INTEL CONFIDENTIAL
Intel ***** ASP (XXX) - the Average Sales Price for an Integrated
Gb Silicon sold to external companies for ***** . SEE FURTHER
DEFINITION OF ASP BELOW.
Marvell ***** Margin Sharing Percentage (M***** MSP) - the
percentage of ***** margin dollars Marvell receives from Intel -
*****
Marvell Product Cost (MPC) - Marvell's actual cost of the
fabricated wafer, wafer sort, testing, less packaging costs
Intel ***** Cost (IPC) - Intel's actual cost to ***** the
Integrated Gb Silicon
Total Part Cost (TPC) - The sum of ***** and *****
Example:
If Intel's ***** is $***** , MPC is $***** and ***** is $*****,
then ***** is $***** + $***** = $***** and IPP is:
IPP = $***** = $*****
Intel will pay Marvell $***** per Integrated Gb Silicon and
$***** to the packaging house specified in Exhibit D.
ii) "Average Sales Price" or "ASP" shall mean Intel's ***** price (which
does not include ***** for Integrated Gb Silicon sold to unaffiliated
third parties in a bona fide arm's length transaction, assuming such
products are generally available for sale to such unaffiliated, bona
fide third parties, less only: (i) discounts allowed in amounts
customary in the trade for quantity purchases and (ii) amounts allowed
or credited on returns. No deductions shall be made for ***** or for
cost of ***** . ASP shall be calculated each quarter as: ***** derived
from the Integrated Gb Silicon as described above divided by the number
of revenue earning units shipped to unaffiliated third parties.
4) QUARTERLY MEETING: Within thirty (30) days after the end of each
calendar quarter, or as the parties otherwise mutually agree, the
parties shall meet to administer the pricing, commencing one quarter
before FCS of the Integrated Gb Silicon. At Intel's option, the parties
shall meet in addition on a monthly basis to administer the pricing and
make any required Adjustments.
a) Quarterly Product Price to Intel: For the purposes of determining the
target Intel Product Price above for purposes of Section 3(b) above,
prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter, the parties shall meet
to set the target Intel Product Price for the upcoming calendar quarter.
For the purposes of such calculation, Intel shall use its best efforts
to submit a reasonable target XXX and reasonable target IPC and Marvell
shall use its best efforts to submit a reasonable target MPC. These
targets will then be used to set price for Option #2 for the upcoming
quarter. For the purposes of the very first meeting, Marvell will
provide the initial MPC based on its expected actual costs from TSMC or
Intel approved fab and Marvell and Intel working together shall provide
the then current IPC.
b) Adjustments to the Product price based on actual ASP/Costs: Within 30
days after the end of each calendar quarter, Intel shall submit its
actual XXX of the Integrated Gb Silicon to Marvell and Marvell shall
submit its actual Marvell Product Cost to Intel for the actual calendar
quarter. Such calculations shall be subject to the audit provision set
forth in Section 10 of the main text of the Agreement. Based on each
party's submissions, an adjustment to the Intel Product Price will be
made in accordance with the ***** margin sharing formula set forth above
in 3(b)(i) as set forth in the following formula:
Compensation Page 3
16
INTEL CONFIDENTIAL
Adjustment = (number of Integrated Gb Silicon units shipped to
Intel) * (IPPACTUAL - IPP TARGETED ).
If the net of the Adjustments is in Intel's favor, Marvell shall
promptly issue a credit memo to Intel, and if the net of the Adjustment
is in Marvell's favor, Marvell shall invoice Intel for the net
adjustment. In no event shall the adjusted XXX for any quarterly period
be less than ***** percent ***** %) of the targeted XXX at the beginning
of the quarter. In no event shall the adjusted MPC for any quarterly
period be more than ***** percent *****%) of the targeted MPC at the
beginning of the quarter.

QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
1.0 PURPOSE
This document outlines Intel's minimum expectations for the quality and
reliability requirements for the Marvell Gb Phy product and the Integrated Gb
Silicon.
1.1 MARVELL GB PHY
The Marvell Gigabit Phy should meet all the criteria listed in the Intel
specification ***** Rev 4 - General Procurement Specification for Silicon
Integrated circuits. Intel must approve any exceptions to the spec. Any branding
requirements from Intel's ***** spec must be explicitly called out in Exhibit E.
Any requirements in `Appendix D' of ***** will be superceded by requirements
listed in Exhibit E.
1.1A INTEGRATED GB SILICON
The Integrated Gb Silicon part should meet all the criteria listed in the Intel
specification ***** Rev 4 - General Procurement Specification for Silicon
Integrated circuits with the outgoing DPM specified below (< *****DPM). Intel
must approve any exceptions to the spec. Any branding requirements from Intel's
***** spec must be explicitly called out in Exhibit E. Any requirements in
`Appendix D' of ***** will be superceded by requirements listed in Exhibit E.
1.2 RETENTION OF RECORDS
Marvell will maintain records pertaining to the manufacture and inspection of
all Items for 1 year. This should include but is not limited to:
a) documentation
b) reported data
c) tests performed
d) inspections
e) process changes
1.3. RIGHT TO AUDIT
Intel reserves the right to conduct an on-site audit of Marvell's supplier's
processes with reasonable advance notice. The audit may cover basic quality
operating systems, manufacturing, test, etc. Marvell will facilitate this
meeting between the two organizations.
1.4. QUALIFICATION PROCESS (FOR MARVELL GB PHY AND INTEGRATED GB SILICON)
Marvell will provide, upon reasonable request, any documentation reasonably
required to assist Intel in determining the baseline quality level for the Item.
Requested documentation will include, but is not limited to:
a) Qualification Plan and Report
b) Test Plan and report
c) Certification Reports for fab process and standard package
assembly process. Intel may re-qualify the package assembly
process at its own expense if it chooses.
The intent is to establish an understanding of quality levels and correlate
Marvell's qualification activities to Intel's. When engineering/design changes
occur, Intel may require Marvell to resubmit certain documentation as it
pertains to scheduled Item changes and updates.

production DPM will meet or exceed the ***** DPM IME upper limit in
accordance with the "Quality Improvement and Corrective Actions"
requirements listed in Exhibit E.
2) At least ***** SCAN coverage on all digital blocks except where
prevented by DSP or other performance issues. At least ***** toggle
coverage on non-SCAN digital blocks. At least ***** functional coverage
on analog blocks. In cases where it is difficult to determine precise
fault coverage percentage, Intel and Marvell will need to agree that the
intent of the fault coverage goal has been met.
3) IME units should be the same units that have been run through*****
4) Readouts for IME and Lifetest to be performed at ***** hours.
5) Lifetest units should be a subset of the IME/QV units.
6) Preconditioning will be minimum *****. Weight step is optional in
preconditioning flow.
7) ***** hours of 85/85 may be substituted for ***** hours HAST.
8) CDM ESD will be performed to JEDEC std., and will be required only for
the Integrated product.
9) For the stand-alone (PQFP) Gigabit product, the Latchup temperature will
be reduced to *****C due to socketing issues.
1.6. DATA REPORTING
Marvell shall make available to Intel the quality data on a regular basis, but
no less frequently than monthly. Such data may include yield information, OQA
(Outgoing Quality) data, FA details etc. The data is to be sent to the attention
of the Intel's Quality Engineer on a monthly basis or mutually agreed upon
timeframe. Marvell and Intel may jointly determine that some of the above data
