[*] STATEMENT OF QUALITY (REVISION 1.0)
This Statement of Quality (this "SoQ") is agreed to as of June 24, 2002 by and
between Western Digital TECHNOLOGIES ("WD") and Marvell asia pte ltd ("MAPL").
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to specify the quality and reliability
requirements for the [*] and to document the processes and procedures MAPL
shall employ to attain those requirements.
2. OVERVIEW OF [*] PROGRAM
[*] is the first generation of a family [*]. The intent of [*] and
follow-on versions is to take advantage of cost reduction opportunities.
The [*] is targeted for use in the WD [*] line of hard disk drive products.
2.1 Description of [*]
[*] is an [*] product for WD that integrates MAPL's proven technology
cores. [*] wafer fabrication uses the [*] process technology [*] and is
packaged in [*] body outline [*] package. Approximate die size for [*] is
[*].
2.2 Description of [*] Manufacturing Flow
Wafer fab is [*]. Wafer probe is performed at [*]. Package assembly
subcontractor is [*] Final test [*]. Parts are finished, packed and shipped
from [*].

3. QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
It is central to WD's mission to provide best-in-class quality and
reliability product to our customers. Consequently, components used in WD
HDD products must meet stringent levels of quality and reliability in terms
of expected fitness-for-use and failure during PCBA assembly and test, HDD
assembly and test, end customer integration, and field use. These
requirements are subject to review and change as the business situation
warrants, but no less than annually. MAPL understands and agrees that
failure to meet these quality levels will require immediate and resolute
actions to rectify in the most expeditious manner possible [*]. WD will
cooperate fully in these efforts. It is not WD's intention to reject
component shipments based upon occasional and marginal failure to meet
these quality levels. However, sustained quality excursions and/or
inability to correct quality problems to meet these requirements will
affect WD's ability to integrate said components and may be cause for
business interruptions, such as stop-ship orders (MSSO).
Current requirements as stated below should be viewed as minimum acceptable
criteria for[*]:
3.1 [*]
3.2 [*]
3.3 [*]
3.4 [*]
3.5 [*]
3.6 [*]
4. COMPONENT QUALIFICATION
WD has a comprehensive process in place to qualify components for
integration into our products. This process involves Engineering teams in
the US and in our factories and our suppliers, and concludes when the
component is listed unfettered on our Approved Vendor List (AVL). It must
be demonstrated that the component in question can achieve the quality
requirements listed above through direct measurement as well as artifices
such as accelerated life tests. The [*] attached hereto as Exhibit 1 lists
related actions required of the supplier in detail. It is incumbent upon
both parties to schedule this work such that the successful conclusion of
these tests occurs well before WD builds and ships products containing said
components.

5. QUALITY PROCESSES
Western Digital firmly believes that high quality products germinate from
high quality processes. In order to assure visibility into the quality of
our suppliers' processes, we request certain manufacturing data be made
available on a routine basis. This data is often expressed as process
capability measurements, wherein [*] is viewed as a minimum to assure
consistent product attributes. The following is a list of typical critical
manufacturing parameters for [*]:

6. SUPPLIER QUALITY MEASUREMENT
Suppliers of significant components are measured by WD in a formal ongoing
process, culminating in the Quarterly Business Review (QBR) meeting. [*]%
of the QBR rating is the Supplier Quality Rating (SQR), a method of rating
and ranking suppliers according to achieving the required quality and
reliability metrics. The most heavily-weighted elements of the SQR are [*].
