PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 18—108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act permits a limited liability company, subject to any restrictions that may be set forth in its limited liability company agreement, to indemnify its members and managers from and against any and all claims and demands.

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC’s limited liability company agreement provides that MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC shall indemnify any person who was or is 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, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC or a director or officer of a constituent person in a consolidation or merger, or is or was serving at the request of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC or a constituent person absorbed in a consolidation or merger, as a director or officer of another person, or is or was a director or officer of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC serving at its request as an administrator, trustee or other fiduciary of one or more of the employee benefit plans of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liability and loss actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC, except to the extent that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A.

Under Luxembourg law, civil liability of directors both to the company and to third parties is generally considered to be a matter of public policy. It is possible that Luxembourg courts would declare void an explicit or even implicit contractual limitation on directors’ liability to MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A., however, can validly agree to indemnify the directors against the consequences of liability actions brought by third parties (including shareholders if such shareholders have personally suffered a damage which is independent of and distinct from the damage caused to the company).

Under Luxembourg law, an employee of MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. can only be liable to MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. for damages brought about by his or her willful acts or gross negligence. Any arrangement providing for the indemnification of officers in case of willful acts or gross negligence against claims of MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. would in principle be contrary to public policy. Officers are liable to third parties under general tort law and may enter into arrangements with MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. providing for indemnification against third party claims.

Under Luxembourg law, an indemnification agreement can never cover a willful act or gross negligence.

MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company

Indemnification:    Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and

 

II-1


reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee of or agent to the Company. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company’s bylaws provide for indemnification by the company of any director or officer (as such term is defined in the bylaws) of the company or a constituent corporation absorbed in a consolidation or merger, or any person who, at the request of the company or a constituent corporation, is or was serving as a director or officer of, or in any other capacity for, any other enterprise, except to the extent that such indemnification is prohibited by law. The bylaws also provide that the company shall advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending a proceeding prior to the final disposition of such proceeding. The board of directors, by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not parties to the proceeding, must determine whether the applicable standards of any applicable statute have been met. The bylaws do not limit the company’s ability to provide other indemnification and expense reimbursement rights to directors, officers, employees, agents and other persons otherwise than pursuant to the bylaws. The company may purchase insurance covering the potential liabilities of the directors and officers of the company or any constituent corporations or any person who, at the request of the company or a constituent corporation, is or was serving as a director or officer of, or in any other capacity for, any other enterprise.

Limitation of Liability:    Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company’s certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.

Other Subsidiaries

The organizational documents of certain subsidiary guarantors also provide for indemnification of their officers and directors for liability incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as officers and directors.

Employment Agreements

Indemnification:    Some of our officers have employment agreements with us that provide for indemnification against losses, costs and expenses arising from or relating to such person’s services for us, to the extent permitted by law and the governing documents of the applicable company.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

II-7


 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrants’ annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(e) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith in furtherance of the foregoing, including by adjusting the fees from time to time if

 

10


 

necessary in order to effectuate this intent and by conducting, at the request of either Party, an audit of the fees in each calendar year during which services are provided (at a time within the first six months of the succeeding calendar year mutually agreed to in good faith) to compare the costs actually incurred to provide the Services hereunder during such period with the fees paid for such Services. The audited Party may dispute the results of any such audit, provided that the audited Party shall notify the requesting Party in writing of such disputed results within 30 days of the audited Party’s receipt of the results of the audit. In the event of any such dispute, Hynix and NewCo shall attempt to reconcile their differences and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on Hynix and NewCo. If Hynix and NewCo are unable to reach a resolution to such effect of all disputed amounts within 30 days of receipt of the audited Party’s written notice of dispute to the requesting Party, NewCo and Hynix shall submit the amounts remaining in dispute for resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm, which shall, within 30 days after such submission, determine and report to Hynix and NewCo with respect to the amounts disputed. The findings of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on Hynix and NewCo. If the results of any such audit as finally determined indicate that the requesting Party has, in the aggregate with respect to all costs audited, paid more than the amount otherwise required to have been paid pursuant to this Agreement, the audited Party shall promptly (and in no event later than 30 days from the date of such determination) refund the amount of such overpayment to the requesting Party. If the results of any such audit as finally determined indicate that the requesting Party has, in the aggregate with respect to all costs audited, paid less than the amount otherwise required to have been paid pursuant to this Agreement, the requesting Party shall promptly (and in no event later than 30 days from the date of such determination) pay the amount of such underpayment to the audited Party.

In the event that Hynix is required to perform corrective maintenance, repairs due to malfunction or non-routine inspection due to a suspected malfunction, Hynix shall give NewCo prior written notice of such

 

14

5.2. If NewCo receives such notice as set forth in Section 5.1, then to the extent that the affected Services are insufficient to meet NewCo’s requirements for NewCo’s use thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, Hynix shall (i) to the extent Hynix has alternative sources available internally, provide alternate sources for the affected Services for the duration of the Maintenance Activities, (ii) to the extent that Hynix obtains any alternate sources for such Services, Hynix shall make available a pro-rata share of these alternate sources to NewCo, and (iii) if the foregoing are not available or are insufficient to meet NewCo’s requirements, Hynix shall cooperate with NewCo to locate alternate sources for such Services.

9.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a third party supplier’s (including Third Party Suppliers) failure to meet its obligations in accordance with the applicable third party supplier agreement (including Third Party Supplier Agreements) shall not constitute an Event of Force Majeure and Hynix shall be liable to NewCo for any breach of this Agreement resulting from such failure; provided that any such liability to NewCo shall be limited to the extent that such third party supplier’s liability to Hynix is limited under the applicable third party supplier agreement; provided, further, that any such liability to NewCo shall be limited to the amount that Hynix actually recovers from such third party supplier.

In the event Hynix receives any compensation for Damages from the third party supplier for any breach, Hynix shall pay to NewCo a pro rata portion of such Damages received from the third party supplier based on the amount of Damages suffered by NewCo relative to the aggregate amount of Damages suffered by both Parties.

6. ROYALTIES AND PAYMENT TERMS.

6-1 Royalty.

(a) MAGNACHIP shall pay [*****] royalty for Products its produces for and sells to AATI (or AATI’s affiliate as designated in writing by contract from AATI). AATI’s wafer price from MAGNACHIP is covered under the AATI MAGNACHIP supply agreement and is not covered by this Agreement.

(b) In the case of Non-Competing Products, MAGNACHIP shall pay AATI [*****] royalty of Net Sales of all wafers produced using or incorporating the AATI Intellectual Property licensed herein (such MAGNACHIP payment to be offset by any payment due from AATI pursuant to Section 5.4 below); provided, however, that the Parties agree that the foregoing royalty rate is based on a presumption of a [*****] withholding tax rate as of the Effective Date, and so the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith an increase or decrease in such royalty rate at any time the withholding tax rate changes after the Effective Date. Customer shall be responsible for its own designs or pay for AATI’s design with a release to AATI. Customer and/or MagnaChip shall be responsible for the qualification, orders, shipping logistics and quality.

(c) In the case of Competing Products, MAGNACHIP shall pay AATI the royalty identified in Exhibit H of Net Sales to the identified Customer of all wafers produced using or incorporating the AATI Intellectual Property licensed herein. The Parties anticipate that such royalties will be [*****] (depending on volume) of such Net Sales to the identified Customers of all wafers, or as otherwise agreed to by both parties in writing.

(d) Both parties agree that they will review the pricing structure hereunder on an annual basis to ensure the pricing structure is mutually agreeable, and adjust such accordingly. In the event that a customer provides the Starting Material, the parties agree to adjust the foregoing Net Sales price by (I) deducting the actual third party costs of such Starting Material or (2) otherwise agreeing upon a commercially reasonable value for Starting Material and deducting such agreed upon value from the Net Sales price. AATI reserves the right to charge additional consideration directly to such customers (as opposed to MAGNACHIP) for such Competing Products. In such cases, (1) MAGNACHIP makes no representation to AATI with respect to the qualification and product quality; (2) AATI, at its election, may choose to assist such customers with respect to qualification and product quality; and (3) as between AATI and MAGNACHIP, MAGNACHIP shall be responsible for shipping logistics, orders and process quality of wafers.

6.2 Payment Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, MAGNACHIP and AATI shall pay their respective royalty payments on invoices paid by the third party in U.S. Dollars and shall include a report sufficient to show the basis for calculation of the royalty payments made hereunder, including without limitation, quantity and identification of all Competing and Non-Competing Products (“Report”). Upon AATI approval, in lieu of payment on a quarterly basis MAGNACHIP may pay such outstanding royalties by issuing a credit against outstanding AATI invoices or toward new wafer starts for Products from MAGNACHIP.

6.3 Records and Audit. Each party shall retain records and supporting documentation sufficient to document the fee payable under this Agreement in any particular quarter in which this Agreement is in effect for at least three years following the end of such quarter and its compliance with Section 6.2.

Audits will be conducted no more frequently than once per calendar year. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist such Auditors in connection with such Audits. Any such Audits shall be conducted at the requesting party’s sole cost and expense.

6.4 Taxes. Each Party shall bear any and all taxes and other charges incurred by or levied on it by its own country in connection with this Agreement, provided, however, that AATI shall bear fifty percent (50%) of any withholding or similar tax for foreign payments that is levied by the Korean Government upon any amounts due from MAGNACHIP to AATI under this Agreement, and MAGNACHIP is entitled to offset such AATI payment obligation from any amounts actually paid by MAGNACHIP to AATI under this Agreement, including but not limited to amounts due pursuant to Sections 6.1(b) and 6.1(c) above.

Neither Party shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance not within its reasonable control resulting from acts of God, strikes or other labor disputes, riots, acts of war, acts of terrorism, plagues and epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the facts, communication line failures, power failures, fire or other disasters beyond its control. If it appears that MAGNACHlP’s performance hereunder will be delayed for more than ninety (90) days, AATI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, or to cancel without cancellation charges those Purchase Orders or portions thereof which are affected by the delay.

13.9 Language. This Agreement is in the English language only, which language will be controlling in all respects, and all versions hereof in any other language will not be binding on the Parties hereto. All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to this Agreement must be in the English language. The Parties hereto confirm that it is their wish that this Agreement, as well as other documents relating hereto, including notices, have been and will be written in the English language only.

13.10 Governing Law. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will not be governed by the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Coods; rather such rights and obligations will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, without reference to its conflict of laws principles.

13.11 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the existence, validity, breach or termination of this Agreement, whether during or after its term, will be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified or supplemented as follows:

(a) To initiate arbitration, a Party will file the appropriate notice at the AAA. The arbitration proceeding will take place in San Francisco, CA or such other place as the Parties may agree in writing. The arbitration panel will be selected in accordance with the AAA standards. The Parties expressly agree that the arbitrators will be empowered to, at a Party’s request, (i) issue an interim order requiring one or more other Parties to cease using and return the requesting Party’s Confidential Information and/or (ii) grant injunctive relief.

(b) The arbitration award will be the exclusive remedy of the Parties for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented or pled to the arbitrators. The award will be granted and paid in U.S. Dollars exclusive of any tax, deduction or offset and will include reasonable attorneys fees and costs. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction thereof. Any additional costs, fees or expenses incurred in enforcing the arbitration award will be charged against the Party that resists its enforcement.

 

-18-


(c) Nothing in this Section 13.11 will prevent a Party from seeking injunctive relief against another Party from any judicial or administrative authority pending the resolution of a dispute by arbitration. MAGNACHIP acknowledges that a violation of proprietary rights of AATI would result in irreparable injury entitling AATI to injunctive relief.

13.12 Modification and Waiver. No amendment, waiver or any other change in any term or condition of this Agreement will be valid or binding unless mutually agreed to in writing by both Parties. The failure of a Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or to require performance by the other Party, will not be construed to be a waiver, or in any way affect the right of either Party to enforce such provision thereafter.

13.13 Severability. If a court or other body of competent jurisdiction finds, or the Parties mutually believe, any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith an enforceable substitute provision that most nearly achieves the intent and economic effect of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

13.14 [*****]

13.15 Entire Agreement.

3. Verification of ARM Compliant Products

 

3.1 LGS shall develop, manufacture and characterize an ARM710a Core test chip (the “Test Chip”) which complies with the test chip specification set forth in Schedule 3 (Item D16).

 

3.2 LGS shall run the Validation Vectors and Functional Test Vectors (together the “Vectors”), on the Test Chip and deliver to ARM a copy of the log (“the Log Results”) generated by running the Vectors together with five (5) samples of the applicable Test Chip. ARM may, at ARM’s discretion, exercise the right to run the Vectors on the Test Chip. The ARM Core shall be verified for a that process upon ARM’s acceptance of either the Log Results (i) delivered by LGS or (ii) generated by ARM. The Log Results shall be accepted when they indicate that no errors have been detected or where any errors detected have been jointly agreed, in good faith, and a waiver agreed between the parties. ARM shall notify LGS, in writing, within thirty (30) days of delivery by LGS of the Log Results and Test Chip samples to ARM (the “Verification Period”), whether the Test Chip has been verified or has failed the verification process. In the event that the Test Chip fails the verification process, ARM shall provide details of the errors which cause the failure to LGS and LGS shall endeavour to correct the errors with ARM’s assistance as provided under the terms of Clause 12. The parties shall repeat the above process until either: (i) the Test Chip is verified; or (ii) LGS withdraws the Test Chip from the verification process. In the event that ARM fails to confirm the result of the verification process within the Verification Period, the Test Chip subject to the verification process shall be deemed verified.

 

3.3 Provided that: (a) the Test Chip has been verified in accordance with the provisions of Clause 3.2; and (b) the ARM Compliant Product containing the ARM Core contained in the Test Chip runs the Functional Test Vectors and they indicate that no errors have been detected (or where any errors detected have been jointly agreed, in good faith, and a waiver agreed between the parties); except as hereafter provided, LGS may distribute such ARM Compliant Product without further verification. However, in the event that LGS modifies the internal logic of the ARM7 Core or ports any ARM Core to a new process LGS shall not be entitled to distribute any such modified or ported ARM Compliant Product until:

(i) in respect of an ARM Compliant Product containing the ARM710a Core, a Test Chip has been verified in accordance with the provisions of Clause 3.2; or

(ii) in respect of an ARM Compliant Product containing the ARM7 Core (other than an ARM Compliant Product as specified in Clause 3.3(i)), an ARM7 test chip, which complies with the test chip specification set forth in Schedule 3 (Item B12), has been verified, mutatis mutandis, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 3.2.

 

3.4 LGS shall provide to ARM, free of charge, fifty (50) samples of each Test Chip manufactured by LGS on each process utilized for such manufacture so that ARM, at its option, may, inter alia, test the compatibility of each Test Chip with the ARM Instruction Set. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no restriction on ARM’s use of such samples provided that ARM shall not reverse engineer such Test Chips.

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC Profit Sharing Plan

 

Exhibit 10.54

MagnaChip Semiconductor Profit Sharing Plan

as adopted on December 31, 2009 and as amended on February 15, 2010

WHEREAS, the Board wishes to motivate the executives and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to continue to grow the Company and bring greater value to the Company’s stakeholders.

1. RESOLVED, that the Board hereby establishes a MagnaChip Semiconductor Profit Sharing Plan under which the Board sets an annual consolidated EBITDA target (the “Base Target”) for the Company and pays to its executives and employees a percentage of consolidated EBITDA once the Base Target is met or exceeded (the “Profit Share”).

2. RESOLVED FURTHER, for the Company’s fiscal year 2010, the Base Target is hereby set at [*****] and the Profit Share for that Base Target is hereby set at [*****], payable as a percentage of annual base salary as follows:

 

     % Annual
Base Salary
    2010 Amount  

Executives

     25.1     [*****]   

CEO

     40.0  

President

     33.3  

GM

     26.7  

SVP

     23.3  

VP

     20.0  

Employee

     7.0     [*****]   

3. RESOLVED FURTHER, that for the year 2010 only, the Board has agreed to pay a portion of the Profit Share based on reaching a consolidated EBITDA (after deducting profit share expenses) of [*****] for the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2010, and a consolidated EBITDA (after deducting profit share expenses) of [*****] for the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2010 (the “Interim Targets”). A profit share distribution of [*****] will be paid for each Interim Target that the Company reaches. The interim profit share distributions will be paid during the Company’s normal pay period in April for the first Interim Target and in July for the second Interim Target.

4. RESOLVED FURTHER, that in the event the Company exceeds the Base Target, the Company shall pay to its executives and employees an additional Profit Share constituting twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual consolidated EBITDA in excess of the Base Target, with the payment percentages set forth above proportionately increasing.

5. RESOLVED FURTHER, that for the year 2010 only, no additional Profit Share will be paid in the event that the Company exceeds the Base Target or either Interim Target. The maximum payable profit share in 2010 is therefore [*****] for meeting or exceeding the Q1 Interim Target, [*****] for meeting or exceeding the Q2 Interim Target, and [*****] in aggregate for meeting or exceeding the Base Target, provided that the [*****] Profit Share will be offset by any profit share paid in 2010 for reaching either or both of the Interim Targets.

6. RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Company shall pay the Profit Share during the normal pay period in the January following the conclusion of each fiscal year for which the Profit Share is calculated, subject to normal tax and withholding requirements in each jurisdiction in which Company executives and employees are located, and that the Profit Share is only payable to those executives and employees who have been employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company during the entire fiscal year for

which the Profit Share is calculated and who are employed by the Company and its subsidiaries on the actual Profit Share payment date; provided, however, that the Profit Share is payable pro rata to executives and employees who begin their employment during the fiscal year for which the Profit Share is calculated.

7. RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Board retains the sole discretion to (i) pay the Profit Share in December of the relevant Company fiscal year when the Board believes the Base Target will be achieved, (ii) pay Profit Shares when the Company achieves slightly less than the Base Target, (iii) make interim Profit Share payments during the fiscal year, (iv) set consolidated EBITDA targets and Profit Share percentages for Company fiscal years beyond 2010, and (v) pay discretionary cash incentives to selected executives and employees outside the Profit Share plan.

8. RESOLVED FURTHER, that the proper officers of the Company, and each of them, are hereby authorized and directed in the name of and on behalf of the Company to make all such arrangements, to do and perform all such acts, to execute and deliver all such certificates and other instruments and documents, and to do everything that he or they may deem to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate in order to fully implement the foregoing resolutions, and that any and all actions heretofore taken by any officer or director of the Company in the name and on behalf of the Company in furtherance of the purpose and intent of the foregoing resolutions be, and hereby are, ratified, confirmed, and approved in all respects.
