     2.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement and MedQuist’s rights under Sections 15 and 17, PSP hereby grants to MedQuist, and MedQuist hereby accepts from PSP, an exclusive, perpetual and non-transferable license to offer for sale, sublicense, sell, deliver and service the Products, and to authorize others to offer for sale, sublicense, sell, deliver, and service the Products, directly and through one or more tiers of distributors, dealers, and resellers (collectively, the “Dealers”), within the territory set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement (“Territory”); provided that such rights are nonefxclusive for the specified nonexclusive Territory on Schedule A.

     2.2 PSP reserves all rights related to the Products that PSP does not expressly grant MedQuist in this Agreement. Outside MedQuist’s exclusive Territory, PSP may offer for sale, sell, deliver, and service the Products, and may authorize others to offer for sale, sell, deliver, and service the Products, without providing any rights or compensation to MedQuist. During and after the Term, inside MedQuist’s exclusive Territory, PSP and any Affiliate: (i) may not offer for sale, sell, deliver or service the Products; or (ii) authorize others to offer for sale, sell, deliver, or service the Products.

MedQuist will ensure that all Dealers appointed by MedQuist are sufficiently trained and competent to sell and support the Product in their respective territories.

3. Initial Term and Renewal.

     3.1 Initial Term. This Agreement will be deemed to have commenced on June 1, 2004, and had an initial term that ended on June 30, 2007 (“Initial Term”). Pursuant to the renewal terms set forth below in Section 3.2, the term was extended through June 30, 2010 for the first Renewal Term (of the two possible Renewal Terms), and is subject to termination as set forth in this Agreement.

If PSP decides to discontinue all business relating to the Products in the Territory on or after June 30, 2010, PSP can effect such discontinuation by terminating this Agreement by providing Medquist six (6) months prior written notice of such discontinuation (by way of clarification, the earliest such discontinuation can therefore occur is at the end of the first Renewal Term (June 30, 2010), and therefore the notice of termination from PSP for such date would have to be provided to MedQuist by January 1, 2010). Otherwise, this Agreement will automatically expire at the end of the second Renewal Term (June 30, 2013).

          3.2.1 [Intentionally Omitted]

          3.2.2 [Intentionally Omitted]

4. Fees.

     4.1 Product Co-Ownership Fee. In consideration of PSP’s grant of co-ownership of the Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, MedQuist will pay PSP a Product co-ownership fee in cash in the amount of ******* (the “Product Co-Ownership Fee”), as follows: 100% on the date PSP delivers a duly-executed original of this Amended and Restated Agreement and a copy of the Source Code of the Products to MedQuist.

     4.2 License Fee. During the Term, MedQuist will pay PSP sums owed for the License Fees set forth on Schedule C to this Agreement, on a calendar monthly basis, within ******* from the end of each such calendar month. The foregoing does not alter the reporting requirement of Section 6.2. For License Fees set forth on Schedule C to this Agreement and software maintenance fees set forth in Section 4.3 reported in calendar year 2006, the Parties agree that these License Fees and software maintenance fees only become due after MedQuist reports in writing to PSP that these Product installations have been successfully implemented at the MedQuist customer sites. For calendar year 2007 and thereafter, the Parties agree to jointly annually review the payment terms if the implementation phase at the MedQuist customer sites, as determined by MedQuist, can on average be reduced from currently ******* (as of the Amended and Restated Agreement Effective Date) to ******* or less. In that case the payment terms set forth in this Section will be reduced from ******* or any agreed upon shorter period

required for the average implementation.

     4.3 Software Maintenance Fee.

          4.3.1 During the Term, MedQuist will use reasonable commercial efforts to sell its End Users a software maintenance agreement (an “SMA”). Such SMA will provide that the subscribing End User will obtain, directly from PSP or from PSP through MedQuist or directly from MedQuist, as MedQuist deems appropriate:

               4.3.1.1 Software Releases. As used in this Agreement, “Software Release” means a new version of the Products delivered to MedQuist for internal or external user testing or commercial availability. Software Releases are typically numbered sequentially (e.g., Release 4.x, Release 6.x).

               4.3.1.2 Patch Releases. As used in this Agreement, “Patch Release” means a change PSP makes to a Software Release, which is an internal change designed to correct minor anomalies or defects in the Software (colloquially referred to as “bugs”), or otherwise to provide minor improvements to performance without changing the Software’s basic design, structure, or functionality. Patch Releases are typically numbered to signify modifications to a version of Software Release (e.g., Version 4.1.05, Version 4.1.06).

               4.3.1.3 Point Releases. As used in this Agreement, “Point Release” means a modification or enhancement (colloquially referred to as an “upgrade”) to a Software Release that: (i) enables the Software Release to perform new or different functions; (ii) increases the capability of the Software; or (iii) enables the Software to function on new or different hardware or in a new or different software environment without changing its basic design, structure or functionality. Point Releases are typically numbered as versions of a Software Release (e.g., Version 4.1, Version 4.2, etc.).

               4.3.1.4 Technical Support to resolve technical issues that are more practicably resolved by PSP (as to PSP supported Products) than by MedQuist.

          4.3.2 SMA contracts MedQuist sells will begin at the end of PSP’s Warranty Period (as set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement) and will be renewable on an annual basis. In the event that MedQuist allows an End User to terminate or cancel an SMA before the end of the term of such SMA, MedQuist will provide notice of such termination to PSP, and PSP will refund to MedQuist the pro-rata portion of fees paid to PSP for such SMA within thirty (30) days after MedQuist provides such notice.

          4.3.3 For each SMA contract that MedQuist sells, it will pay PSP the following sums within ******* after the reporting date for the Software licenses are due per Section 6.2.:

               4.3.3.1 For sums owed for the period beginning with the Original Effective Date of this Agreement through June 30, 2006: ******* of the License Fee set forth on Schedule C to this Agreement.

               4.3.3.2 For sums owed for the period beginning July 1, 2006, through the remainder of the Initial Term and all Renewal Terms of this Agreement: ******* of the License Fee set forth on Schedule C to this Agreement.

          4.3.4 All sums owed set forth in Section 4.3.3 of this Agreement: (i) will he

calculated based on the License Fee and without regard to any discounts available to MedQuist; and (ii) will be amortized on a straight-line basis for each month over the term of the SMA.

          4.3.5 PSP will maintain the current code base of the Products until the earlier of: (i) *******; or (ii) MedQuist terminates the PSP maintenance and support obligations hereunder via thirty (30) days advance written notice to PSP. The PSP maintenance includes supporting MedQuist integrations of the Products to PACS, RIS and HIS vendors existing as of September 30, 2007. If the actual costs of PSP for maintaining the Products (the “Maintenance Costs”) during the period commencing on ******* and ending on ******* (the “Maintenance Period”) are higher than the Software maintenance fees to be paid to PSP during that period, then PSP shall be entitled to request a reasonable increase of the maintenance fees; provided, however, that in connection with such request, PSP will provide to MedQuist all necessary supporting cost documentation and will permit MedQuist representatives to audit such information upon reasonable advance notice from MedQuist; provided further, that PSP shall provide MedQuist with (i) a good faith estimate of the Maintenance Costs incurred by PSP during each calendar month within the Maintenance Period (each month a “Reporting Month”) no later than ten (10) days following the last day of such Reporting Month, and (ii) a report detailing the actual Maintenance Costs incurred by PSP during each Reporting Month no later than twenty-five (25) days following the last day of such Reporting Month.

     4.4 Additional Development Fees: MedQuist agrees to fund the development of a version 1.2 “Lite” of the Software in 2007 as specified in NEW SCHEDULE A-1 (SOW) to this Agreement. The “Additional Development Fee” to be paid by MedQuist to PSP for such development is dependent upon the actual hours spent and the prices per hour as itemized in NEW SCHEDULE B-1 to this Agreement. The current estimated Additional Development Fee is based on an estimate of ******* on average per month, starting from July 2007 until December 31, 2007; provided, however that PSP and MedQuist agree to a “not to exceed” cap on the Additional Development Fee of *******. Any changes to the specifications in NEW SCHEDULE A-1 (SOW) are subject to mutual agreement and may have influences on the required development work and/or may require an increase or reduction to the “not to exceed” cap. The product and program management of version 1.2 “Lite” will be a collaborative effort between PSP and MedQuist. In addition, because of the version 1.2 “Lite” timeline (as further described in Section 7), the SOW includes a supplemental role for MedQuist in additional quality assurance testing of this version of the Software. PSP will provide MedQuist a monthly detailed accounting, within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month, of the monthly hours and an agreed rate will be set as described in NEW SCHEDULE B-1.

     4.5 Additional Consulting Services. During the Term, for matters not related to version 1.2 “Lite” but involving MedQuist development related to the Philips SpeechMagic SDK, PSP will provide to MedQuist, upon MedQuist’s request from time to time, and at no additional charge to MedQuist, additional consulting/development/training services worth an aggregate of ******* (using the rates set forth in NEW SCHEDULE B-1) (“Additional Consulting Services”). The Additional Consulting Services will be tracked using the same process as the development hours set forth in Section 4.4 above. Any additional consulting services to be provided by PSP beyond the Additional Consulting Services specified in this Section, shall be subject to the mutual agreement of PSP and MedQuist.

5. Order Placement.

     5.1 Upon MedQuist’s request, PSP will provide MedQuist with the Products as described in this Agreement, including without limitation the accompanying Schedules.

     5.2 PSP will deliver to MedQuist a “gold master” of the then-current version of the Software: (i) within seven (7) days after the execution and delivery of this Amended and Restated

Agreement by both parties to this Agreement; and (ii) promptly on the commercial availability of each Software Release. Software MedQuist distributes under this Agreement will be copies of the gold master PSP most recently furnished to MedQuist pursuant to this Agreement or, as determined by MedQuist, such other subsequent versions created by MedQuist following the transfer set forth in Section 15.

6. Payment.

     6.1 MedQuist will pay such sums owed free and clear of, and without offset or deduction for, any and all state and local use, sales, property, and similar taxes, levied or assessed on or in respect of such payments (other than any tax measured by or attributable to MedQuist’s gross or net income), as and when the same are due.

     6.2 By thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, MedQuist will furnish to PSP a written statement showing, in such detail as PSP may reasonably request, the quantities of Software actually licensed, and the quantities of Products actually sold and delivered, during the immediately-preceding month.

     6.3 MedQuist will, throughout the Term of this Agreement and for one (1) year following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, maintain a full and accurate record of the number of copies of the Software sublicensed in such detail as may enable PSP to verify the amount of license fees due under this Agreement. So as to permit verification, MedQuist will permit PSP to examine such records on reasonable advance written notice, during normal business hours at MedQuist’s offices at reasonable intervals no more frequently than two (2) times per calendar year. PSP will bear all costs and expenses for such an examination, except in those cases in which the examining accountant ascertains a discrepancy of more than five percent (5%) during the audited period to the disadvantage of PSP between payments actually made and payments due, in which event MedQuist will reimburse PSP all reasonable costs and expenses for such audit.

     6.4 PSP reserves the right to charge an interest rate of the lesser of: (i) eight percent (8%) per annum; or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, on past-due sums MedQuist owes under this Agreement.

     6.5 Payment of the Additional Development Fees outlined in 4.4 above will be due within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.

7. Development Services.

     7.1 PSP will deliver a beta ready version of version 1.2 “Lite” Software to MedQuist for internal and external user testing on or before *******, including a full copy of the Source Code thereto (“Beta Deliverable”). PSP will deliver a commercial version 1.2 “Lite” Software to MedQuist on or before *******, including a full copy of the Source Code thereto (“Commercial Deliverable”). This will enable MedQuist to showcase a new version of the Software at the annual ******* and make the version commercially available by no later than *******.

     7.2 Acceptance Process. “Deliverable” shall mean the Beta Deliverable or the Commercial Deliverable as applicable. MedQuist will notify PSP within 30 days after its receipt of the applicable Deliverable from PSP whether or not the Deliverable meets the applicable Acceptance criteria (“Acceptance Process”). If MedQuist determines that the Deliverable does not meet the applicable Acceptance criteria, MedQuist will notify PSP in writing of the non-conformities and/or Severity 1

Defects, and PSP shall correct such non-conformities and/or Severity 1 Defects and then re-deliver the revised Deliverable to MedQuist as promptly as practicable (but in no later than thirty (30) days from the date MedQuist notifies PSP of the non-conformities and/or Severity 1 Defects). Upon such re-delivery, the Acceptance Process shall repeat until MedQuist has affirmatively notified PSP in writing that the Deliverable meets the applicable Acceptance criteria or thirty (30) days from such re-delivery have passed with no notification from MedQuist of any non-conformities and/or Severity 1 Defects in such Deliverable.

     7.3 Acceptance Delays. To the extent that Acceptance of a Deliverable is delayed, for reasons solely attributable to PSP, beyond the original scheduled Acceptance date (for the Beta Deliverable: November 30, 2007; for the Commercial Deliverable: January 30, 2008), PSP shall pay to MedQuist ******* of delay until such Deliverable meets Acceptance (“Acceptance Delay Payments”). MedQuist may, at MedQuist’s option, in lieu of cash payments from PSP for the Acceptance Delay Payments, offset such amounts from any other payment amounts or obligations due from MedQuist to PSP.

     7.4 Acceptance Definitions.

			“Acceptance” means the Products conform to the agreed product specification and feature content detailed in the Statement of Work in Schedule A and no mutually agreed to, new or subsequent Severity 1 Defect(s) have been identified in such Products during the acceptance testing.
			“Severity 1 Defect(s)” means a software defect that causes loss of critical functionality, or corruption or loss of data without possibility of recovery for which no work around exists. A work around that may exist will not alter the requirement that the Product meet the product specification and feature content detailed in the Statement of Work in Schedule A.

8. Limited Warranty.

     8.1 PSP warrants that, for a period of ninety (90) days after the delivery date (the “Warranty Period”), the Software will perform in all material respects in accordance with the Documentation accompanying the Software. If any copy of the Software is found not to perform materially in accordance with the Documentation, PSP will correct such error or malfunction or (at PSP’s sole option) replace such Software free of charge as soon as is reasonably practicable, provided that: (i) the Software has been used in accordance with instructions for use; (ii) no alteration, modification or addition has been made to the Software without PSP’s prior written consent; and (iii) PSP has been promptly notified of the alleged non-conformity within the Warranty Period specified.

     8.2 MedQuist will send each claim of MedQuist under this warranty to PSP in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement. Each such claim will state generally the nature of the alleged non-conformity. If PSP determines in its sole discretion to repair the Software (or such portion of it as is giving rise to the non-conformity), MedQuist will afford PSP a reasonable time in which to do so. Any Software so repaired or replaced will be warranted for such period of time as is remaining in the original Warranty Period.

     8.3 This Limited Warranty is subject to the terms of Section 12 below. This Limited Warranty is PSP’s only obligations and the exclusive remedy of the End User with respect to the PSP supported Products and PSP’s only warranty with respect to the Products to the End User. PSP will have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to the Products if the failure is due to accident, abuse, or misapplication on the part of MedQuist or the End User.

     8.4 MedQuist may offer any warranty that PSP makes hereunder to any End Users provided that warranty claims by MedQuist’s End Users will be made solely against MedQuist and not PSP. The warranties contained in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of MedQuist.

9. Notification of Upgrades and Updates.

     9.1 PSP will notify MedQuist of any revisions and updates to the Software with respect to the development, maintenance and other PSP services provided hereunder that affect the operation, performance, or cost of such Software.

     9.2 MedQuist will apply any revisions or updates to the PSP supported Software as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notification from PSP.

10. MedQuist’s Representations and Undertakings. MedQuist represents and undertakes with PSP that:

     10.1 It will use commercially reasonable efforts to promote, market, and sell the Products during the term of this Agreement;

     10.2 It has the resources, facilities, and financial ability to market, distribute and provide first line customer support for the Product and fulfill all of its obligations under this Agreement;

     10.3 [Intentionally Omitted]

     10.4 It will not incur any liability on behalf of PSP, pledge or purport to pledge PSP’s credit, or purport to act as an agent of PSP or make any contract binding on PSP;

     10.5 [Intentionally Omitted]

     10.6 It will permit PSP or any independent third party PSP retains to enter MedQuist’s premises at a time MedQuist agrees to for the purpose of reviewing records related to this Agreement (including, without limitation, verifying the number of Software sublicenses granted by or through MedQuist and obtaining information concerning any Product complaints);

     10.7 [Intentionally Omitted]

     10.8 Third party software, as defined in Schedule E to this Agreement (the “Third Party Software”), that is provided by PSP to MedQuist and distributed with the Software will not be used in conjunction with any other programs or software whatsoever;

     10.9 It will obtain and maintain at its sole risk, cost, and expense, all governmental approvals required for or applicable to its distribution and other activities contemplated by this Agreement, and will be responsible at its sole risk, cost, and expense for complying with all applicable governmental statues, regulations, and ordinances (collectively, the “Laws”) related to such activities; and

     10.10 It will, before the delivery of the Products to an End User, ensure that such End

User enters into a software license agreement with MedQuist that will accompany each copy of the Software in substantially the form set forth on Schedule F to this Agreement or such other end user license agreement as determined by MedQuist from time to time (the “End User License Agreement”). MedQuist will, from time to time, provide PSP with a copy of any such updates to MedQuist’s standard End User License Agreement as such applies to the PSP supported Products.

11. PSP’s Obligations. PSP covenants, warrants, and agrees that it:

     11.1 Has the necessary approvals and licenses to grant to MedQuist the co-ownership, right to use, sublicense, and distribute the Software in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     11.2 Has the resources, facilities, and financial ability to develop and provide second line
support for the Products and to fulfill all of its obligations under this Agreement.

     11.3 Will provide initial 2 days of training in the use of the Products to technical staff of MedQuist at no additional charge, at the place agreed on by both parties. PSP and MedQuist will mutually limit the number of personnel participating in training sessions. On MedQuist’s request, PSP will provide a similar training program for all upgrades to the Software. Each first technical training for a new version will be done free of charge; for any subsequent training, PSP and MedQuist will agree on a reasonable price.

     11.4 Will at all times during the Term of this Agreement and where applicable, following
termination hereof, observe and perform the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.

     11.5 [Intentionally Omitted]

     11.6 Will not, during the Term of this Agreement, develop, create or release a front-end multi-user reporting solution (including but not limited to the Products or any solution substantially similar thereto) into the medical market in North America (as defined in Schedule B) nor, directly authorize, direct, assist or otherwise facilitate any of its Affiliates to do so.; however, for avoidance of doubt, nothing stated in this clause shall prohibit PSP’s Affiliates from integrating SpeechMagic within their general medical application products.

12. Exclusion Of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 8 OF THIS AGREEMENT, PSP MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, WHATSOEVER, AS TO THE PRODUCTS AND THE DOCUMENTATION. PSP EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSES, ACCURACY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, COURSE OF DEALING, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.

13. Limited Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, MULTIPLIED, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOST IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PRODUCT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR ITS LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF

THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS DEEMED TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS. IF ANY CLAIM IS MADE AGAINST A PARTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CLAIMS AS A RESULT OF THE SUBSTANTIAL NONCONFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE TO THE DOCUMENTATION OR OTHERWISE, THE PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES WILL BE LIMITED, IN THE AGGREGATE, TO ITS ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES, AND IN ANY EVENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL OF ALL AMOUNTS MEDQUIST IS OBLIGATED TO PAY PSP UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGE OR CERTAIN CLAIMS, SO SUCH LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY IN SUCH JURISDICTION.

14. Intellectual Property Indemnification. PSP will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MedQuist, and MedQuist’s directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, and attorneys, and MedQuist’s affiliates and their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees, agents, and attorneys, and the End Users, and the successor, and assigns of any or all of them, from all third-party Claims for infringement, misappropriation or violation of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights associated with any portion of the Product, or any other material delivered under this Agreement; provided that: (i) MedQuist promptly notifies PSP in writing of the Claim; (ii) PSP has sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations with respect to the Claim; provided however, that MedQuist has the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense of any such Claim through counsel of its own choosing (at MedQuist’s sole expense), which right will not detract from PSP’s sole right to control such defense; and (iii) MedQuist cooperates fully to the extent reasonably necessary, and executes all documents reasonably necessary for the defense of such Claim. “Claim” will mean all loss, losses, liabilities, damage, damages, claims, taxes, and all related costs and expenses; including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation, litigation, settlement, judgment, interest, and penalties. If MedQuist provides PSP with notice of a Claim, MedQuist may withhold any further payments due to PSP pursuant to this Agreement, and deposit the same in an interest-bearing escrow account with a commercial bank. On the resolution of any claim, the amounts in escrow, including accrued interest thereon, will be distributed to PSP after deductions of amounts PSP is required to pay MedQuist under this Section 14. If MedQuist’s or its End Users’ use of any portion of the Product or any other material delivered under this Agreement is enjoined in an action by reason of a Claim of infringement, violation or misappropriation of any third party’s patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other proprietary rights, or PSP reasonably believes that it will be so enjoined, then PSP will, at its sole option and expense, in addition to its other obligations in this Section 14: (i) procure for MedQuist and its End Users the right to continue using the Product or any portion thereof; (ii) replace the same with software of equivalent functions and efficiency that is not subject to an action described in this section; or (iii) modify the applicable Software so that there is no longer any infringement or breach, provided that such modification does not adversely affect the functional capabilities of the Product as set out in this Agreement. If neither (i), (ii), or (iii) may be accomplished despite PSP’s reasonably diligent efforts, MedQuist may terminate this Agreement with regard to the portion of the Product that is alleged to infringe, violate, or misappropriate a third party’s rights, and MedQuist shall, during the Term of this Agreement, be entitled to a pro-rata refund of the total of all amounts MedQuist has paid and is obligated to pay PSP under clauses 4.1 and 4.4 of this Agreement after the Amended and Restated Agreement Effective Date, with respect to such portion. PSP will have no liability respecting any claim of infringement or breach as aforesaid to the extent such claim is based on the combination, operation, or use of the Software with other equipment, software, apparatus, devices, or things not supplied by PSP or in a manner not substantially consistent with PSP’s specifications and instructions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, PSP shall not be liable for and the obligations of PSP in this Section will not apply to the extent of the use of the Product other than in accordance with its specifications or normal intended use; or any Claim based on or related to any modification or adaptation of the Product by any person other than PSP unless made on PSP’s behalf.

In no event shall PSP’s liability under this Section 14 exceed, in the aggregate, the total of all amounts MedQuist has paid and is obligated to pay PSP under this Agreement.

This Section 14 states the entire liability of PSP for any type of infringement or breach whatsoever of Intellectual Property Rights of third parties related to the manufacture, sale, operation, or use of the Product.

15. Product Co-Ownership. Upon the execution and delivery of this Amended and Restated Agreement, PSP and MedQuist shall jointly own all right title and interest in and to the Products (including object and Source Code for the SpeechQ for Radiology application and the SpeechQ for Radiology Integration SDK, but excluding the SpeechMagic engine and SpeechMagic SDK which MedQuist separately licenses) and the Intellectual Property Rights therein and all derivatives, modifications, enhancements, corrections, additions, and extensions to the Products (and Source Code) provided by PSP hereunder (including but not limited to the beta version of version 1.2 “Lite” Software and the commercial version of SpeechQ for Radiology version 1.2 “Lite”), without any right or duty of accounting to or consulting with the other party (excluding the obligations of Section 4.2 during the Term) and in relation to which each party shall, and does hereby, assign and convey to the other all rights, titles and interests necessary to give full effect to such joint ownership. Each party shall, and does hereby, assign and convey to the other all rights, titles and interests necessary to give full effect to such joint ownership of the Products (including Source Code); PSP covenants and agrees that PSP has all of the right, title and interest to the Products necessary to effectuate the foregoing and no further transfer or assignments from any other PSP Affiliate or any third party are necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Upon the request of MedQuist, PSP shall take such further actions, at MedQuist’s expense, as may be reasonably appropriate or necessary to confirm such rights. PSP represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) it has and will have the full and sufficient right to assign and grant the rights granted to MedQuist pursuant to this Agreement free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances and (ii) to PSP’s knowledge, none of the Products at the Amended and Restated Agreement Effective Date, infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party, nor has any claim of such infringement been threatened or asserted. The sole remedy for MedQuist for any breach of the warranty in subsection (ii) of the preceding sentence is set forth in clause 14 of this Agreement. PSP agrees MedQuist may make further derivatives, modifications, enhancements, corrections, additions, and extensions to the Products (“MedQuist Modifications”) and that MedQuist will be the sole and exclusive owner of the MedQuist Modifications without a duty to disclose or provide such to PSP, and PSP agrees to do nothing inconsistent with such ownership by MedQuist and nothing herein grants any license to such MedQuist Modifications to PSP. MedQuist agrees that PSP may make further derivatives, modifications, enhancements, corrections, additions, and extensions to the Products separate and apart from the development, maintenance and other PSP services provided hereunder (“PSP Modifications”) and that PSP will be the sole and exclusive owner of the PSP Modifications without a duty to disclose or provide such to MedQuist, and MedQuist agrees to do nothing inconsistent with such ownership by PSP and nothing herein grants any license to such PSP Modifications to MedQuist; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve PSP of any of its development, maintenance and other PSP service obligations hereunder.

     17.2 The Parties shall cooperate with each other and execute such other documents as may be necessary and appropriate to achieve the objectives of this Section and Section 15. Each of the joint owners of the Products shall have the right to assign its rights and interest in any jointly owned Product (including the Intellectual Property Rights therein) to an Affiliate or to an acquirer of (or a part of) the joint owner’s business, as part of a bona fide and solvent divestiture carried out at arm’s length basis, to which the jointly owned Product is relevant. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms

joint ownership and co-ownership are used interchangeably to mean joint ownership by PSP and MedQuist.

     17.3 In no event shall either party be precluded from independently developing for itself, or for others, anything, whether in tangible or non-tangible form, which is competitive with, or similar to, the co-owned Products.

To the extent necessary in connection with the foregoing, PSP shall cause its applicable Affiliates to grant similar rights to MedQuist as set forth in this Section with respect to any Marks used by PSP but held in the name of any such Affiliates. MedQuist will not use PSP’s trade names or abbreviations (with the exception of a logo or ▇▇▇▇ or graphic design PSP provides which indicates MedQuist is an authorized value-added reseller of PSP) in MedQuist’s corporate title or name, or in any manner that may result in confusion as to separate and distinct identities of PSP and MedQuist. MedQuist agrees that it has no right, title, or interest in or to the Marks except the limited right of use set forth in this Agreement. MedQuist will not use any ▇▇▇▇ in any way except as PSP may authorize. MedQuist will submit to PSP representative samples of all labels, advertising, promotional and marketing materials, and other items that use or bear any ▇▇▇▇ for PSP’s approval prior to publication or distribution. MedQuist will use the Marks only in the forms PSP designate, will not alter or modify any ▇▇▇▇, and will include an appropriate trademark notice ^® or ^TM with each use of any

▇▇▇▇. On expiration or termination of this Agreement, the license granted under this Section 17.4 will automatically terminate and MedQuist will immediately cease and desist all use of the Marks licensed under this Agreement.

     17.5 MedQuist intends to market the Products described in this Agreement under the trademark “SpeechQ^TM” and certain trademarks, trade names, service marks, logotypes, and other commercial symbols related thereto (collectively, the “SpeechQ Marks”). PSP further acknowledges and agree that: (i) there is substantial and valuable goodwill in the SpeechQ Marks; (ii) as between PSP and any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and MedQuist and any of its Affiliates on the other, MedQuist owns all rights to the SpeechQ Marks and all goodwill related to them; (iii) neither PSP nor any of its Affiliates will contest MedQuist’s ownership of the SpeechQ Marks, or the validity of the SpeechQ Marks, at any time during or after the Term of this Agreement; and (iv) neither PSP nor any of its Affiliates will misappropriate the SpeechQ Marks, infringe on MedQuist’s rights in the SpeechQ Marks, or use the SpeechQ Marks without MedQuist’s prior written consent, at any time during or after the Term of this Agreement.

     17.6 Any advertising, publicity, release or other disclosure of information concerning this Agreement should be released only after receiving a prior written approval by both parties except as required by law.

     17.7 Neither Party, unless approved by both Parties in writing, is allowed to link, combine or otherwise use the co-owned Products with any open source software, if such linkage, combination or use would create a risk, or have the “viral” effect, of requiring the disclosure or licensure of the co-owned Products as open source under the GNU General Public License or under the terms of any other comparable viral open source license. In the event an action is performed resulting in the co-owned Products being licensed under the GNU General Public License or under the terms of any other

comparable viral open source license without approval by both Parties, the Party causing this action shall indemnify the other Party against and hold the other Party harmless from any and all damages and/or costs arising from or in connection with any breach of the provisions of this Section 17.7 and shall reimburse any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other Party in defending any claim, demand, suit or proceeding arising from or in connection with such breach.

MedQuist will return to PSP all confidential information received pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in its possession or control on termination of this Agreement, or forthwith on the request of PSP.
