and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Joint
Venture Documents, including its reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as
practicable, all licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations,
qualifications and orders of Governmental Entities and parties to contracts, as
are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Joint Venture Documents and to fulfill the conditions in
Article 5 of this Agreement.

       

      4.3           Governmental
Filings.  Subject to Applicable Law, prior to the making or
submission of any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief,
argument, opinion or proposal by or on behalf of either Party in connection with
proceedings under or relating to any applicable Competition Law, NTC and Micron
will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the
views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances,
presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or
proposals.  In this regard but without limitation, each Party hereto
shall promptly inform the other of any material communication between such Party
and any antitrust or competition Governmental Entity regarding the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Joint Venture
Documents.  Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall require or be
construed to require any Party hereto, in order to obtain the consent or
successful termination of any review of any such Governmental Entity regarding
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Joint Venture Documents,
to (A) sell or hold separate, or agree to sell or hold separate, before or after
the Closing Date, any assets or businesses, or any interests in any assets or
businesses, of such Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or to consent to any sale,
or agreement to sell, any assets or businesses, or any interests in any assets
or businesses), or any change in or restriction on the operation by such Party
of any assets or businesses, or (B) enter into any agreement or be bound by any
obligation that, in such Party’s good faith judgment, may have an adverse effect
on the benefits to such Party of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Joint Venture Documents. 

       

      4.4           Access to Properties and
Records.  From the date of this Agreement through the Closing
and subject to the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, NTC shall afford
representatives of Micron reasonable access to the Leased Fab, and books and
records reasonably related to the contemplated operations of the Joint Venture
Company, during normal business hours, so that Micron has a full opportunity to
investigate the Leased Fab, including an environmental inspection and audit
thereof; provided,
however, that such investigation shall be at reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice and shall not unreasonably disrupt the personnel and
operations of NTC.

       

      4.5           Further
Assurances.  From time to time, as and when requested by any
Party, the other Party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and
delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be

are necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Joint Venture Documents.

       

      4.6           Transfer

      4.7           Confidentiality.  Prior
to the date of this Agreement, the disclosure and exchange of Confidential
Information (as defined in the NDA) between the Parties is governed solely by
the terms of the NDA.  On and after the date hereof, the disclosure
and exchange of any confidential information between the Parties is and will be
governed by the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement and, to the extent in effect
and applicable, the other Joint Venture Documents.  

       

      4.8           Press
Releases.   Upon or immediately following the signing of
this Agreement, the Parties shall, and each Party may, issue a press release,
the text of which shall have been pre-approved in writing by Micron and
NTC.  The Parties will work together to ensure such press release will
comply, both as to timing and substance, with the disclosure requirements of any
Applicable Law to which either Party may be subject.  Except as
required by Applicable Law, from the date hereof until the issuance of such
press release, neither
Party shall make any public disclosure, announcement or statement with respect
to this Agreement, the Joint Venture Documents, the Joint Venture Company or any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Joint Venture
Documents.  Following the issuance of such press release, and subject
to the terms and conditions of the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, each Party
shall be free to reuse the information contained in such press
release.

       

      4.9           Legally Compelled
Disclosures.  In the event that a Party is requested or becomes
legally compelled (including pursuant to securities laws and regulations) to
disclose any of the Joint Venture Documents, or any of the terms thereof, where
such disclosure would be in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement or
the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, the Party may make such disclosure but
subject to the provisions of this Section 4.9.  The Party required to
make such disclosure shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice of
the requirement to make such disclosure before making such disclosure and will
use its reasonable efforts to cooperate fully with the other Party to seek a
protective order, confidential treatment or other appropriate remedy with
respect to the disclosure.  In such event, the disclosing Party shall
furnish for disclosure only that portion of the information that is legally
required to be disclosed and shall exercise its reasonable efforts to obtain
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such
information to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party and to the
maximum extent possible under Applicable Law.  The disclosing Party
agrees that it will provide the other Party with drafts of any documents or
other filings in which it is required to disclose this Agreement, the other
Joint Venture Documents or any other confidential information subject to the
terms of this Agreement at least two (2) Business Days prior to the filing or
disclosure thereof for any matter to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K
and at least five (5) Business Days prior to the filing or disclosure for any
other matter required to be filed with the Commission or any other Governmental
Entity (except, in either case, to the extent a shorter time period is required
to permit compliance with Applicable Law), and that it will make any changes to
such materials as reasonably requested by the other Party to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law.

      4.11          Continuity and Maintenance
of Operations.  Until the Closing, each Party agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts consistent with past practice and policies to
(A) preserve intact in all material respects that portion of its present
business operations expected to be made available (through services agreements
or otherwise), leased, transferred or contributed to the Joint Venture Company
at the time of the Closing, (B) maintain in all material respects the services
of such Party’s employees who are reasonably expected to render full-time
service to the Joint Venture Company as assigned employees or who are otherwise
expected to be an integral part of the services to be provided by such Party to
the Joint Venture Company, and (C) preserve in all material respects its
relationships with suppliers, licensors, licensees and others having material
business relationships in connection with that portion of its business
operations expected to be made available (through services agreements or
otherwise), leased or contributed to the Joint Venture Company at the time of
the Closing.

       

      4.12          Certain Deliveries and
Notices.  From the date of this Agreement until the Closing,
each Party shall promptly inform, in writing, the other Party of (A) any event
or occurrence that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse
effect on its ability to perform its obligations under any of the Joint Venture
Documents or, in its reasonable opinion, the ability of the Joint Venture
Company to conduct its business as presently contemplated, or (B) any breach by
it that cannot or will not be cured by the Closing or anticipated failure by it
to satisfy any condition or covenant, if such failure cannot or will not be
cured by the Closing, contained herein or in any other Joint Venture
Document.

commercially reasonable manner to maximize tax benefits and minimize tax costs
of the Joint Venture Company and of the Parties or their Subsidiaries with
respect to the activities of the Joint Venture Company, consistent with the
overall goals of the Joint Venture Documents.  Such cooperation shall
include (A) NTC’s use of reasonable efforts to assist Micron, MNL and the Joint
Venture Company in applying for applicable tax incentives and for a tax
withholding exemption in Taiwan, the Netherlands and such other jurisdictions as
may be relevant, with respect to payments made by either NTC or the Joint
Venture Company to Micron or MNL, or by Micron or an Affiliate of Micron to the
Joint Venture Company and (B) Micron’s use of reasonable efforts to assist NTC
in applying for applicable tax incentives and for a tax withholding exemption in
Taiwan, the Netherlands and such other jurisdictions as may be relevant, with

or an Affiliate of NTC to the Joint Venture Company.  Additional
assistance may include one Party assisting the other Party in amending one or
more of the Joint Venture Documents or seeking a ruling from a taxing authority;
provided, however, that neither of the
Parties shall be required to consent to amend any of the Joint Venture Documents
or take other action that such Party reasonably determines is not commercially
reasonable; provided,

shall use good faith commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement
requiring the requesting Party to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable
out-of-pocket costs incurred by that other Party to effect the change desired by
the requesting Party, and the other Party shall not be required to incur such
costs until such an agreement has been entered into.

       

      4.15          Supply
Agreement.  The Parties acknowledge that, at the Closing, they
each will enter into the Supply Agreement with the Joint Venture Company
pursuant to which each such Party shall have the right and obligation to

NTC, NTC's Output Percentage and, in the case of Micron, MNL's Output
Percentage) of the Joint Venture Company’s output of Stack DRAM Products and
other products that are manufactured by the Joint Venture Company.

       

      4.16          Patent
Assignment.  Prior to the Closing, NTC shall deliver to Micron
a list of [***] patents selected from the lists previously delivered by Micron
to NTC, containing a total of [***] patents.  On the Closing Date,
Micron shall deliver to NTC a duly executed Patent Assignment with respect to
such [***] patents.  To the extent the patents selected by NTC have
fewer than thirty (30) independent priority dates, NTC and Micron shall
negotiate in good faith with respect to Micron including in the Patent
Assignment that number of patents closest to[***] having at least thirty (30)
independent priority dates. 

       

      4.17          Reimbursement of NTC for
Tool Install Preparation Activities.  NTC shall cause, and
Micron shall cause MNL to cause, the Joint Venture Company, within six (6)
months following the Closing, to reimburse NTC for any out-of-pocket costs
incurred by NTC in preparing the Leased Fab for installation of the tools
required for manufacturing 300mm wafers; provided that such
out-of-pocket costs are approved in advance in writing (including by facsimile
or electronic mail) by the representative of Micron named on Schedule 4.17 of the

Micron from time to time by written notice to NTC in accordance with Section
8.3.

shall have the opportunity to update Schedule 3.1(D) of
the Master Agreement Disclosure Letter and Schedule 3.2(D) of
the Master Agreement Disclosure Letter, respectively, to include additional
required filings with, or permits, consents or approvals of, or notices to be
given to, any Persons that were not known, after reasonable inquiry conducted in
good faith, as of the date hereof; provided that each such
additional required filing, permit, consent, approval or notice shall be
identified on the applicable Schedule with an asterisk unless otherwise agreed
by the Parties.  Any such update shall cure any breach, as of the date
hereof, of Section 3.1(D) or Section 3.2(D), as the case may be, resulting from
the failure to include such updated content on Schedule 3.1(D) of
the Master Agreement Disclosure Letter or Schedule 3.2(D) of
the Master Agreement Disclosure Letter, as the case may be, on the date
hereof.

of NTC does not do so with information or assistance provided by NTC, a

Party or any of its Affiliates, unless such Order is in the form of an
injunction or restraining order prohibiting the Closing and the Party against
whom the Order has been issued has used and is continuing to use its best effort
to remove or otherwise quash such Order (including by securing and filing a bond
in favor of the petitioner as may be contemplated by Applicable Law) (it being
agreed that, in such event, the other Party shall have the right to change each
date contained in Section 7.1(A) to a date not later than [***]);

 Conditions to
the Obligations of NTC.  The obligation of NTC under this

or prior to the Closing, of all of the following conditions, any one or more of
which may be waived in writing by NTC at its option:

and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of Micron
contained in this Agreement that are subject to qualifications and exceptions
contained therein relating to materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be
true and correct, and all other representations and warranties of Micron

      INDEMNIFICATION

       

      6.1           Indemnification.  

       

      (A)           NTC
will indemnify and hold harmless Micron, Micron’s Subsidiaries, the Joint
Venture Company and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents
against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by them as a result of (1) any
failure to be true or correct of any representation or warranty made by NTC in
this Agreement or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in any of
the certificates or other writings (other than the Joint Venture Documents)
delivered at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement (representations and
warranties qualified by references to materiality or Material Adverse Effect are
to be interpreted as though they were not so qualified), provided a claim therefor is
asserted no later than the [***] anniversary of the Closing Date, (2) any
failure to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement of NTC in this
Agreement, (3) either (a) any acts or omissions of NTC, any Subsidiary of NTC,
IMI or any Subsidiary of IMI occurring at or prior to the Closing Date relating
to the construction, maintenance or operation of, or on, the Leased Fab or
Landlord’s Real Estate (as defined in the Fab Lease) that both (I) were
inconsistent with what would have been done by a reasonably prudent
semiconductor manufacturer in the same or similar circumstances acting in
accordance with industry standards and practices (“Negligent Acts or Omissions”),
and (II) could materially and adversely affect the Joint Venture Company, or (b)
any violation of an Environmental Law or other Applicable Law, existing or
occurring at or prior to the Closing Date, that could adversely and materially
affect the Joint Venture Company, or (4) any liabilities, debts, obligations or
duties of NTC or any of its Subsidiaries that are not expressly assumed by the
Joint Venture Company under this Agreement or another Joint Venture Document;
provided, however, that (x) NTC shall
not be liable under Sections 6.1(A)(1) and 6.1(A)(3) until aggregate Losses as a
result of such failures or such Negligent Acts or Omissions or violations,
respectively, exceed $[***], at which point NTC shall be liable for all such
Losses; and (y) NTC’s aggregate liability under Sections 6.1(A)(1) and 6.1(A)(3)
shall not exceed the difference between $[***] and [***] of any amount paid by
NTC in respect of its indemnity obligation in Sections 8.7(1) and 8.7(3) of the
Fab Lease; provided,
further, that the
liability limitations set forth in clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to any
Losses under Section 6.1(A)(3) that result from (i) any Negligent Acts or
Omissions that are known to NTC, any Subsidiary of NTC, IMI or any Subsidiary of
IMI as of the Closing Date to be inconsistent with what would have been done by
a reasonably prudent semiconductor manufacturer in the same or similar
circumstances acting in accordance with industry standards and practices or (ii)
any violation of an Environmental Law or other Applicable Law that is known to
NTC, any Subsidiary of NTC, IMI or any Subsidiary of IMI as of the Closing
Date.

       

      (B)           Micron
will indemnify and hold harmless NTC, NTC’s Subsidiaries, the Joint Venture
Company and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against
any and all Losses incurred or suffered by them as a result of (1) any failure
to be true or correct of any representation or warranty made by Micron in this
Agreement or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in any of the
certificates or other writings (other than the Joint Venture Documents)
delivered at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement (representations and
warranties qualified by references to materiality or Material Adverse Effect are
to be interpreted as though they were not so qualified), provided a claim therefor is
asserted no later than the [***]

expressly assumed by the Joint Venture Company under this Agreement or another
Joint Venture Document; provided, however, that (x)
Micron shall not be liable under Section 6.1(B)(1) until aggregate Losses as a
result of such failures exceed $[***], at which point Micron shall be liable for
all such Losses; and (y) Micron’s aggregate liability under Sections 6.1(B)(1)
shall not exceed $[***].

       

      6.2       
    Procedures.

       

      (A)           General.  Promptly
after the receipt by any Person who or which is entitled to seek indemnification
under Section 6.1 (an “Indemnified Party”) of a
notice of any Third Party Claim that may be subject to indemnification under
Section 6.1, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Third
Party Claim to the Party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”), stating
in reasonable detail the nature and basis of each claim made in the Third Party
Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the
relevant documents received by the Indemnified Party evidencing the Third Party
Claim and the basis for indemnification sought.  Failure of the
Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
from liability 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 Third Party Claim.  The Indemnifying
Party shall have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party with
respect to the Third Party 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 Third Party 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 Third Party 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 Third Party Claim and prior to
such time as the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party that it
has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, (2) the Indemnified Party
shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to a Third Party 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 Third Party Claim (other than a
judgment or settlement that is solely for money damages to be paid by the
Indemnifying Party 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)           In
the case of any Third Party Claim where the Indemnifying Party reasonably
believes that it would be appropriate to settle such Third Party Claim using
equitable remedies (i.e., remedies involving the
future activity and conduct of the Joint Venture Company), the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party shall work together in good faith to agree to a

      settlement;
provided, however, that no Indemnified
Party shall be under any obligation to agree to any such
settlement.

       

      (D)           Any
Direct Claim by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnifying Party will be
asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice
thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified
Party becomes aware of the facts giving rise to such Direct
Claim.  Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this
indemnification, except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is
actually prejudiced thereby.  Such notice by the Indemnified Party
will describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and will indicate the
estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of Losses that have been or may be
sustained by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party will have
a period of ten (10) Business Days within which to respond in writing to such
Direct Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within
such ten (10) Business Day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have
rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue
such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and
subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

       

      6.3           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 under the indemnification provisions or
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 and granted in connection
therewith.

       

      6.4           Treatment of Indemnification
Payments; Insurance Recoveries.  Any indemnity payment under
this Article 6 shall be decreased by any amounts actually recovered by the
Indemnified Party under third party insurance policies with respect to such Loss
(net of any increased or retrospective premiums paid by such Indemnified Party
under the relevant insurance policy as a result of such Loss).  Each

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

Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

       

      (1)           by
either Party if the Closing shall not have occurred by [***]; provided, however, that neither Party

however, that no Party will be released from liability hereunder if this

remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenant, condition
or other provision contained herein.

       

      8.7           Choice of
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the ROC, without giving effect to its conflict of

Agreement shall be brought in the Taipei District Court, located in Taipei,

the Dispute within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the Dispute (during
which thirty-day period, the presidents shall seek in good faith to hold at

the Dispute), then the Dispute shall be submitted to the chairman of the board
of directors of each of the Parties as contemplated by Section
8.9(B).

       

      (B)           If
the presidents of the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within the
thirty (30) day period, the chairman of the board of directors of each of the
Parties shall then make a good faith effort to resolve the
Dispute.  If they are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30)
days of the Dispute’s being submitted to them (during which thirty-day period,
the chairmen shall seek in good faith to hold at least two (2) meetings at which
they shall make a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute), then a civil action
with respect to the Dispute may be commenced.

       

      8.10          Headings.  The
headings of the Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for
convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof.

       

      8.11          Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and
Schedules hereto and the agreements and instruments expressly provided for
herein (including the Joint Venture Documents and the NDA), constitute the
entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, between the
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

       

      8.12          Severability.  Should
any provision of this Agreement be deemed in contradiction with the laws of any
jurisdiction in which it is to be performed or unenforceable for any reason,
such provision shall be deemed null and void, but this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect in all other respects.  Should any provision of
this Agreement be or become ineffective because of changes in Applicable Law or
interpretations thereof, or should this Agreement fail to include a provision
that is required as a matter of law, the validity of the other provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.  If such circumstances
arise, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith appropriate modifications to
this Agreement to reflect those changes that are required by Applicable
Law.

       

      8.13          Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are ultimately
consummated, except as provided in Section 2.7 each Party shall bear its own

Disposition, the number of Shares transferred, sold and disposed of, or, in the
case of a Share Acquisition, the number of Shares purchased, acquired or
otherwise received, by the Initiating Shareholder.  In the case of a
Share Disposition, the Other Shareholder shall have [***] days from the delivery
of the Change Notice to determine (which determination shall be effectuated by
delivering written notice (an “Answer Notice”) to the
Initiating Shareholder) whether the Other Shareholder’s Output Percentage should
increase, which increase shall take effect on the date that is [***] days
following the delivery of such Answer Notice.  In the case of a Share
Acquisition, the Initiating Shareholder shall have [***] days from the delivery
of the Change Notice to determine (which determination shall be effectuated by
delivering written notice (also an “Answer Notice”) to the Other
Shareholder) whether the Initiating Shareholder’s Output Percentage should
increase, which increase shall take effect on the date that is [***] days
following the delivery of such Answer Notice.  If the determination is
so made that a Shareholder’s Output Percentage should not increase, then, for
purposes of this Section 7.3 only (X) in the case of a Share Disposition, the
Initiating Shareholder shall be deemed, for purposes of this Section 7.3 only,
to continue to own the number of Shares transferred, sold or otherwise disposed
of in the Share Disposition (such deemed Shares being referred to as “Phantom Shares”) and (Y) in
the case of a Share Acquisition, the Other Shareholder shall be deemed, for
purposes of this Section 7.3 only, to own such number of Shares as is necessary
so that its Output Percentage will not change as a result of the Share
Acquisition (such deemed Shares also being referred to as “Phantom
Shares”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 7.3(b), the Shareholders shall not be required to give a Change Notice
or otherwise comply with the procedures in this Section 7.3(b) if there are
Share Dispositions or Share Acquisitions by both Shareholders that occur
contemporaneously with respect to which, if both Initiating Shareholders gave
Change Notices and both Shareholders giving an Answer Notice elected to increase
a Shareholder's Output Percentage as a result thereof, no change in the
Shareholders' Output Percentages would occur.

      Section
8.4              SPV
Equity.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary:

       

      (a)           Transfer of
Shares to SPV.  Each Shareholder (a “Transferring Shareholder”) may
Transfer a number of Shares, up to a maximum of [***]% of the Shares it
purchased from the Joint Venture Company as contemplated by Sections 3.2 and
3.3, to a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of such Transferring Shareholder (each, an
“SPV”).  For
so long as the SPV holds any Shares, such Transferring Shareholder shall be
required to retain 100% of the equity and voting interests of such
SPV.

       

      (b)           Transfer of
Shares by SPV.  Any SPV may, at any time and from time to time,
Transfer to the employees of such Transferring Shareholder or its Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries (or, in the case of MNL, to the employees of Micron or its
Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) any or all of the Shares such SPV received as a
result of the Transfer contemplated by Section 8.4(a).  In connection
with any such Transfer, the Transferring Shareholder shall cause the Person
receiving such Shares to agree, for the benefit of the Shareholder that is not
the Transferring Shareholder, to restrictions (including with respect to voting
and transfer) with respect to such Shares equivalent to the restrictions that
would be imposed by this Agreement on the Transferring Shareholder if such
Shares were held by the Transferring Shareholder.  The Transferring
Shareholder shall use reasonable efforts to enforce such restrictions, provided, however, that any
non-compliance or violation of such restrictions by the Persons receiving Shares
as contemplated by this Section 8.4(b) shall not in any way affect the deemed
ownership by the Shareholders as contemplated under Section 8.4(d) and shall not
be regarded as a breach of this Agreement by the Transferring
Shareholder.

       

      (c)           No Other
Transfer.  Each Transferring Shareholder shall prevent its SPV,
if any, from Transferring Shares other than as contemplated by Section
8.4(b).

       

      (d)           Deemed Owned by
Shareholders.  [***].

       

      (e)           Repurchase.  With
respect to a Transferring Shareholder that has not violated this Section 8.4,
such Transferring Shareholder shall not be in violation of this Agreement if, at
any time and from time to time, it repurchases from its SPV or from Persons to
whom the SPV Transferred Shares in accordance with Section 8.4(b), any or all of
the Shares such Transferring Shareholder Transferred to its SPV in accordance
with Section 8.4(a).  If, after the Listing, a Transferring
Shareholder repurchases Shares from Persons to whom its SPV Transferred Shares
in accordance with Section 8.4(b), the Shareholder that is not the Transferring
Shareholder shall be deemed to own [***] for each Share the Transferring
Shareholder so purchases.

transferee under this Agreement or any of the Joint Venture Documents;
and

       

      (iii)           the

AGREEMENTS AND COVENANTS

       

      Section
11.1            Tax
Cooperation.  The Shareholders shall cooperate in a good faith,
commercially reasonable manner to maximize tax benefits and minimize tax costs
of the Joint Venture Company and of the Shareholders or their Affiliates with
respect to the activities of the Joint Venture Company, consistent with the
overall goals of the Joint Venture Documents.  Such cooperation shall
include (a) NTC’s use of reasonable efforts to assist Micron, MNL and the Joint
Venture Company in applying for applicable tax incentives and for a tax
withholding exemption in Taiwan, the Netherlands and such other jurisdictions as
may be relevant, with respect to payments made by either, NTC or the Joint
Venture Company to Micron or MNL, or by MNL or an Affiliate of MNL to the Joint
Venture Company and (b) MNL’s use of reasonable efforts to assist NTC in
applying for applicable tax incentives and for a tax withholding exemption in

or an Affiliate of NTC to the Joint Venture Company.  Additional
assistance may include one Shareholder assisting the other Shareholder in
amending one or more of the Joint Venture Documents or seeking a ruling from a
taxing authority; provided, however, that neither
of the Shareholders shall be required to consent to amend any of the Joint
Venture Documents or take other action that such Shareholder reasonably
determines is not commercially reasonable; provided, further, that if one
Shareholder (and its Affiliates) is not likely (based on reasonable assumptions
and projections) to benefit directly or indirectly from an action requested by
the other Shareholder pursuant to this Section 11.1, then the Shareholders shall
use good faith commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement
requiring the requesting Shareholder to reimburse the other Shareholder for the
reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by that other Shareholder to effect the
change desired by the requesting Shareholder, and the other Shareholder shall
not be required to incur such costs until such an agreement has been entered
into.

       

      Section
11.2            Use of Shareholder
Names.  Except as may be expressly provided in the Joint
Venture Documents, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring on
the Joint Venture Company, any Subsidiary of the Joint Venture Company or either
Shareholder the right to use in advertising, publicity, marketing or other
promotional activities any name, trade name, trademark, service mark or other
designation, or any derivation thereof, of the Shareholders (in the case of a
Shareholder, the other Shareholder).

       

      Section
11.3            Insurance.  Until
the Lease Commencement Date (as defined in the Fab Lease), NTC shall cause the
Joint Venture Company to be at all times covered by insurance policies of NTC,
with coverage consistent with the terms described on Schedule 5.2(B) of the
Master Agreement Disclosure Letter.  From and after the Lease
Commencement Date, the Shareholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Joint Venture Company and the Leased Fab to at all times be covered by
insurance of the types and in the amounts set forth on Appendix I
hereto.  Such new insurance coverage may be provided through the
coverage under one or more insurance policies maintained by Micron or
NTC.

Company.

Between the
Joint Venture Company and Any Shareholder.  With respect to any
contract (including under the Fab Lease or the Supply Agreement) between the
Joint Venture Company and a Shareholder (or an Affiliate of a Shareholder), the
other Shareholder shall have the right to demand that the Joint Venture Company,
and shall have the right to cause the Joint Venture Company to, take any action,
pursue any right, enforce any obligation or seek recourse pursuant to or under
such contract, including with respect to the assertion of any claim or
cause of action for breach of contract against the Shareholder (or an Affiliate
of the Shareholder) involved in such contractual relationship with the Joint

(and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or
proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue
of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit,
action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.

       

      Section

convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof.

       

      Section
15.9            Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Appendices,
Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the agreements (including the Joint Venture

prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, between the Shareholders

      Section
15.10          Taxes and

any provision of this Agreement be deemed in contradiction with the laws of any
jurisdiction in which it is to be performed or unenforceable for any reason,
such provision shall be deemed null and void, but this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect in all other respects.  Should any provision of
this Agreement be or become ineffective because of changes in Applicable Law or
interpretations thereof, or should this Agreement fail to include a provision
that is required as a matter of law, the validity of the other provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.  If such circumstances
arise, the Shareholders shall negotiate in good faith appropriate modifications
to this Agreement to reflect those changes that are required by Applicable
Law.
