The licensee shall also reimburse the Licensor the amount of $27,597 CAN for all past reasonable expenses associated with the filing, maintenance, legal fees and other reasonable expenses (as per the exclusive option agreement) incurred for Patent Rights (i.e. specifically, the expenses associated with the Provisional and PCT applications incurred for the Patent Rights, primarily before January 1, 2003, and to which the Licensor can provide invoices and/or copies of payments to third parties and to which the Licensee has not already reimbursed the Licensor for). The license fee and reimbursement fees are to be paid to Licensor within 30 days of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

3.2 The Licensee shall pay to the Licensor an annual maintenance fee of [^*…***…] on each anniversary date of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

3.3 The Licensee shall pay the Licensor during the term of this Agreement, in the manner designated herein, milestone royalty payments for the development of each Licensed Product for use in the Licensed Application by the Licensee, an Affiliate, or Sublicensee, as follows:

(a) A milestone payment of […***…] dollars (CAN $[…***…]) upon successful completion of […***…].

(b) A milestone payment of […***…] dollars (CAN $[…***…]) upon successful completion of […***…].

(c) A milestone payment of […***…] dollars (CAN $[…***…]) upon successful completion of […***…].

^* ***Confidential Treatment Requested

Page 6 of 20

(d) A milestone payment of [^*…***…] dollars (CAN $[…***…]) upon […***…].

Milestone payments shall not be credited against royalties on sales of Licensed Products, Licensed Processes or Licensed Services and shall be due to Licensor within thirty (30) days of completing each milestone.

3.4 The Licensee shall pay to the Licensor a running royalty of […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of Gross Sales made by the Licensee, an Affiliate, and/or Sublicensees for each Licensed Product(s) or Licensed Process(es) sold, and for each Licensed Service(s) provided by the Licensee, an Affiliate, and/or Sublicensee during the term of this Agreement.

3.5 The payment of all running royalties are due and payable to Licensor within 45 days of each respective Royalty and Other Consideration Payment Due Date and are to be calculated with respect to the Gross Sales in the three month period immediately preceding the applicable Royalty and Other Consideration Payment Due Date.

3.6 Any transaction, disposition or other dealing involving all or part of the Patent Rights or Licensed Products, Licensed Processes or Licensed Services or sublicensing, between the Licensee and another person that is not made at fair market value is deemed to have been made at fair market value, and the fair market value of the transaction, disposition, or other dealing will be added to and deemed part of the Gross Sales as the case may be and will be included in the calculation of royalties under this Agreement.

3.7 In addition to the running royalties payable with respect to Gross Sales under Article 3.4, the Licensee shall pay to the Licensor […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of any Other Consideration received by the Licensee from a Sublicensee or an Affiliate. Other Consideration does not include revenues or consideration associated with Gross Sales (as identified in Article 3.4). Similar to Article 3.5, the payment of any Other Consideration is due and payable to the Licensor within 45 days of each respective Royalty and Other Consideration Payment Due Date, and is to be calculated with respect to the three month period immediately preceding the applicable Royalty and Other Consideration Payment Due Date.

3.8 Licensed Products, Licensed Processes and/or Licensed Services are deemed to have been sold or provided by the Licensee and included in Gross Sales when paid for. The Licensee is deemed to have received Gross Sales or Other Consideration from Affiliates or Sublicensees when the Gross Sales or Other Consideration is received by the Licensee from an Affiliate or a Sublicensee.

3.9 In partial consideration for the rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement, the Licensee shall issue 177,864 common shares in the capital stock of the Licensee to each of IDC and JHU. Said capital stock shall be issued in accordance with the terms of a separate Stock Agreement.

3.10 License signing, maintenance, and other fees, running royalties, milestone payments, equity, or Other Consideration received by the Licensor from the Licensee are not refundable, in whole or in part, under any circumstances.

3.11 In the event that the Licensee or an Affiliate or Sublicensee is required to integrate other products or processes with the Licensed Products, Licensed Processes or Licensed Services in order to effectively market, distribute, sell or resell Licensed Products, Licensed Processes or Licensed Services, for which it has to pay royalties to a third party, the Licensor agrees, on a case by case basis, as applicable, to negotiate appropriate adjustments to the running royalty rate and to the any Other Consideration where such other products and processes form a substantial part of the Licensed Products, Licensed Processes or Licensed Services. If the combined royalty rates of the additional technology licenses plus two percent exceeds […***…] percent then the royalty rate of the Licensor will be reduced by one half of the amount in

^* ***Confidential Treatment Requested

Page 7 of 20

excess of [*…***…] percent, though in no circumstances will the royalty rate of the Licensor be reduced to less than […***…] percent ([…***…]%). As one example, if the additional royalty rate of the additional technology license was […***…]%, then the total potential royalty rate to the Licensee would be […***…]% (i.e. Licensor at […***…]); therefore, by the above terms, the Licensor’s royalty rate for this integrated entity would be reduced to […***…]% (based on: […***…] x […***…]). As a second example, if the additional royalty rate of two other additional technology licenses was […***…]%, then the total potential royalty rate to the Licensee would be […***…]% (i.e. Licensor at […***…]); therefore, by the above terms, the Licensor’s royalty rate for this second integrated entity would be reduced to […***…]% (based on: […***…] x […***…], but where the Licensor’s royalty rate cannot be reduced below […***…]%).

3.12 The Licensee shall provide an Accounting to the Licensor within forty-five (45) days after each Royalty and Other Consideration Payment Due Date during the term of this Agreement. All such statements shall include a calculation of the amount due to the Licensor for the running royalties, if any, payable under this Agreement (as described in Article 3.4), a calculation of the amount of any Other Consideration (as described in Article 3.8), if any, to be paid to the Licensor and a remittance to the Licensor of the amounts shown to be payable. All such statements shall also include an Accounting setting out in detail how the amount of all Gross Sales and of all Other Consideration were determined and identifying each Sublicensee and Affiliate and the location of the business of each Sublicensee and Affiliate.

3.13 The calculation of all Gross Sales and Other Consideration due to the Licensor will be carried out in accordance with generally accepted Canadian accounting principles (“GAAP”), or the standards and principles adopted by the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) applied on a consistent basis.

3.14 All payments and statements to be submitted by the Licensee to the Licensor shall be sent to IDC and IDC shall apportion and distribute all payments received from the Licensee between IDC and JHU in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Inter-Institutional Agreement.

3.15 All amounts payable to the Licensor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be calculated and paid in Canadian dollars.

3.16 All overdue accounts shall bear an interest of 1.5% compounded for each thirty day period the account is overdue.
