                          REAL ESTATE MATTERS AGREEMENT

         This Real Estate Matters Agreement (this "AGREEMENT") is entered into
on May 5, 2001 between Adaptec, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ADAPTEC"), and
Roxio, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ROXIO"). Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
the Separation Agreement (as defined below).

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS, Adaptec has transferred or will transfer to Roxio effective as
of the Separation Date, substantially all of the business and assets of the
Roxio Business owned by Adaptec in accordance with the First Amended and
Restated Master Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of February 28,
2001 between Adaptec and Roxio (the "SEPARATION AGREEMENT").

         WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth certain agreements regarding
real estate matters.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and
agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:


                                    ARTICLE I

                                    PROPERTY

         SECTION 1.1 LEASED PROPERTY

         Adaptec shall assign or cause its applicable Subsidiary to assign, and
Roxio shall accept and assume, or cause its applicable Subsidiary to accept and
assume, Adaptec's or its Subsidiary's interest in the Leased Properties, subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement and (to the extent not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement) the terms of the Separation Agreement and
the other Ancillary Agreements. Such assignment shall be completed on the later
of: (i) the Separation Date; and (ii) the earlier of (A) the fifth (5th)
business day after the relevant Lease Consent has been granted and (B) the date
agreed upon by the parties in accordance with Section 1.6(a) below.

         SECTION 1.2 SHARED PROPERTIES

         Adaptec shall grant or cause its applicable Subsidiary to grant to
Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary a license to occupy those parts of the Shared
Properties identified in Section B of Schedule 1 of this Agreement currently
occupied by Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary and Roxio shall accept or cause
its applicable Subsidiary to accept the same, subject to the other provisions of
this Agreement and (to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement) the terms of the Separation Agreement and the other Ancillary
Agreements. Such license shall be completed on the Separation Date.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 1.3 BUILDING 5

         Adaptec shall grant to Roxio a lease of those portions of Building 5
identified in Section C of Schedule 1 of this Agreement and Roxio shall accept
the same, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and (to the extent
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement) the terms of the
Separation Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements. Such lease shall be
completed on the Separation Date.

         SECTION 1.4 OBTAINING THE LEASE CONSENTS

         (a) Adaptec confirms that, with respect to each Leased Property, an
application has been made or will be made by the Separation Date to the relevant
Landlord for the Lease Consents required with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

         (b) Adaptec will use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain the
Lease Consents as to each Leased Property, but Adaptec shall not be required to
commence judicial proceedings for a declaration that a Lease Consent has been
unreasonably withheld or delayed, nor shall Adaptec be required to pay any
consideration in excess of that required by the Relevant Lease or that which is
typical in the open market to obtain the relevant Lease Consent. Roxio shall
cooperate as reasonably requested by Adaptec to obtain the Lease Consents.

         (c) Roxio and Adaptec will promptly satisfy or cause their applicable
Subsidiaries to satisfy the lawful requirements of the Landlord, and Roxio will
take or cause its applicable Subsidiary to take all steps to assist Adaptec in
obtaining the Lease Consents as to each Leased Property, including, without
limitation:

                  (i)      if properly required by the Landlord, entering into
an agreement with the relevant Landlord to observe and perform the tenant's
obligations contained in the Relevant Lease throughout the remainder of the term
of the Relevant Lease, subject to any statutory limitations of such liability;

                  (ii)     if properly required by the Landlord, providing a
guarantee, surety or other security (including, without limitation, a security
deposit) for the obligations of Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary as tenant
under the Relevant Lease, and otherwise taking all steps which are reasonably
necessary and which Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary is reasonably capable of
doing to meet the lawful requirements of the Landlord so as to ensure that the
Lease Consents are obtained; and

                  (iii)    using all reasonable commercial efforts to assist
Adaptec with obtaining the Landlord's consent to the release of any guarantee,
surety or other security which Adaptec or its Subsidiary may have previously
provided to the Landlord and, if required, offering the same or equivalent
security to the Landlord in order to obtain such release.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) except with respect to guarantees, sureties
or other security referenced in Section 1.4(c)(ii) above, Roxio shall not be
required to obtain a release of any obligation entered into by Adaptec or its
Subsidiary with any Landlord or other third party with


                                      -2-
<PAGE>

respect to any Property and (2) Roxio shall not communicate or permit its
applicable Subsidiary to communicate directly with any of the Landlords unless
Roxio can show Adaptec reasonable grounds for doing so.

         (d) If, with respect to any Leased Properties, Adaptec and Roxio are
unable to obtain a release by the Landlord of any guarantee, surety or other
security which Adaptec or its Subsidiary has previously provided to the
Landlord, Roxio shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Adaptec and
its Subsidiary from and after the Separation Date against all losses, costs,
claims, damages, or liabilities incurred by Adaptec or its Subsidiary as a
result of Roxio's occupancy of the Leased Property with respect to such
guarantee, surety or other security.

         SECTION 1.5 OCCUPATION BY ROXIO

         (a) Subject to compliance with Section 1.5(b) below, in the event that
the Actual Completion Date for any Leased Property does not occur on the
Separation Date, Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary shall, commencing on the
Separation Date, be entitled to occupy the relevant Property as a licensee upon
the terms and conditions contained in Adaptec's Lease. Such license shall not be
revocable prior to the date for completion as provided in Section 1.1(a) unless
an enforcement action or forfeiture by the relevant Landlord due to Roxio or its
applicable Subsidiary's occupation of the Property constituting a breach of
Adaptec's Lease cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Adaptec, be avoided other
than by requiring Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary to immediately vacate the
relevant Property, in which case Adaptec may by notice to Roxio immediately
require Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary to vacate the relevant Property.
Roxio will be responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by
Adaptec or its applicable Subsidiary as a consequence of such occupation, except
for any losses, claims, costs, demands and liabilities incurred by Adaptec or
its Subsidiary as a result of any enforcement action taken by the Landlord
against Adaptec or its Subsidiary with respect to any breach by Adaptec or its
Subsidiary of the Relevant Lease in permitting Roxio or its applicable
Subsidiary to so occupy the Property without obtaining the required Lease
Consent, for which Adaptec or its Subsidiary shall be solely responsible.
Neither Roxio nor its applicable Subsidiary shall be entitled to make any claim
or demand against, or obtain reimbursement from, Adaptec or its applicable
Subsidiary with respect to any costs, losses, claims, liabilities or damages
incurred by Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary as a consequence of being obliged
to vacate the Property or in obtaining alternative premises, including, without
limitation, any enforcement action which a Landlord may take against Roxio or
its applicable Subsidiary.

         (b) In the event that the Actual Completion Date for any Leased
Property does not occur on the Separation Date, whether or not Roxio or its
applicable Subsidiary occupies a Property as licensee as provided in Section
1.5(a) above, Roxio shall, effective as of the Separation Date, (i) pay or cause
its applicable Subsidiary to pay Adaptec all rents, service charges, insurance
premiums and other sums payable by Adaptec or its applicable Subsidiary under
any Relevant Lease, (ii) observe or cause its applicable Subsidiary to observe
the tenant's covenants, obligations and conditions contained in Adaptec's Lease
and (iii) indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Adaptec and its
applicable Subsidiary from and against all losses, costs, claims, damages and
liabilities arising on account of any breach thereof by Roxio or its applicable
Subsidiary.

         (c) Adaptec shall supply promptly to Roxio copies of all invoices,
demands, notices and


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

other communications received by Adaptec or its applicable Subsidiaries or
agents in connection with any of the matters for which Roxio or its applicable
Subsidiary may be liable to make any payment or perform any obligation pursuant
to Section 1.5(a) or (b), and shall, at Roxio's cost, take any steps and pass on
any objections which Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary may have in connection
with any such matters. Roxio shall promptly supply to Adaptec any notices,
demands, invoices and other communications received by Roxio or its applicable
Subsidiary or agents from any Landlord while Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary
occupies any Property without the relevant Lease Consent.

         SECTION 1.6 OBLIGATION TO COMPLETE

         (a) If, with respect to any Leased Property, at any time the relevant
Lease Consent is formally and unconditionally refused in writing, Adaptec and
Roxio shall commence good faith negotiations and use commercially reasonable
efforts to determine how to allocate the applicable Property, based on the
relative importance of the applicable Property to the operations of each party,
the size of the applicable Property, the number of employees of each party at
the applicable Property and the potential risk and liability to each party in
the event an enforcement action is brought by the applicable Landlord. Such
commercially reasonable efforts shall include consideration of alternate
structures to accommodate the needs of both parties and the allocation of the
costs thereof, including entering into amendments of the size, term or other
terms of the Relevant Lease, restructuring a proposed lease assignment to be a
sublease and relocating one party. If the parties are unable to agree upon an
allocation of the Property within fifteen (15) days after commencement of
negotiations between the parties as described above, then either party may, by
delivering written notice to the other, require that the matter be referred to
the Chief Financial Officers of both parties. In such event, the Chief Financial
Officers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine the allocation
of the Property, including having a meeting or telephone conference within ten
(10) days thereafter. If the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of
an applicable Property within fifteen (15) days after the matter is referred to
the Chief Financial Officers of the parties as described above, the disposition
of the applicable Property and the risks associated therewith shall be allocated
between the parties as set forth in subparts (b) and (c) of this section below.

         (b) If, with respect to any Leased Property, the parties are unable to
agree upon the allocation of a Property as set forth in Section 1.6(a), Adaptec
may by written notice to Roxio elect to apply to the relevant Landlord for
consent to sublease all of the relevant Property to Roxio or its applicable
Subsidiary for the remainder of the Relevant Lease term less three (3) days at a
rent equal to the rent from time to time under the Relevant Lease, but otherwise
on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Relevant Lease. If Adaptec
makes such an election, until such time as the relevant Lease Consent is
obtained and a sublease is completed, the provisions of Section 1.5 will apply
and, on the grant of the Lease Consent required to sublease the Leased Property
in question, Adaptec shall sublease or cause its applicable Subsidiary to
sublease to Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary the relevant Property which
sublease shall be for the term and rent set forth in the Relevant Lease and
otherwise on the terms of the Relevant Lease.

         (c) If the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of a
Property as set forth in Section 1.6(a) and Adaptec does not make an election
pursuant to Section 1.6(b) above, Adaptec may elect by written notice to Roxio
to require Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary to vacate the relevant


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

Property immediately or by such other date as may be specified in the notice
served by Adaptec (the "NOTICE DATE"), in which case Roxio shall vacate or cause
its applicable Subsidiary to vacate the relevant Property on the Notice Date but
shall indemnify Adaptec and its applicable Subsidiary from and against all
costs, claims, losses, liabilities and damages in relation to the relevant
Property arising from and including the Separation Date to and including the
later of the Notice Date and date on which Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary
vacates the relevant Property, except for any costs, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities incurred by Adaptec or its Subsidiary with respect to any
enforcement action taken by the Landlord against Adaptec or its Subsidiary with
respect to any breach by Adaptec or its Subsidiary of the Relevant Lease in
permitting Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary to so occupy the Property without
obtaining the required Lease Consent. Neither Roxio nor its applicable
Subsidiary shall be entitled to make any claim or demand against or obtain
reimbursement from Adaptec or its applicable Subsidiary with respect to any
costs, losses, claims, liabilities or damages incurred by Roxio or its
applicable Subsidiary as a consequence of being obliged to vacate the Property
or obtaining alternative premises, including, without limitation, any
enforcement action which a Landlord may take against Roxio or its applicable
Subsidiary.

         SECTION 1.7 FORM OF TRANSFER

         (a) The assignment to Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary of each
relevant Leased Property shall be in substantially the form attached in Schedule
2, with such amendments which in the reasonable opinion of Adaptec are necessary
with respect to a particular Property, including, without limitation, in all
cases where a relevant Landlord has required a guarantor or surety to guarantee
the obligations of Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary contained in the relevant
Lease Consent or any other document which Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary is
required to complete, the giving of such guarantee by a guarantor or surety, and
the giving by Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary and any guarantor or surety of
Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary's obligations of direct obligations to
Adaptec or third parties where required under the terms of any of the Lease
Consent or any covenant, condition, restriction, easement, lease or other
encumbrance to which the Property is subject. Such amendments shall be submitted
to Roxio for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

         (b) The licenses to be granted by Adaptec or its applicable Subsidiary
to Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary, with respect to the Shared Properties
shall be at the rental rates and terms set forth in Section B of Schedule 1
hereof. The license shall be substantially in the form of the License Form
attached hereto as Schedule 3, with such amendments as are, in the reasonable
opinion of Adaptec, necessary with respect to a particular Property. Such
amendments shall be submitted to Roxio for approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

         (c) The lease to be granted to Roxio with respect to Building 5 shall
be at a monthly rental rate per rentable square foot, full service gross, of (i)
$2.61 for the first year of the term, (ii) $2.69 for the second year of the
term, (iii) $2.77 for the third year of the term, (iv) $2.85 for the fourth year
of the term and (v) $2.93 for the fifth year of the term, and be for a five (5)
year term commencing on the Separation Date. The lease shall commence in
accordance with the schedule set forth in Section C of Schedule 1 hereof. Such
lease shall be substantially in the form of the lease form attached hereto as
Schedule 4 and shall include such amendments which in the reasonable opinion of
Adaptec are necessary with respect to a particular Property. Such amendments
shall be submitted to


                                      -5-

Roxio for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. In connection with such lease, Adaptac shall grant to Roxio a revocable
license to use the cafeteria and fitness center in the complex containing
Building 5 in the form attached hereto as Schedule 5.

         SECTION 1.8 CASUALTY; LEASE TERMINATION

         The parties hereto shall grant and accept assignments, leases or
licenses of the Properties as described in this Agreement, regardless of any
casualty damage or other change in the condition of the Properties. In addition,
subject to Adaptec's obligations in Section 5.5 of the Separation Agreement, in
the event that Adaptec's Lease with respect to a Leased Property or a Shared
Property is terminated prior to the Separation Date, (a) Adaptec or its
applicable Subsidiary shall not be required to assign or license such Property,
(b) Roxio or its applicable Subsidiary shall not be required to accept an
assignment or license of such Property and (c) neither party shall have any
further liability with respect to such Property hereunder.

         SECTION 1.9 TENANT'S FIXTURES AND FITTINGS

         The provisions of the Separation Agreement and the other Ancillary
Agreements shall apply to any trade fixtures and personal property located at
each Property. The licenses as to the Shared Properties shall include the rental
of the furniture at such Properties.

         SECTION 1.10 ADJUSTMENTS

         Adaptec and Roxio each acknowledge and agree that Additional Properties
may be acquired by Adaptec prior to the Separation Date. Such Additional
Properties shall be treated hereunder as Leased Properties or Shared Properties
by mutual agreement of the parties based on whether the Additional Property was
acquired by or for the Roxio Business or Adaptec's other businesses. In the
event that the parties are unable to agree by the Separation Date as to how any
Additional Property is to be treated, the matter shall be determined in
accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 1.6(a) above. Following
agreement or determination with respect to the Additional Properties, the
parties shall enter into and complete all such documents as may be required to
give effect to such agreement or determination as provided herein.

         SECTION 1.11 COSTS

         Adaptec shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in

OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT,

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE MATTERS AGREEMENT.

         SECTION 2.2 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the Separation Agreement,
the other Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits and Schedules referenced or

Agreement or the Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto is determined by a
non-appealable decision by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be
