ROYALTIES 
  
 Asyst shall be entitled to receive certain royalties on the Net Revenues (as defined below) as set forth below: 
  

	 	VI.2(a)	 	The sum equal to [*]% of all Net Revenues generated in the semiconductor industry by Entegris, Entegris Cayman or Entegris’ Subsidiaries during each year with respect to (i)
[*] (iii) spare and replacement parts in respect of the products described in (i) and (ii) of this subsection VI.2(a), for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date stated in the Asset Purchase Agreement; and 

  

	 	VI.2(b)	 	a portion of all Net Revenues generated in the semiconductor industry by Entegris or Entegris’ Subsidiaries during each year with respect to (i) 300mm FOUPs or wafer carriers
or containers having substantially the same structure as a 300mm FOUP and used in production of semiconductors or wafers, (ii) the 300mm FOUPS purchased by Entegris from Asyst in the semiconductor industry; and (iii) spare and replacement parts in
respect of the products described in (i) and (ii) of this subsection VI.2(b) for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date as set forth below: 

  

	 	(i)	 	The sum equal to [*]% of such Net Revenues up to $[*] million per annum; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	[*]% of such Net Revenues between $[*] million and $[*] million per annum; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 	[*]% of such Net Revenues over $[*] million per annum. 

  
 For purposes hereof, the 300mm FOUPS and wafer carriers or containers having substantially the same structure as a 300mm FOUP and used in
production of semiconductors or wafers for which Asyst is entitled to the above royalties shall not include any of Entegris’ current products or containers which are used to ship wafers between facilities. [*]. 
  
 Notwithstanding the above, [*]. 
  

	 	VI.2(c)	 	 The term “Net Revenues” shall mean the total sales price of the particular product(s) for which customers are billed or otherwise charged (including the
lease or consignment of product) for by Entegris in the usual course of business during each fiscal year of Entegris, excluding: (i) revenues received from services related to the particular product(s) (including without limitation cleaning
services); (ii) sales taxes, excise taxes and other taxes levied in respect of such sales; (iii) return sales; (iv) transportation and insurance costs incurred by Entegris with respect to such product(s). Royalties on products

discounted below [*]% of the average selling price of a product on a quarterly basis will be based upon [*]% of the average selling price of that product on
a quarterly basis. Any out-of-payment-period credit adjustments for return sales or other bona fide price adjustments which exceed royalties payable for any period will be accrued and offset against royalties which accrue to Asyst in subsequent
payment periods. With respect to product(s) leased or consigned by Entegris, or if the pricing of a royalty-bearing product hereunder is otherwise commingled with the pricing of other products and services of Entegris or a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Entegris, then the price of the royalty-bearing products for the purposes of calculating royalties shall be equal to the average net sales price of all equivalent products sold by the Entegris for the fiscal quarter in question, without giving
effect in the calculation of such average to any products given away or commingled with other goods and services; provided, however, that the bundling of multiple royalty-bearing products together without the commingling of non-royalty-bearing
products or services is treated as a single aggregate sale and royalty is calculated based upon the aggregate sale price for such products (i.e. not the average net sales price of equivalent products). 

  

	 	VI.2(d)	 	Entegris shall keep records, with respect to the sale of all the products subject to royalties under this Section V.2 and the selling prices thereof. Asyst shall at its own expense
have a right, through an independent certified public accountant selected by Asyst, to examine and audit, not more than once each fiscal year, and during normal business hours and upon prior reasonable notice, all such records and accounts as may,
under recognized accounting practices, contain information bearing upon the amount of royalty payment due to Asyst from Entegris under this Agreement. 

  
 If Asyst’s calculation of royalties differs from Entegris’ calculation, Asyst may, at its option, deliver a
notice to Entegris disputing Entegris’ calculation (a “Challenge Notice”) at any time, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after the close of a calendar year with respect to royalties accrued during that calendar year. If a
Challenge Notice is delivered to Entegris pursuant to the preceding sentence, Asyst and Entegris shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use all commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement. If during such period Asyst and
Entegris are unable to agree regarding the disputed calculation, Asyst and Entegris shall promptly thereafter select an Accounting Referee (as hereinafter defined) and cause such Accounting Referee to promptly review this Agreement, any related
agreements, all such records and accounts as may, under recognized accounting practices, contain information bearing upon the amount of royalty payment due to Asyst from Entegris under this Agreement and the respective parties’ disputed
calculations. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Asyst and Entegris as promptly as practicable a report setting forth the Accounting Referee’s calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon Asyst and Entegris. The cost of such
report shall be borne by (i) Asyst if the Accounting

 Referee’s calculation changes royalties by less than [*] percent ([*])of the royalties stated in
the disputed Royalty Statement(s); or (ii) the Entegris if the Accounting Referee’s calculation changes royalties by greater than [*] percent ([*]%)of the royalties stated in the disputed Royalty Statement(s). The “Accounting Referee”
shall mean a reputable firm of independent auditors of national standing other than the auditors of the Entegris, at or prior to the Closing Date. In any event, adjustment shall be made to compensate for any errors or omission disclosed by
Accounting Referee’s report. 
  

	 	VI.2(e)	 	The thresholds for determining the amount of royalties to be paid hereunder shall be based on a calendar year. Royalties hereunder shall be remitted to Asyst quarterly for royalties
accrued during each preceding quarter, based on Net Revenues to date for the current calendar year. The Net Revenue thresholds in Section VI.2(b) shall be prorated for partial years at the beginning and end of the royalty term.

  

	 	VI.2(f)	 	Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Entegris, commencing upon the close of the first fiscal quarter after the Closing Date and continuing thereafter
until all of the royalties payable hereunder shall have been reported and paid, Entegris shall furnish Asyst a statement signed by a duly authorized officer of Entegris showing all products subject to royalties which were sold during such quarter
and the prices at which they were sold, and the amount of the royalty payable thereon (the “Royalty Statement”). If no products subject to royalty have been sold, that fact shall be set forth in such a statement. The royalties stated to be
payable to Asyst in the Royalty Statement shall be paid within forty-five (45) days after the end of that quarter in which they accrue. 

  

	 	VI.2(g)	 	A bonus royalty of [*] percent ([*]%) on revenues generated by Entegris and Entegris’ Subsidiaries in excess of [*] from Entegris’ current and future SMIF Pods and all
royalty bearing products for combined calendar years 2003, 2004 and 2005. The maximum payment under this section shall not exceed [*]. For purposes hereof, Asyst shall be entitled to credit for Asyst and Entegris’ respective sales for 2003
prior to the Effective Date for the products identified in Sections VI.2(a) and VI.2(b).
