2.1 Licensor hereby agrees to permit Licensor to review all Products and Technology. Further, in the event Licensor creates any New Products or New Technology, Licensor shall promptly deliver to Licensee a written notice describing such development in detail (such notice, the “New Product Notice”). For the first thirty (30) days after the date hereof (the “Initial Period”), no payment shall be required for the right granted pursuant to this Section 2.1. In order to extend the rights granted pursuant to this Section 2.1 for an additional period of 150 days (together with the Initial Period, the “Extended Period”), the Licensee shall pay the Licensor the sum of $100,000, to be paid on or before the expiration of the Initial Period.

2.2 On or prior to the expiration of the Extended Period, Licensee shall have the exclusive right to become the exclusive licensee of such Products, New Products or Technology, or to continue to hold such Products, New Products or Technology for an additional period of time. Licensee may only exercise such right by giving timely written notice to Licensor (a “Hold Notice”). In the event Licensee exercises such right, then this Agreement shall be deemed amended to include the Products, New Products or New Technology set forth in the New Product Notice as if such New Products or New Technology were part of the Technology. In order to hold such Products, New Products or Technology for an additional period of one calendar year, the Licensee shall pay the Licensor a fee of $40,000 with respect to each specific product which the Licensee wishes to hold for future development, but not develop at the present time.

If no Hold Notice or License Notice is delivered to Licensor in a timely manner, or if the Development Details are not agreed to in writing in a timely manner, all rights to the Products, New Products or Technology shall revert to the Licensor.

2.3 Licensor hereby further grants to Licensee the right to sublicense to third parties the rights licensed to Licensee in Section 2.1 and 2.2, provided that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are met, where applicable, and that the Licensee obtains Licensor’s prior consent to any proposed sublicense, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld by Licensor.

3.3 Licensee shall deliver to Licensor a statement of sales and royalties with respect to and concurrent with each payment made to Licensor under this Section 3, certified by the Licensor’s Chief Financial Officer (the “Royalty Statement”). Unless within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Royalty Statement by Licensee to Licensor, Licensee shall have received a written objection from Licensor to the Royalty Statement, then such draft shall be considered the final Royalty Statement for such period. If within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Royalty Statement by Licensee to Licensor, Licensee shall have received a written objection from Licensor to the Royalty Statement, then the Licensee and Licensor shall attempt to reconcile their differences diligently and in good faith and any resolution by them shall be final, binding and conclusive. If the Licensee and Licensor are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within ten (10) days of the Licensor’s receipt of the Licensor’s written notice of objection, the parties shall submit such dispute for resolution to an independent accounting firm mutually appointed by the parties (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall determine and report to the parties and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall initially be paid by the Licensor; provided, however, in the event that the Independent Accounting Firm determines that the Licensor’s objection to the Royalty Statement are valid, then the Licensee shall pay the fee payable to the Independent Accounting Firm.
