MEC retains the right to increase this cost if there are significant additional expenses in the manufacturing process but to no more than manufacturing cost plus 40%.
Development of Pilot: The License Fee will be applied to the technical and engineering development of the first demonstration unit in the territory and may be used to develop catalyst for specific Engineered Fuels.
Revenue Sharing: Upon mutual consent of both Parties, MEC will retain ownership and provide MRU100 as a leased unit over a term of 10 years at 50% of Unit Cost and earn 50% of the net revenue from the operation of each unit.
