ARTICLE 2







LICENSE







2.1     Grant of License:








	  	
(a)     Licensor hereby grants to Licensee an exclusive, non-transferable, license for use in the Territory, with a limited right of sublicense, as set forth in Section 2.1(e) below, to allow the Licensee to use the Intellectual Property to make, use, and apply the Technology in the course of Licensee’s business, which, in the absence of the License, would infringe Licensor’s intellectual property;







 



	  	
(b)     Except for the rights granted pursuant to the License, Licensor shall retain all rights, title and interest to the Technology;


 


(c)     Licensee shall be responsible for all of the testing and improvements to the Technology;







 



	  	
(d)    Licensor shall retain all rights to the Improvements, but such Improvements shall also be a part of the License;







     



	  	
(e)    Licensee shall have the right to offer limited royalty-bearing sublicenses to third parties where such third parties are in a position to commercialize the Technology in ways that Licensee cannot accomplish in a competitive manner.  Licensee shall pay Licensor one percent (1.0%) of all royalties and fees received from such third parties. If Licensee receives any non-cash consideration as part of the sublicense consideration (including equity in sublicensee or other entities), Licensor shall have the option to take its portion of the sublicense consideration in kind or in cash based on the fair market value of the non-cash consideration as of the date of receipt by Licensee wherein the fair market value as determined by Licensee’s independent accounting advisors shall equal the cash consideration an unaffiliated, unrelated buyer would pay in an arm’s length sale of a substantially identical item sold in the same quantity, under the same terms, and at the same time and place. Such right to sublicense is subject to the following conditions:













	  	
                           (i)  In each sublicense agreement, the sublicensee will be subject to the terms   and conditions of the license granted to Licensee under this Agreement, and the sublicensee will be prohibited from either assigning its sublicense or granting further sublicenses, without first obtaining approval from Licensor; provided, however, that in the event that such further sublicense is approved, any fee or other consideration paid to sublicensee in consideration of such sub-sublicense will be treated as sublicense consideration as if the sub-sublicensee were a sublicensee. Nevertheless, Licensee may set royalty or other payments at its discretion for its sublicensees, as long as the applicable royalties or other payments of its sublicensees are not more favorable to the sublicensee than the corresponding terms of this Agreement.













	  	
      (ii)  Licensee will forward to Licensor, within thirty (30) days following its execution, a fully executed, complete, and accurate copy written in the English language of each sublicense agreement granted under this Agreement. Licensor’s receipt of such sublicense agreement will not constitute a waiver of any of Licensor’s rights or Licensee’s obligations under the Agreement.
















  





3











  














	  	
      (iii)  Notwithstanding any such sublicense agreement, Licensee will remain primarily liable to Licensor for all of Licensee’s duties and obligations contained in the Agreement, and any act or omission of a sublicensee that would be a breach of the Agreement if performed by Licensee will be deemed to be a breach by Licensee of the Agreement. Each sublicense agreement will contain a right of termination by Licensee in the event that the sublicensee breaches the payment obligations affecting Licensor or any other material terms and conditions of the sublicense agreement that would constitute a breach of the terms and conditions of the Agreement if such acts were performed by Licensee. In the event of such sublicensee breach, and if after a reasonable opportunity to cure as provided in any such sublicense agreement, such sublicensee fails to cure such sublicensee breach, then Licensee will terminate the sublicense agreement unless Licensor agrees in writing that such sublicense agreement need not be terminated.













	  	
     (iv)   Upon termination of the Agreement for any reason, all sublicense agreements will, at Licensor’s option, be (i) assigned to and assumed by Licensor, or (ii) terminated.













	  	  











	  	
         (f)    Licensee shall pay Licensor a royalty of fifteen percent (15%) of all gross revenues resulting from the use of the Technology by Licensee in the first year of executing this amendment, ten percent (10%) the second year and one quarter of one percent (.025%) of all gross revenues resulting from the use of the Technology by Licensee for the remainder of the License Agreement, except as otherwise modified in writing.













	
  

	
2.2 Exclusive Rights. The rights of Licensee to the License in accordance with Section 2.1 will be sole and exclusive, and Licensor will not directly or indirectly compete with Licensee, nor the license, authorize or permit any third party to compete with Licensee with respect to the use of the Technology.













	
  

	
2.3 Assignment of Rights. Licensor and Licensee acknowledge that the respective rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement are personal to the parties and that Licensee, except in the event of the acquisition of Licensee, by any means, or the sale or merger of substantially all of Licensee’s assets to or with a third party, will not assign this Agreement or assign or delegate any or all rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent in writing of Licensor, which consent Licensor may not withhold unreasonably.  If Licensor consents to such assignment or delegation, Licensee will remain jointly and severally liable with the assignee or delegate for the obligations of Licensor under this Agreement.  Subject to the limitations hereinbefore expressed, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.













	
  

	
2.4 Reorganization of Rights. Licensor may choose to reorganize its worldwide licensing strategy, including delegation of certain commercialization rights to a separate entity, with the prior written consent of Licensee, which may not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the full beneficial terms to Licensee embodied in the Agreement shall not be diminished due to such actions.













	
  

	
2.5 Effect of Assignment. Unless otherwise agreed upon between the parties, no assignment of this Agreement, the benefit of this Agreement or any rights, licenses or authorities pursuant to this Agreement will relieve the assigning party from any liability under this Agreement, whether absolute, contingent, due or accruing, which exists as of the date of assignment.













	
  

	
2.6 No Sublicense. Except pursuant to Section 2.1(e), Licensee will not sublicense the benefit of this Agreement or any rights, licenses or authorities pursuant to this Agreement and any attempted violation of this section, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, will be void and of no force and effect.

2.7 Confidential Information. Licensee acknowledges that its entire knowledge of the Technology and the business of Licensor, including, without limitation, the contents of any Documents (defined as all media content, distribution platforms , distribution contracts, drawings, specifications, blueprints, programs and other material in electronic form or otherwise relating in any manner to the Intellectual Property or the Technology) and periodic updates or revisions, in effect from time to time and the designs, plans, prototypes, specifications, standards and operating procedures for the Technology, will be derived from information disclosed to Licensee by Licensor in confidence and that the Documents and such other information are confidential information and/or trade secrets of the Licensor (all of which is herein collectively called the "Licensor Confidential Information") except where such information is in the public domain or is information describing generally accepted business, engineering or manufacturing practices. Accordingly, Licensee agrees that it will maintain the absolute confidentiality of the Intellectual Property, the Documents and such other information, both during and after the term of this Agreement, disclosing same to other employees of Licensee only to the extent necessary for compliance with this Agreement.













	
  

	
        All Licensor Confidential Information obtained by Licensee shall be considered confidential and will not be disclosed by Licensee to any person without the prior written consent of Licensor. Licensor will provide reasonable confidentiality agreements in the form attached hereto as Schedule G to be signed by Licensee and all employees or sub-contractors of Licensee to whom any Licensor Confidential Information will be disclosed, and Licensee will provide or obtain signatures of such confidentiality agreements as the case may be.



















	
  

	
        During the course of its relationship with Licensor, Licensee or its subsidiaries or associates or their employees, agents or consultants may disclose certain proprietary or confidential information to Licensor or its subsidiaries or associates or their employees, agents or consultants. The proprietary or confidential information may be oral or written, may be of a technical or commercial nature, may take the form of plans, drawings, processes, formulae, schedules, reports, projections, analyses, programs, prints, recordings, lists or other compilations of information, and may relate to Licensee, its vendors, employees, stockholders or customers. All of such proprietary information and confidential information is herein collectively called the “Licensee Confidential Information”.













	
  

	
         Any Licensee Confidential Information obtained by Licensor will be considered confidential and will not be disclosed by Licensor to any person without the prior written consent of Licensee. Licensee agrees that the Licensor Confidential Information, and all rights to the Licensor Confidential Information, which has been or will be disclosed to Licensee, as well any improvement or technology using, relating to or incorporating the Licensor Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of Licensor, and shall be held in trust for the benefit of Licensor.  Licensee agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, deal with, use, or exploit the Licensor Confidential Information without Licensor's prior written consent. With regard to any improvement or new technology using, relating to or incorporating the Licensor Confidential Information, Licensee agrees to assign to Licensor all right, title and interest in such improvements or technology, any copyright, trademark, industrial design, patent applications and copyrights, trademarks, industrial designs, patents granted thereto, the sole right to file such applications and Licensee agrees to assist Licensor in obtaining reissues, divisions, renewals or extensions of any such applications and to do any act required to aid Licensor in obtaining and enforcing proper intellectual property protection.








	
  

	
               








	
  

	
       The foregoing restrictions do not apply to information which:







 



	  	
(a)    at the time of disclosure was in the public domain as evidenced by a printed publication or otherwise;


(b)    after disclosure becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise, other than by action of the disclosing party;













	  	
(c)    was in the possession of the disclosing party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party and was not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the non-disclosing party; or













	  	
(d)    the disclosing party rightfully receives from an independent third party who did not receive such information, directly or indirectly, from the other party with limitation or restriction on its use.
















  





5











  









	
  

	
     The obligations contained in this Article will continue notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or any confidentiality agreements.













	
  

	
      The products or proceeds of the services performed by Licensee under this Agreement including, but not limited to, documents, written materials, programs, documentation, designs, discs and tapes shall be and remain the property of Licensor and Licensee shall be able to use such written materials, programs, documentation, designs, discs and tapes for the purposes of carrying out its obligations under this Agreement while the Agreement is in effect.













	
  

	
      Licensee will, however, notify Licensor immediately of any alleged, possible, or suspected infringement, passing off, or challenge to the use of any of the Intellectual Property or claim by any person to any rights in any similar trademarks or names of which Licensee is or becomes aware. Licensor agrees to execute any and all instruments and documents, render such assistance and do such acts and things as may be, in the opinion of Licensee, acting reasonably, necessary or advisable to protect and maintain the interests of Licensor in any such litigation or proceedings or to otherwise protect and maintain the interest of Licensor in the Intellectual Property.













	
  

	
Licensee will have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute infringement of any of the intellectual property related to the Technology at its own expense. Licensee will not settle or compromise any such suit in a manner that imposes any obligations or restrictions on Licensor or grants any rights to any intellectual property of the Technology, without Licensor’s prior written consent. At the time of filing any infringement enforcement action against a third party, Licensor and Licensee will determine how any damages awarded will be distributed between Licensor and Licensee; provided, however, that in no event will Licensor’s distribution be less than an amount that would have been due to Licensor as sublicense fees as if the litigation recovery had been sublicense consideration. In such a situation Licensee will recoup 100% of its entire litigation expenses first before any calculation is made with regard to the division of damages awarded. In the event that Licensee is not successful in winning a litigation case, Licensee may deduct from future royalty and sublicense fees fifty percent of such litigation costs.













	
  

	
2.8 No Agency or Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes or deems the parties to be partners or joint ventures in relation to the distribution or marketing of the Products, nor to create the relationship of principal and agent or master and servant between the parties, or any other form of legal association which would impose liability upon one party for any act or failure to act by the other party.













	
  

	
2.9 Term. The term ("Term") of this Agreement and of the rights, authorities and licenses granted to the Licensee pursuant to this Agreement for (i) the Technology, (ii) any improvements of or to the Technology, or (iii) any product which embodies the Technology or such improvements shall commence upon execution of this Agreement and continue for thirty (30) years, provided that the Licensee is not in breach or default of any of the terms or conditions contained in this Agreement.













	
  

	
2.10 Renewal. Subject to written mutual agreement between Licensor and Licensee, this Agreement may be renewed.

(e)  

	
Licensee will maintain, and cause its sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate books and records that enable all royalties payable under the Agreement to be verified. The records for each calendar quarter will be maintained for three (3) years after the submission of each quarterly activity report of Licensor.

Licensor shall have the right to make an enquiry in regard of such reports within 30 days following the receipt of such report and upon the expiry of 30 calendar days from the receipt of such report or 10 calendar days from the receipt of the explanation of any enquiry, such report or explanation shall be deemed to be acceptable and final.







         



	  	
 (f) 

	
Upon prior notice to Licensee and its sublicensees, and at Licensor’s expense, Licensor or its representatives or its appointed accountants will have access to such books and records relating to gross sales as necessary to conduct a review or audit of gross sales and verify all royalty reports submitted and royalty payments. Such access will be available to Licensor upon not less than ten (10) days’ written notice to Licensee and its sublicensees, not more than once each calendar year of the Term, during normal business hours, and once a year for three years after the expiration or termination of the Agreement. If an audit of Licensee’s records indicates that Licensee has underpaid royalties by more than (i) three percent (3%), or (ii) five thousand dollars ($5,000), whichever is greater, for the records so audited, Licensee will pay the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Licensor and its representatives and accountants, if any, in connection with the review or audit, and Licensee will immediately remit such royalties and any accrued interest to Licensor. Further, whenever Licensee and its sublicensees has its books and records audited by an independent certified public accountant, Licensee and its sublicensees will, within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of such audit, provide Licensor with a written statement, certified by said auditor, setting forth the calculation of royalties due to Licensor over the time period audited as determined from the books and records of Licensee.

Accordingly, Binary agrees that it will maintain the absolute confidentiality of the Intellectual Property, the Documents and such other information, both during and after the term of this Agreement, disclosing same to other employees of Binary only to the extent necessary for compliance with this Agreement.


 


All Licensor Confidential Information obtained by Binary shall be considered confidential and will not be disclosed by Binary to any person without the prior written consent of Licensor. Licensor will provide reasonable confidentiality agreements as provided for in the form attached hereto as Schedule C to be signed by Binary and all employees or sub-contractors of Binary to whom any Licensor Confidential Information will be disclosed, and Binary will provide or obtain signatures of such confidentiality agreements as the case may be.


 


During the course of its relationship with Licensor, Binary or its subsidiaries or associates or their employees, agents or consultants may disclose certain proprietary or confidential information to Licensor or its subsidiaries or associates or their employees, agents or consultants. The proprietary or confidential information may be oral or written, may be of a technical or commercial nature, may take the form of plans, drawings, processes, formulae, schedules, reports, projections, analyses, programs, prints, recordings, lists or other compilations of information, and may relate to Binary, its vendors, employees, stockholders or customers. All such proprietary information and confidential information is herein collectively called the “Binary Confidential Information.”


 


Any Licensor Confidential Information obtained by Licensor will be considered confidential and will not be disclosed by Licensor to any person without the prior written consent of Binary. Binary agrees that the Licensor Confidential Information, and all rights to the Licensor Confidential Information, which has been or will be disclosed to Binary, as well any improvement or technology using, relating to or incorporating the Licensor Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of Licensor, and shall be held in trust for the benefit of Licensor.  Binary agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, deal with, use, or exploit the Licensor Confidential Information without Licensor's prior written consent. With regard to any improvement or new technology using, relating to or incorporating the Licensor Confidential Information, Binary agrees to assign to Licensor all right, title and interest in such improvements or technology, any copyright, trademark, industrial design, patent applications and copyrights, trademarks, industrial designs, patents granted thereto, the sole right to file such applications and Binary agrees to assist Licensor in obtaining reissues, divisions, renewals or extensions of any such applications and to do any act required to aid Licensor in obtaining and enforcing proper intellectual property protection.


 


The foregoing restrictions do not apply to information which:


 


(1)           At the time of disclosure was in the public domain as evidenced by a printed publication or otherwise;


 


(2)           After disclosure becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise, other than by action of the disclosing party;


 






  





47











  








(3)           Was in the possession of the disclosing party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party and was not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the non-disclosing party; or


 


(4)           The disclosing party rightfully receives from an independent third party who did not receive such information, directly or indirectly, from the other party with limitation or restriction on its use.


 


The obligations contained in this Article will continue notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or any confidentiality agreements.


 


The products or proceeds of the services performed by Binary under this Agreement including, but not limited to, documents, written materials, programs, documentation, designs, discs and tapes shall be and remain the property of Acquisition and Binary shall be able to use such written materials, programs, documentation, designs, discs and tapes for the purposes of carrying out its obligations under this Agreement while the Agreement is in effect.


 


Binary will, however, notify Acquisition immediately of any alleged, possible, or suspected infringement, passing off, or challenge to the use of any of the intellectual property related to the Binary Platform or licensed technology or claim by any person to any rights in any similar trademarks or names of which Binary is or becomes aware. Licensor agrees to execute any and all instruments and documents, render such assistance and do such acts and things as may be, in the opinion of Binary, acting reasonably, necessary or advisable to protect and maintain the interests of Licensor in any such litigation or proceedings or to otherwise protect and maintain the interest of Licensor in the Intellectual Property.


 


Binary will have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute infringement of any of the intellectual property related to the Binary Platform or licensed technology at its own expense. Binary will not settle or compromise any such suit in a manner that imposes any obligations or restrictions on Licensor or grants any rights to any intellectual property of the Binary Platform or licensed technology, without Licensor’s prior written consent. At the time of filing any infringement enforcement action against a third party, Licensor and Binary will determine how any damages awarded will be distributed between Licensor and Binary; provided, however, that in no event will Licensor’s distribution be less than an amount that would have been due to Licensor as sublicense fees as if the litigation recovery had been sublicense consideration.  In such a situation, Binary will recoup 100% of its entire litigation expenses first before any calculation is made with regard to the division of damages awarded. In the event that Binary is not successful in winning a litigation case, Binary may deduct and set off from future license fees of such litigation or settlement costs.


 


Binary and Acquisition each acknowledge that it and its employees or agents may, in the course of performing its responsibilities under this Agreement, be exposed to or acquire information which is proprietary to or confidential to either of the parties or their affiliated companies or clients. Both parties agrees to hold such information in strict confidence and not to copy, reproduce, sell, assign, license, market, transfer or otherwise dispose of, give or disclose such information to third parties or to use such information for any purposes whatsoever. Both parties shall advise their employees and agents of their obligations to keep such information confidential and to require each such employee or agent having access to confidential information to sign a statement acknowledging his/her confidentiality obligations pursuant to this Section.  Binary also agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Deliverables provided under this Agreement, in whatever form, shall be owned by and constitute valuable trade secrets and confidential information of Acquisition for which Acquisition has paid substantial funds in order to obtain or maintain a competitive market position. All such confidential and proprietary information described herein and any Deliverable provided hereunder, in whatever form, are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Confidential Information."  Each party shall use its best efforts to assist the other in identifying and preventing any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information. Without limitation of the foregoing, both parties shall advise immediately in the event they learn or have reason to believe that any person who has had access to Confidential Information has violated or intends to violate the terms of this Agreement and both parties shall at their own expense cooperate with Acquisition in seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in the name of Acquisition or Binary against any such person.

Binary acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained herein are necessary for the protection of legitimate business interests of Acquisition and are reasonable in scope and content.
