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. 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 |
Fujitsu / Transmeta Agreement | 16 | November, 2004 |
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. All communications will be sent to the addresses set forth below or to such other address as may be specified by either party to the other in accordance with this Section. Either party may change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party by the means specified in this Section. |

12.6 | Waiver. No failure by either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement will act as a waiver of such rights, and no waiver of a breach in a particular situation will be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. |
12.7 | Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in force. |
12.8 | Non-Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under this Agreement will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise. |
12.9 | Force Majeure.

Except as required by applicable law, neither party will individually make or issue any press release or public statement related to this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations undertaken by either party hereunder unless agreed otherwise in writing by both parties prior to the issuance of any such press release or public statement, provided that if a party is required by applicable law to make or issue any press release or statement, such party shall immediately notify the other party and both parties shall discuss in good faith the contents and timing thereof. |
12.13 | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. |
12.14 | Negotiations. The parties will attempt to resolve all disputes, claims, or controversies arising under or related to this Agreement or its subject matter or any right or obligation created by this Agreement (“Dispute”) through good faith negotiations conducted by the representatives of the parties.

12.15 | Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through good faith negotiations conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.14 above, then, the Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration conducted (i) in Santa Xxxxx County, California by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect if Transmeta is the defendant, and (ii) in Tokyo, Japan by the Japan Commercial Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect if Fujitsu is the defendant.
