(ii) if the SEC shall have declared the Registration Statement effective during the period that is less than sixty (60) trading days before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Open Market Period shall be reduced to a number of trading days equal to that number of trading days between the effective date of the Registration Statement and the date that is one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Closing Date, but to not less than a period of thirty (30) trading days (but in no event shall the end of the Open Market Period be later than one hundred fifty (150) calendar days after the Closing Date), after the expiration of which Seller may direct the Seller Broker-Dealer to sell all or the remaining Shares in a Private Sale as provided herein;

(iii) if for any reason the Registration Statement is not continuously effective during the Open Market Period or is subject to a Blackout Period during the Open Market Period, the Open Market Period shall be suspended until such time as the Registration Statement becomes effective or is no longer subject to a Blackout Period, at which time the Open Market Period will resume for that number of days then remaining in the Open Market Period; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement remains subject to a Blackout Period or is not continuously effective for sixty (60) trading days by the date that is one hundred fifty (150) calendar days after the Closing Date, Seller may direct the Seller Broker-Dealer to sell all or the remaining Shares in a Private Sale as provided herein.

(b) Prior to any Private Sale, Seller and the Seller Broker-Dealer must (i) provide Purchaser with prior written notice of any such Private Sale, including the proposed purchase price of the Shares (a “Private Sale Notice”), and (ii) effect any such Private Sale only after consultation with Purchaser and subject to Purchaser’s right to purchase such Shares at the same or a higher purchase price than that offered by the proposed purchaser by providing Seller and the Seller Broker-Dealer with notice of intention to effect any such purchase within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Private Sale Notice and completing such purchase within two (2) Business Days thereafter.

(c) In the case that some or all of the Shares are sold in a Private Sale, the Seller Broker-Dealer shall conduct such Private Sale on a basis and at such price as it deems reasonable, provided that in no event shall Seller have any obligations or liabilities in respect thereof apart from customary representations as to compliance with applicable securities law requirements in respect of such sale.

(d) The Seller Broker-Dealer shall promptly pay to Seller, as and when received, all proceeds of all sales, before deduction of brokerage commissions and any other reasonable costs of sale (“Gross Proceeds”), up to an amount equal to the Purchase Price as adjusted through the Closing Date, and shall pay any Gross Proceeds in excess of such amount to Purchaser within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving such excess proceeds, provided however, that Seller shall bear the Seller Broker-Dealer’s brokerage commission on open market sales and Purchaser shall bear any incremental commissions or costs incurred in any Private Sale in excess of the commissions that would be payable in connection with an open market sale of such Shares, if applicable. In the event the Gross Proceeds received by Seller at the end of the Open Market Period, together, if applicable, with the Gross Proceeds received by Seller from a Private Sale, are less than the Purchase Price as adjusted through the Closing Date (the amount of such shortfall being the “Realization Shortfall”), Purchaser shall make a cash payment to Parent equal to the Realization Shortfall within fifteen (15) calendar days after Seller has notified Purchaser of such shortfall and provided a summary calculation of the determination thereof; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to payment of any Realization Shortfall with respect to any Shares which were not sold in compliance with the Trading Plan if Seller shall have instructed the Seller Broker Dealer to sell Shares other than in accordance with the Trading Plan.

SECTION 2.13. Effect of Existence of Certain Patents Primarily Relating to the Business. If, notwithstanding Seller’s representations and warranties in Section 3.11 hereof, Seller owns as of the date hereof, any Patent (or subsequently patented inventions existing as of the date hereof) with claims that (i) necessarily would be infringed by the use, manufacture, sale, offer for sale or enforcing of any Transferred Products in Inventory, and (ii) relate primarily to the Business Seller agrees that, effective as of the Closing Date, it will assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Patent, promptly following the final resolution of any dispute as to whether such Patent is subject to (i) and (ii) above, including, in the case of any litigation involving the application of this Section 2.13 to any Patent owned by Seller as of the date hereof (or any Patent issuing from any invention of Seller existing as of the date hereof), after the entry of a final and non-appealable judgment resolving in Purchaser’s favor any dispute as to whether such Patent is subject to (i) and (ii) above.

Neither Seller nor its subsidiaries has knowledge of any facts, or circumstances, including any information or fact that would constitute prior art, that would render any Registered Transferred Trademarks invalid or unenforceable, or would materially and adversely affect any pending application for any Registered Transferred Trademark, and neither Seller nor its subsidiaries has knowingly misrepresented, or knowingly failed to disclose, any facts or circumstances in any application for any Registered Transferred Trademark that would constitute fraud or a misrepresentation with respect to such application or that would otherwise impair the validity or enforceability of any

Registered Transferred Trademark. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties of this Section 3.11(b) shall not apply to the intent-to-use applications for Trademarks included in the Registered Transferred Trademarks.

(i) No Transferred IP, Seller Cross-License IP Licensed Media Reader IP or Transferred Product is subject to any proceeding or outstanding decree, order, judgment, or stipulation or Contract of which Seller is a named party or has knowledge restricting, in any material manner, the use, transfer, or licensing thereof by Seller or any of its subsidiaries, or which reasonably would be expected to materially impair the validity, use or enforceability of such Intellectual Property (in the case of Licensed Media Reader IP in connection with the incorporation of the Licensed Media Reader IP in Video Products) or Transferred Products in Inventory (or to the knowledge of Seller, with respect to Transferred Products other than Transferred Products in Inventory).

(d) Non-Infringement.

(i) Except as set forth in Section 3.11(d)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, the design, development, manufacture, use, import, sale, licensing or other exploitation of Transferred Products in Inventory does not, and will not, infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property (provided for Patents, this sentence applies to issued Patents that exist as of the Closing Date) of any third party or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction in which such products have been sold prior to the Closing Date. To the knowledge of Seller, the design, development, manufacture, use, import, sale, licensing or other exploitation of Transferred Products other than Transferred Products in Inventory not yet marketed does not and will not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property of any third party or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction. Neither Seller nor any of its subsidiaries has received written notice from any third party within the prior two (2) years alleging any such infringement, misappropriation, unfair competition or trade practices.

(ii) All Transferred IP incorporated into or embodied in any Transferred Product was developed solely by either (i) employees of Seller or its subsidiaries acting within the scope of their employment or (ii) by third parties who have validly and irrevocably assigned all of their rights, including all Intellectual Property rights therein, to Seller or its subsidiaries. To the extent any such Intellectual Property constitutes Registered Transferred Trademarks, Seller or its subsidiaries has recorded each such assignment with the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

(e) Software. No open source or public library software, including any version of any software licensed pursuant to any GNU public license, is, in whole or in part, embodied or incorporated into any Transferred Product excluding any such software that is distributed as a separate program in a manner that does not subject any software owned by Seller that is embodied or incorporated in such Transferred Product to any open source license terms.

Contracts.

(iv) Neither this Agreement nor the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the assignment to Purchaser, of any Transferred Contracts will result in (i) any third party being granted rights or access to, or the placement in or release from escrow, of any software source code or other technology owned by Seller and included in the Transferred IP, (ii) Purchaser granting to any third party any right in any Intellectual Property (other than pursuant to licenses expressly granted by Seller under Transferred Contracts to improvements or future developments), (iii) Purchaser being bound by, or subject to, any non-compete or other restriction on the operation or scope of its businesses, or (iv) Purchaser being obligated to pay any royalties or other amounts to any third party at rates in excess of those payable by Seller or its subsidiaries prior to the Closing.

To the knowledge of Seller and its subsidiaries, no current or former employee, consultant or independent contractor of Seller or its subsidiaries, who was involved in, or who contributed to, the creation or development of any material Transferred IP, Seller Cross License IP and Licensed Media Reader IP, was performing services for the government, university, college, or other educational institution or research center during a period of time during which such employee, consultant or independent contractor was also involved in the creation or development of such Intellectual Property.

(i) Third-Party Infringement. To the knowledge of Seller and its subsidiaries, no person has infringed or misappropriated, or is infringing or misappropriating, any Transferred IP, Seller Cross License IP and Licensed Media Reader IP in connection with the sale of Video Products, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Trade Secret Protection. Seller and each of its subsidiaries has taken reasonable steps to protect the respective rights of Seller and its subsidiaries in Seller’s and such

subsidiaries’ confidential information and trade secrets material to the Business (other than those relating to Development Tools and Infrastructure Technology), and any trade secrets or confidential information of third parties material to the Business (other than those relating to Development Tools and Infrastructure Technology) provided to Seller or any of its subsidiaries under an obligation of confidentiality, and, without limiting the foregoing, each of Seller and its subsidiaries has a policy requiring each employee and contractor involved in the development of Seller Owned IP to execute a proprietary information/confidentiality agreement in substantially the form of Section 3.11(j) of the Disclosure Schedule delivered herewith or such other form that does not include provisions that differ from those set forth in such form and that impair Seller’s rights in any such Trade Secrets or confidential information, to the knowledge of Seller and all current and former employees and contractors of Seller and any of its subsidiaries have executed such an agreement, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected have an adverse effect on Seller. Except as disclosed in Section 3.11(j) of the Disclosure Schedule, since March 31, 2003, Seller has not disclosed any secret or confidential Business Intellectual Property (except by way of issuance of a patent) to which, or under which, Seller or any of its subsidiaries has any right, title, interest or license, which disclosure would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business.

(a) Each party hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities and officials that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and each such party will cooperate fully with the other parties hereto in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals.

(b) Seller shall give promptly such notices to third parties and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such third party consents and estoppel certificates as Purchaser may in its sole and absolute discretion deem necessary or desirable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including, without limitation, all third party consents that are necessary or desirable in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Contracts, provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to give any guarantee or other consideration of any nature in connection with any such consent or estoppel certificate.

(c) Purchaser shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in giving such notices and obtaining such consents and estoppel certificates; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to give any guarantee or other consideration of any nature in connection with any such notice, consent or estoppel certificate or to consent to any change in the terms of any Transferred Contract which Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion may deem adverse to the interests of Purchaser or the Business.

(d) Anything in this Agreement or the Assumption Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Transferred Contract listed on Part II of Schedule 8.2(f) if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of the other party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof, noncompliance

by Seller or its Affiliates thereunder or in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser thereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event any consent, approval or authorization necessary or desirable to preserve for the Business or Purchaser any right or benefit under any such Transferred Contract is not obtained prior to the Closing, Seller will, subsequent to the Closing, cooperate with Purchaser in attempting to obtain such consent, approval or authorization as promptly thereafter as practicable. If such consent, approval or authorization cannot be obtained, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with the rights and benefits of such affected Transferred Contract for the term of such Transferred Contract, and, if Seller provides such rights and benefits, Purchaser shall assume the obligations and burdens thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including, subcontracting, sublicensing, or subleasing to Purchaser, or under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of Purchaser, with Purchaser assuming Seller’s obligations, any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto.

SECTION 5.5. Notice of Developments. Prior to the Closing, (a) Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of (i) all events, circumstances, facts and occurrences arising subsequent to the date of this Agreement which could result in any breach of a representation or warranty or covenant of Seller in this Agreement or which could have the effect of making any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any respect and (ii) all other material developments affecting the Assets, Assumed Liabilities, business, financial condition, operations, results of operations, Distribution Channel Participant or vendor relations, employee relations, projections or prospects of the Business, and (b) Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of all events, circumstances, facts and occurrences arising subsequent to the date of this Agreement which could result in any breach of representation or warranty or covenant of Purchaser in this Agreement or which could have the effect of making any representation or warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any respect.

SECTION 5.6. No Solicitation or Negotiation. Seller agrees that between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the termination of this Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its subsidiaries nor any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, representatives or agents will (a) solicit, initiate, consider, encourage or accept any other proposals or offers from any Person (other than Purchaser) (i) relating to any acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the Assets (other than Inventory to be sold in the ordinary course of the Business consistent with past practice), (ii) to enter into any business combination with Seller that could reasonably be expected to affect the Business or the Assets or that would delay or interfere with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) to enter into any other extraordinary business transaction involving or otherwise relating to the Business or the Assets or that could reasonably be expected to delay or interfere with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iv) release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality agreement that relates to the Business or the Assets or any standstill agreement to which Seller is a party, or (b) participate in any discussions, conversations, negotiations or other communications regarding, or furnish to any other Person (other than Purchaser) any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any other Person to seek to do any of

the foregoing. Seller immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly if any such proposal or offer, or any inquiry or other contact with any Person with respect thereto, is made and shall, in any such notice to Purchaser, indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and the principal terms and conditions of such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact.

SECTION 5.7. Use of Intellectual Property.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 5.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, from and after the Closing, Seller and its subsidiaries shall not use any of the Transferred Intellectual Property, other than Intellectual Property licensed to Seller pursuant to the Cross License Agreement or pursuant to the Dazzle Trademark License Agreement.

(b) Promptly after the Closing Seller shall change its corporate name and any dba, and amend its charter accordingly, to one not using any trademark, service mark, trade dress, logo, trade name or corporate name contained in the Transferred Intellectual Property or any trademark, service mark, trade dress, logo, trade name or corporate name similar or related thereto, except as permitted in the Dazzle Trademark License Agreement. As promptly as practicable following the Closing, Seller shall remove or obliterate any Transferred Intellectual Property from letterheads and other materials remaining in its possession or under its control, and Seller shall not use or put into use after the Closing any materials that bear any trademark, service mark, trade dress, logo, trade name or corporate name contained in the Transferred Intellectual Property or any trademark, service mark, trade dress, logo, trade name or corporate name similar or related thereto, except as permitted in the Dazzle Trademark License Agreement.

SECTION 5.8. Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) In partial consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price, Seller covenants and agrees that for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, none of Seller or any of its subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in, carry on, manage, operate, perform or control the management or operation of any Restricted Business in any portion of the territory (the “Restricted Territory”) consisting of the world, or (ii) own any equity interest in any Person that is engaged in, carries on, manages, operates, performs or controls the management or operations of any Restricted Business in the Restricted Territory.

(b) For purposes of this Section 5.8, the term “Restricted Business” means each of the following: (i) the design, manufacture, distribution or sale of Video Products, and (ii) the licensing, transfer, assignment or granting of any rights to a third party for the design, manufacture, distribution or sale of Video Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Restricted Business” does not include the Media Reader Business or the design, manufacture, distribution or sale of Security

Related Products or the licensing, transfer, assignment or granting of any rights to a third party for the design, manufacture, distribution or sale of Security Related Products.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.8(a), it will not constitute a breach of this Section 5.8 for Seller or its Subsidiaries to: (i) acquire (including through a merger other corporate transaction), invest in or own equity interests in any Person engaged in, carrying on, managing, operating, performing or controlling the management or operation of a Restricted Business, so long as (1) Seller and its subsidiaries do not own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate in excess of 5% of the outstanding equity interests of such Person, and (2) none of Seller or any of its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, manages, operates or controls the management or operation of such Person or any Restricted Business of such Person; (ii) take any action in connection with the satisfaction of any warranty obligation of any Seller existing on the Closing Date that was not assumed by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii), including delivery of Transferred Products (whether such Transferred Products are Inventory that were not sold pursuant to this Agreement or are acquired by Seller or one of its subsidiaries after the Closing Date), or (iii) sell or dispose of any assets (whether tangible, intangible, real or personal) owned by any Seller as of the Closing that are not the Assets or any equity interests in any Seller, any Affiliate of any Seller or any subsidiary of any Seller, subject to Section 5.8(f).

(d) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that compliance with the covenants contained in this Section 5.8 is necessary to protect Purchaser and that a breach of any such covenant would result in irreparable and continuing damage for which there would be no adequate remedy at Law. Seller agrees that in the event of any breach of such covenant, Purchaser shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and to such other and further relief as is proper under the circumstances without the posting of any bond by Purchaser. Seller agrees that these covenants shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants not to compete for each year within the applicable periods of non-competition and separate covenants not to compete for each state within the United States and each country in the world. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines any of the foregoing covenants to be unenforceable with respect to the term thereof or the scope of the subject matter or geography covered thereby, then such covenant shall nonetheless be enforceable by such court against Seller or other relevant Person upon such shorter term or within such lesser scope as may be determined by the court to be reasonable and enforceable. In the event Seller or any of its subsidiaries is in violation of the aforementioned restrictive covenants, then the time limitation thereof shall be extended for a period of time during which such breach or breaches shall occur, unless a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final non-appealable judgment to the effect that such extension is illegal or unenforceable.

(e) Seller further covenants and agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, neither Seller nor any of its subsidiaries will, for a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, solicit for employment as an employee, officer, agent, consultant, advisor, or in any other capacity whatsoever, any employee of Purchaser employed in the Business. As used herein, “solicit” means contact or communicate in any manner whatsoever, including, but not limited

to, contacts or communications by or through intermediaries, agents, contractors, representatives, or other parties, provided that nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit Seller from (i) placing advertisements for employment that are aimed at the public at large in any newspaper, trade magazine, or other periodical in general circulation, or (ii) responding to any unsolicited inquiry by any Purchaser employee concerning employment.

(f) This Section 5.8 shall be binding upon any successor or assign to all or substantially all the assets of or business of Seller and the Business Subsidiaries, and Seller and the Business Subsidiaries will cause any such successor or assign to acknowledge and agree to be bound by this Section 5.8 for the benefit of Purchaser as a condition precedent to making such entity its successor or assign; provided, however, that any acquiror or other counterparty in any such transaction shall not be subject to any restriction hereunder with respect to competing activities in the Restricted Business that are carried on by parent, subsidiary or affiliate companies of such acquiror, that are not themselves successors or assigns of the affected Seller’s assets. If any Seller acquires a Person or business in violation of Section 5.8(a)(ii), Seller shall have a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such acquisition to cure such violation by divesting the portion of the Person or business that is engaged in the Restricted Business or by causing such Person or business to cease competing in the Restricted Business.

SECTION 5.9. Excluded Liabilities. Seller will pay and discharge the Excluded Liabilities as and when the same become due and payable.

SECTION 5.10. Bulk Transfer Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Seller with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Assets to Purchaser (other than any obligations with respect to the application of the proceeds herefrom). Pursuant to Article IX, Seller has agreed to indemnify Purchaser against any and all liabilities which may be asserted by third parties against Purchaser as a result of Seller’s noncompliance with any such law.

SECTION 5.11. Further Action. Each of the parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, and execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including to transfer the Assets to Purchaser or evidence such transfer on the public records. Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser all Transferred Technology not delivered to Purchaser on the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.12. No Manipulation of Purchaser Securities. Until the later to occur of (i) the expiration of the Open Market Period or (ii) the date on which all of the Shares shall have been sold, either on the open market or in a Private Sale, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will engage, and neither Seller or any of its Affiliates will cause, advise, ask or assist any Person to engage, directly or indirectly, in “short sales” (as defined in Rule 3b-3 under the Securities Act)

(whether or not “against the box”) of shares of Purchaser Common Stock or any security or instrument whose value is otherwise based on the value of Purchaser Common Stock.

SECTION 5.13. Collection of Receivables. Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement, Purchaser undertakes to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in the collection of Receivables; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller or any of its subsidiaries for any such Receivables that are currently uncollectible as of the date hereof or become uncollectible after the date hereof. In accordance with Purchaser’s undertaking to assist Seller in collecting Receivables pursuant to this Section 5.13, Purchaser shall be entitled to the following fees to be payable by Seller:

(i) If and when the aggregate Receivables collected by or on behalf of Seller after the Closing equal or exceed ninety percent (90%) of the net Receivables outstanding as of the Closing Date, calculated in a consistent methodology with Section 3.5 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “First Receivables Threshold”), then Purchaser shall be entitled to a fee payable by Seller in an amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($500,000) (the “First Receivables Fee”).

(ii) If and when such aggregate Receivables collected by or on behalf of Seller after the Closing exceed the First Receivables Threshold, Purchaser shall be entitled to a fee in an amount equal to thirty seven and one half percent (37.5%) of the aggregate Receivables collected in excess of the First Receivables Threshold, until such aggregate Receivables collected by or on behalf of Seller after the Closing exceed the First Receivables Threshold in an amount equal to or in excess of Four Million dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Second Receivables Threshold”).

(iii) If and when such aggregate Receivables collected by or on behalf of Seller after the Closing exceed the Second Receivables Threshold, Purchaser shall be entitled to a fee in an amount equal to fifty percent (50.0%) of the aggregate Receivables collected in excess of the Second Receivables Threshold.

(iv) Receivables shall remain payable directly to Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Receivables to be paid to Seller; provided, however, that to the extent Purchaser receives payment of Receivables on Seller’s behalf, Purchaser shall remit to Seller all such Receivables collected within fifteen (15) calendar days of the last day of each calendar month following the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account directed by Seller.

Subject to any amounts to be offset pursuant to this Section 5.13 and Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 of this Agreement, Seller shall remit to Purchaser any fees due pursuant to this Section 5.13 within fifteen (15) calendar days of the last day of each calendar month following the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account directed by Purchaser.

SECTION 5.14. Product Returns. Purchaser undertakes to purchase any Product Returns made after the Closing Date at the fair market value of applicable Transferred Product, taking into consideration the condition and salability of the applicable Transferred Product as of the date of return. Purchaser and Seller shall use good faith efforts to reach agreement on the fair market value of any Transferred Products returned pursuant to this Section 5.14; provided, however, that if Purchaser and Seller are not able to reach agreement on the fair market value of any Transferred Products returned pursuant to this Section 5.14, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the materials or Inventory purchase cost for such returned Transferred Products. Subject to any amounts to be offset pursuant to Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 of this Agreement, Purchaser shall remit to Seller any amount due pursuant to this Section 5.14 within fifteen (15) calendar days of the last day of each calendar month following the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account directed by Seller.

SECTION 5.15. Post-Closing Sales Orders. Purchaser undertakes to fulfill any Sales Orders, as agent for Seller, under any Contract with any Distribution Channel Participant to which Seller or any Business Subsidiary is a party placed after the Closing Date and during the applicable notice period for termination, if any, under each such Contract (whether or not such notice is actually given) on the terms specified in such Contracts, and shall be entitled to payment in full by the purchaser for any such completed Sales Orders. Purchaser shall remit to Seller out of the proceeds of any such sale any royalties to third parties payable by Seller in connection with such sale. Seller undertakes to remit to Purchaser any amounts paid to Seller in respect of any of the foregoing Sales Orders within fifteen (15) Business Days of such payment by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account directed by Purchaser.

SECTION 5.16. Sale of Media Reader Business. Seller shall not consummate any sale of the Media Reader Business prior to the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.17. Financial Statements. Seller shall provide Purchasers with audited financial statements covering each product line of the Transferred Products dated as of the Closing Date and meeting the requirements of Item 7(a) of Form 8-K under the Exchange Act within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date if Purchaser is required to file a current report on Form 8-K including the financial statements required by Item 7(a) of Form 8-K under the Exchange Act. Purchaser and Seller shall each bear one-half of the fees payable to Seller’s Accountants in connection with such audit.

SECTION 5.18. Termination of Contracts. Within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate each contract with a Distribution Channel Participant to which Seller or any of its subsidiaries is a Party related to Transferred Products (or the portions thereof that relate to Transferred Products), and shall pay all rebates, refunds, payments and credits owing thereunder based on Transferred Products sold or shipped in the periods prior to the Closing, except to the extent being contested in good faith.

ARTICLE VI

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

SECTION 6.1. Employment Offers. Purchaser shall be entitled to (i) enter into discussions with any or none of the Employment Candidates set forth on Schedule 6.1 delivered herewith and (ii) offer at-will employment to any such Employment Candidates, which employment offer shall be effective as of no earlier than the Closing Date, provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to either enter into such discussions with, or make employment offers to, any Employment Candidates. Such offers of employment shall be at-will and provide comparable benefits in the aggregate as those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser (“Employment Offers”), and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller with a view toward avoiding any severance obligations Seller may otherwise have to such Employment Candidates. Employment Candidates who accept Employment Offers shall become Purchaser employees effective on the Closing Date (collectively “Transferred Employees”).

SECTION 6.2. Access to Employees and Employee Information.

(a) Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with reasonable access to the Employment Candidates prior to the Closing Date during normal business hours following the date of the execution of this Agreement in order to, among other things, deliver Employment Offers and to provide information to such Employment Candidates about Purchaser. All communications by Purchaser with the Employment Candidates shall be conducted in a manner that does not disrupt or interfere with Seller’s operation of its business.

(b) At the request of Purchaser, Seller will provide Purchaser with any records reasonably requested by Purchaser relating to the Employment Candidates, including the name, the place of employment, the current annual salary rates, bonuses, deferred or contingent compensation, pension, accrued vacation, “golden parachute” and other like benefits paid or payable (in cash or otherwise) in 2001 and 2002, the date of employment and a description of the position and job function of each Employment Candidate, subject to Seller’s generally applicable policies regarding confidentiality of employee information (in which case Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Employment Candidate’s consent to the disclosure of such information to Purchaser).

SECTION 6.3. Benefits. Effective at the Closing Date, Transferred Employees shall cease all participation in the Seller Benefit Plans. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause applicable Purchaser benefit plans to waive, to the extent waived or satisfied under the analogous Seller Benefit Plans, (i) any pre-existing condition or (ii) any waiting period limitation that would otherwise be applicable to Transferred Employees on or after the Closing Date under Purchaser’s benefit plans.

SECTION 6.4. Seller Benefits Liabilities. From and after the Closing Date, Seller and any ERISA Affiliates (which, for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall not include the Purchaser) shall (i) sponsor and (ii) assume or retain, as the case may be, and be solely responsible for all Seller Benefits Liabilities whether incurred before, on or after the Closing, but excluding any liabilities arising after the Closing Date under Purchaser’s benefit plans, which shall be Purchaser’s responsibility.

SECTION 6.5. COBRA Continuation Coverage . The Seller agrees and acknowledges that the selling group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A-3(a)) of which it is a part (the “Selling Group”) will continue to offer a group health plan to employees after the Closing Date and, accordingly, that Seller and the Selling Group shall be solely responsible for providing continuation coverage under COBRA to those individuals who are M&A qualified beneficiaries (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A-4(a)) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “M&A Qualified Beneficiaries”). Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser for, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any and all COBRA obligations, liabilities and claims related to M&A Qualified Beneficiaries and all other qualified beneficiaries (as defined in Code Section 4980B(g)(1)) with respect to Seller’s group health plans. Seller further agrees and acknowledges that in the event that the Selling Group ceases to provide any group health plan to any employee prior to the expiration of the continuation coverage period for all M&A Qualified Beneficiaries (pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A-8(c)), each Seller shall provide Purchaser with (i) written notice of such cessation as far in advance of such cessation as is reasonably practicable (and, in any event, at least thirty (30) days prior to such cessation), and (ii) all information necessary or appropriate for Purchaser to offer continuation coverage to such M&A Qualified Beneficiaries.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

SECTION.7.1. Indemnity.

(a) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser against the following Taxes and against any loss, damage, liability or expense, including reasonable fees for attorneys and other outside consultants, incurred in contesting or otherwise in connection with any such Taxes: (i) Taxes imposed on Seller for any taxable period attributable to the Business with respect to any taxable periods (or any portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date other than Taxes arising out of the ordinary course of the Business on the Closing Date as a result of actions taken by or at the request of Purchaser or its Affiliates; (ii) with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, Taxes imposed on the Business which are allocable, pursuant to Section 7.1(b) other than Taxes arising out of the ordinary course of the Business on the Closing Date as a result of actions taken by or at the request of

Purchaser or its Affiliates, to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date; (iii) Taxes imposed on Seller or any member of any affiliated group with which Seller files, has filed or should have filed a Tax return on a consolidated or combined basis for a taxable period (or a portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date; and (iv) Taxes imposed on Purchaser as a result of any breach of warranty or misrepresentation under Section 3.14 of this Agreement. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller against Taxes and reasonable fees and associated expenses not allocated to Seller pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.7.

(b) In the case of Taxes that are attributable to the Business and that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be:

(i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income, expenses, receipts or the like, or (y) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) (other than conveyances pursuant to this Agreement, as provided under Section 7.7), deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of Seller, any Assets or otherwise measured by the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

SECTION 7.2. Returns and Payments.

(a) From the date of this Agreement through and after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and file or otherwise furnish in proper form to the appropriate Governmental Authority (or cause to be prepared and filed or so furnished) in a timely manner all Tax returns, reports and forms (“Returns”) relating to Seller and the Business that are due on or before or relate to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (and Purchaser shall do the same for Returns relating to the Business with respect to any taxable period ending after the Closing Date). Returns of the Business not yet filed for any taxable period that begins before the Closing Date shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices (except to the extent counsel for Purchaser reasonably acceptable to such Seller renders a legal opinion that there is no reasonable basis in Law therefor or that a Return cannot be so prepared and filed without being subject to penalties). With respect to any Return required to be filed by Purchaser or Seller with respect to the Business and as to which an amount of Tax is allocable to the other party under Section 7.1(b), the filing party shall provide the other party and its authorized representatives with a copy of such completed Return and a statement certifying the amount of Tax shown on such Return that is allocable to such other party pursuant to Section 7.1(b), together with appropriate supporting information and schedules at least

20 Business Days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof) for the filing of such Return, and such other party and its authorized representatives shall have the right to review and comment on such Return and statement prior the filing of such Return. If the parties disagree regarding the contents of such Return, the Return shall not be filed until the matter is resolved (or, if earlier, the last date for filing without penalty, taking into account extensions of time to file), and the matter shall be submitted promptly to a firm of certified public accountants, mutually acceptable to the parties, for final resolution. If such Return is filed prior to the submission to such accounting firm, such Return shall be amended to comply with the determination of such accounting firm. The fees for such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller, on one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand. Neither party shall have a right to amend any Return that was the subject of review by the other party without that other party’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Seller shall pay or cause to be paid when due and payable all Taxes required to be paid with respect to Seller and the Business for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date to the extent Seller is responsible for such Taxes pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and 7.1(b), and Purchaser shall so pay or cause to be paid Taxes for the Business for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date (subject to its right of indemnification from Seller by the date set forth in Section 7.5 for Taxes attributable to the pre-Closing Date portion of any taxable period that includes the Closing Date pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b)).

SECTION 7.3. Refunds.

(a) Any Tax refund (including any interest with respect thereto) relating to Seller or the Business for any taxable period prior to the Closing Date shall be the property of Seller, and if received by Purchaser shall be paid promptly to Seller.

(b) In the event that any of the Assets is acquired by an Affiliate of Purchaser and such acquisition would give rise to any refundable withholding Tax obligation, the parties shall cooperate to abate such withholding Taxes and Seller shall timely apply for a refund of such withholding Taxes in accordance with applicable law, and shall promptly remit to Purchaser any refund of such withholding Taxes received by Seller.

SECTION 7.4. Contests.

(a) After the Closing, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of any written notice of all audits proposed assessment or claim in an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding of Purchaser which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer, could result in grounds for indemnification under this Article VII; provided, however, that a failure to give such notice will not affect Purchaser’s right to indemnification under this Agreement except to the extent, if any, that, but for such failure, Seller could have avoided all or a portion of the Tax liability in question.

(b) In the case of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding that relates to periods ending on or before the Closing Date, provided that Seller acknowledges in writing its

liability with respect to any Taxes arising therefrom in accordance with this Article VII, Seller shall have the right at its expense to participate in and control the conduct of such audit or proceeding, but only to the extent that such audit or proceeding relates solely to a potential adjustment for which Seller has acknowledged its liability hereunder; Purchaser also may participate in any such audit or proceeding, and, if Seller does not assume the defense of any such audit or proceeding, Purchaser may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, settling such audit or proceeding in accordance with Section 7.4(d). In the event that issues relating to a potential adjustment for which Seller has acknowledged its liability are required to be dealt with in the same proceeding as separate issues relating to a potential adjustment for which Purchaser would be liable, Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, to control the audit or proceeding with respect to the latter issues, provided that Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to bifurcate the issues in such proceeding as reasonably requested by Seller.

(c) With respect to issues relating to a potential adjustment for which both Seller (as evidenced by its acknowledgment under this Section 7.4) and Purchaser could be liable, (i) each party may participate in the audit or proceeding, and (ii) the audit or proceeding shall be controlled by that party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of the adjustment and any corresponding adjustments that may reasonably be anticipated for future Tax periods. The principle set forth in the preceding sentence shall govern also for purposes of deciding any issue that must be decided jointly (in particular, choice of judicial forum) in situations in which separate issues are otherwise controlled under this Article VII by Purchaser and Seller.

(d) Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall enter into any compromise or agree to settle any claim pursuant to any Tax audit or proceeding which would adversely affect the other party for such year or a subsequent year without the written consent of the other party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate in the defense against or compromise of any claim in any audit or proceeding.

SECTION 7.5. Time of Payment. Payment by Seller or Purchaser of any amounts due under this Article VII in respect of Taxes shall be made (i) at least three Business Days before the due date of the applicable estimated or final Return required to be filed by Purchaser or Seller, respectively, on which is required to be reported income for a period ending before or after the Closing Date, respectively, for which Seller or Purchaser is responsible under Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) without regard to whether the Return shows overall net income or loss for such period, and (ii) within three Business Days following the occurrence of the earlier of an agreement between Seller and Purchaser that an indemnity amount is payable, an assessment of a Tax by a taxing authority, or a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code. If liability under this Article VII is in respect of costs or expenses other than Taxes, payment of any amounts due under this Article VII shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the date when the party obligated to make the payment has been notified by the other party that the obligated party has a liability for a determinable amount under this Article VII and is provided with calculations or other materials supporting such liability.

SECTION 7.6. Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Upon the terms set forth in Section 5.2, Seller and Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Return, amended Return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes, participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes or making representations to or furnishing information to parties subsequently desiring to purchase all or a part of the Business from Purchaser. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax authorities. The parties shall make their employees available on a basis mutually convenient to both parties to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall retain all Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of Seller and the Business for each taxable period first ending after the Closing Date and for all prior taxable periods until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods, or (ii) six (6) years following the due date (without extension) for such Returns. Any information obtained under this Section 7.6 shall be kept confidential in accordance with Section 5.3 except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

SECTION 7.7. Conveyance Taxes . Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII to the contrary, Purchaser shall bear one-half of all Conveyance Taxes (up to a maximum of $25,000) which become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, irrespective of whether such Conveyance Taxes are levied against Seller or Purchaser, and Seller shall bear the remainder of all such Conveyance Taxes. Seller, after the review and consent by Purchaser, shall file such applications and documents as shall permit any such Conveyance Tax to be assessed and paid on or prior to the Closing Date in accordance with any available pre-sale filing procedure. Purchaser shall execute and deliver all instruments and certificates necessary to enable Seller to comply with the foregoing. Purchaser shall complete and execute a resale or other exemption certificate with respect to the inventory items sold hereunder, and shall provide Seller with an executed copy thereof. The parties shall agree on the amount of such Taxes due as a result of the Closing, and Purchaser shall pay its share to Seller, or Seller shall pay its share to Purchaser (depending on the party required to pay such Taxes to the applicable Taxing Authority), at the Closing and Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such amounts to the applicable taxing authority. Purchaser shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of any value added Taxes imposed upon the sale of the Assets to Purchaser.

SECTION 7.8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Seller and Purchaser agree to treat all payments made by either to or for the benefit of the other under this Article VII, under other indemnity provisions of this Agreement and

for any misrepresentations or breach of warranties or covenants, as adjustments to the Purchase Price or as capital contributions for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof except to the extent that the laws of a particular jurisdiction provide otherwise. All payments shall be made in an amount sufficient to indemnify the relevant party on an after-Tax basis.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the parties to indemnify and hold each other harmless pursuant to this Article VII, and the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 3.14, shall terminate at the close of business on the 120th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall not without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold such consent) make, or cause or permit to be made, any Tax election that would affect the Business following the Closing.

(d) For purposes of this Article VII, “Purchaser” and “Seller,” respectively, shall include each member of the affiliated group of corporations of which it is or becomes a member.

(e) The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover professional fees and related costs that it may reasonably incur to enforce the provisions of this Article VII.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 9.1. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and all statements contained in the Acquisition Documents, shall survive the Closing until 5:00 p.m. California time on the date that is the twelve (12) month anniversary thereof; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties dealing with Tax matters shall survive as provided in

Section 7.8(b), and (b) insofar as any claim is made by Purchaser for the breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.11, such representation and warranty shall, for purposes of such claims by Purchaser, survive the Closing until the thirty six (36) month anniversary of the Closing. Neither the period of survival nor the liability of Seller with respect to Seller’s representations and warranties or of Purchaser with respect to Purchaser’s representations and warranties shall be reduced by any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of Purchaser or Seller respectively. Upon the expiration of a representation or warranty pursuant to this Section 9.1, such representation or warranty shall be deemed to be of no further force or effect, as if never made, and no action may be brought based on the same, whether for indemnification, breach of contract, tort or under any other legal theory, unless written notice of a claim based on such representation or warranty specifying in reasonable detail the facts on which the claim is based shall have been delivered in accordance with Section 9.2(c) of this Agreement and prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty by Purchaser to Seller or by Seller to Purchaser, as applicable, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

SECTION 9.2. Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Seller for any and all Liabilities, losses, damages (other than lost profits or consequential damages), claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them (including, without limitation, any Action brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (a “Loss”), arising out of or resulting from:

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller contained in the Acquisition Documents; or

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller contained in the Acquisition Documents; or

(iii) any Excluded Liabilities; or

(iv) Liabilities arising from or related to any failure to comply with laws relating to bulk transfers or bulk sales with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (notwithstanding the waiver contained in Section 5.10).

To the extent that Seller’s undertakings set forth in this Section 9.2(a) may be unenforceable, Seller shall contribute the maximum amount that it is permitted to contribute under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Losses incurred by Purchaser.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, from and after the Closing Date, Sellers and their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Purchaser for any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from:

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser contained in the Acquisition Documents; or

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Purchaser contained in the Acquisition Documents; or

(iii) any Assumed Liabilities.

To the extent that Purchaser’s undertakings set forth in this Section 9.2(b) may be unenforceable, Purchaser shall contribute the maximum amount that it is permitted to contribute under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Losses incurred by Sellers.

(c) A Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (each as the applicable context requires, an “Indemnified Party”)shall give Seller or Purchaser, as applicable (each as the applicable context requires, an “Indemnitor”) notice of an Indemnification Claim by delivery of a certificate signed by an officer of such Indemnified Party (an “Officer’s Certificate”) within sixty (60) calendar days of determining the existence of any such Indemnification Claim, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The Indemnitor may object to any Indemnification Claim set forth in an Officer’s Certificate by delivery to the Indemnified Party of a written statement of objection (an “Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of an Officer’s Certificate. The obligations and Liabilities of Indemnitor under this Article IX with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article IX (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give Indemnitor notice of such Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release Indemnitor from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve Indemnitor from any other obligation or liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article IX. If Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and Indemnitor,

then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of Indemnitor. In the event Indemnitor exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with Indemnitor in such defense and make available to Indemnitor, at Indemnitor’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by Indemnitor. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, Indemnitor shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at Indemnitor’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in Indemnitor’s possession or under Indemnitor’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by Indemnitor without the written consent of the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnified Party shall be fully indemnified for all Losses by the Indemnitor.

SECTION 9.3. Limits on Indemnification. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses arising pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of all Losses under all claims of Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) shall exceed Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the “Purchaser Indemnitee Deductible”), at which time all Losses incurred in excess of the Purchaser Indemnitee Deductible shall be subject to indemnification hereunder. The amount of any Losses otherwise recoverable under Section 9.2(a) or applicable to the Purchaser Indemnitee Deductible shall be reduced by any amounts actually received by a Purchaser Indemnified Party under insurance policies (net of any costs incurred in connection with the collection thereof and any increase in insurance premium or reduction in policy limits attributable thereto); provided, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to file any insurance claim in respect of any indemnifiable Loss hereunder. The Purchaser Indemnitee Deductible shall not apply to Losses covered by Section 9.2(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Seller arising out of or resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 9.2 (other than Liabilities arising under Article VII), whether arising as a contract or tort claim or otherwise under or in respect of this Agreement, shall be an amount equal to 40% of the Purchase Price as it may be adjusted in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply to any Losses arising or resulting from any Excluded Liabilities, from any breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 5.8 or 5.17, or from fraud.

SECTION 9.4. Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration

(a) If Indemnitor delivers an Objection Notice to the Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 9.2(c) hereof, Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party shall meet in good faith to attempt to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each Indemnification Claim. If Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties.

(b) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of an Objection Notice, either Indemnitor or the Indemnified Party may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss that is at issue is the subject of pending litigation with respect to a Third Party Claim, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Seller and the Indemnified Party. In the event that, within thirty (30) calendar days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period, Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. If the Indemnitor fails to select an arbitrator during this fifteen (15) day period, then the parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator selected by the Indemnified Party.

(c) Any such arbitration shall be held in Santa Clara County, California, under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any Indemnification Claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions that shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The foregoing arbitration provision shall apply to any dispute between Indemnitor and any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX hereof.

SECTION 9.5. Payment of Indemnification. In the event that (a) Indemnitor shall not have objected to the amount claimed by an Indemnified Party for indemnification with respect to any Loss in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.2(c) of this Agreement or (b) Indemnitor shall have delivered an Objection Notice as to the amount of any indemnification requested by an Indemnified Party and either (i) Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party shall have, subsequent to the giving of such notice, mutually agreed that Indemnitor is obligated to indemnify

the Indemnified Party for a specified amount, (ii) a final award shall have been rendered in an arbitration pursuant to Section 9.4(c), or (iii) a final nonappealable judgment shall have been rendered by the court having jurisdiction over the matters relating to such Indemnification Claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification from Indemnitor, then Indemnitor shall pay any such indemnification owed to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days of such mutual agreement or final nonappealable judgment, as applicable, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account directed by the Indemnified Party.

SECTION 9.6. Tax Matters. Anything in this Article IX to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Tax matters shall be governed by Article VII (except that the dispute resolution provisions of Section 9.4 shall govern except to the extent such provisions are inconsistent with Article VII).

SECTION 9.7. Purchase Price Adjustments. Anything in this Article IX to the contrary notwithstanding, any adjustments, distributions and disputes arising pursuant to Article II of this Agreement shall be governed by such Article II.

SECTION 9.8. Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article IX (which include by reference the provisions of Article VII related to Taxes) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties from and after the Closing Date for any claims arising under this Agreement, including claims of breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, other than for any claims of breach of Sections 5.8 or 5.17, or for fraud; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief.

ARTICLE X

(b) by either Seller or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred by August 14, 2003 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, shall have resulted in, or shall have materially contributed to the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(c) by either Purchaser or Seller in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(d) by Purchaser if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Seller and as a result of such breach the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) would not then be satisfied; provided, however, that if such breach is curable by Seller within fifteen (15) days through the exercise of its reasonable efforts, then for so long as Seller continues to exercise such reasonable efforts Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(d) unless such breach is not cured within such fifteen (15) day period (but no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured and provided, however, that the cure period shall not act to extend the Termination Date);

(e) by Seller if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Purchaser and as a result of such breach the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a) would not then be satisfied; provided, however, that if such breach is curable by Purchaser within fifteen (15) days through the exercise of its reasonable efforts, then for so long as Purchaser continues to exercise such reasonable efforts Seller may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(e) unless such breach is not cured within such fifteen (15) day period (but no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured and provided, however, that the cure period shall not act to extend the Termination Date);

(f) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser.

SECTION 10.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of either party hereto except (a) as set forth in Sections 5.3, 10.2(b) and 11.1 and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve either party from liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the date of termination.

SECTION 10.3. Waiver. Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any

waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.5. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 11.6. Entire Agreement.

1.3. Return. In the event that any goods delivered hereunder are incomplete or contain visibly broken or otherwise damaged units, and such incompleteness or damage is clearly visible without opening the product packaging as received by Purchaser (a “Visible Defect”), Purchaser may within 30 days after receipt reject such goods in writing, receive a return material authorization number from Seller, and then return such goods to Seller, at Seller’s expense, for a full refund or replacement, at Purchaser’s option.

2. ORDERING PROCEDURE

2.1. Forecasts. In each calendar month during the term of this Agreement, Purchaser will submit a non-binding rolling forecast for ASICs that Purchaser will require for the next 6 months.

2.2. Purchase Orders. All purchases of ASICs under this Agreement will be initiated by an authorized Purchaser purchase order. This Agreement does not constitute a purchase order and nothing contained herein obligates Purchaser to purchase any ASICs. Purchase orders shall state ASICs unit quantities, requested delivery dates, shipping instructions and the price (as specified in Exhibit A) for each product ordered. Additional reasonable instructions located in the front of the Purchaser purchase order not inconsistent with this Agreement shall govern any particular purchases hereunder unless rejected in writing by Seller at the time Seller receives the purchase order.

2.3. Acknowledgment. Seller shall accept all ASICs purchase orders submitted by Purchaser within forecasts. Seller shall deliver a written acknowledgment of the purchase order in the form of a confirmation of sales report within 3 business days after receipt of the purchase order. Seller’s failure to deliver such an acknowledgment shall be deemed an acceptance of the purchase order.

2.4. Cancellation and Rescheduling. Purchaser may cancel or reschedule purchase order(s) or any portions thereof for any reason by notifying Seller in writing 20 days prior to the scheduled delivery date on the purchase order(s). Cancellation shall be effective upon Seller’s receipt of the written cancellation notice from Purchaser. Seller shall cease working on canceled purchase order(s) in accordance with the cancellation notice.

2.5. Delivery. All products delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be suitably packed for shipment, identified by purchase order number, and marked for shipment as specified in Purchaser’s purchase order and as acknowledged by Seller pursuant to Section 2.3.

Purchaser shall be entitled to designate third party assembly facilities as its delivery destinations. Title to and all risk of loss or damage with respect to the products shall pass to Purchaser upon their delivery by Seller at the FOB point.

2.6. Effect of Depletion of Inventory. Seller has a certain quantity of ASICs in its current inventory. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Purchaser of any disposition of the entire remaining amount of such inventory at least 60 days prior to such disposition. Seller has the ASICs made for Seller by an Affiliate of Samsung Semiconductor. Seller will use its commer-cially reasonable efforts to notify Purchaser of its knowledge of the termination of Seller’s relation-ship with such Affiliate of Samsung Semiconductor, or other situation which would preclude Seller from obtaining the ASICs from such Affiliate of Samsung Semiconductor. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, after Seller has depleted its current inventory of ASICs, the terms of this Agreement shall no longer apply to sales from Seller to Purchaser of ASICs. However, after such depletion of inventory, at the discretion of Purchaser, Seller shall either (a) use Seller’s com-mercially reasonable efforts to enable Purchaser to order ASICs from Samsung; or (b) sell ASICs to Purchaser under the terms under which Seller obtains such ASICS from Samsung. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller’s supply relationship with such Affiliates of Samsung Semiconductor has terminated for any reason, Seller shall have no obligation hereunder to sell ASICs to Purchaser once Seller has depleted its existing inventory.

3. PRICE AND PAYMENT

3.1. Purchase Price. For the ASICs ordered hereunder by Purchaser, Seller shall charge Purchaser the pricing set forth in Exhibit A.

3.2. Payment. As provided in this paragraph, Purchaser shall pay invoices received for ASICs delivered to Purchaser within 30 days after receipt of invoice. Payment shall be in United States dollars. Seller may submit invoices not earlier than the date that Seller supplies the associated products or services to Purchaser.

3.3. Taxes. Prices set forth herein are exclusive of all taxes and customs duties imposed by the United States government, and Purchaser shall pay all taxes and customs duties imposed by the United States government, however designated, levied, or based on amounts payable to Seller hereunder, except for any taxes based upon the aggregate income of Seller.

any taxes based upon the aggregate income of Purchaser. Purchaser may withhold from payments to Seller such taxes as are required to be withheld under United States laws. If any tax is withheld by Purchaser, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

4.1. Term. This Agreement shall be in effect for an initial term of 3 years from the Effective Date (“Initial Term”) unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 4.2.

5.3 Notices. Any notice required or permitted under the terms of this Agreement or required by law must be in writing and must be: (a) delivered in person; (b) sent by first class registered mail, or air mail, as appropriate; or (c) sent by overnight courier, in each case properly posted and fully prepaid to the appropriate address set forth in the preamble to this Agreement.

Main Concept

TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Trademark License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the day of July , 2003 (“Effective Date”) by and between SCM MICROSYSTEMS, INC. (“Licensee”), a Delaware corporation located at 466 Kato Terrace, Fremont, California 94539, and PINNACLE SYSTEMS, INC. (“Licensor”), a California corporation located at 280 North Bernardo Avenue, Mountain View, California 94043.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement between Licensor and Licensee dated June , 2003 (the “APA”), Licensor has acquired from Licensee the marks listed on Exhibit A (the “Licensed Marks”); and

WHEREAS, Licensor wishes to grant to Licensee a license to use the Licensed Marks in connection with Media Reader Products (as defined in the APA) on the terms and conditions described in this Agreement;

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and obligations contained herein, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the parties, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant and Scope of License

1.1 Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee hereby accepts, an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid license, without the right to grant sublicenses except as set forth in Section 1.3 hereof, to use and display the Licensed Marks, solely for the uses set forth below (“Licensed Uses”):

(a) on Media Reader Products or derivatives thereof (collectively, “Licensed Products”), and

(b) in connection with the advertising, marketing, sale and distribution of Licensed Products (collectively, “Promotional Materials”).

1.2 Limited Purpose. Licensee shall not use the Licensed Marks in connection with any activities other than the Licensed Uses, including without limitation use of the Licensed Marks in connection with the Restricted Business (as defined in the APA). Licensee shall not bundle Licensed Products bearing the Licensed Marks with Video Products or audio products or permit the sale of such Licensed Products with Video Products or audio products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the Licensed Products when sold on a stand-alone basis, are not “audio products.”

1.3 Sublicenses. Licensee may grant sublicenses to any of its Affiliates (as defined in the APA) and to any Media Reader Business Successor under the license granted in Section 1.1 hereof; provided, that (i) Licensee enters into a written sublicense agreement with any such sublicensee, and (ii) such agreement does not include the right to grant further sublicenses. Licensee shall provide copies of such written sublicense agreements to the Licensor upon request. If Licensee grants any sublicense rights pursuant to this Section 1.3 to an Affiliate and any such Affiliate thereafter ceases to be an Affiliate, then the sublicense granted to such Affiliate pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall terminate immediately upon the date of such cessation. For the purposes hereof, “Media Reader Business Successor” shall mean a purchaser of a majority of the consumer/retail portion of the Media Reader Business. If the license has been sublicensed to a Media Reader Business Successor, Licensee shall have no rights to the Licensed Marks.

2. Form of Use

2.1 Form. Licensee shall use the Licensed Marks in a manner substantially consistent with the manner in which Licensee used the Licensed Marks prior to the Closing or in forms otherwise approved in writing by Licensor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Licensee shall include where appropriate the designations ^® or ^™ and a statement that the Licensed Marks are used under license from Licensor, and other proprietary notices as reasonably required by Licensor from time to time. Licensee shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to the proper use and designation of trademarks in each country in which Licensee uses the Licensed Marks. Furthermore:

(a) During the first 12 months of the Term, Licensee may use the Licensed Marks without other marks for the Licensed Uses.

(b) Following the first 12 months of the Term, Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks must be in combination with other words, logos or symbols to form a composite mark comprised of the Licensed Marks and such other words, logos or symbols (“Composite Mark”) to distinguish such Composite Mark from the Licensed Marks standing alone.

2.2 Samples. Licensee shall make available to Licensor, for its approval, samples of any uses of the Licensed Marks on Licensed Product and on Promotional Materials that deviate in any material respect from the uses made of the Licensed Marks by Licensee prior to the Closing. Licensor shall have the right to make reasonable objections to any such sample on the grounds that Licensor believes that the use of such materials by Licensee will be damaging to or dilutive of the value of, or reputation associated with, the Licensed Marks. Licensor shall exercise its approval rights in good faith and shall not unreasonably withhold or delay any such approval. Any request for modification of a submission shall include an appropriate explanation.

3. Quality Control and Use of Licensed Marks

3.1 Quality Standards. The nature and quality of all Licensed Products bearing any of the Licensed Marks must conform to or exceed the level of quality historically associated with the Licensed Products with which the Licensed Marks were used by Licensee prior to Closing, and must conform to any additional specific standards reasonably adopted by Licensor from time to

time that are not inconsistent with the standards to which Licensee adhered in connection with its use of the Licensed Marks prior to the Closing.

3.2 Quality Control. Licensor shall have the right to monitor the quality of the Licensed Products provided by Licensee, and Licensee shall assist Licensor in monitoring quality by providing to Licensor samples of Licensed Products and reasonable access to its premises at reasonable hours to inspect the quality of the Licensed Products as and to the extent necessary for Licensor to confirm that Licensee is adhering to the quality control standards imposed hereunder. Licensee shall undertake such other steps as Licensor may reasonably request to assist Licensor in monitoring the quality of the Licensed Products provided by Licensee under the Licensed Marks. Licensor has the right to take all action that it reasonably deems necessary to ensure that Licensee’s activities under and uses of the Licensed Marks are consistent with the reputation for quality and prestige of products bearing the Licensed Marks, as reflected by the Licensed Products with which the Licensed Marks were used by Licensee prior to the Closing.

3.3 Compliance with Law. Licensee shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations and obtain all appropriate government approvals pertaining to its use of the Licensed Marks, and its sale, distribution and advertising of the Licensed Products under the Licensed Marks.

3.4 No Mutilation of Licensed Marks. Unless Licensee obtains Licensor’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Licensee shall not use any of the Licensed Marks in a form different from those used by the Licensee prior to the Closing in connection with the Licensed Products.

3.5 No Disparagement of Licensor or Licensed Marks. Licensee shall not use any of the Licensed Marks in connection with any activity that disparages Licensor or its products or services, or that damages the reputation for quality inherent in the Licensed Marks.

4. Hypertext Link

Licensor agrees to include a prominent hypertext link on the home page of its website that will take visitors to the home page of the website of the owner of the Media Reader Business, provided that Licensor will not be required to include such link if such owner is engaged in the Restricted Business.

5. Ownership

5.1 Ownership of Licensed Marks. Licensee acknowledges that it has no interest in the Licensed Marks other than the license granted under this Agreement and that Licensor will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in the Licensed Marks. Licensee agrees that Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks and any goodwill in the marks resulting from Licensee’s use will inure solely to the benefit of Licensor and will not create any right, title or interest for Licensee in the Licensed Marks. If Licensee uses, registers or applies to register any mark in violation of its obligations under this Agreement, Licensee agrees, at Licensor’s request, immediately to cease the use of that mark and to assign to Licensor all its rights in that mark, including any application or registration for that mark.

5.2 No Contest. Licensee shall not contest, oppose or challenge Licensor’s ownership of the Licensed Marks. Licensee agrees that it will not knowingly take any action that reasonably would be expected to impair Licensor’s ownership or rights in the Licensed Marks. In particular, Licensee shall not register or attempt to register the Licensed Marks in any jurisdiction and will not oppose Licensor’s registration or use of the Licensed Marks, alone or with other words or designs, in any jurisdiction.

5.3 Enforcement Actions by Licensor Generally. Licensor shall have the right to bring any action on account of any such infringements, and Licensee shall cooperate reasonably with Licensor, as Licensor may reasonably request, in connection with any such action brought by Licensor. All such actions shall be at the expense of Licensor. Nothing herein, however, shall be deemed to require Licensor to enforce the Licensed Marks against others. If such infringements relate substantially to the marketing, distribution or sale of Licensed Products and reasonably could be expected to adversely affect the exercise by Licensee of the license granted by Licensor to Licensee hereunder, Licensor will use reasonable efforts to give Licensee written notice of such infringements. Any recoveries obtained by Licensor in or as result of such action, including through any settlement, shall be applied, first, in payment of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Licensor in connection with such action, and, second, shall be shared between Licensor and Licensee based on the amount of damages attributable to infringement of the Licensed Marks in connection with the marketing, distribution or sale of Licensed Products, as compared to the relative amount of damages attributable to infringement of the Licensed Marks in connection with any and all other uses of the Licensed Marks. In the event that the parties are unable to mutually agree upon an apportionment of the damages and such apportionment is not otherwise determined pursuant to any adjudication or settlement in connection with any recovery under this Section 5.3, then Licensor and Licensee agree that they shall submit to binding arbitration to resolve the issues pursuant to the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

5.4 Enforcement Actions by or at the Request of Licensee. If Licensee learns of any infringement of any of the Licensed Marks in connection with the marketing, distribution or sale of Licensed Products as to which it desires to take further action, it may notify the Licensor of such infringement. Within a reasonable time thereafter, Licensor, at Licensor’s expense, shall take such action as it in its reasonable discretion deems advisable for the protection of the rights in and to such Licensed Marks or advise Licensee that Licensor shall not take such action. If Licensor takes such action, it shall control such action in all respects, but it shall keep Licensee apprised of developments in respect of and the status of such action and also shall consult with Licensee with respect to the settlement thereof and, if such settlement would adversely affect the rights of Licensee hereunder, such settlement shall be subject to the approval of Licensee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any recoveries obtained by Licensor in or as result of such action, including through any settlement, shall be applied, first, in payment of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Licensor in connection with such action, and, second, shall be shared between Licensor and Licensee based on the relative amount of damages attributable to infringement of the Licensed Marks in connection with the marketing, distribution or sale of Licensed Products, which amounts shall be paid to Licensee, as compared to the relative amount of damages attributable to infringement of the Licensed Marks in connection with any and all other uses of the Licensed Marks or other rights in and to the Licensed Marks held by Licensor, which amounts shall be paid to Licensor. In the event the parties are unable to mutually agree upon an apportionment of the damages and such

apportionment is not otherwise determined pursuant to any adjudication or settlement in connection with any recovery under this Section 5.4, then Licensor and Licensee agree that they shall submit to binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Licensor shall not be required to take action in any particular circumstance if it deems it inadvisable to do so. If the accused infringer’s use is in connection with the marketing or distribution of Licensed Products, and Licensor (i) has not demanded, within 30 days after the receipt of notice of the infringement from Licensee that the accused infringer cease infringement and (ii) has not filed an action with respect to such infringement within 60 days after the receipt of such notice or otherwise is not actively seeking to resolve the situation at that time or thereafter, Licensee may take any action with respect to such infringement at its own discretion, provided that Licensee has not been provided with a copy of an opinion of Licensor’s counsel that pursuing such action would have a material adverse effect on any of the Licensed Marks and the likelihood of such effect is more than minimal as a result of identified facts or circumstances. The costs of such action brought by Licensee shall be borne by Licensee. Any recoveries obtained by Licensor in or as result of such action, including through any settlement, shall be applied, first, in payment of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Licensee in connection with such action, and, second, shall be shared between Licensor and Licensee in accordance with an apportionment of damages awarded or amounts received based on relative apportionment of the total amount of such recovery based on the relative amount of damages attributable to infringement of the Licensed Marks in connection with the marketing, distribution or sale of Licensed Products, which amounts shall be paid to Licensee, as compared to the relative amount of damages attributable to infringement of the Licensed Marks in connection with any and all other uses of the Licensed Marks or other rights in and to the Licensed Marks held by Licensor, which amounts shall be paid to Licensor. In the event the parties are unable to mutually agree upon an apportionment of the damages and such apportionment is not otherwise determined pursuant to any adjudication or settlement in connection with any recovery under this Section 5.4, then Licensor and Licensee agree that they shall submit to binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association for the sole purpose of determining the amount of any apportionment. Licensor retains the right to intervene in any such action brought by Licensee hereunder, in which event, Licensor shall pay half the costs of such action, but such intervention by Licensor shall not affect the allocation of any recoveries obtained in connection therewith. Although Licensee shall have day-to-day control over any such action taken by Licensee, Licensee shall consult with Licensor concerning developments in respect of and the status of any such action and no settlement thereof may be made without the approval of Licensor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In any action taken by Licensor or Licensee contemplated by this 5.4, Licensor and Licensee shall cooperate fully with each other in connection therewith, including without limitation by joining as plaintiff or co-plaintiff in lawsuits and by causing its officers to execute pleadings and other related documents and to give testimony and otherwise as appropriate or reasonably requested.

5.5 Assistance. Licensee shall reasonably assist Licensor, at Licensor’s cost and upon Licensor’s reasonable request, in complying with any formalities to protect the Licensed Marks under U.S. or foreign law, such as registering the Licensed Marks, registering this Agreement or recording Licensee as a registered user. Licensee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by Licensor, including, but not limited to, applications for recordation of Licensee as a registered user and additional licenses for recording with the appropriate authorities. Upon termination or

expiration of this Agreement, Licensee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by Licensor to effect cancellation of any recordations made under this Section.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties and Indemnification.

6.1 No Warranties. LICENSOR LICENSES THE LICENSED MARKS TO LICENSEE ON AN “AS IS” BASIS. LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED MARKS, INCLUDING THE VALIDITY OF LICENSOR’S RIGHTS IN THE LICENSED MARKS IN ANY COUNTRY OR JURISDICTION, AND DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGMENT.

6.2 Indemnification. Upon Licensor’s request, Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold Licensor harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and settlement amounts (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with any claims regarding quality, performance, safety or conformance or lack of conformance with the quality standards described in Section 3, or arising out of Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks in breach of this Agreement, excluding any claim by a third party asserting that any use of the Licensed Marks by Licensee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement infringes a trademark of such third party (“Indemnified Claim”). Licensor agrees to give Licensee timely written notice of the Indemnified Claim, so as not to prejudice its settlement or defense, and sole control over and reasonable assistance with its settlement and defense, at Licensee’s expense.

7. Term and Termination

7.2 Termination by Licensor.

persons or their affiliates or Media Reader Business Successor is engaged in the sale of any Video Products or audio products.

7.3 Automatic Termination.

(a) In the event that Licensee dissolves or liquidates or ceases to engage in its business, files a petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated a bankrupt or files a petition or otherwise seeks relief under or pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute or proceeding, or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed against it and is not discharged within 60 days thereafter or if Licensee makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or if a custodian, receiver or trustee is appointed for it or for a substantial portion of its business or assets and such appointment is not discharged within 60 days thereafter, then this Agreement will terminate automatically.

(b) In the event Licensee ceases to use the Licensed Marks with an intent not to resume, the licenses granted under this Agreement will terminate automatically.

Subject to the foregoing and except as necessary to sell inventory following termination of this Agreement as permitted in the immediately preceding sentence, in the event of such termination, Licensee shall promptly destroy or return to Licensee, at Licensee’s expense, all advertising and promotional materials, stationery and other materials that bear the Licensed Marks.

7.5 Survival. The provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7.4, 7.5 and 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement regardless of the reason for termination.

8. Miscellaneous

8.1 Assignment/Binding Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any rights under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred by Licensee, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, including by way of sale of assets or equity, merger or consolidation, without the prior written consent of Licensor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may assign this Agreement to a purchaser of all or a majority of the tangible assets of Licensee’s Media Reader Products business (whether by stock purchase, asset purchase or merger), upon written notice to Licensor if such purchaser is not then engaged in the sale of Video Products or audio products. Licensor expressly reserves its unilateral right to assign or transfer its interest in this Agreement to any purchaser of the Licensed Marks. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

2.4 No breach of this Agreement will entitle SCM to terminate or rescind the license granted in Section 2.1 or entitle SCM to injunctive or other equitable relief to terminate such licenses, it being agreed that SCM’s sole remedy, if any, in the event of such a breach will be an action for damages.

2.5 If neither SCM nor any of its Subsidiaries has the right to grant a license under any particular Licensed Patent of the scope set forth in Section 2, then the license granted herein under said Licensed Patent shall be the broadest scope SCM or any of its Subsidiaries has the right to grant.

2.6 The license granted herein includes the right of Pinnacle to grant sublicenses under the Licensed Patents to Subsidiaries. No sublicense shall be broader in any respect at any time during the life of this Agreement than the license held at that time by the party that granted the sublicense. A sublicense granted to a Subsidiary of Pinnacle hereunder will terminate on the date such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of Pinnacle. If a Subsidiary of SCM ceases to be a Subsidiary and holds any patents included in the Licensed Patents, such license to the Pinnacle shall continue for the term of such license. Pinnacle also shall have the right to sublicense to the Licensed Intellectual Property (other than the Licensed Patents) to third parties that have been engaged by Pinnacle in connection with the manufacture, assembly or support of Licensed Products, provided such sublicenses are made under terms and conditions that preserve SCM’s proprietary and intellectual property rights in and to the Copyrights. Pinnacle agrees to reproduce any SCM copyright notice or other proprietary notices or legends that appear on or in any SCM Copyrights licensed hereunder. Pinnacle also agrees to treat SCM’s Trade Secrets licensed hereunder with at least the same degree of care and protection that it uses with respect to its own most valuable confidential information and Trade Secrets, and in no event less than reasonable care. Pinnacle may disclose SCM’s Trade Secrets licensed hereunder to third parties that have been engaged by Pinnacle in connection with the manufacture, assembly or support of Licensed Products; provide that such disclosure shall be made under terms and provisions of a written confidentiality agreement that protect the confidentiality of the disclosed information and are at least as restrictive as those that Pinnacle uses for its own confidential information of a similar nature.

2.7 Delivery. SCM shall deliver promptly after the Closing, all materials required to enable Pinnacle to exercise fully the rights granted under this Agreement.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties

3.1 SCM represents and warrants that it has the right to grant the license granted in Section 2.

3.2 Except as set forth in this Section 3, all Licensed Intellectual Property is licensed by SCM hereunder on an “AS IS” basis without warranty of any kind.

3.3 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 3, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN RESPECT OF ANY INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, MASKWORKS, TRADEMARKS OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF TRADE SECRETS OR OTHER RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES DUE TO THE OTHER PARTY’S OPERATION UNDER THE LICENSE HEREIN GRANTED.

Section 4. Term of Agreement

The term of the licenses granted under this Agreement shall commence on the Closing Date (as defined in the APA) and terminate (a) with respect to Licensed Patents, on the date of expiration of the last to expire Licensed Patent, and (b) with respect to Licensed Intellectual Property other than Licensed Patents on the date the last of such Licensed Intellectual Property enters into the public domain.

Section 5. Miscellaneous

5.1 Assignment/Binding Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any rights under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred by Pinnacle without the prior written consent of SCM, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. However, Pinnacle may assign this Agreement in connection with its merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or equity. SCM expressly reserves its unilateral right to assign or transfer its interest in this Agreement to any purchaser of the Licensed Intellectual Property. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
