then the applicable Porting Team shall correct such Errors within
fourteen (14) days following receipt of notice thereof during

within the dates specified in the applicable Services Schedule and if
any Errors discovered before acceptance cannot be eliminated in the
correction period specified in Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 above, then
Samsung may, at its option: (i) extend the correction period or
(ii) suspend its performance and/or terminate such Services
Schedule for cause pursuant to Section 8.3, provided, however,
that Samsung need not provide HSNS the cure period specified in
Section 8.3.



|2.5 |  | Design Review and Specifications Changes.  HSNS understands that
there may be additions, deletions or other changes that may affect the
Requirements at any time during the term of this Agreement. In the event
that HSNS is requested by Samsung or required to perform services beyond
those, which are specifically set forth in a Services Schedule, any such
additional services and a compensation schedule therefor shall be mutually
agreed upon by the parties in writing prior to the provision of said
services. Said mutually agreed upon writing shall be an amendment to the
pertinent Services Schedule and appended thereto, and the services set
forth therein shall be deemed to be Services as the term is used in this
Agreement.

attached to an applicable Services Schedule, HSNS shall submit to Samsung
an invoice, on a monthly basis, describing the Services performed in
connection with each Port, individually, and, where applicable, costs
incurred, for each preceding month, and Samsung shall pay each such
invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt.

Agreement, is terminated by Samsung pursuant to Section 8 of this
Agreement, including a termination under Section 2.4.3 above, HSNS shall
be compensated for all fees and costs incurred for actual work performed
under each terminated Services Schedule(s) prior to the date HSNS receives
notice of such termination. Additionally, HSNS shall be reimbursed for
any and all non-cancelable third party obligations related to such
terminated Services Schedule(s) that are incurred prior to HSNSs receipt
of notice of such termination, provided that HSNS shall

efforts to mitigate same. Any funds paid by Samsung to HSNS, which shall be shown by Samsung to be
unearned at the date of termination, shall be returned to Samsung within
thirty (30) days of any Services Schedule termination. Certain Services of
HSNS may require greater utilization of resources at the outset such that
compensation based on a percentage of the Services completed prior to HSNS
completing the full Services set forth in a Services Schedule would work to
the detriment of HSNS. Accordingly, the parties agree that in the event of
early termination by Samsung, compensation for partially completed Services
shall be made on a time and materials basis.

| | 11.4 Taxes.  In the event taxes are required to be withheld on
payments made under this Agreement by any U.S. (state or federal) or
foreign government, Samsung may deduct such taxes from the amount owed
HSNS and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority. Samsung shall
in turn promptly secure and deliver to HSNS an official receipt for
any taxes withheld. Samsung will use reasonable efforts to minimize
such taxes to the extent permitted under applicable law.
Additionally, Samsung shall promptly provide HSNS with copies of tax
certificates showing that such tax payments have been made by Samsung.
Under the Convention for the Avoidance of Double Taxation between the
Republic of Korea and the U.S. and the Convention and Agreement of Tax
Exemption and Reduction between the Republic of Korea and U.S.,
engineering support, including, without limitation, the provision of
engineering support services, is not taxable.

| | 11.6 Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of each partys respective successors and lawful
assigns; provided, however, that Samsung may not assign this
Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written approval of
HSNS. An assignment shall be deemed to include, without limitation,
a merger of one party with a third party, whether or not the party is
the surviving entity, any transaction or series of transactions
whereby a third party acquires direct or indirect power to control the
management and policies of the party, whether through the acquisition
of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, or the sale of more
than fifty (50%) percent of the partys assets (whether in a single
transaction or series of transactions). Any attempted assignment in
violation of this Section 11.6 shall be void and of no effect.

| | 11.7 Force Majeure. Each party to this Agreement shall be excused
from any performance required of such party hereunder if, and only to
the extent, such performance is rendered impossible or unfeasible due
to any catastrophe or other major event beyond such partys reasonable
control and not due to the fault or negligence of such party,
including, without limitation, war, riot, and insurrection; laws,
proclamations, edicts, ordinances or regulations; strikes, lockouts or
serious labor disputes; floods, fires, explosions, or other natural
disasters. In the event of the occurrence of such a force majeure
event, the party unable to perform shall promptly notify the other
party, shall suspend performance only for such period of time as is
necessary as a result of the force majeure event, and shall use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to resume performance as quickly
as possible.



| |

| | 11.8 Construction.  If any one or more provisions of this
Agreement shall be found to be illegal or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby, provided the surviving agreement
materially comports with the parties original intent, and the
remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
Failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement
will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other
provision. This Agreement has been negotiated by the parties and
their respective counsel and will be interpreted fairly in accordance
with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or
against either party.
