WHEREAS

(A)                              Based on an agreement of February 1, 1991, as amended by the amendment of January 3, 1992, the Transferors have been conducting joint business in the form of an unincorporated partnership known as ALWIL Software (the “Association”);

(whereas the Combined Trademark and the Word Trademark are hereinafter also collectively referred to as “Czech Trademarks”)

(F)                                 The Parties wish to procure the transfer of the Czech Trademarks to the Transferee.

(G)                                Acting in their capacity as members of the Association, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acquired from Avira GmbH (formerly H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH), based on their agreement of July 27, 2006, the ownership title to the German national word trademark “AVAST”.  The German national word trademark “AVAST” is registered for certain products and services in Classes 9 and 42 of the Nice Classification in the register kept by the German Patent- und Markenamt under Reg. No. 30092783; a current extract from the register at the German Patent- und Markenamt is attached hereto as part of Schedule 1 (“German Trademark”);

(H)                               The Parties wish to procure the transfer of the German Trademark to the Transferee.

No. 839439, with a priority right as of June 22, 2004; a current extract from the WIPO register is attached hereto as part of Schedule 1 (the “International Trademark”);

(whereas the Czech Trademarks, the German Trademark, and the International Trademark are hereinafter also collectively referred to as the “Trademarks”)

(J)                                   Acting in their capacity as members of the Association, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ entered into an agreement on the transfer of rights to a trademark with the Transferee on June 10, 2010 (the “Transfer Agreement”), the subject matter of which was the transfer of the International Trademark to the Transferee.  Based on the Transfer Agreement and the pertinent filed application, the Transferee was entered by the WIPO as the owner of the International Trademark;

(K)                               The Parties are concerned that the Transfer Agreement may be invalid, with a view to Section 196a of the Czech Commercial Code (Act No. 513/1991 Coll., as amended);

(L)                                 The Parties’ shared interest is in ensuring that the Transferee becomes the uncontested owner of the International Trademark, i.e. in reenacting the transfer of the International Trademark to the Transferee for the event that their concerns are shown to be justified in that the Transfer Agreement was in fact not valid.

(M)                            Acting in his capacity as a member of the Association and by mutual accord with ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acquired the internet domain name ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇ or, as it were, the right to use the same.  The domain name registrar is IGNUM s.r.o., Identification No. (“IČ”): 26159708; an extract from the CZ.NIC domain name register is attached hereto as part of Schedule 2 (the “Czech Domain”).

(P)                                 In their capacity as members of the Association and based on an oral agreement of June 10, 2010 (the “Oral Agreement”), the Transferors transferred the International Domain to the Transferee.  Based on the Oral Agreement and the pertinent filed registration, the Transferee was entered by the registrar NETWORK SOLUTIONS LLC as the title holder with respect to the International Domain.

(Q)                               The Parties are concerned that the Oral Agreement may be invalid, with a view to Section 196a of the Czech Commercial Code (Act No. 513/1991 Coll., as amended);

(R)                                The Parties’ shared interest is in ensuring that the Transferee becomes the uncontested title holder with respect to the International Domain, i.e. in reenacting the transfer of the International Domain to the Transferee for the event that their concerns are shown to be justified in that the Oral Agreement was in fact not valid;

(S)                                 The Transferors are shareholders of the sole shareholder of the Transferee and members of the Board of Directors of the Transferee, and the transfer of the Domains and of the Trademarks from the Transferors to the Transferee is therefore subject to the provisions of Section 196a (3) of the Czech Commercial Code (Act No. 513/1991 Coll., as amended).

(T)                                The Parties have asked the Municipal Court in Prague to appoint an expert institution, i.e. EQUITA Consulting s.r.o., Identification No. (“IČ”): 257 61 421, with its registered office at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇/▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ - ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, entered in the Commercial Register kept by the Prague Municipal Court in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, and in the first section of the list of qualified expert institutions in the field of economics for appraising, inter alia, intangible assets, property and industrial rights, and know-how as per Decision 91/2008-OD-ZN/11 of the Czech Ministry of Justice of July 23, 2008 (the “Expert”), as the expert for the purpose of compiling an expert opinion in matters of an appraisal of the Domains and Trademarks.

(U)                               As per its Resolution 2 Nc 5203/2010-12 of September 29, 2010, which became final and non-appealable as of October 5, 2010, the Prague Municipal Court appointed the Expert for the purpose of compiling an expert opinion in matters of an appraisal of the Domains, the Czech Trademarks, and the International Trademarks.  A copy of the said resolution is attached hereto as part of Schedule 3.

(W)                           On November 29, 2010, the Expert compiled Expert Appraisal No. P30726/10 (the “Expert Appraisal”) for the purposes of appraising the Domains and the Trademarks. A copy of the Expert Appraisal is attached hereto as Schedule 4.

(X)                               The Expert determined the value of the Domains and of the Trademarks as follows: the Combined Trademark is worth CZK 77,000.00 (seventy seven

thousand Czech crowns), the Word Trademark is worth CZK 77,000.00 (seventy-seven thousand Czech crowns), the German Trademark is worth CZK 1,020,000.00 (one million twenty thousand Czech crowns), the International Trademark is worth CZK 25,868,000.00 (twenty five million eight hundred and sixty-eight thousand Czech crowns), the Czech Domain is worth CZK 155,000.00 (one hundred and fifty-five thousand Czech crowns), and the International Domain is worth CZK 29,360,000.00 (twenty nine million three hundred and sixty thousand Czech crowns).
