• NEC Electronics products are classified into the following three quality grades: "Standard", "Special" and
  "Specific".
  The "Specific" quality grade applies only to NEC Electronics products developed based on a customer-
  designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of an NEC
  Electronics product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of
  each NEC Electronics product before using it in a particular application.
   "Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
                and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
                and industrial robots.
    "Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
                systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
                for life support).
    "Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
                support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC Electronics products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC
Electronics data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC Electronics products in applications
not intended by NEC Electronics, they must contact an NEC Electronics sales representative in advance to
determine NEC Electronics' willingness to support a given application.

(1) "NEC Electronics" as used in this statement means NEC Electronics Corporation and also includes its
    majority-owned subsidiaries.
(2) "NEC Electronics products" means any product developed or manufactured by or for NEC Electronics (as
    defined above).
