ARTICLE 3 - CONTINGENT PAYMENTS AND REPORTS

3.1 Contingent Payments.

(a) Biovest Gross Revenue. Biovest shall pay to Company, or its assigns, a perpetual contingent payment equal to 2.08% of the Aggregate Biovest Contingent Payment (the “Biovest Contingent Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, no contingent payment right is granted to Company hereunder with regard to any Biovest activity other than the Biovest Biologic Products, and no right, interest, or license to use any Biovest Biologic Product (or other product or intellectual property of Biovest or its Affiliates) is granted under this Agreement whatsoever.

(b) Sublicensee and Transferee Gross Revenue. Biovest shall cause each Sublicensee and Transferee to pay to Company, or its assigns, a perpetual contingent payment equal to 2.08% of the Aggregate Biovest Sublicensee/Transferee Contingent Payment (the “Sublicensee/Transferee Contingent Payment” together with the Biovest Contingent Payment, the “Contingent Payments”). For the avoidance of doubt, no contingent payment right is granted to Company hereunder with regard to any Biovest activity other than the Biovest Biologic Products, and no right, interest, or license to use any Biovest Biologic Product (or other product or intellectual property of Biovest or its Affiliates) is granted under this Agreement whatsoever.

3.2 Term of Contingent Payment Obligations. The Biovest Contingent Payments and the Sublicensee/Transferee Contingent Payments shall continue for so long as Biovest or its Affiliates, Sublicensees or Transferees, as applicable, manufacture, sell, commercialize, or license any Biovest Biologic Product, provided that the Biovest Contingent Payment and the Sublicensee/Transferee Contingent Payment shall terminate as to any Biovest Biologic Product that is the subject of a Full Product Sale as of the effective date of the Full Product Sale, subject to the payment to Company or its assigns of the Biovest Contingent Payment derived from such Full Product Sale, including any Biovest Contingent Payment with respect to any Gross Revenues received by Biovest or any of its Affiliates after the closing of such Full Product Sale.

3.3 Payments of Contingent Payments. Contingent Payments shall be paid no later than sixty (60) days following the end of the calendar quarter during which the applicable Gross Revenues for the Biovest Biologic Products are actually received by Biovest or its Affiliate, Sublicensee or Transferee, as appropriate.

3.4 Place of Payment. All Contingent Payments due shall be payable in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to a bank account designated by Company from time to time. Biovest shall convert all non-U.S. Dollar sales to U.S. Dollars using the average exchange rates quoted in the Wall Street Journal for the final day of each month in the relevant period for which the Contingent Payment is being paid. In the event payment of any Contingent Payment is restricted or prohibited by the laws or regulations of a particular country, then, to the extent of such a restriction or prohibition, Contingent Payments shall be paid to Biovest, any Sublicensee or any Transferee, as applicable, in that country and in the currency of said country into an account to be designated by Biovest, such Sublicensee or such Transferee, as applicable.

3.5 Taxation of Payments.

(a) Insofar as any payment that is due under this Agreement is subject to any tax, duty, levy, or other government imposition, the Party receiving the payment agrees to bear any and all such taxes, duties, levies or impositions. Each Party hereby authorizes the other Party to withhold such taxes, duties, levies or impositions from the payments in accordance with this Agreement if Biovest, any Sublicensee, any Transferee or Company is required to do so under the laws of the United States or any country where such taxes, duties, levies or impositions are payable. Whenever a Party deducts such tax, duty, levy or imposition from any payments due, then it shall furnish the other Party with a certificate showing the payment thereof to the United States or any applicable country.

(b) In the event any payments which are due under this Agreement are subject to value added taxation by any government, then the Party receiving the payment shall bear such value added tax in full and the Party making the payment shall be reimbursed therefor. If appropriate, the Party receiving payment may add such value added taxes to its royalty accounts, provided such value added taxes are credited against the other Party’s value added tax debt and the other Party is reimbursed in full with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Party making the payment shall have no liability for any value added tax directly or indirectly relating thereto.

(c) In the event any payment is subject to a withholding or other income tax in any country, promptly following becoming aware of the applicability of any such tax, the Party making the payment shall so advise the other Party. The Party receiving the payment shall have the right to contest such tax or any such proposed withholding with the appropriate governmental body and the other Party shall provide, at receiving Party’s expense, reasonable cooperation in any such contest. The Parties shall provide each other with such receipts or other evidence of any tax withheld as is necessary to claim any credit or deduction available to it in other jurisdictions. Payments shall only be reduced for withholding taxes imposed by the jurisdiction out of which the payment is directly made.

(d) The Parties hereto agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, this Agreement shall be treated as a contract described under Section 483 of the Internal Revenue Code, and that no U.S. federal income tax shall be withheld from any payment made hereunder, provided that in the case of a payment made to a non-U.S. party, such non-U.S. party shall have furnished to the party making the payment a properly-completed Form W-8BEN.

3.6 Interest. All payments due hereunder that are not paid when due and payable as specified in this Agreement shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate (the “Prime Rate”) for U.S. dollar deposits in effect from time to time, as published daily in the Wall Street Journal plus 5%, compounded monthly from the date due until paid, or at such lower rate of interest as shall then be the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

3.7 Right to Documentation. Upon request, Company shall have the right to request reasonable documentation of Biovest’s calculations to determine Biovest’s Gross Revenue, to request reasonable documentation of any Sublicensee’s or Transferee’s calculations to determine such Sublicensee’s or Transferee’s Gross Revenue, and to request discussion of such calculations with appropriate representatives of Biovest or its Sublicensees or Transferees, as applicable.

3.8 Records Retention.

(a) Biovest shall keep complete and accurate records pertaining to Biovest’s, Sublicensee’s and Transferee’s Gross Revenue for a period of three (3) calendar years after the year in which such revenue was derived, and in sufficient detail to permit Company to confirm the accuracy of the Biovest Contingent Payment and the Sublicensee/Transferee Contingent Payment calculations hereunder. Such records shall be available at all reasonable times for inspection by Company or its representatives for verification of the Biovest Contingent Payment and the Sublicensee/Transferee Contingent Payments or compliance with other aspects of this Agreement.

(b) Biovest shall cause each Sublicensee and Transferee to keep complete and accurate records pertaining to such Sublicensee’s or Transferee’s Gross Revenue for a period of three (3) calendar years after the year in which such revenue was derived, and in sufficient detail to permit Company to confirm the accuracy of the Sublicensee/Transferee Contingent Payments calculations hereunder. Biovest shall cause such records to be available at all reasonable times for inspection by Company or its representatives for verification of the Sublicensee/Transferee Contingent Payments or compliance with other aspects of this Agreement.

3.9 Audit Request. At the request of Company, Biovest and/or its Affiliates shall permit, and Biovest shall cause each of its Sublicensees and Transferees to permit, an independent, certified public accountant appointed by Company and acceptable to

Biovest (or its Affiliates, Sublicensees or Transferees, as applicable), at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to examine those records and all other material documents relating to or relevant to Gross Revenue in the possession or control of Biovest, its Affiliates, Sublicensees or Transferees, for a period of three (3) years after Contingent Payments have accrued, as may be necessary to: (i) determine the correctness of any report or payment made under this Agreement; or (ii) obtain information as to the Contingent Payments payable for any calendar quarter in the case of Biovest’s, its Affiliate’s or its Sublicensee’s or Transferee’s failure to report or pay pursuant to this Agreement. Said accountant shall not disclose to Company any information other than information relating to said reports and Contingent Payments. Results of any such examination shall be made available to the Company and Biovest and any Sublicensee or Transferee, as applicable. Company shall bear the full cost of the performance of any such audit, unless such audit demonstrates underpayment of Contingent Payments by Biovest or its Sublicensee or Transferee of more than ten percent (10%) from the amount of the original Contingent Payment made by Biovest or its Sublicensee or Transferee, as applicable. In such event, Biovest or its Sublicensee or Transferee, as applicable, shall bear the full cost of the performance of such audit.

3.10 No Double Contingent Payments. In order to prevent the application of a double Contingent Payment hereunder, no Contingent Payment will be payable on sales of Biovest Biologic Products by Biovest or any of its Affiliates (a “Biovest Party”) to another Biovest Party.

7.11 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Senior Officials. The Parties recognize that a bona fide dispute as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term of this Agreement which relates to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. In the event of the occurrence of such a dispute, either Party may, by notice to the other Party, have such dispute referred to their respective senior officials designated below or their successors,

for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days after such notice is received. Said designated senior officials are as follows:

For Company: Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Senior Managing Director

In the event the designated senior officials are not able to resolve such dispute within the thirty (30) day period, either Party may invoke the provisions of Section 7.11(b).

(b) Arbitration. In the event of any dispute, difference or question arising between the Parties in connection with this Agreement, the construction thereof, or the rights, duties or liabilities of either Party, and which dispute cannot be amicably resolved by the good faith efforts of both Parties, then such dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration panel shall be composed of three arbitrators, one of whom shall be chosen by Biovest, one by Company, and the third by the two so chosen.

The decision of the arbitrators shall be by majority vote and, at the request of either Party, the arbitrators shall issue a written opinion of findings of fact and conclusions of law. Costs shall be borne as determined by the arbitrators. Unless the Parties to the arbitration shall otherwise agree to a place of arbitration, the place of arbitration shall be at New York, New York, U.S.A.
