4. ARTICLE IV - PURCHASE COMMITMENTS & FORECASTS
4.1 Amkor and CIL shall have the right of first refusal with
respect to substantially all of the utilization of AICL's
capacity subject to the terms herein. In order to facilitate
an orderly and equitable capacity reservation and allocation
process, Amkor, CIL, and AICL agree that Amkor will coordinate
the process for commitment and allocation of AICL's capacity
among the Customers based on a mutually agreed upon set of
rules for equitably reserving and allocating AICL's capacity
(the "Commitment & Allocation Policy"). Amkor, CIL and AICL
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each month
from their Customers a six-month rolling forecast of such
Customers' requirements ("Forecasts"). Updates to said
Forecasts shall be communicated to Amkor as demand changes are
received from the Customers.
4.2 AICL will provide Amkor and CIL, on a monthly basis, a
six-month rolling capacity plan ("Capacity Plan") by package,
for packaging services, and by test platform, for test
services. AICL will further provide a weekly notification to
Amkor and CIL of any changes in delivery schedules or
equipment ratings to the Capacity Plan since the last monthly
report. In order to facilitate AICL's capacity planning and
materials procurement services, Amkor and CIL will include
with their Forecasts to AICL their assessment of these
Forecasts. AICL will use the Customers' Forecasts and Amkor's
and CIL's assessment of these Forecasts only as a guide of
anticipated requirements, and such Forecasts and judgements
will not constitute a commitment by either (i) AICL to Amkor
or CIL, or (ii) by Amkor or CIL to AICL. Such Customer
Forecasts will not constitute a commitment by the Customers to
furnish Die for packaging or testing in amounts at least equal
to their respective Forecasts.
4.3 In addition to the Forecasts, Amkor, CIL and AICL will
annually prepare a sales projection by month and by package
for the upcoming fiscal year ("Annual Plan") in order to
facilitate AICL's longer-range capacity and space planning.
AICL will use the Annual Plan only as a guide to anticipated
requirements and such projections will not constitute a
commitment by either (i) AICL to Amkor or CIL, or (ii) by
Amkor or CIL to AICL.
4.4 Amkor and CIL will consult with AICL prior to making
commitments to its Customers with respect to processing
specifications or cycle time. AICL will be obligated to
process all Die received from Amkor's and CIL's Customers in
accordance with the processing and cycle time specifications
agreed to by Amkor and CIL and their Customers and in
accordance with the commitments of capacity made by Amkor and
CIL to their Customers.
4.5 Immediately upon receipt of each lot of Die from the Customers
at either AICL's bonded warehouse in Korea or Amkor's shipping
office in San Jose, California, AICL will provide an accurate,
firm ship date for the completed packaged and/or
6 7
tested Products. For bulk Die receipts (i.e., Die shipments
from a given Customer for a given package that exceed the
current week's processing commitment as made by either Amkor
or CIL to the given Customer), AICL will immediately provide a
planned ship date for the quantity of Die exceeding the
current week's loading commitment. AICL shall commit that this
planned ship date will be considered a "not later than" ship
date by Amkor, CIL and the Customer.
4.6 In the event that Customers of Amkor or CIL send Die that has
not been Forecasted or committed to AICL ("Unforecasted Die")
for Packaging Services, AICL will be obligated to perform the
requested services within the agreed upon cycle time for those
Customers, provided that AICL's capacity and raw materials
inventory, at that point in time, on the line in question is
sufficient to satisfy the cycle time commitments for the Die
already awaiting production plus the Unforecasted Die, and
also provided that Amkor or CIL has engaged such Customers'
business as evidenced by a Customer Contract.
4.7 In the event that the volume of Customer Die awaiting
