ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS KEY
(a) This Product is designed for use with Windows 95 and may not function
properly with other operating system products.
(b) The royalty rate(s) specified above require pre-installation of the Product
on each Customer System distributed with the Product.
CUSTOMER SYSTEMS
COMPANY's Customer Systems shall be the assembled computer systems described in
the table below which (i) are configured for use only by a single user; (ii) are
designed to use a video display and keyboard; and (iii) include at least a CPU,
a motherboard, a power supply, and a case. Each listed Customer System must have
a unique model line name, model name, or model number which COMPANY uses both
internally (in COMPANY's books and records) and externally (on the Customer
System case and packaging). For each Product which COMPANY chooses to license
for distribution with the listed Customer System, the letter "s" or "c" in the
relevant box indicates whether COMPANY is licensing the Product on a "per
system" or "per copy" basis, respectively. New models may be added by agreement
of the parties.
At COMPANY's option, for purposes of administrative convenience, COMPANY may
designate models by model line or series, (e.g., "Jaguar model line", "Jaguar
Pro series", "Jaguar Pro 750 model line", "Jaguar Pro 950 series", etc.).
Customer Systems defined by model line or series shall include all present
models which include the designated model line or series name, (e.g., "Jaguar
Pro model line" includes Jaguar Pro, Jaguar Pro 950, Jaguar Pro S, etc.; "Jaguar
series" includes Jaguar, Jaguar Pro, Jaguar Pro 950, Jaguar S400, etc.; "Jaguar
Pro 950 series" includes Jaguar Pro 950, Jaguar Pro 955, etc.).
In the event that COMPANY designates models by model line or series in this
Exhibit C, then COMPANY may elect to include as Customer System(s) new models in
the model line or series by including any such new model(s) on its royalty
report for the reporting period in which each such new model is first
distributed with the Product. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties prior to
COMPANY's first distribution of a new model with the Product, each such new
model designated on a royalty report shall be licensed for the remainder of the
term of the Agreement on the same basis (i.e., per system or per copy) as the
other models in the model line or series and shall bear the applicable royalty
set forth in this Exhibit C. Any new model in the model line or series which is
not included in a royalty report as a licensed Customer System (and is thus not
licensed for the applicable Product) must have a unique model number or model
name used for internal and external identification purposes which distinguishes
it from any model which COMPANY has designated previously as a Customer System.
