This First Amendment (“First Amendment”) is entered into as of this 22nd day of March, 2002, (“First Amendment Effective Date”) between Tessera, Inc.

WHERAS, Licensee is willing to provide such assistance in exchange for reduced royalties under the Agreement.

Upon satisfaction of the six (6) requirements specified below for the Selected Single-IC Package, Licensee shall pay a [*] for each single-IC TCC package, [*], as shown in the schedule below (“Reduced Royalty Schedule); upon satisfaction of the six (6) requirements specified below for the Selected Multi-IC Package, Licensee shall pay a [*] for each multi-IC TCC package, [*] in each IC, as shown in the Reduced Royalty Schedule, as follows:

The parties agree to review the commercial acceptance and viability of the Selected Single-IC and/or Multi-IC Package on a quarterly basis until Selected Packages meet all six (6) requirements above. During such quarterly reviews, if the Selected Single-IC and/or Multi-IC Package is not making adequate commercial progress, the parties may substitute a different particular single-die for single-die TCC packages or package type for multi-IC TCC packages (“Substitute Selected Package”); provided, however, both parties mutually agree to the substituted package type. If a Substitute Selected Package is a single-IC TCC package, Licensee shall satisfy the above six (6) requirements for the Substitute Selected Package to obtain the benefits of the Reduced Royalty Schedule for all single-IC TCC packages; if a Substitute

Except as modified by this First Amendment, the remaining terms and conditions of the Agreement are unchanged and apply with equal force and effect.
