21.0 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

In consideration for the increased royalties specified in this amendment and the higher than required royalties already paid by Licensee since the beginning of this agreement, Company agrees to provide Licensee with a Right of First Refusal as follows:

Following (i) the Company’s receipt of any offer or proposal relating to, or a bona fide indication of interest in, a Sale Transaction, including in the form of a term sheet, letter of intent, email or other writing containing customary details (an “Acquisition Proposal”) (ii) the determination by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), or authorization of the Company’s management, to seek and identify a third party buyer for purposes of effecting a Sale Transaction or (iii) the Board’s recommendation to the Company’s stockholders to accept a Sale Transaction, any third party tender offer, exchange offer or other sale for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, or any sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, the Company shall provide Licensee with written notice of such Acquisition Proposal, determination, authorization or recommendation (the “Acquisition Notice”) within ten (10) business days. The Acquisition Notice shall set forth the identity of such third party and any information provided by the Company to such third party in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, determination, authorization or recommendation.

In the event an Acquisition Notice is delivered pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) above, or pursuant to clause (i) above so long as the Board or the Company’s management determines to engage in further discussions with respect to or otherwise pursue such Acquisition Proposal, then (a) Licensee shall have thirty (30) business days, beginning on the date of the Company’s delivery of such Acquisition Notice to notify the Company that it wishes negotiate a Sale Transaction with the Company and (b) if Licensee gives the Company such notice within such 30-day period, the Company shall, for a period of sixty (60) business days commencing on the date of the Licensee’s delivery of such notice to the Company (the “Negotiation Period”), negotiate, in good faith and on an exclusive basis, with Licensee (or a designated Affiliate of Licensee) the terms of a potential Sale Transaction between the Company and Licensee or such designated Affiliate. The Board shall consider any proposal for a Sale Transaction made by Licensee or such designated Affiliate during the Negotiation Period in a manner consistent with the Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders. The Company hereby agrees that during the Negotiation Period, the Company shall not enter into or participate in negotiations with any third party that is seeking to make,


or has made, an Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar instrument relating to an Acquisition Proposal with any third party. In the event that the parties are unable to agree on the terms of a Sale Transaction during the Negotiation Period, the Company shall be free to negotiate with the third party that delivered the Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not enter into a binding agreement with such third party in respect of a Sale Transaction unless the Company has first provided to Licensee the opportunity to execute an agreement on substantially the same terms as those offered to the third party. If, within the Negotiation Period, Licensee has not executed an agreement with the Company equivalent to that offered to the third party, the Company shall be free to enter into such agreement with such third party.

“Sale Transaction” means (i) any acquisition or purchase, directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company, or 30% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of (A) the Company or (B) any of the Company’s subsidiaries whose assets, taken as a whole, constitute 30% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company, (ii) any acquisition or purchase of the Products, Derivative Products or any Intellectual Property Rights therein, (iii) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in a third party beneficially owning 30% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of (A) the Company or (B) any of the Company’s subsidiaries whose assets, taken as a whole, constitute 30% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company, (iv) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 30% or more of the consolidated assets of Company.

14. A new Section 22.0 is added to the Agreement which reads as follows:

 

22.0 SOURCE CODE ESCROW

Company, upon Licensee’s request, shall deposit certain Deposit Materials with a mutually agreeable third-party Escrow Agent. Company and Licensee agree to work in good faith to execute a three-party Escrow Agreement between Company, Licensee, and Escrow Agent. Deposit Materials are any and all materials required to enable Licensee to build and maintain Derivative Products, including but not restricted to: Source Code, executable build scripts, build instructions, and Documentation source files. Licensee shall only have rights to use Deposit Materials to build Derivative Products covered by this agreement. For avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not have rights to build any other Company Products whose source code may be present within Deposit Materials but which are not required to build Derivative Products. Deposit Materials shall be released to Licensee upon the occurrence of one or more of the following Release Conditions: (i) the dissolution of Company or the cessation of Company’s business; (ii) Company’s becoming insolvent, making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, having a receiver appointed to manage its affairs, or being adjudicated a bankrupt under the laws of the United States; (iiiv) Company’s inability, failure or unwillingness to provide maintenance or support services that conform in all material respects to the requirements of this Agreement, which inability, failure or unwillingness continues for a period of at least thirty (30) days following Licensee’s written notice to


Company thereof; or (iv) joint written instructions from Company and Licensee. Licensee will be responsible for and agrees to pay any and all fees and expenses incurred in connection with depositing and maintaining the Deposit Materials with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
