EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.47

This license agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective this 8^th day of February 2018 (“Effective Date”), by and between Torque Research & Development, Inc. (“Licensor” or “TRD”) and MyDx, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Licensee”).

BACKGROUND

A. Certain IP, trade secrets, know how, inventions, generally characterized as “Manufacturable, Medical Grade Plastic Smart Devices and Related Medical Software Applications for Prescribers, Administrators and Patient Applications.” (collectively “Invention”), were made in the course of research at Licensor.

D. The Licensee has evaluated the Invention under a Secrecy Agreement with TRD with an effective date of January 19, 2017.

E. The Licensee and Licensor have executed an Option Agreement with an effective date of February 8, 2017.

F. The Licensee and Licensor have entered into a research agreement on February 8, 2017 (“Research Agreement”).

G. The Licensee wishes to obtain certain rights from TRD for the commercial development of the Invention, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and

H. The scope of such rights granted by Licensor is intended to extend to the scope of the patents and patent applications in Patent Rights, but only to the extent that Licensor has proprietary rights in and to the Valid Claims of such Patent Rights or Inventions.

I. Both parties recognize and agree that Earned Royalties are due under this Agreement with respect to products, services and methods and that such royalties will be paid with respect to Inventions including but not limited to pending patent applications and issued patents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

K. Both parties recognize and agree that Earned Royalties due under this Agreement will be based on the Licensee’s or a Sublicensee’s last act of infringement of Invention and/or Patent Rights within the control of the Licensee or a Sublicensee, regardless of whether the Licensee or a Sublicensee had control over prior infringing acts; the parties intend that Earned Royalties due under this Agreement will be calculated based on the Net Sales of the product or service resulting from the last act of infringement by the Licensee and its Sublicensees.

The parties agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

As used in this Agreement, the following terms, whether used in the singular or plural, shall have the following meanings:

1.2 “Attributed Income” means the total gross proceeds (exclusive of Earned Royalties of Sublicensees but including, without limitation, any license fees, maintenance fees, or milestone payments), whether consisting of cash or any other forms of consideration and whether any rights other than Patent Rights are granted, which gross proceeds are received by or payable to the Licensee, any Affiliate and/or Joint Venture from any Sublicensee in consideration of the grant of a sublicense under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Attributed Income shall not include proceeds attributed in such sublicense or such agreement, arrangement or other relationship to bona fide (i) debt financing; (ii) equity (and conditional equity, such as warrants, convertible debt and the like) investments in the Licensee at market value; (iii) reimbursements of Patent Prosecution Costs actually incurred by the Licensee; and (iv) reimbursement for the actual cost of documented research and/or development services undertaken by the Licensee prior to the effective date of the sublicense for the applicable field of use of such sublicense and reimbursement for the actual cost of research and/or development services provided after the effective date of the sublicense by Licensee for the applicable Sublicensee under such sublicense on the basis of full-time equivalent (“FTE”) efforts of personnel at or below commercially reasonable and standard FTE rates. For the avoidance of doubt, any gross proceeds meeting the definition set forth above in this Article 1.2 shall be “Attributed Income” irrespective of whether such gross proceeds are received under one or more separate agreements and irrespective of how such gross proceeds are referred to or characterized by the Licensee or the Sublicensee. Also for avoidance of doubt, once a research and development expense is deducted from Attributed Income for any sublicense it can not be deducted again for that sublicense or any other sublicense.

2. GRANT

2.1 Subject to the limitations and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement Licensor grants to the Licensee a license under its rights in and to Patent Rights to make, use, Sell, offer for Sale and import Licensed Products and Licensed Services and to practice Licensed Methods, in the United States and in other countries where Licensor may lawfully grant such licenses, only in the Field of Use.

2.2 Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the license granted under Patent Rights in Paragraph 2.1 is exclusive.

2.3 The license granted in Paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 is limited to methods and products that are within the Field of Use. In the event that the Field of Use is amended upon mutual written agreement to exclude certain fields, then the Licensee has no license under this Agreement for such excluded fields.

2.4 Licensor reserves and retains the right (and the rights granted to the Licensee in this Agreement shall be limited accordingly) to make, use and practice the Invention and any technology relating to the Invention and to make and use any Products and to practice any process that is the subject of the Patent Rights for educational, clinical and research purposes, including without limitation, any sponsored research performed for or on behalf of commercial entities and including publication and other communication of any research results. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Invention and any technology relating to the Invention are not the subject of the exclusive license under the Patent Rights granted to the Licensee hereunder, Licensor shall be free to make, use, Sell, offer to Sell, import, practice and otherwise commercialize and exploit (including to transfer, license to, or have exercised by, third parties) for any purpose whatsoever and in its sole discretion, such Invention and any Products or processes that are the subject of any of the foregoing.

2.5 This Agreement will terminate immediately if a claim which includes, in any way, the assertion that any portion of Patent Rights is invalid or unenforceable is filed by the Licensee or an Interested Party. For the purposes of this Paragraph 2.7, an Interested Party means any third party who files such a claim on behalf of the Licensee or at the written urging of the Licensee, or is a Sublicensee of Licensee. Notwithstanding the above, if Licensee terminates a Sublicensee who violates this provision within fifteen (15) days following receipt of written notice from Licensor of such violation and the Sublicensee did not violate this provision at Licensee’s urging, then this Agreement will remain in effect.

3. SUBLICENSES

3.1 TRD also grants to the Licensee the right to sublicense to third parties (including to Affiliates and Joint Ventures) the rights granted to the Licensee hereunder, with no right to further sublicense except as provided for in Paragraph 3.2 below, as long as the Licensee has current exclusive rights thereto under this Agreement. Each Sublicensee must be subject to a written sublicense agreement. All sublicenses will include all of the rights of, and will require the performance of all the obligations due to, Licensor other than those rights and obligations specified in Article 6 (License Issue Fee), Article 7 (License Maintenance Fee) and Paragraph 9.5 (Minimum Annual Royalty) and Paragraphs 22.3 and 22.5 (reimbursement of Patent Prosecution Costs). For the avoidance of doubt, Affiliates and Joint Ventures shall have no licenses under this Agreement unless such Affiliates and Joint Ventures are granted a sublicense. For the purposes of this Agreement, the operations of all Sublicensees shall be deemed to be the operations of the Licensee, for which the Licensee shall be responsible.

3.2 Under the terms of each sublicense, each such Sublicensee shall have the limited right (as described below) to grant three (3) further sublicenses (“Further Sublicenses”) to the Sublicensee’s affiliated companies and/or other third parties (each, a “Further Sublicensee”). Each Further Sublicensee shall also have the limited right to grant two (2) additional further sublicenses (“Additional Further Sublicenses”) to an affiliated company and/or other third party (each an “Additional Further Sublicensee”). In each case the term “affiliated company” shall have the same definition as Affiliate in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, with the appropriate sublicensee substituted for Licensee in the definition. Such Further Sublicenses and Additional Further Sublicenses may only be granted to the extent that such Sublicensee or Further Sublicensee deems that they are reasonably needed for the development and commercialization of Licensed Products and the maximization of sales in accordance with this Agreement. Each Sublicensee and each permitted Further Sublicensee and Additional Further Sublicensee shall be subject to a written sublicense agreement that shall be consistent with and not in violation of all of the applicable terms, conditions, obligations, restrictions and other terms of this Agreement that protect or benefit Licensor rights and interests. Licensee shall attach a copy of this Agreement to each sublicense issued under this Paragraph 3.2 and shall specify in the sublicense that the sublicensee must comply with the terms of the Agreement. Licensee may redact the following information from the Agreement, should it wish to do so: License Issue Fee, License Maintenance Fee, Earned Royalties and Minimum Royalties, Milestone Payments, Fees for Patent Rights Added After Effective Date and the Patent Rights not included in the sublicense. Licensee agrees that it shall require appropriate audited and auditable reporting from each Sublicensee, its Further Sublicensees and Additional Further Sublicensees to establish all amounts owed hereunder, and shall make such reports available to Licensor. Licensee shall require each Sublicensee to submit to Licensee progress reports and audited financial reports consistent with the Agreement, and each Sublicensee shall require each Further Sublicensee and Additional Further Sublicensee to submit such progress reports and audited financial reports to Sublicensee which it will deliver to Licensee. Licensee shall make these reports available to TRD. Licensee shall require that each Sublicensee agree to indemnification procedures and insurance coverages consistent with the obligations imposed on Licensee by Article 25 of the Agreement. Licensee shall also require each Sublicensee to obtain comparable indemnification provisions from each Further Sublicensee and each Additional Further Sublicensee.

3.3 In the event that TRD and the Licensee each own an undivided interest in any Patent Rights licensed hereunder, the Licensee will not separately grant a license to any third party under its rights without concurrently granting a license under TRD’ rights on the terms and conditions described in this Article 3 (Sublicenses).

3.4 The Licensee will notify TRD of each sublicense granted hereunder and will provide TRD with a complete copy of each sublicense (along with a summary of the material terms of each such sublicense) and each amendment to such sublicense within thirty (30) days after issuance of such sublicense or such amendment. The Licensee will collect from Sublicensees and pay to TRD all fees, payments, royalties and the cash equivalent of any consideration due TRD. The Licensee will guarantee all monies due TRD from Sublicensees. For clarity, if the Licensee grants a sublicense that contains a provision for payment of royalties by any Sublicensee in an amount that is less than the Sublicensee Royalty required to be paid under Paragraph 8.2 below, then the Licensee will pay to TRD a total amount equal to the Sublicensee Royalty based on the Sublicensees’ Net Sales as provided for in Paragraph 8.2. The Licensee will require Sublicensees to provide it with copies of all progress reports and royalty reports in accordance with the provisions herein and the Licensee will collect and deliver all such reports due TRD from Sublicensees.

3.5 If Licensee licenses patent rights assigned to or otherwise acquired by it (“Licensee’s Patent Rights”), and it believes, in good faith, that the recipient of such license will infringe Patent Rights in practicing the Licensee’s Patent Rights, then the Licensee will not separately grant a license to such recipient under Licensee’s Patent Rights without concurrently granting a sublicense under Patent Rights on the terms required under this Agreement.

3.6 Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all sublicensed rights conveyed to any Sublicensee (but not Further Sublicensees or Additional Further Sublicensees), granted pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement will remain in effect and will be assumed by TRD as binding obligations provided that (a) such Sublicensee is not in breach of its sublicense at the time of expiration or termination of this Agreement; (b) all of the terms of this Agreement are agreed to fully in writing by such Sublicensee; and (c) such Sublicensee acquires no rights from or obligations on the part of TRD other than those that are specifically granted under this Agreement and such Sublicensee assumes all liability and obligations to TRD required of Licensee by this Agreement with respect to TRD’ sublicensed rights, including past due obligations existing at the time of assignment of this Agreement by Licensee. Moreover, TRD will have the sole right to modify each such assigned sublicense to include all of the rights of TRD that are contained in this Agreement, including the payment of Earned Royalties directly to TRD by the Sublicensee as if it were the Licensee at a rate that is no lower than the rate set forth in Article 9 (Earned Royalties and Minimum Annual Royalties) in accordance with Article 5 (Payment Terms). If the Sublicensee fails to meet the above provisions described in this Paragraph 3.6 (a – c) then TRD may terminate its sublicense, in accordance with Article 16 (Termination by TRD). TRD will not be bound to perform any duties or obligations set forth in any sublicense that extend beyond the duties and obligations of TRD set forth in this Agreement, and the Licensee’s obligations to TRD hereunder will be binding upon the Sublicensee.

3.7 In the event that the sublicense granted to the Sublicensee under this Agreement terminates or expires while this Agreement remains in effect, all Further Sublicenses and Additional Further Sublicenses shall automatically terminate or expire, as appropriate.

4. MANDATORY SUBLICENSING

4.1 Commencing on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date, if TRD (as represented by the actual knowledge of the licensing professional responsible for administration of this Agreement) becomes aware of, or if a third party becomes aware of and notifies such licensing professional of, an application or use for Products within the licensed Field of Use but for which Licensed Products have not been developed or are not, at such time, being developed by Licensee (“New Application”), then TRD may give written notice to Licensee thereof.

4.2 Within ninety (90) days of such notice, Licensee shall give TRD written notice stating whether Licensee agrees to develop and commercialize Licensed Products for such New Application (“New Licensed Products”). Such notice shall be accompanied by (i) a detailed development schedule, including specific diligence requirements and development milestones, for the development of New Licensed Products; and (ii) a detailed business plan for the development, marketing and commercialization of New Licensed Products (collectively, the “Development Plan”). If Licensee has not notified TRD within such ninety (90) day period, in accordance with the foregoing, that Licensee agrees to develop and commercialize such New Licensed Products, or if the Development Plan is not reasonably acceptable to TRD, then Licensee shall be deemed to not so agree.

4.3 If Licensee agrees, as set forth in Paragraph 4.2, to develop and commercialize such New Licensed Products, then Licensee shall in accordance with the Development Plan (i) diligently proceed with the development, manufacture and commercialization of such New Licensed Products and (ii) after such New Licensed Product has been developed, earnestly and diligently endeavor to market the same in quantities sufficient to meet market demand. Licensee shall submit a written progress report setting forth in detail the status of such development, manufacture and commercialization every six (6) months to TRD.

4.4 If Licensee does not agree, as set forth in Paragraph 4.2 to develop and commercialize such New Licensed Products, or if Licensee fails to diligently pursue the development and commercialization thereof in accordance with the Development Plan, then TRD shall have the right to seek one or more third parties for the development and commercialization of such New Licensed Products and refer such third party to Licensee so that such third party may request a sublicense allowing for development and commercialization of such New Licensed Products. If the third party requests a sublicense, then Licensee shall report such request, together with the terms and conditions thereof, to TRD within thirty (30) days from the date of such request.

4.5 If Licensee does not grant a sublicense to the third party for the New Application within a reasonable time after such request (and, in any event, within one hundred (100) days after such request), or refuses to grant such sublicense, then Licensee shall promptly, or, in the event of such refusal, within thirty (30) days after such refusal, submit to TRD a written report. Such report will include a written justification for the Licensee’s refusal or failure to grant such sublicense and the license terms proposed by the third party, if any. TRD, at its sole discretion, shall have the right to grant to the third party (and the rights granted to Licensee in this Agreement shall be limited accordingly) a license to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import Licensed Products, to provide Licensed Services and to practice the Licensed Methods within the New Application under terms that TRD determines to be reasonable. All amounts received by TRD pursuant to such license, after recovery by TRD of its expenses in obtaining the license, shall be divided between TRD and the Licensee as follows: sixty percent (60%) to TRD and forty percent (40%) to the Licensee. TRD shall deliver to Licensee its portion thereof.

5. PAYMENT TERMS

5.1 Paragraphs 1.8, 1.9, 1.10 and 1.15 define Licensed Method, Licensed Product, Licensed Service and Patent Rights, so that Earned Royalties are payable on products and methods covered by both pending patent applications and issued patents. Earned Royalties will accrue in each country for the duration of Patent Rights in that country and will be payable to TRD when Licensed Products or Licensed Services are invoiced, or if not invoiced, when delivered or otherwise exploited by the Licensee or Sublicensee in a manner constituting a Net Sale as defined in Paragraph 1.12. Sublicense Fees with respect to any Attributed Income shall accrue to TRD within thirty (30) days of the date that such Attributed Income is due to the Licensee.

5.2 The Licensee will pay to TRD all Earned Royalties, Sublicense Fees and other consideration payable to TRD quarterly on or before February 28 (for the calendar quarter ending December 31), May 31 (for the calendar quarter ending March 31), August 31 (for the calendar quarter ending June 30) and November 30 (for the calendar quarter ending September 30) of each calendar year. Each payment will be for Earned Royalties, Sublicense Fees and other consideration which has accrued within the Licensee’s most recently completed calendar quarter.

5.3 All consideration due TRD will be payable and will be made in United States dollars by check payable to “Torque Research & Development Inc.”. The Licensee is responsible for all bank or other transfer charges. When Licensed Products or Licensed Services are Sold for monies other than United States dollars, the Earned Royalties and other consideration will first be determined in the foreign currency of the country in which such Licensed Products or Licensed Services were Sold and then converted into equivalent United States dollars. The exchange rate will be the average exchange rate quoted in the The Wall Street Journal during the last thirty (30) days of the reporting period.

5.4 Sublicense Fees and Earned Royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Products or Licensed Services and other consideration accrued in, any country outside the United States may not be reduced by any taxes, fees or other charges imposed by the government of such country, except those taxes, fees and charges allowed under the provisions of Paragraph 1.12 (Net Sales).

5.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 29 (Force Majeure) if at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of Earned Royalties or other consideration owed to TRD by the Licensee with respect to any country where a sublicense is issued or a Licensed Product or Licensed Service is Sold or otherwise exploited, then the Licensee shall convert the amount owed to TRD into United States dollars and will pay TRD directly from another source of funds in order to remit the entire amount owed to TRD.

5.6 In the event that any patent or claim thereof included within the Patent Rights is held invalid in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from which no appeal has or can be taken, then all obligation to pay royalties based on that patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct therefrom will cease as of the date of final decision. The Licensee will not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before such final decision and the Licensee shall be obligated to pay the full amount of royalties due hereunder to the extent that TRD licenses one or more Valid Claims within the Patent Rights to the Licensee with respect to Licensed Products or Licensed Services.

5.7 If applicable, no Earned Royalties will be collected or paid hereunder to TRD on Licensed Products or Licensed Services Sold to, or otherwise exploited for, the account of the United States Government as provided for in the license to the United States Government. The Licensee and its Sublicensees will reduce the amount charged for Licensed Products or Licensed Services Sold to, or otherwise exploited by, the United States Government by an amount equal to the Earned Royalty for such Licensed Products or Licensed Services otherwise due TRD. Such reduction in Earned Royalties will be in addition to any other reductions in price required by the United States Government.

5.8 In the event that royalties, fees, reimbursements for Patent Prosecution Costs or other monies owed to TRD are not received by TRD when due, the Licensee will pay to TRD interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) simple interest per annum. Such interest will be calculated from the date payment was due until actually received by TRD. Such accrual of interest will be in addition to and not in lieu of, enforcement of any other rights of TRD due to such late payment.

6. LICENSE ISSUE FEE

6.1 The Licensee will pay to TRD a license issue fee by issuing shares of stock as provided for in Paragraph 6.2 below. This fee is non-refundable, non-cancelable and is not an advance or otherwise creditable against any royalties or other payments required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement.

6.2 Subject to TRD’ Final Approval, as defined below, Licensee shall issue to TRD Forty Six Million Eight Hundred and Seventy Five Thousand (46,875,000) shares of its common stock or equivalent securities having a market value of one hundred thousand United States dollars (US $75,000 or .0016 per share) as of the Effective Date (“Shares”) and deliver to TRD a stock certificate therefor. The Shares shall be issued and the certificate therefor shall be delivered to TRD in the name at its direction within thirty (90) days from the Effective Date or upon the Final Approval, whichever is later.

within seven (7) years after the Effective Date, have a First Commercial Sale of a second Licensed Product or have a second executed sublicense agreement; and

12.3.4

fill the market demand for Licensed Products and Licensed Services following commencement of marketing at any time during the exclusive period of this Agreement.

12.4 If the Licensee is unable to perform any of the above provisions, then TRD has the right and option to either terminate this Agreement or reduce the exclusive license granted to the Licensee to a nonexclusive license in accordance with Paragraph 12.7 below. This right, if exercised by TRD, supersedes the rights granted in Article 2 (Grant).

12.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 12.4, TRD recognizes that, taking into account the need for further research and development of the technology before it will be possible for Licensee to commercialize a Licensed Product, it may be necessary from time to time to amend the milestones of Paragraphs 12.3.2 and 12.3.3. Accordingly, TRD hereby agrees to consider in good faith reasonable proposals from Licensee to amend the milestones of these two Paragraphs in light of Licensee’s experience in implementing its development plan for Licensed Products under this Agreement, and TRD and Licensee agree to discuss and negotiate in good faith the diligence requirements of Paragraphs 12.3.2 and 12.3.3 for a period of ninety (90) days if despite diligent effort by Licensee, Licensee is unable to meet the specified milestone.

12.6 If, however, notwithstanding good faith negotiation, the parties are unable to agree upon any modification to Paragraph 12.3.2 and 12.3.3, then the parties will be under no further obligation to negotiate, and the Agreement’s terms shall govern. No amendment or modification of this Agreement is valid or binding on the parties unless made in writing and signed on behalf of each party.

12.7 To exercise either the right to terminate this Agreement or to reduce the exclusive license granted to the Licensee to a non-exclusive license for lack of diligence required in this Article 12 (Due Diligence), TRD will give the Licensee written notice of the deficiency. The Licensee thereafter has sixty (60) days to cure the deficiency. If TRD has not received written tangible evidence satisfactory to TRD that the deficiency has been cured by the end of the sixty (60)-day period, then TRD may, at its option, terminate this Agreement immediately without the obligation to provide sixty (60) days’ notice as set forth in Article 16 (Termination by TRD) or reduce the exclusive license granted to the Licensee to a non-exclusive license by giving written notice to the Licensee.

12.8 Notwithstanding Paragraphs 12.4 and 12.7, if Licensee is Selling a Licensed Product at the time of termination, then the Licensee will have the right to a limited exclusive license under the Patent Rights but only to the extent required to continue Selling such Licensed Product provided that such Sales are subject to the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to the rendering of reports and payment of earned royalties as required under this Agreement. If Licensee ceases Selling such existing Licensed Product then its continuing rights under this Paragraph 12.8 terminate.

14.1 The Licensee will keep accurate books and records showing all Licensed Product under development, manufactured, used, offered for Sale, imported, Sold and or otherwise exploited; all Licensed Service Sold or otherwise provided; all Net Sales, all Attributed Income, and other amounts payable hereunder; and all sublicenses granted under the terms of this Agreement. Such books and records will be preserved for at least five (5) years after the date of the payment to which they pertain and will be open to examination by representatives or agents of TRD at reasonable times to determine their accuracy and assess the Licensee’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

14.2 TRD shall pay the fees and expenses of such examination. If, however, an error in royalties of more than five percent (5%) of the total royalties due for any year is discovered in any examination, then the Licensee shall bear the fees and expenses of such examination and shall remit such underpayment to TRD within thirty (30) days of the examination results.

22. PATENT PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE

22.1 As long as the Licensee has paid Patent Prosecution Costs as provided for in this Article 22 (Patent Prosecution and Maintenance), TRD will diligently prosecute and maintain the United States and foreign patents comprising the Patent Rights using counsel of its choice. TRD’ counsel will take instructions only from TRD. TRD will provide the Licensee with copies of all relevant documentation so that the Licensee will be informed of the continuing prosecution and may comment upon such documentation sufficiently in advance of any initial deadline for filing a response, provided, however, that if the Licensee has not commented upon such documentation in a reasonable time for TRD to sufficiently consider the Licensee’s comments prior to a deadline with the relevant government patent office, or TRD must act to preserve the Patent Rights, TRD will be free to respond without consideration of the Licensee’s comments, if any. The Licensee agrees to keep this documentation confidential as provided for in Article 33 (Confidentiality).

22.2 TRD shall use reasonable efforts to amend any patent application to include claims reasonably requested by the Licensee to protect the products and services contemplated to be Sold, or the Licensed Method to be practiced, under this Agreement.

22.3 The Licensee will bear the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining all United States and foreign patent applications contemplated by this Agreement (“Patent Prosecution Costs”). Patent Prosecution Costs billed by TRD’ counsel will be rebilled to the Licensee and are due within thirty (30) days of rebilling by TRD. These Patent Prosecution Costs will include, without limitation, patent prosecution costs for the Invention incurred by TRD prior to the execution of this Agreement and any patent prosecution costs that may be incurred for patentability opinions, re-examination, re-issue, interferences, oppositions or inventorship determinations. Prior Patent Prosecution Costs will be due upon execution of this Agreement and billing by TRD and are at least thirty thousand dollars ($30,000).

22.4 The Licensee may request that TRD obtain patent protection on the Invention in foreign countries, if available and if it so desires. The Licensee will notify TRD of its decision to obtain or maintain foreign patents not less than ninety (90) days prior to the deadline for any payment, filing or action to be taken in connection therewith. This notice concerning foreign filing must be in writing, must identify the countries desired and must reaffirm the Licensee’s obligation to pay the Patent Prosecution Costs thereof. The absence of such a notice from the Licensee to TRD will be considered an election not to obtain or maintain foreign Patent Rights.

22.5 The Licensee will be obligated to pay any Patent Prosecution Costs incurred during the three (3)-month period after receipt by either party of a Notice of Termination, even if the invoices for such Patent Prosecution Costs are received by the Licensee after the end of the three (3)-month period following receipt of a Notice of Termination. The Licensee may terminate its obligation to pay Patent Prosecution Costs with respect to any given patent application or patent under Patent Rights in any or all designated countries upon three (3)-months’ written notice to TRD. TRD may continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such application(s) or patent(s) at its sole discretion and expense, provided, however, that the Licensee will have no further right or licenses thereunder. Non-payment of Patent Prosecution Costs may be deemed by TRD as an election by the Licensee not to maintain such application(s) or patent(s).

22.6 TRD may file, prosecute or maintain patent applications or patents at its own expense in any country in which the Licensee has not elected to file, prosecute or maintain patent applications or patents in accordance with this Article 22 (Patent Prosecution and Maintenance) and those applications, resultant patents and patents will not be subject to this Agreement.

23. PATENT MARKING

The Licensee will xxxx all Licensed Products made, used or Sold under the terms of this Agreement or their containers in accordance with the applicable patent marking laws.

24. PATENT INFRINGEMENT

24.1 In the event that TRD (to the extent of the actual knowledge of the licensing professional responsible for the administration of this Agreement) or the Licensee learns of infringement of potential commercial significance of any patent licensed under this Agreement, the knowledgeable party will provide the other (i) with written notice of such infringement and (ii) with any evidence of such infringement available to it (the “Infringement Notice”). During the period in which, and in the jurisdiction where, the Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement, neither TRD nor the Licensee will notify a possible infringer of infringement or put such infringer on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights without first obtaining consent of the other. If the Licensee puts such infringer on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights with respect to such infringement without first obtaining the written consent of TRD and if a declaratory judgment action is filed by such infringer against TRD, then Licensee’s right to initiate a suit against such infringer for infringement under Paragraph 24.2 below will terminate immediately without the obligation of TRD to provide notice to the Licensee. Both TRD and the Licensee will use their diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation.

24.2 If infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated within ninety (90) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, then the Licensee may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. TRD may voluntarily join such suit at its own expense, but may not otherwise commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of the Licensee’s suit or any judgment rendered in that suit. The Licensee may not join TRD as a party in a suit initiated by the Licensee without TRD’ prior written consent. If, in a suit initiated by the Licensee, TRD is involuntarily joined other than by the Licensee, then the Licensee will pay any costs incurred by TRD arising out of such suit, including but not limited to, any legal fees of counsel that TRD selects and retains to represent it in the suit.

24.3 If, within a hundred and twenty (120) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated and if the Licensee has not brought suit against the infringer, then TRD may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. If TRD institutes such suit, then the Licensee may not join such suit without TRD’ consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of TRD’ suit or any judgment rendered in that suit.

24.4 Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be shared by TRD and the Licensee equally to cover any litigation costs each incurred and next shall be paid to TRD or the Licensee to cover any litigation costs it incurred in excess of the litigation costs of the other. In any suit initiated by the Licensee, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared between Licensee and TRD as follows: (a) for any recovery other than amounts paid for willful infringement: (i) TRD will receive fifteen percent (15%) of the recovery if TRD was not a party in the litigation and did not incur any litigation costs, (ii) TRDwill receive twenty-five percent (25%) of the recovery if TRD was a party in the litigation whether joined as a party under the provisions of Paragraph 24.2 or otherwise, but TRD did not incur any litigation costs, and (iii) TRD will receive fifty percent (50%) of the recovery if TRD incurred any litigation costs in connection with the litigation; and (b) for any recovery for willful infringement, TRD will receive fifty percent (50%) of the recovery. In any suit initiated by TRD, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will belong to TRD. TRD and the Licensee agree to be bound by all determinations of patent infringement, validity and enforceability (but no other issue) resolved by any adjudicated judgment in a suit brought in compliance with this Article 24 (Patent Infringement).

24.5 Any agreement made by the Licensee for purposes of settling litigation or other dispute shall comply with the requirements of Article 3 (Sublicenses) of this Agreement.

24.6 Each party will cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the party who initiated the suit (unless such suit is being jointly prosecuted by the parties).

24.7 Any litigation proceedings will be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except that TRD may be represented by counsel of its choice in any suit brought by the Licensee.
