or all Attachments provided the party in breach is given written notice and
fails to cure such breach within 30 days or immediately in the event of (i)
insolvency, dissolution or liquidation by or against either party, (ii) any
assignment of either party's assets for the benefit of creditors, (iii) any act
or omission of an act by a party demonstrating its inability to pay debts
generally as they become due, or (iv) if IBM has a reasonable basis to believe
any of the Items infringe intellectual property rights. In addition, IBM may
terminate this Agreement upon twelve (12) months prior written notice if
Customer transfers all or substantially all of its business assets to a third
party.
6.2 If IBM terminates this Agreement or an Attachment, IBM shall be entitled to
treat any or all applicable outstanding purchase orders as if cancelled by
Customer and Customer shall pay the quoted price applicable for any affected
Products and/or Services delivered or tendered and refused, and the cancellation
charges for binding portions of Customer's forecast and any cancelled

all Items supplied to IBM hereunder and that to the best of Customer's knowledge
no part of such Items infringes any intellectual property rights.
11.0 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
11.1 Neither party shall be entitled to indirect, incidental, consequential or
punitive damages, including lost profits based on any breach or default of the
other party, including those arising from infringement or alleged infringement
of any patent, trademark, copyright, mask work, or any other intellectual
property.
11.2 Except for nonpayment, no action, regardless of form, arising from this
Agreement may be brought by either party more than one (1) year after the cause

IBM price to Customer for the specific Products and/or Services that caused the
damages or that are the subject matter of, or directly related to, the cause of
action.
11.3 The limitation of Section 11.2 does not apply to: (1) payments referred to
in Section 10.1 and (2) damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage
to real property and tangible personal property caused by IBM's negligence.
11.4 Under no circumstances is IBM liable for any of the following: (A) third
party claims against Customer for losses or damages other than those in 11.3(1)

2. IBM Products, with the reasonable cooperation of the Customer, will be
subject to the following quality standards.
A) Wafer Specifications
a. Wafer Size: IBM will ship 8 inch diameter wafers.
b. Wafer Thickness and Finish: IBM and Customer will agree upon specifications
for wafer thickness and back finish.
c. Die Layout: IBM will be responsible for the reticle layout and stepping of
the Customer's die, consistent with IBM's normal defect monitoring strategy.
d. Packing:
1. Tested wafers: Tested wafers will be shipped in containers using
shipping methods approved by the Customer, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld.
2. Damaged Goods: The Customer will provide feedback on wafers damaged
during transit which are related to inadequate packing. IBM will then take
reasonable corrective action if the damages were caused by IBM. Customer may
return the wafer using IBM's RMA process.
B) Wafer Yields:
a. Circuit limited yield loss is solely the responsibility of the Customer so
long as IBM manufactures the Product in accordance with the CMOS _*_ process
technology's process parameters as defined by the SPICE decks. b. Minimum
Yields: Wafers with process yields less than _*_ of the wafer target yield will
not be shipped, unless agreed to in writing by the Customer.
C) Visual Criteria: The Customer's production Product will meet the IBM's
outgoing wafer inspection criteria including wafer warpage, thickness, back
finish, passivation integrity, visual defect inspection criteria and packing
integrity.
D) Electrical Criteria:
a. Parametrics: Product will be screened via parametric test probe scribe level
sample testing. This is consistent with IBM's active Statistical Process Control
program for the purposes of controlling and reducing the variability of key
device parametrics including voltage thresholds, breakdown voltages, poly
lengths and drive currents. For products that require special processing (e.g.
split lots), IBM and Customer will reasonably agree in writing, in advance, on
the data to be collected.
