(i)

the use of commercially reasonable efforts to correct any defects in the ARM Technology which cause such technology not to operate in accordance with the functionality described in the relevant datasheet or manual for such technology. If ARM determines that such defects are due to errors in such description ARM shall promptly issue corrections to the datasheet or manual and shall not be required to revise the ARM Technology, provided that LICENSEE’s use of the ARM Technology by LICENSEE is not adversely affected thereby;

(ii)

all Updates to such ARM Technology; and

(iii)

subject to the provisions of Clauses 7.2 and 7.3, reasonable telephone, e-mail and written consultation about the operation and application of such ARM Technology.

7.2

The services provided under Clause 7.1(iii) shall expressly exclude any information relating to the design of products incorporating ARM Technology. Consulting services may be provided by ARM under the terms of a separate written agreement. Support supplied by ARM may not be used either; (i) as a substitute for training; or (ii) as additional engineering resource for LICENSEE projects.

7.3

The services provided under Clause 7.1(iii) shall be provided from the relevant ARM support centre, and shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the relevant Annex 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in exceptional cases if ARM has been unable to resolve an issue relating to the ARM technology remotely from the support centre, ARM will use reasonable efforts to provide support to LICENSEE, at LICENSEE’s premises, subject to LICENSEE meeting all reasonable traveling, accommodation and sustenance expenses thereby incurred.

7.4

If ARM delivers a revision of any ARM Technology licensed under any Annex 1, LICENSEE hereby agrees and acknowledges that ARM shall only be obligated to test that each deliverable is compatible with the other deliverables comprising such revision, and ARM shall have no responsibility for testing that any or all of such deliverables are compatible with previously delivered versions of the ARM Technology.

7.5

ARM shall only have an obligation to provide maintenance as described in Clause 7.1(i) and (ii) for the most recently delivered version of the relevant ARM Technology and the version which the most recently delivered version replaced.

Incorrect: Arm^®

3.7	Licensee shall always use the appropriate descriptive generic noun written in lowercase letters after a Trademark

Correct: ARM^® core

Incorrect: ARM^® Core

3.8	Licensee shall use a Registered Trademark Symbol (^®) when Using “ARM” as a Trademark or Brand Name, but Not as a Trade Name

Correct: ARM announces its new line of ARM^® developer tools.

Incorrect: ARM^® Corporation.

3.9	Licensee shall include appropriate notices in substantially the following form on any product packaging, advertising material and promotional, technical or other documentation relating to any product distributed under licence from ARM if such material contains an ARM Trademark;

For registered Trade Marks: “[Cite Trademark(s)] is [are] the registered trademark(s) of ARM Limited in the EU and other countries.

For unregistered Trade Marks: “[Cite Trademark(s)] is [are] the trademark(s) of ARM Limited in the EU and other countries.

3.10

Licensee shall always use the appropriate symbols with a trademark in a heading, as well as on the first occurrence of the trademark in a text. The same standards apply to attributing trade marks on a Web page. Since each Web page has the potential to be viewed individually, trademark symbols should be used on each page, even if part of a multipage section or site. Licensee shall attribute trade marks on the first occurrence within sidebars, charts, tables, graphics, diagrams, marketing slides, banners, “Related information” links, and other links on a Web page, because these elements have greater potential to be read or placed independently.

3.11	In addition to the rules set out above ARM may provide Licensees with additional instructions relating to the use of the Trade Marks from time to time which Licensee shall follow in its future use of the Trade Marks.

Exhibit D

LOGO

The marks must appear exactly as shown in this Logo Design Guide; the elements, proportions and relationships must not change. The marks are available in stat repro form and in .eps for Macintosh or .WMF for PC platforms. These formats ensure the highest possible reproduction quality. However, should you need another format for a specific project, please contact your local ARM office for advice.

When produced in colour, the mark should be printed in Pantone 314 blue. Process colour reproduction may not match Pantone-identified solid colour standards. When specifying the colour of the mark with process inks, the correct mix is:


Cyan			100
Magenta			0
Yellow			8.5
Black			34

•

Do not alter or deform the shape of the marks.

•

Do not replace the logotype with a different typeface or attempt to mimic the logotype typeface.

•

Do not place competing visual elements (including but not limited to other Trade Marks) close to the marks.

•

Do not set type near to the marks that could be construed as a corporate slogan or motto.

I.	Lead Partner Provisions

I.1

As at the Annex Effective Date, the ARM Technology is still in development and, as a lead partner, LICENSEE will have access to the Development Releases and will be able to provide feedback on the ARM Technology and its proposed implementation at the micro-architecture level. LICENSEE recognises the importance to ARM of ARM being able to licence its products generally, and therefore agrees that:

(i) until such ARM Technology is delivered to LICENSEE in Early Access Release form, ARM at its discretion can reuse any suggestions, comments, feedback, ideas, or know-how (whether in oral or written form) provided to ARM in respect of the ARM Architecture (“Input”) in accordance with the licenses granted under […***…].

(ii) once the ARM Technology is delivered to LICENSEE in Early Access Release form, the parties agree that any suggestions, comments, feedback, ideas, or know-how provided to ARM by LICENSEE in respect of the ARM Architecture must first be summarized in writing (“Written Input”) and submitted by the LICENSEE’s technical contact identified below to ARM’s technical contract identified below. Only Written Input submitted by LICENSEE to ARM shall be considered to be licensed to ARM in accordance with the licenses granted under […***…].
