amounts owed by a Party under this Agreement are stated, calculated and shall be
paid in United States Dollars ($ U.S.).

     

    4.3 Interest.  Any
amounts payable to Micron hereunder and not paid within the time period provided
shall accrue interest, from the time such payment was due until the time payment
is actually received, at the rate of [***], or the highest rate permitted by
Applicable Law, whichever is lower.

     

    4.4 Taxes.

     

    (a) All
sales, use and other transfer Taxes imposed directly on or solely as a result of
the services or technology transfers or the payments therefor provided herein
shall be stated separately on the service provider’s or technology transferor’s
invoice, collected from the service provider or technology transferor and shall
be remitted by service provider or technology transferor to the appropriate
Taxing Authority (“Recoverable
Taxes”), unless the service recipient or technology transferee provides
valid proof of tax exemption prior to the Effective Date or otherwise as
permitted by law prior to the time the service provider or technology transferor
is required to pay such taxes to the appropriate Taxing
Authority.  When property is delivered and/or services are provided or
the benefit of services occurs within jurisdictions in which collection and
remittance of Taxes by the service recipient or technology transferee is
required by law, the service recipient or technology transferee shall have sole
responsibility for payment of said Taxes to the appropriate Taxing
Authority.  In the event any Taxes are Recoverable Taxes and the
service provider or technology transferor does not collect such Taxes from the
service recipient or technology transferee or pay such Taxes to the appropriate
Governmental Entity on a timely basis, and is subsequently audited by any Taxing
Authority, liability of the service recipient or technology transferee will be
limited to the Tax assessment for such Recoverable Taxes, with no reimbursement
for penalty or interest charges or other amounts incurred in connection
therewith. Except as provided in Section 4.4(b), Taxes
other than Recoverable Taxes shall not be reimbursed by the service recipient or
technology transferee, and each Party is responsible for its own respective
income Taxes (including franchise and other Taxes based on net income or a
variation thereof), Taxes based upon gross revenues or receipts, and Taxes with
respect to general overhead, including but not limited to business and
occupation Taxes, and such Taxes shall not be Recoverable Taxes.

     

    (b) In the
event that the service recipient or technology transferee is prohibited by
Applicable Law from making payments to the service provider or technology
transferor unless the service recipient or technology transferee deducts or
withholds Taxes therefrom and remits such Taxes to the local Taxing Authority,

the other Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary and at the
first Party’s sole expense and subject to the first Party’s
request.  To the extent required by Applicable Law, such other Party
shall join the action and, if such other Party elects, may choose to be

directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives (“Micron Indemnitees”) from and

    (a) Any
Person who or which is entitled to seek indemnification under Section 8.1 (an
“Indemnified Party”)
shall promptly notify the other Party (“Indemnifying Party”) of any
such Losses for which it seeks indemnification hereunder.  Failure of
the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party from Losses on account of this indemnification, except if and only to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced
thereby.  Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the
Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof,
copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the
Indemnified Party relating to the Losses and underlying facts and
circumstances.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume
the defense of the Indemnified Party with respect to any legal action relating
to such Losses (“Indemnified
Claim”) upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the particular notice from the Indemnified
Party.

     

    (b) So long
as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Indemnified Claim in
accordance herewith and notified the Indemnified Party in writing thereof, (1)
the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel, at its sole cost and
expense, and participate in the defense of the Indemnified Claim, it being
understood that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable costs and
expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party after such time as the Indemnified
Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of such Indemnified Claim and prior to
such time as the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party that it
has assumed the defense of such Indemnified Claim, (2) the Indemnified Party
shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to a Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and
(3) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement with respect to the Indemnified Claim to be paid by an
Indemnifying Party (other than a judgment or settlement that is solely for money
damages and is accompanied by a release of all indemnifiable claims against the
Indemnified Party) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party
(not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

     

    (c) The
Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in the defense of each
Indemnified Claim (and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree
with respect to all such Indemnified Claims that a common interest privilege
agreement exists between them), including by (1) permitting the Indemnifying
Party to discuss the Indemnified Claim with such officers, employees,
consultants and representatives of the Indemnified Party as the Indemnifying
Party reasonably requests, (2) providing to the Indemnifying Party copies of
documents and samples of products as the Indemnifying Party reasonably requests
in connection with defending such Indemnified Claim, (3) preserving all
properties, books, records, papers, documents, plans, drawings, electronic mail
and databases relating to matters pertinent to the Indemnified Claim and under
the Indemnified Party’s custody or control in accordance with such Party’s
corporate documents retention policies, or longer to the extent reasonably
requested by the Indemnified Party, (4) notifying the Indemnifying Party
promptly of receipt by the Indemnified Party of any subpoena or other third
party request for documents or interviews and testimony, and (5) providing to
the Indemnifying Party copies of any documents produced by the Indemnified Party
in response to, or compliance with, any subpoena or other third party request
for documents.  In connection with any claims, unless otherwise
ordered by a court, the Indemnified Party shall not produce documents to a Third
Party until the Indemnifying Party has been provided a reasonable opportunity to
review, copy and assert privileges covering such documents, except to the extent
(x) inconsistent with the Indemnified Party’s obligations under Applicable Law
and (y) where to do so would subject the Indemnified Party or its employees,
agents or representatives to criminal or civil sanctions.
