Section 2.		License and Right to Obtain Licenses
2.1	IHTC's Patent License to ACER
	(a)	IHTC hereby grants to ACER, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates, a perpetual, non-cancelable, non-exclusive, world-wide, fully paid-up license to the IHTC Patents, including, without limitation, the right for ACER to make, have made, use, export, import, lease, offer to sell, sell or otherwise transfer Licensed Products within the scope of the claims of the IHTC Patents.  For the avoidance of doubt, all Licensed Products made, used, imported, leased, offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred under this license are themselves Licensed Products, and the license to use, lease, export, import, sell or otherwise transfer such Licensed Products passes to each owner, user, licensee, or transferee of such Licensed Products.
	(b)	No implied licenses are granted hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall expressly or by implication or by estoppel or otherwise give ACER any right to license the IHTC Patents to any third party.
2.2	IHTC's Right to Obtain Licenses from ACER
	(a)	ACER hereby grants to IHTC the right to obtain, at any time during the term of this Agreement after which a "Trigger Event" (as defined below) has occurred, a non-cancelable, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing world-wide license for itself and its Affiliates, for a reasonable field of use within the fields in which IHTC and its Affiliates, operate at the Effective Date of this Agreement, under five patents (or applications therefore, and including foreign counterparts, divisionals, reissues or continuation patents, but not including design patents or registrations related to product design) owned by or under which ACER or its Affiliates have the right to grant licenses of the scope provided herein without any payment to third party, at any time during such term, upon terms and conditions, including royalty rates, no less favorable than those granted to ACER herein or in any amendment hereto, provided that:
		(i)	ACER shall have the right to propose alternative patents to those selected by IHTC, except that IHTC will be permitted to include in its five selected patents any patent that is the subject of a Trigger Event;
		(ii)	the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach mutually agreeable license terms reflecting the above conditions; and
		(iii)	in the event the parties are unable to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement within ninety (90) days of such a request by IHTC (or such longer time as the parties agree to), at the request of either party the terms of such license shall be determined by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator acting under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association.
	(b)	A "Trigger Event" shall be the filing of a lawsuit or legal proceeding against IHTC (or any of its Affiliates) by ACER (or any of its Affiliates) alleging patent infringement of any patent owned by ACER or its Affiliates, with the following exception:  A "Trigger Event" shall not have occurred in the event the filing of such a lawsuit or legal proceeding by ACER (or any of its Affiliates) is in response to a lawsuit or legal proceeding initially filed by IHTC (or any of its Affiliates) against ACER or its Affiliates alleging infringement of any patent owned by IHTC or its Affiliates.
	(c)	IHTC's right to obtain license(s) from ACER provided in this Section 2.2 shall be effective for the full term of this Agreement and shall expire on the last to expire of the IHTC Patents licensed to ACER under this Agreement.
2.3	Extension of License(s) to Affiliates
	(a)	The license(s) granted herein includes the right of ACER and IHTC to sublicense their respective Affiliates.  For an Affiliate to be sublicensed hereunder, said Affiliate shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if it were named herein in the place of the Party. Any sublicense granted to an Affiliate shall terminate on the date such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate or upon termination of the licenses granted in this Agreement, whichever occurs earlier.
2.4	Acquisitions, Transfers, and Spin-Offs
	(a)	If, after the Effective Date, a Party (the "Acquired Party") is acquired by a third party:
		(i)	The Acquired Party shall promptly give notice of such acquisition to the other Party hereto; and
		(ii)	The license granted to Acquired Party and all sublicenses (if any) granted to the Acquired Party's remaining Affiliates shall automatically become limited to the same or similar business scope engaged in by said Acquired Party prior to said acquisition.
	(b)	If, after the Effective Date, a Party or any of its Affiliates (the "Acquiring Party") either acquires an entity or acquires substantially all of the assets from an entity, and said entity is, immediately prior to the date of acquisition, licensed by the other Party hereto (the "Licensor") under one or more patents that are also licensed under this Agreement (the "Licensed Patents") through an existing agreement pursuant to which royalties or other payments are made by said entity to Licensor, then the license and other rights granted herein to the Acquiring Party with respect to said Licensed Patents shall apply to products manufactured by said entity or through the use of said assets, provided that such royalties or other payments shall continue to be made by the Acquiring Party or said entity to the Licensor with respect to such products notwithstanding that the Acquiring Party may have been licensed for the same product(s) before the acquisition.
	(c)	If, after the Effective Date, a Party (the "Transferring Party") either transfers a product line to a third party without transferring an Affiliate to said third party or spins-off an Affiliate (either by disposing of it to a third party or in some other manner reducing ownership or control so that the spun-off entity is no longer an Affiliate), and if such transfer or spin-off includes at least one marketable product in a product line and tangible assets having a net value of at least twenty five million United States dollars ($25,000,000.00), then after written request to the other Party hereto jointly by the Transferring Party and either such third party in the case of a transfer or such ex-Affiliate in the case of a spin off, and where, in either case, such request is within sixty (60) days following the transfer or spin off, the other party hereto shall grant a royalty-free license (under the same terms as the license granted to the Transferring Party herein) under its Licensed Patents for the field (as such field is defined between the Transferring Party and the other Party or ex-Affiliate) of such product line to such third party or such ex-Affiliate, (the "Recipient") provided that:
		(i)	such field shall not be defined more broadly than appropriate to cover the particular product line being transferred or spun off, including extensions thereto based on the same technology;
		(ii)	the license granted shall be limited in the twelve (12) months immediately following such transfer or spin off to a volume of licensed products having an aggregate selling price equal to no more than the aggregate selling prices of such products by said one party in the twelve (12) months preceding such transfer or spin off plus ten percent (10%); and shall be limited, in each of the successive twelve-month periods following such transfer or spin off, to a volume of licensed products having an aggregate selling price equal to no more than the limit for the immediately preceding twelve-month period plus ten percent (10%);
		(iii)	the Recipient shall grant to such other Party a right to obtain a license (under the same terms, conditions and restrictions as the right granted to IHTC pursuant to section 2.2 hereof) under up to five Recipient Patents for all products licensed herein to such other party on the date of the product line transfer or spin off.  "Recipient Patents" shall mean all patents throughout the world under which, at any time commencing with the date of the product line transfer or spin off, the Recipient or any of its Affiliates has the right to grant such licenses.
		(iv)	this Section 2.4(b), Section 3 "Mutual Releases", and Section 5 "Royalty" shall be omitted from the license granted to the Recipient; and
		(v)	the license granted to the Recipient shall terminate if the license granted to the Transferring Party terminates or is terminated for any reason.
		Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(c), the transfer by one party of substantially all of its assets to any third party shall not be considered to be a transfer of a product line or a spin off of a Subsidiary under this Section 2.4(c), and the other party shall have no obligation to grant a license under its Licensed Patents to such third party as a result of such transfer.
2.5	Assignments
	Except as provided herein, neither Party shall assign any of its rights (other than the right to receive payments) or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement.  Any attempt to do so shall be void.  However, a Party which undergoes reorganization may assign such rights and delegate such obligations to its legal successor, provided that, after the reorganization, the successor and its Affiliates will have essentially the same assets as such Party and its Affiliates had prior to the reorganization.
2.6	Limits on Have-Made Rights and Patent Laundering
	(a)	Any "have-made" rights granted under this Agreement shall only apply when the designs, working drawings, and/or specifications for the "have-made" products originated with or were contracted for by the Party licensed under this Agreement, Subsidiary or an Affiliate thereof.
	(b)	Any rights granted under this Agreement do not cover manufacturing activities that either Party, or its Affiliates, undertakes solely as a patent foundry for a third party. This limitation applies only to "made" and "have-made" rights granted under this Section 2 and no others.
2.7	Upon payment by ACER of the royalty called for by Section 5 hereunder, in respect of Licensed Products, IHTC grants to ACER, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates and its distributors, ACER Manufacturers, and ACER Customers, mediate and immediate, a royalty-free immunity from suit with respect to the Licensed Products per se under the IHTC Patents.
2.8	With respect to any Licensed Products sold or otherwise transferred by ACER, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, IHTC grants to ACER's distributors and ACER Customers, mediate and immediate, that have procured or obtained such Licensed Products for use or resale with any other item, a royalty-free immunity from suit under the IHTC Patents to use, lease, export, import, sale or otherwise transfer such Licensed Products.
Section 3.		Mutual Releases
3.1	Upon receipt of the payment amount in Section 5.1, IHTC, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, agrees to release, acquit and forever discharge ACER, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates, ACER Customers and ACER Manufacturers from and against (1) any and all claims, known or unknown, with regard to any patents throughout the world owned by IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates that could be asserted as of the Effective Date by IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates against ACER, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates, ACER Customers or ACER Manufacturers and (2) any damages or other remedies flowing from such claims.
3.2	ACER, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges IHTC and its Affiliates from and against (1) any and all claims, known or unknown, that could be asserted as of the Effective Date of this Agreement by ACER against IHTC or any of its Affiliates with respect to any patent for which IHTC secures a license from ACER pursuant to the procedure set forth in section 2.2 hereof and (2) any damages or other remedies flowing from such claims.
3.3	The Parties agree that the release granted in this Section 3 shall not extend to any obligation arising from this Agreement.
Section 4.		Non-Suit
4.1	IHTC, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, hereby covenants not to xxx ACER, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates under any patents which are (i) owned or controlled by IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates or may hereafter become owned or controlled or (ii) for which IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates has the right to xxx, either individually or collectively.
4.2	IHTC, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, hereby covenants not to xxx ACER Customers for their purchase or distribution of Licensed Products or ACER Manufacturers for their manufacture or production of Licensed Products under any patents which are (i) owned or controlled by IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates or may hereafter become owned or controlled or (ii) for which IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates has the right to xxx, either individually or collectively.  IHTC reserves the right, which ACER acknowledges, to assert the IHTC Patents against Intel-based computer systems made, used, imported, or offered for sale by Apple, NEC, Toshiba, and/or their Affiliates or Subsidiaries prior to the expiration of the last to expire of the IHTC Patents, even if such systems were manufactured by ACER, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates.
4.3	IHTC, its Affiliates and its Subsidiaries, shall not assign or grant any right under any patents which are (i) owned or controlled by IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates or may hereafter become owned or controlled or (ii) for which IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates has the right to xxx, either individually or collectively, prior to the expiration of this covenant not to xxx set forth in Section 4.4, to any third party ("Purchaser") unless such assignment or grant is made subject to the covenants not to xxx granted in this Agreement.  In the event that the Purchaser sues ACER, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates, ACER Customers or ACER Manufacturers for alleged infringement by Licensed Products under any patents covered by this non-suit provision, IHTC, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates will agree to indemnify, defend, hold harmless ACER, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates, ACER Customers and ACER Manufacturers against any and all losses, liability, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) for which they may become liable in any action, claim or proceeding stemming from a claim of intellectual property infringement.
4.4	The covenants not xxx set forth in this Section 4 shall expire on the expiration date of the last to expire patent which is (i) owned or controlled by IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates or may hereafter become owned or controlled, or (ii) for which IHTC, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates has the right to xxx, either individually or collectively, and in either case which has an effective filing date, or claiming priority to an application having an effective filing date, prior to January 1, 2016.  This covenant not to xxx shall survive past the term of this Agreement set forth in Section 6.1.

Other than income taxes, withholding taxes, or taxes of a similar nature imposed on IHTC, ACER shall bear and pay all taxes (including, without limitation, sales and value added taxes) imposed by the national government (including any political subdivision thereof) of any country in which ACER is doing business, as the result of the existence of this Agreement or the exercise of rights hereunder.
