ensuring the commercialization of the Centre Intellectual Property, in
collaboration with the University where appropriate. To this end, the Centre
shall have and the Participant hereby grants to the Centre the exclusive rights
to obtain a world-wide, exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to make,
use, reproduce, sell, modify and sub-license (with a right to further
sub-license) Centre Intellectual Property. These rights shall be subject to a
license agreement consisting of standard terms and negotiated special terms as
outlined in Schedule "F" to the UC Agreement. This license shall be perpetual
and irrevocable subject to the conditions as set out in Schedule "F" to the UC
Agreement. The perpetual terms of the license may be withdrawn and the license
revoked upon reasonable notice of the Owner(s) if the Centre fails to pursue
commercialization of a particular Centre Intellectual Property within a
reasonable time. The University shall retain the right to use such Centre
Intellectual Property for research and educational purposes subject to
agreements related to Confidential Information.



(c) Revenue Sharing. Except as otherwise provided for
a particular University Project, Net Revenues derived from Centre Intellectual
Property shall be divided as follows: one third to the Centre; and the remainder
among the University and Inventors according to University policy.



(d) Termination. The Participant acknowledges and
agrees that if the Centre ceases to carry on the research program related to the
Centre Intellectual Property, or if the funding of the research program is

and to the Centre Intellectual Property.



(e) Disclosure; Patents. The Participant shall keep
the Centre fully and promptly informed on an on-going basis of the development
of Centre Intellectual Property, as well as of applications for intellectual
property Protection (if any) filed in respect of Centre Intellectual Property.
The Participant shall use the University invention disclosure form set out in
Appendix Dl hereto. The Centre shall have the first right to file for
intellectual property Protection on the Centre Intellectual Property. If, within
three months after receipt of the relevant completed disclosure form, the Centre
has not filed for intellectual property Protection, in respect of the Centre
Intellectual Property, the University or the Inventor shall be entitled to do
so.



(f) Confidentiality. The Participant shall take
reasonable measures, and at least the same measures as it takes in respect of
his/her own Confidential Information, to keep confidential the Confidential
Information provided to it by the Centre or the University. The Participant
shall not use the Confidential Information of the Centre or the University for
any purpose except that for which it was initially provided to the party.

        compilation of information, data, database, or any improvement thereof,
        and including all related intellectual property rights such as patents,
        copyrights, trade secrets, trade-marks and other proprietary rights,
        which was, in whole or in part, conceived or reduced to practice using
        funds provided by the Centre under the UC Agreement.

        respect of Centre Intellectual Property (or received by the University
        if there is a mutual agreement to have the University administer the
        Centre Intellectual Property) remaining after all out-of-pocket and
        arm's length expenses relating to the legal protection (including
        patenting and licensing costs) and the commercialization of such Centre
        Intellectual Property have been recovered and any payments with respect
        to obligations to third party sponsors have been made. For greater
        clarity, Net Revenues will include shares, securities or other ownership
        interests issued as consideration for the use or exploitation of Centre

3. PUBLICATION



(a) Pre-Disseinination Review. The Participant shall
give written notice to the Centre and the University at least 30 days in advance
of any public disclosure of research or development results, data or technical
information relating to the Centre Intellectual Property (including any public
defence of a thesis that contains relevant information or submission of the
thesis or research results to external reviewers or anyone else outside of the
University) in order to permit the Centre to exercise its rights under Section 2
(b) as well as to advise on the commercial value and/or patentability of the
information disclosed. The Centre shall have 20 days from receipt of the notice
to respond to the University; the Centre's failure to respond shall be deemed to
be approval of the disclosure. If the Centre elects to file for protection of
the Centre Intellectual Property, pursuant to sub-section 2(e) above, the
Participant shall delay publication or disclosure for a period of 60 days from
the receipt of the Centre's written request to enable the Centre to secure
adequate protection of Centre Intellectual Property that would be affected by
said publication or disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, the Participant may
publish and disclose the Centre Intellectual Property and research results
arising from the performance of University Projects and shall acknowledge the
support of the Centre in all such publications.



(b) Theses. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose
restrictions on the content or handling, for academic purposes, of theses of the
Participant in a University Project. Nonetheless, the Centre may request, in
writing, that the Participant delay publication or disclosure of a thesis for a
period not to exceed one (1) year from the date of intended publication or
disclosure, only if such publication or disclosure would prevent protection or
commercialization of any Centre Intellectual Property or research results
arising from performance of a University Project. The Centre may also request
that a thesis defence be held in camera and that the members of the thesis
examination board, including the external examiner(s), be required to sign a
non-disclosure agreement. The Centre acknowledges that this Agreement does not
obligate the Participant to delay publication or disclosure of a thesis.



4. GOVERNING LAW

accordance of the laws of the Province of Ontario.
