shall be governed by Section 5.2(a), below; and (ii) Section 5.1(b) shall be
governed by Section 5.2(b), below. All sublicensees must enter into a written
sublicense agreement with SSG, the form and content of which agreement (or
agreements, as appropriate) are fully consistent with the provisions of this
Section 5.2 and have been previously approved by InterTrust in writing (such
approval not to be withheld unless such form agreements do not reasonably
protect InterTrust's rights as set forth in this Agreement or its Intellectual
Property Rights). Upon approval, each sublicense form shall be attached as an
Exhibit hereto and may be used by SSG as appropriate under the circumstances,
unless and until InterTrust reasonably requires that one or more approved
sublicense forms be modified, to accommodate, for example, modified provisions
or additional provisions reasonable under the circumstances. Such sublicense
form agreement shall, at minimum, require each sublicensee to agree in writing:
(a) to be subject to SSG's obligations under this Agreement; (b) to perform
obligations identical to the obligations of SSG under Sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.4,
6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5 (to the extent any sublicensee marks may be used in
connection with products), 6.6 and 10.2, and Articles 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15 and

In addition, each sublicensee shall enter into a written agreement with
InterTrust, in the form of a certification form to be attached as an Exhibit to
the sublicense agreement, pursuant to which such sublicensee agrees that
InterTrust shall have the right to enforce the terms of the sublicense agreement
between SSG and such sublicensee. Prior to granting any such sublicense, SSG
shall provide InterTrust with the name of the proposed sublicensee and a
certification that the proposed sublicense agreement includes all of the
provisions contained in the approved sublicense form. Where the proposed
sublicensee is not a SSG and/or SOFTBANK Affiliate, InterTrust shall have thirty
(30) days to authorize such proposed sublicensee. InterTrust's decision to
authorize or refuse to authorize a proposed sublicensee that is not a SSG and/or
SOFTBANK Affiliate shall be in InterTrust's sole discretion, and can be
exercised on any basis. If InterTrust fails to authorize the sublicensee, the
sublicense agreement shall not take effect. Any sublicense granted to an
Affiliate of SSG or SOFTBANK shall remain effective only so long as such
sublicensee remains an Affiliate of SSG or SOFTBANK. SSG shall guarantee and
remain liable to InterTrust for all sublicensees' performance of such
obligations. Sublicensees shall have no further right to sublicense any right
received. SSG agrees and acknowledges that SSG's performance of its obligations
hereunder is necessary for InterTrust to adequately protect its Intellectual
Property Rights made available hereunder, and such performance shall constitute
a condition precedent to the granting of other licenses under Article 5 hereof.
(a) Non-Clearinghouse Sublicenses. SSG may enter into sublicense
-----------------------------
agreements pursuant to which SSG may grant sublicensees some or all of the
rights licensed to SSG under Sections 5.1(a)(i), 5.1(a)(ii), 5.1(a)(iii),

materially impedes SSG's development efforts as relevant, but only from the
date that SSG documents such defect as provided in Section 3.3(b) hereof to
the date InterTrust has reasonably corrected or removed such Material
Defect as provided hereunder; or (ii) InterTrust materially fails to
provide any of the support services required in Section 3.3 (other than
Section 3.3(b)) and such material failure actually impedes SSG's
development efforts, as relevant, but only to the extent of any delay
reasonably and solely attributable to such material failure.
(b) Compliance with InterTrust Specifications. SSG shall not commence
-----------------------------------------
the distribution, sale or other transfer of any specific SSG Product or

related InterTrust product development, for purposes of, for example,
improving architectural integrity, functional capability, standardization,
security capability, efficiency, and/or interoperability of InterTrust
Commerce-based technology, components, products and services (a "New
---
Specification"). InterTrust shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
-------------
maintain compatibility between a New Specification and the then-preceding
Specification, unless considerations of security, interoperability,
performance, or functionality enhancement indicate that such compatibility
is not commercially appropriate. To the extent InterTrust releases a New
Specification that applies to any portion of a Cooperative Application, SSG
Product and/or service then being performed or distributed by SSG (as
applicable), SSG shall bring any further such products delivered to
customers, and/or any services for any such products (as applicable), into
Compliance with such New Specification as of the earliest to occur of: (i)
the next version, release, or production cycle of such Cooperative
Application, SSG Product and/or service (the "Next Version"), as earlier
------------
applicable, but only to the extent that SSG receives notice of such New
Specification within a reasonably sufficient time of such Next Version to
accommodate new aspects of such New Specification; and (ii) [*] ([*])
months after SSG receives a released copy of such New Specification.
InterTrust and SSG further agree that SSG shall, within [*] ([*]) months
after receiving a released copy of such New Specification, implement such
new aspects of such New Specification for all applicable services
supporting and/or employing SSG Products and Cooperative Applications

appropriate steps are reasonable and required under the circumstances to
minimize or eliminate a continuation of such interoperability and/or
security problems.
(c) Compliance Testing. SSG acknowledges that: (i) in support of
------------------
InterTrust Technology, InterTrust may implement one or more certification
programs designed to ensure that licensed products and/or associated
services (including SSG Products and any Cooperative Applications) use
InterTrust Technology and/or Modified Technology in Compliance with
InterTrust Specifications in accordance with this Agreement (the
"Certification Program(s)"); and (ii) such a Certification Program(s) is
------------------------
important to maintaining the reliability of products and services employing
InterTrust Technology and/or Modified Technology, and in maintaining public
confidence in the integrity of InterTrust brands as the resource for
interoperable electronic commerce. Such Certification Programs may, in
InterTrust's sole discretion, require, for example, SSG: (a) to use a suite
of test software provided by InterTrust for use by SSG to test and verify
that Cooperative Applications and SSG Products (and/or associated services)
are in Compliance with InterTrust Specifications; (b) to submit samples of
Cooperative Applications and SSG Products and associated programs,
parameter data, and other information (in object code form unless source
code is necessary or reasonably appropriate) that may be technically
material to Compliance with InterTrust Specifications, prior to first
commercial distribution, sale, other transfer to, or use by, a customer or
SSG service, as applicable, so as to allow InterTrust (or an InterTrust
delegate) to perform confidential testing ("Certification Testing"); and
---------------------
(c) to the extent that options (a) or (b) immediately above do not, or can
not reasonably be anticipated to, provide sufficient information to verify
Compliance, to provide InterTrust with full and detailed specifications and
documentation related to SSG's use of InterTrust Technology and Modified
Technology for SSG Products, Cooperative Applications, and any associated
services, but only to the extent that any such specifications and
documentation may be material to Certification Testing. SSG shall comply
with any Certification Program established by InterTrust in accordance
herewith, and all specifications and documentation provided shall be
certified by an authorized representative of SSG. In connection with any
such Certification Testing, particularly the testing of products and/or
services, as applicable, InterTrust (or an InterTrust delegate) will
respond in a reasonably prompt manner following receipt of submitted
products and access to, or receipt of technology supporting, such service,
unless commercially reasonable factors prolong such testing. Such response
shall be in the form of: (1) a written approval that the product or service
is certified (such SSG Products and Cooperative Applications not being
Compliant until such certification has been granted); or (2) if not
approved, a detailed summary of problems and, where feasible, suggested
solutions. InterTrust (or an InterTrust delegate) will apply the
Certification Program, as applicable, in a non-discriminatory and
consistent manner with respect to similar products and/or services.
InterTrust's rights under this Section 6.1 shall not be affected in any
manner by an InterTrust decision not to perform such Certification Testing.
(d) Costs. To defray costs associated with the performance and
-----
administration of the Certification Program, in connection with the
certification of any product or service SSG shall be charged a reasonable
fee not to exceed industry norms for similar testing activities (and, if
conducted by InterTrust, the full cost incurred by InterTrust in performing
and administering such tests). An estimate of such fee shall be provided to
-19-
CONFIDENTIAL
SSG, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practical upon SSG's submission
of samples, or documentation for and access to services, for testing, and
such fee shall be paid by SSG in accordance with standard industry
practices, as available.
(e) Translation of Material in Foreign Languages. InterTrust shall
--------------------------------------------
have the right to receive and approve (to the extent referencing InterTrust
Technology or capabilities and/or functions enabled by InterTrust
Technology) any non-English translations made by or for SSG of
documentation provided by SSG concerning SSG Products, and Cooperative
Applications, and any related services (including Distributable
Documentation), legends and Notices required pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof
and other required notices, and all versions of InterTrust Technology.
6.2 Customer Agreements. SSG shall not distribute any Cooperative
-------------------
Application or SSG Product to any Person unless SSG shall have first notified
and required such Person to execute a form of customer agreement (the "Customer
--------
Agreement(s)") provided by SSG, such Customers Agreement forms having: (i)
------------
terms relating to InterTrust Technology and InterTrust's rights and interests
consistent with and reflective of the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) been
previously approved in writing by InterTrust (such approval not to be withheld
unless such Customer Agreement(s) does not reasonably protect InterTrust's
rights under this Agreement or sufficiently protect InterTrust's Intellectual
Property Rights. Once approved by InterTrust, the Customer Agreement(s) shall be
set forth as an Exhibit to this Agreement and may be used, as applicable, by SSG
as a form agreement unless and until: (a) SSG modifies such agreement (provided
that InterTrust has approved such modification in writing); or (b) InterTrust
reasonably requires that SSG alter the Customer Agreement to protect
InterTrust's rights under this Agreement or to protect its Intellectual Property
Rights, for example in view of court decisions and/or applicable regulations
under the circumstances. At a minimum, the Customer Agreement forms will: (i)
prohibit customers from disassembling, modifying or reverse engineering any
portion of the InterTrust Technology incorporated in the SSG Product or
Cooperative Application; (ii) stipulate that such customer has no right to use
the SSG Product or Cooperative Application to engage in or perform any
Clearinghouse Functions whatsoever unless such customer is an Authorized
Clearinghouse Provider or an authorized sublicensee under Section 5.2 hereof;
(iii) grant such customer only a limited license to use the Cooperative
Application or SSG Product, and, as applicable, to (A) incorporate Authorized
Application Software into such customer's software product to provide a Rights
User Node that is Compliant with InterTrust Specifications or (B) develop and
incorporate software components that provide the interface for and support
operation in conjunction with a Rights User Node provided by InterTrust Commerce
Technology; (iv) permit such customer to engage SSG and/or an Authorized
Clearinghouse Provider to perform Clearinghouse Functions with respect to such
software product; (v) provide that if such customer is permitted to modify any
portion of InterTrust Technology, such customer shall grant to InterTrust a
license on substantially the same terms as Section 8.4; (vi) provide that the
Customer Agreement is to and for InterTrust's benefit and may be enforced by
InterTrust at its discretion; and (vii) contain such other provisions as
stipulated herein. SSG agrees that to the extent any form of Customer Agreement
might be deemed to be unenforceable or otherwise ineffective in any
jurisdiction, SSG shall, upon notification by InterTrust, substitute other forms
of Customer Agreements, or take other actions, as reasonably specified by
InterTrust, including, for example, specifying other generally accepted, legally
effective forms of Customer Agreement, if such exists for a given jurisdiction,
in order to provide InterTrust with legally enforceable protection contemplated
hereunder. SSG agrees and acknowledges that SSG's
-20-
CONFIDENTIAL
performance of its obligations hereunder is necessary for InterTrust to
adequately protect its Intellectual Property Rights made available hereunder,
and such performance shall constitute a condition precedent to the licenses
granted under Article 5 hereof. SSG shall not be obligated to file any claim in
litigation to enforce the terms of Customer Agreement(s); provided that SSG
-------- ----
shall, if requested by InterTrust, terminate such Customer Agreement(s) upon a
material breach by such customer(s).
6.3 Legends and Notices.

counsel, assist in protecting InterTrust intellectual property and other
InterTrust rights under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, (b) are
commercially reasonable means to protect InterTrust rights without being
overly intrusive or unreasonably costly to SSG's sales and marketing
efforts, and (c) in InterTrust's reasonable opinion or upon written opinion
of InterTrust's outside legal counsel, cannot be adequately addressed in
the Customer Agreement. Before any Notices are omitted pursuant to
subsections (b) and (c) immediately above, SSG shall advise InterTrust in

SSG, SOFTBANK, or a SOFTBANK Affiliate as an InterTrust provider of
software distribution clearinghouse transaction services; or (b) contains
materials, or points to another website that contains materials, directly
and substantially in conflict with SSG's material commercial interests.
Before any such link is removed or not established for the reasons set
forth in subsection (a) and (b) immediately above, SSG shall provide
InterTrust with four (4) days prior written notice describing any such
material conflict and afford InterTrust the opportunity to comment upon
and, if appropriate, correct such conflict. InterTrust shall be afforded
the opportunity to have a link re-established promptly upon any
rectification of a material conflict.

-----------------
promptly following the Effective Date and continuing through the period six (6)
months after SSG's first commercial distribution or use of any SSG Product or
related service (the "Marketing Project Period") to promote InterTrust Commerce
------------------------
Technology-based products and services as follows:
(a) Prior to October 1, 1996, SSG, with InterTrust's assistance,
shall develop a detailed outline for the marketing program (the "Marketing
---------
Outline"), which shall be subject to each Party's reasonable approval. The
-------
Marketing Outline will set forth, at a minimum, detailed proposed Marketing
Activities (as defined below) on a quarterly basis, and a proposed
schedule, budget, and expense allocation (the "Allocated Expenses") for
--------- --------
SSG's cooperative marketing efforts in connection with the Marketing
Activities (such allocation to include, as mutually and reasonably agreed
by the Parties, pro rata portions of overhead and expenses as appropriate).
(b) The Marketing Outline shall include, at minimum, the following
activities, and other activities as the Parties may agree (collectively,
the "Marketing Activities"): (i) advertisement of InterTrust prominently
--------------------
in conjunction with SSG-advertised electronic commerce activities of SSG
products and/or services; (ii) prominent placement on SSG's, and, as
relevant, SOFTBANK Affiliates' primary world wide web page(s) of the

Xxxxx Publishing Company)
(c) During the Marketing Project Period, SSG shall directly expend at
least one million dollars (US$1,000,000) in Allocated Expenses to carry out
the activities set forth in the Marketing Outline. Such expenditure shall
be deemed to be a material obligation of SSG hereunder. If at the end of
the Marketing Project Period SSG has spent less than one million dollars
(US$1,000,000) pursuant to the marketing program (the
-29-
CONFIDENTIAL
amount so spent subtracted from $1,000,000 constituting the "Deficit
-------
Amount"), SSG shall pay the entirety of such Deficit Amount directly to
------
InterTrust within thirty (30) days of the end of the Marketing Project
Period.
9.4 Technology Advisory Committee. To further strategic opportunities
-----------------------------
among the Parties and to encourage feedback concerning InterTrust Technology,
InterTrust currently intends to establish a committee limited to representatives
of: (i) leading companies chosen from certain technology, financial and/or
content industry companies that have close technology strategic relationships
with InterTrust; and (ii) certain leading experts in technology or business
applicable to information and electronic commerce (the "Technology Advisory
-------------------
Committee"). The Technology Advisory Committee will meet regularly at a forum
---------
to be selected by InterTrust for the purpose of discussing and exchanging ideas
for improving the functionality, interoperability, and market acceptability of
InterTrust Technology and related issues pertaining to the electronic commerce
industry. Upon the establishment of the Technology Advisory Committee: (a)
InterTrust shall grant SSG the right to have one seat as a member thereof for a
period of three (3) years; and (b) SSG shall promptly elect and notify
InterTrust of its designation of an executive (who may be an employee of SSG,
SOFTBANK, or an Affiliate) to serve on such committee. SSG shall: (1) be
responsible for all acts and omissions of the representative in connection with
the Technology Advisory Committee; and (2) pay for all expenses incurred by SSG
in connection with participation on such Committee. SSG and its representative

ARTICLE 10. Partnering Commitments.
10.1 InterTrust Partnering Commitment. In consideration for SSG's obligations
--------------------------------
hereunder, its commitment pursuant to Section 10.2, and the funds to be spent by
SSG to develop SSG Products and related services, InterTrust agrees to the
following partnering commitment (the "InterTrust Partnering Commitment").
--------------------------------
Without obtaining the express prior written consent of SSG, which consent SSG
may grant or deny in its sole discretion, commencing on the Effective Date and
continuing until six months after the date on which InterTrust provides its SDK
1.0 (beta version) product to SSG (the "First Period"), InterTrust shall refrain
------------
from granting to any of the entities listed on Exhibit H hereto a license under
the Licensed Rights to perform financial and usage information Clearinghouse
Function services in connection with the administration of the distribution and
use of software executables (i.e., personal and business productivity software
applications and applets) ("Software Executables"). The InterTrust Partnering
--------------------
-30-
CONFIDENTIAL
Commitment shall not in any way be construed to extend beyond the narrow scope
herein provided, including, but not limited to, any of the excluded areas
("Excluded Areas") set forth on Exhibit H hereto. Such First Period may be
--------------
extended for a period of time ending eighteen (18) months from the Effective
Date (the "Additional Period"), to the extent that SSG executes an agreement
-----------------
with [*] or three (3) of UCA's five (5) largest ISV/OEM customers (as determined
on a UCA-received revenue basis), whereby [*] or such ISV/OEM customers adopt,
as a primary means of electronic distribution of its software products or as its
transaction system, InterTrust Technology in the form of SSG Products, SSG
Application Products and/or Cooperative Applications or wherein each such
applicable company commits to incorporate InterTrust packaging and/or viewing
capabilities in such companies' software application products (including update
and update releases, as well as product reconfigurations and modifications
thereof) that in the aggregate exceed six (6) million units (including
application products and client software) shipped annually (based on annualized
volumes measured in the highest volume quarter for such units within the
previous five (5) calendar quarters preceding such agreement, or reasonably
projected for such units in the next four (4) calendar quarters if such
application product has not been shipped in each of the previous five (5)
quarters). The Additional Period shall cease immediately (i) upon a failure by
SSG to spend four million dollars ($4,000,000) in the aggregate in the technical
development and/or promotion and sale of SSG Products or Cooperative Application
Products directly related to supporting Clearinghouse Function services on or
before the first anniversary of SSG's receipt of InterTrust's SDK 1.0 (beta
version) (such amount to be calculated in accordance with generally accepted US
accounting principles consistently applied (GAAP) and excluding any fees or
royalties paid to InterTrust pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) should SSG fail
to commercially release a SSG Product on or before twelve (12) months after
InterTrust has provided SSG with its SDK 1.0 (beta version). InterTrust may, at
any time, relieve itself of all of the obligations set forth in this Section
10.1 by, at its discretion, either: (a) paying to SSG an amount equal to twice
SSG's direct expenses (the "Direct Expenses") incurred, limited to the amount of
---------------
money that SSG can demonstrate through financial records (kept in accordance
with GAAP) that it has directly expended in connection with the technical
development or promotion and sale of SSG Products or Cooperative Applications as
contemplated hereunder, provided that such payment amount shall not exceed ten
million dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate; or (ii) transferring to SSG (at
no cost) 174,947 shares of InterTrust's equity securities, such type of equity
securities being Class A Common Stock or a more senior security, and otherwise
the type of security being within InterTrust's sole reasonable commercial
discretion, and the method of transfer being such method as upon which the
Parties may agree in the exercise of their discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that InterTrust chooses to transfer such 174,947 shares
to SSG and the fair market value of such shares, as determined by InterTrust's
board of directors in the exercise of good faith, is less than the Direct
Expenses, InterTrust shall pay to SSG an amount equivalent in cash and/or the
value of additional shares equal to the difference between the amount of the
Direct Expenses and such fair market value of such shares. To the extent
InterTrust complies with this Section 10.1, InterTrust shall not be restricted
from working with or licensing any technology or Intellectual Property to any
Person.
10.2 SSG Partnering Commitment. In partial consideration for: (i)
-------------------------
InterTrust's performance of its obligations hereunder, including providing to
SSG material access to confidential InterTrust Technology and Intellectual
Property; (ii) the rights granted to SSG hereunder; and (iii) InterTrust's
partnering commitment to SSG as set forth in Section 10.1 hereof, SSG agrees to
the following partnering commitment (the "SSG Partnering Commitment"). Without
-------------------------

FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
-31-
CONFIDENTIAL
obtaining the express prior written consent of a Designated Officer of
InterTrust (as defined in Section 11.2(b) hereof), which consent InterTrust may
grant or deny in its sole discretion, during the First Period, SSG shall: (a)
exclusively use the InterTrust Technology as its Secure Container and rights
management technology solution and refrain from performing any transactions or
engaging in the creation of any business relationships relating to Secure
Containers other than those employing the InterTrust Technology; and (b) not
participate in, assist, or promote the development, use or exploitation of any
technology or products (other than the InterTrust Technology) that contain or
include any material portion of the capabilities set forth in the "Special
-------
Advanced Technologies" as described in Exhibit F attached hereto. With respect
---------------------
to the subject matter of subparagraph (b) immediately above, the First Period
shall automatically (and without any further action) be extended for a period
ending eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing: (1) any obligation pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall immediately
cease, at SSG's option (upon the agreement of both UCA and SIS), if InterTrust
has not provided the SDK 1.0 to SSG by the end of the second quarter (Q2) 1997;
and (2) after such First Period, SSG may participate in, assist, or promote the
development, use or exploitation of (A) any technology or products, so long as
such technology or products do not include, and are not specially adapted to
enable, any material portion of the Special Advanced Technologies and (B) any
technology or products that include, or are specially adapted to enable, any
material portion of the Special Advanced Technologies to the extent that such
Special Advanced Technologies may be incorporated by InterTrust in InterTrust
Technology or rightfully provided to SSG by another InterTrust licensee, and
whereby such right to use said Special Advanced Technologies is derived
exclusively from and used solely pursuant to this Agreement, or from such other
InterTrust licensee as expressly allowed in its license agreement with
InterTrust. To the extent SSG complies with this Section 10.2, SSG shall not be
restricted from developing or pursuing any business models or activities
consistent with its licenses hereunder with any Person.
10.3 Additional Provisions. Any material breach of the foregoing
---------------------
provisions by a Party shall be subject to the specific remedies set forth in
Section 13.3, in addition to other remedies available to thee other party under
this Agreement, at law, or in equity. If one Party has been relieved of its
Partner Commitment as set forth in this Article 10, the other Party shall be
relieved of its Partnering Commitment as well. In all events (except pursuant
to Section 15.4 hereof), neither Party's Partnering Commitment to the other
shall extend beyond eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 11. CONFIDENTIALITY.
11.1 Classification of Technology and Documents For Confidentiality
--------------------------------------------------------------
Purposes. For ease in complying with the terms of this Article 11, information
--------
and documents to be exchanged by the Parties shall be marked, as appropriate, to
identify the confidential or nonconfidential nature of the information. As
regards InterTrust Technology (including Documentation) and other documents or
information provided by InterTrust to SSG hereunder, such information shall be
marked or indicated as: (i) "Unclassified"; (ii) "Confidential"; or (iii) "Top
Secret." SSG information shall be marked as: (a) "Unclassified" or (b)
"Confidential." A Party and its authorized personnel shall exercise careful
judgment when they are in possession of information of the other Party that has
not been marked or indicated with one of the above-described classifications.
If any information provided by one Party has not been marked or indicated as
above and is not known with certainty by the receiving Party to have been either
publicly released or otherwise classified as "Unclassified," then such other
Party, its employees and any other person authorized to possess such information
shall treat such information as "Confidential" except information provided by
InterTrust relating to security capabilities, trustedness, and architecture (or
design) integrity of the InterTrust Technology, which shall be considered to be
"Top Secret" and shall be handled as provided by Section 11.2(b) hereof.
11.2 InterTrust Information.
----------------------
(a) Confidential Information. To the extent that SSG receives from
------------------------
InterTrust under this Agreement any InterTrust Technology or any other
information or technology that is marked "Confidential" when disclosed in
written form, or indicated as "Confidential" when disclosed orally
("InterTrust Confidential Information"), SSG shall hold such InterTrust
-------------------------------------
Confidential Information in strict confidence and in a manner that: (i) is
sufficiently secure for the character and content of the InterTrust
Confidential Information; and (ii) is not less secure than procedures used
by SSG to protect its comparably important information and technology. SSG
shall not, without InterTrust's prior written consent, use, disclose,
provide or otherwise make available any InterTrust Confidential Information
to any person, except to any employee, director, consultant, agent or
professional consultant ("Agents") of SSG or one or more of SSG's permitted
------
sublicensees as authorized under the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, and their Agents of which each shall operate under the same
restrictions as SSG. Furthermore, in each case of disclosure to an Agent
of SSG or an authorized sublicensee, access to such InterTrust Confidential
Information shall be allowed only to Agents who have a reasonable need to
know such InterTrust Confidential Information, and then only to the extent
necessary to enable SSG or any such authorized sublicensee to use
InterTrust Confidential Information solely to exercise its license (or
sublicense) hereunder and/or as expressly allowed hereunder. SSG and any
such sublicensees, as the case may be, shall: (a) require their Agents
having access to any portion of InterTrust Confidential Information to
strictly maintain its confidentiality; and (b) ensure that each such Agent
shall have executed with SSG and/or an authorized sublicensee (as
applicable) a written non-disclosure/non-use agreement in the form set
forth on Exhibit G at all hereto or as subsequently provided by InterTrust,
or SSG's or such sublicensee's applicable form agreement which shall
effectively and comparably bind such Agent to the same scope as
InterTrust's form agreement, and which SSG's or sublicensee's form
agreement shall be subject to InterTrust's reasonable prior written
approval. SSG shall notify InterTrust
-33-
CONFIDENTIAL
promptly in writing of any unauthorized disclosure or other misuse or
misappropriation of any portions of the InterTrust Confidential
Information. SSG and any sublicensee (as appropriate) shall be fully
responsible for any breach of SSG's or sublicensees' obligations under this
Agreement by any Agent to whom such InterTrust Confidential Information has
been disclosed. Any obligation of SSG to keep InterTrust Confidential
Information in confidence shall expire thirty-six (36) months after
disclosure of such information by InterTrust to SSG.
(b) Top Secret Information. In order to protect InterTrust's rights,
----------------------
the rights of InterTrust licensees, and the secure interoperability and
reputation of InterTrust implementations, SSG shall treat any InterTrust
Technology or other confidential information that is either marked "Top
Secret" when disclosed in written form, or indicated as "Top Secret" when
disclosed orally ("Top Secret Information") in a manner not less secure
----------------------
than SSG's most secret information and, in all events in a manner
sufficient to reasonably ensure the security of such Top Secret
Information, given such great sensitivity of such Top Secret Information.
SSG shall allow disclosure of such Top Secret Information to no more than
six (6) designated individual employees of SSG at any time (and to no
sublicensee Agents), each of whom has a direct need to know such
information or be exposed to such Top Secret Information (as agreed in each
case by InterTrust) and then only to the extent necessary for SSG to use
Top Secret Information solely to exercise its rights and perform its
obligations under this Agreement. SSG shall not substitute any employee
designated to receive Top Secret Information with another employee, unless
such designated employee's employment with SSG has been terminated and such
person is no longer able to serve the intended role. None of such employees
shall receive a disclosure of any such Top Secret Information until: (i)
such employee becomes bound by personally executing an InterTrust Top
Secrecy Agreement (in the form set forth in Exhibit G hereto or as
subsequently provided by InterTrust) covering such information and
exposure; and (ii) an original executed copy of such agreement is received
by InterTrust, with return receipt provided to SSG, which such receipt may
be provided by fax communication if so requested in writing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, SSG and SSG employees described above shall
make no physical embodiments (for example, any reproduction or copy,
including descriptive notes) whatsoever of Top Secret Information, without
the prior express written authorization from InterTrust's Chairman of
Board, President or any other InterTrust Officer designated in a written
communication to SSG signed by InterTrust's Chairman of the Board (the
"Designated Officers"), nor shall SSG or such SSG employees disclose any
--------------------
Top Secret Information to any Person, except as described in this Section
11.2(b). If SSG becomes aware that any Top Secret Information has been
disclosed or treated other than as set forth in this Section 11.2(b),
and/or as specified in a Top Secrecy Agreement, SSG shall immediately
inform InterTrust of such occurrence and take immediate steps to correct
such compromise. SSG shall maintain a log of the employees accessing and
location of all originals and other tangible embodiments of all Top Secret
Information. SSG shall be fully responsible for any breach by any SSG
employee of this Agreement related to the unauthorized use or disclosure of
Top Secret Information.
11.3 SSG Information. To the extent that InterTrust receives SSG
---------------
confidential information that is either marked "confidential" when disclosed in
written form or indicated as "confidential" when disclosed orally ("SSG
---
Confidential Information"), under this Agreement,
------------------------
-34-
CONFIDENTIAL
InterTrust shall hold said SSG Confidential Information in confidence in a
manner that is sufficiently secure for the character and content of the
information and under no circumstances shall such SSG Confidential Information
be held in a manner that is less secure than procedures used by InterTrust in
connection with its comparably important information. Except as to the
disclosure by SSG of the Modified Technology or such disclosures inherent in the
Certification Testing of SSG Products, Cooperative Applications and/or any
associated services pursuant hereto and only to the extent expressly specified
by InterTrust Specifications, SSG shall not disclose or otherwise provide or
make available any SSG Confidential Information which is directly related to
InterTrust Technology and InterTrust's business activities, without first
acquiring written approval from a Designated Officer of InterTrust. InterTrust
shall not use, disclose, provide or otherwise make available any SSG
Confidential Information it has received in any form to any person except an
Agent of InterTrust. In a disclosure to Agents of InterTrust, access to SSG
Confidential Information shall be allowed only to Agents who have a reasonable
need to know such confidential information and only to the extent necessary to
enable InterTrust to use confidential information to exercise its rights and
perform its obligations hereunder. InterTrust shall: (a) require its Agents
having access to any portion of confidential information to strictly maintain
its confidentiality; and (b) ensure that each such Agent shall have executed
with InterTrust a written non-disclosure/non-use agreement provided by SSG, or
InterTrust's applicable form agreement which shall effectively and comparably
bind such Agent to the same scope as SSG's form agreement, and which InterTrust
form agreement shall be subject to SSG's reasonable prior written approval. Upon
such approval the SSG form agreement will be attached as an Exhibit hereto.
InterTrust agrees to notify SSG promptly in writing of any unauthorized
disclosure or other misuse or misappropriation of SSG Confidential Information
provided to InterTrust which may come to the attention of an InterTrust officer.
InterTrust shall be fully responsible for any breach of InterTrust's obligations
under this Agreement by any Agent to whom such SSG Confidential Information has
been disclosed. Any obligation of InterTrust to keep SSG information in
confidence shall expire thirty-six (36) months after disclosure of such
information by SSG to InterTrust.
11.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.2 and 11.3
----------
above, and except as to "Top Secret" information as provided in Section 11.2(b),
the confidentiality restrictions herein shall not apply to information that the
recipient thereof can demonstrate: (i) is or becomes generally known to the
public through no breach of any of these obligations, as of the date such
information becomes so known; (ii) is or shall have been independently developed
by such recipient by employees who had no access to such information; or (iii)
is or shall have been rightfully received, with no obligation of confidentiality
or non-use, by such recipient from any Person (other than as a result of another
Person's breach of an obligation of confidentiality to the discloser of such
information), as of the date such information is so received. In the event any
Party is required by law, regulation or order of a court or other authority of
competent jurisdiction to disclose the other Party's Confidential Information,
such Party shall notify such other Party as promptly as possible, and shall,
upon such other Party's request, reasonably assist in challenging or restricting
the scope of such required disclosure. Top Secret information may be disclosed
only upon InterTrust's prior written approval. In all events, a Party subject
to such required disclosure shall disclose only such information that is
strictly required pursuant thereto and no further information.
11.5 Confidentiality of Agreement and Publicity. Except as otherwise
------------------------------------------
provided in Sections 9.1 and 11.4 hereof, neither Party hereto shall at any
time, without the prior written
-35-
CONFIDENTIAL
consent of the other Party, disclose the specific details of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement to any Person, other than: (i) Agents having a
substantial need to know; (ii) as required by law in connection with any initial
public offering of securities pursuant to a registration under the Securities

reasonably anticipated conflict of interest with the disclosing party. In each
and every case set forth above, the receiving Person shall be bound by a
confidentiality agreement sufficient in scope to protect the Parties' rights and
interests hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
11.5: (a) either Party may publicly discuss or otherwise disclose that an
agreement exists between the Parties to develop InterTrust Compliant electronic
commerce industry standards, products and services, but may provide no further
material details as to the specific activities or commitments of the other Party
without the prior written consent of the other Party; and (b) either Party may
make such disclosures to the extent permitted under this Section 11.5 in order
to comply with its obligations or enforce its rights under this Agreement.

results thereof and any information received pursuant to any Certification
Testing), and all payment information received pursuant to this Agreement, shall

(i) InterTrust's breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or
its representations and warranties set forth in Article 12; and (ii) SSG's
proper use of InterTrust Trademarks as set forth herein; provided, however,
-------- -------
that, with respect to InterTrust's representations under Section 12.2(b),
----
12.2(b) hereof, this indemnity does not extend to any Claim relating to:
(1) any Modified Technology or other modifications thereto made by SSG or
any Person or combinations of the InterTrust Technology with any product,
technology or service of SSG or of any Person where such Claim would have
been avoided in the absence of such modification or combination; or (2) the
use of any InterTrust Technology in any manner inconsistent with InterTrust
Specifications or Documentation (collectively, the "Indemnification
---------------
Exclusions").
----------
(b) SSG Indemnification. Each of UCA and SIS shall jointly and
-------------------
severally indemnify and hold InterTrust, its employees, officers and
directors (the "InterTrust Parties") harmless from any and all Claims or
------------------
portions thereof to the extent awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction
or pursuant to a settlement as provided hereunder, resulting from
controversies or litigation asserted by any Person against the InterTrust
Parties arising directly or indirectly from: (i) SSG's or any of its
sublicensees' breach of any of its obligations, representations or
warranties hereunder; (ii) InterTrust's proper use of SSG Trademarks as set
forth herein; (iii) the design, manufacture, use, distribution and/or
disposition by or for SSG of Modified Technology, Cooperative Applications
or SSG Products, or performance of any service associated therewith, that
would not have otherwise arisen out of SSG's use of the InterTrust
Technology alone, except to the extent SSG is indemnified by InterTrust
under Section 13.1(a) hereof; (iv) any Claim relating to the
Indemnification Exclusions; and (v) any exercise by SSG or any of its
sublicensees of the licenses hereunder that would not have otherwise arisen
out of SSG's use of the InterTrust Technology alone, except to the extent
SSG is indemnified by InterTrust under Section 13.1(a) hereof.
(c) Third Party Claims. In case any Claim is brought by a third
party for which Claim indemnification is or may be provided hereunder the
indemnified Party shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the other
Party. Where obligated to indemnify such Claim, the indemnifying Party
shall, upon the demand and at the option of the indemnified Party, assume
the defense thereof (at the expense of the indemnifying Party) within
thirty (30) days or at least ten (10) days prior to the time a response is
due in such case, whichever occurs first, or, alternatively upon the demand
and at the option of the indemnified Party, pay to such Party all
reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by such Party in defending itself. The Parties shall
-38-
CONFIDENTIAL
cooperate reasonably with each other in the defense of any Claim,
including making available (under seal if desired, and if allowed) all
records reasonably necessary to the defense of such Claim, and the
indemnified Party shall have the right to join and participate actively
in the indemnifying Party's defense of the Claim. Notwithstanding the
foregoing (and any other section of this Agreement), it is understood and
acknowledged that InterTrust need not under any circumstance provide Top
Secret Information related to the security capabilities of InterTrust
Technology to any Person. Each Party shall be entitled to prior notice of
any settlement of any Claim to be entered into by the other Party and to
reasonable approval of a settlement to the extent such Party's rights
would be directly and materially impaired. Without limiting the
foregoing, in the event of any Claim or threatened Claim of [*] involving
a portion of the [*]: (a) upon SSG's request and at SSG's expense,
InterTrust will attempt to [*] the [*] or [*] SSG to continue to [*] and
[*] in accordance with the terms hereof such portion of [*] on [*] to
InterTrust (except that SSG may reasonably approve any terms relating to
payment of any fees or royalties); or (b) at InterTrust's sole
discretion, InterTrust may [*], [*] or [*] any [*] of the [*], as the
case may be, so as to make [*] of the [*] while maintaining [*] of [*] or
[*] of the [*] that are material to SSG's then-current or demonstrably
anticipated use of such technology. If options (a) and (b) are not [*] as
to such portion: (1) SSG may terminate the licenses granted hereunder in
its sole discretion; and (2) to the extent InterTrust used reasonable
commercial efforts to obtain a license or modify the technology as set
forth in subsections (a) or (b), and InterTrust is reasonably exposed to
liability from SSG's or its sublicensee's continued use of such portion
of InterTrust Technology, InterTrust may in its discretion terminate the
licenses granted hereunder with respect to such portion.
13.2 Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly provided herein to the
-------------------
contrary, no remedy made available to a Party by any of the provisions of this
Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise.
13.3 Equitable Remedies. Each Party agrees that it may be impossible or
------------------
inadequate to measure and calculate a Party's damages from any breach of the
covenants set forth in Sections 5.3, 5.4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 7.6,
10.1, 10.2, 15.3, 16.5 and 16.8 and Articles 8 and 11 hereof. Accordingly, each
Party agrees that if it or any of such Party's Agents thereof breach or threaten
a breach or anticipatory repudiation of any of such provisions, in addition to
any other right or remedy available, the other Party shall be entitled: (i) to
obtain an injunction against the breaching Party and such Party's Agents
thereof, from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such breach or
threatened breach; and (ii) to specific performance of any such provision of
this Agreement. In addition, each Party agrees that, in the event a Party
breaches any of its Partnering Commitments under Article 10 to the other Party,
the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies
available at law or in equity, to extend the Partnering Commitment by the
amount of time left on such period (measured from the later of the date such
breach is admitted by breaching Party or established by a final judgment
---------- * CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN
FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
-39-
CONFIDENTIAL
pursuant to which all appeal rights have been exhausted), and each Party hereby
irrevocably agrees to an award of specific performance of such provision in the
other Party's favor.
ARTICLE 14. EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES.
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING SENTENCE, NEITHER PARTY
SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY, ITS AGENTS, AFFILIATES, CUSTOMERS, OR ANY
OTHER PERSONS, FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN UNDER ARTICLES
5, 8 AND 10. NOTWITHSTANDING THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE, A PARTY SHALL
BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ALL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS,
INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY THE OTHER
PARTY IN THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES: (i) THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF TRADE SECRETS
OF THE DAMAGED PARTY BY THE LIABLE PARTY, OR ITS AGENTS; (ii) THE GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OF THE LIABLE PARTY, OR ITS AGENTS; (iii) THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR
MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT IN BAD FAITH BY THE LIABLE PARTY, OR ITS
AGENTS; OR (iv) THE BREACH OF ARTICLES 5, 8 OR 10 HEREOF. IN ANY DISPUTE AS TO
DAMAGES, THE LIABLE PARTY SHALL BE REQUIRED TO PROVE THE ABSENCE OF MATERIAL
NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AND/OR INTENTIONAL MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS
AGREEMENT IN BAD FAITH, AS THE CASE MAY BE, REFERRED TO IN THE IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING SENTENCE.
ARTICLE 15. TERM AND TERMINATION.
15.1 Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and
---------
shall continue for a period of twenty-five (25) years therefrom unless and until
terminated earlier pursuant to Section 15.2. At the end of such twenty-five (25)

to renew this Agreement prior to sixty (60) days before the beginning of the
next such one (1) year period.
15.2 Events of Termination. This Agreement, the licenses granted
---------------------
hereunder, and/or all Cooperative Application Project Plans shall be subject to
termination upon the occurrence of any of the following events and such other
provisions hereof expressly so stating (each, an "Event of Termination"):
--------------------
(a) If either Party, or, as relevant, any of its permitted
sublicensees, materially defaults on any of its material obligations under
this Agreement, the non-defaulting Party shall have the right, exercisable
in its sole discretion, to initiate a termination procedure under this
Agreement by written notice (sent in accordance with the provisions of
Section 16.6 hereof) describing with reasonable specificity the nature of
the default and requiring that such default be cured, wherein such
termination notice shall automatically result in termination unless: (i)
within sixty (60) calendar days of receiving such written notice of such
default (the "Cure Period"), the defaulting Party (or such sublicensee)
-----------
remedies the default; or (ii) in the case of a default that cannot with

-40-
CONFIDENTIAL
be cured within the Cure Period, the defaulting Party or such sublicensee
institutes, by the date upon which one half of the Cure Period shall have
expired, steps necessary to remedy the default and thereafter employs best
efforts to diligently prosecute the same to completion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Cure Period associated with SSG's breach of its payment
obligations in accordance with Section 7.1 shall be five (5) business days.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, a Party shall have the right both to
immediately terminate this Agreement and to obtain injunctive relief in the
event the other Party or any of its Agents or authorized sublicensees
engages in any: (a) intentional, material unauthorized use of technology
outside of the rights granted hereunder (or, in the case of SSG, any
unauthorized disclosure of InterTrust Top Secret Information) and/or (b)
willful, material unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information.
Further notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Closing fails to
occur on or before August 19, 1996 pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, SSG
shall be in material breach of this Agreement and InterTrust may
immediately, upon providing written notice to SSG and without opportunity
to cure, terminate this Agreement.
(b) By a Party at its option, effective immediately upon written
notice to the other Party, in the event of: (i) the filing by the other
Party of a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency; (ii) the appointment of a
receiver for the other Party for all or substantially all of its property
relevant to the business activities under this Agreement; (iii) the making
by the other Party of any assignment or attempted assignment for the
benefit of creditors for all or substantially all of its properties
relevant to its business activities under this Agreement; or (iv) the
institution of any proceedings for the liquidation or winding up of the
other Party's business or for the termination of its corporate charter, if
any such proceeding is not dismissed within one hundred and twenty (120)
days of institution;
(c) Upon written notice to SSG, InterTrust may immediately terminate
this Agreement in its sole discretion in the event SSG fails: (i) to
distribute SSG Products and/or Cooperative Applications within sixty (60)
months from the date InterTrust first delivers the SDK 1.0 to SSG, subject
to any extension permitted under Section 6.1(a); (ii) to comply with the
terms of Section 10.2 hereof; (iii) to terminate any sublicense pursuant to
which the sublicensee thereunder materially defaults its obligations under
this Agreement for a period of sixty (60) days after the date of written
notice thereof from InterTrust or SSG, whichever is earlier; or (iv) fails
to timely make payments due under this Agreement on two or more occasions
over a twelve (12) month period. Upon written notice to InterTrust, SSG may
immediately terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion in the event
InterTrust fails to comply with the terms of Section 10.1 hereof.
(d) A party to a Cooperative Application Project Plan shall have the
right to terminate such plan if the other party thereto materially breaches
any of its material obligations thereunder.
15.3 Effect of Termination. Upon the expiration or termination hereof: (i)
---------------------
all licenses granted hereunder, all sublicenses granted by SSG pursuant to
Section 5.2, and all cooperative development efforts then being conducted
pursuant to all Cooperative Application Project Plans shall automatically
terminate; (ii) InterTrust shall have the right to retain all sums already paid
by SSG (and all SSG sublicensees) hereunder, and SSG (and all SSG sublicensees)
shall pay to
-41-
CONFIDENTIAL
InterTrust all sums accrued but unpaid within thirty (30) days thereafter; and
(iii) SSG (and all SSG sublicensees) shall immediately discontinue use of
InterTrust Technology and/or the use of any portion of such InterTrust
Technology in any Modified Technology, and discontinue making, using, selling or
otherwise transferring or exploiting any product or service that in the absence
of a license hereunder would infringe any InterTrust Intellectual Property
Rights (including termination of distribution of Cooperative Applications and
SSG Products and any associated services); provided, however, that all licenses
-------- ------- ----
granted to end-users pursuant to the then-existing Customer Agreements solely
for Applications Products shall continue in full force and effect in accordance
with the terms thereof (provided that such licenses do not provide any rights to
such end-users with respect to Clearinghouse Functions, other than as expressly
provided hereunder). Each Party shall deliver to the other Party within ten (10)
days from the date of termination of this Agreement all copies of all materials
protected as confidential information or Top Secret Information under this
Agreement, including all copies under its control of its sublicensees or their
Agents. Return of confidential information shall be by commercially secure means
as reasonably specified by the receiving Party. Return of Top Secret Information
shall be made, at InterTrust's option as designated by a Designated Officer by
written instruction to SSG: (a) by physical and secure pickup at SSG's offices
by an InterTrust officer designated in writing by such Designated Officer; or
(b) as otherwise may be determined by InterTrust in its discretion, as
commercially reasonable. Such delivery shall be during normal business hours and
in each instance to the hands of an InterTrust officer who receives a listing of
the contents of such delivery certified by an officer of SSG and audited and
countersigned by such InterTrust officer. Within one (1) month after the
termination of this Agreement, each Party will certify in writing to the other
Party that, to the best of its knowledge, all such materials and tangible
embodiments have been delivered to the other Party.
15.4 Survival. The respective rights and obligations of InterTrust and SSG
--------
under the provisions of Sections 5.4, 6.5, 7.6 (but only for a period of five
years), 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 (but only provision (i) thereof), 15.3, this Section
15.4, and Articles 11, 13 and 16 hereof shall survive expiration or termination
of this Agreement. Section 10.1 shall survive termination to the extent the
Agreement is properly terminated by SSG due to a material breach of the
Agreement by InterTrust pursuant to Section 15.2(a) hereof. Sections 9.3(c) and
10.2 shall survive termination to the extent the Agreement is properly
terminated by InterTrust due to a material breach of the Agreement by SSG
pursuant to Section 15.2(a) hereof. In the event that such a termination
pursuant to Section 15.2(a) occurs prior to delivery of SDK 1.0, such Partnering
Commitment as set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, as applicable, shall run from
the Estimated date for delivery of such SDK as set forth on Exhibit B hereto as
of the Effective Date.

CONFIDENTIAL
ARTICLE 16. MISCELLANEOUS.
16.1 Governing Law. This Agreement, any and all actions arising out of or
-------------
in any manner affecting the interpretation of this Agreement, and any actions
between the Parties involving the InterTrust Technology, any InterTrust Property
and/or any Confidential or Top Secret Information ("Party Disputes") shall be
--------------
governed solely by, and construed solely in accordance with, the laws of the
United States of America and the Commonwealth of Virginia, excluding that body
of law relating to conflict of laws. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree
that the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not
apply to this Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, the provisions of this
Agreement shall supersede any provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as
adopted or made applicable to this Agreement in any competent jurisdiction.
16.2 Venue and Jurisdiction. In connection with any litigation between the
----------------------
Parties involving a Party Dispute, each Party hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue, as relevant, in
the Courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia and in the U.S. Federal District
Court, located in the City of Alexandria, Virginia (or any direct successor
thereto), and irrevocably: (i) waives any objection whatsoever (including any
objection with respect to venue) that any Party may now or hereafter have to the
jurisdiction or venue of said courts; and (ii) irrevocably consents to the
service of process of said courts in any matter relating to this Agreement by

addresses specified in this Agreement. If necessary, SSG shall appoint a
registered agent in the State of Virginia for acceptance of service of process
and/or other notices provided for under this Agreement and shall notify
InterTrust of the identity of such registered agent within thirty (30) days
after the Effective Date.
16.3 Compliance with Law and Export Controls. The Parties shall at all
---------------------------------------
times comply with all applicable U.S. and foreign federal, state, and local
laws, rules and regulations relating to the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and to the InterTrust Technology Products and Modified
Technology. Additionally, SSG acknowledges that because one or more aspects of
the InterTrust Technology Products is likely to be subject to the export control
laws, regulations and requirements of the United States and other jurisdictions,
SSG Products and Cooperative Applications likely will require export and other
approvals as well. InterTrust shall use reasonable efforts at InterTrust's
expense, and SSG shall at InterTrust's request reasonably assist InterTrust at
SSG's expense, to obtain any license or other approval, if any, that may be
required for InterTrust to make the InterTrust Technology Products and/or
Documentation or information relating thereto available to and SSG or SOFTBANK
Affiliates. SSG shall, at SSG's expense, comply with all applicable laws
(including applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations) and obtain all
necessary governmental consents and approvals in connection with any sublicense
or with respect to the distribution of or export or re-export of the SSG
Products and Cooperative Applications (as well as other technology as expressly
permitted hereunder) that contain any part of the InterTrust Technology Products
or Modified Technology in accordance herewith. The Parties expressly agree that
any failure to obtain or any delay in obtaining such approval as to InterTrust
Technology or in connection with any SSG Product or Cooperative Application
shall not relieve SSG from its obligations under this Agreement. As relevant and
applicable, SSG and InterTrust shall: (a) promptly deliver to the other, as
available, documentation reasonably confirming that it has complied with its
responsibilities under this Section 16.3; and (b) obtain such consents and
approvals from appropriate governmental entities
-43-
CONFIDENTIAL
as reasonably determined to be necessary for such further distribution,
exportation or re-exportation.
16.4 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may not be amended,
-------------------------
modified or supplemented by the Parties in any manner, except by an instrument
in writing signed by the President or Chairman of InterTrust and a duly
authorized officer of SSG.
16.5 No Assignment. Except as expressly provided in Section 5.2, SSG shall
-------------
not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder, without InterTrust's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, SSG shall be entitled to assign or transfer such
rights or obligations hereunder to a SOFTBANK Affiliate in connection with any
merger or sale of substantially all of SSG's assets or business related to this
Agreement to such SOFTBANK Affiliate without such InterTrust consent; provided
--------
that such SOFTBANK Affiliate does not own, control, or is not developing,
----
promoting, licensing or acquiring any Competitive Technology. InterTrust shall
not assign or transfer this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder to
any Person without SSG's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, InterTrust shall be
entitled to assign or transfer such rights or obligations hereunder in
connection with any merger or sale of substantially all of assets or business
related to this Agreement without such SSG consent. Subject to the foregoing,
this Agreement will benefit and bind the successors and permitted assigns of the
Parties. Any attempted transfer or assignment without such approval shall be
null and void ab initio and of no force or effect.
-- ------
16.6 Notices. Any notice or other communication to be given hereunder
-------
shall be in writing and shall be (as elected by the Party giving such notice):
(i) personally delivered; (ii) transmitted by postage prepaid registered or
certified airmail, return receipt requested; or (iii) by facsimile with a
confirmation copy deposited prepaid with an internationally recognized express

the date of such refusal) if delivered personally or by express courier; or (b)
ten (10) days after the date of posting if transmitted by mail. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, communication of Confidential Information or Top Secret
Information shall be governed by practices adequate to appropriately protect

16.7 Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived by the Party
------
entitled to the benefit thereof. Neither Party shall be deemed, by any act or

then only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. A waiver with
reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or
waiver of any right or remedy as to a subsequent event.
16.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing express or implied in this
----------------------------
Agreement is intended to confer, nor shall anything herein confer, upon any
Customer or any Person other than the Parties and any respective successors or
permitted assigns of the Parties, any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted
by law, SSG grants InterTrust the right to enforce against any of SSG's
sublicenses the terms of the applicable sublicenses or agreements between SSG
and its sublicensees for the purpose of asserting SSG's rights in order to
protect and enforce InterTrust's rights to InterTrust Property and any other
InterTrust rights under this Agreement.
16.9 No Agency. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute
---------
the Parties hereto as partners or joint venturers or the agent of the other
Party in any sense of those terms whatsoever. Neither Party assumes any
liability of the other Party nor shall have any authority to enter into any
binding obligation on behalf of the other Party.
16.10 Recovery of Costs and Expenses. If any Party to this Agreement
------------------------------
brings an action against the other Party to enforce its rights under this
Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and
expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.
16.11 Severability. If the application of any provision or provisions of
------------
this Agreement to any particular facts or circumstances shall be held to be
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then: (i) the
validity and enforceability of such provision or provisions as applied to any
other particular facts or circumstances and the validity of other provisions of
this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii)
such provision or provisions shall be reformed without further action by the
Parties hereto and only to the extent necessary to make such provision or
provisions valid and enforceable when applied to such particular facts and
circumstances.
-45-
CONFIDENTIAL
16.12 Counterparts; Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed in any
------------------------
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. Each Party shall receive a duplicate original of the
counterpart copy or copies executed by it. For purposes hereof, a facsimile copy
of this Agreement, including the signature pages hereto, shall be deemed to be
an original. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall deliver original
execution copies of this Agreement to one another as soon as practicable
following execution thereof.
16.13 Force Majeure. Except as provided herein to the contrary, if, by
-------------
reason of labor dispute, strike, inability to obtain labor or materials, fire or
other action of the elements, accident, administrative or governmental
restriction or appropriation or other causes, whether like or unlike the
foregoing, beyond the reasonable control of a Party hereto, such Party is unable
to perform in whole or in part its obligations set forth in this Agreement, then
such Party shall be relieved of those obligations to the extent it is so unable
to perform, and such inability to perform, so caused, shall not make such Party
liable to the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any such
cause delays either Party's performance of any of its material obligations under
this Agreement, the other Party may suspend its performance under this Agreement
for the period such delay continues. This Agreement may be terminated by notice
by the Party not seeking excuse from performance, if such event shall prevent
performance for longer than one hundred and twenty (120) days. The Party subject
to an event of force majeure shall use good faith efforts to comply as closely
as possible with the provisions of this Agreement and to avoid the effects of
such event to the extent possible.
16.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement of
----------------
the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
and/or contemporaneous agreements and understandings, written or oral between
the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (except as set forth in

difference between the Maximum Number and the Series A Portion and (4) if the
Holders of Series A Registrable Securities (including the Lead Series A
Investor) elect to include in such underwriting a number of their Registrable
Securities which is less than the Maximum Number, the Holders of Other Series
Registrable Securities joining in the Request shall be entitled to include in
such underwriting their pro-rata share of Other Series Registrable Securities up
to that number of shares equal to the difference between the Maximum Number and
the total number of shares that the Holders of Series A Registrable Securities
(including the Lead Series A Investor) elect to include in such underwriting.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, (x) a Holder's "pro-rata share of Series
A Registrable Securities" shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing the
number of Series A Registrable Securities held by such Holder by the sum of all
of the Series A Registrable Securities held by the Initiating Holders (if
different than the Lead Series A Investor) and those Holders of Series A
Registrable Securities (other than the Lead Series A Investor) joining in the
Request and (y) a Holder's "pro-rata share of the Other Series Registrable
Securities" shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing the number of Other
Series Registrable Securities held by such Holder by the sum of all of the Other
Series Registrable Securities held by the Initiating Holders and those Holders
of Other Series Registrable Securities joining in the Request. No Registrable
Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the Managing
Underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included in such underwriting. To
facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the
Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any
Holder to the nearest 100 shares. If any Holder declines to participate upon
review of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Company, the Managing Underwriter and the
Initiating Holders. The Registrable Securities and/or other securities so
withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration, and such Registrable
Securities shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 180 days
after the effective date of such registration, or such other shorter period of
time as the underwriters may require. If the underwriter has not limited the
number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, or if Holders have elected
to include less than the Maximum Number in such underwriting, the Company may
include securities for its own account (or for the account of other
stockholders) in such registration if the Managing Underwriter so agrees and if
the number of Registrable Securities that would otherwise have been included in
such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
-12-
(iii) The Company shall pay the Expenses of Registration
for one (1) registration requested pursuant to this Section 4.1(b).
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the event that the
Company is obligated to effect an additional registration pursuant to the
proviso to Section 4.1(b)(2)(D), then the Company shall pay the Expenses of
Registration for two (2) registrations requested pursuant to this Section
4.1(b).
(c) Company Registration.
--------------------
(i) Notice of Registration. If (but without any obligation
----------------------
to do so) at any time after the Initial Public Offering the Company proposes to
register any of its Common Stock or other securities under the Act in connection
with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a
registration relating either to the sale of securities to participants in a
Company stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or to an SEC Rule 145
transaction, or a registration on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or any successors to such
forms, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice
of such registration. Upon the written request of any Holder given within twenty
(20) days from receipt of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section
8.6, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.1(c)(ii) and
4.1(d), cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities
that each such Holder has requested to be registered.
(ii) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any
-------------------------
offering pursuant to this Section 4.1(c), the Company shall not be required to
include any of the Holders' securities in such underwriting unless they accept
the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the
underwriters selected by it, and then only in such quantity as will not, in the
opinion of the underwriters, adversely affect the success of the offering by the
Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters reasonably
believe would not adversely affect the success of the offering, then the Company
shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such
securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters believe
will not adversely affect the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned first to the Company, then second pro rata among the
selling Holders of Series A Registrable Securities according to the total amount
of Series A Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder, then third pro
rata among the selling Holders of Other Series Registrable Securities according
to the total amount of Other Series Registrable Securities owned by each selling
Holder and then fourth to all other selling stockholders, or in such other
proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such parties), it being
understood that all Registrable Securities may be excluded from the registration
on this basis. For any selling stockholder which is a holder of Registrable
Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired
partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates and family members of
any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of
the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling stockholder," and
any pro rata reduction with respect to such "selling stockholder" shall be based
upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all entities and
individuals included in such "selling stockholder," as defined in this sentence.
-13-
(iii) The Company shall pay the Expenses of
Registration for two (2) registrations requested pursuant to this Section
4.1(c).
(d) Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent
-------------------
to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section
4.1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such
Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the
Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder's
Registrable Securities.
(e) Expenses of Registration. The term "Expenses of
------------------------
Registration" means all expenses other than underwriting discounts and
commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to this Section 4.1, including (without limitation), all registration,
filing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company. Expenses of Registration does not
include the fees and disbursements of counsel for the selling Holders.
(f) No Delay of Registration No Holder shall have any right
------------------------
to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such
registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to
the interpretation or implementation of this Section 4.1.
(g) Indemnification In the event any Registrable Securities
---------------
are included in a registration statement under this Section 4.1:
(i) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Series B Registrable Securities, any
underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who
controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), against any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may
become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) that arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement
of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments
or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law;
and the Company will pay, as incurred, to each such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person, to the extent (and only to the extent) that such losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities arise out of a Violation, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant
to this Section 4.1(g) in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 4.1(g) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
-14-
liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Company, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.
(ii) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder
of Series B Registrable Securities will indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration
statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such
registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or
other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the
Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent)
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration;
and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this
Section 4.1(g)(ii), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 4.1(g)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder. Nothing contained in
this Section 4.1(g)(ii) is intended to preclude the underwriters in any offering
from requiring broader indemnities from the Holders participating in such
offering.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 4.1 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4.1, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain separate counsel of its own, with the reasonable fees
and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such
indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding; provided further that the indemnifying party shall not be
responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all
indemnified parties. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if
prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
4.1 (to the extent of such prejudicial effect), but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.1.
-15-
(iv) No indemnifying party, in the defense of any claim
arising out of a Violation shall, except with the consent of each indemnified
party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect
to such claim or litigation and, in the event the terms of such judgment or
settlement include any term other than the payment by the indemnifying party of
money damages, the indemnifying party shall not so consent or enter into such a
settlement without the consent of each indemnified party (which will not be
unreasonably withheld) whether or not the terms thereof include such a release.
(v) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
Section 4.1 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration statement under this Section 4.1, and otherwise.
(h) Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive
---------------------
from any Holder or Holders a written request that the Company effect a
registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with
respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or
Holders, the Company will:
(i) Promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders;
and
(ii) As soon as practicable, effect such registration and
all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would
permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such
Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request,
together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other
Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request
given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company in accordance with Section 8.6; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or
compliance, pursuant to this Section 4.1(h):
(1) If Form S-3 is not available for such offering
by the Holders;
(2) Unless the Holders, together with the holders of
any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration,
propose to sell either (x) Registrable Securities having an aggregate price to
the public (net of any underwriters' discounts and commissions) in excess of
$2,000,000; or (y) not less than 15% of the Registrable Securities then
outstanding;
(3) If the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in
the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company for such Form S-3 registration to be
effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer
the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than
120 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this
-16-
Section 4.1(h); provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right
more than once in any twelve (12) month period;
(4) If the Company has completed its Initial Public
Offering within 180 days of the Company's receipt of the request for the Form S-
3 registration; or
(5) In any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general
consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or
compliance.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) registrations
pursuant to this Section 4.1(h), and no more than one (1) such registration in
any twelve (12) month period.
(iv) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities
so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the
request or requests of the Holders. The Company shall pay the Expenses of
Registration for two (2) registrations requested pursuant to this Section
4.1(h). Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 4.1(h) shall not be
counted as registrations effected pursuant to Sections 4.1 (b) or (c).
(i) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
---------------------------------
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1 may only
be assigned by a Holder to a transferee who acquires all of such Holder's
shares, provided the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer,
furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee; and
provided, further, that such assignment shall be effective only if immediately
following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, a Purchaser may assign the rights to cause the
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1 to an
investment fund or funds managed by it (a "Permitted Fund Transferee") which
acquires less than all of the Purchaser's shares if prior to such assignment and
transfer, the Purchaser submits to the Company an irrevocable, joint and several
undertaking for the benefit of the Company executed by the Purchaser and the
Permitted Fund Transferee(s) to exercise all of their rights to register
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1 in tandem, in a manner
consistent with holding such rights as a group and exclusively represented on
all matters arising under this Agreement by a single Purchaser or Permitted Fund
Transferee appointed in such undertaking by the other parties thereto.
(j) "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Purchaser hereby agrees
---------------------------
that during the 180 day period following the effective date of each of (i) a
registration statement of the Company filed under the Act in connection with the
Initial Public Offering and (ii) the registration statement filed under the Act
with respect to an underwritten offering of Common Stock (or securities which
are immediately convertible at the option of the holder or convertible within
twelve (12) months from the date of issuance into Common Stock) after the
Initial Public Offering, it shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer
or dispose of any capital stock of the
-17-
Company held by it at any time during such period except to the extent such
Purchaser participates as a selling stockholder in such registrations. To
enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Purchaser (and
the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing
restriction) until the end of such period. Each Holder agrees to execute the
form of such market stand-off agreement as may be reasonably requested by the
underwriters.
(k) Termination or Amendment of Registration Rights. The
-----------------------------------------------
registration rights granted under this Section 4.1 may be terminated, waived or
amended with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of 66% of the
Series B Registrable Securities then outstanding. In addition, no Holder of
Series B Registrable Securities shall be entitled to exercise any right provided
for in this Agreement (a) after four (4) years following the closing of the
Initial Public Offering or (b) at such time following the Initial Public
Offering and for so long as such Holder may sell all of such Holder's Series B
Registrable Securities in any ninety (90) day period pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or
such successor rule as may be adopted).
(l) Registration Rights of Holders of Series A Registrable
------------------------------------------------------
Securities. The rights granted to the Holders of Series B Registrable Securities
----------
in Sections 4.1(b), 4.1(c) and 4.1(h) of this Agreement to have Series B
Registrable Securities owned by them registered shall be subject to the rights
granted to the Holders of Series A Registrable Securities in Sections 4.1(b),
4.1(c) and 4.1(h) of the Series A Preferred Stock Agreement to have Series A
Registrable Securities owned by them registered.
4.2 Restriction on Transfer; Right of First Refusal.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) Restriction on Transfer. Neither any Purchaser nor any
-----------------------
transferee of any Purchaser shall sell or transfer in any manner any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock purchased hereunder (or any shares of the Class A
Voting Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be
converted) to any person or entity engaged in, or reasonably anticipated by the
Company to become engaged in, the business of providing electronic commerce
solutions or related technology (a "Restricted Party"). A Purchaser or any
transferee of any Purchaser may request that the Company waive the restriction
on the sale or transfer of shares described in the preceding sentence to a
Restricted Party as to a particular, proposed sale or transfer, but the Company
shall have no obligation to waive such restriction on the sale or transfer of
any such shares to any Restricted Party.
(b) Right of First Refusal. In the event, at any time after the
----------------------
date of this Agreement, any Purchaser or its transferee desires to sell or
transfer in any manner any shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased
hereunder (or any shares of the Class A Voting Common Stock into which such
shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been converted) to a person or entity
which is not a Restricted Party, it shall first offer such shares for sale to
the Company at substantially the same price, and upon substantially the same
terms (or terms as similar as reasonably possible) upon which it is proposing or
is to dispose of such shares; provided that a Purchaser may transfer all or part
of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or any shares of the Class A Voting
Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock
-18-
have been converted) to a Permitted Fund Transferee or Transferees without first
making such offer to the Company. Said right of first refusal shall be provided
to the Company for a period of fifteen (15) days following receipt by the
Company of written notice (the "Proposed Transfer Notice") by the Purchaser of
the terms and conditions of said proposed sale or transfer and the name, address
and phone number of each proposed buyer or transferee. The Company may exercise
such right of first refusal as to all, or some portion which is less than all,
of the shares proposed to be transferred by notifying the Purchaser in writing
within such fifteen day period, and paying such Purchaser within thirty (30)
days following receipt by the Company of the Proposed Transfer Notice the
relevant consideration therefor. If the Company and its assigns do not complete
the purchase of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or any shares of the Class A
Voting Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been
converted) identified in the Proposed Transfer Notice within thirty (30) days
following receipt by the Company of the Proposed Transfer Notice, the Purchaser
may sell or transfer such shares in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice to the person or entity identified in the
Proposed Transfer Notice. If the Purchaser desires to sell or transfer in any
manner such shares either (i) upon terms and conditions which are different than
those specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice or to a person or entity other
than the person or entity identified in the Proposed Transfer Notice or (ii)
more than sixty (60) days after the Company's receipt of the Proposed Transfer
Notice, then the Purchaser shall comply with the provisions of this Section
4.2(b) again prior to effecting any such sale or transfer.
(c) Assignment. The Company may assign the rights granted to it
----------
pursuant to this Section 4.2 in whole or in part to any stockholder or
stockholders of the Company or other persons or organizations.
(d) Restrictions Binding on Transferees. All transferees of
-----------------------------------
shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement, shares of the Class A Voting Common
Stock issued upon the conversion of such shares or any interest therein will
receive and hold such shares or interest subject to the provisions of this
Section 4.2.
(e) Termination of Right of First Refusal. The right of first
-------------------------------------
refusal granted the Company in Section 4.2(b) shall terminate upon consummation
of the Initial Public Offering, with such termination retroactive to the
effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the Initial Public
Offering.
4.3 Mergers and Other Extraordinary Transactions.
--------------------------------------------
(a) Agreement. Each Purchaser shall either (i) take all actions
---------
necessary to vote all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock (and all shares of
the Class A Voting Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred
Stock may be converted) owned or held of record by such Purchaser at any annual
or special meeting of the Company (or by written consent in lieu of such
meeting) held for the approval of any merger, consolidation or sale or exchange
of all or substantially all of the Company's assets which has been approved by
the Board of Directors in favor of any such merger, consolidation or sale or
exchange of all or substantially all of the Company's assets and all
transactions and other matters incident thereto
-19-
or (ii) refrain from taking any action with respect to any merger, consolidation
or sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company's assets which
has been approved by each of the Board of Directors and the majority of the
outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon which prevents,
restricts or otherwise inhibits such merger, consolidation or sale or exchange
of all or substantially all of the Company's assets from being accorded pooling
accounting treatment. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence, the Purchaser agrees to refrain from asserting any appraisal
rights that it may have as a consequence of any transaction described in the
immediately preceding sentence if such assertion of appraisal rights would
prevent, restrict or otherwise inhibit such transaction from being accorded
pooling accounting treatment.
(b) Agreement Binding on Transferees. All transferees of shares
--------------------------------
purchased pursuant to this Agreement, shares of the Class A Voting Common Stock
issued upon the conversion of such shares or any interest therein will receive
and hold such shares or interest subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3.
(c) Termination of Agreement. The agreement of this Section 4.3
------------------------
shall terminate at the earlier of (i) consummation of the Initial Public
Offering or (ii) ten (10) years from the Closing Date.
4.4 Financial Information.
---------------------
(a) Annual and Quarterly Information. The Company will mail the
--------------------------------
following reports to each Purchaser for so long as such Purchaser is a holder
(or such Purchaser and a Permitted Fund Transferee or Transferees are the
collective holders) of at least eighty (80%) percent of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock purchased by such person hereunder (or shares of Class A Voting
Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock):
(i) As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal
year, and in any event within 120 days thereafter, audited consolidated balance
sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such fiscal
year, and consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of changes
in financial position and consolidated statements of stockholders' equity of the
Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such year, prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and setting forth in each case
in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year; and
(ii) As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal
quarter in each fiscal year of the Company and in any event within 60 days
thereafter, an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its
subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of each such quarter, and unaudited
consolidated statements of income, unaudited consolidated statements of cash
flow and unaudited consolidated statements of stockholders' equity of the
Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such period and for the current fiscal
year to date, prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments).

------------------------
this Section 4.4 shall terminate upon consummation of the Initial Public
Offering, with such termination retroactive to the effectiveness of the
registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering.
4.5 Confidentiality. Each Purchaser shall maintain in strictest
---------------
confidence all financial information furnished to it by the Company pursuant to
Section 4.4 or otherwise and shall not use any of such financial information for
any purpose other than monitoring its equity investment in the Company. All
transferees of shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement, shares of the Class
A Voting Common Stock issued upon the conversion of such shares or any interest
therein will receive and hold such shares or interest subject to the provisions
of this Section 4.5.

1. On February 28, 1996 the Company received a letter from E-Data
Corp. drawing the Company's attention to Patent No. 4,528,643 and
alleging the need for the Company to obtain a license with respect
to such patent. Upon review of the materials submitted with the
February 28, 1996 letter, the Company believes that the claims made
therein are based upon incorrect assumptions and premature and the
Company so advised E-Data Corp. by letter dated March 12, 1996. As

the Company's attention to U.S. Trademark Reg. No. 1,666,495 of DI
for DIGIBOARD (R) and, among other things, requesting that the
Company cease any planned use of the name DIGIBOX. The

Company has initiated a dialogue with counsel to DI and believes
that the demand and claims in the June 26, 1996 letter are
unjustified.

INTERTRUST TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
Class B Common Stock Warrant
August ____, 1996
THIS CERTIFIES THAT for value received, and subject to the provisions
and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Upgrade Corporation of
America (the "Holder") is entitled to subscribe for and purchase shares (the
"Shares") of Class B Common Stock of InterTrust Technologies Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a price per share of $50.00, which
price may be reduced to $12.86 per share pursuant to the terms below (such price
and such other price as shall result, from time to time, from adjustments
specified below is referred to herein as the "Warrant Price"). The term "Grant
Date" shall mean the date set forth above.
1. Voluntary Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in full or in
------------------
part at any time or from time to time after the seven-year anniversary of the
Grant Date (the "Exercise Date") at a per share price of $50.00; provided,
however, that this Warrant may be exercised prior to the Exercise Date upon the
earlier to occur of the following events: (i) the Holder (alone or in
combination with other affiliates of Softbank Holding Ltd.) expends an aggregate
of $3,000,000 to develop, promote and market compliant electronic clearinghouse
technology and services using the Company's technology pursuant to the
Technology Development and License Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the
"Technology License") whereby such development, promotion or marketing activity
is specifically directed toward clearinghouse transactions involving the
original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") and independent software vendor ("ISV")
markets, and such aggregate amount is expended by the Holder within twenty-four
(24) months of the date the Company provides its SDK 1.0 product to the Holder
under the Technology License; or (ii) the Holder executes agreements with ten
(10) of its largest thirty (30) ISV and/or OEM customers (measured, consistent
with the Holder's practices, according to the
CONFIDENTIAL
Holder's revenue generated by such customers) to incorporate capabilities that
enable DigiBox creation and use within software programs produced by such
customers (and wherein such agreements can be publicly announced by the Holder
and the Company) (each of (i) and (ii) of this Paragraph 1 being referred to
herein as an "Early Exercise Event"). Upon the occurrence of an Early Exercise
Event, this Warrant shall be exercisable (a) at a price per share of $12.86
(subject to adjustment provided herein), and (b) for a period of 24 months after
the later of (x) the Early Exercise Event or (y) the consummation by the Company
of an IPO (as hereinafter defined) after which time this Warrant shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Holder's right to exercise this Warrant at the Warrant Price of $12.86 is
subject to Holder's continued commitment to the exploitation of the InterTrust
Technology, by Holder: (i) performing clearing services primarily for
transactions related to and/or derived from use of SSG Products (as defined in
the Technology License) or performed pursuant to the Clearinghouse Function
license granted in the Technology License; and (ii) refraining from: (a)
developing, promoting, or acquiring any technology directly competitive with
InterTrust Special Advanced Technologies or InterTrust Secure Container
technology (as such terms are defined in Exhibit F and Article 1, respectively,
of the Technology License) (the "Competitive Technology"); and (b) licensing
Competitive Technology, other than as necessary for clearing transactions
(collectively the "InterTrust Commitment").
2. Termination. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 above, this Warrant
-----------
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earlier of: (i)
the ten (10) year anniversary of the Grant Date; (ii) at the sole discretion of
the Company, upon the consummation of an underwritten public offering of the
Company's equity securities pursuant to a registration statement (an "IPO")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), in which case this
Warrant shall be exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO at
a Warrant Price equal to the lower of $12.86 or the IPO Price (the "IPO Price"
shall be the initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with
respect to the IPO); and (iii) at the sole discretion of the Company, upon the
closing of (a) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or (b)
the merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation whereby the
Company's stockholders immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will
hold less than 50% of the outstanding securities of the surviving corporation
immediately following such merger or consolidation (such sale, merger or
consolidation shall be referred to herein as a "Sale of the Company"), in which
case this Warrant shall be exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of
the Sale of the Company at a Warrant Price equal to the lower of $12.86 or the
value received for each share of Class B Common Stock in the Sale of the Company
(the "Sale Price"); provided, however that holder's right to exercise this
Warrant under subparagraphs 2(ii) and 2(iii) above at either Warrant Price is
subject to Holder's prior continuous InterTrust Commitment. If Holder (i)
exercises this Warrant at either the IPO Price or the Sale Price and (ii) has
not previously satisfied either Early Exercise Event, or within twenty-four (24)
months of the date the Company provides its SDK 1.0 product to the Holder under
the Technology License fails to satisfy either Early Exercise Event, then Holder
shall immediately remit to the Company or, in the case of the Sale of the
Company, to the successor company, an amount equal to the following:
If this Warrant is exercised in connection with an IPO, the amount
equal to the product of multiplying (x) and (y) where:
CONFIDENTIAL
(x)=the number of shares received upon exercise of this Warrant; and
(y)=the difference between $12.86 and the IPO Price.
If this Warrant is exercised in connection with a Sale of the Company,
the amount equal to the product of multiplying (x) and (y) where:
(x)=the number of shares received upon exercise of this Warrant; and
(y)=the difference between $12.86 and the Sale Price.
3. Number of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
----------------
set forth, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant, to purchase
One Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Five Hundred Eight (155,508) shares of Class B
Common Stock from the Company.
4. Method of Exercise; Net Issue Exercise.
--------------------------------------
a. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. The
----------------------------------------------------
purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in
whole or in part, from time to time at the election of the Holder, by the
surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as
Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the
---------
payment to the Company, by check, of an amount equal to the then applicable
Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased.
A new warrant for the remaining purchase rights will be issued if the Warrant is
exercised in part. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s)
representing Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder(s) of, the shares represented thereby (and such
shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of
business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the
event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates
for the shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder as soon as
possible and in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice and,
unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new warrant
representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder as
soon as possible and in any event within such thirty (30)-day period.
b. Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant
------------------
pursuant to subparagraph 4(a) above and subject to the Company's prior written
consent, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election in
which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Shares computed
using the following formula:
X=Y(A-B)
------
A
Where: X= The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.
3
CONFIDENTIAL
Y= the number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (or the
portion thereof being canceled) at the time of such
exercise.
A= the fair market value of one share of Class B Common Stock
at the time of such exercise.
B= Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
For purposes of this subparagraph 4(b), the fair market value of the Class B
Common Stock shall be determined as follows:
(i) if this Warrant is exercised prior to an initial
public offering of the Company's Common Stock, the fair market value of the
Class B Common Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors;
(ii) if the exercise is in connection with an initial
public offering of the Company's Common Stock, and if the Company's registration
statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), then the fair market value per share
shall be the initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with
respect to the offering; or
(iii) if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in
connection with, the Company's initial public offering, and:
(a) if traded on a securities exchange, the fair
market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing
prices over the ten (10) day trading period immediately preceding
three days before the day the current fair market value of the
securities is being determined; or
(b) if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair
market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid
and asked prices quoted on the Nasdaq system (or similar system)
over the ten (10) day trading period immediately preceding three
days before the day the current fair market value of the
securities is being determined.
5. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Shares that may be
---------------------------------------
issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall, upon
issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the
rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all
times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of
the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of
Class B Common Stock to provide for their exercise of the right represented by
this Warrant.
6. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and
-----------------------------------------------
kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events as follows:
CONFIDENTIAL
a. Reclassification. In case of any reclassification, change or
----------------
conversion of Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par
value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), the Company
shall execute a new Warrant (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder,
as the holder of this Warrant) providing that the Holder shall have the right to
exercise such new Warrant and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each
share of Class B Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and
property receivable upon such reclassification or change by a holder of one
share of Class B Common Stock. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments
that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Paragraph 6. The provisions of this subparagraph 6(a)
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or changes.
b. Subdivisions or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any
-------------------------------------
time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or
combine its Class B Common Stock, the Warrant Price and the number of shares of
Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof shall be proportionately
adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price of this Warrant shall at all
times remain equal.
c. Dividends. If the Company at any time prior to the
---------
expiration of this Warrant shall pay a dividend with respect to the Company's
Class B Common Stock payable in shares of Class B Common Stock, or make any
distribution with respect to the Company's Class B Common Stock, then the
purchase price per share shall be appropriately decreased, and the number of
Shares shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such dividend.
d. Merger or Consolidation. Subject to Paragraph 2 above, upon
-----------------------
a Sale of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation,
as the case may be, shall execute a new Warrant (in form and substance
satisfactory to the Holder) providing that the HOlder shall have the right to
exercise such new Warrant and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each
share of Class B Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and
property receivable upon such merger or consolidation by a holder of one share
of Class B Common Stock. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Paragraph 6. The provisions of this subparagraph 6(d) shall
similarly apply to successive mergers and consolidations.
e. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
-------------
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Paragraph 6 and in the taking of
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
rights of the Holder as the holder of this Warrant against impairment.
CONFIDENTIAL
f. Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the
----------------------
Company of a record of its stockholders for the purpose of determining
stockholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend (other than a
cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any share of any class or any other securities or property, or
to receive any other right, or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder, as the holder of the
Warrant, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice
specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right.
g. Automatic Conversion. Upon the consummation of an IPO, each
---------------------
share issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall automatically convert into one
share (subject to stock splits and combinations as permitted by this Warrant) of
the securities issued in the IPO.
7. Notice of Adjustments. Whatever the Warrant Price shall be
---------------------
adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall within twenty (20)
days of such adjustment deliver a certificate signed by its chief financial
officer to the Holder as the registered holder hereof setting forth, in a
reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the
adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant
Price after giving effect to such adjustment.
8. Right of First Refusal: Restriction on Transfer.
------------------------------------------------
x. Xxxxx. The Company is hereby granted the right of first
-----
refusal (the "First Refusal Right"), exercisable in connection with any proposed
transfer of the shares. For purposes of this Paragraph 8, the term "transfer"
shall include any sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition for
value of the shares intended to be made by the Holder; provided, however, that
the Holder may transfer any Shares to an investment fund or funds managed by
Holder or an affiliate of Holder (a "Permitted Transferee"), and provided that
Holder submits to the Company an irrevocable joint and several undertaking for
the benefit of the Company executed by the Holder or an affiliate of Holder and
the Permitted Transferee(s) that Holder or an affiliate of Holder may represent
the Permitted Transferee(s) on all matters related to the Shares, without first
making such an offer to the Company.
b. Notice of Intended Disposition. In the event the Holder
-----------------------------
desires to accept a bona fide third-party offer for any or all of the shares
(the shares subject to such offer to be hereinafter call the "Target Shares"),
Holder shall promptly deliver to the Corporate Secretary of the Company written
notice (the "Disposition NOtice") in accordance with this Warrant of the terms
and conditions of the offer, including the purchase price and the identity of
the third-party offeror.
c. Exercise of Right. The Company (or its assignees) shall, for
-----------------
a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of the Disposition Notice, have
the right to repurchase all but not less than all of the Target Shares specified
in the Disposition Notice upon substantially the same terms and conditions
specified therein. Such right shall be exercisable by delivery of written
notice (the "Exercise Notice") in accordance with this Warrant to Holder prior
to the
CONFIDENTIAL
expiration of the thirty (30) day exercise period. If the First Refusal Right
is exercised with respect to the Target Shares specified in the Disposition
Notice, then the Company (or its assignees) shall effect the repurchase of the
Target Shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than fifteen
(15) business days after delivery of the Exercise Notice; and at such time
Holder shall deliver to the Company the certificates representing the Target
Shares to be repurchased, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.

without the express written authorization of a Designated InterTrust Officer.
Recipient agrees to notify InterTrust promptly in writing of any unauthorized
disclosure or other misuse or misappropriation of the InterTrust Top Secret
Information which may come to Recipient's attention.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient shall be entitled to disclose
Top Secret Information pursuant to a court order issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction or as otherwise required by law; provided that Recipient shall
provide prompt advance notice thereof to InterTrust to enable InterTrust to seek
a protective order or otherwise prevent such disclosure and shall disclose no
more than the minimum information required by such court order or by law.

in such court, the Commonwealth courts in Alexandria, Virginia. The parties
consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such court and
waive any argument that jurisdiction or venue in such court is improper or
inconvenient.
6. Severability. If any provision or portion thereof in this Agreement shall
be found or be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
in which this Agreement is being performed, then this Agreement shall
nevertheless be given full force and effect without said provision or portion.
7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
----------------
Recipient and InterTrust regarding the InterTrust Top Secret Information
disclosed hereunder and supersedes all oral or written agreements, either
entered prior to or contemporaneously with this Agreement, concerning the

----------
Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, their
successors and assigns.

obtain an injunction against him or her, from a court of competent jurisdiction
restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any

to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent such disclosure and shall
disclose no more than the minimum information required by such court order or by
law.
6. If any provision or portion thereof in this Agreement shall be found or be
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction in which this Agreement is being performed,
then this Agreement shall nevertheless be given full force and effect without
said provision or portion. This Agreement may not be modified except by written
agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both
