causes beyond its reasonable control such as acts of God, fire, theft,
war, riot, embargoes or acts of civil or military authorities. If Services
are to be delayed by such contingencies, Supplier shall immediately notify

notify Buyer if unable to perform any scheduled Services and shall state
the reasons.
8. WARRANTY
Norris shall take all necessary steps so that the Development is designed
to comply with the safety standards established by UL at the time of
delivery of the Demo units. However, Norris shall not obtain UL approval
of the Demo units which are not intended for sale.
Norris warrants that the title to the Norris portion of the Development,
when conveyed to Intel, is good and free from any security interest or
encumbrance except as provided in Addendum C or as otherwise agreed upon
in writing, and that the Development and Demo units meet the requirements
of the PCD. The Demo units shall have no extended warranty other than to
perform per the PCD at delivery.
ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING,
EXCEPT AS TO TITLE, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED OR ANY
AFFIRMATION OF FACT OR REPRESENTATION EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN WITH
RESPECT TO THE DEMO UNITS OR ANY PRODUCTION UNITS BASED ON THE
DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL
NORRIS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
THE FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE INTEL'S SOLE RIGHT AS REMEDY UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS AND FUTURE PRODUCTS BASED ON THE
REFERENCE DESIGN.

Development Design as is customary, if any is required.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY
A. During the course of this Agreement, either party may have or may be
provided access to the other's confidential information and materials.
Additionally, Supplier may be engaged to develop new information for
Buyer, or may develop such information during the performance of Services,
which information will become, upon creation, Buyer's confidential
information unless otherwise agreed in writing. Provided information and
materials are marked in a manner reasonably intended to make the recipient
aware, or the recipient is sent written notice within thirty (30) days of
disclosure, that the information or materials are "Confidential", each
party agrees to maintain such information in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the CNDA referenced on the signature page
3
<PAGE> 5
of this Agreement and any other applicable separate nondisclosure
agreement between Buyer and Supplier. At a minimum each party agrees to
maintain such information in confidence and limit disclosure on a need to
know basis, to take all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized
disclosure or use, and to treat such information as it treats it's own
information of a similar nature for a period of three (3) years from the
date of disclosure. Supplier's employees who access Buyer's facilities may
be required to sign a separate access agreement prior to admittance to
Buyer's facilities. Furthermore, Supplier will furnish a copy of Addendum
D to each of its employees and subcontractors assigned to or contracted
for Buyer work and will take reasonable steps to assure Buyer that all
such have read and understood Addendum D. Supplier shall not use any of
the confidential information created for Buyer other than for Buyer.
B. Within no more than one week following the effective of this agreement,
the parties hereto shall issue a press release announcing the relationship
between Intel and Norris. The parties shall mutually agree upon the
content of such press release and of all subsequent announcements related
to this Agreement, as well as the contents and timing of each press
conference and similar function related thereto. Each such press release,
press conference or similar activity shall be subject to the consent of
each of the parties hereto. Norris intends to issue a single press release
about the existence of this Agreement as outlined in the "press release
draft" attached to this Agreement as Addendum G and Intel hereby
authorizes its release. The parties agree that neither will disclose the
existence of this Agreement, nor any of its details or the existence of
the relationship created by this Agreement, to any third party without the
specific, written consent of the other. If disclosure of this Agreement or
any of the terms hereof is required by applicable law, rule or regulation,
or is compelled by a court or governmental agency, authority or body: (i)
the parties shall use all legitimate and legal means available to minimize
the disclosure to third parties of the content of the Agreement, including
without limitation seeking a confidential treatment request or protective
order; (ii) the disclosing party shall inform the other party at least ten
(10) business days in advance of the disclosure; and (iii) the disclosing
party shall give the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and
comment upon the disclosure, and any request for confidential treatment or
a protective order pertaining thereto, prior to making such disclosure.
The parties may disclose this Agreement in confidence to their respective
legal counsel, accountants, bankers and financing sources as necessary in
connection with obtaining Services from such third parties. The
obligations stated in this section shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement. Neither party may use the other party's
name or trademarks in advertisements, brochures, banners, letterhead,
business cards, reference lists or similar advertisements without the
other's written consent Norris may make such regulatory disclosures as
reasonably required concerning this Agreement and its progress.

from Supplier's actions in connection with: (i) providing such hazardous
materials to Buyer; and/or (ii) the use of such hazardous materials in

indemnities otherwise assumed by Supplier pursuant to this Agreement,
Supplier shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense, with companies
acceptable to Buyer, Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability
Insurance with limits of liability not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence
and including liability coverage for bodily injury or property damage (1)
assumed in a contract or agreement pertaining to Supplier's business and
(2) arising out of Supplier's product, Services or work. Supplier's
insurance shall be primary, and any applicable insurance maintained by

Buyer as additional insured.
B. Supplier shall also maintain statutory Workers' Compensation coverage,

law, and Employers' Liability Insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per

of Transportation regulations applicable to hazardous materials and all
employment and labor laws governing Supplier's personnel providing
Services to Buyer.

13. INDEMNIFICATION
Norris shall save Intel, its agents and customers, harmless from all
costs, loss, damage and liability, except consequential damages, which may
be incurred on account of the infringement of any United States patent,
copyright, or misappropriation of a trade secret arising out of the sale
or use of products procured under this Agreement by Intel to the extent of
the Norris portion of the Development and subject to Intel providing the
licenses specified in Addendum A, and Norris shall, at its own expense,
defend all claims, suits or actions of infringement of patents, against
Intel, Intel's agents or customers, provided Norris is promptly notified
of such claims, suits and actions, given all evidence in Intel's
possession, reasonable assistance in defense of the claim, at Norris'
expense, sole control of the defense thereof and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise. In the event of such a charge of infringement,
Norris' obligation under this Agreement shall be fulfilled if Norris:

to continue to use or sell the infringing product; or,
B. Refunds the purchase price paid to Norris by Intel for the
development hereof; or,
C. Replaces or modifies the infringing portion of the Development
Design so as to be substantially equal but non-infringing.

upon the use of the Development Design in a manner for which
the Reference Design was not designed. The above states the
entire liability of Norris with respect to infringement of
patents.
14. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
In performing Services under this Agreement, Supplier is an independent
contractor and its personnel and other representatives shall not act as
nor be agents or employees of Buyer. As an independent contractor,
Supplier will be solely responsible for determining the means and methods
for performing the required Services. Supplier shall have complete charge
and responsibility for personnel employed by Supplier; however, Buyer
reserves the right to instruct Supplier to remove from Buyer's premises
immediately any of Supplier's personnel who is in breach of Section 12 of
this Agreement. Such removal shall not relieve Supplier's obligation to
provide Services under this Agreement.
15. NEW DEVELOPMENTS
It is understood and agreed between the parties that the Development may
utilize certain proprietary core technology of Norris ("Norris
Technology") some of which is subject to pending patent applications.
Norris reserves the ownership and right to use the Norris Technology for
its own products and for products developed for other Norris customers.
Nothing herein shall impair such rights, title or interest of Norris to
the Norris Technology.
Norris acknowledges that all right, title and interest in and to the
Development, upon completion of development and subject to the payments
outlined herein, shall be the sole property of Intel, subject to Addendum
C. Norris agrees to assign to Intel the Development Design and take other
steps necessary or proper to assist Intel in perfecting its ownership in
the Development Design including obtaining patent or other protection. Use
of Norris technology shall require a license from Norris as described in
Addendum C.
Norris shall have the nonexclusive right to use the Development Design for
its own products, to develop and manufacture products using the
Development for others, or to market the Development Design to its
customers in accordance with terms specified by Intel from time to time,
but no less favorable than other comparable
5
<PAGE> 7
Development/Reference Design licensees of Intel or any other agents,
distributors, master licensees or marketers of the Development.
Notwithstanding, no license is granted by this Agreement to Norris for any
Intel intellectual property rights other than the rights in the
intellectual property rights which arise from the work performed by Norris
under this Agreement in the Development Design.
Norris is in the business of developing products and software for OEM
customers and nothing in this agreement shall preclude Norris from
developing digital recorders and other products for present or future
customers. However, in consideration of the payments outlined herein,
Norris agrees it will not develop a portable recorder for any other
customer featuring a combination of *************************************
for a period of three (3) years from the date hereof, without either (a)
the written permission of Intel or (b) having such customer license the
Development, in whole or in part.
16. MERGER, MODIFICATION, WAIVER, AND REMEDIES
A. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between Buyer and
Supplier with respect to the subject matter hereof and merges and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, dealings and
negotiations. No modification, alteration or amendment shall be effective
unless made in writing, dated and signed by duly authorized
representatives of both parties.
B. No waiver of any breach hereof shall be held to be a waiver of any other
or subsequent breach.
C. Buyer's rights and remedies stated in this Agreement are in addition to
any other rights and remedies provided by law or in equity.
D. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such determination
shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions unless Buyer
determines in its discretion that the court's determination causes this
Agreement to fail in any of its essential purposes.
17. ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement is for personal Services and neither party may assign or
factor any rights in nor delegate any obligations under this Agreement or
any portion thereof without the written consent of the other provided,
however, an assignment by one party to a wholly or majority owned
subsidiary or to a successor company of that party shall be authorized.
The parties agree Buyer may cancel this Agreement for cause should
Supplier attempt to make an unauthorized assignment of any right or
obligation arising hereunder.
18. HEADINGS
The headings provided in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall
not be used in interpreting or construing this Agreement.
19. APPLICABLE LAW
This Agreement is to be construed and interpreted according to the laws of
the State where Services are provided.
20. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, Buyer and
Supplier specifically agree that failure to perform certain obligations
undertaken in connection with this Agreement would cause irreparable
damage, and that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy in
such event. The parties further agree that Supplier's failure to complete
performance of the Services called for in this Agreement or on any project
Released under this Agreement or to deliver or effect delivery of Services
and/or materials as contracted are such certain obligations. Accordingly,
it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedy to which the
non-breaching party may be entitled, at law or in equity, the
non-breaching party shall be entitled to an order of specific performance
to compel performance of such obligations in any action instituted in any
court of the United States or any state thereof having subject matter
jurisdiction.

ADDENDUM D
PROTECTION OF INTEL'S INFORMATION ASSETS
Supplier agrees to safeguard Intel's classified (i.e., Intel Confidential, Intel
Secret, Intel Restricted Secret and Intel Top Secret) and proprietary
information set out in the body of the parties' Agreement and relevant
Unescorted Access Application forms for badges. Supplier also agrees to use and
apply Intel's information protection methods stated below in this Addendum in
the performance of Supplier's work. Supplier agrees that this performance
standard applies to all Intel classified and proprietary information, regardless
of the medium (Intel's or Supplier's) in or on which it is retained or
communicated and to software that is licensed by Intel for its internal use.
Supplier is not automatically granted access to Intel classified and proprietary
information, networks or software. However, authorization to use or access Intel
information, software or telecommunications may be granted by the Intel
information owner if access is necessary and directly related to Supplier's
scope of work or duties. Unless specifically authorized, Supplier may not use or
access Intel classified or proprietary information that may be happened upon or
inadvertently discovered while performing work under this Agreement. Neither may
a Supplier or Supplier's employee control an Intranet web site at Intel.
Supplier shall not modify Intel classified or proprietary information, software,
hardware, or telecommunications without the explicit permission of the Intel
employee responsible for the resource, with the exception of contract-related
requirements or resources that allow for individual customization (e.g.,
Microsoft Windows user features). The Supplier's employees, agents, or
subcontractors may not disclose Intel classified or proprietary information to
their co-workers, except for disclosure to those similarly bound to protect
Intel's intellectual property with a need to know to fulfill this Agreement.
INTEL INFORMATION PROTECTION METHODS
This section outlines the Intel's minimum requirements for protection methods
for all Intel classified or proprietary information and software that the
Supplier's personnel may come in contact with. Intel recognizes that the correct
and proper protection of its information rests with its employees and Suppliers
who have been authorized access. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS WILL
PROVIDE GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY INTEL. Periodic
updates to these protection methods can be found on Intel's internal web at:
URL HTTP://WWW-INFOSEC.FM.INTEL.COM/POLICIES/
Upon reaching the above web site, refer to Policies for Employees and Procedures
for Employees. These protection methods may also be obtained through your
purchasing representative.
For further information or questions, contact your Intel management sponsor.

ADDENDUM "E"
ALCOHOL AND DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE DIRECTIVE
Intel is committed to fulfilling its legal and ethical responsibility to
maintain a safe and efficient working environment on Intel premises. Supplier's
drug and alcohol program shall be at least as stringent as Intel's. This means
that at a minimum: (i) all Supplier's employees ("Employees") assigned to Intel
premises shall pass a screen test (urine analysis) for drugs and alcohol within
seventy-two (72) hours of assignment at Intel; and (ii) Supplier shall perform
immediate drug and alcohol testing of any Employee so assigned if Supplier
("Employer") has a reasonable suspicion of drug or alcohol impairment.
"Reasonable suspicion" is present when an observation of a change in an
Employee's behavior or conduct indicates a noticeable performance impairment to
the observer.
When Intel has a reasonable suspicion that an Employee is under the influence of
alcohol or drugs in violation of Intel's standards, Intel may require Supplier
to perform drug and/or alcohol testing of its Employee or remove the Employee
from Intel premises.
If, after seventy-two (72) hours subsequent to assignment to Intel premises and
after a favorable test result has been received, an Employee voluntarily
requests professional counseling and rehabilitation before job performance is
affected or continued assignment to Intel is at risk, Intel will allow continued
access to its premises by such Employee only for so long as he/she abides by the
rehabilitation program of his/her Employer.
However, if an Employee fails to advise his/her Employer of a drug or alcohol
dependency and fails to seek his/her Employer's approval of a professional
counseling and rehabilitation program and Intel requested testing shows that the
tested Employee is under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, that
Employee will be denied access to Intel premises and Intel will require return
of that Employee's security badge immediately. In addition, a corporate-wide
"no-access" notation will be placed in the Intel corporate security database and
no Application for Waiver will be considered by Intel.
Also, Intel may, at its option, exercise its right to audit Supplier's personnel
records related to compliance with Intel's Drug and Alcohol standard to ensure
that federally certified laboratories are being used and appropriate procedures
are adhered to.
