THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
“MyoVista Model” means the electrocardiogram product being developed by the Company to include a novel algorithm for the detection of impaired cardiac relaxation, which is expected to be submitted to the FDA for regulatory approval in 2023, and all subsequent updates or upgrades thereto to the extent that the same contain the Program (irrespective of whether those subsequent updates or upgrades require further FDA approval).”
“This Agreement will commence on the Commencement Date and, subject to earlier termination under Clause 16 (Termination) or Clause 18 (Force Majeure), will continue in full force and effect for five (5) years following the execution of this No.2 Amendment and thereafter shall renew for five (5) year terms unless and until (i) termination under Clause 16 (Termination) or Clause 18 (Force Majeure); or (ii) either the University or the Company gives the other written notice of non-renewal no later than three (3) months prior to any renewal term of this Agreement.”
“With effect following exercise of the Option by the Company and acceptance by the University in accordance with Clause 4.2.1, (which took place on December 23, 2015) the University hereby grants to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a non-exclusive royalty-bearing license in the Territory under the Technology to undertake ECG algorithm and new product research and development activities, including seeking regulatory clearances, and to manufacture, assemble, market, distribute, sell, offer to sell, import or otherwise dispose of products incorporating the Program. The license granted by the University to the Company under this Clause does not extend to a grant of any rights to the Company to develop, adapt or make improvements to the Technology.”
“In consideration of the grant of the licence under Clause 5, the Company shall pay to the University, subject to Clauses 8.5 to 8.8 (inclusive), a licence fee of $20 for each MyoVista

“Notwithstanding Clause 8.2, the parties agree that the Company will pay to the University license fees as follows:
“If, at the end of any twelve (12) month period following the Post Clearance Payment the amount payable by the Company under Clause 8.2 in respect of that period is greater than the amount actually paid to the University by the Company under Clause 8.4 in respect of that twelve (12) month period, the Company shall pay to the University the difference between the amount due under Clause 8.2 and the amount paid under Clause 8.4. Such payment, if due, will be made by the Company within thirty (30) days following the end of the relevant twelve (12) month period and shall be accompanied by a written statement showing the total quantity of (together with details of the relevant batch codes, serial numbers and dates of dispatch) sold, supplied or disposed of by the Company and any Sub-Licensees during the relevant twelve (12) month period.”
