3. Internal Use by Mercury Customer Service and Managed Service Organizations
The license granted to Mercury Interactive and it Affiliates in Section 2.1 shall also include an unlimited use license, along with support and maintenance under Exhibit C, for the Licensor Software by Mercury Interactive’s Customer Service Organizations and Managed Services Organizations for no additional royalties or other fees, for the Initial Term of the Agreement and any Renewal Terms. This license is for reproduction and use by such organizations within any sites and on any systems of Mercury Interactive or its Contractors. Use of this license is restricted to providing support Services for the Combined Products only and shall not include use of Licensor Software to provide hosting services for multiple third parties as referred to in the definition of “Managed Services” in Section 1
of this Agreement. Should such organization request implementation or professional service from Licensor in connection with this license it shall be provided on at an additional charge based on mutually agreeable rates and terms in writing under Exhibit E.
4. Royalties
For the fees stated below (for Initial and Renewal Terms), Mercury shall have all of the rights and licenses granted in the Agreement, including the right to (1) sublicense, deploy, combine and use an unlimited number of Licensor Software licenses, as incorporated into the Combined Product, (2) create Derivative Works of the Licensor Software and deploy such Derivative Works with the Combined Products to the extent authorized in the Agreement, and (3) receive Licensor support and maintenance, as defined in Exhibit C. Mercury Interactive and its Affiliates are entitled to set their own pricing and discounts for the Combined Products, but shall do so in an equitable manner so as not to discriminate between the Combined Product and other Mercury Interactive products for the purpose of unfairly de-valuing the Licensor Software or reducing the “Net Revenue” attributable to the value of the Combined Products as that term is defined in Section 4.b) of this Exhibit A.
a) For Initial Term
Total Royalties Due for Initial Term: $15,000,000
| Payment Due Date | Amount | ||
| Upon Agreement execution | $ | 8,000,000 | |
| December 15, 2003 | $ | 3,000,000 | |
| March 15, 2004 | $ | 2,000,000 | |
| June 15, 2004 | $ | 2,000,000 | |
b) For Renewal Terms
Definition of “Net Revenue” means net license fees (exclusive of support and maintenance, implementation, professional services, any other non-license fee revenue and any royalties on the Combined Products payable to third parties) received by Mercury Interactive and its Affiliates for the Combined Products. Net Revenue credit for perpetual licenses will be applied to the Renewal Term in which they are booked. Net Revenue credit for term/subscription licenses will be applied to the Renewal Term in which they are booked based on total net deferred revenue for the subscription term. When the Mercury Interactive Products are included in a product bundle in which the bundle is licensed for a single fee (each product is not line itemed), then the Net Revenue for the Mercury Products will be calculated by taking the average net revenue received for the entire bundle, calculating the average discount for the combined bundle based on their combined list prices and apply the same resulting percentage of discount off combined list to the list price of just the Mercury Interactive Product to arrive at a net license fee after discount for the Mercury Interactive Products.
After the Initial Term, Mercury may elect to renew the Agreement in its discretion with notice to Licensor prior to the expiration of the then current term on an annual basis, so long as Mercury Interactive pays the following up front royalties in accordance with the following tiers for each Renewal Term:
*
| * | Denotes Confidential Portion Omitted and Filed Separately with the Commission |
The minimum royalty payment to renew for each Renewal Term is * payable at the start of the calendar year of the Renewal Term. Thereafter at the end of each subsequent calendar quarter, Mercury Interactive shall provide Motive with a year to date report identifying the total Net Revenue received for that Renewal Period to date. If the report indicates that total Net Revenue up to that point exceeded the maximum revenue amount for the royalty tier for which Mercury Interactive last reported and paid Net Revenue, then Mercury Interactive shall make an incremental payment of royalties of the difference between the royalty last paid and the royalty due for the tier corresponding to the total Net Revenue reflected in the current report. For each Renewal Term, the initial royalty and Net Revenue tier shall be reset at tier 1.
Payment of the incremental royalty payment is due net 30 days after the close of the applicable quarter covered by the report.
c) Buy-Out Option (“Option”)
(1) At such time, prior to July 1, 2008, that Mercury Interactive has paid to Licensor * in cumulative royalties under this Agreement, Mercury’s rights and licenses set forth in this Agreement shall be considered fully paid up, and as a consequence Mercury Interactive shall have no further obligation to make any royalty payments to Licensor, and shall receive a perpetual, irrevocable right to deploy an unlimited number of perpetual Licensor Software licenses to be used in accordance with all of the rights and license granted in the Agreement. (2) In its sole discretion, Mercury Interactive is entitled at any time, prior to July 1, 2008, to elect to purchase this same unlimited, perpetual license by paying Licensor a one-time fee equal to the difference between the cumulative royalties paid to Licensor under this Agreement to the date of election and * . Both of the scenarios in (1) and (2) above shall be considered Mercury Interactive’s election of the Option. If Mercury elects to exercise the Option, Mercury is entitled to receive optional annual maintenance and support under this Agreement for * per year. The * maintenance and support fee is fixed for all future years Mercury Interactive elects to purchase and receive such services and will be performed in accordance with Exhibit C. The Option fee in (2) above, and the first year’s maintenance and support fee if Mercury Interactive provides notice that it wishes to receive annual maintenance and support, will be payable net thirty (30) days after the date of Option exercise. Election of the Option replaces the 4.b) Renewal Terms above (at which point notwithstanding Section 8.1 of the Agreement the term of the Agreement shall become perpetual) and relieves Mercury Interactive of making any payments under that clause. Payment obligations for all Initial Term fees will not be impacted by Mercury’s decision whether or not to exercise this Option, with the understanding that the royalties paid for the Initial Term shall be included in the cumulative royalty calculations for the Option.
Section 5 below, “Fees for Support and Maintenance After Expiration or Termination” does not apply if Mercury chooses to exercise this Option and the maintenance and support fee will remain * per year indefinitely.
5. Fees for Support and Maintenance After Expiration or Termination (this Section applies to Paragraphs 4. a) and 4. b) only and does not apply if the Option under 4. c) is exercised)
After expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason, for as long as Mercury wishes to obtain at its discretion maintenance and support services from Licensor under Exhibit C, Mercury shall pay annual support and maintenance fees equal to:
| • | For years 1, 2 & 3 following termination – * of the cumulative royalties paid to Licensor |
| • | For years 4, 5 & 6 following termination - * of the cumulative royalties paid to Licensor |
| • | For years 7, 8 & 9 and beyond following termination – * of the cumulative royalties paid to Licensor |
