<PAGE>

               (5) No more than one Royalty payment shall be due with respect to
a sale of a particular Licensed Product. No multiple Royalties shall be payable
because any Licensed Product, or its manufacture, sale or use is covered by more
than one Valid Claim.

               (6) Royalties due under this Paragraph 3.A. shall be payable on a
country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis until the
expiration of the last-to-expire issued Valid Claim covering such Licensed
Product in such country, or if no such patent has issued in a country, until
there are no remaining pending Valid Claims covering such Licensed Product in
such country.

               (7) Nothwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.5 and 3.6(a), no
royalty shall accrue pursuant to Paragraph 3.A(1) on Net Sales attributable to
the fixed VS2 intraocular lens and inserting devices or the manufacturing
process of the fixed VS2 intraocular lenses unless and until C & C Vision, Inc.
as a sublicense under this Agreement, has received, pursuant to a sublicense,
aggregate consideration of $2,000,000 consisting of cash, property or any
combination thereof; provided that such Net Sales are not attributable in whole
or in part to accommodating lens technology related to either the VS2
intraocular lens and inserting devices or the manufacturing process of the VS2
intraocular lens.

          B. Calculation of Royalties. Royalties shall be payable in U.S.
currency within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar quarter for the
term specified in Paragraph 8. below, beginning with the calendar quarter in
which the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product occurs which shall in no
event be prior to the date which is three (3) years from the date of this
Agreement. Each payment shall be accompanied by a statement showing Net Sales
for each country in the Territory and calculation of the Royalties due. All such
statements shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of Licensee. There
shall be deducted from all such payments taxes required to be withheld by any
governmental authority and Licensee shall provide copies of receipts for such
taxes to BV along with each royalty payment. Any necessary conversion of
currency into United States dollars shall be at the applicable rate of exchange
of Citibank, N.A., in New York, New York, on the last day of the calendar
quarter in which such transaction occurred. Payments which are delayed beyond
the ninety (90) days after the end of the quarter in which they become due shall
bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate as reported by Chase Manhattan
Bank, New York, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent. If
at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of any Royalties
owed on Net Sales in any jurisdiction, Licensee may notify BV and make such
payments by depositing the amount thereof in local currency in a bank account or
other depository in such country in the name of BV, and Licensee shall have no
further obligations including any interest obligations under this Agreement with
respect thereto.

          C. Records. Licensee shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates and
Sublicensees of either, to keep, full and accurate books and records in
sufficient detail so that sums due BV hereunder can be properly calculated. Such
books and records shall be maintained for at least three (3) years after the
Royalty reporting period(s) to which they relate. During the term hereof and for
three (3) calendar years thereafter, Licensee shall permit, and shall cause its
Affiliates to permit, and


                                       -4-

<PAGE>

use reasonable efforts to have its Sublicensees permit certified independent
accountants designated by BV, to whom Licensee has no reasonable objection, to
examine its books and records solely for the purpose of verifying the accuracy
of the written statements submitted by Licensee and sums paid or payable. BV
may conduct such examination no more than once in any calendar year and conduct
no more than one audit of any period. After completion of any such examination,
BV shall promptly notify Licensee in writing of any proposed modification to
Licensee's statement of sums due and payable. If Licensee accepts such
modification, or if the parties agree on other modifications, one party shall
promptly pay or credit the other in accordance with such resolution. Such
examination shall be made at the expense of BV, except that if such examination
discloses a discrepancy of ten percent (10%) or more in the amount of Royalties
and other payments due BV, then Licensee shall reimburse BV for the cost of such
examination.

     4. Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents

          A. Prosecution and Maintenance.

               (1) Licensee shall be responsible for the filing, preparation,

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

from any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party against a Licensor
Indemnitee, arising out of or in connection with any misrepresentation with
regard to, or breach of, any of the representations and warranties of Licensee
set forth in Paragraph 5.E., except to the extent due to the negligence or
wilful misconduct of Licensors.

               (2) Licensors. Licensors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify,

damages, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and
professional fees and other expenses of litigation and/or arbitration) (a
"Liability") resulting from any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third
party against a Licensee Indemnitee, arising out of or in connection with any
misrepresentation with regard to, or breach of, any of the representations and
warranties of Licensors set forth in Paragraphs A through D, except, to the
extent due to the negligence or wilful misconduct of Licensee.

party in writing of such alleged Liability. The indemnifying party shall have

admission of liability or attempt to settle any claim without the prior written
consent of the indemnifying party, which such party shall not be required to

          G. Insurance. At such time as any product, process or service relating

or by a Sublicensee or agent of Licensee, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and
expense, procure and maintain policies of comprehensive general liability
insurance in amounts not less than $2,000,000 per incident and $2,000,000 annual

retentions which are in excess of $250,000 annual aggregate), such
self-insurance program must be reasonably acceptable to the Licensors. The
minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under these provisions shall not
be construed to create a limit of Licensee's liability with respect to its
indemnification obligation under Paragraph 5.E of this Agreement. Licensee shall
provide any Licensor with written evidence of such insurance upon written
request of such Licensor. Licensee shall provide each of the Licensors with
written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal
or material change in such insurance. Licensee shall maintain such comprehensive
general liability insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this
Agreement during the period that any product, process, or service, relating to,
or developed pursuant to, this Agreement is being commercially distributed or
sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by Licensee
or by a Sublicensee or agent of Licensee.

     6. Confidentiality.

          A. Confidentiality, Publications and Data Access. All information
submitted by one party to the other concerning the invention(s) claimed in the
Licensed Patents, Licensed Technology and Licensed Products identified as
confidential at the time of disclosure shall be considered as confidential
("Confidential Information") and shall be utilized only pursuant to the licenses
granted hereunder. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of ten
(10) years thereafter, no party shall disclose to any third party any
Confidential Information received from any other party without the specific
written consent of such party. The foregoing shall not apply where such
Confidential Information a) was or becomes public through no fault of the
receiving party, b) was, at the time of receipt, already in the possession of
receiving party as evidenced by its prior written records, c) was obtained from
a third party legally entitled to use and disclose the same, d) is independently
developed by the receiving party without use of any Confidential Information of
the disclosing party, or e) is required by law to be disclosed to a court or
governmental agency.

          B. Permitted Use and Disclosures. Notwithstanding Paragraph 6.A.
above, each party hereto may use or disclose information disclosed to it by any
other party to the extent such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary in
filing or prosecuting patent applications, prosecuting or defending litigation,
complying with applicable governmental regulations or otherwise submitting
information to tax or other governmental authorities, conducting clinical
trials, or making a permitted sublicense or otherwise exercising its rights
hereunder, provided that if a party is required to make any such disclosure of
another party's confidential information, other than pursuant to a
confidentiality agreement, it will give reasonable advance notice to the latter
party of such disclosure and, save to the extent inappropriate in the case of
patent applications, will use its best efforts to secure confidential treatment
of such information prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders
or otherwise).

          C. Confidential Terms. Except as expressly provided herein, each party
agrees not to disclose any terms of this Agreement to any third party without
the consent of the other parties; provided, disclosures may be made as required
by securities or other applicable laws, or to actual or prospective investors or
corporate partners, or to a party's accountants, attorneys and other
professional advisors.

          D. Publications. Licensors shall provide to Licensee copies of any
proposed written publication by Licensors containing any Confidential
Information and, to the extent Licensors are aware of them, proposed
publications containing any information relating to the Licensed Patents.
Licensee agrees to provide copies of any proposed written publication of
Licensee, its Sublicensees and Affiliates of either of them to Licensors. The
parties shall provide copies of such proposed written publications at least
ninety (90) days in advance of publication. In addition, the topic and contents
of any proposed oral disclosures regarding the Licensed Patents which will be
made to third persons by Licensors shall be disclosed in writing to Licensee at
least thirty (30) days prior to any proposed oral presentation. The receiving
party may object to such proposed publication or disclosure on the grounds that
(i) it contains patentable subject matter that needs patent protection or (ii)
that the publication contains Confidential Information of the objecting party.
At the request of


                                       -8-

<PAGE>

the objecting party, Confidential Information of such party shall be deleted
from the publication or oral disclosure.

     7. Infringement. In the event of an infringement of a Licensed Patent the
following shall apply:

          A. Notice. Each party shall give the others written notice if one of
them becomes aware of any infringement by a third party of any Licensed Patent.
Upon notice of any such infringement, the parties shall promptly consult with
one another with a view toward reaching agreement on a course of action to be
pursued.

          B. Licensee's Right to Bring Infringement Action.

               (1) If a third party infringes any patent included in the
Licensed Patents, Licensee and any Sublicense shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to institute and prosecute an action or proceeding to abate such
infringement and to resolve such matter by settlement or otherwise. Licensee
shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of any action or proceeding
against infringers which Licensee initiates. Licensors shall cooperate fully in
such action, including without limitation, by joining as a party plaintiff if
required to do so by law to maintain such action or proceeding, and by executing
and making available such documents as Licensee may reasonably request. Licensee
agrees to promptly reimburse Licensors for its reasonable third party
out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in joining an action or proceeding or
cooperating with Licensee. Licensors may be represented by counsel in any such
legal proceedings, at Licensors' own expense, acting in an advisory but not
controlling capacity.

               (2) The prosecution, settlement, or abandonment of any action or
proceeding under Paragraph 7.B. shall be at Licensee's reasonable discretion
provided that Licensee shall not have any right to surrender any of Licensors'
rights to the Licensed Patents without the Consent of the Licensors.

               (3) Except as provided herein, all amounts of every kind and
nature recovered from an action or proceeding of infringement by Licensee shall
belong to Licensee. After deduction of the fees and expenses of both parties to
this Agreement, any remaining amounts recovered shall be considered Net Sales
under this Agreement and subject to Royalty payments in accordance with
Paragraph 3.

          C. Infringement Defense.

               (1) If any party, or any Sublicensee of Licensee, receives notice
of any claim that the manufacture, use or sale of a Licensed Product infringes
the rights of a third party, such party shall promptly give notice to the other
parties. As soon as practicable after receipt or giving of such notice Licensee
(or, at the election of the Licensee, any Sublicensee) shall defend, institute,
prosecute and control any action or proceeding with respect to such
infringement.


                                       -9-
<PAGE>

               (2) The settlement or abandonment of any action or proceeding
under Paragraph 7.C shall be at Licensee's reasonable discretion, including,
without limitation, procuring for Licensee (and any Sublicensee) the right to
continue using the infringing Licensed Patent or Licensed Technology, or
replacing or modifying the Licensed Product so that it becomes non-infringing,
provided that Licensee shall not have any right to surrender any of Licensors'
rights to the Licensed Patents without the consent of the Licensors.

               (3) Licensee (and any Sublicensee) may deduct such reasonable
expenses and costs incurred in connection with defending such infringement
action or proceeding, or incurred in connection with the claims of infringement
from any Royalties payable to the Licensors hereunder, including reasonable
attorney's fees, in connection with such suit, until such time as such expenses
have been fully reimbursed; provided, that in deducting such reasonable expenses
and costs, the Licensee (and any Sublicensee) shall only deduct up to a maximum
of fifty percent (50%) of the amounts due under Paragraph 3 hereof.

     8. Term and Expiration. Unless terminated earlier, this Agreement shall
expire on the expiration date of the last to expire of the Licensed Patents. The
term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and unless earlier
terminated as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect on a
country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis until there
are no remaining Royalty payment obligations in a country, at which time the
Agreement shall expire in its entirety in such country. After expiration,
Licensee may continue to use the Licensed Technology without any obligation to
pay Royalties.

     9. Arbitration. If the parties cannot satisfactorily settle any claim,
disagreement or controversy arising out of or related to this Agreement or its
interpretation, performance, nonperformance, breach or their respective rights
and obligations hereunder, such disagreement shall, at the request of either
party, be settled by arbitration as follows:

          A. Panel. All such disputes shall be referred to an arbitration panel
comprised of three persons. The arbitrators shall be persons involved in and
familiar with the licensing and technology transfer field. The arbitration shall
be held as soon as is reasonably possible after selection of the arbitration
panel. The proceedings shall be held in an informal manner as reasonably
determined by the arbitrators. Except for the right of appeal as set forth in
Paragraph 9.B. below, the parties shall be bound by a decision of the
arbitration panel with respect to the matter in dispute. All proceedings of the

          K. Force Majeure. No party shall lose any rights hereunder or be
liable to the other party for damages or losses (except for payment obligations)

occasioned by war, strike, fire, Act of God, earthquake, flood, lockout,

any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control and
not caused by the negligence, intentional conduct or misconduct of the
nonperforming party and the non-performing party has exerted all reasonable
efforts to avoid or remedy such force majeure; provided, however, that in no
event shall a party be required to settle any labor dispute or disturbance.

          L. Joint Action of Licensors. Any action taken by any Licensor

hereby.

          O. Severability. In the event that any provisions of this Agreement
are determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect without said provision. The parties shall in good faith negotiate a
substitute clause for any provision declared invalid or unenforceable, which
shall most nearly approximate the intent of the parties in entering this
Agreement.

          P. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and which together shall
constitute one instrument.

officers, employees, agents, and Affiliates (each a "LICENSEE INDEMNITEE") from
and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses
(including attorneys' and professional fees and other expenses of litigation
and/or arbitration) (a "LIABILITY") resulting from any claim, suit or proceeding
brought by a third party against a Licensee Indemnitee, arising out of or in
connection with the BV/NV Assignment and the transactions contemplated thereby
and hereby or out of any breach of this C&C
<PAGE>
International Consent by any of the Licensors or the Nice Trust. In the event
that any Licensee Indemnitee intends to claim indemnification under this
Paragraph 12, it shall promptly notify the other party in writing of such
alleged Liability. The indemnifying party shall have the right to control the
defense thereof. The affected Licensee Indemnitees shall cooperate fully with
the indemnifying party and its legal representatives in the investigation and
conduct of any Liability covered by this Paragraph 12. The Licensee Indemnitee
shall not, except at its own cost, voluntarily make any payment or incur any
expense with respect to any claim, suit or Liability, or make any admission of
liability or attempt to settle any claim without the prior written consent of
the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

9. Article 10(F) of the C&C International License Agreement shall be amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:

      "10(F). Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto
      and upon their respective successors and assigns. Licensee may transfer or
      assign this Agreement or any of Licensee=s rights hereunder without the
      written consent of Licensors or JSC. Neither JSC nor the Licensors may
      assign or delegate to a successor any of its rights and obligations
      hereunder without the express written consent of Licensee."

10. This C&C International Consent shall be binding on the parties hereto and
upon their respective successors and assigns. Licensee may transfer or assign
this C&C International Consent or any of Licensee=s rights hereunder without the
written consent of Licensors or JSC. Neither JSC, the Licensors, nor the Nice
Trust may assign or delegate to a successor any of its rights and obligations
hereunder without the express written consent of Licensee.

11. All of the covenants and agreements contained in this C&C International
Consent shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective representatives, successors and assigns.

12. This C&C International Consent may be executed in counterparts, all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same C&C International
Consent.

13. This C&C International Consent, and any dispute, including without
limitation any arbitration, arising from the performance or breach hereof shall
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
state of California, without reference to conflicts of laws principles. The
exclusive venue of any dispute arising out of or in connection with the
performance or breach of this Agreement shall be the California state courts or
U.S. district court located in San Francisco, California, and the parties hereby
consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

14. If any provision of this C&C International Consent is held to be illegal or
unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum
extent necessary so that this C&C International Consent will otherwise remain in
full force and effect and enforceable so as to give effect to the intent of the
parties hereunder.

<PAGE>

15. This C&C International Consent shall become effective pursuant to the terms
set forth in Section 3 hereof and only if and when the BV/NV Assignment is
consummated, in which case this C&C International Consent shall become effective
upon the closing date of the BV/NV Assignment; provided, however, that if the
closing of the BV/NV Assignment has not occurred as of the date hereof, then
Licensee shall not give its consent to any assignment of Licensors' rights and
obligations under this C&C International Consent and this C&C International
Consent shall be null and void.

                THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE C&C INTERNATIONAL LICENSE
                                    AGREEMENT

This Third Amendment to the C&C International License Agreement (this "AMENDMENT
#3"), effective as of January 1, 2007 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), is made by and
between C&C Vision International Limited, an Irish corporation and formerly
Medevec Supplies, Ltd. ("LICENSEE") and James Ellwood and Julia Dorothy Kneen as
Trustees of the Nice Trust (the "NICE TRUST"). Licensee and the Nice Trust may
be referred to herein by name or as a "PARTY," or collectively as the "PARTIES."

                                   BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, Licensee entered into that certain license agreement with J. Stuart
Cumming, Eppington Corporation, N.V. and Medevec Licensing B.V. dated October
12, 1998, as amended May 31, 2000 and December 31, 2006 under which Eppington
Corporation, N.V. and Medevec Licensing B.V. granted certain rights and licenses
to Licensee and each party undertook certain obligations to the other (such
license agreement, the "C&C INTERNATIONAL LICENSE AGREEMENT").

WHEREAS, the Nice Trust has been assigned all rights and obligations as
"Licensor" under that certain BV/NV Assignment and Assumption Agreement by and
among J. Stuart Cumming, Eppington Corp. N.V., Medevec Licensing B.V. and James
Ellwood and Julia Dorothy Kneen as Trustees of the Nice Trust dated December 31,
2006 (the "BV/NV ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT").

WHEREAS, the Nice Trust wishes to amend the C&C International License Agreement
to provide for a reduction in the royalty payable by Licensee to the Nice Trust
in order to provide for a royalty to be paid by Licensee to J. Andy Corley,
currently a Director of Licensee, whom the Nice Trust acknowledges has increased
sales of Licensed Products and the growth of Licensee to the economic benefit of
the Nice Trust.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and promises set forth herein
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby expressly acknowledged by the Parties, each of the undersigned
covenants and agrees as follows:

      1.    A new Section 3.D. is hereby added to the C&C International License
            Agreement, and reads as follows:

            "3.D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
            (including, without limitation, the terms of Paragraph 3.A.(1) or
            7.B(3) hereof), after all applicable reductions and off-sets
            (including, without limitation, those set forth in Paragraphs
            3.A.(3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) and 7.C.(3) below) have been applied
            against the amounts owed by Licensee to BV under this Agreement, the
            amounts owed by Licensee to BV hereunder (net of such reductions and
            off-sets) shall be reduced by a further twenty percent (20%), such
            that the actual amounts payable by Licensee to BV under this
            Agreement shall be eighty percent (80%) of what
<PAGE>

            their value would have been calculated to be prior to reduction
            pursuant to this Section 3.D."

      2.    Licensee shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment
            made under the C&C International License Agreement any amounts
            required to be deducted and withheld under the Internal Revenue Code
            (including, without limitation, income and payroll taxes), or any
            provision of state, local or foreign tax law, with respect to the
            making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld,
            such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of the C&C
            International License Agreement as having been paid.

      3.    Each Party represents and warrants that: (i) it has full power and
            authority to enter into and perform this Amendment #3; (ii) its
            entering into of this Amendment #3 will not violate any right of or
            breach any obligation to any third party under any agreement or
            arrangement between such Party and such third party; and (iii) its
            execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly
            authorized by such Party. The Nice Trust further represents and
            warrants that it is a Discretionary Trust established under the laws
            of the Isle of Man, and Licensee further represents and warrants
            that it is a corporation established under the laws of Ireland.

      4.    All of the covenants and agreements contained herein shall be
            binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto
            and their respective representatives, successors and assigns.

      5.    This Amendment #3 and any dispute, including without limitation any
            arbitration, arising from the performance or breach hereof shall be
            governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
            of the State of California, without reference to conflicts of laws
            principles, and the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the
            International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Amendment #3,
            the C&C International License Agreement or the rights or obligations
            of the Parties therein. The exclusive venue of any dispute arising
            out of or in connection with the performance or breach of this
            Amendment #3 shall be the California state courts or U.S. district
            court located in San Francisco, California, and the Parties hereby
            consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

      6.    Capitalized terms undefined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
            to them in the C&C International License Agreement.

      7.    This Amendment #3 may be executed in counterparts, all of which,
            when taken together, shall constitute one and the same Amendment #3.

                [remainder of this page intentionally left blank]
