Thereafter, the Investor will register the IP in any country in Europe selected by the Investor within the Option Period with the understanding that the IP registered in the name of the Company will remain in Escrow for the safekeeping by the Company during the Option Period.
 
Upon the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the Notes and/or Preferred Shares, as applicable, the physical possession of the Company Technology shall be delivered to the Investor who will license the Company Technology to the Company for projects in the US with a fully paid license fee of US$1.00.

(ii) Any new intellectual property (“New IP”) developed from the work in the Areas of Jurisdiction will be published and registered in any country selected by Investor in Europe and shall be solely owned by Investor or its designate. In the event that the Company desires to employ any of the techniques developed in the Areas of Jurisdiction it must obtain a license from the Investor or its designate on terms, including royalties, acceptable to Investor or its designate.
 
2.5.3  Operational protocol and other formula developed or discovered in the course of technology application that results in its optimization will be treated and guarded as trade secrets. Such formula and protocols that result in the optimization of basic Company Technology, and those obtained during the course of the application in actual operation will be recorded in writing in the form of journals containing the steps and chemicals used and operational parameters (i.e. temperature, resident times, ORP, etc.) starting from the chemical bench to the pilot stage and such other vital data and formula that contributed to the optimization of technology use. These journals will be kept confidential in Escrow and shall serve to recreate any process in the event the operators and other important key personnel who have the sole knowledge of the said formula become physically and mentally incapacitated. Such will address the problem of delay, stoppage or intermittent stoppage of operations. A compartmentalized protocol will be set according to the need of a particular project.
