Any award paid by third parties as a result of such an Infringement action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) will be applied first to reimburse the parties for all costs and expenses incurred by the parties with respect to such action on a pro rata basis in relation to the amount of costs and expenses so incurred by such party and, if after such reimbursement any funds will remain from such award, the parties will allocate such remaining funds between themselves in the same proportion as they have agreed in writing to bear the expenses of instituting and maintaining such action.
 

 6.
 Improvements 
 

 6.1      Licensee will timely inform Licensor, in writing, of any improvements, changes, advances and/or modifications to the Licensed Products or Licensed Technology, and the purpose(s) therefor, made by Licensee. Any and all such improvements, changes, advances and/or modifications to the Licensed Products or Licensed Technology made by Licensee ("Licensee Improvements") shall be co-owned equally by Licensor and Licensee. Licensee may, at its own expense, file US and foreign patent applications to patent the Licensee Improvements and shall assign a 50% ownership interest in all US and foreign patent applications and patents for the Licensee Improvements to Licensor. In the event that Harry Schoell is a contributing inventor (co-inventor) of any claimed inventions in such US and foreign patent applications, the parties agree that Harry Schoell shall be named as the first inventor in such patent application, including in all legal documents relating to these patent applications filed by the Licensee; unless such claims comprise less than 25% of all claims made in the application, in which case he will be provided in second position.  Licensee will have exclusive rights to use any Licensee Improvements for stationary W2P and WHR Applications, and shall continue to pay Royalties to Licensor per Addendum A. Licensor shall have a royalty-free right to use the patented and non-patented Licensee Improvements for all applications with the exception of stationary W2P and WHR Applications. In the instance of a bankruptcy or other liquidation by either Licensee or Licensor, then the bankrupt party’s 50% ownership of the Licensee Improvements will 
 

 7 

  

 

 automatically vest back to the other non-bankrupt party, who shall thereafter own 100% of such Licensee Improvements. 
 

 A Licensee Improvement is defined as a refinement, optimization or other modification to the core methods and approaches to the Cyclone Engines devised by Cyclone.  Further, a Licensee Improvement is built on an already existing or future Patent claim by Cyclone, but makes such claim better in any manner. 
 

 WHE may file a new patent application covering any improvements to the WHE-DR engine design that WHE is working on as of the date of this Agreement. This new patent filing will be owned 50:50 by Cyclone and WHE as a Licensee Improvement, and shall be covered in the definition of the Licensed Technology in this Agreement (meaning, Royalties will be payable on the sale of engines using this Generation 1 design and all Licensee Improvements thereto).  Harry Schoell shall be named as “first inventor” in any such patent application filed by WHE for the WHE-DR engine as set forth in this paragraph.
 

 Licensee shall be responsible for costs of patent filings and maintenance for such Licensee Improvements in the US and also internationally where Licensee choses to file.  If Licensee fails to maintain issued patents on such Licensee Improvements in the US (subject to allowable cure periods under US patent law), then Licensor may assume 100% ownership of such Licensee Improvements if Licensor pays for such maintenance fees; however, such Licensee Improvements will still be covered under this Agreement.   
 

 6.2
 Licensor have and will continue to have sole and absolute discretion to make decisions with respect to the procurement and prosecution of the patents and patent applications for the Licensed Technology, except as provided in Section 6.1 above, including the right to abandon any such patent application, provided the abandonment does not materially harm the business or operations of Licensee. Licensor’s abandonment of or any failure to obtain or maintain an issued patent originating from any of the patents or patent applications will not relieve or release Licensee from its obligation to pay the License Fees and Royalty provided in this Agreement, provided the abandonment does not materially harm the business or operations of Licensee. 
 

 6.3
 Licensee will not contest the validity or enforceability of any patents that issue from or as a result of any of the patents or patent applications for the License Technology or any continuations, divisionals or continuations-in-part of such applications.  Licensee will not assert as a defense in any litigation with respect to Licensed Products that any patents that issue from or as a result of any of the patent applications (including any continuations, divisionals or continuations-in-part of such applications) are invalid or unenforceable.  
 

 7.
 Default
 

 7.1
 If Licensee is in default of any material obligation under this Agreement, then Licensor may give written notice thereof to Licensee.  If within 30 days after the date of such notice such default is not cured, then this Agreement will automatically terminate at the discretion of the Licensor and all rights and licenses under this Agreement will revert to Licensor.

  ADDENDUM A
 ROYALTIES
 

 Licensee shall pay to Licensor a Royalty equal to: five percent (5%) of the gross sales price (the “Gross Sales Price”) of the Licensed Products it sells to its customers. 
 

 The Gross Sales Price shall be paid on the Licensed Products only, and shall exclude shipping, off-the-shelf peripheral equipment and other components that are added to purchase orders and are not currently a part of the Licensed Products, and engineering and consulting services such as installation, technology integration and other design  and development services that are charged to Licensee’s customers above and beyond the purchase price of the Licensed Products.    
 

 The Royalty owed to the Licensor may be renegotiated by the parties in the future if Licensee can demonstrate a reasonable business case why such Royalties paid to Licensor make its products less competitive in the market, thereby reducing overall unit sales. 
 

 

 

 16SEPARATION AGREEMENT

  SEPARATION AGREEMENT
 

 THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of July 27, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between:
 

 Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc., a Florida Corporation, having its offices located at 601 NE 26th Court, Pompano Beach, Florida 33064 (“Cyclone”); and  
 

 WHE Generation Corp. (f/k/a Cyclone-WHE LLC), a Delaware corporation having its offices located at 3590 Dolson Ct., Carroll, Ohio 43112 (“WHE GEN”) and a majority-owned subsidiary of Cyclone.
 

 WHEREAS, Cyclone established WHE GEN as a subsidiary in 2010 to pursue business opportunities in the waste heat recovery (“WHR”) industry, and at such time, provided WHE GEN with an exclusive worldwide License Agreement to pursue such WHR opportunities; 
 

 WHEREAS, Cyclone has developed (and continues to develop) and patent several models of a heat-regenerative external combustion engine, which it has full rights and authority to license to third parties, including WHE GEN; and 
 

 WHEREAS, since 2010 WHE GEN has grown its team and further developed its business to also include stationary waste to power (“W2P”) applications (the WHR and W2P specifically being referred to in this Agreement as the “WHE GEN Business”); and 
 

 WHEREAS, WHE GEN desires to secure formal rights from Cyclone to utilize all intellectual property created by Cyclone (the “Technology”), including but not limited to the WHE Mark and S series engines (the “Cyclone Engines”) for use in its WHE GEN Business, which rights are set forth in an Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “Amended License”), to be executed concurrently with this Agreement; and  
 

 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Cyclone (the “Board”) seeks to raise capital to continue to fund research and development of the Technology and to advance its own business model of licensing the Technology to WHE GEN and to others companies in different fields including but not limited to: automotive, marine surface and undersea propulsion, off-road equipment and vehicles, and distributed and mobile/auxiliary power utilizing traditional or biofuels (collectively, the “Cyclone Business”); and 
 

 WHEREAS, the Board of Cyclone has determined that a series of transactions to fund and ultimately “spin-off” as a separate company its subsidiary WHE GEN, consistent with Cyclone’s long-term strategy, will have the following positive benefits for Cyclone and its shareholders:
 

 1)
 Monetizing its investment in WHE GEN, part of which can be sold to private investors to raise non-dilutive capital for Cyclone to repay debt and support operations;
 

  

 

 
 2)
 Distributing a portion of WHE GEN’s stock to Cyclone’s shareholders, subject to applicable law, to allow them diversify their portfolio risks and directly share in the potential future value appreciation of WHE GEN;
 

 3)
 Paying to Cyclone approximately $250,000 (inclusive of debt repayment to Cyclone’s creditors), and transferring to WHE GEN approximately $200,000 in current payables, $400,000 in future obligations, and an additional $250,000 in balance sheet liabilities as further detailed herein;
 

 4)
 Allowing WHE GEN the ability to grow as a self-supported company capable of further developing and commercializing some of the Cyclone Engines for which Cyclone will have contractual licensing rights to receive on-going royalty revenue; and
 

 5)
 Advancing the Technology through R&D that WHE GEN will fund, which may result in new intellectual property and patents being created that Cyclone will co-own and will be able to use on a royalty-free basis for the Other Applications.   
 

 WHEREAS, concurrently or shortly after the signing of this Agreement, WHE GEN will close the first $250,000 to $350,000 round (the “Seed Round”) of two rounds of funding from a group of investors (the “Funding Group”) who have the intention of providing WHE GEN with up to an additional $2 million in capital (the “Series A Round”), and as a condition to closing on the Seed Round, the Funding Group has required that an agreement between WHE GEN and Cyclone as set forth herein is completed.
 

 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Cyclone has received a valuation report and fairness opinion from a certified expert opining as to the overall fairness from a financial prospective of the several WHE GEN financings and the terms of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated herein. 
 

 NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration provided by and to each of the parties hereto, the parties hereby agree to be bound by the following terms, conditions, representations and warranties:
 

 ARTICLE I
 FINANCING STRUCTURE AND SUBSIDIARY CAPITALIZATION
 

 Section 1.1
 Financing of WHE GEN.  The parties hereto have engaged in meaningful arm’s length negotiations with the Funding Group with respect to the valuation and funding of WHE GEN. Based upon these negotiations and other market, a Fairness Opinion delivered to the Cyclone Board of Directors from a certified valuation expert, and other financial factors, Cyclone has authorized and the parties have set forth their intentions to pursue and complete the Seed Round and the Series A Round (collectively, the “WHE GEN Financings”) set forth in the Term Sheet signed between the Funding Group, Cyclone and WHE GEN as of June 27, 2014, with the terms attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 1.1(a).  
 

 

 2
  

 
 

 
 (a)
 The WHE GEN Financings are meant to provide immediate working capital to WHE GEN to continue its R&D and manufacturing efforts without interruption, as well as long term growth capital for WHE GEN. Additionally, certain proceeds from the WHE GEN Financings are meant to support Cyclone’s operations. The use of proceeds from the two rounds of financing are expected to be used by WHE GEN as set forth in Schedule 1.1 hereof.
   
 (b)
 The Seed Round is expected to close concurrently or shortly after the signing of this Agreement, in a minimum amount of $250,000 (the “Seed Closing”); however WHE GEN may continue to raise up to $350,000 in the Seed Round in the discretion of WHE GEN’s Board of Directors, provided it is fully closed prior to the commencement of the Series A Round. The Note Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note for the Seed Round are provided as Exhibit 1.1(b). 
 

 (c)
 The Series A Round is expected to be closed on a “rolling” basis after the first $1,000,000 is closed. Funds will be held in escrow until such $1,000,000 is raised and then money will be delivered directly to WHE GEN as provided by the Funding Group and other investors.  The first of such rolling closings is referred to herein as the “First Series A Closing,” and will be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000. The closing of a minimum aggregate of $1,500,000 in the Series A Round is hereinafter referred to as the “Funding Closing Date”; provided however, WHE GEN may continue to raise up to $2,000,000 in the Series A Round after the Funding Closing Date. 
 

 (d)
 Prior to the Funding Closing Date, WHE GEN’s management, as hereinafter defined, will require Cyclone’s reasonable approval to incur liabilities in excess of $20,000; and any new employee’s that are hired during this period, must have a 90 day probationary period or be otherwise terminable at will. 
 

 (e)
 Upon the Seed Closing, WHE GEN will utilize the funds as materially set forth in Schedule 1.1(a).  As set forth in Schedule 1.1, funds from the Seed Round  will be used to retire the Senior Secured Note with TCA Master Credit Fund, including all fees related thereto. These funds will be paid directly from escrow, for which Cyclone will provide instructions to the Escrow Agent. Cyclone and WHE GEN will assure that all corresponding liens on Cyclone’s and WHE GEN’s assets are terminated as well as the financing, security and guaranty agreements between TCA, Cyclone and WHE GEN..
 

 (f)
 Upon the First Series A Closing, WHE GEN will pay to Cyclone a license and consulting fee of $175,000 (the “Cyclone Fee”). Cyclone may use these funds in its discretion.
 

 Section 1.2
 Conversion Round Financing:  Prior to or concurrently with the First Series A Closing, Cyclone will complete a separate offering (the “Conversion Round”) of no more than 2,210,400 shares of common stock of WHE GEN that Cyclone owns. The Conversion Round offering shall be completed at no less than $.27 per share of Common Stock of WHE GEN, with the exact terms (including possible issuance of Cyclone warrants with a forced conversion feature as a Unit) to be determined by Cyclone; provided, however that Cyclone must obtain prior written consent from WHE if Cyclone uses a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) that is not materially similar to the SPA used by WHE GEN in the Series A Round 
 

 3
  

 
 

 Cyclone sale shall be limited to not more than 25 investors, and such transfer shall only be made to accredited investors in full compliance with applicable securities laws. Christopher Nelson will assist Cyclone in the placement of the Conversion Round, for which he will not receive any additional compensation. Without the parties reasonable approval to the contrary, the First Series A Closing may not occur until a Conversion Round of at least $500,000 is also completed and closed.  The WHE GEN shares held by Cyclone are governed by the terms and conditions, including transfer restrictions, found in the SPA substantially similar to the SPA used by WHE GEN for the Series A Round in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2.
 

 (b)
 Funds from the Conversion Round will be used by Cyclone in its discretion; provided however, it is Cyclone’s intention to use at least a material portion of the Conversion Round funds to retire or redeem certain convertible notes and other debt owed by Cyclone. 
 

 Section 1.3 
 Capitalization Structure  
 

 (a)
 The capitalization structure of WHE GEN following the Seed Round, Series A Round and Conversion Round will be substantially as set forth in Schedule 1.3 hereof.  
 

 (b)
 Cyclone agrees to the inclusion in such capitalization structure of: (1) two Stock Option Plans exercisable into an aggregate of 4 million shares of common stock to compensate the new management of WHE GEN, and (2) up to 1 million shares of common stock to compensate other service providers and consultants. WHE GEN’s Board of Directors will issue such options and shares in its prudent discretion. Cyclone agrees that the compensation of management through stock option plans is an important component of attracting and retaining quality personnel to run WHE GEN, as well as to align their interests with the shareholders of WHE GEN, including Cyclone (and its shareholders) and the Funding Group.  The material terms of the employment agreements for management of WHE GEN, including but not limited to Christopher Nelson, are attached hereto on Schedule 2.2(a).
 

 Section 1.4

 (a)
 It is the intention of WHE GEN to file an S-1 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the common stock of WHE GEN.  Included in such Registration Statement will be the remaining shares of common stock of WHE GEN held by Cyclone after the Conversion Round, but no less than 2,000,000 shares without the parties’ reasonable agreement otherwise (the “Distribution Shares”).  The exact timing and form of this filing will be subject to the sole and absolute discretion of WHE GEN, but it is currently expected to occur during the 4th fiscal quarter of 2014. WHE GEN is under no obligation to file the Registration Statement, and in its discretion, may choose to not file, or to pursue a different path to a going-public transaction, such as a reverse merger into another public entity.

Cyclone may select any distribution agent(s) and investment banker(s) in connection with the Distribution, as well as any financial printer and financial, legal, accounting and other advisors for the Distribution as it determines; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit WHE GEN from engaging (at its own expense) its own financial, legal, accounting and other advisors in connection with the Distribution.

If WHE GEN elects to file a Registration Statement for the Distribution Shares, WHE GEN agrees that, subject to any transfers of such stock, (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the shares of WHE GEN Common Stock then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership of the shares of WHE GEN Common Stock then held by such holder.
 

 For avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, WHE GEN is under no obligation to file the Registration Statement for the Distribution Shares, or any registration statement, and in its discretion, may choose to not file, or to pursue a different path to a going-public transaction, such as a reverse merger into another public entity.

 (b) 
 Response to Notice of Claim. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall either: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount and, in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Claimed Amount in accordance with a payment and distribution method reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; or (ii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all or any portion of the Claimed Amount, in which case, the Parties shall resort to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 8.3.

 (ii) The Party not controlling such defense (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party concludes, upon the written opinion of counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Third-Party Claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The Party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third-Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such Party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
 

 (iii) The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if (x) the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment, and (y) such settlement or judgment includes a full, complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from further Liability. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 

 Section 7.4 Survival; Limitations.
 

 (a) The rights and obligations of Cyclone, WHE GEN and each of their respective Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall survive the sale, assignment or other transfer by (i) in the case of WHE GEN, any Assets or Liabilities of the WHE GEN Business, or (ii) in the case of Cyclone, any Assets or Liabilities of the Cyclone Business
 

 (b) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from any third Person (including, without limitation, amounts actually recovered under insurance policies) with respect to such Damages. Any Indemnifying Party hereunder shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party upon payment in full of the amount of the relevant indemnifiable Damages. An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provision hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. If any Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third Person in respect of Damages for which indemnification is provided in this Agreement after the full amount of such indemnifiable Damages has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such indemnifiable Damages and the amount received from the third Person exceeds the remaining 
 

 23 

  

 

 unpaid balance of such indemnifiable Damages, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (x) the sum of the amount theretofore paid by such Indemnifying Party in respect of such indemnifiable Damages plus the amount received from the third Person in respect thereof, less (y) the full amount of such indemnifiable Damages.
 

 (c) The Indemnifying Party may at any time request that the Indemnified Party pursue insurance coverage from one or more insurers in connection with such Damages. If requested, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith with the Indemnifying Party and use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue insurance coverage, including, if necessary, the filing of coverage litigation, after consultation with the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party has provided written consent as to the initiation of coverage litigation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), all of which shall be at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense. The Indemnifying Party shall pay directly or promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for all such costs and expenses, as directed by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall retain full and exclusive control of all such matters (including, without limitation, the settlement of underlying covered claims and/or coverage claims against insurers), and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select counsel with the concurrence of Indemnifying Party, which concurrence shall not be withheld unreasonably. The proceeds of any insurance recovery (after deducting the insurance indemnity payment for the settlement or judgment for which coverage was sought, and any costs and expenses that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid to the Indemnifying Party. At all times, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party's insurers and/or with the Indemnified Party in the pursuit of insurance coverage, as and when reasonably requested to do so by the Indemnified Party. 
 

 It is not the intent of this Section 7.4(c) to absolve the Indemnifying Party of any responsibility to the Indemnified Party for those Damages in connection with which the Indemnified Party actually secures insurance coverage, but to allocate the costs of pursuing such coverage to the Indemnifying Party and to provide the Indemnified Party with a full, interim indemnity from the Indemnifying Party until such time as the extent of insurance coverage is determined and is obtained. It is also not the intention of this Section 5.4 that the indemnity obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder should be viewed as “additional insurance” by any insurer. 
 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4(c), the Indemnified Party in its sole discretion may pursue insurance coverage for the benefit of Indemnifying Party before the Indemnifying Party has requested it to do so. In such event, the Indemnified Party may unilaterally take any steps it determines are necessary to preserve such insurance coverage, including, by way of example and not by way of limitation, tendering the defense of any claim or suit to an insurer or insurers of the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party concludes that such action may be required by the relevant insurance policy or policies. Any such actions by the Indemnified Party shall not relieve Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, including the Indemnifying Party's obligation to pay directly or reimburse the Indemnified Party for costs and expenses. 
 

 

 24 

  

 

 For purposes of this Section 7.4(c), the following will not be considered insurance that will be available to the Indemnifying Party: (i) any deductible payable by the Indemnified Party; (ii) any retention payable by the Indemnified Party; (iii) any co-insurance payable by the Indemnified Party; and (iv) any coverage that ultimately will be payable or reimbursable by the Indemnified Party through any arrangement, including but not limited to an insurance-fronting arrangement or fronted insurance policy. It is the intention of this Section 5.4(b) to make insurance available to the Indemnifying Party only in those instances in which there has been a final transfer of the risk to a solvent third-Party commercial insurer.
 

 (d) 
 Notwithstanding the joint and several indemnification obligations of each Group as set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2, Cyclone and WHE GEN agree that the indemnification obligation of any Cyclone Group member or WHE GEN Group member, as applicable, for Damages shall be satisfied by a direct payment from Cyclone or WHE GEN, as applicable, to the other Party irrespective of which Group member is found liable for Damages.
 

 Section 7.5 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article 7 shall, for any reason, be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Liability, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liability, in such proportion as shall be sufficient to place the Indemnified Party in the same position as if such Indemnified Party were indemnified hereunder, the parties intending that their respective contributions hereunder be as close as possible to the indemnification under Section 7.2 and Section 7.3. If the contribution provided for in the previous sentence shall, for any reason, be unavailable or insufficient to put the Indemnified Party in the same position as if it were indemnified under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as the case may be, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liability, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by and the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand with respect to the matter giving rise to the Liability.
 

 Section 7.6 Mutual Release of Pre-Funding Closing Date Claims.
 

 (a) 
 Except as provided in Section 7.5(c), as of the Funding Closing Date, Cyclone does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Cyclone Group, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all Persons who at any time prior to the Funding Closing Date have been stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Cyclone Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), release and forever discharge WHE GEN, each member of the WHE GEN Group and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the WHE GEN Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Liabilities whatsoever to Cyclone and each other member of the Cyclone Group, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all Persons who at any time prior to the Funding Closing Date have been stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Cyclone Group, whether at law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any Contract, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to

 (b) 
 Except as provided in Section 7.5(c), as of the Funding Closing Date, WHE GEN does hereby, for itself and each other member of the WHE GEN Group, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all Persons who at any time prior to the Funding Closing Date have been stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the WHE GEN Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), release and forever discharge Cyclone, each member of the Cyclone Group and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Cyclone Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Liabilities whatsoever to WHE GEN and each other member of the WHE GEN Group, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all Persons who at any time prior to the Funding Closing Date have been stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the WHE GEN Group, whether at law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any Contract, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed at or before the Funding Closing Date, including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other activities to implement the Distribution.
 

 (c) 
 Nothing contained in Section 7.5(a) or (b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that are specified in, or contemplated to continue pursuant to, this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in Section 7.5(a) or (b) shall release any Person from:
 

 (i) any Liability, contingent or otherwise, assumed, transferred, assigned or allocated to the Group of which such Person is a member in accordance with, or any other Liability of any member of that Group under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;
 

 (ii) any Liability that such Person may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement for claims brought against the Parties by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 7.1 through 7.4 and the applicable indemnification provisions of the Ancillary Agreements;
 

 (iii)  
 (v) any indemnification obligation under such Person's articles of incorporation or bylaws, as limited under this Agreement; or
 

 (vi) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any third Person other than the Cyclone Indemnified Parties or the WHE GEN Indemnified Parties

 ARTICLE VIII
 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
 

 Section 8.1 Agreement to Resolve Disputes. The procedures for discussion, negotiation and dispute resolution set forth in this Article 8 shall apply to all disputes, controversies or claims (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to or arise under or in connection with this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby on or prior to the Effective Date), or the commercial or economic relationship of the Parties relating hereto or thereto, between or among any member of the Cyclone Group on the one hand and the WHE GEN Group on the other hand. Each Party agrees on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group that the procedures set forth in this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy in connection with any dispute, controversy or claim relating to any of the foregoing matters and irrevocably waives any right to commence any Action in or before any Governmental Authority, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law.
 

 Section 8.2 Dispute Resolution; Mediation. 
 

 (a) 
 Either Party may commence the dispute resolution process of this Section 8.2 by giving the other Party written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) of any controversy, claim or dispute of whatever nature arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforceability or validity thereof (a “Dispute”) which has not been resolved in the normal course of business or as provided in the relevant Ancillary Agreement. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by negotiation between executives of each Party (each a “Senior Party Representative”) who have authority to settle the Dispute and, unless discussions between the parties are already at a senior management level, who are at a higher level of management than the Persons who have direct responsibility for the administration of this Agreement or the relevant Ancillary Agreement. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, the receiving Party shall submit to the other a written response (the “Response”). The Dispute Notice and the Response shall include (i) a statement setting forth the position of the Party giving such notice and a summary of arguments supporting such position and (ii) the name and title of such Party’s Senior Party Representative and any other Persons who will accompany the Senior Party Representative at the meeting at which the parties will attempt to settle the Dispute. Within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Dispute Notice, the Senior Party Representatives of both parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute. The parties shall cooperate in good faith with respect to any reasonable requests for exchanges of Information regarding the Dispute or a Response thereto.
 

 (b)
  If the Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, or if the parties fail to meet within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice as hereinabove provided, the parties shall make a good faith attempt to settle the Dispute by mediation pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.2 before resorting to arbitration contemplated by Section 8.3 or any other dispute resolution procedure that may be agreed by the parties.
 

 

 27 

  

 

 
 (c) 
 All negotiations, conferences and discussions pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations. Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of such negotiations, conferences and discussions that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any current or future arbitration.
 

 (d) 
 Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediation shall be conducted in accordance with the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution Model Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes in effect on the date of this Agreement by a mediator mutually selected by the parties.
 

 (e) 
 Within thirty (30) days after the mediator has been selected as provided above, both parties and their respective attorneys shall meet with the mediator for one (1) mediation session, it being agreed that each Party representative attending such mediation session shall be a Senior Party Representative with authority to settle the Dispute. If the Dispute cannot be settled at such mediation session or at any mutually agreed continuation thereof, either Party may give the other and the mediator a written notice declaring the mediation process at an end.
 

 (f) 
 Costs of the mediation shall be borne equally by the parties involved in the matter, except that each Party shall be responsible for its own expenses.
 

 (g) 
 Any Dispute regarding the following matters is not required to be negotiated or mediated prior to seeking relief from an arbitrator: (i) breach of any obligation of confidentiality or waiver of Privilege; and (ii) any other claim where interim relief is sought to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one of the parties. However, the parties to the Dispute shall make a good faith effort to negotiate and mediate such Dispute, according to the above procedures, while such arbitration is pending.
 

 Section 8.3 Arbitration. 
 

 (a) 
 Subject to Section 8.3(b), if for any reason a Dispute is not resolved within one hundred eighty (180) days from delivery of the Dispute Notice in accordance with the dispute resolution process described in Section 8.2, the parties agree that such Dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Broward County, Florida pursuant to the Commercial Rules of the AAA. The arbitrator selected to resolve the Dispute shall be bound exclusively by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its choice of law rules. Any decisions of award of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties and may be entered as a judgment by the parties. Any rights to appeal or review such award by any court or tribunal are hereby waived to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
 

 (b) 
 Costs of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties involved in the matter, except that each Party shall be responsible for its own expenses, except as otherwise determined by the arbitrator.
 

 

 28 

  

 

 
 (c)
  The parties agree to comply and cause the members of their applicable Group to comply with any award made in any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 8.3, and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award in any court of competent jurisdiction, including any federal or state court located in Broward County, Florida or the State of Delaware. The arbitrator shall be entitled to award any remedy in such proceedings, including monetary damages, specific performance and all other forms of legal and equitable relief; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not be entitled to award punitive, exemplary, treble or any other form of non-compensatory monetary damages unless in connection with indemnification for a Third Party Claim, to the extent of such claim.
 

 Section 8.4 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8 with respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute.
 

 Section 8.5 Limitation on Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY OR ANY OF ITS GROUP MEMBERS BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR LEGAL THEORY FOR DAMAGES RELATED TO INCONVENIENCE, DOWNTIME, INTEREST, COST OF CAPITAL, FRUSTRATION OF ECONOMIC OR BUSINESS EXPECTATIONS, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, TIME, DATA, OR GOOD WILL, OR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, COLLATERAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LOSSES ARE FORESEEABLE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE EXTENT AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PAY ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO INCONVENIENCE, DOWNTIME, INTEREST, COST OF CAPITAL, FRUSTRATION OF ECONOMIC OR BUSINESS EXPECTATIONS, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, TIME, DATA, OR GOOD WILL, OR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, COLLATERAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, TO A PERSON WHO IS NOT A MEMBER OF ANY GROUP IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, SUCH DAMAGES WILL CONSTITUTE DIRECT DAMAGES FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT NOT SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATION SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 6.5. THIS SECTION SURVIVES THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
 

 ARTICLE IX
 REPRESENTAITONS AND WARRANTIES
 

 Section 9.1   Representations and Warranties. Subject to any exceptions set forth in schedules attached hereto, Cyclone represents and warrants that:
 

 (a)       Organization and Standing.  Cyclone is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted.  Cyclone is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction  in which the nature of the business conducted  or 
 

 29 

  

 

 property owned by it makes such qualification  necessary  except  for  any  jurisdiction(s)  (alone  or  in  the  aggregate)  in  which  the  failure  to  be  so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects, or financial condition of the Company and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of Cyclone to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
 

 (b)       Corporate Power.  Cyclone has all requisite legal and corporate power to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and the agreements contemplated hereunder (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”).  This Agreement, and, upon issuance, the Transaction Documents will be, valid and binding obligations of Cyclone, enforceable in accordance with their respective  terms,  except  as the same  may be limited  by bankruptcy,  insolvency,  moratorium,  and other  laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.
 

 (c)       Authorization.  All corporate and legal action on the part of Cyclone, its officers, directors and shareholders  necessary for the execution and delivery of the Transaction  Documents,   and  the  performance  of  Cyclone’s obligations  hereunder  and  under  the  other  Transaction Documents,  have been taken.  
 

 (d)       No Conflicts.      The  execution,  delivery  and  performance  by  Cyclone  of  its  obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction  Documents  will not: (i) conflict with or result in a breach of or a default under any of the terms or provisions of, (A) Cyclone’s certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate”) or by-laws (”Bylaws”), or (B) any material provision of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to which Cyclone is a party or by which it or any of its material properties or assets is bound, (ii) result in a violation of any material provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, or any existing applicable decree, judgment or order by any court, Federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having jurisdiction over Cyclone, or any of its material properties or assets or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material property or assets of Cyclone or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them may be bound or to which any of their property or any of them is subject except, in the case of clauses  (ii) and (iii), for such violations,  breaches,  conflicts,  defaults  or other occurrences  which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
 

 (e)        No Approvals. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of Cyclone is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.
 

 (f)      No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances.  No event or circumstance  has occurred or exists with respect  to Cyclone  or its businesses,  properties,  prospects,  
 

 30 

  

 

 operations  or financial  condition,  which,  under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement  by Cyclone but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.  
 

 (g)      Title to Assets.  Cyclone has good and valid title to all of its real and personal property, free and clear of any mortgages, pledges, charges, liens, security interests or other encumbrances, except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 3.1(c) and 3.2.  Any leases of Cyclone are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect.  Schedule 3.1(a) lists all material intellectual property of Cyclone (“Cyclone IP”), whether owned, licensed or deemed to be licensed by such person.  Cyclone owns and possesses all right, title and interest in and to, or possesses the valid right to use, all of such Cyclone IP free and clear of any liens, liens, security interests or other encumbrances.  Cyclone has not received any notice of infringement or misappropriation from any third party with respect to any Cyclone IP.  To Cyclone’s knowledge, the use by WHE GEN of any Cyclone IP does not violate, infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property rights of any third party, and to Cyclone’s knowledge no third party is infringing or misappropriating any of the Cyclone IP.  
 

 (h)      Actions Pending.   There  is  no  action,  suit,  claim,  investigation,  arbitration,  alternate  dispute resolution  proceeding  or other proceeding  pending  or, to the knowledge  of Cyclone,  threatened  against  Cyclone which questions the validity of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto.  There is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Cyclone, threatened against or involving Cyclone or any of its properties or assets.  There are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against Cyclone or any officers or directors of Cyclone.
 

 (i)      Compliance with Law.  The business of Cyclone has been and, to the best of Cyclone’s knowledge  is, presently  being conducted  in accordance  with all applicable federal,  state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except where, individually or in the aggregate, the noncompliance therewith could not reasonably be expected  to have a Material  Adverse  Effect.  Cyclone  has all franchises,  permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless the failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other  governmental  or  regulatory authorizations  and  approvals,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  could  not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 

 (j)      Taxes.  Cyclone  has accurately  prepared  and filed all federal,  state and other tax returns required by law to be filed by it, has paid or made provisions for the payment of all taxes shown to be due and all additional  assessments,  and  adequate  provisions  have  been  and  are  reflected  in  the  financial  statements  of  Cyclone for all current taxes and other charges to which Cyclone is subject and which are not currently due and payable.  None of the federal income tax returns of Cyclone have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service.  Cyclone  has no knowledge  of any additional  assessments,  adjustments  
 

 31 

  

 

 or contingent  tax liability (whether  federal or state) of any nature whatsoever,  whether pending or threatened  against the Company  for any period, nor of any basis for any such assessment, adjustment or contingency.
 

 (k)     Disclosure.  To Cyclone’s knowledge, neither the representations and warranties contained in this Article 9 or the schedules hereto nor any other documents, certificates or instruments furnished by or on behalf of Cyclone in connection  with the transactions  contemplated  by this Agreement  contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made herein or therein, not misleading.
 

 (l)      Books and Records; Internal Accounting Controls.  The records and documents of Cyclone accurately reflect in all material respects the information relating to the business of Cyclone, the location of its assets, and the nature of all transactions giving rise to the obligations or accounts receivable of Cyclone.  Cyclone maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of Cyclone’s board of directors,  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  (i)  transactions  are  executed  in  accordance  with  management’s general  or  specific  authorizations,  (ii)  transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial statements  in conformity  with generally  accepted accounting  principles  and to maintain  asset accountability,  (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance  with management’s  general or specific authorization  and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate actions are taken with respect to any differences.
 

 (m)
 Contracts.   Schedule 3.1(a) contains a true, correct and complete list of all Contacts (defined below) and all amendments and supplements thereto which are being transfered to and assumed by WHE GEN.  True, correct and complete copies of all such Contracts have been delivered to WHE GEN.  Each Contract is in full force and effect and is valid, binding and enforceable against Cyclone, and upon transfer against WHE GEN, to Cyclone’s knowledge, each other person or party that is signatory thereto in accordance with its terms. No Contract is in material breach or default of the terms of such Contract.  There does not exist any event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a material breach or default by Cyclone or, to Cyclone’s knowledge, any other signatory under any Contract.  To Cyclone’s Knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists under or by virtue of any Contract that (with or without notice or lapse of time) would cause the creation of any lien affecting Cyclone or WHE GEN or its assets.  “Contract” means any agreement, contract, lease, consensual obligation, promissory note, evidence of indebtedness, purchase order, letter of credit, license, promise or undertaking of any nature (whether written or oral and whether express or implied).

 ARTICLE X
 TERMINATION
 

 If the Funding Closing Date does not occur by September 30, 2014, which date may be extended by reasonable mutual agreement of the Parties for up to 30 days if at least $1,000,000 has been closed in the Series A Round by September 30, 2014, this Agreement may be terminated and the Distribution abandoned at any time prior to the Distribution Date by and in the sole discretion of the Cyclone Board of Directors without the approval of any Person, including WHE GEN, in which case no Party will have any liability of any kind to any other Party by reason of this Agreement. Regardless of termination by Cyclone, the terms and provisions of Articles IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and XI shall survive. After the Funding Closing Date, this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the Parties to this Agreement.
 

 ARTICLE XI
 MISCELLANEOUS
 

 Section 11.1 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Funding Closing Date and the Distribution.
 

 Section 11.2 Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of Florida (without reference to its principles of conflicts of law) govern the construction, interpretation and other matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and, unless expressly provided therein, and each of the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto (whether arising in contract, tort, equity or otherwise).
 

 Section 11.3 Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of Article 6, each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Broward County, Florida and/or the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, Action or other proceeding to compel arbitration, for the enforcement of any arbitration award or for specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 11.4. Each of the Parties further agrees that service of process, summons or other document by U.S. registered mail to such Parties address as provided in Section 10.6 shall be effective service of process for any Action, suit or other proceeding with respect to any matters for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 11.3. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any objection to venue in the federal and state courts located in Broward County, Florida and the State of Delaware of any Action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 11.3, and waives any claim that any such Action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Parties shall cause each other member of their respective Group to comply with the provision of this Section 11.3.
 

 Section 11.4 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that the remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, and that any Party by whom this Agreement is enforceable shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief with respect to the specific enforcement or performance of this Agreement. Such 
 

 33

The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no provision of this Agreement will be interpreted for or against any Party because that Party or its attorney drafted the provision.
