keep and maintain complete and accurate records of all sales, leases, and other dispositions of Licensed Products during the Term and, if applicable, the Post-termination Period and all other records related to this Agreement.

6.5.2 In connection with an audit described in section 6.5.3, the Licensee, upon written request, shall deliver to the University and its representatives true, correct and complete copies of all documents and materials (including electronic records) reasonably relevant to the Licensee’s and sublicensees’ performance of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all sublicenses granted.

6.5.3 To determine the Licensee’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the University, at its expense (except as set forth in this subsection), may inspect and audit the Licensee’s records referred to in subsection 6.5.1 at the Licensee’s address as set forth in this Agreement or such other location(s) as the parties mutually agree during the Licensee’s normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice. The Licensee shall cooperate in the audit, including providing at no cost, commodious space in the Licensee’s place of business for the auditor. The University may perform an audit no more frequently than once each calendar year and any period may not be audited more than once. The Licensee shall reimburse the University for all its out-of-pocket expenses to inspect and audit such records if the University, in accordance with the results of such inspection and audit, determines that the Licensee has underpaid amounts owed to the University by at least **** or ****, whichever is smaller, in a reporting period.

The Licensee acknowledges that such an agreement is adequate to protect its legitimate interests, and the parties agree that there shall be no additional nondisclosure agreement demanded as a condition to the commencement of an audit and the University’s exercising its rights under this subsection.

6.6 Currency and Checks. All computations and payments made under this Agreement shall be in United States dollars. To determine the dollar value of transactions conducted in non-United States dollar currencies, the parties shall use the exchange rate for the currency into dollars as reported in the Wall Street Journal as the New York foreign exchange mid-range rate on the last business day of the month in which the transaction occurred.

6.7 Withholding. If any payment made by the Licensee hereunder is subject to withholding taxes under the laws of any jurisdiction, the Licensee will be entitled to deduct and withhold the amount of such taxes for the account of the University to the extent required by law and, in such event, will pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper governmental authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to the University appropriate proof of payment of such withholding taxes. At the request of the Licensee, the University will give the Licensee such reasonable assistance, which will include the provision of documentation as may be required by the relevant tax authority, to enable the Licensee to pay and report and, as applicable, claim exemption from or reduction of, such withholding tax. Any taxes withheld or remitted pursuant to this section will be treated as paid by the Licensee to the University.

7. Infringement.

7.1 If a party learns of substantial, credible evidence that a Third Party is making, using, or selling a product in the Field of Use in the Territory that infringes a Licensed Patent or would infringe a Licensed Patent Application if such application were to issue, such party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the possible infringement and in such notice describe in detail the information suggesting infringement of the Licensed Patent or Licensed Patent Application. The Licensee, under its own control and at its own expense, shall have the first right but not the obligation to prosecute any third party infringement of the Licensed Patents or Licensed Patent Applications (an “Infringement Action”) with respect to any infringement related to the Field of Use, to the extent permitted by law. With respect to any infringement not related to the Field of Use, the University shall have the first right to bring an Infringement Action. Prior to commencing any action to enforce a Licensed Patent or Licensed Patent Application, the parties shall enter into good faith negotiations on the desirability of bringing suit, the parties to the action, the selection of counsel, and such other matters as the parties may agree to discuss; provided that the party bringing the Infringement Action shall have ultimate discretion over such matters. If a party is unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist or fails to have initiated an Infringement Action within a reasonable time after such party first becomes aware of the basis for such action, the other party shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to prosecute such infringement under its sole control and at its sole expense, on notice to the other party. In any Infringement Action, the parties agree to cooperate reasonably (without a duty to join suit) with each other, at the enforcing party’s request and expense, including by using reasonable efforts to permit access to relevant personnel, records, papers, information, samples and specimens during regular business hours.

A-11

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a court determines that the Licensee cannot prosecute an infringement Action without including the University as a party, and the court does not involuntarily join the University, then the University shall have no obligation to join such action but may do so if it determines, in its sole discretion, that joining the action would not be adverse to the best interests of the University; provided that, if the University does not join such action, the parties will negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the payment terms of this License, which may include, depending on the economic impact of the alleged infringement on Licensee’s commercialization of the Licensed Technology, a suspension of Licensee’s obligations to make any payments under sections 6.1 and 6.4 (including any payments described in sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5 and 11.7 of the EPLA) for so long as the infringement continues. In any such Infringement Action, the enforcing party shall keep the non-enforcing party reasonably informed of the status and progress of the action, including, among other things, delivering to the non-enforcing party no less than once a quarter a written report of the status of the action. The non-enforcing party shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense. Without the non-enforcing party’s prior written consent, the enforcing party may not settle or compromise any such action in a manner that imposes any obligations or restrictions on the other party or grants any rights to the Licensed Patents or Licensed Patent Applications other than rights that the enforcing Party has the right to grant under this Agreement. Any amounts recovered (less amounts actually paid for costs and expenses associated with the litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses) by the Licensee in any such action or settlement that constitute compensation for lost profits or sales will be ****. All other amounts recovered (less amounts actually paid for costs and expenses associated with the litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses) by the Licensee in such action or settlement ****.

7.2 If any suit, action or proceeding is brought or commenced against the Licensee alleging the infringement of a patent or other intellectual property right owned by a Third Party by reason of the manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products, the Licensee shall give the University prompt notice thereof. If the validity of a Licensed Patent is questioned in such suit, action or proceeding, the Licensee shall have no right to make any settlement or compromise which affects the scope, validity, enforceability or otherwise the Licensed Patent without the University’s prior written approval.

8. Termination.

8.1 By the University.

8.1.1 If the Licensee materially breaches or materially fails to perform one or more of its obligations under this Agreement, the University may deliver a written notice of default to the Licensee. Without further action by a party, this Agreement shall

The Licensee shall notify the University, in writing, at least **** prior to the commencement of any such action or the institution of any such proceeding.

8.2 By the Licensee.

8.2.1 If the University materially breaches or materially fails to perform one or more of its duties under this Agreement, the Licensee may deliver to the University a written notice of default. The Licensee may terminate this Agreement by delivering to the University a written notice of termination if the default has not cured in full within **** of the delivery to the University of the notice of default.

8.2.2 The Licensee may, upon **** prior written notice to the University, terminate this Agreement for any reason, with or without cause; provided that (i) the Licensee is current in all payment obligations due as of the notice and termination date; and (ii) the Licensee pays the University ****.

The Commercial Sales of Licensed Products during the Post-termination Period shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, including the obligation to pay royalties on such Commercial Sales as provided in this Agreement.

8.4 Survival of Sublicenses. Except as otherwise provided in the sublicense agreement, if this Agreement terminates early for any reason, any Third Party sublicensee will, from the effective date of such termination, automatically become a direct licensee of the University with respect to the rights originally sublicensed to the Third Party sublicensee by the Licensee; provided that (a) such sublicensee is not in breach of its sublicense agreement and continues to perform thereunder, (b) such sublicensee agrees in writing to pay to the University the amounts that would have become due under this Agreement in respect of such sublicense if this Agreement had not been terminated, and (c) such sublicensee agrees in writing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement related to the rights sublicensed to such sublicensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the University will not be liable to such sublicensee with respect to any obligations of the Licensee to the sublicensee that are inconsistent with the University’s obligations under this Agreement.

8.5 Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by the University to the Licensee are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended (the “Code”), licenses of rights to “‘intellectual property’ as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Code. The Licensee, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Code. In the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against the University under the Code, the Licensee shall be entitled to retain all of its rights under this Agreement.

9. Release, Indemnification, and Insurance.

9.1 The Licensee’s Release. The Licensee hereby releases the University and its regents, employees, and agents forever from any and all suits, actions, claims, liabilities, demands, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and investigative expenses) relating to or arising out of the manufacture, use, lease, sale, or other disposition of a Licensed Product by the Licensee or any of its sublicensees (or any person that would be a sublicensee but for the sublicense being void pursuant to Section 3.1.2) as permitted by this Agreement; provided that the foregoing release is limited to any actions directly related to this

A-14

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Agreement and does not apply to any suits, actions, claims, liabilities, demands, damages, losses, or expenses that may arise in connection with any other agreement between the University and the Licensee; furthermore, the foregoing release is not intended and shall not limit enforcement of the University’s obligations under section 9.3 or enforcement of any claims related to the breach by the University of section 3 or its warranties under section 10.1.

If an Indemnifying Party fails or declines to assume the defense of any such claim within **** after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of such claim at the cost and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and any Third Party Liabilities related thereto shall be deemed a Third Party Liability of the Indemnifying Party. The indemnification rights of a Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement are in addition to all other rights that such Indemnified Party may have at law or in equity or otherwise. The Indemnified Party shall not be permitted to settle or compromise any claim giving rise to Third Party Liabilities in a manner
