PURCHASED EQUIPMENT COST will be recovered by PI through the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT DISCOUNT defined in Section 19.8. Until the date title to the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT is transferred to OKI in accordance with Section 19.9, PI will own the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT and pay the Fixed Property Tax levied annually on the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT as set forth above in this Section 19.2. OKI shall not lend or transfer the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT to any third party or encumber the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT with any lien or other security interest while the same is owned by PI, without PI’s prior written consent.

19.3The VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT will be delivered and installed in OKI’s wafer fabrication facility in [***].

In addition, OKI will buy insurance for the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT.

19.5OKI shall not modify the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT without the prior written approval of Pl. PI shall determine whether the approved modification requires re-qualification of the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT. The parties will mutually agree who will pay for such modifications.

19.8On and after the date OKI receives the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT and until title to the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT is transferred to OKI in accordance with Section 19.9 below, the price of each VC WAFER purchased and accepted by Pl shall be a price that is discounted from the VC WAFERS BASE PRICE by [***] or by any other amount agreed to in writing by the parties (“VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT DISCOUNT”).

19.9When the total VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT DISCOUNT received by PI for VC WAFERS purchased and accepted by PI equals [***] of the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT COST, OKI will pay the remaining [***] of the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT COST, and all right, title and interest in such VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT shall then automatically be transferred from PI to OKI and such VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT will not thereafter be returned to PI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should this Agreement terminate or expire before such transfer, OKI will assist PI, free of charge, in the removal and the return to PI of the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT. All packing and shipping cost for such return shall be borne by PI.

Article 20.(ADDITIONAL VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT)

XII.Delete EXHIBIT B (WAFERS PRICE) and substitute therefor:

EXHIBIT B

WAFERS PRICE

SC WAFERS BASE_PRICE (manufactured at [***]) = [***]

SC WAFERS BASE_PRICE (manufactured at [***]) = [***]

DC WAFERS BASE_PRICE = [***]

VC WAFERS BASE_PRICE = [***] plus cost of VC STARTING WAFER

F/X_BASE = [***]

Initial F/X_RATE = [***]

Confidential6‌

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT POWER INTEGRATIONS INC. TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.

A new F/X_RATE is only established at the time of placing a PO for WAFERS if the Previous Month’s Average daily exchange rate is equal to or greater than [***] from the current F/X_RATE. The new F/X_RATE will be set to the Previous Month’s Average exchange rate and will remain in effect for at least the month it was established.

The actual WAFERS PURCHASE_PRICE, by WAFER TYPE, used at the time of order will be calculated by the following formula:

PURCHASE_PRICE = [***]

Examples: For SC WAFERS with a BASE_PRICE of [***]

1) Nominal F/X Rate Example: F/X_RATE = [***]:

PURCHASE_PRICE = [***]

2) Higher F/X Rate Example: New F/X_RATE = [***]:

PURCHASE_PRICE = [***]

3) Lower F/X Rate Example: New F/X_RATE = [***]:

PURCHASE_PRICE = [***]

The term of validity for the DC WAFERS BASE PRICE above shall be from the Effective Date until [***] years from the Effective Date of this Agreement or until the date on which [***] DC WAFERS have been accepted by PI under this Agreement, provided, however, that both parties shall review the DC WAFERS BASE_PRICE at any time during such [***] year period upon request of either party, if either party considers that the quantity of DC WAFERS to be purchased by PI during such [***] year period does not reach [***] WAFERS. After such term of validity, DC WAFERS BASE PRICE shall be [***].

If PI purchases VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT pursuant to Article 20 (“VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT”) then, effective as of the date OKI receives the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT, the VC WAFERS BASE_PRICE shall be discounted by the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT DISCOUNT until such time as the number of VC WAFERS thereafter purchased and accepted by PI multiplied by the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT DISCOUNT equals the VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT PRICE. Thereafter, there shall be no further VC PURCHASED EQUIPMENT DISCOUNT from the VC WAFERS BASE_PRICE.
