AGREEMENT
ARTICLE I
STRUCTURE OF VENDING BUSINESS

        1.01  DPI.

              (a)  Formation. Prior to Closing (as defined below), the parties will cause a corporation to be organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and named DigitalPortal Inc. (“DPI”). Each of PMI and SanDisk will hold 50% of the initially outstanding shares of common stock of DPI.

              (b)  Capitalization. Each of PMI and SanDisk will contribute to DPI a total of $4,000,000 to be dispersed as set forth in Article III. The capitalization of DPI shall consist of 87,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Each of PMI and SanDisk will be issued 40,000,000 shares of common stock. *.

              (c)  Governance.

              (1)  DPI will be governed by a Board of Directors consisting of four directors (the “Board”). The Board shall have responsibility for the general supervision, direction and control of the business of DPI and shall have all the powers and duties typically vested in a board of directors of a corporation, as set forth in the Bylaws of DPI, attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Bylaws shall provide that the Board shall meet at least once each quarter, that at least one meeting per year shall be held in Grenoble, France and that at least one meeting per year shall be held in Sunnyvale, California. DPI shall provide at its expense audited financial statements for each year ended April 30 and unaudited financial statements for each six month period ended October 31 to PMI.

              (2)  The Bylaws of DPI shall provide that except as required by applicable law, all actions or decisions of the Board shall require the vote of a majority of Directors and shall provide that DPI may not take certain actions, as set forth in this Agreement, without the express written approval of a director appointed by each of SanDisk and PMI (the “Approval Agents”).

              (3)  Effective as of Closing, the parties shall enter into a Stockholders Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit C, which shall provide among other things: (A) for annual election of two directors designated by SanDisk and two directors designated by PMI; (B) for annual election of a Chairman, who shall be designated by SanDisk in even years and designated by PMI in odd years; and (C) that DPI shall declare an annual dividend to the stockholders of DPI on a pro rata basis consisting of all net profits less allocations to research, development, reserves and other items approved by the Board and the Approval Agents.

              (d)  Business of DPI. DPI will operate a Vending Business for the Product in the Exclusive Territory (as defined in Section 6.03 hereof). DPI shall not engage in any other type of business without the consent of the Board.

              (e)  Development of a Business Plan. DPI shall operate the Vending Business in accordance with the business plan attached hereto as Exhibit D (“Business Plan”) or as amended by the Board from time to time in accordance with the Bylaws. The Business Plan shall be a base plan setting forth, among other things, the capital expenditures, projected revenues, supply costs, profit margins, kiosk deployment and overhead for DPI fiscal years 2001 through 2002. DPI shall revise the Business Plan at least annually for each subsequent fiscal year not later than November 15 of the prior fiscal year. In the event DPI fails to revise the Business Plan for any fiscal year, the last Business Plan approved by the Board of DPI, or the Business Plan set forth in Exhibit D, as the case may be, shall be the operative Business Plan until the Board of DPI approves a re vised Business Plan.

              (f)  Failure to Agree on a Business Plan. If the Board shall fail to agree on a Business Plan for the subsequent fiscal year by December 15 of the prior fiscal year, the parties shall follow the dispute resolution, buy-sell and liquidation provisions contained in Section 9 of the Stockholders Agreement.

              (g)  Additional Investors. The parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to consider inviting a strategic investor to participate as an approximately ten percent (10%) shareholder of DPI, where such strategic investor will have such rights and obligations as the parties may mutually agree in written amendments to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

              (i)  Other Entities. From time to time, the Board may elect to create subsidiaries or operating divisions for purposes of organizing aspects of the Vending Business.

        1.02  Product and Flash Memory Cards.

              (a)  Product Purchases. DPI or a third party in a leasing transaction with DPI (“Lessor”) will purchase units of Product exclusively from PMI, and PMI will supply such Product through one of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, KIS, S.A., located in Grenoble, France. At its option, DPI may contract with a third party to purchase Product from PMI and lease Product to DPI pursuant to sale-leaseback transactions or may pursue other vehicles for financing or purchase of the Product. For purposes of this Agreement, references to purchase by DPI shall be deemed to include purchase by any such third party. All Product purchased by DPI or Lessor from PMI shall be designed and manufactured in compliance with the specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A or as amended in writing by agreement of the parties. The Product will be customized according to DPI&# 146;s reasonable requirements, which will not include any customer-specific customization. For the period beginning on the date hereof and ending upon the closing of any initial public offering of DPI common stock, PMI and SanDisk shall each provide several, but not joint, guaranties of the financing of the purchase or lease of units of Product equal to their respective percentage equity ownership of DPI, if such guaranties are required by third parties from which DPI will obtain such financing, provided however, that SanDisk and PMI will use best efforts to structure such guaranties in a manner which allows SanDisk and PMI to be released from such obligations upon closing of an IPO. Subsequent to the closing of the contemplated initial public offering of DPI common stock, PMI and SanDisk may, if agreed to by PMI and SanDisk, each provide several, but not joint, guaranties of the financing of the purchase or lease of units of Product equal to their respective percentage equity ownership of DPI, if such guara nties are required by third parties from which DPI will obtain such financing.

              (b)  Number/Location of Units. DPI shall place orders specifying delivery of a minimum of 2,000 units of Product for the end of 2001; provided however, that notwithstanding the initial Business Plan, DPI shall not be obligated to purchase more than 2000 units of Product for any one (1) year period through the end of 2002. DPI shall place orders specifying delivery of a minimum of 2,000 units of the Product per year for the duration of this Agreement starting in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2000 with a non-binding target of placing orders for delivery of between * and * units by December 31, 2001. DPI’s obligations to order units of Product shall be terminated in the event that Section 9 of the Stockholders’ Agreement (Exhibit C) is invoked by PMI, SanDisk or DPI. The invocation of Section 9 of the Stockholders’ Agreement shall not r elieve DPI or PMI of obligations incurred prior thereto, including the obligation of PMI to deliver previously ordered units of Product or of DPI to pay for units of Product previously ordered. Units of the Product initially will be sited in high-traffic locations, preferably where there currently is no digital photo printing capability. DPI will determine the site placement for any and all Product.

              (c)  Terms. DPI will purchase exclusively from PMI each unit of Product at the price ex works (as such term is defined in Incoterms ICC Edition 2000), Grenoble, France, not to exceed US $20,000 per unit * for the initial * units. Such prices do not include site-specific or customer-specific customization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if PMI shall sell any units of product substantially similar to the Product to other parties at *. The unit price is based upon an exchange rate of * (the “Base Rate”). SanDisk and PMI agree to review at the end of each calendar quarter, the exchange rates between the Euro and the US dollar, as set forth in the New York Foreign Exchange mid-range rates (Currency per US Dollars) table published in the Wall Street Journal, Western Edition) (such rates, the “Exchange Rates”) for each of the preceding 90 days (such period, the “Ex change Rate Period”). In the event that the average of the Exchange Rates during the Exchange Rate Period (such average, the “Average Exchange Rate”) differs from the Base Rate by more or less than * percent (but not more or less than * percent), then the unit price as reflected on invoices issued during the following calendar quarter shall be adjusted accordingly. DPI shall purchase the Products exclusively from PMI according to terms to be set forth in the “Exclusive Product Purchase Agreement” attached hereto as Exhibit E.

              (d)  Development of Enhanced Feature Kiosks. PMI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and make available for purchase to DPI multiple terminal kiosks, and kiosks featuring a mechanism for storing photographic prints for subsequent retrieval, within the first two (2) years of the term of this Agreement.

              (e)  Flash Memory Cards. The parties agree to discuss in good faith whether, and upon what terms, DPI may obtain from SanDisk the flash memory cards which incorporate FMS Technology and which may be dispensed in the Product. SanDisk shall be the exclusive source for any such cards.

        1.03  Maintenance. Unless and until DPI obtains more competitive pricing, terms, response time, or quality of service for such services or determines to form its own maintenance organization (which it may do so at its own discretion), PMI, through its US subsidiary, Photo-Me USA, LLC, will provide for the support, maintenance and operation of the Product, including cleaning, data input, data collection and all other services required to ensure the on-going maintenance and operation of the Product according to terms set forth in the “Maintenance Agreement” attached hereto as Exhibit F.

PMI shall remain fully entitled, at all times without limitation, to freely make, use, sell, lease and operate the Product in any country or territory other than the Exclusive Territory; provided that in the event that PMI de sires to, or desires to enter into a relationship with another entity to, sell, manufacture, license, or operate the Product, or any other device or service similar to the Product, in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and the countries within the Pacific Rim (“Opportunity”), PMI shall first offer the Opportunity to DPI on the following terms:

              (iii)  PMI’s Rejection. If PMI has not elected in writing to undertake the European Opportunity by the end of the SanDisk Election Period, SanDisk will be free to undertake the European Opportunity in the specified country in the European Union.

        (b)  Other Opportunities. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (a) above, PMI shall invite SanDisk to invest in, purchase or otherwise acquire an amount of shares equal to the number of shares of any investment opportunity offered to PMI in any internet-related investment which pertains to the Vending Business, upon terms (including price) substantially similar to PMI’s purchase price for its equity investment, including cash and non-cash contributions as adjusted for any taxes payable by PMI on such purchase and sale.
