Intel/Intellon Confidential  

 

EXHIBIT A

Intellon HomePlug AV Design

Definitions

 

  1. Bug” means a failure of Intellon’s design to meet the Final HomePlug AV Specification.

 

  2. Bug Fix” means a correction of a Bug or minor additions to functionality that are required by minor updates to the HomePlug AV layer specification (e.g., “Maintenance Revisions”), or standard operation to meet market conditions, in each case which correction or addition is made by Intellon and is made commercially-available by Intellon from time to time. Bug Fixes can include changes to hardware or software.

 

A. [*****]

 

  1. Functionality. [*****]

 

  2. Future Iterations. In the event that Intellon has not transferred the Initial Design to Intel, and if Intellon elects to produce and offer as a commercial product one or more subsequent iterations of the Initial Design and the Delivery Requirements (as defined below) for such subsequent iteration have been met, Intellon shall deliver to Intel, in lieu of the Initial Design, the subsequent iteration of the Initial Design (a “Subsequent Design”). For purposes of the avoidance of doubt, Intellon shall not be obligated to include in the delivery of any Subsequent Design any additional functionality or interfaces not included in the Initial Design that do not comprise or facilitate portions of [*****]). Intellon agrees that in the event that Intellon removes such functionality from the Design, Intellon will validate that the Design functions properly without the removed circuitry.

 

  3. One Design: Bug Fixes. In the event Intel exercises the Option, Intellon shall only be obligated to deliver one Design to Intel, which Design shall be either in the form of the Initial Design or in the form of a Subsequent Design, as provided in this Exhibit. In no event shall Intellon be obligated to deliver the Design both in the form of the Initial Design and in the form of a Subsequent Design or, if Intellon does not deliver the Initial Design as permitted in the Exhibit, in the form of more than one Subsequent Design. At the time of delivery, Intellon agrees to provide to Intel all Bug Fixes (corresponding to the Design) that are relevant to the Design. After Intellon has delivered the Design to Intel, Intellon also agrees to notify Intel in writing of all Bugs (corresponding to the Design) within 5 business days of discovery by Intellon, and to make available to Intel in writing as soon as available all corresponding Bug Fixes. After Intellon has delivered the Design to Intel, Intel will notify Intellon in writing of all Bugs (corresponding to the Design) identified by Intel within 5 business days of discovery by Intel, and make available to Intellon in writing as soon as available any corresponding corrections created by Intel.

 

  4. Scope of Design. The Design contains a [HomePlug AV-compliant MAC and PHY, along with a flexible multi-media interface. The Initial Design utilizes a third party AFE IC, which consists of an ADC, DAC and support gain and filtering circuitry to create a HomePlug AV node. The AFE IC design may or may not be included in the Initial Design. Intellon’s obligation to deliver the AFE IC Design] to Intel shall be as specified in Section B(3).

[*****] Included in Design. [*****]. Intellon will deliver to Intel a list of all [*****] included in any Subsequent Design as soon as such information is available, or, if later, whenever Intel requests. Intellon cannot [*****] with, or as part of, the Design unless the owner of the [*****] provides written authorization for Intellon to do so. Intel and Intellon will cooperate in good faith to seek approval from [*****] to provide permission for Intellon to [*****]. In the event that an [*****] fails to provide such written authorization, Intellon shall have no obligation to [*****]; however, Intellon agrees to provide a detailed specification required to [*****] in order to function with the remaining portions of the Design. For the avoidance of doubt, this obligation

to provide a detailed specification does not apply to the [*****]. If Intel requests Intellon to provide engineering consulting services to aid Intel in [*****] in the Design and integrating the resulting work into Intel’s own CMOS fabrication process, Intellon will furnish such consulting services pursuant to the terms of Section 3.5.1 of the Agreement. The parties understand and agree that the [*****] included in [*****] are central to the Initial Design and may be central to any Subsequent Design and that it would not be practical for Intellon to deliver the Initial Design (and if the [*****] are central to any Subsequent Design, any Subsequent Design) without these elements. Consequently, notwithstanding the other provisions of the Agreement and this Exhibit A, Intellon will not be obligated (i) to deliver the Initial Design (and if the [*****] are central to any Subsequent Design, any Subsequent Design) to Intel unless the owner(s) of the [*****] provide written authorization for Intellon to do so, or (ii) to provide engineering consulting services to aid Intel in removing or replacing the [*****] in the Initial Design or any such Subsequent Design. Intel and Intellon will cooperate in good faith to seek approval from the owner of the [*****] to provide permission for Intellon to deliver the Initial Design to Intel. If Intel requests, Intellon agrees to use reasonable efforts to facilitate a business relationship between Intel and [*****]. Such efforts shall not require Intellon to expend any additional funds or to accept terms or delays that are unacceptable to Intellon.

 

  6. Availability of Design. The Design will be available for delivery to Intel thirty (30) days after the Intellon IC based on the Design has passed both (i) [*****] and (ii) [*****] (the “Delivery Requirements”). Intellon shall have no obligation to deliver the Design to Intel until both of the Delivery Requirements have been met. Intellon shall not unreasonably delay (i) or (ii).

 

  7. Design Deliverables. The Initial Design delivered to Intel shall include the items described in Schedule A-2, which is attached to and incorporated into this Exhibit A by reference. Any Subsequent Design delivered to Intel shall include such items in Schedule A-2 as are applicable to the Subsequent Design. In the event that the Subsequent Design uses different vendor tools or [*****] than the Initial Design, the items described in Schedule A-2 will be adjusted accordingly.

 

B. [*****]

 

  1. No Obligation to Create [*****]. Intellon shall have no obligation to create [*****] or to cause any such [*****] to meet the Delivery Requirements.

 

  2.

Creation of [*****]. At present, Intellon does not [*****], Intellon agrees to use reasonable efforts to [*****], and use reasonable efforts to [*****]. Such efforts shall not require Intellon to expend any additional funds or to accept business terms or delays that are unacceptable to Intellon. In the event Intel and Intellon are [*****], Intellon and Intel each agrees to use reasonable efforts to not enter into an agreement

[*****] Such efforts shall not require Intellon or Intel to expend any additional funds or to accept business terms or delays that are unacceptable to such party. Intellon will deliver to Intel [*****] as soon as such information is available, or, if later, whenever Intel requests.

 

  3. Delivery of [*****]. In the event Intel elects to exercise the Option with respect to the Design and at such time Intellon (i) [*****] or (ii) [*****], Intellon will provide written notice to Intel of such event and, if requested by Intel in writing, will make such [*****] if and when it has passed the Delivery Requirements, available to Intel as part of the Design. Intellon will furnish consulting services pursuant to the terms of Section 3.5.1 of the Agreement. At the time of delivery, Intellon agrees to provide to Intel all Bug Fixes (corresponding to the [*****]) that are relevant to the [*****]. After Intellon has delivered the [*****] to Intel, Intellon also agrees to notify Intel in writing of all Bugs (corresponding to the [*****]) within 5 business days of discovery by Intellon, and to make available to Intel in writing as soon as available all corresponding Bug Fixes. After Intellon has delivered the [*****] to Intel, Intel will notify Intellon in writing of all Bugs (corresponding to the [*****]) identified by Intel within 5 business days of discovery by Intel, and make available to Intellon in writing as soon as available any corresponding corrections created by Intel.

 

  4. Delivery of [*****]. The restrictions and conditions on the delivery of [*****] set forth in Section A.5 of this Exhibit A also apply to the [*****]. In the event the [*****] that, in the reasonable judgment of Intellon, they cannot be removed or replaced without substantially redesigning the [*****], then Intellon shall have no obligation to (i) deliver the [*****] to Intel unless the [*****] provide written authorization for Intellon to do so, or (ii) to provide engineering consulting services to aid Intel in removing or replacing such [*****]; however, Intellon agrees to provide a detailed specification required to replace the [*****] in order to function with the remaining portions of the [*****].

 

  5. One [*****]. Intellon shall not have any obligation to deliver more than one [*****] to Intel.

 

  6. [*****] Specification. Intellon shall provide to Intel a detailed specification for [the AFE] that is needed to work properly with Intellon’s design as specified in Schedule A-2 to this Exhibit A. Intellon agrees to provide to Intel consulting services to help Intel understand the interface between the [*****]. Intellon will furnish such consulting services pursuant to the terms of Section 3.5.1 of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing Logo Change Deadline, following the Logo Change Deadline Intellon shall be permitted to continue limited use of the Intellon logo only as follows: (1) use, for a period of [*****] following the Logo Change Deadline, of its inventory of printed sales and product collateral materials, including printed folders and promotional items (such as shirts, cups, coasters, USB drives, pens), which are existing or on order as of the Logo Change Deadline; (2) use, for a period of [*****] following the Logo Change Deadline, of (a) any video content used for product testing and demonstration purposes, which is existing or on order as of the Logo Change Deadline, (b) product prototypes and demonstration devices existing or in production as of the Logo Change Deadline, and (c) product inventory not specifically included in the later phase-out periods in Sections (I)(C)(3) and (I)(C)(4)below (such as production test systems, evaluation kits, and reference design samples), existing or in production as of the Logo Change Deadline; (3) use and sale, for a period of [*****] following the Logo Change Deadline, of HomePlug and PowerPacket integrated circuit inventory assembled prior to the Logo Change Deadline, as long as Intellon makes best efforts to exhaust such inventory as early as reasonably possible; and (4) use and sale, for a period of [*****] following the Logo Change Deadline, of Spread Spectrum Communications (SCC) integrated circuit inventory assembled prior to the Logo Change Deadline, as long as Intellon makes best efforts to exhaust such inventory as early as reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the above, as long as Intellon has made best efforts as required in Sections 1(C)(3) and I(C)(4) above, Intellon shall not be in breach of this Agreement if no more than [*****] under Section (I)(C)(3), and [*****] under Section (I)(C)(4), remain and are sold after the deadlines set forth in Sections (I)(C)(3) and (I)(C)(4), respectively.

To obtain Intel’s preapproval of proposed changes to the INTELLON logo and design marks, Intellon must send notice, according to the provisions set forth in Section III.M. below, of its proposed revisions, and receive written confirmation from Intel of receipt in accordance with the terms set forth in Section III.M. To preapprove or disapprove the proposed changes to the INTELLON logo and design marks, Intel must send notice, according to the provisions set forth in

Intel/Intellon Confidential  

 

Section III.M below of its preapproval or disapproval of the proposed changes to the INTELLON logo and design marks. Thereafter, in the event Intel fails to send notice to Intellon of Intel’s preapproval or disapproval of any changes to the INTELLON logo and design marks proposed by Intellon in accordance with the terms set forth in Section III.M within fourteen (14) days after Intellon submits such design mark or logo to Intel for approval, Intel shall have an additional seven (7) day grace period (the “Grace Period”) to send notice of its preapproval or disapproval of the proposed changes to the INTELLON logo and design marks proposed by Intellon in accordance with the terms set forth in Section III.M. If Intel fails to send notice of its approval or disapproval of the changes to the INTELLON logo and design marks within the Grace Period in accordance with the provisions of Section III.M, the changes to the INTELLON logo and design marks proposed by Intellon shall be deemed preapproved. In the event Intel disapproves any proposed changes to the INTELLON logo or design mark submitted by Intellon for approval by Intel pursuant to this Section I.C, the notice of disapproval shall describe the specific reason for disapproval. In the event Intel sends notice(s) of disapproval of the changes to the INTELLON logo and design marks in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section III.M, such that Intel has not preapproved or been deemed to have preapproved a change to the INTELLON logo and design marks at least sixty (60) days prior to Logo Change Deadline, the Logo Change Deadline shall be extended to the date that is sixty (60) days after the date on which such preapproval or deemed preapproval has been obtained. In the event that Intellon has not submitted a logo/design mark change acceptable to Intel by the Logo Change Deadline, and Intel determines in its reasonable discretion that the cause of this delay is a lack of good faith on the part of Intellon to fulfill the requirements of this Agreement, then the provision from the Technology Collaboration and License Agreement (Section 2.1) requiring that Intel provide reasonable assistance to Intellon in the marketing and sale of certain Intellon HomePlug products shall be contingent on Intellon’s logo change as required herein such that Intel reserves the right to suspend this marketing assistance obligation until Intellon has obtained Intel’s preapproval on the new logo/design mark as required in this Agreement.

Intel expressly agrees that the following marks are acceptable as a name, trade name, trademark and service mark and do not require preapproval from Intel, in order of Intel’s preference: [*****], as long as the stylization conforms with the requirements set forth above.

D. [*****], except as otherwise expressly set forth below. For purposes of this Agreement, use includes but is not limited to use of INTELLON as a trade name, as a company name, in a logo or slogan, on web sites, in correspondence, on letterhead, business cards, and promotional and marketing materials, and on signage. [*****].

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that Intellon may adopt marks that incorporate the following words/terms so long as these marks do not emphasize, highlight, set apart, or distinguish in any way the letter string INTEL or INTELL as a whole from the remainder of the mark, or use an E subscripted in relation to the other letters: [*****] Intel shall give notice of preapproval or disapproval of such marks in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section I.C. for preapproval of logos and design marks. In the event Intel sends notice(s) of disapproval of such marks in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section III.M, such that Intel has not preapproved a mark

at least six (6) months prior to the [*****], the [*****] shall be extended to the date that is six (6) months after the date on which such preapproval or deemed preapproval has been obtained. In the event that Intellon has not submitted [*****], and Intel determines in its reasonable discretion that the cause of this delay is a lack of good faith on the part of Intellon to fulfill the requirements of this Agreement, then the provision from the Technology Collaboration and License Agreement (Section 2.1) requiring that Intel provide reasonable assistance to Intellon in the marketing and sale of certain Intellon HomePlug products shall be contingent on Intellon’s [*****] as required herein such that Intel reserves the right to suspend this marketing assistance obligation until Intellon has obtained Intel’s preapproval on the [*****] as required in this Agreement.

Intel expressly agrees that the following words are acceptable as a name, trade name, trademark and service mark and do not require preapproval from Intel, in order of Intel’s preference: [*****], as long as the stylization conforms with the requirements set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing [*****], following the [*****] Intellon shall be permitted to continue limited use of the [*****] only as follows: (1) use, for a period of [*****] following the [*****], of its inventory of printed sales and product collateral materials, including printed folders and promotional items (such as shirts, cups, coasters, USB drives, pens), which are existing or on order as of the [*****]; (2) use, for a period of [*****] following the [*****], of (a) any video content used for product testing and demonstration purposes, which is existing or on order as of the [*****], (b) product prototypes and demonstration devices existing or in production as of the [*****], and (c) product inventory not specifically included in the later phase-out periods in Sections (I)(D)(3) and (I)(D)(4) below (such as production test systems, evaluation kits, and reference design samples), existing or in production as of the [*****]; (3) use and sale, for a period of [*****] following the [*****], of HomePlug and PowerPacket integrated circuit inventory assembled prior to the [*****], as long as Intellon makes best efforts to exhaust such inventory as early as reasonably possible; and (4) use and sale, for a period of [*****] following the [*****], of Spread Spectrum Communications (SCC) integrated circuit inventory assembled prior to the [*****], as long as Intellon makes best efforts to exhaust such inventory as early as reasonably possible.
