  during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to have full access
  to such records, to audit them, and to make copies of them solely for the purpose

  examination unless such examination reveals a material misstatement or mispayment
  of the amount owing by the Licensee to the Licensor of 5% or more, in which
  event the Licensee shall bear all costs of such examination, and the Licensee
  agrees to promptly reimburse Licensor for such costs.

  adopted. The Licensee shall promptly upon receipt of any such complaint notify
  the Licensor of same, and shall throughout the pendency of such complaint keep

  of recovery of some or all of such additional expenses from the complainant).

 11.      INFRINGEMENT
  OF PATENTS OR TRADEMARKS

  or possible infringement, the Licensee shall, at the Licencee’s sole cost
  and expense, take appropriate legal action to restrain such 

-8-

 infringement and/or recover damages in respect thereof unless
  the Licensee is advised by its legal counsel that the infringement, in the opinion
  of counsel, is immaterial and is not necessary to protect the patent. The Licensor
  will, at no cost to the Licensee, assist the Licensee in such action by testifying
  in any legal proceedings, signing all necessary papers, and rendering any other
  assistance (except financial assistance) which may, in the opinion of the Licensee
  or its counsel, reasonably be required to prosecute such action to a successful
  conclusion. If the Licensee is successful in obtaining any award of damages
  as a result of such legal action, the Licensee shall be entitled to retain 95%
  of the proceeds from such action and the Licensor shall be entitled to retain
  5% of the proceeds. If the Licensee does not undertake legal action to restrain
  such infringement and/or recover damages in respect thereof, then the Licensor
  may undertake such action at the Licensor’s expense and be entitled to
  retain the full amount of any proceeds from such legal action. 

 12.      DEFAULT

 12.1 If The Licensee is in default of any material obligation

  a default, The Licensee will have a period in which to remedy the default (a
  “Licensee Remedy Period”). The Licensee Remedy Period will equal thirty
  (30) days if the default relates to non-payment of the License Fee or Royalties.
  The Licensee Remedy Period will equal sixty (60) days in any other case. The
  thirty (30) day Licensee Remedy Period shall only apply to the first default

  calendar year.

  If the Licensee delivers a Notice to Arbitrate, then the dispute will be arbitrated
  in accordance with the arbitration provisions of this Agreement and the Licensee
  Remedy Period will be suspended until such time as the arbitrator reaches a
  decision. If the arbitrator determines that the Licensee is not in default of
  its obligations under this Agreement, then the Licensee will be deemed not to
  be in default of its obligations under this Agreement. If the arbitrator determines
  that the Licensee is in default of its obligations under this Agreement, then
  the Licensee Remedy Period will be deemed to re-commence on the date of the
  decision of the arbitrator and the Licensee will have either thirty (30) or
  sixty (60) days, as applicable, to remedy the default. 

 12.3 If the Licensee fails to remedy a default within the
  applicable Licensee Remedy Period, then the Exclusive License will terminate.

  under this Agreement, then the Licensee may give notice of default (a “Notice
  of Licensor’s Default”) to the Licensor. Upon receipt of a Notice
  of Licensor’s Default and subject to the Licensor’s right to arbitrate
  a 

-9-

 dispute as to a default, the Licensor will have a period of
  sixty (60) days in which to remedy the default (an “Licensor’s Remedy
  Period”). 

 12.5 If the Licensor disputes that it is in default, the Licensor
  may give a notice to arbitrate to the Licensee (a “Notice to Arbitrate”).
  A Notice to Arbitrate must be given within the applicable Licensor’s Remedy
  Period. If the Licensor delivers a Notice to Arbitrate, then the dispute will
  be arbitrated in accordance with the arbitration provisions of this Agreement
  and the Licensor’s Remedy Period will be suspended until such time as the
  arbitrator reaches a decision. If the arbitrator determines that the Licensor
  is not in default of its obligations under this Agreement, then the Licensor
  will be deemed not to be in default of their obligations under this Agreement.
  If the arbitrator determines that the Licensor is in default of its obligations
  under this Agreement, then the Licensor’s Remedy Period will be deemed
  to commence on the date of the decision of the arbitrator and the Licensor will
  have thirty (30) to remedy the default. 

 12.6 If the Licensor fails to remedy a default within the
  applicable Licensor’s Remedy Period, then the obligation of the Licensee
  to pay royalties will be suspended until such time as the default is remedied
  by the Licensor, provided that the Licensee will be entitled to deduct any damages
  arising from the default from any future payment of Royalties.
