3. DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

 

Deliverables and Initial Fee. Upon the Effective Date or shortly thereafter, Licensor will provide a Development Kit to Licensee. The initial fee, paid by Licensee, is for license and administration setup costs and is neither consideration for the right to use Dolby Intellectual Property nor a royalty payment.

 

Prototype Development. Upon delivery of the Development Kit, Licensee will develop a Prototype. For the purposes of such development, Qualified Recipients may only receive sample (not production) quantities of Implementations.

 

Integration of Implementations. Licensee’s right to use Implementations is limited to integrating such Implementations into Prototypes, and evaluating such Prototypes for Testing. Mere purchase or receipt of an Implementation does not convey a license nor imply a right under any patent, or any other industrial or intellectual property right of Licensor, to use such Implementation, other than to integrate such Implementation into Prototypes and evaluating such Prototypes for Testing.

 

Prototype Testing. As further detailed in the Development Kit:

 

(a) Testing will occur at Licensor’s San Francisco facilities or other facilities designated by Licensor. Submission of Prototypes (at least one from each product family), together with their instruction and service manuals, is required for Testing. Certain test results may be required prior to Testing. Information on conducting any such tests will be included in the Development Kit. Other reasonably related information (artwork, etc.) may be required prior to completion of Testing. If transmissions or other special conditions necessary to test Prototypes or Licensed Products under field operating conditions, are not available at Licensor’s facilities, then Licensee will provide such facilities, or access to such facilities;

 

(b) Licensor will notify Licensee (without unreasonable delay) of Testing results and, if necessary, any required remedial action;

 

(c) If the Prototype being Tested is Approved, then Qualified Recipients may receive production quantities of Implementations to Make Licensed Products related to such Prototype; and

 

(d) Subject to a Licensed Product being Approved, and at Licensor’s discretion, a Prototype representing inconsequential variations of such product may be eligible for similar approval without independent Testing, (“Multiple Listing”).

 

Modifications. No disassembly, reverse engineering, de-compilation, modification, making of derivative works, or translation of products containing Dolby Intellectual Property, Know-How, Show-How, Copyrighted Works, Development Kit, or any parts thereof is allowed. Licensee will provide such notice of the above to all recipients of its software Licensed Products. As necessary, information to achieve interoperability with other programs within the meaning of the European Union Directive on the Legal Protection of Computer Programs, may be available from Licensor upon request.

 

4. COMMERCIALIZATION.

 

Product Support. Licensed Product Commercialization and end-user support is Licensee’s sole responsibility.

 

End-User Products. Except for Spare Parts and Plug-ins, distribution of partially assembled Licensed Products (kits, knock-downs, Implementations etc.) is not permitted. Plug-ins may only be distributed for use with Licensed Products with which they were Approved. Unless as otherwise authorized by Licensor, no right is granted to transfer ownership or to unauthorized possession or copying of all or part of an Implementation (unless permanently integrated into a Licensed Product) or the Development Kit.

 

Approved Interface Products. A Licensed Product will not permit remote access to Dolby Intellectual Property other than through an Approved Interface Product. Any access to Dolby Intellectual Property by Approved Interface Products is only permitted provided that: (a) Dolby licensed features and functions provided by such Licensed Product (relevant to the end user experience of the Dolby Intellectual Property) are also provided by such Approved Interface Product; (b) Licensee assures proper use of the Licensed Trademark by such Approved Interface Product; (c) no unauthorized copying occurs; (d) such access is not permitted via public or corporate networks; and (e) such access is provided as may be further described in the Development Kit. Further, Licensee will not work with or cooperate with third parties to design, nor

InterVideo, Inc.  8

 

 

affirmatively design, a Licensed Product so that the Licensed Product permits access to Dolby Intellectual Property other than via an Approved Interface Product.

 

Referrals. Inquiries regarding acquisition of rights to Dolby Intellectual Property, and information regarding its potential infringement must be promptly referred by notice to Licensor, and is solely for Licensor’s response. Licensee agrees to fully co-operate and provide any supporting information upon request.

 

Standardization and Quality. Licensed Products will comply with Licensor’s reasonable quality standards as specified in the Development Kit.

 

Trademark Usage. If Licensee uses the Licensed Trademarks, then such use is conditioned upon Licensor’s approval (Licensor may request pre-approval and samples of proposed Licensed Trademark uses) and compliance with the following requirements:

 

(a) Licensed Products will prominently display the appropriate Licensed Trademark(s) (on an exposed front surface of a Licensed Product or as part of an opening screen or in an “about” window, as applicable) in accordance with the Schedule of Licensed Trademarks and the Licensee Information Manual. Licensed Trademarks will also be used in a prominent manner in the advertising and promotions for such Licensed Products. Use of Licensed Trademarks will be no less prominent and at least as large as the most prominent third party trademark(s) appearing on that Licensed Product or its associated advertising and promotion;

 

(b) Licensed Trademarks will be used only on Licensed Products (and their advertising or promotion) marked in accordance with this Agreement;

 

(c) Licensed Trademarks will be used in accordance with established United States practices for the protection of trademark and service mark rights, unless a requirement in a country or jurisdiction in which a Licensed Product is Sold is more stringent, in which case such use will also conform to the more stringent requirement;

 

(d) Licensed Trademarks will be used in a manner that distinguishes them from other trademarks, service marks, symbols or trade names. Use of Licensed Trademarks will not suggest a common, descriptive or generic meaning. The design, presentation or advertisement of Licensed Products will not contribute to confusion, either between Licensor’s trademarks, or between the Licensed Trademarks and the trademarks or tradenames of others. In descriptive, instructional, advertising, promotional material or media relating to Licensed Products, Licensee must use the Licensed Trademarks and expressions, for example the trademark ‘Dolby’ with an appropriate System Designator; and

 

(e) Licensed Trademarks will not be used on or in association with Disabled Products.

 

Trial Software.Trial Software” means a software Licensed Product that is accessible or functional only for a limited time (the “Trial Period”). Eligibility of the Audio Technology for deployment in Trial Software depends on program details as described in the Development Kit.

 

Software Security. All sale or distribution of any nature of software Licensed Products, Prototypes or any products (such as Plug-ins or Disabled Products) containing Dolby Intellectual Property must employ security mechanisms reasonably sufficient to stop any unauthorized copying; including but not limited to, any specific restrictions or mechanism as may be further described in the Development Kit.

 

Private Label Licensed Products. Sale of Private Label Licensed Products is conditioned upon the Private Label owner agreeing to be bound by this Agreement.

 

Notices and Markings. Copyright, patent, trademark and other commercial notices must be prominently displayed on all Licensed Products in accordance with Appendix D, entitled, “Schedule of Notices.” If Licensee chooses not to display the Licensed Trademarks on Licensed Products, it will take all necessary precautions to prevent identification or association of Dolby Intellectual Property and resulting technology with any other entity or person.

 

5. REPORTS AND PAYMENTS.

 

Quarterly Reports. Throughout the term of this Agreement, and until Licensee refrains from exercising all rights and licenses granted hereunder (and all products with Dolby Intellectual Property cease to be Made, imported, Sold or otherwise distributed by or on behalf of Licensee), Licensee will deliver to Licensor (within

InterVideo, Inc.  9

 

 

30 days after each calendar quarter) reports detailing all sales and other distribution of any product containing or using Dolby Intellectual Property, made during the previous quarter (or previously unreported), along with good faith estimates for the next quarter (“Quarterly Reports”). For each such product, Quarterly Reports must contain:

 

(a) its brand name and model number;

 

(b) its serial number (if it is a software product);

 

(c) the brand name and model number of each Implementation it contains;

 

(d) the total number of applicable royalty units per product in accordance with Appendix E; and

 

(e) the total number of any additional upgradeable royalty units per product in accordance with Appendix E.

 

Licensor at its discretion may at any time require that Quarterly Reports contain or be supplemented by other information Licensor or its outside auditors may reasonably request or is required by Licensor to enforce its rights (for example; complete contact information and Quarterly Reports details for an entity other than Licensee paying a portion of any obligation on Licensee’s behalf; and/or information relating to the quantities and source of products containing Dolby Intellectual Property (such as Implementations) received by Licensee or other entities on Licensee’s behalf).

 

Royalty Payments. In accordance with Appendix E entitled “Schedule of Royalties”, Licensee will pay to Licensor royalties on all Dolby Intellectual Property Made, used, Sold or otherwise distributed. Royalty payments are due at the same time as each Quarterly Report. A Licensed Product will be considered Sold when invoiced or otherwise distributed, or used (whichever event occurs first); except for:

 

(a) Returns, which are Licensed Products returned to Licensee by its customer on which Licensee gives credit to that customer and are not re-distributed;

 

(b) Disabled Products, which will be considered Sold when the Licensed Technology becomes accessible or functional;

 

(c) Trial Software, which will be considered Sold when the Licensed Technology becomes accessible or functional, outside the Trial Period;

 

(d) Updates or Spare Parts; and

 

(e) Licensed Products distributed to Qualified Recipients provided that: (i) all royalties due on such Licensed Products have been paid to Licensor (and not required to be returned); and ii) Licensee and the Qualified Recipient provides Quarterly Reports detailing such transactions.

 

Non-Patent Country. If a Licensed Product is Made, used, and Sold or otherwise distributed in a country where there are no Patents (a “Non-Patent Country”), then royalties for that Licensed Product may be diminished according to the Schedule of Royalties. Quarterly Reports in which deductions are claimed must specify the country in which the Licensed Products were Made and the country in which the Licensed Products were Sold or otherwise distributed. (Diminished royalties may not be available if such Licensed Products Made, used, Sold or otherwise distributed in a Non-Patent Country were destined for use by end-users or for sale or other distribution to end-users in other than a Non-Patent Country, and Licensor determines that sale had the effect of defeating the royalty provisions of this Agreement.)

 

Books and Records. Complete books and records of all sales, leases, uses, returns, or other distribution of Dolby Intellectual Property must be kept for a period of 3 years. At its own expense, Licensor may (through a professionally registered accountant or agent) inspect, examine and make abstracts of such books and records as necessary to verify their accuracy. This inspection and examination will be made during business hours upon reasonable notice, and not more often than twice a year. Following that inspection and at the discretion of Licensor, Licensor may in addition, request that an independent auditor be allowed access to same books and records as necessary to verify their accuracy. If the independent auditor’s inspection of the relevant records of the Licensee reveals that the difference between the amount the independent auditor determines is owed and the amount Licensee has reported is greater than five percent of the amount owed, (such difference will constitute a material breach), Licensee agrees that it will then be liable to Licensor in the amount of three times the royalties owed (plus interest on the underpaid amount due, from the date it originally should have been paid, at the lesser of (a) 1.5% interest per month, or (b) the maximum rate

InterVideo, Inc.  10

 

 

allowed by law) as determined by the independent auditor plus the full cost of Licensor’s examination and collection, including accounting, audit and legal fees. In addition that audit will not count as one of Licensor’s audits for that year. As part of its accounting processes, Licensor also receives quarterly reports from, and may regularly audit the books and records of, entities supplying or receiving Dolby Intellectual Property, to or from Licensee. Licensee agrees to assist in resolving discrepancies between any of its reports (such as Quarterly Reports) and those of such entities.

 

Willful Failure to Provide Reports or Under Reporting. If Licensee willfully fails, after 15 days notice from Licensor, to provide Quarterly Reports (or other reports as required) or if Licensee has under reported royalties due under this Agreement (which under reporting may be established by comparing statements provided by Licensee with those of third parties supplying Licensee with Implementations or other Dolby Intellectual Property), then (a) Licensor may at its option, inform Qualified Suppliers that Licensee is no longer in good standing and that Licensee is no longer entitled to receive Implementations; and (b) Licensee agrees that it will be liable to Licensor in the amount of three times the royalties owed (plus interest on the underpaid amount due, from the date it originally should have been paid, at the lesser of (i) 1.5% interest per month, or (ii) the maximum rate allowed by law) plus the full cost of Licensor’s examination and collection, including accounting, audit and legal fees. These remedies will be in addition to any other remedies Licensor may have under this Agreement.

 

6. TERM, TERMINATION AND LICENSOR RIGHTS.

 

Expiration. Unless already terminated, this Agreement will terminate on the last to expire date of the Patents automatically included, unless a shorter term is indicated in the Appendices (as applicable). Where there is more than one set of Dolby Intellectual Property licensed under this Agreement, any term indicated will govern only that set of Dolby Intellectual Property to which such Appendix pertains. The term of this Agreement is not extendable by the addition of extra patents that Licensor may have separately agreed to include.

 

Default and Termination. Failure to pay or perform any obligation within the time prescribed will constitute an event of default. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon default by the other Party subject to: (a) giving notice to the defaulting Party describing the non-performance; and (b) a 30 day cure period for the defaulting Party to re-establish compliance (during which time, in the event of late payment or late Quarterly Reports, Licensor may terminate or suspend all or part of any agreements between the Parties).

 

Licensee may upon 90 days notice, terminate this Agreement with respect to a Non-Patent Country; and in such case, “Effect of Termination” (described below) will apply to such Non-Patent Country only.

 

Bankruptcy. The Parties understand and agree that applicable non-bankruptcy law excuses Licensor from accepting performance from any entity other than Licensee as provided in the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 365(c)(1)(A) and 365(e)(2)(A), and accordingly, if Licensee becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or has a petition in bankruptcy (or similar insolvency or re-organization proceeding) filed for or against it, then Licensor may terminate this Agreement, and that without Licensor’s express written agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of Licensee’s rights under this Agreement may be assumed or assigned in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving Licensee. Further, Licensee agrees that a “reasonable period” for Licensee to determine whether to seek (with Licensor’s approval) assumption of this Agreement or to reject it in bankruptcy, will not exceed 60 days from the filing of the bankruptcy petition, and that it is reasonable for Licensor to receive adequate assurance of future performance by Licensee even in that 60 day period.

 

Duty to Return or Destroy. Within 15 days of termination of this entire Agreement, Licensee must furnish to Licensor a letter, signed by an authorized officer of Licensee, certifying that through Licensee’s best efforts, and to the best of its knowledge: (a) the original and all copies of the Development Kit or any portion of it, have been returned to Licensor, destroyed or erased; and (b) any Dolby Intellectual Property (including their associated documentation) not incorporated into a complete, ready-to-use, final end-user product, have been destroyed or returned.

 

Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement for whatever reason, all rights and obligations of the Agreement will continue to remain in full force and effect except those in the Section titled “Dolby Intellectual Property Licenses” and Licensor’s obligations in the Section titled “Development Program.”

InterVideo, Inc.  11

 

 

However Licensee will be entitled to fill orders already received prior to notice of default for which commitments as allowed under this Agreement have been made subject to the following:

 

(a) No right is given to Make, use Sell or otherwise distribute any product that uses Dolby Intellectual Property in any way 6 months after termination; and Licensee will ensure:

 

(b) the continuing requirement that such products meet Licensor’s current quality standards; and

 

(c) the timely submission of Quarterly Reports and all payments due, as applicable under this Agreement.

 

Use by a Subsidiary.

(b) that it will defend Licensee against actions or suits of any nature brought by third parties;

Licensee represents, covenants and warrants that:

 

(a) it understands and acknowledges that the Licensed Technology may not comprise all of the intellectual property rights required to Make, use or Sell a Licensed Product and that third party intellectual property rights (for example; rights management, video technology rights, etc.) may be required;

 

(b) it understands and acknowledges that “Testing” does not mean: (i) that Licensor has investigated any Licensed Product or Prototype in respect to any intellectual property rights infringement (including Licensor’s own rights); (ii) that Licensor understands or acknowledges that a Licensed Product or Prototype is intended to be a Disabled Product or not; (iii) that a Licensed Product or Prototype will operate error-free or according to end-user or Licensee’s expectations; and (iv) that any security measure employed is sufficient to stop any unauthorized copying;

 

(c) if it has or acquires a proprietary right necessary for the use of the Audio Technology then it: (i) has not and will not assign or grant an exclusive license to such right except to Licensor; (ii) hereby grants Licensor right-of-first-refusal to acquire and sub-license such right (by license or otherwise); and (iii) will grant such right on fair and reasonable terms;

 

(d) it agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Licensor, its affiliates, their respective successors, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives, harmless from and against any claim, loss, or damage (and expenses incurred in their investigation and defense), arising out of Licensee making, using, selling or otherwise distributing any product containing Dolby Intellectual

Property, or part thereof, or out of any allegedly unauthorized use of any product, part thereof or intellectual property (excepting Dolby Intellectual Property), by Licensee or those acting under its apparent or actual authority, and in such an action, Licensor will have counsel of its own choosing;

 

(e) it acknowledges the validity and exclusive ownership by Licensor of the Licensed Trademarks, and that Licensee owns no rights in the Licensed Trademarks or in the trade name “Dolby Laboratories.” All rights that may accrue in the Licensed Trademarks or in the trade name “Dolby Laboratories” will inure to the benefit of Licensor.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

Information disclosed orally is Confidential Information only when reduced to writing and marked as “confidential,” and provided by notice from the disclosing Party (the “Discloser”) to the receiving Party (the “Recipient”) within 3 days of such disclosure. Confidential Information remains the property of Discloser, reproduction of which must include “confidential” or other proprietary legends. Disclosure and use of Confidential Information is permitted only for the Purpose of this Agreement.

 

Dissemination of Confidential Information is permitted to persons or entities other than Recipient’s employees only with prior approval of Discloser, except for:

 

(a) the reproduction or internal dissemination of the Development Kit and Licensed Technology so long as: (i) it is only on a disciplined “as needed” basis for the Purpose of this Agreement; (ii) it is only among Licensee’s employees and consultants maintaining a Work Made for Hire Relationship with Licensee, and who have executed confidentiality agreements establishing a duty to maintain the secrecy of confidential material; and (iii) Licensee keeps a record of each copy made, to which Licensee permits Licensor reasonable access;

 

(b) information disclosed by Licensor to any trier of fact in connection with any royalty dispute, or as required for the verification of the quantity of products containing Dolby Intellectual Property supplied or received, or to its legal counsel or accountants; and

 

(c) information that Recipient or its authorized agents receives or is required to disclose by Court Order. (A “Court Order” means, in addition to any formal order of the court, agency or tribunal, oral questions under oath in court or in deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar processes). In the event of any Court Order:

 

(i) Recipient will provide Discloser with notice of such request in a timely manner so that Discloser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(ii) If Discloser waives such compliance then Recipient will disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is covered by such waiver and only as far as necessary to comply with such Court Order, and in any event, if Recipient must disclose the Confidential Information pursuant to such Court Order, even with the consent of Discloser, Recipient will undertake all reasonable

InterVideo, Inc.  13

 

 

efforts to prevent further dissemination of the Confidential Information through a confidentiality agreement, submission under seal, sealed record, protective order, or any other appropriate mechanism.

 

(iii) If in the absence of a protective order, other appropriate remedy or waiver of compliance by Discloser and in the written opinion of Recipient’s legal counsel, Recipient or any other of its authorized agents, are legally compelled to disclose such Confidential Information to any tribunal, else be liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, then Recipient may without liability hereunder, disclose such Confidential Information to such tribunal. Any such disclosure will only be to the degree necessary, and subject to Recipient using all reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and prevent its further dissemination through a confidentiality agreement, submission under seal, sealed record, protective order, or other appropriate mechanism.

 

9. GENERAL TERMS.

 

Appendices. The Appendices are integral to and included as part of this whole Agreement and excepting any Schedule of Royalties Appendices (but not their device type program tables), may be updated from time to time by Licensor, as significant developments arise.

 

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with its several appendices and attachments, contains the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersedes all previous agreements or representations whether written or oral between them regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. Neither Party is bound by any communication outside this Agreement, except (a) subsequent written agreement duly executed by both Parties, and (b) Licensor’s updates to Appendices. Without regard to the source of translation, if translated into another language, then this English version of the Agreement is controlling.

 

Costs and Timeliness. Any obligation or covenant requiring a Party to perform or provide an act or service will be construed to impose upon that Party the burdens (unless otherwise provided): (a) with all reasonable expediency sufficient to avoid prejudice to the other Party; and (b) to pay the cost. Any failure to pay monies due hereunder or deliver a Quarterly Report when due is considered an event of default.

 

Assertion of Unenforceability. The failure of any provision of this Agreement by virtue of it being construed as invalid or otherwise unenforceable will render the entire Agreement cancelable at the option of the Party asserting the enforceability of such provision.

 

Modification and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement will be modified by any action or omission or subsequent conduct of Licensor or its agents, or by failure of Licensor to object to any actions or omissions of Licensee which may be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. No failure to object to a breach committed by either Party in one instance will constitute a waiver or license to commit or continue breaches in other or like instances.

 

Notices. All notices, reports, requests for delivery, deliveries, consents, and approvals will be promptly made, in written English, to the contact information on the cover page (or in accordance with such other contact information as either Party may deliver to the other), via secure special delivery service, properly transmitted facsimile, or via electronic mail, each requiring proof of delivery. Any electronic mail notices must include a scanned electronic image of said notice with applicable authorized signature(s) on Licensee company letterhead and be addressed to notices@Dolby.com or as otherwise advised from time to time. Any electronic Quarterly Reports will be addressed to reports@Dolby.com or as otherwise advised from time to time. All required notices, reports and the like, will be prepared and signed by fully authorized personnel (chief financial officer or authorized designate with respect to Quarterly Reports) using best efforts to assure accuracy.

 

Payments. All payments due will be made by wire transfer in United States funds to Licensor’s bank as identified on the cover page of this Agreement (or such other bank as Licensor may from time to time designate). All payments due are exclusive of all local fees, taxes, duties, or charges of any kind, which will not be deducted from them and will be for Licensee’s account, unless, upon receipt of official documentation, Licensor is able to offset such deductions against Licensor’s own tax liabilities. The expense of registering or recording Licensee as a registered user or otherwise complying with the laws of any country pertaining to such registration or the recording of trademark agreements will be borne by Licensee. All payments are non

InterVideo, Inc.  14

 

 

refundable. Excess payments (as applicable) may be applied by Licensor to the next payment due. Interest is due on all late payments and will be calculated at the lower of (a) 1.5% per month, or (b) the maximum legal rate, until paid.

 

Announcements. Neither Party will publicly state or imply any provisions of this Agreement differ or are inconsistent with this Agreement, or the activities or the communications made pursuant this Agreement. If requested by one Party, the other Party will deliver copies of public statements or promotional material relating to this Agreement.

 

Injunctive Relief. Any violation or threatened violation of the Section titled “Dolby Intellectual Property Licenses” of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to Licensor for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and in such event, the Parties agree that Licensor will be entitled to obtain injunctive relief in addition to all legal remedies.

 

Stipulation to Jurisdiction and Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed according to the substantive law, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of California. If any dispute arises relating to this Agreement, the Parties agree that the venue for such dispute will be in the City of San Francisco and that the dispute may be resolved in either the Northern District of the Federal Courts in the State of California or the State Courts of the State of California. If any action is brought to resolve any dispute under this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover from the other Party all costs and expenses incurred in that action or any appeal there from, including all attorney’s fees and costs. Licensee agrees that any judgment issued by the above courts in the State of California may be enforced to the fullest extent of the law in the country in which Licensee resides, is located or owns assets.

 

Assignment. This Agreement is not transferable nor assignable, in whole or in part (even in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership), without consent of Licensor; except that Licensee may transfer this Agreement subject to: (a) at least 30 days notice in connection with its merger and consolidation with or sale of its entire business to another entity; (b) the acquirer agreeing to be bound by this Agreement; and (c) Licensor has agreed to the assignment.

 

Limitation of Authority. Neither Party is the agent or representative of the other Party, and neither Party has authority to assume obligations on behalf of the other Party.

 

Export. No technical data or any direct product thereof, will be exported, directly or indirectly, in contravention of United States of America law.

 

Validity of Offers. All offers are subject to change prior to approval by both Parties.

 

Execution. This Agreement has been executed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties, in duplicate original copies, as of the date set forth on said cover page.

 

Waiver of UCITA. The Parties expressly agree that the provisions of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (“UCITA”) will not apply to transactions under this Agreement.

Dolby Digital royalty for [*] Channel Dolby Digital Licensed Products may be discounted by $[*].

 

If a Licensed Product uses more than [*] audio channel decoding to create only [*] virtualized output Channels, then the Dolby Digital royalty for using such multi-channel decoding, is discounted to [*] Channels such that only [*] additional Channel per Licensed Product applies. (Not applicable if also a multi-channel Dolby Digital Licensed Product).

 

Dolby Digital royalty may be discounted by $[*] per Channel for Licensed Products which are Made and Sold or otherwise distributed in a country where there are no Patents or Patent applications, up to a maximum of three Channels per Licensed Product.

 

Consumer Price Index – Royalties are also multiplied by a factor which is determined each year by the change in the U.S. Consumer Cost of Living (COL) index between December 1993 (the date on which the present royalty system was introduced) and December of the year prior to the current year. This is to preserve the parity of the royalty scheme from one year to the next.

 

Royalty statements and payments are to be submitted 30 days after each calendar quarter ending with the last day of March, June, September, and December.
