Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The Intellectual Property License Agreement we entered into effective as of January 28, 2004 with Intel Corporation was amended on June 28, 2006 (“Amended Intellectual Property License Agreement”). Under the original intellectual property license agreement, pursuant to which we licensed certain patents and trade secrets from Intel related to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology, our obligation to pay license fees to Intel did not commence until our first high volume manufacturing shipment of an EUV lithography light source. The Amended Intellectual Property License Agreement replaces the license fee payments tied to product shipments with an up-front license fee which we paid to Intel in full upon execution of this amended Agreement. The Amended Intellectual Property License Agreement also changes a number of the EUV patents covered by the license. All of the licensed patents under the amended Agreement relate to EUV technology. We intend to use the licensed patents in connection with our continuing research and development efforts related to EUV technology.
