License

  

Localization and implementation of the different software and technology modules is supported through a Localization Agreement. Under this agreement, at a cost of $215,000, the Licensor allocated engineering and programming resources to the Company. The cost is being amortized over 5 years.

 

On May 1, 2015, the Company entered into a ten-year license with the Licensor for the non-exclusive right to license technology to provide payment services. Subsequently, on November 1, 2015, the Company and the Licensor concluded an additional amendment to the License Agreement by which the Licensor agreed to the exclusivity to the Mexican market subject to the payment of $20,000 per year payable in quarterly installments, the first two such installments payable December 1, 2015. The agreement may be terminated early by the Licensor if the Company fails to comply with its terms and conditions

 

The license with the Licensor is a license for the rights to use three software programs (the “Programs”): RG Switch Payment (designed to transfer payments to providers of services), RG Processing (designed processing and counting of payments) and RG Kiosk (designed for performance of payments through payment collection equipment functioning in the self-service kiosks) to be used in Mexico.

 

Under this agreement, the Licensor is obligated to provide Qpagos Corporation with rights to use software updates developed by the Licensor. The ten-year term commences on the date of full payment of the localization contract. The Licensor retains exclusive rights to any intellectual property, including any addition, alteration, program updating, derivative or composed creation, obtained in the process of usage of the programs. The payment for the rights granted under the license is a total of $1,000, payable in annual payments of $100 per year over ten years and is in addition to the payments that we make under the Localization Agreement. The agreement provides, among other things, that we will pay the fee, ensure confidentiality of commercial and technical information received when performing the agreement and inform the Licensor of any changes in its structure. The Licensor has a right to terminate the agreement if we breach the terms of the agreement or do not properly perform or if we do not cure any breach or nonperformance within 30 days of receipt of notice of termination. If the Licensor suffers any damages, they are entitled to request compensation from the Company. The rights to use the Programs terminate upon termination of the Agreement.
