(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.

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.

5.7 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.

In addition, if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason following a Change in Control other than (a) by the Company for Cause and (b) by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay a pro-rata portion of the Executive’s annual bonus for the performance year in which such termination occurs to the Executive on the later of (x) the date that annual bonuses are generally paid to other senior executives and (y) the date that is the first business day after the date that is six months after the Date of Termination. This pro-rata bonus shall be determined by multiplying the amount the Executive would have received based upon actual financial performance through such termination, as reasonably determined by the Company, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such performance year that the Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365.
4.2 If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive’s normal post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due. Such post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company’s retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

(A) Employee will be entitled to receive from the Company an amount in severance equal to one year of Employee’s then-current base salary (the “Severance Amount”).

(B) Employee will be entitled to receive, for a period of 12 full calendar months from the date of his termination (the “Termination Date”), medical and dental benefits coverage for Employee and/or his dependents through the Company’s available plans at the time and the Company will be responsible to continue payment of all applicable deductions for premium costs. After the Company’s obligation to pay the premiums for health and dental coverage Employee and/or his dependents will be eligible to continue plan participation under COBRA; and
(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the option plan pursuant to which Employee’s options were granted, all options granted to Employee prior to the Termination Date (the “Options”) shall automatically vest and become fully exercisable as of the Termination Date notwithstanding any vesting or performance conditions applicable thereto, and such Options shall remain exercisable for (i) one year following the Termination Date or (ii) if the plan or grant agreement pursuant to which certain Options were granted provides that such Options will be exercisable for a period longer than one year in circumstances where Employee is terminated without Cause or Employee’s employment Terminates In Connection With a Change in Control, then such longer exercise period shall apply with respect to such Options; provided that, in either case, (A) in no event will Options be exercisable beyond the duration of the original term thereof and (B) if the Options qualify as an incentive stock option under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations thereunder, the exercise period thereof shall not be extended in such a manner as to cause the Options to cease to qualify as an incentive stock option unless Executive elects to forego incentive stock option treatment and extend the exercise period thereof as provided herein.
