8





12.2 The Fee may be increased subject to Article 5.3 hereof, and the total fee including the additional costs set forth under Articles 5.3 (if any) shall be determined upon the finalization of the Second Phase Specification (“Total Fee”). The Total Fee shall be paid in installments in accordance with the terms set forth in Articles 12.3 and 12.4 below.

12.3 [* * *] (i.e., one million (1,000,000) U.S. dollars calculated upon the Base Exchange Rate) out of the Total Fee (“Initial Fee”) shall be paid by Capso to Canon as an advance payment. Canon shall send Capso an invoice for the Initial Fee and any taxes without delay after the execution of this Agreement. Capso shall make a payment of the Initial Fee in U.S. dollars by way of telegraphic transfer remittance to the bank account separately designated by Canon within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such invoice.

12.4 The remaining balance of the Total Fee ([* * *] which is equivalent to three million seventy eight thousand two hundred seventy (3,078,270) U.S. dollars calculated upon the Base Exchange Rate and any additional costs set forth under Article 5.3) (“Remaining Balance”) shall be paid by Capso to Canon in accordance with Article 12.5 below. The Remaining Balance will decrease over time as payments are made, but it may increase if interest is applied under Article 12.5.4. The exact Remaining Balance at any given time will reflect any prior payments and any increases due to interest, as well as any additional costs as outlined in Article 5.3.

12.5 The Remaining Balance shall be paid by Capso by way of adding an additional amount to the unit price of Canon CMOS Sensors which will be supplied to Capso in the mass production phase under the Master Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise increased under Article 12.2 above, the price to be added shall be [* * *] (“Additional Amount”).

12.5.1 At the end of each quarter as far as the Remaining Balance remains outstanding during the term of the Master Purchase Agreement, Canon shall notify Capso of then-current Remaining Balance in Japanese Yen through calculating the total Additional Amounts paid in the quarter which are converted into Japanese Yen subject to the Canon’s Exchange Rate.

12.5.2 “Canon’s Exchange Rate” shall mean an average of the telegraphic transfer middle rate issued by [* * *] during previous three (3) month-period before the last month of the previous calendar quarter.

12.5.3 For example, Canon’s Exchange Rate for the fourth (4th) quarter shall be decided in September in accordance with an average of the telegraphic transfer middle rate issued by [* * *] for the period from June to August. The total Additional Amounts paid by Capso during the forth (4th) quarter shall be converted into Japanese Yen by reflecting the then-current Canon’s Exchange Rate for the fourth (4th) quarter. Then-current Remaining Balance at the end of the quarter shall be notified to Capso pursuant to Article 12.5.1 above.

12.5.4 If Capso fails to pay the Remaining Balance within [* * *] terms from the execution date of the Master Purchase Agreement as set forth in Article 1 of Exhibit C hereof, the Remaining Balance shall








9





be increased by an interest rate designated by Canon. This interest rate will be determined in the month prior to the commencement of the [* * *] term of the Master Purchase Agreement. The interest rate shall be based on [* * *]. The same methodology for increasing the Remaining Balance shall apply to subsequent terms until the Remaining Balance is fully paid up.

12.5.5 The increased Remaining Balance as determined in Article 12.5.4 shall be paid by Capso in the same manner as the original Remaining Balance by adding an Additional Amount as defined in Article 12.5 to each unit of Canon CMOS Sensor supplied by Canon under the Master Purchase Agreement. This method of payment will continue until the Remaining Balance is fully settled by Capso.

12.6. For the avoidance of doubt, the Total Fee is exclusive of any tax and is paid to Canon without any deduction. Capso shall pay to Canon all amounts levied on the supply of the Canon CMOS Sensors by all applicable governmental authorities, including any sales, use or value-added taxes, other income tax in addition to the Total Fee. If there is a mandatory withholding or deduction by any applicable laws, the Total Fee shall be re-calculated and Capso shall pay to Canon any additional amounts as are necessary to ensure receipt by Canon of the full amount as specified under Article 12.1.
