12.   GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
12.1   Assignment. Neither party may assign or transfer this Agreement and/or any rights and/or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s express prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably delayed or withheld; provided that any such assignee or transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any attempt to assign or transfer this Agreement, without such consent, will be null and void and without effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign or transfer this Agreement, without the other party’s consent, to a third party that succeeds to all or substantially all of its assets or related business (whether by sale, merger, operation of law or otherwise), and Transmeta may so assign this Agreement to an assignee or transferee of, or successor in interest to, Transmeta’s rights to license the Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Transmeta Technology (any such third-party assignee, transferee or successor in interest is referred to as a “Transmeta Acquirer”); provided that any such Transmeta Acquirer agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Transmeta expressly acknowledges, agrees and confirms that, the license rights granted to Fujitsu under Section 2.1 will remain in full force and effect, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer by Transmeta of this Agreement or any of Transmeta’s assets or Transmeta’s right to license the Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Transmeta Technology to a Transmeta Acquirer. Transmeta shall notify Fujitsu in writing of the name of the Transmeta Acquirer as soon as it is reasonably possible for Transmeta to do so. Subject to the foregoing, the rights and obligations of the parties will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ permitted successors and lawful transferees and assigns. Fujitsu agrees, represents and warrants on behalf of itself and all sublicensed Fujitsu Subsidiaries that it will not transfer or assign any Patents in or to Fujitsu Improvements, except under terms and conditions that bind the transferee or assignee to the terms of Section 2.6.
 
12.2   Independent Contractors. In performing their respective duties under this Agreement, each of the parties will be operating as an independent contractor.

Neither party will have the power to bind the other party or incur obligations on the other party’s behalf without the other party’s prior written consent.
 
12.3   Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement with respect to the other party’s Intellectual Property Rights or Confidential Information may cause such other party to incur irreparable harm and significant injury that would be difficult to ascertain and would not be compensable by damages alone. Accordingly, each party acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any and all remedies that the non-breaching party may have at law or otherwise
