3. 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.
