Second Amendment and Restatement of “S” Process Development Agreement between AMD and IBM
IBM - AMD Confidential		Page 14 of 87

such evaluation that such information should be withdrawn, such owning Party may withdraw such information from use in the Process Development Projects and all such information in tangible form associated therewith shall be returned to such owning Party and such tangible information shall not become Specific Results. In the event of such withdrawal, any non-tangible information related to such information retained in the minds of the non-owning Party’s employees shall be treated as Specific Results by the non-owning Parties. Absent such notice and withdrawal within thirty (30) days, all information deliberately provided by the owner of such information or evaluated by the Project Leaders shall be treated as Specific Results.

3.3.1

Any issue as to whether information was deliberately provided to the Process Development Projects shall be resolved by the Project Leaders based on either of the following criteria:

3.3.1.1

whether the information was deliberately exposed to the other Parties by a Representative of the owner of such information; or

3.3.1.2

whether the evaluation of the information by the Representatives was validly considered for incorporation into the Process Development Projects.

If the Project Leaders cannot agree, such issue shall be resolved by the Management Committee in accordance with the criteria in Sections 3.3.1.1 and 3.3.1.2.

3.3.2

Each Party shall be responsible for instructing its Representatives on methods of proper introduction of information into the Process Development Projects, and the consequences under Section 7.10, below, of information that is inadvertently obtained.

SECTION 6 - INSURANCE, RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESULTS AND WARRANTIES

6.1

Although the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts in performing the Process Development Projects, the Parties acknowledge that the results of the development work to be performed are uncertain and cannot be guaranteed by any Party. The risk of success or failure of the Process Development Projects shall be shared by all the Parties equally. If a Party has exerted such efforts in the performance of its responsibilities under a Process Development Project, the failure to achieve performance objectives or schedules within a Process Development Project shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

6.2

All items furnished by a Party to the Process Development Projects will be produced or provided by said Party in the same manner as it produces or provides such items for its own use and will be furnished on an “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, including, without limitation, i) ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SPECIFIC RESULTS WILL BE FREE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADE SECRET, OR MASK WORK RIGHTS and ii) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR TERMS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS OR USE FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

6.3

Each Party shall maintain for the benefit of each of the others, comprehensive general liability insurance of not less than fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) per occurrence which covers bodily injury (including death) and property damage (including, to the extent such insurance is reasonably available therefor, environmental damage), and which applies to any such liability the Party may have under this Agreement. Purchase and maintenance of such insurance shall in no way be interpreted as relieving any Party of any of its responsibilities hereunder, and each Party may carry, at its expense, such additional insurance amounts and coverage as it deems necessary. In no event shall any such insurance be cancelled without prior written notice by the insured Party’s insurance carrier to the other Party.

6.4

IBM represents and warrants that the agreement with its Third Party development partners grants IBM the right to transfer the proprietary information of its Third Party development partners to AMD and to sublicense such information consistent with Section 8 hereof. Such sublicense is hereby granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. IBM agrees that prior to amending such agreement inconsistent with this representation and warranty, it shall notify AMD.

SECTION 7 - INFORMATION TRANSFERS

7.1

Without any liability to the other Parties for patent infringement or failure to notify, each Party agrees to promptly notify the other Party in writing or provide oral notification, as the case may be, of any patents or other intellectual property rights of Third Parties of which it becomes aware, which, in the sole opinion of said Party, may relate to the use of Specific Results. In such instance, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to exchange information related to such potential Third Party intellectual property issues.


Second Amendment and Restatement of “S” Process Development Agreement between AMD and IBM
IBM - AMD Confidential		Page 28 of 87

However, no Party shall have any obligation hereunder to conduct patent searches or studies in relation to the Process Development Projects or to notify the other Parties of any licenses it may have under any particular patent. The Parties recognize that each of them has patent license arrangements with Third Parties and that it is the individual responsibility of each Party to secure any rights under the patents of Third Parties which may be needed to enable it to manufacture and/or market the product (including products manufactured using the process technology to be developed under the Process Development Projects) at such time as it determines in its sole judgement that such action is required.

7.2

Any confidential information disclosed by one Party to another in performance of the Process Development Projects shall be designated with an appropriate and conspicuously obvious legend, such as “IBM Confidential” or “AMD Confidential”, as the case may be, such legends to clearly indicate to a person viewing or otherwise accessing such information that it is of a confidential nature to the disclosing Party. Any such disclosure that is made orally shall be confirmed in writing under a like designation within thirty (30) days after the date of such disclosure. The Technical Coordinators shall monitor and keep records of all such disclosures of confidential information and shall ensure that it is properly marked as confidential, and record the date of receipt. Specific Results generated pursuant to the Process Development Projects and any confidential information that is included in Specific Results shall be clearly designated by the Technical Coordinators with an appropriate legend, such as “IBM/AMD Confidential”. Further, in the event that a Representative of any Party obtains information relating to the Process Development Projects in tangible form which is not designated as confidential in accordance with this Section 7.2, but which from its nature appears likely to be confidential, such Representative will notify the Technical Coordinators who then will decide whether or not such information can and should be thereafter treated as confidential. The Technical Coordinators shall either mutually agree that such information is non-confidential or have all copies of such information in tangible form promptly marked with the appropriate legend identifying its confidentiality.

7.3

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with respect to Specific Results and any other confidential information of either Party, which is confidential pursuant to Section 7.2 above, the Party receiving such information shall use the same efforts to avoid its publication or dissemination to Third Parties as it employs with respect to information of its own which it does not desire to be published or disseminated. For Specific Results of each Process Development Project and Background Know-How, the obligations of confidentiality shall terminate *** for each applicable Process Development Project (if this Agreement is terminated or if for some other reason a given Process Development Project is not pursued ***, such time period shall be *** of the applicable Process Development Project); in the case of Proprietary Tools, this obligation of confidentiality shall terminate *** after its disclosure by the disclosing Party; and for all other confidential information this obligation of confidentiality shall terminate *** after its


Second Amendment and Restatement of “S” Process Development Agreement between AMD and IBM
IBM - AMD Confidential		Page 29 of 87

disclosure by the disclosing Party. This obligation shall not, however, apply to any information that is:

7.3.1

already in or comes into the possession of the receiving Party or its Subsidiaries without obligation of confidence;

7.3.2

now, or hereafter becomes, publicly available without breach of this Agreement;

7.3.3

intentionally disclosed to or rightfully received from Third Parties without obligation of confidence;

7.3.4

independently developed by the receiving Party or its Subsidiaries;

7.3.5

approved for release by written agreement of the disclosing Party; or

7.3.6

inherently disclosed in the use, lease, sale or other distribution of any available product or service or publicly available supporting documentation therefor by the receiving Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

7.4	The receiving Party’s obligations with respect to Specific Results or any other confidential information of the disclosing Party as specified in Section 7.3, above shall not apply to any disclosure that is:

7.4.1

in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental body of any country or group of countries or any political subdivision thereof; provided, however, that the receiving Party shall first have notified the disclosing Party and made a good faith effort to obtain a protective order requiring that the information and/or documents so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued;

7.4.2

otherwise required by law; or

7.4.3

reasonably necessary in order to establish the receiving Party’s rights, provided that such receiving Party shall provide the disclosing Party with prior written notice, except notice shall not be required where the receiving Party is attempting to establish rights in a lawsuit under this Agreement against the disclosing Party or is filing a patent under Section 11 of this Agreement.

7.5

Each Party shall have the right to disclose and sublicense as specified in Section 8 Specific Results and Pre-T0 Information (including High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information) to any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and its Related Subsidiaries at any time; provided however, that such Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and its Related Subsidiaries shall agree to be bound by substantially the same terms as are applicable to said Party in Sections 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 and the survival of same pursuant to Section 12. Further, each

the AMD FMV. It is understood that employees of AMD’s current flash memory partner working within the AMD FMV might be exposed to such disclosed information and such exposure shall not constitute a disclosure under this Section nor a breach of any confidentiality obligations hereunder; and

(ii)

to ***, no earlier than the *** of the applicable Process Development Project

Such sublicenses will not be granted without a written agreement between the disclosing party and the sublicensee. Such sublicenses and sublicense agreements shall be subject to the following:

(a)

Except for the AMD FMV for the purpose of producing flash memory products, such sublicenses must be for the entire Derivative Process, and not solely or primarily those portions of the Derivative Process derived from the Specific Results. Furthermore, and with respect only to the AMD FMV, such sublicense and disclosure may be to portions of those Bulk CMOS and Industry Standard CMOS Specific Results identified in accordance with Section 3.4;

(b)

such sublicenses shall specifically exclude the right for the Third Party to utilize all or any aspect of the Derivative Process to develop, derive, or otherwise create a fabrication process to fabricate SOI Integrated Circuits or High Performance Integrated Circuits.

action filed by or against it, is adjudicated as bankrupt, or has a receiver appointed for its business;

has all or a substantial portion of its capital stock or assets expropriated or attached by any government entity; or

with the exception of the AMD FMV, the Third Party undergoes a Change of Control (as such term is defined in Section 12.3 of this Agreement, as modified to apply to such sublicensee instead of AMD), but with regard to the AMD FMV, if a new entity formed from the former AMD FMV is no longer an AMD FMV, such sublicense to the new entity shall survive; and

(e)

to the extent permitted by law, such agreement shall grant IBM third party beneficiary status (or the equivalent under whatever law applies to the sublicense agreement) with an independent right to enforce the confidentiality and license term of the agreement. If AMD fails to reach an agreement with its disclosee(s) on such third party beneficiary status, then IBM shall discuss and negotiate with AMD for a possible alternative to this sub-section (e).

7.8

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, AMD shall not be prevented from furnishing or disclosing technical information whether or not included in Specific Results developed solely by AMD, or by AMD and Third Parties to any Third Party. For the avoidance of doubt, AMD agrees that it shall not engage with Third Parties to develop technical information within the scope of this Agreement for the purpose of circumventing the terms and conditions of this Section 7. Further, disclosure of such technical information shall not be prevented even if a minor portion of Bulk CMOS or Industry Standard CMOS Information embodied in Specific Results is commingled with and constitutes an inseparable element of such technical information. Additionally, the Parties agree that, subject to the terms of this Section 7.8, AMD reserves the right to use AMD Background Know-How and to disclose such Background Know-How to Third Parties, without limitation even if a minor portion of Pre-T0 Information (excluding High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information) is commingled with and constitutes an inseparable element of such technical information. Prior to disclosing any such commingled Pre-T0 Information to Third Parties, AMD must obtain written approval of IBM’s Management Committee member, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, AMD agrees that, to the extent it has the right to do so, AMD will submit as AMD Background Know-How any improvements or enhancements made by AMD or a Third Party to such commingled Pre-T0 Information. AMD further agrees that it will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain the right to submit such improvements or enhancements as AMD Background Know-How. AMD’s failure to provide such submissions due to administrative reasons shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement. For clarity, any information that substantially alters the fundamental nature of the commingled


Second Amendment and Restatement of “S” Process Development Agreement between AMD and IBM
IBM - AMD Confidential		Page 34 of 87

Pre-T0 Information shall not be considered a “minor portion”. If any dispute arises with regard to the definition of “minor portion” prior to disclosure, the Management Committee shall resolve such dispute. No royalties shall be payable in connection with the disclosures permitted by this Section 7.8.

In addition, AMD may request permission in writing from IBM to disclose Specific Results and/or Pre-T0 Information, in addition to that set forth in Sections 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8 to Third Parties. IBM will consider and respond in writing within four weeks to each such request.

7.9

IBM shall have the right to disclose Specific Results to any Subsidiary or any Third Party, at any time and for any purpose, and such recipients shall have the right to disclose Specific Results to their Subsidiaries, provided that such disclosures shall be subject to appropriate confidentiality terms that, at a minimum, shall have a term of confidentiality no shorter than that set forth herein.

7.10

With respect to information that does not relate to the Process Development Projects and which is considered confidential by either Party, it is not the intention of either Party to disclose to or obtain from the other Party any such information. In particular, the Parties acknowledge that IBM has other development projects and relationships being conducted in the Development Facilities, and the Parties shall take reasonable precautions to limit the disclosure and receipt of information unrelated to Process Development Projects. In the event that a Representative of one Party obtains any such information of the other Party that is designated as confidential or which should from its nature be understood to be confidential, the Technical Coordinators of both Parties shall be informed, and any such information in tangible form shall promptly be returned to said originating Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall convey any right to said Party to use said tangible information for any purpose. However, any non-tangible information related to said information which is retained in the minds of the Party’s employees will be treated as Specific Results.

SECTION 8 – LICENSES TO BACKGROUND KNOW-HOW

IBM has identified in Exhibit L that Pre-T0 Information not yet selected by the Management Committee for use in a Process Development Project that IBM chooses, in its sole discretion, to maintain as confidential information (“High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information”). AMD agrees that IBM reserves the right to update Exhibit L when any of such information is no longer considered to be High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information or when IBM provides AMD with significant data to support the addition of new High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information to Exhibit L. If AMD does not believe that IBM has provided significant data to support such addition or if AMD believes that items should be removed from Exhibit L, the issues shall be elevated to the Management Committee for resolution. Additionally, IBM agrees that any information on Exhibit L that is publicly disclosed, without breach of either Party’s confidentiality agreements with each other or with a Third Party, shall no longer be considered High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information. Any other update to Exhibit L shall require the approval of the AMD and IBM Representatives on the Management Committee.

AMD may use Pre-T0 Information that is not High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information for any purpose. AMD may not transfer the High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information to any Subsidiaries or Third Parties without written approval of the IBM Representative on the Management Committee. Pre-T0 Information (other than High Sensitivity Pre-T0 information) may be disclosed to Third Parties, subject to AMD’s obligations under Section 7. In addition, AMD agrees at its sole discretion and to the extent it has the right to do so, to submit as AMD Background Know-How any improvements or enhancements made by AMD or a Third Party to such Pre-T0 Information.

Additionally, AMD agrees that it will not sell commercially available products that use High SensitivityPre-T0 Information prior to *** without IBM’s written approval, which IBM approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AMD will not be prevented from selling such products using High Sensitivity Pre-T0 information if (a) such High Sensitivity Pre-T0 information is not detectable through reverse engineering, and (b) AMD has not disclosed use of such High Sensitivity Pre-T0 Information.

For the avoidance of doubt, such joint ownership shall include Inventions other than Designated Inventions. Moreover, for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall constitute written consent of such joint owner for the disclosing Party to make the disclosures set forth in Section 7, to the extent such joint consent is required in a given jurisdiction; provided, however, that such assent is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Before applying to register or record in any country any of the rights or material to which this Section 10 relates, the Parties shall hold consultations and agree on whether this is appropriate and, if so, which of them shall make such application and in which countries.

10.2

The joint ownership by the Parties of all copyright and similar right in and to Specific Results shall be subject to Sections 7 and 8; the Parties understand and agree that their status as joint owners does not grant them any rights to utilize Specific Results over and above their respective disclosure rights as set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.

SECTION 11 - OWNERSHIP OF DESIGNATED INVENTIONS

11.1

Each Designated Invention made solely by one or more Representatives or contractors of one Party, and title to all patent applications filed thereon and all patents issued thereon, shall be solely the property of the inventing Party, subject to a patent license granted in Section 11.3 below.

Representatives or contractors, which hereby give any necessary consent for granting such licenses as may be required by the law of any country. All expenses, other than internal patent department expenses of the Parties, incurred in obtaining and maintaining such patents shall be equally shared by the inventing Parties (except as provided hereinafter). Prior to filing any patent application in respect of any such joint Designated Inventions the inventing Parties shall hold consultations and agree on whether this is appropriate and, if so, which of them shall file and prosecute such application and in which countries corresponding applications shall be filed and by whom. With respect to any joint Designated Invention, where one inventing Party elects not to seek or maintain such protection thereon in any particular country or not to share equally in the expenses thereof, the other inventing Party shall have the right to seek or maintain such protection in said country at its or their own expense and shall have full control over the prosecution and maintenance thereof even though title to any patent issued thereon shall be joint.

11.3

With respect to Designated Inventions under Sections 11.1, the owning Party hereby grants the other Party the same rights and obligations with respect to the relevant Specific Results provided for in this Agreement to carry out the activities set forth in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Sections 7, 8 and 9). With respect to patents issued on said Designated Inventions, the license granted by the owning Party to the other Party shall be an irrevocable (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, paid-up license to make, have made, use, lease, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer any products and to practice and have practiced any process and shall include the right of such licensed Party to sublicense its Subsidiaries of the same or within the scope of the foregoing license.

11.4

Each Party shall give the other Party all reasonable assistance in connection with the preparation or prosecution of any patent application filed by said other Party and shall cause to be executed all assignments and other instruments and documents as said other Party may consider necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent of this Section 11.

11.5	Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any patent license agreements between the Parties currently existing, but may confer rights on one or more Parties in addition to the rights they may have under such existing agreements.

11.6

To the extent that a license grant under Sections 9 and 11 recites the right to make any product, apparatus and/or material, or practice any method or process in the manufacture of same, such grant shall not be construed as conveying the right to a Party or other entity to “have made” such product apparatus and/or material, or “have practiced” any such method or process, unless such right is expressly recited therein.

11.7	The Project Leaders shall establish a procedure for reviewing Invention disclosures in order to determine which Inventions are subject to the provisions of Section 11.2 of this Agreement relating to joint Inventions.
