purchased by Lattice, plus the aggregate dollar value of the 200mm Price for all 200mm Wafers purchased by Lattice, equals the amount of the Credited Amount.”

5.                                      Free 200mm Wafers. Section 5.3 of the APPA shall be renumbered as 5.3.1 and the following shall be inserted as Section 5.3.2:

“As a consideration for Lattice’s payment of the Advance Payment, Fujitsu will provide Lattice with * free Akiruno 200mm Wafers and/or Mie 200mm Wafers, respectively, whenever the respective aggregated amount of the Akiruno 200mm Wafers or Mie 200mm Wafers shipped by Fujitsu reaches every * wafers while the Credited Amount exists, provided that, all the 200mm Wafers for which free 200mm Wafers will be provided are paid for by offsetting the 200mm Price thereof against the Credited Amount. The Credited Amount will not be reduced by the 200mm Price of such free Akiruno 200mm Wafers or Mie 200mm Wafers. Lattice will not receive free Akiruno 200mm Wafers or Mie 200mm Wafers with respect to any 200mm Wafers purchased by Lattice other than through reduction of the Credited Amount.”
