4.5 [***]

Article 5 Payment Terms; Audit Rights

5.1 Payments.  All amounts due to Universal Display hereunder shall be paid in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to a bank designated by Universal Display in writing, or by such other means as the parties may agree in writing.  Universal Display’s current wire instructions are as follows:

[***]

Each payment is fully earned and shall be nonrefundable once made.  Subject to Section 5.2, all payments due hereunder shall be made without set-off, deduction or credit for any amount owed (or alleged to be owed) by Universal Display to SDC or any of its Affiliates.  Universal Display may require SDC to pay interest on any late payments (i.e., the payment remaining unpaid past the applicable due date as provided in Exhibit A hereto) at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the due date of payment plus [***] percent [***].

5.2 Payment Authorization and Withholding Taxes.  SDC shall secure all authorizations required for payment of all amounts due to Universal Display hereunder. The parties shall cooperate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain an exemption from the Korean government that would eliminate the requirement for SDC to withhold taxes from any amounts payable to Universal Display hereunder.  If, however, the Korean government requires that income taxes on the payments by SDC under this Agreement be withheld and remitted directly to such tax authority on behalf of Universal Display, Universal Display authorizes SDC to do so.  Promptly upon making each such tax payment, SDC shall obtain and forward to Universal Display the official tax receipt(s) issued by the Korean government to support Universal Display’s claim to applicable tax credits.

5.3 Payment Restriction.  All license fees shall be paid to Universal Display without deduction of currency exchange fees or other similar fees.  If at any time the legal restrictions of a country outside of the United States prevent SDC from paying Universal Display any amounts due hereunder, Universal Display may direct SDC to make such payment to Universal Display’s account in a bank or other depository of such country.

8.1 Term.  Unless otherwise extended by mutual written agreement of the parties, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until December 31, 2022, or through the date on which this Agreement is terminated as permitted hereunder, whichever occurs sooner.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the parties, all licenses granted under this Agreement shall expire immediately at the end of the Term.

9.2 Force Majeure.  Neither party shall be in breach of this Agreement for any failure of performance (other than a failure to pay amounts due and owing hereunder) caused by an event beyond its reasonable control and not due to its or its Affiliates’ fault or negligence.  In the event that such a force majeure event occurs, the party unable to perform shall promptly notify in writing the other party of such non-performance and its expected duration.  In addition, such party shall in good faith maintain such partial performance of this Agreement as is reasonably practicable, shall use all reasonable efforts to overcome the cause of nonperformance by immediately taking reasonable steps to limit or minimize the consequences of such force majeure and shall resume full performance as soon as is reasonably practicable.  The end of the force majeure shall also be reported in writing.

9.3 Non-Assignment.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall not be assigned or transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign or transfer this Agreement, in its entirety, to a successor in interest to all or substantially all of such party’s business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, acquisition or otherwise.  Either party may assign or transfer this Agreement, in its entirety, to a wholly owned Affiliate thereof, subject to the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, SDC may not assign or transfer this Agreement to a third party with whom Universal Display is then-engaged in litigation or other formal adversarial or dispute resolution proceedings respecting the Universal Display Patents.  Should SDC assign or transfer this Agreement, whether by merger, acquisition or otherwise, to a third party with an existing OLED display business, or should SDC acquire the existing OLED display business of any third party, the license rights granted to SDC under this Agreement shall not extend to any current or future products of such third party’s OLED display business unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Universal Display in writing.  Moreover, should Universal Display have already entered into a similar license agreement with the third party at the time of such assignment, transfer or acquisition, there shall be no reduction of the payment or other obligations of SDC under this Agreement as they pertain to products of SDC’s OLED display business, or of such third party under its similar license agreement as they pertain to products of the third party’s OLED display business, unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Universal Display in writing.  Nothing herein shall confer any rights upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.4 Non-Use of Certain Names.  SDC shall not use the names of Princeton University, USC or Michigan in connection with any products, promotion or advertising without the prior consent of Princeton University, USC or Michigan, as applicable, except to the extent reasonably required by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, SDC may state that its license rights hereunder are derivative of rights granted by Princeton University, USC and Michigan to Universal Display under the license agreement between them.

9.5 Equitable Relief.  In the event of a party’s actual or reasonably anticipated infringement of the other party’s patents, unauthorized use of the other party’s proprietary materials or information; or breach of the provisions of Article 6 respecting the other party’s

Confidential Information, such other party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief restraining such activity without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.  Such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies that may be available to the other party, at law or equity, including, without limitation, an action for the recovery of damages.

9.6 Choice of Law; Dispute Resolution.  This Agreement and the relationship of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted and governed in accordance with the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to any principles respecting conflicts of law.  The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.
