Employment Agreements

 

On January 2, 2007, Medistem Laboratories, Inc., a Nevada corporation, ("Medistem") entered into an Employment Agreement with Chris McGuinn, its Chief Operating Officer.  Under Mr. McGuinn's agreement, he will receive an annual base salary of $100,000.

 

Mr. McGuinn's agreement also provides for discretionary bonus payments commensurate with bonuses paid to other senior executives of Medistem. If Mr. McGuinn's agreement is terminated without Cause (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to receive accrued and vesting benefits up to the date of termination and will have 90 days from the date of termination to exercise any vested but unexercised options existing as of the termination date. The foregoing description is only a summary of, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Employment Agreement, which Medistem will file with its next periodic report.

 

In connection with his employment agreement, Medistem entered into separate Indemnification Agreements with Mr. McGuinn which contains provisions that may require Medistem to, among other things: indemnify Mr. McGuinn against liabilities that may arise by reason of his status or service as an officer to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law and Medistem's bylaws and certificate of incorporation and advance Mr. McGuinn's expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The foregoing description is only a summary of, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Indemnification Agreement, which Medistem will file with its next periodic report.

 

License Agreement

 

On January 5, 2007, Medistem announced that it had entered into a License Agreement on January 2, 2007, with Rio Valley Medical Clinic ("Licensee"), a Mexican corporation owned by Dr Frank Morales. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as an Exhibit. Under the License Agreement, Licensee received a non-exclusive, non-transferable license for the use of Medistem's intellectual property with regard to the development, application and commercialization of adult stem cells in Tijuana, Mexico and its surrounding areas for use in the therapeutic treatment of various medical conditions in humans.  Medistem also agreed to supply Licensee with high quality stem cells for use in such treatments and to provide certain administrative functions.  Dr. Morales also received warrants to purchase up to 700,000 shares of Medistem common stock at $0.12 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth by the terms of a Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with one-third of such warrants vesting on the first, second and third anniversary of the license agreement. The foregoing description is only a summary of, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the License Agreement, which Medistem will file with its next periodic report.

 

In exchange for the rights granted under the License Agreement, Medistem will receive 90% of the monthly net revenue in excess of $20,000 resulting from Licensee's sale of any product derived from or involving infusion quality adult stem cells.   In addition, Medistem will retain the rights to any new or useful process, manufacture, compound or composition of matter developed by Licensee and/or Medistem relating to infusion quality umbilical cord stem cells. The License Agreement extends to January 2, 2012, with automatic renewal provisions thereafter.
