Exhibit D

Source Code Escrow Agreement

Account Number ______________________

This Preferred Escrow Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective ______, 200______(the “Effective Date”), among DSI Technology Escrow Services, Inc. (“DSI”), ______(“Depositor”), and ______(“Preferred Beneficiary”), who collectively may be referred to in this Agreement as the parties (the “Parties”).

A. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary have entered into a license agreement under which Depositor is licensing to Preferred Beneficiary a certain software product (the “Licensed Software”). (Such agreement is referred to in this Agreement as the “License Agreement”.)

B. Depositor desires to avoid the disclosure to Preferred Beneficiary of the source code for the Licensed Software, except under the limited circumstances specified in this Agreement.

C. Accordingly, Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary desire to establish an escrow with DSI to provide for the retention, administration and controlled access of the source code for the Licensed Software.

D. The Parties desire this Agreement to be supplementary to the License Agreement pursuant to 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), Section 365(n).

ARTICLE 1 — DEPOSITS

1.1 Obligation to Make Deposit. Upon the execution of this Agreement by the Parties, Depositor shall deliver to DSI those materials that Depositor is required to deposit with DSI, as identified in the License Agreement, or, if, not identified in the License Agreement, as identified in Exhibit A. In either case, the materials to be deposited with DSI by Depositor will be referred to herein as the “Deposit Materials”. If Exhibit A is applicable, it is to be prepared and signed by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. DSI shall have no obligation to either party with respect to the preparation, accuracy, execution or delivery of Exhibit A.

1.2 Identification of Tangible Media. Prior to the delivery of the Deposit Materials to DSI, Depositor shall conspicuously label for identification each document, magnetic tape, disk, or other tangible medium upon which the Deposit Materials are written or stored. Additionally, Depositor shall complete Exhibit B to this Agreement by listing each such tangible media by the item label description, the type of media and the quantity. Exhibit B shall be signed by Depositor and delivered to DSI with the Deposit Materials. Unless and until Depositor makes the initial deposit with DSI, DSI shall have no obligation with respect to this Agreement, except the obligation to notify the Parties regarding the status of the account as required in Section 2.2 below.


* * *		Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidential request. Omissions are designated as * * *. A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1.3 Acceptance of Deposit. When DSI receives the Deposit Materials, DSI will conduct a deposit inspection. If DSI determines upon completion of the deposit inspection that the labeling of the tangible media matches the item descriptions and quantity on Exhibit B, then DSI will date and sign Exhibit B and mail a copy thereof to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. If DSI determines that the labeling does not match the item descriptions or quantity on Exhibit B, DSI will: (a) note the discrepancies in writing on Exhibit B; (b) date and sign Exhibit B with the exceptions noted; and (c) mail a copy of Exhibit B to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary, as so annotated. DSI’s acceptance of the deposit occurs upon the signing of Exhibit B by DSI. Delivery of the signed Exhibit B to Preferred Beneficiary is Preferred Beneficiary’s notice that the Deposit Materials have been received and accepted by DSI. Other than DSI’s inspection of the Deposit Materials, DSI shall have no obligation to verify the accuracy, completeness, functionality, performance or non-performance of the Deposit Materials. No acceptance by DSI of delivery of any Deposit Materials under this Section 1.3 shall relieve Depositor of its obligation under this Agreement to fully tender to DSI the Deposit Materials.

1.4 Depositor’s Representations. Depositor represents as follows:

	a.		Depositor lawfully possesses all of the Deposit Materials deposited with DSI;

	b.		With respect to all of the Deposit Materials, Depositor has the right and authority to grant to DSI and Preferred Beneficiary the rights as provided in this Agreement;

	c.		As of the Effective Date, the Deposit Materials are not the subject of a lien or encumbrance; however, any liens or encumbrances made after the execution of this Agreement will not prohibit, limit, or alter the rights and obligations of DSI under this Agreement;

	d.		The Deposit Materials consist of those materials identified either in the License Agreement or Exhibit A, as the case may be; and

	e.		The Deposit Materials are readable and useable in their current form or, if any portion of the Deposit Materials is encrypted, the decryption tools and decryption keys have also been deposited.

1.5 Available Verification Services. Upon receipt of a written request from Preferred Beneficiary, DSI and Preferred Beneficiary may enter into a separate agreement pursuant to which DSI will agree, upon certain terms and conditions, to inspect the Deposit Materials for the purpose of verifying its accuracy, completeness, sufficiency and quality. Depositor shall reasonably cooperate with DSI by providing its facilities, computer software systems, and technical and support personnel for verification whenever reasonably necessary. If a verification is elected after the Deposit Materials have been delivered to DSI, then only DSI, or at DSI’s election, an independent contractor or company selected by DSI, may perform the verification; provided, that any such independent contractor or company: (i) is approved in advance in writing by Depositor, such approval not to be


* * *		Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidential request. Omissions are designated as * * *. A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (ii) is bound by a reasonable and customary confidentiality agreement entered into with DSI.

1.6 Removal of Deposit Materials. The Deposit Materials may be removed and/or exchanged only on written instructions signed by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2 — CONFIDENTIALITY AND RECORD KEEPING

2.1 Confidentiality. DSI shall have the obligation to reasonably protect the confidentiality of the Deposit Materials. Except as provided in this Agreement, DSI shall not disclose, transfer, make available or use the Deposit Materials. DSI shall not disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party. If DSI receives a subpoena or any other order from a court or other judicial tribunal pertaining to the disclosure or release of the Deposit Materials, DSI will immediately notify the Parties to this Agreement unless prohibited by law. It shall be the responsibility of Depositor and/or Preferred Beneficiary to challenge any such order; provided, however, that DSI does not waive its rights to present its position with respect to any such order. DSI will not be required to disobey any order from a court or other judicial tribunal, including, but not limited to, notices delivered pursuant to Section 7.7 below.

2.2 Status Reports. DSI will issue to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary a report profiling the account history semi-annually.

ARTICLE 3 — RIGHT TO MAKE COPIES

3.1 Right to Make Copies. DSI shall have the right to make copies of the Deposit Materials as reasonably necessary to perform this Agreement. DSI shall copy all copyright, nondisclosure, and other proprietary notices and titles contained on the Deposit Materials onto any copies made by DSI. With all Deposit Materials submitted to DSI, Depositor shall provide any and all instructions as may be necessary to duplicate the Deposit Materials including, but not limited to, the hardware and/or software needed. Any copying expenses incurred by DSI as a result of a request to copy will be borne by the party requesting the copies. Alternatively, DSI may notify Depositor requiring its reasonable cooperation in promptly copying the Deposit Materials in order for DSI to perform this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4 — RELEASE OF DEPOSIT

4.1 Release Conditions. As used in this Agreement, “Release Condition” shall mean the occurrence of any of the Release Conditions identified in the License Agreement.

4.2 Filing For Release. If Preferred Beneficiary believes in good faith that a Release Condition has occurred, Preferred Beneficiary may provide to DSI written notice of the occurrence of the Release Condition and a request for the release of the Deposit Materials. Within five (5) business days of receipt of a written notice, DSI shall provide a copy of the notice to Depositor. DSI will


* * *		Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidential request. Omissions are designated as * * *. A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

promptly notify the Parties unless DSI acknowledges or discovers independently, or through the Parties, its need for additional documentation or information in order to comply with this Section. Such need for additional documentation or information may extend the time period for DSI’s performance under this section.

4.3 Contrary Instructions. From the date DSI mails the notice requesting release of the Deposit Materials, Depositor shall have ten (10) business days to deliver to DSI contrary instructions (“Contrary Instructions”). Contrary Instructions shall mean the written representation by Depositor that a Release Condition has not occurred or has been cured. Upon receipt of Contrary Instructions, DSI shall send a copy to Preferred Beneficiary by commercial express mail. Additionally, DSI shall notify both Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary that there is a dispute to be resolved pursuant to Section 7.4 or 7.5 of this Agreement. Subject to Section 5.2 of this Agreement, DSI will continue to store the Deposit Materials without release pending: (a) joint instructions from Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary; (b) dispute resolution pursuant to Section 7.4 or 7.5; or (c) an order from a court of competent jurisdiction.

4.4 Release of Deposit. If DSI does not receive Contrary Instructions from the Depositor, DSI is authorized to release the Deposit Materials to the Preferred Beneficiary or, if more than one beneficiary is registered to the deposit, to release a copy of the Deposit Materials to the Preferred Beneficiary. In addition, DSI shall comply with all dispute resolution orders issued by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7.4 or 7.5, as applicable, requiring release of the Deposit Materials. However, DSI is entitled to receive any fees due DSI before making the release. Any copying expenses will be chargeable to Preferred Beneficiary. This Agreement will automatically terminate upon the release of the Deposit Materials held by DSI in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.4.

4.5 Right to Use Following Release. Upon execution of this Agreement by the Parties, Depositor hereby grants to Preferred Beneficiary a nonexclusive, nontransferable license, during the term of the License Agreement, to use, copy and modify the Deposit Materials, solely as specified in Section 4.6 of the License Agreement. Preferred Beneficiary will have no right to use the Deposit Materials except as specified in the foregoing license grant. Preferred Beneficiary shall maintain the released Deposit Materials in strict confidence. The license rights granted in this Section 4.5 will survive termination of this Agreement, but only in the event this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 4.4.

ARTICLE 5 — TERM AND TERMINATION

5.1 Term of Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement is for a period of one year. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew from year-to-year unless: (a) Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary jointly instruct DSI in writing that the Agreement is terminated; (b) DSI instructs Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary in writing ninety (90) days after its renewal date, that the Agreement is terminated for nonpayment in accordance with Section 5.2; or (c) DSI provides Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary with at least sixty (60) days written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement, for any reason, other than for nonpayment. If the Deposit Materials are


* * *		Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidential request. Omissions are designated as * * *. A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

subject to another escrow agreement with DSI, DSI reserves the right, after the initial one year term, to adjust the anniversary date of this Agreement to match the then prevailing anniversary date of such other escrow arrangements.

5.2 Termination for Nonpayment. In the event of the nonpayment of fees owed to DSI, DSI shall provide written notice of delinquency to all Parties to this Agreement. Any party to this Agreement shall have the right to make the payment to DSI to cure the default. If the past due payment is not received in full by DSI within one (1) month of the date of such notice, then DSI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending written notice of termination to all Parties. DSI shall have no obligation to take any action under this Agreement so long as any payment due to DSI remains unpaid.

5.3 Disposition of Deposit Materials Upon Termination. Subject to the foregoing termination provisions, and upon termination of this Agreement, DSI shall destroy, return, or otherwise deliver the Deposit Materials in accordance with Depositor’s instructions. If there are no instructions, DSI may, at its sole discretion, destroy the Deposit Materials or return them to Depositor. DSI shall have no obligation to destroy or return the Deposit Materials if the Deposit Materials are subject to another escrow agreement with DSI or have been released to the Preferred Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.4.

5.4 Survival of Terms Following Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive:

	a.		Depositor’s Representations (Section 1.4);

	b.		The obligations of confidentiality with respect to the Deposit Materials;

	c.		The obligation to pay DSI any fees and expenses due;

	d.		The provisions of Articles 5, 7, and 8; and

	e.		Any provisions in this Agreement that specifically state they survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 6 — DSI’S FEES

6.1 Fee Schedule. DSI is entitled to be paid its standard fees and expenses applicable to the services provided. DSI shall notify the party responsible for payment of DSI’s fees at least sixty (60) days prior to any increase in fees. For any service not listed on DSI’s standard fee schedule, DSI will provide a quote prior to rendering the service, if requested.

6.2 Payment Terms. DSI shall not be required to perform any service, including release of any Deposit Materials under Article 4, unless the payment for such service and any outstanding balances owed to DSI are paid in full. Fees are due within thirty (30) days following receipt of DSI’s invoice


* * *		Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidential request. Omissions are designated as * * *. A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

by the party responsible for payment of DSI’s fees. If invoiced fees are not paid, DSI may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2.

ARTICLE 7 — LIABILITY AND DISPUTES

7.1 Right to Rely on Instructions. DSI may act in reliance upon any instruction, instrument, or signature reasonably believed by DSI to be genuine. DSI may assume that any officer, partner or similarly authorized individual of a party to this Agreement who gives any written notice, request, or instruction has the authority to do so. DSI will not be required to inquire into the truth or evaluate the merit of any statement or representation contained in any notice or document. DSI shall not be responsible for failure to act as a result of causes beyond the reasonable control of DSI.

7.2 Indemnification. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary each agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless DSI from any and all claims, actions, damages, arbitration fees and expenses, costs, attorney’s fees and other liabilities incurred by DSI relating in any way to this escrow arrangement, except where it is adjudged that DSI materially breached this Agreement or acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.3 Limitation of Liability. With the exception of Exclusions (defined herein): (i) in no event will DSI be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (including loss of data, revenue, and/or profits), costs or expenses (including legal fees and expenses), whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, that may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement; and (ii) in no event shall the collective liability of DSI exceed ten times the fees paid under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement “Exclusions” means claims based on acts of gross negligence, or any personal injury or property damage claims (excluding the Deposit Materials), or any claims of intellectual property rights infringement.

7.4 Dispute Resolution by Arbitration. Except as expressly specified in Section 7.5 below, any dispute relating to or arising from this Agreement shall be submitted to, and settled by arbitration by, a single arbitrator chosen by the San Francisco Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall apply California law. Unless otherwise agreed by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary, arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. Any court having jurisdiction over the matter may enter judgment on the award of the arbitrator. Service of a petition to confirm the arbitration award may be made by First Class mail or by commercial express mail, to the attorney for the party or, if unrepresented, to the party at the last known business address. If, however, Depositor and/or Preferred Beneficiary refuses to submit to arbitration, the matter shall not be submitted to arbitration and DSI may submit the matter to any court of competent jurisdiction for an interpleader or similar action. Any costs of arbitration incurred by DSI, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, shall be divided equally and paid by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary.


* * *		Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidential request. Omissions are designated as * * *. A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

7.5 Dispute Resolution by Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.4 hereof, any dispute regarding Preferred Beneficiary’s entitlement to the Deposit Materials during the pendency of a bankruptcy case filed by or against Depositor, shall be resolved before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court with jurisdiction over such case, rather than by arbitration under Section 7.4 hereof.

7.6 Controlling Law. This Agreement is to be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

7.7 Notice of Requested Order. If any party intends to obtain an order from the arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction that may direct DSI to take, or refrain from taking any action, that party shall:

	a.		Give DSI at least five (5) business days’ prior to notice of the hearing;

	b.		Include in any such order that, as a precondition to DSI’s obligation, DSI be paid in full for any past due fees and be paid for the reasonable value of the services to be rendered pursuant to such order; and

	c.		Ensure that DSI not be required to deliver the original (as opposed to a copy) of the Deposit Materials if DSI may need to retain the original in its possession to fulfill any of its other escrow duties.

ARTICLE 8 — GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, which includes the exhibits described herein, embodies the entire understanding among the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all previous communications, representations or understandings, either oral or written, with respect to its subject matter. DSI is not a party to the License Agreement between Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary and has no knowledge of any of the terms or provisions of any such License Agreement. DSI’s only obligations to Depositor or Preferred Beneficiary are as set forth in this Agreement. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless signed by all the Parties hereto, except that Exhibit A need not be signed by DSI, Exhibit B need not be signed by Preferred Beneficiary, and Exhibit C need not be signed by any party hereto.

8.2 Notices. All notices, invoices, payments, deposits and other documents and communications shall be given to the Parties at the addresses specified in the attached Exhibit C. It shall be the responsibility of the Parties to notify each other as provided in this Section in the event of a change of address. The Parties shall have the right to rely on the last known address of the other Parties. Any correctly addressed notice or last known address of the other Parties that is relied on herein that is refused, unclaimed, or undeliverable because of an act or omission of the party to be notified as provided herein shall be deemed effective as of the first date that said notice was refused, unclaimed, or deemed undeliverable by the postal authorities by mail, through messenger or commercial express delivery services. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all documents and communications may be delivered by First Class mail.

A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

8.3 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, voidable or unenforceable, the Parties agree that unless it materially affects the entire intent and purpose of this Agreement, such invalidity, voidability or unenforceability shall affect neither the validity of this Agreement nor the remaining provisions herein, and the provision in question shall be deemed to be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision most closely reflecting the intent and purpose of the original provision.

8.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Parties. However, DSI shall have no obligation in performing this Agreement to recognize any successor or assign of Depositor or Preferred Beneficiary unless DSI receives clear, authoritative and conclusive written evidence of the change of Parties.

8.5 Waiver. Any term of this Agreement may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof, provided that any such waiver must be in writing and signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the waiver is sought. No waiver of any condition, or breach of any provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver of such condition or breach. Delay or failure to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed the waiver of that right or remedy.

8.6 Regulations. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary are responsible for and warrant compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to customs laws, import, export, and re-export laws and government regulations of any country from or to which the Deposit Materials may be delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

8.7 Attorney’s Fees. In any litigation or other proceeding by which one party either seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement (whether in contract, tort, or both) or seeks declaration of any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with any costs and expenses, to resolve the dispute and to enforce final award or judgment.

8.8 No Third Party Rights. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have or acquire any right by virtue of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to by all the Parties hereto.

8.9 Authority to Sign.
