on the Contingent Notes will be outstanding. The Lenders agree that the maturity date and/or term
of the Surviving Obligations and Contingent Notes shall be extended from December 31, 2009 to

execution and delivery of this Agreement, the release of Liens relating to the Patent Assets

the Settlement Payment. If the Lenders foreclose on all or substantially all of the operating
assets of the Company, the Company agrees that it will use reasonable best efforts to transfer the
Company’s perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license described in Recital E to
the purchaser of all or substantially all of such operating assets in such foreclosure in
accordance with the terms set forth in such license under the section titled “Limitation on
Transferability of Seller License.”
