expense, for having sufficient facilities, test equipment, labor, test programs
and other items in place on such site to meet required quantities and cycle
times. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TI shall be responsible, solely at its
expense, for furnishing to Anam in a timely manner copies of the multi-probe
test programs necessary for Anam to perform multiprobe testing on the required
quantities and within the required cycle times; provided, however, that TI shall
be under no obligation to furnish test programs compatible with any test
equipment other than the test equipment TI uses in its wholly-owned facilities
for comparable wafers. All test programs required to be implemented by Anam in
accordance with this Section 4.10 shall be consistent with TI's own test
programs and shall not require Anam to perform testing not otherwise generally
performed by TI with respect to comparable products. Anam shall use no other
test programs on TI Products other than those furnished or approved by TI. TI
agrees to purchase any testers used by Anam for TI Products at the end of Anam's
use of such testers on TI Products. TI's purchase price for such equipment shall
be equal to Anam's original purchase price for such equipment depreciated on a
five-year straight line basis and subject to a discount in price for excessive
wear and tear. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TI will consign to Anam such
testers as may be required to enable Anam to test Products for sale to TI in
accordance with this Agreement. TI will pay for shipping of such testers and
provide, or reimburse Anam for, interface plates. Anam will provide probe cards,
power conditioner, power supplies, and probers. In consideration of the
foregoing, Amkor shall reduce the price otherwise payable by TI to Amkor for all
Phase 1 and Phase 2 Products by [ * ]. Anam shall be responsible for tester
hardware and software maintenance and support, as well as software upgrades,
either providing such services itself, or contracting for such services at its

4.11 TI INCOMING TESTING AND INSPECTION.
4.11.01 TI shall furnish to Anam from time to time, as required,
quality and reliability Specifications applicable to TI
Products. Among other things, those Specifications will
specify the quality standards referred to within TI as the
"Category 1" standards. Such Specification shall be consistent
with specifications applicable to the Category 1
specifications met by TI's own facilities. Following receipt
of each shipment, TI may perform incoming tests on each
shipment of TI Products. In the event such tests demonstrate
that such TI Products fail to conform to the then-applicable
quality and reliability Specifications furnished by TI and
such Specifications conform to the foregoing, TI shall have
the right to return, after confirmation of failures, such TI
Products to Anam for rework or replacement at no cost to TI.
TI has the right to recommend corrective action to address
variances from Specifications. Such return shipments shall be
made by TI, F.O.B. the destination from which they were
originally shipped by Anam. A return material authorization
("RMA") form previously issued by Anam must accompany any such
returned TI Products.
4.11.02 TI agrees to perform incoming inspection of TI Products for
conformance with applicable Specifications within ninety (90)
days of delivery, and to advise Anam and Amkor of rejections
by written or electronic notice within five (5) business days
after inspection. If any delivery of products by Anam or Amkor
does not conform in any material respect to TI's order for
such TI Products or is found to fail applicable inspection, TI
shall have the right to reject such delivery by giving timely
notice to Anam and Amkor to that effect. TI will thereupon
return the non-conforming TI Products to Amkor or Anam (as the
case may be) at Amkor's or Anam's cost and risk, for, as may
be agreed between Amkor and TI, credit or rescreen and
replacement. If it is agreed that such TI Products shall be
rescreened, Anam and Amkor shall use reasonable efforts to
rescreen and replace such non-conforming wafers or dies and to
do so, if at all, within forty-five (45) days after the
receipt thereof. TI will provide Anam and Amkor with a report
specifying the reason for any rejection. All rejected products
may be subjected to inspection by Anam or Amkor to confirm
that they are defective. Any TI Product not rejected by TI
within ninety (90) days plus five (5) business days after
receipt by TI shall be deemed accepted. In the event that it
determined that TI's
10
REDACTED COPY
rejection of a TI Product was not justified in accordance with
the foregoing, TI shall reimburse Anam or Amkor, as the case
may be, for all costs incurred in connection with such
rejection, including without limitation in connection with the
shipping and testing of such TI Product.
4.11.03 Nothing in this Section 4.11 shall limit TI's rights under
Section 4.12 below.
4.12 CONFORMANCE TO QUALITY AND RELIABILITY STANDARDS; STOP SHIPMENTS.
4.12.01 Prior to any shipment of TI Products to TI, Anam shall:

(i) such TI Products conform to the relevant Category
1 standards (as defined in Section 4.11 above), as
may be applicable to such TI Products in
accordance with Section 4.11; and
(ii) the defective parts per million ("DPPM") levels of
such shipment (as determined under then-current TI
practice applied by TI to comparable products
manufactured by TI) for such TI Products conform
to the DPPM levels agreed upon by the Parties
provided that such DPPM levels shall not be lower
than those demonstrated by the manufacturing
process, as qualified, in use at a TI wholly-owned
facility, which process is most comparable to the
one in use at the Facility.
4.12.02 Unless otherwise permitted by TI, Anam shall assure that the
TI Products meet, and shall not ship TI Products to TI that do
not meet, the standards set forth in Section 4.12.01 above.
4.12.03 If it is determined by TI within 90 days of the shipment of TI
Products to TI that such TI Products do not conform to the
standards set forth in Section 4.12.01, above, then
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and
upon written notice by TI, Anam shall stop all further
shipments of such TI Products to TI, and TI shall be under no
obligation to accept or pay for any such shipments, until TI
shall be reasonably satisfied that appropriate corrective
actions have been taken by Anam to address the nonconformance
to such Category 1 standards and/or DPPM levels in accordance
with Section 4.12.01 above.

sufficient to prevent TI Products (including all defective TI Products which do
not meet Specifications) from being sold, assigned, consigned, delivered,
transferred or otherwise provided, to any third party without the express
written consent of TI. Unless otherwise specified in writing by TI, (a) all
defective TI Products which cannot be repaired economically shall be scrapped
and destroyed and (b) such defective TI Products shall not be transferred to any
third party. TI shall have the right, from time-to-time, to review (i) Anam's
security and scrap destruction procedures and (ii) Anam's compliance with such
procedures.
4.14 PRODUCTION HOLDS. At TI's request, Anam shall hold production on any lot
without charging TI an extra fee for that service for the first [ * ]. With
respect to lots for which the hold is made prior to the backgrind stage and
which hold exceeds [ * ], TI will pay Anam [ * ]. TI shall not be required to
pay Anam a hold fee with respect to lots for which the hold is made from and
following the backgrind stage. If any hold on a lot exceeds [ * ], TI, at its
option, will thereupon either (i) release the lot for cancellation pursuant to
Section 9.06, or (ii) release the lot for further processing. In the event that
a lot which is on hold is canceled in accordance with Section 9.06, TI shall pay

such wafer for 60 days, Amkor shall have the right to invoice TI for, and TI
shall purchase, such wafers at the Fixed Wafer Price therefor; provided that, in
such case, Anam shall complete the processing of, and delivery of, such wafers
upon TI's request at no additional cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon
shipment of such wafer to TI, the Price for such wafer shall be recalculated in
accordance with Article 8 and if such recalculated Price is different from the
Fixed Wafer Price paid, Amkor shall issue a credit or debit to TI, as the case
may be, for such difference. Any wafers so purchased by TI, while in the
possession of Anam, shall be owned by TI and retained by Anam on a consignment
basis and Anam shall continue to be responsible for any loss or damage to such
wafers while they are in Anam's possession. In the event that either Anam or
Amkor is responsible for a wafer for which TI has paid in accordance with

REDACTED COPY
Both TI and Anam understand that the particular TI Product to be provided to TI
for initial Product Qualification and as qualified by TI will define the
applicable manufacturing process with respect to the manufacture of TI Products.
After Product Qualification is successfully completed, Anam shall not make any
changes to said manufacturing process(es) or the Specifications without the
prior written instruction and consent of TI. Any unauthorized manufacturing
changes by Anam which affect the form, fit, function or reliability of the TI
Products shall render them unqualified. TI assumes no liability for the
manufacture of unqualified TI Products. Any particular TI Product and its
manufacture can become unqualified after Product Qualification if such formerly
qualified TI Product subsequently falls below applicable Specifications. Changes
to a particular TI Product or its manufacture may necessitate re-qualification.
TI or Anam shall bear the costs associated with the foregoing as determined
under the applicable TAA and this Agreement.

TI FORECASTS AND PURCHASE ORDERS
7.01 ANNUAL QUANTITY PROJECTIONS. By the 15th of May of each year during the
Term, TI shall provide to Amkor the annual quantities of Wafer Outs by
technology node (e.g., C10, C07, non-copper C05) estimated to be purchased from
Amkor by TI for the upcoming three (3) to five (5) year time period (the "Annual
Quantity Projections"). For purposes of this Agreement, "Wafer Outs" means
finished wafers. Such Annual Quantity Projections shall be a good faith estimate
by TI but shall be for informational purposes only and not constitute a binding
purchase obligation of TI. The Annual Quantity Projections may be issued
electronically.
7.02 FIXED LOADINGS. Subject to Article 6 above, TI shall purchase from Amkor,
Amkor shall sell, and Anam shall manufacture, quantities and types of TI
Products to the extent
15
REDACTED COPY
such quantities and types are deemed fixed in Forecasts and TI Start Plans
issued in accordance with the following provisions of this Article 7.
7.03 MONTHLY FORECASTS.
7.03.01 On the 20th day of each month (or on the last preceding
business day prior to the 20th day if the 20th day is on a
weekend or holiday), TI shall issue to Amkor a forecast (the
"Forecast") of the monthly quantity of wafer starts by
technology node (e.g., C10, C07, non-copper C05) and process
flow (e.g., 33c10x4L) to be purchased by TI from Amkor during
the next twelve months. The first three months included in
each Forecast shall be deemed fixed as to the quantity of
wafer starts and the related technology nodes. Accordingly,
the quantities of wafer starts and technology nodes specified
for the first and second months of each Forecast shall be the
same as the quantities of wafer starts and technology nodes
specified for the second and third months of the immediately
preceding Forecast.
7.03.02 The last nine months included in each Forecast shall be deemed
fixed as to the quantity of wafer starts, except that in each
Forecast, TI may increase or decrease the quantity of wafer
starts specified for any of the last nine months of such
Forecast (a "Subject Month") by up to an amount equal to [ * ]
of the Capacity specified in such Forecast for the
corresponding month immediately preceding the Subject Month.
Such forecasted amount, adjusted in accordance with the
foregoing, shall be deemed fixed as to the quantity of wafer
starts, unless further varied in subsequent Forecasts issued
in accordance with this Section 7.03.02.
[ * ] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately
with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to
the omitted portions.
7.03.03 Nothing in this Section 7.03 shall restrict TI from specifying
in its Forecasts quantities less than its minimum loading
requirements under Section 6.01, provided TI satisfies those
requirements on a six-month rolling average basis as set forth
in Section 6.01.04.
7.04 DAILY LOADING REQUIREMENTS AND WEEKLY FORECAST.
7.04.01 On a mutually agreed schedule between the Parties, TI shall
issue to Amkor a daily TI Start Plan (the "TI Start Plan").
The TI Start Plan shall specify device types, and quantities
in terms of wafer starts for TI Products the production of
which is to commence for each of the days covered by the TI
Start Plan. TI shall issue each TI Start Plan at least 24
hours in advance of the first date (Korea time) covered by
such TI Start Plan. The TI Start Plan will be issued
electronically.
16
REDACTED COPY
7.04.02 Anam shall commence production of such device types in such
quantities as specified for each such Fixed Day. The remaining
days of each TI Start Plan shall be for informational purposes
only and shall not be deemed fixed to any extent.
7.04.03 Anam shall produce TI Products in lot sizes to be agreed upon
by the Parties consistent with prior practice between the
Parties, which agreement shall be based in part on whether
Anam incurs materially higher per-die costs in the production
of smaller lot sizes.
7.05 SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS. On Monday of each week, TI shall provide Amkor a
Shipping Instruction Report identifying wafer shipments (including
shipment destinations) that need to be made in the current week starting
on that Monday.
7.06 FURTHER AGREEMENT. Nothing in this Article 7 shall restrict the Parties
from agreeing from time to time on quantities and types of TI Products
different from those deemed fixed pursuant to the foregoing provisions.
7.07 YIELD ESTIMATES.
7.07.01 Anam shall provide to TI accurate multi-probe yield ("MPY")
and process yields estimates for Anam's production of each TI
Product device on a weekly basis, or more frequently if there
is a material change in the estimated MPY or process yield
last communicated to TI.
7.07.02 Anam acknowledges that the quantities of Wafer Outs TI
specifies in TI Forecasts and of wafer starts TI specifies in
the TI Start Plans are dependent on the accuracy of such MPY
and process yield estimates, as provided by Anam. Therefore,
if with respect to any particular TI Product device type,
Anam's actual integrated yield (i.e., the cumulation of the
MPY and the process yield) exceeds the integrated yield
estimate last furnished by Anam to TI in time to allow TI to
adjust its Forecast or the TI Start Plan accordingly, then the
other provisions of this Article 7 notwithstanding, but
subject to TI's rights elsewhere provided in this Agreement
relating to inspection, quality, reliability, warranty and the
like, TI shall purchase such excess of such device type, but
only up to the Acceptable Yield Variance. For purposes hereof,
the "Acceptable Yield Variance" means [ * ]. Any such excess
so purchased by TI shall count against TI's loading
requirements elsewhere provided for hereunder.
[ * ] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately

7.09 PURCHASE ORDER PROCESS. Two weeks prior to the start of each quarter, at
the same time as the Quarterly Forecast, TI shall supply to Amkor a written
blanket purchase order. The purchase order shall be issued solely for
administrative/invoicing purposes and shall only provide the estimated amount
payable by TI to Amkor in U.S. Dollars. The purchase order shall not be binding
in any respect. Any terms and conditions expressed in any purchase order or
acknowledgment shall have no force and effect between the Parties.
7.10 REVISIONS. The Parties may agree in writing from time to time to revise the
periods covered by the rolling forecasts, the forecasting and ordering process,
the forecast and ordering data, and/or the technology by which the forecasts and
orders are communicated to take advantage of more efficient and effective means
of transacting business.

ARTICLE 9.0
SHIPPING, PAYMENT AND PACKAGING
9.01 SHIPMENTS. Shipments shall be made FCA (INCO Terms), Facility (the "FCA
Point"), in accordance with the routing and "ship to" instructions in TI's
shipping instructions. All title and risk of loss or damage shall pass from
Amkor to TI upon Anam's delivery to the FCA Point, provided Anam has shipped the
TI Products in accordance with TI's reasonable routing and "ship to"
instructions and any other packing and shipping instructions. TI shall be
responsible for all shipping, handling and insurance costs from the FCA Point to
the destination of the shipment.
9.02 PAYMENT PROCEDURES.
9.02.01 On the day Anam makes shipment, Amkor shall send to TI a
shipping notice containing the number of TI Products shipped,
estimated amount payable, lot number, and purchase order
number. Amkor shall also provide, at the end
18
REDACTED COPY
of each week, a weekly invoice and reconciliation statement
showing all shipments made during the week and any special or
incidental fees incurred that week as authorized by this
Agreement (e.g., Hot Lot fees).
9.02.02 Subject to Sections 9.02.03, 9.02.04 and 9.02.05 below, TI's
payment shall be net thirty (30) days of each such weekly
invoice and reconciliation statement.
9.02.03 With respect to payments owed by AUSA under either Leasing
Agreement after the effective date of the AMPA, each party
hereto shall cooperate in good faith to determine the amount
of each Rent (as defined in each Leasing Agreement) and
Interim Rent (as defined in each Leasing Agreement) payment at
the time that TI and AUSA execute each purchase order under
such Leasing Agreement. At the time of such calculation, the
parties hereto shall calculate an amount (the "Withholding
Amount") that TI may withhold from each weekly payment made
pursuant to Section 9.02.2 after March 1, 2000 so that TI will
have withheld a sufficient amount to pay each Rent and Interim
Rent payment under each Leasing Agreement as it becomes due.
TI shall then withhold the Withholding Amounts, as calculated
and adjusted upon the signing of each purchase order under
each Leasing Agreement, from each payment due pursuant to
Section 9.02.2. In the event that a given weekly payment is
less than such Withholding Amount, TI shall withhold an
additional amount from subsequent weekly payments until it has
withheld the same amount that it would have withheld if the
given weekly payment was sufficient to cover such Withholding
Amount. The amounts withheld shall be deemed payments towards
the invoices pursuant to Section 9.02.2. On each date that
Rent and/or Interim Rent are due under either Leasing
Agreement, TI shall (to the extent it has been given timely
notice of the date and amount thereof as provided herein
below) pay the Rent and/or Interim Rent to Citicorp or CBL, as
the case may be, due thereunder as of such date from such
withheld amounts, but only to the extent that it has withheld
payments pursuant to this Section 9.02.3. Anam, Amkor and AUSA
hereby agree to give to TI notice of the date and amount of
each payment due under each Leasing Agreement five (5)
business days prior to the date when payment is required to be
made. In the event that the Withholding Amount is insufficient
to enable TI to pay such Rent and/or Interim Rent on its
applicable due dates, TI may, in good faith and in its sole
discretion, increase the Withholding Amount to an amount that
it deems sufficient to enable it to make such Rent and/or
Interim Rent payments from the amounts withheld. Upon
performance in full of the Leasing Agreements and the release
of the Guaranties, TI shall remit to Amkor all withholdings
made hereunder and not paid to Citicorp or CBL, as applicable,
under either Leasing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, TI shall not be liable for any
loss, cost, damage or expense suffered by Anam, Amkor or AUSA
as a result of TI's failure to make any payment of Rent and/or
Interim
19
REDACTED COPY
Rent to Citicorp or CBL, as the case may be, under any Leasing
Agreement unless caused by TI's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
9.02.04 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, TI
shall have a right of offset to every amount due under this
Agreement to Anam and/or Amkor for any payments made by TI
pursuant to either Guaranty. Such offset may be applied in any
manner designated by TI to amounts due under this Agreement.
9.02.05 Beginning with the first week in January, 2001, and ending
with the second week in December, 2001, TI may withhold from
the payment due on each weekly invoice (the "Weekly Invoice")
from Amkor for products shipped to TI by Anam during each such
week, in addition to the Withholding Amount as set forth in
Section 9.02.03 and/or offsets pursuant to 9.02.04, an amount
(the "TAA Withholding Amount") equal to [ * ]. The TAA
Withholding Amounts shall be deemed payments towards the
Weekly Invoices pursuant to Section 9.02.02. In the event that
the payment due on a Weekly Invoice, after taking into account
Withholding Amounts pursuant to Section 9.02.03 and/or offsets
pursuant to Section 9.02.04, is less than the TAA Withholding
Amount, the difference between the payment due and the TAA
Withholding Amount (the "Carry Forward Amount") shall be
carried forward, added to and included in the next week's TAA
Withholding Amount, until the there is no longer any Carry
Forward Amount, or if there is a Carry Forward Amount after
the last Weekly Invoice, such Carry Forward Amount shall be
included in the December 31, 2001 technical assistance fee
payment due from Anam under the Xxxxx 0 XXX.

11.01.03 The Parties agree that maintenance fees payable by Anam to TI
for C05 testers that were suspended by agreement between the
Parties shall be reinstated, but only on a going forward and
not an accrued basis, effective as of January 1, 2002.
11.01.04 The Phase 3 TAA is further amended as follows:
(a) Section 1.08 (Future Technology Nodes) is amended to read
as follows:
1.08 FUTURE TECHNOLOGY NODES. Advanced Available Technology of
TI's next node (anticipated to be 0.10 micron, C027) of CMOS
logic processes or comparable processes that TI may develop
and intends to qualify for TI's own use.
(b) Article 15.01 (Term) of the TAA3 is amended to read as
follows:
15.01 TERM. The Term shall commence on the Effective Date and
shall continue through December 31, 2007, unless (i)
terminated under Article 11.00 or otherwise according to this
Agreement, or (ii) terminated in accordance with Section 15.02
below if the Parties fail to negotiate in good faith and
execute either a new technical assistance agreement or an
amendment to this Agreement for Future Technology Nodes on or
before December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the Parties agree to
discuss the transfer of the Future Technology Node based on
TI's C027 and not C035 as originally anticipated; provided,
however, that if TI's needs for C035 change the Parties will
discuss in good faith the transfer of C035 to Anam. This Phase
4 TAA will anticipate that TI commence delivery of the
applicable process documentation for C027 to Anam
approximately six (6) months prior to the time that the
process will undergo qualification at TI's internal
fabrication facility and that Anam will qualify the process
for manufacture and delivery of TI Products pursuant to this
Agreement not later than six (6) months following such TI
internal qualification
11.01.05 LBC5 TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER. In consideration for the release of
claims by Anam and AMKOR pursuant to Section 2.03 herein and
the royalty set forth below, TI shall, commencing
approximately three (3) months prior to the time TI expects to
qualify the LBC5 process in TI's own internal fabs, deliver to
Anam documentation of such process in comparable detail as
25
REDACTED COPY
provided to Anam for the C05 process pursuant to the Phase 3
TAA and shall grant to Anam a nonexlusive license only under
TI's applicable Trade and Industrial Secrets, Advanced
Available Technology, Associated Technical Information and
Technical Information for its LBC5 process technology on the
same terms and conditions as TI's C05 process technology was
previously transferred and licensed by TI to Anam pursuant to
Section 5.01 and 5.02 the Xxxxx 0 XXX. Accordingly, the
definitions and provisions of the Phase 3 TAA are hereby
amended as necessary to include the LBC5 technology
deliverables and to accommodate the delivery of the
aforementioned process technology and the license of same as
provided herein. TI currently estimates that such process will
undergo qualification at TI on or about October of 2002 and
accordingly expects to begin delivery of the process on or
about July 1, 2002 and shall continue to provide to Anam
updates to such process until the process is qualified at TI.
Anam shall pay to TI a royalty of [ * ] for all non-TI
Products (but not TI Products) manufactured by Anam using the
LBC5 technology in accordance with Section 5.03 of the Xxxxx 0
XXX. Without limiting the foregoing, TI shall provide to Anam,
at no additional cost to Anam, all necessary training of Anam
engineers at the TI facility in Dallas, Texas and the Anam
facility in Buchon, Korea, to accomplish the effective
transfer of the LBC5 technology from TI to Anam. Until the
LBC5 process is qualified in the Anam facility, TI shall, upon
Amkor's request, fabricate prototype Wafers based on the LBC5
process for Amkor customers; provided however, that (i) Anam
shall provide the reticles, (ii) TI has completed its own
internal qualification of the process, (iii) prototyping shall
be limited to not more than [ * ] distinct reticle sets
(design iterations), and (iv) in no event shall TI be required
to produce for Anam more than [ * ] wafers in the aggregate.
TI shall not be required to provide any warranty with respect
to such prototype wafers. Pricing will be agreed upon
consistent with the wafer pricing that Anam is required to
provide to TI under this Agreement.

with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to

ARTICLE 13.0
CONFIDENTIALITY
This Agreement incorporates Article 10 of the Phase 2 TAA and Article 10 of the
Phase 3 TAA in their entirety herein by reference, and such articles shall be
considered as part of this Agreement so long as this Agreement is effective,
provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the survival of such
obligations as set forth therein. Both Anam and Amkor expressly agree to be
bound by Article 10 of the Phase 2 TAA and Article 10 of the Xxxxx 0 XXX.
ARTICLE 14.0
TERMINATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
14.01 TERMINATION. Where the following grants to a Party the right to terminate
this Agreement, such Party may exercise such right in accordance with this
Article 14. For the purpose of this Article 14, Anam and Amkor on the one hand,
and TI on the other hand, shall each be considered a Party.
14.01.01 Expiration or Termination of TAA. Unless extended, upon the
expiration of the term or the termination of the last effective TAA,
this Agreement shall terminate automatically but in accordance with
any terms set forth in such TAA; or
14.01.02 Mutual Agreement of the Parties. The Parties may mutually
terminate this Agreement, in which event the future relationship of
the Parties shall be determined by the Parties; or
14.01.03 An Uncured Material Breach. Subject to Sections 14.02,
14.03 and 14.04 of this Agreement, a Party may terminate this
Agreement, and at its option, any TAAs, in the event of an uncured
material breach hereof by the other Party. A material breach
includes without limitation a curable breach that is not cured in
accordance with Section 14.03.
14.02 RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES. It is the intent of the Parties that any breach of
this Agreement be resolved in an amicable manner, to the fullest extent
possible, and that any such resolution be reasonable in light of the rights and
obligations of the Parties. If any breach should arise which cannot be resolved
by the personnel of each Party directly involved, the following procedures of
Sections 14.03 through 14.04 inclusive shall apply in each of the circumstances
described below.
14.03 CURE. If either Party (the "Breaching Party") shall at any time breach
this Agreement, without any material causative fault on the part of the other
Party (the "Non-Breaching Party"), by failing to perform any provision of this
Agreement, the Non-Breaching Party may advise of its intention to terminate this
Agreement by providing formal written notice of breach pursuant to Section 15.13
to the Breaching Party specifying the breach. Notice for purposes of the
foregoing provided other than in strict accordance
27
REDACTED COPY
with Section 15.13 will not be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement will not be terminable if: (i) the breach specified in the notice is
remedied within the sixty (60) day period following receipt of the notice by the
Breaching Party or (ii) if the breach reasonably requires more than sixty (60)
days to correct, the Breaching Party has, within thirty (30) days from receipt
of the notice of breach, begun substantial corrective action to cure the breach
and submitted a written remediation plan to the Non-Breaching Party pursuant to
Section 15.13 providing a detailed explanation of the steps to be taken to cure
the breach as quickly as practicable, the Breaching Party diligently pursues
such corrective action, and such breach is actually cured within ninety (90)
days following receipt of the notice of breach. If any breach is not cured
within the time permitted, the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to issue
a notice of termination of this Agreement within 90 days of the expiration of
the foregoing cure period by giving written notice thereof to the Breaching
Party. The Non-Breaching Party shall state in its notice of termination whether
it intends to exercise its option to terminate any TAAs. Upon the giving of such
notice of termination this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with Section
15.06. The Party receiving notice shall have the right to cure any such breach
up to the date of the notice of termination. In the event of a material breach,
the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to suspend further implementation
or effectuation of its obligations under this Agreement affected by such breach,
and shall not be obligated to resume such activities until such breach has been
cured. This Section 14.03 shall run concurrently with the conciliation process
set forth in Section 14.04 below.
14.04 CONCILIATION PROCESS. At any time during the Term, upon the occurrence of
one or more breaches under this Agreement, the Non-breaching Party shall
promptly deliver written notification to the alleged Breaching Party setting out
in reasonable detail and in clear and concise language the good faith basis for
and the specifics of such breach. Within the applicable cure period provided in
Section 14.03, either Party has the right to demand the following meetings:
14.04.01 Upon fourteen (14) calendar days' notice, a meeting of the
project coordinators for the purposes of, among other things:
(a) assessing the good faith basis for the claimed breach;
(b) defining, assessing and prioritizing the alternatives
reasonably available to cure such breach or to correct
the circumstances or situations that gave rise to such
breach so as to make its reoccurrence unlikely; and
(c) adopting by unanimous vote, one or more curative or
corrective courses of action.
14.04.02 If, after meeting in accordance with Section 14.04.01, the
project coordinators are unable to resolve the breach, a
meeting of an advisory committee consisting of the Presidents
of Amkor, Anam and the TI Executive
28
REDACTED COPY
Vice President responsible for the Semiconductor Group and two
additional personnel of their choice, one of each from TI and
Anam or Amkor for further attempts at resolution, upon
fourteen (14) calendar days' notice.
14.04.03 If, after meeting in accordance with Section 14.04.02, such
advisory committee is unable to resolve the dispute, a meeting
of the respective Chief Executive Officer of each of TI and
Anam or Amkor for the purpose of attempting to resolve the
breach, upon fourteen calendar days' notice.
14.05 REMEDIES, INJUNCTIVE AND OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF. Upon the failure to cure
a material breach by either Party of any provision of this Agreement, the
Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to pursue all available remedies at law
or in equity that it may elect, including but not limited to specific
performance or injunctive relief, in order to obtain the benefits which have
been provided pursuant to this Agreement and the TAAs, or to obtain adequate
recourse or compensation in the event the same are not so provided.
14.06 TERMINATION PROCEDURE. Following the issuance of a notice of termination
by the Non-Breaching Party in accordance with Section 14.03, the Parties shall
promptly meet and establish, in good faith, a reasonable transition plan that
will permit for a period not to exceed two years: (i) Anam, subject to the
payment of royalties under any TAA (including Section 5.03.01 of the Phase 2 TAA
and Section 5.03.01 of the Phase 3 TAA), to continue to use the technology
provided to it under such TAA so that it will have the ability to continue in
the foundry business using TI technology and at the same time transition to
another process technology by the end of such period, and (ii) TI to continue to
purchase TI Products from Amkor in the manner provided in this Agreement so that
TI's supply of products will not be interrupted in such period while TI
transitions to another source for such products. If during the transition
period, Amkor or Anam repeatedly and materially fails to fulfill TI's reasonable
requirements for TI Products, TI may terminate the transition period upon sixty
days' notice.
14.07 FORCE MAJEURE.
14.07.01 Should either Party be prevented from performing its
contractual obligations under this Agreement due to the cause
or causes of force majeure such as new acts of war or
aggression (declared or undeclared) by North Korea or other
third country or economy, fire, storm, flood, typhoon or other
severe weather conditions, earthquake, strike, student unrest,
legal restraints, government or like interference, judicial
action, accidental damage to equipment, as well as any other
cause outside the control of that Party, that Party shall not
be liable to the other Party for any delay or failure of
performance caused by any of the above events. "Force majeure"
shall include the failure to obtain such license(s) and other
approvals, including export licenses, as are required by U.S.
law or other applicable law for the equipment, software,
technology and Products to be provided pursuant to the
29
REDACTED COPY
terms of this Agreement, except where such failure is due to a
Party's breach of this Agreement.
14.07.02 In addition to providing notice in the manner set out in
Section 15.13, the Party affected by Force Majeure shall
notify the other Party of the occurrence of any of the events
set out in Section 15.16.01 in writing by cable, telex,
facsimile, or electronic mail within the shortest possible
time.
14.07.03 Should the delay caused by any of the above events continue
for more than ninety (90) days, the Parties shall settle the
problem of further performance of the Agreement through
friendly negotiations as soon as possible with the objective
of restructuring the relationship among them such that the
effects of such delay are minimized. If the Parties cannot
agree on a mutually acceptable solution within six (6) months
of any Party request for such negotiations either Party may
terminate this Agreement and any TAAs to the extent permitted
by, and in accordance with, Section 14.06.
