Section 5. Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest, Disallowed Existing Common Stock Interest and Forfeited Distribution Rights.

(a) With respect to a Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest, the CPR Administrator shall (i) reserve the Pro Rata Percentage of the Distribution Rights to which the holder of such Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest would have been entitled if such Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest was an Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest on the Effective Date, (ii) not register in the Rights Registry such Distribution Rights that would otherwise be allocable under the Plan to such holders of Disputed Existing Common Stock Interests if such interests were Allowed Existing Common Stock Interests on the Effective Date and (iii) hold all CPR Distributions which would otherwise be distributable to the holders of such Disputed Existing Common Stock Interests if such interests were Allowed Existing Common Stock Interests on the Effective Date in the CPR Reserve Account. In the event that any Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest becomes an Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest, the CPR Distributions on account of such Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest shall be released from the CPR Reserve Account and the CPR Administrator shall (A) record as owned in the Rights Registry the Distribution Rights to which the holder of such newly Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest would have been entitled if such newly Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest was an Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest on the Effective Date, and (B) subject to Section 19(b) hereof, distribute to the holder of such newly Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest, as soon as practicable thereafter, any CPR Distributions reserved in the CPR Reserve Account which would have been distributed to such Person in respect of such Person’s Distribution Rights if such Existing Common Stock was fully or partially allowed, as the case may be, on the Effective Date, provided that the CPR Administrator may direct the withholding of any CPR Distributions until any cost or expense associated with maintaining such CPR Distributions accruing after the Effective Date is paid. Notwithstanding any provision herein, no CPR Distributions, if any, shall be made to a holder of resolved Disputed Existing Common Stock Interests until such time as the CPR Administrator shall determine that such distribution is practicable.

(b) Any CPR Distributions reserved on account of any Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest that becomes the subject of a final and binding court order or a written and binding settlement agreement, in each case whereby such Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest, or any portion thereof, is disallowed or otherwise determined or agreed that it shall never become an Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest, shall be cancelled and forfeited by such holder of Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest and the CPR Administrator shall return such CPR Distributions to Reorganized Ampex. No Right Holder shall have any claim to any CPR Distributions returned to Reorganized Ampex pursuant to this Section 5(b).

(c) The CPR Administrator shall, within 10 days of recording a transfer in the Rights Registry, notify in writing both the transferor and the Permitted Transferee, at the last known address set forth in the Rights Registry and in the notice referenced in Section 6(b)(i)(X) hereof respectively, of the completion of the transfer.

(i) Except with respect to any notice given by a Right Holder pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the CPR Administrator shall promptly acknowledge in writing any written notice received by it from a Right Holder or Permitted Transferee pursuant to this Agreement, including such notices given by a Right Holder or Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 13 hereof.

(j) A copy of this Agreement shall be available at all reasonable times for inspection by any Right Holder at the principal office of Reorganized Ampex. Upon written request of a Right Holder, the CPR Administrator shall transmit a copy of this Agreement to a Right Holder via first class mail.

(k) The CPR Administrator shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of the Distribution Rights or this Agreement in reliance upon an order, finding, instruction or other directive of the Bankruptcy Court, and shall act in accordance with any such order, finding, instruction or other directive.

Section 12. Change of CPR Administrator. The CPR Administrator or any successor CPR Administrator may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice in writing mailed to Reorganized Ampex by registered or certified mail, and to the Right Holders or their respective Permitted Transferees as set forth in the Rights Registry by first-class mail. Reorganized Ampex may remove the CPR Administrator or any successor CPR Administrator upon ninety (90) days’ notice in writing, mailed to the CPR Administrator or successor CPR Administrator, as the case may be, by registered or certified mail. If the CPR Administrator shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, Reorganized Ampex shall appoint a successor to the CPR Administrator. If Reorganized Ampex shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated CPR Administrator or by any Right Holder, then any Right Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the

- 13 -

appointment of a new CPR Administrator. Any successor CPR Administrator, whether appointed by Reorganized Ampex or by such a court, shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States that is in good standing. After appointment, the successor CPR Administrator shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as CPR Administrator without further act or deed; but the predecessor CPR Administrator shall deliver and transfer to the successor CPR Administrator any property at the time held by it hereunder including the Rights Registry, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment Reorganized Ampex shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor CPR Administrator and mail a written notice thereof to each Right Holder or its Permitted Transferee at the address of such Person set forth in the Rights Registry. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 12, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the CPR Administrator or the appointment of the successor CPR Administrator, as the case may be.

Notices or demands authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the CPR Administrator or by any holder of Disputed Existing Common Stock Interests, Right Holder or Permitted Transferee to or on Reorganized Ampex shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by facsimile or first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is filed in writing with the CPR Administrator) as follows:

Section 15. Supplements and Amendments. Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 15, for so long as the Distribution Rights are outstanding, Reorganized Ampex may, and the CPR Administrator shall, if Reorganized Ampex so directs in writing, supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any Right Holders, provided that no such supplement or amendment may (a) adversely affect the interests of the Right Holders as such in any material respect, (b) cause this Agreement to become amendable other than in accordance with this Section 15 or (c) change, limit or increase the CPR Administrator’s rights, duties, liabilities or obligations.

- 15 -

Upon the delivery of a certificate from an appropriate officer of Reorganized Ampex which states that the supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of this Section 15, the CPR Administrator shall execute such supplement or amendment, provided that any supplement or amendment that does not change or increase the CPR Administrator’s rights, duties, liabilities or obligations shall become effective immediately upon execution by Reorganized Ampex, whether or not also executed by the CPR Administrator.

Section 16. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of Reorganized Ampex or the CPR Administrator shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.

Section 17. Benefits of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company, the CPR Administrator and the Right Holders any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the CPR Administrator, the Right Holders and their Permitted Transferees.

Section 18. Inconsistency with Plan. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the Plan and shall govern the Distribution Rights and related CPR Distributions issued pursuant to the Plan. Should any provision of this Agreement be inconsistent with a provision of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control; provided, however, that (i) in the event of an inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement with respect to the terms of the Distribution Rights and the CPR Distributions, this Agreement shall control, and (ii) nothing in this Section 18 shall impact provisions of this Agreement that supplement provisions of the Plan but are not inconsistent therewith.

Section 19. Tax Reporting; Withholding.

(a) On or before January 31st of the year following each year in which a holder of Distribution Rights receives any CPR Distribution hereunder, the CPR Administrator shall prepare and mail to each such holder, unless such holder has provided the CPR Administrator with a valid, properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY (each, a “Form W-8”), as applicable, in accordance with United States Treasury Regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), an appropriate Form 1099 reporting the distribution(s) as of the year of payment, in accordance with the Code and the Treasury Regulations. The CPR Administrator shall also prepare and file copies of such Forms 1099 by magnetic tape with the Internal Revenue Service on or before February 28th of the year following the distribution(s), in accordance with the Code and the Treasury Regulations.

- 16 -

(b) Reorganized Ampex and the CPR Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment made to such holder pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Reorganized Ampex or the CPR Administrator, as applicable, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment pursuant to the Code and the Treasury Regulations or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. law, and shall timely remit any amount withheld to the Internal Revenue Service or other appropriate governmental authority or authorized financial institution in accordance with applicable law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Reorganized Ampex or the CPR Administrator, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Reorganized Ampex or the CPR Administrator, as the case may be.

(c) Should any issue arise regarding federal income tax reporting or withholding, the CPR Administrator shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to Reorganized Ampex or any other Person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the CPR Administrator receives written instructions signed by Reorganized Ampex which eliminate such issue to the reasonable satisfaction of the CPR Administrator. Such action may be subject to additional fees.

(d) The Company and each Right Holder hereby agree that the Distribution Rights shall not be treated as an equity interest in the Company for income tax purposes.

Section 20. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

Section 21. Governing Law. This Agreement, including the rights, duties and obligations of the CPR Administrator, and the Distribution Rights issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely within such State.

Section 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 23. Descriptive Headings. Descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

EXHIBIT A

EXAMPLES OF DISTRIBUTION MECHANICS

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Contingent Payment Rights Agreement to which this document is an exhibit (the “Agreement”).

For purposes of the following examples, assume the following facts:

1. The Effective Date occurs on May 15, 2008.

2. Cumulative Net New Patent Revenue for the 2009 Distribution Period (January 1 - December 31, 2009) is $100,000,000.

3. Recovery Threshold Amount is $90,000,000.

4. Company Expenses for the 2009 Distribution Period are $50,000.

5. The Company had 100 shares of Existing Common Stock outstanding on May 14, 2008, the date immediately prior to the Effective Date.

6. Stockholder W held 50 shares of Existing Common Stock on May 14, 2008, the date immediately prior to the Effective Date and delivered certificates evidencing his 50 shares of Existing Common Stock to the CPR Administrator pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

7. Stockholder X who has objected to the confirmation of the Plan held 10 shares of Existing Common Stock on May 14, 2008, the date immediately prior to the Effective Date.

8. Stockholder Y held 20 shares of Existing Common Stock on May 14, 2008, the date immediately prior to the Effective Date but the CPR Administrator was unable to locate Stockholder Y at his last known address qualifying Stockholder Y as a holder of Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest.

9. Stockholder Z held 20 shares of Existing Common Stock on May 14, 2008, the date immediately prior to the Effective Date; was initially located by the CPR Administrator but over time has failed to keep the CPR Administrator updated of his change of address resulting in Stockholder Z becoming a Forfeited Right Holder.

Examples of Distribution Mechanism:

Example 1 - Calculation of CPR Distributions. For the 2009 Distribution Period, the maximum amount of CPR Distributions to be made to Right Holders is $4,975,000 which is the amount that equals the product of (x) 0.5 times (y) the Cumulative Net New Patent Revenue in excess of the Recovery Threshold Amount less (z) the Company Expenses:

(0.5 x ($100,000,000 - $90,000,000)) - $50,000 = $4,950,000

A-1

Example 2 - Calculation of Pro Rata Percentage of holders of Existing Common Stock as of the date immediately prior to the Effective Date (e.g. Stockholder W’s Pro Rata Percentage). Stockholder W’s Pro Rata Percentage of any CPR Distributions is 0.50 (50 shares held by Stockholder W divided by the total number of Existing Common Stock that is outstanding on the date that is immediately prior to the Effective Date (100 shares)).

Example 3 - Calculation of CPR Distributions to Right Holders (e.g. Stockholder W). For the 2009 Distribution Period, Shareholder W’s CPR Distribution is his Pro Rata Percentage of the CPR Distributions for that period:

0.50 x $4,950,000 = $2,475,000

Example 4 - CPR Distributions Allocable to holders of Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest (e.g. Stockholder Y). The CPR Administrator shall hold Stockholder Y’s Pro Rata Percentage (0.20) of the CPR Distributions for the 2009 Distribution Period in the CPR Reserve Account.

0.20 x $4,950,000 = $990,000

The CPR Administrator shall hold the $990,000 in the CPR Reserve Account until such time as the Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest held by Stockholder Y becomes an Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest (e.g. Stockholder Y establishing contact with the CPR Administrator) or the $990,000 reserved in the CPR Reserve Account for Stockholder Y becomes the subject of a final and binding court order or a written and binding settlement agreement whereby it is determined or agreed that Stockholder Y’s Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest shall never become an Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest. If the latter, Stockholder Y will forfeit the $990,000 as his Distribution Rights will be cancelled and the CPR Administrator will return the $990,000 to Reorganized Ampex. With respect to subsequent CPR Distributions (CPR Distributions that occur after the date all or a portion of the Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest of Stockholder Y is disallowed), the total CPR Distributions made by Reorganized Ampex will be reduced by that portion of Stockholder Y’s Disputed Existing Common Stock Interests that became permanently disallowed.

Example 5 - CPR Distributions Allocable to Forfeited Right Holders (e.g. Stockholder Z). If the CPR Administrator cannot locate Stockholder Z at his last known address within one year of the Distribution Date for the 2009 Distribution Period (March 31, 2011), Stockholder Z forfeits his $990,000 CPR Distribution for the 2009 Distribution Period. The $990,000 forfeited by Stockholder Z will be distributed to (i) the other Right Holders (in our example, Stockholder W is the only other Right Holder) and (ii) the CPR Reserve Account on account of Stockholder Y who holds Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest that can become Allowed Existing Common Stock Interest, in each case, on a pro rata basis. However, if Stockholder Y’s Disputed Existing Common Stock Interest is ultimately disallowed, his reserved CPR Distributions and his pro rata share of Stockholder Z’s forfeited CPR Distributions reserved on his behalf ($495,000) will be returned to Reorganized Ampex.

A-2

Example 6 - Total Distribution by Reorganized Ampex to CPR Administrator in Light of Objecting Stockholders (e.g. Stockholder X). Stockholder X objected to confirmation of the Plan and is not entitled to any CPR Distributions. For the 2009 Distribution Period, the total CPR Distributions to be made by Reorganized Ampex to the CPR Administrator is $4,455,000, comprised of (a) $2,475,000 for Stockholder W, plus (b) $990,000 for Stockholder Y to be held in the CPR Reserve Account, plus (c) $990,000 for Stockholder Z to be held until Stockholder Z can be located or to be distributed to other Right Holders pro rata after Stockholder Z becomes a Forfeited Right Holder.
