18.2.

Existing Intellectual Property. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as the Parties may otherwise expressly agree in writing, each party shall continue to own its Intellectual Property existing as of the Effective Date or developed or acquired outside the scope of this Agreement (each Party’s “Separate Intellectual Property”), without conferring any interests therein on the other Party. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, EPIR and SESI shall retain all right, title and interest arising under the United States Patent Act, the United States Trademark Act, the United States Copyright Act and all other applicable United States and foreign laws, rules and regulations relating to the Separate Intellectual Property. Neither Party nor any third party shall acquire any right, title or interest in the other Party’s Separate Intellectual Property by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, except to the extent expressly provided herein.

18.3.

Joint Intellectual Property Developed During The Term. Except as the Parties may otherwise agree in writing, all patents, patent applications, copyrights (whether registered or unregistered), and trademarks (whether registered or unregistered) that are conceived, created or reduced to practice by either Party (or by the Parties together) during the Term and in the course of performing the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement (the “Joint Intellectual Property”) shall be co-owned equally and jointly (50%/50%) by the Parties hereto and, except as expressly limited in this Article 18, each party shall have full rights to freely exploit, transfer, license or encumber its rights in all Joint Intellectual Property. For the avoidance of doubt, “Joint Intellectual Property” does not include any unpatented know-how or information.

18.4.

Prosecution of Joint Patent Rights. All patent applications and patents included in the Joint Intellectual Property shall be defined as “Joint Patent Rights”. SESI shall be responsible for the costs of the mutual patent filings with respect to all Joint Patent Rights. The decision to file for a patent application that would be a Joint Patent Right shall be agreed upon by the TDB, and the TDB shall select a mutually acceptable patent counsel to file and prosecute such patent applications in the name of both Parties. The patent counsel shall be deemed to jointly represent EPIR and SESI and shall take direction from the TDB. If SESI fails to pay the fees and expenses of the selected patent counsel, the parties agree that the patent counsel may withdraw from representation of both parties in matters arising under this Agreement and SESI shall assign to EPIR its entire right, title and interest in and to the Joint Patent Rights. If SESI desires to abandon a Joint Patent Right, then, at least sixty (60) days prior to such Joint Patent Right becoming abandoned, SESI will assign its entire right, title and interest in such Joint Patent Right to EPIR and EPIR may, at EPIR’s sole discretion and expense, file or continue prosecution or maintenance of such Joint Patent Right. In either such event, upon request from EPIR, SESI will execute such documents and perform such acts, at EPIR’s expense, as may be reasonably necessary to effect such assignment and permit EPIR to file, prosecute or maintain such Joint Patent Right.

18.5.

Licenses And Transfers Of Joint Intellectual Property.

18.5.1.

During the Term, neither Party shall grant any license to any third party under the Joint Intellectual Property without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that EPIR may grant licenses under the Joint Intellectual Property to a contract manufacturer that manufactures on EPIR’s behalf.

18.5.2.

After the Term, neither Party shall grant any license under any Joint Intellectual Property without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that the Parties may grant licenses under the Joint Intellectual Property to a contract manufacturer that is manufacturing on the Party’s behalf.

18.5.3.

Both during and after the Term, neither Party shall assign its joint interest in any Joint Intellectual Property to any third party without providing the other Party with written notice (the “Assignment Notice”) at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of such proposed assignment, which notice must identify the proposed assignee and the purchase price such assignee proposes to pay for such Joint Intellectual Property(the “Proposed Price”). Upon receipt of the Assignment Notice, the nonassigning Party shall have the option to purchase the assigning Party’s interest in the Joint Intellectual Property for the Proposed Price, which option the non-assigning party may exercise, within sixty (60) days after receiving the Assignment Notice, by providing the assigning Party with written notice of its desire to exercise the option and paying the Proposed Price. If the nonassigning Party does not exercise this option within such period, the assigning Party may assign its interest in such Joint Intellectual Property to the third party identified in the Assignment Notice at the Assignment Price or any higher price. This Section 18.5.3 shall not apply to a proposed assignment of Joint Intellectual Property in connection with a merger, change of control, or sale of substantially all the assets of the Party’s business to which the Joint Intellectual Property relate.

18.6.

Enforcement Of Intellectual Property. If either Party becomes aware of any infringement of any issued Intellectual Property, such Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect. EPIR shall have the first exclusive right, but not the obligation, to take action to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against such third party to enforce such Intellectual Property and to join SESI as a party plaintiff. If EPIR has not taken any such action or brought such a suit within a period of ninety (90) days after receiving written notice from SESI of such infringement, then SESI shall have the second exclusive right, but not the obligation, to take such action or bring such suit, and to join EPIR as a party plaintiff. If SESI does not take such action or bring such suit within ninety (90) days after the expiration of such period, then neither Party shall take such action or bring such suit without the written consent of the other party. The Party taking the enforcement action shall be the “Enforcing Party” and will bear all the expenses of any such suit brought. The other Party will cooperate with the Enforcement Party in any such suit brought against a third party, and will have the right to consult with the Enforcement Party and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. The Enforcement Party will incur no liability to the other Party as a consequence of such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom; provided, however, that the Enforcement Party will not, without the other Party’s prior written consent, enter into any settlement or consent decree that requires any payment by or admits or imparts liability to the other Party. Any recoveries obtained by the Enforcement Party as a result of any proceeding against a third party infringer of Intellectual Property will be allocated as follows:

(i)

Such recovery will first be used to reimburse each Party for all litigation costs in connection with such litigation paid by that Party;

(ii)

EPIR and SESI will share equally any remaining portion of such recovery after payment of the amounts specified in clause (i).

18.7.

Disclaimer. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted, either expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, as: (i) a grant, transfer or other conveyance by either Party to the other of any right, title, license or other interest of any kind in any the other Party’s Intellectual Property, (ii) creating an obligation on the part of either Party to make any such grant, transfer or other conveyance or (iii) requiring either Party to participate with the other Party in any cooperative development program or project of any kind or to continue with any such program or project.

18.8.

Confidentiality. The protection of each Party’s Confidential Information is described in Article 19. Any disclosure of information by one Party to the other under the provisions of Article 19 shall be treated as the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information under this Agreement (subject to the exceptions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement). When the TDB decides that a patent application should be prepared and filed, both Parties thereby assent to the inclusion into the specification thereof of any Confidential Information necessary under the United States Patent Law to support the claims of the patent application; to the laid open publication of the patent application, at a time which the TDB in its sole discretion may direct; and to the later disclosure, if any, of such Confidential Information as may be necessary to prosecute the patent application to issuance.

19.4.

Limitation Of Disclosure. The Parties agree that information concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall be considered Confidential Information of both Parties and shall not be disclosed without the prior written consent of the other Party.

19.5.

Publicity and SEC Filings. The Parties agree that the public announcement of the execution of this Agreement shall only be by one or more press releases mutually agreed to by the Parties. The failure of a party to return a draft of a press release with its proposed amendments or modifications to such press release to the other party within five (5) business days of such party’s receipt of such press release shall be deemed as such party’s approval of such press release as received by such party. Each party agrees that it shall cooperate fully and in a timely manner with the other with respect to all disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other governmental or regulatory agencies, including requests for confidential treatment of Confidential Information of either party included in any such disclosure.

EXHIBIT B

Technology Development Strategy and Procedure

The “Product List” will be formally identified by the Parties as Energy Products that will be researched and developed under this Agreement.

Initially, the TDB shall produce a “Technology Development Strategy and Roadmap” (TDSR) that identifies key technologies to examine, possible application of the technologies, cost effective manufacturing strategies for Energy Products using the technologies, and concepts for commercialization of the technologies into applications with targeted price points for the systems to be developed.

A key exhibit within the TDSR will be a requirements document that specifies core technologies that will be developed during the Term, strategic sequencing of those technologies, and list of potential products that would be anticipated from the core technologies developed. For example, the development of advanced encapsulates from zinc oxide which enhance the performance of existing PV materials within solar applications would be a candidate for immediate development and commercialization while ongoing efforts for higher efficiency solar materials continue.

It is important that, for each Energy Product, the Product Specifications include, but not be limited to, information specific to New Technology performance criteria, product dimensions, and other pertinent data that will be necessary to develop the New Technology to standards required to sell the SESI Products. This documentation package must be completed and approved, in writing, by the TDB prior to the payment by SESI of the second Scheduled Payment. SESI will pay EPIR an initial payment of $200,000 upon execution of this Agreement for the development of the TDSR and for all work associated with the development of the Product Specification for the first Energy Product.

EXHIBIT C

“Minimum Purchase Commitments”

Upon the development of the New Technologies and prior to the mass manufacturing of the Energy Products, EPIR and SESI shall negotiate, in good faith, a fair and reasonable schedule that delineates the quantities of Product that SESI must purchase from EPIR (“Minimum Purchase Commitments”).

The Parties understand and agree that pertinent market data, competitive product analyses, and other relative information must be carefully reviewed in order to make a fair and reasonable determination as to the quantities to be purchased from EPIR by SESI on an annualized basis. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to develop and agree upon a Minimum Purchase Commitment schedule by the second anniversary of the Effective Date.

EXHIBIT D

“ENERGY PRODUCT PRICING”

EPIR and SESI agree to establish Energy Product Pricing that is favorable to both EPIR and SESI.

Upon completion of development of an Energy Product, EPIR agrees to provide to SESI, in writing, the projected cost of the Energy Product, without markup, at several tiers of mass production. The projected cost will only include the costs specifically associated with the Energy Product, and will be based upon GAAP. Annual audits shall be conducted by a SEC certified auditing firm whereby the actual expenses of the Energy Product will be determined.

Market research shall then be completed by a mutually acceptable, independent and expert organization that specializes in establishing price points for such products. Upon receipt of the suggested price points from this organization, the Parties agree to develop Energy Product Pricing that will be equally beneficial and equally profitable to both EPIR and SESI.

The Parties agree to abide by the recommendations of the abovementioned independent organization as it relates to product pricing.

“SALES PERFORMANCE”

SESI agrees to cause the sale of any and all Energy Products manufactured by EPIR as long as the Energy Products meet or exceeds all of the specifications and parameters set forth by the TDB within the designated timeframe.

Should SESI fail to sell any manufactured Energy Products that meets or exceeds the TDB’s specifications, then EPIR has the right to engage a new sales and marketing firm to distribute the manufactured Energy Products.

EXHIBIT E

“SAMPLE ENERGY PRODUCT PRICE LISTING”

EPIR shall provide a Product Price List to SESI in a format similar to the Sample Price List below:

Part No.	Description	Dimensions	Performance Data	Unit Price
