RFMD shall purchase, at the Contract Price, 100% of the Wafers for which JAZZ is required to commence the SiGe or CMOS fabrication process as specified by RFMD for the [……] month of the Forecast and for the [……] **of the initial Forecast (a “Guaranteed Month”). The number of Wafers set forth in a Forecast with respect to a Guaranteed Month that RFMD is obligated to purchase pursuant to this section shall be referred to herein as the *“Wafer Volume Commitment***.” RFMD may decrease, by the percentages set forth in the following table, the number of Wafers for any month (other than for a Guaranteed Month) of the then current Forecast in the next subsequent Forecast, but in no event shall JAZZ be obligated to supply Wafers for any calendar year in excess of its capacity commitment set forth in Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement:

Month of the current Forecast	Percentage Change permitted in the next subsequent Forecast
[…***…]	[…***…]	%
[…***…]	[…***…]	%
[…***…]	[…***…]	%
[…***…]	[…***…]	%
[…***…]	[…***…]	%

JAZZ and RFMD acknowledge that the number of Wafers in a Forecast shall be the number for a certain fabrication process (i.e., SiGe or CMOS), and nothing herein shall restrict changes to the mix of Wafers within a certain fabrication process by RFMD in subsequent Forecasts, provided the total number of Wafers for a certain fabrication process shall be subject to the limitations set forth above.

(c) JAZZ Capacity Commitments. JAZZ, shall accept each Purchase Order, which is consistent with the Forecast, and fulfill all the amounts in RFMD’s then-current Forecasts up to the baseline amount for each year of the term of this Supply Agreement referenced in Exhibit B (the “Baseline Commitment”). If the amount forecasted in any calendar year exceeds the Baseline Commitment (the amount of such excess being referred to herein as the “Excess Demand”), provided such Excess Demand does not exceed [……] the Baseline Commitment then JAZZ shall use its commercially best efforts to satisfy the Excess Demand, and JAZZ shall not fulfill the demands of any other customers of JAZZ in excess of JAZZ’s minimum commitment to such other customers unless and until JAZZ has fully satisfied the Excess Demand. Regardless of Baseline or subsequent forecast, Jazz shall at all times agree, upon [……] advance notice by RFMD, to start […***…] per day during the term of this Agreement.

(d) Preferred Vendor Status.

The amounts of the Wafer Volume Commitment not purchased by RFMD (“Shortfalls”), if any, will be reconciled and invoiced at the end of each month, subject to the allowances provided for in Section 2.1.(b) attributable to that month, and amounts due in respect thereof, after applying the Wafer Credits, shall be paid by RFMD within forty (40) days thereafter RFMD’s payment of the foregoing amounts in respect to Shortfalls shall be JAZZ’s sole and exclusive remedy, and RFMD’s entire liability, for RFMD’s failure to meet any Forecast hereunder or to release or purchase any Wafers ordered in Purchase Orders.

5.2 Wafer Credits. (a) JAZZ will provide to RFMD credits for the purchase of Wafers from JAZZ, in the amount of […***…] Million U.S. Dollars (U.S. $[…***…]). Such Wafer Credits shall apply only to the Basic Price (as described in Exhibit A) of Wafers purchased by RFMD. The amount of the Wafer Credit shall be applied to each and every Wafer purchased by RFMD by the reduction in the Basic Price per wafer invoiced by: […***…] percent ([…***…]%) through December 2003, […***…] percent ([…***…]%) through December 2004, […***…] percent ([…***…]%) through December 2005, […***…] percent ([…***…]%) through December 2006, and […***…] percent ([…***…]%) in all subsequent years until the total amount of Wafer Credits has been satisfied. Within 10 days after the close of the Jazz accounting month, Jazz will provide to RFMD payment for the wafer credits earned during such accounting period. The summary provided will reference invoice number, credit earned and date of invoice.

(b) Upon the receipt of full payment of the Promissory Note of RFMD in the principal amount of $30 million held by Jazz dated October 15, 2002 (the “RFMD Note”), the amount of the Wafer Credits shall be increased to a total of […***…] Million U.S. Dollars (U.S. $[…***…]) to be applied in accordance with Section 5.2 (a) above.

(c) If the RFMD Note is not paid in full in cash by October 15, 2003, in addition to any other remedy available to Jazz, the unused Wafer Credit remaining as of October 15, 2003 shall be forfeited as of that date.

5.3 Costs. Except as otherwise provided herein or agreed to in writing by the Parties, each Party will be solely responsible for the costs and expenses it incurs in performing its obligations under this Supply Agreement.

5.4 Taxes. RFMD will be responsible for payment of any local, state or federal sales, use and excise or similar taxes or related government charges (“Taxes”) imposed on or arising from RFMD’s purchase of Wafers under this Supply Agreement, excluding any Taxes on the net income or net worth of JAZZ. All Wafer prices are exclusive of federal, state or local sales, use, excise, or similar taxes applicable to Wafers or mask sets or the fabrication, processing, engineering, or sale thereof. Any such tax(es) shall be separately itemized on JAZZ’s invoice(s) and paid by RFMD, or, in lieu thereof, RFMD shall furnish JAZZ a properly executed tax exemption certificate prior to shipment.

(d) In the event of arbitration, there shall be one arbitrator who shall be jointly nominated by such parties. If the Parties fail to so nominate the arbitrators within thirty (30) days from the date when the Dispute is submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Section 13.3, at the request of any Party, the arbitrator(s) shall be appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.

(e) The arbitration hearing shall commence no later than ninety (90) days following the appointment of the sole arbitrator, as the case may be, and the final award shall be rendered no later than thirty (30) days following the close of the hearing.

(f) Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each Party will, upon the written request of the other Party, provide the other with copies of documents relevant to the issue raised by any claim or counterclaim. Other discovery may be ordered by the arbitrator to the extent the arbitrator deems additional discovery relevant and appropriate, and any dispute regarding discovery, relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrator, which determination shall be conclusive.

(g) By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, injunctive or other equitable relief or an order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a national court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

(h) The award shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal in connection with the Dispute. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.

(i) The costs of the arbitration shall be borne as determined in accordance with the Arbitration Rules; provided, however, that to the extent a Party is non-prevailing or unsuccessful on a claim in an arbitration proceeding under this Section 12.3 as determined by the arbitrator, that Party shall pay the prevailing or successful Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration of that Dispute, including attorneys’ fees and arbitration expenses, whether or not such Dispute is prosecuted to award or judgment.

(j) Subject to the receipt of any applicable governmental approval, any monetary award shall be made and promptly payable in U.S. dollars, if due in U.S. dollars, free of any deduction or offset, and the arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief proposed by the claimants or respondents pursuant to this Supply Agreement, including without limitation, a declaratory judgment, specific performance of any obligation created under this Supply Agreement or the issuance of an injunction.

12.4 Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries of this Supply Agreement. Except for the pricing established under this Supply Agreement, and any rights of RFMD’s Affiliates set forth herein to purchase Wafers from JAZZ subject to such pricing, no provision of this Supply Agreement, express or implied, is intended or will be construed to confer upon or give to any customer or other person other than the Parties any rights, remedies, or other benefits under or by reason of this Supply Agreement.

12.5 Compliance with Law. The Parties will at all times comply with all applicable foreign, U.S., state, and local laws, rules and regulations relating to the execution, delivery and performance of this Supply Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not export or reexport, resell, ship, or divert or cause to be exported or reexported, resold, shipped, or diverted directly or indirectly any software, documentation, or technical data incorporating any software to any country for which the government (or any agency thereof) of the United States, or any foreign sovereign government with competent jurisdiction requires an export license or other governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval.

12.6 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Supply Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by an act of God, act of a public enemy, war or national emergency, rebellion, insurrection, riot, epidemic, quarantine restriction,

fire, flood, explosion, storm, earthquake, interruption in the supply of electricity, power, or energy, or other catastrophe, terrorist attack, labor dispute or disruption of such Party’s suppliers, or other event beyond the reasonable control of such Party. If a Party’s performance under this Supply Agreement is affected by a force majeure event, such Party shall give prompt written notice of such event to the other Party and shall at all times use its reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate the impact of the force majeure event on its performance under this Supply Agreement. In the event of a force majeure event as described in this Section that affects either or both Parties’ ability to perform under this Supply Agreement, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith in order to resume the transactions contemplated by this Supply Agreement as soon as commercially possible to the extent commercially reasonable.

12.7 Amendment; Later Agreement. This Supply Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented by the Parties in any manner, except by an instrument in writing signed by RFMD and JAZZ and specifically reciting that it amends this Supply Agreement. No purchase order or acknowledgement will amend this Supply Agreement, and all purchase orders or acknowledgements shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement regardless of statements to the contrary contained within the purchase order or acknowledgment. All matters designated herein as subject to agreement of the Parties must be agreed upon in a writing signed by authorized representatives of both Parties for such agreement to be effective.
