For clarity, Object Code copies of computer programs that have been released by Licensee or a Subsidiary of Licensee to the Helix Community under the RealNetworks Public Source License version 1.0 or the GNU General Public License version 2.0 will be considered Free Licensee Media Products.

2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

 

2.1 Limited License. Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee and each of its Subsidiaries, a non-exclusive, non transferable (except as set forth in Exhibit C and Section 6.1), royalty-free, fully paid up, irrevocable (except as set forth in Section 4 and Section 2.5 of Exhibit C), worldwide license, under the Licensed Patents, during the License Term:

 

  (a) without the right to sublicense, to make, have made, use and import Licensee Services and to practice any method or process to offer Licensee Services (including, for clarity, the right to offer such Licensee Services for the benefit of third parties, but not to sell or license any products, which right is addressed in Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c));

 

  (b) without the right to sublicense, to make, have made, use, and import Licensee Products (including Licensee Media Products) and to practice any method or process to make or use Licensee Products (including Licensee Media Products);

 

  (c) to sell and offer for sale any Licensee Media Products, in Object Code form, to a third party (and to sublicense the rights granted in this Section 2.1(c) for the sale of Licensee Media Products by such third parties), but if and only to the extent that Licensee, any of its Subsidiaries or any sublicensee, as applicable is subject to a bona fide written indemnity obligation to its purchasers in those sales with respect to patent assertions against the Licensee Media Product without regard to the owner or origin of such patents. For clarity, (i) any such licensed sale of a Licensee Media Product will be deemed exhaustive of the applicable Licensed Patents anywhere in the world, regardless of the

 

-2-


  jurisdiction in which sold, to the full extent that such sale would have been exhaustive of a United States patent if sold in the United States, (ii) “sales” by sublicensees may include distribution of License Media Products reproduced from golden masters under license from Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) the transfer of ownership of a copy of a Licensee Media Product (whether through electronic distribution or otherwise) will be considered a “sale” whether or not consideration is paid in exchange for that copy and (iv) reasonable limits on indemnity obligations, such as limitations on patent claims or geographical limitations, will not alone be indicative that an indemnity obligation is not bona fide for purposes of this Section 2.1(c), except that where Licensee has through such limitations excluded a Licensed Patent from an indemnity obligation for a particular Licensee Product, such Licensee Product shall likewise be unlicensed under such Licensed Patent.

 

2.2 Have Made Rights. Without limiting any other restriction on the rights and license granted under this Agreement or implying any right not expressly granted under this Agreement, the license granted to Licensee and its Subsidiaries to “have made” Licensee Services in Section 2.1(a) and Licensee Products (including Licensee Media Products) in Section 2.1(b) will apply solely when the Object Code for the product to be manufactured by a third party (including, without limitation, independent contractors) is owned by Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries and furnished in substantially complete form to the third party by Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries, and that Object Code is not originally provided by the third party to Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries. Further, the “have made” rights in Section 2.1 will not apply to any standard, off the shelf product of any third party or to products originally designed by any third party. For clarity, the restrictions on sublicensing and have made rights do not prohibit Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries from using bona fide independent contractors and the independent contractors’ activities are included within the scope of the license under Section 2.1 solely to the extent that the independent contractors are acting for Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries and on Licensee’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ behalf within the scope of licenses granted in Section 2.1. Licensee and each of its Subsidiaries are responsible for its respective independent contractors’ failure to comply with the applicable terms of this Agreement.

 

2.3 No Patent Laundering. Without limiting any other restriction on the rights and license granted under this Agreement or implying any right not expressly granted under this Agreement, the licenses granted under Section 2.1 are intended to cover only those products or services that meet the definitions of Licensee Products (including Licensee Media Products) or Licensee Services, and are not intended to cover other manufacturing or programming activities that Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries may undertake on behalf of third Persons (patent laundering activities).

 

2.4 No Other Rights. No intellectual property rights or licenses are granted under this Agreement, by implication, estoppel, statute or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Licensee and each of its Subsidiaries agrees that, as an essential basis of the bargain set forth in this Agreement, the licenses in Section 2.1 apply solely to the Licensed Patents and do not apply to any other patents, patent applications or other patent rights of Licensor or any Subsidiary of Licensor (“Other Patent Rights”), whether held now or later acquired by any such Person, regardless of whether, and even if, one or more of the claims of such Other Patent Rights may be infringed by the practice of one or more of the claims of the Licensed Patents. For clarification, the incorporation of a Licensee Product or Licensee Service into another product, service, or process or the combination of a Licensee Product or Licensee Service with any product, service, or process will not negate the license with respect to the Licensee Product or Licensee Service, but except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no license or immunity is granted by Licensor under this Agreement for such combination or the use of such combination.

 

2.5 Identification of Subsidiaries. Upon written request, Licensee shall, within 30 days after receiving such request, inform Licensor in writing whether any Person is a Subsidiary of Licensee.

3. NEW PRODUCTS

If Licensee reasonably determines that, due to changes in technology or other developments in the marketplace, the license and other rights granted under this Agreement are no longer sufficient to allow Licensee to distribute its products and services, Licensor will negotiate in good faith with Licensee modifications to the license and other rights granted under the Licensed Patents pursuant to this Agreement; provided that in no event will Licensor be obligated to agree to any amendment, grant of rights or terms that are not in its own commercial interest, as determined in its sole reasonable discretion.

 

4. TERM

 

4.1 Term. This Agreement and the license and rights granted herein shall be void ab initio if the Asset Purchase Agreement does not close in accordance with its terms.

 

4.2 Termination.

 

  (a) In addition to the termination rights in Sections 4.2(b) and 4.2(c), upon written notice to Licensee, Licensor may terminate this Agreement and the license and other rights granted to Licensee and any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement if Licensee does not pay to Licensor, in the aggregate, Claim Amounts (as defined in Section 8.4(a) of the Asset Purchase Agreement) greater than or equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), which are identified in Indemnification Claims (as defined in Section 8.4(a) of the Asset Purchase Agreement) relating to breaches of any Category 1 Patent Representations (as defined in Section 8.1(c)(ii) of the Asset Purchase Agreement) by Licensee (i) as and when required under Section 8.4(c) of the Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to Indemnification Claims to which Licensee has no objection, or (ii) as and when required by Section 8.4(b) of the Asset Purchase Agreement if the parties have agreed on the amount of Indemnification Claims through the execution of a memorandum under Section 8.4(b)(i) without Licensee commencing an Action (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) as permitted under Section 8.4(b); provided, however, that Licensor must, before sending written notice of termination under this Section 4.2(a), provide to Licensee written notice of its failure to comply with 4.2(a)(i) or (ii) and 90 days to cure Licensee’s non-compliance.

 

  (b) In addition to the termination rights in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(c), this Agreement may be terminated as set forth in Section 2.5 of Exhibit C.

 

  (c) In addition to the termination rights in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b), this Agreement and the license and rights granted to Licensee shall immediately terminate without further action of either party if any one of the following conditions in (1) through (7) below occurs:

 

  (1) the filing by Licensee of a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency;

 

  (2) any adjudication that Licensee is bankrupt or insolvent;

 

  (3) the filing by Licensee of any petition or answer seeking reorganization, readjustment or arrangement of its business under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency;

 

  (4) the appointment of a receiver, supervisor or liquidator for all or substantially all of Licensee’s property or a money judgment against Licensee that remains unsatisfied for more than 30 days after entry of judgment and such judgment has not been appealed;

 

-4-


  (5) the making of any assignment for the benefit of Licensee’s creditors;

 

  (6) the institution of any proceedings for the liquidation or winding up of the business of Licensee or for the termination of its corporate charter; or

 

  (7) any attempted assignment (by operation of law or otherwise), except for any Permitted Assignment, Change of Control or Change of Character as expressly permitted in Exhibit C.

In addition, the license granted to a Subsidiary of Licensee shall immediately terminate solely with respect to that Subsidiary of Licensee without further action of either party if any one of the conditions in Section 4.2(c)(1) through (6) above occurs with respect to that Subsidiary of Licensee. For purposes of determining whether any such condition has occurred with respect to a Subsidiary of Licensee, as the circumstances require, “Subsidiary of Licensee” shall be substituted for “Licensee” when reading this Section 4.2(b).

 

4.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the license and rights granted under this Agreement to Licensee and all Subsidiaries of Licensee shall immediately terminate.

 

4.4 Survival. Sections 1, 2.4, 4.3, 4.4, 5, and 6 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

5. DISCLAIMERS

 

5.1 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be implied as:

 

  (a) a warranty or representation as to the validity, enforceability or scope of any Licensed Patent;

 

  (b) a warranty or representation that any manufacture, sale, use or other disposition of Licensee Products or Licensee Services shall be free from infringement of any patent or other intellectual property rights of Licensor or any third Person;

 

  (c) an agreement or obligation to bring or prosecute actions or suits against any third Person for infringement or conferring any right to bring or prosecute actions or suits against any third Person for infringement;

 

  (d) an agreement or obligation to defend any action or suit brought by a third Person that challenges the validity of any of the Licensed Patents;

 

  (e) conferring any right to Licensee or a Subsidiary of Licensee to use in advertising, publicity or otherwise, any trademark, trade name or names, or any contraction, abbreviation or simulation thereof, of Licensor;

 

-5-


  (f) conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise upon Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee any license or other right under any patent, copyright, maskwork, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property right, except the license and rights expressly granted under this Agreement;

 

  (g) an obligation on Licensor to furnish any technical or other information or know how;

 

  (h) an obligation on Licensor to file or maintain any patent or patent application, or to secure any patent; or

 

  (i) imposing any commitment or obligation on either party to close the transactions under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

5.2 NO OTHER WARRANTIES. SOLELY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

6. MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1 No Assignment or Assumption.

 

  (a) Except as set forth in Exhibit C, neither this Agreement nor any right, license or obligation under this Agreement shall be assignable or assumable by or from Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee, whether in connection with a change in ownership, bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, sale or transfer of all, substantially all or any part of the business or assets of Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, including in connection with any Change of Control (as defined on Exhibit C) or Change of Character (as defined on Exhibit C), either voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without Licensor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld at Licensor’s sole discretion.

 

  (b) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any proposed or purported assumption or assignment of any right, license or obligation under this Agreement by Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee during or in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding related to Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee, the parties agree and stipulate as follows:

 

  (1) this Agreement is an executory agreement under 11 U.S.C. § 365 (Title 11 of the United States Code, referred to in this Section 6.1(b) as the “Bankruptcy Code”) or any similar foreign law; and

 

  (2)

as a licensor of “intellectual property” (as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) under this Agreement, in entering this Agreement and granting the rights and license it grants under this

 

-6-


  Agreement, Licensor has, in its efforts to protect its own valuable intellectual property, relied on the particular skills and business qualities of the recipients of such rights. Therefore, the parties agree that if Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee enters into any bankruptcy proceedings of any kind, this Agreement is of the type described in Section 365(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code because U.S. patent law prohibits the assignment of a patent license without the consent of the licensor, and thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision, this Agreement may not be assumed or assigned in bankruptcy without Licensor’s consent, which may be withheld in Licensor’s sole discretion.

 

  (c) Any purported assignment, assumption or transfer in violation of this Section 6.1 shall be null and void and without effect. Subject to the restrictions on Licensee and each Subsidiary of Licensee in this Section 6.1, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted respective successors and assigns.

 

6.2 Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE OR DATA OR COST OF COVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LICENSED PATENTS.

 

6.3 Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the parties shall be subject to all laws, present and future, of any government having jurisdiction over the parties and this transaction, and to orders, regulations, directions or requests of any such government.

 

6.4 Confidentiality of Terms. Each party shall keep the terms of this Agreement confidential and shall not now or hereafter divulge these terms to any third Person except:

 

  (a) with the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

 

  (b) to any governmental body having jurisdiction and authority to compel such disclosure; provided, that before such disclosure the party compelled to make such disclosure shall seek confidential treatment of any disclosed portion of this Agreement and shall reasonably cooperate with the other party in seeking and securing such confidential treatment;

 

  (c) subject to Sections 6.4(d) and (e), as otherwise may be required by law or legal process, including to legal and financial advisors in their capacity of advising a party in such matters; provided, that such advisors are obligated not to further disclose to any other Person any portion of such information;

 

-7-


  (d) during the course of litigation, so long as the disclosure of such terms are restricted in the same manner as is the confidential information of the other litigating parties and so long as (i) the restrictions are embodied in a court-entered protective order and (ii) the disclosing party informs the other party in writing at least five business days in advance of the disclosure;

 

  (e) in confidence to legal counsel, accountants, banks and financing sources and their advisors having a reasonable need to know, solely in connection with complying with information requests associated with contemplated and executed financial transactions, subject to customary written obligations of non-disclosure, non-use and safe-keeping; or

 

  (f) by Licensor in connection with any divestiture, sale, merger or other transaction involving or related to the Licensed Patents or the prosecution, maintenance, enforcement or defense of the Licensed Patents.

Additionally, each party may use similar terms in other agreements. Neither party shall use or refer to this Agreement or any of its provisions in any promotional activity.

 

6.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its conflict of law principles to the contrary.

 

6.6 Jurisdiction. All disputes and litigation arising out of or related to this Agreement, including matters connected with its performance, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, the federal courts sitting therein, or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, pursuant to 10 Del. C. § 346. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts, irrevocably waives all objections to such venue, and if such dispute is brought in Delaware Chancery court, waives its right to trial by jury.

 

6.7 Notice. All notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing (regardless of whether the provision requiring such notice expressly calls for such notice to be in writing) and shall be delivered by hand, or if dispatched by prepaid air courier or by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

For clarity, this paragraph will not be construed to supersede the licenses explicitly granted in Section 2.

Exhibit C

CHANGE OF CONTROL PROVISIONS


Exhibit C

CHANGE OF CONTROL PROVISIONS

Terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit C have the meanings set forth in the Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”).

 

1. Definitions.

 

1.1 Action” means any actual or asserted judicial or administrative proceeding, claim or litigation alleging patent infringement with respect to the products and services of Licensee or Licensor as those products and services exist as of the Effective Date. Any actual or asserted judicial or administrative proceeding, claim or litigation alleging patent infringement will be an “Action” under the Agreement if it (a) is commenced during the 5 year period beginning on the Effective Date, or (b) seeks damages for infringement allegedly arising during the 5 year period beginning on the Effective Date.

 

1.2 Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, such Person.

 

1.3 Allowed Assignee” means only if and to the extent that the transfer or deemed transfer resulting from such Change of Control, Change of Character or Permitted Assignment is permitted under Section 2.5:

 

  (a) Licensee in the case of an assignment or transfer or deemed assignment or transfer resulting from a Change of Control in which Licensee survives the Change of Control, including without limitation a Change of Control by operation of law in which Licensee is a surviving entity, by acquisition of securities of Licensee, by a merger in which Licensee is the surviving entity in the merger, by contract or otherwise;

 

  (b) the surviving entity in the case of an assignment or transfer or deemed assignment or transfer resulting from a merger in connection with a Change of Control in which the Licensee is not the surviving entity in such merger;

 

  (c) Licensee in the case of a Change of Character; or

 

  (d) the assignee or transferee or deemed assignee or transferee in any Permitted Assignment.

 

1.4 Annual Product Volume Growth Cap” shall mean, with respect to Licensee Media Products and Licensee Products (in units), the number of units that were licensed under the Agreement (or that would have been licensed under this Agreement before the Effective Date) during the four fiscal quarters preceding the applicable Transfer (the “Product Volume Baseline”) increased by the greater of


(i) *** of the Product Volume Baseline or (ii) ***. For clarity and notwithstanding the foregoing, no subsequent Transfer will be deemed to result in an Annual Product Growth Cap greater than that as calculated from any preceding Transfer.

 

1.5 Annual Services Revenue Growth Cap” shall mean, with respect to the revenue (calculated as the higher of either the actual value received, including all bargained-for consideration, and the fair market value of non-cash consideration) for Licensee Services which were licensed under the Agreement (or that would have been licensed under this Agreement before the Effective Date) during the four fiscal quarters preceding the applicable Transfer (the “Services Revenue Baseline”), up to the greater of (i) *** of the Services Revenue Baseline, or (ii) ***. For clarity and notwithstanding the foregoing, no subsequent Transfer will be deemed to result in an Annual Services Revenue Growth Cap greater than that for the same period as calculated from any preceding Transfer.

 

1.6 Annual Services User Growth Cap” shall mean, with respect to the number of recipients of those Licensee Services licensed under the Agreement (or that would have been licensed under this Agreement before the Effective Date) (“Users”) during the four fiscal quarters preceding the applicable Transfer (the “User Baseline”), up to the greater of (i) *** of the User Baseline, or (ii) ***. For clarity and notwithstanding the foregoing, no subsequent Transfer will be deemed to result in an Annual Services User Growth Cap greater than that as calculated from any preceding Transfer.

 

1.7 Change of Character” means that Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries, whether through a transaction or series of related transactions, by operation of law, merger, acquisition of assets or securities or otherwise, acquires all or any portion of any other Person (“Character Change Event”) such that:

 

  (a) Licensee’s total market capitalization after the Character Change Event exceeds the greater of one billion US dollars ($1,000,000,000) or three (3) times Licensee’s total market capitalization prior to such transaction(s) as reflected in the public stock exchange(s) in which Licensee’s stock is primarily traded, based on the average of the closing price of such stock on the last ten days on which such exchange is open for trading prior to the day such acquisition is announced if Licensee is and continues to be traded on a public stock exchange as compared to the average closing price of such stock on the ten days on which such exchange is open for trading immediately following the consummation of the Character Change Event; or

 

  (b) In the event that Licensee’s stock is not publicly traded after the consummation of the Character Change Event, the fair market value of all of the capital stock or other equity interests (without duplication) in Licensee and its Subsidiaries after consummation of the Character Change Event exceeds the greater of one billion US dollars ($1,000,000,000) or three (3) such fair market value prior to the Character Change Event (with such fair market value
