5 CONSIDERATION
5.1 Royalties.
(a) Except to the extent (i) Esmertec desires at its sole option at any time to pay royalties to Sun directly or (ii) Esmertec’s customers pay royalties to Sun directly; for each of the various Java Environments to which a Licensed Product distributed hereunder relates Esmertec shall pay, in accordance with clause 5.2, a per unit royalty to Insignia for each copy thereof at rates set by Insignia provided that such royalty rates shall not exceed those paid by Insignia to Sun pursuant to the Insignia TLDA relating to each respective Java Environment.
5.2 Prepayments and Royalty Application.
(a) Prepayment of Royalties. As of the Effective Date hereof, Esmertec hereby agrees to pay to Insignia Two Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$2,400,000.00) in prepaid royalties, less the Adjustment to be determined in accordance with Section ___ below, (collectively, as adjusted, the “Prepay Amount”). The Prepay Amount shall be due in ten installments each of US$200,000, and an eleventh and twelfth installment to be finally determined as necessary to accommodate the Adjustment, according to the following schedule:
1. 15 May 2003;
2. 15 July 2003;
3. 15 August 2003;
4. 15 October 2003;
5. 15 November 2003;
6. 15 January 2004;
7. 15 February 2004;
8. 15 April 2004;
9. 15 May 2004;
10. 15 July 2004;
11. 15 August 2004;
12. 15 October 2004.
Esmertec understands and the parties expressly agree (notwithstanding the installment schedule for payment of the Prepay Amount generally, and further notwithstanding that one or more payments are due after expiration of the term of the Agreement) that the obligation to pay the full Prepay Amount accrues as of the Effective Date hereof and that the payment schedule does not represent in any way that the payment of the Prepay Amount is conditional on further events.
(b) Calculation and Accrual of Obligation to Pay Royalties. Beginning with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2003, and continuing for each calendar quarter during which this Agreement is in effect, Esmertec shall owe quarterly royalties hereunder, equal to (i) the number of units of Licensed Products distributed, multiplied by (ii) the amount of the applicable royalty rate determined pursuant to Section 5.1. Royalties owed Insignia hereunder shall accrue with respect to Licensed Products used, licensed or otherwise distributed by Esmertec or its distributors during the subject quarter upon the earlier of (i) the distribution of unit(s) of Licensed Product for Commercial Use, (ii) the date of invoice of the Licensed Product to Esmertec or a distributor, or (iii) receipt of payment therefore.
(c) Application of Prepay Amount. All royalties payable to Insignia, as calculated on a quarterly basis in accordance with the preceding paragraphs, may be first offset against any prepaid royalties having then actually been paid and presently on account with Insignia. Application of prepaid royalties shall be shown in the licensing reports provided to Insignia pursuant to Section 5.4 below. Royalty amounts remaining owed to Insignia on a quarterly basis after
5
offset of prepaid royalties, shall be paid on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the close of the calendar quarter in which such royalties accrued.
(d) Final Product Allocation of Prepaid Royalties. Prior to the expiration of this Agreement or earlier termination hereof by Esmertec, Esmertec shall indicate in writing, with respect to any unrecouped portion of the Prepay Amount then remaining on account with Insignia (including portions of the Prepay Amount for which payment is still outstanding in accordance with the payment schedule above), its final allocation of the quantity and type of Licensed Product units to which the remaining prepaid royalties correspond (the “Final Product Allocation”). The Final Product Allocation shall designate: (i) the type of product/units (according to the Java Environment each implements), (ii) the applicable royalty rate associated with such type of units, (iii) the quantities of each such type of unit, and (iv) the total amount of royalties represented by the product allocation, which amount shall equal the remaining prepaid royalties. Upon designation of its Final Product Allocation, all remaining prepaid royalties then account shall be exhausted and the quantity and type of units designated in the Final Product Allocation shall be deemed to have been sold to Esmertec.
(e) Additional Prepayments. At any time during the term of the Agreement, Esmertec may make additional prepayments of royalties to Insignia at the rates determined in accordance with Section 5.1 with respect to all or some of the Java Environments licensed hereunder, in quantities desired by Esmertec (each a “New Prepay Amount”); provided: (i) any such election to make a New Prepay Amount shall be made prior to June 1, 2004; (ii) actual payment for such New Prepay Amount is received not later than ninety (90) days following Esmertec’s election therefore but in no case later than June 30, 2004; and (iii) that any such election is accompanied with a product allocation statement at the time such payment is made designating: (1) the type of product/units (according to the Java Environment each implements), (2) the applicable royalty rate associated with such type of units, (3) the quantities of each such type of unit, and (4) the total amount of royalties represented by the product allocation, which amount shall equal the New Prepay Amount.
5.3 Reports. Esmertec will provide to Insignia on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the close of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement (even if no royalties have accrued or are to be paid in such period) a report in reasonable detail setting forth the calculation of royalties due (and/or offset against Prepay Amounts) hereunder and signed by a responsible officer. The report shall include, at a minimum, the following information with respect to the relevant quarter: (i) the total number of copies/units of Licensed Software used, licensed, or otherwise distributed (indicating the Java Environment version(s) thereof); (ii) the relevant unit royalty applied to the units distributed; (iii) credit taken against any Prepay Amounts, and (iv) the total fees payable for the subject reporting period.
5.4 Records. Esmertec will maintain reasonable records relating to the payment of royalties for a period of three (3) years following the quarterly period for which the licensing report was due. Insignia will have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to have an independent certified public accountant conduct during normal business hours (but not more than once in any twelve month period) an audit of Esmertec’s records to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event such an audit results in a discrepancy between the amounts owed and those actually paid, Esmertec will be invoiced or credited for any future amounts owed, as applicable. If any deficiency in fees paid exceeds ten percent (10%) of the amounts reported for any quarter, Esmertec agrees to pay the reasonable expenses associated with such audit, in addition to the deficiency. Royalties and reports due hereunder shall be paid to Insignia at the address set forth above.
6
5.5 Terms of Payment — General. Payment of all fees due hereunder shall be made in lawful United States currency and shall in no case be refundable. A late payment penalty on any fees not paid when due shall be assessed at the rate of one percent (1%) per thirty (30) days, beginning on the thirty-first (31st) day after the delayed payment was due. All payments required by this Agreement are exclusive of taxes, and Esmertec is responsible for the payment of all such taxes (excluding only taxes based on Insignia’s net income). To the extent Esmertec is required to withhold and remit taxes to any government in any country based upon royalties paid to Insignia, Esmertec agrees to provide Insignia with written evidence of such withholding, suitable for Insignia to obtain a tax credit in the United States.
