facilities as allowed pursuant to the Transaction Documents), the Company's

of required Capital Contribution and the required funding date and shall be sent

If the Members (or one of the Members as allowed pursuant to Section 4.1.2(c))
have made all of the Base Contributions provided for by Section 4.1.2(a) during

financing. If, after using its reasonable efforts to obtain such financing, the

Company, then the Company may request that the Members make additional Capital
Contributions in excess of the Base Contributions of up to an additional
aggregate amount equal to such amount as agreed between the Members or, absent

Contributions")) to the Company upon the written request of the Board of

least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the required funding date. Such

Interest.

               (c)
If a Member fails to make a required Base Contribution or a requested Excess
Contribution by the required funding date set forth pursuant to Section 4.1.2(a)
or (b) above, then the other Member may elect to fund its portion and all or
part of the non-funding Member's portion of such Base Contribution or Excess
Contribution; provided, however, that in no event may a Member make during any
year aggregate Base Contributions, including those made for itself and for the
non-funding Member, in excess of the Maximum Base Contributions Amount or
aggregate Excess Contributions, including those made for itself and for the
non-funding Member, in excess of the Maximum Excess Contributions Amount,
without the prior written consent of the other Member.

               (d)
Upon the payment by either or both Members of any required Base Contribution or
requested Excess Contribution, the Company shall issue a number of additional
Units (rounded down to the nearest whole Unit) to the funding Member(s) equal to
the amount of the Base Contribution or Excess Contribution, as the case may be,
funded by the funding Member(s) divided by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the [****]of the Company's Assets, less the [****] of the Company's liabilities,
as of the required funding date immediately prior to the funding of the Base
Contributions or Excess Contributions, as the case may be, and the denominator
of which is the number of Units outstanding immediately prior to the funding of
the Base Contributions or Excess Contributions, as the case may be.

               (e)
The provisions of Sections 4.1.2(a)-(d) (including any obligation to make any
Base Contribution or Excess Contribution requested on or prior to [****]) shall
not apply following [****]unless neither Member has provided notice pursuant to
Section 8.2(f) prior to [****], in which case such provisions shall again be
applicable following [****].

Board of Managers

          5.1.1
Powers. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all management
powers over the business, property and affairs of the Company are exclusively
vested in a board of Managers (the "Board of Managers"), and no Member shall
have any right to participate in or exercise control or management power over
the business and affairs of the Company or otherwise to bind, act or purport to
act on behalf of the Company in any manner. Subject to the limitations set forth
in this Agreement, the Board of Managers shall have all the rights and powers
that may be possessed by a manager under the Act, which shall include, without
limitation, the power to incur indebtedness, the power to enter into agreements
and commitments of all kinds, the power to manage, acquire and dispose of
Company Assets, and all ancillary powers necessary or convenient to the
foregoing. Unless authorized by a Special Vote, no individual Manager may, in
his or her capacity as a Manager, act for the Board of Managers or have
authority to bind the Company. The Board of Managers may also designate one or
more persons to open bank accounts and conduct other banking business on behalf
of the Company. The Managers shall devote such time to the business and affairs
of the Company as is reasonably necessary for the performance of their duties,
but shall not be required to devote full time to the performance of such
duties.

          5.1.2
Evaluation of General Manager. The Board of Managers will be responsible for
supervision and evaluation of the Company's General Manager on an ongoing basis,

Number of Managers; Appointment of Managers

          The
Board of Managers shall initially consist of six (6) individuals (each such
individual, a "Manager"). Subject to Sections 5.3 and 5.4 below, three (3) of
the Managers shall be appointed by Micron and three (3) of the Managers shall be
appointed by Photronics. Unless a Manager resigns (including by death or
retirement) or is removed either by the Member who appointed such Manager or in
accordance with Section 5.3 or 5.4, each Manager shall hold office until a
successor shall have been duly appointed by the appointing Member. Each Member
having the right to nominate a Manager or Managers pursuant to this Section 5.2
shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to remove such Manager or Managers
at any time, by delivery of written notice to the other Member, the Company and
the Manager(s) to be removed. In the case of a vacancy in the office of a
Manager for any reason (including by reason of death, resignation, retirement,
expiration of such Manager's term or removal pursuant to the preceding
sentence), the vacancy shall be filled by the Member that nominated the Manager
in question; provided, however, that in the case of a vacancy created due to a
change in a Member's Percentage Interest as described in Section 5.3 or 5.4,
such vacancy shall be filled in accordance with Section 5.3 or 5.4. Micron
hereby selects the individuals specified on Exhibit B hereto to serve on the
initial Board of Managers. Photronics hereby selects the individuals specified
on Exhibit C hereto to serve on the initial Board of Managers.

Effect of Reduction in Photronics' Percentage Interest on Photronics
Managers

          Subject
to Section 5.4.1 below, the number of Managers that Photronics can appoint to or
maintain on the Board of Managers shall depend on Photronics' Percentage
Interest as follows:

	Photronics' Percentage
      Interest	      	Number of Photronics
      Managers
	[****]		3
	[****]		1
	[****]		0



               5.4
Effect of Reduction in Micron's Percentage Interest on Micron
Managers

          Subject
to Section 5.4.1 below, the number of Managers that Micron can appoint to or
maintain on the Board of Managers shall depend on Micron's Percentage Interest
as follows:

	Micron's
      Percentage Interest	      	Number of Micron
      Managers
	[****]		3
	[****]		1
	[****]		0



          5.4.1
Procedure. If either Member's Percentage Interest should be below any of the
threshold levels set forth in Sections 5.3 or 5.4 above and if such Member (the
"Reducing Member") then has more designees serving on the Board of Managers than
the number to which it is entitled, such Reducing Member shall immediately
identify by written notice to the other Member the designee or designees on the
Board of Managers that will cease serving on the Board of Managers, and each
such designee shall thereupon cease to be a Manager or member of the Board of
Managers. If such Reducing Member fails to make such designation within five (5)
Business Days after written demand by the other Member (the "Increasing
Member"), the Increasing Member may designate by written notice to the Reducing
Member one or more (as appropriate) of the Reducing Member's designees on the
Board of Managers that will cease serving on the Board of Managers and each such
designee shall thereupon cease to be a Manager or member of the Board of
Managers. Upon the written notice described in either of the immediately
preceding two sentences, the Increasing Member may immediately fill the
vacancies created by such removals by written notice to the other Member
designating its selected Manager(s). Similarly, if a Member whose Percentage
Interest fell below any threshold level set forth in Section 5.3 or 5.4
subsequently increases its Percentage Interest above any such level, the process
shall be reversed.

the Percentage Interest of Micron falls below [****], then the Chairman of the
Board will be selected by Photronics if Photronics' Percentage Interest is above
[****] or otherwise by the Board of Managers.

5.11 Indemnification and Liability of the Managers

          5.11.1
Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Manager, the
General Manager and all other Officers (individually, an "Indemnitee") to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law from and against any and all losses,
claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses
of any nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements),
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts (each an "Indemnified Loss")
arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Indemnitee may be
involved as a defendant, or threatened to be involved as a defendant (other than
all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings brought by the Member who
nominated such Manager, if applicable), relating to the performance or
nonperformance of any act concerning the activities of the Company or by reason
of the Indemnitee's status as a Manager, General Manager or Officer, as
applicable, regardless of whether the Indemnitee retains such status at the time
any such Indemnified Loss is paid or incurred, if (a) the Indemnitee acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful, and (b) the Indemnitee's conduct did not constitute an act or omission
which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law. The
termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, in and of itself,
create a presumption or otherwise constitute evidence that the Indemnitee acted
in a manner contrary to that specified in clauses (a) or (b) above.

          5.11.2
Expenses. Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand,
action, suit or proceeding subject to this Section 5.11 shall be advanced by the
Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit, or
proceeding.

          5.11.3 Company Expenses. Any indemnification provided
hereunder shall be satisfied solely out of the Company Assets, as an expense of
the Company. No Member shall be subject to liability by reason of these
indemnification provisions.

          5.11.4 No
Other Rights. The provisions of this Section 5.11 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any
other Person; provided, however, that the indemnification rights provided in
this Section 5.11 will inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives,
successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

          5.11.5 No
Liability. No Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for any
losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of
any Indemnitee if (a) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, and (b) the Indemnitee's conduct
did not constitute an act or omission which involved intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of the law.

          5.11.6
Reliance Upon Agreement. To the extent that any Manager, General Manager or
Officer (each, a "Responsible Party") has, under Applicable Law or in equity,
duties (including, without limitation, fiduciary duties) to the Company, any
Member or other Person bound by the terms of this Agreement, such Responsible
Parties acting in accordance with this Agreement shall not be liable to the
Company, any Member, or any such other Person for its good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Agreement.

          5.11.7 No
Fiduciary Duties.

              
(a) In connection with the determination of any and all matters presented
for action to the Members, the Board of Managers or the Technology Steering
Committee, as applicable, the Members acknowledge and agree that each Member
will be acting on its own behalf and each Representative serving on the Board of
Managers or the Technology Steering Committee will be acting on behalf of the
Member that appointed such Representative.

              
(b) Each Member may act, and, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, will be protected for acting, in its own interest (subject to
the express terms of any contract entered into by such Member) without regard to
the interest of the other Member or the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and,
subject to Section 5.11.7(E), each Representative may act, and, to the fullest
extent permitted by Applicable Law, will be protected for acting, at the
direction or control of, or in a manner that such Representative believes is in
the best interest of, the Member that appointed the Representative without
regard to the interest of the other Member or the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. Further, each Member may, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law (subject to the express terms of any contract entered into by
such Member), make decisions and exercise direction and control over the
decisions of the Representatives appointed by such Member without duty to or
regard for the interests of the other Member or the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.

of its subsidiaries, and each Member waive, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, (1) any claim or cause of action against any Member or Manager
or member of the Technology Steering Committee appointed by a Member based on
the determination of any and all matters presented for action to the Members,
the Board of Managers or the Technology Steering Committee, as applicable, (2)
breach of fiduciary duty, duty of care, duty of loyalty or any other duty or (3)
breach of the Act; provided, however, the foregoing will not limit any Member's
obligation under or liability for breach of the express terms of this Agreement
or any other agreement that they have entered into with the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or the other Member.

              
(d) The Company and each Member, by entering into this Agreement,
expressly acknowledge that neither Member nor any of its designated Managers
shall owe any fiduciary duties to the Company or to the other Member by virtue
of such Member's ownership of a majority of the Units of the Company or such
Member's Managers' positions on, and majority control of, the Board of Managers
or the Technology Steering Committee.

              
(e) The term "Representative" shall mean, with respect to a Member, the
Managers and members of the Technology Steering Committee appointed by such
Member, but not including, only for purposes of Section 5.11.7(c)(2), the
General Manager or any other officer of the Company (and each such officer shall
be bound by such fiduciary and other duties (including the duty of care and the
duty of loyalty) as would apply to an officer having comparable authority and
duties under the DGCL).

General Manager. The Company will have a General Manager (the "General Manager")
to be selected by Micron with input from the Board of Managers and Photronics;

usually vested in the office of chief executive officer of corporations and
shall have such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the Board of
Managers. Only the General Manager, the Board of Managers or individuals

General Manager (the General Manager and any other officers elected in

kept for that purpose, and shall perform like duties for any standing committees
when requested by such committee.

              
(b) Any secretary of the Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at the
principal executive office or at the office of the Company's transfer agent or

          5.12.6
General Provisions Regarding Officers.

              
(a) The Board of Managers may, from time to time, designate Officers of
the Company and delegate to such Officers such authority and duties as the Board
of Managers may deem advisable and may assign titles (including, without
limitation, president, vice-president and/or treasurer) to any such Officer.
Unless the Board of Managers otherwise determines, if the title assigned to an
Officer of the Company is one commonly used for Officers of a business
corporation, then, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the assignment of
such title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of the authority and
duties that are customarily associated with such office. Any number of titles
may be held by the same Officer.

              
(b) Any Officer to whom a delegation is made pursuant to the foregoing

          7.3.1 If
the Percentage Interest of a Member (the "Minority Member") drops to [****] or

the other Member or a wholly owned subsidiary thereof (such other Member or
Affiliate thereof, the "Majority Member") shall have the option to purchase all
of the remaining Interest of the Minority Member at a cash purchase price equal
to the Option Price, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. The
Majority Member may exercise this purchase option by delivering a written notice
of its intent to exercise to the Minority Member. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Minority Member's remaining Interest
(the "Minority Closing") shall take place as of the last day of the Fiscal Month
in which the notice is delivered (unless such notice is delivered within the
last ten (10) days of the end of a Fiscal Month, in which case the Minority
Closing shall take place on the last day of the first full Fiscal Month
thereafter). Such Minority Closing shall take place at the principal office of

Member may mutually determine. At the Minority Closing, (i) the Minority Member

ARTICLE 8.
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, AND TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY

              
8.1 Limitations

          The Company
may be dissolved, liquidated, and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 8, and the parties hereto do hereby irrevocably waive, to the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all other rights they may have to
cause a dissolution, liquidation or termination of the Company or a sale or
partition of any or all of the Company Assets in connection with such
dissolution or liquidation.

              
8.2 Exclusive Causes

         
Notwithstanding the Act, the following and only the following events
shall cause the Company to be dissolved, liquidated, and terminated:

              
(a) the election of all of the Members;

              
(b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to Section
18-802 of the Act;

              
(c) any Member's election, if the Company ceases operation for more than
six (6) months unless due to Force Majeure (as defined in the Supply Agreement
dated as of the date hereof between Photronics and Micron);

              
(d) Photronics' election following a material breach of this Agreement or
any other material provision of any of the Transaction Documents by Micron and,
if the material breach is capable of cure, such material breach continues
uncured for a period (i) specified in such Transaction Document or (ii) of
ninety (90) days of a written notice from Micron to Photronics of such material
breach if no cure period is specified in such Transaction Document; provided
that if the breach in the case of (ii) is capable of being cured and the
breaching party has worked diligently and in good faith since the receipt of the
notice to cure such breach, but has not cured the breach during the allotted
time, the cure period will be extended for an additional thirty (30)
days;

              
(e) Micron's election following a material breach of this Agreement or
any other material provision of any of the Transaction Documents by Photronics;
and, if the material breach is capable of cure, such material breach continues
uncured for a period (i) specified in such Transaction Document or (ii) of
ninety (90) days of a written notice from Micron to Photronics of such material
breach if no cure period is specified in such Transaction Document; provided
that if the breach in the case of (ii) is capable of being cured and the
breaching party has worked diligently and in good faith since the receipt of the
notice to cure such breach, but has not cured the breach during the allotted
time, the cure period will be extended for an additional thirty (30)

Commission.













              
(f) either Member's election upon at least [****] notice
prior to (i) the ten-year anniversary of this Agreement or (ii) the last date of
each successive five-year period following the ten-year anniversary of this
Agreement, such termination to be effective upon such ten-year anniversary or
the last date of such five-year period, as applicable;

              
(g) the election by a Member with a Percentage Interest of at least 90%
to dissolve and wind up the affairs of the Company (which election shall not
require the consent of the other Member), upon delivery of written notice of
such election to the Company and the other Member;

              
(h) the occurrence of any other event that, under the Act, makes it
unlawful, impossible or impractical to carry on the business of the
Company;

              
(i) the election by either Member to dissolve and wind up the affairs of
the Company upon (a) the occurrence of a bankruptcy of the Company, provided
that the Member making such election is not in default of any payment obligation
to the Joint Venture Company or (b) the bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation

made only after entry by the court presiding over the bankruptcy of an order

making such election; or

              
(j) [****].

To the fullest extent permitted by law,
any dissolution of the Company other than as provided in this Section 8.2 shall
be a dissolution in contravention of this Agreement. The parties agree that the
failure of a Member to make Base Contributions (but not the failure of a Member
to make Excess Contributions) or the Transfer of Membership Interests by a
Member in contravention of this Agreement shall, among other matters, constitute
a material breach of this Agreement.

              
8.3 Effect of Dissolution

          The
dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event
occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until
it has been wound up and its assets have been distributed as provided in Section
8.5.1 or 8.5.3 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the
Company, prior to the termination of the Company, the business of the Company
and the affairs of the Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this
Agreement.

              
8.4 No Capital Contribution Upon Dissolution

          Each Member
shall look solely to the Company Assets for all distributions with respect to
the Company, its Capital Contribution thereto, its Capital Account and its share
of Net Profits or Net Losses, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon
dissolution or otherwise) against any other Member. Accordingly, if any Member
has a deficit Capital Account balance (after giving effect to all contributions,
distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during
which the liquidation occurs), then such Member shall have no obligation to make
any Capital Contribution with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall
not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any
purpose whatsoever.

8.5 Liquidation

          8.5.1 Upon
dissolution of the Company, the Board of Managers (or other Person(s) designated
by a decree of court) shall act as the "Liquidators" of the Company. The
Liquidators shall liquidate the Company Assets, and after allocating (pursuant
to Article 10 of this Agreement) all income, gain, loss and deductions resulting
therefrom, shall apply and distribute the proceeds thereof as
follows:

              
(a) first, to (i) the payment of the obligations of the Company to third
parties, including, but not limited to and on a pari passu basis, taxes, debts,
lease and other payments to Persons other than Members or their Affiliates; (ii)
the expenses of liquidation; and (iii) the setting up of any reserves for
contingencies, debts or liabilities to Persons other than the Members or their
Affiliates, whether the whereabouts of the creditor is known or unknown, which
the Board of Managers may consider necessary;

              
(b) thereafter, amounts due to either Member or their respective
Affiliates (other than a Company Entity) pursuant to intellectual property
license agreements, consulting agreements, services agreements, subcontracting
agreements, lease agreements and other similar agreements; and

              
(c) thereafter, to the Members in proportion to the positive balances in
the Members' respective Capital Accounts, determined after taking into account
all Capital Account adjustments for the Company's taxable year during which such
liquidation occurs, by the end of the taxable year in which such liquidation
occurs or, if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of the
liquidation.

          8.5.2
Notwithstanding Section 8.5.1 of this Agreement, in the event that the Board of
Managers determines that an immediate sale of all or any portion of the Company
Assets would cause undue loss to the Members, the Board of Managers, in order to
avoid such loss to the extent not then prohibited by the Act, may either defer
liquidation of and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time any Company
Assets except those necessary to satisfy the Company's debts and obligations,
or, subject to Section 9.4, distribute the Company Assets to the Members in kind
(in accordance with the second sentence of Section 8.5.1).

          8.5.3
Notwithstanding Section 8.5.1 or 8.5.2 of this Agreement, in the event of
termination pursuant to Section 8.2 (other than pursuant to Section 8.2(d))
Micron shall have the right, exercisable within thirty (30) days of such
termination, to acquire, free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances (i)
from Photronics, Photronics' Membership Interest at a purchase price equal
[****]. The foregoing purchase price shall be determined (and adjusted as
necessary) in the manner provided in Section 7.4.3.

ARTICLE 9.
DISTRIBUTIONS

              
9.1 Distributions of Cash Available for
Distribution

          9.1.1 Use
of Cash. Subject to applicable legal and contractual restrictions and to Section
9.2 and Article 8, Company cash will be treated as follows (in the following
order of priority):

              
(a) First, cash will be retained in the Company in an amount sufficient
to fund the Company's operations. Such amount will take into consideration
scheduled debt service, lease and other payments to third parties and payments
of amounts due to either Member or their respective Affiliates pursuant to
intellectual property license agreements, consulting agreements, services
agreements, subcontracting agreements, lease agreements and other similar
agreements; and

              
(b) Second, subject to Section 9.1.2, any excess cash remaining will be
distributed at the discretion of the Board of Managers to Micron and Photronics
pro rata based on their Percentage Interests at the time of such
distribution.

          9.1.2
Excess Allocations. Subject to Section 9.2 and Article 8, to the extent a
Member's Percentage Interest is adjusted for any reason as provided in this
Agreement and the aggregate allocations of Net Profit (and similar items) net of
any allocations of Net Losses (and similar items) made to such Member pursuant
to Article 10 on a cumulative basis through the effective time of such
adjustment exceeded: (a) the aggregate distributions made to such Member
pursuant to Sections 9.1.1(b) and 9.4 plus (b) all amounts previously
distributed to such Member pursuant to this Section 9.1.2 through such effective
time (collectively, an "Excess Allocation"), then prior to the making of any
further distributions pursuant to Section 9.1.1(b), distributions shall first be
made pro rata among the Members according to their respective Excess Allocation
amounts existing at such time, to the extent thereof.

              
9.2 Distributions Upon Liquidation

         
Distributions made in conjunction with the final liquidation of the
Company shall be applied or distributed as provided in Article 8
hereof.

              
9.3 Withholding

          The Company
may withhold amounts in respect of allocations or distributions if it is
required to do so by any Applicable Law, and each Member hereby authorizes the
Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member such
amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Tax Matters Partner
determines the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount
distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, provided
that the Tax Matters Partner shall provide Photronics with twenty (20) Business
Days advance written notice of the amount of any withholding to be made in
respect of allocations or distributions to Photronics (or any Affiliate of
Photronics) which notice shall demonstrate the calculation thereof. Any amount
paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall
constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be repaid by
such Member within twenty (20) Business Days after notice from the Company that
such payment must be made unless: (i) the Company withholds such payment from a
distribution that would otherwise be made to the Company or (ii) the Tax Matters
Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that such payment may be satisfied
out of Company Assets available therefor which would, but for such payment, be
distributed to the Member. Any amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 9.3
shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member. Each Member hereby
represents that it has provided to the Company IRS Form W-9 and that it has
provided and will from time to time provide such other forms or documents as may
reasonably be required in order to establish the status of such Member for
purposes of the tax laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Each Member agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any liability imposed on the
Company for (i) any action taken by the Company in reliance upon such
representation of tax withholding status or (ii) any failure to withhold from
any amount distributable or allocable, or deemed distributable or allocable, to
such Member pursuant to this Agreement. A Member's obligations hereunder shall
survive the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. If a
Governmental Authority asserts in writing to any Person that the Company failed
to withhold Tax at the time and/or in the amounts required by Chapter 3 of the
Code or comparable provisions of other Tax laws in respect of Photronics and/or
its Affiliates, then Photronics and/or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall
promptly upon receipt of a copy of such writing accompanied by a written notice
from the Company specifying that a payment is required pursuant to this Section
9.3 pay to such Governmental Authority an amount in full satisfaction of the
amount of Taxes so asserted by such Governmental Authority. If Photronics and
its Affiliates do not promptly pay such amount to such Governmental Authority,
then, unless Photronics provides satisfactory written evidence of settlement in
full of the matter asserted by the Governmental Authority, the Company shall
withhold such amount from the next distribution(s) to Photronics, shall promptly
pay such withheld amounts over to such Governmental Authority in payment of such
asserted liability for Taxes and shall treat the amounts so withheld and paid
over as actually distributed to Photronics.

9.4 Distributions in Kind

          Subject to
Section 8.5.3, no right is given to any Member to demand or receive any
distribution of property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. Upon a
vote of the Board of Managers and a Special Vote, the Board of Managers may
determine (subject to the approval of the Special Vote) to make a distribution
in kind of Company Assets to the Members, and such Company Assets shall be
distributed in such fashion as to ensure that the fair market value thereof (as
determined by the Board of Managers and approved by the Special Vote) is
distributed, and any items of gain or loss resulting from such distribution are
allocated, in accordance with this Article 9 and Articles 6 and 10
hereof.

              
9.5 Limitations on Distributions

         
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, neither the Company nor the Board of Managers, on behalf of the
Company, shall be required to or shall knowingly make a distribution to any
Member or the holder of any Economic Interest on account of its Membership
Interest or Economic Interest in the Company (as applicable) in violation of the
Act or other Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 10.

ALLOCATIONS OF NET PROFITS AND NET
LOSSES

              
10.1 General Allocation of Net Profits and Losses

          10.1.1 Net
Profits and Net Losses shall be determined and allocated with respect to each
Fiscal Year or other period of the Company as of the end of such Fiscal Year or
other period and at such other times, if any, as the Board of Managers shall
determine is appropriate for purposes of administering this Agreement. Subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement, an allocation to a Member of a share
of Net Profits or Net Losses shall be treated as an allocation of the same share
of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in
computing Net Profits or Net Losses.

          10.1.2 Subject to the other provisions of this Article 10, Net
Profits, Net Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss and deduction for
any Fiscal Year shall be allocated in proportion to the Members' respective
Percentage Interests.

              
10.2 Regulatory Allocations

         
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10, the
following special allocations shall be made in the following order of
priority:

          10.2.1 If
there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year,
then, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), each Member
shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and,
if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of
the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 10.2.1 is intended to comply
with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

          10.2.2 If
there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member
Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable year, each Member who has a share of
the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined
in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall, to the extent
required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), be specially allocated items of
Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent
years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Member
Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in a
manner consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2).
This Section 10.2.2 is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt
minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and
shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

          10.2.3 If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment,
allocation, or distribution of the type contemplated by Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), and after receiving such adjustment,
allocation, or distribution, such Member has an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit, items of income and gain shall be allocated to all such Members (in
proportion to the amounts of their respective Adjusted Capital Account Deficits)
in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible. This Section 10.2.3 is intended
to constitute a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.

          10.2.4 If
the allocation of Net Loss to a Member as provided in Section 10.1 would create
or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such Member, there shall be
allocated to such Member only that amount of Net Loss as will not create or
increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Net Loss that would, absent
the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member
shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with their relative
Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations of this Section 10.2.4. If,
after the allocation of Net Loss pursuant to the preceding two sentences, no
additional amount of Net Loss can be allocated to any Member without creating or
increasing an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such Member, then Net Loss
shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their relative Percentage
Interests. This Section 10.2.4 is intended to implement the alternate test for
economic effect set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall
be interpreted consistently therewith.

Commission.










          10.2.5 To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax
basis of any Company Asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section
743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in
determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in
complete liquidation of its Interest in the Company, the amount of such
adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the
adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment
decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the
Members in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event that
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom
such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

          10.2.6 The
Nonrecourse Deductions for each taxable year of the Company shall be allocated
to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

          10.2.7 The
Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated each year to the Member that
bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-2) for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions
are attributable.

          10.2.8 The allocations set forth in Sections 10.2.1, 10.2.2,
10.2.3, 10.2.4, 10.2.5, 10.2.6 and 10.2.7 (the "Regulatory Allocations") are
intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)
and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1.2, the Regulatory
Allocations shall be taken into account by the Board of Managers in specially
allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so
that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items
and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount
that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations
had not occurred. In exercising its discretion under this Section 10.2.8, the
Board of Managers shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that,
although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations
previously made.

10.3 Tax Allocations

          10.3.1 Except as provided in Section 10.3.2, for income tax
purposes under the Code and the Regulations and for purposes of applicable state
and local law, each Company item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be
allocated between the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of
"book" income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to this Article
10.

          10.3.2 Tax
items with respect to Company Assets that are contributed to the Company with a
Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing
Member immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated between
the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under
Code Section 704(c) or, if applicable, corresponding provisions of applicable
state or local law so as to take into account such variation. The Company shall
account for such variation under any permissible method under Section 704(c) as
determined by the Tax Matters Partner. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company
Asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (2) of the definition of "Gross Asset
Value," subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect
to such Company Asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted
basis of such Company Asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset
Value under any permissible method under Section 704(c) as determined by the Tax
Matters Partner. Any tax credits will be allocated to the Members in accordance
with the requirements of applicable tax law. Allocations pursuant to this
Section 10.3.2 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and
shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's
Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses and any other items or
distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

              
10.4 Other Provisions

          10.4.1 For
any Fiscal Year during which any Membership Interest or Economic Interest or
portion thereof is Transferred between the Members or to another Person or is
otherwise disposed of or acquired, or there is for any other reason a change in
the Members' respective Percentage Interests, the portion of the Net Profits,
Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit with
respect to such Membership Interest or Economic Interest or portion thereof
shall be allocated and, to the extent necessary apportioned, under any method
allowed pursuant to Section 706 of the Code and the applicable Regulations, as
reasonably determined by the Board of Managers; provided, that the Board of
Managers shall utilize consistent methods with respect to the same or
substantially similar transactions and items in making such allocations or
apportionments with respect to all such changes in the Members' respective
Percentage Interests, whether occurring within a single Fiscal Year or in
different Fiscal Years.

          10.4.2 In
the event that the Code or any Regulations require allocations of items of
income, gain, loss, deduction or credit different from those set forth in this
Article 10, the Board of Managers is hereby authorized to make new allocations
in reliance on the Code and such Regulations, and no such new allocation shall
give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Member, provided that such
allocations are consistent with the advice of the Company Accountant or tax
counsel and are not likely to alter materially the amounts which each Member is
entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement.

          10.4.3 For purposes of determining a Member's proportional
share of the Company's "excess nonrecourse liabilities" within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member's interest in Net Profits shall
be such Member's Percentage Interest.

          10.4.4
Section 482 Adjustments.

              
(a) Company Section 482 Adjustment. If the Internal Revenue Service or
any applicable state or local taxing authority reallocates an item of income,
deduction or loss to the Company pursuant to Code Section 482 or any similar
rule or principle of law (a "Company Section 482 Allocation"), and a Member or
an Affiliate of such Member has a corresponding "correlative item," as
determined under Regulations Section 1.482-1(g) (the "Member Correlative
Item"), the item of income, deduction or loss constituting such Company Section
482 Allocation shall be specially allocated to and reflected in the Capital
Account of the Member who received (or whose Affiliate received) such Member
Correlative Item, and such Member shall be treated as making any corresponding
deemed capital contribution or receiving any corresponding deemed distribution,
with such deemed capital contribution or distribution, as the case may be,
reflected in the Capital Account of such Member.

              
(b) Member Section 482 Adjustment. If the Internal Revenue Service or any
applicable state or local taxing authority reallocates an item of income,
deduction or loss to a Member or an Affiliate of such Member pursuant to Code
Section 482 or any similar rule or principle of law (a
"Member Section 482 Allocation"), and the Company has a corresponding
"correlative item," as determined under Regulations Section 1.482-1(g) (the
"Company Correlative Item"), such Company Correlative Item shall be specially
allocated to and reflected in the Capital Account of the Member that received
(or whose Affiliate received) such Member Section 482 Allocation, and such
Member shall be treated as making any corresponding deemed capital contribution
or receiving any corresponding deemed distribution, with such deemed capital
contribution or distribution, as the case may be, reflected in the Capital
Account of such Member.

              
(c) Corresponding Treatment if
Foreign Adjustment. If any taxing authority outside the United States makes an
adjustment to the income, deduction or loss of the Company or a Member (or an
Affiliate of a Member) that is analogous to an adjustment under Code Section
482, the Board of Managers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to handle
any affected items of the Company in a manner analogous to the treatment of an
adjustment under Code Section 482 as set forth in Sections 10.4.4(a) and
10.4.4(b) above.

          10.4.5 The Members
acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made
by this Article 10 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this
Article 10 in reporting their shares of the Company's income and loss for
federal, state and local income tax purposes. Without limiting the foregoing
sentence, each Member acknowledges that, while it presently has no plan or
intention to take a position in preparing a tax return that requires it to file
a notice of inconsistent treatment under Code Section 6222(b), if it intends to
do so in the future, it shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten (10)
days advance notice of such intent to the Company and shall, if so requested by
the Company, consult with the Tax Matters Partner concerning such
position.

other determinations provided for in this Article 10 and any accounting
procedures not expressly provided for in this Agreement shall be determined by
the Board of Managers in a manner consistent with the terms and intent of this
Agreement.

11.6 Tax Matters

          11.6.1 Tax
Matters Partner.

              
(a) The Company shall file an election pursuant to Code Section
6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) to have Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(i) not apply. For so long
as Micron and/or any of its Affiliates has an aggregate Percentage Interest
greater than fifty percent (50%), Micron shall serve as
the Company's "Tax Matters Partner" (as defined in Code Section 6231(a)(7)) and
shall perform any similar or corresponding role under applicable state law. The
Tax Matters Partner shall perform the duties imposed on a Tax Matters Partner
under the Code and shall be entitled to expend Company funds for (or to be
reimbursed for) reasonable third-party costs relating thereto. All legal and
accounting fees relating to any audits of the Company shall be borne by the
Company; provided, that the Members shall bear the costs of any audits of their
separate tax returns. In the event the United States Internal Revenue Service or
any other applicable Governmental Authority notifies the Tax Matters Partner of
any proposed Proceeding relating to the Company's information or tax returns or
to the amount of the liability of the Company for any Tax, the Tax Matters
Partner shall promptly notify the other Members of such matter, shall provide
relevant factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted
liability for Tax in reasonable detail and shall provide copies of any notice or
other documents received from the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable
Governmental Authority with respect to such matter. The Tax Matters Partner
shall at all times keep the other Members informed as to the status of all such
Proceedings.

              
(b) The Member designated as Tax
Matters Partner is hereby authorized to make all elections available to the
Company for federal, state, local, and foreign tax purposes, except that in no
event shall the Company file an election to be treated as a corporation or as an
association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes or for purposes of income or corporate franchise tax purposes under the
law of any State of the United States.

                   
(c) The Tax Matters Partner shall prepare or cause to be prepared all
appropriate income and information tax returns for the Company. All such returns
shall be subject to review by the other Member(s) before filing and shall be
delivered to the other Member(s) for review not fewer than ten (10) Business
Days in advance of the due date thereof (taking into account any extensions
actually obtained). All third-party costs and expenses reasonably incurred by
the Tax Matters Partner in performing its duties described in this Section 11.6
or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including legal and
accounting fees) shall be borne by the Company. Each Member shall provide to the
Tax Matters Partner such information as the Tax Matters Partner deems necessary
or appropriate in connection with its activities as Tax Matters Partner. The Tax
Matters Partner shall cooperate with the Members by providing to each Member
such information as the Member may reasonably request concerning the Company and
its transactions in connection with the determination of such Member's liability
for any Tax or any Proceeding relating thereto.

regarding the Tax treatment of the Company and Tax items attributable to the
Company.

Standards. The Tax Matters Partner and its Affiliates shall not be liable,
responsible, or accountable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company or to any
other Member(s) for doing any act or failing to do any act, with respect to the
Tax Matters Partner's duties set forth in this Section 11.6 or otherwise
performed, the effect of which may cause or result in loss or damage to the
Company or any Member(s), unless the Tax Matters Partner or one of its
Affiliates engages in gross negligence or willful misconduct.

              
11.7 Governing Law

          This
Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the

          11.8.4
Presumptions. No party, nor its counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this

11.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative

          The rights
and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one
right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or
all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other
rights the parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.

otherwise expressly provided herein, no party may assign, delegate or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any third party, whether
by assignment, transfer, Change in Control or other means, without the prior
written consent of each other party. Any attempted assignment in violation of
the foregoing shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement
shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Members, their heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and all other Persons hereafter holding,
having or receiving an interest in the Company.

              
11.11 Severability

          If any
provision in this Agreement will be found or be held to be invalid or
unenforceable, then the meaning of said provision will be construed, to the
extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable, and if no feasible
interpretation would save such provision, it will be severed from the remainder
of this Agreement which will remain in full force and effect unless the severed
provision is essential and material to the rights or benefits received by any
party. In such event, the parties will use their respective best efforts to
negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or
agreement which most nearly effects the parties' intent in entering into this
Agreement.

facsimile copies bearing the facsimile signature of a party shall constitute a
valid and binding execution and delivery of this Agreement by such
party.

11.13 Dispute Resolution

          The parties
hereby agree that claims, disputes or controversies of whatever nature, arising
out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance or
breach of this Agreement (or any other agreement contemplated by or related to
this Agreement), shall be first raised to the chief executive officer or another
officer of each of the Members (appointed by such Member's chief executive
officer) for discussion and attempt at resolution in good faith among such chief
executive officers or any individuals appointed by such chief executive officers
for such discussions and attempt at resolution, and if after thirty (30) days of
such raising to the chief executive officers the parties are unable to come to a
resolution, each of the parties shall be free to pursue any such claim, dispute
or controversy in court.

              
11.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries

provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or be enforceable by
any creditor of the Company or by any third-party creditor of any Member. This

remedies hereunder upon, and shall not be enforceable by, any Person other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns and,
solely with respect to the provision of Section 5.11, each Indemnitee and each
other indemnified Person addressed therein.

              
11.15 Specific
Performance

          The parties agree
that irreparable damage will result if this Agreement is not performed in
accordance with its terms, and the parties agree that any damages available at
law for a breach of this Agreement would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore,
the provisions hereof and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be
enforceable in a court of equity, or other tribunal with jurisdiction, by a
decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied
for an granted in connection therewith. Such remedies and all other remedies
provided for in this Agreement shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive
and shall be in addition to any other remedies that a party may have under this
Agreement, at law or in equity.

              
11.16 Consequential Damages

          No party shall be
liable to any other party under any legal theory for indirect, special,
incidental, consequential or punitive damages, or any damages for loss of
profits, revenue or business, even if such party has been advised of the
possibility of such damages (it being understood that consequential damages
arising from the breach of the confidentiality restrictions set forth in the
Non-Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered to fall within any such
category of damages).
