ATTACHMENT OSF/Motif Object Code Fees - Options A-L

Contents

OPTION A -- PER COPY FEES VOLUME DISCOUNT

For OSF/Motif R2.1 Full, Developer and Limited Distribution Rights Licensees.

Item Volume Discount Schedule
Motif Object Code Copy Royalty Fee 1
Motif Object Code Copy Royalty Fee for Single User Systems ** 2
Motif Object Code Copy Royalty Fee for Embedded Systems ** 3

Volume discounts apply to those items listed above which reference a specific Discount Schedule. Option A is the default option and allows licensee to pay the specified price associated with each level of the referenced Discount Schedule until the maximum volume shipment for that level is achieved. For subsequent copies, licensee's royalty rate is reduced to the price specified for the next level until its maximum volume shipment is achieved. This cycle repeats itself until the maximum volume discount level is achieved.

For example, a Full Distribution Rights Licensee distributing copies of the Motif Object Code would use Volume Discount Schedule 1 to determine its pricing. For the first 5,000 copies used or distributed in a given Ordering Period, said licensee shall pay $40.00 per copy (Level A); for copies 5,001 through 20,000, Licensee shall pay $32.00 per copy (Level B) until 20,000 copies have been achieved. The process repeats itself through Levels C - G.

Consult the OSF/Motif Standard Supplement for the definition of an Embedded System, Floating Motif User Object Code License, and Single User System. See also, Option B - Minimum Volume Commitment, Option G - Annual Object Code Fee Buyout, Option H - Annual Object Code Fee Buyout per Operating System, and Option J - OSF/Motif Object Code Lifetime Buyout.

Note: Aggregation of Motif Object Code, Motif Executive Object Code and Motif Window Manager Object Code and between system types (Single User Systems, Embedded Systems, etc.) is not allowed.

OPTION B -- MINIMUM VOLUME COMMITMENT VOLUME DISCOUNT

For OSF/Motif R2.1 Full and Developer Distribution Rights Licensees only.

Upon the prior written approval of The Open Group, Licensee may elect to commit for a particular Ordering Period, to one of the volume levels identified in Discount Schedule 1 through Schedule 5. In such event, the Licensee shall pay the associated object code per copy fee for all copies used or distributed during the Ordering Period.

Example: To illustrate how Option B works, let's apply the Option B rules to a Full Distribution Rights Licensee who wishes to commit to a minimum of 20,001 units for a 12 month period for OSF/Motif Release 2.1. The Licensee is using Discount Schedule 1 for the full Motif Technology. If Volume Level C is mutually agreed upon, then Licensee will pay $21 as identified in Schedule 1, for each object code copy used or distributed during the Ordering Period.

If at the end of the Ordering Period the number of actual copies used or distributed during the Ordering Period is less than the minimum number for the Volume Level chosen, Licensee will pay an additional amount equal to the per copy fee determined under Option A less the copy fee actually paid. For example, if Discount Schedule 1, Volume Level C (20,001-50,000 copies) was agreed upon and only 15,000 copies were actually used or distributed, then Licensee will pay an additional $19 ($40-$21) per copy for the first 5,000 copies and an additional $11 ($32-$21) for the next 10,000 copies (or an additional $205,000) for a total of $520,000. If at the end of the Ordering Period the number of actual copies used or distributed is greater than the maximum number for the Volume Level chosen, Licensee shall pay the per copy fee applicable to the chosen Volume Level for those copies less than or equal to the maximum Volume Level and, for those copies in excess of such maximum number, Licensee shall pay the per copy fee determined in Option A. For example, if Level C (20,0001-50,000) was agreed upon and 60,000 copies were used or distributed during the Ordering Period, then the Licensee would pay 50,000 times $21 (or $1,050,000) plus 10,000 times $18 (or $180,000) for a total of $1,230,000.

For OSF/Motif R2.1 Full and Developer Distribution Rights Licensees only.

If Licensee fails to achieve thirty percent (30%) of the committed volume prior to the end of the second full quarter of the Ordering Period, the per copy fee for all copies used or distributed shall be determined in accordance with Option A. See also, Option G -Annual Object Code Fee Buyout, Option H - Annual Object Code Fee Buyout per Operating System, and Option J -OSF/Motif Object Code Lifetime Buyout.

Note: Aggregation of Motif Object Code, Motif Executive Object Code and Motif Window Manager Object Code and between system types (Single User Systems, Embedded Systems etc.) is not allowed.

OPTION C -- OSF/MOTIF WINDOW MANAGER

For OSF/Motif R2.1 Full Distribution Rights Licensees only.

Price
Motif MWM Object Code Copy Royalty Fee for X-Terminals $ 3.00
Motif MWM Object Copy Royalty Fee for Single User Systems ** $ 3.00

Licensee may elect to ship just the OSF/Motif Window Manager for either the X-Terminal or Single User systems upon the prior written approval of The Open Group. In such event, the Licensee shall pay the associated object code fee for all copies used or distributed during the Ordering Period. Contact The Open Group or consult the OSF/Motif license for a definition of X-Terminal or Single User System.

The commitment under Option C shall not accrue towards the minimum volume commitment under Option A or Option B. No volume discounts apply to this Option. See also, Option I - OSF/Motif Window Manager Object Code Annual Fee Buyout, and Option K -OSF/Motif Window Manager Object Code Lifetime Buyout.

Note: Aggregation of Motif Object Code, Motif Executive Object Code and Motif Window Manager Object Code and between system types (Single User Systems, Embedded Systems etc.) is not allowed.

OPTION D -- OSF/MOTIF EXECUTIVE **

For OSF/Motif R2.1 Full and Developer Distribution Rights Licensees only.

Item Volume Discount Schedule
Motif Object Code Copy Royalty Fee for Executive 4
Motif Object Code Copy Royalty Fee for Executive Single User Systems 5

Volume discounts apply to those items listed above which reference a specific Discount Schedule. Option D is the default option and allows licensee to pay the specified price associated with each level of the referenced Discount Schedule until the maximum volume shipment for that level is achieved. For subsequent copies, Licensee's royalty rate is reduced to the price specified for the next level until its maximum volume shipment is achieved. This cycle repeats itself until the maximum volume discount level is achieved.

For example, a Full Distribution Rights Licensee distributing copies of the Motif Executive Object Code Fee would use Volume Discount Schedule 4 to determine its pricing. For the first 1,000 copies used or distributed in a given Ordering Period, said Licensee shall pay $24.00 per copy (Level A); for copies 1,001 through 2,000, Licensee shall pay $21.00 per copy (Level B) until 2,000 copies have been achieved. The process repeats itself through Levels C - G.

See also, Option B -Minimum Volume Commitment, Option G - Annual Object Code Fee Buyout, Option H - Annual Object Code Fee Buyout per Operating System, Option J - OSF/Motif Object Code Lifetime Buyout, and Option L - OSF/Motif Annual Executive Object Code Buyout (Single User Systems only).
