If a Product or Service is bartered for goods or services (therefore not a monetary consideration), or is provided through a transaction that is not at Arm’s Length, the Net Sales Revenue shall be calculated as above, using the average of net prices billed or charged in typical recent Sales of equivalent Products or Services, and if there are

DM_MTL/900002-10067/2667913.6

-3no such Sales, then it shall be deemed to be the fair market value (having regard to ABC CO ’s advertised prices and prices of near equivalents in the market). For purposes of this paragraph, the average of net prices will be the lower of (i) the immediately preceding 12-month average of net prices and (ii) the immediately preceding three-month average of net prices, in both cases excluding all transactions that were not at Arm’s Length (the “Bartered Price”).
If a Product or Service is bartered for goods or services which ABC CO will only receive at a later date, then royalties on the corresponding Net Sales Revenue shall only be payable once ABC CO actually receives the goods or services.

If a Product of Service is sold with other products or services (the “Bundled Product”), the Net Sales Revenue shall be determined as provided in the two preceding sentences and also according to the following: if the Bartered Price represents >80% of the Bundled Product price (the “Threshold Percentage”), then the Net Sales Revenues shall be equivalent to the Bundled Product price. For sake of clarity, the Threshold Percentage shall be calculated using the Bartered Price divided by the sum of the individual average selling price of the items included in the Bundled Product prior to applying a discount on the Bundled Product. Net Sales Revenue shall be calculated, in relation to matters not provided for in this Section, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as normally applied in the jurisdiction of the person who is the seller. 1.6 1.7 “Non-Recurring Fee” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 3.1. “Patents” means the patents and patent applications listed in Exhibit A and any resulting patent in the U.S. or any foreign country as well as resulting from division, continuation, and continuation-in-part patents. “Product” means any product incorporating partially or entirely the Technology. “Royalty Year” means each 12-month period beginning on the first day of the first Payment Period beginning on the Commencement Date. “Sale” means every sale, rent, delivery or any disposition of a Product (including without limiting the bartering of a Product or a Service) or any improvements, derivatives or modifications of a Product or the provision of a Service by ABC CO .

As consideration for the grant of the license hereinabove, if ABC CO grants sublicenses on the Technology to third parties, ABC CO shall also pay to LICENCE CO a royalty fee equal to ■% of Sublicensing Revenue (excluding Sales made by ABC CO to such third parties, which, if any, shall be subject to Section 3.1) received by ABC CO pursuant to such sublicenses. For greater certainty, wholesalers and other sale intermediaries shall not be considered sublicences and ABC CO shall therefore pay a royalty pursuant to Section 3.1 on Net Sales Revenues resulting from sales to such wholesalers and intermediaries. ABC CO shall pay LICENCE CO the Minimum Royalty (as defined below), beginning in 2013: 3.3.1 For purposes of this Agreement, “Minimum Royalty” means: 3.3.1.1 for Territory 1 Year Year 1 (2013) Year 2 (2014) Year 3 (2015) Year 4 (2016) Every year after 3.3.1.2 for Territory 2 Year Year 1 (2016) Year 2 (2017) Year 3 (2018) Every year after (CAN Dollars) (CAN Dollars)

Upon payments pursuant Sections 3.1 and 3.2 having reached $■ no further minimum royalties should be payable under Section 3.3. The Minimum Royalty for years 2013, 2014 and 2015 is non-refundable but may be credited to royalties due subsequently during the same Royalty Year, if any. The payment by ABC CO of a Minimum Royalty during any of these years which is in excess of royalties that would otherwise be due pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 during such year shall be used to offset potential payments of Minimum Royalty in any future years. Minimum Royalty for years 2013, 2014 and 2015 are due within 60 days following the last day of the calendar year. For years starting in 2016 and after, if the amounts paid by ABC CO to UNIVERSITY for a given year are inferior to the Minimal Royalty for that given year, then within 60

The payment by ABC CO of amounts in excess of Minimum Royalty during any year shall be used to offset potential payments of Minimum Royalty in any future years. Should ABC CO omit to pay the Minimum Royalty in Territory 1, LICENCE CO shall promptly notify ABC CO in writing of such non-payment and if ABC CO has not paid the Minimum Royalty which is due and owing at such time within 60 days after receipt of such notice, LICENCE CO may in its absolute discretion terminate ABC CO ’s exclusivity or treat non-payment as a material breach of this Agreement and terminate the license for Territory 1. Should ABC CO omit to pay the Minimum Royalty in Territory 2 but not in Territory 1, LICENCE CO shall promptly notify ABC CO in writing of such non-payment but may not terminate automatically this Agreement in Territory 2. Under such circumstances, LICENCE CO may either, at its sole discretion, i) give ABC CO a period of one (1 ) year to cure such default with regards to non-payment of Minimum Royalty related to Territory 2 or ii) allow ABC CO to repay such due Minimum Royalty related to Territory 2 by spending ■ the annual Minimum Royalty due to LICENCE CO in relation with Territory 2 on third parties’ fees related to patent issuance or maintenance, regulatory authorizations issuance, or sales, marketing and promotion expenses in Territory 2; for further certainty third parties’ fees related to Research and Development shall not be part of the fees which may be paid by ABC CO to cure a default regarding Minimum Royalty related to Territory 2. The rights granted to ABC CO in this Section 3.10 shall expire on December 31, 2018 and Section 3.9 shall then apply to any default by ABC CO with regards to Minimum Royalty related to Territory 2, mutatis mutandis. PAYMENTS All royalties and payments due under this Agreement (“Payments”) other than the Minimum Royalty shall be computed on a quarterly basis and be paid within 45 days after every March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (each a “Payment Period”), commencing January 1, 2013 (the “Commencement Date”).

...License Agreement Rodrick Green Cardinal Stritch University Legal and Ethical Issues / Mgt Info Sys - SMS 459 January 24th, 2013 License Agreement According the Inc.com "A licensing agreement is a legal contract between two parties, known as the licensor and the licensee. In a typical licensing agreement, the licensor grants the licensee the right to produce and sell goods, apply a brand name or trademark, or use patented technology owned by the licensor."(inc.com, 2005) I am not familiar with licensing agreements however I am very familiar with End User License Agreements because I am a gamer and I've used numerous software programs over the years. The End User License Agreement is a legal agreement between you and the owner of a software product. The End User License Agreement serves as an agreement between a producer and a user of computer software and specifies the parameter of use granted to the user. The software producer specifies these parameters and limitations on use, which can become part of a legally binding contract. When you check of the "I Agree" box, you are in fact legally accepting to abide by the terms of the agreement and to use the software as the owner specifies.

Licenses and Agreements

...Shrink-wrap agreements are sometimes called shrink-wrap licenses and are the internet equivalent of click-on agreements. A shrink-wrap agreement is an agreement whose terms are expressed inside a box in which the goods are packaged. Normally, a shrink-wrap agreement is not between a retailer and a buyer, but between the user or buyer of the product and the manufacturer of the hardware or software (Miller & Jentz, 2008). Many courts have determined that the seller has proposed a contract by including the terms with the product that a buyer could accept after reading the terms and using the product. A buyer’s failure to object to the terms contained within a shrink-wrap software package constitutes an acceptance of the terms by conduct. In this case the terms of the shrink-wrap agreement will be enforced by the courts. Shrink-wrap agreements will not be enforced by the courts if it is determined that the seller communicates the terms after a contract has been formed with a buyer. Under these conditions the courts would find the terms were not a part of the contract unless the buyer agreed to them (Miller & Jentz, 2008). In Mary DeFontes’ case she purchased the computer which contained an agreement that included the remedies available and the terms of the sale. By keeping the computer and using it for longer than thirty days and failing to object to the terms, it looks as if DeFontes is in acceptance of these terms. Dell’s website included an inconspicuous link at the bottom...

Development Strategies

...Joel Greene Chapter 7 Questions 1. Software as a Service, or SaaS, describes any cloud service where consumers are able to access software applications over the internet. The applications are hosted in “the cloud” and can be used for a wide range of tasks for both individuals and organizations. Google, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr are all examples of SaaS, with users able to access the services via any internet enabled device. Enterprise users are able to use applications for a range of needs, including accounting and invoicing, tracking sales, planning, performance monitoring and communications (including webmail and instant messaging). This an important trend. Instead of buying a software application from a software company, producing it in-house, or hiring a consultant or outside resource to produce a software package these web-based firms have provided a new alternative based on three separate models. These models are a fixed fee model, subscription model or usage model. Fixed fee does exactly that, provides a fixed fee or cost based on a service level required by the user. The subscription model varies cost based on number of users and workstations accessing the application. The usage model charges fees based on the transaction volume or number of operations performed by the applications. 2. Horizontal applications differ from vertical applications in that they provide a solution for many companies based on a common need. Applications such as accounting,...

Software version 3. license agreement 4. machine 5. machine location 6. install date 7. software requests 8. availability 9. software location 10. access level (by who, e.g., student, teacher, admin user, etc.) STATEMENT OF WORK [Draft] History The law requires that any business, including a school, track its software. It is important to know what software the school owns, in what versions, and what the license agreement for that software is. Whatever the license agreement for particular software, it is essential for the institution to know which software is installed on which machine, where that machine is located, and which users have access to that machine. It is also important to track when the software is uninstalled from a machine and when a machine is retired. Grandfield college currently uses several spreadsheets to track this information. They also track requests for new software, software checkouts to faculty with administrative privileges on their machines, and if installs are successful or run into any problems. When requests for software are received, the software management team must manually access a spreadsheet to see if the school has the data. When new software arrives, they must manually check the licensing agreement online when they don’t know off the top of their head. These agreements vary between being accessible to any computer on site via a server install or having a limited...

China Studies Foreign Ipos

...Under this special structure, Chinese legal entities hold the sensitive permits and licenses required to do business in China while the offshore holding companies in which foreigners buy shares contract with those onshore entities, which are often controlled by the holding companies’ top executives, to get revenue from fees and royalties. Since the China’s domestic exchanges are dominated by state firms thus any move to clamp down on future use of the VIE structure could leave privately owned companies in many industries with limited options for going public especially the Internet industries. It turns out that Chinese officials is decided to set up extensive controls on the Internet, after social-networking sites and other web-based tools are common and essential in people’s normal life II. My Reaction As we all know, most Internet companies in China take VIE structure to make themselves successfully listed overseas, such as Sina, Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba. If VIE structure is illegal, it is devastating to the all the partners or any stakeholders in these overseas listing companies, as well as those not-listed ones. Overseas company with a VIE structure are just a shell and what makes it valuable is the long-term agreement it assign with the domestic companies. If the agreement has a problem, the shell is worthless. Or if the domestic companies do not apply for all kinds of license qualifications for the VIE structure companies, it will also cause enormous influences...

Licsencing

...The verb license or grant licence means to give permission. The noun license (American English) or licence (British English, Indian English, Canadian English, Australian English) refers to that permission as well as to the document recording that permission. A license may be granted by a party ("licensor") to another party ("licensee") as an element of an agreement between those parties. A shorthand definition of a license is "an authorization (by the licensor) to use the licensed material (by the licensee)." In particular a license may be issued by authorities, to allow an activity that would otherwise be forbidden. It may require paying a fee and/or proving a capability. The requirement may also serve to keep the authorities informed on a type of activity, and to give them the opportunity to set conditions and limitations ------------------------------------------------- Licensing Definition: A business arrangement in which one company gives another company permission to manufacture its product for a specified payment Tweet There are few faster or more profitable ways to grow your business than by licensing patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs, and other intellectual property to others.
