Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem MEDIA FORMAT SPECIFICATION AGREEMENT FOR IMPLEMENTATION This Media Format Specification Agreement for Implementation (this Agreement ) is effective as of the date of the last signature below, by and between Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) LLC ( DECE ), a Delaware limited liability company, and the entity named below (together with its Controlled Affiliates, Licensee ). (DECE and Licensee are collectively referred to as the Parties ). Name of Licensee: Description of Licensee s Business: Name of Main Contact Person: Main Contact person s phone no.: Fax no.: Email address: Location of Licensee s principal offices: State or Country of Incorporation: Year of Incorporation: Contact/address for Notices, if different from above (if notices under this agreement should be sent to more than one person or address, please provide full contact information for each): RECITALS WHEREAS, DECE has been formed by its members ( Members ) to establish a means of delivering digital entertainment content in a manner that allows for interoperability among different digital formats and digital rights management systems in order to promote the widespread availability and usability of digital entertainment content on a wide variety of products and services; WHEREAS, DECE has developed and made available for license the Specification (as defined below); WHEREAS, Licensee accordingly wishes to obtain a license on behalf of itself and its Controlled Affiliates to access and implement the Specification; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 1. Definitions. 1.1. Controlled Affiliate means, with respect to any Person, each other Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such first Person. As used in this definition, controlled by means the possession, directly or indirectly, of beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity interests or more than fifty percent (50%) of

the interests entitled to vote for the election of, or serve as, the board of directors or similar managing authority of a Person. 1.2. DECE Licensee means any Person that has entered into an agreement with DECE on substantially the same terms as this Agreement for the Specification. For the avoidance of doubt, agreements granted by DECE for the Specification that do not include patent licensing obligations, including, without limitation, evaluation agreements, are not substantially the same as this Agreement and are not sufficient to qualify a Person as a DECE Licensee under this Agreement.. 1.3. Necessary Claims means claims of patents that are necessarily infringed by any portion of any product, including software or firmware or a component thereof, or of any service, that implements one or more Mandatory Portions of the Specification. As used in this Agreement, the term necessarily infringed means that (y) such claim reads on one or more Mandatory Portions of the Specification, other than technologies, standards, specifications or products that, in each case, are referenced by such Mandatory Portions of the Specification but that are not themselves disclosed with particularity in the Specification (even though required by the Specification) and (z) there are no commercially reasonable alternatives for implementing such Mandatory Portions of the Specification that do not infringe such claim. For purposes of clarification, Necessary Claims shall not include any claims (A) that are not necessary (i.e., for which there are commercially reasonable alternatives that do not infringe such claims) to make, use, sell, distribute, import or offer to sell any portions of any product, or to provide any portions of any service, in each case implementing the Specification, as contemplated in clauses in this section; (B) that relate solely to aspects of any technology, standard or product that is explicitly designated as an informative part of the Specification; or (C) other than those described above even if contained in the same patent as the Necessary Claim. In any instance in which this Agreement requires a Person to license or covenant not to assert a Necessary Claim, or otherwise refers to a Person s Necessary Claim, such requirement or reference shall be deemed to apply solely to Necessary Claims that such Person both (1) owns or controls and (2) has the right to license as contemplated by this Agreement. 1.4. Mandatory Portions of the Specification means portions of the Specification that are indicated as being mandatory by using the terms "MUST," REQUIRED or SHALL, including, for the avoidance of doubt, such portions indicated as being mandatory by using the foregoing terms that relate to an optional feature or optional functionality (i.e., such portions that are mandatory if such optional feature or optional functionality is implemented). 1.5. Person means any partnership, corporation, trust, estate, association, custodian, nominee, limited liability company or any other individual or entity in its own or any representative capacity, but, shall not include a natural person. A reference to a Person includes the successors and permitted assigns of such Person. 1.6. Specification means the DECE Media Format Specification version. 2. Copyright License. DECE grants to Licensee a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, no-charge, royalty-free, copyright license, for as

long as this Agreement remains in effect, to reproduce, distribute, and display the Specification, provided that Licensee includes a link to the original Specification and Licensee may not remove any copyright or other proprietary rights notices and licenses from the Specification. 3. Patent Licensing Commitments. 3.1. Licensing Commitment. Each Licensee shall offer to each DECE Licensee and its Controlled Affiliates, under reasonable terms and conditions that are free of discrimination, a nonexclusive, worldwide, nontransferable license under Licensee Necessary Claims, to make, have made, sell, offer to sell, use (including, for avoidance for doubt, lease) and import those portions of products and services that implement the Mandatory Portions of the Specification; provided however, that the foregoing obligation under this Section shall not apply in favor of any DECE Licensee if that DECE Licensee files a lawsuit asserting infringement of a Necessary Claim against a Licensee for the making, having made, selling, offering to sell, using (including, for avoidance for doubt, leasing) or importing Mandatory Portions of the Specifications pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement without first offering to grant Licensee a license to such Necessary Claims on reasonable terms and conditions that are free of discrimination. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the interpretation of reasonable terms and conditions in other circumstances, the obligations imposed on Licensee Entities under this Section 3 are not intended to prevent any Licensee from recouping amounts it would be obligated to pay a third party (other than an employee of a Licensee) upon such Licensee granting a license pursuant to this Section 3.1 to a Necessary Claim. 3.2. Limited Non-Assert to DECE. Licensee hereby covenants not to assert against DECE any of such Licensee s Necessary Claims for DECE testing or certification activities related to services or products provided by or licensed under agreement with DECE ( DECE Testing or Certification Activities ), or against any of DECE s contractors to the extent of their provision of services to DECE in support of the DECE Testing or Certification Activities. 3.3. Scope. The obligation to extend licenses under this Section 3 excludes the use of any portion of the Specifications in any portion of any product or service that is not required by the Mandatory Portions of the Specifications. 3.4. No Other License. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither DECE nor its Members grant Licensee any license or right, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, mask works, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights. 3.5. Transfers of Patent Rights. Licensee shall not transfer ownership of or exclusive sublicensing authority for any patents that contain Necessary Claims for the purpose of avoiding any of the licensing or non-assertion obligations under this Agreement. 4. Miscellaneous. 4.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or

contemporaneous oral or written agreements. This Agreement shall not be modified except by written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both Parties. 4.2. Assignment. No Licensee may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder or delegate any of its obligations hereunder (by operation of law or otherwise) except that Licensee may do so: (a) with the written approval of DECE or (b) to the purchaser of all or substantially all of the outstanding capital stock or assets and obligations of Licensee, provided notice of such assignment has been provided in advance to DECE and the acquiring entity has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation by any Licensee other than as expressly permitted in this Section 4.2, shall be null and void. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties, their successors and permitted assigns. DECE may assign or transfer this Agreement to any Person that agrees to assume DECE s obligations hereunder, and DECE shall provide Licensee with notice of such assignment or transfer. Further, DECE may subcontract any of its obligations hereunder and may designate one or more Persons to act as its agent in the enforcement of the terms hereof or for any other purpose. 4.3. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL CLAIMS BROUGHT HEREUNDER, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THAT STATE S CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. 4.4. Consent To Jurisdiction. LICENSEE AND DECE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 4.4), INCLUDING ANY THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY ACTIONS BROUGHT HEREUNDER, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 4.4, (I) EACH OF THEM HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS WITH REGARD TO ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND (II) AGREES NOT TO COMMENCE ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATED THERETO EXCEPT IN SUCH COURTS, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT DECE MAY, AT ITS ELECTION, BRING ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT TO WHICH LICENSEE WOULD, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE FOREGOING, BE SUBJECT TO JURISDICTION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE OR NATIONAL LAW. LICENSEE AND DECE AGREE TO ACCEPT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY SUCH COURTS. LICENSEE AND DECE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION OR AS A DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (A) ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE ABOVE-NAMED COURTS FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE FAILURE TO LAWFULLY SERVE PROCESS, AND (B) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY

LAW, THAT (X) THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (Y) THE VENUE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER, OR (Z) THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS. 4.5. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSEE AND DECE EACH HEREBY, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION OF ANY CLAIM WHICH IS BASED ON, OR ARISES OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY ACTION. LICENSEE AND DECE EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 4.5 ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE OTHER PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 4.5 ARE IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT THEY MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THESE WAIVERS SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS TO OR OF THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO WAIVER OF A JURY TRIAL AND TO TRIAL BY THE COURT. 4.6. Notice.
