whether written or oral, are terminated in their entirety upon the execution hereof by all the Parties. Jenkens represents to Forgent and CLI that there are no other supplements or amendments to the Fee Agreement other than the Supplement.

  
 2. On December 21, 2004, for and in consideration of the
agreements contained herein, Forgent shall pay Jenkens the sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000), in Dallas County, Texas, by wiring same to Jenkens pursuant to wiring instructions previously provided by Jenkens to Forgent. 
  
 3. In addition to the amount set forth in paragraph 2 above, Forgent and CLI,
jointly and severally, promise to pay Jenkens 50% of the first six million dollars ($6,000,000) of Gross Recoveries, received by Forgent and/or CLI on or after October 27, 2004 until the amount paid to Jenkens under the terms of this paragraph
totals three million dollars ($3,000,000). No litigation or other expenses are to be deducted from Gross Recoveries. In calculating the amount due Jenkens, no litigation or other expenses are to be deducted before applying the percentage to a Gross
Recoveries item. “Gross Recoveries,” as used in this Agreement, means: 
  
 (i) all royalties, license fees and other payments made or accruing under all license agreements and similar agreements entered into in connection with the Patents for the right to use or practice any claimed
inventions described therein, and (ii) all amounts recovered in enforcement actions, whether by way of judgment or compromise and settlement, relating to the Patents. 
  
 “Patents”, as used in this Agreement, means any one or more of U.S. Patent No. 4,698,672; any foreign counterpart of U.S. Patent
No. 4,698,672; U.S. Patent No. 6,181,784 and U.S. Patent No. 6,285,746 (which a continuation of U.S. Patent No. 6,181,784). 
  
 4. In addition to any amounts paid under paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Agreement, and after payments of all amounts due under paragraphs 2 and 3 of this

the first six million dollars ($6,000,000) in Gross Recoveries. No litigation or other expenses are to be deducted from Gross Recoveries. In calculating the amount due Jenkens, no litigation or other expenses are to be deducted before applying the
percentage to a Gross Recovery item. For example, if there are $20,000,000 of Gross Recoveries after October 27, 2004, Jenkens would receive $4,400,000 as follows: 50% of $6,000,000, constituting $3,000,000, under paragraph 3 plus 10% of Gross
Recoveries exceeding $6,000,000 ($20,000,000—$6,000,000), constituting $1,400,000, under this paragraph 4. 
  
 5. The payments contemplated by paragraph 3 and 4 of this Agreement shall be made by Forgent and/or CLI within ten (10) days of receipt of an item of
Gross Recoveries by wiring such payment to Jenkens, in Dallas County,
