“In the event that IGT and the Company do not execute definitive agreements concerning the Settlement by September 10, 2008, then on October 30, 2008 (a) the Company will issue to IGT 750,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share, such shares to be duly authorized and validly issued and evidenced by a duly and validly executed share certificate delivered to IGT on such date, and (b) IGT will have the rights set forth below. If at any time after September 10, 2008, the Company determines to take any action to license or otherwise dispose of any interest in any or all patents owned or controlled by the Company that have one or more claims covering the Company’s PlayerVision-related hardware and firmware (“PVT”) based on the Company’s currently existing technology and patent pool, the Company will first undertake good faith negotiations to enter into an exclusive license with IGT or its designated affiliate on commercially reasonable terms.”
