1.1 FIELD OF THE AGREEMENT means: methods, processes,
compositions and apparatuses for carrying out combustion for the generation of
heat in internal combustion engines, including compression, spark-ignited and
turbine engines, capable of using aqueous fuels and the use of aqueous fuels in
such engines.
1.2 TECHNOLOGY means all information, know-how, and trade secrets
in and to the Field of the Agreement.
1.3 LICENSOR TECHNOLOGY means all proprietary and confidential
Technology, owned or licensable by LICENSOR, now and during the continuance of
this Agreement.

applications in the Field of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
patents, applications and patents issuing on patent applications listed in
Appendix A to this Agreement; (b) future patents and patent applications owned
or licensable by LICENSOR to the extent the claims thereof cover subject matter
in the Field of the Agreement and (c) any national and foreign filings,
continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions, reexamination certificates,

1.6 NET SALES PRICE means the total gross sales billed, less the
following to the extent they are paid or allowed and included in gross sales
billed in accordance with GAAP: (a) sales taxes, use taxes or turnover taxes on
sales invoices; (b) excise taxes, custom duties, or counselor fees; (c)
transportation and insurance on shipments to customers; (d) trade or quantity
discounts (but not cash discounts); and (e) credits allowed for returned goods.
An engine shall be deemed sold, (i) if sold "intercompany" to an affiliated
company for installation as a component in another product, when it is first
accounted for as sold "intercompany" and, (ii) if otherwise sold, when it is
billed to an unaffiliated party. If an engine is sold "intercompany", "gross
sales billed" shall mean the established corporate transfer price for the
engine; provided that, said corporate transfer price shall be a market based
price. If there is no market based corporate transfer price, then the "gross
sales billed" shall be deemed to be the price of the same model similarly
equipped which LICENSEE sells to third parties, or, failing that, which has a
market based corporate transfer price. Where LICENSEE's sale is in a currency
other than United States dollars, the amount received in United States dollars
for purposes of calculating "Net Sales Price" upon which royalty is paid
hereunder shall be calculated by using LICENSEE's standard practices for
currency exchange in this respect; provided that such practices are consistent
with

the scope of LICENSOR Technology and/or LICENSOR Patent Rights.
ARTICLE 2 -- GRANT

to LICENSEE under Paragraph 2.2), without the right to sublicense others except
as provided herein, throughout the Licensed Territory under LICENSOR Technology
and under LICENSOR Patent Rights, to make, use and sell Products in respect to
LICENSEE's engines and engines sold under LICENSEE's trademarks and to practice
processes in connection therewith.

parts thereof. The right in LICENSEE to convert shall include the right to sell
parts or kits to accomplish such conversion and to allow LICENSEE's authorized
dealerships to convert engines previously sold by LICENSEE, as aforesaid.
2.3 LICENSOR agrees that within thirty days after the Effective
Date of this Agreement, it will make LICENSOR Technology available to LICENSEE
for LICENSEE's licensed use hereunder. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in
making LICENSOR Technology available to LICENSEE during the continuance of this
Agreement shall be reimbursed by LICENSEE. LICENSOR shall be under no obligation
to obtain or develop any additional Technology than available at the Effective
Date of this Agreement, but may do so as it sole option, and alleged
deficiencies in the quality or quantity of any Technology delivered shall not be
considered a material breach of this Agreement, it being recognized by all
parties that the licenses granted hereunder are for substantial rights in
addition to use of Technology.
-5-

2.4 LICENSEE shall have the right to grant sublicenses to its
Subsidiaries. Where reference is made in this Article 2 to LICENSEE's engines
and engines sold under LICENSEE's trademarks, such reference shall also include
its Subsidiaries' engines and engines sold under its Subsidiaries' trademarks.
2.5 It is understood that the license granted to LICENSEE set
forth in Article 2 does not include the right to make and use aqueous fuel which
is the subject of proprietary, confidential and trade secret technology and
patent rights of LICENSOR outside the Field of this Agreement; provided however
that. in the event that aqueous fuel is not available to LICENSEE in a
particular geographic area or market segment in sufficient quantity and quality
at competitive prices necessary to serve said geographical area or market
segment, then LICENSEE shall further have a non-exclusive license under the
Technology, in the Field, to make, use and sell fuel for LICENSEE's engines and
engines sold under LICENSEE's trademarks for said geographic area or market
segment; provided that, if LICENSOR has not been dissolved, LICENSEE has first
requested LICENSOR to supply the fuel and LICENSOR refuses, fails or is unable
to make such supplies available in the particular area or market segment. If
subsequent to LICENSE's exercise of its rights under this section 2.4, fuel
becomes commercially available in an area or market segment in sufficient
quantity and
-6-
7
quality at competitive prices for a continuous period of at least six months,
then the license under this section 2.4 for the particular circumstance shall
terminate unless the fuel again becomes unavailable.
2.6 If LICENSOR has granted or grants in the future a license to
a third party under the LICENSOR Patent Rights on terms more favorable than
those afforded LICENSEE herein, LICENSEE shall have the right for thirty (30)
days after such terms are brought to its attention to elect such terms in lieu
of those granted herein, effective as of the date they were granted to said
third party.
ARTICLE 3 -- PAYMENTS AND ACCOUNTING
3.1 In consideration for the licenses and rights
granted under Article 2 hereof and the disclosure of LICENSOR Technology,
LICENSEE shall pay LICENSOR as follows:
(a) For each engine sold pursuant to the
license granted in Article 2, (i) two and one-half percent (2 1/2%) of the Net
Sales Price of each such engine covered by a claim of a patent included in
LICENSOR Patent Rights or (ii) one and one-fourth percent (1 1/4%) for each
engine covered by a Pending Claim of a U.S. patent application included in
LICENSOR Patent Rights. Once a patent issues containing a Pending Claim, the
royalty payable shall increase to the rate for a claim of an issued patent. Only
one royalty shall be payable per engine (said royalty to be paid at highest
applicable rate) regardless of the number of times it is sold
-7-
8
or where it is sold or the number of claims of a patent(s) and patent
application(s) included in LICENSOR Patent Rights which cover it. "Pending
Claim" means any claim of a pending U.S. Patent Application included in LICENSOR
Patent Rights excluding (i) claims which have been twice rejected or are under
final rejection and (ii) claims equivalent to those in (i). Whether claims are
equivalent for purposes of the preceding sentence shall, if not agreed upon by
the parties, be the subject of an arbitration using an experienced patent
attorney agreed to by the parties.
(b) For the conversion of each engine
accomplished pursuant to the license granted in Article 2, no
royalty shall be payable.
(c) On the sale of any parts pursuant to the
license granted in Article 2, no royalty shall be payable.
(d) For each gallon of aqueous fuel sold
pursuant to the license of section 2.4, a royalty equal to (i), if LICENSOR has
licensed any others, the most favorable generally prevailing per gallon royalty
payable by any such LICENSEE (it being the intent to exclude for this purpose
isolated licenses wherein royalties may not be reflective of generally
prevailing market conditions) or (ii), if LICENSOR has not licensed any others,
U.S.$0.05.
(e) LICENSEE shall be responsible for all
payments to be made to LICENSOR under this agreement whether for activities by
LICENSEE or on behalf of LICENSEE.
-8-
9
3.2 LICENSEE agrees to make royalty payments to LICENSOR for all
royalty amounts owned by LICENSEE on a calendar quarterly basis. Each quarterly
royalty payment from LICENSEE to LICENSOR will be made within sixty days after
the end of the quarter in connection with which the payment became due in U.S.
dollars by good funds (including wire transfer) free of transfer or other
charges in such place and manner as LICENSOR shall designate. LICENSEE further
agrees to provide LICENSOR with a written report with each quarterly royalty
payment, including an accounting of activities under Article 3.1, and of
receipts during the quarterly period in connection with which the corresponding
royalty payment is being made. LICENSEE may make its reports under this section
3.2 in such a fashion that the Net Sales Price for an individual engine is not
disclosed. Submission of a deliberately false report shall be considered a
material breach of this Agreement.
3.3 LICENSEE agrees to keep accurate records at its regular place
of business in sufficient detail to enable LICENSOR to determine the royalties
payable hereunder and to maintain such records for a period of at least two
years, including two years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement
for any cause. LICENSEE further agrees that it will allow, during the
continuance of this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter, upon
request of LICENSOR an independent certified public accountant to review
-9-
10
the aforementioned records of LICENSEE and any sublicensee for up to the
preceding two years to the extent necessary for LICENSOR to verify the accuracy
of the royalty payments made or payable to LICENSOR. Any such audit shall be at
the reasonable expense of LICENSOR unless the audit discloses that the royalty
payments actually made are more than five percent less than the royalty payments
due for the period examined, in which case the reasonable expense of the audit
shall be borne by LICENSEE. LICENSOR shall not be entitled to conduct more than
two (2) audits in any twelve (12) month period. LICENSEE acknowledges that
LICENSOR's rights to license hereunder have been granted pursuant to an
Exclusive License Agreement of even date herewith under which agreement the
licensor thereunder has the authority to review and audit royalty reports of
sublicensees. LICENSEE agrees that the right to audit pursuant to this Paragraph
3.3 shall extend to the licensor under such Exclusive License Agreement, subject
to the limitation of a total of two (2) audits per twelve (12) month period.
3.4 In the event any payment under this Agreement is not made
when due, including any deficiency found in an audit, LICENSEE will pay to
LICENSOR interest on such late payment at the prime rate plus two percent from
the date such payment is due to the date such payment is made. As used in this
Paragraph 3.4, prime rate shall be the prime rate charged by Citibank in New
York, New York, from time to time
-10-
11
between the date payment was due and the date of actual
payment.
ARTICLE 4 - MARKING
4.1 LICENSEE will apply proper notice of patent
protection on or in connection with Products or their packages, including the
numbers of appropriate U.S. Patents, and to give notice of the pendency of
patent applications on Products or their packages, such as, for example, stating
"Patent Pending', in the form reasonably required by LICENSOR.
ARTICLE 5 -- CONFIDENTIAL STATUS OF TECHNOLOGY
5.1 LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that, subject
to the provisions of Paragraph 5.3 below, all Technology disclosed to it by
LICENSOR pursuant to this Agreement may constitute and comprise valuable
confidential information and therefore agrees to hold any such Technology it
receives in confidence and otherwise protect it as provided in this Article 5
using the same degree of care it uses with respect to its own information of
like kind.
5.2 LICENSEE agrees that, subject to the provisions of Paragraph
5.3 below, it shall not, without LICENSOR's prior written consent, disclose,
distribute or use any portion of Technology disclosed to it by the other party
pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent necessary for it to exercise
its rights hereunder (including by way of sale of Products utilizing
Technology), or authorize or allow
-11-
12
others to do so. LICENSEE further agrees to limit access to such Technology to
those of its employees, or others, who have a "need to know' of the same in
order for it to exercise said rights.
5.3 The obligations under this Article 5 shall not extend to any
portion of Technology disclosed to LICENSEE which (a) is within the public
domain, or enters into the public domain through no fault of LICENSEE, (b) is
within the possession of LICENSEE prior to receipt from LICENSOR as shown by
appropriate records, or (c) is independently made available to LICENSEE as a
matter of right by a third party without restriction on the use or disclosure
thereof. Information which is confidential shall not be deemed to be
nonconfidential merely because it is embraced within information which is
nonconfidential.
5.4 LICENSEE agrees that its obligations under this Article 5
shall extend to those deriving rights through LICENSEE and shall survive any
termination of the other provisions of this Agreement, and shall continue until
such time as one of the exceptions set forth in Paragraph 5.3 above becomes
applicable to the subject matter in question, or until the expiration of a five
year period commencing on the date of termination of the other provisions of
this Agreement, whichever occurs first.
