confidentiality obligations:
8.2 HSNS, as Recipient, agrees at all times to protect and
preserve the confidentiality of the Products, Documentation,
and all other Confidential Information of LTD, as Disclosing
Party. HSNS agrees not to permit or authorize access to, or
disclosure of, the Products, Documentation, or any other
Confidential Information of LTD to any person or entity other

8.3 LTD, as Recipient, agrees at all times to protect and
preserve the confidentiality of all Confidential Information
of HSNS, as Disclosing Party. LTD agrees not to permit or
authorize access to, or disclosure of, the Confidential
Information of HSNS to any person or entity other than

to enable LTD to perform LTD's obligations under this
Agreement and applicable License Agreements and Sublicense
Agreements. LTD may disclose necessary portions of the
Confidential Information of HSNS to governmental regulatory
authorities if such disclosure is required for compliance
with applicable laws, but LTD shall notify HSNS of the
applicable legal requirements before such disclosure occurs
and LTD shall use its best efforts to help HSNS obtain
protection as may be available to preserve the
confidentiality of such information following disclosure.
8.4 Prior to disposal of any media or materials that contain any
part of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party,
the Recipient shall obliterate or otherwise destroy all code,
instructions, commentary, or further evidence of Confidential
Information, for example, by erasing, incinerating, or
shredding such materials.
8.5 The restrictions in this Section 8 are in addition to any
other restrictions on use and disclosure set forth elsewhere
in this Agreement (for example, additional restrictions are
set forth in Section 2.1(a) regarding limited disclosure of
the Products to prospective End Users for evaluation
purposes).
8.6 The parties agree that money damages would not be a
sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 8 and that
either party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, as a remedy for
any such breach by the other party. Such remedies shall not
be deemed exclusive remedies, but shall be in addition to all
other remedies available at law or in equity.
9. FEES AND CHARGES; RECORDS AND AUDIT RIGHTS.
9.1 HSNS shall collect all license and other fees for the
Products under License Agreements and Sublicense Agreements
from the End Users and Authorized Sublicensees. HSNS shall
use its best efforts to ensure that LTD receives the benefits
contemplated by this Agreement and will not price Products in
a
8
9
manner to minimize, circumvent, evade or attempt to avoid the
payment of royalties to LTD.
9.2 For the Rights granted hereunder, HSNS shall pay LTD as
follows:
(a) Upfront Payment
(1) HSNS will pay upfront $3,000,000 for this
Agreement. The $3,000,000 will be paid by HSNS in
installments of $750,000 over four months with the first
installment due upon the execution of this Agreement and each
remaining installment due at the end of each successive one
month period thereafter. This Agreement will not be effective
until the first $750,000 payment is made. Except for the
first payment, with respect to these payments, there is a
thirty day cure period before this Agreement terminates, but
interest at 8% per annum will accrue on any late payments.
The $3 Million advance payment is only recoverable from or
against 20% of the royalties as specified in Section
9.2(b)(2) hereof.
(2) After the initial three year term of this
Agreement, HSNS will have the option to renew this Agreement
for an upfront payment per year repayable against royalties
of the greater of (i) $2.5 Million or (ii) 15% of the prior
year's Royalty payments to LTD under this Agreement. This
renewal upfront payment will be paid in six equal monthly
installments, with the first payment being made at the
beginning of the additional term. This upfront payment will
be repaid pursuant to the same formula (i.e., the 70/30 of
net) used in the repayment of the initial $3 Million advance
as stated in Section 9.2(b)(2) hereof.
(b) Royalties.
(1) LTD will receive seven and a half percent
(7 1/2%) of the Adjusted Gross Revenue generated relating to,
incorporating, or involving, Summus Products by HSNS outside
of the OEM market. The full amount of this seven and one-half
percent (7 1/2%) will be paid to LTD on a monthly basis, and
there will be no deductions from such royalties.
(2) Royalties for sales of the Streaming
Product in the OEM market will be divided 50/50 of net, with
each party recouping direct costs as documented. Until HSNS
recoups the initial $3 Million payment for the Agreement set
forth in Section 9.2(a)(1) above, the royalty payment shall
be split 70/30 of net, with LTD receiving 30%, and the other
20% which otherwise would be payable to LTD being applied to
pay down the $3 Million. The terms and conditions of any OEM
sale not involving the Streaming
9
10
Product in which HSNS has involvement, including the
appropriate compensation for HSNS and LTD, will be determined
through reasonable good faith negotiations between LTD and
HSNS on a case by case basis.
All required payments of royalties hereunder shall be due and
payable monthly no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of
each month following the immediately preceding month.
9.3 HSNS shall further pay LTD for any services rendered by LTD
in accordance with any agreement reached pursuant to Section
4 hereof. Any payments for such services shall be due and
payable by HSNS to LTD within fifteen (15) days from the date
LTD issues an invoice to HSNS for such services, or as may
otherwise be agreed to in writing by HSNS and LTD.
9.4 HSNS shall retain accurate records in accordance with sound
accounting practices to support all payments owed to LTD
hereunder. HSNS will provide LTD, on a monthly basis, a
written account, certified by an authorized officer of HSNS,
of all amounts which may be due to LTD hereunder, which
account shall show in detail the calculations and any
relevant materials or information required to determine such
amounts. This written account shall accompany the payment by
HSNS of such amounts. To the extent no such payment is owed
for a particular month, the written account shall be provided
to LTD no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the month
following the immediately preceding month showing in detail
why no payment is owed. During the first three months of this
Agreement, in addition to the general rights set forth in
Section 9.5 (and not in limitation thereof), LTD and HSNS
agree that Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxx (or if replaced his successor)
will participate in the monthly reconciliation for HSNS and
will have access, on a confidential basis, to all of HSNS's
records and information relating thereto, including the
records and information of its affiliates. As part of this
process, HSNS and LTD will agree on appropriate procedures to
protect LTD hereunder and to ensure LTD receives appropriate
payment hereunder. During these three months, HSNS and LTD
shall agree upon the appropriate form of the written account
contemplated by this Section 9.4, as well as what materials
or other information should accompany such account.
9.5 During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2)
years after any termination of this Agreement, upon fifteen
(15) business days advance notice by LTD, HSNS shall allow
the employees of LTD (which shall include Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxx (or
if replaced his successor) and only such employees of LTD
which such officer may reasonably need to provide support and
assistance), an independent accountant appointed by LTD and
any other experts or advisors of LTD (provided, however, that
there shall not be more than three (3) people at
10
11
any time on HSNS's premises) access, at all reasonable times
during normal business hours, and on a confidential basis, to
HSNS's business records and information, including the
records and information of its affiliates, for purposes of
verifying the royalties and the performance of HSNS's other
obligations under this Agreement or the Letter Agreement. The
cost of any audit by any such employees, accountants, experts
and advisors shall be borne by LTD unless the royalties
previously paid by HSNS for any period are less than
ninety-four percent (94%) of the royalties determined by such
employees, accountants, experts or advisors as payable for
that period, in which event HSNS shall immediately reimburse
to LTD the costs of such audit. Unless LTD provides
legitimate business reasons to HSNS in writing, (i) after the
initial three month period described in Section 9.4, LTD
shall not be entitled, during the next two (2) year period,
to the above described access more than quarterly, and (ii)
after the two (2) year period described in (i), LTD shall not
be entitled thereafter to the above described access more
than semiannually. Upon the reasonable request of LTD, HSNS
agrees to modify its procedures and methods of operation to
best ensure that LTD properly receives the benefits
contemplated under this Agreement.
9.6 HSNS shall collect, report and pay to the relevant taxing
authority, and indemnify LTD for any liability relating to,
all applicable excise, property, VAT, sales and use, or
similar taxes, any withholding requirement in addition to or
in lieu thereof, and any customs, import, export or other
duties, levies, tariffs, taxes, or other similar charges that
are imposed by any jurisdiction for the transactions
contemplated herein (excluding any taxes based on the net
income of LTD).
9.7 In addition to any other rights or remedies available to a
party hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the other party shall pay interest on any amounts
past due at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
10. LIMITED WARRANTY AND REMEDY; INFRINGEMENT AND OBLIGATION TO DEFEND.
10.1 LTD warrants that, for a period of ninety (90) days from the
date that a Product is licensed to an End User or an
Authorized Sublicensee, LTD will correct the computer
programs of the most current edition of a Product if such
Product fails to operate in accordance with the Documentation
if LTD is provided written notice within such ninety (90) day
period. This limited warranty is the sole and exclusive
remedy in the event of the discovery of any such failure or
nonconformity in any Product. LTD makes no warranty that
operation of any Product will be uninterrupted or error free.
This limited
11
12
warranty shall not apply to (i) changes or modifications made
to any Product other than those made by LTD, or (ii) any
Product used with hardware or operating environments other
than those approved in writing by LTD.
10.2 LTD agrees to indemnify and defend HSNS, its shareholders,
officers, directors and employees and agents and hold them
harmless from and against all claims, and related
liabilities, damages and expenses, arising from the actual or
alleged infringement by any Product of a United States patent
or copyright; provided that HSNS notifies LTD in writing
within five (5) business days of the receipt by HSNS of any
such claim or notice of any such claim and permits LTD upon
request, and at LTD's cost and expense, to assume and control
the defense for settlement thereof. HSNS agrees to cooperate
with LTD in every reasonable manner in the defense of such
claim. In defending or settling any such claim LTD may elect
to (1) obtain the right of continued use of such Product or
part thereof, which is alleged to be infringing or (2)
replace or modify such Product, or part thereof, so as to
avoid such claim of infringement and HSNS will cease use of
the edition of the Product, or part thereof, which was
replaced or modified. LTD will not be obligated to defend or
settle any such claim of infringement resulting from HSNS's
or any other parties additions to, changes in, or
modifications of a Product, or resulting from HSNS's use of
any Product in combination with materials other than the
Third Party Materials.
The foregoing provisions constitute LTD's sole liability, and
HSNS's sole recourse, in the event of any infringement of
third-party rights by the Products.
11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND ASSURANCES.
11.1 EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 10 HEREOF, LTD MAKES AND HSNS
RECEIVES NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND (WHETHER, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, OR WHETHER IN ANY PROVISION

reasonable attorneys' fees) (a) asserted by any End User or any Authorized
Sublicensee in excess of the limitations set forth in this Agreement or the

Agreement and the Letter Agreement to an Equivalent Entity.
For purposes of this Section, an Equivalent Entity is an
entity the ownership of which is not materially different

The other party shall have the right to request, and the

information reasonably necessary to confirm and establish
that any proposed transferee is an Equivalent Entity.
15.2 In addition, HSNS may transfer this Agreement and the Letter
Agreement in connection with a sale of HSNS provided that (a)
the transferee agrees in writing to assume all the
obligations of HSNS hereunder and to be bound by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement; (b) the assignee is an
entity that is capable of performing under this Agreement and
is not a direct competitor of LTD; and (c) LTD receives a
nonrefundable cash payment of the greater of (i) $10 Million
or (ii) 15% of the prior year's royalties paid under this

15.3 Except as set forth in this Section, neither this Agreement

of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
16. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
16.1 The parties shall in the performance of this Agreement comply
with all applicable laws, executive orders, regulations,
ordinances, rules, proclamations, demands and requisitions of
national governments or of any state, local or other
governmental authority which may now or hereafter govern
performance hereunder.

to the marketing, distribution or licensing of the Products,

it is acknowledged and agreed that neither LTD nor HSNS may

directly or indirectly from LTD, to any country or entity
which is the subject of any prohibition imposed by the U.S.
Export Administration Act of 1979, U.S. Executive Orders, the
U.S. Department of Commerce, and the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. HSNS understands that, if such a prohibition
applies and an export license cannot be obtained with
reasonable effort, the disclosure or delivery of the Products
and Documentation may not occur. To assure compliance, HSNS
agrees to notify LTD of each prospective End User as soon as
possible so that LTD can evaluate whether prohibitions may
apply or export licenses may be available. HSNS shall be
responsible for all of the costs to obtain any export
licenses.
17. INSURANCE. Each party shall include the other party as a named
beneficiary for purposes of any product liability or general liability
insurance that may cover claims or liabilities with which the other
party could be charged because of personal or property damage or
injuries suffered by any person or entity, or any other liability,
resulting from the Products or the use or license thereof. Each party
shall provide the other party with evidence satisfactory to the other
party of such insurance.
18. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Each party hereto shall be and remain an
independent contractor; nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute
the parties as partners, and neither party shall have any authority to
act, or attempt to act, or represent itself, directly or by
implication, as an agent of the other or in any manner assume or
create, or attempt to assume or create, any obligation on behalf of or
in the name of the other, nor shall either by deemed the agent or
employee of the other.
19. SEVERABILITY. If any court should find any particular provision of
this Agreement void, illegal, or unenforceable, then that provision
shall be regarded as stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
20. PUBLICITY; ANNOUNCEMENTS. Neither party shall, except as may be
required by law or federal regulation, or except with the prior
written permission of the other party, publicly advertise or otherwise
disclose the terms or conditions of this Agreement or the Letter

business relationships, shall be approved in writing by Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
or his written designee prior to their being made or issued. If any
announcement is properly sent to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx'x attention at LTD, and
he does not respond within two business days, then HSNS shall be free
to make such announcement without his written approval as set
16
17
forth in the information provided to Bjorn. All such announcements
shall be accurate and complete and take into consideration the
business and other concerns of LTD.
21. NOTICE OF DELAY. Whenever any occurrence is delaying or threatens to
delay either party's timely performance under this Agreement, that
party shall promptly give notice thereof, including all relevant
information with respect thereto, to the other party.
22. GOVERNING LAW: COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and the Letter Agreement

laws of the United States of America and the State of South Carolina,
without regard to conflict of law provisions. This Agreement is
entered into in the United States of America, all funds shall be paid
to LTD in U.S. dollars in the United States of America, and nothing
herein shall be construed to require LTD to do business or maintain
any office of business establishment outside the United States of
America. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
23. NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement
to the contrary, the End Users and Authorized Sublicensees of HSNS
shall not have any right or otherwise be entitled to assert any claim
against LTD under this Agreement as a third party beneficiary or
otherwise, and LTD shall have no duty or responsibility in connection
with this Agreement to any such End User or Authorized Sublicensee.
24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; WAIVER.
24.1 This Agreement together with the Letter Agreement,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all
previous proposals, negotiations, representations,
commitments, writings, agreements and other communications,
both oral and written, between the parties. In this
connection, the parties agree that this Agreement and the
Letter Agreement supersede that certain Letter Memorandum
Agreement between LTD, Summus Technologies, Inc. and Xxxx
Xxxxxxxx Direct, Inc. and such agreement is hereby
terminated. All Addenda, attachments and exhibits referred to
as accompanying this Agreement are hereby incorporated in and
made part of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be
released, discharged, changed or modified except by an
instrument in writing signed by a duly authorized
representative of each of the parties (other than changes to
the Exhibits by LTD as expressly contemplated by this
Agreement). The headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or
interpretation hereof.
17
18
24.2 A waiver by either party of its rights hereunder
shall not be binding unless contained in a writing signed by
an authorized representative of the party waiving its rights.
The non-enforcement or waiver of any provision on one
occasion shall not constitute a waiver of such provision on
any other occasions unless expressly so agreed in writing. It
is agreed that no usage of trade or other regular practice or
method of dealing between the parties hereto shall be used to
modify, interpret, supplement or alter in any manner the
terms of this Agreement or the Letter Agreement.
25. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. In addition to the rights and obligations which
survive as expressly provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, the Sections and
Addenda which by their nature should survive (including, without limitation,
Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 22 and 23) shall
survive and continue after any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 26, the
license rights granted under Section 2.1(b) shall also survive any such
termination as well as any other provisions which by their nature should
survive to give effect to the responsibilities, obligations and rights of the
parties relating to such license rights.
26. TERMINATION.
26.1 If any payment required by Section 9.2(a)(1) hereof is not
timely made (taking into consideration any applicable cure
period and required notice relating thereto) this Agreement
may be terminated by LTD. In addition, unless a renewal
payment is made in accordance with Section 9.2(a)(2) hereof,
this Agreement shall terminate on February 23, 2002 (or, if
renewed, following the initial three year term of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate when an upfront
renewal payment that is due in accordance with Section
9.2(a)(2) is not made).
26.2 Without limiting Section 26.1 regarding LTD's ability to
terminate this Agreement, the exclusive Rights granted under
this Agreement may be terminated by LTD, and shall become
nonexclusive rights, if HSNS fails to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or under the Letter Agreement in any
material respect; provided, however, that LTD notifies HSNS
of such breach and gives HSNS, in the case of a failure to
make any payment required under this Agreement or under the
Letter Agreement thirty (30) days, and in all other cases
ninety (90) days, to cure such breach.
26.3 Any rights under this Section 26 are in addition to and

under this Agreement or at law in respect of any breach of
this Agreement.
