modified Certification Requirements are received by IBM from Apple.
Each time a new model computer is submitted to Apple for testing,
Licensee shall pay Apple $ ** /hour for Apple's certification testing
not to exceed $ ** . For certification purposes, a computer is
considered a new model if it has a different (1) logic board layout,
(2) processor speed, or (3) processor. If Licensee believes that a
change in the foregoing aspects of a model will not affect the results
of Apple's certification testing, it will notify Apple of the change
it intends to make, and if Apple in its reasonable judgment believes
that such change will affect the certification results, Apple will
notify Licensee to submit the changed model for re-certification.
Licensee shall submit to Apple, or its designated agent, prior to
first commercial shipment of each new model of computer to be

EXHIBIT B
LICENSED SOFTWARE
This exhibit sets forth the royalty rate and other terms relating to the
Licensed Software:
LICENSED SOFTWARE:
The Licensed Software consists of the Licensee non-CHRP (PowerPC and Motorola
68xxx) version and Licensee CHRP version of the Mac OS 7.5.x operating system,
Maintenance Releases, Minor Releases and System Updates thereto for Licensee
Computers in the following languages, as they become available:
US English, UK English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish,
Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese,
Japanese. (This license does not include a license to the Japanese fonts from
the FDPC consortium.)
Also, to the extent that other language versions become available to IBM from
Apple at royalty rates no greater than those for the above non-US English
language versions, IBM will make them available to Licensee hereunder.
ENABLING TECHNOLOGY:
Manufacturing Final Test Tool. This tool is used by Apple during the final
test phase in the manufacture of a Macintosh computer. This test is very
extensive. This tool is extensible to allow a licensee to create additional
tests beyond the tests created and provided by Apple. This tool includes:
complete documentation, header files, and libraries to enable a licensee to
create new tests to meet its additional requirements.
Apple Personal Diagnostics. This tool provides comprehensive diagnostic test
on logic board, hard disk, floppy disk drives, system software and display. It
also provides information about the system configuration. The Automatic
Diagnostics feature allows testing of the system automatically when the system
is not otherwise in use. These tools alert users to problems and suggest
corrections.
Mac OS Certification Environment. Apple is developing a new certification
procedure under which licensees of the Licensed Software will be able to
perform certification testing on their own with limited validation being
conducted by Apple. To enable such self-certification, Apple is developing a
tool, currently known as the Mac OS Certification Environment, which Apple
intends to provide to licensees of the Licensed Software and which will enable
licensees to determine, to a large extent, whether their computers meet the
Certification Requirements. Apple intends to provide pre-release copies of
this tool to licensees on an evaluation basis throughout 1996. Version 1.0 of
the tool is currently expected to be released by early 1997. Apple's goal is
to have self certification with validation fully in place at that time.
18 IBM CONFIDENTIAL
19
Pre-Release Seed copies of the Licensed Software. Enabling Technology includes
prerelease copies of the Licensed Software provided to Licensee.
The current versions of the Manufacturing Final Test Tool and Apple Personal
Diagnostics will be delivered to Licensee within thirty (30) days of the
Effective Date. Additional Enabling Technology and updates to the current
Enabling Technology will be made available to Licensee within thirty (30) days
of the date it is made available to IBM.
ROYALTY RATE AND PAYMENT TERMS:
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, royalties will be due and payable
upon all distributions of the Licensed Software by Licensee, except Maintenance
Releases, System Upgrades and Replacement Copies distributed pursuant to
Section 2.1(a)(iii) according to the following terms and payment schedule:
Royalty Payments will be based on quarterly unit volume. Quarterly unit volume
will be calculated based on the following four calendar quarters:
January-March, April-June, July- September, and October-December.
For the period starting on the Effective Date and ending on the last day of the
second full quarter after the Effective Date the royalty rate will be $ **
for U.S. English versions of the Licensed Software and $ ** for all other
language versions of the Licensed Software regardless of Licensee's actual
volume.
For all subsequent quarters (except as provided below) the royalty rates are:
Quarterly Unit Volume US Eng. Other
** $ ** $ **
When Licensee sells a model of Licensee Computer that is a desktop system
having an average price paid by the End User below $ ** or a notebook
computer having an average price paid by the End User below $ ** , the
royalty rates are:
Quarterly Unit Volume US Eng. Other
** $ ** $ **
Licensee must provide reliable evidence of the average street price of a model
of Licensee Computer (which IBM shall have the right to audit pursuant to
Section 3.2(b) above) to be entitled to the above discounted royalty rates.
Within fifteen (15) days after the close of each calendar month Licensee shall
provide a statement certified correct by an officer of Licensee, indicating the
number and type of copies distributed by
19 IBM CONFIDENTIAL
20
Licensee during the calendar month for which royalties are being paid, the
amount of royalties owed for the month, and an itemization of the volume of
Licensee Computers sold by Licensee in the U.S. versus the volume of Licensee
Computers sold by Licensee outside of the U.S.
IBM will invoice Licensee for the Royalty Payment amount which Licensee owes
for the unit volume for that month no sooner than fifteen (15) days after the
close of the calendar month. Payment by Licensee will be due within ** days
from the date of invoice. Late payment of invoices will be assessed a charge
equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the
statutorily allowed maximum rate of interest in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. The royalty rate for the current quarter will be based on
the prior quarter unit volume. An adjustment will be made at the end of the
quarter to reflect the royalty rate for the quarterly unit volume actually
achieved. Each Royalty Payment shall be accompanied by a statement of the type
described in the previous paragraph indicating the number and type of copies
distributed by Licensee during the calendar month. In the event that Licensee
fails to provide a statement to IBM within fifteen (15) days of the end of the
calendar month, IBM will invoice Licensee based on the number of IBM
Microprocessors shipped from the Effective Date through the end of the calendar
month, less the number of units of Licensed Software on which a royalty has
previously been paid.
DELIVERY OF LICENSED SOFTWARE:
IBM will deliver to Licensee the IBM U.S. English version of Mac OS 7.6 and
the corresponding End User Documentation in electronic form within fifteen (15)
days of the Effective Date.
Each language version of MAC OS 7.6 and any Minor Release or Maintenance
Release thereafter for the Licensed Software will be delivered to Licensee
within thirty (30) days of the date IBM receives each such language version.
