The parties have agreed that the limitations specified above will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement and will apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose. | |
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; provided that any such assignee, transferee or successor agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any rights granted to Transmeta in Section 2.6 in this Agreement shall be granted solely to Transmeta and shall not be assigned or transferred to any party without Toshiba’s prior written consent. 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. | |
12.2 | Independent Contractors. In performing their respective duties under this Agreement, each of the parties will be operating as an independent contractor. Nothing contained herein will in any way constitute any association, partnership, or joint venture between the parties hereto. 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 with respect to such a breach, the non-breaching party will have the right to obtain specific performance, injunction or other appropriate equitable relief. | |
12.4 | Notice. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing and delivered by confirmed facsimile transmission, by courier or overnight delivery services, or by certified mail, and in each instance will be deemed given upon receipt.
