as otherwise agreed to in writing by Intel and Micron, to the extent that IMFT has received or has any rights to receive any insurance proceeds or any recovery from any third party in respect of such damage, IMFT shall retain such proceeds and rights for application to such cost and expense of repair.

IMFT will use reasonable efforts to repair such damage as promptly as practicable, and IMFT will provide Intel and Micron with full access to the **** to observe and monitor any such repairs.
4.10    Physical Counts.
(A)    Equipment Physical Inspection.
(1)    Prior to the Closing as requested by Intel, Micron and Intel shall cause IMFT to conduct an inspection at the Fab in Manassas, Virginia (the “MTV Fab”), to confirm the physical existence of and the proper accounting for a sample of parent tools chosen by Intel from the fixed asset ledger of IMFT or at the premises of the MTV Fab. Such sample will be limited to 20 parent tools, each with a current book value as of the end of the preceding fiscal month in excess of $100,000, with Intel determining which assets are to be confirmed on a “book-to-floor” basis and

17


on a “floor-to-book” basis. If the inspection reveals zero discrepancies in this initial sample of 20 parent tools, no additional physical verification of equipment will be required. If such inspection reveals fewer than three discrepancies, none of which exceeds $5,000,000 (in net book value), Micron and Intel shall cause IMFT to conduct an inspection at the MTV Fab for an additional sample of parent tools, each with a current book value as of the end of the preceding fiscal month in excess of $100,000, chosen by Intel from the fixed asset ledger of IMFT or at the premises of the MTV Fab. Such additional sample will be limited to 43 parent tools that were not included in the initial sample, with Intel determining which assets are to be confirmed on a “book-to-floor” basis and on a “floor-to-book” basis. If there are three or more discrepancies (whether in the initial sample or when aggregated with the results of the additional sample) or if any discrepancy exceeds $5,000,000 (in net book value), then, at Intel’s request, IMFT shall, and Intel and Micron shall cause IMFT to, conduct an inspection of all parent tools, each with a current book value as of the end of the preceding fiscal month in excess of $100,000, at the MTV Fab before the Closing.

Such sample will be limited to 40 parent tools, each with a current book value as of the end of the preceding fiscal month in excess of $100,000, with Intel determining which assets are to be confirmed on a “book-to-floor” basis and on a “floor-to-book” basis. If the inspection reveals zero discrepancies in this initial sample of 40 parent tools, no additional physical verification of equipment will be required. If such inspection reveals fewer than three discrepancies, none of which exceeds $5,000,000 (in net book value), Intel may conduct an inspection at the Lehi Fab for an additional sample of parent tools, each with a current book value as of the end of the preceding fiscal month in excess of $100,000, chosen by Intel from the fixed asset ledger of IMFT or at the premises of the Lehi Fab. Such additional sample will be limited to 86 parent tools that were not included in the initial sample, with Intel determining which assets are to be confirmed on a “book-to-floor” basis and on a “floor-to-book” basis. If there are three or more discrepancies (whether in the initial sample or when aggregated with the results of the additional sample) or if any discrepancy exceeds $5,000,000 of net book value of equipment, then, Intel may, and IMFT and Micron shall permit Intel to, conduct an inspection of all parent tools, each with a current book value as of the end of the preceding fiscal month in excess of $100,000, at the Lehi Fab before the Closing. Intel will make all reasonable efforts to conduct counts in such a manner as to minimize operational impacts at IMFT, and IMFT shall make all reasonable efforts to permit Intel’s representatives to complete all inspections prior to the Closing.

Except as otherwise agreed to by Intel and Micron, Micron shall make the appropriate adjustments to its books and records to reflect the results of Intel’s inspection. Such adjustment may include additional charges or refunds to Intel for billings of Back-End Products.

6.3    Procedures.
(A)    General. Promptly after the receipt by any Party that is entitled to seek indemnification under Section 6.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) of a notice of any Third Party Claim that may be subject to indemnification under Section 6.2, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Third Party Claim to the Party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”), stating in reasonable detail the nature and basis of each claim made in the Third Party Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents received by the Indemnified Party evidencing the Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within 30 days after receipt of the particular notice from the Indemnified Party.
(B)    So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith and notified the Indemnified Party in writing thereof, (1) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party after such time as the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim and prior to such time as the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party that it has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, (2) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or, other than in connection with a settlement of the Third Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (3) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim (other than a judgment or settlement that is solely for money

26


damages and is accompanied by a release of all indemnifiable claims against the Indemnified Party) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of the Indemnified Party for a Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party hereunder for any consent to the entry of judgment or settlement entered into with respect to such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(C)    In the case of any Third Party Claim where the Indemnifying Party reasonably believes that it would be appropriate to settle such Third Party Claim using equitable remedies (i.e., remedies involving the future activity and conduct of IMFT or IMFS), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall work together in good faith to agree to a settlement; provided, however, that no Party shall be under any obligation to agree to any such settlement.
(D)    Any Direct Claim by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnifying Party will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the facts giving rise to such Direct Claim. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of 10 Business Days within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 10 Business Day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

6.4    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage will result if this Agreement and the Asset Transaction Agreements are not performed in accordance with their respective terms, and the Parties agree that any damages available under the indemnification provisions or at law for a breach of this Agreement or any Asset Transaction Agreements would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, the provisions hereof and thereof and the obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be enforceable in a court of equity, or other tribunal with jurisdiction, by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.
6.5    Treatment of Indemnification Payments; Insurance Recoveries. Any indemnity payment under this Article 6 (including any payment required to be made under Section 6.2(E)) shall be decreased by any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under third party insurance policies with respect to such Loss (net of any premiums paid by such Indemnified Party under the relevant insurance policy), each Party agreeing (A) to use all reasonable efforts to recover all available insurance proceeds and (B) to the extent that any indemnity payment under this Article 6 (including any payment required to be made under Section 6.2(E)) has been paid by the Indemnifying

27


Party to the Indemnified Party prior to the recovery by the Indemnified Party of such insurance proceeds, such amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party shall be promptly paid to the Indemnifying Party or, in the case of any payment made under Section 6.2(E), **** of such amounts actually recovered shall be promptly paid to Intel Singapore.
6.6    Certain Additional Procedures. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any Third Party Claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense by the Indemnifying Party of each Third Party Claim (and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree with respect to all such Third Party Claims that a common interest privilege agreement exists between them), including by (A) permitting the Indemnifying Party to discuss the Third Party Claim with such officers, employees, consultants and representatives of the Indemnified Party as the Indemnifying Party reasonably requests, (B) providing to the Indemnifying Party copies of documents and samples of products as the Indemnifying Party reasonably requests in connection with defending such Third Party Claim, (C) preserving all properties, books, records, papers, documents, plans, drawings, electronic mail and databases relating to matters pertinent to the Third Party Claim and under the Indemnified Party’s custody or control in accordance with such Party’s corporate documents retention policies, or longer to the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party, (D) notifying the Indemnifying Party promptly of receipt by the Indemnified Party of any subpoena or other third party request for documents or interviews and testimony, and (E) providing to the Indemnifying Party copies of any documents produced by the Indemnified Party in response to or compliance with any subpoena or other third party request for documents. In connection with any Third Party Claims, except to the extent inconsistent with the Indemnified Party’s obligations under Applicable Law and except to the extent that to do so would subject the Indemnified Party or its employees, agents or representatives to criminal or civil sanctions, and unless ordered by a court to do otherwise, the Indemnified Party shall not produce documents to a third party until the Indemnifying Party has been provided a reasonable opportunity to review, copy and assert privileges covering such documents.
6.7    Remedies. Prior to the Closing Date, specific performance shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement, except for breaches of Section 4.4. From and after the Closing Date, specific performance and the indemnification remedies set forth in Section 6.2 shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedies under this Agreement and the Asset Transaction Agreements, except for breaches of Section 4.4. Such remedies and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement and the Asset Transaction Agreements shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive. The remedies provided for in the respective Joint Venture Documents will govern the applicable Parties’ remedies for breaches thereof.
ARTICLE 7.

7.1    Termination.
(A)    Before the Closing, this Agreement may be terminated:
(1)    by the mutual written consent of the Parties at any time;

28


(2)    in the event of a Micron Breach, by Intel upon written notice to the other Parties; provided, however, that if after such Micron Breach, Intel elects pursuant to Section 7.2(A) for the Parties to negotiate alternative arrangements to implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then during the Negotiation Period Intel may not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(A)(2) with respect to such Micron Breach; provided further, that nothing herein shall prohibit Intel from electing during the Negotiation Period to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(A)(2) with respect to any additional Micron Breach;
(3)    in the event of a Intel Breach, by Micron upon written notice to the other Parties; provided, however, that if after such Intel Breach, Micron elects pursuant to Section 7.2(A) for the Parties to negotiate alternative arrangements to implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then during the Negotiation Period Micron may not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(A)(3) with respect to such Intel Breach; provided further, that nothing herein shall prohibit Micron from electing during the Negotiation Period to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(A)(3) with respect to any additional Intel Breach;

(5)    by any Party after ****.
(B)    If this Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.4 and Articles 6 and 8, which will continue in full force and effect) will terminate without further liability or obligation of any Party to any other Party hereunder; provided, however, that no Party will be released from liability hereunder if this Agreement is terminated and the transactions abandoned by reason of (1) failure of such Party to have performed its material obligations under this Agreement, or (2) any material misrepresentation made by such Party of any matter set forth in this Agreement.
7.2    Alternative Transaction.
(A)    If there has been a Micron Breach, Intel may, and, if there has been an Intel Breach, Micron may, elect for the Parties to negotiate alternative arrangements to implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other Parties within 30 days after the expiration of the cure period set forth in the definition of “Micron Breach” or “Intel Breach,” as applicable, but in any event not later than ****.
(B)    Upon such election by Intel or Micron pursuant to Section 7.2(A) or upon the occurrence of a Negotiation Trigger (the date of any such election or occurrence, a “Negotiation Commencement Date”), the Parties shall promptly meet to negotiate in good faith alternative arrangements that are fair and reasonable to implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Asset Transaction Agreements, which alternative arrangements shall implement the technology development and supply principles embodied by the Joint Venture Documents and include contractual and other arrangements that shall, as closely as practicable, provide the same

29


or better beneficial results to the Parties, viewed on an aggregate basis, as would have been achieved if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Asset Transaction Agreements had been consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof.
(C)    The Parties shall attempt in good faith to reach an agreement with respect to the alternative arrangements within **** of the Negotiation Commencement Date (or such other date as may be mutually agreed between Intel and Micron, the “Negotiation Period”). During the Negotiation Period, the Designated Technology Joint Development Program Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. After the Negotiation Period, unless the Parties otherwise agree, this Agreement is subject to termination pursuant to Section 7.1(A).
(D)    Nothing herein is intended to release any Party from any liability resulting from any failure of such Party to have performed its material obligations under this Agreement or any material misrepresentation made by such Party in this Agreement, regardless of whether the Parties have thereafter reached an agreement under Section 7.2(C) above during the Negotiation Period.
ARTICLE 8.
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1    Limitation of Liability. SUBJECT TO SECTION 8.2, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTIES OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES OR ANY PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ASSET TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
8.2    Exclusions and Mitigation. Sections 8.1 and 6.2 will not apply to any Party’s breach of Section 4.4. Each Party shall have a duty to use reasonable efforts to mitigate damages for which another Party is responsible. Neither the Intel Parties nor the Micron Parties shall be entitled to recover Losses for the diminution in value of its interest in IMFT or IMFS resulting from any event, circumstance or occurrence for which IMFT or IMFS is pursuing and is entitled to indemnification hereunder for the full amount of its Losses arising from such event, circumstance or occurrence.

8.4    Waiver.

If they are unable to resolve the Dispute within 30 days of receiving notice of the Dispute (during which 30-day period, the chief executive officers (or other senior executive officers) shall seek in good faith to hold at least three meetings at which they shall make a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute), then a civil action with respect to the Dispute may be commenced, but only after the matter has been submitted to JAMS for mediation as contemplated by Section 8.9(B).

8.11    Entire Agreement. From and after the Closing, this Agreement, together with the Appendices and Schedules hereto and the agreements and instruments expressly provided for herein, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written (including all side letters and all agreements of the Parties that may have been expressed as resolutions or approvals of Managers appointed by the Members of IMFT or IMFS), between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, including all matters relating to IMFT and IMFS; provided, however, that unless and until the Closing occurs hereunder, nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the rights and obligations of the Parties under the Master Agreement, the IMFT Agreement, the IMFS Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement and any other agreements entered into pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, except to the extent specifically provided for in this Agreement.
8.12    Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be deemed in contradiction with the laws of any jurisdiction in which it is to be performed or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be deemed null and void, but this Agreement shall remain in full force in all other respects. Should any provision of this Agreement be or become ineffective because of changes in Applicable Laws or interpretations thereof, or should this Agreement fail to include a provision

34


that is required as a matter of law, the validity of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. If such circumstances arise, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith appropriate modifications to this Agreement to reflect those changes that are required by Applicable Law.
8.13    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
8.14    Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are ultimately consummated, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Asset Transaction Agreements and the Joint Venture Documents except as otherwise provided herein.
