5.4 As partial consideration for all the rights granted to XXXX, XXXX will pay to TomoTherapy earned royalties at the rate set forth in Exhibit C.
5.5 Earned royalties shall accrue when XXXX 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 2.24, and no further deliverables are due to the customer by XXXX or sublicensee.
5.6 Payments on earned royalties pursuant to Exhibit C, Paragraphs C.2.1.2 and C.2.2.2, for the sale of the first five DWA units shall be deferred until the second anniversary of the date of the first sale. Payment for other earned royalties will include all royalties accrued

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 XXXX to record such sale on its financial statements.
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 2.25 (Net Invoice Price). XXXX 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 XXXX with respect to any country where a sublicense is issued or a Licensed Product or Licensed Service is Sold, then XXXX 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 XXXX 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, XXXX 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,
XXXX 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. XXXX 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. XXXX will provide TomoTherapy with U.S. Government contract numbers and a written statement by XXXX’x 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 XXXX, XXXX will pay TomoTherapy for all reasonable legal costs and any other related costs expended by TomoTherapy to collect payments owed by XXXX.
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. XXXX will not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before such final decision and XXXX 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 XXXX with respect to Licensed Products or Licensed Services.
6. DUE DILIGENCE
6.1 XXXX, upon execution of this Agreement, will use all commercially reasonable efforts to (i) diligently proceed with the development, manufacture, and Sale of the LLNL Licensed Products and related Licensed Services and use of related 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 therefor (the “LLNL Licensed Products Diligence Obligation”) and (ii)
diligently proceed with the development, manufacture, and Sale of the DWA Licensed Products and related Licensed Services and use of related 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 therefor (the “DWA Licensed Products Diligence Obligation”); provided that, until XXXX achieves the Monterey Milestone, XXXX will use all commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the Monterey Milestone and will apply substantially all of its available technology and product development resources to achievement of the Monterey Milestone (the “Monterey Milestone Diligence Obligation”).
6.2 XXXX 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 XXXX is unable to meet such milestones in accordance with Exhibit B, XXXX may negotiate with LLNL or LLNS for a new schedule and the conditions for continuation of the Underlying License, subject always to TomoTherapy’s right to approve such new schedule and conditions with LLNS under the Underlying License. XXXX shall copy TomoTherapy on all written communications (including emails) from XXXX to LLNL or LLNS that relate to negotiations of a new milestone schedule or the conditions for continuation of the Underlying License and will promptly provide to TomoTherapy copies of all written communications (including emails) that XXXX receives from LLNL or LLNS that relate to negotiations of the terms of the Underlying License or any remedies or other steps that LLNL or LLNS is taking or may take by reason of any failure of TomoTherapy to meet any milestone schedule or conditions for continuation of the Underlying License and that LLNL or LLNS did not directly forward to TomoTherapy, including any notice regarding the exercise of conversion or termination rights in favor LLNS in Sections 6.2.2, 6.2.3 or 6.6 of the Underlying License. TomoTherapy will promptly provide to XXXX copies of all written communications (including emails) that TomoTherapy receives from LLNL that relate to any notices with respect to Sections 6.1, 6.2.2, 6.2.3 or 6.6 of the Underlying License. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, XXXX shall keep TomoTherapy timely apprised of all material developments in the negotiation of a new
milestone schedule or the conditions for continuation of the Underlying License with LLNL or LLNS or otherwise respect to the exercise by LLNL or LLNS of any rights or remedies with respect to the Underlying License. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein affects to obligations of LLNL or LLNS, as applicable, to provide directly to TomoTherapy any and all notices given by LLNL or LLNS under the Existing License. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if LLNL or LLNS provides notice to TomoTherapy or XXXX that LLNL or LLNS will not agree to extend any milestone date set forth in Exhibit B to the Underlying Sublicense to a date by which XXXX is able to achieve such milestone; or LLNL or LLNS otherwise provide notice of a failure to meet the obligations Paragraph 6.1, 6.2.2, 6.2.3 of the Underlying License; or LLNL or LLNS otherwise provide notice of an intent to exercise any of the conversion or termination rights in favor LLNS in Sections 6.1, 6.2.2, 6.2.3 or 6.6 of the Underlying License or if XXXX and LLNL or LLNS fail to reach agreement on a extended milestone schedule at least thirty (30) days before LLNS is permitted under Paragraph 6.2.2 or 6.2.3 of the Underlying Licensed to convert the limited exclusive license granted thereunder to TomoTherapy to a non-exclusive license or to terminate the Underlying License, TomoTherapy thereafter shall have the right to actively participate along with XXXX in all subsequent discussions and negotiations with LLNL and LLNS with respect to such matters and TomoTherapy and XXXX agree in such event to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with such joint discussions and negotiations with LLNL and LLNS.
6.3 If the terms of the Underlying License are modified due to a missed milestone, then the terms of this Agreement shall be modified to the same extent.
6.4 XXXX 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.
6.5 If LLNL notifies TomoTherapy that LLNL was approached by a third party seeking a license to make, use, or sell the Invention or the Licensed Products in the Fields of Use in which rights have been granted to XXXX under Exhibit B hereto because commercial demand is not then being met, then XXXX will negotiate in good faith with that third
party to grant a sublicense for any Licensed Patents in the market for which XXXX and existing sublicensees are not meeting commercial demand. The determination to grant a sublicense may be based on XXXX’x business interests, and may be granted or denied in XXXX’x reasonable business judgment, provided, however, that XXXX provides LLNL and TomoTherapy with a justification (which shall be treated as Proprietary Information) for denying any such sublicense.
6.6 During the term of this Agreement, XXXX will conduct normal, continuous business operations. If XXXX seeks protection under any United States bankruptcy proceedings during the term of this Agreement, XXXX 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.
6.7 If TomoTherapy receives any notice pursuant to Paragraph 6.6 of the Underlying License, TomoTherapy shall promptly forward such notice to XXXX and shall allow XXXX to negotiate directly with LLNL to cure any deficiencies.
6.8 If XXXX breaches the LLNL Licensed Products Diligence Obligation, the DWA Licensed Products Diligence Obligation or the Monterey Milestone Diligence Obligation under Paragraph 6.1, TomoTherapy will have the right and option to: (a), in the case of a breach of the LLNL Licensed Products Diligence Obligation, (1) convert the limited exclusive sublicense for LLNL Licensed Patents to a nonexclusive sublicense; or (2) terminate the limited exclusive sublicense for LLNL Licensed Patents, (b) in the case of a breach of the DWA Licensed Products Diligence Obligation, (1) convert the limited exclusive license for DWA TomoTherapy IP to a nonexclusive license; or (2) terminate the limited exclusive license for DWA IP; or (c), in the case of a breach of the Monterey Milestone Diligence Obligation, (1) convert the limited exclusive sublicense for the LLNL Licensed Patents and/or the DWA TomoTherapy IP to a nonexclusive sublicense; or (2) terminate the limited exclusive sublicense for LLNL Licensed Patents and/or terminate the limited exclusive license for DWA TomoTherapy IP. To exercise any right to terminate the limited exclusive sublicense for LLNL Licensed Patents or the limited exclusive license for DWA TomoTherapy IP or to convert the limited exclusive
sublicense for LLNL Licensed Patents or the limited exclusive license for DWA TomoTherapy IP to a nonexclusive license, in each case, for breach of any of the diligence obligations set forth in Paragraph 6.1, TomoTherapy will give XXXX written notice, setting forth specific details as to the nature of the alleged deficiency. In the case of a breach of the LLNL Licensed Products Diligence Obligation, XXXX has sixty (60) days after TomoTherapy gives XXXX written notice of the alleged deficiency to cure the deficiency and XXXX shall provide to TomoTherapy written tangible evidence that such breach has been cured by the end of the (60) day period; provided that, if LLNL agrees in writing to an extension of the sixty (60)-day period specified in Paragraph 6.6 of the Underlying License during which TomoTherapy may cure any deficiency in the performance of its diligence obligations under Article 6 of the Underlying License, the period during which XXXX will be permitted to cure any breach of the LLNL Licensed Products Diligence Obligation set forth in Paragraph 6.1 hereof automatically will be extended to the same extent as such agreed extension to the sixty (60) day cure period in Paragraph 6.6 of the Underlying License. In the case of a breach of the DWA Licensed Products Diligence Obligation or breach of the Monterey Milestone Diligence Obligation, XXXX has one hundred and twenty (120) days after TomoTherapy gives XXXX written notice of the alleged deficiency to cure the deficiency and XXXX shall provide to TomoTherapy written tangible evidence that the deficiency has been cured by the end of the one hundred and twenty (120) day period. If, at this point, TomoTherapy determines that XXXX has failed to cure the deficiency, then TomoTherapy may, at its option, immediately exercise the termination or conversion rights specified above in this Paragraph 6.8 by giving written notice to XXXX.
7. ROYALTY AND PROGRESS REPORTS
7.1 XXXX will submit to TomoTherapy an annual progress report as described in Paragraph 7.2 below covering activities by XXXX and its sublicensees related to the development and testing of all Licensed Products and Licensed Services. Such progress report will be signed by XXXX’x President or Chief Executive Officer or his/her designee attesting to the accuracy of the information in the report.

If there were no Sale of Licensed Products or Licensed Services, the report will state that. Royalty reports will be signed by XXXX’x 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:

7.5 XXXX will provide TomoTherapy with an annual statement of royalty accounts within sixty (60) days after the financial closing of XXXX’x 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 XXXX the opportunity to seek a protective order preventing or limiting such disclosure.
8. BOOKS AND RECORDS
8.1 XXXX 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 LLNL, LLNS or TomoTherapy, and their respective representatives or agents, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to determine their accuracy and assess XXXX’x 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, XXXX 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 XXXX will provide TomoTherapy with an annual audited financial statement of XXXX, including at a minimum a balance sheet and operating statement or XXXX’x annual report, and TomoTherapy will treat such reports as Proprietary Information to the extent the same is not part of a public filing. Such statement will be due to TomoTherapy within one hundred twenty (120) days following the close of XXXX’x fiscal year to which such statement relates.
9. LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT
9.1 Unless otherwise terminated by operation of law, Paragraph 9.2, or by acts of the Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement will remain in effect from the Effective Date until the expiration or abandonment of last of the Patent Rights licensed hereunder, at which point this Agreement will expire.
9.2 This Agreement will terminate at TomoTherapy’s option upon the filing of a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code by XXXX. If the bankruptcy petition is filed against XXXX by a third party, XXXX has sixty (60) days from the date of the petition to have such third-party bankruptcy filing dismissed. If at the end of the sixty (60) day period, XXXX fails to have the third party filing dismissed, this Agreement will terminate.
9.3 Any termination of this Agreement will not affect the rights and obligations set forth in the following Articles: Article 2 (DEFINITIONS), Article 5 (FEES, ROYALTIES, AND PAYMENTS), Article 8 (BOOKS AND RECORDS), Article 9 (LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT), Article 11 (DISPOSITION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS ON HAND UPON TERMINATION), Article 14 (USE OF NAMES AND TRADEMARKS), Article 15 (LIMITED WARRANTY), Article 16 (INDEMNIFICATION), Article 17 (INSURANCE), Article 21 (NOTICES), Article 22 (GOVERNING LAWS; VENUE; ATTORNEYS’ FEES), Article 28 (PROPRIETARY INFORMATION) and Paragraph B.3 of Exhibit B.2 (RIGHTS GRANTED AND PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS), subject to any time limitations set forth in those Articles. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, XXXX shall have no obligation to pay any amount under this Agreement unless such amount was due and owing prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
9.4 The termination or expiration of this Agreement will not relieve XXXX of its obligation to pay any fees, royalties, and reimbursements for foreign filing costs, or other 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 XXXX: XXXX will have the right at any time to terminate this Agreement by providing a Notice of Termination to TomoTherapy and paying any outstanding fees owed TomoTherapy. Termination of this Agreement will be effective sixty (60) days after the date such notice takes effect.
10.2 This Agreement will terminate, effective ten (10) days after the effective date of notice by TomoTherapy, if XXXX is dissolved or liquidated.
10.3 TomoTherapy shall have the right to terminate the 1imited exclusive sublicense for LLNL Licensed Patents and/or the limited exclusive license of the DWA TomoTherapy IP as provided in Paragraph 6.8.

11. DISPOSITION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS ON HAND UPON TERMINATION
11.1 Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 (TERMINATION), XXXX 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. XXXX will also be permitted to provide Licensed
Services for so long as is reasonably necessary to complete those contractual obligations of XXXX accruing prior to termination or expiration of this Agreement, provided that XXXX’x providing of such Licensed Services 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 herewith.
11.2 Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement by either Party pursuant to Article 10 (TERMINATION), XXXX will provide TomoTherapy with a written inventory of all Licensed Products in process of manufacture or in stock on the date of termination. XXXX may complete Licensed Products in the process of manufacture at the time of termination, and may dispose of Licensed Products provided that XXXX pays royalties to TomoTherapy on such dispositions.
11.3 Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 (TERMINATION), XXXX 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 LLNS Patents
12.1.1 LLNS will prosecute patent applications and maintain the LNLL Patents licensed under this Agreement. XXXX and LLNL will review and amend Exhibit A (LICENSED PATENTS) in this License from time to time so that the amended list of LNLL 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. LLNL Patents will be as follows:
12.1.1.1 Category 1 Patents: XXXX will reimburse TomoTherapy $10,000 for each Category 1 Patent that XXXX and LLNL believe are necessary for the commercialization of Licensed Products and are included in the LNLL Patents. Payment for those Category 1 Patents will be made following the successful completion and testing of the sub-scale prototype.
12.1.1.2 Category 2 Patents: XXXX may be required to pay an additional fee for Category 2 Patents added to this License.
12.1.1.3 Category 3 Patents: XXXX is responsible for prosecution costs of U.S. patents.
12.1.2 As the party solely responsible for the commercialization of the Invention, XXXX 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 LNLL Patent remains on Exhibit A (LICENSED PATENTS) and XXXX maintains its exclusive license.
12.1.3 XXXX may request foreign rights in the LNLL Patents, if such rights are available. XXXX must request such rights in writing, and specify the countries in which it wants rights, within seven (7) 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. LLNS may file patent applications at its own expense in any country in which XXXX has not elected to secure foreign rights, and XXXX has no rights to any such foreign applications and resultant patents, unless such foreign rights are still available and XXXX pays for such rights.
12.1.4 All costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining foreign LNLL Patents and applications covering the Inventions listed in Exhibit A (LICENSED PATENTS) will be borne by XXXX, 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 XXXX. An advance fee (Fee) will be invoiced to XXXX by TomoTherapy for any future foreign filing of LNLL 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 XXXX to XXXX. TomoTherapy shall credit to XXXX any remaining 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. TomoTherapy shall invoice XXXX 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 Agreement, unless such foreign license rights are still available and XXXX pays for such rights. TomoTherapy shall not be liable in any manner for the loss of such foreign license rights arising due to XXXX’x failure to pay such fees on a timely manner. Any overpayments by XXXX for foreign patent filing and maintenance costs shall be credited towards XXXX’x future foreign patent cost obligations.
12.1.5 Notwithstanding any previous payment of fees or election to pursue such rights, XXXX may, at its sole discretion, terminate its license to any foreign LNLL Patents or application(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 XXXX has relinquished rights.
12.2 DWA TomoTherapy Patents
12.2.1 XXXX agrees to reimburse TomoTherapy towards the costs incurred by TomoTherapy in filing, prosecuting and maintaining the DWA TomoTherapy Patents in the United States that are included in the Licensed Patents; provided that, upon written notice from XXXX to TomoTherapy that CAPC is electing not to pay the costs of filing, prosecuting or maintaining any DWA TomoTherapy Patent, such DWA TomoTherapy Patent shall thereafter be excluded from the Licensed Patents licensed to XXXX hereunder. XXXX will pay to TomoTherapy such costs within thirty (30) days of receiving an invoice from TomoTherapy for said costs.
12.2.1.1 TomoTherapy is not obligated to make or maintain any foreign filing of the DWA TomoTherapy Patents. If XXXX wants TomoTherapy to make or maintain such foreign filings, XXXX must, at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the deadline for making such foreign filings, notify XXXX in writing indicating those countries in which XXXX desires TomoTherapy to pursue foreign patent protection. In addition, XXXX must reimburse TomoTherapy towards the costs incurred by TomoTherapy in filing, prosecuting and maintaining the foreign patents. After the issuance of any foreign filed DWA TomoTherapy Patents that XXXX has elected to pursue, XXXX will be billed annually for any applicable annuity payments at the actual rate determined by the applicable country. XXXX will pay to TomoTherapy the invoiced annuity amount within
thirty (30) days of receipt. If XXXX fails to pay such amount by the invoice due date, TomoTherapy will have the right to abandon the foreign filed patent and remove it from the Licensed Patents.
12.2.1.2 TomoTherapy reserves the right to file a patent application, at its own expense, in any countries not requested by XXXX pursuant to this Paragraph 12. Such patent applications and any resulting patents will not be included in the Licensed Patents.
12.2.1.3 TomoTherapy will prosecute all patent applications it files at Licensee’s request pursuant to this Paragraph 12. TomoTherapy will use reasonable efforts to provide to XXXX the right to review and comment on any significant prosecution actions and correspondences received pertaining to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any DWA TomoTherapy Patents in the Licensed Patents. TomoTherapy will use reasonable efforts to promptly forward a copy of such actions and correspondence to XXXX within thirty (30) days of their receipt by TomoTherapy. TomoTherapy shall give good faith consideration to carrying out the instructions, opinions and proposals submitted by XXXX with respect to any prosecution actions if such instructions, opinions and proposals are provided to TomoTherapy. If TomoTherapy decides to abandon prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application under the DWA TomoTherapy Patents in a country in which XXXX has requested TomoTherapy to make and maintain such filing, TomoTherapy shall assign said application to XXXX prior to any such abandonment, and XXXX shall have the right to continue prosecution of said application, at its own expense.
13. PATENT INFRINGEMENT
13.1 LNLL Patents
13.1.1 In the event that either XXXX or TomoTherapy learns of infringement that it believes may have potential commercial significance to any LNLL Patent, the knowledgeable party will provide the other party (i) with written notice of such infringement and (ii) with any evidence of such infringement available to it (the “Infringement Notice”).
13.1.2 TomoTherapy will have the first right, at its option, to undertake and control efforts to obtain a discontinuance of misappropriation or infringement of the LNLL

13.1.3 Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be allocated to cover the litigation costs incurred by XXXX and TomoTherapy and required to be paid under this Agreement. Any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared between XXXX and LLNL as set forth in the Underlying License, replacing XXXX for TomoTherapy; provided that any recoveries (after payment of litigation expenses) retained by XXXX (including any settlement recoveries) shall be treated as revenue from the sale of Licensed Products to which the royalty obligations of XXXX under Paragraph C.2 of Exhibit C hereto shall be applicable.
13.1.4 Any agreement made by XXXX for purposes of settling litigation or other dispute shall comply with the requirements of Article 4 (SUBLICENSING RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS) of this Agreement.
13.2 DWA TomoTherapy Patents
13.2.1 In the event that either XXXX or TomoTherapy learns of infringement that it believes may have potential commercial significance to any DWA TomoTherapy Patent, the knowledgeable party will provide the other party (i) with written notice of such infringement and (ii) with any evidence of such infringement available to it (the “Infringement Notice”).
13.2.2 TomoTherapy will have the first right, at its option, to undertake and control efforts to obtain a discontinuance of misappropriation or infringement of the DWA TomoTherapy Patents, including the bringing of a lawsuit for misappropriation or infringement and to undertake and control efforts to obtain a discontinuance of infringement. In the event TomoTherapy does not desire to exercise such first right, it shall provide notice thereof to XXXX, and will thereafter promptly provide to XXXX the right to control efforts to obtain a discontinuance of misappropriation or infringement of the DWA TomoTherapy Patents. Each party consents to being named a party and joining as a party plaintiff in the action if necessary to obtain an action for the discontinuance of misappropriation or infringement of the DWA TomoTherapy Patents.
13.2.3 If TomoTherapy elects to commence an action for infringement as described above in Paragraph 13.2.2, XXXX shall cooperate fully with TomoTherapy in connection with any such action. Moreover, TomoTherapy shall prosecute such action at its own expense, controlling such action and retaining all recoveries there from. TomoTherapy shall reimburse XXXX for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by XXXX at TomoTherapy’s request as part of XXXX’x full cooperation in connection with an action brought by TomoTherapy against third parties. All other costs and expenses incurred by XXXX in carrying out XXXX’x obligations under this Agreement shall be paid by XXXX, without reimbursement from TomoTherapy.
13.2.4 If XXXX elects to commence an action for infringement as provided above in Paragraph 13.2.2, TomoTherapy shall cooperate fully with XXXX in connection with any such action. Moreover, XXXX shall prosecute such action at its own expense, controlling such action and retaining all recoveries there from; provided that any recoveries (after payment of litigation expenses) retained by XXXX (including any settlement recoveries) shall be treated as revenue from the sale of Licensed Products to which the royalty obligations of XXXX under Paragraph C.2 of Exhibit C hereto shall be applicable. XXXX shall reimburse TomoTherapy for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by TomoTherapy at XXXX’x request as part of TomoTherapy’s full cooperation in connection with an action brought by XXXX against third parties. All other costs and expenses incurred by TomoTherapy in carrying out TomoTherapy’s obligations under this Agreement shall be paid by TomoTherapy, without reimbursement from XXXX.

EXHIBIT B - RIGHTS GRANTED AND PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
B.1 Rights Granted by TomoTherapy (Sublicense under Existing License)
B.1.1 Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, TomoTherapy hereby grants to XXXX an exclusive, nontransferable (other than in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein), worldwide, royalty-bearing, license under its rights in the Underlying License (including, without limitation, the Patent Rights other than the DWA Patents included therein) (a) to make, have made, use, Sell, have sold, offer for Sale, and import or export, subject to compliance with Article 25, LLNL Licensed Products and related Licensed Services in the Current Field of Use; and (b) to practice Licensed Methods (other than those that relate to the DWA Patents) in the Current Field of Use.
B.1.2 “Current Field of Use” means the Particle and Radiotherapy Field of Use.
B.1.2.1 To maintain exclusivity in the Current Field of Use, XXXX 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, in accordance with the terms of TomoTherapy’s corresponding obligations under the Underlying License.
B.2 Rights Granted by TomoTherapy (License under DWA IP).
B.2.1 Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, TomoTherapy hereby grants to XXXX a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-bearing license under the DWA Patents and the DWA Technology Rights owned or controlled by TomoTherapy in the Particle and Radiotherapy Field of Use, including (i) to make, have made, use, Sell, have sold, offer for Sale, and import or export, subject to compliance with Article 25, DWA Licensed Products and related Licensed Services in the Particle and Radiotherapy Field of Use; and (b) to practice Licensed Methods relating to the DWA Patents in the Particle and Radiotherapy Field of Use.
B.2.2 Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, TomoTherapy hereby grants to XXXX a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-bearing, to copy the Copyrighted XXX Xxxxx
owned or controlled by TomoTherapy and make derivative works based on such Copyrighted DWA Works in the Particle and Radiotherapy Field of Use.
B.2.3 Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, TomoTherapy hereby grants to XXXX a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-free license to use in the Particle and Radiotherapy Field of Use the DWA Trade Secrets owned or controlled by TomoTherapy.

B.3 Rights Granted by XXXX (License under DWA IP and Photon Therapy Field).
B.3.1 XXXX hereby grants to TomoTherapy a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license under the DWA Patents, DWA Technology Rights, Copyrighted DWA Works, DWA Trade Secrets, or DWA IP owned or controlled by XXXX in the Particle and Radiotherapy Field of Use. TomoTherapy agrees not to exercise this grant of license unless or until (i) XXXX becomes a debtor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver is appointed for all or a substantial part of its assets; (ii) XXXX liquidates, dissolves or ceases doing business; or (iii) completely ceases all efforts to develop or commercialize any Licensed Products (it being understood that a temporary suspension of such efforts does not constitute a complete cessation of all such efforts). If XXXX decides to abandon prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application under the DWA Patents or DWA Technology Rights owned or controlled by XXXX, XXXX shall assign such patent or patent application to TomoTherapy prior to such abandonment, and TomoTherapy shall have the right to continue prosecution or maintenance of such application or patent, at its own expense.
B.3.2 If XXXX owned or licensed DWA IP or other intellectual property acquired or developed by XXXX between August 4, 2009 and the date on which the Option Period ends, and would be useful for the treatment of tumors or lesions with photons (as reasonably determined by TomoTherapy), XXXX shall exclusively license to TomoTherapy such
DWA IP or other intellectual property for photon radiation therapy use on commercially reasonable terms if TomoTherapy does not otherwise already have the rights to such DWA IP or other intellectual property; provided, however, the obligation to exclusively license DWA IP or other intellectual property that is owned by a third party and licensed to XXXX shall only apply to the extent permitted under the license between XXXX and the party from whom XXXX obtained its rights to such licensed DWA IP or other intellectual property. The exercise by TomoTherapy of its license rights under this Paragraph B.3.2 is subject to TomoTherapy and XXXX entering into a separate agreement that sets forth the commercially reasonable terms applicable to TomoTherapy’s use of such XXXX intellectual property for photon radiation therapy.
