On June 28, 2007, we exercised provisions in our license agreement with TGC, Inc. that ended TGC’s exclusive rights to use certain aspects of our technology and intellectual property in The People’s Republic of China (China), Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, and The Republic of China (Taiwan). TGC continues to have a non-exclusive license to commercialize the licensed portions of our technology and intellectual property in those countries. As a result, we now have the ability to pursue licensing opportunities through direct relationships with broadcasters, video operators, and other significant media companies in those countries, which can now be structured similarly to our other recently announced international distribution agreements.
The foregoing disclosure about our license to TGC is qualified in its entirety by reference to the descriptions and provisions of the license previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on our Current, Quarterly, and Annual Reports.
