LICENSE GRANT AND SUBLICENSING RIGHTS

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor grants EES an exclusive worldwide license for the Field of Use under the Licensed Patents and Licensed Know-How to make, have made for, use, have used for, sell, have sold for, offer to sell, import and/or otherwise dispose of Products, to practice, have practiced for, teach and have taught for Licensed Methods, and to otherwise commercially exploit the Licensed Know-How and the technology disclosed in the Licensed Patents and Licensed Know-How.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor grants EES a non-exclusive worldwide royalty-free license for the Field of Use under each claim in a patent that issues to Licensor during the Term and that incorporates express reference to one or more of the following indications for use of nerve stimulation therapy: weight reduction, hypertension or diabetes (“Other Patents”).

Licensor shall disclose to EES Licensed Know-How, if any, reasonably required to enable EES to enjoy the benefit of the licenses granted in this Agreement. The parties shall agree as to the means by which such Licensed Know-How shall be communicated by Licensor to EES, such means to insure reasonably prompt transfer of the information to EES without imposing an undue burden on Licensor.

EES shall have the exclusive right to grant sublicenses under the rights granted EES in this Agreement subject to the terms of this Article 3.c.

EES shall have the right to extend the licenses granted herein to any of its Affiliates, upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and EES agrees to be responsible for the performance by such Affiliates of all of EES’s obligations hereunder, including without limitation the payment of earned royalties set forth in Article 4.b herein on Net Sales of the Licensed Product by the Affiliates to whom the licenses have been extended.

ii.EES shall have the right to extend sublicenses under the Licensed Patents to third parties (such licenses shall exclude Licensed Know-How and be restricted to the Field of Use), upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any sublicense that EES grants to a third party shall be nonexclusive. EES shall provide written notice to Licensor of any sublicense granted to a third party. The notice shall identify the sublicensee, provided that the agreement between EES and said sublicensee allows for such identification, but need not disclose the terms of the sublicense. EES shall require any such sublicensee to xxxx its Licensed Products in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 287

iii.EES shall pay Licensor an amount of revenue from the Licensed Products sold or royalties advanced by the third-party sublicensee equal to the amount Licensor would have received from EES if EES had sold such Licensed Product.

iv.Subject to the terms of this Article 3.c, the granting by EES of sublicenses shall be in the discretion of EES, and EES shall have the sole power to determine whether or not to grant sublicenses and the royalty rates and terms and conditions of any such sublicenses.

PAYMENTS

In consideration for the execution of this Agreement, and for the exclusive license granted to EES under Article 3 herein, EES shall pay Licensor the non-refundable sum of $9.5 Million within 15 business days after the Effective Date.

Such payment shall be wired pursuant to instructions from Licensor.

In further consideration for the license granted to EES under Article 3 herein, EES shall pay Licensor on a quarterly basis during the Term an earned royalty of:

***% on Net Sales of any Licensed Cyberonics Product that is not a Licensed Roslin Product;

***% on Net Sales of Licensed Roslin Product; provided that, EES shall pay Licensor ***% on Net Sales of Licensed Roslin Product as to which Licensor or EES is entitled to a credit against royalties in accordance with the Roslin Agreement; or

***% on Net Sales of any Licensed Other Product.

No earned royalties shall be payable on Net Sales of any Licensed Product in conjunction with any Clinicals. No earned royalties shall be payable on Net Sales of any Licensed Product sold in a country before the date upon which EES obtains Regulatory Approval from such country. For the avoidance of doubt, EES shall be obligated to pay royalties on Net Sales of any Licensed Product in countries where EES is exempt from obtaining Regulatory Approval for Licensed Products.

xx.Xx multiple earned royalties shall be payable because a Licensed Product is covered by more than one of the Licensed Patents.

iii.	For the avoidance of doubt, earned royalties payable on the Net Sales of a Licensed Product covered under a Valid Claim of a Licensed Roslin Patent shall be calculated solely as set forth in Attachment B1.

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a Confidential Treatment request and filed separately with the Commission.

iv.EES, in its sole discretion, may take a license from an unaffiliated third party under, or assignment of, patents or know-how that arguably cover in whole or in part any aspect of a Licensed Product or Licensed Method under terms requiring EES to pay such third party a lump sum and/or an earned royalty for the sale of such Licensed Product. As to each country for which EES takes such a third-party license or assignment, the earned royalty EES pays Licensor on the Net Sales of the Licensed Product in such country under this Article 4.b shall be reduced by an amount equal to one-half of the earned royalty EES is required to pay such third party in such country; provided, however, that the earned royalty payable to Licensor shall in no case be reduced below a) ***% of Net Sales of a Licensed Cyberonics Product that is not a Licensed Roslin Product; or b) ***% on Net Sales of Licensed Roslin Product; provided that, EES shall pay Licensor no less than ***% on Net Sales of Licensed Roslin Product as to which Licensor or EES is entitled to a credit against royalties in accordance with the Roslin Agreement. If EES takes such a third-party license or assignment for one or more lump sum payments only (no earned royalties), then the earned royalties EES pays Licensor on the Net Sales of the Licensed Product under this Article 4.b shall be reduced by 25% (but shall never be reduced below x) ***% of Net Sales of a Licensed Cyberonics Product that is not a Licensed Roslin Product; or y) ***% on Net Sales of Licensed Roslin Product; provided that, EES shall pay Licensor no less than ***% on Net Sales of Licensed Roslin Product as to which Licensor or EES is entitled to a credit against royalties in accordance with the Roslin Agreement) until the cumulative amount by which such royalties are reduced equals 25% of such lump sum payments.

c.	Licensor shall give written notice to EES showing evidence reasonably satisfactory to EES that the First Competitive Sale has occurred.

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a Confidential Treatment request and filed separately with the Commission.

i.	During the Minimum Royalty Term, EES shall pay Licensor a one-time payment of $*** Million within 60 days of EES receiving such written notice.

ii.During the Minimum Royalty Term, and commencing with the first Calendar Year after the First Competitive Sale, EES shall pay Licensor the minimum annual royalties as set forth in the following schedule. Such amounts shall be paid quarterly and become due within 60 days following the end of the Calendar Quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, the last such quarterly minimum royalty payment shall be due within 60 days following the end of the Calendar Year 2010, with no further quarterly minimum royalty payments due for the year 2011 and all subsequent Calendar Years during the Term. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, examples showing the manner in which these payments are made are set forth in Attachment C.

First Calendar Year after the First Competitive Sale	$*** Million
Second Calendar Year after the First Competitive Sale	$*** Million
Third Calendar Year after the First Competitive Sale	$*** Million

For any given year during the Minimum Royalty Term, any minimum royalty amount payable by EES to Licensor for a given Calendar Quarter under Article 4.c shall be reduced by the earned royalty payable by EES to Licensor under Article 4.b for such given Calendar Quarter. However, if the earned royalty payable by EES to Licensor under Article 4.b exceeds the minimum royalty owed by EES to Licensor under Article 4.c, then EES shall only pay the earned royalty amount owed to Licensor under Article 4.b. The earned royalty payable on Net Sales of the Licensed Product for each Calendar Year during the Minimum Royalty Term shall be credited at the end of each Calendar Year to reflect any overpayment of such earned royalties with respect to the minimum royalty payments due during such Calendar Year, and such credit shall carry forward to subsequent Calendar Quarters as necessary.

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a Confidential Treatment request and filed separately with the Commission.

Licensor shall consider the up-front payment set forth in Article 4.a above as complete satisfaction of any duty, whether express or implied, that could be imposed on EES to commercially exploit its rights during the term of this Agreement, and is accepted by Licensor in lieu of any best efforts or other obligation on the part of EES. Furthermore,

Licensor acknowledges that EES has assumed sole responsibility for obtaining governmental approvals, including Regulatory Approvals, and Licensor shall not have any redress against EES for failure to perform under this Agreement if EES is unable or unwilling for any reason whatsoever to obtain such governmental approvals.

In the event that a Licensed Product is sold as part of a surgical kit or combination product, then for purposes of computing earned royalties, the following guidelines shall apply to the determination of the selling price of the Licensed Products:

Net Sales of such Licensed Product shall be based on the Current Net Selling Price of the Licensed Product sold as a stand-alone product; or

ii.If the computation set forth in Article 4.f.i cannot be made for any reason, then Net Sales of such Licensed Product shall be based on the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the standard material and labor cost of such Licensed Product and the denominator of which is the standard material and labor cost of all of the components within the surgical kit, times (y) the Current Net Selling Price of the surgical kit.

In the event that EES sells a Licensed Product in a country where such sale is not covered by a Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent in that country and a third party is commercially selling a surgically implantable electrical stimulation device within the Field of Use in that country and such third-party device is manufactured in a country where such manufacturing is not covered by a Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent in the country of manufacture, then the amount of earned royalties EES owes Licensor under Article 4.b for sales in that country (including royalties previously reduced in Article 4.b.iv) will be reduced by 50%. In the event that EES reduces royalties under this Article, EES shall give written notice to Licensor showing evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Licensor, that a third party is commercially selling a surgically implantable electrical stimulation device within the Field of Use in that country, including the country within which such device was manufactured.

ASSIGNMENT OF ROSLIN AGREEMENT AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Assignment. Licensor hereby assigns, sets over and transfers to EES all of Licensor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Roslin Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties herein, EES hereby accepts such assignment and assumes and agrees to pay, perform and discharge when due all of the liabilities and obligations of Licensor arising under the Roslin Agreement on or after the Effective Date.

If EES terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 12 (Term and Termination), subsection b or Licensor terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.c, then EES shall, effective as of the date of termination, assign, set over and transfer to Licensor all of EES’ right, title and interest in, to and under the Roslin Agreement; provided that Licensor shall accept such assignment and assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge when due all of the liabilities and obligations of EES arising under the Roslin Agreement on or after the effective date of such assignment.

ii.Licensor and EES each hereby covenants and agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time if requested by the other Party, or its successors or assigns, do, execute, deliver and acknowledge, or will cause to be done, executed, delivered and acknowledged, to such other Party, or its successors or assigns, as the case may be, such and all further acts, assignments, assumptions and additional papers and instruments as such other Party may reasonably request, and do or cause to be done all acts or things as often as such other Party may reasonably request and which may be proper or necessary or advisable for better evidencing or effecting the assignments, assumptions and other agreements made hereby, and effectively to carry out the intent hereof.

Right of First Refusal. During the Term, if Licensor develops an invention that is capable for use within the Field of Use (the “Invention”) and elects, at its sole discretion, to license, sell or otherwise dispose of such Invention for the Field of Use, Licensor will

be obligated to notify EES in writing of the Invention and provide EES with a copy of any patent application(s) for such Invention and any prototypes and other intellectual property developed relating to the Invention (the “Written Notification”).

If EES is interested in licensing the Invention within the Field of Use, EES will have 90 days from the Written Notification (the “Option Period”) to negotiate an agreement to license the Invention (the "Invention License").

ii.

During the Option Period, Licensor shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to consummate the Invention License with EES. If the Parties are unable to enter into the Invention License or agree in principle to enter into the Invention License by execution of a term sheet during the Option Period, then Licensor shall be free, during the twelve-month period commencing on expiration of the Option Period (the “Out-License Period”), to negotiate and enter into a license or assignment agreement with a third party or parties at pricing, terms, conditions and other provisions no less favorable to Licensor than provisions Licensor offered to EES. If Licensor fails to conclude a license or assignment agreement with a third party during the Out-License Period and Licensor thereafter elects to license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Invention, then Licensor and EES shall follow the procedures outlined in this Section 5.b once again, commencing with Licensor’s Written Notification to EES.

iii.

If EES is not interested in acquiring the Invention for the Field of Use, EES shall provide to Licensor written notice to that effect within ninety (90) days from Written Notification for such Invention, and Licensor shall be free to negotiate with a third party the sale or license of the Invention.

iv.

For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor is obligated to offer EES the Right of First Refusal as defined in this Section 5.b. for each and every Invention Licensor develops that is capable for use within the Field of Use if Licensor elects, at its sole discretion, to license, sell or otherwise dispose of such Invention for the Field of Use.

RECORD KEEPING, REPORTS, CURRENCY & ROYALTY TRANSFER

EES shall keep accurate books and records of the Net Sales of Licensed Products, and of all payments due Licensor hereunder. Commencing with the First Commercial Sale, EES shall deliver to Licensor written reports (“Reports”) of Net Sales of the Licensed Product during the preceding Calendar Quarter, on or before the sixtieth day following the end of each Calendar Quarter. The Reports shall include Net Sales (including Net Sales by third-party sublicensees, if any), a calculation of the earned royalty due Licensor, and shall be accompanied by the monies due. The earned royalty payable on Net Sales of the Licensed Product outside the U.S. shall be estimated for each Calendar Quarter, and adjusted at the end of each calendar year to reflect actual Net Sales and the earned royalty payable thereon.

Licensor shall have the right after 30 days advance written notice to EES, at its own expense, to nominate an independent accountant acceptable to and approved by EES (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such accountant shall have access to EES’s records during reasonable business hours for the sole purpose of verifying the royalties payable for the two preceding Calendar Years. This right may not be exercised more than once in any Calendar Year. Licensor shall solicit or receive only information relating solely to the accuracy of the Report and the royalty payments made according to Article 4.b, 4.e, and 4.f. EES shall be entitled to withhold approval of an accountant if the accountant refuses to agree to the terms of a reasonable confidentiality agreement that protects EES’s confidential information, except as necessary for disclosure to Licensor to establish the accuracy of the Reports.

All earned royalties and minimum royalties, including those based on sales outside the U.S., shall be paid in United States Dollars. The rate of exchange for such payments from sales in a foreign country shall be the same rate as that used for internal financial accounting purposes, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, as reported in EES’s books.

If a foreign government prohibits the transfer of royalties out of a particular foreign country, EES has the right to place Licensor’s royalties in a mutually acceptable independent bank account in the name of Licensor and under the complete control of Licensor, provided that EES informs Licensor of the name of the bank, the bank account number and the amount of money deposited therein. After Licensor has been so notified, those monies will be considered completely controlled by Licensor, and EES will not have any further responsibility with respect to those monies or that bank account. Licensor shall cooperate with EES to establish such an account if requested by EES.

EES will make all payments to Licensor under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for taxes except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by law in effect at the time of payment.

Any tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement will promptly be paid by EES on behalf of Licensor to the appropriate governmental authority, and EES will furnish Licensor with proof of payment of such tax. Any such tax required to be withheld will be an expense of and borne by Licensor.

ii.EES and Licensor will cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by EES to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding taxes.

iii.If EES had a duty to withhold taxes in connection with any payment it made to Licensor under this Agreement but EES failed to withhold, and such taxes were

assessed against and paid by EES, then Licensor will indemnify and hold harmless EES from and against such taxes (excluding any penalty arising as a consequence of EES’s failure to withhold). If EES makes a claim under this Article 6.e.iii, it will comply with the obligations imposed by Article 6.e.i as if EES had withheld taxes from a payment to Licensor.

Unless prohibited by law or an agreement with a third party, prior to a public disclosure concerning pre-clinical and clinical data for the Licensed Products by EES or its clinical investigators, EES agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Licensor with an advanced summary of such pre-clinical and clinical data pertaining to the use of Products in the Field of Use. (For the avoidance of doubt any breach of this article 6.f by EES shall not be a material breach)

ENFORCEMENT

In the event that either Party becomes aware of an infringement in the Field of Use by a third party of any Licensed Patent hereunder, such Party shall notify the other of the infringement in writing within 30 days.

EES shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole expense and with counsel of its own choice, to enforce the Licensed Patents in the Field of Use against any infringer, including the right to file suit for patent infringement naming Licensor as a party, and the right to settle such suit without Licensor’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall EES enter into an agreement with a third party consenting to the invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Patent without the prior written consent of Licensor. However, nothing herein shall preclude EES from challenging the validity or enforceability of any Licensed Patent in a court or patent office proceeding, or in a dispute resolution proceeding brought under Attachment A. Licensor shall permit the use of its name in all such suits, sign all necessary papers, and do all reasonable things necessary, at EES’s expense, to facilitate the prosecution of such infringement suits. EES shall incur no liability to Licensor as a consequence of such litigation, the conduct

of such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting from it, including any decision holding any of the Licensed Patents invalid or unenforceable. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit EES from challenging the validity or enforceability of a Licensed Patent in any venue.

If EES prevails in such a suit or settles with such third party infringer, any and all settlement amounts, damages, and costs recovered in connection therewith shall first be allocated, pro rata, to Licensor’s and EES’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, and next towards payment to Licensor of royalties based upon the sales of the infringing third-party devices equal to the amount Licensor would have received from EES if EES had sold such instruments. EES shall keep the balance remaining from any recoveries, by way of judgment, award, decree or settlement resulting from such suit.

If within 180 days following the notice required by Article 7.a EES fails either to file suit to enforce the Licensed Patents or to give Licensor written notice of its intent to file suit within a reasonable period of time, then Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole expense and with counsel of its own choice, to enforce the Licensed Patents in the Field of Use against any infringer, and the right to settle such suit without EES’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Licensor consent to the invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Patent without the prior written consent of EES. Licensor shall incur no liability to EES as a consequence of such litigation, the conduct of such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting from it, including any decision holding any of the Licensed Patents invalid or unenforceable.

If Licensor undertakes the enforcement or defense of the Licensed Patents by litigation, Licensor shall pay EES ***% of the balance remaining from any cash recoveries by way of judgment, award, decree or settlement resulting from such suit, after deduction of costs and attorneys fees, if not included in the recoveries.

Licensor shall file patent applications in other foreign countries which may be designated in writing by EES, and EES shall be permitted to consult with Licensor in the selection of foreign patent counsel and in the preparation and prosecution of said foreign patent applications.

Licensor shall promptly notify EES in the event Licensor decides to abandon or discontinue prosecution of any one or more patent applications included in Licensed Patents, or discontinue maintaining an issued patent included in the Licensed Patents.

Such notification will be given as early as possible, which in no event will be less than 60 days prior to the date on which patent(s)\application(s) will become abandoned.

Licensor may abandon, withdraw or discontinue prosecution of such patent(s)\application(s) by giving EES written notice at least 60 days prior to such abandonment.

ii.Thereafter, EES shall have the option, exercisable upon written notification to Licensor, to assume full responsibility for the maintenance and/or prosecution of such patent(s)\application(s), in which event all right, title and interest in and to such patent(s)\application(s) shall be promptly assigned by Licensor to EES. Thereafter, EES shall have no further royalty obligations to Licensor for any Licensed Product covered solely by one or more claims of such patent(s)\application(s).

EES shall reimburse Licensor for the reasonable attorney fees, maintenance fees, and other costs related to the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Licensed Patents incurred by Licensor after the Effective Date in all countries other than the United States. Upon request from Licensor, EES shall make payment directly to the attorney prosecuting such applications if such attorney submits an invoice directly to EES. EES shall not be responsible for and shall not be required to pay for any such prosecution and filing expenses under this paragraph unless such expenses are submitted to EES along with an invoice that provides an itemized accounting for expenses incurred and services actually rendered.

In consideration of the foregoing recitals, and the mutual undertakings set forth herein, Licensee and Licensor (collectively, “the Parties”) do hereby AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

ARTICLE I

Definitions.

As used in this Agreement, terms shall have the following meanings:

1.01 “Confidential Information” shall mean information of Licensee relating to its business plans, experimental products, research or development activities, financial information, identity of customers and key personnel, marketing and distribution, and other transactions, actual or prospective, treated by Licensee as secret and protected as such by confidentiality or nondisclosure agreements or the like and by applicable marking of documents and other tangible items with words indicative of information of confidential or secret content and with applicable notice where the content is communicated orally or visually.

1.02 “FDA” shall mean the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has responsibility under the law for, among other things, establishing protocol for clinical investigation of medical devices and granting Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”), determining from results of clinical investigation whether a medical device is safe and effective for treating a disease or disorder, and granting Pre-Market Approval (“PMA”) of medical devices.

1.03 “Invention” shall mean an advance, innovation, discovery, or improvement in a product, process, method, or technique, whether patentable or not, conceived, made, or reduced to practice by Licensor, alone or with others, or owned or controlled in whole or in part by Licensor, at any time during the term of this Agreement, in the field of nervous system stimulation.

1.04 “Licensed Patents” shall mean United States patent application Serial No. 09/346,396 filed July 1, 1999 in the names of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and others for “Treatment of Obesity by Bilateral Vagus Nerve Stimulation”, and all continuations, continuations in part and divisions thereof, all patents issued, reissued, reexamined, and renewed (e.g., by payment of maintenance fees or annuities, as the case may be) thereon, and all counterparts (i.e., corresponding applications and patents) and equivalents (i.e., statutorily protected or designated by status of invention, characterized as other than a patent application or patent) thereof filed or issued in other countries (including but not limited to nationalizations under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) in the name (with or without others), on behalf, or with concurrence of Licensor; and any and all Inventions, whether or not applications for patent, patents or equivalents are filed thereon, and, if filed, such patent, patents or equivalents.

In the event that a Licensed Product is disposed of in a transaction with a third party other than an arms length sale between unrelated parties, the transaction shall be treated and accounted for by Licensee and its sublicensees, as applicable, as a typical sale at the average gross sales price of the Licensed Product by Licensee or the sublicensee, as the case may be, in the market in which such transaction occurred.

1.07 “License Fee” shall mean a fee paid to Licensee by a sublicensee for the privilege of receiving a sublicense, which is neither based on Net Sales by the sublicensee nor deductible from royalties paid or payable to Licensee by the sublicensee for its Net Sales.

ARTICLE II

Grant of License.

2.01 Exclusive License. Licensor agrees to grant and hereby does grant to Licensee the exclusive worldwide right and license to all of Licensor’s rights in and to the Licensed Patents, including but not limited to the exclusive worldwide right and license to make, have made, use, sell, import, export and otherwise dispose of the Licensed Products, and to practice the Licensed Methods.

2.02 Right to grant Sublicenses. The license granted to Licensee hereunder shall include the exclusive right to grant sublicenses to third parties for the exercise of any or all of the rights granted in the Licensee’s license in any territory constituting a country, portion of a country, or countries of the world.

Article III.

Royalties; Advances; Audit.

3.01 Royalties.

(a) Licensee shall pay Licensor Royalties at the royalty rate specified in Exhibit B applied to (i) Net Sales of Licensed Products by Licensee and its sublicensees and (ii) any License Fees received by Licensee on account of sublicenses.

(b) Royalties shall be deemed earned when sales are made, but shall be due and payable quarterly in United States dollars, within 90 days after the end of the fiscal quarter of Licensee in which the applicable sales were made. Only one Royalty shall be due per Licensed Product sold, regardless of the number of Licensed Patents and/or claims that may apply or the number of times a Licensed Product may be used to practice Licensed Methods.

(c) With each quarterly payment of Royalties, Licensee shall furnish a quarterly report to Licensor setting forth its own and its sublicensees’ cumulative gross sales, permitted deductions and resulting Net Sales of the Licensed Products, License Fees and the Royalty payment due thereon for the applicable fiscal quarter. If no sales of Licensed Products were made in the quarter by Licensee or its sublicensees, the report shall so state.

3.02 Advances.

(a) Annual. Licensee shall pay Licensor annual advances (“Annual Advances”) against earned Royalties in the amount of $25,000.00 each, to be paid on January 1 of each year, retroactive to January 1, 2000, for a period of five years ending December 31, 2004 (totaling $125,000.00), or until the first sale of a Licensed Product, whichever occurs first.

Annual Advances shall be deducted from Royalties earned at any time during the term of this Agreement (or payable thereafter as provided herein).

(b) Milestone. Licensee shall also pay Licensor advances for each of the following milestones against future earned Royalties (“Milestone Advances”), within 30 days after the respective milestone is first reached during the term of this Agreement, in the following amounts (up to a maximum cumulative amount of $325,000.00): (1) $25,000.00 upon the first implant by Licensor of a Licensee VNS device in a patient in the pilot clinical study of VNS as a treatment for obesity (which milestone the parties acknowledge has been reached as of the date hereof), (2) $50,000.00 upon completion of a 30-patient pilot clinical study of VNS as a treatment for obesity, (3) $100,000.00 upon completion of a pivotal or Phase III clinical study of VNS as a treatment for obesity that would support a Premarket Approval (PMA) application to FDA and submission of the results of that study as part of a PMA application submission to the FDA, and (d) $150,000.00 upon FDA approval of VNS for the treatment of obesity. A prerequisite for the payment of each Milestone Advance, in addition to actual achievement of the respective milestone, is that Licensor shall have performed the implant for milestone (1), and, except in the event of either his death or a disability that prevents him from doing so, Licensor shall have been an active advisor and clinical investigator in the achievement of each of milestones (2), (3) and (4). Milestone Advances shall be deducted from Royalties earned at any time during the term of this Agreement (or payable thereafter as provided herein).

(c) Deductibility. To the extent that either or both the Annual Advances and Milestone Advances cannot be deducted from earned Royalties because of an insufficiency of Net Sales of Licensed Products, the non-deducted amounts of such advance payments shall not be refundable by Licensor.

3.03 Audit.

(a) Licensee shall maintain books and records according to generally accepted accounting principles bearing on its sales of the Licensed Products, and shall, on not less than 30 days’ advance notice of Licensor’s intent to audit, make same available for inspection and audit on its own premises during Licensee’s regular business hours. Any such audit(s) shall be performed by a CPA designated and paid by Licensor(Licensor’s auditor), not more often than annually during the term of this Agreement, with respect to applicable sales made in the preceding calendar year.

(b) Licensee shall promptly pay any deficiency in Royalties payable to Licensor uncovered by audit, with interest at an annual rate of 1% over the prime rate, calculated from the date(s) the underpaid amount(s) should have been paid. If the deficiency exceeds 10% of the Royalties actually earned for the year under audit, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor’s cost of the audit. Licensor’s agreement with its auditor shall require the auditor not to disclose to third parties Confidential Information of Licensee obtained from the audit, and Licensee may require Licensor’s auditor to sign a non-disclosure agreement to that effect prior to allowing the audit.

3.04 Change of Control. In the event that Licensee undergoes a change in control (measured as a change in legal or beneficial ownership, or a combination thereof, by a single entity of more than 50% of Licensee’s capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors) from that which existed at the Effective Date, Licensor shall, upon the occurrence of the change of control, be within 60 days after the change of control is effected, due in cash the difference between $450,000.00 and the sum of any Annual Advances or Milestone Advances that have been made as of the occurrence of the change of control (such difference being the “Accelerated Change of Control Payment”). Upon payment of the Accelerated Change of Control Payment, Licensor will no longer be entitled to any additional Annual Advances or Milestone Advances and a total of $450,000 (including any Royalties that have already been deducted as of the occurrence of the change of control) will be deducted from Royalties earned at any time during the term of this Agreement (or payable thereafter as provided herein).

Article IV.

Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents.

Licensee and/or its sublicensees shall defend at their own expense all suits brought against them for infringement of third party patents by their respective manufacture, use, sale, or other disposition of Licensed Products. In no event shall Licensee enter into a settlement containing terms purporting to affect the validity or scope of a Licensed Patent without obtaining prior written consent of Licensor, which shall not be withheld unreasonably.

5.02 Of the Licensed Patents by Third Parties. During the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall have the option but not the obligation, at its own expense, to investigate and prosecute infringements of the Licensed Patents.

If Licensee declines to take action against an alleged infringer, it shall so notify Licensor who shall then have the right to prosecute the infringer at its own expense, and in that event, Licensor and Licensee shall share equally the

amount of the recovery, if any, after deduction of Licensor’s costs, including attorney fees, incurred for such prosecution.

5.03 Joinder and Cooperation of Licensee. Licensee may join Licensor as a party plaintiff in any suit or counterclaim instituted by Licensee for infringement or in defense of validity of a Licensed Patent, provided that Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensor from and against any damages, losses, awards, costs, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) accrued as a result of or arising from or in connection with such joinder. Whether joined or not, Licensor agrees upon Licensee’s request to provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Licensee in advancing a Claim or in defending the validity of a Licensed Patent, subject only to Licensee’s reimbursement or direct payment of costs incurred by Licensor for or in connection with such assistance and cooperation.

5.04 Non-refundable Royalties; Adjustment. Licensee shall not be entitled to a refund of Royalties paid to Licensor, but if one or more (but less than all) of the Licensed Patents is held by final decision of a court of last resort (as the result of an appeal or a failure to timely prosecute an appeal) to be invalid or unenforceable, Licensor and Licensee shall promptly negotiate an equitable downward adjustment of the royalty rate as to the remaining patents which shall apply to future Net Sales and Exhibit B shall be modified in writing accordingly.

Agreement prior to such date, and upon such date the license granted by Section 3 hereof shall be fully paid.

(b) If U.S. Patent No. 4,702,254 and all continuations, divisions, and continuations-in-part thereof are held invalid by any judicial decree, order or final judgment beyond further right i of appeal, the-percentile rate at which royalties shall be payable to Licensor pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be retroactively reduced to two percent (2.0%) on the first $12,000,000 of Net Sales Value and one percent (1.0%) on all Net Sales Value after said $12,000,000 with respect to Products sold after the filing of a claim in a court of competent jurisdiction which claim results in the invalidation of U.S. Patent No. 4,702,254 and all continuations, divisions and continuations-in-part thereof (the “Claim”).

(c) In the event of U.S. Patent No. 4,702,254 .and all continuations, divisions and continuations-in-part thereof being declared invalid, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no further royalty payments shall be made to Licensor until such time as the aggregate royalties payable on products sold after filing of the Claim at the percentile rate specified in Section 4(b) are equal to the actual aggregate royalties already paid to Licensor on products sold after filing of the claim, at which time royalty payments as provided in this Section 4 shall resume. The right created by this Section 4(c) shall be a right to recover excess royalties paid during the pendency of the claim from future royalties payable to Licensor hereunder only; Licensee shall have no right, claim or cause of action against Licensee to recover such excess royalties from Licensor.

Payments made pursuant to this Section 4(d) shall be paid at the beginning of the month or quarter, as the case may be, and shall be deducted from any royalties payable pursuant to Section 4(a) and shall not constitute an additional royalty obligation of Licensee.

(e) The term “Net Sales Value,” as used in this Section 4, shall mean the full amount actually received by Licensee or its sublicensees (exclusive of sales by Licensee to its sublicensees) for Products sold by Licensee or its sublicensees to customers less the sum of the following, where applicable:

(i) Discounts allowed, commissions paid in lieu of trade discounts, and commissions paid to independent sales representatives or agents, in the amounts customary in the trade;

(ii) Sales and/or use taxes (or other taxes equivalent thereto), duties or any other taxes or levies directly imposed by any governmental authority upon and with reference to particular sales;

(iii) Outbound transportation costs prepaid or allowed by way of freight equalization or otherwise;

(iv) Cartons, packing, and crating charged separately ;

(v) Amounts refunded, allowed, or credited in connection with shortages, returns, or defective, articles;

(f) Where proceeds from the sale of Products are received in currency other than United States Dollars, the Net Sales Value of such foreign sales shall be the U.S. Dollar equivalent of such proceeds determined by multiplying the foreign currency actually received by the applicable exchange rate in effect on the last day in the quarter in which such proceeds were received, as published in the Wall Street Journal for such date.

(g) Only one royalty shall be payable on a Product at the applicable percentile rate specified in Section 4(a) or 4(b), as the case may be, regardless of the number of Licensed Patents or use of Technology under which such Product has been manufactured, used or sold. In those cases where a Product is sold as a part of an article which includes additional materials or components, the production of which does not use the inventions of the Licensed Patents, the Net Sales Value shall be based on the sales price at which Licensee would sell the Product independently of such other materials or components in an arm’s length transaction.

(h) Licensee agrees to keep full, true, and accurate records and books of account containing all particulars which may be necessary to show the royalties payable to Licensor. Such books of account shall be kept at Licensee’s principal place of business and shall be available, upon thirty (30) days notice, for inspection during business hours, by independent auditors reasonably acceptable to Licensee appointed and paid by Licensor provided, however, that if upon audit it is determined that Licensor is entitled, to., receive an additional royalty amount in excess of five percent (5%) over the amount previously paid during the period subject to “audit, then Licensee shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such independent auditors. Such records shall be retained by Licensee for a period of six (6) years following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain; provided, however, that Licensor’s right to inspect such records pursuant to this Section 4(h) shall be limited to the right to inspect records pertaining to the two-year period ending on the close of the calendar quarter immediately preceding such inspection. Only one such inspection shall be made in any calendar year. The auditors shall disclose to Licensor only the gross sales value of Products sold, the deductions therefrom, the Net Sales Value thereof, and the amount of royalties due and payable to Licensor thereon, along with any necessary supporting evidence. Any information obtained by the auditors from any such inspection shall be kept confidential by Licensor and the auditors and shall be used only for the purpose of determining the correctness of the statements of Net Sales value and royalties due and payable to Licensor. The auditors shall be employed expressly upon such terms and conditions.

(i) Licensee agrees that on or before the 60th day after the close of each of its quarterly accounting periods throughout the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall forward to Licensor a statement, certified by an Officer of Licensee, of the receipts for Products sold by Licensee for which payment is received during the accounting period preceding the period in which each such statement is rendered, the aggregate in each category of deductions which have been made therefrom pursuant to the provisions of section 4(e) above, and the royalties payable thereon. Licensee shall concurrently forward to Licensor a Statement of the receipts for Products sold by sublicensees for which Licensee received royalty or other licensing fees from such sublicensees during the accounting period preceding the period in which each such statement is rendered, the aggregate in each category of deductions which have been made therefrom

pursuant to Section 4(e) above, and the royalties payable thereon. Licensee shall simultaneously pay to Licensor the amount of royalties due.

(j) The parties agree that any subsequent downward adjustments of Licensee’s and its sublicensees’ receipts from any particular sale of Products upon which royalties have been paid, due to Product failure or inadequacy, cancellation of purchase orders or contracts, or any other event causing Licensee to make a financial refund to its customers, either in whole or in part, will be credited against any future receipts on which royalties become payable.

Sublicensing.

(a) Licensee shall have the exclusive right under the Licensed Patents to grant sublicenses to others provided, however, that with respect to Products sold by any such sublicensee, Licensee shall pay to Licensor royalties equal to the royalties that would have been payable with respect to such Product sales had such sales been made by Licensee. The Net Sales Value of sales made by any sublicensees shall be aggregated with the Net Sales Value of Sales made by Licensee for determination of the applicable royalty rate payable pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b), as the case may be.

(b) Licensee shall consult with Licensor regarding any prospective sublicensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the granting by Licensee of sublicenses under the Licensed Patents shall be in the sole discretion of Licensee, and Licensee shall have the sole power to determine whether or not to grant sublicenses, to whom such sublicensees shall be granted and the royalty rates and terms and conditions of such sublicenses.

Assignment.

(a) This Agreement and the licenses and rights hereunder are not assignable by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that without obtaining Licensor’s consent, Licensee may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to a successor in interest who acquires substantially all of the business of Licensee whether by sale of substantially all of the assets, sale of stock, merger or other form or corporate reorganization.

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Licensor and Licensee, and their respective successors and assigns.

Future Filings; Patent Expenses.

Licensor shall thereupon file patent applications as requested. All such patent applications and patents shall be filed in the name of and, be the property of Licensor and shall be included in the Licensed Patents. Licensee shall pay the reasonable expenses,

including reasonable fees for patent counsel, for filing, prosecuting, and paying annuities or applicable maintenance fees on such requested patent applications, on any patent applications relating to the Technology pending as of the date thereof and shall pay the issuance fee of and any applicable maintenance fee on any patent issued thereon. In the event Licensee elects to discontinue pursuing any patent application or applications (whether or not such applications have been prepared or filed) it shall so notify Licensor in writing and Licensor shall discontinue pursuing such application or applications (or may pursue such application or applications at its own expense); provided, however, that Licensee shall pay the reasonable expenses, including reasonable fees for patent counsel, incurred prior to Licensee notifying Licensor of its election not to pursue an application or applications. Licensor further agrees that he will not file any patent applications relating to the Licensed Patents, the Technology or the field of nerve stimulation without the consent of Licensee; provided, however, that if such consent is withheld, Licensor may file such application but shall bear all expenses associated with such filing or any patent issuing thereon.

(b) In the event that Licensee notifies Licensor that Licensee would like Licensor to file any patent applications pursuant to Section 7(a) and Licensor fails to take reasonable steps within a reasonable amount of time to prepare and file such application or applications, Licensee reserves the right hereunder to retain its own patent counsel to prepare and prosecute any such patent applications, and Licensor hereby agrees to assist and cooperate with Licensee’s patent counsel in the preparation and prosecution of such patent applications; provided, however, that notwithstanding Licensee’s retention of patent counsel, Licensee shall pay the reasonable fees of Licensor’s patent counsel actually incurred in connection with reviewing any patent applications prepared by Licensee’s patent counsel.

8.Covenants.
