IBM - AMD Confidential		Page 13 of 90

EXECUTION VERSION

Exhibit A (hereinafter referred to as “Strategic Technology Objectives”) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit B (hereinafter referred to as “Development Schedule”). The Parties agree that the process technology so developed, shall be high performance, leading edge technology and, to the extent consistent with the Strategic Technology Objectives, shall be cost efficient. Any modification to such Strategic Technology Objectives or Development Schedule requires the mutual agreement of the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Process Development Projects shall include the development of i) Proprietary Tools, ii) Packaging Technology, iii) Mask Fabrication and Photoresist Technology, iv) Stand Alone Memory, v) SiGe Technology, vi) Chip Designs, or vii) Post-Silicon Devices.

3.2

The Parties agree that Exhibit A also sets forth the Pre-T0 In-Scope Technical Subjects and the potential technology implementation options for each Process Development Project. The Parties shall work together to evaluate the various options available, including individual process module feasibility, integration, characterization and qualification. The goal of such evaluation is to agree on an integrated process technology that meets the Strategic Technology Objectives. If the Project Leaders are unable to agree on a particular process module to be developed, or should they disagree as to the continued development of a process module that was previously selected, the process module preferred by IBM shall be pursued in the applicable Process Development Project.

3.3

For information other than that developed by the Parties in a given Process Development Project to be considered Specific Results for that Project, including Background Know-How, it must be either deliberately provided to the Process Development Projects by the owner of such information, or be evaluated by the Project Leaders, pursuant to Section 3.2, for possible use in a Process Development Project. In the event such item of information is provided, and the Party owning such information notifies the Project Leaders within thirty (30) days after such owning Party’s disclosure or the initiation of such evaluation that such information should be withdrawn, such owning Party may withdraw such information from use in the Process Development Projects and all such information in tangible form associated therewith shall be returned to such owning Party and such tangible information shall not become Specific Results. In the event of such withdrawal, any non-tangible information related to such information retained in the minds of the non-owning Party’s employees shall be treated as Specific Results by the non-owning Parties. Absent such notice and withdrawal within thirty (30) days, all information deliberately provided by the owner of such information or evaluated by the Project Leaders shall be treated as Specific Results.

3.3.1

Any issue as to whether information was deliberately provided to the Process Development Projects shall be resolved by the Project Leaders based on either of the following criteria:

3.3.1.1

whether the information was deliberately exposed to the other Parties by a Representative of the owner of such information; or

EXECUTION VERSION

3.3.1.2

whether the evaluation of the information by the Representatives was validly considered for incorporation into the Process Development Projects.

If the Project Leaders cannot agree, such issue shall be resolved by the Management Committee in accordance with the criteria in Sections 3.3.1.1 and 3.3.1.2.

3.3.2

Each Party shall be responsible for instructing its Representatives on methods of proper introduction of information into the Process Development Projects, and the consequences under Section 7.10, below, of information that is inadvertently obtained.

3.4

During a given Process Development Project, the IBM Project Leader shall designate elements of the Specific Results and Background Know-How thereof that IBM will be applying toward development of its applicable Bulk CMOS or its applicable Industry Standard CMOS process. IBM shall provide an initial designation of such elements at the completion of its initial feasibility studies for the applicable Process Development Project (set forth in Exhibit B as the “T-Bulk date”), and IBM shall provide a final designation of such elements no later than the “T1” date for the applicable Process Development Project, as set forth in Exhibit B. AMD agrees that IBM reserves the right to change such designations between its initial designation and its final designation. In either case, prior to making such determinations IBM shall consult with AMD, who shall provide its input as to the applicability of such elements to a Bulk CMOS or Industry Standard CMOS process; provided, however, that IBM shall have the right to make any and all final decisions as to designation and application of such elements to its Bulk CMOS or its Industry Standard CMOS process. The Project Leaders shall agree upon a specific process by which IBM will make this designation and by which IBM will address any requests for clarification by AMD within reasonable time periods. For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to Specific Results designated as Bulk CMOS Information or Industry Standard Information as described in this section 3.4, Bulk CMOS Information and Industry Standard Information shall include those items listed in Exhibit K attached hereto. Exhibit K may be updated from time to time by written mutual agreement of the Management Coordinators.

3.5

Each Party shall have access to all Specific Results and shall be solely responsible, including the cost therefor, for the transfer of Specific Results to its own facilities. In addition to Representatives, AMD may assign additional personnel to IBM facilities to assist with such transfer. The number of additional personnel and the duration of their assignment shall be mutually agreed to by the Management Committee. As part of each Process Development Project, the Project Leaders shall coordinate the completion of the Documentation for such Process Development Project and each Party shall have access to all such Documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsequent to the Parties establishing the Strategic Technology Objectives (at Pre-T0 Exit ) for CMOS14S, only a subset of the Documentation shall be prepared for the CMOS 14S Process Development Project, as determined by the Project Leaders.

3.6

Without liability to the other Parties for breach hereof, to the extent known by a Party disclosing information for use in any Process Development Project, prior to such disclosure, such disclosing Party agrees to promptly notify the other Parties of any limitations on the uses of such information, whether such use would violate or whether such information is protected by any copyright or mask work or similar right of any Third Party. Upon such notification, the Parties may agree to accept such information into the Process Development Project subject to such limitations. Upon the failure to make such notification, or if any such limitation arises after disclosure by the disclosing Party, then the Parties shall attempt to work together to find a mutually agreeable solution. Each Party further agrees to use reasonable efforts to ensure that it will not design or develop the Process Development Projects in such a way that requires the use of any Third Party confidential information, which is not available to the other Parties for their use as aforesaid. Each Party further agrees to use reasonable efforts to ensure that it will not disclose to the other Parties any information considered confidential by it or by any Third Party which information does not relate to the Process Development Projects.

3.7

To the extent that either Party enters into a development agreement with its equipment, design, and materials suppliers and elects to disclose the results of any such development to the other Party as Background Know-How under a Process Development Project or Pre-T0 Activity, and to the extent the disclosing Party has the right to do so, the disclosing Party agrees to notify the other Party of such development agreement. Furthermore, the disclosing Party will consent to include a reasonable number of Representatives of the other Party in technical discussions with each such supplier.

EXECUTION VERSION

Development Projects in tangible form which is not designated as confidential in accordance with this Section 7.2, but which from its nature appears likely to be confidential, such Representative will notify the Technical Coordinators who then will decide whether or not such information can and should be thereafter treated as confidential. The Technical Coordinators shall either mutually agree that such information is non-confidential or have all copies of such information in tangible form promptly marked with the appropriate legend identifying its confidentiality.

7.3

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with respect to Specific Results and any other confidential information of either Party, which is confidential pursuant to Section 7.2 above, the Party receiving such information shall use the same efforts to avoid its publication or dissemination to Third Parties as it employs with respect to information of its own which it does not desire to be published or disseminated. For Specific Results of each Process Development Project and Background Know-How, the obligations of confidentiality shall terminate *** for each applicable Process Development Project (if this Agreement is terminated or if for some other reason a given Process Development Project is not pursued ***, such time period shall be *** of the applicable Process Development Project); in the case of Proprietary Tools, this obligation of confidentiality shall terminate *** after its disclosure by the disclosing Party; and for all other confidential information this obligation of confidentiality shall terminate *** after its disclosure by the disclosing Party. This obligation shall not, however, apply to any information that is:

7.3.1

already in or comes into the possession of the receiving Party or its Subsidiaries without obligation of confidence;

7.3.2

now, or hereafter becomes, publicly available without breach of this Agreement;

7.3.3

intentionally disclosed to or rightfully received from Third Parties without obligation of confidence;

7.3.4

independently developed by the receiving Party or its Subsidiaries;

7.3.5

approved for release by written agreement of the disclosing Party; or

7.3.6

inherently disclosed in the use, lease, sale or other distribution of any available product or service or publicly available supporting documentation therefor by the receiving Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

7.4	The receiving Party’s obligations with respect to Specific Results or any other confidential information of the disclosing Party as specified in Section 7.3, above shall not apply to any disclosure that is:

7.4.1

in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental body of any country or group of countries or any political subdivision thereof; provided, however, that the receiving Party shall first have notified the disclosing Party and made a good

such sublicenses shall be subject to confidentiality terms that are the same or substantially similar to those set forth in this Agreement, and at a minimum must have a confidentiality term that is no less than that set forth herein and include IBM as a third party beneficiary with respect to such confidentiality terms that may be disclosed under said sublicense so that IBM is enabled to enforce its rights with respect to such confidentiality terms and to seek to obtain damages as may be appropriate;

(d)

such sublicense shall terminate, with immediate effect if the Third Party undergoes any of the following:

becomes insolvent, is dissolved or liquidated, files or has filed against it a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation or similar action filed by or against it, is adjudicated as bankrupt, or has a receiver appointed for its business;

has all or a substantial portion of its capital stock or assets expropriated or attached by any government entity; or

with the exception of the AMD FMV, the Third Party undergoes a Change of Control (as such term is defined in Section 12.3 of this Agreement, as modified to apply to such sublicensee instead of AMD), but with regard to the AMD FMV, if a new entity formed from the former AMD FMV is no longer an AMD FMV, such sublicense to the new entity shall survive; and

(e)

to the extent permitted by law, such agreement shall grant IBM third party beneficiary status (or the equivalent under whatever law applies to the sublicense agreement) with an independent right to enforce the confidentiality and license term of the agreement. If AMD fails to reach an agreement with its disclosee(s) on such third party beneficiary status, then IBM shall discuss and negotiate with AMD for a possible alternative to this sub-section (e).

7.8

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, AMD shall not be prevented from furnishing or disclosing technical information whether or not included in Specific Results developed solely by AMD, or by AMD and Third Parties to any Third Party.

EXECUTION VERSION

circumventing the terms and conditions of this Section 7. Further, disclosure of such technical information shall not be prevented even if a minor portion of Bulk CMOS or Industry Standard CMOS Information embodied in Specific Results is commingled with and constitutes an inseparable element of such technical information. Additionally, the Parties agree that, subject to the terms of this Section 7.8, AMD reserves the right to use AMD Background Know-How and to disclose such Background Know-How to Third Parties, without limitation even if a minor portion of Pre-T0 Information (excluding High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information) is commingled with and constitutes an inseparable element of such technical information. Prior to disclosing any such commingled Pre-T0 Information to Third Parties, AMD must obtain written approval of IBM’s Management Committee member, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, AMD agrees that, to the extent it has the right to do so, AMD will submit as AMD Background Know-How any improvements or enhancements made by AMD or a Third Party to such commingled Pre-T0 Information. AMD further agrees that it will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain the right to submit such improvements or enhancements as AMD Background Know-How. AMD’s failure to provide such submissions due to administrative reasons shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement. For clarity, any information that substantially alters the fundamental nature of the commingled Pre-T0 Information shall not be considered a “minor portion”. If any dispute arises with regard to the definition of “minor portion” prior to disclosure, the Management Committee shall resolve such dispute. No royalties shall be payable in connection with the disclosures permitted by this Section 7.8.

In addition, AMD may request permission in writing from IBM to disclose Specific Results and/or Pre-T0 Information, in addition to that set forth in Sections 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8 to Third Parties. IBM will consider and respond in writing within four weeks to each such request.

7.9

IBM shall have the right to disclose Specific Results to any Subsidiary or any Third Party, at any time and for any purpose, and such recipients shall have the right to disclose Specific Results to their Subsidiaries, provided that such disclosures shall be subject to appropriate confidentiality terms that, at a minimum, shall have a term of confidentiality no shorter than that set forth herein.

7.10

With respect to information that does not relate to the Process Development Projects and which is considered confidential by either Party, it is not the intention of either Party to disclose to or obtain from the other Party any such information. In particular, the Parties acknowledge that IBM has other development projects and relationships being conducted in the Development Facilities, and the Parties shall take reasonable precautions to limit the disclosure and receipt of information unrelated to Process Development Projects. In the event that a Representative of one Party obtains any such information of the other Party that is designated as confidential or which should from its nature be understood to be confidential, the Technical Coordinators of both Parties shall be informed, and any such information in tangible form shall promptly be returned to said originating Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall convey any right to said Party to use said tangible information for any purpose. However, any non-tangible information related to said information which is retained in the minds of the Party’s employees will be treated as Specific Results.
