8. Publication of Results.

8.1 Publication of Results.

LLS will ensure that its employees and consultants who participate in activities under this Agreement are obligated to assign or otherwise transfer all right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property Rights in the Project Inventions to Company or its designee and will, as requested by Company, obtain for Company the execution of all necessary applications or other documents therefore from any employee or consultant.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, if the amounts payable to LLS pursuant to in Section 10(a) would jeopardize the feasibility of Company to engage in a transaction that Company’s Board of Directors determines to be in Company’s best interests, LLS and Company agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to develop alternative arrangements which have the same economic impact overall as the provisions of Section 10(a).

(d) Royalty payments to LLS shall be paid on a quarterly basis within sixty (60) days following the end of each quarter. Company shall provide LLS, financial information adequate to establish and document the amounts payable to LLS pursuant to this Section 10, and shall permit an independent auditor selected by LLS to examine its financial records to verify the accuracy of the amount payable to LLS. Audits of such financial information shall be conducted no more frequently than annually and shall take place at the location where such records are maintained by Company. The independent audit firm will be required to agree in writing with Company to comply with confidentiality restrictions at least as stringent as those set forth in this Agreement, and to provide a non-confidential summary of the results of the audit to both of the Parties. In the event that any such examination shows an underreporting and underpayment in excess of the greater of (i) *********
