2. WAFER MANUFACTURING CAPACITY
----------------------------


2.1 WAFER CAPACITY ALLOCATION
-------------------------


Subject to the provisions herein, CSM will provide Wafer
processing services to Customer at FABII for the fabrication of
Wafers. Customer's Wafer Capacity Allocation will be determined by
the aggregate amount of share capital to be subscribed by Customer
in the capital of CSM pursuant to the Analog Devices Subscription
Agreement. A commitment to subscribe for an aggregate of no less
than the Minimum Threshold Level will entitle Customer to ***
Wafers per month. The Wafer Capacity Allocation for a greater
subscription commitment will be pro-rated at the rate of ***
Wafers per month to ********* 'B' Ordinary Shares for every
Subscription Share as defined in the Analog Devices Subscription
Agreement beyond the Minimum Threshold Level. Such Wafer Capacity
Allocation is subject to change in accordance with Clauses 2.2,
3.1.4 and 3.1.5 hereof and to Clauses 4.2 (Effect on Wafer
Manufacturing Capacity) and 10.4 (Effect on ADI's Wafer
Manufacturing Rights Upon Transfer) of the Analog Devices
Subscription Agreement.


2.2 CAPACITY ALLOCATION DURING RAMP-UP PERIOD
-----------------------------------------


2.2.1 Customer acknowledges that the total Wafer
Capacity Allocation made available to it is ****
Wafers per month.

2.2.2 Customer hereby agrees that it will have first
priority on available capacity up to an aggregate of
**** wafers per month and that during FABII's ramp-up
period, Customer's Wafer Capacity Allocation will be
pro-rated in accordance with its shareholding in CSM
relative to the shareholdings of other
shareholder-customers of CSM who have entered into
manufacturing agreements with CSM.


2.3 ADDITIONAL FABII CAPACITY
-------------------------


2.3.1 In addition to the Wafer Capacity Allocation,
Customer together with other shareholder-customers of
CSM who have entered into manufacturing agreements with
CSM shall have a first right of refusal on additional
available FABII capacity at the price set forth in
Clause 6.2 and on terms which the Parties agree to
negotiate in good faith save that if such additional
capacity falls short of the demand from all
shareholder-customers, such capacity shall be allocated
to Customer and the other shareholder-customers pro-rata
to their equity holding in CSM.


2.3.2 Any supply and purchase of additional available
capacity pursuant to Clause 2.3.1 shall be subject to
the conclusion of a wafer supply agreement embodying the
terms agreed between the Parties. The terms of such
wafer supply agreement shall include, inter alia, (a)
Customer's purchase commitment, and (b) a provision
that where Customer's actual orders fall below the
purchase commitment and CSM is unable to sell the excess
capacity to third parties, then Customer shall reimburse
CSM for the unsold capacity *************************
**************************.


2.4 MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT
-----------------------


Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the
Analog Devices Subscription Agreement, Customer may, provided that
there are no outstanding breaches by it of the Manufacturing
Agreement and the Analog Devices Subscription Agreement, by prior
written notice assign the right to purchase Wafers to an Affiliate
(as defined in the Analog Devices Subscription Agreement), but
this shall not in any way relieve such Customer from any
obligations hereunder.

its rolling ********* forecast of its monthly volume
requirements. The first ********* of each *********
forecast shall be firm and shall be backed by purchase
orders. The initial ******* forecast shall be
accompanied by firm orders for the first ********.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, forecasts during such
first ********* shall be subject to adjustments
(consistent with CSM's cycle time) as determined by
mutual agreement to be negotiated between Customer and
CSM subsequent to this Agreement. Every subsequent
monthly forecast shall be accompanied by a firm order
for the month immediately following the last month in
respect of which a firm order was given.


3.1.2 Best Estimate
-------------


Customer's forecasts shall represent Customer's good
faith estimate of Wafer requirements.


3.1.3 Forecast Below Allocation

Where for any consecutive ******* period, Customer's actual
