The Patents Co. agrees that it will not grant any license to manufacture exhibiting or projecting machines under any patents owned by it and covering such machines unless such licensee shall also accept a license to manufacture and sell exhibiting and projecting machines under the Vitagraph patents whether or not such licensee may thereafter make use of any of the inventions covered by said Vitagraph patents. The Patents Co. agrees to pay a royalty of $1 on each machine containing the inventions described in one or more of the Vitagraph patents, a royalty of $1 when the machine is capable of exhibiting by transmitted light, and a royalty on other kinds of machines.
