Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 4, 2024, Intel Ireland Limited (“Intel Ireland”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation (“Intel” and, together with Intel Ireland, “we,” “our” or “us”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with AP Grange Holdings, LLC (“Co-Investor”), an entity formed at the direction of and managed by certain affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. ("Apollo").
The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that, upon its terms and subject to certain conditions, Co-Investor will acquire from Intel Ireland a 49% ownership interest in Grange Newco LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“JV Company”) formed by Intel Ireland in connection with Fab 34, Intel’s leading-edge fabrication facility designed for manufacturing wafers using the Intel 4 and Intel 3 process technologies in Leixlip, Ireland, for approximately $11 billion (the “Purchase Price”). The remaining 51% ownership interest in JV Company will remain under the ownership of Intel Ireland.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that, on the closing of the contemplated transaction, Intel Ireland and Co-Investor will enter into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of JV Company (the “Limited Liability Company Agreement”), the form of which is attached to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Limited Liability Company Agreement sets forth each member’s rights and responsibilities with respect to JV Company, including with respect to the board of managers (a majority of which will be appointed by Intel Ireland), certain supermajority approval rights in favor of Co-Investor, mechanisms for required and discretionary capital calls to fund JV Company liabilities, limitations on transfers by the members, a call right exercisable by Intel Ireland beginning approximately 7.5 years following the date Fab 34 is substantially complete (or earlier upon the occurrence of certain triggering events), a conversion right exercisable by Co-Investor approximately 12.5 years following the date Fab 34 is substantially complete whereby Co-Investor may elect to convert its units of JV Company into shares of Intel based on its remaining economic interest (subject to the Intel call right), and a right of first offer for Intel Ireland if Co-Investor desires to sell its units of JV Company. The Limited Liability Company Agreement also sets forth distribution mechanics, pursuant to which JV Company shall make quarterly distributions of available cash (subject to certain limitations, including for operating costs and reserves) to its members generally in proportion to their ownership interests.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants from JV Company, Intel Ireland and Co-Investor. The representations, warranties and covenants of each party set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement have been made only for purposes of, and were and are solely for the benefit of the parties to, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and investors should not rely on them as statements of fact.
The closing is subject to limited customary conditions. The parties expect to close the transactions in the second quarter of 2024. The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides certain termination rights for both Intel Ireland and Co-Investor, including if the closing does not occur on or before August 31, 2024 and Intel Ireland or Co-Investor validly terminates the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
The foregoing summaries of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Limited Liability Company Agreement do not purport to be a complete description of all parties’ rights and obligations and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements (or the form thereof), which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this report, and which may be amended or revised by mutual agreement of the applicable parties as provided therein.
Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 4, 2024, Intel and Apollo issued a joint press release announcing the entry into the Purchase and Sale Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by this reference.
The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Item 8.01 Other Events.

In connection with the execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Limited Liability Company Agreement, the parties will enter into certain ancillary agreements which generally provide Intel or Intel Ireland, as applicable, with rights and obligations with respect to the construction, commissioning, operation, management, maintenance, utilization and purchase of wafers produced in Fab 34 consistent with their ordinary course practices with respect to such matters but subject to agreed minimum wafer fab performance standards and minimum wafer purchase obligations by Intel. Intel Ireland will retain full ownership of Fab 34 and any and all intellectual property rights arising from, relating to or in connection with the activities of and services to JV Company. Specifically, these ancillary agreements provide that:
JV Company will acquire from Intel Ireland rights to cause and direct the operation of Intel Ireland’s Fab 34



facility, allowing JV Company to direct the manufacture of wafers from Fab 34 for the benefit of JV Company;
JV Company will engage Intel Ireland to operate and maintain Fab 34, with Intel Ireland agreeing to minimum performance standards including with respect to production, availability, and yield, and to provide administrative services to JV Company;
Intel Ireland agrees with JV Company and Co-Investor to complete the construction and commission of Fab 34, including the achievement of certain timing and capacity milestones, with substantial completion of Fab 34 targeted for June 2026;
JV Company and Intel Ireland will allocate risk of loss and set out insurance matters relating to Fab 34 whereby JV Company will bear the risk of certain portions of certain categories of losses;
Intel agrees to purchase wafers from JV Company for itself and/or for marketing and sale to third-party customers, with Intel agreeing to minimum volume commitments for its demand for wafers, preferential loading of Fab 34 relative to other Intel fabs running the same process and tooling, and pricing of wafers at manufacturing cost plus an agreed upon margin, and the payment of liquidated damages in various circumstances if Intel fails to meet its minimum volume commitments; and
Intel provides a parent guarantee with respect to the obligations of Intel Ireland.
Under the various ancillary agreements, Intel or Intel Ireland may be required to pay liquidated damages or termination payments under a variety of underperformance, breach, termination or other scenarios in such amounts as to enable JV Company to distribute in respect of Co-Investor's units an amount up to 140% of the Purchase Price.

information to an Intel Competitor); provided further, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict disclosures to the service personnel of any original equipment manufacturer servicing such equipment installed in Fab 34 under the Construction Annex.

and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements or against the Debt Financing Sources, (x) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason (or the courts in New York as described in the case of the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements or against the Debt Financing Sources), (y) that it or its property (as applicable) is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (z) that (i) the suit, action, or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action, or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or the subject matter hereof, the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Each Party acknowledges that it shall be inadequate and impossible, or both, to measure in money the damage to each other Party, in the event that the Closing is not consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or if any Party fails to comply with the covenants and agreements herein, and in the event of any such failure, each Party shall not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Therefore, each Party agrees that any of the other Parties may seek an injunction or the enforcement of other equitable remedies against such Party at the suit of an aggrieved Party without the posting of any bond or security, to compel specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, waives any defenses thereto, including the defenses of (a) failure of consideration, (b) breach of any other provision of this Agreement and (c) availability of relief in damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees a Party may raise in response to any action for equitable relief that such Party contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will Intel Member or any of its Affiliates have any rights or claims, and will not seek any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Sources in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing.

Additional Capital Contribution to the Company, the Board shall revise Schedule 1.7 to reflect such Capital Contribution.
Section 1.8    Units. The interests of the Members in the Company are represented by one class of units referred to as the “Units”. Each Unit represents an ownership interest in the Company, is designated as a Unit of the Company and is entitled to the Distributions provided for in Article 2.

Promptly following the issuance of any additional Units, the Board shall cause the books and records and the register of Members of the Company to reflect the number of Units issued and the Members holding such Units.

No additional Units shall be issued in connection with any Capital Contribution made by a Member in respect of its Required Capital Contributions or Discretionary Capital Contributions (including any Additional Co-Investor Contributions).
(b)    Each Member shall fund any Capital Contribution in cash, except with the approval of the Board (and receipt of any Required Supermajority Approval), in which case, (i) any such in-kind Capital Contributions shall be valued at Fair Value and effected by a written assignment or such other documents as the Board shall direct to perfect the Company’s interest
3



in such in-kind Capital Contributions, and (ii) Schedule 1.7 shall be updated to (A) delineate between cash and in-kind Capital Contributions, as applicable, and (B) reflect the Fair Value of any in-kind property contributed to the Company in accordance with Section 1.7.
Section 1.12    Additional Capital Contributions.
(a)    Generally. In addition to the initial Capital Contributions of each Member, each Member shall make additional Capital Contributions from time to time as set forth in a Capital Call made in accordance with this Section 1.12 (such Capital Contributions, “Additional Capital Contributions”). All Capital Contributions by any Member shall be funded in cash, except with the receipt of any Required Supermajority Approval by the Board and in accordance with Section 1.11(b).
(b)    Capital Calls. From time to time, the Board may issue capital calls (each, a “Capital Call”) to the Members in its discretion. Such Capital Calls shall consist of Required Capital Calls as provided in Section 1.12(c) and Discretionary Capital Calls as provided in Section 1.12(d). Upon the Board determining to issue a Capital Call for Additional Capital Contributions in accordance with this Section 1.12, the Board shall deliver to the Members a written notice (each, a “Capital Call Notice”) of the Company’s need for Additional Capital Contributions, which Capital Call Notice shall specify in reasonable detail:
(i)    the purpose for such Additional Capital Contributions, and whether such Additional Capital Contributions (or any portion thereof) constitute (1) a Required Capital Call and/or (2) a Discretionary Capital Call;
(ii)    the aggregate amount of such Additional Capital Contributions;
(iii)    each Member’s share of such aggregate amount of Additional Capital Contributions as determined in accordance with this Section 1.12; and
(iv)    the date, which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date that such Capital Call Notice is given, on which such Additional Capital Contributions shall be required to be made by the applicable Members.
(c)    Required Capital Contributions.
(i)    The Board shall issue Capital Calls to the Members requesting Members to make additional Capital Contributions (each, a “Required Capital Call”) solely to the extent that the Company does not have funds available therefor in the Operating Account. It is agreed that Required Capital Calls shall only be made with respect to the following amounts payable by the Company:
1.    with respect to each Fiscal Quarter, any Maintenance Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Operations and Maintenance Agreement) payable in accordance with the Operations and Maintenance Agreement, in an aggregate amount not to exceed twenty-
4



five million dollars ($25,000,000) per Fiscal Quarter, which aggregate amount shall be funded by Intel Member and Co-Investor Member based on each Member’s Pro Rata Share;
2.    with respect to each Fiscal Quarter, (x) the costs and expenses of employees of the Company and (y) the Quarterly Services Fee (as defined in the Administrative Services Agreement) shall be funded by Intel Member and Co-Investor Member based on each Member’s Pro Rata Share in accordance with the Administrative Services Agreement (it being understood that in no event shall any Required Capital Call for such costs, expenses and Quarterly Services Fee exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate per Fiscal Quarter); and
3.    with respect to each Fiscal Year, (A) the Annual Services Fee (as defined in the Risk of Loss Agreement) shall be funded by Intel Member and Co-Investor Member based on each Member’s Pro Rata Share in installments on a quarterly basis during such Fiscal Year in accordance with the Risk of Loss Agreement (it being understood that in no event shall any Required Capital Call for such Annual Services Fee exceed thirty-eight million dollars ($38,000,000) per Fiscal Year), and (B) any additional amounts payable or reimbursable under the Risk of Loss Agreement (including any Loss Event Payments) shall be funded by Intel Member and Co-Investor Member based on each Member’s Pro Rata Share; provided, that, in the case of clause (B), the maximum amount requested pursuant to a Required Capital Call in respect of any individual Force Majeure Casualty Event shall not exceed two-hundred million dollars ($200,000,000).
(ii)    Each Member shall be obligated to fund its Pro Rata Share (such contributions, “Required Capital Contributions”) of each Required Capital Call set forth in a Capital Call Notice issued in accordance with Section 1.12(b) and this Section 1.12(c). Co-Investor Member’s and Intel Member’s commitments to fund all Required Capital Calls shall each be a “Capital Commitment.” Failure to fund a Required Capital Contribution shall not be a breach of this Agreement. The maximum amounts of Required Capital Calls set forth above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, clauses (1) through (3) of Section 1.12(c)(i)) shall be reduced ratably with respect to any partial period. By way of illustration, if the Effective Date occurs halfway through a Fiscal Quarter, the maximum Required Capital Call in respect of the Quarterly Services Fee shall not exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000) for such partial Fiscal Quarter.
(iii)    No additional Units (or other debt or equity securities) shall be issued in respect of any Required Capital Contributions, other than a Member Loan issued in accordance with Section 1.13 and utilization of the Line of Credit (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not involve any issuance of additional Units or any other securities).
(iv)    The use of funds in the Operating Account to pay a Liability that would otherwise be subject to a Required Capital Call shall reduce the maximum amount of the applicable Required Capital Call set forth in this Section 1.12(c) that may be made in respect of such Liability. By way of illustration, if in a Fiscal Quarter there are thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000) of Maintenance Capital Expenditure Liabilities payable by the Company and ten million dollars ($10,000,000) of such Maintenance Capital Expenditure Liabilities are paid with
5



funds in the Operating Account, the maximum Required Capital Call in respect of the remaining Maintenance Capital Expenditure Liabilities for such Fiscal Quarter shall be fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000).
(d)    Discretionary Capital Calls.
(i) Any Capital Call that is not a Required Capital Call shall be a “Discretionary Capital Call”. Any Capital Call necessary to pay Company Net Liabilities in accordance with Section 1.11 shall be a Discretionary Capital Call. In the event that the Company has any Company Net Liabilities that are not otherwise paid using Extraordinary Receipts, or to the extent that the Board determines (which approval must include all of the Intel Managers) that any Additional Capital Contribution is necessary or advisable, the Board will issue (and Intel Member will cause the Intel Managers to approve) a Discretionary Capital Call for such Additional Capital Contribution; provided, that:
1.Co-Investor Member shall be entitled, but not required, to elect to fund up to its Pro Rata Share of any Discretionary Capital Call as a Discretionary Capital Contribution (any such amount funded by Co-Investor Member, an “Additional Co-Investor Contribution”), by delivering written notice to the Company of such election (including the amount of Additional Co-Investor Contribution to be funded) no later than ten (10) Business Days following Co-Investor Member’s receipt of the Capital Call Notice for such Discretionary Capital Call; provided, further, that, if Co-Investor Member does not deliver any such written notice in the timeframe allotted, then Co-Investor Member shall be deemed to have waived its rights to fund any portion of such Discretionary Capital Call; and
2. Intel Member shall be required to fund all of any such Discretionary Capital Call, other than any Additional Co-Investor Contributions that Co-Investor Member elected to fund. Any such amounts funded by Intel Member under this Section 1.12(d) shall be referred to as “Additional Intel Contributions” (together with any Additional Co-Investor Contributions, “Discretionary Capital Contributions”).
(ii)    No additional Units (or other debt or equity securities of the Company) and no Member Loan shall be issued in respect of any Discretionary Capital Contributions.
(iii)    In no event shall any Company Net Liabilities be paid for by the Company other than by using (x) Extraordinary Receipts (subject to any required approvals specified in Section 2.1(c)) or (y) Discretionary Capital Contributions.
(iv)    In no event shall amounts in respect of the Line of Credit be required to be paid with proceeds of Discretionary Capital Calls.
Section 1.13    Co-Investor Member Failure to Fund. If Co-Investor Member shall fail to timely fund (or, if earlier, as of the date that Co-Investor Member notifies the Company or Intel Member in writing that it will not fund) all or any portion of any Required Capital Contribution as required by a Required Capital Call issued in accordance with Section 1.12, then Intel Member shall be entitled, but not obligated, to, following written notice by Intel Member or
6



the Company to Co-Investor Member notifying Co-Investor Member of its failure to fund all or any portion of such Required Capital Contribution (any such amount not paid, the “Unfunded Required Capital Contribution Amount”), and Co-Investor Member failing to cure such failure within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, enter into loan agreement(s) or note(s) with the Company in the form of Schedule 1.13 and on the terms set forth below (such loan agreements or note(s), collectively, “Member Loans”), for Intel Member to loan the Unfunded Required Capital Contribution Amount to the Company, and cause the Company to execute such Member Loan. The following shall apply to Member Loans:
(a)    each Member Loan shall earn interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate equal to the Agreed Rate from the date that such Required Capital Contribution was due in accordance with a Required Capital Call until the date that a Capital Contribution in respect thereof is made. The proceeds of each Member Loan shall be delivered to the Company by Intel Member in immediately available funds. A Member Loan shall be deemed to have been made on the date that all of the proceeds are received by the Company. Each Member Loan shall be non-recourse and be repayable by and collectible from the Company only as set forth in this Section 1.13. The maturity date of a Member Loan shall be ninety (90) days after such Member Loan is made and, if not repaid in full by such date, shall automatically renew for successive ninety-day (90) periods; and
(b)    in the event that a Member Loan has been made and any portion of the principal of, or interest on, such Member Loan remains unpaid, all Distributable Cash that would otherwise be paid to Co-Investor Member based on its Pro Rata Share of the Company shall (until such Member Loan and interest thereon shall have been repaid in full) first be reduced, no less frequently than quarterly, by the amount necessary to repay any outstanding Member Loan pursuant to this Section 1.13, until the payment in full of all principal, interest and other amounts due in respect of such Member Loan, and paid to Intel Member in respect of the Member Loan (but deemed distributed to Co-Investor Member). Such payments by the Company to Intel Member shall be applied first to the payment of interest on the Member Loans owed by the Company (with interest on the oldest Member Loans paid first) and then to the repayment of the principal amounts of such Member Loans (with principal on the oldest Member Loans paid first); and
(c)    if, prior to the full repayment of any Member Loan, Co-Investor Member makes an Additional Capital Contribution to the Company (other than pursuant to a Capital Call Notice) in an amount such that, after applying such amount to payment of Member Loans in the order set forth herein, Intel Member has received an amount from such Additional Capital Contribution that is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the portion of such Member Loan, together with all unpaid interest accrued on such Member Loan, then Co-Investor Member shall be deemed to have contributed the remaining principal amount of such Member Loan to the Company, with the entire principal amount of such Member Loan, together with all interest accrued thereon, being deemed to have been repaid in full. Distributions of Distributable Cash by the Company to Co-Investor Member shall be reinstated prospectively upon the full repayment of all Member Loans and interest thereon to Intel Member. In addition, at any time during the
7



term of any Member Loan, the Company shall have the right to repay, in full, such Member Loan (including interest).
Section 1.14    Intellectual Property.
(a)    As among the Parties, Intel Member shall be and shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of all Intellectual Property or data conceived, made, originated provided, devised, developed, created, generated or first reduced to practice by or on behalf of the Company in connection with this Agreement, and for which ownership is not otherwise expressly addressed in the Main Project Agreements (“Created IP”). For clarity, Created IP excludes any of Co-Investor Member’s Confidential Information and includes rights in any data (other than Co-Investor Member’s Confidential Information) and any mask works, chip, module and other designs, bills of materials, information regarding equipment and materials used in connection with the Construction Annex or this Agreement, and information regarding the use thereof, techniques, processes, testing arrangements, ideas, inventions, works of authorship, drawings, formulae, algorithms, utilities, Production Tools, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, improvements, developments or discoveries, whether or not patentable, copyrightable or entitled to legal protection as a trade secret or otherwise, as well as any other Intellectual Property, that may be conceived, made, originated, provided, devised, developed, created, generated or first reduced to practice by or on behalf of Intel Member, its Affiliates or any Subcontractor in connection with the Equipment (as defined in the Construction Annex) pursuant to the Construction Annex or this Agreement. To the extent any right, title or interest in or to any Created IP may vest with the Company, Co-Investor Member or any Member other than Intel Member, each of the Company, Co-Investor Member and such other Member hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to Intel Member all right, title and interest, and all other incidents of ownership, in and to such Created IP. If the Company, Co-Investor Member or any Member other than Intel Member (or any of their Affiliates) retains any rights to such Created IP that cannot be assigned to Intel Member as a matter of Applicable Law, then the Company or such Member, as applicable, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Intel Member an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, paid-up, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), worldwide and unlimited license with respect to any such rights, for any and all purposes and through any and all means, now known or hereafter created or discovered, without restriction or obligation (including no obligation to account). In addition to the foregoing, for clarity, none of the Company, Co-Investor Member or any Member other than Intel Member (or their respective Representatives) shall have any right, title or interest in or to any Created IP, without limiting any license granted to the Company or Co-Investor Member under any other Main Project Agreement and without limiting Intel Member’s (or its Affiliate’s) contractual obligations pursuant to the Construction Annex, the Administrative Services Agreement, the Fab Availability Agreement, the Risk of Loss Agreement or the Operations and Maintenance Agreement.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (and without limiting the Members’ inspection rights regarding books of account and records under Section 6.3 of this Agreement or the Company’s rights under any Main Project Agreement, no right, title or interest in or to any Intellectual Property or data owned by, purported to be owned
8



by, or licensed to Intel Parent, Intel Member or any of their respective Affiliates, including any Created IP (collectively, “Intel IP”), will be disclosed, provided, transferred or licensed to Company, Co-Investor Member, any Member other than Intel Member or any Subcontractor of Intel Member (whether directly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Main Project Agreement, other than any Intellectual Property that may expressly be required to be disclosed, provided or licensed pursuant to any of the Main Project Agreements, and neither the Company nor any Member (other than Intel Member) is acquiring or receiving, and shall not acquire or receive, or otherwise have, any right, title or interest therein or thereto (it being acknowledged that any such Intellectual Property may be used by Intel Member (i) in its capacity as Operator under the Operations and Maintenance Agreement for Fab 34 as necessary for performance of the services thereunder or (ii) under the Construction Annex as necessary for performance of the Work hereunder). In addition to the foregoing, no Intel IP (nor any right, title or interest therein) may be encumbered by the Company or Co-Investor Member, and all Intel IP will in all circumstances, as among the Parties, remain the sole and exclusive property of Intel Member.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (other than, to the extent applicable, the limited rights granted under the Construction Annex), no license, immunity, release, interest, authorization or other right, title or interest in or to any Intellectual Property is granted or otherwise conveyed under this Agreement, whether directly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, by or on behalf of Intel Member or any of its Affiliates, nor is any of the foregoing acquired by Company, Co-Investor Member or any other Member (other than Intel Member) under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a warranty or representation by Intel Member (on behalf of itself or any of its Affiliates or Subcontractors) regarding Intellectual Property rights (including Intel IP), including as to the validity, enforceability, quality, scope, or sufficiency of any Intellectual Property, and all warranties and representations, express, implied or otherwise, with respect to such Intellectual Property are hereby disclaimed. As among the Parties, Intel Member shall have no obligation hereunder to prosecute, maintain, defend, enforce or otherwise assert any Intellectual Property, all of which will be controlled, as among the Parties, by Intel Member in its sole and absolute discretion.
(d)    Intel Member shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary rights and licenses of any third-party provider or any third-party technology that is reasonably necessary to perform the Work under the Construction Annex. Intel Member shall not be relieved from performing the Work under the Construction Annex due to Intel Member’s failure to obtain, license, or secure any such Intellectual Property, or any claim of infringement, misappropriation, or violation of Intellectual Property by a Third Party.
(e)    The Members acknowledge that Intellectual Property is valuable and unique, and that damages would be an inadequate remedy for breach of this Section 1.14 and the obligations of Co-Investor Member or any Member other than Intel Member under this Section 1.14 are specifically enforceable. Accordingly, Intel Member shall be entitled to seek equitable relief solely to cause Co-Investor Member or any Member other than Intel Member to take action, or refrain from taking action, pursuant to this Section 1.14. Any such relief shall be
9



in addition to, and not in lieu of, monetary damages or other rights and remedies that may be available to Intel Member at law or in equity, subject to Section 3.1.
ARTICLE 2
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS
Section 2.1    Separate Accounts; Distributions.
(a)    Operating Account.
(i)    At all times, the Company shall maintain an operating account (the “Operating Account”), separate from the Incentive Account and the Extraordinary Receipts Account. The Operating Account shall be funded with all cash and cash equivalents received by the Company (whether through revenue or other funds received by the Company), other than any proceeds from Economic Incentives and Extraordinary Receipts. Intel Member shall administer the Operating Account and payments therefrom, but, for the avoidance of doubt, the funds in the Operating Account may only be used for funding (i) amounts representing Pass Through Costs, (ii) Distributions pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1(f), (iii) amounts that would otherwise be subject to a Required Capital Call pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.12(c), (iv) Co-Investor Liabilities at the direction of Co-Investor Member pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1(e) with cash that would otherwise be distributed to Co-Investor Member, (v) Indemnity Payment Contributions with cash that would otherwise be distributed to the Member who owes such Indemnity Payment Contribution, Tax Indemnification Payments with cash that would otherwise be distributed to the Member who owes such Tax Indemnification Payment, and payments of other Tax Liabilities of the Company, (vi) payments in respect of Member Loans pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement with cash that would otherwise be distributed to Co-Investor Member, (vii) payments of principal and interest in respect of the Line of Credit from time to time (provided, that no payments of principal shall be made if the effect of such payment would be to cause the available amount of the Line of Credit to exceed two hundred twenty-five million dollars ($225,000,000)), and (viii) any costs and expenses of employees of the Company (it being understood that such costs and expenses of employees of the Company are Liabilities for which a Required Capital Call would be permitted to be made in accordance with Section 1.12(c) and are therefore subject to the last two sentences of this paragraph). For the avoidance of doubt, any Capital Contributions made in connection with a Margin Adjustment Event pursuant to Section 16.19 shall be deposited into the Operating Account. With respect to any Liabilities for which a Required Capital Call would be permitted to be made in accordance with Section 1.12(c) (e.g., Maintenance Capital Expenditures) but for the availability of funds in the Operating Account, the maximum amount of funds in the Operating Account that may be used to pay such Liabilities shall be the applicable maximum amount set forth in Section 1.12(c). By way of illustration, if in a Fiscal Quarter there are thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000) of Maintenance Capital Expenditure Liabilities payable by the Company, the maximum amount of such Liabilities that may be paid with funds in the Operating Account is twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000).
10



(ii)    Intel Member also hereby agrees to make advances to the Company from time to time to fund the Operating Account, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000) (the “Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used to fund amounts hereunder required or permitted to be paid using funds in the Operating Account, and seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000) of which shall be funded to the Operating Account at the Closing. Two hundred twenty-five million dollars ($225,000,000) of the Line of Credit shall be revolving. The Company’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note executed on the date of the Closing.
(iii)    All cash in the Operating Account will be managed by Intel Member and its Affiliates for the benefit of the Company.
(b)    Incentive Account. At all times, the Company shall maintain a segregated account (the “Incentive Account”), separate from the Operating Account and the Extraordinary Receipts Account. The Incentive Account shall be funded with any Economic Incentives (which shall be treated in accordance with Section 14.4) received by the Company in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon written notice of election at any time by Intel Member (subject to Applicable Law), the Company shall (i) distribute all or any portion of such amounts held in the Incentive Account (as directed by, and for the benefit of, Intel Member) to Intel Member in a special distribution (an “Incentive Distribution”), which, for clarity, such Incentive Distribution shall not be pro rata to all Members, or (ii) otherwise apply such amounts as directed by Intel Member, in each case, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of such Economic Incentives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any funds in the Incentive Account constitute Distributable Cash or Extraordinary Receipts or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be otherwise available to satisfy Company obligations unless otherwise agreed to by Intel Member.
(c)    Extraordinary Receipts Account. At all times, the Company shall maintain a segregated account (the “Extraordinary Receipts Account”), separate from the Operating Account and the Incentive Account. The Extraordinary Receipts Account shall be funded with any cash or cash equivalents received by the Company, other than from (i) Economic Incentives (which shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.1(b)), (ii) the sale of wafers (and/or the receipt of payments in lieu thereof), (iii) liquidated damages (other than as described in the next sentence), and (iv) Discretionary Capital Contributions required by Section 16.19 (collectively, “Extraordinary Receipts”). For the avoidance of doubt, the proceeds of a Co-Investor Termination Election or a Replacement Termination Payment shall be an Extraordinary Receipt. Such Extraordinary Receipts shall be deposited into the Extraordinary Receipts Account and applied as directed by the Board, with no Required Supermajority Approvals applicable, except that (A) the proceeds of any Co-Investor Termination Election shall be distributed ratably in accordance with the Members’ Pro Rata Shares of the Company promptly after receipt by the Company thereof, and (B) the use of proceeds of any Replacement Termination Payment shall be subject to the unanimous consent of the Board. Capital Contributions shall be Extraordinary Receipts unless otherwise directed by the Board.
11



(d)    Transfer of Funds Among Company Accounts. Intel Member shall be permitted to transfer funds from one Company Account to another Company Account solely and only to the extent such funds were originally deposited into such Company Account as a result of error as determined in good faith by the Board.
(e)    Co-Investor Liability. In the event of any Co-Investor Liability, the Company shall promptly notify Co-Investor Member in writing of the amount of such Co-Investor Liability, including a reasonably detailed basis for asserting that a liability is a Co-Investor Liability and a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount thereof (a “Co-Investor Liability Notice”). If Co-Investor Member fails to dispute any such Co-Investor Liability within twenty (20) Business Days of receiving the Co-Investor Liability Notice, then the determination of the Co-Investor Liability shall be final and binding. If Co-Investor Member disputes any such Co-Investor Liability, it shall deliver a written notice of such dispute to the Company (each, a “Dispute Notice”), with Intel Member in copy, within twenty (20) Business Days of Co-Investor Member’s receipt of the Co-Investor Liability Notice, and the Company and Co-Investor Member shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute, including mutual agreement on the amount of such Co-Investor Liability, within ten (10) Business Days of the Company’s receipt of the Dispute Notice. If (i) Co-Investor Member does not deliver a Dispute Notice during the twenty (20) Business Day period following Co-Investor Member’s receipt of the Co-Investor Liability Notice or (ii) Co-Investor Member delivers as Dispute Notice during the twenty (20) Business Day period following Co-Investor Member’s receipt of the Co-Investor Liability Notice and such dispute is later finally resolved and settled, providing that Co-Investor Member owes to the Company such Co-Investor Liability (the occurrence of the event described in clause (i) or (ii), the “Co-Investor Liability Trigger”), Co-Investor Member shall promptly pay to the Company (which in no event shall be more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the occurrence of the Co-Investor Liability Trigger) an amount equal to the Co-Investor Liability, together with interest thereon at the rate of the Agreed Rate from the date that such Co-Investor Liability was due until the date that the full amount of such Co-Investor Liability (including any interest thereon) is paid. If Co-Investor Member fails to pay the Co-Investor Liability when due, then the amount of Distributable Cash (or such lesser amount equal to the Co-Investor Liability if the Co-Investor Liability is for a lesser amount) that would have otherwise been allocated and distributed to Co-Investor Member in accordance with Section 2.1(f) on each subsequent Quarterly Date) shall instead be retained by the Company in full satisfaction of such Co-Investor Liability; provided, that, if the Co-Investor Liability exceeds the amount of Distributable Cash to be retained in accordance with this Section 2.1(e), then Co-Investor Member shall continue to be liable to the Company for the unpaid portion of the Co-Investor Liability until such amounts are repaid in cash by Co-Investor Member or able to be satisfied in full with Distributable Cash. Any amounts actually or deemed to be contributed by Co-Investor Member pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) shall be “Co-Investor Liability Contributions.”
(f)    Quarterly Distributions. On each Quarterly Date following the first sale of wafers by the Company under the Offtake Agreement, the Company shall make a Distribution to the Members in an aggregate amount equal to all Distributable Cash (or such greater amount determined by the Board), (i) unless the Board determines such Distribution is expressly prohibited by Applicable Law upon advice of outside counsel (after good faith
12



consultation with the Co-Investor and its outside counsel) and (ii) so long as, following the payment of such distribution, the sum of (x) cash that otherwise is Distributable Cash but for this clause (ii) remaining on deposit in the Operating Account and (y) availability under the Line of Credit, equals at least three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000). All such distributions of Distributable Cash shall be allocated among the Members based on their Pro Rata Share of the Company and, in each case, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that at any time when any amount is owing under a Member Loan, there exists a payment obligation in respect of a Co-Investor Liability or there exists an unpaid Tax Indemnification Payment or Indemnity Payment Contribution obligation, all Distributable Cash that would otherwise be paid to the liable Member shall be reduced by the amount necessary (or otherwise available) to make the applicable payment (which the Company shall make on behalf of such Member), until the applicable amount and all interest thereon has been paid in full). For the avoidance of doubt, no distributions out of earnings and profits of the Company shall be paid until both the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are true and there is available Distributable Cash. As between payments in respect of Member Loans and payments in respect of the Line of Credit, payments in respect of the Line of Credit shall be paid first.
(g)    Intel Parent Guaranty. Intel Member shall, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement by the Parties, provide the Intel Parent Guaranty to the Company. Any amounts paid or contributed to the Company by Intel Parent in its capacity as guarantor or any other credit support provider shall be deposited into the same account into which such proceeds would have been deposited if the applicable primary obligor had made the applicable payment or contribution itself.
Section 2.2    No Violation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a Distribution to any Member on account of such Member’s Units if such Distribution would violate any Applicable Law.
Section 2.3    Withholding; Tax Indemnity.
(a)    All amounts withheld by the Company pursuant to any change in Applicable Law after the date hereof for non-U.S. Taxes and non-Irish Taxes with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation by the Company to a Member, or which the Company is otherwise obligated to pay to any non-U.S. and non-Irish Governmental Authority pursuant to any change in Applicable Law after the date hereof for non-U.S. Taxes or non-Irish Taxes because of the status of (or that is otherwise attributable to) a Member (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments), shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement.
(b)    The Company is authorized to withhold from any payments or distributions to Intel Member or Co-Investor Member, and in each case, to pay over to the appropriate non-U.S. and non-Irish Governmental Authority, any such amounts required to be so withheld. Each of Intel Member and Co-Investor Member further agrees to indemnify the Company in full for any such amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.3, to the extent such amounts have not already been withheld from any payment or distribution to Intel Member or Co-Investor Member, and each of Intel Member and Co-Investor Member shall, promptly upon
13



notification of an obligation to indemnify the Company pursuant to this Section 2.3, make a cash payment to the Company (or the Board may offset Distributions to which Intel Member or Co-Investor Member, as the case may be, is otherwise entitled under this Agreement) equal to the full amount to be indemnified (and the amount paid shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution), with interest to accrue on any portion of such cash payment not paid in full when requested, calculated at a rate equal to the Agreed Rate (any such amount, together with any interest thereon, a “Tax Indemnification Payment”). Any obligation to make contributions to indemnify the Company under this Section 2.3 shall survive the transfer, forfeiture or other disposition of the indemnifying interest in the Company and the winding up, termination, dissolution, and liquidation of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 2.3, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence.
(c)    Any amounts withheld by the Company for Taxes pursuant to Applicable Law as of the date hereof, or for U.S. Taxes or Irish Taxes, with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation by the Company to a Member, or which the Company is otherwise obligated to pay to any U.S. or Irish Governmental Authority for U.S. Taxes or Irish Taxes (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments) of a Member, respectively, shall not be treated as amounts distributed to a Member for any purposes of this Agreement, and no Member shall have any indemnification obligation with respect to such Taxes.
(d)    Each of the Members shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such forms and documentation it is able to provide without undue burden as may reasonably be requested by the Company in order to make any payment, distribution or allocation to a Member without any deduction or withholding of U.S. Taxes or Irish Taxes, or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, and (ii) in the case of any Member, if there are any U.S. Taxes or Irish Taxes that would not have been deducted or withheld but for the failure for the Member to provide such forms or documentation pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i), such amounts shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise required by Law, upon an insolvency of the Company, no Member shall be obligated by this Agreement to return any Distribution to the Company or pay the amount of any Distribution for the account of the Company or to any creditor of the Company; provided, however, that if any court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable order that, notwithstanding this Agreement, any Member is
14



obligated to return or pay any part of any Distribution, such obligation shall bind such Member alone and not any other Member or any Board Member; provided, further, that if any Member is required to return all or any portion of any Distribution under circumstances that are not unique to such Member but that would have been applicable to all Members if such Members had been named in the lawsuit against the Member in question (such as where a Distribution was made to all Members and rendered the Company insolvent, but only one Member was sued for the return of such Distribution), the Member that was required to return or repay the Distribution (or any portion thereof) shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other Members that were not required to return the Distributions made to them based on each such Member’s Pro Rata Share of the Distribution in question. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are solely for the benefit of the Members and shall not be construed as benefiting any Third Party. The amount of any Distribution returned to the Company by a Member or paid by a Member for the account of the Company or to a creditor of the Company pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be added to the account or accounts from which it was subtracted when it was distributed to such Member.
Section 3.2    No Management or Control. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Required Supermajority Approvals) or as delegated by the Board, no Member shall take part in or interfere in any manner with the management of the business and affairs of the Company.
Section 3.3    Voting. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including Article 4 and Article 5 and Schedule 4.1 hereof) or as required by Applicable Law that cannot be waived, no matter or action will require the vote or approval of the Members. In the event any matter or action is required by Applicable Law to be submitted to a vote (or for the approval) of the Members and such Law cannot be waived, (a) the Units will vote together as a single class, (b) each Member shall be entitled to one (1) vote per Unit held by such Member, and (c) action by written consent in lieu of a meeting is expressly permitted if such written consent is provided to all Members in a reasonable amount of time (it being agreed that five (5) Business Days shall be deemed to be reasonable) prior to the execution thereof and is subsequently signed by Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Units entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

21



compliance and other personnel of Apollo Global Management, Inc. who are responsible for administering (or otherwise have a need to know about) Co-Investor Member’s investment in the Company) (“Apollo Personnel”), representatives and employees who (x) need access to such Confidential Information to directly support such Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement, including the Construction Annex and (y) are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as the obligations set forth herein, (ii) to such Receiving Party’s existing or prospective direct or indirect limited partners and equity holders so long as they are subject to confidentiality restrictions at least as restrictive as those set forth herein (and provided that, in the case of Co-Investor Member, the allowance of this clause (ii) shall be limited to financial information provided pursuant to Section 6.5(a)-(b) and, only as determined by Intel Member not to be commercially sensitive (and marked as not commercially sensitive by Intel Member), Section 6.5(c)(i) (collectively, “Financial Information”)), (iii) to the extent required to be disclosed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority, or by any stock exchange where the shares of any Person are listed, or by any Applicable Law, or by subpoena, summons or any other administrative or legal process, or by applicable regulatory standards, (iv) as required in connection with any government or regulatory filings, including filings with any regulating authorities covering the relevant financial markets, (v) to the extent necessary for the enforcement of any right of such Receiving Party arising under this Agreement, including the Construction Annex, (vi) to its attorneys, accountants, rating agencies, financial advisors or other agents, in each case, bound by the same or similar confidentiality obligations, (vii) to banks, insurers, investors and other equity or debt financing sources and their advisors, in each case, if the Person receiving the Confidential Information is bound by the same or similar confidentiality obligations (and provided that, in the case of Co-Investor Member, the allowance of this clause (vii) shall be limited to Financial Information), (viii) in connection with an actual or prospective merger or acquisition or similar transaction where the Person receiving the Confidential Information is bound by the same or similar confidentiality obligations, (ix) to the extent required to be disclosed on any Tax return or in connection with any audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes or to the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service (or any relevant state or local Taxing authority) in connection with Tax incentives, exemptions, deductions, abatements, exclusions or other benefits, and (x) to insurance agents to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including the Construction Annex; provided, however, that each of Co-Investor Member and the Company agrees that it will not disclose any Confidential Information of Intel Member to any Person that is an Intel Competitor or an Affiliate thereof (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall providing Confidential Information to Apollo Personnel in and of itself be deemed to be providing such information to an Intel Competitor); provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict disclosures to the service personnel of any original equipment manufacturer servicing such equipment installed in Fab 34 under the Construction Annex.
(c)    If a Receiving Party believes that it will be compelled to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party pursuant to any of sub-clauses (i) through (x) in Section 6.4(b), it shall give the Disclosing Party prompt written Notice so that the Disclosing Party may determine whether to take steps to oppose such disclosure. Except for disclosures pursuant to sub-clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (vii) of Section 6.4(b), a Receiving Party shall advise each Person to whom it provides the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information of the
22



confidentiality obligations in this Agreement, and a Receiving Party shall be liable to the Disclosing Party for any breach of such confidentiality obligations by any such Person to whom such Receiving Party has provided the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
(d)    The Parties shall cause the confidentiality provisions of this Section 6.4 to remain in full force and effect with respect to any Confidential Information until the date that is five (5) years after the date of the termination of this Agreement.
(e)    Except as is necessary for each Party’s obligations hereunder, including to perform the Work under the Construction Annex, at any time upon the request of the Disclosing Party, each Receiving Party shall promptly deliver to the Disclosing Party or destroy, if so directed by the Disclosing Party (with such destruction to be certified by such Receiving Party), all documents (and all copies thereof, however stored) furnished to or prepared by such Receiving Party to the extent that they contain Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and all other documents in such Receiving Party’s possession to the extent that they contain such Confidential Information (other than any Physical Deliverables (as defined in the Construction Annex)) delivered to Co-Investor Member by Intel Member as part of its performance of the Work under the Construction Annex, as contemplated by Section 5.3.3 of the Construction Annex); provided, that, such Receiving Party may retain copies of such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of complying with Applicable Law or professional standards or its audit and document retention policies so long as all such retained Confidential Information is held subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.4; provided, further, that, with respect to Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret, obligations under this Section 6.4 shall survive for so long as such information remains a trade secret.
(f)    The Parties acknowledge that the Confidential Information is valuable and unique, and that damages would be an inadequate remedy for breach of this Section 6.4 and that the obligations of each Party under this Section 6.4 are specifically enforceable. Accordingly, the Parties agree that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.4 by any Party shall entitle the other Parties to seek a decree compelling specific performance or granting injunctive relief with respect thereto, and shall be entitled, without the necessity of filing any bond, to enjoin any actual breach of this Section 6.4. Any such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, monetary damages or other rights and remedies that may be available to such Party at law or in equity, unless expressly prohibited or otherwise restricted by Article 17 of the Construction Annex or any other provision of this Agreement.
(g)    The Co-Investor Member and its Affiliates (including Apollo Global Securities, LLC) shall have the right to disclose its participation in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents by listing Intel Parent’s name and logo on its website and in its marketing materials, in each case, subject to Intel Member’s review and consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

of property impaired by such a Force Majeure Casualty Event shall reflect impairment only to the extent (i) in the case of an Insurable Casualty Event (as defined in the Risk of Loss Agreement), of the sum of (A) the excess of the Property Damages (as defined in the Risk of Loss Agreement) over the applicable Maximum Covered Loss Limit (as defined in the Risk of Loss Agreement), (B) the excess of the applicable Minimum Loss Amount over any amounts paid by the Company to Intel Member in cash under the Risk of Loss Agreement in respect of such Insurable Casualty Event, and (C) otherwise, any amounts paid by Intel Member to the Company in cash under the Risk of Loss Agreement in respect of such impairment, and (ii) in the case of a Non-Insurable Casualty Event (as defined in the Risk of Loss Agreement), of the sum of (A) the Property Damages (as defined in the Risk of Loss Agreement) and (B) any amounts paid by the Company to Intel Member in cash under the Risk of Loss Agreement in respect of such Non-Insurable Casualty Event.
(iv)    For purposes hereof, “Intel Improvement Value” means an amount equal to the Fab Asset Value attributable to items contributed by Intel Parent or any of its Affiliates to the Company or Intel Member or acquired by or made available to the Company or Intel Member (in the case of Intel Member, with respect to Fab 34) with funds that are not: (x) contributed to the Company by Co-Investor Member (with consideration paid by Co-Investor Member pursuant to the Purchase Agreement deemed, solely for purposes of this definition, to be contributed to the Company), (y) paid by the Company under the Risk of Loss Agreement to Intel Member with funds contributed ratably by the Members pursuant to a Required Capital Call, or (z) otherwise required to be deposited in the Operating Account; provided, that, Intel Improvement Value shall include the incremental positive change in net book value of (A) property replaced or restored as a result of an Intel Loss Event only to the extent it exceeds the net book value of the property that was impaired by such Intel Loss Event immediately prior to such Intel Loss Event, subject to updates to take into consideration depreciation subsequent to the occurrence of such Force Majeure Casualty Event or Intel Loss Event, and (B) property replaced or restored as a result of a Force Majeure Casualty Event in an amount equal to the sum of (1) solely if the applicable Total Damages exceed such Minimum Loss Amount and the Force Majeure Casualty Event is a Non-Insurable Casualty Event, the difference between (i) such net book value and (ii) any amounts paid by the Company to Intel Member in cash under the Risk of Loss Agreement in respect of such Non-Insurable Casualty Event, and (2) solely if the applicable Total Damages exceed such Minimum Loss Amount and the Force Majeure Casualty Event is an Insurable Casualty Event, the excess of such net book value over the applicable Maximum Covered Loss Limit. For the avoidance of doubt, any calculation of Intel Improvement Value will depreciate and be determined in the same manner as the calculation of Fab Asset Value.
(c)    Determination of Fab Asset Value and Intel Improvement Value.
(i) Intel Member’s determination of the Fab Asset Value and Intel Improvement Value in accordance with the methodology set forth in Section 10.2(b) shall become final and binding upon the Members on the thirtieth (30th)) day following written notice thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, any Member delivers to Intel Member written notice of its good faith disagreement with the Fab Asset Value or the Intel Improvement Value (the disputing Member, a “Disputing Member”, and such written notice of disagreement, a
35



Notice of Disagreement”), specifying the nature and amount of any disputed item (the “Disputed Matters”).
(ii) During the thirty (30)-day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by the Disputing Member to Intel Member (the “Resolution Period”), the Disputing Member and Intel Member shall submit such Disputed Matters to each of their respective senior executives, and such senior executives shall seek to resolve and negotiate in good faith the Disputed Matters within the Resolution Period.
(iii) If the Disputing Member and Intel Member have not resolved all of the Disputed Matters set forth in the Notice of Disagreement by the end of such thirty (30)-day period, the Disputing Member and Intel Member shall retain a Valuation Firm and submit, in writing, to the Valuation Firm their good faith views as to the correct nature and amount of each Disputed Matter remaining in dispute and the amount of the Fab Asset Value and the Intel Improvement Value, and the Valuation Firm shall make a written determination as to each such Disputed Matter and the amount of the Fab Asset Value and the Intel Improvement Value, which determination shall be final and binding on the Members for all purposes of this Agreement. The Valuation Firm shall make its determination as an expert and not an arbitrator, based solely on the information set forth in the Notice of Disagreement and not on the basis of an independent review. There shall be no ex parte communications relating to the Disputed Matter by any Member with the Valuation Firm. The Valuation Firm shall be authorized to (i) resolve only the Disputed Matters remaining in dispute between the Disputing Member and Intel Member, which their respective senior executives are unable to resolve during the Resolution Period, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2(c), and (ii) determine whether the Fab Asset Value and the Intel Improvement Value have been calculated in accordance with any other definition in this Agreement within the range of the difference between Intel Member’s position with respect thereto and the Disputing Member’s position with respect thereto. The Disputing Member and Intel Member shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Valuation Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within twenty (20) days following the submission thereof. Absent Fraud, conflict of interest, violation of the ex parte communication rule or manifest error, the determination of the Valuation Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members, and such determination shall be considered the Fab Asset Value and the Intel Improvement Value for the purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm shall be paid in inverse proportion by the Disputing Member and Intel Member as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Valuation Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Valuation Firm at the time that the determination of the Valuation Firm is rendered.
(d)    Cooperation. Co-Investor Member shall cooperate with Intel Member in calculating the Call Right Exercise Price.

Section 10.5    Co-Investor Default Call. In the event of an uncured default by Co-Investor Member of any of its payment obligations under Article II of the Purchase Agreement, and following a sixty (60) calendar day cure period (the last day of such period, the “Cure Period End Date”), Intel Member shall have the right to initiate its exercise of the Intel Call Right pursuant to this Section 10.5 (a “Co-Investor Default Call”), as follows:

In the event of any such redemption, Co-Investor Member shall take all such actions and procure and provide all such approvals as may be required to ensure such redemption can be effected.

ARTICLE 12
DUTIES
Section 12.1    Business Opportunities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity and any analogous doctrine will not apply to any Exempted Person. The Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Economic Incentives with respect to any other project) that are known or from time to time presented to an Exempted Person, including with respect to those set forth on Schedule 12.1. Without limiting any express agreement of the Members or their respective Affiliates pursuant to the Fab Availability Agreement, each Exempted Person who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement, Economic Incentive or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Company, including with respect to those set forth on Schedule 12.1, (a) will not have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company and (b) will not be liable to the Company or to the Members of the Company because such Exempted Person pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to, itself or another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Company.
Section 12.2    Reliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Exempted Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company for such Person’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever in this Agreement any Board Member (other than a Person who is also an officer or employee of the Company) is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in such Person’s discretion or under a grant of similar authority, such Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Exempted Person desires, including the interests of such Person’s and Affiliates thereof, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any
41



consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company, any Member, any Board Member or any other Person, or (b) in such Person’s good faith or under another express standard, such Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards; provided, however, that such Persons shall not take any actions in contravention of their duties set forth in Section 12.3.
Section 12.3    Duties. Without limiting the applicability of any other provision of this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 12.1 and the other provisions of this Section 12.3, the following provisions, as applicable, shall be applicable to the Board and the members thereof in their capacity as members of the Board and to officers of the Company in their capacity as officers of the Company, as applicable:
(a)    Each Board Member and officer of the Company shall act in good faith in performing his or her duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Board Member, in his or her capacity as a Board Member, shall have any fiduciary or other duty to the Company, any Member, any other Board Member or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, other than such Board Member’s express obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) no officer of the Company, in his or her capacity as an officer of the Company, shall have any fiduciary or other duty to the Company, any Member, any other officer of the Company or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, other than such officer’s express obligations under this Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, whenever a Board Member, in his or her capacity as a Board Member, or an officer of the Company, in his or her capacity as an officer of the Company, is permitted or required to make a decision or take an action or omit to take an action (including wherever in this Agreement that any Board Member or officer of the Company is permitted or required to make, grant or take a determination, a decision, consent, vote, judgment or action at its “discretion,” “sole discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude), such Board Member or officer of the Company shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors, including his or her own (or those of the Member that appointed such Board Member or officer of the Company), as such Board Member or officer of the Company desires, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any other interest or factors whatsoever.
(b)    To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Board Member or officer of the Company shall be liable to the Company, to any Member or to any other Board Member or officer of the Company, respectively, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission (in relation to the Company, any transaction, any investment or any business decision or action, including for breach of duties, including fiduciary duties) taken or omitted by such Board Member or officer of the Company, respectively, unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of such act or omission, and taking into account the acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Agreement, such Board Member or officer of the Company engaged in bad faith, Fraud or willful or intentional misconduct or criminal wrongdoing; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect (i) the scope or applicability of Co-Investor Liabilities or (ii) a Board Member’s or officer’s liability with respect
42



to a breach of the express terms of this Agreement applicable to such Board Member or officer of the Company.
(c)    Any Board Member or officer of the Company, in his or her capacity as a Board Member or officer of the Company, respectively, shall be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement and on the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals that is provided to the Company or such Board Member or officer of the Company, respectively, and such Board Member or officer of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for such reliance on this Agreement or such advice; provided, however, that there has not been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of such reliance, and taking into account the acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Agreement, such Board Member or officer of the Company engaged in bad faith, Fraud or willful or intentional misconduct or criminal wrongdoing.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.3, the limitations set forth herein shall not limit the duties or obligations of any Member or Board Member who is also an officer or employee of the Company from performing such duties in accordance with any employment or similar agreement, any policies or procedures applicable to such Person in such capacity or any duty or obligation in such capacity arising under Applicable Law.
Section 12.4    Board Member and Officer Indemnification.
(a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.4(f), the Company shall indemnify any Board Member or officer of the Company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (each, a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Board Member or officer of the Company, against any and all losses, claims, expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees), costs, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Board Member or officer of the Company in connection with such Proceeding; provided, however, that such Board Member or officer of the Company shall not be indemnified by the Company if there has been a final and nonappealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which such Board Member or officer of the Company is seeking indemnification hereunder, and taking into account the acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Agreement, such Board Member or officer of the Company committed bad faith, Fraud or willful or intentional misconduct or criminal wrongdoing. Any indemnification provided hereunder shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Company (including available insurance coverage, if any), as an expense of the Company and, accordingly, no Board Member or officer of the Company shall be subject to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.
(b)    Except as provided in Section 12.4(c), any indemnification under this Section 12.4 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of a Board Member or officer of the Company is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of
43



conduct set forth in Section 12.4(a). The determination of whether a Board Member or officer of the Company has met the standard of conduct that entitled it to indemnification hereunder shall be made by the Board. To the extent that a Board Member or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 12.4(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Board Member or officer of the Company shall be indemnified against expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Board Member or officer of the Company in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
(c)    Upon written request by a Board Member or officer of the Company, the Company shall pay reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred (or reasonably expected to be incurred) by such Board Member or officer of the Company in defending or investigating a Proceeding in advance of (a) the final disposition of such Proceeding and (b) the determination of whether such Board Member or officer of the Company has met the standard of conduct that entitles such Board Member or officer of the Company to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, prior to payment (or advancement) by the Company of any such expenses, the Board Member or officer of the Company shall provide an unsecured undertaking to the Company to repay all such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that such Board Member or officer of the Company is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Section 12.4; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay or advance to any Board Member or officer of the Company any amounts in connection with a Proceeding initiated by (i) such Board Member or officer of the Company, (ii) the Company, (iii) Intel Member or any of its Affiliates (in the case of any Intel Manager) or (iv) Co-Investor Member or any of its Affiliates (in the case of any Co-Investor Manager).
(d)    The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section 12.4 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, contract, a vote of the Board or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action of a Board Member or officer of the Company in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The provisions of this Section 12.4 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any Person who is not specified in Section 12.4(a), but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Act or otherwise.
(e)    The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 12.4 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of a Board Member or officer of the Company. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 12.4(e) or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on liability of the Board Members or officers of the Company, or terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Board Members or officers of the Company, under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.4 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters
44



occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.4 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to indemnify a Board Member appointed by Co-Investor Member in connection with liabilities that constitute Co-Investor Liabilities, except to the extent Co-Investor Member makes a Co-Investor Liability Contribution and then, such indemnification obligation shall be limited to the aggregate amount of the Co-Investor Liability Contribution.
Section 12.5    Co-Investor Member Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Co-Investor Member and its Affiliates and each of its and their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, investment managers, managers, employees, agents, successors, transferees, assignees and representatives of any of the foregoing (the “Co-Investor Indemnified Parties”) who is party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees), costs, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Co-Investor Indemnified Party in connection with such Proceeding, in each case, solely to the extent that (a) if such Proceeding does not arise out of any actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property of a Third Party, such Proceeding arises out of a willful act or omission by Intel Member, and (b) in all cases, (i) if such Proceeding arises out of or is related to the operation of the Company, production of the wafers of the Company or any other related matter and (ii) does not constitute a Co-Investor Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification pursuant to this Section 12.5 shall be a Company Net Liability.

The appointment of each member of the Board as such Member’s attorney-in-fact to act on its behalf for purposes of this Section 16.5 is irrevocable and is intended to secure a proprietary interest of the donee of the power in recognition of the fact that each of the Members under this Agreement will be relying upon the power of the Board to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing and other action by him, her or it on behalf of the Company, and will survive the bankruptcy or dissolution of any Member giving such power and the transfer or assignment of all or any part of such Member’s Units; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer by a Member of all of its Units, the power of attorney given by the Transferor will survive such assignment only until such time as the transferee will have been admitted to the Company as a substituted Member and all required documents and instruments will have been duly executed, filed, and recorded to effect such substitution.

News Release
Intel and Apollo Agree to Joint Venture Related to Intel’s Fab 34 in Ireland

SANTA CLARA, Calif., and NEW YORK, June 4, 2024 — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Intel Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) and Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced a definitive agreement under which Apollo-managed funds and affiliates will lead an investment of $11 billion to acquire from Intel a 49% equity interest in a joint venture entity related to Intel’s Fab 34.

The transaction represents Intel’s second Semiconductor Co-Investment Program (SCIP) arrangement. SCIP is an element of Intel’s Smart Capital strategy, a funding approach designed to create financial flexibility to accelerate the company’s strategy, including investing in its global manufacturing operations, while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Located in Leixlip, Ireland, Fab 34 is Intel’s leading-edge high-volume manufacturing (HVM) facility designed for wafers using the Intel 4 and Intel 3 process technologies. To date, Intel has invested $18.4 billion in Fab 34. This transaction allows Intel to unlock and redeploy to other parts of its business a portion of this investment while continuing the build-out of Fab 34. As part of its transformation strategy, Intel has committed billions of dollars of investments to regaining process leadership and building out leading-edge wafer fabrication and advanced packaging capacity globally.

Under the agreement, the joint venture will have rights to manufacture wafers at Fab 34 to support long-term demand for Intel’s products and provide capacity for Intel Foundry customers. Intel will have a 51% controlling interest in the joint venture. Intel will retain full ownership and operational control of Fab 34 and its assets. The transaction is designed to enhance the company’s strong balance sheet with capital at a cost below Intel’s cost of equity. The investment in the joint venture is expected to be treated as equity-like from a ratings perspective.

“Intel’s agreement with Apollo gives us additional flexibility to execute our strategy as we invest to create the world’s most resilient and sustainable semiconductor supply chain. Our investments in leading-edge capacity in the U.S. and Europe will be critical to meet the growing demand for silicon, with the global semiconductor market poised to double over the next five years,” said David Zinsner, Intel CFO. “This transaction allows us to share our investment with an established financial partner on attractive terms while maintaining our strong investment-grade credit rating.”

Apollo Partner Jamshid Ehsani added, “Apollo is pleased to enter into this joint venture with Intel. This highly strategic capital transaction is among the largest private investments of its kind and showcases Apollo’s ability to provide creative, scaled capital solutions to leading corporations and infrastructure, and to contribute to supply chain resiliency. It also underscores our role as a trusted financing partner, leveraging private capital to help build the New Economy, including next generation AI technology which will require major investments in sustainable power generation, data centers, foundries and semiconductor capabilities.”




Transaction Details

Construction of Fab 34 is largely complete, and high-volume manufacturing of Intel® Core™ Ultra processors on Intel 4 technology began there in September 2023. The ramp of Granite Rapids, Intel’s next-generation data center product on Intel 3 technology, is also well underway.

The joint venture will manufacture wafers for sale to Intel on a cost-plus-margin basis. Under the agreement, Intel is required to finish the build-out of Fab 34 and purchase wafers from the joint venture for itself and external customers, with minimum volume commitments for its wafer demand following the substantial completion of the facility.

For financial reporting purposes, Intel expects to consolidate results of the joint venture through net income and account for income attributable to the 49% ownership interest in net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests. Intel expects net income attributable to such non-controlling interest to be limited in the first two years but to increase thereafter as the factory ramps to full capacity.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2024.

Intel’s Smart Capital Approach

Smart Capital provides financial guardrails and acceleration to return Intel to process technology and product leadership. In addition to SCIP, other elements of Smart Capital include: 1) government incentives to provide a level playing field for building a geographically diverse and resilient semiconductor supply chain; 2) build-out of shell space, which gives the company the flexibility to determine how and when to bring additional capacity online; 3) customer participation in internal capacity build-outs as Intel executes its foundry strategy; and 4) strategic and opportunistic use of external foundries.

Intel’s SCIP program has supported the company’s period of accelerated manufacturing investment that commenced in early 2021. With the signing of this second SCIP agreement, the company is not contemplating further SCIP transactions in the near term.

Intel’s Manufacturing Footprint in Ireland

Intel celebrated the opening of Fab 34 in Ireland in September 2023, marking the first use of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) in high-volume manufacturing in Europe. Fab 34 is designed to support high-volume production of Intel 3 and Intel 4 technologies. In addition to Fab 34, Intel maintains a second manufacturing facility in Leixlip, Fab 24, which has been a key location for production of Intel’s 14-nanometer silicon microprocessors, while also preparing to support Intel Foundry customers. The transaction with Apollo only pertains to Fab 34.
