Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Agreement.
On May 24, 2016, the Registrant entered into an Option Agreement (the Agreement) with University of Southern Florida Research Foundation, Inc. (USFRF) relating to an exclusive license of certain patent rights in connection with one of USFRFs U.S. Patent Applications. Both parties recognize that further work and research is required to develop practical applications for the invention described in the patent rights, and this Agreement provides the Registrant with the right to evaluate the patent rights, potential products, market for such products and ultimately the election or option to negotiate a license. In the Agreement USFRF grants the Registrant the option to negotiate a royalty bearing, limited term, exclusive license to the patent rights.
The Agreement is for one (1) year commencing May 24, 2016. USFRF reserves the right under the Agreement to negotiate with third parties for licensing but grants the Registrant the right of first refusal. The Agreement terminates either on May 24, 2017, when a License Agreement is executed between the parties, ninety (90) days following written notice by the Registrant of intent to exercise its option rights, or by USFRF with thirty (30) days written notice to the Registrant.
