[*]
[*]
[*]
[*] and above
[*]


Pricing will be reviewed and mutually agreed to in writing on an annual basis.
For WAFERS in ENGINEERING PRODUCTION, the price for each entry of the above table will be multiplied by [*].
The above prices are the WAFER'S BASE_ PRICE and are based on an exchange rate of [*] ¥/$. The fluctuation in foreign exchange rate, as supplied by the Wall Street Journal will be shared equally by each party as follows F/X_BASE = [*]¥/$

Initial F/X_RATE = [*] ¥/$

A new F/X_RATE is only established at the time of placing a PO for WAFERS if the [*] is equal to or greater than [*]¥ from the F/X-BASE. The new F/X RATE will be set to the [*] and will remain in effect for at least the [*] it was established.

The actual PURCHASE_PRICE for WAFERS, by WAFER TYPE, used at the time of order will be calculated by the following formula:

PURCHASE _PRICE =
[*]


Examples: For DS WAFERS with a BASE PRICE of [*]
1.
Nominal F/X Rate Example: F/X_RATE = in the range of [*]¥ to [*]¥:
PURCHASE_PRICE = BASE_ PRICE

2.
Higher F/X Rate Example: New F/X_RATE = [*]¥:
PURCHASE_PRICE = [*] = [*]

3.
Lower F/X Rate Example: New F/X_RA TE = [*]¥:
PURCHASE_PRICE = [*] = [*].
