IPLLC shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Net Proceeds Percentage of all Net Proceeds, payable out of all Net Proceeds received or entitled to be received by or transferred, paid or inuring to Patent Owner, from whatever source (“IPLLC Proceeds Payments”), and all IPLLC Proceeds Payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied against and reduce the then outstanding Total Monetization Proceeds Obligation on a dollar for dollar basis, if any, as of the date of any such IPLLC Proceeds Payment.

3.3 Disbursement of Net Proceeds. Patent Owner shall calculate and provide a written report to IPLLC (as set forth in Section 3.5 below) of the amount of Net Proceeds due to Patent Owner and IPLLC at the same time any disbursement notice documentation is provided to attorneys, law firms, QFL, litigation funding sources, patent sellers/prior owners, licensing professionals/consultants or other Persons entitled to payment upon receipt of Gross Monetization Proceeds and then shall pay or cause IPLLC to be paid the IPLLC Proceeds Payment pursuant to this Section 3.3 at the same time as the Patent Owner receives any Net Proceeds.

3.4 Acceleration; Guarantee. All outstanding IPLLC Proceeds Payments under this Agreement shall become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, in addition to any other remedies IPLLC may have at law or in equity. In the event any Gross Monetization Proceeds are received by an Affiliate or Affiliates of Patent Owner, Patent Owner and each such Affiliate will be jointly and severally responsible for the payment and reporting to IPLLC of the IPLLC Proceeds Payments owed pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt and subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(c) below, no Affiliate of Patent Owner makes any guarantee of Patent Owner’s payment obligations under this Agreement.

3.5 Reporting. All reports shall be in the English Language and in sufficient detail such that IPLLC can reasonably verify the IPLLC Proceeds Payments due to IPLLC. Each report shall be certified in advance by an officer of Patent Owner or by a designee of such officer to be correct to the best knowledge and information of Patent Owner.

3.6 Access; Audit. Patent Owner and each of its Affiliates that receive any Gross Monetization Proceeds shall keep and maintain true and complete books and records pertaining to monetization of the Patents in sufficient detail to enable the amounts payable to IPLLC to be accurately determined. In addition, without limiting any access or audit rights of IPLLC provided for in the Restructure Agreement, no more than once each year and upon at least five (5) business days prior written notice to Patent Owner, Patent Owner shall make such books and records related to this Agreement available at reasonable times during regular business hours for inspection and copying by IPLLC, or their designated representatives, and supply IPLLC with the details and supporting data necessary to verify the reports and payments required by this Agreement. Patent Owner and such Affiliates shall maintain such books and records related to this Agreement for at least five (5) years after the end of the calendar year to which they pertain. In the event any such inspection shows an underpayment of IPLLC Proceeds Payments by Patent Owner or one of its Affiliates for any calendar-quarter period, Patent Owner shall promptly pay to IPLLC any such amounts plus a Late Payment Charge, as defined in the Restructure Agreement. Furthermore, if such underpayment is more than the greater of (A) 5% of the total IPLLC Proceeds Payments due for the period audited or (B) $10,000, or if the audit shows that any under-reporting was willful, Patent Owner or such Affiliates shall reimburse IPLLC for the cost of the inspection within thirty (30) days after any such finding of underpayment.

3.7 Security. Patent Owner’s obligation to pay the IPLLC Proceeds Payments shall be secured under the terms of the Patent Proceeds Security Agreement, and if requested by the Patent Owner, IPLLC agrees to execute a subordination agreement with respect to the security interest created thereby with any Senior Lien holder, in form reasonably acceptable to IPLLC and the Senior Lien holder.
