MONTREAL, Oct. 15, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - EXO U Inc. (TSXV:EXO) ("the Company" or "EXO U "), the developer of the EXO U Mobile Engagement Platform, today announced that further to its press release on October 1, 2015 regarding a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") entered into by EXO U with QOMO HiteVision, L.L.C. ("QOMO"), a manufacturer of high technology electronic products located in Wixom, Michigan, USA, the Company and QOMO have now entered into the license agreement contemplated in the MOU. The license agreement sets out the terms and conditions on which EXO U will provide QOMO a fixed minimum number of worldwide licences each year over a three-year, renewable term on a non-exclusive basis for the EXO U software on which students, teachers and administrators can learn, communicate, share and create digital content for use on multiple devices.
The minimum volume commitment in the three-year license agreement is expected to generate approximately US$2 million in sales for EXO U. In addition, this license agreement is also expected to give EXO U, via the QOMO sales channels, increased visibility in 16,000 school districts in the US, Europe and the Middle East.
As previously disclosed in the Company's October 1, 2015 press release, the MOU provides that EXO U and QOMO will develop their partnership in three areas:
- Initial go-to-market strategy including training QOMO's reseller network, joint attendance at trade shows and joint presentations to school districts across the US.
- The License Agreement for the EXO U software to be included with every QOMO Large Format Display sold into the education sector (the execution of which was announced today).
- Master Distribution Agreement to distribute the EXO U Mobile Engagement Platform on other QOMO technologies and also to distribute to other leading businesses suppling mobile devices to the education sector.
"We are very pleased to have been able to quickly sign the license agreement we had contemplated in our MoU", said Shan Ahdoot, President and Chief Executive Officer of EXO U. "Our joint focus on implementing the MOU highlights the fact that both EXO U and QOMO feel that the opportunity for each of us is both significant and timely. We feel that there is a significant synergy between EXO U software and QOMO hardware and we want to immediately address the opportunities for what we feel is our very compelling joint offering and market solution."
"QOMO is excited to team up with EXO U to create a solution that will be a game changer for 1:1 learning and enhance BYOD in the classroom", said Kevin Talentino, President of QOMO. "This is the Next Generation technology."
