4. LIMITED EXCLUSIVITY.

 

  4.1

Exclusive Term. The Exclusive Term will commence on the Effective Date and continue through [*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as provided below, Anoto, by written notice to LFIRC, may convert LFIRC’s exclusive rights under Section 2 in the Exclusive Field to nonexclusive rights if LFIRC, directly or through its Group Companies, does not commercially introduce and market prior to [*], one or more LeapFrog Products that, individually or collectively, include all of the following features: (1) pre-loaded content or physically exchangeable content cartridges, and (2) supporting the capability to download content via physical attachment; and (3) wireless connection to a content source; unless the primary cause for such failure to launch such LeapFrog Products is a material delay or failure by Anoto to perform its a material obligation under this

 

21.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

Agreement or a material failure of a material Anoto deliverable. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

  (a) Anoto will not be entitled to exercise such rights if (i) LFIRC gives Anoto written notice in response to Anoto’s notice of proposed termination that it will launch the Licensed Product on or before [*]; and (ii) the Licensed Product is actually launched on or before [*]

 

  (b) If (i) LeapFrog has commercially introduced one or more LeapFrog Products as per the dates defined in Section 4.1 above as required under clauses (1) and (2) above but has not by that time introduced a LeapFrog Product that includes a [*] as required by clause (3) above; and (ii) the Parties have not agreed on an extension of LFIRC’s license in accordance with Section 2.5; then LFIRC’s exclusive rights under Section 2 will remain in effect (notwithstanding the provisions in this Section to the contrary), but clause (iii) of the definition of Exclusive Field will, after [*], be deemed amended by deleting [*] therefrom and thereafter Anoto may license others to distribute for Learning Applications sound-enabled Stand-Alone (Self-Contained) Devices that [*].

 

  4.2 Market Exception Requests. Notwithstanding the grants of exclusive rights to LFIRC in Section 2, Anoto may practice within the Exclusive Field under circumstances specified below:

 

  (a) LFIRC will notify Anoto on or before [*] of the individual markets identified on Schedule L (the “Individual Markets”) within the Exclusive Markets in which it will cause to be launched a LeapFrog Product during the following year (the “Launch Year” for such Individual Markets) as follows: (i) the United States and one (1) additional Individual Market for Launch Year [*]; (ii) two (2) Individual Markets for Launch Year [*]; and (iii) three (3) Individual Markets for Launch Year [*]. If LFIRC does not notify Anoto of the requisite number of Individual Markets by the applicable notification date, then the Individual Markets for the next Launch Year will be the first Individual Markets not previously selected by LFIRC, based on the order in which they appear on Schedule L.

 

  (b)

If LF Enterprises or LFIRC directly, or indirectly through its distributors, fails to launch a LeapFrog Product within an Individual Market before the end of the applicable Launch Year, then that Individual Market will no longer constitute part of the Exclusive Markets for purposes of this Section 4 if: (i) Anoto has a bona-fide partner opportunity to commercialize a product within the Exclusive Field (that may, at Anoto’s discretion, incorporate the Joint Platform) within such Individual Market, and Anoto notifies LFIRC thereof in writing by the end of the applicable Launch Year; and (ii) the Parties have discussed in good faith the risk and likely commercialization of such opportunity (provided, however, that the decision to pursue such opportunity will remain in Anoto’s discretion).

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the United States is not subject to removal from the Exclusive Markets, and (y) LeapFrog will not lose exclusivity as a result of any failure to launch a LeapFrog Product with an Individual Market if such failure was due to the failure of a deliverable or performance of Anoto. Subject to Section 2.13 and 4.3, notwithstanding the removal of an Individual Market from the Exclusive Markets, LeapFrog may continue to exercise its license rights under this Agreement on non-exclusive basis in such Individual Market.

 

  (c) From time to time during the Exclusive Term, if Anoto has a bona-fide partner opportunity to commercialize a product within the Exclusive Field in one or more Individual Markets (that may, at Anoto’s discretion incorporate the Joint Platform), Anoto will submit a written request (including all relevant details with respect to such opportunity that Anoto is permitted to disclose consistent with its confidentiality obligations to such partner) to LFIRC for approval to pursue such opportunity. LFIRC will approve or reject such request within fourteen (14) days after its receipt of such request; provided, however, that LFIRC may reject such request in its good-faith discretion if: (i) LFIRC and/or LF Enterprises is otherwise in compliance with the launch requirements described in Section 4.2(a) above with respect to the market identified in Anoto’s opportunity request; and (ii) the Parties have discussed in good faith the risk and likelihood of commercialization of such opportunity. If LFIRC approves such request in writing, the Exclusive Field will not apply solely within the applicable Individual Market and only to the extent of the ‘partner opportunity approved by LFIRC. Further, the Parties acknowledge that when deciding whether or not to approve an Anoto request the following considerations will be taken into account: (x) the objective of the Parties to cooperate to create a broad de facto standard for the Licensed Anoto Technology and Licensed LeapFrog Technology via the Joint Platform, and (y) the risk of forcing a competing platform; and (z) the risk of reduced overall business for LFIRC and its Group Companies.

 

  4.3

Permitted Field Exception. If, at any time after [*], Anoto proposes to grant to a third party an exclusive license (even as to LFIRC) under Licensed Anoto Technology and/or Licensed Anoto IP in the Permitted Field, but outside the Exclusive Field during the Exclusive Term, Anoto shall first provide LFIRC with a written notice of such proposal which identifies the specific target market for which Anoto proposes to grant an exclusive license. Unless, within ninety (90) days after receipt Anoto’s written notice, LFIRC discloses to Anoto specific plans LFIRC has to exploit that target market and commits in writing to commercialize products in that target market within [*] months after receipt of Anoto’s notice, Anoto may grant the proposed exclusive license (even as to LFIRC and its Group Companies) to the third party for the target market for a period not to exceed three (3) years. Anoto may provide such third party with the option to extend the

exclusive license period for additional three-year periods, each such extension being subject to LFIRC’s approval pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.3.

 

5. DEVELOPMENT, DELIVERABLES AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PROCEDURES.

 

  5.1 Engineering Milestone Schedule. The initial engineering milestone schedule is set forth in the Statement of Work and identified as the “Engineering Milestone Schedule”. Each of the Parties will use best commercial efforts to produce the deliverables that it is required to provide under the Statement of Work in accordance with the Engineering Milestone Schedule and agreed upon specifications and criteria contained in the Statement of Work. The Parties each acknowledge that time is of the essence and strict adherence to the Engineering Milestone Schedule is necessary to meet the production start date identified in the Engineering Milestone Schedule (“Production Start Date”), which is the date of commencement of full-scale commercial production and manufacturing of the Licensed Products for the United States Fall/Holiday retail shipping season for 2005.

 

  5.2 Statements of Work. Additional and more detailed specifications and terms with respect to development of the Licensed Product (i.e., division of roles and responsibilities, project schedule, time plan, deliverables, milestones and cost allocation) are set forth in the Statement of Work, which will be deemed part of, and governed by the terms of this Agreement. Each Party will use best commercial efforts to perform its obligations under the Statement of Work to achieve each defined milestone and to deliver specified deliverables that satisfy the applicable specifications and schedules set forth in the Statement of Work. The Parties may agree to modify or supplement the Statement of Work, and any such modification or supplement will be in writing, executed by both parties and attached to this Agreement as an addendum to the Statement of Work.

 

  5.3 Acceptance of Deliverables.

 

  (a) As soon as a Party that is obligated to provide a deliverable under this Agreement, including under the Statement of Work, (an “Obligated Party”) believes it has completed a deliverable for which it is responsible under the Statement of Work (and that such deliverable meets all applicable agreed-upon specifications and acceptance criteria), the Obligated Party will provide such deliverable to the other Party (a “Recipient Party”) for acceptance testing and evaluation, together with a qualification report, if appropriate, documenting that the deliverable meets the agreed upon specifications and acceptance criteria. The Recipient Party will then, within seven (7) days after receipt of such deliverable and the corresponding qualification report (the “Acceptance Period”) test, evaluate and determine whether the deliverable and qualification results meet the agreed-upon specifications and acceptance criteria set forth in the Statement of Work.

 

24.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


  (b) With respect to any deliverable provided hereunder, a Recipient Party will: (i) issue a written notice of acceptance (an “Acceptance Notice”); (ii) issue a written notice of rejection that includes a detailed description of the non-conformance, acceptance criteria not fulfilled and/or other reasons why the deliverable is not reasonably acceptable to such Recipient Party (a “Rejection Notice”); or (iii) issue a written notice that additional time is needed for evaluation in which case the Acceptance Period will be prolonged accordingly (an “Extension Notice”). An Extension Notice may not seek a period of extension for rejection or acceptance greater than ten (10) days past the original Acceptance Period, unless agreed to in writing by the Obligated Party. If the Recipient Party issues an Extension Notice or fails to respond by the end of the Acceptance Period, the schedule for any other deliverables that are dependent upon the timely acceptance of the first deliverable will be delayed, on a day-by-day basis, to reflect the actual delay in acceptance for the first deliverable.

 

  (c) No deliverable will be deemed accepted by a Recipient Party unless and until it issues an Acceptance Notice, except as set forth in this Section 5.3(c). If a Recipient Party has not issued an Acceptance Notice prior to the expiration of the Acceptance Period, the applicable deliverable will be deemed rejected; provided that if the Obligated Party has not received an Acceptance Notice, Rejection Notice or Extension Notice on or before the date of expiration of the Acceptance Period, then the Obligated Party may deliver to the Recipient Party a notice of default acceptance (a “Default Acceptance Notice”) which will result in such deliverable being accepted by default five (5) days after receipt of the Default Acceptance Notice by the Recipient Party (the “Default Acceptance Date”), unless the Recipient Party delivers to the Obligated Party a Rejection Notice or Acceptance Notice or an Extension Notice on or before the Default Acceptance Date. Upon acceptance of a deliverable, whether by default pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) or by an Acceptance Notice pursuant to Section 5.3(b), any applicable payments for completion of such deliverable will be due and payable by the Recipient Party; provided, however, that LeapFrog may elect to take delivery of an Interim DotPos ASIC in accordance with Section 5.7(a)(ii) without being deemed to have accepted the DotPos ASIC or relieving Anoto of its obligations to correct the Interim DotPos ASIC under Section 5.3(d). If no Rejection Notice has been provided, the Recipient Party will not be entitled to invoke a Level One or a Level Two Event, as defined below.

 

  (d)

If a Recipient Party issues a Rejection Notice for or, pursuant to Section 5.3, is deemed to have rejected, any deliverable due to non-conformance of the agreed upon specification and acceptance criteria, the Obligated Party will, at no additional charge, use best commercial efforts to implement all necessary corrective actions with respect to the applicable deliverable(s) as soon as practicable (so as not to materially impact the

overall Engineering Milestone Schedule, and more specifically, the Production Start Date) to deliver promptly a schedule for resubmission, and to resubmit such deliverable for acceptance testing in accordance with this Section 5. If the Obligated Party (i) does not resubmit to the Recipient Party the deliverable that meets the agreed-upon specifications and acceptance criteria within seventeen (17) days from receipt of an Rejection Notice, or (ii) submits a revised schedule for correction of the rejected deliverable that projects an overall delay of the Engineering Milestone Schedule or the Production Start Date of greater than seventeen (17) days, or (iii) fails to submit a revised schedule for correction of the rejected deliverable at all, then the Recipient Party may, at its option, invoke a Level One Event (as defined in Section 5.6(a)), unless the reason for the Obligated Party’s non-conformance is the Recipient Party’s material failure to perform an obligation expressly defined in the Statement of Work the performance of which was necessary for the Obligated Party’s completion of the deliverable.

 

  (e) If the Obligated Party (i) does not resubmit to the Recipient Party the deliverable that meets the agreed-upon specifications and acceptance criteria within forty-five (45) days from receipt of an Rejection Notice, or (ii) submits a revised schedule for correction of the rejected deliverable that projects an overall delay of the Engineering Milestone Schedule or the Production Start Date of greater than forty-five (45) days, or (iii) fails to submit a revised schedule for correction of the rejected deliverable at all, then the Recipient Party may, at its option, invoke a Level Two Event (as defined in Section 5.6(c), unless the reason for the Obligated Party’s non-conformance is the Recipient Party’s material failure to perform an obligation expressly defined in the Statement of Work the performance of which was necessary for the Obligated Party’s completion of the deliverable.

 

  (f) In addition to the terms of Section 18.3, any notice permitted or required by Section 5.3 may be sent by e-mail to e-mail addresses designated in writing by the Party receiving such notices.

 

  5.4 Development Changes.

 

  (a)

If a Party wishes to change a Statement of Work (or any of the specifications set forth therein), such Party will provide the other Party notice of such desired change (a “Change Request”) and the Parties will discuss in good faith the ramifications of such Change Request on the overall development schedule and any resulting adjustment in NRE Fees to be charged as a result of such Change Request. No Change Request will be made to the Engineering Milestone Schedule or otherwise to the Statement of Work unless mutually agreed upon by each of the Parties. The Parties will use best commercial efforts to respond to a Change Request as soon as commercially practicable, but not later than ten (10)

days after receipt of the Change Request. Notwithstanding the submission of any Change Request, unless otherwise specifically directed by the Recipient Party, the Obligated Party will continue its activities in accordance with the then-current Statement of Work unless and until each Party agrees to the Change Request.

 

  (b) In the event of a delay of any task as defined in a Statement of Work, an Obligated Party will, within seven (7) calendar days after the Obligated Party knows or reasonably anticipates such delay, or within two (2) days of missing a delivery or milestone date, notify the Relationship Manager of the Recipient Party, in writing, and provide the following information: (i) a description of the delay, including the impacted deliverables and actual or anticipated duration of the delay; (ii) an analysis of the impact and consequences of the delay on each Party’s deliverables, based on the current project schedule as maintained by the Parties; (iii) the root cause of the delay (or indication of the root cause); and (iv) a schedule recovery plan, including the impact, if any, on the Production Start Date.

 

  5.5 Development Compensation. In consideration of Anoto’s performance of its obligations under the Statement of Work, LFIRC will pay Anoto the NRE Fee of [*] in installments in accordance with Section 5.2 of Schedule G. Any further development work performed by a Party for the other beyond that which is specified in the Statement of Work will be subject to an additional non-recurring engineering fee (“Additional NRE Fee”) calculated at a rate of USD [*] per person-hour, or such other flat fee or other arrangement upon which the Parties may mutually agree; provided that work authorization has been approved in writing by the Recipient Party. Such Additional NRE Fee will be invoiced monthly in arrears and each such invoice will be submitted together with a detailed written record and supporting documents of the work performed approved and countersigned by the Relationship Manager for the Party to whom such invoice is submitted.

 

  5.6 Corrective Action Procedures.

 

  (a)

Level One Event. A Recipient Party will, at no additional cost to such Recipient Party, be entitled to exercise Level One Remedies set forth below if: (i) an Obligated Party fails to perform one of its milestone or development obligations (and the reason for such failure is not the Recipient Party’s material failure to perform an obligation expressly defined in the Statement of Work the performance of which was necessary for the Obligated Party’s completion of its milestone or development obligation) in accordance with the Engineering Milestone Schedule, which failure remains uncured for seventeen (17) days; (ii) an Obligated Party’s deliverables are not accepted by the Recipient Party due to nonconformance to the agreed-upon specifications and acceptance criteria and the Obligated Party is unable to correct or otherwise modify the unaccepted deliverable within seventeen (17) days from receipt by the

Obligated Party of the Rejection Notice (and the reason for such failure is not the Recipient Party’s material failure to perform an obligation expressly defined in the Statement of Work the performance of which was necessary for the Obligated Party’s completion of the pertinent deliverable); (iii) the Recipient Party can reasonably demonstrate that the Production Start Date will be delayed by seventeen (17) or more days as a result of the failure to provide a deliverable (and the reason for such failure is not the Recipient Party’s material failure to perform an obligation expressly defined in the Statement of Work the performance of which was necessary for the Obligated Party’s completion of the pertinent deliverable); or (iv) as otherwise specified above in Section 5.3(c) (each, a “Level One Event”). In addition, the Parties agree to communicate in good faith with respect to interim progress made toward a pending deliverable milestone, and to exercise immediate Level One Remedies as mutually agreed upon in order to meet the Production Start Date.

 

  (b)

Level One Remedies. For purposes of this Agreement, “Level One Remedies” means that the Recipient Party will have the right, but not obligation, to have access to and use Technology Controlled by the Obligated Party that is reasonably necessary to support recovery, for the sole purpose of assisting the Obligated Party to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. Such access and use will be limited to access and use of Technology or Intellectual Property Rights Controlled by the Obligated Party that the Recipient Party would reasonably need to remedy the Level One Event which is the basis for invoking the Level One Remedy and the Obligated Party’s relevant proprietary tools, facilities and equipment (collectively, the “Enabling IP”). Enabling IP provided under a Level One Remedy need not include core technology or source code owned or Controlled by the Obligated Party. All Level One Remedies will be delivered or made available either at the Obligated Party’s offices or such other reasonable location designated by the Obligated Party where such Technology could be used effectively for the purposes set forth in this Section 5.6. The Recipient Party will send to the Obligated Party’s offices (or other designated location) employees or consultants of the Recipient Party that have appropriate expertise to address the causes of the delay or failure of the acceptance of the deliverable or other matter related to the Level One Event. Any reasonable, pre-approved in writing travel costs of the employees or consultants of the Recipient Party to access and use the Technology under the Level One Remedies will be paid by the Obligated Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Obligated Party will grant to the Recipient Party a temporary, restricted license (a “Level One Event License”) to use the Enabling IP for the sole purpose of remedying the Level One Event which formed the basis for invoking the Level One Remedy. A Level One Event License will be strictly limited and the Recipient Party will have access to and use of the Obligated Party’s Enabling IP only: (1) to the extent and scope as is absolutely necessary to

enable the Recipient Party to remedy the Level One Event, as appropriate; (2) for so long as is needed to remedy the Level One Event, as appropriate; and (3) with respect to such number of employees or consultants of the Recipient Party as is needed to enable the proper and timely remedy of the Level One Event, as appropriate. The Recipient Party will provide to the Obligated Party the names, titles and locations of such persons who access or use the Enabling IP (and each such person will sign an individual confidentiality agreement with terms consistent with this Section 5.6(b) and Section 15). Upon completing the remedy for the Level One Event, the Recipient Party will return to the Obligated Party, or, at the Obligated Party’s election, will destroy immediately, all materials relating to the Enabling IP other than the deliverables required under the Statement of Work that are prepared using the Enabling IP, and such Level One Event License will immediately terminate. Each employee or consultant identified by the Recipient Party as having had access to or used such Enabling IP will provide promptly to the Obligated Party a written certification of return or destruction of all such Enabling IP received under the Level One Event License. Enabling IP will, at all times, be deemed Confidential Information of the Obligated Party.

 

  (c) Level Two Events. A Recipient Party will, at no additional cost to such Recipient Party, be entitled to Level Two Remedies set forth below if: (i) the Obligated Party fails to perform one of its milestone or development obligations, and such failure remains uncured for forty-five (45) days (and the reason for such failure is not the Recipient Party’s material failure to perform an obligation expressly defined in the Statement of Work the performance of which was necessary for the Obligated Party’s completion of the pertinent milestone or development obligation); (ii) the Obligated Party has ceased to provide the Recipient Party the maintenance and support as defined in Schedule H contemplated by this Agreement after a written notice of failure to do so by the Recipient Party and such failure is not cured for forty-five (45) days; or (iii) the Production Start Date is delayed by more than forty-five (45) days and the reason for such delay is not the Recipient Party’s material failure to perform an obligation expressly defined in the Statement of Work the performance of which was necessary for the Obligated Party’s completion of the pertinent deliverable or; (iv) as otherwise specified above in Section 5.3(e) (each, a “Level Event”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that the Level Two Event shall be used as a last resort to meet the Production Start Date, and the Parties shall, without undue delay and not more than ten (10) days after discovery thereof discuss the feasibility of a recovery plan which would resolve the delay in the overall time schedule or the non-conformance without resorting to Level Two Remedies.

 

  (d)

Level Two Remedies. For purposes of this Agreement, “Level Two Remedies” means that an Obligated Party will provide to a Recipient

Party a copy of all of the Obligated Party’s Enabling IP, and will grant to the Recipient Party a temporary, restricted license (a “Level Two Event License”) to use the Enabling IP for the sole purpose of remedying the Level Two Event which is the basis for invoking the Level Two Remedy. A Level Two Event License will be strictly limited and the Recipient Party will have access to and use of the Obligating Party’s Enabling IP, including source code, core technology and documentation owned or Controlled by the Obligated Party, only: (1) to the extent and scope as is absolutely necessary to enable the Recipient Party to remedy the Level Two Event which is the basis for invoking the Level Two Remedy; (2) for so long as is needed to enable the remedy of such Level Two Event; and (3) with respect to such number of employees or consultants of the Recipient Party as is needed to enable the timely remedy of such Level Two Event. The Recipient Party will provide to the Obligated Party the names, titles and locations of such persons who access or use the Enabling IP (and each such person will sign an individual confidentiality agreement with terms consistent with this Section 5.6(d) and Section 15). Upon completion of the remedy of such Level Two Event, the Recipient Party will return, or, at the Obligated Party’s election, will destroy immediately, all materials relating to the Enabling IP other than the deliverables required under the Statement of Work that are prepared using the Enabling IP, and such Level Two Event License will immediately terminate. Each employee or consultant identified by the recipient Party as having had access to or used such Enabling IP will provide promptly to the Obligated Party a written certification of return or destruction of all such Enabling IP received under the Level Two Event License. The Enabling IP will, at all times, be deemed Confidential Information of the Obligated Party.

 

  5.7 Remedies for Major Delays. The following additional remedies will apply to the Statement of Work.

 

  (a) RTP Dates. The “Latest RTP Date” means February 1, 2005 and the “Remedy Date” means March 1, 2005.

 

  (b)

Specified Anoto Events. The Parties will work together to monitor the progress of the activities set forth in the Statement of Work regarding the Complete DotPos, and, no later than September 15, 2004, LeapFrog may elect in its discretion to direct the Parties to proceed with preparations for the implementation of the BSU. If a Specified Anoto Event does occur, then the remedies set forth in this Section 5.7(b) will become effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provision of any one or more of the following remedies does not (1) operate to cure the Specified Anoto Event or satisfy any milestone set forth in the Engineering Milestone Schedule; (2) relieve Anoto of its obligation to complete and deliver a Complete DotPos to LFIRC as soon as possible; (3) create any obligation for LeapFrog to make any NRE Fee or Additional NRE Fee payments for any incomplete milestone. The

remedies of this Section 5.7 are in addition to and not in lieu of the Level One and Level Two remedies.

 

  (i) BSU Substitution. If LFIRC has requested Anoto to proceed with the BSU in accordance with Section 5.7(b) above, then Anoto will (1) achieve a RTP Date for the BSU on or before January 15, 2005; and (2) provide reasonable technical assistance to LFIRC in implementing the BSU as an interim solution for the DotPos ASIC in the LeapFrog Product. For clarity, provision of the BSU will not in any way limit or fulfill Anoto’s obligation to deliver the Complete DotPos. In addition:

 

  (A) For each unit of LeapFrog Product containing the BSU rather than the Complete DotPos or Interim DotPos that LFIRC orders from the Anoto Authorized Source between the Remedy Date and the actual RTP Date of the Complete DotPos or Interim DotPos, the applicable Licensed Product Royalty set forth in Schedule G shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%).

 

  (B) (1) The discount provided in paragraph 6 of Schedule G will not apply to LeapFrog Products that are subject to the discount of Section 5.7(b)(i)(A) and that contain a BSU that LFIRC orders between the Remedy Date and [*], resulting in a net royalty reduction of [*] for such Products.

(2) The discount provided in paragraph 6 of Schedule G will apply to LeapFrog Products that are subject to the discount of Section 5.7(b)(i)(A) and that contain a BSU that LFIRC orders after [*], resulting in a net royalty reduction of [*].

 

  (C) Any unit of LeapFrog Product containing the BSU rather than the Complete DotPos or Interim DotPos that LFIRC orders before the Remedy Date will be subject to the Licensed Product Royalty set forth in Schedule G and the discount provided in paragraph 6 of Schedule G, but will not be subject to the discount of Section 5.7(b)(i)(A).

 

  (D) LFIRC will, in ordering units of the BSU to support its manufacturing plans, minimize the quantity of units of the BSU that it orders so that the financial impact of purchasing the BSU as compared to the Complete DotPos is also minimized; provided that the Parties acknowledge that the timing and amounts of LFIRC’s orders will be made with the goal of maximizing sales of LFIRC’s Licensed Products and Content.

  (ii) Interim DotPos ASIC. On an ongoing basis, the Parties will discuss the current technical status of the Complete DotPos. If a Specified Anoto Event occurs, LFIRC may elect in its sole discretion to use in a LeapFrog XY Module the partially completed DotPos ASIC described in Section III of the Statement of Work (the “Interim DotPos”) in LeapFrog Products rather than the BSU. On the RTP Date for the Interim DotPos, remedies set forth in Section 5.7(b)(i) will no longer apply.

 

  (A) The Licensed Product Royalty for each unit of LeapFrog Product containing the Interim DotPos ordered by LFIRC between the RTP Date for the Interim DotPos and the actual RTP Date for the Complete DotPos shall be equal to the applicable Licensed Product Royalty set forth in Schedule G, after deducting the discount set forth in Paragraph 6 of Schedule G.

 

  (B) For each unit of LeapFrog Product containing the Interim DotPos ordered by LFIRC between the RTP Date for the Interim DotPos and the actual RTP Date for the Complete DotPos, LFIRC will be entitled to a credit equal to [*] of the actual per-unit costs incurred by LeapFrog to acquire additional hardware necessary to implement the DotPos ASIC in the Interim DotPos with functionality equivalent to that of the Complete DotPos, excluding any parts or modifications that relate to the LeapFrog specified functions, which are identified in Section III of the Statement of Work (“Unit Credit Amount”).

 

  (C) Beginning with the first unit of LeapFrog Product sold by LeapFrog after the total of all discounts provided for in paragraph 6 of Schedule G have been taken, LFIRC will deduct a Unit Credit Amount from the Licensed Product Royalty payable pursuant to paragraph 1 of Schedule G for each unit of LeapFrog Product until all Unit Credit Amounts accumulated pursuant to Section 5.7(b)(ii)(B) have been exhausted.

 

  (D) For clarity, “Interim DotPos” also includes LeapFrog XY Modules including a DotPos ASIC that have certain deviations from full specifications for an agreed upon period of time, which deviations will be agreed upon by the Parties in writing.

  (iii) Security for Delay.

 

  (A) If Anoto fails to provide an RTP Date for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos by [*], LFIRC will pay the Advance Royalty amount due that day as specified in paragraph 5.5(b) of Schedule G, but [*] of that Advance Royalty payment will be deposited into a Client Account maintained by Anoto on behalf of LFIRC until an RTP Date has been achieved for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos that has been accepted by LFIRC in writing in accordance with this Agreement and the Statement of Work.

 

  (B) If Anoto fails to provide an RTP Date for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos by [*], LFIRC will pay the Advance Royalty amount due that day as specified in paragraph 5.5(c) of Schedule G, but [*] of that Advance Royalty payment will be deposited into the Client Account maintained by Anoto on behalf of LFIRC until an RTP Date as been achieved for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos that has been accepted by LFIRC in writing in accordance with this Agreement and the Statement of Work.

 

  (C) If Anoto fails to provide an RTP Date for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos by [*], LFIRC will pay the Advance Royalty amount due that day as specified in paragraph 5.5(d) of Schedule G, but [*] of that Advance Royalty payment will be deposited into the Client Account maintained by Anoto on behalf of LFIRC until an RTP Date as been achieved for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos that has been accepted by LFIRC in writing in accordance with this Agreement and the Statement of Work.

 

  (D) If Anoto fails to provide an RTP Date for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos by [*], then:

(1) LFIRC may withdraw and keep all funds then on deposit in the Client Account;

(2) LFIRC will have no further obligation to pay any Advance Royalties under this Agreement;

(3) LFIRC will thereafter have no obligation to pay any Royalties under this Agreement on Net Sales Value of LeapFrog Products that accrues prior to the RTP Date for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos;

 

33.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


(4) LFIRC’s obligation thereafter to pay Royalties under this Agreement on Net Sales Value of LeapFrog Content that accrues prior to the RTP Date for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos will be reduced [*] prior to taking any discount pursuant to paragraph 6 of Schedule G, resulting in a net royalty reduction of [*];

(5) The remedies specified in Section 5.7(b)(iv)(B)(1) through (4) will apply.

 

  (iv) Failure to Provide a Remedy.

 

  (A) First-Level Delay. If a Specified Anoto Event occurs and Anoto fails to provide an RTP Date for either the BSU, the Interim DotPos, the Complete DotPos or another solution acceptable to LFIRC (in its sole discretion) in accordance with Section 5.7(b)(i) or Section 5.7(b)(ii), as applicable (or cures the Specified Anoto Event by providing a RTP Date for the Complete DotPos), on or before [*], then the Advance Royalty payment scheduled for payment pursuant to paragraph 5.5(a) of Schedule G on [*], shall be delayed until Anoto provides an RTP Date for either the BSU, the Interim DotPos, the complete DotPos or another solution acceptable to LFIRC. For the avoidance of doubt, such delay in the Advance Royalty payment shall be in addition to any other remedies available under this Section 5, including those set forth in Section 5.7(b)(i) or Section 5.7(b)(ii) above.

 

  (B) Second-Level Delay. If a Specified Anoto Event occurs and Anoto fails to provide a RTP Date for either the BSU, the Interim DotPos, the Complete DotPos or another solution acceptable to LFIRC (in its sole discretion) in accordance with Section 5.7(b)(i) or Section 5.7(b)(ii), as applicable (or cures the Specified Anoto Event by providing a RTP Date for the Complete DotPos), on or before [*], then the remedies listed below shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the following remedies shall be in addition to any other remedies available under this Section 5, including those set forth in Section 5.7(b)(i) or Section 5.7(b)(ii) above.

(1) The Exclusive Term will be extended by one (1) year, such that it expires on [*]; and

(2) The Set Term will be extended by one (1) year, such that it expires on [*]; and

(3) The product launch deadline as set forth in Section 4.1 shall be extended by one (1) year, such that it falls on [*] (rather than [*]); and

(4) Each of the launch year deadlines specified in Section 4.2(a) shall be extended by one (1) year; and

(5) LFIRC shall be permanently relieved of any obligation to make any payments of Advance Royalty pursuant to paragraph 5.5 of Schedule G.

 

  (C) Third Level Delay. In the event that a Specified Anoto Event occurs and Anoto fails to provide a RTP Date for the BSU, the Interim DotPos, the Complete DotPos, or another solution acceptable to LFIRC (in its sole discretion) on or before [*], then LFIRC may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Agreement for cause in accordance with Section 16.2, and, if LFIRC elects to terminate, LeapFrog’s sole remedy is to receive from Anoto an amount equal to [*] plus all Advance Royalties previously paid to Anoto.

 

  (c) Delay in Licensed Product Launch Caused by LeapFrog.

 

  (i) Accelerated Vesting. For purposes of this section, a “Next Year Delay” means a delay of the commercial launch of the first LeapFrog Product by LeapFrog from one calendar year (the “Planned Year”) into the immediately following calendar year (“Delayed Year”), where the first Planned Year is [*]. If a Next Year Delay is either (A) imposed by LeapFrog for its own convenience despite the delivery of all Anoto deliverables in accordance with the Statement of Work reasonably required to start production of LeapFrog Products by LeapFrog (including the provision by Anoto of a RTP Date for a BSU, Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos no later than (1) for [*] the Latest RTP Date, or (2) for any subsequent Planned Year, [*] of the concerned year); or (B) for any Planned Year other than [*] primarily caused by LeapFrog, then such Next Year Delay will be deemed to be a “LeapFrog-Caused Next Year Delay”, and a specified portion (a “Vested Amount”) of the amounts paid to Anoto as Advance Royalties shall become “Vested” in accordance with the table below.

 

LeapFrog-Caused Next Year Delay

Third LeapFrog-Caused Next Year Delay

   [*]

Fourth LeapFrog-Caused Next Year Delay

   [*]

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Next Year Delay for the [*] Planned Year is primarily caused by LeapFrog’s material failure to fulfill its express obligations under the Statement of Work, then the table above will be amended so that the Vested Amount during the First LeapFrog-Caused Next Year Delay will be zero, and the Vested Amount for the Third LeapFrog-Caused Next Year Delay will be [*].

For purposes of this Section 5.7(c)(i), “Vested” means that for the LeapFrog-Caused Next Year Delay, effective as of the end of the last day of the Planned Year, the Vested Amount shall be deemed to have been earned and paid to Anoto as a royalty by LFIRC in accordance with Section 5.5 of Schedule G, and consequently shall be deemed nonrefundable and deducted from the total Advance Royalty prepayment credits available to LFIRC for use in offsetting future accrued royalties.

 

  (d) The Parties acknowledge that Change Requests that are accepted by the Parties may, in accordance with their express terms, result in changes to the schedules set forth in the Statement of Work, which in turn may also result in changes to the dates and deadlines set forth in this Section 5.7.

 

  5.8 Additional Definitions.

 

  (a) DotPos ASIC” means the Anoto mixed-signal ASIC designated as the “DotPos” deliverable in the Statement of Work, which will be designed for use both by LFIRC in its LeapPen product and by Anoto in other licensees’ products.

 

  (b) Complete DotPos” means a DotPos ASIC-based LeapFrog XY Module that fully conforms to the specifications set forth in the Statement of Work (Milestone M) and additional specifications as agreed to in writing by the Parties in accordance with an update to the Statement of Work, and has been released for non-risk production, including the completion of all appropriate qualification and manufacturing test vectors, which vectors may be adjusted as needed through the production process.

  (d) RTP Date” means the date on which the XY Module Components (as defined in the Statement of Work) and an ASIC solution (i.e. the BSU, Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos) has been released for non-risk production, as set forth in the Statement of Work (Milestone M for the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos or Milestone K for the BSU).

 

  (e) Specified Anoto Event” means the failure of Anoto to complete and achieve an RTP Date for a Complete DotPos in accordance with the Statement of Work on or before the Latest RTP Date; provided, however, that such failure shall not be deemed a “Specified Anoto Event” to the extent the reason for the delay was LFIRC’s material failure to perform a material obligation expressly defined in the Statement of Work the performance of which was necessary for Anoto’s completion of the DotPos ASIC, or if the failure was caused by Leapfrog specified functions as defined in the Statement Of Work, Section III.

 

  (f) Client Account” means a separate cash account (i) maintained by Anoto in an established bank in Sweden, (ii) designated by Anoto and LFIRC under applicable Swedish accounting and banking laws and regulations as a segregated account ([*]) containing conditional advance payments by LFIRC to Anoto, and (iii) under applicable Swedish law and this Agreement, allows Anoto to assume title to and withdraw amounts from the account only on the condition that Anoto provides an actual RTP Date for either the Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos in accordance with Section 5.7(b)(iii) and LFIRC agrees in writing to Anoto that such actual RTP Date has been met. The Client Account shall have all characteristics necessary under Swedish bankruptcy law to preserve for LFIRC the balance in the account at the time of any Anoto Bankruptcy Event.

 

  5.9 The remedies set forth in this Section 5 are the exclusive remedies for the events specified in this Section 5 and the occurrence of any such event will not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


  (a) Improvement to Anoto or LeapFrog Pre-existing Technology. Regardless of whether the Newly Developed Technology is created by LFIRC, Anoto, or jointly by both Parties: (i) Anoto will own all Intellectual Property Rights to any Newly Developed Technology that is an Improvement to any Pre-existing Anoto Technology and is not an Improvement to Pre-existing LeapFrog Technology; and (ii) LFIRC will own all Intellectual Property Rights to any Newly Developed Technology that is an Improvement to any Pre-existing LeapFrog Technology and is not an Improvement to Pre-existing Anoto Technology. Newly Developed Technology that is an Improvement to Pre-existing Anoto Technology and is created solely by LFIRC or jointly by LFIRC and Anoto will become part of the Licensed Anoto Technology, and Newly Developed Technology that is an Improvement to Pre-existing Anoto Technology and is created solely by Anoto will be governed by Section 6.3(g). Newly Developed Technology that is an Improvement to Pre-existing LeapFrog Technology and is created solely by Anoto or jointly by LFIRC and Anoto will become part of the Licensed LeapFrog Technology, and Newly Developed Technology that is an Improvement to Pre-existing LeapFrog Technology and is created solely by LFIRC will be governed by Section 6.3(g).

 

  (b) Improvement of Neither Party’s Technology. If Newly Developed Technology constitutes neither an Improvement of Pre-existing LeapFrog Technology nor an Improvement of Pre-existing Anoto Technology, then all Intellectual Property Rights to such Newly Developed Technology will be (i) solely owned by the Party solely creating such Newly Developed Technology and will be governed by Section 6.3(g), or (ii) jointly-owned by both Parties if such Newly Developed Technology is (x) jointly developed by both Parties, or (y) developed by one Party for and at the expense of the other Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

  (c) Improvement to Both Party’s Pre-existing Technology. If Newly Developed Technology constitutes an Improvement of both the Pre-existing LeapFrog Technology and the Pre-existing Anoto Technology, then all Intellectual Property Rights to such Newly Developed Technology will be owned by the Party who solely developed such Newly Developed Technology, and the other Party will receive a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable license (with the right to grant sublicenses) to such Newly Developed Technology; provided, however, that if such Newly Developed Technology was developed by both Parties, then such Newly Developed Technology will be jointly owned by both LFIRC and Anoto without a right to accounting, revenue sharing or prior approval for commercialization or enforcement.

 

  (d) Jointly-Owned Intellectual Property. Intellectual Property Rights in Newly Developed Technology that are jointly-owned by the Parties pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.3 will be subject to the following terms:

  (i) Except as provided in Section 4.2, Anoto will not license or otherwise exercise its rights in jointly-owned Intellectual Property Rights in the Exclusive Field, during the Exclusive Term.

 

  (ii) Except as provided in sub-section (i) immediately above and as provided in Sections 7.2 and 7.3(a), each Party will have an unrestricted right to exploit its interest in such jointly-owned Intellectual Property Rights without accounting to, revenue sharing with, or prior approval for commercialization or enforcement by the other Party.

 

  (e) Deemed Ownership. For the purposes of clarity only, as between LeapFrog and its Group Companies and Anoto and its Group Companies (as defined below), and solely for purposes of this Agreement, any Newly Developed Technology that would, in accordance with Sections 6.3(a)-(b) above, be deemed owned by a LeapFrog Group Company, will be owned in the name of LFIRC, and any Newly Developed Technology that would, in accordance with Sections 6.3(a)-(b) above, be deemed owned jointly, would be owned jointly in the name of LFIRC and Anoto.

 

  (f) No Grant to Pre-existing Technology. For the avoidance of doubt, no assignment or license contemplated by this Section 6.3 shall require either Party to assign or license to the other Party any Intellectual Property Rights in its Pre-existing Technology, even if such Pre-existing Technology is utilized in Newly Developed Technology. License rights in Pre-existing Technology must be separately procured on mutually agreeable prices and terms if such license rights are required to practice the Newly Developed Technology, except to the extent such Pre-existing Technology is included in Licensed Anoto Technology or Licensed LeapFrog Technology, is licensed pursuant to Section 2 or 3, or is subject to the non-assertion provisions of Section 6.9.

 

  (g) Included in License. Any Intellectual Property Rights in Newly Developed Technology (a) if owned only by Anoto or any of its Group Companies, will be included in Anoto Licensed IP and licensed to LFIRC subject to all terms and conditions contained in Section 2; and (b) if owned only by LFIRC or any of its Group Companies, will be included in Licensed LeapFrog IP and licensed to Anoto subject to all terms and conditions contained in Section 3.

6.4, does not automatically vest in the Party entitled to own such rights as set forth in such sections (the “Entitled Party”), each Party (the “Assigning Party”) hereby irrevocably transfers, conveys and assigns (and covenants to irrevocably transfer, convey and assign) to the Entitled Party such of its right title and interest in the Entitled Party’s Intellectual Property Rights as necessary to achieve the foregoing allocation. The Assigning Party will execute such documents and render such assistance and take such other actions as the other Party may reasonably request (at the requesting Party’s expense), to apply for, register, perfect, maintain and protect the other Party’s rights in and to the assigned Technology.

 

  (b) Power of Attorney. If the Assigning Party fails to comply with the foregoing for any reason, the Assigning Party hereby appoints the Entitled Party as its attorney-in-fact with respect to such assignment (and the Assigning Party hereby acknowledges that such appointment is irrevocable and a power coupled with an interest), to act for and in the Assigning Party’s behalf and stead to assign such technology and Intellectual Property Rights therein to the Entitled Party and to execute and file such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts (with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Assigning Party) to further the application for, registration, perfection, maintenance and protection of the other Party’s rights in and to the assigned Technology.

 

  (c) Fallback License. To the extent that under mandatory law, Intellectual Property Rights may not be assigned, the Parties hereby agree to grant an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and unconditional license under such Intellectual Property Rights to the Entitled Party (subject to applicable licenses in this Section 6). To the extent such license grant is invalid or not fully enforceable under mandatory law, the Parties irrevocably agree to grant and hereby grant such right to the Entitled Party as the Entitled Party reasonably requests in order to acquire a legal position as close as possible to the legal position described in Section 6.1, 6.3 and 6.4.

 

  6.6

Realization of Intellectual Property Rights. In order to ensure that each Party will be able to retain, acquire, and use its respective Technology and Intellectual Property Rights as outlined in Section 6.3, each Party will: (a) transfer possession, ownership and title to media, models and other tangible objects containing Technology to the other Party if that other Party is entitled to the Intellectual Property Rights to such Technology under this Agreement; (b) share copies of media, models and other tangible objects containing Technology of both Parties if it is not feasible or commercially reasonable to physically separate the Technology of each Party; and (c) provide the other Party with reasonable support and information for registering or otherwise securing, defending and enforcing such other Party’s Intellectual Property Rights against third parties. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.6 to the contrary, neither party shall be required to disclose its confidential or proprietary information

constituting its Pre-existing Technology except to the extent required to provide a deliverable that it is obligated to provide under the applicable Statement of Work.

 

  6.7 Employees and Contractors. In order to ensure that both Parties acquire all Intellectual Property Rights as outlined in Section 6.3, both Parties will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to have all their respective employees, consultants and agents assign or otherwise transfer (as provided in Section 6.5) to the Party that acts as their employer, customer or principal, all Intellectual Property Rights arising out of any work such employees, consultants or agents perform in connection with this Agreement.

 

  6.8 License to Technology Updates, Upgrades and Other New Technology.

 

  (a) Anoto will notify LFIRC of any Anoto Updates of the Licensed Anoto Technology and will provide such Anoto Updates to LFIRC free of charge if and when such Updates become available. Anoto Updates will be deemed to be Licensed Anoto Technology and included in the licenses granted by Anoto under this Agreement. LFIRC will notify Anoto of any LeapFrog Updates of the Licensed LeapFrog Technology and will provide such LeapFrog Updates to Anoto free of charge if and when such LeapFrog Updates become available. LeapFrog Updates will be deemed to be Licensed LeapFrog Technology and included in the licenses granted under this Agreement by LFIRC. It is the objective of the Parties’ cooperation to create a broad de facto standard for the Joint Platform, and LeapFrog Updates and Anoto Updates will be provided in furtherance of the continued update of the Joint Platform.

 

  (b) Upgrades of the Licensed Technology, when and if available, will be delivered and licensed to the other Party, subject to agreed upon upfront license fees and/or royalties.

 

  (c) Anoto will advise LFIRC of the existence of Anoto Other New Technology having application in the Permitted Field, and LFIRC will advise Anoto of the existence of LeapFrog Other New Technology having application in the Permitted Anoto Field.

 

  6.9 Non-Assertion. Anoto agrees that, during the Term, it will not assert, nor permit any of its Group Companies to assert, Licensed Anoto IP against LF Enterprises, LFIRC or their Group Companies or authorized sublicensees based solely upon the exercise of the license rights granted in Section 2, so long as LF Enterprises, LFIRC or their authorized sublicensees, as appropriate, complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. LF Enterprises and LFIRC each agrees that, during the Term, it will not assert, nor permit any of its Group Companies to assert, Licensed LeapFrog IP against Anoto, Anoto Group Companies or their authorized licensees, based solely upon the exercise of the license rights granted in Section 3 so long as Anoto, its Group Companies and licensees, as appropriate, complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

  6.10 Future Acquisitions of IP. Any Intellectual Property Right that a Party acquires ownership or Control of during the Term shall be included in the license grant to the other Party as set forth in this Agreement if such Intellectual Property Right is necessary for the other Party to exercise of its rights under such grant. Each Party shall use reasonable commercial efforts (short of having to pay additional license fees or royalties) to gain Control over any Intellectual Property Right that it licenses from a third party if such Intellectual Property Right would be reasonably necessary to allow the other Party to this Agreement to exercise its license rights under Section 2 or 3 (as the case may be) of this Agreement.

 

  6.11 Claims. LFIRC will inform Anoto if LFIRC or any Group Company of LFIRC becomes party to a suit or other proceeding, or is expressly threatened in writing with a suit or other proceeding, based on an allegation that LeapFrog Licensed Technology infringes an issued patent(s) of a third party. Anoto will inform LFIRC if Anoto or any Group Company of LFIRC becomes party to a suit or other proceeding, or is expressly threatened in writing with a suit or other proceeding, based on an allegation that Anoto Licensed Technology infringes an issued patent(s) of a third party. Each Party will have a reasonable time to investigate the relevance of any such threat before informing the other Party, provided that a Party will not be under an obligation to inform the other Party if the threat is, to the best of such Party’s knowledge, not a bona fide claim.

 

7. PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

 

  7.1 General Protection Rights. Other than with respect to jointly-owned Intellectual Property Rights, the Party that solely owns Intellectual Property Rights as described in Section 6 will have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation to seek, obtain and maintain registrations for and other protection of such Intellectual Property Rights, at its own expense, in such countries as that Party considers appropriate.

 

  7.2

Filings of Jointly-Owned IPR. The Parties will inform each other in writing when a jointly-owned invention has been made. The parties will agree which of them will assume responsibility for and control of preparation and prosecution of a patent application on each jointly-owned invention (“Joint Filing”), in what jurisdictions the application will be filed (including the jurisdiction where the application is to be initially filed), and whether the application will be filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. The non-drafting party will have the right to approve the application prior to its initial filing. All Joint Filings and any Intellectual Property Rights issuing thereon will be filed and held in the names of LFIRC and Anoto jointly. The Parties will cooperate in applying for, prosecuting and maintaining any Intellectual Property Rights arising out of such Joint Filings and will equally divide the expenses thereof In the event that one Party elects not to file for or maintain protection of jointly-owned Intellectual Property Rights in any country or jurisdiction, it will give notice thereof to the other Party, which will have the right but not the obligation to file for or maintain such protection jointly in the names of LFIRC and Anoto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

Party may elect within thirty (30) days of being notified of a proposed or actual Joint Filing not to share the expenses of making and maintaining such Joint Filings in any or all countries (with failure to positively indicate agreement to a Joint Filing within the aforesaid thirty (30) days being taken as an election not to share in such expenses), in which case the other Party may file, prosecute and/or maintain such Joint Filings at its own expense and will have sole control of the prosecution of such Joint Filing, even though title will remain joint as aforesaid.

 

  7.3 Enforcement.

 

  (a) Of Jointly-Owned Intellectual Property. Each Party will give prompt notice to the other Party of any suspected infringement of any jointly-owned Intellectual Property Rights by third parties. Upon agreement of the Parties, one Party in the name of both Parties will institute and conduct such legal action against third party infringers or unauthorized users of the jointly-owned Intellectual Property Rights, or may enter into settlement agreements, as are deemed appropriate, subject to agreement of the other Party. Costs of any action will be shared by the Parties. In the event either Party does not agree, within ninety (90) days of receiving written notice from the other Party, that an action should be commenced or a settlement sought against a suspected infringer, then such other Party will have the right to initiate and pursue such action, at its expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Party bringing the action may not settle or otherwise resolve the action in any manner that adversely effects or prevents the other Party from continuing its business as provided for under this Agreement. All awards, damages and settlement amounts received in such actions will be shared equally after first reimbursing the actual and reasonable attorney’s fees and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Party or Parties bringing the action. To the extent applicable laws requires cooperation of joint owners in enforcement of any jointly owned Intellectual Property Right, a party that does not agree with an action will join the action in the name only and at the other Party’s expense. Nothing in this Section 7.3(a) shall limit either Party’s right to grant a license under the jointly-held Intellectual Property Right to an alleged infringer on any terms (including royalty-free terms), provided, however, that a Party may not grant a license to an alleged infringer after the other Party initiates an legal action against the alleged infringer.

 

  (b)

Of LFIRC’s Exclusive Rights. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party of any suspected infringement by a third party of Licensed Anoto IP in the Exclusive Field during the Exclusive Term. Anoto, in its own name or jointly with LFIRC if required by law, will have the first option, at its own expense, to bring and diligently prosecute actions for infringement against such third party. LFIRC will, if so requested, join in with such action at Anoto’s expense and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with Anoto in maintaining such actions. If Anoto does not bring an action against such third party within [*] days after a written request by LFIRC

 

44.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

to do so, then LFIRC may, at its election and expense, bring such action in its own name and in the name of Anoto. If LFIRC brings an action, then Anoto will, if so requested, join in such action at LFIRC’s expense and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with LFIRC in maintaining such actions. If for any reason Anoto refuses to join in an action legitimately brought by LFIRC pursuant to this section and such refusal prevents or unreasonably delays such action, LFIRC may suspend payment of Royalties pursuant to Section 8 until Anoto joins in the action. Notwithstanding the other Party’s joinder or participation in such legal action, the Party bringing suit will have sole control over such legal action and will be empowered to seek an injunction against infringement, collect damages and awards of whatever nature are recoverable for such infringement and settle any claim of infringement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anoto may not settle any such action by granting a license that would conflict with LFIRC’s exclusive rights hereunder, without the prior written consent of LFIRC; and LFIRC may not settle any action by granting a sublicense under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Anoto if required in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All awards, damages and settlement amounts received in such actions will be shared in accordance with the following allocation after first reimbursing the actual and reasonable attorney’s fees and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Party bringing the action: in actions brought by Anoto [*] to Anoto, [*] to LFIRC; in actions brought by LFIRC, [*] to Anoto, [*] to LFIRC.

 

  (c) Other Licensed IP. Each Party will have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to enforce Intellectual Property Rights owned or Controlled by it that are not subject to exclusive licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement.

 

  7.4 Abandonment. Each Party that is responsible for maintenance or prosecution of a Joint Filing in any or all countries will give notice to the other Party about its intention to abandon such Joint Filing in any or all countries, in which case the other Party, may, by written notice to the responsible Party, assume prosecution or maintenance, at its own expense, of such Joint Filing and will have sole control of the prosecution or maintenance of such Joint Filing, even though title will remain joint as aforesaid. If Anoto elects to abandon any Licensed Anoto IP that is exclusively licensed to LFIRC, Anoto shall give LFIRC sufficient advance written notice thereof to permit LFIRC to elect to assume the control and cost of prosecution and maintenance of such Licensed Anoto IP, but such assumption of control will not change ownership or Control of the Licensed Anoto IP. If either party elects to abandon any Licensed Anoto or LFIRC IP, as applicable, relating to Improvements under section 6.2, the other Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume the control and cost of prosecution and maintenance of such filing, but such assumption of control will not change ownership or Control of the Licensed Anoto or LeapFrog IP.

  7.5 Markings. LFIRC will use and print, and cause its permitted sublicensees and Group Companies to use and print, a statement(s) on the LeapFrog Content regarding a common identifier supplied by Anoto and agreed to by LFIRC. Such statement will be agreed upon by the Parties as soon as practical after execution of the Agreement, taking into account what is suitable from a marketing and end-user point of view. In addition, LFIRC will mark and cause its Group Companies to mark the LeapFrog Products with appropriate patent numbers, as provided by Anoto; and Anoto will mark the Joint Platforms with appropriate patent numbers, as provided by LFIRC.

 

8. CONSIDERATION.

 

  8.1 Royalties. In consideration of the rights and licenses granted herein, each Party agrees to pay to the other Party royalties (“Royalties”) and other fees as set forth on Schedule G.

 

  8.2 Royalty Payment. Within [*] days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Party (the “Reporting Party”) will submit to the other Party: (a) a written report detailing the quantity of LeapFrog Products and LeapFrog Content, and Joint Platforms and Anoto Content, sold, the number returned and the applicable Net Sales Value or Net Sublicense Royalty Value, as appropriate, by the Reporting Party during such quarter and on which Royalties are payable as set forth in Schedule G (“Royalty Report”); together with (b) payment of the Royalties due based on the Net Sales Value or Net Sublicense Royalty Value, as appropriate, set forth in such report. No Royalties will be due from LFIRC pursuant to Section 8.2(b) until all Advance Royalties previously paid to Anoto by LFIRC have been exhausted pursuant to the terms of Schedule G. Each Party will maintain books and records of account, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, generally sufficient to confirm the accuracy of all reports furnished by the Reporting Party under this Section 8.2.

 

  8.3 Sale Date. LeapFrog Products will be considered sold on the date of invoice or the date of shipment, whichever is earlier, and, if not sold but otherwise disposed of by lease, give-away, placement on consignment or otherwise on the date of shipment.

 

  8.4

Audit and Prescription Period. No more than [*] each calendar year and upon no less than [*] business days prior written notice, each Party (the “Auditing Party”) may have a certified public accountant (“CPA”), reasonably acceptable to the other Party (the “Audited Party”), audit such books and records of account of the Audited Party, to confirm the accuracy and completeness of all the Royalty Reports, and Royalties paid hereunder. The Auditing Party acknowledges and agrees that: (a) such audit may be conducted by the Auditing Party no more than one (1) time in any calendar year during the Audited Party’s normal business hours and in a manner that does not disrupt the Audited Party’s normal business operations; (b) the CPA may inspect and audit the previously unaudited books and records for the [*] month period preceding such audit; (c) the Auditing Party may

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

require that the CPA execute the Audited Party’s non-disclosure agreement and not report to the Auditing Party any information other than whether and to what extent the reports and payments hereunder by the Audited Party are accurate. The Auditing Party will bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any audit under this Section 8.4.

 

  8.5 Currency. All payments shall be made in U.S. dollars. To the extent that any portion of Royalties payable by either party are based on sales of LeapFrog Products or LeapFrog Content or licensing of Joint Platform or Anoto Content made in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Net Sales Value or Net Sublicense Royalty Value will be calculated by converting such non-U.S. proceeds into U.S. dollars at the rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the business day next following the end of the quarter for which such Royalties are reported by the Party owing the Royalties, as the case may be.

 

  8.6 Taxes. All amounts payable (including up-front license fees, Royalties and NRE Fees) under this Agreement are exclusive of any sales tax, excise tax, value-added tax, duty, levy, custom fee or similar charge (collectively “Taxes”). Any Taxes will be on the account of the Party paying the amount other than income taxes imposed on the Party receiving the amount or any of its Group Companies. Any withholding tax which a Party is required to withhold or deduct from payments of Royalty to the other, if any, will be grossed up and thus the amount required to be withheld will be paid over to the appropriate government authority by the Party paying the royalty without reducing the amount paid to the other Party. The preceding sentence with respect to withholding taxes is based on an understanding by the Parties that payments pursuant to this Agreement by LeapFrog or LFIRC to Anoto from the United States or the Cayman Islands are not subject to withholding taxes, and the Parties agree to amend this provision to equitably distribute the burden of withholding taxes if that understanding is or at any time during the Term becomes incorrect.

 

  8.7 Late Payment. If a Party is overdue with any undisputed payment due under this Agreement then such Party will pay interest on the overdue amount at a rate equal to [*] per month or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, whichever is less, which interest will accrue on a daily basis from the date the payment becomes overdue until the other Party has received payment of the overdue amount together with any interest that has accrued.

 

9. COMPULSORY AND KEY COMPONENTS.

 

  9.1 LeapFrog Obligations With Respect to Anoto Compulsory and Key Components.

 

  (a) In order to secure a technically satisfactory quality of LeapFrog Products, LeapFrog must use the Anoto Compulsory Components and, unless otherwise agreed, the Key Components (together “Anoto Components”).

 

47.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


  (b) LeapFrog will use Anoto Components for the sole purpose of implementation in LeapFrog Products.

 

  (c) For all Anoto Compulsory Components and Anoto Key Components used in the LeapFrog Products, LeapFrog will bear the responsibility to have a relationship with the Anoto Authorized Source either (i) through agreements to be entered into between the Anoto Authorized Source and LeapFrog or (ii) for placing orders, using a process agreed between LeapFrog and the Anoto Authorized Source, as an authorized purchaser under the agreement entered into between Anoto and the Anoto Authorized Source. Anoto’s obligations to maintain agreements with Anoto Authorized Sources are regulated below in Section 9.2.

 

  9.2 Anoto Obligations With Respect to Anoto Compulsory and Key Components.

 

  (a) Anoto will use best commercial efforts to facilitate and ensure that LeapFrog is able to enter into agreements with Anoto Authorized Sources for the supply of all Anoto Compulsory Components and agreed upon Anoto Key Components on substantially the same prices, terms and conditions as those at which such vendors have agreed to supply Anoto Components to Anoto.

 

  (b) Anoto will use best commercial efforts to maintain or enter into new supply agreements with Anoto Authorized Sources that give LeapFrog the right to purchase Anoto Components under such agreements on substantially the same terms as Anoto.

 

  (c) Anoto will use best commercial efforts to (a) cooperate in good faith with LeapFrog to identify agreed-upon target prices for the Anoto Components, and (b) encourage Anoto Authorized Sources to meet the target prices agreed-upon by the Parties for the Anoto Components.

 

  (d) Upon written request from LeapFrog identifying an Anoto Key Component and potential vendor who LeapFrog desires to have manufacture such Anoto Key Component, Anoto, as Confidential Information subject to Section 15, will provide specifications of the identified Anoto Key Component to LeapFrog to allow LeapFrog to qualify and appoint the identified new vendor as an Anoto Authorized Source. Anoto may refuse to provide the specifications if it has a good faith reason for objecting to the identified vendor, which objection will be conveyed to LeapFrog promptly after receipt of the written request. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the specifications for such Anoto Key Components will be comparable to the specifications for such Key Components in existence as of the Effective Date.

 

  9.3

LeapFrog Obligations with Respect to the LeapFrog ASIC. LeapFrog will use best commercial efforts to facilitate and ensure that Joint Platform Customers are

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

able to enter agreements with Qualified LeapFrog Foundries for the supply of LeapFrog ASIC on substantially the same prices, terms and conditions as those at which such vendors have agreed to supply such components to LeapFrog. LeapFrog will use best commercial efforts to (a) cooperate in good faith with Anoto to identify agreed-upon target prices for the LeapFrog ASIC, and (b) encourage Qualified LeapFrog Foundries to meet the target prices agreed upon by the Parties for the LeapFrog ASIC.

 

10. SUBCONTRACTORS AND GROUP COMPANIES.

 

  10.1 Subcontractors. Each Party may use subcontractors when exercising the rights granted to it or performing the obligations imposed on it herein (including the performance under the Statement of Work or the manufacturing of the LeapFrog Products or the Joint Platform); provided, however, that any such subcontractor (other than the case when Anoto or LFIRC are acting as subcontractors to the other Party) will be required to enter into an agreement with LeapFrog or Anoto (as applicable) that contains terms that are no less restrictive than the terms contained herein, including but not limited to terms relating to use of the Licensed Anoto or LeapFrog Technology, Licensed Anoto or LeapFrog IP, and Anoto or LeapFrog Confidential Information and that restricts such subcontractors to activities that are solely for the benefit of Anoto or LFIRC. For the avoidance of doubt, subcontractors will not be sublicensed under Licensed Anoto IP or Licensed LeapFrog IP. With respect to manufacturing subcontractors, prior written notice of the identity of each such subcontractor will be given to Anoto or LeapFrog (as applicable). In the event that a Party (the “Responsible Party”) reasonably believes that any of its subcontractors (the “Violating Subcontractor”) is violating the terms of this Agreement, the Responsible Party will notify the Violating Subcontractor thereof in writing. In such case, the Responsible Party will effectively enforce the relevant provisions of this Agreement against such Violating Subcontractor of the Responsible Party or terminate the relevant rights granted to such Subcontractor of the Responsible Party as the Responsible Party deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any act or omission of such Violating Subcontractor will be deemed an act or omission of Responsible Party. Consequently, all obligations of Anoto will run only to LFIRC and all obligations of LFIRC will run only to Anoto. Nothing herein will prevent Anoto or LeapFrog, as applicable, from enforcing its respective Intellectual Property Rights against any Violating Subcontractor.

 

  10.2

Group Companies. In the event that a Party (the “Responsible Party”) reasonably believes that a Group Company of either Party (the “Violating Group Company”) is violating the terms of this Agreement, the Responsible Party will notify the Violating Group Company and the other Party thereof in writing. The Parties will cooperate to effectively enforce the relevant provisions of this Agreement against such Violating Group Company or to terminate the relevant rights granted to such Violating Group Company where appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, any non-compliance with the provisions of this Agreement by

 

49.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

any Group Company of a Party will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by that Party.

 

  10.3 Sublicensees. In the event that a Party (the “Responsible Party”) reasonably believes that any of its permitted sublicensees is violating the terms of the sublicense agreement (“Violating Sublicensee”), such Party will notify the Violating Sublicensee thereof in writing. In such case, the Responsible Party will effectively enforce the relevant provisions of this Agreement and the sublicense agreement against such Violating Sublicensee or terminate the relevant rights granted to such Violating Sublicensee as the Responsible Party deems appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, any non-compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or the sublicense agreement by any Violating Sublicensee of a Party (other than by one of its Group Companies) in and of itself will not be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Responsible Party, but nothing herein will prevent Anoto or LeapFrog, as applicable, from enforcing its respective Intellectual Property Rights against any Violating Sublicensee of the other Party.

 

  10.4 Letter of Credit. To guarantee its performance under this Agreement, within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, LFIRC will obtain, maintain and provide to Anoto an irrevocable standby letter of credit with an institution reasonably acceptable to Anoto in an amount of the greater of [*] or the amount of NRE Fees, Interim License Fees or Advanced Royalties payable during the next six months, and after exhaustion of Advance Royalties, Royalties payable for the coming six months based on forecast provided by LeapFrog. Thus, for example, (a) on the date within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, the letter of credit amount will be [*], which is intended to cover all amounts specified in Schedule G as payable in [*], (b) on [*], the letter of credit amount will be [*], which is intended to cover all amounts specified in Schedule G as payable through [*], (c) on [*] the letter of credit amount will be increased to [*], which is intended to cover all amounts specified in Schedule G as payable from July 1, 2005 through [*], and (d) on [*], the letter of credit amount may be reduced to [*], which is intended to cover all amounts specified in Schedule G as payable from [*] through [*]. The letter of credit will be structured to allow payment upon default, upon either the joint instruction of the parties, or an order or award of an arbitrator under Section 17.2, or a court of competent jurisdiction, that payment is due by LFIRC to Anoto (including but not limited to payment under the terms of Schedule G as payable from [*] through [*], damages, liabilities, lawyers fees, arbitration or court costs awarded by such arbitrator or court).

 

11. GENERAL UNDERTAKINGS.

 

  11.1

Responsibility for the XY Module. Anoto will be responsible for the development of the LeapFrog XY Module. Accordingly, Anoto, in accordance with the Statement of Work, will bear the overall responsibility for the development and the specification of the LeapFrog XY Module. Other than with respect to the LeapFrog XY Module and except as provided in Section 5 and the Statement of Work, LFIRC will be responsible for the development of the LeapFrog Product.

 

50.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

Accordingly, except as provided in Section 5 and the Statement of Work LFIRC will bear the responsibility for assembly from Anoto Components of the LeapFrog XY Module, for the LeapFrog Product specification, for development, industrialization, testing and production of the LeapFrog Product and its components, and for the final product as such.

 

  11.2 Product Liability for Licensed Product. The Party selling a LeapFrog Product or licensing the Joint Platform to third parties (“Selling Party”) will defend and indemnify the other Party (“Licensing Party”) from and against any claims that a product sold by the Selling Party (or the Selling Party’s licensees, as the case may be) caused damage to persons or tangible property. The obligation herein on the Selling Party will not apply if the claim of damage is based on (i) a product not supplied or controlled by the Selling Party (or its Joint Platform licensees), or (ii) a combination of a product supplied or controlled by the Selling Party (or its Joint Platform licensees) and other components not supplied or controlled by the Selling Party, or (iii) use of a product supplied or controlled by the Selling Party (or its Joint Platform licensees) in an unintended manner. A Party’s obligation under this Section 11.2 to defend and indemnify the other Party against a claim will be conditioned on: (a) it receiving prompt notice of the claim; (b) it having sole control of the defense and any related settlement negotiations; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to approve any settlement agreement purporting to bind it; and (c) the indemnified party cooperating in the defense. An indemnified party under this Section 11.2 will have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense with counsel of its choosing. Each Selling Party Agrees that it will not, without the Licensing Party’s written consent, exercise (or sublicense others to exercise) its license rights under Section 2 or 3 (as applicable) to produce or sell products or content used in the following activities: the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any life-support system, aircraft, weapons system or nuclear facility; aircraft navigation or control; medical diagnosis or the prescription or dispensation of drugs to humans; or any other activity in which the failure of the device could reasonably be expected to result in loss of human life, personal injury or property damage.

 

  11.3 Maintenance and Support. Anoto and LFIRC will provide maintenance and support services to each other with respect to the Licensed Anoto Technology and Licensed LeapFrog Technology, respectively, in accordance with the Maintenance and Support Terms set forth on Schedule H. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) each party will provide its respective maintenance and support services at no additional charge, unless otherwise agreed to in Schedule H; and (b) neither LFIRC nor Anoto will be obligated to provide support to any third party unless expressly agreed upon by LFIRC or Anoto, as applicable, on a case-by-case basis.

 

  11.4 Protection of the Parties’ Rights in Event of Bankruptcy.

 

  (a)

short-form version of the licenses contained herein (“Agreement Summary”) suitable for recordation in copyright and patent registers. Each party hereby authorizes (“Authorizing Party”) the other party to register (“Registering Party”), at its own expense, the Agreement Summary with the copyright and patent registers in all jurisdictions where the Authorizing Party has registered a patent covered by the license grant herein. The Authorizing Party agrees to provide assistance in obtaining such registration. Each Party will, at the request and expense of the other Party, register (and cause its Group Companies to register) its (or their) copyrights to the Licensed Technology that it has delivered to the other Party.

 

  (b) All rights and licenses granted under this Agreement are and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 United States Code, Section 101, et seq. (“Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The assignment restrictions of Section 18.6 will not operate to prevent a trustee or debtor-in-possession from assuming this Agreement if a Party enters into bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that this provision will not operate to permit such trustee or debtor-in-possession from transferring this Agreement to a third party in contravention of Section 18.6. Nothing in this Section 11.4(b) is intended to conflict with or modify the laws of any other country.

LFIRC has no right under this Section 11.4(h) to possession of particular Deposit Material until such Deposit Material has been released from escrow in accordance with the escrow agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the license grant to the Deposit Material does not give LFIRC any rights in addition to those granted herein, except that LFIRC, and its suppliers to the extent of acting solely for LFIRC, have the right to reproduce, internally distribute, create derivative works, compile and otherwise modify the Deposit Materials to develop, enhance and support Licensed Products so long as the Deposit Materials are treated as Confidential Information of Anoto. LFIRC hereby assigns to Anoto all derivative works based on and Improvements to Deposit Materials made by or for LFIRC or any of its Group Companies during exercise of rights granted pursuant to this Section 11.4(h), provided, however, that all such derivative works will become part of Licensed Anoto Technology and Licensed Anoto IP and will be licensed to LFIRC in accordance with the terms of Section 2.

  11.5 Covenant Not to Compete. LeapFrog agrees that promoting or selling in the Exclusive Field products that employ Technology that [*] (a “Replacement Technology”) would be inconsistent with the purposes of this Agreement, and, accordingly, LFIRC agrees, during the Exclusive Term, that it and its Group Companies will not manufacture, sell, distribute or market within the Exclusive Field any Replacement Technology. Further LeapFrog agrees to notify Anoto (i) [*] months prior to any intended launch of a product that incorporates any Replacement Technology or (ii) upon a decision by LFIRC or its Group Companies to initiate development of Replacement Technology with an intent to launch a product, which ever date is the earliest. Upon such notice by LFIRC or any Group Company, Anoto may terminate the Exclusive Term by giving LFIRC notice of termination describing the alleged breach in reasonably specific detail. LFIRC will have a grace period of [*] days, beginning on the date that LFIRC receives such notice, to permanently cease the breach described in the notice. If LFIRC terminates or causes termination of the breaching activity within the [*] day grace period, then the Exclusive Term will remain in effect; otherwise the Exclusive Term will terminate at the conclusion of the [*] day grace period. Termination of the Exclusive Term will be the sole remedy for any breach by LFIRC or its Group Companies of this Section 11.5.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.5 will not apply if Anoto is in material breach of this Agreement or if there has been a failure of a deliverable or performance of Anoto that results in a material delay or reduction in LFIRC’s ability to properly commercialize the Licensed Anoto Technology.

Further, and without limitation to the foregoing, if Anoto has not achieved an RTP Date for either an Interim DotPos or Complete DotPos by [*], LFIRC or its Group Companies, have the right to initiate development of Replacement Technology with intent to launch a product that incorporates such Replacement Technology, without notifying Anoto as set forth in this Section 11.5. If Anoto, after such event, achieves an RTP date of the Complete DotPos or Interim DotPos on or before [*], then LFIRC and its Group Companies shall immediately notify Anoto of such development and of its intent to either cease or proceed with such development. If LFIRC or its Group Companies proceeds with development with intent to launch a product that incorporates Replacement Technology, Anoto may terminate the Exclusive Term according to the procedure, terms and conditions set forth above.

Notwithstanding this Section 14.3, Anoto shall [*] for prospective rights in any settlement arising out of the action entitled [*] filed in the [*] or any related action.

  15.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means (i) Work Product, Licensed Technology and any other information relating to a Party’s technology, customers, business plans, marketing activities, finances and other business affairs, and (ii) third party information that a Party is under an obligation to keep confidential; in each case as notified in writing by a Party, that is marked or otherwise expressly identified as confidential in writing or that should have been reasonably understood as such due to its nature, regardless of whether in tangible, electronic, verbal, graphic, visual or other form, that one Party (“Owner”) discloses to another Party (“Recipient”). Confidential Information does not include material or information that: (a) is generally known by third parties other than as a result of an act or omission of the Recipient; (b) subsequent to disclosure hereunder, was lawfully received without restriction on disclosure from a third party having the right to disseminate the information; (c) was already known by the Recipient prior to receiving it from the Owner and was not received from a third party in breach of that third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (d) was independently developed by the Recipient without use of the Confidential Information of the Owner, as documented by written records.

 

  15.2

Non-Disclosure Obligation. Subject to Sections 15.2 and 15.6 below, Recipient will protect the secrecy of Owner’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but not less than due care. Recipient will: (a) not disclose Owner’s Confidential Information

to any third party, except to its suppliers, permitted sublicensees and persons in Recipient’s own organization who, in each case, have a need to know in order to fulfill Recipient’s obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement, and who, in each case, are bound by non-disclosure obligations requesting them to treat the Confidential Information as confidential; and (b) not use Owner’s Confidential Information except as necessary for the performance of Recipient’s obligations or the exercise of Recipient’s express rights under this Agreement. Recipient may not make any copies of Owner’s Confidential Information without the prior written consent of Owner except as permitted herein; and (c) notify the Owner immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and of any other breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Recipient must promptly destroy or return all Confidential Information and any copies thereof upon Owner’s written request. Recipient agrees to provide written certification of compliance with this Section 15.2 within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the request.

 

  15.3 Legal Obligation to Disclose. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required by applicable law. Under such circumstances, Recipient shall, if reasonably possible under the circumstance of such disclosure, provide the other Party with reasonable advance notice of such disclosure in order to afford the other Party an opportunity to take legal action to prevent or limit the scope of such disclosure, and shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in connection therewith.

 

  15.4 Injunctive Relief. The Recipient hereby acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information could cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the Owner, for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the Recipient agrees that the Owner will have the right to seek and obtain immediate injunctive relief to enforce obligations under this Agreement in addition to any other rights and remedies the Owner may have.

 

  15.5 Scope of Obligations. This Agreement covers Confidential Information disclosed by the Owner both prior and subsequent to the Effective Date hereof To the extent that information disclosed prior to the Effective Date hereof is subject to a separate prior non-disclosure agreement, such information shall be subject to both the terms of the prior agreement and of this Section 15 and in the event of conflict or inconsistency between the prior agreement and this Section 15, the provision that is more restrictive in regard to the use or disclosure of Confidential Information shall control.

 

  15.6

Publicity. The terms of this Agreement are confidential, and no Party may issue press releases or engage in other types of publicity of any nature or otherwise disclose the terms of this Agreement without the other Parties’ prior written approval, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, except that

disclosure of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be made to such Party’s attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors under a duty of confidentiality or to the extent such disclosure is required to comply with governmental laws, rules or regulations or stock market rules or regulations; provided that Recipient seeks to obtain confidential treatment of as many of the terms of this Agreement as the applicable agency allows. The terms of this Agreement may be disclosed by a Party to prospective investors, lenders or purchasers in connection with a proposed merger, financing or sale of such Party’s business; provided that any third party to whom the terms of this Agreement are to be disclosed signs a confidentiality agreement reasonably consistent with the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 15. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative or other agent of any Party to this Agreement) may disclose the U.S. federal income tax treatment and tax structure (and all materials related to the tax treatment and tax structure) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in the manner and to the extent contemplated by Treasury Regulation § 1. 6011 -4(b)(3)(iii).

 

16. TERM AND TERMINATION.

 

  16.1 Term; Good Faith Re-Negotiation. The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue until [*] (“Set Term”), and thereafter will automatically continue for subsequent [*] extension terms unless a Party, by written notice to the other Party not less than [*] days prior to expiration of the Set Term or any extension term, elects not to extend the Agreement (the “Term”). The Parties agree that they will meet on or immediately prior to [*] (the “Good Faith Re-Negotiation”) to discuss and negotiate in good faith the potential extension of the Set Term, the Exclusive Term, or any other terms that the Parties may choose to discuss; provided that the Parties will not be obligated to change, extend or otherwise modify this Agreement in connection with the Good Faith Re-Negotiation unless a modification is made in accordance with Section 18.3 below.

 

  16.2 Termination for Cause.

 

  (a) In the event that one of Anoto and its Group Companies or one of LFIRC and its Group Companies (the “Breaching Party”) commits any material breach or default of its obligations under this Agreement, the other of Anoto and its Group Companies and LFIRC and its Group Companies (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may give the Breaching Party written notice thereof and demand that such breach or default be cured immediately.

 

  (b) If the Breaching Party

 

  (i) fails to cure such breach or default within [*] calendar days after the receipt of the Non-Breaching Party’s written notice hereunder, or

 

65.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


  (ii) where a cure cannot reasonably be effected within ninety (90) calendar days, fails to initiate good faith efforts to cure such breach or default within [*] calendar days after the receipt of the Non-Breaching Party’s written notice hereunder, or

 

  (iii) where the specific breach or default cannot be cured by any action of Breaching Party and such specific breach or default does not deprive the Non-Breaching Party of substantially all of its consideration under this Agreement, and the Breaching Party fails to exercise its best efforts to prevent a recurrence of the same type of breach or default,

the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon giving written notice of termination thereof to the Breaching Party. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 16.2 for material breach or default by the Breaching Party will not terminate the license rights and related and obligations of the Non-Breaching Party under this Agreement unless the Non-Breaching Party so elects in its written notice of termination. For example, under the preceding sentence, the Non-Breaching Party could retain its in-license under Section 2 or 3 (as the case may be), subject to its obligations (and the Breaching Party’s rights) in relation to such in-license. The provisions of Sections 16.2(b)(ii) and 16.2(b)(iii) will not apply to a breach or default arising from a failure or delay in the payment of money or a breach or default of Section 2.10 or 2.10 or a material breach where the breaching party acted willfully or was grossly negligent.

 

  16.3 Effect of Termination. Except where the Non-Breaching Party’s rights and obligations continue as provided in Section 16.2, upon the expiration or other termination of this Agreement for any reason (including where the Non-Breaching Party elects termination of its rights and obligations pursuant to Section 16.2), all rights and obligations hereunder will cease and the following will apply:

 

  (a) The licenses granted under Section 2 and Section 3 will terminate.

 

  (b) Except for sublicenses subject to Section 2.3(e) and 3.2(g), Anoto with respect to sublicenses granted by LFIRC pursuant to Section 2.3 and LFIRC with respect to sublicenses granted by Anoto pursuant to Section 3.2 will have the right and option to assume (subject to approval by the sublicensee) or reject such sublicenses by written notice to the sublicensees. Assumed sublicenses will be assigned to LFIRC or Anoto as appropriate. Sublicenses that are rejected or otherwise not assumed will be terminated effective on the date of termination of this Agreement. Each Party will include a term in its sublicense agreements effectuating this provision. This provision will not apply when this Agreement expires pursuant to Section 16.1.

 

66.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


  (c) Each Party shall promptly report and pay, in accordance with Section 8, all Royalties and other fees accruing prior to the date of expiration or other termination.

 

  (d) The expiration or other termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any obligation or liability accrued under this Agreement prior to termination or rescind any payment made by either Party or anything done by either Party prior to termination.

 

  (e) If this Agreement is terminated by Anoto for cause pursuant to Section 16.2, then the Advance Royalties paid prior to termination will be deemed non-refundable and will remain with Anoto.

 

  (f) If this Agreement is terminated by LFIRC for cause pursuant to Section 16.2 and LFIRC elects pursuant to Section 16.2 to terminate its rights and obligations, then Anoto will, within thirty (30) days after termination, refund to LFIRC the Advance Royalties paid prior to termination that as of termination have not vested under Section 5.7 or otherwise been applied to LFIRC’s Royalty obligations.

 

  (g) Unless LFIRC as the Non-Breaching Party retains its rights and obligations pursuant to Section 16.2, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, LFIRC will have no further obligation to pay any installment of Interim License Fee (as defined in Schedule G) or Advance Royalties, other than unpaid installments that were, in accordance with Schedule G, due before the date of termination.

 

  (h) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 16.3 to the contrary, each Party (and its sublicensees that are terminated) may continue to exercise the license rights, on a non-exclusive basis, granted to it under this Agreement for up to two (2) years after expiration or other termination of this Agreement solely to dispose of previously made or partially made LeapFrog Products or LeapFrog Content (in the case of LFIRC and its sublicensee) or Joint Platform products (in the case of Anoto’s sublicensees); provided that the post-termination exercise of those rights shall be subject to the applicable terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to the confidentiality obligations, rendering of reports and payment of Royalties required under this Agreement.

 

  (i) Each party shall promptly return to the other Party all Confidential Information of the other Party, including all source code and notes, files computer programs and Deposit Material in its possession embodying such Confidential Information; provided, however that each party may retain a confidential file copy of this Agreement.

 

  (j)

At Anoto’s request, LIFRC shall turn over to Anoto control over any enforcement action initiated prior to termination of this Agreement in

 

67.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

accordance with Section 7.3(b) and Anoto will thereafter share with LIFRC any recovery in such action as provided under Section 7.3(b) with respect to infringement that occurred prior to the date of termination; if LFIRC maintains control over any enforcement action after termination of this Agreement, then LFIRC will share with Anoto any recovery in such action as provided under Section 7.3(b).

 

  16.4 Survival. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all purchasers of LeapFrog Products, LeapFrog Content, Joint Platform or Anoto Content prior to the date of termination or expiration will retain all rights acquired by such purchases: Further any provisions that by nature should survive expiration or termination will so survive, including but not limited to Sections 1, 2.3(e), 2.8, 3.2 (f) and (g), 3.8, 6.2 (but only with respect to Improvements made prior to expiration or other termination of this Agreement), 6.3(c), 6.4, 6.5, 7, 8, 10, 11.2, 13.5 to 13.9, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 will survive to effect the purposes thereof.

 

17. CHOICE OF LAW AND ARBITRATION.

 

  17.1 Choice of New York Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement (“Disputes”) will be governed by the laws of New York, USA, excluding its conflict of laws principles and excluding the rules of the U.N. Convention on the International Sale of Goods (“New York Law”).

 

  17.2 Binding Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 17.3, all Disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce before three (3) arbitrators, selected pursuant to said Rules, who will, at either Party’s request, give a written opinion stating the factual basis and legal reasoning for the decision. The Parties, their representatives and any other participants will hold the existence, content and result of arbitration in confidence. The arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English and take place in: (a) Stockholm, Sweden, if LFIRC or LF Enterprises initiates the proceedings, or (b) London, England, if Anoto or Anoto Group initiates the proceedings. The arbitrators will apply New York Law. Depositions may be taken and full discovery may be obtained in any arbitration commenced under this provision. The provisions of this Section 17.2 may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

  17.3

Injunctive Relief. Either party may, at its sole discretion, seek preliminary judicial relief (including, but not limited to, preliminary injunctive relief) in any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain, until an arbitration proceeding can be completed to determine a final resolution of the dispute, any infringement by the other party of its Intellectual Property Rights, including but not limited to infringement by exceeding the scope or otherwise breaching the terms of the license granted to such other party under this Agreement. Without limiting any remedies available to either party, each party acknowledges that money damages

 

68.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


 

may not be an adequate remedy for breach of this Agreement and agrees that the other party shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief (without showing irreparable harm) to enforce or prevent any violation of those provisions of this Agreement. Unless expressly set forth to the contrary, all express remedies set forth herein are cumulative, and do not operate to limit any other remedies that may be available at law or in equity.

 

  17.4 Fees and Costs. The Arbitrators are authorized to allocate costs and attorney’s fees among the Parties in a fair and equitable manner.

 

18. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

  18.1 Compliance. Each Party will comply with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, the export control laws of the United States. Neither Party may export or re-export, or allow its licensees to export or re-export, any Work Product or Technology without the appropriate United States and other government licenses. The Parties will cooperate and inform each other of necessary approvals and applicable restrictions.

 

  18.2 Reimbursement of Legal Fees. Each Party bears its own expenses with regard to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, except that LFIRC will reimburse Anoto for up to [*] for its reasonable, documented attorney’s fees for the purpose of reviewing the draft of this Agreement.

 

  18.3 Notices, Modifications, Amendments. Any notices hereunder and any modifications of, or amendments to, this Agreement will be invalid, unless: (a) the notices are in writing and sent by (i) fax, (ii) registered or certified mail (postage prepaid) or (iii) overnight delivery by an internationally recognized delivery service; in each case to the address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement or such other address designated in writing by a Party; and (b) the modifications or amendments of this Agreement are in writing and signed by duly authorized officers of each of the Parties.

  18.4

Attribution. Each Party may disclose on its website, in press releases and marketing materials that the other Party uses its Technology in statements approved by the other Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and at the request of either Party, the other Party may publish such statements on its website. Otherwise, neither Party may delete or relocate any patent or copyright notice or similar Intellectual Property Rights marking appearing on the other Party’s deliverables or Technology items provided hereunder; provided, however, that either may delete, and will not be obligated to otherwise use or reproduce, any trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or slogans on or in connection with any products it markets hereunder, including, but not limited to, the Licensed Product and any Content unless otherwise mutually agreed.

Parties agree to include such other patent notices on their respective products (or on product packaging or manuals, as applicable), in the manner required by 35 United States Code § 287 or any foreign counterpart thereto.

 

  18.5 No Waiver. The failure of either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right under this Agreement or the delay in doing so does not constitute a waiver of such provision or right and will in no way affect that Party’s right to later enforce or exercise it. The waiver by either Party of one breach or default under this Agreement will not constitute the waiver of any subsequent breach or default regarding the same or any other provision of this Agreement. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of rights under this Agreement will be without effect, unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Parties hereto.

 

  18.6 No Assignment or Delegation. None of the Parties may assign or otherwise transfer any of its respective rights or licenses, nor delegate or otherwise transfer its respective obligations or duties under this Agreement, to any third party without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Any attempted or purported assignment or delegation by either Party in violation of this Section 18.6 will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon, and will inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

  18.7 Patent Assignment. If Anoto or one of its Group Companies desires to assign or otherwise transfer ownership to any third party of any one or more of its patents included in Licensed Anoto IP, it will (a) give written notice of the assignment or transfer (including the identity of the assignee or transferee) to LFIRC at least [*] days prior to such assignment or transfer, and (b) ensure that the assignee or transferee agrees in writing that the assignment or transfer is made subject to this Agreement and LFIRC’s rights hereunder.

 

  18.8 Relationship Between the Parties. The Parties are acting hereunder as independent contractors and each will conduct its business hereunder solely as a principal for its own account.

Neither Party has, and nor will it represent to any third party that it has, the power or authority as agent, employee or in any other capacity to represent, act for, bind or otherwise create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries to this agreement.

[*]

LFIRC is responsible for building the external components to compensate for this functionality identified in the foregoing sentence. Anoto is responsible to get the DotPos sub-image system to work as apart of the PPS System, and to provide hooks so that the above functions can be implemented externally.

The secondary backup plan is the BSU. This consists of the [*]. This can be used with the LeapFrog System ASIC.

TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT

SCHEDULE G: ROYALTY AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE

1. Licensed Product Royalty. Subject to the Section 6 of this Schedule G, for each unit of LeapFrog Product sold by LFIRC or its Group Companies under this Agreement, LFIRC will pay to Anoto a Royalty (the “Licensed Product Royalty”) equal to:

 

  (a) First [*] Units – For the first [*] units of LeapFrog Products sold by LFIRC or its Group Company, [*] of the Net Sales Value of LeapFrog Product.

 

  (b) After [*] Units – For all units of LeapFrog Products in excess of [*] sold by LFIRC or its Group Company, [*] of the Net Sales Value of LeapFrog Products.

Such Royalties under this Section 1 of Schedule G will be deducted against the Advance Royalties paid under Section 5 of this Schedule G. Licensed Product Royalty will not apply to inter-company transactions between LFIRC Group Companies but rather will be based on the first sale by LFIRC or its Group Company to an unrelated customer.

In addition to the above definition of Licensed Product Royalty, the following shall apply until [*] after which date it will be renegotiated in good faith by the Parties.

A Maximum and Minimum royalty shall be applied for each LeapFrog Product sold in the Exclusive Field. The Maximum Royalty per LeapFrog Product within the Exclusive Field per unit will be [*]. The Minimum Royalty per LeapFrog Product within the Exclusive Field per unit will be [*].

For the avoidance of doubt, these Maximum and Minimum levels will only be applicable for LeapFrog Products sold or otherwise distributed within the Exclusive Field Furthermore, this applies only to units sold separately (i.e., these levels are not applicable for multiple units bundled into one product package), e.g., a starter kit with one pen and one piece of Content.

The above Maximum and Minimum levels are applied to determine the Licensed Product Royalty before taking into account any discount permitted under the Agreement or this Schedule G. For example, if a unit of Licensed Product sold for [*], then the Licensed Product Royalty at [*] would be [*]; however, the Licensed Product Royalty would, under the preceding paragraph, be deemed no less than the Minimum Level of [*]. Any permitted discounts permitted this Schedule G or Section 5.7 would then be applied to reduce the net Licensed Product Royalty, even if below the Minimum Level (in the case of a [*] discount for example, to [*]).

2. Content Royalty.

 

  (a) Where LFIRC or its Group Company sells or licenses LeapFrog Content on a stand-alone basis, LFIRC will pay a royalty (the “LeapFrog Content Royalty”) per sold LeapFrog Content item equal to:

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.


  (i) [*] of the Net Sales Value, if no royalty is paid by LFIRC or a Group Company to a third party licensor in connection with the LeapFrog Content; or

 

  (ii) [*] of the Net Sales Value, if LFIRC or a Group Company pays royalties to a third party licensor in connection with the LeapFrog Content

 

  (b) Where LFIRC or its Group Company sells or licenses LeapFrog Content other than on a stand-alone basis, LFIRC will pay Anoto: (i) where the LeapFrog Content is bundled with a LeapFrog Product, a Royalty equal to the Licensed Product Royalty will apply with respect to the Net Sales Value of the bundle; and (ii) where the LeapFrog Content is bundled with any product or item other than a LeapFrog Product, a reasonable Royalty based on the value of the Content in proportion to the value of the overall product will be paid to Anoto; provided, however, that Anoto has given its written approval to such Royalty level, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

  (c) Where content is developed, created and sold by an unrelated sublicensee of LFIRC or a Group Company, the Royalty rate is [*] of the sublicensees Net Sales Value of such content, subject to the following, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a) or 2(b) above to the contrary :

 

  (i) LFIRC or its Group Companies will have the right to license [*] to a sublicensee, the right to print Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern in books, magazines and other publications that (a) are sold by the sublicensee separately from the digital software and content used with the LeapFrog Product (“SW Content”), (b) were not originally published in digitally enabled form for use with the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern, and (c) with the exception of adding the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern and additional codes or features that interact with LeapFrog Products to provide additional functionality, no material changes have been made to the original book, magazine, or publication other than the inclusion of such additional codes or features and of notice to readers that the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern is used. In such case, [*] Royalty shall be paid to Anoto for such sublicense, except for the Anoto Dot Pattern License Fee set forth in Section 3 below as applicable, and LFIRC and its Group Companies [*]. This Section 2(c)(i) will not apply if LFIRC or any LFIRC Group Company charges the sublicensee [*] for the right to use Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern with such digitally-enabled books, magazines or other publications.

 

  (ii)

For books, magazines and other publications that were originally published in digitally enabled form for use with the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern, the Royalty payable to Anoto is [*] of the sublicensee’s Net Sales Value of such products. Such Royalty will also apply when such book, magazine or publication, is bundled and sold together with the

corresponding digital SW Content, or when the digital SW Content is sold, in tangible form (cartridge or similar).

 

  (iii) If the digital SW Content is sold separately by means of downloading the SW from an internet service, the Royalty payable to Anoto is [*] of the sales value received from the customer that is downloading and paying for such digital content, excluding sales tax and administrative costs that are stated separately (e.g. handling and invoice fee’s and similar charges).

 

  (d) Such Royalties under this Section 2 will be deducted against the Advance Royalties paid under Section 5 of this Schedule G. LeapFrog Content Royalty will not apply to inter-company transfers between LFIRC Group Companies but rather will be based on the first sale by LFIRC or a Group Company to an unrelated customer.

 

  (e) The Parties agree to discuss in good faith the possibility of pre-printing the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern in LeapFrog Content or other Content prior to initial launch of LeapFrog Products.

3. Anoto Dot Pattern License Fee. With respect to any license by LFIRC for additional unique areas of the Anoto Dot Pattern (following the initial allocation of the equivalent of [*] pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Agreement), after Anoto has completed and confirmed processing of LFIRC’s order for the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern, and has allocated the applicable portion of the Anoto Dot Pattern to LFIRC, LFIRC will pay Anoto the applicable license fee therefore as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Agreement.

4. Royalties on Sublicensing Revenues.

 

  (a) If Anoto grants a sublicense of its rights under Section 3 of the Licensed LeapFrog Technology to third parties, then Anoto will pay LFIRC a Royalty equal to a portion, specified as follows, of the Net Sublicense Royalty Value received by Anoto:

 

  (i) [*] of any Net Sublicense Royalty Value received by Anoto or its Group Companies until first [*] royalty-bearing units implementing the Joint Platform (“Royalty Bearing Units”) have been sold;

 

  (ii) [*] of any Net Sublicense Royalty Value received by Anoto or its Group Companies once sales of Royalty-Bearing Units are in excess of [*].

 

  (b) If LFIRC grants a sublicense of its rights under Section 2 of the Licensed Anoto Technology to third parties, then LFIRC will pay Anoto a Royalty based on sales by such third parties as if such sales were made by LeapFrog.

  (c) In addition to its obligation to pay NRE under Section 5 of the Agreement, LFIRC may elect to pay, in whole or in part, additional non-recurring expenses of Anoto associated with the development of the Anoto ASIC to lower the per-unit amortization charge assessed by Anoto’s third-party ASIC supplier. In such case, LFIRC, Anoto and the relevant third-party supplier will enter into an agreement whereby prices charged to LFIRC by the third-party supplier for the Anoto ASIC will be reduced (relative to those charged by the supplier or Anoto to other customers) for a volume of units sufficient to allow LFIRC to recover such additional non-recurring expense.

5. Payments and Payment Terms.

 

  5.1 Total Payments. In partial consideration of the licenses granted and services performed by Anoto, LFIRC will pay to Anoto the following payments in accordance with Sections 5.2 through 5.4 below:

 

  (a) [*] as a non-recurring charge for engineering services provided by Anoto under the Statement of Work (“NRE Fee”);

 

  (b) [*] as a nonrefundable initial license fee (“Initial License Fee”);

 

  (c) [*] as a nonrefundable interim license fee that will not be credited against future Royalty obligations (“Interim License Fee”); and

 

  (d) [*] as an advance to be credited against Royalty obligations incurred by LFIRC under this Agreement (“Advance Royalties”).

 

  5.2 NRE Fee. LFIRC will pay the NRE Fee to Anoto in five (5) equal installments of [*]. The installments will be payable upon attainment by Anoto of each specified milestone (as described in the Statement of Work) in accordance with the following schedule:

 

  (a) [*]: First full APR functionality (Milestone D1);

 

  (b) [*]: DotPos (silicon out) samples available from vendor (Milestone F);

 

  (c) [*]: Attainment of all milestones specified (Milestones II through I4);

 

  (d) [*]: XY Module release to production (Milestone M);

 

  (e) [*]: Production Start Date (Milestone 0).

 

  5.3 Initial License Fee. LFIRC will pay the Initial License fee to Anoto within ten (10) days after the date that this Agreement is executed by all of the Parties.

  5.4 Interim License Fee. LFIRC will pay the Interim License Fee to Anoto in four (4) equal installments as follows:

 

  (a) [*] to be paid by [*];

 

  (b) [*] to be paid by [*];

 

  (c) [*] to be paid by [*]; and

 

  (d) [*] to be paid by [*].

 

  5.5 Advance Royalties. LFIRC will pay the Royalty Advance in four (4) installments as follows:

 

  (a) [*] to be paid by [*];

 

  (b) [*] to be paid by [*];

 

  (c) [*] to be paid by [*]; and

 

  (d) [*] to be paid by [*].

The Advance Royalties will be credited against Royalty amounts owed by LFIRC under this Agreement until the Advance Royalties are exhausted. LFIRC will not be entitled to a refund of Advance Royalties except as expressly provided under this Agreement. In accordance with Section 5.7 under the Agreement, portions of the Advance Royalties may “vest” if LFIRC does not fulfill its obligations under the Statement of Work. Portions of the Advance Royalties that have vested will not subsequently be credited to LFIRC’s Royalty obligations.

6. Discount. Subject to the terms of this Section 6, LFIRC may take a [*] discount against Royalties payable by LFIRC under Sections 1 and 2 of this Schedule G until such aggregate life-to-date discounts taken by LFIRC under this Section 6 (not Section 5.7) equals [*]. Under this Section 6, LFIRC may take such discount against Royalty payments that are already discounted in accordance with Section 5.7 of the Agreement, unless expressly stated to the contrary in Section 5.7. For example, if LFIRC’s first Licensed Product were introduced in the first quarter of [*], and if Net Sales Value generated in that quarter were [*], then the resulting Royalty obligation (at [*] Royalty rate) would be [*]; in that case, LFIRC would first discount this gross Royalty obligation as permitted under Section 5.7 to arrive at a net Royalty obligation; LFIRC would then take a [*] discount under this Section 6 against such net Royalty obligation. Assuming in the foregoing example that there were no discount available under Section 5.7, then LFIRC would remit (or deduct against any Advanced Royalties paid and not previously deducted, as applicable) [*] to Anoto in full satisfaction of LFIRC’s Royalty obligation for that quarter. Having taken that discount, LFIRC’s aggregate life-to-date discount for purposes of this Section 6 would equal [*] and thereafter LFIRC would not be entitled to take additional discounts under this Section 6. Assuming instead in the foregoing example that a discount were available under Section 5.7, then LFIRC would take the Section 5.7 discount and then apply the

[*] discount under this section to the net result. Only the amount of the incremental [*] discount taken under this Section 6 would be included in LFIRC’s aggregate life-to-date discount for purposes of determining when the LFIRC has reached [*] aggregate life-to-date discount cap.
