Assignment of Patent Rights in the form set forth in Exhibit B (as may be updated based on
Purchaser’s review pursuant to paragraph 3.1).

4.2 Assignment of Additional Rights. Upon the Closing, Seller hereby also sells,

5. Additional Obligations

5.1 Further Cooperation.

(a) At the reasonable request of Purchaser, Seller will execute and deliver such other
instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable
for effecting completely the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
including, without limitation, execution, acknowledgment, and recordation of other such
papers, and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same from the respective
inventors, as necessary or desirable for fully perfecting and conveying unto Purchaser the
benefit of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) To the extent any attorney-client privilege or the attorney work-product doctrine
applies to any portion of the Prosecution History Files and that is retained after Closing
under Seller or
Seller’s representatives normal document retention policy, Seller will ensure that, if any such

Page 4

 

 portion of the Prosecution History File remains under Seller’s possession or control
after Closing, it is not disclosed to any third party unless (a) disclosure is ordered by a
court of competent jurisdiction, after all appropriate appeals to prevent disclosure have
been exhausted, and (b) Seller gave Purchaser prompt notice upon learning that any third
party sought or intended to seek a court order requiring the disclosure of any such portion
of the Prosecution History File. In addition, Seller will continue to prosecute, maintain,
and defend the Patents at its sole expense until the Closing.

(c) Seller will also, at the reasonable request of Purchaser after Closing, assist Purchaser
in providing, and obtaining, from the respective inventors, prompt production of pertinent
facts and documents, otherwise giving of testimony, execution of petitions, oaths, powers of
attorney, specifications, declarations or other papers and other assistance reasonably

reasonable, documented disbursements and time incurred after Closing in connection with
providing assistance under this subparagraph 5.1(c) in connection with any enforcement or
other infringement action regarding the Patents, under a standard billable hour rate of
Seller; provided that Seller shall have furnished Purchaser an advance, written estimate of
the fees and costs for such assistance and Purchaser shall have agreed in writing to pay
such fees and costs.

5.2 Payment of Fees. Seller will pay any maintenance fees, annuities, and the like due or
payable on the Patents until the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall pay any
maintenance fees for which the fee is payable (e.g., the fee payment window opens) on or prior to
the Closing even if the surcharge date or final deadline for payment of such fee would be after the
Closing. Seller hereby gives Purchaser power-of-attorney to (a) execute documents in the name of
Seller in order to effectuate the recordation of the transfers of any portion of the Patents in an
governmental filing office in the world and (b) instruct legal counsel to take steps to pay
maintenance fees and annuities that Seller declines to pay and to make filings on behalf of Seller
prior to Closing and otherwise preserve the assets through Closing.

5.3 Foreign Assignments. To the extent the Patents include non-United States patents and
patent applications, Seller will deliver to Purchaser’s representatives executed documents in a
form as may be required in the non-U.S jurisdiction in order to perfect the assignment to Purchaser
of the non-U.S. patents and patent applications.

5.4 Pre-existing Royalty Agreement. Purchaser shall not be liable for any obligations
under the pre-existing Royalty Agreement between Irvine Sensors Corporation and Floyd Eide with the
effective date of February 4, 2003.

6. Representations and Warranties of Seller

Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows that, as of the Effective Date and as
of the Closing:

6.1 Authority. Seller is a company duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Seller has the full power and authority and
has obtained all third party consents, approvals, and/or other authorizations required to enter
into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the
assignment of the Assigned Patent Rights to Purchaser.

6.2 Title and Contest. Seller owns all right, title, and interest to the Assigned Patent
Rights, including, without limitation, all right, title, and interest to sue for infringement of
the Patents. Seller has obtained and properly recorded previously executed assignments for the
Patents as necessary to fully perfect its rights and title therein in accordance with governing law
and regulations in each respective jurisdiction.
As of Closing, the Assigned Patent Rights are free and clear of all liens, claims, mortgages,
security

Page 5

 

interests or other encumbrances, and restrictions. There are no actions, suits,
investigations, claims, or proceedings threatened, pending, or in progress relating in any way to
the Assigned Patent Rights. There are no existing contracts, agreements, options, commitments,
proposals, bids, offers, or rights with, to, or in any person to acquire any of the Assigned Patent
Rights.

6.3 Existing Licenses and Obligations. There is no obligation imposed by a
standards-setting organization to license any of the Patents on particular terms or conditions.
Except for the Seller License and the non-exclusive licenses listed on Exhibit G, no licenses under
the Patents have been granted or retained by Seller, any prior owners, or inventors. After
Closing, except for the Seller License, none of Seller, any prior owner, or any inventor will
retain any rights or interest in the Assigned Patent Rights. None of the licenses or rights in the
Patents listed on Exhibit G is an exclusive grant or right and, except as expressly noted on
Exhibit G, each such license is nontransferable and nonsublicensable. Except as set forth on
Exhibit G, none of the licenses listed on Exhibit G have been assigned or sublicensed and no
further licenses have been granted by any sublicensees.

6.4 Restrictions on Rights. Purchaser will not be subject to any covenant not to sue or
similar restrictions on its enforcement or enjoyment of the Assigned Patent Rights or the Abandoned
Assets as a result of any prior transaction related to the Assigned Patent Rights or the Abandoned
Assets.

6.5 Validity and Enforceability. None of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets (other than
Abandoned Assets for which abandonment resulted solely from unpaid fees and/or annuities) have ever
been found invalid, unpatentable, or unenforceable for any reason in any administrative,
arbitration, judicial or other proceeding, and Seller does not know of and has not received any
notice or information of any kind from any source suggesting that the Patents may be invalid,
unpatentable, or unenforceable. If any of the Patents are terminally disclaimed to another patent
or patent application, all patents and patent applications subject to such terminal disclaimer are
included in this transaction. To the extent “small entity” fees were paid to the United States
Patent and Trademark Office for any Patent, such reduced fees were then appropriate because the
payor qualified to pay “small entity” fees at the time of such payment and specifically had not
licensed rights in the any Patent to an entity that was not a “small entity.”

6.6 Conduct. None of Seller, any prior owner or their respective agents or representatives
have engaged in any conduct, or omitted to perform any necessary act, the result of which would
invalidate any of the Patents or hinder their enforcement, including, without limitation,
misrepresenting the Patents to a standard-setting organization.

6.7 Enforcement. Seller has not put a third party on notice of actual or potential
infringement of any of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets. Seller has not invited any third party
to enter into a license under any of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets. Seller has not initiated
any enforcement action with respect to any of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets.

6.8 Patent Office Proceedings. None of the Patents or the Abandoned Assets have been or
are currently involved in any reexamination, reissue, interference proceeding, or any similar
proceeding, and no such proceedings are pending or threatened.

6.9 Fees. All maintenance fees, annuities, and the like due or payable on the Patents have
been timely paid. For the avoidance of doubt, such timely payment includes payment of any
maintenance fees for which the fee is payable (e.g., the fee payment window opens) even if the
surcharge date or final deadline for payment of such fee would be in the future.

6.10 Abandoned Assets. According to each applicable patent office, each of the Abandoned

Exhibit E

COMMON INTEREST AGREEMENT

     THIS COMMON INTEREST AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into between the undersigned legal
counsel (“Counsel”), for themselves and on behalf of the parties they represent (as indicated
below).

1. Background.

1.1 Aprolase Development Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”) and Irvine
Sensors Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“Seller”) (Purchaser and Seller are sometimes
hereafter referred to herein as a “party” or the “parties”), have entered into an agreement under
which Purchaser will acquire all substantial rights of Seller in certain patent applications filed
or to be filed throughout the world (the “Patent Matters”).

1.2 The parties have a common interest in the Patent Matters and have agreed to treat their
communications and those of their Counsel relating to the Patent Matters as protected by the common
interest privilege. Furtherance of the Patent Matters requires the exchange of proprietary
documents and information, the joint development of legal strategies and the exchange of attorney
work product developed by the parties and their respective Counsel.

2. Common Interest.

2.1 The parties have a common, joint and mutual legal interest in cooperating with each other, to
the extent permitted by law, to share information protected by the attorney-client privilege and by
the work product doctrine with respect to the Patent Matters. Any counsel or consultant retained
by a party or their Counsel to assist in the Patent Matters shall be bound by, and entitled to the
benefits of, this Agreement.

2.2 In order to further their common interest, the parties and their Counsel shall exchange
privileged and work product information, orally and in writing, including, without limitation,
factual analyses, mental impressions, legal memoranda, source materials, draft legal documents,
prosecution history files and other information (hereinafter “Common Interest Materials”). The
sole purpose for the exchange of the Common Interest Materials is to support the parties’ common
interest with respect to the prosecution and enforcement of the Patent Matters. Any Common
Interest Materials exchanged shall continue to be protected under all applicable privileges and no
such exchange shall constitute a waiver of any applicable privilege or protection.

3. Nondisclosure.

3.1 The parties and their Counsel shall use the Common Interest Materials solely in connection with
the Patent Matters and shall take appropriate steps to protect the privileged and confidential
nature of the Common Interest Materials. Neither client nor their respective Counsel shall produce
privileged documents or information unless or until directed to do so by a final order of a court
of competent jurisdiction, or upon the prior written consent of the other party. No privilege or
objection shall be waived by a party hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
party. The obligations under this paragraph will not apply either to Purchaser after closing of
the acquisition of the Patent Matters or to Seller with respect to any dispute with Purchaser
related to such potential acquisition.

3.2 Except as herein provided, in the event that either party or their Counsel is requested or
required in the context of a litigation, governmental, judicial or regulatory investigation or
other similar proceedings (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or
documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or similar process) to disclose any Common
Interest Materials, the party or their Counsel shall immediately inform the other party and their
Counsel and shall assert all applicable privileges, including, without limitation, the common
interest doctrine, the joint prosecution privilege.

4. Relationship; Additions; Termination.

4.1 This Agreement does not create any agency or similar relationship among the parties. Through
the Closing (as defined in the Patent Purchase Agreement executed by Purchaser and Seller), neither
party nor their respective Counsel has the authority to waive any applicable privilege or doctrine
on behalf of any other party.

4.2 Nothing in this Agreement affects the separate and independent representation of each party by
its respective Counsel or creates an attorney client relationship between the Counsel for a party
and the other party to this Agreement.

4.3 This Agreement shall continue until terminated upon the written request of either party. Upon
termination, each party and their respective Counsel shall return any Common Interest Materials
furnished by the other party. Notwithstanding termination, this Agreement shall continue to
protect all Common Interest Materials disclosed prior to termination. Sections 3 and 5 shall
survive termination of this Agreement.

5. General Terms.

5.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice
of law principles to the contrary. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remaining terms shall
remain in effect. Failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be
deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

5.2 The parties agree that a breach of this Agreement would result in irreparable injury, that
money damages would not be a sufficient remedy and that the disclosing party shall be entitled to
equitable relief, including injunctive relief, as a non-exclusive remedy for any such breach.

5.3 Notices given under this Agreement shall be given in writing and delivered by messenger or
overnight delivery service to a party and their respective Counsel at their last known address, and
shall be deemed to have been given on the day received.

5.4 This Agreement is effective and binding upon each party as of the date it is signed by or on
behalf of a party and may be amended only by a writing signed by or on behalf of each party. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts. Any signature reproduced or transmitted via email of a
 .pdf file, photocopy, facsimile or other process of complete and accurate reproduction and
transmission shall be considered an original for purposes of this Agreement.

This Agreement is being executed by each of the undersigned Counsel with the fully informed
authority and consent of the respective party it represents.
