LIMITED EXCLUSIVE SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT
For DIELECTRIC WALL ACCELERATOR

This sublicense agreement (“Agreement”) is effective on April 25, 2008 (the “Effective Date”) by and between TomoTherapy, Incorporated (“TomoTherapy”) under its exclusive license with Xxxxxxxx Livermore National Security, LLC as amended (“LLNS”), and Compact Particle Acceleration Corporation (“LICENSEE”). TomoTherapy and LICENSEE are referred to jointly as “Parties.” This Agreement and the resulting license are subject to overriding obligations to the Federal Government pursuant to the provisions of TomoTherapy’s exclusive license agreement with LLNS and LLNS’s Xxxxxxxx Xx. XX-XX00-00XX00000 with the DOE for the operation of the Xxxxxxxx Livermore National Laboratory (“LLNL”).

1.		BACKGROUND
1.1		Certain inventions characterized as Dielectric Wall Accelerator (“DWA”) technology (“Invention”) described in LLNL patent applications and patents listed in Exhibit A (LICENSED PATENTS) were made at LLNL, are covered by Patent Rights as defined in Article 2 (DEFINITIONS), and are subject to an exclusive license between TomoTherapy and LLNS, as amended (“Underlying License”).
1.2		The U.S. Government has previously been granted a nontransferable, paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable license to use the Invention by, or on behalf of, the U.S. Government throughout the world.
1.3		TomoTherapy and LLNL have been parties to a cooperative research and development agreement referred to hereafter as the “CRADA” Agreement No. TC02109.0 as amended, for purposes of developing a Particle and Radiotherapy System based on LLNL’s DWA technology. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the CRADA shall transfer from TomoTherapy to LICENSEE pursuant to a separate Transfer Agreement by and among LICENSEE, TomoTherapy and LLNL.
1.4		LICENSEE is interested in acquiring certain rights to those patents and patent applications listed in Exhibit A (LICENSED PATENTS) of this Agreement, and any additional patents, patent applications, and copyrightable works that are either added as a result of expansion of the fields of use or are developed under the Statement of Work of

1

		the CRADA and by the LLNL DWA team on related projects that would be useful for the development, manufacture, and use of the technology. TomoTherapy is willing to grant such rights under the terms set forth herein, with the understanding that TomoTherapy’s ability to amend the terms and conditions are subject always to LLNS’ agreement and incorporation of any amendments or modifications in the Underlying License.
1.5		The Parties intend that royalties due under this Agreement will be calculated and paid on Sales of the Licensed Products or Licensed Services by LICENSEE.
1.6		LICENSEE recognizes the need to practice due diligence in the development of Licensed Patents in accordance with the Agreement’s terms and conditions to maintain the sublicense and to acquire rights to additional fields of use. In addition, both Parties acknowledge that the U.S. Government has certain march-in rights in accordance with 48 CFR 27.304-1 (g) and 15 USC 3710a(b)(1)(B) and (C).
1.7		As of the Effective Date, TomoTherapy has no knowledge of any pending or threatened claim related to the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Method, and it has not granted to any third party any license, option, or other right that conflicts with, or could conflict with, if exercised, the license, options, and other rights granted by it under this Agreement.

4

			any sublicensee. Where such products or services are not currently Sold or offered for Sale by LICENSEE and any sublicensees, or others, then the Net Sales will be LICENSEE’s and/or any sublicensee’s cost of manufacture of Licensed Product or the cost of conducting the service, determined by LICENSEE’s and/or any sublicensee’s customary accounting procedures, plus LICENSEE’s average gross margin less any amounts attributable to the items set forth in Paragraphs 2.8.1 through 2.8.3 above;
	2.9.3		In those instances where LICENSEE or a sublicensee acquires and subsequently Sells Licensed Product or Licensed Service previously Sold to which an earned royalty accrued hereunder, Net Sales will mean the Net Invoice Price upon Sale of such Licensed Product or Licensed Service, as applicable, by LICENSEE or the sublicensee, less the Net Invoice Price of the immediately preceding Sale to LICENSEE or such sublicensee.

4.		SUBLICENSING RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
4.1		The sublicensing rights granted to LICENSEE by TomoTherapy are set forth in Exhibit B (RIGHTS GRANTED AND PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS), Paragraph B.2 (Sublicensing Rights).
4.2		LICENSEE must include in any sublicense all the rights and obligations set forth in Paragraphs 1.6 and 3.2 of this Agreement.

4.4		LICENSEE must include in all sublicenses the notice that upon termination of this Agreement or the Underlying License for any reason, either TomoTherapy or LLNS, at its sole discretion, will determine whether any or all sublicenses will be canceled or assigned to TomoTherapy or LLNS.
4.5		LICENSEE will notify TomoTherapy of each sublicense granted hereunder and provide TomoTherapy with a complete copy of each executed sublicense within thirty (30) days of issuance of the sublicense.
4.6		Consideration owed to TomoTherapy will be paid to TomoTherapy on or before the due date of the royalty report applicable to the quarter in which consideration was finally due and owing to LICENSEE under the sublicense. LICENSEE will collect from the sublicensees and will pay to TomoTherapy all fees, royalties, and the cash equivalent of any consideration due TomoTherapy.
5.		FEES, ROYALTIES, AND PAYMENTS

9

5.1		Fees and royalties due on Net Sales of Licensed Products or Licensed Services will be as specified in this Article 5, Exhibit C (FEES AND ROYALTIES), and Article 7 (ROYALTY AND PROGRESS REPORTS) of this Agreement.
5.2		As partial consideration for the rights granted to LICENSEE, LICENSEE will pay to TomoTherapy milestone payments as set forth in Exhibit C.
5.3		As partial consideration for all the rights granted to LICENSEE, LICENSEE will pay TomoTherapy minimum annual royalties as set forth in Exhibit C.
5.4		As partial consideration for all the rights granted to LICENSEE, LICENSEE will pay to TomoTherapy earned royalties at the rate set forth in Exhibit C.
5.5		Earned royalties shall accrue when LICENSEE receives payment for Licensed Products or Licensed Services, or if no such payment is to be received, when such Licensed Products or Licensed Services are delivered in a manner constituting a Net Sale as defined in Article 2 (DEFINITIONS), Paragraph 2.9, and no further deliverables are due to the customer by LICENSEE or sublicensee.
5.6		Payment for earned royalties will include all royalties accrued up to the last day of the most recently completed calendar quarter, and such payment shall be made on the dates specified below:
		February 28 for the calendar quarter ending December 31;
		May 31 for the calendar quarter ending March 31;
		August 31 for the calendar quarter ending June 30; and
		November 30 for the calendar quarter ending September 30.
5.7		All consideration due TomoTherapy shall be payable in United States dollars. When Licensed Products or Licensed Services are sold for monies other than United States dollars, earned royalties will first be determined in the foreign currency of the country in which such Licensed Products or Licensed Services were Sold and then converted into equivalent United States dollars. The exchange rate will be the one actually used by LICENSEE to record such sale on its financial statements.

10

5.8		Earned royalties on Sales of Licensed Products or Licensed Services occurring in any country outside the United States shall not be reduced by any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the government of such country except those taxes, fees, and charges allowed under the provisions of Paragraph 2.9 (Net Invoice Price). LICENSEE also will be responsible for all bank transfer charges.
5.9		Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 26 (FORCE MAJEURE), if at any time legal restrictions prevent prompt remittance of any earned royalties or other consideration owed to TomoTherapy by LICENSEE with respect to any country where a sublicense is issued or a Licensed Product or Licensed Service is Sold, then LICENSEE will convert the amount owed to TomoTherapy into United States dollars and will pay TomoTherapy directly from another source of funds in order to remit the entire amount owed to TomoTherapy. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if LICENSEE is prohibited itself by such legal restrictions from collecting the Net Invoice Price for the sale of any Licensed Product or Licensed Service or any royalty or fee from a sublicense, LICENSEE shall not be obligated to convert such amount owed, but rather will send written notice to TomoTherapy of such legal restrictions and of the amount owed. Upon removal of such legal restrictions, LICENSEE will convert said amount owed to TomoTherapy into United States dollars and will remit the entire amount owed to TomoTherapy.
5.10		No earned royalties will be collected or paid hereunder to TomoTherapy on Licensed Products or Licensed Services Sold to the account of the U.S. Government. LICENSEE and its sublicensee will reduce the amount charged for Licensed Products or Licensed Services Sold to the U.S. Government by an amount equal to the royalty for such Licensed Products or Licensed Services otherwise due TomoTherapy. LICENSEE will provide TomoTherapy with U.S. Government contract numbers and a written statement by LICENSEE’s contracting officer that Sale of Licensed Products to the U.S. Government were reduced by the amount of royalty due TomoTherapy.
5.11		If TomoTherapy must pursue legal means to obtain payments owed by LICENSEE, LICENSEE will pay TomoTherapy for all reasonable legal costs and any other related costs expended by TomoTherapy to collect payments owed by LICENSEE.

11

5.12		In the event that any patent or any claim thereof included within the Patent Rights is held invalid in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to pay royalties based on such patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct there from will cease as of the date of such final decision. LICENSEE will not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before such final decision and LICENSEE will be obligated to pay the full amount of royalties due hereunder to the extent that TomoTherapy licenses one or more Valid Claims within the Patent Rights to LICENSEE with respect to Licensed Products or Licensed Services.
6.		DUE DILIGENCE
6.1		LICENSEE, upon execution of this Agreement, will use all commercially reasonable efforts to diligently proceed with the development, manufacture, and Sale of Licensed Products and Licensed Services and use of Licensed Methods, and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to earnestly and diligently market the same after execution of this Agreement and in quantities sufficient to meet the market demands therefore.
6.2		LICENSEE will meet the specific performance obligations and milestones specified in Exhibit B (RIGHTS GRANTED AND PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS), in accordance with the terms and conditions therein (including, without limitation, the cure periods and potential modifications to such time periods therein). If LICENSEE is unable to meet such milestones in accordance with Exhibit B, the Parties will use all reasonable efforts to negotiate a new schedule and the conditions for continuation of a limited exclusive sublicense, subject always to TomoTherapy’s ability to negotiate a new schedule and conditions with LLNS under the Underlying License.

	6.2.1		If the missed milestone occurs before [ * ] the Parties will agree on a new schedule.
	6.2.2		If the missed milestone occurs on or after [ * ] and before [ * ] and the Parties are unable to reach agreement on a new schedule,

12

			TomoTherapy will have the right to convert the limited exclusive license for Licensed Patents to a nonexclusive license.
	6.2.3		If the missed milestone occurs on or after [ * ] TomoTherapy will have the right and option to: (a) convert the limited exclusive license for Licensed Patents to a nonexclusive license; or (b) terminate this Agreement per Article 10 (TERMINATION), Paragraph 10.1 (Termination by TomoTherapy), subject to the provisions described in Article 11 (DISPOSITION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS ON HAND UPON TERMINATION).

6.3		LICENSEE will comply with all applicable governmental laws and obtain all necessary governmental approvals in each country where Licensed Products or Licensed Services are manufactured, used, Sold, imported, or offered for Sale.
6.4		TomoTherapy will notify LICENSEE if TomoTherapy is approached by a third party seeking a license to make, use, or sell the Invention or the Licensed Products in LICENSEE’s Field of Use because commercial demand is not then being met. LICENSEE will negotiate in good faith with that third party to grant a sublicense for any Licensed Patents in the market for which LICENSEE and existing sublicensees are not meeting commercial demand. The determination to grant a sublicense may be based on LICENSEE‘s business interests, and may be granted or denied in LICENSEE’s reasonable business judgment, provided, however, that LICENSEE provides TomoTherapy with a justification (which shall be treated as Proprietary Information) for denying any such sublicense.
6.5		During the term of this Agreement, LICENSEE will conduct normal, continuous business operations. If LICENSEE seeks protection under any United States bankruptcy proceedings during the term of this Agreement, LICENSEE will notify TomoTherapy in writing no later than seventy-two (72) hours after the bankruptcy filing. Upon filing bankruptcy, the license terminates at TomoTherapy’s option as stated in Article 9 (LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT), Paragraph 9.2.

6.6 To exercise either the right to terminate this Agreement or to reduce the exclusive licenses granted to LICENSEE to nonexclusive licenses for lack of diligence required in

13

		this Article 6, TomoTherapy will give LICENSEE written notice, setting forth specific details as to the nature of the alleged deficiency. LICENSEE thereafter has sixty (60) days to cure the deficiency. If TomoTherapy has not received written tangible evidence satisfactory to TomoTherapy that the deficiency has been cured by the end of the sixty- (60) day period, then TomoTherapy may, at its option, terminate this Agreement immediately without the obligation to provide sixty (60) days’ notice as set forth in Paragraph 10.1 or reduce the exclusive licenses granted to LICENSEE to nonexclusive licenses by giving written notice to LICENSEE.
7.		ROYALTY AND PROGRESS REPORTS
7.1		LICENSEE will submit to TomoTherapy an annual progress report as described in Paragraph 7.2 below covering activities by LICENSEE and its sublicensees related to the development and testing of all Licensed Products and Licensed Services. Such progress report will be signed by LICENSEE’s General Manager or his/her designee attesting to the accuracy of the information in the report. If LICENSEE fails to submit a timely progress report to TomoTherapy, TomoTherapy will be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the material breach provision set forth in Paragraph 10.1. If either party terminates this Agreement before any Licensed Products or Licensed Services are Sold or before this Agreement’s expiration, a final progress report covering the period prior to termination must be submitted within thirty (30) days of termination.
7.2		The progress reports submitted under Paragraph 7.1 above will include, but not be limited to, a reasonably detailed summary of the following topics:

	•		Summary of work completed toward commercialization of Licensed Patents;
	•		Schedule of anticipated events or milestones, including status of those events or milestones. Should LICENSEE wish to change the schedule of events or milestones specified in Exhibit B (RIGHTS GRANTED AND PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS), LICENSEE must request advance written approval from TomoTherapy;
	•		A financial statement showing the investments made in the commercialization effort to date;

14

	•		Anticipated and actual market introduction dates of each Licensed Product or Licensed Service;
	•		Summary of marketing and sales activities, including copies of marketing and sales literature; and
	•		activities of the sublicensees, if any.

7.3		LICENSEE also will report to TomoTherapy in its immediately subsequent progress report the date of first Sale or other exploitation of a Licensed Product or Licensed Service in each country.
7.4		Beginning with the quarter following First Commercial Acceptance, LICENSEE will provide quarterly royalty reports and payments to TomoTherapy on or before each February 28, May 31, August 31, and November 30 of each year. If there were no Sale of Licensed Products or Licensed Services, the report will state that. Royalty reports will be signed by LICENSEE’s General Manager or chief financial officer, or their designee, attesting to the accuracy of the report. Each such royalty report will cover the most recently completed calendar quarter (October through December covered in the February 28th report, January through March in the May 31st report, April through June in the August 31st report, and July through September in the November 30th report) and will show:

7.4.1 the gross invoice prices and Net Sales of Licensed Products or Licensed Services Sold or otherwise exploited by LICENSEE and its sublicensees during the most recently completed calendar quarter;

	7.4.2		the number of Licensed Products or Licensed Services Sold or otherwise exploited by LICENSEE and its sublicensees during the most recently completed calendar quarter;
	7.4.3		the place of manufacture of Licensed Products or practice of Licensed Services;
	7.4.4		the royalties, in U.S. dollars, payable hereunder with respect to Net Sales;

15

	7.4.5		the method used to calculate the royalty, specifying all deductions taken and the dollar amount of each such deduction; and
	7.4.6		the exchange rates used, if any.

7.5		LICENSEE will provide TomoTherapy with an annual statement of royalty accounts within sixty (60) days after the financial closing of LICENSEE’s fiscal year. TomoTherapy will protect such statements, and any of the other reports provided to TomoTherapy pursuant to Article 7, as Proprietary Information and not disseminate them unless required by law or permitted by this Agreement. If a disclosure is required by law, TomoTherapy will give LICENSEE the opportunity to seek a protective order preventing or limiting such disclosure.
8.		BOOKS AND RECORDS
8.1		LICENSEE will keep books and records accurately showing all payments due TomoTherapy and all Licensed Products and Licensed Services manufactured (including place of manufacture), used, offered for Sale, imported, and/or Sold under the terms of this Agreement. Such books and records will be preserved for at least five (5) years after the date of the payment to which they pertain and will be open to inspection by representatives or agents of TomoTherapy at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to determine their accuracy and assess LICENSEE’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
8.2		The fees and expenses of representatives of TomoTherapy performing such an examination will be borne by TomoTherapy. If, however, an underpayment error in royalties of more than five percent (5%) of the total royalties due for any year is discovered, LICENSEE will bear the reasonable costs associated with the examination and will remit such underpayment to TomoTherapy within thirty (30) days of the examination result.

8.3 LICENSEE will provide TomoTherapy with an annual audited financial statement of LICENSEE, including at a minimum a balance sheet and operating statement or LICENSEE’s annual report, and TomoTherapy will treat such reports as Proprietary

16

9.4 The termination or expiration of this Agreement will not relieve LICENSEE of its obligation to pay any fees, royalties, and reimbursements for foreign filing costs, or other

17

		payments owed to TomoTherapy at the time of such termination or expiration and will not impair any accrued right of TomoTherapy.
10.		TERMINATION
10.1		Termination by TomoTherapy: If LICENSEE fails to perform any material term or covenant of this Agreement, except for failure to meet a performance obligation which is specifically addressed in Paragraph 6.2, TomoTherapy may give written notice to LICENSEE that if LICENSEE has not cured such failure within sixty (60) days after the effective date of receipt of the notice, this Agreement will terminate at the end of such sixty- (60) day period or at the end of such longer period as may be set forth in TomoTherapy’s notice.

10.3		This Agreement will terminate, effective ten (10) days after the effective date of notice by TomoTherapy, if LICENSEE is dissolved or liquidated.
11.		DISPOSITION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS ON HAND UPON TERMINATION
11.1		Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 (TERMINATION), LICENSEE may Sell all previously made or partially made Licensed Products (and such partially made Licensed Products may be completed prior to Sale), but will not make or Sell additional Licensed Products, provided, however, that the Sale of such Licensed Products will be subject to the terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to, the payment of earned royalties at the rates and at the times provided herein and the rendering of reports in connection therewith LICENSEE will also be permitted to provide Licensed Services for so long as is reasonably necessary to complete those contractual obligations of LICENSEE accruing prior to termination or expiration of this Agreement, provided that LICENSEE’s providing of such Licensed Services will be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the payment of

18

		earned royalties at the rates and at the times provided herein and the rendering of reports in connection herewith.
11.2		Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement by either Party pursuant to Article 10 (TERMINATION), LICENSEE will provide TomoTherapy with a written inventory of all Licensed Products in process of manufacture or in stock on the date of termination. LICENSEE may complete Licensed Products in the process of manufacture at the time of termination, and may dispose of Licensed Products provided that LICENSEE pays royalties to TomoTherapy on such dispositions.
11.3		Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 (TERMINATION), LICENSEE may not practice Licensed Methods after the date of termination of this Agreement except as necessary to complete the manufacture of Licensed Products as permitted under Paragraph 11.2 and to provide Licensed Services as described in Paragraph 11.1.
12.		PATENT PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE
12.1		Either LLNS or TomoTherapy will prosecute patent applications and maintain patents licensed under this Agreement. LICENSEE and TomoTherapy will review and amend Exhibit A (LICENSED PATENTS) in this License from time to time so that the amended list of Licensed Patents will be those that both Parties believe are necessary for commercialization of Licensed Products, subject always to agreement by LLNS and inclusion of such patents as licensed patents in the Underlying License. The cost to file and prosecute U.S. Licensed Patents will be as follows:

12.1.1 Category 1 Patents: LICENSEE will reimburse TomoTherapy $[ * ] for each Category 1 Patent required for commercialization in the Particle and Radiotherapy Field of Use as set forth in this Agreement as of the Effective Date. Payment for those Category 1 Patents will be made following the successful completion and testing of the sub-scale prototype. To the extent LICENSEE is granted either or both of the Commercial DWA or National Security Fields of Use and additional Category 1 Patents are added as a result, LICENSEE shall be

19

			responsible for paying for any such patents in accordance with the terms of the Underlying License as amended.
	12.1.2		Category 2 Patents: LICENSEE may be required to pay an additional fee for Category 2 Patents added to this License.
	12.1.3		Category 3 Patents LICENSEE is responsible for prosecution costs of U.S. patents.

12.2		As the party solely responsible for the commercialization of the Invention, LICENSEE will pay all of the expenses associated with patent interferences, patent appeals to the USPTO Board of Appeals, patent appeals to a Federal Court, patent re-examinations, and patent re-issues, as long as the Licensed Patent remains on Exhibit A (LICENSED PATENTS) and LICENSEE maintains its exclusive license.
12.3		LICENSEE may request foreign rights in Licensed Patents, if such rights are available. LICENSEE must request such rights in writing, and specify the countries in which it wants rights, within six (6) months after the filing date of the U.S. applications. Failure to request such rights will be considered an election not to seek foreign rights. TomoTherapy or LLNS may file patent applications at its own expense in any country in which LICENSEE has not elected to secure foreign rights, and LICENSEE has no rights to any such foreign applications and resultant patents, unless such foreign rights are still available and LICENSEE pays for such rights.
12.4		All costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining foreign patent applications and patents covering the Inventions listed in Exhibit A (LICENSED PATENTS) will be borne by LICENSEE, subject to the terms of this Agreement. All such patents will be held in the name of LLNS. The costs of any interferences and oppositions for foreign patents will be considered prosecution expenses and also will be borne by LICENSEE. An advance fee (Fee) will be invoiced to LICENSEE by TomoTherapy for any future foreign filing of Licensed Patents listed in Exhibit A (LICENSED PATENTS). TomoTherapy is authorized to pay the incurred fees from the Fee. As evidence of expenses incurred, TomoTherapy will supply invoices for foreign filing requested by LICENSEE to LICENSEE. TomoTherapy shall credit to LICENSEE any remaining

20

		balance of the Fee not used for foreign filing expenses incurred. The Fee is not an advance against any other fees or royalties due TomoTherapy under this Agreement
12.5		The preparation, filing, and prosecution of foreign patent applications, as well as the maintenance of the resulting patents, shall be at the expense of LICENSEE. TomoTherapy shall invoice LICENSEE for payment of costs for foreign patent application preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance. If such payment is not received within ninety (90) days, such foreign license rights shall be excluded from this license agreement, unless such foreign license rights are still available and LICENSEE pays for such rights. TomoTherapy shall not be liable in any manner for the loss of such foreign license rights arising due to LICENSEE’s failure to pay such fees on a timely manner. Any overpayments by LICENSEE for foreign patent filing and maintenance costs shall be credited towards LICENSEE’s future foreign patent cost obligations.
12.6		Notwithstanding any previous payment of fees or election to pursue such rights, LICENSEE may, at its sole discretion, terminate its license to any foreign patent application(s) or patent(s), and its obligation to pay any further costs for those corresponding foreign rights, upon thirty (30) days written notice to TomoTherapy. TomoTherapy, LLNS or the U.S. Government may, at their sole discretion and expense, continue prosecution and/or maintenance of any patents or applications for which LICENSEE has relinquished rights.
13.		PATENT INFRINGEMENT
13.1		In the event that LICENSEE learns of infringement that it believes may have potential commercial significance to any Licensed Patent, LICENSEE will provide TomoTherapy (i) with written notice of such infringement and (ii) with any evidence of such infringement available to it (the “Infringement Notice”). TomoTherapy will use reasonable efforts to xxxxx an any infringing activity of commercial significance to LICENSEE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as between TomoTherapy and LICENSEE, TomoTherapy retains the sole and exclusive right to institute any suit of infringement against an infringer. TomoTherapy shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately without the obligation to provide 60 days’ notice as set forth in

21

		Paragraph 10.1 if LICENSEE notifies a third party in writing of infringement, puts such third party on notice in writing of the existence of any Patent Rights with respect to such infringement or otherwise takes any action to enforce the Licensed Patents.
13.2		If TomoTherapy does institute suit for patent infringement, LICENSEE shall cooperate with TomoTherapy. TomoTherapy shall reimburse LICENSEE for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by LICENSEE in providing such cooperation.
13.3		Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will belong to TomoTherapy.
14.		USE OF NAMES AND TRADEMARKS
		Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as conferring any right to either Party to use in advertising, publicity, or other promotional activities any name, trade name, trademark, or other designation of the other Party or LLNL or LLNS (including a contraction, abbreviation or simulation of any of the foregoing). Unless consented to in writing by LLNL or LLNS, the use by LICENSEE of the name “Xxxxxxxx Livermore National Laboratory” by LICENSEE in advertising, publicity, or other promotional activities is expressly prohibited. Unless consented to in writing by TomoTherapy, the use by LICENSEE of the name “TomoTherapy” by LICENSEE in advertising, publicity, or other promotional activities is expressly prohibited.
15.		LIMITED WARRANTY
15.1		TomoTherapy warrants to LICENSEE that it has the lawful right to grant this sublicense.
15.2		Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the licenses and the associated Invention, Patent Rights, Licensed Products, Licensed Services, and Licensed Methods are provided by TomoTherapy WITHOUT WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TOMOTHERAPY MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE INVENTION, PATENT

22

		RIGHTS, LICENSED PRODUCTS, OR LICENSED METHODS WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK OR OTHER RIGHTS.
15.3		Nothing in this Agreement is or will be construed as:

	15.3.1		a warranty or representation by TomoTherapy as to the validity, enforceability, or scope of any Patent Rights; or
	15.3.2		a warranty or representation that anything made, used, sold, or otherwise disposed of under any license granted in this Agreement is or will be free from infringement of patents, copyrights, or other rights of third parties; or
	15.3.3		an obligation to bring or prosecute actions or suits against third parties for patent infringement except as provided in Article 13 (PATENT INFRINGEMENT); or
	15.3.4		conferring by implication, estoppel, or otherwise any license or rights under any patents or other rights of TomoTherapy other than Patent Rights, regardless of whether such patents are dominant or subordinate to Patent Rights; or
	15.3.5		an obligation to furnish any New Developments, know-how, technology, or technological information not provided in Patent Rights.

15.4		LIMITATION OF LIABILITY – TOMOTHERAPY, LLNL, LLNS OR DOE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOST BUSINESS, ENHANCED DAMAGES FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER SPECIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY LICENSEE, SUBLICENSEES, JOINT VENTURES, OR AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, FOR ALL CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING TORT, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY AND BREACH OF WARRANTY) EVEN IF TOMOTHERAPY, LLNL, LLNS OR DOE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
16.		INDEMNIFICATION

23

LICENSEE will, and will require its sublicensees to (to the extent permitted by Federal or applicable State law without the consent of a legislative body, an elected official, or governmental unit), indemnify, hold harmless, and defend TomoTherapy, LLNS, LLNL, DOE, their officers, employees, and agents; the sponsors of the research that led to the Invention; and the inventors of any invention claimed in the patent under Patent Rights (including the Licensed Products, Licensed Services, and Licensed Methods contemplated thereunder) and their employers against any and all amounts paid pursuant to any claims, suits, losses, damage, costs, fees, and expenses alleging that any Licensed Product or Licensed Service infringes the intellectual property of another party or has injured any other party. TomoTherapy will, and will require all other parties to be indemnified pursuant to this paragraph, immediately surrender to LICENSEE the prosecution or defense of any such claim or suit, and LICENSEE will pay any and all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by TomoTherapy in enforcing this indemnification. This indemnification will include, but will not be limited to, any product liability.

17.		INSURANCE
17.1		LICENSEE will insure its activities relating to this Agreement at its own cost with an insurance company reasonably acceptable to TomoTherapy. LICENSEE will obtain, keep in force, and maintain insurance as follows with an insurance company reasonably acceptable to TomoTherapy or an equivalent program of self-insurance: Comprehensive or Commercial Form General Liability Insurance, including contractual liability and product liability, with coverage as follows:

	17.1.1		Each occurrence coverage of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000); and

17.2		These coverages do not limit the liability of LICENSEE to TomoTherapy in any way. LICENSEE will provide TomoTherapy, upon request, with certificates of insurance or self-insurance, including renewals that show compliance with these requirements. LICENSEE’s failure to maintain such required insurance will be considered a material breach of this Agreement.
17.3		If the required insurance is written on a claims-made form, coverage must provide a retroactive date of placement before or coinciding with the Effective Date of this Agreement.
17.4		LICENSEE will maintain the general liability insurance specified in this Article 17 during the period that the Licensed Patents of TomoTherapy are being used and/or Licensed Products are being sold or otherwise commercially distributed by LICENSEE, and for a period of not less than three (3) years thereafter.
17.5		LICENSEE’s insurance coverage must:

	17.5.1		Provide for at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to TomoTherapy of cancellation or any modification; and

25

18.2		Failure on the part of either Party to exercise or enforce any right of such Party under this Agreement will not be a waiver by such Party of any right, or operate to bar the enforcement or exercise of the right at any time thereafter.
19.		ASSIGNABILITY
19.1		This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of TomoTherapy, its successors and assigns, but is personal to LICENSEE.

EXHIBIT B — RIGHTS GRANTED AND PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS

B.1		Rights Granted
B.1.1		Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, TomoTherapy hereby grants to LICENSEE an exclusive, nontransferable (other than in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein), royalty-bearing, license under Patent Rights (a) to make, use, Sell, offer for Sale, and import or export, subject to compliance with Article 25, Licensed Products and Licensed Services in the Current Field of Use; and (b) to practice Licensed Methods in the Current Field of Use.
B.1.2		“Current Field of Use” means Particle and Radiotherapy.

	B.1.2.1		To maintain exclusivity in the Current Field of Use, LICENSEE will have to submit a commercialization plan for each particle therapy application (e.g., carbon-12, heavy ion particle, etc.) even if the plan simply involves sublicensing. The first of these commercialization plans beyond proton therapy will be required [ * ] years after First Commercial Acceptance. If LICENSEE fails to submit a commercialization plan for any particle therapy application within the required [ * ] years after First Commercial Acceptance, the Current Field of Use would be reduced to Proton and Radiotherapy.
	B.1.2.2		LICENSEE shall have an option to negotiate to expand the Current Field of Use to include the Commercial DWA Field of Use, provided that LICENSEE submits a separate or supplemental commercialization plan for this broader field within three years of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
	B.1.2.3		LICENSEE shall have an option to negotiate to expand the Current Field of Use to include the National Defense DWA Field of Use, provided that LICENSEE submits a separate or supplemental commercialization plan for this field of use within three years of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
	B.1.2.4		All fields of use set forth in B.1.2.1 through B.1.2.3 above will be exclusive as long as LICENSEE submits an acceptable commercialization plan for that field
