A copy of the License Agreement is attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit A.
As consideration for the transfer of the Siemens Patents and the License related thereto, the Company shall pay to Mr. Rosellini the sum of $3,119,000 in the form of $140,000 in cash and 2,979,000 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock.
Company Obligations Pursuant to the License Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the License Agreement, the Company assumes the following obligations:

Fair Market Value of Patents; Board Approval
The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to provide a fair market value of the Siemens Patents acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and related License Agreement in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. Management and the Company’s Board of Directors have relied on the fair market value provided by the third-party valuation firm in approving the Purchase Agreement transactions. The Board of Directors approved the Purchase Agreement and related transactions on December 15, 2016 in accordance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Management believes the primary value of the transaction is reflected in the patent portfolio acquired.
The Augmented Market Approach (“AMA”) was used to determine the fair market value of the Magnus portfolio. AMA was developed from actual data of patent market transactions. Essentially, the valuation computed from AMA would indicate the fair market value of patents if they were sold in today's Patent Market. The estimated fair value for the Siemens Patents was $3,119,000.

The payment of such interest shall not replace any of Licensee’s other rights under this Agreement resulting from Licensee's and/or its Affiliates’ default by failure to pay any amounts due hereunder. If such interest rate exceeds the maximum legal rate in the jurisdiction where a claim therefore is being asserted, the interest rate shall be reduced to such maximum legal rate.
