or notices of approval or disapproval of them, are in transit. CONTRACTOR is

hereunder, COMPANY shall have the right to review said engineering work
currently to the extent COMPANY finds desirable, and if any question shall arise

proposed design and specifications. CONTRACTOR shall make such modifications in
its engineering work as are necessary to conform with the approved plans,
specifications, drawings, and data sheets and to correct errors or faulty
design.

publish a schedule defining when CONTRACTOR will submit said plans,
specifications, drawings, data sheets, Project Schedule, Project Budget and
Estimate of Project Cost. Such plan shall be consistent with the document
entitled "AMD Fab 30 Dresden" referred to in Section 5.1. To expedite such

work, as rapidly as CONTRACTOR prepares or obtains said documents, CONTRACTOR
shall, when and if requested to do so, furnish COMPANY (for information purposes

shall have approved such bulk orders and their release in writing prior to the
release and said materials are ordered in accordance with applicable
specifications approved by COMPANY.
5.4 RETURN OF DESIGN DOCUMENTS TO CONTRACTOR. One copy each of all plans,
----------------------------------------
specifications, drawings, and data sheets submitted to COMPANY for approval
shall be returned to CONTRACTOR marked either "APPROVED," "APPROVED AS MARKED,"
or "REVISE AS INDICATED." However, CONTRACTOR shall not release orders or begin
work covered by any plans, specifications, drawings, or data sheets that are
returned to it marked "REVISE AS INDICATED"; and all such plans, specifications,
drawings, and data sheets shall be first revised by CONTRACTOR and resubmitted
to COMPANY for its approval and such approval obtained before any orders are
released or work is begun thereunder. All requirements hereinbefore set forth
pertaining to the approval of plans, specifications, drawings, and data sheets
shall apply with equal force to any and all revisions of plans, specifications,
drawings, and data sheets. COMPANY'S marking any plans, specifications,
drawings and data sheets as aforesaid shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of its
responsibilities under the Contract, and all approvals or revisions by COMPANY
shall be subject to the limitations expressed in Section 5.5.
