b)           Perpetual shall, at ETI’s request and expense, apply for letters patent either in Perpetual’s name or otherwise as ETI shall direct, and Perpetual agrees to assign and does assign to ETI all of Perpetual’s right, title and interest in and to such enhancements, improvements, modifications to XYO, or inventions related to XYO, all of the foregoing without royalty or any other consideration to Perpetual, other than as specifically provided for in this Agreement.

ETI may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obliged to, take all reasonably necessary steps to protect XYO by way of patent protection in any part of the worldwide market in which such protection has not yet been obtained, including but not limited to patent applications specifically describing the application of XYO to the Products. All costs associated with obtaining such patent protection, and all maintenance fees payable in respect thereof, shall be borne by ETI. Should ETI choose not to pursue such patent protection, then Perpetual shall have the option, with the specific written consent of ETI, of pursuing this same patent protection and shall pay all costs associated with obtaining such patent protection and all maintenance fees payable thereon. Perpetual must name ETI on any such patent and patent application and shall grant ETI a royalty-free right to use the said patent and patent application.

7.3.

Subject to the terms of an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, the costs of the suit (other than the costs of Perpetual's own counsel) shall be borne by ETI and ETI shall be solely entitled to the recovery of any damages or settlement monies. In the event that ETI refuses to prosecute the suit or to continue the prosecution of the suit to judgment or settlement, then Perpetual may, upon the giving of notice to ETI, bear the costs of prosecuting or continuing the suit, as the case may be, and shall be entitled to retain all damages or settlement monies recovered as a result of the suit. 

7.7.      Notice of the license granted herein may be filed in any Patent Office by either Party hereto, in respect of any of the XYO Patents.

If Perpetual desires to carry out any action, whether written or oral, relating to or referring to XYO or any material marked confidential by ETI then Perpetual agrees to seek ETI’s approval and to promptly make full disclosure in writing to ETI providing full details of such desired action before such action is to be carried out. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Perpetual shall not make any patent applications relating to or referring to XYO or any material marked confidential by ETI without the specific written consent of ETI, which consent shall be granted at the sole discretion of ETI. 

7.11.    Perpetual agrees that ETI may be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement by Perpetual, which breach may not be adequately compensated for by damages, and ETI shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, without the need to prove irreparable harm and without the necessity of posting a bond in the event of breach of any provisions of this Agreement. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive remedies for breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law.

7.14.    Perpetual recognizes that in order to take full advantage of the benefits afforded by the use of XYO, some modification to existing or future products may be required and/or necessary. Failure to correctly implement such modifications may have an adverse effect on the functioning of XYO and dramatically affect the performance of XYO.

7.15.    The parties mutually agree that all promises, conduct, and statements made in the course of reaching this Agreement, including the fact of Agreement, are confidential and will not be disclosed voluntarily to the extent permitted by law, and without the specific written consent of both parties.

10.7.    The delay or failure in performance excused by section 10.6 of this Agreement shall only be excused for so long as the causes of such excusable delay or failure subsist. The Parties shall resume the performance of their respective undertakings forthwith upon cessation of the cause of such excusable delay or failure.

10.8.    No covenant or condition of this Agreement may be waived except by the written consent of the waiving Party, and forbearance or indulgence by the waiving Party in any regard whatever shall not constitute a waiver of the covenant or condition to be performed by the other Party and until complete performance by the other Party of the covenant or condition, the waiving Party shall be entitled to invoke any remedy available under this Agreement or at law, despite the forbearance or indulgence.

10.9.    If any part of this Agreement is found to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, that part shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity of the remainder, which remainder shall remain in full force.

Schedule B: Wire Transfer and Payment Information




All (U.S. Dollar) payments to ETI shall be made by wire transfer payable and submitted to: 

[account information to be determined at time of payment]

 

 

Schedule C: Amendment and Waiver of Default




This document amends the attached XYO Licensing Agreement (hereinafter called “the Agreement”) dated the 27th day of January, 2005, between:

 

ETI Technologies Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Barbados (hereinafter called "ETI")

 

and

 

Perpetual Industries Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Nevada (hereinafter called “Perpetual”),

 

and shall henceforth form Schedule C to the Agreement.




The parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

 

1.   ETI waives any rights under paragraph 9.3 to terminate the Agreement in the event of non-payment by Perpetual. ETI affirms that Perpetual is not now, has never been, and shall not for the lifetime of the Agreement be considered to be in default or to have committed a material breach of the contract for not paying royalty fees, license fees, or interest fees on their due dates. 



In respect of the spirit and intention of the Agreement, ETI recognizes and endorses in good faith Perpetual’s business plan and marketing and sales strategy. ETI is not concerned about, nor does ETI doubt Perpetual’s ability to pay, any outstanding amounts as referred to in the Agreement. Perpetual has satisfied ETI as to its intentions of repayment, and therefore ETI does not hold any breach to have occurred due to outstanding amounts owing.



The outstanding balance on July 31, 2010, net of payments to ETI and net of patent fees paid on behalf of ETI, is recognized to be comprised of:

 

Royalty fees (cumulative as of 7/31/10)                 $150,000

Royalty fee interest (cumulative as of 7/31/10)           $4,058

Licensing fees (cumulative as of 7/31/10)               $185,174 

Licensing fee interest (cumulative as of 7/31/10)       $43,835 

 

The accumulating interest shall be sufficient consideration for any growing balance resulting from Perpetual’s non-payment. 

 

2.   In the event of termination of the Agreement, ETI agrees to grandfather any and all agreements entered into by PI with respect to the manufacture or sublicense of XYO. All such agreements would be assigned to ETI as the licensor, and all terms and conditions would remain in effect and be completely honored by ETI.

 

In witness whereof, the Parties have caused this Schedule C: Amendment and Waiver of Default to be executed effective the 31st day of July, 2010.
