6.33 Certain Technology Agreements.
-----------------------------
(a) Seller represents that it is a party to agreements, dated
December 9, 1988, November 15, 1991 and May 1, 1995 with Hitachi

Seller and Buyer desire now to clarify Buyer's rights and Seller's
obligations with respect to such intellectual property as follows,
without limiting or
8
diminishing any rights or licenses granted by other agreements between
Buyer and Seller:
(i) Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its Subsidiaries
a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license
under any know how, trade secret, copyright and mask work
rights arising out of or transferred to Seller pursuant to the
Eagle Consortium as to which Seller and/or any of its
Subsidiaries ever had, acquired, or presently have a right to
use, such license to grant rights to Buyer to develop,
manufacture, have manufactured, use, sell, import or otherwise
dispose of semiconductor products for the respective lives of
the know-how, trade secret, copyright, and mask work rights.
(ii) Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its
Subsidiaries a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free,
worldwide license of maximum scope (except that such license

Agreement of GT Agreements," dated September 28, 1998,
"Termination Agreement of Orion Agreements," dated September
29, 1998, or "Memorandum on Termination of License and
Technical Assistance Agreement," dated September 29, 1998,
respectively, as to any know how, trade secret, copyright and
mask work rights arising out of or transferred to Seller
pursuant to the GT Projects, the Orion Project, or Project M,
respectively, such license to grant rights to Buyer to develop,
manufacture, have manufactured, use, sell, import or otherwise
dispose of semiconductor products for the respective lives of
the know-how, trade secret, copyright, and mask work rights.
(iii) With respect to patents jointly owned by Seller
arising out of the GT Projects or the Orion Project, Seller
agrees that it will not consent to any licensing framework for
any such joint patent that would allow any party to license or
enforce such joint patent to or against Buyer on terms that
would require Buyer to pay or offer any consideration of any
kind in exchange for such license. The terms "joint patents"
and "licensing framework" shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in the agreements relating to the GT Projects and the
Orion Project.
(b) Seller represents and warrants that there are no patents,
pending applications for patent, or disclosures which will result in
applications for patent arising out of or resulting from Project M
that are jointly owned by Seller and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
(c) Seller agrees that any patent(s) arising out of or resulting
from the Eagle Consortium shall be considered "TI PATENTS" as that
term is used in the Cross-License Agreement, attached as Exhibit C to
the Acquisition Agreement.
9
(d) Notwithstanding any other indemnity provision in this
Agreement or any agreement or amendment associated with this
Agreement, and not subject to any limitations on any other indemnity
provision in this Agreement or any agreement or amendment associated
with this Agreement, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer
and any Buyer subsidiary, including their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents harmless with respect to any claim that
any manufacture, use, sale, offer to sell or importation of any
product, any combination of such product with any other hardware
and/or software, any method or process used in the manufacture or
testing of such product, or any tools or equipment used for
accomplishing any of the foregoing infringes (a) any know how, trade
secret, copyright or mask work rights of the Eagle Consortium to which
Buyer received a license under subparagraph 1, above, (b) any Joint
Patent arising out of the GT Projects or the Orion Project, or (c) any
patent arising out of or resulting from the Eagle Consortium. This
indemnity shall apply regardless of whether such claim is brought by
Hitachi, Mitsubishi, parties to the Eagle Consortium, or any successor
in interest to any intellectual property identified in (a), (b) and
(c) herein. Seller agrees to pay all costs, expenses and fees arising
out of defense and investigation of such claim, including any and all
damages award or settlement amount resulting therefrom. In the event
an injunction is obtained against activities of Buyer or its
subsidiaries, Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to

in the claim.

that if Buyer or its Subsidiary reasonably determines that price,
quantities, delivery dates, credit or payment terms associated with
such backlog are not consistent with its
10
customary policies and Buyer or its Subsidiary is unable to negotiate
acceptable terms with such customer, Buyer or its Subsidiary may
reject such backlog. Backlog scheduled for delivery to, and DRAM
inventory held at, the common distributors designated in the letter
agreements attached hereto as Exhibit P shall be treated in accordance
with the provisions of such letter agreements. The Seller Group shall
exercise commercially reasonable efforts to avoid scheduling backlog
for delivery within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Date.
