Technology without the prior written consent of the other party, which the other party may withhold in its sole discretion, and (ii) neither party shall license or provide any Jointly Developed Technology to any competitor of the other party or
any infringer or potential infringer which the other party is pursuing or plans to pursue without the prior written consent of the other party, which the other party may withhold in its sole discretion. 
 13.4 Assignment of Rights. 
 (a) The
parties agree that the services under this Agreement have been commissioned by Spansion and therefore, any Technology resulting therefrom or any Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the extent such Technology and Intellectual Property Rights are
allocated to be owned by Spansion as described above in this Section 13, such Technology and Intellectual Property Rights shall be treated as commissioned works commissioned by Spansion. To the extent that the allocation of rights, title and
interests in and to any Intellectual Property specified in this Section 13 (entitled — Intellectual Property Ownership) do not automatically vest in the applicable Party, the other Party (the “Assignor”)
hereby assigns, transfers and conveys (and agrees to assign, transfer and convey or to cause to be assigned, transferred or conveyed) to the other Party (the 

  

 22 









 

 
 CONFIDENTIAL 
  

 
“Assignee”) such of the Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to all such Intellectual Property as is necessary to achieve
such allocation. The Assignor will provide, at the Assignee’s expense, all assistance reasonably required by the Assignee to consummate, record and perfect the foregoing assignment, including, but not limited to, signing all papers and
documents necessary to register and/or record such assignment with the United States Patent & Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, other state and federal agencies and all corresponding government agencies and departments in
all other countries, where applicable. Assignor hereby appoints Assignee as its attorney-in-fact to act as Assignor to execute and file the papers and documents specified in this Section 13 (entitled — Intellectual Property
Ownership) if Assignor is unwilling or unable to comply with the foregoing sentence of this paragraph (a) (entitled — Assignment of Rights). 
 (b) To the extent, if any, that any right, title or interest in and to any Technology or Intellectual Property Right intended to be assigned to Assignor pursuant to paragraph (a) above is at any time determined
in any jurisdiction not to belong to Assignor, then Assignee hereby grants an exclusive, even with respect to Assignee, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free and fully paid up license to Assignor, (transferable and sublicensable by Assignor without
limitation) to exploit such Technology or Intellectual intended to be owned by Assignor under the terms and conditions of Section 13 and all rights therein in such jurisdiction for any purpose. Such exclusive license shall continue in effect
for the maximum term as may now or hereafter be permissible under applicable law. 
 13.5 Protection and Enforcement. Each Party shall
have the right, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, to apply for, maintain and enforce and Intellectual Property Rights (including registrations therefor) with respect to the Technology owned by such Party as described above in this
Section 13. Each party shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the protection and enforcement of Jointly Developed Technology. If the parties jointly decide to file for Intellectual Property protection of any Jointly Developed Technology,
the parties shall, unless they otherwise agree in writing, jointly file and maintain such Intellectual Property Rights (including registrations therefor), with each party bearing one-half of the costs of such filing and maintenance. 
 13.6 Overlapping Technology. If and to the extent that SMIC Technology and Spansion Technology are substantially the same, each Party shall retain
their innate or pre-existing ownership therein. For example, Spansion will transfer process information to SMIC, all of which will constitute Spansion Technology, but some of which will already be in SMIC’s possession as existing
semiconductor manufacturing technology. The Parties do not intend this article 13 to alter their respective ownership interests in such substantially similar technology.
