However, the foregoing allocation of such fees associated with the New Software license agreements involving a headquarter Product or other site licenses situated outside of the Territory may be subject to reduced percentages to Distributor due to royalties owed to other Developer entities, affiliates, or distributors located outside the Territory, who may also have participated in the sale.
