U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds to such financial institution and account number as Parent may designate in writing to Spansion. 
  
 6.4 Exchange Rates. In the event of any Net Sales from the sale or other distribution of a Licensed Product by Spansion in any currency other than
U.S. Dollars, for purposes of determining the Royalty Payment, Spansion shall use the monthly average of the closing quote of the Exchange Rate for the month in which such sale or other distribution was effected. 
  
 6.5 Late Payments. If Spansion fails to make any payment on or before
the required payment date, Spansion shall be liable for interest on such payment, for the period commencing on such required payment date and ending on the date such payment is made, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum amount
allowed by Applicable Law, whichever is less. 
  
 6.6
Taxes. In the event that Spansion is required by Applicable Law to withhold any Tax from any amount payable by Spansion to Parent hereunder, (a) Spansion shall withhold such Tax and remit such withheld amount to the appropriate Governmental
Authorities in accordance with Applicable Law and shall promptly report to Parent the amounts and dates of all such withholdings, and (b) the amount otherwise payable to Parent by Spansion hereunder upon which such withholding is based shall be
decreased accordingly; provided, that Spansion shall in all events provide Parent with five Business Days advance written notice of the amount of any withholding to be made hereunder. Spansion shall promptly furnish Parent with official copies (or
certified copies if official copies are not available) of each Tax receipt received from any Governmental Authority and a copy of any document pertaining to Parent filed with any Governmental Authority (including United States Internal Revenue
Service Form 1042-S), and shall furnish Parent with such other documentation relating to any such deductions or withholdings as may be reasonably requested by Parent. If at any time Parent believes that Spansion may in the future adopt withholding
practices in respect of Parent that are not in accordance with the requirements of Applicable Law, Parent shall notify Spansion of the basis for its objection to such withholding practices and, if the matter cannot be resolved by agreement, Spansion
shall refer the issue to an independent law firm of national stature (which shall not be a law firm that is

 regularly used by Spansion or AMD), which shall advise Spansion concerning the legal obligations of Spansion in respect
of withholding, and thereafter Spansion shall act consistently with such advice in matters pertaining to withholding. If Spansion acts in accordance with the advice of such law firm and a Governmental Authority later asserts in writing to any Party
that Spansion failed to withhold Tax from amounts payable to Parent hereunder at the time and/or in the amounts required by Chapter 3 of the Code or comparable provisions of other Tax laws in respect of Parent, then Parent shall promptly upon
receipt of a copy of such writing accompanied by a written notice from Spansion specifying that a payment is required pursuant to this Section 6.6 pay to such Governmental Authority an amount in full satisfaction of the amount of Taxes so asserted
by such Governmental Authority. If Parent does not promptly pay such amount to such Governmental Authority, then, unless Parent provides satisfactory written evidence of settlement in full of the matter asserted by the Governmental Authority,
Spansion shall withhold such amount from the next payment(s) to Parent, shall promptly pay such withheld amounts over to such Governmental Authority in payment of such asserted liability for Taxes. 
  
 6.7 Audit. Parent may audit the books and records of Spansion and its
Subsidiaries as may reasonably be required to verify the accuracy and sufficiency of Spansion’s payment of Royalty Payments hereunder. Any such audit shall be at Parent’s expense; provided that, if such audit reveals an underpayment
of five percent (5%) or more, Spansion shall promptly pay to Parent all costs and expenses of such audit. Spansion shall promptly pay Parent the amount of any underpayment revealed by any such audit. Parent’s rights under this provision, with
respect to Royalty Payments paid and payable on Net Sales occurring during each Semi-Annual Period, shall continue for a period of six (6) years after the last day of such Semi-Annual Period. 
  
 7. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS 

 
 7.1 Warranties. Subject to Section 10.1, each Party represents and
warrants to the other Party that it has the right, and will continue during the term of this Agreement to have the right, to grant to or for the benefit of the other Party the rights and licenses granted hereunder in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and such grant of rights and licenses does not, and will not during the term of this Agreement, conflict with the rights and obligations of such Party under any other license, agreement, contract or other undertaking. 
  
 7.2 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY
TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR OFFERING DOCUMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES (AND EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS) ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. 
  
 8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 
  

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR BUSINESS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 9. TERM AND TERMINATION 
  
 9.1 Term. This Agreement will be effective as of the Effective Date,
and will continue in full force and effect until the later to occur of (a) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
Effective Date, or (b) Parent transferring 100% of its Aggregate Ownership Interest in Spansion, at which time this Agreement shall terminate, unless earlier terminated as set forth in this Section 9. 
  
 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

Party and its Subsidiaries sublicensed hereunder as of the Change of Control Date (“Acquired Party Covered Product”);

 (c) Successor Products. 
  

 13 








 9.3.4 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 pursuant to this Section 9.3.3, in no event shall such rights, licenses and immunities be subsequently broadened or expanded to cover additional products or
Patents. 
  
 9.4 Effect on Royalties. To the extent that
Spansion retains any of the licenses granted under Sections 3 and 5 following any termination of this Agreement, the obligations of Spansion under Section 6.1 shall survive. To the extent that Section 6.1 survives, Sections 6.1 through 6.7 shall
survive. 
  
 9.5 Continuing Liability. The termination of
this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability, obligation or agreement which has already accrued at the time of termination. Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not constitute a waiver or release of,
or otherwise be deemed to prejudice or adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims, whether for damages or otherwise, which a Party may have hereunder, at law or otherwise, or which may arise out of or in connection with such termination.

  
 9.6 Survival. The provisions of Sections 1, 2, 4 (with
respect to Licensed Products made, imported, sold, offered for sale, leased or otherwise disposed of prior to termination of the Agreement), 6, 8, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 and 10, and any other sections of this Agreement to the extent expressly

 10.2 Relationship of the Parties. In the exercise of their respective rights, and the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, the Parties are, and will remain independent contractors. Nothing in
this Agreement will be construed to constitute the Parties as partners, or principal and agent for any purpose whatsoever. Neither Party will bind, or attempt to bind, the other Party hereto to any contract or other obligation, and neither Party
will represent to any third party that it is authorized to act on behalf of the other Party to this Agreement. 
  
 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). 
  
 10.4 Dispute Resolution.
Any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or the subject matter thereof or the interpretation hereof or any arrangements relating hereto or contemplated herein or the breach,
termination or invalidity hereof ( a “dispute”), shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.4. The Parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by negotiation. To
invoke this dispute, the disputing Party shall give the other party written notice of the dispute. Within 30 days, the Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable place to attempt to resolve the dispute. If for any reason the dispute has not been
resolved within 90 days after the date of the disputing Party’s notice, either Party may serve on the other a written demand for arbitration. Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Jose or in any other city in the State of California in the United States of America as the Parties to the dispute may
designate by mutual written consent. Any decision or award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the Parties to the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages, treble damages, or any
other damages which are not compensatory, even if permitted under the laws of the state of California or any other applicable law. The language to be used in the arbitration proceedings shall be English and all documents written in a language other
than English shall be translated to the English language for the arbitration proceedings, unless otherwise decided by the Parties to the arbitration proceedings. The Party requesting the arbitration shall pay for the costs of the translation. The
Parties hereto agree that the arbitral award, which shall be in writing, may be enforced against the Parties to the arbitration proceeding or their assets wherever the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and each Party
hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in such court and consents to service of process by means of certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. In any judicial action to compel arbitration or to enforce an arbitral award, the
prevailing Party shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees. The arbitrator in this proceeding may require any Party to reimburse all or a portion of the other Party’s costs and expenses (including
legal fees and travel expenses), if the arbitrator determines that such an award is warranted by the circumstances. 
  

 15 








 10.5 Language. This Agreement is in the English language only, which language shall be controlling
in all respects, and all versions hereof in any other language shall be for accommodation only and shall not be binding upon the Parties. All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the English language.

  
 10.6 Successors and Assigns. Each Party shall have the
right (with written notice to the other Party, but without the need to obtain the consent of the other Party) to assign this Agreement, together with all of its rights and obligations hereunder, to an Acquirer as part of a merger or consolidation of
such Party or its Semiconductor Group with or into such Acquirer or a merger of such Acquirer into such Party, or as part of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or business of such Party or its Semiconductor Group to such Acquirer,
provided that the assigning Party’s right to make such assignment is contingent and conditioned upon the non-assigning Party being accorded the right to terminate this Agreement or invoke the provisions of Section 9.3.3 following such
merger, consolidation or sale of assets or business, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of Section 9.2; and provided further that such Acquirer assumes all of the assigning Party’s obligations under this Agreement, including the
obligation to grant, under all Licensed Patents of the assigning Party and its Subsidiaries licensed as of the Change of Control Date and all Acquirer Licensed Patents (subject to Section 3.3), the rights, licenses and immunities granted to the
non-assigning Party and its Subsidiaries under Sections 2, 3 and 4 (as may be limited under Sections 9.3.2 and 9.3.3). In addition, each Party shall have the right (with written notice to the other Party, but without the need to obtain the consent
of the other Party) to assign this Agreement, together with all of its rights and obligations hereunder, to a Subsidiary of such Party to which such Party transfers all or substantially all of the assets or business of its Semiconductor Group (for
purposes of clarification, such transfer shall not be deemed a Change of Control of such Party or its Semiconductor Group). 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. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party shall assign its rights under any of its Licensed Patents unless such assignment is made subject to
the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 10.7 Entire Agreement;
Amendment. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and Offering 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 and Offering Documents to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the 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, for so long as Fujitsu’s Aggregate Ownership Interest is greater than ten percent (10%), 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 
  

 16 








 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. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law or any other Transaction Document or Offering Document.

 10.10 Severability. If any provision in this Agreement is found or held to be invalid or
unenforceable, then the meaning of such provision will be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it will be severed from the remainder of this
