sales occurring or under Sublicense granted pursuant to this Agreement in any
country outside the United States shall not be reduced by LICENSEE for any
taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the government of such country on the
payment of royalty income, except that all payments made by LICENSEE in
fulfillment of UNIVERSITY's tax liability in any particular country may be
credited against earned royalties or fees due UNIVERSITY for that country.
LICENSEE shall pay all bank charges resulting from the transfer of such royalty
payments.
12
(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
UNIVERSITY into US currency and shall pay UNIVERSITY 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, or that are based on the use of Technology.
(c) Late
Payments. In the event royalty, reimbursement and/or fee payments are
not received by UNIVERSITY when due, LICENSEE shall pay to UNIVERSITY interest
charges at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year. Such interest shall be
calculated from the date payment was due until actually received by
UNIVERSITY.
ARTICLE
5. PATENT MATTERS
5.1 Patent Prosecution and
Maintenance.
(a) Provided that LICENSEE
has reimbursed UNIVERSITY for Patent Costs pursuant to Paragraph 3.2, UNIVERSITY
shall diligently prosecute and maintain the United States and, if
available, foreign patents, and applications in Patent Rights using
counsel of its choice. UNIVERSITY 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
UNIVERSITY, and all patents and patent applications in Patent Rights shall be
assigned solely to UNIVERSITY.
(b)
UNIVERSITY shall consider amending any patent application in Patent Rights to
include claims reasonably requested by LICENSEE to protect the products
contemplated to be sold 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 three (3) months' written notice to
UNIVERSITY. UNIVERSITY shall use reasonable efforts to curtail further Patent
Costs for such application or patent when such notice of termination is received
from LICENSEE. UNIVERSITY, 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
UNIVERSITY as an election by LICENSEE to terminate its reimbursement obligations
with respect to such application or patent. The University is not obligated to
file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights where LICENSEE is not paying Patent
Costs at any time or to file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights to
which Licensee has terminated its License hereunder.
13
(d) LICENSEE
shall apply for an extension of the term of any patent in Patent Rights if
appropriate under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of
1984 and/or European, Japanese and other foreign counterparts of this law.
LICENSEE shall prepare all documents for such application, and UNIVERSITY shall
execute such documents and to take any other additional action as LICENSEE
reasonably requests in connection therewith.
5.2 Patent
Infringement.
(a) In
the event that UNIVERSITY (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 UNIVERSITY 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.
UNIVERSITY shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately without
the obligation to provide 60 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 UNIVERSITY. Both UNIVERSITY and
LICENSEE will use their diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to
terminate such infringement without litigation.
(b) If
infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has
not been abated within ninety (90) days following the date the Infringement
Notice takes effect, LICENSEE may institute suit for patent infringement against
the infringer. UNIVERSITY 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 UNIVERSITY in a suit initiated by LICENSEE
without UNIVERSITY’S prior written consent. If, in a suit initiated by LICENSEE,
UNIVERSITY is involuntarily joined other than by LICENSEE, LICENSEE will pay any
costs incurred by UNIVERSITY arising out of such suit, including but not limited
to, any legal fees of counsel that UNIVERSITY selects and retains to represent
it in the suit.
(c) If,
within a hundred and twenty (120) 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, UNIVERSITY may institute suit for patent infringement against the
infringer. If UNIVERSITY institutes such suit, LICENSEE may not join such suit
without UNIVERSITY’S consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the
infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of UNIVERSITY’S suit
or any judgment rendered in that suit.
14
(d) Any
recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be shared
by UNIVERSITY and LICENSEE equally to cover the litigation costs each incurred,
and next shall be paid to UNIVERSITY or LICENSEE to cover any litigation costs
it incurred in excess of the litigation costs of the other. In any suit
initiated by LICENSEE, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared
between LICENSEE and UNIVERSITY as follows: (i) for any recovery
other than amounts paid for willful infringement: (A) UNIVERSITY will
receive fifteen percent (15%) of the recovery if UNIVERSITY was not a party in
the litigation and did not incur any litigation costs; (B) UNIVERSITY will
receive twenty-five percent (25%) of the recovery if UNIVERSITY was a party in
the litigation, but did not incur any litigation costs, including the provisions
of Paragraph 5.2(b) above, or (C) UNIVERSITY will receive fifty percent (50%) of
the recovery if UNIVERSITY incurred any litigation costs in connection with the
litigation; and (ii) for any recovery for willful infringement,
UNIVERSITY will receive fifty percent (50%) of the recovery. In any suit
initiated by UNIVERSITY, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will belong
to UNIVERSITY. UNIVERSITY 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 UNIVERSITY may be represented by counsel of its choice in any suit
brought.
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.
ARTICLE
6. GOVERNMENTAL MATTERS
6.1 Governmental Approval or
Registration. If this Agreement or any associated transaction
is required by the law of any nation to be either approved or registered with
any governmental agency, LICENSEE shall assume all legal obligations to do so.
LICENSEE shall notify UNIVERSITY if it becomes aware that this Agreement is
subject to a United States or foreign government reporting or approval
requirement. LICENSEE shall make all necessary filings and pay all costs
including fees, penalties, and all other out-of-pocket costs associated with

15
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

Default, UNIVERSITY may terminate this Agreement and the license granted herein
by a second written notice ("Notice of Termination") to LICENSEE. 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 UNIVERSITY.
(b) This
Agreement will terminate immediately, without the obligation to provide ninety
(90) days notice as set forth in Paragraph 7.1(a), if LICENSEE files a claim
including in any way the assertion that any portion of UNIVERSITY'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.
7.2 Termination by
LICENSEE.
(a) LICENSEE shall have the

UNIVERSITY. Said notice shall state LICENSEE’s reason for terminating this
Agreement.
(b) Any termination under
Paragraph 7.2(a) shall not relieve LICENSEE of any obligation or liability
accrued under this Agreement prior to termination or rescind any payment made to
UNIVERSITY or action by LICENSEE prior to the time termination becomes
effective. Termination shall not affect in any manner any rights of UNIVERSITY
