Amendment 1 to the License Agreement

Dated May 4, 1999 Between

General Dynamics Information Systems, Inc. (“GDIS”)

and Conductus, Inc. (“Conductus”)

 

Section 16.                                      Survival

and Indemnity is amended to add the following:

 

16.4  Lucent Agreement — Indemnity

 

Conductus is

party to a certain agreement identified as "Superconducting Filter

Technology Joint Development Agreement," effective April 25, 1996, under

which Lucent Technologies, Inc. has an option to obtain a non-exclusive license

in Conductus' intellectual property. 

The parties understand and agree that, should Lucent Technologies, Inc.

exercise such right, Conductus will indemnify GDIS for any well documented loss

of net profits directly arising from Lucent’s use of such license rights where

such exercise of rights is both (1) within the Permitted Market; and (2) in

direct competition with GDIS.  This

indemnification shall not apply where Lucent would not require a license from

Conductus because the government has a non-exclusive license in the background

intellectual property.  Where available,

indemnification by Conductus will be satisfied by giving GDIS credit for the

amount of such lost profits out of future royalty payments payable by GDIS to

Conductus.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties

hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed this 12th day of May 1999.

Amendment 2 to the

License Agreement

Dated May 4, 1999

Between

General Dynamics Information Systems, Inc. (“GDIS”)

and

Conductus, Inc. (“Conductus”)

 

Section 3.3             Reserved Rights and Limitations

of Conductus is amended to read as follows:

 

3.3.1                        Bids

Separate From GDIS. Conductus will not bid independently of GDIS on

Government Contracts which are (a) contracts for the delivery of hardware

(except as provided in Section 3.3.4); (b) offered for bidding directly to GDIS

by a government customer; (c) contracts for which GDIS can provide technical

competencies which Conductus does not possess; (d) contracts for which GDIS has

access to customer or application information which Conductus does not possess

or (e) contracts which would benefit from GDIS project management competencies

which Conductus does not possess.

 

3.3.2                        Government

Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Conductus may bid independently

of GDIS for Government Contracts which are for (a) Small Business Innovative

Research (“SBIR”) awards; (b) Category 6.1 solicitations as defined under DFAR

235.001; or (c) opportunities GDIS elects to pursue with a subcontractor other

than Conductus.

 

3.3.3                        Special

Considerations.  GDIS will promptly

review all opportunities under Section 3.3.1 (a) for competitive pricing

purposes.  GDIS may choose to allow

Conductus to bid directly on a given opportunity, particularly those involving

delivery of hardware for which GDIS provides no substantial contribution.  In such a case, GDIS will indicate its preference

to bid within two business days after receipt of a written request from

Conductus.  If Conductus receives a

contract for the delivery of hardware under this Section 3.3.3, it will pay

GDIS a royalty equal to a sixteen and two-thirds percent (16.67%) of the

purchase order or contract received from the customer.  Payment of the royalty shall be due thirty

(30) days after Conductus receives payment for the hardware.

 

3.3.4                        Conductus

Referral Rights.  Notwithstanding

any other provision of this Agreement, Conductus may bid separately on

Government Contracts that GDIS elects not to pursue.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties

hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed this 9th day of August, 2000.
