Common use of Licensor Contribution Clause in Contracts

Licensor Contribution. In the event that Licensee takes action pursuant to paragraph 12.2 above, Licensor shall pay to Licensee an amount equal to one-half of the costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses and costs of investigation) relating thereto (the “Infringement Contribution”) up to an aggregate amount equal to $200,000 (the “Cap”), which Cap shall include all of Licensor’s payments to (a) TO LLC pursuant to the US Medical Cannabis License Agreement, and (b) the Pharmaceutical Affiliate pursuant to the Affiliate Pharmaceutical License Agreement, in each case with respect to the similar Infringement Contributions included therein. The Infringement Contribution shall be payable solely by means of offset against any royalties due to Licensor in accordance with Section 3 of the US Medical Cannabis License Agreement (the "MM Royalties"), in which event Licensee and its Affiliates shall determine an appropriate allocation of the applicable Infringement Contribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate amount of the Infringement Contribution, whether pursuant to this Section 12.3 or under any similar provision under the Affiliate License Agreements shall exceed the Cap, Licensor shall, subject to the foregoing allocation, nevertheless participate in and contribute towards such costs, solely by means of offset against any MM Royalties due to Licensor in accordance with the US Medical Cannabis License Agreement, up to the following amounts: (i) an amount equal to 10% of the first $500,000 of MM Royalties due to Licensor during any calendar year, plus (ii) an amount equal to 15% of any MM Royalties due to Licensor during any calendar year exceeding the first $500,000 of MM Royalties (e.g., in a year in which the total amount of MM Royalties due to Licensor is $800,000, the maximum additional payment on account of the Infringement Contribution shall be $95,000, and if the total required Infringement Contribution is higher than such amount, the balance may only be deducted from MM Royalties due in future years). For removal of doubt, other than consenting to the partial offset of the MM Royalties due to Licensor and their transfer from TO LLC to Licensee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the US Medical Cannabis License Agreement, Licensor shall have no liability towards Licensee for the payment of the Infringement Contribution, nor shall Licensee have any claim or demand against Licensor if TO LLC refuses to or refrains from performing any offset or transfer any amount so offset by it to Licensee.
