[*] INDICATES CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
(b) All records shall be available during normal business hours for inspection at the expense of Cornell by Cornell’s Internal Audit Department or by a Certified Public Accountant selected by Cornell and in compliance with the other terms of this Agreement for the sole purpose of verifying reports and payments or other compliance issues. Such inspector shall not disclose to Cornell any information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports and payments made under this Agreement or other compliance issues. In the event that any such inspection shows an under reporting and underpayment in excess of [*]percent ([*]%) for any twelve-month (12-month) period, then LICENSEE shall pay the cost of the audit as well as any additional sum that would have been payable to Cornell had the LICENSEE reported correctly, plus an interest charge at a rate of [*] percent ([*]%) per year.

LICENSEE shall pay all bank charges resulting from the transfer of such royalty payments.
(iv) If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all royalties by LICENSEE with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold or a Sublicense is granted pursuant to this Agreement, LICENSEE shall convert the amount owed to Cornell into US currency and shall pay Cornell directly from its US sources of fund for as long as the legal restrictions apply.
(v) In the event that any patent or patent claim within Patent Rights is held invalid in a final decision by a patent office from which no appeal or additional patent prosecution has been or can be taken, or 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 solely on that patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct therefrom shall cease as of the date of such final decision. LICENSEE shall not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before the date of such final decision, that are based on another patent or claim not involved in such final decision.

In the event royalty, reimbursement and/or fee payments are not received by Cornell when due, LICENSEE shall pay to Cornell interest charges at a rate of [*]percent ([*]%) per year. Such interest shall be calculated from the date payment was due until actually received by Cornell.
ARTICLE 5. PATENT MATTERS
5.1 Patent Prosecution and Maintenance.
(a) Provided that LICENSEE has reimbursed Cornell for Patent Costs pursuant to Paragraph 3.2, Cornell shall diligently prosecute and maintain the United States and, if available, foreign patents, and applications in Patent Rights using counsel of its choice. Cornell shall provide LICENSEE with copies of all relevant documentation relating to such prosecution and LICENSEE shall keep this documentation confidential. The counsel shall take instructions only from Cornell, and all patents and patent applications in Patent Rights shall be assigned solely to CRF or Cornell.
(b) Cornell shall consider amending any patent application in Patent Rights to include claims reasonably requested by LICENSEE to protect the products contemplated to be sold as Licensed Products by LICENSEE under this Agreement.
(c) LICENSEE may elect to terminate its reimbursement obligations with respect to any patent application or patent in Patent Rights upon [*] months’ written notice to Cornell. Cornell shall use reasonable efforts to curtail further Patent Costs for such application or patent when such notice of termination is received from LICENSEE. Cornell, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, may continue prosecution and maintenance of said application or patent, and LICENSEE shall have no further license with respect thereto. Non-payment of any portion of Patent Costs with respect to any application or patent may be deemed by Cornell as an election by LICENSEE to terminate its reimbursement obligations with respect to such application or patent. Cornell is not obligated to file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights outside of the territory at any time or to file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights to which Licensee has terminated its License hereunder.
5.2 Patent Infringement.
(a) In the event that Cornell (to the extent of the actual knowledge of the licensing professional responsible for the administration of this Agreement) or LICENSEE learns of infringement of potential commercial significance of any patent licensed under this Agreement, the knowledgeable party will provide the other (i) with written notice of such infringement and (ii) with any evidence of such infringement available to it (the “Infringement Notice”). During the period in which, and in the jurisdiction where, LICENSEE has exclusive rights under this Agreement, neither Cornell nor LICENSEE will notify a third party (including the infringer) of infringement or put such third party on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights without first obtaining consent of the other which consent shall not be un-reasonably withheld. Cornell shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately without the obligation to provide [*] days’ notice as set forth in Paragraph 7.1 if LICENSEE notifies a third party of infringement or puts such third party on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights with respect to such infringement without first obtaining the written consent of Cornell. Both Cornell and LICENSEE will use their diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation.

[*] INDICATES CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
(b) If infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated within [*] days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, LICENSEE may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. CRF and/or Cornell may voluntarily join such suit at its own expense, but may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of LICENSEE’s suit or any judgment rendered in that suit. LICENSEE may not join CRF or Cornell in a suit initiated by LICENSEE without Cornell’s prior written consent. If, in a suit initiated by LICENSEE, CRF or Cornell is involuntarily joined other than by LICENSEE, LICENSEE will pay any costs incurred by CRF or Cornell arising out of such suit, including but not limited to, any legal fees of counsel that CRF or Cornell selects and retains to represent it in the suit.
(c) If, within [*] ([*]) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated and if LICENSEE has not brought suit against the infringer, CRF or Cornell may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. If CRF or Cornell institutes such suit, LICENSEE may not join such suit without CRF’s or Cornell’s consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of CRF’s or Cornell’s suit or any judgment rendered in that suit.
(d) Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be shared by Cornell or CRF and LICENSEE equally to cover the litigation costs each incurred, and next shall be paid to CRF, Cornell or LICENSEE to cover any litigation costs it incurred in excess of the litigation costs of the other, provided that any amounts reimbursed to Cornell or CRF by LICENSEE pursuant to Section 5.2(b) above shall be deducted from amounts shared hereunder. In any suit initiated by LICENSEE, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared between LICENSEE and Cornell as follows: (i) Cornell will receive [*] percent ([*]%) of the recovery if CRF or Cornell was not a party in the litigation and did not incur any litigation costs; (ii) Cornell will receive [*] percent ([*]%) of the recovery if CRF or Cornell was a party in the litigation, but did not incur any litigation costs, including the provisions of Paragraph 5.2(b) above, or (iii) Cornell will receive [*] percent ([*]%) of the recovery if CRF or Cornell incurred any litigation costs in connection with the litigation. In any suit initiated by CRF or Cornell, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared between LICENSEE and Cornell or CRF as follows: (i) LICENSEE will receive [*]percent ([*]%) of the recovery if LICENSEE was not a party in the litigation and did not incur any litigation costs; (ii) LICENSEE will receive [*] percent ([*]%) of the recovery if LICENSEE was a party in the litigation, but did not incur any litigation costs, or (iii) LICENSEE will receive [*] percent ([*]%) of the recovery if LICENSEE incurred any litigation costs in connection with the litigation. CRF, Cornell and LICENSEE agree to be bound by all determinations of patent infringement, validity, and enforceability (but no other issue) resolved by any adjudicated judgment in a suit brought in compliance with this Section 5.2.
(e) Any agreement made by LICENSEE for purposes of settling litigation or other dispute shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.2 (Sublicenses) of this Agreement.
(f) Each party will cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the party who initiated the suit (unless such suit is being jointly prosecuted by the parties).
(g) Any litigation proceedings will be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except that CRF and Cornell may be represented by counsel of its choice in any suit brought by LICENSEE.
5.3 Patent Marking. LICENSEE shall xxxx all Licensed Products made, used or sold under the terms of this Agreement, or their containers, in accordance with the applicable patent marking laws.

LICENSEE shall make all necessary filings and pay all costs including fees, penalties, and all other out-of-pocket costs associated with such reporting or approval process.
6.2 Export Control Laws. LICENSEE shall observe all applicable United States and foreign laws with respect to the transfer of Licensed Products and related technical data to foreign countries, including, without limitation, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations.

If a Notice of Termination is sent to LICENSEE, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the effective date of that notice. Termination shall not relieve LICENSEE of its obligation to pay any fees owed at the time of termination and shall not impair any accrued right of Cornell.
(b) This Agreement will terminate immediately, without the obligation to provide written notices as set forth in Paragraph 7.1(a), if LICENSEE files a claim including in any way the assertion that any portion of CRF’s or Cornell’s Patent Rights is invalid or unenforceable where the filing is by the LICENSEE, a third party on behalf of the LICENSEE, or a third party at the written urging of the LICENSEE.
