D.

The COMPANY, as well as the PRINCIPALS (including the INVENTORS), wish to have the COMPANY enter into an exclusive, irrevocable, and fully paid up license agreement covering the APPLICATIONS whereby COMPANY assumes all rights that would be exercisable by the INVENTORS in the absence of this Agreement, save that the INVENTORS will retain ownership in, and legal title to, the APPLICATIONS and any . patents issuing therefrom, including any patents claiming priority to the APPLICATIONS.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding and the mutual covenants recited below, and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.

License Grant. The INVENTORS hereby grant to the COMPANY a License to the APPLICATIONS, and to any patents issuing therefrom or claiming priority to the APPLICATIONS, with such License providing the COMPANY with the right to make, use, sell, market, and/or import the invention(s), the right to enforce any such patents, and otherwise allowing the COMPANY to exercise all rights that would be exercisable by the INVENTORS in the absence of this Agreement (save for any rights that, by law, cannot be granted to the COMPANY, in which case such rights are retained by the INVENTORS).

   
2.

Effective Date. This Agreement, and the License therein, is effective as of the last date of execution below.

   
3.

Exclusivity. The License is exclusive, and the INVENTORS may not exercise any of the rights transferred to the COMPANY herein unless such exercise is authorized by the COMPANY.

   
4.

Revocability and Termination. Subject to the right of reversion noted in Section 6 of this Agreement (below), the License is irrevocable, and the License and other obligations of this Agreement will endure so long as the APPLICATIONS (or any subsequent patent Applications claiming priority therefrom) are still pending, or so long as any patents issuing from such applications are enforceable.

5.

Right to Sublicense and/or Transfer. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, as well as their successors and assigns. The COMPANY may sublicense its rights under this Agreement to one or more sublicensees, or transfer its rights under this Agreement to a successor COMPANY, with any successor COMPANY and/or sublicensees thereafter being subject to the right of reversion noted in Section 6 of this Agreement (below).


6.

Reversion of Rights. Should the COMPANY be liquidated, dissolved, declared insolvent, or be the subject of a petition in bankruptcy filed by or against the COMPANY, the License will terminate, and all rights thereunder will revert to the INVENTORS.

7.

Payments. The License is fully paid up, such that no license or other fees are due to the INVENTORS by the COMPANY under this Agreement, nor do the terms of this Agreement generate any fee obligations to any other party to this Agreement.

   
8.

The PRINCIPALS, including the INVENTORS, shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, oppose the grant of the APPLICATIONS, nor dispute the validity or enforceability of the APPLICATIONS, nor cooperate in any suit, claim, counterclaim or defense against the APPLICATIONS, nor take the foregoing or other adverse action against any patents issuing therefrom or claiming priority to the APPLICATIONS.

   
9.

Representation of Right to Grant License.

Otherwise, no parties make any representations and or warranties of any kind, either express or implied. In particular, and without limitation, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as:


  (a)

a warranty or representation as to the validity or scope of the APPLICATIONS, or _ of any patents issuing therefrom or claiming priority to the APPLICATIONS;

10.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, or void then both parties shall be relieved of all obligations arising under such provision, but only to the extent that such provision is invalid, illegal, unenforceable, or void. If the remainder of this Agreement is capable of substantial performance, then each provision not so affected shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.


11.

Waiver and Modification. No modification of any of the terms of this Agreement will be valid unless in writing and signed by both parties. No waiver by either party of a breach of this Agreement will be deemed a waiver by such party of any subsequent breach.
