WHEREAS, Licensor has been using the Trademarks (as defined in Section 1 herein) in the United States with respect to the products of its multimedia business; and WHEREAS, Licensee desires to acquire a license to use the Trademarks with respect to Multimedia Products as defined herein, and Licensor has the right to grant such a license and is willing to do so pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Definitions 1.1. Trademarks The term "Trademarks" means the trademarks as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. 1.2.

Grant Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, to the extent that it is its right to do so, a non-exclusive right for a period of ___ (__) years from the date hereof to reproduce the Trademarks as necessary on copies of the Multimedia Products, on all advertising, and promotional materials, cartons, containers, jewel cases, wrapping material, display material, -2- or other materials which utilize the Trademarks (all such materials to be hereinafter included in the definition of "Multimedia Products") for the sole purpose of allowing Licensee to fully promote and market the Multimedia Products. The license and rights granted under this Section hereof are subject to the Multimedia Products being produced in accordance with specifications and standards that are substantially the same as the specifications and standards of Licensor that are in existence as of the date of this Agreement or are approved in writing by Licensor prior to the marketing of the Multimedia Products. 3. Royalties For the license granted hereunder, Licensee shall pay to Licensor in the manner hereinafter provided until the termination of this Agreement a royalty of ___ percent (__%) of Sales Income (as defined herein). As used herein, "Sales Income" shall mean all gross revenues received by Licensee in connection with any sale, license, lease or other exploitation of the Multimedia Product less: (i) transportation and shipping charges, including insurance; (ii) monies received for demonstration and promotional Multimedia Products; (iii) sales, use and excise taxes and duties paid or allowed by Licensee and any other governmental charges imposed upon Licensee for the production, use, sale or license of the Multimedia Product; (iv) actual credits, discounts, allowances and returns granted to customers; (v) normal and customary trade and quantity discounts and allowances; and (vi) credits for uncollected or uncollectible accounts. Except as herein provided, Sales Income shall be determined by using generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Licensee shall pay Licensor __________ ($________) as a non- refundable advance (the "Advance") of royalties upon the execution of this Agreement. Any royalties earned by Licensor will accrue against the Advance until such royalties exceed __________ ($________), after which they will be paid directly to Licensor. Licensee shall render to Licensor, on a quarterly basis, commencing with the quarter after the first distribution of the Multimedia Product takes place, a detailed written statement of the fees due to Licensor or -3- accrued by Licensor against the Advance. Such statement shall be accompanied by a remittance of such amount as shown to be due. Each statement shall be rendered within forty-five (45) days following the end of each quarterly period; provided, however, that no statement shall be furnished for any such period in which there are no fees due to, or accrued by Licensor. Any statement remitted by Licensor hereunder shall conclusively be deemed true and correct and binding on Licensor unless Licensor submits to Licensee in writing within two (2) years after such statement has been remitted to Licensor specific objections to the submitted statement. Licensor shall have the right at its sole cost and expense to cause an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Licensee to examine and inspect the books and records of Licensee which relate to the Multimedia Product for the purpose of determining the accuracy of statements rendered by Licensee. 4. Ownership Licensee acknowledges that the Trademarks are the exclusive and sole property of Licensor, and Licensee agrees that it will not contest the ownership or validity of the Trademarks. Licensee agrees that any and all rights that might be acquired by its use of the Trademarks shall inure to the sole benefit of Licensor. Licensee agrees not to use or register in any country any trademarks, trade names, or other designations resembling or confusingly similar to the Trademarks. Whenever the attention to Licensee is called by Licensor or any such confusion or risk or confusion, Licensee agrees to take appropriate steps immediately to remedy or avoid such confusion. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting Licensee from adopting or using non-similar designations or trademarks in relation to Multimedia Products. 5. Compliance Licensee agrees to comply with rules set forth from time to time by Licensor with respect to the appearance and manner of use of the Trademarks. Any form of use of the Trademarks not specifically provided for by such rules shall be adopted by Licensee only upon prior approval in writing by Licensor. Representative specimens -4- showing the use of the Trademarks by Licensee shall be sent to Licensor from time to time upon request by Licensor.

If, at any time, any Multimedia Products made or assembled by or for Licensee and bearing the Trademarks shall fail to conform to the standards of quality required by the applicable specification and standards, Licensee shall promptly remove the Trademarks from the Multimedia Products. 8. Information Licensee agrees to supply Licensor, upon Licensor's reasonable request, with information concerning sales, advertising, customers and dealers of Multimedia Products on a country-by-country basis, as the need arises for such information, for the sole purpose of aiding Licensor in the acquisition, maintenance and renewal of trademark registration of the Trademarks, the recording of this Agreement, and the entry of Licensee as a Registered or Authorized User of the Trademarks. Any such material may be disclosed by the Licensor only to the extent that disclosure is reasonably necessary for such purpose. Licensee may limit the information provided to Licensor under this Section 8 to that information reasonably necessary for such purpose. 9. Trade Name Licensee shall not use any of the Trademarks as a corporate name, or as a trade name, nor shall it authorize others to do so, except as may be permitted under a separate Trade Name Agreement. 10.
