GRANT
OF LICENSE AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
Section
3.1
Grant of
License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, ALRT grants to PARI and its Affiliates an exclusive (subject to
Section 3.2), sublicensable (subject to Section 3.5), transferable (subject to
Section 3.5), royalty-free right and
license under ALRT’s Intellectual Property Rights for the purpose of promoting,
assembling, making, having made, researching, testing, reproducing, modifying,
using, supporting, selling, distributing, having sold, offering for sale,
marketing, promoting, importing, exporting, displaying, distributing,
commercializing or otherwise disposing of the Products on a worldwide basis.
PARI shall be entitled to sublicense, assign, or transfer the rights granted
herein subject to Section 3.5 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and
agree that PARI does not have the right to use the Connectivity, or any
Intellectual Property Rights associated therewith, for use with medical devices
or systems not manufactured by or on behalf of PARI.
|
(a)
|
License
Territory. The license granted to PARI pursuant to this Section
3.1 extends worldwide. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both PARI
and ALRT acknowledge that the Patent Rights identified on Schedule 1
specifically cover the corresponding country(ies) noted
thereon.
|
|
(b)
|
Patent
Prosecution and Maintenance.
|
|
(i)
|
Patent
Rights in Protection Countries. During the term of this
Agreement ALRT shall take all steps necessary to apply for, seek issuance
of, and maintain during the term of this Agreement, Patent Rights for the
Products in the countries set forth in Schedule 2 attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein (the “Protection
Countries”); provided, however, that ALRT shall not be required to
file for the Patent Rights in the
countries
|
4
|
listed
on Schedule 2 (except for the United States) until the expiration of the
Trial Period and PARI has not terminated this Agreement prior to
the end of the Trial Period. Prior to filing for a Patent Right
in a country listed on Schedule 2, PARI and ALRT agree to
review PARI’s commercialization plan for such country to ensure PARI plans
to commercialize. In the event PARI does not yet have a
commercialization plan for the Products in a country listed on Schedule 2,
no filing for a Patent Right will then be required in that
country. However, PARI may nevertheless request ALRT to file
for a Patent Right without a current commercialization plan, upon which
time PARI and ALRT shall split the costs of filing for a Patent Right in
that country until such time as PARI finalizes its commercialization plan
for that country and ALRT shall then cover all associated
costs. Such filing for a Patent Right will not need to take
place immediately, but must proceed in a manner and within a time period
to ensure rights are not lost based on priority of related US applications
(for example, filing at least a PCT patent application with the US
Receiving Office within one year of the filing of the US application and
subsequent filing of national applications within 30 months of the filing
of the US application). Following such filings for a Patent
Right, PARI shall be responsible for 50% of all maintenance fees related
to the Patent Rights in such other countries for the period from the
issuance of such Patent Rights in a country listed on Schedule 2 until the
commercial launch of the Products by, or on behalf of, PARI in such
country. The prosecution, filing and maintenance of all
Patent Rights for Products in the Protection Countries shall be the
primary responsibility of ALRT. ALRT shall keep PARI timely
advised with respect to the progress and status of such Patent Rights and
shall supply to PARI copies of all material correspondence and papers
received in connection therewith. ALRT shall take all steps to
provide such correspondence to and advise PARI in a timely manner in order
to permit PARI to comment on all actions before they are taken by patent
counsel. Any additional countries that PARI agrees with ALRT to
be included in Schedule 2 in accordance with (b)(ii) below, and the Patent
Rights therein, shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. All final decisions with respect to prosecution of
the Patent Rights shall be reasonably made by ALRT, taking into account
PARI’s comments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, if PARI reasonably believes that ALRT may fail to make any
required payments or take any action required for the preparation, filing,
prosecution or maintenance of the Patent Rights within a reasonable time,
PARI shall provide ALRT with written notice of such
deficiency. If ALRT fails to take the required action within 30
days of the date of such notice, PARI shall have the right to thereafter
make any such required payments or take any such required action and ALRT
shall promptly reimburse PARI for any costs and expenses incurred with
respect to the foregoing.
|
5
|
(ii)
|
Additional
Countries. The parties may, by mutual written agreement, amend
Schedule 2 from time to time during the term of this Agreement to add
additional countries to the list of Protection Countries as (i) ALRT
applies for protection in such additional countries, and (ii) needed by
the parties for commercialization of Products. In the event
that PARI proposes that one or more countries be added to the list of
Protection Countries in Schedule 2 and ALRT fails or refuses to agree to
the addition of the country(ies) proposed by PARI within thirty (30) days
of its receipt of such proposal, then PARI shall have the right
to require ALRT to apply for, seek issuance of, and maintain Patent Rights
in such country(ies) at PARI’s expense, and ALRT shall promptly comply
with the foregoing. In all cases, the license and rights
granted to PARI hereunder shall include the rights to all such additional
country(ies).
|
|
(iii)
|
Expenses
of Patent Rights Prosecution. Subject to Section 3.1 (ii),
during the term of this Agreement ALRT shall pay all fees and costs
incurred by ALRT in connection with the Patent Rights, including, without
limitation, attorney fees relating to the filing, prosecution, and
maintenance of such Patent Rights. In addition to any other
rights or remedies that PARI may have, in the event that ALRT fails to pay
for the filing, prosecution or maintenance of such Patent Rights or any
portion thereof, or otherwise fails to prosecute the Patent Rights in the
United States or in any country included in the Protection Countries, PARI
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do so, and ALRT shall
reimburse PARI for all costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith.
|
Section
3.2 Section 3.2Exceptions to
Exclusivity. ALRT will only market, distribute, sell, license,
divest, transfer rights with respect to the Products (i) for or with PGB Medical
LLC ("PGB") in connection with the Monitoring/Marketing Agreement
dated as of April 18, 2009 between ALRT and PGB whereby

solely by Xxxx Technologies Inc. in China, to medical dealers, dealer networks
and other persons on a worldwide basis and will negotiate
reimbursement for health care providers utilizing
ALRT's Monitoring services and (ii) for or with
Aspen in connection with the rights granted to it to market ALRT's Monitoring
services utilizing the Connectivity, together with an "Aspen"
nebuliser compatible with the CHC Unit, in Argentina, Bolivia,
Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay. The activities of PGB
Medical and Aspen set forth in the previous sentence shall not be deemed a

agrees that neither PGB Medical’s rights nor Aspen’s rights shall be renewed
upon their expiration or sooner termination or expanded in
scope.
Section
3.3 Due Diligence; Cooperative Marketing
Efforts. PARI agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
bring the Products to market through the PARI Network and attain maximum
commercialization of the Products. PARI shall be responsible for promoting and

Intellectual Property Rights and any research findings related thereto at
no charge, provided that PARI shall pay all reasonable travel expenses
relating thereto that have been pre-approved by PARI prior to such
expenses being incurred. To the extent PARI desires ALRT to
make more than four presentations, ALRT shall do so on the same basis
provided that if ALRT does not have the staff available for such
presentations it may use qualified and knowledgeable consultants and its
reasonable out of pocket expenses, including the fees and expenses of such
consultants, each of which will require pre-approval from PARI in writing,
shall be reimbursed to ALRT by

shall have the right to grant sublicenses under this Agreement to Affiliates but
not to any Affiliate that is in the business of providing remote health
monitoring services in competition with ALRT; provided that such sublicenses
shall comply with the terms of this Agreement. Otherwise, all such
sublicenses shall only be allowed with the prior written consent of ALRT, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.
Section
3.6 Use of
Names. Except as otherwise authorized in writing by the
parties, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting any
right to either party or any of its Affiliates to use in advertising, publicity
or other promotional materials the other party’s name or logo without prior
written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld.
Section
3.7 Disclosure of Intellectual
Property Rights. Following the execution of this
Agreement by the parties, ALRT shall promptly deliver to PARI, or provide PARI
with copies of: (i) any and all Intellectual Property Rights requested by PARI,
and (ii) any and all ALRT know-how requested by PARI in sufficient detail in
order for a reasonably-skilled person
7
to
practice such know-how included in the Intellectual Property Rights as
contemplated in this Agreement.
Section

and/or the Intellectual Property Rights; provided, however, the parties
acknowledge that PARI shall retain the control and final decision-making
authority. At meetings of the Committee the representative of ALRT shall be kept
updated as to the progress of PARI in carrying out its mandate as described in
sec 3.3 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, ALRT shall be responsible to use commercial reasonable efforts to
determine and obtain insurance Reimbursement for its Monitoring, provided,

LICENSE
FEE AND PAYMENTS
Section
4.1 License
Fee. PARI shall pay to ALRT a non-refundable up-front payment
of Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000) within thirty (30) days from
the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Section
4.2 Payments. In
partial consideration for PARI’s efforts to commercialize the CHC Units through
the PARI Network in the United States, ALRT shall pay, or cause a third party
such as Health ALRT, LLC to pay on its behalf to, PARI the following amount (the
“Individual Subscription Amount”) for each month of active subscription for
Monitoring that has been activated through the physicians and/or patients to
whom PARI sells the CHC Units in the United States and in respect of whom ALRT,
directly or indirectly, receives a Monitoring service fee for such month: Option
1 - five
United States dollars (USD$5.00) and Option 2 - three
United States Dollars and fifty cents (USD$3.50) as long as there is no
reimbursement code established for the CHC Unit by a governmental agency and
once such reimbursement code has been established, the amount shall be three United States Dollars
(USD$3.00). All payments of the Individual Subscription
Amounts shall continue for the entire duration of such active subscription,
including with respect to any renewals of subscriptions after the expiration or
termination date of this Agreement provided the CHC Unit being used was
originally sold by the
10
PARI
Network (or a replacement unit in case of defect or warranty
issues). As to each other country, the payment amount shall be
determined by mutual agreement of the parties on a country by country basis
based on PARI’s role and support but in no event shall payment be less than the
Individual Subscription Amount applicable for the United States.
Section
4.3. Adjustments to Individual
Subscription Amounts. The payment by ALRT of the Individual
Subscription Amounts to PARI is based on the assumption that ALRT or its agent
will receive a Monitoring services fee of $30 per month per
patient (or the equivalent if such fee is based on a frequency other than
monthly). The payment of the Individual Subscription Amounts to PARI shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
|
(a)
|
if
the Monitoring services fee charged by ALRT (or its agent) is more than
$30 per
month per patient (or the equivalent if the Monitoring services fee is
based on a different frequency), then, in the case of Option 1, the
Individual Subscription Amount shall be 16.67% of the
Monitoring services fee, and in the case of Option 2, the Individual
Subscription Amount shall be the sum of (i) 10% of the
Monitoring services fee plus (ii) $0.50 as long as
no reimbursement code for the CHC Unit has been established by a
governmental agency; provided, however, that any increase in the
Monitoring services fee as a direct result solely of (x) the increased
cost of the outsourcing in case of Option 2 in excess of $5.00 or (y) any
add-ons to the Services, such as dial-up modems or other disbursements or
out-of-pocket expenses of ALRT requested and agreed to by PARI or
(y), shall not give right to an increase of the Individual Subscription
Amount; and
|
|
|
(b)
|
if the
Monitoring services fee charged by ALRT (or its agent) is less than $30 per patient
per month (or equivalent if the Monitoring services fee is
based on a different frequency), then the Individual Subscription Amount
shall be as set forth in Section 4.2, unless otherwise agreed to by the
parties in writing.
|
Further, if any Monitoring services fee received by ALRT or its agent shall be cancelled and recovered by the payer from ALRT or its agent, as applicable, then ALRT shall have the right to recover from PARI the payment made to PARI in respect of such cancelled fee.
Section
4.4. Frequency of
Payments. If ALRT's Monitoring services fee is based on
a payment frequency of services by ALRT other than monthly, then the
payment to PARI shall be adjusted and calculated based on the same frequency as
applies to ALRT's Monitoring services and in an amount equiva lent to the
monthly Individual Subscription Amounts payment provided herein to be paid to
PARI, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of the
Individual Subscription Amounts shall be made by (or on behalf of) ALRT to PARI
no less frequently than quarterly even if the payment frequency of the
Monitoring services fee is for a longer period of time.
11
Section
4.5 Recognition of Payments,
Statements, and Audit Rights. The payment of the Individual
Subscription Amounts set forth herein shall accrue upon the activation of an
individual patient’s and/or physician’s subscription to Monitoring through the
physicians to whom PARI sells the CHC Unit via the PARI Network, and shall be
paid monthly to PARI on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month following the end
of each preceding calendar month or on the 15th day after the end of the period
in respect of which the payment is being made pursuant to Section 4.4 above (but
in such case no less frequently than quarterly). Each payment hereunder shall be
accompanied by a written report certified by an executive officer with respect
to the payments due to PARI pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the
preceding calendar month, which shall set forth the following
information:
|
(i)
|
number
of subscriptions for Monitoring activated through the physicians and/or
patients to whom PARI sells the CHC Units via the PARI
Network;
|
|
(ii)
|
total
billing for subscriptions for Monitoring activated through the physicians
and/or patients to whom PARI sells the CHC Units via the PARI Network;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
total
payment due.
|
Furthermore,
ALRT agrees to maintain detailed and accurate records sufficient to substantiate
the calculation of payments made hereunder during the Term and otherwise for so
long as a subscription for Monitoring activated through the physicians and/or
patients to whom PARI sells the CHC Unit via the PARI Network
endures. During such time period, PARI or its designee may, from time
to time, inspect such records and all other books and records of ALRT (and its
agents) related to the Intellectual Property Rights to verify the accuracy of
payments made hereunder; provided, however, that ALRT shall receive at least two
(2) business days prior written notice of such inspections, and such inspections
shall take place at ALRT’s offices during ALRT’s regular business
hours. In addition, PARI and its representatives shall at all times
be granted access to appropriate portions, subject to compliance with all
applicable laws, of ALRT’s (and its agents’) database to verify usage of the
Monitoring. PARI or its designee shall bear all costs of such
inspections, unless a particular audit reveals an underpayment of 5.0% or more
of the amount that should have been paid to PARI for the period audited, in
which case ALRT shall bear the expense of such audit. In the event of
any underpayment, ALRT shall promptly remit to PARI all amounts due plus
interest at a rate of the lesser of (i) one-and-one-half percent (1 ½%) per
month from the date the discrepancy occurred; or (ii) the maximum amount allowed
by applicable law.

OWNERSHIP
AND PROTECTION OF
INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS
Section
5.1 Ownership. Nothing

xxxxx XXXX any rights other than the rights expressly licensed
hereunder. PARI acknowledges ALRT’s ownership in the Intellectual
Property Rights. The
12
parties
acknowledge and agree that PARI shall retain ownership of its medical devices,
systems and technologies and all improvements thereto, and that nothing in this
Agreement or in the use of such devices, systems and technologies as
contemplated by this Agreement shall grant ALRT any rights other than the rights
expressly granted hereunder. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute all
necessary documents to effect the other’s ownership in rights granted or arising
under this Agreement, if necessary.
Section
5.2 Infringement by Third
Parties. If either party learns of any activity by a third
party that might constitute infringement or unauthorized use of the Intellectual
Property Rights, or if any third party asserts that PARI’s, an Affiliate of
PARI’s, or a sublicensee’s use or manufacture of the Products constitutes
unauthorized use or infringement, such party shall so notify the other party in
writing within thirty (30) days of its discovery and the parties will discuss
appropriate causes of action. ALRT shall have the first right to bring, at its
own expense, an infringement action against any third party, holding PARI
harmless in such event. If ALRT does not file an infringement action
with respect to such third party activity within thirty (30) days of the written
notice, then PARI shall be entitled to bring such infringement action at its own
expense. The party conducting an action hereunder shall control the
conduct of the infringement litigation. Each party hereto shall make
reasonable efforts to assist the other party, at such other party’s expense,
with any action or litigation resulting from such activity, including providing
such evidence and expert assistance as each party may have within its
control.
Section
5.3 Claims by Third
Parties. If:
(a) claims or suits are made against PARI or ALRT by a party asserting ownership
of rights in the Intellectual Property Rights and/or Product(s), or any portion
thereof; (b) use of a particular element of the Intellectual Property Rights
and/or Products by PARI, its Affiliates or sublicensees infringes the rights of
such party; or (c) the parties learn that another party has or claims such
ownership rights that would or might conflict with the proposed or actual use of
the Intellectual Property Rights and/or Product(s), PARI and ALRT will, in any
such case, consult with each other on a suitable course of action and agree in
writing on how to proceed.
Section
5.4 Additional
Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if a party reasonably believes that the other party may fail to take
any action required with respect to an infringement action described in Section
5.2 or a claim by a third party set forth in Section 5.3 within a reasonable
time, then such party shall provide the other party with written notice of such
deficiency. If the party receiving such deficiency notice fails to
take the required action within 30 days of the date of such notice, the
notifying party shall have the right to thereafter take any such required action
and the party having received the notice shall promptly reimburse the notifying
party for any costs and expenses incurred with respect to the
foregoing.
Section
5.5 Recovery of Damages for
Infringement by Third Parties. Any sum recovered in such
action or litigation referenced in Section 5.2 or 5.3, whether by way of
judgment, settlement or otherwise, shall be used first to reimburse PARI for all
direct, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees,
expert witness fees, court costs and the like, incurred in the prosecution or
defense of such action or litigation. If, after such
13
reimbursement,
any funds shall remain from such recovery, ALRT shall be entitled to twenty
percent (20%) of such funds and PARI shall be entitled to eighty percent (80%)
of such funds.

Section
6.1 Manufacturing. During
the Term, PARI, its Affiliates and permitted sublicensees shall have the right

requires in connection with its rights under this Agreement. ALRT shall provide
such assistance to PARI, its Affiliates and permitted sublicensees in connection
with specifications and other terms as PARI shall reasonably
request.
Section
6.2 Price and
Payment. ALRT agrees to make available ALRT’s proprietary
integrated circuit Version 1.13 (" ALR Chip") for
manufacture of CHC
Units to PARI, its Affiliates and permitted sublicensees. PARI will
order the ALR Chip directly from ALRT’s supplier at a cost as described on
Schedule 3, provided, however, that if the CHC Unit receives a reimbursement
code from a governmental agency then the parties shall discuss in good faith a
reasonable profit margin on the ALR Chip for ALRT taking into account the cost
of the ALR Chip and the reimbursement amount. ALRT agrees to sign the
authorizations and any and all other documents as may reasonably be required for
PARI to order the ALR Chip directly from the supplier.
