(i)

$5,000,000.00, payable by May 12, 2004 or within the GRACE PERIOD;

(ii)

$2,500,000.00, payable by July 1, 2004 or within the GRACE PERIOD; and

(iii)

$2,500,000.00, payable by October 1, 2004 or within the GRACE PERIOD

Each of the foregoing specified payments 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:Each of the foregoing specified payments shall be made in United States

[Confidential information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

The payment made pursuant to Section 2(a) does not include any payment for EXCLUDED PRODUCTS.

In the event GATEWAY fails to make any of the foregoing scheduled payments by the dates specified in Section 2(a) above, IHTC may provide notice of failure to pay, and GATEWAY shall have five (5) business days to cure the non-payment. This provision is not subject to Section 10(r). Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as relieving GATEWAY of making the payments specified in Section 2(a) above.

In the event GATEWAY fails to make any of the foregoing scheduled payments on the dates specified in paragraph 2(a) above, all remaining payments shall become immediately due and subject to payment of interest beginning immediately at an annualized rate of ten percent (10%), compounded semiannually. Additionally, in the event of such failure to make payment, IHTC shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, if any, required to enforce the payment obligation of Section 2(a) of this Agreement. Additionally, in the event of such failure to make payments, GATEWAY agrees and confesses that judgment shall be entered against it for the remaining unpaid amounts including all applicable interest payments. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas shall retain jurisdiction until such time as GATEWAY makes its final payment under this Agreement

GATEWAY acknowledges and agrees that the payments required under Section 2(a) of this Agreement represent a compromise of disputed claims. For that reason, GATEWAY further agrees that its obligation to make the payments set forth in Section 2(a) of this Agreement is independent of, and shall remain unaffected by, any and all rulings, findings, verdicts and/or judgments which are entered in the ACTION including, but not limited to, rulings, findings, verdicts and/or judgments, which relate to validity, enforceability and/or construction of the claims of the INTERGRAPH SYSTEM PATENTS.

The PARTIES agree that this settlement as to GATEWAY is intended solely as a compromise of disputed claims. Neither the fact of a PARTY's entry into this Agreement nor the terms hereof nor any acts undertaken pursuant hereto shall constitute an admission or concession by any PARTY hereto of liability or of the validity of any claim or defense asserted by any other PARTY in the ACTION. Neither the fact of a PARTY's entry into this Agreement nor the terms hereof nor any acts undertaken pursuant hereto shall be offered or admitted in evidence in any legal proceeding other than to enforce rights and obligations arising out of this Agreement.

THE PARTIES state that the payment of $10,000,000.00 by GATEWAY, and the payments made under Section 2(h)(i), are not indicative of what a reasonable royalty would be as determined in a suit for infringement because, among other reasons, the determination of a reasonable royalty in a patent infringement suit assumes that the patent is valid, enforceable and infringed, while in this case, GATEWAY'S payment of $10,000,000.00, as well as future payments under Section 2(h)(i), represent a compromise settlement of disputed issues concerning the alleged validity, enforceability and infringement of the INTERGRAPH SYSTEM PATENTS.

In further consideration of the rights granted herein, GATEWAY shall make the following payments to IHTC, in addition to the amounts payable under Section 2(a):

(i)

A royalty of $1.25 for each UNIT sold, leased or otherwise transferred by GATEWAY from the Effective Date until the expiration of the last to expire of the INTERGRAPH PATENTS on February 25, 2009, except that GATEWAY shall not be required to pay any royalty on an EXCLUDED PRODUCT or on a replacement GATEWAY COMPUTER SYSTEM transferred pursuant to warranty. Royalties shall accrue when a GATEWAY COMPUTER SYSTEM with respect to which royalty payments are required under this Agreement is first sold, leased or otherwise transferred in the United States of America

(ii)

GATEWAY shall make the royalty payments pursuant to Section 2(h)(i), within 30 days of each six-month period ending June 30 and December 31 of each successive year until the expiration of the last to expire of the INTERGRAPH PATENTS on February 25, 2009. All payments hereunder shall be made in United States currency.

(iii)

GATEWAY shall be entitled to a credit of $1.25 on each UNIT for which it pays a royalty under Section 2(h)(i) if such UNIT is returned to GATEWAY for a full refund or credit.

GATEWAY AND IHTC acknowledge that the aforementioned payments and royalty set forth herein is specifically based upon consideration of GATEWAY's financial condition; the litigation between the PARTIES; the issues raised by the ACTION; and the fact that the PARTIES' negotiations do not reflect what a willing licensee would pay a willing licensor in an arms'-length transaction. All rights and licenses hereunder shall become fully paid-up upon the last payment set required under Sections 2(h)(i) and 2(h)(ii).

REPORTS AND RECORDS

GATEWAY shall maintain, audit and retain its books and records in accordance with applicable SEC public company requirements. If GATEWAY should cease to be subject to SEC public company accounting and reporting requirements at any time, GATEWAY shall continue to keep full, true and accurate books and records which shall contain all information that may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of showing GATEWAY's compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation, the amounts payable to IHTC hereunder. Such books of account shall be kept at GATEWAY's principal place of business or the appropriate division or affiliated entity of GATEWAY to which this Agreement relates. Such books and the supporting data shall be open to inspection on behalf of IHTC upon reasonable written notice, which at a minimum shall be ten (10) business days, during reasonable business hours to the extent necessary for the purpose of verifying GATEWAY's royalty statement or compliance in other respects with this Agreement. Such inspections shall be made not more than twice each calendar year. Such inspection shall be at the expense of IHTC by an independent certified public accountant appointed by IHTC and to whom GATEWAY has no reasonable objection. GATEWAY may require that the independent certified public accountant appointed by IHTC execute a reasonable nondisclosure agreement as a condition of obtaining access to GATEWAY's books and records. GATEWAY shall retain such records for not less than three (3) years after the close of each calendar year to which the books and records pertain. In the event the independent certified public accountant determines that GATEWAY has underpaid any royalty, IHTC shall promptly inform GATEWAY and GATEWAY shall have thirty (30) days to pay IHTC any undisputed amounts owed to IHTC. If GATEWAY fails to make such payment for undisputed amounts owed by GATEWAY to IHTC within the thirty (30) day period, then the payment shall be subject to the interest obligations set forth in Section 3(d). In addition, if the underpayment is greater than five percent (5%), GATEWAY shall pay the reasonable cost to IHTC of having the independent certified public accountant conduct the inspection.

Within 30 days of June 30 and December 31 of each year in which GATEWAY is required to pay royalties under Sections 2(h)(i) and 2(h)(ii), GATEWAY shall deliver to IHTC a royalty report, which shall include, at a minimum, the following:

(i)

The quantity of UNITS sold, leased or transferred for which royalties are due under Section 2(h)(i);

(ii)

The quantity of UNITS returned to GATEWAY for which GATEWAY is seeking a credit under Section 2(h)(iii); and

(iii)

The royalty computations.

With each royalty report, GATEWAY shall pay IHTC the royalties due and payable under the Agreement. If no royalties shall be due, GATEWAY shall so report.

Any payments due from GATEWAY under Section 2(h)(i) that are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate which is the lesser of one percent (1.0%) per month or the maximum legal rate.

Payments by GATEWAY under Section 2(h)(i) shall be made by wire transfer to [confidential information has been omitted and filed separately with the commission]. Notice of payments shall be sent by GATEWAY to IHTC's address in Section 11.

IHTC shall bear all taxes imposed on it with respect to the payments of this Section provided, however, that if required by applicable law, GATEWAY shall withhold the amount of taxes levied on payments to be made by GATEWAY pursuant to this Agreement, and shall promptly make payment of the withheld amount to the appropriate tax authorities and shall transmit to IHTC official tax receipts or other evidence issued by such appropriate tax authorities to enable IHTC to support a claim for tax credit with respect to such withheld taxes so paid by GATEWAY. Except for the foregoing, GATEWAY shall be solely responsible and shall pay all taxes, levies and assessments, however characterized, arising from or relating to the rights licensed to it hereunder and its exercise of those rights.

LICENSE

IHTC grants to GATEWAY a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-bearing license, with no right to transfer to or sublicense other than to any SUBSIDIARY or AFFILIATE of GATEWAY, to practice the inventions claimed in the INTERGRAPH PATENTS (including without limitation all claims of such patents, including method, apparatus, business method and software) for the life thereof, including, without limitation, the right to make, have made, use, import, lease, offer to sell, sell or otherwise transfer GATEWAY COMPUTER SYSTEMS within the scope of the claims of the INTERGRAPH PATENTS. For the avoidance of doubt, all GATEWAY COMPUTER SYSTEMS made, used, imported, leased, offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred under this license are themselves licensed products, and such license passes to each owner, user, licensee lessee or transferee of such products.

The license contained in Section 4(a) shall apply only to IHTC and GATEWAY and shall not be construed to create any implied license under the INTERGRAPH PATENTS to any third party.

No implied licenses are granted hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall expressly or by implication or by estoppel or otherwise give either PARTY any right to license the other PARTY's patents to any third party.

MUTUAL RELEASE, COVENANT NOT TO XXX, AND DISMISSAL

Within ten (10) days after the execution of this Agreement by both PARTIES, the PARTIES agree to execute the Mutual Release attached hereto as Exhibit A and to instruct their attorneys upon execution of this Agreement to promptly take the necessary actions to dismiss with prejudice the PARTIES' respective claims in this ACTION as to each other. Each PARTY agrees to bear its own costs and attorneys' fees associated with the ACTION.

Upon the execution of this Agreement and as long as GATEWAY is not in breach of its payment obligations under this Agreement, GATEWAY will have no liability to INTERGRAPH under any claim of any of the INTERGRAPH PATENTS.

IHTC will not assert any claim for infringement of the INTERGRAPH PATENTS seeking recovery as to GATEWAY COMPUTER SYSTEMS licensed, released or otherwise covered under this Agreement.

TERM, TERMINATION AND ASSIGNABILITY

The term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date until the expiration of the last to expire INTERGRAPH PATENTS on February 25, 2009.

In the event of any material breach of this Agreement by either PARTY hereto, if such breach is not corrected within thirty (30) days after written notice describing such breach, this Agreement and all licenses and rights hereunder shall be terminated without any further notice.

Except as provided in this Section, neither party shall assign or transfer this Agreement (including any right or interest therein) or delegate any obligation under this Agreement to any third party, without the other party's prior written consent. For purposes of this Section, an "assignment" by GATEWAY under this Section shall include the assignment of this Agreement (including any right or interest therein) or delegation of any obligation under this Agreement, and shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the following: (a) a change in the beneficial ownership of GATEWAY of greater than fifty percent (50%) (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions to a single entity); or (b) the acquisition of more than fifty percent (50%) of GATEWAY's voting stock (or of non-voting securities convertible into voting stock) by another party (whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions to a single entity). Any attempted assignment in contravention of this Section shall be void and ineffective.

The rights or privileges provided for in this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by GATEWAY except as specifically set forth herein or with the prior written consent of IHTC.

IHTC agrees that if it attempts to sell, assign or otherwise transfer any patent under which a license has been granted pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Agreement, that sale, assignment or transfer shall be made subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The PARTIES agree that Sections 2, 3, 4, 5(b), 5(c), 6, 7, 10(k), 10(m) and 11 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

SUSPENSION OF LICENSES

Subject to Section 7(d), in the event that GATEWAY fails to make the payment pursuant to Section 2(a) hereunder when due and payable, all licenses granted hereunder shall be suspended immediately and without further action by IHTC only until such time as GATEWAY pays in full the amounts due, together with applicable late payment charges as provided in Section 2(d).

All GATEWAY COMPUTER SYSTEMS sold, leased or transferred during such suspension period shall be unlicensed under this Agreement. The licenses to any GATEWAY COMPUTER SYSTEMS sold, leased or otherwise disposed of subsequent to any such period of suspension shall be unaffected by the suspension.

GATEWAY COMPUTER SYSTEMS that are sold, leased, or transferred during any suspension period shall be deemed licensed as though there was no suspension period upon the cure by GATEWAY of the breach of its payment obligation under Sections 2(a) and 2(h) of the Agreement.

The licenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be suspended if GATEWAY's refusal to pay is based upon a good-faith belief that IHTC or its AFFILIATES has breached the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that if it is subsequently shown that there was no reasonable basis for GATEWAY's assertion, GATEWAY shall pay in the amounts due and the late payment charges under Section 3(d).

CONFIDENTIALITY OF TERMS

Neither PARTY 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 8(a).

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, both PARTIES acknowledge that GATEWAY is free to share the Agreement with its suppliers on a confidential basis for purposes of seeking indemnification and that the ACTION and the settlement thereof under the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be material events to either or both IHTC and GATEWAY 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 ACTION and agree that such disclosure shall not be considered a violation of paragraphs 8(a) or 8(b) of this Agreement.

CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS
