v. except as provided in Section 2.c. below, nothing herein will be construed to grant the Licensee the right to register or claim any trademark or tradename confusingly similar in sound, appearance or meaning to those registered by Licensor as expressly disclosed in this Agreement.

c. Research and Development. During the Term, Licensee shall have the non-exclusive right (but not the obligation), to conduct research and development activities, and pursue regulatory approval, clinical trials, and all other work necessary to develop, improve, enhance and commercialize the Licensed Products and Licensed Processes within the Field of Use in the Territory. In connection with such potential efforts by Licensee, Licensee shall consult with Licensor, and Licensor shall make appropriate personnel available for reasonable telephone and other informal consultations, but shall not, among other things, obligate Licensor personnel to travel, spend a minimum number of hours or engage technical personnel in research or clinical projects, all of which services (“Additional Services”) may be requested by Licensee and shall be subject of further negotiation by the parties including provisions for appropriate consideration therefor.

Commencing upon the Effective Date and during the Term of this Agreement, and subject to the terms of Section 3.c. below, Licensee shall pay to Licensor a portion of Licensee’s Net Sales Revenue as an ongoing royalty fee (the “Royalty”) at the rates and for the periods as more particularly specified on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. Each Royalty shall be paid in good and immediately collectible funds, and paid quarterly in arrear within thirty days after the end of each calendar quarter.

Subject to the conditions and payment of fees set forth in this Section 4 below, Licensee may enter into agreements with third parties granting third parties any of the rights granted to Licensee pursuant to this Agreement within the Territory and Field of Use, including without limitation pre-license or product development agreements, or agreements to sublicense the Patent Rights within the Territory (each, a “Sublicense Agreement”). For each such Sublicense Agreement, Licensee shall pay to Licensor a portion of the income generated from such agreement, pursuant to Exhibit A.

5. License Term; Options to Extend Term; Early Termination. Subject to early termination pursuant to Section 10, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will expire on the the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided that Licensee does not have any uncured Events of Default or Minimum Payment Defaults as of the date of each such extension notice, Licensee shall have the right, by written notice to Licensor, to extend the Term for six (6) additional periods of five (5) years each under the terms and conditions defined herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if at any time during the Term Licensee determines that continuation of this License will not be, or is no longer, economically viable, Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon not less than ninety (90) days advance written notice to Licensor, in which case Licensee shall be responsible for the Royalty fee, Sublicense Fee, or Minimum Payment, as applicable, otherwise due hereunder through the expiration of the Term, with such amounts being prorated as appropriate for any partial quarter during which the Term ends, and Licensee shall have no further obligation hereunder. Further, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement the Parties shall remain entitled to receive their respective compensation due hereunder through the date of such termination, whether or not such payments have yet been made or received, as applicable, and this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable following such termination as necessary to ensure that any such unpaid compensation is received and paid as required hereunder.

6. Reporting.

a. Books and Records. Licensee shall keep full and accurate books of account using generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) showing the amount of Net Sales Revenue and resulting Royalties and Sublicense Fees due pursuant to this Agreement. These books of account shall be kept at Licensee’s place of business and shall be subject to audit pursuant to Section 5.d. below.

b. Royalty Report. Not later than thirty (30) days after the beginning of each calendar quarter of each year (a “Reporting Period”), Licensee shall deliver to Licensor a true and accurate report (a “Royalty Report”), giving particulars of the business conducted by Licensee during the preceding Reporting Period as are relevant to an accounting for Royalties and Sublicense Fees due under this Agreement. The Royalty Report shall include the following at a minimum: (i) the quantity of Licensed Products sold by Licensee; (ii) the revenues arising from sales of Licensed Products; (iii) the calculated Royalty due to Licensor; (iv) revenues generated by any Sublicense Agreements, identifying the sublicensee, the amount, and the basis of the calculations; and (v) any other revenues received from third parties. Simultaneously with the delivery of each Royalty Report, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the applicable Royalty and Sublicense Fee due, as set forth in Paragraph 3 above.

c. Certified Net Sales Revenue. Not later than sixty (60) days following the end of each fiscal year of Licensee, Licensee agrees to provide Licensor, at Licensee’s sole expense, a report from an independent certified public accountant which attests to the accuracy of Licensee’s information, computations and the Royalty and Sublicense Fee due for each Reporting Period during the previous fiscal year.

d. Licensor’s Audit Rights. Licensor shall be entitled, upon not less than five (5) business days written notice to Licensee, and during business hours at Licensee’s office or such other place as Licensee shall designate within the state of California, to inspect and examine those books and records of Licensee relating to the determination of Royalty or Sublicense Fees set forth in any Royalty Report. The inspection of Licensee’s records shall be performed by a licensed public accounting firm (a “Qualified Firm”). The examination must be conducted within thirty (30) days of such books and records being made available to Licensor (“Examination Period”). The Qualified Firm shall prepare a report indicating the results of the review (the “Audit Report”) and the Qualified Firm shall provide the Audit Report to both Licensor and Licensee. If the Audit Report discloses that the amount of Royalties or Sublicense Fees reported to Licensor was less than the actual Royalties or Sublicense Fees owed, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the deficiency, unless Licensee disputes the Report within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Report. Conversely, if the Audit Report discloses that the amount of Royalties or Sublicense Fees reported and paid to Licensor was greater than the actual Royalty fees owed, Licensor shall refund to Licensee the overpayment (and Licensee shall be entitled to offset such overpayment against the next Royalty fees due), unless Licensor disputes the Report within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Report. If either Party disputes the Report within this thirty (30) day period, Licensee and Licensor shall agree upon another accounting firm to review and verify the Royalties and Sublicense Fees, and provide the results thereof to Licensee and Licensor (the “Reconciliation Audit”) and the determination as set forth in the Reconciliation Audit shall be binding upon Licensee and Licensor. All costs and expenses of the auditor generating the Report shall be paid by Licensor unless the audit shows that Licensee understated Royalties and Sublicense Fees in the Royalty Report by more than five percent (5%), in which case Licensee shall pay the costs and expenses of such audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Reconciliation Audit is performed, Licensee and Licensor shall each pay one-half (1/2) of the cost of the Reconciliation Audit. The exercise by Licensor of its audit rights hereunder shall not relieve Licensee of its obligations to pay prior to the request for and inspection and examination of Licensee’s books and records or permit Licensor the right to audit any other sums with the exception of the amounts set forth in this Royalty Report. If Licensor does not elect to exercise its rights to audit during the Audit Period, and/or does not elect to examine the books and records during the Examination Period, then Licensee’s Royalty Report shall conclusively be deemed to be correct and Licensor shall be bound by Licensee's determination. Additionally, Licensor agrees and acknowledges that the audit right as set forth herein and the review of books and records shall be confidential and, with the exception of Licensor’s auditors, Licensor may not disclose or discuss the audit or the results of the audit to any other parties.

7. Intellectual Property Ownership; Related Actions.

a. Improvements. Ownership of all inventions and discoveries relating to, deriving from, or enhancing or improving upon any technology or claims embodied in any of the Patent Rights, the Proprietary Rights, the Licensed Products or the Licensed Processes, discovered or developed by Licensee, or Licensee’s agents in connection with any of the research and development activities conducted, hereunder, or otherwise (each, a “New Invention”), shall remain with and become the sole property of Licensee.

b. Defense of Intellectual Property. Licensor shall be obligated to defend any actions or claims brought by third parties challenging (i) Licensor’s right and authority to license the Patent Rights and Intellectual Property, and/or (ii) Licensee’s right to utilize the Intellectual Property on the terms contained herein, except where Licensee alters commercial technology and such alteration causes infringement. Licensor shall have the sole discretion and control with respect to any defense against any litigation against the validity of the Patent Rights. Licensor shall bear all expenses of all actions that it takes pursuant to this section, including without limitation attorneys’ fees. Licensee shall have the right to be kept informed of the status and progress of all such actions, including Licensor providing Licensee with copies of all court filings and otherwise meeting with Licensee from time to time as Licensee may request to freely exchange information related to such matters.

c. Third Party Infringement. Licensor shall have exclusive right, sole discretion and absolute authority to assert Patent Rights against any third party (each, a “Third Party Infringement Action”), which Licensor shall have no obligation to do, and the sole and exclusive right to select counsel and control and direct the assertion of all rights and the prosecution of all such actions brought by Licensor. If Licensee desires to institute a Third Party Infringement Action with respect to any infringement or any attempted infringement of any part of the Intellectual Property within the Territory or any Field of Use (which Licensee shall have no obligation to do), Licensee may do so with Licensor’s prior written consent, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any such action initiated by Licensee, (i) Licensee shall bear all the expenses of such actions including without limitation attorneys’ fees, (ii) Licensor shall reasonably cooperate with Licensee (including executing reasonably necessary documentation) in order to assist Licensee in such efforts so that Licensee can enjoy the benefits of this Agreement, and (iii) If a party to such action challenges the validity of the Intellectual Property Rights, Licensor shall have the exclusive right to control and direct the assertion of such defense of the Intellectual Property, including the selection of counsel.

d. If Licensee takes legal action to protect or preserve the Intellectual Property that Licensor is obligated to undertake under Section 6.b. above but which Licensor has refused to undertake or has not adequately undertaken, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Licensee as a result thereof, Licensee shall be permitted to offset against the next sums due to Licensor from Licensee hereunder the actual costs incurred by Licensee in the taking of such legal action, including, without limitation, actual attorneys fees, court and litigation costs, expert witness fees and costs of appeal, if any. Licensor shall have the right to be kept informed of the status and progress of all such actions instituted by Licensee pursuant to this section.

e. Any recoveries or settlement fees received from suits or settlements involving an action initiated pursuant to this section or agreed to shall be paid: (i) first, to Party that incurred the cost of such action as reimbursement for the expenses of such action, including without limitation attorneys’ fees; and (ii) the balance (if any) to the Party that initiated such action in accordance with this section, for such party’s own use and benefit (provided if both Licensor and Licensee are pursuing their respective claims in such an action and recovery is not separately awarded to each of them, such recovery shall, in the absence of an allocation agreed to by the Parties or determined by a court or arbiter, be allocated between the Parties on an equitable basis as appropriate in order to compensate each of them for their respective and proportionate loss).

8. Marking of Patent Rights. All Licensed Products, including those produced pursuant to the rights granted in any Sublicense Agreement, shall bear trademark(s) designated by Licensor, and appropriate patent marking, such as “Patent Pending” or reference to specific issued U.S. Patents covering the Licensed Products, pursuant to and in conformance with the guidelines issued from time to time by Licensor. Licensee shall consult with and obtain the written approval of Licensor with respect to any such patent marking. The Parties shall impose the patent marking obligations of this Section 8 on all Sublicense Agreements.

9. Insurance Requirements. Licensee shall maintain, at Licensee’s expense, during the period that any Licensed Product is made, used, sold or otherwise made available to others pursuant to this Agreement, Comprehensive Liability Insurance, including Product Liability Insurance, with a reputable and financially secure insurance carrier(s) to cover the activities of Licensee and its sublicensees, if any, contemplated by this Agreement for minimum limits of two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence. Such insurance shall name Licensor as an additional insured. Licensee shall furnish a Certificate of Insurance, upon request, evidencing such coverage with thirty (30) days of written notice of cancellation or material change to Licensor. Licensee’s insurance shall be written to cover claims incurred, discovered, manifested, or made during the Term, or after the expiration, of this Agreement. Licensee shall at all times comply, through insurance or self-insurance, with all statutory workers’ compensation and employers’ liability requirements covering any and all employees with respect to activities performed under this Agreement. All such liability insurance policies shall be written as primary policies not contributing with and not in excess of coverage which Licensor may carry.

15. Indemnification.

a. Licensor Indemnification.

Licensee shall have the right to be kept informed of the status and progress of all such actions undertaken by Licensor pursuant to this section.

b. Licensee Indemnification. Licensee shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Licensor and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates, and each of their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Licensor Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, losses, claims, liabilities, fines, penalties, consequential damages (other than lost profits) whatsoever, including but not limited to death or injury to person or damage to property, and expenses (including interest which may be imposed in connection therewith, court costs and actual attorneys’ and expert witness fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred in connection with, arising directly or indirectly out of, resulting from or incident to (i) Licensee’s exercise of any of its rights or conduct of any activities granted hereunder, (ii) the commercial sale and/or use, clinical or otherwise, of Patent Rights, Licensed Products or Licensed Processes by Licensee, its sublicensees, or any customers of any of them in any manner whatsoever; (iii) the performance, non-performance, or harmful effects of the sale, manufacture, or use of the Licensed Products, including without limitation product liability claims; or (iv) third party patent infringement claims stemming from Licensee’s use of any Patent Rights, Licensed Products or Licensed Processes.

c.

If the Claim is a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Claim Notice as soon as practicable after such Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 15. If any lawsuit or enforcement action governed by this indemnity is filed against any Indemnified Party, written notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 15 calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been damaged by such failure.

ROYALTY SCHEDULE

(a) In consideration for the grant of the License, Licensee shall pay to Licensor a royalty (the “Royalty”) equal to five percent (5%) (the “Royalty Percent”) of the “net ex works price” of all Licensed Products sold by the Licensee (minus product returns).

(b) After Licensor has received cumulative payments under all IP license agreements totaling A$850,000, the Royalty Percent shall be reduced from five percent to two and one-half percent (2-1/2%).

(c) If Licensee sub-licenses the IP or any portion of the IP to any other party, Licensee shall pay Licensor a Royalty equal to sixty percent (60%) of all consideration received by Licensee with regard to any such sub-license. Royalty payments shall be made to Licensor within 30 calendar days following receipt thereof by Licensee.

8.	Termination

8.1	Breach or Default

(a)

Upon any breach or default by either party in the performance or observance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching party may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement by giving 15 days’ written notice (the “Grace Period”) to the breaching party.

9.	Indemnification

9.1	Licensor Indemnity

Licensor shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Licensee and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates, and each of their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Licensee Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, losses, claims, liabilities, fines, penalties, consequential damages (other than lost profits) whatsoever, including but not limited to death or injury to person or damage to property, and expenses (including interest which may be imposed in connection therewith, court costs and actual attorneys’ and expert witness fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred in connection with, arising directly or indirectly out of, resulting from or incident to (i) any defect in the IP, a Licensed Product, or a Licensed Process, except where the defect is as a result of any modification, upgrade, service, repair or similar alteration made thereto by the Licensee; or (ii) any claim that the Patent Rights infringe on a third party’s patent.

9.2	Licensee Indemnity

Licensee shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Licensor and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates, and each of their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Licensor Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, losses, claims, liabilities, fines, penalties, consequential damages (other than lost profits) whatsoever, including but not limited to death or injury to person or damage to property, and expenses (including interest which may be imposed in connection therewith, court costs and actual attorneys’ and expert witness fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred in connection with, arising directly or indirectly out of, resulting from or incident to any defect arising from the modification, upgrade, service, repair or similar alteration to a Licensed Product or Licensed Process.

9.3	Indemnification Procedures

If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) against the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also specify (to the extent that the information is available) the factual basis for the Claim and the amount of the Damages, if known. If the Claim is a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Claim Notice as soon as practicable after such party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 15. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any Indemnified Party, written notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 15 calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been damaged by such failure.

10.

General

10.1	Entire Agreement

This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties concerning the subject matter of the Agreement and supersedes all prior communications between the parties.

Each party acknowledges that, except as expressly stated in this Agreement, that party has not relied on any representation, warranty or undertaking of any kind made by or on behalf of the other party in relation to the subject matter of this Agreement.

10.2

No Waiver

A failure, delay, relaxation or indulgence by a party in exercising any power or right conferred on the party by this Agreement does not operate as a waiver of the power or right. A single or partial exercise of the power or right does not preclude a further exercise of it or the exercise of any other power or right under this Agreement. A waiver of a breach does not operate as a waiver of any other breach.

10.3	Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes wholly or partly invalid or unenforceable then, from the date of the invalidity or unenforceability:

(a)	if the offending provision can be read down to make it valid and enforceable without materially changing its effect, it must be read down to the extent necessary to achieve that result; and

(b)	otherwise:

(i)	the offending provision must be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will operate as if the severed provision had not been included; and

(ii)	the parties must negotiate in good faith to replace the severed provision with one that is valid and enforceable and provides as near as possible the same effect as the severed provision.

10.4	Successors and Assigns

This Agreement binds and benefits the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.5	No Variation

This Agreement cannot be amended or varied except in writing signed by the parties.

As used in this Section, attorneys’ fees shall be deemed to mean the full and actual costs of any legal services actually performed in connection with the matters involved calculated on the basis of the usual fee charged by the attorney performing such services and shall not be limited to “reasonable attorneys’ fees” as defined in any statute or rule of court.

10.7

Notices

(a)	may be given by personal service, post or facsimile;

(b)	must be in writing, legible and in English addressed as shown below:

10.8	No Adverse Construction

This Agreement is not to be construed to the disadvantage of a party because that party was responsible for its preparation.

10.9	Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement has been made and entered into in the State of California and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of California in respect of all matters or things arising out of this Agreement.

10.10

No Partnership, etc

Nothing in this Agreement may be construed as creating a relationship of partnership, of principal and agent or of trustee and beneficiary.

10.11

Tax Cooperation

The parties shall mutually and reasonably cooperate to assist the other party to claim any input tax credit or refund available in relation to any tax paid or payable by the Licensee.

10.12

Severability.

Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be or become prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

10.13

Captions.

The various captions of this Agreement are for reference only and shall not be considered or referred to in resolving questions of interpretation of this Agreement.

10.14

Judicial Interpretation.

Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any person by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the person who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

10.15

Unforeseen Circumstances

Neither party will be responsible for any failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement (other than an obligation to pay money) where that failure is unforeseen and due to causes beyond the control of that party. These causes include fire, storm, flood, earthquake, explosion, accident, war, rebellion, insurrection, transportation embargoes, inability to secure raw materials and acts of God.

10.16

Publicity.

Neither party shall issue any public announcement regarding this Agreement, or which contains the name of the other party, without giving prior reasonable notice to the other party, and receiving written approval thereon; provided, however, that (i) Licensee may withhold its approval in its sole and absolute discretion and (ii) written approval of Licensee shall not be required for any disclosures that are required or which counsel for Licensee advises are required by applicable law, including without limitation Federal securities laws, in which instance, Licensee shall so notify Licensor as reasonably promptly as commercially possible.

10.17

Dispute Settlement

(a)

In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this agreement or the breach thereof, the parties shall use their best efforts to settle the matter. To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution that is mutually satisfactory. If they do not reach such solution within a period of 60days following notice of the dispute by either party to the other, then, upon notice by either party to the other, all disputes, claims, questions, or differences shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS). If JAMS is not in existence, the arbitration shall be administered by another neutral alternate dispute resolution (“ADR”) service selected by the parties. Failing mutual agreement on a selection, neutral ADR service shall be selected by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(b)

Any necessary Arbitration shall be held at Los Angeles, California. The number of arbitrators shall be one, and (s)he shall be selected by the parties from a panel of persons having experience with and knowledge of technology license agreements. If the parties fail to agree on the selection, the arbitrator shall be selected by JAMS, following the foregoing experience and knowledge standard. The arbitration decision shall be made within 90-days of the filing of the arbitration notice by the noticing party on the other party, and the arbitrator shall agree to comply with this schedule before accepting appointment. However, this time limit may be extended by agreement of the parties or by the arbitrator if he deems necessary. The prevailing party will be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including consultant and expert witness fees) incurred in connection with the action, whether or the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may commence court proceedings in respect of a dispute where (i) the party seeks injunctive relief in relation to a dispute where failure to obtain relief would cause irreparable damage to the party concerned; or (ii) following those procedures would mean that a limitation period for a cause of action relevant to the issues in dispute will expire.

10.18

Multiple Counterpart Execution

This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile and PDF-scanned signatures shall be acceptable and be considered to affirm assent to this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this License Agreement as of the date set forth above.

Schedule 3: Annual Fee / Royalty Fee

(a)

In consideration for the grant of the License, Licensee shall pay to Licensor a royalty (the “Royalty”) equal to five percent (5%) (the “Royalty Percent”) of the “net ex works price” of all Licensed Products sold by the Licensee (minus product returns). Royalty payments shall be made quarterly, within 30 days of the end of the calendar quarter. The “net ex works price” means the gross invoiced price of the Licensed Products sold, reduced by (i) usual arm's length trade discounts, (ii) customs duties, transportation, and insurance charges (if these items are included in the gross invoiced price), and (iii) the portion of the gross price (net of any discounts) attributable to consulting and other special services provided by Licensee to its customers (determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting principles applied on a consistent basis).

(b)	After Licensor has received cumulative payments under all IP license agreements totalling A$800,000, the Royalty Percent shall be reduced from five percent to two and one-half percent (2-1/2%).

(c)

If Licensee sub-licenses the IP or any portion of the IP to any other party, Licensee shall pay Licensor a Royalty equal to sixty percent (60%) of all consideration received by Licensee with regard to any such sub-license. Licensee payments shall be made to Licensor within 30 calendar days following receipt thereof by Licensee. After Licensor has received cumulative payments under all IP license agreements totalling A$800,000, the Royalty percentage due Licensor pursuant to this paragraph shall be reduced from sixty percent to thirty percent.

(d)

A minimum license fee of US$150,000 (One Hundred Fifty Thousand US Dollars) shall be paid by the Licensee to the Licensor under this Agreement, during the Term, for each calendar year. This minimum license fee shall be paid in monthly instalments of US$12,500 (the “Monthly Royalty Minimum”), due on the first day of each calendar month and shall be credited against and thereby reduce the Royalty otherwise payable under clauses (a), (b) and (c) above with respect to the calendar year in which the minimum annual payment is due.

(e)

Upon reasonable notice to Licensor, Licensee shall have the right to inspect and audit the books and record of Licensee to verify compliance with the payment terms above, the inspection/audit shall be at the sole cost of the Licensor. However, if the inspection/audit discloses that Licensee owes more than ten percent of the royalty fees originally calculated and paid, then Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for all the reasonable costs incurred by Licensor in conducting the inspection/audit, including professional fees.

(f)

Late Payment Interest – If any Licensee payments due hereunder have not been received by Licensor within ten (10) days of their due date hereunder, then Licensee shall pay interest on the late payment at the rate of one-percent per month from the original due date to the date payment is received by Licensor.
