ARTICLE 4

Royalties and Other License Consideration

4.1 In consideration of the rights, privileges and license granted by University hereunder, Licensee shall pay royalties and other monetary consideration as follows:

(a) Initial license fee, nonrefundable and noncreditable against royalties, of [***] due immediately upon execution of this Agreement;

***	Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

-5-

(b) Annual maintenance fee, non-refundable and non-creditable against royalties of [***] due on each yearly anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement;

(c) Royalties in an amount equal to either (i) [***] of Net Sales for Licensed Technology in the Cancer Diagnostics Field; or (ii) [***] of Net Sales for Licensed Technology in the Drug Development Field; and

(d) Beginning with the first commercial sale of a product using the Licensed Technology, a minimum royalty in the amount of [***] per calendar year, but only to the extent such minimum royalty is greater than the aggregate annual royalty computed in accordance with Section 4.1(c), (annually) calculated initially on the first anniversary of the execution of this Agreement for the previous twelve (12) month period.

In the event that Licensed Technology is sold or sublicensed as a combination product with other products and services of Licensee (a “Combination Product”), the Net Sales for purposes of royalty payments on the Combination Product shall be determined by multiplying the total Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where “A” is the average Net Sales of the product or service covered by a Licensed Technology when sold separately in finished form in such country during the applicable calendar quarter; and “B” is the net sales of the other product(s) or service(s) making up the Combination Product when sold separately during the calendar quarter. In the event that such average invoice price cannot be determined for both the Licensed Technology and the other products and services, the Parties will negotiate in good faith regarding the calculation of Net Sales, as applicable, for the applicable Licensed Technology, based on the relative value contributed by each product and/or service.

4.2 Royalty payments, pursuant to Section 4.1(c) above, shall be paid to University in United States dollars and directed to the address set forth in Section 12 hereof within forty-five (45) days after each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The minimum royalty, pursuant to Section 4.1(d) above, if any, shall be paid to University within forty-

***	Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

-6-

five (45) days of the anniversary date of this Agreement each year during the pendency of this Agreement. Licensee’s royalty payment obligations shall continue on a Licensed Technology-by-Licensed Technology basis and a country-by-country basis until the expiration of the last-to-expire issued claim of the Patent Rights that, but for the licenses granted in this Agreement, would be infringed by the sale of such Licensed Technology in such country.

4.3 Payments pursuant to this Agreement which are overdue shall bear interest calculated from the due date until payment is received at the higher of: (a) the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum; or (b) “prime” plus two percent (2%). Interest shall be compounded annually, and the “prime” rate used to calculate interest shall be the rate published in the “Wall Street Journal” on the first business day of each year for which such payments are due.

4.4 Licensee shall sell Licensed Technology to University and its Affiliates upon request at such price(s) and on such terms and conditions as such products and/or processes are made available to Licensee’s similarly situated most favored customer.

ARTICLE 5

Reports

5.1 Within forty-five (45) days after each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall deliver to University true, accurate and detailed reports of the following information in a form acceptable to University:

(a) Number of Licensed Technology products manufactured and sold by Licensee;

(b) Total xxxxxxxx for all such products;

(d) Deductions set forth in Section 1.8; and

(e) Total royalties due.

-7-

5.2 If no royalties shall be due hereunder, Licensee shall so advise University in writing within thirty (30) days after the end of any calendar quarter for which no royalties are due.

Such books of account shall be kept at Licensee’s principal place of business. Such books and the supporting data related thereto shall be open at all reasonable times for three (3) years following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain to the inspection of University or its agents for the purpose of verifying Licensee’s royalty statement or compliance in other respects with this Agreement. The fees and expenses of University’s representatives shall be borne by University, however, if an error of more than five percent (5%) of the total payments due or owing for any year is discovered, then Licensee shall bear the fees and expenses of University’s representatives.

5.4 Any reports provided by Licensee pursuant to this Article 5 will be held in strict confidence by the University and not disclosed to any third party and the University will use such reports only for the purpose of this Agreement. Each party shall treat as confidential and not disclose the terms of this Agreement or information related thereto, except to the extent such information is required to be disclosed by any applicable laws or regulations, including the rules of any applicable security exchange; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall provide such other party with notice of such disclosure in advance thereof to the extent practicable.

ARTICLE 6

Patent Prosecution and Infringement Actions

6.1 University has or may apply for, seek prompt issuance of and shall use reasonable efforts to maintain during the term of this Agreement, the Patent Rights. In the event University desires to cease paying maintenance fees for, or otherwise abandons, any of the Patent Rights in any country, University shall provide Licensee with written notice thereof, which notice shall be provided to Licensee at least thirty (30) days before the

-8-

maintenance fees in question are due. In such event, Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay any such maintenance fees on behalf of University.

6.2 Licensee shall inform University promptly in writing of any alleged infringement of the Patent Rights by a third party and of any available evidence thereof.

6.3 In any infringement suit University may institute to enforce the Patent Rights pursuant to this Agreement, Licensee shall, at the request of University, cooperate in all respects and, to the extent possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like.

6.4 Licensee shall be responsible for no greater than Fifty Percent (50.0%) of all fees and costs, including attorneys’ fees, relating to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights incurred prior to or after the Effective Date and not otherwise reimbursed by a third party to University. Additionally, Licensee shall be liable for no greater than Fifty Percent (50.0%) of University’s out-of-pocket filing, prosecution, and maintenance costs (including all attorneys’ fees and costs), for any and all patent prosecution and maintenance actions that will be taken by patent counsel after the term of this Agreement but in response to any instructions that were sent during the term of this Agreement from University to patent counsel relating to the Patent Rights. Fees and costs incurred after the Effective Date shall be paid by Licensee within forty-five (45) days after receipt of University’s invoice therefore. Payments pursuant to this Section 6.4 are not creditable against royalties.

6.5 If University enters into another Non-Exclusive License Agreement for the Patent Rights with any third party (“Other Licensee”), Licensee’s obligation to reimburse University under Section 6.4 shall be reduced such that Licensee and such Other Licensee(s) shall pay a pro-rata share of all future patent costs incurred after the execution of said agreement. The pro-rata share shall be equal to the total future patent costs incurred divided by the number of licensees for the Patent Rights at the time such costs are incurred.

-9-

6.6 Notwithstanding the obligations set forth in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 above, in no event shall Licensee be required to reimburse patent costs incurred by the University in excess of Twelve Thousand Dollars ($12,000) per calendar year.

Such certificates shall provide that the insurer will give University not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice of any material changes in or cancellation of coverage.

7.3 The University represents to Licensee that: (a) it is the joint owner with Carnegie Mellon University by assignment from the inventors of the Patent Rights; (b) it has the right and authority to grant the licenses in this Agreement under such Patent Rights; (c) as of the Effective Date of this License Agreement, the University’s Office of Technology Management has not been served with a complaint alleging infringement of a third party’s patent rights arising from the University’s use or practice of the Patent Rights; and (d) it has complied with all obligations to elect rights in the Patent Rights from the United States government, if any, as set forth in 35 U.S.C. §200, et seq. or comparable state law.
