Re:                                                     Amendment to License Agreement dated September 27, 2000
  Between Mr. Mark Christian Klein and MediWound Ltd.

 

Dear Mr. Klein,

 

Further to our meeting in New York, which took place on June 10, 2007, please find below a summary of said meeting:

 

1.                                      MediWound Ltd. (“MediWound”) reconfirms its commitment to send Mr. Mark Christian Klein (“Klein”) annual written reports as per section 7.6 of the above captioned license agreement (the “License Agreement”; copy attached hereto).

 

2.                                      In order to expedite delivery of Products to patients, to assist MediWound in attracting further financing, and to afford MediWound flexibility in its commercial development of Products, Klein wishes in good faith to waive his right to negotiate for new or additional compensation not contemplated in the Agreement in exchange for manufacturing rights desired by MediWound. Klein hereby confirms that the exclusive license Klein granted MediWound in the License Agreement is also for the purpose of manufacturing and having manufactured the Product (as defined in the License Agreement).  Accordingly, Sections 3.1 and 8.3 of the License Agreement shall be deemed amended, as follows:

 

Section 3.1:

 

“Without derogating from the provisions of Section 3.2 below, Klein hereby grants to MediWound with effect from the Effective Date, subject

to the terms of this Agreement, an exclusive license under and using the Intellectual Property and Improvements for the purpose of developing, using, manufacturing, having manufactured, marketing, supplying and selling the Product in the Territory, with the right to sub- license”.

 

Section 8.3:

 

“MediWound shall purchase Bromelain from CBC and/or other sources pursuant to the CBC Agreement and shall be entitled to make and have made Product and pharmaceutical preparations thereof either by itself or through Sub-Contractors. Should Mediwound desire to acquire manufacturing rights to the Product, Klein shall negotiate with Mediwound in good faith for granting of such rights to Mediwound”.

 

3.                                      Without derogating from MediWound’s undertaking under the amended Section 8.1 of the Agreement (as set out below), MediWound, at its own discretion, will make reasonable commercial efforts to successfully conclude a pilot scale manufacturing and validation of 5 (five) consecutive batches of Product (the “Pilot Scale”), by the end of 2007.

 

4.                                      MediWound will pay Klein the amount of US$ 75,000 (US Dollars Seventy Five Thousand) which represents the second milestone payment, by December 31, 2007, regardless of the Pilot Scale.  Therefore, Section 4.1.2 of the License Agreement is hereby deemed amended, as follows:

 

“US$ 75,000 (US Dollars Seventy Five Thousand) by December 31, 2007. within 30 (thirty) days of successful pilot scale manufacturing and validation of 5 (five) consecutive batches of Product;

 

5.                                      The third milestone payment will be divided into two installments of US$ 75,000 each, as described below, and Section 4.1.3 is hereby deemed amended accordingly:

 

a)                                     “US$ 150,000  75,000 (US Dollars Seventy Five Thousand One Hundred and Fifty Thousand) upon the earlier to occur of (i) within 30 (thirty) days following the consummation of the Initial Closing as defined in that certain Share Purchase Agreement to be entered into during 2007 by and among MediWound and certain investors, or (ii) September 1, 2007; US$ 75,000 (US

Dollars Seventy Five Thousand) after the completion Initiation  of a Pivotal Clinical Trial

 

6.                                      Section 8.1 is hereby deemed amended, as follows:

 

“During the term of this Agreement, MediWound shall use its best efforts to diligently develop, manufacture and commercially market finished pharmaceutical Products. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mediwound shall fund the Development Plan in adherence with the milestones and time schedule set forth therein, without the participation of Klein”.

 

A failure by MediWound to meet Development Milestones will not entitle Klein to terminate the Agreement and/or receive the funds referred to in Section 15.4.2 of the License Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, this amendment in no way affects Klein’s right to terminate the Agreement for breach as set out in Section 15.1.

 

Accordingly, Sections 1.35, 15.2.4 and 15.4 as well as Exhibits 1.9 and 1.10 of the License Agreement are hereby deemed deleted.

 

7.                                      For the sake of clarity, Section 5.4 shall be amended as follows:

 

“5.4                         Upon cumulative Net Sales reaching $100,000,000 (US Dollars One Hundred Million), regardless of the countries in which such Net Sales occurred and whether there is or was at any time a Valid Claim in any such country, Mediwound shall pay Klein a lump sum of $1,500,000 (US Dollars One Million Five Hundred Thousand), as a one-time success fee, in addition to any other amounts due to Klein pursuant to this Agreement.”

 

8.                                      MediWound hereby reaffirms its commitment to pay Klein all payments to which he is entitled under the Agreement as amended.  MediWound will pay Klein royalties as set out in the Agreement in respect of any Product and will not claim or allege that a Product is not developed by using the Technology solely in order to avoid or reduce its payment obligations under the Agreement.

 

9.                                      Klein hereby waives any claim and/or contention raised in his letter of June 8, 2006, and/or related to the matters resolved herein except for a claim and/or contention in connection with MediWound’s breach of any of its obligations under this Amendment Letter.

10.                               The Agreement shall be modified only as expressly specified above and all the other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that the amendments above shall be incorporated into the Agreement and shall constitute an integral part thereof.

Dear Sirs/Madam: 

Re:   Letter of Intent

This binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") shall set forth the basic terms of the recent discussions between Enertopia Corporation ("Enertopia") and Wisplite Technologies Incorporated ("WTI") and Wisplite Technologies Group
Incorporated (“WTGI”) and CEX Holdings Limited (“CEX”) (collectively, the "Parties") with regard to the acquisition (the "Acquisition") by Enertopia of all of the issued and outstanding shares of
WTI. 

	
1.

(a) 		
Upon the execution of this LOI, Enertopia shall pay to WTI the sum of $85,000 which is for the payment of patent payments and associated costs due on or before February 7, 2014 which amount shall be non-refundable.

(e) 		
Enertopia understands and acknowledges that WTI has a finder’s fee agreement in place with Wolverton Securities Ltd. (“Wolverton”) and that Wolverton introduced Enertopia to WTI for the purposes of the
Acquisition. Wolverton will be paid a cash fee and will be entitled to a portion of the Shares to be issued to the Shareholders. The Shares will be issued to the Shareholders, on a pro-rata basis, and Wolverton, pursuant to its finder’s fee
