4.1 Hospital hereby grants to Company the option to obtain (the "Option") an exclusive, world-wide, perpetual, royalty-bearing license to use or otherwise exploit Hospital's interest in Project Intellectual Property, subject to terms and conditions determined in accordance with this Section 4 under reasonable licensing terms. The option shall exist for a period of 12 months after written disclosure of the Project Intellectual Property (the "Option Period"). The Option may be exercised within the Option Period by Company delivering written notice to Hospital (the "Option Exercise Notice").
4.2 If Company exercises the Option, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the specific terms and conditions on which the license shall be granted by Hospital to Company.
4.3 If Company obtains a license to Project Intellectual Property pursuant to this Agreement and reasonably requires the ability to use or otherwise exploit Hospital's intellectual property that is not also Project Intellectual Property, Hospital shall grant a license to use or otherwise exploit such intellectual property, if available, to the extent required for Company to use or otherwise exploit the Project Intellectual Property, and such license shall be negotiated to contain mutually acceptable terms, including but not limited to a term requiring the payment of consideration over and above the royalties applicable to the Project Intellectual Property.

(a) commence suit on its own account;
(b) join with the other party in such suit;
(c) join with any licensee(s) in such suit; or
(d) refuse to participate in such suit by giving written notice to the other party within 30 days or notice by such other party of its intention to commence suit.
Company may permit its licensee(s) to bring suit on its own account and participate in such suit with such licensee(s), but only if Company and Hospital elect not to commence separately or join each other in any suit, other than as a nominal party plaintiff, either by formal notice or by failure to act within the above referenced 30 days for giving written notice.
5.2 The expenses for any legal action instituted under Section 5.1 shall be paid for by the party or parties filing the litigation. If either party elects not to join the litigation, that party shall not have to pay any related legal expenses, and that party shall not be entitled to any proceeds from the litigation.

| | The overall objective of this undertaking is to develop the world's first comprehensive diagnosis, therapeutic and reporting software tool for the treatment of childhood ADD/ADHD. With the assistance of Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and the Hospital for Sick Children, BNAS Inc., leveraging prior intellectual property licenced from ACE Ltd. of Hod HaSharon, Israel, hopes to design and begin marketing this offering within the next 24-30 months. |
| - | What will the technology do and how will it work? |
| | The software is intended to offer an objective diagnosis of ADD/ADHD in children, deliver a software based gaming tool for the therapeutic treatment of this condition and a comprehensive reporting engine customized for the various stakeholders. |
| | |
| - | Why is the project being undertaken (what need will be filled)? |
| | Currently there is no test available on the market that objectively tests for ADD/ADHD. The process today is highly subjective and a number of various methods are utilized by physicians and therapists. Additionally, the market lacks a comprehensive, user friendly and engaging software based program for children to treat ADD/ADHD. The goal is to create a game for children that is both engaging and therapeutic. |

Budget Details
(THIS ANSWERS THE "WHAT ARE WE PAYING FOR" AND "WHEN" QUESTION)
| - | Where did the numbers come from? (e.g. supporting documentation such as quotes, detailed breakdowns) |
| | |
| - | What costs are included within each line item? Eligibility must be determined for anticipated costs |
| | |
| - | How were they calculated? For example: |
| · | Labour and Operating = X number of people at Y salary with Z benefits; X space at Y rate, etc. |
| | |
| | Research Assistant = 1 @ $46,350 (annual salary) with 20% benefits of $9,270 Post Doctoral Student = 1 @ $60,000 (annual salary) with 20% benefits of $12,000 Medical Advisor = 1 @ $15,504 (annual salary) with 20 % benefits of $3,100 (based on $150/hr for 2 hours per week/year) |
| | |
| · | Equipment = What equipment, what cost, used? New? For what duration? Usage costs or full value? |
| | |
| | Equipment purchased for this project will include the purchase of a few new computers and some new computer tablets (i.e. iPads) and related/necessary software for employee use and for design and testing of the application on children. We are including the full value in our budget as these devices become obsolete within 2 years. |
| | |
| | We have also included a modest budget amount for Materials and Supplies of $7,890. This will cover minor office supplies and the purchase of some third-party reports necessary for our user trials. |
| | |
| · | Professional Services = How many consultants for what purpose at what rate for how long; |
| | |
| | Due to the unique nature of this project (modification and enhancements being made to proprietary software) which goes beyond the typical work conducted at HSC, a contractor(s) will be engaged to undertake the design and development of the software code/product as well as the procurement, operation and disposal of necessary hardware and software in order to complete this successfully. The total amount of the grant allocated for these purposes is projected to amount to $181,380. The direct labour portion will amount to $142,120, which is comprised of a 20% allocation of a project manager's time based on an annual salary of $90,000 plus 17% benefits and $100,000 of total software designer/programmer time at $125/hr for 33 hours per month (the actual number of hours per month will be closer to 140 hours). |
| | |
| · | Commercialization costs = description of exactly what this includes, how much... should be broken down (not grouped together) for us to determine eligibility; |
| | |
| | There are no explicit commercialization costs included in our budget. These costs will be entirely born by BNAS. |
| | |
| · | Admin = what expenses does this include, how much, etc. |
| | |
| | The only admin costs that we have included are those that are being remitted to the Ontario Brain Institute. This total amounts to $23,358. |
| - | Everything should be broken down into quarters and fiscal year. |
Milestones and Activities
The estimation of the cost for each milestone is exceedingly difficult to arrive at given the variables that we may encounter during this project. We have estimated to the best of our ability but please understand that there is no way to do this with exact figures.
Milestone/deliverable (what will be delivered once the activity(ies) is/are done?) | Activities (What will be done?) | Objective/Purpose (Why do it? How does it relate to theultimate project goal?) | Start Date | End Date | Cost (Milestone/ deliverable level) | Parties Executing each Activity | Level of Completion (%) | Are you on schedule?
