     6. Term of Agreement. Dot Hill and NetApp hereby agree to delete in its entirety Section 4, TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, of the base terms and conditions of the Agreement and to replace it with the following:

     “4. TERM OF AGREEMENT

     The initial term of this Agreement shall begin on July 26, 2005 (the “Effective Date”) and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 20.3 or 20.4 of this Agreement, end on March 31, 2011.

     7. Modified Definitions

Dot Hill and NetApp Confidential
*** Confidential Treatment Requested

          “For the purpose of the construction and interpretation of this Agreement, NetApp hereby expressly approves of the following entities as Dot Hill Designated Contract Manufacturers: (i) Solectron Corporation and/or its affiliates (and/or [...***...]and/or its affiliates, as a potential successor-in-interest to Solectron Corporation and its affiliates), [...***...].”

          “As of the date of execution of the Second Amendment to the Agreement, NetApp hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has provided Final Product Acceptance to Dot Hill for all Products that are listed on Exhibit B, Rev. 7, as of such date. NetApp acknowledges and agrees that it will not make any claims or seek any remedies against Dot Hill with respect to Dot Hill’s failure occurring prior to the date of execution of the Second Amendment to the Agreement to meet any dates or milestones that occur prior to the date of execution of this Second Amendment to the Agreement based on the performance of Dot Hill’s responsibilities under Exhibit C, Exhibit C-1 and Exhibit C-2 for any Product listed in Exhibit B, Rev 7 (each, a “Failure”). NetApp hereby releases Dot Hill from any claim based on any such Failure in Exhibit C, Exhibit C-1 and Exhibit C-2. NetApp also waives, with respect to such claims that could be raised to the extent based on any such Failure, any rights and benefits conferred upon it by virtue of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. NetApp further agrees not to make any claim that any Trigger Event occurred based on any such Failure, whether the existence of such Trigger Event is now known or unknown.”

     9. [...***...]. Dot Hill and NetApp hereby agree to delete in its entirety Section 10.2 of the base terms and conditions of the Agreement relating to meet and confer obligations for [...***...].

     10. Cost Reductions. Dot Hill and NetApp hereby agree to delete in its entirety Section 12.4 of the base terms and conditions of the Agreement and to replace it with the following:

     (a) Dot Hill shall [...***...]

Dot Hill and NetApp Confidential
*** Confidential Treatment Requested

[...***...] pricing negotiated by NetApp under a NetApp purchasing arrangement [...***...] that implement such cost reductions [...***...]. NetApp hereby authorizes and permits Dot Hill and Dot Hill DCMs to purchase [...***...] at NetApp’s contracted price and purchasing arrangement for NetApp and/or non-NetApp products. In exchange for such authorization and permission to purchase [...***...] for non-NetApp products, Dot Hill [...***...] for use in Products to be supplied to NetApp under this Agreement if Dot Hill chooses to exercise such authorization and permission.

     (b) All cost reductions to the Product units sold by Dot Hill to NetApp under the Agreement which occur as the sole result of NetApp’s efforts to reduce actual Solectron-incurred overhead costs, shall [...***...] for Product units sold by Dot Hill to NetApp under this Agreement [...***...]; provided, however, that such costs reductions arise solely as a result of NetApp’s meetings with Solectron Corporation occurring no more than [...***...] after the first date of engagement, between NetApp and Solectron, but ending in no event any later than [...***...] to accomplish the potential cost reductions previously described. NetApp will advise Dot Hill immediately of the outcome of these meetings with [...***...] and provide documented evidence of all cost reductions obtained or to be obtained by no later than [...***...] and if NetApp fails to do so then, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Dot Hill shall [...***...] pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.4(b).

     (c) Excluding any cost savings obtained through the benefit of the cost reductions set forth in Section 12.4(a) and/or 12.4(b) of this Agreement which will be governed solely by such sections, Dot Hill shall [...***...] (the “Margin Threshold”). The benefit of any royalties required to be paid by NetApp to Dot Hill for use of Dot Hill Technology and/or Dot Hill IPR shall not be considered when calculating the Margin Threshold.

     (d) Once the Margin Threshold is reached, Dot Hill will [...***...]. In calculating such [...***...], any cost savings obtained for any Product units which are based upon the application of Sections 12.4(a) and/or 12.4(b) of this Agreement shall not apply to this calculation. For the purpose of the interpretation and construction of this Section 12.4(d) the term “identified” as used herein means a party has performed a substantial part of work necessary to drive the implementation of a cost reduction. The mere issuance of an approval by a party to a proposed cost reduction, or the provision by a party of minor

Dot Hill and NetApp Confidential
*** Confidential Treatment Requested

suggestions for potential achievement of a proposed cost reduction, shall not result in a cost reduction being “identified” by that party.

          (e) NetApp shall purchase then-existing units of Product (or components) that do not contain incremental / additive cost reductions prior to its purchase of units containing incremental / additive cost reductions. 

     (f) Neither NetApp nor any of its Affiliates shall enter into any agreement or other arrangement with a Dot Hill DCM in order to circumvent the ability of Dot Hill to obtain the benefits of any cost reductions available under this Section 12.4 including, without limitation, any agreement or other arrangement with a Dot Hill DCM to pay or otherwise provide directly to NetApp or any of its Affiliates any rebates or financial remuneration for units of Products sold by Dot Hill. This Subsection 12.4(f) shall not, however, preclude a Dot Hill DCM from providing directly to NetApp the benefit of those cost reductions, including any [...***...], that Dot Hill is contractually obligated to provide a [...***...] to NetApp under this Agreement provided, however, that: (i) NetApp disclose promptly in writing to Dot Hill whether there may be a benefit of cost reductions flowing to NetApp as a result thereof, (ii) to the best of NetApp’s knowledge, any agreement or other arrangement entered into by NetApp with a Dot Hill DCM to provide directly to NetApp the benefits of such cost reductions will not result in any increase in the costs to Dot Hill of any products or services procured or to be procured from such Dot Hill DCM, and (iii) Dot Hill shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by NetApp or the Dot Hill DCM to establish or maintain any agreement or other arrangement with NetApp under which NetApp may receive the benefits of such cost reductions.”

     11. Termination Rights

          a. Dot Hill and NetApp hereby agree to delete Section 20.3 of the base terms and conditions of the Agreement and to replace it with the following:

               “20.3    A party will have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event the other party materially breaches any material provision of this Agreement and fails to correct such breach within [...***...] after receiving written notice thereof. Any such notice shall specify with particularity such breach and the fact that the Agreement may be terminated if such breach remains uncured. If this notice has been sent and such breach in such notice remains uncured, then this Agreement can be terminated by the party that provided such notice through its submission of a separate written letter of termination to the other party, which termination will become effective on the date specified in such separate written letter of termination.”

          b. Dot Hill and NetApp hereby agree to delete Section 20.4 of the base terms and conditions of the Agreement and to replace it with the following:

               “20.4    A party shall have the right to terminate without cause this Agreement at any time after [...***...] provided, however, that it has given the other party at least [...***...] prior written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement. Neither party shall be responsible to the other for costs or

Dot Hill and NetApp Confidential
*** Confidential Treatment Requested

damages to the extent resulting solely from the termination of this Agreement in accordance with and under this Section 20.4.”

     12. Survival. Dot Hill and NetApp hereby agree to add the following sentence to the end of Section 30, Survival, of the base terms and conditions of the Agreement:

          “Additionally, each party’s other rights and obligations contained in the base terms and conditions of this Agreement, together with any Exhibits to this Agreement, which by their nature would continue beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement shall survive such expiration or earlier termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all license rights granted by Dot Hill in this Agreement to any Dot Hill Technology shall not survive any termination of this Agreement in the scenario where such termination arises or results from NetApp’s material breach of any material provision of this Agreement.”

     13. Miscellaneous. The modifications made above to the Agreement, including the addition of certain new exhibits and the making of edits to certain exhibits to the Agreement, which have been included in this Second Amendment shall have prospective force and effect on and after the Second Amendment Date, and shall not retroactively affect any rights or obligations of the parties under the Agreement. This Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts by the authorized representatives of the parties, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall form and constitute a single instrument. Each party acknowledges and agrees that such executed counterparts of this Second Amendment may be delivered by a party to the other party electronically through the use of pdf files or by facsimile transmission. Except as specifically modified or supplemented by or through this Second Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the provisions in any existing exhibits to the Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect between the parties and be unaffected thereby.
