Joint Development and Exclusive Supply Agreement



 Exhibit 10.54 
 JOINT DEVELOPMENT AND EXCLUSIVE SUPPLY AGREEMENT 
 BETWEEN

 MEASUREMENT SPECIALTIES, INC. 
 AND 
 TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED 
 Parties and Effective Date 
 This agreement,
between Texas Instruments Incorporated, Automotive Sensors & Controls, of Attleboro MA (TI) and Measurement Specialties, Inc. of Fairfield NJ (MSI) shall have an effective date of 01 July 98. 
 Background 
 MSI is engaged in the design,
development, engineering, and manufacture of microfused strain gage sensor elements and completed pressure sensors used in the commercial and industrial markets. 
 TI is engaged in the design, development, engineering and manufacture of pressure sensors using solid state technology and processes for the automotive, commercial and industrial markets. 
 Purpose 
 TI and MSI desire to establish a
cooperative relationship to design and develop the next generation pressure sensors for high volume automotive applications, with the first focus being on the emerging small form factor brake pressure transducer (BPT) market. The commercial
relationship at the outset will be one of joint development, but it is expected to evolve to a larger more complementary strategic alliance as the efforts provide a return on investment and as each party becomes more familiar with the competencies
of the other. 
 Scope of Project 
 This Agreement shall be performed in phases. Projects include the creation of pre-prototype, prototype and production Products incorporating piezoresistive transducers glass bonded to metal diaphragms (“Subassemblies”).

 TI will provide developmental funding and other appropriate resources to MSI in support of the BPT project, with progress payments being made
at agreed upon milestones. Under such an arrangement TI will have the exclusive right to use this technology on all automotive (passenger, light truck and sport utility vehicles) brake and transmission applications, with the potential to extend this
exclusivity to other automotive market segments as the business potential is better understood. Notwithstanding the above, should TI and MSI not have developed an active transmission program by December 31,1999 or should TI become inactive in
its efforts to develop transmission programs for a period of more than twelve (12) months, MSI shall have the right to reassess TI’s exclusivity for the transmission market subject to good faith discussions with TI which will take into
account market conditions for the product.

 MSI will remain open to granting exclusivity to TI in other automotive market segments during the term of
this agreement to the extent possible, subject to MSI’s obligations with other customers with which work was begun prior to exclusivity between TI and MSI. TI shall have the right of first refusal to obtain exclusivity in the diesel common
rail, and direct gasoline injection automotive market segments. TI will have 30 days to negotiate this right after being informed by MSI of its intention to grant such exclusivity (the parties agree that such negotiations shall take into account
prior and projected funding by TI). TI may negotiate for exclusivity in other automotive segments as the opportunity arises. MSI will consider TI as a preferred party and will work with TI preferentially whenever possible as new market opportunities
arise. 
 Exclusivity will be based on TI continuing to remain committed to the program, providing an agreed upon level of NRE and purchasing
product as described in Attachment A. 
 NRE will be disbursed in progress payments when to-be-determined mutually agreed upon milestones are
achieved. In the event TI does not deliver NRE funding it can lose its exclusive status, but it will retain access to MSI Subassemblies at a to be agreed upon pricing. 
 In the event TI does not deliver the product purchases, at its option it can make payments as mutually agreed upon to offset the shortfall to maintain its exclusive status. 
 MSI will develop and fulfill a resource staffing plan commensurate with TI funding commitments and the required developmental efforts to be accomplished,
and it is expected MSI will continue to make appropriate staffing decisions as TI/market success increases. MSI agrees to provide periodic updates regarding resource staffing plans and allocations. 
 MSI will support development of these sensors and will set up to manufacture Subassemblies in support of TI forecasted volumes and at quality levels
suitable for automotive sensors. It is anticipated that MSI will supply a gaged and pretested sensor Subassembly with an option for statistical compensation. 
 The team’s goal is to develop Subassemblies (strain gages bonded to the metal front end) which meets TI’s $1.25 target price in calendar year 2001 volumes of 1 M units. It is understood that
this price will be downward trending over time. In the event it becomes evident that the target price will not be met, NRE funding can be suspended at TI’s sole discretion, and the parties agree to mutually re-evaluate the price target and
negotiate a continued relationship. TI also reserves the right, in the event the target price, quality or performance is not met, to terminate the agreement with no requirements for compensation to MSI except for the royalty payment hereinafter
described in this Agreement. 
 Each party will contribute its expertise (TI in analog circuitry, channel to market, application expertise, high
volume manufacturing, automotive product development, etc, and MSI in strain gage sensing know-how, and strain gage bonding, etc,) to the effort. 
  

 August 20, 1998

 With the expectation that MSI’s development effort results in a Subassembly which will meet or beat the
above target price, meet or exceed the performance requirements in TI specification EX3584-25 as finally agreed upon and customer mandated specifications (nominally, the +/- 2.3% accuracy) or any ensuing changes in these specifications to which both
parties have agreed, and demonstrate suitable process capability, then TI agrees during the term of this agreement, or in any event not later than July 1, 2008, to source all (subject to the next paragraph) of its Subassembly requirements from
MSI for piezoresistive transducers glass bonded to metal diaphragms. 
 Should customer requirements dictate North American or European
manufacture of some Subassemblies, TI may manufacture a maximum of twenty percent (20%) of its Subassemblies provided that it pays quarterly to MSI a royalty of the lower of nine cents ($0.09) or seven percent (7%) of the Net Sales Price
of the lowest Subassembly price per Subassembly charged to TI by MSI in the quarter. In the event twenty percent (20%) is insufficient to support customers requirements, MSI agrees to renegotiate this share to allow TI to meet its
customers’ needs. In the event of an interruption of supply due to political reasons or acts of God or MSI’s inability to supply Subassemblies, TI may manufacture up to one hundred percent (100%) of its Subassemblies during the period
of interruption provided it pays the royalty. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, if the contract should terminate for any
reason, if applicable, a royalty of the lower of nine cents ($0.09) per Subassembly or seven percent (7%) of the Net Sales Price attributable to the Subassemblies will be paid by TI to MSI for a period of seven years from the effective date of
this agreement. 
 Forecasted volumes, based on present day knowledge, of brake and transmission pressure transducers covered by this agreement
for the initial years of the agreement are projected in Attachment B. 
 TI remains open to the idea of MSI, or a joint TI/MSI effort, providing
some percentage of the finished product (i.e., “Sensor”) requirements to the automotive marketplace from China at a to be determined time. Notwithstanding the above, MSI agrees during the term of this Agreement in which there is an
exclusivity arrangement between the two Parties not to make and/or sell any air conditioning pressure sensing products for automotive applications.

 AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE 1998 JOINT DEVELOPMENT AND 
 EXCLUSIVE SUPPLY AGREEMENT 
 BETWEEN 
 MEASUREMENT SPECIALTIES, INC. 
 AND 
 TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED 
 This Agreement between Texas Instruments Incorporated, Sensors and Controls business, having a place of business in Attleboro, MA (“TI”) and
Measurement Specialties, Inc. of Fairfield, NJ (“MSI”) has an effective date of May 10, 2002. 
 Purpose

 It is intended by the parties that they herein clarify certain items from their Joint Development and Exclusive Supply Agreement,
effective 1 July 1998, (“the 98 Agreement”) and provide amendments reflecting agreements and practices since 1 July 1998. 
 Scope of Project 
 This Section is expanded to include the following new paragraphs: 
 License Grant – MSI has granted to TI exclusive licenses to the following automotive (passenger, light truck and sport utility
vehicles) application markets: braking, transmission, common rail diesel and gasoline direct injection. These licenses are irrevocable, during the term of the agreement, except in the event of an uncured material breach by TI, and terminate upon
termination of the 98 Agreement and this Amendment, but may be subject to royalty payments as described in the 98 Agreement. TI will, per the terms of the 98 Agreement, purchase its SEA requirements for sensors sold in the licensed fields above from
MSI (except for those volumes internally produced per the provision found in Second Source below) for piezoresistive transducers glass bonded to metal diaphragms during the term of this term of the 98 Agreement. MSI agrees to supply SEAs to TI to
meet TI’s requirements during the term of the 98 Agreement and to sell SEAs exclusively to TI within the above licensed fields. TI will incorporate those SEAs into its sensor products and sell these products in all the above licensed fields. TI
will only use the licenses to make the SEAs in the event of an uncured material breach of MSI, MSI’s termination of the 98 Agreement for a reason other then an uncured material breach by TI, or pursuant to the Second Source as described below.
MSI confirms that TI has, to date, met the conditions called for in the 98 Agreement to maintain the exclusive status of the grants listed above. 







 MSI will sell SEA’s to TI nonexclusively for any market application. The pricing is
based on the cost variables of aggregate annual volume and port geometry for each SEA and then applying a not-to-exceed gross margin percentage as follows: 
  

				
	 Annual Volume
	  	Gross Margin*	 
	 <1KU
	  	60	% 
	 1KU to 10KU
	  	50	% 
	 10KU to 100KU
	  	45	% 
	 100KU to 500KU
	  	40	% 
	 >500KU
	  	35	% 

  

	*	Gross margin is defined as MSI standard cost (material, dir labor, labor OH, yield, QA) which does not include engineering, SG&A, and R&D.


 Excluded from the price table above are; 1) Domestic applications in stationary and transport refrigeration, the
gross margin is not-to-exceed 70% and 2) Domestic applications in paint sprayers, the gross margin is not-to-exceed 90%. 
 MSI
and TI agree to have discussions in the future regarding a potential joint venture for industrial applications, regarding MSI private labeling TI MSG product for low volume/nonstrategic applications to TI, and regarding TI potential interest in
converting a nonexclusive market segment into an exclusive segment. TI’s current intent is to use MSI SEA’s with our automotive ASIC’s for the next couple years but does reserve the right to use other signal conditioning as needed.

 Second Source – Although TI has no immediate intention to second source and expects to buy all of its requires for
SEA’s from MSI indefinitely, MSI recognizes that TI may require a second source of production to satisfy its customers. Accordingly, MSI grants to TI an “Option”; granting TI a license to produce internally (“Second Sourced
Production”) SEAs. TI agrees to purchase SEAs from MSI at volumes in support of an MSI automotive business share of not less than 60% annually or 7M units (i.e. whichever is greater). By this agreement TI purchases an “Option” which
grants TI the right to produce second sourced SEAs to cover all or a portion of volumes above this 60% minimum share level annually or 7M units (i.e. whichever is greater). TI shall be required to pay for exclusivity the higher of $.05 or
5% per SEA to MSI for such Second Sourced Production. Unless unusual circumstances make it commercially unreasonable, TI will provide MSI with notice eighteen (18) months in advance or as soon as the decision has been made, whichever is
greater, prior to commencing Second Sourced Production. 
 In the event that MSI “Like” SEA’s surface
competitively in the exclusive markets we serve, the above exclusivity payments would be subject to re-evaluation. 
 Option
Price: 
  

	 	1)	Purchase of the Second Source Option   $25,000 ** 

  

	 	2)	Exercise of the Second Source Option   $250,000.** ($250,000.00 to be paid $100,000.00 at time of Exercise and then in increments of $50,000.00 for each
1 million SEA’s of TI manufacture until total of $250,000.00 is achieved) 

  
  

	**	Payment terms for Option above, 

 Purchase of Option: payable upon signing of this agreement, 







 Exercising of Option: payable 30 days after exercise 
 Pricing – The parties acknowledge that product pricing remains critical to marketplace success. Sense Element Assembly
(“SEA”) (formerly referred to as “Subassemblies” in the 98 Agreement) design and volume projections must remain the drivers to future pricing with continuous improvement strategies in place. Attachment “A” to this
amendment contains the agreed to pricing for calendar years 2003 and 2004. Pricing for 2005 and beyond will decline with increasing annual production and expected efficient asset/capacity utilization, annually (each year lower then the year before)
from the agreed levels for 2004. Declining SEA Pricing for 2005 and beyond would be required to target expected TI end Market/Customer Driven Product cost reductions (i.e. estimated as between 2 to 8% annually) as the minimum objective. 

It is understood that the port pricing has to date achieved substantial reduction, and that both parties will need to work together to
further develop cost reduction potential and consequently the pricing target may need to be separated between the port content and non-port content of the total price. 
 Status of the Joint Development Project 
  

	 	•	 	 Product purchases outlined in 98 Agreement have been exceeded. The parties acknowledge that process and quality development are proceeding at
acceptable levels and continue to improve. Teamwork and trust have been excellent. 


  

	 	•	 	 Notwithstanding that the original $1.25 price target for the “BPT” sensor for the first one (1) million units has not been met, and
acknowledging that the changes in the port configuration and material cost were significant factors in not meeting the original price target, all terms of the 98 Agreement remain in full force, except as modified herein, and TI agrees not to
terminate the 98 Agreement on this basis. 


  

	 	•	 	 Based on progress to date, it is agreed that the parties will convene by July 1st annually to decide on extending the agreement by an additional 1 year. The first such meeting will take place before
July 1, 2003. 


 Other 
 The other provisions of the 98 Agreement remain in effect.  
 Supply Agreement

 The parties intend to negotiate a Supply Agreement for SEAs to replace and expand upon the supply terms provided for in the 98
Agreement and this amendment, but in a manner not inconsistent with the intent of the 98 Agreement and subsequent course of conduct between the parties.

	1.	Open Items to be negotiated and mutually agreed upon: 

 Port Cost Reductions Sharing on improvements beyond above Port Matrix (CR can be H.T. elim.; Raw Mat’l; Productivity, Bippus, etc.) 
 Payment timing and trigger levels to be agreed upon should volumes reach either 85% or 115% levels 

	2.	Per Glen MacGibbon 3/27/02 - Annual Volume; As you can see our price is dependant upon volume, and we have provided prices based upon; 100%, 115%, and 85% respectively
of the TI forecast as we agreed during our meeting on March 14, 2002. 


	3.	Per Glen MacGibbon 3/27/02 - Heat Treatment: by eliminating the heat treatment process, the price will be reduced by $0.03 per unit. This reduction is already assumed
in the price column for “JL elimination of heat treatment” machined ports 


	4.	Per Glen MacGibbon 3/27/02 - JL Machining Ports: For every port JL machines, it is estimated that TI would save on average of $0.05 per port. This is our best estimate
based upon machine times quoted from the machine tool supplier. As soon as the machine is up and running in JL, we will immediately confirm the price savings. This option will be capacity limited based upon the total amount of machines to be located
at JL.
