Avid Sports. The parties acknowledge that Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement contemplates the assignment by Intel to Convera of the Intel Internet Services Avid Sports Development Agreement, dated as of January 2000, between Intel and Avid Sports, Inc. (the "Sports Agreement") and the assignment by Intel to Convera of that portion of warrants to purchase shares of Avid Sports, Inc. that is unvested as of the Effective Time. The parties further acknowledge that Xstream Sports, Inc. ("Xstream") is the successor in interest to Avid Sports, Inc., and that Intel's warrant for Avid Sports, Inc., has been converted into a warrant to purchase shares of the capital stock of Xstream (the "Xstream Warrant"). The parties further acknowledge that Intel is currently negotiating with Xstream to determine the amount of revenues due from Xstream to Intel under the Sports Agreement and that, as a result of such determination, it is contemplated that Intel will cancel such indebtedness as consideration for a partial exercise of the warrant and the issuance of shares of capital stock of Xstream (the "Xstream Shares," and, collectively with the Xstream Warrant, the "Xstream Equity"). The parties agree that, at the Effective Time, Intel will assign neither the Sports Agreement nor the Sports Equity to Convera. Instead, Intel will continue to negotiate with Xstream, and Convera hereby expressly authorizes Intel to so negotiate, to determine the amount of revenues due from Xstream to Intel and to determine the treatment of the Sports Equity, such treatment to, as soon as reasonably practicable, afford Convera with the economic benefits of the Sports Agreement and the Sports Equity as contemplated by the Agreement. The parties further agree that, notwithstanding the authorization by Convera of Intel to negotiate with Xstream, the provisions of Section 5.2 of the Agreement will continue to apply to Intel's negotiations and conduct with Xstream including Convera's right to consent to the final terms of the revised agreements with Xstream prior to the execution of any such agreements. Except as specifically set forth herein, nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed to be a waiver of any of Convera's right to the Sports Agreement or the Sports Equity as contemplated by the Agreement. 4. Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation. The Form of Convera Certificate of Incorporation attached to the Agreement as Exhibit I is amended to read in its entirety as provided in Exhibit A attached hereto. 5. General. (a) This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. (b) THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OR CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF OR OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 6 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed and delivered as of the date first set forth above.
