Exhibit 10.5
TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Technology and Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the date of the last signature to it and is effective as of [●] (“Effective Date”) between Intel Corporation, a company established and existing under the laws of Delaware and the United States (“Intel”), and Mobileye Vision Technologies Ltd., a company established and existing under the laws of the State of Israel (“Mobileye”). Intel and Mobileye are each referred to in this Agreement as a “party” and, collectively, the “parties.”
BACKGROUND
The parties contemplate that Mobileye Global Inc., the indirect parent of Mobileye, will make an initial public offering of its Class A common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
After this initial public offering, the parties will continue to collaborate on technical development projects under the terms of this Agreement. Intel will also provide additional services to Mobileye and its Affiliates, including for payment.
This Agreement provides a framework for, and describes how the parties will allocate ownership of new technology resulting from, these technical development projects and services. It will replace the Mobileye and Intel Development and Reimbursement Agreement dated 3 December 2018 (“DRA”) which will be terminated by separate agreement executed on or around the date of execution of this Agreement. Projects for development and manufacturing relating to LiDAR will be done by the parties solely under the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement, executed on or around the date of execution of this Agreement (“LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement”).
Mobileye and its Affiliates also have hired certain former Intel radar engineers. Intel is licensing intellectual property rights to certain radar technology, including the rights to certain technology created by those engineers, to Mobileye to allow Mobileye to work on Mobileye Sensor Products as detailed herein.

A party may sublicense the license above to end users or authorized manufacturers of its Licensed Product, if the associated SOW specifies that the purpose of the Deliverable is incorporation into a Licensed Product, and a sublicense is necessary. Any license to Intel for commercial distribution of Mobileye software must be in a separate agreement. The SOW may expressly set out specific license grants in respect of specific Deliverables, and these will displace the license grant in this Section 8.5 for those Deliverables. In this Section 8.5, “Licensed Product” means the product (other than a LiDAR product) expressly permitted to be developed under the SOW pursuant to which the Deliverable was provided. |
8.6. | Project Patent Rights Cross-License. Subject to Section 8.3, the party that solely owns Project Patent Rights (other than Excluded Rights) hereby grants to the other party and its Affiliates, a world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-terminable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable (except as permitted by Section 18.3 (Assignment)) license under its Project Patent Rights (other than Excluded Rights) to (A) make, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise exploit and dispose of any Project Invention that is embodied in or used in any party’s products or services, and (B) practice and have practiced any Project Invention in a party’s manufacturing or services. |
8.7. | Sublicense Rights. Nothing in this Agreement affects the rights or obligations of either party under the Subsidiary Agreement. The license in Section 8.6 is in addition to and not in place of any licenses that may be granted under the Subsidiary Agreement. |
8.8. | Affiliate Rights. Any licenses granted under this Agreement by one party to the other party’s Affiliate (“Applicable Entity”) will terminate immediately without notice on the day that the Applicable Entity is no longer an Affiliate of that other party. Licenses granted under this Agreement by the Applicable Entity, before it ceases to be an Affiliate, will remain in force. Because Mobileye is not an “Affiliate” of Intel within the meaning of this Agreement, this provision does not affect the existence or otherwise of the licenses granted under this Agreement by Intel to Mobileye, even if Intel ceases to Control Mobileye. |
8.9. | Trademark License. The parties may use each other’s name to refer to that party’s products or services. After the IPO Date, the parties will meet to agree on trademark logo license terms and usage guidelines. |
