In addition, Licensee agrees to reimburse and shall reimburse TSRI for all patent costs and expenses previously paid or associated with Licensed Patent Rights incurred by TSRI up to the Effective Date, less any such patent costs and expenses previously reimbursed by Licensee under the Option Agreement.

Such action by TSRI shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Payment can be made directly to independent counsel, or to TSRI. Licensee may elect with a minimum of ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to TSRI, to discontinue payment for the filing, prosecution and/or maintenance of any patent application and/or patent within Licensed Patent Rights. Licensee shall remain liable for all patent prosecution and maintenance costs incurred prior to the date of notice of election and for a ninety (90) day period following the date of such notice. Any such patent application or patent so elected shall immediately be excluded from the definition of Licensed Patent Rights and from the scope of the licenses granted under this Agreement, and all rights relating thereto shall revert to TSRI and may be freely licensed by TSRI.
