NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1: Background and Basis of Presentation
ON Semiconductor Corporation, together with its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (the Company), is a global supplier of power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components. The Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola Inc. (Motorola) prior to its August 4, 1999 recapitalization (the recapitalization).
On August 4, 1999, the Company was recapitalized and certain related transactions were effected pursuant to an agreement among ON Semiconductor Corporation, its principal domestic operating subsidiary, Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (SCI LLC), Motorola and affiliates of Texas Pacific Group (TPG). Because TPGs affiliates did not acquire substantially all of the Companys common stock, the basis of the Companys assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes was not impacted by the recapitalization.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2006, and for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005, respectively, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Companys management, the interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The footnote disclosures related to the interim financial information included herein are also unaudited. Such financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of December 31, 2005 and for the year then ended included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Note 2: Liquidity
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company reported net income of $40.4 million compared to $14.8 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2005. The Companys net income included charges of $1.1 million from restructuring, asset impairments and other, net for the quarter ended April 1, 2005. Net cash provided by operating activities was $50.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $36.2 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2005.
At March 31, 2006, the Company had $251.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, net working capital of $251.2 million, term and revolving debt of $1,062.0 million in the aggregate and a stockholders deficit of $249.7 million. The Companys long-term debt includes $637.3 million under its senior bank facilities; $260.0 million of its zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024; $95.0 million under a 1.875% senior subordinated note due 2025; $33.2 million under a loan facility with a Chinese bank due 2006 through 2013; $14.2 million under a note payable to a Japanese bank due 2006 through 2010; $14.0 million under a loan facility with a Chinese bank due 2006 through 2007; and $8.3 million of capital lease obligations. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in its various debt agreements as of March 31, 2006 and expects to remain in compliance over the next twelve months.
The Companys ability to service its long-term debt, to remain in compliance with the various covenants and restrictions contained in its financing agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on its ability to generate cash from operating activities which is subject to, among other things, its future operating performance as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond its control.

If the Company fails to generate sufficient cash from operations, it may need to sell additional equity or borrow additional funds to achieve its longer term objectives. There can be no assurance that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. Management believes that cash flows from operating activities coupled with existing cash balances will be adequate to fund the Companys operating and capital needs through March 31, 2007. To the extent that results or events differ from the Companys financial projections or business plans, its liquidity may be adversely affected.
Note 3: Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies that represent less than 20% of the related voting stock are accounted for on the cost basis. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In the second quarter of 2003, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, as amended December 2003 (FIN No. 46). FIN No. 46 requires that certain variable interest entities (VIEs) be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, as that term is defined in FIN No. 46. The Company determined that its investment in Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited (Leshan) meets the definition of a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary; therefore, the investment in Leshan should be consolidated under FIN No. 46. The Company had previously accounted for its investment in Leshan using the equity method.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the measurement of valuation allowances relating to trade and tax receivables, inventories and deferred tax assets; reserves for customer incentives, warranties, restructuring charges, tax reserves and pension obligations; the fair values of stock options and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); and future cash flows associated with long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with reputable major financial institutions. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides unsecured credit terms to its customers in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for possible losses on uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company routinely analyzes accounts receivable and considers history, customer creditworthiness, facts and circumstances specific to outstanding balances, current economic trends, and payment
5

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(unaudited)
term changes when evaluating adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For uncollectible accounts receivable the Company records a loss against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after exhaustive efforts have been made to collect and with managements approval. Generally, realized losses have been within the range of managements expectations.
Approximately 17% of the Companys revenues for the first quarter of 2006 are attributable to its various automotive customers. Certain of these automotive customers have been experiencing a downturn in their business, in part due to labor difficulties. On October 8, 2005, Delphi Corporation (Delphi), one of the Companys automotive customers, and certain of Delphis U.S. subsidiaries commenced reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Code. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Companys revenues from Delphi accounted for less than 3% of its total revenues and approximately $5.4 million of its receivables due from Delphi as of March 31, 2006 are subject to collection pending resolution of the reorganization proceedings.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis), or market. The Company records provisions for slow moving inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand compared to projected end user demand. Projected end user demand is generally based on sales during the prior twelve months. These provisions can influence results from operations. For example, when demand for a given part falls, all or a portion of the related inventory is reserved, impacting cost of sales and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously reserved are sold, a higher than normal margin will generally be recognized. General market conditions as well as the Companys design activities can cause certain of its products to become obsolete.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over estimated useful lives of 30-40 years for buildings and 3-20 years for machinery and equipment using accelerated and straight-line methods. A majority of the machinery and equipment currently in use is depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 5 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the year in which the expense is incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. Judgment is used when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of an impaired asset. The dynamic economic environment in which the Company operates and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of these impairment tests.
In 2005, management committed to a plan to sell approximately 42 acres of land and three buildings located at its corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, as well as one of its two buildings at its East Greenwich, Rhode Island facility. The remainder of the Phoenix site will continue to function as the Companys corporate headquarters as well as a manufacturing, design center and research and development facility. The remaining building in Rhode Island will continue to function as a design center and research and development facility. The

(unaudited)
property and buildings are currently being marketed for sale with a list price of between $24 million and $27 million. The net book value of the land and buildings of $3.0 million has been classified as held for sale and included in other current assets as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the Companys April 2000 acquisition of Cherry Semiconductor Corporation (Cherry). When the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142) the net carrying value of the Cherry Goodwill was $77.3 million, which included $18.4 million of accumulated amortization. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit containing goodwill with the related carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the reporting units goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the reporting units carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step test must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any. The second step test compares the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill, determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, with the carrying amount of such goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company performs its annual impairment analysis as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the underlying agreements using the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of debt, the related unamortized debt issuance costs are charged to expense. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense while the unamortized balance is included in other assets. Capitalized debt issuance costs totaled $11.9 million and $11.4 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to original equipment manufacturers, electronic manufacturing service providers, and distributors. The Company recognizes revenue on sales to original equipment manufacturers and electronic manufacturing service providers when title passes to the end customer net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances. Title to products sold to distributors typically passes at the time of shipment by the Company so the Company records accounts receivable for the amount of the transaction, reduces its inventory for the products shipped and defers the related margin in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognizes the related revenue and margin when the distributor informs the Company that it has resold the products to the end user. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days. Freight and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and are recognized as period expense during the period in which they are incurred.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Share-Based Payments
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes accounting for share-based awards exchanged for employee services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite employee service period. On April 14, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule amending the effective dates for SFAS 123R. In accordance with the new rule, the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123R are effective for the Company beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Under SFAS 123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employees requisite service period. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had no unvested awards with market or performance conditions. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, the first day of the Companys fiscal year 2006, using a modified prospective application, which provides for certain changes to the method for recognizing share-based compensation. Under the modified prospective application, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The provisions of SFAS No. 123R apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding with future service periods on the effective date. Estimated compensation expense for awards outstanding with future service periods at the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123).
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which the related benefits will likely not be realized.
In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each taxing jurisdiction are considered. If all or a portion of the remaining deferred tax assets will not be realized, the valuation allowance will be increased with a charge to income tax expense. Conversely, if the Company will ultimately be able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the related portion of the valuation allowance will be released to income as a credit to income tax expense.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. The Company recognizes potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on its estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these liabilities ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the Company determines the liabilities are no longer necessary. Additionally, the Company reviews the collectibility of its tax receivables due from various jurisdictions and when recovery is uncertain, the Company reserves amounts deemed to be uncollectible. If the receipts of these amounts occur or are assured, the reversal of the reserves previously established would result in a tax benefit in the period.

Foreign Currencies
Most of the Companys foreign subsidiaries conduct business primarily in U.S. dollars and as a result, utilize the dollar as their functional currency. For the translation of financial statements of these subsidiaries, assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are receivable or payable in cash are translated at current exchange rates while inventories and other non-monetary assets in foreign currencies are translated at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of such financial statements are included in the operating results, as are gains and losses incurred on foreign currency transactions.
The Companys remaining foreign subsidiaries utilize the local currency as their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates while revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates in effect for the period. The related translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders equity deficit.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company maintains pension plans covering certain of its employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs are calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including a discount rate for plan obligations, assumed rate of return on pension plan assets and assumed rate of compensation increases for plan employees. All of these assumptions are based upon managements judgment and consultation with an actuary, considering all known trends and uncertainties.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes asset retirement obligations (AROs) when incurred, with the initial measurement at fair value. These liabilities are accreted to full value over time through charges to income. In addition, asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the related assets carrying value and are depreciated over the assets respective useful life. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the liability as of March 31, 2006 was 6.1%. The Companys AROs consist primarily of estimated decontamination costs associated with manufacturing equipment and buildings resulting from the Companys adoption of FIN 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement ObligationsAn Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47) effective December 31, 2005. As a result of the adoption of FIN 47, the Company recorded a $2.9 million net charge for the cumulative effect of accounting change in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Contingencies
The Company is involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information available, management evaluates the relevant range and likelihood of potential outcomes. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, management records the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and estimable.

LSIs manufacturing employees currently working at the Gresham facility. At the closing of the transaction, SCI LLC will enter into several ancillary agreements including, but not limited to, a wafer supply and test agreement, intellectual property license agreement, transition services agreement and facility use agreement.
The aggregate purchase price for the acquired assets is approximately $105 million. In connection with the execution of the purchase agreement, the Company paid LSI a deposit of $10.5 million. In addition, the purchase agreement obligates SCI LLC to pay $79.5 million at the closing of the transaction and the remaining balance within 90 days thereafter. The transaction is expected to close after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in the purchase agreement, including any necessary regulatory approvals, which is expected to occur during May of 2006.
To finance a portion of the purchase, the Company completed a public offering on April 6, 2006, of common stock registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2004. In connection with this offering, the Company issued approximately 11.2 million shares (which includes 0.7 million shares issued as over-allotments) of its common stock at a price of $7.00 per share. The net proceeds from this offering received by the Company were $75.2 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.6 million ($0.14 per share) and offering expenses of $1.3 million.

The activity related to the Companys restructuring, asset impairments and other, net for programs that were not completed by December 31, 2005, is as follows (in millions):
June 2005 Restructuring Program
Cumulative charges of $3.4 million have been incurred as of March 31, 2006, related to the June 2005 restructuring program. In June 2005, the Company recorded $3.4 million of employee separation charges, which included $2.2 million related to general worldwide work force reductions of approximately 60 employees. These headcount reductions were initiated for cost savings purposes. The remaining $1.2 million of employee separation charges related to the termination of 80 employees in Malaysia resulting from the transfer of wafer fabrication manufacturing operations, which supports the standard components product line, from Malaysia to the United States. As of March 31, 2006, there were 75 employees remaining to be terminated under the June 2005 restructuring program. All terminations and associated severance payments related to these charges are expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company does not expect any additional charges related to the June 2005 restructuring program.

The employee separation costs of $7.0 million (partially offset by $0.7 million of adjustments) reflect the phase-out of manufacturing operations at the Companys East Greenwich, Rhode Island facility, the shutdown of the Companys assembly and test operations in Roznov, Czech Republic, that was announced in November 2003, and further reductions in general and administrative staffing levels in the United States and Western Europe for cost savings purposes. The employee separation charges for East Greenwich totaled $3.8 million (partially offset by $0.8 million of adjustments) for approximately 325 employees, of which $0.1 million remained unpaid for three employees remaining to be terminated as of March 31, 2006 which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2006. The Companys East Greenwich, Rhode Island manufacturing facility supports the Companys Analog Product Group.
The Czech Republic employee separation charge for approximately 460 employees totaled $2.3 million (partially increased by $0.1 million of adjustments). All terminations and associated severance payments related to this charge have been completed.
The reduction in general and administrative functions in the United States and Europe totaled $0.9 million for 10 employees of which $0.1 million remained unpaid for one employee remaining to be terminated as of March 31, 2006. This termination and associated severance payments are expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2006.
The cash exit costs of $1.2 million (partially offset by $0.1 million of adjustments) include lease and contract termination costs incurred in connection with the consolidation of sales, distribution and administrative facilities in North America as well as charges related to certain exit activities that were completed in connection with the shutdown of manufacturing operations in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. All associated payments related to these exit costs have been completed.
The Company does not expect any additional charges related to the December 2003 restructuring program. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending reserve balances related to this program is as follows (in millions):

December 2002 Restructuring Program
Cumulative charges since 2002 of $11.9 million, offset by adjustments of $2.0 million, have been incurred through March 31, 2006, related to the December 2002 restructuring program. This includes $10.1 million for employee separation costs (partially offset by $2.0 million of adjustments) relating to the termination of approximately 300 employees and approximately $1.8 million in expected lease termination and other exit costs associated with the decommissioning of certain assets. The headcount reductions began in the first quarter of 2003 and impacted both manufacturing and non-manufacturing personnel mainly in the United States. These headcount reductions were initiated for cost savings purposes. The $2.0 million of adjustments were primarily made for employees whose terminations were rescinded due to business improvements and the plan to consolidate accounting systems. As of March 31, 2006, there were 5 employees remaining to be terminated during 2006, and the related unpaid severance payments of $0.2 million are expected to be settled by June 2006.

March 2002 Restructuring Program
Cumulative charges of $7.2 million and additional charges from adjustments of $0.5 million have been incurred as of March 31, 2006, related to the March 2002 restructuring program. This includes approximately $5.0 million attributable to employee terminations resulting from the Companys decision to relocate its European administrative functions from Toulouse, France to Roznov, Czech Republic and Piestany, Slovakia for cost savings purposes. The relocation of these functions was completed in 2003. The remaining $2.2 million related to reductions in selling, general and administrative personnel primarily in the U.S, which included $0.2 million of non-cash employee stock compensation expense associated with the modification of stock options for certain terminated employees. Subsequent to March 2002, the Company recorded an additional $0.5 million in employee separation costs relating to the relocation of the administrative functions in Toulouse, France based on the Companys estimate of costs to complete the activity at the times the adjustments were recorded. As of December 31, 2005, all employees had been terminated under this program and the remaining liability relating to this restructuring of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2006 is expected to be paid by December 2006.

However, if the first date on which holders of at least $210.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Companys zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 can exercise their put right is extended (currently April 10, 2010), the term loan will mature six months prior to such date. |
February 2006 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities
In February 2006, the Company refinanced the term loans under its senior bank facilities to reduce the interest rate from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. The amended and restated credit agreement also provided for a step down provision that reduced the interest rate to LIBOR plus 2.25% since the Company maintained a specified credit rating and meets the specified leverage ratio test based on the Companys 2005 results.

March 2006 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities
The credit agreement relating to the Companys senior bank facilities includes a provision requiring an annual calculation of cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement) and the application of a portion of that cash flow as a prepayment of loans outstanding under the agreement. In March 2006, the Company obtained an amendment to this provision of the credit agreement, which requires prepayment only at the election of the debt holders. As a result of this amendment, only $0.1 million of the $26.0 million classified as a current maturity as of December 31, 2005 was paid at the election of the debt holders during the first quarter of 2006. Therefore, the remaining $25.9 million was reclassified to long-term debt as of March 31, 2006.
Debt Guarantees
The Company is the sole issuer of the zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025 and the 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 (collectively, the Notes). The Companys domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the Guarantor Subsidiaries) fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis the Companys obligations under the Notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries include SCI LLC, Semiconductor Components Industries of Rhode Island, Inc, an operating subsidiary, as well as holding companies whose net assets consist primarily of investments in the joint venture in Leshan, China and nominal equity interests in certain of the Companys other foreign subsidiaries. The Companys remaining subsidiaries (collectively, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) are not guarantors of the Notes.

Note 8: Common Stock
On April 6, 2006, the Company completed a public offering of common stock registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2004. In connection with this offering, the Company issued approximately 11.2 million shares (which includes 0.7 million shares issued as over-allotments) at a price of $7.00 per share. The net proceeds from this offering received by the Company were $75.2 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.6 million ($0.14 per share) and offering expenses of $1.3 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to partially fund the purchase of LSIs Gresham wafer fabrication facility, which has a total purchase price of $105 million. See further discussion in Note 4: Subsequent Events.
Income per share calculations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005, are as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income, adjusted for the accretion to redemption value and dividends related to the Companys preferred stock during the periods they were outstanding, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. In periods in which the Company generated income when the preferred stock was outstanding, the two-class method was used to calculate basic earnings per share whereby net income, adjusted for the accretion to redemption value and dividends related to the Companys preferred stock, is allocated on a pro-rata basis between common and preferred stockholders, as required by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 03-6, due to the preferred stockholders right to participate in dividends declared on the Companys common stock.

Diluted income per share generally would assume the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock if dilutive and also incorporates the incremental impact of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and upon the assumed conversion of the zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes. However, since basic earnings per share under the two-class method is lowered due to the allocation of undistributed earnings to preferred stockholders in periods the preferred stock was outstanding, the impact to diluted earnings per share of the assumed conversion of the convertible redeemable preferred stock into common stock is anti-dilutive, and therefore is excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. Common shares relating to the employee stock options where the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Companys common shares or the assumed exercise would have been anti-dilutive during these periods were also excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. The excluded options were 8.7 million and 15.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005, respectively.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the assumed conversion of the 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes was included in determining diluted earnings per share. The 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes are convertible into cash up to the par value of $95.0 million, based on an initial conversion price of approximately $7.00 per share. The excess of fair value over par value is convertible into stock. As of March 31, 2006, the closing price of the Companys common stock was $7.26; thus, the effects of an assumed net share settlement would have been dilutive and therefore were included.
For the assumed conversion of the zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes, $0.4 million of amortization expense of debt issuance costs for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 was added back to net income to calculate diluted earnings per share.
Note 9: Employee Stock Benefit Plans
Employee Stock Options
The Company adopted the ON Semiconductor 1999 Founders Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Plan), which is an incentive plan for key employees, directors and consultants. A total of 11.6 million shares of the Companys common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which is authorized to, among other things, select the key employees, directors and consultants who will receive grants and determine the exercise prices and vesting schedules of the options. Prior to the existence of a public market for the Companys common stock, the Board of Directors determined fair market value of the share based payment awards to be granted under the 1999 Plan.
On February 17, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2000 Plan) which provides key employees, directors and consultants with various equity-based incentives as described in the plan document. The 2000 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which is authorized to determine, among other things, the key employees, directors or consultants who will receive awards under the plan, the amount and type of award, exercise prices or performance criteria, if applicable, and vesting schedules. Through December 31, 2004, stockholders had approved amendments to the 2000 Plan which have increased the number of shares of the Companys common stock reserved and available for grant to 30.5 million, plus an additional number of shares of the Companys common stock equal to 3% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock effective automatically on January 1st of each year beginning January 1, 2005 and ending January 1, 2010. As of January 1, 2006 and 2005, the number of shares of the Companys common stock reserved and available for grant increased by 9.3 million and 7.7 million, respectively to 47.5 million and
21
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(unaudited)
38.2 million, from 30.5 million shares as of December 31, 2004, in accordance with the approved amendments. The 2000 Plan has also been amended to increase the maximum number of options granted to any one participant during a fiscal year from 1.0 million shares to 2.5 million, and to allow the Board of Directors to adopt a program of exchanging underwater options for newly issued options.
Generally, the options granted under both plans vest over a period of four years and have a term of 10 years. Under the 1999 Plan, all outstanding options and under the 2000 Plan certain outstanding options vest automatically upon a change of control, as defined, provided the option holder is employed by the Company on the date of the change in control. Under the 2000 Plan, certain other outstanding options vest upon a change of control if the Board of Directors of the Company, at its discretion, provides for acceleration of the vesting of said options. Upon the termination of an option holders employment, all unvested options will immediately terminate and vested options will generally remain exercisable for a period of 90 days after date of termination (one year in the case of death or disability), unless otherwise specified in an option holders employment or stock option agreement.
There was an aggregate of 19.0 million and 13.6 million shares of common stock available for grant under both plans at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation Information under SFAS No. 123R
The fair value of each option grant in 2005 and thereafter is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model. In past years, the Company has used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of its options. The lattice model uses: 1) an implied volatility curve derived from Hestons stochastic volatility model and calibrated using a regression analysis instead of a single volatility assumption as used in the Black-Scholes model; 2) an employee exercise behavior model (based on an analysis of historical exercise behavior); and 3) the treasury yield curve to calculate the fair value of each option grant.
The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $2.97 per share and was calculated using the lattice model with the following weighted-average assumptions (annualized percentages):
Quarter Ended March 31, 2006 |
|||
Volatility |
49.0 | % | |
Risk-free interest rate |
4.7 | % | |
Post-vesting forfeiture rate |
9.3 | % | |
Rate of exercise |
28.6 | % |
The Company used implied volatility of market-traded options of the Companys stock exclusively for the expected volatility assumption input to the lattice model. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the Companys employee stock options. The Company has historically not declared dividends, thus the dividend yield was assumed to be zero in the lattice model. The post-vesting forfeiture rate and rate of exercise factor are based on the Companys historical option cancellation and employee exercise information, respectively. The rate of exercise indicates the annual rate at which vested, in-the-money options have historically been exercised early.
The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is a derived output of the lattice model. The expected life of employee stock options is impacted by all of the underlying assumptions used in the Companys model. The lattice model
22
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(unaudited)
assumes that employees exercise behavior is a function of the options remaining contractual life and the extent to which the option is in-the-money (i.e., the average stock price during the period is above the strike price of the stock option). The lattice model estimates the probability of exercise as a function of these two variables based on the history of exercises and cancellations on past option grants made by the Company. The expected life for options granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 derived from the lattice model was 4.0 years.
In the Companys pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Pre-vesting forfeitures were estimated to be approximately 16% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 based on historical experience.
The Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of shares issued under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The weighted-average fair value of shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $1.33. The weighted-average assumptions used in the pricing model are as follows:

The Company recorded $0.4 million in share-based compensation expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 related to share-based awards granted during the first quarter of 2006. This included expense related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $0.2 million and an immaterial amount of expense related to

Pro Forma Information under SFAS No. 123 for the quarter ended April 1, 2005
Prior to adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recorded estimated compensation expense for employee stock options based upon their intrinsic value on the date of grant pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and provided the required pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123. Because the Company established the exercise price based on the fair market value of the Companys stock at the date of grant, the stock options had no intrinsic value upon grant, and therefore no estimated expense was recorded prior to adopting SFAS No. 123R.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123 for the quarter ended April 1, 2005, the estimated fair value of the stock options was assumed to be amortized to expense over the stock options vesting periods. The pro forma effects of recognizing estimated compensation expense under the fair value method on net income and earnings per common share for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Net stock options, after forfeitures and cancellations, granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 represented 1.2% and 1.8% of outstanding shares as of the beginning of each such fiscal quarter, respectively. Total stock options granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 represented 1.4% and 2.0% of outstanding shares as of the end of each such fiscal quarter, respectively.
At March 31, 2006, total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date was $20.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years. The total share-based compensation cost of stock options capitalized as part of inventory was negligible as of March 31, 2006. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $7.1 million. The Company recorded cash received from the exercise of stock options of $5.2 million and cash from issuance of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $0.5 million and no related tax benefits during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Restricted Stock Units
The Companys stock compensation plan permits the granting of restricted stock units to eligible employees and non-employee directors at fair market value at the date of the grant. Restricted stock units are payable in shares of the Companys stock upon vesting. The following table presents a summary of the status of the Companys nonvested restricted stock units as of March 31, 2006, and changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $0.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock units granted under the plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over the vesting period. Compensation expense related to restricted stock units was immaterial for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had approximately 0.1 million restricted stock units outstanding.
Employee Stock Purchase Plans
On February 17, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Subject to local legal requirements, each of the Companys eligible employees has the right to elect to have up to 10% of their payroll applied towards the purchase of shares of the Companys common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of such shares as determined under the plan. Employees are limited to annual purchases of $25,000 under this plan. In addition, during each quarterly offering period, employees may not purchase stock exceeding the lesser of (i) 500 shares, or (ii) the number of shares equal to $6,250 divided by the fair market value of the stock on the first day of the offering period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and the quarter ended April 1, 2005, employees purchased approximately 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares under the plan,

respectively. Through December 31, 2004, shareholders have approved amendments to the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which have increased the number of shares of the Companys common stock issuable thereunder to 8.5 million shares. As of March 31, 2006, there were 3.4 million shares available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Other Contingencies
The Companys manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona is located on property that is a Superfund site, a property listed on the National Priorities List and subject to clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Motorola is actively involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of the August 4, 1999 recapitalization, Motorola has retained responsibility for this contamination, and has agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter.
Manufacturing facilities in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic have ongoing remediation projects to respond to releases of hazardous substances that occurred during the years that these facilities were operated by government-owned entities. In each case, these remediation projects consist primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded at each of the respective locations. The governments of the Czech Republic and Slovakia have agreed to indemnify the Company and the respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Based upon the information available, total future remediation costs to the Company are not expected to be material.
The Companys facility in East Greenwich, Rhode Island has adjoining property that has localized soil contamination. In connection with the purchase of the facility, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Covenant Not To Sue with the State of Rhode Island. This agreement requires that remedial actions be undertaken and a quarterly groundwater monitoring program be initiated by the former owners of the property. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter are not expected to be material.

Indemnification Contingencies
The Company is a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by the Company require it to indemnify the other party against losses due to intellectual property infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, the Companys negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.
The Company is a party to various agreements with Motorola which were entered into in connection with the Companys separation from Motorola. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify Motorola for losses due to, for example, breach of representations and warranties and covenants, damages arising from assumed liabilities or relating to allocated assets, and for specified environmental matters. The Companys obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and payment by the Company is conditioned on Motorola making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge Motorolas claims.
The Company and its subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. The Company maintains directors and officers insurance, which should enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
In addition to the above, from time to time the Company provides standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with sales of its securities and the engagement of financial advisors and also provides indemnities that protect the counterparties to these contracts in the event they suffer damages as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or in certain other circumstances relating to the sale of securities or their engagement by the Company.
While the Companys future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of the Companys obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not believe that any amounts that it may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Legal Matters
The Company is currently involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including the matters described in the next paragraphs, will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Securities Class Action Litigation. During the period July 5, 2001 through July 27, 2001, the Company was named as a defendant in three shareholder class action lawsuits that were filed in federal court in New York
28
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(unaudited)
City against the Company and certain of its former officers, current and former directors and the underwriters for its initial public offering. The lawsuits allege violations of the federal securities laws and have been docketed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as: Abrams v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6114; Breuer v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6287; and Cohen v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6942. On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a single consolidated amended complaint that supersedes the individual complaints originally filed. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the underwriters of the Companys initial public offering improperly required their customers to pay the underwriters excessive commissions and to agree to buy additional shares of the Companys common stock in the aftermarket as conditions of receiving shares in the Companys initial public offering. The amended complaint further alleges that these supposed practices of the underwriters should have been disclosed in the Companys initial public offering prospectus and registration statement. The amended complaint alleges violations of both the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and seeks unspecified damages. Management understands that various other plaintiffs have filed substantially similar class action cases against approximately 300 other publicly-traded companies and their public offering underwriters in New York City, which have all been transferred, along with the case against the Company, to a single federal district judge for purposes of coordinated case management. The Company believes that the claims against it are without merit and have defended, and intend to continue to defend, the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, however, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of these claims will be favorable for it.
On July 15, 2002, together with the other issuer defendants, the Company filed a collective motion to dismiss the consolidated, amended complaints against the issuers on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants. The underwriters also filed separate motions to dismiss the claims against them. In addition, the parties have stipulated to the voluntary dismissal without prejudice of the Companys individual former officers and current and former directors who were named as defendants in the Companys litigation, and they are no longer parties to the litigation. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued its ruling on the motions to dismiss filed by the underwriter and issuer defendants. In that ruling the Court granted in part and denied in part those motions. As to the claims brought against the Company under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws, the Court dismissed all of these claims with prejudice, and refused to allow plaintiffs the opportunity to re-plead these claims. As to the claims brought under the registration provisions of the securities laws, which do not require that intent to defraud be pleaded, the Court denied the motion to dismiss these claims as to the Company and as to substantially all of the other issuer defendants as well. The Court also denied the underwriter defendants motion to dismiss in all respects.
In June 2003, upon the determination of a special independent committee of the Companys Board of Directors, the Company elected to participate in a proposed settlement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If ultimately approved by the Court, this proposed settlement would result in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against the Company and against any of the other issuer defendants who elect to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the underwriter defendants, and the litigation against those defendants is continuing. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will be guaranteed a recovery of $1 billion by the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling less than $1 billion are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, the class members will be entitled to recover the difference between $1 billion and the aggregate amount of those recoveries from the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations to the class members under
29

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(unaudited)
the proposed settlement will be satisfied. In addition, the Company and any other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the class members certain claims that the Company may have against the underwriters of the Companys initial public offerings.
The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers directors and officers liability insurance policy proceeds, as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuers insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that issuers allocable share of the settlement costs. The Company expects that its insurance proceeds will be sufficient for these purposes and that the Company will not otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement.
Consummation of the proposed settlement is conditioned upon obtaining approval by the Court. On September 1, 2005, the Court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement and directed that notice of the terms of the proposed settlement be provided to class members. Thereafter, the Court held a fairness hearing on April 24, 2006, at which objections to the proposed settlement were heard. After the fairness hearing, the Court took under advisement whether to grant final approval to the proposed settlement.
If the proposed settlement described above is not consummated, the Company intends to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. While the Company can make no promises or guarantees as to the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that the final result of these actions will have no material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
AMS Matter. On March 22, 2005, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Austriamicrosystems, AG (AMS) regarding a pending lawsuit. Under the settlement agreement the Company paid AMS $2.4 million in cash upon the signing of the agreement. The Company had previously reserved $2.5 million as a reasonable loss estimate of the loss exposure for this matter. The settlement agreement includes, among other things, a full and complete mutual release of any and all claims, except for any claims arising out of the arbitration described below. It also provides that the pending litigation will be dismissed with prejudice and each party will bear its own costs and fees incurred in connection with the litigation. The dismissal occurred shortly after the signing of the agreement. The settlement agreement requires that the Company and AMS enter into final, binding and non-appealable arbitration limited to one unresolved issue associated with the litigation. The arbitration was held on April 12 through April 14, 2006 and the Company is currently awaiting a ruling by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator rules in favor of AMS, the Company will pay an additional $2.2 million within fifteen days of the ruling by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator rules in favor of the Company, AMS will not be entitled to any additional amounts of money from the Company. On April 27, 2006, the arbitrator ruled in the Companys favor. As a result of this ruling, AMS is entitled to no money from the Company regarding this issue. Each party shall bear its own costs and fees incurred in connection with the arbitration, and the parties will each pay fifty percent of the costs and fees of the arbitrator.
The matter originated out of an action filed in October 2003 in Arizona Superior Court by AMS against the Company. The complaint (i) alleged that the Company breached a foundry agreement entered into in 2000 under which AMS was to provide services to the Company, and (ii) claimed tortious interference with contract. The complaint sought approximately $5.8 million in contract damages, plus interest, costs, attorneys fees and exemplary damages.

Note 11: Related Party Transactions
As described in Note 1: Background and Basis of Presentation, on August 4, 1999, certain related transactions were effected pursuant to an agreement among the Company, SCI LLC and TPG. As of March 31, 2006, TPG owned approximately 53% of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock.
In connection with the amendment to the Companys senior bank facilities in August 2001, any management fees payable to TPG or its affiliates by the Company will not accrue and not be payable in cash until the Companys quarterly financial statements demonstrate that certain financial ratios have been achieved. TPG subsequently agreed that these fees will not accrue during the period in which the Company was not permitted to pay such fees in cash. During 2004, no TPG management fee was paid or accrued. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company met the requisite conditions under its amended debt agreements to allow for such annual management fee to resume. However, no services were performed by TPG during the fourth quarter of 2004, and accordingly no annual management fees were accrued for or paid during the year. During the first quarter of 2005, TPG waived the right to any future management fee subject to the Company paying certain costs and expenses associated with a resale shelf registration statement of the Companys common stock presently owned by TPG.
Note 12: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached consensus on EITF Issue No. 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty (Issue No. 04-13). In certain situations, a company may enter into nonmonetary transactions to sell inventory to another company in the same line of business from which it also purchases inventory. Under Issue No. 04-13, in general, an entity is required to treat sales and purchases of inventory between the entity and the same counterparty as one transaction for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions when such transactions are entered into in contemplation of each other. When such transactions are legally contingent on each other, they are considered to have been entered into in contemplation of each other. The EITF also agreed on other factors that should be considered in determining whether transactions have been entered into in contemplation of each other. Issue No. 04-13 will be effective for all new arrangements entered into in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The Companys adoption of the provisions of Issue No. 04-13 are not expected to impact its financial condition or results of operations.
In February of 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid InstrumentsAn Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 144 (SFAS No. 155). SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. It also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FASB Statement No. 133, and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. Furthermore, SFAS No. 155 clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and it amends FASB Statement No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The Companys adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to impact its financial condition or results of operations.

Note 13: Segment Information
The Company is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of a wide variety of semiconductor components. The Company has four main product lines: power management and standard analog devices, metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) power devices, high frequency clock and data management devices and standard components.
The Companys reportable segments are aligned internally as the Integrated Power Group and the Analog Products Group. These segments represent managements view of the Companys businesses and inform how it evaluates the progress of its major components. The power management and standard analog product line as well as the high frequency clock and data management product line are aligned under the Analog Products Group, while the MOS power devices product line and the standard components product line are aligned under the Integrated Power Group. The standard logic product unit, however, whose results are included in our Analog Products Group segment, is part of our standard components product line. The standard logic product unit had revenues of approximately $32.1 million and $22.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and in the quarter ended April 1, 2005, respectively.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company does not specifically identify and allocate any assets by operating segment. The Company evaluates performance based on income or loss from operations before interest, nonrecurring gains and losses, foreign exchange gains and losses, income taxes and certain other unallocated expenses.
The Companys wafer manufacturing facilities fabricate integrated circuits for all business units as necessary and their operating costs are reflected in the segments cost of revenues on the basis of product costs. Because operating segments are generally defined by the products they design and sell, they do not make sales to each other. The Company does not discretely allocate assets to its operating segments, nor does management evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.
In addition to the operating segments mentioned above, the Company also operates global operations, sales and marketing, information systems, finance and administration groups that are led by vice presidents who report to the Chief Executive Officer. The expenses of these groups are allocated to the operating segments based on specific and general criteria and are included in the operating results reported below. The aggregate amount of the Companys goodwill balance of $77.3 million as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 relates to the Analog Products Group. The Company does not allocate income taxes or interest expense to its operating segments as the operating segments are principally evaluated on operating profit before interest and taxes. Additionally, restructuring, asset impairments and other, net and certain other manufacturing and operating expenses, which include corporate research and development costs, inventory reserves and miscellaneous nonrecurring expenses, are not allocated to any product segment.

The Company operates in various geographic locations. Sales to unaffiliated customers have little correlation with the location of manufacturers. It is, therefore, not meaningful to present operating profit by geographic location. The Company conducts a substantial portion of its operations outside of the United States and is subject to risks associated with non-U.S. operations, such as political risks, currency controls and fluctuations, tariffs, import controls and air transportation.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2006. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors. Actual results could differ materially because of certain factors discussed below or elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Executive Overview
This section presents summary information regarding our industry, markets and operating trends only. For further information regarding the events summarized herein, you should read Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its entirety.
Industry Overview
We participate in unit and revenue surveys and use data summarized by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) group to evaluate overall semiconductor market trends and also to track our progress against the total market in the areas we provide semiconductor components. The most recently published estimates of WSTS project a compound annual growth rate in our total addressable market of approximately 8% during 2006 through 2008. These are projections and may not be indicative of actual results. Other industry data also indicate that the market for our products has begun to expand after the recent and prolonged downturn.
Business and Company Overview
We classify our products broadly as power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components. We design, manufacture and market an extensive portfolio of semiconductor components that addresses the design needs of sophisticated electronic systems and products. Our power management semiconductor components control, convert, protect and monitor the supply of power to the different elements within a wide variety of electronic devices. Our data management semiconductor components provide high-performance clock management and data flow management for precision computing and communications systems. Our standard semiconductor components serve as building block components within virtually all electronic devices. These various products fall into the logic, analog and discrete categories used by WSTS.
We serve a broad base of end-user markets, including computing, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, wireless communications and networking. Applications for our products in these markets include portable electronics, computers, game stations, servers, automotive and industrial automation control systems, routers, switches, storage-area networks and automated test equipment.
We have four main product lines: power management and standard analog devices, metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) power devices, high frequency clock and data management devices and standard components. Our extensive portfolio of devices enables us to offer advanced integrated circuits and the building block components that deliver system level functionality and design solutions. Our product portfolio currently comprises approximately 30,800 products and we shipped approximately 7.6 billion units in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to approximately 6.5 billion units in the first quarter of 2005. We specialize in micro packages, which offer increased performance characteristics while reducing the critical board space inside todays ever shrinking electronic devices. We believe that our ability to offer a broad range of products provides our customers with single source purchasing on a cost-effective and timely basis.
Our reportable segments, under generally accepted accounting principles, are aligned internally as the Integrated Power Group and the Analog Products Group. In general, the power management and standard analog product line as well as the high frequency clock and data management product line are aligned under the Analog
35
Products Group, while the MOS power devices product line and the standard components product line are aligned under the Integrated Power Group. Our discussion of customers, trends and competitive conditions can generally be aligned accordingly. Our standard logic product unit, however, whose results are included in the Analog Products Group segment, is part of our standard components product line. The standard logic product unit had revenues of approximately $32.1 million and $22.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and the quarter ended April 1, 2005, respectively. In instances where the characteristics of the standard components product line are significantly impacted by the standard logic product unit, these impacts are addressed separately herein.
We have approximately 170 direct customers worldwide, and we also service approximately 318 significant original equipment manufacturers indirectly through our distributor and electronic manufacturing service provider customers. Our direct and indirect customers include: (1) leading original equipment manufacturers in a broad variety of industries, such as Intel, Motorola, Nokia, Philips, Siemens and Sony; (2) electronic manufacturing service providers, such as Flextronics, Jabil and Solectron; and (3) global distributors, such as Arrow, Avnet, EBV Elektronik, Future, Solomon Enterprise and World Peace.
We currently have major design operations in Arizona, Rhode Island, Texas, China, the Czech Republic, Korea, and France, and we currently operate manufacturing facilities in Arizona, China, the Czech Republic, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Slovakia. We ceased manufacturing operations at our Rhode Island manufacturing facility in the second quarter of 2005 and exited the facility in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Rhode Island manufacturing facility is currently being marketed for sale. In the second quarter of 2005, we announced the transfer of wafer fabrication manufacturing operations from our front end fabrication facility in Malaysia to Arizona. We plan to complete this transfer by the first quarter of 2007 and to maintain the fabrication facility in Malaysia for other manufacturing processes. The transfer from Malaysia to Arizona did not impact our assembly and test operations in Malaysia. We also plan to sell certain unused portions of our property at our corporate headquarters in Arizona and use some of the proceeds from the sale to upgrade portions of our corporate headquarters. We will maintain our headquarters offices and existing manufacturing facilities on the portions of the property that are not for sale.
Effective April 5, 2006, we, through our principal domestic operating subsidiary, SCI LLC, entered into an asset purchase agreement with LSI Logic Corporation (LSI) to purchase LSIs Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility, including real property, tangible personal property, certain intellectual property, other specified manufacturing equipment and related information. The assets to be purchased include an approximately 83 acre campus with an estimated 500,000 square feet of building space of which approximately 98,000 square feet is clean room. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we will offer employment to substantially all of LSIs manufacturing employees currently working at the Gresham facility. At the closing of the transaction, we will enter into several ancillary agreements including, but not limited to, a wafer supply and test agreement, intellectual property license agreement, transition services agreement and facility use agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the acquired assets is approximately $105 million. The transaction is expected to close after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in the purchase agreement. See Key Financing EventsApril 2006 Equity Offering for further discussion.
Historically, the semiconductor industry has been highly cyclical. During a down cycle, unit demand and pricing have tended to fall in tandem, resulting in revenue declines. In response to such declines, manufacturers have shut down production capacity. When new applications or other factors have eventually caused demand to strengthen, production volumes have eventually stabilized and then grown again. As market unit demand has reached levels above capacity production capabilities, shortages have begun to occur, which typically has caused pricing power to swing back from customers to manufacturers, thus prompting further capacity expansion. Such expansion has typically resulted in overcapacity following a decrease in demand, which has triggered another similar cycle.
During the first quarter of 2006, we experienced a decrease in the end market unit demand and price decreases which resulted in decreased revenue compared to our previous quarter. However, we enjoyed growth in bookings during the first quarter with the book to bill ratio above one for the fourth consecutive quarter. We expect price declines during 2006 to be moderate and we will continue to monitor the supply and demand environment to determine if pricing could be held or increased.

Return to Profitability
In the third quarter of 2004 we returned to profitability after 14 consecutive quarters of net losses. We were profitable during each quarter of 2005 and during the first quarter of 2006 as well. Our net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, was $40.4 million. This return to profitability was the result of increased demand for our products in the market and cost savings from profitability enhancement programs and restructuring programs, as well as debt refinancing opportunities that have substantially reduced our interest costs.
Cost Savings and Restructuring Activities
Since the fourth quarter of 2000, we have been implementing profitability enhancement programs to improve our cost structure and, as a result, we expect to rank, as compared to our primary competitors, among the lowest in terms of cost structure.
Our 2004 profitability enhancement program includes the following:
| The phase out of our manufacturing operations in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, which was announced in December 2003, and our assembly and test operations in the Czech Republic, which was announced in November 2003. We began to realize the full benefit of savings from this program by the end of the fourth quarter of 2005, when the closure of our operations in East Greenwich was completed with all manufacturing equipment decommissioned and removed. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we successfully completed the work related to the decommissioning of the manufacturing building, which is currently being marketed for sale. We expect to incur marginal operating expenses in 2006 to maintain the building until the sale is completed. Overall, we expect the full cost savings from these activities will produce at least $20 million to $25 million of annual cost savings beginning in the first quarter of 2006. |
| In the second quarter of 2004, we evaluated our operations in the Czech Republic and determined certain overhead functions were no longer necessary as a result of our previously announced transfer of our back-end manufacturing lines in Roznov to Malaysia and the Philippines. Following the reduction of such overhead functions, we realized approximately $7.7 million of actual cost savings in 2005. |
| In the first quarter of 2004, we entered into a five-year agreement with respect to the outsourcing of information technology infrastructure. As part of the agreement, we sold certain system software modules, resulting in a loss on disposal of assets of $12.0 million. As a result of these actions, starting in the second quarter of 2004, we began to realize approximately $4.0 million of annualized cost savings that reduces our general and administrative expenses due to reduced depreciation expense. |
More recently, in the second quarter of 2005, we announced our plan to transfer wafer fabrication operations from our facility in Malaysia to our facility in Arizona by the end of 2006, which will eliminate approximately 80 jobs. Due to the recently increased demand and increased backlog for products sourced out of the Malaysia and Arizona wafer fabrication operations, we expect to continue operating the wafer fabrication facility in Malaysia through the fourth quarter of 2006. As a result of the transfer of wafer fabrication operations from our facility in Malaysia to our facility in Arizona, we expect to realize costs savings of approximately $25.0 million to $30.0 million over the next five years, beginning by the end of 2006. Savings during 2006 are expected to be insignificant due to transition and other costs; however, savings during 2007 are expected to be approximately $7 million.
Although we have production at several locations, we have initiated process improvements and selective capital acquisitions that we expect will increase our overall capacity. Our profitability enhancement programs will continue to focus on:
| consolidation of manufacturing sites to improve economies of scale; |
| transfer of production to lower cost regions; |
| increase in die manufacturing capacity in a cost-effective manner by moving production from 4 to 6 wafers and increasing the number of die per square inch; |
37
| reduction of the number of new product platforms and process flows; and |
| focusing production on profitable product families. |
New Product Innovation
As a result of the success of our research and development initiatives, excluding the introduction of lead-free products, we introduced 133 new products in 2005 and an additional 43 new products in the first quarter of 2006. Our new product development efforts continue to be focused on building solutions in power management that appeal to customers in focused market segments and across multiple high growth applications. It is our practice to regularly re-evaluate our research and development spending, to assess the deployment of resources and to review the funding of high growth technologies regularly. We deploy people and capital with the goal of maximizing our investment in research and development in order to position us for continued growth. As a result, we often invest opportunistically to refresh existing products in our commodity analog, standard component, MOS power and clock and data management products. We invest in these initiatives when we believe there is a strong customer demand or opportunities to innovate our current portfolio in high growth markets and applications.
Debt Reduction and Financing Activities
Since our 1999 recapitalization, we have had relatively high levels of long-term debt as compared to our principal competitors. During 2002 and 2003, we engaged in several debt refinancing transactions, which extended a portion of our debt maturities. Some of the transactions that extended our debt maturities also resulted in an increase in our overall interest expense and others lowered our overall interest expense. In connection with these transactions, we amended our senior bank facilities to, among other things, make our financial covenants less restrictive on the whole.
In the second half of 2005 we reduced our interest costs by issuing 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes and using the proceeds from the issuance, along with cash on hand, to repay our junior subordinated note, which carried a significantly higher interest rate than the convertible senior subordinated notes. In November 2005, our outstanding Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock beneficially owned by an affiliate of the Texas Pacific Group (TPG) was converted into common stock, which eliminated the accrual of preferred stock dividends. Additionally, in December 2004 and also in February 2006 we refinanced the term loans under our senior bank facilities to reduce the interest rate on the senior bank facilities.
In April 2006 we completed a public offering of 11.2 million shares (which includes 0.7 million shares issued as over-allotments) of our common stock issued approximately at a price of $7.00 per share. The net proceeds of $75.2 million from this offering will be used to partially fund the purchase of LSIs Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility, which has a total purchase price of $105 million.
The details of each of these financing events are outlined in the following sections. Also, see Liquidity and Capital Resources elsewhere in this report and Note 4 Subsequent Events and Note 8 Common Stock of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Outlook
Not including any increased revenue associated with completing the purchase of the Gresham facility and based upon booking trends, backlog levels and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that revenues will be approximately $350 to $355 million in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to revenues of $302.8 million in the second quarter of 2005 and revenues of $334.0 million in the first quarter of 2006. Backlog levels at the beginning of the second quarter of 2006 were up from backlog levels at the beginning of the first quarter of 2006, and represent well over 90 percent of our anticipated second quarter 2006 revenues. We expect average selling
38
prices will be flat to slightly up sequentially in the second quarter of 2006. We also expect that gross margins will improve by between 50 to 100 basis points. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, we are required to expense stock based compensation in accordance with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) Share Based Payment. We currently expect this expense to be approximately $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2006.
For the second quarter of 2006, we expect selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses at approximately 12% of revenues and research and development expenses at approximately 7% of revenues. We anticipate that net interest expense will be approximately $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2006. For the second quarter of 2006, and not including any impact associated with completing the purchase of the Gresham facility, we expect cash capital expenditures of approximately $35 million.

Revenues
Revenues were $334.0 million and $302.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and the quarter ended April 1, 2005, respectively. The increase from the first quarter of 2005 to the first quarter of 2006 was primarily due to increased sales volume partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices by approximately 10.0%. As indicated in the table below, the increase was most pronounced in the standard components and MOS power devices product lines. Our average selling prices in the first quarter of 2006 relative to the fourth quarter of 2005 decreased by approximately 1.1%. The revenues by product line are as follows (dollars in millions):

Revenues from our power management and standard analog product line increased $9.1 million, or 9.9%, in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase can be attributed to an increase in revenues from the computing and consumer electronics end markets, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from the automotive electronics end markets.
Revenues from MOS power devices increased $10.6 million, or 20.7%, in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase can be primarily attributed to an increase in revenues from the consumer electronics and wireless communications end markets, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the computing end market and to the discontinuance of select products sold into the automotive electronics end markets.
Revenues from high frequency clock and data management products increased $0.7 million, or 3.7%, in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase can be attributed to an increase in revenues from the networking and consumer electronics end markets, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the industrial electronics end market.
Revenues from standard components increased $11.2 million, or 8.0%, in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. This product line consists of many products that are available from numerous competitors in the marketplace and is thus heavily influenced by pricing pressures and general market conditions. The increase in revenue can be primarily attributed to an increase in revenues from the wireless communications and computing end markets, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the automotive electronics end market.

A majority of our end customers, served directly or through distribution channels, are manufacturers of electronic devices. In recent years, there has been a trend toward moving such manufacturing activities to lower cost regions, particularly in Asia. Our shift in revenues by geographic area reflects this trend.
Sales to our three largest customers accounted for approximately 11%, 10% and 9% of our revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and 11%, 9% and 8% during the quarter ended April 1, 2005. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, approximately 60% of revenues from our largest three customers related to the Integrated Power Group and approximately 40% of revenues related to the Analog Products Group.
Approximately 17% of our revenues for the first quarter of 2006 are attributable to our various automotive customers. Certain of these automotive customers have been experiencing a downturn in their business, in part due to labor difficulties. On October 8, 2005, Delphi Corporation (Delphi), one of our automotive customers, and certain of Delphis U.S. subsidiaries commenced reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Code. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, our revenues from Delphi accounted for less than 3% of our total annual revenues and approximately $5.4 million of our receivables due from Delphi as of March 31, 2006 are subject to collection pending resolution of the reorganization proceedings. We had reserved $1.6 million against our receivable from Delphi as of March 31, 2006.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit was $117.7 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $96.2 million in the first quarter of 2005. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit was 35.2% in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to 31.8% in the first quarter of 2005. Gross profit increased during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to cost savings from our 2004 profitability enhancement programs and increased sales volume, which were partially offset by declines in average selling prices.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses were $23.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $23.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of $0.5 million, or 2.2%. Research and development expenses represented 7.1% and 7.6% of revenues in the first quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2005, respectively. The $0.5 million increase in research and development is primarily attributable to increased headcount of our research and development personnel, an increase in employee performance bonuses as a result of our achievement of certain financial goals and increased stock compensation expense as a result of our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (SFAS No. 123R) during the first quarter of 2006, partially offset by the absence of software application costs associated with the implementation of cost management technology that occurred during the first quarter of 2005.
Selling and marketing expenses were $21.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $19.3 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of $1.7 million, or 8.8%. Selling and marketing expenses represented 6.3% and 6.4% of revenues in the first quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2005, respectively. The $1.7 million increase in selling and marketing expenses is primarily attributable to increased headcount of selling and marketing personnel primarily in our Asia Pacific locations due to our increased revenue concentration in this region, an increase in employee performance bonuses as a result of our achievement of certain financial goals and increased stock compensation expense as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 123R during the first quarter of 2006.
General and administrative expenses were $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $20.4 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing a decrease of $0.2 million, or 1.0%. General and administrative expenses represented 6.0% and 6.7% of revenues in the first quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2005, respectively. The $0.2 million decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to decreased costs for external services, including legal and consulting services, and decreased costs of information
41
technology outsourcing, partially offset by an increase in employee performance bonuses as a result of our achievement of certain financial goals and increased stock compensation expense as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 123R during the first quarter of 2006.
Other Operating ExpensesRestructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net
There were no restructuring, asset impairments and other, net charges during the first quarter of 2006.
Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net were $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2005. During the first quarter of 2005, we recorded $1.3 million of employee separation charges and $0.3 million of cash exit costs related to the transfer of certain design center functions from Grenoble, France to Toulouse, France as well as $0.1 million of exit costs related to certain exit activities that were completed in connection with the shutdown of manufacturing operations in East Greenwich, Rhode Island that was announced in December 2003. These costs were offset by a gain on sale of land at East Greenwich of $0.5 million and the reversal of a $0.1 million reserve for cash exit costs related to the June 2002 restructuring activity that are no longer expected to be incurred.
For more information on our restructuring activity see Note 5 Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2005. The decrease in interest expense was primarily a result of interest savings during the first quarter of 2006 that resulted from the repayment of the 10% junior subordinated note that occurred during the second half of 2005, which was partially financed with proceeds from the issuance of 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025. Our average month-end long-term debt balance (including current maturities) in the first quarter of 2006 was $1,065.1 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.9% compared to $1,148.8 million and a weighted average interest rate of 5.1% in the first quarter of 2005. See also Liquidity and Capital ResourcesKey Financing Events for a description of our refinancing activities.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2005. The provision related to income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign operations. Due to our continuing domestic tax losses and tax rate differentials in our foreign subsidiaries, our effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate.

See Note 7 Long-Term Debt of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
In the normal course of our business, we enter into various operating leases for equipment including our mainframe computer system, desktop computers, communications, foundry equipment and service agreements relating to this equipment.
Our other long-term contractual obligations consist of estimated payments to fund liabilities that have been accrued in our consolidated balance sheet for our foreign pension plans. (See Note 6 Balance Sheet Information of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.)
The table above does not include commitments under the asset purchase agreement to purchase LSIs Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility that we entered into effective April 5, 2006. The aggregate purchase price for the acquired assets is approximately $105 million. In connection with the execution of the purchase agreement, we paid LSI a deposit of $10.5 million. In addition, the purchase agreement obligates us to pay $79.5 million at the closing of the transaction and the remaining balance within 90 days thereafter. The transaction is expected to occur during May of 2006. To finance a portion of the purchase, we completed a public offering on April 6, 2006, of common stock registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2004. In connection with this offering, we issued approximately 11.2 million shares of our common stock at a price of $7.00 per share. The net proceeds from this offering were $75.2 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.6 million ($0.14 per share) and offering expenses of $1.3 million. See Key Financing EventsApril 2006 Equity Offering for further discussion.
Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $251.3 million at March 31, 2006. We believe that our cash flows from operations, coupled with existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs over the next 12 months. Our senior bank facilities include a $25.0 million revolving facility. Letters of credit totaling $11.4 million were outstanding under the revolving facility at March 31, 2006. We amended our primary foreign exchange hedging agreement to provide for termination if at any time the amount available under our revolving credit facility is less than $2.5 million.
Contingencies
We are a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which we may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by us require us to indemnify the other party against losses due to intellectual property infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, our negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.
We are a party to various agreements with Motorola, a former affiliate, which were entered into in connection with our separation from Motorola. Pursuant to these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify Motorola for losses due to, for example, breach of representations and warranties and covenants, damages arising from assumed liabilities or relating to allocated assets, and for specified environmental matters. Our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and payment by us is conditioned on Motorola making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow us to challenge Motorolas claims.
We provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. We maintain directors and officers insurance, which should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
44
In addition to the above, from time to time we provide standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with sales of our securities and the engagement of financial advisors and also provide indemnities that protect the counterparties to these contracts in the event they suffer damages as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or in certain other circumstances relating to the sale of securities or their engagement by us.
While our future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows and we do not believe that any amounts that we may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
See Part II, Item 1 Legal Proceedings of this report for possible contingencies related to legal matters and see Part I, Item 1 BusinessGovernment Regulation of our annual report on Form 10-K for information on certain environmental matters.
Sources and Uses of Cash
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for research and development, to make capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and investments, and to pay debt service, including principal and interest and capital lease payments. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations and funds from external borrowings and equity issuances. In the near term, we expect to fund our primary cash requirements through cash generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand and targeted asset sales. Additionally, as part of our business strategy, we review acquisition and divestiture opportunities and proposals on a regular basis.
We believe that the key factors that could affect our internal and external sources of cash include:
| factors that affect our results of operations and cash flows, including changes in demand for our products, competitive pricing pressures, effective management of our manufacturing capacity, our ability to achieve further reductions in operating expenses, the impact of our restructuring programs on our productivity and our ability to make the research and development expenditures required to remain competitive in our business; and |
| factors that affect our access to bank financing and the debt and equity capital markets that could impair our ability to obtain needed financing on acceptable terms or to respond to business opportunities and developments as they arise, including interest rate fluctuations, our ability to maintain compliance with financial covenants under our existing credit facilities and other limitations imposed by our credit facilities or arising from our substantial leverage. |
Our ability to service our long-term debt, to remain in compliance with the various covenants and restrictions contained in our credit agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities which is subject to, among other things, our future operating performance as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may beyond our control.
If we fail to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may need to raise additional equity or borrow additional funds to achieve our longer term objectives. There can be no assurance that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to us. We believe that cash flow from operating activities coupled with existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs as well as enable us to maintain compliance with our various debt agreements through March 31, 2007. To the extent that results or events differ from our financial projections or business plans, our liquidity may be adversely impacted.
45
Operations
Our operational cash flows are affected by the ability of our operations to generate cash, and our management of our assets and liabilities, including both working capital and long-term assets and liabilities. Each of these components is discussed herein:
EBITDA
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a key indicator that management uses to evaluate our operating performance and cash flows. While EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure is useful to investors to assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table sets forth our EBITDA for the quarters ended March 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and April 1, 2005, with a reconciliation to cash flows from operations, the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles (in millions):

Our debt covenants require us to maintain a trailing 12-month minimum adjusted EBITDA of $140.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined under the documents for our senior bank facilities totaled approximately $302.8 million for the 12 months ended March 31, 2006. This adjusted EBITDA computation excludes certain restructuring and other charges and contains other differences from the EBITDA as defined above. Therefore, EBITDA in the above table is not representative of the adjusted EBITDA used to determine our debt covenant compliance.
If we were not in compliance with the covenants contained in our senior secured credit agreement, including the adjusted EBITDA maintenance covenant, the holders of our senior secured indebtedness could cause all
46
outstanding amounts to be due and payable immediately. If we were unable to repay, refinance or restructure that indebtedness, the holders could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness. In addition, any such event of default or declaration of acceleration could also result in an event of default under one or more of our other debt instruments and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
Working Capital
Working capital fluctuates depending on end-market demand and our effective management of certain items such as receivables, inventory and payables. In times of escalating demand, our working capital requirements may increase as we purchase additional manufacturing inputs and increase production. Our working capital may also be affected by restructuring programs, which may require us to use cash for severance payments, asset transfers and contract termination costs. Our working capital, including cash, was $251.2 million at March 31, 2006, and has fluctuated between $211.9 million and $300.3 million over the last eight quarter-ends.
The components of our working capital at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are set forth below (in millions), followed by explanations for changes between December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 for cash and cash equivalents and any other changes greater than $5 million:

The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $18.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 was attributable to cash flow from operations of approximately $50.5 million, partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $30.8 million, primarily as a result of payments for capital expenditures, and cash used in financing activities of $2.0 million which was attributable to primarily to debt repayments partially offset by proceeds received from stock option exercises.
The increase of $18.1 million in accounts receivable is the result of increased sales in the last two months of the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the last two months of the fourth quarter in 2005.
The increase of $5.6 million in inventory is attributable to production levels exceeding sales levels for the first quarter of 2006. Based on the outlook for the second quarter of 2006, we anticipate relatively flat inventory levels at the end of the second quarter of 2006.
47
The increase of $6.3 million in other current assets is primarily a result of a $2.3 million increase in tool and die and a $1.6 million prepayment for a software licensing agreement. The balance of the increase is related to increases in tax receivables and cash flow hedges as well as miscellaneous prepaid expenses.
The decrease of $5.2 million in accounts payable was mainly a result of the timing of payments at the respective period ends.
The increase in accrued expenses of $6.8 million was primarily attributable to a $5.2 million increase to sales related reserves due to the timing of payments, a $1.0 million increase in accrued payroll and a $1.0 million increase to other accruals, partially offset by a $0.4 million reduction to the restructuring reserves. Our restructuring reserve balance is $1.9 million and is expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of 2006.
The increase in deferred income is attributable to increased inventory levels at distributors as compared to December 31, 2005 with inventories at distributors up from 9.8 weeks as of December 31, 2005 to 10.6 weeks as of March 31, 2006.
The decrease in the current portion of long-term debt relates to the timing of payments under our debt instruments including payments under the free cash flow provision of our senior bank facilities that were not required and were classified as long-term as of March 31, 2006. See Note 7 Long-Term Debt of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Long-Term Assets and Liabilities
Our long-term assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, foreign tax receivables and capitalized debt issuance costs.
Our manufacturing rationalization plans have included efforts to utilize our existing manufacturing assets and supply arrangements more efficiently. Accordingly, we reduced our capital expenditures during 2005. We do not expect that our capital expenditure reductions will have a negative impact on our ability to service our customers, as we believe that near-term access to additional manufacturing capacity, should it be required, could be readily obtained on reasonable terms through manufacturing agreements with third parties. Capital expenditures were $31.7 million and $9.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and the quarter ended April 1, 2005, respectively. We will continue to look for opportunities to make similar strategic purchases in the future as we plan to invest approximately $110 million in 2006 for additional capacity, excluding approximately $105 million for the purchase of LSIs Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility. Although our debt covenants contain certain restrictions that limit our amount of future capital expenditures, we do not believe that these restrictions will have a significant impact on our future operating performance.
Our long-term liabilities, excluding long-term debt, consist of liabilities under our foreign defined benefit pension plans and contingent tax reserves. In regard to our foreign defined benefit pension plans, generally, our annual funding of these obligations is equal to the minimum amount legally required in each jurisdiction in which the plans operate. This annual amount is dependent upon numerous actuarial assumptions.
Key Financing Events
Overview
Since we became an independent company as a result of our 1999 recapitalization, we have had relatively high levels of long-term debt as compared to our principal competitors. Our long-term debt includes significant amounts under our senior bank facilities, which contain an EBITDA (as defined for such facilities) covenant with which we were in compliance as of March 31, 2006.
48
During the second half of 2003, we began undertaking measures to reduce our long-term debt, reduce related interest costs and, in some cases, extend a portion of our debt maturities to continue to provide us additional operating flexibility. These measures continued into 2005 and 2006, as described below:
November 2005 Conversion of Redeemable Preferred Stock
On November 10, 2005, we entered into a Conversion and Termination Agreement with an affiliate of TPG to convert our outstanding convertible redeemable preferred stock held by such affiliate, with a book value of $138.7 million as of September 30, 2005, into 49,364,080 shares of our common stock. We issued an additional 3,949,126 shares of common stock to the TPG affiliate to induce the conversion of the preferred stock. Following the conversion, none of the authorized shares of the preferred stock remained outstanding. In connection with the conversion and inducement, we recognized a $20.4 million charge that reduced net income applicable to common stock for a deemed dividend from the issuance of inducement shares issued upon conversion.
December 2005 Repayment of 10% Junior Subordinated Notes and Issuance of 1.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
As part of the recapitalization, Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (SCI LLC), our primary domestic operating subsidiary, issued a $91.0 million junior subordinated note due 2011. During periods it was outstanding, the note bore interest at an annual rate of 10.0%, compounded semi-annually and payable at maturity. The note was junior in right of payment to all senior debt. In November 2005, we repaid $66.4 million of the junior subordinated note with cash on hand, which reduced the outstanding principal amount to approximately $91.0 million.
In order to finance the repayment of the remaining principal amount of the junior subordinated note, in December 2005 we issued $95.0 million of 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025. We received net proceeds of approximately $91.0 million from the sale of the notes after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses of $4.0 million (of which $0.8 million remained unpaid as of March 31, 2006), which were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized using the effective interest method through the first put date of December 15, 2012. The notes bear interest at the rate of 1.875% per year from the date of issuance. Interest on the notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2006. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain of our existing and future subsidiaries.
The notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 142.8571 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $7.00 per share of common stock. We will settle conversion of all notes validly tendered for conversion in cash and shares of our common stock, if applicable, subject to our right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders may convert their notes under the following circumstances: (i) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 103% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate; (ii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the indenture relating to the notes; or (iii) after June 15, 2012. As of March 31, 2006, none of these circumstances had occurred.
The notes will mature on December 15, 2025. Beginning December 20, 2012, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, for cash at a price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes that occur prior to December 15, 2012, the holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to cash and shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate, an additional number of shares of common stock, in each case as described in the indenture. Holders may require us to repurchase the notes for cash on December 15 of
49
2012, 2015 and 2020 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the repurchase date. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, each holder may require us to purchase all or a portion of such holders notes for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding, the repurchase date.
The notes are our unsecured obligations, will be subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all our existing and future subordinated obligations. The notes also will be effectively subordinated to any of our and our subsidiaries secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
February 2006 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities
In February 2006, we refinanced the term loans under our senior bank facilities to reduce the interest rate from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. The amended and restated credit agreement also provided for a step down provision that reduced the interest rate to LIBOR plus 2.25% since we maintained a specified credit rating and meet the specified leverage ratio test that first applied based on the 2005 results.
March 2006 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities
The credit agreement relating to our senior bank facilities includes a provision requiring an annual calculation of cash flow (as defined) and the application of a portion of that cash flow as a prepayment of loans outstanding under the agreement. In March 2006, we obtained an amendment of this provision that requires prepayment only at the election of the debt holders. As a result of this amendment, only $0.1 million of the $26.0 million classified as a current maturity as of December 31, 2005 was paid at the election of the debt holders during the first quarter of 2006. Therefore, the remaining $25.9 million was reclassified to long-term debt as of March 31, 2006.
April 2006 Equity Offering
On April 6, 2006, we completed a public offering of our common stock registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2004. In connection with this offering, we issued approximately 11.2 million shares (which includes 0.7 million shares issued as over-allotments) at a price of $7.00 per share. The net proceeds from this offering received by us were $75.2 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.6 million ($0.14 per share) and offering expenses of $1.3 million. We intend to use the net proceeds to partially fund the purchase of LSIs Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility, which has a total purchase price of $105 million.

We have pledged substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and similar assets of each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries (but no more than 65% of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries held by them) to secure our senior bank facilities.
SCI LLC, the primary domestic operating subsidiary of ON Semiconductor Corporation, is the borrower under our senior bank facilities. ON Semiconductor Corporation and our other domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis the obligations of the borrower under such facilities. ON Semiconductor Corporation is the issuer, and SCI LLC is a guarantor, of our zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 and our 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025. Our other domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis the obligations of the issuers of such notes. None of our non-U.S. subsidiaries guarantee the senior bank facilities or the notes.
As of March 31, 2006, we were in compliance with the various covenants and other requirements contained in the credit agreement relating to our senior bank facilities and the indentures relating to our zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 and 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025. We believe that we will be able to comply with the various covenants and other requirements contained in such credit agreement and the indentures through March 31, 2007.
The credit agreement relating to our senior bank facilities includes a provision requiring an annual calculation of cash flow (as defined) and the application of a portion of that cash flow as a prepayment of loans outstanding under the agreement. Included in the current portion of long-term debt as of December 31, 2005 was approximately $26.0 million, which is the amount that was expected to be paid during the first quarter of 2006 under this provision. As previously discussed, during the first quarter of 2006 we obtained an amendment of this provision that requires prepayment only at the election of the debt holders, and only $0.1 million was elected to be paid by the debt holders during the first quarter of 2006, so $25.9 million was reclassified to long-term liabilities as of March 31, 2006.
51
Our debt agreements contain, and any future debt agreements may include, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on among other things, our ability to:
| incur additional debt, including guarantees; |
| incur liens; |
| sell or otherwise dispose of assets; |
| make investments, loans or advances; |
| make some acquisitions; |
| engage in mergers or consolidations; |
| make capital expenditures; |
| pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments; |
| pay dividends from SCI LLC to ON Semiconductor Corporation; |
| engage in sale and leaseback transactions; |
| enter into new lines of business; |
| issue some types of preferred stock; and |
| enter into transactions with our affiliates. |
In addition, our senior bank facilities require that we maintain or achieve a minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as defined therein. Any future debt could contain financial and other covenants more restrictive than those that are currently applicable.
Cash Management
Our ability to manage cash is limited, as our primary cash inflows and outflows are dictated by the terms of our sales and supply agreements, contractual obligations, debt instruments and legal and regulatory requirements. While we have some flexibility with respect to the timing of capital equipment purchases, we must invest in capital on a timely basis to allow us to maintain our manufacturing efficiency and support our platforms of new products.
Accounting Changes
Effective December 31, 2005 we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 47 Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement ObligationsAn Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143 Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (Statement 143) refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. As a result of the adoption of FIN 47, we recorded a $2.9 net charge for the cumulative effect of accounting change in 2005.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, which requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, our results of operations include $1.9 million of stock compensation expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
52
Total estimated share-based compensation expense, related to all of our share-based awards, recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was comprised as follows (in millions, except per share data):

We recorded $0.4 million in share-based compensation expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 related to share-based awards granted during the first quarter of 2006. This included expense related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $0.2 million and an immaterial amount of expense related to restricted stock units awarded to certain members of our Board of Directors. The remaining expense of $1.5 million related to share-based awards granted prior to December 31, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe certain of our accounting policies are critical to understanding our financial position and results of operations. We utilize the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue. We generate revenue from sales of our semiconductor products to original equipment manufacturers, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. We recognize revenue on sales to original equipment manufacturers and electronic manufacturing service providers when title passes to the customer net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances. Title to products sold to distributors typically passes at the time of shipment by us so we record accounts receivable for the amount of the transaction, reduce our inventory for the products shipped and defer the related margin in our consolidated balance sheet. We recognize the related revenue and cost of revenues when the distributor informs us that they have resold the products to the end user. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days.
Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. Given that our revenues consist of a high volume of relatively similar products, our actual returns and allowances do not fluctuate significantly from period to period, and our returns and allowances provisions have historically been reasonably accurate.
53
Freight and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and are recognized as period expense during the period in which they are incurred.
Inventories. We carry our inventories at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market and record provisions for slow moving inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand compared to historical and projected end user demand. Projected end user demand is generally based on sales during the prior 12 months. These provisions can influence our results from operations. For example, when demand falls for a given part, all or a portion of the related inventory is reserved, impacting our cost of revenues and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously reserved are sold, we will generally recognize a higher than normal margin. However, the majority of product inventory that has been previously reserved is ultimately discarded. Although we do sell some products that have previously been written down, such sales have historically been relatively consistent on a quarterly basis and the related impact on our margins has not been material.
Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, we consider estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. If we determine that we will not realize all or a portion of our remaining deferred tax assets, we will increase our valuation allowance with a charge to income tax expense. Conversely, if we determine that we will ultimately be able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the related portion of the valuation allowance will be released to income as a credit to income tax expense. In the fourth quarter of 2001, a valuation allowance was established for our domestic deferred tax assets and a portion of our foreign deferred tax assets. Additionally, throughout 2003, 2004 and 2005 and continuing into 2006, no incremental domestic deferred tax benefits were recognized. Our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets and the continuing need for a related valuation allowance are monitored on an ongoing basis.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived for an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. We continually apply our best judgment when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of an impaired asset. The dynamic economic environment in which we operate and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of our impairment tests. In recent years, most of our assets that have been impaired consist of assets that were ultimately abandoned, sold or otherwise disposed of due to cost reduction activities and the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities. In some instances, these assets have subsequently been sold for amounts higher than their impaired value. When material, these gains are recorded in the restructuring, asset impairment and other, net line item in our consolidated statement of operations and disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
Goodwill. We evaluate our goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), which requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit containing our goodwill with the related carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the reporting units goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step is unnecessary. To date, our goodwill has not been considered to be impaired based on the results of this first step.
Defined Benefit Plans. We maintain pension plans covering certain of our employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs are calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including a discount rate for plan obligations, assumed rate of return on pension plan assets and assumed rate of
54
compensation increase for plan employees. All of these assumptions are based upon managements judgment, considering all known trends and uncertainties. Actual results that differ from these assumptions impact the expense recognition and cash funding requirements of our pension plans.
Asset Retirement Obligations. We recognize asset retirement obligations (AROs) when incurred, with the initial measurement at fair value. These liabilities are accreted to full value over time through charges to income. In addition, asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the related assets carrying value and are depreciated over the assets respective useful life. Our AROs consist primarily of estimated decontamination costs associated with manufacturing equipment and buildings.
Contingencies. We are involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on the available information, we evaluate the relevant range and likelihood of potential outcomes. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, we record the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and estimable.
Share-Based Payments. Prior to adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, we recorded estimated compensation expense for employee stock options based upon their intrinsic value on the date of grant pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and provided the required pro forma disclosures of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123). Because we established the exercise price based on the fair market value of the Companys stock at the date of grant, the stock options had no intrinsic value upon grant, and therefore no estimated expense was recorded prior to adopting SFAS No. 123R.
We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006, using a modified prospective application, which provides for certain changes to the method for recognizing share-based compensation. Under the modified prospective application, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The provisions of SFAS No. 123R apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding with future service periods on the effective date and subsequently modified or cancelled. Estimated compensation expense for awards outstanding with future service periods at the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123.
The fair value of each option grant in 2005 and thereafter is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice based option valuation model. In past years, we used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of its options. The lattice model uses: 1) an implied volatility curve derived from Hestons stochastic volatility model and calibrated using a regression analysis instead of a single volatility assumption as used in the Black-Scholes model; 2) an employee exercise behavior model (based on an analysis of historical exercise behavior); and 3) the treasury yield curve to calculate the fair value of each option grant. The estimates and assumptions used by management in conjunction with the lattice model significantly impact the resulting fair value of options granted.
At March 31, 2006, total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date was $20.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.
On November 16, 2005, we accelerated the vesting of certain unvested and out-of-the-money stock options outstanding under the companys stock plans. The acceleration of vesting applied to all unvested options that had an exercise price per share of $7.00 or higher, with the exception of options granted to directors, certain officers and employees with options granted under the French provisions in our 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. As a result of the acceleration, options to purchase approximately 2.5 million shares of our common stock became exercisable immediately. The weighted average exercise price of the affected options was $7.04 per share. In making the decision to accelerate these options, the Board of Directors believed it was in the best interest of the
55
stockholders to reduce the future earnings impact resulting from the planned adoption of SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006, and the resulting impact that this may have on our market value.
This acceleration of these options that were outstanding on November 16, 2005 will reduce future expenses upon the adoption of FAS 123R on a pre-tax basis as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached consensus on EITF Issue No. 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty (Issue No. 04-13). In certain situations, a company may enter into nonmonetary transactions to sell inventory to another company in the same line of business from which it also purchases inventory. Under Issue No. 04-13, in general, an entity is required to treat sales and purchases of inventory between the entity and the same counterparty as one transaction for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions when such transactions are entered into in contemplation of each other. When such transactions are legally contingent on each other, they are considered to have been entered into in contemplation of each other. The EITF also agreed on other factors that should be considered in determining whether transactions have been entered into in contemplation of each other. Issue No. 04-13 will be effective for all new arrangements entered into in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The Companys adoption of the provisions of Issue No. 04-13 are not expected to impact its financial condition or results of operations.
In February of 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid InstrumentsAn Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 144 (SFAS No. 155). SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. It also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FASB Statement No. 133, and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. Furthermore, SFAS No. 155 clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and it amends FASB Statement No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. Our adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to impact our financial condition or results of operations.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements, particularly statements about our plans, strategies and prospects under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as believes, estimates, expects, projects, may, will, intends, plans, or anticipates, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. In this Form 10-Q, forward-looking information relates to second quarter 2006 revenues, gross margins and average selling
56
prices, research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues, and sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues, net interest expense, capital expenditures, and similar matters. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made based on our current expectations and estimates, which involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Among these factors are our revenues and operating performance, changes in overall economic conditions, the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, changes in demand for our products, changes in inventories at our customers and distributors, technological and product development risks, availability of raw materials, competitors actions, pricing and gross profit pressures, loss of key customers, order cancellations or reduced bookings, changes in manufacturing yields, control of costs and expenses, significant litigation, risks associated with acquisitions and dispositions, risks associated with our substantial leverage and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, risks associated with our international operations, the threat or occurrence of international armed conflict and terrorist activities both in the United States and internationally, risks and costs associated with increased and new regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards (including pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), and risks involving environmental or other governmental regulation. Additional factors that could affect our future results or events are described from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. See in particular our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 under Item 1A. Risk Factors and similar disclosures in subsequently filed reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update such information.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
At March 31, 2006, our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $1,062.0 million. We have no interest rate exposure to rate changes on our fixed rate debt, which totaled $377.5 million. We do have interest rate exposure with respect to the $684.5 million outstanding balance on our variable interest rate debt; however, we have entered into interest rate swaps to reduce this exposure. As of March 31, 2006, we had interest rate swaps covering $292.5 million of our variable interest rate debt. A 50 basis point increase in interest rates would impact our expected annual interest expense for the next twelve months by approximately $2.0 million. However, some of this impact would be offset by additional interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents as a result of the higher rates.
On January 9, 2003, we amended our primary foreign exchange hedging agreement to provide for termination if at any time the amount available under our revolving credit facility becomes less than $2.5 million.
A majority of our revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, as a multinational business, we also conduct certain of these activities through transactions denominated in a variety of other currencies. We use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge firm commitments and reduce our overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on our results of operations and cash flows. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exposures would generally be offset by corresponding losses and gains on the related hedging instruments. This strategy reduces, but does not eliminate, the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. For example, changes in exchange rates may affect the foreign currency sales price of our products and can lead to increases or decreases in sales volume to the extent that the sales price of comparable products of our competitors are less or more than the sales price of our products. Our policy prohibits speculation on financial instruments, trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.
57
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
58
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We are currently involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including the matters described in the next paragraphs, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
During the period July 5, 2001 through July 27, 2001, we were named as a defendant in three shareholder class action lawsuits that were filed in federal court in New York City against us and certain of our former officers, current and former directors and the underwriters for our initial public offering. The lawsuits allege violations of the federal securities laws and have been docketed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as: Abrams v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6114; Breuer v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6287; and Cohen v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6942. On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a single consolidated amended complaint that supersedes the individual complaints originally filed. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the underwriters of our initial public offering improperly required their customers to pay the underwriters excessive commissions and to agree to buy additional shares of our common stock in the aftermarket as conditions of receiving shares in our initial public offering. The amended complaint further alleges that these supposed practices of the underwriters should have been disclosed in our initial public offering prospectus and registration statement. The amended complaint alleges violations of both the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and seeks unspecified damages. We understand that various other plaintiffs have filed substantially similar class action cases against approximately 300 other publicly-traded companies and their public offering underwriters in New York City, which have all been transferred, along with the case against the Company, to a single federal district judge for purposes of coordinated case management. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and have defended, and intend to continue to defend, the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, however, and we cannot guarantee that the outcome of these claims will be favorable for us.
On July 15, 2002, together with the other issuer defendants, we filed a collective motion to dismiss the consolidated, amended complaints against the issuers on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants. The underwriters also filed separate motions to dismiss the claims against them. In addition, the parties have stipulated to the voluntary dismissal without prejudice of our individual former officers and current and former directors who were named as defendants in our litigation, and they are no longer parties to the litigation. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued its ruling on the motions to dismiss filed by the underwriter and issuer defendants. In that ruling the Court granted in part and denied in part those motions. As to the claims brought against us under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws, the Court dismissed all of these claims with prejudice, and refused to allow plaintiffs the opportunity to re-plead these claims. As to the claims brought under the registration provisions of the securities laws, which do not require that intent to defraud be pleaded, the Court denied the motion to dismiss these claims as to us and as to substantially all of the other issuer defendants as well. The Court also denied the underwriter defendants motion to dismiss in all respects.
In June 2003, upon the determination of a special independent committee of our Board of Directors, we elected to participate in a proposed settlement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If ultimately approved by the Court, this proposed settlement would result in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against us and against any of the other issuer defendants who elect to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the underwriter defendants, and the litigation against those defendants is continuing. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will be guaranteed a
59
recovery of $1 billion by the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling less than $1 billion are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, the class members will be entitled to recover the difference between $1 billion and the aggregate amount of those recoveries from the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations to the class members under the proposed settlement will be satisfied. In addition, we and any other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the class members certain claims that we may have against the underwriters of our initial public offerings.
The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers directors and officers liability insurance policy proceeds, as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuers insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that issuers allocable share of the settlement costs. We expect that our insurance proceeds will be sufficient for these purposes and that we will not otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement.
Consummation of the proposed settlement is conditioned upon obtaining approval by the Court. On September 1, 2005, the Court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement and directed that notice of the terms of the proposed settlement be provided to class members. Thereafter, the Court held a fairness hearing on April 24, 2006, at which objections to the proposed settlement were heard. After the fairness hearing, the Court took under advisement whether to grant final approval to the proposed settlement.
If the proposed settlement described above is not consummated, we intend to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. While we can make no promises or guarantees as to the outcome of these proceedings, we believe that the final result of these actions will have no material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
AMS Matter. On March 22, 2005, we entered into a settlement agreement with Austriamicrosystems, AG (AMS) regarding a pending lawsuit. Under the settlement agreement we paid AMS $2.4 million in cash upon the signing of the agreement. We had previously reserved $2.5 million as a reasonable loss estimate of the loss exposure for this matter. The settlement agreement includes, among other things, a full and complete mutual release of any and all claims, except for any claims arising out of the arbitration described below. It also provides that the pending litigation will be dismissed with prejudice and each party will bear its own costs and fees incurred in connection with the litigation. The dismissal occurred shortly after the signing of the agreement. The settlement agreement requires that we and AMS enter into final, binding and non-appealable arbitration limited to one unresolved issue associated with the litigation. The arbitration was held on April 12 through April 14, 2006 and we are currently awaiting a ruling by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator rules in favor of AMS, we will pay an additional $2.2 million within fifteen days of the ruling by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator rules in our favor, AMS will not be entitled to any additional amounts of money from us. On April 27, 2006, the arbitrator ruled in our favor. As a result of this ruling, AMS is entitled to no money from us regarding this issue. Each party shall bear its own costs and fees incurred in connection with the arbitration, and the parties will each pay fifty percent of the costs and fees of the arbitrator.
The matter originated out of an action filed in October 2003 in Arizona Superior Court by AMS against us. The complaint (i) alleged that we breached a foundry agreement entered into in 2000 under which AMS was to provide services to us, and (ii) claimed tortious interference with contract. The complaint sought approximately $5.8 million in contract damages, plus interest, costs, attorneys fees and exemplary damages.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows can be impacted by a number of factors, including, but not limited to (i) those described under Item 1A Risk Factors in our Form 10-K for 2005 and (ii) those additional risk factors set forth below, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results.

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to the Acquisition of the Gresham Manufacturing Facility
If we fail to retain the highly-skilled personnel currently employed at the Gresham manufacturing facility, our ability to successfully integrate the facility and realize the benefits of the acquisition could deteriorate.
The success of the acquisition of the Gresham manufacturing facility depends upon our ability to retain the highly skilled technical, managerial and operations personnel currently employed at the facility. We expect to make offers of continued employment to many of these skilled process-development engineers and other employees with operational expertise. If these employees do not accept our offer of employment, we may be required to spend significant resources engaging employees with similar expertise or may be unable to secure such employees at all. The loss of services of these employees could prevent us from introducing the high-valued added products that can be manufactured on the Gresham manufacturing facilitys advanced technology platforms, mitigating the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
In connection with the acquisition of the Gresham manufacturing facility, we will enter into a long-term supply contract with LSI, which may result in operating losses at the facility.
During the first two years following the consummation of the acquisition of the Gresham manufacturing facility, we will rely on LSI as the sole customer under a supply contract to meet minimum guaranteed revenue commitments. If we experience an increase in the cost of raw materials or lower than anticipated yields, or if we are unable to meet the cycle-time commitments called for by the contract, we may experience losses from operations at the facility.
We may experience difficulties in integrating and running the Gresham manufacturing facility.
Our ability to achieve the benefits we anticipate from the acquisition of the Gresham manufacturing facility will depend in large part upon whether we are able to integrate this facility into our business in an efficient and effective manner and once integrated actually running the facility in this manner. We may not be able to integrate this facility smoothly or successfully, and the process may take longer than expected. The integration of the manufacturing facility following its acquisition will require the dedication of significant management resources, which may distract managements attention from our day-to-day business. We may encounter similar and additional difficulties as we continue to run the facility post-integration. If we are unable to integrate and run this facility successfully, we may be unable to realize the cost savings, revenue growth, gross margin improvement, earnings growth and other anticipated benefits we expect to achieve as a result of the acquisition and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We may experience difficulties utilizing the additional capacity of the Gresham manufacturing facility in a cost-efficient manner.
After the expiration of our long-term supply contract with LSI, our ability to generate operating profits will depend upon our successful development of new products that can be produced using the technology of the Gresham manufacturing facility. Failure to successfully integrate new products into the Gresham manufacturing facility and failure to successfully market those new products could result in a loss of market share, or a lost opportunity to capitalize on emerging markets, and could have an adverse impact on our business and operating results.
The transition costs associated with the acquisition of the Gresham manufacturing facility may be greater than we anticipate.
In addition to the purchase price, we expect to incur significant one-time costs in connection with the acquisition of the Gresham manufacturing facility and the related integration of between $7.0 million and $12.0 million from 2006 to 2008. We also anticipate that the acquisition of the Gresham manufacturing facility will increase our fixed costs by between $90 million and $100 million annually. As a result, we expect that while our revenues will increase our gross margin percentage will be negatively impacted in 2006. The costs and liabilities actually incurred in connection with the acquisition and subsequent integration process may exceed
61
those anticipated. Although we expect that the realization of efficiencies related to the acquisition may offset additional expenses over time and result in net cost savings, we cannot ensure that this net benefit will be achieved soon or at all.
The projections that we used in valuing the Gresham manufacturing facility were based upon assumptions that we believed to be reasonable. However, these assumptions may prove to have been incomplete or inaccurate, and our projections could differ materially from actual operating results.

1.3 Retained Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers will retain, and Purchaser will not assume, or will be deemed by virtue of the
2
execution and delivery of this Agreement or of any other document delivered at the Closing (except to the extent expressly provided in such other document), or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any such other document, to have assumed, any Liabilities of any of the Sellers, whether primary or secondary, direct or indirect, other than the Assumed Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Liabilities of Sellers that Purchaser is not assuming include the following (collectively, the Retained Liabilities):
(a) all Liabilities (other than Environmental Liabilities which are discussed in clause (e) below) of LSI or any of its Subsidiaries arising or resulting from the Fab Operations prior to the Closing or their use, manufacture, sale, ownership, lease, license, operation, or disposition of the Specified Assets prior to the Closing, or the performance or non-performance by LSI or any of its Subsidiaries of obligations under the Fab-Related Contracts prior to the Closing, except for any such Liabilities that are Assumed Liabilities pursuant to clause (i), (ii), or (iv) of the definition thereof;
(b) all Liabilities of LSI or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Taxes with respect to the Specified Assets, except for (i) Liabilities required to be borne or paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.5, (ii) Real Property Taxes, the Liabilities for which will be determined solely by reference to Section 1.8(a)(i), and (iii) Personal Property Taxes, the Liabilities for which will be determined solely by reference to Section 1.8(a)(ii);

(e) any Liabilities of LSI or any of its Subsidiaries under any Excluded Contract, except as set forth in Section 12.3 or Section 12.4 or any of the Ancillary Agreements.
1.4 Purchase Price. As consideration for the sale of Sellers right, title, and interest in and to the Specified Assets to Purchaser, and the license of the Licensed Intellectual Property to be granted to Purchaser and another Subsidiary of ON pursuant to the IP License Agreement:
(a) on the Signing Date, Purchaser will pay to LSI, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the sum of ten million, five hundred thousand dollars ($10,500,000) (the Deposit);
(b) at the Closing, Purchaser will pay to LSI (without deduction or setoff of any nature), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the additional sum of seventy-nine million, five hundred thousand dollars ($79,500,000), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.8(b) (as so adjusted, the Closing Cash Payment);
3
(c) at the Closing, Purchaser will assume the Assumed Liabilities by delivering to LSI an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit B (the Assignment and Assumption Agreement); and
(d) on the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the Final Installment Date), Purchaser will pay to LSI (without deduction or setoff of any nature), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the additional sum of fifteen million, two hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($15,225,000) (the Final Installment Payment) (provided, however, that if the Parties have proceeded with the Partial Sale Alternative and if title to the Residual Real Property has not been conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.3(f) on or before the Final Installment Date, then instead of the payment described above in this clause (d), Purchaser will pay to LSI (without deduction or setoff of any nature), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (i) the additional sum of nine million, two hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($9,225,000) on the Final Installment Date and (ii) the remaining sum of six million dollars ($6,000,000) on the date when title to the Residual Real Property is conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.3(f)).
1.5 Transfer Taxes and Similar Charges. Purchaser will bear and pay, and (if any of the Sellers pay) will reimburse Sellers for, any sales Taxes, use Taxes, transfer Taxes, documentary charges, recording fees, filing fees (other than income or franchise Taxes) that may become payable in connection with the sale to Purchaser of Sellers right, title, and interest in and to the Specified Assets, the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities, or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. LSI and Purchaser agree to file jointly, or cause to be filed jointly, all required change of ownership and similar statements, to the extent joint filing is permitted or required.
1.6 Allocation of Purchase Price
(a) The Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to agree upon an allocation of the consideration referred to in Section 1.4 and Section 1.8 among the Specified Assets and the Licensed Intellectual Property (the Allocation) as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing Date. The Allocation will be determined in a manner consistent with this Section 1.6 and Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Purchaser will provide a proposed allocation to LSI within 25 days after the Closing Date, and LSI will deliver to Purchaser a notice setting forth any proposed changes to such proposed allocation within 15 days after the delivery of such proposed allocation to LSI. The Parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed items, and if the Parties are unable to agree on the Allocation within 15 days after LSIs delivery of such notice of proposed changes to Purchaser, then the dispute will be arbitrated by Ernst & Young and the resolution of such dispute by Ernst & Young will be conclusive and binding on the Parties.
(b) The Allocation, as finally agreed or determined in accordance with Section 1.6(a), will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties for Tax purposes, and no Party will make or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any statement or declaration to any taxing authority that is inconsistent with the Allocation, except as provided below. No Party will take or permit any of its Subsidiaries or representatives to take any position on any Tax return, with any taxing
4
authority, or in any judicial Tax proceeding that is inconsistent with the Allocation except as required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any equivalent provision of any applicable state or local law. Each of LSI and Purchaser will promptly provide the other with any additional information required to complete Form 8594 if the filing of such form is required. Each of LSI and Purchaser will timely notify the other in the event of an examination, audit, or other proceeding regarding the Allocation. Each of LSI and Purchaser will timely provide the other with such assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with any such examination, audit, or other proceeding regarding the Allocation (it being understood that the Party receiving such assistance will be required to reimburse the Party providing such assistance for all expenses incurred in providing such assistance).
1.7 Ancillary Agreements. At the Closing, Purchaser and LSI will enter into (or cause their respective Subsidiaries to enter into) the following additional agreements (along with the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements):
(a) a Wafer Supply and Test Services Agreement in the form of Exhibit D (the Wafer Supply Agreement);
(b) an Intellectual Property License Agreement in the form of Exhibit E (the IP License Agreement);
(c) a Transition Services Agreement in the form of Exhibit F (the Transition Services Agreement);
(d) a Facilities Use Agreement in the form of Exhibit G (the Facilities Use Agreement);
(e) a Master Nondisclosure Agreement in the form of Exhibit H;
(f) a Bill of Sale in favor of Purchaser in the form of Exhibit I; and
(g) if the Parties are proceeding with the Partial Sale Alternative, the Ground Lease.
1.8 Prorations and Adjustments
(a) The following items will be prorated and adjusted between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, on the Closing Date in the following manner (provided that such prorations and adjustments will be made without duplication of any amount payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.5):
(i) Real Property Taxes
(A) If the Gresham Facilities Real Property has been re-assessed on or prior to the Closing Date for purposes of real property Taxes, then all city, county, and state ad valorem property Taxes or assessments for the real property tax year in which the Closing occurs (Real Property Taxes) payable by Sellers
5
with respect to the Gresham Facilities Real Property will be prorated between Purchaser and LSI, as of the Closing Date, based on the tax bill for such tax year.
(B) If the Gresham Facilities Real Property has not been re-assessed on or prior to the Closing Date for purposes of Real Property Taxes, then all Real Property Taxes payable by Sellers with respect to the Aggregate Real Property will be prorated between Purchaser and LSI, as of the Closing Date, based on the Tax bill for such tax year and based on the Parties good faith best estimate of the Real Property Taxes equitably allocable to the Gresham Facilities Real Property and to the Excluded Land (and for purposes of such estimate, the allocation of Real Property Taxes with respect to any parcel included in the Gresham Facilities Real Property whose boundary is changed as a result of the Lot Line Adjustment or Land Division, or the Residual Property if the Lot Line Adjustment or Land Division has not been completed as of the Closing Date, will be done on a per-acre basis). LSI will be liable for all Real Property Taxes with respect to the Gresham Facilities Real Property (or so allocated to the Excluded Land, if applicable) due and payable that are attributable to any period prior to and including the Closing Date. Purchaser will be liable for all Real Property Taxes with respect to the Gresham Facilities Real Property (or so allocated to the Gresham Facilities Real Property if applicable) due and payable that are attributable to any period after the Closing Date.
(C) If any Real Property Taxes have not been set for any portion of the real property tax year in which the Closing occurs, then the proration of such Real Property Taxes will be based upon the Real Property Taxes for the preceding real property tax year, and after the Closing such proration will be readjusted between LSI and Purchaser when the tax bill for the real property tax year in which the Closing occurs is available.
(ii) Personal Property Taxes. All personal property taxes levied or assessed against the Fab Tangible Personal Property and the Other Specified Manufacturing Equipment for the applicable personal property tax year in which the Closing occurs (Personal Property Taxes) will be prorated between Purchaser and LSI, as of the Closing Date. LSI will be liable for all Personal Property Taxes due and payable that are attributable to any period to and including the Closing Date. Purchaser will be liable for all Personal Property Taxes due and payable that are attributable to any period after the Closing Date. If any Personal Property Taxes have not been set for any portion of the applicable personal property tax year in which the Closing occurs, then the proration of such Personal Property Taxes will be based upon the Personal Property Taxes for the preceding applicable personal property tax year, and after the Closing such proration will be readjusted between LSI and Purchaser when the Tax bill for the applicable personal property tax year in which the Closing occurs is available.
(iii) Utility Charges. All utility charges levied or assessed against the Gresham Facilities Real Property will be prorated between Purchaser and LSI as of the Closing Date. LSI will be liable for all such utility charges due and payable
6
that are attributable to any period to and including the Closing Date. Purchaser will be liable for all such utility charges due and payable that are attributable to any period after the Closing Date. LSI will request that each utility meter on the Gresham Facilities Real Property be read by the appropriate utility company immediately before the Closing Date. If any such utility meter is not so read immediately before the Closing Date, then the applicable utility charges will be initially prorated as of the Closing Date based upon a per diem rate determined by reference to the utility charges for the month immediately preceding the month during which the Closing occurs and will be finally re-prorated as soon after the Closing Date as Sellers and Purchaser can obtain such reading, after which LSI or Purchaser, as the case may be, will promptly deliver to the other any amount owing as a result of such re-proration.
(b) On the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date, LSI will deliver to Purchaser a certificate (the Closing Adjustments Certificate) signed on behalf of LSI by an authorized officer of LSI and setting forth LSIs good faith determination, without duplication of any amounts, of (i) the aggregate amount, if any, due from LSI to Purchaser pursuant to each clause of Section 1.8(a) (the Purchaser Credit), (ii) the aggregate amount, if any, due from Purchaser to LSI pursuant to each clause of Section 1.8(a) (the Seller Credit), (iii) the aggregate amount of any cash deposits held by any public or private utility company for utility service to the Gresham Facilities Real Property, which are to be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing (the Cash Deposits), (iv) the aggregate amount of any Pre-Paid Expenses to the extent attributable to any period after the Closing Date, (v) the aggregate amount of the Assumed Accounts Payable, (vi) the Excess Spare Parts Value, and (vii) the Accrued Paid Time Off Amount. If the net value determined by subtracting (A) the sum of the Purchaser Credit and the Assumed Accounts Payable and the Accrued Paid Time Off Amount from (B) the sum of the Seller Credit, the Cash Deposits, the Pre-Paid Expenses, and the Excess Spare Parts Value is positive, the Closing Cash Payment will be increased by such amount. If such net value is negative, the Closing Cash Payment will be reduced by the absolute value of such net value.
(c) All refunds and credits in respect of the Real Property Taxes and Personal Property Taxes will be apportioned between Purchaser and LSI as follows: LSI will be entitled to all refunds and credits (or any portion thereof) attributable to any period to and including the Closing Date; and Purchaser will be entitled to all refunds and credits (or any portion thereof) attributable to any period after the Closing Date.
(d) The Parties are not currently aware of any other costs or expenses that must be adjusted between them on the Closing Date, and if any such costs or expenses arise or become known to them on or before the Closing Date and are not otherwise addressed in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, they will be equitably adjusted between the Parties in accordance with customary practice in Multnomah County, Oregon.
1.9 Closing. The closing of the purchase by Purchaser of Sellers right, title, and interest in and to the Specified Assets (other than, if the Parties proceed with the Partial Sale Alternative, the Residual Real Property) (the Closing) will take place at the offices of Cooley Godward LLP at 3175 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California, at a time and on a date to be designated by LSI in writing upon at least three Business Days written notice to Purchaser. The
7
date designated by LSI in such notice will be at least two Business Days but not more than ten Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Sections 8 and 9 (other than the conditions set forth in Sections 8.4, 9.4, and 9.5, which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, it being understood, however, that the Closing will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing).
1.10 Closing Deliveries

2.3 Sufficiency of Specified Assets; Raw Materials Inventory Levels
(a) To LSIs knowledge, upon the Closing, except for the rights of LSI and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date under the Excluded Contracts, and any Fab-Related Contracts and Fab-Related Government Permits that are not assigned to Purchaser at Closing and except for Raw Materials, other consumables, and utility services, in each case that are readily available in the marketplace, the Specified Assets and the rights of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date under the Ancillary Agreements will include substantially all of the assets, properties, and rights needed by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, as of the Closing Date, to fulfill their obligations under the Wafer Supply Agreement (including obligations related to yields and specifications) for the first ninety (90) days after the Closing Date.
(b) At the Closing, the Fab Raw Materials Inventory will be substantially consistent with levels of Raw Materials owned by Sellers and maintained at the Gresham
10
Facilities in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice of Sellers in operating the Fab, subject to the commercial availability of such Raw Materials and taking into account the run rate of the Fab as of the Closing.
2.4 Intellectual Property
(a) As of the Closing Date, Sellers (or one of them) will own the Fab Intellectual Property free and clear of any Encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances and non-exclusive rights and licenses that were granted prior to the Signing Date or that arise in the ordinary course of business between the Signing Date and the Closing Date.

(e) The Fab Software and the Retained Software are all of the material software owned by Sellers that is also used by Sellers in their operation of the Fab (as currently operated).
(f) Schedule 11 contains a complete and accurate list of all material proprietary third-party software used by Sellers at the Gresham Facilities as of the Signing Date in their operation of the Fab (other than third-party software licensed under the terms of shrink-wrap licenses, clickwrap licenses, and other licenses for software generally available on standard terms including licenses for open source software).

Prior to the Signing Date, LSI has made available to Purchaser an accurate and complete copy of each Significant Fab-Related Contract entered into prior to the Signing Date, as in effect on such date. Each Significant Fab-Related Contract entered into prior to the Signing Date is valid and in full force and effect as of the Signing Date. No Seller is in material breach of any Significant Fab-Related Contract, and, to LSIs knowledge as of the Signing Date, no other party to any such Significant Fab-Related Contract is in material breach of such Significant Fab-Related Contract. To LSIs knowledge as of the Signing Date, no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a material breach by any Seller or by any other party under any Significant Fab-Related Contract. Except
11
as would not reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect, since June 30, 2005, none of the Sellers has received written notice that any party to any Significant Fab-Related Contract intends to cancel or prematurely terminate such Significant Fab-Related Contract. All payments required to be made by Sellers under the Fab-Related Contracts that are due on or prior to the Closing Date will have been made in full as of the Closing Date.
2.6 Government Permits. All of the material Fab-Related Government Permits are current and in full force and effect. Sellers are in compliance in all material respects with all such material Fab-Related Government Permits.

LSI has made available to Purchaser copies of all material correspondence with Government Authorities in LSIs or its Subsidiaries files relating to such material Fab-Related Government Permits (including copies of official notices, citations, or decisions in LSIs or its Subsidiaries files) with respect to which Purchaser has made a specific written request to LSI that such correspondence be made available.
2.7 Compliance with Legal Requirements. LSI and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all material Legal Requirements (other than Environmental Laws, which are addressed in Section 2.9) applicable to the Fab Operations. No Seller has received any written notice from any Government Authority alleging any failure by Sellers to comply with any Legal Requirement applicable to the Fab Operations, except for any such notice relating to a failure to comply that (i) has been cured or otherwise is no longer pending or (ii) would not reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.
2.8 Legal Proceedings; Governmental Orders. There is no lawsuit or other legal proceeding or, to LSIs knowledge, governmental investigation, pending or, to LSIs knowledge, being overtly threatened against LSI or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Signing Date that involves the Specified Assets or the Fab Operations and would reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect. There are no Governmental Orders outstanding against LSI or any of LSIs Subsidiaries with respect to the Fab Operations arising from any governmental investigation, lawsuit, or other legal proceeding against LSI or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.
2.9 Environmental Matters
(a) To LSIs knowledge, the Fab Operations are and for the preceding five years have been in substantial compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. To LSIs knowledge, no conditions exist at the Gresham Facilities Real Property that would by themselves reasonably be expected (i) to give rise to liability on the part of Sellers or Purchaser to any Government Authority or other third party pursuant to any Environmental Law or (ii) to materially impair Purchasers ability to operate the Gresham Facilities Real Property, in the same manner as it is currently operated, in substantial compliance with Environmental Laws. The Gresham Facilities Real Property has not been listed or, to LSIs knowledge, proposed for listing on the National Priorities List established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or any similar list maintained by the State of Oregon.

(b) To LSIs knowledge, no activities that have been or presently are being conducted at the Gresham Facilities would reasonably be expected to give rise to a material liability on the part of Sellers or Purchaser to any Government Authority or other third party as a result of:
(i) the handling, storage, use, transportation, or disposal, or arranging for transportation or disposal, of any Hazardous Substance by Sellers in, on, under, or from the Gresham Facilities;
(ii) any emission, discharge, or release of any Hazardous Substance by Sellers on or from the Gresham Facilities into or upon the air, surface water, ground water, or land; or

(c) To LSIs knowledge, no actual or threatened Discharges have occurred, and no Contamination exists, at the Gresham Facilities Real Property that in either case by themselves require, or would reasonably be expected to require, notification, investigation, or remediation, or to result in material liabilities or obligations of Sellers or Purchaser, pursuant to any Environmental Laws.
(d) To LSIs knowledge, Sellers hold all registrations, permits, licenses, and approvals required to be issued by or filed with any federal, state, or local Government Authority pursuant to any Environmental Laws for the occupancy of the Gresham Facilities by Sellers, the conduct of the Fab Operations, and the ownership and use of the Specified Assets by Sellers (Fab Environmental Permits). To LSIs knowledge: (i) any Fab Environmental Permits held by Sellers are currently in full force and effect, (ii) Sellers are, and for the preceding five years have been, in substantial compliance with the terms and conditions of such Fab Environmental Permits, and (iii) no condition exists at the Gresham Facilities Real Property that would prohibit Purchaser from being in substantial compliance with applicable Environmental Laws when operating the Gresham Facilities in the same manner as Sellers presently operate the Gresham Facilities.
(e) No Seller has expressly assumed or undertaken any liability or corrective, investigatory, or remedial obligation of any third party relating to any Environmental Laws applicable to Sellers operation of and activities at the Gresham Facilities Real Property that would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under any Environmental Law on the part of Sellers or Purchaser to any Government Authority or other third party.
(f) LSI has made available to Purchaser copies of any material environmental reports, audits, permits, licenses, registrations, and other environmental, health, and safety
13

14
the imposition of any Encumbrance upon any of the Specified Assets (except for Permitted Encumbrances.

Each Seller is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned or leased by it or the operation of its business makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Seller Material Adverse Effect. Other than Sellers, no Subsidiary of LSI is presently engaged in the operation of the Gresham Facilities.
2.15 Labor Matters. Neither LSI nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any labor or collective bargaining agreement with respect to any of the Available Employees and, to LSIs knowledge, there are no pending efforts to organize the Available Employees for purposes of representation by a labor organization.

4. | EMPLOYEE MATTERS |
4.1 Employment of Available Employees. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser will offer to employ all or substantially all of the Available Employees who are employed by LSI or another Seller on the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 4. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(a) Offers to Specified Employees. Within three days following the Signing Date, LSI will deliver to Purchaser a list of all Available Employees by name, title, and annual base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable. Within ten days after the Signing Date, Purchaser will provide to LSI a list identifying the Available Employees to whom Purchaser plans to offer employment as of the Closing Date (the employees identified on such list being referred to in this Agreement as the Specified Employees). If any Specified Employees employment with LSI is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated prior to the Closing, (i) LSI may, in its discretion, hire a replacement for such Specified Employee, (ii) any replacement hired by LSI will not become an Available Employee or a Specified Employee without Purchasers prior written approval, and (iii) Purchaser will have the right, but not the obligation, to choose another Available Employee who performs substantially the same job function as the terminated employee (if there is any such Available Employee) to replace the terminated employee as a Specified Employee. LSI will promptly provide Purchaser with an updated list of Available Employees as necessary to reflect any changes to the list delivered to Purchaser within three days the Signing Date, including any change in the base salary or hourly wage rate of any Available Employee; provided that an individual will be removed from the list of Available Employees only if his or her employment with LSI or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated or upon the mutual agreement of LSI and Purchaser. Prior to the Closing, on a date mutually agreed by the Parties, Purchaser will extend to each Specified Employee an offer of at-will employment that, if accepted, would contemplate that such Specified Employee would commence his or her employment with Purchaser at the Gresham Facilities as of the Closing Date. Each such written offer of employment will be conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing and will include the following terms which Purchaser agrees to maintain through June 30, 2006 (collectively, the Minimum Employment Terms) (provided, however, that Purchaser will not be required to guarantee employment to any Hired Employee and nothing herein will preclude Purchaser, at any time after the Closing Date, from terminating the employment of any Hired Employee for cause):
(i) Compensation. Purchaser will offer each Specified Employee base compensation at least equal to such Specified Employees base compensation as of the Closing Date, expressed either as base salary or as an hourly wage with a comparable shift schedule, as set forth in the list of Available Employees delivered by LSI to Purchaser on or prior to the Signing Date, as updated by LSI during the Pre-Closing Period, provided that any change in the base salary or hourly wage rate that may be made during the Pre-Closing Period is approved by Purchaser or is otherwise permitted under Section 6.2(c)(v).
18
(ii) Past Service Credit. Except to the extent expressly prohibited by Purchasers employee benefit plans, Purchaser will offer to credit each Specified Employee with service equal to the amount of service credit such Specified Employee has with LSI for purposes of vesting and eligibility (but not accrued benefits) under Purchasers employee benefit plans, including Purchasers qualified retirement plans, and for purposes of the rate of accrual of the Specified Employees vacation time. The existing balances of paid time off under LSIs employee benefit plans as of the Closing Date of each Specified Employee who becomes a Hired Employee (collectively, the Accrued Paid Time Off) will be transferred to Purchaser without reduction.
(iii) Employee Benefits. Purchaser will offer the Specified Employees health and welfare benefits that are comparable to the health and welfare benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser. With respect to each Specified Employee, Purchaser, except to the extent expressly prohibited by its employee benefit plans, will offer to waive all waiting periods and pre-existing condition exclusions for health and dental coverage to the extent that the Specified Employee would have been entitled to coverage under the corresponding plan of LSI immediately prior to the Closing Date, and will give appropriate credit for all co-payments and deductibles paid or accrued under LSIs medical, dental, and other health plans during the portion of the calendar year 2006 that precedes the Closing Date.
(iv) Payment of Transition Bonuses. Purchaser will offer to pay the bonuses earned by the Specified Employees who become Hired Employees, in amounts and under the terms specified in LSIs bonus plan set forth in Exhibit L-1 (the Transition Bonus Program), provided that Purchasers obligation to pay these bonuses will be limited to paying the amounts funded by LSI pursuant to Section 4.1(d) and to making such payments to Hired Employees in the amounts instructed by LSI.
(v) Acceptance of Offers. If, at any time before the Closing, it appears that any substantial portion of the Specified Employees may not accept Purchasers employment offers such that the Employee Closing Condition might not be satisfied, Purchaser will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that all or substantially all of the Specified Employees accept Purchasers employment offers.
(b) Retention of Hired Employees. Purchaser will hire each Specified Employee who accepts the offer of employment and whose employment with LSI is not terminated prior to the Closing, and each such Specified Employee who commences employment with Purchaser on or after the Closing Date will be referred herein as a Hired Employee. Purchaser will promptly notify LSI of each Specified Employee who becomes a Hired Employee. LSI will be responsible for all compensation and benefits, including any severance benefits, for Available Employees accrued before the Closing. Purchaser will be responsible for all compensation and benefits, including any severance benefits, for Hired Employees accrued or incurred after the Closing, except that LSI will provide the necessary funding to Purchaser for the amounts to be paid by Purchaser to Hired Employees pursuant to the Transition Bonus Program as provided in Section 4.1(d). Purchaser will immediately notify LSIs Director of Talent Acquisition and Management of any termination of the employment of any Hired Employee occurring after Closing and on or before June 30, 2006 and the basis for such
19
termination. Purchaser will not terminate the employment of any Hired Employee without cause on or before June 30, 2006.
(c) Employment Records. All of LSIs personnel files relating to the Available Employees and the Specified Employees will be retained by and remain the property of LSI. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, LSI will provide to Purchaser a copy of each Specified Employees last performance evaluation and any disciplinary matters arising with respect to any Specified Employee in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the Signing Date.
(d) Hired Employee Bonuses. Purchaser will accurately report to LSI, on a timely basis but no later than July 3, 2006, the information and data described in Exhibit L-2, which is required by LSI to calculate bonuses earned under the Transition Bonus Program. No later than July 7, 2006 LSI will accurately report to Purchaser the bonus amounts earned as of June 30, 2006, if any, by each Hired Employee and will deposit an amount of immediately available funds equal to the aggregate amount of all such bonus payments together with the employers corresponding FICA contribution amounts and Medicare taxes into to an account or accounts designated by Purchaser in writing (the Bonus Account) to be used by Purchaser to pay such bonuses and FICA contributions and Medicare taxes. Thereupon Purchaser will pay such bonuses, in the amounts specified and to the extent funded by LSI, to the Hired Employees as soon as possible and in no event later than July 15, 2006.
(e) Indemnification by Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless LSI from and against, and will compensate and reimburse LSI for, any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, demand, settlement, judgment, award, notice requirement, payment, backpay, benefits assessment, fine, penalty, tax, fee (including any legal fee, expert fee, accounting fee, or advisory fee), charge, cost (including any cost of investigation), or expense of any nature that is directly or indirectly incurred by LSI or to which LSI may otherwise become subject (whether or not relating to any third-party claim) and that arises from or as a result of, or is directly or indirectly connected with:
(i) any interviews with Available Employees conducted by Purchaser, ON, or any other Subsidiary of ON or any decision or determination made by Purchaser, ON, or any other Subsidiary of ON regarding which Available Employees will become Specified Employees or will receive employment offers from Purchaser, ON, or any other Subsidiary of ON;
(ii) the employment of the Hired Employees by Purchaser, ON, or any of ONs other Subsidiaries on or after the Closing Date;
(iii) the termination of any Hired Employees employment with Purchaser, ON, or any of ONs other Subsidiaries on or after the Closing Date;
(iv) Purchasers breach of any of its obligations under this Section 4.1;
(v) Purchasers failure to provide notice, pay, or benefits or otherwise comply with the WARN Act relating to any of the Available Employees; or
20
(vi) any suit or other legal proceeding related to any matter set forth in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of this Section 4.1(e) (including any legal proceeding commenced by LSI for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Section 4.1(e));
provided, however, that Purchaser will not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless LSI with respect to any claim asserted against LSI by any Hired Employee based upon the Transition Bonus Program (except to the extent that any such claim arises from Purchasers breach of any of its obligations under Section 4.1(a)(iv) or Section 4.1(d)).
(f) Indemnification by LSI. From and after the Closing, LSI will indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against, and will compensate and reimburse Purchaser for, any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, demand, settlement, judgment, award, notice requirement, payment, backpay, benefits assessment, fine, penalty, tax, fee (including any legal fee, expert fee, accounting fee, or advisory fee), charge, cost (including any cost of investigation), or expense of any nature that is directly or indirectly incurred by Purchaser or to which Purchaser may otherwise become subject (whether or not relating to any third-party claim) and that arises from or as a result of, or is directly or indirectly connected with:
(i) the employment or termination by LSI or any of its Subsidiaries of any Retained Employee;
(ii) the employment of the Available Employees by LSI or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date;
(iii) the termination of any Available Employees employment with LSI or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date;
(iv) LSIs breach of any of its obligations under this Section 4.1 or Section 4.3;
(v) the Transition Bonus Program (except to the extent that a claim arises from Purchasers breach of any of its obligations under Section 4.1(a)(iv) or Section 4.1(d)); or
(vi) any suit or other legal proceeding related to any matter set forth in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of this Section 4.1(f) (including any legal proceeding commenced by Purchaser for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Section 4.1(f));
provided, however, that LSI will not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless Purchaser with respect to any claim that arises from or relates to any interviews with Available Employees conducted by Purchaser, or any decision or determination made by Purchaser regarding which Available Employees will become Specified Employees or will receive employment offers from Purchaser.
For purposes of Section 4.1(e) and this Section 4.1(f), a claim will be deemed to have been incurred on the date on which medical, dental, vision, life, disability, or other related health or
21
welfare treatment or services was rendered and not the date of the submission of a claim related thereto.
(g) Employees on Leave or Disability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4: Purchaser will not be required to offer employment to any Specified Employee who, at the Closing Date, is on short-term or long-term disability or long-term or short-term leave unless and until such Specified Employee returns to active work from such leave or disability, at which time he or she will be offered employment by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.1(a); and Purchaser will have no obligation or liability for compensation or benefits of any such Specified Employee with respect to periods prior to the time he or she accepts such offer of employment and becomes a Hired Employee.
4.2 Termination at Closing. Effective as of the Closing Date, LSI will terminate the employment of each Hired Employee. After the Closing Date, LSI will not have any responsibility or obligation to Purchaser with respect to any Hired Employee, except for LSIs obligation to report accurately to Purchaser the earned bonus amounts to be paid to Hired Employees pursuant to the Transition Bonus Program and to fund the amount of such payments pursuant to Section 4.1(d) and except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.
4.3 Hired Employee 401(k) Plan Accounts. LSI will (a) cause each Hired Employee to vest in his or her interest under LSIs section 401(k) plan, (b) provide each Hired Employee with the right to receive a distribution of his or her interest under the LSI section 401(k) plan to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, and (c) provide each Hired Employee with an election to rollover his or her vested interest to a Purchaser section 401(k) plan. Purchaser will take all actions reasonably necessary to permit the Hired Employees to make a direct rollover of his or her entire account balance (including participant loans, to the extent not in default) to Purchasers section 401(k) plan, to the extent permitted by such plan of Purchaser. As a condition to Purchasers acceptance of any Hired Employees rollover of his or her vested interest, Purchaser will be entitled to receive from LSI an officers certificate or an opinion of counsel (with customary qualifications) to the effect that the LSI section 401(k) plan either (i) has received a recent favorable determination letter as to its qualification under the Code, and nothing has occurred since the date of such letter which could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification or (ii) substantially complies by its terms with the relevant qualification provisions of the Code and LSI will make such changes to the plan as are requested by the Internal Revenue Service as a condition of such qualification.
4.4 Nonsolicitation. Purchaser agrees that, during the period commencing on the Signing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the earlier of (a) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 or (b) the Closing Date, neither ON nor any of its Subsidiaries (including Purchaser) will solicit for employment with ON or Purchaser (or any other Person) or hire any of the Retained Employees who remain employed by LSI or any Subsidiary of LSI. LSI agrees that, (x) during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, LSI will not solicit for employment with LSI or any other Person or hire any of the Hired Employees who remain employed by ON or Purchaser or any other Subsidiary of Purchaser, and (y) during the period commencing on the Signing Date and ending on the Closing Date, LSI will not solicit for employment with LSI or any other Person (other than Purchaser) any of the Specified Employees (it being understood open position
22
postings, job requisitions, general employment advertisements, and similar internal or external notices published or circulated by LSI in the ordinary course of business will not be considered a violation of this clause (y)). However, this Section 4.4 will not be construed to prohibit any Party from placing general advertisements or similar notices that are not targeted specifically at employees of the other Parties or from engaging any recruiting firm or similar organization to identify or solicit persons for employment on behalf of such Party, as long as such recruiting firm or organization is not instructed to target any employees of the other Parties.
4.5 WARN Act. If Purchaser breaches its obligations under Section 4.1, then without limiting Purchasers obligations and liabilities under Section 4.1(e), Purchaser will be responsible for, and will indemnify and hold harmless LSI with respect to, any notices, payments, benefits, fines, penalties, backpay, and damages required under the WARN Act relating to the Available Employees.
5. | REAL PROPERTY MATTERS |
5.1 Completion of Land Survey. Purchaser will use its best efforts to cause the Survey to be completed, and to cause copies of the definitive ALTA Survey report to be delivered to the Parties, as soon as possible after the Signing Date. LSI will lend its full and timely support and cooperation to Purchaser with respect to the completion of the ALTA Survey as soon as possible after the Signing Date. However, neither LSI nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to become subject to any Liabilities, or to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses or to pay any consideration to any Person, pursuant to this Section 5.1.
5.2 Lot Line Adjustment and Land Division
(a) The Gresham Facilities Real Property is anticipated generally to be the real property with the same or substantially the same boundaries as those indicated in the drawing attached as Schedule 1. Such real property is currently comprised of four legal parcels that can be conveyed at Closing without the need for a lot line adjustment or land division (the Existing Legal Parcels), and certain partial parcels that will need to be adjusted or created by means of the Lot Line Adjustment or the Land Division (as defined below) in order to be legally conveyable (the Residual Real Property).
(b) Promptly after the Signing Date, Sellers will diligently pursue its application, and will take all additional required action, under the ordinances, rules, and regulations of the City of Gresham, and, as applicable, the County of Multnomah (collectively, the Applicable Authorities) to either (i) legally adjust the boundaries of the Gresham Facilities Real Property so as to have the same or substantially the same boundaries as those indicated in the drawing attached as Schedule 1 pursuant to Chapter 92 of the Oregon Revised Statutes, and thereby to cause the Residual Real Property to be legally conveyable, or (ii) under the circumstances described in the penultimate sentence of this Section 5.2(b), cause the Residual Property to be legally partitioned or subdivided into one or more separate legal lots. LSI anticipates accomplishing the foregoing by means of an adjustment to the lot lines of adjacent lots owned by LSI Gresham Sub as permitted under Section 92.010(7)(b) of the Oregon Revised Statutes (the Lot Line Adjustment). If the Applicable Authorities make a final, non-appealable determination that they will not permit the Lot Line Adjustment, then upon obtaining knowledge
23
of such decision, LSI will promptly undertake the required action to create such separate legal lot (or lots) by means of partition or subdivision of the larger parcel of property owned by Sellers and of which the Gresham Facilities Real Property is a part. This creation of such separate legal lot (or lots) by partition or subdivision is hereinafter referred to as the Land Division.
(c) Purchaser will lend its full and timely support and cooperation to Sellers (both before and, if applicable, after Closing) with respect to the Lot Line Adjustment. If the Applicable Authorities will not permit the creation of one or more separate legal lots for the Gresham Facilities Real Property by Lot Line Adjustment, Purchaser will lend its full and timely support and cooperation to Sellers with respect to the Land Division. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to become subject to any Liabilities, or to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses or to pay any consideration to any Person, pursuant to this Section 5.2.
(d) If, during the Pre-Closing Period, Purchaser receives notice of any Encumbrance on the Gresham Facilities Real Property that was not previously disclosed or known to Purchaser and that would cause the condition in Section 8.6 not to be satisfied, Purchaser will promptly notify LSI thereof in writing and LSI will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Encumbrance to be removed prior to the End Date.
5.3 Partial Sale Alternative. If the End Date has been extended pursuant to Section 10.1, but neither the Lot Line Adjustment nor the Land Division has been accomplished by June 30, 2006, then the Parties will proceed as follows (the Partial Sale Alternative):
(a) at the Closing, LSI will cause LSI Gresham Sub to execute and deliver to Purchaser a duly executed and acknowledged special warranty deed, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C, in favor of Purchaser with respect to the Existing Legal Parcels (the First Deed);
(b) at the Closing, LSI Gresham Sub and Purchaser will enter into a ground lease with respect to the Residual Real Property (the Ground Lease), the terms of which will be negotiated reasonably and in good faith by the Parties prior to the Closing and will be designed to put the Parties in as close to the same position, economically and otherwise (subject to Section 1.4(d)), as they would have been in if the Closing had occurred and the Parties had not proceeded with the Partial Sale Alternative (and if the Parties are unable to agree on any material terms in the Ground Lease, the dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator appointed by JAMS, who will have the power to determine such material terms based upon the foregoing);
(c) at the Closing, LSI Gresham Sub and Purchaser will enter into a memorandum of Lease with respect to the Residual Real Property (the Memorandum of Lease);
(d) at the Closing, LSI will deliver to Purchaser affidavits, each in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and such other documents in favor of the Title Company (but not in favor of Purchaser) and relating to title insurance as are customarily provided by a seller and by a lessor to a title company in Multnomah County, Oregon;
24
(e) after the Closing, the Parties will cooperate to complete the Lot Line Adjustment or the Land Division as quickly as reasonably possible; and
(f) the closing of the purchase of the Residual Real Property (the Subsequent Closing) will take place at a time and on a date to be designated by LSI in writing that is at least two Business Days but not more than ten Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Section 5.3(g) (except for the condition set forth in Section 5.3(g)(iii), which by its nature can be satisfied only at the Subsequent Closing), and at the Subsequent Closing:
(i) LSI will deliver to Purchaser a recorded lot line adjustment deed or a partition or subdivision plat, evidencing the City of Greshams final approval of the Lot Line Adjustment or Land Division, as the case may be, after the expiration of the appeals period, if any, or entry of a final judgment upon any appeal affirming the Lot Line Adjustment or Land Division;
(ii) LSI will cause LSI Gresham Sub to execute and deliver to Purchaser a duly executed and acknowledged special warranty deed, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C, in favor of Purchaser with respect to the Residual Real Property (as the same may have been reconfigured during the Lot Line Adjustment or Land Division process (provided that the Residual Real Property will have the same or substantially the same boundaries as those indicated in the drawing attached as Schedule 1) so that the same is legally conveyable) (the Second Deed);
(iii) LSI will deliver to Purchaser an affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and such other documents in favor of the Title Company (but not in favor of Purchaser) and relating to title insurance as are customarily provided by a seller to a title company in Multnomah County, Oregon;
(iv) if, and only if, the Subsequent Closing occurs after the Final Installment Date, Purchaser will deliver or cause to be delivered to LSI the $6,000,000 payment referred to in Section 1.4(d), and upon receipt of such payment, LSI will deliver to Purchaser a receipt for this payment;
(v) the Memorandum of Lease will be terminated; and
(vi) the Ground Lease will be terminated.
(g) LSIs obligations under clause (f) above and Purchasers obligation to make the $6,000,000 payment referred to in Section 1.4(d) at the Subsequent Closing, will be subject to the following conditions:
(i) the Title Company must be committed to issue to Purchaser an ALTA Owners Policy of Title Insurance with the standard printed exceptions deleted, containing such endorsements as the Title Company has, prior to the date on which the Subsequent Closing occurs, agreed in a binding written commitment in favor of Purchaser and in a binding written commitment in favor of LSI (or LSI
25
Gresham Sub), to issue, all dated the date and time of the recording of the Second Deed in an amount not less than $6,000,000, insuring Purchaser as owner of fee simple title to the Residual Real Property subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and any exceptions caused by, or resulting from actions or inactions of, ON or Purchaser or any other Subsidiary of ON;
(ii) no Governmental Order preventing, prohibiting, or making unlawful the sale of the Residual Real Property to Purchaser will have been issued by any United States federal or state court or, to the extent the failure to comply with such Governmental Order would result in the imposition on Purchaser or ON of a material fine, sanction, or penalty, by any other federal, state, or local Government Authority and remain in effect; and no United States federal, state, or local Legal Requirement that makes the sale of the Residual Real Property to Purchaser illegal will have been enacted or adopted and remain in effect (except where the failure to comply with such Legal Requirement would not result in the imposition on Purchaser or ON of a material fine, sanction, or penalty); and
(iii) the deliveries and actions set forth in Section 5.3(f) will be completed substantially concurrently.
5.4 Title Insurance. LSI will pay the standard coverage portion of the title insurance premium for each title insurance policy referred to in this Agreement insuring Purchaser, and Purchaser will pay the additional premium for extended coverage and the cost of the endorsements requested by Purchaser with respect to each such title insurance policy.

For purposes of determining whether such facts or circumstances have a Seller Material Adverse Effect, none of the following will be taken into account: (i) any adverse effect (including any claim, litigation, disruption of business relationships, or loss of employees) arising from or attributable to (A) the announcement or pendency of any of the Contemplated Transactions, or (B) changes after the Signing Date affecting the semiconductor industry or the U.S. economy generally; (ii) the taking of any action required by this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements; (iii) any breach by Purchaser of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement; and (iv) any change after the Signing Date in applicable Legal Requirements or the interpretation thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the condition described in this Section 8.6 will be deemed satisfied on the End Date if the Title Company is unable to so commit solely as a result of Purchasers failure to use reasonable efforts to obtain such title insurance commitment, Purchasers failure to use reasonable efforts to satisfy the requirements of the applicable title insurance commitment, Purchasers failure to use

No Governmental Order preventing, prohibiting, or making unlawful the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will have been issued since the Signing Date by any United States federal or state court, or, to the extent the failure to comply with such Governmental Order would result in the imposition on LSI or any of its Subsidiaries of a material fine, sanction, or penalty, by any other federal, state, or local Government Authority and remain in effect as of the Closing Date; and no United States federal, state, or local Legal Requirement that makes consummation of the Contemplated Transactions illegal will have been enacted or adopted since the Signing Date and remain in effect as of the Closing Date (except where the failure to comply with such Legal Requirement would not result in the imposition on LSI or any of its Subsidiaries of a material fine, sanction, or penalty).
9.7 Completion of Lot Line Adjustment or Land Division. The Lot Line Adjustment or the Land Division will have been accomplished (and the appeals period, if any, for the Lot Line Adjustment or Land Division will have expired without any Person having instituted an appeal, or all such appeals will have been resolved) such that the Gresham Facilities Real Property has the same or substantially the same boundaries as those indicated in the drawing attached as Schedule 1; provided, however, that if neither Lot Line Adjustment nor the Land Division has been so accomplished as of June 30, 2006, then this condition will be deemed to have been waived automatically by LSI.
9.8 Material Adverse Effect. Since the Signing Date, no event will have occurred, and no circumstance or condition will have arisen, that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.
10. | TERMINATION |
10.1 Right to Terminate Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:
(a) by the mutual written consent of the Parties;
(b) by either LSI or Purchaser (by delivery of a written termination notice in accordance with Section 10.2) at any time after the End Date if the Closing has not taken place on or before the End Date (provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) will not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement was the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur prior to the End Date);
(c) by LSI (by delivery of a written termination notice in accordance with Section 10.2) if (i) there has been a breach on the part of Purchaser of any of its covenants such that the condition set forth in Section 9.2 would not be satisfied as of the
33
time of such breach, (ii) LSI has given written notice of such breach to Purchaser, (iii) at least twenty days have elapsed since the delivery of such written notice to Purchaser, and (iv) such breach has not been cured in all material respects;
(d) by Purchaser (by delivery of a written termination notice in accordance with Section 10.2) if (i) there has been a breach on the part of LSI of any of its covenants such that the condition set forth in Section 8.2 would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach, (ii) Purchaser has given written notice of such breach to LSI, (iii) at least twenty days have elapsed since the delivery of such written notice to LSI, and (iv) such breach has not been cured in all material respects; or
(e) by Purchaser if (i) it receives notice of any Encumbrance on the Gresham Facilities Real Property that is not a Permitted Encumbrance and that would reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect, (ii) Purchaser delivers a notice to LSI, within five Business Days after Purchaser receives such notice, stating Purchasers intention to terminate this Agreement due to such Encumbrance, (iii) such Encumbrance has not been removed and LSI has not taken action to mitigate such Encumbrance such that such Encumbrance no longer has a Seller Material Adverse Effect, (iv) a period of ten (10) days has elapsed since the delivery of such notice to LSI and LSI has not delivered a notice to Purchaser stating that LSI will diligently pursue removal of such Encumbrance, and (v) Purchaser delivers a written termination notice in accordance with Section 10.2 to LSI within three Business Days after the expiration of such ten-day period.
If Purchaser does not deliver a written termination notice to LSI pursuant to Section 10.1(e) within three Business Days after the expiration of the ten-day period referred to in Section 10.1(e), then the Encumbrance referred to in Section 10.1(e) will be deemed to be a Permitted Encumbrance. For purposes of this Agreement, End Date means May 31, 2006; provided, however, that if on May 31, 2006, the conditions set forth in Section 8.7 and Section 9.7 (Completion of Lot Line Adjustment or Land Division) have not been satisfied and each of the other conditions set forth in Sections 8 and 9 has been satisfied or waived (other than the conditions set forth in Sections 8.4, 9.4, and 9.5, which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, and other than the condition set forth in Section 8.6), the End Date will be automatically extended to June 30, 2006.
10.2 Termination Procedures. If either Purchaser or LSI wishes to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, such Party will deliver to the other Party a written termination notice stating that such Party is terminating this Agreement and setting forth a brief statement of the basis on which such Party is terminating this Agreement.
10.3 Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, neither Party will have any obligation or other Liability to the other Party, except that: (a) the Parties will remain bound by the provisions of Section 4.4, this Section 10.3, and Section 13 and by the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement; (b) neither Party will be relieved of any Liability for any breach of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or its obligation to take any other action required to be taken by
34
such Party at or before the Closing; and (c) LSI will be entitled to retain the Deposit if, and only if:
(i) | either Party has terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b); and |
(ii) | the Closing has not taken place by the End Date because of (A) breaches of, or inaccuracies in, the representations made by Purchaser in Section 3, as a result of which the Closing condition in Section 9.1 was not satisfied as of the End Date, (B) breaches of the covenants made by Purchaser in this Agreement, as a result of which the Closing condition in Section 9.2 was not satisfied as of the End Date, or (C) the occurrence of an event, circumstance, or condition that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, as a result of which the Closing condition in Section 9.8 was not satisfied as of the End Date; and |
(iii) | all of the conditions set forth in Section 8 were satisfied on the End Date, other than (x) the condition set forth in Section 8.4, which by its nature is to be satisfied at the Closing, and (y) any other condition whose failure to be satisfied results solely from Purchasers material breach of this Agreement. |
If Purchaser is not entitled to a refund of the Deposit pursuant to clause (c) of the preceding sentence, then without limiting any right or remedy that LSI might otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to any breach by Purchaser of any provision of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, LSI will be entitled to retain the Deposit free of any claims by Purchaser. If LSI is not entitled to retain the Deposit pursuant to this Section 10.3, LSI will refund the Deposit to Purchaser within five days after the termination of this Agreement, unless there is a good faith dispute regarding whether LSI is entitled to retain the Deposit.
11. | INDEMNIFICATION |
11.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties set forth in Sections 2 and 3 and in their respective Closing Certificates, and the rights of the Parties to assert claims based on actual or alleged breaches of the covenants in Section 6 and Section 7, will survive the Closing but will terminate and expire, and will cease to be of any force or effect, at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and all Liability of the Parties pursuant to Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(b), 11.4(a) and 11.4(b) with respect to such representations, warranties, and covenants will thereupon be extinguished; provided, however, that if, prior to such first anniversary, either Purchaser or LSI has duly delivered to the other Party, in conformity with all of the applicable procedures set forth in Section 11.9, a Claim Notice setting forth a claim for indemnification based upon the other Partys breach of any of such representations, warranties, or covenants, then the specific claim set forth in such Claim Notice will survive (and will not be extinguished upon) such first anniversary.
11.2 Indemnification by LSI. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.1 and Section 11.3 and elsewhere in this Section 11, from and after the Closing Date, LSI will indemnify Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors,
35

employees, agents, and representatives in their capacities as such (collectively, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons) against all Damages incurred or sustained by any such Purchaser Indemnified Person to the extent resulting from:

(b) | any breach by LSI of any of its covenants set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement; |
(c) | any of the Retained Liabilities; |
(d) | (i) any pending or future dispute between LSI or any of its Subsidiaries and [*] in respect of the [*], (ii) the termination of the [*] pursuant to Section [*], (iii) the use and occupancy of the Gresham Facilities Real Property or any portion thereof by [*] or its agents or contractors prior to the Closing, or (iv) the use and occupancy of the Gresham Facilities Real Property or any portion thereof by [*] or its agents or contractors, to the extent such use and occupancy is made pursuant to the [*] or otherwise is substantially consistent with the pattern of such use and occupancy during the six-month period prior to the Closing Date, or the termination of such use and occupancy (other than such use or occupancy as to which Purchaser may expressly consent in writing after the Closing); or |
(e) | the SIP or the SIP Bonds and Related Documents or the termination or unwinding of the SIP or the SIP Bonds and Related Documents. |
11.3 Limitations on LSIs Indemnification Obligations
(a) LSI will not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), except to the extent that the cumulative amount of the Damages for which LSI, but for this Section 11.3(a), would be liable under Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b) exceeds $2,100,000 (the Deductible Amount); and LSI will be required to pay, and will be liable for, only the cumulative amount of such excess; provided that the limitation set forth in this Section 11.3(a) will not apply to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(b) to the extent that Damages result from any willful breach by LSI of any covenant in Section 6.2(c).
(b) The total amount of the payments that LSI can be required to make to all Purchaser Indemnified Persons pursuant to Sections 11.2(a) and (b) will be limited in the aggregate to a maximum of $10,500,000; provided that the limitation set forth in this Section 11.3(b) will not apply to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(b) to the extent that Damages result from any willful breach by LSI of any covenant in Section 6.2(c).
(c) LSI will not have liability to any Purchaser Indemnified Person for amounts claimed under Section 11.2(a) to the extent LSI proves that (i) any member of the Purchaser Knowledge Group had actual knowledge at the Signing Date of the facts and circumstances of the breach or breaches underlying such claims and (ii) based on such facts and circumstances, as of the Signing Date such breach or breaches would have reasonably been expected to give rise to Damages exceeding $5,000,000 in the aggregate.
36
11.4 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.1 and Section 11.5 and elsewhere in this Section 11, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser will indemnify LSI and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the Seller Indemnified Persons) against all Damages incurred or sustained by any such Seller Indemnified Person to the extent resulting from:
(a) | any breach of the representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement or in Purchasers Closing Certificate; |
(b) | any breach by Purchaser of any of the covenants set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement; |
(c) | all Environmental Liabilities arising or resulting from Purchasers, ONs, and any of ONs other Subsidiaries activities at and operation of the Gresham Facilities Real Property after the Closing Date, except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities constitute Retained Liabilities; or |

11.5 Limitations on Purchasers Indemnification Obligations
(a) Purchaser will not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 11.4(a) or Section 11.4(b), except to the extent that the cumulative amount of the Damages for which Purchaser, but for this Section 11.5(a), would be liable under Section 11.4(a) or Section 11.4(b) exceeds the Deductible Amount; and Purchaser will be required to pay, and will be liable for, only the cumulative amount of such excess.
(b) The total amount of the payments that Purchaser can be required to make to all Seller Indemnified Persons pursuant to Sections 10.4(a) and (b) will be limited in the aggregate to a maximum of $10,500,000.

11.6 Right of Subrogation. To the extent an Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of Damages, and such Indemnified Party could have recovered or could later have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party (including any insurer) based on the underlying claim or demand asserted against such Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnifying Party will be entitled to exercise, and will be subrogated to, any rights and remedies of such Indemnified Party (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution, and other rights of recovery) to the extent necessary to permit such Indemnifying Party to recover from such third party the amount of such payment. Such Indemnified Party will take such actions as such Indemnifying Party may reasonably request for
37
the purpose of enabling such Indemnifying Party to perfect or exercise such Indemnifying Partys right of subrogation hereunder.
11.7 Insurance; Set-off. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under Section 11.2 or Section 11.4 will be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in any Ancillary Agreement, no Party nor any of its Subsidiaries will have any right to set-off any payment due pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement against any unresolved indemnification claim.
11.8 Exclusive Remedy
(a) From and after the Closing, the rights to assert indemnification claims and receive indemnification payments pursuant to Section 11 will be the sole and exclusive right and remedy exercisable by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2 or Section 3 or in any Partys Closing Certificate or the nonperformance of any covenant set forth in Section 6 or Section 7 of this Agreement, except that this exclusive remedy does not preclude any Party or any of its Subsidiaries from bringing an action for common law intentional fraud against a Person who has committed such fraud.
(b) Except as expressly provided in Section 11.2, no Seller and no current or former stockholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, or advisor of any Seller will have any personal or individual Liability of any nature to Purchaser with respect to any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by LSI in Section 2. The Parties acknowledge that (A) no current or former stockholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, or advisor of any Seller has made or is making any representations, warranties, or commitments whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, (B) except as expressly provided in Section 2 and LSIs Closing Certificate, no Seller has made or is making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, and (C) except for the representations and warranties expressly provided in Section 2 and LSIs Closing Certificate, Purchaser is not relying or has relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 2 AND LSIS CLOSING CERTIFICATE, THE FAB TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY, FAB INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OTHER SPECIFIED MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT, AND LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY WILL BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR LICENSED AS IS, WHERE IS, AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND SELLERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 11.4, neither Purchaser nor any current or former stockholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, or advisor of ON or Purchaser will have any personal or individual Liability of any nature to LSI with respect to any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in Section 3. The Parties acknowledge that (A) no current or former stockholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, or advisor of ON or Purchaser has made or is making any representations, warranties, or commitments whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied,
38
(B) except as expressly provided in Section 3 and Purchasers Closing Certificate, Purchaser has not made or is not making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, and (C) except for the representations and warranties expressly provided in Section 3 and Purchasers Closing Certificate, LSI is not relying and has not relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied.
11.9 Procedures for Indemnification Claims
(a) Claim Notices. A Person (the Indemnified Party) that wishes to assert an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.4 will promptly deliver to the Person liable for such indemnification (the Indemnifying Party) a written notice (a Claim Notice) of any Matter which the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (it being understood that no Claim Notice may be delivered unless the Indemnified Party has reasonably determined, on the basis of facts known to such Indemnified Party, that the claim set forth in such Claim Notice is valid and not a speculative claim and has given or is reasonably likely to give rise to Damages of the Indemnified Party) and, to the extent known:
(i) a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim for indemnification; and
(ii) a reasonably detailed description of, and a good faith estimate of the total amount of, the Damages actually incurred to the date of such Claim Notice as a result of such claim;
provided, however, that in the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any Matter brought or asserted by any third Person (a Third Party Claim) against an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party will give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (x) not later than ten Business Days prior to the time any response to the Third Party Claim is required, if reasonably practicable, and (y) in any event within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof; provided, further, that failure to give such notification will not affect the rights to indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
(b) Third Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its own expense, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by written notice within 30 calendar days. If the Indemnifying Party so elects:
(i) the Indemnifying Party will employ counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (provided that such counsel has no conflict of interest) and will assume and defend any such Third Party Claim at its own costs and expense, subject to Section 11.3(b) and Section 11.5(b);
(ii) as long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to pay or otherwise indemnify the Indemnified Party against any attorneys fees or other expenses of counsel incurred on behalf of such Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party
39
Claim; however, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in (but not control) such defense at its own expense;
(iii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in all aspects of such Third Party Claim, including by providing the other Party or its agents with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and all books, records, and other documents and materials that are under the control of such Party or any of such Partys Subsidiaries, advisors, or representatives and that are reasonably required for such Partys use in contesting such Third Party Claim;
(iv) the Indemnifying Party will not compromise, settle, adjust, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless the judgment or proposed settlement by its terms: (A) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim without reimbursement from or contribution by the Indemnified Party; (B) releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim; (C) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party; and (D) does not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party;
(v) the Indemnified Party will not compromise, settle, adjust, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), unless the judgment or proposed settlement by its terms: (A) obligates the Indemnified Party to pay the full amount of the Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim without reimbursement from or contribution by the Indemnifying Party; (B) releases the Indemnifying Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim; (C) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnifying Party; and (D) does not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnifying Party;
(vi) subject to the provisions of clause (iv) and clause (v) of this Section 11.9(b), the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will (and will cause its respective Subsidiaries to) execute such documents and take such other actions as the other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of facilitating the defense of, or any settlement, compromise, or adjustment relating to, such Third Party Claim.
If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will be entitled to defend such Third Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling, compromising, adjusting, or consenting to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim; provided, however, the Indemnified Party will not compromise, settle, adjust, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), unless the judgment or proposed settlement by its terms: (A) obligates the Indemnified Party to pay the full amount of the Liability in
40
connection with such Third Party Claim without reimbursement from or contribution by the Indemnifying Party; (B) releases the Indemnifying Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim; (C) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnifying Party; and (D) does not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnifying Party.
(c) Environmental Claims. If Purchaser receives any claim, including any inquiry or request for information from a Government Authority, pertaining to a matter that Purchaser believes, in good faith, might result in an Environmental Liability for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 (an Environmental Claim), Purchaser will promptly deliver a Claim Notice to LSI pursuant to Section 11.9(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.9(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser will have the duty to respond to such Environmental Claim, at its sole cost and expense, until such time as Purchaser is able to establish that such Environmental Claim would reasonably be expected to result in an Environmental Liability for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2. The duty to respond includes any and all investigations or requests for information required by any Government Authority. Purchaser and LSI will mutually cooperate in response of any such Environmental Claim. LSI and Purchaser each will have a continuing right to participate, at its own cost, and provide its own response to any such Environmental Claim.
11.10 Tax Effects of Indemnity Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 11 will be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the consideration paid with respect to the Specified Assets and the Licensed Intellectual Property.
12. | POST-CLOSING COVENANTS |
12.1 Access to Information. At all times after the Closing Date, each Party will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, at the other Partys reasonable request, give the other Party and its advisors and representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the first Partys books and records to the extent related to the operation of the Fab prior to the Closing, and will furnish copies thereof, at the requesting Partys expense, for legitimate business reasons including (a) in connection with Matters and other regulatory or legal proceedings involving the operation of the Fab prior to the Closing and (b) verifying the accuracy of calculations made pursuant to this Agreement (including, for example, the prorations and adjustments contemplated by Section 1.8); provided that such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of such Party or its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser will provide LSI with reasonable access to, and permit LSI at its sole expense to make copies of, any and all Fab Information in existence as of Closing, as reasonably requested by LSI.
12.2 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, each Party will and will cause its Subsidiaries to, to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as the other Party may reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
41
12.3 Certain Contracts and Permits
(a) With respect to any Long-Term Supply Contract that is not assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, during the period from the Closing Date until (i) LSI (or the Subsidiary of LSI that is party to the Long-Term Supply Contract) is able to terminate such Long-Term Supply Contract without incurring any termination fees, penalties, or similar Liabilities and (ii) Purchaser has made alternative arrangements for the continued supply of the products or services provided pursuant to such Long-Term Supply Contract, Purchaser will, at its own expense, act as the agent of LSI (or its Subsidiary) in submitting forecasts to the supplier, in ordering, purchasing, and paying for products and services, and in otherwise carrying out LSIs (or its Subsidiarys) rights (other than termination rights) and obligations under the Long-Term Supply Contract. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the products and services it purchases as LSIs (or LSIs Subsidiarys) agent under a Long-Term Supply Contract will be used to produce products that will be sold, or provide services that will be rendered, to LSI under the Wafer Supply Agreement, and that Purchaser will not be entitled to any separate reimbursement from LSI for amounts paid by Purchaser as LSIs (or LSIs Subsidiarys) agent to a supplier under a Long-Term Supply Contract other than the amounts paid by LSI to Purchaser pursuant to the Wafer Supply Agreement. Each of LSI and Purchaser will, and will cause its respective Subsidiaries to, take such actions, in connection with any such Long-Term Supply Contract, as are reasonably necessary so that LSI and its Subsidiaries will remain at all times in compliance in all material respects with their obligations under such Long-Term Supply Contracts and to prevent the imposition of termination fees, penalties, or other Liabilities (other than routine payment obligations associated with the purchase of products and services) on LSI or any of its Subsidiaries, unless LSI has given its prior written consent thereto. In addition, Purchaser will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LSI and its Subsidiaries from and against, all Damages incurred or sustained by LSI and its Subsidiaries that arise or result from any failure by Purchaser (or any other Subsidiary of ON) to comply with the terms of any such Long-Term Supply Contract (including payment terms) when carrying out LSIs (or its Subsidiarys) rights and obligations under the Long-Term Supply Contract. LSI will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, amend any such Long-Term Supply Contract or waive any material right thereunder during the period referred to in the first sentence of this Section 12.3(a) without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(b) Except as may be otherwise provided in the Ancillary Agreements, with respect to each Shared Contract that is not replaced by a Contract of Purchaser as of the Closing Date, the Parties will enter into an alternative, lawful arrangement under which Purchaser (or one or more other designated ON Subsidiaries) will have the material benefits of such Shared Contract that are applicable to the operation of the Fab, during the period from the Closing Date until a Replacement Contract is entered into or one year after the Closing Date, whichever occurs first.
(c) For a period of one year following the Closing Date, LSI will, and will cause the other Sellers to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Purchaser the material benefits of any Fab-Related Contract (other than the Long-Term Supply Contracts) or Fab-Related Government Permit that was not assigned to Purchaser as a result of the failure to obtain any Consent required for the assignment of such Fab-Related Contract to Purchaser. In
42
[*] | Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment. |
addition, Purchaser will cooperate with and reasonably assist Sellers, as Sellers may reasonably request, regarding the termination and winding up of any such Fab-Related Contracts that are not assumed by Purchaser.
(d) After the Closing Date, Purchaser will make reasonable accommodations to permit the continued use of the Gresham Facilities Real Property by [*] in substantially the same manner as [*] is using the Gresham Facilities Real Property immediately prior to the Closing Date, except as provided below. If Purchaser gives LSI at least [*] advance notice that Purchaser desires to have [*] cease using any portion of the Gresham Facilities Real Property, LSI will exercise all rights it has, if any, to terminate (prior to the end of this [*] period and diligently during any period thereafter, as necessary) any rights [*] may have under the [*] to use such portion of the Gresham Facilities Real Property; provided that Purchasers compliance with its obligations under this Section 12.3(d) will not constitute consent to the use and occupancy of the Gresham Facilities Real Property for purposes of the parenthetical at the end of Section [*].
(e) If, prior to the Closing, LSI (or a Subsidiary of LSI) has not paid the portion of the purchase price of the [*] that remains unpaid as of the Signing Date, then after the Closing Date: (i) Purchaser will be responsible for carrying out properly the final acceptance tests in accordance with the terms of the Seller Contract related to the [*], (ii) Purchaser will notify LSI when final acceptance of the [*] in accordance with the terms of such Seller Contract has occurred, and (iii) upon receipt of such notice, LSI will pay to [*] the remaining portion of the purchase price for the [*]. If Purchaser does not provide final acceptance of the [*] in accordance with the terms of the Seller Contract related to the [*], LSI will be responsible for returning the [*] to [*] and LSI will be entitled to (and Purchaser will assign to LSI the right to receive) any refund, credit, or other compensation that may be owed or provided by [*] as a result thereof.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the amounts payable by LSI or one of its Subsidiaries under a purchase order that LSI or one of its Subsidiaries intends to place during the Pre-Closing Period, for a [*] for use in the Fab (the [*]) will not be an Assumed Liability, but rather LSI will pay such amounts when they become due provided that: (i) Purchaser will be responsible for accepting delivery, arranging for installation, and certifying final acceptance of the [*] in accordance with the terms of such purchase order, and (ii) Purchaser will keep LSI apprised of the status of the delivery, installation, and acceptance of the [*] so that LSI can determine when payment of such amounts is due. For avoidance of doubt, the purchase order for the [*] will be a Fab-Related Contract.

Section 9601, et. seq.) or any other Environmental Law, but excluding any claims arising out of any breach by LSI of this Agreement, any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement, or any claims for common law intentional fraud by Sellers. The foregoing release will not apply to any statutory right under any law, including any Environmental Law, to investigate any Environmental Liability or potential Environmental Liability if Purchaser, acting in good faith, believes that such Environmental Liability or potential Environmental Liability may be, in whole or in part, a Retained Liability or neither a Retained Liability nor Purchasers Liability, and provided further that such release does not limit or preclude Purchasers rights or ability to obtain from Sellers and their agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns information, data, documents, or testimony through litigation or arbitration, whether directly or by third-party process, or to take any other actions as may be necessary or appropriate for Purchaser to evaluate, develop, respond to, or defend any claims or

The foregoing release does not apply to any rights, claims, or demands at law to the extent arising out of the environmental condition of, or out of activities at or management or operation of, real property adjoining the Gresham Facilities Real Property on or after the date of LSIs or any of its Subsidiaries acquisition of such adjoining real property. For the foregoing purposes (but without in any way expanding the scope of the foregoing release), Purchaser hereby specifically waives the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar law of any other state, territory or jurisdiction (if and to the extent that they would otherwise be applicable to the release set forth in this paragraph). Section 1542 provides:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
Purchaser hereby specifically acknowledges that it has carefully reviewed this subsection and discussed its import with legal counsel and that the provisions of this subsection are a material part of this Agreement.

It is expressly understood that the quality and performance standards and requirements set forth in this Agreement are intended to represent the operating experience and capability of the Gresham Facilities operations as conducted by LSI immediately prior to the Closing (the Reference Point). In the event that SCI reasonably and with adequate specificity demonstrates, and so notifies LSI in writing within ninety (90) days after the Reference Point, that the actual operating capability and
4
performance of the Gresham Facilities operations as of the Reference Point are inferior to that required for performance to any of such standards or requirements specified herein such that SCIs performance hereunder is adversely impacted to a material extent, at SCIs request the Parties shall in good faith modify such standards or requirements so as to reflect the actual operating capability and performance of the Gresham Facilities operations as of the Reference Point. It is further understood that for a limited period after the Effective Date SCI will require certain assistance under the Transition Services Agreement. If an issue arises under the Transition Services Agreement that adversely impacts SCIs ability to perform under this Agreement, the parties will discuss in good faith resolution of the issue.
2.1 Products. During the term of this Agreement, subject to the mix limitations in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 and the capacity limitations in Section 4.4, SCI will supply LSI with LSIs Requirements for Products. If LSI requests that SCI manufacture and provide to LSI Products that are not of the type manufactured or capable of being manufactured at the Gresham Facilities as of the Effective Date but are capable of being manufactured at the Gresham Facilities as of the date of LSIs request, including but not limited to certain Products LSI procures from [*] in [*], the Parties will mutually agree in writing on the lead times, acceptable yields and defect densities, and other applicable quality and functional requirements and specifications for such products and thereafter such products will automatically be deemed to be Products under this Agreement and the agreed-upon lead times, acceptable yields and defect densities, and other applicable quality and functional requirements and specifications will be deemed to be Specifications under this Agreement. SCI is not required to perform process development work for new technology platforms. The addition of products using processes not being run at the Gresham Facilities as of the Effective Date is subject to mutual agreement. Any process development costs for such additional products will be discussed in good faith between the Parties.
2.2 Wafer Sort Test Services. SCI will perform Wafer sort test services on all applicable Products produced for LSI or its Subsidiaries at the Gresham Facilities and on Products manufactured by a third party for LSI or its Subsidiaries and delivered by LSI or any of its Subsidiaries to SCI for processing by SCI. LSI will provide all necessary test programs to SCI in order to provide the Wafer sort test services.
2.3 Testing by LSI. SCI will allow LSIs test engineers access to and use of the test equipment at the Gresham Facilities during the day shift normal working hours, and such other days and/or times as LSI may reasonably request, under mutually agreeable arrangements and will provide test operator support for LSIs test engineers. The hourly rate for engineering test time will be the same as the rate for production testing. The Parties will establish a mutually agreeable schedule by which LSIs test engineers will have access to and use of such test equipment, updated monthly. If LSI requires additional test time that is not reflected in the applicable schedule, than LSI (in cooperation with SCI) will set priorities between delivery of Products and test time. If unscheduled test time impacts On-time Delivery, then any impacted delivery dates will be appropriately reset so that SCI will not be penalized for failing to deliver in accordance with the original delivery dates.

[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
2.4 In-Process Wafers. SCI will finish processing all Products that are in the process of being fabricated at the Gresham Facilities as of the Effective Date (In-Process Wafers) in accordance with LSIs schedule and requirements for such Products. All In-Process Wafers will remain LSIs property at all times while at the Gresham Facilities.
2.5 Metallization Processing. LSI will cause its supplier of RapidChip® Slices to deliver quantities thereof to SCI at the Gresham Facilities. SCI will accept deliveries of such RapidChip® Slices and hold them in safekeeping as consigned materials until Metallization Processing is ordered by LSI. Thereupon SCI will perform the Metallization Processing and other Services requested by LSI for RapidChip Products® in accordance with the applicable LSI specifications. In the event it is determined after SCI has commenced Metallization Processing of a Slice that such Slice was defective when received by SCI and SCI has properly performed the Metallization Processing and other Services ordered by LSI for such Slice, SCI shall be entitled to payment for the Metallization Processing and other Services performed by SCI.
2.6 Supported Technologies. At a minimum under this Agreement SCI will support and manufacture Products for LSI using the following technologies:
(a) Process Technologies. Subject to Section 14.2 below, for the Initial Term SCI will support the C9, G10, G11, G12, CMOS35, CMOS25, and CMOS18 process technologies and the Gflx Process Technology at the Gresham Facilities. In the event the full qualification of the Gflx Process Technology has not occurred as of the Effective Date, SCI will support the completion of such qualification in accordance with the requirements of LSIs qualification plan. A summary of LSIs Gflx qualification plan requirements is set forth as Attachment J hereto.
(b) Rapid Chip Manufacturing. Subject to Section 14.2 below, for the term of this Agreement SCI will support manufacture at the Gresham Facilities of RapidChip® Products using both the G12 process technology and the Gflx Process Technology, which includes the following obligations: pre-fabrication of the RapidChip® Slices and storage of RapidChip® Slices in inventory for further processing at a later date, storage of RapidChip® Slices fabricated using the Gflx Process Technology by a third party designated by LSI for subsequent Metallization Processing at the Gresham Facilities, and Metallization Processing of the RapidChip® Slices manufactured at the Gresham Facilities or by a such third party pursuant to expedited cycle times and fees as requested by LSI and agreed to by SCI.
(c) LVR. When requested by LSI, SCI will use low volume Reticles (LVR) for Wafer processing. Additionally:
(i) Non-RapidChip Products: Once a particular Product has an actual history volume totaling [*] for G12 and [*] for Gflx and a forecast of consistent reasonable ongoing volumes for the particular Product, then LSI shall provide a full volume Reticle set. The number of LVRs shall be limited to no more than the average for the [*] prior to the Effective Date.

[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
(ii) RapidChip Products: Both SCI and LSI recognize that RapidChip Products will require support of LVR Reticles for Wafer processing. SCI will continue to use LVR Reticles for such RapidChip Products until such time that LSI anticipates there will be consistent and adequate future volumes for any such RapidChip Product, at which time an HVR set will be purchased by LSI. Attachment B-1 has separate pricing for HVR (when used instead of LVR).
(d) ITAR Flow Procedures. Subject to Section 14.2 below, for the term of this Agreement SCI, at its cost, will support the ITAR process flow requirements and support LSIs military and aeronautical business (i.e., the manufacture of integrated circuits for military and aeronautical applications) at the Gresham Facilities.
(e) Experimental Requests. For the term of this Agreement, SCI will support LSIs requirements for skew lots, DOE and other engineering-related experimental requests by LSI. SCI will support special skews requested by LSI, including combined poly and implant for mixed signal and for opposite process corner comparison (e.g. strong N- /weak-P). The additional cycle time required for processing any such experimental requests shall be incrementally added to the committed cycle times as defined in Attachment C.
(f) New Designs. For the term of this Agreement, SCI will accept from LSI and its Subsidiaries Orders for Products based on new designs for prototype production and volume production to be manufactured using any of the process technologies available at the Gresham Facilities. As new Products are included in LSIs Requirements, the pricing for such Products will be based on the pricing for other Products manufactured using the applicable process technology set forth in Attachment B at the time Orders for such Products are placed. LSI may transfer Products, and the associated Reticles for such Products, from the third partys facility in Japan referred to in Section 2.1 above as new designs for manufacturing at the Gresham Facilities. Attachment E sets forth the applicable micro-capacity for Products using such transferred Reticles.
2.7 Second Source. If at any point during the Revenue Commitment Period LSI believes it needs a second source for any Products, LSI will notify SCI of such need and the Parties will discuss the matter in good faith.
2.8 Direct Relationship with Customer. LSI has relationships with certain ARO customers (including certain process flows and the [*]). SCI agrees to continue to support such relationships either by providing the Products and Services to LSI under this Agreement (in which case LSI will continue to have the direct customer relationship with the ARO customers) or until, as soon as reasonably practicable and subject to the agreement of each ARO customer, SCI takes direct customer responsibility for such customers.
3. PURCHASE REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Minimum. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that SCI fulfills all of its material obligations under this Agreement (including
7
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
its material obligations under Sections 2, 4, 7, and 8), LSI will ensure that it and its Subsidiaries collectively make a minimum amount of one hundred ninety-eight million, eight hundred thousand dollars ($198,800,000) of Qualified Purchases (the Total Minimum Purchase Amount or TMPA) during the Revenue Commitment Period. At the end of the Revenue Commitment Period, the TMPA will be deemed satisfied if LSI and its Subsidiaries have made an aggregate amount of Qualified Purchases at least equal to the TMPA. In addition, during the Revenue Commitment Period LSI will ensure that it and its Subsidiaries make Qualified Purchases in amounts at least equal to the quarterly minimums set forth in Attachment A, as such minimums may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2 (the Quarterly Minimum Purchase Amount or QMPA). All Qualified Purchases placed during a given Quarter will be totaled to determine if the applicable QMPA has been met. All Qualified Purchases made during the Revenue Commitment Period will be totaled to determine if the TMPA has been met. After the Revenue Commitment Period, SCI will continue to supply LSIs Requirements for Products and Services from the Gresham Facilities in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, LSI will no longer have any obligation to make a minimum amount of Qualified Purchases and the TPMA or QPMA will no longer apply.
3.2 Reconciliation of QMPA. At the end of each Quarter during the Revenue Commitment Period, LSI will provide SCI with a written report stating the actual amount of Qualified Purchases made by LSI and its Subsidiaries in that Quarter and the QMPA for that Quarter and any difference between the amount of Qualified Purchases in the applicable Quarter and the QMPA for that Quarter. If the initial and final Quarters are not complete Quarters, the applicable QMPA will be apportioned on the basis of a 13 week Quarter (e.g., if the QMPA for the second Quarter of 2006 is [*] and there are 10 weeks remaining in the second Quarter of 2006 when this Agreement is signed, the QMPA for the second Quarter of 2006 will be reduced by a factor of 10/13 from [*] to [*] and the difference [*] will become the QMPA for the first three weeks of Q2-08).
(a) Excess. If the amount of LSIs and its Subsidiaries Qualified Purchases during a given Quarter is greater than the QMPA for that Quarter, the amount by which the Qualified Purchases exceeds the applicable QMPA, but only up to [*] of that Quarters QMPA, will be carried over and added to the amount of Qualified Purchases made by LSI and its Subsidiaries in the next subsequent Quarter as if made in that Quarter and counted toward the QMPA for that Quarter. (See the example set forth in Attachment B-3.)
(b) Shortfall. If the amount of LSIs and its Subsidiaries Qualified Purchases during a given Quarter is less than the QMPA for that Quarter, LSI will pay to SCI, within 30 days after the end of the Quarter, an amount equal to the portion of the shortfall (if any) that is greater than [*] of that Quarters QMPA, and the remainder of the shortfall (up to [*] of that Quarters QMPA) will be added to the QPMA for the next Quarter, resulting in the QMPA for the next Quarter being equal to the amount of the QMPA set forth in Attachment A plus the amount of the shortfall up to [*] of the previous Quarters QMPA. (See the example set forth in Attachment B-3.)
(c) Reconciliation of TMPA. At the end of the Revenue Commitment Period or the end of the first subsequent Quarter thereafter in the event of a shortfall in
8
the last Quarter of the Revenue Commitment Period and the applicability of Section 3.2(b) above, the Parties will perform a final reconciliation of the sum of (i) LSIs and its Subsidiaries total amount of Qualified Purchases during the Revenue Commitment Period and (ii) the total amount of shortfall payments made (or, for the final Quarter, to be made) pursuant to Section 3.2(b) against the TMPA. Except with respect to the extent that LSIs obligation to fulfill any QMPA has been adjusted, deferred or excused pursuant to paragraph (d) below, if such sum, as may have been so adjusted, is less than the TMPA, then the difference will be paid by LSI to SCI within 30 days after the Parties complete such reconciliation.
(d) Adjustments to TMPA and QMPA. LSIs obligation to fulfill the TMPA and any QMPA may be adjusted, deferred or excused pursuant to circumstances as follows:
(i) In the event that during the Revenue Commitment Period, the On-Time Delivery date is not met by SCI, but LSIs customer will still accept a later delivery of the finished version of such Product, LSI, at its sole discretion, may reduce the QMPA for the Quarter in which the Product was to be delivered and increase the QMPA for the Quarter during the Revenue Commitment Period in which the Product is delivered to LSI by the applicable amount. In the event delivery to LSIs customer is delayed beyond the end of the Revenue Commitment Period, the reconciliation of the TMPA and applicable QMPA will include a reduction to such extent.
(ii) In the event that during the Revenue Commitment Period SCI would be more than two weeks late in making an On-Time Delivery (Late Delivery solely for purposes of this paragraph (d)) of any Product and the order for the finished version of such Product from LSIs customer has been cancelled, the QMPA will be reduced by the Late Delivery portion of LSIs Order and LSI will use commercially reasonable efforts to place other Orders for an equivalent amount within the Revenue Commitment Period or within two (2) years thereafter. In the event LSI has not placed an order for such equivalent amount before the end of the Revenue Commitment Period, the reconciliation of the TMPA and applicable QMPA will include a reduction to such extent.
(iii) In the event that LSI returns any Product to SCI due to the non-conformity of the Product for which LSI is entitled to a credit or a refund and LSIs customer for the finished version of such Product will accept a replacement finished version of such Product, the purchase price for such replacement Product will not be counted towards the QMPA or TMPA.
(iv) In the event that LSI returns any Product to SCI due to the non-conformity of the Product for which LSI receives a credit or a refund and LSIs customer for the finished version of such Product will not accept a replacement finished version of such Product, LSI will make commercially reasonable efforts to place other Orders for an equivalent amount of such credit or refund within the Revenue Commitment Period or within two (2) years thereafter. LSIs fulfillment of the applicable QMPA when such non-conforming Product was shipped will not be affected in any manner.

4. FORECASTS AND ORDERING
4.1 Forecasts. Beginning on the Effective Date and continuing thereafter on a monthly basis, LSI will provide SCI with a [*] rolling forecast by Wafer starts of LSIs Requirements by process technology for such period (the Forecast).
(a) The Forecast will be provided by Wednesday in the fourth week of every LSI fiscal month. Subject to LSIs rights to make certain adjustments the [*] of the Forecast will be fixed (Binding Forecast). During (i) the [*] of the Forecast LSI shall have the right to adjust the Binding Forecast amounts upwards or downwards by up to [*] of the total number of Wafer starts stated in the Binding Forecast for such [*]; (ii) the [*] of the Binding Forecast LSI shall have the right to adjust the Binding Forecast amounts upwards or downwards by up to [*] of the total number of Wafer starts stated in the Binding Forecast for such [*]; and (iii) the [*] of the Binding Forecast LSI shall have the right to adjust the Binding Forecast amounts upwards or downwards by up to [*] of the total number of Wafer starts stated in the Binding Forecast for such [*]; provided, however, LSI may not make any increases in the Forecast amounts that would exceed the micro-capacity constraints identified in Attachment E or the availability of resources and raw materials necessary to manufacture the Products and perform the Services.
(b) The [*] of the Forecast will not be binding on LSI, will be subject to adjustment at LSIs discretion, and will identify monthly demand for LSIs Requirements for planning purposes only. Once per Quarter the Parties will review the forecasted capacity loadings, and the availability of resources and raw materials to determine what, if any, additional capacity is available in excess of any previous Forecast amount.
(c) In no event does the exercise by LSI of its right to make any of the adjustments provided by (a) or (b) above to the Forecast relieve LSI from its obligations to meet the TMPA and applicable QMPA.
4.2 Process Technology Mix. In addition to LSIs right to increase or decrease the amounts of the Binding Forecast as described in Section 4.1, if LSI requests changes to the process technology mix (i.e., the quantity of Products to be manufactured using each distinct process technology) within the Binding Forecast period, SCI will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the requested changes, taking into consideration available capacity for the relevant process technology and availability of materials. Unless SCI agrees otherwise, the mix of process technologies used to meet LSIs Requirements set forth in the Forecasts will fall within minimum and maximum weekly start rates for each process technology to be agreed upon by the Parties during the forecasting process for Products, and in any event will not exceed the individual micro-capacities of the process technologies referred to in Section 4.4.
4.3 Product Mix. Attachment A, which sets forth LSIs initial estimates made as of the Effective Date regarding the mix of Products and Services to be ordered by LSI during the Revenue Commitment Period also reflects the Parties minimum assumptions regarding Wafer capacity for LSIs Requirements and the fulfillment of the applicable QMPA and TMPA by LSI. It is acknowledged that in order for LSI to fulfill
10
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
its QMPA and TMPA, additional Product run rates will be required, which will be ascertained pursuant to the Forecasts provided by LSI under Section 4.1. The estimates set out in Attachment A are not binding on LSI with respect to any subsequent Forecast or Order for the production of specific Products or Services. LSI has the right to make changes to this estimated mix of Products and Services when it places Orders, provided, however, LSI will remain obligated to fulfill the TMPA and applicable QMPA.
4.4 Capacity. During the Revenue Commitment Period, SCI will ensure that sufficient capacity at the Gresham Facilities is reserved and available at all times to meet LSIs Requirements. After the Revenue Commitment Period, the Parties will meet on a Quarterly basis to determine the maximum capacity of the Gresham Facilities that will be allocated to LSI; provided, however, that SCI will make commercially reasonable efforts to allocate (taking into account SCIs other capacity needs at that time on a pari passu basis) maximum capacity to LSI that is at least [*] of the average weekly Wafer start capacity actually used by LSI for the Quarter having the highest number of Orders for Wafer starts submitted by LSI out of the previous [*]. (See the example set forth in Attachment B-3.) The process technologies and related mix thereof set forth in an Order will take into consideration, and not exceed, the capacity allocated to LSI as so agreed to by both Parties from time to time, as well as individual micro-capacities of the process technologies and all other capacity limitations agreed to by the Parties in writing. Attachment E sets forth the process technology micro-capacities at the Gresham Facilities as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will limit LSIs right to submit Orders for Products that have been discontinued pursuant to Section 14.2. If LSI requests capacity increases that would require additional capital expenditures by SCI, then the Parties will discuss in good faith options for putting in place the additional capacity (e.g., LSI may consign equipment to SCI or if LSI purchases the equipment, then SCI will rebate the depreciation expense (using LSIs applicable useful life) through a reduction to the applicable Wafer or Die price as set forth in Attachment B-1). In the event additional employees would be required to support production of additional LSI demand, SCI will exercise its reasonable best efforts to hire and employ such additional employees to support the increased demand.
4.5 Minimum Supply of Raw Materials. SCI will maintain adequate inventories of raw materials in order to fulfill the volumes as set forth in the Binding Forecasts provided by LSI. SCI will have the right to invoice LSI for SCIs actual purchase cost for any raw substrates that are unique to LSIs specifications purchased by SCI against the Binding Forecasts, which are not required to meet LSIs actual Orders and are not used within [*] of delivery of the substrates to SCI. The foregoing states LSIs entire obligation and SCIs entire remedy with respect to excess raw materials purchased by SCI if LSI fails to place Orders for Products or Services sufficient to meet the Binding Forecast. If conditions occur that will require SCI to enter into long term take or pay type arrangements with suppliers to secure the supply of raw materials, then the Parties will discuss and resolve in good faith the allocation of obligations and risk under such arrangements.
4.6 Purchase Orders. LSI will submit to SCI weekly purchase order releases containing Die demand or Wafer demand instructions that identify the Products, the
11
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
quantity of Products and the applicable process technologies for such Products that are to be shipped to LSI, showing the required shipment date, the address for delivery of the completed Products, and any other information applicable to the Products (each such release, an Order). All Orders meeting the requirements of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 and consistent with the Binding Forecast and agreed upon cycle times shall be accepted by SCI and confirmed to LSI within [*]. For all Products involving RapidChip® Slices to be delivered to the Gresham Facilities, SCI cannot commit to a delivery date unless such RapidChip® Slices are on-hand or a projected delivery date for the requisite RapidChip® Slices to the Gresham Facility has been provided. The On-Time Delivery date for any such Product will be reset to the extent the RapidChip® Slices are received later than the projected delivery date to the Gresham Facility. All other Orders will be deemed accepted by SCI unless LSI receives a written notice of rejection (stating the reason or reasons for such rejection) within [*] after LSI submitted the Order to SCI. LSIs Subsidiaries will have the right to submit Orders under this Agreement and all such Orders will be counted as if placed by LSI for the purposes of the Qualified Purchases, Binding Forecasts, Forecasts, and all other purchase requirements of LSI. LSI represents that it has the authority to cause its Subsidiaries to place Orders with SCI under this Agreement and to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement when placing Orders with SCI, and LSI will cause its Subsidiaries to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement when placing Orders with SCI. LSI will order Products in [*] Wafer lot sizes. Die scheduling will be lot sized by LSI prior to placing Orders.
(a) Changes. LSI may, from time to time after submission of an Order, provide written notice to SCI proposing changes to the applicable Order (a Change Proposal). Following delivery and receipt of the Change Proposal, the Parties will promptly discuss appropriate modifications to the applicable Order (including any changes in the delivery or production schedule or to the pricing for the Products and Services that are the subject of the Change Proposal). If the Change Proposal postpones delivery of Products or Services identified in the Order and SCI has not begun of the manufacture of the applicable Products or performance of the Services, such Change Proposal will be deemed accepted by the Parties and SCI will implement the Change Proposal. If the Change Proposal postpones delivery of Products or Services identified in the Order and SCI has begun manufacture of the applicable Products or performance of the Services, such Change Proposal will be deemed accepted by the Parties and SCI will continue manufacture of the Products or performance of the Services and with respect to the Products, upon completion will hold the completed Products and completed work product with respect to the Services in inventory until the requested delivery date. Similarly, if a Change Proposal requests partial manufacture of a Product, so long as SCI has not manufactured the Product past the point specified in the Change Proposal, such Change Proposal will be deemed accepted by the Parties and SCI will complete partial manufacture of a Product and hold the Product in inventory until needed by LSI. If SCI is required to hold any Products such hold will not exceed [*] or available storage capacity limitations. After [*], SCI will request instructions from LSI (i) to complete production of such Products and ship them as finished Products, (ii) to ship such Products to LSI in their partially processed condition or (iii) to cancel further production of such Products. SCI shall perform in accordance with LSIs instructions and thereafter invoice LSI for the appropriate Wafer price or the charge for partial processing or cancellation as appropriate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
12
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
(b) Cancellation. LSI may cancel any Order or a portion thereof without charge, to the extent that the portion being cancelled has not been started. LSI may cancel any Order or portion thereof that has been started, but will be required to pay a cancellation charge to SCI reflecting the percentage of manufacturing completion (see Attachment B-2) of the Products being cancelled multiplied by the applicable price. Any such cancellation charges during the [*] of this Agreement will be credited towards LSIs fulfillment of the TMPA and applicable QMPA when such cancellation charges occur.
4.7 No Adjustment for Defective Products. If LSI cancels all or any part of an Order or returns any Products as permitted under Section 6.1, Section 11.2(c), or Section 15.9, the amount of such cancelled Order or returned Products will be counted toward LSIs fulfillment of the TMPA, the applicable QMPA, and the applicable Binding Forecast.
5. PRICING; PAYMENT; AND DELIVERY
5.1 Product Pricing. Attachment B-1 to this Agreement sets forth the prices for the Wafers based on the applicable process technologies used to manufacture the Product and the prices for the process adders for optional processing steps. The date applicable to such pricing shall be based on the LSI requested delivery date or the actual delivery date, whichever is later. In addition:
(a) For Products for which [*] Wafers within the prior [*] of an Order being placed have been manufactured on a stable process platform, statistical post processing (SPP) algorithm (if applicable), and sort test program, Die based pricing will be used. An initial list of Products is set forth in Attachment B-6. Such Die based pricing will be determined using the sort yield, or post SPP yields if applicable, for such Product of the most [*] prior to when the Product is to be manufactured as applied to the applicable Wafer pricing for such Product set forth in Attachment B-1. The applicable Die or Wafer pricing to which such post SPP yield data is applied will be pricing applicable to the Quarter in which delivery of the Product to LSI is made. The NDPW used for Die based pricing will be based on section 5.2 below. For Products with [*] Wafers produced, Wafer based pricing will be used until such time that [*] Wafers will have been produced, and thereafter subsequent Orders will be based on Die based pricing. These prices apply to all of LSIs purchases of the applicable Products made during the Revenue Commitment Period. After the Revenue Commitment Period, the Parties will meet on a quarterly basis to review the pricing and to negotiate in good faith, as the case may be, price decreases, as are justified by reference to external Wafer pricing market data (e.g. Selantek), or price increases, as are justified based on unforeseen and substantial cost increases then being generally experienced by semiconductor manufacturers to the extent such cost increases are also reflected in such external market data.
(b) For Products for which LSI requires bumping, Wafer prices as set forth in Attachment B-1 will be used for such Products; provided, however, for bumped Wafer Products for which [*] Wafers have been manufactured, if the actual Die yields for
13
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
such Products, (after bump and sort yield or SPP as applicable) is lower than the expected NDPW due to a Wafer processing cause, LSI shall be entitled to a credit for the shortfall in the actual NDPW as compared to the expected NDPW. Similarly, for bumped Wafer Products for which [*] wafers have been manufactured, if the actual Die yields for such Products (after bump and sort yield or SPP as applicable) is higher than the expected NDPW, SCI shall be entitled to invoice LSI for the excess in the actual NDPW as compared to the expected NDPW.
(c) If the actual number of Die manufactured (for Die Orders) or Wafers manufactured (for Wafer Orders) is greater than the actual quantity LSI ordered, SCI will only ship to LSI the number of Products equal to the nearest half or full lot size ordered by rounding up.
(d) If the actual number of Die manufactured (for Die Orders) or Wafers manufactured (for Wafers Orders) is less than the actual quantity LSI ordered, SCI shall promptly notify LSI of such fact. LSI, at its sole discretion, may cancel such Order to the extent of such quantity that would not be delivered in a timely manner and in the event that LSIs cancellation made pursuant to Section 11.2, the Wafer price amount(s) applicable to such cancelled Order quantity will be deemed to be Qualified Purchases. In the event LSI still desires delivery of the full quantity per the Order to be made, SCI will promptly start the appropriate quantity of Wafers for delivery of such Die or Wafer shortfall and expedite the production and delivery of such Wafers to LSI without additional charges.
5.2 Calculation of Product Pricing
(a) Setting NDPW. Prices for the Products are based on the actual number of Wafers that satisfy post SPP yield to be agreed upon by the Parties. When [*] Wafers of a Product that satisfy such agreed-upon post SPP yield and have been produced at the Gresham Facilities (including Wafers produced prior to the Effective Date), a Net Die per Wafer or NDPW yield factor will be established by the Parties based on the average post SPP yield of the applicable Product for the [*] preceding the date the NDPW yield factor is being established. The NDPW yield factor for those Products that as of the Effective Date have had [*] Wafers produced at the Gresham Facilities is set forth in Attachment B. When the [*] Wafers of additional Products have been manufactured, NDPW yield factor for such additional Products will be established and agreed upon by the Parties; Attachment B will be updated accordingly.
(b) Price per Good Die. When the NDPW yield factor is established for a Product, the price for each good Die will be determined based upon a formula. The Parties will review and recalculate the NDPW yield factors and the good Die prices for each applicable Product once per Quarter. The following Products, [*], [*] and [*], including any revisions thereof, are an [*]. These Products will be priced based on the post SPP NDPW as of the Effective Date. Once these [*] are complete and LSIs [*] therefor has [*] for these Products, the NDPW will be immediately adjusted based on the [*] Wafers and the Die pricing will be adjusted accordingly. LSI will [*] of the new Die price on these Products. The Parties will review and recalculate the NDPW yield factor and the Die price for all other Products once per quarter. If the NDPW yield factor for a
14
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
Product increases as a result of any such quarterly review, a revised price per good Die will promptly be determined for such Product based upon such formula and applied as the new price for all applicable Wafer starts made thereafter. If the increase in the NDPW yield factor at any such review is [*], the revised price per good Die will be calculated so that [*] of the price decrease is shared with SCI (i.e., the price per good Die paid by LSI will be decreased by [*] of the amount it would have decreased based on upon the pricing formula). NDPW yield factor decreases will not result in a price reduction. (See the example set forth in Attachment B-3.)
(c) Changes in Sort Test Programs or SPP Algorithms. Pricing will be adjusted as follows: (i) if LSI makes changes to the sort test program or SPP algorithm for test coverage that results in a reduction in NDPW unrelated to existing manufacturing or process methodologies, the Die pricing will be adjusted accordingly, (ii) if LSI makes changes to the sort test program or SPP algorithm due to customer requirements that result in a reduction in NDPW that is unrelated to existing manufacturing or process methodologies, the Die pricing will be adjusted accordingly, or (iii) if LSI makes changes to the sort test program or SPP algorithm that results in NDPW as a result of changes made to the existing process by SCI after the Effective Date or manufacturing or workmanship issues unrelated to the process as defined on the Effective Date, the Die pricing will not be adjusted. In all cases, SCI will work with LSI to improve yields and take actions to return the yield back to the original NDPW.
(d) Changes in Test Times. If LSI makes any change in a test program that increases or decreases the test times to sort a Product, the applicable Die price will be adjusted upwards or downwards on all Products to which such changed test time is applied.
(e) Low Volume Production. Once volume for any given technology (e.g., C9, G10, G11, G12 or Gflx) drops below [*] Wafers per [*], all Products running on that technology shall revert Wafer pricing.
(f) Die Pricing. If at any time during this Agreement, SCI determines that the administrative time and costs associated with maintaining Die pricing is unduly burdensome, it will notify LSI and the Parties will negotiate a resolution in good faith.
5.3 Wafer Sort Test Services. SCI will perform Wafer sort test services and will provide access to LSI test engineers to the test equipment for the rate per hour of test equipment time for such services set forth in Attachment B-3. If LSI requires additional test time that is not reflected in the schedule agreed to by the Parties, then LSI (in cooperation with SCI) will set priorities between delivery of Products and test time. If unscheduled test time required by LSI impacts On-time Delivery then any impacted delivery dates will be reset so that SCI will not be penalized for failing to deliver in accordance with the original delivery dates.
5.4 In-Process Wafer Pricing. Pricing for In-Process Wafer processing will be based on the type of process and the degree of completion of the Wafer as of the Effective Date. The prices for the various amounts of Wafer processing according to each process technology for the In-Process Wafers are set forth in Attachments B-1 and B-2.

5.5 Rapid Chip Product Pricing. Pricing for manufacture and processing of RapidChip® Products will be based on the type of process and the degree of processing of the Product that SCI will perform. The prices for the various amounts of Wafer processing according to each process technology for RapidChip® Products are set forth in Attachment B-1.
5.6 Other Fees
(a) Expedited Processing (Hot Lots and Super Hot Lots). LSI will pay SCI the fees set forth on Attachment B-3 for the corresponding expedited processing. To the extent LSI is charged any amounts for expedited partial processing of Products, such amounts will be prorated over the number of processing moves that receive expedited treatment. Expedite fees shall not be charged for any such lot that is not delivered by the SCI committed expedited delivery date.
(b) Prototypes. LSI will be charged the pricing premium set forth on Attachment B-3 for any prototype products that LSI requests SCI to manufacture.
(c) Small Lots. LSI has the right to place Small Lot Orders on average over the quarter for [*] of the production lots of Products with a maximum of [*] of production lots started in any given week. For anything above these percentages, LSI will pay a [*] premium over the standard prices paid to SCI for such Products.
(d) A Small Lot is a production lot having less than [*] Wafers.
(e) Reticles. If LSI obtains any Reticles from SCI under this Agreement, any fees paid by LSI for such Reticles will include all fees for engineering work related to preparation of the Reticles and all costs of the initial mask preparation. LSI will own all such Reticles, but SCI will retain custody of and the responsibility for safekeeping for such Reticles during the period they are available for use at the Gresham Facilities.
(f) Consumables. LSI will provide to SCI all probe cards and load boards necessary for SCI to manufacture the Products; provided that both Parties agree that all such probe cards and load boards will remain LSIs property and the probe cards and load boards for Products manufactured at the Gresham Facilities as of the Effective Date are already located at the Gresham Facilities. LSI will be responsible for maintenance and replacement costs for all probe cards used by SCI. Maintenance costs for probe cards will be billed to LSI at [*]. Any other consumables used by SCI in performance of its obligations under this Agreement will be the sole responsibility of SCI, and LSI will not owe SCI any separate amounts for such consumables. SCI will repair or replace any such items that are damaged, lost or otherwise rendered unusable due to any act or omission by SCI while they are in SCIs custody or control.
16

(g) Engineering Maintenance Services. Engineering time for engineering maintenance on Retained Equipment, if requested by LSI, will be charged per Attachment B-3.
(h) Transition Services. Transition Services requested by LSI pursuant to Section 14.4 will be provided by SCI at a [*]. LSI will also reimburse SCI for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by SCI in providing such Transition Services, subject to LSIs prior approval of such costs.
(i) Invoicing and Payment Terms. SCI will submit to LSI invoices for payment of applicable prices or fees for Products and Services after delivery of the applicable Products to LSI or completion of the applicable Services. LSI will pay all undisputed amounts set forth in each properly delivered invoice [*] from the date of the invoice. LSI will promptly provide to SCI notice of any disputed payments and the Parties will negotiate promptly and in good faith to resolve the issue. Payments will be made by wire transfer to the account specified in Attachment G. All payments will be made in U.S. dollars. Until LSI has received full payment of all amounts due under the Final Installment Payment, LSI shall have and at its discretion may exercise a right to offset any and all amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement against payment due to LSI pursuant to the Final Installment Payment at any time after the Final Installment Payment, in whole or in part, has become due but remains unpaid.
5.7 Taxes. The prices for the Products and Services are exclusive of sales tax, use tax, value added tax, or other similar tax or duty imposed by any government authority (collectively, Taxes). If any such Taxes are imposed in connection with the sale or transfer of Products to LSI or any of its Subsidiaries by SCI hereunder, LSI shall bear the cost of such Taxes provided that the amount of such Taxes is properly invoiced to LSI along with the price of the Products in question. The Parties will cooperate in the recovery of any such Taxes paid and in the reduction of Taxes payable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if LSI provides SCI with a valid resellers tax exemption certificate for particular Products, SCI will not include any Taxes in its invoices for such Products. In no event will LSI be liable for any taxes based on SCIs net income or profits.
5.8 Inventory. If an Order specifies or LSI requests that SCI store completed or in-process Products in inventory, SCI will keep such Products in an appropriately controlled environment for such Products. SCI shall not be required to provide any such storage in excess of the available storage capacity existing at the Effective Date. Such storage will be at no additional cost to LSI. SCI will retain risk of loss and title to all Products held in inventory by SCI, except as may be otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. SCI will invoice LSI for in-process Products held in inventory by SCI only after SCI completes manufacture of the Products and delivers the Products to LSI. LSI will pay such invoices as provided in Section 5.7.
5.9 Delivery. SCI will arrange shipment of the Products to the LSI or the LSI customer facility designated in the Order on the delivery date specified in the Order. All shipments by SCI will be made F.O.B. the Gresham Facilities. SCI will follow LSIs standard packaging, shipping, handling, and insurance procedures for shipment of the
17
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
Products. Risk of loss and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, title to the Products will pass to LSI (or its Subsidiary) upon delivery of the Products to the common carrier at the Gresham Facilities. LSI will have the right to cancel an Order to the extent of applicable Products that are not shipped within the On-Time Delivery requirements; provided, however, in the event that LSIs cancellation is made pursuant to Section 11.2, the Wafer price amount(s) applicable to such cancelled Order quantity will be deemed to be Qualified Purchases. In addition, SCI will promptly reimburse LSI for any reasonable expedite charges, late charges, or similar costs or expenses incurred by LSI as a result of SCIs failure to meet the On-Time Delivery requirements for any Product, up to a total amount of [*] per Wafer Lot.
5.10 MRB. SCI will manage the MRB process on lots that are placed on any type of factory hold for a process or design related reason. LSI will cooperate with SCI for prompt resolution of the reason such lots were placed on hold. SCI will make commercially reasonable efforts to not allow the distribution of number of MRB lots on sort hold and the average time to resolve them to exceed the results achieved by LSI at the Gresham Facilities for the [*]. The distribution of MRB lots achieved by LSI at the Gresham Facilities in the [*] shall be considered the Baseline Distribution. To the extent that SCI achieves or exceeds the Baseline Distribution, such MRB lots on sort hold will not be counted in the computation of the On-Time Delivery performance. If the distribution of number of MRB lots on sort hold and the average time are greater than the Baseline Distribution, to the extent the distribution of the quantity of MRB lots on sort hold exceeds the Baseline Distribution, the cycle time that is outside of the Baseline Distribution for such MRB lots will be counted in the computation of the On-Time Delivery performance. Any lot that becomes an MRB lot on hold during Wafer processing (i.e. prior to sort) lot will be counted in the DPML calculation. Lots exempt in this calculation are any lots placed on hold by LSI, including products that are waiting for reticles due to a design change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Wafer lot that (i) is in WIP and is an MRB lot as of the Effective Date or (ii) becomes an MRB lot after the Effective Date due to processing that occurred prior to the Effective Date, will not be counted in the DPML calculation or distribution.
6. SCRAP LIMITS
6.1 Minimum Die Yield. If the yield or defect density of the Wafers and/or any Wafer Lot for any Product are at or below the Minimum Die Yield (as defined in Attachment F) for such Product, LSI will have the right to reject the Wafers and/or the entire Wafer Lot, at no cost to LSI. The Minimum Die Yield for each Product will be initially calculated when [*] production Wafers for such Product have been manufactured at the Gresham Facilities (including Wafers manufactured prior to the Effective Date) and will be recalculated every [*] thereafter using the data from the just-ended [*] period; provided however, that no reduction in the Minimum Die Yield for a Product will be permitted. Attachment F sets forth the Minimum Die Yield for each Product for which [*] or more production Wafers have been manufactured at the Gresham Facilities as of the Effective Date.
6.2 Rejection of Products. If LSI or one of its Subsidiaries rejects any Products as provided in Section 6.1, SCI will promptly give LSI a full credit for the
18
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
amounts paid by LSI for such rejected Products via a credit memo for such rejected Products, including the sort charge value for such rejected Products. If LSIs expected payments to SCI within the [*] would not be fully offset by the credit, at LSIs option, LSI will have the right to require a cash refund equal to the unused amount of the credit.
6.3 Disposal of Scrap. SCI will properly dispose of all Wafers and Wafer Lots rejected by LSI and all other scrap in compliance with all applicable laws in order to prevent any unauthorized sale and environmental hazards; provided, however, that SCI will give LSI access as requested by LSI to any scrap material for failure analysis or other engineering purposes.
7. CYCLE TIME REQUIREMENTS
7.1 Cycle Times. SCI will record and report to LSI cycle times for manufacture and supply of the Products in industry-standard days per masking layer (DPML) by process technology. Promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties will establish cycle times for all process technologies by referencing the cycle times for the applicable Products obtained at the Gresham Facilities during the [*] period ending on the Effective Date. (Attachment C sets forth an example of cycle times.) SCI will measure DPML at the [*] percentile level and not as an average. If for any Product the DPML falls above the [*] percentile level for any measurement period or if during any measurement period there is reasonable evidence to indicate the DPML will be above the [*] percentile level when the relevant measurement for the period is made, SCI will promptly initiate such corrective actions, in coordination with LSI, as LSI reasonably deems appropriate.
7.2 Expedited Production. SCI will allocate to LSI up to [*] Hot Lots and [*] Super Hot Lots in the Gresham Facilities running concurrently at any time. As each Hot Lot or Super Hot Lot, as the case may be, is completed, the available allocated type of Lot will be available to LSI. [*] The subsequent negotiated amounts shall not fall below the Hot Lots or Super Hot Lot percentage of total production as reflected in the allocation for the first half of 2006. SCI will make commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any additional Hot Lots or Super Hot Lots requested by LSI from time to time. LSI will have the right, in its discretion, to have SCI perform expedited processing for any or all of the process steps in the production of a Wafer Lot.
7.3 Low Running Technologies. Once volumes for any given technology (e.g., C9, C10, G11, G12 or Gflx) falls below [*] Wafers per [*], the applicable cycle time requirement the Parties will mutually agree in good faith to a relaxed DPML.
7.4 [*] Services. For some period of time under this Agreement, [*] services required to complete the processing of the Products may be performed by [*]. The Parties agree that SCI will be responsible for managing the day to day relationship with [*]. Provided SCI has properly performed such activities, SCI will not be responsible for any failure to meet its obligations under this Agreement to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of [*] If an issue occurs with [*] performance, the Parties agree to discuss in good faith a resolution of the issue.

(d) The work remaining to do with the [*], the resources required, and the cost and the timeline of the [*].
8.3 Reporting. SCI will maintain adequate records and adequate systems to generate all reports and track all data required by LSI. In addition, at a minimum, SCI will give LSI direct systems access to the following data relating to the Products ordered by LSI:
(a) process yield data (fab line yield);
(b) real time access to the work in process (WIP) (WIP status by stage, location, quantities, lot number part number and ship dates), substantially similar to what Gresham provides as of the Effective Date;
(c) statistical data (data result type from all tester types of sort, yield maps e-test data and metrology data);
(d) process records (for Lots manufactured for LSI), including in-line inspection data, process travelers and any data, including traceability data, related to the process used for manufacture of LSIs Products; and
(e) any and all data and reporting statistics required by LSIs customers on LSI Products. LSI agrees to make all commercially reasonable efforts to work with its customers to limit the scope of such requests to those reasonably obtainable.
The Parties agree that such direct systems access for LSI data will be replaced by My Fab View (including number of masking steps left for a particular lot to completion of Wafer processing) and direct access for Product engineering information will continue to be provided through the YDS system.
8.4 Testing by LSI. When LSI receives Products to sort at a location other than the Gresham Facilities, LSI will test the Products according to the applicable Specifications. LSI will provide SCI with LSIs testing information derived from testing such Products, including the number of good Die, the yield and the defect density for such Products. LSI will report such testing information to SCI [*] after conclusion of LSIs testing. If LSIs test results reveal defects that cause LSI to reject any Products, LSI and SCI will cooperate to determine the reason for the defects and resolve the defects in any future Products. LSI has the right to place, access (both directly and remotely), and use a subcontractor technical network server on the test floor of the Gresham Facilities to transfer tester programs and data from testers from SCIs systems to LSIs or LSIs designated subcontractors off-site locations. In connection with this server, LSI will have the right to set up and maintain, at LSIs expense, a communications link to LSIs off-site locations from the test floor for uploading Wafer sort yield data on the Products that are tested at the Gresham Facilities.

LSI will update such programs as and when necessary and will promptly provide all such updated programs to SCI. Prior to the commencement of any Wafer sort test services, SCI will verify that it is using the most recent version of the applicable test program. Changes that do not change the sort yield or SPP (if applicable) or the test times, will not require approval from SCI. For all other test program changes, the Parties will define a control process for releasing changes to production.
8.7 Audit and Inspection. Upon reasonable prior written notice from LSI, SCI will allow LSI, its representatives, and/or LSIs customers reasonable access during normal business hours to the Gresham Facilities to audit and inspect the Gresham Facilities (including the equipment), to confirm compliance by SCI with the terms of this Agreement, LSIs quality requirements, and LSIs customers quality requirements. In addition, SCI will allow LSI and LSIs customers reasonable access to the Gresham Facilities to address any performance issues.

This warranty extends to LSIs Subsidiaries. SCI will not accept warranty claims directly from LSIs customers or users of such customers Products.
(b) Services. SCI warrants that the Services will be performed in a professional and timely manner, in conformance with all applicable processes and Specifications. If any of the Services do not comply with this warranty, upon request of LSI or its Subsidiaries, SCI will promptly reperform the Services such that they do conform, at no additional cost or expense to LSI or its Subsidiaries.
11.2 Reliability Risk / Epidemic Failures. In the event a defect in material or workmanship or failure to meet Specifications is discovered in any Product, including any defect that is not identified by the requisite Product test screens, sort or final testing, and such defect would indicate an unacceptable reliability risk to the performance or expected life of such Product, the Parties will promptly cooperate by doing a failure analysis to ascertain the root cause for such defect. SCI will make all commercially reasonable efforts to implement appropriate manufacturing changes to prevent the reoccurrence of any such defects. For the purposes of this Agreement, Epidemic Failure will be deemed to have occurred if more than [*] of any Wafer Lot, shipment, or Order should fail in substantially the same manner. In the case of Epidemic Failure, SCI and LSI will promptly cooperate to resolve the Epidemic Failure and implement the following procedure:
(a) Notice. Within five (5) Business Days after learning of such Epidemic Failure or receipt of notice thereof from LSI, SCI will give LSI an initial written response indicating its plan for diagnosing the problem.
(b) Solution. SCI will exert all commercially reasonable efforts to diagnose the problem and plan a permanent solution and, if necessary, a work-around for temporary use until the solution is implemented. If requested by SCI, LSI will provide reasonable technical assistance to SCI to assist in determining the cause and appropriate corrective actions for the Epidemic Failure. SCI will promptly reimburse LSI for LSIs reasonable costs associated with providing such assistance. SCI and LSI will mutually agree on a plan to resolve the Epidemic Failure.
(c) Effect on Products. LSI and its Subsidiaries will have the option to refuse delivery of affected Products, cancel any outstanding Orders for the affected Product, and/or return for a cash refund all defective Products and any Products that may be susceptible to the Epidemic Failure. In addition, to the extent the Products still exist as stand-alone components, LSI may return to SCI all defective Products and any Products that may be susceptible to the same failure. The amounts for Products paid or that would have been paid by LSI (or a Subsidiary of LSI) pursuant to an Order for which delivery is refused or the Order is cancelled by LSI (or its Subsidiary) pursuant to this Section 11.2 will be deemed to be Qualified Purchases. LSI will use commercially reasonable efforts to place other Orders for other Products to an equivalent purchase price amount within the Revenue Commitment Period [*].

[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
(d) Costs Relating to Epidemic Failure. SCI will be responsible for all costs incurred in rectifying any Epidemic Failure including for any solutions, recovery plans, recalls, field replacements, and engineering changes.
11.3 Persistent Performance Problems. If at any time LSI believes problems regarding yield, cycle time, defect density, or other performance metrics relating to the Products are persistent or are not being satisfactorily resolved by SCI, LSI will have the right to escalate such issues to SCI senior management for resolution and SCI will promptly cooperate with LSI to resolve such issues.
11.4 Disclaimer of Warranties. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION 11 ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE SERVICES AND THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
12. INDEMNIFICATION
12.1 By LSI. LSI will indemnify and hold harmless SCI and its Subsidiaries from any and all third party claims or suits brought against SCI or any of its Subsidiaries alleging that the manufacture of or sale to LSI or its Subsidiaries of Products, or the provision of Services to LSI or its Subsidiaries, by SCI or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third partys Proprietary Rights, to the extent that such infringement or misappropriation results from either (a) the compliance by SCI or its Subsidiaries with LSIs specifications as set forth in the Licensed Materials, or (b) the use by SCI or its Subsidiaries of the same equipment, materials, manufacturing methods, and process technologies as those used by LSI or its Subsidiaries at the Gresham Facilities immediately prior to the Closing (provided that, with respect to any alleged infringement or misappropriation that occurs [*], SCI must be able to produce pre-existing documentation clearly showing that the equipment, materials, manufacturing methods, and process technologies in question are in fact the same as those used by LSI or its Subsidiaries at the Gresham Facilities immediately prior to the Closing) (LSI-Related Claims). LSI will defend at its own expense any action or proceeding against SCI or its Subsidiaries based on such LSI-Related Claims and will pay those costs and damages that are specifically attributable to such LSI-Related Claims that are finally awarded against SCI or its Subsidiaries or agreed to a monetary settlement of such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LSI will have no obligation under this Section 12.1 or otherwise with respect to any infringement or misappropriation claim based upon (i) a deviation by SCI or its Subsidiaries from any LSI specification set forth in the Licensed Materials to the extent that such deviation results in the alleged infringement or misappropriation, or (ii) compliance with any LSI specification set forth in the Licensed Materials to the extent there was a non-infringing and commercially reasonable way to implement such specification, after LSI shall have notified SCI in writing pursuant to Section 15.6 of this Agreement of such non-infringing way and SCI had a reasonable opportunity to implement such specification. This Section 12.1 states
26
LSIs entire liability and SCIs sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for any infringement or misappropriation claims relating to any Product or Service, any LSI specification, any Licensed Material, or any other information provided by LSI.
12.2 By SCI. SCI will indemnify and hold harmless LSI and its Subsidiaries from any and all third party claims or suits brought against LSI or any of its Subsidiaries (a) alleging that the manufacture of or sale to LSI or its Subsidiaries of Products, or the provision of Services to LSI or its Subsidiaries, by SCI or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement infringes or misappropriates a third partys Proprietary Rights, to the extent that the alleged infringement or misappropriation results from (i) a deviation by SCI or its Subsidiaries from any LSI specification set forth in the Licensed Materials (ii) compliance with any LSI specification set forth in the Licensed Materials to the extent there was a non-infringing and commercially reasonable way to implement such specification, after LSI shall have notified SCI in writing pursuant to Section 15.6 of this Agreement of such non-infringing way and SCI had a reasonable opportunity to implement such specification., or (iii) the use by SCI or its Subsidiaries of equipment, materials, manufacturing methods, or process technologies that are not the same as those used by LSI or its Subsidiaries at the Gresham Facilities immediately prior to the Closing (except for changes made to any of the foregoing in this clause (iii) in compliance with Section 8.5 above, and, provided that, with respect to any alleged infringement or misappropriation that occurs more than two years after the Closing Date, it will be presumed, unless SCI can produce pre-existing documentation, including by reference to documentation covered by Section 8.5 above, clearly showing otherwise, that the equipment, materials, manufacturing methods, or process technologies in question were not the same as those used by LSI or its Subsidiaries at the Gresham Facilities immediately prior to the Closing), or (b) arising from or relating to any personal injury or death, or property damage, to the extent arising from any actual or alleged defects in or malfunction of the Products due to their manufacturing by SCI (collectively, the SCI-Related Claims). SCI will defend at its own expense any action or proceeding based on such SCI-Related claims and will pay those costs and damages that are specifically attributable to such SCI-Related claims that are finally awarded against LSI or any of its Subsidiaries or agreed to in a monetary settlement of such action or proceeding.
12.3 Procedures. As soon as an indemnified Party receives notice or otherwise obtains knowledge of any third-party claim that may give rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the indemnified Party will promptly provide the indemnifying Party with written notice describing the third-party claim. The indemnifying Party will have the right, at its election and at its sole expense, to assume the defense of the third-party claim with its own counsel. If the indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the third-party claim, then the indemnifying Partys obligations under Section 12.1 or 12.2 above (as applicable) are subject to the conditions that the indemnified Party (and its applicable Subsidiaries and, in the case of SCI, ON):
(a) give the indemnifying Party access to all information in the indemnified Partys control that are reasonably relevant to the third-party claim (except in instances where providing such access could destroy the attorney-client privilege with respect to such information);
27
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
(b) not admit any liability with respect to the third-party claim;
(c) allow the indemnifying Party to control the defense and settlement of the claim, and
(d) cooperate with the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Partys reasonable request and expense, in defending or settling the claim.
The indemnifying Party will have the exclusive right to settle, compromise, or adjust the indemnified claim with the prior written consent of the indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). If the indemnifying Party elects not to assume control of the defense of the third-party claim, then the indemnified Party will defend such third-party claim using counsel of its choice and may settle, compromise, or adjust such third-party claim on such terms as the indemnified Party may consider appropriate without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party. In the event that the indemnifying Party elects not to assume control of the defense of the third party claim, then the indemnifying Party shall be responsible for all costs incurred and damages paid by the indemnified Party as a result of the third party claim. The indemnifying Party will be relieved of its obligations under this Section 12 as a result of the indemnified Partys failure to give such notice or provide such cooperation only if and to the extent that such failure prejudices the indemnifying Partys ability to perform its obligations above.
13. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGES ARISING FROM A BREACH OF SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY) AND EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTYS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 12 (INDEMNIFICATION), IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST DATA AND LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UPON WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR BREACHES OF SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY) AND EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTYS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 12 (INDEMNIFICATION), EACH PARTYS TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED [*] DURING THE [*] PERIOD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND [*] UNDER THE [*] PERIOD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (THE CAP). THE APPLICABLE LIABILITY CAP FOR A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE PERIOD WHEN THE FIRST PRODUCT(S) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED WERE PRODUCED. AFTER THE FIRST [*] OF THE [*] EITHER PARTY MAY PROPOSE A DIFFERENT CAP BASED UPON THE EXPECTED PURCHASE AND SALES VOLUMES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FROM THAT POINT ONWARD AND THE OTHER PARTY WILL NEGOTIATE TO AN APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENT TO THE CAP FOR PROSPECTIVE PERIODS.
28
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
14. TERM AND TERMINATION
14.1 Term. The Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue thereafter for a period of six (6) years (Initial Term), unless terminated earlier as provided below. After the Initial Term unless terminated earlier as provided below, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive periods of two (2) years unless either Party has provided written notice of non-renewal to the other Party at least six (6) months prior to the date of expiration of the then-current term.
14.2 Discontinuation of Low-Demand Technology. After the [*] with respect to the Gflx Process Technology and LSIs G12 and G11 process technologies, and after the first [*] with respect to any other LSI process technology, SCI then will have the right to notify LSI that SCI intends to discontinue support of the Products for which demand has fallen below certain agreed upon minimum volumes. If SCI, following [*] as stated above, elects to discontinue support for such Products, SCI will provide LSI with prior written notice of [*] and will cooperate with LSI as LSI may request in implementing and fulfilling a last time buy process for LSIs end of life requirements for such Products during such 24 month notice period.
14.3 Termination
(a) For Breach. Each Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice of termination to the other Party if the other Party (i) materially breaches this Agreement other than as a result of a Force Majeure described in Section 15.9 below and does not cure the breach within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party, or (b) ceases to conduct business or begins winding up its affairs, becomes the subject of proceedings in bankruptcy, enters into an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or appoints a receiver or trustee or has a receiver or trustee appointed for it.
(b) For Change of Control. LSI will have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event of a Change of Control of SCI or ON if LSI does not consent to such Change of Control (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
14.4 Transition Services. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, SCI will cooperate with LSI and at LSIs request promptly assist LSI in the preparation and execution of a plan to transition the supply of Products and Services to another provider. After the expiration or termination of this Agreement while LSI is transitioning the supply of Products and Services to another provider, SCI will continue to fulfill Orders submitted by LSI, as long as the Gresham Facilities has capacity to fulfill the Orders. SCI will cooperate with LSI and the alternate provider of Products and Services during this transition and will provide information, technology, training, and intellectual property licenses to the alternate provider of the Products and Services as reasonably requested by LSI.
14.5 Effects of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, except for termination for LSIs breach pursuant to Section 14.3(a) above, SCI will fulfill all Orders placed under this Agreement prior to the effective date of
29
termination pursuant to all performance requirements of this Agreement with regard to the satisfactory manufacture, quality, reporting, inspection and delivery of Products and Services. Promptly upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, and except as provided below, all licenses granted to SCI hereunder will immediately cease and SCI will promptly return to LSI all Licensed Material or certify in writing to LSI that the Licensed Materials have all been destroyed, except to the extent that SCI is permitted to retain and/or use any portion of the Licensed Materials pursuant to another agreement with LSI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SCI will have the right to continue to exercise the licenses granted in this Agreement and to use the Licensed Material after the termination or expiration of this Agreement solely for the time period during which SCI continues to manufacture or provide Products or perform Services using such Licensed Material for LSI or any of its Subsidiaries. Sections 1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.4, 14.5, 15 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
15. GENERAL PROVISIONS
15.1 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement (including any licenses granted hereunder) or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any third party without the other Partys prior written consent. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be void.
(a) Assignment by SCI. Notwithstanding Section 15.1 above, upon the prior written consent of LSI, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, SCI will have the right to assign this Agreement in connection with a Change of Control of SCI. If LSI does not consent to an assignment of this Agreement in connection with a Change of Control of SCI and elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 14.3(b), SCI will (and will cause the acquiring party to) provide all reasonable support and assistance to LSI for the transition to LSIs designated alternate source of the supply of Products and Services provided to LSI under this Agreement.
(b) Assignment by LSI. Notwithstanding Section 15.1 above, up on written notice to SCI, LSI will have the right to assign this Agreement in connection with a Change of Control of LSI.
15.2 Compliance with Laws. Each Party will be required to comply with all applicable rules and laws in the performance of its responsibilities under the Agreement including those relating to export licenses and regulations, government permits and government authorizations.
15.3 Resolution of Disputes. With respect to any dispute that arises from or relates to this Agreement, the Parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute cooperatively by escalating resolution of the dispute within each Party. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute cooperatively, then prior to either Party taking action in a court of law, the Parties will submit the dispute to mandatory mediation with Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS). The Parties will mutually agree on the identity of the mediator who will resolve the dispute. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mediator, a neutral mediator will be selected by JAMS. Nothing in this Section 15.3 will prevent either Party from seeking injunctive relief.
30
15.4 Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the laws of the State of California (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law).
15.5 Venue and Jurisdiction. If any legal proceeding or other legal action relating to this Agreement is brought or otherwise initiated, the venue therefor will be in the State of California, which will be deemed to be a convenient forum. Each Party hereby expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of California.
15.6 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to either Party under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed properly delivered, given and received when delivered (by hand, by registered mail, by courier or express delivery service, or by facsimile) to the address or facsimile telephone number set forth beneath the name of such Party below (or to such other address or facsimile telephone number as such Party will have specified in a written notice given to the other Party):

15.7 Remedies. Except as provided in Section 4.5 and Section 12.1, the Parties rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Each Party acknowledges that any actual or threatened breach of Section 9 (Confidentiality) or Section 10 (Ownership) will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to the nonbreaching Party for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach. If either Party continues to use the Proprietary Rights of the other Party after its right to do so has terminated or expired, the nonbreaching Party will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief without the requirement of posting bond.
15.8 Independent Contractor. Each Partys relationship to the other Party is that of an independent contractor, and neither Party is an agent or partner of the other. Neither Party will have, and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of the other Party.
31
15.9 Force Majeure. Force Majeure means any act, event, or occurrence beyond a Partys control, despite its reasonable efforts to prevent, avoid, delay, or mitigate such acts, events, or occurrences, which directly impairs such Partys ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including acts of God, fires, floods, storms, landslides, epidemics, lightning, earthquakes, drought, blight, famine, quarantine, blockade, governmental acts or inaction, orders or injunctions, war, insurrection, terrorist activities, and civil strife. A Party will not be liable for any delays in performance of its obligations under this Agreement caused by a Force Majeure. However, if it appears that the Force Majeure will result in a delay in such Partys performance, the other Party may take whatever steps it deems necessary or appropriate to protect its interests and fulfill its obligations to its customers (including shifting manufacturing of its products to other facilities or sources and in the case of LSI or its Subsidiaries, canceling outstanding Orders for Products), and if it appears the delay will last more than sixty (60) days, the other Party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Party delayed in its performance. If this Agreement is not terminated as a result of the Force Majeure or otherwise, the affected Party will resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement as soon as reasonably possible, and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement (including LSIs obligations under Section 3) will be equitably adjusted as necessary on account of such delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the supply of Products to LSI and its Subsidiaries under this Agreement is interrupted or substantially diminished as a result of a Force Majeure affecting SCI for a period of more than sixty (60) days, LSI will be excused from all further obligations under Section 3.
15.10 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.
15.11 Public Announcements. Except as may be required by any law, rule, or regulation of any government body, neither Party will (and neither Party will permit any of its advisors, representatives, or affiliates to) issue any press release or make any public statement regarding this Agreement without the other Partys prior written consent.
15.12 Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any other person or entity other than the Parties and LSIs Subsidiaries, which are entitled to place Orders and purchase Products and Services under this Agreement.
15.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any person or entity or set of circumstances, is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons, entities or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable, will not be affected and will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
15.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Master NDA, and the other Ancillary Agreements set forth the entire understanding of the Parties and supersede all other agreements and understandings between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
32
15.15 Waiver. No failure on the part of either Party to exercise any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of either Party in exercising any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, will operate as a waiver thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege, or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege, or remedy.
15.16 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered, or supplemented except by means of a written instrument executed on behalf of both Parties.
15.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which will constitute an original and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one agreement.
15.18 Interpretation of Agreement
(a) Each Party acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, and any applicable rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party will not be applied in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
(b) Whenever required by the context hereof, the singular number will include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender will include the masculine and feminine genders.
(c) As used in this Agreement, the words include and including, and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, and will be deemed to be followed by the words without limitation.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the word will is equivalent in meaning to the word shall, both of which describe an act or forbearance which is mandatory under this Agreement.
(e) Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to Sections and Attachments are intended to refer to Sections of and Attachments to this Agreement.
(f) The bold-faced headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, will not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and will not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

Attachment B-2
(Section 5.4)
Valuing In-process WIP and Raw Wafers
1.0 | LSI will continue to own the WIP and raw wafers as of the closing date, but will assign that WIP and raw wafers to the new buyer for completion. All Rapid Chip slice inventories remain the property of LSI. |
2.0 | At the close timing on the day of closing, LSI will take an accounting of all of the work in process (including any lots on hold and engineering wafers) according to the Promis costing system. LSI will also take an accounting of all raw wafers, quartz and targets on hand including inventoried and expensed raw wafers. . |
3.0 | Each production and prototype lot will be assigned a percentage of completion based on the standard cost for the stages completed over the standard cost for the total stages for that lot through E-test. Engineering wafers will be assigned a standard cost based on their stage of completion in Promis. This percentage of completion will then be applied to the applicable wafer pricing by technology pursuant to Attachment B-1. The resulting calculation will be the in process wafer completion value. The raw wafers, quartz and targets will be valued at cost and that value will be added to the in process wafer completion value. |
4.0 | SCI will bill LSI for the full value of the sorted Die or Wafers based upon the agreed to pricing in Attachment B-1 for Wafers or the Die pricing as determined by the methodology in Attachment B-5, as applicable. SCI will then give LSI credit for the value resulting from the calculation of the in process wafer completion and raw wafers, quartz and targets in paragraph 3 above. This dollar credit shall be applied in one third increments in months one, two and three of the agreement. |
5.0 | For any Wafers in sort and not included in the WIP credit calculation at the time of closing, SCI will only bill the reaming sort time needed to complete the sorting of those lots. Any Die in Wafer form at the facility as of the closing date is considered complete and SCI will not bill LSI for these Wafers and will ship to LSI upon request with no charge. |
6.0 | Any expedite fees will only be paid on in-process lots that go on expedite after the date of closing, and the expedite fee shall be prorated based on the stage of completion at the time of closing. |
7.0 | If there are lots that are on an expedited status at the time of close, these lots will get charged the prorated expedited amount from close to completion (of steps that are processed as expedites). |
8.0 | LSI and SCI will work together to ascertain a reasonable value of any ARO wafers that are in process at the time of closing. This value will be a credit to LSI in the first quarter of the Agreement. |

Attachment B 3
(Section 5.3; 5.6)
Additional Pricing Terms
Fees for Expedited Processing:
Super Hot Lot (Priority 1)[*] regardless of technology (see attached Attachment C on related DPML cycle times)
Hot Lot (Priority 2)[*] regardless of technology (see attached Attachment C on related DPML cycle times)
Above fees will be prorated over the number of processing moves that receive expedited treatment, if the lot is not expedited from start to finish.
If the expedited lot does not meet the SCI committed date, such expedite fees that would customarily be charged would be waived by SCI.
Prototype Pricing Premium. The prototype pricing premium will be [*] of the regular production price for the applicable Product. DPML cycle times for such prototype are set forth in Attachment C.
Wafer Sort and Engineering Test Services: [*] of test equipment on all non-consigned equipment.
Consigned test equipment, including but not limited to the Advantest and the laser repair equipment, fees of [*] of test equipment time will be charged.
Small Lot Charge: All small lots that are started in a given week above the [*] or [*] allowed will be charged at a premium of [*] of the base price (adder)
LVR Pricing Premium: All production lots that are run utilizing the non rapid chip LVR reticle capability will be charged a premium of [*] of the base price (adder) after the [*] (G12) or [*] (Gflx) limit has been reached on a particular product.
Engineering Charges: Engineering time for special requested engineering time (e.g. NRE) will be charged at [*]

Attachment B-4
(Section 3.2 (a) and (b))
To show application of Carry Over of Excess / Shortfall under
The following are examples of the QMPA, and how to deal with excess / shortage and carry-forward.
Excess:
Per the wafer supply agreement, the following are the revenue commitments by LSI:
QMPA for Q2, 06 [*]
QMPA for Q3, 06 [*]
At the end of Q2, assume the actual revenue was [*] from LSI
Hence, additional revenue from LSI = [*][*] = [*]
[*] of [*] = [*]
Because the [*] exceeds the [*], only [*] of additional revenue of Q2 will be used to offset LSIs Q3 commitment.
Hence, LSIs contractual Q3 commitment still would be [*] of which [*] would already have been fulfilled at the commencement of Q3.
Shortfall:
Per the wafer supply agreement, the following are the revenue commitments by LSI:
QMPA for Q2, 06 [*]
QMPA for Q3, 06 [*]
At the end of Q2, assume the actual revenue was [*] from LSI
Hence, shortfall of revenue from LSI = [*][*] = [*]
[*] of [*] = $[*]
Hence, LSI would have to pay, per payment terms, [*] to SCI and the balance of [*] would be added to the Q3 contractual revenue commitment of LSI. The new Q3 revenue commitment would be [*].

Attachment B-5
(Section 5.2 (a))
Methodology for price per good die and bumped wafers
Price per good die (sorted die)
1.0 | Die based pricing, based on sorted Die, will be used for products which have more than [*] wafers produced by Gresham, including Wafers produced before the Effective Date. |
2.0 | Wafer based pricing is used for products with [*] Wafers. |
3.0 | For Die based pricing, a NDPW factor is established using the actual mean yields of the nearest [*] months for each product that has [*] Wafers produced. |
4.0 | The Wafer price for the quarter the product is requested or shipped (whichever is later) is used to calculate the price per good Die or the Wafer pricing whichever is applicable. |
5.0 | This price is used for invoicing purposes on Product shipped. The actual quantity shipped times the unit price is used for invoicing purposes. |
6.0 | SCI acknowledges that LSI uses statistical post processing (SPP), whereby some Die, that pass all electrical parameters are still not used for assembly into final products as there is a higher likelihood of encountering reliability failures and a higher DPPM fallout. |
7.0 | Products which are on SPP as of the Effective Date |
7.1 | LSI will continue using SPP on Products that are currently on SPP as of the Effective Date. |
7.2 | SCI will invoice LSI for these Die based on Post SPP based die. |
8.0 | Products which are wafer based pricing and on SPP as of the Effective Date |
8.1 | LSI will continue using SPP on products that are currently on SPP as of the Effective Date. |
8.2 | SCI will invoice LSI for Wafers until the [*] Wafers limit is reached. Wafer pricing used will be based on attachment B-1. Once [*] Wafers have been shipped, SCI will invoice LSI for these die based on Post-SPP based Die. |
9.0 | Products which are on not on SPP as of the Effective Date but subsequently are on SPP during the term of the contract |
9.1 | For the months, the Products are not on SPP, Die based pricing based on sorted good die will be used for invoicing purposes (or Wafer based pricing if [*] Wafers produced for that Product) |
9.2 | When the Product is switched to SPP by LSI, SCI will invoice LSI for these Die based on Post SPP based Die. |
[*] Portions denoted with an asterisk on this page have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
Bumped Wafers
10.0 | Wafers that are fabricated in Gresham and bumped at some other sub-contractor of LSI. |
10.1 | SCI will ship Wafers that require bumping to the location specified by LSI. |
10.2 | SCI will invoice LSI the applicable non-sorted Wafer price: |
10.3 | Wafer Products for which [*] Wafers have been manufactured, if the actual Die yields for such Products, (after bump and sort yield or SPP as applicable) is lower than the expected NDPW due to a Wafer processing cause, LSI shall be entitled to a credit for the shortfall in the actual NDPW as compared to the expected NDPW. |
10.4 | Similarly, for bumped Wafer Products for which [*] wafers have been manufactured, if the actual Die yields for such Products (after bump and sort yield or SPP as applicable) is higher than the expected NDPW, SCI shall be entitled to invoice LSI for the excess in the actual NDPW as compared to the expected NDPW. |

In this Agreement, LSI, LSI Holding, SCI, and ON Trading are referred to collectively as the Parties and each of them is sometimes referred to individually as a Party.
RECITALS
A. LSI and SCI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated April , 2006 (the Asset Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which LSI has agreed to cause its and its subsidiaries right, title, and interest in and to certain assets associated with LSIs semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities in Gresham, Oregon to be sold and transferred to SCI and SCI has agreed to acquire the same from LSI and its subsidiaries.
B. Concurrently with the Closing, the Parties are entering into certain Ancillary Agreements, including this Agreement, pursuant to which (among other things): (a) LSI Holdings is granting to ON Trading and SCI certain licenses to its Process Technology, Product Technology, Licensed Fab Software, and Ancillary Technology (each as defined below); and (b) SCI is granting to LSI and its Affiliates a license to the Fab Intellectual Property.
AGREEMENT
The Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. Any capitalized term that is used but not expressly defined in this Agreement will have the same meaning in this Agreement as the meaning (if any) given to such term in the Asset Purchase Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement:
1.1 Affiliate of a Party means any person or entity that, at any time during the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Party, where control means ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities (but only as long as such person or entity meets these requirements); provided, however, that in the case of SCI and ON Trading, the term Affiliate excludes TPG Partners II, L.P., its parallel funds, their general partners and their other portfolio companies (collectively, TPG), and any other person or entity that would be an Affiliate pursuant to the foregoing definition solely as a result of its ownership by, or its control relationship with, TPG.
1.2 Ancillary Technology means the data, information, and know how of LSI and its Affiliates (in existence as of the Closing Date) pertaining to the Gresham Facilities operational procedures, protocols, and similar activities, including automation, clean room control, and central plant process operations, that is resident at the Gresham Facilities and that is not specifically associated with any Process Technology, Product Technology, Licensed Fab Software, or Fab Software.
1.3 Applicable IP Rights means all: (a) rights associated with works of authorship (whether or not registered), including copyrights and mask work rights, (b) trade secret rights, and (c) other types of legally recognized rights in know-how and other intangible assets (other than Patents, and trademark and service mark rights, trade dress rights, trade name rights, and similar branding rights).
1.4 ASIC means an application specific integrated circuit.
1.5 Assert means to bring, as a Plaintiff, an action of any nature before any legal, judicial, arbitration, administrative, executive, or other type of body or tribunal that has or claims to have authority to adjudicate such action in whole or in part. Examples of such body or tribunal include, United States State and Federal Courts, the United States International Trade Commission, and any foreign counterparts of any of the foregoing.
1.6 Change in Control means, with respect to a Party (or ON), the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) any consolidation or merger of such Party (or ON) with or into any other entity in which the holders of such Partys (or ONs) outstanding shares immediately before such consolidation or merger do not, immediately after such consolidation or merger, retain stock representing a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity or stock representing a majority of the voting power of an entity that wholly owns, directly or indirectly, the surviving entity; (b) the sale, transfer, or assignment of securities of such Party (or ON) representing a majority of the voting power of all of such Partys (or ONs) outstanding voting securities to an acquiring party or group, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions; or (c) the sale of all or substantially all of such Partys (or ONs) assets. Any Change in Control of ON will also be deemed to be a Change in Control of SCI and ON Trading, and any Change in Control of LSI will also be deemed to be a Change in Control of LSI Holdings. In addition, in the case of SCI and ON Trading, a Change of Control also means and includes any transaction or series of transactions as a result of which ON no longer has the power or authority to control and direct the business or affairs of SCI or ON Trading, and in the case of LSI Holdings, a Change of Control also means and includes any transaction or series of transactions as a result of which LSI no longer has the power or authority to control and direct the business or affairs of LSI Holdings.
1.7 Clone Delivery Date means the date on which a duplicate copy of the Fab Intellectual Property (including all modifications, derivative works, improvements, and enhancements thereto made by any Party or its Affiliates prior thereto) is replicated and delivered to LSI (or any of its Affiliates) by SCI (or any of its Affiliates) pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.
1.8 Gflx Process Technology means the Gflx process technology jointly developed by LSI and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

EXHIBIT F
Form of Transition Services Agreement
Attached below.
TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is being entered into as of the Closing Date, by and between SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business at 5005 East McDowell Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85008 (SCI), and LSI LOGIC CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 1621 Barber Lane, Milpitas, CA 95035 (LSI). In this Agreement, LSI and SCI are referred to collectively as the Parties and each of them is sometimes referred to individually as a Party.
RECITALS
A. SCI and LSI are parties to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated April , 2006 (the Asset Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which LSI has agreed to cause its and its subsidiaries right, title, and interest in and to certain assets associated with LSIs semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities in Gresham, Oregon to be sold and transferred to SCI and SCI has agreed to acquire the same from LSI and its Subsidiaries.
B. The Parties wish to arrange for certain services to be provided by one Party to the other Party during a transition period beginning on the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.
AGREEMENT
The Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. Any capitalized term that is used but not expressly defined in this Agreement will have the same meaning in this Agreement as the meaning (if any) given to such term in the Asset Purchase Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement:
1.1 Affiliate of a Party means any Person that, at any time during the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Party, where control means ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities (but only as long as such Person meets these requirements); provided, however, that in the case of ON Semiconductor Corporation and its Subsidiaries, Affiliate shall exclude TPG Partners II, L.P., its parallel funds, their general partners and their other portfolio companies (collectively, TPG) and any other Person that would be an Affiliate pursuant to the foregoing definition solely as a result of its ownership by, or its control relationship with, TPG.
1.2 Pass-Through Expenses means the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Service Provider in the course of providing Services, but not including any overhead costs, profits, or other mark-ups.
1.3 Services means the services, functions, and tasks to be provided by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement as described in the applicable Service Schedule, as such services, functions, and tasks may be changed or supplemented during the Term of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
1.4 Service Provider means, with respect to particular Services, the Party that provides, or is obligated to provide, such Services.
1.5 Service Receiver means, with respect to particular Services, the Party that receives, or is entitled to provide, such Services.
1.6 Service Schedule means a Schedule to this Agreement. Each such Schedule describes (among other things) particular Services, the Service Provider, the Service Term, and the fees (if any) to be paid by the Service Receiver to the Service Provider for such Services.
1.7 Service Term means the period of time during which particular Services will be provided, as set forth in the applicable Service Schedule.
2. SERVICES
2.1 Performance of Services. The Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and as necessary will cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, the Services to the Service Receiver (and, as necessary, its Affiliates) during the Service Term for such Services. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including the applicable Service Schedule), the Service Provider will be responsible for providing the equipment, personnel, and other resources required for performance of the Services.
2.2 Reduction in Services. The Service Receiver may elect to suspend or not to receive all or any part of the Services at any time upon notice to the Service Provider. The Parties will meet monthly, make a mutual assessment of the Services then being provided and make any appropriate adjustments in the Service fees.
2.3 Additional Services. If either Party reasonably requests that the other Party perform additional services not included within the scope of any Services Schedule (an Omitted Service), then the Parties will promptly negotiate in good faith with a view toward adding another Services Schedule to this Agreement covering such additional services. However, no additional Services Schedule will take effect or be binding on either Party until both Parties have agreed in writing to such Services Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LSI agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, at SCIs request, any Omitted Service that was provided by LSI or its Affiliates to the Fab immediately before the Closing and that is reasonably necessary for SCI to fulfill its obligations under the Wafer Supply Agreement.
2.4 Subcontracting. Each Party understands that the other Party may have contracted, and may in the future contract, with third parties to provide services in connection with all or any portion of the Services, including for Omitted Services, to be provided under this
Agreement. Each Party reserves the right to continue to contract with third parties to provide such services or to enter into new contract relationships for such services.
2.5 Standard of Performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party understands and agrees that (a) the other Party is not in the business of providing to third parties services such as those provided under this Agreement, (b) accordingly, the standard of performance to which the Service Provider will be accountable under this Agreement will be the use of commercially reasonable efforts to achieve a comparable level of service as the Service Provider provides to its own internal organization with respect to similar services, and (c) under no circumstance will the Service Provider or any of its employees or contractors be held to a higher standard of performance.
2.6 Consents. If the Service Receivers or any of its Affiliates use of the Services to be provided to it pursuant to this Agreement (or of any equipment or software owned by or leased or licensed to the Service Provider or any of its Affiliates) requires the consent, approval, or agreement of any third party (a Consent), the Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Consent as promptly as practicable, the Service Receiver will reimburse the Service Provider for the costs of obtaining such Consent (subject to the Service Receivers prior approval of such costs, which will not be unreasonably withheld), and the Service Provider will not be required to provide such Services (or allow the Service Receiver to use the affected equipment or software) until all required Consents have been obtained. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to mitigate the cost of obtaining such Consents.
2.7 Cooperation; Access. (a) In order to enable the Service Provider to perform Services, the Service Receiver will provide (and, as necessary, cause its Affiliates to provide) the Service Provider with such cooperation and assistance as the Service Provider reasonably requests. Such cooperation and assistance will include providing to the Service Provider, in a timely manner, answers to questions, information, and technical consultation. Each Party acknowledges that its failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement could result in delays on the part of the other Party in performing the affected Services, or prevent performance by the other Party.
(b) The Service Receiver shall provide to the Service Provider reasonable access to the premises of the Service Receiver and the systems, software and networks located therein, to the extent necessary for the purpose of providing the Services. The Service Provider shall ensure that it and its employees and agents comply with the Service Receivers contractor, supplier and security policies and procedures as may be provided to the Service Provider by the Service Receiver from time to time.
2.8 Services Managers. Each Party will each appoint a single Services Manager for each Service. The initial Services Manager for each Party will be identified in the applicable Service Schedule and will serve as the primary point of contact for the other Party for matters related to such Service. Either Party may replace any of its Services Managers with an individual of comparable qualifications and experience by notifying the other Party of such new appointment.
3. COMPENSATION
3.1 Fees. The Service Receiver will pay the Service Provider the fees (if any) set forth in the applicable Service Schedule for the Services provided by the Service Provider.
3.2 Pass-Through Expense Reimbursement. The Service Receiver will reimburse the Service Provider for Pass-Through Expenses that are incurred by the Service Provider in performing the Services and are invoiced to the Service Receiver in accordance with Section 3.3. The nature and amount of the anticipated Pass-Through Expenses for each Service are identified in the applicable Service Schedule; any material deviations from these amounts and any material Pass-Through Expenses not identified in the applicable Service Schedule will be subject to written agreement of the Parties.
3.3 Invoicing and Payment. (a) Unless other payment terms are set forth in the applicable Service Schedule and except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3(b), each calendar quarter during the Term, the Service Provider will issue to the Service Receiver an invoice for the amount of the Fab related and Service related expenses, fees and other charges, payable to the Service Provider. The Service Receiver will pay the amount invoiced by the Service Provider within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
(b) Fab related and Service related expenses, fees and other charges incurred by the Service Provider in performing Services will be documented and be available to the Service Receiver through the Gresham Expense Flow as described in Schedule 2.
(c) All payments made pursuant to this Section 3.3 must be made in U.S. Dollars, by check payable to the order of the Service Provider or by wire transfer of the immediately available fund to a bank account previously designated by the Service Provider.
3.4 Taxes. The fees of Service Provider for Services provided pursuant to this Agreement exclude all excise, sales, use, gross receipts, value added, goods and services, or similar transaction or revenue-based taxes applicable to the provision of services and imposed by any federal, state, or local taxing authority (such taxes, together with any applicable interest, penalties, or additions to tax imposed with respect to such taxes, Taxes), and Service Receiver will be responsible for payment of all such Taxes.
3.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in the performance of this Agreement.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY. Any disclosure of any confidential information of either Party pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement will be governed by the terms of the Nondisclosure Agreement between LSI and SCI being entered into concurrently with this Agreement as part of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time (the Master NDA).
5. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
5.1 Waiver. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST DATA AND LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
5.2 Liability Limit. EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF A PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES AND PASS-THROUGH EXPENSES OWED OR PAID BY SUCH PARTY TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
6. DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, THE SERVICE PROVIDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES, AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Nothing in this Section 6 will impair any rights or remedies of either LSI or SCI under the Asset Purchase Agreement.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION
7.1 Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement begins on the Closing Date and, unless extended by written agreement of the Parties pursuant to Section 7.2 or terminated earlier pursuant to Section 7.3, will continue until the earlier of (a) the termination or expiration of each Service Term under all Service Schedules or (b) the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date (the Term).
7.2 Extensions. The Parties acknowledge that it is in their mutual best interests to cooperate to achieve a smooth transition and adequate support of their respective activities at the Gresham Facilities after the Closing Date. Accordingly, if the Service Receiver reasonably believes, as the end of the applicable Service Term or the Term approaches, that the need for a Service will continue beyond such Service Term or the Term, then at the Service Receivers request, the Parties will confer and attempt in good faith to agree on the terms of an extension of the Service Term or the Term.
7.3 Termination for Cause. Each Party will have the right to terminate the term of this Agreement, or the Service Term for any particular Service Schedule, immediately upon written notice to the other Party, if the other Party materially breaches any term of this Agreement or such Service Schedule and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after being given written notice of such breach by the non-breaching Party.
7.4 Effect of Termination. Neither Party will be liable to the other Party because of any proper termination of this Agreement for compensation, reimbursement, or damages for the loss of prospective profits, anticipated sales, or goodwill. The following provisions of this Agreement will survive its termination or expiration: Sections 1, 3 (with respect to Services performed prior to termination or expiration), 5, 6, 7.3, and 8.
8. GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1 Compliance with Laws. Each Party agrees that it will, in the course of exercising the rights licensed or sublicensed to it in this Agreement, comply with all applicable rules and laws, including export and import control laws and regulations.
8.2 Independent Contractors. This Agreement is not intended to establish any partnership, joint venture, employment, or other relationship between the Parties except that of independent contractors.
8.3 Resolution of Disputes. With respect to any dispute that arises from or relates to this Agreement, the Parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute cooperatively by escalating resolution of the dispute within each Party. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute cooperatively, then prior to either Party taking action in a court of law, the Parties will submit the dispute to mandatory mediation with Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS). The Parties will mutually agree on the identity of the mediator who will resolve the dispute. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mediator, a neutral mediator will be selected by JAMS. Nothing in this Section 8.3 will prevent either Party from seeking injunctive relief.
8.4 Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the laws of the State of California (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law).
8.5 Venue and Jurisdiction. If any legal proceeding or other legal action relating to this Agreement is brought or otherwise initiated, the venue therefor will be in the State of California, which will be deemed to be a convenient forum.

A Party will not be liable for any delays in performance of its obligations under this Agreement caused by a Force Majeure.
8.9 Assignment. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by way of merger, or otherwise) to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may assign this entire Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to any successor in the event of a Change in Control of such Party, provided that such Affiliate or successor agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and to assume all of the assigning Partys obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment of rights or delegation of obligations under this Agreement in breach or violation of this Section 8.9 will be null and void.
8.10 Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any other person or entity other than the Parties and each Partys Affiliates, to the extent such Affiliates are entitled to receive Services under this Agreement.
8.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any person or entity or set of circumstances, is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons, entities or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable, will not be affected and will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Master NDA, and the other Ancillary Agreements set forth the entire understanding of the Parties and supersede all other agreements and understandings between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
8.13 Waiver.

2.1 Limitations on Use and Disclosure. The Receiving Party will not, and will not allow any of its Affiliates or Representatives to, use, disclose, provide, or make available to any third party any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except (a) as necessary to consummate any of the Contemplated Transactions or as expressly permitted under any Ancillary Agreement or any other written agreement between the Receiving Party and the Disclosing Party; (b) for disclosures to the Receiving Partys Representatives to the extent necessary (i) to operate the Gresham Facilities (but subject to any express limitations or restrictions on the use or disclosure of such Confidential Information set forth in an Ancillary Agreement or any other written agreement between the Receiving Party and the Disclosing Party) or (ii) for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under any Ancillary Agreement or any other written agreement between the Parties (but subject to any express limitations or restrictions on the use or disclosure of such Confidential Information set forth in such Ancillary Agreement or such other written agreement); or (c) in the course of legal proceedings to establish the Receiving Partys rights or obligations (provided that the Receiving Party has notified the Disclosing Party thereof and used all reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or otherwise lawfully contest or seek to limit the scope of the disclosure). Nothing in this Section 2.1 will permit ON, SCI, or any of their Affiliates or Representatives to use or disclose any LSI Proprietary Business Information.
2.2 LSI Proprietary Business Information. ON, SCI, and their Representatives will have no right under or as a result of this Agreement, or except as may be expressly provided in another Ancillary Agreement, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, to use, disclose, or obtain any LSI Proprietary Business Information. To the extent and for as long as any LSI Proprietary Business Information (other than LSI Proprietary Business Information that is not Confidential Information of LSI) is accessible or controlled by ON, SCI, or any of their Representatives, ON and SCI will protect such LSI Proprietary Business Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as ON and SCI protect their own confidential information of a similar nature, and in no event with less than reasonable care. Whenever ON or SCI or any of their Representatives discover or otherwise obtain any LSI Proprietary Business Information, ON or SCI will promptly notify LSI and thereafter will, at LSIs request or direction, return to LSI or destroy (or in the case of electronic files permanently erase) all documents, materials, and electronic files containing such LSI Proprietary Business Information.
2.3 Protection Against Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Disclosing Partys Confidential Information to those of the Receiving Partys Representatives who have a need to know, who are subject to confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein, and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Partys Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the Receiving Party protects its own confidential information of a similar nature, and in no event
3
with less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party will be liable to the Disclosing Party for any action or omission on the part of any Affiliate or Representative of the Receiving Party that would constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party if the Receiving Party itself had committed such action or omission.
2.4 General Exceptions. The term Confidential Information does not include information that (i) is or becomes available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives in breach of this Agreement; (ii) was or is provided to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such information or otherwise prohibited from providing the information to the Receiving Party or such Affiliate or Representative of the Receiving Party by a contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation; or (iii) the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives independently develops without reference to Confidential Information or any derivative thereof. In the case of LSI as the Receiving Party, the exception in clause (ii) in this Section 2.4 will apply to Transferred Confidential Information only to the extent such Transferred Confidential Information is provided to LSI or any of its Affiliates or Representatives after the Closing Date.
2.5 Exception for Required Disclosures. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Receiving Party or any Affiliate or Representative of the Receiving Party is required by any Legal Requirement or a Governmental Order to disclose Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such required disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If the Disclosing Party determines to seek such a protective order or other remedy, the Receiving Party will (and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives to) cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking such protective order or other remedy. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained and disclosure of Confidential Information is required, the Receiving Party or such Affiliate or Representative of the Receiving Party, as the case may be, (i) may, without liability hereunder, furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information which, in the written opinion of counsel to the Receiving Party or the Affiliate or Representative of the Receiving Party, as the case may be, the Receiving Party or such Affiliate or Representative of the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose and (ii) will exercise reasonable efforts to have confidential treatment accorded any Confidential Information so furnished.
2.6 Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. At the request and direction of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will (and will cause its Affiliates to) promptly return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (or in the case of electronic files, permanently erase) all documents, materials, and electronic files containing Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, unless the Receiving Party (or any of its Affiliates) has a right or need to use such Confidential Information to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under an Ancillary Agreement or any other written agreement between the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party. In addition, even if not requested by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will (and will cause its Affiliates to) promptly return or destroy, as described in this Section 2.6, any Confidential Information that is no longer required by the Receiving Party (or any of its
4
Affiliates) to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under any Ancillary Agreement or any other written agreement with the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to the LSI Proprietary Business Information, the Receiving Party may retain one archival copy of documents, materials, and files containing Confidential Information solely for evidentiary purposes.
2.7 Residuals. Subject to any express restrictions on the use of intellectual property or proprietary rights in other Ancillary Agreements, the Receiving Party will be free to use the residuals of any Confidential Information in any manner without being required to pay any fee, royalty, or other consideration to the Disclosing Party, subject only to its obligations with respect to disclosure of such Confidential Information set forth herein. The term residuals means any information that is retained in the unaided memories of Representatives of the Receiving Party who have had access to the Confidential Information.
3. DISCLAIMERS. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting any Party (or any of its Affiliates or Representatives) any right or license under any intellectual property rights of another Party. Except as may be expressly provided otherwise in an Ancillary Agreement, all Confidential Information is furnished AS IS. No Party makes any representation or warranty in this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any implied representation or warranty, including any representation or warranty concerning accuracy or completeness, with respect to any Confidential Information provided to another Party. The foregoing does not in any way limit, impair, or otherwise affect any representations or warranties made in the Asset Purchase Agreement, any other Ancillary Agreement, or any other written agreement between the Parties.
4. REMEDIES
4.1 Injunctive Relief. The Receiving Party acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party and that any such breach would cause the Disclosing Party irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Receiving Party also agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Disclosing Party, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity it may have, will be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security.
4.2 No Liability Limitations. No disclaimers or limitations of liability in any of the other Ancillary Agreements will apply to breaches of this Agreement.
5. GENERAL PROVISIONS
5.1 Assignment. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by way of merger, or otherwise) to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may assign this entire Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to any successor in the event of a Change in Control of such Party, provided that such Affiliate or successor agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and to assume all of the assigning Partys obligations under this Agreement. Any
5
attempted assignment of rights or delegation of obligations under this Agreement in breach or violation of this Section 5.1 will be null and void.

5.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, and the other Ancillary Agreements set forth the entire understanding of the Parties and supersede all
6
other agreements and understandings between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, except that nothing herein terminates or replaces any obligations of any Party arising under the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to Evaluation Material (as such term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) that is not also Confidential Information (as defined in this Agreement). If any Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) is also Confidential Information (as defined in this Agreement), the terms of this Agreement will supersede the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to such Evaluation Material.
5.9 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of either Party in exercising any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, will operate as a waiver thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege, or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege, or remedy.

In the case of an owners policy, an ALTA/ACSM survey must be provided for review prior to closing. Please contact your Company representative for assistance. |
(b) | Proof that there are no parties in possession or claiming to the right to be in possession other than the vestees herein and that there are not existing leases or tenancies other than those disclosed to the Company by the owner. |

Preliminary Title Report | Order No. 06-000759m |
NOTE: It is our policy in Oregon to identify a reduced title insurance charge on Schedule A when it appears to us that your transaction qualifies for a reduced charge. The reduction usually is computed as a percentage of the Companys basic rate. If a reduced charge appears on Schedule A, it is one of the following:
Short Term Rate: | A discount of up to 20% applies when there has been title insurance on the property within the previous three years. | |
Builder-Developer Rate: | A discount of 35% may apply when a party to the transaction is a builder or developer and the property is residential. | |
Lender Post-Foreclosure Rate: | A discount of 35% may apply when a seller acquired the property through foreclosure. | |
Contract Fulfillment Rate: | A discount of up to 50% may apply to an owners policy issued upon fulfillment of a previously insured land sale contract. | |
Post-Construction Permanent Loan Rate: | A discount of up to 75% may apply to a loan policy for a permanent mortgage when it refinances a previously insured construction loan. | |
Simultaneous Issue Rate: | A special rate may apply when two or more policies are issued simultaneously, such as a loan policy with an owners policy or two loan policies. |
IF YOU THINK A REDUCED RATE APPLIES TO YOUR TRANSACTION BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR ON SCHEDULE A, PLEASE INFORM YOUR ESCROW OFFICER OR TITLE OFFICER.
You may contact your escrow officer or title officer at the phone number, email address or mailing address shown on this report.
