Motorola, upon prompt notice by ASE, and ASE shall in good faith negotiate a
reasonable and mutually acceptable solution.
(C) Unless otherwise agreed, ASE shall provide a written notice
to Motorola * prior to making
any changes that may affect any of the Contract Products. In addition, ASE

(A) As a condition to the execution of this Agreement, Motorola
shall provide ASE with a written forecast for the total monthly volume of the
Contract Products, itemized by package type and pin count, that Motorola plans
to order from ASE during *
. After the end of each subsequent month, Motorola shall provide ASE with
an update to the forecast (a " * Forecast"), which is to be
used by ASE to allocate capacity for the Work. The Twelve Month Rolling
Forecast shall establish the minimum capacity of ASE to be available to
Motorola during each month of the immediately following *
period, upon the acceptance thereof by ASE. The absence of any notice of
objection to a Twelve Month Rolling Forecast given by ASE within *
of the date of receipt shall be deemed as acceptance by ASE.
Motorola makes no representation or warranty with respect to the accuracy of
any * Forecast.
(B) Using the * Forecasts, ASE will provide sufficient
capacity for * of the Work specified
for each month. ASE will place orders for materials using such suppliers and
upon such lead times as Motorola and ASE shall mutually agree. If Motorola's
forecasts for any Contract Products significantly decrease, and such decrease
results, after * , in more than * of inventory of
unique materials purchased by ASE to support Motorola's requirements, and which
inventory cannot be used for any other ASE customer, then Motorola will
purchase the inventory above * from ASE * ,
provided that ASE had purchased reasonable quantities of such materials based
on Motorola's forecasts. It is ASE's intention to work with its suppliers and
with Motorola to allocate certain of such risks among all parties to the extent
practicable, and it is understood by the parties that the provisions of this
Section 8(B) are subject to review by the parties concurrently with the
issuance of any new pricing Supplement pursuant to Section 16 of this
Agreement.
(C) ASE and Motorola shall negotiate in good faith on the
financial obligation of each Party with respect to, and delivery times for, any
capital equipment required by ASE to support Motorola's requirements if such
equipment

<PAGE> 7
is unique to Motorola's specifications and cannot be used without material
modification or expenditure by ASE to support other customers. Such negotiation
shall include good faith attempts of the Parties to find alternative uses for
such equipment. This Subsection shall not apply to capital equipment additions
within the contemplation of the Parties prior to the effective date of this
Agreement, which includes ASE's commitment to expend a minimum of * for
the Paju Facility.
(D) ASE agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
accommodate mix and option changes required by Motorola's business needs.
(E) If the Work required is either significantly more or
significantly less than that specified by the * month forecast,
Motorola shall communicate such information to ASE as soon as such information
is available.
9. ORDER PLACEMENT AND DELIVERY

shall reference. All preprinted terms and conditions contained in the blanket
purchase orders, including the aggregate purchase prices, are superceded by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Supplements hereto. Motorola's
actual orders for the Contract Products shall also be placed with ASE
periodically. The actual orders shall provide details regarding specific
Contract Products, mix, quantities, shipping instructions and requested
shipment dates. ASE agrees to comply with the requested shipment dates unless
it advises Motorola otherwise within seven (7) calendar days following its
receipt of the actual orders. ASE shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to deliver the exact quantity of the Contract Products ordered. ASE shall adopt
Motorola's Demand Driven Production Requirements (DDPR) system for piece part
forecasting and, unless otherwise mutually agreed, ASE shall adopt Motorola
Contract House Accounts Payable System (CHAPS) for inventory accounting and
payment.

communication of the delivery problems to Motorola. ASE shall also take a
systematic approach to develop, evaluate and monitor adherence to established
on-time delivery requirements. ASE will notify Motorola when the on-time
delivery requirement will not be met. ASE and Motorola will in good faith
negotiate the compensation to be paid by ASE to Motorola, if any, for actual,
direct damages incurred by Motorola as a result of such late delivery. ASE
agrees to implement Supplier Managed Inventory with Motorola so that Contract
Products will be provided on a demand-pull basis.

* of receipt at Motorola's ultimate destination. At Motorola's
request, ASE shall hold the Contract Products and delay shipment for up to
* . ASE shall certify to Motorola with each shipment
that the Contract Products contained therein have successfully passed
applicable testing and meet all specifications. Acceptance testing of the
Contract Products delivered to Motorola shall be performed by Motorola within
* of receipt.
(B) If Motorola rejects any Contract Products, Motorola and ASE
shall confer to determine the reason for the rejection. ASE shall immediately
exercise commercially reasonable efforts to develop and implement a corrective
action plan for any errors, including manufacturing errors or defects,
identified in its systems. All properly rejected Contract Products that are
confirmed by ASE to be nonconforming may be returned to ASE for a refund at the
purchase price stated in the applicable Supplement, plus Motorola's shipping
cost, or may be retained by Motorola subject to a mutually agreed credit issued
by ASE to be applied to future orders by Motorola. Title and risk of loss or
damage to return merchandise

have the right to use the reliability data concerning the Contract Products for
the sole purposes of preparing sales and promotional information concerning the
Contract Products for Motorola's actual or potential customers. ASE's

process of the Work. The records shall include quality control data, process
deviation notes, assembly records, deviations, burn-in conditions, final test
data and finished goods top side date codes. ASE shall maintain lot history
records for a period of three (3) years. All lot history records are the
property of ASE but shall also be considered confidential information of
Motorola. Motorola shall have access to the lot history records concerning all
Motorola Contract Products at any time during ordinary business hours.
(C) ASE agrees to provide, upon request, timely failure analyses
on the Contract Products that are beyond either Motorola's analysis capability

shall be borne by the Party that prepares and files the application. Before
filing, the filing Party shall request the other Party to indicate whether it
will agree to pay * of all IP Fees and Translating Expenses, if

the non-filing Party does not notify the requesting Party within *
in writing that it will pay * of all IP Fees and
Translating Expenses or if one Party desires to obtain intellectual property

but both Parties will remain joint owners and (iii) the filing shall reflect
the Parties as joint owners. For the purposes of this Subsection 24(E): (i) "IP

charges related to securing and maintaining intellectual property rights other

of the Work, and to specify such changes as may be reasonably required to
protect the Work or the Bailed Property. ASE shall immediately report to
Motorola any breaches or suspected breaches of its security, but such reporting
shall not relieve ASE of its responsibilities hereunder.

some specified but limited discovery about the dispute. The Parties may also

invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, or violate any applicable
law, this Agreement is to be considered divisible as to such provision and such

The failure of any Party to enforce, at any time, or for any period of
time, any provision of this Agreement, to exercise any election or option
