(iv)

Each Party agrees to take all steps that are reasonable and in good faith under the circumstances to ensure that all Patent Rights directed to inventions that are made by its employees, as well as the employees of any of its Subsidiaries, and/or all Patent Rights directed to inventions that are made by its contractors during performance of work paid for by the Party or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, either alone or in conjunction with the employees and/or contractors of one or more of its Subsidiaries or third Persons (to the extent legally possible), are licensed under this Agreement. Each Party further agrees to take all steps that are reasonable and in good faith under the circumstances to ensure that all Patent Rights directed to inventions that are made in substantial part using funding provided directly or indirectly by that Party and/or its Subsidiaries are licensed under this Agreement.

(v)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Subsection 3.8(a)(iv), however, both Parties understand and intend that there are circumstances in which a Party or Subsidiary could reasonably agree in good faith with a third Person who is not a Subsidiary that the Party or Subsidiary would not have rights to license and/or enforce Patents directed to inventions developed [****]. For example, both Parties understand that it could be reasonable under the circumstances for a Party or Subsidiary to agree in good faith not to have rights to license and/or enforce Patents directed to inventions that arise out of: (a) [****]; (b) [****]; or (c) [****].

(vi)

Either Party shall have the right to request a written confirmation or denial from the other Party that a specific Person is (or is not) a Subsidiary. A Party receiving such a request shall provide such written confirmation or denial (including a full explanation in support of such confirmation or denial) within 30 days after its receipt of the request.

(b)

Broad Scope. In the event neither a Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has the right to grant a license under any particular Patent Right of the scope set forth in this Agreement, then the license granted herein under such Patent Right shall be of the broadest scope the licensing Party or any of its Subsidiaries has the right to grant.

(c)

Conduct with Respect to Subsidiaries. Each Party represents, warrants and covenants that it shall not, and shall ensure that its Subsidiaries shall not, [****].

(d)

Restricted Patent Rights. If either Party or one of its Subsidiaries (as used in this Section 3.8(d), the “First Party”) owns or has the right to enforce or control the enforcement of any Patent Rights, but such First Party does not have the right to license such Patent Rights to the other Party and its Subsidiaries (as used in this Section 3.8(d), the “Second Party”) under the terms of this Agreement (such Patent Rights referred to in this Section 3.8(d) as “Restricted Patent Rights”) then, if and to the extent such Restricted Patent Rights would have been licensed to the Second Party under this Agreement if the First Party had the right to license such Restricted Patent Rights:

(i)

the First Party hereby grants to the Second Party with respect to the Second Party Licensed Products, and promises for itself and its permitted successors and assigns of such Restricted Patent Rights to abide by its grant of, an immunity from suit for infringement of such Restricted Patent Rights of a scope identical to the rights that would have been granted under this Agreement if the First Party had the right to license such Restricted Patent Rights;

(ii)

the First Party shall not give its assent if that assent is required to allow a third Person to assert the Restricted Patent Rights against the Second Party Licensed Products; provided that (a) this restriction shall be dropped if the Second Party first initiates litigation alleging infringement of Patent Rights against the holder of the Restricted Patent Rights, and (b) in any event the First Party shall be free to fulfill its pre-existing contractual obligations to provide assistance and support as may be required under any pre-existing contractual agreement; and

(iii)

the First Party promises to offset or repay over to the Second Party any monetary awards for damages and/or royalties to be paid or paid by the Second Party and owing to or ultimately delivered to said First Party as a result of litigation or received in compromise of any claim by the holder of the Restricted Patent Rights against the Second Party Licensed Products to the extent attributable to such Restricted Patent Rights.

(e)

Cessation of Subsidiary Status. If a Subsidiary of a Party holds any Patents that are licensed to the other Party and its Subsidiaries under the terms of this Agreement and that Subsidiary ceases to meet all requisite conditions of being a Subsidiary for any reason, the licenses granted by such Subsidiary to the other Party and its Subsidiaries under the terms of this Agreement shall continue for the life of the Patents subject to such licenses, and the terms of Sections 7.13 and 7.14 shall continue to apply to such Patents, even after such entity ceases to meet all the requirements of being a Subsidiary; provided, however, for clarity, that Patents acquired by a former Subsidiary after the date it ceases to be a Subsidiary shall not be subject to the licenses granted in this Agreement.

(f)

Rights Requiring Payment to Third Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event either Party or any of its Subsidiaries obtains any Patent Rights which would be included within the Patents licensed under this Agreement but for the fact that granting such a license would require such Party or Subsidiary thereof to make payments to a third Person who is not a Subsidiary of such Party, such Patent Rights shall be [****], as the case may be, [****], as the case may be, [****].

3.9	Waiver of Indirect Infringement Liability.

(a)

For purposes of this Section 3.9, “Indirect Infringement” means a claim for infringement where the accused infringer is not directly infringing the subject Patent Rights(s), but is in some manner contributing to a third Person’s direct infringement of the subject Patent Rights(s) by, for example, supplying parts, components or instructions to the third Person that as a result of such parts, components or instructions enable such third Person to infringe directly the subject Patent Rights(s). Indirect Infringement includes without limitation contributory infringement and inducing infringement of Patent Rights.

(b)

Each Party and each of its Subsidiaries (as used in this Section 3.9, each an “Abstaining Party”) agrees that, unless the rights it has granted under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 5.2, for any Patents licensed by such Party or Subsidiary under this Agreement to the other Party and its Subsidiaries (as used within this Section 3.9, each a “Benefiting Party”) and/or

The Licensed Parties agree that the foregoing sentence does not and shall not in any way limit their respective rights to assert direct or indirect claims of infringement against any third Person who is not a Licensed Party.

3.10

No Other Rights. No rights are granted under this Agreement, by implication, estoppel, statute or otherwise, except as expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the previous sentence, (a) except as expressly provided in this Section 3, nothing in the licenses granted under this Agreement or otherwise contained in this Agreement shall expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise give either Party or any of its Subsidiaries any right to license (or sublicense) the other Party’s Patents to others, and (b) no license or immunity is granted by either Party or any of its Subsidiaries, expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, to any third Person who is not a Licensed Party and who acquires items from either Party, for the combination of Licensed Products with other items, or for the use of any such combination. Nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed as an agreement or prohibition against the manufacture, use, sale or importation of any product by either Party.

4.1

This Agreement supersedes the patent cross license agreements made by the Parties and effective on January 1, 2001, January 1, 1996 (as amended), and September 21, 1976 (as amended) (collectively, the “Prior Agreements”), and the rights and licenses of each Licensed Party under, or with respect to, the Patents of the other Party and its Subsidiaries shall be governed by this Agreement beginning with the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit, terminate or have any other effect upon (a) any agreement between the Parties (other than the Prior Agreements, as specifically identified above in this Section 4.1), or (b) [****], any rights or licenses of either Party or any of its Subsidiaries under the Prior Agreements with respect to any Patent Rights assigned, transferred, divested or otherwise conveyed by a Party or any of its Subsidiaries to any third Person (or otherwise Encumbered) prior to the Effective Date, and all such rights and licenses with respect to such Patent Rights under the Prior Agreements shall survive and remain in full force and effect.

5.2	Termination; Effects of Termination.

(a)

Termination by Notice for Breach. Subject to the terms of, and as further set forth in, Sections 5.2(d) and 5.2(e), and upon written notice to the other Party (as used in this Section 5.2(a), the “Terminated Party”), a Party may terminate this Agreement as a whole, or the rights and licenses of the Terminated Party and all of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement, or the rights and licenses of any materially breaching Subsidiary of the Terminating Party, in the event the Terminating Party or any of its Subsidiaries commits a material breach of this Agreement and does not correct such material breach within sixty (60) days after such Terminating Party’s receipt of written notice complaining thereof.

(b)

Termination in Bankruptcy. Subject to the terms of, and as further set forth in, Sections 5.2(d) and 5.2(e), and upon written notice to the other Party (as used in this Section 5.2(b), the “Terminated Party”), a Party may terminate this Agreement as a whole, or the rights and licenses of the Terminated Party and all of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement, or the rights and licenses of any Subsidiary of the Terminated Party, if (i) any Bankruptcy Event occurs with respect to such Terminated Party or with respect to any such Subsidiaries, and (ii) following such Bankruptcy Event, such Terminated Party or any of its Subsidiaries takes any Prohibited Action.

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(e)(ii) of this Agreement, the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries acknowledge and agree that, as further described in Section 7.2(b), this Agreement is personal to the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries; that U.S. patent law and other applicable non-bankruptcy law excuses a Party, without its consent, from accepting performance from or rendering performance to anyone other than the other Party and its Subsidiaries; and that this Agreement constitutes an executory contract of the kind specified in Section 365(c)(1) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Parties and their respective Subsidiaries further acknowledge and agree that Section 365(e)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code does not prevent termination of rights and licenses as set forth in this Section 5.2(b), and that Section 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code permits such termination, in each instance on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 5.2(b). Each of the Parties and its Subsidiaries hereby waives the protections of the “automatic stay” contained in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent required to permit each other Party to exercise its rights of termination under this Section 5.2(b).

(c)

Termination Upon Change of Control. Subject to the terms of, and as further set forth in, Sections 5.2(d) and 5.2(e), this Agreement shall automatically terminate as a whole upon the consummation of a Change of Control of either Party.

(d)

Effects of Termination.

(i)

In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(a), and subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(e), the rights and licenses granted to any terminated Licensed Party(ies), including without limitation the rights granted under Section 3.8(d), shall terminate as of the effective date of such termination, but the rights and licenses granted to the non-terminated Licensed Party(ies) (including without limitation the Terminating Party and all of its non-terminated Subsidiaries) shall survive such termination of this Agreement subject to the non-terminated Licensed Party’s(ies’) continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(ii)

In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(c), and subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(e), the rights and licenses granted to both Parties under this Agreement, including without limitation the rights granted under Section 3.8(d), shall terminate as of the effective date of such termination.

(e)

Rights of Licensees upon any Rejection in Bankruptcy.

(i)

Generally. This Section 5.2(e)(i) is in all ways subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(e)(ii). All rights and licenses granted to any Licensed Party under or pursuant to this Agreement are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and, in the event that a case under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced by or against a Party or any of its Subsidiaries granting any right or license hereunder, each applicable Licensed Party shall have all of the rights set forth in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code to the maximum extent permitted thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, if any such case under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced by or against either Party or its Subsidiaries, each Licensed Party shall be entitled to a copy of any and all such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and the same, if not in the possession of such Licensed Party, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon such Licensed Party’s written request following the commencement of such bankruptcy proceeding, unless the Party or Subsidiary subject to such bankruptcy case, or its trustee or receiver, elects within thirty (30) days to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered as provided under clause (a) above, upon such Licensed Party’s request following any rejection of this Agreement or any right or license hereunder by or on behalf of the Party or Subsidiary subject to such bankruptcy proceeding. All rights of the parties under this Section 5.2(e) and under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code are in addition to and not in substitution of any and all other rights, powers, and remedies that each Party may have under this Agreement, the Bankruptcy Code, and any other applicable law.

INTEL & AMD CONFIDENTIAL

(ii)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the rights granted to each Party under any license hereunder are personal to the receiving party and dependent on such receiving party being the same party from whom the grantor is itself receiving a license. As such, all licenses contained here are mutually interdependent. No license is granted to any Party or Subsidiary of such Party who is not, itself at all times from and after the Effective Date, a licensor of all rights granted by such licensor as of the Effective Date hereunder. Moreover, no such license can survive the rejection of any other license to the extent such rejection (A) is not at the election of or a result of a motion filed or supported in writing by a Licensed Party in its capacity as a debtor or debtor in possession (the “Debtor Licensed Party”) and (B) occurs notwithstanding a written objection to such rejection filed and pursued by the Debtor Licensed Party. By way of illustration and for the avoidance of doubt, if a Debtor Licensed Party attempts to assume a license granted hereunder and a court of competent jurisdiction determines by final order that such license cannot be assumed or such court determines by a final order that such license is rejected or deemed rejected (by operation of law or otherwise), in each case on the grounds that such license cannot be assumed because of limitations on assumption contained in Bankruptcy Code Section 365(c)(1) and in each case over an objection of the Debtor Licensed Party described in the immediately preceding sentence, then, in such event, the Party and any of its Subsidiaries granting any right or license hereunder to the Debtor Licensed Party (a) shall not have, with respect to any license where such Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a Licensed Party to any license granted hereunder by any Debtor Licensed Party or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Debtor Granted Licenses”), any of the rights set forth in Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 5.2(e)(i) of the Agreement, (b) shall be deemed to have voluntarily and irrevocably elected to have treated all Debtor Granted Licenses for which it is a Licensed Party as terminated under Section 365(n)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (c) shall be deemed to have immediately terminated (without monetary penalty) all Debtor Granted Licenses granted to such Party or such Subsidiary.

(iii)

As against Third Parties. The Parties agree that Section 5.2(e)(i) shall apply to any contracts or agreements between any Party or Subsidiary subject to a case under the Bankruptcy Code, on the one hand, and any third party, on the other hand, and that any Licensed Party having a right to intellectual property or embodiments thereof pursuant to Section 5.2(e)(i) or Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be entitled to obtain such intellectual property and such embodiments from such third

- 20 -

INTEL & AMD CONFIDENTIAL

party, on its own behalf or through and in the name of such Party or Subsidiary, to the same extent as such Licensed Party has a right to obtain such intellectual property and such embodiments from such Party or Subsidiary or its trustee or receiver. In addition, in the event of any rejection of this Agreement or any right or license hereunder by any Party or Subsidiary subject to a case under the Bankruptcy Code, each Licensed Party shall have the right to contract directly with any third party, whether or not such third party has any contractual or other relationship with such Party or Subsidiary, with respect to any intellectual property rights or licenses related to this Agreement.

(iv)

Rights to Maintain and Enforce Intellectual Property. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, and subject in particular to Section 5.2(e)(ii) of this Agreement, if any Party or Subsidiary subject to a case under the Bankruptcy Code rejects this Agreement or any right or license hereunder, each Licensed Party shall nevertheless have the right to take all actions on its own behalf, and in the name of such Party or Subsidiary, to maintain the intellectual property in which the Licensed Party has been granted rights and licenses hereunder, and to enforce such rights and licenses against third parties, without the further consent or involvement of such Party or Subsidiary.

5.3	Survival. The provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3.4, 3.5, 4.1, 5.2(d), 5.3, 6 and 7 will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement as a whole.

6.	DISCLAIMER

6.1	Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as:

7.	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

7.1	Authority. Each Party and each Subsidiary represents and warrants that it has the right to grant the licenses and releases it grants under this Agreement.

7.2	No Assignment; Limitations on Assumption and Survival of Change of Control.

(a)

General. This Agreement is personal to the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries. Except as expressly permitted by Section 7.2(b)(iii), neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation under this Agreement shall be assignable or assumable, whether in connection with a change in ownership, bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, the sale or transfer of all, substantially all or any part of the business or assets of any Party or any Subsidiary or otherwise, including without limitation in connection with any Change of Control, either voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of such other Party.

(b)

Assignment or Assumption in Bankruptcy. This Section 7.2(b) is expressly subject to the terms of Section 5.2(e)(ii). Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any proposed or purported assumption or assignment of any right or duty under this Agreement by a Party or any Subsidiary during or in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding related to that Party or Subsidiary, the Parties agree and stipulate as follows:

(i)

This Agreement is an executory contract subject to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

INTEL & AMD CONFIDENTIAL

(ii)

This Agreement is personal to the Parties and their Subsidiaries. As a licensor of intellectual property under this Agreement, in entering this Agreement and granting the rights it grants under this Agreement, each Party and each Subsidiary has, in its efforts to protect its own valuable intellectual property, relied on the particular skills and business qualities of the recipients of such rights. Such skills and business qualities include, without limitation, the expected future innovation of the other Party and its Subsidiaries to be licensed to each Party and Subsidiary under this Agreement, and the particular market segments addressed by the other Party and its Subsidiaries in their businesses. The Parties and the Subsidiaries agree that in the event of either Party’s entry into bankruptcy proceedings of any kind (including without limitation the entry into bankruptcy proceedings of any kind by any Subsidiary), this Agreement is of the type described in Section 365(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code for the reasons set forth above and because, among other reasons, U.S. patent law prohibits the assignment of a patent license without the consent of the licensor.

(iii)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision, the Parties and their Subsidiaries agree that this Agreement may not assumed or assigned in bankruptcy by a Party or any of its Subsidiaries except upon the advance written consent of the other Party to this Agreement, provided, however, that, as a limited exception to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and Section 7.2(a) of this Agreement, the Parties and their Subsidiaries may assume (but not assign) this Agreement in bankruptcy (in whole and not in part) so long as all of the following conditions are satisfied (in addition to the cure and adequate assurance requirements contained in Section 365): (1) no Change of Control has occurred with respect to the assuming Party or Subsidiary, (2) no Prohibited Action has been taken by the assuming Party or Subsidiary, (3) in connection with, and as a condition to, such assumption, the assuming Party or Subsidiary expressly agrees, and a final court order approving such assumption provides, that such assuming Party or Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall continue to be bound by each and every term and provision of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 5.2 and 7.2 hereof. The Parties and their Subsidiaries expressly intend and agree, subject to the foregoing three conditions, to authorize a Licensed Party as a debtor or debtor in possession in a bankruptcy case to assume this Agreement notwithstanding (a) caselaw that states that a

- 23 -

INTEL & AMD CONFIDENTIAL

Licensed Party may only assume an executory contract if under applicable law such Licensed Party also has the right to assign that contract and (b) any restrictions on assumption effected by Bankruptcy Code Section 365(c)(1) with respect to contracts that may not be assigned.

(c)

Any purported assignment, assumption, or transfer in violation of this Section 7.2 shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and shall be null and void. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.2, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, the Subsidiaries and their permitted successors and assigns.

7.3

All notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing (regardless of whether the provision requiring such notice expressly calls for such notice to be in writing) and shall be delivered by hand, or if dispatched by prepaid air courier or by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, in each case with signature or written acknowledgement by or on behalf of the addressee required, and addressed as follows:

No Rule of Strict Construction. Regardless of which Party may have drafted this Agreement or any part thereof, no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party or any of its Subsidiaries. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court to be unenforceable, the Parties shall deem the provision to be modified to the extent necessary to allow it to be enforced to the extent permitted by law, or if it cannot be so modified, the provision will be severed and deleted from this Agreement, and the remainder of the Agreement will continue in effect.

7.5	Taxes. Each Party and each Subsidiary shall be responsible for the payment of its own tax liability arising from this transaction.

Entire Agreement.

Neither of the Parties or their Subsidiaries shall be bound by any conditions, definitions, warranties, understandings, or representations with respect to the subject matter hereof other than as expressly provided herein.

Modification; Waiver. No modification or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless assented to in writing by the Party who would be charged, or whose Subsidiary would be charged, and the waiver of any breach or default will not constitute a waiver of any other right under, or any subsequent breach or default of, this Agreement.

7.8

Governing Law. All matters arising out of or related to this Agreement, including without limitation all matters connected with its performance, shall be construed, interpreted, applied and governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of Delaware, without reference to conflict of laws principles.

7.9

Jurisdiction. All disputes and litigation arising out of or related to this Agreement, including without limitation matters connected with its performance, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or of the Federal courts sitting therein. Each Party and each Subsidiary hereby irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and irrevocably waives all objections to such venue.

7.10

Dispute Resolution. Any dispute arising directly under the express terms of this Agreement or the grounds for termination of any rights granted under this Agreement shall be resolved as follows: First, within forty five (45) days from one Party’s written request to the other, senior executives of both Parties shall meet to attempt to resolve such dispute. If the senior executives cannot resolve the dispute, either Party may then make a written demand for formal dispute resolution by tendering to the other Party notice of the dispute and its intent to invoke the terms of this Section 7.10. The Parties agree to meet within ninety (90) days of such a demand with an impartial mediator selected by mutual agreement to consider dispute resolution alternatives other than

In the event the Parties cannot agree on a mediator, they shall each select one nominator, who shall not at that time be employed by either Party, and the two nominators shall agree on and appoint the mediator. If the Parties have not agreed on an alternative method of dispute resolution within thirty (30) days after the one-day mediation, either Party may begin litigation proceedings.
