(a)   The Initial Capital Contribution of each Member shall be an aggregate of $3,900,000 in quarterly installments as follows:

15

6.02.                                                                        Fiscal Year

The fiscal year of the Company shall be the calendar year.

6.03.                                                                        Distributions to the Members

The Company shall distribute to the Members any of the Company’s cash which, in the judgment of the Members’ Committee, exceeds the minimum cash requirements of the business for a reasonable period of time.  Such excess cash distributions shall be allocated between the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(a)   Capital Accounts.  The Company shall maintain a capital account for each Member in accordance with Treas. Regs. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and administrative guidance issued with respect thereto (each such account as so maintained, a “Capital Account”).  The provisions of this Agreement relating to Capital Accounts are intended to comply with such provisions and related provisions issued with respect to section 704 of the Code and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.  The Company shall have the authority to make such adjustments to the Members’ Capital Accounts as may be required to cause the allocations made by the Company to comply with such provisions.

(b)   Adjustments to Capital Accounts.  At least once each taxable year of the Company for United States tax purposes (as determined under Code section 706, a “Fiscal Year”), after adjusting each Member’s Capital Account for all contributions and distributions with respect to such Fiscal Year, the Company shall allocate all profits and losses and items thereof in the following order of priority: (A) First, (1) allocations of nonrecourse deductions shall be allocated among the Members pro rata in proportion to their Percentage Interests under Treas. Regs. § 1.704-2, including, without limitation, Treas. Regs. §§ 1.704-2(e) and 1.704-2(j)(1), (2) allocations of partner nonrecourse deductions attributable to a particular partner nonrecourse liability shall be allocated to the Member who has the economic risk of loss for that liability to the extent required under Treas. Regs. §§ 1.704-2(i) and 1.704-2(j)(1), (3) allocations of income and gain shall be made to Members whose share of partnership minimum gain is reduced to the extent required under Treas. Regs. §§ 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-1(j)(2), (4) allocations of income and gain shall be made to Members whose share of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain is reduced to the extent required under Treas. Regs. §§ 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-1(j)(2), and (5) a Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Treas. Regs. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) shall be allocated items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of partnership income, including gross income, and gain for such year) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit balance as quickly as possible; and (B) all remaining profits and losses and items thereof shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in a manner such that, after such allocations have been made, the balance of each Member’s Capital Account (which may be a positive, negative, or zero balance) shall equal (1) the amount that would be distributed to such Member, determined as if the Company were to sell all of its assets for the section 704(b) Book Value (as defined below) thereof and distribute the proceeds thereof (net of any sales commissions and other similar transaction fees and payments required to be made to creditors) pursuant to the relevant legal documents setting forth such distributions, minus (2) the sum of (a) such Member’s share of the “partnership minimum gain” (as determined under Treas. Regs. §§ 1.704-2(d) and (g)) and

16

“partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (as determined under Treas. Regs. § 1.704-2(i)), and (b) the amount, if any, that such Member is obligated (or is deemed for United States tax purposes to be obligated) to contribute, in its capacity as a Member, to the capital of the Company as of the last day of such Fiscal Year.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this paragraph, all allocations of gain or loss recognized for Capital Accounting purposes in connection with property contributed by a Member to the Company that, on liquidation of the Company would be distributed to that Member, shall be specially allocated to that Member.

(c)   Code Section 704(c)(1)(A).  Except as provided in the following provisions of this Section 3, each item of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit shall be allocated in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” items allocated pursuant to Section 2.  In accordance with Code Section 704(c)(1)(A) (and the principles thereof) and Treas. Regs. § 1.704-3, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, or after Company property has been revalued under Treas. Regs. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), shall, solely for United States federal, state and local tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company property to the Company for United States federal income tax purposes and its value as so determined at the time of the contribution or revaluation of Company property.  This Paragraph shall be construed to authorize the Company to utilize only the “traditional method”  described in Treas. Regs. § 1.704-3(b) unless all Members agree otherwise.  Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Company.  Allocations pursuant to this Paragraph are solely for United States tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of profit, loss, or other items, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or otherwise affect the Members’ rights (including, without limitation, rights to distributions) and obligations with respect to the Company.

(d)   Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement: (A) the term “section 704(b) Book Value” means, with respect to any Company property, the Company’s adjusted basis for United States tax purposes, adjusted from time to time to reflect the adjustments required or permitted by Treas. Regs. §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d) through (g), provided that on the date of the contribution of an asset to the Company, the section 704(b) Book Value of any asset contributed to the Company shall be equal to the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Parties) of such asset on the date of such contribution, (B) the term “Treas. Regs.” means Treasury Regulations issued under the Code, and (C) the term “profits and losses” shall mean the items of profit and loss of the Company (including separately stated items) as computed under Treas. Regs. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

6.04.                                                                        Certain Other Allocation Rules

(a)   For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by Members’ Committee using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b)   Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit, for any fiscal year or other period, and any other

17

allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for such year or other period.

(c)   All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credits recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof and all basis allocations to the Members shall be determined without regard to any election under section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Company; provided, however, such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account the adjustments permitted by sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

6.05                                                                           Additional Capital Contributions

If and when the Company has used all of the Initial Capital Contribution, the Members Committee may determine that the Company requires additional capital to expand the Business.  The Members Committee shall notify the Members of the required amount and each Member may, but shall not be required to, make a capital contribution in an amount equal to their Percent Interest portion of such required capital.

6.06                                                                           Member’s Failure To Make Capital Contributions

In case either Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) elects not to make such a capital contribution, then the other Member (the “Other Member”) may elect to exercise one or more of the provisions set forth below.

(a)           The Other Member may withdraw its additional capital contribution in an amount comparable to that which the Noncontributing Member failed to make.

(b)           The Other Member may advance for its own Capital Account (in addition to its pro-rata share of the additional capital contribution), the additional capital contribution requested from the Noncontributing Member.  Thereafter allocations of excess cash distributions, net profits, and net losses, as well as distributions of the Assets and properties of the Company upon termination of this Agreement shall be made to each Member accordance with revised Percentage Interests determined in accordance with aggregate capital contributions made to the Company ignoring any prior return of Initial Capital Contributions or Additional Capital Contributions.

6.07                                                                           Accounting Procedures

(a) Accounting Principles.  The books of account of the Company shall be kept and maintained at the principal place of business of the Company, or at such other place or places as shall be determined by the Members’ Committee.  The books of account and the Financial Statements of the Company shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, which shall be utilized in the preparation of the books of account and Financial Statements of the Company.

18

month, quarter and year, as the case may be, but in no event later than twelve (12) working days after the end of each month or quarter or twenty-five (25) working days after the end of a year.  The Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with Section 6.05 (a) hereof, and shall be accompanied by:

(i)   a certificate signed by the president of the Company and the principal financial employee of the company to the effect that the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in the case of Financial Statements relating to any month, or to any of the first three fiscal quarters of each year, or to any full fiscal year for which audited Financial Statements are not requested by either Member pursuant to clause (ii) below; and

(ii)    an independent auditor’s report prepared by a firm of independent certified public accountants approved by the Members’ Committee, in the case of Financial Statements relating to a full fiscal year, if so requested by either Member.  The date that such certification shall be due will be prior to any SEC regulatory filing dates for Digimarc and shall be completed simultaneously with the audit of Digimarc to take advantage of any efficiencies and synergies in preparing for and completing such audits.

The president of the Company and the principal financial employee of the Company responsible for providing accounting services to the Company shall also provide each Member and the Members’ Committee with such other reports relating to the operations of the Company as it may from time to time request. Any audit under subparagraph (i) or (ii) hereof shall be at the Company’s expense.

6.08                                                                           Principle Tax Matters

(a)The Members Committee shall designate  the “tax matters partner” of the Company for United States federal income tax purposes (the “Tax Matters Member”).  Pursuant to Section 6223(c) of the Code, upon receipt of notice from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) of the beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Company, the Tax Matters Member shall furnish the IRS with the name, address and profit interest of each of the Members provided, however, that such information is provided to the Tax Matters Member by the Members.

(b) The Tax Matters Member shall, with the prior approval of the Members’ Committee, be permitted to:

(i) enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of the Company items required to be taken into account by a Member for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “Tax Audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “Judicial Review”);

(ii) in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Company level of any item required to be taken into account by a Member for tax purposes (a “Final Adjustment”) is mailed to the Tax Matters Member, seek Judicial Review of such Final Adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the United States Claims Court, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Company’s principal place of business is located;

19

(iii)   file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for Judicial Review with respect to such request;

(iv)   enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be taken into account by a Member for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and

(v)    take any other action on behalf of the Members in connection with any Tax Audit or Judicial Review proceeding.

The Tax Matters Member shall consult with the other Member (that is not the Tax Matters Member) and receive the other Member’s written approval before taking any action pursuant to this Section 6.06(b) and show the other Member the relevant paperwork that such Member requests associated with such action.  In the case of a disagreement between the Tax Matters Member and the other Member, an accounting firm to be selected by the Members’ Committee will resolve such disputes.

The Tax Matters Member shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Member in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and any out-of-pocket expenses) shall be borne by the Company. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Company from engaging an accounting firm or other experts or consultants to assist the Tax Matters Member in discharging its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Company for such services is reasonable.

(c) Unless the Members shall determine that other methods of allocations are required by the Code or applicable Treasury Regulations, each item of income, gain, loss and credit of the Company shall be allocated between the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests for the fiscal year (or portion thereof) to which the item relates.

6.09                                                                           Payment and Withholding of Certain Taxes

(a)  The Company may withhold taxes from distributions to any Member, or otherwise pay taxes on a Member’s allocable share of Company items of income and gain, to the extent permitted by Section 6.12(b) below.  For purposes of this Agreement, any amount of taxes so paid or withheld with respect to any Member shall be deemed to be a distribution to such Member and shall reduce the applicable amount otherwise distributable to such Member and, as necessary, the next distributions to be made to that Member, pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the Company is required, pursuant to any applicable law, (i) to pay tax (including estimated tax) on a Member’s allocable share of Company items of income or gain, whether or not distributed, or (ii) to withhold and pay over to the tax authorities any portion of a distribution otherwise distributable to a Member, the Company may withhold and pay over such tax or such withheld amount to the tax authorities, and such amount shall be treated as a distribution to such Member at the time it is paid to the tax authorities.

Services Agreement

Schedule 5.02 (d)

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

This is a Development Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Digimarc Corporation, a Delaware corporation, having a place of business at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and its subsidiaries (“Digimarc”), and [Newco 1, LLC], a Delaware limited liability company, having a place of business at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Newco 1”).

For good and valuable consideration as stated herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

This Agreement is entered into contemporaneously with, and appended as a schedule to, the Limited Liability Company Agreement of [Newco 1, LLC].

The effective date of this Agreement is July 1, 2009 (“Effective Date”).

Definitions of terms defined in the Limited Liability Company Agreement of [Newco 1, LLC] are not repeated here.

1.               IP Ownership and License Grants.

1.1.          Technology and Patents Developed Pursuant to Development Services Agreement.  Ownership and licensing of intellectual property shall be consistent with section 5.01 of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of [Newco 1, LLC] with respect to the Digimarc Services provided for herein.

2.               Digimarc Services.

2.1.          Authorized Services.  Digimarc will perform services for Newco 1 relating to the development of Newco 1 products and services (the “Digimarc Services”), including research, development, engineering, quality assurance, market research and development, strategic planning, strategy development, business development, project management, reporting, and such other services or activities as will be determined from time to time by the management of Newco 1 and the Members’ Committee of Newco 1.  Digimarc will perform the Digimarc Services in good faith and with a reasonable standard of quality, but in no event with a standard of quality less than that Digimarc employs for services Digimarc performs for itself.  The Digimarc Services shall not include any time or labor spent by Digimarc in its own strategic planning or the management of its own organization, outside of the management of the specific activities to be conducted as part of such Services.

2.2.          Annual Work Plan.  The particular Digimarc Services to be performed and expenditures to be made by Digimarc shall be set forth in an annual work

plan and budget (the “Annual Work Plan”) as adopted and approved by the management of Newco 1.  The parties shall mutually agree upon a process for determining the Annual Work Plan consistent with the Approved Budget and Approved Business Plan process of and for Newco 1.  The Annual Work Plan shall state reasonable and specific objectives to be met by Digimarc, and which shall take into account Newco 1’s strategic goals and operational experience, Digimarc’s resources and capabilities to assist Newco 1 in achieving those goals, and the market conditions then prevailing.  The parties shall also mutually agree upon an informal process for change management and for resolving disputes concerning determination of the Annual Work Plan.  In all events, Digimarc shall make resources available in each year covered by a timely submitted and reasonable Annual Work Plan (a “Plan Year”) sufficient to perform the Digimarc Services identified in the Annual Work Plan.  The first Plan Year for the rest of 2009 will begin on July 1, 2009, prior to completion of the Annual Work Plan, based upon a short statement of work to be agreed upon by the parties.  The Annual Work Plan for 2010 will be determined as soon as practicable thereafter, and no later than December 31, 2009.  Successive Annual Work Plans shall be determined no later than ninety (90) days prior to the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year.  If Digimarc reasonably believes that any requested changes to the Annual Work Plan will result in additional expenditures exceeding those approved by Newco 1 in the Annual Work Plan, it shall so inform Newco 1.  If Newco 1 and Digimarc agree to the requested changes and such additional expenditures, they shall amend the Annual Work Plan to reflect such changes.  Unless the Members’ Committee of Newco 1 authorizes such additional expenditures in writing, Newco 1 shall not be obligated to pay for Digimarc Services in excess of the larger of (a) the amount set forth in the Annual Work Plan (including as amended pursuant to the preceding sentence) or (b) the Service Minimum Fee (as defined below).

2.3.          Quarterly Reporting and Review.  Within thirty (30) days following the end of each quarter during each Plan Year, Digimarc shall provide reports stating its progress in achieving the objectives set forth in the Annual Work Plan, and describing in detail the Digimarc Services performed and expenditures made in that quarter.  The parties shall mutually agree upon a process for a joint quarterly review of Digimarc’s progress in achieving the objectives set forth in the Annual Work Plan, and for considering any changes that either Newco 1 or Digimarc may propose to the Annual Work Plan.

2.4.          Minimum Service Fees.  Subject to any termination of its obligation to engage Digimarc to perform the Digimarc Services, Newco 1 shall pay, in equal quarterly payments as set forth below, the following minimum annual amounts for Digimarc Services in each Plan Year (the “Minimum Service Fees”):

In the event that Digimarc is retained to provide development services to [Newco 2, LLC] during the term of this Agreement, the amounts paid by [Newco 2, LLC] shall be

credited against the minimums set forth above.  Quarterly payments of such fees, including Minimum Service Fees, will be due and payable to Digimarc only for those quarters in which Digimarc performs Digimarc Services in accordance with a timely submitted and reasonable Annual Work Plan, at such levels as would be sufficient to generate the Minimum Service Fees as set forth above; or if Newco 1 fails to timely submit a reasonable Annual Work Plan, in which Digimarc was ready, willing and able to perform such level of Digimarc Services.  Quarterly Minimum Service Fee payments are due and payable to Digimarc on the first day of each quarter in which the Digimarc Services are to be provided.  Minimum Service Fees do not include any hardware, equipment or software purchased on behalf of Newco 1 by Digimarc.  Hardware, equipment or software will only be purchased on behalf of Newco 1 by Digimarc upon written approval by Newco 1 and will be charged back to Newco 1 with no markup.

2.5.          Labor Rates.  Labor rates charged for Digimarc Services will be as shown in Appendix A.  The labor rates will be increased on January 1 of each year based on the report used by Digimarc for evaluating annual labor rates for similar project work, reflecting an determination of average rates of wage and benefits cost inflation, and may otherwise be adjusted by mutual agreement of the parties. The Members shall have an opportunity to review the aforementioned labor report prior to implementation of any annual labor rate adjustments.

2.6.          Digimarc Services Payment Schedule and Invoice.  Digimarc shall furnish an invoice to Newco 1 following each quarter of any Plan Year.  The invoice shall be accompanied by an itemization of the Digimarc Services actually performed in that quarter, including an identification of individual timekeepers, their respective hours and rates, and the nature of the work performed by them with reference to the objectives of the Annual Work Plan.  The invoice shall also be accompanied by an itemization of those out-of-pocket expenditures reasonably incurred by Digimarc in performing the Digimarc Services, reimbursement of which shall be included in the Minimum Service Fees.  Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such invoice, Newco 1 shall pay for Digimarc Services actually performed by Digimarc in accordance with the then-current Annual Work Plan in that quarter to the extent that the Digimarc Services actually performed by Digimarc within that Plan Year to date, as reflected in the cumulative quarterly invoices for that Plan Year, exceed the Minimum Service Fees owed for that Plan Year cumulatively to date.  If the amount of Digimarc Services actually performed and invoiced in that quarter, when added to the amount of Digimarc Services actually performed and invoiced in prior quarters of that Plan Year, is less than the Minimum Service Fees owed for that Plan Year cumulatively to date, Newco 1 shall [**].

2.7.          Audit Rights.  For a period of three (3) years following the end of any Plan Year, or until resolution of a dispute concerning the accuracy of the invoices or quarterly reports for a particular Plan Year arising within that three-year period, Newco 1 (and its designated agents) shall have the right to inspect and examine Digimarc’s books and records relating to the Digimarc Services, including time records and activity logs,

** CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

for the purpose of determining whether Digimarc’s invoices and quarterly reports for that Plan Year are accurate; provided, however, that Digimarc may redact such documents to preserve the confidentiality of Digimarc proprietary information that is not necessary to verify the accuracy of the invoices or quarterly reports.  Any such inspection and examination will take place upon reasonable prior written notice to Digimarc, during regular business hours and no more than once a year.  Digimarc shall promptly refund to Newco 1 any amount that the audit shows was overpaid by Newco 1 in that Plan Year per the Agreement and, if the overpayment is greater than 5% of the total payment for that Plan Year, Digimarc shall also pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the inspection and examination.

2.8.          Newco 1 Commitment of Resources.   Newco 1 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop and support its products and services, including the commitment of a reasonable amount of marketing, financial and organizational resources.  In furtherance of those efforts, Newco 1 shall prepare an Annual Work Plan for the development and support of the Newco 1 products and services business, shall invite Digimarc to advise and contribute to the formation of such plan, and shall share such plan with Digimarc.   The Members’ Committee shall review the Annual Work Plan at each quarterly meeting and make whatever changes it believes necessary and appropriate for the operation of the Company.

2.9.          Digimarc Opportunity to Bid.   For so long as [**], Newco 1 shall provide Digimarc with a reasonable opportunity to [**].

2.10.        Limitations on Digimarc Services for Other Parties.  For as long as Newco 1 is timely paying Digimarc for Digimarc Services, Digimarc shall not [**].

2.11.        Patent Prosecution.  To the extent that the parties identify potentially patentable inventions arising from the Digimarc Services, with the consent of and pursuant to the direction of the Members’ Committee, the parties will determine how and whether to prosecute a patent for such inventions.

3.              Remedies for Breach.

3.1.          Remedies for Breach.  If either party materially breaches this Agreement, the non-breaching party may, in addition to other remedies at law and in equity, terminate this Agreement.  Prior to terminating this Agreement for breach, the non-breaching party must first give the breaching party written notice specifying in detail the alleged breach.  The breaching party shall then have seventy-five (75) days to cure such breach.

** CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

4.              Termination.

The term of this Agreement is through December 31, 2011.

5.              Other Provisions.

5.1.          Confidentiality.  Each party agrees that it will treat confidential information of the other party in a manner consistent with the confidentiality agreement between the parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may provide a copy of this Agreement to a third party considering in good faith a bona fide transaction as contemplated in Section 5.2, provided that such third party agrees in writing to be bound to a confidentiality agreement customary to such transactions and prohibiting use of its knowledge of this Agreement or its provisions for any competitive purpose.  Upon request by the disclosing party with respect to specifically identified information, the receiving party will return to the disclosing party or destroy all of the confidential information in the receiving party’s possession or control furnished to it by the disclosing party which the receiving party does not need to retain in order to perform any obligations imposed, or exercise any rights (including rights of ownership) acquired, by this Agreement, and shall certify in writing its return or destruction of such confidential information.  If the receiving party is subject to judicial or governmental proceedings or is subject to government regulations requiring disclosure of confidential information of the disclosing party, then prior to disclosing such information, the receiving party will provide the disclosing party with reasonable prior notice for the disclosing party to seek a protective order for confidential treatment of the confidential information and will only disclose that information that is necessary and required.  If the entire Agreement is terminated, the obligations set out in this Section will extend for a period of [**] years from this termination date, except that the confidential information of the disclosing party that is specifically identified by it as a trade secret will be protected for a period of [**] years.

5.2.            Assignment.  Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the other, and any such purported assignment shall be null and void from inception; provided, however, that (a) either party may assign all its rights and delegate all its obligations hereunder to a single person without such approval in connection with: (i) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, statutory conversion, amalgamation or similar corporate transaction, or (ii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in the businesses relating to this Agreement, and (b) Newco 1 may assign all its rights and delegate all its responsibilities to an Affiliate in connection with a restructuring or reorganization of Newco 1.

5.3.          Bankruptcy.  Any intellectual property licenses and rights granted to either party hereunder or pursuant hereto are, and will be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Code”) licenses of “intellectual property”, as defined under the Code.  Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, if a party is under any proceeding under the Code and the trustee in bankruptcy of that party, or that party as a debtor in possession, rightfully elects to reject

** CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

this Agreement, then the other party pursuant to the relevant portions of Section 365(n) of the Code may retain any and all of such other party’s licenses and rights hereunder to the maximum extent permitted by law.

5.4.          Limitations on Damages.  NEITHER DIGIMARC NOR NEWCO 1 WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, RELIANCE, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

5.5.          Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by New York law.  All matters concerning the interpretation of, or performance under, this Agreement will be resolved in the state or federal courts in New York applying New York law and jurisdiction and venue will be proper in such New York courts.

5.6.          No Waiver.  Each and all of the various rights, powers and remedies of the parties will be considered to be cumulative with and in addition to any other rights, powers and remedies which such parties may have at law or in equity in the event of breach of any of the terms of this Agreement.  The exercise or partial exercises of any rights, powers or remedies will neither constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to such party.  In no event will any waiver of any rights hereunder constitute the waiver of such rights in any future instance unless the waiver so specifies in writing.

5.7.          Notices.  All notices of breach or early termination must be made in writing.  Any written notice under this Agreement will be sent by email with a hard copy sent via certified mail, return receipt requested, or by recognized courier service with tracking capabilities.  The notice will be deemed effective as of the earlier of (i) the date of delivery, as evidenced by a delivery receipt or the addressee’s registry, or (ii) five business days after sending notice to the correct address in the authorized manner.  The addresses of the parties, as set forth above, will be used for any such notice unless either party hereafter designates a substitute address in writing in accordance with this provision.

[Name of Client]

This Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of [effective date of Agreement], between The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Company (US), Inc., a New York corporation (“Nielsen”), and [Name of Client], a [state/type of organization] (“Client”), governs the provision and use of data, information, technology and related services (“Services”) identified in one or more local service agreements or in a project order for Custom Services (as defined below) (each an “LSA”), entered into by Nielsen and Client and/or their respective affiliates.  “Nielsen” shall mean Nielsen and/or its affiliates and “Client” shall mean Client and/or its affiliates, and in each LSA “Nielsen” shall mean the Nielsen entity providing the Services and “Client” shall mean the Client entity receiving the Services under such LSA.  Each LSA binds only the Nielsen and Client entities which execute the LSA, or on behalf of which the LSA is executed, and does not vest rights in any affiliate that is not a party to such LSA.  This Agreement shall apply to any services provided to Client during the term of this Agreement, whether or not specified in an LSA.

Article 1.               Scope of Service

1.1          Services; Ownership and License.  Nielsen shall deliver the Services set forth in each LSA (which may include one or more of the following) for use solely by Client in accordance with this Agreement and such LSA.  The data and information included in Services are referred to as “Nielsen Information”.  Client agrees that:

(a)           “Licensed Services” are services to which Nielsen retains ownership and which Nielsen does not sell but licenses to multiple clients including, among others, media, household panel, retail tracking, online and mobile services and Technology Services (as defined below).  Client is granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use Licensed Services as set forth in this Agreement and any applicable LSA.

(b)           “Custom Services” include BASES and certain customized research Services (not including any Technology Services) and ownership of such Custom Services shall be subject to the terms of the applicable LSA and/or project order.

(c)           “Technology Services” include Internet portals, access and analytic tools, licensed systems, templates and software (including delivery media, manuals, updates and new versions provided by Nielsen), and Client shall maintain, and upgrade if necessary, its hardware, operating systems and third party software consistent with any requirements and/or changes to the Technology Services, and Nielsen shall provide Client with notice of such requirements and/or changes for the operation of Technology Services prior to implementation.

2.1          Fees.  Client agrees to pay the fees set forth in each LSA and such fees are due when invoiced and are payable within 30 days of the date of the invoice.  Client agrees to pay interest at 1.5% per month (or, if lower, the maximum legal rate) from the date originally due until payment is received by Nielsen on all amounts thereafter.

2.2          Taxes.  Client is responsible for all value-added, goods and services, sales, use and similar taxes due with respect to the Services.

Article 3.                                            Use of Services
