Royalties and Other Payments 5.1 For the rights, privileges and exclusive licenses granted hereunder, Licensee shall pay to CMCC the following amounts in the manner hereinafter provided until the end of the term of the last to expire Licensed Patent Right, unless this Agreement shall be sooner terminated as hereinafter provided:
(a) A license issue fee of [**] Dollars ($[**]), which license issue fee shall be deemed earned on the date of the execution of this Agreement.
(b) A License Maintenance Fee of [**] Dollars ($[**]),[**] 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.
(c) Licensee shall make the following milestone payments to CMCC upon the completion of the following events by Licensee (“Licensee Milestones”):
(i) Payment of [**] Dollars ($[**]) upon [**] by Licensee, but not more than one payment shall be required for each Licensed Product or Licensed Process in the event that more than one [**] is required for the same Licensed Product or Licensed Process.
(ii) Payment of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($[**]) upon [**] with respect to a Licensed Product or a Licensed Process.
(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.
Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts (a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability. Accordingly, the amount which either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of such Liability, then within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of such Insurance Proceeds, the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.
(b) The Parties agree that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
