2. LICENSE GRANTS AND RESTRICTIONS |
(a) MS grants to COMPANY the following non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license rights: |
(i) to use and create Modifications of the Documentation Sources, Header and Library Files, and Sample Code; |
(ii) to reproduce and distribute, directly or indirectly, each group of Core Files together as a single set, solely in conjunction with the Tools and not as a “stand-alone” product; |
(iii) to reproduce and distribute, directly or indirectly, the Object Code Files, Header and Library Files, and/or Modifications of the Documentation Sources and Header and Library files, or portion thereof, solely in conjunction with the Tools and not as a “stand-alone” product. |
(b) In partial consideration for the license granted to COMPANY in this Agreement, COMPANY agrees that it will not market, distribute or otherwise make available any product or other mechanism which would enable the Software, to be used (i) for the development of, or in conjunction with, any application other than an application that operates on MS Systems or (ii) in any operating system other than an MS System.

(c) COMPANY agrees to provide nothing with its Tools that will enable any .DLL, .DRV, .VXD, ..EXE, .SYS files (“MS Executables”) to run on a non-MS System. If an MS Executable in the form delivered by MS runs unaltered on a given non-MS operating system, this clause does not apply to that MS Executable for that operating system. |
(d) MS grants to COMPANY the right to grant to its end user customers of the Tools (“Tool Licensee”) a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to reproduce and distribute the object code version of the Redistributables provided that COMPANY contractually obligates any such end user to: (a) distribute the Redistributables only in conjunction with and as a part of their software application product which is designed, developed and tested to operate on an MS System; (b) distribute each group of Core Files together as a single set solely in conjunction with their software application; (c) refrain from using Microsoft’s name, logo, or trademarks to market such software application product, except as provided by separate agreement and provided that the end user may use Microsoft’s name when referring to the source of the Redistributables; (d) include a valid copyright notice on its software application product; (e) distribute the Redistributables only in conjunction with and as part of an application which adds significant and primary value to the Redistributables; (f) not permit further redistribution of the Redistributables by their end users; and (g) agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Microsoft from and against any claims or lawsuits, including attorney’s fees, that arise or result from the use or distribution of its software application product. |
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing: COMPANY shall have the right to sublicense any of the foregoing rights to a third party in connection with an agreement between COMPANY and third party to deliver the Tools embedded within or bundled with a product of a third party, provided that any such agreement between COMPANY and such third party expressly incorporates all the restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement. |
(f) COMPANY agrees not to (a) xxx or (b) bring, prosecute, assist or participate in any judicial, administrative or other proceedings of any kind against MS or its licensees (including without |
2 |
limitation end users and OEMs) for infringement of COMPANY Patents (as defined below) by a MICROSOFT tool product, the licensing of the Software to a third party licensee for a tool product, or such licensee’s tool product including such licensed Software, that occurs during the Immunity Period (as defined below) on account of the manufacture, use, sale, distribution, offer for sale, or importation to the U.S. of: |
(i) any releases of the Software licensed to COMPANY hereunder that are incorporated into such Microsoft or third party tool products, or are provided with such licensed Software, except as otherwise provided in subsection 2(f)(ii)(B) below; or |

(A) “COMPANY Patents” as used in this Section means all patents and patent applications throughout the world, other than design patents or the equivalent, owned, acquired by, or otherwise enforceable by COMPANY or its subsidiaries, for inventions made prior to termination or expiration of this Agreement, or for which COMPANY or its subsidiaries has or acquires rights prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The “Immunity Period” shall commence upon the first to issue and shall terminate upon the last to expire, of any of the COMPANY Patents (in any jurisdiction). |
(B) In the event that MS provides COMPANY a new release of the Software under this Agreement, and COMPANY determines that such new release uses or embodies inventions not used or embodied in a prior release of the Software licensed to COMPANY hereunder, COMPANY may elect to not license such new release by so notifying MS in writing within sixty (60) days after its receipt and prior to COMPANY’s shipment of such new release. COMPANY’s election under this paragraph shall not affect COMPANY’s obligations above with respect to any prior release(s) of the Software hereunder. |
(g) The parties agree that Section 2(f) shall not apply to Inprise Corporation or the Pre-approved Assignee (as defined in Section 11 below). This exemption is personal to Inprise and the Pre-approved Assignee and shall terminate upon assignment of this Agreement to any other party. |

11. GENERAL |
(a) The parties consent to the jurisdiction by the state and federal courts sitting in the states of Washington and California, and this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Process may be served on either party in the manner provided in Section 10 above, or by such other method as is authorized by law. |
(b) Neither this Agreement, nor any terms and conditions contained herein, shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship or as granting a franchise. |
(c) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or communications. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed on behalf of COMPANY and MS by their respective duly authorized representatives. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. |
(d) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. |
(e) Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and obligations hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the successors of the parties hereto, provided any rights or obligations hereunder shall not be assigned by COMPANY without the written consent of MS. For purposes of this Section 11(e), the term “assignment” shall include, without limitation, a merger or share exchange of the COMPANY into another entity, a sale of more than |
7 |
fifty percent (50%) of the assets of the COMPANY, or a sale or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the COMPANY. |
The parties acknowledge that the COMPANY may consider a divesture of the assets and liabilities associated with an operating unit of the COMPANY known as “xxxxxxx.xxx” (the “Pre-Approved Assignee”) to establish it as a separate legal entity owned by the current shareholders of the COMPANY in proportion to their ownership in the COMPANY. As part of that divestiture, this Agreement may be assigned by the COMPANY to the Pre-approved Assignee without written consent from Microsoft, provided that the Pre-approved Assignee assumes all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement in a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to Microsoft. The assignment shall be of the Agreement in full, with no rights under the Agreement remaining with the COMPANY. This paragraph shall not be construed as permitting an assignment of this Agreement in connection with a sale of xxxxxxx.xxx to any third party. |
In the case where COMPANY is acquired by a third party through a sale of substantially all of its assets or shares to another party (“Acquiring Company”), this Agreement may be assigned by COMPANY to Acquiring Company without written consent from Microsoft, provided that the Acquiring Company assumes all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 2(f), and the COMPANY or the Acquiring Company provide written notice to Microsoft of the occurrence of such transaction within ten (10) days after the closing of such transaction. The assignment shall be of the Agreement in full, with no rights under the Agreement remaining with COMPANY. |
(f) Any Software or Documentation which COMPANY distributes or licenses to or on behalf of the United States of America, its agencies and/or instrumentalities (the “Government”), is provided to COMPANY with RESTRICTED RIGHTS. Use, duplication or disclosure by the Government is subject to restriction as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFAR 252.227-7013, or as set forth in the particular department or agency regulations or rules which provide Microsoft protection equivalent to or greater than the above-cited clause. COMPANY shall comply with any requirements of the Government to obtain such RESTRICTED RIGHTS protection, including without limitation, the placement of any restrictive legends on the Tool documentation and any license agreement used in connection with the distribution thereof. Manufacturer is Microsoft Corporation, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000. Under no circumstances shall Microsoft be obligated to comply with any Governmental requirements regarding cost and pricing data and cost accounting. For any distribution or license of the Software or Documentation that would require compliance by Microsoft with Governmental requirements relating to cost and pricing data or cost accounting, COMPANY must obtain an appropriate waiver or exemption from such requirements for the benefit of Microsoft from the appropriate Governmental authority before the distribution and/or license of the Software or Documentation to the Government. |
(g) COMPANY acknowledges that the Software and Documentation are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the US, and any amendments thereof. COMPANY confirms that with respect to the Software and Documentation, it will not export or re-export them, directly or indirectly, either to (i) any countries that are subject to US export restrictions (currently including, but not necessarily limited to, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, and Syria); (ii) any end user who COMPANY knows or has reason to know will utilize them in the design, development or production of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons; or (iii) any end user who has been prohibited from participating in the US export transactions by any federal agency of the US government. COMPANY further acknowledges that the Software and Documentation may include technical data subject to export and re-export restrictions imposed by US law. |
(h) COMPANY shall, at its own expense, obtain and arrange for the maintenance in full force and effect of all governmental approvals, consents, licenses, authorizations, declarations, filings, and registrations as may be necessary for the performance of all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement including, but not limited to, foreign exchange approvals, import and offer agent licenses, fair trade approvals and all approvals which may be required to realize the purposes of the Agreement. |
8 |
(i) In the event taxes are required to be withheld by any foreign government on payments required hereunder, on such withholding taxes as will enable MS to claim and receive a U.S. Foreign Tax Credit, COMPANY may deduct such taxes from the amount owed MS and pay them to the appropriate tax authority; provided, however, that COMPANY shall promptly secure and deliver to MS an official receipt for any such taxes withheld or other documents necessary to enable MS to claim a U.S. Foreign Tax Credit. COMPANY will make certain that any taxes withheld are minimized to the extent possible under applicable law. Prices stated are exclusive of any federal, state, municipal or other governmental taxes, duties, licenses, fees, excises or tariffs now or hereafter imposed on COMPANY’s production, storage, licensing, sale, transportation, import, export or use of the Software and/or Documentation. Such charges shall be paid by COMPANY, or in lieu thereof, COMPANY shall provide an exemption certificate acceptable to MS and the applicable authority. MS, however, shall be responsible for all taxes based upon its personal property ownership and gross or net income. |
(j) If either MS or COMPANY employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in any judicial proceeding related to this Agreement. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date set forth above. All signed copies of this Agreement shall be deemed originals. |
