SCHEDULE 2
Royalty Obligations arc in accordance with the following Royalty Policy:
BT2 INTERNATIONAL, INC.
DIRECTORS' RESOLUTION
Business Model/Royalty Policy
Business Model
BT2 International, Inc. has developed the BT2 watch (hereinafter know as BT2) that is intended for mass production and sale to mature adults who need assistance with their daily living and could benefit from the BT2 ability to monitor their xxxxx xxxxx on a regular basis.
The Company intends to market the BT2 similar to a cellular phone. The BT2 unit will be provided to a customer at a "nominal" price, plus a monthly fee to monitor the results from the unit. Current planning provides for the BT2 to be sold at approximately $100 per unit and the monthly monitoring fee to be approximately $30 per month.
The BT2 will be sold by a network of distributors around the world and will be monitored by security companies, phone companies, etc. The vital sign results from the BT2 will be assessed by the computers that receive the signals and the monitor/computer will determine what type of corrective action may be needed on a patient by patient basis.
Royalty Policy
BT2 International, Inc. will split its revenue into 2 categories:
1. BT2 unit sales
2. Monthly monitoring revenue
Since the units are sold at a "nominal" price, there will be little or no profit derived from these sales. It is the monthly monitoring revenues that will produce a healthy revenue stream and significant profits. The margins on this revenue stream will be substantial.
The $30 per month revenue stream will be divided amongst the distributor, the monitoring company and BT2 International, Inc. Our current expectations are that BT2 International, Inc. will receive between $10 and $20 per month for each of these units sold. Final determination of how this monthly fee will be allocated will depend on the country and the company that is engaged to monitor the units.
19
BT2 International, Inc. intends to place 30% of its revenue (between $10 and S20 per month for each of these units) from this monthly monitoring fee into a royalty pool.
Payments will be made from this royalty pool to the following 3 parties:
1. Royalty Unit Holders
a. Royalty Unit Holders are those people/corporations who have purchased a unit as an investment in BT2 International, Inc.
b. The Royalty Units will be considered "Non-mature" until they have been repaid for 2 times the amount of the purchase price
c. The Royalty Units will be considered "Mature" once they have been repaid for 2 times the amount of the purchase price
d. Once the Royalty Units have been repaid for 2 times the amount of the purchase price and have "Matured" the formula for determining the amount of the royalty due to these Units will change.
2. Exmocare LLC, et al
a. Exmocare LLC and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx are the inventors of BT2
b. As part of the creation of BT2 International, the inventors are due to be paid a royalty.
3. Shareholders of BT2 International, Inc.
The formula for determining the amounts of these payments are as follows:
● During the period that the Royalty Units have not matured:
1.
|
60% of the amount placed into the royalty pool shall be paid to the Royalty Unit holders
|
2.
|
15% of the amount placed into the royalty pool shall be paid to Exmocare LLC, et al
|
3.
|
25% of the amount placed into the royalty pool shall be paid to the shareholders of BT2 International, Inc.
|
● After the Royalty Units have matured:
1.
|
10% of the amount placed into the royalty pool shall be paid to the Royalty Unit holders
|
2.
|
25% of the amount placed into the royalty pool shall be paid to Exmocare LLC, et al
|
3.
|
65% of the amount placed into the royalty pool shall be paid to the shareholders of BT2 International, Inc.
|
The amount of royalties to be placed into the royalty pool shall be calculated quarterly and shall be paid within 15 days after the end of each quarter.
