        Advance payments from customer relate to an agreement that the Company entered into with a specific customer in 2000. The agreement calls for the Company to supply either a minimum quantity of products or make minimum repayments. The minimum payment required to be made annually is the greatest of 15% of the value of product shipped to the customer or $10.0 million, until such time that the advances have been fully repaid. The Company repaid $10.0 million in each of the three years ended December 31, 2011 under this agreement. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had remaining $24.7 million in customer advances received, of which $10.0 million is recorded in accrued and other liabilities and $14.7 million in other long-term liabilities.

        Also included in other long-term liabilities is a note payable to an entity in which the Company has an equity investment to further its strategic objectives. The total outstanding amount due was $7.4 million, of which $6.6 million is included in other long-term liabilities, and $0.8 million is included in accounts payable at December 31, 2011 and $7.0 million, of which $6.5 million is included in other long-term liabilities, and $0.5 million is included in accounts payable at December 31, 2010. In addition, the Company paid $3.7 million, $5.0 million and $7.8 million to this company for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, relating to a cost sharing arrangement for facility services at its Heilbronn, Germany facility.

        Included in both current and long-term liabilities is a liability related to a manufacturing services agreement entered into with LFoundry Rousset SAS ("LFoundry Rousset"). In connection with the sale of the Company's Rousset manufacturing operations to LFoundry GmbH ("LFoundry GmbH"), it entered into certain other ancillary agreements, including a manufacturing services agreement ("MSA") in which the Company will purchase wafers from LFoundry's affiliate, LFoundry Rousset, for four years following the closing on a "take-or-pay" basis.
