      Agreement”),
      pursuant to which Handheld will purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the
      outstanding capital stock of Putfile Limited (the “Interest”),
      of

    WHEREAS,
      Article 7 of the Purchase Agreement provides for the indemnification of Handheld
      from certain losses that may be incurred by it; and

     

    WHEREAS,
      consummation of the Purchase Agreement is conditioned upon the execution and
      delivery of this Agreement and this Agreement is an essential part of the
      consideration for which Handheld is willing to enter into the Purchase Agreement
      and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and for other good and
      valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
      acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:

     

    1. Appointment
      of Escrow Agent.
      

     

    (a) The
      parties hereto hereby designate and appoint the Escrow Agent as escrow agent
      to
      act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent agrees
      to act as such escrow agent on the terms, conditions and provisions provided
      in
      this Agreement.

      Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
      Agreement;

     

    2. Escrow
      Account.
      

     

    (a) The
      Escrow Agent shall establish the Escrow Account as an Attorney Trust Account
      with such bank with offices in San Francisco, California, as it shall deem
      appropriate. Gerald V. Niesar shall be the only signatory on the Escrow Account.
      The Escrow Agent shall provide each of Handheld and Owner with complete
      information concerning the Escrow Account, including a telephone access code

    3. Payments
      From Escrow.
      The
      Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Account in accordance with this Agreement
      and
      shall make payments from the Escrow Account only as provided by Sections 3
      and 4
      hereof or as further directed in writing by both Owner and
      Handheld:

     

    (a) In
      the
      event the Escrow Agent is duly instructed to disburse funds from the Escrow
      Account to any party, (i) the Escrow Agent shall disburse such funds by mailing
      a check to such party at the address set forth in the instruction; or (ii)
      if
      the Escrow Agent is instructed to transfer funds from the Escrow Account to
      any
      bank for the account of any party, the Escrow Agent shall disburse such funds
      by
      electronic transfer; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent may require the
      party issuing the instruction to agree to appropriate security procedures to
      verify that the instruction is that of such issuing party;

     

    (b) Handheld
      shall be paid such amounts as are authorized to be paid to Handheld pursuant
      to
      Section 4 below.

     

    (c) One
      (1)
      year following the Effective Date, Owner shall be paid an amount equal to the
      entire Unclaimed Deposit (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this
      agreement, the “Unclaimed
      Deposit”
shall
      mean the entire balance of the Escrow Account then remaining, minus the
      aggregate of the then existing Claim Reserves for Open Claims and any interest
      accrued thereon. 

     

    (d) Within
      two (2) banking days of the Escrow Agent’s having received a copy of a Final
      Determination (as hereinafter defined) for an Open Claim, the amount payable
      to
      Handheld under the Final Determination for such Open Claim shall be paid to
      Handheld from the Claim Reserve for such Open Claim and the balance of such
      Claim Reserve shall then be paid to Owner, to the extent authorized in Section
      4
      below.

     

    (e) Within
      two (2) banking days of the Escrow Agent’s having received a joint written
      instruction by Handheld and Owner that an Open Claim is no longer disputed,
      the
      Escrow Agent shall pay the Claim Reserve for such Open Claim plus any interest
      accrued thereon to Owner; provided, however that if the date set forth in
      Section 3(c) has not yet passed, such portion of the Claim Reserve plus any
      interest accrued thereon shall simply cease to be a reserved portion of the
      Escrow Account. 

     

    (f) Any
      disbursement of funds to the Owner pursuant to this Agreement shall be made
      pro
      rata to each of Robert Page and Gordon Page based on the relative portions
      of
      the Interest held by them prior to the Closing.

     

    4. Handheld
      Claims.
      The
      procedure for payments from the Escrow Account shall be as follows:

     

    (a) From
      time
      to time prior to the date identified in Section 3(c) above as Handheld
      determines that it is entitled to an indemnification payment under Article
      VII
      of the Purchase Agreement, it may request payment from the Escrow Account by
      giving written notice of its claim to the Escrow Agent and Owner in accordance
      with the provisions of Section 13 below, certifying in such notice (i) the
      nature of the claim, (ii) the amount thereof if then ascertainable and, if
      not
      then ascertainable, the estimated maximum amount thereof (provided however,
      that
      Handheld shall provide the Escrow Agent with a specific amount), (iii)
      provisions in the Purchase Agreement on which the claim is based, (iv) that
      such
      request for payment is being made in good faith, and (v) that notice of
      Handheld’s request for indemnification has been provided to Owner in accordance
      with Article VII of the Purchase Agreement (a “Claim
      Notice”).

     

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b) If
      the
      Escrow Agent has not received written objection to a Claim Notice given by
      Handheld in accordance with the preceding Section 4(a) from Owner within twenty
      (20) days after receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Claim Notice of such claim
      from Handheld, the Escrow Agent shall promptly thereafter pay to Handheld,
      in
      the manner specified in the Claim Notice, from the Escrow Account the amount
      of
      such claim to the extent of the funds in the Escrow Account, plus any interest
      accrued on such amount through the date of payment. 

     

    (c) If
      within
      said twenty (20) days the Escrow Agent shall have received from Owner an
      objection to the claim by Handheld, certifying the nature of and grounds for
      such objection and that such objection is being made in good faith (a copy
      of
      which shall in each case be sent to Handheld by Owner in accordance with the
      provisions of Section 13 below), then such claim shall be deemed to be an
“Open
      Claim”
and
      the
      Escrow Agent shall reserve within the Escrow Account an amount equal to the
      amount of the Open Claim (which amount for each Open Claim is referred to herein
      as the “Claim
      Reserve”).

     

    (d) The
      amount constituting the Claim Reserve for each Open Claim shall be paid by
      the
      Escrow Agent from the Escrow Account to Handheld only either (i) in accordance
      with a joint written instruction by Handheld and Owner or (ii) if and to the
      extent consistent with either (A) a certified copy of a final order, decree
      or
      judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction pertaining to the Open Claim
      or
      (B) a certified copy of a final result, determination, finding, judgment and/or
      award from an arbitrator pertaining to the Open Claim, sent to the Escrow Agent
      by Handheld or the Owner (a “Final
      Determination”),
      and
      any portion of the Claim Reserve for such Open Claim not so required to be
      paid
      to Handheld shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Owner in accordance with
      Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) above and such Claim Reserve shall be reduced
      to
      zero; provided, however that if the date set forth in Section 3(c) has not
      yet
      passed, such portion of the Claim Reserve shall simply cease to be a reserved
      portion of the Escrow Account.

     

    5. Termination.
      

     

    (a) This
      Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of:

     

    (i) the

      Owner that this Agreement shall be terminated; or

     

    (ii) the
      date
      on which the Escrow Agent shall have delivered the entire Escrow Account to
      Handheld or Owner in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3(c), 3(d)

    7. Liability
      of Escrow Agent.
      In
      order to induce the Escrow Agent to act as escrow agent hereunder, the parties
      hereto agree that: 

     

    (a) The
      Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to enforce any of
      the
      terms or conditions of the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement between
      Handheld and Owner.

     

    (b) The
      Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for
      the
      performance of or by Handheld and Owner of their respective obligations under
      this Agreement nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any manner
      whatsoever for the failure of the other parties to this Escrow Agreement or
      of
      any third party to honor any of the provisions of this Escrow
      Agreement.

     

    (c) The
      parties hereto represent to the Escrow Agent that they are authorized to enter
      into the Escrow Agreement by their duly authorized representatives and that

      confirm the authority of the representatives.

     

    (d) The
      duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be limited to and determined
      solely by the express provisions of this Escrow Agreement and no implied duties
      or obligations shall be read into this Escrow Agreement against the Escrow
      Agent.

     

    (e) The
      Escrow Agent is not bound by and is under no duty to inquire into the terms
      or

      Agent in connection with this Escrow Agreement.

     

    (f) The
      Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act which the Escrow Agent may do

    (g) It
      is
      understood that all checks received by the Escrow Agent hereunder are subject
      to

      shall notify the party on whose account the check was drawn and redeposit such
      check for collection upon the verbal instructions of such party. Notwithstanding

      by the Escrow Agent hereunder is uncollectible after payment of the funds
      represented thereby has been made pursuant to the terms hereof, the party on
      whose account the check was drawn shall immediately reimburse of the Escrow
      Agent and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the returned check or instrument to
      such party.

    (h) Neither
      this Escrow Agreement, nor any other agreement between Handheld, Owner and
      the
      Escrow Agent shall be deemed to create a joint venture between the Escrow Agent
      and Handheld or Owner. Nor shall the Escrow Agent be considered the alter ego
      of
      Handheld or Owner by virtue of this Agreement, or any other
      agreement.

     

    (i) the
      Escrow Agent shall not in any way be bound or affected by any amendment or
      modification of this Agreement, unless the same shall have been agreed to in
      writing by the Escrow Agent;

     

    (j) the
      Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the property held hereunder
      any
      greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property;

     

    (k) the
      Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon and shall incur no liability for or in
      respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by
      it in
      reliance upon, any notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement
      or other paper or document reasonably believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine
      and to have been presented or signed by the proper party or
      parties;

     

    (l) the

      in such certificate or amounts delivered thereby. The Escrow Agent shall not
      be
      responsible for any failure by Handheld or Owner to comply with any of their
      respective covenants contained in this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or
      any
      other agreement;

     

    (m) the
      Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to take any legal action
      in
      connection with this Agreement or to enforce, through the institution of legal
      proceedings or otherwise, any of its rights as Escrow Agent hereunder or any
      rights of any other party hereto pursuant to this Escrow Agreement or any other
      agreement, nor shall it be required to defend any action or legal proceeding
      which, in its opinion, would or might involve the Escrow Agent in any cost,
      expense, loss or liability;

     

    (n) the
      Escrow Agent may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction

      shall be borne by Handheld and Owner) of its choosing in reference to any matter
      connected herewith, and shall have full and complete authorization and
      protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and
      in
      accordance with the opinion of such counsel and shall not be liable for any
      mistake of fact or error of judgment, or for any acts or omissions of any kind
      unless caused by its willful misconduct, gross negligence or failure to act
      in
      good faith;

     

    (p) notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Escrow Agent shall be
      uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, shall receive any notice,
      advice, direction, or other document from any other party with respect to this
      Agreement which, in its opinion, is in conflict with any of the provisions
      of
      this Agreement, or should be advised that a dispute has arisen with respect
      to
      the payment, ownership, or right of possession of or to the Escrow Account
      or
      any interest on the Escrow Account or any part thereof (or as to the delivery,
      non-delivery, or content of any notice, advice, direction or other document),
      the Escrow Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated), without liability to
      anyone, to refrain from taking any action other than to use its best efforts
      to
      keep safely the Escrow Account until the Escrow Agent shall be directed
      otherwise in writing by the other parties hereto or by an order, decree or
      judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction which has been finally affirmed
      on
      appeal or which by lapse of time or otherwise is no longer subject to appeal,
      but the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to institute or to defend any
      proceeding, although it may institute or defend such proceedings;

    (q) Handheld
      and Owner hereby authorize the Escrow Agent, if the Escrow Agent is threatened
      with litigation or is sued, to interplead all interested parties in any court
      of
      competent jurisdiction and to deposit the Escrow Account with the clerk of
      that
      court; and

     

    (r) this
      Agreement sets forth exclusively the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect
      to
      any and all matters pertinent hereto and no implied duties or obligations shall
      be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent.

     

    8. Indemnification.
      

     

    (a) Handheld
      and Owner each covenant and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow
      Agent on a several basis only against any costs or expenses (including
      attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages,
      liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action,
      suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or pertaining to this
      Agreement, and in the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or
      investigation: (i) Handheld and Owner shall each pay the reasonable fees and
      expenses of counsel selected by the Escrow Agent, promptly as statements
      therefor are received; and (ii) Handheld and Owner will cooperate in the defense
      of any such matter; except that Handheld and Owner shall not have any obligation
      to indemnify the Escrow Agent against any cost, expense, judgment, fine, loss,
      claim, damage, liability or settlement amount arising out of or pertaining
      to
      this Agreement arising from the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence, willful
      misconduct or failure to act in good faith. The obligations of Handheld and
      Owner under this paragraph shall survive: (i) the delivery of the Escrow Account
      or any interest on the Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) the
      termination of this Agreement; and (iii) the resignation or removal of the
      Escrow Agent. 

     

    (b) Handheld
      and Owner jointly and severally agree to assume any and all obligations imposed
      now or hereafter by any applicable tax law with respect to the payment of the
      Escrow Account under this Agreement, and to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent
      harmless from and against any taxes, additions for late payment, interest,
      penalties and other expenses that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent
      on
      any such payment or other activities under this Agreement. Handheld and Owner
      undertake to instruct the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to the Escrow
      Agent’s responsibility for withholding and other taxes, assessments or other
      governmental charges, certifications and governmental reporting in connection
      with its acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement. Handheld and Owner,
      jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless
      from any liability on account of taxes, assessments or other governmental
      charges, including without limitation the withholding or deduction or the
      failure to obtain proper certifications or to properly report to governmental
      authorities, to which the Escrow Agent may be or become subject in connection
      with or which arises out of this Agreement, including costs and expenses
      (including reasonable legal fees), interest and penalties.

    9. Resignation.
      The
      Escrow Agent may at any time resign as Escrow Agent by mailing written notice
      to
      Handheld and Owner of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which
      its desired resignation shall become effective, with such resignation being
      effective upon Escrow Agent’s delivery of the Escrow Account to any successor
      Escrow Agent designated by Handheld and Owner in writing or by any court of
      competent jurisdiction as provided below. Upon receiving such notice of
      resignation, Handheld and Owner shall promptly appoint a successor escrow agent
      by written instrument signed on behalf of Handheld and Owner, one copy of which
      shall be delivered to each of the resigning Escrow Agent and the successor
      escrow agent. If Handheld and Owner shall fail to make such appointment within
      a
      period of thirty (30) days after they have been notified in writing of such
      resignation by the resigning Escrow Agent, then the resigning Escrow Agent
      may

    INDEPENDENT
      CONTRACTOR SERVICES AGREEMENT

    

    

    This
      Agreement is made and entered into as of February 5, 2007 (the “Effective
      Date”),
      by
      and between HandHeld Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”),
      having a principal place of business at 539 Bryant Street, suite 403, San
      Francisco, California 94107 and Gordon Page, an individual having a principal
      place of business at 73 Lancaster Avenue, Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom
      (“Contractor”).

     

    WHEREAS,
      the Company has acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the capital stock of
      Putfile Limited (the “Business”),
      which
      business was previously managed by Contractor; and

     

    WHEREAS,
      the Company needs an experienced person to assist the Company with the
      successful transition of the Business from Contractor to the Company and to
      advise the Company regarding the Business; and 

     

    WHEREAS,
      the Company wishes to engage Contractor and Contractor wishes to be engaged
      by
      the Company for such purposes.

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein,
      the parties hereby agree as follows: 

     

    1. Engagement
      of Services.
      Company
      may engage the Contractor to perform the services more particularly described
      in
Exhibit A
      (“Project
      Assignment”).
      Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Contractor will render the services
      set
      forth in the Project Assignment accepted by Contractor in a timely manner.
      The
      Company and Contractor expect that Contractor will render such services remotely
      (i.e., outside of the United States). However, Contractor agrees to be available
      to render services to the Company for a period of no less than one (1) week
      per
      calendar month (“On
      Site Services”)
      at the
      Company’s San Francisco office, which is located at the address set forth
      above.

     

    2. Compensation;
      Timing.
      Company
      will pay Contractor the fee set forth in the Project Assignment for services
      rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement for
      any
      reason, Contractor will be paid fees on the basis stated in the Project
      Assignment(s) for services which have been completed. Contractor will be
      reimbursed only for expenses which are incurred prior to termination of this
      Agreement for any reason and which are either expressly identified in a Project
      Assignment or approved in advance in writing by a Company manager. Contractor
      will be reimbursed for such fees and expenses no later than seven (7) days
      after
      Company’s receipt of Contractor’s invoice, provided that reimbursement for
      expenses may be delayed until such time as Contractor has furnished such
      documentation for authorized expenses as Company may reasonably request. Time
      for payment of Contractor’s fees shall be of the essence of this Agreement. If
      any payments are not made on their due date for payment interest shall be paid
      to the Contractor at the rate of 6% per annum accruing daily and payable for
      the
      date payment fell due to the date of actual payment (both dates
      inclusive).

     

    3. Independent
      Contractor Relationship.
      Contractor’s relationship with Company is that of an independent contractor, and
      nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed to, create
      a
      partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship. Contractor will
      not be entitled to any of the benefits which Company may make available to
      its
      employees, including, but not limited to, group health or life insurance,
      profit-sharing or retirement benefits. Contractor is not authorized to make
      any
      representation, contract or commitment on behalf of Company unless specifically
      requested or authorized in writing to do so by a Company manager. Contractor
      is
      solely responsible for, and will file, on a timely basis, all tax returns and
      payments required to be filed with, or made to, any relevant tax authority
      with
      respect to the performance of services and receipt of fees under this Agreement.
      Contractor is also solely responsible for, and will file, on a timely basis
      all
      tax returns and payments required by any foreign tax authority. Contractor
      is
      solely responsible for, and must maintain adequate records of, expenses incurred
      in the course of performing services under this Agreement. No part of
      Contractor’s compensation will be subject to withholding by Company for the
      payment of any social security, federal, state or any other employee payroll
      taxes (whether such taxes arise under United States or foreign law). Company
      will regularly report amounts paid to Contractor by filing Form 1099-MISC with
      the Internal Revenue Service as required by law.

    4. Intellectual
      Property Rights.

     

    4.1 Disclosure
      and Assignment of Innovations.

     

    (a) Innovations;
      Company Innovations.
      “Innovations”
      includes processes, machines, compositions of matter, improvements, inventions
      (whether or not protectable under patent laws), works of authorship, information
      fixed in any tangible medium of expression (whether or not protectable under
      copyright laws), moral rights, mask works, trademarks, trade names, trade dress,
      trade secrets, know-how, ideas (whether or not protectable under trade secret
      laws), and all other subject matter protectable under patent, copyright, moral
      right, mask work, trademark, trade secret or other laws, and includes without
      limitation all new or useful art, combinations, discoveries, formulae,
      manufacturing techniques, technical developments, discoveries, artwork,
      software, and designs. “Company
      Innovations”
are
      Innovations that Contractor, solely or jointly with others, conceives, reduces
      to practice, creates, derives, develops or makes within the scope of
      Contractor’s work for Company under this Agreement.

     

    (b) Disclosure
      and Ownership of Company Innovations.
      Contractor agrees to make and maintain adequate and current records of all
      Company Innovations, which records shall be and remain the property of Company.
      Contractor agrees to promptly disclose to Company every Company Innovation.
      Contractor hereby does and will assign to Company or Company’s designee
      Contractor’s entire worldwide right, title and interest in and to all Company
      Innovations and all associated records and intellectual property rights. To
      the
      extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to Company Innovations
      cannot be assigned by Contractor to Company, Contractor hereby grants to Company
      an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide license (with
      rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to practice such
      non-assignable rights, title and interest. To the extent any of the rights,
      title and interest in and to the Company Innovations can be neither assigned
      nor
      licensed by Contractor to Company, Contractor hereby irrevocably waives and
      agrees never to assert such non-assignable and non-licensable rights, title
      and
      interest against Company or any of Company’s successors in interest to such
      non-assignable and non-licensable rights.

     

    (c) Assistance.
      Contractor agrees to execute upon Company’s request a signed transfer of Company
      Innovations to Company in the form included in each Project Assignment for
      each
      of the Company Innovations, including, but not limited to, computer programs,
      notes, sketches, drawings and reports. Contractor agrees to assist Company
      in
      any reasonable manner to obtain, perfect and enforce, for Company’s benefit,
      Company’s rights, title and interest in any and all countries, in and to all
      patents, copyrights, moral rights, mask works, trade secrets, and other property
      rights in each of the Company Innovations. Contractor agrees to execute, when
      requested, for each of the Company Innovations (including derivative works,
      improvements, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisionals, continuations
      in
      part, or continuing patent applications thereof), (i) patent, copyright,
      mask work or similar applications related to such Company Innovation,
      (ii) documentation (including without limitation assignments) to permit
      Company to obtain, perfect and enforce Company’s right, title and interest in
      and to such Company Innovation, and (iii) any other lawful documents deemed
      necessary by Company to carry out the purpose of this Agreement. If called
      upon
      to render assistance under this paragraph, and if such assistance is in excess
      of 40 hours per week, Contractor will be entitled to a fee calculated at a
      per
      diem rate based on the monthly the rate specified in Exhibit A in addition
      to
      reimbursement of authorized expenses incurred at the prior written request
      of
      Company. In the event that Company is unable for any reason to secure
      Contractor’s signature to any document Contractor is required to execute under
      this Paragraph 4.1(c), Contractor hereby irrevocably designates and
      appoints Company and Company’s duly authorized officers and agents as
      Contractor’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and in Contractor’s behalf
      and instead of Contractor, to execute such document(s) with the same legal

    (d) Out-of-Scope
      Innovations.
      If
      Contractor incorporates any Innovations relating in any way to Company’s
      business or demonstrably anticipated research or development or business which
      were conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed or made by
      Contractor either outside of the scope of Contractor’s work for Company under
      this Agreement or prior to the Effective Date (collectively, the “Out-of-Scope
      Innovations”)
      into
      any of the Company Innovations, Contractor hereby grants to Company or Company’s
      designees a royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license (with
      rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to practice all
      applicable patent, copyright, moral right, mask work, trade secret and other
      intellectual property rights relating to any Out-of-Scope Innovations which
      Contractor incorporates, or permits to be incorporated, in any Company
      Innovations. Contractor agrees that Contractor will not incorporate, or permit
      to be incorporated, any Innovations conceived, reduced to practice, created,
      derived, developed or made by others or any Out-of-Scope Innovations into any
      of
      the Company Innovations without Company’s prior written consent.

     

    4.2 Confidential
      Information.

     

    (a) Definition
      of Confidential Information.
      “Confidential
      Information”
as
      used
      in this Agreement shall mean any and all technical and non-technical information
      including patent, copyright, trade secret, and proprietary information,
      techniques, sketches, drawings, models, inventions, know-how, processes,
      apparatus, equipment, algorithms, software programs, software source documents,
      and formulae related to the current, future and proposed products and services
      of Company, Company’s suppliers and customers, and includes, without limitation,
      Company Innovations, Company Property, and Company’s information concerning
      research, experimental work, development, design details and specifications,
      engineering, financial information, procurement requirements, purchasing
      manufacturing, customer lists, business forecasts, sales and merchandising
      and
      marketing plans and information.

     

    (b) Nondisclosure
      and Nonuse Obligations.
      Except
      as permitted in this paragraph, Contractor shall neither use nor disclose the
      Confidential Information. Contractor may use the Confidential Information solely
      to perform Project Assignment(s) for the benefit of Company. Contractor agrees
      that Contractor shall treat all Confidential Information of Company with the
      same degree of care as Contractor accords to Contractor’s own Confidential
      Information, but in no case less than reasonable care. If Contractor is not
      an
      individual, Contractor agrees that Contractor shall disclose Confidential
      Information only to those of Contractor’s employees who need to know such
      information, and Contractor certifies that such employees have previously
      agreed, either as a condition of employment or in order to obtain the
      Confidential Information, to be bound by terms and conditions substantially
      similar to those terms and conditions applicable to Contractor under this
      Agreement. Contractor agrees not to communicate any information to Company
      in
      violation of the proprietary rights of any third party. Contractor will
      immediately give notice to Company of any unauthorized use or disclosure of
      the
      Confidential Information. Contractor agrees to assist Company in remedying
      any
      such unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential
      Information.

     

    (c) Exclusions
      from Nondisclosure and Nonuse Obligations.
      Contractor’s obligations under Paragraph 4.2(b) (“Nondisclosure
      and Nonuse Obligations”)
      with
      respect to any portion of the Confidential Information shall not apply to any
      such portion which Contractor can demonstrate, (a) was in the public domain
      at or subsequent to the time such portion was communicated to Contractor by
      Company through no fault of Contractor; (b) was rightfully in Contractor’s
      possession free of any obligation of confidence at or subsequent to the time
      such portion was communicated to Contractor by Company; or (c) was
      developed by Contractor independently of and without reference to any
      information communicated to Contractor by Company. A disclosure of Confidential
      Information by Contractor, either (a) in response to a valid order by a
      court or other governmental body, (b) otherwise required by law, or
      (c) necessary to establish the rights of either party under this Agreement,
      shall not be considered to be a breach of this Agreement or a waiver of
      confidentiality for other purposes; provided, however, that Contractor shall
      provide prompt prior written notice thereof to Company to enable Company to
      seek
      a protective order or otherwise prevent such disclosure.

    4.3 Ownership
      and Return of Company Property.
      All
      materials (including, without limitation, documents, drawings, models,
      apparatus, sketches, designs, lists, and all other tangible media of expression)
      furnished to Contractor by Company, whether delivered to Contractor by Company
      or made by Contractor in the performance of services under this Agreement
      (collectively, the “Company
      Property”)
      are
      the sole and exclusive property of Company or Company’s suppliers or customers,
      and Contractor hereby does and will assign to Company all rights, title and
      interest Contractor may have or acquire in the Company Property. Contractor
      agrees to keep all Company Property at Contractor’s premises unless otherwise
      permitted in writing by Company. At Company’s request and no later than five (5)
      days after such request, Contractor shall destroy or deliver to Company, at
      Company’s option, (a) all Company Property, (b) all tangible media of
      expression in Contractor’s possession or control which incorporate or in which
      are fixed any Confidential Information, and (c) written certification of

      regulations with respect to conduct, health and safety and protection of persons
      and property.

     

    5. No
      Conflict of Interest.
      During

      contract, or accept an obligation, inconsistent or incompatible with
      Contractor’s obligations, or the scope of services rendered for Company, under
      this Agreement. Contractor warrants that, to the best of Contractor’s knowledge,
      there is no other contract or duty on Contractor’s part which conflicts with or
      is inconsistent with this Agreement. Contractor agrees to indemnify Company
      from
      any and all loss or liability incurred by reason of the alleged breach by
      Contractor of any services agreement with any third party.

     

    6. Term

    6.2 Termination
      by Company.

      The
      definitions contained in this Agreement and the rights and obligations contained
      in Paragraphs 4 (“Intellectual Property Rights”), 6.4 (“Survival”),

    7. General
      Provisions.

     

    7.1 Successors
      and Assigns.
      Contractor may not subcontract or otherwise delegate Contractor’s obligations
      under this Agreement without Company’s prior written consent. Subject to the
      foregoing, this Agreement will be for the benefit of Company’s successors and
      assigns, and will be binding on Contractor’s assignees.

     

    7.2 Notices.
      Any
      notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
      be
      delivered as follows, with notice deemed given as indicated: (a) by
      personal delivery, when delivered personally; (b) by overnight courier,
      upon written verification of receipt; (c) by telecopy or facsimile
      transmission, upon acknowledgment of receipt of electronic transmission; or
      (d) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon
      verification of receipt. Notice shall be sent to the addresses set forth in
      the
      Purchase Agreement or to such other address as either party may specify in
      writing.

     

    7.3 Governing
      Law.
      This
      Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the United States
      of
      America and by the laws of the State of California, as such laws are applied
      to
      agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between
      California residents. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive
      personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in California,
      as
      applicable, for any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, except
      that in actions seeking to enforce any order or any judgment of such federal
      or
      state courts located in California, such personal jurisdiction shall be
      nonexclusive.

     

    7.4 Severability.
      If any
      provision of this Agreement is held by a court of law to be illegal, invalid
      or
      unenforceable, (i) that provision shall be deemed amended to achieve as
      nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision, and
      (ii) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions
      of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

     

    7.5 Waiver;
      Amendment; Modification.
      No term
      or provision hereof will be considered waived by Company, and no breach excused
      by Company, unless such waiver or consent is in writing signed by Company.
      The
      waiver by Company of, or consent by Company to, a breach of any provision of
      this Agreement by Contractor, shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
      of,
      consent to, or excuse of any other or subsequent breach by Contractor. This
      Agreement may be amended or modified only by mutual agreement of authorized
      representatives of the parties in writing.

     

    7.6 Injunctive
      Relief for Breach.
      Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement are of a unique character that
      gives them particular value; Contractor’s breach of any of such obligations will
      result in irreparable and continuing damage to Company for which there will
      be
      no adequate remedy at law; and, in the event of such breach, Company will be
      entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific performance, and
      such
      other and further relief as may be proper (including monetary damages if
      appropriate).

     

    7.7 Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to
      this
      subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
      agreements concerning such subject matter. The terms of this Agreement will
      govern all Project Assignments and services undertaken by Contractor for
      Company.
