To the extent that one Party expends time, personnel, expertise, money and other resources to prosecute and maintain Patent rights, which are the responsibilities of the other Party, the expending Party should be fairly compensated for such efforts.  Without waiving the right to subsequently amend this Section 6.2, the Parties agree as follows with regard to the prosecution and maintenance of patent rights:

6.2.1.  Licensor Patent Rights.

6.2.1.1.

LICENSOR shall have the first right and option to file and prosecute any patent applications and to maintain any patents related to the Patented Licensed Technology (except any Improvements made for or by LICENSEE, which are owned by LICENSEE), all at LICENSOR’s expense.

6.2.1.2  If LICENSOR declines the option to file and prosecute any such patent applications or maintain any such patents, it shall give LICENSEE reasonable notice to this effect, sufficiently in advance to permit LICENSEE to undertake such filing, prosecution and/or maintenance without a loss of rights, and thereafter LICENSEE may, upon written notice to LICENSOR, file and prosecute such patent applications and maintain such patents in the name of LICENSOR, at LICENSEE’s expense, provided that LICENSEE shall be entitled to reimbursement for such expenses from LICENSOR to the extent that such expenses are reasonably necessary in light of the purpose of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  

6.2.2.  Joint Patent Rights.

Page 15 of 33

6.2.2.1.  LICENSEE shall have the first right and option to file and prosecute any patent applications and to maintain any patents included in the Joint IP in the name of both Parties. If LICENSEE declines the option to file and prosecute any such patent applications or maintain any such patents, it shall give LICENSOR reasonable notice to this effect, sufficiently in advance to permit LICENSOR to undertake such filing, prosecution and/or maintenance without a loss of rights, and thereafter LICENSOR may, upon written notice to LICENSEE, file and prosecute such patent applications and maintain such patents in the name of both Parties.

6.2.2.2.

Each Party shall bear fifty percent (50%) of all expenses with respect to Joint IP; provided, however, that if a Party does not wish to bear such expenses, then it shall provide notice to the other Party to such effect and, effective as of the date of receipt of such notice, (A) such Joint IP shall be assigned to the other Party, and (B) such Joint IP shall be considered the other Party’s Intellectual Property Right and shall no longer be Joint IP.

6.2.3.  Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate, at its own expense, with the prosecuting Party with respect to the filing, prosecution, maintenance and extension of patents and patent applications pursuant to this Section 6.2, including: 

6.2.3.1.  

The execution of all such documents and instruments and the performance of such acts as may be reasonably necessary in order to permit the prosecuting Party to file, prosecute, maintain or extend patents and patent applications as provided for in this Section 6.2;

6.3  Third Party Infringement. Notwithstanding the provisions in this Section 6.3, the Parties intend that the benefits accruing in connection with any third party infringement shall accrue proportionally among the Parties to the extent each Party invests the time, personnel, money, and other resources to prosecute such third party infringement. To the extent that one Party expends time, personnel, expertise, money and other resources to prosecute third party infringement, which are the responsibilities of the other Party, the expending Party should be fairly compensated for such efforts.  Without waiving the right to subsequently amend this Section 6.3, the Parties agree as follows with regard to third party infringement:

Page 16 of 33

6.3.1.  Licensor’s Patent Right.

6.3.1.1.  Notifications of Third Party Infringement, Each Party agrees to notify the other Party when it becomes aware of the reasonable probability of infringement of the intellectual property of the LICENSOR arising from or relating to the making, using, offering for sale, sale, importation, development or commercialization of any competitive product, or the copying, modification distribution, execution, performance or display of any software therein (“Competitive Infringement”).

6.3.1.2.

Infringement Action. Within ninety (90) days of becoming aware of any Competitive Infringement, LICENSOR shall decide whether to institute an infringement suit or take other appropriate action that it believes is reasonably required to enforce the intellectual property of LICENSOR. If LICENSOR fails to institute such suit or take such action within such ninety (90) day period, then LICENSEE shall have the right at its sole discretion to institute such suit or take other appropriate action in the name of either or both Parties.

6.3.1.3.

 Costs. Each Party shall assume and pay all of its own out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any litigation or proceedings described in this Section 6.3.1, including without limitation the fees and expenses of such Party’s counsel.

6.3.1.4.  

 Recoveries. As any proceeding described in this Section 6.3.1 or any counterclaim or similar claim asserted in a proceeding described in Section 6.5 with respect to the intellectual property of LICENSOR begins, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the allocation between the Parties of any recovery obtained by any Party as a result of such proceeding or counterclaim, by settlement or otherwise, with the goal of ensuring that each Party is compensated in proportion to its loss with respect to such proceeding or counterclaim; provided, however, that in any event such recovery shall first be applied to reimburse each Party for all litigation costs in connection with such proceeding paid by such Party and not otherwise recovered (on a pro rata basis based on each Party’s respective litigation costs, to the extent the recovery is less than all such litigation costs). If the Parties are not able to agree on such an allocation prior to the receipt by either Party of such recovery, the Parties shall request the judge presiding over such proceeding or counterclaim to allocate such recovery to ensure that each

Party is compensated in proportion to its loss with respect to such proceeding or counterclaim and, if such judge cannot or will not do so, the dispute resolution provisions set forth below in this Agreement shall be applied to allocate such recovery to ensure that each Party is compensated in proportion to its loss with respect to such proceeding or counterclaim.

6.3.2.  Joint IP.

6.3.2.1.  Notifications of Third Party Infringement, Each Party shall notify the other Party when it becomes aware of the reasonable probability of infringement of the Joint IP by a Third Party.

Page 17 of 33

6.3.2.2.  Infringement Action. Within ninety (90) days of becoming aware of infringement of the Joint IP, LICENSEE shall decide whether to institute an infringement suit or take other appropriate action that it believes is reasonably required to enforce the Joint IP.

Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Party shall provide to the other an accounting of such costs incurred by such Party during such quarter and the Party which has so incurred fewer costs than the other Party during such quarter shall pay to such other Party, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the other’s accounting, an amount such that each Party has borne fifty percent (50%) of such costs incurred by both Parties.

6.3.2.4.   Recoveries. Any recovery obtained by any Party as a result of any proceeding described in this Section 6.3.2 or from any counterclaim or similar claim asserted in a proceeding described in Section 6.5 with respect to Joint IP, by settlement or otherwise, shall be applied in the following order of priority:

6.3.2.4.1.  first, to reimburse each Party for all out-of-pockets costs incurred by such Party in connection with such proceeding and not otherwise recovered (which, to the extent the recovery is less than all such unrecovered litigation costs, shall be apportioned so that each Party shall have borne fifty percent (50%) of such costs incurred by both Parties from such proceeding); and

6.3.2.4.2.  second, the remainder of the recovery shall be paid fifty percent (50%) to each Party.

6.3.3.  Cooperation; Settlements. In the event that either Party takes action pursuant to subsections 6.3.1 or 6.3.2 above of this Agreement, the other Party shall cooperate with the Party so acting to the extent reasonably possible, including the joining of suit if necessary or desirable. Neither Party shall settle or compromise any claim or proceeding relating to Parties’ intellectual property or Joint IP without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

6.4.  Claimed Infringement; Third Party Actions. In the event that a Party becomes aware of any claim that the development or commercialization of the Biofield Breast Cancer Technology infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party. Each Party shall provide to the other Party copies of any notices it receives from third parties regarding any alleged infringement or misappropriation of third party intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with the development or commercialization of any breast cancer diagnostic product. Such notices shall be provided 

Page 18 of 33

promptly, but in no event after more than fifteen (15) days following receipt thereof. LICENSOR shall not settle any such claim without LICENSEE’s prior written consent.

6.5.  Patent Invalidity Claim. If a third party at any time asserts a claim that any of the Parties’ intellectual property or Joint IP related to this Agreement is invalid or otherwise unenforceable (an “Invalidity Claim”), whether as a defense in an infringement action brought by LICENSEE or LICENSOR pursuant to Section 6.3 or in an action brought against LICENSEE or LICENSOR described in Section 6.4, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in preparing and formulating a response to such Invalidity Claim. Neither Party shall settle or compromise any Invalidity Claim without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.6.  Patent Marking. LICENSEE agrees to comply with the patent marking statutes in each country in which products related to the Patented Licensed Technology are sold by LICENSEE and/or its Affiliates or sublicensees.  LICENSEE agrees to make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Affiliates or sublicensees comply with the patent marking statutes in each country in which products related to the Patented Licensed Technology are sold by its Affiliates or sublicensees.

In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable actions to avoid any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder. 

 

7.3.

All Confidential Information shall be held in strict confidence by each Party and shall be protected, at a minimum, in accordance with the same standard of care that such Party uses in protecting its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event shall such Party use less than a reasonable standard of care.

Page 20 of 33

7.7.  

If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state or custody that any restriction in Section 7 of this Agreement is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or invalid or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portions, and that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state, province, or country.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE shall retain its exclusive rights if and for so long as LICENSEE'S failure to meet such goals set forth herein is due to the breach of this Agreement by LICENSOR or force majeure.  Either Party shall have ninety (90) days to cure a failure in performance under this Section 11.3. LICENSEE may cure a breach hereunder by paying LICENSOR a non-recoupable advance against owed Royalties in the amount required to offset any shortfall.  

11.4.

Immediate Right of Termination.  Either Party shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other Party in the event that the other Party files a petition in bankruptcy or is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or an arrangement pursuant to any bankruptcy law, or if the other Party discontinues or dissolves its business or if a receiver is appointed for the other Party or for the other Party’s business and such receiver is not discharged within 120 days.

11.4.1.

All rights and licenses now or hereafter granted under or pursuant to this Agreement, including under Sections 1 and 6, are rights to “intellectual property” (as defined in Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended). For purposes of clarification and without limiting any of the rights granted hereunder, the debtor Party hereby acknowledges that the following shall constitute embodiments, as such term is used in 11 U.S.C. §365, of the intellectual property licensed under this Agreement: a right to access and to benefit from, and, in the case of any tangible item of which there is a fixed or limited quantity, to obtain a pro rata portion of, each of the following to the extent related to any right or license granted under or pursuant to any Section of this Agreement: (a) software, (b) documentation, and (c) all other embodiments of such intellectual property in the debtor Party’s possession or control or in the possession and control of any third party but which the debtor Party has the right to access or benefit from and to make available to the non-debtor Party. The debtor Party agrees not to interfere with the non-debtor Party’s exercise under the Bankruptcy Code of rights and licenses to intellectual property licensed hereunder (or under any agreement supplemental hereto) and embodiments thereof in accordance with this Agreement and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (but not including any obligation of the debtor Party to incur expenses or make any payment in connection therewith) to assist the non-debtor Party to obtain such intellectual property and 

Page 23 of 33

embodiments thereof in the possession or control of any such third parties (which the debtor Party has the right to access or benefit from and to make available to the non-debtor Party) as reasonably necessary or desirable for the non-debtor Party to exercise such rights and licenses in accordance with this Agreement (or under any agreement supplemental hereto). In the event the debtor Party files for protection under the Bankruptcy Code, unless and until such Party rejects this Agreement pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §365, on the written request of the non-debtor Party, the debtor Party shall perform this Agreement or provide to the non-debtor Party the intellectual property (including any embodiment of such intellectual property) licensed hereunder and under any agreement supplemental hereto held by the debtor Party. In the event the non-debtor Party elects to retain its rights under 11 U.S.C. §365(n)(l)(B), the debtor Party shall provide to the non-debtor Party such intellectual property (including any embodiment of such intellectual property) hereunder and under any agreement supplemental hereto held by the debtor Party.

11.4.2.

All rights, powers and remedies of the non-debtor Party provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code) in the event of the commencement of a Bankruptcy Code case by or against the debtor Party. The non-debtor Party, in addition to the rights, power and remedies expressly provided herein, shall be entitled to exercise all other such rights and powers and resort to all other such remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code) in such event. The Parties agree that they intend the foregoing rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12.  

POST TERMINATION RIGHTS 

12.1. 

Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of this Agreement or immediately upon termination thereof, LICENSEE shall provide LICENSOR with a complete schedule of all inventory of devices, sensors, and other products associated with the Patented and Unpatented Licensed Technology then on-hand as well as all work in progress (the "Inventory"). 

 

12.2. 

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, except for reason of a breach of LICENSEE’S duty to comply with any quality control or legal notice marking requirements, LICENSEE shall be entitled, for an additional period of twelve (12) months and on a nonexclusive basis, to continue to sell such Inventory.  Such sales shall be made subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement and to an accounting for and the payment of a Royalty thereon.

SB-1.  

Territory 

The term, “Territory,” as used and referenced in the underlying Agreement, shall mean and constitute: 

All countries in the world.

SB-2.  

Term 

The term “Term”, as used and referenced in the underlying Agreement, shall mean and constitute:

Ten (10) years, with automatic renewals for additional ten (10) year terms, unless properly terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying Agreement. 

SB-3.  

Royalty Rate

The term, “Royalty Rate,” as used and referenced in the underlying Agreement shall mean:

Between five and ten percent (5-10%) of the Gross Receipts on the following sliding scale.

LICENSOR Royalty (%)

Gross Receipts

 

10.0%

US$0 to US$100,000,000

  7.5%

US$100,000,001 to US$200,000,000

  5.0%

Over US$200,000,000

LICENSOR has been advised by IP counsel that that Royalty Rate for Patented Licensed Technology should be higher than the Royalty Rate for Unpatented Licensed Technology.  The Parties intend to structure the respective royalty rates accordingly and intend that the Royalty Rate for Unpatented Licensed Technology is lower than the Royalty Rate for Patented Licensed Technology, but as an accommodation to LICENSOR and for the sake of simplicity, notwithstanding the distinction, LICENSEE has agreed to pay with respect to Unpatented Royalty Rate the same higher Royalty Rate for Patented Royalty Rate, especially considering that under the Agreement, upon expiration of the life of the applicable Patent, Patented Licensed Technology is automatically and immediately deemed Unpatented Licensed Technology. The same consideration was made in determining the collective Licensing Fee.

SB-4.3.

Any payments by LICENSEE for the Licensing Fee shall not be considered as an advance against and recoupable from Royalties. 

SB-5.

Minimum Royalty Payments

The term, “Minimum Royalties,” as used and referenced in the underlying Agreement, shall mean:

SB-5.1.

A minimum of Three Million U.S. Dollars (US$3,000,000) (the “Initial Minimum Royalty Payment”) per year beginning twelve (12) months after regulatory approval in China and the First Commercial Sale of the next prototype of the Biofield Diagnostic Devices in China (the “China Minimum Royalty Trigger Date”).

SB-5.2.

One (1) year after the China Minimum Royalty Trigger Date, the Initial Minimum Royalty Payments shall increase to Six Million U.S. Dollars per year and shall thereafter increase in an amount of ten (10%) percent each year for all subsequent years of the Agreement.

                the
                Company shall pay to KNTH at the
                closing:

                price per share equal to the same price per share as those issued
                in the
                transaction (i.e. if 4,000,000 shares are issued for $8,000,000,
                KNTH
                would receive warrants to purchase 240,000 shares at
                $2.00).

                request.   Any additional registration would be at the
                expense of KNTH.

              Any

              A
                Transaction will be deemed initiated by KNTH if KNTH notifies the
                Company
                of the identity of a prospective  financing source and the
                Company makes no objection thereto within five working days after

                of said notice.

            

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              7.

            	
              Transaction
                will be deemed closed when the Company pays or receives any or all
                of the
                Consideration.

              The
                Company further agrees that any future financing provided by any
                source
                identified by KNTH to the Company will be subject to the same compensation
                as herein agreed (i.e., 6% cash + 6% warrants of 5 year duration
                exercisable at the same price as used in the placing of
                equity.   For instance if the ABC Pension Fund provides
                $8,000,000 in the current placement and then at some time in the
                future
                provides further capital, the same terms will apply to the placement
                of
                future capital as are herein agreed for this
                placement).

              For
                purposes of this Agreement, the term Company shall include any subsidiary,
                affiliate or stockholder of the Company and any entity created or
                organized by the Company or its stockholders for the purpose of engaging
                in a Transaction.
