ARTICLE I.

TERM, QUANTITY, QUALITY, PRICING AND PAYMENT

 

Section 1.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2001 (the “Effective Date”) and shall end at the conclusion of the twenty four (24) month period following the Effective Date (the “Term.”).

 

Section 1.2 Minimum Commitment. In each calendar quarter during the Term, Spectrian agrees to purchase and accept delivery from Newco of, and Newco agrees to sell and ship to Spectrian, Components having an aggregate purchase price not less than the respective minimum commitment amounts set forth below:

(for each calendar quarter, and as it may be reduced or modified by the terms hereof, the “Minimum Commitment”). The Minimum Commitment shall be satisfied by Spectrian Purchases; provided, however, that, to the extent that Spectrian Purchases in a calendar quarter exceed the Minimum Commitment for that calendar quarter, such excess shall not carry over to be applied against the Minimum Commitment for any subsequent calendar quarter. As used herein, “Spectrian Purchases” means the aggregate amount the purchase price (without giving effect to the Shortfall Surcharge (defined below)) of purchases of Components from Newco and other of the Parent’s products that are shipped by Newco to Spectrian during a given calendar quarter or that have Original Delivery Dates (as defined in Section 3.1) or scheduled delivery dates otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing, in each case within such calendar quarter if not shipped during that calendar quarter. For purposes of this Section 1.2, Spectrian Purchases include purchase of Components from Newco by any subsidiary of Spectrian in which Spectrian owns over 50% or by an entity which controls Spectrian (owns 50% or greater ownership in Spectrian); provided, however, that purchases by any of the entities specified in Schedule 1.2 hereto shall not be included as Spectrian Purchases.

 

If Spectrian fails to satisfy the Minimum Commitment for any calendar quarter, Spectrian shall pay to Newco in cash, within thirty (30) days following such calendar quarter, an amount equal to the Shortfall Surcharge. As used herein, “Shortfall Surcharge” for any calendar quarter means the difference between the (a) Adjusted Minimum Commitment (defined as Minimum Commitment less (i) Performance and Component Availability Adjustments and (ii) Guaranteed Supply Adjustments) for such calendar quarter and (b) Spectrian Purchases for such calendar quarter. Spectrian agrees to promptly notify Newco in the event Spectrian expects to not achieve its Minimum Commitment in any period. In the event that a Shortfall Surcharge shall be payable with respect to any calendar quarter, the amount of the Shortfall Surcharge shall be deemed to have been allocated pro rata among all Components shipped during such calendar quarter as an increase in the purchase price thereof.

 

Section 1.3 Guaranteed Capacity. Newco agrees that it will allocate sufficient production capacity to Spectrian to meet [***] of the Minimum Commitment, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 2.4 regarding lead times.

 

Section 1.4 Performance and Component Availability. (a) Spectrian will provide Newco with quarterly product roadmaps and specifications for future Spectrian products. Spectrian will consider in good faith utilizing Components from Newco in products under development by Spectrian provided that such Components are Competitive. Spectrian and Newco shall in good faith discuss, and mutually agree in writing from time to time, upon the requirements for Components to be deemed “Competitive”. The requirements will be based upon whether such products (i) have key performance parameter limits that are within the key performance parameter limits for a third party component that Spectrian might otherwise utilize, (ii) meet the specification requirements of Spectrian’s product design, (iii) have been fully released to manufacturing by Newco, (iv) are to be projected to be available in quantities necessary to support the projected Spectrian production requirements and (v) have a competitive price. The parties agree that the Components listed on Schedule 1.4 hereto are deemed to be Competitive in the Spectrian products for which they currently are utilized as of the date hereof. Newco shall be afforded a period of [***] months from the date that production parts are commercially available (or, if later, from the date the parties have mutually agreed upon the

 

[***] Confidential treatment requested pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Omitted portions have been filed separately with the Commission.

requirements for a Component to be Competitive) in which to develop and release such Competitive products to manufacturing.

 

(b) In the event that Spectrian determines to “lock in” a Component in its design of Spectrian products, it shall give written notice to Newco of its determination with respect to such Component (a “Locked In Component”). Thereafter, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, if Locked In Components are not available from Newco that meet the Competitive requirements, and if other Components from the Newco portfolio are not available which would otherwise meet Spectrian’s Competitive requirements for the Minimum Commitment, then the dollar volume of these Components which are purchased by Spectrian from other vendors in a calendar quarter shall be deemed to be a “Performance and Product Availability Adjustment” for purposes of the Minimum Commitment for such quarter.

 

Section 1.5 Guaranteed Supply. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Newco shall assure supply to Spectrian of all Components that have been designed into Spectrian’s products. In the event that Newco decides to discontinue manufacturing and delivery of certain Components (“End-of-Life”), Newco will accept all purchase orders provided by Spectrian (“Last Time Buy”) of the specific part number(s) subject to Newco’s End of Life notification for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of notification and Newco agrees that delivery will not exceed twenty four (24) months from the date of such notification. Spectrian’s Last Time Buy must be placed before the expiration of the twelve (12) month period following the End of Life notification. All Last Time Buy purchase orders shall be placed on a non-cancelable and non-refundable basis and marked as such on Spectrian’s purchase orders. The price for finished Components purchased under a Last Time Buy will be subject to the prices or pricing criteria, as outlined in Section 1.6.

 

Spectrian will make reasonable efforts to assess its Last Time Buy requirements for each product being subject to an End of Life notification and place an order for such requirement. In addition, Spectrian may request that a portion of the Life Time Buy be in the form of Qualified Die Bank. “Qualified Die Bank” is defined as die in wafer form which has been subjected to the wafer fabrication process and has had a sample of ten (10) die across the wafer selected and then packaged and tested for those specific ten (10) die to confirm that the wafer will yield good RF performance devices at an economic yield. The approval by Newco of such a Spectrian request for a portion of its Last Time Buy in the form of Qualified Die Bank will not be unreasonably withheld. Spectrian shall purchase the Qualified Die Bank under provisions of the Last Time Buy stated above, and will bear the risk for die yield. The price for Qualified Die Bank will be no greater than the lower of (i) market price and (ii) [***] of Newco’s standard manufacturing cost (which shall include a reasonable manufacturing overhead allocation).

 

In the event that Newco is unable to satisfy Spectrian’s Last Time Buy or Qualified Die Bank request for bipolar technology Components which have been designed into Spectrian products prior to the Effective Date, Newco agrees to transfer a royalty free license of the manufacturing process (including packaging technology, unless Newco agrees to provide such

services to Spectrian to complete the Qualified Die Bank at a reasonable cost) to such End of Life bipolar Components to Spectrian (or a designee approved by Newco, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to be manufactured exclusively for Spectrian and be for Spectrian’s own use, in order to ensure that the supply of such devices to Spectrian remains uninterrupted. The technical information to support such transfer will be provided at cost so as to ensure that there is no interruption in supply and in no event later than 24 months after the End of Life notification.

 

In the event that Spectrian purchases Components subsequent to an End of Life notification from another vendor by virtue of the fact that Newco could not deliver Components to Spectrian under Spectrian’s Last Time Buy purchase orders, then the purchases of such Components from another vendor other than Newco shall be deemed to be a “Guaranteed Supply Adjustment” for purposes of the Minimum Commitment.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newco agrees to not End of Life any Components during the 12 month period following the Effective Date except as disclosed on Schedule 1.5.

 

Section 1.6 Qualified Die Bank Purchases. From time to time, Spectrian may request that Newco provide it with Qualified Die Bank without regard to the Life Time Buy provisions above. The approval by Newco of such a Spectrian request will not be unreasonably withheld, but Spectrian shall bear the risk for die yield. The price for such Qualified Die Bank shall be [***] of Newco’s standard manufacturing cost (which shall include a reasonable manufacturing overhead allocation). Any such purchase of Qualified Die Bank shall be credited against the Minimum Commitment for the quarter in which such purchase is made. Such Qualified Die Bank may be held by Spectrian and thereafter submitted to Newco for Component finishing, in which case the price of the Component shall be the difference between the Component price determined pursuant to Section 1.7 and the price previously paid for such Qualified Die Bank. The differential in price shall be credited against the Minimum Commitment for the quarter in which such Component is shipped. Any Qualified Die Bank purchased by Spectrian hereunder may not be sold or transferred to any party other than Newco.

 

Section 1.7 Prices. (a) The prices for products purchased by Spectrian will be as set forth on Appendix A hereto, with the pricing determined as of the date of the Spectrian purchase order based upon the date of shipment from Newco. For shipments of bipolar products after the quarter ending June 30, 2001, the price for each bipolar product shall be the price set forth in the column for such quarter unless there shall have occurred a significant increase in packaging costs, in which case the parties shall negotiate in good faith the price for bipolar products having such increased packaging costs. For shipments of LDMOS products after the quarter ending June 30, 2001, the parties shall negotiate in good faith, not less than 90 days prior to the start of a calendar quarter, the price for LDMOS products to be shipped during such calendar quarter. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith (i) changes to the LDMOS prices set forth in Appendix A from time to time in the future and (ii) prices for new Components, in each case based to ensure best available commercial price at a similar volume purchase discount and a cost per watt benchmark for substantially equivalent products of any leading competitor where specific

comparable price is not available. In the event that Newco elects not to meet the best available commercial price for a particular product having equivalent specifications to the Newco Component, where such price is offered in writing to Spectrian for quantities not less than those

 

Spectrian would otherwise purchase from Newco under this Agreement, and Newco has had at least thirty (30) days after its receipt of a copy of the third party offer in which to meet such price, Spectrian may purchase such product from a third party vendor at such lower price, in which case such purchase will be credited against the Minimum Commitment.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newco shall provide Spectrian with its “most favored customers” pricing with respect all of Spectrian’s Component purchases (without regard to volume or mix) for all purchase orders placed during the (2) two consecutive 12 month periods following the Effective Date, with the “most favored customer pricing” determined at the time Spectrian submits its purchase order.

 

(b) The Component prices do not include sales, use, consumption or excise taxes of any taxing authority. The amount of such taxes, if any, will be added to the Component prices in effect at the time of shipment thereof and shall be reflected in the invoices submitted to Spectrian by Newco pursuant to this Agreement. Spectrian shall pay the amount of such taxes to Newco in accordance with the payment provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 1.8 Payment. Spectrian shall pay Newco the applicable price for the Components that Newco ships to Spectrian hereunder within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice therefor. All payments due to Newco under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars by Spectrian by wire transfer to an account to be designated in writing by Newco from time to time. All amounts not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (or such other percentage, if lower, as shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law) commencing forty five (45) days from the date of the relevant invoice. Spectrian shall be responsible for reasonable attorneys’ feeds and any other reasonable expenses incurred by Newco in connection with the collection of any amounts due and payable hereunder.
