 II. Licensee Rights 
 A. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Licensee’s compliance with the provisions hereof including all
Attachments hereto, and Licensee’s payment of the fees and royalties stated herein in Paragraph III, Tessera hereby grants Licensee a world-wide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited license to the Tessera Patents to
make, have made, use, sell, import, and offer for sale Licensed Products that are sold as Licensee’s own products (i.e., the Licensed Products bear the Licensee’s commercial indicia). 
 1. Have Made Rights and Royalties. If Licensee exercises its “have made” right hereunder, Licensee shall be responsible for the payment
of all royalties due hereunder directly to Tessera for such assembly of Licensed Products regardless of whether or not the assembler of the Licensed Product is a Licensed Package Assembler. Nothing in this Paragraph II.A.1 shall prevent Licensee
from agreeing with a Licensed Package Assembler that the Licensed Package Assembler shall report and pay royalties to Tessera under its license for all Licensed Products made for Licensee provided, however, that if such Licensed Package Assembler
fails to report and pay such royalties, Licensee shall pay the unpaid royalties under this Agreement promptly upon notice by Tessera. Licensee shall have no obligation to pay an additional royalty under this agreement for products on which a
Licensed Package Assembler has already paid a full royalty under its agreement with Tessera. Any such agreement reached between Licensee and a Licensed Package Assembler shall require such Licensed Package Assembler to clearly identify Licensed
Products made for Licensee in reports to Tessera, and Tessera shall be given notice of such agreement. 
 2. Notice to Assemblers.
When Licensee exercises this “have made” right at a Package Assembler, it shall provide a written notice to such Licensed Package Assembler, with a copy to Tessera, substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment D. 

B. Batch Technology Excluded. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Batch Technology is excluded from the scope of this Agreement,
and Licensee’s rights herein expressly 
  

 Page 3 of 11 








 exclude any right to package and/or assemble, or sell any product made using Batch Technology. Accordingly, products made
using Batch Technology are not Licensed Products under this Agreement, and no royalties are due under this Agreement for products made using Batch Technology. 
 C. No Implied License. Except for the licenses expressly granted in Paragraph II.A, no license, express or implied, by estoppel or otherwise, to any of Tessera’s intellectual property rights is granted or
implied by this Agreement. 
 D. Exclusion from License. Licensee is licensed only for Licensed Products for which it pays royalties
hereunder. Tessera may, at any time during the term hereof, notify Licensee that Tessera believes that a product made, used, sold, imported, or offered for sale by Licensee (“Notified Product”) is a Licensed Product. During a sixty
(60) day period after such notice, the parties will engage in good faith negotiations to include the Notified Product hereunder as Licensed Product, but neither party will commence any litigation or administrative proceedings relating to the
Notified Product until after the end of the sixty (60) day period. If the parties fail to agree on including the Notified Product as a Licensed Product during such period, the Notified Product will not be licensed hereunder and either party may
commence litigation or administrative proceedings upon the expiration of the sixty (60) day period. 
 III. Royalty and Other
Consideration 
 A. Other Consideration. As partial consideration for the license under this Agreement, Licensee shall pay to
Tessera the sum of Forty Million US Dollars ($40,000,000) by August 18, 2006. 
 B. Royalty. As further consideration Licensee
shall pay running royalties for the license granted under this Agreement four times annually (as set forth in Paragraph V) to Tessera during the term of this Agreement, as follows: 
 1. DRAM Licensed Products. For each DRAM Licensed Product sold by Licensee, Licensee shall pay a royalty as set forth in Attachment B. 

2. Non-DRAM Licensed Products. For each Non-DRAM Licensed Product sold by Licensee, Licensee shall pay a royalty as set forth in Attachment B.

 3. Multiple Substrate Licensed Products. In the case of a Multiple Substrate Licensed Product, royalties due under this Paragraph
III.B shall be calculated separately for each Package Stack Unit of a Package Stack based on whether the Package Stack Unit solely contains DRAM or includes other types of ICs. For example, the royalty due for a Package Stack Unit that contains
solely DRAM shall be determined according to Paragraph III.B.1 per Package Stack Unit, the royalty due for a Package Stack Unit that contains an IC that is not DRAM shall be determined according to Paragraph III.B.2 per Package Stack Unit, such that
the total royalty due for a Multiple Substrate Licensed Product shall be calculated by adding together the royalty determined for each Package Stack Unit.

 C. Royalty Adjustments. In making the royalty payments due Tessera, Licensee may subtract from
such royalty payments any preceding royalty payments for royalty bearing Licensed Products that are returned to Licensee from Licensee’s customers (“Royalty Adjustment”). However, if at any time such returned Licensed Products are
resold by Licensee, Licensee shall pay a royalty to Tessera for such resold Licensed Products, as set forth in the Agreement. Before a Royalty Adjustment can be so subtracted, Licensee must have originally paid a royalty on the particular returned
Licensed Product. All Royalty Adjustments must be specified with the information set forth in Attachment C. 
 IV. Taxes 

Any taxes due to the German government relating to payments made by Licensee to Tessera pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by Licensee and
deducted from the amount payable from Licensee to Tessera. Licensee shall obtain official tax receipts from the German government indicating payment of such taxes and submit such receipts to Tessera to enable Tessera to obtain applicable tax
credits. Licensee shall cooperate reasonably with Tessera, and offer such assistance as it reasonably can, in order to ensure that Tessera receives the most favorable tax treatment with respect to the payments detailed herein. 
 V. Licensee Reports and Payment 
 A.
Quarterly Royalty Reports & Payment. Beginning on the Effective Date of this Agreement, royalties shall be calculated and paid in full in quarter annual payment periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30
and December 31 of each year. Beginning with the first such royalty payment, Licensee shall deliver a written report (as shown in Attachment C) describing (i) the basis upon which and containing the information sufficient to determine the
royalties due Tessera for the applicable payment period and (ii) the purchases by Licensee of Licensed Products from other Tessera licensees. All payments under this Paragraph shall be made in US Dollars by wire transfer to Union Bank of
California, 99 Almaden Blvd., San Jose, CA 95113, Account Name: Tessera, Account No.: 6450148359, Routing No. 122000496, International Swift Code: BOFCUS33MPK, or such other bank or account as Tessera may from time to time designate in writing.
The payments of royalties and submission of such reports from Licensee to Tessera under this Paragraph shall be made within thirty (30) days from the end of each quarter annual payment period and shall be considered to be made as of the day on
which such payments are received in Tessera’s designated bank account.

 VI. Licensee Patents 
 A. Limited Rights Under Licensee’s Patents. Licensee hereby grants to Tessera a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, right under Licensee’s Patents for the
term of this Agreement to make, use and sell Licensed Products (subject to the Batch Technology exclusion of Paragraph II.B) for the purposes of internal research and development, customer funded research and development, and in support of
Tessera’s engineering services business. For the sake of clarity, the license granted to Tessera in this Section VI.A is limited to the IC package and interconnect of the Licensed Product, alone or in combination with an IC, and does not
include, for example, the functional circuitry on the die or semiconductor process technology used in the formation of the functional circuitry on the IC (hereafter “Qimonda License Scope”). If Licensee elects to extend the term of this
Agreement to obtain a paid-up license, then the license set forth in this Paragraph VI.A shall also become a fully paid-up and perpetual. Furthermore, to the extent that Licensee believes a third party is directly infringing Licensee’s patents
within the Qimonda License Scope, Licensee agrees to pursue its claims directly with such third party and not with Tessera unless Tessera first asserts a Tessera Patent against Licensee that would require an additional royalty for Licensed Products
made under this Agreement. 
 VII. This section intentionally left blank 
 VIII. Term and Termination 
 A.
Term: This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, shall remain in full force until it automatically expires on May 22, 2012, unless Licensee
notifies Tessera by November 22, 2011 that Licensee elects to extend this Agreement by five (5) years until May 22, 2017, and continue to pay royalties for Licensed Products during the five (5) year extension period at rates
equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amounts due under Paragraph III.B. herein. If Licensee elects to extend this Agreement until May 22, 2017, upon expiration of the extended term, Licensee shall have a fully paid-up and perpetual license
on the terms set forth in Paragraphs II.A through II.D herein to use the Tessera Patents to the same extent as Licensee was licensed to use and was using Tessera Patents immediately prior to such expiration. 
 B. Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement due to the other party’s breach of this Agreement, such as failure to
perform its duties, obligations, or responsibilities herein (including, without limitation, failure to pay fees and royalties and provide reports as set forth herein). The parties agree that such breach will cause substantial damages to the party
not in breach. Therefore, the parties agree to work together to mitigate the effect of any such breach; however, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement if such breach is not cured or sufficiently mitigated (to the non-breaching
party’s satisfaction) within sixty (60) days of notice thereof. 
 C. Termination for Assignment. In the event that
(i) a party either sells or assigns substantially all of its assets or business to a third party (“Selling Party”) or (ii) a third party acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the capital stock entitled to vote for
directors of such party (“Purchasing Party”), the Selling Party shall notify the other party hereto of such sale or assignment of assets or the Purchasing Party’s acquisition. In any case of sale, assignment or 
  

 Page 6 of 11 








 acquisition, the Selling Party shall provide to the other party a written confirmation from such Purchasing Party stating
that such Purchasing Party shall expressly undertakes all the terms and conditions of this Agreement to be performed by Selling Party. In the event that Licensee is the Selling Party and the Purchasing Party does not agree to fulfill such
obligations under this Agreement, Tessera shall reserve a right to terminate this Agreement. In the event Tessera is the Selling Party, the Purchasing Party shall be bound to the terms and obligations of this Agreement. 
 D. Termination for Bankruptcy. In the event that one party becomes insolvent or bankrupt, permanently ceases doing business, makes an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, commits an act of bankruptcy, commences any bankruptcy proceedings or other proceedings in the nature of bankruptcy proceedings, or has commenced against it any bankruptcy proceedings or other proceedings in the
nature of bankruptcy proceedings that are not dismissed within sixty (60) days, then the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon its notice. 
 E. Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph VIII shall be deemed a termination of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms (including termination of any payments of unaccrued royalties to Tessera and any rights of Licensee to use any Tessera Patent licensed hereunder). 
 F. Survival Clause. Unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the following provisions shall survive the termination or expiration of
this Agreement: 
 1. Licensee’s obligation to make payments to Tessera accrued under this Agreement on or prior to expiration or
termination. 
 2. Licensee’s obligation to submit written reports stipulated in Paragraph V for periods prior to termination, Licensee

Reasonable Audit 
 A. Financial Audit. Upon reasonable written prior notice, Tessera shall have the right to examine and audit
through an independent third party CPA firm, not more frequently than once per year, relevant records of Licensee that may contain information bearing upon the amount of fees and royalties payable under this Agreement; provided, that the said
auditor shall have agreed in advance in writing to maintain in confidence and not to disclose to Tessera or any third party any 
  

 Page 7 of 11 








 Licensee proprietary information obtained during the course of such audit. Licensee shall permit auditors to copy and
retain audit relevant records in confidence. The results of any such audit shall be final, and within thirty (30) days after receiving the auditor’s report, Licensee shall make payment to Tessera of any amount which may be found to be
payable, if any, and Tessera shall make payment to Licensee of any amount which may be found to have been overpaid, if any. Tessera shall bear the expenses of such audit examinations unless fees and royalties due and owing to Tessera are determined
by the auditor to be at least five percent (5%) greater than such similar amounts as calculated and/or paid by Licensee, in which case Licensee shall bear such expenses. 
 X. No Warranties 
 The Parties
acknowledge and agree that the rights and licenses, Tessera Patents, Licensee patents and standards granted or otherwise provided hereunder are provided “AS IS”, with no warranty of any kind. NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, CONCERNING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY, USEFULNESS, PATENT VALIDITY OR NONINFRINGEMENT. Neither Party makes any warranty
that the Tessera Patents or the Licensee patents will be sufficient to yield any particular result. 
 XI. Limitation on Damages

 IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY (UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY) FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES. 
 XII. Confidentiality of Agreement Terms 
 A. Confidential Terms. Tessera and Licensee shall keep the terms of this Agreement (including all Attachments hereto) confidential except:

reasonable actions to obtain a protective order protecting the disclosure. With respect to any disclosure of this Agreement required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or similar governmental agencies (it being acknowledged and
agreed that Licensee will file this Agreement as an exhibit to the registration statement on form F-1 it has filed with respect to its initial public offering), Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of the royalty
terms set forth in Attachment B hereto, provided, however, that, if after making such reasonable efforts Licensee is unable to secure such confidential treatment without adversely effecting the timing of its planned initial public offering, then
Licensee need not secure such confidential treatment of the royalty terms; 
 (2) as may otherwise be required by law; 
 (3) disclosures to their respective attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors; or
