U.S.

the
laws of the United States, as Trustee under the Indenture referred to herein
(the “Trustee”).
This
First Supplemental Indenture shall become effective only immediately after
the
closing of the Merger in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
WHEREAS,
the Company and the Trustee heretofore executed and delivered an Indenture,
dated as of March 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”),
in
respect of the 5.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2010 (each, a “Security”
and
collectively, the “Securities”);
and
WHEREAS,
the Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
March
8, 2006, with Micron Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”),
March
2006 Merger Corp. ("Merger
Sub"),
a
Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (as amended
through the date hereof, the "Merger
Agreement"),
which
provides that March 2006 Merger Corp. will merge with and into the Company,
the
separate corporate existence of March 2006 Merger Corp. shall cease and the
Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”);
and
WHEREAS,
the Merger is expected to be consummated on June 21, 2006; and
WHEREAS,
each share of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger,
other than any shares of Company common stock to be canceled pursuant to
Section
1.6(c) of the Merger Agreement, will be canceled and extinguished and
automatically converted into the right to receive 0.5925 (the “Exchange
Ratio”)
of a
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the common stock, par
value $0.10 per share, of Parent (subject to cash to be paid in lieu of
fractional shares of Parent common stock); and
WHEREAS,
Section 4.11(a)(A) of the Indenture provides that, as a condition precedent
to a merger, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture providing that the holder of each Security then outstanding shall
have
the right to convert such Security into the kind and amount of shares of
stock,
other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon effectiveness
of
such merger by a holder of a number of shares of Company common stock
deliverable upon conversion of such Security immediately prior to effectiveness
of such merger; and
WHEREAS,
Section 4.11(a) of the Indenture further provides that such supplemental
indenture executed and delivered by the Company in the case of a merger shall
provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture)
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
of
the Conversion Rate provided for in Article 4 of the Indenture; and
WHEREAS,
Section 11.1(a)(8) of the Indenture provides that in the case of a merger,
the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or Securities
without notice to or consent of any holder of Securities for the purpose
of
complying with the provisions of the Indenture in the event of a merger,
consolidation or transfer of assets (including the provisions of Section
4.11 of
the Indenture); and
WHEREAS
the Company desires to execute and deliver this First Supplemental Indenture
in
accordance with Section 4.11(a)(A) of the Indenture; and
WHEREAS,
this First Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company and the Trustee; and
NOW,
THEREFORE, the Company and the Trustee agree as follows that the following
Sections of this First Supplemental Indenture supplement the
Indenture:
ARTICLE

ASSUMPTION
BY SUCCESSOR CORPORATION
SECTION
1.1 Definitions.
(a) Capitalized
terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms

(b) Section
1.1 of the Indenture is hereby supplemented and amended as follows:
The
definition of “Common
Stock”
shall,
upon consummation of the Merger, mean the common stock of Parent $0.10 par
value
per share as it exists on the date of this First Supplemental Indenture and

any
reclassification or reclassifications thereof and which have no preference
in
respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary
or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Parent and which
are
not subject to redemption by the Parent; provided,
however,
that if
at any time there shall be more than one such resulting class, the shares
of
each such class then so issuable on conversion of Securities shall be
substantially in the proportion which the total number of shares of such
class
resulting from all such reclassifications bears to the total number of shares
of
all such classes resulting from all such reclassifications.
The
definition of “Merger”
shall
mean the merger of March 2006 Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent,
with and into the Company pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of
Merger,
dated as of March 8, 2006, as amended, by and among Parent, the Company and
March 2006 Merger Corp., with the Company continuing as the surviving
