Page 5 of 28


Daily Required Non-Hold WIP =				Quarterly Activity Allocation
Daily Required Non-Hold WIP =				(13 wk/qtr x 7 day/wk x 1.5 M/I)

(d) The minimum Process Batch size is twelve (12) wafers for wafers in the Pre-Pilot, Pilot Production and Production Phases. Any process batch that is smaller than 12 wafers will be charged as if 12 wafers are in the Process Batch, thus the minimum activity charge is 12 for any step. The Maximum Process Batch size is 25 wafers.

Section 2.3 Carryforward. Customer acknowledges that if for any reason whatever (including without limitation a fall in yield rates or other cause outside of Customer’s independent control) it does not use during any Cypress fiscal quarter the Activities allotted to it by Cypress as aforesaid, Customer shall not have the right to carry forward any unused Activity allocation into any subsequent Cypress fiscal quarter.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 10.1 Confidential Information. The Parties have signed a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to cover any disclosure of Confidential Information prior to the signing of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, the Parties agree that, for the term of this Agreement and for seven (7) years thereafter, the receiving Party shall keep in confidence and not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose any information furnished to it by the other Party hereto pursuant to this Agreement or prior thereto, whether directly or

Page 17 of 28

indirectly, and whether in writing, orally or by the inspection of tangible objects or data (including without limitation documents, prototypes, samples, plant and equipment) of a confidential or proprietary nature (“Confidential Information”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Confidential Information shall include enterprise software, each Party’s technology, products and manufacturing processes, and financial information concerning Cypress’s and Customer’s customers, suppliers and their respective products and proposed products. Each Party shall take all steps necessary (including, without limitation, establishing password protection schemes with respect to equipment and computers) to ensure that all Confidential Information is only accessible by (and disclosed to) those employees who have a need to know such information in order to carry out the express purposes of this Agreement and who are bound in writing to confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that, in each case as demonstrated by written documentation:

(a) was already known to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure;

(b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party;

(c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement;

(d) was subsequently lawfully disclosed to the receiving Party without restriction by a person other than a Party or developed by employees of the receiving Party who did not have access to any information or materials disclosed by the disclosing Party; or

(e) was independently developed by the receiving Party without the use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

A material breach of a Party’s obligations under this Section 10.1 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

Section 10.2 Independent Development. The disclosing Party acknowledges that the receiving Party may currently or in the future be developing information internally, or receiving information from other parties, that is similar to the Confidential Information. Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the receiving party from developing or having developed for it products, concepts, systems or techniques that are similar to or compete with the products, concepts, systems or techniques contemplated by or embodied in the Confidential Information provided that the receiving Party does not violate any of its obligations under this Agreement in connection with such development. Neither Party shall have any obligation to limit or restrict the assignment of its employees or consultants as a result of their having had access to Confidential Information.

Section 10.3 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1 above, each Party hereto may disclose the other Party’s information to the extent such disclosure

Page 18 of 28

is reasonably necessary for exercising the rights expressly granted to it under this Agreement (including the right to grant sublicenses, if applicable), filing or prosecuting patent applications, prosecuting or defending litigation, complying with applicable governmental regulations, submitting information to tax or other governmental authorities, provided that if a Party is required to make any such disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information, to the extent it may legally do so, it will give reasonable advance notice to the latter Party of such disclosure and, save to the extent inappropriate in the case of patent applications or otherwise, will secure confidential treatment of such information prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise). If the Party whose Confidential Information is to be disclosed has not filed a patent application with respect to such Confidential Information, it may require the other Party to delay the proposed disclosure (to the extent the disclosing Party may legally do so), for up to ninety (90) days, to allow for the filing of such an application.

Section 10.4 Terms of Agreement; Publicity. Each of the Parties hereto agrees not to disclose to any third party the financial terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except to advisors, independent accountants, investors and others on a need-to-know basis under circumstances that reasonably ensure the confidentiality thereof, or to the extent required by law.

ARTICLE XI

NONSOLICITATION

Section 11.1 Nonsolicitation. During the period beginning on the Effective Date, neither Party shall, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the other Party (i) solicit, encourage, or take any other action which is intended to induce or encourage, any employee of the other Party or of any of its Affiliates to terminate his or her employment with the other Party or its Affiliate, as the case may be, or (ii) except as otherwise set forth herein, interfere in any manner with the contractual or employment relationship between the other Party and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and their respective employees, on the other hand.

ARTICLE XII

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 12.1 Initial Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall end on the 5th anniversary of the Resident Date.

Section 12.2 Renewal. The term will be extended automatically by one year starting upon the 5^th anniversary of the Resident Date, unless either Party shall have given the other Party ninety (90) days prior written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement.

Section 12.3 Post-Development Manufacturing. On or before the later of the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Resident Date and six (6) months prior to manufacturing

Page 19 of 28

production, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith terms for a post-development manufacturing agreement.

Section 12.4 Early Termination.

(a) Customer may terminate this Agreement after the Resident Date upon giving Cypress ninety (90) days written notice, such notice being effective to prevent a scheduled increase in Activity allotment from occurring. Customer shall make an immediate non-refundable payment for ninety (90) days of Moves at the current Activity allotment, which Activities and Moves shall occur during the notice period.

(b) In the event that the Line is not in normal operation, or the average Activities allotted to Customer on the Line for any forty-five (45) day period is less than fifty percent (50%) of Move Allotment, for a reason not attributable to any negligence or intentional misconduct of Customer, or if the Line is permanently damaged and Cypress indicates that it does not intend to rebuild the Line, such action will be considered to be an early termination by Cypress as of the day the Line ceases to be in normal operation. Cypress shall not incur any costs in the event of termination by Customer pursuant to this Section 12.4(b).

(c) In the event that Cypress’s interest in the Pilot Line is sold, transferred or proposed to be sold or transferred to a third party (“Transfer”), in whole or in part, Customer shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement upon giving Cypress written notice. The forgoing sentence shall not apply in the event of a Transfer of Cypress’s interest to a Cypress Affiliate. Cypress shall immediately return to Customer or destroy (at Customer’s option) all of Customer’s Confidential Information in its possession. No part of Customer’s Confidential Information may be disclosed to the third party without the prior written consent of Customer.

(d) In the event that operation of the Line, in whole or in part, is proposed by Cypress or a transferee to be shut down for a period longer than thirty (30) days, Customer shall have advance notice of such a plan not less than 120 days in advance, and Customer shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement upon giving Cypress written notice.

(e) Termination pursuant to Section 12.4(b), Section 12.4(c) or Section 12.4(d) shall not trigger any obligation or liability on Customer to make any payment to Cypress, including, but not limited to the payment referenced in Section 12.4(a).

Section 12.5 Termination for Breach.

(a) Either Party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement in the event the other Party shall have materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder, and such default shall have continued for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof was provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party. Failure to make a timely payment required under this Agreement shall be a material breach or default hereunder. Any termination shall become effective at the

Page 20 of 28

end of such thirty (30) day period unless the breaching Party (or any other party on its behalf) has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period. In the event either Party terminates this Agreement because of the material breach of the other Party, the non-breaching Party’s termination of this Agreement shall not trigger any obligation to make the payment referenced in Section 12.4 above.

(b) The Parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the harm to the other Party suffered as a result of any infringement or misappropriation of the other Party’s unlicensed intellectual property may be far-reaching and substantial. Accordingly, upon written notification to a Party of any infringement or misappropriation of the other Party’s intellectual property that has not been cured as set forth in part (a) of this section, the notifying Party may make application to the Mediator to mediate the dispute; if Cypress is the notifying Party, it may also make application to the Mediator to remove Customer Personnel from Cypress’s premises under Section 12.6 hereof.

Section 12.6 Customer Personnel. No later than the date of termination hereof, or as ordered by the Mediator, Customer shall cause all Customer Personnel to have removed all of their personal property from Cypress premises. After that date, no such persons shall have any right to access Cypress premises, except such reasonable access as Cypress and Customer shall agree in advance in writing in furtherance of the purposes hereof.

Section 12.7 Survival; Effect of Termination. Section 5.2 and ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE VIII, ARTICLE IX, ARTICLE X, and ARTICLE XIII shall survive the expiration and any termination of this Agreement for any reason, except that if Cypress terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.5(a) as a result of Customer’s theft of Cypress’s intellectual property under this Agreement, the license granted in Section 7.2 shall not survive.

ARTICLE XIII

Section 13.6 No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative. No failure on the part of either Party hereto to exercise and no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, nor shall any partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Title: SVTC Production Activities Methodology and Accounting

Spec 001-05660

ARTICLE I Purpose/Scope

Purpose: The purpose of this specification is to define and understand activities and how they are accounted for.

Scope: This specification covers manufacturing operations for SVTC.

ARTICLE II Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the Fab Director that all activity counting be fair and accurate as well as represent the work and time contributed by SVTC technical production resources.

It is the responsibility’ of the Fab Manager to train SVTC Fab personnel on correct barcoding procedures as well as to verify that all activity counting is correct and within the guidelines of this specification.

ARTICLE III Referenced Documents

00-00064—SVTC Record Retention Policy

ARTICLE IV Materials: N/A

ARTICLE V Equipment: N/A

ARTICLE VI Safety: N/A

ARTICLE VI Critical Requirements Summary: N/A

ARTICLE VII Operating Procedures and Responsibilities

This Section defines the terms Activity, Engineering Activity, Process Step, Batch, Split, Lot and RSC.

An Activity is the movement of a one wafer through a Process Step.

A Batch is either a single wafer or a group of wafers utilizing fab equipment to move through a specified process.

A Process Step is either a single step or a group of sub steps that promote or support a single major step. A Process Step is further defined as a step that is part of a manufacturing process or the learning of said processes.

Page 6 of 14


SVTC Technologies, LLC		Company Confidential

An Engineering Activity is a wafer or group of wafers going through a non standard process flow.

A Split is when a lot is divided so that each group of wafers may be processed separately

A Lot is a group of wafers started together with a specific number ID, and traveler.

A Lot is a wafer or group of wafers defined by a lot number. A batch is a wafer or group of wafers that is being moving through a specified process.

An RSC means Run Status Change. It is a document typically attached to a traveler that changes either the method or number of wafers to be processed for any given step.

Activity counting in its natural form is defined as a Batch of material moving through a Process Step. One Lot with one wafer through a Process Step counts as one Activity.

One lot through a Process Step counts as one multiplied by the number of wafers in the Lot. If a Lot has 16 wafers and moves through a Process Step then 16 activities are documented and accrued.

As reference to these definitions we can use the following example;

PDME—Pad Mask Etch is the step name

The subsequent sub steps that support the main step are

Etch Lot

Etch Check

D-Strip Plasma Strip

Solvent Strip—Wet Solvent Strip

Descum—Gasonics

Final Inspect

The main step PDME and the subsequent sub steps are defined then as the Process Step. The main step PDME is part of a manufacturing process

A technician reads a Lot traveler. The traveler requests the Lot of 16 wafers move through PDME.

After checking that the wafer count and scribe are correct, the technician proceeds through each sub step (1-6) Section 8.3. Each sub step requires that a barcode label is read and that date, time and initials are added to the Lot traveler for documentation purposes.

Page 7 of 14


SVTC Technologies, LLC		Company Confidential

When the Lot is complete through the last of the sub steps i.e. Final Inspect, then the lot is said to be complete; out of the step.

The 16 wafers in the Lot were run together so the lot is considered one Batch. When the technician barcodes through the Final Inspect the Ingress Database is automatically updated

The Batch was successfully processed through a group of sub-steps which supported the Process Step. 16 Activities were accrued.

Example 2: A Lot has 16 wafers. At implant step PTI we perform a Split so that 1/2 of the Lot receives a larger dose of phosphorus at a greater acceleration. The second half of the Lot receives the standard or control implant dose and acceleration.

At the implant step the lot is sorted and split as required so that the control wafers (8) and the split wafers (8) are separated into two Batches. Each Batch is then run as defined by the RSC.

As defined in section 8.4 each Batch is always equal to the original Lot size. In this example we’ve run 2 Batches each containing 8 wafers. In a Split situation each Batch is counted as the full Lot. So each Batch is counted as 16 wafers. We ran 2 Batches on this Lot through this Process Step, consequently 32 activities were accrued.

The Split can be ordered by the customer using two different methods.

Write the Split as part of the traveler in the appropriate step.

Implant 1, Implant 2, etc.

Write and attach an RSC that explains the split. Reference Specification 27-00002.

The Engineering Activity is recorded using the Ingres database system

The Engineering Activity is documented on the RSC. The production representative verify’s that the RSC is correct and then checks for Splits or other Engineering Activities. Once confirmed, the step and Engineering Activity is written on the RSC.

After the production supervisor verifies the Engineering Activity count the customer is to acknowledge the engineering activity by counter signing the RSC. This confirms the acknowledgement and acceptance of the forecasted Engineering Activities.

***

8.3.6.1.2 If the Split or Look Ahead Wafer is performed by Customer/engineer, no extra activity is charged.

Page 8 of 14


SVTC Technologies, LLC		Company Confidential

When the Lot gets to the RSC Split step the fab technician informs either the on site supervisor, the expeditor or the lead that he has an RSC Split. The expeditor confirms the RSC and then enters the information into the Ingress Database.

The number of Splits is multiplied by the total number of wafers in the Lot equaling the Engineering Activity for that step.

Reference Form A.

Form A is entitled “Golden Run Card.” It is a graphic representation of a four step flow. The Golden Run Card demonstrates Engineering Activity counts for a standard, 2 way and 3 way Splits.
