I cannot say more. But June is the date.

Mschere the mid 2003 language for Sharp comes from the 10K. However, the actual Sharp contract was signed on March 19, 1998 by IDCC and became effective on April 1, 1998. The actual wording in the 1998 contract as published in an SEC filing said that the contract term was for five years. Five years would be up on March 31, 2003. (It may have been extended three additional months by mutual agreement of both parties though. If not extended, I would think that the 10K date is wrong). From the 1998 Sharp contract as follows:

6.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate five (5) years thereafter, unless sooner terminated as provided herein. Any extensions to this Agreement shall be made by mutual agreement of the parties, subject to each party's discretion.

Licensee's obligation to make royalty payments to ITC hereunder shall commence:

(A) Upon April 1, 1998, for all Covered Subscriber Units sold on or after April 1, 1998 for which the manufacture, sale or use of such equipment (or components thereof) takes place outside of the country of Japan,
