AWR is a worldwide leader in high-frequency electronic design automation (“EDA”) software for wireless, high-speed wireline and electro-optical applications. AWR’s software solutions quicken the pace at which high-tech products like cellular phones and satellite communication systems are developed. AWR’s software aids the product development process by seamlessly integrating the high- frequency circuit and systems design methodology to a level not possible with other EDA solutions. AWR’s design solutions target IC, multi-chip module, and PCB implementations of electronic circuits and systems. AWR was founded in 1994, and began shipping its first commercial products in 1998. 11. AWR has developed, marketed and licensed a suite of software products called Microwave Office (hereafter “AWR Software”). The AWR Software provides circuit simulation with integrated electromagnetic (“EM”) analysis and circuit layout to provide a powerful tool for radio frequency (“RF”) and microwave engineering. As such, it is popular among companies in the high-tech wireless, aerospace, and military industries. Since its founding, AWR has expended considerable resources developing and updating its products so that they remain at the forefront of this cutting edge technology. 12. AWR licenses these products throughout the United States as well as in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world. Today, more than 700 companies ‘worldwide use the AWR Software and over fifty percent of AWR’s business revenue comes from overseas. 13. AWR’s core facility is located in El Segundo, California. AWR also has four other research and development centers: in Northern California, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Finland, respectively. AWR also has sales offices around the globe, including in Japan, the United Kingdom, and France. 14. AWR and the software it has developed have received accolades from a myriad of industry publications throughout the world. AWR’s founder, Dr. Joseph Pekarek, was named IEEE MTT-S Outstanding Young Engineer of the Year in 2005 in recognition of his innovation in software design and his outstanding achievement in entrepreneurship. The AWR Software was named one of Microwaves & RF Magazine’s Top Products of 2007 and, in November 2008, was given the Electron d’Or Award in the CAE category, sponsored by Electronique Magazine, the French electronic industry’s leading publication. 15. _AWR owns seven United States copyright registrations (TX 5-393-123, TX 5-524-561, TX 5-869-219, TX 6-196-721, TX 6-211-154, TX 6-595085, and TX 6-875-969) for the AWR Software, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit A. LICENSE AGREEMENT 16. Before installing the AWR Software, potential users must agree to a Software License Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B. 17. The Software License Agreement, to which ZTE agreed, states in part: a) The “[cJustomer shall not copy the Software other than as set forth herein.” b) The “[cJustomer shall only use the Software using a key code created by [AWR] and provided to Customer and shall not use the Software in any manner without such key code.” c) The “[c]ustomer shall not distribute, make accessible, transmit or provide any such key code to any third party of the public, use any key codes other than key codes provided directly by [AWR]...or take any action to circumvent the key codes...” 4 eI AHR ORE 10 lL 12 13 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 4) “In consideration for the licenses granted by [AWR] under this Agreement, Customer will pay the license fees set forth in the Purchase Order.” 18. The AWR Software will not operate without a license or key code that unlocks the software. Indeed, to protect its software against unauthorized use, AWR has made significant investments in licensing solutions developed by the market leader in licensing software. 19. The Software License Agreement also contains provisions that restrict the type and number of licenses, such that a customer may either have a “floating” or “locked” license. 20. AWR licenses its software products to potential customers for evaluation purposes. Pursuant to the Software License Agreement, potential customers that are given a valid evaluation license or key code by AWR must also agree that: a) “[NJeither Customer nor any other person or entity may use the Software for any commercial purpose whatsoever and the licenses granted to customer may only be used by Customer for demonstration, evaluation or trial purposes or in the case where Customer is an educational or research institution, such use shall be limited to educational uses.” 21. Potential customers and users agree to be bound by the Software License Agreement by “clicking” its acceptance of the terms thereof. By accepting the terms of the agreements, the parties agree that federal and state courts located in Los. Angeles, California, in the United States of America shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any disputes arising out of the Software License Agreement, that the venue for any such disputes is proper in such courts, and that each party irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts. ZTE’S INFRINGEMENT 22. On information and belief, ZTE designs, develops, produces, distributes 5 and installs a broad range of telecommunications systems and products. Some of these aforementioned systems and products are of the same kind that the AWR Software is intended to help design and produce. On information and belief, ZTE’s total assets exceed the equivalent of $10 billion (United States Dollars). 23. Although ZTE boasts of its commitment to corporate responsibility on its website, its actions toward AWR speak otherwise. Over the course of many years, including within the past four years, ZTE has obtained and used the AWR Software without authorization, On one or more occasions, ZTE has downloaded the AWR Software from AWR’s website after registering and agreeing to use the software only for evaluation purposes. 24. On information and belief, ZTE has also knowingly obtained unauthorized versions of the AWR Software on websites and through internet service providers known to traffic in illegal content. 25. To accomplish its misappropriation, ZTE has, on information and belief, knowingly obtained unauthorized software license keys from a source other than AWR and circumvented electronic protections built into the software. On information and belief, ZTE knowingly uses these “cracked” software keys in order to use and/or continue using the AWR Software without having to pay AWR for a legitimate license. 26. Oninformation and belief, by using the AWR Software without authorization, ZTE has not only avoided paying millions of dollars in license fees, but has been able to develop the commercial products that have made ZTE one of the most successful telecom giants in the world. AWR’S DISCOVERY OF ZTE’S INFRINGEMENT 27. - ZTE owns no legal copies of the AWR Software as of the filing of this complaint. 28. Nonetheless, AWR has discovered unauthorized copies of its software on over 40 computers belonging to ZTE or using IP addresses registered to ZTE. The 6. AWR Software has been used on these computers without AWR’s authorization nearly 300 times. On information and belief, this represents only a fraction of the unauthorized uses. 29. By way of example, from one IP address belonging to ZTE, AWR has discovered unauthorized copies of its software on at least 26 computers. Such computers include: “ZTE-4919DA23BAE”; “ZTEABC”; “ZTE-HXD036298”; “ZTEMT-ZXL”; and “ZTE-WANGBIN”. AWR has discovered at least 144 ‘unauthorized uses from this IP address alone. 30. Moreover, from this same IP address, eleven (11) ZTE employees have registered on AWR’s website to obtain access to support services and documentation. Such employees include: Yang G., an “RF Engineer”; Zhou. H.; Chen Q.; Geoping T.; Wang C.; Neil W., an “RF Designer”; Chun Z.; and Xiaojun Z., an “Engineer”. 31. From another IP address belonging to ZTE, AWR has discovered unauthorized copies of its software on at least 13 computers. Such computers include: “ZTE-4919DA23BAE”; “ZTE-LYB”; and “ZTE-TRANKS”. AWR has discovered at least 86 unauthorized uses from this IP address. 32. From this same IP address, two (2) ZTE employees have registered on AWR’s website to obtain access to AWR’s support services and documentation. Such employees include: Xiaojun Z., an “Engineer” and Yanfeng Y., an “Engineer”. 33. _ In yet another example, from a third IP address belonging to ZTE, AWR has discovered unauthorized copies of its software on at least 5 computers. One such computer is “ZTEMT-1100.” From this same IP address, three (3) ZTE employees have registered on AWR’s website, including: Lin C., a “Wireless Standard Engineer”; Zhong Y.; and Zhou Z., an “Engineer”. 34. The uses discovered by AWR are not isolated or accidental. Indeed, AWR has discovered that some ZTE users have, over time, upgraded the version of the AWR Software that they use without authorization. 35. Moreover, ZTE’s actions are not simply the product of a few uninformed 1 Socwr san pr wen ee 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 employees. At least 15 (fifteen) ZTE employees, while physically at ZTE, have registered on AWR’s website to obtain access to support services and documentation to enable them to use the AWR Software for commercial purposes. AWR’s website provides information on how to obtain copies of the AWR Software legally. 36. Furthermore, AWR holds no-cost seminars for members of the telecommunications systems industry in order to educate them on the benefits of using the AWR Software. AWR held such seminars in many cities in China, including Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Xian, and Chengdu. In March and April 2010, at least fourteen ZTE employees, from ZTE offices throughout China, consisting of engineers and other technology developers, attended these seminars. At these seminars, ZTE employees asked AWR representatives sophisticated questions regarding the AWR Software that only experienced users would know to ask. By attending these seminars, ZTE thus obtained no-cost training regarding the use of the AWR Software. ‘During one of these seminars, at least one ZTE employee indicated to AWR that ZTE intended to use the AWR Software to facilitate an upcoming project. 37. On information and belief, ZTE placed great importance in allowing its employees to attend these seminars, which were all-day in duration, because the engineers and technology developers that attended did so during business hours. ZTE’S CONTINUED INFRINGEMENT DESPITE NOTICE 38. Upon discovering the unauthorized uses described above, AWR wrote to ZTE on July 14, 2009, requesting that ZTE conduct its own investigation as to those uses, cease any unauthorized usage, and compensate AWR for the past unauthorized usage. A copy of this correspondence is attached hereto as Exhibit C. A member of ZTE’s legal department in Shenzhen, China responded in writing on August 3, 2009, confirming receipt of AWR’s letter and requesting that AWR “appoint someone speaking Chinese” to communicate with them. A copy of ZTE’s response is attached hereto as Exhibit D. 39. AWR sent follow-up letters to ZTE on August 10, 2009 and August 27, 2009, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits E. ZTE never responded to those letters. 40. After receiving no response to its follow-up letters, AWR appointed a Chinese speaking representative that met, per ZTE’s request, with ZTE’s IP Rights Manager in Shenzhen, China, on November 26, 2009. After this meeting, however, ZTE did not respond and, as of the date of the filing of this Complaint, has not responded to any of AWR’s subsequent communications. 41. Despite the correspondence and follow-up meeting, ZTE continued, and upon information and belief continues to this day, to allow its engineers and other employees to use the AWR Software without authorization. ZTE’s CONCEALMENT OF ITS INFRINGEMENT 42. On information and belief, ZTE registered on AWR’s website on one or more occasions to obtain access to support services and documentation, but chose to download the AWR Software from a third-party website instead of AWR’s website in order to avoid detection of its illegal conduct. COUNTI (Copyright Infringement Under 17 U.S.C. § 501) 43. AWR incorporates and realleges by reference paragraphs 1-42 above as if set forth in full herein. 44.

As a result of ZTE’s wrongful actions, AWR has suffered damages in an amount to be proven at trial but on information and belief alleged to be at least many millions of dollars in unpaid license fees plus interest and attorneys’ fees. Further, as an alternative to actual damages, AWR is entitled to statutory damages in an amount up to $150,000 per infringed work, plus interest and attorneys’ fees. 50. _AWR has no adequate remedy at law, however, and ZTE’s unlawful conduct will continue to cause AWR irreparable injury unless ZTE is enjoined by this Court. COUNT IT (Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems Under 17 U.S.C. § 1201) 51. AWR incorporates and realleges by reference paragraphs 1-50 above as if set forth in full herein. 52. The AWR Software employs technological mechanisms that effectively provide security controlled access to the work and copyright protections. = 10. Cer anr ene 53. On information and belief, ZTE downloaded, shared, used and/or employed software that (i) modifies the AWR Software to bypass the access control to allow it to recognize unauthorized license keys and (ii) generates unauthorized license keys that enabled ZTE to bypass the security access mechanisms and copyright protections in the AWR Software, in violation of 17 U.S.C. §§ 1201(a)(1). 54. On information and belief, ZTE’s actions have been and continue to be knowing and willful. 55. ZTE’s conduct is causing and is likely to continue to cause injury to AWR, entitling AWR to the following remedies pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 1203: (i) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief; (ii) its actual damages and ZTE’s profits or, alternatively, statutory damages; and (iii) costs and attorneys’ fees. 56.

COUNT Ht (Breach of Contract) 58. _AWR incorporates and realleges by reference paragraphs 1-55 above as if set forth in full herein. 59. In order to install and use the AWR Software, ZTE expressly agreed to and was bound by the terms of a Software License Agreement. 60. By copying, sharing, and using the AWR Software without authorization from AWR, by using key codes not provided by AWR, by taking action to circumvent i ew aAnunR EN the key codes, by continuing to use the AWR Software for commercial purposes, by installing the AWR Software on its computers without authorization, and by not paying a licensing fee, ZTE has breached the terms of the Software License Agreement. 61. AWR is entitled to its damages resulting from such breaches in addition, but not limited to, payment of the license fees to which ZTE agreed. 62. As a direct and proximate result of ZTE’s breaches, AWR has suffered damages in an amount to be proven at trial but believed to be at least many millions of dollars in unpaid license fees plus interest. COUNT IV (Actual Fraud — Violation of California Civil Code § 1572) 63. _AWR incorporates and realleges by reference paragraphs 1-62 above as if set forth in full herein. 64. ZTE expressly agreed to the terms of a Software License Agreement so that it could install and use the AWR Software. 65. ZTE agreed to the terms of the Software License Agreement with knowledge that its agreement to its terms was false and misleading and without any intention of complying with these terms. Specifically, at least as early as March 9, 2004, ZTE clicked the “I accept” button for the agreement, knowing that the agreement precluded ZTE from using the AWR Software for commercial purposes. ZTE did not intend to abide by the agreement at the time ZTE accepted its terms. As ZTE knew, AWR relied to its detriment on ZTE’s fraudulent acceptance of the terms of the Software License Agreement in providing ZTE with the AWR Software. 66. Asa result of agreeing to the terms of the aforementioned agreement, ZTE was able to engage in the unauthorized commercial use of the AWR Software. 67. In registering on AWR’s website, ZTE also expressly confirmed that it “wish[ed] to receive an Evaluation License to try [the AWR] software.” 68. ZTE confirmed this statement each time it registered, knowing that its 12 confirmation of this statement was false and misleading. As ZTE knew, AWR relied to its detriment on ZTE’s fraudulent confirmation of ZTE’s intent in registering on AWR’s website by providing ZTE with access to technical support and documentation to better enable ZTE to use the AWR Software. 69. Asaresult of falsely confirming its interest in evaluating the AWR. Software, ZTE was able to learn how to use the AWR Software for commercial purposes. 70. ZTE’s unauthorized use of the AWR Software and technical support has injured AWR and will continue to injure AWR unless preliminarily and permanently enjoined by this Court. AWR is entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and actual and punitive damages in an amount to be determined. 71. Asa direct and proximate result of ZTE’s breaches, AWR has suffered damages in an amount to be proven at trial but believed to be many millions of dollars plus interest and attorneys’ fees. COUNT V (Unfair Competition Under § 17200 of the California Business And Professions Code) 72. AWR incorporates and realleges by reference paragraphs 1-71 above as if set forth in full herein. 73. ZTE’s registration on AWR’s website in order to obtain support services and attendance at seminars hosted by AWR to obtain no-cost training are unlawful, unfair and/or fraudulent business acts or practices and thus constitute unfair competition under § 17200 of the California Business and Professions Code. 74. ZTE’s unlawful, unfair and fraudulent conduct has injured AWR and will continue to injure AWR unless preliminarily and permanently enjoined by this Court. AWR is entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief under Business and Professions Code § 17203. 75. Asa direct and proximate result of ZTE’s unfair, unlawful and fraudulent 13 business practices, ZTE has been unjustly enriched and has obtained a monetary benefit of many millions of dollars at the expense of AWR. AWR is thusly entitled not only to injunctive relief but to restitution. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, plaintiff AWR prays that this Court provide relief by: a.

China Re: Copyright infringement Dear Mr. Xiaoming: ‘AWR has developed and owns various intellectual property rights in “Microwave Office” which is electronic design automation (‘EDA’) software (the "Software’). ‘WR Js a worldwide leader in high frequency electronic design automation software for wireless, high speed wireline and electro-optical applications. AWR. has developed, marketed and licensed a variety of software products, including, but not limited to “Microwave Office’, "Visual System Simulator, and “Analog Office” (collectively referred to as “Microwave Office") which are the subject of this infringement. We recently discovered from our support data base that there has been extensive usage at ZTE by several employees using unlicensed, or “cracked’, versions of our Microwave Office software. This use of counterfeit software is an infringement of AWR's copyright under Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 501. In addition, use of counterfeit ficenses is in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, and international copyright treaties. This is a significant infraction and we take these matters very seriously. Attachment A hereto details the extent of this unauthorized usage. Due to the seriousness of these infringements we must demand that ZTE: @ Conduct a thorough investigation into its unauthorized use of the Software, ) Do not erase or destroy any computer readable license files, directories or project files pertaining to the legal or illegal use of AWR software ("AWR Data") All AWR data should be backed up and stored safely and permanently such that the files may be provided to AWR as evidence in the event that we cannot resolve this matter without litigation. i) Immediately cease all unauthorized use of the Software, and (wy Report the results of such research to us no later than August 7, 2008. We will refrain from taking legal action pending our receipt of your report before August 7, 2009. Exhibit C 3 The illegal usage of AWR software as outlined in attachment A, shows that ZTE has had the benefit of using over four hundred sixty (460) times the AWR Microwave Office software products on twenty-nine (29) independent computers since March 2004. The commercial value of the AWR software that has already been in use by ZTE is in excess of US$1,800,000 not including any associated penalties or additional fees for using non-licensed versions of the software, nor any legal fee’s or assigned royalties on any products developed through the use of the AWR software. ‘We believe that the unauthorized use of the Software is not permitted by ZTE’s corporate policies on software usage, and we suspect the usage is simply a matter of either not having adequate legal copies or insufficient CAD restrictions ‘on the use of legal licenses by these facilities. We-sincerely hope that we can create a business solution that resolves this issue. Our recommendation is for ZTE to investigate the matter and determine the validity and extent of the IP infringement. We have included a document to assist your IT team in conducting the investigation. If you can confirm that our claim is valid, we would request that ZTE either pay AWR for past usage of the counterfeit license, or purchase additional user licenses, in which case AWR will release ZTE from any obligation to pay for past counterfeit usage. We wish to continue our good working relationship and to avoid costty litigation. However, we need to receive assurance from ZTE that any existing illegal licenses will be removed, and a system will be implemented to preclude recurrence of such usage. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this matter in more detail, 1 can be reached via e-mail at miracco@awrcorp.com, or by phone at 310-726-3000.

Identifying "Cracked" Licenses for AWR Software Page 2 of 2 Exhibit C 2 AWR Identifying “Cracked” Background This document is being provided to assist in the investigation into alleged use of illegal software. Please be advised that this investigation has serious legal consequences, and itis strongly encouraged to permanently back up all files and data pertaining to the machines and users identified as potentially using illegal software. Efforts to permanently erase, delete or destroy data can have serious legal ramifications. We advise you to consult with your legal representatives or corporate counsel regarding this matter prior to commencing the investigation. Security Overview Applied Wave Research (AWR) has developed and owns various intellectual property rights in “Analog Office”, "Microwave Office” and “Visual System ‘Simulator’, which are electronic design automation software (the “Software"). WR Software products use a security mechanism from Macrovision named FlexLM. This mechanism allows a program to be created in such a way that it will need to find a valid key file for it to run. This allows the program to be distributed via our website and on CDROM’s and for this software to run only after a license file or “key” has been acquired from AWR. The key files are small, 200-1000 character, ASCII files. All logal key files generated by AWR have distinct serial numbers in them so that they ean be tracked, and counterfeit license files can be detected. Software Piracy AWR is aware that software piracy rings are actively circumventing the security features built into our licensing mechanism, and making these “cracked” versions available over the internet. These criminal groups have created software programs that can either generate counterfeit key files or modify AWR, executable files so as to not require key files. Illegal license generators will create key files that have serial numbers inconsistent with the serial numbers generated by AWR for legal customer use or demonstration and evaluation purposes. Software Updates & Electronic Auditing ‘The AWR Software communicates with end-users’ servers for the purpose of checking for and performing software updates and ensuring that the customer is, using the Software in conformity with the license agreement with a valid key file ‘Anplieg wave Resear, ‘$9101. crand tm, Ste 400° EL Sepiny eh boa =F 387 Exhibit C 33 that AWR has provided to the customer. This process does not collect any proprietary information, Locating the AWR Program Directories ‘The AWR Design Environment is invoked from a program file named “mwoffice.exe". Searching for this file will allow you to find the AWR program directories. Typically the software is installed in a directory such as C:\Program Files AWR\AWR200x (where *x" indicates the last digit of the year in which the software was released). Alll executable (.exe, dll, etc) files in the same directory as mwoffice.exe and all sub-directories are the licensed and copyrighted property of Applied Wave Research. Finding Unlicensed or “Cracked” Software Licenses In order for the AWR Software to run, it needs access to a license file (unless the executable has been illegally “patched"). This license file is usually named “awrlic” or “awrd.lic”. The awr.liclawrd.ic file is an ASCII text file and can be opened in Notepad or Microsoft Word. All awr.lic/awrd.lic files are generated for individual customers and valid ones will contain your company name. If you are unsure whether you have a legal awrlic/awrd.lic file, open it in Notepad and look for your company name in the “VENDOR_STRIN an illegal license file is the serial number. A file with a known illegal serial ‘umber will most commonly contain one of the following strings in it: ‘SN=10179 st SN=A124952123451111111 sI ‘SN=12DF-CE02BC 234 34F-12ABDE Ifyou are unsure whether the file is legal, please email the file to licenses@appwave.com for further instructions.
