CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY ALIEN TECHNOLOGY CORP.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

This Memorandum of Understanding (“Memorandum”) is entered into this 14th day of February, 2006, between Alien Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business at 18220 Butterfield Blvd., Morgan Hill, California 95037 (“Customer”) and Solectron Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business at 847 Gibraltar Drive, Milpitas, California (“Solectron”), on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Customer desires to have Solectron perform certain new product manufacturing services as indicated in the Quotations issued by Solectron and accepted by Customer (“Quotations”). Such Quotations shall reference this Memorandum. Customer authorizes Solectron by way of this Memorandum, to purchase to a Customer provided forecast or Purchase Order, material using standard purchasing practices including, but not limited to, acquisition of material recognizing Economic Order Quantities, Supplier imposed minimum/multiple order quantities, ABC buy policy, and long component lead time management.

The customer will purchase material from Solectron which was purchased by Solectron on its behalf within 30 days after that material is determined to be excess. Excess Material is material on hand or noncancelable/nonrescheduleable which exceeds 90 days of customer forecasted requirements.

Customer acknowledges financial liability for material purchased by Solectron but this liability will not exceed the raw cost of the material (plus a reasonable handling charge and supply chain cost) necessary to manufacture Customer’s product(s) pursuant to Customer’s firm purchase order and the forecast submitted to Solectron, and in all events subject to the following:

Customer acknowledges financial responsibility for all labor and pre-approved non-recurring expenses (NRE) expended in manufacturing customer’s products.

No line item may be rescheduled more than once.

All shipments will be made FCA: Solectron facility/point of shipment (Incoterms 2000). Payment terms are net 30 days subject to continuing credit approval.

Customer shall issue its purchase order consistent with the Quotation to Solectron Corporation within thirty (30) days of the date this Memorandum is signed. In the event that the hard copy of the purchase order is delayed, this Memorandum shall serve as sufficient evidence of the contractual relationship between Customer and Solectron such that Solectron shall submit and Customer shall honor invoices submitted for payment pursuant to this Agreement.

The terms of this Memorandum shall take precedence over any pre-printed terms and conditions on Customer’s purchase orders. Customer agrees to actively negotiate a Manufacturing Services Agreement with Solectron and agrees that such Manufacturing Services Agreement will supersede the terms and conditions contained in this Memorandum. The parties further agree that a Manufacturing Services Agreement shall be in force and effect before any volume production commences.
