              infringement of US Patents by wafers or other products supplied by
              SIEMENS (hereinafter "Products"), SIEMENS shall at its cost
              acquire for APT a right to use the 'Product. In case this is not
              possible at economically reasonable conditions, SIEMENS' liability
              for infringement of any intellectual property rights or copy
              rights shall be limited as follows:

              (a)    Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer against any
                     legal costs and  damages of Buyer caused by Protective
                     Right infringement by the Product  as such up to the amount
                     of an appropriate license fee, which the owner of    the
                     Protective Rights could claim directly from Seller for the
                     use of the  infringing Product.

              (b)    For future deliveries SIEMENS shall, if economically
                     reasonable, at its option and in compliance with the
                     specifications modify the Product to become non infringing
                     or deliver an equivalent non infringing product.

              Claims shall be deemed justified only if they are acknowledged as
              such by Seller or finally adjudicated as such by a court of
              competent jurisdiction.

       B.     The obligations of SIEMENS mentioned in Section 10.A above apply
              under the precondition that APT informs SIEMENS without delay in
              writing of any claims for infringement of Protective Rights, does
              not accept on its own any such claims and conducts any disputes,
              including settlements out of court, only in agreement with
              SIEMENS.

       C.     Any liability of SIEMENS shall also be excluded, if the
              infringement of US patents results from specific instructions
              given by APT or the fact that the Product has been changed by APT
              or is being used in conjunction with products not delivered by
              SIEMENS, which convert an otherwise non-infringing Product to an
              infringing Product.

       D.     Any liability of SIEMENS pursuant to Section 10.A shall be
              excluded, if the infringement of US patents is not caused by the
              Product itself, for example if such infringement results from the
              application of the Product (including any application specific
              circuitry implemented in the Product), unless SIEMENS did offer
              the Product especially for such infringing application.

11.    RISK, TITLE

1.   GENERAL INFORMATION ON PACKING

The aim of this guideline is to ensure that the packing used for products of the
Semiconductor Group is appropriate for the conditions to which it will be
subject, and that the products arrive at the end of the transport chain
undamaged. The guideline describes the components which comprise the packing in
each case.  It sets out the general principles for the packing and transport of
HL products.

1.1  TERMINOLOGY

The following definitions of terms are based on DIN 55 405 (Packaging; Concepts;
Introduction; Pt1 to Pt7)

PACK GOODS

Goods which are to be packed or are packed. Examples: undiced wafers, diced
wafers, components.

FUNCTIONAL PACKING = PACKAGING

Product made of packing materials which is designed to enclose or hold together
the pack goods.  Functional packing means: the primary protection against
breakage, fixed quantities, and possibly also subsequent machine handling of the
pack goods.  Examples of functional packing/packaging: wafer boxes, wafer
canisters, foil rings for diced chips, foil bags, tape, reels, tubes, trays.

PACKING AIDS

A collective term for aids which are used in conjunction with the packing
materials for packing purposes. Examples of packing aids: adhesive tape, labels,
silica gel, foam padding, transparent foil.

PACKING MATERIAL

Materials/loose packing from which the packaging and packing aids are composed.

PRODUCT PACKING (ALSO REFERRED TO AS TRANSPORT PACKING)

Packing, the form of which is determined by the transport conditions, and which
generally serves as the outermost packing of the functional packing.

TRANSPORT PACKING

Cuboidal packing, consisting of one of more parts, which can be closed up, the
form of which is

determined by the transport conditions, e.g. aluminum box, case made of solid
and/or corrugated cardboard.

PACKAGE

The result of combining the pack goods and the packing, particularly suitable
for transport.

AIRFREIGHT CONTAINER

A container for airfreight, with the following characteristics: durable
construction for repeated use, transport of goods without repacking, easy to
load and unload, simple to handle when moved from one mode of transport to
another, volume of at least 1 m3.

1.2  FUNDAMENTALS

The packing must be constructed so as to satisfy SN 10 250 Part 1 - Fundamentals
for Packaging Engineering (Planning and Objectives).

The functions of packing are described in SN 10 250, Part 2 - Functions. The
departments in the Semiconductor Group which deal with packing are responsible
for these functions.

New forms of packing must always be the subject of a request. The required
application is described in Org-Handbook Guideline B 5.6,Guideline of Packing
Materials - Part land 2.

HL Packing Coordination issues lists of each of the permitted packing materials.
In the case of new packing materials, for multi-use packing, and the recycling
of packaging and packing aids, the UAS section should also be involved. In this
context, refer to DIN 6120.

When planning and developing packing, reference should be made to SN 10 250,
Fundamentals for Packaging Engineering Attachment 1, "List of questions for use
in selecting the packing". Before new forms of packing, packaging and packing
aids are authorized, these questions should be considered (permitted packing
materials, multi-use, disposal, transport simulation, costs). Items of packing
which have already been authorized should be checked regularly to ensure that
they meet the requirements of their conditions of use (continual improvement
process).

Packaging and packing aids should be reused. The decisive factors are the
financial aspects of return transport and the environmental protection
regulations. Examples of reusable packaging are wafer boxes, wafer canisters,
transport containers with padded inserts, tubes and trays.

1.3  CONTENTS LABELING

The integrity or uniformity of the product within a packing unit must meet the
requirements of SN 72 500 Parts 2, 3, 21 and any additional agreed customer
requirements.

Every item of product packing must have an unambiguous and easily readable
statement of its

<PAGE>

contents affixed. This will take the form of an adhesive label, a tag or a
barcode product label (BPL) as described in TR 32.
The labels will be affixed to the functional/transport packing. The product will
be held in the VKL (sales store) with the label, so that it can be identified
for later processing.

1.4  SCOPE

This guideline applies throughout HL, for all Divisions (GGs) and sites.

1.7    OTHER DOCUMENTS

Technical drawings and purchase specifications must be available for all the
packaging materials required for packing (functional, product and transport
packing). This is the responsibility of Development, MT and Production.

The instructions (APAs and/or EPAs) required at each of the workplaces concerned
must be produced by the responsible organizational units (FV, PPT) in the
various plants.

2.     PACKING FOR WAFERS

Wafers which are being transported off the site where they are produced
require special functional, product and transport packing, to prevent them
from being damaged.

2.1    FUNCTIONAL PACKING

Wafer diameter, wafer thickness and the transport route affect the packing
materials and aids which should be used. The requirements specified in the
applicable APAs must be adhered to.

Table 1 contains examples of forms of functional packing which are currently
being used for the delivery of wafers.

</TABLE>

2.2    PACKING PROCEDURE

Various links in the transport chain connect the HL sites with external
customers, so that the packing will be designed for the corresponding
conditions. The various packing procedures are specified in the appropriate
process instructions (APAs).

2.3    IDENTIFICATION FOR INTERNAL TRANSPORT FROM ONE SITE TO ANOTHER (INCLUDING
       SUBCONTRACTORS)

The pack goods should be clearly identified by an adhesive label or barcode
label attached to an appropriate part of the packaging.
Adhesive labels or tags should be affixed to the box or canister. The
corresponding traveler protocol should be put with the packing.

2.4    IDENTIFICATION OF INCOMING DELIVERIES TO THE VKL FOR EXTERNAL CUSTOMERS

For unambiguous identification of pack goods, adhesive labels or barcode labels
should be affixed to a suitable item of the packaging, with its quality seal
intact.

The adhesive label or tag should be affixed to the box or canister before it is
sealed into heat-welded foil. The corresponding customer lot protocol should be
put with the packing.

2.5    TRANSPORT PACKING

The transport chain, the pack goods and the functional packing determine what
forms of transport packing should be used.
For consignments of undiced wafers which are being transported by heavy goods
vehicle, (e.g. from Villach to Munich), wafer transport containers or transport
boxes are used for transport packing.
Products which need special security, e.g. wafers for smart cards, must only be
transported in

<PAGE>

lockable wafer-transport containers.
Batches of wafers should not be split.
For consignments of chips (diced wafers) the form of packing used for transport
comprises containers with polystyrene foam covers in transport boxes, or special
boxes with foam in lays in transport boxes with rigid foam inserts. This type of
packing is intended for external customers, contract manufacturers or HL sites.
Transport boxes from blank wafer suppliers can be used if this saves time and
reduces costs. The external companies' designations can if necessary be covered
with neutral adhesive paper tape.
The appropriate handling icons and transport markings for the goods should be
affixed to the transport boxes. These should be printed as specified in DIN EN
20 780, Packaging; Pictorial marking for the handling of goods, and SN 66 769,
Shipping marks for packages; Pictorial labels.
When wafers are being air-freighted, the packages should be packed as 'loose
cargo' batches or in LD3 airfreight containers. When doing so, care must be
taken that any movement of the transport boxes is prevented by packing inserts.

2.6    IDENTIFICATION OF TRANSPORT PACKING

An adhesive address label will be put on the transport packing. The freight
documentation will be put into a pocket in the position provided for the
purpose.

3.     PACKING COMPONENTS

The protection which is to be afforded to the components determines whether the
packaging used for the functional packing should be further enclosed, and how.

The type of component and the transport route determine whether the packaging is
heat-welded,

<PAGE>

whether in an atmosphere of air or N2 or evacuated, and whether protected from
moisture. Further details are laid down in the appropriate APAs.

3.2    IDENTIFICATION FOR TRANSPORT TO THE VKL

The BPL (= barcode product label) is affixed to the functional and product
packing in the test area.

Further details are laid down in the appropriate APAs.

3.3    TRANSPORT PACKING

The transport chain, the pack goods and the functional packing determine what
form of transport packing is to be used.

3.4    SENDING TO DISPATCH

On the basis of store withdrawal forms, the VKL collects together the components
to make up deliveries, and sends them to Dispatch.

Note: The functional packing must not be opened by the VKL or Dispatch.

3.4.1  DELIVERIES RECEIVED IN FUNCTIONAL PACKING

The items in their functional packing (e.g. bag), sealed and labeled (e.g. with
a BPL), are sent to Dispatch for each order separately, together with the
delivery documentation. Depending on their volume and transport route, one or
more items in their functional packing are packed into transport boxes. Empty
spaces must be filled with loose packing. An address label is affixed to each
package, and each delivery is provided with delivery documentation (e.g.
delivery note/customs documentation).

3.4.2  DELIVERIES RECEIVED IN TRANSPORT PACKING

Items in product packing, sealed and labeled (e.g. with a BPL), are sent to
Dispatch for each order separately, together with the delivery documentation.
Depending on the extent of the delivery, the packages are sent individually or
are collected together into a transport box. Empty spaces must be filled with
loose packing.

An address label is affixed to each package, and each delivery is provided with
delivery documentation (e.g. delivery note/customs documentation).

     in accordance with Section 2.1.2.

2.1.2 APT and Siemens shall agree upon Process specifications to be described in
     Exhibit 3, which shall be finalized before Siemens begins production in
     accordance with Section 3.

2.1.3 Subject to the stipulations and procedure set forth in this Agreement
     and in accordance with the qualification plan described in Exhibit 5
     Siemens shall bring up the Process which shall meet the specification in
     Exhibit 3 and deliver the required Wafers for qualification purposes.

2.2  MASKS

2.2.1 Siemens shall provide for each Power MOS Die the masks which are necessary
     for production of Wafers. The masks shall be produced by using the data
     base tape of APT and if necessary other technical information as provided
     with the relevant Product Information Package as more fully described in
     Exhibit 2.

2.2.2 For each Power MOS Die APT shall pay the first set of production masks,
     and any subsequent redesigned mask layers, including those for
     modified/redesigned Power MOS Die if such modification/redesign is APT's
     responsibility or has been conducted upon APT's request. APT will supply
     the databases to Siemens and the masks will be generated by Siemens for use
     in manufacturing and the amount APT will pay is Siemens internal mask shop
     prices if made internally or the outside mask shop Cost if purchased
     externally. Except as provided above all further masks shall be at Siemens
     charge, if not agreed otherwise.

2.3  QUALIFICATION

2.3.1 The qualification approval by APT for each Process and each individual
     Power MOS Die, manufactured with the Process, is a prerequisite for
     ordering and delivery of Wafers and/or Good Dies. This section 2.3.1 is not
     applicable in the case of Risk Starts.

2.3.2 For the purpose of qualification as specified in Exhibit 4 and 5 Siemens
     shall provide APT, with the agreed upon Number of Wafers. Such Wafers
     delivered for qualification must also meet all agreed APT standards,
     specifications and requirements defined in the Exhibits 1. 2, 3. 4, and
     provided however, that if failures occur due to reasons, for which APT is
     responsible, Siemens shall be paid 100 % of the Wafer price as specified in
     Exhibit 7. Siemens shall in accordance with the agreed schedule deliver to
     APT any documents and reports as required.

2.3.3 Prior to completion of the qualification, APT may. in accordance with
     Exhibit 6 request that Siemens provides Wafers out of "Risk Starts".
     Siemens will provide these Wafers out of Risk Starts to APT at the
     price/volume specified in Exhibit 6 and 7.

<PAGE>

2.3.4 During qualification, as specified in Exhibit 5, APT may stop production
     of Wafers for any or all APT Power MOS Chips by giving notice to Siemens.
     Siemens will stop production following completion of the process step at
     which the Wafer reside at the time of notification. APT will pay Siemens
     for all Wafers started prior to Siemens receiving such notice. Prices for
     such Wafers will be based on the stage of production of the Wafers as
     defined in Exhibit 7.

2.3.5 After APT qualification approval to the Process Siemens shall not carry
     out any major changes on the Process without prior written approval of APT
     (major changes as defined by Siemens internal standards and approved by
     APT). Process changes may only be carried out in accordance with the
     Process change notification procedure to be agreed upon.

2.3.6 In the case Siemens desires to perform major changes to a Process APT
     shall be informed 9 months, or a shorter period if mutually agreed upon,
     prior to the planned commencement of such changes to the Process and shall
     receive a detailed description of the planned changes as well as the
     results of a re-qualification of the Process with the intended changes to
     be performed by Siemens in accordance with Exhibits 3, 4 and 5. APT will
     inform Siemens in writing if the desired changes of the Process are
     acceptable. In such case a re-qualification of the Process according to
     this Section 2.3 is necessary and Siemens shall provide APT with the
     necessary Wafers for such re-qualification free of charge. APT shall
     purchase the Wafers for re-qualification if such changes to the Process are
     requested by APT. Successful re-qualification is the prerequisite for final
     approval of APT to a major change to a Process. APT will not unreasonable
     deny its consent to a major change to a process requested by Siemens and
     APT may not withhold such consent absent clear proof, that such change will
     have a material adverse effect on the resulting Power MOS Die, e.g. but not
     limited to yield, quality, reliability, specification of the respective
     Power MOS Die or reasonable customer requests affecting a material quantity
     of Wafers.

2.3.7 The specifications and requirements specified in Exhibits 3. 4 and 5 can
     only be modified on mutual agreement between Siemens and APT.

2.3.8 If APT determines that modifications to the specifications are required,
     including modifications to photo masks, Process or testing or next
     generation MOS technology, Siemens performs such modifications at APT's

EXHIBIT 6                           VOLUME COMMITMENTS AND PRICING

6.1. QUALIFICATION COST APT recognizes and appreciates the fact that Siemens
will need to invest approximately [ * ] to install and qualify the APT
process in the Villach Wafer Fab. Therefore APT agrees; that in case APT
terminates the contract and at this time the total Wafers received over the
life of the contract (after Qualification) are less than [ * ], APT will pay
[ * ] for every Wafer less than [ * ].

6.2. LOST OPPORTUNITY CHARGES
The following table shows quantities. The 1st 12 months is the period starting
with the 1st production shipment of wafers to APT following qualification. APT
accepts that APT will pay the processing price in Exhibit 7 for all wafers below
the minimum quantity not requested to be delivered to APT for the first two
twelve month periods (fixed) below. The minimum quantities for the remaining
periods are forecasted volumes. Prior to the end of the second twelve month
period and on an annual basis thereafter, APT and Siemens will agree to the
minimum wafer quantity (forecasted quantity becomes fixed quantity) of the
following twelve month period and APT will subject to lost opportunity charges
if the minimum quantities are not met.

6.3. KEY ACCOUNT MANAGER Siemens will have a dedicated person "key account
manager" for APT. This person will have a comprehensive process engineering
background, be familiar with Siemens Wafer fabrication processes and will be
selected by Siemens and approved by APT. APT agrees that as long as the Wafer
volume is less than [ * ] Wafer per week the cost of [ * ] will be shared [ * ]
between APT and Siemens. Invoiced to APT on a monthly basis. With volumes
equal and higher than 200 Wafer per week, this person will be paid fully from
Siemens.

6.4. LOTSIZE / ROLLING FORECAST Siemens will produce the APT orders in lots
with [ * ] Wafer per lot predominantly. Siemens accepts that for a minority of
products this lotsize is not reasonable. Therefore Siemens will produce as a
guideline approximately [ * ] of all wafer starts as [ * ] wafer lot sizes.

APT will provide a rolling forecast for every Die Type as specified in Exhibit 1
for the next 12 month on a monthly basis to Siemens. This forecast will be in
the form of a Wafer start schedule. The start schedule variance allowance for
the weeks following the week that the forecast is sent will be as follows:

EXHIBIT 7                                   TWO PHASE BUSINESS MODEL AND PRICING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Siemens will offer prices per good die. This price depend on the starting
material, the volume per year and the chipsize. The Wafersize is 6 inch. The
lotsize is 50 wafers per lot.

7.1. Wafersize
It is the intent of both, APT and Siemens to manufacture on 6 inch Wafer.
However, APT has a concern that making such a large change from APT current
production on 4 inch wafers to 6 inch wafers may have some unexpected technical
problems due to the large Wafer size. Siemens has strong confidence that the
transfer to 6 inch wafers can be handled within the required schedule. If there
is unexpected technical delays due to the 6 inch wafers which may cause
substantial delays in production and which can be remedied using 5 inch wafers
then it may be necessary to manufacture on 5 inch wafers on an interim basis
until 6 inch technical problems are worked out.

APT agree to the following: APT agrees to pay for this additional costs
(approximately [ * ]) and accept 5 inch die cost which are [ * ] higher than 6
inch die cost, if APT requests 5 inch wafers. If there are technical
difficulties on 6 inch wafers then Siemens will produce wafers on 5 inch at
the same die cost as on 6 inch until 6 inch production can be realized and
APT will not be required for this additional costs (approximately [ * ]).

7.2. TWO-PHASE BUSINESS MODEL
The price for 6 inch die is split in a two-phase business model: Phase 1
takes place as long as the Wafer starts per week is lower than [ * ] wafers.
In this phase Siemens will be paid for every shipped Wafer. Phase 2 starts
with volumes higher than [ * ] Wafer starts per week. Here Siemens will be
paid for every good die, delivered to APT. Inside this phase the price is
split into 4 price breaks:
         [ * ] Wafers per week
         [ * ] Wafers per week
         [ * ] Wafers per week
         [ * ] Wafers per week

The relevant price break is in connection with the minimum volume as specified
in Exhibit 6. If by the end of the year, the cumulated volume was higher than
specified in Exhibit 6, Siemens will credit the difference to APT. In case that
the cumulated volume was lower than specified in Exhibit 6, lost opportunity
charges specified in Exhibit 6 have be paid by APT.

The Pricing table for each MOS Chip is listed below. APT understands and accepts
that Siemens cannot commit the price for the starting material delivered from
Wacker AG, a German corporation. Therefore only the processing price is fixed,
the price for the starting material is only a indication for 500V chips. It can
be fixed only after final quotation from Wacker AG, Germany. Siemens and APT
will cooperate to get the best price for the starting material.

  AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR WAFER PRODUCTION AND TESTING BETWEEN ADVANCED
              POWER TECHNOLOGY AND SIEMENS AS OF FEBRUARY 11, 1998

         This Amendment ("Amendment") is entered into as of the 19th day of July
2000

         By and between

         Infineon Technologies AG, a German corporation located at Balanstrasse
73, 81541 Munchen, Federal Republic of Germany (referred to as "INFINEON"),

         And

         Advanced Power Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation located at 405
S.W. Columbia Street, Bend, Oregon, USA (referred to as "APT").

         WHEREAS, INFINEON's predecessor, Siemens Aktiongesellschaft, (referred
to as "SIEMENS") and APT have entered into an Agreement for Wafer Production and
Testing on February 11, 1998; and

         NOW, THEREFORE the parties agree to partly amend the Agreement and
agree as follows:

         1. INFINEON and APT agree that, while they intend to keep a very open
communication between their respective people, as has been the case since the
beginning of the cooperation between the two companies, they will also establish
a more formal set of communications for all matters relative to these
agreements. Such communications will be directly between INFINEON's Dr. Ploss
and APT's Mr. Sireta. They will include monthly telephone calls to review the
state of the business relationship and forecasts and plans for the future.

         2. INFINEON and APT reconfirm their mutual commitment to a continued
strong cooperation between the two companies, as governed by the two agreements
between them and taking into account the situation of their respective
businesses.

         3. INFINEON and APT agree that APT will consider a capital investment
in INFINEON's wafer fab to help relieve capacity bottle necks, or increase
capacity or capability and that INFINEON will consider such investment.

         4. INFINEON assumes liability for any personal injury for which it is
found responsible without limitation. If found responsible for property damages
of APT, INFINEON shall indemnify APT for expenses incurred for restoration of
the damaged property up to a maximum amount of DM 1 Million per damaging event.

<PAGE>

Apart from warranties and liabilities expressly stipulated in the Agreement,
INFINEON disclaims all liability regardless of the cause in law, in particular
the liability for indirect or consequential damages arising from interrupted
operation, loss of profits, loss of information and data, unless in cases of
gross negligence, intent, lack of assured characteristics or in any cases where
the liability is mandatory at law.

         5.       Committed Capacity

         INFINEON agrees to commit the following capacity of wafer starts per
week to APT:

         [*]

         6.       Art. 4.1 and Art. 4.2 of the Agreement will be amended as
follows:

         For all quantities purchased by APT, the price for good Dies will be
fixed through [*] at the price level as of the date of signature of this
Amendment for the capacity committed in Art. 5, based on the [*] wafers/week of
Exhibit 7 of the Agreement and on the wafer transfer cost agreed as of this date
("Fixed Price").

         The provision concerning the price splitting - Exhibit 7.2 of the
Agreement - is hereby expressly amended. The Fixed Price is a combined price of
starting material and wafer processing.

         Parties agree to enter into annual negotiations concerning prices and
volumes starting with the annual period starting in [*]. In case no agreement
can be achieved, the prices and volumes then in existence will continue to
apply.

         7.       Termination

         Art. 12.1 of the Agreement is hereby amendment as follows:

         Each party may terminate the Agreement with two years prior written
notice to the end of a calendar year unless mutually agreed to reduce this
notice time. Infineon cannot give notice before the end of the calendar year of
2002.

         Art. 12.4 of the Agreement is hereby expressly abolished.

         8.       Penalty

         In case of material breach of the confidentiality clause as stipulated
in Art. 8 of the Agreement, each party agrees without the other party
substantiating any damage occurred to pay the penalty of $5,000, notwithstanding
the other party's right to claim damages exceeding aforementioned amount if it
may so prove.

         9.       Infineon hereby expressly gives its consent to have this
Amendment filed with the US SEC.

         10.      Other Changes

         The price for wafers out of risk production as stated in Art. 2.3.3
will be amended to be the Fixed Price as agreed in Article 6.

         Prices for the wafers as stated in Art. 2.3.4 will be amended to be the
Fixed Prices.

         Art. 3.1 of the Agreement will be abolished. The forecasts in Art. 3.5
have to stay within the committed capacity. In case of lost opportunity charges
as stipulated in Art. 3.4, instead of paying the processing price for all wafers
below the minimum quantity, APT will pay [*] of the Fixed Price.

         Art. 3.3 will be amended so that the price of such wafers and/or good
Die will be [*] of the Fixed Prices for the Committed Capacity effective at that
time.

         Art. 3.13 shall be amended to mean that the Fixed Price shall be paid.
