($250,000) to acquire the exclusivity of the licenses. In the event DISCOVERY
offers the Research and Development Contract, OMNIVIEW may select up to five (5)
destinations in the field of destination-based travel for the R&D Titles. If
OMNIVIEW selects any destinations which DISCOVERY provides notice of objection
to, because the destination is the same as or similar to one of DISCOVERY's
Selected Destinations, then OMNIVIEW shall select another destination. Such
Research and Development Contract shall have performance payments of no more
than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) up to a total of no more than $250,000
over a performance period of up to two years based on the achievement of
mutually agreed upon performance requirements. Such agreement shall provide that
OMNIVIEW will develop at least five R&D Titles in the field of destination-based
Travel. DISCOVERY shall provide creative guidance on the content for the
development of the R&D Titles, and DISCOVERY shall use its business judgment to

interest including copyright to the R&D Titles. Subject to the marking
provisions of this Agreement, DISCOVERY shall have the full and unfettered right
to label or brand the R&D Titles as it chooses. Continuation of the Research and
Development Contract shall be at the sole option of DISCOVERY. DISCOVERY shall
be permitted, at any time and for any reason, or no reason, to terminate all
obligations under the Research and Development Contract. Ninety (90) days after
such termination, the exclusive licenses of Sections 2.1(b) and 2.3(b) shall
terminate, provided however, DISCOVERY shall have the further option of
maintaining exclusive license rights to the DISCOVERY Selected Destinations by
paying the balance of the performance payments up to a cumulative total of
two-hundred-fifty thousand dollars ($250,000). If no such performance payments
are made, all licenses under Sections 2 shall remain non-exclusive. DISCOVERY
and OMNIVIEW will use their best efforts to negotiate in good faith the
remaining terms of such Research and Development Contract. If DISCOVERY fails to
offer to OMNIVIEW a Research and Development Contract, the exclusive sections of
this license agreement shall become nonexclusive until such a contract is
offered or full payment is made without such a contract.
6.4 Consideration for Renewal of Exclusive Licenses. If DISCOVERY
requests renewal of the exclusive licenses granted hereunder or additional

right to match to be exercised within ten (10) days of notice of a bona fide
offer. For any exclusive license in the Discovery Field, Discovery shall have
the additional right to match (such terms as are susceptible to matching) such

terminated under any applicable section of this Agreement. In the event of a
material breach of this Agreement by DISCOVERY, OMNIVIEW may cancel this

or for no reason, upon thirty (30) days advance written notice.
9.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination under

either party, misappropriate any trade secret, or infringe any of the Licensed
Patents or other proprietary rights relating to the OMNIVIEW Technology or
Improvements, such party shall promptly notify the other party.
10.2 Infringement. If any third party, without a license or right under
the Licensed Patents or OMNIVIEW Technology, shall produce products or use
processes coming within the definition of the Licensed Products or OMNIVIEW
Technology and if:
(i) DISCOVERY shall give the OMNIVIEW written notice as required
under paragraph 10.1; and
- 13 -
14
(ii) DISCOVERY requests that suit be brought against such third party
because of such infringement or misappropriation; and
(iii) DISCOVERY supplies OMNIVIEW an opinion from a qualified law firm
that such third party is infringing a Licensed Patent or misappropriating
OMNIVIEW Technology; and
(iv) OMNIVIEW fails to bring such suit or obtain discontinuance of such
infringement or misappropriation; and
(v) Sales of said third party products is of such volume as to produce,
if licensed, royalties of at least ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per year;
then, in such case DISCOVERY shall be permanently relieved of the payment of
royalties on a per bubble or per unit basis (i.e. bubbles shall be sold at cost
without a one-time royalty payment included or built-in to the price of the
bubble) that would otherwise accrue from the time conditions (i) through (vi)
are all satisfied until the day OMNIVIEW shall bring suit against an infringer
or shall obtain discontinuance of said infringement, with respect only as to the
Licensed Patents or OMNIVIEW Technology said to be infringed or misappropriated,
respectively.
10.3 Enforcement by DISCOVERY. OMNIVIEW fails to bring suit or obtain
discontinuance of an infringement or misappropriation, nothing in Section 10.2
shall prevent DISCOVERY from bringing suit or obtaining discontinuance of such
infringement or misappropriation or otherwise enforcing the Licensed Patents and
OMNIVIEW Technology. In the event DISCOVERY chooses to undertake such suit or
enforcement, DISCOVERY shall retain any recovery, damages or royalties
therefrom. In any infringement suit arising hereunder, the party not initiating
such suit shall, at the request of the other party, provide all reasonable
cooperation.

suit and has the affirmative obligation to diligently and effectively defend any
claim. If OMNIVIEW fails to diligently and effectively defend against any such
suit, at its option, DISCOVERY may defend and control the defense of such suit,
