Subject: Capacitor Forecast

Dear Mr. Rusin

As per our conversation on December 3rd, 2004 and pursuant to the WGT pricing
proposal supplement dated November 8, 2004. Guidant is issuing the following
intent to procure capacitors from WGT.

Guidant intends to purchase as a minimum, * capacitors (includes all models
except *) at a rate of */wk commencing the first week of January 2005 and will
remain in effect for the next 25 weeks, at a unit cost of $* each.

It is then our intent to purchase as a minimum * capacitors (includes all models
except *) at a rate of */wk for the remaining 26 weeks in 2005 at a unit cost of
$* each.

Any additional capacitor orders placed by Guidant during 2005 will be priced per
the appropriate subsequent purchase order table relating to a * initial
commitment. This table is located in the WGT pricing proposal supplement dated
November 8, 2004.

It is our intent, to formalize the above with a written purchase order before
the end of December 2004.

Sincerely
Mr. Michael Malecha

     Supplement to Wet Tantalum Capacitor 04 November 2004 Pricing Proposal

                                08 November 2004

I.            Introduction
              This Supplement outlines a special offer to GDT for capacitor
              pricing in 2005 only. It is linked to the WG / GDT Wet Tantalum
              Capacitor 2005 Pricing Proposal dated 04 November 2004 and offers
              opportunity for additional price discounts to GDT for capacitors
              purchased under the terms of Option "A". Under the terms of this
              Supplement, WG is offering additional discounts from pricing
              offered in the 04 November Proposal if GDT commits to additional
              level-loaded capacitor volume over specific and defined periods of
              time. This special pricing offered in this Supplement applies to
              capacitor models * only. Pricing for capacitor models * remains as
              offered in the 04 November Proposal.

II.           Execution
              Capacitor pricing established under Option "A" of the 04 November
              Proposal is dependent upon a Baseline Minimum unit volume
              commitment made for 2005 by GDT. Under the terms of Option "A",
              additional orders beyond the initial Baseline Minimum can only be
              ordered in increments of * units. Additional unit orders may be
              scheduled for delivery at any time; however, all orders must be
              delivered and invoiced to GDT before 31 December 2005. Lead-time
              requirements apply.

              Under the terms of this Supplement, GDT may receive special
              pricing for models *. Special pricing is offered only if
              additional unit order volume is level loaded over a defined
              quarterly basis, thus temporarily increasing the minimum weekly
              pull rate for an entire quarter or quarters. Lead-time
              requirements noted under the terms of Option "A" also apply;
              therefore, an advance commitment by GDT must be made in order to
              secure the special pricing offered in this Supplement. Additional
              quantities that are not level-loaded on a quarterly basis (order
              "spikes") may be ordered under the terms of Option "A" of the 04
              November Proposal. Pricing is repeated in the tables in this
              Supplement.

              Special pricing offered in this Supplement for additional
              level-loaded capacitor volume commitments beyond a Secured
              Baseline Minimum unit volume is shown in the tables on pages 2 and
              3 of this document. As in the 04 November proposal, pricing for
              all additional unit volumes is dependent upon the Secured Baseline
              Minimum commitment made by GDT.

WGT GDT Cap
Proposal 04NOV04.d.
                           Janine,

Attached is a revised capacitor pricing proposal that reflects the items from
our discussion yesterday. New pricing schedules were added for Option "A" to
allow for additional unit volume orders after establishment of minimum base
volume. Lead times were added to reflect our ability to respond. Note that these
key revisions: In this proposal, additional unit volumes must be placed in
minimum increments of * units. An incremental order of * offers a more
attractive price, but does not get you to the more favorable price level that
you would have enjoyed had you made a higher unit volume commitment at the
beginning of the year. Also, additional unit volumes beyond baseline are not
tied to * month periods. You have flexibility to take them at any time during
the calendar year (respecting lead times). Finally, as with the other proposals,
there is no opportunity for retro-active pricing (rebate). Call with questions.
Thanks.

                  Wet Tantalum Capacitor 2005 Pricing Proposal
                                04 November 2004


I.           Effective Dates
             The pricing shown in this proposal is effective on the latter date
             of 02 January 2005 or the date of execution of this Agreement.
             Pricing expires on 31 December 2005.

II.          Execution
             Pricing to be established is dependent upon Guidant's selection of
             Option "A" or Option "B" outlined below. Option "A" requires an
             annual Baseline quantity in the form of a secured weekly volume
             commitment from Guidant. Option "B" does not require an annual
             Baseline quantity commitment from Guidant. Option "B" pricing is
             purchase order volume dependent.

III.         Option "A" Terms - Secured Baseline Volume Commitment
             Pricing for individual modes is determined by the Baseline minimum
             unit volume commitment made by Guidant (annual volume). Total order
             volume for all models establishes Baseline and is to be indicated
             on a firm non-cancelable purchase order provided by GDT to WG.

               1.   GDT will establish a Baseline volume by making a minimum
                    volume commitment to WG for capacitors per Option "A"
                    Pricing Tables shown below

               2.   Minimum volume commitments reflect annual quantities to be
                    shipped to Guidant in minimum weekly increments

               3.   Pricing for all volumes of individual models is determined
                    by Option "A" Pricing Tables shown below

               4.   Once the Baseline Minimum volume is established, additional
                    quantities may be ordered at a unit price that corresponds
                    to the annual Baseline Minimum volume commitment made by GDT

               5.   Additional unit orders beyond initial Baseline Minimum can
                    only be ordered in increments of * units. Additional orders
                    must be secured by a firm non-cancelable purchase order
                    provided by GDT to WG

               6.   A minimum order quantity of * units per model is required

               7.   Orders must be * weeks firm

               8.   Lead time per order as follows:
                    a.   * weeks for increases up to * of annual Baseline
                         Minimum
                    b.   * weeks for increases> * of annual Baseline Minimum

               9.   Volume indicated on all firm purchase orders must be
                    delivered and invoiced to GDT before 31 December 2005

               10.  Price premium will apply for non-standard termination or
                    packaging
