23rd day of March 2000.
PREAMBLE
ITC is desirous of receiving certain sales estimates and Licensee is willing to
provide such estimates, as provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. The existing Section 8.16 is renumbered to Section 8.17.
2. A new Section 8.16 is added reading as follows:
Thirty days after the end of each calendar quarter, Licensee
will provide ITC with a report setting for the number of
Covered Subscriber Unit sold during such calendar quarter.
Licensee may estimate such sales if Licensee has not completed
finalized its sales data as of the due date. To the extent
that such report does contain the final data and otherwise
meets the requirements of section 8.1, including
certification, Licensee need not submit a separate report with
payment as required under Section 8.1. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 8.16, payment by Licensee of
royalties owed shall be required only on a semi-annual basis,
as provided in Section 8.1.
3. All other provisions of the Agreement remain unaltered and in full
force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement by their duly
authorized representatives.
