“Bluetooth” means the connection and exchange of information between one device and other devices using a secure globally unlicensed short range radio frequency and which conforms to the industrial specification for wireless personal networks known as “Bluetooth”.

Currency:		US Dollars
Currency Conversion:		ASP in any currency other than US$ shall be converted to ASP in US$ using the average local currency/US$ exchange rate over the Quarter as published by the US Federal Reserve [see xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/x0/]
Due:		At the end of each Quarter
Payable:		In accordance with the provisions of Clause 6 of the TLA.
Invoice Address:		3328, 33/F China Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx

Calculation:

For each unit of ARM Compliant Product distributed by LICENSEE, LICENSEE shall pay a Royalty calculated by multiplying the ASP for the ARM Compliant Product by the Royalty Rate determined from the following table:

For Bluetooth products:-

Cumulative Number of Units of ARM Compliant
Products distributed by LICENSEE		Royalty Rate
***		***% ASP
***		***% ASP
***		***% ASP
***		***% ASP

For Handset Baseband products:-

Cumulative Number of Units of ARM Compliant
Products distributed by LICENSEE		Royalty Rate
***		The greater of ***% ASP and Royalty Floor*
***		The greater of ***% ASP and Royalty Floor*
***		The greater of ***% ASP and Royalty Floor*
***		The greater of ***% ASP and Royalty Floor*

* Royalty Floor for the table above is $***

For all other products:-

Cumulative Number of Units of ARM Compliant
Products distributed by LICENSEE		Royalty Rate
***		The greater of ***% ASP and Royalty Floor**
***		The greater of ***% ASP and Royalty Floor**
***		The greater of ***% ASP and Royalty Floor**
***		The greater of ***% ASP and Royalty Floor**

Page 18 of 22

** Royalty Floor for the table above means :-		(i) $*** where the ASP is ³ $2;
		(ii) $*** where the ASP < $2 and ³ $1; and
		(iii) $*** where the ASP is < $1.

For the purpose of calculating Royalties, only the distribution by the entity exercising the licences to distribute encapsulated die of ARM Compliant Products which have been manufactured under this Annex 1 (notwithstanding that such distribution may be between RDA and a Subsidiary of RDA or between Subsidiaries of RDA) shall be relevant.

All Royalties paid to ARM pursuant to this Annex 1 shall be non refundable.

In an ARM Compliant Product with more than one ARM core embedded into the same piece of silicon, the royalties for each core in the device shall be cumulated up to a maximum number of five cores in total, starting with the cores that have the highest royalty. The total royalty payable on the second and subsequent cores in accordance shall be reduced in accordance with the following table;

Core		% of royalty payable
ARM core with highest royalty		***% of applicable Royalty
ARM core with same or second highest royalty		***% of applicable Royalty
ARM core with same or third highest royalty		***% of applicable Royalty
ARM core with same or fourth highest royalty		***% of applicable Royalty
ARM core with same or fifth highest royalty		***% of applicable Royalty

Example 1:

An ARM Compliant Product contains three ARM*** Cores, the ASP of the ARM Compliant Product is US$*** and the royalty payable on the cumulative volume is ***% ASP subject to a floor of US$***.

Total Royalty = US$***(floor amount) + ($***x*** – for second core) + ($***x *** – for third core) = US$***

Example 2:

An ARM Compliant Product contains three ARM*** cores with an applicable royalty rate of ***% and three ARM*** cores with an applicable royalty rate of ***% subject to a floor of US$***. The ASP of the ARM Compliant Product is US$***. Since there are 6 cores, only the first five are counted for royalty generating purposes.

Total royalty = ($***x***% for *** core) + ($***x***%x*** – for second *** core) + ($***x3%x*** for third *** core) + ($***x*** –fourth core (floor applies)) + ($***x*** – fifth core (floor applies)) = US$***
