(c) License
Fee.
|
(i)
|
Monthly License
Fee. For
each month during the term of this Agreement, Axiologix will pay to
Edumedia a monthly license fee (the “Monthly License Fee”)
equal to 50% of all revenue from sales of the Software and Services
actually collected by Axiologix during such
month.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Monthly License
Report. Axiologix will submit to Edumedia electronically
(unless otherwise agreed to by the parties) within the first five business
days of each month a monthly license report and invoice in respect of the
preceding month. The monthly license report and invoice will set
forth calculation of the total Monthly License Fee for the preceding month
and the basis of calculation
thereof.
|
|
|
(iii)
|
License Fee and
Payment. In the event that Edumedia fails to notify
Axiologix of any disagreement within ten business days after receipt of
the monthly license report and invoice, such report shall be deemed
approved and binding. Upon receipt of a notice of disagreement, the
parties shall resolve such disagreement pursuant to Section 10.
Axiologix will pay the Monthly License Fee (or any undisputed portion
thereof in the event that Edumedia provides Axiologix with notice of
disagreement), by no later than the 30th day of the calendar month in
which it delivers such monthly license report and invoice, and any
disputed amount within 30 days of resolution of such
dispute.
|
|
|
(iv)
|
Option to Pay Monthly License
Fee in Cash or Common Stock. At its option, Axiologix
may pay any Monthly License Fee (A) in cash or (B) restricted shares of
Common Stock. If Axiologix elects to pay a Monthly License Fee
in restricted shares of Common Stock, the number of restricted shares of
Common Stock to be issued to Edumedia will be an amount equal to the
Monthly License Fee, divided by the
average of the VWAP (as defined below) for the five trading days
immediately preceding the date the Monthly License Fee is
paid.
|
|
|
The
term “VWAP” means,
for any date, (i) the daily volume weighted average price of the Common
Stock for such date on any of a national securities exchange, a national
automated quotation system or the over-the-counter electronic bulletin
board (or any similar organization or agency succeeding its
functions) that is the principal exchange or market on which the
Common Stock is trading or is quoted (an “Applicable Market”) as
reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30
a.m. Eastern Time to 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time); (ii) if the Common Stock is
not then listed or quoted on an Applicable Market and if prices for
the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by the
Pink OTC Market, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to
its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of
the Common Stock so reported; or (iii) in all other cases, the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser
selected in good faith by Axiologix and reasonably acceptable to
Edumedia.

shall be issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Certificates representing the shares of Common Stock to be issued
hereunder shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following

Act.

days after the date the above records are due, the arbitrators shall hold
a hearing, and (v) within fifteen (15) days thereafter render their
decision. Each party shall initially bear its own costs and legal
fees associated with such arbitration. The prevailing party in any
such arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the other party the
reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by such prevailing
party in connection with such arbitration. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The arbitrator
shall prepare and deliver to the parties a written, reasoned opinion
conferring his or her decision. Judgment on the award so rendered
may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof and
