This Section shall be construed as requiring separate Milestone payments for each and every Licensed Product that is subject to a Clinical Trial, Regulatory Approval, and/or Product Launch and shall not be construed as limiting the number of times each Milestone can be achieved and for which payment is required. For example, $25,000 shall be paid to NeoIndicate for each Therapeutic Phase I Clinical Trial that is initiated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Phase I Clinical Trial must be re-done for the same Licensed Product, Sublicensee shall not owe NeoIndicate a second Milestone Payment.

5.8 Milestone Cure. If the Sublicensee fails to achieve any Diligence Milestone under Section 4.2, the Sublicensee has the right to cure such failure as provided under Section 11.2 of this Agreement. Upon expiration of the pertinent cure period, and in lieu of termination, NeoIndicate, at its sole option and upon sixty (60) days prior written notice, may convert the Sublicensee’s exclusive sublicense under this Agreement into a non-exclusive sublicense and may grant non-exclusive sublicenses and other rights to the Licensed Technology to Third Parties, even in the Field of Use, whether such Third Parties are commercial entities, academic institutions or other persons.

5.9 Royalty if Sublicensee Challenges the Patent(s). Notwithstanding the above, should Sublicensee bring an action seeking to invalidate any Patent included in the Licensed Technology, Sublicensee will pay Royalties directly to NeoIndicate at the rate of [***] of Net Sales during the pendency of such action. These Royalties shall not be refundable. Moreover, should the outcome of such action determine that any claim of a Patent(s) challenged by Sublicensee is both valid and infringed by a Licensed Product, Sublicensee will pay Royalties at the rate of [***] of Net Sales thereafter. Further, during the pendency of any action seeking to invalidate any Patent(s) included in the Licensed Technology, Sublicensee shall not pay Royalties into any escrow or other similar account but shall continue to pay amounts due to NeoIndicate.

PAYMENT TERMS

6.1 Royalties shall be paid by Sublicensee to NeoIndicate, as defined in the Section entitled “Royalties” for each Fiscal Quarter during the Term within sixty (60) days of the end of such Fiscal Quarter, until this Agreement expires or is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except that Sublicensee shall be entitled to pay the portion of the Royalties payable to CWRU under the CWRU 2022 License directly to CWRU. If this Agreement terminates before the end of a Fiscal Quarter, the payment for that terminal fractional portion of a Fiscal Quarter shall be made within ninety (90) days of the date of termination of this Agreement.

6.2 All payments hereunder shall be paid in U.S. Dollars and shall be made by wire transfer to NeoIndicate’s account at Key Bank (account number provided as needed), or by Sublicensee’s check sent in accordance with the Section entitled “Notices.” And in the case of payments made to CWRU, to CWRU’s account No. 010-104-2963, CWRU Ref.

6.3 All payments, including but not limited to Royalties, Annual License Maintenance Fees, Annual Minimum Royalties, Sublicensing Fees, and Milestone Payments payable hereunder which are overdue shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the Prime Rate in effect at the date such payments were due plus four percent (4%) per annum, but shall in no event exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. This provision for interest shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights CWRU or NeoIndicate has as a result of Sublicensee’s failure to make timely payment of any amounts.

REPORTS AND AUDITS

7.1 Sublicensee shall report Quarterly to NeoIndicate its Net Sales and Revenues, which are subject to Royalty payments.

7.2 No later than sixty (60) days after June 30 of each calendar year, Sublicensee shall provide to NeoIndicate a written annual progress report (“Progress Report”) describing progress on research and development, regulatory approvals, manufacturing, sublicensing, marketing and sales during the most recent twelve (12) month period ending June 30 and plans for the forthcoming year. If multiple Licensed Products are being developed, the Progress Report shall provide the information set forth above for each Licensed Product.

7.3 No later than thirty (30) days after the completion of a Diligence Milestone, Sublicensee shall provide to NeoIndicate a written report on the completion of said Diligence Milestone.

7.4 Sublicensee shall maintain accurate books and records such that the Royalties due and payable hereunder can be easily ascertained. Such books and records shall be maintained at Sublicensee’s principal place of business and shall be available for inspection by NeoIndicate or its representatives during the normal business day upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice, provided that NeoIndicate or its representatives agree to protect the confidentiality of the information as to the customers of Sublicensee.

7.5 Sublicensee shall make available Sublicensee’s books and records for audit by an accounting firm or representative of NeoIndicate’s selection upon reasonable advance notice and at a mutually agreed upon time, and Sublicensee agrees to cooperate fully in any such audit, provided that the auditors agree to protect the confidentiality of the information as to the customers of Sublicensee. Any such audit shall not be more frequent than annually. In the event that such audit determines that the amount of Royalties paid to Neoindicate was in error by more than five (5%) percent, Sublicensee shall pay the costs of the audit.

IMPROVEMENTS AND COLLABORATIONS

8.1 Discussion of technical matters with each other by the parties will not create any rights to ownership of patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights in solutions to the problem developed solely by employees or agents of the other party hereto.

8.2 Sublicensee will own all of the right, title and interest (including patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets and any other intellectual property rights, but excluding Patents) in and to the results of the collaboration between the parties that are developed solely by Sublicensee employees or agents.

8.3 Licensee will own all of the right, title and interest (including patents, Patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets and any other intellectual property rights) in and to the results of the collaboration between the parties that are developed solely by Licensee employees or agents.

8.4 CWRU will own all of the right, title and interest (including patents, Patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets and any other intellectual property rights) in and to the results of the collaboration between the parties that are developed solely by CWRU employees or agents.

Sublicensee may utilize such jointly developed property pursuant to the terms of this License Agreement. CWRU may issue licenses to others regarding such jointly developed property which result in Patents or Licensed Technology, with Licensee’s and Sublicensee’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, as long as such licenses do not violate any exclusive license to Licensee or Option to extend the Field of Use then existing under the Section entitled “License Grant”. If any other intellectual property is developed jointly by employees or agents of CWRU, Licensee, and Sublicensee which would not constitute a Patent or Licensed Technology and which are not subject to another agreement between CWRU and Licensee, CWRU, Licensee, and Sublicensee shall jointly own (without any duty to account to the other for profits) all right, title and interest (including patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights) therein, however, Sublicensee may not independently commercialize or issue any licenses to any Third Party relating to such joint intellectual property without the consent of CWRU or Licensee. If any patentable invention which would not constitute a Patent or Licensed Technology arises out of such joint development by employees or agents of CWRU, Licensee, and Sublicensee, CWRU, Licensee, and Sublicensee will engage in good faith efforts to mutually agree on whether and how to pursue patent, copyright or mask work protection of the invention in the U.S. and elsewhere.

8.6 Except as provided in this Section, nothing herein shall be deemed to grant any license or rights in any other technology in addition to the Licensed Technology.

Sublicensee will reimburse Licensee all past and future fees and expenses related to such patenting, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of each notification or bill, and in accordance with the payment plan in Section 9.5 below. Should Licensed Technology be further licensed to others by CWRU in other Fields of Use, then (a) the costs of such patenting and other intellectual property protection which are incurred after that point shall be pro-rated among all licenses in proportion to the number of licenses in effect at the time the costs are incurred and (b) the costs of patenting and other intellectual property protection that have been paid by Licensee or other entities which licensed the Licensed Technology after the Effective Date shall be pro-rated by the number of then existing licenses of Licensed Technology and Licensee shall be given a credit against future Royalties due under Section 5.1 for the portion of costs of patenting and other intellectual property protection which Licensee paid beyond its own pro-rata portion determined under the above pro-ration.

9.3 CWRU has applied for, and/or will apply for and prosecute Patent coverage, at Licensee and Sublicensee’s expense, in any country if so requested by Licensee or Sublicensee, for any and all Patents listed in Attachment A, to the extent that such protection is reasonably obtainable. CWRU will provide Licensee and Sublicensee with copies of all pending filings and official correspondence pertaining to the Patents, in sufficient time for Licensee and Sublicensee to comment and recommend changes. CWRU and its attorneys and agents will give reasonable consideration to Licensee and Sublicensee’s comments and recommendations.

9.4 CWRU may, at its option and sole discretion and at its own expense, pursue patent, copyright and/or trademark rights for Licensed Technology in any country for which coverage has not been requested by Licensee in accordance with Subsection 9.3 above. If Licensee does not reimburse CWRU for such fees within thirty (30) days of the receipt of each notification, then Licensee shall have no rights under any Patent in that country.

9.5 Sublicensee shall pay CWRU for all patent costs that CWRU incurred before the Effective Date that relate to the Licenced Technology, shall be by way of 3 equal annual instalments.
