Page 4

portion of the Prosecution History File remains under Seller’s possession or control after Closing, it is not disclosed to any third party unless (a) disclosure is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all appropriate appeals to prevent disclosure have been exhausted, and (b) Seller gave Purchaser prompt notice upon learning that any third party sought or intended to seek a court order requiring the disclosure of any such portion of the Prosecution History File. In addition, Seller will continue to prosecute, maintain, and defend the Patents at its sole expense until the Closing.

5.2 Payment of Fees. Seller will pay any maintenance fees, annuities, and the like due or payable on the Patents until the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall pay any maintenance fees for which the fee is payable (e.g., the fee payment window opens) on or prior to the Closing even if the surcharge date or final deadline for payment of such fee would be after the Closing. Seller hereby gives Purchaser power-of-attorney to (a) execute documents in the name of Seller in order to effectuate the recordation of the transfers of any portion of the Patents in an governmental filing office in the world and (b) instruct legal counsel to take steps to pay maintenance fees and annuities that Seller declines to pay and to make filings on behalf of Seller prior to Closing and otherwise preserve the assets through Closing.

5.3 Foreign Assignments. To the extent the Patents include non-United States patents and patent applications, Seller will deliver to Purchaser’s representatives executed documents in a form as may be required in the non-U.S jurisdiction in order to perfect the assignment to Purchaser of the non-U.S. patents and patent applications.

5.4 Pre-existing Royalty Agreement. Purchaser shall not be liable for any obligations under the pre-existing Royalty Agreement between Irvine Sensors Corporation and Floyd Eide with the effective date of February 4, 2003.

6. Representations and Warranties of Seller

Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows that, as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing:

6.1 Authority. Seller is a company duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Seller has the full power and authority and has obtained all third party consents, approvals, and/or other authorizations required to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the assignment of the Assigned Patent Rights to Purchaser.

6.2 Title and Contest. Seller owns all right, title, and interest to the Assigned Patent Rights, including, without limitation, all right, title, and interest to sue for infringement of the Patents. Seller has obtained and properly recorded previously executed assignments for the Patents as necessary to fully perfect its rights and title therein in accordance with governing law and regulations in each respective jurisdiction. As of Closing, the Assigned Patent Rights are free and clear of all liens, claims, mortgages, security

Page 5

interests or other encumbrances, and restrictions. There are no actions, suits, investigations, claims, or proceedings threatened, pending, or in progress relating in any way to the Assigned Patent Rights. There are no existing contracts, agreements, options, commitments, proposals, bids, offers, or rights with, to, or in any person to acquire any of the Assigned Patent Rights.

6.3 Existing Licenses and Obligations. There is no obligation imposed by a standards-setting organization to license any of the Patents on particular terms or conditions. Except for the Seller License and the non-exclusive licenses listed on Exhibit G, no licenses under the Patents have been granted or retained by Seller, any prior owners, or inventors. After Closing, except for the Seller License, none of Seller, any prior owner, or any inventor will retain any rights or interest in the Assigned Patent Rights. None of the licenses or rights in the Patents listed on Exhibit G is an exclusive grant or right and, except as expressly noted on Exhibit G, each such license is nontransferable and nonsublicensable. Except as set forth on Exhibit G, none of the licenses listed on Exhibit G have been assigned or sublicensed and no further licenses have been granted by any sublicensees.

6.4 Restrictions on Rights. Purchaser will not be subject to any covenant not to sue or similar restrictions on its enforcement or enjoyment of the Assigned Patent Rights or the Abandoned Assets as a result of any prior transaction related to the Assigned Patent Rights or the Abandoned Assets.

6.5 Validity and Enforceability. None of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets (other than Abandoned Assets for which abandonment resulted solely from unpaid fees and/or annuities) have ever been found invalid, unpatentable, or unenforceable for any reason in any administrative, arbitration, judicial or other proceeding, and Seller does not know of and has not received any notice or information of any kind from any source suggesting that the Patents may be invalid, unpatentable, or unenforceable. If any of the Patents are terminally disclaimed to another patent or patent application, all patents and patent applications subject to such terminal disclaimer are included in this transaction. To the extent “small entity” fees were paid to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for any Patent, such reduced fees were then appropriate because the payor qualified to pay “small entity” fees at the time of such payment and specifically had not licensed rights in the any Patent to an entity that was not a “small entity.”

6.6 Conduct. None of Seller, any prior owner or their respective agents or representatives have engaged in any conduct, or omitted to perform any necessary act, the result of which would invalidate any of the Patents or hinder their enforcement, including, without limitation, misrepresenting the Patents to a standard-setting organization.

6.7 Enforcement. Seller has not put a third party on notice of actual or potential infringement of any of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets. Seller has not invited any third party to enter into a license under any of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets. Seller has not initiated any enforcement action with respect to any of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets.

6.8 Patent Office Proceedings. None of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets have been or are currently involved in any reexamination, reissue, interference proceeding, or any similar proceeding, and no such proceedings are pending or threatened.

6.9 Fees. All maintenance fees, annuities, and the like due or payable on the Patents have been timely paid. For the avoidance of doubt, such timely payment includes payment of any maintenance fees for which the fee is payable (e.g., the fee payment window opens) even if the surcharge date or final deadline for payment of such fee would be in the future.

6.10 Abandoned Assets. According to each applicable patent office, each of the Abandoned Assets has expired, lapsed, or been abandoned or deemed withdrawn.

3.1 The parties and their Counsel shall use the Common Interest Materials solely in connection with the Patent Matters and shall take appropriate steps to protect the privileged and confidential nature of the Common Interest Materials. Neither client nor their respective Counsel shall produce privileged documents or information unless or until directed to do so by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or upon the prior written consent of the other party. No privilege or objection shall be waived by a party hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. The obligations under this paragraph will not apply either to Purchaser after closing of the acquisition of the Patent Matters or to Seller with respect to any dispute with Purchaser related to such potential acquisition.

3.2 Except as herein provided, in the event that either party or their Counsel is requested or required in the context of a litigation, governmental, judicial or regulatory investigation or other similar proceedings (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or similar process) to disclose any Common Interest Materials, the party or their Counsel shall immediately inform the other party and their Counsel and shall assert all applicable privileges, including, without limitation, the common interest doctrine, the joint prosecution privilege.

4. Relationship; Additions; Termination.

4.1 This Agreement does not create any agency or similar relationship among the parties. Through the Closing (as defined in the Patent Purchase Agreement executed by Purchaser and Seller), neither party nor their respective Counsel has the authority to waive any applicable privilege or doctrine on behalf of any other party.

4.2 Nothing in this Agreement affects the separate and independent representation of each party by its respective Counsel or creates an attorney client relationship between the Counsel for a party and the other party to this Agreement.

4.3 This Agreement shall continue until terminated upon the written request of either party. Upon termination, each party and their respective Counsel shall return any Common Interest Materials furnished by the other party. Notwithstanding termination, this Agreement shall continue to protect all Common Interest Materials disclosed prior to termination. Sections 3 and 5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

5. General Terms.

5.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice of law principles to the contrary. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remaining terms shall remain in effect. Failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

5.2 The parties agree that a breach of this Agreement would result in irreparable injury, that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy and that the disclosing party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, as a non-exclusive remedy for any such breach.

5.3 Notices given under this Agreement shall be given in writing and delivered by messenger or overnight delivery service to a party and their respective Counsel at their last known address, and shall be deemed to have been given on the day received.

5.4 This Agreement is effective and binding upon each party as of the date it is signed by or on behalf of a party and may be amended only by a writing signed by or on behalf of each party. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts. Any signature reproduced or transmitted via email of a .pdf file, photocopy, facsimile or other process of complete and accurate reproduction and transmission shall be considered an original for purposes of this Agreement.

This Agreement is being executed by each of the undersigned Counsel with the fully informed authority and consent of the respective party it represents.
