Collaboration Agreement ("Agreement"), with the Samsung S1 Corporation, a
member of the Samsung family of companies.
Under the Agreement, DSS grants to Samsung S1 an exclusive, non-transferable
right to market, sell and distribute all of DSS's AuthentiGuard(TM) Products

distribute DSS AuthentiGuard(TM) Products to Samsung and its affiliates

with Samsung S1 as it confirms the quality and demand for our authentication
