Master Agreement

Zoran agrees that Zoran and its representative will hold in confidence and trust, and not use or disclose, any confidential information provided to or learned by Zoran or its representative in connection with Zoran’s rights hereunder, unless such information is known, or until such information becomes known, to the public; provided, however, that Zoran and its representative may disclose such information to Zoran’s attorneys, accountants, consultants and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with Zoran’s rights hereunder. Zoran’s rights under this Section 7.8 shall terminate upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

8. Strategic Relationship and Other Obligations

8.1 Non-compete Obligation.

Consequently, ArcSoft agrees that for twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, ArcSoft shall not develop, manufacture or sell products in the Application Field based on a technology other than the MaestroLink Technology.

8.2 Strategic Agreement

8.2.1 Porting.

So long as any principal and/or interest is not fully paid under the Note (but for at least twelve (12) months after the Effective Date (“Right of First Announcement Term”)), ArcSoft hereby extends to Zoran a right of first announcement for any Embedded Software developed by ArcSoft and the first right to announce the implementation and

ArcSoft/Zoran Confidential

Master Agreement

distribution of such Embedded Software on or with Zoran Products as compared with all Third Parties providing integrated circuits which could use the Object Code form of the Embedded Software (“Other Companies”). ArcSoft will provide Zoran with written notification of ArcSoft’s completion of development of any such Embedded Software prior to, or at the same time as any Other Companies. Zoran shall have a period of thirty (30) days after Zoran’s receipt of such notification and a copy of the Embedded Software to provide written notice to ArcSoft of its intent to exercise its right to first announce the implementation and distribution of the Embedded Software described in ArcSoft’s notification (“Notice of Intent”). If Zoran provides ArcSoft with a Notice of Intent within such thirty (30) day period, then ArcSoft shall work with Zoran to port the Embedded Software for distribution with Zoran Products subject to the terms of a written agreement to be negotiated in good faith and executed by the parties, whereby Zoran shall be able to first announce the implementation and distribution of such Embedded Software with Zoran Products, and no Other Company may announce the implementation and/or distribution of such Embedded Software with such Other Company’s products until after thirty (30) days after Zoran’s announcement. The written agreement will include the following terms (a) ArcSoft shall retain the right to distribute the Embedded Software directly to end users, (b) for end users introduced by Zoran, ArcSoft shall pay Zoran a referral fee, and (c) Zoran shall have the right to distribute the Embedded Software with the Zoran Products. If ArcSoft receives of a Notice of Intent from Zoran regarding any particular Embedded Software, ArcSoft will not agree with any Other Companies to distribute and/or announce the availability of any version of any software with similar functionality to such Embedded Software until thirty (30) days after Zoran has announced Zoran’s implementation and distribution of such Embedded Software with Zoran Products. If Zoran gives written notice to ArcSoft that it does not intend to exercise its rights to such Embedded Software or if Zoran does not provide ArcSoft with a Notice of Intent within the thirty (30) days period, then ArcSoft shall be free to agree with Other Companies to announce the distribution of such Embedded Software at any time. Each new Version of ArcSoft’s Embedded Software shall constitute a new Embedded Software that is required to be resubmitted to Zoran pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.2.2. “Version” means a revised version of the Embedded Software that ArcSoft designates by a change to the number on the left of the decimal point (e.g., a change from version 1.0 to 2.0). The Right of First Announcement Term shall automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods, unless either party provides written notice to the other party of their intent not to renew no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term. If the Right of First Announcement Term is terminated, the provisions of this Section 8.2.2 shall be immediately terminated.

8.2.3 Zoran Proposals. From time to time, Zoran may submit in writing to an ArcSoft employee on the management level a non-confidential proposal containing ideas to be further developed by ArcSoft (“Zoran Proposal”). Within such Zoran Proposal, Zoran will indicate to ArcSoft a period of time during which ArcSoft will work exclusively with Zoran on the confidential aspects of such Zoran Proposal. If ArcSoft approves such proposal with such specified period of time, then ArcSoft agrees to work exclusively with Zoran and no Other Company to develop the technology specified on such Zoran Proposal for the specified period of time. If ArcSoft rejects such Zoran Proposal and/or specified period of time, Zoran shall be free to propose the technology referenced in the Zoran Proposal to any Third Parties.

8.3 Non-solicitation. During the term of this Agreement, ArcSoft will not solicit, directly or indirectly, any Zoran Major Customers for purchase of any IC product from ArcSoft, including, without limitation, the MaestroLink IC Product.

8.4 Additional Development. To the extent that any Zoran request of development work from ArcSoft for the MaestroLink IC Products hereunder outside the scope of the Development Plan proposes a project involving a product that Zoran reasonably believes will sell more than *** Units of customized MaestroLink IC Products in the first twenty-four (24) months after first commercial sale, then (a) if such project will not involve more than thirty (30) ArcSoft man-days, then ArcSoft will perform such development at no additional cost to Zoran within ninety (90) days after such request, and (b) if such project will involve more than thirty (30) ArcSoft man-days, then Zoran will be required to detail the proposed terms and conditions, including, without limitation, payment terms, in writing and such proposal must be approved in writing and in advance by ArcSoft (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and/or delayed).

BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, the parties now desire to set forth terms upon which Zoran will sell to ArcSoft the First IC Products, Related IC Products and MaestroLink IC Products agreed upon by the parties in writing to be manufactured by Zoran.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, conditions and undertakings hereinafter set forth, it is agreed by and between Zoran and ArcSoft as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined in this IC Sales Agreement, all capitalized terms shall be as defined in Exhibit A (“Definitions”) of the Master Agreement.

2. Scope. ArcSoft may only order and purchase, and Zoran may only produce and sell, the First IC Products, Related IC Products and/or other MaestroLink IC Products that the parties have agreed upon in writing that Zoran will manufacture. All references to MaestroLink IC Products hereunder shall be deemed to be limited to the foregoing.

3. Acceptance and Minimum Orders. All orders for MaestroLink IC Products issued by ArcSoft hereunder must be approved and accepted by Zoran in an order confirmation or other writing at its designated offices. All orders must be for at least the minimum quantity specified to ArcSoft by Zoran in the quote then in effect or on the then-current price list. Orders by ArcSoft for quantities less than the minimum quantity will be deemed by Zoran as an order for the minimum quantity and ArcSoft agrees to accept and pay for the total units delivered pursuant to such order. Orders for MaestroLink IC Products are non-cancelable and non-refundable (except for non-conforming products returned under Section 10 below). It is recognized that the parties may, for their respective convenience, desire to use standardized “Purchase Order” forms and other documents to set forth the amount of the order and the delivery date, which forms may contain terms in addition to, or at variance with, the terms of this IC Sales Agreement. Therefore, it is expressly understood and agreed that such forms may be used but will not add to or vary the terms and conditions herein, whether or not this IC Sales Agreement is referenced therein. Zoran shall provide ArcSoft with Zoran’s most favored pricing for the MaestroLink IC Products that Zoran provides to Third Parties for similar quantities and similar due dates. The MaestroLink IC Products ordered by ArcSoft hereunder shall have the same manufacturing priority status with Zoran’s Third Party Contract Manufacturer as the MaestroLink IC Products ordered by Zoran and any allocation between the parties shall be fifty percent (50%) to each party.

4. Price. Zoran will sell the MaestroLink IC Products to ArcSoft at a price such that Zoran’s gross margins on such sales will be ***, meaning that the price will equal *** of Zoran’s full costs to produce such MaestroLink IC Products, as charged by Zoran’s Third Party Contract Manufacturer.

5. Payments. Payments will be made in U.S. dollars, net cash on delivery unless (a) a confirmed irrevocable letter of credit has been issued, or (b) satisfactory open credit has been established, in which case the terms are net thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. Accounts

Production and Sales Agreement

If deliveries are to be made in installments, each installment will be separately invoiced and payment will be made accordingly. If ArcSoft does not make payment in accordance with the terms of payment specified, Zoran may, at its option, (i) immediately terminate this IC Sales Agreement upon written notice to ArcSoft, or (ii) refuse to perform further under this IC Sales Agreement unless ArcSoft immediately pays for all MaestroLink IC Products that have been delivered and paid in advance. In the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of ArcSoft, or if any such proceeding is brought by or against ArcSoft, Zoran will be entitled to cancel any order then outstanding and will receive full reimbursement for its cancellation charges. If Zoran exercises any right it may have to stop MaestroLink IC Products in transit because of ArcSoft’s financial condition, Zoran, at its option, may resell such articles at public sale without notice to ArcSoft or a private sale after giving notice to ArcSoft and without affecting Zoran’s right to hold ArcSoft liable for any loss or damage caused by ArcSoft’s breach. All rights specified above will be in addition to any and all other rights that Zoran may have.

6. Reports. Zoran will provide ArcSoft with status reports of all orders placed by ArcSoft hereunder no less frequently than on a weekly basis.

7. Taxes. All prices are exclusive of federal, state or local sales, use, excise or similar taxes applicable to the sale of the MaestroLink IC Products. Any such tax(es) will be separately itemized on Zoran’s invoice(s) and paid by ArcSoft, or in lieu thereof, ArcSoft will furnish Zoran a properly executed tax exemption certificate prior to shipment. ArcSoft also will be responsible for all withholding taxes imposed by any foreign government.

8. Delivery. All shipments will be F.O.B. point of origin and title and risk of loss or damage will pass to ArcSoft upon delivery to a carrier at such point. The delivery date stated represents Zoran’s best estimate of when the MaestroLink IC Products will be shipped. Zoran does not accept any liability for losses or added costs due to delivery delays. Claims against Zoran for shortages must be made in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of shipment. Prices include packaging in accordance with Zoran’s standard practice. Notwithstanding the passage of title, Zoran will retain a security interest and right of possession in the MaestroLink IC Products until ArcSoft has made payment in full. ArcSoft agrees to, and hereby appoints Zoran as ArcSoft’s agent and attorney-in-fact to sign and file any documents, including, without limitation, UCC-1 financing statements, necessary for the perfection of Zoran’s security interest in the shipped products.

9. Rescheduling and Cancellation. ArcSoft may reschedule all or any portion of an order for MaestroLink IC Products in accordance with the following: (a) fewer than ninety (90) days prior to scheduled delivery date, there is no rescheduling or cancellation allowed; and (b) over ninety (90) days prior to scheduled delivery date, a maximum thirty (30) day postponement within the same calendar quarter is allowed and these quantities are not subject to cancellation or subsequent postponement. Orders for MaestroLink IC Products cannot be cancelled. In addition, if ArcSoft issues an order for any MaestroLink IC Products at a quantity less than the firm quantity previously agreed, then a retroactive higher unit price will be determined in accordance with Zoran’s published volume pricing information relating to the MaestroLink IC Products. The difference between the total price paid and the total price due will be applied and billed by Zoran and paid by ArcSoft in accordance with Section 3 above.

10. Acceptance. ArcSoft has ten (10) days after receipt of the MaestroLink IC Products to confirm that they conform to the MaestroLink Specifications. Unless ArcSoft gives written notice to Zoran within such period, the MaestroLink IC Products will be deemed to be accepted.

11. Warranty. Because ArcSoft has designed the MaestroLink IC Products, Zoran sells the MaestroLink IC Products to ArcSoft on an “AS IS” basis, except as incorporated by Section 16 below. EXCEPT AS INCORPORATED BY SECTION 16 BELOW, THIS WARRANTY AND THE REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, STATUTORY, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON ZORAN’S PART WITH RESPECT TO THE MAESTROLINK IC PRODUCTS AND THEIR PERFORMANCE.

(c) The Holder may not elect to convert any part of the principal amount of this Note, or any interest thereon, prior to July 15, 2004, except in connection with an IPO or Change of Control Transaction occurring prior to that date.

(a) The principal amount of this Note, and the accrued interest thereon, shall initially be convertible into shares of Common Stock. If the IPO Date has not occurred by July 15, 2004, the conversion price shall initially be fixed at $4.90 as of that date.

(b) Immediately following the closing of the IPO, the conversion price shall be adjusted as follows:

3.4 Delivery of Note and Share Certificates. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder will deliver the original Note to the Company for cancellation, and will execute a standard form of stock purchase agreement and/or other agreements and instruments as are necessary to document the issuance of the Conversion Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

The Company covenants that all shares of Conversion Stock issued upon conversion of this Note will, upon such issuance, be fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges caused or created by the Company.

3.5 Adjustment of Conversion Rights. In the event that at any time while any portion of the principal of this Note remains outstanding the Company grants conversion rights to any other lender containing provisions more favorable to such lender than the terms of this Note, the Holder’s conversion rights hereunder shall automatically be adjusted to conform to such more favorable provisions.

4. Adjustment of Conversion Price and Number of Shares. The number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note and the purchase price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as follows:

4.1 Adjustment for Dividends in Stock, Cash or Other Property. In the event that at any time or from time to time on or after the date of this Note the holders of the Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time constituting Conversion Stock) shall have received or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional shares of capital stock of the Company or cash or other property (other than cash out of earnings or earned surplus, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) by way of a dividend or other distribution then, and in each such case, the Holder shall, upon conversion hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Conversion Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional capital stock of the Company and/or such cash or other property which the Holder would have held on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such Conversion Stock on the date of this Note and had thereafter, during the period from the date of this Note to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock, cash or other property receivable by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

4.3 Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. If, at any time on or after the date of this Note, the Company shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or shares of stock or other securities at the time constituting Conversion Stock) into a greater number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall thereby be proportionately reduced and the number of shares receivable upon conversion of this Note shall thereby be proportionately increased; and, conversely, if at any time on or after the date of this Note, the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock (or shares of stock or other securities at the time constituting Conversion Stock) shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall thereby be proportionately increased and the number of shares receivable upon conversion of this Note shall be proportionately decreased.
