EXCEPT AS SET OUT HEREIN, SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

DELAY

10.1	Should Seller discover that the delivery date set out in a Contract cannot be met, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in writing, stating the cause of the delay and its best estimate of when delivery can be made. Such a notification shall not limit Seller’s liability for the delay.

10.2

Buyer shall be entitled to liquidated damages in case of delayed deliveries, provided Buyer is not responsible, in whole or in part, for the specific reason for the delay. The liquidated damages shall for each commenced week of delay be [*] of the price referable to the Goods that have been delayed or cannot be used as a consequence of the delay. The liquidated damages shall not, however, exceed a total of [*] per cent of the Contract price referable to the Goods that have been delayed or cannot be used as a consequence of the delay.

The liquidated damages may be deducted by Buyer from amounts payable to Seller with respect to the particular product in question, or may be claimed by other means

10.3

Not more than [*] in a calendar quarter, (unless specifically agreed in any SPA or otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing on a case-by-case basis), Buyer may designate certain line item(s) on a purchase order as prioritized (“Prioritized Line Item”). Prioritized Line Items must be specified as such in the purchase order issued by Buyer and a written notification must be provided to Seller’s designated contact person for such Prioritized Line Item. If the purchase order is issued by a Buyer other than Ericsson, then the designation must be confirmed by Ericsson in other prior written notification in conjunction with the purchase order provided to Seller’s designated contact for receipt of such prioritized order notification. Without limiting the generality of Subarticle 5.1, a Prioritized Line Item means that a precise delivery precision is of utmost importance for Buyer regarding such identified deliveries. For such Prioritized Line Items, Buyer shall have the right to claim liquidated damages in case of delayed deliveries, provided Buyer is not responsible for the specific reason for the delay. The liquidated damages for prioritized deliveries shall for each commenced day of delay be [*], except that the total amount of liquidated damages per incident shall not exceed [*].

-9-

For the avoidance of any doubt, the concept described in the foregoing paragraph, does not mean that normal deliveries shall receive lesser attention by Seller. All deliveries shall be handled professionally by Seller and in accordance with this Agreement, and Buyer expects high delivery precision regarding all deliveries.

10.4	The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve Seller from the obligation to deliver the Goods.

10.5

After [*] of delay, Buyer is entitled to terminate the Contract or any part thereof. The relevant liquidated damages shall be calculated up to and include the day of termination, and shall be paid by Seller. In case of termination, should Buyer’s damages because of the delay exceed the relevant liquidated damages, Buyer shall be entitled to claim compensation for the excess amount. The liquidated damages and actual damages per event, shall however not exceed [*]. Seller’s aggregated liability under subarticles 10.2 and 10.3 shall however, in any calendar year not exceed [*].

11	PRODUCT LIABILITY

Should the Goods have a defect which causes damage to persons or to property other than such Goods, Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless for any such damage, except to the extent such injury or damage is caused by a defective Buyer Design used for manufacture of the said Goods. However, Seller shall not be liable for any damages arising if; (i) the Goods are used in any nuclear, aviation, medical or life sustaining application, or in any other inherently dangerous applications, not including ordinary business or administrative functions associated with such applications (“Inherently Dangerous Applications”), and (ii) the relevant damage is determined to have arisen solely as a direct result of such Inherently Dangerous Applications.

12	CONTINUITY OF SUPPLY

12.1

Seller shall inform Ericsson as soon as possible in writing (the “Notice”) if any of the Goods that at any time has been purchased under this Agreement are to be changed technically or of any plans to suspend or close down manufacturing of the Goods, in order to permit the Ericsson Companies and/or Authorized Companies to place consolidated purchase orders for future demands.

12.2

The Ericsson Companies and the Authorized Companies shall always be entitled to purchase the Goods as long as the SPA is in effect. In addition, the Ericsson Companies and the Authorized Companies shall be entitled to place consolidated purchase orders for Goods within [*] from the expiry or termination of the SPA and/or the date of receipt of the Notice as per Subarticle 12.1, for delivery within [*] from the date(s) of such purchase orders. If the SPA has expired at the dates of the said purchase orders, the SPA valid between the parties at the date of Ericsson’s receipt of the Notice shall regulate the said purchase orders.

12.3

Seller shall establish and maintain a secure sourcing plan including regularly updated business continuity and business contingency plans. The plan shall show the measures Seller will take in order to secure continuous supply to Ericsson and Buyer without interruption in relation to the supply of the Goods.

-10-

Seller shall keep Ericsson informed of the actions anticipated by such secure sourcing plan. In the event Seller would like to amend the plan, Ericsson and Seller shall discuss the amendments in good faith and endeavor to agree on the amendments.

12.4	The secure sourcing plan shall, as a minimum, conform with the following:

(a)

a back-up site/resource shall be identified for each relevant production site.

(b)

a person responsible for initiating the secure sourcing plan activities shall be appointed for each relevant site.

(c)

key personnel shall be appointed and reasonably trained on Ericsson specific product requirements.

Routines shall be established for training in relation to actions included in the secure sourcing plan and actions for the distribution of information contained in the secure sourcing plan.

(d)

organizational matters.

(e)

precautionary actions against disruptions.

(f)

reporting of incidents and such reporting shall follow any general incident reporting procedures stated by Ericsson.

12.5	All costs related to any secure sourcing measure shall be born by Seller.

12.6	Ericsson and the Ericsson Companies placing orders under an SPA shall be allowed to review the plan. Routines shall also be in place in order to keep the secure sourcing plan updated at all times.

12.7

Seller shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the requirements/activities in the secure sourcing plan are supported by corresponding requirements/activities in relation to Seller’s suppliers and contractors. Consequently, Seller shall have corresponding requirements on its suppliers and contractors.

12.8

Seller shall ensure that it has, and use reasonable efforts to ensure that its contractors and suppliers have sufficient insurance (e.g. business interruption and liability insurances). Seller shall actively work with its contractors and suppliers with risk management. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard that production of so-called critical components is not located to a single location.

12.9

Due to the fact that Ericsson will be heavily dependent on successful and continuous deliveries of the Goods from Seller, Seller shall inform and discuss any material plans for disposing or relocating of its manufacturing facilities with Ericsson and/or any other activities that could have a materially adverse effect on Ericsson or any Buyer.

13	INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

13.1	Buyer and Ericsson Companies shall obtain and retain full and complete ownership to any Buyer Design, Buyer Documentation as well as all Intellectual Property Rights incorporated therein. Seller shall always assist and issue necessary documents in order to secure such ownership.

13.2

Without limiting the applicability of Subarticles 13.1,13.3 and 13.4 nothing contained herein shall be construed as giving a party any ownership, license or other rights with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights owned or controlled by the other party, and such Intellectual Property Rights shall

-11-

always remain the legal and absolute property of the party owning or controlling it, unless otherwise provided for herein or separately agreed upon between the parties in writing.

13.3	A Seller being party to a Contract for which a Buyer Design has been furnished is granted a non-exclusive, restricted, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to use such Buyer Design only for the assembly and/or manufacturing of the Goods for Buyer under the relevant Contract.

Seller shall not assert any Intellectual Property Rights against Buyer, Ericsson Companies, distributors and customers (purchasers and users) based exclusively on the use, sale, distribution or other disposal of any Goods or for the assembly, use, sale, distribution or other disposal of a combination of such Goods with other products.

13.6	Further, Seller shall not, without Ericsson’s prior approval, use Buyer’s or any Ericsson Company’s name and/or corporate logotype in Seller’s informational, promotional, advertising or any other material.

13.7	This Article shall survive the termination of this Agreement, for any reason.

14	INFRINGEMENT

14.1

Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and any Ericsson Company and Authorized Company (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all damages actually paid out, or otherwise demonstrably suffered, by the Indemnitee, and costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of any claim, suit or proceeding brought against any of them based on the allegation that the use, sale, distribution or other disposal of any Goods furnished by Seller under this Agreement constitutes an infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights; provided that Seller has been notified without undue delay in writing of such claim, suit or proceeding and given the possibility and information to, participate in the settlement of the claim or in Buyer’s defense of any suit or proceeding. For purposes of clarification, the parties agree that Seller’s obligations under this Article 14.1 shall include an obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Ericsson Company with respect to claims related to infringing Goods received from any customer to which such Goods have been sold, based on contractual obligations of such Ericsson Company towards the customer. However, the parties agree that Seller shall not be liable under this Article 14.1 for any lost business opportunities, lost production, lost data, lost goodwill, lost anticipated savings, lost revenue or similar unforeseeable indirect, incidental or consequential damages incurred by an Indemnitee, or by a customer of any Ericsson Company to which infringing Goods have been sold.

14.2	In the event that the Goods or any part thereof are in such suit or proceeding held to constitute such an infringement or their further use, sale, distribution or other disposal is enjoined, Seller shall promptly, at its own expense and option, either:

(a)

procure for Buyer, Ericsson Companies, and Authorized Companies the right to continue the use, sale, distribution or other disposal of such Goods;

(b)

replace the Goods with non-infringing goods of equivalent function and performance; or

(b)

modify such Goods so that they become non-infringing without detracting from function or performance

14.3

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller’s obligations set out in Subarticle 14.1 and 14.2 shall not apply to the extent the claim of infringement would not have occurred but for (a) a combination of the Goods with any device, product or equipment not provided Seller or not authorized by Seller in writing, or (b) any modification by a party other than Seller of the Goods delivered by Seller that has not been authorized and approved by Seller in writing, or (c) in cases where Seller can prove (i) that the said suit, claim or proceeding is based solely on a Buyer Design, and (ii) that the Goods concerned by the claim, suit or proceeding has been manufactured according to such Buyer Design only, (iii) that the suit, claim or proceeding would not otherwise have arisen independent from such Buyer Design and (iv) that Seller was not aware of that such Buyer Design was infringing Intellectual Property Rights of a third party.

Exhibit 3 to READ-2009:192839

PRODUCT PURCHASING RIGHTS EXHIBIT

This Product Purchasing Rights Exhibit is attached to and hereby made a part of the General Purchase Agreement between Ericsson and Seller dated 18 June 2009 (hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”).

1. Upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event (as defined below), Seller shall grant to Ericsson a royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive license under Seller’s Intellectual Property Rights (with right of sublicense to any Ericsson Company and Authorized Company) during the Term of the Agreement to order, purchase and take delivery of the Goods and to market, sell and distribute such Goods within the permissible scope as defined in the Agreement (the “Permitted Purpose”).

2. Upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event, Seller and Ericsson will promptly meet in order to discuss what measures and commercial terms are reasonably necessary in order for Ericsson or Ericsson’s authorized sublicensees to commence exercising their purchase rights as granted pursuant to Section 1 above, including engaging in discussions with Seller’s suppliers to enact procedures that would allow delivery of Goods directly to Ericsson, or Ericsson’s authorized sublicensees. Seller will provide to Ericsson the names and points of contact for the semiconductor fabricating contractor (currently Chartered Semiconductor for [*] and Fujitsu Manufacturing Limited for [*]) and the packaging contractor (currently Amkor for [*] and Kyocera for [*]) Seller has contracted to manufacture the Goods. Ericsson agrees that such information is Seller’s Confidential Information and Ericsson shall disclose such information only upon the grant of a license to Ericsson in accordance with this Exhibit and only for the Permitted Purpose, and then only to Ericsson’s employees, consultants, contractors or subcontractors with a need to know and who have executed a confidentiality agreement with Ericsson.

3 (a) If the Trigger Event occurs prior to completion of the agreement referenced in Section 3(b) below, Seller shall identify for Ericsson an individual who is knowledgeable about and trained in Seller’s supplier ordering procedures and supply chain logistics applicable to the Goods. That person will be assigned to assist Ericsson in planning and managing purchases and placing orders on behalf of Ericsson, or Ericsson’s authorized sublicensees, for the Goods with Seller’s suppliers for the Permitted Purpose, for a period of not more than [*].

(b) [*] of the date of execution of this Agreement, Seller will use commercially reasonable best efforts to enter into an agreement with a third party supplier through whom Ericsson or its designated Buyers may place orders for Goods for the Permitted Purpose if Seller is unable to do so because of the occurrence of a Trigger Event. Such agreement shall be presented to Ericsson and include all necessary licenses to enable Ericsson, or Ericsson’s authorized sublicensees, to place such orders for Goods. Provided, however, that Ericsson shall not be entitled to place such orders or otherwise purchase the Goods from or through such third party supplier except in the case that a Trigger Event has occurred, and then only in accordance with the Agreement and this Exhibit. Upon reaching the agreement with the third party supplier under this Section 3(b), Seller’s obligation under Section 3(a) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. In case Seller has not, despite using its commercially reasonable best efforts, succeeded in reaching such an agreement within the above time period, then the Parties shall meet to discuss in good faith alternative solutions, including a possible escrow arrangement.

4 For purposes of this Exhibit, “Trigger Event” shall mean a situation where;

(a) Seller is unable to supply Goods in accordance with the terms of the Agreement due to the fact that;

(i) it enters into a bankruptcy proceeding ceases to operate, or

(ii) substantially all of its business are terminated or are discontinued, or

(iii) it is liquidated or dissolved which make it impractical for it to perform under the Agreement, or

(iv) it makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, and such condition is not cured within [*]; or

(b) Seller, despite its ability to do so, is unwilling, and thereby fails, to supply Goods as required by the terms of the Agreement for more than [*] after the operative delivery date under a purchase order in accordance with the terms of the Agreement; or

(c) Seller is merged into or acquired by a competitor of Ericsson which, despite its ability to do so, is unwilling, and thereby fails, to supply Goods as required by the terms of the Agreement for more than [*] after the operative delivery date under a purchase order in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

5 In the event that Ericsson, or Ericsson’s authorized sublicensees, should exercise the rights granted under this Product Purchasing Rights Exhibit to order, purchase and take delivery of Goods under the Agreement directly from Seller’s Suppliers, Ericsson agrees to pay Seller or any Seller beneficiary the difference, if any, between the unit price it was to pay Seller as agreed in any applicable SPA for the Good and the actual per unit cost Ericsson or Ericsson’s Buyer pays in total for the Good directly to Seller’s suppliers.
