change its team co-leaders from time to time upon thirty (30) days' written
notice to the other party.
Section 2.3. Cooperative Efforts. The parties shall fully
cooperate with each other in performing such development and design work and
will jointly conduct such work at the same location to the extent possible to
enable Fujitsu and AMD to develop a better understanding of each other's
technological culture and methodology. In the event that, during the term of
this Agreement, any portion of such work is required to be performed
independently by one party, such party shall provide the other party with
regular progress reports on the status of such work so that the other party
might join in such work and shall inform the other party of all results of such
work immediately upon its completion. In the event that development or design
work is performed at one party's facility or facilities, the other party may at
all reasonable times visit the facility or facilities, observe the development
or design work being performed, and bring back to such other party's facilities
all information and results obtained in the course of such work. The major
responsibilities of device design work for the initial JV Products are
specified in Attachment A hereto.
Section 2.4. Settlement of Technical Differences. If the
Development Teams have a difference of technical opinion in the course of
development and design work hereunder, the development teams shall resolve such
difference of opinion by mutual agreement with the goal of developing the best
Subject Technology and achieving the best productivity of JV Products for the
JV.
Section 2.5. Personnel Assignments. Fujitsu may assign
personnel to Fujitsu Microelectronics, Inc. or other Subsidiaries in the United
States, and AMD may assign personnel to its Subsidiaries in Japan, to carry out
the activities contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall cooperate with
the other in arranging such assignments.
Article 3. TARGET SCHEDULE FOR JOINT DEVELOPMENT.
Attachment C hereto contains an initial schedule for the
development of Subject Technology (the "Target Schedule"). Fujitsu and AMD
agree to use their best efforts to adhere to the Target Schedule.
Article 4. PROCESS DEVELOPMENT.
Section 4.1. Development Steps for the 0.5 micron Process.
The development steps for the Subject Technology related to the 0.5-micron
process shall be as follows:
(a) The parties shall first compare and evaluate each unit
process of both parties' existing 0.5-micron wafer process to assess their
applicability to the production of JV Products at JV's facility.
(b) The parties shall then establish a target process flow for
the 0.5- micron wafer process for JV (the "0.5-micron JV Process") considering
the structural requirements of JV Products and, based upon the results of
Section 4.1(a) and upon mutual
