Patent Holder is currently aware of the information disclosed in V., supra, which may relate to one or more implementations of IV., supra, which may become incorporated in an IETF RFC. To the extent that Patent Holder’s existing intellectual property rights under V., supra, may cover an implementation of a product compliant with the reference in IV., supra, Patent Holder informs that it and its Affiliates will make a license available on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory ("FRAND") terms and conditions based on reciprocity to all persons desiring to implement the aforesaid IETF RFC under such patent rights (e.g., make, use, sell, import, distribute, copy, etc.) the Patent Holder owns, solely to the extent such technology is essential to comply with the IETF RFC.

“Affiliate” means any legal entity that is for the time being directly or indirectly in control of or controlled by Patent Holder. Control in this context, exists where one entity owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock or equity in another entity, or regardless of stock or equity ownership, is otherwise able to direct its affairs or to appoint a majority of the members of the board of directors or an equivalent body to determine the course of action of the entity by virtue of its voting or other rights. Such entities shall only be deemed to be Affiliates, hereunder for as long as such control exists.

Note: The individual submitting this template represents and warrants that he or she is authorized by the Patent Holder to agree to the above-selected licensing declaration.
