Spansion shall not be obligated to make any payment to Fujitsu pursuant to this Section 2.2 with respect to any Quarter during the Initial Period in which Fujitsu fails to make available to Spansion, manufacturing capacity sufficient to permit Spansion to satisfy the Minimum Purchase Commitment for that Quarter.

Fujitsu and Spansion will negotiate in good faith to agree by December 31, 2007 upon (i) Spansion' s purchase commitment for the Subsequent Period (the " Subsequent Period Commitment" ), (ii) Wafer prices for the Subsequent Period (the " Subsequent Period Price" ), and (iii) any remedy available to (x) Fujitsu in case of failure by Spansion to satisfy its minimum purchase commitment, and (y) Spansion in case of failure by Fujitsu to make available to Spansion the corresponding minimum manufacturing capacity (the " Subsequent Period Remedies" ). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed as follows with respect to the Subsequent Period:
-5-
2.6.1 Each of Fujitsu and Spansion shall prepare in writing and deliver to the other, by no later than November 6, 2007, with respect to Spansion, a good faith Wafer Demand Plan for the Subsequent Period in accordance with Section 5.2 , and with respect to Fujitsu, its own wafer demand plan (collectively, the " Subsequent Period Wafer Demand Plan" ).
2.6.2 If, by no later than December 31, 2007, Spansion agrees to the Fujitsu requested minimum purchase commitments for the Subsequent Period as set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto, then the Subsequent Period Price will remain as set forth in Exhibit B and the Subsequent Period Remedies will remain as set forth in Section 2.2 and 2.3 , subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6.4 , Spansion shall not terminate leases early as set forth in Section 2.6.5 below, and such Fujitsu requested minimum purchase commitments shall thereafter constitute the Minimum Purchase Commitments for purpose of this Agreement. In the event that the parties cannot agree by December 31, 2007, on the Subsequent Period Commitment under this Section 2.6.2 , then, subject to Section 2.6.3 and 2.6.4 , Fujitsu shall not be required to provide the Spansion desired minimum purchase commitments set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and Spansion shall not be required to make the minimum purchase commitments set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto.
2.6.3 Even if Spansion does not agree to the Fujitsu requested minimum purchase commitments on Exhibit E attached hereto, so long as the parties can agree on the Subsequent Period Price, Fujitsu will provide the Spansion desired minimum purchase commitments on Exhibit E attached hereto during the Subsequent Period, provided, however , that it is agreed that (x) Spansion shall not terminate leases early as set forth in Section 2.6.5 below if such termination would impair Fujitsu' s ability to satisfy both its minimum manufacturing capacity commitment to Spansion at any time during the Subsequent Period and Fujitsu' s own manufacturing capacity needs at any time during the Subsequent Period, (y) Subsequent Period Remedies shall remain as set forth in Section 2.2 and 2.3 , and (z) such Spansion desired minimum purchase commitments shall thereafter constitute the Minimum Purchase Commitments for purposes of this Agreement. In the event that the parties cannot agree by December 31, 2007, on the Subsequent Period Price under this Section 2.6.3 , then, subject to Section 2.6.2 and 2.6.4 , Fujitsu shall not be required to provide the Spansion desired minimum purchase commitments set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and Spansion shall not be required to make the minimum purchase commitments set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto.
2.6.4 If the projected combined demand for wafers by Spansion and Fujitsu as set forth in the Subsequent Period Wafer Demand Plan is less than Wafer Amount for the Subsequent Period, then Fujitsu will develop and provide to Spansion a revised Fujitsu requested minimum purchase commitment for the Subsequent Period in lieu of the Fujitsu requested minimum purchase commitment set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto. If Spansion agrees to that proposal, then the parties will negotiate the Subsequent Period Price pursuant to Section 6 , but the manufacturing capacity of JV1/JV2 may be limited to Unsorted Wafer Amount in total for the combined Spansion and Fujitsu demand during the entire Subsequent Period. In the event that the parties cannot agree by December 31, 2007, on the Subsequent Period Price, the Subsequent Period Commitment, and the Subsequent Period Remedies under this Section 2.6.4 , then, subject to Section 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 , Fujitsu shall not be required to provide the Spansion desired minimum purchase commitments set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and Spansion shall not be required to make the minimum purchase commitments set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto.

2.6.5 Subject to Section 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 , if (A) the projected combined demand for wafers by Spansion and Fujitsu as set forth in the Subsequent Period Wafer Demand Plan is less than Wafer Amount for the Subsequent Period or (B) the actual agreed upon Subsequent Period Commitment together with Fujitsu' s projected demand is less than Wafer Amount for the Subsequent Period, then each of Spansion and Fujitsu shall have a right, in accordance with the terms of the Equipment Lease Agreement, to terminate the Equipment Lease Agreement for some or all of the leased equipment effective June 30, 2008, by giving notice to the other party prior to December 31, 2007 (an " Early Termination" ); provided, however, that (a) in the event of a partial lease termination by either party, Fujitsu may select the specific equipment as to which the Equipment Lease Agreement will be terminated, subject to Spansion' s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (b) the manufacturing capacity of JV1/JV2 during the Subsequent Period, including, without limitation, during calendar year 2009, may be limited to Unsorted Wafer Amount in total for the combined Spansion and Fujitsu demand. 2.6.6 Further in the event of an Early Termination, it is understood and agreed that (i) in fulfilling a total manufacturing capacity of Unsorted Wafer Amount in total at JV1/JV2, Fujitsu will have reasonable discretion to utilize or close any portion of the JV1/JV2 buildings or other facilities in order to avoid incurring unnecessary costs, so long as Fujitsu continues to meet its obligations as set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) Fujitsu may at any time terminate the leases under the Equipment Lease Agreement with respect to any leased equipment that Fujitsu reasonably determines is no longer required so long as the termination is in accordance with the Equipment Lease Agreement.
2.7 The payments provided for in Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 above shall be Fujitsu' s and Spansion' s, respectively, sole remedies for (i) Spansion' s failure to satisfy the Minimum Purchase Commitment for the Initial Period or any minimum purchase commitment applicable to the Subsequent Period, and (ii) Fujitsu' s failure to make available to Spansion the Minimum Purchase Commitment for the Initial Period or any minimum manufacturing capacity applicable to the Subsequent Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Fujitsu shall have no liability or payment obligations whatsoever for failure to make manufacturing capacity available to Spansion if such failure results from (x) the ...
