IPR Subcommittee. Immediately after the Effective Date, the Company will establish an Intellectual Property Rights Subcommittee of the Board (the “IPR Subcommittee”), which will, in addition to having those responsibilities and duties given to it by the Board, be responsible for registering or otherwise protecting all Intellectual Property Rights of the Company capable of being protected, if desirable to do so, as decided by the IPR Subcommittee. The IPR Subcommittee will be further responsible for compiling and delivering all filings and applications (including renewals), or overseeing the same, and approving payments of any associated costs and will instruct Third Party service providers and law firms in this respect. The IPR Subcommittee may delegate all or some of its functions or responsibilities to any Person (including a Shareholder or their Affiliates). The IPR Subcommittee will have an equal number of members representing each Shareholder and will meet once each Calendar Quarter unless otherwise instructed by the Board. Decisions by the IPR Subcommittee will be made by unanimous agreement of all of the members on the IPR Subcommittee and any decisions on which the IPR Subcommittee cannot agree will be elevated to the Board.
