This Fourth Amended and Restated Semiconductor Custom Manufacturing Attachment No. 1 shall replace Third Amended and Restated Semiconductor Custom Manufacturing Attachment No. 1 (effective January 21, 2005) in its entirety as of the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Attachment (other than the warranty terms set forth below in the Unique Terms and Conditions section of the Statement of Work) apply to all Products identified in this Attachment that Customer ordered from January 1, 2006 through the Effective Date, and the warranty provisions applicable to those ordered Products are those contained in the Third Amended and Restated Semiconductor Custom Manufacturing Attachment No. 1.

Attachments are governed by the terms and conditions of the Base Agreement.

Statement of Work

Unique Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions are applicable to this Attachment only. Referring to the Base Agreement:

(a) Modify the following terms and conditions:
