2. PAST RELEASE AND DISMISSAL OF SUIT
|
2.1 |
INTERGRAPH hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges AMD and its SUBSIDIARIES and AFFILIATES, AMD CUSTOMERS and END USER CUSTOMERS from any and all claims which could have been asserted on or before the EFFECTIVE DATE for acts of infringement or alleged
infringement of the INTERGRAPH PATENTS by a product comprising or incorporating an AMD MICROPROCESSOR under which a license or a right is herein granted by INTERGRAPH to or for AMD and its SUBSIDIARIES and AFFILIATES, AMD CUSTOMERS and END USER CUSTOMERS, which, if
performed after the EFFECTIVE DATE, would or could have been licensed, sublicensed or permitted under or pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
|
|
2.2 |
AMD agrees to and will instruct its attorneys promptly upon the execution of this Agreement to take the necessary action to dismiss the Declaratory Judgment action with prejudice. AMD, through its attorneys, will make the necessary filings to dismiss the
Declaratory Judgment action within seven (7) days after the execution of this Agreement. Each PARTY agrees to bear their own respective costs and attorneys' fees associated with such Declaratory Judgment action. |
|
|
2.3 |
INTERGRAPH agrees that it will not seek damages or other legal recourse against AMD CUSTOMERS based upon AMD MICROPROCESSORS, either alone or in combination with other elements, or the inclusion of AMD MICROPROCESSORS in LICENSED PRODUCTS in the pending lawsuit of Intergraph Hardware Technologies Company v. Dell Computer Corporation, et al., filed in the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 2-03CV-312-TJW (the "DELL LITIGATION"). In furtherance of this agreement, INTERGRAPH will instruct its attorneys promptly upon the execution of this Agreement to seek to amend the list of accused products in such litigation by removing those products that now constitute LICENSED PRODUCTS to the extent that the identity of such products is known or becomes known. To the extent that any claim against an AMD CUSTOMER in the pending litigation arises solely from the infringement of a right licensed to AMD or action permitted by INTERGRAPH hereunder in connection with such license, that claim is released, acquitted or discharged in accordance with Section 2.1 above. |
3. GRANTS
|
3.1 |
INTERGRAPH hereby grants to AMD, for the lives of the INTERGRAPH PATENTS, a personal worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, non-transferable (except as specifically set forth herein) royalty-bearing license, without right to sublicense except as provided in
Section 3.4, under the INTERGRAPH PATENTS: |
||
|
3.1.1 to make, use, import, export, sell, offer to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of AMD MICROPROCESSORS; and |
|||
|
3.1.2 have AMD MICROPROCESSORS made, subject to Section 3.2. |
|||
|
3.2 |
Have Made Rights: |
||
|
3.2.1 |
AMD's rights to have AMD MICROPROCESSORS manufactured for it by third parties under the licenses granted under Section 3.1 above shall apply only when the circuit designs (e.g., a behavioral model, such as RTL code, or other similar behavioral model that
includes electrical and/or functional specifications, or an actual physical layout design such as a GDS model) for the products to be manufactured by such third party if provided to the third party by AMD as part of the manufacture process, are created solely or
jointly by or for AMD and furnished to the third party manufacturer by or for AMD. |
||
|
3.2.2 |
A manufacturer that is manufacturing AMD MICROPROCESSORS under the "have made" rights in this Section 3.2 may ship or drop ship AMD MICROPROCESSORS in accordance with the purchase instructions of AMD CUSTOMERS, provided that all sales, lease
transactions or other dispositions of the AMD MICROPROCESSORS shipped in this manner shall be under orders that AMD CUSTOMERS have placed. |
||
|
3.2.3 |
Upon INTERGRAPH's written request AMD shall, within thirty (30) days after receiving such request, inform INTERGRAPH in writing whether, and if so, to what extent, any manufacturer is manufacturing any AMD MICROPROCESSOR for AMD pursuant to the "have made"
rights granted under this Agreement. |
||
|
3.3 |
INTERGRAPH agrees that the sales, lease and disposition rights granted under Section 3.1 are unrestricted rights and that the products into or with which the AMD MICROPROCESSORS are incorporated or combined shall be LICENSED PRODUCTS under this Agreement for which
no further license or royalty is due. AMD may combine AMD MICROPROCESSORS with other AMD products or with third-party products and sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the resulting products to AMD CUSTOMERS or END USER CUSTOMERS; or AMD may sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of AMD MICROPROCESSORS to AMD CUSTOMERS for incorporation or combination with or into products manufactured by such AMD CUSTOMERS (which may also include components from third-party sources). In either event, once the initial sale, lease or
disposition of the AMD MICROPROCESSOR occurs, there shall be no further liability (including but not limited to royalties) or obligation under the INTERGRAPH PATENTS in connection with any subsequent sale, lease, disposition or use of the LICENSED PRODUCT by or to an
END USER CUSTOMER OR AN AMD CUSTOMER. |
||
|
3.4 |
AMD may sublicense its rights under Sections 3.1 through 3.3, subject to all associated obligations and limitations, to any AMD AFFILIATE, provided that AMD shall remain principally liable for any breach of a term of this Agreement by any AMD AFFILIATE. |
||
|
3.5 |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the licenses granted hereunder shall only apply to AMD MICROPROCESSORS and the interaction between or combination of AMD MICROPROCESSORS and other components in the LICENSED PRODUCT. Should the
LICENSED PRODUCT contain a third-party MICROPROCESSOR, the inclusion of that MICROPROCESSOR in the LICENSED PRODUCT may need to be separately licensed from INTERGRAPH by the third-party MICROPROCESSOR manufacturer and/or the AMD CUSTOMER. |
||
|
3.6 |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, under no circumstance shall any of the rights or licenses granted hereunder be assigned, transferred or otherwise extend to Intel Corporation. |
||
|
3.7 |
The licenses granted under this Agreement do not include any right for AMD to act as a foundry for MICROPROCESSORS and AMD agrees that it will not use any right granted hereunder to act as a foundry for MICROPROCESSORS, wherein for purposes of this Section 3.7, a
"foundry" is defined as an entity that manufactures MICROPROCESSORS developed primarily and substantially by third parties. It shall not be a breach of this Section 3.7 if a third party works jointly with AMD to produce the design for a
MICROPROCESSOR or if AMD commissions a third party to design a MICROPROCESSOR for AMD, provided that the resulting MICROPROCESSOR is either manufactured by AMD or is manufactured for AMD in compliance with Section 3.2. |
||
|
3.8 |
Subject to the rights expressly granted in this Section 3, INTERGRAPH reserves all rights in the INTERGRAPH PATENTS. |
||
4. PAYMENTS
|
4.1 |
In consideration for the release, licenses and covenants granted herein, AMD shall pay to INTERGRAPH: |
|||||||
|
|
4.1.1 |
Ten Million U.S. Dollars (US$ 10,000,000.00), within twenty-five (25) days of the EFFECTIVE DATE. |
||||||
|
|
4.2 |
In further consideration for the release, licenses and covenants granted herein, AMD shall pay to INTERGRAPH in addition to the fees payable under Section 4.1: |
||||||
|
|
4.2.1 |
For the calendar year 2005, a royalty rate of two percent (2%) of the PROFIT OF AMD. |
||||||
|
|
4.2.2 |
For the calendar year 2006, a royalty rate of two percent (2%) of the PROFIT OF AMD. |
||||||
|
|
4.2.3 |
For the calendar year 2007, a royalty rate of two percent (2%) of the PROFIT OF AMD. |
||||||
|
|
4.2.4 |
With respect to the royalty payments pursuant to this Section, the royalty rate payable by AMD pursuant to Sections 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 shall be payable for each respective year if and only if PROFIT OF AMD is positive for that corresponding year.
However, in no event shall the payment due in one year by AMD exceed Five Million U.S. Dollars (US$ 5,000,000.00), and there shall be no carry-over of PROFITS on which payment is due from the preceding year. Further, in no event shall the total payment
due by AMD over the three-year period exceed Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars (US$ 15,000,000.00). |
||||||
|
|
4.3 |
Each yearly payment, if any, shall be due within forty-five (45) days following the end of the calendar year of AMD for which payment is being made. All payments hereunder shall be made in United States currency. |
||||||
|
|
4.4 |
AMD acknowledges that the two percent (2%) royalty rate set forth herein is reasonable in light of: the litigation between the PARTIES; the issues raised by that litigation; the fact that the PARTIES' negotiations do not reflect what a willing licensee would pay a
willing licensor in an arm's-length transaction; and AMD's financial condition. All rights and licenses hereunder shall become fully paid-up upon the payment set forth in Section 4.2.3, if any is required, being made by AMD, or if no payment is required,
then the licenses hereunder shall be fully paid up on December 31, 2007. |
||||||
|
|
4.5 |
REPORTS AND RECORDS |
||||||
|
|
4.5.1 |
AMD shall maintain, audit, and retain its books and records in accordance with applicable SEC public company requirements. If AMD should cease to be subject to SEC public company accounting and reporting requirements at any time, AMD shall continue to keep
full, true and accurate books and records which shall contain all information that may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of showing AMD's compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation, the amounts payable to INTERGRAPH hereunder. Such books
of account shall be kept at AMD's principal place of business or the principal place of business of the appropriate division or affiliated entity of AMD to which this Agreement relates. Such books and the supporting data shall be open to inspection on behalf of
INTERGRAPH upon no less than ten (10) business days written notice during reasonable business hours to the extent necessary for the purpose of verifying AMD's royalty statement or compliance in other respects with this Agreement. Such inspection shall be made
not more often than once each calendar year at the expense of INTERGRAPH by an independent certified public accountant appointed by INTERGRAPH and to whom AMD has no reasonable objection. AMD may require that the independent certified public accountant execute
a reasonable nondisclosure agreement as a condition to obtaining access to AMD's books and records. AMD shall retain such records for not less than three (3) years after the close of each calendar year to which the books and records pertain. In the
event the independent certified public accountant determines that AMD has underpaid any royalty, INTERGRAPH shall promptly inform AMD and AMD shall have forty-five (45) days to pay INTERGRAPH any undisputed amounts owned to them. If AMD fails to make such payment for
undisputed amounts owed by AMD to INTERGRAPH with the forty-five day period, then the payment shall be subject to the interest obligations set forth in Section 4.5.4. In addition, if the underpayment is greater than five percent (5%), AMD shall pay the
reasonable cost to INTERGRAPH of having the independent certified public accountant conduct the inspection. |
||||||
|
4.5.2 |
Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar year in which royalties are due, AMD will deliver to INTERGRAPH a royalty report, which shall include, at minimum, the following |
|||||||
|
4.5.2.1 |
the quantity of AMD MICROPROCESSORS sold, leased or otherwise disposed of by AMD and its Affiliates for which royalties are due hereunder; |
|||||||
|
4.5.2.2 |
the operating income received for all AMD MICROPROCESSORS for which royalties are due under this Agreement sold during the period; and |
|||||||
|
4.5.2.3 |
the royalty computations. |
|||||||
|
4.5.3 |
With each such report submitted, AMD shall pay INTERGRAPH the royalties due and payable under this Agreement. If no royalties shall be due, AMD shall so report. |
|||||||
|
4.5.4 |
Any payments due from AMD that are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate which is the lesser of one percent (1.0%) per month or the maximum legal rate. |
|||||||
|
4.5.5 |
AMD shall provide to INTERGRAPH a copy of all information that it receives from its Affiliates relating to the revenue that those Affiliates receive from the sale, lease or other disposition of AMD MICROPROCESSORS to the extent that such information would be
reportable by AMD under this Section 4.5 if the sale, lease or other disposition of the AMD MICROPROCESSOR had been made by AMD directly. |
|||||||
|
4.6 |
Payments by AMD shall be made by wire transfer to [redacted]. Notice of payments shall be sent by AMD to INTERGRAPH'S address in Section 6.12.1. |
|||||||
|
4.7 |
INTERGRAPH shall bear all taxes imposed on it with respect to the payments of this Section: provided, however, that if required by applicable law, AMD shall withhold the amount of taxes levied on payments to be made by AMD pursuant to this Agreement, and shall
promptly make payment of the withheld amount to the appropriate tax authorities and shall transmit to INTERGRAPH official tax receipts or other evidence issued by such appropriate tax authorities to enable INTERGRAPH to support a claim for tax credit with respect to
such withheld taxes so paid by AMD. Except for the foregoing, AMD shall be solely responsible and shall pay all taxes, levies and assessments, however characterized arising from or relating to the rights licensed to it hereunder and its exercise of those
rights. |
|||||||
5. TERM, SUSPENSION, TERMINATION, AND ASSIGNABILITY
|
5.1 |
The term of this Agreement shall be from the EFFECTIVE DATE until the expiration of the last to expire INTERGRAPH PATENTS. |
||
|
5.2 |
In the event of any material breach of this Agreement by either PARTY hereto, if such breach is not corrected within thirty (30) days after written notice describing such breach, this Agreement may be terminated forthwith by further written notice to that effect
from the PARTY noticing the breach. |
||
|
5.3 |
Assignment. Except as provided in this Section 5.3, neither party shall assign or transfer this Agreement (including any right or interest therein) or delegate any obligation under this Agreement to any third party, without the other party's
prior written consent. For purposes of this Section 5.3, an "assignment" by AMD under this Section shall include the assignment of this Agreement (including any right or interest therein) or delegation of any obligation under this Agreement, and
shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the following: (a) a change in the beneficial ownership of AMD of greater than fifty percent (50%) (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions to a single entity); or (b) the acquisition of more
than fifty percent (50%) of AMD's voting stock (or of non-voting securities convertible into voting stock) by another party (whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions to a single entity). Any attempted assignment in contravention
of this Section 5.3 shall be void and ineffective. |
||
|
5.4 |

Suspension of Licenses. |
||
|
5.5.1 |
Suspension. In the event that AMD fails to make the payment pursuant to Section 4.1.1 hereunder when due and payable, all licenses granted hereunder shall be suspended immediately and without further action by INTERGRAPH only until such time as AMD
pays in full all amounts due, together with applicable late payment charges as provided in Section 4.5.4. |
||
|
5.5.2 |
Consequences of Suspension. All AMD MICROPROCESSORS sold, leased or otherwise disposed of during such suspension period shall be unlicensed under this Agreement. The licenses to any AMD MICROPROCESSORS sold, leased or otherwise disposed of
subsequent to any such period of suspension, and the rights of AMD CUSTOMERS and END USER CUSTOMERS in the resulting LICENSED PRODUCTS, shall be unaffected by the suspension. |
||
|
5.5.3 |
License of Suspended Products. Products that are sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of during any suspension period shall be deemed licensed as though there was no suspension period upon the cure by AMD of the breach of its payment obligation under
Section 4.1.1 of this Agreement. |
||
|
5.5.4 |
Good-Faith Refusals. The licenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be suspended if AMD's refusal to pay is based upon a good-faith belief that INTERGRAPH or its Affiliates has breached the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that if
it is subsequently shown that there was no reasonable basis for AMD's assertion, AMD shall pay in the amounts due and the late payment charges under Section 4.5.4. |
||
|
5.6 |
The parties agree that Sections 3, 4, 5.5, 5.6, 6.7, 6.9, 6.10, and 6.12 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. |
