ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On September 11, 2006, the Company executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Mitsui Babcock Energy Limited (“Mitsui”) agreeing to enter into a formal agreement for the participation and collaboration of Mitsui with the Company to develop steam accumulator technology for use in the Company’s hybrid technologies.
On October 11, 2006, Mitsui and the Company executed the collaboration agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith.
Under the agreement, Mitsui and the Company agreed to collaborate to develop the steam accumulator technology for use in the Company’s hybrid technologies over a period of thirty-six months. Mitsui will provide all that is necessary or as reasonably requested by the Company, including scientists, engineers, experts and other personnel, facilities, equipment and materials. Mitsui will fund up to $400,000 towards the development costs of the accumulator technology and the Company will issue to Mitsui a total of 4,000,000 shares at a deemed price of $0.10 per share within five business days of Mitsui delivering to the Company a subscription agreement.
Within 18 months after the first gas/steam vehicle is publicly unveiled by either Mitsui or the Company, Mitsui has the option to seek cash reimbursement from the Company for all or part of the development costs that Mitsui has incurred up to $400,000. Upon the reimbursement of Mitsui by the Company, Mitsui will return 3,000,000 of the Company’s shares to the Company.
Should Mitsui provide funds toward the development costs in excess of $400,000, Mitsui shall have the option to either request cash reimbursement from the Company for the excess above $400,000 or to take the amount in shares at a price to be negotiated at the time of the election.
All technology and intellectual property developed in connection with the collaboration program or the accumulator technology that are patentable and/or patented or otherwise protected will at all time belong and be owned solely by the Company and Mitsui will require the prior written approval of the Company for the use of any such technology.
2
Any technology or intellectual property which is not patentable or otherwise protected may be used by Mitsui without the prior written consent of the Company.
If the Company is unable to reimburse Mitsui on any call for reimbursement as allowed under the collaboration agreement then the Company will transfer an equal share of the intellectual property to Mitsui so that Mitsui and the Company will own the intellectual property equally.
Each of the Company and Mitsui will bear their respective costs and expenses in connection with the agreement and their participation in the agreement.
The Company will issue up to 100,000 common shares of the Company at the direction of Mitsui to key personnel or employees of Mitsui upon the delivery of a subscription agreement executed by such key personnel or employees.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has caused the appointment of Richard Dennis to the Board of Directors of the Company and the appointment of Alastair Fraser to the Advisory Board of the Company and will continue to maintain these appointments or such other persons as Mitsui may designate for as long as Mitsui owns 2,000,000 shares in the Company.
