Reference: Global Supplier Agreement, dated April 21, 2005
Mr. Melvin,
To allow for adequate time to complete ongoing negotiations of our existing GSA document, we are amending the Global Supplier Agreement between Applied and MKS Instruments to extend the existing term. We will in good faith work on an evergreen agreement within the next 6 months. Unless the GSA is terminated sooner, the term of the GSA will now expire on October 31, 2013. During that time either Applied or MKS Instruments may provide the other company 9 months written notice terminating the GSA.
All other Terms and Conditions of the Global Supply Agreement remain unchanged. Additionally, any Addendums that expire upon the expiry or termination of the GSA shall also be extended for this additional period, unless earlier terminated as provided in the Addendum or this letter.
