MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT

(hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”)

(hereinafter referred to as “Lender”)

(Lender and Borrower together the “Parties”)

Page 1 of 11

 

	1.	 	Preamble
	 
	 	 	Following certain legal carve-out steps, the Borrower will encompass the memory
products business of Infineon. This Master Loan Agreement shall therefore govern all current
and future lending arrangements between the Parties. The Parties agree to enter into and
execute individual loan agreements (each an “Individual Loan
Agreement”), if any, in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Master Loan Agreement. Furthermore the
Borrower acknowledges that after its planned “IPO” (defined as being the listing of or the
admission to trading of not less than 15% of the share capital of the Borrower on the New
York Stock Exchange, Inc. or any other stock exchange in the US or the European Union or any
other similar sale or issue by way of flotation or public offering or any equivalent
circumstances in relation to the Borrower) it will not draw any further loans from the
Lender but will repay any loans then outstanding within the term of this Agreement. In
particular, after the IPO and any external financing transaction substantial up to full
repayment is expected to occur.
	 
	2.	 	Individual Loan Agreement
	 
	2.1	 	Each Individual Loan Agreement shall contain at a minimum the specified terms for the
specific loan, including without limitation: parties, the amount of the loan, currency, the
loan disbursement and repayment amount, term, interest (rate, basis, calculation method,
payment dates) and technical aspects of disbursement and repayment.
	 
	2.2	 	Other terms may be agreed upon in the Individual Loan Agreement as necessary and appropriate.
They shall be enforceable between the parties even if they conflict with the terms and
conditions of the Master Loan Agreement.
	 
	2.3	 	If an Individual Loan Agreement is modified (e.g., extension of the term of the loan), the
modified agreement shall also be governed by this Master Loan Agreement unless clause 2.2
applies.

Page 2 of 11

 

	2.4	 	Unless agreed otherwise in writing and to the extent permitted by law all Individual
Loan Agreements made between the Borrower and the Lender shall be governed by this Master
Loan Agreement, even if no reference is made to the Master Loan Agreement in the Individual
Loan Agreement.
	 
	3.	 	Payments
	 
	3.1	 	All payments required to be made by the Borrower shall be made in the currency of the
respective loan in immediately available funds on the respective due
date to such account of the Lender or such other person as the Lender may from time to
time designate.
	 
	3.2	 	Payments insufficient to cover due payments will be applied in the following order: i)
amounts due which are not interest or principal, ii) interest and iii) principal; within the
said groups payments will be applied in chronological order, beginning with those claims of
the Lender which were at first due and payable.
	 
	3.3	 	If the due date for any payment hereunder falls on a day which is not a “Banking Day”
(defined as a day on which banks are open at the locations of both the Lender’s and the
Borrower’s registered offices), the payment shall be due on the immediately succeeding
Banking Day unless such day falls in the next calendar month, then such due date will fall on
the immediately preceding Banking Day, in each case with interest calculated up to the day of
actual payment.
	 
	3.4	 	All amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be paid free and clear of and without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
duties or charges of any nature whatsoever (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Taxes”)
unless it is required by law to deduct or withhold any such Taxes. In such event, the Borrower
or the Lender shall forthwith notify the Lender or the Borrower, respectively of such Taxes

Page 3 of 11

 

	 	 	giving details thereof and specifying the amount of such taxes, thereby observing the
following:

	 	(a)	 	The Borrower shall ensure that such Taxes do not exceed the legal minimum;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Borrower shall forthwith pay to the relevant taxation or other authorities
the full amount of such Taxes which have been so levied or imposed
by applicable law;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Borrower and Lender shall co-operate in getting a tax
reduction and will provide
each other the relevant documents / certifications;
	 
	 	(d)	 	the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender upon its request an official receipt
or official receipts of the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all
Taxes paid as aforesaid;
	 
	 	(e)	 	If an exemption is obtained at any time from any present or future Taxes that
should otherwise be due in respect of any payment to be made by the Borrower under this
Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the bank a certified copy of the
documents evidencing that exemption.

	3.5	 	Borrower may effect prepayments under an Individual Loan Agreement upon prior mutual
agreement between Lender and Borrower on reimbursement of losses incurred to Lender, if any.
	 
	4.	 	Delay
	 
	 	 	If any amount payable by the Borrower is not paid when due, then the Lender shall be
entitled to assert claims for damages incurred, which are caused by Borrower’s delay in
performance or to charge 4 percent interest p.a. in addition to any agreed upon interest
rate on the outstanding amount, unless the Borrower shows that the Lender incurred lesser
damages. This remedy shall

Page 4 of 11

 

	 	 	not affect other remedies available to Lender under the Master Loan Agreement or law to
remedy Borrower’s fundamental non-performance.
	 
	5.	 	Termination
	 
	5.1	 	The Agreement shall be for a period of two years from the
date of the IPO.
	 
	5.2	 	Each Individual Loan Agreement has a fixed term as further stated in the Individual Loan
Agreement the end of which shall in no case extend beyond the
period stipulated in clause 5.1.
	 
	5.3	 	The Parties may — after reasonable consultation with the other Party — terminate the Master
Loan Agreement and the Individual Loan Agreements or any of it for good cause shown (aus
wichtigem Grund) by giving notice in writing. Upon such termination of the Master Loan
Agreement becoming effective, all individual loans granted under the Master Loan Agreement,
including all accrued interest thereon, must be repaid and any other payment obligations under
this Agreement or Individual Loan Agreements must be fulfilled. The termination will be
effective two (2) Banking Days after receipt by the other Party of the written notice of
termination.

	 	5.3.1	 	Good cause for a termination by the Lender shall include, without limitation, the
following cases:

	 	-	 	The Borrower has defaulted to meet any of its payment obligations regarding
the Master Loan Agreement or any Individual Loan Agreement; or
	 
	 	-	 	the Lender will be restructured in a way that requires the termination of
Lenders’ agreements. In that case, repayment shall be due one month after
notification of the termination to
the Borrower; or
	 
	 	-	 	the Borrower has violated any material obligation vis-a-vis the Lender
regarding this Master Loan Agreement or the Individual Loan Agreements; or

Page 5 of 11

 

	 	-	 	any material declaration, confirmation or information which is essential for
the granting of any Loan and which is made or given by the Borrower shall
prove false or incomplete or shall be challenged; or
	 
	 	-	 	any representation or warranty confirmed or made in this Agreement or in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any
Individual Loan Agreement shall be materially incorrect; or
	 
	 	-	 	this Agreement, an Individual Loan Agreement or any underlying document
referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement or an Individual Loan

	 	-	 	the Borrower fails to comply with the undertakings stated in clause 7 and
the breach of contract is material; or
	 
	 	-	 	other substantial reasons occur.

	 	5.3.2	 	“Good cause” for a termination by the Borrower shall include, without
limitation,

	 	-	 	the event that the Borrower could obtain market finance conditions
considerably better than those granted by Lender in an Individual Loan
Agreement; or
	 
	 	-	 	the IPO.

full corporate power and authority to execute and perform this Agreement and any
Individual Loan Agreement.

Individual Loan Agreement are within the Borrower’s powers, are duly authorised
by and do not contravene the laws under which it was organized or any other

constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable
against it.
	 
	 	-	 	No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to, any governmental
authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and performance by the
Borrower of this Agreement or any Individual Loan Agreement.
	 
	 	-	 	To ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of this
Agreement or the Individual Loan Agreements, it is not necessary that the document be
notarized or registered, filed or recorded with any court or other authority in Germany
or with respect to any part of this Agreement or the Individual Loan Agreements. The
Borrower shall pay any stamp or similar tax upon Lender’s request to enforce this
Agreement or the Individual Loan Agreements and/or admit the Agreements as evidence.

	 	 	promptly inform the Lender of any occurrence of which it becomes aware which might
adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any

	 	 	use the Loan exclusively for the purpose, if any, specified in the Individual Loan

indebtedness with the exception of any obligations which are mandatory preferred by law
and not by contract;
	 
	(e)	 	Compliance with laws and regulations

Page 8 of 11

 

	8.	 	Information
	 
	 	 	The Borrower is required upon request to submit its balance sheet and profit and loss
statements together with explanatory notes audited by registered public accountants for the
preceding business year as soon as available, but in any case not later than 6 months after
the closing of each business year. The Borrower will inform the Lender within reasonable
time of all extraordinary events which could have a negative effect on the ability of the

Loan Agreement and/or under the Individual Loan Agreements to any third party unless approved
by Lender in writing.

the Individual Loan Agreements unless the amounts owed are uncontested or determined finally
and absolutely.
	 
	10.	 	No Implied Waivers; Remedies Cumulative
	 
	 	 	No failure or delay on the part of the Lender to exercise any power, right or remedy under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
by the Lender of any power, right or remedy preclude

Page 9 of 11

 

	 	 	any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
The remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.
	 
	11.	 	Confidentiality
	 
	11.1	 	The Parties acknowledge the specific confidentiality interest of the other Party and
undertake it not to disclose this Agreement or any Individual Loan Agreement or any fact
related to these Agreements to any third party or to any employee who does not have a
reasonable need to know any of this confident information. If any of the Parties is obliged by
law to disclose any confident information to third parties, the disclosing Party shall give prior written notice to the
other Party. The disclosing Party shall then enter into a confidentiality agreement with
such third parties, if confidentiality is not provided by law. For the avoidance of doubt
the Parties acknowledge that the Agreement may have to be filed with the relevant
authorities in connection with the IPO.
	 
	11.2	 	The confidentiality obligations shall — irrespective of the term of this Agreement — expire
five (5) years after the date on which the last amount outstanding under an Individual Loan

	13.	 	Severability
	 
	 	 	In the event one or more provisions of the present Master Loan Agreement or an

Infineon Technologies AG, Munich, Germany 
-
hereinafter referred to as “IFX” -

and

Qimonda AG, Munich, Germany 
-
hereinafter referred to as “Qimonda” -

- IFX and Qimonda may hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Parties” and severally referred to

as a “Party” -

Preamble

	1.	 	With effect as of May 1, 2006, Infineon Technologies AG and its Subsidiaries will
transfer their worldwide activities in the field of developing, manufacturing, marketing
and selling memory products and technologies into Qimonda and its Subsidiaries.

	2.	 	Although Qimonda and its Subsidiaries shall to the extent reasonably feasible develop
their business independent from IFX and its Subsidiaries, various services from IFX and
its Subsidiaries to Qimonda and its Subsidiaries, and vice versa, are required in order
to ensure cost-efficient operations within the two groups.

	3.	 	The Parties intend to provide for a standardized and balanced legal framework for such
services, and to provide such mutual services to each other on the terms and conditions
as more particularly described and set out in this Agreement and individual Service Level
Agreements hereunder.

Qimonda and IFX therefore agree as follows:

Definitions:

1

 

Confidential

“Subsidiary” shall mean any company in which, presently or in the future, any Party owns more
than fifty percent (50%) of such company’s voting capital or controlling interest, provided that a
Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a Subsidiary only as long as such percentage of voting capital or
controlling interest prevails. For the purposes of this Agreement, Qimonda and its Subsidiaries
shall not be deemed to be Subsidiaries of IFX.

“Qimonda Group” shall mean MP AG and its Subsidiaries.

“IFX Group” shall mean IFX and its Subsidiaries.

	1.	 	Scope of Services

	1.1	 	Except as set out Section 1.2 below, all worldwide services by the IFX Group to the Qimonda
Group and vice versa, shall be subject to this Agreement. The worldwide services hereunder by
the Parties and their Subsidiaries may include, inter alia, services in the following areas
(“Services”):

	 	•	 	facility management including provision of utilities
	 
	 	•	 	lease or sublease of office space
	 
	 	•	 	services in the area of accounting, consolidation, SOX-compliance, treasury, finance
	 
	 	•	 	purchasing support
	 
	 	•	 	consulting in the areas of real estate and building
	 
	 	•	 	services in the area of human resources
	 
	 	•	 	sales support services

	1.2	 	This Agreement shall, however, not apply to any services in the areas of

	 	•	 	Manufacturing services, such as foundry, backend, module manufacturing or testing
	 
	 	•	 	Supply of products and distribution of products
	 
	 	•	 	License of software and technologies
	 
	 	•	 	Research and development services
	 
	 	•	 	IT services, such as IT maintenance and support
	 
	 	•	 	Accounting services by the IFX branch European Shared
Accounting Services (“ESAS”) and
	 
	 	•	 	other services which, due to their specific nature, can not appropriately be
covered by a Service Level Agreement under this Agreement.

	 	 	Due to their specific nature, such services will be covered by separate agreements for the
respective specific purpose.

2

 

Confidential

	1.3	 	The scope of the Services, the applicable remuneration for the specific Services as well
as other service-specific regulations shall be agreed in individual Service Level Agreements
based on the template for Service Level Agreements attached hereto in Exhibit 1.
Service Level Agreements shall be entered into between the respective legal entities that
provide or receive the individual Services and should expressly reference this Agreement.

	2.	 	 Place and nature of performance, subcontractors

	2.1	 	Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the place of performance of the Services shall be at the
office of the respective entity performing the Service.

	2.2	 	Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Services shall be provided in a form which is common
for such Services in the general course of business of the service provider.

	2.3	 	Unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Service Level Agreement, the service provider may
either provide the respective services itself or through an affiliated or non-affiliated
subcontractor. In case the service provider intends to enter into a new agreement with a
non-affiliated subcontractor for certain Services which have so far been provided by the
service provider himself, the service provider and the service recipient shall seek mutual
agreement on the subcontractor and on the terms under which the
Services may be subcontracted.
In case the service provider and the service do not agree on such matters within 8 weeks,
either of them may — within 14 days after the effort to
agree on subcontracting failed —
terminate the respective Services under the applicable Service Level Agreement by written
notice upon 90 days prior written notice.

	2.4	 	To the extent the Service is provided by a non-affiliated subcontractor, the terms of the
subcontract, especially cooperation obligations, liability, confidentiality, applicable law
(but except for pricing, payment terms and dispute resolution), shall apply accordingly for
the provision of the respective Services hereunder.

	3.	 	 Liability

	3.1	 	In the performance of the obligations and Services pursuant to this Agreement and the
individual Service Level Agreements, both Parties and their Subsidiaries shall only be
obliged to accept responsibility for the level of care which it also customarily applies in
its own matters.

3

 

Confidential

	3.2	 	If any Services are not performed at the proper time or are performed in a faulty manner
and the service providing entity is responsible for the delay or faulty performance, it shall
be obliged to remedy and perform the required Services in a satisfactory manner within a
reasonable period of time.

	3.3	 	Any claims for damages on the basis of this Agreement and the individual Service Level
Agreements, shall be excluded, irrespective of their legal basis, unless the damage was caused
in a grossly negligent or malicious manner. In the event of damages being caused by gross
negligence, the service providing entity’s total liability in any calendar year shall be
limited to the total of the payments made to it under the respective Service Level Agreement
in the respective calendar year.

	3.4	 	In case the service provider has subcontracted all or part of the Services to a third party,
the service recipient may request the assignment of the right to claim damages for damages
that the service recipient incurred due to delay, faulty performance or other breaches of the
subcontract.

4.
    Remuneration

	4.1	 	The consideration for providing individual Services shall be set out in the respective
Service Level Agreement. Such consideration in the Service Level Agreement shall be determined
based on the actual or estimated Total Cost of the service provider for the provision of the
services plus a margin of 3 %. This margin shall apply from May 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006.
Each September, the Parties shall review and mutually agree on the margin applicable for any
period after September 30, 2006 from October 1 until September 30 of the following year.
	 
	 	 	For the purpose hereof, “Total Cost” shall mean the sum of:
	 
	 	 	— Gross personnel expenses including personnel total target compensation and social security
	 
	 	 	— Related travel and entertainment expenses
	 
	 	 	— Infrastructure cost adder for rent, facility services, infrastructure and IT based on
local average adders of the service provider
	 
	 	 	— Overhead cost adder for management and other overhead functions based on average adder of the service provider
	 
	 	 	— External expenses related to the respective Services

	4.2	 	In case the parties agree on a service fee based on actual Total Cost, the service provider
shall, upon request of the service recipient, disclose the relevant documentation and
calculation of the Total Cost. In case of any discrepancies between actual Total Cost and the
costs invoiced, the

4

 

Confidential

	 	 	service provider shall issue a credit note or an additional invoice, as the case may be, for
the discrepancy.
	 
	4.3	 	Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the remuneration for any individual Services shall be
invoiced quarterly in arrears and be paid within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.
	 
	5.	 	Confidentiality

	5.1	 	All information and documents received by the Parties or their Subsidiaries or to which
access is granted (e.g. via data banks) in connection with this Agreement, even if not
expressly designated as business or trade secrets, shall only be used by the receiving Party
and their Subsidiaries for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. For as
long as and to the extent that they are not generally known or the respective other Party to
the Agreement has not previously consented in writing to them being made known, the receiving
Party and its Subsidiaries shall treat the information and documents as confidential with
regard to third parties who are not involved in the performance of any obligation under this
Agreement.
	 
	 	 	If a Party or its Subsidiaries has to process personal data as part of this Agreement, they
shall comply with the data protection legislation, agree to take data security measures and
enable the other Party to keep itself informed regarding compliance. These obligations shall
also continue to apply after the termination of this Agreement according to the applicable
laws.

	5.2	 	The Parties shall ensure that their employees, subcontractors and agents maintain the secrecy
of all business or trade secrets to which they have access on the basis of their work or to
which they are given access as a result of this Agreement, and the Parties shall also impose
this confidentiality obligation upon them in respect of the relevant period required under
applicable laws after the termination of their employment agreements.

	6.	 	Term of this Agreement
	 
	6.1	 	This Agreement shall come into force on May 1, 2006.

	6.2	 	If any party to a Service Level Agreement defaults in its obligations under a Service Level
Agreement despite being given not less than 30 days written notice to remedy the same, the
other

5

 

Confidential

	 	 	party to that Service Level Agreement may terminate the same forthwith by written notice
to the defaulting party.
	 
	6.3	 	Unless explicitly agreed otherwise for any specific Service in any Service Level Agreement,
either Party to a Service Level Agreement may terminate the Service Level Agreement for
convenience with 90 days prior written notice. However, any Services which have been
subcontracted can in no case be terminated for convenience within a shorter notice period than
set out in the respective subcontract.
	 
	6.4	 	This Global Services Agreement shall terminate once all Service Level Agreements hereunder
have expired or been terminated.
	 
	7.	 	Miscellaneous
	 
	7.1	 	Force Majeure
	 
	 	 	Neither Party shall be liable to the other for failure or delay in the performance of any of
its obligations under this Agreement for the time and to the extent such failure or delay is
caused by force majeure such as, but not limited to, riots, civil commotions, wars, strikes,
freight embargo, lock-outs, hostilities between nations, governmental laws, orders or
regulations, actions by the government or any agency thereof, storms, fires, sabotages,
explosions or any other contingencies beyond the reasonable control of the respective Party and
of its sub-contractors. In such events, the affected Party shall immediately inform the other
Party of such circumstances together with documents of proof and the performance of obligations
hereunder shall be suspended during, but not longer than, the period of existence of such cause
and the period reasonably required to perform the obligations in such cases. The affected Party
shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate damages arising out of the force majeure
event.
	 
	7.2	 	Language and Notices
	 
	 	 	Any notices permitted or required hereunder shall be made by registered mail or by telefax and
confirmed by registered mail to the following addresses or such other addresses as submitted
by a Party to the other from time to time in writing:
