**ARTICLE 4**

**PLANNINGANDCAPACITY ALLOCATION**

**4.1**Forecasts. During**[...***...]**, the Customer will provide NXP with a good-faith, non-binding, **[...***...]** forecast of its anticipated needs for Products to be supplied by NXP, broken down by Product type, taking into account to the extentpracticable **[...***...]** (collectively, “Forecasts”). Subject to Customer’s timely submission of a Forecast, NXP will provide the Customer with an initial response within **[...***...]** after receipt ofsuch a Forecast, which represents NXP’s good faith preliminary estimate as to NXP’s ability to fulfill Customer’s projected Product needs. In the **[...***...]** after receipt of a Forecast, NXP will provide the finalresponse to Customer (the “Confirmed Forecast”). NXP will provide a Confirmed Forecast for **[...***...]** percent (**[...***...]**%) of the volume set forth in Customer’s submitted Forecast (the“Locked Volume”) for the **[...***...]** months of such Forecast (the “Inner Period”); *provided that*: the Locked Volume for each particular Product SKU: (a) in the **[...***...]** monthof the Inner Period does not **[...***...]**; (b) in the **[...***...]** month of the Inner Period does not **[...***...]**; (c) in the **[...***...]** month of the Inner Period does not**[...***...]**; and (d) in the **[...***...]** of the Inner Period does not **[...***...]**; *and, provided further that* (i) for one and the same month, the net

**EXECUTION VERSION**

 
aggregate increases during the Inner Period shall never exceed **[...***...]** of the volume for such month in the last Confirmed Forecast before such month became part of the InnerPeriod (the “**[...***...]** Threshold”); (ii) NXP has available or has access to sufficient die stock and Customer specific materials (such as BGA substrates and leadframes) to satisfy such increased demand;(iii) should Customer reach the **[...***...]** Threshold during the Inner Period, then, during the **[...***...]** day period immediately following the Inner Period, the absolute volume each month during such**[...***...]** day period shall not exceed the volume during the month that reached the **[...***...]** Threshold; (iv) Customer shall avoid submitting Forecasts with arbitrary and inconsistent increases in volume (that is,for reasons not related to meeting the demands of the Customer’s own customers); and (v) if the Customer does not submit a binding Purchase Order for the Locked Volume at least **[...***...]** in advance of the**[...***...]** for which such Locked Volume was forecasted, then, notwithstanding its obligations in Section 5.1, NXP will be entitled to release the uncommitted manufacturing capacity not covered by a binding Purchase Order toits other requirements. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in managing the foregoing Locked Volume process, and NXP shall include in its Confirmed Forecasts for the Inner Period the percentage increase over the previous month’s forecast, inorder to allow Customer to track its position with respect to the **[...***...]** Threshold. For the balance of each Forecast following the Inner Period (the “Outer Period”), if NXP’s response does not confirm**[...***...]**% of the Customer’s demand, the Parties will **[...***...]**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, NXP will provide initial indications of capacity and final Forecast confirmations that reflect theavailability of production capacity consistent with NXP’s minimum production capacity commitments described in Section 5.1 (Capacity Commitment by NXP) and lead times consistent with Section 6.1 (Lead Times). The firstConfirmed Forecast that shall apply at the Effective Date is set forth in Annex F. For the avoidance of doubt, all such Forecasts are non-binding and create no obligation upon the Customer to purchase any Products in the absence of anaccepted Purchase Order. 

**4.2**Die Bank. In addition to initiating production in response toaccepted Purchase Orders, NXP will initiate production or procurement of wafers based on the applicable Confirmed Forecast (or other indication from the Customer therein) in order to maintain a suitable stockpile for future production (the“Die Bank”), but only upon prior approval of the Customer, and further as per the procedures described in Annex G. The Customer and NXP will mutually agree on a smooth and feasible transition plan from current make-to-orderprocess with Trident with no safety stock levels, to a process that allows decoupling at Die Bank with safety stock levels as agreed in this Section 4.2. The Die Bank will (a) be maintained by NXP at its manufacturing location; and(b) have a safety stock level equal to a number of weeks of the Customer’s forecasted demand, as reasonably determined by the Customer. On a quarterly basis, NXP and the Customer will review the safety stock levels. NXP shall only drawupon the Die Bank to the extent necessary to compensate for production or procurement shortfalls as a result of capacity allocation or otherwise at the Customer’s direction, and shall replenish the Die Bank to meet the applicable minimums;*provided, however*, that, if the specific wafers in the Die Bank have not been drawn upon for a period of **[...***...]** months (“Idle Wafers”), the Customer will have an obligation to purchase such wafers within**[...***...]** months thereafter, whereupon NXP shall replenish the Die Bank as necessary to meet the minimums. The Customer may purchase Idle Wafers either by (i) submitting a finished goods Purchase Order in accordance withSection 6.2 (Purchase Orders) below; or (ii) paying NXP for the cost of the Idle Wafer, in which case (1) the Customer will consign such Idle Wafer to NXP; (2) NXP shall store such Idle Wafer in a separate consignment areaof NXP’s manufacturing site, and safeguard it from loss or damage with the same standard of care as NXP uses with respect to its own wafers; and (3) upon NXP’s acceptance of a finished-goods Purchase Order in which such Idle Wafershall be consumed, the Customer shall sell back the Idle Wafer to NXP at the purchase price, whereupon NXP shall issue a credit memo to the Customer in the amount of the purchase price, draw the Idle Wafer out of consignment, and consume such IdleWafer in fulfilling the applicable Purchase Order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all wafers that fall within the definition of “Buy Back

**EXECUTION VERSION**

 
Materials” set forth in Annex H, including **[...***...]**, shall be purchased by the Customer in accordance with the provisions set forth in Annex H. 

**4.3**Wafer Start Planning. At least **[...***...]** per **[...***...]**, the Parties shallmeet and discuss an appropriate number of wafer starts to be initiated by NXP or purchased from Third Party Providers to support the Customer’s demand for Products, taking into account the applicable Confirmed Forecast and the available wafersin the Die Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Customer requests wafer starts that are consistent with the volumes set forth in the applicable Confirmed Forecast, NXP agrees to initiate wafer starts as directed by theCustomer (and will **[...***...]** initiate wafer starts as directed by the Customer in excess of such Confirmed Forecast). Upon production or procurement of the agreed-upon number of wafers, NXP will either (a) consume the wafers inresponse to finished goods Purchase Orders submitted by the Customer pursuant to Section 6.2 (Purchase Orders) and accepted by NXP pursuant to Section 6.3 (Order Acceptance); or (b) in the case of wafers for which theCustomer does not submit a finished goods Purchase Order, deposit such wafers into the Die Bank. 

**4.4**Capacity Allocation. Without limiting NXP’s order acceptance obligations under Section 6.3 (Order Acceptance), in situations where NXP is manufacturing at full capacity and is required to allocate its production capacityamong its fab customers, NXP will offer the Customer the same opportunities as it offers NXP’s best fab customers to receive expedited production (subject to payment of expedite fees, as set forth in Annex C-2, which shall be on par withthe expedite fees charged to such customers). For purposes of this section, “fab customers” include not only NXP’s direct foundry customers (which engage NXP to manufacture such customer’s products on a foundry basis), but alsoNXP’s customers that purchase NXP’s own products manufactured at NXP’s fab. 

**ARTICLE 5**

**MINIMUM CAPACITY COMMITMENT**

**5.1**Capacity Commitment by NXP. Subject to Section 4.4 (Capacity Allocation), NXP agrees thatit shall reserve sufficient production capacity to fabricate and sell to the Customer a volume of Products consistent with the Confirmed Forecast. 

**ARTICLE 6**

**ORDER PROCESS**

**6.1**Lead Times. The total lead time for each Product (including both front-end services and back-endservices) shall not exceed **[...***...]** weeks, with the exception of current Products listed on Annex L and any new products using similar Processes. The back-end (i.e., assembly and final testing) lead time for each Product shallnot **[...***...]** weeks, with the exception of current Products listed on Annex L and any new products using similar Processes. On a **[...***...]** basis, NXP will provide the Customer with the performance of actual leadtime against the set lead time, including an overview on a fab-wide basis (including all queues) of (a) actual fab lead times by process; (b) actual assembly lead times by package family; and (c) forecasted global fab capacity bymanufacturing stage and product or technology, based upon which comparison the Parties will agree on the set lead time for the next **[...***...]**. The Customer will have the right to conduct reasonable audits of such reports. NXP willinform the Customer immediately of any lead time changes arising from unforeseen events. 

**6.2**Purchase Orders. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Customer may submit written purchase orders for Products (“Purchase Orders”) to NXP. For the avoidance of doubt, wafer starts will be initiated inaccordance with the process set forth in Section 4.3 (Wafer Start

Planning), while Purchase Orders will be issued for finished goods (i.e., to initiate back-end production on such wafers). While the Parties may use their standard forms of purchase order andpurchase order acknowledgment for the sake of convenience, no additional or contradictory terms or conditions set forth in such purchase order or acknowledgment shall have any binding effect and are hereby expressly rejected, and the terms andconditions set forth in the body of this Agreement shall exclusively govern the purchase and sale of Products under this Agreement. The minimum-lot and multiple-lot requirements for each Product are set forth in Annex B. With respect to otherProducts that are not listed in Annex B but are comparable to Products listed in Annex B, the minimum-lot and multiple-lot requirements for the comparable listed Products shall apply. 

**6.3**Order Acceptance. Provided that the Customer is current in its payment obligations under thisAgreement, and provided that there are a sufficient number of wafers available to meet the finished goods Purchase Orders (either as a result of the agreed-upon wafer starts in Section 4.3 or through drawing upon the Die Bank), NXP willaccept all Purchase Orders placed with the applicable lead time in accordance with the applicable Confirmed Forecast, and will **[...***...]** accept all other Purchase Orders. Within **[...***...]** Business Days after theCustomer’s submission of a Purchase Order, NXP will notify the Customer whether or not it accepts the Purchase Order and the confirmed delivery date. For all accepted Purchase Orders placed with the applicable lead times (including extendedlead times during periods where manufacturing capacity is on allocation), the delivery date specified by the Customer in the Purchase Order shall be the confirmed delivery date. For all accepted Purchase Orders requesting a delivery date inside theapplicable lead times, NXP will **[...***...]** honor the requested delivery date. 

**6.4**Cancellations. All Purchase Orders submitted by the Customer to NXP shall be binding upon the Customer and irrevocable, except as set forth in this Section. The Customer may cancel any Purchase Order for which work has not yet started,either (a) without penalty, upon written agreement of NXP; or (b) by giving written notice to NXP and paying a cancellation fee in the amount of **[...***...]** percent (**[...***...]**%) of the purchase price of thecancelled Products. Once work has commenced, the Customer may only cancel a Purchase Order upon written agreement of NXP and by (i) giving written notice to NXP; (ii) paying a cancellation fee in the amount of **[...***...]**percent (**[...***...]**%) of the purchase price of the cancelled Products; and (iii) reimbursing NXP for **[...***...]**; *provided, however*, that NXP shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to exercise anyreturn or cancellation rights that may be available to it and otherwise mitigate such costs. 

**6.5**Rescheduling. Upon written notice to NXP and without penalty, the Customer may reschedule delivery of some or all Products under any Purchase Order for which work has started, provided the rescheduled delivery date is a later date withinthe same calendar quarter as the original confirmed delivery date. 

**6.6**Trident Risk WIP. Forpurposes of this section, “Trident Risk WIP” means any work-in-progress for the Products that (a) was in NXP’s possession as of the Effective Date; and (b) was not purchased by the Customer as part of its prepayment processdescribed in Article 1 of the Support Agreement. If the Customer purchases any Trident Risk WIP from Trident (or a third party) under a separate arrangement between the Customer and Trident (or such third party), then the Customer may from time totime place finished-goods Purchase Orders for Products that will be manufactured using the Trident Risk WIP. NXP will accept such Purchase Orders (subject to Section 6.3 above) and will use the Trident Risk WIP to manufacture Products.The pricing for all such Purchase Orders shall be equal to the pricing for the specific remaining finished-goods steps required for NXP to complete the Products from the Trident Risk WIP.
