2   TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES

a)  In relation to those Wafers and Die referred to in Appendix I part I at the
    date of this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that Processes for
    manufacture of such Wafers are Qualified in accordance with written criteria
    agreed between Newport Wafer-Fab Limited and Dialog (which criteria are
    also agreed between the parties hereto):

b)  In relation to any additional Wafers or Processes which the parties agree to
    include in Appendix I from time to time:

    i)   Dialog shall, within an agreed timescale, provide to ESM the Designs
         free of charge in such form and detail as ESM shall reasonably require.
         Further, the parties shall agree the contents of a statement of work
         ("Statement of Work") detailing the process for development, set up and
         Qualification of the relevant Process together with details of the NRE
         Charge payable to ESM in relation to the same;

    ii)  the parties shall co-operate and perform their respective
         responsibilities in the Statement of Work in relation to the relevant
         Process;

    iii) Dialog shall pay to ESM the NRE Charges in accordance with the
         timescales set out in the Statement of Work and subject to occurrence
         of the relevant milestone stages specified therein;

    iv)  in the event that Dialog requires, prior to the relevant Process being
         Qualified, any works to be carried out in relation to the Wafers or
         Process in addition to the Statement of Work or shall require any
         Qualification Lots in excess of those set out in the Statement of
         Work, ESM shall be entitled to charge Dialog additional fees and
         expenses, such fees and expenses to be agreed prior to commencement
         of any work;

    v)   Dialog shall promptly carry out Qualification testing within a
         reasonable period of time of receipt of the relevant Qualification
         Lot(s) and keep ESM promptly and fully informed as to the results of
         such Qualification. In the event that such testing demonstrates that
         the Qualification Lots comply with the Specification, Dialog shall
         promptly notify ESM of successful Qualification. Dialog shall not
         unreasonably withhold Qualified status. Dialog shall keep true and
         detailed records of any Qualification tests and shall permit ESM, its

3    PRICING OF PRODUCTION WAFERS

a)   In relation to Wafers of the type specified in Appendix I part I, the
     pricing is according to Appendix I parts II to III. In relation to Wafers
     added to Appendix I by agreement between the parties, the prices shall be
     as agreed between the parties at that time and Wafers shall not be added to
     Appendix I until the relevant price is agreed. The prices quoted from time
     to time in Appendix I are in U.S. currency and net of any and all taxes and
     duties, including but not limited to, custom duties, sales tax, value added
     tax, use tax, and excise tax. Dialog shall pay all applicable taxes (which
     may include one or more of the above taxes) in addition to the prices
     quoted in Appendix I. During  *  and  *  of each subsequent year, the
     parties shall re-negotiate in good faith the prices for the Wafers for the
     succeeding year commencing  *  and if no agreement can be reached with
     respect to the Wafer prices by  *  the prices applicable to the succeeding
     year shall be the existing price then in effect.

b)   *

c)   In relation to the  *   and  *   designs, the parties are presently
     collaborating regarding introduction of improvements to the  *  and  *
     designs respectively, which are of a smaller Die size and therefore
     increase the number of gross Die per Wafer. It is intended that the parties
     will share the benefit of any gross die count achieved directly through
     such improvements.

                                                                               7

<PAGE>   9

4   ORDERING AND FORECASTING

a)  At least five days prior to the 1st day of each Forecast Period Dialog will
    provide a rolling forecast ("the Forecast") of its delivery requirements for
    Wafers for the 12 months commencing on the first day of the said Forecast
    Period. Dialog will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that its Wafer
    requirements are spread evenly throughout the year, though this cannot be
    guaranteed. The forecasting principle will be as follows:

    *

b)  At the same time as issuing its first Forecast, Dialog shall place orders
    with ESM for the Wafers detailed in months 1 to 4 of such Forecast. Upon
    issuing each subsequent Forecast, Dialog shall place orders with ESM for
    the Wafers detailed in month 4 of such Forecast.

c)  Orders placed by Dialog as referred to above shall be accepted by ESM
    within 3 working days of receipt (and shall then be binding) in so far as:

    i)   they are within the scope of the most recent forecast for the fourth
         calendar month of such forecast; and

    ii)  the total Guaranteed Capacity for Wafers to be delivered in any
         particular Forecast Period has not been exceeded.

d)  Any orders placed by Dialog above the amounts specified in c)(i) and (ii)
    shall be subject to acceptance by ESM, which it may in its direction
    withhold. ESM shall communicate its acceptance or rejection of such orders
    within 5 working days of receipt. Orders accepted by ESM in accordance with
    this clause 4(d) shall be binding on the parties.

5   GUARANTEE OF SUPPLY/ALLOCATION

a)  Subject to the remainder of clause 5 ESM agrees to provide Dialog with a
    guaranteed capacity ("GUARANTEED CAPACITY") as follows:

    *

                                                                               9

<PAGE>   10

    *

    The above capacity reservations are also conditional upon Dialog having
    complied with its obligations under Appendices 4 and 5 and upon ESM having
    successfully configured and installed the equipment as referred to in
    Appendices 4 and 5 within the timescale necessary to meet the
    aforementioned Guaranteed Capacity and such equipment operating (in
    conjunction with other ESM plant) in accordance with its specifications. In
    the event that the foregoing is not achieved due to unavailability of
    equipment or installation and consultancy services in relation to such
    consigned equipment, or failure or delay of the same to operate to
    specification within such timescales as aforesaid the parties shall meet
    and discuss in good faith how to remedy the situation and to agree what
    Guaranteed Capacity levels shall apply.

Further, ESM shall from the time Fab3 is fully equipped and operational and
subject to agreement on price and specification for the relevant wafers provide
a Guaranteed Capacity of * production capacity of Fab3 from time to time.

b)  ESM agrees to use its reasonable endeavours to accelerate its increase in
    production capacity and efficiency in an effort to make available capacity
    of * per month prior to Apr 2001.

c)  Without prejudice to clause 5(d) and 5(e), ESM shall in any Forecast Period
    be entitled to utilise the short fall between the Guaranteed Capacity for
    that period and the volume of Wafers ordered by Dialog during that period
    as ESM shall see fit including for the purpose of supplying Wafers to its
    other customers.

d)  In relation to each of Fab 1 and Fab 3 in the event that in relation to any
    three consecutive Forecast Periods Dialog forecasts (in its latest forecast
    prior to commencement of the first of such Forecast Periods) that its
    aggregate required amounts for those periods for Wafers produced in the
    relevant Fab are less than the aggregate Guaranteed Capacity (as may have
    been previously adjusted in accordance with this clause 5) for the relevant
    Fab and periods then the Guaranteed Capacity for the relevant Fab per
    Forecast Period shall for the remainder of this Agreement (but subject to
    any further amendments pursuant to this clause 5(b) and/or 5(e)) be amended
    to equal the average amount of volumes and wafer type set out in Dialogs
    latest forecast for Wafers produced in the relevant Fab for each of those
    periods plus * of such average where such total amount is less than the
    Guaranteed Capacity for the relevant Fab (as may have been previously
    adjusted in accordance with this clause 5).

                                                                              10

<PAGE>   11

e)  In relation to each of Fab 1 and Fab 3 in the event that in relation to any
    three consecutive Forecast Periods Dialog does not place Orders for the
    relevant Fab (which are binding under clauses 4(c) and/or 4(d) in
    aggregate equal to or in excess of * of the aggregate Guaranteed Capacity
    for the relevant Fab (as may have previously been adjusted in accordance
    with this clause 5) of those periods then without prejudice to any rights
    or remedies ESM may have, the Guaranteed Capacity for the relevant Fab per
    Forecast Period shall for the remainder of this Agreement (but subject to
    the remainder of this clause and to any further amendment pursuant to
    clause 5(d) and/or this clause 5(e)), unless the parties agree otherwise,
    reduce to equal the average plus * of the volumes and Wafer type for Wafers
    produced in the relevant Fab which were the subject of binding Orders
    placed by Dialog for delivery during the said three Forecast Periods where
    such total amount is less than the Guaranteed Capacity for the relevant Fab
    (as may have been previously adjusted in accordance with this clause 5).

    *

f)  In the event that Guaranteed Capacity is reduced under clauses 5(d) or 5(e)
    ESM agrees that, on Dialog's request, it will discuss such reduction with
    Dialog and may, following such discussion agree to reinstate (in whole or
    part) the relevant Guaranteed Capacity

6   WARRANTY

a)  ESM warrants all Wafers will comply with the relevant Specification for *
    from date of delivery (or such other longer period as may be agreed).
    Dialog will use all reasonable endeavours to report any failure to comply
    with Specification as soon as practicable and in any event within * of
    receipt of the relevant Wafers. Further where Dialog probe they will report
    the yield results to ESM within * of probing. If any Wafers do not during
    the said * period conform to the Specification or are not at the time of
    delivery, of new (ie manufactured within the previous 3 months) manufacture
    (hereinafter called a "Defect") then Dialog shall (without prejudice to any
    other right it may have under this Agreement) be entitled to exercise one
    of the following rights:-

    i)   Require ESM to use its best efforts as necessary to replace the Wafers
         free of additional cost to Dialog and at ESM's risk; or

    Specification. If ESM is responsible for a proven failure so as to breach
    the warranties in clause 6, and ESM is not able to correct the matter within
    forty-five (45) days of receipt of such Stop Request, then subject to the
    provisions of clause 6(b) to (d) Dialog may exercise its rights under
    clause 6(a).

i)  If Dialog requests, under (h) above ESM to stop delivery of any Wafers which
    Dialog is obligated to purchase, and the Wafers are determined in good faith
    by ESM to have been processed in accordance with the applicable
    Specification, in addition to and without either party waiving any other
    remedies, Dialog shall pay for completed goods at the purchase order price
    and payment for work in progress shall be the Wafer Price as amended in
    accordance with Appendix 3 to make an appropriate but not pro rata
    calculation based on the relative mask step at which the Wafer(s) were at
    the time of cancellation.

j)  Upon written request from Dialog and subject to satisfactory arrangements
    for payment to ESM for the reasonable costs involved, ESM will perform
    failure analysis of Wafers returned to ESM pursuant to ESM's standard return
    material authorisation procedures. If such analysis shows the existence of
    material defects in breach of applicable ESM warranties, ESM will not be
    entitled to payment for the cost of the failure analysis concerning such
    defects for the specific Wafers which were subject to them.

    to the design of Wafers to be produced for it by ESM, provided however that
    each such change must be timely documented by Dialog through written change
    notices and agreed by ESM. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, after
    Process Qualification runs for a particular design have been made and
    approved by ESM and Dialog, any Dialog-requested changes to design, process
    or materials for such Wafers shall be subject to ESM's consent (which will
    not be unreasonably withheld) and payment by Dialog of applicable reasonable
    costs and price increases, if any, related to such change.

c)  No additional quality assurance requirements or measurements (whether cv
    plots, metal step coverage analysis, SEM analysis, or other) will be

     Agreement.

2.2  Customer shall furnish Foundry with all requisite technical support and
     assistance in starting up the manufacture of Products at Foundry's wafer
     manufacturing facilities, and, if turnkey services are provided, at
     Subcontractor's facilities (if applicable) (collectively "the facilities")

     and qualification process.

2.4  Customer shall provide at its own expense all Test Programs and the latest
     version of the build kits and bonding diagrams to be used in the Services.
     Customer shall also supply an agreed number of specialized correlation
     units with appropriate datalog for correlation, including probecard wafers
     and golden wafers. If required by Customer, Foundry may engage
     Subcontractor, on Customer's behalf and at Customer's expense, to develop
     Test Programs or undertake Test Program conversion, on such terms and
     conditions to be

                                       3

<PAGE>   6

     mutually agreed. Foundry shall, unless otherwise advised in writing by
     Customer, be entitled to assume that the latest version of the build kit
     furnished by Customer is the Customer's latest version of the build kit,
     and shall be entitled to rely on that assumption.

2.5  In the event that any non-recurring engineering ('NRE') effort is
     cancelled at Customer's request, unless cancellation is due to the failure
     of the Foundry to deliver Customer shall pay all or part of the related
     NRE charge as follows:

     (a)  Customer shall be liable for 100% of tooling costs incurred by
          Foundry at the time of NRE cancellation; and

     (b)  Unless by prior written agreement Customer shall be liable for all
          other NRE charges based upon the amount of work completed but not
          less than 50% of the total NRE charge.

     Customer shall be liable to pay Foundry for any existing inventory or
     work-in-progress in accordance with Clause 9.3 herein.

2.6  Where expedient, Foundry may authorise Customer to communicate directly
     with Subcontractor on any Technical Matters, provided however, that in
     respect of all other matters, Customer shall communicate directly with
     Foundry. For the avoidance of doubt, Foundry shall not be responsible for
     any loss or damage suffered by Customer arising out of any new
     specifications and procedures, or changes to existing specifications and
     procedures, agreed between Customer and Subcontractor without the prior
     approval of Foundry.

2.7  Customer shall not have the authority, nor hold out to Subcontractor as
     having any authority or right to assume, create or undertake any
     obligation of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, on behalf of
     Foundry.

2.8  Foundry shall provide factory engineering support to Customer for yield
     monitoring and where applicable yield improvement of products.

3.   QUALIFICATION AND MODIFICATION

3.1  The Parties shall, where required by Customer, proceed in accordance with
     mutually agreed terms with the qualification of a Customer Device using
     the relevant Foundry process to be used in the manufacture of Products for
     Customer. Design rules shall not be waived by Foundry except through the
     Design Rule Waiver Request Procedure referenced in Appendix B. The
     qualification of a Customer Device using the Foundry process shall be in
     accordance with the applicable Foundry Readiness to Ramp Procedure and the
     Release To Customer Production and Risk Waiver Agreements specifications

     Wafers prior to the issue of a Release To Customer Production document by
     Foundry, Customer shall execute Foundry's standard Risk Waiver Agreement
     ("RW") referred to in Foundry's standard Release To Customer Production and
     Risk Waiver Agreement specification referenced in Appendix B. The terms of
     the RW shall govern the manufacture of the specific quantity of Wafers
     referred to in the RW.

3.3  Upon successful qualification of a Customer Device on a manufacturing
     process, Foundry shall manufacture the Products to conform with the
     Acceptance Criteria set out in Appendix C.

3.4  If changes to the Acceptance Criteria are made otherwise than to correct
     any defects in the manufacture of Products hereunder, the parties shall in
     good faith re-negotiate any existing terms and conditions of purchase
     (including pricing and delivery commitments) which require amendment as a

     (a)  Customer has issued a purchase order to the relevant Foundry. For the
          avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if Chartered is the Party
          manufacturing the Products, then the purchase order shall be issued
          to Chartered. Likewise, if SMP is the Party manufacturing the
          Products, then the purchase order shall be issued to SMP; and if CSP
          is the Party manufacturing the Products, then the purchase order
          shall be issued to CSP; and

          Customer's purchase order, an order acknowledgement to Customer
          acknowledging Customer's purchase order and confirming the scheduled
          date on which Products will be available for delivery (the "Scheduled
          Availability Date"). If Customer has not received an order
          acknowledgement within 3 business days of transmission of customers
          order the order is deemed not to have been accepted.

     (c)  Test Programs (if applicable) have been released or mutually agreed
          by the Parties; and

          Products.

5.2  All purchase orders issued by Customer shall reference this Agreement. The
     terms and conditions of this Agreement shall exclusively govern the
     purchase and supply of Products hereunder and shall override any
     conflicting, amending and/or additional terms contained in Customer's
     purchase order and/or Customer's acceptance documents. No variation or
     addition to the terms and

     writing between the authorised representatives of the Parties.

5.3  The Customer's purchase order once acknowledged shall (except with
     Foundry's consent and subject to termination clauses) be irrevocable, and
     shall contain the Wafer part number, Customer Device code revision number,
     Foundry Product code, quantity of Products required, requested delivery
     dates for such Products, price per unit of the Products, and the following
     items if applicable: turnkey part number, test program revision number or

     the case may be. In addition, Foundry shall be under no liability for
     defects in the Products caused by static discharge, abnormal working
     conditions, fair wear and tear, accident, wilful damage, abuse, misuse,
     neglect, improper installation, improper repair or improper alteration by
     persons other than Foundry or its appointed Subcontractor (if applicable),
     improper testing and/or improper storage and/or improper handling or use
     contrary to any instructions issued by Foundry which are in keeping with
     generally accepted industry practices. Further, Foundry shall be under no
     liability for any parts or materials it has not manufactured.

8.3  Foundry shall have the discretion to decide whether or not to conduct
     failure analysis at its expense, alternatively, if insisted upon by
     Customer at Customers expense on the Products returned by Customer, and if
     such failure analysis is conducted, Foundry will, at Customer's request,
     provide Customer with copies of the results of such analysis. If Foundry's
     failure analysis determines that the

                                       8
<PAGE>   11
     defects are due to causes other than the causes specified in Clause 8.2,
     then Customer may at its option elect for either a credit for the purchase
     price paid for such Products, or Foundry's retest/rework/replacement of the
     defective Products returned to Foundry. If Customer elects for the
     retest/rework/replacement of defective Products, the manufacture of such
     Products shall have high priority on Foundry's production schedule.
     Specifically for replacement the manufacture of such Products shall being
     given hot lots where possible.

8.4  The cost of retest/rework/replacement, repacking, handling and shipping of
     such retested/reworked/replaced Products back to Customer shall be borne by
     Customer unless the cause of failure is due to the fault of Foundry or its
     Subcontractor, in which case Foundry shall bear the cost of
     retest/rework/replacement, repacking, handling and shipping.

8.5  THE FOREGOING STATES FOUNDRY'S ENTIRE LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN
     TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, FOR ALL CLAIMS BASED ON FAILURE
     OR DEFECTS IN PRODUCTS. THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE IN LIEU OF
     ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, TERMS, UNDERTAKINGS, AND OBLIGATIONS IMPLIED BY
     STATUTE, COMMON LAW, CUSTOM, TRADE USAGE, COURSE OF DEALING OR OTHERWISE,
     ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
     BY LAW AND FOUNDRY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
     OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

9.   RESCHEDULING AND PRODUCTION HALTS

9.1  Customer may at any time prior to commencement of the manufacturing
     process, but not less than 30 days prior to the Scheduled Availability Date
     (the "Original Scheduled Availability Date"), request Foundry to reschedule
     (without additional cost to Customer and not exceeding one reschedule per
     line item in Customer's purchase order) any line item in Customer's
     purchase order for Products to a later date (the "Revised Scheduled
     Availability Date") being the earlier of (a) 90 days from the Original
     Scheduled Availability Date, or (b) the last day of the calendar quarter of
     the Original Scheduled Availability Date. If the Revised Scheduled
     Availability Date extends beyond the earlier of (a) 90 days from the
     Original Scheduled Availability Date, or (b) the last day of the calendar
     quarter of the Original Scheduled Availability Date, Foundry shall be
     entitled to invoice Customer for the full sale price of the rescheduled
     Products. Customer may reschedule outside the last day of the calendar
     quarter without penalty provided that the reschedule is replaced by
     equivalent loading in the same technology.

9.2  Customer may not reschedule orders of production lot Products once the
     manufacturing process has commenced on such order.

<PAGE>   12
 9.3 If Customer decides to cancel its order for Products, Customer shall pay
     to Foundry a Cancellation Fee based on the formula set out in Appendix H.
     Customer shall be allowed to cancel an order for less than 100 wafers that
     is more than 30 days late from the original Scheduled Availability Date
     provided that the order stated the wafers were for a critical product
     introduction.

10.  DELIVERY

10.1 Foundry shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the exact
     quantity of Products stipulated in the relevant Customer purchase order.
     However if for each purchase order the aggregate quantity of Products
     delivered by Foundry is within either plus or minus 5% of the quantity
     ordered per quarter, such quantity shall constitute compliance with
     Customer purchase order. Furthermore, Customer shall be deemed to have
     waived any claims for shipment shortage if within 45 days of actual
     delivery date of the Product Customer fails to inform Foundry of such fact.

10.2 All deliveries are Exworks (Foundry's factory in Singapore) (INCOTERMS
     2000) for Wafer sales, and Exworks (Subcontractor's factory) for turnkey
     sales (INCOTERMS 2000). Title shall pass to Customer at the delivery point.
     Foundry shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Wafers
     available for shipment within the Scheduled Availability Date. However if
     for each purchase order, Products are delivered within plus 2 or minus 7
     days of the Scheduled Availability Date, such delivery shall constitute
     compliance with Customer purchase order. Scheduled Availability Dates are
     best estimates only. Foundry shall promptly give Customer written notice of
     any prospective failure to make the Products available for shipment within
     plus 2 or minus 7 days of the Scheduled Availability Date.

10.3 All quantities of Products shall be delivered in Foundry or Subcontractor
     standard containers with proper labels identifying the specific Customer
     Device and lot number and shall be accompanied by a packing list specifying
     the relevant purchase order number, Product lot number, Product quantity
     and number of good un-inked die (if Wafers have been sorted) and other
     agreed upon processing documentation.

10.4 If Customer fails to take delivery of any quantity of Products or fails to
     give adequate delivery instructions (otherwise than by reason of any cause
     beyond Customer's reasonable control or by reason of Foundry's fault), then
     without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Foundry,
     Foundry may at its option, store such Products until actual delivery and
     charge Customer for reasonable costs of storage (including insurance).

10.5 All reject Products that have not been shipped by Foundry will be scrapped
     by Foundry at the expiry of 30 days from the Scheduled Availability Date of
     the Products, unless Customer notifies Foundry otherwise during that
     period.

                purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation without insolvency;
                or

          (iii) any encumbrancer taking possession of or a receiver, trustee or

                the foregoing, any increase or decrease of Chartered's
                shareholding in either SMP or CSP shall not amount to an event
                of default under this Clause 11.1(d)(v).

     relevant Monthly Average Commitment undeliverable shall be deducted from
     the Foundry Supply Commitment. If such force majeure event continues for a
     period exceeding 6 consecutive months without a prospect of a cure of such
     event, the other Party shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to
     terminate this Agreement. Such termination shall take effect immediately
     upon the written notice to that effect from the other Party to the Party
     affected by the force majeure event.
