SPECIFICATIONS FOR MATERIALS AND PROCESS

Materials Descriptions

General

Physical Media Locking

Modern CD copy protection systems utilize a CD that has embedded methodologies that make it uncopyable without specialized software and/or hardware (usually a CD with deliberate errors on certain tracks), which is checked during application initialization. Applications installed on the media are written to check the media for the protection signature (errors) and load or run correctly if the media is valid. The problem with this approach is that it is typically an easy process to remove the media checks from the application.

To prevent media checks from being removed from the application, a form of software security needs to be applied. Application code, which checks the media, is embedded directly within the application and is subsequently wrapped along with the application so that the validation becomes a direct part of the application. The executable (application) file itself is wrapped using SmarteSECURE, which effectively protects the wrapped application from modification, or reverse engineering, thereby protecting not only itself, but the integral CD media validation function.

Smarte’s protection solution, as provided to Microsoft is designed to prevent casual copying of CD media. Smarte defines casual copying as any non-raw mode copy of the CD or a non-raw mode copy of the CD image. Smarte will deliver SmarteMASTER V2.0, SmarteSECURE v2.0 with the Application Protection and Media Protection Modules, as well as the SmarteSuite  COM Extension Element and End-User Exception List Utility to Microsoft as outlined in the technology overview. 

SmarteSECURE V2.0 Application Protection Module

SmarteSECURE Application Protection Module delivers robust IP protection. It enables a balance between the necessary levels of product protection and revenue retention/generation capabilities.  This gives you the ability to securely distribute your solution within a trusted environment, protecting your IP throughout its lifecycle.  

SmarteSECURE’s 7-layer defense system protects an executable (application) file from modification, hacking, reverse engineering, etc.  It allows the end user complete flexibility through a simple to use process flow driven interface.  In addition, SmarteSECURE can be extended to meet Microsoft specific needs by developing and embedding COM objects directly into this flow.   

Features

§

Injected Code: Security code is injected not only at the start of the program, but throughout it. This allows security to be checked throughout the application’s execution. 

§

Compression: Protected software is reduced up to 70% of its original size with no appreciable deterioration in startup or execution performance.

§

Encryption: Protected software is encrypted and decrypts only when run. 

§

Relocation: Security code is moved in memory as it runs and at no time is the entire loader running in memory at once.

§

Modification of Code: Allows you to customize the application to specific needs such as protecting access to additional levels of a product or allowing dual distribution methods that require both CD and Internet access to run.

§

Dual Process Security: The security is verified in a secondary process.

§

Anti-debug Code: Offers protection from debuggers, disassemblers, decompilers, process dumpers and other tools that allow software to be examined at its lowest level and then reversed to become readable instructions. Special routines are inserted to detect cracking tools.

§

Code Mutation (Intelligent Security Engine – ISE) – Provides the highest level of protection of the IP to where a generic crack becomes a virtual impossibility, including polymorphic encryption and injected code routines and methods.

§

Unique file-based physical corruption of the media.

§

Media originality validation system capable of automatically checking for the unique file-based physical corruption (with the Media Protection Module add-on as described below).

§

Flexible validation system that allows publishers to dictate the frequency and location of checks as well as the actions taken based on the checks.

§

Custom Element Addition Capability: The system accepts COM objects created by the producer that can be added to the flow, whereby the functionality and contents are “fused” and protected within the protected application itself, eliminating

Media Protection Module V2.0

The Media Protection Module determines whether or not optical disc media is valid/original and returns this information back to the calling application.  It provides options in which original media must be present in order for the application to run.  The Media Protection Module is also designed to be fully compatible with the SmarteSuite End-User Exception List Utility developed for Microsoft.

SmarteMASTER V2.0

SmarteMASTER offers the industry’s only fail-safe piracy protection logistics solution for in-house CD or network mastering. It will allow Microsoft to securely and efficiently produce CD masters with piracy management controls, ship protected gold masters and send protected files over a network to authorized replicators, duplicators and beta customers

SmarteMASTER maintains the same build standards for the final CD currently used by the producer, regardless of the original build utility. Specifically, the producer uses SmarteSECURE to apply the appropriate protection process flow to their executable (application) file, specifying the file name and path of the “target” file on the CD. The Producer then masters the CD in the same manner that they do currently, with the exception that they add two “placeholder” files to the CD, one of which is the “target” file that provides the basis for the CD validation, and the other, referred to as the “Ident” file, allows for the CD to be seamlessly processed through subsequent in-house duplication and/or replication/testing. This CD is then passed through the SmarteMASTER program, which creates a final protected CD that is a virtual duplicate (exclusive of embedded replication failsafe mechanism) of the final CD as processed through final mass production (replication).

Features

§

Limited Touch Methodology: The SmarteMASTER system only affects those areas of the user data that are required for the protection. All other areas of the user data of the CD remain exactly as they were originally written to the CD by the producer.

§

Ident File: Allows replication encoder, mastering, and testing equipment/systems and plug-ins to perform all required operations from the CD itself without the need for an additional external 

Page 14

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL HAS BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

ALL OMITTED INFORMATION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH <**>

file/disk that could be lost/mixed with a different CD/batch. This file also allows the producer access to enable integration with internal tools, such as an internal image verification/CRC utility.

§

Replication Failsafe: Since the produced CD itself has the protection embedded within it, Replication software itself fails when attempting to encode from the disc unless a licensed and authorized plug-in is activated, preventing human error in creating CD’s without the protection, eliminating delays and cost associated with such errors. In addition to this, a replicated CD has a modification “invisible” to other systems that prevents a replicated CD itself from being processed as a master.

§

Local Disc Generation: Final CD’s are created directly at the developer’s desk if desired, eliminating the need for an external “gatekeeper” of the producer’s technology. The SmarteMASTER system supports a number of standard CD burner drives, eliminating the requirement for “special” hardware.

§

Validation Utilities: The SmarteMASTER system has inbuilt validation utilities that allow for the verification of the protection as applied to the CD, as well as “content” based verification that can perform a byte for byte evaluation of file content written to the CD as compared to either another CD or from a hard drive where the structure was laid out, independent of physical order/position of the files on the CD, enabling the producer to validate that the content itself on the CD is exactly the same as the content from the parent source.

§

Final CD produces no “physical” defects: The final CD produces no E32/E22 errors identified by testers which indicate a “defective” replicate for discs produced during replication.

SmarteSuite Developers Kit End-User Exception List Utility

It is recognized that no protection is 100% compatible with all CD read drives produced as the industry itself is not fully standardized in it’s actual interpretation methodologies of the CD’s. To this end, the End-User Exception List Utility can be distributed with the protected application to produce an encrypted file by the end user from their machine (encryption is different from that used by the exception listing itself) whereby when received by Smarte Solutions via Microsoft Support, can be used rapidly create a “patch” file which can be either a “standard” listing used to maintain permanently known problem drive identification information, or used to create a file unique to the individual user sending the information. Either file, when returned to the user, allows the incompatibility verification step to be bypassed (other checks with 0% incompatibility remain), effectively “patching” the application such that the user can now run the protected CD.

Benefits

§

No Redistribution of CD’s: Since this methodology allows for the “patch” to be generated and subsequently handled electronically, there is no need to ever send a “new” CD to a customer within the context of incompatibility.

§

No “Unprotected” CD distribution: Failing a path capability, many producers are forced to either refund the customer’s money, or in most cases, will eventually send out an unprotected version of their software. The End-User Exception List utility ensures that the producer will NEVER have to send out unprotected versions of their software within the context of incompatibility.

Acceptance Criteria for Materials

The SmarteSECURE Application Protection product will successfully protect a test, beta and/or final game executable.  By utilizing the Media Protection Module, the executable will include a validation step that ensures an original CD is present (as produced by the SmarteMASTER system).  Attempts at 

Page 15

ALL OMITTED INFORMATION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH <**>

debugging/cracking/copying the application should fail. The debugger should not be able to break into the game code, nor should circumvention of the copy protected file check be possible by a simple binary patch to the encrypted executable.

SmarteMASTER will be able to successfully create a fully protected CD-R both for internal testing, beta testing, and potential delivery to an authorized replicator (meaning it will have the Ident file present if it is mastered in that method). In addition, simple copying of the protected CD-R using a consumer level CD authoring toolkit (such as Roxio’s EZ CD Creator) should not produce a workable CD.

Finally the encrypted application that includes checks for an original/ valid CD-R will properly start and execute on at least 90% of the test systems used for configuration testing. These systems will have been determined to be able to properly start and execute an unprotected/non-encrypted version of the test application/game as a control test. Failed drives will be identified using the End-user Exception List utility and the resultant information will then be passed to Smarte Solutions.  Smarte Solutions will create an exception list file for those fail drives.  Microsoft will retest the respective drives.  This process will continue until the indicated drives pass.

Specification For Process

Microsoft Ops Procedures

To summarize the internal process, Microsoft will be required to:

1.

Develop and apply a protection process flow to their application utilizing SmarteSECURE 2.0 and the Applications Protection and Media Protection Modules.

2.

Add an installer as per normal operations (if needed).

3.

Burn the application distribution package to a CD-R.

4.

Produce the final CD-R using one of the following methods:

a.

Create protected masters entirely in-house using SmarteMASTER 2.0 mastering software. This software will be customized to function on specific CD burners (such as Plextor burner).

b.

Send the Intermediate Master to Smarte which will produce the final masters and deliver those to Microsoft.

5.

Replicate the protected CD-R’s using one of the following three methods:

a.

Forward the protected CD-R to an approved replication facility(ies) for mastering.

b.

Electronically transmit the protected image to an approved and enabled replication facility(ies) for mastering.

c.

Duplicate via a Smarte-enabled Rimage unit.

The replicator will require SmarteMASTER software upgrades (plug-in’s) from their encoder and test equipment provider(s) (such as DCA , Eclipse, CD Associates, etc.) to enable mastering, verification and testing of the protected product. Smarte has worked with the imager, encoder and test equipment vendors to develop these plug-in enhancements per Microsoft’s supplied requirements for rollout .

Smarte Solutions development required for mastering, replication and test 

Smarte Solutions has created and delivered to Microsoft for initial testing the SmarteMASTER Version 2.0 software, as well as the SmarteSECURE Application Protection and Media Protection Modules. Smarte has architected the capability to allow Microsoft to implement their custom/internal utilities/tools such as the Microsoft CD CRC tool in creation of a compatible version for verification of CD-R masters and final replicas (which is believed to be already accomplished for this internal tool). In addition, Smarte has developed and delivered the requisite plug-in’s for the various equipment manufactures instrumental

in the replication and duplication process (including Rimage, DCA, Eclipse, CD Associates, etc.).  These plug-ins are required for the production process but are not the property of Smarte and as such are not licensed as part of this agreement. 

Smarte Solutions will maintain ongoing relationships with applicable Mastering, Replication, Duplication and Test equipment vendors to expediently address manufacturing issues.  Smarte will also develop equipment version upgrades as needed to support efficient, high quality manufacturing of Microsoft product.

Smarte is responsible for supporting the development, test and sign-off of:

·

SmarteSecure capable MS CD CRC tool.  

·

Microsoft Release Lab processing of SmarteSecure protected masters.  Including, but not limited to anti-virus scanning, Rimage Duplication and CRC checking.

Smarte has created and will maintain a Replicator Certification program to insure control and proper integration of the technology throughout mastering, verification, replication, test and security.  Smarte to provide Certification program details to Microsoft as well as ongoing program updates.

The Process:

The goal is to allow Microsoft to reduce the inherent costs of limited production/on-demand CD production by providing the capability to produce protected masters in-house, as well as provide the capability to produce fail-safe protected masters that can be sent to CD Replication houses for mass production/replication. This allows Microsoft the ability to create protected masters “on-demand” at a developers desktop, thereby reducing the inherent processing time during testing and vulnerabilities associated with unprotected IP being used internally, for beta testing, etc. This also provides a “fail-safe”, whereby a protected disk sent to a Replicator without the appropriate SmarteMASTER plug-ins, will fail during the mastering, thereby preventing the needless production of invalid media or pirated IP. In addition, with the methodology outlined, Microsoft should never have to distribute an unprotected version of their software due to incompatibility issues.

Local Protection “Gold Master” Generation

Microsoft will utilize SmarteMASTER to produce protected Gold Masters as follows:

3.

Microsoft uses SmarteMASTER to create necessary placeholder files. Microsoft then creates the install package for the protected .exe.

4.

Microsoft creates the Intermediate Master using conventional CD burning software. 

5.

Microsoft uses SmarteMASTER and the Intermediate Master to create the final disc image.

6.

Microsoft uses SmarteMASTER to produce the “Gold Master”.

Summary Information Regarding the “Ident” File:

This file is a readable data file (data encrypted) that contains the information regarding the current and future Versions of SmarteSECURE Media Protection, as well as creates an information file for SmarteMASTER enabled replicator imager, encoder and test equipment vendors to derive information regarding employed protections on the supplied master disk. 

The Ident File does two things:

1.

Records where the corruption is location, and

2.

Records which sectors data changes were made.

The CRC equipment will utilize this information to skip the modified sectors.

In addition, Smarte has extended the SmarteMASTER product to incorporate customized development to support the Microsoft in-house CRC tool.

Page 25Engagement Letter by Vincera of Fifth Street Capital

September 13, 2005

Mr. David R. Malmstedt

President and Chief Executive Officer

Vincera, Inc.

611 S. Congress Avenue, Suite 350

Austin, Texas  78704

Dear Mr. Malmstedt:

This letter outlines the terms upon which Fifth Street Capital, LLC (“5th Street”) is to be engaged by Vincera, Inc. (the “Company”) to act as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with the private placement (the “Offering”) of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Securities”) to be issued by the Company to raise up to $10,225,000, and the conversion of the existing subordinated promissory notes issued in June, July, and August 2004 (the “Bridge Notes”).

1.

Services.

5th Street agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Offering and the conversion of the Bridge Notes.  The terms of the Offering shall be subject to mutual agreement of the Company and each purchaser of Securities.  5th Street will contact potential investors, assist in the negotiation and the structuring of the investment in the Company, and provide related services that 5th Street deems advisable and reasonable that may facilitate the successful completion of the Offering.  5th Street will conduct all sales and solicitation efforts in a manner consistent with your intent that the Offering be an exempt transaction pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  In undertaking its services hereunder, 5th Street shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the information contained in the private placement memorandum to be used in connection with the Offering and all information provided by the Company to potential investors (collectively, “Information”).  5th Street may engage additional selling group members (each, a “Selling Group Member” and collectively, the “Selling Group”) to assist Fifth Street with the Offering.  To the extent a Selling Group Member participates in the Offering, the 5th Street agrees to directly compensate such Selling Group Member in the manner set forth in Paragraph 3 below.

2.

Due Diligence Review.  Prior to the Offering, 5th Street and its representatives undertook substantial investigations to learn about the Company's business and operations ("due diligence review") in order to confirm information provided to us and to evaluate information to be contained in the documents generated in connection with the Offering.  The Company agrees that it made and will continue to make available to 5th Street all relevant information, whether or not 

Vincera, Inc.

September 13, 2005

Page 2

publicly available, which 5th Street reasonably requests, and will permit 5th Street to discuss personnel and the operations and prospects of the Company with management. 5th Street will treat all proprietary, trade secret and other non-public information of the Company as confidential. The Company acknowledges that 5th Street will rely upon the accuracy and completeness of all information received from the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, accountants and counsel.  5th Street will submit documents which it prepares at the request of the Company to the Company for its review and approval prior to use in negotiations with or release to prospective interested purchasers.  5th Street will not release any prepared documents to prospective purchasers if the Company believes that such documents would violate applicable federal or state securities laws.  To the extent such documents have been released to one or more prospective purchasers, 5th Street agrees to use its best commercial efforts to recall all distributed documents or distribute any amendment necessary to gain compliance with applicable law.

3.

Offers.

The Securities will be offered substantially on the terms set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A, as the same may be amended by the mutual agreement of the Company and the purchasers, and will be sold at one or more closings (each a “Closing”) pursuant to a purchase agreement between the Company and the purchasers of the Securities which shall (i) contain customary representations, warranties and covenants on behalf of the Company, (ii) contain such other terms and conditions as shall be agreed to by the Company and the purchasers of the Securities, and (iii) contain customary representations and warranties of the purchasers of such Securities.  The Company agrees that any escrow arrangements required by law or regulation to be utilized in connection with this Offering will be maintained at a “bank” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).

In order to coordinate our efforts during the term of our engagement hereunder, the Company hereby agrees not to initiate any discussions looking toward any investment in the Company without first notifying 5th Street.  In the event that the Company, its directors, management or controlling shareholders or agents receive any inquiry or are otherwise aware of the interest of any third party concerning such an investment during the term of the engagement, they will promptly inform 5th Street of the prospective investor and its interest.  Consistent with the parties’ intention that the Offering will be an exempt transaction, we may offer the Securities to both U.S. and non-U.S. persons and institutions.  The Company confirms that accredited investors across this range are acceptable.  Persons and entities which are associated with or affiliates of 5th Street, or for which 5th Street exercises investment discretion (“Related Investors”) may be advised of the Offering by 5th Street.  With the Company’s consent, such Related Investors shall be permitted to purchase Securities.

You shall advise us of those states in which the Securities have been qualified or exempted under the appropriate securities laws.  The Company agrees not to solicit any offerees or take any action which might jeopardize the availability of the exemption under the Securities Act.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees that except for the Securities and the issuance of stock options or shares of common stock issuable pursuant to (i) the Company’s stock option plans and restricted stock plans, (ii) a written compensation contract for the provision of services to the Company or (iii) the conversion or exercise of securities of the 

Vincera, Inc.

September 13, 2005

Page 3

Company outstanding on the date hereof, the Company shall not offer to sell any securities of the same class or similar securities as the Securities from the date hereof until after a period of six (6) months have elapsed after the date of the last sale of the Securities unless the Company shall have determined that such proposed offering does not cause any violation of any securities laws, rules or regulations.

4.

Fees.

As compensation for its services under this Agreement, 5th Street will receive (i) a cash fee of 7% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Securities sold in the Offering and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes.  In addition, 5th Street will receive that number of Securities whose aggregate value equals 1% of the gross proceeds from the Securities sold (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes), (ii) warrants to purchase that number of Securities whose aggregate value equals 7% of the gross proceeds from the Securities sold at an exercise price equal to the offering price per Security (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes) and (iii) warrants to purchase that number of securities whose aggregate value equals 4% of the gross proceeds from the Securities sold at an exercise price equal to 165% of the offering price per Securities (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes) (collectively with the cash fee, the “Placement Fee”). If more than one closing is required to complete the Offering, then only that portion of the Placement Fee applicable to each closing shall be payable at such closing.  To the extent that a Selling Group Member assists 5th Street in the Offering, 5th Street shall compensate such Selling Group member as agreed to between 5th Street and such Selling Group Member. 

In addition, the Company agrees to reimburse 5th Street for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and expenses of 5th Street’s legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed $225,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement Cap”), including those fees and expenses related to the previously withdrawn initial public offering, in connection with the Offering and the conversion of the Bridge Notes.

If more than one closing is required to complete the Offering, then only that portion of the Expense Reimbursement Amount applicable to each closing shall be payable at such closing.  The Company also agrees to be responsible for and to bear all fees, costs and expenses, relating to the filing and compliance with state and federal securities laws in connection with the sale of Securities contemplated hereby.

Neither 5th Street nor any of its affiliates (nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls 5th Street within the meaning of the Securities Act) shall be liable to the Company for any claim, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense suffered by the Company arising out of or related to this engagement except for a claim, loss or expense that arises primarily out of or is based primarily upon any action or failure to act by 5th Street, other than an action or failure to act undertaken at the request or with the consent of the Company, that (i) constitutes bad faith, willful misconduct, negligence or gross negligence on the part of 5th Street, (ii) relates to the obligations of 5th

 Street pursuant to Section 8 hereof or (iii) arise from specific written representations made by 5th Street to the Company.

Indemnification.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless 5th Street, members of the Selling Group and any of its directors, officers, agents, and employees, and each person, if any, who controls 5th Street within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses that are awarded in a final judicial determination (or settlement tantamount thereto) (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel and all reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigation of, preparation for and defense of any pending or threatened claim and any litigation or other proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which 5th Street or any other indemnified person is a party) related to or arising out of 5th Street’s engagement hereunder including, without limitation, the Information; provided, however, there shall be excluded from such indemnification any such claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses that arise primarily out of or are based primarily upon any action or failure to act by 5th Street, that is found in a final judicial determination (or a settlement tantamount thereto) to (i) constitute bad faith, willful misconduct, negligence or gross negligence on the part of 5th Street, (ii) relate to the obligations of 5th Street pursuant to Section 8 hereof, or (iii) arise from specific representations made by 5th Street to the Company in writing.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

In case any proceeding shall be instituted involving any person in respect to whom indemnity may be sought, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the Company, and the Company, upon the request of the indemnified party, shall retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the Company to represent the indemnified party and any others the Company may designate in such proceedings and shall pay as incurred the actual and reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.  In the event the indemnified party fails to notify the Company of such proceeding promptly after such indemnified party becomes aware of such proceeding, the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense, except that the Company shall pay as incurred the fees and expenses of legal counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event that (i) the Company and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would constitute a real or perceived conflict of interest in the reasonable opinion of the indemnified party, due to actual or potential differing interests between them.  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company agrees to indemnify the indemnified party to the extent set forth in this letter.

The Company will not, without the prior written consent of 5th Street, settle any litigation relating to 5th Street’s engagement hereunder unless such settlement involves solely the payment of money and includes an express, complete and unconditional release of 5th Street and its

The provisions of this agreement relating to indemnification shall survive termination or modification of our engagement and shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company.
