WHEREAS, on April 1^st, 2003, Supplier and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”) entered into a Product Purchase Addendum and a Materials Supply Agreement on October 15, 2003 including various addenda, which were amended from time to time (collectively referred to as the “Original Agreement”);

WHEREAS, GLOBALFOUNDRIES became the successor to AMD in the Original Agreement and became a party to the Original Agreement as of December 8, 2008;

WHEREAS, GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Supplier together referred to as “Parties” or each as “Party” as the case might be, now wish to enter into this Materials Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) as of the Effective Date, and this Agreement shall replace the Original Agreement as of the Effective Date, provided that and to the extent there are any Orders still in effect as of the Effective Date, such Orders shall be attached to this Agreement;

WHEREAS, GLOBALFOUNDRIES US 2 LLC (Fab 9 and 10) (“GF US 2 LLC”) and Supplier entered into an Adoption Agreement on July 1, 2015, wherein GF US 2 LLC and Supplier identified and acknowledge certain GF Agreements and the Long Term Agreement (each as defined in the Adoption Agreement) were between GF US 2 LLC and Supplier;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, rights and obligations set forth herein of which each Party hereby acknowledges; and intend to be further legally bound, and agree as follows:

1. Scope of Agreement

(a)

Scope.

Supplier agrees to sell and GLOBALFOUNDRIES agrees to purchase, subject to the limitations set forth herein, those products (“Products”) set forth in one or more Product Purchase Addenda or Long Term Addenda agreed to by the Parties or a Party’s -Affiliate, or such similar documents that contain terms with respect to the purchase and sale of Products and that make reference to this Agreement (each an “Addendum”), or one or more mutually agreed upon purchase orders or scheduling agreements by the Parties and issued by GLOBALFOUNDRIES (each an “Order”). Each Addendum and Order are incorporated into this Agreement, herein by reference. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in the applicable Addendum or Order, the terms of any Addendum or Order will control

Materials Supply Agreement GLOBALFOUNDRIES SOITEC

over the terms of this Agreement, to the extent the terms of the Addendum or Order may be inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following provisions set forth in this Agreement shall not be amended or superseded by the terms of any Addendum or Order, and may only be modified by a written modification to this Agreement that is signed and executed by both Parties: Sections 1; 2; 3(a), (c), (d); 4(c), (d)(i), (d)(ii), (d)(iv), (e) (ii), (f), (g), (h), (i); 6; 7; 8; 11; 12;13; 14; 15.

Other than as explicitly set forth in this Agreement or any Addendum, neither Party accepts nor agrees to the other Parties standard pre-printed terms appearing on the other Parties forms, including any such terms that may appear on an Order.

(b)

Affiliates.

Affiliates of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, with the exception of GLOBALFOUNDRIES US 2 LLC (Fab 9 and 10), may also issue Orders or may be added as parties to an Addendum with Supplier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Addendum for so long as such entities remain Affiliates of GLOBALFOUNDRIES. For the avoidance of doubt, such Affiliates shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Addendum and/or Orders. For purposes of this Agreement “Affiliate” as used herein means any corporation, company, or other entity which (i) is Controlled by a Party hereto; (ii) Controls a Party hereto; or (iii) is under common Control with a Party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, ownership in a company in conjunction with the right to manage the company shall be considered to qualify as Control of the company.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event an entity is no longer an Affiliate of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, it is no longer allowed to be a Party to this Agreement or any applicable Addendum or Order unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing between the Parties.

Further the Parties intend that this Agreement shall supersede the GF Agreements and the Long Term Agreement as defined in the Recitals only to the extent such agreements were assigned to GLOBALFOUNDRIES or an Affiliate, as defined in Section 1(b), above; for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties do not intend for this Agreement to supersede the GF Agreements and the Long Term Agreement to the extent GLOBALFOUNDRIES US 2 LLC (Fab9 and 10) is a party to such agreements,

2. Term of Agreement

This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect through March 31, 2022, and will automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods thereafter unless and until terminated by either Party providing written notice of termination to the other Party at least [***] days prior to expiration of the then-current period of the Agreement, or unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated or the term of the Agreement expires before the term of an Addendum or Order is terminated or expired, then, the terms of this Agreement shall survive such termination or expiration of the Agreement so that the Agreement shall continue to govern the purchase and sale of Products pursuant to such applicable Addendum, or Order until it expires or is terminated.
