(b) A License Maintenance Fee of [**] Dollars ($[**]),[**] Dollars ($[**]) of which shall be payable within [**] days of the first anniversary of the date of execution of this License Agreement and, [**] Dollars ($[**]) of which shall be payable [**] thereafter.

(iii) The Licensee Milestones will be creditable toward running royalties due CMCC for Net Sales by Licensee, up to, and no more than, [**]% of the Net Sales due in any given payment period. (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood by the parties that if Licensee ceases to develop a Licensed Product or Licensed Process prior to the payment of all milestones specified in this paragraph 5.1 (such Licensed Product being referred to as a “Canceled Product”) and Licensee decides to develop a different Licensed Product or Licensed Process for the same labeled indication as the Canceled Product, then Licensee shall, with respect to such other Licensed Product or Licensed Process, be obligated to pay only that/those milestone payment(s) which were not made with respect to the Canceled Product; provided however, that if Licensee does at some time in the future develop such canceled product, then appropriate and prompt adjustment with respect to milestone payments shall be made hereunder. (d) Running royalties on a country-by-country basis in an amount equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales by Licensee or an Affiliate of Licensed Products or Licensed Processes derived from a new chemical entity disclosed by CMCC to Licensee and which, but for this Agreement would infringe a Valid Claim of the Licensed Patent Rights. Running royalties on a country-by-country basis in an amount equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales by Licensee or an Affiliate of Licensed Products or Licensed Processes derived from a new chemical entity discovered by Licensee or its Affiliate and which, but for this Agreement would infringe a Valid Claim of the Licensed Patent Rights. 5.2 In the event Licensee or its Affiliate has granted sublicenses under this Agreement, Licensee or its Affiliate will pay CMCC [**] percent ([**]%) of Gross Compensation received by Licensee or its Affiliate from said Sublicensees on a country-by-country basis for Licensed Products or Licensed Processes derived from a new chemical entity disclosed by CMCC to Licensee or its Affiliate which, but for this Agreement would infringe a Valid Claim of the Licensed Patent Rights in the country, and [**] percent ([**]%) of Gross Compensation received by Licensee or its Affiliate from said Sublicensees for Licensed Products or Licensed Processes derived from a new chemical entity discovered by Licensee, its Affiliate or Sublicensee, and which, but for this Agreement would infringe a Valid Claim of the Licensed Patent Rights in the country. 5.3 No multiple royalties shall be payable because any Licensed Product or Licensed Process, its manufacture, use, lease or sale which, but for this Agreement would infringe a Valid Claim of more than one patent licensed under this Agreement. 5.4 To the extent that Licensee or its Affiliates obtains subsequent to the date of this Agreement licenses to third party patents or other intellectual property that it or they reasonably believes are necessary to produce or sell Licensed Products or Licensed Processes, Licensee may deduct from the running royalty on Net Sales due to CMCC [**] percent [**]%) of the Net Sales as appropriate on a country by country basis due in respect of such third party patents or intellectual property, but only up to an amount equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of the Net Sales or share of Gross Compensation due hereunder for the same payment period. 5.5 For purposes of calculating royalties, in the event that a Licensed Product or Licensed Process includes both component(s) which, but for this Agreement would infringe a Valid Claim of the Licensed Patent Rights (“Patented Component”) and a component which is diagnostically useable or therapeutically active alone or in a combination which does not require the Patented Component, and such component is not covered by a Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent Right (“Unpatented Component”), then Net Sales of the Combination Product or Combination Process shall be calculated using one of the following methods; provided that in no event shall royalties payable to CMCC hereunder be reduced to less than fifty percent (50%) of those otherwise due hereunder: (a) By multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product or Combination Process during the applicable royalty accounting period (“accounting period”) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate gross selling price of the Patented Component(s) contained in the Combination Product or Combination Process if sold separately, and the denominator of which is the sum of the gross selling price of both the Patented Component(s) and the Unpatented Component(s) contained in the Combination Product or Combination Process if sold separately; or (b) In the event that no such separate sales are made of the Patented Component(s) or the Unpatented Components during the applicable accounting period, Net Sales for purposes of determining royalties payable hereunder shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product or Combination Process by a fraction, the numerator of which is the fully allocated production cost of the Patented Component(s) and the denominator of which is the sum of the fully allocated production costs of the Patented Component(s) and the Unpatented Component(s) contained in the Combination Product or Combination Process. Such fully allocated costs shall be determined by using Licensee’s standard accounting procedures, which procedures must conform to standard cost accounting procedures. 5.6 Royalty payments shall be paid in United States dollars in Boston, Massachusetts, or at such other place as CMCC may reasonably designate consistent with the laws and regulations controlling in any foreign country. If the currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payments of royalties or other amounts hereunder, the conversion shall be made by using the exchange rate prevailing at the Bank of Boston on the last business day of the calendar quarterly reporting period to which such royalty payments relate. 5.7 The royalty payments set forth in this Agreement shall, if overdue, bear interest until payment at a per annum rate of four percent (4%) above the prime rate in effect at the Bank of Boston on the due date. The payment of such interest shall not foreclose CMCC from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.
