Ciprico acknowledges that Broadcom and its predecessors in interest previously have granted licenses to the Licensed Technology to other third parties, and all such licenses will remain in full force and effect after the Closing.

2.3 License Restrictions.

(a) No other use, distribution or application of the Licensed Technology by Ciprico is permitted except those expressly provided in Section 2.1.

(b) Ciprico represents and warrants that it will not take any action that would create obligations that would conflict with Ciprico’s obligations hereunder, including without limitation, creating and/or distributing derivative works of the Licensed Software that contain code licensed under a Prohibited License (as defined below) or that would require any portion of the Licensed Software to be distributed pursuant to a Prohibited License.

(c) Ciprico shall only distribute the Licensed Software or derivative works thereof to OEMs, resellers, distributors and end users pursuant to an End User Agreement.

2.4 Grantback License to Improvements During Term.

ARTICLE III

PAYMENT

3.1 Purchase Price. As payment for the sale, transfer and assignment of the Purchased Assets, and for other of Broadcom’s agreements and indemnities contained herein, Ciprico shall pay to Broadcom at the Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Broadcom (collectively, the “Purchase Price”) , the aggregate cash sum of ***. In addition, Ciprico shall pay to Broadcom, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Broadcom, the additional sum of *** for the inventory set forth in Schedule 1.1(b), which will be paid within fifteen (15) days after Ciprico’s receipt of such inventory. Ciprico will have the right to return any defective portions of inventory for a credit or refund.

3.2 Royalties. Ciprico shall pay to Broadcom royalty payments based on the Revenues for all sales of RAID Controller Cards by or for Ciprico. Such royalties will be calculated as a percentage of

the Revenue recorded by Ciprico, and will be paid quarterly within 30 days of the end of the respective calendar quarter. Royalty payments will be accompanied by reports identifying the applicable products, quantities and Revenues of Ciprico. The amount of such royalties payable to Broadcom will be determined pursuant to the following table:

	Dollar Amount of Revenues		Royalties Payable
	in Each 12-Month Period		to Broadcom
	following the Closing

	up to $2,000,000		*** of Revenue
	$2,000,000-$5,000,000		*** of Revenue
	$5,000,000-$10,000,000		*** of Revenue
	$10,000,000 and above		*** of Revenue

Ciprico’s obligation to pay royalties to Broadcom pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall cease when Ciprico’s royalty payments reach twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) in the aggregate (the “Royalty Cap”), and thereafter Ciprico’s licenses under this Agreement will become royalty-free (but still subject to commissions pursuant to Section 3.3), perpetual and non-terminable.

3.3 Commissions.

(a) During the Term, Broadcom will earn a commission in an amount equal to *** of all Revenue related to the Licensed Software (other than distributions of the Licensed Software incorporated with RAID Controller Cards, which shall be covered by Section 3.2 above) (the “Commission”), whether licensed by Broadcom or Ciprico, for operation with a Broadcom integrated circuit product.

(b) For such distributions of the Licensed Software made by Broadcom, Broadcom will collect the Revenue for such Licensed Software licenses, and on a quarterly basis will forward such Revenue to Ciprico less the Commission thereon which Broadcom shall retain, along with a quarterly report identifying the applicable quantities and Revenues related thereto . The quarterly payment and report will be made within thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter.

(c) For such distributions of the Licensed Software by Ciprico, Ciprico will collect the Revenue for such Licensed Software licenses, and on a quarterly basis will forward the Commission thereon to Broadcom, along with a quarterly report identifying the applicable quantities and Revenues related thereto. The quarterly payment and report will be made within thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter. For clarity, Ciprico will owe no such commission on licenses of the Licensed Software for use with non-Broadcom integrated circuits.

3.4 Taxes. All amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of all taxes, duties, customs fees, and other similar government charges and fees or customs fees (other than taxes levied on Broadcom’s income) that Broadcom may be required to collect or pay upon purchase, sale or shipment of Licensed Technology. If Ciprico wishes to claim a tax exemption, Ciprico must give Broadcom a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the relevant taxing authority. Without limitation of the above, Ciprico agrees that it will pay to Broadcom all sales tax applicable to the sale of the Purchased Assets.

3.5 Warrants. Ciprico shall grant to Broadcom the warrants to purchase nine hundred thousand (900,000) shares of Common Stock of Ciprico (“Shares”) set forth in Exhibit C hereto.

3.6 Records; Audit Rights. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after expiration or termination of this Agreement, Ciprico agrees to keep all usual and proper records and books of account and all usual and proper entries relating to this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Ciprico additionally will be responsible for establishing processes and practices to ensure that its sublicensees accurately report and pay for their use of the Licensed Software. Broadcom may conduct an audit of Ciprico’s records and Ciprico’s sublicensee’s records, including such financial and other business records as may be relevant to allow Broadcom to confirm Ciprico’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the correctness of all payments made or due to Broadcom hereunder. This Section 3.6 shall apply reciprocally to permit Ciprico to audit Broadcom, to the extent that Broadcom collects Revenues for the production distribution of the Licensed Software pursuant to Section 3.3(b).

3.7 Audit Procedures. Any such audit will be conducted by an auditor designated by Broadcom or by an independent certified public accountant selected by Broadcom, and will be conducted only with reasonable advance written request no more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, unless an underpayment as described below is found, in which case Broadcom may conduct an additional audit following each such finding during the same twelve (12) month period. The audit will be conducted during regular business hours and will be conducted in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with Ciprico’s normal business activities. Broadcom agrees that it shall be responsible for the payment of the reasonable fees and costs of the auditor unless: (a) with respect to provisions of this Agreement, the auditor determines that Ciprico has underpaid Broadcom hereunder by an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the amounts actually due; or (b) with respect to the Section 3.5, the auditor determines that Ciprico should have issued warrants to Broadcom but failed to do so. Ciprico will refund Broadcom any overcharges and will reimburse Broadcom for audit costs incurred as a result of the previous sentence within thirty (30) days of Broadcom’s receipt of an invoice for such fee. Broadcom recognizes and agrees that information learned during an audit is confidential and that such information may be used only in further disposition of the audit. This Section 3.7 shall apply reciprocally to any audit by Ciprico of Broadcom pursuant to Section 3.6 above.
