1                               The Trustees shall cause the Reorganization Company to make efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent to maintain and utilize fully its existing Third Party DIP Financing (the “Existing DIP Financing”) through its scheduled maturity date of 28 December 2012 and to extend the availability of such Existing DIP Financing through the Closing Date or at such scheduled maturity to replace such financing facility with a similar facility with a maturity reasonably expected to extend at least through the Closing Date on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor.  With respect to any such extended or replacement DIP financing facility, the Sponsor will reimburse the Reorganization Company for (i) any difference between (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued and been payable for the applicable period pursuant to the terms and conditions provided for in the DIP Term Sheet and (y) the actual interest accrued and payable for the applicable period (not commencing prior to 28 December 2012) pursuant to any such extended or replacement DIP financing facility; provided that the Sponsor shall not be required to reimburse the Reorganization Company for any such interest to the extent it accrues at a rate in excess of [*]% per annum, and (ii) the difference between any arrangement fees that would have been incurred and payable upon effectiveness of the DIP Credit Line Agreement and the actual

fees incurred and payable upon the effectiveness of any such extended or replacement DIP financing facility.  At the Sponsor’s election, or in the event necessary to secure the extended or replacement DIP financing facility, any such extended or replacement DIP financing facility will be supported by a payment guarantee from the Sponsor or one of the Sponsor’s subsidiaries, provided such payment guarantee is on reasonable terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor, which will include (i) complete subrogation to the rights of the lender in the event the payment guarantee is called upon, (ii) a reimbursement agreement by the Reorganization Company in favor of the Sponsor or its applicable subsidiary with respect to amounts paid under the payment guarantee, (iii) a limited period of time following the termination of this Agreement to demand payment upon such payment guarantee after which time the payment guarantee shall terminate (excluding any subrogation rights), and (iv) other provisions as necessary or appropriate to put the Sponsor in the same position as nearly as practicable as it would have been had it extended the loans pursuant to the DIP Credit Line Agreement as contemplated on the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Term Sheet (including, without limitation, (A) remedies if the guarantee is called upon, (B) early maturity upon termination of this Agreement or circumstances that give rise to the right of the Sponsor to terminate this Agreement, without the Closing having occurred, (C) payment of contingent interest and fees in the event of any such early maturity, (D) suspension of the availability of any new borrowings during certain challenges by creditors to the plans of reorganization, and (E) other additions or modifications to the Existing DIP Financing as summarized in the DIP Term Sheet as necessary or appropriate to put the Sponsor as nearly as practicable in the same position it would have been had it been a direct lender on the terms and conditions summarized in the DIP Term Sheet.  The governing law and language of the documentation for the extension or replacement facility (including any payment guarantee by the Sponsor or one of the Sponsor’s subsidiaries) will be Japanese, except to the extent a different law or language is required by the lender(s)).  The Sponsor shall make efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent to assist the Reorganization Company in obtaining an extension or replacement of the Existing DIP Financing for the Interim Period and, if necessary, the continuation of a portion of such financing up to 50 oku Yen for a period of up to two months following the Closing Date.

2                               Following the Execution Date, the Sponsor shall, or shall cause its designated subsidiary or subsidiaries to, provide financial support in a total amount of up to 640 oku yen for the purpose of funding capital expenditures by the Reorganization Company and to support capital expenditures by Rexchip on the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet — Capital Expenditure Facility attached hereto as Attachment 6.2 (the “CapEx Facility Term Sheet”), subject to preparation of, and agreement on, an appropriate agreement or agreements providing for one or more financial support arrangements as contemplated by such term sheet ( the “Sponsor CapEx Financing”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of and prior to requesting any such Sponsor CapEx Financing, the Trustees shall cause the Reorganization Company to make efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent to obtain third party financing arrangements, including secured or unsecured loans, capital leases, operating leases, sale-leaseback transactions, vendor financings or any combination thereof, on terms and conditions similar to those set forth in or contemplated by the CapEx Facility Term Sheet, as such terms and conditions

may be reasonably modified to reflect terms customary for financings of that type and to obtain financing under then-prevailing applicable financing market conditions, or on terms and conditions otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor (any such financing arrangements, “Third Party CapEx Financings”).  At the Sponsor’s election, the proceeds of Third Party CapEx Financings shall be used to repay outstanding Sponsor CapEx Financing.  The Sponsor shall make efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent to assist the Reorganization Company in obtaining Third Party CapEx Financings in lieu of the Sponsor CapEx Financing.

With respect to any such Third Party CapEx Financings, the Sponsor will reimburse the Reorganization Company for (i) any difference between (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued and been payable for the applicable period pursuant to the terms and conditions provided for in the CapEx Facility Term Sheet and (y) the actual interest (or its equivalent) accrued and payable for the applicable period pursuant to any such Third Party CapEx Financings, provided that the Sponsor shall not be required to reimburse the Reorganization Company for any such interest to the extent it accrues at a rate in excess of [*]% per annum, and (ii) the difference between any arrangement fees that would have been incurred and payable upon the effectiveness of the Sponsor CapEx Financings and the actual fees incurred and payable upon the effectiveness of any such Third Party CapEx Financing.  At the Sponsor’s election, or in the event such payment guarantee is necessary in order to secure such Third Party CapEx Financings, any such Third Party CapEx Financings will be supported by a payment guarantee from the Sponsor or one of the Sponsor’s subsidiaries, provided such payment guarantee is on reasonable terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor, which will include, among other things, (i) complete subrogation to the rights of the lender/lessor in the event the payment guarantee is called upon, (ii) a reimbursement agreement by the Reorganization Company and/or Rexchip in favor of the Sponsor or its subsidiaries with respect to amounts paid under the payment guarantee, (iii) the grant of a perfected first priority security interest in the Reorganization Company’s and its Related Companies’ shares of Rexchip and other unencumbered collateral owned by the Reorganization Company or its subsidiaries, to secure the reimbursement obligations under the reimbursement agreement, (iv) a limited period of time following the termination of this Agreement to demand payment upon such payment guarantee after which time the payment guarantee shall terminate (excluding any subrogation rights), and (v) other provisions as necessary or appropriate to put the Sponsor in the same position as nearly as practicable as it would have been had it provided Sponsor CapEx Financing as contemplated on the terms and conditions set forth in the CapEx Facility Term Sheet (including, without limitation, (A) remedies if the guarantee is called upon, (B) early maturity upon termination of this Agreement or circumstances that give right to the Sponsor to terminate this Agreement, without the Closing having occurred, (C) payment of contingent interest and fees in the event of any such early maturity, (D) suspension of the availability of any new borrowings (or the equivalent) during certain challenges by creditors to the plans of reorganization and (E) rights to repossess and dispose the related capital equipment and other collateral).  The governing law and language of the documentation for the foregoing arrangements (including any payment guarantee by the Sponsor or one of the Sponsor’s subsidiaries) will be Japanese, except to the extent a different law or language is required by the lender(s), lessor(s) or other source(s) of financing (other than the Sponsor or any of its subsidiaries).

3                               Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Sponsor or any of its subsidiaries be required to enter into any financing arrangement or make any loans or extend credit or take any other actions pursuant to or as contemplated by this Article 6 that would constitute a violation of any Laws or that would require the Sponsor or any of its subsidiaries to submit to any registration or other regulatory requirements with respect to the carrying out of financing activities in Japan.

4                               If there is a reasonable necessity, the Trustees may request the Sponsor to consider and submit future business plans of Both Reorganization Companies (those of reasonable details to the extent that they can be prepared at that time).

5                               Prior to the Closing, and subject in all cases to Article 26, upon the reasonable request of the Trustees, the Sponsor shall make efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent to cooperate with the Trustees in the Trustees’ preparing and presenting explanations to Both Companies’ Courts, Both Companies’ Examiners, holders of Both Companies’ Reorganization Claims, and other important interested parties with respect to this Agreement and Both Reorganization Companies’ Plan Proposals.

Article 12                                       Operations of Both Reorganization Companies from Execution of this Agreement to before Closing

1                               During the Interim Period, the Trustees shall make decisions in compliance with other provisions set forth in this Agreement on (i) the operation of business of the Reorganization Company and (ii) acts that need to be carried out in relation to Both Companies’ Reorganization Proceedings (which include examination of claims, valuation of property, preparation and submission of, and amendment to, reorganization plan proposals); provided that, in preparing the Both Companies’ Reorganization Plan Proposals, the Trustees shall make decisions on their details (including the allocation of the amount of the Financial Support to the Reorganization Company and the Akita Reorganization Company) upon prior consultation with the Sponsor, and with respect to other acts that need to be carried out in relation to Both Companies’ Reorganization Proceedings, the Trustees shall consult in advance with the Sponsor to the extent reasonably necessary (in each case respecting the Sponsor’s intention as much as possible to a reasonable extent). During the Interim Period, in making material decisions on the operation of the businesses of Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies, the Trustees shall consult and cooperate with the Sponsor in respect of such material decisions, which may include consultation and cooperation with one or more representative designees of the Sponsor (and, in each case, respecting the Sponsor’s intention as much as possible to a reasonable extent), except where or to the extent it is reasonably determined by the Trustees, after consultation with independent antitrust counsel, that such consultation would be a violation of applicable antitrust Laws.

2                               In addition, during the Interim Period, the Trustees shall cause Both Reorganization Companies to operate Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practices and substantially in accordance with the Interim Business Plan.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the phrase “substantially in accordance with the Interim Business Plan” includes:

(1)                       expenses in respect of research and development, costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative activities substantially on the timetable and in the amounts contemplated by the Interim Business Plan;

(2)                       working capital and capital expenditures of Rexchip substantially on the timetable and in the amounts required by the Interim Business Plan (as assumed for purposes of preparing such Interim Business Plan); and

but shall not include the achievement of any revenue or profitability targets so long as Both Reorganization Companies have made efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent achieve such targets.

Any action required by this Article 12.2 to be taken in order to operate Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies substantially in accordance with the Interim Business Plan, which action would require consent of the Sponsor pursuant to Article 12.3,

26

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

shall not be required to be taken to the extent the Trustees have requested such consent and it was not provided.

In addition, the Trustees agree to cause the Reorganization Company, and to cause the Reorganization Company to cause Rexchip, in furtherance of the technology roadmap underlying the Interim Business Plan, to make the corresponding capital expenditures (including quarterly spend) reflected in the Interim Business Plan for each applicable fiscal quarter (the “Optimal CapEx”) in an aggregate amount within plus or minus [*]% of the amount reflected for such quarter; provided, that in the event the product of (x) the amount of the Reorganization Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second (2nd) month of any fiscal quarter ending on or after 31 December 2012 and (y) [*]% is less than the Optimal CapEx for the next fiscal quarter, the Reorganization Company may elect to reduce capital expenditures for the next quarter to an amount not less than [*]% of the amount of such consolidated cash and cash equivalents (the “Reduced Commitment”) and, as a result, required capital expenditures for such next fiscal quarter will be the amount of such Reduced Commitment plus or minus [*]%.  Any such election may be exercised by the Reorganization Company by giving written notice to the Sponsor within ten (10) Business Days of the end of the second (2nd) month of such fiscal quarter.  In the event of any election to reduce the Optimal CapEx to the Reduced Commitment for any fiscal quarter, an amount equal to the difference between the Optimal CapEx and the Reduced Commitment for such fiscal quarter shall be added to the Reorganization Company’s capital expenditure commitment for the succeeding fiscal quarter and become part of the Optimal CapEx for such succeeding fiscal quarter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, capital expenditures reflected in the Interim Business Plan for the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2013 with respect to [*] shall not be included in Optimal CapEx for such quarters unless the Reorganization Company has elected to include such amounts in the Optimal CapEx for any such quarter by written notice provided to the Sponsor at least forty-five (45) days prior to the beginning of such quarters, in which case the full amount of capital expenditures for such quarters shall be included in Optimal CapEx for such quarters.

3                               In furtherance of and without limiting the generality of the provisions of Article 12.2, the Trustees shall cause Both Reorganization Companies, and to cause Both Reorganization Companies to cause their Related Parties, not to, without the prior written consent of the Sponsor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed):

(1)                       engage in any transaction that has, or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the business of Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies;

(2)                       engage in any transaction that has, or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the assets, liabilities or results of operations of Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies;

(3)                       engage in any transaction that requires court approval under Article 7 of the decision of commencement of reorganization proceedings as of 23 March 2012 against Both Reorganization Companies; or

27

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

(4)                       enter into any material license or sale of patents or other intellectual property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees shall not be required to obtain the consent of the Sponsor with respect to:

(x)                       entering into a customer contract providing for the sale of product that does not have a term in excess of one (1) year and does not contain a “most favored customer” or similar provision, a call or claim on a substantial portion of Both Reorganization Companies’ production capacity, a liquidated damages provision, a penalty provision triggered by a change of control, or a restriction on the conduct of business; and

(y)                       any act for which Sponsor determines that providing, withholding or conditioning such consent would be a violation of any applicable antitrust Law.

If the Trustees desire to take an action that would be prohibited without the consent of the Sponsor pursuant to this Article 12, or to refrain from taking an action where the failure to take such action requires the consent of the Sponsor pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustees may request such consent by contacting one of the designees of the Sponsor to be appointed by the Sponsor and each of whom will be identified to the Trustees in writing promptly following the Execution Date (each, a “Sponsor Designee”).  Either Sponsor Designee may grant consent on behalf of the Sponsor to the taking of any action which would otherwise be prohibited, or to the failing to take any action that would otherwise be required, pursuant to this Article 12, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

4                               The Sponsor and the Trustees acknowledge that the provisions of Articles 12.2 and 12.3 shall not in any way restrict the exercise by the Trustees of their legally required management and disposal powers or the Trustees’ ability to prepare and execute the reorganization plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustees take any action or cause any action to be taken that otherwise would be prohibited by the provisions of Article 12.2 or 12.3 without the consent of the Sponsor (such consent not to have been unreasonably withheld or delayed), or omit to take an action or omit to cause an action to be taken that would otherwise be required by the provisions of Article 12.2 other than any action or omission to act with respect to which consent was not required to be obtained as a result of the operation of Article 12.3(y), such action or omission shall give rise to a deemed failure of a condition precedent under Article 20.1(2) to the Sponsor’s obligation to close and the right of the Sponsor to cancel this Agreement under Article 25.1(1), to the extent the Sponsor reasonably determines that such action or omission has, individually or in the aggregate with other such acts or omissions, materially and adversely affected the business (including relationships with customers, suppliers, lenders, joint venture and other strategic partners), operations, properties, financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies, taken as a whole, or the value of any of the foregoing to the Sponsor.

(1)                       the Trustee shall make decisions for Both Reorganization Companies in relation to acts that need to be carried out in relation to Both Companies’ Reorganization Proceedings (including the filing of a petition for an order of completion of Both Companies’ Reorganization Proceedings and any other matters whatsoever relating to carrying out reorganization proceedings) and

(2)                       the Business Trustee shall make decisions (except for such decisions provided for in Item (1) above) in relation to the operation of business of Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies.

3                               Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, after the appointment of the Business Trustee, the Sponsor acknowledges that the Business Trustee has a duty to consult with the Trustee within a reasonable period before executing any such matter with respect to decisions in relation to the operation of business of Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies provided for in Item (2) of the preceding paragraph to the extent such decisions are reasonably expected to have a material and adverse impact on the execution of Both Companies’ Reorganization Plans.

4                               Notwithstanding Paragraph 2, after the Business Trustee has been appointed, the Trustee shall make the decisions for Both Reorganization Companies provided for in Paragraph 2(1) upon consultation with the Sponsor and the Business Trustee within a reasonable period before executing any such matter; provided that in preparing and submitting proposals for amendments to Both Companies’ Reorganization Plans, the Trustee shall do so only after prior agreement with the Sponsor on their details if such amendment would have a significant effect on Both Reorganization Companies or the Sponsor.

5                               The Sponsor acknowledges that the Business Trustee has a duty:

(1)                       to sufficiently understand this Agreement and that the Business Trustee is bound to this Agreement and cannot engage in any act that would be contrary to the spirit of this Agreement; and

(2)                       except as provided in Article 17.8 below, with respect to (i) matters that would likely have a material impact on the operations or assets of Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies, taken as a whole, and (ii) transfer to a third party of material assets of Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies, to the extent such matters or transfers would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect execution of Both Companies’ Reorganization Plans, to obtain the consent of the Trustee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before carrying out any such matter or transfer.

6                               The Sponsor shall make efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent to carry out comprehensive supervision so that the Business Trustee shall not perform its duties in violation of Law or the spirit of this Agreement (including, without limitation, act in a manner that infringes the powers of the Trustee (which includes both Reorganization Companies) under Law or this Agreement, act in a manner that exceeds or abuses the

Business Trustee’s powers under Law or this Agreement, and act without the consent from the Trustee provided for in the preceding paragraph) and shall not perform its duties in a significantly unreasonable way.

7                              The Business Trustee is not to receive any remuneration from Both Reorganization Companies for services in his or her capacity as the Business Trustee.

8                               The Sponsor and the Trustees acknowledge that the transition of each of the Both Reorganization Companies’ businesses to the cost plus model will involve the implementation of a number of reasonable acts, including those summarized on Attachment 7-2 hereto, which reasonable acts are hereby approved by the Trustees.

In addition, the Sponsor and the Trustees acknowledge that in the operation of the businesses of Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies, the Business Trustee will need to cause Both Reorganization Companies and their Related Companies to implement a wide variety of acts, including in the areas set forth on Attachment 17.8A hereto, and that it is the intent of the Sponsor and the Trustees to provide the greatest flexibility possible in the exercise of business judgment by the Business Trustee with respect to such matters consistent with the need of the Trustee and Both Reorganization Courts to exercise appropriate controls and oversight to ensure execution of Both Companies’ Reorganization Plans.  In furtherance of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Trustees agree to seek and make efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent to obtain an amendment to Section 7 of the orders of commencement of the Both Companies’ Corporate Reorganization Cases by Both Companies’ Courts entered on March 23, 2012 in the form attached hereto as Attachment 17.8B as such Attachment may be modified from time to time at the direction of Both Companies’ Courts following consultation among the Trustees, Both Companies’ Courts and the Sponsor (which consultations shall continue following the Closing Date with a view towards providing appropriate flexibility for the operation of Both Reorganization Companies’ businesses) (and with corresponding amendments to, and consultation with respect to, the order of commencement of the Akita Reorganization Company’s Reorganization Case).

The Trustees agree that the categories of actions that are the subject of Section 7 of the orders of commencement of the Both Companies’ Corporate Reorganization Cases by Both Companies’ Courts entered on March 23, 2012, as the same may be amended from time to time, which do not require Both Reorganization Courts’ approval (due to an exclusion or other exception contained in such orders) shall not require consent from the Trustee.

Following the Closing, it is expected that the businesses of Both Reorganization Companies will require ongoing substantial levels of capital expenditures and that such expenditures will require the use of a substantial portion of Both Reorganization Companies’ available cash including existing cash balances, the proceeds from borrowings available under the Sponsor CapEx Financing or Third Party CapEx Financing and cash flow from operations.  These ongoing investments are essential to preserve the viability and cost-competitiveness of the businesses and to insure the ability of the businesses to generate cash flows under the cost plus model sufficient to provide for the later scheduled Installment Payments.  At the same time, Both Reorganization Companies’ businesses must be managed to provide for Installment Payments.  In making determinations as to the appropriate levels of capital

34

expenditures for the businesses in light of these competing considerations, the Sponsor and the Trustee acknowledge that it will be necessary and appropriate to monitor such items as cash balances, capital expenditure commitments, available funding (third-party or otherwise) and projected cash flows, relative to requirements for upcoming scheduled Installment Payments, and that in circumstances creating uncertainty regarding Both Reorganization Companies’ ability to fund the upcoming Installment Payment, the Trustee or Both Companies’ Courts may request appropriate limitations on such capital expenditures.

9 The Trustees acknowledge that the Business Trustee and Both Reorganization Companies shall make efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent in achieving the goals of: (x) having minimum consolidated cash and cash equivalents (excluding Rexchip) of 700 oku Yen, and (y) [*].

2.              As described in the Sponsor Agreement, the parties have agreed that instead of Micron providing such financing, the Trustees shall cause Elpida to make efforts as much as possible to obtain third party financing arrangements, including secured or unsecured loans, capital leases, operating leases, sale-leasebacks, vendor financing or any combination thereof, on terms and conditions similar to those set forth in or contemplated by this Term Sheet (including the Cash Condition defined below in the Term Sheet), as such terms and conditions may be reasonably modified to reflect terms customary for financings of that type and to obtain financing under then-prevailing applicable financing market conditions, or on terms and conditions otherwise reasonably acceptable to Micron (any such financing arrangements, “Third Party CapEx Financings”).  Micron has agreed in the Sponsor Agreement that it shall make efforts as much as possible to a reasonable extent to assist Elpida in obtaining Third Party CapEx Financings in lieu of the Sponsor CapEx Financing.

3.              The parties have also agreed that with respect to any such Third Party CapEx Financings, Micron will reimburse Elpida for (i) any difference between (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued and been payable for the applicable period pursuant to the terms and conditions provided for in this Term Sheet and (y) the actual interest (or its equivalent) accrued and payable for the applicable period pursuant to any such Third Party CapEx Financings, provided that Micron shall not be required to reimburse Elpida for any such interest to the extent it accrues at a rate in excess of [*]% per annum, and (ii) the difference between any arrangement fees that would have been incurred and

4.              At Micron’s election or in the event such payment guarantee is necessary in order to secure such Third Party CapEx Financings, any such Third Party CapEx Financings will be supported by a payment guarantee from Micron or one of its subsidiaries, provided such payment guarantee is on reasonable terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor, which will include (i) complete subrogation to the rights of the lender/lessor in the event the payment guarantee is called upon, (ii) a reimbursement agreement by Elpida and/or Rexchip in favor of Micron or its subsidiaries with respect to amounts paid under the payment guarantee, (iii) the grant of a perfected first priority security interest in Rexchip’s shares and other unencumbered collateral owned by Elpida or its subsidiaries, to secure the reimbursement obligations under the reimbursement agreement, (iv) a limited period of time following the termination of the Sponsor Agreement to demand payment upon such payment guarantee, after which time the payment guarantee shall terminate (excluding any subrogation rights), and (v) other provisions as necessary or appropriate to put Micron as nearly as practicable in the same position as it would have been had it provided Sponsor CapEx Financing as contemplated on the terms and conditions set forth in this Term Sheet (including, without limitation, (A) remedies if guarantee is called upon, (B) early maturity upon termination of the Sponsor Agreement, or circumstances that give rise to the right of Micron to terminate the Sponsor Agreement, without the Closing having occurred, (C) payment of contingent interest and fees in the event of any such early maturity, (D) suspension of the availability of any new borrowings (or the equivalent) during certain challenges by creditors to the plans of reorganization, and (E) rights to repossess and dispose the related capital equipment and other collateral).  The governing law and language of the documentation for any Third Party CapEx Financing (including any Micron payment guarantee) will be Japanese, except to the extent a different law or language is required by the lender(s), lessor(s) or other source(s) of financing (other than Micron or any of its subsidiaries).

Illustrative Example of Determining Cost Plus for the Reorganization Company

A three step process is used to aggregate the legal entity spending and to charge out the cost to the appropriate Sponsor legal entities:

·                  Step 1:  Aggregate costs by category for (i) manufacturing costs and other cost of sales, (ii) general and administrative expenses and (iii) non-operating expenses or income and extraordinary loss or gain, and (iv) aggregate research and development costs.

·                  Step 2:  Set margin applicable to each category of costs per the intercompany transfer price cost structure.  Exact margin can only be fixed after final determination of cost basis of the property, plant and equipment as well as the remaining useful life of the assets.  Once the cost basis is determined, the margin will be fixed at a level taking into consideration required cash flows to support anticipated capital expenditures and Installment Payments.

·                  Step 3:  Charge Sponsor (Singapore subsidiary) for the costs of goods manufactured for sale ((i), (ii) and (iii) as provided above) by taking the total and dividing it by the number of wafers shipped.  Research and development costs are aggregated and charged directly to Sponsor on a monthly basis.

The three step process is illustrated below, assuming a total base cost of 100 for purposes of illustration only:

Available Cash

Overview:

The following process will be used for purposes of determining the amount of Net Available Cash as of the Available Cash Determination Date.  The “Available Cash Determination Date” shall be determined based on an estimated Closing Date as agreed by the Trustee and Sponsor, and shall be the Reorganization Company fiscal month end falling at least 30 Business Days prior to such estimated Closing Date.

Capitalized terms used in this Attachment and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given them in the Sponsor Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires.

Process:

Within ten (10) Business Days after the Available Cash Determination Date, the Trustees shall deliver to the Sponsor (with a copy to the Independent Expert) a certificate setting forth the Trustees’ calculation of Net Available Cash as of the Available Cash Determination Date (“Preliminary Net Available Cash”), Both Reorganization Companies’ (excluding Rexchip) actual consolidated sales revenues and consolidated cost of goods sold, for the immediately preceding quarter, together with the Target A/R Days, Target Inventory Days and Target A/P Days used to determine Preliminary Net Available Cash (such certificate, the “Closing Net Available Cash Certificate”).

No later than five (5) Business Days following the Available Cash Determination Date, the Sponsor may, at its election, deliver a notice to the Trustees if the Sponsor’s calculation of Net Available Cash differs from Preliminary Net Available Cash, and setting forth the Sponsor’s calculations of Net Available Cash as of the Available Cash Determination Date and of Both Reorganization Companies’ aggregate sales revenues and aggregate cost of goods sold, for the immediately preceding quarter (such notice, an “Objection Notice”).

Upon receipt of an Objection Notice, the Trustees shall negotiate in good faith with the Sponsor for a period of five (5) Business Days to seek agreement on the amount of Net Available Cash.  If the Trustees and the Sponsor are unable to agree on the amount of Net Available Cash during such five (5) Business Day period, then either the Trustees or the Sponsor may refer the dispute to the Independent Expert (as defined below) (such referral, a “Dispute Resolution Request”).

No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Available Cash Determination Date, the Sponsor and the Trustees will engage an internationally recognized accounting firm to serve as an independent expert (the “Independent Expert”) to resolve any disputes with respect to the determination of Net Available Cash.  The Independent Expert will be required to deliver its
