Article
4 - PAYMENTS; ROYALTIES AND REPORTS


 


4.1 License
Royalties. In consideration for Licensor’s granting of the license granted under Section 2.1, Licensee shall
pay Licensor a perpetual license royalty as follows:


 


(a) 5%
of the per barrel spot price of West Texas Intermediate (averaged over the quarter) for each barrel of oil produced post-processing
using the Technology in the Territory by Licensee; and


 


(b) 5%
of the per barrel spot price of West Texas Intermediate (averaged over the quarter) for each barrel of oil produced post-processing
using the Technology in the Territory by Sublicensee.


 


4.2 Reports;
Payment of Royalty. During the Term, Licensee shall furnish to Licensor a quarterly written report for the Calendar Quarter
showing the number of barrels of heavy oil processed by Licensee and each of its Sublicensees during the reporting period and
the royalties payable under this Agreement. Reports shall be due on the thirtieth (30th) day following the close of each Calendar
Quarter. Royalties shown to have accrued by each royalty report shall be due and payable on the date such royalty report is due.
Licensee shall keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined.


 


4.3 Audits.


 


(a) Upon
the written request of Licensor and not more than once in each Calendar Year, Licensee shall permit an independent certified public
accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by Licensor and reasonably acceptable to Licensee, to have access during
normal business hours to such of the records of Licensee as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty
reports hereunder for any year ending not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of such request. The accounting firm
shall disclose to Licensor only whether the royalty reports are correct or incorrect and the amount of any discrepancy. No other
information shall be provided to Licensor.


 


(b) If
such accounting firm correctly identifies a discrepancy made during such period, the appropriate party shall pay the other party
the amount of the discrepancy within thirty (30) days of the date Licensor delivers to Licensee such accounting firm’s written
report so correctly concluding, or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be
paid by Licensor; provided, however, that if such audit uncovers a non-payment or an underpayment of royalties by Licensee to
Licensor during the audited period that exceeds five percent (5%) of the total royalties owed, then the fees of such accounting
firm shall be paid by Licensee.


 


(c) Licensor
shall cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with Licensee and/or its Related Parties
prior to conducting an audit.


 


4.4 Payment

of the applicable Calendar Quarter.


 


4.5 Taxes.
All payments due hereunder shall be paid in full without deduction of taxes or other fees which may be imposed by any government
and which shall be paid by Licensee; provided, however, that any withholding tax required to be withheld by Licensee
on royalty payments under the laws of any country in the Territory on behalf of Licensor will be timely paid by Licensee to the
appropriate governmental authority, and Licensee will furnish Licensor with proof of payment of such tax. Any such tax actually
withheld may be deducted from royalty payments due to Licensor under this Agreement. If at any time legal restrictions prevent
the prompt remittance of part or all of any payments owed by Licensee to Licensor hereunder with respect to any country in the
Territory, payment shall be made through any lawful means or methods that may be available, and as Licensee shall reasonably determine
is appropriate.


 




    	6



    	 



    


 


4.6 Overdue
Payments. Any payments to be made by Licensee hereunder that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under
this Agreement shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, at two (2) percentage points above the prime rate of interest
as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the date payment is due, with interest calculated based on the number of days
that payment is delinquent.

5.1 Filing,
Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents. Licensor shall file, prosecute and maintain in the Territory the Patent Rights. Licensor
shall give Licensee an opportunity to review the text of any patent application before filing, shall consult with Licensee with
respect thereto, and shall supply Licensee with a copy of the application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and

of Licensee to Prosecute and Maintain Patents and Patent Applications. Licensor shall give notice to Licensee of any desire
to cease prosecution and/or maintenance of Patent Rights on a country by country basis in the Territory and, in such case, shall
permit Licensee, in its sole discretion, to continue prosecution or maintenance of such Patent Rights at its own expense. If Licensee
elects to continue prosecution or maintenance, Licensor shall execute such documents and perform such acts at Licensor’s
expense as may be reasonably necessary for Licensee to perform such prosecution or maintenance on behalf of and in the name of
Licensor.


 


5.3 Interference,
Opposition, Reexamination and Reissue. 


 


(a) Each
party shall, within ten (10) days of learning of such event, inform the other party of any request for, or filing or declaration

6.1 Enforcement
and Defense.


 


(a) As
soon as practicable, each of Licensor and Licensee shall give the other party notice of (i) any infringement of the Patent Rights,
(ii) any claim of invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of the Patent Rights or (iii) any misappropriation or misuse
of the Know-How that may come to such party’s attention. Licensee and Licensor shall thereafter consult and cooperate fully
to determine a course of action, including but not limited to the commencement of legal action by either or both Licensee and
Licensor, to terminate any infringement, or claim of invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement, of the Patent Rights or
any misappropriation or misuse of the Know-How. However, Licensor, upon notice to Licensee, shall have the first right to initiate
and prosecute such legal action at its own expense and in the name of Licensor and Licensee, or to control the defense of any
declaratory judgment action relating to the Patent Rights or the Know-How. Licensor shall promptly inform Licensee if it elects
not to exercise such first right and Licensee shall thereafter have the right to either initiate and prosecute such action or
to control the defense of such declaratory judgment action in the name of Licensee and, if necessary, Licensor; provided
that Licensee shall not admit the invalidity or fail to defend the validity of any the Patent Right without Licensor’s prior
consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each party shall have the right to be represented by counsel of its own choice.
In connection with any action, Licensee and Licensor will cooperate fully and will provide each other with any information or
assistance that either may reasonably request. Each party shall keep the other informed of developments in any action or proceeding,
including, to the extent permissible by law, consultation on and approval of any settlement, the status of any settlement negotiations
and the terms of any offer related thereto.


 


(b) In
the event that Licensor elects not to initiate and prosecute an action as provided in Section 6.1(a), and Licensee elects
to do so, the costs of any agreed-upon course of action, including the costs of any legal action commenced or the defense of any
declaratory judgment, shall be shared equally by Licensor and Licensee; provided, that in the event that Licensee is unable
to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name, Licensor will join such action voluntarily and will execute and cause
its Affiliates to execute all documents necessary for Licensee to initiate litigation to prosecute and maintain such action.


 


(c) Any
recovery obtained by either or both Licensee and Licensor in connection with or as a result of any action contemplated by this
Section 6.1, whether by settlement or otherwise, shall be shared in order as follows:


 


(i) the
party that initiated and prosecuted the action shall recoup all of its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action;


 




    	8



    	 



    


 


(ii) the
other party shall then, to the extent possible, recover its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action; and

action receiving 75% of the recovery and the other party receiving 25% of the recovery.


 


6.2 Effect
of Certain Terminations. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 6 to the contrary, in the event of a termination
of this Agreement by either party pursuant to Section 8.2 or by Licensor pursuant to Section 8.3, Licensee shall

its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any claim or suit that has been assumed by the Indemnifying
Party. Neither party shall have the obligation to indemnify the other party in connection with any settlement made without the

for the Technology sold or otherwise provided prior to such expiration or termination. The provisions of Article 1, Article
7, Article 8, Article 9, Article 11, Article 12 and Article 13 and shall survive any expiration

Article
9 - CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE


 


9.1 Confidentiality
Obligation. During the Term and thereafter, except as expressly provided below, each of party shall keep in strictest confidence,
and shall cause its employees and agents, to keep in strictest confidence, the existence, source, content and substance of all
Know-How. Licensee shall not use any Know-How in any way, for its own account or the account of any Third Party, except to the
extent reasonably necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder. Neither party shall disclose any Know-How
to any party, other than furnishing such Know-How to its employees, consultants, manufacturers, investors, potential acquirers,
professional advisers and other Third Parties who are required to have access to the Know-How in connection with the exercise
of such party’s rights and performance of its obligations hereunder; provided that such employees, consultants, manufacturers,
investors, acquirers, professional advisers and other Third Parties are bound by written agreements or, in the case of professional
advisers, ethical duties respecting such Know-How in accordance with the terms of this Article 9.


 


9.2 Exceptions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 9.1 shall not apply to all or any part of the Know-How that (i) is or becomes publicly
known, from no act or failure to act on the part of the party claiming the availability of the exception of this clause (i), (ii)
is disclosed to the party claiming the availability of the exception of this clause (ii) by a Third Party as a matter of right
and without restriction on disclosure, or (iii) is developed independently by the party claiming the availability of the exception
of this clause (iii) without any reliance on or reference to the Know-How.


 


9.3 Disclosures
Required by Law. In the event the disclosure of the Know-How is required by applicable law, judicial or regulatory subpoena
or any securities exchange listing agreement to which a party is a party, the party required to make such disclosure must provide
the other party with prompt written notice of any such requirement in order to afford such other party time either to seek an
appropriate protective order (or other remedy) or a waiver of compliance therewith. If such order or other remedy is not obtained,
the party required to make such disclosure shall disclose only that portion of the subject Know-How that in the opinion of counsel
to such party is legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential
treatment will be accorded the Know-How. The party to make the applicable disclosure shall cooperate reasonably with the other
party in all respects in seeking to obtain a protective order or other remedy or otherwise to diligently contest or limit the
required disclosure.

Article
13- MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


 


13.1 Force
Majeure. Neither party shall be held liable to the other party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement
for failure or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by or
results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, such as embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared
or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, fire, floods, or other acts of
God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other party. The affected party shall notify
the other party of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical, and shall promptly undertake all reasonable
efforts necessary to cure such force majeure circumstances.


 




    	14



    	 



    


 


13.2 Subcontractors.
If subcontractors are employed by Licensee, Licensee shall be fully responsible for their acts and omissions and the acts and
omissions of their employees. There shall be no contractual relationship between any such subcontractor and Licensor. Licensee
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensor from and against any and all liability for payment of Licensee’s subcontractors
and suppliers, including without limitation, mechanic’s liens.


 


13.3 Announcements.
Neither party shall originate any publicity, news release or other public announcement (“Announcements”), written
or oral, relating to this Agreement or the existence of an arrangement between the parties, without the prior written approval
of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as otherwise required by law. The foregoing
notwithstanding, Licensor shall have the right to make such Announcements without the consent of Licensee in any prospectus, offering
memorandum, or other document or filing required by applicable securities laws or other applicable law or regulation, provided
that Licensor shall have given Licensee, at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the proposed text for the purpose
of giving Licensee, the opportunity to comment on such text.


 


13.4 Implied
License. No implied licenses are granted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. No licensed rights shall be created by implication
or estoppel.


 


13.5 Relationship
between the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute either party as the agent or representative of the party,
or both parties as joint ventures or partners for any purpose. Each party shall be an independent contractor, not an employee
or partner of the other party, and the manner in which each party renders its services under this Agreement shall be within its
sole discretion. Neither party shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other party, nor shall either party have
authority to speak for, represent or obligate the other party in any way without prior written authority from the other party.


 


13.6 Patent
Marking. To the extent commercially feasible, and consistent with prevailing business practices and applicable law, all Technology
sold pursuant to this Agreement will be marked with the number of each issued patent that applies to such Technology.


 


13.7 Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the patent
laws of the United States, without reference to any rules of conflict of laws, provided that any dispute relating to the
scope, validity, enforceability, infringement or misuse of any Patent Rights shall be governed by, and construed and enforced
in accordance with, the substantive laws of the jurisdiction in which such Patent Right originates.


 


13.8 Entire
Agreement; Amendments. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement sets forth the entire Agreement and understanding of the
parties as to the subject matter hereof, and shall not be subject to any change or modification except by the execution of a written
instrument signed by the parties. Any other express or implied agreements and understandings, either oral or written, are
superseded by the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified, only by a written instrument
duly executed by authorized representatives of the parties.


 


13.9 Severability.
If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affects the substantive rights of the parties. The parties
shall in such an instance use their best efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal
and enforceable provision(s) which, insofar as practical, implement the purposes of this Agreement.

13.10 Headings.
The captions to the several Articles and Sections hereof are not a part of this Agreement, but are merely for convenience to assist
in locating and reading the several Articles and Sections hereof.


 


13.11 Waiver.
The failure of either party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement
shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the
other party. The waiver by either party of any right hereunder, or of any failure of the other party to perform, or of any breach
by the other party, shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach by or failure of such other
party, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.


 


13.12 Assignment/
Change of Control. Except as provided in this Section 13.12, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred,
nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either party without the consent of the other party.
Either party may, without the other party’s consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder (except
as specified below) in connection with a Change of Control. In the event of such Change of Control, such party will promptly (but
in no event later than five (5) days thereafter) notify the other party of such Change of Control. Any assignee shall assume all
assigned obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment not in accordance with this Section 13.12
shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind the successors and assigns
of the parties. A “Change of Control” of a party shall be deemed to occur if such party is involved in a merger,
reorganization or consolidation, or if there is a sale of all or substantially all of such party’s assets or business relating
to this Agreement or if a person or group other than the current controlling person or group shall effectively acquire control
of the management and policies of such party.


 


13.13 Interpretation.
Each party has had the opportunity to consult with counsel in connection with the review, drafting and negotiation of this Agreement.
Accordingly, the rule of construction that any ambiguity in this Agreement shall be construed against the drafting party shall
not apply. This Agreement has been prepared jointly and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either party.
In this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and the word “including” shall be deemed to
be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”


 


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


 


13.15 Remedies.
No remedy referred to in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
remedy referred to in this Agreement or otherwise available under law.
