Customer represents and warrants that it is authorized to provide to Artisan Components, and authorizes Artisan Components to use, the Required Data. 2.9 At Customer's direction, or upon Customer's consent, Artisan Components will distribute the Licensed Products (once completed) to Customer's customers, free of charge to Customer's customers, within [***] after execution by Artisan Components and the Customer's customer of an applicable End User License Agreement, for use by Customer's customer in designing, testing, and otherwise creating and verifying Designs for manufacture solely at Customer's Manufacturing Sites. For purposes of clarification, the parties agree that the only Licensed Products that Artisan Components shall be required to distribute to Customer's customers under this Section shall be Licensed Products that Artisan Components has previously delivered to Customer as completed deliverables. Artisan Components will distribute the Licensed Products pursuant to a separate agreement between Artisan Components and the Customer's customers governing the Customer's customers' use of the Licensed Products (the "End User License Agreement"), substantially in the same standard form and terms under which similar Artisan Components' products are provided to customers of leading foundries. Artisan Components shall offer support for the Licensed Products to Customer's customers pursuant to Artisan Components' customary support terms and fees. Such End User License Agreement, and any support agreement, shall be solely and exclusively between Artisan Components and Customer's customers. Artisan Components may charge its customary rates for support, maintenance, engineering and customization services provided by Artisan Components to any Customer's customer with no accounting to Customer for any such fees. With respect to support, Artisan Components agrees that Customer's customers may participate in its end user support programs. Currently, this program includes AccessBasic, a basic level of customer support for one type of Licensed Product, for [***] AccessFirst, a more comprehensive level of customer support for multiple Licensed Products, for [***] and AccessCustom, a customized support program for customers with special support needs that is priced on an individual basis. Customer's customers who are already paying Artisan Components for AccessFirst or AccessCustom support shall be entitled to receive support for the Licensed Products free of charge and at same level provided for the other Artisan Components products used by such customer. Manufacture will be permitted only at Customer's Manufacturing Site(s); provided, however, that Customer will pay to Artisan Components the agreed upon Royalties (as set forth in Section 7.2 of this Master License Agreement). --------------------- [***] THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURUSANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIALITY. 7 DRAFT DATED JUNE 24, 2002 3. SUPPORT CONDITION, SILICON DEBUGGING AND PRODUCT ENGINEERING 3.1 In consideration for the technical support and maintenance fees, [***] described in Appendix B-1 to the Product Schedule, Artisan Components will provide Customer with the technical support and maintenance described in Appendix C-1 to the Product Schedule, if applicable, for the Licensed Product(s). Such technical support and maintenance is available on an annual basis only and will be made available throughout the Term, on the terms and conditions set forth in Appendix C-1. 3.2 The design and verification techniques for the Licensed Product(s) used by Artisan Components depend on the accuracy of models, flows and design tools; some of which are provided by Artisan Components' licensees and their target foundries. Due to practical limits on the accuracy of these models, flows and design tools, the fabricated silicon behavior may not always agree with that predicted. In these cases, Artisan Components will assist Customer in silicon debugging and product engineering at Artisan Components' then current standard hourly rate plus applicable expenses. Silicon debugging and product engineering do not fall under the technical support and maintenance set forth in Section 3.1 above. To the extent Artisan Components provides any silicon debugging or product engineering, or otherwise provides Customer with any revisions and/or enhancements to the Licensed Product(s), except as otherwise agreed upon, such revisions and/or enhancements shall be Licensed Product(s) subject to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement. 4. TERM This Master Agreement is effective as of the Master Agreement Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of [***] unless earlier terminated as provided herein. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, this Master Agreement will automatically renew at the end of each term for consecutive one (1) year renewal periods, unless either party notifies the other at least [***] prior to the end of the then current term that it does not desire this Master Agreement to renew for another year. Each License Agreement shall set forth a License Agreement Term which shall be applicable to it. By way of clarification, a decision by either party not to renew the maintenance and support agreement (Appendix C-1 to the Product Schedule) will not mean termination of this Agreement, and the term of the maintenance and support agreement, as set forth in Section 7 of Appendix C-1 to the Product Schedule, may not be the same as the term of this Agreement. 5. ORDER, CHANGES AND DELIVERY TERMS 5.1 All orders for Licensed Product(s) shall be evidenced by a Product Schedule executed by Customer and Artisan Components, and in connection therewith, Customer may issue to Artisan Components a written purchase order. Except as otherwise agreed in writing signed by an officer of Artisan Components, nothing contained in any purchase order submitted by Customer will in any way modify, delete or add any terms or conditions to said purchases and licenses, and Customer hereby waives such purchase order provisions. --------------------- [***] THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURUSANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIALITY. 8 DRAFT DATED JUNE 24, 2002 5.2 Artisan Components shall use reasonable commercial efforts to (i) maintain the development schedule; (ii) make available such people and other development resources as are reasonably necessary for Artisan Components to complete its development obligations on a timely basis, consistent with the development projections supplied by Artisan Components; and (iii) complete the delivery of the Licensed Products according to the schedule and milestones as provided in the Appendix A-1 to the Product Schedule. Customer and Artisan Components shall jointly conduct milestone meetings or conference calls on a weekly or bi-weekly basis as needed and periodic engineering reviews to assess progress in the development of the Licensed Products. 5.3 Changes to the scope of work either requested by and/or necessitated by Customer's specifications will be evaluated for both schedule and cost impact. Customer will be asked to complete an Engineering Change Order Request Form, an "ECO," and submit it to Artisan Components for review. After review of the ECO by Artisan Components, Artisan Components will notify the Customer in writing on its ECO Response Form of any schedule and/or price changes. Customer must provide written acceptance or refusal of the terms and conditions of the ECO Response Form within [***] of having been so notified. Failure to do so will cause Artisan Components to proceed with the project as if the Customer's ECO Request Form had never been received. If Customer's written notice is one of acceptance of the new schedule and/or costs, then the ECO will be deemed an amendment to the License Agreement pursuant to Section 21.4 hereof. Sample ECO Request and ECO Response Forms are attached as Exhibits A and B. 6. OWNERSHIP 6.1 Subject to the licenses granted herein, Artisan Components and its licensors retain all of their rights, title and interest in and to the Licensed Product(s) and all patent rights, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, mask work rights and all other proprietary rights therein or relating thereto; provided, however, that Artisan Components' ownership shall not extend to cells or components owned by Customer that are not derived from the Licensed Products. Except for the licenses granted in Section 2, no other grants of licenses or rights to Customer shall be implied from this Master Agreement or the License Agreement. Customer will reproduce, and will not alter or mark over, all proprietary notices of Artisan Components on the Licensed Product(s). 6.2 Subject to Artisan Components' ownership of the Licensed Product(s), Customer shall retain all of its ownership rights to Designs created or derived through the Use of the Licensed Product(s). 6.3 Except for Customer's process information disclosed to Artisan Components under this Master Agreement or the License Agreement, Artisan Components will have the irrevocable royalty-free right to use in the Licensed Product(s), and any other products offered or distributed by Artisan Components, any Customer contribution or voluntarily disclosed information provided to Artisan Components under the Master Agreement or the License Agreement, except for Confidential Information of Customer, which shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 14 of this Agreement. 9 DRAFT DATED JUNE 24, 2002 7.

One Restricted Credit will be applied by Artisan Components only towards [***] of new License Fees and/or development fees for such products and/or services (other than the License and Customization Service Fees initially set forth in this Appendix B-1), and NOT royalty fees, for new/additional Licensed Product(s) ("New Orders") ordered by Customer under a subsequent Product Schedule (other than this Product Schedule) or ECO, if any; provided, however, that (i) the maximum amount of Restricted Credits to accrue for any process technology (including process derivatives) and be applied against New Orders may not exceed the total amount of Licensed Product(s) (Development Fees / License Fees/ Services Fees) orders placed by Customer for such process (including process derivatives)1 and (ii) the Restricted Credits may be applied only against New Orders set forth in a firm order from Customer within [***] of the date the Restricted Credits were accrued (date of accrual shall be the date Artisan Components receives the royalty fees that earned the Restricted Credits). The foregoing does not prohibit Customer from applying Restricted Credits earned from one process to purchases of products for another process. Restricted Credits have no cash value or refund value, and they may not be used for any purpose except as specifically set forth above as a credit to be applied by Artisan Components and authorized by Customer towards New Orders in accordance with all of the above. Any Restricted Credits which are not applied by Artisan Components towards New Orders as set forth above, for any reason, shall be deemed void. V. VERIFICATION PROCEDURE DRC VERIFICATION FOR MEMORY GENERATORS Artisan and Customer shall agree in writing to use a specific version of a [***] and runset for validating the memory generators listed above before Artisan commences work hereunder. Approximately [***] after the start of this project, Artisan will provide Customer with Artisan's quality assurance instance list. At least [***] prior to the intended delivery date, Customer may provide Artisan a list of up to [***] additional instances per generator (the "Instances") that it wishes to subject to DRC verification. Approximately, [***] prior to a product's intended delivery date of a memory generator deliverable, Artisan will provide Customer GDSII files of the Instances relevant to such deliverable (Prior to providing the GDSII files, Artisan shall have run DRC on the Instances using the agreed upon version of the DRC program and runset.). Within [***] of being provided an Instance, Customer will: (1) run DRC on the Instances using the agreed upon version of the DRC program and runset, and (2) report any DRC run errors, if any, to Artisan. If Customer identifies DRC run errors, then Artisan will work to correct such errors and redeliver the Instances to be retested by Customer (Artisan and Customer will repeat this process until such errors are corrected). If Customer reports to Artisan that there are no DRC run errors or does not report to Artisan, Artisan will proceed to finalize the memory generator deliverable for delivery to Customer. --------------------- [***] THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURUSANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIALITY. 1 For example, if the total amount of orders placed by Customer for the 0.18-micron process technology (including for Enhanced 0.18-micron) equals [***], then the maximum amount of Restricted Credits to accrue hereunder from royalties paid on the 0.18-micron Wafers is [***]. 34 DRAFT DATED JUNE 24, 2002 DRC VERIFICATION FOR STANDARD CELLS Artisan and Customer shall agree in writing to use a specific version of a [***] and runset for validating the standard cell deliverables listed above before Artisan commences work hereunder. Approximately, [***] prior to a product's intended delivery date of a standard cell deliverable, Artisan will provide Customer a GDSII file of the deliverable (Prior to providing the GDSII file, Artisan shall have run DRC on the GDSII file using the agreed upon version of the DRC program and runset.). Within [***] of being provided the GDSII file, Customer will: (1) run DRC on the GDSII file using the agreed upon version of the DRC program and runset, and (2) report any DRC run errors, if any, to Artisan. If Customer identifies DRC run errors, then Artisan will work to correct such errors and redeliver the GDSII file to be retested by Customer (Artisan and Customer will repeat this process until such errors are corrected). If Customer reports to Artisan that there are no DRC run errors or does not report to Artisan, Artisan will proceed to finalize the standard cell deliverables for delivery to Customer. --------------------- [***] THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURUSANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIALITY. 35 DRAFT DATED JUNE 24, 2002 APPENDIX C-1 TO PRODUCT SCHEDULE NO. 1 TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE This Support and Maintenance Appendix to License Agreement (this "Appendix"), upon due completion and execution hereof, serves to amend that certain License Agreement (the "License Agreement") comprised of that certain Master Agreement Number ____, dated _________, ____, and that certain Product Schedule Number ____, dated _________, ____, by and between Artisan Components, Inc., a California corporation, with its principal place of business at 141 Caspian Court, Sunnyvale, California 94089-1210 (hereinafter referred to as "Artisan Components"), and Tower Semiconductor Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel with its principal place of business at Ramat Gavriel Industry Zone, Migdal Haemek, 23105 Israel (hereinafter referred to as "Customer").

Due to practical limits on the accuracy of these models, flows and design tools, the fabricated silicon behavior may not always agree with that predicted. In these cases, upon Customer's request and upon a mutually agreed upon schedule, Artisan Components will assist the Customer in silicon debugging and product engineering at Artisan Components' then current standard hourly rate plus applicable expenses. Silicon debugging and product engineering do not fall under the support provisions set forth in this Appendix. Furthermore, Artisan Components has no obligation to provide any support or maintenance for any modifications made to the Licensed Product(s) by or for Customer (other than by Artisan Components). If Customer reports an error or requests information relating to use of the Licensed Product, such reported error or information request must relate to use of the Licensed Product(s) in the form as provided by Artisan Components. If Artisan Components spends any time or resources on any error reports or information requests that are found attributable to Customer's modifications (or how to make modifications to) the Licensed Product, Artisan Components may charge Customer Artisan Components' then current hourly engineering fees and out of pocket expenses for all time and resources expended by Artisan Components on such matter(s). Customer will pay any such invoices [***] from the date of the invoice. Artisan Components shall have no responsibility for analyzing or correcting errors in any third party software (other than to cooperate in providing information about the Licensed Product(s) to the Customer) or testing any third party software. Artisan Components shall not be responsible under this Appendix to modify Licensed Product(s) to operate with any new or different versions of third party software or any new third party software products. 7.

(A) Unless terminated as set forth hereunder, the maintenance and support to be provided hereunder shall be available on a yearly basis, with the initial yearly maintenance period beginning [***] after delivery of the Licensed Product(s) ([***]) and ending one (1) year later. Thereafter, unless either party notifies the other party otherwise, the term of this Appendix shall automatically renew on the anniversary date of the Maintenance Commencement Date for consecutive one (1) year terms, unless either party notifies the other party at least forty-five (45) days prior to the end of the current Appendix term that it does not desire this Appendix to renew. (B) This Appendix, which is made a part of the License Agreement, may be terminated as set forth in Section 9 of the Master Agreement (and this Appendix will terminate as part of any termination of the License Agreement). Termination of this Appendix does not necessarily mean termination of the Master License Agreement, but termination of the Master License Agreement will be considered to be termination of this Appendix. --------------------- [***] THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURUSANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIALITY. 40 DRAFT DATED JUNE 24, 2002 8.
