(ii) If the Spin Off Entity itself had total revenues in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the spin off, or is owned or controlled by an Entity that had total revenues attributable to sales or licensing of software, computer technology and/or information technology and related services in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the spin off, equal to or exceeding one billion U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000,000) but less than three billion U.S. dollars (US$3,000,000,000), then the licenses and the covenant not to sue granted to the Spin Off Entity shall automatically become subject to the same limitations set forth in the preceding clause (i), except that the applicable percentages shall be twenty-five percent (25%) rather than fifteen percent (15%).

6.2 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, unenforceable or void by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding initiated by a third party, the remainder of this Agreement shall be interpreted to the extent possible to effect the overall intention of the Parties at the Effective Date.

Settlement Agreement


6.11 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld, except that a Party may assign this Agreement without the other Party’s written consent and subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 in connection with a Change of Control of such Party, and the license rights granted in Section 2.1 or 2.2 above and the covenant not to sue in Section 2.3, as the case may be, shall continue to apply to the Entity surviving such Change of Control (the “Surviving Entity”) and its Affiliates, and as the case may be, its Authorized Developers, Customers and Vendors, but only with respect to (i) those SAP Licensed Products or i2 Licensed Products, as the case may be, actually distributed or generally available to Customers prior to the date such Change of Control is consummated (“Surviving Entity Licensed Products”) and (ii) any future versions of Surviving Entity Licensed Products, but only with respect to those portions of such future versions that use or embody features, functionality, and/or technology used or embodied in the Surviving Entity Licensed Products prior to the date such Change of Control is consummated. Features, functionality and/or technology beyond that used or embodied in the Surviving Entity Licensed Products prior to the date such Change of Control is consummated will not be licensed or within the covenant not to sue, as the case may be, in such future versions, and new products or services of the Surviving Entity will not be licensed or subject to the covenant not to sue. In addition, in the event of such an assignment, the licenses and the covenant not to sue granted to the Surviving Entity shall be subject to the following limitations in the following two circumstances:

(a) If the Surviving Entity itself had total revenues in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Change of Control, or is owned or controlled by an Entity that had total revenues attributable to sales or licensing of software, computer technology and/or information technology and related services in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Change of Control, equal to or exceeding three billion U.S. dollars (US$3,000,000,000), then the licenses and the covenant not to sue granted to the Surviving Entity shall automatically become limited in the twelve (12) months immediately following such Change of Control to the lesser of (i) a fifteen percent (15%) increase in total volume of each Surviving Entity Licensed Product sold or licensed by the Surviving Entity and its Affiliates over that sold by such Party and its Affiliates before the Change of Control and (ii) a volume of each Surviving Entity Licensed Product sold or licensed by the Surviving Entity and its Affiliates that generate revenue to such Surviving Entity and its Affiliates equal to no more than the revenue generated to such Party and its Affiliates by such Surviving Entity Licensed Product in the twelve (12) months preceding such Change of Control plus fifteen percent (15%); and shall be limited, in each of the successive twelve-month periods following such Change of Control, to the lesser of (i) the total volume of each Surviving Entity Licensed Product sold or licensed by the Surviving Entity and its Affiliates in the immediately preceding twelve-month period plus fifteen percent (15%) and (ii) a volume of each Surviving Entity Licensed Product that generates revenue to such Surviving Entity and its Affiliates equal to no more than the total amount of revenue generated to such Surviving Entity and its Affiliates by such Surviving Entity Licensed Product during the immediately preceding twelve-month period plus fifteen percent (15%); and

(b) If the Surviving Entity itself had total revenues in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Change of Control, or is owned or controlled by an Entity that had total revenues attributable to sales or licensing of software, computer technology and/or information technology and related services in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Change of Control, equal to or exceeding one billion U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000,000) but less than three billion U.S. dollars (US$3,000,000,000), then the licenses and the covenant not to sue granted to the Surviving Entity shall automatically become subject to the same limitations set forth in the preceding clause (a), except that the applicable percentages shall be twenty-five percent (25%) rather than fifteen percent (15%).

(c) The provisions and limitations of this Section 6.11 shall apply to any subsequent assignments by any Surviving Entity that may undergo a Change of Control.

(d) Each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Party of any assignment made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.11. Any attempted or purported assignment or delegation by a Party in violation of this Section 6.11 or Section 2.6 shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. For the avoidance of doubt, the licenses granted herein shall run with the Licensed Patents irrespective of future transfers, assignments, or licenses of such Licensed Patents. Nothing in this provision shall restrict or prevent a Party from transferring, assigning or licensing any of its Licensed Patents without prior written notice or consent of the other Party, but subject to the rights and licenses granted hereunder. Each Party agrees, however, to provide the other Party with notice of any transfer or assignment of any Licensed Patent.

Settlement Agreement


6.12 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to or application of choice of law rules or principles.

6.13 Cumulation. All rights and remedies enumerated in this Agreement will be cumulative and none will exclude any other right or remedy permitted herein or by law.

6.14 Representation by Counsel. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be language chosen by all Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction against any Party shall be applied to any term or provision hereof.

6.15 Captions. The captions to the sections or subsections of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the Parties, are not a part of this Agreement, and shall not be used for the interpretation of, or determination of the validity of, this Agreement or any provision hereof.

6.16 Bankruptcy. Each Party acknowledges that all rights and licenses granted by it under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Party acknowledges that if it, as a debtor in possession or a trustee-in-bankruptcy in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, rejects this Agreement, the other Party may elect to retain its license rights under this Agreement as provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Party irrevocably waives all arguments and defenses arising under 11 U.S.C. 365(c)(1) or successor provisions to the effect that applicable law excuses the Party, other than the debtor, from accepting performance from or rendering performance to an entity other than the debtor or debtor in possession as a basis for opposing assumption of the Agreement by the other Party in a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that such consent is required under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or any successor statute. Any Change of Control resulting from any such bankruptcy proceeding shall remain subject to Section 6.11 above

6.17 Dispute Resolution. The Parties will attempt to resolve by mediation using Hesha Abrams, if reasonably available, any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement within thirty (30) days of one Party giving notice of the dispute or claim to the other Party. In the event such dispute or claim cannot be resolved within such thirty (30) days, then either Party may serve the other Party with a notice of arbitration, and in such event, the dispute or claim will be submitted to binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) then in force and the Federal Arbitration Act. The terms of this Agreement shall control in the event of any inconsistency between it and the AAA rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who shall have substantial experience in patent law and who shall apply Delaware law and applicable federal law to the dispute or claim. The arbitrator will be selected by mutual agreement of the

 

Page 20

Settlement Agreement


Parties, and in the event the Parties are unable to agree within thirty (30) days of one Party’s notification of their intention to initiate arbitration, then each Party shall nominate a person unaffiliated with the Party to select the arbitrator, and the two nominees shall then mutually select the arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The statute of limitations and doctrines of laches, estoppel and the like which would apply to a lawsuit will apply in arbitration, and invocation of arbitration will be equivalent to beginning a lawsuit for this purpose. The prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding, as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and costs for the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator and the arbitration fees of the AAA, from the other Party. This dispute resolution provision is applicable only to the Parties and their Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, and does not apply to other Entities.

In the event of a change of control transaction, rights granted in the Agreement shall continue to apply to the Entity surviving the change of control (the “Surviving Entity”) for those products actually distributed or generally available to customers prior to the date such change of control is consummated. If the Surviving Entity itself has total annual revenues immediately before the change of control equal to or exceeding three billion U.S. dollars (US$3,000,000,000), then the rights shall automatically become limited to cover fifteen percent (15%) annual growth. If the Surviving Entity itself has total annual revenues immediately before the change of control between one and three billion U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000,000 to US$3,000,000,000), then the rights shall automatically become limited to cover twenty-five percent (25%) annual growth.

Exhibit E

Additional Amount to be Paid to i2

The Additional Amount to be paid to i2 shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure. The Parties shall submit to the judge in the Texas Action the list of 12 questions (the “Construction Questions”) set forth below relating to construction of 12 claim terms of the patents at issue in the Texas Action, the proper construction of which is in dispute and that have been the subject of full Markman briefings and a Markman hearing in the Texas Action. Eleven of the questions request the judge to determine whether i2’s proposed construction or SAP’s proposed construction is more correct, and one question asks the judge to determine whether a claim term is indefinite (the “Indefiniteness Question”), all of which the judge shall be asked to do based upon the Markman briefings previously submitted by the Parties and the Markman hearing. After the judge has answered all 12 Construction Questions, the Additional Amount shall be determined as follows:

1. For each Construction Question that the judge answers that i2’s proposed construction is more correct, the Additional Amount shall be increased by US$4,166,666.67.

2. For each Construction Question that the judge answers that SAP’s proposed construction is more correct, the Additional Amount shall be increased by zero.

3. If the judge answers the Indefiniteness Question “no,” then the Additional Amount shall be increased by US$4,166,666.67.

4. If the judge answers the Indefiniteness Question “yes,” then the Additional Amount shall be increased by zero.

The Construction Questions are set forth on the following Mediation Resolution Form:
