9.2 Termination for Change of Control of Party. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, or to invoke the provisions of Section 9.3.3 if this Agreement was previously terminated, in the event the other Party or its Semiconductor Group undergoes a Change of Control (including a Change of Control in connection with bankruptcy proceedings of such other Party) by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination or invocation to the other Party, provided that the terminating or invoking Party must exercise such right no later than ninety (90) days after receiving notice of such Change of Control.

9.3 Effect on Licenses

9.3.1 Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, the rights, licenses and immunities granted by each Party and its Subsidiaries hereunder shall survive such termination and shall continue until the expiration of the last to expire of the Licensed Patents, subject to Sections 9.2 and 9.3.3.

9.3.2 Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2, the rights, licenses and immunities granted by each Party and its Subsidiaries hereunder shall survive such termination solely under those Licensed Patents that are entitled to an effective filing date that is on or before, and are licensed as of, the Change of Control Date, and shall continue until the expiration of the last to expire of such Licensed Patents, subject to Sections 9.2 and 9.3.3.

9.3.3 Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 or invocation of the provisions of this Section 9.3.3 pursuant to Section 9.2, the rights, licenses and immunities granted under Circuit Patents to Acquired Party and its Subsidiaries hereunder shall be limited solely to:

(b) each Existing Product and Pending Product of Acquirer as of the Change of Control Date that would have been in direct competition with an Acquired Party Covered Product if both such products were offered for sale contemporaneously by different Persons (“Acquirer Competitive Product”); and

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, once the rights, licenses and immunities granted under Circuit Patents to an Acquired Party and its Subsidiaries hereunder have been limited

10.3 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America, as applied to agreements among California residents entered into and wholly to be performed within the State of California (without reference to any choice or conflicts of laws rules or principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction).

Except as expressly provided herein, the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment, sale, transfer, delegation or other disposition of such rights or obligations by either Party, except as permitted herein, shall be null and void.

This Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any prior communications, representations, understandings and agreements, either oral or written, between the Parties with respect to such subject matter; provided, however, that the rights, licenses and immunities granted to the Parties in such prior agreements shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the FASL (Japan) Termination Agreement (including Section 3.6 thereof). This Agreement may not be altered or amended except by a written instrument signed by authorized legal representatives of both Parties and Fujitsu. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective. Failure, neglect or delay by a Party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or its rights or remedies at any time will not be construed and will not be deemed to be a waiver of such Party’s rights under this Agreement and will not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of this Agreement or prejudice such Party’s right to take subsequent action. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege granted under this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
