EXCLUSIVITY AND PLATFORMS

Delivery of STP Pen and STP Reference Design. Anoto shall have no obligations or responsibilities for delivering or supporting the STP Pen or STP Reference Design. In the event that Anoto develops an STP Pen and/or STP Reference Design and LeapFrog elects to launch an STP Pen based on the STP Reference Design, LeapFrog and Anoto will negotiate in good faith mutually agreeable delivery milestones and payment schedule for the STP Pen and STP Reference Design that meet LeapFrog’s target launch date. The Parties agree that the royalty rates set forth in this Amendment No. 5 and a [*] license fee will apply to STP Pens and that neither Party will attempt to renegotiate such rates or license fee or other terms of this Amendment No. 5 or the TLA. NRE fees for the development of the STP Pen and /or STP Reference design will be determined based on respective Party’s responsibility for the development and the work to be carried out.

2.	Improvements to STP; SDK and Right to Sublicense to Developers.

Subsections (a) through (d) and (f) and (g) are subject to Section II. 1 above.

(a)

LeapFrog’s licenses under this Amendment No. 5 and the TLA with respect to the STP Pen will include, without additional payment, any Improvements to the STP Reference Design (such as Improvements to the SDK for STP Pen applications, Improvements to the operating system (with the exception of creating an industry standard OS), Improvements to Anoto pattern recognition,

-5-

mechanical Improvements to the optical module (excluding the DotPos chip), Improvements to high volume offset printing and Improvements to the microphone technology and to the industrialization of the display) (collectively “Reference Design Improvements”). Reference Design Improvements do not include (i) any Intellectual Property Rights or source code licensed to Anoto from a third party that bears a per unit royalty or flat fee, (ii) any advancements to printing other than high volume offset printing, (iii) the creation of an industry standard OS, and (iv) Reference Design Improvements that are integrated into a new version of the Core Chips at the silicon level (each new version of the Core Chips is referred to as a “Core Chip Improvement”). LeapFrog will have the right to receive a license to a Core Chip Improvement for fees to be separately determined, but no greater than that paid by any other Anoto customer. “Core Chips” means the DotPos chip, digital system chip and separate analog signal chip that form the core processing engine of the STP Pen. Anoto will permit its chip suppliers (currently [*] in the case of the DotPos chip) to supply LeapFrog any version of the Core Chips that is used in a pen that LeapFrog is shipping, even if such version of the Core Chips is not being used in STP Pens or other Anoto pens, provided that LeapFrog acknowledges that Anoto cannot require its suppliers to continue to manufacture such chips if the supplier will not accept orders from LeapFrog in the volumes requested.

(b)

For third party technology that is incorporated into the STP Reference Design that bears a per unit royalty, Anoto’s contracts with such third parties shall, if possible using reasonable and customary business efforts, provide that LeapFrog will have the right to distribute such third party technology in STP Pens at the same per unit royalty rate that Anoto pays for such third party technology. However, LeapFrog reserves the right to negotiate its own royalty rate with such third parties.

(c)

Anoto may from time to time add new features to the STP that are not Reference Design Improvements or Core Chip Improvements, such as [*] (each, a “New Module”). LeapFrog will have the right to receive a license to a New Module for fees no greater than that paid by any other Anoto customer. LeapFrog is not required to purchase a New Module even if the New Module is integrated into Core Chips that are used in LeapFrog’s implementation of the STP Pen, in which case LeapFrog will not make use of such New Modules in the Core Chips.

(d)

Anoto will make all Reference Design Improvements, Core Chip Improvements and New Modules available to LeapFrog at the beta phase and again upon commercial release, but in no event later than when Anoto provides such functionality to any other company or its internal content developers.

(e)

The pre-existing provisions of the TLA with respect to Improvements, Updates and Upgrades shall continue to apply to FLY 1.0 Pens and FLY 2.0 Pens, provided, however that LeapFrog shall have right to include Improvements to Anoto pattern recognition, mechanical Improvements to the optical module (excluding the DotPos chip) and Improvements to high volume offset printing in Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices and AF Devices without additional fees.

-6-

LeapFrog will also have the right to include new versions of DotPos chip for use in Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices and AF Devices at a price to be determined, but no greater than that paid by any other Anoto customer. LeapFrog will not be required to pay more than once for each new version of the DotPos chip (e.g., if LeapFrog pays to include a new version of the DotPos chip in an STP Pen, then LeapFrog does not have to pay an additional fee to include the same version of the DotPos chip in a FLY 1.0 Pen).

(f)

Should LeapFrog OEM an STP Pen from Anoto, the technology delivered by Anoto for the STP Pen, including all functionality within the PRD, will include all third party royalties (such as royalties for handwriting recognition) and LeapFrog shall not be responsible for paying any third party royalties.

(g)

Subject to Section 1.19 (a) and 11.6, Anoto grants LeapFrog a non-exclusive license under Anoto’s Intellectual Property Rights to (i) use the STP Pen software development kit (SDK) to create LeapFrog Content and (ii) distribute LeapFrog Content within the Permitted Field during the term of the TLA. LeapFrog may sublicense the object code version of the SDK to its contractors and third party publishers for purpose of creating LeapFrog Content within the Permitted Field during the term of the TLA.

Support. Subject to Section II.1, LeapFrog will have support from Anoto and the right to create specific features for its implementation of the STP, provided that LeapFrog does not break compatibility with the STP (i.e., LeapFrog’s STP Pen will support a base set of pen functionality as defined in the STP compatibility specification that the parties will mutually agree upon). Independent of Section II.1, all source code for Anoto Functionality for use with FLY 2.0 Pens as described in Section 1.8 of this Amendment No. 5 including SDK, operating system and any other source code that LeapFrog requires to add specific features to meet LeapFrog’s product requirements, excluding any and all source code for Anoto’s dot pattern recognition software, will be delivered to LeapFrog upon LeapFrog’s request, subject to the terms of the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement dated December 1, 2005 between the Parties. Such Mutual NDA must be in effect or renewed for Anoto to provide source code and each party agrees to renew such Mutual NDA, without modification of any terms or conditions, at the request of the other party. LeapFrog does not have the right to sublicense or provide any Anoto source code to any third party and may only sublicense object code as expressly provided under the TLA or this Amendment No. 5.

4.	In Section 2.1(a)(b) and (c) and Section 2.2(a) of the TLA, the phrase “A worldwide, exclusive license” is deleted and replaced with the phrase “An exclusive license in the Exclusive Markets.”

5.	Earned Exclusivity.

Exclusive Markets within the Consumer Market will be lost on a country by country basis for AF Devices, excluding Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices, (i) in those Exclusive Markets other than [*] where LeapFrog does not Launch a Fly 2.0 Pen or STP Pen by [*] and (ii) in [*] if LeapFrog does not meet its Launch requirements in Section I.10 of this Amendment No. 5. For example, should LeapFrog fail to Launch a FLY 1.0 Pen or FLY 2.0 Pen in [*] by [*] it loses exclusivity as to Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices in [*] but may regain exclusivity for AF Devices in [*] if it Launches a FLY 2.0 or STP Pen in [*] by [*] Similarly, if LeapFrog Launches a FLY 1.0 Pen in [*] by [*] but fails to launch a FLY 2.0 or STP Pen in [*] by [*], LeapFrog would lose exclusivity for AF Devices but would retain exclusivity for Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices in [*].

School Market. Exclusivity for AF Devices in the School Market will be lost if LeapFrog does not launch an STP Pen, FLY 2.0 Pen or FLY 1.0 Pen in the U.S. School Market by [*]. Launch in the case of the School Market means the commercial availability of an STP Pen, FLY 2.0 Pen or FLY 1.0 Pen to the U.S. School Market by [*] and the sale by LeapFrog of the following cumulative units of AF Devices and Stand Alone (Self- Contained) Devices: [*] by [*], [*] by [*], and [*] by [*]. For the avoidance of doubt, the sale of AF Devices or Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices by LeapFrog to a distributor or publisher that sells to the School Market (such as [*]) will be considered a sale to the School Market.

[*] The parties agree that [*] shall be the channel in [*] for Anoto Dot Pattern, the internet portal and tools for AF Devices that provide real time transmission of the AF Device’s detected position on a dot enabled surface to another device, provided that [*] will make its internet portal and tools available in a timely manner and on fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms.

Earned Extension of Exclusivity Through [*]. The Exclusive Term for the Exclusive Markets for AF Devices and Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices shall be extended until [*] if revenue paid (including royalties that are deducted against Royalty Advances) to Anoto from the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date through [*] is greater than [*]. In the event that there is a revenue shortfall of less than [*], LeapFrog may make a payment to Anoto in the amount of the shortfall and retain exclusivity through [*].

Earned Extension of Exclusivity Through [*]. The Exclusive Term for the Exclusive Markets for the AF Devices and Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices shall be extended until [*] if revenue paid (including royalties that are deducted against Royalty Advances) to Anoto from the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date through [*] is greater than [*]. In the event that there is a revenue shortfall of less than [*], LeapFrog may make a payment to Anoto in the amount of the shortfall and retain exclusivity through [*].

IV.

MISCELLANEOUS

1.	Sections 4.1 and 4.2(a) and (b) of the TLA are hereby deleted in their entirety.

Replacement for Section 4.2(c) of the TLA: Section 4.2(c) of the TLA is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following: From time to time during the Exclusive Term, if Anoto has a bona-fide partner opportunity to commercialize a product within the Exclusive Field in one or more Exclusive Markets (that may, at Anoto’s discretion incorporate the STP Pen), Anoto will submit a written request (including all relevant details with respect to such opportunity that Anoto is permitted to disclose consistent with its confidentiality obligations to such partner) to LeapFrog for approval to pursue such opportunity. LeapFrog will approve or reject such request within [*] days after its receipt of such request; provided, however, that LeapFrog may reject such request in its good-faith discretion if: (i) LeapFrog is otherwise in compliance with its Launch requirements with respect to the Exclusive Market identified in Anoto’s opportunity request; and (ii) the Parties have discussed in good faith the risk and likelihood of commercialization of such opportunity. If LeapFrog approves such request in writing, the Exclusive Field will not apply solely within the applicable Exclusive Market and only to the extent of the partner opportunity approved by LeapFrog. Further, the Parties acknowledge that when deciding whether or not to approve an Anoto request the following considerations will be taken into account: (x) the objective of the Parties to cooperate to create a broad de facto standard for the Licensed Anoto Technology, and (y) the risk of forcing a competing platform; and (z) the risk of reduced overall business for LeapFrog and its Group Companies.

Non-Interference. The Parties agree that during the term of this Agreement, neither Party will, directly or indirectly through others, solicit, attempt to solicit, or hire any employee of the other Party to become an employee or independent contractor (“Restricted Workers”). The restriction in the preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to (i) independent contractors, (ii) an employee who has been terminated or laid off by a Party or has given written notice of termination of employment, or (iii) without prior solicitation by the other Party, an employee who responds to any general employment advertisement placed by the other Party in connection with an open position. In the event that a Party hires a Restricted Worker in violation of this clause, such Party shall pay to the other Party immediately upon hiring or engagement of such Restricted Worker, as compensation and not as a penalty, a lump sum amount equal to the Restricted Worker’s gross wages earned by the worker during [*] month period ending on the worker’s last day of employment with the Party.

-12-

[*]. LeapFrog shall have the right, without payment of a royalty to Anoto, to license the [*], solely in object code format and in conjunction with LeapFrog’s software development kit, to LeapFrog’s developers and third party publishers for use in the creation of LeapFrog Content provided that the LeapFrog licensee agrees to be bound by terms consistent with the terms of this Agreement. LeapFrog agrees to enforce such agreements with licensees in the event that a licensee breaches such agreement, and LF agrees to indemnify and hold Anoto harmless for such breaches.

5.	Anoto will accept orders by LeapFrog for additional parts of the Anoto Dot Pattern per Section 2.2 of the TLA.

6.	LeapFrog may, upon written notice to Anoto, extend the non-exclusive “Set Term” of the Agreement under Section 16.1 of the TLA by [] to [].

This Amendment No. 5 and the TLA represent the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth herein, the TLA shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

Prior to LeapFrog entering into an agreement with a [*] company in the School Market for Summative Test Taking or Assessment, LeapFrog and Anoto will in good faith negotiate and agree upon (provided that neither party will unreasonably withhold agreement) the scope of Anoto’s revenue share of the amount [*] pays to LeapFrog for the rights to Summative Test Taking or Assessment. Such revenue sharing will apply through [*]. For the avoidance of doubt, LeapFrog will not enter into an agreement with a [*] company in the School Market for Summative Test Taking or Assessment using Anoto Technology without Anoto’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. “Summative Test Taking or Assessment” means state or nationally administered tests given to students, such as the STAR, Iowa Test of Basic Skills, TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) and FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test). Summative Test Taking or Assessment excludes test taking or formative assessment given in conjunction with classroom instruction and excludes national aptitude or admissions tests such as the SAT. The provisions of this Section only apply during the Exclusive Term.

9.	No Assignment or Delegation. Subsection (b) of Section 18.6 of the TLA is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

(b) to its Group Company as Successor; provided, however, in each case that the assigning Party will continue to honor all obligations, and the rights and licenses granted to the other Party, under the TLA and this Amendment No. 5 except that Anoto AB and Anoto Group AB shall have no obligations or responsibilities with respect to STP Pens and the STP Reference Design except as expressly set forth in Section II.1 above.

Pen Units (Million)		Hardware Royalty Rate
[*]		[*]

Note: Units refer to cumulative lifetime volume of AF Devices during the term of the TLA.

The foregoing hardware royalties apply in lieu of the provisions of Section 1 of Exhibit G of the TLA with respect to AF Devices.

A3. Royalty for Content Downloaded from a LeapFrog or Third Party Website for AF Devices.

The Royalty for LeapFrog Content for AF Devices that is made available in a download model where the sale of the content occurs on a LeapFrog controlled website or third party website (excluding content sold as a CD or other media in a box at retail where the CD or other media contains a link to such website(s) from which the content purchased by the consumer is downloaded or where the CD contains the content) shall be the following percentage of the cumulative LeapFrog Net Sales Value of downloaded LeapFrog Content less the cumulative marketing spend on AF Devices and LeapFrog Content for such devices (“the Pricing Model”):

-15-


Cumulative LeapFrog Net Sales Value of Downloaded Content Less Cumulative Marketing Spend on AF Devices		Content Royalty*
[*]		[*]
[*]		[*]
[*]		[*]

Notes:

* The royalty rate for the first [*] in Net Sales Value from a download shall be [*] regardless of the value of the Pricing Model.

** With respect to an item of LeapFrog Content, each of the royalty rates in this Section A3 shall be reduced by [*] percentage points (e.g., from [*] if LeapFrog pays a third party licensor a royalty of [*] or more of LeapFrog’s Net Sales Value for such LeapFrog Content.

For third party content sold via download the Royalty paid to Anoto shall be the applicable percentage, per the above table, of the Net Sales Value received by LeapFrog from the third party.

A4. Royalty for Content Downloaded from Pens from an Anoto Website for STP Pens.

Anoto will make available to LeapFrog the Anoto website(s) for downloads and related services (e.g., customer registration) at rates no less favorable than those made available to any other customer. In no event will the royalty for LeapFrog content downloaded on an Anoto website exceed [*] of the sales price of the download, excluding taxes.

For the avoidance of doubt, LeapFrog shall not be required to use or purchase any services or products offered by Anoto in order to deliver to customers AF Devices or content therefore or for customers to use such pens and content.

A5. Royalties for all other Content for AF Devices.

The Royalty provisions of the TLA shall apply to all content and content delivery models for AF Devices other than those set forth in Sections A3 and A4 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Royalty for “point and click” and/or slow-drag (no utilization of stroke information) content (except content utilizing Paper ROM) and for Note Pads for AF Devices shall be [*] of Net Sales Value and (ii) the royalty for content utilizing Paper ROM shall be [*] of Net Sales Value. The phrase “content utilizing Paper ROM” means content containing Dot Codes that enable a digital pen to read data from the Dot Codes that is not an XY coordinate or position information.

-16-

A6. Applications Licensed From Anoto. Subject to Section II.1, LeapFrog will have the right to obtain a license to Anoto’s content and applications for STP Pens, including content or applications included on the base ROM of the STP Pen, at rates no less favorable than those made available to any other customer.

A7. Bundles. For all Licensed Products and LeapFrog Content, if a Licensed Product (such as a pen) is bundled with LeapFrog Content on initial sell in, the hardware and content royalties will be calculated based upon the pro-rata amount of the sales price of the bundle that is attributed to the Licensed Product and the LeapFrog Content, respectively, both of which are derived from their stand alone sales price. The hardware royalty rate and cap will be applied to the pro-rata amount attributed to the Licensed Product (i.e., the pen). The content royalty rate will be applied to the pro-rata amount attributed to the LeapFrog Content. For example if the sales price of a STP Pen and LeapFrog Content bundle is [*] and the historical sale prices of the components of the bundle are [*] for the STP Pen and [*] for the LeapFrog Content, the pro-rata sales price attributable to the STP Pen will be [*], which equals [*]. The hardware royalty rate and cap, if applicable, will then be applied to [*]. The pro-rata sales price attributable to the LeapFrog Content will be [*], which equals [*]. The applicable royalty rate for the LeapFrog Content will then be applied to [*]. If LeapFrog does not have historical data to determine an average sales price of the content or other product, then LeapFrog may allocate a reasonable amount of the sales price to such content or other product based on (i) its list price or, if no list price exists, (ii) the sale price of comparable software, to be agreed upon by the parties, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld. The foregoing bundling model shall also apply to Licensed Products or LeapFrog Content bundled with respective accessories that do not include Anoto technology. For example, if a FLY 2.0 Pen is bundled with a carrying case, the hardware royalty will be calculated based upon the pro-rata amount of the sales price of the bundle that is attributed to the pen, which is derived from the stand alone sales price of the pen and carrying case. This Section A7 replaces the provisions regarding bundling in the TLA for all pens and content, including Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices, FLY 2.0 Pens and STP Pens and content therefor.

A8. All Advance Royalties paid by LeapFrog under the TLA, including the Advance Royalties paid under Section 5.5 of Exhibit G of the TLA, shall be credited against all royalties due under this Amendment No. 5.

The provisions of Sections 2(c) (as modified below), 2(d), 2(e), 3, and 6 of Exhibit G of the TLA shall continue to apply to the royalties on LeapFrog Products and LeapFrog Content, including Stand Alone (Self-Contained) Devices such as FLY 1.0 Pens, FLY 2.0 Pens and AF Devices such as STP Pens, and content therefor. Section 2(c) of Schedule G of the TLA is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following new Section 2(c) of Schedule G:

2(c) Where content is developed, created and sold by an unrelated sublicensee of LeapFrog or a LeapFrog Group Company, other than downloadable content for an AF Device, the Royalty rate is [*] of the sublicensees’ Net Sales Value of such content, subject to the following, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a) or 2(b) above to the contrary:

-17-

(i)

If LeapFrog licenses a third party the right to print the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern or Dot Codes on books, magazines and other surfaces (“Third Party Dot Enabled Content”) [*], then there will be [*] due to Anoto for the printing or distribution of the Third Party Dot Enabled Content by the sublicensee. For example, LeapFrog may grant a [*] license to a textbook publisher to print the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern on a textbook and distribute the resulting textbook. In this case, there shall be [*] due to Anoto on the license of the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern to the publisher or sale of the textbook by the publisher. In the event that LeapFrog charges [*], then LeapFrog will pay Anoto [*] of the Net Sales Value that LeapFrog receives from the sublicensee for the printing or distribution of the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern. The foregoing shall not modify or amend the royalty due to Anoto for the sale of pens or software content that interact with such Third Party Dot Enabled Content. In the event that LeapFrog acquires a publisher or enters the publishing business, then the foregoing shall apply to books, magazines and other surfaces printed with the Licensed Anoto Dot Pattern or Dot Codes sold by LeapFrog or its Affiliates as a publisher, provided, however, that, in such case, (1) if LeapFrog charges customers [*] then LeapFrog will pay [*] and (2) if LeapFrog sells [*] then LeapFrog will pay [*].

A9. Revenue Share in [*]. If LeapFrog Launches a FLY 2.0 Pen or STP Pen in [*], Anoto shall then pay to LeapFrog within [*] days of the end of each calendar quarter, [*] of Anoto’s Net Sales Value from Learning Applications for STP pens sold in [*] in the Consumer Market through [*]. LeapFrog shall have the same right to audit Anoto as Anoto has to audit LeapFrog under the TLA.
