3. LONG-TERM CONTRACTS

In May 2018, we signed a five-year license agreement with Sharp Corporation granting them exclusive license to our laser beam scanning (LBS) technology for display-only applications. The agreement includes an initial exclusivity period with requirements that must be met in order to maintain exclusivity. Because of the impact of COVID-19 on global commerce and new product introductions of consumer electronic devices, in February 2021 the agreement was amended to increase the term to six years and add twelve months to the initial exclusivity period. If this licensee acquires a customer, the agreement requires the licensee to buy specific components from us. The exclusivity period is scheduled to end in the fourth quarter of 2021.
