LICENSE TO PRODUCE ETHANOL AND OTHER BIOFUELS.
|
(a) |
Licensors hereby grant to BNAL an exclusive license in North America (as
defined herein) to use the Technology as described in the Technology Patents and any
modifications, extensions or improvements to the Technology Patents subject to the
further conditions set forth in this Agreement. North America shall include the
United States and Canada. No other person, including the Licensors, shall be
entitled to use the Technology for the purposes licensed to BNAL hereunder in North
America during the term of this Agreement. The License shall include all know-how,
data, designs, and other information developed by Licensors in connection with the
Technology, now existing or developed at any time during this Agreement.
|
(b) |
Consideration: In consideration therefore, upon signing this agreement
BNAL shall pay Licensors $1.00 U.S.
|
||
(c) |
Royalty: In addition to the above consideration, BNAL shall pay Licensors
a Royalty equal to $1.00 for each dry ton of biomass produced using the Technology
where the biomass is used for the production of energy products. BNAL shall not be
required to pay a royalty if the biomass produced using the Technology is used for
research or testing purposes. Within thirty days prior to the first use of the
Technology by BNAL whereby a royalty shall be generated, BNAL and Licensors shall
agree in writing as to a commercially reasonable method for determining the amount of
biomass derived using the Technology; provided that if at such time the parties have
not made such determination, either party may submit the matter to arbitration in
accordance with Paragraph 16 of this Agreement and the determination of the
arbitrator in such matter shall be final and binding on all parties hereto. BNAL
shall retain all records relating to the use of the Technology for the production of
biomass for a period of three years. Licensors shall be entitled to inspect such
records at BNALs offices during regular office hours at any time during the term of
this Agreement after five days written notice. If Licensors examination reveals a
discrepancy of ten percent or more on any payments owed Licensors hereunder and such
amount is agreed by the parties to be correct or ultimately determined to be correct
by other means, BNAL shall be required to pay Licensors the costs of any examination
or proceedings necessary to discover and collect such discrepancy.
|
||
The Royalty payable hereunder shall be payable quarterly (based on calendar
quarters) and shall be due and owing within thirty days after the end of each
such quarter during the term of this Agreement. The amount due hereunder may be
paid in cash or stock, which shall be determined by Licensors in their sole
discretion. If Licensors desire to be paid in cash, Licensors shall so notify
BNAL in writing at least ten days prior to the end of the quarter in which
payment is due. If no such notice is received, payment shall be in the form of
Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share of BNAL, provided that at such time
such Common Stock is publicly tradable on a recognized exchange, quotation
system or over the counter market. The value of such stock for determining the
amount due Licensors shall be the price obtained by the average daily closing
price for shares of such stock on the five days preceding the end of the
applicable quarter for which payment is due. If on the last day of the quarter
for which any payment hereunder is due, BNALs Common Stock is not publicly
tradable on a recognized exchange, quotation system or over the counter market,
BNAL shall be required to make payment for that quarter in cash.
|
2
(d) |
Enhancements. Each party shall own any and all improvements to the
Technology made at its expense and costs, however, each party agrees to
license to the other party any enhancements it makes to the Technology. (Such
enhancements created by Licensors shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement.) Such enhancements shall be delivered promptly upon their
development.
|
||
(e) |
Term and Termination. This Agreement shall be for the later of a term of
twenty one years from the date hereof or the date of expiration of the Technology
Patents, including any extensions, modifications or amendments thereto, unless
terminated sooner by a party. Either BNAL or Licensors, as the case may be, may
terminate this Agreement upon breach by the other party of any covenant or
representation or warranty in this Agreement by providing sixty days notice if the
breaching party fails to cure such breach in the sixty day period after notice.
Licensors may terminate this agreement in the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, or
dissolution of BNAL; BNALs failure or inability to commence construction of the
Commercial Development within 2 years from the date hereof; or BNALs abandonment of
any reasonable efforts to exploit the Technology.
