(iv) [****] percent ([****]%) of Net Sales for products based upon Specific Results or Background Know-How of any Development Project and sold to, transferred to or consumed by any third party who is licensed by IBM to Specific Results or Background Know-How of the same Development Project wherein such license does not include the right to manufacture products using such Specific Results or Background Know-How, plus;

(v) [****] percent ([****]%) of Net Sales for products sold to, transferred to or consumed by any other third party.

EXECUTION VERSION

The percentage values stated above in 5(b)(i) through (v) will prospectively change to [****], [****], [****], [****], and [****] percent, respectively, should Company merge with or acquire (including reverse merger or reverse acquisition) [****] (“[****]”) while [****] is a Participating Party in a major node IBM Development Project or within nine (9) months after [****] ceases to be a Participating Party in a major node IBM Development Project.

For avoidance of doubt each product consumed by, sold to or transferred to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. or any third party shall fall under only one revenue category under subsections 5.(b)(i) through (v) above for purposes of calculating Revenue Based Fees.

Company’s quarterly Revenue Based Fees shall be one quarter of the amount indicated above. For avoidance of doubt, the establishment of a half-node process technology Development Project(s) and Company’s participation in such project(s) will not increase Company’s fee schedule.

Company’s total yearly Revenue Based Fees in any given year shall not exceed two (2) times the corresponding yearly amount of Company’s Baseline Fees indicated above. Should Company merge with or acquire (including reverse merger or reverse acquisition) [****] (“[****]”) then Company’s total yearly Revenue Based Fees in that year and any subsequent year shall not exceed three (3) times the corresponding yearly amount of Company’s Baseline Fees indicated above.

To the extent it has the right to do so, which right IBM will make a good faith effort to obtain, IBM shall promptly notify Company after it enters into, or terminates or alters, any relevant licensing arrangement affecting the appropriate categorization of transfers above which would allow Company to correctly calculate Revenue Based Fees under subsections (iii) and (iv) above. Company shall not be liable for any underpayments which result from IBM’s failure to provide such notification. No later than March 31 of each calendar year, Company shall provide to IBM a written statement containing Company’s Net Sales during the preceding fiscal year in each of the above categories, the calculated percentages according to the above and the total amount of Revenue Based Fees. Company shall maintain a complete, clear and accurate record of the quantity of products sold or otherwise transferred or consumed and any other relevant information to the extent it is required to determine whether they are reporting the correct Revenue Based Fees hereunder. To ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, IBM shall have the right to audit all relevant accounting, technical and sales books and records of Company. The audit will be conducted by a mutually acceptable audit firm, and shall be conducted following reasonable prior written notice (at least forty-five (45) days in advance) during regular business hours at an office where such records are normally maintained and in such a manner as not to interfere with Company’s normal business activities and shall be restricted only to those records necessary to verify Company’s obligations hereunder. The audit report provided to IBM may only include

EXECUTION VERSION

the information necessary to determine whether or not any underpayment or overpayment exists, and if it exists, the amount of such underpayment or overpayment. IBM shall instruct the auditor to include only business information in the audit report to IBM. IBM shall use the business information reported by the auditor only for the purpose of determining royalty payments and for no other purpose. In no event shall audits be made hereunder more frequently than once in every twelve (12) months and the audit shall not cover any records from a period of time previously audited. If any audit should disclose any underpayment or overpayment, the owing Party shall within forty-five (45) days pay the difference. The cost of such audit will be borne by IBM. Company shall be provided with a copy of the audit report within a reasonable period of time after its completion. The independent audit firm shall not be hired on a contingent fee basis and Company shall have the right to require such audit firm to sign a confidentiality agreement sufficient to protect Company’s confidential information.

(c) Company shall be liable for interest on any overdue payment under this Agreement commencing on the date such payment becomes due at an annual rate equal to eighteen percent (18%) per year. If such interest rate exceeds the maximum legal rate in the jurisdiction where a claim therefor is being asserted, the interest rate shall be reduced to such maximum legal rate.

(d) IBM shall apply the payments of this Section 5 towards Development Project costs and not for any license rights granted by any Party to any other Party for Background Know-How.

(e) In consideration for the licenses granted to Company to Background Know-How of the 32nm Bulk Industry Standard Semiconductor Process Technology and 32nm Bulk-Industry Standard Enablement Technology Development Projects, Company shall pay to IBM [****] dollars ($[****]) according to the following schedule: $[****] on or before September 30, 2008; $[****] on or before December 30, 2008, $[****] on or before January 15, 2009; $[****] on or before April 15, 2009 and $[****] on or before July 15, 2009; which obligation shall be irrevocable and which payment when made shall be non-refundable. The first two payments under this section will be due and payable on the respective dates specified with this Agreement serving as the invoice. All subsequent payments shall be made within forty-five (45) days after receipt by Company of a quarterly invoice from IBM; however, in no case will Company be required to payment before the dates specified above.

(f) Each Party shall bear and pay all taxes (including, without limitation, sales and value added taxes) imposed upon it by the national government or political subdivision thereof, of any country in which they are doing business as a result of the existence of this Agreement or the exercise of its rights hereunder. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall be entitled to any payment, cost reimbursement, or other compensation from the other for services, deliverables and rights granted to the other Party hereunder. Each Party shall bear all its own expenses incurred in the performance of this Agreement. All payments due hereunder shall be paid in United States dollars.

IBM hereby grants to Company the right to disclose and sublicense Background Know-How and Specific Results of any Development Project (excluding High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information) subject to the following requirements. Company may sublicense no more than two (2) JMPs for a maximum of a total of two (2) joint manufacturing facilities with a combined maximum capacity of producing [****] 300 mm wafers per month for such technology consumed by, or supplied to the JMPs. Said combined maximum volume amount for a specific technology will apply until the confidentiality period for that specific technology expires. Company must own greater than fifty percent (50%) interest (defined in the same manner as for Subsidiary) in the joint manufacturing facility and the JMP own the remaining interest except for any interest owned by a government entity or institutional investor (“Inactive Owners”). The Inactive Owners shall not be in the business of manufacturing Integrated Circuits and will not be granted access to any Key Information. Company and the JMP will provide day-to-day control and decision making authority as to the manufacturing operations of their joint manufacturing facility. The JMP will derive no more than fifty percent (50%) of its total revenue from foundry related business. The JMP will not be based in Asia (which for purposes of this Section 7(a) Asia does not include Japan, Korea or Singapore). The JMP will not have the right to use the licensed technology to provide foundry services. The JMP will not have the right to use the licensed technology other than in the joint manufacturing facility. The JMP will not be any party who contracts with IBM to conduct joint development of semiconductor process technology any sooner than 18 months after the later termination of either the IBM joint development or joint manufacturing partner relationship between IBM and such aforementioned company. The joint manufacturing facility will not be located in Asia. Notwithstanding the foregoing, [****] may be a JMP.

If Company builds or has built a manufacturing facility for the purpose of exercising Company’s rights and performing Company’s obligations under the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 7(a) and Company and a first or second JMP cannot utilize all of the combined maximum capacity of [****] 300 mm wafers per month, then six (6) months prior to start of installation of any process technology for volume production for any unutilized combined maximum capacity, and yearly thereafter for any uncontracted, unutilized combined maximum capacity, Company will so notify IBM in writing, and IBM will have the right of first refusal of the unutilized combined maximum capacity at a price to IBM of the then current average market price for such wafers less twenty percent (20%), but in no event will such price to IBM be greater than that offered by Company to its most favored customer under substantially similar terms and conditions. For the capacity that IBM refuses, Company may sell foundry wafers

EXECUTION VERSION

including Foundry Products subject to this Section 7(a) to Third Parties (other than those that are not permitted to be a JMP) provided that: (i) all such sales are made more than two (2) years after the applicable L2 for the technology in which such wafers are manufactured and (ii) all such sales shall be included in the calculation of Revenue Based Fees under Section 5(b). The foregoing notification obligation will cease when the confidentiality obligation for a technology expires.

(b) Have-Made Rights.

The license granted to Company in Section 8.1 of the Master Terms shall include the right for Company to utilize one or more aspects of Industry Standard Information for the development and qualification of its own, proprietary derivative process(es) (“Derivative Process(es)”) and for developing, engineering, manufacturing, using, marketing, selling, servicing and otherwise disposing of Integrated Circuits utilizing such Derivative Process(es), other than Integrated Circuits created using High Performance Information, such Integrated Circuits being designed by any party. It is expressly confirmed that such license shall include the right for Company to develop Derivative Process(es).

EXECUTION VERSION

The IBM Project Leader and the Company Project Leader shall mutually agree on a documented list of elements of the Specific Results and Background Know-How thereof that may not be utilized in a Derivative Process (“Protected High Performance Information”). The following criteria will be seriously considered when defining elements included as Protected High Performance Information:

•

such elements do not include Background Know-How or Specific Results of any Industry Standard Development Project to the extent, and only to the extent, included in such Development Project,

•

in the reasonable belief of the IBM and Company Representatives such elements are not being targeted for or included in the applicable technology node of other Foundry Companies,

•

such elements are not reported in the literature in sufficient detail that they can be implemented based upon reported results and methods, combined with “residuals” (as defined in Section 9.1 of the Master Terms) and limited experimental development, and

•

such elements do not include BEOL or Lithography steps.

The IBM and Company Management Committee Members shall attempt to agree upon a designation of Protected High Performance Information no later than ninety (90) days after the T0 exit checkpoint for the applicable Development Project.

If significant elements of high performance Specific Results or Background Know-How become available at any time after the initial designation of Protected High Performance Information and before the T1 exit (“T1” date) of the applicable high performance Development Project, the IBM Project Leader may provide additional such elements for designation as Protected High Performance Information and shall consult with the Company Project Leader, who shall provide his input as to the applicability of such elements for designation as Protected High Performance Information. The IBM and Company Management Committee Members shall mutually agree upon the designation of such elements within ninety (90) days. Such elements shall be treated as Protected High Performance Information until mutually agreed upon by IBM and Company.

Any elements of Specific Results or Background Know-How that are or that become Industry Standard Information for a given Development Project shall automatically be included as Industry Standard Information in preceding (larger node) Development Projects and shall not be treated as Protected High Performance Information for such preceding Development Project(s).

In addition to the process described above in this Section 7(f) the documented list may be updated from time to time by written mutual agreement of the Management Committee Members of IBM and Company.

EXECUTION VERSION

If the Project Leaders fail to agree on the designation or removal of elements of high performance Specific Results or Background Know-How as Protected High Performance Information, the decision will be escalated to the Management Committee Members of IBM and Company, and if necessary to the Designated Executives, for resolution. If upon such escalation the Designated Executives are unable to agree on the designation or removal of such elements as Protected High Performance Information, IBM shall make the final determination.

(g) If Company exercises its right to assign this Participation Agreement as provided in Section 8, Company will have the additional right to disclose the following portions of Specific Results and/or Background Know-How from high performance Development Projects to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (the “AMD Group”) for the purpose of providing the AMD Group with Foundry Product:

Descriptions of manufacturing process flow (excluding detailed process information that could enable a party to engage in installation of unit process modules) as reasonably necessary for AMD Group to work with Company in the development of DFM techniques and structures, and to assess layout considerations, electrical performance, reliability, yield, cost, risk and/or schedule; and

Detailed information relating to processes used for FET, only to the extent necessary to support device level simulation for the purpose of modeling the electrical behavior of such devices.

(h) If Company exercises its right to assign this Participation Agreement as provided in Section 8, Company and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., and its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries will have the additional right to disclose the following portions of Specific Results and/or Background Know-How to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.’s customers for the purpose of exercising Company’s rights under this Agreement:

•

(i) Disclosures made pursuant to Sections 7(g) and 7(h), above, shall be subject to all the confidentiality terms and conditions of Section 4(c) of the relevant Project Agreement(s) and, in addition, in the case of the Joint Development Project Agreement for Pre-T0 Semiconductor Technology Research, Section 4(d).

8. Assignment. No Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without prior written permission from the other Party. Any attempted such assignment or delegation without such permission shall be null and void. If IBM reorganizes its business so as to set up a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that shall include the entire business and assets responsible for such IBM’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, then Company agrees that the permission to assign and

EXECUTION VERSION

delegate to such Wholly Owned Subsidiary shall not be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, IBM may assign its right to receive payments under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company reorganizes its business so as to set up a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or new legal entity that shall include substantially its entire business and assets related to manufacturing of semiconductor wafers, or if Company’s entire business and assets related to manufacturing of semiconductor wafers is acquired by a Third Party, then Company may assign all of its rights and delegate all of its obligations under this Agreement without prior permission of IBM to such Wholly Owned Subsidiary, new legal entity or acquiring Third Party. For avoidance of doubt, such an assignment by Company will not be deemed a Change of Control under this Participation Agreement.

9. Termination. In addition to Section 12 of the Master Terms, the following termination terms and conditions apply as between IBM and Company:

(a) The following Sections of this Participation Agreement survive and continue to bind IBM and Company and their legal representatives, successors and assigns after the expiration of this Participation Agreement: 1, 2 (only to the extent necessary for the validity of the surviving terms), 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14; provided, however, a Company’s surviving license and disclosure rights pursuant to Section 7 only apply to the information as it existed at the end of its participation in the applicable Development Project. In addition, certain provisions of the Master Terms and Project Agreement survive, as detailed in each agreement, respectively. For clarity, the expiration of this Participation Agreement does not, in and of itself, affect the SPDA.

(b) Either Party shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement as to a breaching Party (as defined herein in 1), 2), 3) or 4) below) by giving written notice of termination to the other Party if the other Party (the “breaching Party”) 1) becomes insolvent or permanently ceases doing business; 2) is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or files a petition for bankruptcy; 3) goes into liquidation; or 4) undergoes a Change of Control.

A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) there shall be consummated (i) any consolidation or merger of a Party in which such Party is not the continuing or surviving entity, or pursuant to which shares of such Party’s equity securities would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a consolidation or merger of such Party in which the holders of such Party’s equity securities immediately prior to the merger have substantially the same proportionate ownership of equity securities of the surviving entity immediately after the merger, or (ii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all the assets of such Party; (b) the equity holders of a Party shall approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of such Party, or (c) any person (as such term is used in section 13(d) and 14(d) (2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act”) other than a Party or any employee benefit plans sponsored by such Party, shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of
