Commercial Principles. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, implement and follow collaborative strategies for the commercialization of any MSC Material, MPM Material and/or Hybrid Product. The purpose of the foregoing obligation is to provide each Party with an equitable and balanced opportunity to derive value and monetary return from opportunities that might result from any work or collaboration done under this Agreement. One component of any evaluation of a collaborative commercial strategy will include an analysis of the value proposition associated with the joint pursuit of a commercial opportunity by the Parties. One such consideration is the Royalty Obligations that would be associated with the commercial licenses granted under Sections 7.5 through 7.8, which will be negotiated and agreed to by the respective representatives of the Parties through the Steering Committe in arm’s-length good faith negotiations. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the agreement on the Royalty Obligations is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the commercial licenses granted under Sections 7.5 through 7.8 and the licensee Party will pay the Royalty Obligations during the term of such licenses. It is expected that the Steering Committee members will play a primary role in fulfilling the obligations under this Section 7.4 on behalf of their respective organizations. If, after using commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy these obligations, the Parties decide that it is not commercially feasible or desirable to pursue a commercial opportunity jointly, each Party shall be permitted to separately pursue the opportunity. For the purpose of clarity, the Parties do not intend for anything contained in this Section 7.4 to create any partnership, agency, joint venture or the like between the Parties. Indeed, the Parties intend, at all times, to maintain their separate legal identities as they work together under this Agreement.
