2.10 Phoenix will not deliver any particular Beta Release or higher
version (i.e. Beta Release 1, Beta Release 2, Beta Release X, or
Production Release) of any Dedicated Development to any customer
until 90 days after the date on which Intel first delivers the same
particular version of such Dedicated Development to any customer.
Furthermore, Phoenix will not deliver any version of any particular
Dedicated Development to any third party before Phoenix is entitled
to deliver a Beta Release version of such Dedicated Development to a
third party. Those portions of Dedicated Developments which solely
support commercially available Intel chips are exempt from this
provision. Those portions of Dedicated Developments which solely
support standard chips from third parties may be exempt from this
provision at Intel's option, and upon written notice to Phoenix by
Intel.
2.11 No rights or licenses are granted, whether expressly, by
implication, or by estoppel, under or with respect to any
Confidential Information or patent, copyright, trade secret,
trademark, maskwork, or other intellectual property right owned or
controlled by either Party, except as expressly set forth in this
Section 2. Furthermore, without limiting the foregoing, Phoenix
acknowledges that it receives no right, license, release or immunity,

3. MATTERS RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT OF SOFTWARE BY PHOENIX UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT
3.1 (a) Intel and Phoenix will meet periodically, at Intel's
reasonable request, to discuss Intel's plans [*] and technology
(other than Intel Products). Intel will at its sole discretion
determine the information it will disclose to Phoenix, and
Intel may, as a condition of disclosing information, request that
Phoenix sign other documents or non-disclosure agreements covering
protection of Intel's intellectual property. Intel and Phoenix will
agree in writing on the features and/or functionality for Phoenix
Products that Phoenix will deliver to support such plans and the
schedule therefore. Phoenix will use commercially reasonable efforts
to develop such features and/or functionality in accordance with
such agreement. Failure of Intel and Phoenix to agree upon the
applicable features, functionality, and/or schedule for Phoenix
Products, or failure of Phoenix to use commercially reasonable
efforts to implement such agreement, will, in Intel's sole
discretion, be grounds for termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 10.2(b) below and applicable sections of Exhibit B.
(b) In consideration of the provision by Intel of significant Intel
Confidential Information to Phoenix, Phoenix agrees that, during the
term of this Agreement, it will first develop new features for Phoenix
Products for microprocessors implementing the Intel Architecture
(provided such new features are capable of being used on the Intel
Architecture) and only to the extent such microprocessors implement
the Intel Architecture, and [*].
3.2 Phoenix will deliver to Intel one copy of the Source and
Object Code for the Phoenix Products and Updates and Enhancements
within three (3) working days of the earlier of (i) the date when
shipped as a Production Release to more than one Phoenix customer
and (ii) the date when released internally for pre-release use
within Phoenix in alpha or beta release form if (a) it becomes part
of Phoenix's written corporate plan for new standard product
features which has been approved by Phoenix's chief executive
officer or chief technology officer, or (b) it has been presented to
more than one Phoenix customer as a new product which will be
available to more than one Phoenix customer. In addition, Phoenix
will deliver to Intel Dedicated Developments

in accordance with milestones in the agreed upon schedule. Furthermore,
no later than June 30, 1996, Phoenix will provide access via electronic
data link to Phoenix's source code database, including any Software due
to Intel under this Agreement, no less frequently than Phoenix updates
its own remote source code databases. Phoenix will deliver to
Intel one copy of the Source and Object Code for any Phoenix Product
or Dedicated Development tailored to or optimized for Intel Products
no later than ten (10) calendar days before delivery to any third
party.
3.3 Phoenix will assign a number of engineers who will comprise the
Dedicated Engineering Team and will render services solely in
connection with development and deployment of Phoenix Products and
Dedicated Developments in or on Intel Products. The timetable for
establishing the Dedicated Engineering Team, which will initially be
comprised of twenty (20) persons, is set forth in Exhibit D hereto.
The number of engineers assigned on an on-going basis to the Dedicated
Engineering Team will be determined in accordance with a schedule from
time to time agreed to by Intel and Phoenix, but at no time will the
number be less than twenty (20); provided, however, that Intel shall
have the right to reduce the number of engineers on the Dedicated
Engineering Team below twenty (20) if in Intel's reasonable judgment
the performance of the Dedicated Engineering Team has not been
satisfactory, and if Intel has notified Phoenix in writing of such
unsatisfactory performance and specified to Phoenix in writing what
Phoenix must do to render such performance satisfactory to Intel, and
then attempted to work with Phoenix to resolve the unsatisfactory
performance for at least ninety (90) days. If Intel does reduce the
number of engineers on the Dedicated Engineering Team below twenty
(20), then Intel shall be entitled to reduce the Annual Fee by [*] for
each engineer removed, pro-rated for that portion of the Year during
which such engineer is removed; provided, however, that if Phoenix can
document to Intel in writing that the [*] cost [*] to Phoenix (as
calculated in accordance with Phoenix's usual accounting procedures)
of the remaining members of the Dedicated Engineering Team is greater
than [*] per year, then the amount that Intel shall be entitled to
reduce the Annual Fee with respect to each such engineer shall be
diminished by an amount equal to the difference between such [*]cost
to Phoenix per engineer and [*].
Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties
agree that, with respect to any notification by Intel of
unsatisfactory performance, (i) if Phoenix has previously been given
a notice of unsatisfactory performance within the preceding
twenty-four (24) month period, then the period during which Intel
will be required to work with Phoenix to resolve the unsatisfactory
performance will be reduced to thirty (30) days, and (ii) if Phoenix
has previously been given at least two (2) notices of unsatisfactory
performance within the preceding twenty-four (24) month period, then
Intel may reduce the Dedicated Engineering Team without any
obligation on Intel to first work with Phoenix to resolve the
unsatisfactory performance.
3.4 (a) Intel may request that Phoenix increase the number of
engineers comprising the Dedicated Engineering Team to more than
twenty (20) by giving Phoenix written notice of such request at least
[*] days prior to the date on which Intel is requesting that such
additional engineers become part of the Dedicated Engineering Team.
Phoenix agrees to comply with any request which would not cause
a cumulative increase in the number of members of the Dedicated
Engineering Team by more than [*] of the number of members in a
given Year. In the event the number of engineers is increased
beyond twenty (20), then Phoenix shall invoice Intel for such
additional engineers in accordance with the rates set forth in
Section 4.1 (d).
(b) Intel, in its sole discretion, may reduce the Dedicated
Engineering Team to any number equal or greater to twenty (20) by
giving Phoenix at least [*] days notice prior to the date on
which Intel is requesting that such reduction occur; provided,
however, that the charges invoiced by Phoenix hereunder for
such engineers will be reduced by the then-current
The portions marked by [*] have been omitted and filed separately with the
SEC pursuant to a request for confidential treatment
-6-
charge for the particular engineers removed, pro-rated for that portion
of the Year during which such engineers are removed.
3.5 Intel will have the right to require up to twenty (20) members
of the Dedicated Engineering Team to be located at a site or sites,
selected by Phoenix, near facilities where Intel's organization
supporting system-level software on Intel Products are located, such
location presently being Hillsboro, Oregon. Phoenix will have the
right to determine where any members of the Dedicated Engineering
Team beyond such members near Intel's facility will be located. If
Intel moves such Intel facilities or parts thereof to a place which
is more than twenty-five (25) miles from the present site and
requests that Phoenix move all or a portion of the On-Site
Engineering Team to or near the new site, Intel will be responsible
for reimbursing Phoenix for the following actual and reasonable costs
associated with relocating its employees to a new site, to the
extent consistent with Intel's employee relocation reimbursement
policies:
(a) the out of pocket costs for transportation, lodging, meals,
and shipping required to move the members of the On-Site Engineering
Team and the members of their household, equipment, furniture and
fixtures,
(b) the out of pocket transportation, lodging and meals costs for
up to [*] trips for no more than [*] per trip by no more than [*]
Phoenix personnel charged with locating and establishing a new work
site for the On-Site Engineering Team, and
(c) reimbursement of up to [*] months worth of rent incurred to
terminate any lease relating to the previous site for the On-Site
Engineering Team, provided that such [*] month maximum reimbursement
amount shall be reduced by [*] rent for each month of advance notice
beyond [*] months' advance notice that Intel gives Phoenix prior to
moving the On-Site Engineering Team.
If Intel requests that the On-site Engineering Team be split among
multiple sites and Phoenix documents in advance in writing to Intel's
Business Coordinator that Phoenix's reasonable costs are increased by
such multiple sites, and if Intel elects to split the On-site
Engineering Team among multiple sites after receiving such
information, then Intel shall reimburse Phoenix for the difference
in costs to Phoenix between having such multiple sites and having a
single site for the first year of startup and maintaining each such
new site.
3.6 Phoenix will perform the work outlined in Exhibit D, and Intel
and Phoenix representatives comprised of the Coordinators and, if
appropriate, members of the Dedicated Engineering Team and of the
Intel engineers, will meet from time to time (but no less often than
quarterly) to establish by mutual agreement a list of future
deliverables in addition to the work in Exhibit D, including
specifications, milestones, and schedules, for the Dedicated
Engineering Team. Failure to agree on such a list of deliverables or
failure to agree on a license requested by Phoenix pursuant to
Section 3.9 may, in Intel's sole discretion, be treated the same as
failure to provide satisfactory performance as provided in Section
3.3, entitling Intel to reduce the number of members of the Dedicated
Engineering Team.
3.7 Phoenix will have the right to reassign any member of the
Dedicated Engineering Team, provided that it replaces that member
with another person with equivalent skills. Intel will have the right
to request the immediate removal of any member of the Dedicated
Engineering Team for security or safety reasons or any other reason
under Intel's personnel policies for which employees can be
dismissed, upon written notice to Phoenix. Phoenix will have a
reasonable period of time, but not more than [*] days, to
replace such member.
The portions marked by [*] have been omitted and filed separately with the
SEC pursuant to a request for confidential treatment
-7-
3.8 In addition, Intel and Phoenix will discuss and attempt to
resolve any assertion by Intel that a member of the Dedicated
Engineering Team fails to meet reasonable performance standards. If
Intel and Phoenix agree that such member should be removed from the
team, Phoenix will have a reasonable period of time, but not more
than [*] days, to replace such member.
3.9 In the event that Intel and Phoenix agree that any features
and/or functionality for Phoenix Products developed or to be
developed by Phoenix pursuant to Section 3.1(a) requires a license
under one or more patent claims and/or copyrights of Intel
specifically identified by Phoenix in writing that cover such
features and/or functionality and are necessary for Phoenix to make,
have made, use, sell, lease, copy, modify, or distribute such
features and/or functionality embodied in software provided such
software is incorporated only in Phoenix Products, and Phoenix and
Intel are unable to agree to reasonable terms for such license, then
Phoenix shall be relieved of its obligations under Section 3.1(a) to
develop and support such features and/or functionality for Intel.
Intel may elect to grant or not grant any such license in its sole
discretion. If Intel does agree to grant such a license, such grant
shall be pursuant to a separate written agreement between the
parties. In the event that Intel does not agree with Phoenix that a
license from Intel under one or more patent claims or copyrights
specifically identified in writing by Phoenix is required in order
for Phoenix to make, have made, use, sell, lease, copy, modify or
distribute products incorporating such features and/or functionality
embodied in software, then Intel will either promptly so state to
Phoenix in writing or else Phoenix shall be relieved of its
obligations under Section 3.1(a) to develop and support such a
feature for Intel.
In the event that Intel and Phoenix agree that any Dedicated
Development developed or to be developed by Phoenix under Section 3.6
requires a license under one or more patent claims and/or copyrights
of Intel specifically identified by Phoenix in writing that cover
such Dedicated Development and are necessary for Phoenix to make,
have made, use, sell, lease, copy, modify, or distribute such
Dedicated Development embodied in software provided such software is
incorporated only in Phoenix Products, and Phoenix and Intel are
unable to agree to reasonable terms for such license, then Phoenix
shall not be required hereunder to devote more than [*] of the
Dedicated Engineering Team to the development and support of such
Dedicated Development for Intel. Intel may elect to grant or
not grant any such license in its sole discretion. If Intel does
agree to grant such a license, such grant shall be pursuant to
a separate written agreement between the parties. In the event
that Intel does not agree with Phoenix that a license from Intel
under one or more patent claims or copyrights specifically
identified in writing by Phoenix is required in order for Phoenix
to make, have made, use, sell, lease, copy, modify or distribute
products incorporating such Dedicated Development embodied in
software, then Intel will either promptly so state to Phoenix in
writing or else Phoenix shall not be required hereunder to devote
more than [*] of the Dedicated Development Team to the development
and support of such Dedicated Development for Intel.
3.10 Phoenix will submit a monthly report in a format acceptable to
both Parties which includes as a minimum a summary of status of all
Phoenix activities then underway under this Agreement, a description
of the technical design concepts or approach for each activity,
progress against schedule, and significant developments and problems
during the reporting period. Intel's receipt of this report shall
in no way be deemed to constitute input from Intel with respect
designs, specifications, and instructions for Phoenix Products and
Dedicated Developments.
3.11 Phoenix will submit to Intel a resume (but without the name of
the individual on such resume) for every engineer which Phoenix
intends to assign to the Dedicated Engineering Team not less than two
weeks before such assignment. Intel may review and comment on such
resumes, but selection of qualified personnel is at Phoenix's sole
discretion.

4.3 MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS; AUDIT RIGHTS
(a) For a period of two (2) years following payment by one Party of
any amount owed the other Party hereunder, each Party will maintain any
records it may have with respect to such payment, which in the case of
Intel shall include records showing the number of units of Intel
Products or other products incorporating Phoenix Products or Dedicated
Developments shipped by Intel and/or its sublicensees with respect to
any Year for which a Per Copy Royalty may be due, and in the case of
Phoenix shall include records relating to reimbursable costs under
Section 3.5, to third party software royalties or license fees under
Section 4.1(e) and to charges for additional engineering services
rendered pursuant to Section 9.4. In the case of Intel, such records
will include any records received by Intel from its sublicensees or

(5) business days' notice to the other Party, cause an audit to be
performed by an independent auditor acceptable to both Parties of the
records of the other Party described in Section 4.3(a) above. The
audit shall be for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of the
payment of fees and royalties or other charges in accordance with
this Agreement (including without limitation Exhibit B attached
hereto) and the obtaining of appropriate licenses with sublicensees.
The auditor will report to the Party commissioning the audit only
such information obtained during the course of such audit as is
necessary to determine whether the payments made by the other Party
hereunder were correct and/or appropriate licenses with sublicensees
were obtained. Each Party may cause such audits to be conducted not
more frequently than once in any Year and only during normal business
hours and at the other Party's facility(ies) where such records are
kept. If any such audit discloses an error in payment by either Party
of amounts owed the other Party in an amount greater than 5% of the
total amounts owed for the period audited, the audited Party will
also reimburse the commissioning Party for all expenses (including
the fees and expenses incurred by the independent third party
referred to in the first sentence hereof) in connection with such
audit.
4.4 PAYMENT
(a) Phoenix will issue Intel an invoice for any charges due
hereunder for additional engineering help requested from Phoenix
pursuant to Section 9.4 below, and for any charges due pursuant to
Sections 3.4 and 3.5 above and Sections 4.1(d) and 11(a)(ii) below.
Such amounts shall be payable forty-five (45) calendar days after the
close of the month in which the invoice is received.
-10-
(b) Intel will submit Shipment and Royalty Reports to Phoenix
within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar
quarter during the Term and any period thereafter during which
Intel may have per unit royalty payment or Source Code sublicense
fee payment obligations hereunder to Phoenix under Sections 4.1(b),
4.1(c), and 4.1(e). Such reports will indicate the shipments (if
any) by Intel or its sublicensees with Phoenix Products or
Dedicated Developments in excess of Schedule Units for which a per
copy royalty has not previously been paid, and the names of any
sublicensees to whom Intel has issued a Source Code sublicense
during such quarter and the version of the Source Code sublicensed.
Such reports will be accompanied by a check for the amount of the
Source Code license fees due Phoenix pursuant to Exhibit B hereto
for any Source Code sublicenses and for the amount of the aggregate
per copy royalties due Phoenix, if any, for such quarter.

be used with any processor, motherboard, or multi-chip module
manufactured by a party other than Intel. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as preventing employees of one Party who
have had access to such Source Code or Confidential Information of
the other Party from drawing upon or using any skills, knowledge,
talent or experience of a general nature acquired by them in the
course of working with such Source Code or Confidential Information,
provided that (i) such employees may not refer directly to such
Source Code or Confidential Information of the other Party in
tangible form when working on equivalent or substitute products or
other products of such Party, and (ii) such employees do not infringe
copyrights or patents of the other Party not otherwise within the
scope of any licenses granted to such Party hereunder.

Agreement or any of its terms without the other's prior written
approval, which approval will not be delayed or unreasonably
withheld. Either Party may disclose this Agreement to the extent
required by law or judicial order, or rules or regulations of any
federal, state, or local organization, provided that the disclosing
Party will notify the other Party of the portions of the Agreement it
intends to disclose promptly before such disclosure and will
cooperate with the other Party to the maximum extent possible to seek
confidential treatment with respect to the disclosure if requested by
the other Party.

and such joint ownership shall be without rights or obligations of
accounting. If the parties do not specify that a particular item of
technology or Software or a particular product that is jointly
developed by Phoenix and Intel is to be jointly owned, then the
parties intend that such technology, Software and/or product will not
be a joint work, and each Party will have separate ownership of those
portions of such technology, Software and/or products that it created
or developed. With respect to technology, Software and/or products
that are jointly owned, either Party may seek patent protection, or
trademark and copyright registrations, with respect to such jointly
owned technology, Software and/or products in the names of the
parties as joint owners, and the parties shall share equally the cost
of doing so. In the event that one Party elects not to share in the
cost of seeking patent protection, or trademark and copyright
registrations, with respect to a particular item of such technology,
Software and/or products, then (i) the other Party may do so in its
own name only and at its sole expense, (ii) the Party electing not to
share in such expenses will execute any documents and take any action
reasonably requested to allow the other Party to seek such protection
and registrations in its name only, and (iii) the Party in whose name
such patent or trademark or copyright registration issues shall
grant, and does hereby grant to the other Party, a non-exclusive,
worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, unrestricted, royalty free
license, with full rights to sublicense, under the same.
13. DEVELOPMENT OF A TRANSITION PLAN
-17-
The Parties will work together to mutually agree, on or before
February 15, 1996, to a written plan (the "Transition Plan") that
defines the work, specifications, milestones, schedule, staffing, any
rights Intel may choose to grant Phoenix in any intellectual property
which Intel may choose to disclose to Phoenix, and/or deliverables
(the "Transition Services") to be performed by Phoenix to modify the
Phoenix Products as necessary to enable them to support the range of
features required by Intel to transition to the Phoenix Products for
use with and/or incorporation into the Intel Products. The
Transition Plan will also include performance metrics required for
Phoenix to earn the bonus of [*] for calendar 1996 set forth
in Exhibit B. The Transition Plan will provide that Phoenix will
use up to ten (10) members of the Dedicated Engineering Team, and
at least an equal number of skilled Phoenix engineers not
on the Dedicated Engineering Team, during calendar 1996 to perform
the Transition Services. Intel will assign the equivalent of at
least two (2) full time senior engineers skilled in Intel's desktop
computer products and the equivalent of at least two (2) full time
senior engineers skilled in Intel's server computer products to
assist Phoenix in performing the Transition Services.
In the event the Parties are unable to agree to a Transition Plan
by February 15, 1996 (or such extended period as the Parties may
agree), then Intel may terminate this Agreement upon at least five
(5) days advance written notice to the other Party. In such event:
(i) the [*] payment to be made by Intel hereunder upon execution
of this Agreement as provided in Section 4.1(a) will remain
nonrefundable; (ii) each Party will, within five (5) business
days, return to the other Party all Source Code of the other Party
and all tangible embodiments of the other Party's Confidential

remain the property of Intel or its vendor. Intel retains the royalty-free
right to use, copy, modify, sublicense, and distribute the Licensed
Program.
3.2 The Licensee owns any improvements which it makes to the Licensed

the underlying Licensed Program. Derivatives which include code from
the Licensed Program shall be subject to the restrictions of this
License and the SDDDLA.
3.3 Jointly developed improvements, if any, shall be specified in
writing in advance, and jointly owned.
4 CONFIDENTIALITY
---------------
4.1 Licensee agrees to receive and hold the Source Code in confidence.
Licensee agrees to exercise the same degree of care in preventing the
disclosure or unauthorized use of such Source Code as Licensee uses to
protect its own proprietary information, but in no event less than
reasonable care.. As a minimum protection, Licensee shall limit the
disclosure of the Source Code to employees having a need to know such
information, and shall not disclose the Source Code to any third party
individual, corporation, independent contractor, consultant or other
entity without the prior written consent of Intel. This obligation will

4.2 Licensee may not disclose nor allow use of the Source Code to or by
any of its groups, divisions or personnel involved in the development,
marketing and distribution of BIOS products and related system software
products on a stand-alone basis.
5 TERM AND TERMINATION
--------------------
5.1 The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date,
and shall continue for the shorter of the following time periods (i) if
the parties have not yet signed a SDDDLA, then until Intel determines
in its sole discretion that the Parties are unlikely to reach Agreement
on a SDDDLA, (ii) until the termination or expiration of the SDDDLA, if
one has been signed, or (iii) until Intel's license in portions of the
Licensed Program licensed from vendors expires or is terminated.
5.2 Intel reserves the right to have audits conducted to verify
compliance with this Agreement. In the event that Intel, in its sole
discretion, determines that the Licensed Program is not being used by
Licensee exclusively for the purposes set forth above, or if Licensee
is in breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Intel has the right to immediately terminate this Agreement, and revoke
any and all licenses granted hereunder. In such event, Licensee agrees
to immediately return all copies of the Source Code to Intel, and to
discontinue distribution of Object Code.
5.3 Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the sections of
this Agreement entitled Proprietary Rights and CONFIDENTIALITY shall
remain in effect.
5.4 Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall
discontinue all use of, and at Intel's disretion either return or
destroy all copies of, the Source Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Licensee may retain and continue to use a reasonable number of copies
of the Source Code for support purposes only.
6 EXPORT CONTROL
--------------
Licensee agrees that any export or re-export of any Licensed Programs
licensed or distributed under this Agreement shall be in compliance
with the laws of the United States of America.

written consent will be void. Intel may assign all or any part of its
rights or obligations without Licensee's consent.
8 GENERAL
-------
-32-
8.1 Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, because of the highly
confidential nature of the Source Code, any breach or threatened breach
by Licensee of the provisions of this Agreement entitled License Grant
and Restrictions and Confidentiality would cause irreparable harm to
Intel and its vendors. Accordingly, Licensee agrees that Intel and/or
its vendors will be entitled to preliminary injunctive relief to remedy
any such breach or threatened breach.
8.2 This document, including its attachments, constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior negotiations
and agreements. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement will
