RECITALS
A. The Seller, Seller Sub, Parent and Macrovision Europe entered into that
certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2002 (the
"Agreement"), pursuant to which the Seller Corporations agreed to sell to
Macrovision Europe the Designated Assets on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Agreement.
B. In accordance with Section 10.9 (b) of the Agreement, Macrovision Europe
has assigned its right to purchase a portion of the Designated Assets to
Macrovision Israel; specifically, all of Macrovision Europe's right to purchase
the right, title and interest of the Seller Corporations in and to the know-how
or technology or other tangible or intangible assets which materially derive
from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry and
Trade ("OCS") Approved Program No. 21248 and all right and obligations with
respect to such OCS Approved Program (the "OCS-Funded Technology").
C. In accordance with Section 4.7 of the Agreement, the Seller Corporations
have obtained the consent of the OCS to the transfer and sale of the OCS-Funded
Technology from the Seller Corporations to Macrovision Israel; however, as
required by Section 4.7 of the Agreement, the Seller Corporations have not
obtained the release of the OCS (the "Release Requirement") for any claims (the
"OCS Claim") it may have to any right, title or interest to, or ownership of,
the OCS-Funded Technology.
D. The Parent, Macrovision Europe and Macrovision Israel have agreed to waive
the Release Requirement and have agreed to purchase the OCS-Funded Technology
subject to any potential OCS Claim in return for the Seller Corporations'
agreement to reduce the Initial Payment Amount from $5,250,000 to $5,050,000
(the "Initial Payment Amount Reduction").
E. In order to confirm the parties' understandings with respect to the OCS
Funded Technology, the Release Requirements, any OCS Claim and the Initial
Payment Amount Reduction and to acknowledge Macrovision Israel's rights as a

necessary and desirable to amend the Agreement and certain of its provisions.
