ASSIGNMENT OF TECHNOLOGY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 2.1 ASSIGNMENT 2.1.1 Seller hereby irrevocably sells, assigns and transfers all right, title and interest worldwide and in perpetuity in and to the Transferred Assets exclusively to Purchaser, free and clear of any liens, Claims, security interests, encumbrances or restrictions of any nature. If Seller has any rights in or to the Technology that cannot be assigned to Purchaser as a matter of law, Seller hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of all such rights, and all Claims of any kind with respect to any of the foregoing against Purchaser, its successors, and assigns and licensees and customers of the foregoing, whether now known or hereafter to become known. 2.1.2 Purchaser shall not assume any liabilities or obligations of Seller (whether or not related to the Transferred Assets). 2.1.3 Seller shall have no rights in the Transferred Assets after the Effective Date and Seller's receipt of full payment in accordance with Section 4. 1 2.2 DELIVERY.

If Purchaser notifies Seller within ten (10) calendar days after the date of the electronic transfer that any of the files to be transferred have not be received by Purchaser or were corrupted, altered, or destroyed in the course of such transfer, then the electronic transfer of such files from Seller to Purchaser will be repeated until either the transfer is successful or Purchaser instructs Seller to deliver such files to Purchaser on tangible media (in which case Seller shall promptly deliver such files to Purchaser on tangible media as instructed by Purchaser).

The power of attorney referred to in the preceding sentence is and shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and shall survive the dissolution or insolvency of Seller.

Purchaser shall give Seller prompt notice after it becomes aware of the commencement of any such Proceeding against Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, any failure on the part of Purchaser to so notify Seller shall not limit any of the obligations of Seller, or any of the rights of any Indemnitee, under this Section 6 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding).

At the request of Network-1, a certified public accountant or other individual chosen by Network-1 may, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, but no more often than once each year, inspect the records of FalconStor on which such reports are based. Any information revealed in such inspections shall be confidential and not disclosed to anyone, except to the extent necessary to identify to Network-1, FalconStor or any fact finder in any action instituted to enforce the terms of this Agreement, any inaccuracy which may be found in the amount of Royalties due to Network-1 or except as otherwise provided by law. The cost of such audit, including all fees and expenses incurred shall be paid by Network-1, unless the inspection uncovers an underpayment for the evaluation period in question in excess of 5% of the amount actually paid or credited by FalconStor during the period of the audit, in which case the fees and expenses of the certified public accountant shall be paid by FalconStor. (e) All taxes on all sales and/or licenses made or entered into FalconStor are the sole responsibility of FalconStor. 8. Use of Network-1 Trademarks. ---------------------------- (a) Authorized Uses.

FalconStor shall not take any action that could be detrimental to the goodwill associated with the Network-1 Trademarks or with Network-1. FalconStor shall, during the term of this Agreement and after termination hereof, execute such documents as Network-1 may request from time to time to ensure that all right, title and interest in and to the Network-1 Trademarks reside with Network-1.

Disclaimer. ----------- EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES STATED IN SECTION 11 HEREIN, NETWORK-1 DISCLAIM(S) ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED PRODUCT FURNISHED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 13. Indemnification. ---------------- (a) By Network-1. Network-1 agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend FalconStor, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, agents, and representatives from any claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit) to the extent they arise out of (i) a material breach by Network-1 of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (ii) a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11 hereof and (iii) any claims of infringement of any U.S. copyright, patent or trade secret or other proprietary rights, arising from the Licensed Product and any modification, enhancement or misuse of the Licensed Product by Network-1. If Network-1 receives notice of an alleged infringement of any of its rights in or to the Licensed Products, Network-1 shall use its best efforts, subject to commercial reasonableness, to either obtain the right to continue use of the Licensed Product, or to modify the Licensed Product so that it is no longer infringing. (b) By FalconStor. FalconStor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Network-1, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, agents, and representatives from any claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit) to the extent they arise out of: (i) a material breach by FalconStor of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) any claim of infringement of any U. S. copyright, patent or trade secret or other proprietary rights relating to the FalconStor Products excluding any such claim relating to the Licensed Product. (c) Indemnification Conditions. Promptly after receipt by Network-1 or FalconStor of notice of any claim that may affect the Licensed Product or the commencement of any action, proceeding, or investigation in respect of which indemnity or reimbursement may be sought as provided above, such party (the "Indemnitee") shall notify the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the "Indemnitor"), but the failure of such Indemnitee to notify the Indemnitor with respect to a particular action, proceeding or investigation shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation or liability (i) which it may have pursuant to this Agreement if the Indemnitor is not substantially prejudiced by the failure to notify or (ii) which it may have otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume the defense of the Indemnitee with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee will cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense of any action, proceeding or investigation for which the Indemnitor assumes the defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action, proceeding, or investigation and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the Indemnitor has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnitor shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such action, proceeding or investigation and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee there may be one or more defenses available to the Indemnitee which are not available to the Indemnitor with respect to such action, claim, or proceeding, in which case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, proceeding or investigation on behalf of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor shall not be liable for the settlement by the Indemnitee of any action, proceeding or investigation effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement in any action, suit or proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party, unless such settlement includes a general release of the Indemnitee with no payment by the Indemnitee of consideration. 14. Term and Termination. --------------------- (a) Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement shall be ten (10) years from the Effective Date set forth above, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 14(b) below. (b) Termination. FalconStor may terminate this Agreement effective at the end of any calendar year beginning with the year ended December 31, 2002 by giving Network-1 at least 60 days prior written notice. (c) Termination Upon Breach. Each party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement provided (i) such party provides sixty (60) days prior notice to the other party; (ii) the other party is in a material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) the prior breach is not cured within such sixty (60) day period. Any such notice shall provide, in reasonable detail, a description of the alleged breach and the requested cure of that breach. (d) Effect of Termination. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14, FalconStor shall have the right, for a period of 180 days, to distribute its existing inventory of the Licensed Product pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Any such termination shall not affect the rights of any end user that has purchased the Licensed Product from FalconStor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to its termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, FalconStor may retain one (1) copy of the object code for the Licensed Product solely for the purpose of supporting its existing licensees. (e) Pre-Paid Royalty.

Limitation of Liability. ------------------------ EXCEPT FOR PAYMENTS DUE PURSUANT TO SECTION 7 HEREIN AND THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF SECTION 13 HEREOF, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY (OR ITS LICENSORS) BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATED TO THE LICENSED PRODUCT, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 16. General Provisions. ------------------- (a) Export Compliance. The rights and obligations of FalconStor shall be subject to such United States laws and regulations as shall from time to time govern the license and delivery of technology abroad by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. FalconStor agrees that it shall not knowingly, directly or indirectly, export, reexport or transship the Licensed Product or any parts or copies thereof in such manner as to violate such laws and regulations in effect from time to time. To its knowledge, Network-1 is in compliance with all export laws of the United States. (b) Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that any breach of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the grant of the license hereunder, Intellectual Property Rights or Confidential Information will cause the other party irreparable injury for which there are inadequate remedies at law, and that such party will be entitled to seek equitable relief with respect to any such breach in addition to all other remedies provided by this Agreement or available at law. Any action seeking the application of equitable remedies, including a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunctive relief, may be brought in any New York federal or New York state court. The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. FalconStor expressly agrees that the existence of any claims it may have against Network-1, whether or not arising from this Agreement, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Network-1 of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be assigned in whole or in part by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except either party may assign this Agreement without the other's prior written consent to an Affiliated Entity, or in the event of a merger or other reorganization involving such party, or sale of all or substantially all of such party's assets. For purposes hereof, Affiliated Entity shall be defined as an entity controlled by, or under common control with, such party.

Nothing stated in this Agreement shall be construed as constituting FalconStor and Network-1 as partners or as creating the relationship of principal/agent, employer/employee or franchise/franchisee between the parties. (f) Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any action is required in order to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall recover all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith. (g) Further Actions. At any time and from time to time, each party agrees without further consideration, to take such action and to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. (h) Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that or any other provision of this Agreement. (i) Force Majeure. Except for the obligation to make payments as provided herein, nonperformance of either party shall be excused to the extent the performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, governmental acts or orders or restrictions, failure of suppliers, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of and is not caused by the negligence of the nonperforming party. (j) Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are found or deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, they shall be severable from the remainder of the Agreement and shall not cause the invalidity or unenforceability of the Agreement.

Notices to either party shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered when served in person or three business days after being deposited in the United States mail, first-class certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or one business day after being dispatched by a nationally recognized one-day express courier service addressed as follows: To Network-1: Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc. 1601 Trapelo Road Reservoir Place Waltham, MA 02451 Att: Murray P.

EXHIBIT D AMENDED FALCONSTOR AGREEMENT May __, 2003 ReiJane Huai Chief Executive Officer FalconStor Software, Inc. 125 Baylis Road, Suite 140 Melville, New York 11747 Re: Amendment to License and Distribution Agreement ----------------------------------------------- Dear Rei: The purpose of this letter agreement is to amend the terms and provision of the License and Distribution Agreement, dated October 2, 2001, between Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc. ("Network-1") and FalconStor Software, Inc. ("FalconStor") (the "Agreement") pursuant to which FalconStor obtained certain rights with respect to the Licensed Product (as defined under the Agreement). Network-1 and FalconStor hereby agree that the Agreement shall be amended as follows: 1. The definition of "Licensed Product" set forth in paragraph 1(h) of the Agreement is hereby amended to provide as follows: "LICENSED PRODUCT" shall mean version 7.2 of Network-1's CyberwallPLUS security product only, as modified by Network-1 and marketed by FalconStor as IPStorSentry. "Licensed Product" shall not refer to any subsequent versions or revisions of CyberwallPLUS. 2. The Grant of License set forth in paragraph 2(a) is amended to provide as follows: (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Network-1 hereby grants to FalconStor a worldwide, non-exclusive license to: (i) market, distribute, resell, and sublicense the Licensed Product as a separate product, or together with any FalconStor Product, or as an OEM Product in OEM Transactions, under FalconStor trademark(s) or such other trademark(s) as FalconStor may authorize in OEM Transactions, primarily in connection with protecting storage area network servers and clients from IP based attacks ("Storage Purposes"); provided, however, that the limitation for Storage Purposes shall not apply and FalconStor shall have the right to market, distribute and resell up to $500,000 of the Licensed Product for any purpose in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) use the Licensed Product for testing, demonstration, training, promotional and evaluation purposes by its personnel and Resellers; and (iii) reproduce the Licensed Product to give effect to the express terms and provisions hereof. 3. Paragraphs 2(b), 5 and 7 are deleted in their entirety. 4. Paragraph 2(f) is amended to read as follows: "FalconStor may not modify, enhance or otherwise change the Licensed Product." 5. Paragraph 2(l) is amended to provide as follows: The Licensed Product, including, without limitation, all source code shall be placed in escrow by Network-1 on or prior to the date of this Amendment and maintained in accordance with an Escrow Agreement at the sole cost and expense of FalconStor. The form of Escrow Agreement with DSI Technology Services, Inc. is attached hereto as Exhibit A. It is acknowledged and agreed that any release from escrow of the source code for the Licensed Product in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Escrow Agreement does not grant FalconStor any rights to the Licensed Product in addition to those rights expressly granted to FalconStor under this Agreement. It is understood that in the event the source code is released from escrow for purposes of "bug fixes" pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Escrow Agreement, the source code shall be used by FalconStor solely for bug fixes and for no other purpose. 6. FalconStor hereby consents to the assignment of the Agreement as hereby amended by Network-1 to Trend Micro Incorporated ("Trend") in connection with the sale by Network-1 to Trend of its CyberwallPlus technology and all related intellectual property rights (the "Technology Sale"). The Escrow Agreement with DSI Technology Services, Inc. shall be assigned by Network-1 to Trend immediately following consummation of the Technology Sale. 7. Paragraph 11 providing representations and warranties to FalconStor and affiliated parties by Network-1 shall not be assigned to Trend as part of the assignment of the Agreement as provided in paragraph 6 hereof. Accordingly, it is agreed that Trend will have no warranty obligations under paragraph 11 of the Agreement as all such obligations shall remain with Network-1. 8. Paragraph 13(a) providing for indemnification of FalconStor and affiliated parties by Network-1 shall not be assigned to Trend as part of the assignment of the Agreement as provided in paragraph 6 hereof. Accordingly, it is agreed that Trend will have no indemnification obligations under paragraph 13(a) of the Agreement as all such obligations shall remain with Network-1. 9. Trend agrees that it will not terminate the DSI Escrow Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1(a) thereof until October 2, 2011 (the expiration of the Agreement) unless otherwise agreed in writing by FalconStor. In the event that DSI terminates the DSI Escrow Agreement, or at the request of FalconStor, Trend agrees to enter into a replacement escrow agreement with an escrow agent reasonably acceptable to Trend and FalconStor. 10. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this amendment shall govern. 11. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Very truly yours, Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc.

("DSI"), Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc. ("Depositor") and FalconStor Software, Inc. ("Preferred Beneficiary"), who collectively may be referred to in this Agreement as the parties ("Parties"), or individually as a party ("Party"). A. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary have entered or will enter into a license agreement, development agreement, and/or other agreement regarding certain proprietary technology of Depositor (referred to in this Agreement as the "License Agreement"). B. Depositor desires to avoid disclosure of its proprietary technology except under certain limited circumstances. C. The availability of the proprietary technology of Depositor is critical to Preferred Beneficiary in the conduct of its business and, therefore, Preferred Beneficiary needs access to the proprietary technology under certain limited circumstances. D. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary desire to establish an escrow with DSI to provide for the retention, administration and controlled access of the proprietary technology materials of Depositor. E. The parties desire this Agreement to be supplementary to the License Agreement pursuant to 11 United States [Bankruptcy] Code, Section 365(n). ARTICLE 1 -- DEPOSITS 1.1 Obligation to Make Deposit. Upon the signing of this Agreement by the parties, Depositor shall deliver to DSI the proprietary technology and other materials ("Deposit Materials") required to be deposited by the License Agreement or, if the License Agreement does not identify the materials to be deposited with DSI, then such materials will be identified on Exhibit A to this agreement. If Exhibit A is applicable, it is to be prepared and signed by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. DSI shall have no obligation to either party with respect to the preparation, accuracy, execution, signing, delivery or validity of Exhibit A. 1.2 Identification of Tangible Media. Prior to the delivery of the Deposit Materials to DSI, Depositor shall conspicuously label for identification each document, magnetic tape, disk, or other media upon which the Deposit Materials are written or stored. Additionally, Depositor shall complete Exhibit B to this Agreement by listing each such media by the item label description, the type of media and the quantity. Exhibit B shall be signed by Depositor and delivered to DSI with the Deposit Materials. Unless and until Depositor makes the initial deposit with DSI, DSI shall have no obligation with respect to this Agreement, except the obligation to notify the parties regarding the status of the account as required in Section 2.2 below. Page 1 www.dsiescrow.com P03v1 1.3 Acceptance of Deposit. When DSI receives the Deposit Materials and Exhibit B, DSI will conduct a visual deposit inspection. At completion of the deposit inspection, if DSI determines that the labeling of the media matches the item descriptions and quantity on Exhibit B, DSI will date and sign Exhibit B and mail a copy thereof to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. If DSI determines that the labeling does not match the item descriptions or quantity on Exhibit B, DSI will (a) note the discrepancies in writing on Exhibit B; (b) date and sign Exhibit B with the exceptions noted; and (c) mail a copy of Exhibit B to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. DSI's acceptance of the deposit occurs upon the signing of Exhibit B by DSI. Delivery of the signed Exhibit B to Preferred Beneficiary is Preferred Beneficiary's notice that the Deposit Materials have been received and accepted by DSI. OTHER THAN DSI'S INSPECTION OF THE DEPOSIT MATERIALS, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, DSI SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION REGARDING THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, FUNCTIONALITY, PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE DEPOSIT MATERIALS. 1.4 Depositor's Representations. During the term of this Agreement, Depositor represents as follows: a. Depositor lawfully possesses all of the Deposit Materials deposited with DSI; b. With respect to all of the Deposit Materials and any materials provided solely for verification, pursuant to Section 1.5 of the Agreement ("Test Materials") Depositor has the right and authority to grant to DSI and Preferred Beneficiary the rights as provided in this Agreement, provided further that DSI's or its independent contractor's use of any Deposit Materials or Test Materials, pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Agreement, is lawful and does not violate the rights of any third parties; c. As of the effective date of this Agreement, the Deposit Materials are not the subject of any liens or encumbrances, however, any liens or encumbrances made after the execution of this Agreement will not prohibit, limit, or alter the rights and obligations of DSI under this Agreement; d. The Deposit Materials consist of the proprietary technology and other materials identified either in the License Agreement, Exhibit A, or Exhibit B, as the case may be; and e. The Deposit Materials are readable and useable in their current form or, if any portion of the Deposit Materials is encrypted, the decryption tools and decryption keys have also been deposited. 1.5 Available Verification Services. Upon receipt of a written request from Preferred Beneficiary, DSI and Preferred Beneficiary may enter into a separate proposal agreement ("Statement of Work") pursuant to which DSI will agree, upon certain terms and conditions, to inspect the Deposit Materials consistent with one or several of the levels of verification described in the attached Technical Verification Options. Depositor consents to DSI's performance of any level(s) of verification described in the attached Technical Verification Options. Depositor shall reasonably cooperate with DSI by providing its facilities, computer software systems, and technical and support personnel for verification whenever reasonably necessary. If a verification is elected after the Deposit Materials have been delivered to DSI, then only DSI, or at DSI's election, an independent contractor or company selected by DSI may perform the verification. Page 2 www.dsiescrow.com P03v1 1.6 Deposit Updates. Unless otherwise provided by the License Agreement, Depositor shall update the Deposit Materials within sixty (60) days of each release of a new version of the product, which is subject to the License Agreement. Such updates will be added to the existing deposit. All deposit updates shall be listed on a new Exhibit B and Depositor shall sign the new Exhibit B. Each Exhibit B will be held and maintained separately within the escrow account. An independent record will be created which will document the activity for each Exhibit B. Any deposit updates shall be held in accordance with Sections 1.2 through 1.4 above. All references in this Agreement to the Deposit Materials shall include the initial Deposit Materials and any updates. 1.7 Removal of Deposit Materials. The Deposit Materials may be removed and/or exchanged only on written instructions signed by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement. ARTICLE 2 -- CONFIDENTIALITY AND RECORD KEEPING 2.1 Confidentiality. DSI shall have the obligation to reasonably protect the confidentiality of the Deposit Materials. Except as provided in this Agreement or any subsequent agreement between the Parties, including without limitation Section 1.5, DSI shall not disclose, transfer, make available or use the Deposit Materials. DSI's independent contractors are subject to appropriate confidentiality restrictions with DSI. DSI shall not disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party. If DSI receives a subpoena or any other order from a court or other judicial tribunal pertaining to the disclosure or release of the Deposit Materials, DSI will immediately notify the parties to this Agreement unless prohibited by law. It shall be the responsibility of Depositor and/or Preferred Beneficiary to challenge any such order; provided, however, that DSI does not waive its rights to present its position with respect to any such order. DSI will not be required to disobey any order from a court or other judicial tribunal, including, but not limited to, notices delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 below. 2.2 Status Reports. DSI shall provide to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary a report profiling the account history semiannually. ARTICLE 3 -- RIGHT TO MAKE COPIES 3.1 Right to Make Copies. DSI shall have the right to make copies of the Deposit Materials as reasonably necessary to perform this Agreement. DSI shall copy all copyright, nondisclosure, and other proprietary notices and titles contained on the Deposit Materials onto any copies made by DSI. With all Deposit Materials submitted to DSI, Depositor shall provide any and all instructions as may be necessary to duplicate the Deposit Materials, including, but not limited to, the hardware and/or software needed. Any copying expenses incurred by DSI as a result of a request to copy will be borne by the party requesting the copies. Alternatively, DSI may notify Depositor requiring its reasonable cooperation in promptly copying the Deposit Materials in order for DSI to perform this Agreement. Page 3 www.dsiescrow.com P03v1 ARTICLE 4 -- RELEASE OF DEPOSIT 4.1 Release Conditions. As used in this Agreement, "Release Condition" shall mean the following: a. The existence of any one or more of the following circumstances, uncorrected for more than thirty (30) days: i. Entry of an order for relief relating to Depositor under Title 11 of the United States Code; ii. The making by Depositor of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; iii. The appointment of a general receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of Depositor's business or property; or iv. Action by Depositor under any state or federal insolvency or similar law for the purpose of its bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation. b. The Deposit Materials are needed by the Preferred Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, for purposes of a Bug Fix (as defined below); or c. Joint written instructions from Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Bug Fix" shall mean: 1. that the software a. cannot run properly for its intended purpose; or b. has interoperability problems with other third party products including, without limitation, operating system upgrades and patches and new applications necessary or customary for the end user's business; and 2. there is no Workaround available. A program, patch or product for which an additional license fee must be paid is not a "Workaround." Reverting to an earlier version of a program or product, or removing a program or product, is not a "Workaround." 4.2 Filing For Release. If Preferred Beneficiary believes in good faith that a Release Condition has occurred, Preferred Beneficiary may provide to DSI written notice of the occurrence of the Release Condition and a request for the release of the Deposit Materials. Such notice shall be signed by the Preferred Beneficiary and on company letterhead and shall specify which release condition Preferred Beneficiary believes to have occurred. Unless DSI acknowledges or discovers independently, or through the Parties, its need for additional documentation or information in order to comply with this Section, DSI shall promptly provide a copy of the notice to Depositor by commercial express mail. Such need for additional documentation or information may extend the time period for DSI's performance under this Section. Page 4 www.dsiescrow.com P03v1 4.3 Contrary Instructions. From the date DSI mails the notice requesting release of the Deposit Materials, Depositor shall have ten (10) business days to deliver to DSI contrary instructions ("Contrary Instructions"), with regard to a release request pursuant to 4.1(a), or three (3) business days to deliver to DSI Contrary Instructions with regard to a release pursuant to 4.1(b). Contrary Instructions shall mean the written representation by Depositor that a Release Condition has not occurred or has been cured. Contrary Instructions shall be signed by Depositor and on company letterhead. Upon receipt of Contrary Instructions, DSI shall promptly send a copy to Preferred Beneficiary by commercial express mail. Additionally, DSI shall notify both Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary that there is a dispute to be resolved pursuant to Section 7.4 of this Agreement. Subject to Section 5.2 of this Agreement, DSI will continue to store the Deposit Materials without release pending (a) joint instructions from Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary; (b) dispute resolution pursuant to Section 7.4; or (c) an order from a court of competent jurisdiction. 4.4 Release of Deposit. If DSI does not receive Contrary Instructions from the Depositor, DSI is authorized to release the Deposit Materials to the Preferred Beneficiary or, if more than one beneficiary is registered to the deposit, to release a copy of the Deposit Materials to the Preferred Beneficiary. However, DSI is entitled to receive any fees due DSI before making the release. Any copying expenses will be chargeable to Preferred Beneficiary. This Agreement will terminate upon the release of the Deposit Materials held by DSI. 4.5 Right to Use Following Release. Unless otherwise provided in the License Agreement, upon release of the Deposit Materials in accordance with this Article 4, Preferred Beneficiary shall have the right to use the Deposit Materials for the sole purpose of continuing the benefits afforded to Preferred Beneficiary by the License Agreement except that if the Deposit Material is released pursuant to Section 4.1(b) hereof, Preferred Beneficiary shall have the right to use the Deposit Materials for the sole purpose of a Bug Fix. Preferred Beneficiary shall be obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the released Deposit Materials. ARTICLE 5 -- TERM AND TERMINATION 5.1 Term of Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement is for a period of one (1) year. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew from year to year unless (a) Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary jointly instruct DSI in writing that the Agreement is terminated; (b) DSI instructs Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary in writing after its renewal date that the Agreement is terminated for nonpayment in accordance with Section 5.2; or (c) DSI reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, for any reason, other than for nonpayment, by providing Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary sixty (60) days written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement. If the Deposit Materials are subject to another escrow agreement with DSI, DSI reserves the right, after the initial one year term, to adjust the anniversary date of this Agreement to match the then prevailing anniversary date of such other escrow arrangements. 5.2 Termination for Nonpayment. In the event of the nonpayment of fees owed to DSI, DSI shall provide written notice of delinquency to all parties to this Agreement. Any party to this Agreement shall have the right to make the payment to DSI to cure the default. If the past due payment is not received in full by DSI within one (1) month of the date of such notice, then DSI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending written notice of termination to all parties. DSI shall have no obligation to take any action under this Agreement so long as any payment due to DSI remains unpaid. Page 5 www.dsiescrow.com P03v1 5.3 Disposition of Deposit Materials Upon Termination. Subject to the foregoing termination provisions, and upon termination of this Agreement, DSI shall destroy, return, or otherwise deliver the Deposit Materials in accordance with Depositor's instructions. If there are no instructions, DSI may, at its sole discretion, destroy the Deposit Materials or return them to Depositor. DSI shall have no obligation to destroy or return the Deposit Materials if the Deposit Materials are subject to another escrow agreement with DSI or have been released to the Preferred Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.4. 5.4 Survival of Terms Following Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive: a. The obligations of confidentiality with respect to the Deposit Materials; b. The obligation to pay DSI any fees and expenses due; c. The provisions of Article 7; and d. Any provisions in this Agreement which specifically state they survive the termination of this Agreement.

DSI shall notify the party responsible for payment of DSI's fees at least sixty (60) days prior to any increase in fees. For any service not listed on DSI's standard fee schedule, DSI will provide a quote prior to rendering the service, if requested. 6.2 Payment Terms. DSI shall not be required to perform any service, including release of any Deposit Materials under Article 4, unless the payment for such service and any outstanding balances owed to DSI are paid in full. Initial fees are due upon receipt of a signed contract or receipt of the Deposit Materials whichever is earliest. Payments on all renewal and services invoices are due net thirty (30) days from date of invoice. If invoiced fees are not paid, DSI may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2. ARTICLE 7 -- LIABILITY AND DISPUTES 7.1 Right to Rely on Instructions. DSI may act in reliance upon any instruction, instrument, or signature reasonably believed by DSI to be genuine. DSI may assume that any employee of a party to this Agreement who gives any written notice, request, or instruction has the authority to do so. Regarding release and termination any written notice, request or instruction shall be given by a president or officer of the party. DSI will not be required to inquire into the truth or evaluate the merit of any statement or representation contained in any notice or document. DSI shall not be responsible for failure to act as a result of causes beyond the reasonable control of DSI. Page 6 www.dsiescrow.com P03v1 7.2 Indemnification. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary each agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless DSI from any and all claims, actions, damages, arbitration fees and expenses, costs, attorney's fees and other liabilities ("Liabilities") incurred by DSI relating in any way to this escrow arrangement, except where it is adjudged that DSI acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. 7.3 Limitation of Liability. In no event will DSI be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, damages (including loss of data, revenue, and/or profits) costs or expenses (including legal fees and expenses), whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, that may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement; and in no event shall the collective liability of DSI exceed ten times the fees paid under this Agreement. The foregoing limitation of liability does not apply with respect to any acts of gross negligence, personal injury claims, property damage claims (excluding the Deposit), or intellectual property infringement. 7.4 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, difference or question relating to or arising among any of the parties concerning the construction, meaning, effect or implementation of this Agreement or any party hereof will be submitted to, and settled by arbitration by a single arbitrator chosen by the San Diego Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall apply California law. Unless otherwise agreed by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary, arbitration will take place in San Diego, California, U.S.A. Any court having jurisdiction over the matter may enter judgment on the award of the arbitrator. Service of a petition to confirm the arbitration award may be made by First Class mail or by commercial express mail, to the attorney for the party or, if unrepresented, to the party at the last known business address. If, however, Depositor and/or Preferred Beneficiary refuses to submit to arbitration, the matter shall not be submitted to arbitration and DSI may submit the matter to any court of competent jurisdiction for an interpleader or similar action. Unless adjudged otherwise, any costs of arbitration incurred by DSI, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs, shall be divided equally and paid by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. 7.5 Controlling Law. This Agreement is to be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. 7.6 Notice of Requested Order.

Give DSI at least five (5) business days prior notice of the hearing; b. Include in any such order that, as a precondition to DSI's obligation, DSI be paid in full for any past due fees and be paid for the reasonable value of the services to be rendered pursuant to such order; and c. Ensure that DSI not be required to deliver the original (as opposed to a copy) of the Deposit Materials if DSI may need to retain the original in its possession to fulfill any of its other duties.

These tests detect errors that often inhibit effective use of the escrow deposit. STEPS INCLUDE: Analyzing deposit media readability, virus scanning, developing file classification tables, identifying the presence/absence of build instructions, and identifying materials required to recreate the Depositor's software development environment. At completion of testing, DSI will distribute a report to Preferred Beneficiary detailing DSI's investigation. This report will include build instructions, file classification tables and listings. In addition, the report will list required software development materials, including, without limitation, required source code languages and compilers, third-party software, libraries, operating systems, and hardware, as well as DSI's analysis of the deposit. When identifying materials required to recreate Depositor's software development environment, DSI will rely on information provided in Depositor's completed questionnaire (obtained via a DSI verification representative) and/or information gathered during DSI's testing experience. LEVEL II - BUILD This series of tests includes a standard effort to compile the Deposit Materials and build executable code. STEPS INCLUDE: Recreating the Depositor's software development environment, compiling source files and modules, recreating executable code, and providing a listing of the hardware and software configurations necessary to recreate the Depositor's software development environment. DSI will also create a report detailing the steps necessary to recreate the development environment, problems encountered with testing, and DSI's analysis of the deposit. LEVEL III - VALIDATION A Level III verification consists of testing the functionality of the compiled Deposit Materials (in a production setting or similar environment) and can be accomplished through one of the following three options: OPTION A - With the Depositor's approval, executables created by DSI during Level II testing are provided to the Preferred Beneficiary for functionality testing. OPTION B - The Preferred Beneficiary provides DSI with a copy of its licensed executables. DSI compares the executables created during Level II testing with the licensed executables and provides a comparison report to all parties. OPTION C - DSI recreates the runtime environment for the licensed technology and installs the executables created during the Level II testing into that environment. (The environment is generally "scaled down" from the actual live environment.) DSI then runs test scripts supplied by the Preferred Beneficiary and provides a report of the test results to all parties. This may require Depositor approval.
