With respect to the Assigned Patents that are pending or issued in the United States, on the Effective Time & Date, IBM shall deliver to BUYER via facsimile a copy of an executed document having the form and substance of Exhibit D and its referenced Exhibits A and C (attached hereto and also titled Exhibits A and C, respectively),.

With respect to the Assigned Patents that are pending or issued outside the United States, upon BUYER’s written request and at BUYER’s expense based on IBM’s then-current rate schedule for the applicable personnel involved, IBM shall execute all documents and instruments prepared by BUYER, and shall do all lawful acts, in each case as may be reasonably necessary to perfect BUYER’s right, title, and interest in and to such Assigned Patents and recordation thereof, provided that, not later than ninety (90) days after the Effective Time & Date and not later than fifteen (15) days prior to BUYER’s expected date of recordation, BUYER shall provide IBM with any documents requiring IBM’s signature, suitable for recording, having terms and conditions acceptable to IBM and substantially similar to Exhibit D except for any additional or different terms and conditions that would be legally necessary in patent assignments of the local jurisdiction.

1.3 BUYER shall be solely responsible for all actions and all costs, including attorneys’ fees and patent office fees in any jurisdiction, having a Due Date on or after the Effective Time & Date and associated with: (i) maintaining the enforceability of any of the Assigned Patents and Exhibit J Patents (if any); or (ii) further prosecution of any of the Assigned Patents and Exhibit J Patents, IBM inventors of the Assigned Patents and Exhibit J Patents shall not be obligated to assist in prosecution or maintenance of the Assigned Patents or

1.5 Section 1.3 notwithstanding, the parties hereto acknowledge that any prosecution of the Assigned Patent Applications and Exhibit J Patents after the Effective Date may require the provision of assistance from employees of IBM who are inventors for such applications (“IBM Inventors”). In the event BUYER wishes for such IBM Inventors to provide such prosecution assistance, BUYER shall so request and describe the requested assistance from IBM in writing. Provided any such IBM Inventor is in possession of relevant information that is not otherwise publicly available, and further provided any such IBM Inventor is still employed by IBM at the time of such request, IBM will grant permission for such IBM Inventors to cooperate with BUYER, on any Assigned Patent Application on which such IBM Inventor is an inventor, at BUYER’s expense in accordance with IBM’s then current rates for the engineering services of the IBM Inventors. The nature of the consultations shall be limited to elaborations on the details the inventor’s invention, the dates of invention, the extent of the involvement of joint inventors (if any), the review of the specification and the claims for accuracy and identification of prior art that may need to be disclosed to the governmental office in which a given patent application has been filed (based on relevant disclosure obligations). In no event shall such assistance extend to matters that would require the IBM Inventors to take a position adverse to IBM’s legal or business interests. IBM shall bear no responsibility for the accuracy of any statements or information provided by IBM Inventors.
