THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS AN ACCEPTANCE OF THE CUSTOMER'S PURCHASE ORDER
ONLY FOR THOSE GOODS WITH AN ACTEL CORPORATION (HEREINAFTER CALLED "SELLER")

IS CONDITIONAL UPON THE CUSTOMER'S CONSENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
SET FORTH HEREIN, WHICH ARE IN LIEU OF AND REPLACE ANY AND ALL TERMS
AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH ON CUSTOMER'S PURCHASE ORDER, SPECIFICATIONS,
OR OTHER DOCUMENT ISSUED BY CUSTOMER. ANY ADDITIONAL, DIFFERENT, OR
CONFLICTING TERMS OR CONDITIONS ON ANY SUCH DOCUMENT ISSUED BY CUSTOMER
EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER ISSUANCE OF THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT ARE HEREBY OBJECTED
TO BY SELLER, AND ANY SUCH DOCUMENT SHALL BE WHOLLY INAPPLICABLE TO
ANY SALE MADE UNDER THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND SHALL NOT BE BINDING IN
ANY WAY ON SELLER. No waiver or amendment of any of the provisions
of this acknowledgment shall be binding on SELLER unless made in a
writing expressly stating that it is such a waiver or amendment and
signed by an authorized representative of SELLER.
- SOFTWARE LICENSE. The CUSTOMER acknowledges that
its use of any of the SELLER'S software products delivered hereunder
shall be subject to corresponding execution of SELLER'S standard
Software License Agreement, which defines the terms on which the
CUSTOMER shall be entitled to use such software products.
Unless otherwise stated on the face of this acknowledgment (or otherwise
agreed in writing by SELLER), all payments are due and payable thirty
(30) days from the date of invoice. Accounts thirty (30) days past
due will be subject to a monthly charge at the rate of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month to cover the costs of servicing these accounts.
All payments shall be made to SELLER at 2061 Stierlin Court, Mountain
View, CA 94043, or such other address as SELLER shall designate. If
all the goods covered by this acknowledgment are not delivered at the
time of scheduled delivery, that is, only a partial delivery is rendered,
the CUSTOMER shall pay the unit prices for the goods delivered as determined
by SELLER in its sole discretion. Each delivery, whether full or partial,
shall be considered a separate and independent transaction. All deliveries
and performance of work covered by this acknowledgment shall at all
times be subject to the credit approval of SELLER, and SELLER may at
any time decline to make any shipments or deliveries, or perform any
work, except upon receipt of payment or upon terms and conditions or
security arrangements satisfactory to SELLER.
- Except as provided in Section 3 (b) below, the prices for the goods
covered hereby shall be those shown on the face of this acknowledgment,
provided, however, that if such prices are based on the purchase
of a particular quantity of goods and CUSTOMER fails to purchase
such quantity, SELLER shall have the right (in addition to any other
rights and remedies SELLER may have) to collect from CUSTOMER the
difference between the price paid by CUSTOMER for the goods purchased
and SELLER'S standard price ordinarily charged for such goods in
the quantity purchased by CUSTOMER.
- In the event that the price of precious metals that are incorporated
into the goods rises prior to the delivery of such goods by SELLER,
SELLER may reasonably adjust the prices set forth in the acknowledgment
by written notice to CUSTOMER.
- As security for CUSTOMER'S performance of its obligations hereunder,
SELLER hereby reserves a purchase money security interest in all
goods sold by SELLER to CUSTOMER, and in the proceeds thereof. In
the event of default by CUSTOMER in any of its obligations to SELLER
hereunder, SELLER may repossess the goods sold hereunder without
liability to CUSTOMER. A copy of the invoice covering the goods may
be filed with appropriate authorities at any time as a financing
statement and/or chattel mortgage to perfect SELLER'S security interest.
On request of SELLER, CUSTOMER shall execute such financing statements
and other instruments that SELLER may reasonably request to perfect
SELLER'S security interest. Furthermore, SELLER is authorized to
execute and file on CUSTOMER'S behalf, a financing statement evidencing
this security interest.
- Unless otherwise stated on the face hereof, the prices for the
goods covered hereby do not include costs of special packaging or
shipping.
Unless otherwise stated on the face hereof, the prices for the goods
covered hereby do not include customs duties or sales, use, excise,
or other similar taxes of any federal, state, local or foreign governmental
authority. The CUSTOMER shall pay, in addition to the prices quoted,
the amount of any present or future customs duties or sales, use, excise
or other similar tax applicable to the sale of goods or performance
of services covered by this acknowledgment, or in lieu thereof the
CUSTOMER shall supply SELLER with an appropriate tax exemption certificate.
- Incoterms. The parties hereto agree to the incorporation
by reference and use of Incoterms 2000 as published by the International
Chamber of Commerce.
- Ex Works. Delivery shall be EXW Mountain View,
California, USA, EXW Fremont, California, USA, Incoterms 2000 or,
as may be appropriate for international orders, SELLER'S supplier
facilities EXW Singapore, EXW Hong Kong, EXW South Korea or EXW Philippines.
- Time of Delivery. The SELLER will make its best
efforts to make all deliveries, whether full or partial, in accordance
with the established delivery schedule set forth in this acknowledgement
or as may be otherwise later revised. Delivery shall be deemed completed
when SELLER places the goods at the disposal of CUSTOMER'S carrier
at the SELLER'S facility in Mountain View, California, or at SELLER'S
supplier facilities in Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea or Philippines,
not cleared for export and not loaded on any collecting vehicle.
Upon such delivery of the goods by SELLER to the CUSTOMER'S carrier,
title to the goods will pass to the CUSTOMER, and CUSTOMER will thereupon
be solely responsible for and bear the entire risk of any loss or
damage to the goods.
- Delivery Dates. The delivery dates set forth on
this acknowledgment are approximate only. Therefore, both full and
partial deliveries are authorized hereunder, thus the SELLER shall
not be liable for, nor shall SELLER be in breach of, its obligations
to the CUSTOMER because of any partial delivery made at the time
of scheduled delivery or because of any delivery made within a reasonable
time after the stated delivery date. SELLER may change any delivery
date and such date shall become the agreed upon delivery date unless
CUSTOMER objects to such date in writing.
- Packaging. The goods shall be packed by SELLER
and will be delivered for shipment in standard commercial packaging.
When special or export packaging is requested or, in the opinion
of SELLER, is required under the circumstances to minimize risk of
loss or damage in transit, the cost of the same, if not set forth
on the invoice for delivery, will be separately invoiced to the CUSTOMER.
SELLER shall not be liable for any failure to deliver, or delay in
the delivery of, any goods due to any cause beyond its control, including
but not limited to acts of God, fires, labor disputes, governmental
actions, or inability to obtain materials, components, energy, manufacturing
facilities, or transportation. The date of delivery or SELLER'S performance
hereunder shall be extended by a period equal to the time lost by reason
of such delay in the event SELLER'S production is curtailed for any
of the above reasons. Furthermore, in such event SELLER may allocate
its production as it determines in its sole discretion among its various
CUSTOMERS.
- Data and Proprietary Rights in Data. Portions
of the data supplied by SELLER hereunder are proprietary to SELLER.
SELLER retains for itself all proprietary rights in and to all designs,
engineering details and other data pertaining to any goods sold except
where rights are assigned under written agreement by a corporate
officer of SELLER.
- Sale Conveys no License. The
goods sold hereunder are offered for sale and are sold by the SELLER
subject in every case to the condition that such sale does not convey
any license, expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise,
under any patent claim with respect to which SELLER can grant licenses
covering complete equipment, or any assembly, circuit combination,
method or process in which any such goods are used as components.
SELLER expressly reserves all of its rights under such patent claims.
- SELLER warrants that semiconductor devices, other than prototypes,
as to which no warranty applies, delivered hereunder shall be free
from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service
for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery at SELLER'S
facility.

devices, delivered hereunder shall be free from defects in material
and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one
(1) year from the date of delivery at SELLER'S facility. SELLER warrants
that Evaluation Boards, delivered hereunder, shall be free from defects
in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period
of three (3) months from the date of delivery from SELLER'S facility.
This warranty is invalidated if any alterations are done to the Evaluation
Board by any person or entity other than SELLER.
- If, during the applicable warranty period for any goods delivered
hereunder described above (i) SELLER is notified promptly in writing
upon discovery of any defect in the goods, including a detailed description
of such defect, (ii) such goods are returned to SELLER, Ex Works
CUSTOMER'S facility, and (iii) SELLER'S examination of such goods
discloses to SELLER'S satisfaction that such goods are defective
and such defects are not caused by accident, abuse, misuse, neglect,
alteration, improper installation, repair or alteration by someone
other than SELLER, improper testing, or use contrary to any instructions
issued by SELLER; then within a reasonable time SELLER shall repair
or replace any such defective goods and return the repaired or replacement
goods to CUSTOMER, transportation collect. In no event shall SELLER
be liable for any consequential or incidental damages. Prior to any
return of goods by the CUSTOMER pursuant to this Section 7, the CUSTOMER
shall afford SELLER the opportunity to inspect such goods at the
CUSTOMER'S location, and any such goods so inspected shall not be
returned to SELLER without its prior written consent. The performance
of this warranty does not extend the warranty period for any goods
beyond that period applicable to the goods originally delivered.
The foregoing warranty is the only warranty made by SELLER with respect
to the goods delivered hereunder and constitutes SELLER'S exclusive
liability, and the exclusive remedy of the CUSTOMER, for any defect,
failure of performance, or other nonconformity of the goods covered
by this acknowledgment.

in SELLER'S software license agreement.

hereof.
- In the event of any such breach by CUSTOMER, SELLER may, by written
notice to CUSTOMER, terminate the order covered hereby or any part

patent, trademark or copyright that the CUSTOMER gives SELLER immediate
notice in writing of any such suit, permits SELLER, through counsel
of its choice, to answer the charge of infringement and defend such
suit, and gives SELLER all the needed information, assistance and
authority, at SELLER'S expense, to enable SELLER to defend or settle
such suit. SELLER shall not in any event be responsible for infringements

to the goods by any person other than SELLER or from the use of such

in any such suit, SELLER shall pay such award, but shall not be responsible
for any settlement made without its prior written consent. If the
goods furnished by SELLER are held in and of themselves in any such
suit to constitute infringement and their use is enjoined. SELLER
will at its own option and expense: (1) procure for CUSTOMER the
right to use, lease or sell such goods; (2) replace such goods (3)
modify such goods; or (4) remove such goods and refund the aggregate
payments made by CUSTOMER, less a reasonable sum for use, damage
and obsolescence. THIS SECTION 9(a) STATES SELLER'S TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY
AND LIABILITY, AND THE CUSTOMER'S SOLE REMEDY, FOR ANY ACTUAL OR
ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT BY ANY
GOODS DELIVERED; HEREUNDER OR ANY PART THEREOF. THIS SECTION 9(a)

WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT.
- The CUSTOMER shall, at its own expense, indemnify and hold SELLER
harmless from and against any expense or loss resulting from any

or instructions, and CUSTOMER shall defend at its own expense, including
attorneys' fees, any suit brought against SELLER alleging any such
infringement, provided that SELLER (i) gives the CUSTOMER immediate
notice of any such suit and permits the CUSTOMER through counsel
of its choice to defend such suit, and (ii) gives the CUSTOMER all
needed information, assistance and authority, at the CUSTOMER'S expense,
necessary for the CUSTOMER to defend any such suit.

SELLER, at its option, to either terminate the purchase order or
demand proof of compliance therewith from the CUSTOMER.

acknowledgment without the prior written consent of SELLER, and any
purported assignment without such consent shall have no force or
effect.
