separate product/module (i.e. an upgrade).
60. “Usage-Based Additional Fee” or “UB-AF” means a fee, for Products or Services identified on an
Order as subject to such fee, for usage beyond the quantity expressly purchased/included (e.g.,
Committed Minimum) in an Order, as such fees are set forth in such Order.
61. “Usage-Based Pricing Details” or “UB-PD” means the specific measurement and reporting
requirements for the Products included in an Order that are priced by usage (e.g., WPU, THU, etc.)
and defined for such Products either in such Order or in the version of the document of the same

the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the definitions in the Agreement between PDF and
Licensee and these GTC, the meanings given in the Agreement shall control.
2. Quoted Pricing. The Products and Services and pricing in a Quote are guaranteed only through the
Pricing Expiration Date set forth in such Quote. However, at any time before the one-year
anniversary of the Quote Issue Date set forth in such Quote, PDF may in its discretion (a) Accept
Licensee’s (or, if applicable, Licensee's purchasing/paying agent's) PO issued after such date,
and/or (b), such Quote allows for signatures, countersign Licensee’s signed Quote, in either of which
case, the Products and Services and pricing in such Quote are deemed valid through the date of
such Acceptance/full-execution.
5. Hosted Software. Licensee has no right to receive, and PDF shall not deliver to Licensee (or allow
Licensee to download), an executable for any Cloud Software. Related to such Cloud Software,
however, PDF may allow Licensee to download certain de minimus accessory programs/utilities
(e.g., for assisting in data transfer to the CloudSite from the Licensee’s facilities). If a Tool or
Equipment type or model is specified on an Order, then mapping and driver Software only for such
type or model is included with the Software. Additional mapping and driver Software, e.g., for
additional tool/equipment types/models that are supported by PDF, may be purchased separately
from PDF.
6. Hardware Specs; Required Third Party Programs. Licensee acknowledges that On-Premise
Software requires servers, other hardware, and operating system software to run and that, while
PDF may provide specifications for such requirements, Licensee is solely responsible for acquiring,
providing, and maintaining such servers, other hardware, and operating system software
appropriately to run the Software. Further, most On-Premise Software requires an Oracle database
to operate or function as intended in the Documentation, and some Products may require other
Products (e.g., listed as a prerequisite on the Order), which, in each case, is not included unless
itemized on the Order. If the Oracle database (listed as Embedded Oracle) is not itemized on the
Order, Licensee acknowledges it is solely responsible for acquiring, providing, and maintaining such
database. Prerequisite Products and Embedded Oracle may usually be purchased from PDF.
7. Data Compatibility. Licensee acknowledges that Licensee Data that does not conform to the
standards in the Documentation may not be compatible for use with the Software without substantial
engineering and data integration work, which must be separately purchased from PDF unless
itemized in an Order and in sufficient quantities to complete such work. PDF does not guarantee the
success of any Services and where a number of days (or a not-to-exceed (NTE) number of person-
days (i.e. 8-hours)) is specified, PDF’s obligation ends at the completion of such time/effort.
8. Hardware and Peripherals. Certain Software may be delivered together with a dongle or GPIB
interface card or other hardware (including, in some cases, servers), which, (a) if included and not
Page 7 of 14
v2023.6
itemized on the Order as sold/passed-through, remain PDF property and are Licensed to Licensee
only for use in connection with validly-licensed Software during the Term for such Software, (b) if
identified as sold/passed-through, ownership of such hardware/peripheral passes to Licensee upon
payment therefore. In the case of a sale/pass-through, PDF passes through all manufacturer
warranties and purchased support for such hardware/peripheral and has no liability, and makes no
warranty, for such hardware/peripheral or support therefor. In the case of Licensed PDF property,
upon PDF's request, all Licensed hardware/peripherals provided by PDF in connection with use of
Licensed Software shall be returned to PDF at the end of the Term.
9. Third-Party Programs; Open-Source Licenses. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that certain
TPP provided with the Software may be available pursuant to the General Public License (“GPL”) or
other open-source license. The Agreement does not replace or otherwise amend any of Licensee’s
rights or obligations pursuant to the GPL or such other open-source license with respect to any use,
distribution, or sublicensing of any such TPP. With respect to TPP that are not licensed to the
general public (i.e. open source), the additional terms and conditions set forth in Section C of these
GTC apply (as applicable, i.e. whether Oracle Programs or other TPP). As used in Section C,
“Licensor” means PDF or PDF’s authorized reseller, distributor, or other channel partner with the
right to sub-license PDF Products directly to end users.
10. Notifications. Licensee shall not remove, or permit the removal, of any copyright or trademark notices
on any Software, Hardware, or Documentation. Each copy of Software and Documentation that
Licensee is permitted to make hereunder must contain the same proprietary or copyright notices that
appear on the Software and Documentation as furnished to Licensee by PDF.
11. Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Licensee acknowledges that, as between PDF
and Licensee, PDF has and shall retain all right, title and interest (including, without limitation, all
intellectual property rights) in and to the Software, Hardware, Documentation, and all works resulting
from any Services performed by PDF hereunder, regardless of whether such works were initiated or
implemented by PDF or Licensee or whether created specifically for Licensee’s use of the Software,
Hardware, or otherwise. All third-party licensors and suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in
TPP and all copies thereof, including all copyright and other intellectual property rights.
12. Purchase Orders. All POs are subject to PDF’s Acceptance. Licensee shall (directly or through its
paying agent, if applicable) issue and deliver to PDF one or more PO(s) according to the invoicing
schedule set forth in each Order. Failure to issue one or more such POs does not invalidate
Licensee’s obligation to pay the total price in the Order. In addition, Licensee shall issue and deliver
to PDF PO(s) in sufficient amounts to cover all actual travel and stay expenses due to PDF under
the Agreement and any Usage-Based Additional Fees provided for in, and due under, the
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Licensee’s issuance of a PO for any Product or
Service set forth on a Quote evidences Licensee’s agreement to purchase all Products and Services
set forth on such Quote; in the event the Parties agree to reduce such obligation in any way, such
agreement is only valid if PDF notes such agreement on Licensee’s PO and signs such notation.
PO, even if Accepted by PDF, are not permitted to modify or vary the terms of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any PO and PDF’s Acceptance of such PO, no additional
or different terms and conditions included on any PO shall be accepted by, or binding on, the Parties
without a valid Amendment of the Agreement, and all such terms are hereby rejected by the Parties.
13. Invoicing. PDF will submit invoices for the Software, Hardware, and Services set forth on each
Order with the timing or frequency set forth thereon or, if not included on the Order, upon initial
delivery of licenses for Software, delivery of Hardware, and the start of each type of Services. All
invoices are due and payable as set forth in the Agreement or Order or, if not included in either place,
Net 30 from invoice date. Licensee shall make all payments under the Agreement by wire transfer to
PDF’s bank account in United States Dollars. Amounts not paid in accordance herewith shall be
subject to a late charge equal to 1.5% per month (or the maximum allowed by applicable law,
whichever is less). Without prejudice to other remedies available, PDF reserves the right to suspend
Licenses to Software and performance and delivery of Services (including, without limitation, M&S
Services) until any payment delinquency is corrected. If Licensee is required to pay any Taxes,
Licensee shall pay such Taxes with no reduction or offset in the invoiced amount actually remitted to
PDF under the Agreement. If the event applicable law requires PDF to initially pay any Taxes related
to the Agreement, PDF will add such Taxes to its invoice. In the event applicable law imposes a VAT
Page 8 of 14
v2023.6
and requires or allows Licensee to self-asses such VAT, Licensee will bear the obligation to account
for VAT and will self-assess VAT under the reverse-charge mechanism on all sums due to PDF.
Consistent with the above allocation of obligations as applicable under the Agreement, the Parties
will exercise commercially reasonable cooperation in (i) effecting the intent of this paragraph, (ii)
communicating with tax authorities as appropriate, and (iii) obtaining for, or providing to, the
applicable Party government certificates, receipts, or other documents as appropriate. PDF's
obligation to provide Services and access to, use of, or license files for, as applicable, for Software
for any part of the Term for which PDF has not received payment in accordance with the invoicing
schedule and/or payment terms is excused (without liability and without change to Licensee’s
payment obligations).
14. Lapsed M&S Services. In the event that Licensee chooses not to renew M&S Services upon
expiration of the then-current M&S Services period and thereafter desires to reinstate M&S Services,
such reinstatement will require payment of all previously unpaid M&S Services fees through and
including the reinstatement period, and payment of an additional reinstatement fee equal to 33% of
such previously unpaid M&S Services fees. Reinstatement shall entitle Licensee to delivery of all
Updates and other M&S Services through the date of such reinstatement. Licensee shall have no right
to receive, and PDF shall have no obligation to provide to Licensee, any M&S Services during any
period for which Licensee is not current on M&S Services fees. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary or the general provision of such services to other licensees, PDF shall have the right
hereunder, without any liability or penalty, to refuse to renew any lapsed M&S Services.
15. Remedies. Licensee recognizes and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by
Licensee of the Agreement, PDF may suffer irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone
would not adequately compensate PDF and, therefore, agrees that, in addition to all other remedies
available to PDF at law, in equity, by agreement or otherwise, PDF is entitled to immediate injunctive
or other equitable relief for the enforcement of any such obligation without the necessity of posting any
bond or other security. Nothing in this provision is intended or shall be interpreted to replace, waive,
lessen, or otherwise alter any obligations of the Parties set forth elsewhere in the Agreement.
16. Export Regulation. Licensee acknowledges that certain of the products, information, and/or
services that PDF may make available to Licensee may be subject to applicable export control or
related laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, availability and any PDF
obligations to provide such items are subject to such laws and regulations, and the Parties agree
that in the event such laws and regulations restrict PDF from providing such items, PDF will be
excused from such obligation without liability, penalty, or compensation. Licensee confirms it will
comply with any such applicable laws and regulations, and without limiting the foregoing, (i) will not
export, reexport, transfer, or divert such PDF items to a country, entity, or individual without a
required license or other government authorization; and (ii) will not export, reexport, transfer, divert,
or allow any third party to use such PDF items in any activities related to the development,
production, storing or testing of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons or missiles. Licensee
certifies that it does not develop, produce, maintain, or use military items, that it is not a military end-
user, and that such PDF items are not intended for a military end-use or military end-user.
17. Storage. Storage related to Hosted Software is usually included with HMS and the specific
parameters of such storage are set forth in the Order. If “Storage” is separately itemized on an Order
(which may occur related to older PDF Products), then during applicable Term for such Storage,
PDF will provide regular storage utilization notifications by email to Licensee’s designated admin
user when storage usage exceeds 90% of the purchased Storage. In the event Licensee’s actual
storage exceeds 100% of purchased Storage, PDF shall invoice and Licensee shall pay for any
additional storage at the same per GB rate under which Licensee originally purchased the Storage,
in 50 GB increments, due immediately and payable within 30 days of the date of issuance of any
such invoice. PDF reserves the right to block any further data loading if Licensee does not make
timely payment of such invoice. Licensee may also purchase via Order any other services provided
by PDF related to the Hosted Software (e.g., installation and training) at additional fees set forth on a
future PDF quotation upon Licensee’s request. PDF shall back up all Licensee Data on the
purchased Storage at the times designated on PDF’s Support terms available at
www.pdf.com/support, and Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the Hosted Software will be
unavailable during this and other scheduled downtime, as well as during unscheduled downtime, i.e.
windows of unavailability, that may also occur.

v2023.6
18. Logs and Verification. Upon PDF’s request, Licensee shall provide PDF with quarterly automated
logs of On-Premise Software usage to the extent any such data or reports are available through the
Software. In the event of Hosted Software, Licensee agrees that PDF may access the Software to
gather such information itself. Upon reasonable notice to Licensee and no more than once per year
(except upon specific cause), PDF and its representatives, at PDF’s expense, shall have a right to
review Licensee’s use of the Software to verify Licensee’s compliance with the terms and conditions
of the Agreement, and Licensee will provide PDF and its representatives with access to such
facilities, equipment, data, documentation, logs, records, reports and other information and materials
(whether tangible or intangible) as PDF or its representatives may reasonably request as necessary
for such review.
19. Audit Rights. During the term of the Agreement and for three (3) years after termination or expiration,
both Parties will maintain complete records of the number of Named Users, storage allocated, and
any other information reasonably required to calculate and track the fees (including Usage-Based
Additional Fees) and Services to be provided hereunder. Upon reasonable notice to Licensee, PDF
may audit the applicable records and accounts of Licensee during Licensee’s normal business hours
and in such a manner as to avoid unreasonable interference with Licensee’s business operations.
PDF shall bear costs and expenses associated with the exercise of its right to audit except that in
the event of an underpayment of more than ten percent (10%) of the amount due for the period
audited, Licensee shall pay all costs associated with such audit. In the event that PDF determines
that Licensee has underpaid any payment due under this Agreement, PDF shall notify Licensee in
writing of the alleged discrepancy. If there has been a shortfall, such shortfall shall be due and
payable (plus a late charge equal to one and one-half percent (1.5 %) per month, or the highest rate
permitted by law, applied until full payment is made) within thirty (30) days of such shortfall.
20. Independent Contractors. PDF and Licensee shall perform their obligations under the Agreement
as independent contractors, and nothing contained in the Agreement shall be construed to create or
imply a joint venture, partnership, principal-agent, or employment relationship between the Parties.
Neither Party shall take any action or permit any action to be taken on its behalf which purports to be
done in the name of or on behalf of the other Party and shall have no power or authority to bind the
other Party to assume or create any obligation or responsibility express or implied on the other Party’s
behalf or in its name, nor shall such Party represent to any one that it has such power or authority.
21. Non-Solicit. During the term of the Agreement and, in the event of termination, for one year following
such termination, Licensee agrees not to solicit, canvass, induce, or encourage directly or indirectly
any employee or contractor of PDF to leave the employment of PDF or, in the case of a contractor, to
contract directly with Licensee to provide similar services with respect to the Software.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prohibit (or be interpreted to prohibit) Licensee’s hiring
of any candidate that applies for a publicly-listed position without such inducement or
encouragement.
22. Discontinued Use. Upon expiration of any term-based License or any termination of the Agreement,
Licensee shall: (i) immediately discontinue use of the affected Software, Hardware, and
Documentation; (ii) promptly return to PDF, at Licensee’s expense, all tangible copies of the affected
Software, Hardware, and Documentation; (iii) promptly remove, permanently delete and otherwise
destroy all electronic copies of the affected Software, Hardware, and Documentation; and, (iv), if
requested in writing by PDF, execute and deliver to PDF within five (5) business days of such request
written certification of its compliance with the foregoing.
23. Effect of Termination. Absent the other Party’s material breach, no Party has the right to terminate or
cancel an Order once committed. In the event of no current Order, either Party may terminate the main
(umbrella) Agreement. Termination of such umbrella Agreement by either Party shall not act as a
waiver of any breach of the Agreement and shall not act as a release of either Party from any liability
for breach of such Party’s obligations under the Agreement. Neither Party shall be liable to the other
Party for damages of any kind solely as a result of terminating the (umbrella) Agreement, and
termination of the Agreement by a Party shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of
such Party under the Agreement or applicable law. In any event, liabilities that have accrued prior to
termination survive.
24. Entire Agreement. The Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect
Page 10 of 14
v2023.6
to the subject matter covered therein and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous
communications, representations, agreements and/or undertakings, either verbal or written, between
the Parties in respect of the said subject matter. For the avoidance of doubt, statements in emails
are not binding PDF unless stated in an Order.
25. Severability and Limitations of Actions. In the event that any provision of the Agreement or the
application thereof to any person or in any circumstances shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful,
or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of the Agreement and its application to other persons
shall not be affected thereby, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall continue to be
valid and may be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Parties agree in such event
to substitute forthwith the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision by such effective provision as
will most closely correspond with the legal and economic contents of the provision(s) so voided.
26. Notices. All formal notices and other communications required or permitted under the Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, delivered either by
hand or by messenger, or transmitted by e-mail to the address on the signature page of the
Agreement, or at such other address as either Party shall have furnished to the other in writing
(including on an Order). All such notices and other written communications shall be effective (i) if
mailed, seven (7) days after mailing, (ii) if delivered, upon delivery, or (iii) if e-mailed, on the day
transmitted if by 5:00 pm in California (USA) on a Business Day or otherwise on the next Business
Day, provided that the notifying Party has verification of receipt.
27. Waiver. The waiver by any Party of a breach or default by the other Party of any provision of the
Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver by such Party of any succeeding breach or default by
the other Party in the same or other provision, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either
Party to exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or may have hereunder operate as a
waiver of any such right or remedy.
28. Assignment. Licensee shall not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer (whether voluntarily, by
operation of law or otherwise) the Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations under the Agreement,
without the prior written consent of PDF. A Change of Control shall be deemed an assignment by
operation of law for the purposes of this provision. Any attempted or purported assignment,
delegation, or other transfer not in conformance with this provision shall be void and have no effect.
Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement shall be binding on the Parties’ successors and assigns.
29. Force Majeure. Except with respect to the Parties’ payment obligations, neither Party shall be
responsible for any delay or failure in performance to the extent that such delay or failure is caused
by fires, earthquakes, floods, or other acts of God or severe weather conditions, by war, terrorism or
other violence or acts a public enemy, by strikes or other labor disputes, by laws, orders,
proclamations, regulations, ordinances, demands, or requirements of any governmental authority, or
by any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party.
30. Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action, including, without limitation, an action for arbitration or injunctive
relief, is brought relating to the Agreement or the breach thereof, the prevailing Party in any final
judgment or arbitration award, or the non-dismissed Party in the event of a dismissal without prejudice,
shall be entitled to the full amount of all reasonable expenses, including all court costs, arbitration
fees, and actual attorneys’ fees paid or incurred in good faith.
31. Language. Any action brought under the Agreement shall be conducted in the English language.
32. Electronic Signatures. The Agreement, Amendments thereto, and Order thereunder may be
executed electronically, which is deemed an original.

12. Licensee agrees that Licensor shall have the right to (a) audit Licensee’s use of the Third-Party
Programs and report the audit results to such Third-Party Program’s owner as applicable, or (b) to
assign such audit right to the Third-Party Program’s owner (or its licensor) (in the event of any such
assignment, neither Licensor nor Third-Party Program’s owner (or its licensor) shall be responsible
for any of Licensee’s costs incurred in cooperating with such audit). Licensee agrees to provide
reasonable assistance and access to information in the course of such audit.
13. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Third-Party Program’s owner (and its licensor, if applicable)

the Agreement (and/or excerpts thereof), additional agreements, including any addenda or
amendments thereto, and any Order or other purchase agreements between Licensor and Licensee

v2023.6
2. If Licensee does not purchase technical support from Licensor for the Third-Party Programs, then
Licensor shall have no obligation to provide such support to Licensee. Licensee may choose to
purchase support services for the Third-Party Programs directly from Oracle, subject to the following
terms and conditions:
a. In order to avoid reinstatement fees, Licensee must purchase support services from Oracle at
the time Licensor distributes the Third-Party Programs to Licensee.
b. Licensee will be required to accept the terms of the then-current, standard Oracle License and
Services Agreement in conjunction with any order for Oracle support services. Support services
provided by Oracle directly to Licensee will be in accordance with Oracle’s Technical Support
Policies in effect at the time the services are provided.
c. The fees for support purchased by Licensee from Oracle shall be based on the list price found
on Oracle’s global price list for technical support for full use licenses of the Software, less the
Oracle’s standard E-Business customer discount (no other discounts shall apply). The price will
be based upon the price list that was in place on the actual date the license was purchased
from Licensor.
d. Purchasing support directly from Oracle and paying technical support fees equal to technical
support pricing for full use licenses without an application specific restriction does not entitle
Licensee to full use rights for the Third-Party Programs being supported. Oracle’s standard
policies for license upgrades must be followed if Licensee requires a full use license.
