Z-KAT and [***] entered into that certain license agreement dated August 31, 2001, which [***] subsequently assigned to [***], a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(a) (the “[***] License”). Notwithstanding statements to the contrary in Section 4.4 of the Z-KAT/MAKO 2004 License, the Minimum Royalty due under the [***] (and defined in Section 1.18 therein) will be treated as a Minimum Royalty under the ZKAT/MAKO 2004 License (and defined in Section 4.4 therein), such that MAKO shall be granted the right and shall assume the obligation to make payment of such Minimum Royalty pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 4.4 of the ZKAT/MAKO 2004 License, including, without limitation, the obligation to make any Minimum Royalty payment under the [***] unpaid as of the Effective Date.
          (b) [***] Licenses. Z-KAT and [***] entered into a sublicense Agreement on October 12, 2004 where Z-KAT granted a license to [***]with respect to the [***], a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(b)(A) (the “[***] Sublicense”). Z-KAT, [***],[***] and [***] entered into a license agreement on February 9, 2001, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(b)(B) [***]. Z-KAT hereby assigns to MAKO all of its rights to receive any royalty payments of any kind accrued (but not paid) as of the Effective Date and accruing thereafter under the [***] Sublicense and the [***] License (together, the “Z-KAT In-Licenses”) until either the First True Up or Final True Up (each as defined and described below), as applicable.
          (c) [***]. For as long as MAKO is, pursuant to the Z-KAT/MAKO 2004 License, paying all Prosecution Costs and Maintenance Costs (as defined and described in the Z-KAT/MAKO 2004 License) with respect to any particular item of Licensed IP (as defined in the Z-KAT/MAKO 2004 License) Z-KAT hereby assigns to MAKO its rights to receive payments directly from [***] under the [***] Sublicense (attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(c)) with respect to that particular item of Licensed IP. Z-KAT shall make reasonable efforts in cooperating with MAKO to arrange for MAKO to bill [***] directly for such payments.
          (d) MAKO Right to Assign License from Z-KAT. Notwithstanding any other term or provision to this Agreement, the ACA or the Z-KAT/MAKO 2004 License,

MAKO shall have the right to assume any License, if it can be assigned as of right, without loss of Rights, and to take assignment of any Licensed Patent (as such terms are defined in the Z-KAT/MAKO 2004 License) owned or held by Z-KAT in the event that Z-KAT’s actions or inactions could reasonably result in forfeiture of such License or Licensed Patent, provided that the possibility of forfeiture is not caused or does not arise from, in whole or in part, MAKO’s failure to perform its obligations or observe conditions placed on it pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement with Z-KAT; and further provided that MAKO grants concurrently with the assignment an exclusive, transferable, irrevocable, non-terminable license to Z-KAT, with the right to grant sub-licenses, in the Z-Kat Field (as defined in the Z-KAT/MAKO 2004 License) as to any assigned License or Licensed Patent. For the avoidance of doubt, an Assertion (as defined below) does not, by itself, constitute an action that could reasonably result in forfeiture of a License or Licensed Patent.
          (e) Termination of MAKO License. Including any other remedies provided for by law, this Agreement or otherwise, MAKO shall be entitled to terminate the MAKO/Z-KAT 2006 License upon the occurrence of a breach of this Agreement that is explicitly identified below as a “Material Breach” and not cured within thirty (30) days of its occurrence. No breach of this Agreement, even if it is with respect to a material obligation or condition of this Agreement, will give rise to a right to terminate the MAKO/Z-KAT 2006 License unless it is explicitly identified in this Agreement as a “Material Breach.”
          (f) No Change to Prior License Rights. Except to the extent expressly stated herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended to amend or alter any of the existing agreements between Z-KAT and MAKO. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent expressly stated herein, MAKO shall continue to have the same rights with respect to the Z-KAT/MAKO 2004 License as it enjoyed prior to the Effective Date with respect to the Z-KAT Licensed Patents and the Licensed IP Rights.
     1.2 Z-KAT License Rights.
          (a) Assertion. Z-KAT will, within a reasonable time prior to proceeding with a threat to enforce or with action to enforce (an “Assertion”) any of the Licensed IP Rights in the Z-KAT Field (as those terms are defined in the Z-KAT/MAKO 2004 License), either:
               (i) present MAKO in writing a binding engagement arrangement with competent counsel, covering the contemplated Assertion and reasonably adequate to ensure proper prosecution and defense of litigation arising from such Assertion. For the avoidance of doubt, an engagement arrangement on terms substantially similar to those set forth on Exhibit I.2(a)(i) attached hereto shall constitute an adequate arrangement; or
               (ii) deposit $[***], either in cash or MAKO Common Stock owned by Z-KAT (in the event MAKO stock is used, an independent appraisal must accompany such stock certifying the value as of the date of deposit) with an independent escrow agent, pursuant to an escrow agreement requiring transfer from the deposit to MAKO to pay for MAKO’s reasonable attorneys fees and expenses actually incurred by MAKO, should MAKO elect to take

over such Assertion from Z-KAT in the event Z-KAT is unable or unwilling to conduct proper prosecution and defense of litigation arising from such Assertion.
               (iii) Material Breach. An Assertion made by Z-KAT that is not in compliance with this Section 1.2(a) shall constitute a Material Breach by Z-KAT.
          (b) Rights with Respect to MAKO.
               (i) Accounting. Z-KAT may request and MAKO shall provide upon such reasonable request, an accounting for payments made by MAKO pursuant to rights to make such payments granted by Z-KAT to MAKO hereunder.
               (ii) Termination or Reimbursement. If MAKO does not make any payment as provided for hereunder with respect to a license or sublicense, Z-KAT may make such payment, seeking reimbursement from MAKO and terminating MAKO’s right to make such payments directly, in addition to any other rights it may have.
     1.3 True Up Payments.
          (a) Beginning upon the first anniversary of the date of payment of the final minimum royalty payments due to MAKO under the [***] Sublicense and for each year thereafter in which MAKO is making royalty payments of any kind under the [***] License, Z-KAT shall be paid (within thirty days) by MAKO [***] of the positive difference, if any, between (i) the running royalty payments received by MAKO from the Z-KAT In-Licenses for the preceding year and (ii) any minimum royalty payments made by MAKO (less any running royalties due under the [***] License from activities of MAKO and its sublicensees) under the [***] License (each an “Excess Royalty Payment”).
          (b) At the end of the Initial Royalty Period as defined in the [***] License, MAKO shall calculate the difference between (i) all amounts received by MAKO under the Z-KAT In-Licenses and (ii) the sum of all payments made by MAKO under the [***] License (less any running royalties due under the [***] License from activities of MAKO and its sublicensees) and the sum of all Excess Royalty Payments made by MAKO to Z-KAT (the “First True Up”). If the First True Up is a positive number Z-KAT shall be entitled to payment of the amount of the First True Up (within thirty days) and the assignment of royalties from the Z-KAT In-Licenses pursuant to Section 1.1(b) shall terminate. If the First True Up is a negative number, MAKO shall be entitled to all royalties of any kind under the Z-KAT In-Licenses, which royalties shall be applied against the First True Up number as received by MAKO until such time as the First True Up number has been reduced to zero (the “Final True Up”), at which point the assignment of royalties from the Z-KAT In-Licenses pursuant to Section 1.1(b) shall terminate.
2. CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS
     2.1 Voyager Payment. MAKO hereby purchases from Z-KAT and Z-KAT hereby sells to MAKO the Voyager Parts owned by Z-KAT, as set forth on Schedule 2.1 (specifically excluding the actual Voyager System located in Lakewood, Ohio) attached hereto for $[***] (the “Voyager Payment”).

                    (4) investment or loan into Z-KAT or an Affiliate (provided however that Z-KAT shall be entitled to obtain up to $500,000 in cash solely in the form of equity investment or debt, which shall be used to fund Z-KAT (or an Affiliate) and which shall be exempt from payment towards the Note);
                    (5) the sale of any MAKO stock held by Z-KAT or any Affiliate; or
                    (6) liquidation/winding up of Z-KAT or any Affiliate.
               (iii) Security Agreement. MAKO, in its sole discretion, may require Z-KAT to execute a security agreement with respect to MAKO’s interest in Z-KAT assets to secure a Payment Event.
               (iv) Material Breach. Failure to tender the entire proceeds of a Payment Event to MAKO upon the occurrence of such Payment Event or Z-KAT’s failure to tender any payment against the Note when due shall constitute a Material Breach of this Agreement.

Exhibit 1.2(a)(i) Sample Engagement Letter
October 27, 2005
General Counsel
Z-KAT, Inc.
2901 Simms St.
Hollywood, FL 33020
           Re:   Representation concerning current and future United States Patents assigned to Z-KAT, Inc.
Dear:
     As we discussed, Z-KAT, Inc. (hereinafter “Z-KAT” or “you”) currently owns or controls certain patents and patent applications listed on the attached Exhibit A (TO BE COMPLETED). During the term of this Agreement, Z-KAT may acquire additional patents and patent applications (collectively hereinafter “the Z-KAT Patents”). Z-KAT has reason to believe that certain entities and/or individuals may be infringing on one or more of the Z-KAT Patents now or in the future. You have requested that LAW FIRM represent Z-KAT (the “Representation”) by (1) conducting a preliminary investigation in an effort to evaluate the infringement and the merits of any such claims (2) if LAW FIRM concludes after completing its preliminary investigation that LAW FIRM is willing to incur the risk of pursuing possible claims on Z-KAT’s behalf; then LAW FIRM will assert and pursue claims on Z-KAT’s behalf for patent infringement and possibly other causes of action against parties for infringement of the Z-KAT Patents. Therefore, LAW FIRM has agreed to undertake the Representation subject to and in accordance with the terms, provisions and conditions of this letter agreement. For convenience, accused infringers are herein sometimes called the “Defendants,” and the subject of the Representation is herein called the “Matter.”
     Our acceptance of the Representation becomes effective upon your execution and return of the enclosed copy of this letter (the “Effective Date”). Your claims and causes of action in connection with the Matter are herein called “Client Claims.” Unless otherwise provided herein, the Representation may include conducting analysis of the patents and related documents, analyzing the systems you contend infringe the patent(s), handling licensing (if any), settlement negotiations (if any), drafting legal documents relating to granting of licenses or settlement with any Defendant, pretrial investigation and preparation, presentation and defense of applicable motions (if any), mediation (if any), trial (if any), prosecution or defense of any appeals (if any), retrial if required as a consequence of any appeal, and prosecution of legal proceedings to endeavor to collect any judgment obtained in connection with the Matter.
SECTION 1 Terms of Engagement
     This letter sets out the terms of our engagement in the Representation. Certain of those terms are included in the body of this letter, and additional terms are contained in the attached document entitled Additional Terms of Engagement. That document is expressly incorporated into this letter, and it should be read carefully. The execution and return of the enclosed copy of this

letter constitutes an unqualified agreement to all the terms set forth in this letter and in the attached Additional Terms of Engagement.
     It is understood and agreed that our engagement pursuant to this letter is limited to the Representation. This letter shall impose no obligation on us to provide legal services other than those set forth in this letter.
SECTION 2 Our Personnel Who Will Be Working on the Matter
     I will be working on the Matter, and you may call, write, or e-mail me whenever you have any questions about the Representation. I will be lead counsel in the Matter and will provide you with regular updates regarding the Representation. Other firm personnel, including firm lawyers and legal assistants, will participate in the Representation if, in our judgment, their participation is necessary or appropriate. As soon as those individuals are identified, we will let you know and you likewise may communicate with them.
SECTION 3 Preliminary Investigation and Discovery in Assisting With the Licensing and Any Litigation
     As described above, the first stage of the Representation will consist of a preliminary analysis and investigation to be conducted by LAW FIRM. If a lawsuit is filed, discovery of documents and information will occur from you and from the applicable Defendants. Even though LAW FIRM anticipates that it will incur substantial costs and expenses including both time of its attorneys and other personnel and Other Charges (as hereinafter defined) in the process of conducting such preliminary analysis, assisting with licensing, and investigation and discovery in any lawsuit that may be filed, LAW FIRM has informed you that such preliminary analysis and investigation and information obtained in licensing or discovery cannot be expected to and will not provide certainty as to whether the Client Claims have merit. Accordingly, you are hereby informed and hereby acknowledge that a decision by LAW FIRM based on such preliminary investigation that LAW FIRM is willing to incur the risk of pursuing the Client Claims, and a decision by LAW FIRM to continue the Representation after obtaining discovery in a lawsuit against one or more Defendants, will not constitute the expression of an opinion of LAW FIRM or a representation by LAW FIRM that the Client Claims have merit. To the contrary, in addition to the uncertainties associated with any trial of controverted facts or disputed legal issues, additional facts or circumstances not disclosed by the preliminary investigation or initial discovery, additional investigations, discovery and testimony by technical experts, and complex legal principles of uncertain application may result in defeating the Client Claims without regard to LAW FIRM’s preliminary conclusions based on the preliminary investigation or discovery and without regard to what may have transpired in any licensing efforts.
     At any time during the course of the Representation, LAW FIRM may notify you in writing that LAW FIRM, in the exercise of its sole judgment and discretion, has concluded on the basis of the preliminary analysis and investigation, what it has learned or believes as a result of assisting in the licensing efforts, or based or discovery in any lawsuit, that LAW FIRM is not willing to incur the risk and cost of pursuing or continuing to pursue the Client Claims against any of the Defendants under a contingent fee arrangement as set forth hereinafter in this letter agreement and that LAW FIRM has elected to terminate the Representation in its entirety. If LAW FIRM informs

you that LAW FIRM has elected to terminate the Representation in its entirety because it is not willing to incur the risk of pursuing or continuing to pursue the Client Claims against any of the Defendants, LAW FIRM shall provide a written summary of the basis for the termination. You agree that the Representation will terminate immediately and agree to execute such documents and take such action as is necessary to enable LAW FIRM to withdraw from the Representation. In the event that LAW FIRM withdraws from the Representation as provided for above in this paragraph (as distinguished from LAW FIRM’s withdrawal from the Representation for cause as provided for in the Termination section in the attached Additional Terms of Engagement), LAW FIRM will, of course, be entitled to be paid or retain its percentage contingent fee and payment or reimbursement of Other Charges incurred to the date of termination of the Representation out of any recoveries with respect to the Client Claims that are received (either prior to or after termination of the Representation) under or pursuant to licenses (if any) that have been executed and delivered between you and one or more Defendants prior to termination of the Representation, settlement agreements (if any) that have been executed and delivered between you and one or more Defendants prior to termination of the Representation, and judgments (if any) that have been entered in favor of you against one or more Defendants prior to termination of the Representation (excluding any such judgment as to which an appeal is pending at the time of termination of the Representation or is thereafter perfected) as provided for in the section of this letter entitled “Our Legal Fees and Other Charges” below (subject, if applicable, to the provisions of paragraph C of such section); but LAW FIRM will not be entitled to be paid any percentage contingent fee or other fee for services or payment or reimbursement of Other Charges out of or with respect to any other recoveries thereafter received by you after termination of the Representation with respect to the Client Claims (which other recoveries shall not be deemed to be or be included in “Gross Recovery” for any purpose under this letter agreement). In the event that LAW FIRM withdraws from the Representation for whatever reason, you will be provided with a copy of all files created or controlled by LAW FIRM and pertaining to the Matter and/or the Representation, including all files containing LAW FIRM’s analysis of the Matter, including the Z-KAT Patents, and LAW FIRM shall remain obligated to undertake any and all actions reasonably necessary to ensure no prejudice comes to Z-KAT as a result of such withdrawal by LAW FIRM.
SECTION 4 Our Legal Fees and Other Charges
     A. Fees: In consideration for LAW FIRM’s acceptance of the Representation and for the services to be performed pursuant to this letter and in lieu of an hourly billing arrangement, you agree to pay a fee to LAW FIRM (contingent upon what is recovered in the Matter by way of license, settlement, judgment, or otherwise, and subject, if applicable, to paragraph C below) and hereby assign and transfer a present and undivided interest to LAW FIRM in and to the the “Gross Recovery” and “Net Recovery” as defined below, to be computed as follows:
  1.   [***] of the Net Recovery obtained from any Defendant pursuant to a license or settlement agreement which is executed and delivered by you and such Defendant where such Defendant was not sued in any lawsuit filed by LAW FIRM with respect to the Client Claims;
 
  2.   [***] of the Net Recovery obtained from any Defendant who has been sued in a lawsuit filed by LAW FIRM with respect to the Client Claims pursuant to a license or settlement agreement which is executed and delivered by you and such

      Defendant before the date a Notice of Scheduling Conference is received from the Court in the initial lawsuit filed by LAW FIRM with respect to Client Claims against any of the Defendants (but not after that date);
 
  3.   except as provided in paragraph 2 above or paragraph 5 below, [***] of the Net Recovery obtained from any Defendant who has been sued in a lawsuit filed by LAW FIRM with respect to the Client Claims if the Client Claims against such Defendant are finally resolved by settlement agreement or license agreement before any party files any document necessary to commence an appeal to higher court of a final judgment (subject to appeal) entered in the trial court in such lawsuit, or if no appeal is commenced from a final judgment (subject to appeal) awarding a recovery to you entered in the trial court in such lawsuit;
 
  4.   except as provided in paragraph 5 below, [***] of the Net Recovery obtained from any Defendant who has been sued in a lawsuit filed by LAW FIRM with respect to the Client Claims if the Client Claims against such Defendant are not finally resolved until after any party files any document necessary to commence an appeal of a final judgment (subject to appeal) entered in the trial court in such lawsuit; and
 
  5.   provided that if and when the total Net Recovery obtained from one or more Defendants (collectively) exceeds $[***], LAW FIRM’s fee with respect to amounts of the total Net Recovery obtained from those Defendants or other Defendants (collectively) in excess of $[***] shall be [***] of the amounts of total Net Recovery in excess of $[***] (in addition to LAW FIRM’s fee with respect to amounts of Net Recovery up to a total of $[***] calculated pursuant to paragraphs 1 through 4 above, as applicable), notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 above.
     The applicable percentage fee payable to LAW FIRM as provided above shall be calculated on the total of the Net Recovery obtained and received from each Defendant. The “Net Recovery” means the total “Gross Recovery” as hereinafter defined, minus the total of the “Other Charges” as hereinafter defined. The “Gross Recovery” shall mean a recovery actually obtained and received by you, or any person or party claiming by, through, or under you, of money or property, real or personal and tangible or intangible, or any other benefit, by settlement or judgment or otherwise, on account of any or all of the Client Claims, without deduction of or reduction for “Other Charges” as hereinafter defined, but subject to the provisions of paragraph C below, if applicable. Gross Recovery shall include, but not be limited to, royalties or other periodic payments received under a license or an agreement entered into to settle a dispute with one or more of the Defendants, except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this engagement agreement or the attached Additional Terms of Engagement. In the event a court orders payment of attorneys’ fees, costs or expenses to you or to LAW FIRM as your attorneys in the Matter, the amount of those attorneys’ fees, costs or expenses which are collected shall be included in the “Gross Recovery” for purposes of calculating the percentage fee payable to LAW FIRM hereunder, but LAW FIRM shall not be entitled to receive or retain such court-awarded fees in addition to the applicable percentage specified herein of the total “Net Recovery,” if any, payable to LAW FIRM as a contingent fee hereunder.

     If a Gross Recovery received from any Defendant includes securities or some other non-monetary property or asset, you will have the right, at your election, to treat such securities or other non-monetary property or asset as the equivalent of money in an amount equal to the fair market value thereof as of the date of receipt thereof and to make payment in U.S. Dollars to LAW FIRM of any amounts of such Gross Recovery to which it is entitled under this agreement to pay or reimburse Other Charges or as LAW FIRM’s applicable percentage fee share of any remaining Net Recovery as provided for above. Alternatively, you will have the right, at your election, to transfer or convey to LAW FIRM a share of or interest in such securities or other non-monetary property or assets having a fair market value as of the date of receipt thereof equal to the amount of such Gross Recovery to which LAW FIRM is entitled under this agreement to pay or reimburse Other Charges and to transfer or convey to LAW FIRM its applicable percentage fee share of the remainder, if any (the “Net Recovery”), of such securities or other non-monetary property or asset. In any instance when you and LAW FIRM are unable to agree regarding the fair market value of any such securities or other non-monetary property or assets within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, it is agreed that the dispute will be submitted to a non-binding mediation before a mutually agreed upon mediator in Dallas, Texas. In the event the dispute is not resolved by mediation, the parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration before a board of three arbitrators in Dallas, Texas, conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
     All amounts of Gross Recovery shall be paid or delivered to LAW FIRM either directly from Defendants or by Z-KAT promptly upon receipt thereof. LAW FIRM shall hold such Gross Proceeds in trust for you and shall distribute such Gross Proceeds as promptly as practicable first to apply toward payment of Other Charges owing to LAW FIRM pursuant to paragraph B below. Any remaining Net Proceeds shall be distributed to pay the contingent fee owing to LAW FIRM pursuant to this paragraph A, and the remainder thereof shall be distributed to you.
     B. Charges for Other Services and Expenses: LAW FIRM agrees to advance all charges for other services and expenses (collectively, “Other Charges”) incurred or provided by LAW FIRM that appear to LAW FIRM (in reasonable consultation with you) to be reasonably necessary for the preliminary investigation and, if the Representation has not terminated, the prosecution of the Client Claims whether through assistance with licensing or through litigation. LAW FIRM shall be authorized to incur those Other Charges which we deem reasonable and necessary to endeavor to accomplish a satisfactory resolution of the Matter. It is further agreed that we are expressly authorized to retain any consultants, experts, or third-party providers that are reasonably necessary in our judgment in connection with the Representation. If there is no amount of Gross Recovery in the Matter, you shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse LAW FIRM for arty Other Charges incurred, charged or expended by LAW FIRM, and you shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse LAW FIRM for any amount of Other Charges in excess of whatever amounts of Gross Recovery are actually recovered. In this regard, however, if any amounts of a Gross Recovery from any Defendant or Defendants have been deemed to be a “Net Recovery” and have been distributed to you and LAW FIRM as provided for in paragraph A above and LAW FIRM thereafter incurs or expends Other Charges (“Unpaid Other Charges”) that are not paid or reimbursed to LAW FIRM out of amounts of Gross Recovery from one or more Defendants thereafter obtained and received, and if (and only if) the total amounts of Net Recovery theretofore distributed to you (as your share thereof) pursuant to paragraph A above exceed [***], you will be obligated to pay or reimburse to LAW FIRM a portion (hereinafter described as the “Refundable

Portion”) of the amount of such Unpaid Other Charges that has not been paid or reimbursed to LAW FIRM upon termination of the Representation out of the amounts of “Net Recovery” from any Defendant or Defendants (collectively) in excess of [***] that have been distributed to you pursuant to said paragraph A. The “Refundable Portion” of Unpaid Other Charges that you may thus become obligated to pay to LAW FIRM out of amounts of “Net Recovery” distributed to you pursuant to paragraph A above shall be equal to the aggregate amount (up to all thereof) by which the amounts of “Net Recovery” in excess of a total of [***] distributed to you pursuant to said paragraph A would have been reduced if such Unpaid Other Charges had been paid and deducted from the applicable amounts of Gross Recovery before dividing the remainder thereof as “Net Recovery” between LAW FIRM and you as provided for in said paragraph A. Other Charges may include, without limitation, charges or expenses made in furtherance of the Matter for long-distance telephone calls, facsimile and other electronic transmissions, messenger and other delivery fees, postage, charges for computer research and outside assisted legal research, travel expenses such as mileage, parking, airfare, meals, and hotel accommodations, photocopying and other reproduction charges, conference expenses, clerical staff overtime, word processing charges, charges for computer time, process server’s fees, filing fees and other charges assessed by courts and other public agencies, court reporter’s fees, videographer’s fees, jury fees, witness fees, investigator’s fees, trial presentation expenses, expert’s fees, or consultant’s fees, and other similar items. In situations where we can readily determine the exact amount of expenses for products and services provided by third parties to be charged to your account, our charges for Other Charges will reflect the cost to us of the product or services. In many situations, however, the total cost of providing a product or service is difficult to establish, in which case we will use our reasonable professional judgment as to the charges to be made for such product or service, which charges shall not substantially vary from or exceed our direct cost of such product or service. Attached is a copy of our current recharge schedule for expenses and services provided through our Dallas, Texas, office, which is subject to change from time to time. Charges for expenses and services provided through other offices of our firm may vary from the attached Dallas office recharge schedule. LAW FIRM agrees that it will send monthly statements to you that summarize the Other Charges expended or incurred and charged to your file to date.
     It is expressly agreed, that if LAW FIRM elects to and does engage other attorneys or law firms (who, we anticipate, would serve as local counsel) to assist LAW FIRM in connection with litigation against or pursuing Client Claims against any Defendant or Defendants, the legal fees charged by such attorneys or law firms for their services shall not be deemed to be “Other Charges,” and LAW FIRM shall be solely responsible for payment of such fees on such basis and in such manner or amount as may be agreed between LAW FIRM and such attorneys or law firms. However, any expenses and charges for supplies or services other than legal services of the nature of “Other Charges” described above that are incurred or expended by any such attorneys or law firms in connection with the Matter and paid or reimbursed by LAW FIRM shall be deemed to be “Other Charges” for purposes of this agreement.
     C. Declining or Withdrawing From Representation as to Particular Defendants or With Respect to Appeal From or Retrial Following an Adverse Trial Court or Appellate Decision: As described in the section of this letter agreement entitled “Conflicts of interest” below, LAW FIRM may decline to represent you in asserting Client Claims against particular potential infringers who might be Defendants, based on a conflict of interest that would exist if LAW FIRM undertook such representation. If LAW FIRM notifies you that it will not represent you in

asserting Client Claims against a particular potential infringer because of a conflict of interest, you will, of course, have the right to pursue the Client Claims against such party for your own account and at your own expense using other counsel of your choice, and no amount of any recovery you may obtain from such party shall be included in or shall be deemed to be a “Gross Recovery” for any purpose under this agreement.
     Likewise, at any time during the course of the Representation, LAW FIRM may notify you that on the basis of the information it has obtained it has determined that it is not willing to incur the risk and cost of pursuing or continuing to pursue the Client Claims as against a particular Defendant on a contingent fee basis (either because LAW FIRM believes that evidence of infringement by the Defendant may be inconclusive, that the amount of any likely recovery from the Defendant would not justify the cost and risk, or that collection of a recovery from the Defendant may be doubtful, or for any other reason deemed appropriate in LAW FIRM’s judgment). If LAW FIRM provides such a notice to you with respect to a particular Defendant, the Representation will immediately terminate insofar only as to that particular Defendant, and you agree to execute such documents and take such action as is necessary to enable LAW FIRM to withdraw from the Representation insofar as to such particular Defendant. In that event, you will, of course, have the right to pursue the Client Claims against such Defendant for your own account and at your own expense using other counsel of your choice, and no amount of any recovery you may obtain from such Defendant shall be included in or shall be deemed to be a “Gross Recovery” for any purpose under this agreement.
     In the event a trial court ruling on an appealable dispositive motion is entered, or a trial court judgment is entered following a trial, or in the event an appellate court decision is rendered in an appeal, LAW FIRM shall have the right, but not the obligation, to continue to represent you in any appeal or appeals of such ruling, judgment, or decision or in any retrial required by any such decision. LAW FIRM shall have complete discretion in deciding whether it will participate in any such appeal or retrial.
     In the event LAW FIRM elects not to participate in any appeal or retrial and you elect to go forward with an appeal or retrial with other counsel and obtain and receive a recovery from any Defendant who is a party to such lawsuit during or after the appeal or retrial, then (notwithstanding the fact that such recovery will not be deemed to be included in or to be “Gross Recovery” for purposes of this agreement), within thirty (30) days after request by LAW FIRM, you shall meet with LAW FIRM to negotiate an agreement addressing LAW FIRM’s fees for its services through the trial and any appeal and payment for Other Charges. If after thirty (30) days you and LAW FIRM are unable to reach an agreement in this regard, then the parties agree to submit the dispute to a non-binding mediation before a mutually agreed-upon mediator in Dallas, Texas. In the event the dispute is not resolved by mediation, the parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration before a board of three arbitrators in Dallas, Texas, conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and agree that the arbitrators shall be directed to determine and award to LAW FIRM such amount (if any) of the following to which the arbitrators determine LAW FIRM is entitled on a quantum meruit basis for its services and charges and expenses in connection with the trial and any appeals: (1) Other Charges; and (2) LAW FIRM’s fees for its services performed through the trial and any appeal.

SECTION 5 Taxable Court Costs or Other Expenses
     In the event a trial or appellate court awards taxable court costs, attorneys fees’ or any other expenses against you in connection with a judgment rendered in the Matter, you are solely responsible for any such costs, fees or expenses which may be owing to an adverse party, except where such costs, fees or expenses are awarded based on the acts or omissions of LAW FIRM, in which case they will be paid by LAW FIRM.
SECTION 6 Conflicts of Interest
     Before accepting the Representation, we have undertaken reasonable and customary efforts to determine whether there are any potential conflicts of interest that would bar our firm from representing you in the Matter. Based on the information available to us, we are not aware of any potential conflict of interest that might bar our firm from representing you in the Matter against a number of the potential infringers. Because of the number of potential infringers, we may have some conflicts which prevent us from pursuing those parties and we will not pursue those parties as to whom we determine that a conflict of interest would exist if we pursued Client Claims against such parties. In reviewing the issue of potential conflicts of interest, we have reviewed the issue in accordance with the rules of professional responsibility adopted in Texas and principles applied by Federal Courts sitting in Texas regarding disqualification of counsel based on conflicts of interest. We believe that the rules of professional conduct adopted in Texas, rather than the rules of any other jurisdiction, are applicable to the Representation, and the execution and return of the enclosed copy of this letter by your son s an express am to the applicability of those rules.
     Exclusions from List of Defendants
     With the exception of those entities set forth in Exhibit B hereto (which may or may not be potential infringers), which such entities are specifically excluded as Defendants under this agreement and as to which you have and shall retain the right to determine whether or not to pursue the Client Claims for your own account and at your own expense using other counsel of your choice, and for which no amount of any recovery you may obtain shall be included in or shall be deemed to be a “Gross Recovery” for any purpose under this agreement, as of the date of this agreement there are no individuals and entities known by the either LAW FIRM or you to be excluded from the pool of potential Defendants under this agreement.
SECTION 7 Consultation Regarding Settlement, Licensing, and Other Decisions
     You agree that you will consult with us in advance concerning any proposed settlement or licensing agreement with or abandonment of the Client Claims against any of the Defendants with respect to whom we are representing you, and we will endeavor to provide our advice concerning such matters to assist you in determining whether to offer or propose or acceptor reject any such proposed settlement or licensing agreement or abandon the Client Claims against any such Defendant. However, we will not be authorized to execute any settlement or license agreement without your express written authority; and all license agreements, settlements, decisions to abandon the Client Claims and decisions to proceed with or abandon litigations and/or appeals shall be subject to your consent, approval, and sole discretion.

Regular Reporting LAW FIRM agrees to provide you with written monthly reporting of (1) all Other Charges incurred and/or paid and (2) services our firm rendered as part of the Representation for the preceding month.
SECTION 8 Independent Representation
     You represent and acknowledge that you have consulted with and been advised by legal counsel of your own choice unrelated to LAW FIRM concerning the terms and provisions and form and content of this letter agreement and the attached Additional Terms of Engagement before executing or agreeing to this agreement.
SECTION 9 180 Days
     If LAW FIRM shall endeavor to provide you with the results of its preliminary investigation as soon as possible but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days from the commencement of the Engagement, and should LAW FIRM fail to file an action against any Defendant within one hundred eighty (180) days from the Effective Date of this engagement letter, then you shall have the right to terminate this engagement letter by giving written notice of termination to LAW FIRM at any time prior to the time that LAW FIRM does take action on any Defendant, in which event you will owe no fees or Other Charges to LAW FIRM.
SECTION 10 Client and Investor Meeting
     It is expressly stipulated that before a final decision is made to file any lawsuit against any Defendant asserting the Client Claims, LAW FIRM will require a meeting in Dallas, Texas (or an alternate location acceptable to LAW FIRM), with you and any material inventors and/or assignees of material patents to be asserted, in order to discuss an overall strategy for pursuit of the Client Claims and explore any areas of possible concern regarding the nature of and continuation of the Representation in a face to face meeting. Expenses associated with any such meeting shall be paid by LAW FIRM and treated as Other Expenses under this agreement.LAW FIRM agrees to work with you to reasonably identify those persons reasonably necessary for participation in said meeting, some of whom may be allowed to attend telephonically should circumstances allow.
SECTION 11 Conclusion
     This letter and the attached Additional Terms of Engagement constitute the entire term of the engagement of LAW FIRM in the Representation. These written terms of engagement are not subject to any oral agreements or understanding s, and they can be modified only by further written agreement signed both by you and LAW FIRM. Unless expressly stated in these terms of engagement, no obligation or undertaking shall be implied on the part of either you or LAW FIRM.

If there are any questions about these terms of engagement, or if these terms are inaccurate in any way, please let me know immediately.

     It is our policy and your agreement that the party we represent is the one identified in our engagement letter and that our attorney-client relationship does not include any related persons or entities. Far example, if a corporation, partnership, or other organization is identified as our client in our engagement letter referenced above, we do not represent any related parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, commonly-owned corporations or partnerships, or other such persons, entities, or affiliates, whether now existing or hereafter becoming such by virtue of merger, dissolution, acquisition, or any other means. Accordingly, it is understood that we may represent another client with interests adverse to any such affiliated or related person or entity without first obtaining consent from you.
SECTION 13 Who Will Provide the Legal Services
     As our engagement letter confirms, LAW FIRM will represent you in the Matter. LAW FIRM is a registered limited liability partnership pursuant to the Texas Revised Partnership Act.
     Although our firm will be providing legal services, each client of the firm customarily has a relationship principally with one attorney, or perhaps a few attorneys. At the same time, however, the work required in the Representation, or parts of it, may be performed by other firm personnel, including lawyers and legal assistants. Such delegation may be for the purpose of involving other firm personnel with experience in a given area or for the purpose of providing services on an efficient and timely basis.
SECTION 14 Our Relationships With Others
     Our law firm represents many companies and individuals. In some instances, the applicable rules of professional conduct may limit our ability to represent clients with conflicting or potentially conflicting interests. Those rules of conduct often allow us to exercise our independent judgment in determining whether our relationship with one client prevents us from representing another. In other situations, we may lie permitted to represent a client only if the other clients consent to that representation.
     Rules concerning conflicts of interest vary with the jurisdiction. In order to avoid any uncertainty, it is our policy that the governing rules will be those applicable to the particular office of our firm that prepares the engagement letter for a particular matter. The acceptance by you of our engagement letter constitutes as express agreement with that policy, unless the engagement letter specifically states that some outer rules of professional responsibility will govern our attorney-client relationship.
     If a controversy unrelated to the Matter develops between you and any other client of the firm, we will follow the applicable rules of professional responsibility to determine whether we may represent either you or the other client in the unrelated controversy.
     In addition to our representation of other companies and individuals, we also regularly represent lawyers and law firms. As a result, opposing counsel in the Matter may be a lawyer or law firm that we may represent now or in the future. Likewise, opposing counsel in the Matter may represent our firm now or in the future. Further, we have professional and personal relationships with many other attorneys, often because of our participation in bar associations and other professional organizations. It is our professional judgment that such relationships with other

attorneys do not adversely affect our ability to represent any client. The acceptance of these terms of engagement represents an unqualified consent to any such relationships between our firm and other lawyers or law firms, even counsel who is representing a party that is adverse to you in the Matter that is the subject of this engagement or in sonic other matter.
SECTION 15 Termination
     At any time, you may, with or without cause, terminate the Representation by notifying us of your intention to do so. If you terminate the Representation without cause, LAW FIRM shall retain the right to receive payment out of any Gross Recovery thereafter received by you (up to the full amount of such Gross Recovery) of all Other Charges incurred, charged or expended by LAW FIRM in connection with the Representation or which are incurred, charged or expended in connection with an orderly transition of the Matter, together with the full contingent fee share of any Net Recovery received by you. If LAW FIRM is discharged by you for cause, LAW FIRM may not be entitled to compensation or payment for its services or Other Charges in connection with the Representation or may be entitled to compensation or payment for such services or Other Charges on a quantum meruit basis as may be appropriate in the circumstances under the applicable laws and code or rules of professional conduct.
     We are subject to the codes or rules of professional responsibility for the jurisdictions in which we practice. There are several hypes of conduct or circumstances that could justify and result in our withdrawing from representing a client, including, for example, the following: misrepresentation or failure to disclose material feeds: fraudulent or criminal conduct; and action contrary to our advice. The right of LAW FIRM to withdraw with justification as described herein is in addition to any rights to withdraw with justification created by statute or recognized by the governing rules of professional conduct. We try to identify in advance and discuss with our clients any situation that may lead to our withdrawal. If LAW FIRM withdraws from the Representation, then, except as and unless otherwise provided in our engagement letter, LAW FIRM shall retain the right to receive payment out of any Gross Recovery theretofore or thereafter received by you (up to the full amount of such Gross Recovery) of all other Charges incurred, charged or expended by LAW FIRM in connection with the Representation or which we incurred, charged or expended in connection with an orderly transition of the Matter, and LAW FIRM may be entitled to compensation for its services on a quantum meruit basis out of any Net Recovery (as defined in the engagement letter) as may be appropriate in the circumstances under the applicable laws and code or rules of professional conduct. Further, you will promptly take all steps necessary too release LAW FIRM of any further obligations in the Representation or the Matter, including, without limitation, the execution of any documents necessary to effectuate LAW FIRM’s withdrawal from the Representation and the Matter.
     In the event that LAW FIRM notifies you that it believes it is entitled to compensation or payment for its services or Other Charges in connection with the Representation on a quantum meruit basis following termination of the Representation for cause, you and LAW FIRM will endeavor in good faith to agree upon such amount (if any) as is mutually acceptable to the parties. If after thirty (30) days you and LAW FIRM are unable to reach an agreement in this regard, their the parties agree to submit the dispute to a non-binding mediation before a mutually agreed-upon mediator in Dallas, Texas. In the event the dispute is not resolved by mediation, the parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration before a board of three arbitrators in Dallas, Texas,

conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and agree that the arbitrators shall be directed to determine and award to LAW FIRM such amount (if any) of fees for its services and (if not otherwise provided for in these Additional Terms of Engagement) payment or reimbursement for Other Charges to which the arbitrators determine LAW FIRM is entitled on a quantum meruit basis.
SECTION 16 Document Retention
     At the close of any matter, we send our flies in that matter to a storage facility for storage at our expense. The attorney closing the file determines how long we will maintain the files in storage. After that time, we will destroy the documents in the stored files.
     Upon termination of the Representation, we return to the client any documents and files that are subject to the agreement with such client or are specifically requested to be returned. As to any documents so returned, we may elect to keep a copy of the documents in our stored files.
SECTION 17 Severability
     If any term or provision of the engagement letter or these additional terms of engagement is finally determined by any court, arbitrator, or other tribunal to be void or unenforceable in whole or in part or as to any person, party, or circumstance, the engagement letter and these additional terms of engagement shall nevertheless be and remain valid and enforceable as to all terms and provisions thereof and as to all persons, parties, or circumstances as to which they are not thus determined to be void or unenforceable; and, notwithstanding any such determination, the engagement letter and these additional terms of engagement shall be and remain valid and shall be enforced, as to each term and provision thereof, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.
SECTION 18 Governing Law
     The engagement letter and these additional teems of engagement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applicable to contracts made in and to be performed in Texas, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that might require application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 19 Ownership of Client Claims/Grant of Lien
     Each of LAW FIRM and you acknowledge and repent that you own 100% of the Client Claims. You hereby grant a first priority lien to LAW FIRM on any Gross Recovery received or recovered by you or any party claiming by, through, or under you, to secure payment of the fees, if any, and Other Charges, if any, becoming payable from you to LAW FIRM as provided for in the engagement Letter agreement and these additional terms of engagement. Such lien will be in addition to all other rights of LAW FIRM to receive sums if any owing from you under the engagement letter agreement and these additional terms of engagement. You hereby represent and warrant to LAW FIRM that there are no other known outstanding liens on the Client Claims or Gross Recovery.
