NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

2.2 MANUFACTURING ALLIANCE. As to an additional one hundred fifty
thousand (150,000) Shares, if and when the conditions of Section 2.1 have been
met and CAC enters into a written agreement or agreements with one or more
leading consumer electronics manufacturer(s) and distributor(s), which
agreements are approved by CAC's Board of Directors and satisfy CAC's current
business plan requirements for a manufacturing and distribution alliance,
providing to such manufacturer(s) and distributor(s) the right and obligation to
manufacture and sell receivers under one or more nationally-recognized consumer
electronics brand name(s).
2.3 CONTENT ALLIANCE. As to an additional one hundred thousand
(100,000) Shares, if and when the conditions of Section 2.1 have been met and
CAC enters into written agreements, approved by CAC's Board of Directors, with

program content is made available to CAC for broadcast to customers.
3. SURRENDER OF UNVESTED SHARES. Notwithstanding any provision contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, CAC shall surrender and transfer the Unvested
Shares to Macrovision if any of the following circumstances occurs ("Surrender
Events"):
3.1 NOT VESTED BY DATE SPECIFIED. Such Shares, for any reason,
continue to be Unvested Shares on December 31, 1998; or such Shares, for any
reason, continue to be Unvested Shares on November 30, 1996, and a first
underwritten registration of the offering of the Common Stock of Macrovision
pursuant to the 1933 Act has not become effective on or before November 30,
1996.
3.2 ADDITIONAL EVENTS. Any one or more of the following specified
events occurs:
(a) The United States Patent Office determines that no patent is
issuable to CAC with respect to any one or more of the patent applications
listed on EXHIBIT A attached hereto, or the United States Patent Office or a
court of competent jurisdiction
2
determines that any one or more of the patents listed on EXHIBIT A attached
hereto or that issue with respect the patent applications listed on EXHIBIT A
attached hereto is invalid.
(b) A major change occurs which presents a clear, material, near
term threat to the continued viability of CAC's business, as evidenced by
actions of CAC's Board of Directors indicating a significant departure from
CAC's current business plan.
4. NO EFFECT ON OTHER TRANSACTIONS. The surrender of Unvested Shares
pursuant to Section 3 above shall not affect in any way the rights and
obligations of Macrovision and CAC under the Recapitalization and Stock Purchase
Agreement and/or under any other agreement or agreements between the parties
hereto.
5. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS; PROXY FOR UNVESTED SHARES. Until such time as
Macrovision actually exercises its Repurchase Option under this Agreement, CAC
shall have all the rights of a shareholder of Macrovision with respect to the
Shares, except as set forth in Section 6 and except that CAC shall provide
Macrovision an irrevocable proxy with respect to Unvested Shares and CAC shall
have no rights to receive any dividend distributions whether in cash or property
(other than any dividend paid in shares of Macrovision stock) with respect to
any Unvested Shares. CAC hereby assigns to Macrovision any and all rights that
CAC otherwise might have to receive such dividend distributions with respect to
Unvested Shares. CAC hereby grants to, and executes in favor of, Macrovision's
corporate secretary an irrevocable proxy to vote or give written consent with
respect to, or to abstain from voting or consenting, the Unvested Shares, which
irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest in such Unvested Shares as
specified in this Agreement.
6. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. CAC shall not sell, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Unvested Shares.
7. ESCROW. As security for the faithful performance of the terms of this
Agreement and to ensure the availability for delivery of CAC's Shares upon
exercise of the Repurchase Option herein provided for, CAC agrees to deliver to
and deposit with Wise & Xxxxxxx LLP, attorneys for Macrovision, or such other
person designated by Macrovision, as escrow agent in this transaction ("Escrow
Agent"), two stock assignments duly endorsed (with date and number of Shares
left blank) in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B, together with the
certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares. Said documents are to be
held by the Escrow Agent and delivered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Joint
Escrow Instructions of Macrovision and CAC set forth in EXHIBIT C attached
hereto and incorporated by this reference; said instructions shall also be
delivered to the Escrow Agent upon the execution hereof.
8. STOCK SPLITS, ETC. If, from time to time during the term of this
Agreement:
(a) there is any stock dividend or liquidating dividend of cash
and/or property, stock split or other change in the character or amount of or on
any of the Shares; or
3
(b) there is any consolidation, merger or sale of all, or
substantially all, of the assets of Macrovision;
then, in such event, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or
other property, if any, to which CAC is entitled by reason of his ownership of
the Shares shall be immediately subject to this Agreement and be included in the
term the "Shares" for all purposes with the same force and effect as the Shares
presently subject to the vesting provisions and other terms of this Agreement.
9. LEGENDS ON SHARES. Each certificate representing the Shares shall
have conspicuously printed on it the following legends, among other legends:
THIS SECURITY HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF THE VARIOUS STATES, AND HAS BEEN ISSUED AND SOLD PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM THE ACT, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED BY THE HOLDER THEREOF AT ANY TIME, EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, FILED UNDER THE ACT COVERING THE
SECURITY, OR (2) UPON DELIVERY TO COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO COMPANY THAT THIS SECURITY MAY BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT
REGISTRATION.
SALE, TRANSFER, OR HYPOTHECATION OF THIS SECURITY IS RESTRICTED BY THE
PROVISIONS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK ACQUISITION AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY
COMPANY AND THIS SHAREHOLDER (INCLUDING RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL), A COPY OF
WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF COMPANY, AND ALL OF THE
PROVISIONS OF WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN.
10. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. As an inducement to Macrovision to issue
the Shares to CAC, and in order to establish the suitability for CAC of such an
investment, CAC hereby makes the following representations and warranties, and
authorizes Macrovision to rely upon the same:
(a) INVESTMENT INTENT. CAC is aware of and familiar with
Macrovision's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired
sufficient information about Macrovision to reach a knowledgeable and informed
decision to acquire the Shares. CAC is acquiring the Shares for its own account
and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the
Shares.
(b) RELATIONSHIP. CAC has either a preexisting personal or business
relationship with Macrovision or its partners, officers, directors or
controlling persons.
4
(c) EXPERIENCE. CAC and/or its professional advisors who are not
compensated by or affiliated with Macrovision or a selling agent of Macrovision
("Representatives"), if any, have such business or financial experience so that
CAC has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the
purchase of Shares hereunder.
(d) RISKS. CAC understands that an investment in Macrovision is
speculative, that any possible profits therefrom are uncertain, and that CAC
must bear the economic risks of the investment in Macrovision for an indefinite
period of time. CAC is able to bear these economic risks and to hold the Shares
for an indefinite period. CAC understands that there may never become effective
an underwritten registration of the offering of the Common Stock of Macrovision
pursuant to the 1933 Act.
(e) INFORMATION. CAC and its Representatives, if any, have received
all information and data with respect to Macrovision which CAC or its
Representatives have requested and have deemed relevant in connection with an
evaluation of the merits and risks of this investment in Macrovision, and do not
desire any further information or data with respect to Macrovision prior to the
purchase of the Shares.
(f) DOMICILE. CAC has its principal place of business in the State
of California, and does not have any present intention of moving its principal
place of business from California.
(g) SECURITIES LAWS. CAC understands that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), in
reliance on certain exemptions from registration provided by the Securities and
Exchange Commission; and that the Shares have not been registered under the
"blue sky" laws of any state, including that the Shares have not been qualified
or a permit obtained for issuance of securities from the California Department
of Corporations or any other agency of the State of California.
(h) TRANSFERS. CAC understands that the Shares may have to be held
indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and
qualified or registered under other applicable securities laws, rules and
regulations, or unless an exemption from such qualification or registration is
available.
(i) LEGENDS. CAC understands and agrees that (i) the legends set
forth in Section 9 will be placed on certificate(s) evidencing the Shares and on
certificate(s) issued to permitted transferees; (ii) the stock records of
Macrovision will be noted with respect to such restrictions; (iii) Macrovision
will not be under any obligation to register the Shares or to comply with any
exemption available for sale of the Shares without registration; and (iv) the
information or conditions necessary to permit routine sales of securities of
Macrovision under Rule 144 of the 1933 Act are not now available and it is
possible that they never will become available.
(j) FURTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITION. Without in any way limiting
CAC's representations set forth above, CAC further agrees that it shall in no
event make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares, unless and
until:
5
(i) (A) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under
the 1933 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with said Registration Statement; or (B) (1) CAC shall have notified
Macrovision of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished Macrovision
with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed
disposition, (2) CAC shall have furnished Macrovision with an opinion of CAC's
counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of
such Shares under the 1933 Act, and (3) such opinion of CAC's counsel shall have
been reasonably concurred in by counsel for Macrovision and Macrovision shall
have advised CAC of such concurrence;
(ii) The Shares proposed to be transferred are Vested Shares; and
(iii) Macrovision has declined to exercise its right of first
refusal as set forth in Section 11 below.
11. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL FOR VESTED SHARES.
(a) GRANT. Macrovision is hereby granted the right of first refusal
with respect to any proposed sale or other transfer of any Vested Shares. For
purposes of this Section 11, the term "transfer" shall include any assignment,
pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of the Vested Shares.
(b) NOTICE OF INTENDED DISPOSITION. In the event CAC desires to
accept a bona fide third-party offer to purchase or otherwise acquire any or all
of the Vested Shares (the shares subject to such offer to be hereinafter called
the "Target Shares"), CAC shall promptly (i) deliver to Macrovision written
notice of the offer and the basic terms and conditions thereof, including the
proposed purchase price, and (ii) provide satisfactory proof that the
disposition of the Target Shares to the third-party offeror would not be in
contravention of the representations made by CAC in Section 10 above.
(c) EXERCISE OF RIGHT. Macrovision (or its assignees) shall, for a
period of twenty (20) days following receipt of the notice of intended
disposition under Section 11(b) above, have the right to repurchase any or all
of the Target Shares specified in the notice of intended disposition, at
Macrovision's election either (i) for a cash purchase price of Eight Dollars and
Fifty-Seven Cents ($8.57) per Share (which amount shall be appropriately
adjusted if any event described in Section 8 occurs) or (ii) upon substantially
the same terms and conditions specified in such notice. Such right shall be
exercisable by written notice given to CAC prior to the expiration of the twenty
(20) day exercise period. If such right is exercised with respect to all the
Target Shares specified in the notice of intended disposition, Macrovision (or
its assignees) shall effect the repurchase of the Target Shares, including
payment of the purchase price, not more than five (5) business days thereafter,
except as provided below; and at such time CAC shall deliver to Macrovision the
certificates representing the Target Shares to be repurchased, each certificate
to be properly endorsed for transfer. To the extent any of the Target Shares
are at any time held in escrow under Section 7 above, the certificates for such
shares shall automatically be released from escrow and surrendered to
Macrovision for cancellation. The
6
Target Shares so purchased shall thereupon be canceled and cease to be issued
and outstanding shares of Macrovision's Common Stock. However, should the
purchase price specified in the notice of intended disposition be payable in
property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, Macrovision (or its
assignees) shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash
equal in amount to the value of such property. If CAC and Macrovision (or its
assignees) cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) days after
Macrovision's receipt of the notice of intended disposition, the valuation shall
be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by CAC and Macrovision
(or its assignees) or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20)
days after Macrovision's receipt of such notice, each shall select an appraiser
of recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser
of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value.
The closing of Macrovision's purchase of stock under this Section 11 shall be
held on the LATER of (i) the fifth business day following Macrovision's (or its
assignees') exercise of its repurchase rights hereunder or (ii) if a valuation
of any property is required, the fifteenth day after such valuation is made.
(d) NON-EXERCISE OF RIGHT. In the event Macrovision does not give
CAC written notice of its intent to exercise its right of first refusal within
twenty (20) days following the date of Macrovision's receipt of the notice of
intended disposition under Section 11(b), CAC shall, for a period of thirty (30)
days thereafter, have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the Target
Shares upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more
favorable to the third party purchaser than those specified in the notice of
intended disposition given to Macrovision; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such sale
or disposition must not be effected in contravention of the representations made
by CAC in Section 10 above. To the extent any of the Target Shares are at the
time held in escrow under Section 7 above, the certificates for such shares
shall automatically be released from escrow and surrendered to CAC. The
third-party purchaser shall acquire the Target Shares free and clear of all the
terms and provisions of this Agreement. In the event CAC does not sell or
otherwise dispose of the Target Shares within the specified thirty (30) day
period, Macrovision's right of first refusal shall continue to be applicable to
any subsequent disposition of the Target Shares by CAC.
(e) RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Until such time as Macrovision's right of
first refusal lapses and ceases to have effect pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 11, the stock certificate(s) for the Shares shall be endorsed with
the following additional legend:
"The shares represented by this certificate may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered, except in conformity with the
terms of the Restricted Stock Acquisition Agreement between Macrovision and the
registered holder of the shares (or his predecessor in interest). Such
agreement grants certain rights of first refusal to Macrovision (or its assigns)
upon the sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or encumbrance of the shares. A
copy of such agreement is on file at the principal office of Macrovision."
12. VOID TRANSFERS. CAC, as a condition to purchasing the Shares, agrees
not to sell, transfer or pledge any Shares subject to the restriction on
transfer described in Section 6, other than in the manner expressly permitted in
this Agreement, and any such sale, transfer or pledge of the Shares in violation
of this Agreement shall be void. Macrovision shall not be required
7
(a) to transfer on its books any Shares which shall have been sold or
transferred in violation of this Agreement, or (b) to treat as the owner of such
Shares, or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any
transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
13. "MARKET STAND-OFF". In connection with the first underwritten
registration of the offering of the Common Stock of Macrovision, Macrovision (or
a representative of the underwriters) may require that CAC not sell or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any Shares not registered under the 1933 Act during a
period (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) following the effective
date of the registration statement of Macrovision filed under the 1933 Act,
provided that the principal shareholders, or the officers and directors, of
Macrovision enter into similar agreements. Additionally, for a period of one
(1) year following the expiration of any such "market stand-off" period (or if
no such "market stand-off" period is required, for a period of one (1) year
following the effective date of the registration statement for the Macrovision's
first underwritten offering of Common Stock), CAC shall not sell in any calendar
week Common Stock representing more than the greater of (a) one-quarter of one
percent (1/4%) of the Macrovision's outstanding Common Stock and (b) one-quarter
of the average weekly reported trading volume for the Macrovision's Common Stock
during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the week in which the CAC's
sale is to occur.
14. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event either party shall commence any action
or proceeding against the other party by reason of any breach or claimed breach
in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or to
seek a judicial declaration of rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party
in such action shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
from the non-prevailing party.
15. CONTROLLING LAW. This Agreement is entered into and to be performed
in California, and it shall be interpreted and enforced under, and all questions
relating thereto shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
California.
16. WAIVER. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed
or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor
shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be binding
unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver.
17. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. The illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of
any provision of this Agreement under the law of any jurisdiction shall not
affect its legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other
jurisdiction nor the legality, validity or enforceability of any other
provision.
18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with its Attachments and
Exhibits, is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement
and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement with
respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be contradicted by
evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement, oral or written, and this
Agreement may not be explained or supplemented by evidence of consistent
additional terms. This Agreement supersedes, merges, and voids all prior
representations, statements,
8
negotiations, understandings, proposed agreements, and other agreements, written
or oral, relating to its subject matter.
19. AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or
supplemented except by a writing executed by both parties.
20. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each an original but all one and the same instrument.
21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
the successors and assigns of Macrovision and any successors and permitted
assigns of CAC, and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of
Macrovision and of CAC.
22. NOTICES. Any notice or other communication required or permitted
under this Agreement shall be in writing and either personally delivered or
deposited in the first class United States mail, prepaid, certified or
registered, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

the manner provided in this Section.
23. PLEDGE OF VESTED SHARES. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7
and 11(a) above, CAC shall have the right to pledge Vested Shares for the sole
purpose of securing a loan; provided, however, that any pledgee of such Vested
Shares must first agree in writing (i) to be
9
bound by the provisions of Section 11 above with respect to any attempt by the
pledgee to sell or otherwise transfer the ownership of any of the Vested Shares,
and (ii) that no registration rights with respect to any of the Vested Shares
shall be deemed transferred to or exercisable by the pledgee as a result of the
pledge of such Vested Shares. Upon receipt by Macrovision of such written
agreement from the intended pledgee, Macrovision shall instruct the Escrow Agent
to release Vested Shares to CAC for the sole purpose of facilitating a pledge of
such Vested Shares as set forth in this Section 23, and then only for so long as
such Vested Shares are required for such pledge.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective as
of the date first above written.

Joint Escrow Instructions
JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS
These Joint Escrow Instructions are entered into as of July 31, 1996.
RECITALS
MACROVISION CORPORATION, a California corporation ("Macrovision"), and the
undersigned purchaser of stock ("CAC") desire to appoint Wise & Xxxxxxx LLP, a
Limited Liability Partnership including a Professional Corporation, or any such
other person so designated by Macrovision as their agent ("Agent") with respect
to certain certificate(s) evidencing shares of Macrovision's common stock
purchased by CAC pursuant to the Restricted Stock Acquisition Agreement (the
"Agreement"), between Macrovision and CAC dated the date hereof, to which a copy
of these Joint Escrow Instructions is attached as EXHIBIT C.
ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS
Macrovision and CAC hereby authorize and direct Agent to hold the documents
and certificate(s) delivered to Agent pursuant to these Escrow Instructions and
to take the following actions with respect thereto, and Macrovision and CAC
hereby agree as follows:
1. CAC hereby delivers and/or agrees to deliver to Agent CAC's
certificate(s) evidencing the stock purchased under the Agreement ("Stock") and
two (2) Assignments Separate from Certificate executed in blank. CAC
irrevocably authorizes Macrovision to deposit with Agent any certificates
evidencing shares of Macrovision's stock acquired by CAC pursuant to the
Agreement.
2. The provisions of these Escrow Instructions shall apply for so long as
the Stock is "Unvested Shares" as defined in the Agreement, and thereafter until
the right of first refusal set forth in Section 11 of the Agreement lapses.
This escrow shall terminate as to all or any portion of the Stock when it has
become "Vested Shares" as defined in the Agreement and the right of first
refusal set forth in Section 11 of the Agreement no longer applies to it.
3. In the event that a "Surrender Event" as defined in the Agreement
shall occur, Macrovision shall give to CAC and Agent a written notice (the
"Surrender Notice") which states (a) the number of Unvested Shares remaining,
and (b) specifies the Surrender Event that has occurred. CAC and Macrovision
hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Agent to transfer and deliver the
Unvested Shares as specified in the Surrender Notice, and upon Agent's receipt
of the Surrender Notice, Agent shall deliver to Macrovision the certificate(s)
evidencing the shares of Stock to be transferred to Macrovision.
4. Macrovision may at any time release some or all of the Stock from the
provisions of these Escrow Instructions by giving written notice to CAC and
Agent directing delivery to CAC of the shares of Stock to be released.
5. To facilitate the exercise of Macrovision's rights upon any Surrender
Event and the performance of these instructions, CAC does hereby constitute and
appoint Agent as CAC's attorney-in-fact and agent for the term of this escrow to
execute with respect to such securities all stock certificates, stock
assignments or other instruments which shall be necessary or appropriate to make
such securities negotiable and complete any transaction herein contemplated,
including Macrovision's exercise of its right of first refusal. CAC understands
that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Subject
to the provisions of these Escrow Instructions and the restrictions of Sections
5 and 6 of the Agreement, CAC shall exercise all rights and privileges of a
stockholder of Macrovision while the Stock is held by Agent; provided, however,
CAC may not sell, transfer, dispose of or in any manner encumber any shares of
the Stock while such shares of Stock are held by Agent hereunder.
6. If at the time of termination of this escrow, Agent shall have in its
possession any documents, securities, or other property belonging to CAC Agent
shall deliver all of same to CAC and shall be discharged of all further
obligations hereunder.
7. Agent's duties hereunder may be altered, amended, modified or revoked
only by a writing signed by Macrovision and CAC, and approved by Agent.
8. Agent shall not be personally liable for any act Agent may do or omit
to do hereunder as escrow agent, agent for Macrovision, or attorney-in-fact for
CAC while acting in good faith and in the exercise of Agent's own good judgment,
and any act done or omitted by Agent pursuant to the advice of Agent's own
attorneys shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.
9. Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings
by any of the parties hereto or by any other person, firm, corporation, or other
entity, excepting only orders or process of courts of law, and is hereby
expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any
court. In the event Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or
decree of any court, Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or
to any other person, firm, corporation, or other entity by reason of such
compliance notwithstanding that any such order, judgment or decree shall be
subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have
been entered without jurisdiction.
10. Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity,
authorities or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to
execute or deliver any agreements or documents called for by the Agreement or
any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.
11. Agent shall not be liable for the barring of any rights under the
