such Product, Riverdeep shall have the right to replace such Product with a
product of comparable market value and saleability to be agreed upon by the
parties. If the parties are able to reach agreement as to an appropriate
replacement product, such product shall be deemed a "Product" hereunder,
Distributor shall have all rights with respect thereto as provided with respect
to other Products hereunder, and Distributor shall have no further claim against
Riverdeep arising out of the failure to provide the Product so replaced, it
being understood that each party shall retain its rights and obligations in
regard to customer support, representations, warranties, indemnification,
returns, credits, license fees and royalties due on such Product units already
in the Channel. If the parties, operating in good faith and with commercial
reasonableness, are unable to reach agreement on any replacement product within
fifteen (15) days after notification to Distribution of such Loss Event, or if
Riverdeep has lost such rights by reason of a default under its license
agreement for such Product, Distributor shall have all of its rights and
remedies hereunder, at law, or in equity; provided however, that Distributor

parties shall mutually agree upon the ship dates therefor, and thereafter
Riverdeep shall provide the
5
Deliverables for such Products no later than by the dates set forth on Exhibit
D. Without implication as to the materiality of a default in respect of any
other Products, Riverdeep's failure to furnish the Deliverables for the eight
highest revenue generating Products over the preceding 12-month period shall be
deemed to constitute a material default by Distributor hereunder unless cured
under the default provisions hereof. In addition to any other rights and
remedies available to Distributor for Riverdeep's failure to provide the
Deliverables for any Product on a timely basis, Riverdeep shall reimburse
Distributor for Distributor's out-of-pocket losses, costs, and expenses incurred

third party licensors under any such Consent-Required Contracts; (vi) there is

the Intellectual Property Rights, or will violate any applicable laws, rules, or
regulations.
7.1.1 In this regard, Riverdeep hereby acknowledges and
agrees that Distributor shall be entitled to use and exploit in connection with

has cleared all rights to Distributor's use and exploitation of such materials.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Distributor at any
time shall have the right in its sole discretion to require that Riverdeep
provide to it evidence satisfactory to Distributor that all such rights to any
such materials have been cleared with all third parties, and upon receipt of
such request, Riverdeep shall promptly do so. In no event shall any such request

candidate for each Product shall (i) correspond to, and perform in all material
respects in accordance with, any relevant specifications, functional or other

event later than 15 days thereafter for any material bug attributable to
Riverdeep's product coding and 30 days for all other Products, it being
understood that any such patch or fix so provided shall be deemed to cure
Riverdeep's breach of the foregoing representation so long as such patch or fix,
taken together with the Product itself, would not have resulted in a breach of
such representation, and other than for any out-of-pocket losses, costs, or
expenses incurred or owed by Distributor as a result of such breach. Distributor

existence thereof and of any other impairment event in a commercially reasonable
period of time thereafter.

8.3 The indemnifications provided for herein are conditioned upon
the indemnified party's furnishing the indemnifying party with prompt written
notice of any such claim or suit and upon
11
reasonable cooperation in defense of such claim or suit. In such event, the

WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS OR OTHER ECONOMIC
LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER,
ARISING UNDER CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED FOR ELSEWHERE IN THIS
AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT EITHER PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION
OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO THE EXTENT THAT A THIRD PARTY CLAIMS ANY SUCH DAMAGES
AGAINST A PARTY HEREUNDER.
8.5 Insurance. Distributor shall obtain, at its own expense,
general liability, including product liability, insurance providing adequate
protection for Riverdeep in amounts no less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) for bodily injury to any person per any one occurrence and One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for property damage per any one

shall submit to Riverdeep fully paid policies or certificates of insurance
naming Riverdeep as an additional insured party and, providing that coverage
shall extend to all claims or suits arising out of the use of the Products
manufactured or sold under this Agreement, and further requiring that the
insurer shall not terminate or materially modify such without written notice to
Riverdeep at least twenty (20) days in advance thereof.
9. TERM OF AGREEMENT.
9.1 This Agreement shall commence on the Commencement Date and
shall continue in effect for a period of one (1) year thereafter(the "TERM"), as
the same may be extended for any extended recoupment period under Section 4
hereof.
10. TERMINATION.
10.1 Termination For Cause. Either party may terminate this
Agreement, without further notice, for cause as follows:
10.1.1 Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to the other party in the event that proceedings in
bankruptcy or insolvency are instituted by or against the other party, or a
receiver is appointed, or if any substantial part of the assets of the other
party is the object of attachment, sequestration or other type of comparable
proceeding, and such proceeding is not vacated or terminated within sixty (60)
days after its commencement or institution.
10.1.2 Either party may terminate this Agreement if the
other party commits a material breach of any of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days (or such shorter
period as may be expressly provided for in such applicable term or provision)
after receipt of written notice given. Distributor shall hold its affiliates,
third party manufacturers and authorized sublicensees to the same standards that
Distributor is held. If any of
12
Distributor's affiliates, third party manufacturers or authorized sublicensees
commits any activity which would be a breach of the Agreement by Distributor if
Distributor had committed such activity, Distributor shall within three business
days following notice thereof take commercially reasonable efforts to terminate
such activity. Thereafter, if the activity is not terminated within the earlier
of thirty (30) days or the period allowed for cure, pursuant to the applicable
agreement with such third party manufacturer or sublicensee, Distributor shall
terminate the contractual relationship with such third party.
10.2 Rights Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement,
by expiration of the Term or otherwise, all further rights and obligations of
the parties shall cease, except that the parties shall not be relieved of (i)
their respective obligations to pay any monies due or which become due as of or
subsequent to the date of termination, and (ii) any other respective obligations
under this Agreement which specifically survive or are to be performed after the
date of termination. Riverdeep shall provide written notice to the Channel that
Riverdeep or its new distributor will take responsibility for all returns, Sales
Discounts, and MDF from and after such expiration or sooner termination.
Distributor and any authorized sublicensees shall immediately cease all
manufacturing, selling, marketing, distributing, advertising and/or promoting of
the Products. Distributor shall not increase sales in the Channel prior to
expiration of the Agreement in a manner inconsistent with standard industry
practices and Distributor's inventory management practices during the Term. In
the event of expiration or termination for Riverdeep's breach, Distributor
shall, at Riverdeep's direction, destroy Products in Distributor's possession,
or transfer all Products in its possession to Riverdeep, [*]. Such Mediator
shall be advised at the time of engagement to invoice each party for 50% of fees
and costs. In the event of termination for Distributor's breach, Distributor
shall, at Riverdeep's direction, destroy Products in Distributor's possession,
or transfer Products in its possession to Riverdeep, provided that Riverdeep
shall reimburse Distributor the actual cost of goods plus shipping and handling
fees for all units transferred to Riverdeep. Upon termination or expiration of
the Agreement for Distributor's breach, Distributor's payment obligation for
earned and guaranteed royalties shall survive and shall be due and payable upon
the same terms and conditions as provided for herein subject to any obligation
under applicable law to mitigate damages suffered by virtue of Distributor's
breach.
10.3 Unforeseen Circumstances. No delay or failure by the parties
hereto in the performance of any obligation of this Agreement shall be deemed a
breach of this Agreement nor shall it create any liability, if the same shall
arise by reason of any cause beyond the reasonable control of the affected
party, including, but not limited to, labor disputes, strikes, wars, terrorism,
riots, insurrection, civil commotion, accident, shortage of materials or
equipment, government regulations, fire, flood, storm, or any other acts of God,
including defects and/or breakdowns of equipment and programming errors not
within the reasonable control of the affected party, provided that the party so
affected shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such cause
of nonperformance and shall continue performance hereunder as soon as
practicable. The foregoing shall not excuse the performance of any financial
obligations hereunder under any circumstance. In the event such cause occurs and
exceeds sixty (60) calendar days, the party not so affected may cancel this
Agreement upon written notice.
10.4 Bankruptcy. The parties hereby agree and intend that this
Agreement is an executory contract governed by Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code.
(a) In the event of Distributor's bankruptcy, the parties intend that
any royalties earned under this Agreement during the bankruptcy period be deemed
administrative claims under the Bankruptcy Code because the parties recognize
and agree that the bankruptcy estate's enjoyment of this Agreement will
* The material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential
treatment and the material has been filed separately with the Office of the
Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
13
(i) provide a material benefit to the bankruptcy estate during its
reorganization and (ii) deny Riverdeep the benefit of the exploitation of the
rights through alternate means during the bankruptcy reorganization.
(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that any delay in the decision of
trustee of the bankruptcy estate to assume or reject the Agreement (the
"Decision Period") materially ▇▇▇▇▇ Riverdeep by interfering with Riverdeep's
ability to alternatively exploit the rights granted under this Agreement during
a Decision Period of uncertain duration. The parties recognize that arranging
appropriate alternative exploitation would be a time consuming and expensive
process and that it is unreasonable for Riverdeep to endure a Decision Period of
extended uncertainty. Therefore, the parties agree that the Decision Period
shall not exceed sixty (60) days.
(c) Riverdeep, in its interest to safeguard its valuable interests
(including, without limitation, its intellectual property rights in the
Products), has relied on the particular skill and knowledge base of Distributor.
Therefore, the parties acknowledge and agree that in a bankruptcy context this
Agreement is a license of the type described by Section 365(c)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code and may not be assigned without the prior written consent of
Riverdeep.
10.5 Survival of Terms. Sections 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10.2, 10.5, 11 and
12 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
11. BOOKKEEPING OBLIGATIONS AND INSPECTION RIGHTS.
11.1 Distributor shall maintain true and complete books of account
containing an accurate record of all data necessary for the proper computation
of payments hereunder, and Riverdeep shall have the right, by a certified public
accountant appointed by it and reasonably approved by Distributor, to examine
such books at all reasonable times (but not more than once in each calendar year
and not during the first fifteen days of any quarter) for the purpose of
verifying the accuracy of the reports and computation rendered by Distributor.
Upon reasonable advance written notice (but in no event less than 15 days), such
examination shall be made during normal business hours at the principal place of
business of Distributor. If such examination reveals that reports furnished by
Distributor were inaccurate by more than five percent (5%) and that amounts in
excess of those paid to Riverdeep are due, the cost of such examination shall be
borne by Distributor, and Distributor shall pay the amount of any discrepancy to
Riverdeep, plus interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per year or part
thereof on any deficiencies.
11.2 Distributor will make commercially reasonable efforts to
facilitate Riverdeep's ability to enter and inspect all premises and facilities
(including, without limitation, storage and shipping facilities) of Distributor
and its manufacturer(s) and distributor(s), and its and their warehousers and/or
shippers, in order to ensure that the manufacture, packaging, labeling,
advertising and promotion and distribution of Products comply with Distributor's
obligations hereunder and all applicable laws. Distributor will make
commercially reasonable efforts to provide all information reasonably requested
by Riverdeep regarding the testing, manufacture, quality control, storage and
shipment of the Products.
11.3 Distributor shall, without cost or expense to itself,
cooperate with Riverdeep in connection with any audit of Riverdeep's books and
records by its third party licensors of the Products.
14

proving any actual damages sustained by Riverdeep.

EXHIBIT B
SCHEDULE OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TERMS
1. Intentionally Omitted.
2. Royalties and Payment Terms:
a) [Intentionally Omitted].
b) Earned Royalty. Riverdeep shall earn royalties for sales of Products
during the Sales Year as provided below, provided that the same shall not be
payable until Distribution has recouped from such amounts the corresponding
Guaranteed Royalty for such year.
[*]
"NET RECEIPTS" is defined as gross sales from the sale of
Products, less actual credits granted for returns, rebates,
product ▇▇▇▇-down expenses, and Sales Discounts. To the extent
gross sales or dilutions relate to Mixed Assortments or Mixed
Bundles, then Distributor may only apply such gross sales or
deduct dilutions in an amount proportional to the percentage
of Products in said Mixed Assortment or Mixed Bundle. With
each royalty statement, Distributor may take a reasonable
reserve for anticipated returns, [*]. With each monthly
statement, Distributor will liquidate each reserve held, and
pay to Riverdeep any royalties then due that are in excess of
the liquidated reserve. Distributor may not deduct: cash
discounts granted as terms of payment; promotional/new store
discounts; costs, taxes or duties incurred in manufacturing,
handling, shipping, importing, or selling. At Riverdeep's
request, Distributor shall review its customer credit status
with Riverdeep on a regular basis, but not more than once each
quarter.
Distributor, in consultation with Riverdeep, will develop and
designate wholesale pricing strategies, pricing envelopes, and
lifecycle management pricing guidelines around which
Distributor may operate on a day-to-day basis independent of
Riverdeep consultation; provided however, deviations from
current pricing models outside of these parameters will
require that Distributor consult with Riverdeep and
Distributor will develop and designate any such pricing
strategies, pricing envelopes, and lifecycle management
pricing guidelines that so deviate from the current models.
Distributor shall have full discretion with respect to the
price it charges its retail customers. At such time as a
Product reaches late-stage "closeout" status, Distributor
shall request Riverdeep's consent to closeout the Product
inventory through one or more closeout distributors. If
Riverdeep shall fail to grant such consent within fifteen (15)
days thereafter, then Riverdeep shall be required to purchase
such inventory for an amount equal to Distributor's cost of
goods therefor.
* The material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential
treatment and the material has been filed separately with the Office of the
Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
29
c) [Intentionally Omitted.]
d) Reporting and Payment. Detailed reporting and payment of earned
royalties shall be provided no later than twenty-one (21) days following the end
of each calendar month. Royalty reports shall contain such information as is
included in a template report attached hereto as Exhibit G.
e) Late Charges. Any payments which are made to Riverdeep or
Distributor hereunder more than thirty (30) days after the due date therefor,
shall bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum from the date such payments are
due to the date of payment. Each party's right hereunder to interest on late
payments shall not preclude such party from exercising any of its other rights
or remedies pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise with regard to the other
party's failure to make timely remittances.
3. Marketing Plan And Reports: Distributor shall provide Riverdeep, within 90
days of the Commencement Date, with a retail forecast for each Product licensed
hereunder. In the event that Products are added to Exhibit A, Distributor shall
provide Riverdeep with a retail forecast for each such Product no less than
within a reasonable period of time prior to Riverdeep's planned ship date for
each such Product. For Riverdeep's review and approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, as to the first such plan, and consultation as to all
subsequent plans, Distributor will provide Riverdeep (a) with a sales and
marketing plan and forecast including such reasonably detailed information, on a
quarterly basis; (b) a ninety (90) day rolling retail forecast for each active
Product provided on a monthly basis; (c) on the first business day of each week
during the Term, Distributor will provide Riverdeep with a report detailing
gross shipments by Retailer for the previous week. Distributor will provide
Riverdeep with the following reports on a monthly basis within nine (9) business
days of the end of every month: SKU by reporting Retailer; EDI Sell-Through;
Product Returns authorized; and Inventory Report. Distributor will provide
Riverdeep with the following reports within thirty (30) business days of the end
of every month (concurrent with royalty reporting): SKU by Sublicensee (if any
approved); and Product units sold and/or distributed by Sublicensee (if any
approved).
Distributor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to market and sell the
Products and to promote the Products at industry trade shows specified by
Riverdeep and agreed to by Distributor, which agreement shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Distributor shall submit all marketing campaigns to
Riverdeep for review and approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Distributor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet all product
availability commitments made by Riverdeep (prior to the Commencement Date) to
retail accounts, including meeting replenishment orders for fixed plan-o-grams,
provided that Riverdeep shall have furnished Distributor with all deliverables
and information Distributor may require to do so on a timely basis.
Distributor will not discriminate against the Products in favor of Distributor's
other similar products.
Distributor shall not liquidate or deep-discount the Products, or otherwise
distribute in a manner that may reasonably be expected to reduce the good will
associated with or otherwise tarnish the Riverdeep brands. Products will only be
sold to Retailers, or to distributors for resale, shipment and/or distribution
to Retailers, who Distributor has a good faith belief will sell such Products in
the Territory and Channel to the public in the same general manner in which
merchandise of the same general description is customarily marketed, displayed
and sold. In the event Distributor learns that any Retailer is treating the
Products in a manner less favorably than similar merchandise, Distributor will
inform Riverdeep and will make commercially reasonable efforts to have the
problem corrected to Riverdeep's satisfaction. If
30
Riverdeep is not satisfied within a reasonable period then, upon written request
of Riverdeep, Distributor will discontinue future shipments to such Retailer and
will not provide such Retailer with Licensed Article(s) thereafter without
Approval.
4. Approvals. Distributor shall create and produce its own packaging, labels,
disc art, end-user documentation, marketing and promotional materials, all
subject to Riverdeep review, guidance, feedback and approval at the following
stages:
- Concept design
- Alpha package design, including copy
- Final mechanical.
A submission shall be approved or disapproved within ten (10) business days from
receipt of the materials except the final mechanical, which will be approved
within five (5) business days of receipt of materials. Approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. A submission shall in no instance be deemed
approved. If approval is not granted, Riverdeep shall identify the reasons for
disapproval and such corrective measures which, when taken, will result in
approval upon resubmission. Among other reasons, Riverdeep may reasonably
withhold approval in relation to the maintenance of brand and trade dress
consistency between versions, product lines, and in its other channels.
Distributor acknowledges that some of Riverdeep's licensors may have approval
rights regarding packaging, software development and their proprietary brands
and other names. Distributor shall reasonably cooperate with Riverdeep when
third-party licensor approval is required. Distributor shall provide archived
files of all approved materials, suitable for reproduction and in a form and
format specified by Riverdeep, within 10 days of Riverdeep's approval.
Neither Distributor (any permitted sublicensees) nor third party manufacturers
shall manufacture Products without Riverdeep's prior written approval of the
materials to be reproduced unless such materials have been furnished to it by
Riverdeep. Notwithstanding such approval, Distributor (any permitted
sublicensees), and third party manufacturers shall be responsible to include on
all Products and Packaging any third-party licensor's name, trademark, and logo,
and all applicable notices. Riverdeep's approval shall not relieve Distributor
of this obligation; provided however, Riverdeep's approval of any given
packaging shall be deemed to constitute Distributor's compliance with the
packaging requirements hereof.
5. Warehouse Inventory. Distributor shall purchase from Riverdeep all owned,
sellable on-hand inventory (including components), and work in process, of the
Products as of the Commencement Date, including consignment inventory in the
Channel, excluding however any genealogy-based or language-based inventory.
Riverdeep shall provide a list of all such inventory as of the Commencement
Date. Title shall transfer, with Distributor taking title, ownership and risk of
loss, as of the Commencement Date; provided however, that Riverdeep shall
nonetheless maintain insurance on such inventory in the same coverage as prior
the Commencement Date and shall name Distributor as an additional insured with
respect thereto, and upon any casualty with respect thereto, Riverdeep shall pay
any proceeds received in respect thereof to Distributor within ten (10) days of
receipt. Distributor shall pay Riverdeep, as the purchase price for such
inventory, Riverdeep's actual out-of-pocket cost of goods (such amount not to
exceed $3,500,000), and reasonable handling and storage costs for such inventory
based on a written breakdown of rates to be provided to Distributor, and
shipping charges to be reasonably agreed upon between the parties. Payment for
cost of goods shall be payable within 60 days after the sale of such inventory
by Distributor, and payment for such handling, shipping and storage costs to be
made net 30 of invoice. Distributor will use good faith efforts to sell such
inventory.
31
6. Channel Inventory. From and after the Commencement Date, all amounts received
by Riverdeep on account of Product distributed into the Channel shall be payable
to Distributor, and to the extent any such funds are received by Riverdeep, the
same shall be reported and paid thereto within fifteen (15) days of receipt
thereof. During the Term, Distributor shall: (a) accept returns of Channel
Inventory; and (b) provide Distributor's retail accounts with the Channel
Inventory Credits. Distributor shall be entitled to credit against the next
succeeding installment of the Guaranteed Royalty (and subsequent installments
thereof until such credit has been fully applied) in the amount of Distributor's
cost (1) for Channel Inventory Credits provided by Distributor to its Retailers
during the Term and (2) for credits issued for the return of Channel Inventory
to Distributor but not to exceed 16% of the aggregate wholesale value of the
Channel Inventory as of the Commencement Date, unless such returns are the
function of the natural events of a product's lifecycle. The parties shall
mutually cooperate as to the review and issuance of Channel Inventory Credits
and return authorizations for the ninety day period following the Commencement
Date.
"Channel Inventory" shall mean inventory of the Products in the Channel and the
Territory as of the Commencement Date that was not sold by Distributor.
"Channel Inventory Activities" shall mean the marketing development funds,
co-operative advertising, Sales Discounts (including price protection), and
stock-balancing for the Channel Inventory.
"Channel Inventory Credits" shall mean the credits issued by Distributor to its
retail customers for Channel Inventory Activities to which Riverdeep committed
in writing, and for which the Retailer met its obligations, both prior to the
Commencement Date.
