2.2   

LICENSOR hereby expressly gives LICENSEE the right to sublicense pursuant to, and under the same terms as, this agreement, to third parties so long as those parties are approved in writing by LICENSOR, and as long as any sublicensees agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.


2.3

LICENSEE agrees to attempt to make a press release shortly after signing this agreement and agrees to use its best efforts to publish an article in a suitable industry trade journal regarding the license with the next year.


2.4

LICENSEE, including any and all sublicensees, and LICENSOR shall communicate to each other, on a timely basis, i.e., within 90 days, any improvements developed during the TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT that are directly related to the structure or manufacture of the ENCAPSULATED ANTI-BALLISTIC MATERIALS   or PRODUCTS, or any improvements developed by LICENSEE or LICENSOR during the TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT that are directly related to making or using the ENCAPSULATED ANTI-BALLISTIC MATERIALS. To the extent that property rights exist in the aforesaid improvements, including intellectual property rights, those rights shall be assigned to and belong to LICENSOR.


2.5

LICENSOR and LICENSEE shall communicate to each other any improvements developed during the TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT that are directly related to the structure of the PRODUCTS, or any improvements developed by LICENSOR during the TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT that are directly related to making or using the PRODUCTS.

However, any subsequent sublicensees shall have to pay a royalty on the improvement in accordance with the royalty schedule of Article 3, just as it would for any other LICENSED TECHOLOGY.


2.6

All rights in the LICENSED PATENTS, except those expressly conveyed or granted in this AGREEMENT are reserved by LICENSOR.


2.7

An exclusive license is hereby granted by LICENSOR to LICENSEE to sublicense individual sponsors of government funded programs that are initiated by LICENSEE within the United States Department of Defense.  Such individual sponsors include, for example, the laser de-painting project that the LICENSEE is engaged in with the Marine Corp Parts Depot in Barstow, California that is sponsoring the LICENSEE.  Such exclusive relationships shall be detailed in writing to LICENSOR for each and every individual sponsor relationship.  


2.8

In order to achieve exclusivity for a relationship with a particular individual sponsor, LICENSEE shall provide a Letter of Interest signed by the individual sponsor for the files of LICENSOR.  Such Letters of Interest shall indicate that a financial and time investment is anticipated for the research and development of the project being investigated, and as such will also serve as proof to other non-exclusive licensees that LASERA deserves a limited exclusive license for that customer.


2.9

During the term of the license agreement, in order to achieve a limited exclusivity for a relationship with a particular government or non-government customer, a signed Letter of Interest must by executed by the non-government customer and submitted to LICENSOR for comparison with any other projects engaged in by other non-exclusive LICENSEES for availability. Such Letters of Interest shall indicate that a financial and time investment is anticipated for the research and development of the project being investigated, and as such will also serve as proof to other non-exclusive licensees that LASERA deserves a limited exclusive license for that customer.


 

2.10

If such a limited exclusive arrangement with a government or non-government customer does not produce a royalty by the end of two years from the
date of the Letter of Interest, LICENSEE will pay Global Tech a $10,000 Retention Fee and will continue to pay $10,000 each year thereafter, up to five years, provided the agreement is still in effect, for each account that does not produce a royalty, unless a written Notice of Account Release is provided to LICENSOR by LICENSEE. LICENSEE considers a two-year period of time to be an aggressive schedule because of the Research and Development involved.

11.2

In no event shall the TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT extend beyond the date of expiration of the last patent or patent application in the LICENSED PATENTS to expire, and then this AGREEMENT shall expire without notice.


11.3

The parties agree that if any part, term or provision of this Agreement shall be found illegal or in conflict with any valid controlling law, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.


13.2

In the event the legality of any provision of this Agreement is brought into question because of a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction, LICENSOR, by written notice to LICENSEE, may revise the provision in question or may delete it entirely so as to comply with the decision of said court.


ARTICLE 14: WAIVER, INTEGRATION, ALTERATION


14.1

The waiver of a breach hereunder may be affected only by a writing signed by the waiving party and shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach.


14.2

This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties, and supersedes all other agreements, express or implied, between the parties concerning PATENTS and IMPROVEMENTS.



14.3

A provision of this Agreement may be altered only by a writing signed by both parties, except as provided in paragraphs 13.1 and 13.2, above.




ARTICLE 15: MARKING


15.1 LICENSEE shall place in a conspicuous location on LICENSED PRODUCTS, a patent notice in accordance with 35 U.S.C. §282. LICENSEE agrees to mark any products made using a process covered by any PATENT or IMPROVEMENT with the number of each such patent and, with respect to such PATENTS and IMPROVEMENTS, to respond to any request for disclosure under 35 U.S.C. §287 (b)(4)(B) by only notifying LICENSOR of the request for disclosure.


ARTICLE 16:  BUY-SELL FOR FUTURE EXCLUSIVE LICENSE HOLDER


16.1

LICENSOR and LICENSEE hereby agree that in the event that a third party wishes to negotiate the purchase of an exclusive license, that would include this license as a subset, then, if LICENSOR and LICENSEE are agreeable with the third party offer, they shall negotiate in good faith to accommodate the new third party sale. This means that any sublicensee of this contract shall also negotiate in good consideration, if at all possible. If both parties disagree as to the value, on the ongoing business that is in progress, then an outside auditor or intellectual property evaluator may be commissioned as agreed to by all parties.


ARTICLE 17: PUBLICITY AND PUBLICATIONS


17.1

LICENSEE hereby warrants that at least one published article shall be made each year in an industrially recognized publication relating to the LICENSED TECHNOLOGY. LICENSEE understands that there is a duty, under this agreement, to acquire written approval from the patent counsel of LICENSOR prior to the submission of any publication materials to such a periodical or publication, if it contains new intellectual property. LICENSEE understands that patent documents may need to be filed in order to secure intellectual property rights, LICENSEE shall not endanger those rights by publishing any scientific or technical data, recordings, charts, or any other information which may be considered proprietary to this agreement.  If a publication is held by counsel for review for patent protection then it obviates the requirements of 17.1.


17.2

With respect to any announcements made by LICENSEE, regarding LICENSOR, prior written approval must be given by LICENSOR, because LICENSOR is a public corporation. In publicizing anything made, used, or sold under this Agreement, LICENSEE shall not use the name of LICENSOR or otherwise refer to any organization related to LICENSOR, except with the written approval of LICENSOR.



ARTICLE 18: APPLICABLE LAW
