    2.2 
Transfer
      of Licensed Property.

    
 

    The
      parties hereby agree that, effective as of the date that full and complete
      payment is made by LICENSEE to LICENSOR of $78,759.00 (Seventy Eight Thousand
      Seven Hundred Fifty Nine Dollars), which is the balance of the money owed to
      LICENSOR with respect to the creation of the brands related to LICENSEE’s

      and
      assigns, LICENSOR's entire right, title and interest in and to all copyrights,
      service and/or trade marks, all rights of authorship and all other intellectual
      property rights in the Licensed Property and all physical embodiments and copies
      thereof. The foregoing transfer shall take place automatically and, except
      as

      on
      the part of either party hereto. LICENSOR further agrees, promptly upon request
      of the LICENSEE, or any of its successors or assigns, to execute and deliver,
      without further compensation of any kind, any power of attorney, assignment,
      application for copyright, service or trademark, patent or other intellectual
      property right protection, or any other documents which may be necessary or
      desirable to fully secure to LICENSEE, its successors and assigns, all right,

      opposition proceedings involving said rights and any adjudication of the same.

      this Section 2.2, LICENSOR agrees never to assert any claims, rights or moral
      rights in or to the Licensed Property or any physical embodiments or copies
      thereof.

    

    

    ARTICLE
      3 - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INFRINGEMENT

    

    3.1 
      Licensor’s Representations and Warranties.

    

    LICENSOR
      represents and warrants to LICENSEE that: (i) LICENSOR has the right to furnish
      the Licensed Property, such Licensed Property does not and will not infringe
      any
      third party intellectual property rights, and LICENSOR will provide the Licensed
      Property hereunder free of all liens, claims, encumbrances and other
      restrictions; and (ii) LICENSEE shall be entitled to use and enjoy the benefit
      of the Licensed Property, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this
      Agreement.

    

    3.2 Intellectual
      Property Infringement.

    

    a. LICENSOR
      agrees to defend and/or handle, at its own expense, any claim or action against
      LICENSEE for actual or alleged infringement of any 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    intellectual
      or industrial property right, including, without limitation, trademarks, service
      marks, patents, copyrights, misappropriation of trade secrets or any similar
      proprietary rights on the Licensed Property furnished hereunder by LICENSOR
      or
      based on LICENSEE’s use thereof. LICENSOR further agrees to indemnify and hold
      LICENSEE harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs,
      damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) associated with
      any
      such claim or action. LICENSOR shall conduct the defense of any such claim
      or
      action, consistent with LICENSEE’s rights hereunder, all negotiations for its
      settlement or compromise, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing;
      provided, however, that LICENSEE may participate in such defense or settlement
      negotiations and pay its own costs associated therewith. 

    

    b. If
      any
      portion of the Licensed Property becomes, or in LICENSOR's opinion is likely
      to
      become, the subject of any such claim or action, then LICENSOR,
      at its
      expense, may either: (i) procure for LICENSEE the right to continue using such
      Licensed Property as contemplated hereunder; (ii) modify such Licensed Property
      or portion thereof to render it non-infringing (provided such modification
      does
      not adversely affect LICENSEE's use as contemplated hereunder); or (iii) replace
      such Licensed Property with equally suitable, functionally equivalent,
      compatible, non-infringing products (provided that such products do not
      adversely affect LICENSEE's use as contemplated hereunder). If none of the
      foregoing are commercially practicable after LICENSOR
      has exhausted
      all reasonable efforts, LICENSEE shall be entitled to a pro-rata refund of
      the
      payments made by LICENSEE to LICENSOR
      in
      respect of such portion of the Licensed Property. 

    

    c. Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Agreement, LICENSOR shall have no obligation
      to
      LICENSEE with respect to any action based on the combination or use of the
      Licensed Property with other products not furnished by LICENSOR where the
      Licensed Property otherwise would not itself be infringing.

      5 - ASSIGMENT

    

    In
      the
      event LICENSEE or its agents develop or create logos, designs, or other artwork
      to be used in conjunction with the License or the Licensed Property, all such
      written and graphic materials, designs, logos, and other items (collectively
      ''Designs'') shall be the exclusive property of LICENSEE. In the event that
      LICENSOR or its agents develop or create any additional Designs, such Designs
      shall be a ''work-for-hire'' under the copyright laws of the United States,
      and
      LICENSEE shall be the sole author and owner of all such work. LICENSOR
      irrevocably assigns and transfers

      LICENSEE all right, title and interest worldwide in and to all such Designs,
      and
      to all modifications and derivative works thereof, and to all worldwide
      intellectual property rights related thereto. Upon LICENSEE's request, LICENSOR
      shall execute any and all assignments, applications and other documents, and
      perform such acts as LICENSEE requests to obtain trademark, copyright or other
      proprietary protection in any country in order to protect LICENSEE's interest
      in
      all such Designs. LICENSOR shall have the right to use the Designs only as
      approved by LICENSEE.

      for Termination. 

    

    Both
      parties agree that it is an integral part of this Agreement that each party
      observe certain high standards of conduct. As a result, each party has the
      right
      to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice for
      any
      of the following reasons: (i) the other party’s breach of any material provision
      of this Agreement, which breach has not been cured during the thirty (30) day
      notice period; (ii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of the other party; (iii)
      a
      violation of any applicable rule or law by the other party; (iv) and/or any
      misrepresentation by the other party regarding the Licensed Property.

      of Use. 

    

    Upon
      termination of this Agreement, the License to use the Licensed Property shall
      automatically revert to LICENSOR, and, unless full payment is made pursuant
      to
      Section 2.2 of this Agreement, LICENSEE shall immediately cease using any of
      the
      Licensed Property, or any marks confusingly similar to the Licensed Property.
      

    

    ARTICLE
      7 - CONFIDENTIALITY

    

    7.1 Confidentiality.

    

    Each
      party hereby acknowledges and agrees that prior to executing this Agreement
      and/or during the performance of this Agreement, each party (in this Article
      7,
      a “Disclosing Party”) may disclose to the other party (in this Article 7, a
“Receiving Party”) confidential information regarding the Disclosing Party’s
      business, marketing, customers, research and development activities and other
      proprietary 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    information
      (collectively ''Confidential Information''). The Receiving Party shall not
      in
      any way disclose, copy, modify, distribute, sell, or otherwise use or transfer
      the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or any part thereof, to any
      other person or entity at any time. The Receiving Party shall not disclose
      the
      Confidential Information to any of its employees other than those who have
      a
      specific need to know in order to fulfill the Receiving Party's obligations
      hereunder, and such employees shall be made aware of and shall be bound by
      all
      the provisions of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall immediately notify
      the Disclosing Party in writing if any of its employees fail to comply with
      any
      of the provisions of this Agreement, and the Receiving Party shall be fully
      responsible for any damages caused by such failure to comply. 

    

    7.2 Restrictions.
      

    

    The
      Receiving Party shall only use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information
      in order to properly fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and, if to
      a
      party outside of this Agreement, only upon the prior written consent of the
      Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall not in any way use any of the
      Confidential Information in any other business or for any other purpose. Each
      party agrees that all the provisions of this Article 7 are necessary to protect
      the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and goodwill of each
      party's business and its competitive position in the marketplace. Each party
      hereby represents that these provisions will not prevent such party from
      operating a successful business or earning a sufficient livelihood.

    

    7.3 Exceptions.

    

    Confidential
      Information shall not include, and these confidentiality obligations shall
      not
      operate as a restriction on the Receiving Party's right to use, disclose, or
      otherwise deal with, information which: 

    

    
      	·  	
              is
                or becomes generally available to the public through no wrongful

                the Receiving Party or its employees or
                agents;

            

    

    
      	·

                the Disclosing Party and which was not directly or indirectly acquired
                from the Disclosing Party or its
                affiliates;

            

    

    
      	·  	
              is
                required to be disclosed by court order or operation of law, provided
                the
                Disclosing Party is notified immediately in order to contest such
                disclosure and the Receiving Party takes reasonable steps to assist
                in
                contesting such request;

            

    

    
      	·  	
              is
                independently made available as a matter of right to the Receiving
                Party
                by a third party without access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
                Information; or

            

    

    
      	·  	
              is
                independently developed by or for the Receiving Party by persons
                not
                having access or exposure to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
                Information.

      Law and Venue. 

    

    This
      Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced according to the substantive laws
      of
      the State of Ohio and not its conflict or choice of law rules. Both parties
      irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the state and/or federal courts in

      Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    8.8 Waiver.
      

    

    The
      waiver by either party of the other party's breach of any provision of this

      any way.

    

    

    

    

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties execute this Agreement and agree it shall be
      effective as of April 15, 2007.

      after the termination of this Agreement, for whatever reason, he will treat
      as
      confidential and maintain in confidence all information relating to the business
      of the Company, including without limitation the identity of the customers
      and
      suppliers of the Company, the Company's arrangements with such suppliers and
      customers, and technical data relating to the Company's products and services
      ("Confidential Information"). In addition, Consultant agrees that, without
      the
      prior written approval of the Company, he will not disclose any such
      Confidential Information at any time to any person, corporation, association
      or
      other entity except authorized personnel of the Company. Upon the termination
      of
      this Agreement for any reason, Consultant will not take or retain from the
      premises of the Company or any subsidiary of 

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    the
      Company any records, files or other documents, or copies thereof, relating
      in
      any way to the business operations of the Company or any subsidiary of the
      Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not
      include and the provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to any information

      (whether such disclosure is before or after the date hereof); (4) is developed
      by Consultant independently of the Service; or (5) was lawfully received by
      Consultant from a third party without restrictions on disclosure or use. It
      is
      expressly agreed that the remedy at law for breach of the agreements set forth
      in this Section is inadequate and that the Company shall, in addition to any
      other available remedies (including, without limitation, the right of offset),
      be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent the breach or threatened breach
      thereof. 

    

    10. Indemnification.
      

    

    (a) Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Consultant shall have no obligation
      to Company with respect to any action based on the combination or use of the
      Prototypes with other products not furnished by Consultant where the use of
      the
      Prototypes otherwise would not be infringing. 

    

    (b) Consultant
      shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers,
      directors, employees, agents, subsidiaries and other affiliates, from and
      against any and all damages, costs, liability, and expense whatsoever (including
      attorney's fees and related disbursements) incurred by reason of (a) injury
      or
      death to any person or any damage to or loss of property which is due to the
      gross negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant. 

    

    11. Assignability.
      The
      Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any subsidiary of
      the
      Company and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit
      of
      and be enforceable by or against said assigns. The rights, benefits and
      obligations of Consultant under this Agreement are personal to him, and no
      such
      rights, benefits or obligations shall be subject to voluntary or involuntary
      alienation, assignment or transfer.

    

    12.
      Governing
      Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
      This
      Agreement shall be deemed to have been made under, and shall be construed and
      interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio, excluding any
      conflicts-of-law rule or law which might refer such construction and
      interpretation to the laws of another state, republic or country. The parties
      hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Ohio and
      waive any right to which they might be entitled to submit any dispute hereunder
      to the courts of another state, republic or country. 

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    13.
      Modifications;
      Waiver.
      This
      Agreement shall not be amended or modified except by written instrument executed
      by the Company and Consultant. The failure of the Company or Consultant to
      insist upon strict performance of any provision hereof shall not constitute
      a
      waiver of, or estoppel against asserting, the right to require such performance
      in the future, nor shall a waiver or estoppel in any one instance constitute
      a
      waiver or estoppel with respect to a later breach of a similar nature or
      otherwise.

    

    14.
      Remedies.
      The
      remedies accorded to the parties by this Agreement are in addition to, and
      not
      in lieu of, all other remedies to which the parties may be entitled at law
      or in
      equity.

    

    15.
      Inconsistent
      Obligations.
      Consultant represents and warrants that, at the date of this Agreement, he
      has
      no obligations that are inconsistent with those of this Agreement.

    

    16.
      Sole
      Agreement.
      All
      prior negotiations and agreements between the parties hereto relating to the
      transactions, employment and services contemplated hereby are superseded by
      this
      Agreement, and there are no representations, warranties, understandings or
      agreements with respect to such transactions, employment or services other
      than
      those expressly set forth herein.

    

    17.
      Severability.
      If any
      of the terms or conditions of this Agreement are held by any court of competent
      jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, such unenforceability or invalidity
      shall not render unenforceable or invalid the entire Agreement. Instead, this
      Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the particular provision
      or provisions held to be unenforceable or invalid, the rights and obligations
      of
      the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly, and this Agreement
      shall thereupon remain in frill force and effect.
