WHEREAS, Lucent is the owner of certain right, title and interest in and to the Software Product as defined in Exhibit A; and B.

ARTICLE II ASSIGNMENT AND LICENSES OF SOFTWARE 2.01 Assignment of Software Product. Subject to receipt of the first payment ------------------------------- set forth in Section 4.01 and to the licenses granted to Lucent, Lucent hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to Buyer all of Lucent's present worldwide right, title and interest in and to (i) the Software Product, including all copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights (other than patent rights which are specifically set forth in Article III) which are specific thereto; and (ii) if any, the name and mark "S" to the extent protectible as a trademark or service mark (the "Mark"), together with all associated goodwill. The transfer and assignment of the Software Product and the Mark shall be subject to all Prior Lucent Agreements. Upon request of Buyer, Lucent agrees to execute an assignment of copyright and/or of trademark, which assignment(s) shall reflect the terms and conditions herein. Buyer agrees not to assert any claim or bring any suit or proceeding against any third party based on Buyer's intellectual property rights in or ownership of Software Product relating to use by such third party of any software, documentation or other material contributed by Lucent, its Subsidiaries or any of its employees to the R or Omegahat Projects prior to January 1, 2004. 2.02 License to Assigned Software. In partial consideration for the transfer ----------------------------- and assignment of the Software Product by Lucent to Buyer, Buyer grants to Lucent a personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable (except as provided in Article VII), irrevocable (except as provided in Article VI), worldwide, fully paid-up license to use, copy, perform or display the Software Product for internal use and create, use, copy, perform or display derivative works (as defined by U.S. copyright law) from the Software Product for internal use. 2.03 Additional Rights. In addition to the foregoing license to Lucent in ------------------ Section 2.02, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement or a violation of any intellectual property right of Buyer if Lucent (including its employees, agents, Subsidiaries and contractors), without copying any portion of Software Product, develops software, which is (i) similar to Software Product, (ii) based on information or descriptions that are either (A) available in the public domain or (B) to which Lucent has rights other than through this Agreement, (iii) provides similar or identical functionality as Software Product, (iv) written in the S language and/or (v) has a similar or identical application program interface as the Software Product. Subject to the restriction of Section 2.02 that the Software Product may only be used internally, Lucent shall not be restricted in any way from licensing, selling, developing or exploiting any such software. 2.04 Furnishing of Software Product. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) -------------------------------- it is already in possession of the Software Product and (ii) Lucent shall have no obligations to furnish or deliver Software Product or any portions thereof. ARTICLE III PATENT LICENSES 3.01 Licensed Patents. Subject to the receipt of the first payment specified ----------------- in Section 4.01, Lucent hereby grants to Buyer a personal, fully paid-up, worldwide, non-transferable (except as provided in Article VII), irrevocable (except as provided in Article VI), and nonexclusive license under the Licensed Patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, lease and import Licensed Products. The licenses in this Section include the right convey to any customer of the Buyer, with respect to any Licensed Product which is sold or leased by Buyer to such customer, rights to use and resell such Licensed Products as sold or leased by Buyer (whether or not as part of a larger combination). This license shall not be construed as a right to convey any rights under any patents other than Licensed Patents to customers with respect to any invention which is directed to (1) a combination of such Licensed Product (as sold or leased) with any other product regardless of whether such other product is hardware, software or another Licensed Product, (2) a method or process which is other than the inherent use of such 2 Licensed Product itself (as sold or leased), or (3) any other product manufactured (including associated testing) by or through the use of the Licensed Product. 3.02 No Indirect Infringement License. Licenses granted herein to Buyer are ---------------------------------- not to be construed: (i) as consent by grantor to any act which may be performed by the grantee, except to the extent impacted by a patent licensed herein to the grantee or (ii) to include licenses to contributorily infringe any patent other than a Licensed Patent or induce infringement under U.S. law or a foreign equivalent thereof. 3.03 Term. The patent licenses granted herein under any patent shall ---- continue, unless otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement, for the entire unexpired term of such patent, but if, upon commencement of the Effective Date, the grantor has no rights, or less than full rights, with respect to any of its patents included within the definitions hereunder, the license granted herein under such patent shall be for as much of such term as, and to the maximum extent that, the grantor has the right to grant. 3.04 No Sham. The "have made" rights granted hereunder to a Party shall not -------- be exercised in a manner that the exercise of such have made rights is a sham to sublicense the other Party's patents licensed hereunder to a third party and not for bona fide business purposes of such Party. ARTICLE IV PAYMENT 4.01 Payments. In consideration for the assignment and licenses hereunder by -------- Lucent to Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Lucent a sum of two million U.S. dollars (U.S. $2,000,000.00) at the address specified in Section 4.05.

No refund, credit or other adjustment of payments hereunder ---------- shall be made by Lucent.

Overdue payments hereunder shall be subject to a late ----------------- payment charge calculated at an annual rate of three percentage points (3%) over the prime rate or successive prime rates (as posted in New York City by leading United States banks) during delinquency.

If Buyer fails to make a payment called for in Article ---------------- IV, to the extent that any such failure is not attributable to any failure on the part of the Seller to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Seller upon its election and in addition to any other remedies that it may have, may at any time terminate the licenses (or any part thereof) granted under this Agreement by not less than two (2) months written notice to the Buyer, unless within the period of such notice such payment has been made or Buyer is contesting in good faith its obligation to make such payment. 6.03 Survival.
