ITEM 1. BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
International Rectifier Corporation ("IR" or the "Company") is a major
worldwide supplier of power semiconductors. Power semiconductors switch or
condition electricity at relatively high voltage and current levels in products
such as computers/peripherals, automobiles, portable phones, and electronic
lights.
The Company designs, manufactures and markets power semiconductors which are
used for power conversion. In the same way that oil is refined to produce
gasoline to power a car, electrical power is converted to operate equipment.
This process of power conversion can be viewed in four stages: input
rectification, control, switching, and output rectification. Input rectification
conditions off-line electricity, typically rectifying alternating-current to
direct-current. The control function measures incoming electricity and sends a
signal to the switch. The switch chops the energy into small elements. Output
rectification re-configures the elements into a form usable by electrically
operated equipment.
IR supplies products that perform each of the four basic functions in power
conversion, and many circuits use more than one type of IR product. This allows
IR to develop products that work together to optimize overall circuit
performance, and enables the Company to capitalize more broadly on market-
leading products.
IR's products are used in all major market sectors. Applications for power
semiconductors in automobiles include anti-lock braking and fuel injection
systems, power accessories, and air bags. Computer/peripheral applications
include power supplies, disk drives, and printers. Office equipment applications
include copiers and facsimile machines. Consumer electronics and lighting
applications include home entertainment, household appliances and electronic
lighting ballasts. Communications applications include portable phones,
telephone networks and modems. Power semiconductors are also used widely in
industrial applications such as motor-driven production lines, machine tools,
fork lifts, and welders.
Based on statistics published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (the
"SIA"), the Company believes it is the leader in the power MOSFET (Metal Oxide
Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) segment with its trademarked
HEXFET-Registered Trademark- power MOSFETs and IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistors). SIA data indicates that industry-wide sales of power MOSFETs were
$1.5 billion in calendar 1994, an increase of 38% over 1993 levels, and that,
over the past five years, power MOSFET sales have grown at an average rate of
28% per year.
The Company's major customers include industry leaders such as AT&T
Technologies Inc., Conner Peripherals, Inc., General Motors Corp., Hewlett
Packard Co., International Business Machines Corp., Matsushita Electronics
Corporation, Sanken Electric Company, Ltd., Sony Corporation, Sporele and
Siemens AG. In fiscal year 1995 the Company's sales by region were approximately
46% from North America, 28% from Europe, and 26% from Asia. IR has manufacturing
facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia, and uses subcontract assembly in
Asia.
IR was founded as a California corporation in 1947 and reincorporated in
Delaware in 1979. Its executive offices are located at 233 Kansas Street, El
Segundo, California 90245 and its telephone number is (310) 322-3331.
POWER SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY
Semiconductors are silicon-based chips that conduct and block electricity.
The semiconductor industry consists of integrated circuits ("ICs") and power
semiconductors. ICs operate at low power levels and perform multiple functions
to process and convey information in electronic signal form. IC capability is
largely defined by circuit density, which increases as its features are
miniaturized. The
1
applications for ICs are generally concentrated in the computer industry and
have been subject to frequent redesign, short product life cycles and rapid
obsolescence. As a result, the demand for ICs has been highly cyclical.
In contrast to ICs, power semiconductors operate at higher power levels and
perform a single function: they condition and control electricity to operate a
power supply, control a motor, or light a lamp. Their capability is largely
defined by the level of power that they can handle and their efficiency in
converting raw electric current into a more useful form. The amount of electric
current handled and the heat it generates limit the rate at which power
semiconductors can be miniaturized.
Advances in power semiconductor performance and cost-per-function have been
achieved through the use of MOS technology. MOS power transistors (power MOSFETs
and IGBTs) have gained an increasing share of the power transistor market at the
expense of bipolar transistors that also serve the switch function.
MOS power transistors offer significant benefits over bipolar power
transistors. They provide much greater switching speed, which allows the design
of higher frequency, more compact circuits. They are activated by voltage rather
than current, so they require less external circuitry. MOS transistors are more
compatible with microprocessor controls. They offer more reliable long-term
performance and are more rugged, so they can better withstand adverse operating
conditions. Power MOSFETs and IGBTs compare favorably to bipolar power
transistors on a price/performance basis.
APPLICATIONS
Power semiconductors are used in a broad spectrum of commercial and
industrial applications, including many products with long life cycles. Because
of their more gradual rate of technological change and the diversity of
applications, the demand for power semiconductors is less cyclical than for ICs.
Power semiconductor demand is driven by conversion to new technologies, the
proliferation of new end-product applications, and growth in the end markets.
The Company believes that markets driving future demand for power semiconductors
include:
PORTABLE ELECTRONICS. Advances in power semiconductors help extend
battery life and reduce product size and weight in a variety of
battery-operated products such as lap-top and notebook computers,
personal digital organizers, cellular telephones, household appliances
and hand tools.
AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS. The concentration of solid state
electronics in recent model year automobiles has increased rapidly, as
safety and comfort features increase demands on the battery.
Applications include anti-lock braking systems, air-bags, fuel injection
systems, electric windows and adjustable mirrors and seats. Adoption of
battery operated electric vehicles to reduce emissions would
dramatically increase consumption of MOS transistors.
ELECTRONIC LIGHTING BALLASTS. Electronic lighting ballasts, which
incorporate power MOSFETs and Power Integrated Circuits, significantly
reduce the amount of energy consumed in lighting. Conversion to
electronic ballasts has been driven by lower end-user operating costs
and incentives from electric utilities to encourage energy efficiency.
VARIABLE SPEED MOTORS. Variable-speed solid-state controls increase
energy efficiency and performance in a broad range of industrial and
appliance motors. In addition, clean air legislation is driving the
conversion from traditional chlorofluorocarbons ("CFCs") to less toxic
refrigerants which are also less efficient. Manufacturers of
refrigerators and air conditioners can compensate for these less
efficient chemicals by using more efficient variable-speed motors.
PRODUCTS
The Company's products convert electrical power to make it more useable and
efficient in performing work such as operating power supplies, controlling
motors, and lighting lamps. The products' ability to minimize energy lost at
each point in the power conversion process is central to
2
their value. Important growth applications include such energy-sensitive
products as electronic fluorescent lights, more energy efficient refrigeration
and air conditioning equipment, and electric vehicles.
The Company's HEXFET power MOSFET products comprised about 66% of fiscal
1995 sales. IR also supplies IGBT transistors, High Voltage Control Integrated
Circuits, high-performance diodes, and high power rectifiers and thyristors. The
Company believes that this complete line of power conversion products represents
a competitive advantage, enabling IR to provide customers with integrated
solutions to their power conversion needs.
SWITCHING PRODUCTS
MOS TRANSISTORS. MOS transistors (power MOSFETs and IGBTs) serve the switch
function in power conversion to provide an even, usable flow of power for
electronic equipment.
POWER MOSFETS. Through its HEXFET product line, the Company is the world
leader in power MOSFETs. The breadth and diversity of the market for these
products help to stabilize demand.
Applications for MOSFETs in automobiles include anti-lock braking and fuel
injection systems, power accessories and air bags. Computer/peripheral
applications include power supplies, disk drives, and printers. Office equipment
applications include copiers and facsimile machines. Consumer electronics
applications include home entertainment, videocameras, household appliances, and
power tools. Lighting applications include electronic lighting ballasts and
compact fluorescent bulbs. Industrial applications include instrumentation and
test equipment. Communications applications include telephone networks and
modems. Government and aerospace applications include commercial and military
satellites, communications equipment, command-and-control systems, and missiles.
Market acceptance and brand recognition of HEXFETs have benefited from the
Company's emphasis on quality control and reliability, and the Company believes
its standards to be among the most stringent in the industry. Cumulative and
current data on long and short term product reliability is made available to
customers quarterly.
The Company fabricates the large majority of its power MOSFET wafers at
HEXFET America. Die from these wafers are assembled into packaged devices at
HEXFET America, IR's facilities in England and Mexico, and subcontract
facilities in Asia. See "-- Manufacturing."
IGBTS. IGBTs typically serve the switch function in power conversion
applications that require higher current and voltage than power MOSFETs handle
efficiently. IGBTs combine the ease of voltage-driven power MOSFET technology
with the conduction efficiency of bipolar transistor technology. The performance
and ruggedness of these devices enable them to replace bipolar transistors and
thyristors in many high-voltage, high-current motor control and power
conditioning applications. Energy-efficient, variable-speed motor controls are
an emerging application, and the Company believes electric vehicles will require
large quantities of IGBTs for each vehicle.
The Company's IGBT technology is closely related to its HEXFET technology,
and the Company views them as complementary products. The Company believes that
its patents on fundamental MOSFET technology also apply to IGBTs, and it is
seeking further patent protection on its IGBT technology.
CONTROL PRODUCTS
HIGH VOLTAGE CONTROL ICS. These devices serve the control function of power
conversion. They perform the functions of several discrete components. This
integration allows IR's customers to simplify circuit design and assembly,
improve reliability and reduce overall system size and cost. In sensing and
responding to adverse operating conditions, High Voltage Control IC performance
is superior to that of discrete components in a safety or diagnostic circuit.
IR's High Voltage Control ICs draw on the Company's MOSFET technology and are
designed to optimize the performance of both power MOSFETs and IGBTs. The
Company believes that its power MOSFET patents also apply to a broad range of
High Voltage Control ICs.
3
High Voltage Control ICs are used in a wide variety of power supply, motor
and lighting control applications. These include industrial motor controls, home
appliance motor controls, solenoid drivers, welding equipment, telecom
switchers, computer/peripherals, instrumentation and test equipment, electronic
lighting ballasts, and compact fluorescent light bulbs.
INPUT RECTIFICATION PRODUCTS
The Company also manufactures a broad line of rectifiers, diodes and
thyristors that serve the input rectification function of power conversion.
These products condition power to make it more efficient and useable,
principally in industrial end products that require power-handling capability
from one amp to 5000 amps and from 20 volts to 5000 volts. Applications include
motor and lighting controls, welding equipment, fork lifts, machine tools,
induction heating, locomotives, motor-driven production lines, smelting
equipment, and power supplies.
OUTPUT RECTIFICATION PRODUCTS
The Company's Schottky diodes and Fast-Recovery diodes serve the output
rectification function of power conversion. Output rectification reconfigures
the elements into a form usable by electrically operated equipment. Schottky
diodes are used with power MOSFETs in high-frequency applications such as
computer/peripherals. The Company's trademarked HEXFRED-Registered Trademark-
Fast-Recovery diodes are used with IGBTs in higher-current, lower-frequency
applications such as motor controls.
MANUFACTURING
Semiconductor manufacturing involves two phases of production: wafer
fabrication and assembly (or packaging). Wafer fabrication is a sequence of
process steps that expose silicon wafers to chemicals that change their
electrical properties. The chemicals are applied in patterns that define cells
or circuits within numerous individual devices (often termed "die" or "chips")
on each wafer. Packaging or assembly is the sequence of production steps that
divide the wafer into individual chips and enclose the chips in external
structures (termed packages) that make them useable in a circuit. Power
semiconductors generally use the process technology and equipment already proven
in ICs manufacturing.
The Company has production facilities in California, England, Italy, Mexico
and India. In addition, the Company has equipment at, or manufacturing supply
agreements with, subcontractors located in the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan,
Malaysia, and the United States.
IR fabricates substantially all of its power MOSFET wafers at HEXFET America
in Temecula, California. A wafer fabrication facility for IGBTs and other MOSFET
devices as well as assembly operations for government and other advanced
products are located in El Segundo, California. Facilities that assemble HEXFETs
and other products are located in the United States and overseas, in
Company-owned and subcontract facilities, in order to take advantage of low
assembly costs and provide maximum customer service. In Tijuana, Mexico, the
Company assembles MOSFET products, IGBTs and other modules. The Company's Oxted,
England facility, which qualifies as a duty-free facility, assembles MOSFETs,
IGBTs, Schottky and diodes. Since April 1, 1994 the Company has manufactured
substantially all its high power rectifiers and thyristors at its Turin, Italy
facility. The Company also has arrangements with third parties for product
assembly in the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and Mexico. In a duty-free
zone in India, the Company has an assembly facility for rectifiers and
thyristors.
To meet rising demand for power MOSFETs, the Company is expanding wafer
fabrication at HEXFET America. The Company believes that the estimated $75
million expansion will increase its power MOSFET fabrication capacity by about
75% and is expected to support about $185 million in additional product
shipments at full utilization.
The expansion will position IR to aggressively address the fastest growing
segments of the power transistor market, high density MOSFETs and IGBTs.
Next-generation devices designed for production in the new fabrication facility
incorporate design and process advancements in the Company's proprietary HEXFET
and IGBT technologies. A core process with shared elements for both products
4
will enable the facility to combine flexibility with efficient high-volume
manufacturing techniques. The fabrication will be performed on six-inch wafers
and will use a continuous-flow layout similar to the one already in use at
HEXFET America. The expansion is on schedule and within budget at this time. The
Company has completed substantially all equipment installation and has begun
internal qualification and operator and technician training. Customer
qualifications are expected to begin in September, and manufacturing is
scheduled to begin to ramp up by the end of the calendar year.
Shortly after the close of the fiscal year, IR announced plans to transfer
assembly lines from HEXFET America to its assembly facility in Tijuana, Mexico
and to independent subcontractors. Designed to allow the California plant to
focus on expansion of its benchmark wafer fabrication capability and to reduce
the cost of assembling the Company's HEXFET-Registered Trademark- power MOSFET
chips into finished devices, the move will affect only the assembly phase of
manufacturing. The Company's 75 percent expansion of wafer fabrication capacity
is unaffected by the move. The assembly lines will be moved out of the
California plant over a 12 to 18 month period.
MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company markets its products through sales personnel, representatives,
or distributors. The Company believes its ability to offer products that serve
each of the four functions of power conversion enhances its competitive position
in the overall power semiconductor market.
In fiscal year 1995 the Company's sales by region were approximately 46%
from North America, 28% from Europe, and 26% from Asia. The Company's domestic
direct sales force is organized in four sales zones. In Western Europe, the
Company's products are sold through its own sales force as well as through sales
agents and distributors. The Company's European sales and representative offices
are in England, Italy, Sweden, France, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Russia,
Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. In Asia IR has sales and representative
liaison offices in India, Japan, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Korea.
Because many applications require products from several product groups, the
Company has organized its marketing efforts by market sector, rather than
product type. These business management groups focus on several key commercial
sectors and on government and aerospace business. In addition, the Company's
staff of applications engineers provides customers with technical advice and
support regarding the use of IR's products.
CUSTOMERS
In most cases, the Company's devices are incorporated in larger systems
manufactured by end product manufacturers. The Company's customers in the
automotive segment include General Motors Corp., Ford, Delco, Siemens AG and
Bosch. International Business Machines Corp., Hewlett Packard Co., Apple
Computer Inc. and Compaq purchase the Company's products in the computer
segment. Consumer electronics customers include Philips and Sony. Customers in
the telecommunications segment include AT&T Technologies, Inc. and Nokia. The
Company also sells its products to distributors including Arrow Electronics,
Future Electronics, and Pioneer Electronics/Pioneer Technology.
BACKLOG
As of June 30, 1995, the Company's backlog of orders was $210.8 million
compared to $121.8 million as of June 30, 1994. Backlog represents purchase
orders which have been released for shipment and are scheduled to be shipped
within the following 12 months. In accordance with industry practice, IR may in
certain circumstances release customers from purchase orders without penalty.
Increasingly, major customers are operating their businesses with shorter lead
times and are placing orders on a periodic rather than an annual basis. Orders
are cancelable and backlog is not necessarily indicative of sales for any future
period.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company is involved in ongoing research and development directed toward
new processes, devices and packages as well as continued improvement of quality
and reliability in existing products.
5
In fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company spent approximately $20.1
million, $16.4 million and $14.1 million, respectively, on research and
development activities. In fiscal 1994, the Company introduced a variety of
products designed to address growth opportunities identified by market sector:
high-density, high-efficiency HEXFETs and surface-mount packages for portable
electronics; High Voltage Control ICs for lighting and motor control
applications; and IGBT devices for motor controls. IR's research and development
program is focused on advancing and diversifying the HEXFET product line,
expanding the related IGBT products, and developing High Voltage Control ICs and
other power products that work in combination with HEXFETs and IGBTs to improve
system performance. IR's research and development staff also works with the
marketing staff to develop new products that address specific customer needs.
Efforts are directed towards developing new processes that enable the Company to
produce smaller, more efficient devices. Efforts are also directed at reducing
assembly costs and developing new package designs and assembly processes.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company has made significant investments in developing and protecting
its intellectual property. Through successful enforcement of its patents, the
Company has entered into a number of license agreements, generated royalty
income and received substantial payments in settlement of litigation. The
Company currently has 64 unexpired U.S. patents and 45 U.S. patents pending.
Those patents fundamental to the Company's products expire between 2000 and
2010. In addition, the Company has 60 foreign patents and 73 foreign patents
pending in a number of countries. The Company is also licensed to use certain
patents owned by others. Under the terms of an agreement with Unitrode
Corporation that terminates in March 2000, the Company pays Unitrode Corporation
approximately 12% of the Company's net patent royalty income. The Company has
several registered trademarks in the United States and abroad including
trademarks for HEXFET. The Company believes that its proprietary technology and
intellectual property contribute to its competitive advantage.
Since the Company believes that its power MOSFET patents are broadly
applicable, it is committed to enforcing its rights under those patents and is
pursuing additional license agreements. The Company presently has
royalty-bearing license agreements with 13 companies: CP Clare Corporation,
Harris Corporation; Hitachi, Ltd.; Matsushita Electronics Corporation;
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation; National Semiconductor Corporation; NEC
Corporation; Nihon Inter Electronics Corporation; Sanken Electric Company, Ltd.;
SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, Inc.; Siliconix incorporated; Toshiba Corporation;
and Unitrode Corporation. In fiscal 1995, $9,743,000 of revenues were derived
from such royalty-bearing license agreements.
Certain of the company's fundamental power MOSFET patents have been
subjected, and continue to be subjected, to reexamination in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO"). The patents subject to reexamination are
fundamental to the Company's MOS transistors and their loss would allow
competitors to use currently patented features of the Company's MOS transistor
technology without liability for infringement of those patents. On the following
dates, the PTO granted requests for reexamination of the following patents of
the Company: November 13, 1992 and September 12, 1994 on patent 4,642,666;
September 12, 1994 on patent 4,959,699; September 23, 1994 and June 28, 1995 on
patent 5,008,725; January 17, 1995 on patent 5,130,767; June 5, 1995 on patent
5,191,396; and June 14,1995 on patent 4,593,302. On February 14, 1995, the PTO
issued a reexamination certificate, confirming the patentability of the
Company's U.S. patent 4,705,759.
Although no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of the
Company's patent enforcement efforts, the PTO reexamination proceedings, or the
success of the Company's patent licensing program, the Company believes that its
patent portfolio will be the source of continuing royalty income.
COMPETITION
The Company encounters differing degrees of competition for its various
products, depending upon the nature of the product and the particular market
served. Generally, the semiconductor industry is highly competitive, and many of
the Company's competitors are larger companies with
6
greater financial resources than IR. The Company believes that its breadth of
product line and its ability to combine products that serve the different
functions into one package distinguish it from its competitors. IR's products
compete with products manufactured by others based on breadth of product line,
quality, price, reliability, over-all performance of the products, delivery time
to the customer, and service (including technical advice and support). The
Company's competitors include Eupec, Harris Corporation, Hitachi Ltd., Motorola,
Inc., NEC Corporation, Philips International B.V., Powerex, Inc., Samsung
Semiconductor Inc., SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, Siemens AG, Siliconix
incorporated, Toshiba Corporation and Westcode Semiconductors Ltd.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Federal, state and local laws and regulations impose various restrictions
and controls on the discharge of certain materials, chemicals and gases used in
semiconductor processing. The Company does not believe that compliance with such
laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on its financial
position.
The Company and Rachelle Laboratories, Inc. ("Rachelle"), its former
pharmaceutical subsidiary which discontinued operations in 1986, have been named
among several hundred entities as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") under
the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), in connection with the United States
Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") investigation of the disposal of
allegedly hazardous substances at a major superfund site in Monterey Park,
California (the "OII Site"). Certain PRPs who settled certain claims with the
EPA under consent decrees filed suit in Federal Court in May 1992 against a
number of other PRPs, including the Company, for cost recovery and contribution
under CERCLA. The lawsuit against the Company, relating to the first and second
consent decrees, was settled in August 1993 for the sum of $40,000 to avoid
protracted and expensive litigation. In June 1995, the Company was named among
others as a party defendant in Federal Court apparently in connection with a
third consent decree with respect to the OII Site. The Company recently received
a letter (dated July 25, 1995) from the U.S. Department of Justice offering to
settle claims against Rachelle relating to the first three elements of cleanup
work at the OII Site for the sum of $4,953,148. (The final remedy assessment has
not yet been made). The letter stated that if the offer is not accepted by
September 1, 1995, enforcement action will follow. The Department of Justice
letter is being evaluated. Claims have been made with the Company's insurers
with respect to the OII Site matter; however, there can be no assurance that
insurance coverage attaches to these claims. The Company does not believe that
either it or Rachelle is responsible for the disposal at the OII Site of any
material constituting hazardous substances under CERCLA. Although the ultimate
resolution of this matter is unknown, the Company believes that it will not have
a material adverse impact on its financial position.
In May 1993, the Company purchased property from its Employee Profit Sharing
and Retirement Plan. It was determined that the property required clean-up of
seepage from a storage tank, at an estimated additional cost of $525,000. The
Company commenced the clean-up in fiscal year 1994, and through June 30, 1995
approximately $450,000 in clean-up costs have been incurred which will be
capitalized as additional costs of the property.
On July 18, 1994, the Company received a letter from the State of Washington
Department of Ecology (the "Department") notifying the Company of a proposed
finding that the Company is a potentially liable person ("PLP") for alleged PCE
contamination (also knows as perchloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and other
names) of real property and groundwater in Yakima County, Washington. The letter
alleges that the Company arranged for disposal or treatment of the PCE or
arranged with a transporter for the disposal or treatment of the PCE in Yakima
County. The Company replied by a letter dated August 11, 1994, stating that it
has not contributed to PCE or other solvent contamination at the Yakima County
site (resulting from sending carbon canisters for regeneration to a facility in
the county) and that it should not be designated a PLP. On October 11, 1994, the
Company received a letter from the Department notifying the Company of its
finding that the Company is a PLP in the above matter. Initial information
indicates that less than one percent of all contaminated carbon sent to the site
by PLPs was contributed by the Company. What amount, if any, the Company may be
asked to contribute to solve the groundwater problem is unknown.
7
The Company received a letter dated September 9, 1994, from the State of
California Department of Toxic Substances Control stating that the Company may
be a PRP for the deposit of hazardous substances at a facility in Whittier,
California. The Company, in June 1995, agreed to join a group of other PRPs to
remove contamination from the site. Although the final outcome is not known and
depends on final clean-up costs and the allocation scheme, the group currently
estimates a total clean-up cost of about $1.8 million to $2.5 million, of which
about $6,000 to $9,000 might be requested to be borne by the Company.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1995, the Company employed approximately 3,310 people, of
whom approximately 2,190 are employed in North America, 1,070 in Western Europe
and 50 in Asia. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining
agreements. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's operations occupy a total of approximately 889,000 square
feet, of which approximately 502,000 square feet are located within the United
States. Of the worldwide total, approximately 268,000 square feet are leased and
the balance is owned by the Company.
IR's leases expire between 1995 and 2012. If the Company is unable to renew
these leases upon expiration, it believes that it could find other suitable
premises without any material adverse impact on its operations.
The Company's major facilities are in the following locations:

(1) In May 1995 the Company purchased land in Tijuana, Mexico on which it
intends to construct a new assembly facility. Since the Company's lease on
its current assembly facility in Mexico expired, it has rented the same
space on a month to month basis. The Company has identified comparable
space available for lease on comparable terms if such assembly facility
needs to be moved prior to completion of the new facility.
The Company believes that these facilities are adequate for its current and
anticipated near term operating needs. IR estimates that it currently utilizes
approximately 81.4% of its worldwide manufacturing capacity. To meet rising
demand for power MOSFETs, the Company is expanding wafer fabrication at HEXFET
America. Planned to be in production by the end of calendar 1995, the Company
believes that the estimated $75 million expansion will increase the Company's
wafer capacity in power MOSFETs by about 75%.
The Company has nine sales offices located throughout the United States, and
other sales and technical support offices in Canada, France, Germany, Finland,
Scandinavia, Russia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Korea,
Singapore, and India which operate in leased facilities.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, Inc. ("SGS") are engaged in
various legal proceedings relating to their respective power MOSFET patents. SGS
filed suit against the Company in June 1991 in Federal District Court in Texas,
charging infringement of U.S. patent 4,553,314. On motion by the Company, the
suit was transferred to the Federal District Court in Los Angeles, California,
and thereafter SGS amended its complaint to charge infringement of U.S. patents
8
4,495,513 and 4,712,127. SGS alleges, in substance, that the Company's power
MOSFET, power IC and IGBT products infringe the '314 patent, that the Company's
IGBT products infringe the '513 patent and that certain packages for the
Company's products (including certain power MOSFET packages) infringe the '127
patent. The complaint, as amended, seeks unspecified actual damages (but no less
than an unspecified reasonable royalty) and an injunction restraining further
sales of such products. On February 1, 1993, the District Court dismissed SGS's
claims for infringement of the '127 and '513 patents for lack of standing and on
March 15, 1993, ruled that the SGS '314 patent is unenforceable due to
inequitable conduct. SGS appealed these rulings, as well as the order
transferring the case to California, to the Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit. The Company cross-appealed a separate ruling by the District Court
denying the Company's motion for summary judgment that the '314 patent is
invalid. In July 1994, the Federal Circuit vacated the District Court's grants
of summary judgment as to the '513, '127 and '314 patents and affirmed the
District Court's denial of the Company's motion for summary judgment of
invalidity of the '314 patent. The Federal Circuit ordered, however, that the
case should proceed in California. A trial date of November 14, 1995 has been
set for the '513 patent, but proceedings on the '314 and '127 patents are
essentially stayed pending completion of reexamination of these patents in the
PTO.
In separate proceedings before the same California District Court, the
Company sought enforcement of a prior license agreement between the Company and
SGS. The Court in July 1994, granted the Company's motions to enforce the
license agreement with SGS, requiring SGS to pay additional past and prospective
royalties under the Company's U.S. patents 4,959,699 and 4,642,666 on SGS's
sales of power MOSFET, IGBT and power IC products. SGS appealed this decision to
the Federal Circuit, which on May 10, 1995 affirmed the decision in favor of the
Company. SGS subsequently made the required past royalty payment.
The Company has also filed a separate action in the same District Court
against SGS and its Italian affiliate, SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, S.r.l.,
seeking an injunction against infringement of the Company's U.S. patents
5,008,725 and 5,130,767. This action has been essentially stayed pending
completion of reexamination of these patents by the PTO.
The Company, its directors and certain officers have been named as
defendants in three class action lawsuits filed in Federal Court in California.
These suits seek unspecified but substantial compensatory and punitive damages
for alleged intentional and negligent misrepresentations and violations of the
federal securities laws. The complaints generally allege that the Company and
the other defendants made materially false statements or omitted to state
material facts in connection with the public offering of the Company's common
stock completed in April 1991 and the redemption and conversion in June 1991 of
the Company's 9% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2010. They also allege
that the Company's projections for growth in fiscal 1992 were materially
misleading. Although the Company believes that the claims alleged in the suits
are without merit, the ultimate outcome cannot be presently determined. A
substantial judgment or settlement, if any, could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Two of these
suits also name Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated and Montgomery Securities as
defendants. The Court has scheduled trial to begin in December 1995.
No provision for any liability that may result upon adjudication of these
matters has been made in the consolidated financial statements.

1995 COMPARED WITH 1994
Revenues for fiscal 1995 increased 30.4% to $429.0 million from $328.9
million in the prior year. The Company's revenue increase reflected continued
growing demand for the Company's power MOSFET and related devices which resulted
in a 34% increase in revenues from these products. Revenues from the thyristor
and rectifier product lines increased 17% from the prior period. Changes in
foreign exchange rates positively impacted revenues by approximately $11.1
million. Revenues for fiscal 1995 also included $9.7 million of net patent
royalties compared to $9.0 million in the prior period.
Gross profit was 35.2% of revenues ($150.8 million) in fiscal 1995 versus
33.1% of revenues ($108.9 million) in fiscal 1994. The increased margin
reflected greater manufacturing volume and efficiencies and a greater
contribution from new higher margin products.
In fiscal 1995, selling and administrative expense was 19.2% of revenues
($82.3 million) versus 21.0% of revenues ($69.0 million) in fiscal 1994. The
decreased percentage reflects the Company's continued commitment to reducing
operating expenses as a percentage of revenues.
In fiscal 1995, the Company's research and development expenditures
increased $3.7 million to $20.1 million (4.7% of revenues) from $16.4 million
(5.0% of revenues) in the prior period. The Company's research and development
program was focused on the advancement and diversification of the HEXFET product
line and expansion of the related IGBT products, the development of High Voltage
Control ICs and power products that work in combination with HEXFETs and IGBTs
to improve system performance.
The major components of other expense include a $1.0 million charge for the
transfer of assembly operations to the Company's Mexican subsidiary, $0.3
million of severance costs, $0.3 million on the disposal of property, plant and
equipment, $0.3 million of local taxes and $0.5 million in legal fees, offset by
$0.3 million in foreign currency transaction gains and $1.8 million of net
patent royalty revenues related to prior years.
In fiscal 1995, net interest expense decreased by $3.2 million from the
prior year. The decrease was due to approximately $2.4 million in interest
income earned in the current year on funds received
13
from a November 1994 offering of the Company's common stock and an increase of
$1.7 million of interest capitalized in the current year, partially offset by
increased interest expense in the first half of the year on higher average debt
balances over the prior year.
1994 COMPARED WITH 1993
The Company operates on a fiscal calendar under which the twelve months
ended July 3, 1994 consisted of 52 weeks compared to 53 weeks in the twelve
months ended July 4, 1993.
Revenues for fiscal 1994 increased 16.7% to $328.9 million from $281.7
million in the prior year. The Company's revenue increase reflected continued
growing demand for the Company's power MOSFET and related devices which resulted
in a 23.4% increase in revenues from these products. Offsetting this revenue
increase was a 6.2% decrease in revenues from the Company's thyristor and
rectifier product lines. This downturn reflected slow starting economies in key
European markets in the first half, and the pruning of these mature product
lines. Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted revenues by
approximately $2.0 million. Revenues for fiscal 1994 also included $9.0 million
of net patent royalties compared to $9.5 million in the prior period.
Gross profit was 33.1% of revenues ($108.9 million) in fiscal 1994 versus
28.1% of revenues ($79.0 million) in fiscal 1993. The increased margin reflected
IR's recovery from production constraints in fiscal 1993. In addition, greater
MOSFET manufacturing volume and efficiencies resulted in lower per unit product
costs and enabled the Company to balance output to market demand and return to a
normal mix of original equipment manufacturers, distribution and higher margin
spot market business.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993 the Company extended the useful lives
of certain assets. This change positively impacted gross profit by approximately
$2.6 million (0.8% of revenues) during fiscal 1994.
In fiscal 1994, selling and administrative expense was 21.0% of revenues
($69.0 million) versus 22.2% of revenues ($62.6 million) in fiscal 1993. The
decreased percentage reflects the Company's continued commitment to reducing
operating expenses as a percentage of revenues.
In fiscal 1994, the Company's research and development expenditures
increased $2.3 million to $16.4 million (5.0% of revenues) from $14.1 million
(5.0% of revenues) in the prior period. The Company's research and development
program was focused on the advancement and diversification of the HEXFET product
line and expansion of the related IGBT products, the development of Control ICs
and power products that work in combination with HEXFETs and IGBTs to improve
system performance. Included in 1994 research and development expenses are the
costs associated with an activity started in fiscal 1994, in Japan, where
efforts are directed at reducing assembly costs and developing new assembly
processes.
The major components of other expense include a $0.9 million charge for the
consolidation of the Company's power products operations, $0.4 million of
severance costs and $0.3 million on the disposal of property, plant and
equipment, offset by $0.4 million in foreign currency transaction gains.
SEASONALITY
The Company has experienced moderate seasonality in its business in recent
years. On average over the past three years, the Company has reported
approximately 47% of annual revenues in the first half and 53% in the second
half of its fiscal year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1995, the Company maintained cash and cash equivalent balances
of $50.8 million and $3.0 million of short term investments. In addition, the
Company had established $78.5 million of domestic and foreign revolving lines of
credit, against which $17.3 million had been borrowed. Based on covenant and
collateral limitations, the Company had $51.7 million available for borrowing
against these lines at June 30, 1995. Additionally, the Company had at its
disposal $25.0 million of unused
14
bank term-loan facilities and $23.8 million of unused credit lines for capital
equipment financing. At June 30, 1995, the Company had made purchase commitments
for capital equipment of approximately $24.9 million.
During fiscal 1996 the Company plans to spend approximately $75 million on
capital expenditures for the continuing expansion of its global wafer
fabrication and assembly capacity. The Company intends to fund these capital
expenditure and working capital requirements through cash and cash equivalents
on hand, anticipated cash flow from operations, and as needed, from funds
available from revolving credit, term loan and equipment financing facilities.
The Company may also consider the use of funds from other external sources,
including, but not limited to, public or private offerings of debt or equity.
Although the Company believes that the class action lawsuits brought against
the Company and its Board of Directors (See "Legal Proceedings") are without
merit, the ultimate outcome thereof cannot be presently determined. Accordingly,
the Company has not made any provision for any liability, if any, that may
result upon adjudication of these matters. For the possible effects of
environmental matters on liquidity, see "Business -- Environmental Matters".
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Due to the global nature of its operations, the Company is subject to the
effect of international currency fluctuations. In fiscal year 1995, over 50% of
the Company's revenues were derived from sales in foreign markets. In the years
ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, foreign currency fluctuations did not
significantly impact net income, the Company recognized net foreign currency
transactions gains of $347,000, $376,000 and $129,000, respectively.
The Company may manage potential foreign currency exposure by entering into
forward exchange contracts and options. These contracts are generally not
speculative in nature as the resulting gains or losses generally offset any
losses or gains on the underlying hedged transactions. Cash in excess of
operating requirements is maintained in the United States.
INCOME TAXES
Due in part to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"),
the Company's effective income tax rate in fiscal 1995 was approximately 17%. At
June 30, 1995, the Company had fully utilized its NOL's for federal income tax
purposes. The Company also has approximately $4.9 million of tax credits
available to offset future U.S. taxes and approximately $1 million to offset
future state taxes. When available tax credits are fully utilized, the Company
will be subject to an estimated annual tax rate in the range of 35% to 40%.

assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of International
Rectifier Corporation and Subsidiaries at June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be included therein.
As discussed in Note 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, three class action lawsuits have been filed against the Company and
its Board of Directors (certain of whom are also officers). The ultimate outcome
thereof cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provisions for any
liability that may result upon adjudication of these matters has been made in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all its majority-owned subsidiaries which are located in Europe, Mexico,
Canada, the Far East and South East Asia. All material intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.
FISCAL YEAR
Fiscal years 1995 and 1994 consist of 52 weeks ending July 2 and July 3,
respectively. Fiscal year 1993 consists of 53 weeks ending July 4. For
convenience, all references herein to fiscal years are to fiscal years ended
June 30.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenues from product sales to all customers,
including distributors, at the time of shipment.
SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS
The Company's short term investments consist of investment grade money
market instruments and government securities. All of the Company's investments
have original maturities of less than one year. In accordance with the criteria
established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", all investments have
been classified as "available-for-sale". The Company utilizes the specific
identification method for determining the cost of the investments. At June 30,
1995 the cost of the investments approximates the market value.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally first-in,
first-out) or market. Inventories at June 30, 1995 and 1994 were comprised of
the following (000's):
1995 1994
--------- ---------
Raw materials.......................................................... $ 19,974 $ 15,118
Work-in-process........................................................ 32,967 26,965
Finished goods......................................................... 20,214 31,346
--------- ---------
$ 73,155 $ 73,429
--------- ---------
--------- ---------
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Upon retirement or other
disposal, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is included in income.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method, based on the estimated
useful lives of the assets, or the units of production method based upon the
estimated output of
22

the equipment. Depreciation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995,
1994, and 1993 was $21,819,000, $15,880,000, and $14,160,000, respectively.
Property, plant and equipment at June 30, 1995 and 1994 was comprised of the
following (000's):
1995 1994
------------ -----------
Buildings and improvements......................................... $ 73,027 $ 72,004
Equipment.......................................................... 210,934 169,988

Depreciation of improvements to leased premises is provided on the
straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or
estimated useful lives of the improvements. Capital leases included in property,
plant and equipment at June 30, 1995 and 1994 are as follows (000's):
1995 1994
---------- ----------
Equipment............................................................ $ 62,751 $ 62,533

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense. In the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, repairs and maintenance costs were $11,977,000,
$8,144,000 and $7,721,000 respectively.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The financial position and results of operations of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency.
Foreign assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet have been
translated at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenues and
expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Unrealized
translation adjustments do not affect the results of operations and are reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity. In fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993,
the Company recognized foreign currency transaction gains of $347,000, $376,000,
and $129,000, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the difference between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates
in effect during the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax
payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets
and liabilities.
U.S. income taxes have not been provided on approximately $18,875,000 of
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries since management considers these
earnings to be invested indefinitely or substantially offset by foreign tax
credits.
23
INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average
number of common and common stock equivalents outstanding. Stock options
outstanding under stock option plans are considered common stock equivalents.
Common stock equivalents for stock options of 243,056 and 112,700 were utilized
in the computation of earnings per share in 1995 and 1994, respectively. No
common stock equivalents for stock options were used in 1993 as the impact would
have been anti-dilutive.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Patent costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of
the related patent.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
The Company invests excess cash from operations in investment grade money
market instruments. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. Components in the changes in working capital are comprised of the
following (000's):
1995 1994 1993
---------- ---------- ---------
Trade accounts receivable, net............................ $ (23,938) $ (11,701) $ (2,871)

Non cash financing activity:
Assets acquired through capital leases...................... 792 12,675 4,275
Included in assets acquired through capital leases in 1994 is $7.2 million
in existing operating leases that were renegotiated to capital leases.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality
financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of insured
limits.
The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and generally does not require collateral. Receivables on average are
due in 60 days. Credit losses have consistently been within management's
expectations.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company operates internationally, giving rise to exposure to market
risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into forward
foreign exchange contracts and foreign
24
INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
currency options to hedge certain foreign currency denominated receivables and
payables from its foreign subsidiaries. The related gains and losses on these
contracts are included in "Other income (expense)". The Company does not hold or
issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
Forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 1995 had
maturities of less than six months and were denominated in Japanese Yen and
British Pound Sterling. Counterparties to the transactions were large financial
institutions. At June 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $11.1 million
outstanding in forward foreign exchange contracts and had no outstanding foreign
currency options.
RECLASSIFICATION
Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to
conform with the current year presentation.
2. LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER LOANS
In February 1995, the Company modified its existing $25 million unsecured
credit facility from Sanwa Bank California ("Sanwa Facility"). The modified
facility was increased to $30 million, consisting of a $5 million revolving line
of credit and a $25 million term loan facility. In March 1995, the Company
increased its existing unsecured revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. ("Wells Facility") from $10 million to $25 million. In June 1995, the
Company established an additional unsecured revolving line of credit of $10
million with Nationsbank of Texas, N.A. ("Nationsbank Facility"). Interest rates
for loans under the Sanwa Facility and Wells Facility are at prime, or the banks
cost of funds plus 1.00%, or LIBOR plus 1.00%, while the interest rates for
loans under the Nationsbank Facility are at Prime or LIBOR plus 1.00% (at the
Company's option). The Wells Facility and Sanwa Facility, which expire on
October 31, 1996, and the Nationsbank Facility, which expires on June 14, 1996,
contain the same financial covenants and ratios which affect the availability of
funds, and prohibit the Company from paying cash dividends. At June 30, 1995,
there were no outstanding borrowings under these three facilities.
In February 1995, as part of the modified credit facility with Sanwa Bank
California, described above, the Company may draw down up to $25 million prior
to December 31, 1995 on its $25 million unsecured term loan facility ("Sanwa
Term Facility"). Interest rates for such loans are at prime, or LIBOR plus
1.00%, or the bank's fixed rate (at the Company's option). Principal repayments
on loans under the Sanwa Term Facility are required to be made in equal
quarterly installments from March 31, 1998 through December 31, 2001. This
facility contains the same financial covenants and ratios as contained in the
three unsecured revolving credit facilities mentioned above. At June 30, 1995,
no borrowings were outstanding under this facility.
The Company also had an additional $38.5 million of revolving credit
facilities at foreign locations. The interest rate on borrowings from these
facilities ranged from 2.4% to 11.0% at June 30, 1995. Under the terms of the
agreements, the availability of funds is impacted by various financial covenants
and collateral requirements. At June 30, 1995, there was $17.3 million
outstanding under these foreign credit facilities, and the weighted average
interest rate was 5.9%. The weighted average interest rate for short term
borrowings during fiscal year 1995 was also 5.9%.
Based on covenant and collateral limitations under the above credit
facilities, the Company had $51.7 million available for borrowing at June 30,
1995.

$7,901,000; 1999 $4,405,000; 2000 $2,220,000; and $1,139,000 thereafter.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107
"Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the fair values of the
Company's long-term debt has been estimated based on current rates offered to
the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of
the Company's loans approximate their fair values.
3. CAPITAL STOCK
The Company has an employee stock purchase plan. Under this plan employees
are allowed to designate between two and ten percent of their base compensation
to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at 85 percent of fair market
value. In November 1993, the stock purchase plan was amended to cover an
additional 1,000,000 shares. During fiscal 1995 and 1994, 74,032 and 69,065
shares were purchased at an aggregate purchase price of $915,000 and $723,000,
respectively. Shares authorized under this plan that remained unissued were
980,971 and 1,055,003 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company has three stock option plans, the 1979, 1984, and 1992 Plans, as
amended. Under these plans, options to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock are issued to key employees as well as members of the Company's Board of
Directors. Options are issued at 100% of the fair value of the Company's common
stock at the date of grant and become exercisable in annual installments of 20%,
beginning on the first anniversary date. The 1992 plan provides for the increase
in options available for grant under the plan by 1 1/2% of total common stock
outstanding on January 1 of each year. On January 1, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
374,211, 304,503 and 300,061 options, respectively, were added to the plan.
During fiscal year 1995, 8,150 shares expired under the 1979 and 1984 plans.

5. INCOME TAXES
Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary
differences and net operating loss ("NOL") and tax credit carryforwards. Under
SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are established based on enacted tax rates
expected to be in effect when temporary differences are scheduled to reverse and
NOL and tax credit carryforwards are expected to be utilized. Adoption of SFAS
No. 109 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results from operations. Prior year's financial statements have not been
restated.
The major components of the net deferred tax asset (liability) as of June
30, 1995 and June 30, 1994 are as follows (000's):

5. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
Deferred taxes result primarily from temporary differences relating to
depreciation, financial statement reserves, and state taxes.
The Company's effective tax rate on pretax income (loss) differs from the
U.S. Federal Statutory tax rate as follows:

During fiscal 1995, the Company fully utilized its $27.3 million of U.S.
federal income tax net operating loss carryovers. The estimated tax benefit
during fiscal 1995 from utilization of the net operating loss carryover was $9.7
million of which $2.3 million increased capital contributed in excess of par
value of shares due to the exercise of stock options.
At June 30, 1995, the Company has approximately $2.0 million, $1.7 million,
and $0.2 million, respectively, of investment, research and development, and
foreign tax credit carryforwards available to reduce income taxes otherwise
payable, which expire from 1996 to 2010. In addition, the Company has
approximately $1.0 million of alternative minimum tax credits, which can be
carried over indefinitely to offset regular tax liabilities to the extent of the
alternative minimum tax, and a $1.0 million state tax credit which expires in
2002.
6. PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has established defined contribution plans for all eligible
employees. The Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan provides for contributions by
the Company in such amounts as the Board of Directors may annually determine.
The Company has also established a voluntary Retirement Savings Plan (401K) to
which the Company makes an annual contribution of up to $600 for each
participating employee. Combined plan contributions totaled $1,027,000,
$841,000, and $511,000 for fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Federal, state and local laws and regulations impose various restrictions
and controls on the discharge of certain materials, chemicals and gases used in
semiconductor processing. The Company does not believe that compliance with such
laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on its financial
position.
The Company and Rachelle Laboratories, Inc. ("Rachelle"), its former
pharmaceutical subsidiary which discontinued operations in 1986, have been named
among several hundred entities as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") under
the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), in connection with the United States
Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") investigation of the disposal of
allegedly hazardous substances at a major superfund site in Monterey Park,
California (the "OII Site"). Certain PRPs who settled certain claims with the
EPA under consent decrees filed suit in Federal Court in May 1992
30
INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
7. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS (CONTINUED)
against a number of other PRPs, including the Company, for cost recovery and
contribution under CERCLA. The lawsuit against the Company, relating to the
first and second consent decrees, was settled in August 1993 for the sum of
$40,000 to avoid protracted and expensive litigation. In June 1995, the Company
was named among others as a party defendant in Federal Court apparently in
connection with a third consent decree with respect to the OII Site. The Company
recently received a letter (dated July 25, 1995) from the U.S. Department of
Justice offering to settle claims against Rachelle relating to the first three
elements of cleanup work at the OII Site for the sum of $4,953,148. (The final
remedy assessment has not yet been made). The letter stated that if the offer is
not accepted by September 1, 1995, enforcement action will follow. The
Department of Justice letter is being evaluated. Claims have been made with the
Company's insurers with respect to the OII Site matter; however, there can be no
assurance that insurance coverage attaches to these claims. The Company does not
believe that either it or Rachelle is responsible for the disposal at the OII
Site of any material constituting hazardous substances under CERCLA. Although
the ultimate resolution of this matter is unknown, the Company believes that it
will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position.
In May 1993, the Company purchased property from its Employee Profit Sharing
and Retirement Plan. It was determined that the property required clean-up of
seepage from a storage tank, at an estimated additional cost of $525,000. The
Company commenced the clean-up in fiscal year 1994 and through June 30, 1995
approximately $450,000 in clean-up costs have been incurred which will be
capitalized as additional costs of the property.
On July 18, 1994, the Company received a letter from the State of Washington
Department of Ecology (the "Department") notifying the Company of a proposed
finding that the Company is a potentially liable person ("PLP") for alleged PCE
contamination (also knows as perchloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and other
names) of real property and groundwater in Yakima County, Washington. The letter
alleges that the Company arranged for disposal or treatment of the PCE or
arranged with a transporter for the disposal or treatment of the PCE in Yakima
County. The Company replied by a letter dated August 11, 1994, stating that it
has not contributed to PCE or other solvent contamination at the Yakima County
site (resulting from sending carbon canisters for regeneration to a facility in
the county) and that it should not be designated a PLP. On October 11, 1994, the
Company received a letter from the Department notifying the Company of its
finding that the Company is a PLP in the above matter. Initial information
indicates that less than one percent of all contaminated carbon sent to the site
by PLPs was contributed by the Company. What amount, if any, the Company may be
asked to contribute to solve the groundwater problem is unknown.
The Company received a letter dated September 9, 1994, from the State of
California Department of Toxic Substances Control stating that the Company may
be a PRP for the deposit of hazardous substances at a facility in Whittier,
California. The Company, in June 1995, agreed to join a group of other PRPs to
remove contamination from the site. Although the final outcome is not known and
depends on final clean-up costs and the allocation scheme, the group currently
estimates a total clean-up cost of about $1.8 million to $2.5 million, of which
about $6,000 to $9,000 might be requested to be borne by the Company.

respectively.
9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Certain of the Company's fundamental power MOSFET patents have been
subjected, and continue to be subjected, to reexamination in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO"). The patents subject to reexamination are
fundamental to the Company's MOS transistors and their loss would allow
competitors to use currently patented features of the Company's MOS transistor
technology without liability for infringement of those patents. On the following
dates, the PTO granted requests for reexamination of the following patents of
the Company: November 13, 1992 and September 12, 1994 on patent 4,642,666;
September 12, 1994 on patent 4,959,699; September 23, 1994 and June 28, 1995 on
patent 5,008,725; January 17, 1995 on patent 5,130,767; June 5, 1995 on patent
5,191,396; and June 14, 1995 on patent 4,593,302. On February 14, 1995, the PTO
issued a reexamination certificate, confirming the patentability of the
Company's U.S. patent 4,705,759.
10. LITIGATION
The Company and SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, Inc. ("SGS") are engaged in
various legal proceedings relating to their respective power MOSFET patents. SGS
filed suit against the Company in June 1991 in Federal District Court in Texas,
charging infringement of U.S. patent 4,553,314. On motion by the Company, the
suit was transferred to the Federal District Court in Los Angeles, California,
and thereafter SGS amended its complaint to charge infringement of U.S. patents
4,495,513 and 4,712,127. SGS alleges, in substance, that the Company's power
MOSFET, power IC and IGBT products infringe the '314 patent, that the Company's
IGBT products infringe the '513 patent and that certain packages for the
Company's products (including certain power MOSFET packages) infringe the '127
patent. The complaint, as amended, seeks unspecified actual damages (but no less
than an unspecified reasonable royalty) and an injunction restraining further
sales of such products. On February 1, 1993, the District Court dismissed SGS's
claims for infringement of the '127 and '513 patents for lack of standing and on
March 15, 1993, ruled that the SGS '314 patent is unenforceable due to
inequitable conduct. SGS appealed these rulings, as well as the order
transferring the case to California, to the Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit. The Company cross-appealed a separate ruling by the District Court
denying the Company's motion for summary judgment that the '314 patent is
invalid. In July 1994, the Federal Circuit vacated the District Court's grants
of summary judgment as to the '513, '127 and '314 patents and affirmed the
District Court's denial of the Company's motion for summary judgment of
invalidity of the '314 patent. The Federal
32
INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
10. LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
Circuit ordered, however, that the case should proceed in California. A trial
date of November 14, 1995 has been set for the '513 patent, but proceedings on
the '314 and '127 patents are essentially stayed pending completion of
reexamination of these patents in the PTO.
In separate proceedings before the same California District Court, the
Company sought enforcement of a prior license agreement between the Company and
SGS. The Court in July 1994, granted the Company's motions to enforce the
license agreement with SGS, requiring SGS to pay additional past and prospective
royalties under the Company's U.S. patents 4,959,699 and 4,642,666 on SGS's
sales of power MOSFET, IGBT and power IC products. SGS appealed this decision to
the Federal Circuit, which on May 10, 1995 affirmed the decision in favor of the
Company. SGS subsequently made the required past royalty payment.
The Company has also filed a separate action in the same District Court
against SGS and its Italian affiliate, SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, S.r.l.,
seeking an injunction against infringement of the Company's U.S. patents
5,008,725 and 5,130,767. This action has been essentially stayed pending
completion of reexamination of these patents by the PTO.
The Company, its directors and certain officers have been named as
defendants in three class action lawsuits filed in Federal Court in California.
These suits seek unspecified but substantial compensatory and punitive damages
for alleged intentional and negligent misrepresentations and violations of the
federal securities laws. The complaints generally allege that the Company and
the other defendants made materially false statements or omitted to state
material facts in connection with the public offering of the company's common
stock completed in April 1991 and the redemption and conversion in June 1991 of
the Company's 9% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2010. They also allege
that the Company's projections for growth in fiscal 1992 were materially
misleading. Although the Company believes that the claims alleged in the suits
are without merit, the ultimate outcome cannot be presently determined. A
substantial judgment or settlement, if any, could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Two of these
suits also name Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated and Montgomery Securities as
defendants. The Court has scheduled trial to begin in December 1995.
No provision for any liability that may result upon adjudication of these
matters has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company is currently involved in litigation arising in the normal course
of business. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this
litigation will have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the
Company (also see Notes 7 and 9).
11. EXECUTIVE AGREEMENT
The Company entered into an executive agreement with Eric Lidow dated May
15, 1991 providing for his continued employment with the Company for a six year
period as Chief Executive Officer and President or in such other position as the
Board of Directors may determine. Mr. Lidow's salary at fiscal year end under
this agreement was $632,500. Upon Mr. Lidow's retirement from the Company (or a
change in control) he will receive annual payments (Founder's Pension) of 90% of
his then current salary. The agreement was amended on April 12, 1995 to provide
that upon retirement Mr. Lidow's pension would be based, in addition to his
salary, on the average of the prior three years' cash bonuses, if any. The
pension would further be adjusted annually to account for any increase in the
Consumer Price Index. Upon Mr. Lidow's death, payments will be continued to his
wife, if she survives
33

him, in an amount equal to two-thirds of his retirement benefits for the
remainder of her life. Under the terms of the Founder's Pension, $1,068,000,
$572,000, and $572,000, have been expensed in fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.

$25,000,000 (the "Term Loan").
A. PURPOSE. Proceeds from the Term Loan shall be used to
finance acquisition of assets.
B. TERM LOAN ACCOUNT. The Bank shall maintain on its books a
record of account in which the Bank shall make entries setting forth all
payments made, the application of such payments to interest and principal,
accrued and unpaid interest (if any) and the outstanding principal balance under
the Term Loan (the "Term Loan Account"). The Bank shall provide the Borrower
with a monthly statement of the Borrower's Term Loan Account, which statement
shall be considered to be correct and conclusively binding on the Borrower
unless the Borrower notifies the Bank to the contrary within 30 days after the
Borrower's receipt of any such statement which it deems to be incorrect.
C. INTEREST. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding
principal balance or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the
Term Loan at one of the following rates as elected by Borrower:
(a) VARIABLE RATE BALANCES. The outstanding principal
balance of the Term Loan ("Term Balance") shall bear interest at a rate equal to
Bank's Reference Rate per annum, as it may change from time to time ("Variable
Rate"). The rate of interest shall be adjusted concurrently with any change in
Bank's Reference Rate. The Term Balance bearing interest at the Variable Rate
is hereinafter referred to as "Variable Rate Balances".
(b) FIXED RATE BALANCES. A fixed rate for such period
of time that the Bank may quote and offer in its sole discretion from time to
time (the "Fixed Rate"), provided that any such period of time shall be for at
least 7 days and provided further that any such period of time does not extend
beyond the maturity date of the Term Loan (the "Fixed Rate Interest Period") The
Bank shall provide the Borrower with a statement of the Borrower's Fixed Rate,
which statement shall be considered to be correct and conclusively binding on
the Borrower unless the Borrower notifies the Bank to the contrary within 30
days after the Borrower's receipt of any such statement which it deems to be
incorrect. The Term Balance bearing interest at the Fixed Rate is hereinafter
referred to as "Fixed Rate Balances".
(c) EURODOLLAR BALANCES. A fixed rate quoted by the
Bank for a minimum of 30 days or for such other period of time that the Bank may
quote and offer [the "Eurodollar Interest Period"] for Term Balances in the
minimum amount of $100,000.00. Such interest rate shall be a percentage
equivalent to 1.00% per annum in excess of the Bank's Eurodollar Rate which is
that rate determined by the Bank's Treasury Desk as being the approximate rate
at which the Bank could purchase offshore U.S. dollar deposits in an amount
approximately equal to the amount of the relevant Term Balance and for a period
of time approximately equal to the relevant Eurodollar Interest Period (adjusted
for any and all assessments, surcharges and reserve requirements pertaining to
the purchase by the Bank of such U.S. dollar deposits) [the "Eurodollar Rate"].
Term Balances based upon the Eurodollar Rate is hereinafter referred to as the
"Eurodollar Balances".
Borrower hereby promises and agrees to pay interest on any
Variable Rate Balances monthly in arrears on the first calendar day of each
month.
-2-
Interest on any Eurodollar Balance or any Fixed Rate Balance with
a Eurodollar Interest Period or a Fixed Rate Interest Period (hereinafter
referred to as an "Interest Period") of 93 or less days shall be paid on the
last day of the relevant Eurodollar Interest Period or Fixed Rate Interest
Period pertaining to such Eurodollar Balance or Fixed Rate Balance. Interest on
any Eurodollar Balance or Fixed Rate Balance with an Eurodollar Interest Period
or Fixed Rate Interest Period in excess of 93 days shall be paid quarterly
(i.e., on the last day of each 3 month period occurring in such Interest Period)
and on the last day of the relevant Eurodollar Interest Period or Fixed Rate
Interest Period pertaining to such Eurodollar Balance or Fixed Rate Balance.
Interest shall be calculated on a year of 360 days for actual
days elapsed.
(d) NOTICE OF ELECTION TO ADJUST INTEREST RATE. Upon
telephonic notice which shall be received by the Bank at or before 2:00 p.m.
(California time) on a business day, the Borrower may elect:
(1) The interest on a Variable Rate Balance
shall be adjusted to accrue at the Fixed Rate or the Eurodollar Rate; provided,
however, that such notice shall be received by the Bank no later than two
business days prior to the day (which shall be a business day) on which Borrower
requests that interest be adjusted to accrue at the Fixed Rate or Eurodollar
Rate.
(2) That interest on a Fixed Rate Balance or
Eurodollar Balance shall continue to accrue at a newly quoted Fixed Rate or
Eurodollar Rate as the case may be or shall be adjusted to commence to accrue at
the Variable Rate; provided, however that such notice shall be received by the
Bank no later than two business days prior to the last day of the Interest
Period or Eurodollar Interest Period pertaining to such Fixed Rate Balance or
Eurodollar Balance. If the Bank shall not have received notice as prescribed
herein of Borrower's election that interest on any Fixed Rate Balance or
Eurodollar Balance shall continue to accrue at the Fixed Rate or Eurodollar Rate
as the case may be, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that interest
thereon shall be adjusted to accrue at the Variable Rate upon the expiration of
the Interest Period pertaining to such Term Balance.
(e) PREPAYMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Agreement, no prepayment shall be made on any Fixed Rate Balance
or Eurodollar Balance except on a day which is the last day of the relevant
Interest Period or Eurodollar Interest Period pertaining thereto. If the whole
or any part of any Fixed Rate Balance or Eurodollar Balance is prepaid by reason
of acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall upon the Bank's request,
promptly pay to and indemnify the Bank for all costs and any loss (including
interest) actually incurred by the Bank and any loss (excluding loss of profit
resulting from the re-employment of funds) sustained by the Bank as a
consequence of such prepayment. Any prepayment shall first be applied to pay
accrued interest, then be applied to reduce the principal balance payable on the
date set forth in numbered paragraph 3 hereinbelow, and the remaining portion
(if any) of such prepayment shall then be applied to pay the principal
installment(s) of latest maturity under this Term Loan.
(f) INDEMNIFICATION FOR FIXED RATE AND EURODOLLAR RATE
COSTS. During any period of time in which interest on any Term Balance is
accruing on the basis of the Fixed Rate or Eurodollar Rate, the Borrower shall,
upon the Bank's written request, which request shall explain in reasonable
detail the reason for such costs or payments, promptly pay to and reimburse the
Bank for all costs incurred and payments made by the Bank by reason of any
future assessment, reserve, deposit or similar requirements or any surcharge,
tax or fee imposed upon the Bank or as a result of the Bank's compliance with
any directive or requirement of any regulatory authority pertaining or relating
to funds used by the Bank in quoting and determining the Fixed Rate or
Eurodollar Rate.
(g) CONVERSION FROM FIXED RATE OR EURODOLLAR RATE TO
VARIABLE RATE. In the event that the Bank shall at any time determine that the
accrual of interest on the basis of the Fixed Rate or Eurodollar Rate (i) is
infeasible because the Bank is unable to determine the Fixed Rate or Eurodollar
Rate due to the unavailability of U.S. dollar deposits, contracts or
certificates of deposit in an amount approximately equal to the amount of the
relevant Balance and for a period of time approximately equal to the relevant
Interest Period; or (ii) is or has become unlawful or infeasible by reason of
the Bank's compliance with any new law, rule, regulation, guideline or order, or
any new interpretation of any present law, rule, regulation, guideline or order,
then the Bank shall give telephonic notice thereof (confirmed in writing) to the
Borrower, in which event any Fixed Rate Balance or Eurodollar Balance shall be
deemed to be a Variable Rate Balance and interest shall thereupon immediately
accrue at the Variable Rate.

D. PRINCIPAL. The Borrower hereby promises and agrees to pay
the outstanding principal of the Term Loan as of December 31, 1995, in 15 equal
installments of 1/16th of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan as
of December 31, 1995, commencing on March 31, 1998, and continuing on the last
day of each calendar quarter thereafter up to and including September 30, 2001.
On December 31, 2001, the Borrower hereby promises and agrees to pay to the Bank
the entire unpaid principal balance, together with accrued and unpaid interest.
Each payment received by the Bank shall be applied to pay interest
then due and unpaid and the remainder thereof (if any) shall be applied to pay
principal.
E. ACCOUNT DEBIT. Upon prior notice to the Borrower from the
Bank, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank, if and to the extent payment owed
to the Bank under the Term Loan is not made when due, after giving effect to any
grace period, to charge, from time to time, against any or all of the Borrower's
deposit accounts with the Bank any amount so due.
F. COMMITMENT FEE. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank a commitment
fee during the Drawdown Period of .25% per annum on the undrawn portion of the
Term Loan, payable quarterly in arrears and computed on a year of 360 days for

2.02 LIMITATIONS.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Borrower shall not be required to make any payment to the Bank with respect to
any indemnity required pursuant to Sections 2.01 C.(f) ("Affected Section")
unless Bank shall have given notice to Borrower promptly upon the Rosemead
Commercial Banking Center of Bank, or its equivalent successor, becoming aware
of any circumstance requiring the Borrower to make any payment under an Affected
Section;
(b) The Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of any
amounts payable under any Affected Section to the extent determined to be as a
result of the Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(c) The Bank shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with
its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to take any action if
the taking of such action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any
additional amounts payable under any Affected Section or not require the
prepayment of a Fixed Rate Advance and would not, in the reasonable judgment of
the Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Bank.

upward to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16 of 1% per annum, if such
average is not such a multiple) of the per annum rates at which
deposits in U.S. dollars are offered to NationsBank of Georgia, N.A.
in the London interbank Eurodollar market at 11:00 A.M. (Atlanta,
Georgia time) (or as soon thereafter as is practicable), in each case
two Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period in an

(b) a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Reserve
Requirement for such Interest Period.
(6) "INTEREST PERIOD," as to any Floating Rate Loan, means the
period commencing on the Closing Date of such Floating Rate Loan and
ending on but excluding the corresponding day in the third succeeding
calendar month; PROVIDED, that each subsequent Interest Period shall
commence on the last day of the previous one;
(7) "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE" as to any Floating Rate Loan, means
the last day of the Interest Period. If any Interest Payment Date
falls on a date which is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment
Date shall be deemed to be the next succeeding Business Day;
(8) "PRIME LOAN" means a loan based on the Prime Rate;
(9) "PRIME RATE" means the rate of interest publicly announced
by NationsBank of North Carolina, N.A. in Charlotte, North Carolina
from time to time as its "Prime Rate." The Prime Rate is not
necessarily the best or lowest rate of interest offered by NationsBank
of North Carolina, N.A.
- 3 -
(b) NOTICE. As to each Floating Rate Loan, the Debtor shall give
Secured Party prior written, telegraphic or telephonic notice (i) not later
than 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) at least three Business
Days prior to the date of the requested Floating Rate Loan. Such notice
shall be irrevocable.
(c) INTEREST RATE OPTIONS. Floating Rate Loans shall bear interest
at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 1.60% for
three and five year loans and the LIBOR Rate plus 1.95% for seven year
loans.
Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date. Secured
Party shall determine the applicable LIBOR Rate on the date when such
determination is to be made in respect of such Interest Period (or as soon
thereafter as practicable) and shall notify the Debtor of the rate so
determined. Such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) MINIMUM AMOUNT. The minimum amount of each Floating Rate Loan
shall be $250,000.
(e) PREPAYMENTS. As set forth in Section 19 below, the Debtor shall
have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Floating
Rate Loan, on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such
Floating Rate Loan upon at least (30) days prior written notice to Secured
Party. If prepayment occurs during the first year of the loan, a
prepayment premium of 1% of the outstanding principal balance will be due
and payable.
(f) CONVERSION. Upon the occurrence of any of the events listed in
sections (g), (h) and (i) below, the Debtor, on such notice as provided in
Section (b), or the Secured Party shall have the right to convert any
Floating Rate Loan into a Prime Loan, subject to the following:
(1) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and the representations and warranties set out
in Section 18 shall be true and correct (except to the extent
such representations and warranties expressly relate to an
earlier date);
(2) Each conversion shall be effected by applying the
proceeds of the new Prime Loan to the Floating Rate Loan
being converted, and accrued interest on any Floating Rate
Loan being converted shall be paid by the Debtor at the
time of conversion;
(3) No Floating Rate Loan may be converted to a Prime Loan
except on the last day of an Interest Period;
(g) LIBOR RATE UNASCERTAINABLE. In the event that the Secured Party
shall determine that dollar deposits in the principal amount of any
requested
- 4 -
Floating Rate Loans are not generally available in the London Interbank
Market, or that the rate at which such dollar deposits are being offered
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank or the Secured
Party of making or maintaining a Floating Rate Loan, or that reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, the Secured Party shall
promptly give notice to the Debtor of such determination, and any request
by the Debtor for a Floating Rate Loan shall be deemed to be a request for
a Prime Loan. Until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, each request for a Floating Rate Loan shall be deemed to be a
request for a Prime Loan. All then existing Floating Rate Loans shall be
converted to Prime Rate Loans in accordance with Section (f) hereof.
Each determination by the Secured Party hereunder shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
(h) ADDITIONAL COSTS.
(1) The Debtor shall pay directly to the Secured Party
from time to time such amounts as the Secured Party may determine
to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by the
Secured Party or the Bank which the Secured Party determines are
attributable to its making or maintaining of any Floating Rate
Loans hereunder or its obligation to make any of such Floating
Rate Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable
by the Secured Party or the Bank hereunder in respect of any of
such Floating Rate Loans or such obligation; or resulting from
any Regulatory Change (such increase in costs and reductions in
amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs") which:
(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the
Secured Party under this Security Agreement or the Term Loan Note
in respect of any of such Floating Rate Loans (other than taxes
imposed on the overall net income of the Secured Party for any of
such Floating Rate Loans); or (ii) imposes or modifies any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or
liabilities of, the Secured Party or the Bank (including any
Floating Rate Loans or any deposits included in the definition of
"LIBOR Rate" herein); or (iii) imposes any other condition
affecting this Security Agreement (or any such extensions of
credit or liabilities). The Secured Party will notify the Debtor
of any event occurring after the date of this Security Agreement
which will entitle the Secured Party to compensation pursuant to
this Section as promptly as practicable after it obtains
knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation.
The Secured Party will furnish the Debtor with a certificate
setting forth the basis and amount of each request by the Secured
Party for compensation under this Section. If the Secured Party
requests compensation from the Debtor under this Section, the
Debtor may, by notice to the Secured Party, request that such
Floating Rate
- 5 -
Loans of the type with respect to which such compensation is
requested be converted into Prime Loans in accordance with
Section (f) hereof.
(2) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing
provisions of this Section, in the event that, by reason of any
Regulatory Change, the Secured Party or the Bank either (i)
incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above
a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or
other liabilities of the Secured Party or the Bank which includes
deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Floating Rate
Loans is determined as provided in this Security Agreement or a
category of extensions of credit or other assets of the Secured
Party or the Bank which includes Floating Rate Loans or (ii)
becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category
of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if the Secured
Party so elects by notice to the Debtor, the obligation of the
Secured Party to make Floating Rate Loans shall be suspended
until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (and
all Floating Rate Loans held by such Secured Party then
outstanding shall be converted into Prime Loans in accordance
with Section (f) hereof).
(3) Determinations by the Secured Party for purposes
of this Section of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its
costs of making or maintaining Floating Rate Loans or on amounts
receivable by it in respect of Floating Rate Loans, and of the
additional amounts required to compensate such Secured Party in
respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive, provided
that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis;
provided, however, that if such Regulatory Change or other
condition is determined to be invalid or inapplicable the Secured
Party will promptly refund any amount erroneously billed to the
Debtor together with interest thereon at the instrument rate.
(i) ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Security Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for the
Secured Party to (i) honor its obligation to make Floating Rate Loans
hereunder, or (ii) maintain Floating Rate Loans hereunder, then the
Secured Party shall promptly notify the Debtor thereof and the Secured
Party's obligation to make Floating Rate Loans shall be suspended
until such time as the Secured Party may again make and maintain
Floating Rate Loans and such Secured Party's outstanding Floating Rate
Loans shall be converted into Prime Rate Loans in accordance with
Section (f) hereof.
(j) CERTAIN CONVERSIONS OF LOANS. If the Floating Rate Loans of
a particular type (Floating Rate Loans of such type being herein
called "Affected Loans" and such type being herein called the
"Affected Type") are to
- 6 -
be converted pursuant to Sections (g), (h) and (i) hereof, the Secured
Party's Affected Loans shall be automatically converted into Prime
Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for
the Affected Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by
Section (h) or (i) hereof, on such earlier date as the Secured Party
may specify to the Debtor) and, unless and until such Secured Party
gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified which
give rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(1) to the extent that the Affected Loans have been so
converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would
otherwise be applied to the Affected Loans shall be applied
instead to Prime Loans;
(2) all Floating Rate Loans which would otherwise be made
as Floating Rate Loans of the Affected Type shall be made instead
as Prime Loans.
(k) COMPENSATION. The Debtor shall pay to the Secured Party,
upon request, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of the Secured Party) to compensate it for any
loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(1) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Floating
Rate Loan made by the Secured Party on a date other than the last
day of an Interest Period for such loan; or
(2) any failure by the Debtor to borrow a Floating Rate
Loan to be made on the date for such borrowing specified in the
relevant notice of borrowing made by the Debtor under Section (b)
hereof;
such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to
the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or converted or not
borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepaying or
conversion or failure to borrow on the last day of the then current
Interest Period for such Floating Rate Loan (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Floating Rate Loan
which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow) at
the applicable rate of interest for such Floating Rate Loan provided
for herein over (ii) any lesser amount that would be realized by the
Secured Party in reemploying funds received in payment, prepayment or
conversion (or available in connection with a failure to borrow a
requested loan) by making a loan of the same type in the principal
amount paid, prepaid or not borrowed during the period from the date
of such payment, prepayment conversion or failure to borrow to the end
of the Interest Period for the loan that was paid, prepaid, converted
or not borrowed."
6. Section 19 of the Security Agreement is amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
- 7 -
"SECTION 19
EARLY TERMINATION
Except as hereinafter set forth Debtor may not prepay the Term Loans in
whole or in part. So long as no Event of Default (or event which with notice or
lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default) shall have occurred
and be continuing, Debtor may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Secured Party that Debtor desires to prepay the entire amount of a Term Loan
with respect to the Equipment subject to a specific Security Agreement Schedule,
prepay the entire amount of such Term Loan on the date specified in such notice
(the "Early Termination Date"). Floating Rate Loans may only be prepaid on the
last day of an Interest Period. On such Early Termination Date, Debtor shall
pay to Secured Party an amount equal to the sum of: (a) all Amortization
Payments for such Equipment due and unpaid, together with Amortization Payments
accrued through such Early Termination Date; (b) the Termination Value of the
Equipment as of the Early Termination Date; (c) all costs, expenses, losses and
damages incurred or sustained by Secured Party in connection with such early
termination and all amounts such Debtor shall be required to pay Secured Party
pursuant to any indemnity provision contained in this Security Agreement; and
(d) interest on each of the foregoing and on all amounts not paid when due under
any provision contained in the Security Agreement at the rate of the lesser of
(i) the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a 360 day year or (ii) the highest rate
Debtor may lawfully contract for, be charged and pay. For purposes of this
Section 19, Amortization Payments shall be prorated daily and the Termination
Values set forth in the applicable Security Agreement Schedule shall be prorated
daily by interpolation on a straight line basis to the date of payment. The
Termination Values set forth in the Security Agreement Schedules for Term Loans
other than Floating Rate Loans will include the following prepayment premiums:

to time from the date hereof to the Maturity Date; provided, however, that the
aggregate amount of such Advances outstanding at any one time may not exceed
-6-
$10,000,000.00 ("Revolving Credit Facility"). Within the foregoing limits, the
Borrower may borrow, partially or wholly prepay, and reborrow under this Section
2.
2.02 MAKING ADVANCES. Each Advance shall be conclusively deemed to have
been made at the request of and for the benefit of the Borrower when made upon
telephonic or facsimile request received from the Borrower, with a confirmation
in writing sent within two Business Days, and (i) when credited to any deposit
account of the Borrower maintained with NationsBank, or (ii) when paid in
accordance with the Borrower's written instructions. Each request for an
Advance must be received not later than 11:30 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the
Business Day specified for a Prime Rate Advance and 11:30 a.m. (Dallas, Texas
time) two Business Days prior to the date specified for a LIBO Rate Advance,
each of which dates shall be a Business Day. The rates for a LIBO Rate Advance
shall be set on the next succeeding Business Day if the request is received by
11:30 a.m. Any request for an Advance received after the above-specified
deadline may, at NationsBank's option, be deemed to be a request for an Advance

third succeeding Business Day for a LIBO Rate Advance. NationsBank shall not

referred to above given by someone who identifies himself or herself as a person
named on a list of persons authorized to borrow money for the Borrower given to
NationsBank from time to time by the Borrower's chief financial officer, and
upon the making of the Advance by NationsBank in accordance with any such
telephonic notice, the Borrower shall have effected an Advance hereunder.

promises and agrees to pay to NationsBank in full the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of all Advances then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon.
2.04 INTEREST ON ADVANCES. Interest shall accrue from the date of each
Advance at one of the following rates, as quoted by NationsBank and as elected
by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.04 or Section 2.05 of this Agreement:

time to time. Interest shall be adjusted concurrently with any change in the
Prime Rate.
(b) LIBO RATE ADVANCES. For Advances designated as LIBO Rate

actual days elapsed. Interest on Prime Rate Advances shall be paid in Dollars
in arrears in monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month
following the date of the first such Advance and continuing on the first day of
each month thereafter. Interest on any LIBO Rate Advance shall be paid in
arrears on the last day of the LIBO Rate Interest Period pertaining to such LIBO
Rate Advance and, if such Interest Period is greater than three months, on that
date falling three months (if the LIBO Rate Interest Period is six months),
three months and six months (if the LIBO Rate Interest Period is nine months)
and three months, six months and nine months (if the LIBO Rate Interest Period
is twelve months) after the first day of such Interest Period.
2.05 INTEREST ON OVERDUE PAYMENTS. Overdue payments of principal (and of
interest and fees to the extent permitted by law) on the Advances, and all
amounts payable on demand in accordance with the terms of this Agreement which
are not paid on demand, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum
equal to the Prime Rate plus three percent (3%) until such unpaid amount has
been paid in full (whether before or after judgment); provided, however, that
such rate of interest shall in no event be less than the interest rate in effect
at the time such payment was due. All interest provided for in this Section
2.05 shall be compounded monthly, based on a year of 360 days for actual days
elapsed, and be payable on demand. Except as provided in this Section 2.05, the
Advances will bear interest (whether before or after any breach of this
Agreement) at the rate of interest specified in Section 2.04 of this Agreement.
2.06 PROMISSORY NOTE. The Borrower's obligation to repay Advances under
the Revolving Credit Facility shall be evidenced by the Note, all the terms of
which are incorporated in this Agreement by this reference.
2.07 REDUCTION OF COMMITMENT. The Borrower may reduce the amount of the
Commitment at any time (with any such reduction to be in a minimum amount of
$100,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000) by giving NationsBank written
notice of the amount to which the Commitment is to be reduced, with such
reduction to be effective as of the close of business on the date specified in
said notice, which date must be a Business Day and must be at least two Business
Days after such notice is actually received by NationsBank; provided, however,
that (a) no such reduction may reduce the Commitment to an amount less than (i)

reimbursed by the Borrowers, (b) after giving NationsBank a notice of reduction
of the Commitment, the Borrower may not subsequently increase the amount of the
Commitment, and (c) any such reduction which reduces the Commitment below Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) shall also reduce the amount of the Letter of
Credit Commitment to the amount of the reduced Commitment.
-8-
2.08 NOTICE OF ELECTION TO ADJUST INTEREST RATE. Before the end of any
LIBO Rate Interest Period, the Borrower may elect that interest on the LIBO Rate
Advance outstanding during such Interest Period shall continue to accrue after
the end of such Interest Period at a new LIBO Rate quoted by NationsBank for an
additional Interest Period of the same duration or any other duration permitted
under this Agreement; provided, however, that such election shall specify the
duration of the next Interest Period and be received by NationsBank no later
than 11:30 a.m. two Business Days prior to the last day of the LIBO Rate
Interest Period for a LIBO Rate Advance. Before the end of any LIBO Rate
Interest Period, the Borrower may elect that interest on the LIBO Rate Advance
outstanding during such Interest Period shall accrue at the Prime Rate after the
end of such Interest Period; provided, however, that such election shall be
received by NationsBank no later than the last day of such Interest Period. The
elections referred to above may be made by telephone if they are immediately
confirmed in writing by telecopy, with the original of such writing deposited in
the United States mail or with an air courier on the same day addressed to
NationsBank. NationsBank shall not incur any liability to the Borrower in
acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above given by someone who
identifies himself or herself as a person named on a list of persons authorized
to borrow money for the Borrower given to NationsBank from time to time by the
Borrower's Chief Financial Officer, and upon the continuation of any Advance by
NationsBank in accordance with any such telephonic notice, the Borrower shall
have effected the continuation of an Advance hereunder. If NationsBank shall
not have received notice as required by this Section 2.08 of Borrower's election
that interest on any Fixed Rate Advance shall continue to accrue at a LIBO Rate
or Prime Rate quoted by NationsBank, as the case may be, and the Borrower does
not repay the Advance in full, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that
interest on the Advance after the end of the current Interest Period shall be
adjusted to accrue at the Prime Rate then in effect.
2.09 PREPAYMENT.
(a) The Borrower may prepay any Advance in whole or in part, at any
time and without penalty; provided, however, that (i) any partial prepayment
shall first be applied, at NationsBank's option, to accrued and unpaid interest
and next to the outstanding principal balance; and (ii) during any period of
time in which interest is accruing on any Advance on the basis of the LIBO Rate,
no prepayment shall be made except on a day which is the last day of the
Interest Period pertaining thereto; provided, however, if the whole or any part
of any Fixed Rate Advance is prepaid by reason of acceleration or otherwise, the
Borrower shall, upon NationsBank's request, promptly pay to and indemnify
NationsBank for all costs and losses actually incurred by NationsBank as a
consequence of such prepayment, and provided further, that any prepayment under
this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default.
(b) If, on the last day of any Interest Period, the aggregate
principal amount of all LIBO Rate Advances then outstanding, when combined with
the
-9-
aggregate principal amount of all Prime Rate Advances then outstanding and the
aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (without
duplication) the aggregate amount of all drawings paid by NationsBank under
Letters of Credit and not then reimbursed by the Borrower, exceeds the
Commitment, the Borrower shall on such last day prepay to NationsBank an
aggregate principal amount of such Advances at least equal to such excess
together with accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of
such prepayment.
2.10 APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS. Unless otherwise directed by Borrower,
NationsBank shall apply all prepayments not designated by Borrower to apply to
any Advance or Advances first to all the Prime Rate Advances outstanding at the
time of such prepayment and second to any outstanding LIBO Rate Advances in the
chronological order of the respective maturities of such LIBO Rate Advances.
2.11 INTEREST PERIOD BREAKAGE COSTS. If any Fixed Rate Advance shall
become due and payable prior to the last day of its Interest Period by
acceleration or otherwise, or if the Borrower shall fail to borrow a Fixed Rate
Advance on the date specified by the Borrower for such Advance (other than as a
result of NationsBank's failure to make funds available for such Advance), the
Borrower shall, with respect to any prepayment of all or any portion of a Fixed
Rate Advance or the failure to borrow all or any portion of a Fixed Rate
Advance, on the date specified for such Advance, pay to NationsBank immediately
upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for
each month from the month in which the prepayment or failure to borrow occurs
through the month in which the final day of the Interest Period for such prepaid
or non-borrowed Fixed Rate Advance occurs, with the discounted monthly
differences being calculated as follows:
(a) DETERMINE the amount of interest which would have accrued each
month on the amount prepaid or not borrowed at the LIBO Rate, in the case of a
LIBO Rate Advance, applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding or been
borrowed and outstanding until the last day of the applicable Interest Period.
(b) SUBTRACT from the amount determined in subsection (a) above the
amount of interest which would accrue for the same month on the amount prepaid
or not borrowed for the remaining term of the Interest Period in which such
prepayment occurs or such borrowing was to be made at the LIBO Rate, in the case
of a LIBO Rate Advance, as determined by NationsBank in its sole discretion, in
effect on the date of prepayment for new Fixed Rate Advances of the type prepaid
or not borrowed made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount
prepaid or not borrowed.
(c) If the result obtained in (b) for any month is greater than zero,
discount that difference by the LIBO Rate used in (b) above.
-10-
The Borrower acknowledges that prepayments of LIBO Rate Advances before the end
of their Interest Periods and failure to borrow a Fixed Rate Advance after it is
requested Will result in NationsBank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or
liabilities, and that it is extremely difficult to ascertain the full extent of
such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. NationsBank will send the Borrower in
writing NationsBank's calculation of the above-described tee, and the Borrower
agrees that the amount of such fee determined by such calculation represents a
reasonable estimate of the prepayment and non-borrowing costs, expenses and/or
liabilities of NationsBank, and that the Borrower will pay such fee as so
calculated absent manifest error. If the Borrower fails to pay any fee for any
prepayment or failure to borrow when due, the amount of such fee shall
thereafter bear interest until paid at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the
Prime Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year,
actual days elapsed) plus three percent (3%).
2.12 INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIBO RATE COSTS. Notwithstanding anything
provided in the definition of LIBO Rate in Section 1.01 of this Agreement,
during any period of time after the date of this Agreement in which interest on
any Advance is accruing on the basis of the LIBO Rate, the Borrower shall, upon
NationsBank's written request, which request shall explain in reasonable detail
the reason for such costs or payments and shall be conclusive and binding on the
Borrower absent manifest error, promptly pay to, and reimburse NationsBank for,
any increase in the cost to NationsBank of, or any reduction in the amount of
any sum receivable by NationsBank in respect of, making, continuing or
maintaining (or of NationsBank's obligation to make, continue or maintain) any
Advance as, or of converting (or of NationsBank's obligation to convert) any
Advance into, Fixed Rate Advances (including, but not limited to, any imposition
or effectiveness of reserve requirements, assessments, deposits or similar
requirements) that arise after the date of this Agreement in connection with any
change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation,
reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law, regulation, directive, guideline,
decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court,
central bank, regulator or other governmental authority.
2.13 INABILITY TO DETERMINE THE LIBO RATE. In the event that NationsBank
shall at any time decide that the accrual of interest on the basis of the LIBO
Rate (i) cannot be determined at the time of any borrowing or the continuation
of any borrowing because Dollar deposits, contracts or time deposits in an
amount approximately equal to the amount of the relevant Fixed Rate Advance and
for a period of time approximately equal to relevant Interest Period are not
available, or (ii) is or has become unlawful or impossible by reason of
NationsBank's compliance with any new law, rule, regulation, guideline or order,
or any new interpretation of any present law, rule, regulation, guideline or
order, then NationsBank shall give telephonic notice thereof (confirmed in
writing) to the Borrower, in which event such Fixed Rate Advance shall not be
made or, at the election of the Borrower, be made as a Prime Rate Advance or, if
already made,
-11-
shall be immediately prepaid, but then may be converted into a Prime Rate
Advance at the election of the Borrower. In the event that NationsBank shall at
any time decide that the accrual of interest on the basis of the LIBO Rate for a
LIBO Rate Advance does not accurately reflect the cost to NationsBank of making
or continuing such Fixed Rate Advance, then NationsBank shall give telephonic
notice thereof (confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and such Fixed Rate
Advance shall not be made or, at the election of the Borrower, be made as a
Prime Rate Advance, if such Fixed Rate Advance has not been made without the
Borrower paying any interest breakage costs referred to in Section 2.11 of this
Agreement, or, if such Fixed Rate Advance has already been made, such Fixed Rate
Advance will be paid on the last day of the Interest Period in which the
Borrower receives such notice.
2.14 PAYMENTS. Payment of all sums due from the Borrower under this
Agreement with respect to Advances and reimbursement of Letter of Credit
payments made by NationsBank shall be made by the Borrower to NationsBank in
immediately available funds. Each such payment by the Borrower shall be made
without setoff or counterclaim on the day such payment is due. All sums
received after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
Whenever any payment under this Agreement shall be stated to be due on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest; provided, however, if such extension would
cause payment of interest on, or principal of, LIBO Rate Advances to be made in
the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day.
2.15 TAXES.
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower shall be made hereunder free
and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
existing on or arising after the date of this Agreement, excluding taxes imposed
on NationsBank's income, and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction
under the laws of which NationsBank is organized or any political subdivision
thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as Taxes"). If
Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary
so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) NationsBank receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law.
-12-
(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any stamp or documentary
taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies,
existing on or arising after the date of this Agreement, which arise from any
payment or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement
(hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
(c) Borrower will indemnify NationsBank for the full amount of Taxes
or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by
NationsBank and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, except to the
extent that such liabilities arise directly from NationsBank's gross negligence
or willful misconduct, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the
date NationsBank makes written demand therefor.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes. the
Borrower will furnish to NationsBank at its address referred to in Section 9.03
of this Agreement. the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof. If no taxes are payable in respect of any payment hereunder,
Borrower will furnish to NationsBank at such address a certificate from each
appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to
NationsBank, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from, or not
subject to, Taxes.
(e) To the extent that any Taxes were not lawfully payable, any
recovery ultimately received by NationsBank in respect of any such Taxes shall
be refunded to the Borrower to the extent of the Borrower's applicable
indemnification payment.
(f) NationsBank agrees that, upon receiving written notice from the
Borrower, NationsBank shall take all such actions as are reasonably necessary to
enable the Borrower to pay all Taxes in a timely manner and to claim such
exemptions as NationsBank may be entitled to claim in respect of all or any
portion of any Taxes which are otherwise required to be paid or deducted or
withheld pursuant to this Section 2.15 in respect of any payments under this
Agreement.
(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
this Section 2.15 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder.
2.16 REVOLVING CREDIT ACCOUNT.
(a) NationsBank shall maintain on its books a record of account in
which NationsBank shall make entries for each Advance and such other debits and
credits as shall be appropriate in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility
(the
-13-
"Revolving Credit Account"). NationsBank shall provide the Borrower with a
monthly statement of the Borrower's Revolving Credit Account, which statement
shall be considered to be correct and conclusively binding on the Borrower
unless the Borrower notifies NationsBank to the contrary within 30 days after
the Borrower's receipt of any such statement which it deems to be incorrect.
(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes NationsBank, if and to the extent
any payment owed to NationsBank under this Agreement is not made when due, after
giving effect to any grace period, to charge, from time to time, against any or
all of the Borrower's deposit accounts with NationsBank any amount so due.
2.17 FACILITY FEE. The Borrower shall pay to NationsBank on the date of
this Agreement a facility fee in the amount of One Dollar ($1.00).

NationsBank pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.15 or 3.06 of this Agreement or

the Borrower notice of the occurrence of the circumstances which may or will
require such payment within thirty (30) calendar days after NationsBank becomes
aware of the occurrence of such circumstances.
(b) The Borrower shall not be responsible for any payment or
indemnification required pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.15 or 3.06 of this

indemnity obligation of the Borrower directly results from NationsBank's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

In addition to making Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility
described hereinabove, NationsBank hereby agrees to make the following credit
accommodation available to the Borrower on the following terms and conditions:

of the Borrower ("Letter of Credit Sub-Facility") subject to the terms and
conditions of the Letter of Credit Agreements; provided, however, at no time
shall the total face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding, less any
partial draws paid by NationsBank under Letters of Credit and not reimbursed by
the Borrower, exceed the sum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00).
3 02 LETTER OF CREDIT FEES. Upon NationsBank's request, the Borrower

3.04 FORM OF LETTERS OF CREDIT. Each Letter of Credit shall provide only
for drafts or demands payable at sight, and shall be in form and substance and
in favor of beneficiaries satisfactory to NationsBank; provided, however, that
NationsBank may refuse to issue a Letter of Credit due to the nature of the
transaction or its terms or in connection with any transaction where
NationsBank, due to the beneficiary or the nationality or residence of the
beneficiary, would be prohibited by any applicable law, regulation or order from
issuing such Letter of Credit.
3.05 APPLICATIONS. Prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, but in
no event later than 4:30 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the Business Day
immediately preceding the day such Letter of Credit is to be issued (which shall
be a Business Day), the Borrower shall deliver to NationsBank a duly executed
Application for the type of Letter of Credit to be issued, with proper

NationsBank of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by
NationsBank in respect of, making, continuing or maintaining (or NationBank's
obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Letter of Credit (including, but
not limited to, any imposition or effectiveness of reserve requirements,
assessments, deposits or similar requirements) that arise after the date of this
Agreement in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption,
effectiveness,

debiting the depository account or accounts maintained by the Borrower with
NationsBank for the amount of such drawing. NationsBank will notify the
Borrower of each such debit on the date the debit occurs. In the event that the
Borrower fails to pay the amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit on
the same day as the drawing occurs or in the event that the balances in the

9.04 WAIVERS. Neither any failure nor any delay by NationsBank in
exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or under any other
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder or thereunder preclude other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy;
nor shall any waiver of any right, power or remedy or Event of Default under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document constitute a waiver of any other
right, power or remedy or Event of Default or constitute a waiver of any other
default of the same, or any other, term or provision. Any waiver, permit,
consent or approval of any kind by NationsBank of any breach of, or Event of
Default under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be in writing and
shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing.

this Agreement are inconsistent with those contained in any other Loan Document,
the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement shall control. If they are

breaches, inaccuracies and violations of such sections existing at such time and
all other Events of Default and Potential Events of Default existing at such
time does not have, or cannot reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse
effect on the Borrower's financial condition, business operations or assets.
9.07 BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT; PARTICIPATIONS. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and NationsBank and their
respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the

to be effective by its terms and otherwise be in the form of the Note it
replaces. In the event NationsBank grants a participation in all or part of its
rights and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
Borrower agrees that NationsBank shall, notwithstanding any such transfer, be
entitled to the full benefits accorded NationsBank under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as if NationsBank had not made such transfer; and the
Borrower hereby authorizes NationsBank and each such participant, in case of
default by the Borrower under this Agreement, to proceed directly by right of
setoff, banker's lien or otherwise against any assets of the Borrower which may
at the time of such default be in the hands of NationsBank or such participant
to the same extent, in the case of the participant, as if its participating
interest were owing directly to it. The Borrower agrees that, in connection
with any such sale, grant, assignment or participation, NationsBank may deliver
to the prospective buyer or assignee or participant financial statements and
other relevant information relating to the Borrower if such third party agrees
in writing to abide by the confidentiality provisions of Section 9.08 of this
Agreement.

procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in
accordance with safe and sound banking practices; provided, however, that
disclosure of such confidential information may be made (a) if such information
is or becomes generally available to the public, or (b) if such information is
or becomes available to NationsBank on a non-confidential basis from a person or
entity, other than the Borrower, who is not prohibited from disclosing the
information to any person or entity, or (c) if such disclosure is made (i) to
the affiliates of NationsBank, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of
an interest in NationsBank's Advances or Commitment or a portion of the
outstanding Letters of Credit; provided, however, that such prospective
transferee or purchaser has agreed in writing to abide by the confidentiality

order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, and (iv) as may be required in
connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of NationsBank.

disclosure of any such confidential information unless prohibited by applicable
law, rule, regulation or order.

governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Texas, and

any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not in any way
affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement or such other Loan Document or the provisions of any other Loan
Document.
9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER AND NATIONSBANK EACH HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING

$10,000,000 Dallas, Texas June 15, 1995
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER CORPORATION
("Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of NATIONSBANK OF TEXAS, N.A.
("NationsBank") at NationsBank's office at 901 Main Street, Dallas, Texas 75202,
or at such other place in the State of Texas as NationsBank may designate, in
lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds,
the principal sum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), or so much thereof as
may be advanced and be outstanding.
Borrower further agrees to pay interest (whether before or after any breach
of this Note) at said office, in like funds and currency, on the unpaid
principal amount owing hereunder from time to time from the date hereof until
such amount shall have become due and payable (whether at the stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) at either (a) a fluctuating rate per annum at all
times equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, or (b) a fixed rate
per annum determined by NationsBank to be one percent (1.00%) above the LIBO
Rate in effect on the first day of any LIBO Rate Interest Period for a LIBO Rate
Advance. When interest is determined in relation to the Prime Rate, each change
in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on the date each Prime
Rate change is announced within NationsBank. Interest shall also be payable on
any overdue payment of principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest
as set forth in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).
With respect to each interest rate selection by Borrower, the date,
principal amount, rate of interest, term of the applicable Interest Period for a
LIBO Rate Advance, and any payments applicable thereto, shall be set forth by
NationsBank on the reverse of this Note or on such schedules as NationsBank
shall maintain for such purposes. Absent manifest error, such notations on this
Note or on such schedules, and all endorsements by NationsBank thereon, shall be
conclusive evidence of all such items.
This Note is the Revolving Credit Facility Note defined in and made
pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of June 15, 1995,
between Borrower and NationsBank, as amended from time to time, (the "Credit

Note shall change from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement.
The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the
total of all amounts advanced under this Note by the holder of this Note less
the amount
of all principal payments made on this Note by or for Borrower, which balance
may be endorsed on this Note from time to time by NationsBank. Notwithstanding
anything in this Note to the contrary, the outstanding principal balance of this
Note, together with the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
(as defined in the Credit Agreement), shall not at any time exceed the maximum
principal amount set forth above, or such lesser amount as is then available
under this Note if the maximum principal amount of this Note is reduced pursuant
to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
Interest accrued on this Note shall be due and payable as provided in the
Credit Agreement. The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall also be due and payable on the
Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
Borrower may prepay principal on this Note solely in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement. Each payment of principal on this Note shall be
credited to the portions of this Note which bear interest determined in relation
to the Prime Rate and the LIBO Rate in accordance with the application of
payment provisions of the Credit Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) NationsBank, at NationsBank's option, may declare all sums of
principal and interest outstanding under this Note to be immediately due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of dishonor, all of
which are expressly waived by Borrower, and NationsBank shall have all rights,
powers and remedies set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Borrower agrees to pay, immediately upon demand, the full amount of all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (including, but not
limited to, allocated costs for in-house legal services), incurred by
