Supplier Agreements

Under the terms of the Company’s wafer-supply agreements with Seiko Epson Corporation ("Epson") and ROHM Lapis Semiconductor Co., Ltd. ("Lapis"), the wafers purchased from these suppliers are priced in U.S. dollars, with mutual sharing of the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar on future purchases. Each year, the Company’s management and these two suppliers review and negotiate future pricing; the negotiated pricing is denominated in U.S. dollars but is subject to contractual exchange-rate provisions. The fluctuation in the exchange rate is shared equally between the Company and each of these suppliers on future purchases.
