Dear Xxxxxxx:
Pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement between Axonn
Corporation ("Axonn") and CellNet Data Systems, Inc. (formerly Domestic
Automation Company) ("CellNet") dated August 21, 1992, as amended (the
"Agreement"; capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the
meanings assigned such terms in the Agreement), CellNet desires to sublicense
its rights under Section 2 of the Agreement to the following entities for the
UDS MARKET.
General Electric Company Process Systems, Inc. Metretek, Inc.
ABB Power T&D Company, Inc. Siemens, Inc. Honeywell, Inc.
Xxxxxx & Gyr, Inc. American Meter Company Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx
Schlumberger, Inc. Badger Meter, Inc.
Section 2 [c] of the Agreement requires Axonn's approval of the foregoing
SUBLICENSEES.
CellNet acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any terms in any
Endpoint Product License Agreement between CellNet and any SUBLICENSEE, all
of the terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect, subject to the
terms of this letter agreement. In particular, CellNet agrees that the
indemnification terms, choice of law and jurisdiction provisions of the
Agreement remain unaffected as between Axonn and CellNet. The 50 square mile
minimum operating coverage area shall also be maintained as part of the
definition of the "CellNet System."
Axonn acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the confidentiality
provisions of Section 8 of the Agreement, CellNet has the right to disclose
to its SUBLICENSEES, pursuant to appropriate non-disclosure agreements, the
source code for transmit-only endpoint devices, the object code for the
MASTER and SLAVE processors and COMM processor, and the source code for the
HOST processor contained within the receiver/transceiver. CellNet shall not,
however, sublicense Axonn's DSP RF technology or patents, except that CellNet
may offer for sale completed digital and RF subassemblies for the DSP
transceiver, under the terms of the Agreement.
In regards to section 9 [a] of the Agreement concerning patent marking,
for SUBLICENSEES only, the attached list of patents will supersede those
listed in Exhibit 1 of the Agreement.
I appreciate your signing the enclosed copy of this letter and returning
it to me to indicate Xxxxx's approval of the foregoing SUBLICENSEEE and the
foregoing terms.
Very truly yours,
