The license granted by INTERGRAPH in this paragraph is not limited to any field of use.

The license granted by HP in this paragraph is limited to the INTERGRAPH FIELDS OF USE.
(ii) No implied licenses are granted hereunder. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT shall expressly or by implication or by estoppel or otherwise give INTERGRAPH any right to license the HP PATENTS to any third party except as set forth in Section 5.
c. Anti-Foundry Provision
The rights granted under this Section 4.(a)(i) and 4.(b)(i) do not cover manufacturing activities that either PARTY, or its SUBSIDIARIES or AFFILIATES, undertakes solely as a patent foundry for a third party. This limitation applies only to the "made" and "have-made" rights of Section 4.(a)(i) and 4.(b)(i) and no others.
d. SUBSIDIARIES and AFFILIATES
Each PARTY agrees that it shall cause as of the EFFECTIVE DATE each of its SUBSIDIARIES and AFFILIATES to take all necessary action to effect the licenses granted in this Section.
5. TERM, TERMINATION AND ASSIGNABILITY
a. The term of the licenses granted in Section 4 of this AGREEMENT shall be from the EFFECTIVE DATE until the expiration of the last to expire of the INTERGRAPH PATENTS and HP PATENTS; all other rights and obligations contained in this AGREEMENT shall survive. This AGREEMENT may not be terminated, except by subsequent written agreement of the PARTIES.
b. Neither PARTY may assign its rights or obligations under this AGREEMENT, in whole or in part, outright or by way of collateral assignment, without the written consent of the other PARTY, except as follows:
(i) A PARTY can assign the licenses under this AGREEMENT to a divested or spun-off entity, as well as to an acquiring entity, as long as said licenses are limited:
(a) to those products and services manufactured and marketed by the transferred entity prior to said transfer, and any commercially reasonable improvements and extensions thereto; and,
(b) to a sales volume for said products and services that is consistent with normal business growth of the transferred entity.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the transfer by one PARTY of any rights and obligations under this AGREEMENT as part of any internal restructuring (re-incorporation or the like) shall be permitted and shall not be considered an assignment for purposes of this AGREEMENT.
c. INTERGRAPH agrees that if it or its SUBSIDIARIES attempts to sell, assign or otherwise transfer any patent under which a license has been granted pursuant to Section 4 of this AGREEMENT, it will take all necessary and appropriate steps to ensure that such sale, assignment or transfer shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT.
d. HP agrees that if it or its SUBSIDIARIES attempts to sell, assign or otherwise transfer any patent under which a license has been granted pursuant to Section 4 of this AGREEMENT, it will take all necessary and appropriate steps to ensure that such sale, assignment or transfer shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT.
e. No sold, transferred, divested or spun off business to which a license has passed under Section 5(b)(i) shall be permitted to subsequently pass that license further, under Section 5(b)(i), if any part of itself is thereafter acquired, sold, transferred, divested or spun off. If under Section 5(b)(i) a PARTY assigns, sells, transfers, divests or spins off only a part of its business to which a license hereunder extends, the transferor party shall retain its original license.
6. PAYMENT BY HP
a. HP shall pay to IHTC the sum of one hundred and forty-one million, one hundred thirty-five thousand United States dollars ($141,135,000), within five (5) business days of the final execution of this AGREEMENT. The PARTIES agree that the amount of one hundred and forty-one million, one hundred thirty-five thousand dollars ($141,135,000) is a net sum to IHTC, is not refundable, and is not subject to any deductions or offsets.
b. The foregoing specified payment shall be made in United States currency by wire transfer to the escrow account of the law firm of Robins, Kaplan, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P., pursuant to a bank transfer as follows:
[Confidential information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission]
c. The PARTIES acknowledge that the payment under this Section, the mutual releases under Section 3, and the cross-licenses made under Section 4, are not evidence of what a reasonable royalty would be as determined in a suit for infringement of any of the patents covered by this AGREEMENT because, among other reasons, the determination of a reasonable royalty in a patent infringement suit assumes that the relevant patent is valid, enforceable and infringed, while in this case, the payment under this Section as well as the mutual releases under Section 3, and the cross-licenses made under Section 4, represent a compromise settlement of disputed issues.
d. The PARTIES acknowledge that the payment hereunder is specifically based upon many considerations, including but not limited to: the issues raised by the ACTIONS, and the fact that the negotiations do not reflect what a willing licensee would pay a willing licensor in an arm's-length transaction with respect to any patent covered by this AGREEMENT.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY OF TERMS
a. Neither the PARTIES nor their AFFILIATES shall use or refer to this AGREEMENT or any of its provisions in any promotional activity, except that the PARTIES shall be allowed to issue a press release relating to this AGREEMENT. Prior to each PARTY'S press release, each PARTY will obtain the consent of the other as to the form and content of the press release, said consent not being unreasonably withheld. The PARTIES shall not make any other public statements about this AGREEMENT except as provided for in this Section.
b. Except as may be otherwise required by generally accepted accounting principles, regulatory requirements, or court order, the specific terms of this AGREEMENT shall be confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PARTIES acknowledge that HP is free to share the AGREEMENT with its suppliers on a confidential basis for purposes of seeking indemnification, and that the ACTIONS and the settlement thereof under the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT may be material events to either or both INTERGRAPH and HP, and that each PARTY shall have the right to issue an appropriate press release and/or filing with the SEC disclosing the material provisions of this AGREEMENT. In addition, the PARTIES acknowledge and agree that the material terms of this AGREEMENT, and perhaps the AGREEMENT itself, might be subject to disclosure to the Court in the ACTIONS and agree that such disclosure shall not be considered a violation of this section.
8. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS
