                           any party that is not a Related Entity and at least

                  (iv)     For so long as a Member remains a member of the
                           Company, each Member hereby grants the Company a
                           worldwide license to the Licensed Background IP owned
                           by such Member, to the extent that such Licensed
                           Background IP covers the products the Company
                           manufactures, uses, sells, and/or imports.

                  (v)      Background IP of either Member may not be used by any
                           other Member or shareholder for any purpose, except
                           to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

         h.       WORK PRODUCT

                  (i)      The Company shall own all Work Product created in
                           connection with the purposes and in accordance with
                           the terms of this Agreement. Work Product that is
                           jointly conceived by the Company and one or both
                           Member(s) shall be jointly owned by the conceiving
                           parties. The Company hereby grants each Member a
                           worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable,
                           fully sub-licensable and fully paid license to all
                           Work Product that the Company owns or jointly owns
                           and which Work Product is created while the Member is
                           a member of the Company. Under the license granted
                           under this Section 2(h)(i) the Member shall have the
                           right to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, offer
                           to sell, import, have imported, any product,
                           composition, method or process covered by Work
                           Product for so long as the Company exists.

                  (ii)     Upon the reasonable request of the Company during or
                           after the term of this Agreement, each Member agrees
                           to take such further actions and provide such further
                           executed documents as may be necessary or desirable
                           to transfer, perfect and/or defend the Company's
                           ownership of the Work Product. In such regard, upon
                           the Company's request, each such Member will: (A)
                           execute, acknowledge and deliver any requested
                           affidavits and documents of assignment and
                           conveyance; (B) obtain and aid in the enforcement of
                           copyrights, trademarks and, if applicable, patents
                           with respect to the Work Product in any country; (C)
                           provide testimony in connection with any proceeding
                           affecting the right, title or interest of the Company
                           in any Work Product; and (D) perform any other acts
                           deemed necessary or desirable to carry out the
                           purposes of this Agreement. The Company shall
                           reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
                           incurred by a Member at the Company's request in
                           connection with the foregoing. The Company shall have
                           the right to obtain and hold in its own name

                                      -7-

                           copyrights, trademarks, registrations, patents and
                           any other statutory or other legal protection
                           available to it with respect to a Work Product.

                  (iii)    The President shall, at the Company's expense and
                           under the direction of the Board, handle all claims
                           and defend any suit or proceeding brought against the
                           Company insofar as based on a claim that, without
                           alteration or further combination, any Work Product
                           developed by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to
                           this Agreement either (A) infringes any patent of any
                           jurisdiction, or (B) is defective or non-conforming.

         i.       FUNDING AND BORROWING. Funding that the Company may require
                  beyond the initial cash contributions of the shareholders will
                  be obtained through the accumulation of earnings, additional
                  cash contributions from the shareholders, or appropriate
                  credit facilities. The Company will not borrow funds or
                  otherwise incur indebtedness outside the ordinary course of
                  business without the approval of the Board as set forth in the
                  Articles or this Agreement, except in connection with a
                  Member's exercise of rights under the following Section 2(j).
                  Unless otherwise agreed or as set forth in the following
                  Section 2(j), TFS and USSB will bear any loan, guarantee or
                  other financial assistance granted to or on behalf of the
                  Company in proportion to their shareholdings.

         j.       ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CALL. If the Company's projected revenues
                  (with appropriate discount based on 12-month historical
                  results for bad debt, cancelled contracts, returned products,
                  and other relevant factors) plus liquid capital on hand are
                  insufficient to sustain the Company's operations for a period
                  of six (6) months based on the Company's Board-approved Budget
                  then in place, including capital expenditures, then in
                  addition to any Board actions that may be taken to reduce
                  expenditures (including employee reductions and restructuring
                  of supply and customer contracts and credit facilities), any
                  Member holding at least 10% of the outstanding voting stock of
                  the Company will have the right to demand an additional
                  capital call, upon the terms set forth below (the "Capital
                  Call"):

                  (i)      The party demanding the Capital Call (the "Calling
                           Shareholder") shall send written notice (the "Call
                           Notice") to each other shareholder (each a "Receiving
                           Shareholder") and the Company setting forth the
                           financial conditions of the Company and demanding
                           that the shareholders contribute additional capital
                           to the Company through the purchase of additional
                           shares.

                  (ii)     The Call Notice shall also set forth the amount of
                           such additional Capital Call, provided, however, that
                           the total amount of the Capital Call shall not be for
                           an amount less than $2,000,000 and shall be divided
                           among the shareholders proportionally to their
                           respective shareholdings in the Company at the time
                           of the Capital Call.

                  (iii)    Within 15 days, each Receiving Shareholder shall
                           provide notice to the Calling Shareholder and the
                           Company regarding the Receiving

                                      -8-

                           Shareholder's intent to either participate in the
                           Capital Call or demand that the Company retain an
                           internationally-recognized accounting firm (other
                           than the Company's regular retained accountants or
                           auditors or their affiliates) to review the Company's
                           financial situation (acting as an expert and not as
                           an arbitrator) and provide a report to the Company
                           not later than sixty (60) days from the date of the
                           Receiving Shareholder's demand. If such accounting
                           firm determines that the conditions set forth above
                           for a Capital Call have not been met, then the fees
                           and costs associated with such review shall be borne
                           by the Calling Shareholder, and the Call Notice will
                           be void and of no further legal effect. If such
                           accounting firm determines that the conditions for a
                           Capital Call have been met, then the fees and costs
                           associated with such review shall be borne by the
                           Receiving Shareholder demanding such review, and the
                           Receiving Shareholder shall also be obligated to
                           participate in the Capital Call as initially made by
                           the Calling Shareholder.

                  (iv)     If a shareholder does not participate in a Capital
                           Call, then such shareholder's additional share
                           allotment in the Capital Call shall be allocated
                           proportionally to the participating shareholders
                           resulting in a dilution of the non-participating
                           shareholder's percentage ownership in the Company.

                  (v)      The parties acknowledge that the Company's potential
                           need for additional capital is an integral part of
                           the transactions contemplated hereby, and agree that
                           as a further incentive for each shareholder to
                           participate in a Capital Call, that in the event a
                           Member holding at least 10% of the outstanding voting
                           stock of the Company immediately prior to the Capital
                           Call does not participate in any Capital Call made
                           within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement,
                           then the shares purchased by the participating
                           shareholders in the Capital Call shall be purchased
                           at par value, including any re-allocated shares of
                           the non-participating shareholder pursuant to the
                           preceding paragraph.

                  (vi)     In addition, in the event a Member holding at least
                           10% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company
                           immediately prior to the Capital Call does not
                           participate in the Capital Call, then the Member
                           participating in the Capital Call (the "Participating
                           Member") shall have the right, at its option and in
                           its sole discretion, to take, or cause the Company to
                           take, any or all of the following actions, which
                           shall not require shareholder or Board consent:

                           (A)      cause the Company to issue any additional

                                    shareholders, up to the amount required by
                                    the Capital Call, to any third party as
                                    identified by the Participating Member;

                           (B)      cause the Company to borrow funds from the
                                    Participating Member, up to the amount
                                    required by the Capital Call, at an interest
                                    rate equal to the lesser of LIBOR plus 500
                                    basis points or the maximum allowable
                                    interest rate under applicable law; and

                           (C)      cause the Company to enter into a lending
                                    arrangement with an outside lender to borrow
                                    funds on commercially available terms, up to
                                    the amount required by the Capital Call.

                  (vii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
                           herein, no shareholder shall be required to
                           participate in Capital Calls in an amount exceeding
                           in the aggregate an additional amount equal to such
                           shareholder's (or predecessor-in-interest's) initial
                           capital contribution at the Closing, such that no
                           shareholder will be required to invest in the
                           aggregate more than twice the amount of its initial
                           capital contribution at the Closing. The Company will
                           nevertheless be permitted to issue additional shares
                           outside of a Capital Call to the other shareholders
                           or third parties as determined by the Board and
                           subject to the shareholders' preemptive rights set
                           forth below.

         k.       PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS AND SHARE TRANSFERS. Except as contemplated
                  under the provisions regarding Capital Calls set forth above,
                  each shareholder will have a preemptive right to subscribe for
                  any additional shares of the Company in proportion to its
                  then-current shareholding. Neither party may pledge, assign,
                  sell or otherwise transfer or encumber any of its shares of
                  the Company to or in favor of any third party without the
                  prior consent of the other party, which consent will not be
                  unreasonably withheld. Pursuant to the foregoing, USSB will
                  have the right to sell any or all of its shareholding in the
                  Company to a venture capital firm having substantial expertise
                  in the electronics manufacturing services industry, subject to
                  the prior written consent of TFS, which consent will not be
                  unreasonably withheld. Except as contemplated in the preceding
                  sentence, each party will have a right of first refusal with
                  respect to any pledge, assignment, sale or other transfer or
                  encumbrance of the other party's shares in the Company.

         l.       SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND RESOLUTIONS. Subject to the
                  requirements set forth in this Agreement, the Company will
                  convene shareholders meetings or submit resolutions to the
                  decision of the shareholders as required under the Articles. A
                  quorum for a meeting of shareholders shall require the
                  participation (whether in person or by telephone or video
                  conference) of at least two (2) shareholders holding a
                  majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company,
                  including at least one (1) shareholder representing TFS and
                  one (1) shareholder representing USSB, provided, however, that
                  if a quorum is not present within thirty (30) minutes after
                  the time set for such meeting, the meeting shall stand
                  adjourned to the date and time fifteen (15) business days from
                  the originally-scheduled date and time, and the participation
                  of any one or more shareholder(s) holding not less than 30% of
                  the outstanding voting shares of the Company in such
                  rescheduled meeting shall constitute a quorum at such meeting.
                  Shareholder resolutions may

                                      -10-

                  be adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
                  participating in any such vote, except that a super-majority
                  vote may be required for certain actions as set forth in the
                  Articles or in the attached SCHEDULE III ("Shareholder
                  Super-Majority Matters").


         m.       BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Subject to the authority of the
                  shareholders, the Company's business and affairs will be
                  overseen by its Board, which will consist of five (5)
                  directors, unless such number is increased or decreased by
                  resolution of the shareholders. USSB initially will be
                  entitled to nominate two (2) directors for election to the
                  Board, who will be Tan Sri Ngan Ching Wen and Dato' Lai Pin
                  Yong. TFS initially will be entitled to nominate three (3)
                  directors for election to the Board, who will be Carl E.
                  Derrington, Jeffery D. Buchanan, and Joe D. Tanner. In the
                  event that a Member's shareholding falls below 30% of the
                  outstanding voting shares of the Company, such Member shall be
                  entitled to nominate only one (1) director for election to the
                  Board, provided, however, that if a Member's shareholding
                  falls below 10% of the outstanding voting shares of the
                  Company, such Member shall not be entitled to nominate any
                  directors for election to the Board. The shareholders will
                  elect an individual to serve as Chairman of the Board from
                  time to time, who shall initially be Joe D. Tanner. Each
                  director may be elected to serve any number of terms and will
                  serve in the manner set forth in the Articles. Each director
                  will serve without compensation, except as specifically
                  required by law, provided, however, that the Company will
                  reimburse a director's reasonable expenses incurred in
                  traveling to and attending meetings of the Board or any
                  committee of the Board, and provided, further, that the
                  Company will not be required to reimburse a director for
                  airfare in excess of the Malaysian Ringgit equivalent of
                  $2,600 for any single Board or committee meeting. A director
                  may be removed only by the shareholder nominating such
                  director for election to the Board, and any director who has
                  resigned or is removed shall not be entitled to any claims or
                  compensation against the Company related to such director's
                  service as a director of the Company, other than claims for
                  indemnification pursuant to any director indemnification
                  policy adopted by the Company.

         n.       BOARD MEETINGS AND RESOLUTIONS. Subject to the requirements
                  set forth in this Agreement, the Board will meet or otherwise
                  take resolutions in the manner set forth in the Articles. All
                  Board meetings will be conducted, and resolutions will be
                  prepared, in English. A quorum for a meeting of the Board
                  shall require the participation (whether in person or by
                  telephone or video conference) of at least three (3)
                  directors, including at least one (1) director nominated for
                  election to the Board by TFS and one (1) director nominated
                  for election to the Board by USSB, provided, however, that:

                  (i)      if a quorum is not present within thirty (30) minutes
                           after the time set for such meeting, then the meeting
                           shall stand adjourned to a date and time determined
                           by the directors present, which shall be no later
                           than five (5) business days from the date and time of
                           the originally-scheduled meeting.

                           The directors present shall promptly notify all
                           directors of the date and time of such rescheduled
                           meeting, and the participation of any two (2)
                           directors, including at least one (1) director
                           nominated for election to the Board by TFS, shall
                           constitute a quorum at such rescheduled meeting; and

                  (ii)     if a quorum is not present within thirty (30) minutes
                           after the time set for such rescheduled meeting, then
                           the rescheduled meeting shall stand adjourned to a
                           date and time determined by the directors present,
                           which shall be no later than five (5) business days
                           from the date and time of the rescheduled meeting.
                           The directors present shall promptly provide final
                           notice to all directors of the date and time of the
                           proposed final rescheduled meeting, and the
                           participation of any two (2) directors, including at
                           least one (1) director nominated for election to the
                           Board by TFS, shall constitute a quorum at such final
                           rescheduled meeting; and

                  (iii)    if a quorum is not present within thirty (30) minutes
                           after the time set for such final rescheduled
                           meeting, then such failure to achieve a quorum at the
                           final rescheduled meeting shall constitute an Option
                           Event, as set forth in Section 8 below.

                  Board resolutions may be adopted in the absence of a meeting
                  by a written resolution signed by a majority of the members of
                  the Board, provided, that such resolution has been circulated
                  to all members of the Board, and subject to the restrictions
                  contained in the following sentence. Board resolutions may be
                  adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors
                  participating in any vote, except that a super-majority vote
                  may be required for certain actions as set forth in the
                  Articles or in the attached SCHEDULE IV ("Board Super-Majority
                  Matters").

         O.       BOARD OBSERVERS. For so long as USSB or its Related Entities
                  hold at least 10% of the outstanding voting shares of the
                  Company the Company shall invite two (2) representatives of
                  USSB ("Observers"), to participate in meetings of the Board in
                  an observational, non-director and non-voting capacity and, in
                  this respect, shall give the Observers notice of such meetings
                  at the same time as provided to the members of the Board;
                  provided, however, that the Observers shall agree in writing
                  to hold in confidence and trust all information received or
                  provided by the Company; and, provided further, that the
                  Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to
                  exclude the Observers from any meeting or portion thereof if
                  the Company, upon advice of counsel, reasonably believes that
                  access to such information or attendance at such meeting could
                  adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the
                  Company and its counsel or would result in a disclosure of
                  trade secrets. It is anticipated that the initial Observers
                  will be _________________________ and
                  __________________________.

         P.       OFFICERS AND MANAGEMENT. The Board will appoint a President
                  (who will also be the Company's Chief Executive Officer) to
                  manage the Company's day-to-day business operations in
                  accordance with the Business Plan and Budget. The initial

                  the affirmative vote of at least one (1) director nominated
                  for election to the Board by USSB. The Board may also appoint
                  such other officers or managers in accordance with the
                  Articles as may be necessary or appropriate from time to time
                  to conduct the Company's affairs. The President and Chief
                  Financial Officer shall have the specific power and authority
                  set forth in this Agreement, in any employment agreement, and
                  as otherwise delegated by the Board. The other officers or
                  managers shall have such power and authority as delegated to
                  them by the Chairman, President or the Board. All decisions
                  regarding other officers, agents and employees, including the
                  hiring and termination of such officers, agents and employees,
                  and the determination of their compensation, shall be made by
                  the President under the direction of the Board.

                  (iv)     Power and Authority of President. The daily operation
                           and management of the Company shall be under the

                           operate the Company subject to (A) the provisions of
                           the Budget and the Business Plan of the Company which
                           shall be approved by the Board not less often than
                           annually and more often as may be agreed, (B) basic
                           policy decisions adopted by the Members, and (C)
                           specific limitations and requirements of this
                           Agreement and any employment agreement. In addition,
                           the President will keep the Board informed about the
                           Company's business and financial results, and ensure
                           that all financial statements and other reports that
                           may be required under the Articles or applicable law
                           are prepared and submitted on a timely basis.

                  (v)      Execution of Documents. The President shall have the
                           power and authority, subject to any express
                           provisions of this Agreement and the Articles to the
                           contrary and any limitations set forth by the Board
                           from time to time, to execute all documents or
                           instruments, perform all duties and powers and do all
                           things for and on behalf of the Company in all
                           matters necessary, desirable, convenient or
                           incidental to the purposes of the Company.

                  (vi)     Banking Resolution and Check Signing Authority. The
                           Members hereby unanimously authorize the President to
                           open or continue all banking accounts as he deems

                           in accordance with TFS' approved bank account
                           procedures, including signatory authority,

                           limitations approved by the Board from time to time.

                           Entities, holds at least 10% of the Company's
                           outstanding voting shares, the Company will submit to

                  addition to other actions that may be required under this
                  Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements:

                  (i)      the Company's management will carry out all required
                           filings and registrations and obtain any other

                  (ii)     the parties will use best efforts to complete such
                           documents and carry out all required filings and

                  (iii)    the parties will use best efforts to agree on a
                           framework regarding, and to finalize documents to

                           and facilities of IPC and to ensure that the status
                           and incentives currently enjoyed by IPC are
                           maintained or transferred to a new entity, as the
                           case may be, with the intent that such operations
                           will be jointly owned, with 60% initially held by TFS
                           and 40% initially held by USSB, or their respective
                           Related Entities.

6.       CONFIDENTIALITY

         a.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the term of this Agreement
                  and for a period of three (3) years after the termination of
                  this Agreement, the Company and each Member expressly
                  covenants and agrees that neither the Company nor such Member
                  nor any of their Related Entities (collectively, the
                  "Recipient Party") will disclose, divulge, furnish or make
                  accessible to anyone (other than the Company or any of the
                  Company's Related Entities or representatives) any
                  Confidential Information of the other Member or of the Company
                  (collectively, the "Disclosing Party"), or in any way use any
                  Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the
                  conduct of any business other than the business of the
                  Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6(a)
                  will (i) prohibit the Recipient Party from using Confidential
                  Information in connection with its exercise of rights granted
                  under Section 2(i) or (ii) prohibit the disclosure of any
                  Confidential Information (A) that is required to be disclosed
                  by the Recipient Party or any such Affiliate in connection
                  with any action or other proceeding before any Authority, (B)
                  in connection with the enforcement of any of the rights of the
                  Recipient Party

                                      -20-

                  hereunder, or (C) in connection with the defense by the
                  Recipient Party of any claim asserted against it hereunder;
                  provided, however, that in the case of a disclosure
                  contemplated by clause (ii)(A), to the extent reasonably
                  practicable, no disclosure shall be made until the Recipient
                  Party shall give notice to the Disclosing Party of the
                  intention to disclose such Confidential Information so that
                  the Disclosing Party may contest the need for disclosure, and
                  the Recipient Party will cooperate with the Disclosing Party
                  in connection with any such proceeding.

         b.       TRADE SECRETS. The Company and each Member expressly covenants
                  and agrees that neither the Company nor such Member nor any of
                  their Related Entities (collectively, the "Recipient Party")
                  will disclose, divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone
                  (other than the Company or any of the Company's Related
                  Entities or representatives) any Trade Secret of the other
                  Member or of the Company (collectively, the "Disclosing
                  Party"), or in any way use any Trade Secret of the Disclosing
                  Party in the conduct of any business other than the business
                  of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this
                  Section 6(a) will (i) prohibit the Recipient Party from using
                  Trade Secrets in connection with its exercise of rights
                  granted under Section 2(i) or (ii) prohibit the disclosure of
                  any Trade Secret (A) that is required to be disclosed by the
                  Recipient Party or any such Affiliate in connection with any
                  action or other proceeding before any Authority, (B) in
                  connection with the enforcement of any of the rights of the
                  Recipient Party hereunder, or (C) in connection with the
                  defense by the Recipient Party of any claim asserted against
                  it hereunder; provided, however, that in the case of a
                  disclosure contemplated by clause (ii)(A), to the extent
                  reasonably practicable, no disclosure shall be made until the
                  Recipient Party shall give notice to the Disclosing Party of
                  the intention to disclose such Trade Secret so that the
                  Disclosing Party may contest the need for disclosure, and the
                  Recipient Party will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in
                  connection with any such proceeding.

         C.       PROTECTIVE ACTIONS. Each party will use the other party's
                  Intellectual Property solely to fulfill the purposes of this
                  Agreement, and will take all reasonable precautions necessary
                  to safeguard the confidentiality of the other party's
                  Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, including (i)
                  those required under this Section 6, (ii) those taken by such
                  party to protect its own confidential information and (iii)
                  those which the other party may reasonably request from time
                  to time. Each party acknowledges that any unauthorized use or
                  disclosure of the Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of
                  the other party may cause irreparable damage to the other
                  party. If an unauthorized use or disclosure occurs, such party
                  will, at its expense, take all steps that are necessary to
                  recover the other party's Confidential Information and Trade
                  Secrets and to prevent its subsequent unauthorized use or
                  dissemination, including availing itself of actions for
                  seizure and injunctive relief. If such party fails to take
                  these steps in a timely and adequate manner, the other party
                  may take them at such party's expense.

7.       INDEMNIFICATION

         a.       INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY AND TFS. USSB acknowledges and
                  agrees that with the exception of assumed liabilities
                  specifically set forth in the Asset Transfer Agreement, if
                  any, the Company is not assuming any fixed or contingent
                  liabilities associated with the Business, and USSB hereby
                  agrees, and, if applicable under the relevant agreement, shall
                  cause its Related Entities, to indemnify and hold harmless the
                  Company and TFS from any Loss incurred as a result of, arising
                  out of, or resulting from, or related to: (i) the conduct of
                  the Business prior to the Closing, or (ii) any breach of any
                  representation, warranty, or covenant made by USSB or its
                  Related Entities contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary
                  Agreements, and such indemnification shall be in addition to
                  any other rights the Company or TFS may have hereunder or
                  thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
                  herein, USSB's obligation to indemnify TFS shall be limited to
                  the aggregate amount of TFS' actual investment in the Company
                  through purchase of shares, additional contributions to
                  capital or loans as of the date of such indemnification, plus
                  TFS' reasonable attorneys' fees and other fees and costs of
                  defending against any Third Party Claim, as defined below. In
                  addition, USSB's obligation to indemnify the Company shall be
                  limited to the amount required to bring the Company's net
                  shareholders' equity to an amount equal to the amount of the
                  shareholders' aggregate investment in the Company through
                  purchase of shares, additional contributions to capital or
                  loans as of the date of such indemnification.

         B.       INDEMNIFICATION OF USSB. TFS hereby agrees, and, if applicable
                  under the relevant agreement, shall cause its Related
                  Entities, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and USSB
                  from any Loss arising out of, or resulting from, or related to
                  any breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant made
                  by TFS or its Related Entities contained in this Agreement or
                  the Ancillary Agreements, and such indemnification shall be in
                  addition to any other rights USSB may have hereunder or
                  thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
                  herein, TFS' obligation to indemnify USSB shall be limited to
                  the aggregate amount of USSB's actual investment in the
                  Company through purchase of shares, additional contributions
                  to capital, or loans as of the date of such indemnification,
                  plus USSB's reasonable attorneys' fees and other fees and
                  costs of defending against any Third Party Claim, as defined
                  below.

         C.       INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES:

                  (i)      If any third party shall notify either party (the
                           "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a
                           "Third Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim
                           for indemnification against the other party (the
                           "Indemnifying Party") hereunder, then the Indemnified
                           Party shall promptly (and in any event within seven
                           (7) days after receiving notice of the Third Party
                           Claim) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in
                           writing.

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     The Indemnifying Party shall have the right at any
                           time to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of
                           the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice
                           reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party,
                           provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall
                           have the right to retain its own counsel, with
                           reasonable fees and expenses paid by the Indemnifying
                           Party, if either (A) representation of the
                           Indemnified Party by counsel retained by the
                           Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate because of
                           actual or potential conflicting interests between the
                           Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or (B)
                           the Indemnifying Party fails to defend such action,
                           suit, or proceeding.

                  (iii)    Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the
                           defense of the Third Party Claim as provided herein,
                           the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third
                           Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem
                           appropriate.

                  (iv)     In no event shall the either party consent to the
                           entry of any judgement or enter into any settlement
                           with respect to the Third Party Claim without the
                           prior written consent of the other party, which
                           consent shall not be reasonably withheld.

8.       PUT-CALL OPTION UPON CERTAIN EVENTS

         a.       PUT-CALL OPTION. Each Member (which for purposes of this
                  Section 8 shall include any Related Entity holding shares of
                  the Company or any successor in interest) will have the right
                  to put all shares (but not less than all shares) owned by such
                  party in the Company to the other Member, coupled with a call
                  obligation to purchase all shares (but not less than all
                  shares) owned by the other party in the Company in accordance
                  with the procedures set forth in this Section 8 (the "Put-Call
                  Option").

         b.       OPTION EVENT. Any of the following events will constitute an
                  "Option Event":

                  (i)      if the representations and warranties of the other
                           Member or its relevant Related Entity in this
                           Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are not true
                           and correct in all material respects, unless the
                           breach of such representation or warranty does not
                           result in a material adverse effect to the party for
                           whose benefit such representations and warranties
                           were included in the Agreement or the Ancillary
                           Agreements;

                  (ii)     if the other Member breaches any material obligation
                           under this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement and
                           such party fails to cure the breach to the notifying
                           party's reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (15)
                           days after it demands such cure in writing;

                  (iii)    if the other Member ceases to conduct business in the
                           normal course, is declared insolvent, undergoes any
                           procedure for the suspension of

                           payments or makes a general assignment for the
                           benefit of creditors or a petition for bankruptcy,
                           reorganization, dissolution or liquidation is filed
                           by or against it;

                  (iv)     if the shareholders are unable to duly adopt a
                           resolution regarding any Shareholder Super-Majority
                           Matter within thirty (30) days after it was first
                           presented to the shareholders;

                  (v)      if there is a failure to achieve a quorum at a
                           meeting of the Board and at two successive
                           rescheduled meetings as set forth in Section
                           2(n)(iii); or

                  (vi)     if the directors are unable to duly adopt a
                           resolution regarding the appointment of a Chairman or
                           President of the Company within thirty (30) days
                           after it was first presented to the Board.

         c.       EVENT NOTICE. Upon the occurrence of an Option Event, a Member
                  may provide notice to the other Member (the "Event Notice")
                  regarding the occurrence of such Option Event and setting
                  forth a demand for resolution or cure of the Option Event and
                  proposing a date, time, and venue for the Members to meet to
                  resolve the matter, which date shall be no later than ten (10)
                  days from the date of the Event Notice. Each Member shall act
                  in good faith to resolve the Option Event, and upon resolution
                  of the Option Event, the Members shall execute a statement
                  setting forth their agreement regarding resolution of the
                  Option Event and shall take such actions as may be necessary
                  to ensure that such Option Event is promptly resolved or
                  cured. Following delivery of the Event Notice, each Member
                  shall have the right to review the Company's books and records
                  during normal business hours and otherwise perform due
                  diligence, at such Member's expense, until such time as the
                  Option Event shall have been resolved or cured or until the
                  Put-Call Notice shall have been exercised or withdrawn, as set
                  forth below.

         d.       PUT-CALL NOTICE. If the parties are unable to resolve an
                  Option Event within fifteen (15) days from the date of the
                  Event Notice, then either Member (the "Initiating Party") may
                  provide written notice (the "Put-Call Notice") to the other
                  party (the "Responding Party") identifying the Option Event
                  and stating a specific price per share (the "Option Price") at
                  which the Initiating Party is offering to both (i) sell all of
                  its shares in the Company to the Responding Party, and (ii)
                  buy all of the Responding Party's shares in the Company.

         e.       RESPONDING NOTICE. Within fifteen (15) days following receipt
                  of the Put-Call Notice, the Responding Party shall provide
                  written notice to the Initiating Party (the "Responding
                  Notice") electing to either (i) purchase all shares of the
                  Initiating Party at the Option Price, or (ii) sell all of its
                  shares to the Initiating Party at the Option Price. The
                  Responding Party and the Initiating Party shall thereafter
                  take all steps necessary to consummate such transfer of the
                  relevant shares within ten (10) days, subject to receipt of
                  any Governmental Approvals required for such transfer.

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

         f.       FAILURE TO PROPERLY RESPOND. In the event the Responding Party
                  fails to deliver a Responding Notice within the 15-day period
                  set forth above, or delivers a Responding Notice that fails to
                  make one of the two permissible elections set forth above, the
                  Responding Party shall be deemed to have elected to sell all
                  of its shares to the Initiating Party at the Option Price, and
                  the Company shall promptly take such actions and make such
                  entries in its books and records to formalize the transfer of
                  such shares to the Initiating Party, upon receipt of adequate
                  documentation from the Initiating Party demonstrating delivery
                  to the Responding Party of the Option Price for such shares.

9.       TERM AND TERMINATION

         a.       TERM. This Agreement will become effective, as of the date
                  first set forth above, upon its execution by TFS and USSB and
                  will remain in effect thereafter perpetually, unless earlier
                  terminated pursuant to Section 9(b) below.

         b.       TERMINATION. This Agreement will terminate:

                  (i)      automatically if the parties fail to consummate the
                           Closing on or before April 30, 2003, for any reason,
                           subject to extension by mutual agreement of the
                           parties;

                  (ii)     by the written agreement of the parties; or

                  (iii)    by either party by written notice if neither party
                           has elected to provide a Put-Call Notice within sixty
                           (60) days after the delivery of an Event Notice
                           regarding the occurrence of the Option Event set
                           forth in 8(b)(iv) above, and such Option Event
                           remains unresolved.

         c.       CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION. Unless otherwise agreed, upon the
                  termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Company will
                  be dissolved and liquidated in accordance with applicable law,
                  unless previously dissolved or liquidated. The provisions of
                  Sections 6, 9(c), 10(c), 10(g), and 10(h) will survive the
                  expiration of this Agreement or its termination for any
                  reason.

10.      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         a.       NO AGENCY. TFS and USSB are independent parties. Nothing in
                  this Agreement will be construed to constitute either party as
                  an agent, employee or legal representative of the other party.
                  Neither party will either have nor represent itself to have
                  any authority to bind the other party or to act on its behalf,
                  except as set forth in a duly executed power of attorney.

         b.       FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties agree to cooperate in good
                  faith in soliciting any Governmental Approval that may be
                  required to consummate and perform this Agreement, and to
                  provide such documents and information as may be

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

                  required to carry out the intent of this Agreement. The
                  parties further agree to use commercially reasonable efforts
                  to achieve the objectives of this Agreement and agree to act
                  in good faith, and shall cause their representatives and
                  Related Entities to act in good faith, in carrying out the
                  purposes and objectives of this Agreement.

         c.       SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All
                  representations, warranties and covenants of the parties will
                  survive the Closing. In case of any misrepresentation or
                  breach of warranty or covenant, in addition to any other
                  rights the other party may have under this Agreement, the
                  breaching party will indemnify the other party against any
                  damage that it may incur as a result of such misrepresentation
                  or breach.

         d.       FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party will be liable for failure or
                  delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement that
                  is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, such as
                  natural catastrophes, terrorist acts, governmental acts or
                  omissions, laws or regulations, labor strikes or difficulties
                  (except for labor strikes or difficulties related to the
                  Business) or transportation stoppages or slowdowns.

         e.       NOTICES. Any notice, approval or other communication required
                  or permitted under this Agreement will be given in writing and
                  will be sent by facsimile, courier or registered airmail,
                  postage prepaid, to the address specified below or to any
                  other address that may be designated by prior notice. Any
                  notice or other communication will be deemed to have been
                  delivered upon actual receipt by the recipient.

                  or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or

                  contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements.

         g.       ARBITRATION.

                  (i)      General. The parties agree that any dispute arising
                           out of or in connection with this Agreement,
                           including any question regarding its existence,
                           validity or termination, shall be referred to and
                           finally resolved by arbitration in Singapore at the
                           Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC")
                           in accordance with the arbitration rules of SIAC
                           which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into
                           this clause.

                  (ii)     Proceeding. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of
                           three (3) arbitrators, one to be appointed by each of
                           the parties and the third arbitrator shall be
                           appointed by the chairman of SIAC and the arbitrator
                           so appointed shall serve as the chairman of the
                           arbitration tribunal.

                  (iii)    Language. The language of the arbitration shall be
                           English.

                  (iv)     Award. The arbitral award will be the exclusive
                           remedy of the parties for all claims, counterclaims,
                           issues or accountings presented or plead to the
                           arbitrator. The award will (A) be granted and paid in
                           U.S. dollars exclusive of any tax, deduction or
                           offset and (B) include interest from the date of that
                           the award is rendered until it is fully paid,
                           computed at the then-current LIBOR rate, plus 5%.
                           Judgement upon the arbitral award may be entered in
                           any court that has jurisdiction thereof.

                  (v)      Enforcement. If necessary, the arbitral award may be
                           enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction or
                           appropriate administrative body. Any additional
                           costs, fees or expenses incurred in enforcing the
                           arbitral award will be charged against the party that
                           resists its enforcement.

                  (vi)     Legal Actions. Notwithstanding the provisions of
                           Sections 10(g)(i)-(v) above, prior to arbitration or
                           pending the result of the arbitration, any party may
                           bring an action: (A) for injunctive or other similar
                           prohibitory relief in any court of competent
                           jurisdiction, and (B) for any interlocutory or
                           interim relief, including, without limitation, any
                           proceedings for the detention, custody or
                           preservation of any property.

         h.       GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and
                  interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
                  Delaware, excluding its conflict of law principles, except
                  that Malaysian law will be applicable in relation to matters
                  that specifically govern private limited companies
                  incorporated under the Malaysian Companies Act 1965, including
                  substantive issues related to the corporate governance or
                  structure of the Company. TFS and USSB exclude the United
                  Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
                  Goods from this Agreement and any transaction between them
                  that may be implemented in connection with this Agreement.

         i.       SUPREMACY. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between
                  the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Articles or
                  other constituent documents of the Company, the terms and
                  provisions of this Agreement shall prevail, to the extent of
                  such conflict or inconsistency, and the Members shall exercise
                  their respective voting rights as shareholders and take such
                  further actions as may be necessary to ensure that the terms
                  and provisions of this Agreement prevail.

         j.       INTERPRETATION. The terms that are defined in this Agreement
                  may be used in the singular or the plural, as the context
                  requires. References to "days" mean calendar days, unless
                  specified otherwise. References to a "person" mean an
                  individual, partnership, company, corporation or other legal
                  entity, as the context requires. The word "including" is
                  exemplary and not exhaustive and means "including, but not
                  limited to," the relevant items in question. The symbol "$"
                  refers to the lawful currency of the United States of America,
                  unless specifically indicated otherwise. Headings are intended
                  only for reference purposes. The

                  word "stock," with reference to the Company's capital stock,
                  means shares of the Company or shares that have been converted
                  into formal `stock' under Malaysian corporate law, and is
                  intended to be inclusive of both shares and stock as the
                  context permits. In case of any conflict between this
                  Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules, the terms of the
                  Exhibits and Schedules will prevail. This Agreement will be
                  interpreted and performed in English.

         k.       SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
                  unenforceable, in whole or in part, by a tribunal of competent
                  jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity of the
                  other provisions of this Agreement.

         l.       WAIVER, AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION. Except as otherwise provided
                  above, any waiver, amendment or other modification of this
                  Agreement will not be effective unless in writing and signed
                  by the party against whom enforcement is sought. In addition,
                  the failure by a party to enforce any provision of this
                  Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision, nor
                  shall it prevent such party from enforcing such provision in
                  the future.

         m.       ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits,
                  the Ancillary Agreements, and the other documents delivered
                  concurrently herewith constitute the complete and entire
                  statement of all terms, conditions and representations of the
                  agreement between TFS and USSB with respect to its subject
                  matter and supersede all prior writings or understandings.

                  constitute a single instrument.
