5.3

Royalties.

5.3.1

Within [**] days following the First Commercial Sale of a Product in each country in the Territory, Biodel shall give written notice to Aegis thereof.

Confidential

5.3.2

During the Royalty Term, Biodel shall pay to Aegis royalties on a Product by Product and a country by country basis in accordance with this Section 5.3, in an amount equal to the Royalty Rate per Table 5.3.2, below, times the Net Sales of Products by Biodel, its sublicensees and their respective Affiliates during the applicable time period, subject to reduction as set forth in Sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.6 below.


Cumulative Annual Net Sales		Royalties Rate

First $[**] in Annual Net Sales		[**]%
Next $[**] in Annual Net Sales		[**]%
Next $[**] in Annual Net Sales		[**]%
Next $[**] in Annual Net Sales		[**]%
Annual Net Sales above $[**]		[**]%

5.3.3

The royalty percentage then applicable under this Section 5.3 to Net Sales of any Product made in any country in the Territory shall be reduced by [**]% if, at the time of the sale of such Product in such country, there are Competing Products that collectively account for [**]% or more of all sales across all indications for which the Products are marketed in that country. In the event that Competing Products in any country no longer collectively account for [**]% or more of all sales across all indications for which the Products are marketed in that country, then such [**]% reduction shall be suspended.

5.3.4

If the level of competition, patent protection or the general commercial environment for such Product in such country materially affect the commercial viability of such Product in such country under the royalty percentage then applicable under this Section 5.3, then Aegis shall, upon written notice by Biodel, negotiate and agree with Biodel in good faith a reduction of such royalty rates, as applicable to such Product in such country.

5.3.5

If Biodel, its sublicensees or their respective Affiliates sells any Product to a third party who also purchases other products or services from Biodel, its sublicensees or their respective Affiliates, and Biodel, its sublicensees or their respective Affiliates discounts the purchase price of such Product to a greater degree than it generally discounts the price of its other products or services to such customer, then in such case the Annual Net Sales for the sale of such Product to such third party shall equal the arm’s length price that third parties would generally pay for such Product alone when not purchasing any other product or service from Biodel, its sublicensee or their respective Affiliates. For purposes of this provision “discounting” includes establishing the list price at a lower-than-normal level. For clarity, “discounting” does not include statutory or regulatory discounts imposed by a government agency required in order to sell the Product in such country.

In other words, the Royalty Term is determined separately for each Product and each country in the Territory and Biodel shall have no obligation to pay royalties for Net Sales on a particular Product in a particular country after expiration of the Royalty Term for such Product in such country, notwithstanding the fact that the Royalty Term may not have expired for such Product in other countries or other Products in

Confidential

such country. In addition, royalty payments under this Section 5.3 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.7.

5.3.7

Third Party Licenses.

(a)

If Biodel determines, in its reasonable judgment (subject to subpart (b) below), that the intellectual property rights of a third party are necessary for the practice of any Aegis Technology in accordance with this License Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other remedy that may be available to Biodel under any other provision of this Agreement, the royalty and milestone amounts owed to Aegis hereunder for Exploiting the Aegis Technology in the country (or countries) where such third party intellectual property rights are enforceable shall be subject to a credit reduction in an amount equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of the amount of any payments that Biodel (or any of its sublicensees) pays such third party to use such third party intellectual property rights; provided, no payment to Aegis shall be reduced by more than [**] percent ([**]%) of the amount payable before any reductions or credits (although any unused excess credit may be carried forward and applied against future payments).

(b)

If Aegis disputes a credit reduction proposed or taken by Biodel pursuant to Section 5.3.7(a) based on Aegis’ determination that the technology, and/or a license to intellectual property rights, of such third party is not necessary for the practice of any Aegis Technology in accordance with this License Agreement, Aegis may submit the issue of such credit reduction to an independent third party arbiter, mutually agreed to by the Parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, and such arbiter to have at least ten (10) years' experience in the biopharmaceutical industry overseeing drug development or patent law, who shall determine within [**] days whether, in the absence of rights granted by such third party, the practice of any Aegis Technology in accordance with this License Agreement would likely or actually infringe or misappropriate such third party’s intellectual property. Such arbiter’s determination shall be final and binding on the Parties with regard to the credit reduction otherwise available to Biodel pursuant to section 5.3.7(a).

(c)

In connection with any third party intellectual property rights described in Section 5.3.7(a), the parties shall cooperate with one another in good faith and in alignment with each parties interests in connection with the negotiation and implementation of any related license(s) from one or more third parties; provided, however, that the parties understand and agree that Aegis shall have the first right to enter into any such license(s) and to determine the terms of any such license(s). If (i) Aegis fails to secure a license from a third party, with the right to sublicense to Biodel pursuant to the terms of this License Agreement and there is no pending litigation or arbitration between Aegis and such third party to resolve the claims, or (ii) Biodel becomes subject to a proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction in which a third party seeks to enjoin the sale of Products based on claims that the activities undertaken by Biodel pursuant to this License Agreement require the taking of a license from one or more third parties; then in each case Biodel in its sole discretion may enter into any such license(s) and determine the terms of any such license(s).

5.4

With respect to sales of Products invoiced in United States dollars, all such amounts shall be expressed in United States dollars. With respect to sales of Products invoiced in a currency other than United States dollars, all such amounts shall be expressed both in the currency in which the sale is invoiced and in the United States dollar equivalent. The United States dollar equivalent shall be calculated using the average of the exchange rates (local currency per US$1) published in The Wall Street Journal, Western Edition, under the heading “Currency Trading” on each business day of the applicable calendar quarter.

If Aegis does not, within [**] days after receipt of notice from Biodel under Section 7.4.1, xxxxx the infringement of the Aegis Patent Rights for any Product in the Field or file suit to enforce the Aegis Patent Rights against at least one infringing party, Biodel shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Aegis, to take whatever action it deems appropriate to enforce the Aegis Patent Rights for any Product in the Field; provided, however, that, within [**] days after receipt of notice of Biodel’s intent to file such suit, Aegis shall have the right to join such suit as a co-plaintiff or co-defendant with Biodel and to fund up to [**] the costs of such suit; further provided that if a third party files an application with the FDA that includes a certification under subsection (b)(2)(A)(iv) or (j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) of section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, relating to a patent within the Aegis Patent Rights that is listed in the Orange Book with respect to any Product, Aegis shall have [**] days from the receipt of notice of such filing to elect to file suit to enforce such patent or to allow Biodel the right to take whatever action it deems appropriate to enforce such patent.

Waiver. No waiver by a party hereto of any breach or default of any of the covenants or agreements herein set forth shall be deemed a waiver as to any subsequent and/or similar breach or default. The failure by either party to take any action or assert any right hereunder shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such right, nor in any way be deemed to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof, or the right of a party to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this Agreement.

11.4

Rights Under U.S. Bankruptcy Code. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Aegis are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses to intellectual property as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. Aegis agrees that Biodel, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or any other provisions of applicable law outside the United States that provide similar protection for intellectual property rights, subject to performance by the Biodel of its preexisting and continuing obligations under this Agreement. The parties further agree that, in the event that any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Aegis under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking an entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or any substantial part of its property or it shall take any action to authorize any of the foregoing actions (each a “Proceeding”), Biodel shall have the right to retain and enforce its rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the rights and licenses set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and, if Aegis fails to supply the Material, the restriction in Section 3.3 shall not preclude Biodel from making or having made the Material.

Confidential

11.5

Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned or delegated, in whole or part, by either party without the prior express written consent of the other; provided, however, that (i) Biodel may, without the written consent of Aegis, assign this Agreement and its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its business related to the Product, or in the event of its merger, consolidation, change in control or similar transaction; (ii) Aegis may, without the written consent of Biodel, assign this Agreement and its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its business, or in the event of its merger, consolidation, change in control or similar transaction; and (iii) neither party shall unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to any proposed assignment in any situation whereby all of its rights and entitlements are unaffected. Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 11.5 shall be void. For avoidance of doubt, Aegis may have the Enhancement Agents manufactured by a third party contract manufacturer for the benefit of Aegis and/or Biodel, which shall not be deemed to be an assignment or delegation restricted by this Section 11.5.

11.6

Independent Contractors. The relationship of the parties hereto is that of independent contractors. The parties hereto are not deemed to be agents, partners or joint venturers of the others for any purpose as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.
