1. Section V, Licensee Reports and Payment, as amended, is further amended by deleting Paragraph A and replacing it with the following new paragraph A:

 

A. Quarterly Royalty Payments. Beginning with the first royalty payment due Tessera from Licensee after the First Addendum Effective Date, royalties shall be calculated and paid in full in quarter annual payment periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Beginning with the first such royalty payment, Licensee shall deliver a written report (as shown in Addendum Attachment A) within thirty (30) days from the last day of each quarter annual payment period describing the basis upon and containing the information sufficient to determine the royalties due Tessera for the applicable payment period (by facsimile, with an original by mail courier). Tessera shall then invoice Licensee (by facsimile, with an original by mail courier) for the royalties due Tessera as set forth in each such Licensee written royalty report. Licensee shall then have thirty (30) days from first receipt of Tessera’s invoice to pay the royalties due under Tessera’s invoice.

Except as modified by this Second Amendment, the remaining terms and conditions of the Agreement, as amended, are unchanged and apply with equal force and effect.
