As of the Effective Date and subject to the fulfillment of the Parties’ obligations set forth in Section 3.2 below, AB hereby sells, assigns, transfers, and sets over unto the Company his entire right, title and interest in and to all of the Registered Intellectual Property, for the Company's own use and for the use of its assigns, successors, and legal representatives, to the full end of the term of each of the Registered Intellectual Property. To evidence the assignment of the Registered Intellectual Property, AB shall execute a confirmatory intellectual property assignment document for each item of Registered Intellectual Property in substantially the form as set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Intellectual Property Assignment”). If there is any inconsistency between such Intellectual Property Assignment and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, Intellectual Property relating to CO2 pistols, and which is in the process of being registered, shall for the purpose of this Agreement be deemed to form part of the Registered Intellectual Property, and shall be subject to the same royalty payment regime as mentioned in Section 2.5.
2

2.2 Inventions. As of the Effective Date and subject to the fulfillment of the Parties’ obligations set forth in Section 3.2 below, AB hereby sells, assigns, transfers, and sets over unto the Company, for the Company’s own use and for the use of its assigns, successors, and legal representatives, its entire right, title and interest in and to any invention, modification, discovery, design, drawing, development, improvement, process, software program, work of authorship, documentation, formula, data, technique, know-how, trade secret, testing results, molds, prototype produces or intellectual property right or physical property whatsoever or any interest therein (whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright, trademark or similar statutes or subject to analogous protection) in any way related to security devices and related products which fall within the product focus and portfolio of the Company, including but not limited to air and/or CO2 fired long guns or pistols, including pump action launchers as well as the munitions used with these pistols and long guns including the self-stabilizing shaped or “finned” rounds, including rounds for the application of insecticides and other medication to animals, as well as the application of herbicides and fungicides to plants, trees and shrubs, including without limitation, any derivative or evolutionary patents or Inventions, whether realized or not at the time of this Agreement, as well as during the term of AB’s employment pursuant to Section 5, and all logs, records, notes and other work papers related thereto (herein called “Inventions,” and together with the Registered Intellectual Property, the “Assigned Intellectual Property”). For the avoidance of doubt, the assignment of Assigned Intellectual Property under this Agreement includes the assignment of all patents, intellectual property and Inventions used in connection with “Simunition” products, such as rounds to be used with air-fired replica guns for training purposes as well as “wads” designed to allow the shaped rounds to be fired from a 12g shotgun.
2.3 Purchase Price. In consideration of the assignment of the Assigned Intellectual Property, the Company hereby agrees to pay to AB pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 3.2.2, the non-refundable sum of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 United States Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Closing Payment”). The Company will also pay AB, at AB’s discretion, either (a) an additional Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 United States Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Cash Payment”) or (b) stock of the Company having a value at the time of issuance of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 United States Dollars ($750,000.00) (the “Stock Payment,”; the Stock Payment or the Cash Payment, as applicable, is referred to hereinafter as the “Second Payment”). The Second Payment may be made any time within two (2) years from the Effective Date (the “Second Payment Date”), at the sole discretion of the Company. In the event that AB elects to receive the Stock Payment and not the Cash Payment, the Company shall issue to AB the applicable number of Company shares based on the average closing price for the twenty (20) trading days preceding the Second Payment Date.
3

2.4 Failure to Make the Second Payment. In the event that the Company fails to make the Second Payment by the Second Payment Date, AB’s sole remedy and recourse shall be that ownership of the Assigned Intellectual Property shall revert to AB; provided, however, that the Company shall (a) have and retain a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive license to use the “tailfin” technology for 40mm rounds, and (b) have and retain a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use the Assigned Intellectual Property related to any and all products that AB or the Company has developed within two (2) years of the Effective Date. In such event, the Company (i) shall continue to pay the royalty fees for products using the exclusively licensed “tailfin” technology for 40mm rounds under the terms set forth in Section 2.5(b)-(d), and (ii) shall pay AB a royalty fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the Net Sales Price for products that incorporate the non-exclusively licensed Assigned Intellectual Property for as long as the applicable patent is in force and which shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.5(d) hereto. The exclusivity of the license in the 40mm rounds as per Section 2.4(a) is dependent on the Company commercializing the 40mm rounds within 3 (three) years of the Effective Date, failing which, the license shall become non-exclusive at the expiry of said 3 (three) year period.
2.5 Royalty Fees. Until the earlier of (1) the second anniversary of the Effective Date or (2) the date on which the Second Payment is made, the Company will pay AB a royalty fee of ten percent (10%) of the Net Sales Price of any products sold that incorporate the Registered Intellectual Property.
(b) After the date on which the Second Payment is made, the Company shall pay AB a royalty fee based on the following percentages of Net Sales Price of any products sold that incorporate the Registered Intellectual Property during the following time periods:

i) | Four percent (4%) between the date of the Second Payment and the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date;

ii) | Three percent (3%) between the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date and the eighth anniversary of the Effective Date;

iii) | Two percent (2%) between the eighth anniversary of the Effective Date and the last expiration date of any of the Registered Intellectual Property.

(c) The royalty fee payments paid pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall cease on the last expiration date of any of the Registered Intellectual Property.
(d) Royalty fees shall be payable for all sales of products incorporating the Registered Intellectual Property, irrespective of whether any intellectual property is registered in respect of the products in the countries where the products are sold.
(e) Royalty fees due and payable under this Agreement shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the end of each financial quarter in which applicable product sales are made by the Company. Upon written request by AB, the Company shall provide records showing the calculation of the applicable royalty fee payment and Net Sales Price used to determine the royalty fee payment.
4

(f) Over and above all payments provided for herein, and effective one (1) year from Closing, or alternatively, upon AB’s relocation to Boston, whichever is earlier, the Company guarantees that a minimum payment of Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 United States Dollars ($25,000.00) shall be paid to AB every year until such time that the annual Royalty Fees accruing to AB exceeds Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 United States Dollars ($25,000.00) per year, which minimum payment shall be payable at a rate of Two Thousand and Eighty Three and 33/100 United States Dollars ($2,083.33) per month. If the total annual Royalty Fees payable to AB during any year falls below Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 United States Dollars ($25,000.00), the Company guarantees to further pay AB the difference between Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 United States Dollars ($25,000.00) and the actual Royalty Fees paid to AB during such year. The payments provided for in this Section shall not be affected should AB not be able to move to Boston within twelve (12) months, or at any stage, following the Effective Date. The guaranteed minimum payment set forth in this Section 2(f) shall apply for so long as AB is employed by the Company.
(g) As security for the Company’s obligations to pay and perform under Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, the Company hereby grants to AB a continuing security interest in and to the Assigned Intellectual Property. The Company covenants to execute and deliver to AB such documents, instruments and agreements as may be necessary or desirable to evidence and perfect such security interest. AB agrees to, upon Company request from time to time, subordinate the foregoing security interest to a provider of debt financing to the Company.
3. CLOSING AND DELIVERABLES
3.1 Closing. The transactions described under this Agreement shall be consummated on the Effective Date at the offices of the Company or any other alternate location mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Closing”).
3.2 Closing Deliverables. At the Closing, the Parties shall execute and/or deliver the following documents:

3.2.2 Delivery of Closing Payment. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to AB the Closing Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or accounts as AB may specify in writing.

1. Assignment. Assignor hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to Assignee, and Assignee hereby accepts from Assignor, all of Assignor’s right, title and interest, in and to the following (the “Assigned IP”) (a) the patents, patent applications, registered designs and/or registered design applications set forth in Schedule 1, and all issuances, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, reissues, extensions, reexaminations, and renewals thereof; (b) all rights of any kind whatsoever of Assignor accruing under any of the foregoing provided by applicable law of any jurisdiction, by international treaties and conventions, and otherwise throughout the world; (c) any and all royalties, fees, income, payments, and other proceeds now or hereafter due or payable with respect to any and all of the foregoing; and (d) any and all claims and causes of action with respect to any of the foregoing, whether accruing before, on, or after the date hereof, including all rights to and claims for damages, restitution, and injunctive and other legal and equitable relief for past, present, and future infringement, dilution, misappropriation, violation, misuse, breach, or default, with the right but no obligation to sue for such legal and equitable relief and to collect, or otherwise recover, any such damages.
2. Further Assurances. From time to time after the date of this Agreement, Assignor agrees to reasonably assist Assignee and its successors and assigns, upon Assignee’s written request, to evidence, record, and perfect the assignment in Section 1 hereof and to provide such other reasonable assistance as might be required in connection with Assignee’s efforts to secure, enforce, maintain, and defend the assigned rights.

The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, and indemnities contained in the Purchase Agreement shall not be superseded hereby but shall remain in full force and effect to the full extent provided therein. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the terms hereof, the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall govern.

4. Partial Invalidity.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement, and all claims, controversies and disputes arising hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, whether purporting to be sound in contract or tort, or at law or in equity, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts including its statutes of limitations, without regard to any conflicts-of-law principles that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two counterparts (including facsimile and electronic copies (e.g., PDF)) each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement or any related agreement, certificate or other instrument, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by electronic pdf, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
