Exhibit 10.2




DEVELOPMENT/MASTER AGREEMENT




This Development/Master Agreement is made this 21st day of September, 2009 by and between
Receptors LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Receptors”), and VeriChip
Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (“VeriChip”).
Receptors and VeriChip shall be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the
“Parties.”



WHEREAS, VeriChip desires to obtain the services (the “Development Services”) of
Receptors to, on a commercially reasonable best efforts basis, develop certain products for the
detection and identification of the influenza virus as described in Exhibit A attached
hereto (the “Products”), and Receptors desires to provide such Development Services to
VeriChip and to provide an option to license the use of the Products on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth herein.



NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and other
good and valuable consideration the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree
as follows:



1. Development Services.  Receptors agrees to provide the Development Services and use
its commercially reasonable best efforts to develop the Products subject to the specifications
provided in the Program Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B, which may be modified by the
Parties in writing from time to time.



2. License Certain Rights. So long as VeriChip is current on the Development Fee
Payments described in Section 4 below, Receptors grants VeriChip the license as described in the
License Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “License Agreement”).



3. Ownership of Products.  VeriChip acknowledges and agrees that the Products contain
proprietary and patent protected material and contain trade secrets and other intellectual property
rights exclusively owned by Receptors. VeriChip agrees to maintain the secrecy of the contents of
the Products and implement adequate safeguards to prevent and protect the contents of the Products
from unauthorized use or disclosure. Subject to the rights VeriChip may attain from the License
Agreement, VeriChip agrees that Receptors is and shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of all
rights, title, and interest in and to the Products including any enhancements, updates,
modifications and any patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and any other intellectual property
rights related thereto. VeriChip shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership.
Except as set forth in Section 2 above, this Agreement does not grant VeriChip any rights to any
patents, copyrights, trade secrets, tradenames, trademarks (whether registered or unregistered), or
any other rights or licenses with respect to the Products. This Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.



4. Development Fees. In exchange for the Development Services, VeriChip shall pay
Receptors the amounts specified in Exhibit D. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares
of VeriChip stock by reason of any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
split-up, combination or exchange of shares or other similar change affecting the stock of
VeriChip, VeriChip and Receptors shall make an adjustment to the VeriChip stock to which Receptors
is entitled under this Section 4 as shall be equitable and appropriate.


 


 









 





5. Term.  This Agreement shall remain in force until the Products are delivered and
accepted pursuant to the schedule in Exhibit B, unless sooner terminated under the provisions of
Section 6 below.




6.
Termination.

relief shall not prohibit or limit a Party to seek or obtain any other remedy provided under this
