ISCO/ ACTC relationship,

This is from ISCO's last 10Q

Organization:
Lifeline Cell Technology, LLC (“Lifeline”) was formed in the State of California on August 17, 2001. Lifeline is in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling cells and reagents. Lifeline’s scientists have used a technology, called basal medium optimization to systematically eliminate animal proteins from cell culture systems. Lifeline is unique in the industry in that it has in place scientific and manufacturing staff with the experience and knowledge to set up systems and facilities to produce a source of consistent, standardized, animal protein free ES cell products suitable for FDA approval.

"On January 29, 2007, we changed our name from BTHC III, Inc. to International Stem Cell Corporation (the “Company”)."


5. Patent Licenses
"On December 31, 2003, Lifeline entered into an Option to License Intellectual Property agreement with Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (“ACT”) for patent rights and paid ACT $340,000 in option and license fees. On February 13, 2004, Lifeline and ACT amended the Option agreement and Lifeline paid ACT additional option fees of $22,500 for fees related to registering ACT’s patents in selected international countries.

On May 14, 2004, Lifeline amended the licensing agreement with ACT for the exclusive worldwide patent rights for the following ACT technologies: Infigen IP, UMass IP and ACT IP, which terms are summarized below. The license fees aggregate a total of $400,000 and were secured by separate convertible promissory notes. The notes bear no interest unless they are not repaid at maturity, in which event they shall thereafter bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of 10% or the maximum non-usurious rate legally allowed. The note could be converted at the option of ACT into the first equity financing of Lifeline with cash proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 under the following conditions: i) Upon the consummation of the First Equity Financing; or ii) Immediately prior to the closing of any merger, sale or other consolidation of the Company or of any sale of all or substantially all assets of the Company which occurs prior to the First Equity Financing (an “Acquisition Event”). Notwithstanding the above, and only in the event that a conversion resulting from such Acquisition Event would result in a security not traded on a national stock exchange (including NASDAQ and NASDAQ Capital market), upon written notice to the Company not later than five days after the consummation of the Acquisition Event and notice of the Acquisition Event to the holder of the note, the holder may elect to receive payment in cash of the entire outstanding principal of this Note. On December 21, 2006, ACT elected to receive payment in cash in lieu of conversion of the notes, which was paid in full."


The Company still maintains an obligation to pay royalties and other fees in accordance with the following schedule:
