      WHEREAS, Licensee wishes to obtain rights under the Licensed Patents as
set forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein,
and intending to be legally bound thereby, the parties agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I
                                   THE GRANT

1.1   Licensor grants to Licensee a nonexclusive license under the Licensed
      Patents to make, use, and sell products covered by the Licensed Patents in
      the United States, its territories, and its possessions ("License"). If
      Licensee if successful on or before March 31, 2003 in raising capital in
      an amount of Six Million Dollars (US $6,000,000.00) available for funding
      development and production of products covered by the Licensed Patents,
      then this license shall become exclusive for the duration thereof.

                                   ARTICLE II
                          PAYMENT IN LIEU OF ROYALTIES

      business day following each July 1 and January 1 (not to exceed the
      maximum rate allowed by law), until paid in full. Licensee may, from time
      to time, prepay any or all of this amount without penalty; provided,
      however, that any prepayment will be credited against unpaid principal and
      will not reduce the amount of future monthly payments.

      the prime rate plus 1% as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the first
      business day following each July 1 and January 1 (not to exceed the
      maximum rate allowed by law), until paid in full. Licensee may, from time
      to time, prepay any or all of this amount without penalty; provided,
      however, that any prepayment will be credited against unpaid principal and
      will not reduce the amount of future monthly payments.

(C)   To Marc Walther: US$1,000,000.00, payable at the rate of $10,000.00 on or

      maximum rate allowed by law), until paid in full. Licensee may, from time
      to time, prepay any or all of this amount without penalty; provided,
      however, that any prepayment will be credited against unpaid principal and
      will not reduce the amount of future monthly payments.

(D)   All payments pursuant to this Section 2.1 will be made in equal amounts to
      each person.

                                  ARTICLE III
                    LIABILITY, INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

3.1   As between Licensee and Licensor, and except for gross negligence and/or
      willful misconduct, Licensor shall not be liable to Licensee or to
      Licensee's employees, agents, or customers or to any other person
      whomsoever, for any injury to person or damage to property arising out of,
      or in connection with, Licensee's use of the License. Licensee hereby
      agrees to indemnify Licensor and hold Licensor harmless from any loss,
      expense, including reasonable attorney expenses, or claims arising out of
      such damage or injury.

3.2   Licensee shall procure and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement
      a policy or policies of insurance, at its sole cost and expense, insuring
      both Licensor and Licensee against all claims, demands or actions arising
      out of, or in connection with, Licensee's use of the License, the limits
      of such policy or policies to be in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00
      in respect of injuries to or death of any one person, and in an amount not
      less than $5,000,000.00 in respect of any one accident or disaster, and in
      an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 in respect of property damaged or
      destroyed, and to be written by insurance companies reasonably
      satisfactory to Licensor. In addition, Licensee shall provide products
      liability and completed operations coverage in an amount not less than
      $1,000,000.00. Licensee shall obtain a written obligation on the part of
      each insurance company to notify Licensor in writing at least ten (10)
      days prior to cancellation of such insurance. If Licensee should fail to
      comply with the foregoing requirements relating to insurance, Licensor
      may, but is not required to, obtain such insurance and Licensee shall pay
      to Licensor on demand as additional fee hereunder the premium cost thereof
      plus interest at the maximum contractual rate (but in no event to exceed
      one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month) from the date of payment by
      Licensor until repaid by Licensee.


                                       2

3.3   Licensee agrees to maintain and keep in force, during the term thereof,
      all employee's compensation insurance required under applicable Worker's
      compensation Acts (Worker's Compensation).

                                  ARTICLE IV.
                          ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLICENSING

4.1   Licensee shall not assign or in any manner transfer this Agreement or
      interest therein, or sublicense the License or any part thereof, or grant
      any license, concession or other right with regards to the License without
      the prior written consent of Licensor; and any such assignment shall make
      this agreement voidable at the option of Licensor. Consent by Licensor to
      one or more assignments shall not operate as a waiver of Licensor's rights
      as to any subsequent assignments and/or subassignments. Licensor hereby
      consents to the reorganization whereby Licensee's common stock will be
      exchanged for stock in Southborrough Ventures, Inc., having the right to
      cast in excess of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast by
      shareholders of Southborrough Ventures, Inc.

4.2   If at any time during the primary term of this Agreement or any renewal or
      extension thereof, the person or persons who own or control, directly or
      indirectly, a majority of either the outstanding voting shares or all
      outstanding shares of capital stock of Licensee at the time of the
      execution of this Agreement (and/or Southborrough Ventures, Inc. after the
      stock exchange referenced in Paragraph 6.1) cease to own a majority of
      such shares or voting rights (except as the result of transfers by devise
      or descent), the loss of a majority of such shares or voting rights shall
      be deemed as assignment of this Agreement by Licensee and therefore
      subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 6.1 above.

4.3   Notwithstanding any assignment, Licensee shall at all times remain fully
      responsible and liable for the payment of the payments herein specified
      and for compliance with all of its other obligations under this Agreement
      (even if future assignments occur subsequent to the assignment by
      Licensee, and regardless of whether or not Licensor's approval has been
      obtained for such future assignments.) Moreover, in the event that the
      fees due and payable by a sublicensee (or a combination of the fees
      payable under such subassignment plus any bonus or other consideration
      therefor or incident thereto) exceed the fees payable under this Agreement
      or if with respect to a permitted assignment, permitted license or other
      transfer by Licensee permitted by Licensor, the consideration payable to
      Licensee by the assignee, licensee or other transferee exceeds the fee
      payable under this Agreement, then Licensee shall be bound and obligated
      to pay Licensor all such excess fee and other excess consideration within
      ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Licensee from such assignee,
      licensee or other transferee, as the case may be. Finally, in any event of
      assignment it is understood and agreed that all fees paid to Licensee by
      an assignee shall be received by Licensee in trust for Licensor, to be
      forwarded immediately to Licensor without offset or reduction of any kind.

4.4   Licensee shall not mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its interest in
      this Agreement or in the License.

4.5   In the event of the transfer and assignment by Licensor's of its interest


                                       3
<PAGE>

      in this Agreement to a person expressly assuming Licensor's obligations
      under this Agreement, Licensor shall thereby be released from any further
      obligations hereunder, and Licensee agrees to look solely to such
      successor in interest of Licensor's for performance of such obligations.
      Any security given by Licensee to secure performance of Licensee's
      obligations hereunder may be assigned and transferred by Licensor to such
      successor in interest, and Licensor shall thereby be discharged of any
      further obligation relating thereto.

                                   ARTICLE V
                                    MARKING

5.1   Licensee, to extent possible, agrees to mark all products made, used, or
      sold under this Agreement with such notice of the Licensed Patents as may
      be required by the laws of the countries granting them or as may be
      reasonably requested in writing by Licensor.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                        DIRECTION OF LICENSEE'S ENERGIES

6.1   Licensee shall devote its resources and energies on a full-time basis to
      the development, production and marketing of products under the License.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                        DIRECTION OF LICENSEE'S ENERGIES

7.1   The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Licensee
      under this Agreement:

(A)   Licensee or any sublicensee shall fail to pay any installment of fee or
      any other obligation hereunder involving the payment of money and such
      failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after the date due.

(B)   Licensee or any sublicensee shall fail to comply with any term, provision
      or covenant of this Agreement, other than as described in subsection (A)
      above, and shall not cure such failure within fifteen (15) days after
      written notice thereof to Licensee.

(C)   Licensee, sublicensee, or any guarantor of Licensee's obligations under
      this Agreement shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud
      of creditors, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

(D)   Licensee, sublicensee, or any guarantor of Licensee's obligations under
      this Agreement shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the
      National Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any similar law or statute
      of the United States or any State thereof; or Licensee, sublicensee, or
      any guarantor of Licensee's obligations under this Agreement shall be
      adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Licensee,
      sublicensee, or any guarantor of Licensee's obligations under this
      Agreement thereunder.

(E)   A receiver or Trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of


                                       4
<PAGE>

      the assets of Licensee, any sublicensee, or any guarantor of Licensee's
      obligations under this Agreement.

(F)   Licensee shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien upon
      the License or rights thereunder.

7.2   Upon the occurrence of any such events of default, Licensor shall have
      the option, but is not required, to pursue either of the following
      alternative remedies:

(A)   Without any notice or demand whatsoever, Licensor may take any one or more
      of the actions permissible at law to insure performance by Licensee of
      Licensee's covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

(B)   Licensor may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Licensee, in
      which event Licensee shall immediately surrender to Licensor all
      documents, products, and anything else related to the License, and if
      Licensee fails to do so, Licensor may, without prejudice to any other
      remedy which Licensor may have for possession or arrearages in fee, enter
      upon Licensee's property and take possession of such material.

7.3   It is further agreed that, in addition to payments otherwise required,
      Licensee shall compensate Licensor for all expenses incurred by Licensor
      in repossession and relicensing (including among other expenses, repairs,
      and brokerage fees), all concessions granted to a new Licensee upon
      relicensing (including among other concessions, renewal options), all
      losses incurred as a direct or indirect result of Licensee's default and a
      reasonable allowance for Licensee's administrative efforts, salaries and
      overhead attributable directly or indirectly to Licensee's default and
      Licensor's pursuing the rights and remedies provided herein and under
      applicable law.

7.4   Licensor may restrain or enjoin any breach or threatened breach of any
      covenant, duty or obligation of Licensee herein contained without the
      necessity of proving the inadequacy of any legal remedy or irreparable
      harm. The remedies of Licensor hereunder shall be deemed cumulative and
      not exclusive of each other.

7.5   If on account of any breach or default by Licensee in its obligations
      hereunder, Licensor shall employ an attorney to present, enforce or defend
      any of Licensor's rights or remedies hereunder, Licensee agrees to pay any
      reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Licensor in such connection.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                  TERMINATION

8.1   Unless otherwise provided, this License shall extend for the entire life
      of the Licensed Patents.

8.2   Licensee may terminate the License at any time on one (1) years' prior
      written notice to Licensor.


                                       5
<PAGE>

8.3   Licensor may terminate on 90 days notice in writing to Licensee for
      Licensee's failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement;
      provided, however, that if, during the first notice period, Licensee shall
      have remedied such failure and paid all damages in connection therewith,
      this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as it would have
      done if notice had not been given.

8.4   The License shall terminate automatically if the Licensee becomes
      insolvent or bankrupt, if a receiver is appointed for Licensee, or if the
      Licensee reorganized for the benefit of creditors.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                            RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION

9.1   The termination or expiration of the License or this Agreement shall not
      relieve Licensee of its obligation to pay Licensor all royalties that
      shall have accrued up to the effective date of termination or expiration;
      or its obligation for damages as a result of any breach.

                                   ARTICLE X
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

10.1  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties
      hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal
      and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties
      thereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of
      computation of the fee, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any
      acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship
      between the parties hereto other than the relationship of
      Licensor/Licensee.

10.2  Licensee shall not for any reason withhold or reduce Licensee's required
      payments of fees and other charges provided in this Agreement, it being
      agreed that the obligations of Licensor hereunder are independent of
      Licensee's obligations except as may be otherwise expressly provided. In
      this regard, it is specifically understood and agreed that in the event
      Licensor commences any proceedings against Licensee for nonpayment of fees
      or any other sum due and payable by Licensee hereunder, Licensee will not
      interpose any counterclaim or other claim against Licensor of whatever
      nature or description in any such proceedings; and in the event that
      Licensee interposes any such counter-claim or other claim against Licensor
      in such proceedings, Licensor and Licensee stipulate and agree that, in
      addition to any other claim asserted by Licensee shall be severed out of
      the proceedings instituted by Licensor, and Licensor may proceed to final
      judgment separately and apart from and without consolidation with or
      reference to the status of such counter-claim or any other claim asserted
      by Licensee.

10.3  Except as may be otherwise herein provided, in all circumstances under
      this Agreement where prior consent or permission of one party ("first
      party"), whether it be Licensor or Licensee, is required before the other


                                       6
<PAGE>

      party ("second party") is authorized to take any particular type of
      action, the matter of whether to grant such consent or permission shall be
      within the sole and exclusive judgment and discretion of the first party;
      and it shall not constitute any nature of breach by the first party
      hereunder or any defense to the performance of any covenant, duty or
      obligation of the second party hereunder that the first party delayed or
      withheld the granting of such consent or permission, whether or not the
      delay or withholding of such consent or permission was, in the opinion of
      the second party, prudent or reasonable or based on good cause.

10.4  One or more waivers of any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement
      by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach
      of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by either
      party to or of any act by the other party requiring such consent or
      approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary consent to or
      approval of any subsequent similar act.

10.5  Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for action to be taken by
      Licensor, Licensor shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall
      be excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays
      due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war,
      governmental laws, regulations or restrictions or any other causes of any
      kind whatsoever which are beyond the reasonable control of Licensor.

10.6  The laws of the State of Michigan shall govern the interpretation,
      validity, performance and enforcement of this Agreement. If any provision
      of this Agreement should be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the
      validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement
      shall not be affected thereby. A lawful and enforceable provision shall be
      substituted for the unlawful or unenforceable provision.

10.7  The captions used herein are for convenience only and do not limit or
      amplify the provisions hereof.

10.8  Whenever here the singular number is used, the same shall include the
      plural, and words of any gender shall include each other gender.

10.9  The terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement shall
      apply to, inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto
      and their respective permitted successors in interest and assigns except
      as otherwise herein expressly provided.

10.10 This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties, and no
      agreement shall be effective to change, modify or terminate this Agreement
      in whole or in part unless such is in writing and duly signed by the party
      against whom enforcement of such change, modification or termination is
      sought. Licensor and Licensee hereby acknowledge that they are not
      relying on any representation or promise of the other, except as may be
      expressly set forth in this Agreement.

10.11 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, any of which
      need not contain the signatures of more than one Party, but all such
      counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.


                                       7
<PAGE>

      Any signature page of any such counterpart, or any facsimile transmission
      thereof, may be attached or appended to any other counterpart to complete
      a fully executed counterpart of this Agreement, and any facsimile
      transmission of any signature of a Party shall be deemed an original and
      shall bind such Party.

10.12 Termination of the License by Licensor shall in no way prejudice the
      rights of Licensor to seek other remedies for the failure of Licensee. Any
      delay in exercising the rights of termination shall in no way prejudice
      the right of Licensor to terminate for any subsequent or continuing
      failure of Licensee.

10.13 All notices shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
      sufficiently given if mailed by registered or certified mail, postage
      prepaid, and addressed to the party at its last designated address. Each
      notice shall be effective on the date three (3) days after the postage
      date. Until changed by written notice given by the parties, the respective
      addresses of the parties to this Agreement are as set forth above.

10.14 This Agreement may be assigned by Licensor and shall inure to the benefit
      of its successors and assigns. However, this Agreement shall not be
      assignable by Licensee, except as expressly permitted herein or otherwise
      approved in writing by Licensor.

The parties have executed this Agreement on the date listed on the first page of
this Agreement.
