WITNESSETH:  THAT

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lender and the Borrower Parent are parties to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2010, as may be amended from time to time (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Borrower shall purchase from the Lender, all outstanding shares of Sanyo Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and other certain assets;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Lender has agreed to finance a portion of the purchase price to be paid by the Borrower to the Lender (the “Purchase Price”) as a loan from the Lender to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, in connection therewith, the Borrower has requested a seven (7)-year term loan of THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SEVEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED FOURTEEN THOUSAND AND EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY-SIX U.S. DOLLARS and six cents (US$ 377,514,826.06) (the “Loan”) from the Lender, such amount being the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the Loan Consideration (as defined in Section 1.3(c)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement), converted from Japanese Yen to U.S. Dollars at the Spot Rate (as defined below); “Spot Rate” means the arithmetic average of the rates quoted by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. on each of December 16, December 17, December 20, December 21, and December 22, 2010, as the mid rate of the telegraphic transfer spot buying and selling exchange rate vis-a-vis customers of U.S. Dollar against Japanese Yen at approximately 11 a.m. (Japan Time) on each such day (which average shall be calculated by rounding the arithmetic average of the rates on each such day to the nearest two decimal places);

WHEREAS, the Borrower Parent has agreed to jointly and severally guarantee the repayment of the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Lender has agreed to extend the Loan to the Borrower on the Drawdown Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the mutual agreements hereinafter stated, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

Article 1 Drawdown; Interest

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 (unless waived by the Borrower) and Sections 9.2 and 9.3 of the Purchase Agreement, the Lender shall make the Loan to the Borrower for the purpose of paying a portion of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement and the Borrower shall accept the Loan from the Lender for such purpose. In accordance therewith, each of the Borrower and the Lender acknowledges and agrees that the full amount of the Loan equals the full amount of the Loan Consideration (as defined in Section 1.3(c)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement) and shall be applied directly by the Lender to reduce the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

2

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on the Loan on each interest payment date (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) as set out in the loan payment schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Loan Payment Schedule”) for the relevant interest period (the “Interest Period”) beginning on and including the Drawdown Date (for the first such Interest Period) or beginning on and including the immediately prior Interest Payment Date and ending on but excluding such Interest Payment Date, at a floating rate per annum equal to the sum of three (3)-month U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 two (2) London banking days prior to the beginning of the applicable Interest Period (each such date, an “Interest Rate Setting Date”) plus a spread of one hundred seventy five (175) basis points (1.75%) per annum (“Interest Rate”). For each Interest Period, the applicable Interest Rate shall be reasonably determined by the Lender on each of the Interest Rate Setting Dates as set out in Exhibit A and shall be communicated to the Borrower by the Lender on such date. LIBOR shall mean the three (3)-month LIBOR at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London Time) on the Interest Rate Setting Date. In the event that such rate or screen page from Reuters is not available for any reason, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined by reference to the LIBOR of the immediately preceding London banking day or, if Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 is not generally available, then by reference to the LIBOR determined by another reputable source selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

(c) All payments for interest pursuant to this Article shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Any calculation that would result in a payment that includes a fraction of less than one cent shall be rounded to the nearest cent. In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then such Interest Period and the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law to be closed in the State of New York.

(d) Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date in arrears computed based on the outstanding balance of the Loan, with payments to commence on April 1, 2011.

(e) If the Lender notifies the Borrower in writing (a “Payment Default Notice”) that it has failed to make payment when due of any sum hereunder whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then:

(i) interest shall accrue on the amount of such defaulted payment at the Default Rate (as defined below) from and after the date of such Payment Default Notice to but excluding the date that such defaulted payment is repaid in full; and

3

(ii) if the Borrower has failed to cure such payment default no later than the date (the “Payment Default Date”) that is five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the Payment Default Notice, then the Borrower shall pay the Default Rate on the entire principal amount outstanding under the Loan, payable from and after the Payment Default Date to but excluding the date that such defaulted payment is repaid in full (upon which date the Interest Rate on the Loan shall resume to be the Interest Rate otherwise applicable to the Loan, as provided in Article 1(b)).

As used herein, the “Default Rate” shall mean a rate of interest equal to the Interest Rate otherwise applicable to the Loan as provided in Article 1(b), plus three percent (3.00%) per annum, computed daily on a 360-day basis. The Default Rate payable by the Borrower under this Article 1(e) shall be payable in addition to any principal, interest (without duplication of interest payable by reference to the Default Rate hereunder) and other amounts that may be due and payable under this Agreement.

Article 2 Loan Repayment

The Borrower shall fully pay the Loan within seven (7) years from and after the Drawdown Date. Subject to Article 3, the Loan shall be repaid over twenty seven (27) equal quarterly principal installments of NINE MILLION, FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY U.S. DOLLARS and sixty-five cents (US$ 9,437,870.65), with the balance of ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO MILLION, SIX HUNDRED NINETY-TWO THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN U.S. DOLLARS and fifty-one cents (US$ 122,692,318.51) (the “Final Payment”) to be repaid on January 2, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). Each such quarterly principal installment shall be payable on the applicable loan repayment date (the “Loan Repayment Date”) as set forth in the Loan Repayment Schedule.

Article 3 Voluntary Prepayment; Mandatory Prepayment

(a) The Borrower shall have the option, on any Interest Payment Date after the date of the three (3) year anniversary of the Drawdown Date (including the January 2, 2014 Interest Payment Date, and any Interest Payment Date thereafter), to prepay the Loan, in full or in part, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The Borrower shall give to the Lender written notice of the proposed prepayment (the “First Prepayment Notice”) not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Loan is proposed to be prepaid, which First Prepayment Notice shall state the amount proposed to be prepaid and the proposed prepayment date. The actual amount of the prepayment and the actual date of prepayment (the “Prepayment Date”) shall

4

be confirmed (or modified) in a written notice delivered by the Borrower to the Lender (the “Confirming Prepayment Notice”) not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date stated in the Confirming Prepayment Notice. The Confirming Prepayment Notice may not be revoked or modified.

(ii) The amount payable in respect of each prepayment shall be the full or partial outstanding principal amount of the Loan stated in the Confirming Prepayment Notice plus any accrued but unpaid interest up to but excluding the Prepayment Date.

(iii) The additional conditions for each partial prepayment are: (y) the minimum principal amount to be prepaid shall be TEN MILLION U.S. DOLLARS (US$10,000,000.00); and, (z) the principal of each prepayment shall be applied against the quarterly principal installments of the Loan and the Final Payment in the inverse order of their maturities as set out herein and in the Loan Payment Schedule (i.e., each prepayment shall be applied first against the Final Payment and then against each quarterly principal installment set out in the Loan Payment Schedule, in inverse order).

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender either (i) an irrevocable notice specifying a proposed prepayment date, which date shall be no later than forty-five (45) days from the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control, in which case the Borrower shall repay the Loan, together with any unpaid interest up to but excluding the prepayment date, in full on or before the proposed prepayment date; or (ii) an irrevocable notice describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase the Loan (through Borrower or its designee) on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no later than forty-five (45) days from the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control, in which case, if the Lender has accepted such repurchase offer, the Borrower or such designee shall repurchase the Loan, at a price in cash equal to the outstanding principal amount hereof together with interest on the principal amount up to but not including the date of such repurchase, and the Lender shall sell the Loan and transfer all related loan documents to the Borrower or such designee upon receipt of such purchase price. In the event that the Borrower (itself or through its designee) offers to repurchase the Loan pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) and the Lender does not accept such offer, then the Loan shall remain in place in accordance with the terms hereof.

5

(c) “Change of Control” means (a) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any person or group (within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the U.S., as amended, and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder as in effect on the date hereof) of equity interests representing more than 50% of either the aggregate ordinary voting power or the aggregate equity value of the Borrower Parent and (b) delisting of the Borrower Parent’s common shares from Nasdaq Stock Market.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other document or agreement, upon the Borrower’s written request, (i) the Lender may in its sole discretion permit the voluntary prepayment of the Loan or any part thereof at such time or times as are requested in such Borrower’s request; and (ii) in the event that any portion of the Loan is sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with Article 11 hereof, any Lender may in its sole discretion, and without the consent or participation of any other Lender, permit a voluntary prepayment of the portion of the Loan held by such Lender, or any part thereof, in accordance with this Article 3(d).
