ChubeWorkx would recover what it was owed from a promissory note by taking delivery of $0.75m of BreathScan alcohol detectors. It would re-sell these. ChubeWorkx would also receive $0.5m cash.
Settlement of the legal dispute would allow Akers to sell its breath tests globally, having regained certain rights from ChubeWorkx, which would receive a 5% gross revenue royalty up to $5m.
