 WHEREAS the Parties now desire to settle the Lawsuit and enter into this agreement providing for a full, final, complete and
global settlement of the subject matter of the Lawsuit and for certain releases, licenses and covenants not to sue, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

	2.0	LICENSE AND RELEASE. 

 2.1
License. OPTi, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates, and their successors and assigns, grants to Apple, its Affiliates, and their successors and assigns, a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide license
under the OPTi Patents to make, have made, use, purchase, sell, offer for sale, license, lease, import, export, or otherwise dispose of Licensed Products, and to practice and have practiced any method in connection therewith, by or for Apple or its
Affiliates. 
 2.2 Covenant. In addition to Sections 2.1 and 2.3, OPTi, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates, and their
successors and assigns, hereby covenants not to sue Apple, its Affiliates, their successors and assigns, direct or indirect customers, users, licensees, service providers, distributors, retailers, or direct and indirect suppliers for infringement of
the OPTi Patents with respect to Licensed Products licensed above in Section 2.1. No Licensed Product shall be used to satisfy any claim or claim element asserted by OPTi or its Affiliates, and their successors and assigns, against Apple, its
Affiliates, their successors and assigns, customers, users, licensees, service providers, distributors, retailers, or direct and indirect suppliers. 
 2.3 Release. In addition to Sections 2.1 and 2.2, the Parties, on behalf of themselves, their Affiliates, and their successors and assigns hereby release, acquit and forever discharge one another
(together with their Affiliates, predecessors, successors, agents, attorneys, insurers, servants, distributors, licensees, service providers, retailers, suppliers, employees, officers, directors, users and customers) from any and all actions, causes
of action, claims or demands, liabilities, losses, damages, attorney fees, court costs, or any other form of claim or compensation, whether known or unknown as of the Effective Date, arising out of the facts, events or occurrences underlying or

2.4 The Parties, having specific intent to release all potential claims described in the foregoing sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, whether
known or unknown, do hereby acknowledge and expressly waive the provisions of section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and similar provisions in other jurisdictions, whether by statute or common law), which provides: 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him or her, must have materially affected his settlement with debtor.”

 2.5 Dismissal. Concurrent with execution of this Agreement, OPTi and Apple shall
dismiss with prejudice the appeal pending in the Lawsuit before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in matters no. 2010-1129, -1286, including taking all necessary steps and filing all necessary documents attendant thereto.
Apple makes no admission of infringement or liability by the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement. 
 2.6
The Parties acknowledge and agree that Licensed Products may include software products that are often distributed to customers by providing a master copy of Apple software to a distributor, replicator, original equipment manufacturer, value-added
reseller, or other third party authorized to reproduce and distribute a final product of the third party including the software. Accordingly the licenses and other rights granted in this Section 2 shall apply to the reproduction and
distribution by authorized third parties of such software. 
 2.7 To the extent that OPTi does not have the right to grant fully
the releases, licenses, covenants and other rights set out in this Agreement, it grants the broadest such rights that it is entitled to grant consistent with the terms set out herein. 

 

	3.0	CONSIDERATION. 

 3.1
Within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date, or within ten (10) business days of the last signature set out below, whichever is later, Apple will pay to OPTi the sum of Twelve Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States
dollars ($12,250,000US). Payment shall be made by electronic transfer of funds to OPTi’s bank account as follows: 
  

							
		 	Bank Name:	  	[***]	  	
		 	Bank Address:	  	[***]	  	
		 	ABA No.:	  	[***]	  	
		 	Account No.:	  	[***]	  	
		 	Account Name:	  	[***]	  	

 3.2 The payment of Section 3.1 shall be the total compensation paid to OPTi for the rights
granted in this Agreement, and no additional payment will be made to OPTi or any other party by Apple. The parties stipulate and agree that the payment called for by Section 3.1 shall be allocated as follows: $9,850,000 shall be deemed payment
for the release and license granted pursuant to United States Patents No. 5,710,906; 5,813,036; 6,405,291, with the balance due allocated to the remaining patent rights granted under this agreement. 

3.3 OPTi will be responsible for any duties, taxes, and levies to which it is subject as a result of any payment hereunder.

 3.4 No later than three (3) business days after the Effective Date of this
Agreement, OPTi shall provide Apple with a completed IRS Form W9. If OPTi fails to provide such tax documentation or fails to provide tax documentation sufficient to allow a zero (0) percent tax rate, Apple may, at its discretion, cause taxes
to be deducted from the amount paid and cause such withholding taxes to be paid to the appropriate tax authority. For avoidance of doubt, in such case the actual payment to OPTi will be net of any taxes withheld. 

3.5 No later that five (5) business days after receipt of the payments required by Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement, OPTi
shall file with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas a satisfaction of the judgment entered in Case No. 2:07-CV-21-CE on December 3, 2009, in such form as to reflect Apple’s full and complete satisfaction
of the judgment by virtue of the payment and consideration provided pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	4.0	WARRANTIES. 

 4.1 Apple
warrants and represents that it is a validly existing business and in good standing under the laws of the respective jurisdictions in which it has activities, and has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder and consummate the transactions contemplated herein. 
 4.2 OPTi represents and warrants to Apple that:
(a) it has all requisite legal right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement; (b) it owns the OPTi Patents, and that no other third party owns any right to enforce or recover for infringement of the OPTi Patents
by Apple or its Affiliates at any time during the term of this Agreement; and (c) it has not granted and will not grant any licenses or other rights, under the OPTi Patents or otherwise, that would conflict with or prevent the licenses,
covenants, releases and rights granted to Apple and its Affiliates hereunder. OPTi represents and warrants that there are no liens, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, encumbrances, or other agreements that would prevent or impair the full and
complete exercise of the terms of this Agreement. OPTi agrees to indemnify and hold Apple and its Affiliates harmless in the event that Apple is found liable in connection with any claim brought by a third party who claims any interest in, or any
right to recover under any OPTi Patent. OPTi shall not grant or assign any rights under the OPTi Patents, unless such grants or assignments are made subject to the rights granted in this Agreement. 

4.3 OPTi represents and warrants that it does not directly or indirectly own a controlling interest in, nor is it owned or controlled by
or in common with, any other company or other entity that owns any patents or patent applications other than the OPTi Patents. For the purposes of this provision “control,” “controlling interest,” and their cognates shall refer
to direct or indirect ownership of 50% or more of the voting shares of an entity. The express purpose of this clause is to permit Apple to understand all patent rights that could be asserted against it by anyone having an interest in the OPTi

Patents; as such, any omission is deemed material to this entire Agreement. In the event that, and notwithstanding this representation and warranty of Section 4.3, there are other patents
that are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by OPTi or another entity that is owned or controlled by or in common with OPTi, then such other patents shall be treated as if they were OPTi Patents for the purposes of all licenses, covenants,
releases and other rights granted in this Agreement. 
  

	5.0	TERM AND TERMINATION. 

5.1 This Agreement shall not be binding on the Parties until it has been signed below by both Parties, at which time it shall be deemed
effective as of its Effective Date. The Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the last to expire of the OPTi Patents. At that time, the licenses, covenants, and releases of Section 2.0 shall remain in effect in
perpetuity with respect to rights granted prior to the expiration. 
 5.2 Other than as set forth in Section 5.1, this
Agreement may only be terminated by mutual written agreement of the Parties. 
  

	6.0	ASSIGNABILITY. 

 6.1
Neither party may grant or assign any rights or delegate any duties under this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Apple may (i) assign rights under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates and (ii) assign rights under this Agreement to (a) an acquirer of all or substantially all of the equity or assets of its business to which this
Agreement relates, but only with respect to the business acquired or (b) the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation, equity exchange, or reorganization of its business to which this Agreement relates, but only with respect to the
business covered by this Agreement. All license rights and covenants contained herein shall run with the Patents and shall be binding on any successors-in-interest or assigns thereof. OPTi and its Affiliates shall not assign, or grant any right
under, any OPTi Patent to any other party unless such assignment or grant is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such other party executes an agreement agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Any attempted assignment or grant in contravention of this Section 6.1 shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their permitted successors and
assigns.

and particulars to any third party except: (i) with the prior written consent of the other Party, (ii) as may be required by applicable law, regulation or order of a governmental
authority of competent jurisdiction (including without limitation, disclosures which OPTi reasonably and in good faith believes to be appropriate to meet its obligations under the securities laws of the United States), (iii) during the course
of litigation so long as the disclosure of such terms and conditions is subject to the same restrictions as is the confidential information of the other litigating parties, such restrictions are embodied in a court-entered protective order limiting
disclosure to outside counsel and such disclosing Party provides the other Party written notice at least ten (10) business days prior to such disclosure, (iv) in confidence to the professional legal and financial counsel representing such
Party, or (v) in confidence to any party covered by the releases, licenses or covenants granted herein. With respect to the foregoing (ii), such disclosing Party shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide the other Party with prior
written notice of such applicable law, regulation or order and, at the request of the other Party, use reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and to obtain a protective order or other confidential
treatment. 
 7.2 Except as authorized in Paragraph 7.1, neither Party shall issue a press release or make any other public
statement regarding this Agreement or the settlement of the Lawsuit, except that either party may make any statement it deems appropriate to satisfy its various public reporting obligations. Neither party shall directly or indirectly seek to
initiate or respond to any inquiry by the press concerning the other party, the Agreement, the settlement, or the Lawsuit. In any public statements or filings made by either party, which shall be made only as permitted by Paragraph 7.1 and/or 7.2,
the party shall expressly state that Apple has paid a total of $12,250,000, of which $9,850,000 was for the release and license granted pursuant to United States Patents No. 5,710,906; 5,813,036; 6,405,291 relating to the technology at issue in
the Lawsuit, with an additional payment for a concurrent license pertaining to the remaining patent rights granted under this Agreement. 
 7.3 The confidentiality provisions of this Agreement are material terms of this Agreement, and any breach of these provisions will constitute a material breach of this Agreement. The failure of any Party
to enforce at any time any of the provisions governing the confidentiality of the terms of this Agreement or to require at any time performance by any of the Parties of any such provisions shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provision
or relinquishment of the right thereafter to enforce such provision. 
  

	8.0	NOTICES. 

 8.1 All notices
required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) upon receipt if delivered by hand, (ii) the next business day after being sent by prepaid, nationally-recognized, overnight air courier,

illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in force and, if needed, the Parties or a court of competent jurisdiction shall substitute suitable provisions having like economic effect and intent.

 9.5 This Agreement cannot be modified, terminated or amended in any respect orally or by conduct of the Parties. Any

 9.6 This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which is deemed to
be an original but all of which constitute a one and the same instrument. Electronic copies of the signatures of the Parties to this Agreement shall be treated as if they are original signatures and shall have the same legal effect as would original

 9.8 The headings inserted in this Agreement are for reference only and are not intended to form any part of the operative portion of this Agreement, and they shall not be employed in the interpretation or

accordance with the laws of California, notwithstanding any choice-of-law principle that might dictate a different governing law.

contemporaneous exchange for value. OPTi acknowledges that if OPTi, as a debtor in possession or a trustee in bankruptcy in a case under the Code, rejects this Agreement, Apple may elect to retain its rights under this Agreement as provided in
Section 365(n) of the Code. Upon written request from Apple to OPTi or the bankruptcy trustee of OPTi’s election to proceed under Section 365(n), OPTi or the bankruptcy trustee shall comply in all respects with Section 365(n),
