(SEAGATE LOGO)
     17.2. No Intellectual Property Rights Granted. Except as expressly provided, this Agreement does not grant either party any right to the other party’s patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or other forms of intellectual property.
     17.3. Assignment. Due to the nature of each party’s duties and Seagate’s reliance on Komag’s performance in supplying Products, Seagate may assign this Agreement to any third party upon written notice to Komag, with Komag’s consent. Komag may assign this Agreement only with the prior written consent of Seagate. The transfer of a controlling ownership interest in Komag will constitute an assignment for purposes of this section. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
     17.4. Compliance with all Laws. Komag, and all Products supplied by Komag and work performed by Komag, must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect, including those governing environment, health and safety, and labor and employment practices. Komag must require that its sub-suppliers also comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect. Upon request, Komag will certify that it complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Seagate may audit Komag to confirm Komag’s compliance with this Section.
     17.5. Export Controls. Each party will comply with all applicable export, re-export and foreign policy controls and restrictions imposed by the U.S. and the country in which they are located, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Komag may not export, re-export or allow to be disclosed, any technical data received from Seagate or the product of any technical data to any person or destination to the extent prohibited by law.
     17.6. English Language; Governing Law. English is the authoritative text of this Agreement, and all communications and proceedings must be conducted in English. If this Agreement is translated, then the English language version will control. The laws of the State of California, USA govern this Agreement, without regard to any conflicts of laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
     17.7. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other if its performance is delayed by acts of nature beyond its control. If a force majeure condition prevents Komag’s performance for more than 60 days, then Seagate may terminate this Agreement or cancel any unfilled orders without liability owed to Komag.
     17.8. Severability; Survival. The terms of this Agreement are severable. If any term is unenforceable for any reason, then that term will be enforced to the fullest extent possible, and the Agreement will remain in effect. All obligations that by their terms or nature survive termination of this Agreement will continue until fully performed.
     17.9. Written Amendments; Electronic Business Transactions. This Agreement may be changed only by written amendment signed by both parties. The parties may exchange electronic documents in lieu of printed purchase orders, order acknowledgments, or forecasts. Komag will comply with Seagate’s designated system of exchanging electronic documents and will bear its own costs to participate in the system. Neither party will contest the validity or enforceability of electronically transmitted purchase orders or order acknowledgments on the grounds that they fail to comply with the Statute of Frauds or similar laws requiring that contracts be in writing (such as UCC Section 2-201 or any state-law equivalent). Neither party is prohibited from asserting that an electronic document is invalid for any reason that would also invalidate a written document.
     17.10. Entire Agreement; No Waiver; Notices. This Agreement and the documents referred to in it are the entire agreement of the parties with respect to this subject matter, superseding all prior or contemporaneous agreements. No failure or delay in exercising any right will be considered a waiver of that right.

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE DOCUMENTATION
For Product that must be cleared through customs, Komag must provide customs documentation (sometimes referred to as a “proforma invoice” or “customs invoice”) for the purpose of facilitating customs clearance. The customs documentation must be in English and must include the following information:
1. SHIPPING INFORMATION
  §   Date of shipment;
 
  §   Invoice number and shipment number;
 
  §   Seagate purchase order number;
 
  §   Shipper name and address;
 
  §   Ship to party (name and address including attention party if available) and bill to party (name and address);
 
  §   Custom Broker (name);
 
  §   Shipments from all countries, except China or Hong Kong, using wood pallets must state “the solid wood packing materials are totally free from bark, and apparently free from live plant pests”;
 
  §   Shipments from China or Hong Kong, not using solid wood packing materials (“SWPM”) must state “this shipment contains no SWPM.” If SWPM is used, a separate Chinese or Hong Kong government issued certificate of fumigation is required”;
 
  §   Name, contact information and signature of responsible individual — must be a responsible employee of the exporter who has knowledge or who can readily obtain knowledge of the transaction;
 
  §   Incoterm and named place; and
 
  §   Shipment gross weight.
2. PRODUCT INFORMATION
  §   Description of Product, grade or quality, as well as marks, numbers, and symbols under which the Product is sold, if applicable — for product description, use generic terms by which each item is commonly known.
 
  §   Product quantities, including quantity of Product per each individual package/box, the number of packages/boxes, the number per pallet, the number of pallets, and the corresponding weights – the information must be sufficiently detailed to enable identification and matching of Product in the shipment against line items on the shipping invoice;

(SEAGATE LOGO)
  §   Total purchase price and terms of payment – customs regulations require every shipping invoice accurately reflect the price to be paid by Seagate. The shipping invoices are used to declare the value of the imported Product for customs entry. Accordingly, 100% accuracy is required. Post-shipment price increases can render declarations inaccurate; therefore, price increases may not be applied to Product already shipped or in JIT or VMI inventories.
Any goods or services furnished to Komag for the production of the Product not included in the invoice price (e.g. assists such as dies, molds, tools, engineering work) — however, goods or services furnished in the destination country are excluded.
4. GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY PROGRAMS
In addition to the customs documentation listed above, Komag will provide Seagate with verification that they have reviewed their supply chain processes and have the appropriate security measures in place to guard against cargo theft and cargo terrorism. Komag will conduct a self-audit of its transit lanes and of the carriers that are bringing the Products into the USA.
If Komag is eligible to participate in the US Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (“C-TPAT”) program, Seagate may require that supplier apply for participation and Komag will provide Seagate with written updates regarding the status of Komag’s C-TPAT application every 90 days. Upon acceptance, Komag will provide Seagate with a copy of its Memorandum of Understanding with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and a copy of its C-TPAT compliance certificate.
Seagate may require Komag to apply for and participate in similar programs in other jurisdictions as they are implemented and as Komag becomes eligible, such as the New Computerized Transit System (“NCTS”) proposed for the European Union.

1.0   APPLICABILITY
This Specification applies to:
    All parts, components, subsystems and materials (“Products”) that are supplied for assembly into products sold by Seagate, and
 
    All packaging (“Packaging”) for Seagate products that reach final customers, and all collateral materials (such as instruction manuals, advertising, etc.) that will be delivered with the product.
This Specification does not apply to indirect materials that are supplied to Seagate unless these are assembled into Seagate products.
2.0   PURPOSE
The purpose of this Specification is to establish specific requirements for Products that are supplied to Seagate to ensure that Seagate disc drives meet regulatory and customer requirements. The requirements of this Specification are based on Seagate’s internal Product Stewardship Standard Operating Procedure, which is periodically updated to reflect the following:
    Requirements of legislation in countries where Seagate products are sold or manufactured, and
 
    Requirements of customers regarding products, packaging, user documentation, and manufacturing processes.
3.0   REQUIREMENTS AND DOCUMENTATION
  3.1   Requirements. Products, Packaging and manufacturing processes must meet the requirements of this Specification. Suppliers must ensure that Products and Packaging do not contain the restricted materials and substances listed in Section 4.0 of this Specification, in amounts exceeding the specified limits. In addition, Products must meet the requirements in Section 5.0.
 
  3.2   Compliance Documentation. Suppliers will be required to report on the status of their compliance with this Specification during qualification of their Products and Packaging with Seagate and at other times designated by Seagate. To report status of compliance, Suppliers must complete a Product Stewardship Certificate and/or other documentation as specified by Seagate. The current version of the Product Stewardship Certificate that must be used by suppliers to report status of compliance can be obtained from the Seagate Supplier Quality Engineering organization. If the Supplier’s Product contains plastic (including external cables), resin, rubber, paint or ink, an analytical report indicating presence of cadmium (see Section 5.0) must also be provided. In addition, Seagate may require analytical testing for the presence of additional compounds for selected parts, components or materials. Unless specifically requested, however, suppliers are not required to provide analytical results in support of their Certificate.
A supplier must notify Seagate if they determine at any time that their Product is not in compliance with this Specification. Seagate will work with the supplier to evaluate and resolve the non-compliance.

5.0 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTS, COMPONENTS, SUBSYSTEMS AND MATERIALS CONTAINING PLASTIC, RUBBER, PAINT OR INK
For plastic parts >25g, the part name/number, type of plastic used, flame retardant type, plastic brand name, and plastic model name must be included in the Product’s specification. Plastic parts of any weight must be of one polymer or compatible polymers, except for large cases, which must be of no more than two types of polymer that are separable.
For plastic parts >25g, the part must not have paint, lacquer, or varnish, which as dry matter increases the weight of the plastic part by more than 1%, and no in-mold decoration (IMD).
Plastic parts >25g must have a permanent visible marking in accordance with ISO 11469; plastic parts <25g, but having adequate surface area (minimum 14mm X 70mm) for marking, must also have a permanent visible mark in accordance with ISO 11469.
Plastic components >100g must be made from the same type of plastic.
ICP-AEP testing of a representative sample is required for Products that contain plastic (including external cables), resin, rubber, paint or ink, including semiconductor/IC housings and connector housings.
Standards for measurement are as follows:
1) Pre-conditioning: Typical examples are as follows:
    Wet decomposition method specified in BS EN 1122; 2001, “Plastics—Determination of cadmium—Wet decomposition method”;
 
    Incineration under the existence of sulfuric acid; and
 
    Pressurized acid decomposition done in a sealed container (a microwave decomposition method).
Precipitates must be dissolved using established methodology.
2) Measurement method: Use any one of ICP-AES (OES) (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic [Optical] Emission Spectroscopy) or AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy), or ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy).
3) Laboratory analysis must be performed by an independent, third party government-certified (if applicable) laboratory. Laboratory reports must reference the applicable Seagate Part Number.
