Recitals:
Whereas the company ARRIVE AI INC (“ARRIVEAI” or “LICENSEE”) is in the process of becoming a publicly listed corporation on NASDAQ based in part upon the O’Toole patents and technology license as amended;
Whereas both Parties appreciate and understand that a coordinated and smooth continuation of any license from O’Toole to ARRIVEAI can be one of the considerations taken by a potential/ future shareholders; and
Whereas the LICENSEE and LICENSOR (ARRIVEAI and O’Toole) are both desirous of ArriveAI having an agreement in place wherein the terms and conditions in the License fully support a smooth transition for all parties should this technology license between O’Toole and ARRIVEAI be terminated. This desire is to provide a business with licensed technology in both both the US and Worldwide locations. This agreement license from O’Toole provides the Licensee with worldly exploitation rights to practice AND to utilize the O’Toole inventions, technology, know-how, patents, and patent applications, including to manufacture and market the Product
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual covenants and promises contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

SECOND AMENDMENT TO EXCLUSIVE
PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT
7. Amended Term and Termination
a) | With respect to the rights granted herein, this Agreement shall commence upon the executing hereof and shall continue and is extended to perpetuity for the full term and life of the patents. Continuation of this license and Amendments shall not be unreasonably withheld unless there is a default under the full terms of the original agreement (5/26/2020), the First Amendment (12/10/2024), and this Second Amendment. |
In the event of a default by either party, the defaulting party (O’Toole and/or ARRIVEAI) has sixty (60) days to cure the default. If default is not cured (after timely notice) per the Exclusive License Agreement, as amended, then the terms and conditions and payments of any royalty continues into perpetuity or the completion of the 20-year term of qualifying patent.
After 60 days without cure, the Exclusive License transitions into a Non-exclusive license. This permits O’Toole to seek other and/or additional Licensees for exploitation of similar technology. AND this and permits ARRIVE AI, Inc. to seek other sources. This Second Amendment transitions the current requirement 7d) that: “Subsequent to the termination of this Agreement, as provided or in sub-Sections 7a or 7b or 7c hereof, LICENSEE agrees that it will not engage in the use, sale, or other commercialization of the TECHNOLOGY and that it will not sell the PRODUCTS.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE may, for up to ninety (90) days after the effective date of such termination, sell all PRODUCTS which may be in inventory and not sold; provided, however, LICENSEE provides any reports and payments required by Section 5 of this Agreement.”
