3.             LICENSE GRANT

3.1           Grant.
Forgent grants Motorola and Digeo and their respective Affiliates a lump sum,
fully paid-up, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license under
the Licensed Patents to make, have made (either directly or indirectly), use,
sell, offer for sale, import, distribute, export, lease, or offer for lease,
Motorola or Digeo Products which would otherwise Infringe the Licensed Patents.
The license shall include the right of third parties to use, sell, lease,
import and export, and offer to sell any Motorola or Digeo Products.  The right to indirectly have made includes
the right of a third party manufacturer of a Motorola or Digeo Product to have
that product made by another.

3.2           Full Force and Effect.  The license provided
under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
subsequent transfer of rights in or to the Licensed Patents by Forgent
including, without limitation, assignment, license, sale, gift, or bequest.

3.3           Covenants Not To Sue.  Forgent covenants not
to sue Motorola, Digeo and/or their Affiliates for any business or activity for
Infringement of the Licensed

 4
 

Patents with respect to any Motorola or Digeo Product.
Forgent further covenants not to sue any third party for any action in which
(1) Motorola or Digeo would otherwise be liable as a direct or indirect
infringer of the Licensed Patent but for this Agreement or (2) in which the
activity alleged by Forgent to be Infringing involves the third party’s use of
a Motorola or Digeo Product.   In
addition to the foregoing, for a period of five years from the Effective Date,
(i) Forgent covenants not to sue or threaten to sue (or instruct, encourage, or
aid a third party to sue or threaten to sue) Motorola or Digeo for patent
infringement; and no liability shall accrue against Motorola or Digeo during
the five year period and (ii) Motorola and Digeo each covenant not to sue or
threaten to sue (or instruct, encourage, or aid a third party to sue or
threaten to sue) Forgent for patent infringement and no liability shall accrue
against Forgent during the five year period. 
[***]  Subject to the above restrictions of the Motorola and Digeo
patents that are subject to a covenant not to sue, Motorola and Digeo each
further covenant not to sue any third party for any action in which (1) Forgent
would otherwise be liable as a direct or indirect infringer of a patent for a
Forgent Product but for this Agreement or (2) in which the activity alleged by
Motorola or Digeo to be Infringing involves the third party’s use of a Forgent
Product.  As used in this Section 3.3, a “Forgent
Product” is defined as a product currently being offered by Forgent or in
development by Forgent as of the Effective Date and subsequent versions of such
products that are materially similar in features and functions to such Forgent
Products; such features and functions may be reasonably updated to maintain
compatibility with then-current technologies.

The covenants not to sue of
this paragraph do not apply to any breach of this Agreement.

3.4           Termination.  The term of the license provided under this
Agreement shall run from the Effective Date of this Agreement to the last
expiration date of patents falling under the definition of “Licensed Patents.”

3.5           No Right To Sublicense/Cross-License, Assign
or Transfer.  The releases, licenses, and covenants not to
sue provided under this Agreement do not include the right to cross-license
and/or sublicense, assign or transfer, except that (i) Motorola and Digeo shall
have the right to assign and/or transfer their respective rights and
obligations under this Agreement to any entity which acquires all or
substantially all of a Motorola or Digeo business or assets related to Motorola
or Digeo Products to which a license would be granted under Section 3.1, (ii)
Motorola and Digeo shall have the right to sublicense their respective rights
to divested business units of their respective companies (“Divested Company”),
(iii) Motorola and Digeo shall have the right to sublicense their respective
rights to acquired entities with respect to the ‘746 patent or any patent
claiming priority from or through any application that led to or in common with
the ‘746 patent , (iv) Motorola and Digeo shall have the right to assign and/or
transfer their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement to any
entity resulting from the merger of Motorola or Digeo with any other entity,
and (v) a Divested Company may assign and/or transfer its
respective rights to an entity subsequently acquiring all or substantially all
of the business or assets of the Divested Company or which merges with the
Divested Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect
to subsections (i), (iv) and (v) above, any assignment of this Agreement
applies only to

 5
 

those Motorola or Digeo Products that were licensed as
of the merger or acquisition closing date and subsequent versions of such
products that are materially similar in features and functions to such Motorola
or Digeo Products; such features and functions may be reasonably updated to
maintain compatibility with then-current technologies.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect
to subsection (iii) above, if Motorola or Digeo acquires an entity that is
subject to any patent infringement claims by Forgent other than the ‘746 patent
or any patent claiming priority from or through any application that led to or
in common with the ‘746 patent, and if Forgent asserts the claim against the
acquired entity or Motorola or Digeo, then Motorola and Digeo may independently
terminate the covenants not to sue rights granted to Forgent in Section 3.3
above and, notwithstanding Section 4.5, Motorola and Digeo may initiate any
proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office in response to
Forgent’s asserted patent claim against the acquired entity.

3.6           Corporate Change.  The covenants not to sue granted by Motorola
and Digeo to Forgent are personal and will not be assignable or transferable in
the event of a Change of Control of Forgent (whether by operation of law or
otherwise).  If Forgent undergoes a
Change of Control, all rights in the covenants not to sue granted by Motorola
and Digeo will automatically terminate. 
In no event will the rights in the covenants not to sue granted by
Motorola or Digeo extend to any other person or entity involved in such Change
of Control, without the prior written consent of Motorola or Digeo with respect
to the covenant granted by it, which consent may be withheld in its sole and
absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section, in the event of a Change of Control
of Forgent, Motorola and Digeo covenant not to sue the person or entity
involved in such Change of Control as to Forgent Products (as defined in
Section 3.3).

3.7           Responsibilities of Assignees of the
Licensed Patents.  In the event that Forgent transfers or
assigns ownership and/or control of any patent that is subject to this
Agreement, such transfer or assignment shall not become effective unless and
until the transferee party agrees, in writing, to be bound by this Agreement
and to accept Forgent’s rights and obligations with respect to any transferred
patents.  Such written agreement shall include
an acknowledgement by the transferee that it shall be bound by the covenant not
to sue in Section 3.3.  Forgent shall
provide a copy of all such written agreements by transferees to Motorola and
Digeo.

4.             DISMISSAL

4.1.          Dismissal.  Within three (3) business days of the
Effective Date, the Parties shall file an Agreed Motion to Dismiss with
Prejudice in the form attached as Exhibit A, dismissing all Forgent’s claims
against Motorola and Digeo and all Motorola and Digeo’s claims against Forgent,
and all Forgent’s claims against [***] any other party in the Lawsuit accused
of infringement due to using, leasing, and/or selling Motorola or Digeo
Products and, if a license agreement is entered into between Forgent Networks,
Inc. and [***], a dismissal of all Forgent claims against [***].

4.2           No Admission of Liability.  The Parties expressly
agree and acknowledge

 6
 

that by entering into this Agreement no Party admits
any liability, wrongdoing or the truth of any allegation contained in any
claim, defense or counterclaim alleged in the Lawsuit.  Neither this Agreement nor any release
contained within it may be construed or used as an admission of any issues,
facts, wrongdoing, liability, or violation of law whatsoever.

4.3           Each Party to Pay Its Own Legal Fees.  The Parties shall
each pay their own legal fees and costs incurred in connection with the
Lawsuit.

4.4           Dismissal of Motions.  The Parties shall
promptly file the necessary papers to advise the Court that all pending motions
as between them, and joinder to all pending motions as between them, are
withdrawn.

Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and
Operations

Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In July 2005, the
Registrant initiated litigation against 15 companies for infringement of
U.S. Patent No. 6,285,746 (the “ ‘746 patent”) in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “ ‘746 Litigation”),
seeking injunctive relief against sales of infringing products and monetary
damages, among other relief sought.  The ‘746
Litigation is described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
and Part II, Item 1 of the Registrant’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
January 31, 2007.

Effective April      ,
2007, the Registrant has entered into settlement and license arrangements with
nine of the defendants in the ‘746 Litigation: Cable One, Inc.,
Charter Communications, Inc.; Comcast Corporation; Comcast STB Software
DVR, LLC; Coxcom, Inc.; Digeo, Inc.; Motorola, Inc.; Scientific-Atlanta,
Inc.; and Time Warner Cable, Inc. 
Under the arrangements, the Registrant granted the defendants a patent
license and the defendants agreed to pay the Registrant a total of $20.0
million.  Additionally, all parties
agreed to release all claims against each other and the Registrant has no
future obligations related to this settlement.

The Registrant continues to monitor the progress of
the ‘746 Litigation with respect to the remaining defendants and the United
States Patent and Trademark Office’s re-examination of the ‘746 Patent.  The Registrant will vigorously defend the
validity of its ‘746 Patent, as well as pursue any entities that violated its ‘746
Patent.  Resolution of some or all of
these matters could materially affect the Registrant’s business, future results
of operations, financial position or cash flows in a particular period.

Pursuant to Instruction
B.4 to Form 8-K and applicable regulations and releases, copies of documents
related to the foregoing matters reported under Item 1.01 will be filed as
an exhibit or exhibits not later than the Registrant’s quarterly report on Form
10-Q applicable to the quarter ending April 30, 2007.  All summaries and descriptions of documents
set forth above are qualified in their entirety by the documents themselves,
filed as an exhibit or exhibits to a later report.

Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this

this Section 2.4 shall not be interpreted to prohibit Forgent from addressing
an issue raised by the defendants in the Forgent Action.

2.5           Scope of Activities
and Rights.  Each Party acknowledges
and agrees that the terms make, use, sell, offer for sale, lease, export,

2.9           Third Party Lawsuits.  To the extent that
Forgent or its Affiliates own or control a patent on the Effective Date or
within two (2) years after the
Effective Date that, in the absence of a grant of licenses or other rights

otherwise qualify as a Forgent Patent, Forgent and its Affiliates covenant not
to sue or threaten to sue (or instruct, encourage, or aid a third party to sue
or threaten to sue) Cisco, its Affiliates, or Authorized Third Parties for
infringement of such patent; provided, however, that such covenant as to

other Party and its Affiliates, and all of their respective current and former

actions, causes of action, claims or demands, liabilities, losses, damages,
attorneys’ fees, court costs, or any other form of claim or compensation for
known and unknown acts, including without limitation any claim of infringement
of patents, that happened prior to the Effective Date, and such Party, on
behalf of itself and its Affiliates, covenants not to sue or threaten to sue
(or instruct, encourage, or aid a third party to sue or threaten to sue) any
Released Party on account of any such claim.

3.2           Forgent Release of Authorized Third Parties.  Forgent,
on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby

3.5           Release of Unknown Claims.  Each
release contained in this Agreement extends to claims to which the Parties and
their respective Affiliates do not know or suspect to exist in their favor,
which if known by them, would have materially affected their decision to enter
into the releases contained in this Agreement. 
Without acknowledging the application of California law to this
Agreement, each of the Parties, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates,
acknowledges that it is familiar with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the
State of California, which is quoted as follows:

A
GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW, OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE WHICH IF
KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

The Parties expressly waive their right under Section

law or otherwise, including in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of
the Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cisco and its
Affiliates may (i) assign their rights under this Agreement to any of their
Affiliates, and (ii) assign their rights and delegate their duties to (a) an
acquirer of all or substantially all of the equity or assets of their business
to which this Agreement relates or (b) the surviving entity in any merger,
consolidation, equity exchange, or reorganization of their business to which
this Agreement relates.

8.2           Tax Assignment.
Notwithstanding Section 8.1, a Party may assign or delegate this Agreement in
whole or in part, or any of the licenses, rights, covenants, immunities,
releases, or duties under this Agreement, to an Affiliate for tax purposes, but
if the Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate, then any such assigned or delegated
licenses, rights, covenants, immunities, releases, or duties under this
Agreement shall be assigned or delegated back to the associated Party or its
Affiliates prior to the date the Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate.

8.3           Assignments Subject
To This Agreement. All Forgent releases, covenants not to sue, licenses,
and rights granted herein shall run with the Forgent Patents and shall be
binding on any successors-in-interest, assigns, or acquirers of any rights
thereof.  Forgent and its Affiliates
shall not assign, or grant any right that impairs Cisco, its Affiliates or Authorized
Third Parties’ rights under this Agreement, 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 8.3 shall be null and void.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure
to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their successors and
permitted assigns.

Forgent, on behalf
of itself and its Affiliates, represents and warrants to Cisco that in
connection with assigning or otherwise transferring any rights in and to any
patents subject to the licenses and covenants in Section 2 to any third party
(whether by

 11
 

agreement or operation of
law, including but not limited to any assignments or transfers resulting from
dissolution, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other corporate event), Forgent
shall: (i) require the assignee or transferee to provide covenants not to sue
with respect to any such assigned or transferred patent substantially identical
to the covenants in Section 2; (ii) require the assignee or transferee to agree
to be bound by the provisions, disclaimers, and restrictions of Section 2 with respect
to such assigned or transferred patent; and (iii) require the assignee or
transferee to agree that any further assignees or transferees that receive any
rights in and to any such assigned or transferred patent are subject to all of
the provisions of this Section 8.3. 
Forgent will defend and indemnify Cisco and its Affiliates for any claim
brought in violation of this Section 8.3 and from any claim brought by any
third party that owns any right to recover for infringement of or to assert any
rights in the Forgent Patents.

8.4           Noncompliance.  Any assignment failing to comply with the
terms and conditions of this Section 8 shall be null and void.

Agreement shall be construed, and the legal relations between the Parties shall
be determined, in accordance with the federal law of the United States and the

promise, or condition in connection therewith not incorporated herein shall not
be binding upon either Party or its Affiliates.

remedies of any Party.

 14
 

9.16         Counterparts and Facsimile.  This

Section 1 – Registrant’s Business
and Operations

Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In July 2005, the
Registrant initiated litigation against 15 companies for infringement of
U.S. Patent No. 6,285,746 (the “ ‘746 patent”) in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “
‘746 Litigation”), seeking injunctive relief against sales of infringing
products and monetary damages, among other relief sought.  The ‘746 Litigation is described in
Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1 of the
Registrant’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2007.

Effective April     ,
2007, the Registrant has entered into settlement and license arrangements with
nine of the defendants in the ‘746 Litigation: Cable One, Inc.,
Charter Communications, Inc.; Comcast Corporation; Comcast STB Software
DVR, LLC; Coxcom, Inc.; Digeo, Inc.; Motorola, Inc.; Scientific-Atlanta,
Inc.; and Time Warner Cable, Inc.  Under
the arrangements, the Registrant granted the defendants a patent license and
the defendants agreed to pay the Registrant a total of $20.0 million.  Additionally, all parties agreed to release
all claims against each other and the Registrant has no future obligations
related to this settlement.

The Registrant continues to monitor the progress of
the ‘746 Litigation with respect to the remaining defendants and the United
States Patent and Trademark Office’s re-examination of the ‘746 Patent.  The Registrant will vigorously defend the
validity of its ‘746 Patent, as well as pursue any entities that violated its ‘746
Patent.  Resolution of some or all of
these matters could materially affect the Registrant’s business, future results
of operations, financial position or cash flows in a particular period.

Pursuant to Instruction
B.4 to Form 8-K and applicable regulations and releases, copies of documents
related to the foregoing matters reported under Item 1.01 will be filed as
an exhibit or exhibits not later than the Registrant’s quarterly report on Form
10-Q applicable to the quarter ending April 30, 2007.  All summaries and descriptions of documents
set forth above are qualified in their entirety by the documents themselves,
filed as an exhibit or exhibits to a later report.
