any information that is inadvertently retained in the unaided memories of the receiving Party’s
employees or contractors who have rightful access to the disclosing Party’s Confidential

14.3 Either party shall be able to terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days written
notice to the other party, provided (i) all purchase orders shall survive termination; and (ii)
Transmeta shall continue to provide support as described herein through the end of the Delivery
Period.
14.4 In the event that Transmeta determines to discontinue the Contract Product, Transmeta
will provide AMD at least nine (9) months notice, unless such discontinuance results from safety
issues, law or regulation, liability concerns, or actual or potential infringement issues. In such
event, AMD may, prior to the end of the nine (9) month period, place, and Transmeta will accept, a
non-cancelable, binding, non-reschedulable purchase order complying with the terms of this
Agreement for the Contract Product proposed to be discontinued so long as requested delivery dates
are consistent with required order lead times and delivery is to be no later than nine (9) months
after the end of such notice period (“Delivery Period”).
14.5 In the event Transmeta files a petition for bankruptcy or insolvency, has an involuntary
petition filed against it not subsequently dismissed within a reasonable time, commences an action
providing for relief under bankruptcy laws, files for the appointment of a
receiver, or is adjudicated a bankrupt concern, subject to reasonable terms and conditions,
including protection of Transmeta intellectual property, AMD may purchase Contract Product from a
previously authorized Transmeta manufacturer or manufacture the Contract Product using its own
resources.
14.6 Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, all payments due the other Party at or
before the time of termination or expiration of this Agreement shall be paid in due course to the
demanding Party, all the terms and conditions of Sections 6, 9, 11, 13 and 16 shall survive
expiration or termination of this Agreement.

15. FINANCIAL NEGOTIATION
15.1 Promptly following the Effective Date, AMD and Transmeta will negotiate in good faith the
terms and conditions of a written agreement by which AMD purchases from Transmeta equity, or debt
convertible into equity, of Transmeta. If the parties agree upon such terms and conditions, they
shall enter into such mutually agreed upon written agreement and perform their obligations
thereunder.
16. MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and writings and constitutes the entire
and only Agreement between the Parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and it may not
be changed, altered, or amended except in writing signed by duly authorized representatives of the
Parties.
16.2 In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and those contained in
any related purchase orders, acknowledgments, Exhibits hereto, or acceptances, the terms of this
numbered Sections in the body of this Agreement shall control.
16.3 The failure of either Party to enforce, at any time, or for any period of time, any
provision of this Agreement, to exercise any election or option provided herein, or to require, at
any time, performance of any provision hereof, shall not be construed to be a waiver of such
provisions, nor in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof, or the right
of any Party thereafter to enforce any such provision.
16.4 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of California, as if entered into and performed entirely in California between California
residents. The Parties agree that the UN Convention for the International Sale of Goods shall not
apply. If any provision herein is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
16.5 Neither Party shall be liable in any manner for failure or delay upon fulfillment of all
or part of this Agreement, directly or indirectly due to acts of God, governmental orders or
restrictions, war, threat of war, warlike conditions, fire, hostilities, sanctions, mobilization,
blockage, embargo, detention, revolution, riot, looting, strike, lockout, labor disturbances, or
accident.
16.6 Neither Party shall assign or otherwise dispose of this Agreement, or of any rights,
duties, or obligations arising under this Agreement, without first obtaining the prior written
approval of the other Party.
16.7 The Parties shall comply with all applicable U.S. export laws and shall not export,
re-export, resell, ship or divert any Contract Products or controlled technical information or
software furnished by the other Party to any country for which the U.S. requires an export license
or other governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval.
16.8 All captions and descriptive headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to be used in interpreting the obligations of the Parties under this
Agreement.

16.9 Representatives and personnel of each Party, during the time they are present on the
premises of the other Party, shall be subject to all rules and regulations prevailing on such
premises. Each Party shall be responsible for the payment of all compensation and expenses, unless
otherwise specified in this Agreement, of its respective representatives and personnel. None of
the representatives or personnel of either Party shall be considered for any reason to be an
employee of the other Party.
16.10 Nothing contained herein, or done in pursuance of this Agreement, shall constitute the
Parties as entering upon a joint venture or shall constitute either Party hereto the agent for the
other Party for any purpose or in any sense whatsoever.
16.11 AMD and Transmeta will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising under this
Agreement through consultation and negotiation in good faith and a spirit of mutual cooperation.
The Parties agree that any disputes which arise out of or are based upon this Agreement shall be
subject to mediation before any legal or administrative process may be initiated by either Party,
except disputes relating to intellectual property which by their nature require immediate or
extraordinary relief. There shall be a forty-five (45) day time limit on this mediation process,
beginning from the initial request for mediation, after which legal remedies may be initiated by
either Party if no resolution has been adopted in writing to both Parties satisfaction. The
Parties agree to cooperate in good faith in the selection of a mediator (if the Parties decide a
formal mediator is needed), and to share equally the costs of the mediator’s services. Each Party
shall bear their own expenses associated with the mediation process. The use of any alternative
dispute resolution procedure will not be construed under the doctrines of laches, waiver or
estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either Party. And nothing in this paragraph will
prevent either Party from resorting to judicial proceedings if: (a) good faith efforts to resolve
the dispute under these procedures have been unsuccessful; or (b) interim relief from a court is
necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one Party or to others.
16.12 The Agreement was negotiated in the spirit of mutual cooperation whereby no clause
should be necessarily construed against any one Party based upon the finding that that Party
provided all or most of the contractual language contained within that clause.
