*	Confidential treatment has been requested pursuant to section IV.1.(b) of the Confidential Treatment Request dated March 9, 2004.

immediately stop Works which Contractor is requested not to execute. The Parties clarify that this does not lead to a reduction of the remuneration Contractor is entitled to for Works already executed (the Parties clarify that works which are in progress are remunerated to the extent already carried out) in accordance with this Agreement prior to receipt of the request. Only in case and to the extent Contractor is in the course of duly executing the Works obliged to remunerate subcontractors or render other payments to third parties, which remuneration or payment can not be avoided (for example can be avoided since the change leads – in total—to an increased remuneration or payment) Company shall reimburse Contractor for such expenditures (such reimbursement shall be limited to the remuneration if the portion had be executed).

The Parties clarify that changes of quantities (Massen and Mengen) within the scope of work (the scope of work which relates to the lump sum provided for in no. 3.1) shall not lead to an adjustment of the remuneration.

The remuneration provided in no 3.1 of this Agreement shall – in case change or Additional Works are executed – be adjusted as follows:

4.1.

Adjustment can be calculated based on lump sum price calculation

Contractor based the lump sum provided for in no. 3.1 on the lump sum price calculation attached as Exhibit 11 Lump Sum Price Calculation.

4.1.1.

Works to be executed in addition

If due to a request for changes or Additional Works works, services or deliveries which are not part of the Works which form part of the wafer fabrication facility to be completed as described under no. 2.1 but which are equal to items, other parts of the Works or components etc. covered by the lump sum price calculation or the refined lump sum price calculation are requested to be executed and not part of the Works to be executed for the initial lump sum the remuneration is increased by the amount for the respective part of the change or Additional Works to be executed contained in the lump sum price calculation or, the refined lump sum price calculation (which based on and in line with the lump sum price calculation further details the lump sum price calculation and in which unit prices are allocated to all components, items etc.) if already delivered at the time of requesting the change or Additional Works

underlying the works, services or deliveries to be executed or rendered in addition. The refined lump sum price calculation shall be submitted to Company by Contractor no later than November 30, 2003 and replace the the lump sum price calculation.

4.1.2.

Works not to be executed

If due to a request for changes or Additional Works, Works covered by the lump sum price calculation are requested not to be executed, the Works to be executed for the initial lump sum the remuneration is reduced by the amount for the respective part of the Works not to be executed contained in the lump sum price calculation or the refined lump sum price calculation, if already delivered at the time of requesting not to execute Works or Additional Works underlying the works, services or deliveries to be executed or rendered in addition. The refined lump sum price calculation shall be submitted to Company by Contractor no later than November 30, 2003.

4.1.3.

Changes leading to Reductions and Additions

If changes requested lead to reductions as well as additional works, services or deliveries, the price impact of additional works, services or deliveries the increase is determined under no. 4.1.1 and the price impact of reductions is determined by no. 4.1.2.

4.2.

Adjustment can not be based on lump sum price calculation

If certain works, services or deliveries to be executed are not covered by the scope of work to be executed for the lump sum provided for in no. 3.1 and to the extent the adjustment of the price cannot be determined in accordance with no. 4.1 since the works, services or deliveries requested to be executed are not covered by the lump sum price calculation or the refined lump sum price calculation the price adjustment shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure which the Parties agree to follow without any detrimental time impact on the completion of Fab X:

Contractor shall - based on tender documents approved by Company - ask potential subcontractors for competitive bids (generally three) based on a lump sum approach for such works, services or deliveries. Contractor shall also be

entitled to submit a bid. Company shall have the right to provide additional bids. Based on the bids – of which Company is provided with copies - Contractor shall submit to Company a written proposal which bid Contractor considers most favorable for Company which proposal shall contain the underlying reasons.

Contractor is entitled to a fee of [***]* of the remuneration to be paid to the respective subcontractor (as general contractor’s fee (Generalübernehmerzuschlag) and of [***]* of the remuneration to be paid to the respective subcontractor as lump sum for the indirect costs of Contractor in addition to the costs to be paid to the respective subcontractor in accordance to the respective subcontract.

The Parties clarify that not Company but Contractor shall be party to the subcontracts and that the provisions of this Agreement relating to subcontractors shall apply unless explicitly provided otherwise in this no. 4.2.

4.3.

Payments
