(i)    any Current Business Product, Past Product, Roadmap Product, Functional Block or Derivative, or

(ii)    any combination of the items described in clause (i) with each other or with new or additional technology, but only to the extent of the items described in clause (i) and not to any new or additional functionality added to such items (other than Technology which Broadcom is permitted to use or develop pursuant to the IP Core License Agreement; provided, however, that use or development of such Technology is done in accordance with and remains subject to the restrictions set forth in the IP Core License Agreement) or to the remainder of any device or product in which such items may be incorporated.

For the avoidance of doubt, the restriction on sublicensing set forth above shall not be interpreted to limit the sublicense rights granted under Section 2.1(b) below; i.e., if a permitted sublicensee’s exercise of its permitted sublicensed rights with respect to the Retained Technology would necessarily infringe a Retained Patent(s), then Broadcom is permitted to grant a sublicense under such Retained Patents solely to the extent necessary to enable such sublicensee of such Retained Technology to exercise its permitted sublicense rights in accordance with Section 2.1(b).

(b)    AMD and its Affiliates hereby grant to Broadcom and its Subsidiaries (i) under the Retained Intellectual Property Rights, and (ii) to the Retained Technology, a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free, non-transferable (except for certain assignments as provided in Section 9.3 (Assignment)) license, with right of sublicense (but without further right of sublicense by such sublicensee except to end users of products, solely as necessary for such end users to use such products), to use, reproduce, modify, make derivative works of, distribute and otherwise exploit the Retained Technology, to design, develop, use, make, have made, import, export, offer to sell, sell, support, maintain and otherwise dispose of products and to provide services. Such license shall be (A) exclusive within the Broadcom Exclusive Field (even as to AMD and its Affiliates), effective as of the Effective Date and for three (3) years thereafter, and non-exclusive within the Broadcom Exclusive Field effective after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, (B) non-exclusive within the AMD Exclusive Field, effective only after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, and (C) non-exclusive in all fields, other than the Broadcom Exclusive Field and the AMD Exclusive Field, effective as of the Effective Date.

(c)    The “have made” rights refer only to third party manufacturers or other service providers solely for purposes of having products designed and/or made on Broadcom’s or its Subsidiaries’ behalf and not to design and/or make products of their own design or products made based upon the designs of Third Parties.

AMD, or its Affiliate, shall join as a party to any action brought by Broadcom pursuant to such right, at Broadcom’s request and at Broadcom’s expense (including for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of AMD or AMD’s Affiliates), in the event that an adverse party asserts, the court rules or other laws then applicable provide, or Broadcom determines in good faith, that a court lacks jurisdiction based on such AMD’s or such Affiliate’s absence as a party in such action. If Broadcom lacks standing to bring such an action in any jurisdiction, Broadcom shall have the right to direct AMD or its Affiliate to initiate legal action to enforce the Retained Intellectual Property Rights and Retained Technology, in accordance with Broadcom’s reasonable instructions and AMD or such Affiliate, as applicable, shall initiate and pursue such action in accordance with Broadcom’s instructions and at Broadcom’s expense (including for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of AMD or AMD’s Affiliates). Broadcom shall retain or receive all recoveries obtained by either party or their Affiliates from any action or settlement of any claim or action, brought pursuant to this Section 2.1(d). Broadcom shall indemnify and hold AMD and AMD’s Affiliates harmless from

and against any liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by AMD and its Affiliates, and to promptly reimburse AMD and its Affiliates for any such liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, which are incurred by AMD and its Affiliates, resulting from any actions undertaken by AMD and its Affiliates requested by Broadcom pursuant to this Section 2.1(d); provided, however, that Broadcom’s indemnification obligation hereunder (i) shall be subject to, and shall not supersede in any way, AMD’s obligation to indemnify Broadcom pursuant to the APA and Broadcom shall have no obligation to indemnify AMD hereunder for any liability, loss, damage, cost or expense which is subject to AMD’s obligation to indemnify Broadcom pursuant to the APA; and (ii) is conditioned upon: (A) AMD providing Broadcom with prompt written notice of any such liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, or any Third Party claim which could give rise to such liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses; (B) Broadcom having sole control and authority with respect to the defense and settlement of any such claim; and (C) AMD reasonably cooperating with Broadcom in the defense of any such claim.

(e)    Broadcom shall not use or hire others to use or analyze any Retained Technology that is not otherwise publicly available for the purposes of determining if any features, functions or processes provided by the Retained Technology are covered by any patents or patent applications owned by Broadcom and then use that analysis to assert patent infringement claims against AMD.

9.3    Assignment. In addition to the sublicense rights enumerated in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, in the event of a sale of any portion of the business of either party that utilizes the license granted hereby, either party may grant sublicenses to the purchaser of such portion of the business (including as to AMD, AMD’s handheld business unit) to be used by such purchaser solely in connection with the business sold to the purchaser and not for any other business. No party may, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law or otherwise, assign or transfer this Agreement and the rights granted to it hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or refused at the other party’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement and the rights granted to it hereunder, subject to its obligations, to a successor in interest, without the consent of the other party, upon any merger, acquisition, reorganization, change of control, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or business of such party or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or the business related to the Intellectual Property Rights and Technology licensed to such party under this Agreement, to be used by the successor solely in connection with the business sold to the successor and not for any other business. Any assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void from the beginning, and shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. AMD shall not assign, transfer or otherwise divest any right, title or interest in or to Retained Technology, Retained Intellectual Property Rights or Retained Patents unless (a) such assignment, transfer or other divestiture is subject to all of the rights granted to Broadcom under this Agreement, and (b) the Person(s) to whom such right, title or interest is transferred is informed in writing, on or before the effectiveness of such assignment, transfer or divestiture, of the rights granted to Broadcom under this Agreement.

9.4    Relationship Between Parties. Broadcom and AMD shall at all times and for all purposes be deemed to be independent contractors and neither party, its Affiliates, nor either party’s or its Affiliates’ employees, representatives, subcontractors or agents, shall have the right or power to bind the other party. This Agreement shall not itself create or be deemed to create a joint venture, partnership or similar association between Broadcom and AMD or either party’s or its Affiliates’ employees, representatives, subcontractors or agents.

9.5    Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of Broadcom and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and AMD and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand. It is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity, and this Agreement does not (shall not be construed to) confer any right or cause of action in, upon or on behalf of any other person or entity, and no person or entity (including any of employee or former employee of any of the parties) other than Broadcom or its Subsidiaries and AMD or its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to rely on any provision of this Agreement in any action proceeding, hearing or other forum.

9.6    Severability. In the event that any clause, sub-clause or other provision contained in this Agreement shall be determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such clause, sub-clause or other provision shall to that extent be severed from the remaining clauses and provisions, or the remaining part of the clause in question, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9.7    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Failure or neglect by a party to enforce at any time any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed nor shall be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights hereunder nor in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of this Agreement nor prejudice such party’s rights to take subsequent action. All rights and remedies conferred under this Agreement or by any other instrument or law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

9.8    Amendment. Any term of this Agreement may be amended, modified, rescinded, canceled or waived, in whole or in part, only by a written instrument signed by each of the parties’ authorized representatives or their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

9.10    Headings; Construction. The headings to the clauses, sub-clauses and parts of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The terms “this Agreement,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and any similar expressions refer to this Agreement and not to any particular Section or other portion hereof. The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” and “discretion” means sole discretion.

9.11    Entire Agreement. With the exception of the APA and the Ancillary Agreements, this Agreement (including its Exhibits, each of which are incorporated herein by this reference) supersedes any arrangements, understandings, promises or agreements made or existing between the parties hereto prior to or simultaneously with this Agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Project Addendum and Exclusivity Agreement, which shall continue as set forth in Section 5.2 of the APA.

9.12    Statement of Intent With Respect to Bankruptcy. Each party’s rights under this Agreement are perpetual, irrevocable, and nonexecutory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other contract, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a party, the license grant to the other party in Article 2 shall continue in full force and effect. Under no circumstances shall the other party’s exercise of the rights granted to it in Article 2 ever be construed as an infringement of the licensor party’s rights in the Retained Patents, the Retained Intellectual Property Rights, the Retained Technology, the Transferred Patents, the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights or the Transferred Technology, as applicable. In the event that a bankruptcy court or other court of competent jurisdiction ever determines by final judgment that this Agreement is executory, despite every intention and effort by the parties to negotiate and document nonexecutory rights for the other party, and without implying any acceptance of the rejected concept that it is legally impossible to create such a nonexecutory license for Intellectual Property Rights or Technology, all rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the APA is an agreement “supplemental to” this license. Furthermore, in such an event, the parties agree that each party, as a licensee of rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other applicable law, including any right by such party to specific

performance of this Agreement, since each party acknowledges and agrees that the Retained Patents, Retained Intellectual Property Rights, Retained Technology, Transferred Patents, Transferred Intellectual Property Rights and Transferred Technology are unique and that rejection of the license will cause the other party irreparable harm for which its legal remedies are inadequate; provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a present exercise of such rights and elections.

9.13    Export. In recognition of U.S. and non-U.S. export control laws and regulations, each party agrees that it will not export, or transfer for the purpose of re-export, any product, technical data received hereunder or any product produced by use of such technical data, including processes and services, (each, an “Exported Product”), in violation of any U.S. or non-US regulation, treaty, executive order, law, statute, amendment or supplement thereto. Further, neither party will export an Exported Product to any prohibited or embargoed country or to any denied, blocked, or designated person or entity as mentioned in any such U.S. or non-US regulation, treaty, executive order, law, statute, amendment or supplement thereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement effective as of the Effective Date.
