<PAGE>

the project manager's responsibilities and other details regarding new Product
development and release shall be agreed upon by the Parties in writing.

               1.3    Manufacturer will own all inventory that Manufacturer
procures for use in the production of Asyst's Products unless and until
purchased by Asyst or an Asyst affiliate or subsidiary under this Agreement via
a purchase order from such entity.

               1.4    No later than October 14, 2002 (or October 31, 2002 if
Manufacturer is unable to hire at least two (2) accounts payable personnel from
Asyst as part of the employees for which Manufacturer makes offers to pursuant
to Section 10.7) (the "TRANSFER DATE") Manufacturer will purchase Asyst's
existing active inventory of components that are identified on Attachment K
("List of Existing Component Parts") ("EXISTING COMPONENT PARTS") for intended
use and incorporation into the Products or delivery as spare parts to Asyst and
Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries. Manufacturer shall pay to Asyst an amount
that will not be less than [*] or exceed [*] for this inventory, which specific
value shall be determined on the Transfer Date at Asyst's then-current standard
cost for the Existing Component Parts. Manufacturer shall transfer to an
Asyst-designated bank account such amount via wire transfer in immediately
available funds on the Transfer Date.

               1.5    The Products listed on Attachment A ("Products") represent
those products that Asyst desires to obtain from Manufacturer, and Manufacturer
desires to manufacture and supply to Asyst and Asyst's subsidiaries and
affiliates, as of the Effective Date. From time to time, Asyst may request in
writing for Manufacturer to manufacture a new product for supply to Asyst and
Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries under the provisions of this Agreement (a
"New Product"). If Asyst requests in writing for Manufacturer to manufacture a
New Product, Asyst will provide to Manufacturer at such time a proposed product
introduction plan, a ramp plan, the Product Specifications and other pertinent
information for such New Product. Manufacturer will consider in good faith all
such information, and the Parties will determine in good faith the pricing terms
and delivery timeframes that will apply to such New Product. Manufacturer will
not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its approval to the requested
addition by Asyst of a New Product to this Agreement if such New Product is
similar or comparable in feature and function to any existing Product that is or
has been provided by Manufacturer to Asyst under this Agreement. As to pricing
for such New Product, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the
Parties will adopt a similar and comparable pricing methodology for such New
Product as that pricing methodology used in this Agreement for comparable
existing Products. If the Parties reach agreement upon the inclusion of such New
Product under this Agreement, then subject to Section 19.15 the Parties will
promptly amend in writing this Agreement, including the addition of all
applicable agreed upon new terms or modification of additional terms, to add the
New Product to this Agreement.

               1.6    Manufacturer acknowledges that Asyst has certain
electronic data interchange requirements that Manufacture must meet in order to
supply Products and exchange information under this Agreement, which are
attached as Attachment M ("B2B Messaging"). Manufacturer will use commercially
reasonable efforts to implement all such electronic

interchange requirements as soon as practicable, but no later than March 31,
2003. Each Party will bear its own costs of implementation of any such
requirements.

               1.7    As of the Effective Date, Asyst and Manufacturer have
agreed upon certain tentative activities and milestones that Manufacturer must
achieve in connection with the transition of the manufacture by Asyst to
Manufacturer of the Products and the later movement of the manufacture of the
Products from Asyst's existing manufacturing facilities to those of
Manufacturer, which activities and milestones are set forth in Attachment O
("Transition Plan"), which are subject to change upon mutual agreement by Asyst
and Manufacturer. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Manufacturer
and Asyst shall refine further all such activities and milestones and agree upon
and document in greater detail all processes and procedures that Manufacturer
must follow and comply with in connection with the manufacture of Products under
this Agreement for supply to Asyst, and the movement of the manufacture by Asyst
of the Products through from Asyst's existing manufacturing facilities to those
of Manufacturer, including organization charts, reporting responsibilities and
such other matters associated with the manufacture of the Products by
Manufacturer (the "Final Plan"). Subject to and upon its written approval by
both parties, the Final Plan shall supersede and replace the existing schedule
of activities and milestones within Attachment O ("Transition Plan").

        2.     Grant of License

               2.1    Asyst hereby grants Manufacturer a worldwide nonexclusive,
nontransferable, royalty-free right and license, without the right to
sublicense, to use the Product Technology supplied by Asyst to Manufacturer
hereunder, solely to manufacture the Products for sale to Asyst and Asyst's
affiliates and subsidiaries. "PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY" means all object code and
source code, schematic diagrams, information and other related processes and
tangible embodiments relating in any way to the Products, and all other
Confidential Information supplied by Asyst, as well as all patents, copyrights,
mask works, circuit layout rights, design rights, trade secret rights, and other
proprietary rights including intellectual property, in or covering the
foregoing.

               2.2    Manufacturer acknowledges Asyst's ownership of the Product
Technology, and agrees that it will do nothing inconsistent with such ownership.
Nothing in this Agreement shall give Manufacturer any right, title or interest
in the Product Technology other than the right to manufacture the Products as
provided herein for distribution to Asyst and Asyst's affiliates and
subsidiaries. In addition, Manufacturer shall:

                      2.2.1  not challenge, deny or disavow Asyst's ownership
rights in the Product Technology or otherwise attack the validity or scope of
the license granted in Section 2.1, modify, reproduce, duplicate, copy or
otherwise disclose, use, distribute or disseminate the Product Technology in any
form, except as expressly provided herein;

                      2.2.2  restrict disclosure of and access to the Product
Technology to those of its employees and permitted subcontractors who are
required to use the Product Technology in the course of their employment, for
the purposes consistent with this Agreement and who are

bound by written agreement to treat such Product Technology no less
restrictively than as set forth in Section 13 ("Confidential Information");

                      2.2.3  use its best commercial efforts to prevent any
third party, to the extent known by Manufacturer, from infringing upon Asyst's
rights in the Product Technology and to notify Asyst promptly of any
unauthorized use or disclosure of the Product Technology by others as each such
unauthorized use or disclosure comes to Manufacturer's attention; and

                      2.2.4  upon the effective date of expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement, and at its own expense, promptly return to Asyst
the Product Technology and all drawings, blueprints, manuals, specifications,
lists, documentation, source or object codes, tapes, disks, or other storage
media, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, flowcharts, and all other materials
in its possession or under its control relating to the Product Technology.

        3.     Product Quantity Forecast and Ordering Rules

               3.1    Manufacturer shall sell and deliver Products to Asyst in
accordance with purchase orders issued by Asyst. Asyst shall provide a minimum
[*] purchase order with Manufacturer that will be updated by Asyst on a weekly
basis and include at least [*] of purchase order coverage. Asyst will also
provide [*] forecasts to Manufacturer for Products. The forecast is an
estimation of quantities required and will be reissued [*]. All commitments for
purchases of Products made by Asyst shall be made only upon issuance by Asyst of
purchase orders under this Agreement. All forecasts issued under this Agreement
are non-binding and Asyst shall (i) have no obligation to issue any purchase
orders for any quantity of Products; and (ii) incur no responsibility for any
components or materials that Manufacture may acquire in reliance upon any
forecast, except for any Asyst liability as provided in Section 4.5 for those
components that have lead times longer than the purchase order coverage and that
cannot be subsequently canceled without penalty.

               3.2    Purchase orders shall refer to this Agreement and contain:
(i) Product description (i.e., Asyst part number and revision level), (ii)
quantity, (iii) routing instructions, (iv) requested delivery date(s), (v)
destination, and (vi) confirmation of price. The term "delivery date" appearing
on Asyst's purchase orders or any change order means the on-dock date of Asyst
or Asyst's affiliates, subsidiaries or customers.

               3.3    Within [*] days after receipt of any purchase order that
is consistent with the then-current Asyst forecast and [*] days after receipt of
any purchase order for Products not contained in the then-current Asyst
forecast, Manufacturer will provide Asyst with written acknowledgment accepting
the purchase order or, if the purchase order is not consistent with the
then-current forecast, rejecting the order and the reasons therefor. On
acceptance of a purchase order, Manufacturer shall confirm the requested
delivery date. If Asyst does not receive notice of Manufacturer's rejection of a
purchase order that is consistent with the most recent forecast within the [*]
period, the purchase order shall be deemed accepted.

               3.4    Manufacturer's prices provided under this Agreement will
not include any premium for overtime labor charges for increased quantities of
Products required to be delivered within the flexibility limits set forth in the
table below. Any charges for overtime that Manufacturer incurs for increased
quantities of Products beyond such flexibility limits must be approved in
advance by Asyst. Manufacturer will develop a supply chain model that will
facilitate performance of its obligations hereunder and enable Asyst to meet its
quarterly forecasted revenue targets.

               3.5    Asyst and Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries may, from
time to time, and subject to the table below, reschedule in writing for later
delivery those quantities of Products contained in binding purchase orders.
Asyst may also request at any time for Manufacturer to increase the quantities
on order up to the maximum amounts that are set forth in the below schedule, and
Manufacturer shall accommodate such request. Subject to Manufacturer's
compliance with the provisions of Sections 3.7 and 3.8, and Manufacturer's
mitigation obligations under Section 4.7, any liability to Asyst for excess and
obsolete inventory of components and materials purchased by Manufacturer for use
in Products that have not otherwise been used by Manufacturer will be determined
in accordance with Sections 4.5 and 4.6 after taking into consideration the
below table that limits the amount of components and materials that may be
increased or rescheduled, without the prior written consent of Manufacturer, for
use in production to manufacture Products:

Asyst acknowledges that upside flexibility may be dependent upon Manufacturer's
ability to achieve Vendor Managed Inventory implementation of materials and
components. Excess material caused by a reschedule or cancellation will be
subject to the provisions in Section 4.

               3.6    Manufacturer will notify Asyst in writing immediately
after Manufacturer becomes aware of a reasonable likelihood that there is or
will be a materials or capacity constraint that could negatively affect
Manufacturer's ability to meet any existing or forecasted needs under this
Agreement for Product(s) ("Supply Constraint"). During any period of Supply
Constraint, Manufacturer agrees to allocate materials and capacity to Asyst and
Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries under whichever of the following formulas
would give them the greatest quantity of Products: (i) [*] to their [*] of all
of Manufacturer's customer orders for the previous [*] months for Products which
use the scarce materials or capacity; (ii) [*] to their [*] of all of
Manufacturer's customer forecasts for the same or similar products that use the
same scarce materials or capacity; or (iii) any [*] which Manufacturer uses [*].

               3.7    Manufacturer will ensure that the amount of finished goods
inventory, work in process, components and materials on hand is limited to that
amount that is required to support the agreed upon lead times and the maximum
allowable increased quantities that are set forth in the above schedule in
Section 3.5 of this Agreement (collectively "Inventory"). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the costs incurred by Manufacturer for any purchases
or the manufacture of components and materials beyond that required for the
Inventory will be borne by Manufacturer. Within sixty (60) days after the
Effective Date and a quarterly basis thereafter, Manufacturer will provide Asyst
with a [*] plan to require vendors that supply components to Manufacturer to be
part of a Vendor Managed Inventory program. Manufacturer will use commercially
reasonable efforts to establish and maintain contractual arrangements with key
suppliers to include components and materials that are intended for use in the
Products in Manufacturer's then-current Vendor Managed Inventory program, and
Asyst will provide reasonable cooperation and appropriate involvement in such
efforts.

               3.8    The Parties acknowledge that certain components intended
for inclusion in Products are subject to ordering lead times in excess of [*]
days ("LONG LEAD TIME COMPONENTS"), which components are identified in the list
set forth on Attachment C ("Long Lead Time Components"). From time to time and
during the term of the Agreement on at least a [*] basis, Manufacturer will
provide written updates to such list of the Long Lead Time Components to Asyst
for Asyst's review and acceptance. Any updates that are requested by
Manufacturer to the list of Long Lead Time Components must be approved in
writing by Asyst. Any update that Manufacturer requests will be deemed to be
accepted by Asyst unless Manufacturer is notified in writing by Asyst of its
objection to such update within [*] days after Asyst receives the requested
update from Manufacturer. If Asyst refuses to accept such update to the list of
Long Lead Time Components, then, notwithstanding Manufacturer's obligations to
accept purchase orders and deliver Products under this Agreement to Asyst,
Manufacturer shall be entitled to reject subsequent purchase orders from Asyst
that it cannot fulfill because it does not have the necessary Long Lead Time
Components on hand, but would have otherwise had

them on hand had Asyst not objected to Manufacturer's requested update to the
list of Long Lead Time Components.

        4.     Excess Material Finished goods and raw material liability will be
evaluated [*] as or as mutually agreed by the Parties. Liability will be
assessed in accordance with Section 4.5 to Asyst following identification of [*]
Excess Inventory and [*] Excess Inventory as defined in Sections 4.1 and 4.2,
respectively, and identified in Section 4.4 below.

               4.1    "[*] EXCESS INVENTORY" is defined as those: (a) components
and materials of Manufacturer which are on hand or are
Non-cancelable/non-returnable material on order that (i) are to be used in
Products, (ii) are not classified as Long Lead Time Components, and (iii) are in
excess of [*] days of demand as identified in purchase orders, which have been
supplied to Manufacturer under this Agreement, and (b) Long Lead Time Components
of Manufacturer which are on hand or are non-cancelable/non-returnable material
that (i) are to be used in Products, (ii) Asyst has authorized Manufacturer to
purchase in accordance with Section 3.8, and (ii) are in excess of those
portions of Asyst's forecasts encompassing units that contain such Long Lead
Time Components, but in all cases excluding from subsections 4.1(a) and 4.1(b)
above any and all components and materials or Non-cancelable/non-returnable
material on order that are classified as Existing Component Parts or [*] Excess
Inventory.

               4.2    "[*] EXCESS INVENTORY" is defined as components and
materials of Manufacturer which are on hand or are non-cancelable/non-returnable
material on order that may have been previously classified as [*] Excess
Inventory, have not been used in Products or otherwise sold by Manufacturer, and
are in excess of [*] days of demand as identified in Asyst's forecasts, but in
all cases excluding from subsections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) above any and all
components and materials or Non-cancelable/non-returnable material on order that
are classified as Existing Component Parts.

               4.3    "NON-CANCELABLE/NON-RETURNABLE MATERIAL" are those
components of Manufacturer for which Manufacturer has negotiated agreements, or
Manufacturer has assumed agreement obligations negotiated by Asyst, with
suppliers that do not provide for the return and/or cancellation of such
components without the payment by Manufacturer of more than a nominal charge,
but in all cases excluding Existing Component Parts.

               4.4    Manufacturer will determine if there is [*] Excess
Inventory or [*] Excess Inventory against the demand and flexibility
requirements of Asyst and Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries that are set forth
in Section 3.5 of this Agreement and, if Manufacturer so determines, then
Manufacturer will provide promptly all such relevant information to Asyst [*].
Any liability for [*] Excess Inventory and [*] Excess Inventory will be
determined in accordance with Section 4.5 for such [*] Excess Inventory and [*]
Excess Inventory that Manufacturer cannot reduce by mitigation per standard
purchasing practices and as required under Section 4.7.

of the inventory within [*] days of notification, at current material cost plus
(i) a [*] cost of acquisition for material or components purchased by
Manufacturer, or (ii) a [*] cost of manufacture for material or components
manufactured by Manufacturer.

               4.6    All Existing Component Parts that are acquired by
Manufacturer from Asyst pursuant to Section 1.4 will be used by Manufacturer for
production requirements or otherwise sold by Manufacturer as spare parts to
Asyst and Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries. Manufacturer will use its best
efforts to absorb promptly into production or otherwise sell all such Existing
Component Parts. Any Existing Component Parts that are not absorbed by
Manufacturer into its production or otherwise sold by Manufacturer within [*]
months will be considered as excess, and will be subject to a [*] per month
carrying charge. Such Existing Component Parts that are not absorbed into
Manufacturer's production or otherwise sold by Manufacturer within an additional
[*] months thereafter (i.e., total elapsed time of [*] days) will be immediately
repurchased by Asyst at the same allocated price that Manufacturer previously
paid to Asyst for such Existing Component Parts.

               4.7    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of
a cancellation by Asyst of a purchase order, issuance by Asyst of a Stop
Production Notice, engineering change orders, purges, approved vendor list
disqualification, end of life notice or forecast reduction, Manufacturer shall
take the actions indicated below upon written request from Asyst to do so. Upon
receipt by Manufacturer of such notice from Asyst, Manufacturer shall do the
following:

                      4.7.1  Immediately reduce/cancel its outstanding purchase
orders for components and raw materials by the quantities in excess of those
needed to meet Asyst's requirements.

                      4.7.2  Discontinue upside support positioning.

                      4.7.3  [*] inventory of materials that Manufacturer may
reasonably claim it was required to purchase in order to comply with Asyst's
delivery requirements and in-line with the appropriate quantity of Asyst-unique
economic order quantities and Long Lead Time Components inventory (the "ASYST
Inventory"). Asyst reserves the right, at its option, to perform an audit of the
Asyst Inventory. Asyst's liability to pay, reimburse, or otherwise compensate
Manufacturer for Asyst Inventory shall not exceed the maximum Asyst Inventory
that was reasonably required to obtain in order to fulfill Asyst's purchase
orders.

                      4.7.4  Use commercially reasonable efforts to return the
components to suppliers to Manufacturer at the same price at which they were
purchased.

                      4.7.5  Use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the
components to a third party subject to written approval by Asyst, at a price
acceptable to Asyst. Asyst shall reimburse Manufacturer for the difference
between Manufacturer's purchase price (plus the cost of acquisition not to
exceed [*]) and the Asyst-approved price at which it sold the component to a
third party. If the sales price exceeds Manufacturer's component purchase price,
then the excess shall first be applied to offset any obligation of Asyst under
this paragraph and any excess thereafter shall be retained by Manufacturer.
Except as may be mutually agreed otherwise, Asyst agrees that Manufacturer is
not required to continue mitigation of Asyst material and component liabilities
beyond a [*]-day period from the date of initial written notification from
Manufacturer to Asyst of any potential material liability under Section 4.5.

                      4.7.6  Rework Asyst Inventory, at Asyst's request, at a
mutually agreed upon price and schedule.

                      4.7.8  Use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
Asyst documentation, reasonably satisfactory to Asyst, within [*] business days
after completion of mitigation activities indicating the quantities and kind of
Asyst Inventory that Manufacturer has not resold, reused or redirected to other
use, or is not able to resell or otherwise use. Such documentation shall include
mitigation activities undertaken by Manufacturer.

                      4.7.9  Subsequent to Manufacturer's efforts under Sections
4.7.1 through 4.7.8 above Asyst shall respond in detail regarding to
Manufacturer's claim for reimbursement or compensation within [*] days after
receipt of the documentation. Asyst shall pay any undisputed portion of
Manufacturer's claim within [*] days of receipt of the claim.

               4.8    Asyst or any of Asyst's affiliates or subsidiaries may,
from time to time, request the cancellation of all or any part of a purchase
order prior to shipment of any units of Products that are the subject of the
purchase order. If any such cancellation arises or results from the failure by
Manufacturer to perform in any material respect its obligations under this
Agreement in connection with the shipment of such units under such purchase
order, and such failure results in the cancellation of an order by a customer
with Asyst or any of Asyst's affiliates or subsidiaries, then Asyst and Asyst's
affiliates and subsidiaries shall not be liable to Manufacturer for any
cancellation or other charges associated with the cancellation of such purchase
order with Manufacturer. For any other cancellation of a purchase order, the
Parties agrees to negotiate, in good faith, the cost to Asyst of such
cancellation for which Asyst will be liable. Except as otherwise provided in the
second sentence of this Section 4.8, Asyst's liability for cancellation charges
for such purchase orders shall not exceed (a) for that quantity of finished
Products scheduled for delivery, the Product price; and (b) for that quantity of
components and materials intended for inclusion in Products to be manufactured
for delivery to Asyst within applicable leadtimes, the current material cost for
such items plus (i) a [*] cost of acquisition for

components and materials purchased by Manufacturer, or (ii) a [*] cost of
manufacture for components and materials internally manufactured by
Manufacturer.

        5.0    Payment Terms and Audit Rights

               5.1    Asyst agrees to payment terms, from date of invoice or
shipment date whichever is later, of [*] days for the first [*] months of this
Agreement, and [*] days at all times thereafter for amounts due under this
Agreement. All undisputed amounts due will be paid within such time frames upon
receipt by Asyst or the applicable Asyst affiliate or subsidiary of a proper
invoice from Manufacturer. All amounts that are due under this Agreement from
Asyst or any Asyst affiliate or subsidiary will be invoiced by Manufacturer in
U.S. Dollars, and such amounts will be paid by Asyst or such Asyst affiliate or
subsidiary to Manufacturer in U.S. Dollars.

               5.2    Asyst shall have the right, during normal business hours
and upon reasonable written notice to inspect and audit, either directly or
through an authorized representative, Manufacturer's processes as they relate to
the manufacture and delivery to Asyst of Products. Promptly upon request by
Asyst, Manufacturer will provide to Asyst (a) accurate and complete details of
all actual material costs incurred through the entire manufacturing process for
the Products, and (b) non-confidential records for Asyst to verify such costs.

        6.     Delivery and Stop Notices

               6.1    If Products are manufactured outside of the United States,
Asyst shall be responsible for all actions necessary to import and export of the
Products into the United States, including compliance with applicable laws and
regulations and payment of all required duties, fees and charges. Manufacturer
shall provide, at no additional charge, reasonable cooperation to Asyst,
including the provision of all necessary information for the exportation of the
Products. Deliveries originating inside or outside the United States will be
made FCA (Incoterms 2000) Manufacturer's facility unless otherwise agreed in
writing by Asyst and Manufacturer.

               6.2    Manufacturer will use commercially reasonable efforts to
support processes of Asyst that provide for shipment of Products from
Manufacturer's point of manufacture directly to Asyst's point of consumption,
e.g., Asyst direct end-users.

               6.3    Manufacturer will use its best commercial efforts to
establish and maintain a supply side relationship with Manufacturer's vendors
where a [*]-day supply of Vendor Managed Inventory of components and materials
will be kept to produce Products by Manufacturer, and a maximum of [*]-day
liability will be obtained for non-cancellable and non-returnable components and
materials that are to be used in Products.

               6.4    If Manufacturer fails to meet the delivery requirements of
Asyst's and Asyst's affiliates or subsidiaries, in whole or part, under this
Agreement and such failure results in a delay by Asyst or Asyst's affiliates in
the delivery of Products to customers, then Manufacturer will take all
appropriate actions, at Manufacturer's own expense, to attempt to

<PAGE>

resolve such failure and reduce the likelihood of such similar failures in the
future. Such actions may include the establishment of inventory buffers or
incremental capacity, performance of overtime work and such other actions that
are reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.

               6.5    If Manufacturer is unable to deliver the total quantity of
Products ordered on the scheduled delivery date, Manufacturer shall notify Asyst
promptly, and Asyst may, at its sole option, consent to partial delivery. If
Asyst does not consent, Asyst may: (i) reschedule the delivery; or (ii) if such
partial delivery is due to fault of Manufacturer and Asyst loses customer orders
as a result of such delay, cancel the affected portion of the order without any
further obligation to Manufacturer. Partial deliveries shall be separately
invoiced by Manufacturer.

               6.6    If Manufacturer fails to deliver Products to Asyst or
Asyst's subsidiaries or affiliates within the delivery times established in
binding purchase orders, at the request of Asyst or any Asyst affiliate or
subsidiary, Manufacturer shall bear the costs of expedited delivery of such
Products from Manufacturer's facility to the applicable customer of Asyst or
Asyst's affiliate or subsidiary.

               6.7    Asyst may direct in writing Manufacturer to stop the
production of Products during any stage of the manufacturing process (a "STOP
PRODUCTION NOTICE"). Asyst shall have the right to direct Manufacturer to
prepare Products up through a particular level of the manufacturing process and
to hold such partially completed Products pending modifications to be
implemented as a result of error correction activities. If a Stop Production
Notice from Asyst is not due to Manufacturer's negligence or a failure to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, then Asyst shall be responsible
for the actual and reasonable costs incurred by Manufacturer as a result of such
Stop Production Notice. Asyst shall, however, not be liable for any overtime
charges or additional costs arising from component product price variances which
are incurred by Manufacturer or its agents or subcontractors due to factors
attributable to the Manufacturer's negligence or failure to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.

               6.8    Asyst reserves the right to refuse delivery of any
quantity of Products in excess of those specified in its purchase orders and/or
any delivery made more than five (5) days in advance of a requested delivery
date. Asyst may, at its option, return such quantities freight collect or may,
at its option, retain such units with payment therefore deferred until such
payment would have otherwise become due.

        7.     New Product Introduction Development Services and Engineering
Changes.

               7.1    Upon written request by Asyst, Manufacturer will provide
        new product introduction development services to Asyst at mutually
        agreed upon dates and times and a negotiated rate or fee, which rate or
        fee shall not exceed the standard rate or fee that Manufacturer charges
        to other parties for the same or similar type of services in connection
        with other new product introduction development arrangements. Any such
        new product introduction development services will be provided by
        Manufacturer to Asyst in accordance with the

processes and procedures, and service level agreement applicable to such
processes and procedures, in Attachment P ("Development and Engineering Change
Requirements").

               7.2    "ENGINEERING CHANGE" means a mechanical, electrical, piece
part or subassembly design or Specifications change made to the Products or to
any manufacturing, assembly or testing method, procedure or process which, if
made, could affect the schedule, performance, reliability, availability,
serviceability, appearance, dimensions, tolerances, safety or costs
(collectively, the "CHARACTERISTICS") of or for a Product. Manufacturer will
receive, evaluate and implement Engineering Changes to the Products in
accordance with the processes and procedures set forth in Attachment P
("Development and Engineering Change Requirements") For each non-critical
Engineering Change requested by Asyst, Manufacturer will respond in writing
within [*] business days of receipt, with a preliminary impact report. For each
critical Engineering Change requested by Asyst, Manufacturer will respond in
writing within [*] business day of Asyst's written request. The response by
Manufacturer will state the cost savings or increase, any labor, inventory and
scrap material impact, if any, expected to be created by the requested
Engineering Change, and the effect on Product Characteristics and composition
and cost of the bill of materials for the Products. The Parties acknowledge that
such a response will be an initial indicator of potential cost impact pending a
more detailed review of liability. Such a detailed review will be completed by
Manufacturer and supplied to Asyst within [*] business days. If Asyst requests
for Manufacturer to incorporate an Engineering Change into Products, the
applicable Specifications will be amended as required, subject to mutual
agreement on any necessary reimbursement of Manufacturer's extra costs
(including labor, manufacturing supplies and inventory) incurred as a result
provided, however, if an Engineering Change is necessary as a result of the
fault of Manufacturer, then Manufacturer shall bear the entire cost of the
implementation of any such Engineering Change. Manufacturer shall not make or
incorporate any Engineering Changes to the Characteristics to or form a Product
without Asyst's prior written authorization.

        8.     Components, Tooling and Equipment

               8.1    If Asyst consigns any components or materials to
Manufacturer, the Parties shall agree upon inspection and handling procedures
prior to shipment of such components or materials to Manufacturer. Manufacturer
shall provide Asyst, on a quarterly basis, a reference list showing quantity on
hand of any consigned components.

               8.2    Upon request by Manufacturer, Asyst may pay Manufacturer
for Manufacturer's cost in acquiring or developing certain non-recurring
engineering tooling and/or fixtures used by Manufacturer to manufacture the
Products (the "NRE TOOLING") only if the cost of the NRE Tooling is approved in
advance and in writing by Asyst through the issuance by Asyst of a purchase
order or by some other written authorization from a representative of Asyst that
is authorized to provide such authorization. At its option, Asyst may provide
such NRE Tooling to Manufacturer under and subject to the terms of the Equipment
Loan Agreement set forth in Attachment D ("Equipment Loan Agreement").
Manufacturer hereby acknowledges and agrees that such terms apply to any such
loan of NRE Tooling made by Asyst to Manufacturer in connection with this
Agreement.

               8.3    Asyst will, at no cost to Manufacturer and pursuant to
Attachment D ("Equipment Loan Agreement"), loan certain test and tooling
equipment that Asyst owns or has the right to possess ("TEST EQUIPMENT") to
Manufacturer, solely for the purpose of permitting Manufacturer to perform
functional tests and repair on the Products that are to be supplied to Asyst and
Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries. Test Equipment that will be provided by
Asyst to Manufacturer for such purpose shall be listed in Attachment E ("Test
and Tooling Equipment"). Manufacturer shall (i) exercise reasonable care in the
use and custody of Test Equipment and use the Test Equipment solely for purposes
of performing its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) perform regular
maintenance on Test Equipment at no charge to Asyst, excluding replacement of
parts for which Asyst will be billed provided, however, that Asyst will not pay
for any replacement of parts which are damaged by Manufacturer, and (iii) with
prior written approval of Asyst, repair Test Equipment at a reasonable charge,
unless such Test Equipment was damaged by Manufacturer. Any required replacement
of non-repairable Test Equipment is subject to Asyst's prior verification of the
condition. Any reimbursement for any required calibration of Test Equipment
performed by Manufacturer will be as agreed by the Parties.

               8.4    All NRE tooling and Test Equipment are the exclusive
property of Asyst. Manufacturer shall not mortgage, pledge, assign or borrow
against, or otherwise create or attempt to create a security interest in, the
NRE Tooling and Test Equipment. Manufacturer shall return to Asyst, or assign at
Asyst's written direction, any or all of the NRE Tooling and Test Equipment upon
the effective date of the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement,
or receipt of Asyst's written request therefor. Upon written request by Asyst,
Manufacturer shall provide Asyst a written inventory list of all NRE Tooling and
Test Equipment in its possession within [*] business days after such request.

        9.     Quality and Other Requirements

               9.1    Manufacturer shall (i) manufacture, perform inspection,
functional and other tests on, and deliver to Asyst and Asyst's affiliates and

any quality inspection and/or test is to be performed or verified on
Manufacturer's premises by Asyst ("SOURCE INSPECTION"), Manufacturer shall
provide Asyst with access to Manufacturer's facilities and reasonable
assistance, at no additional charge, to conduct or verify such Source
Inspections.

               9.3    The shipment of rejected Products by Asyst to Manufacturer
shall be at Asyst's expense, and return shipment of Repaired or Replacement
Products shall be at Manufacturer's expense. Manufacturer shall place upon each
repaired Product an identifying mark that has been designated by Asyst to
indicate that such Products were repaired by Manufacturer pursuant to Asyst's
written requirements.

               9.4    Manufacturer represents and warrants that, as of the
Effective Date, it is certified to comply with ISO 9001 or higher level
standards. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Manufacturer will
maintain its compliance with ISO 9001 or higher level standards. Upon reasonable
written request, Manufacturer shall allow Asyst personnel and representatives
reasonable access to its manufacturing facility and such other places as the
Products may be stored for purposes of inspecting such facility, the equipment
used therein and the Products, both finished and in process of assembly or
manufacture.

               9.5    Manufacturer will use commercially reasonable efforts to
participate at an early stage in Asyst's planning cycle, to the extent that
Asyst requests such participation in writing. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, such participation may include the joint development of supply
plans with Asyst and the refinement of forecasts.

               9.6    Manufacturer will assist Asyst in developing all
system-level qualification and safety agency testing which is applicable to
Products sold to Asyst as provided in the Specifications.

               9.7    Manufacturing will implement and maintain recordkeeping
practices consistent with Manufacturer's then-current practices. Upon reasonable
written notice, Asyst shall be allowed to audit, or have an independent third
party audit, Manufacturer's quality records related to services provided to
Asyst under this Agreement.

               9.10   Should Manufacturer become aware of any quality issues,
design or manufacturing defect, or other issues affecting customer satisfaction,
whether Manufacturer or supplier-related, which may impact Manufacturer's
compliance with the manufacture of the Products to the Specifications, then
Manufacturer shall promptly notify Asyst in writing of the nature of such issues
and provide the known technical details. Asyst reserves the right to suspend
delivery of Products in accordance with Section 6.7 until resolution of such
issue.

               9.11   Manufacturer shall use its best commercial efforts to
achieve and maintain, at all times, a [*] achievement rate during each calendar
month during the term of this Agreement for the following quality objectives:

                      9.11.1 "ONTIME DELIVERY": Units of Products are delivered
on-time to Asyst and Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries as to their requested
location of delivery and requested delivery dates during each calendar month;

                      9.11.2 "SHIPMENT ACCURACY": Units of Products are properly
packed and packaged in accordance with the Specifications and are complete with
respect to items requested for inclusion by Asyst in each shipment intended for
delivery to a customer; and

                      9.11.3 "OUT OF BOX QUALITY": Products that are delivered
are capable of being installed and fully and immediately operational using
normal Asyst installation procedures. Asyst will perform measurements of
Manufacturer's achievement of such objectives on a monthly basis and, upon
written request, will provide such findings to Manufacturer.

               9.14   Asyst and Aysts's customers may desire access to
Manufacturer's facilities to qualify or review such facilities as plants of
manufacture for the Products. Upon receipt of any such request for access and
subject to the execution of any facility required non-disclosure agreement,
Manufacture will arrange for and permit access to such plants during normal
business hours within a reasonable period after Manufacturer's receipt of such
request.

               9.15   During the term of this Agreement, Asyst and Manufacturer
will, unless agreed otherwise, hold daily production review meetings, monthly
operation review meetings and quarterly business review meetings. The venue and
agenda for each of these meetings will be reasonably determined by Asyst.
Detailed records of the outcomes of these meetings will be prepared and
maintained by the Parties throughout the term of this Agreement.

        10.    Pricing, Transition Payments and Cost Reductions

               10.1   Manufacturer's pricing model is set forth in Attachment G
("Pricing Schedule"). The prices shall be in U.S. Dollars and other than customs
duty or clearance charges, shall include all federal, state, municipal, or
government value-added, excise, sales, withholding, transfer, use, occupational
or like taxes now or then in force and effect. All prices shall include the cost
of packaging and labeling in accordance with the Bill of Materials. The Parties
shall review such prices on a quarterly basis and shall make any adjustments
necessary to such prices to be competitive with other third party bids and
Manufacturer's own actual manufacturing costs

based on the baseline pricing model in Attachment G ("Pricing Schedule") Any
price changes must be agreed upon in writing by the Parties.

               10.2   Manufacturer will use its best commercial efforts to
pursue cost improvement opportunities for each and every element of price to
reduce the cost of the Products, including recommending design or process
changes, or new sources which may result in an overall cost reduction. During
the term of this Agreement, each Party agrees to provide adequate resources to
support the qualification of any design or alternate AVL suggestions offered by
the other Party. For a period of [*] days following [*] of any such new sources
and subsequent to [*] of inventory, [*] or [*] changes recommended by
Manufacturer and approved by Asyst, the Parties will [*] any resulting reduction
in cost. Thereafter, Manufacturer shall pass on to Asyst [*] of all such cost
reductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
Manufacturer shall pass on to Asyst [*] of all cost reductions resulting from
(a) [*] or [*] changes recommended by Asyst, and (b) [*] established solely by
Asyst with any third parties for materials or components included in the
Products, including materials or components consigned by Asyst to Manufacturer
for inclusion in the Products, which [*] will be implemented for that inventory
affected by such [*] or [*] changes or changes in [*].

               10.3   Manufacturer will implement and provide under this
Agreement to Asyst and Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries that purchase
Products under this Agreement an aggregate [*] reduction in the total costs of
manufacture for Products against the baseline pricing model, set forth in
Attachment G ("Pricing Schedule"). However, this cost reduction will not be
applied by Manufacturer to the Existing Component Parts portion that are
included in the Products. The cost reductions will take effect thirty (30) days
after the end of the Transition Period (end of the Transition Period is
estimated to be March 31, 2003). The allocation of such reduction in pricing to
each individual Product will be determined by the end of the Transition Period
taking into consideration the forecasted volumes to achieve the committed
aggregate cost reduction.

               10.4   Beyond the initial cost reductions in Section 10.3,
Manufacturer will use its best commercial efforts to obtain the following cost
reductions in Products to be supplied to Asyst and Asyst's affiliates and
subsidiaries hereunder:

                      10.4.1 [*] for year two (i.e., the year that begins on the
annual anniversary of the Effective Date and ends one (1) year immediately
thereafter) on raw materials and components subject to migration to
Manufacturer's preferred vendor list; and

                      10.4.2 [*] reduction in assembly hours due to gains in
efficiency upon completion of transition and reasonable period for production

ordinances or any third party agreements.

               11.4   In the event that any Product manufactured shall not be in
conformity with the foregoing warranties, Manufacturer shall, at Manufacturer's
sole expense, replace, repair or correct the nonconformity in such Product or,
if such actions are not commercially practicable, then credit or refund, the
purchase price paid under this Agreement for such Product. Asyst agrees to pay a
reasonable screening fee and actually incurred transportation charges for
assemblies submitted for warranty work that are not packed appropriately, do not
duplicate the alleged failure when tested by Manufacturer (i.e., no trouble
found charges), or are to be tested against a later version of test software
provided by Asyst, if any, than was used at the time of manufacture.

               19.3   Independent Contractors. The Parties to this Agreement are
independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture or
employee-employer relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Neither
Party has the authority to contract for or bind the other in any manner
whatsoever. This agreement confers no rights upon either Party except those
rights expressly granted herein.

               19.4   Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and all disputes hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California excluding any choice of law provisions that would result in
the application of the laws of some other state. The Superior Court of Santa
Clara County and/or the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over all controversies
in connection herewith. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to this
Agreement.

               19.5   Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any
failure or delay in its performance under this Agreement due to acts of God,
acts of civil or military authority, fires, floods, earthquakes, riots, wars,
terrorism or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the delayed Party
provided that the delayed Party: (i) gives the other Party written notice of
such cause immediately upon discovery of the event; and (ii) uses its reasonable
efforts to remedy such delay in its performance.

               19.6   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. If this Agreement is executed in counterparts, no signatory hereto
shall be bound until both Parties named below have duly executed or caused to be
executed a counterpart of this Agreement.

               19.7   Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are
declared to be severable. In the event that any provision contained in this
Agreement shall be held to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions
shall be given full effect, and the Parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, a
substitute valid provision which most nearly approximates the Parties' intent.

               19.8.  Waiver. Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly
any right under this Agreement will not constitute a continuing waiver or any
expectation on non-enforcement.

               19.9   Construction. The headings and titles of this Agreement
are for convenience only and will not in any way affect the interpretation of
any section or of the Agreement itself. As used in this Agreement, the word
"including" means "including but not limited to." Each Party represents that it
has had an opportunity to participate in the preparation of this Agreement, and
any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved
against the drafting Party shall not be applied in connection with the
construction or interpretation of this Agreement. For the purposes of this
Agreement, the word `will" shall be equivalent to "shall," both of which
describe an act or forebearance which is mandatory under

                                      37.

this Agreement. The word "may" describes an act or forebearance which is
optional under this Agreement. The meaning for those words that are highlighted
in bold print within quotation marks ("") within this Agreement or otherwise set
forth in Attachment Q ("Defined Terms") shall have the same meaning when used
elsewhere within this Agreement.

               19.10  Attorney's Fees. In the event of litigation arising out of
this Agreement or its enforcement by either Party, the prevailing Party shall be
entitled to recover as part of any judgement, reasonable attorney's fees and
court costs.

               19.11  Publicity. Neither Party shall publicize or disclose the
existence of the relationship of the Parties arising out of or the terms and
conditions of this Agreement to anyone other than its attorneys, lenders or
other professional advisors that are bound by confidentiality obligations,
except (a) pursuant to a mutually approved press release or as otherwise
approved by the other Party in writing; (b) in connection with a contemplated
financing, public offering or acquisition of such Party (provided that any third
party to whom the terms of this Agreement are to be disclosed signs a
confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other Party hereto
before such disclosure is made); and (c) as may be required by law or legal
process (provided that the Party required to make such disclosure cooperates
with the other Party in seeking confidential treatment or otherwise seeking to
limit or contest such mandatory disclosure in any lawful manner). Manufacturer
hereby expressly consents to (i) the issuance of an initial press release by
Asyst that acknowledges the existence and nature of and certain terms of this
Agreement subject to Manufacturer's right of prior review and approval of the
content of such press release, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned by Manufacturer, and (ii) the public disclosure by Asyst
and Asyst's affiliates and subsidiaries to third parties of the existence and
broad terms of this Agreement provided that, unless otherwise agreed in writing
by the Parties, such disclosures are limited in scope to the existence and
nature of this Agreement, the Agreement's [*]-year term, and the specific
production facilities of Manufacturing that are to be used after the Transition
Period.

               19.12  Affiliates

                      19.12.1 Solectron Corporation shall be jointly and

Business Headquarters.

                      19.12.2 The affiliates and subsidiaries of Asyst shall
have the right to issue purchase orders to Manufacturer for the fulfillment of
Products under this Agreement. Upon receipt thereof, Manufacturer shall fulfill
such purchase orders under the same procurement terms and conditions of this
Agreement as if each such purchaser has submitted such purchase orders in the
name of Asyst. Manufacturer shall invoice and look to such affiliates and
subsidiaries for payment for any such purchases. All purchases made by any such
affiliates and subsidiaries of Asyst shall be aggregated for the purpose of
determining pricing for Products under this Agreement.

<PAGE>

                      19.12.3 Asyst shall be jointly and severally liable for
all activities conducted under this Agreement by such subsidiaries and
affiliates. If any such affiliates or subsidiaries of Asyst fail to pay any
amount due on a timely basis, Manufacturer shall notify Asyst in writing and
Asyst will be responsible for payment of such amount due.

               19.13  Order of Precedence. The base terms of this Agreement and
the Attachments will be construed and interpreted together to accomplish the
intended purposes of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency
between the base provisions of this Agreement and those of the Attachments, the
base provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and govern over those provisions
in any Attachments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pricing methodologies set
forth in Attachment G ("Pricing Schedule") shall prevail and govern over any
inconsistent pricing methodologies in the base terms of this Agreement if they
yield a lower purchase cost to Asyst for Products that may be purchased under
this Agreement.

               19.14  Third Party Beneficiaries. Unless otherwise expressly
provided, no provisions of this Agreement are intended or shall be construed to
confer upon or give to any person or entity other than Asyst and Asyst's
affiliates and subsidiaries any rights, remedies or other benefits under or by
reason of this Agreement.

               19.15  Modification. No alteration, amendment or modification to
any term and condition of this Agreement shall be valid or binding on either
Party unless the same shall have been mutually assented to in writing by both
Parties.

        20.    Dispute Resolution

               20.1   In the spirit of continued cooperation, the Parties intend
to and hereby establish the following dispute resolution procedure to be
utilized in the unlikely event a dispute should arise out of or concerning the
performance of this Agreement.

               20.2   Subject to the provisions of Section 20.4, it is the
intent of the Parties that any dispute be resolved informally and promptly
through good faith negotiation between Manufacturer and Asyst. Either Party may
initiate negotiation proceedings by written notice to the other Party setting
forth the particulars of the dispute. The Parties agree to meet or confer in
good faith to jointly define the scope and a method to remedy the dispute. If
these proceedings do not promptly produce a resolution, then either Party may
choose to escalate the problem to senior management.

               20.3   Should any disputes remain between the Parties after
completion of the resolution process set forth above in Section 20.2, or in any
event more than [*] days have passed following a Party's receipt of an initial
written notice of dispute from the other Party, whichever occurs first, then
either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, request that the matter
be submitted for non-binding mediation with an independent mediator agreed to by
the Parties. Such mediator will be chosen by the Parties within [*] days after
written notice by either Party to the other demanding mediation. Neither Party
shall unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to the selection of
a mediator. Each Party will bear its own attorney's fees and other


[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS
AMENDED.


                                      39.
<PAGE>

costs and expenses of the mediation, and each Party will equally share the cost
of the mediator's fees. If the matter is not resolved by mediation within [*]
days of the initial written request for mediation, then the matter then may be
submitted to the appropriate court of law for a determination.

               20.4   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
20, each Party shall have the right to seek and obtain at any time, without
first attempting to resolve any dispute through non-binding mediation with the
other Party (a) temporary or permanent equitable or injunctive relief with
respect to any matter; or (b) relief to to enforce any of its Intellectual
Property Rights. Additionally, the foregoing provisions in this Section 20 shall
not serve to limit, restrict or prevent either Party from exercising any right
of termination that is possesses under this Agreement, or Asyst from obtaining
Products from other sources in the event that Manufacturer fails to meet any of
the requirements set forth in Section 18.2(b) or otherwise fails to fulfill in
all respects Asyst's requirements under this Agreement for Products.

        21.    Business Continuity Plan. Upon request by Asyst, Manufacturer
agrees to provide to Asyst documented evidence of a business continuity plan for
the manufacture and delivery of the Products to assure Manufacturer's capability
to provide the Products in the agreed upon timeframe after an event which may
materially and adversely affect Manufacturer's ability to deliver Products to
Manufacturer as scheduled. Such event may include one or more of the following:
(i) Manufacturer system component failures (including hard disk failure,
computer virus, and local area network outages); (ii) natural or man-made
disasters (including fire, flood, earthquake, bombing, sabotage, and vandalism);
(iii) any work stoppages of any kind; and (iv) any failure of a Manufacturer
subcontractor to provide materials. This plan will also include development of
alternate sourcing strategies for materials; redirection of Product manufacture,
including work in progress and finished goods to another Manufacturer
location/facility (subject to qualification by Asyst) A copy of Manufacturer's
current business continuity plan for the Products, as it exists as of the
Effective Date, is attached to this Agreement as Attachment J ("Business
Continuity Plan"). Upon written approval of Manufacturer which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Asyst may provide a copy of such
plan to its customers. In no event shall Manufacturer increase any Product costs
under this Agreement as a result of business continuity plans or as a result of
the implementation of such.

        22.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement includes the below-listed
Attachments and constitutes the entire agreement between Manufacturer and Asyst
relating to its subject matter hereof. It supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, conditions,
representations and warranties and prevails over any conflicting or additional
terms or communications between the Parties relating to its subject matter
during the term of this Agreement.

                            EQUIPMENT LOAN AGREEMENT

        THIS EQUIPMENT LOAN AGREEMENT ("LOAN AGREEMENT") is made effective as of
the Effective Date of the Manufacturing Agreement, as defined below, and is by
and between Asyst Technologies, Inc. ("ASYST"), having a principal place of
business at 48761 Kato Road, Fremont, California, 94538 USA and Solectron
Corporation ("MANUFACTURER"), having a principal place of business at 847
Gibraltar Drive, Milpitas, California 95035.

In consideration of the shipment by Asyst of the Equipment referred to below and
receipt thereof by Manufacturer, the Parties agree that the terms and conditions
below shall govern the loan of the Asyst Products, Tooling and/or Test Equipment
listed on the attached Equipment Schedule ("EQUIPMENT") by Asyst to
Manufacturer.

        1.     Asyst agrees to deliver to Manufacturer the Equipment for the
period commencing upon [*] and terminating upon [*] by and between Manufacturer
and Asyst (the "MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT") (the "LOAN PERIOD"). Manufacturer
shall utilize the Equipment in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Loan Agreement solely for purpose of performing its obligations under the
Manufacturing Agreement.

        2.     Delivery of all Equipment shall be made F.O.B. Asyst's
manufacturing facility. Risk of loss of, or damage to, the Equipment shall pass
to Manufacturer upon Asyst's delivery of Equipment to common carrier and shall
remain with Manufacturer until the Equipment is returned to Asyst. In no event
will Manufacturer's liability for loss or damage to Equipment exceed the
replacement value for such Equipment. Title to and ownership of the Equipment
are and shall at all times remain with Asyst. Manufacturer shall not perform any
act inconsistent with Asyst's title to and ownership of the Equipment. All
software, documentation or any information disclosed pursuant to the terms of
this Loan Agreement are confidential and proprietary to Asyst or its licensors
and shall not be reproduced or copied by Manufacturer except as authorized
herein, and Manufacturer shall not use the software, documentation, Equipment or
any information disclosed hereunder except as expressly authorized herein. In no
event, whether expressly, by implication or otherwise, are any Asyst proprietary
rights granted hereunder as to or related to the Equipment or to any other Asyst
products or any enhancements or modifications. Manufacturer acknowledges that
any unauthorized use or disclosure of any of such information would seriously
harm Asyst's competitive position. Nothing herein shall be construed as granted
Manufacturer a license under any patent, patent application, trade secret,
trademark, or copyright which Asyst may have or obtain relating to the Equipment
or Asyst's other products, whether announced or proposed.

        3.     During the term of the Loan Period, Asyst grants to Manufacturer
a worldwide, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable, limited license, without
the right to sublicense, to use the object form of the software included with
the Equipment only as expressly authorized in Section 1 of this Loan Agreement
and in the Manufacturing Agreement. Manufacturer agrees that Manufacturer will
not pledge, lease, rent, or share Manufacturer's rights under this Loan
Agreement, and that Manufacturer will not, without Asyst's prior written
consent, assign or

transfer Manufacturer's rights hereunder. Manufacturer agrees that Manufacturer
may not decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, modify, or otherwise translate
the software or permit a third party to do so and that Manufacturer shall not
make the software available to any other third party, or to create works
derivative of the software, without Asyst's express written consent.
Manufacturer may make one copy of the software per manufacturing location and
the user documentation for backup purposes. Any such copies of the software or
the documentation shall include Asyst's copyright and other proprietary notices.
Except as authorized under this paragraph, no copies of the software or any
portions thereof may be made by Manufacturer or any person under Manufacturer's
authority or control.

        4.     Manufacturer is responsible for installation and deinstallation
of the Equipment. Asyst agrees to provide reasonable installation and
deinstallation support. The Equipment shall at all times remain at the location
specified on the attached Equipment Schedule.

        5.     At the expiration of the Loan Period (unless earlier terminated)
the Equipment and all related software, documentation, and copies thereof shall
be returned to Asyst in the same condition as delivered, normal wear and tear
excepted. Manufacturer shall pay for all costs of Equipment repair and/or
refurbishment beyond normal wear and tear resulting from damage caused by
Manufacturer, but no event to exceed the replacement value of the Equipment. No
modifications and/or additions shall be made to the-Equipment by Manufacturer
without Asyst`s prior written approval.

        6.     Asyst represents and warrants to its knowledge that the Equipment
will perform its intended function. Asyst accepts no responsibility to maintain
the Equipment, except for agreed to calibration costs. ASYST MAKES NO OTHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ASYST
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE DELIVERY, POSSESSION, USE OR
OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT.

        7.     In the event Manufacturer neglects or fails to perform any of its
obligations under this Loan Agreement and such default is not corrected to
Asyst's satisfaction within [*] days of receipt of Asyst's notice of such
default, then this Loan Agreement may be immediately terminated by Asyst. If the
Equipment becomes, or in Asyst's opinion likely to become, the subject of an
intellectual property infringement claim, this Loan Agreement shall immediately
terminate and Asyst, at its own cost and expense will remove the Equipment and
neither Party shall have any further liability to the other under this Loan
Agreement or otherwise, except that any delivery dates for Products may be
altered accordingly if such delivery is affected by such return of Equipment.

        8.     This Loan Agreement and rights and duties under it are not
assignable or delegatable. Any such attempted assignment or delegation shall
automatically be null and void. This Loan Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements concerning the subject matter herein and may not be changed or
modified except by a written communication signed by both Parties. This Loan
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement governing the Equipment specified
herein

between Asyst and Manufacturer and may not be modified or amended other than by
a written instrument executed by both Parties. This Loan Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, excluding any choice of
law principles that would result in the application of the laws of a different
state.

        9.     Asyst will provide [*] where required to the extent that it has
the right to do so without the payment of [*] to such [*].

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Loan Agreement has been executed by the duly
authorized representatives of the Parties.

                           ASSEMBLY/TEST REQUIREMENTS


The following items contain Asyst's assembly and test requirements for Products,
which requirements are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement: all
bills of material, development and engineering drawings and artwork,
manufacturing process instructions, quality records, reports and certifications,
clean room specifications and requirements, package and packing requirements,
assembly and test documentation, Specifications and other documented
requirements of Asyst for the Products within Asyst's product data management
system for the Products, as such items may be updated at any time and from time
to time by Asyst.

Upon written request by Manufacturer, access to such items will be made
available to Manufacturer by Asyst. Where possible, such access will be provided
based on part number and then-current revision levels. Manufacturer acknowledges
that prior to the Effective Date, it has had the opportunity to review all such
items that have been provided by Asyst, as they exist on the Effective Date.

Asyst may furnish, at any time and from time to time, to Manufacturer updates to
the foregoing documents. Such updates shall amend and become a part of this
Attachment unless Manufacturer objects in writing to any specific provisions in
such updates within [*] business days after receipt thereof. If Manufacturer
chooses to object to any such updates, it will provide in writing to Asyst its
specific objections in reasonable detail within such time frame, and the Parties
will thereafter promptly negotiate in good faith a reasonable solution to
resolve all such objections that may be raised by Manufacturer regarding such
updates.

                                PRICING SCHEDULE


ASSUMPTIONS:

Pricing is based on the potential achievement of purchases of Products,
including spare parts, over a rolling [*] period, which achievement will be
measured based on each [*] period commencing on the Effective Date provided,
however, for the first [*] of the Agreement, the initial pricing will be based
on the prior actual results and forecasted revenue through the end of such
quarters. A reconciliation will be performed of forecasted purchases to actual
purchases after each [*] period of actual Product purchase results. If there is
a balance due based on actual purchases, it will be invoiced by Manufacturer to
Asyst. If Asyst has overpaid monies to Manufacturer for purchases of Products
based on actual purchases, then Manufacturer shall immediately credit or refund,
at Asyst's option, such overage to Asyst.

                                  ATTACHMENT H

                       REPAIR AND REFURBISHMENT PROCEDURES

1.      Purpose. To define Manufacturer's responsibilities to Asyst for repair
and support. This document shall be used in conjunction with the Manufacturing
Services and Supply Agreement and Attachment L ("Supplier Quality
Requirements").

2.      Scope. This Attachment H ("Repair and Refurbishment Procedures"),
together with Attachment L ("Supplier Quality Requirements") to the extent
applicable, describes Asyst's requirements for worldwide support of Products
either by Manufacturer. Asyst's goal is to receive Products [*] on time and that
Products meet the quality requirements described in the Manufacturing Services
and Supply Agreement and Attachment L ("Supplier Quality Requirements").

3.      Definitions. For the purpose of interpretation of this Attachment, the
terms in this Attachment H ("Repair and Refurbishment Procedures") shall have
the same meaning as the definitions in Attachment Q ("Defined Terms," provided,
however, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

repair.

        3.2    "DISTRIBUTION CENTER" or "DC" shall mean a third party designated
by Asyst who processes returns on Products on Asyst's behalf.

        3.3    "ENGINEERING CHANGE ORDER" "ECO" shall mean the mechanism by
which a party notifies the other party of a change to the Products.

        3.4    "FIELD REPLACEABLE UNIT" "FRU" shall mean a Product or
subassemblies thereof which can be replaced at the customer site.

        3.5    "NO TROUBLE FOUND" or "NTF" shall mean a Product which Asyst has
returned as defective but which passes Manufacturer's standard test process (as
approved by Asyst). NTF does not include Products that incur ECO upgrades and/or
adjustments by Manufacturer.

        3.6    "PRODUCT" shall mean the Products as defined in Attachment Q

        4.2    [*]:

               4.2.1  For purposes of this Attachment, "EPIDEMIC FAILURES" shall
mean FRU failures which are related to the identical root cause occurring within
[*] months after the date of delivery of the FRU, equal to or in excess of the
rate (the "Failure Rate") agreed upon by the Parties, resulting from defects, in
workmanship, manufacturing process, or design (but specifically excluding
therefrom, any design or specification provided by Asyst).

               4.2.2  In the event of a suspected Epidemic Failure, Asyst shall
promptly notify Manufacturer, and shall provide the following information, if
known and as may then exist: (i) a description of the defect, (ii) the suspected

defective FRUs. Where possible, Asyst shall deliver or make available to
Manufacturer, samples of the defective Products for testing and analysis. Within
[*] days of receipt of written notice from Asyst, Manufacturer shall provide its
preliminary findings regarding the cause of the failures. Thereafter,
Manufacturer shall promptly provide the results of its root cause corrective
analysis, its proposed plan for the identification of and the repair and/or
replacement of the affected FRUs, and such other appropriate or desirable
information.

               4.2.3  The parties shall also cooperate and work together to

responsible for (a) (i) repair and/or replacement of the defective FRUs, or (ii)
a credit or payment to Asyst in an amount equal to the cost to Asyst for
qualified, nondefective replacement FRUs acceptable to Asyst; and (b) reasonable
freight and transportation costs incurred in connection with the repair and/or
replacement of the defective FRUs (and the Product in which the FRU is
incorporated if the FRU cannot be separated without undue inconvenience or
disruption to the end user).

        4.3    Product will be shipped to Asyst in a configuration defined by
the Product Specifications and BOMs.

        4.4    Repaired or Replacement Product will be upgraded by Manufacturer

        5.2    The serviceability requirements defined for any Product will be
based upon the base level Product serviceability requirements, which must
support the marketing and service delivery model of Asyst.

        5.3    As part of these serviceability requirements, the product, or
product concept, must be able to provide first fault isolation to a single FRU
by general availability (GA) of the product. If it can not, the service cost
estimates will reflect this lack of functionality.

6.      Price

        6.1    Except as otherwise provided in the Manufacturing Services and
Supply Agreement, there shall be no charge to Asyst for Warranty Repair Services
(including, but not limited to, labor, material testing or packaging) during the

        9.2    Upon request, Manufacturer shall provide Asyst with applicable
repair costs, replacement costs, lead times, changes in MTBF data and other
pertinent data points.

10.     No Trouble Found

        10.1   NTF charges that may become due and payable by Asyst to
Manufacturer are set forth in Exhibit H-2 to this Attachment H ("Repair and
Refurbishment Procedures").

        10.2   Regardless of whether or not a Product is determined to be NTF or
repaired, it must be upgraded by Manufacturer to a revision level accepted by
Asyst. NTF charges do not include the cost of upgrading any Product to a
revision level agreed upon by Asyst and Manufacturer. Upgrade charges, if any,
will be identified separately and agreed to by the Parties in advance of the
performance by Manufacturer of any requested upgrades.

11.     Inventory Management

        11.1   Manufacturer shall follow adequate procedures for the proper
control of returned units of Products. Record keeping shall include, but not be

within [*] working days after Asyst's initial request.

        11.3   Manufacturer shall be responsible for all Asyst owned Product
inventory variances in Manufacturers' possession. If Manufacturer is unable to
reconcile any inventory variance for Products in Manufacturer's possession,
Manufacturer shall be liable for the unaccounted inventory and will: (i) provide
Asyst a like unit or, (ii) upon Asyst's agreement, give Asyst full credit for
Asyst's replacement cost of the missing item within [*] days after discovery of
the variance.

12.     Third Party Repair

               12.1   Manufacturer acknowledges that Asyst or a third party
contracted by Asyst may, from time to time, perform warranty repairs at an end
user's location.

               12.2   Manufacturer agrees to reimburse Asyst for out of pocket
expenses associated with such warranty repair under the following conditions a)
the defect(s) was warranted under the provisions of Section 11 of the

of dealing and a course of performance accepted by the Parties in furtherance of
this Agreement and Document. The Parties agree not to contest the validity or
enforceability of Signed Documents under the provisions of any applicable law
relating to whether certain agreements be in writing or signed by the Party to
be bound thereby. Signed Documents, if introduced as evidence on paper in any
judicial, arbitration, mediation or administrative proceedings, will be
admissible as between the Parties to the same extent and under the same
conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary
form. Neither Party shall contest the admissibility of copies of Signed
Documents under the business records exception to the hearsay rule or the best
evidence rule on the basis that Signed Documents were not originated or
maintained in documentary form.
