AMENDMENT ONE TO THE WAFER SUPPLY AND SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT ONE TO THE SKYWORKS WAFER SUPPLY AND SERVICES AGREEMENT (the "Amendment One") is entered into as of May 2, 2003 (the "Amendment One Effective Date") by and between JAZZ SEMICONDUCTOR, a Delaware limited liability company ("Jazz" or "Company"), and SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Skyworks").
RECITALS
A. Conexant Systems, Inc. ("Conexant"), Company, and Carlyle Capital Investors, L.L.C. entered into a Contribution Agreement dated February 23, 2002 pursuant to which Conexant contributed to Company the assets used to provide specialty process foundry services and to manufacture semiconductor wafers at a facility in Newport Beach, California (the "Newport Beach Fab").
B. A WAFER SUPPLY AND SERVICES AGREEMENT was entered into as of March 30, 2002, by and between CONEXANT SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Conexant"), and SPECIALTYSEMI, INC.,a Delaware corporation currently known as Jazz Semiconductor (the "CNXT Supply Agreement").
C. Skyworks was formed in June, 2002 through the completion of the merger between Alpha Industries, Inc. and Conexant's wireless communications business and Skyworks, under a separate agreement with Conexant dated June 25, 2002, agreed to assume a portion of the volume commitment set forth in the CNXT Supply Agreement and undertook other related obligations ("SWKS CNXT Supply Agreement"). Jazz acknowledges the Skyworks wafer purchases to date have been counted toward Conexant's volume commitment as set forth in Section 2.1(f) of the CNXT Supply Agreement. Section 2.1(f) of the CNXT Supply Agreement is attached for reference purposes as Exhibit H.
D. The CNXT Supply Agreement contains Section 2.1 (f) (iii), stating each Conexant Spin-off (a "Participating Spin-off") may enter into a separate agreement with Jazz containing all of the terms and conditions of the CNXT Supply Agreement. Skyworks acknowledges that the SWKS CNXT Supply Agreement specifically excludes Section 2.1(f) (Purchase for Certain Entities) and 6.2 (Wafer Credits). Pursuant to Section 2.1(f)(iii) of the CNXT Supply Agreement, Skyworks and Company entered into THE SKYWORKS WAFER SUPPLY AND SERVICES AGREEMENT (the "SWKS Supply Agreement") as of May 2, 2003.
E. Skyworks and Jazz wish to modify certain terms contained in the SWKS Supply Agreement regarding (1) the Jazz Wafer Capacity Commitment; (2) [...***...] (3) second sourcing for the manufacturing of Skyworks silicon demand; and (4) Contract Pricing. Skyworks desires a longer term and more definitive additional capacity assurances, and Jazz desires a more definitive commitment regarding the manufacturing requirement for Skyworks' product demand.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in the SWKS Supply Agreement, and in this Amendment One, the Parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT

Selected Sections from the CNXT Supply Agreement
2.1 (f) Purchases for Certain Entities. Company agrees that Conexant, as agent, may place orders for any Conexant Spin-Off or Conexant Affiliate, under the same terms and conditions for Wafers established under this Supply Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that at any time after a Conexant Spin-off commences operations as a separate legal entity, (1) Conexant may partition the Wafer Volume Commitments between Conexant and Conexant Spin-offs, assuring that the total volume meets the total Wafer Volume Commitment; (ii) Conexant and Conexant Spin-offs may partition Wafer Credits between them, provided that the total number of Wafer Credits held by Conexant and all Conexant Spin-offs will not exceed the original number of Wafer Credits and (iii) each Conexant Spin-off (a "Participating Spin-off') may enter into a separate agreement with Company containing all of the terms and conditions of this Supply Agreement, in which case the Participating Spin-off will order Wafers directly from Company. Company will have the right to review the allocation of Wafer Volume Commitments, Wafer Credits, and other rights hereunder partitioned and assigned to each Participating Spin-off; and Conexant will work in good faith with Company to resolve any reasonable objections that the Company may have to such allocation. If Conexant and Participating Spin-offs partition Wafer Volume Commitments as set forth above, the determination of whether the Wafer Volume Commitment is Met will be determined on a collective basis, and no additional payments to meet the Wafer Volume Commitment will be due to Company if the total number of Wafers purchased by Conexant and Participating Spin-offs is sufficient to meet or exceed the applicable Wafer Volume Commitment. Conexant will remain responsible to Company for satisfaction of Wafer purchase and payment obligations hereunder regardless of whether it is Conexant itself or a Participating Spin-off that fails to satisfy any such obligations. In the event that a third party acquires any Participating Spin-off, its business, or all or substantially all of its assets, then such third party may only assume the rights of Participating Spin-offs hereunder with respect to Wafer types of such Participating Spin-off that have been manufactured or are under development by the Newport Beach Fab at the time of such acquisition.
