EXHIBIT 10.6.1

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – EDITED COPY

UNTIL EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY THE DULY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PARTIES THIS DOCUMENT HAS NO LEGAL EFFECT FOR ANY PURPOSE.

AGREEMENT

This Agreement is entered into as of June 1, 2000 (this “Agreement”) among Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“SEC”) and Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. (“SSI,” and together with SEC, “Samsung”) and Staktek Corporation (“Staktek”) to provide the terms and conditions pursuant to which Samsung will obtain rights to practice Staktek technology and use Staktek intellectual property, pursue an investment in Staktek, and Staktek and Samsung will expand their commercial relationship.

In consideration of the premises and the covenants herein contained, and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. Equity Purchase:

Subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, SEC shall make an irrevocable offer (the “Samsung Tender Offer”) to purchase from the holders of shares of Staktek’s common stock (the “Staktek Shares”) and the holders of vested options to purchase Staktek Shares (collectively, the “Offerees”), up to an aggregate of the lesser (x) of 176,939 Staktek Shares or (y) 9.99% of the number of Staktek Shares outstanding as of the date of the Closing (as hereinafter defined) (the lesser of such amounts being referred to as the “Maximum Amount”). For purposes of clause (y) above, the number of Staktek Shares outstanding as of the date of Closing shall be determined after giving effect to the exercise on such date of any options to purchase Staktek Shares duly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Samsung Tender Offer. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for Staktek Shares purchased pursuant to the Samsung Tender Offer shall be U.S. $101.73 per share. The Samsung Tender Offer shall be made in accordance and shall comply with all applicable requirements of law, and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., Austin, Texas time, on July 18, 2000. Upon satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 17 and confirmation by SEC and Staktek of the validity of tenders by Offerees of Staktek Shares for purchase as specified by this Agreement and by the Tender Offer Documents (defined below), at the Closing, SEC shall purchase, pursuant to the Samsung Tender Offer, the lesser of all Staktek Shares duly tendered for purchase or the Maximum Amount of Staktek Shares.

# # # Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. Information for which confidential treatment has been requested is omitted and is noted with “***.” A complete, unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the event that more than the Maximum Amount of Staktek Shares are duly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Samsung Tender Offer, the number of Staktek Shares purchased from each Offeree who has duly tendered Staktek Shares for purchase shall be determined as follows: (a) first, SEC shall purchase from each such Offeree the lesser of (i) the number of Staktek Shares duly tendered for purchase by such Offeree or (ii) 9.35% of the sum of (A) the number of Staktek Shares owned by such Offeree as of the close of business on June 5, 2000 (the “Record Date”) plus (B) the number of Staktek Shares purchasable upon the exercise of vested options to purchase Staktek Shares held by such Offeree as of the Record Date and (b) second, SEC shall purchase from each such Offeree such Offeree’s pro rata portion of the remainder of the Staktek Shares to be purchased in the Samsung Tender Offer after the purchases made pursuant to clause (a) above, which, for each such Offeree, shall equal the product of (i) the remainder of the Staktek Shares to be purchased in the Samsung Tender Offer after the purchase made pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Staktek shares duly tendered by such Offeree for purchase in the Samsung Tender Offer not purchased pursuant to clause (a) above and the denominator of which is the number of Staktek Shares duly tendered by all Offerees for purchase in the Samsung Tender Offer not purchased pursuant to clause (a) above. SEC shall not be obligated to purchase fractional shares in the Samsung Tender Offer, and any fractional share resulting from any allocation hereunder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The parties agree that any holder of vested options to purchase Staktek Shares may tender for purchase in the Samsung Tender Offer up to the full number of Staktek Shares issuable upon the exercise of such options, with the actual exercise thereof being subject to the purchase of such Staktek Shares by SEC at the Closing pursuant to the Samsung Tender Offer. In this regard, Staktek and SEC shall work together to agree upon mutually acceptable procedures for the conditional exercise of vested options to purchase Staktek Shares at the Closing, including the deduction of the exercise price therefor from the payment of the Purchase Price for the related Staktek Shares at the Closing, and such procedures shall be set forth and described in the Tender Offer Documents.

(a) SEC and Staktek shall cooperate to prepare appropriate documentation related to the Samsung Tender Offer (“Tender Offer Documents”), including the following:

(i) An offer letter from SEC to persons identified by Staktek as being, as of the Record Date, existing holders of Staktek Shares and vested options to acquire Staktek Shares, which offer letter shall comply with all applicable requirements of law, shall contain such information as SEC may deem appropriate and shall be acceptable in form and substance to Staktek (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(ii) A Confidential Information Memorandum issued by Staktek containing information regarding the Samsung Tender Offer (including tax consequences to the Offerees) and such information about Staktek as Staktek may deem appropriate, which shall comply with all applicable requirements of law and shall be acceptable in form and substance to SEC (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(iii) Instructions to Offerees consistent with this Agreement and reasonably acceptable in form and substance to Staktek and SEC.

(iv) Forms of acceptance and representation letters (the “Acceptance Letters”) from the Offerees containing, among other terms reasonably agreed to by SEC and Staktek, the following:

(A) an acceptance of the Samsung Tender Offer and the terms and conditions thereof, specifying the number of shares being tendered for purchase;

(B) a representation that the shares tendered by such Offeree for purchase are duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable and are being sold to SEC free and clear of any liens, security interests or other adverse claims or agreements (other than the Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement (the “Current Voting Agreement”), dated November 14, 1991, between Staktek and its shareholders);

(C) a representation that such Offeree has not relied in any manner on any information, representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements of SEC, other than the Samsung Information (as defined below); and

(D) an acknowledgment by such Offeree that the information regarding Staktek provided to such Offeree in connection with the Samsung Tender Offer was provided by Staktek and was not verified by SEC and that SEC has no liability or responsibility to such Offeree for the accuracy or inaccuracy thereof.

(b) Each party shall take all actions reasonably requested by the other to ensure that the Samsung Tender Offer complies with all applicable requirements of law. If, at any time, Staktek discovers that any information included in the Confidential Information Memorandum or any other information regarding Staktek provided by Staktek to Samsung for inclusion in the Tender Offer Documents (the “Staktek Information”) contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Staktek shall immediately notify SEC of the details thereof and shall assist and cooperate with SEC in the preparation of such supplements to or modifications of the Tender Offer Documents as SEC shall reasonably request so that the Staktek Information included in the Tender Offer Documents, as so supplemented or modified, does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If, at any time, SEC discovers that any information other than the Staktek Information included in the Tender Offer Documents (the “Samsung Information”) contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, SEC shall immediately notify Staktek of the details thereof and shall assist and cooperate with Staktek in the preparation of such supplements to or modifications of the Tender Offer Documents as Staktek shall reasonably request so that the Samsung Information included in the Tender Offer Documents, as so supplemented or modified, does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, SEC shall not be obligated to purchase any Staktek Shares evidenced by a certificate containing any legends other than those (i) restricting transfer except in compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) referring to the Current Voting Agreement, (iii) purporting to deny preemptive rights to shareholders of Staktek generally, or (iv) referring to transfer or other restrictions or obligations that have lapsed, provided that in the case of clause (iv) above, Staktek has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to SEC of such lapse.

(d) The Staktek Shares acquired by SEC pursuant to the Samsung Tender Offer (“Purchased Shares”) will be issued and held in the name of the Secretary of Staktek, as trustee under a Voting Trust Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Staktek shall cause the trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement to issue to SEC at the Closing a voting trust certificate (the “Voting Trust Certificate”) evidencing the Purchased Shares.

(e) The Tender Offer Documents shall be mailed to the Offerees by Chase Bank of Texas, N.A., as tender agent, based upon names and addresses furnished by Staktek. Staktek covenants and agrees that the names and addresses of the Offerees provided by Staktek to the Tender Agent to enable it to mail the Tender Offer Documents to the Offerees will constitute a true, complete and accurate list of all holders of Staktek Shares or vested options to purchase Staktek Shares as of the Record Date and their respective addresses. The Tender Offer Documents shall require that each Offeree who desires to sell Staktek Shares to SEC pursuant to the Samsung Tender Offer tender the requisite documentation (including Acceptance Letter, form W-9, and share certificate or affidavit of loss) to the Tender Agent prior to the expiration of the Samsung Tender Offer. In reliance upon the representations, warranties and indemnifications made by Staktek to SEC hereunder, SEC shall defer to Staktek as to the identity and holdings of Staktek Shares and vested options to purchase Staktek Shares of each Offeree and the acceptability of any affidavit of and surety with respect to lost certificates tendered by an Offeree (each, a “Lost Certificate Affidavit”).

(f) SEC acknowledges and agrees that it shall be deemed not to obtain by assignment (and hereby waives for itself and its assigns) any contractual registration, preemptive or other special rights held by the Offerees (but not any such rights arising as a matter of law) with respect to the Purchased Shares immediately prior to the Closing. SEC may sell or otherwise transfer the Purchased Shares or the related Voting Trust Certificates only in compliance with the following terms, and the Purchased Shares and related Voting Trust Certificates shall bear corresponding legends:

(i) SEC may not sell or transfer any Purchased Shares or related Voting Trust Certificates except in a transaction which is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities laws or pursuant to an effective registration statement meeting the requirements of such act and laws. SEC shall not sell or transfer the Purchased Shares or the related Voting Trust Certificates in any transaction or series of transactions to more than ten persons or entities in the aggregate without the prior written consent of Staktek, which consent shall not be withheld, unless the transfer or sale would result in a requirement that Staktek register its securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(ii) As long as the Voting Trust Agreement is in effect, SEC may not sell or otherwise transfer any Purchased Shares to any “direct competitor” of Staktek (defined to be a company whose principal business is Stacking Plastic DRAMS or selling Plastic DRAM Stacks) or to a subsidiary or affiliate of SEC. Any transfer to any such person while the Voting Trust Agreement is in effect must be of Voting Trust Certificates only, and the transferee must agree in writing to be bound by the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement. Any Purchased Shares transferred by SEC to another person shall remain subject to the Current Voting Agreement.

(iii) SEC may not sell or otherwise transfer any Purchased Shares or related Voting Trust Certificates unless the transferee agrees in writing with Staktek to be bound by the terms of this Section l(f).

(iv) So long as SEC owns its stock in Staktek, SEC waives its right to bring a derivative action as a shareholder in Staktek so long as neither Staktek, its successors or assigns sues SEC, SSI or any of their subsidiary or affiliate companies. If Staktek, its successors or assigns, sues SEC, SSI or any of their subsidiary or affiliate companies, this waiver automatically terminates.

(g) SEC and Staktek shall appoint Chase Bank of Texas, N.A. as tender agent (“Tender Agent”) pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, subject to such changes as may be reasonably required by the Tender Agent. The fees and expenses of the Tender Agent shall be paid by Samsung, except that Staktek shall pay the postage cost of the mailing of the Tender Offer Documents.

(h) SEC represents that it is acquiring the Purchased Shares solely for the purpose of investment as a purely passive investor and has no intention of influencing the business decisions of Staktek or participating in the management of Staktek. SEC agrees that none of SEC, its subsidiaries or affiliates shall acquire any additional stock in Staktek if that would increase their collective ownership to ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding stock (measured without regard to options, warrants, or convertible instruments) of Staktek.

(i) As long as SEC owns any Purchased Shares or Voting Trust Certificates, Staktek shall deliver to SEC:

(i) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Staktek, an income statement for such fiscal year, a balance sheet of Staktek and statement of stockholder’s equity as of the end of such year, and a schedule as to the sources and applications of funds for such year, such year-end financial reports to be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and audited and certified by independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by Staktek;

(ii) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 60 days after the end of each quarter of each fiscal year of Staktek, unaudited financial statements (including income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements) and management commentary as of the end of such fiscal quarter in accordance with GAAP; and

(iii) at the same time as sent to any other shareholder of Staktek, any information or reports sent by Staktek to its shareholders generally.

SEC and any other owner of Purchased Shares or Voting Trust Certificates may assign its rights under this paragraph to any purchaser of the Purchased Shares or Voting Trust Certificates.

(j) At the request of SEC, Staktek promptly shall provide to any prospective purchaser of the Purchased Shares identified by SEC to Staktek, the information described in Rule 144A(d) (4) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. SEC and any other owner of Purchased Shares or Voting Trust Certificates may assign its rights under this paragraph to any purchaser of the Purchased Shares or Voting Trust Certificates.

(k) Each of Samsung and Staktek agrees for all legal and regulatory purposes, whether in the U.S. or Korea, including federal, state and local tax purposes, that it and agents acting on its behalf will treat the purchase of Staktek Shares pursuant to Paragraph 1 hereof as a purchase of Staktek Shares for the full consideration paid by SEC to the Offerees.

2. Technology License: Explicitly subject to and effective upon satisfaction of the conditions to Closing in Section 17 of this Agreement, Staktek hereby grants a non-exclusive, non-sublicenseable, non-transferable license1 to Samsung to use Staktek’s technology (the “Staktek Technology” or “Licensed Technology”2) and any improvements or modifications to make, have made, use or sell vertically stacked, one above the other, monolithic DRAM individually encapsulated in leaded plastic packages. Monolithic DRAM individually encapsulated in leaded plastic packages shall be referred to as “Plastic DRAM,” which term shall include, by way of example and not limitation, EDO; Synchronous, Single Data Rate; Synchronous, Double Data Rate. Plastic DRAM does not include RAMBUS DRAM (“RDRAM”) and nothing in this Agreement applies to or limits any party’s rights regarding RAMBUS technology, RDRAMs or DIMMS made with RDRAMs. For purposes of this Agreement, “Stacking” only refers to the vertical placement of two or more Plastic DRAMs, one above the another, whether touching or separated by space or separated or joined by adhesive, connectors or heat conductive material so long as the constituent Plastic DRAMs are structurally aggregated into a single unit having a total memory capacity approximately equal to the total memory capacity of the individual Plastic DRAMs in the Stack. “Stacking” does not include interposing between Plastic DRAMs, a printed circuit board large enough to carry more than one Plastic DRAM on a side. For purposes of this Agreement, “Stack” or “Stacked Plastic DRAM” only refers to the vertical stacking of two or more individually encapsulated Plastic DRAM. “Stacked Product” refers to either the “Stack” or “Stacked Plastic DRAM” or a DRAM memory module that incorporates “Stacks” or “Stacked Plastic DRAM.” The license, unless extended as provided herein, is for five years from the effective date of the license as follows:

Provided, however, Samsung is licensed to have a sub-contractor practice the Licensed Technology for the purpose of stacking Plastic DRAM manufactured by Samsung for sale as Plastic DRAM Stacks for sale under its own name or as modules populated with multiple Plastic DRAM Stacks sold under any name. Royalty will be due on all such manufactured Plastic DRAM Stacks whether to be sold as individual Stacks under the Samsung name or on modules to be sold under Samsung or other name. This license is sub-licensable to Samsung affiliates or subsidiaries and transferable to a company that later acquires Samsung’s DRAM Stacking business.

2	To include all trade secrets, proprietary information, patents, patent applications, copyrights, and other intellectual properties of Staktek directed toward Stacking acquired before or during the term of the license.

a. For each Stack of Plastic DRAM manufactured by or for Samsung or by or for any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or subcontractors, Samsung shall pay Staktek a *** royalty for each Stack of Plastic DRAMs; provided, however, only one royalty payment shall be made for each individual Stack.3 Royalties shall be paid as specified (*** ($*** (US) per unit)) and paid within sixty (60) days of the end of the quarter during which the units were shipped to any customer whether to distributors, affiliates, subsidiaries or other OEM or end user customer. No royalty shall be due for replacement or repair units so long as Staktek receives the relevant “Replacement Documentation” as specified and defined in Section 2n. Up to ninety (90) days, late payment is not a breach of this agreement so long as payment is made with interest at the lower of *** percent simple interest per annum or the highest legal rate computed from the first day a payment is past due up to the date of payment.

b. $*** (US) of royalty prepaid and available for credit against future production of Plastic DRAM Stacks by Samsung. This prepaid royalty once paid to Staktek pursuant to this Agreement is not reimbursable to Samsung.

c. Staktek shall assist in setting up a production line for Samsung or a subcontractor designated by Samsung in a timely manner. Samsung shall reimburse Staktek for reasonable amounts for employee time and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in this project of line set-up at Samsung’s or subcontractor’s request but not any other fees or expenses.4 Samsung or its subcontractor will make only reasonable demands upon the labor pool of Staktek and Staktek shall be the final authority on what personnel participate in the set up of the production line. Staktek or Samsung may request to visit Samsung or Staktek or subcontractor production lines without cost, fees or expenses to the host, which request shall not be unreasonably denied. The production line is projected to be set up by 240 days from the date all conditions of paragraph 17 are satisfied, but shall be set up no later than 240 days from that date. For each complete month after 240 days passes before the line is set up, the portion of the prepaid royalty that is available for credit against future production (Section 2b above) shall be reduced by $*** dollars. Any penalty or breach will be waived if the parties agree the delay is due to Staktek. Samsung may continue to purchase product and services from Staktek and the terms of such purchase shall be consistent with existing arrangements and this Agreement between Staktek and Samsung.

3	For example, if SEC sells a Stack to SSI, and SSI resells that same Stack to a third party, only one royalty is due on the original sale of that Stack from SEC to SSI, and no royalty is due on the subsequent sale from SSI to the third party.

In the event the parties cannot agree on the total amount of reimbursement for expenses associated with the line set-up work, the dispute shall be resolved based on industry practices and decided in a binding mediation and no lawsuit may be filed by either party over this issue or to challenge the result of the mediation (nothing from the negotiation of this agreement may be used in any such mediation). Staktek shall be reimbursed for personnel time at approximately the following example hourly ($US) rates: Senior Manager - $***; Manager - $***; Senior Engineer - $***; Engineer - $***; Supervisor - $***; Technician - $***; QA Auditor - $***; Instructor - $***; Lead Operator - $*** and other personnel at then prevailing United States rates.

d. Samsung agrees to establish at least one line with a capacity of approximately 600,000 merchantable Stacks per month no later than 420 days after the date all conditions in paragraph 17 are satisfied.5 Capacity and production will depend on sales and demand but Samsung makes no commitment to produce any certain amount of product. Samsung may manage and take any and all actions regarding this line or its production as it sees fit and owes no duty or obligation to Staktek in this regard in any way. Samsung will, however, publicly announce the license and announce plans to put in a manufacturing line of this capacity as part of the press releases herein. Any public announcement shall have any dollar or royalty amounts redacted. Staktek may however, inform any legitimate investor or merger party the dollar or royalty terms of this Agreement under a confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement. The production line can be set-up by or for Samsung or by or for a subcontractor on Samsung’s behalf, and the licenses herein include the right of Samsung to have made Stacks of Plastic DRAM by a subcontractor as stated above and also as stated in footnote 1. The subcontractor, if used however, does not obtain any license to the Licensed Technology by virtue of this Agreement and any such manufacturing by the subcontractor shall be under the control of Samsung. Samsung gives no warranties or representations to Staktek regarding the quality of products produced; provided, however, when Staktek purchases product from Samsung, it will receive the same warranty as other purchasers. No obligation regarding the production line in paragraphs 2.c. or 2.d. will extend beyond or survive the five-year term of this license.

e. During the five-year term of this license, Samsung shall not sell either directly or through any third party proxy, any Stacked Products or “Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stacks” or “Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM” (see Section 2f(1) for definitions) as components for use in general and scientific computers such as, by way of example, mainframes, servers, work stations and desk top computers that employ an alternative technology for Stacking other than the Licensed Technology and any improvements or modifications developed, invented or owned by any party to this Agreement: That is, Samsung shall use only Staktek’s Technology (and any improvements or modifications owned by any party to this Agreement) for Stacking Stacked Products or Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stacks or Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM for sale as components for use in general and scientific computers such as, by way of example, mainframes, servers, work stations and desk top computers. During the five-year term of this license,

Staktek has provided a list of types and number of pieces of major equipment needed to open a line that would produce this amount of product if running on three eight-hour shifts each day based on hourly unit output provided to Samsung by Staktek. Staktek, however, makes no representation or warranty that the equipment list provided as Exhibit C will, if implemented achieve any particular result in either quality or quantity of Stacks or that it is fit for any particular purpose. If Samsung or its subcontractor installs a line including the items listed on Exhibit C, then Samsung will be deemed to have fulfilled its obligation to install a line under paragraphs 2.c. and 2.d. However, Samsung or its subcontractor may accept, modify or reject Staktek’s recommendations in their discretion, so long as the line installed has the capacity specified in paragraph 2.d. based on use in three eight-hour shifts each day and is set up within the time specified in paragraph 2.c.

Samsung shall not invest in any company whose principal business is to manufacture and sell Stacked Products or Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stacks or Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM for general and scientific computers (as defined in paragraphs 2e-g) using any Stacking technology other than the Staktek Technology (and any improvements or modifications developed, invented or owned by any party).6 Nothing herein limits Samsung’s rights to pursue alternative business under paragraph 2g, such as mobile, telecom, non-computer applications (which include by way of example laptop or notebook computers, cell phones, televisions or visual monitors). The only limitations on the rights of Samsung are those specifically enumerated herein. For example, there are no restrictions on Samsung in regard to RAMBUS technology or RAMBUS DRAM or RAMBUS DIMMS, or in regard to monolithic DRAM or monolithic DRAM packages or Stacked Products or Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM or Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stacks that do not meet the definitions in Section 2 herein, or in regard to SRAM, FLASH or other types of semiconductor or other types of memory products.

f. Other than as provided in Section 2.f., during the first three years of the five-year term of this license, Samsung shall not offer for sale or sell either directly or through any third-party proxy, any DRAM memory products that include “Multi-Die Plastic DRAM” (defined as two or more DRAM die encapsulated within a single plastic leaded package without regard to the arrangement of the die within the package, e.g., horizontal or vertical, for example) for use as components in general and scientific computers such as, by way of example, mainframes, servers, work stations or desk top computers for the first three years of the five-year term of this license. Nothing herein limits the rights of Samsung to use Multi-Die Plastic DRAM in other products or other applications under paragraph 2g, such as mobile, telecom or non-computer applications (which include by way of example laptop or notebook computers, cell phones, televisions or visual monitors). The only limitations on the rights of Samsung are those specifically enumerated in this Agreement. For example, there are no restrictions on Samsung in regard to either RAMBUS-related technology or RAMBUS DRAM or RAMBUS DIMMS, or monolithic DRAM or monolithic DRAM packages or Stacked Products that do not meet the definitions in Section 2 herein, or SRAM, FLASH or other types of semiconductor or other types of memory products.

(1) Notwithstanding any other provision herein and explicitly subject to and effective upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing in Section 17 of this Agreement, Staktek grants to Samsung a five-year license to make, use, sell or offer for sale, without restriction or limitation except as stated herein, “Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM” or “Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stacks” upon ***. The $*** million dollars (U.S.) of royalty prepaid shall be available for credit against future production of

6	However, Samsung is free to invest in money market, mutual funds, stock index, and other such securities without restriction.

“Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM” as set forth in ***. “Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM” or a “Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stack” is defined as two or more Multi-Die Plastic DRAMs that have been vertically placed one above the other whether touching or separated by space or separated or joined by adhesive, connectors or heat conductive material so long as the constituent Multi-Die Plastic DRAMs are structurally aggregated into a single unit having a total memory capacity approximately equal to the total memory capacity of the individual Multi-Die Plastic DRAMS in the Stack. Stacking Multi-Die Plastic DRAM or Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stacks do not include interposing between Multi-Die Plastic DRAMs, a printed circuit board large enough to carry more than one Plastic DRAM on a side. This license may be exercised by Samsung through a subcontractor under the same terms as the license to Plastic DRAM Stacking of Section 2 may be exercised by Samsung through a subcontractor (see particularly subcontractor provisions of footnote 1 and Section 2.d.) This license includes all intellectual property of Staktek directed toward the Stacking of Plastic DRAM or Stacking of Multi-Die Plastic DRAM whether acquired before or during the term of this license. Samsung will include in its reports, under Section 2n, the same information for Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM or Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stacks as for other products subject to that reporting requirement.

g. There is no restriction or limitation on Samsung making or selling any products (including “Mu1ti-Die Plastic DRAM”) except as specifically enumerated in paragraphs 2.e. and 2.f. Notwithstanding anything in paragraphs 2.e. and 2.f., there are no limits or restrictions whatsoever on sales of any products for the following applications: i) mobile applications (including, by way of example, but not limited to, laptop or notebook computers, PDA and wireless devices, etc.), ii) telecom applications (including, by way of example, but not limited to, cell phones, any other device used for telecommunications, etc.), and/or iii) non-computer devices (including, by way of example, but not limited to, digital cameras, televisions, visual monitors, audio players, voice recorders, etc.). Notwithstanding anything in paragraphs 2.e. and 2.f., there are no restrictions or limits whatsoever on sales, purchases, or transactions involving any products except for the sale of Stacked Products or Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stacks as set forth in this Agreement. While Samsung is not required to use the Licensed Technology for these markets, Samsung may, however, use Licensed Technology in these markets as long as the royalty of *** is paid.

h. Samsung is licensed only to Stack Plastic DRAMs that are manufactured by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or by a subcontractor for any of them, and are not licensed to Stack Plastic DRAMs not manufactured by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. or its subsidiaries or affiliates or for any of them by a subcontractor.

i. Neither Samsung or Staktek warrant or represent that manufacture, use or sale of Plastic DRAM Stacks or Multi-Die Plastic DRAM Stacks, according to the Staktek Technology, and any improvements or modifications thereto, does not infringe any third- party intellectual property rights. Neither Staktek or Samsung warrant or represent that any product made according to the Staktek Technology shall be fit for any particular use of Samsung or Staktek their customers and any products so manufactured shall be received by Samsung or Staktek on an AS-IS BASIS.

j. Samsung grants to Staktek an irrevocable, and except as provided herein non- transferable and non-sublicensable, fully paid up, non-exclusive royalty free license to make, have made, use, sell or import products that either incorporate or have been made by any improvements derived from the Staktek Technology that were devised or invented or owned in whole or part by Samsung for use in Stacking Plastic DRAM or Stacking Multi-Die Plastic DRAMs or the Stacked feature of the Stacked Plastic DRAM or Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM (but not in the manufacturing, operation or use of Plastic DRAM or Multi-Die Plastic DRAM itself or any other device that is not principally for Stacking or creating or manufacturing Stacks) for the term of this license and any extensions agreed to by the parties7 Further, even after this license expires, Samsung shall not ▇▇▇ Staktek on any patent used in Stacking Plastic DRAM, Stacking Multi-Die Plastic DRAM or the Stacked feature of the Stacked Plastic DRAM or Stacked Multi-Die Plastic DRAM (but not in the manufacturing, operation or use of Plastic DRAM or Multi-Die Plastic DRAM itself or any other device that is not principally for Stacking or creating or manufacturing Stacks) so long as Staktek (or any assignee or successor of Staktek) does not ▇▇▇ Samsung or any subsidiary or affiliate of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. During the 5-year term of the license, SEC shall allow Staktek to purchase mechanical or functional samples of any newly developed Plastic DRAMs at Staktek’s expense within 30 days of shipment of more than 100 such units in the aggregate whether to one or more recipients world-wide. Failure to timely sell or ship samples is not a material breach of the Agreement so long as samples are shipped within 60 days of a request by Staktek.

k. By this Agreement, Samsung acquires no ownership right, title or any security interest in the Staktek Technology and Staktek acquires no ownership right, title or security interest in any Samsung technology. Provided, however, that after this license expires each party shall be free to use the technology, information, know-how, and processes related to the Licensed Technology that is not protected by a U.S. or foreign patent.

l. So long as Staktek or its assignees do not ▇▇▇ Samsung or SEC’s subsidiaries or affiliates over alleged infringement of patents, Samsung agrees to not challenge the validity of any Staktek patent nor institute or participate in any

This license is sub-licensable to Staktek affiliates or subsidiaries, and transferable to a company that later acquires all or substantially all of the business or stock of Staktek; provided, however, Staktek is licensed to have a subcontractor practice the technology under the same terms and restrictions placed on Samsung’s subcontractor herein.

reexamination proceedings as to any Staktek patent and further agree to not provide any prior art to any challenger to any Staktek patent, except as required by subpoena brought under rules of court or law where such a proceeding may be pending.

m. Samsung and Staktek agree to keep confidential any proprietary or trade secret information received from the other clearly labeled as “confidential-trade secret” or where similar legend or notice is given at the time it is received. Samsung and Staktek shall each treat such information with the same degree of care used for their own trade secrets. Provided, however, there shall be no duty of confidentiality, or restriction on use or disclosure, or responsibility or liability for, any information that is no longer secret (whether due to disclosure through an issued patent, laid-open application, speech, article, presentation, or otherwise). The parties shall clearly and prominently label any confidential or trade secret information at the time it is provided to the other. The parties, however, can share such confidential information with customers under a nondisclosure agreement consistent with policies applicable to their own confidential information.

n. During the five-year term of the license and any applicable extensions, on a quarterly basis, for all deliveries on purchase orders for Plastic DRAM Stacks or a DIMM incorporating Stacked Plastic DRAMS or Plastic DRAM Stacks, Samsung shall give Staktek a notice that shall include the number of Plastic DRAM Stacks shipped (but not other product information, pricing or terms) and the name and contact information of the recipient of each shipment and the total number of units shipped. (If recipient objects in writing to disclosure of an individual person’s name and contact information, then only corporate name will be used.) If the shipment is of replacement units, the notice shall include “Replacement Documentation” which shall mean the return material authorization (“RMA”) associated with the returned units. This will allow Staktek to audit compliance with the royalties due under the Agreement. There shall be, however, no sharing of information on pricing or terms by any party and Staktek may not inquire or discuss Samsung’s terms or pricing with any such purchaser.

3. Notice to Customers: Samsung shall send a copy of the press release announcing this agreement to each purchaser of a Plastic DRAM stack populated-DIMM from either Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. or Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries since January of 1998 informing them that Staktek is Samsung’s stacking technology of choice, that Samsung has taken a license to Staktek’s Technology, that DIMMs from Samsung include Staktek’s Technology, and directing them to contact Staktek if they choose to do so (providing designated contact information). Samsung shall make an explicit endorsement of Staktek quality and electrical and thermal performance in the press release in form and language acceptable to Samsung. Staktek shall be given a list of all persons to whom the press release was sent, but inadvertent omission or mistake is not a breach of this contract. There shall be no sharing, inquiry or discussion by any party of pricing or terms of any past or pending purchase order.

4. Cancellation of the November 1997 Agreement: Upon but not until, execution of the releases of paragraph 13, the November 1997 Agreement between the parties shall be cancelled, all rights, duties and obligations connected thereto or arising thereunder shall be deemed void, except for the dismissal with prejudice of the prior lawsuit that is referred to in that Agreement.

5. Merger and Integration Clause — Complete Agreement of the Parties: This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements (as defined below) contains a complete description of the terms of agreement between the parties, and neither party may rely on any statement not expressly agreed to herein or therein. There are no other terms, promises, commitments or representations outside of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. No party may rely on any statement in any press release in interpreting this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements. No press release is part of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements and no press release creates any duty, obligation, promise, representation or commitment by any party. No press release can be used to vary or contradict or interpret the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements. (For the purpose of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, “press release” includes all statements to the public, whether in a written press release or otherwise). This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements can only be modified in writing signed by all parties. If any section or paragraph of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or void, all other sections or paragraphs of this Agreement shall remain enforceable and shall not be deemed void.

6. Any Agreements of Any Kind Must Be in Writing and Signed: Any and all agreements between these parties must be in writing whether related to this Agreement or not. No agreement, promise, representation or commitment shall be enforced or binding or may be relied upon in any way unless evidenced by a writing signed by the party against whom it will be enforced.

7. Arms-Length Dealing: There is no agency, fiduciary or special relationship among the parties, and no such relationship shall ever be established unless expressly agreed to in writing signed by both parties. This is an arms-length transaction between sophisticated parties represented by counsel; no party is relying on any information or expertise of any other party or relying on any other party to provide information or data of any kind in entering into this Agreement, except as expressly stated herein. There are no representations or warranties except as expressly recited and agreed to herein. No representations or omissions may be relied upon by any party other than those recited herein. There are no limits on any party’s business except as expressly recited and agreed to herein. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, each

party is free to sell its products to any customer and shall have no liability other than the royalty for production set out in *** for selling products to customers or supporting such sales. The parties can and shall compete with each other in the markets for memory products and technology.

8. Notice and Cure: Prior to filing any suit for breach of the license or other provisions of this Agreement, the offended party must give sixty (60) days written notice to the breaching party and an opportunity to cure the alleged breach. If the alleged breach is cured, no suit may be filed.

9. Freedom to Advertise and Promote: Each party is free to communicate with their customers about their own products, process, capacity, delivery, and production, and no such statement or communication about a party’s own products, process, capacity, delivery or production can be the basis for a claim of libel, slander, product disparagement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act violation, unfair competition, or any other cause of action. In addition, each party is free to promote its products, capacity and processes as “better” or “superior” or otherwise preferable to that of any other manufacturer or seller, including the other party, and such promotion shall not be used basis for a claim of libel, slander, product disparagement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act violation, unfair competition, or any other cause of action so long as no statement of objective fact about the other party or its products, technology or processes is made that the speaker knows is false and misleading.

10. Freedom to Set Terms: SSI is free to impose on Staktek appropriate credit limits, product purchase terms, payment terms, delivery terms and other terms consistent with other customers of like size and credit history for purchases of similar amounts, except as expressly recited herein. Terms set by SSI will not apply to transactions directly between Staktek and SEC for “Exchange Sales”8 of Plastic DRAMs or stacked Plastic DRAMs, and any such “Exchange Sales” will not apply to any credit limit set by SSI. Other than Exchange Sales, Staktek will not be permitted to purchase product from SEC except on such terms as SEC may set in its discretion.

11. Limitation on Liability: Following exchange of releases, no claim, whether arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements or otherwise, shall be alleged or raised between the parties for money damages in the absence of a direct, tangible, provable, actual loss or injury that is susceptible to mathematical calculation. No party may at any time bring a claim, whether arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements or otherwise against the other party for loss of value to the corporation or for other damages not directly and immediately resulting from the acts of the accused party.

12. Notices: Written notices under this Agreement shall be sent to:

20. Confidentiality of Shareholder Information: Samsung has received, on a confidential basis, and will receive, information concerning the identity and contact information of Staktek’s shareholders and option holders. Samsung agrees that it will maintain such information in strictest confidence, that it will not use such information for any purpose other than to perform this Agreement, and that it will not make any communication to shareholders or option holders of Staktek, except through the tender offer process set forth in this agreement.

21. Indemnification: Staktek agrees to indemnify Samsung, its officers and directors and each person or entity who controls Samsung (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (each, an “Indemnified Person”) against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims and expenses (“Damages”) caused by or arising out of (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Staktek Information included in the Tender Offer Documents or any supplement thereto or modification thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary to make the statements in the Staktek Information included in the Tender Offer Documents or any supplement thereto or modification thereof, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (iii) any breach or alleged breach by Staktek of the covenant set forth in the second sentence in Section l(e) of this Agreement, or (iv) the acceptance by Staktek of any Lost Certificate Affidavit from any Offeree; provided, however, that no indemnification for Damages arising out of or caused by the circumstances set forth in clause (i) or clause (ii) above shall be available hereunder unless such Damages were caused by or arose out of a claim against the Indemnified Person by a person or entity other than another Indemnified Person.

In addition, so long as the Indemnified Persons comply with the procedures set forth below, Staktek shall reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such claim. Any Indemnified Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to Staktek of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that delay in giving prompt notice shall not impair any Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced Staktek) and (ii) unless in such Indemnified Person’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Person and Staktek may exist with respect to such claim, permit Staktek to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. If such defense is assumed, Staktek shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the Indemnified Person without Staktek’s consent and Staktek shall not settle any such claim without the Indemnified Person’s consent unless the settlement involves no undertaking by the Indemnified Person other than the payment of monetary damages and Staktek pays such damages at the time of such settlement. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Persons. If the indemnification provided for herein is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Person with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, then Staktek, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Staktek on the one hand and of the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

22. Representations and Warranties of Staktek: Staktek represents and warrants to Samsung that:

(b) The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Staktek are in the form previously provided to special counsel to Samsung.

(i) 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of which 1,763,795 shares are issued and outstanding and 4,895,857 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share of which none are outstanding. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and all of the Purchased Shares will be, duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and were, or will be, issued in accordance with the registration or qualification provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and any relevant state securities laws or pursuant to valid exemptions therefrom.

(iii) Except for the Current Voting Agreement, a true and correct copy of which previously has been provided to special counsel of Samsung, and the Voting Trust Agreement contemplated hereby, Staktek is not a party or subject to any agreement or understanding, and, to the best of Staktek’s knowledge, there is no agreement or understanding between any persons and/or entities which affects or relates to the voting or giving of written consents with respect to any security or by a director of Staktek. Samsung acknowledges that the Current Voting Agreement will cover the Purchased Shares. The Current Voting Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms effective upon the closing of an initial public offering by Staktek of its equity securities.

(d) Staktek does not presently own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, association, or other business entity. Staktek is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership, or similar arrangement.

(e) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of Staktek hereunder have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of Staktek, and this Agreement constitutes, and each of the other agreements contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the mutual release described in paragraph 13 (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”), when executed and delivered by Staktek, will constitute, valid and legally binding obligations of Staktek, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

(f) To Staktek’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any United States federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of Staktek is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.

(g) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or currently threatened against Staktek that questions the validity of the Transaction Agreements or the right of Staktek to enter into the Transaction Agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse changes in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of Staktek, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of Staktek, nor is Staktek aware that there is any basis for the foregoing. Staktek is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by Staktek currently pending or that Staktek intends to initiate.

(h) Staktek is not in violation or default of any provision of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree and is not in material violation or material default of any contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound or of any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to Staktek. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of Staktek or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to Staktek, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

(i) Staktek owns its property and assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans and encumbrances, except such encumbrances and liens that are of record or have been granted or will arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair its ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the property and assets it leases, Staktek is in compliance with such leases and holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances.

(j) Staktek has delivered to Samsung its audited consolidated financial statements (balance sheet and profit and loss statement) for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and with each other. The Financial Statements fairly present the financial condition and operating results of Staktek as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, Staktek had, at the dates specified therein, no material liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than liabilities or obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of Staktek. Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements, Staktek is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation. Staktek will maintain and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Staktek has advised Samsung that there have been changes during the first quarter of 2000 to Staktek’s revenues and income since December 31, 1999. Staktek has also provided Samsung information other than the information described in this Agreement pertaining to Staktek’s financial conditions and prospects. SAMSUNG HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY INTENTION TO RELY UPON ANY SUCH OTHER INFORMATION AND STAKTEK MAKES NO, AND DISCLAIMS ANY, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY CONCERNING THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF SUCH OTHER INFORMATION.

23. Representations and Warranties of Samsung: Samsung hereby represents and warrants to Staktek:

(a) SEC and SSI are corporations duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of their formation and have all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on their business as now conducted. Each of SEC and SSI is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.

(b) All corporate action on the part of Samsung, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements, the performance of all obligations of Samsung hereunder, has been taken, and the Transaction Agreements constitute valid and legally binding obligations of SEC, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

(c) Except for the approval of the Government of the Republic of Korea to the payment of the royalty (which Samsung reasonably expects to obtain by June 5, 2000) and the payment of the purchase price for Staktek Shares tendered for purchase pursuant to the Samsung Tender Offer (which Samsung reasonably expects to obtain by July 28, 2000), to Samsung’s knowledge after due inquiry, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with. any Korean or United States federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of Samsung is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be a valid original, by their duly authorized representatives.

UNTIL EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY THE DULY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PARTIES THIS DOCUMENT HAS NO LEGAL EFFECT FOR ANY PURPOSE.

Agent shall be responsible for holding, investing, reinvesting and disbursing the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Agent be liable for any lost profits, lost savings or other special, exemplary, consequential or incidental damages in excess of Agent’s fee hereunder and provided, further, that Agent shall have no liability for any loss arising from any cause beyond its control, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) acts of God, force majeure, including, without limitation, war (whether or not declared or existing), revolution, insurrection, riot, civil commotion, accident, fire, explosion, stoppage of labor, strikes and other differences with employees; (b) the act, failure or neglect of any other party or any agent or correspondent or any other person selected by Agent; (c) any delay, error, omission or default of any mail, courier, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator; or (d) the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising governmental powers. The Agent is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of the subject matter of this Agreement or any part hereof or for the transaction or transactions requiring or underlying the execution of this Agreement, the form or execution hereof or for the identity or authority of any person executing this Agreement or any part hereof or depositing the Deposit.

9. Right of Interpleader. Should any controversy arise involving Samsung, Staktek and the Agent or any other person, firm or entity with respect to this Agreement or the Deposit, or should a substitute the Agent fail to be designated as provided in Section 16 hereof, or if the Agent should be in doubt as to what action to take, the Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, either to (a) withhold disbursement of the Deposit until the controversy is resolved, the conflicting demands are withdrawn or its doubt is resolved or (b) institute a petition for interpleader in any .court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the parties hereto. In the event the Agent is a party to any dispute, the Agent shall have the additional right to refer such controversy to binding arbitration. Should a petition for interpleader be instituted, or should the Agent be threatened with litigation or become involved in litigation or binding arbitration in any manner whatsoever in connection with this Agreement or the Deposit, Staktek and Samsung hereby agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Agent for its attorneys’ fees and any and all other expenses, losses, costs and damages incurred by the Agent in connection with or resulting from such threatened or actual litigation or arbitration prior to any disbursement hereunder. Each of Staktek and Samsung agree to contribute half of the funds necessary to comply with the reimbursement obligation of this Section 9.

10. Indemnification. Staktek and Samsung, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify the Agent, its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents (each herein called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs, losses, costs, damages and claims, including, but not limited to, costs of investigation, litigation and arbitration, tax liability and loss on investments suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with or arising from or out of this Agreement, except such acts or omissions as may result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. Each of Staktek and Samsung agree to contribute half of the funds necessary to comply with the indemnification obligation of this Section 10.

11. Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses. Samsung hereby agrees to pay the Agent for its services hereunder in accordance with the Agent’s fee schedule attached hereto as Schedule A and to pay all expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder and otherwise in connection with the preparation, operation and administration of this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, brokerage costs and related expenses incurred by the Agent. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, Staktek shall reimburse the Agent for its cost of mailing the Tender Offer Documentation to the Offerees.

12. Funds Transfer. In the event funds transfer instructions are given by Tendering Shareholders, whether in writing, by telefax, or otherwise, the Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the persons set forth in a schedule to be prepared by Staktek and delivered to the Agent, and the Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by the Agent. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that such security procedure is commercially reasonable.

It is understood that the Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying number provided by the Tendering Shareholders, as furnished to the Agent by Staktek, to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the

beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Agent may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even where its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank, designated.

13. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement by any party hereto to any other party hereto shall be considered as properly given if in writing and (a) delivered against receipt therefor, (b) mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid or (c) sent by telefax machine, in each case to the address or telefax number, as the case may be, set forth below:

18. Severability. If one or more of the provisions hereof shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, and the remaining provisions hereof shall be given full force and effect.

19. Amendment and Termination. This Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of Staktek, Samsung and the Agent. This Agreement shall terminate upon the disbursement of the Deposit in full in accordance with the terms hereof; provided. however, that in the event all fees, expenses, costs and other amounts required to be paid to the Agent hereunder are not fully and finally paid prior to termination, the provisions of Sections 11 hereof shall survive the termination hereof and, provided further, that the last sentence of Section 9 hereof and the provisions of Section 10 hereof shall, in any event, survive the termination hereof.
