written agreement, which agreement is not to be unreasonably withheld, use IBM’s Background
Know-How for the Enablement Agreements relating to DFM Checking Deck Technology to aid in the
creation of Foundry Products using any 90 nm Bulk CMOS process technology.

(c) Notwithstanding IBM’s disclosure rights pursuant to Section 7.9 of the Master Terms, IBM’s
rights to disclose Specific Results and Background Know-How from the 32nm Bulk Process Project, and
the 45nm Bulk Process Project to Foundry Companies and Pure Play Foundries are limited as set forth
in Exhibit F; provided, however, such limitation does not preclude IBM from granting IFX the
disclosure and use rights identified in Exhibit G. In addition and for clarification purposes,
IBM’s disclosure rights under Section 7.9 of the Master Terms are subject to appropriate
confidentiality terms that, at a minimum, have a term of confidentiality consistent with those
imposed on IBM under the Agreement and that limit such Third Party’s use of such Specific Results
and Background Know-How in accordance with the terms and conditions consistent with those in the
Agreement.

9. Termination. In addition to Section 12 of the Master Terms, the following termination
terms and conditions apply as between IBM and Company:

(a) In the event IBM terminates Company’s participation in one or more of such Development
Projects pursuant to Sections 12.3, 12.4(b) or 12.4(c) of the Master Terms, then this Participation
Agreement shall automatically cease to apply vis-à-vis such terminated Development Projects and all
references to such terminated Development Projects shall be rendered void as of such termination.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Participation Agreement shall continue to be
valid and binding upon the parties vis-à-vis the Development Projects which have not been
terminated.

(b) IBM may immediately terminate the Company’s right to participate in the Development
Project(s) and terminate this Participation Agreement as to all Development Projects if Company
suffers a Change of Control.

(c) The following Sections of this Participation Agreement shall survive and continue to bind IBM
and Company and their legal representatives, successors and assigns after the expiration of this
Participation Agreement: 1, 2, 5(c), 5(d), 5(e), 5(f), 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12; provided, however, a
Company’s surviving license and disclosure rights pursuant to Section 7 only apply to the
information as it existed at the end of its participation in the applicable Development Project.
In addition, certain provisions of the Master Terms and Project Agreement survive, as detailed in
each agreement, respectively. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Parties reach L2 (or
the applicable Development Project completion) for a Development Project before the end of the
applicable Project Term and the Parties agree to cease work on such Development Project and/or
terminate the applicable Development Agreement, then Section 5(a) survives until Company pays IBM
the Total Contribution Amount.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Participation Agreement to the contrary, if IBM is
authorized, pursuant to Section 12.6 of the Master Terms, to terminate all licenses and disclosure
rights it granted to Company, then IBM is also authorized to terminate all license and disclosure
rights granted to Company pursuant to Section 7 and the remainder of this Participation Agreement.

(e) Termination of this Participation Agreement terminates Company’s participation in all
Development Projects covered by this Participation Agreement, but such termination does not, in and
of itself, affect any other agreements between IBM and Company, including other development
projects being pursued under other participation agreements.

10. Patent Licenses/No Patent Licenses. As contemplated in Section 8 of the Master Terms,
Exhibit A sets forth whether Company is a Patent Participating Party for each of the respective
Development Projects.

11. Company Information; Participating Parties. In connection with Company’s execution of
this Participation Agreement, Company shall also complete and execute one (1) Participating Party
Notification attached as Exhibit C for each Development Project.

IBM shall provide a copy of each such Participating Party Notification to the other respective
Participation Parties in order to, among other things, demonstrate Company as a Participating Party
in each such Development Project. Notwithstanding anything in the respective Agreement to the
contrary, Company expressly permits IBM to share the following information with Third Parties who
IBM believes may wish to participate in the subject Development Project(s): (i) the identity of
the Company and (ii) whether Company is a Patent Participating Party for the applicable Development
Project(s).

12. General.

(a) This Participation Agreement supplements the respective Project Agreement (including the
Master Terms) and provides supplemental information as between IBM and the Company that was
intentionally omitted from the respective Project Agreement. Therefore, this Participation
Agreement is not a stand-alone agreement, but as between IBM and Company, merges with and becomes
part of the terms and conditions of the Project Agreement. There are no intended third party
beneficiaries to this Participation Agreement, including the other Participating Parties; provided,
however, Company is executing and providing a Participating Party Notification for each Development
Project, and such document is for the express benefit of all Participating Parties. Company agrees
to execute and deliver to IBM after the Participation Effective Date such other documents and
agreements and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate
or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Participation Agreement and the
rest of the Agreement.

(b) This Participation Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but each of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Confirmed facsimile signatures shall have the same effect as original signatures for the purpose of
executing or amending the Participation Agreement. Once signed by IBM and Company, any
reproduction of this Participation Agreement by reliable means (e.g. a facsimile, electronic
scanning, or photocopy) shall be considered an original.
