ANNEX 1

ORANUMCAM SOFTWARE


(the “Software”)

The ORANUMCAM software (the “Software”) is a part of a global, innovative, live streaming, new generation, technology based know-how and software engine named the “Live Streaming Engine” derived from the “Docler Engine” and further developed by Docler Group (group of entities to which JWS belongs to), with the participation of its knowledgeable developers, on one hand, and by using contributions, codes, software, IT libraries, products, schemas or otherwise (the “Third Parties’ Contributions”) of third parties (the “Third Parties Licensors/Owners”), on the other hand.


The Live Streaming Engine is the ownership of Jasmin IP S.à r.l., whilst the Docler Engine is the ownership of Docler IP S.à r.l., both being limited liability companies incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg, with registered address at 44 Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg (the “Engine Owners”). For avoidance of a doubt, both, the Live Streaming Engine and the Docler Engine shall be referred to herein as the “Engines”.


JWS has been granted the right, by the Engine Owners, to use and sub-license the Engines respectively (in whole or portions of it).


The Software is that part of the Engines that enables Broadcasters and/or Agencies to stream their performances via Oranum.com and related websites by downloading and installing the executable version of it on their computers through the Oranum Broadcaster Center (this terms being defined in the Oranum Services Agreement).


The Software, based on a live streaming uploading technology, including Third Parties’ Contributions, is a state of the art solution, with lots of new technological achievements developed internally by Docler Group entities. Although the Software combines a multitude of Third Parties’ Contributions, the final version of it is an original and new derivative work composed of significant new functionalities and components developed in-house. 


The Engine Owners concluded a panoply of license agreements with Third Parties Licensors/Owners for the use of the Third Parties’ Contributions, and notably, the following (the “Third Parties’ License(s)”):

Why pthreads-win32 did not use the GNU General Public License

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The goal of the pthreads-win32 project has been to provide a quality and complete implementation of the POSIX threads API for Microsoft Windows within the limits imposed by virtue of it being a stand-alone library and not linked directly to other POSIX compliant libraries. For example, some functions and features, such as those based on POSIX signals, are missing.


Pthreads-win32 is a library, available in several different versions depending on supported compilers, and may be used as a dynamically linked module or a statically linked set of binary modules. It is not an application on its own.


It was fully intended that pthreads-win32 be usable with commercial software not covered by either the GPL or the LGPL licenses. Pthreads-win32 has many contributors to its code base, many of whom have done so because they have used the library in commercial or proprietary software    projects.


Releasing pthreads-win32 under the LGPL ensures that the library can be used widely, while at the same time ensures that bug fixes and improvements to the pthreads-win32 code itself is returned to benefit all current and future users of the library.


Although pthreads-win32 makes it possible for applications that use POSIX threads to be ported to Win32 platforms, the broader goal of the project is to encourage the use of open standards, and in particular, to make it just a little easier for developers writing Win32 applications to consider widening the potential market for their products.

                       Version 2.1, February 1999


Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA


Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.


[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]


Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.


This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.


When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.


To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.


For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.


We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.


To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.


Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.


Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.  We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.


When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.


We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less

of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.


For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.


In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.


Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.


The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

  • This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of

this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".


A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.


The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)


"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.


Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.


  • You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.


You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.


  • You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:


  • a) The modified work must itself be a software library.


  • b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.


  • c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.


  • d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.


(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)


These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.


Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.


In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.


  • You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify

that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in these notices.


Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.


This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.


  • You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.


If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.


  • A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.


However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the

library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.


When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.


If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)


Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.


  • As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.


You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.  You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one of these things:


  • a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)


  • b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.


  • c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.


  • d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.


  • e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.


For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.


It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.


  • You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:


  • a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.


  • b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.


  • You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.


  • You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.


  • Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.


  • If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.


If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.


It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.


This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.


  • If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add

an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.


  • The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.


Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.


  • If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status

of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.


                    NO WARRANTY

  • BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.


  • IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.


                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries


If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).


To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.  It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.


    <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>


This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.


This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more details.


You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA.


Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.


You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:


  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the

  library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.


  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1990

  Ty Coon, President of Vice


That's all there is to it!

In the event that Licensee or an Affiliate Otherwise Supplies components or software, the making, using, importing, Selling, or supplying of which would, in the absence of a license, infringe directly or indirectly a Licensed Patent, for inclusion in Professional Products sold by Licensee’s customer, and Licensee elects to have such components or software be Licensed Products hereunder, in addition to the information cited in Section 4.2.1.1 above, Licensee shall report each customer’s name along with the quantity and product name and/or model number of the product(s) incorporating such components or software and shall pay the applicable fees set forth in Section 4.3.3 below.

4.3. License Fees. Unless Licensee qualifies for the semi-annual payment election set forth in Section 4.3.1, Licensee shall pay to Via all License Fees due hereunder within fifteen (15) days after its Quarterly Report is due.

Licensee shall pay any such taxes and fees which are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by Via on behalf of Licensors after all taxes and fees are paid are equal to the amounts to which Licensors are otherwise entitled under this Agreement as if such taxes and fees did not exist. Upon request by Via, Licensee shall timely provide to Via documentation and proof of payment of taxes and fees paid on behalf of Licensors under this Section. If any taxing authority makes a claim against Via for any taxes owed by Licensee, Licensee shall be obligated to pay all of Via’s expenses and costs incurred in defending such action by the taxing authority. Via shall reasonably cooperate and provide such information as may be required by Licensee for any purpose or reason relating to Licensee's payment of taxes as may be required under this Section (“Taxes”).


4.4.1. Notwithstanding Section 4.4 (“Taxes”), if applicable law and/or tax treaty requires Licensee to withhold any income taxes levied by Licensee’s country of residency or any other jurisdiction(s) on payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement (“Withholding Tax”), Licensee shall timely remit to the appropriate governing authority any Withholding Tax that may be levied upon License Fees paid to Via for the benefit of Licensors. Licensee shall use Via’s calculation of Withholding Tax, and shall deduct such Withholding Tax from License Fees.

4.4.1.1. Licensee shall provide to Via all relevant documentation and proof of payment of the Withholding Tax to allow Licensor to provide evidence to Licensor’s tax authorities of payment of Withholding Taxes. If Licensee cannot provide such documentation and proof of payment in a timely manner, Licensee shall remit the amount of Withholding Tax to Via for distribution to affected Licensors.

4.4.1.2. If a Licensor is eligible for a Withholding Tax rate exemption or a reduction pursuant to an applicable tax treaty then in force, Licensee must cause any Withholding Tax that is payable by the Licensor to be avoided or reduced accordingly. Via shall reasonably cooperate with Licensee for purpose of reducing or eliminating any Withholding Taxes.

4.4.1.3. Via shall reasonably cooperate with Licensee by furnishing necessary information, completed certificates, forms and other documents required by Licensee for purposes of reducing or eliminating any Withholding Taxes. Licensee shall file all necessary tax forms required in order to apply for the application of rates under tax treaties. Nothing in this Section 4.4.1.3 shall require Licensee to take any action inconsistent with any applicable law or government regulation.

4.4.1.4. If any foreign taxing authority makes a claim against a Licensor or Via for failure to timely remit all required Withholding Taxes, then Licensee shall be obligated to pay all deficiencies and any interest or penalties associated with such failure owed to such taxing authority.


4.5. Payment Procedure.


4.5.1. Payments to Via shall be made by wire transfer to the bank and account set forth in the applicable invoice from Via, or by check drawn upon a nationallyrecognized U.S. bank tendered to the address set forth in Section 9.8 (“Notices”) below (or to such other payment addresses or bank account as Via shall designate in writing).


4.5.2. Via will credit payments from Licensee against any prior outstanding amounts owed by Licensee under this Agreement (crediting the oldest outstanding amounts first) before applying them to current License Fees or other amounts owed.

 

4.5.3. Excess payment amounts shall be applied to immediately subsequent payment obligations and not refunded.


4.5.4. Any fees or payments that are made hereunder later than the date on which they are due shall bear interest, compounded monthly at the statutory rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or the highest rate permitted under applicable law, whichever is lower. A payment is considered late if received more than thirty (30) days after becoming due.


4.5.5. Time is of the essence with respect to all payments required hereunder.


4.5.6. Licensee shall pay all amounts due hereunder in United States dollars. All dollar amounts in this Agreement refer to United States dollars unless otherwise indicated. Any conversion to United States dollars shall be at the prevailing rate for bank cable transfers as quoted by the Wall Street Journal for the last day of the applicable quarterly period (or business day thereafter if such last day shall be a Sunday or other non-business day).


4.5.7. Notwithstanding any requirement for written documents, communication or notice in this Agreement, Quarterly Reports, tax, withholding, financial and payment information and communications may be exchanged by the Parties electronically through the Via Administration System, ViaSecure, or as otherwise requested by Via by notice through such systems.


4.6. Fee Applicability.


4.6.1. When Sold or Otherwise Supplied. For the purpose of timing the payment of License Fees, a Licensed Product shall be considered Sold or Otherwise Supplied on the earlier of when delivered or otherwise disposed of or when invoiced; or, for Licensed Products provided on a trial basis, when the applicable Trial Period is exceeded. Licensed Products shipped on a consignment basis shall be considered Sold or Otherwise Supplied when any payment for such shipment is agreed upon between Licensee and its customer.


4.6.2. When First Used. For the purpose of timing the payment of License Fees for Internal Use Licensed Products, a first use shall be considered to be when the Internal Use Licensed Products are first used to achieve their intended purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, the first use of an encoder Internal Use Licensed Product is when Licensee initially uses the encoder to create bit-streams in AAC format. For an encoder Internal Use Licensed Product in software form, Licensee shall report the highest number of simultaneously-running encoder instances that occur in the calendar quarter as the unit number of Licensed Products for that quarter. For subsequent quarters, the highest number of simultaneously-running encoder instances shall be compared to the highest number from previous quarters. If the highest number of instances for the current quarter is greater than the number from previous quarters, Licensee shall report the difference between the two values as the unit number of Internal Use Licensed Products for the current quarter and pay License Fees for such reported products. For the avoidance of doubt, License Fees will only be due for Internal Use Licensed Products in software form if the highest number of simultaneously-running encoder instances for the current reporting quarter is greater than the highest number from previous quarters.


4.6.3. Software Installations. For encoder and decoder Licensed Products in software form, each computer or workstation which has the Licensed Product installed on it, or is capable of using or executing the Licensed Product, shall be considered a separate Licensed Product. By way of example only, if the Licensed Product is installed on a network server, each computer or workstation connected to the network server and capable of executing the Licensed Product shall be considered a separate Licensed Product.


4.6.4. Hosted Services. For Professional Products which are hosted on servers that provide encoding or decoding services (often referred to as “cloud computing” environments), as an alternative to reporting and paying for the total number of encoder/codec or decoder instances as the number of units of Licensed Products Sold or Otherwise Supplied, Licensee may elect to track the average number of simultaneously-running encoder/codec or decoder instances that occur each calendar month, and report the highest monthly average for the applicable quarter as the unit number of professional encoder/codec or decoder Licensed Products for that quarter. The highest monthly average for subsequent quarters shall be compared to the highest monthly average from previous quarters. If the highest monthly average for the current quarter is greater than the highest monthly average from previous quarters, Licensee shall report the difference between the two values as the unit number of professional encoder/codec or decoder Licensed Products for the current quarter and pay License Fees for such reported products. For the avoidance of doubt, License Fees will only be due for professional encoder/codec or decoder Licensed Products if the highest monthly average for the current reporting quarter is greater than the highest monthly average from previous quarters.


4.6.5. Other Licensee Fee Payment. Licensee shall have no obligation to pay License Fees for a particular Licensed Product on which another licensee under an AAC Patent License Agreement administered by Via has paid Via the required License Fees as set forth in Appendix B, provided that Licensee documents the payment of such other licensee to Via’s reasonable satisfaction.


4.6.6. Sales Prior to Effective Date. Not later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Date of this Agreement, Licensee shall submit to Via a written report, identical in form and to the content requirements set forth in Section 4.2 (“Quarterly Reports”), for any Licensed Products Sold or Otherwise Supplied during the entire period prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, together with payment for fees and interest thereon, compounded monthly at the statutory rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or the highest rate permitted under applicable law, whichever is lower; or if no Licensed Products were Sold or Otherwise Supplied during the entire period prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, a statement to that effect. Upon receipt of such reports and payments, the license grant set forth in Section 2.1 will be extended to include Licensed Products Sold or Otherwise Supplied prior to the Effective Date for which a report and payment has been received. If the Effective Date is less than six (6) months after the commencement of discussions leading to execution of this Agreement between Via and Licensee, then interest on such past practice may be waived, at Via’s sole discretion.


4.7. Books and Records. Licensee and its Affiliates shall keep true, correct, and complete books and records of all sales, licenses, leases, uses, returns, disposals, or other transfers of Licensed Products under this Agreement for at least five (5) years from the date of their creation in order to confirm the accuracy of all of Licensee’s reports and amounts paid or payable hereunder. Via may select an independent and professionally licensed accountant (“Auditor”) to audit, inspect and make abstracts of such books and records, at Licensee’s facility (or elsewhere as determined by Auditor) as necessary to verify their accuracy and that of all other written reports and statements provided for herein, and verify or determine fees paid or payable under this Agreement (“Audit”). Such Audit shall be performed during regular business hours upon at least ten (10) days’ notice and not more often than once annually unless an underpayment of five percent (5%) or more is found, in which case Via may conduct more frequent Audits to the extent reasonably necessary to verify consistently accurate reporting. The Auditor may provide Via information sufficient to support its findings. If the Audit shows an underpayment, then Licensee shall immediately pay the amounts due, plus accrued interest, plus the cost of the Audit if applicable, after receiving notice of the results of the applicable Audit. Licensee will pay the cost of the Audit if, for the period audited, an underpayment of five percent (5%) or more is found, based on and compared to payments or reports received by Via prior to Via’s notice informing Licensee of the Audit. Following an Audit, Via will apply any subsequent payments received from Licensee hereunder first to the costs of the Audit and then to accrued interest before applying any remainder to outstanding License Fees. Via may report the results of any Audit to Licensors; provided, however, that Via shall not disclose in its report to Licensors any Licensee Confidential Information, or any other Licensee-specific information other than discrepancies in Licensee’s payments of License Fees for the period that was the subject of the Audit.


4.8. Trial Period Rules. No amounts shall accrue or become payable with respect to a Licensed Product Sold solely to the extent the Licensed Product is provided on terms that allow the End User to evaluate the Licensed Product as provided below: 4.8.1. at the end of the Trial Period, the Licensed Product is automatically disabled such that the Licensed Product would not, in the absence of a license, directly or indirectly infringe a Licensed Patent; such Trial Period not to exceed thirty (30) days;


4.8.2. the Licensed Product is altered in a manner that renders the Licensed Product unusable for commercial or personal purposes by compromising the audio output, such as by periodically inserting an interval of silence or periodically inserting an audible tone or beep in the audio output; or


4.8.3. the Licensed Product is subject to an agreement between Licensee and an End User obligating that End User to return or destroy all copies of the Licensed Product unless that End User purchases such Licensed Product prior to the expiration of the Trial Period; such Trial Period not to exceed thirty (30) days. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be only one Trial Period per End User, and if the End User retains the Licensed Product for any period of time after the expiration of the Trial Period, or if the output of the Licensed Product is no longer compromised, License Fees shall be due for such Licensed Product as specified in Appendix B.


5. Confidentiality.

5.1. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” shall include any non-public information that is marked “confidential” or, if disclosed orally, is identified as confidential prior to, during, or immediately after such oral disclosure, which is disclosed by one Party (“Discloser”) to the other Party (“Recipient”) pursuant to this Agreement.


5.2. Reproduction. Recipient shall not reproduce Confidential Information except and only to the extent necessary to exercise its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Reproductions of Confidential Information shall include any trade secret legends, proprietary notices and/or copyright notices present in the Confidential Information.


5.3. Disclosure. Recipient shall restrict disclosure of Confidential Information to employees, attorneys and accountants with a need to know such information to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and Recipient shall advise such employees, attorneys and accountants, in advance of such disclosure, of the obligations of this Section 5 (“Confidentiality”) and shall require such employees, attorneys, and accountants to be bound, in writing, by confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those herein. Recipient shall not disclose Confidential Information to any other third party without prior written approval of Discloser. All tax credit payments and related documents shall be deemed Confidential Information and shall be disclosed only on a need-to-know basis. Except for books and records specified in Section 4.7 (“Books and Records”) above, Recipient’s obligation to maintain confidentiality of Confidential Information shall expire three (3) years from the date of disclosure.


5.4. Use. All Confidential Information that is disclosed for the purposes set forth in this Agreement shall be used only to the extent necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, shall be subject to the restrictions of this Section 5 (“Confidentiality”) and shall not be used for any other purpose. The fact that a discussion involving the disclosure of Confidential Information will occur or has occurred shall also be considered Confidential Information.


5.5. Property. All Confidential Information that is owned by the Discloser shall remain the property of Discloser. Recipient's duty to protect Confidential Information commences upon receipt of the Confidential Information.


5.6. Exclusions. The foregoing restrictions on the use and disclosure of Confidential Information shall not apply to any Confidential Information:

5.6.1. independently developed by Recipient or lawfully received free of restriction from another source having the right to furnish the Confidential Information;

5.6.2. after it has become generally available to the public without breach of this Agreement by Recipient;

5.6.3. that, at the time of disclosure to Recipient, was known to Recipient free of restriction as evidenced by documentation in Recipient's possession; or

5.6.4. that Discloser agrees in writing is free of such restrictions.


5.7. Exceptions. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a Recipient from disclosing Confidential Information to the extent the Recipient is legally compelled to do so by any governmental, investigative or judicial agency pursuant to proceedings over which such agency has jurisdiction, provided that the Recipient first gives Discloser notice of the required disclosure. In no event shall Recipient's cooperation with Discloser require Recipient to take any action which, on the advice of Recipient's counsel, could result in the imposition of any sanctions or other penalties against Recipient.


5.8. No Implied Assurances. None of the Confidential Information which may be disclosed by Discloser shall constitute any representation, warranty, guarantee, inducement or other assurance by Discloser of any kind, and, in particular, with respect to the noninfringement of any intellectual property rights, or any other rights of any third persons or of Discloser.


5.9. Injunctive Relief. The Parties agree that in the case of the breach of any provision of this Section 5 (“Confidentiality”), the aggrieved Party may suffer immediate and irreparable harm and that immediate injunctive relief may therefore be appropriate.


6. Term and Termination.

6.1. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue thereafter for a period of five (5) years. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Section 6, Licensee shall have the option to renew this Agreement for additional periods of five (5) years each subject to providing Via with written notice of Licensee’s election to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. As determined by Via in its reasonable discretion, certain terms and conditions of this Agreement may be subject to change upon renewal. Furthermore, if Licensors generally increase the License Fees, Licensors have the option to increase the License Fees herein upon any renewal by the same percentage as the general price increase, but in no event more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Schedule of Fees.


6.2. Termination for Breach. Failure to pay or perform any obligation hereunder within the time prescribed shall constitute an event of material default. Failure to cure any event of material default within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice describing the nonperformance, or thirty (30) days with respect to non-payment of funds, shall entitle the Party giving such notice to terminate, or suspend, any or all portions of this Agreement.


6.3. Individual Licensor’s Option to Withdraw Patents. In the event Licensee or any of its Affiliates makes a claim, raises a counterclaim, or files a suit, directly or indirectly, against a Licensor and/or any of its Affiliates over a patent alleged, or believed in such Licensor’s reasonable judgment, to be an Essential AAC Patent, then such Licensor may withdraw the grant of license under its and its Affiliates’ Essential AAC Patent(s) from this Agreement. Upon such withdrawal, Via will promptly notify Licensee, and as of the date of the filing of such claim, counterclaim, or suit ("Claim Date"), Licensee's Licensed Patent(s) under this Agreement will cease to include the Essential AAC Patents of such Licensor and its Affiliates. Via will provide Licensee with a revised Appendix A to this Agreement, which shall be effective as of the Claim Date.


6.4. Termination for Convenience. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at will by providing Via with written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of such termination (the “Termination Date”), with such notice becoming effective only if (i) Licensee has fully performed all of its payment and other obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) either (a) Licensee certifies to Via in writing prior to the Termination Date that it has ceased to make, use, import, Sell and Otherwise Supply Licensed Products as of the Termination Date; or (b) prior to the Termination Date, Via has received written confirmation that Licensee has entered into bilateral agreements with each of the Licensors covering the practice of the Licensed Patents for making, having made, using, importing, Selling and Otherwise Supplying Licensed Products for the purpose of encoding or decoding data in accordance with the AAC Standard.


6.5. Effect of Termination.

6.5.1. Effect of Termination on Payments and Reporting. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the payment date of all monies due and the reporting date of all Quarterly Reports shall automatically be accelerated so that they shall all become due, payable, and deliverable no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement.


6.5.2. Effect of Termination on License. Upon expiration or termination, all licenses granted to Licensee hereunder shall revert to Licensors, except that for a period of six (6) months after the Term of this Agreement, Licensee shall be entitled to fill orders for Licensed Products received prior to expiration or termination and to make, or have made for it, and to Sell Licensed Products for which commitments to vendors had been made prior to notice of such expiration or termination (“Sell Off Period”), except when this Agreement is terminated for material breach the foregoing Sell Off Period shall not apply, but rather the termination provisions set forth in Section 6.2 above (“Termination for Breach”) shall apply. Any expiration or termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms in this Section 6 (“Term and Termination”) shall not relieve Licensee of its obligation to account for and make payments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for all Licensed Products Sold or Otherwise Supplied by Licensee either prior or subsequent to the expiration or termination date.

 

6.6. Survival. The definitions and the Parties’ rights, duties and obligations which, by their nature, would continue beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 4.7 (“Books and Records”), 5 (“Confidentiality”), and 7 (“Representations and Warranties”) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.


7. Representations and Warranties.

7.1. Negation of Representations and Warranties by Via and Licensors. Via and Licensors, individually and collectively, make no representation, warranty, covenant or claim regarding:

7.1.1. the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of the Licensed Patents;

7.1.2. any ongoing maintenance or prosecution of any of the Licensed Patents;

7.1.3. any defense of Licensee against any actions or suits of any nature brought by any third parties;

7.1.4. any obligation to bring or prosecute any actions or suits against any third parties for infringement; or

7.1.5. any sufficiency, adequacy or completeness of the Licensed Patents for any purpose including but not limited to make, use, import, Sell, or Otherwise Supply Licensed Products.


7.2. Representations and Warranties by Licensee. Licensee represents, warrants and covenants that:

7.2.1. Licensee enters into this Agreement for its own convenience to acquire nonexclusive rights from multiple Licensors hereto in a single transaction rather than in multiple transactions for rights to the Licensed Patents which it believes are necessary to make, use, import, Sell, or Otherwise Supply Licensed Products; and by doing so Licensors and Licensee can achieve economies of scale, reduce transaction costs, integrate complementary technologies, and promote the AAC Standard;

7.2.2. Licensee is aware that the Licensed Patent(s) may not comprise all the technology, or include licenses to all of the patents required to make, use, import, Sell, or Otherwise Supply a Licensed Product;

7.2.3. Licensee acknowledges that Via and Licensors, individually and collectively, make no representation, warranty, covenant or claim that the Licensed Patents hereunder include all applicable Essential AAC Patents throughout the world;

7.2.4. Licensee acknowledges that Via and Licensors, individually and collectively, make no representation, warranty, covenant or claim that making, using, importing, Selling, or Otherwise Supplying Licensed Products will not infringe, directly, indirectly, by inducement or otherwise, any patent not licensed hereunder;

7.2.5. Licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold Via and the Licensors, individually and collectively, harmless and free from and against any claim, loss, damage or other liability based on or otherwise arising out of Licensee’s conduct; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify and hold Via or the Licensors harmless from and against a claim, loss, damage or liability based on or otherwise arising out of conduct by Via or the Licensors;

7.2.6. Licensee acknowledges that Via and the Licensors have not investigated Licensee's particular Licensed Product(s) and that to the extent such Licensed Product(s) include features not necessarily and unavoidably required by the practice of the AAC Standard such features may infringe patents and/or intellectual property rights owned by the Licensors which are not included in the Licensed Patent(s);

7.2.7. Licensee has not, in contemplation of signing this Agreement, made an assignment of, or granted an exclusive license to, any Essential AAC Patent to any third party. During the Term, any assignment made or exclusive license granted by Licensee of any Essential AAC Patent may only be assigned or licensed under the condition that such Essential AAC Patent continues to be subject to the obligation to offer a license to all Licensors and all other licensees under an AAC Patent License Agreement administered by License Administrator pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.


7.3. Representations and Warranties by Each Party. Each Party represents, covenants and warrants that:

7.3.1. this Agreement does not violate any of that Party’s existing agreements;

7.3.2. such Party has the authority, power and right to convey the rights or accept the obligations created hereunder.


7.4. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. THE FOREGOING REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, AND EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7 (“REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES”), VIA AND THE LICENSORS MAKE NO WARRANTY OF ANY TYPE OR OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS.


7.5. WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES. VIA AND THE LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF VIA OR ANY OF THE LICENSORS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7.6. LIMITATION OF REMEDIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN ALL EVENTS, LICENSEE’S SOLE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY CLAIM OF BREACH SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL VIA'S AND LICENSORS’ AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO LICENSEE FOR DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS DUE TO VIA BUT UNPAID BY LICENSEE OR THE AMOUNTS PAID BY LICENSEE TO VIA IN THE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, WHICHEVER IS LESS.

7.7. FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 7.6 (“LIMITATION OF REMEDIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY”) SHALL APPLY EVEN IF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

7.8. Express Allocation of Risks and Benefits. All of the terms and conditions in this Section 7 (“Representations and Warranties”) have been expressly accepted by the Parties and represent the bargained for allocations of risks and benefits under this Agreement which are reflected in the financial terms between the Parties in this Agreement. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the Parties.


8. Right to Independent Negotiation.

8.1. Acknowledgements. Licensee understands and acknowledges that the Licensed Patents are offered to be licensed for the convenience of Licensee, and Licensee is free to negotiate licenses and/or fees for the Licensed Patents directly with the Licensors independently, individually and directly on mutually acceptable terms and conditions which may be different from those set forth in this Agreement.


8.2. Independent Negotiations. Licensee also understands and acknowledges that Licensee is free to conduct the negotiations described in this Section 8 (“Right to Independent Negotiation”) simultaneously with any or all of the Licensors independently, individually and directly.


9. General.

9.1. Section Titles. Section titles are intended only to aid and assist the reader as an index device and are not intended to be substantive or fully descriptive of the contents of the section or to be used for construction or interpretation.

9.2. Assignment. Licensee shall not assign this Agreement or delegate any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Via, except in connection with Licensee’s merger with another entity, or sale to another entity of its entire business, or substantially all of the assets used to carry out the business related to practice of the technology to which this Agreement pertains, provided that such entity shall promptly agree in writing with Via to perform all Licensee’s obligations and duties hereunder. Any attempt to do so without such consent is void. Via may assign the administration and management of this Agreement or its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to a successor in connection with a merger with or acquisition by or sale of all of Via’s assets, or in the event the Licensors designate a different license administrator. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.


9.3. Compliance with Laws. Licensee will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including any applicable laws and regulations relating to export, import, and applicable royalty withholding laws and regulations, and will defend and hold Via and all Licensors harmless from any expense or damage resulting from Licensee’s violation or alleged violation of any such law or regulation. Licensee shall not export or re-export any data acquired from Licensors under this Agreement, or the direct product thereof, to any country in contravention of applicable law.


9.4. Costs. Any covenant requiring a Party to perform or provide an act or service shall be construed to impose upon such Party the burden of the cost thereof unless otherwise provided for herein.


9.5. Assertion of Unenforceability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and the unenforceable or invalid provision shall be amended to achieve as closely as possible the economic effect of the original provision.


9.6. Modification and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed modified by any act or omission of a Party or its agents, or by failure to object to any acts of a Party which may be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. No waiver of a breach committed by a Party in one instance shall constitute a waiver or permission to commit or continue breaches in other or like instances. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified other than by a duly executed amendment signed by authorized representatives of the Parties, except that Via may provide updates to Appendix A, and the Parties may provide updates to contact information, addresses and other administrative matters via written notice, email, facsimile, or as provided in Section 4.5.7 above.


9.7. Calendar Days. All references to days under this Agreement are a reference to calendar days; thus, for example, when action is required “within thirty (30) days” then in all cases such action is required within thirty (30) calendar days.


9.8. Notices. All notices and communication shall be in written English, to the addresses below, or to such other contact information as either Party may designate pursuant to proper notice, and, except to the extent an alternative means is specified below or elsewhere in this Agreement, sent by an internationally-recognized courier service that provides proof of delivery. All notices so provided shall be deemed effective upon receipt as indicated by such proof, and in no case later than ten (10) days after sending. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Via may send notices updating contact information, addresses and other administrative matters, and any updates to the list of Licensors and Licensed Patents in Appendix A pursuant to Sections 2.6.2 or 6.3 or otherwise, via email, facsimile, as provided in Section 4.5.7 above, or other electronic means. The parties may agree on additional procedures for electronic communication; such agreement may be entered into by electronic means. If and when so entered into, such procedures will be deemed to be incorporated into the notice procedures set forth in this Section 9.8 (“Notices”). All fees payable to Via shall be paid by check tendered to the following address or wire transfer to the bank and account set forth in the applicable invoice from Via (or such other payment addresses or bank account as Via shall designate in writing):

9.9. Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive law of the State of California and applicable federal law of the United States, but without regard to choice of law provisions thereof. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and entered into in San Francisco, California. The Parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of, and waive any venue objections against, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division and the Superior Court of the State of California, San Francisco County, in any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement. In the event that any action is brought to resolve any dispute under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party all costs and expenses incurred in that action as well as any appeal therefrom, including all reasonable attorney's fees and costs. Licensee shall not object to any enforcement action brought by Via under this Agreement on the basis that the Licensors should be required to seek, maintain, or be joined to such action. Each Party expressly waives the defense of sovereign immunity and any other defense based on the fact or allegation that it is an agency or instrumentality of a sovereign state.


9.10. Relationship of the Parties. The Parties are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or other agency between Via and Licensee, and neither Via nor Licensee has the authority to bind the other or incur any obligation on behalf of the other.


9.11. Controlling Language. This Agreement and the Appendices hereto are prepared and executed in the English language only, which language shall be controlling in all respects. Any translations of this Agreement into any other language are for reference only and shall have no legal or other effect. Any notice which is required or permitted to be given by one Party to the other under this Agreement shall be in the English language and shall be in writing. All proceedings related to this Agreement shall be conducted in the English language.


9.12. Third Party Beneficiary. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that each Licensor is a direct and intended third party beneficiary of those provisions of this Agreement expressly or implicitly referencing Licensor and Licensor shall be entitled to enforce the terms of such provisions directly against Licensee. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon Licensee or any other third party any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of any separate agreement between any of Via, the Licensors or any third party. Except for each Licensor and the Parties, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.


9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, whether in person or by facsimile transmission, simultaneously in counterpart, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.


9.14. Review by Counsel. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is sophisticated and has consulted legal counsel with respect to this transaction.

If any Licensed Product is Sold or Otherwise Supplied for use by an End User in a country/region in which there is no unexpired Licensed Patent, but is manufactured in a country/region in which a Licensed Patent remains unexpired, then the identity of the country/region of manufacture shall determine the applicable R1 or R2 rate. The volume of units of R1 Products may not be aggregated with the volume of units of R2 Products for purposes of determining the applicable rate under either the R1 or R2 Rate Tables.
