1.6 "Product Documentation" means a copy of the Emulex Product user
manual and diagnostic software documentation, if any.
1.7 "Derivative Work" means a product or other work that is based upon
one or more pre-existing products or other works, such as a
revision, modification, translation (including compilation or
recapitulation), abridgment, condensation, expansion, or any other
form in which a pre-existing product or work may be recast, adapted,
transformed, or otherwise altered, and that, if prepared without
authorization by the owner of the pre-existing work, would
constitute an infringement of the owner's intellectual property
rights.
2. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
Subject to payment of the royalties as described in Section 5, Emulex
hereby licenses Egenera to manufacture, use, and sell or otherwise
distribute the Emulex Product in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. This Agreement is non-exclusive and the parties may
enter into similar agreements with other parties.
3. TERM AND TERMINATION
3.1 This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless
terminated as provided elsewhere herein, shall remain in full force
and effect for a period of two years. Egenera may request renewal of
this Agreement for an additional term of one year by providing a
written renewal request to Emulex no later than ninety days prior to
the end of the initial term.
3.2 Egenera may terminate this Agreement at any time, without cause, by
giving Emulex at least ten days' prior written notice. Either party
may immediately terminate this Agreement if the other party fails to
perform any of the material obligations imposed upon it under the
terms of this Agreement so as to be in default hereunder and fails
to cure such default within thirty days after receiving written
notice thereof.
3.3 The licenses granted hereunder shall end upon termination or
expiration of this Agreement, except as may be required for Egenera
to continue to support its end users' use and operation of the
Emulex Product. Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not
relieve the parties of any obligations incurred prior to the date of
termination.
4. GRANT OF LICENSE
4.1 During the term of this Agreement, Emulex hereby grants to Egenera
all appropriate rights and licenses under Emulex's applicable
patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights,
including the Source Documentation ("Emulex IP") necessary to enable
Egenera to have the Emulex Product manufactured by Manufacturers'
Services Limited ("MSL"), and to use, market, promote, lease, sell
and otherwise distribute the Emulex Product, when such Emulex
Product is incorporated into the Egenera Product or for add-ons and
field replacements, and to have the Emulex Product repaired by MSL.
Emulex also
Page 2 of 14
grants Egenera the right to reproduce or have reproduced the
Software for distribution in binary code form for use with the
Emulex Product. Egenera shall not have the right to (a) make any
Derivative Work of the Emulex Product, except as may be necessary to
allow Egenera to develop, market, sell or otherwise distribute the
Egenera Product; (b) make any Derivative Work of the Emulex Product,
Software, or Source Documentation, where such Derivative Work would,
in practices customary to the computer industry, be considered a new
or succeeding generation of the Emulex Product; or (c) use the
Emulex IP to create products that compete, directly or indirectly,
with the Emulex Product or other products manufactured and sold or
otherwise distributed by Emulex. Egenera shall use the Additional
Documentation for documentation purposes only, and shall not make
any Derivative Work of the Additional Documentation without Emulex's
express written permission.
4.2 Emulex agrees that Egenera shall have the right to have the Emulex
Product manufactured and repaired by a contract manufacturer other
than MSL if MSL (a) is unable to manufacture the Emulex Product in
sufficient quantities to fulfill Egenera's orders; (b) experiences a
decrease in Emulex Product quality such that Egenera is unable to
meet its customers' requirements; or (c) otherwise defaults in its
obligations to manufacture the Emulex Product; and (d) any or all of
the foregoing are not remedied within a reasonable time after
Egenera provides notice and an opportunity to cure such default. If
Egenera elects, under this Section, to have the Emulex Product
manufactured by a contract manufacturer other than MSL, Egenera
shall provide Emulex with timely written notice of such change,
including name and address of the new contract manufacturer and the
reason for the change.
4.3 Emulex hereby grants Egenera a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty
free, fully paid-up right and license to use, adapt, make, or have
made Derivative Works of all or any portion of the Product
Documentation, solely for use and distribution with the Emulex
Product.
4.4 Egenera shall make all Product purchases directly from MSL. Emulex
shall authorize MSL to accept Product orders from Egenera and/or
Egenera's contract manufacturers; however, Egenera shall be solely
responsible for managing the relationships between MSL and each of
the contract manufacturers. As of the Effective Date hereof,
Egenera's contract manufacturers are: (a) SMTC - Boston, with
offices at Franklin Industrial Park, 000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxx
000, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000; (b) SMTC - Canada, with offices at 000 Xxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X0X 0X0, Xxxxxx; and (c) DTI, with offices at
000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, X.X. Xxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000.
Egenera may add or delete contract manufacturers by prior written
request to Emulex and Emulex will authorize MSL to accept orders
from new contract manufacturers.
4.5 Except as specified herein, Emulex shall retain all right, title,
and interest in and to the Emulex Product, Software, Product
Documentation, and the Emulex IP licensed hereunder.
4.6 Egenera shall not publicize or use the name or trademark of Emulex
in any manner related to this Agreement without Emulex's written
consent. Egenera
Page 3 of 14
shall not issue any press release or other publicity regarding this
Agreement without Emulex's prior written consent.
5. ROYALTIES AND AUDIT RIGHTS
5.1 As of the Effective Date hereof and in consideration for the Emulex
IP license granted hereunder, Egenera shall pay to Emulex royalties
of [**]% of Egenera's cost of goods for the following Emulex
Products:
Falcon ASIC (GNNA100-01)
CLAN5300 Board Stack Assembly (891000002)
CLAN1000 HBA (cLAN1000)
Upon the Effective Date, Emulex shall fully disclose to Egenera
Emulex's cost of goods for the Emulex Products, including MSL's
warranty terms, for the first calendar quarter that this Agreement
is in effect. Such information shall be in the form of a price sheet
and costed xxxx of materials, and shall be transmitted to Egenera
electronically. Thereafter, Egenera will negotiate such costs and
warranty terms with MSL and will notify Emulex within thirty days of
the end of each calendar quarter of the total amount due from
Egenera to MSL during that quarter, in order that Emulex may
calculate royalties due from Egenera hereunder.
Emulex hereby represents that the Emulex Product costs are
negotiated with MSL quarterly; and that since Egenera's royalty
payments are based on those costs, the total royalty payments due
from Egenera to Emulex will change in accordance with any change in
Emulex Product costs.
5.2 Egenera shall pay such royalties no later than thirty days after the
end of each calendar quarter. The royalties described or
contemplated under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. dollars.
Such royalties do not include federal, state, or local excise,
sales, or use taxes. If such taxes are applicable, Egenera shall be
responsible for calculating the appropriate tax and adding it to the
royalty payments. Emulex shall not be required to issue invoices or
calculate any taxes that may be due hereunder.
5.3 Egenera shall make royalty payments by wire transfer to the
following account:
Silicon Valley Bank
00 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000
Xxxxxx, XX 00000
Account #00000000-70
ABA #0000-0000-0
5.4 Egenera shall keep written records documenting its manufacture of
the Emulex Products in sufficient detail to allow Emulex to
determine whether Egenera's royalty payments are accurate. At the
end of each calendar quarter, Egenera shall furnish a report to
Emulex summarizing its Emulex Product manufacturing activities,
including at a minimum, the number of Emulex Products manufactured
and related royalty calculations.
Page 4 of 14
5.5 Emulex shall have the right, no more frequently than once per year,
upon reasonable prior notice and subject to appropriate
confidentiality provisions, to audit Egenera's records to determine
the accuracy of Egenera's royalty payments; however, if Emulex
reasonably determines that Egenera's royalties are underpaid in any
one calendar quarter by five percent or more, Emulex may increase
the frequency of its audits to quarterly until Egenera demonstrates
to Emulex's reasonable satisfaction that its royalty payments are
accurate. In the event any underpayment is discovered, Egenera shall
immediately make payment to correct the underpayment.
6. SUPPORT SERVICES
6.1 Emulex shall provide Egenera with manufacturing transition support
services as follows: 20 hours from the date that Emulex makes the
Emulex IP available to Egenera through June 30, 2002; and ten hours
per calendar quarter thereafter through the term of this Agreement.
Such manufacturing transition support shall include services such as
training, time with key suppliers, and the like.
6.2 Emulex shall provide Egenera with general engineering support in the
form of technical consultation as follows: 10 hours per calendar
quarter through the term of this Agreement. Requests for such
support shall be made by Egenera to a support coordinator to be
named by Emulex, who will track and report the time used by Egenera.
6.3 All support described in this Section 6 shall be on a resources
available basis only. The quarterly hourly limits shall not be
cumulative; if Egenera uses less time than allotted per quarter, the
remaining time shall not carry forward into subsequent quarters. If
Egenera's requests for support exceed the time limits set forth
herein, Egenera may request additional support, Emulex will evaluate
Egenera's request in light of resource availability and other
relevant factors, and if Emulex accepts Egenera's request, the
parties will mutually agree to time limits and the type of support
required. Egenera shall pay $[**] per hour of support in excess of
the hourly limits set forth above.
6.4 If Emulex personnel incur travel or other expenses while providing
support to Egenera, Egenera shall reimburse Emulex for actual,
documented costs of travel, lodging, meals, and other necessary
related expenses.
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
7.1 Emulex makes no warranties whatsoever, express or implied, with
respect to the Emulex IP. Egenera agrees that the Emulex IP is
accepted and utilized "AS IS" without warranty of any kind. Emulex
does not warrant to correct any defects or errors that may exist in
the Emulex Product, Software, Source Documentation, or Product
Documentation.
7.2 Emulex represents and warrants that it has the right to enter into
this Agreement and to grant the licenses granted herein.

other party information considered confidential and proprietary
information of the disclosing party ("Confidential Information").

Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is requested
by the order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative

are considered Confidential Information.

intellectual property right of any third party, and to indemnify
Egenera for its related costs, expenses, and damages, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, and to pay those costs, expenses and

sole authority and control to settle or defend the claim, at
Emulex's expense. Emulex reserves the right to choose the attorneys
who may pursue any action that arises under this section.
9.2 Emulex shall have no liability to Egenera to the extent that a claim
of infringement is based upon: (i) compliance with designs, plans,
or specifications of Egenera; (ii) the combination of the Emulex
Product with other product or devices not purchased hereunder where
the Emulex Product itself would not be infringing; or (iii)
modifications of the Emulex Product made by Egenera where unmodified
Emulex Product would not be infringing.
10. LIABILITY FOR INJURY
Emulex shall indemnify and defend Egenera against all claims, suits,
