1.8.1 During the first three (3) years of the Agreement, by the Minimum
Commitments of Section 7.3, or until such Minimum Commitments are terminated;
and
1.8.2 Thereafter, by the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts on the
part of Motorola.
2. TRADEMARK LICENSE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
NetSpeak hereby grants to Motorola a personal, nontransferable, royalty-free,
non-exclusive, worldwide right and license, with a right to sublicense parties
who agree to adhere to this Section 2 and Exhibit D, to:

other Derivative Works, and which is used on any labeling, packaging,
demonstrations, promotions and advertising relating thereto; PROVIDED HOWEVER,
that in the case of use in connection with RF Products and Derivative Works,
Motorola will notify NetSpeak in writing to obtain prior approval, which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If NetSpeak does not respond within
30 days following notification, approval shall be deemed to have been granted;
and
(b) use, reproduce, and display the NetSpeak Marks (publicly or otherwise)
in connection with demonstrations, promotions and advertising related to the

(c) In the extent that Motorola sublicenses a third party under their
rights in Sections 2(a) or (b), the sublicense agreement between Motorola and
such third party shall include provisions substantially equivalent to those of
Section 2.
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of execution of this Agreement,
NetSpeak will provide Motorola with a list of countries in which they have
applied or obtained registration for the NetSpeak Marks. It is acknowledged by
Motorola that NetSpeak has not perfected its trademark rights in the NetSpeak
Marks in all countries in which Motorola currently distributes, sells or offers
products or services.
3. OWNERSHIP AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
3.1 OWNERSHIP BY NETSPEAK. All rights, title and interest in Intellectual
Property embodied in the NetSpeak Products (including all copies thereof and all
rights therein) shall remain
4
vested in NetSpeak.
3.2 OWNERSHIP BY MOTOROLA. All rights, title and interest in Intellectual
Property authored, conceived, developed or reduced to practice by Motorola
(including, but not limited to, Intellectual Property embodied in the RF
Products), in accordance with the licenses granted herein, shall be owned solely
by Motorola, subject to any NetSpeak Intellectual Property in the NetSpeak
Products.
3.3 OWNERSHIP IN DERIVATIVE WORKS; PRESERVATION OF API/NCPM.
3.3.1 The parties acknowledge that Motorola will make or have made for
Motorola Derivative Works to the NetSpeak Software to supply Motorola required
features and functionality to the overall NetSpeak Products and to modify the
NetSpeak Products. NetSpeak shall supply the Source Code of the NetSpeak

Software made by or for Motorola.
3.3.2 All Derivative Works to the NetSpeak Software made by or for
Motorola shall be owned exclusively by Motorola, subject to any NetSpeak
Intellectual Property in such Derivative Works; provided that in the case of
Derivative Works which do not constitute RF Products, Motorola and NetSpeak may
otherwise agree in a separate written instrument as to the ownership of specific
Derivative Works made by NetSpeak for Motorola.
3.3.3 Motorola and NetSpeak agree to maintain common core compatibility as
defined by a mutually agreed upon test suite of the NetSpeak Communications
Protocol Module. Netspeak shall not create any modifications, enhancements or
extensions of the Netspeak Communications Protocol Module which would render
inoperable or would otherwise not be "backwardly compatible" with the Derivative
Works which incorporate: (i) the then existing version of the NetSpeak
Communications Protocol Module, or (ii) the immediate prior two Upgrades of the
Netspeak Communications Protocol; provided, however that for purposes of this
Section 3.3.3 NetSpeak agrees not to release more than two Upgrades in any two
year period.
4. DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE.
4.1 NETSPEAK PRODUCTS. NetSpeak shall deliver the NetSpeak Products to
Motorola as available, with Motorola receiving most-favored customer delivery on
current and future NetSpeak Products.
4.2 FUTURE PRODUCTS. NetSpeak shall deliver to Motorola, promptly upon the
availability thereof, Masters for any Future Products.
5
*Confidential treatment requested for omitted portions. Omitted material is on
file with the Commission.
5. ENFORCEMENT. When requested by Motorola, NetSpeak shall take any and all
commercially reasonable measures to enforce its Intellectual Property rights.
6. QUALITY OF PRODUCTS. NetSpeak shall take commercially reasonable efforts to
manufacture, or have manufactured, the NetSpeak Products delivered to Motorola
to standards that are at least as high as those for similar products of
Motorola.
7. ROYALTY, PRODUCT, TERMS AND MINIMUM PAYMENTS.
7.1 ROYALTY. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Motorola
agrees to pay royalties (according to a royalty schedule to be set forth in
Exhibit G) to NetSpeak on fair, reasonable, most-favored customer and
competitive rates and terms for similar quantities and under similar conditions.
7.1.1 With respect to Subscriber Devices, Motorola shall pay NetSpeak the
following royalty amounts (not to exceed * in the aggregate) which
will result in a fully-paid up license with respect to Subscriber Devices for
unlimited use of any license granted hereunder: * for each of the first
* million Subscriber Devices shipped which incorporate a NetSpeak Product,
an RF Product or a Derivative Work pursuant to the license grants of Sections
1.1, 1.2, 1.4 or 1.5; * for each of the next * million Subscriber
Devices shipped which incorporate a NetSpeak Product, an RF Product or a
Derivative Work pursuant to the license grants of Sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 or 1.5.
7.1.2 With respect to New NetSpeak Products incorporated into a Subscriber
Device after the fifth anniversary of the execution of this Agreement, Motorola
shall agree to pay an additional reasonable royalty rate for each Subscriber
Device incorporating such New NetSpeak Products on a most-favored customer
basis; provided, however in no event shall Motorola be obligated to pay in
excess of * million (excluding any amount paid under Section 7.1.1) for such
Subscriber Devices incorporating the New NetSpeak Products and once Motorola
pays * million in the aggregate (excluding any amount paid under Section
7.1.1) for such Subscriber Devices incorporating the New NetSpeak Products,
Motorola shall have an unlimited right to further incorporate such New NetSpeak
Products in all Subscriber Devices without any further royalty payment
obligation or accounting to NetSpeak.
7.1.3 With respect to NetSpeak Products, RF Products and Derivative
Products which are not incorporated into Subscriber Devices, Motorola and
NetSpeak will meet within thirty (30) days of the date of execution of this
Agreement to develop a business model for defining the Motorola royalty base for
each NetSpeak Product. The defined royalty base shall quantify the boundary of
the Motorola RF Products, Derivative Works and NetSpeak Products upon which a
royalty calculation will be made. The business model shall take into
consideration the existing royalty base for each NetSpeak Product outside of the
Exclusive Field to comparably define a royalty base for the Motorola RF Products
and Derivative Works. It is acknowledged and agreed by NetSpeak that the
Motorola royalty schedule shall be such that Motorola achieves a most favored
customer royalty rate applied to the defined royalty base. The parties will
negotiate declining
6
royalty rates based on average selling prices and volume levels, which take into
consideration Motorola's and NetSpeak's current business models.
7.2 PRODUCT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NetSpeak
will offer, and Motorola agrees to pay, pricing to NetSpeak for NetSpeak
Products not paid for under Section 7.1, on fair, reasonable, most-favored
customer and competitive terms and subject to Motorola's standard product
purchase terms set forth on Exhibit H, but in all cases no more than at most
favored pricing for similar quantities and under similar conditions.
7.3 MINIMUM PAYMENTS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including without limitation Section 10, Motorola agrees to pay NetSpeak the
following minimum commitments (each, a "Minimum Commitment"): $2.5M for NetSpeak
Products sold between the date of execution hereof and Product Acceptance; $2.5M
for NetSpeak Products during the first year following Product Acceptance; $10M
for NetSpeak Products during the second year following Product Acceptance; and
$15M for NetSpeak Products during the third year following Product Acceptance;
provided that to the extent Motorola's Minimum Commitment for any given year
exceeds the NetSpeak Revenue Minimum, such Minimum Commitment shall be reduced
to the amount of such NetSpeak Revenue Minimum.
The "NetSpeak Revenue Minimum" means an amount equal to 50% of NetSpeak's
revenues for any given year (as reported in a manner consistent with NetSpeak's
reported financial statements). The NetSpeak Revenue Minimum will be determined
as follows: NetSpeak shall provide to Motorola revenue results for the period
of 11 months from Product Acceptance or a Product Acceptance anniversary, as the
case may be, and an amount representing revenues for the 12 month period of such
year projected on an annualized basis (the "Annualized Amount"). The Annualized
Amount shall be used for purposes of determining the NetSpeak Revenue Minimum
and Motorola shall pay either the Minimum Commitment amount set forth above or,
if less, the NetSpeak Revenue Minimum within 30 days of the date NetSpeak
provides the foregoing information to Motorola. If, after payment of such
amount, it is determined that actual revenues for a given year varied from the
Annualized Amount, an appropriate adjustment will be made to future payments
hereunder (including any Minimum Commitment).
For purposes of illustration only, assume Product Acceptance occurred on January
1, 1999 and on December 1, 2000 NetSpeak provides Motorola with its revenue
results for the first 11 months of the year (being the second year following
Product Acceptance) showing annualized revenues of $18M. Since 50% of $18M is
$9M, Motorola's minimum obligation for 2000 will be reduced from $10M to $9M.
Such $9M will be payable by December 31, 2000. If the annualized results (based
on 11 months) were not in fact the actual results (because of a variation in
expected revenues for December, 2000), there would be an adjustment in 2001
through a credit toward such year's royalty payments (including any minimum).
7.4 INTERNAL USE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
no royalties shall be due and payable to NetSpeak by Motorola for any NetSpeak
Software, RF Products, Netspeak Communication Protocol Modules or Derivative
Works used internally within Motorola.
7
solely for development, testing and marketing of such products, but specifically
excluding deployment into Motorola networks.
7.5 ROYALTY PAYMENT TERMS. Motorola shall pay royalties on NetSpeak Products,
RF Products and any Derivative Works thereof, 45 days following the end of the
calendar quarter in which Motorola distributes the same. Motorola shall keep
records relating to such royalties in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Once per year, NetSpeak shall have the right, at its
expense, to have its independent public accountants audit such records upon
reasonable notice to Motorola in accordance with Section 7.7.
7.6 STATEMENT OF ROYALTIES. Beginning with the first calendar quarter in which
the NetSpeak Software is distributed, and in conjunction with the payment of the
royalties following the end of each calendar quarter, Motorola agrees to provide
to NetSpeak a statement of royalties due to NetSpeak under this Agreement for
the prior quarter in a timely fashion, but in no event later than such time that
Motorola provides such reports to its other licensors for which royalty reports
are required.
7.7 RECORDS/AUDITS. Each party agrees to keep and preserve for at least two
(2) years after any transactions relating to this Agreement, accurate records of
all such transactions relating to this Agreement. In particular, each party
shall ensure that its records adequately identify the product so that they can
be distinguished from other goods not licensed hereunder. NetSpeak's independent
public accountants shall have the right, at NetSpeak's expense, at any time
during the other party's normal business hours and upon fifteen (15) business
days prior to written notice to that party, to examine all such records,
including all ship records, invoices and other records that relate to the
shipment and sale of product. If such an audit detects a shortfall in royalties
paid, Motorola shall pay the unpaid royalties together with interest at a rate
equal to the rate announced by Chase Manhattan Bank as its "prime rate" or
"corporate base rate" per annum from the date due on any unpaid amount.
7.8 PRODUCT PRICING ON ISG-MANUFACTURED PRODUCT. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Motorola will offer to NetSpeak and NetSpeak will
pay prices on fair, reasonable, most-favored customer and competitive terms, for
NetSpeak Products and/or Derivative Works (other than RF Products) manufactured
by Motorola or for Motorola which are purchased by NetSpeak, but in all cases no
more than most favored pricing for similar quantities under similar conditions.
8. SUPPORT.
8.1 CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
8.1.1 As further described below, Motorola or its agents shall provide
customer support for NetSpeak Products sold through Motorola and RF Products
distributed into, sold into or otherwise used in the Exclusive Field of the
license grants of Sections 1.1 and 1.2 (the "Supported
8
Products"). All Updates and support materials (including marketing materials)
shall be provided to Motorola by NetSpeak and, to the extent possible, in
downloadable form so that they may be distributed electronically.
8.1.2 During the term of the agreement, Motorola and its distributors or
maintenance co-providers will provide Level 1 (support necessary to process
initial call from the end user) and Level 2 support (support required for
problem determination and solution) for the Supported Products. In addition to
any other support provided by NetSpeak in connection with its provision of
NetSpeak products to Motorola (such support to be at least equivalent to support
provided to any other customer of NetSpeak for similar products), NetSpeak will
provide Level 3 support (includes, patches, fixes and work arounds) for the
Supported Products. Motorola will use all reasonable efforts to verify the
following technical issues before calling NetSpeak: (i) create a test case and
define the technical problem; (ii) attempt to reproduce problem; and, (iii)
document and e-mail to NetSpeak hot line support.
8.1.3 Motorola may request technical assistance by calling or faxing to
NetSpeak technical support at any time and Netspeak will provide support as
provided in Section 8.3.
8.1.4 Normal calls will be responded to within four hours during normal
business hours. Call identified as "urgent" will be responded to within one
hour. If Motorola determines that such response times are not being met,
NetSpeak will work in good faith with Motorola to reduce the response time.
"Response" shall mean a return call by a technical support engineer whose
qualifications and knowledge are commensurate with Motorola's request for
support and who is designated by NetSpeak's technical support manager. NetSpeak
will provide daily feedback on progress for unresolved problems lasting more
than twenty four hours. In the event the problem remains unsolved for more than
twenty-four hours, NetSpeak shall involve its engineering management and
Motorola's designee shall be contacted and briefed on the problem by NetSpeak
engineering management. In such case, NetSpeak will maintain direct contact with
customers to work escalated calls and provide Motorola an update at daily/weekly
intervals (as reasonably requested by Motorola) depending upon seriousness of
issue. In the event that normal technical support procedures for problem
resolution do not solve a customer problem, upon request by Motorola , NetSpeak
shall use its best efforts to provide engineering resources at a designated site
to identify and resolve problems corresponding to NetSpeak's support
obligations.
8.1.5 NetSpeak's Technical Support Guidelines are as set forth on Exhibit
B.
8.1.6 It is understood that any customer information provided to, or
customer contact made by, NetSpeak in the process of assisting Motorola and its
customers will be only used for support purposes. This information and contact
will not be used to generate direct or indirect NetSpeak sales, except as
approved by Motorola.
8.2 CUSTOMER WARRANTY SUPPORT. Motorola shall be responsible for all warranty
obligations relating to any defects in the manufacture of the NetSpeak Hardware,
provided that such defective NetSpeak Hardware were manufactured by or for
Motorola. As applicable, NetSpeak shall
9
provide appropriate warranties and support with respect to NetSpeak-provided
products (under the most favored relationship between Motorola and NetSpeak).
If NetSpeak Products qualify for warranty service under the provisions of the
applicable agreement between Motorola and its customer due to a defect in
Motorola's manufacture of such product, Motorola may, at its sole discretion,
provide a replacement NetSpeak Product. Motorola shall not be liable for royalty
payments for such replacement products.
8.3 NETSPEAK SUPPORT. NetSpeak shall provide Motorola on a timely basis with:
(i) all available solutions and corrections for reported problems which are
replicated and diagnosed by Netspeak or Motorola as a defect in the NetSpeak
Products; (ii) such changes and corrections as are necessary to keep the
NetSpeak Products substantially in conformance with applicable Documentation and
specifications; and (iii) technical training and copies of training or course
materials, in accordance with a mutually agreed upon schedule for providing
same. In addition, NetSpeak shall provide to Motorola technical support of at
least telephone support for problem resolution seven (7) days per week, 365 days
per year, including published holidays. Upon such notice to NetSpeak of a
problem with the NetSpeak Products, NetSpeak shall use its best efforts to
correct or circumvent the problem. Any corrections to the NetSpeak Products will
be made to the most current generally available release; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
NetSpeak will support the two (2) previously released versions of such NetSpeak
Products after the introduction of a new generally available release.
8.4 SUPPORT FOR DERIVATIVE WORKS. NetSpeak agrees to provide cooperation and
support to Motorola in the development of Derivative Works.
9. PRODUCT NOTICES. Motorola shall reproduce, and shall not remove, any
copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices included in the
NetSpeak Products. Motorola shall not make any representations or warranties
concerning the NetSpeak Products, except as set forth in End User Documentation
and other materials provided by NetSpeak or as otherwise approved in writing by
NetSpeak.
10. TERM AND TERMINATION.
10.1 TERM. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and continue
pursuant to the Term as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto.
10.2 TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by a party upon the
occurrence of one or more of the following:
(a) Upon the material failure of the other party to perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement, which failure remains uncured for a period of
sixty (60) days after receipt by such party of written notice thereof from the
non-defaulting party (for purposes hereof, to the extent any such breach has not
been an intentional breach by a party, the discontinuance of the breaching
activity and cooperation to remedy any damage suffered by the non-breaching
party shall be presumed to be a "cure" or "curing" of the breach);
10
* Confidential treatment requested for omitted portions. Omitted material is on
file with the Commission.
(b) In the event the other party makes a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to a receiver
or a trustee in bankruptcy;
(c) In the event a proceeding is commenced against the other party for
relief under bankruptcy or similar laws and such proceeding is not dismissed
within thirty (30) days; or
(d) In the event the other party is adjudged insolvent or bankrupt.
10.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the
provisions of Section 1, 2, 3.2, 3.3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
17.2 and 17.7 shall survive, subject to the provisions of Sections 10.3.1 and
10.3.2 (which such provisions shall not be mutually exclusive).
10.3.1 NETSPEAK TERMINATION DUE TO BREACHES BY MOTOROLA.
10.3.1.1 FAILURE TO PAY ROYALTIES. In the event of termination of
this Agreement by NetSpeak pursuant to Section 10.2(a) due to a breach by
Motorola of Section 1 or 7 (failure to pay royalties) through a failure to
substantially perform material obligations thereunder: (i) the disputed amount
of such royalties shall be placed into the custody of a mutually acceptable
escrow agent pending resolution of the disputed royalty amount; (ii) the amount
of royalties Motorola must pay to NetSpeak (which royalty rates are determined
based on product volumes) shall increase to the next highest rate (if any) until
such time as Motorola's sales of RF Products, NetSpeak Products or Derivative
Works reach the next highest volume break where Motorola would otherwise be
entitled to a lower rate (if any) (for purposes of clarity, if applicable,
Section 7.3 shall continue to apply); and (iii) if such breach is intentional,
Motorola shall pay NetSpeak * million as liquidated damages for such breach
(without duplication of any amount paid pursuant to Section 10.3.1.2); provided
that if Motorola cures such breach within twelve months of the date of
termination, NetSpeak shall refund to Motorola a pro-rated amount of the *
million payment (based on the number of months as to which such breach remained
uncured) and the termination shall be deemed rescinded (and the parties shall be
returned to the status quo prior to such termination).
For purposes of illustration only, if at the time NetSpeak terminates
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.3.1.1 Motorola is paying a royalty
rate of 3% based on volume break of 50 Million units, and according to the
royalty schedule of Exhibit G the next higher royalty rate is 5% based on a
volume break of 30 Million units, Motorola's royalty rate would increase to 5%
for the next 30 million units shipped by Motorola. Thereafter, Motorola's
royalty rate would become 3% for the next 50 million units shipped.
10.3.1.2 BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY/DISTRIBUTION OF SOURCE CODE/
COMPATIBILITY COVENANT. In the event of termination of this Agreement by
NetSpeak pursuant to Section 10.2(a) due to a breach by Motorola of Section 16
relating to the confidentiality of Source Code or Section 3.3.3 (core
compatibility) through a failure to substantially perform material obligations
thereunder: (i) Motorola shall cooperate with NetSpeak and use its best
11
*Confidential treatment requested for omitted portions. Omitted material is on
file with the Commission.
efforts to retrieve such Source Code and prevent further dissemination of such
Source Code; (ii) the amount of royalties Motorola must pay to NetSpeak (which
royalty rates are determined based on product volumes) shall increase to the
next highest rate (if any) until such time as Motorola's sales of RF Products,
NetSpeak Products or Derivative Works reach the next highest volume break where
Motorola would otherwise be entitled to a lower rate (if any) (for purposes of
clarity, if applicable, Section 7.3 shall continue to apply); and (iii) if such
breach is intentional, Motorola shall pay NetSpeak * million as liquidated
damages for such breach (without duplication of any amount paid pursuant to
Section 10.3.1.2); provided that if Motorola cures such breach within twelve
months of the date of termination, NetSpeak shall refund to Motorola a pro-rated
amount of the * million payment (based on the number of months as to which
such breach remained uncured) and the termination shall be deemed rescinded (and
the parties shall be returned to the status quo prior to such termination).
10.3.2 MOTOROLA TERMINATION DUE TO BREACHES BY NETSPEAK.
10.3.2.1 BREACH OF SECTION 1.7. In the event of termination of this
Agreement by Motorola pursuant to Section 10.2(a) due to a breach by NetSpeak of
Section 1.7 (Exclusivity Covenant) through a failure to substantially perform
material obligations thereunder: (i) the provisions of Section 7.3 (Minimum
Commitments) shall terminate; (ii) to the extent such breach is not intentional,
the amount of royalties Motorola must pay to NetSpeak (which royalty rates are
determined based on volume commitments) shall decrease to the next lowest rate
set forth on Exhibit G for twelve months and, thereafter, shall be reduced to
zero; and (iii) if such breach is intentional, the amount of royalties Motorola
must pay to NetSpeak shall decrease to zero; provided that in the case of either
clause (ii) or (iii) above, if NetSpeak cures such breaches within twelve months
of termination, such termination shall be deemed rescinded (and the parties
shall be returned to the status quo prior to such termination, except, however,
Section 7.3 shall no longer be applicable).
For purposes of illustration only, if at the time Motorola terminates
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.3.2.1 Motorola is paying a royalty
rate of 5% based on a volume break of 30 Million units, and according to the
royalty schedule of Exhibit G the lowest royalty rate is 3%, Motorola's royalty
rate would decrease to the 3% for one year.
10.3.2.2 BREACH OF COMPATIBILITY COVENANT/QUALITY/SUPPORT. In the
event of termination of this Agreement by Motorola pursuant to Section 10.2(a)
due to a breach by NetSpeak pursuant to Sections 3.3.3 relating to the
compatibility of the NetSpeak Communications Protocol Module, Sections 6 or 8
through a failure to substantially perform material obligations thereunder: (i)
the provisions of Section 7.3 (Minimum Commitments) shall terminate; and (ii) to
the extent such breach is not intentional, the amount of royalties Motorola must
pay to NetSpeak (which royalty rates are determined based on volume commitments)
shall decrease to the lowest rate set forth on Exhibit G; and (iii) if such
breach is intentional, the amount of royalties Motorola must pay to NetSpeak
shall decrease to zero; provided that in the case of either clause (ii) or (iii)
above, if NetSpeak cures such breaches within twelve months of termination, such
termination shall be deemed rescinded (and the parties shall be returned
12
to the status quo prior to such termination, except, however, Section 7.3 shall
no longer be applicable).
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
11.1 DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the event of a claim, dispute or controversy
("Dispute") with respect to this Agreement, including it's interpretation,
construction, performance or breach pursuant to Section 10.2(a), the Parties
shall use their best efforts to resolve the same amicably, in accordance with
the following:
(a) During the sixty (60) day period immediately following receipt of
written notice pursuant to Section 10.2(a), the CEO of NetSpeak and the
President of the Cellular Networks and Space Sector for Motorola will attempt to
settle any Dispute arising out of this Agreement through good faith
consultations and negotiations.
(b) If those attempts fail, either Motorola or NetSpeak may demand non-
binding mediation of such Dispute by written notice to the other, in accordance
with Section 11.2 hereof, prior to commencement of the non-defaulting party of
any formal litigation.
11.2 MEDIATION. Any Party shall have the right at any time to request that a
Dispute be resolved by voluntary non-binding mediations for at least thirty (30)
days, by an independent impartial third party mediator acceptable to the Parties
to such Dispute. Accordingly, if a Party submits written notice requesting
mediation to settle a Dispute ("Mediation Notice"), Motorola and NetSpeak may
select an impartial mediator within 15 days of receipt of such Mediation Notice.
Neither Motorola or NetSpeak may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection
of a mediator, and Motorola and NetSpeak shall share the cost of the mediation
equally. Mediation will take place in Boston, Massachusetts. Prior to
mediation, Motorola and NetSpeak and the neutral advisor shall use their best
reasonable efforts to agree on a set of ground rules for mediation. At the
conclusion of mediation, Motorola and NetSpeak or their designated spokesperson
shall meet and attempt to resolve the matter.
(a) If any Dispute cannot be resolved by Motorola and NetSpeak through
negotiation, mediation or another mutually agreed upon form of dispute
resolution within three (3) months of the Mediation Notice, the Dispute may be
submitted to a court of law.
(b) The use of any dispute resolution procedures will not be construed
under the doctrine of laches, waives or estoppel to adversely affect the rights
of either Motorola or NetSpeak. Nothing in this Section 11 will prevent either
Motorola or NetSpeak from commencing formal litigation proceedings if (i) good
faith efforts to resolve the Dispute under these procedures have been
unsuccessful, or (ii) any delay resulting from efforts to mediate such dispute
could result in serious and irreparable injury to Motorola or NetSpeak, as the
case may be.
13
12. ESCROW. Pursuant to a written agreement in which Motorola is a disclosed
third party beneficiary ("Escrow Agreement"), NetSpeak shall deposit with an
independent escrow agent the Source Code for all NetSpeak Software and the
Technical Know How for all NetSpeak Products, hereafter the "Escrow Materials".
NetSpeak shall update the Escrow Materials on a quarterly basis, or sooner if
such updates are available. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that upon the
occurrence of an event set forth in Section 10.2, such Escrow Materials shall be
released to Motorola.

perform an accounting of their respective revenues realized from the licensing,
sale or distribution of the infringing NetSpeak Product. Each party shall then
pay the proportionate share of the Incremental Liability based upon their
respective revenues.
14.7 BY MOTOROLA. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 14.8 and 14.10

16. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.
16.1 DEFINITION. As used in this Agreement, a party's Proprietary Information
means all information that has been created, discovered, developed or otherwise
became known to that party, or any information in which property rights have
been assigned or sold to the party, that has commercial value in the business in
which the party is engaged and is treated and marked by the disclosing Party as
confidential. Proprietary Information includes, without limitation, processes,
formulas, ideas, concepts, discoveries, developments, designs, inventions,
techniques, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, new product projections, all
pricing information and costs, sales reports, customer and supplier lists, all
modifications, additions, improvements, and adaptations of any of the foregoing,
and all present and future applications of any of the foregoing. A party's
Proprietary Information does not include any information that:
(a) on the date of this Agreement, is generally known to the public;
(b) become generally known to the public after the date of this Agreement
other than as a result of an act or omission of either party or either party's
directors, officers, employees, or agents;
(c) was rightfully known by the other party prior to the date of this
Agreement;
(d) is or was disclosed by the party to third parties generally without
restriction on use or disclosure; or
(e) was or is independently developed by the other party without violation
of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement or trade secret rights of
the party. Each party agrees to use best efforts to xxxx as confidential or
proprietary any information that it delivers to the other party (in any form)
and which it considers to be Proprietary Information and to advise the other
party of the confidential nature of any Proprietary Information that is provided
verbally. Upon request by either party, the other party shall advise whether or
not it considers any particular information or materials to be Proprietary
Information.
16.2 OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the other party's Proprietary Information using the same
degree of care and security as the party uses to maintain the confidentiality of
its own Proprietary Information. Each party shall disclose the other party's
Proprietary Information only to persons who have a reasonable need to know and
who are:
(a) employees, agents, customers for the NetSpeak Products (including, but
not limited to OEMS); or
(b) other potential customers for the NetSpeak Products (including, but
not limited to OEMS) of the disclosing party who have a reasonable need to know
such Proprietary Information to further the purposes of this Agreement; and
18
(c) legally bound by law or by a written agreement protecting the
Proprietary Information to the same extent as protected in this Agreement. Each
party acknowledges that the disclosure of the other party's Proprietary
Information may cause irreparable injury to the other party and, therefore,
either party may, in addition to any other available remedies, seek injunctive
relief against the breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Section
16.2.
16.3 CONFIDENTIALITY PERIOD. Except with respect to Source Code for NetSpeak
Products and RF Products, each party's obligations under Section 16.2 with
respect to the other party's Proprietary Information shall continue for a period
of five (5) years following the date of receipt by the receiving party of the
Proprietary Information. In the case of Source Code for NetSpeak Products and
RF Products, each party's obligations under Section 16.2 shall survive for a
period of five (5) years following the termination of this Agreement. Upon
termination of this Agreement for any reason, each party agrees that it will
upon written request of the other party, use best efforts to return to the other
party or to destroy (and certify such destruction in writing to the other party)
all Proprietary Information of the other party.
17. MISCELLANEOUS.
17.1 PRESS RELEASES. The parties will cooperate to create appropriate public
announcements of the relationship set forth in this Agreement. Neither party

the other party.
17.2 GOVERNING LAW; EQUITABLE RELIEF. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of State of Illinois as they apply to
contracts entered into and wholly to be performed within the State of Illinois,
without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Each party acknowledges that
a material breach of this Agreement by one party hereto may cause irreparable
injury to the other party and, therefore, either party may, in addition to any
other available remedies, seek injunctive relief against the breach or
threatened breach of the terms of this Agreement.
17.3 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each of NetSpeak and Motorola do hereby knowingly,
voluntarily, intentionally and irrevocably waive any right any party may have to
a jury trial in every jurisdiction in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
brought by either of the parties hereto against the other party hereto or their
respective Affiliates, successors or assigns in respect of any matter arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other document executed and
delivered by any party in connection therewith (including, without limitation,
any action to rescind or cancel this Agreement and any claims or defenses
asserting that this Agreement was fraudulently induced or otherwise void or
voidable.)
17.4 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The parties to this Agreement are independent
contractors. Neither party shall have the right to bind, represent or act for
any other party. The parties shall have no agency, partnership, joint venture or
fiduciary duties to each other. Nor shall either party have
19
any obligation or duty to the other party except as expressly and specifically
set forth herein, nor shall any such obligation or duty be implied by or
inferred from this Agreement or the conduct of the parties hereunder. Without
limitation of the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will
prevent Motorola from marketing and distributing any other work, whether similar
or dissimilar to the NetSpeak Product, and nothing herein will require Motorola
to devote the same or similar efforts to distributing the NetSpeak Products.
17.5 OTHER AGREEMENTS. Neither party shall agree to any contractual provision
or term in any agreement with any third party which contains a provision or term
that causes such party to be in breach of or violates this Agreement except with
respect to the matters set forth on Exhibit C.

parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or
simultaneous representations, discussions, negotiations and agreements, whether
written or oral. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by both
parties.
17.7 ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by either
party without the prior written approval of the other party, except that either
party may assign all its rights and delegate all its obligations as part of a
merger, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all its assets. Any
attempted assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be deemed void ab
initio. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding on the parties and
their successors and assigns.
17.8 WAIVER. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision contained
herein shall be in writing and shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any
succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself.
17.9 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or
invalid under any applicable law or is so held by applicable court decision,
such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement
unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and, in such event, such provision shall be
changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such
provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decision.
17.10 FORCE MAJEURE. No party shall be liable for failure to perform, in whole
or in material part, its obligations under this Agreement if such failure is
caused by an event or condition not existing as of the date of this Agreement
and not reasonably within the control of the affected party, including, without
limitation, by fire, flood, typhoon, earthquake, explosion, strike, labor
trouble or other industrial disturbance, unavoidable accident, war (declared or
undeclared), act of terrorism, sabotage, embargo, blockade, act of applicable
governmental authorities, riot, insurrection, or any other cause beyond the
control of such party; provided, however, that such party promptly notifies the
other affected party of the occurrence of the event of force majeure and takes
all reasonable steps necessary to mitigate the effects of such event and to
resume performance of its obligations which were affected by such event.

Guidelines for Using Trademarks
1.0 General Overview
1.1 These guidelines ("Guidelines") set forth the proper treatment and use of
the Trademarks pursuant to the license grants of Section 2 of the Agreement,
hereafter for the purposes of this Schedule referred to as "Licensed Products."
Compliance with these Guidelines is the sole responsibility of Motorola. In the
event of a conflict between the provisions of this Schedule and the Agreement,
the Agreement shall control.
2.0 Use of Trademarks
2.1 The Trademarks may only be used on the Licensed Products, its packaging,
collateral documentation and in advertising for the Licensed Products. The
Trademarks may never be used on or in connection with any other products or
services, and, particularly not on novelty items or T-shirts, without express
written permission of NetSpeak.
2.2 The Trademarks may not be used as part of or in any emblem or insignia.
2.3 The Trademarks must not be used in a manner which may cause confusion as to
the source or origin of products or services being offered. As such, the
Trademarks may not be:
2.3.1 displayed in a striking and solitary manner by Motorola;
2.3.2 made more prominent than the remainder of the text in which the
Trademarks are used by Motorola;
2.3.3 as prominent or more prominent than the trademark or company name of
Motorola;
2.3.4 used as part of the name or other identifier of a business, product,
or service not connected with the Licensed Products.
2.4 At the first or a prominent occurrence of the Trademark in advertising, it
should be symbolically indicated that the Trademarks are trademarks. In the
United States, this is usually done by using the symbol /TM/ or (R) with the
same footnote. Note that in some countries, a translated version of the U.S.
trademark attribution is not only used, but may be required. You should check
with your legal department to insure that local laws and customs are adhered to
and followed.
2.5 NetSpeak will provide to Motorola camera-ready artwork of the Trademarks.
Motorola may not alter this artwork in any way whatsoever.
2.6 Motorola may only reproduce the Trademarks in accordance with the
instructions included on the camera-ready artwork which will be provided by
NetSpeak to Motorola. The Trademarks artwork may not be recreated in any way.
Motorola may re-size the Trademarks using photographic proportional processes.
2.7 Motorola agrees not to use any other trademark, service xxxx or tradename
in combination with the Trademark without prior written approval of NetSpeak. A
minimum border must be placed around the Trademarks equal to one half of the
Trademark's largest dimension.
Page 7
CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY EXECUTION COPY
2.8 NetSpeak may conduct spot checks of the Licensed Products and advertising
and will periodically (but no more than twice a year) send out requests for
samples to monitor compliance with the Agreement and these Guidelines.
2.9 Motorola must correct any deficiencies in their use of the Trademarks on
the Licensed Products or in advertising, and cease and desist from further
publication or distribution of the offending materials upon reasonable notice
from NetSpeak.
2.10 Advertising Claims - The accuracy and appropriateness of all claims used in
Motorola's advertising or promotional materials which includes the Trademarks is
the sole responsibility of Motorola, even if NetSpeak is aware of the
advertisement or promotional materials.
