to as “AOS”) and PROMATE ELECTRONIC CO., LTD., a Taiwanese company, with its principal office at 4F, No. 32, Sec. 1, Huan Shan Road, Nei Hu, Taipei, Taiwan (hereinafter referred to as the “Distributor”).

 RECITAL 
 WHEREAS, Distributor has been, and desires to continue to be, a nonexclusive distributor of AOS for certain power semiconductor products; AOS wishes to sell its products through Distributor on a
continuing basis on the terms and conditions set forth below. 
 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants, AOS and the Distributor agree as follows: 
 1. DEFINITIONS 
 1.1
“Confidential Information” of a party shall mean any information disclosed by that party to the other party pursuant to this Agreement which is in written, graphic, machine readable or other tangible form and is marked
“Confidential,” “Proprietary” or in some other manner to indicate its confidential nature. Confidential Information may also include oral information disclosed by one party to the other pursuant to this Agreement, provided that
such information is designated as confidential at the time of disclosure and is reduced to writing by the disclosing party within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) after its oral disclosure, and such writing is marked in a
manner to indicate its confidential nature and delivered to the receiving party. 
 1.2 “Customers” shall mean
the purchasers of the Products whose principal offices and operations are located in the Territory. 
 1.3 “DSSL
Products” shall mean those Products according to the Distributor Standard Stock List or “DSSL”, as AOS and the Distributor shall maintain and modify from time to time. 
 1.4 “House Accounts” shall mean those Customers in the Territory who purchase Products directly from AOS. House Accounts
designated by AOS at the time of execution of this Agreement are set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, which may be amended or updated by AOS from time to time at its sole discretion. 
 1.5 “Non-standard Products” shall mean those Products not referenced in the DSSL that require special testing, packaging or
otherwise to be modified as requested by the Distributor and approved by AOS in writing. 
 1.6 “Proprietary
Rights” shall mean all rights in the Products and AOS’s Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, know-how, show-how, and trade secrets, irrespective of whether such rights
arise under U.S. or international intellectual property, unfair competition or trade secret laws. 







 1.7 “Products” shall mean the products offered by AOS for sale to the
Distributor; the Products shall include DSSL Products and Non-standard Products set forth in Exhibit A, which shall be amended or updated by AOS from time to time. 
 1.8 “Territory” shall mean the geographic area of Asia. 
 2. APPOINTMENT 

 2.1 Appointment of Nonexclusive Distributor. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, AOS appoints the
Distributor, and the Distributor hereby accepts such appointment, as AOS’S non-exclusive authorized distributor for sale of the Products to the Customers (other than House Account) in the Territory (as these terms are defined in
Section 1.8, above). 
 2.2 Designation of House Account. In the event AOS notifies the Distributor that AOS has
designated a Customer of the Distributor as a new House Account, such Customer will become a House Account effective Ninety (90) days following such notice. At AOS’s sole discretion, AOS may compensate the Distributor for extraordinary
sales and distribution efforts rendered prior to the designation of the new House Account. 
 3. DISTRIBUTOR RESPONSIBILITIES 

3.1 Market Promotion. The Distributor shall use its best efforts, consistent with prudent business practice, and shall devote such
time as may be commercially reasonably necessary, to conduct an aggressive marketing and selling program and to promote the sale of the Products. 
 3.2 No Product Change. The Distributor shall not modify or change the Products in any way without the express prior written consent of AOS. 
 3.3 Conflict of Interest. The Distributor shall not, during the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly market, sell,
distribute, solicit orders within the Territory for any products which are competitive with the Products unless AOS consents thereto in writing in advance, based upon the Distributor’s full disclosure of the material facts in seeking such
consent. Any such marketing, sale, distribution or solicitation of the competitive products is considered to be a material breach of this Agreement. 
 3.4 Reports. Distributor shall submit periodical reports according to Exhibit C. 
 3.5 Compliance with Laws. The Distributor shall comply at its own expense with all applicable laws and regulations currently existing in the Territory relating to the sale, distribution and promotion of the Products. Distributor
shall not export, directly or indirectly, any Products or related information without first obtaining all required licenses and approvals from the appropriate government agencies. 
 3.6 Feedbacks. The Distributor shall provide AOS with prompt written notification of any comments or complaints about the Products
that are made by Customers, and of any problems with the Products or their use that the Distributor becomes aware of. Such written notification shall be the property of AOS, and shall be considered to be part of AOS’s Confidential Information.

 3.7 Referral. The Distributor agrees to refer all prospective customers to AOS when the Distributor cannot
aggressively pursue distribution to such customers because of geographic location or any other reason; if the Distributor cannot aggressively pursue distribution because of price and/or volume, the parties will negotiate a reasonable referral fee to
be mutually agreed upon. The Distributor shall also refer directly to AOS inquiries relating to bundling, partnership or other business opportunities with third party vendors, hardware and system manufacturers and software developers. 
  

 2 








 3.8 Inventory. The Distributor shall maintain an inventory of Products in reasonably
sufficient quantities to provide adequate and timely delivery to the Customers. At a minimum, such inventory shall include not less than the quantity of Products necessary to meet Distributor’s reasonably anticipated demands for a thirty
(30) day period. 
 3.9 Audits. AOS shall be entitled at any time to audit the Distributor’s books and records
upon reasonable notice in order to confirm the accuracy of the Reports set forth in Section 3.4; provided, that no more than one such audit may be conducted in any three-month period. Any AOS-elected audit shall be performed at AOS’s own
expense during normal business hours; Distributor shall provide reasonable assistance to AOS for the audit. Additionally, the Distributor shall provide AOS with its audited financial statements within three (3) months of the end of its fiscal
year. 
 4. ORDERS AND ACCEPTANCE 
 4.1 Rolling Forecast. The Distributor shall provide AOS at least one month in advance with a good faith rolling quarterly sales forecast for the units of the Products to be provided by AOS to the
Distributor hereunder during each month in such calendar quarter. 
 4.2 Purchase Orders. The Distributor shall initiate
purchases under this Agreement by submitting written purchase orders (each, an “Order”) to AOS. Such orders shall state unit quantities, unit descriptions, requested delivery dates, and shipping instructions. No purchase order shall
be binding upon AOS until accepted by AOS in writing. AOS reserves the right to reject orders in whole or in part. Partial shipment of an order shall not constitute acceptance of the entire order. In the event that AOS is unable to fill an accepted
purchase order in accordance with the schedule set forth therein, AOS will use commercially reasonable efforts to fill such order on an allotment basis. This Agreement shall govern all orders placed by the Distributor for units of the Product. No
terms on purchase orders, invoices or like documents produced by the Distributor shall alter or add to the terms of this Agreement. Any other terms and conditions of sale in conflict with or inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, whether contained in the Distributor’s preprinted forms or otherwise, notwithstanding AOS’s acceptance otherwise, shall have no force or effect to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency. 
 4.3 Order Requirements. The Distributor’s single purchase order amount shall be in multiples of the unit quantity calculated in
numbers of cartons according to specifications of AOS set forth in Exhibit A. Orders for less than unit quantity multiples will be increased without prior notice to the next larger multiple. Non-standard Products may have higher minimum purchase
requirements as determined by AOS. 
 4.4 Lead Time. The Distributor shall submit purchase orders to AOS in accordance
with a lead time of twenty-eight (28) to one hundred and twenty (120) days according to the schedule advised by AOS. In no event shall the lead time for Non-standard Products be less than two (2) months. AOS shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to deliver units of Product at the times set forth in AOS’s written acceptances of the Distributor’s purchase orders. 
 4.5 Demonstration Units. Orders by Distributor for samples and/or pilot run may be subject to smaller amount and shorter cycle time as shall be requested by Distributor and accepted by AOS. In such
cases, products may be ordered in multiples of smaller units (calculated in number of reels or tubes), and in no events shall exceed three such units. 
 5. PRICES; PRICE CHANGES; SPECIAL PRICING 
 5.1 AOS Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Distributor shall pay for the Products at the then current price of AOS (the “AOS Price”) at the time of placement of the Order. 
 5.2 Price Change. AOS shall have the right to revise AOS Price at any time. Price changes shall apply to all purchase orders received after the effective date with the notice, except that any price
increase shall be effective immediately upon notice to Distributor and apply to those accepted but undelivered orders. 
  

 3 








 5.3 Special Pricing. Notwithstanding the AOS Price, special pricing on any one of the
Products may be extended to the Distributor, in AOS sole discretion, in situations where special pricing is necessary for the Distributor to obtain sale of the Products to a Customer. If AOS elects to extend such special pricing, it will issue a
confidential meet comp quote number documenting the special price quoted. Upon receipt of the meet comp quote number, the Distributor may ship the Products to the Customer from stock and debit AOS for the difference between their invoiced amount,
less any prior credits granted by AOS, and the new special pricing. The meet comp quote number shall be included on all such debits. 
 5.4 Taxes. All AOS Prices are exclusive of any export, withholding, federal, state and local taxes, duties or excises other than taxes based on AOS’s net income. If AOS pays any taxes, duties or excises which are not included in
the fees charged for the Product, AOS shall itemize such taxes, duties or excises as a separate item on its invoices to the Distributor, and the Distributor shall reimburse AOS for such taxes, duties or excises; provided, that the Distributor shall
not be required to make any such reimbursement if it provides a valid tax exemption certificate to AOS prior to shipment. 
 6. TERMS OF
PAYMENT 
 6.1 Payment Terms. AOS shall submit an invoice to the Distributor upon shipment of Products to the
Distributor. The invoice shall state the amount to be paid by the Distributor for all Products in such shipment, as well as any taxes, duties or excises paid by AOS which shall be reimbursed by the Distributor in accordance with Section 5.4.
Terms of payment shall be net thirty (30) days. All payments shall be in U.S. Dollars. 
 7. DELIVERY 
 7.1 Packing and Shipping. All Products to the Distributor shall be packaged in AOS’s standard containers, or, at the
Distributor’s expense, in accordance with instructions provided by the Distributor, and shall be shipped to the Distributor’s address set forth above, or to an address specified in the purchase order. Unless otherwise agreed, shipment
shall conform to AOS’s standard shipping procedures CFR Hong Kong (“Delivery Point”), or such terms as both shall agree. Title and risk of loss shall pass to the Distributor at the Delivery Point. All customs duties, freight,
insurance and other shipping expenses from the Delivery Point, as well as any other special packing expenses requested by the Distributor, shall be borne by the Distributor. The Distributor agrees to satisfy all import formalities pertaining to
shipment of units of the Product to destinations outside the United States. 
 7.2 Inspection and Acceptance. The
Distributor shall have thirty (30) days (the “Inspection Period”) upon receipt of each shipment to inspect and test the Products. If the Distributor determines any unit of Products defective, the Distributor shall promptly
notify AOS of such defects. Defective Products may be returned for retest, evaluation and examination subject to AOS Returned Material Authorization (“RMA”) procedure; provided, that such written notification and request for an RMA
number must be received by AOS during the Inspection Period. Returns must be prepaid by Distributor. When requesting a return authorization, Distributor must supply Distributor’s purchase order number and AOS’s invoice number. Product
description must include lot number and wafer numbers. 
 7.3 Exclusion. AOS will inspect all Products returned pursuant
to the foregoing RMA procedures, and AOS will not replace products where the defect is due to misuse, neglect, alteration or improper storage by the Distributor. 
 8. PROPRIETY RIGHTS 
 8.1 Acknowledgement. The Distributor
acknowledge and agree that AOS owns all of the Proprietary Rights. The use by the Distributor of the Proprietary Rights is authorized only for the purposes herein set forth and upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, such authorization
will cease. 
  

 4 








 8.2 No Other Rights. The Distributor may not, directly or through any person or
entity, in any form or manner, copy, distribute, reproduce, incorporate, use or allow access to the Products or modify, prepare derivative works of, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code or object code
from the Products, except as explicitly permitted under this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing. 
 8.3 Proprietary
Notice. The Distributor will ensure that all copies of the Products will incorporate copyright and other proprietary notices in the same manner that AOS incorporates such notices in the Products or in any manner reasonably requested by AOS. The
Distributor will not remove any copyright or other proprietary notices incorporated on or in the Products by AOS. 
 8.4 Use
of Trademarks. During the term of this Agreement, the Distributor may (i) announce to the public that it is an authorized non-exclusive the Distributor of the Products, and (ii) advertise the Products under the trademarks, service
marks, marks, and trade names that AOS may adopt from time to time (the “AOS Trademarks”). AOS shall provide the Distributor AOS Trademarks on disk or camera-ready art for production. The Distributor understands that AOS has applied
for applicable federal and state registration of certain of its trademarks and agrees, upon AOS’s request, to so indicate on the box containing the Products and in any advertisement, promotional materials or other documents that contain the
Products’ names. Nothing herein will grant to the Distributor any right, title or interest in AOS Trademarks. At no time during or after the term of this Agreement will the Distributor challenge or assist others to challenge AOS Trademarks or
the registration thereof or attempt to register any trademarks, marks or trade names confusingly similar to those of AOS. The Distributor shall follow reasonable trademark usage guidelines communicated by AOS. 
 8.5 Use of Trade Names. The Distributor will present and promote the sale of the Products fairly. The Distributor may use AOS’s
product names in the Distributor’s advertising and promotional media provided (i) that the Distributor conspicuously indicates in all such media that such names are trademarks of AOS and (ii) that the Distributor submits all such
media to AOS for prior approval and complies with the requirements set forth in subparagraph (d) above. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Distributor will immediately cease all use of Products’ names and AOS Trademarks
and, at the Distributor’s election, destroy or deliver to AOS all materials in the Distributor’s control or possession which bear such names and trademarks, including any sales literature. The Distributor will not challenge any
intellectual property rights claimed by AOS in such trademarks. 
 9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
 9.1 Nondisclosure, Non Use. Each party shall treat as confidential all Confidential Information of the other party, shall not use such
Confidential Information except as set forth herein, and shall use reasonable efforts not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third party. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall use at least the same degree of care
which it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party under this Agreement. Each party shall promptly notify the other
party of any actual or suspected misuse or unauthorized disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information.

 15.7 Export Control. Distributor understands that AOS may be subject to regulation by
agencies of the U.S. government, including the U.S. Department of Commerce, which prohibit export or diversion of certain products and technology to certain countries. Any and all obligations of AOS to provide Products, as well as any technical
assistance, will be subject in all respects to such United States laws and regulations and will from time to time govern the license and delivery of technology and products abroad by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,
including the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, any successor legislation, and the Export Administration Regulations issued by the Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, or Office of Export Licensing. Distributor

States laws or regulations. 
 15.8 Force Majeure. In the event that either party is prevented from performing or is

parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, California, U.S.A., for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary, without breach of this arbitration
agreement and without any abridgment of the powers of the arbitrators, and agree that such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any such action.
