2
Technology in Source Code form, solely for the purpose(s) of porting, developing, compiling to binary form and supporting Product(s), Licensee Software, Value Added Open Packages, and Licensee-implemented modifications to the Platform Dependent Part. Licensee shall have no right to modify the interface or the functional behavior of the Java Runtime Interpreter or the Applet Classes and explicitly shall not have the right to modify or create a subset of the AAPI. |
Except as specified in Section 2.1b (iii), Licensee shall have no right to distribute the Source Code of the Technology or of Derivative Works, whether alone or as incorporated with Product(s), Licensee Software, Value Added Open Packages, Licensee-implemented modifications to the Platform Dependent Part, or Upgrades. |
b. Porting. |
(i) Licensee may port the Platform Dependent Part to platforms other than those specified in Exhibit C. Licensee may use the Source Code of the Shared Part of the Java Runtime Interpreter to develop Products, *****, and Licensee-implemented modifications to the Platform Dependent Part, but if it uses such Source Code, it must use all of it without modification. |
(ii) SUN will work with Licensee to identify any changes which are necessary to the Shared Part of the Technology to allow porting, optimization, or other platform-specific modifications thereto in accordance with the procedure specified below: |
Licensee may at any time during the term of this Agreement provide SUN with a detailed written request that a specifically identified portion of the Shared Part of the Technology be modified, including the reason(s) for such proposed modification and support for their belief that compatibility will not be compromised by such modification. SUN will respond to Licensee’s request *****, indicating whether, in SUN’s sole discretion, the portion of the Shared Part that is the subject of Licensee’s request will be moved into the Platform Dependent Part of the Technology. If SUN informs Licensee that such portions will be moved from the Shared Part, Licensee may make such modifications, subject to its obligation to maintain compatibility hereunder. |
If SUN determines that such portions may not be moved from the Shared Part, SUN may offer to make the modifications to the Shared Part in a timely fashion, or authorize Licensee to make such modifications. If Licensee makes such modifications, the changes can be made only for the purpose and platform specified, and only as long as compatibility with the Virtual Machine specification and with then-current test suites (or a new test suite created expressly for such modifications) is maintained. Any additional test suites which may be provided by SUN shall not count against the limitation of four (4) test suites per year specified in Section 2.4. The changes shall be considered Derivative Works, and SUN shall have no obligation to incorporate such changes into any future releases of the Technology. |
(iii) Licensee may sublicense and deliver a copy of the Source Code of the Technology to third parties only in association with the delivery and sublicensing of Licensee Products, and solely for the purpose of enabling such third party to port or localize Products for Licensee. Any such sublicense shall be made subject to terms and conditions relating to ownership, use, and confidentiality of the Technology substantially similar to those contained herein. |
(iv) Licensee may localize the Technology to support distribution of Licensee's First Customer Shipment (“FCS”) versions of the Product(s). Licensee's modifications for the purpose of localization shall be considered Derivative Works. The parties understand that SUN intends to support localization in the Technology, and Licensee agrees to follow SUN’s standard localization strategy. |
c. Bug Fixes. Licensee will inform SUN promptly, and no later than it informs any third party, of any bugs in and bug fixes for the Technology, and Licensee will make such bug fixes available to SUN free of all restrictions promptly as they are identified. |
***** | Confidential treatment has been requested for the redacted portions. The confidential redacted portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

a. SUN hereby grants and Licensee hereby accepts a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid up license to use an unlimited number of copies of the Technology in binary form, for Licensee’s internal use during the term of this Agreement. |
b. Worldwide Distribution. Licensee may distribute the Product(s), Licensee Software, Value Added Open Packages, Licensee-implemented modifications to the Platform Dependent Part, Upgrades and associated Documentation provided to Licensee by SUN in binary form worldwide and may use such distribution channels as Licensee deems appropriate, including distributors, ISVs, resellers, dealers and sales representatives (collectively, “Distributors”), provided, however, that such Distributors shall not modify the Technology or any portions thereof. |
2.3 Documentation.
a. SUN hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee hereby accepts, under SUN’s Intellectual Property Rights, a non-exclusive, non-transferable license (i) to use and distribute the unmodified Documentation, (ii) to use and modify the Documentation to create technically accurate unaltered subsets of the documentation which shall include all the relevant SUN copyrights, notices, and marks, (iii) to translate the Documentation into other languages for use and distribution with non-U.S. versions of Product(s), and (iv) to distribute such modified and/or translated Documentation. Licensee may also use a pointer to the SUN Documentation on the Internet in connection with distribution of the Product(s). |
2.4 Compatibility
a. Java Compatibility |
(i) Initially, the AAPI shall be that which is reflected in the Technology as identified in Exhibit A, by the bytecode specification in the Documentation entitled “Java Virtual Machine Specification” and by the Java language specification in the Documentation entitled “Java Language Specification.” Subsequently, the AAPI may be modified by SUN and SUN will give Licensee written notice thereof. |
(ii) From time to time, SUN shall supply Licensee with test suites at no cost for validating that the portion of Licensee’s Product which interprets Java bytecodes complies with the then-current specification of the AAPI as defined by SUN as of the date of that test suite (“Java Test Suite”). Without the consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or denied, SUN shall not supply more than four (4) versions of such Java Test Suites in any one (1) calendar year. SUN shall use reasonable efforts to review any changes to such Java Test Suites as much in advance as possible with Licensee, but failure of SUN to do so shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not invalidate any such Java Test Suite supplied by SUN. Changes to Java Test Suites to correct errors shall not be counted against the limitation to four (4). |
(iii) Each revision of a Product released by Licensee must pass the Java Test Suite that was current one hundred twenty (120) days before First Customer Shipment of such Product. Licensee shall not release or distribute to any third party the portion of Licensee’s Product that interprets Java bytecodes, which does not successfully pass such Java Test Suite. If Licensee provides SUN with a copy of an existing publicly-available Applet which Licensee in good faith believes cannot be made to operate using best engineering efforts under any Java Runtime Interpreter which successfully passes the Java Test Suite, then Licensee shall be released from compatibility with the minimum portion of the Java Test Suite necessary to cause that application to be able to operate until such time as SUN provides to Licensee a corrected or new Java Test Suite, and a demonstration and technical description adequate for implementation of a system which both runs the application and such Java Test Suite. |
(iv) Licensee shall promptly announce and use best efforts to ship Product(s) based on Upgrades to the Technology (excluding solely HotJava-specific Upgrades) as delivered by |
4
SUN during the term of this Agreement. Licensee shall use best efforts to correct any incompatibility with the AAPI, as determined by the applicable Java Test Suite, which arises from integrating such Upgrade, whether such incompatibility is detected before or after FCS of the affected Product(s). |
(v) Branding and Trademarks. Licensee shall use a logo specified by SUN that indicates compatibility with the Java Test Suites (the “Java Compatibility Logo”) in a trademark manner on all Licensee Product(s) distributed hereunder. The terms and conditions governing the parties’ agreement as to trademarks, logos, and branding shall be governed by the Trademark License entered into herewith, attached as Exhibit G hereto, and incorporated by reference herein. |
b. HotJava Compatibility |
(i) The HotJava Browser code can only be used and/or shipped with Java implementations that are AAPI compliant, as tested by the then-current Java Test Suite from SUN, under the same rules as described in Sections 2.4(a). |
(ii) Any works derived from the HotJava Browser source which has the capability to browse the World Wide Web must support execution of AAPI-compliant applications using the standard Applet tag as defined in Exhibit F. |
(iii) From time to time SUN shall supply Licensee with test suites at no cost for validating that software which is derived from the HotJava Browser is compatible with the then-current base implementation of the HotJava Browser as defined by SUN as of the date of that test suite (“HotJava Test Suite”). Without the consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or denied, SUN shall not supply more than four (4) versions of such Test Suites in any one (1) calendar year. SUN shall use reasonable efforts to review any changes to such HotJava Test Suites as much in advance as possible with Licensee, but failure of SUN to do shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not invalidate any such HotJava Test Suite supplied by SUN. Changes to HotJava Test Suites to correct errors shall not be counted against the limitation to four (4). |
(iv) Licensee shall make reasonable commercial efforts to conform any work derived from the HotJava Browser to the HotJava Test Suite most recently supplied by SUN. Licensee shall be allowed to use the logo specified by SUN that indicates compatibility with the HotJava Test Suites (the “HotJava Compatibility Logo”) on derived work only if it passes such HotJava Test Suites and if Licensee commits its intent to conform to future such test suites. Licensee may create and distribute Product(s) derived from the HotJava Browser which do not pass the HotJava Test Suite, provided that the HotJava Compatibility Logo is not used in conjunction with such Product(s), and such Product(s) are Java Compatible as specified in Section 2.4(a). |
c. Compiler Compatibility |
(i) Any Product(s) that performs compiling function must continue to compile the complete Java language as described in the Java Language Specification, and be able to generate fully-interpretable machine-independent bytecodes for the Java Virtual Machine. |
(ii) From time to time, SUN shall supply Licensee with test suites at no cost for validating that the portion of Licensee’s Product which interprets Java bytecodes complies with the then-current specification of the AAPI as defined by SUN as of the date of that test suite (“Java Language Test Suite”). Without the consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or denied, SUN shall not supply more than four (4) versions of such Java Language Test Suites in any one (1) calendar year. SUN shall use reasonable efforts to review any changes to such Java Language Test Suites as much in advance as possible with Licensee, but failure of SUN to do so shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not invalidate any such Java Language Test Suite supplied by SUN. Changes to Java Language Test Suites to correct errors shall not be counted against the limitation to four (4). |
5
(iii) Licensee shall promptly announce and use best efforts to ship Product(s) based on Upgrades to the Technology as delivered by SUN during the term of this Agreement. Licensee shall use best efforts to correct any incompatibility with the AAPI, as determined by the applicable Java Language Test Suite, which arises from integrating such Upgrade, whether such incompatibility is detected before or after FCS of the affected Product(s). |
2.5. Value Added Open Packages
(i) Licensee shall deliver to SUN free of all restrictions the specification for the application programming interface for Value Added Open Package as early as is reasonably possible but in no event later than the date on which it first provides such specification or an implementation thereof to any third party. Included in such specification shall be an appropriate test suite sufficiently detailed to allow SUN and third parties to produce compatible implementations of the specification. Licensee shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to clarify and correct the specification or the test suite upon written request by SUN and failure to do so within sixty (60) days after such request shall constitute breach of this Agreement. |
(ii) Licensee shall notify SUN as soon as it has made any general disclosure (i.e., not subject to confidentiality obligations) of such specification, or first releases a Product implementing such specification, after which SUN shall have no obligation of confidentiality whatsoever with respect to such specification, and Licensee agrees that it will take no steps whatsoever to prevent SUN or any third party from creating implementations based on such specification, provided that such implementations do not violate Licensee’s patents, copyrights (except that Licensee agrees that it will not enforce copyright claims that relate to interface or compatibility) or trade secrets in the implementation of the Value Added Open Packages. |
(iii) Licensee shall confine the names of all Value Added Open Packages to names beginning with “COM.Licensee” or such other convention as SUN may reasonably require and shall not modify or extend the names of public class or interface declarations whose names begin with “java”, “COM.sun” or their equivalents in any subsequent naming convention. Licensee will make reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that other commercial software packages which it redistributes conform to this convention. |
(iv) Licensee hereby grants and SUN hereby accepts a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid-up license to use an unlimited number of copies of the Value Added Open Packages, in binary form, for SUN’s internal use, such use including but not limited to demonstration rights. Licensee agrees to reasonably negotiate in good faith with SUN the terms of a commercial license for the source code of the Value Added Open Packages. The parties agree that the fees and other terms and conditions of this Agreement are a reasonable standard against which to judge such a license on a proportionate basis comparing the scope and complexity of the portion of the Value Added Open Package being licensed to the scope and complexity of the Technology. |

The parties agree that the annual support fee specified in Exhibit C3 shall be waived during the term of this Agreement only to the extent Licensee provides equivalent levels of engineering support and expertise to SUN in the areas of Windows programming and OLE development.
4.3 Taxes. All payments required by this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars, are exclusive of taxes, and Licensee agrees to bear and be responsible for the payment of all such taxes, including, but not limited to, all sales, use, rental receipt, personal property or other taxes and their equivalents which may be levied or assessed in connection with this Agreement (excluding only taxes based on Sun’s net income).
4.4 Records. Licensee shall maintain account books and records consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles appropriate to Licensee’s domicile, as may be in effect from time to time, sufficient to allow the correctness of the royalties required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement to be determined.
4.5 Audit Rights. SUN shall have the right to audit such accounts upon reasonable prior notice. The right to audit may be exercised through an independent auditor of SUN’s choice (the “Auditor”). The Auditor shall be bound to keep confidential the details of the business affairs of Licensee and to limit disclosure of the results of any audit to only the sufficiency of the accounts and the amount, if any, of any additional payment or other payment adjustment that should be made. Such audits shall not occur more than once each year (unless discrepancies are discovered in excess of the five percent (5%) threshold set forth in Section 4.6, in which case two consecutive quarters per year may be audited). Except as set forth in Section 4.6 below, SUN shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the exercise of its rights to audit.
4.6 Payment Errors. In the event that any errors in payments shall be determined, such errors shall be corrected by appropriate adjustment in payment for the quarterly period during which the error is discovered. In the event of an underpayment of more than five percent (5%) of the proper amount owed, upon such underpayment being properly determined by the Auditor, Licensee shall reimburse SUN the amount of said underpayment and the reasonable charges of the Auditor in performing the audit that identified said underpayment, and interest on the overdue amount at the maximum allowable interest rate from the date of accrual of such obligation.

8.1 The parties acknowledge that the Technology is in pre-release form and that SUN shall not be liable for any defects or deficiencies in the Technology or in any Product, process or design created by, with or in connection with the Technology whether or not such defects and/or deficiencies are caused, in whole or in part, by defects or deficiencies in the design or implementation of the Technology. Upon FCS of the Technology by SUN, Sun will provide to Licensee a limited indemnity as described in Sections 8.2-8.5 below.
8.2 SUN will defend, at its expense, any legal proceeding brought against Licensee, to the extent it is based on a claim that use of the FCS version of the Technology (“FCS Technology”) is a direct infringement of a Berne Convention copyright, and will pay all damages awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction attributable to such claim, provided that Licensee: (i) provides notice of the claim promptly to SUN; (ii) gives SUN sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; (iii) provides to SUN, at SUN’s expense, all available information, assistance and authority to defend; and (iv) has not compromised or settled such proceeding without SUN’s prior written consent. In the event that Licensee receives any claim from a third party concerning the infringement of patents of such third party in connection with Licensee’s use of the Technology, SUN shall cooperate with Licensee in good faith in accordance with SUN’s reasonable business judgement, in the defense of such claim upon written request by Licensee.
8.3 Should any FCS Technology or any portion thereof become, or in SUN’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement for which indemnity is provided under Section 8.2, SUN shall, as Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy, elect to: (i) obtain for Licensee the right to use such FCS Technology; (ii) replace or modify the FCS Technology so that it becomes non-infringing; or (iii) accept the return of the Technology and grant Licensee a refund of the License Fee, as depreciated on a five year straight-line basis.
8.4 SUN shall have no liability for any infringement or claim which results from: (i) use of other than a current unaltered version of the FCS Technology, if such version was made available to
10
Licensee; (ii) use of the FCS Technology in combination with any non-Sun-provided equipment, software or data; or (iii) SUN’s compliance with designs or specifications of Licensee.
8.5 THIS ARTICLE STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF SUN WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE TECHNOLOGY. SUN SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF LICENSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY AS A RESULT OF USE, LICENSE, OR SALE OF TECHNOLOGY.
8.6 Indemnity by Licensee. Licensee shall defend and indemnify SUN from any and all claims brought against SUN by third parties, and shall hold SUN harmless from all corresponding damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by SUN arising out of or in connection with Licensee’s use, reproduction or distribution of the Technology or Product(s).
9.0 | LIMITATION OF LIABILITY |

EXHIBIT F
DOCUMENT TYPE DEFINITION
In order to ensure interoperability between all Java compliant browsers we need to define the exact notation of applets in HTML documents. The format of the APPLET tag is chosen to be implementation language independent and SGML compliant. SGML compliance is important if the APPLET tag is to be accepted as part of the HTML standard in the future.
Example: |
|
<applet codebase="xxxx://xxxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxx/xxx/xxxxxxx"
|
|
</applet> |
The applet tag has the following attributes:
CODEBASE |
The base url of the applet. The applet’s code is located relative to this URL. If
this |
CODE |
The file in which the applet is located. This file is relative to base url of the applet,
It |
ALT | Alternate text which can be displayed by text only browsers. |
NAME |
The symbolic name of the applet. This name can be used by applets in the same |
WIDTH | Required attribute which specifies the initial width of the applet in pixels. |
HEIGHT | Required attribute which specifies the initial height of the applet in pixels. |
ALIGN | The alignment of the applet, similar to the img tag. |
VSPACE | The vertical space around the applet, similar to the img tag. |
HSPACE | The horizontal space around the applet, similar to the img tag. |
Note that the position of the applet in the page is determined by the width, height, align, vspace and hspace attributes just like the img tag.
Applets can access the above attributes using the getParameter() method call defined in the Applet class. All attribute/parameter names are automatically folded to lower case. Applets that require parameters in addition to the predefined ones need to use the param tag. It is unfortunately not legal in SGML for a tag to have an arbitrary list of attributes. That is why you have to name additional applet parameters explicitly using the PARAM tag. For example:
<applet code="Dateltem.class" alt="The Date" width=200 height=40> |
|
<param name="speaker" value="avh"> |
|
<param name="translator" value="DutchTime"> |
|
</applet> |
In addition to the ALT tag you can include additional text and markup before the applet end tag. Java compliant browsers will ignore this text, but browsers that do not understand the applet tag will display it instead of the applet. For example:
<applet codebase=classes code=lmageLoop.class width=100 height=100> |
|
<param name=imgs value="images/duke"> |
21
If you were using a Java enabled browser, you would see an animation instead of this static image. |
|
<p> |
|
<img src=images/duke/T1.gif"> |
|
</applet> |
Below is the formal SGML DTD for the APPLET and PARAM tags.

TRADEMARK LICENSE
The following terms and conditions governing Java and HotJava compatibility branding and trademarks generally (“License”) are incorporated by reference into the Technology License and Distribution Agreement (“TLDA”) between Sun and Licensee, attached hereto. Where this License is more specific than or inconsistent with the TLDA, the terms of this License shall govern. Otherwise, the TLDA shall apply. The parties agree that:
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 “Branded Product” means all online software or tangible copies or units of any version of Licensee’s Products being distributed in association with any Compatibility Logo.
1.2 “Compatibility Logo” means the Java-compatible or HotJava-compatible logo, whichever is applicable to Licensee’s Products, supplied by Sun to Licensee from time-to-time. The current versions of the logos are depicted at the end of this License.
1.3 “Licensee’s Products” means only the products described in Exhibit B of the TLDA.
2. GRANT OF LICENSE
Sun grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal, paid-up, royalty-free license, within the Territory in Section 3, to use the applicable Compatibility Logo (“License”) as provided herein with respect to each of Licensee’s Products that fully meet the certification requirements of Section 4. Licensee is granted no other right, title, or license to the Compatibility Logos or any other Sun trademark, and is specifically granted no right or license to sublicense the Compatibility Logos or any other Sun trademarks. This License shall apply and pass through to Licensee’s distributors who distribute Licensee’s Products under Licensee’s name and as transferred by Licensee (i.e., without any modifications to the Product, product packaging, documentation or other materials) (“Distributors”). Licensee shall provide notice of this License to and enforce its terms with Distributors. Sun shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this License directly against any Distributor in the event Licensee fails to do so. All subsequent references herein to “Licensee” shall include and apply to “Distributors”. This License shall not apply to any distributor that does not distribute Licensee’s Products under Licensee’s name.
3. TERRITORY
Licensee shall not use any Compatibility Logo on or in Licensee’s Products distributed via tangible media (e.g., CD or diskettes) or on any other tangible materials (e.g., user documentation) in countries other than those listed below (“Territory”), unless Sun expressly agrees in writing beforehand to extend the Territory (which Sun may refuse to do in its sole discretion). This territorial restriction shall not apply to on-line distribution of Licensee’s Products over the Internet. Licensee shall pay all costs, including fees for legal services, registrations, recordals, and foreign language translations associated with any extension of the Territory requested by Licensee. Sun may eliminate any country from the Territory if it determines in its sole judgment that use or continued use of the Compatibility Logos in such country may subject Sun or any third party to legal liability, or may jeopardize the Compatibility Logos or any Sun trademark in that or any other country. In such event, Licensee shall promptly cease all use of the Compatibility Logos in such countries upon written notice from Sun.
