------------------------------------
(a) Specifications. All MKE Products shall comply fully with the
--------------
Reference Specification and applicable Product Specification. Replay may, from

Specification for MKE Products. If such revisions relate to software, within
[***] days after such revised Reference Specification is provided to MKE (or
such other time period as may be mutually agreed by the parties), all MKE
Products manufactured by or on behalf of MKE shall conform to such revised
Reference Specification. If such revisions relate to hardware, within [***] days
after such revised Reference Specification is provided to MKE (or such other
time period as may be mutually agreed by the parties), all MKE Products
manufactured by or on behalf of MKE shall conform to such revised Reference
Specification. If the Reference Specification embodies any MKE Intellectual
Property Rights, Replay and MKE shall negotiate in good faith to determine a
reasonable one-time license fee to be charged to other OEMs manufacturing
products conforming thereto. In the event the Reference Specification embodies
any other OEM or third party Intellectual Property Rights, MKE shall pay a
reasonable one-time license fee to manufacture MKE Products conforming thereto.

-9-
approval of MKE) the amount of hard disk drive space to be reserved for future
RTVS programming ("Reserved Capacity") and provide such information to MKE
promptly in writing. MKE shall not promote such Reserved Capacity as hard disk
drive space available to End Users of MKE Products. Replay may, from time to
time modify the Gold Master and provide a new version thereof to MKE. Within
[***] days after receipt of such Gold Master, MKE shall ensure that all MKE
Products manufactured thereafter have hard disks or memory devices loaded with
the new Gold Master Version. MKE shall not modify, add or remove any software,
content or other material to or from any Gold Master.
(c) Testing and Quality Assurance. MKE shall notify Replay in writing
-----------------------------
at least [***] days in advance of providing Replay with any new MKE Product that
MKE desires be tested for commercial release, and [***] days or such lesser
agreed upon time period for any modifications or improvements to any existing
MKE Product to be so tested. MKE shall provide Replay an agreed upon number of
units of such MKE Product necessary for Replay's testing and quality assurance,
including full compliance and operation with the Replay Device Software, Replay
Server Software and the RTVS. Replay shall conduct such testing within [***]
days after receipt of such units, and shall notify MKE in writing of the results
of such tests. In the event that any unit fails such Replay testing and quality
assurance, the parties will meet to coordinate a review and analysis of the
problems discovered by Replay. MKE shall not ship any new MKE Product until
Replay determines that such product meets such testing and quality assurance.
(d) Proposed Software Modifications. MKE may propose modifications or
-------------------------------
improvement to the Gold Master, the Replay Driver Software and the Replay Device
Software. After suitable testing and quality assurance, Replay may incorporate
such modifications or improvements into the Gold Master, the Replay Driver
Software or Replay Device Software, as appropriate, provided that such testing
and incorporation of any modification or improvement (other than to the Replay
Device Software, changes to which shall be at Replay's sole discretion) shall
not be unreasonably withheld by Replay. MKE shall not ship any MKE Product with
such modifications or improvements except as permitted pursuant to this Section
4.4.
(e) Restrictions. MKE, acknowledges and agrees that Replay is the
------------
sole entity entitled to transmit or have downloaded (over any network or other
dialup connection) any software, content or other material, or any improvement
or modification thereto, to the Gold Master or any hard disk or memory device
contained in any MKE Product. MKE shall not, directly or through any third
party, MEI or MEI Affiliate, transmit or have downloaded any such software,
content or other material, or any improvement or modification thereto, without
Replay's express prior written permission. This does not affect any other rights
of MKE, MEI and MEI Affiliate to install any software, content or other
materials into MKE Products using Gold Master as permitted pursuant to this
Agreement.
4.5 API Development.
---------------
Replay will use its best efforts to develop and document mutually
agreed upon Replay Device Software APIs reasonably necessary for the development
of MKE Products that combine Replay Technology with other features and
