ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective April 9, 2010, NeoMagic Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Synapse Design Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Synapse”), in which Synapse will design and implement (analog and digital) a USB 3.0 transceiver (“USB Transceiver IP”) that the Company expects to use in a semiconductor chip to be manufactured (“SyMagic Transceiver”).
The parties’ obligations under the MOU are subject to the prior execution of a definitive binding agreement, which, if executed, would contain certain terms set forth in the MOU. Such terms would include the Company paying Synapse up to $1,000,000 for its development work and Synapse’s expected contribution of approximately $1,000,000 worth of services and materials to complete the development. The MOU also contemplates Synapse licensing the USB Transceiver IP for inclusion in chipsets or systems-on-a-chip. Royalties would be payable by the Company and Synapse in connection with revenue from sales and licensing of the USB Transceiver IP or products containing the USB Transceiver IP, as the case may be.
While the MOU is non-binding, the MOU contains binding terms regarding confidentiality and each party being responsible for its own expenses associated with the MOU and any definitive agreement.
The foregoing description of the principal terms of the MOU is a general description only, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the MOU attached hereto as Exhibit 10.36, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
