LICENSEE if they are included as part of and within complete Licensed
Products
Sold by LICENSEE (or as replacement parts for Licensed Products
previously sold
by LICENSEE). No other, further or different license is hereby granted
or
implied.
5.1.1 InterDigital's Patents. The license granted by QUALCOMM
under
----------------------
Section 5.1 with respect to InterDigital's Patents is subject to all
other
limitations set forth in this Agreement which are applicable to all of
QUALCOMM's Intellectual Property licensed hereunder and is also subject
to the
following limitations:
a. No provision set forth herein shall be construed so
as to
grant any right or license under InterDigital's Included Patents with
respect to
time division multiple access (TDMA) technology; provided, however, that
such
limitations shall not in any way limit any of the rights granted under
this
Agreement to utilize InterDigital's Patents to implement the CDMA (or
non-TDMA)
aspects of any Licensed Products, even if such Licensed Products include
TDMA;
provided, however, in such case only the non-TDMA use of such Licensed
Product
will be licensed under InterDigital's Patents. By way of example, if a
Licensed
Product can operate in both IS-54 (TDMA) and IS-95 (CDMA) modes, the use
of such
Licensed Product in the IS-54 TDMA mode would not be licensed.
b. With respect to those Licensed Products
manufactured and
Sold by LICENSEE which do not incorporate CDMA ASICs purchased from
QUALCOMM
(the "Non-CDMA ASIC Licensed Products"), the license granted by QUALCOMM
under
InterDigital's Patents may terminate in accordance with the provisions
set forth
below:
i. After November 2, 1996. If, at any time after
November
----------------------
2, 1996, LICENSEE (or its Affiliate) initiates a CDMA patent
infringement
lawsuit against InterDigital or its affiliates (or their customers)
asserting
that any product manufactured and sold by InterDigital for use in non-
IS-95
based wireless applications infringes any patents and LICENSEE (or its
Affiliate) does not prevail in such lawsuit, then the license under
InterDigital's Patents granted by QUALCOMM to LICENSEE under this
Agreement,
with respect only to Non-CDMA ASIC Licensed Products, shall immediately
terminate.
ii. Licensed Products that Contain QUALCOMM's CDMA
ASICs.
----------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding whether or not the license under InterDigital's Patents
terminates as to Non-CDMA ASIC Licensed
11
Products, as set forth in paragraph b. i. above, Licensed Products
manufactured
and Sold by LICENSEE which do incorporate CDMA ASICs purchased from
QUALCOMM
will remain licensed under InterDigital's Patents pursuant to Section
5.1.
c. The license under InterDigital's Patents is limited
to use
in Wireless Applications which spread the CDMA signal over not more than
a 10
MHz bandwidth.
5.2 Royalties. In partial consideration for such license from
QUALCOMM,
---------
LICENSEE shall pay to QUALCOMM, * * * after the end of each calendar
quarter,
an amount equal to the percentage of the Net Selling Price for each
Licensed
Product set forth below that is Sold during such calendar quarter by
LICENSEE.
The percentage of the Net Selling Price payable to QUALCOMM for each
Licensed
Product Sold shall be determined each calendar quarter using the
following
schedule:
* * *
5.3 Right To Sublicense Affiliates. LICENSEE shall have the right
to
------------------------------
grant sublicenses only to Affiliates of LICENSEE with respect to any
rights
conferred upon LICENSEE under this Agreement; provided, however, that
any such
sublicense shall be subject in all respects to the restrictions,
exceptions,
royalty and other payment obligations, reports, termination provisions,
and
other provisions contained in this Agreement. LICENSEE shall also pay or
cause
its Affiliates to pay the same royalties on all Licensed Products Sold
by its
Affiliates as if LICENSEE had Sold such Licensed Products. All Licensed
Products
Sold by LICENSEE's Affiliates shall be aggregated with all of the
Licensed
Products Sold by LICENSEE for the purposes of determining the amount of
Licensed
Products Sold upon which royalties are to be paid to QUALCOMM. LICENSEE
shall
report to QUALCOMM the Net Selling Price for all Licensed Products Sold
by each
such Affiliate. LICENSEE, in addition to its Affiliates, shall be
responsible
and liable to QUALCOMM in the event that any of its Affiliates fails
under any
such sublicense to honor and comply with all obligations of LICENSEE as
though
said obligations were made expressly applicable to the Affiliate. Any
sublicense
by LICENSEE to an Affiliate of LICENSEE shall terminate immediately if
such
Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of LICENSEE. Except as set forth
above,
LICENSEE shall have no right to sublicense any of QUALCOMM's
Intellectual
Property or any of the rights conferred upon LICENSEE under this
Agreement.
5.4 Most Favored Royalty Rate. Subject to the exceptions set forth
below,

Licensed Products at a royalty rate less than the royalty payable by
LICENSEE to
QUALCOMM, and, which license will permit such third party to manufacture
and
sell Licensed Products for use within the scope of the license granted
in this
Agreement, QUALCOMM shall (i) promptly notify LICENSEE of such license,
and (ii)
extend to LICENSEE the lower royalty rates applicable for the territory
granted
in the noticed license and, at QUALCOMM's election, any or all other
terms and
conditions granted (whether more or less favorable than the other terms
and
conditions granted under this Agreement) with respect to the third party
license
effective as of the date on which they became effective in the third
party
license. LICENSEE shall have up to thirty (30) days after the date of
such
notice to notify QUALCOMM that it accepts a license from QUALCOMM at
such lesser
royalty rate as was made available to any such other licensee, provided
that
LICENSEE must also, at QUALCOMM's request (which will be conveyed by
QUALCOMM to
LICENSEE concurrently with QUALCOMM's notification), accept and be bound
by all
other material terms and conditions agreed to by QUALCOMM and such other
licensee (whether more or less favorable than the terms and conditions
of this
Agreement).
The above paragraph shall not apply with respect to (i) any license
or
legal commitments made by QUALCOMM prior to the Effective Date, (ii) any
license
granted by QUALCOMM to its Affiliates or (iii) any license granted by
QUALCOMM,
the consideration for which consists in whole or in part of patent
rights or
other rights of such substantial value as, in the reasonable and good
faith
judgment of QUALCOMM, to warrant (a) a reduction in royalty rates below
the
rates provided in this Agreement, or (b) the acceptance of such rights
in lieu
of royalties. This Section 5.4 shall not apply retroactively, nor shall
it be
construed as entitling LICENSEE to the return of, or credit for, any
money paid
by it prior to the grant of such third party license to such other
licensee.
* * *
5.6 Taxes. Any taxes, duties or imposts other than income or
profits
-----
taxes assessed or imposed upon the sums due hereunder in the United
States,
shall be borne and discharged by LICENSEE and no part thereof shall be
deducted
from the amounts payable to QUALCOMM under any clause of this Agreement,
said
amounts to be net to QUALCOMM, free of any and all deductions.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event sums payable under this Agreement (other
than the
Up-Front License Fees payable under Section 3) become subject to income
or
profits taxes under the tax laws of any country and applicable treaties
between
the United States and such country, LICENSEE may, if and to the extent
required
by law, withhold from each payment the amount of said income or profits
taxes
due and required to be withheld from each payment. LICENSEE will furnish
and
make available to QUALCOMM relevant receipts

this
document pursuant to a request for confidential treatment. The
omitted
material has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

regarding the payment of any country taxes paid over to any country's
government
on behalf of QUALCOMM. Such tax receipts will clearly indicate the
amounts that
have been withheld from the gross amounts due to QUALCOMM. Any and all
other
taxes, levies, charges or fees will be paid by LICENSEE for its own
account.
5.7 Conversion to U.S. Dollars. Royalties shall be paid in U.S.
dollars.
--------------------------
To the extent that the Net Selling Price for Licensed Products Sold by
LICENSEE
outside of the United States is paid to LICENSEE other than in U.S.
dollars,
LICENSEE shall convert the portion of the royalty payable to QUALCOMM
from such
Net Selling Price into U.S. dollars at the official rate of exchange of
the
currency of the country from which the Net Selling Price was paid, as
quoted by
the U.S. Wall Street Journal (or the Chase Manhattan Bank or another
agreed-upon
source if not quoted in the Wall Street Journal) for the last business
day of
the calendar quarter in which such Licensed Products were Sold. If the
transfer
of or the conversion into U.S. dollars is not lawful or possible, the
payment of
such part of the royalties as is necessary shall be made by the deposit
thereof,
in the currency of the country where the sale was made on which the
royalty was
based to the credit and account of QUALCOMM or its nominee in any
commercial
bank or trust company of QUALCOMM's choice located in that country,
prompt
notice of which shall be given by LICENSEE to QUALCOMM.
5.8 Purchases by LICENSEE from QUALCOMM. LICENSEE hereby
acknowledges and
-----------------------------------
agrees that the terms and conditions for the sale of any CDMA-related
product
which QUALCOMM agrees to sell to LICENSEE and/or its Affiliates,
including but
not necessarily limited to any Subscriber Unit and/or Component, shall
be set
forth in an agreement (the "Supply Agreement") to be negotiated in good
faith
between QUALCOMM and LICENSEE. LICENSEE and/or its Affiliates shall use
any
Component purchased from QUALCOMM only in Licensed Products Sold by
LICENSEE
and/or its Affiliates in accordance with this Agreement and such use of
any
Component containing any of QUALCOMM's Intellectual Property shall
require the
payment of royalties as set forth in Section 5.2 of this Agreement. If
LICENSEE
or its Affiliates desires to purchase any such products, it shall issue
a
purchase order (a "PO") to QUALCOMM. Each PO shall state the quantity of
items
ordered, the price most recently quoted by QUALCOMM and the desired
delivery
schedule. QUALCOMM shall accept or reject any such PO within ten (10)
days after
receipt thereof. No PO shall be binding upon QUALCOMM until accepted by
QUALCOMM
and in no event shall QUALCOMM or LICENSEE be bound by any terms
contained in
any PO or acknowledgement which are in addition to or inconsistent with
the
terms and conditions set forth in the Supply Agreement and any such
additional
or inconsistent terms and conditions shall be of no force
14
and effect, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by
authorized
officers of QUALCOMM and LICENSEE. Each PO accepted by QUALCOMM,
excluding any
such additional or inconsistent terms and conditions, this Agreement and
the
terms and conditions set forth in the Supply Agreement shall constitute
the
entire agreement between LICENSEE and QUALCOMM with respect to the
purchase,
sale and delivery of any such products.
5.9 Philips Covenant Not to Assert. QUALCOMM hereby represents and
------------------------------
warrants that Philips, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, covenants
that
Philips and its Affiliates will not assert any of the Philips' CDMA
Technically
Necessary Patents against LICENSEE's (or, if sublicensed in accordance
with
Section 5.3 of this Agreement, LICENSEE's Affiliates') manufacture, use,
sale,
or importation of Qualifying Licensed Products solely for Wireless
Applications;
provided, however, that Philips and/or its Affiliates may assert the
Philips'
CDMA Technically Necessary Patents against LICENSEE if LICENSEE asserts
any of
its patents against Philips or its Affiliates and any of their telephone
products or if LICENSEE initiates a declaratory judgment action,
reexamination
proceedings or opposition proceedings challenging the validity of any of
the
Philips' CDMA Technically Necessary Patents. Nothing in this Section 5.9
shall
prohibit, limit or covenant against Philips' rights to assert any of its
patents
against LICENSEE or its Affiliates for infringement relating to any time
division multiple access (TDMA) equipment or system (including, without
limitation, GSM, IS-54, PCS-1800, and PCS-1900).
5.10 Ericsson Patents.
----------------
5.10.1 Ericsson Patents Sublicensed. The term "Ericsson's
Patents"
----------------------------
means all of the following patents which are owned or sublicenseable by
Ericsson
without payment of any royalty or other consideration to a third party:
(a)
Ericsson's patents which, but for the sublicenses granted under Section
5.10.2
below, would be infringed by the use of QUALCOMM's Chipset for their
intended
purposes and (b) Ericsson's Essential Patents which are, or are claimed
by
Ericsson to be, essential to IS-95 Rev A or Rev B, whether or not such
Essential
Patents are infringed by the use of QUALCOMM's Chipset. For example, by
incorporating QUALCOMM's existing Chipset into a Licensed Product Sold
by
LICENSEE, the Ericsson's Patents sublicensed to LICENSEE would include,
but not
necessarily be limited to all of the following patents that Ericsson
asserted
against QUALCOMM in litigation: U.S. patent Nos. 5,088,108 (RE 36,017),
5,209,528 (RE 36,079), 5,148,485, 5,193,140, 5,230,003, 5,239,557,
5,282,250,
5,327,577 (RE 36,078), 5,390,245, 5,430,760, and 5,551,073, and their
foreign
counterparts, reissuances, divisionals, continuations and continuations
in part.
15
The term "Essential Patents" means those patents (in any country of
the
world) as to which it is, or is claimed by the patent owner to be, not
possible
on technical (but not commercial) grounds, taking into account normal
technical
practice and the state of the art generally available at the time of
adoption or
publication of the relevant standard for CDMA Applications, to make,
sell,
lease, otherwise dispose of, repair, use or operate equipment or methods
which
comply with such standard without infringing such patent.
5.10.2 Sublicense Under Ericsson's Patents. The following
sublicense
-----------------------------------
is granted subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including but
not limited to the payment of royalties hereunder in accordance with
Section
5.2) and Section 5.10.3 below: With respect only to those Licensed
Products Sold
by LICENSEE and its Affiliates that contain the Chipset, QUALCOMM hereby
grants
to LICENSEE a sublicense solely for CDMA Applications under all of
Ericsson's
patents to make (and Have Made), use, sell, offer for sale, lease or
otherwise
dispose of, and import Licensed Products into which QUALCOMM's Chipset
is
incorporated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no right or sublicense is
being
granted for or may be extended under patents that apply to the portion
of any
product that implements an air interface other than CDMA or analog
(e.g., no
rights and sublicenses are granted for or may be extended under patents
that
apply to the GSM part of any product).
5.10.3 Non-Assertion Against Ericsson. The sublicense granted
to
------------------------------
LICENSEE under Section 5.10.2 above shall continue only so long as
LICENSEE and
its Affiliates do not assert, either in litigation or by a direct
communication,
any Essential Patents for CDMA Applications against Ericsson's CDMA
infrastructure or test equipment products and LICENSEE does not dismiss
such
litigation or withdraw such assertion or offer a royalty-free license
under such
patents within thirty (30) days after QUALCOMM's receipt of notice from
Ericsson
of such litigation or communication.
5.11 Option to Extend the Territory. LICENSEE, at its option, may
------------------------------
elect to expand the Territory of the licenses granted by QUALCOMM in
Sections
5.1 and 5.10.2 to include the entire world. To exercise such option,
LICENSEE
must, no later than eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date,
deliver
written notice to QUALCOMM of its election to exercise such option. * *

6. LICENSEE'S LICENSE.
6.1 Grant of License from LICENSEE. Subject to the terms and
------------------------------
conditions of this Agreement, LICENSEE hereby grants to QUALCOMM a
personal,
nontransferable, worldwide, nonexclusive, fully-paid and royalty free
license (
without the right to sublicense except as set forth in Section 6.2
below) under
LICENSEE's Intellectual Property solely for Wireless Applications to
make (and
have made), import, use, offer for sale, and sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of
Licensed Products and Components. No other, further or different license
is
hereby granted or implied.
6.2 Right To Sublicense Affiliates. In addition to Section 6.3,
------------------------------
QUALCOMM shall have the right to grant sublicenses only to Affiliates of
QUALCOMM with respect to any rights conferred upon QUALCOMM under this
Agreement; provided, however, that any such sublicense shall be subject
in all
respects to the restrictions, exceptions, termination provisions, and
other
provisions contained in this Agreement. QUALCOMM, in addition to its
Affiliates,
shall be responsible and liable to LICENSEE in the event that any of its
Affiliates fails under any such sublicense to honor and comply with all
obligations of QUALCOMM as though said obligations were made expressly
applicable to the Affiliate. Except as set forth above, QUALCOMM shall
have no
right to sublicense any of LICENSEE's Intellectual Property. Any
sublicense by
QUALCOMM to an Affiliate of QUALCOMM shall terminate immediately if such
Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of QUALCOMM.
6.3 Covenant Not to Assert. LICENSEE hereby covenants that neither
----------------------
it nor its Affiliates will assert any of LICENSEE's or its Affiliates
rights in
Technically Necessary IPR against any of QUALCOMM's other Subscriber
Unit, * *
*, or ASIC licensees (the "Authorized Licensees") which (a) use any of
LICENSEE's Technically Necessary IPR to make, use and sell Subscriber
Units, * *
* and/or Components for Wireless Applications and (b) have agreed with
QUALCOMM
to a similar undertaking not to assert claims against LICENSEE and its
Affiliates. LICENSEE does not by this Section 6.3 agree, on behalf of
itself or
its Affiliates, to waive its rights to assert any of its rights against
any
Authorized Licensee for using any of LICENSEE's Commercially Necessary
IPR. Any
Authorized Licensee that has agreed with QUALCOMM to a similar
undertaking not
to assert claims against LICENSEE and its Affiliates shall be regarded
as a
third party beneficiary of this Section 6.3. QUALCOMM will promptly
notify
LICENSEE of any Authorized Licensees that have agreed to such a similar
undertaking.
6.4 License Of Future Commercially Necessary IPR. Each Party
agrees
--------------------------------------------
that, to the extent it makes licenses of Future Commercially Necessary
IPR

containing such Licensed Product a legible notice reading: "Licensed by
QUALCOMM
Incorporated under one or more of the following Patents," followed by a
list of
applicable patent numbers provided to LICENSEE by QUALCOMM upon request
by
LICENSEE or as may otherwise be instructed by QUALCOMM.
8.2 Logo. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is the CDMA designated
logo (the
----
"Logo"). The Parties agree that QUALCOMM is the owner of the Logo.
QUALCOMM
claims all common law trademarks in the Logo and has filed, or will
file,
applications to obtain trademark registration for the Logo. If, for
whatever
reason, registrations are not granted or use of the Logo is deemed by
QUALCOMM
to be inadvisable, QUALCOMM shall have the right to either designate a
new logo,
subject to LICENSEE's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, or terminate LICENSEE's right to use the Logo, or continue
LICENSEE's
right to use the Logo under QUALCOMM's common law rights. Until the
Logo is
properly registered, LICENSEE shall acknowledge QUALCOMM's ownership of
same by
displaying a superscript "TM" to the Logo (e.g., Logo (TM)), or stating
that the
Logo is a trademark of QUALCOMM Incorporated.
8.3 Logo Display. Unless otherwise notified by QUALCOMM as set
forth in
------------
Section 8.2 above, LICENSEE shall prominently display the Logo on the
exterior
of each Licensed Product Sold by it. The exact exterior location and
size shall
be subject to LICENSEE's reasonable discretion, provided that the Logo
shall be
readable and shall be permanently affixed. The Logo shall be designed
to remain
visibly displayed on the exterior of the Licensed Product.
8.4 Trademark Limitation. LICENSEE does not hereby acquire, and
shall not
--------------------
attempt to acquire, by registration, use or otherwise, the Logo, or any
18
confusingly similar mark, or any other trademark, service mark or trade
name of
or used by QUALCOMM, or any confusingly similar mark.
9. QUALITY CONTROL.
9.1 General Quality of Licensed Products. Throughout the term of
this
------------------------------------
Agreement, LICENSEE shall maintain, for the Licensed Products
manufactured or
Sold by it, manufacturing, servicing and quality standards comparable to
those
maintained generally by the CDMA Subscriber Unit industry.
9.2 Standards Compliance Testing. LICENSEE represents and
warrants that
----------------------------
the Licensed Products and Components that it makes or has made will
adhere with
and conform to, in all respects, the specifications contained in the CAI
and
that LICENSEE shall comply with the rules, regulations or other
requirements set
by such authorized standards body. LICENSEE shall, at QUALCOMM's
reasonable
written request, permit QUALCOMM or entities designated by QUALCOMM and
accepted
by LICENSEE, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, to
perform tests of LICENSEE's Licensed Products to ensure compliance and
conformity with the CAI. If such tests indicate material noncompliance
or
nonconformity therewith, such tests shall be at LICENSEE's cost and
LICENSEE
shall reimburse QUALCOMM for any such reasonable tests performed by
QUALCOMM at
QUALCOMM's then standard rates for such services; provided that the
total fees
for each such test performed shall not exceed $10,000 for each test.
Nonconforming Licensed Products, if any, shall not be sold or marketed
by
LICENSEE until the non-conformity is corrected.

10.1 Restrictions on Disclosure and Use. All documentation and
technical
----------------------------------

remain the property of the furnishing Party and may be used by the
receiving
Party only as follows. Such Information (a) shall not be reproduced or
copied,
in whole or part, except for use as expressly authorized in this
Agreement; and
(b) shall, together with any full or partial copies thereof, be returned

furnishing
Party consents in this Agreement or otherwise in writing, such
Information shall
be held in strict confidence by the receiving Party. The
19
receiving Party may disclose such Information to other persons, upon the
furnishing Party's prior written authorization, but solely to perform

this clause expressly authorizes the receiving Party to perform itself
and
further provided such other person agrees in writing (a copy of which
writing
will be provided to the furnishing Party at its request) to the same
conditions
respecting use of Information contained in this clause and to any other
reasonable conditions requested by the furnishing Party. These
restrictions on
the use or disclosure of Information shall not apply to any Information:
(i)
which can be proven to be or have been independently developed by the
receiving
Party or lawfully received free of restriction from another source
having the
right to so furnish such Information; or (ii) after it has become
generally
available to the public without breach of this Agreement by the
receiving Party;
or (iii) which at the time of disclosure to the receiving Party was
known to
such Party free of restriction and clearly evidenced by documentation in

this
Section 10. Each Party agrees to use its best efforts to mark or
otherwise
identify proprietary all Information they desire to be subject to the
terms of
this clause before furnishing it to the other Party. And, upon request,
a Party
shall promptly identify whether specified information must be held by
the
requesting Party subject to this clause.
10.3 Furnishing Information to Third Parties. Nothing herein shall
be
---------------------------------------
deemed to bar disclosure of Information by a receiving Party to third
parties,
with written consent of the furnishing Party, if such disclosure is
reasonably
necessary for enjoyment of the disclosing Party's rights to use
Intellectual
Property Rights licensed under this Agreement, and provided that each
such third
party agrees in writing to protect the Information under terms and
conditions
comparable, in all material respects, to the terms contained in this
Section 10
and Section 18 with respect to survivability.
