Agreement may extend beyond the close of business on December 31, 2005,
Seagate's supply requirements obligations provided for in Section 4.1(a) herein
shall expire on the close of business on December 31, 2005.
2.2 Renewal. The Agreement may be renewed only by a written amendment
to this Agreement executed by Seagate and Supplier's General Manager. Except for
any cancellation liability or any payment for past deliveries of Product orders
Seagate may owe to Supplier, each party acknowledges that it neither expects nor
shall be entitled to recover any compensation from the other party after or on

3. SUPPLIER'S PRODUCTION
3.1 Capability. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Supplier is solely responsible for manufacturing the Product according to the
Specification, including without limitation procuring and maintaining all
necessary equipment, personnel, facilities and materials. Supplier will
immediately notify Seagate if it is considering discontinuing the Product
manufacturing in general. Nothing in this Section 3.1 is intended to prevent
Supplier from contracting with Supplier's Affiliates or other third-party
sub-contractors to complete the fabrication and transport of the Product.
-1-
3.2 Supplier Changes. Supplier may not change the form, fit or function
of the Product without Seagate's prior written approval. Supplier may not change
or alter the materials, process or location of manufacturing of the Product
without Seagate's prior written approval.
3.3 Seagate Changes. Seagate may request changes to the Product.
Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate Seagate's
requested changes into the Product. If the changes would increase Supplier's
costs to produce the Product, Supplier will notify Seagate within 15 days after
Seagate's request for the changes, or as otherwise mutually agreed to in
writing, and will provide satisfactory evidence to Seagate to document the price
increase. The parties will then negotiate in good faith for a price change. If
the parties are unable to negotiate a mutually agreeable price change, Seagate's
requested changes will not be incorporated.
3.4 Information. Subject to confidentiality obligations owed to third
parties, Supplier will provide the following information to Seagate upon
Seagate's advance, written request: (a) a xxxx of materials, including all
materials used in the manufacturing and assembly process; (b) a list of all
sub-suppliers; (c) a complete flow chart for the Product with lead-time
identified for key process steps; and (d) a list of the equipment used in the
fabrication of the Product. Such information will be treated as Supplier's
"Confidential Information," as defined in Section 10 of this Agreement, and
Seagate's treatment thereof shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10 of
this Agreement.
3.5 Disclaimers. Supplier acknowledges that no past pattern or practice
of forecasting, ordering, or purchasing by Seagate will constitute a
representation, commitment, or warranty by Seagate as to future orders or
purchases, all of which are governed only by the express terms of this
Agreement.
4. SEAGATE'S ORDERING
4.1 Orders.
(a) Seagate will purchase ***% of its total read channel supply
requirements for Enterprise Hard Disk Drives from Supplier
during the term of this Agreement. *** For the avoidance of
doubt, Seagate's read channel supply requirements include read
channel supply requirements for system-on-chip products.
Without derogating from its supply requirements purchase
obligations provided for in this Agreement, Seagate may
continue to procure samples and evaluate read channel devices
from alternate sources, and may ship limited volumes of
Enterprise Hard Disk Drives that do not incorporate the
Product for customer sample purposes for production shipments
that will occur after the term of this Agreement.
(b) In connection with its rights set forth in sub-section (a) of
this Section 4.1, Supplier shall have the right, upon
reasonable advance written notice delivered to Seagate, during
Seagate's normal business hours, and not more than once every
twelve (12) months during the term of this Agreement to
*** Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

appoint a nationally recognized certified public accountant
reasonably acceptable to Seagate who agrees to be bound to
confidentiality protections set forth in sub-Section 10.2 of
this Agreement to examine Seagate's relevant books, records
and accounts, to verify Seagate's compliance with the
provisions of Section 4.1(a). The auditor shall be instructed
to report only as to whether Seagate has failed to comply with
its obligations under Section 4.1(a) of this Agreement and, if
so, the amount of the discrepancy. The parties acknowledge
that it is impracticable and extremely difficult to determine
the actual damages or lost revenues that may proximately
result from any failure by Seagate to comply with its
obligations under Section 4.1(a) of this Agreement. As a
result, in the event any audit examination discloses a
discrepancy, then as of the date of the date of Seagate's
acceptance of any underlying order for each Enterprise Hard
Disk Drive that will not incorporate the Product during the
term of this Agreement, Seagate will be required to pay
Supplier a sum equal to $*** multiplied times the total unit
volume of Enterprise Hard Disk Drives that did not conform to
the requirements of sub-Section 4.1(a). In the event Seagate
does not comply with the provisions of Section 4.1(a), Seagate
will also reimburse Supplier for the reasonable costs and
expenses of the audit.
(c) Seagate will provide a weekly 9-month forecast of its
anticipated Product supply requirements to Supplier. The first
3 months of each forecast will be broken down into weekly
increments. The remaining 6 months of the forecast will be
broken down into monthly increments. *** Seagate may cancel
orders for the Product during Supplier's lead-time, subject to
the cancellation liability provisions in Section 4.2 of this
Agreement. *** After the Effective Date, the lead-time will be
specified and mutually agreed to quarterly and will be subject
to review and negotiation at quarterly business reviews. ***
4.2 Cancellations. Seagate may, on advance written notice, cancel
Product orders within Supplier's lead-time, subject to the following
cancellation liability:

13.9 Dispute Resolution.
(a) The parties acknowledge that performance under this Agreement
will be enhanced by the timely resolution of any disputes
between them. Accordingly, the parties will attempt, in good
faith, to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement first by informal efforts for 10
days before filing any legal claim. Thereafter any controversy
or claim will be submitted to Judicial Arbitration and

in San Jose, California, to whose jurisdiction the parties
consent. This clause will survive the termination of this

in writing and signed by Seagate's authorized representative
and Supplier's General Manager.
(b) All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or
written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the
parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and

impeachment, in any litigation or other proceeding involving
the parties, but evidence that is otherwise admissible or
discoverable will not be rendered inadmissible or
non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.
Either party may seek equitable relief pending the completion
of the mediation process. Except for such an action to obtain
equitable relief, neither party may commence a civil action
with respect to the matters submitted to mediation until after
the completion of the initial mediation session. The
provisions of this Section 12.9 may be enforced by any Court
of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement
will be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, to be paid by the party against
