In the event Spansion LLC fails to satisfy its obligations under this Article 1, Spansion LLC shall (a) promptly negotiate with FML a reduction of the relevant minimum purchase commitment(s) of Spansion Japan to FML and/or its affiliates under the FSET Foundry Agreement prior to the end of the relevant quarter(s) for compliance therewith, and (b) if such negotiation is unsuccessful, promptly indemnify Spansion Japan for any amounts owed by Spansion Japan to FML as specified in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 of the FSET Foundry Agreement, and Exhibit J of Amendment No. 2 to the FSET Foundry Agreement (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
