`
`Dual Aperture Image Fusion Technology –
`Proposed Engagement Framework
`
`Dear Apple strategic deals team
`
`In continuation to our discussions, Corephotonics is proposing to Apple to license its fusion
`technology along with additional components relating to zoom.
`
`1. Background
`Corephotonics’ was established just three years ago by a small group of entrepreneurs with
`accumulated experience of almost 100 years in technology development and imaging.
`Corephotonics’ vision is to bring to the smartphone market a significant performance leap in
`photographic quality by differentiated and well patented technologies, developed internally
`to the rigorous market standards. Since its inception Corephotonics successfully developed
`and patented dual aperture zoom and low light cameras which were evaluated and
`scrutinized by Apple’s camera and imaging teams.
`
`2. Objectives and assumptions of the engagement
`a. Corephotonics would integrate its fusion algorithms to designated Apple computing
`platform(s)
`b. The fusion is considered for deployment as part of Apple’s image processing
`technology stack and not necessarily in association with a specific product
`c. To facilitate Apple’s needs from fusion technology Corephotonics is open to consider
`various operational frameworks. Among these options, is a dedicated Apple team that
`would be created by Corephotonics and would be maintained not only up to delivery
`but possibly on an ongoing basis with multi-generational support in mind
`
`3. Deliverables and services
`Corephotonics deliverable(s) are fusion algorithms for designated Apple computing
`platforms. Additionally to this Corephotonics supports as a service, the camera integration
`and image fine tuning activity together with the camera module supply chain, Apple camera
`team and with Apple Imaging and applications teams.

`
`4. Business model
`Corephotonics establishes a license agreement with Apple. The license is for using the
`Corephotonics deliverables under the Corephotonics patents and IP rights.
`
`5. Fees
`$1m
`a. License fee
`Fee for fusion and zoom dual camera technology IP license.
`b. NRE
` TBD
`Corephotonics engineering costs related to completing product level delivery of fusion
`and camera integration to Apple.
`c. Royalty
`Corephotonics list price for zoom royalty is $0.52
`Apple will issue quarterly report about unit shipments containing the licensed
`components or software libraries. For each unit shipped a royalty is due to
`Corephotonics.
`
`6. Apple-specific terms
`Corephotonics is flexible to accommodate special requirements Apple may have in the
`operational run of the project. One option is a dedicated Apple team with dedicated office
`access, network, servers, data-access permissions and so on. Corephotonics maintains that
`having this team in the Corephotonics main office with daily interaction to the rest of
`Corephotonics team would be most conducive to the project.
`
`7. Non-fusion IP and deliverables
`Apple is considering to obtain Corephotonics’ fusion technology and develop multi aperture
`camera components independently. However, Corephotonics team believes that camera
`related IP and know how, including Corephotonics’ IP on miniature telephoto lens design
`may turn out necessary to achieve desired product results and should be included in this
`engagement.
`
`8. The terms in this proposal are valid through September 30 2014.
`
`Looking forward to hear back from you.
