LICENSOR and LICENSEE agree that an independent certified public accounting firm (selected by LICENSOR from the largest ten certified public accounting firms in the United States of America, or any country in the Licensed Territory) may audit such records, files and books of accounts to determine the accuracy of the statements given by LICENSEE pursuant to
Section 3.1 hereof. Such an audit shall be made upon reasonable advance notice to LICENSEE and during usual business hours. The cost of the audit shall be borne by LICENSOR, unless the audit shall disclose a material breach by LICENSEE of any term of this Agreement, or a material inaccuracy in any report provided to LICENSOR by LICENSEE, during the audited period, in which case LICENSEE shall bear the full cost of such audit. The results of the audit shall be kept confidential pursuant to the provisions of
Section 12.1 except to the extent required by a party hereto to enforce its rights hereunder, or which is otherwise required to be disclosed by law or under generally accepted accounting principles.

After the expiration or termination of this Agreement, LICENSEE shall have no right to sell, and no obligation to manufacture and deliver, Light Valve Film to any Authorized User or to any other party.

10.3 Termination by LICENSOR. LICENSOR may terminate this Agreement at any time upon at least 30 days' notice to LICENSEE if LICENSEE shall have failed to make any payment when due or at any time breach any material term of this Agreement and such payment is not made or such breach is not cured within any applicable cure period specified in Article 11 of this Agreement, or repeatedly provide inaccurate reports hereunder, or if there has been a cessation by LICENSEE of general operations or of work related to Light Valve Film.

10.4 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason whatsoever, in addition to any other remedies which one party may have against the other: (1) all of LICENSEE's rights and licenses under this Agreement shall cease, and LICENSEE shall immediately return to LICENSOR all Technical Information furnished to LICENSEE under this Agreement, together with all reproductions, copies and summaries thereof; provided, however, that LICENSEE may retain solely for archival purposes one copy of all such documents in its legal department files, (2) at LICENSOR's option, LICENSEE shall, within 30 days of the date of such termination, either (A) sell and deliver to LICENSOR under the terms specified in Section 4.2 any Light Valve Film which shall then be in the possession of LICENSEE, and, if requested by LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall finish and deliver to LICENSOR any Light Valve Film in the process of manufacture as soon as possible and, in any case, not later than 30 days after receiving LICENSOR's request, and/or (B) with respect to any unsold inventory and work in the process of manufacture, to complete such work in process and sell any remaining inventory during the period not to exceed six months from the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement provided that at the completion of such six-month period, LICENSEE shall promptly destroy and dispose of any Light Valve Film (and Light Valve Film in the process of manufacture) not sold under this Section 10.4 and
(3) if this Agreement is terminated for any reason or expires, upon such termination or expiration, LICENSEE hereby grants to LICENSOR a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide license with the right to grant sublicenses to others to utilize all technical information, improvements and/or modifications (whether or not the subject of patents or pending patent applications) developed or invented by or on behalf of LICENSEE and/or its sublicensees, subcontractors, or agents hereunder through the date of such termination or expiration of this Agreement relating to Light Valves, Light Valve Film or SPD Emulsion which relate to or arise out of Technical Information or materials disclosed or provided by LICENSOR or its licensees and their sublicensees to, and upon such termination or expiration, LICENSEE shall provide LICENSOR in reasonable detail complete information regarding such technical information, improvements and/or modifications, and LICENSOR shall reimburse LICENSEE with the reasonable costs of travel by personnel of LICENSEE if such travel is requested by LICENSOR to facilitate the transfer of such information. The foregoing license shall be self-effectuating, but LICENSEE agrees upon written notice by LICENSOR at any time hereafter to deliver to LICENSOR within 30 days of such notice any document or other instrument reasonably requested by LICENSOR to convey such license rights to LICENSOR such as, by way of example, confirmations or instruments of conveyance or assignment. No termination of this Agreement by expiration or otherwise shall release LICENSEE or LICENSOR from any of its continuing obligations hereunder, if any, or limit, in any way any other remedy one party may have against the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE's obligations to LICENSOR under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 6.1, 6.2, 7.2, 8.5, 10.2, 10.4, 12.1, and Articles 13 and 14 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

11 EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

11.1 Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement:

11.1.1 (a) A party's material breach or material failure to punctually perform any of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, which material breach or failure, if curable, remains uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach or failure is received by the breaching party; or (b) a material misrepresentation is made by a party in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and the misrepresented facts or circumstances, if curable, remain uncured thirty (30) days after written notice of such misrepresentation is received by the breaching party; and, in either case, if such breach or misrepresentation is not curable, termination shall occur thirty
(30) days after such misrepresentation or breach at the option of the non-breaching party; or

11.1.2 The failure by a party upon request to provide the other party with adequate assurances of its performance of all obligations under this Agreement upon: (a) such first party's filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy; (b) the filing of any involuntary petition to have such first party declared bankrupt which has not been dismissed within ninety (90) days of its filing; (c) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for such first party which has not been rescinded within ninety (90) days of the date of such appointment; or (d) such first party otherwise becoming insolvent or otherwise making an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

11.2 Default by a Party. If there occurs an Event of Default with respect to a party, the other party may:

(a) seek damages; and/or

(b) seek an injunction or an order for mandatory or specific performance; and/or

(c) terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted to LICENSEE hereunder whereupon the non-defaulting party shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except those which expressly survive termination.

12 CONFIDENTIALITY.

12.1 Confidential Information. (a) LICENSEE agrees for itself, its sublicensees, and their employees and agents that for twenty (20) years from the later of the Effective Date or the latest date of its receipt of information disclosed to LICENSEE by LICENSOR pursuant to this Agreement, such information shall be held in confidence; provided, however, there shall be no obligation to treat as confidential information which is or becomes available to the public other than through a breach of this obligation, or which was already possessed by LICENSEE in writing (or otherwise provable to be in the possession of LICENSEE) prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement or the Effective Date of the Emulsion License Agreement (and was not received from LICENSOR) or which is shown by LICENSEE to have been received by it from a third party who had the legal right to so disclose it without restrictions and without breach of any agreement with LICENSOR or its licensees. The burden of proving the availability of any exception of confidentiality shall be on the LICENSEE. LICENSOR shall affix an appropriate legend on all written documentation given to LICENSEE which contains confidential information. LICENSEE acknowledges that the list of patent applications contained on Schedule A shall be deemed to be confidential information. Other than for the oral information conveyed during the training and/or visits conducted pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 hereof, if any, all of which shall be deemed to be confidential information, if confidential information is otherwise conveyed orally by LICENSOR after training and/or visits have been completed, LICENSOR shall specify to LICENSEE at the time such information is being conveyed (or in a subsequent letter referring to the conversation) that the information conveyed is confidential. It is understood and agreed that, unless otherwise provided in a separate agreement between LICENSEE and LICENSOR, LICENSEE has no obligation hereunder to provide LICENSOR with any confidential or proprietary information, and that LICENSOR shall have no obligation hereunder to LICENSEE to maintain in confidence or refrain from commercial or other use of any information which LICENSOR is or becomes aware of under this Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties shall not be considered confidential, and the parties hereto acknowledge that, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, LICENSOR may file copies of this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with NASDAQ and with any other stock exchange on which LICENSOR's securities may be listed. LICENSEE agrees that for the period of time during which LICENSEE is obligated to keep information confidential hereunder, LICENSEE will not make, use, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of products using or directly or indirectly derived from confidential information or sample materials supplied to LICENSEE by LICENSOR or its licensees, sublicensees, or any of their affiliates relating to Light Valve Film, SPD Emulsion or Light Valves or which otherwise comprise suspended particles, which when subjected to a suitable electric or magnetic field, orient to produce a change in the optical characteristics of the suspension ("SPD Technology") unless an agreement between LICENSOR and LICENSEE permitting it to do so is in full force and effect and the royalties, if any, provided in such agreement are being paid to LICENSOR on such products. The term "SPD Technology" shall not include technology (i) which does not directly or indirectly incorporate SPD Technology, such as, but not limited to, liquid crystal devices, electrochromic devices, or similar technology, or (ii) which incorporate technology involving suspended particles, which when subjected to a suitable electric or magnetic field, orient to produce a change in the optical characteristics of the suspension but which is independently developed or licensed from third party(ies) and which is not in any way directly or indirectly derived from any Technical Information of LICENSOR or its licensees, sublicensees, or any of their affiliates. LICENSEE shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the availability of any exception of confidentiality exists or that the foregoing restrictions do not apply to a particular product. Nothing contained in this section, however, shall be construed as granting LICENSEE any rights or licenses with respect to any Technical Information or patents of LICENSOR or its other licensees or their sublicensees.

(b) LICENSEE will have the right to provide materials to, and to disclose information of LICENSOR to a subcontractor relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that LICENSEE shall only disclose such information as is strictly necessary to enable said subcontractor to perform its manufacturing task, and provided that prior to disclosing any information to said subcontractor, said subcontractor has signed a secrecy agreement with LICENSEE at least as protective of LICENSOR's Technical Information as the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, said subcontractor's specific agreement to be bound by the provisions of Section 12.1 hereof to the same extent as LICENSEE. For such purposes, LICENSEE may develop a standard form of secrecy agreement for LICENSOR's approval, after which LICENSEE may use such secrecy agreement with all subcontractors without LICENSOR's prior approval of the secrecy agreement being necessary. LICENSEE shall have all subcontractors sign said secrecy agreement prior to the disclosure of Technical Information to said subcontractor, and LICENSEE shall send LICENSOR a copy of every such secrecy agreement within thirty (30) days after the execution thereof.

14.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute provision that is legal and enforceable and is as nearly as possible consistent with the intentions underlying the original provision. If the remainder of this Agreement is not materially affected by such declaration or finding and is capable of substantial performance, then the remainder shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

14.4 Waiver. Unless agreed to by the parties in writing to the contrary, the failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any right contained in this Agreement or provided by law, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the performance of such provision or right or the right subsequently to demand such strict performance or exercise of such right, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall continue unchanged and remain in full force and effect.

DAINIPPON INK AND CHEMICALS EXPANDS

ITS BUSINESS TO PRODUCE SPD-SMART
LIGHT-CONTROL FILM

Tokyo, Japan and Woodbury, New York April 4, 2006. Dainippon Ink and Chemicals Incorporated announced today that it has expanded the business it started in 1999 to make SPD emulsions, by now acquiring an additional license from Research Frontiers Incorporated (Nasdaq: REFR) to make and sell SPD- Smart light-control film.

In June of 1999, DIC first became licensed by Research Frontiers to make SPD emulsions, which combine special polymers, particles, and other chemicals in a form that can be coated into a high-performance light-control film used in windows and many other products. Since that time, a growing team of people within DIC's R&D and marketing departments in Japan, Europe and the United States, have been working with Research Frontiers and its end-product licensees to develop and improve these SPD emulsions for use in SPD-Smart light-control film. The new license permits DIC to now produce and sell SPD-Smart light- control film, and the first shipments of DIC's next-generation SPD film from its production line have already begun. DIC also plans to expand production capacity from current levels.

SPD light-control film has wide applicability in a variety of SPD- Smart products including architectural, automotive, aircraft and marine windows, as well as in instantly adjustable variable tint eyewear. SPD light-control technology can be used on flat or curved glass or plastic surfaces, and is the world's only light- control technology to combine fast switching speed, optical clarity over a wide range of light transmission, and uniform switching over large surface areas. This next-generation SPD light-control film has the widest reported range of light transmission which can permit the film to go from nearly as clear as an ordinary window to less than 0.5% light transmission, which is forty times darker than even the darkest window tints commonly found on glass office buildings. Switching speed for SPD films is a fast 2-3 seconds, and these materials are durable, having successfully been subjected to thousands of hours of high-intensity exposure under accelerated weathering conditions.

DIC's worldwide non-exclusive license permits it to coat SPD emulsion into SPD light-control films, and sell such films to companies licensed by Research Frontiers to make SPD-Smart end-products. Currently 34 companies around the world are licensed to use Research Frontiers' patented SPD light-control technology in emulsions, film, or end-products. These companies include some of the world's largest chemical and glass companies, who in turn are working with their customers in the automotive, aircraft, marine and architectural product industries.

In a window, sunroof, or other product using VaryFast SPD- Smart technology, the user can manually or automatically "tune" the amount of light, glare and heat coming into a home, office, aircraft, train or other vehicle. SPD-Smart windows, which can reduce energy consumption, also block over 99% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation to protect occupants and prevent the fading of carpets, furniture, and artwork. Additional information about SPD-Smart windows and other products can be found at www.SmartGlass.com.
