Clear and unencumbered title to any Current Asset or Type E Equipment purchased in accordance with Section 4.1.4. or Section 4.4., respectively, shall pass upon full payment of the purchase price or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties. IFX shall deliver (at its sole cost and expense) on the respective Transfer Dates to the purchaser the logbooks, maintenance records, databases, tools, specifications and technical data, information and other documents concerning the Assets that are necessary for the continued operation of the Assets, to the extent that such are not already in the possession of DPI or DPI Germany. If these documents are inseparably connected with any equipment that remains with IFX, the purchaser shall receive (at IFX's sole cost and expense) copies of the documents. If IFX is obliged to keep documents on the basis of commercial law or taxation law provisions, DPI Germany, also on behalf of DPI, shall assume responsibility for the corresponding storage obligations and the obligation to submit such as required by tax law in the event of company audits, to the extent that periods of time before the Transfer Dates are affected. DPI Germany shall permit IFX, its representatives and its auditor's personnel reasonable access (at IFX's sole cost and expense) to these documents during the statutory safekeeping periods.

4.1.6.: Replacement Assets. The Type A, B and C Equipment listed in Attachments B1 (the "Original Equipment") that is disposed of, vanishes or is otherwise withdrawn from the IFX mask house in the period between December 31, 2001 and the applicable Transfer Dates shall be deemed to be replaced by IFX assets that have transferred to the property of IFX through production, acquisition or otherwise as substitute or supplement for such disposed, vanished of or otherwise withdrawn assets listed in the said Attachments (the "Replacement Assets"). If it is not possible for IFX, using commercially reasonable efforts, to deliver to DPI or DPI Germany Replacement Assets that are comparable to the Type A, B and C Equipment, IFX shall have no obligation to deliver such Replacement Assets and the financial obligations of DPI or DPI Germany shall be reduced as per the agreed purchase price of the respective Original Equipment. The provisions of this Section 4.1.6. shall only be effective as to individual items of Replacement Assets that: (i) are of equivalent comparable age and condition to the Original Equipment installed in IFX's facilities in Munich, Germany; (ii) constitute a substantially equivalent model number as the Type A and B and C Equipment listed in Attachment B1; and (iii) are offered to DPI at the same prices as provided in Attachment B1 for the Type A and B and C Equipment.

These amendments may include, without limitation, delays in payment, changes in the Transfer Date(s), deletion of all or part of the remaining Type B and/or C Equipment under the Agreement, or other modifications or amendments to the Agreement relating to the purchase of Type B and/or C Equipment. If DPI and IFX are unable to reach an agreement on the scope and extent of any such amendment(s) within sixty (60) days of the date of the Section 4.9. Notice, then upon request of either Party, an independent consultant shall decide as an expert ("Schiedsgutachter") within the meaning of Section 317 of the German Civil Code; the decision of such expert shall be binding upon the Parties. Such expert shall be nominated by the President of the Munich Chamber of Commerce ("Industrie- und Handelskammer Munich") upon request by either Party. If a Material Adverse Event has occurred, the Parties agree that DPI's performance of those of its obligations contained in any disputed provisions of this Agreement related to the purchase of remaining Type B and/or C Equipment (as identified in the Section 4.9. Notice) shall be suspended pending conclusion of the expert's determination or resolution by the Parties. However, during such period of time DPI agrees that it shall not purchase from any other source equipment which is equivalent in functionality to the remaining Type B and/or C Equipment. Any contractual obligations of DPI for Equipment already delivered to DPI prior to the date of the Section 4.9. Notice are not subject to change. For purposes hereof: (a) the term "Materially Adverse Event" means (i) more than a [****] reduction in DPI Sales Revenue in any quarter (the "Reference Quarter") as compared to the average DPI Sales Revenue for the [****] calendar quarters immediately preceding the Reference Quarter, and (ii) a further reduction of at least [****] in DPI Sales Revenue in the quarter immediately following the Reference Quarter as compared to the Reference Quarter; and (b) the term "DPI Sales Revenue" shall mean those global sales revenues contained and reported in DPI's quarterly SEC filings.

7.2.

Remedies for DPI Infringing Products. If the use of any Product ordered hereunder and accepted and paid for by IFX or any Affiliate is enjoined (the "Infringing Product"), DPI or DPI Germany will, at its sole expense and option:

(a): Procure for IFX or any Affiliate the right to continue using the Infringing Product;
(b): Replace the Infringing Product with a non-infringing product of substantially equivalent function and performance;
(c): Modify the Infringing Product to be non-infringing, without unreasonably detracting from its function or performance; or
(d): If, options (a), (b) or (c) are not available under reasonable commercial conditions, accept return of the Infringing Product and issue a credit against future purchases from DPI or any DPI Affiliate equal to the purchase price of the Infringing Product(s).

In addition to any other rights or remedies available to DPI or DPI Germany hereunder or at law, in the event DPI or DPI Germany, after consultation with IFX, reasonably determines that any Product offered hereunder (or any portion thereof) is or may be subject to an infringement or misappropriation claim, DPI and its Affiliates shall have the right to cease production of such Products, to cancel any accepted Product Purchase Orders for such Products and to reject any new Product Purchase Orders for such Products, and DPI and its Affiliates shall not be liable for any damages to IFX or any IFX Affiliate or to any other person or entity for any such action or actions.

7.3.

Limitations on Remedies for DPI Infringing Products. Each of DPI and DPI Germany will be relieved of its indemnification obligations under this Section 7 to the extent that any Losses arise directly or—with respect to matters provided in clause (a), (c), or (d) below—indirectly from: (a) DPI's or any DPI Affiliate's compliance with any IFX or IFX Affiliate written specification or design for a Product, excluding any manufacturing processes or techniques used by DPI to implement such specifications and designs that were not supplied, specified or required by IFX; (b) DPI or any DPI Affiliate's use of the Assets, consigned Equipment or any Current Assets sold by IFX to DPI or DPI Germany, provided DPI uses such Assets, consigned Equipment or Current Assets for the manufacture of Products in the same manner as IFX used them; (c) any portion of the IFX Intellectual Property licensed by IFX under the IP Agreement, except to the extent that IFX has notified DPI and DPI Germany of an actual or potential infringement of third party Intellectual Property Rights and DPI or any DPI Affiliate used the IFX Intellectual Property after receipt of such notice, provided, however, that the IFX Intellectual Property is used by DPI or DPI Affiliates within the scope of and in compliance with the provisions of the IP Agreement; (d) modifications made to a Product by IFX or any of its Affiliates or on behalf of IFX or any of its Affiliates; or (e) the combination of a Product with any material or equipment not supplied by DPI or any DPI Affiliate, except the Product is intended for use in an item of equipment that is defined or otherwise described in a Photomask Specification.

7.4.

Indemnification by IFX. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, DPI and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless by IFX for any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (a) DPI's or any of its Affiliate's compliance with any IFX Photomask Specification, except to the extent that IFX has notified DPI and DPI Germany of a potential infringement of third party rights and DPI or any DPI Affiliate used the Photomask Specification after receipt of such notice, (b) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by IFX contained in this Agreement and (c) IFX's combination of any Product with any material or equipment not provided by DPI following IFX's receipt of notice from DPI indicating there is either the reasonable possibility that such combination infringes upon a third party's Intellectual Property Rights or that such combination does infringe upon a third party's Intellectual Property Rights; provided, however, that DPI's and its Affiliates' sole remedy for any indemnification obligation of IFX pursuant to clause (a) above shall be as provided in Sections 7.5. and 7.6.

7.5.

Remedies For IFX Infringing Specifications. If DPI or any Affiliate's use of any IFX Photomask Specification or design are enjoined (the "Infringing Specification"), IFX will, at its sole expense and option:

(a): Procure for DPI or such Affiliate the right to continue using the Infringing Specification; or
(b): Replace the Infringing Specification with a non-infringing Photomask Specification or design, as applicable, each having equivalent functionality and performance characteristics that does not increase DPI or its Affiliate's cost of manufacture; or

(c): Withdraw the Infringing Specification and replace any Product Purchase Orders for Products based on the Infringing Specification by Product Purchase Orders for other Products.

7.6.: Limitations on Remedies for IFX Infringing Specifications. IFX will be relieved of its indemnification obligations under this Section 7 to the extent that the claim arises directly or indirectly from a manufacturing process, design or specification or specification change made, owned, and/or requested by DPI or any of its Affiliates.
7.7.: Procedures. The Party claiming indemnification under this Section 7 shall provide written notice to the other Party of any claim, demand, suit or action for which it in good faith believes it should be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7 within thirty (30) days after such claim, demand, suit or action, is asserted in writing or by legal action against the Party claiming indemnification. The Party claiming indemnification's failure to so notify the indemnifying Party shall not relieve the indemnifying Party from any obligation which the indemnifying Party would otherwise have pursuant to this Section 7, except to the extent that the indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such failure to so notify. The Party claiming indemnification shall furnish to the indemnifying Party, on request, non-privileged information reasonably available to the indemnified Party for such defense. The indemnifying Party shall have sole control of the defense and settlement of such claim, demand or cause of action, except that the indemnifying Party shall not enter into any agreement, agreed order, consent judgment, or the like which is binding on the indemnified Party without the indemnified Party's consent. The indemnifying Party can settle the claim, demand or cause of action without the consent of the indemnified Party so long as a full and unconditional release is provided to the indemnified Party and no agreed order, consent judgment or the like is entered to the prejudice of the indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and participate in the defense and investigation of such claim, demand, suit or action at its sole cost and expense.

NATURE; PROVIDED, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY IN CASES OF FRAUDULENT OR INTENTIONAL OR GROSSLY NEGLIGENT BEHAVIOR OF A PARTY OR BREACH OF SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY). THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.8 SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

In the event that, through good faith discussions, DPI and IFX (or its Affiliates) are unable to negotiate a definitive agreement to sell or otherwise transfer IFX's interest in the Restricted Business to DPI within thirty (30) days of IFX's (or its Affiliate's) acquisition of its interest in the Restricted Business, then IFX or its Affiliates shall terminate, or sell or otherwise transfer its interest in the Restricted Business to a third party not Affiliated with IFX or any IFX Special Affiliate, within forty-five (45) days after termination of the thirty (30)-day discussion period between DPI and IFX referenced in this sentence. During such thirty (30)- and forty-five (45)-day periods, IFX and its Affiliates shall cause such Restricted Business to not be operated in a manner that would violate Section 6.1. or this Section 14.
14.6.: Enforceability. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section 14 and Sections 6.1. are to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines (or any Party or third party makes a bona fide claim) that any provision of this Section 14 or Section 6.1. is invalid under the European Union Law including Commission Regulations and Notices ("EU Law"), the German Law against Restraints of Competition ("GWB") or any other applicable law, then the Parties will use their best effort to arrive at a modification of the invalid provision that conforms to the EU Law, the GWB and other applicable law. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the scope, duration and/or operation of any provision of Section 14. or 6.1. is too broad to be enforced as written, the Parties intend that the court should reform such provision to such narrower or reduced scope, duration and/or operation as it determines to be enforceable; provided, that such reformation shall apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such determination is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any provision of Section 14 or 6.1. is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future law, and not subject to reformation, then (a) such provision shall be fully severable and the parties shall use their best effort to arrive at a modification as provided above, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provision was never a part of this Agreement, and (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance.

15. OTHER AGREEMENTS

15.1.: Assignment of Contracts. IFX hereby assigns to DPI all of IFX's rights and obligations under the Assigned Contracts. In the event an Assigned Contract cannot be assigned or transitioned without third-party consent, IFX will use commercially reasonable efforts to reach consent from such party; if it is not possible to reach consent, IFX shall treat DPI internally as if such consent has been obtained.
15.2.: Equipment Inspections; Consequences for Non-Conforming Equipment. During the sixty (60) days prior to each Transfer Date for Equipment (and in any event prior to deinstallation), DPI and its Affiliates may perform an evaluation of and examination on the Equipment (which may include an inspection by the Equipment manufacturer or authorized manufacturer representative) at IFX facilities, upon reasonable notice and at such a time so

as not to disrupt the operations of IFX's facilities. If any Equipment does not meet or exceed all of the manufacturer's minimum specifications and performance measures for such Equipment to qualify to manufacture Products according to the Photomask Specifications, as determined by the manufacturer or authorized manufacturer representative, IFX shall use commercially reasonably efforts to repair the Equipment to conform to such minimum specifications and performance measures; provided, that if such repair is not achieved by IFX on or before the applicable Transfer Date for such Equipment, then DPI may (at its sole discretion) elect to either (a) forego the purchase of such non-conforming Equipment (in which case its financial obligations under this Agreement shall be reduced by the applicable purchase price of such Equipment) or (b) purchase such Equipment on such other terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed by DPI and IFX. The foregoing constitutes the sole remedy by DPI in case an Asset does not meet or exceed all of the manufacturer's minimum specifications.

16. GUARANTEE BY DPI

DPI guarantees the obligations of DPI Germany under this Agreement and assumes corresponding direct and binding obligations vis-à-vis IFX and its Affiliates and Special Affiliates.

17.2.: Waiver. The failure of any Party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or any part thereof, or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
