NON-EXCLUSIVE PATENT LICENSE

Exhibit 99.2

THIS NON-EXCLUSIVE PATENT LICENSE (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 2, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), and shall be treated as in full force and effect as of April 1, 2006, by and between Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with offices at 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“Palomar”), and Cutera, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“Cutera”) (Palomar on the one hand, and Cutera together with all Cutera Affiliates (as defined below) on the other hand, each a “Party”, and together, the “Parties”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Palomar and Cutera (as successor in interest to the rights and obligations of Altus Medical, Inc.) are parties to certain patent-related Lawsuits (as defined in the Settlement Agreement (as defined below));

WHEREAS, Palomar and MGH (as defined below), on the one hand, and Cutera, on the other hand, have agreed to enter into that certain Settlement Agreement, to be executed contemporaneously with this Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which Palomar and MGH, on the one hand, and Cutera, on the other hand, will settle the Lawsuits among other things;

WHEREAS, Palomar has a license from MGH under the Xxxxxxxx Patents (both as defined below) relating to the use of light to remove hair; and

WHEREAS, as part of this Agreement, Palomar has agreed to grant to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates (as defined below) a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing sublicense under the Xxxxxxxx Patents to develop and commercialize products sold by Cutera and Cutera Affiliates under the following terms and conditions.

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. The following terms (and their correlatives), in addition to terms defined on first use herein, shall have the meanings set forth below:

1.1. Affiliates.

(a) “Palomar Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Palomar (i) as of the Effective Date or (ii) after the Effective Date, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) only for so long as such person or entity satisfies the foregoing requirements.

(b) “Cutera Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Cutera (i) as of the Effective Date or (ii) after the Effective Date provided such person or entity is not an Excluded Third Party at the time such person or entity first meets the foregoing control requirements (unless Palomar provides its written consent in its sole discretion), in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), only for so long as such person or entity satisfies the foregoing control

requirements. For clarity, (1) Exhibit A lists Cutera Affiliates as of the Effective Date, and (2) any Third Party that does not become a “Cutera Affiliate” hereunder because of the reference to “Excluded Third Party” in clause (ii) above shall continue to be treated as a “Third Party” for all purposes hereunder.

(c) “MGH Affiliates” shall mean any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by MGH, in each case only for so long as such person or entity satisfies the foregoing requirements.

(d) “Affiliates” shall mean, with respect to any Third Party, any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Third Party, in each case only for so long as such person or entity satisfies the foregoing requirement.

For purposes of this Section 1.1 and Section 5.6(e)(i), “control” and, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with” shall mean (i) the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the management or policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract relating to voting rights or corporate governance, or otherwise, or (ii) the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities or other ownership interest of an entity (or, with respect to a limited partnership or other similar entity, its general partner or controlling entity); provided, that if local law restricts foreign ownership, “control” shall be deemed established by direct or indirect ownership of the maximum ownership percentage that may, under such local law, be owned by foreign interests.

1.2. “Xxxxxxxx Patents” shall mean (i) the Patents set forth on Exhibit B, and (ii) all other Patents that claim the right of priority to, from or through, or enjoy the benefit of an earlier filing date of, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, one or more of the Patents identified in the immediately preceding clause (i). The “Other Xxxxxxxx Patents” shall be the following subset of Xxxxxxxx Patents: U.S. Patent No. 5,824,023 and all other Patents that claim the right of priority to, from or through, or enjoy the benefit of an earlier filing date of, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly U.S. Patent No. 5,824,023.

1.3. “Consumer Field” shall mean the field in which products or systems are intended for or marketed to consumers for personal use. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Consumer Field” shall exclude products or systems in the Professional Field.

1.4. “Cutera Modules” shall mean Cutera Hair Modules and Cutera Other Modules, each as defined below:

(a) “Cutera Hair Module” shall mean any energy source module, Sold by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, that is marketed as being capable of using or uses or is incorporated into a product or system that uses optical radiation to remove hair. For clarity and without limitation, if in addition to using optical radiation to remove hair, a Cutera Hair Module may be used for aesthetic treatments (including treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions, acne, fat, cellulite, wrinkles, scars and tattoos, skin tightening, and for other dermatological applications), or other treatment or cosmetic purpose(s), it shall in all events remain a “Cutera Hair Module” hereunder.

By way of example and without limitation, the CoolGlide Xeo, CoolGlide Excel, CoolGlide Vantage and CoolGlide CV Systems when sold with either a CV Nd:YAG handpiece or an Excel Nd:YAG handpiece by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates comprise “Cutera Hair Modules” hereunder. By way of further example and without limitation, the PW770 handpiece when sold with the Solara Opus System or the CoolGlide Xeo System comprises a “Cutera Hair Module” hereunder.

(b) “Cutera Other Module” shall mean any energy source module, Sold by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, that is marketed as being capable of using or uses or is incorporated into a product or system that uses optical radiation for aesthetic treatments (including treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions, acne, fat, cellulite, wrinkles, scars and tattoos, skin tightening, and for other dermatological applications) or other treatment or cosmetic purposes, other than hair removal; in all events, other than a Cutera Hair Module. By way of example and without limitation, the following products in the form they are Sold by Cutera as of the Effective Date are “Cutera Other Modules” for purposes of this Agreement: the Titan, OPS600, LP560, or Acutip handpieces.

1.5. “Cutera Products” shall mean Cutera Hair Products and Cutera Combination Products, each as defined below. “Cutera Other Product” shall mean any product, system, component or accessory, Sold by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, that (i) is not a Cutera Product, and (ii) that is marketed as being capable of using or uses or is incorporated into a product or system that uses one or more Cutera Other Modules. As of the Effective Date, the only “Cutera Other Product” is the Solera Titan System, which is not sold for use with a PW770 handpiece.

(a) “Cutera Combination Product” shall mean any product, system, component or accessory, Sold by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, (i) that as of the date of its Sale, is marketed as being capable of using both at least one Cutera Other Module and one Cutera Hair Module, and (ii) the manufacture, use, sale, offering for sale, or importation of which when sold with a Cutera Hair Module, absent the sublicense granted by Palomar herein, would infringe a Valid Claim of the Xxxxxxxx Patents. For clarity and without limitation, Exhibit C lists Cutera Combination Products in existence up to the Effective Date, examples of when a Cutera Other Product or a Cutera Hair Product shall become a “Cutera Combination Product” hereunder, and an example of a marketing technique which does not change a Cutera Hair Product into a “Cutera Combination Product” hereunder.

(b) “Cutera Hair Product” shall mean any product, system, component or accessory, Sold by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, (i) that contains a Cutera Hair Module, (ii) the manufacture, use, sale, offering for sale, or importation of which, absent the sublicense granted by Palomar herein, would infringe a Valid Claim of the Xxxxxxxx Patents, and (iii) that as of its date of Sale, is not marketed for use in combination with a Cutera Other Module. For clarity and without limitation, Exhibit D provides additional clarifications and lists items that are Cutera Hair Products in existence up to the Effective Date.

1.6. “Cutera Sublicensee” shall mean any Third Party to which Cutera or a Cutera Affiliate grants a permitted sublicense pursuant to Section 2.2 under the sublicense grant from Palomar in Section 2.1.

1.7. “Excluded Third Party” shall mean any Third Party and its Affiliates against which:

(a) any suit or action involving any Xxxxxxxx Patent has been instituted between Palomar or any Palomar Affiliates and such Third Party or any of its Affiliates, other than any such Third Party for which Cutera can demonstrate by competent written evidence that Cutera and such Third Party had conducted substantial negotiations in good faith (such as evidenced by an executed letter of intent or memorandum of understanding) concerning an otherwise prohibited transaction (e.g., an Assignment pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or any Acquisition covered by Section 2.2(e)(i) (including any that would cause such Third Party to become a “Cutera Affiliate” hereunder as defined in Section 1.1(b) save for the “Excluded Third Party” restriction therein), or a sublicense pursuant to Section 2.2(a)) before the date that any such suit or action was first filed; or

(b) Palomar or any of Palomar Affiliates has an outstanding injunction pertaining to infringement of the Xxxxxxxx Patents.

1.8. “Xxxxxxxx” shall mean Xxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, and its successors and permitted assigns of the Xxxxxxxx Agreement.

1.9. “Xxxxxxxx Agreement” shall mean that certain “Development and License Agreement” between Palomar and Xxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx dated as of February 14, 2003, as such agreement is amended as of the Effective Date and as such agreement may be amended or restated thereafter, provided that any such amendment or restatement that limits or restricts Cutera’s or Cutera Affiliates’ rights under this Agreement, or imposes any obligations on Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, other than as specified hereunder (each a “Restrictive Xxxxxxxx Amendment”), shall not be binding on Cutera or Cutera Affiliates. In the event that there is any Restrictive Xxxxxxxx Amendment, only those terms set forth in the unamended/unrestated version of the Xxxxxxxx Agreement shall apply to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates, and Palomar (and not Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates) shall be responsible to Xxxxxxxx for any liability arising out of any Restrictive Xxxxxxxx Amendment. A copy of the Xxxxxxxx Agreement, excluding exhibits thereto and redactions of other commercially sensitive information, as amended as of the Effective Date is attached hereto at Appendix A.

1.10. “Licensed Products” shall mean Cutera Products (including those Cutera Hair Modules that alone amount to a “Cutera Product” hereunder). For clarity, Licensed Products may include future energy source modules, products, systems, components or accessories Sold by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates after the Effective Date, as long as such energy source module, product, system, component and accessory satisfies in full the definitional requirements for a “Licensed Product” (and its subsidiary definitions) hereunder.

1.11. “Litigation Filings” shall mean the two Consent Judgments and the two Stipulations of Dismissal identified in, and forms for which are attached to, the Settlement Agreement.

1.12. “MGH” shall mean The General Hospital Corporation in Boston, Massachusetts.

1.13. “MGH Agreement” shall mean that certain “License Agreement” between Palomar and MGH dated as of August 18, 1995, as such agreement is amended as of the Effective Date and as such agreement may be amended or restated thereafter, provided that any such

amendment or restatement that limits or restricts Cutera’s or Cutera Affiliates’ rights under this Agreement, or imposes any obligations on Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, other than as specified hereunder (each a “Restrictive MGH Amendment”), shall not be binding on Cutera or Cutera Affiliates. In the event that there is any Restrictive MGH Amendment, only those terms set forth in the unamended/unrestated version of the MGH Agreement shall apply to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates, and Palomar (and not Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates) shall be responsible (including to MGH) for any liability arising out of any Restrictive MGH Amendment. A copy of the MGH Agreement, as redacted, as amended as of the Effective Date is attached hereto at Appendix B.

1.14. “Net Sales” shall mean all amounts invoiced by Cutera and Cutera Affiliates, for the Sale to Third Parties of Licensed Products (collectively, the “Actual Amounts”), less: (i) allowances and adjustments actually credited to customers for damaged or returned product (which allowances and adjustments may be taken only on a product-by-product basis, that is an allowance or adjustment on one product, for example, a CoolGlide Vantage System, shall not be taken against Sales of another type of product, for example, a CoolGlide CV System); (ii) promotional, trade, quantity, cash and prompt payment discounts separately identified on the invoice and actually allowed and taken; and (iii) Third Party charges of the following kinds collected by the seller from the buyer and separately identified on the invoice: transportation charges, insurance charges for transportation, sales taxes, excise taxes and customs duties, and governmental charges levied on or measured by the sale; provided that: (1) no deductions shall be made from Actual Amounts for any royalties owed or paid to any person or entity; and (2) Net Sales shall include upgrades or additions to, or partial replacements for, Licensed Products, where upgrades include but are not limited to swapping a new Licensed Product for a buyer’s existing product.

For clarity and without limitation, this definition of Net Sales includes Cutera Combination Products which do not include a Cutera Hair Module for which no royalties are due Palomar hereunder for their Sale. However, as provided in Section 4.4, subsequent Sales of Cutera Hair Modules for use with such Cutera Combination Products shall affect royalties owed to Palomar. Thus, it shall be necessary to determine and keep records of the Net Sales attributable to all such Licensed Products. As a consequence, inclusion of a Licensed Product in this definition of Net Sales, by itself, shall not indicate that royalties are necessarily due Palomar hereunder on the Sale of such Licensed Product.

The following paragraphs provide additional non-limiting examples for calculating Net Sales hereunder:

•

Trade-in of a first Cutera Product (such as a CoolGlide CV System) in connection with the Sale of a second Cutera Product (such as a CoolGlide Vantage System) shall be treated as follows: (i) the Net Sales attributed to the Sale of such second Cutera Product (a) shall not include any deduction or other reduction for the trade-in given by Cutera for such first Cutera Product, unless Cutera paid royalties to Palomar hereunder upon the Sale of such first Cutera Product (e.g., there shall be no such deduction or other reduction when such first Cutera Product is a Cutera Other Product), and (b) shall be calculated as set forth in this definition, and such Sale of such second Cutera Product shall be subject to the royalty

obligations set forth in Section 4.4, and (ii) the Net Sales attributable to any re-Sale of such first Cutera Product shall be calculated as set forth in this definition, and such re-Sale of such first Cutera Product shall be subject to the royalty obligations set forth in Section 4.4. For example, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a customer purchases from Cutera a CoolGlide CV System for $60,000, then under Section 4.4, Cutera is obligated to pay Palomar a royalty of $4,500 on such Sale of the CoolGlide CV System (7.5% of $60,000). If that customer then purchases from Cutera a CoolGlide Vantage System for $120,000 and is provided a credit of $20,000 in connection with a trade-in of such CoolGlide CV System that such customer previously purchased (thus paying Cutera $100,000), then under Section 4.4, Cutera is obligated to pay Palomar a royalty of $7,500 on such Sale of the CoolGlide Vantage System (7.5% of $100,000) and no amount shall be due hereunder for the $20,000 credit provided for the CoolGlide CV System. If Cutera then re-Sells the traded-in CoolGlide CV System for $40,000, then under Section 4.4, Cutera is obligated to pay Palomar a royalty of $3,000 on such re-Sale of the traded-in CoolGlide CV System (7.5% of $40,000).

•

Installation charges, whether or not separately invoiced or identified on an invoice, shall not be deducted from the Actual Amounts.

•

Charges for the standard warranty for a Licensed Product, whether or not separately invoiced or identified on an invoice, shall not be deducted from the Actual Amounts. However, charges separately identified on an invoice for an extended warranty (after deducting appropriate charges for the standard warranty) may be deducted from Actual Amounts.

•

Charges for standard or basic training (often referred to as inservice training or initial training) or any training by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates (collectively referred to as “Standard Training”) for a Licensed Product, whether or not separately invoiced or identified on an invoice, shall not be deducted from the Actual Amounts. However, charges separately identified on an invoice for additional training by a Third Party (after deducting appropriate charges for the Standard Training, if such Third Party is to provide the Standard Training) may be deducted from Actual Amounts.

•

Notwithstanding the following paragraph on Bundled Packages, charges for other products or items listed on an invoice along with a Licensed Product, with no separate and distinct price set forth for those other products or items on the invoice in question, shall not be deducted from Actual Amounts.

If Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate Sells one or more Licensed Product(s), in combination with other, physically separate product(s) at a single price (a “Bundled Package”), then the Net Sales attributable to such Licensed Product(s), for the purpose of determining Net Sales attributable hereunder, shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of such Bundled Package by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the average Net Sales price of Licensed Product(s) in the

relevant country during the applicable calendar quarter as Sold separately in bona fide arms-length transactions by the selling party (i.e., Cutera or a Cutera Affiliate, who shall be deemed to be a “Selling Party”), and B is the total average Net Sales price of all other components in the Bundled Package that are not Licensed Product(s) in the relevant country during the applicable calendar quarter, as Sold separately in bona fide arms-length transactions by such Selling Party. If, in any given country and applicable calendar quarter, the Licensed Product(s) and other components included in a Bundled Package are not all Sold separately in bona fide arms-length transactions in such country by the same Selling Party, Net Sales of a Licensed Product(s) included within the Bundled Package shall be calculated using the formula above, using the average Net Sales price in the United States for the preceding twelve (12) months of the Licensed Product(s) and the other components, again in bona fide arms-length transactions by a single Selling Party. If no average Net Sales prices of the Licensed Product(s) and the other such components is available for the United States for the preceding twelve (12) months from bona fide arms-length transactions by a single Selling Party, the Net Sales of the Licensed Product(s) shall be the aggregate Net Sales of such assemblage of Products without deduction of any kind.

For clarity, (i) transfer of a Licensed Product within Cutera or Cutera Affiliates or between Cutera and Cutera Affiliates for subsequent Sale to a Third Party shall not be considered a Sale until a Sale is made to a Third Party and the Net Sales shall be based on the Sale to the Third Party of such Licensed Product by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, (ii) a Licensed Product shall be considered “Sold” upon the earlier of shipment of or receipt of payment for such Licensed Product or Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate recognizing revenue with respect to such sale of Licensed Product in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and all royalty obligations on Net Sales of such Licensed Product shall accrue upon the time of Sale regardless of the time of collection by the selling entity, (iii) sales of Licensed Products by Cutera Sublicensees (including sales by distributors and subdistributors) shall not give rise to Net Sales hereunder because those products shall have already been Sold by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates to such Cutera Sublicensees, with the Net Sales arising from such Sale already accounted for under this definition, (iv) “amounts invoiced” as used above shall include the value of any monetary or other consideration to be received by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates from a Sale of any Licensed Product, (v) Net Sales shall be deemed to be equal to, for any Licensed Product Sold to any Third Party for less than the seller is then charging in bona fide arms-length transactions for comparable products, the average Net Sales price of such Licensed Product in bona fide arms-length transactions by such seller, (vi) all Sales to any distributors shall include the fair market value of all cash and other consideration received from such distributor, (vii) all of the amounts specified in this definition shall be determined from the books and records of Cutera and Cutera Affiliates maintained in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and (viii) to the extent that Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates Sells any Licensed Products to any Cutera Covenanting Affiliate that is not a Cutera Affiliate hereunder (and thus treated as a “Third Party” hereunder), for purposes of calculating royalties hereunder, the Sale by such Cutera Covenanting Affiliate to a Third Party (that is not another Cutera Covenanting Affiliate) shall give rise to Net Sales hereunder, not the Sale to such Cutera Covenanting Affiliate (and so on if there is more than one Cutera Covenanting Affiliate involved).

1.15. “Patents” shall mean (i) any patents and patent applications and any patents issuing therefrom worldwide, (ii) any substitutions, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, reissues, renewals, registrations, confirmations, re-examinations, extensions, supplementary protection certificates, term extensions (under patent or other law), certificates of invention and the like, of any such patents or patent applications, and (iii) any foreign or international equivalents of any of the foregoing.

1.16. “Professional Field” shall mean the field in which products or systems are intended or marketed for sale to doctors, health care providers, beauty care professionals or other commercial service providers for use on or with patients or customers (and not for resale to any person or entity for personal use).

1.17. “Sale” shall mean, with respect to a Licensed Product, the sale, distribution, lease, use (including training, preceptorships, marketing and promotional uses for which Cutera or one or more Cutera Affiliates is to receive monetary or other consideration), cost-per-shot arrangements and any other arrangement, in each of the foregoing cases, only those instances where monetary or other consideration is to be received by Cutera or one or more Cutera Affiliates for the use of such Licensed Product.

1.18. “Third Party” shall mean any person or entity, other than Palomar, Cutera or any Palomar Affiliates or Cutera Affiliates.

1.19. “Valid Claim” shall mean either (i) a claim of an issued and unexpired Patent which has not been revoked or held permanently unenforceable or invalid by a decision of a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, unappealable or unappealed within the time allowed for appeal, and which has not been admitted to be invalid or unenforceable through opposition, reissue, re-examination or disclaimer or otherwise, or (ii) a claim of a pending application for a Patent which claim was filed in good faith and has not been abandoned or finally disallowed without the possibility of appeal or refiling of said application.

2. License Grants.

2.1. Sublicense Grant by Palomar. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Palomar hereby grants to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates a worldwide, royalty-bearing, non-terminable, non-exclusive sublicense, under the Xxxxxxxx Patents, to make, use, sell, offer for sale and import Licensed Products (provided that those Cutera Hair Modules that alone amount to a “Cutera Product” hereunder are used exclusively with other Cutera Products or Cutera Other Products and no other products or systems of Cutera, Cutera Affiliates or any Third Parties), in each case only for hair removal and only outside of the Consumer Field. It is understood and agreed that (i) the foregoing sublicense grant shall cover only those Licensed Products Sold for which royalties are paid to Palomar hereunder as provided in Section 4 (including with respect to Sales of Licensed Products occurring before April 1, 2006 for which Cutera pays royalties hereunder as specified in Section 4.2), (ii) the foregoing sublicense grant automatically extends, without any further action by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates, to each person and entity that is a “Cutera Affiliate” as of the Effective Date or becomes a “Cutera Affiliate” thereafter, but only for so long as such person or entity remains a “Cutera Affiliate” hereunder, and (iii) Palomar shall be in direct privity under this Agreement with any Cutera Affiliate as a result of such sublicense grant.

2.2. Related Licensing Provisions.

(a) Limited Sublicensing Rights. Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall not have any right to grant to any Third Parties any further sublicenses under the sublicense grant set forth in Section 2.1, nor shall any purported sublicenses under such sublicense grants made by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates or any of their sublicensees prior to April 1, 2006 be valid or enforceable, except Cutera, and only those Cutera Affiliates that are wholly-owned by Cutera (directly or indirectly, and taking into account any local law restrictions as noted in the definition of Cutera Affiliates above) and no other Cutera Affiliates, may grant sublicenses only as may be necessary for (i) Third Parties to distribute Licensed Products Sold by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates and for which royalties are payable to Palomar on Net Sales hereunder, or (ii) the manufacture of Licensed Products by Third Parties for sale only to Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, provided that, for each of clauses (i) and (ii), any such Third Parties are not Excluded Third Parties, and further provided that any such sublicense grants shall apply only to activities occurring on or after the actual date such sublicense grant is first memorialized in writing (and not before). Cutera Sublicensees shall not have the right to grant any sublicenses under any such sublicense grant by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates. Cutera shall be responsible to Palomar for the performance of any Cutera Affiliates, Cutera Covenanting Affiliates (as defined in Section 5.6), and Cutera Sublicensees under any provisions of this Agreement for which Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate is responsible, even if such person or entity is also responsible to Palomar. No purchaser of any Licensed Product shall, by operation of this Agreement, receive any license, sublicense or other rights in, to or under the Xxxxxxxx Patents that exceeds the scope and terms of the sublicense grant set forth in Section 2.1, and for clarity, it is agreed that the patent exhaustion/first sale doctrine shall not act to expand the scope of the Xxxxxxxx Patents exhausted upon sale of any Licensed Product beyond the scope and terms of such sublicense grant. Apart from the foregoing limited right to grant further sublicenses, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall not have any right to make an Assignment or otherwise Transfer such sublicense grant except pursuant to Section 9.3(a).

(b) License Field Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall not exercise, (ii) Cutera shall not allow any Cutera Affiliates or Cutera Sublicensees to exercise, and (iii) with respect to any distributor, sublicense or other agreements entered into by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates, or purchase orders issued or accepted by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates, in each case after the Effective Date, Cutera shall expressly prohibit in writing all Cutera Affiliates and Cutera Sublicensees from exercising, the sublicense grant provided for in Section 2.1 within the Consumer Field. Any failure of Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates or Cutera Sublicensees to comply with this Section 2.2(b) or failure of Cutera to bind any Cutera Affiliates or Cutera Sublicensees shall neither act to expand such sublicense grant into the Consumer Field nor relieve Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates or Cutera Sublicensees of any of their obligations hereunder. With respect to not allowing certain activities by Cutera Sublicensees as set forth in clause (ii) of the 1^st sentence of this Section 2.2(b), the Parties understand and agree that, once Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate learns of any violation of their obligations not to allow any Cutera Sublicensee to conduct those prohibited activities, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall promptly use commercially reasonable

efforts to end all such prohibited activities by such Cutera Sublicensee within a commercially reasonable time period, and if unable to end all such prohibited activities by such efforts, shall in all events within six (6) months of first learning of any such prohibited activities by such Cutera Sublicensee: (x) terminate the sublicense to such Cutera Sublicensee; and (y) stop Selling (directly or indirectly through other Cutera Sublicensees or otherwise) Licensed Products to such Cutera Sublicensee. If Palomar notifies Cutera in writing of any Cutera Sublicensee conducting any such prohibited activities, Cutera shall thereafter confirm in writing to Palomar that Cutera has complied with the immediately preceding sentence for such Cutera Sublicensee. Cutera’s and Cutera Affiliates’ full compliance with the two immediately preceding sentences shall be deemed to fully satisfy their obligations under clause (ii) above with respect to Cutera Sublicensees.

(c) Patent Marking. Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall xxxx all Licensed Products Sold after the Effective Date in accordance with the patent laws, if any, of the jurisdictions in which such Licensed Products are manufactured, used or Sold. Without limitation, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall xxxx all Licensed Products Sold in the United States after the Effective Date with the applicable U.S. patent numbers of the applicable Xxxxxxxx Patents.

(d) Palomar’s Right to Grant Other Sublicenses. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Palomar retains the right to grant sublicenses and other rights in and to the Xxxxxxxx Patents as Palomar may deem appropriate in its sole discretion, provided that no such grant may limit or restrict Cutera’s or Cutera Affiliates’ rights under this Agreement or impose any obligation on Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, other than as specified hereunder.

(e) Excluded Third Parties.

(i) The Parties intend that no Excluded Third Party, or any of their products or other technology, is to be granted any rights under the Xxxxxxxx Patents sublicensed by Palomar under Section 2.1, either through the direct sublicense from Palomar to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates under Section 2.1 or as a Cutera Sublicensee. Thus, the Parties have agreed to preclude any Excluded Third Party from becoming a “Cutera Affiliate” hereunder as provided in Section 1.1(b), and further have agreed to preclude any Assignment of this Agreement by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate to or otherwise involving any Excluded Third Party under Section 9.3(a). Further, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates hereby agree that to the extent that any of them acquires any rights or interest in or to any product(s) or other technology from any person or entity while such person or entity is an “Excluded Third Party” hereunder, whether by Assignment under Section 9.3(a), asset purchase or sale, bankruptcy, conveyance, lease, distribution arrangement, manufacturing arrangement (including any foundry arrangement), license, sublicense, option, other transfer or any other transaction of any type (any such transaction, an “Acquisition”), the sublicense grant set forth in Section 2.1 (or any sublicense thereunder granted pursuant to Section 2.2(a)) shall not apply to such product(s) or technology or any improvements or derivatives thereto (even if such person or entity at some time after the applicable Acquisition is no longer an “Excluded Third Party” hereunder), and Palomar and its sublicensees shall retain any and all rights to enforce the Xxxxxxxx Patents against Cutera, Cutera Affiliates, such Excluded Third Party or any other Third Party with respect to the same.

(ii) In the event that Cutera asserts that a person or entity is not an “Excluded Third Party” hereunder based on the “other than” proviso contained in Section 1.7(a), Cutera shall provide to Palomar at Palomar’s request copies of any and all competent written evidence on which Cutera is basing such assertion for Palomar’s consideration. In connection therewith, the Parties shall enter into a reasonable and customary confidentiality agreement to protect all such evidence provided by Cutera to Palomar under this Section 2.2(e)(ii), and further Cutera may redact sensitive financial and other commercial information from such evidence as Cutera deems appropriate, provided any such redactions do not prevent Palomar from determining the merits of Cutera’s assertion.

(f) Prosecution. As between the Parties, Palomar shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion (subject to the MGH Agreement) to prosecute, maintain, enforce and defend the Xxxxxxxx Patents, and Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall have no rights with respect to any such activities.

(g) Other Transactions. Palomar may assign, convey, sell, lease, encumber, license, sublicense or otherwise transfer or grant any right in or to (collectively, “Transfer”) a Third Party or Palomar Affiliate any and all of the Xxxxxxxx Patents or the MGH Agreement, provided that any such transaction is made subject to the sublicense grant to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates set forth in Section 2.1 and shall not limit or restrict Cutera’s or Cutera Affiliates’ rights under this Agreement or impose any additional obligations on Cutera or Cutera Affiliates.

(h) Licensing Fees. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any amounts or other consideration owed by Palomar to any Third Party or Palomar Affiliate on account of the sublicense grant to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates set forth in Section 2.1 shall be the sole responsibility of Palomar.

2.3. MGH Agreement. Palomar represents and warrants to Cutera that the MGH Agreement, as redacted and attached hereto as Appendix B, is true and complete and in effect as of the Effective Date. In the event that the MGH Agreement is terminated for any reason before the expiration of all of the Valid Claims of the Xxxxxxxx Patents, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall no longer have any further royalty obligations to Palomar under this Agreement from the date of such termination (other than for royalty obligations accrued hereunder before such date). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Palomar shall have no liability of any kind whatsoever as a result of such termination.

2.4. No Other Rights. Cutera acknowledges and agrees that, as between the Parties, Palomar and MGH have all right, title and interest in and to the Xxxxxxxx Patents, and that Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall acquire no right, title or interest in or to the Xxxxxxxx Patents, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, other than the sublicense grant to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates set forth in Section 2.1 or as otherwise expressly provided herein.

3. Other Obligations of Cutera.

3.2. Covenants.

(a) For as long as the sublicense grant by Palomar to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates set forth in Section 2.1 is in effect (the “Sublicense Term”), Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall not Exploit or otherwise practice the sublicenses to the Xxxxxxxx Patents granted to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates by Palomar under Section 2.1 by:

(i) developing any Licensed Products intended by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates for use (in whole or in part) in the Consumer Field;

(ii) marketing any Licensed Products in the Consumer Field; or

(iii) developing or commercializing in or outside the Consumer Field any Female Accessory Product during its period of commercialization by Xxxxxxxx or any Xxxxxxxx licensee, provided that any apparatus, component, accessory, disposable or Consumable as to which Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate has expended material financial and other resources on its development or commercialization as a Light-Based Accessory Product before such Female Accessory Product is first commercialized by Xxxxxxxx or any Xxxxxxxx licensee shall not be subject to the restriction contained in this Section 3.2(a)(iii). All capitalized terms used in this Section 3.2(a)(iii), but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Xxxxxxxx Agreement.

(b) During the Sublicense Term, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall label Licensed Products commercialized outside the Consumer Field pursuant to the sublicense to the Xxxxxxxx Patents granted to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates by Palomar under Section 2.1 with the following phrase (or similar words which fairly convey such products are for use only outside the Consumer Field): “not intended for consumer self-use.”

(c) During the Sublicense Term, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall not, in the development and commercialization of Licensed Products outside the Consumer Field pursuant to the sublicense to the Xxxxxxxx Patents granted to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates by Palomar under Section 2.1, intentionally (1) design, modify or otherwise improve any such Licensed Product(s) with the goal or intent of improving its efficacy or performance in the Consumer Field, or (2) optimize, induce, support or encourage the use of any such Licensed Products in the Consumer Field.

(d) The covenants of Cutera and Cutera Affiliates contained in Sections 3.2(a)(i), 3.2(a)(ii) and 3.2(c) shall not prevent Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates from conducting any activity, or exercising or granting any licenses or other rights, with respect to the practice of the Xxxxxxxx Patents, that has as its goal or intent Exploitation of a product or system outside the Consumer Field and not Exploitation of a product or system in the Consumer Field, notwithstanding the possibility that such activity, exercise or grant may have applications in the Consumer Field.

(e) All Consumer Field Users (as defined in Section 3.3(a)) are hereby granted third-party beneficiary rights to enforce the provisions of this Section 3.2 provided that Palomar has granted such Consumer Field Users such rights in writing.

3.3. Economic Adjustments for Off-Label Sales.

(a) Cutera and Cutera Affiliates each agrees to make payments to (i) Xxxxxxxx and (ii) any other Third Party to which Palomar has granted an exclusive sublicense under the Xxxxxxxx Patents in a field that in whole or in part falls within the Consumer Field (Xxxxxxxx and such other Third Parties, collectively, “Consumer Field Users”), as appropriate, in the manner set forth below, to compensate any of them for certain lost profits, if any, resulting from net off-label purchases during the Sublicense Term of Licensed Products commercialized pursuant to the sublicense to the Xxxxxxxx Patents granted to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates by Palomar under Section 2.1, for use in the Consumer Field.

(b) In the event that a Consumer Field User shall suffer Lost Profits (calculated in the manner set forth in Section 3.3(c)) in excess of Five Million Dollars (U.S. $5,000,000) in any calendar year, then such Consumer Field User may submit a written notice to Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates (a “Lost Profits Notice”) specifying its aggregate Lost Profits for such calendar year and enclosing copies of (A) the Independent Study (as defined below) supporting such calculation and (B) this Agreement. Within one hundred and eighty (180) days after receipt thereof, Cutera or Cutera Affiliate, as applicable shall (1) remit payment to such Consumer Field User, to such bank account designated in the Lost Profits Notice, in an amount equal to the difference between such Lost Profits and Five Million Dollars (U.S. $5,000,000) or (2) provide to such Consumer Field User a detailed written critique of such calculation, propose a revised calculation of such Consumer Field User’s Lost Profits based on a new Independent Study, and enclose a copy of such Independent Study. In the event that Cutera or such Cutera Affiliate, as applicable, shall propose a revised calculation, Cutera or such Cutera Affiliate, as applicable, and such Consumer Field User shall meet within thirty (30) days thereafter to attempt in good faith to negotiate an agreed level of Lost Profits, or otherwise settle the dispute. In the event that Cutera or such Cutera Affiliate, as applicable, and such Consumer Field User shall fail to reach agreement at such meeting, either of them may bring a lawsuit in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve such dispute.

(c) The Lost Profits of such Consumer Field User for a calendar year during the Sublicense Term shall be determined as follows. Such Consumer Field User shall retain, at its expense, a nationally-recognized economic consulting firm to determine, for such year, on the basis of accepted accounting, market research, sampling and survey methodology, (A) the sales by Cutera, Cutera Affiliates, Cutera Sublicensees and Cutera’s agents for such year of Licensed

Products, commercialized pursuant to the sublicense under the Xxxxxxxx Patents granted to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates by Palomar under Section 2.1, that displaced sales by or on behalf of such Consumer Field User of products, intended for use in the Consumer Field, that use optical radiation for therapeutic or cosmetic effect, and (B) the sales of such products for such year by such Consumer Field User and its affiliates, sublicensees and agents that displaced sales of such Licensed Products by or on behalf of Cutera or Cutera Affiliates, (C) the average net profit of such Consumer Field User for each unit of product sold (on a country-by-country basis, as relevant), (D) the loss of sales resulting from net off-label sales, calculated on the basis of (A) and (B), and (E) the lost profits attributable to such net off-label sales, calculated on the basis of (C) and (D) (the “Lost Profits”). Such determinations shall be summarized and documented in a report prepared by such nationally-recognized economic consulting firm (the “Independent Study”).

(d) All Consumer Field Users are hereby granted third-party beneficiary rights with respect to the provisions of this Section 3.3 provided that Palomar has granted such Consumer Field Users such rights in writing.

3.4. Other Provisions.

(a) The provisions of this Section 3 shall apply to Cutera Sublicensees and Cutera Affiliates to the same extent as Cutera. The provisions of this Section 3 shall be in effect for only as long as the Sublicense Term, and further shall be in effect with respect to any particular Consumer Field User for only as long as such Consumer Field User has an exclusive sublicense under the Xxxxxxxx Patents in a field that in whole or in part falls within the Consumer Field, provided that the end of the Sublicense Term shall not affect any obligations of Cutera or Cutera Affiliates under this Section 3 that have accrued as of the end of the Sublicense Term.

(b) Palomar represents and warrants to Cutera as of the Effective Date that (i) the Xxxxxxxx Agreement, excluding exhibits and redactions of other commercially sensitive information, and attached hereto as of the Effective Date as Appendix A, is true and complete and in effect as of the Effective Date, and (ii) such excluded exhibits and redactions do not alter the definitions of “Female Accessory Product”, “Consumable” or “Light-Based Accessory Product” contained in the unredacted portions of the Xxxxxxxx Agreement attached hereto.

4. Compensation.

4.1. Flow-Chart. Attached hereto as Exhibit E are flow-charts showing how to determine royalty payments for the Sale of Licensed Products in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4. The Parties intend for those flow-charts and the provisions of this Section 4 to be read and construed as one document in order to understand the royalty obligations hereunder.

4.2. Royalties Arising from Past Sales.

(a) Payment. Cutera’s good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of royalties due pursuant to Section 4.4 for Sales of Licensed Products by Cutera and Cutera Affiliates accruing before April 1, 2006, plus interest at the Applicable Rate (as defined below) calculated on a compound basis with a calendar quarterly compounding period from the date of the applicable Sale until the Effective Date, is equal to Fifteen Million Two Hundred Thousand

Dollars (U.S. $15,200,000). Cutera shall pay to Palomar such amount within two (2) days of the Effective Date. Such amount is exclusive of any amounts payable by Cutera to Palomar pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, including pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii) of the Settlement Agreement. The payments required by this Section 4.2 shall be made by wire transfer, without deduction for any taxes or other charges, as provided in Section 4.11.

(b) Audit. Such Sales of Licensed Products that give rise to the payment in Section 4.2(a) and applicable interest shall be auditable for a period of seven (7) years from the date of each such Sale as contemplated by Sections 4.9 and 4.10, and Cutera shall be responsible for any under-payment of the amount owed Palomar under this Section 4.2 notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement (including any release thereunder). The Parties acknowledge and agree that any initial under-payment under this Section 4.2 (the “Initial 7.5% Under-Payment”) shall not constitute a material breach of this Agreement, but Cutera shall be required to pay the Initial 7.5% Under-Payment in full, plus interest at a rate equal to the rate of interest specified in Section 4.11 (calculated on a compound basis with a monthly compounding period from the date of the applicable Sale until the date payment is made, or if any portion of the Initial 7.5% Under-Payment cannot reasonably be related to any such Sale so as to determine the start date for such interest calculation, then from April 1, 2005 for such portion), and not the Applicable Rate, and failure by Cutera to pay the Initial 7.5% Under-Payment, plus such interest, in full within forty-five (45) days following notice thereof shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Cutera. For clarity, only one rate of interest shall apply to any Sale of Licensed Product, or any portion of Net Sales, not initially reported by Cutera that gives rise to or results in the Initial 7.5% Under-Payment, which rate of interest shall be equal to the rate of interest specified in Section 4.11 and not the Applicable Rate.

(c) Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Rate” shall mean a rate, starting from the first Sale of Licensed Product until the payment date, published in The Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Edition (“WSJ”) as the prime lending rate. For clarity, the interest calculation required using the Applicable Rate under Section 4.2(a) shall be computed as follows: the amount in U.S. dollars for a Sale occurring on, for example, January 14, 2004 would be subject to the applicable prime interest rate as published in the WSJ on January 14, 2004, then a different rate of interest when the prime rate of interest as published in the WSJ changes, then a different rate of interest when the prime rate of interest as published in the WSJ again changes, and so on until the payment date.

4.3. No Payments for Certain Cutera Products. The Parties acknowledge and agree that no royalties are due hereunder for the Sale of (1) Cutera Other Products, except as provided in Section 4.4(c) to the extent that a Cutera Other Product becomes a Cutera Combination Product hereunder, or (2) Cutera Other Modules, except as provided in Section 4.4(c) upon their Sale as part of or for use with a Cutera Combination Product, provided that the foregoing conclusion that no royalties are due shall depend on the proper categorization of the module, product, system, component or accessory in question as a Cutera Hair Module or Cutera Other Module, or as a Cutera Hair Product or Cutera Combination Product or Cutera Other Product, as applicable hereunder.

4.4. Royalties Payable by Cutera for Net Sales.

(a) Cutera Hair Products and Cutera Modules Added Thereto.

(i) Cutera shall pay to Palomar royalties on Net Sales of each Cutera Hair Product, in all countries where the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of such Cutera Hair Product infringes a Valid Claim of the Xxxxxxxx Patents, equal to seven and one half percent (7.5%) of such Net Sales.

(ii) In the event that a Cutera Hair Module is Sold for use with a previously Sold Cutera Hair Product, Cutera shall pay to Palomar royalties of seven and one half percent (7.5%) on Net Sales attributable to such Cutera Hair Module in all countries where the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of such Cutera Hair Module infringes a Valid Claim of the Xxxxxxxx Patents.

(iii) In the event that a Cutera Other Module is Sold for use with a previously Sold Cutera Hair Product, (1) no royalties already paid or owed to Palomar for the previous Sale of such Cutera Hair Product hereunder shall be creditable or refundable and there shall be no right of set-off with respect thereto, and (2) no royalties shall be owed Palomar hereunder on the Net Sales attributable to such Cutera Other Module.

(b) Cutera Other Products, and Cutera Modules Added Thereto.

(i) No royalties shall be owed Palomar hereunder by Cutera on the Sale of Cutera Other Products.

(ii) In the event that a Cutera Hair Module is Sold for use with a previously Sold Cutera Other Product, (1) no royalties shall be owed hereunder for the previous Sale of the Cutera Other Product, and (2) Cutera shall pay to Palomar royalties of seven and one half percent (7.5%) on Net Sales attributable to such Cutera Hair Module in all countries where the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of such Cutera Hair Module infringes a Valid Claim of the Xxxxxxxx Patents.

(iii) In the event that a Cutera Other Module is Sold for use with a previously Sold Cutera Other Product, no royalties shall be owed Palomar hereunder on the Net Sales attributable to such Cutera Other Module.

(i) Amount. Cutera shall pay to Palomar a seven and one half percent (7.5%) royalty on the percentage set forth in the table below of the Aggregate Net Sales (as defined below) attributable to the Sale of each Cutera Combination Product, in all countries where the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of such Cutera Combination Product infringes a Valid Claim of the Xxxxxxxx Patents:


*Type of Cutera Combination Products*		*Percentage of Aggregate Net* *Sales To Use to* *Calculate* *Royalty Amount Owed*
*Number of Cutera Hair* *Modules*	*Number of Cutera Other* *Modules*
None	One or more	Zero percent (0%), i.e., no royalty due
One or more	None	One hundred percent (100%)
Only one	One or more	Fifty percent (50%)
More than one	One or more	Seventy percent (70%)

(ii) Calculation of Royalties. For purposes of calculating royalties on the Sale of Cutera Combination Products, and Cutera Modules for them, the “Aggregate Net Sales” shall be used, wherein such term shall mean all of the Net Sales attributable to all the components of a particular Cutera Combination Product, i.e., the Cutera Combination Product and all associated Cutera Modules, whether one or more than one Sales were involved. Accordingly, upon each Sale of a Cutera Combination Product, or a Cutera Module associated therewith, the royalties due Palomar shall be calculated or recalculated, as the case may be, as follows:

(1) On the first Sale of a Cutera Combination Product, the royalty shall be calculated as provided in the table above on the Net Sales attributable to such Cutera Combination Product (including any Cutera Modules Sold therewith), which shall be the Aggregate Net Sales for such purposes;

(2) For a Cutera Combination Product previously Sold, upon the Sale of a Cutera Module to be used with such Cutera Combination Product, the Net Sales from clause (1) above and the Net Sales attributable to such Cutera Module shall be summed to give the Aggregate Net Sales, and the royalty shall be calculated as provided in the table above, with the understanding that the percentage of Aggregate Net Sales to be used to calculate the royalty owed may change if the type of Cutera Combination Product were to change as a result of the Sale of such Cutera Module, and either (A) a credit shall be taken by Cutera if and only to the extent that Cutera has already paid royalties on such Cutera Combination Product (and no other Cutera Product) in excess of the new royalty calculated, or (B) an additional amount shall be paid by Cutera to Palomar for any increase in the royalties owed; and

(3) The process in clause (2) above shall be repeated for each Sale of a Cutera Module to be used with such Cutera Combination Product.

Exhibit F sets forth examples of calculating royalties owed for the Sale of Cutera Combination Products.

(iii) Counting Cutera Modules. With respect to the foregoing table in Section 4.4(c)(i), for purposes of determining the number of Cutera Modules associated with a particular Cutera Combination Product:

(1) Each separate Cutera Module shall count as either a Cutera Hair Module or a Cutera Other Module, even if such module may be used for multiple treatment purposes (e.g., a Cutera Other Module that was marketed for treatment of both wrinkles and acne would count as one Cutera Other Module for the tally); and

(2) Each Cutera Module may only be associated with a single Cutera Combination Product, even if such Cutera Module is used with more than one Cutera Combination Product, and each Cutera Module shall be associated with that Cutera Combination Product that gives to the greatest extent possible an equal number of each type of Cutera Module to all of the Cutera Combination Products that use such Cutera Module.

4.5. Royalties – General. The following provisions shall apply to all royalties due under any provision of Section 4:

(a) Limited Right of Set-Off. Except as expressly provided in Sections 4.4(c), 4.10 and 4.11, all royalties owed or paid to Palomar pursuant to this Section 4 shall be non-creditable and non-refundable and there shall be no right of set-off with respect thereto, provided that Cutera may credit any over-payment made by Cutera to Palomar hereunder (or under the Settlement Agreement as set forth therein) against future amounts owed Palomar hereunder but otherwise Palomar shall not be obligated to reimburse any such over-payment.

(b) Multi-Sale Licensed Products. Royalties shall be owed to Palomar hereunder no matter whether a Licensed Product is Sold in a single transaction, or whether the various components of a Licensed Product are Sold in a series of transactions. By way of example and without limitation, if a first component of a Licensed Product that by itself is not a Licensed Product hereunder is Sold (e.g., an item that is used to remove tattoos but is not a Licensed Product hereunder), and then thereafter a second component of a Licensed Product that, when combined or used in combination with the first component, produces a Licensed Product hereunder is then Sold (e.g., a piece that, when used with the item for tattoo removal, produces optical radiation for hair removal), royalties shall be owed to Palomar on the Net Sales attributable to all the components that make up the Licensed Product (for this example, the sum of the Net Sales attributable to the Sale of the item for tattoo removal and the piece for hair removal).

(c) Country Issues. Royalties shall be owed and payable only on Net Sales of Licensed Products in those countries where the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of such Licensed Product infringes a Valid Claim of the Xxxxxxxx Patents, subject to the following understanding for the mutual convenience of the Parties: the determination of whether the manufacture of a Licensed Product infringes a Valid Claim of the Xxxxxxxx Patents shall be determined by assuming that the entire Licensed Product for such infringement analysis is manufactured in each country in which a part of the Licensed Product that is materially involved in practicing such a Valid Claim occurs. By way of example and without limitation, if a part of a Licensed Product that is materially involved in practicing such a Valid Claim is

manufactured in a first country, and another part of a Licensed Product is manufactured in a second country, for purposes of determining if a royalty is owed to Palomar hereunder on the manufacture of the Licensed Product as a whole, the entire Licensed Product shall be assumed to be manufactured in the first country, and if such Valid Claim in the first country would be, in the absence of the sublicense granted in Section 2.1, infringed by such manufacture, then a royalty shall be owed to Palomar on the Net Sale attributable to the entire Licensed Product. Similarly, if the part of the Licensed Product that is manufactured in the second country is also materially involved in practicing a Valid Claim in the second country and if such Valid Claim in the second country would be, in the absence of the sublicense granted in Section 2.1, infringed by such manufacture, then a royalty shall be owed to Palomar on the Net Sale attributable to the entire Licensed Product. The foregoing shall also apply in the event a Licensed Product is Sold as components in more than one transaction, as provided in Section 4.5(b).

(d) Treatment of Marketing by Others. For purposes of determining whether any module, product, system, component, accessory or other good is a Licensed Product hereunder, it is understood and agreed that all marketing activities supported directly or indirectly by Cutera or one or more Cutera Affiliates or Cutera Sublicensees (which support may include, without limitation, providing any written marketing materials, supporting any clinical trials, or providing any consideration (including by reducing amounts owed)) shall be attributed to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates for such purposes. With respect to attributing certain marketing activities by Cutera Sublicensees to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates under this Section 4.5(d), the Parties understand and agree that, once Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate learns of any such marketing activities by any Cutera Sublicensee that Cutera and Cutera Affiliates do not want to be attributed to them hereunder (the “Non-Applicable Activities”), Cutera shall notify Palomar in writing of such Non-Applicable Activities and the Cutera Sublicensee(s) involved (unless Palomar first notified Cutera of such Non-Applicable Activities, whereupon Cutera shall confirm in writing that it received such notice and intends to take the steps set forth below), and Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to end such Non-Applicable Activities within a commercially reasonable period of time. If Cutera and Cutera Affiliates are able to end all such Non-Applicable Activities within six (6) months of first learning of any such Non-Applicable Activities, those Non-Applicable Activities shall not be attributed to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates hereunder; however, if Cutera and Cutera Affiliates are unable to end the Non-Applicable Activities within six (6) months by such efforts, Cutera and the Cutera Affiliates shall immediately (x) terminate the sublicense to such Cutera Sublicensee, and (y) stop Selling (directly or indirectly through other Cutera Sublicensees or otherwise) Licensed Products to such Cutera Sublicensee. Cutera’s and Cutera Affiliates’ full compliance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed to fully satisfy their obligations under this Section 4.5(d) with respect to Cutera Sublicensees; contingent upon such full compliance, any such Non-Applicable Activities shall not be attributed to Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate.

(e) Records. In addition to the records that Cutera and Cutera Affiliates are required to keep under Section 4.9, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall maintain such records, based on the serial number of each Cutera Product and Cutera Module, to verify any royalty calculation for Cutera Products and Cutera Modules, and such records shall be available for audit as provided in Section 4.10.

(f) Single Royalty. Cutera shall pay only one royalty hereunder on Net Sales attributable to each Licensed Product whether or not it is covered by more than one claim of the Xxxxxxxx Patents and whether or not it infringes the Xxxxxxxx Patents in more than one country.

(g) Waiver. By written notice to Cutera, Palomar shall have the right to waive, in its sole discretion, retrospectively or prospectively, any royalties owed or that would otherwise be owed in the future to Palomar by Cutera as a result of this Agreement, and Palomar shall have no liability of any kind whatsoever as a result of the presence or absence of any waived obligation.

4.6. Potential Royalty Rate Reduction.

(a) Potential Reduction in Royalty Rate. Subject to Section 4.6(b), if after the Effective Date Palomar grants to a Third Party a non-exclusive sublicense under the Xxxxxxxx Patents within the Professional Field (but not the Consumer Field), which sublicense grants substantially similar rights as this Agreement but with a royalty rate on net sales of products whose manufacture, use or sale infringe the Xxxxxxxx Patents in the United States that is a lower percentage than the percentage rate specified under Section 4.4 (i.e., 7.5%) (such lower percentage rate, the “Lower Rate”), then Palomar shall notify Cutera of the existence of any such sublicense and the Lower Rate, and the royalty percentage rate set forth in Section 4.4 shall be reduced to the Lower Rate for Net Sales of Licensed Product whose manufacture, use or sale infringe the Xxxxxxxx Patents in the United States, which reduction shall become effective (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.6(b)(ii) for any Permitted Deduction) as of the date (but not before) that such Third Party has sold, in the aggregate, at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S. $100,000) in products whose manufacture, use or sale infringe the Xxxxxxxx Patents in the United States giving rise to royalties payable to Palomar at the Lower Rate. Upon Cutera’s reasonable written request, Palomar shall certify to Cutera that Palomar is in compliance with this Section 4.6 for each new sublicense under the Xxxxxxxx Patents granted by Palomar after the Effective Date in the Professional Field. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any such royalty reduction shall not apply to amounts already paid or payable to Palomar hereunder (including those identified in Section 4.2).

(b) Exceptions. Except to the extent expressly provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) below, Section 4.6(a) shall not apply to any of the following sublicenses under the Xxxxxxxx Patents granted by Palomar:

(i) Sublicenses, or rights to sublicenses, that are in effect prior to the Effective Date, provided that Section 4.6(a) shall apply to any subsequent amendment or restatement of such existing sublicense, where such amendment or restatement changes the royalty rate;

(ii) Sublicenses granted by Palomar (whether by sublicense or release) applying to activities occurring only before the effectiveness of the applicable sublicense or settlement, as long as either (x) Palomar and Palomar Affiliates in the aggregate are to be paid a license fee or other settlement payment for such activities (at the time of the sublicense grant or settlement or in installments thereafter) of at least Three Million Dollars (U.S. $3,000,000), or (y) the royalty rate (i.e., the “Lower Rate” in each such case) applicable to products whose manufacture, use or sale infringe the Xxxxxxxx Patents in the United States is not less than five percent (5%); if neither (x) nor (y) are true (that is, Palomar and Palomar Affiliates are not owed at least such amount and such Lower Rate is less than five percent (5%)), then and only in such situation shall the following apply:

(1) Palomar shall grant Cutera a “Permitted Deduction”, which shall be equal to Palomar’s good faith estimate of the difference (in U.S. dollars) between (A) the royalties payable to Palomar for the manufacture, use or sale of the applicable Third Party’s products that infringed the Xxxxxxxx Patents in the United States before such sublicense/settlement, and (B) the royalties that would have been payable to Palomar if a hypothetical five percent (5%) royalty rate had been used (e.g., if the royalties payable to Palomar for past Third Party sales is $80,000, and the royalties that would have otherwise been payable to Palomar based on a hypothetical 5% royalty rate would have been $200,000, then the Permitted Deduction would be $120,000); and

(2) Cutera may take any such Permitted Deduction as a deduction on future royalties payable to Palomar hereunder, until such time as the Permitted Deduction is fully deducted, by reducing the percentage rate set forth in Section 4.4 to five percent (5%) for Net Sales of Licensed Products whose manufacture, use or sale infringe the Xxxxxxxx Patents in the United States until such time as the amount of royalties saved by Cutera by such reduction (i.e., the difference between what Cutera would have paid Palomar at the percentage rate of seven and one half percent (7.5%) and what Cutera will have paid under the reduced percentage rate of five percent (5%)) equals the Permitted Deduction, whereupon such percentage rate shall return to seven and one half percent (7.5%).

(iii) Sublicenses granted by Palomar for which the consideration owed to Palomar is more than the payment of royalties on net sales, such as a bona fide license or sublicense to Palomar by such Third Party under material intellectual property rights owned or otherwise controlled by such Third Party;

(iv) Sublicenses granted for other than hair removal;

(v) Sublicenses granted to Palomar Affiliates;

(vi) Sublicenses granted in connection with a development and/or commercialization agreement in which Palomar has more than de minimus development or commercialization rights or obligations; and

(vii) Sublicenses or licenses that apply to more than the Xxxxxxxx Patents, such as licenses or sublicenses to other Patents owned or otherwise controlled by Palomar.

In the event that more than one of clauses (i) to (vii) listed in this Section 4.6(b) applies to any particular sublicense/settlement with a Third Party and its Affiliates, then the clause or clause(s) most favorable to Palomar shall apply (e.g., if clause (ii) and (vi) were to apply to any Third Party sublicense, then because clause (vi) is more favorable to Palomar than clause (ii), such clause (vi) shall apply in lieu of clause (ii)).

(c) Exceptions to a Patent Challenge. Section 4.6 shall not apply under any circumstances if the royalty rate under Section 4.4 or elsewhere hereunder increases as a result of the terms of Section 8.3 or a Patent Challenge as specified in Section 8.5, and to the extent that any reduction has already occurred pursuant to this Section 4.6 (including if any Permitted Deduction remains outstanding), such reduction shall not operate to reduce the royalty rates specified by those Sections 8.3 and 8.5 or royalties payable to Palomar as a result thereof.

4.7. Royalty Disputes.

(a) Royalty Dispute and Escrow Account. If Palomar and any of Cutera or Cutera Affiliates shall in good faith dispute whether (i) Cutera has an obligation to pay to Palomar royalties for the Sale by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates of any module, product, system, component or accessory, or the appropriate amount of such payment, in each case other than any Cutera Current Product, based on whether the manufacture, use or sale of such item infringes the Xxxxxxxx Patents, or whether such item should be categorized as a Cutera Hair Module or Cutera Other Module, or as a Cutera Hair Product or Cutera Combination Product or Cutera Other Product, as applicable hereunder (but not based on any other dispute involving royalties, such as the amount of royalties payable on Net Sales for sales of any module, product, system, component or accessory the categorization of which is not in dispute, the application of the Net Sales definition, audit disputes, payment performance by Cutera, whether any person or entity is a Cutera Affiliate or Excluded Third Party hereunder, etc.), or (ii) any dispute regarding the applicability of Section 4.6(a) (including the amount of any Permitted Deduction, but not the actual deductions by Cutera of same once the amount of Permitted Deduction is agreed to), then in each case of (i) and (ii), the subject Parties (plus Cutera if the affected Party is a Cutera Affiliate) shall first attempt to resolve such dispute (a “Royalty Dispute”) in accordance with Section 6. If such Parties are unable to resolve a Royalty Dispute as provided in Section 6, then within seventy-five (75) days of the applicable Dispute Notice Date from Section 6.1 for such Royalty Dispute, Cutera shall deposit those royalty amounts that Palomar believes in good faith it is owed hereunder and that Cutera has failed or refuses to pay to Palomar (collectively, the “Disputed Amounts”) into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”). The Escrow Account shall (1) be under the control of an independent escrow agent that is a U.S. recognized banking or financial institution and that is reasonably acceptable to Palomar, (2) accrue interest on all deposited Disputed Amounts at a commercially reasonable rate, and (3) require that such escrow agent distribute all deposited Disputed Amounts (plus interest and minus fees for the Escrow Account) at the mutual direction of such Parties or as provided by a court or other decision-maker agreed to by such Parties. In addition, all fees charged by such escrow agent for the Escrow Account (the “Escrow Fees”) shall be paid from the deposited Disputed Amounts, subject to recovery as provided in Section 4.7(b). All subsequent disputed or unpaid royalties related to an unresolved Royalty Dispute shall be deposited by Cutera as additional deposited Disputed Amounts in the applicable Escrow Account for such Royalty Dispute when the payment would be due hereunder for those royalties. It is understood and agreed that a new

Escrow Account shall be established for a Royalty Dispute that is unrelated to any then unresolved Royalty Disputes. This Section 4.7 shall be in addition and without prejudice to any Party’s other rights or remedies hereunder.

(b) Costs. In the event that Cutera has deposited, or is obligated to deposit, any amounts in an Escrow Account as provided in Section 4.7(a) for a Royalty Dispute, then in the event that an unresolved Royalty Dispute is submitted for resolution to arbitration pursuant to Section 4.7(c) or, solely in the event that the obligation to arbitrate set forth herein is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or either Party seeks to enforce the results of such arbitration as provided in Section 4.7(c), there is any other suit or action regarding same, the prevailing Party in such arbitration (such prevailing Party to be identified pursuant to Section 4.7(c)), suit or action with respect to the issue(s) giving rise to such Royalty Dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing Party all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including those of attorneys, professionals and accountants and all those arising from appeals and investigations) incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with such Royalty Dispute on or after the applicable Dispute Notice Date, as well as all applicable Escrow Fees (collectively, “Expenses”). In the event that one Party prevails on some issues, and the other Party prevails on other issues, involved in such Royalty Dispute, then each Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party an amount equal to the product calculated by multiplying (1) the sum total of both Parties’ Expenses for such Royalty Dispute, with (2) such Party’s Winning Percentage, wherein “Winning Percentage” shall mean the (i) the sum of the monetary value of the applicable Disputed Amounts for each issue on which a Party prevailed, divided by (ii) all of the applicable Disputed Amounts.

(c) Arbitration. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Royalty Dispute (as defined and limited above in Section 4.7(a)) shall be subject to the terms of this Section 4.7, and neither Party shall file any action in any court with respect to the subject matter of any Royalty Dispute except as expressly permitted under this Section 4.7(c). Any Party may submit any Royalty Dispute unresolved in accordance with Section 4.7(a) or within thirty (30) days of the end of the process in Section 6.1 to be finally settled by arbitration administered in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect at the time of submission, unless such Royalty Dispute cannot be resolved without an adjudication of the material rights and/or obligations of a Third Party, in which case the remainder of this Section 4.7(c) shall not apply but Section 6.1 shall apply (unless such Third Party agrees to be bound in writing to all these arbitration terms in this Section 4.7). The arbitration shall be heard and determined by three (3) arbitrators. Cutera and Palomar shall each appoint one arbitrator and the third arbitrator shall be selected by such two Party-appointed arbitrators, or, failing agreement within sixty (60) days following the date of receipt by the respondent of the claim, by the AAA. Such arbitration shall take place in Boston, MA. The arbitration award so given (i) shall be a final and binding determination of the applicable Royalty Dispute, (ii) shall be fully enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, and (iii) shall not include any damages expressly prohibited by Section 5.5 but shall include the shifting of fees, costs and expenses contemplated by Section 4.7(b) (including a determination of which Party is the prevailing Party). Except in a proceeding to enforce the results of the arbitration or as otherwise required by law, neither Palomar nor Cutera nor any arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of Palomar and Cutera.

4.8. Annual Reports for Annual Audits. For calendar year 2006 and each calendar year thereafter as long as royalties are owed to Palomar hereunder, Cutera shall prepare for review by the Independent Accountant (as defined in Section 4.10(a)) in connection with the Annual Audit a written annual report (each, an “Annual Report”) showing, on a country-by-country basis, for all Sales by Cutera and Cutera Affiliates: (i) the Net Sales of all Licensed Products for which royalties are owed under Section 4.4 during such year and a reasonably detailed calculation of such Net Sales, including separately identifying Sales made by Cutera and Cutera Affiliates and the calendar quarter during which those Sales were made and including the amount and reasons for any deductions from Actual Amounts; (ii) the royalties in U.S. dollars paid to Palomar during such year and royalties still owed to Palomar for such Net Sales; (iii) the dates of the first commercial sale of any new Licensed Product that occurred during such year and Cutera’s proposed categorization of such new Licensed Product, provided that such categorization shall be subject to Section 4.7; (iv) the exchange rates used in determining the amount of U.S. dollars; (v) the reclassification of any Cutera Product or Cutera Other Product from one category to another or within types of Cutera Combination Products identified in the table above, and a reasonably detailed description for such reclassification; (vi) information required by Section 4.6 concerning the Permitted Deduction (if applicable), including the amount deducted in any prior calendar year and the amount remaining, and (vii) all serial number information regarding specific examples of Cutera Combination Products and Cutera Modules for use with them, including all other information reasonably necessary, to explain any royalty calculation for Sales of such Products and Modules. Each Annual Report shall be due to the Independent Accountant on or before February 15 after the applicable calendar year. The receipt or acceptance by the Independent Accountant of any Annual Report shall not prevent Palomar from subsequently challenging the validity or accuracy of such Annual Report or royalty payments based thereon. Without limiting anything else herein, the Annual Report shall be regarded as Cutera’s and Cutera Affiliates’ confidential information and subject to the provisions set forth in Section 4.10(c).

4.9. Records. Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall keep complete and accurate records for seven (7) years after the Sale of a Cutera Product or Cutera Module, including records of Net Sales of Cutera Products and Cutera Modules.

4.10. Audits.

(a) Initial Audit. After the Effective Date, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall permit a nationally certified, independent public accountant (which the Parties hereby agree shall include Pricewaterhouse Coopers) selected by Palomar (“Independent Accountant”) to have access during normal business hours, at Cutera and any Cutera Affiliate’s premises, to such of the records of Cutera and Cutera Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty payments under Section 4.2, Section 3(a)(ii) of the Settlement Agreement, and interest thereon (the “Initial Audit”). In the event that such Independent Accountant concludes that additional royalties or interest thereon are owed for the period before April 1, 2006, the additional royalty shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the date Palomar delivers to Cutera such Independent Accountant’s written report so concluding, together with interest calculated in the manner provided by Section 4.2; in the event that such Independent Accountant concludes that Cutera overpaid royalties owed on past Sales of Licensed Products, then Cutera may credit such over-payment against future amounts owed Palomar hereunder but otherwise Palomar shall

not be obligated to reimburse any such over-payment. The fees charged by such Independent Accountant for the Initial Audit shall be paid by Palomar unless the Initial Audit discloses that the royalties and interest payable by Cutera pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 3(a)(ii) of the Settlement Agreement are greater than fifty thousand dollars (U.S. $50,000) more than the royalties and interest actually paid, in which case Cutera shall pay the actual fees and expenses charged by such Independent Accountant.

(b) Annual Audit. On or after February 15 following calendar year 2006 and each calendar year thereafter as long as royalties are owed to Palomar hereunder, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall permit an Independent Accountant to have access during normal business hours, at Cutera and any Cutera Affiliate’s premises, to such of the records of Cutera and Cutera Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the Annual Report and payments hereunder for the prior calendar year (each, an “Annual Audit”). Cutera shall only be subject to an audit one time with respect to each calendar year. The Independent Accountant shall provide a written report for each such Annual Audit to Palomar, provided that such written report shall only disclose the summary amounts and aggregated data, any additional royalties payable by Cutera or royalty overpayments previously made by Cutera, and the source of any such discrepancies and reasonable data in support thereof, provided further that such report can include the amount of royalties payable for each quarter broken out by (i) U.S. sales and (ii) all other sales (collectively the “Written Report”). In the event that such Independent Accountant concludes that additional royalties are owed for the applicable calendar year, the additional royalty shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the Independent Accountant delivers to Cutera such Independent Accountant’s written report so concluding, together with interest calculated in the manner provided by Section 4.11; in the event that such Independent Accountant concludes that Cutera overpaid royalties owed on past Sales of Licensed Products, then Cutera may credit such over-payment against future amounts owed Palomar hereunder but otherwise Palomar shall not be obligated to reimburse any such over-payment. The fees charged by such Independent Accountant for Annual Audits shall be paid by Cutera.

(c) Confidentiality. Palomar agrees that all Annual Reports, such Independent Accountant’s report and all information subject to review under this Section 4.10 is confidential and that only the Written Report may be disclosed to Palomar by such Independent Accountant. Palomar shall cause such Independent Accountant to retain all such information in confidence, and Palomar shall not provide all or any portion of the Written Report to MGH unless and until MGH agrees in writing to retain all such information in confidence. Palomar hereby covenants and agrees that Palomar may not use any such information for any purpose other than determining whether Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate has complied with its obligations under, and enforcing the terms of, this Agreement. Palomar further agrees that, until such time as such information is no longer confidential through no fault of Palomar, Palomar Affiliates, MGH or MGH Affiliates, Palomar shall maintain such information in confidence and treat it in a manner at least as restrictive as the manner in which Palomar treats its own confidential information of similar nature and in any event not less than with a reasonable degree of care.

4.11. Payments. Royalties accrued by the end of a calendar quarter shall be due and payable on the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the close of each calendar quarter. The receipt or acceptance by Palomar of any royalty payment shall not prevent Palomar from subsequently challenging the validity or accuracy of such payment. Late royalty payments, together with

interest thereon accruing under this Agreement from the date when due, shall be payable immediately upon discovery. Any credits to be taken by Cutera as a result of deductions to the royalties already paid shall be taken from the next payment due hereunder. All payments under this Agreement shall be made when due hereunder in U.S. dollars by transfer to Palomar to the bank account specified below or such other bank account as Palomar may designate from time to time. Any payments which fall due on a date which is a legal holiday in the jurisdiction in which the bank account resides may be made on the next following day which is not a legal holiday in such jurisdiction. Any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, for clarity, excluding the payment actually made pursuant to Section 4.2(a) but including interest on any Initial 7.5% Under-Payment owed pursuant to Section 4.2(b). Interest payable shall be calculated on a compound basis with a monthly compounding period from the date the payment was due until the date payment is received by Palomar.

4.12. Taxes and Other Charges. In addition to any other amounts due hereunder, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall pay all foreign, federal, state, municipal and other governmental excise, sales, use, property, customs, import, value added, gross receipts and other taxes, fees, levies and duties of any nature now in force or enacted in the future that are assessed upon or with respect to the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation of the Licensed Products, any royalties or other payments made or owing hereunder, or otherwise arising in connection with this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby, but excluding taxes based on Palomar’s net income. If Cutera is required by law to make any deduction or withhold from any sum payable to Palomar by Cutera hereunder, then the sum payable by Cutera upon which the deduction or withholding is based shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after such deduction or withholding, Palomar receives and retains, free from liability for such deduction or withholding, a net amount equal to the amount Palomar would have received and retained in the absence of such required deduction or withholding.

4.13. Mutual Convenience of the Parties. The royalty obligations set forth hereunder (including the royalties payable on Licensed Products manufactured in more than one country as provided in Section 4.5(c) and Section 4.7 addressing Royalty Disputes), have been agreed to by the Parties for the purpose of reflecting and advancing their mutual convenience, including the ease of calculating and paying royalties to Palomar. Cutera and Cutera Affiliates each hereby stipulates to the fairness and reasonableness of such royalty obligations and covenants not to allege or assert, or allow any Cutera Sublicensees, or allow, cause or encourage or support any Third Party to allege or assert, that such royalty obligations are unenforceable or illegal in any way or amount to patent misuse. Notwithstanding the acknowledgments and restrictions contained in this Section 4.13, upon learning or being notified of any employee or consultant of Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate, who is not a director or officer thereof, making statements or

otherwise taking actions contrary to any such acknowledgments or restrictions, Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to end such statements and actions, and the prompt exercise of such commercially reasonable efforts shall be deemed to satisfy Cutera’s and Cutera Affiliates’ covenants set forth in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to such employee or consultant, it being understood that those acknowledgments and restrictions shall apply without qualification to all others, including directors and officers of Cutera and Cutera Affiliates.

Thus, after this Agreement expires, such covenants shall continue to apply to those activities that have already occurred but shall not apply to any activities occurring after the Term ends.

(e) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Allowed Improvements” shall mean only those changes or improvements (hereinafter referred to as “changes” and “changed” products in this Section 5.6(e)) to either a Cutera Current Product or Palomar Current Product, as applicable, that satisfies each of the two following criterion:

(1) such change is not a substantial modification to the functionality of the applicable product (for example, each of the following changes amounts to a substantial modification to functionality and thus do not satisfy this clause (1) and is not an “Allowed Improvement” hereunder: changes providing a different method of treatment, or changing the type of light source employed (e.g., flashlamp changed to laser diode); excluding those changes in the immediately preceding parenthetical of this clause (1), for clarity, each of the following changes does not amount to a substantial modification to functionality: changes to a user interface, software changes, changes to power source, changes to a treatment spot size, changes in wavelength or the way in which optical radiation is applied to the skin (e.g., lenses), changes in filter properties, changes in or additions of tissue cooling apparatus, changes in pulse duration and changes in output energy, fluence or optical intensity; and

(2) the making, using or selling of such changed product does not infringe any claims of the Subject Palomar Claims or Subject Cutera Claims, respectively (i.e., for a Cutera Current Product, the Palomar Subject Claims, and for a Palomar Current Product, the Cutera Subject Claims), that the product before such change(s) and in the form sold as of the Effective Date, did not infringe; that is, if the changed product infringes a claim of the other Party’s Subject Claims that the product as of the Effective Date did not, then such changed product does not satisfy this clause (2) and is not an “Allowed Improvement” to such product hereunder. For clarity, the foregoing infringement test (w) shall be on a claim-by-claim (not Patent-by-Patent) basis, (x) shall be conducted only on U.S. Patents and no others, (y) shall apply only to claims of issued U.S. Patents, provided that once a U.S. patent application issues that is either Party’s Subject Claim hereunder, then the foregoing infringement test shall be run for such newly issued U.S. Patent (looking back to the Effective Date for the product before such changes and as of the issuance date for the changed product), and (z) likewise, shall apply to any newly acquired or in-licensed Subject Claims for either Party (again, looking back to the Effective Date for the product before such changes and as of the license or acquisition date for the changed product).

(ii) “Cutera Covenanting Affiliates” shall mean any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Cutera, in each case only for so long as such person or entity satisfies the foregoing requirements.

(iii) “Cutera Current Products” shall mean (1) only the Cutera Combination Products and handpieces listed in Exhibit C under the heading “List of Cutera Combination Products”, (2) only the Cutera Hair Products and handpieces listed in Exhibit D, and (3) only the Solera Titan System which is not sold for use with a PW770 handpiece, in each case of clauses (1), (2) and (3) substantially in the configurations Sold or marketed by Cutera or Cutera Affiliates in the United States as of the Effective Date, solely as described and depicted in the brochures set forth in Exhibit G for each such product, plus only Allowed Improvements thereto, regardless of the model number or product name associated with such product or configuration; any changes to such products that are not Allowed Improvements to the applicable product shall not, nor shall the changed product resulting therefrom, be covered by the covenants set forth in Section 5.6(a). Upon any change to any such products that is not an Allowed Improvement hereunder, the entire changed product in question, even with respect to those portions incorporating technology that was covered as of the Effective Date by the covenants set forth in Section 5.6(a), shall not be covered by the covenants set forth in Section 5.6(a). For purposes of this Section 5.6(e)(iii) and Section 5.6(e)(vi), for clarity, the references to “United States” therein shall not limit the geographical scope to which the covenants contained in Sections 5.6(a) and 5.6(b) apply but shall limit the identity and configurations of the products subject to such covenants.

(iv) “Cutera Parties” shall mean Cutera and Cutera Affiliates, all of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees, attorneys, heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns, customers, suppliers, importers, manufacturers, distributors and any other Third Party that makes, uses, sells, offers for sale or imports any Cutera Current Products.

(v) “Palomar Parties” shall mean Palomar and Palomar Affiliates, all of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees, attorneys, heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns, customers, suppliers, importers, manufacturers, distributors and any other Third Party that makes, uses, sells, offers for sale or imports any Palomar Current Products.

Upon any change to any such products that is not an

Allowed Improvement hereunder, the entire changed product in question, even with respect to those portions incorporating technology that was covered as of the Effective Date by the covenants set forth in Section 5.6(b), shall not be covered by the covenants set forth in Section 5.6(b).

(vii) “Subject Cutera Claims” shall mean all Patents owned or otherwise controlled or for which there is the right to bring any action for infringement (including by way of license) by Cutera or any Cutera Covenanting Affiliate on or after the Effective Date (including, for clarity, all Patents first so owned or controlled (including by way of license) on or after the Effective Date as the result of any Acquisition (as defined in Section 2.2(e)(i)) by Cutera or any Cutera Covenanting Affiliate or any Assignment of this Agreement by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate).

(viii) “Subject Palomar Claims” shall mean all Patents owned or otherwise controlled or for which there is the right to bring any action for infringement (including by way of license) by Palomar or any Palomar Affiliate on or after the Effective Date (including, for clarity all Patents first so owned or controlled (including by way of license) on or after the Effective Date as the result of any Acquisition by Palomar or any Palomar Affiliate or any Assignment of this Agreement by Palomar).

6. Disputes.

6.1. Disputes. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise that relate to any Party’s rights or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedited manner by mutual cooperation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to adhere to the following procedures if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement: by a written notice sent by a Party, any such disputes shall be first referred to executive officers designated by each affected Party (plus Cutera if the affected Party is a Cutera Affiliate) (the date of such notice, the “Dispute Notice Date”). If such executive officers are unable to resolve such a dispute within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice Date, the matter shall be presented to the chief executive officers of such Parties, or their respective designees (which designees must be senior executives), for resolution through good faith discussions. In the event that the chief executive officers or their designees cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of being requested by a Party to resolve a dispute, any such Parties may take such other lawful action as such Party deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including pursuing litigation against the others, except with respect to a Royalty Dispute, which shall be governed by Section 4.7(c).

6.2. Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Sections 4.7(c) and 6.1, but subject to the limited restriction on equitable relief for Palomar in paragraph (II) of Section 8.3(a), in the event of an actual or threatened breach hereunder, the aggrieved Party may seek equitable relief (including restraining orders, specific performance or other injunctive relief) without submitting to the applicable dispute resolution procedure if there is a reasonable likelihood of the occurrence of irreparable harm during the period of the applicable dispute resolution procedure.

6.3. Tolling. The Parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) shall be tolled while the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Sections 4.7(c) and 6.1 are pending, and the Parties shall cooperate in taking all actions reasonably necessary to achieve such a result.

7. Indemnification by Cutera. Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall indemnify, pay on demand, defend and hold Palomar and Palomar Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable costs and expenses of attorneys, professionals and accountants) (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of or are incurred in connection with development or manufacture of any Licensed Products or the marketing, distribution, sale, disposition or use by anyone (including Cutera, Cutera Affiliates, Cutera Sublicensees and any of their agents, resellers and customers) of any such Licensed Products or provision by anyone of any related services. The foregoing shall include, without limitation, indemnification by Cutera and Cutera Affiliates against all Losses that arise out of or are incurred in connection with (i) any representation, warranty or agreement that is made by Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates (or any Cutera Sublicensees or agents or resellers of the foregoing) to or with any reseller, customer or other Third Party with respect to any Licensed Product or related service or that otherwise arises out of any such transaction, or (ii) any claim that any such Licensed Product or part thereof is defective (whether in design, materials, workmanship or otherwise) or that otherwise relates to any attribute, condition or failure of any such Licensed Product, including any claim of product liability (whether brought in tort, warranty, strict liability or other form of action) or negligence. Palomar may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cutera shall have sole control of any such defense, provided that Cutera and Cutera Affiliates, in the defense of any such Losses, shall not, except with the approval of Palomar, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (1) would result in injunctive or other relief being imposed against Palomar, or (2) does not include as a term thereof the giving by the claimant to Palomar an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such Losses.

8. Term; No Termination.

8.1. Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of April 1, 2006 (subject to the last sentence of Section 2 of the Settlement Agreement), and shall remain in full force and effect (unless otherwise shortened as provided in Section 8.4) until the later of (i) the date there are no more Valid Claims contained within the Xxxxxxxx Patents; provided that for purposes only of determining the foregoing date, the Other Xxxxxxxx Patents shall not be taken into consideration, or (ii) the date there are no more Valid Claims subject to the covenants not to xxx contained in Section 5.6, provided however that Cutera and the Cutera Affiliates shall not owe any royalty on Sales made after there are no more Valid Claims contained within the Xxxxxxxx Patents (the “Term”). This Agreement is not terminable for any reason.

8.2. Effect of Expiration. Expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations of the Parties, including the payment of amounts due, which have accrued up to the date of such expiration. Upon expiration of this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 1, 2.2(b), 3.4(a), 4.5(a), 4.5(e), 4.5(g), 4.7 to 4.13, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 6, 7, 8 and 9 shall survive and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

8.3. Consequences of Breach.

(a) Breach and Exclusive Remedies. If Palomar or any Palomar Affiliates on the one hand or Cutera or any Cutera Affiliates on the other breaches this Agreement and such breach remains uncured for more than (i) twenty (20) days in the case of nonpayment or (ii) forty-five (45) days in the event of any other breach, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) after the receipt by the breaching Party of notice specifying the breach and requiring its remedy, provided, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), prior to such notice being delivered, the Parties had fully complied with Section 6.1 (except as may otherwise be provided in Section 6.2);

then on each such occasion, the non-breaching Party shall have the right:

(I) to seek monetary damages for such breach, whether or not cured, and/or

(II) to seek equitable relief (including restraining orders, specific performance or other injunctive relief) to prevent such uncured breach from continuing or such breach from occurring again in the future; provided, that in no event under this paragraph (II) shall Palomar have the right to seek any such equitable relief, under this Agreement, the Settlement Agreement, the Litigation Filings or the Xxxxxxxx Patents, to prevent Cutera or any of Cutera Affiliates or Cutera Sublicensees from making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing any Licensed Product (including those activities necessary for the development and commercialization of any such Licensed Product, such as purchasing supplies and parts for, distributing, marketing, promoting, servicing, testing and exporting the same) to the extent (but only to the extent) such Licensed Product falls within the scope of the sublicense grant set forth in Section 2.1. For avoidance of doubt and without limitation, the foregoing limited restriction on Palomar’s equitable relief under this paragraph (II) shall not apply (i) to any activities within the Consumer Field, (ii) to any of Cutera’s or Cutera Affiliates’ obligations under Section 3.2, or (iii) to any Patents other than the Xxxxxxxx Patents (unless and only to the extent that for this clause (iii) Palomar’s covenant not to xxx under Section 5.6(a) should apply, and then only because of such covenant and not the foregoing proviso of this paragraph (II));

provided that:

(A) If Cutera materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such material breach within the applicable time period specified above, without prejudice to any of Palomar’s other rights or remedies under this Section 8.3, Palomar may elect by written notice from Palomar to Cutera to require from the date of Cutera’s receipt of notice from Palomar of the occurrence of such material, uncured breach until the end of the Term that (i) the royalty rate payable under Section 4.4 shall increase from seven and one half percent (7.5%) to fifteen percent (15%), and (ii) all past royalties owed to Palomar as a result of such royalty increase shall be due with the next payment due Palomar under Section 4.11; and

(B) the Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Section 8.3 are the sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement, and no breach of this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement or the Litigation Filings shall constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations set forth herein.

(b) Exemplary Material and Non-Material Breaches. To clarify what amounts to a material and non-material breach under this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that:

(i) Breach of the following is material:

(1) Substantial non-compliance with the audit process specified in Section 4.10;

(2) provisions limiting the sublicense grant set forth in Section 2.1 to outside the Consumer Field (including Section 2.1 itself and Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) and 3.2);

(3) Failure to pay any amounts owed Palomar hereunder after notice from Palomar in accordance with Section 8.3(a) and Cutera’s failure to cure within the 20-day period provided therein;

(4) provisions limiting the covenants not to xxx set forth in Section 5.6 to the Professional Field;

(5) failing to comply with the process of resolving any Royalty Dispute (including escrowing all Disputed Amounts in the Escrow Account as required by Section 4.7(a)) and abiding by the arbitrators’ decision; and

(6) all other provisions that expressly refer to “material breach” hereunder;

(ii) Breach of the following is non-material:

(1) unintentional underpayment under Section 4.2(a) (as set forth in Section 4.2(b));

(2) all obligations concerning Excluded Third Parties (including provisions in Sections 1.1(b), 1.7, 2.2(a), 2.2(e) and 9.3(a));

(3) unintentional failure to pay all amounts owed Palomar hereunder; and

(4) patent marking as required by Section 2.2(c).

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing list of material and non-material breaches is illustrative only and is not intended to be exhaustive examples of either category of breach.

(i) Cutera and Cutera Affiliates acknowledge and agree that that the damages to Palomar and its business resulting from any material, uncured breach by any of them may not be susceptible to precise determination, and thus that the increase in the royalty rate to fifteen percent (15%) as provided above is a reasonable approximation of such damage and shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and not a penalty.

(ii) Cutera, Cutera Affiliates, Palomar and Palomar Affiliates shall not directly or indirectly (a) bring, pursue, maintain, assert or raise, (b) for Cutera and Cutera Affiliates, allow, cause or support any Cutera Sublicensee to bring, pursue, maintain, assert or raise or (c) cause or support any Third Party to bring, pursue, maintain, assert or raise (in each case including in connection with any action brought by a Party or its Affiliates), in each case any claim, counterclaim, defense or other contention or assertion in any court or other governmental forum of competent jurisdiction (including any patent office) contrary to the agreements of the Parties in this Section 8.3 (including regarding any aspect or application of the fifteen percent (15%) royalty rate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

(iii) Cutera, Cutera Affiliates, Palomar and Palomar Affiliates each acknowledges and agrees that all the provisions of this Section 8.3 are reasonable, valid and necessary for the adequate protection of each of the Parties’ interests (including, for Palomar, its interest in and to the Xxxxxxxx Patents), especially in light of the fact that this Agreement is non-terminable, and that none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement without all of the provisions of this Section 8.3 (including, for Palomar, that Palomar would not have granted to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates the non-exclusive sublicense under the Xxxxxxxx Patents provided for in Section 2 for the full Term even if Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate breaches this Agreement without all the provisions of this Section 8.3).

(iv) In connection with any material, uncured breach by a Party or any of its Affiliates, the breaching Party and its applicable Affiliates shall reimburse the non-breaching Party for all reasonable costs and expenses of attorneys, professionals and accountants incurred by such non-breaching Party to respond to such material breach.

8.4. Bankruptcy. If Palomar or Cutera is subject to a petition for relief under any bankruptcy legislation, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or is subject to the appointment of a receiver for all or a substantial part of such Party’s assets, and such petition, assignment or appointment is not dismissed or vacated within sixty (60) days, then the other Party may elect by written notice to such Party to shorten (but not extend) the Term from the period specified in Section 8.1 to one hundred and eighty (180) days after the end of such sixty (60) period.

8.5. Patent Challenges.

(a) Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall not directly or indirectly (i) bring, pursue, maintain, assert or raise, (ii) allow, cause or support any Cutera Sublicensee to bring, pursue, maintain, assert or raise or (iii) cause or support any Third Party to bring, pursue, maintain, assert or raise (in each case including in connection with any action brought by Palomar to enforce Cutera’s obligation to pay royalties hereunder), in each case any claim, counterclaim, defense or other contention or assertion in any court or other governmental forum of competent jurisdiction (including any patent office) seeking a judgment or other decision that any claims of the Xxxxxxxx Patents are invalid or unenforceable or not patentable or otherwise not proper (any such claim or other assertion, a “Patent Challenge”). In the event that any Patent Challenge is

brought, pursued, maintained, asserted or raised in contravention of this Section 8.5(a), Cutera and Cutera Affiliates each understands and agrees that, in addition and without prejudice to any of Palomar’s other rights or remedies hereunder, (1) Cutera shall be in material breach of this Agreement, and (2) Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall reimburse Palomar for all reasonable costs and expenses of attorneys, professionals and accountants incurred by Palomar and MGH to respond to and defend any such Patent Challenge.

(b) At any time in Palomar’s sole discretion or in the event that (x) the enforceability or legitimacy of the prohibition on Patent Challenges contained in Section 8.5(a) is challenged in any court or other governmental forum by Cutera, any Cutera Affiliates or any Third Party (including any governmental agency), or (y) such prohibition is held to be unenforceable or otherwise not legal by any court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, then Palomar may elect by written notice to Cutera, in its sole discretion, at any time, to replace such prohibition in full with the following provision: with respect to any Patent Challenge, if either (1) it is determined by a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, unappealable or unappealed within the time allowed for appeal, that any of the claims of the Xxxxxxxx Patents subject to such Patent Challenge are not held invalid or unenforceable, or (2) such Patent Challenge is not maintained or diligently pursued after being brought before any such determination, in addition and without prejudice to any of Palomar’s other rights or remedies hereunder, (i) from the date such Patent Challenge is first made and thereafter, the royalty rate payable under Section 4.4 shall increase from seven and one half percent (7.5%) to ten percent (10%) (and for any such time that the fifteen percent (15%) royalty is in effect as provided in Section 8.3, to seventeen and one-half percent (17.5%)), and (ii) Cutera and Cutera Affiliates shall reimburse Palomar for all reasonable costs and expenses of attorneys, professionals and accountants incurred by Palomar and MGH to respond to and defend such Patent Challenge. All additional royalties owed to Palomar as a result of such royalty increase shall be due within ten (10) days of the earlier of the date of such determination or the termination of such Patent Challenge before such determination.

(c) Cutera and Cutera Affiliates each acknowledges and agrees that the Cutera Hair Products and the Cutera Hair Modules, when used as part of a Cutera Combination Product, existing as of the Effective Date, infringe Valid Claim(s) of the Xxxxxxxx Patents, and Cutera and Cutera Affiliates each covenants not to directly or indirectly (i) bring, pursue, maintain, assert or raise, (ii) allow, cause or support any Cutera Sublicensee to bring, pursue, maintain, assert or raise or (iii) cause or support any Third Party to bring, pursue, maintain, assert or raise (in each case including in connection with any action brought by Palomar to enforce Palomar’s obligation to pay royalties pursuant to Section 4.4), in each case any claim, counterclaim, defense or other contention or assertion in any judicial, governmental or other forum seeking a judgment or other decision that any of the foregoing items do not infringe any such Valid Claim(s). In the event that any such claim, counterclaim, defense or other contention or assertion is brought, pursued, maintained, asserted or raised in contravention of this Section 8.5(c), Cutera understands and agrees that it shall be in material breach of this Agreement.

(d) Cutera and Cutera Affiliates each acknowledges and agrees that all the provisions of this Section 8.5 are reasonable, valid and necessary for the adequate protection of Palomar’s interest in and to the Xxxxxxxx Patents, and that Palomar would not have granted to Cutera and Cutera Affiliates the non-exclusive sublicense under the Xxxxxxxx Patents provided

for in Section 2 without all of the provisions of this Section 8.5. Palomar shall have the right, at any time in its sole discretion, to strike this Section 8.5 in part or in full from this Agreement, and Palomar shall have no liability of any kind whatsoever as a result of the presence or absence of this Section 8.5. This Section 8.5 shall not be understood or applied to alter any standing or jurisdictional requirements that may apply to any Patent Challenge.

9. General.

9.1. Entire Agreement; Counterparts. Other than with respect to the Settlement Agreement and the Litigation Filings, this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Appendices) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all previous agreements, practices or courses of dealings between the Parties, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with the same force and effect as if each of the signatories had executed the same instrument.

9.2. No Agency or Joint Venture Relationship. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any association, partnership, joint venture or relationship of principal, agent, master or servant between the Parties hereto or, in the case of Palomar, any Palomar Affiliates, or, in the case of Cutera, any Cutera Affiliates, or to provide any Party with the right, power or authority to incur any obligation or make any representations, warranties or guarantees on behalf of any other Party.

9.3. Assignment.

(a) Cutera shall not, nor shall any Cutera Affiliate with respect to its rights and obligations hereunder, assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, or otherwise Transfer any of its rights or interests, nor delegate any of its obligations, hereunder, in any case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Palomar in its sole discretion, provided that (1) Cutera may assign this Agreement as a whole to a Cutera Affiliate if such Cutera Affiliate assumes, and has the ability to perform, all of the obligations of Cutera under this Agreement, whereupon upon completion of any such permitted assignment, such Cutera Affiliate shall be treated as “Cutera” hereunder for all purposes, or (2) Cutera may assign this Agreement as a whole, and any Cutera Affiliate may assign its rights and obligations hereunder as whole, to Cutera’s or such Cutera Affiliate’s (as applicable) surviving or resulting entity in the event of an acquisition of Cutera or such Cutera Affiliate (as applicable) or any merger or other combination involving Cutera or such Cutera Affiliate (as applicable), provided that none of the Third Party(ies) involved in any such acquisition, merger or combination (including any successor entity or acquirer) is an Excluded Third Party. Any attempt to assign, Transfer or delegate all or any portion of this Agreement in violation of this Section 9.3(a) shall be void and constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Any of the following transactions shall, without limitation, be deemed an “Assignment” of a Party or any Cutera Affiliate for purposes of this Agreement (and thus subject to the prohibition set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.3(a)): (i) a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving an entity pursuant to which the stockholders of such entity immediately preceding such transaction hold less than a majority of the equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction; (ii) any

“person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes a “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under such Act) (other than the applicable entity), directly or indirectly, of securities of such entity representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of such entity’s then outstanding securities; or (iii) a sale or other disposition by an entity of assets or earning power aggregating a majority of the assets or earning power of such entity or those assets relating primarily to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(b) Palomar may assign this Agreement as a whole, effective upon written notice to Cutera, (1) to a Palomar Affiliate if such Palomar Affiliate assumes, and has the ability to perform, all of the obligations of Palomar under this Agreement, or (2) to any entity as part of any Assignment provided that such entity assumes, and has the ability to perform, all of the obligations of Palomar under this Agreement. Any attempt to assign all or any portion of this Agreement in violation of this Section 9.3(b) shall be void.

(c) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the Parties and Cutera Affiliates. For clarity and without limiting the generality of this Section 9.3(c), any permitted assignee of Cutera or any Cutera Affiliate pursuant to Section 9.3(a) shall be bound by all of Cutera’s or such Cutera Affiliate’s, as applicable, obligations hereunder, including its royalty obligations under Section 4.4. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including in Sections 3.2(e) and 3.3(d)) and for the potential non-Party indemnitees identified in Section 7, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries, either express or implied, to this Agreement.

9.4. Severability. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Party or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held to be invalid or unenforceable (including the terms of Section 8.5) by a court of competent jurisdiction, then (i) the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to Parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law, and (ii) the Parties hereto covenant and agree to renegotiate any such invalid or unenforceable term, covenant or application thereof in good faith in order to provide a reasonably acceptable alternative to the term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof that is invalid or unenforceable, it being the intent of the Parties that the basic purposes of this Agreement are to be effectuated.

9.5. Waivers; Amendments; Supplements. Except as expressly provided herein, no waiver by any Party of a breach of any covenant or condition of this Agreement by any other Party shall be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement or any Exhibit hereunder may not be changed or amended except by a writing expressly referring to this Agreement signed by both Parties.

9.6. Jurisdiction. Subject to and without limiting Section 4.7, the Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to

this Agreement or any agreement or document delivered in connection herewith or therewith, and agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such state or federal court. Each of the Parties consents to the jurisdiction of such court or courts and agrees that the service upon it of a summons and complaint by ordinary mail shall be sufficient for such court or courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over the Parties. The Parties waive any objection to any action or proceeding in any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on the basis of forum non-convenes, lack of personal jurisdiction or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any action or proceeding may not be brought in any such court because all such courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the Parties may bring such action or proceeding in a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

9.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws; provided that any dispute relating to the scope, validity, enforceability, infringement, patentability or misuse of any Patent shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of the jurisdiction in which such Patent originates, except to the extent such dispute is within the scope of Section 8.5, in which case the provisions of Section 8.5 shall govern such dispute.

9.8. Certain Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the Parties hereto shall bear its own costs and expenses arising out of the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement.

9.9. Cumulative Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no remedy granted to any Party herein shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each remedy shall be cumulative with every other remedy herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

9.10. Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

9.11. Parties Advised by Counsel. This Agreement has been negotiated between unrelated Parties who are sophisticated and knowledgeable in the matters contained in this Agreement and who have acted in their own self interest. In addition, each Party has had the opportunity to seek advice of legal counsel. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed against any Party to this Agreement because that Party or any attorney or representative for that Party drafted or participated in the drafting of this Agreement.

9.12. Compliance. The Parties shall comply with all federal, state and local laws (including regulations, orders and ordinances) now or hereafter enacted, of any jurisdiction in which performance occurs or may occur hereunder. Without limitation, each Party hereby acknowledges that the rights and obligations of this Agreement are subject to the laws and regulations of the United States relating to the export of products and technical information, and it shall comply with all such laws and regulations. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Party shall be solely responsible for its violations of any of the foregoing.

9.13. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, approvals, consents or other communications to be given or delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (i) when delivered in person or by courier or confirmed facsimile; (ii) upon confirmation of receipt when sent by certified mail, return receipt requested; or (iii) upon receipt when sent by reputable private international courier with established tracking capability (such as DHL, FedEx, or UPS), postage pre-paid, and addressed as set forth as the case may be, to the noticed Party at the address set forth below, or such other address as a Party may specify by written notice to the other.

List of Cutera Combination Products

CoolGlide Xeo, including the base unit and one or more of the following handpieces: CV Nd:YAG, Excel Nd:YAG, PW770, Titan, LP560, OPS600 and Acutip.

Solera Opus System, including the base unit and one or more of the following handpieces: XX000, XX000, XXX000, Xxxxx and Acutip.

Narrative Regarding Definition of Cutera Combination Products

By way of example, and without limitation, if a Cutera Other Product includes an energy source module that is not a Cutera Hair Module, and Cutera or one or more Cutera Affiliates or Cutera Sublicensees begins at some time to market such energy source module for hair removal, such energy source module shall be deemed a Cutera Hair Module and all Sales of such Cutera product (previously deemed Cutera Other Product) shall thereafter be treated as Sales of Cutera Hair Products or Cutera Combination Products hereunder.

For clarity and without limitation, a product that was one type of product, e.g., a Cutera Other Product, may become another type of product, e.g., a Cutera Combination Product, for the reasons described above and in Section 4.4 (e.g., marketing of an energy source module for hair removal). However, product type is determined at the time of Sale. Thus, once a specific example of a Cutera product with a unique serial number is Sold, its product type is determined. That is, for example and without limitation, at the time of Sale, if a Cutera product is determined to be a Cutera Other Product (i.e., it is not capable of containing or using a Cutera Hair Module, e.g., the Solera Titan System), when a specific Cutera Other Product with a unique serial number is Sold it shall remain a Cutera Other Product hereunder even if such system is later modified to allow a Cutera Hair Module (e.g., PW770 handpiece) to be Sold for use with such specific Cutera Other Product. Thereafter, however, such Cutera product (e.g., modified Solera Titan System) shall be a Cutera Combination Product and future Sales of such product, that would previously have been categorized as Cutera Other Products upon their Sale, because they are now capable of using a Cutera Hair Module, shall be treated upon Sale as Cutera Combination Products hereunder.

Similarly, if a Cutera product is determined to be a Cutera Hair Product (i.e., it is not capable of containing or using a Cutera Other Module, e.g., the CoolGlide CV system), when a specific Cutera Hair Product with a unique serial number is Sold it shall remain a Cutera Hair Product hereunder even if such system is later modified to allow a Cutera Other Module (e.g., the Titan handpiece) to be Sold for use with such specific Cutera Hair Product. Thereafter, however, such Cutera product (e.g., modified CoolGlide CV System) shall be a Cutera Combination Product and future Sales of such product, that would previously have been categorized as Cutera Hair Products upon their Sale, because they now may use a Cutera Other Module, shall be treated upon Sale as Cutera Combination Products hereunder.

As a further example, as of and prior to the Effective Date, Cutera’s CoolGlide CV system is a Cutera Hair Product because it is capable of using only a Cutera Hair Module (i.e., a

CV Nd:YAG handpiece) and is not capable of using a Cutera Other Module. As of the Effective Date, the CoolGlide XEO system is a Cutera Combination Product because it is capable of using both at least one Cutera Other Module (e.g., Titan handpiece) and one Cutera Hair Module (e.g., a CV Nd:YAG handpiece or an Excel Nd:YAG handpiece). Cutera markets to its customers that they can “upgrade” the systems they buy to include additional features but, in many instances, this means that the customer returns one system and purchases a new system. For example, if a customer who purchased a CoolGlide CV wants to have the ability to perform skin tightening, the customer shall agree to return the CV and purchase a CoolGlide XEO system including a Cutera Hair Module (e.g., a CV Nd:YAG handpiece or an Excel Nd:YAG handpiece) and a Cutera Other Module (e.g., the Titan handpiece). Though Cutera markets this as an “upgrade”, it does not change the categorization of either the CV or XEO systems. The CV remains a Cutera Hair Product because as of its date of Sale it was not capable of using a Cutera Other Module.

Exhibit D

Cutera Hair Products

CoolGlide CV System*

CoolGlide Excel System*

CoolGlide Vantage System*

*	Including associated handpieces and other accessories for each of the above systems. As of the Effective Date, the systems listed above in this Exhibit D are only sold with the CoolGlide Nd:YAG handpiece (single spot size) or the CV Nd:YAG handpiece or Excel Nd:YAG handpiece (variable spot size).

For clarity and without limitation, in addition to using optical radiation to remove hair, a Cutera Hair Product may further use optical radiation for treatment of skin (including treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions, acne, wrinkles, scars and tattoos, and for other dermatological applications), and other treatment or cosmetic purpose(s).

Cutera Sells a Cutera Combination Product (“Product One”), e.g., a CoolGlide Xeo system, without a CV Nd:YAG handpiece or Excel Nd:YAG handpiece* and with only a Cutera Other Module, e.g., a Titan handpiece. The Net Sales attributable to such Sale is $100. No royalty is owed Palomar on such Sale.

Cutera then Sells a Cutera Hair Module, e.g., a CV Nd:YAG handpiece or Excel Nd:YAG handpiece *, for use with Product One, with Net Sales attributable to the Sale of such Cutera Hair Module of $40. The Aggregate Net Sales for Product One, with the Cutera Other Module and the Cutera Hair Module, is $140. Cutera owes Palomar royalties of $5.25 ($140 x 50% x 7.5%).

Cutera then Sells a second Cutera Hair Module, e.g., a PW770 handpiece, for use with Product One, with Net Sales attributable to the Sale of such Cutera Hair Module of $32. The Aggregate Net Sales for Product One, with the Cutera Other Module and the two Cutera Hair Modules, is $172. Cutera has paid Palomar the previous royalty of $5.25. The total amount of royalty now owed is $9.03 ($172 x 70% x 7.5%), so Cutera owes Palomar royalties of $3.78 ($9.03 - $5.25).

Cutera then Sells a second Cutera Other Module, e.g., a LP560 handpiece, for use with Product One, with Net Sales attributable to the Sale of such Cutera Other Module of $28. The Aggregate Net Sales for Product One, with the two Cutera Other Modules and the two Cutera Hair Modules, is $200. Cutera has paid Palomar the previous royalty of $9.03. The total amount of royalty now owed is $10.05 ($200 x 70% x 7.5%), so Cutera owes Palomar royalties of $1.47 ($10.05 - $9.03).

Example Two:

Cutera Sells a Cutera Combination Product (“Product Two”), e.g., a CoolGlide Xeo system, with only a Cutera Hair Module, e.g., a CV Nd:YAG handpiece or Excel Nd:YAG handpiece *. The Net Sales attributable to such Sale is $160. Cutera owes Palomar royalties of $12 ($160 x 100% x 7.5%).

Cutera then Sells a Cutera Other Module, e.g., a Titan handpiece, for use with Product Two, with Net Sales attributable to the Sale of such Cutera Other Module of $90. The Aggregate Net Sales for Product Two, with the Cutera Hair Module and the Cutera Other Module, is $250. Cutera has paid Palomar the previous royalty of $12. The total amount of royalty now owed is $9.38 ($250 x 50% x 7.5%), so Cutera may take a credit of $2.62 ($12 - $9.38) on future royalty payments owed Palomar.

Cutera then Sells a second Cutera Hair Module, e.g., a ProWave 770 handpiece, and a second Cutera Other Module, e.g., another Titan handpiece, for use with Product Two, with Net Sales attributable to both those Sales of Cutera Modules of $112. The Aggregate Net Sales for Product Two, with the four Cutera Modules, is $362. Cutera has paid Palomar a total royalty of $9.38, first paying $12 and then taking a credit of $2.62. The total amount of royalty now owed is $19.01 ($362 x 70% x 7.5%), so Cutera owes Palomar royalties of $9.63 ($19.01 - $9.38).

Example Three:

Cutera Sells a Cutera Combination Product (“Product Three”), e.g., a Solera Opus system, with a Cutera Hair Module, e.g., a PW770 handpiece, and a Cutera Other Module, e.g., a Titan handpiece. The Net Sales attributable to such Sale is $190. Cutera owes Palomar royalties of $7.13 ($190 x 50% x 7.5%).

Cutera then Sells a Cutera Other Module, e.g., a LP560 handpiece, for use with Product Three, with Net Sales attributable to the Sale of such Cutera Other Module of $70. The Aggregate Net Sales for Product Three, with the Cutera Hair Module and the two Cutera Other Modules, is $260. Cutera has paid Palomar the previous royalty of $7.13. The total amount of royalty now owed is $9.75 ($260 x 50% x 7.5%), so Cutera owes Palomar royalties of $2.62 ($9.75 - $7.13).

Cutera then Sells a second Cutera Hair Module, e.g., another PW770 handpiece, for use with Product Three, with Net Sales attributable to the Sale of such Cutera Hair Module of $75. The Aggregate Net Sales for Product Three, with the four Cutera Modules, is $335. Cutera has paid Palomar the previous royalty of $9.75. The total amount of royalty now owed is $17.59 ($335 x 70% x 7.5%), so Cutera owes Palomar royalties of $7.84 ($17.59 - $9.75).

*	A CV Nd:YAG handpiece or Excel Nd:YAG handpiece in combination with the Nd:YAG laser source in the CoolGlide Xeo system comprises the Cutera Hair Module.

Xx. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx

Chief Executive Officer and President

Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc.

00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,

Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000

Dear Xxx,

Enclosed on behalf of Xxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx are two executed originals of the Development and License Agreement dated February 14, 2003, which represents an offer to enter into a collaboration with Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc. for the development and commercialization of light-based, consumer products and systems for personal use for female hair management.

As we discussed, if Palomar were to develop a Female Product Lotion, as that term is defined in the above referenced agreement, which provides Xxxxxxxx with product exclusivity, Xxxxxxxx would be prepared to increase the payments for such lotion from 3% to 6% of Net Sales. Product exclusivity within this context would mean that the device, i.e., a Light-Based Hair Management Product intended for use in or marketed in the Female Field, works only with such lotion and that such lotion would enjoy intellectual property protection such that no other party would be legally permitted to commercialize the lotion.

We look forward to working together to advance this technology to its next steps.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Xxxx X. Xxxx

Xxxx X. Xxxx Director,

Business Development

Xxxxxxxx’x total obligations to make payments to Palomar in connection with Palomar’s performance of its obligations under the Initial R&D Plan shall be as set forth in Section 6.1(b). In the event that Palomar’s costs and expenses relating to the Initial R&D Plan (including obtaining Regulatory Approval for the First Female Product in the United States) exceed the amount to be paid by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar with respect to such activities, then Palomar shall bear such excess costs and expenses unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties or except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 1.6(b).

(iv) Reporting. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter in which R&D Activities are performed, Xxxxxxxx shall provide to the R&D Committee a written progress report, which report shall describe the R&D Activities Xxxxxxxx has performed, or caused to be performed, during such Calendar Quarter, evaluate the work

performed in relation to the goals of the R&D Plan, and provide such other information as may be required by the R&D Plan or reasonably requested by the R&D Committee with respect to the R&D Activities.

(v) Xxxxxxxx Costs. Xxxxxxxx shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses (including all its Costs) that it incurs in connection with the R&D Activities.

1.4 R&D Committee.

(a) Formation and Authority of R&D Committee. Palomar and Xxxxxxxx shall establish a research oversight and management committee (the “R&D Committee”), which shall oversee the R&D Activities performed by the parties and approve any changes in the R&D Plan.

(b) Composition of R&D Committee. The R&D Committee shall be comprised of two (2) representatives of each of Xxxxxxxx and Palomar. Each party shall designate one (1) of its representatives to be such party’s “R&D Committee Leader.” Each party shall notify the other of its initial representatives and R&D Committee Leader within ten (10) business days after the execution of this Agreement. From time to time, each party may substitute its representatives or R&D Committee Leader on three (3) days’ prior written notice to the other party.

(c) Procedural Rules of R&D Committee. The R&D Committee shall meet at least once each Calendar Quarter, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties, with the location of such meetings alternating between Palomar and Xxxxxxxx facilities. In the event that either party hosts a R&D Committee meeting at a site outside of Eastern Massachusetts, the hosting party shall reimburse the other party for all reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred by the other party in having its members of the R&D Committee attend such meeting. The R&D Committee Leaders shall send notices and agendas for all regular R&D Committee meetings to all R&D Committee members. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its representatives to attend the meetings of the R&D Committee. A representative of Xxxxxxxx shall be designated at all times to act as the chair of the R&D Committee (the “R&D Committee Chair”). The R&D Committee shall adopt such standing rules as shall be necessary for its work. A quorum of the R&D Committee shall exist whenever there is present at a meeting at least one (1) representative appointed by each party. Members of the R&D Committee may attend a meeting either in person or by telephone, video conference or similar means in which each participant can hear what is said by the other participants.

Subject to Section 1.4(d), the R&D Committee shall take all action by (i) consensus of the R&D Committee Leader of both Xxxxxxxx and Palomar, or if the R&D Committee Leader for either party is not present at the meeting, the other representative of such party present at a meeting at which a quorum exists, or (ii) by written resolution approved by all of the members of the R&D Committee.

(d) Resolution of Disputes Arising Among the R&D Committee. Issues coming before the R&D Committee that require action, approval or resolution and for which the

-6-

R&D Committee is unable to reach consensus as provided in Section 1.4(c) on a mutually acceptable action, approval or resolution, shall be resolved by the R&D Committee Chair, provided, however, that at the written request of the Palomar R&D Committee Leader, prior to final resolution of any dispute by the R&D Committee Chair, a meeting shall be held between the Chief Executive Officer of Palomar and the Vice President of Research and Development of Xxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, who shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution (subject to Board of Directors or equivalent approval, where applicable). In the event of any such escalation of a dispute, Xxxxxxxx shall retain the final right of decision, except that in case of any disputed matter, the resolution of which by Xxxxxxxx would result in (i) a significant delay in the timetable for the development or Regulatory Approval of the First Female Product, or (ii) an increase in the costs relating to the development or Regulatory Approval of the First Female Product, such change shall require the mutual written consent of both parties unless, with respect to clause (ii) only (and not clause (i)), Xxxxxxxx agrees to bear one hundred percent (100%) of such additional costs. This Section 1.4(d) shall not apply to the procedure established by the parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a).

(e) Minutes of R&D Committee Meetings. The party hosting any meeting shall appoint one person (who need not be a member of the R&D Committee) to attend the meeting and record the minutes of the meeting. Such minutes shall be circulated to the parties promptly following the meeting for review, comment and distribution. Such minutes shall be deemed approved by both of the parties unless a party objects to the accuracy of such minutes by providing written notice to the other party within ten (10) days of receipt of such minutes. Any modifications to the R&D Plan approved at a R&D Committee meeting shall be considered approved and shall constitute an amendment thereto upon R&D Committee ratification of the meeting minutes related thereto.

(f) Limitations on Authority of R&D Committee. Each party to this Agreement shall retain the rights, powers, and discretion granted to it under this Agreement, and no such rights, powers, or discretion shall be delegated to or vested in the R&D Committee unless such delegation or vesting of rights is expressly provided for in this Agreement or the parties expressly so agree in writing. Except in the case of amendments to the R&D Plan made pursuant to Section 1.4(e), the R&D Committee shall not have the power to amend or modify this Agreement, which may only be amended or modified as provided in Section 14.7.

1.5 R&D Records. Palomar and Xxxxxxxx each shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, records of its respective R&D Activities in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for patent and regulatory purposes, which shall be complete and accurate and shall fully and properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of its respective R&D Activities, and which shall be retained by such party for at least five (5) years after the termination of this Agreement, or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law or for the pendency of any application for Patent. Each party shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to inspect and copy any such records; provided, however, that Palomar shall not have any obligation to make such records available to Xxxxxxxx during the Restricted Access Period, to the extent that such records (a) contain information other than information as to which Xxxxxxxx has a right of evaluation during

-7-

such period pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i), or (b) concern Joint Inventions and related Joint Technology with respect to which Palomar has no disclosure obligation pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i).

1.6 Xxxxxxxx’x First Decision Point.

(a) The First Decision Point. On or before the First Decision Point, Xxxxxxxx shall determine in its sole discretion whether it desires to continue participating in the development and commercialization of the Female Product(s). In the event that Xxxxxxxx determines on or before the First Decision Point not to continue participating in such development and commercialization, Xxxxxxxx shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(d). In the event that Xxxxxxxx fails to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(d), Xxxxxxxx shall be deemed to have elected to continue participating in such development and commercialization and Xxxxxxxx shall make the First Development Completion Payment to Palomar pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i) on or before the First Development Completion Payment Date.

(b) Assumption that Pre-Market Approval Not Required. The Initial R&D Plan has been prepared and the initial R&D Payments have been determined on the assumption that the First Female Product will be a 510(k) Product and not a PMA Product. In the event that the First Female Product is determined by the FDA to be a PMA Product, Xxxxxxxx may elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.4(b), or elect to continue participating in such development and commercialization for such product. In the event that Xxxxxxxx elects to continue participating in such development and commercialization, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon a revised R&D Plan and additional R&D Payments required to implement and carry out such revised plan, provided that, subject to Xxxxxxxx’x right to credit certain amounts pursuant to the proviso in this sentence, Xxxxxxxx shall be solely responsible for any incremental Costs of Palomar and Xxxxxxxx, and shall pay Palomar additional R&D Payments in an amount equal to Palomar’s incremental Costs, which result from or relate to classification of such product as a PMA Product; provided, however, that fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of such incremental Costs, not to exceed in the aggregate two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000), are creditable by Xxxxxxxx against the First Development Completion Payment only (and no other payments owed by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar hereunder), if any, owed by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar. Following the adoption by the parties of such revised R&D Plan, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement and carry out the R&D Activities set out in such R&D Plan.

1.7 Additional Light-Based Hair Management Product(s). After the Restricted Access Period and during the Exclusivity Period, Palomar shall promptly notify Xxxxxxxx in writing of each Light-Based Hair Management Product other than the First Female Product, which (a) has an application in the Female Field, (b) is reasonably expected to be commercially successful, and (c) is Controlled by Palomar (each an “Additional Light-Based Hair Management Product”). Palomar shall provide to Xxxxxxxx with respect to each Additional Light-Based Hair Management Product a report (the “Additional Product Report”) providing material data and information Controlled by Palomar, in whole or in part, concerning (i) such product’s safety and efficacy, (ii) its commercial potential, and (iii) the intellectual property rights Controlled by Palomar, in whole or in part, claiming or covering such product, and

-8-

contractual obligations of Palomar and any known patent-related or other restriction that Palomar reasonably believes would limit or otherwise affect the parties’ rights to fully Exploit such product. In the event that Xxxxxxxx desires to develop and commercialize such Additional Light-Based Hair Management Product in the Female Field jointly with Palomar, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon an R&D plan (with respect to each additional product, a “Supplemental R&D Plan”) and R&D payments (with respect to each additional product, “Supplemental R&D Payments”) for such product. Upon the parties entering into a mutually acceptable written agreement adopting the Supplemental R&D Plan and the Supplemental R&D Payments with respect to such Additional Light-Based Hair Management Product, references herein to the “R&D Plan” and “R&D Payments” shall automatically be deemed to include references to the “Supplemental R&D Plan,” and “Supplemental R&D Payments,” respectively. Any such Additional Light-Based Hair Management Product, and the parties’ rights and obligations with respect thereto, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including ARTICLE VI, except to the extent that any term or condition (A) applies expressly or by clear implication only to the First Female Product developed pursuant to this Agreement, or (B) is supplemented, modified or replaced by the Supplemental R&D Plan or Supplemental R&D Payments, or is otherwise amended by the parties pursuant to Section 14.7. All information contained in the Additional Product Report shall be treated as Palomar Confidential Information hereunder. This Section 1.7 shall terminate in its entirety when the Exclusivity Period ends or is terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxxxxx’x election not to develop or commercialize jointly with Palomar any Additional Light-Based Hair Management Product shall not in any way diminish or otherwise affect the licenses or other rights that are granted by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx in this Agreement.

1.8 Palomar Costs.

(a) Additional Activities.

(i) Xxxxxxxx may request that Palomar perform or have performed activities or services during the term of this Agreement, provided Xxxxxxxx pay Palomar’s reasonable Costs arising therefrom in accordance with this Section 1.8(a), pursuant to various provisions of this Agreement (such activities and services in each case, “Additional Activities”). Additional Activities include, without limitation, any activities or services to be performed by Palomar that are subsequently added to the Initial R&D Plan. This Section 1.8 specifies the procedure whereby Xxxxxxxx shall pay Palomar’s Costs for the performance of Additional Activities:

(1) With respect to all incremental out-of-pocket costs and expenses to be incurred by Palomar in the performance of Additional Activities, including all costs for materials, Palomar shall have the right to invoice Xxxxxxxx for fifty percent (50%) of such out-of-pocket costs and expenses upon Palomar issuing a purchase order to a Third Party giving rise to them, and Xxxxxxxx shall pay Palomar such amounts within forty-five (45) days of receiving such invoice from Palomar with no right of set-off. For all Palomar’s incremental Costs incurred in performing Additional Activities, other than those out-of-pocket costs and expenses already paid by Xxxxxxxx in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Palomar shall invoice Xxxxxxxx on a monthly basis for all Costs already incurred by Palomar, and Xxxxxxxx shall pay Palomar in full within forty-five (45) days of receiving such invoice from

-9-

Palomar with no right of set-off or credit. Palomar shall provide to Xxxxxxxx with any such invoice a detailed summary of any and all Costs incurred by Palomar during the period covered by such invoice, which summary shall be accompanied by documentation of any such Costs. For the avoidance of doubt, incremental out-of-pocket costs and other Costs incurred by Palomar in connection with Additional Activities shall include only those costs which are in addition to amounts that Palomar was to incur prior to Xxxxxxxx’x request that it perform such Additional Activities, and any amount allocable to R&D Activities that the R&D Committee cancels, reduces or for which Additional Activities are substituted, shall be applied to offset or credit costs incurred by Palomar in connection with Additional Activities.

(2) At Xxxxxxxx’x request and prior to the performance of any Additional Activities, Palomar shall provide Xxxxxxxx with a reasonably detailed good faith estimate of Palomar’s Costs for the performance of Additional Activities after receiving from Xxxxxxxx a reasonably detailed description of such Additional Activities (the “Estimate”). At Xxxxxxxx’x request, the parties shall meet and discuss the Estimate. In the event that Palomar reasonably anticipates that Palomar’s Costs for the performance of Additional Activities will be greater than the applicable Estimate (an “Overrun”), then Palomar shall, prior to performing the portion of Additional Activities which will result in the Overrun, notify Xxxxxxxx and provide Xxxxxxxx with a reasonably detailed accounting of the difference between Palomar’s revised estimate of its Costs and the original applicable Estimate. At Xxxxxxxx’x option, (A) some or all of the remaining Additional Activities shall be postponed or canceled, or (B) Palomar shall continue to perform such Additional Activities and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to provide for an increase in the Estimate to cover any such difference, which increase shall be due and payable as provided in Section 1.8(a)(i)(1); provided, however, that in the event that Xxxxxxxx elects to have Palomar proceed with such Additional Activities, Xxxxxxxx shall not be required to pay to Palomar any Costs that exceed the Estimate for the relevant activities by more than twenty percent (20%) without Xxxxxxxx’x prior written consent (the “Authorized Overruns”).

(b) Books. Palomar shall maintain materially complete and accurate books, records and accounts that, in reasonable detail, fairly reflect any Costs to be paid by Xxxxxxxx pursuant to this Section 1.8 in conformity with GAAP. Such books, records and accounts shall be Palomar Confidential Information. Palomar shall retain such books, records and accounts until the later of (1) three (3) years after the end of the period to which such books, records and accounts pertain, or (2) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law. Xxxxxxxx shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to inspect and copy any such books, records and accounts for purposes of conducting an audit of them.

2.1 Xxxxxxxx’x Commercialization Rights and Obligations.

(a) Xxxxxxxx’x Commercialization Rights and Obligations. From and after the expiration of the R&D Period for the First Female Product, until such time as Xxxxxxxx elects to opt-out of the commercialization of such product pursuant to Section 2.3, Xxxxxxxx shall have the following rights and responsibilities:

(i) Commercialization of Female Products. Subject to Palomar’s obligations as set forth in Section 2.2, during the Exclusivity Period, Xxxxxxxx shall have the sole right to commercialize, Manufacture or have Manufactured, distribute and sell the Female Product(s). The parties acknowledge and agree that all commercialization decisions, including decisions relating to which, if any, of the Palomar Technology, Joint Technology or Xxxxxxxx Technology shall be incorporated in, or used to Manufacture, Female Products, and Xxxxxxxx’x Exploitation and pricing of the Female Products, shall be within the sole discretion of Xxxxxxxx. Subject to Section 3.1, Xxxxxxxx reserves the right to determine the Product Specifications for Female Product(s) that Xxxxxxxx commercializes. Palomar acknowledges that Xxxxxxxx is in the business of researching, developing, Manufacturing, marketing and selling consumer products and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as imposing on Xxxxxxxx the duty to Exploit or otherwise commercialize any Female Product for which payments are due hereunder to the exclusion of, or in preference to, any other Xxxxxxxx product.

(ii) Manufacturing. Subject to Section 3.1, Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to Manufacture (or to have Manufactured by a Third Party) a supply of each Female Product for use in CUTs and all commercial supply of each Female Product for sale to consumers for use in the Consumer Field. In accordance with the terms of Section 1.3(b)(ii), Palomar shall cooperate with Xxxxxxxx in good faith and assist Xxxxxxxx in obtaining any and all Regulatory Approvals required for Xxxxxxxx or such Third Party to Manufacture each Female Product.

(iii) Trademarks.

(1) Xxxxxxxx shall have the sole right to determine the Trademarks to be used with respect to the development and commercialization of the Female Products on a worldwide basis, and shall own all right, title and interest in and to such Trademarks.

(2) In the event that Palomar requests that Xxxxxxxx display on the Female Product(s) (including labels, packaging or inserts therefore) a Trademark or marketing logo provided by Palomar (the “Palomar Marks”), Xxxxxxxx shall consider such request but shall have no obligation to use Palomar Marks. In the event that Xxxxxxxx elects, in its sole discretion, to display one of more Palomar Marks on the Female Product, (A) the parties shall consult on the manner and location of such display, provided that such display shall not be more prominent than the trademark and marketing logo of Xxxxxxxx but in any event shall have a commercially reasonable size and location, (B) Xxxxxxxx shall permit Palomar to review all material regulatory filings which relate to all proposed labels, packaging, package inserts, and promotional materials required under this Agreement to include the Palomar Marks, if permitted by Applicable Law, prior to the filing of any such materials with any Regulatory Authority, and (C) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties shall enter into a commercially reasonable agreement granting to Xxxxxxxx a non-exclusive license to use such Palomar Marks solely in connection with the Exploitation of Female Products.

(3) During and after the term of this Agreement, and except with respect to any Palomar Marks licensed to Xxxxxxxx as provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii)(2), Palomar shall not use any Trademark used by Xxxxxxxx at any time to identify or distinguish any

-11-

Female Product, or any Trademark that is confusingly similar to, misleading or deceptive with respect to, or that dilutes any Trademark used by Xxxxxxxx at any time to identify or distinguish any Female Product.

(iv) Costs and Expenses of Commercialization Activities. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Xxxxxxxx shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses in connection with commercialization activities. For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxxxxx shall not have any obligation to reimburse Palomar for any costs or expenses incurred by Palomar prior to the Effective Date in connection with Palomar Technology, Palomar Male Technology or Female Product Technology, unless otherwise expressly provided herein.

(b) Xxxxxxxx’x Diligence Obligations. Palomar’s sole remedies for any failure by Xxxxxxxx to commercialize Female Product(s) are as follows.

(i) In the event that Xxxxxxxx fails to Launch a Female Product comprising an apparatus for delivering laser light to radiate areas of the skin in one or more Major Markets within forty-eight (48) months following the Launch Decision, Palomar shall have the right within thirty (30) days after the end of such 48-month period to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.5; provided, however, that Palomar shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.5 in the event that, prior to the end of such 48-month period, Xxxxxxxx pays to Palomar ten million dollars (US $10,000,000) on account of such failure to Launch.

(ii) In the event that Xxxxxxxx fails to Launch a Female Product comprising an apparatus for delivering laser light to radiate areas of the skin in one or more Major Markets within sixty (60) months following the Launch Decision, Palomar shall have the right within thirty (30) days after the end of such 60-month period to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.5; provided, however, that Palomar shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.5 in the event that, prior to the end of such 60-month period, Xxxxxxxx pays to Palomar ten million dollars (US $10,000,000) on account of such failure to Launch (the payment obligations of Xxxxxxxx pursuant to the provisos contained in Section 2.1(b)(i) and this Section 2.1(b)(ii), collectively the “Failure to Launch Payments”).

(iii) In the event that Xxxxxxxx fails to Launch a Female Product comprising an apparatus for delivering laser light to radiate areas of the skin in one or more Major Markets within seventy-two (72) months following the Launch Decision, Palomar shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.5.

For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the rights and remedies of Palomar specified in Sections 2.1(b)(i), 2.1(b)(ii) and 2.1(b)(iii) are cumulative of one another, (B) the Failure to Launch Payments are in addition to and not in lieu of the Annual Exclusivity Collaboration Payments set forth in Section 6.1(g), (iii) no portion of any Failure to Launch Payments shall offset, reduce or be credited against any other payment obligations of either party hereunder, including any payment obligations under ARTICLE VI or ARTICLE VIII. Except with respect to any obligations of Xxxxxxxx pursuant to Section 1.3(b), Xxxxxxxx shall be deemed to satisfy its diligence obligations hereunder, whether contractually or at common law, with respect to the Exploitation of Female Product(s) and Non-Light Based Products through the payment by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar of the Annual Exclusivity Collaboration Payments and the Launch Payments on the terms and conditions provided for herein.

2.2 Palomar’s Post-R&D Period.

(a) During the Commercial Assessment Period. Palomar acknowledges and agrees that the First Development Completion Payment, if any, made by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar at the First Development Completion Payment Date pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i) is intended, among other things as set forth in Section 6.1(d)(iii), to compensate Palomar for Palomar’s performance, upon request by Xxxxxxxx, of reasonable services during the Commercial Assessment Period. From and after completion of the R&D Program with respect to the first Female Product, until the completion of the Commercial Assessment Period, Palomar shall, at no additional cost or expense to Xxxxxxxx, perform activities related to the commercialization of Female Products as Xxxxxxxx may reasonably request (the “Commercial Assessment Period Additional Activities”); provided, however, that the performance by Palomar of such activities shall not exceed three (3) FTEs during the Commercial Assessment Period; provided further, that Xxxxxxxx shall reimburse Palomar for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Palomar to perform such activities (including any travel expenses). Palomar shall have the right, with Xxxxxxxx’x prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, to subcontract Commercial Assessment Period Additional Activities, provided that (1) with respect to those Commercial Assessment Period Additional Activities that are of the type that Palomar subcontracted in connection with the R&D Plan, (a) those Commercial Assessment Period Additional Activities performed by the subcontractor(s) shall not be counted against the FTEs provided for in the previous sentence, and (b) the costs of such subcontracting shall be treated as out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Palomar subject to reimbursement provided for in the previous sentence, and (2) with respect to those Commercial Assessment Period Additional Activities that are of the type that Palomar performed (without subcontracting) under the R&D Plan, (x) those Commercial Assessment Period Additional Activities performed by the subcontractor(s) shall be counted against the FTEs provided for in the previous sentence, and (y) the costs of such subcontracting shall not be treated as out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Palomar subject to reimbursement provided for in the previous sentence (except to the extent that costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the subcontractor would qualify as out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Palomar if such costs and expenses were incurred by Palomar in the first instance). Any activities performed in excess of those FTEs shall be paid for by Xxxxxxxx in accordance with Section 1.8 as Additional Activities hereunder.

(b) Following the Commercial Assessment Period. From and after completion of the Commercial Assessment Period with respect to the First Female Product until the end of the Exclusivity Period, Palomar shall cooperate with any and all reasonable requests for consultation or assistance from Xxxxxxxx with respect to the development and commercialization of the Female Product Technology, including by making its employees, consultants and other scientific staff available upon reasonable notice during normal business hours at their respective places of employment to consult with Xxxxxxxx on issues arising during such development and commercialization. In addition, during the Exclusivity Period, in the event that Xxxxxxxx reasonably concludes following the completion of the Commercial Assessment Period with respect to the First Female Product that design modifications are necessary or appropriate to maximize such product’s commercial potential, Palomar shall, at

-13-

Xxxxxxxx’x election, cooperate with Xxxxxxxx in good faith to adopt a work plan for the additional development work, and perform additional activities to implement such modifications as the parties may mutually agree. For all activities and services performed by Palomar under this Section 2.2(b), Xxxxxxxx shall pay Palomar in accordance with Section 1.8 as Additional Activities hereunder.

2.3 Second Decision Point. In the event that, pursuant to Section 1.6(a), Xxxxxxxx fails to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.4(d) on or before the First Decision Point, Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to opt-out of the commercialization process for the First Female Product on or before the Second Decision Point. In the event that Xxxxxxxx determines on or before the Second Decision Point to opt-out of the commercialization process, Xxxxxxxx shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(d). In the event that Xxxxxxxx fails to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(d) on or before Second Decision Point, Xxxxxxxx shall be deemed to have elected to continue commercializing Female Product(s) (such election, the “Launch Decision”), and Xxxxxxxx shall make the Second Development Completion Payment to Palomar in the amount set forth in Section 6.1(d)(i) on or before the Second Development Completion Payment Date.

ARTICLE III

CUT Supply

3.1 CUT Supply.

(a) In General. The parties shall confer in good faith to determine which party, if either, shall supply the Female Product for use by Xxxxxxxx in CUTs (the “CUT Female Product”), provided that Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to make a final determination with respect thereto. In the event that Xxxxxxxx desires an Estimate of the Manufacturing Costs that would be incurred by Palomar in connection with the Manufacture of CUT Female Products, Xxxxxxxx shall provide to Palomar the Product Specifications on or before the later of (i) eight hundred and forty-two (842) days after the Effective Date, in the event that as of such date the R&D Period has not been extended past the nine hundredth twelfth (912th) day after the Effective Date, or (ii) sixty (60) days prior to the end of the projected end of the R&D Period, in the event that as of such date the R&D Period has been extended past the nine hundredth twelfth (912th) day after the Effective Date. Palomar shall provide to Xxxxxxxx, not later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of such Product Specifications, a good faith Estimate as to all Costs that would be incurred by Palomar in connection with the Manufacture of CUT Female Products. In the event that Xxxxxxxx elects to have Palomar supply the CUT Female Product for use by Xxxxxxxx in CUTs, Xxxxxxxx shall so notify Palomar in writing not later than ten (10) days after the last day of the R&D Period (such notice, the “Ten-Day Notice”). In the event that Xxxxxxxx does not so notify Palomar on or before the last day of such ten-day period that Palomar will supply the CUT Female Product for use by Xxxxxxxx in CUTs, then Xxxxxxxx shall be deemed to have determined that Xxxxxxxx shall supply the CUT Female Product.

(b) Product Specifications. With the Ten-Day Notice, Xxxxxxxx shall provide to Palomar complete Product Specifications for the CUT Female Product (the “CUT Product Specifications”), which CUT Product Specifications (i) shall contain commercially reasonable tolerances, where appropriate, (ii) shall comply with the applicable U.S. Regulatory

-14-

Approval, (iii) in the case of Female Products other than the First Female Product, shall specify a Female Product that is the same as or substantially similar to the First Female Product, and (iv) may be modified or changed by Xxxxxxxx only in accordance with Section 3.4.

(c) Supply of CUT Female Products. Palomar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply to Xxxxxxxx within one hundred and twenty (120) days (the last day of such period, the “Delivery Date”) of receiving the Ten-Day Notice and the CUT Product Specifications, and Xxxxxxxx shall purchase from Palomar, three hundred (300) units of the CUT Female Product, which CUT Female Product shall conform to the CUT Product Specifications; provided, however, that in the event that Palomar Manufactures Prototypes in connection with the R&D Activities, that conform to and comply with the requirements set forth in this ARTICLE III with respect to CUT Female Products, such Prototypes shall be delivered by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx as “CUT Female Products” and there shall be a corresponding reduction in the number of units of the CUT Female Product that Xxxxxxxx shall purchase pursuant to this Section 3.1 (such number of units of the CUT Female Product that Xxxxxxxx shall purchase pursuant to this Section 3.1, the “Total CUT Supply”). The parties may mutually agree to have Palomar supply additional units of the CUT Female Product, or other Female Product(s) for use by Xxxxxxxx in CUTs that do not conform with the CUT Product Specifications, provided that any such agreement or supply by Palomar shall not act to delay in any way the Commercial Assessment Period Termination Date.

(d) Effects of Delays in Supply of CUT Female Product. In the event that Palomar determines that, for whatever reason, it will not deliver to Xxxxxxxx the Total CUT Supply by the Delivery Date, Palomar shall promptly notify Xxxxxxxx thereof in writing and inform Xxxxxxxx of the new delivery date (which date shall be the earliest possible date on which Palomar can deliver the units). Upon receipt of such notice, and to the extent Xxxxxxxx determines that the delay in delivery is likely to impact adversely the CUT schedule, Xxxxxxxx shall act promptly to adjust the CUT schedule in light of such delay.

(i) A delay in the supply by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx of the Total CUT Supply, which delay is attributable to Xxxxxxxx, shall reduce the 240-day period provided for in clause (b) of the definition of Commercial Assessment Period by an amount of time equal to the period of delay attributable to Xxxxxxxx. For example, and without limitation, delays attributable to Xxxxxxxx shall include the following: (i) if Xxxxxxxx fails to provide the CUT Product Specifications with the Ten-Day Notice as specified in Section 3.1(a), or otherwise provides CUT Product Specifications that do not comply with the requirements of Section 3.1, then the 240-day period shall be reduced on a day-by-day basis for each day that the CUT Product Specifications are late or are not in compliance, or (ii) if Xxxxxxxx fails to pay Palomar the Advanced CUT Female Product Costs in a timely manner as specified in Section 3.2, then the 240-day period shall be reduced on a day-by-day basis for each day that the full amount of such payment is late.

(ii) A delay in the supply by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx of the Total CUT Supply, which delay is attributable to Palomar, shall increase the 240-day period provided in clause (b) of the definition of Commercial Assessment Period by up to sixty (60) days (or such larger number of days as the parties mutually agree) in the event that Xxxxxxxx reasonably determines that such delay(s) will result in a delay in the CUT schedule.

-15-

3.2 Price. The parties hereby agree that the price (the “Manufacturing Fee”) of each unit of CUT Female Product supplied by Palomar pursuant to this ARTICLE III shall be equal to Palomar’s Costs to Manufacture such unit of CUT Female Product calculated in accordance with Section 1.8 and Schedule A-2 (the “Manufacturing Cost”). With respect to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses to be incurred by Palomar in supplying units of CUT Female Product under this ARTICLE III, including all costs and expenses for components to be incorporated into those units (collectively, the “Advanced CUT Female Product Costs”), Palomar shall have the right to invoice Xxxxxxxx for fifty-percent (50%) of the Advanced CUT Female Product Costs upon Palomar issuing a purchase order to a Third Party giving rise to them, and Xxxxxxxx shall pay Palomar such amounts within forty-five (45) days of receiving such invoice from Palomar. With respect to all Manufacturing Costs other than Advanced CUT Female Product Costs, upon shipping units of CUT Female Product to Xxxxxxxx, Palomar shall invoice Xxxxxxxx for such units of CUT Female Product, and Xxxxxxxx shall make a payment to Palomar within forty-five (45) days after receipt by Xxxxxxxx of such invoice. Xxxxxxxx shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to review and audit Palomar’s books and records to confirm the Manufacturing Costs.

3.3 Female Product(s) Requirements. Upon Xxxxxxxx’x request, Palomar shall promptly provide to Xxxxxxxx in writing, with respect to the CUT Female Product supplied to Xxxxxxxx by Palomar under this ARTICLE III, such warranties as Xxxxxxxx may reasonably request to confirm that, during the Commercial Assessment Period, the CUT Female Products conform to the CUT Products Specifications and are in compliance with the applicable U.S. Regulatory Approval (which warranties shall not apply to any intellectual property rights). In the event of any breach of such warranties, Xxxxxxxx’x sole and exclusive remedy shall be, at Palomar’s sole discretion, for Palomar to replace the defective CUT Female Product unit or repair such unit. The foregoing notwithstanding, Palomar shall not be responsible for damage to any CUT Female Product resulting from misuse, negligence or accident or resulting from repairs, alterations or installation made or authorized by any Person other than Palomar. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 3.3, THE CUT FEMALE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

3.4 Amendment of CUT Product Specifications and Manufacturing Process. Xxxxxxxx reserves the right to amend, modify or supplement the CUT Product Specifications for the CUT Female Product for the purpose of complying with Good Manufacturing Practices or the applicable Regulatory Approvals or for any other reasonable business purpose, provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement shall not act to delay in any way the Commercial Assessment Period Termination Date, and further provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement shall not increase the cost to manufacture the CUT Female Product unless the Manufacturing Fee is correspondingly increased. Palomar may not amend, modify or supplement the CUT Product Specifications for the CUT Female Product in any respect without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxxx.

3.5 Records; Notification of Inspections; Communications. Palomar shall maintain all records necessary to comply with all Applicable Law relating to the Manufacture of the CUT Female Product. Xxxxxxxx shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to Palomar, to inspect any Palomar (or subcontractor) facility at which a CUT Female Product is Manufactured, the equipment and materials used in Manufacturing such

-16-

product, and the records relating to the Manufacture of such product. Palomar shall promptly notify Xxxxxxxx in writing of any proposed or unannounced visit or inspection by any Regulatory Authority of any Palomar (or subcontractor) facility at which a CUT Female Product is Manufactured. Subject to all Applicable Law, Xxxxxxxx shall have a right to be present to participate in any such announced visit or inspection, unless the Xxxxxxxx representative’s presence would impede the visit or inspection, and to receive copies of all written communications with any Regulatory Authority with respect thereto.

3.6 Controlling Terms and Conditions. The parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including this ARTICLE III, shall control the supply of CUT Female Product hereunder, and that the terms and conditions of any purchase order or form of acceptance exchanged by the parties with respect to the supply of CUT Female Product by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx, shall not apply thereto.

Other Covenants of the Parties

5.1 Option for the Male Field.

(a) Grant of Male Option. Subject to ARTICLE X, Palomar hereby grants to Xxxxxxxx an option (the “Male Option”) for a worldwide, exclusive (including with regard to Palomar), royalty-bearing license, under Palomar’s rights, titles, and interests in and to the Palomar Male Technology, Joint Technology and Palomar U.S. Regulatory Documentation to Exploit Light-Based Hair Management Products for use in the Male Field (collectively, “Male Products”).

(b) Exercise of Male Option. Palomar may elect to provide Xxxxxxxx one opportunity (the “Male Product Opportunity”) to exercise the Male Option with respect to Male Products by Palomar’s providing to Xxxxxxxx written notice thereof (the “Opportunity Notice”), which opportunity shall be with respect to the Male Product that, at the time such opportunity is offered to Xxxxxxxx, is the most commercially promising Male Product that is in Palomar’s Control and that Palomar has, directly or indirectly, conceived or developed. Subject to Section 14.2(d), Palomar shall not be obligated to provide to Xxxxxxxx the Male Product Opportunity at any time. Xxxxxxxx may exercise its Male Option with respect to Male Products, pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Prior to offering to Xxxxxxxx the Male Product Opportunity, Palomar shall conduct with respect to one (1) Male Product comprising an apparatus for delivering light to radiate areas of the skin (the “Subject Male Product”) sufficient preclinical, clinical and other testing to demonstrate that the product meets the Safety and Efficacy Standards.

(ii) Prior to or simultaneous with Palomar’s providing to Xxxxxxxx the Opportunity Notice, Palomar shall provide to Xxxxxxxx in writing (A) material preclinical, clinical and other testing data, and any other material information in Palomar’s Control, with respect to the Subject Male Product, which data and information shall contain sufficient scientific evidence to demonstrate that the Subject Male Product satisfies the Safety and Efficacy Standards, and (B) material information concerning the intellectual property rights Controlled by Palomar claiming or covering such product, and contractual obligations of Palomar and any known patent-related restrictions that Palomar reasonably believes would limit or otherwise affect the parties’ rights to fully Exploit the Subject Male Product (collectively, the “Evaluation Materials”). The Evaluation Materials shall be treated as Palomar Confidential Information hereunder.

(iii) The Opportunity Notice provided by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx shall be in writing and shall contain a legend that contains the words “Opportunity Notice” and shall state that such notice is being provided to Xxxxxxxx pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(iii). The

-21-

effective date of the Opportunity Notice shall be the date on which such notice is received by Xxxxxxxx, provided that, if as of such date either (A) Xxxxxxxx has not received from Palomar all Evaluation Materials, or (B) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date has not yet occurred, then the effective date of the Opportunity Notice shall be deemed to be the first date on which (x) Xxxxxxxx has received from Palomar such materials, and (y) such second anniversary has occurred (the “Opportunity Notice Effective Date”).

(iv) Xxxxxxxx shall have sixty (60) days after the Opportunity Notice Effective Date (the “Option Exercise Period”) within which to exercise the Male Option by providing to Palomar written notice thereof (an “Option Exercise Notice”).

(v) In the event that Xxxxxxxx elects not to, or otherwise fails to exercise the Male Option within the Option Exercise Period, then the Male Option shall terminate in its entirety and Palomar shall not have any further obligation under this Section 5.1. Upon the termination of the Male Option, (i) Palomar shall be free to exercise rights under the Palomar Male Technology or Palomar’s rights, title and interest in and to the Joint Technology to Exploit, or to grant to a Third Party rights under the Palomar Male Technology or such Joint Technology to Exploit, Male Products in the Male Field, (ii) the covenant granted by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx in Section 5.2(b) shall terminate, and (iii) Xxxxxxxx shall return to Palomar or destroy, at Palomar’s option, all Evaluation Materials and any materials embodying Evaluation Materials (except that one copy of such materials may be retained by Xxxxxxxx in the offices of its outside counsel).

(c) Negotiation of Definitive Agreement With Respect to Subject Male Product. In the event that Xxxxxxxx exercises the Male Option in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(iv), the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of the Option Exercise Notice the terms and conditions to be included in a definitive agreement governing the grant by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx of a license for the Male Field (the “Male Collaboration Agreement”). The Male Collaboration Agreement shall (1) reflect a deal structure substantially similar to the one in this Agreement, (2) contain financial terms that are commercially reasonable taking into consideration the stage of development and market potential for the Subject Male Product, which terms are similar in structure to those contained in ARTICLE V, including the potential for an up-front payment by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar, (3) contain grants by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx of licenses for the Male Product with respect to the Male Field that are the same in scope as the licenses granted to Xxxxxxxx in Section 4.1(a) for Female Products, and (4) contain grants by each party of covenants that are the same in scope as the covenants granted to the other party in ARTICLE IV and this ARTICLE V with respect to the Female Field. In the event that the parties are unable within such ninety (90) day period to negotiate and enter into the Male Collaboration Agreement, either party may initiate the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 13.2. From and after the effective date of a Male Collaboration Agreement, each party’s rights with respect to Male Products shall be as set forth in that agreement.

(d) The covenants of Xxxxxxxx contained in Sections 5.3(b)(i)(1), 5.3(b)(i)(2) and 5.3(b)(ii)(2) shall not prevent Xxxxxxxx or any Xxxxxxxx Licensee from conducting any activity, or exercising or granting any licenses or other rights, as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, with respect to the Palomar Technology, Joint Technology or otherwise, that has

-26-

as its goal or intent Exploitation of a product or system with respect to the Joint Technology, inside the Field, and with respect to all other such technology, inside the Exclusive Field, notwithstanding the possibility that such activity, exercise or grant may have applications outside the Field and Exclusive Field, respectively.

5.4 Economic Adjustments for Off-Label Sales

(a) Xxxxxxxx Covenants.

(i) In order to preserve for each of the Palomar Licensees the economic benefits of the exclusivity granted by Palomar to such Palomar Licensee under the Palomar Technology, Palomar Male Technology or Joint Technology to Exploit Light-Based Products in the Consumer Field or the Professional Field, as the case may be, Xxxxxxxx agrees to make payments to such Palomar Licensee in the manner set forth in subparagraph (ii) below, to compensate such Palomar Licensee for certain lost profits, if any, resulting from net off-label purchases of Female Products by end-users in the exclusive field of such Palomar Licensee.

(ii) In the event that any Palomar Licensee shall suffer Lost Profits (calculated in the manner set forth in subparagraph (iii) below) in excess of Five Million Dollars (US $5,000,000) in any calendar year, then such Palomar Licensee may submit a written notice to Xxxxxxxx (a “Lost Profits Notice”) specifying its aggregate Lost Profits for such calendar year and enclosing copies of (A) the Independent Study (as defined below) supporting such calculation and (B) the relevant Palomar License Agreement. Within one hundred and eighty (180) days after receipt thereof, Xxxxxxxx shall (1) remit payment to such Palomar Licensee, to such bank account designated in the Lost Profits Notice, in an amount equal to the difference between such Lost Profits and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or (2) provide to such Palomar Licensee a detailed written critique of such calculation, propose a revised calculation of such Palomar Licensee’s Lost Profits based on a new Independent Study, and enclose a copy of such Independent Study. In the event that Xxxxxxxx shall propose a revised calculation, Xxxxxxxx and such Palomar Licensee shall meet within thirty (30) days thereafter to attempt in good faith to negotiate an agreed level of Lost Profits, or otherwise settle the dispute. In the event that the parties shall fail to reach agreement at such meeting, either party may bring a lawsuit in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve such dispute.

(iii) The Lost Profits of a Palomar Licensee for a calendar year shall be determined as follows. Such Palomar Licensee shall retain, at its expense, a nationally-recognized economic consulting firm to determine, for such year, on the basis of accepted accounting, market research, sampling and survey methodology, (A) the sales of Female Products for such year that displaced sales of Light-Based Products by or on behalf of Palomar’s Licensee in the exclusive field of such Palomar Licensee, as specified in the relevant Palomar License Agreement, and (B) the sales of Light-Based Products for such year by such Palomar Licensee or its sublicensees or agents that displaced sales of Female Products by or on behalf of Xxxxxxxx; (C) the average net profit of such Palomar Licensee for each unit of Light-Based Product sold (on a country-by-country basis, as relevant); (D) the loss of sales resulting from net off-label sales, calculated on the basis of (A) and (B); and (E) the lost profits attributable to such net off-label sales, calculated on the basis of (C) and (D) (the “Lost Profits”). Such

-27-

determinations shall be summarized and documented in a report prepared by such nationally-recognized economic consulting firm (the “Independent Study”).

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.4, Xxxxxxxx shall have no obligation to make any payment to any Palomar Licensee hereunder (A) if such Palomar Licensee has materially breached any provision of the relevant Palomar License Agreement corresponding to any negative covenant set forth in Section 5.3(a) hereof or (B) if the Lost Profits claimed by such Palomar Licensee relate to a period after the termination or expiration of the period of license exclusivity provided for in the relevant Palomar License Agreement.

(v) Xxxxxxxx hereby consents to Palomar’s granting to each Palomar Licensee in the relevant Palomar License Agreement third party beneficiary rights to enforce directly against Xxxxxxxx any provision of this Section 5.4(a), provided that such Palomar License Agreement includes a provision corresponding to that described in Section 5.4(b).

(b) Palomar Covenants. Palomar agrees to include in each Palomar License Agreement covenants that bind the relevant Palomar Licensee in the same manner and to the same extent that Xxxxxxxx is bound by Section 5.4(a), mutatis mutandis (such that Xxxxxxxx is accorded thereunder the rights of a Palomar Licensee under Section 5.4(a) hereof). Further, Palomar agrees to include in each Palomar License Agreement a grant to Xxxxxxxx of third party beneficiary rights to enforce any such provision of such agreement.

5.5 Duration and Scope of Section 5.3. Insomuch as certain of the provisions of Section 5.3 are intended to apply to Xxxxxxxx and any Xxxxxxxx Licensee, and Palomar and any Palomar Licensee, this Section 5.5 sets forth the general principles for the duration and scope of Section 5.3:

(a) For as long as Xxxxxxxx or a Palomar Licensee has an exclusive (sub)license under a license granted to it by Palomar under the Palomar Technology or Joint Technology (as the case may be) sufficient in scope to Exploit, in the case of Xxxxxxxx, Female Products, and in the case of the Palomar Licensee, Light-Based Products outside the Field, then the Person receiving such license shall enjoy the benefits of the restrictions contained in Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b), respectively, (i.e., as long as the licenses grants in Section 4.1(a)(i) and 4.1(a)(ii) remain exclusive to Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx shall enjoy the benefit of the restrictions contained in Section 5.3(a)). At such time as Xxxxxxxx or the Palomar Licensee, as the case may be, no longer has any such exclusive license, then Xxxxxxxx or the Palomar Licensee shall no longer enjoy the benefits of such restrictions.

(b) For as long as Xxxxxxxx or a Palomar Licensee is granted a (sub)license by Palomar, whether exclusive or non-exclusive in scope, under the Palomar Technology or Joint Technology sufficient in scope to Exploit, in the case of Xxxxxxxx, Female Products, and in the case of the Palomar Licensee, Light-Based Products outside the Field, then Xxxxxxxx or the Palomar Licensee, respectively, shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b), as applicable (i.e., so long as the license grants in Section 4.1(a)(i) and 4.1(a)(ii) remain in force, Xxxxxxxx shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Section 5.3(b)).

-28-

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if Xxxxxxxx or any such Palomar Licensee only has non-exclusive rights under Palomar Technology or Joint Technology, Xxxxxxxx or such Palomar Licensee, respectively, shall not enjoy the benefit of the restrictions contained in Sections 5.3(a) or 5.3(b), but shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Sections 5.3(a) or 5.3(b), as applicable, (ii) the ownership interest that Xxxxxxxx retains in Joint Technology, as distinguished from the license interest from Palomar under Section 4.1, shall not by itself render Xxxxxxxx subject to the restrictions contained in Section 5.3(b), and (iii) for this Agreement, ARTICLE X sets forth if and when Section 5.3 will terminate, and this Section 5.5 is not intended to vary ARTICLE X or any other provision of this Agreement in any way, with the understanding that ARTICLE X is intended to reflect the principles set forth in this Section 5.5.

5.6 Restrictions Reasonable. The parties acknowledge and agree that all restrictions contained in this ARTICLE V are reasonable, valid and necessary for the adequate protection of (a) in the case of Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx’x Female Product(s) business, and the Male Option granted by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx until the Male Option Termination Date, and (b) in the case of Palomar, Palomar’s Light-Based Product business, and that neither party would have entered into this Agreement without the protection afforded to it by the other party pursuant to this ARTICLE V.

(i) Introduction. The parties understand and agree that Palomar shall disclose to Xxxxxxxx a substantial amount of Palomar Technology developed before the Effective Date.

(iii) TTP Period. Xxxxxxxx’x obligation to pay to Palomar TTPs pursuant to Section 6.1(e)(ii) shall commence on the date of First Commercial Sale of a Female Product and shall continue on a Female Product-by-Female Product basis for as long as such Female Product is sold or distributed by or on behalf of Xxxxxxxx or any of its agents or (sub)licensees.

On a Female Product-by-Female Product and country-by-country basis, Xxxxxxxx shall pay to Palomar on account of sales or distributions of each such product by Xxxxxxxx or any of its agents or (sub)licensees, royalties in the amount of two percent (2%) of Net Sales of each Female Product where the Manufacture, sale, offer for sale, use or import of such Female Product would (in the absence of the license(s) or other ownership interests provided pursuant to this Agreement (including any of Xxxxxxxx’x ownership or other interests in the Joint Patents)) infringe a Valid Claim of a Palomar Patent or Joint Patent; provided, however, in the case of each Female Product Lotion, Xxxxxxxx’x obligation to pay to Palomar royalties with respect to such Female Product Lotion shall be one percent (1%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, that in the event that such Manufacture, sale, offer for sale, use or import of such Female Product(s) would infringe an MGH Valid Claim(s) but no other Valid Claim, Xxxxxxxx’x obligation pursuant to this Section 6.1(f) shall be reduced to one percent (1%) of such Net Sales and shall apply only if and to the extent that Palomar has a corresponding payment obligation to MGH under an MGH Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.1(g), 6.1(h) or ARTICLE VIII, all royalty payments under this Section 6.1(f)(i) shall be non-creditable and non-refundable and there shall be no right of set-off with respect thereto, except in the event that an audit confirms that Xxxxxxxx had overpaid Palomar as provided in Section 6.8, whereupon any over-payment shall be addressed as provided in that Section.

(ii) Royalty Period. Xxxxxxxx’x obligation to pay to Palomar royalties pursuant to Section 6.1(f)(i) shall commence on the date of First Commercial Sale of a Female Product and terminate on a Female Product-by-Female Product and country-by-country basis on the date of the last to expire of any Valid Claim of a Palomar Patent or Joint Patent in such country covering the Manufacture, sale, offer for sale, importation or use of such product.

-32-

no Annual Exclusivity Collaboration Payments shall be payable by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar. For avoidance of doubt, any credits, offsets or other reductions available under this Agreement for Xxxxxxxx to credit against TTPs and royalties owed by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar (taking into account Section 6.6(b)) shall not be used to reduce any Annual Exclusivity Collaboration Payments.

In the event that Xxxxxxxx’x Exploitation of Female Products triggers any payment obligations to any Third Party pursuant to an agreement originally entered into by Palomar and such Third Party prior to or on the Effective Date, including to MGH pursuant to the MGH Agreements, Palomar shall be solely responsible for such payments. In the event that Xxxxxxxx’x Exploitation of Female Products triggers any payment obligations to any Third Party pursuant to an agreement originally entered into by Palomar and such Third Party after the Effective Date, Palomar shall so inform Xxxxxxxx in writing and provide to Xxxxxxxx a copy of such Third Party agreement. Xxxxxxxx shall be required to pay to Palomar any such payment obligations attributable to Xxxxxxxx’x exercise of any rights or license (or sublicense) under such Third Party agreement that accrue after Xxxxxxxx’x receipt of such agreement; provided, however, that in the event that Xxxxxxxx elects not to exercise any rights or a license (or sublicense) under such Third Party agreement, Xxxxxxxx shall so inform Palomar in writing and from and after such date Xxxxxxxx shall have no rights or license (or sublicense) and shall have no obligations to make such payments to Palomar for such payment obligations that accrue after such date unless and until the parties otherwise mutually agree in writing.

Each TTP and royalty payment hereunder shall be accompanied by a statement showing (a) the number of units of each product sold by the payor party on a country-by-country basis during the applicable Calendar Quarter, (b) the amount of royalties and TTPs, if any, due on such Net Sales, (c) withholding taxes, if any required by Applicable Law to be deducted, (d) the date of the First Commercial Sale for all Products in any country that occurred during the reporting period, (e) any calculation concerning a reduction in TTPs or royalties pursuant to Section 6.1(h), 6.4 or 6.5, as applicable, and (f) the exchange rates used in determining the amount of United States dollars. In addition, each TTP and royalty and other payment hereunder shall be accompanied by a statement showing (i) any credits, offsets or other reductions (if any) taken against such payment, (ii) a reasonably detailed

-38-

statement of the source of such credits, offsets or other reductions; (iii) the provision(s) of this Agreement expressly authorizing such credits, offsets or other reductions, (iv) the extent to which such credits, offsets or other reductions were capped pursuant to Section 6.6(b) or any provision of ARTICLE VIII; and (v) the amount and nature any credits, offsets and other reductions that are carried into future Calendar Quarters as a result of being capped pursuant to such Section or ARTICLE.

6.8 Records Retention; Audit.

(a) Record Retention. Until the third (3rd) anniversary of December 31 of the Calendar Year in which a product for which a party owed to the other party TTP or royalty payments is sold or distributed, the paying party shall keep (and shall ensure that its agents and (sub)licensees shall keep) records of such sales in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of the TTP or royalty calculations hereunder. With respect to any credits, offsets or other reductions (if any) taken against any TTP or royalty or other payment, until the third (3rd) anniversary of December 31 of the Calendar Year in which any such credit, offset or other reduction is taken, the paying party shall keep (and shall ensure that its agents and (sub)licensees shall keep) records of such credits, offsets or other reductions in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of them hereunder.

(b) Audit. Upon the written request of the receiving party and not more than once in each Calendar Year, the paying party shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by the receiving party, and reasonably acceptable to the paying party, at the receiving party’s expense, to have access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to such of the records of the paying party as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the TTP or royalty reports hereunder for any Calendar Year ending not more than twenty-four (24) months prior to the date of such request. The accounting firm shall disclose to the paying party and the receiving party whether the royalty or reports are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to the receiving party.

(c) Payment of Additional TTPs or Royalties. If such accounting firm concludes that additional TTPs or royalties were owed during such period, or excess credits, offsets or other reductions were taken, the paying party shall pay the additional TTPs or royalties, as applicable, with interest calculated as provided in Section 6.10 from the date originally due, within thirty (30) days after the date on which such accounting firm’s written report is delivered to the paying party. If, and only if, the amount of the underpayment is greater than two percent (2%) of the total amount owed, then the paying party shall reimburse the receiving party for all costs related to such audit.

(d) Confidentiality. The receiving party shall treat all information subject to review under this Section 6.8 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of ARTICLE IX and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with the paying party obligating such firm to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

-39-

6.9 Mode of Payment. All payments to Palomar or Xxxxxxxx under this Agreement shall be made by deposit of United States Dollars in the requisite amount to such bank account as the receiving party may from time to time designate by notice to the paying party. Payments shall be free and clear of any taxes (other than withholding and other taxes imposed on the receiving party, which shall be for the account of such party), fees or charges, to the extent applicable. With respect to sales outside the United States, payments shall be calculated based on currency exchange rates for the Calendar Quarter with respect to which sales remittance is made for TTPs or royalties. For each month and each currency, such exchange rate shall equal the arithmetic average of the daily exchange rates (obtained as described below) during the Calendar Quarter; each daily exchange rate shall be obtained from The Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Edition, or, if not so available, as otherwise agreed by the parties. Unless otherwise designated by Palomar in writing, all payments to Palomar under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer to the following bank account:

6.10 Interest on Late Payments. Each party shall pay interest to the other party on the aggregate amount of any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the prime rate, as published in The Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Edition, plus one and one-half percent (1.5%), on the last business day preceding the date of payment, or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent.

6.11 Withholding. The parties shall use all reasonable and legal efforts to reduce tax withholding on payments due the other party hereunder. Notwithstanding such efforts, if a party reasonably concludes that tax withholdings under the laws of any country are required with respect to payments to the other party, such party shall withhold the required amount and pay it to the appropriate governmental entity. Such party shall cooperate with the other party in the event the other party claims exemption from such withholding or seeks deductions under any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force, such cooperation to include, without limitation, such party promptly providing the other party with original receipts or other evidence reasonably desirable and sufficient to allow the other party to document such withholdings.

6.12 Blocked Payments. In the event that, by reason of Applicable Law or regulation in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for one party to transfer payments to the other party, such payments shall be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of the other party in a recognized banking institution designated by the other party or, if none is designated by the other party within a period of thirty (30) days after its receipt of written notice from such party, in a recognized banking institution selected by such party and identified in a subsequent written notice given to the other party.

ARTICLE VII

Reports

7.1 Complaints. Each party shall maintain a record of any and all complaints it receives with respect to the Female Product(s) as required by Applicable Law. Each party shall notify the other party in reasonable detail of any complaint received by it relating to any Female Product within thirty (30) days after receiving the complaint, and in any event in sufficient time to allow such other party to comply with any and all regulatory and other requirements imposed upon it in any jurisdiction in which the Female Product(s) is being marketed.

7.2 Adverse Event Reporting. Each party shall provide the other party with all information necessary or desirable for such other party to comply with all Applicable Law with respect to the Female Product(s). In the event that the Female Product(s) is a PMA Product, the parties shall (a) develop appropriate adverse experience reporting procedures; (b) provide any material information on the Female Product(s) from pre-clinical or clinical laboratory studies, as well as serious or unexpected adverse experience reports from Clinical Trials of the Female Product(s); and (c) report and provide such information in such a manner and time so as to enable the parties to comply with all Applicable Law in countries for which Regulatory Approval is or will be sought.

7.3 Product Recall.

(a) Notification and Recall. In the event that any Regulatory Authority issues or requests a recall or takes similar action in connection with a Female Product, or in the event either party determines that an event, incident or circumstance has occurred that may result in the need for a recall or market withdrawal, the party notified of or desiring such recall or similar action shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, advise the other party thereof by telephone or facsimile. Following notification of a recall, within seventy-two (72) hours, Xxxxxxxx shall decide whether to conduct a recall (except in the case of a government-mandated recall) and the manner in which any such recall shall be conducted.

(b) Recall Expenses. Xxxxxxxx shall bear the expenses of any recall of a Female Product; provided, however, that Palomar shall bear the direct expense to Xxxxxxxx of a recall to the extent that such recall resulted from Palomar’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. (For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 7.3(b) shall in any way alter or diminish any indemnification obligation of Palomar pursuant to ARTICLE XI.) Such expenses of recall shall include expenses for notification, destruction or return of the recalled Female Product and any refund to consumers of amounts paid for the recalled Female Product. In the event that Palomar bears any such expenses of a recall, notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 7.3(a), Xxxxxxxx shall consult with Palomar in good faith on the manner in which any such recall shall be conducted. The rights and remedies of Xxxxxxxx under this Section shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies that may be available to Xxxxxxxx under this Agreement or at law.

ARTICLE VIII

Intellectual Property Rights

8.1 Intellectual Property Ownership.

(a) Ownership of Xxxxxxxx Patents and Xxxxxxxx Know-How. Subject to the license grants to Palomar in this Agreement, as between the parties, Xxxxxxxx shall own and retain all right, title and interest in and to any and all Xxxxxxxx Patents, Xxxxxxxx Know-How and Xxxxxxxx Regulatory Documentation.

(b) Ownership of Palomar Patents, Palomar Know-How and Palomar U.S. Regulatory Documentation. Subject to the license grants to Xxxxxxxx in this Agreement, as between the parties, Palomar shall own and retain all right, title and interest in and to all Palomar Patents, Palomar Know-How and Palomar U.S. Regulatory Documentation.

(i) Palomar shall own all right, title and interest in and to all (A) Joint Inventions first conceived or reduced to practice during the Restricted Access Period, and (B) all Joint Technology with respect thereto. At the end of the Restricted Access Period, provided that Xxxxxxxx does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(a), Palomar shall assign, and hereby does assign, to Xxxxxxxx, without payment of additional consideration, an equal, undivided interest in all such Joint Inventions and Joint Technology conceived or reduced to practice on or before the last day of the Restricted Access Period. If Xxxxxxxx terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(a), then there shall be no assignment by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx of any such interest and any such Joint Inventions or Joint Technology shall be deemed “Palomar Patents” or “Palomar Know-How,” as the case may be, and shall no longer be treated as “Joint Inventions” or “Joint Technology” hereunder. If Xxxxxxxx does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(a), Xxxxxxxx, on the one hand, and Palomar, on the other hand, shall each own an equal, undivided interest in (1) Joint Inventions first conceived or reduced to practice after the Restricted Access Period, and (2) all Joint Technology with respect thereto. Each party agrees to disclose to the other party promptly in writing any and all Joint Inventions and Joint Technology that are conceived or reduced to practice by or on behalf of such party, provided that Palomar shall not disclose to Xxxxxxxx during the Restricted Access Period any Joint Invention or Joint Technology, and provided further that Palomar shall have no obligation to disclose to Xxxxxxxx any Joint Invention or Joint Technology at any time in the event Xxxxxxxx terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(a). In addition, the party with an obligation to make such disclosures agrees, as necessary to evidence joint ownership of any and all such Joint Inventions and Joint Technology, to assign (and hereby assigns) to the other party or to cause its employees and agents to assign to the other party, without payment of additional consideration, an equal, undivided interest in such Joint Inventions or Joint Technology, as the case may be.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(c)(i), there may be instances in which Joint Inventions and related Joint Technology arise from work performed by a party in collaboration with a non-profit entity that is not obligated to assign such Joint Inventions and Joint Technology to such party, rights to which shall be treated as follows for purposes of this Agreement:

-42-

(1) In the event that either party proposes to subcontract any R&D Activities, Additional Activities or Commercial Assessment Period Additional Activities to any non-profit entity that would retain an ownership interest in any Joint Inventions and related Joint Technology conceived or reduced to practice in connection with the performance of such activities, the subcontracting party shall notify the R&D Committee and the R&D Committee shall determine whether to permit such subcontract on the terms with the non-profit entity proposed by the subcontracting party, whereupon the parties shall mutually agree in good faith how to treat any such Joint Inventions and related Joint Technology under this Agreement.

(2) As of the date first written above, the parties understand and agree that the Initial R&D Plan provides that certain R&D Activities will be performed by MGH pursuant to the MGH Agreements, and MGH will retain an ownership interest in the Joint Inventions and related Joint Technology arising from such activities to the extent that an individual affiliated with MGH is an inventor of such Joint Inventions, all as provided in the MGH Agreements. In addition, Palomar may subcontract to MGH additional activities to be performed by Palomar hereunder. With respect to those Joint Inventions in which MGH retains an ownership interest (the “MGH Joint Inventions) and the related Joint Know-How, Joint Patents and Joint Technology (the “MGH Joint Know-How,” “MGH Joint Patents,” and “MGH Joint Technology,” respectively), Palomar shall assign to Xxxxxxxx as provided in Section 8.1(c)(ii) an equal and undivided share of Palomar’s partial interest in the MGH Joint Inventions and MGH Joint Technology, to the extent that Palomar owns a partial interest therein and is not a mere licensee with respect thereto. All references to Joint Inventions, Joint Technology, Joint Patents and Joint Know-How hereunder, to the extent they apply to MGH Joint Inventions, MGH Joint Technology, MGH Joint Patents and MGH Joint Know-How, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the MGH Agreements, and all rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the foregoing shall be subject to such agreements.

(iii) Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party may Exploit Joint Inventions and Joint Technology without an accounting or obligation to, or consent required from, the other party. Except in connection with a Third Party Collaboration, neither party may (sub)license any Joint Technology for use outside the Field without the other party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that (A) Xxxxxxxx’x consent shall not be required for Palomar to (sub)license Joint Technology (whether or not in connection with a Third Party Collaboration) for Exploitation by one or more Third Party(ies) of Light-Based Products outside the Field, and (B) Palomar’s consent shall not be required for Xxxxxxxx to (sub)license Joint Technology (whether or not in connection with a Third Party Collaboration) for the Exploitation by one or more Third Parties of Non-Light-Based Products.

8.2 Various Patent Matters.

(a) Inventorship Procedure. During the R&D Period, the R&D Committee shall, at the written request of either party and consistent with the terms of this Agreement, establish a mutually agreeable procedure for determining inventorship of Information and Inventions asserted by one party to be Joint Inventions and Joint Technology both during the R&D Period and thereafter. Any such procedure shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 13.1.

-43-

(b) U.S. Patents. Any Joint Invention that would be rendered unpatentable in the United States solely on account of prior art under one or more of subsections 102(e), (f), or (g) of Title 35, U.S.C., but for the absence of an obligation of assignment of such Joint Invention (or an undivided interest therein) to the other party hereto, is hereby subjected to an obligation of assignment to such other party of such interest in such invention as renders such Joint Invention patentable in the United States and thereby gives rise to a Joint Patent. Such assignment shall have force and effect only with respect to Joint Patents granted in the United States. The rights of the parties with respect to any Joint Invention subject to an obligation of assignment under this Section 8.2(b), except for subject matter patentable to the assignee in the absence of the assignment, shall be the same as the rights that would have applied under this Agreement had no obligation to assign under this Section 8.2(b) existed. If and only if required to give force and effect to the immediately preceding sentence and, in such case, only to the extent required to give such force and effect, each assignee under this Section 8.2(b) hereby grants to each of the assignors under this Section 8.2(b) such irrevocable licenses, if any, as are required to vest in the assignor all rights the assignor would have enjoyed absence the applicable assignment.

8.3 Prosecution of Patents.

(a) Palomar Patents.

(i) During the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive License Period. For as long as the license grants by Palomar to Xxxxxxxx contained in Section 4.1(a)(i) and 4.1 (a)(ii) are in effect and are exclusive (as opposed to non-exclusive) in nature (such grants, the “Xxxxxxxx Exclusive Licenses,” and such period the “Xxxxxxxx Exclusive License Period”), the following provisions of this Section 8.3(a)(i) shall apply to the Palomar Patents:

(1) In General. Subject to Sections 8.3(a)(i)(2) and 8.3(a)(i)(3), Palomar shall be responsible for preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining throughout the world the Palomar Patents. In this regard, Palomar shall prepare, file, prosecute and maintain applications to secure Palomar Patents for the Female Product Technology and, unless Xxxxxxxx consents in writing otherwise, any other patentable Palomar Know-How, in the United States and all other PCT member countries and in such non-PCT member countries as Xxxxxxxx may from time to time designate in writing. Palomar shall pay all Patent Costs incurred by Palomar arising from the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of the Palomar Patents.

(2) Cooperation. Palomar shall regularly provide Xxxxxxxx with copies of all patent applications filed by Palomar pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i)(1) and other related material submissions and correspondence with any patent authorities, as applicable, in sufficient time to allow for review and comment by Xxxxxxxx. In addition, Palomar shall provide Xxxxxxxx and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with Palomar and its counsel regarding the filing and contents of any application, amendment, registration, submission, response or correspondence with any patent authorities in connection therewith, and Palomar shall accede to the reasonable requests of Xxxxxxxx regarding the filing and prosecution of the Palomar Patents.

-44-

(3) Election not to Prosecute or Pay Patent Costs. If Palomar elects not (A) to pursue the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of a Palomar Patent in a particular country, or (B) to take any other action with respect to a Palomar Patent in a particular country that is necessary or useful to establish or preserve rights thereto or (C) to pay the Patent Costs associated with any such activities, then in each such case Palomar shall so notify Xxxxxxxx promptly in writing and in good time to enable Xxxxxxxx to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve any such rights in such Palomar Patent in such country. Upon receipt of each such notice by Palomar or if, at any time, Palomar fails to initiate any such action within thirty (30) days after a request by Xxxxxxxx that it do so (or within such shorter time as may be required to prevent the forfeiture of rights), and thereafter diligently pursue such action, Xxxxxxxx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pursue the preparation, filing, or support the continued prosecution or maintenance, of such Palomar Patent. If Xxxxxxxx elects to pursue such filing or provide such support, then Xxxxxxxx shall (x) control the filing, preparing, prosecuting and maintaining of such Palomar Patent, with all the rights and obligations with respect to such Palomar Patent set forth in Sections 8.3(a)(i)(1) and 8.3(a)(i)(2) and reversed, by switching the names of the parties in each of those Sections, and (y) be responsible for all Patent Costs incurred by Xxxxxxxx in connection therewith; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.6(b), Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to offset fifty percent (50%) of such Patent Costs against royalties payable by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter royalties in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales, and (ii) against TTPs payable by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter TTPs in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales (and which offsets shall be applied first to amounts attributable to such royalties and second to amounts attributable to TTPs). Subject to Section 6.6(b), offsets not exhausted in any Calendar Quarter shall be carried into future Calendar Quarters.

(4) To the extent that a Third Party licensor has retained any right to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain or otherwise be involved in the activities specified in this Section 8.3(a)(i) with respect to any Palomar Patents, Palomar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Third Party licensor to take the actions specified by this Section 8.3(a)(i) in a manner consistent with the agreement(s) by which such Third Party retains such rights, but Palomar shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under that Section if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by such Third Party licensor. To the extent that Palomar owes such Third Party licensor for any Patent Costs arising from such patenting activities, including MGH for the MGH Patents, those Patent Costs shall be treated as being incurred by the party that is controlling such activities for purposes of allocating Patent Costs under this Section 8.3(a)(i), and to the extent that Xxxxxxxx is responsible for any such Patent Costs under Section 8.3(a)(i)(3), Xxxxxxxx shall reimburse Palomar within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor. For example and without limitation, the MGH Patents are examples of such other Palomar Patents and the corresponding agreement(s) are the MGH Agreements.

(ii) After the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive License Period. After the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive License Period, Palomar shall have the sole right, and sole responsibility for all Patent Costs incurred by Palomar, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Palomar Patents throughout the world, and Xxxxxxxx shall have no rights with respect thereto.

-45-

(b) Xxxxxxxx Patents. Xxxxxxxx shall have the sole right, and sole responsibility for all Patent Costs incurred by Xxxxxxxx, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Xxxxxxxx Patents (including the Xxxxxxxx Licensed Patents) throughout the world, and Palomar shall have no rights with respect thereto. During the Exclusivity Period, Palomar shall, at Xxxxxxxx’x reasonable request and sole expense, assist and cooperate in the preparation, filing, registration and prosecution of any application, amendment, registration, submission, response or correspondence with respect to any Xxxxxxxx Patents that cover or claim any Female Product or Manufacturing Process with respect thereto.

(i) In General. Palomar shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Joint Patents throughout the world. If Palomar elects not to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain any Joint Patents in a particular country, then Palomar shall give Xxxxxxxx written notice of such election at least sixty (60) days before any right would be forfeited if no action were taken, and Xxxxxxxx shall thereafter have the right (but not the obligation) to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain such Joint Patent in such country. If Xxxxxxxx elects to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain such Joint Patent in such country, then Xxxxxxxx shall promptly notify Palomar in writing of such election. Xxxxxxxx shall be responsible for all Patent Costs incurred by the parties for preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Joint Patents throughout the world (including any Patent Costs paid by Palomar to MGH arising from such activities involving MGH Joint Patents, which is addressed further in Section 8.3(c)(iii), with Xxxxxxxx reimbursing Palomar for such Patent Costs within forty-five (45) of its receipt of an invoice therefor); provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.6(b), Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to offset fifty percent (50%) of such Patent Costs only (i) against royalties payable by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar pursuant to this Agreement, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter royalties in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales, and (ii) against TTPs payable by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar pursuant to this Agreement, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter TTPs in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales (and which offsets shall be applied first to amounts attributable to royalties and second to amounts attributable to TTPs). Subject to Section 6.6(b), offsets not exhausted in any Calendar Quarter shall be carried into future Calendar Quarters. Notwithstanding the above, either party may, upon prior written notice to the other party, in the case of Palomar, decline to have credits or offsets taken for up to fifty percent (50%) of, and in the case of Xxxxxxxx, decline to pay all of, the Patent Costs for any Joint Patent(s) in a particular country or particular countries, which notice shall apply only with respect to Patent Costs incurred after the date of delivery of such notice. The declining party shall assign to the other party all of such party’s rights, titles and interests in and to any such Joint Patent(s) (including any right to claim priority thereto) in the relevant country or countries whereupon such Joint Patent(s) shall become solely owned by the other party but shall remain subject to any license grants to the declining party by the other party hereunder.

(ii) Cooperation. Each party shall cooperate fully in the other party’s preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Joint Patents in accordance with this Section 8.3(c)(ii) (and in any other proceedings before a patent official or office with respect thereto). Such cooperation includes, without limitation, (A) promptly executing all papers and instruments or requiring employees to execute such papers and instruments as reasonable and appropriate so as to enable such party to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain the Joint Patents

-46-

in any country; and (B) promptly informing the other party of matters that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of any such Joint Patent, including provision of a copy of any official correspondence received by such party from a patent office in any country with respect to Joint Patents. In addition, with respect to any Joint Patents, for so long as such patent remains jointly owned, the party having prosecution responsibility therefor agrees to provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed submission to a patent office at least thirty (30) days prior to making such submission (unless such patent office allows less than sixty (60) days for the party having prosecution responsibility to make a submission, in which case the party shall provide the other party an opportunity to review and comment on any proposed submission to such patent office at least ten (10) days prior to making such submission). If the other party fails to provide comments within fifteen (15) days after receiving such draft submission (or, in the event the patent office allows less than sixty (60) days for the responsible party to make such submission, to provide comments within five (5) days after receiving such draft submission), the submission shall be deemed approved. If, however, the other party timely provides comments with respect to such draft submission, the responsible party agrees to reasonably consider such comments.

(iii) MGH Joint Patents. With respect to the MGH Joint Patents, because MGH has or will have rights to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain or otherwise be involved in the activities specified in this Section 8.3(c) for MGH Joint Patents, Palomar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause MGH to take the actions specified by this Section 8.3(c) in a manner consistent with the MGH Agreements, but Palomar shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under this Section 8.3(c) if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by MGH. To the extent that Palomar owes MGH for any Patent Costs arising from such patenting activities, those Patent Costs shall be treated as being incurred by the party that is controlling such activities for purposes of allocating Patent Costs under this Section 8.3(c), and to the extent that Xxxxxxxx is responsible for any Patent Costs under Section 8.3(c)(i), Xxxxxxxx shall reimburse Palomar for the Patents Costs Palomar owes MGH as provided therein.

8.4 Enforcement of Patents.

(a) Rights and Procedures for Certain Infringement of Palomar Patents During the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive License Period. For any infringement of one or more Palomar Patents that occurs during the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive License Period, the following provisions of this Section 8.4(a) shall apply.

(i) If either party determines that any Palomar Patent is being or was infringed by a Third Party’s activities during the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive License Period and that such infringement falls (in whole or in part) within the scope of the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive Licenses, it shall notify the other party in writing and provide it with any evidence of such infringement that is reasonably available.

(ii) Xxxxxxxx shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to remove any infringement referred to in Section 8.4(a)(i) with respect to any Palomar Patent by appropriate steps, including filing an infringement suit or taking other similar action. In the

-47-

event that Xxxxxxxx takes such steps to remove any such infringement, including by filing an infringement action, Xxxxxxxx shall be responsible for the costs and expenses relating thereto; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.6(b), Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to offset fifty percent (50%) of the total costs and expenses only (A) against royalties payable by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar pursuant to this Agreement, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter royalties in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales, and (B) against TTPs payable by Xxxxxxxx to Palomar pursuant to this Agreement, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter TTPs in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales (and which offsets shall be applied first to amounts attributable to such royalties and second to amounts attributable to TTPs). Subject to Section 6.6(b), offsets not exhausted in any Calendar Quarter shall be carried into future Calendar Quarters.

(iii) In the event that Xxxxxxxx fails within ninety (90) days following notice of any infringement referred to in Section 8.4(a)(i) to remove such infringement or file an infringement lawsuit, Palomar shall have the right (but not the obligation) to do so at Palomar’s sole expense.

(iv) The party other than the party enforcing the applicable Palomar Patent pursuant to this Section 8.4(a) (A) shall provide reasonable assistance to the party enforcing such patent, including providing access to relevant non-privileged documents and other evidence, making its employees available at reasonable business hours and for reasonable periods of time, and joining the action to the extent necessary to allow the enforcing party to maintain the action, (B) provided that in the case of Xxxxxxxx as the non-enforcing party, Xxxxxxxx may recover its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses pursuant to Section 8.4(e) and (C) provided that in the case of Palomar as the non-enforcing party, Xxxxxxxx shall pay Palomar’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and shall have right to off-set the full amount of them according to the procedure set forth in the proviso to the second to last full sentence and the last full sentence of Section 8.4(a)(ii) with the phrase “fifty percent (50%) of the total costs and expenses” therein to be read to refer instead to all of such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for such purposes. The other party shall have the right to participate or otherwise be involved in any suit prosecuted by the enforcing party at such other party’s sole cost and expense, which cost and expense may be recovered by such other party as provided in Section 8.3(e). If the other party elects to so participate or be involved, the enforcing party shall provide the other party and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with the enforcing party and its counsel regarding the prosecution of such suit (including reviewing the contents of any non-privileged correspondence, legal papers or other documents related thereto), and the enforcing party shall accede to reasonable requests of the other party regarding such enforcement.

(v) To the extent that a Third Party licensor has retained any right to enforce or otherwise be involved in the activities specified in this Section 8.4(a) for any Palomar Patents, Palomar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Third Party licensor to take the actions specified by this Section 8.4(a) in a manner consistent with the agreement(s) by which such Third Party retains such rights, but Palomar shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under Section 8.4(a) if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by such Third Party licensor. For example and without limitation, the MGH Patents are such Palomar Patents and the corresponding agreement(s) are the MGH Agreements.

-48-

(b) Rights and Procedures for Certain Infringement of Joint Patents.

(i) Joint Patents Exclusively Licensed to Xxxxxxxx under Section 4.1(a)(i). For any infringement of one or more Joint Patents that are subject to the license contained in Section 4.1(a)(i) and that occurs during the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive License Period, the following provisions of this Section 8.4(b)(i) shall apply: If either party determines that any Joint Patent is being or was infringed by a Third Party’s activities during the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive License Period and such infringement falls (in whole or in part) within the scope of such license grant, it shall notify the other party in writing and provide it with any evidence of such infringement that is reasonably available. To the extent that any such infringement falls within the scope of the Xxxxxxxx Exclusive Licenses, and only to such extent, Xxxxxxxx, at Xxxxxxxx’x sole expense, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to remove any such infringement with respect to any Joint Patent (but no other infringement with respect to any Joint Patent) by appropriate steps, including filing an infringement suit or taking other similar action. In the event that Xxxxxxxx fails within ninety (90) days following notice of such infringement to remove such infringement or file an infringement lawsuit, Palomar shall have the right (but not the obligation) to do so at Palomar’s sole expense; provided, however, that if Xxxxxxxx has commenced negotiations with an alleged infringer for discontinuance of such infringement within such ninety (90) day period, Xxxxxxxx shall have an additional ninety (90) days to conclude its negotiations before Palomar may bring suit for such infringement. The party not enforcing the applicable Joint Patent (A) shall provide reasonable assistance to the other party, including providing access to relevant non-privileged documents and other evidence, making its employees available at reasonable business hours, and joining the action to the extent necessary to allow the enforcing party to maintain the action, and (B) provided that in the case of Xxxxxxxx as the non-enforcing party, Xxxxxxxx may recover its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses pursuant to Section 8.4(e) and (C) provided that in the case of Palomar as the non-enforcing party, Xxxxxxxx shall pay Palomar’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and shall have right to off-set the full amount of them according to the procedure set forth in the proviso to the second to last full sentence and the last full sentence of Section 8.4(a)(ii) with the phrase “fifty percent (50%) of the total costs and expenses” to be read to refer instead to all of such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for such purposes. The other party shall have the right to participate or otherwise be involved in any suit prosecuted by the enforcing party at such other party’s sole cost and expense, which cost and expense may be recovered by such other party as provided in Section 8.4(e). If the other party elects to so participate or be involved, the enforcing party shall provide the other party and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with the enforcing party and its counsel regarding the prosecution of such suit (including reviewing the contents of any non-privileged correspondence, legal papers or other documents related thereto), and the enforcing party shall accede to reasonable requests of the other party regarding such enforcement.

(ii) Joint Patents Exclusively Licensed to Xxxxxxxx under Section 4.1(a)(iii). Pursuant to this Agreement, Palomar has granted to Xxxxxxxx a certain exclusive license with respect to Joint Patents under Section 4.1(a)(iii). If Palomar determines that any Joint Patent is being or was infringed by a Third Party’s activities and such infringement falls (in whole or in part) within the scope of such license grant, Palomar shall notify Xxxxxxxx in writing and provide it with any evidence of such infringement that is reasonably available. To the extent that any infringement falls within the scope of such license grant, and only to such

-49-

extent, Xxxxxxxx shall have the exclusive right (but not the obligation), at its sole expense, to attempt to remove such infringement (but no other infringement with respect to any Joint Patent), including filing an infringement suit or taking other similar action, and Palomar shall have no right of enforcement with respect thereto. Palomar shall provide reasonable assistance to Xxxxxxxx, including providing access to relevant non-privileged documents and other evidence, making its employees available at reasonable business hours, and joining the action to the extent necessary to allow Xxxxxxxx to maintain the action; provided that Xxxxxxxx shall reimburse Palomar for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Palomar to provide such reasonable assistance. Palomar shall have the right to participate or otherwise be involved in any suit prosecuted by Xxxxxxxx at Palomar’s sole cost and expense, which cost and expense may be recovered by Palomar from recoveries made by Xxxxxxxx on a pro rata basis with Gillette’s reasonable cost and expense related to such suit. If Palomar elects to so participate or be involved, Gillette shall provide Palomar and its counsel with an opportunity to consult with Gillette and its counsel regarding the prosecution of such suit (including reviewing the contents of any non-privileged correspondence, legal papers or other documents related thereto).

(iii) Joint Patents Exclusively Licensed to Palomar. Pursuant to this Agreement, Gillette has granted to Palomar certain exclusive license(s) with respect to Joint Patents, which are in effect as of the Effective Date or shall become effective upon certain termination events. Those exclusive license grants are contained in Sections 4.2(d), 10.7(b)(v), 10.7(c)(v), 10.7(d)(v) and 10.8(a)(v) (the “Palomar Exclusive Licenses”). The following provisions of this Section 8.4(b)(iii) shall apply to the enforcement of the Joint Patents during the period that any one or more of the Palomar Exclusive Licenses are in effect (the “Palomar Exclusive License Period”). If Gillette determines that any Joint Patent is being or was infringed by a Third Party’s activities during the Palomar Exclusive License Period for any Palomar Exclusive License and such infringement falls (in whole or in part) within the scope of such Palomar Exclusive License, Gillette shall notify Palomar in writing and provide it with any evidence of such infringement that is reasonably available. Palomar shall have the first right (but not the obligation), at its sole expense, to attempt to remove such infringement, including filing an infringement suit or taking other similar action. In the event that Palomar fails within ninety (90) days following notice of such infringement to remove such infringement or file an infringement lawsuit, Gillette shall have the right (but not the obligation) to do so at Gillette’s sole expense if Gillette reasonably concludes that such infringement is materially affecting Gillette’s commercialization of the Female Product(s); provided, however, that if Palomar has commenced negotiations with an alleged infringer for discontinuance of such infringement within such ninety (90) day period, Palomar shall have an additional ninety (90) days to conclude its negotiations before Gillette may bring suit for such infringement. The party not enforcing the applicable Joint Patents (A) shall provide reasonable assistance to the other party, including providing access to relevant non-privileged documents and other evidence, making its employees available at reasonable business hours, and joining the action to the extent necessary to allow the enforcing party to maintain the action. In the event that Gillette is the enforcing party, it shall reimburse Palomar for Palomar’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Palomar in connection with providing such assistance to Gillette. The party not enforcing the applicable Joint Patent(s) shall have the right to participate or otherwise be involved in any suit prosecuted by the enforcing party at such other party’s sole cost and expense, which cost and expense may be recovered by such other party as provided in Section 8.4(e). If such party elects to so participate or be involved, the enforcing party shall provide such party and its counsel with

-50-

an opportunity to consult with the enforcing party and its counsel regarding the prosecution of such suit (including reviewing the contents of any non-privileged correspondence, legal papers or other documents related thereto).

(c) Rights and Procedures for Certain Infringement of Both Joint Patents and Palomar Patents During the Gillette Exclusive License Period. In the event of any infringement by a Third Party of both a Palomar Patent(s) and a Joint Patent(s), which infringement would otherwise be subject to both Sections 8.4(a) and 8.4(b)(i) because such infringement occurred during the Gillette Exclusive License Period and falls (in whole or in part) within the scope of the Gillette Exclusive Licenses, the parties shall meet to discuss how to proceed with respect to such infringement, but only to the extent that such infringement falls within the scope of the Gillette Exclusive Licenses. If with respect to such infringement either party elects to enforce either the relevant Palomar Patent(s) or Joint Patent(s) under Section or, respectively, such enforcement shall be consistent with the terms of those Sections.

(d) MGH Joint Patents. With respect to the MGH Joint Patents, because MGH has or will have retained rights to enforce or otherwise be involved in the activities specified in Section 8.4(b), 8.4(c) and 8.4(g)(i) for MGH Joint Patents, Palomar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause MGH to take the actions specified by those Sections in a manner consistent with the MGH Agreements, but Palomar shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under those Sections if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by MGH.

(e) Certain Recoveries; Costs and Expenses. Any amounts recovered by either party pursuant to Section 8.4(a), 8.4(b) or 8.4(c), whether by settlement or judgment or otherwise, shall be used to reimburse the parties for their reasonable costs and expenses (whether directly incurred or offsetable against a party) in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such costs and expenses, and in the case in which Gillette is responsible for such costs and expenses subject to a right of offset under those Sections, to the extent that Gillette has offset any such costs or expenses as expressly permitted therein, subject to any other credits, offset or other reductions available to Gillette in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Gillette shall pay Palomar the aggregate offset amounts within forty-five (45) days of Gillette receiving such amounts), with any remainder being allocated between the parties based on the economic interests of the parties under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of enforcement of a Joint Patent, infringement of which falls partly outside of the fields exclusively licensed to Gillette, Gillette shall not retain any portion of such recovery relating to damages outside such fields.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the remainder shall be allocated in all events so that Palomar receives an amount at least equal to the amount owed by Palomar to MGH as a result of the enforcement of such MGH Patents or MGH Joint Patents or to such Third Party licensor as a result of the enforcement of such Palomar Patents so that Palomar does not incur any liability as a result of the license of such MGH Patents, MGH Joint Patents and such Palomar Patents.

-51-

(f) Settlement. Except with the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, neither party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any infringement identified in Sections 8.4(a), 8.4(b), 8.4(c) or 8.4(g)(ii) that would result in injunctive or other relief being imposed against the other party or would have a material adverse affect on the other party’s business.

(g) Retained Rights for Certain Palomar Patents, Gillette Patents and Joint Patents.

(i) Palomar Patents and Gillette Patents. Except as otherwise provided by the provisions of Section 8.4(a), 8.4(b) or 8.4(c), each party shall retain the sole right to enforce its Patents (e.g., in the case of Palomar, Palomar Patents, and in the case of Gillette, Gillette Patents) against all infringers at its sole cost and expense.

(ii) Joint Patents. In the event of any infringement of any Joint Patent that is not addressed by either Section 8.4(b)(i), 8.4(b)(ii) or 8.4(b)(iii), the parties shall meet to discuss how to proceed with respect to such infringement. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood that any infringement of any Joint Patent that is subject to those Sections shall not be subject to this Section 8.4(g)(ii) even in the event that the party(ies) having rights to enforce any such Joint Patent under those Sections declines to do so. If the parties are not able to agree on a course of action, either party may assert such Joint Patent and initiate an action with respect to such infringement, at its sole expense with no obligation to share any resulting recovery, provided that such party has given the other party the opportunity to join in such assertion and action and to share equally in any expenses and recoveries in connection therewith. The party not enforcing such Joint Patent shall provide reasonable assistance to the other party, at such other party’s expense, including providing access to relevant non-privileged documents and other evidence, making its employees available at reasonable business hours, and joining the action to the extent necessary to allow the enforcing party to maintain the action, provided that in the event that the non-enforcing party has not agreed to join in such assertion and action in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the enforcing party shall reimburse the non-enforcing party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the non-enforcing party to provide such reasonable assistance. In no event shall this Section 8.4(g)(ii) be construed or applied in any way to limit the ability of either party to practice or (sub)license any Joint Patent; provided, however, that once a party has commenced an action for infringement against a Third Party, the other party shall not grant to such Third Party a license under any Joint Patent that may nullify the action for any such infringement, with the understanding that the foregoing proviso shall not apply to a Third Party Collaboration entered into by either party after the commencement of such action but for which substantial good faith negotiations had occurred before such commencement. With respect to the MGH Joint Patents, because MGH has retained rights to enforce or otherwise be involved in the activities specified in this Section 8.4(g)(ii) for MGH Joint Patents, Palomar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause MGH to take the actions specified by this Section 8.4(g)(ii) in a manner consistent with the MGH Agreements, but Palomar shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under those Sections if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by MGH.

8.5 Infringement of Third Party Rights.

(a) Third Party Licenses. If (x) Gillette reasonably concludes, after consultation with Palomar and with an independent patent attorney reasonably acceptable to the parties, that one or more Patents have issued to a Third Party in any country such that Gillette cannot Exploit the Female Product(s) in such country without infringing such Patent or (y) as a result of any claim made against Gillette or sublicensees alleging that the Exploitation of the Female Product(s) by Gillette or any of its sublicensees infringes or misappropriates any Patent or any other intellectual property right of a Third Party in any country, a judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is taken within the time permitted for appeal, such that Gillette cannot Exploit the Female Product(s) in such country without infringing the Patent or other proprietary rights of such Third Party, then, in either case, Gillette shall have the right (but not the obligation) to negotiate and obtain a license from such Third Party as necessary for Gillette and its sublicensees to Exploit the Female Product(s) in such country. In the event that Gillette determines that a license from such Third Party is not commercially viable for Gillette and elects not to obtain a license from such Third Party, Gillette shall have no obligation to commercialize the Female Product(s) in such country(ies). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to Gillette’s entering into any such license with a Third Party, with respect to which license Gillette shall seek a right to offset royalties owed by Gillette to Palomar hereunder, Gillette shall confer with Palomar to discuss in good faith whether any design-around or other solutions are reasonably available to Gillette with respect to the allegedly infringing technology, provided that Gillette shall retain discretion as to whether to seek such license.

(b) Costs of Third Party License. In the event that Gillette obtains a license from such Third Party with respect to the Exploitation of Female Product(s) pursuant to Section 8.5(a), the royalties and other payments due from Gillette to such Third Party shall be allocated between the parties based on the intellectual property interests in the Female Product(s) or Manufacturing Processes relating thereto that is alleged to infringe the Third Party’s patents, as follows:

(i) In the event that the alleged infringement results solely or predominantly from Information or Inventions contained in such Female Product or Manufacturing Process that are Controlled by Gillette (other than as a result of this Agreement), Gillette shall be solely responsible for the royalties and other payments owed to such Third Party pursuant to such license, subject to Gillette’s right to adjust the royalty and TTP amounts owed by Gillette to Palomar pursuant to Section 6.1(h).

(ii) In the event that the alleged infringement results solely or predominantly from Information or Inventions contained in such Female Product or Manufacturing Process that are Controlled by Palomar (other than as a result of this Agreement) pursuant to rights under any Core Palomar Patent, Palomar shall be responsible for two-thirds and Gillette shall be responsible for one-third of the royalties and other payments owed to such Third Party pursuant to such license, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 8.5(b).

(iii) In the event that the alleged infringement results solely or predominantly from Information or Inventions contained in such Female Product or

-53-

Manufacturing Process that are Controlled by Palomar (other than as a result of this Agreement) pursuant to rights under any Non-Core Palomar Patent, Gillette shall be solely responsible for the royalties and other payments owed to such Third Party pursuant to such license, subject to Gillette’s right to adjust the royalty and TTP amounts owed by Gillette to Palomar pursuant to Section 6.1(h).

(iv) In the event that the alleged infringement results solely or predominantly from Information or Inventions contained in such Female Product or Manufacturing Process that are jointly-owned by Palomar and Gillette, Gillette shall be solely responsible for the royalties and other payments owed to such Third Party pursuant to such license, subject to Gillette’s right to adjust the royalty and TTP amounts owed by Gillette to Palomar pursuant to Section 6.1(h).

All payments to the Third Party pursuant to any such license shall be made by Gillette to such Third Party and, in the case of clause (ii) above, and subject to Section 6.6(b), Gillette’s only right of recovery with respect to Palomar’s two-thirds share of such payments shall be to offset Palomar’s share of such payments, on a country-by-country basis, only (A) against royalties payable by Gillette to Palomar pursuant to this Agreement, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter royalties in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales in each such country, and (B) against TTPs payable by Gillette to Palomar pursuant to this Agreement, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter TTPs in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales in each such country (and which offsets shall be applied first to amounts attributable to such royalties and second to amounts attributable to TTPs). Offsets not exhausted in any Calendar Quarter may be carried into future Calendar Quarters, subject to the foregoing sentence.

(i) In General. In the event that a Third Party institutes a patent, trade secret or other infringement suit against a party during the Exclusivity Period, alleging that the Exploitation of the Female Product infringes one or more patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights held by such Third Party (an “Infringement Suit”), then Gillette shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to assume direction and control of the defense of claims arising therefrom. If Gillette determines not to assume such direction and control, Palomar shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend against such claims. The party controlling the defense of an Infringement Suit shall have the right to compromise or settle any action or claims asserted against it by the Third Party; provided, however, that such controlling party shall consult with the other party before comprising or settling any such action or claim (which consultation shall include, without limitation, discussing in good faith whether any design-around or other solutions are reasonably available with respect to the allegedly infringing technology), and provided further that, such controlling party shall not compromise or settle, without the other party’s prior written consent, (a) actions or claims asserted against the other party, or (b) in the event that such compromise or settlement would result in injunctive relief being imposed against the other party.

(ii) Costs, Damages and Settlements. In the event that either party assumes control of any Infringement Suit described in Section 8.5(c)(i), all costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with the defense of such action, any damage

-54-

awards against either or both parties, and any settlements entered into by such party, if any, based on a claim that the Exploitation of the Female Product infringes one or more patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights held by such Third Party, shall be allocated as follows:

(1) In the event that the alleged infringement results solely or predominantly from Information or Inventions contained in such Female Product or Manufacturing Process that are Controlled by Palomar (other than as a result of this Agreement) pursuant to rights under any Core Palomar Patent, Palomar shall be responsible for two-thirds and Gillette shall be responsible for one-third of the costs and expenses incurred by the controlling party in connection with the action, and of the damage awards and settlements, if any, owed to such Third Party; provided, however, that all such amounts shall be paid by Gillette in the first instance and, subject to Section 6.6(b), Gillette’s only right of recovery with respect to Palomar’s two-thirds share of such amounts shall be to offset Palomar’s share of such amounts only (i) against royalties payable by Gillette to Palomar pursuant to this Agreement, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter royalties in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales in each such country, and (ii) against TTPs payable by Gillette to Palomar pursuant to this Agreement, which offset shall not exceed in any Calendar Quarter TTPs in the amount of one percent (1%) of Net Sales in each such country (and which offsets shall be applied first to amounts attributable to such royalties and second to amounts attributable to TTPs). Offsets not exhausted in any Calendar Quarter may be carried into future Calendar Quarters, subject to the foregoing sentence.

(2) In the event that the alleged infringement results solely or predominantly from Information or Inventions contained in such Female Product or Manufacturing Process that are Controlled by Palomar (other than as a result of this Agreement) pursuant to rights under any Non-Core Palomar Patent, by Gillette, or jointly by the parties, Gillette shall be solely responsible for all the costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with the action, and the damage awards and settlements, if any, owed to such Third Party.

(iii) Other Actions and Costs. Except as provided in Sections 8.5(c)(i) and 8.5(c)(ii), each party shall have the right to control any infringement action brought against it by a Third Party, and each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and liabilities in connection with any such infringement action.

(iv) Cooperation. With respect to the defense of an Infringement Suit, the non-controlling party shall provide reasonable assistance to the controlling party, including providing access to relevant non-privileged documents and other evidence, and making its employees available at reasonable business hours; provided that the controlling party shall reimburse the non-controlling party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the non-controlling party to provide such reasonable assistance, which out-of-pocket costs and expenses shall be subject to the allocation of costs provided for in Section 8.5(c)(ii).

(d) Retained Rights. Nothing in this Section 8.5 shall prevent either party, at its own expense, from obtaining any license or other rights from Third Parties it deems appropriate in order to permit the full and unhindered exercise of its rights under this Agreement.

-55-

8.6 Patent Marking. Each party shall mark, and shall cause all their agents and (sub)licensees to mark, all Products made, used or sold under the terms of this Agreement, or their containers, in accordance with all applicable United States patent-marking laws with respect any United States Patents licensed to such party by the other party under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

Confidentiality and Nondisclosure

9.1 Confidentiality Obligations.

(a) General Obligations. Except as provided herein, the parties agree that, during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years after this Agreement’s expiration or termination pursuant to ARTICLE X, each party shall hold in strict confidence and shall not publish or otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly, to any Third Party (other than their employees legal counsel, consultants, auditors and advisors who, except in the case of legal counsel, are bound in writing by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein, collectively, “Permitted Confidants”) any Confidential Information of the other party. During such period, a party shall not use for any purpose, directly or indirectly, Confidential Information of the other party or its or sublicensees furnished or otherwise made known to it, except as permitted hereunder. Access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information shall be restricted to Permitted Confidants of the receiving party, who, in each case, need to have access to carry out a permitted use. The Confidential Information, and all copies of part or all thereof, shall be and remain the exclusive property of the disclosing party, and the receiving party shall acquire only such rights as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and only for as long as such rights are in effect. Each party shall promptly report to the other any conduct relating to the other party’s Confidential Information inconsistent with the provisions of this ARTICLE IX, and take such action as may be reasonably necessary and legally permissible to terminate such conduct. Each party agrees to reproduce and include the other party’s proprietary rights notices or reasonable equivalents on any item that contains the other party’s Confidential Information. Subject to Sections 9.1(b) and 9.1(c), each party shall be free to disclose its own Confidential Information in its sole discretion.

(b) Palomar Obligations. Palomar recognizes that upon Gillette’s entry into this Agreement, Gillette has an interest in Palomar’s retention in confidence of certain information Controlled by Palomar. Accordingly, during the Exclusivity Period, Palomar shall, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to, keep confidential, and not publish or otherwise disclose to Third Parties (other than Permitted Confidants), and not use directly or indirectly for any purpose, any information that solely and directly relates to the Female Product Technology, the Palomar U.S. Regulatory Documentation, or the development, sales or marketing plans for the Female Product Technology, in each case only to the extent applicable in the Exclusive Field (the “Palomar Controlled Information”), except to the extent (i) the Palomar Controlled Information is in the public domain through no fault of Palomar or any of its officers, directors, employees and agents (because such Palomar Controlled Information entered the public domain prior to the Effective Date or otherwise), (ii) such disclosure or use would be permitted under Section 9.2 if such information were Confidential Information of Gillette, (iii) such disclosure or use is otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or is reasonably necessary for the performance of this Agreement or for the exercise of Palomar’s

-56-

rights expressly granted by this Agreement, or (iv) compliance with any of the restrictions contained in this Section 9.1 (b) would violate or otherwise conflict with any Third Party obligations of Palomar. For clarification, the disclosure by Palomar to Gillette or by Gillette to Palomar of Palomar Controlled Information shall not cause such information to cease to be subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Section 9.1 (b). All restrictions with respect to Palomar Controlled Information contained in this Section 9.1 (b) shall not apply to the use directly or indirectly for any purpose, or disclosure or publication, of any Palomar Controlled Information that has applicability outside of the Exclusive Field, notwithstanding the fact that the Palomar Controlled Information has applicability in the Exclusive Field.

(c) Gillette Obligations. Gillette recognizes that upon Palomar’s entry into this Agreement, Palomar has an interest in Gillette’s retention in confidence of certain information concerning Joint Technology for which Gillette granted Palomar an exclusive license pursuant to Section 4.2(d). Accordingly, during the term of this Agreement, Gillette shall, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to, keep confidential, and not publish or otherwise disclose to Third Parties (other than Permitted Confidents), and not use directly or indirectly for any purpose, any information concerning Joint Technology that solely and directly relates to Light-Based Products outside the Field (the “Gillette Controlled Information”), except to the extent (i) the Gillette Controlled Information is in the public domain through no fault of Gillette or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (because such Gillette Controlled Information entered the public domain prior to the Effective Date or otherwise), (ii) such disclosure or use would be permitted under Section 9.2 if such information were Confidential Information of Palomar, (iii) such disclosure or use is otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or is reasonably necessary for the performance of this Agreement or for the exercise of Gillette’s rights expressly granted by this Agreement, or (iv) compliance with any of the restrictions contained in this Section 9.1(c) would violate or otherwise conflict with any Third Party obligations of Gillette. For clarification, the disclosure by Gillette to Palomar or by Palomar to Gillette of Gillette Controlled Information shall not cause such information to cease to be subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Section 9. 1(c). All restrictions with respect to Gillette Controlled Information contained in this Section 9.1 (c) shall not apply to the use directly or indirectly for any purpose, or disclosure or publication, of any Gillette Controlled Information that has applicability in the Field, notwithstanding the fact that the Gillette Controlled Information has applicability outside the Field.

9.2 Permitted Disclosures. Each party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is:

(a) Made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other supra-national, federal, national, regional, state, provincial or local governmental or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that, except where impracticable for certain disclosures (e.g., in the event of medical emergency), the receiving party shall first have given notice to the disclosing party and given the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order and to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued; and provided further that if a disclosure order is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the

-57-

Confidential Information disclosed in response to such court or governmental order shall be limited to that information which is legally required to be disclosed in response to such court or governmental order;

(b) Otherwise required by Applicable Law as reasonably determined by counsel to the receiving party;

(c) Made by the receiving party as may be reasonably necessary or useful in connection with preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, enforcing and defending Joint Technology;

(d) Made by the receiving party as may be reasonably necessary or useful to prosecute and/or defend litigation, Disputes or other disputes between the parties;

(e) Made by the receiving party to the Regulatory Authorities as required in connection with any filing, application or request for Regulatory Approval; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information; or

(f) Made by the receiving party or its sublicensees to Third Parties as may be necessary or useful in connection with permitted subcontracting and (sub)licensing transactions (including for purposes of Manufacturing), provided that such Third Parties are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein.

9.3 Confidential Information.

(a) Defined. “Confidential Information” of a party shall mean all information and know-how and any tangible embodiments thereof provided by or on behalf of such party to the other party either in connection with the discussions and negotiations pertaining to this Agreement or in the course of performing this Agreement, including data; knowledge; practices; processes; ideas; research plans; engineering designs and drawings; research data; manufacturing processes and techniques; scientific, manufacturing, marketing and business plans; and financial and personnel matters relating to the disclosing party or to its present or future products, sales, suppliers, customers, employees, investors or business but excluding the actual terms included in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Confidential Information of each party shall include any and all information provided by one party to the other directly relating to Female Products, (ii) Confidential Information of both parties shall include all Joint Inventions until such time as the parties decline to pursue patent protection on them, (iii) Gillette Confidential Information shall include all Gillette Technology, and (iv) Palomar Confidential Information shall include (1) Palomar Technology, and (2) as provided in Section 8.1(c), all Joint Inventions and Joint Technology related thereto solely owned by Palomar until such time (if any) that Palomar assigns an interest in them to Gillette.

(b) Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information or know-how of a party shall not be deemed Confidential Information with respect to a receiving party for purposes of this Agreement if such information or know-how:

(i) was already known to the receiving party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use, at the time of disclosure to, or, with respect to know-how, discovery or development by, such receiving party;

-58-

(ii) was generally available or known, or was otherwise part of the public domain, at the time of its disclosure to, or, with respect to know-how, discovery or development by, such receiving party;

(iii) became generally available or known, or otherwise became part of the public domain, after its disclosure to, or, with respect to know-how, discovery or development by, such receiving party through no fault of a party other than the party that Controls such information and know-how;

(iv) was disclosed to such receiving party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use, by a Third Party who had no obligation to the party that Controls such information and know-how not to disclose such information or know-how to others; or

(v) was independently discovered or developed by such receiving party, as evidenced by their written records, without the use of Confidential Information belonging to the party that Controls such information and know-how.

Specific aspects or details of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the public domain or in the possession of a party merely because the Confidential Information is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of such party. Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of a party merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of such party unless the combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of such party.

9.4 Use of Name. Except as expressly permitted by Section 9.5, neither party shall use the name or any other insignia, symbol, trademark, trade name or logotype of the other party (or any abbreviation or adaptation thereof) in any publication, press release, promotional material or other form of publicity without the prior written approval of such other party in each instance.

Gillette understands and agrees that Palomar shall submit this Agreement to the SEC and Palomar agrees to submit to the SEC, and consult with Gillette with respect to the preparation and submission of, a confidential treatment request for the Exhibits attached hereto.

If such other party does not respond within such two (2) business day period, the press release or public disclosure shall be deemed approved. If a party obtains the approval of the other party to make a public disclosure pursuant to this Section 9.5 in connection with a press release, or a filing with or other submission to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or other regulatory authority, or if such press release, filing or submission is otherwise approved pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 9.5, the party that has obtained (or is deemed to have obtained) approval to make a disclosure shall be permitted to make subsequent public disclosures containing statements that are substantially similar to the statements contained in such previously permitted disclosures, without seeking the prior approval of the other party with respect to such subsequent disclosures; provided, however, that in the event that any such subsequent public disclosure is to be made other than in a filing or submission to the SEC, prior approval shall be required if such subsequent disclosure will occur not more than thirty (30) days after the initial disclosure was approved (or deemed approved, as the case may be). Except to the extent otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, if a public disclosure is required by Applicable Law, as reasonably determined by counsel to the party seeking to make a disclosure, including in a filing with or other submission to the SEC, and (a) such party has provided copies of the disclosure to the other party as far in advance of such filing or other disclosure as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, (b) such party has promptly notified the other party in writing of such requirement and any respective timing constraints, and (c) such party has given the other party a reasonable time under the circumstances from the date of notice by such party of the required disclosure to comment upon, request confidential treatment or approve such disclosure, then such party shall have the right to make such public disclosure at the time and in the manner reasonably determined by its counsel to be required by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is hereby understood and agreed that if in each case set forth in this Section 9.5, the other party provides comments within the respective time periods or constraints specified herein or within the respective notice, the party seeking to make such disclosure or its counsel, as the case may be, shall in good faith (i) consider incorporating such comments and (ii) use reasonable efforts to incorporate such comments, limit disclosure or obtain confidential treatment to the extent reasonably requested by the other party.

9.6 Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that breach of any of the terms of this ARTICLE IX would cause irreparable harm and damage to the other and that such damage may not be ascertainable in money damages and that as a result thereof the non-breaching party would be entitled to seek from a court as is contemplated by Section 13.3 equitable or injunctive relief restraining any breach or future violation of the terms contained herein by the breaching party without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting bond. Such right to equitable relief is in addition to whatever remedies either party may be entitled to as a matter of law or equity, including money damages, which other remedies are subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning the resolution of Disputes.

9.7 Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, each receiving party shall (i) return to the disclosing party all Confidential Information provided in writing by the disclosing party to the receiving party, and (ii) destroy copies of memoranda and notes prepared by the receiving party or any of its employees or agents that contain Confidential Information of the disclosing party; provided, however, that the receiving party may retain

-60-

copies of such Confidential Information in which such party has a proprietary or licensed interest that survives termination; provided, further, that the terms of clause (i) and clause (ii) of this Section 9.7 shall not apply with respect to any Confidential Information contained in reports to a party’s board of directors or executive committees (or to the extent reference is made thereto in board minutes or similar documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party and its legal counsel may each retain a copy of such Confidential Information and memoranda and notes to be used only in exercising the receiving party’s rights and performing the receiving party’s obligations under this Agreement, including in the case of a dispute concerning this Agreement. The return of any Confidential Information will not relieve the receiving party of any of its obligations hereunder.

9.8 Termination of Prior Non-Disclosure Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the Non-Disclosure Agreement between the parties dated April 24, 2001, as amended effective as of April 9, 2002 and May 6, 2002 and January 21, 2003 (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”), but only insofar as such Confidentiality Agreement relates to the subject matter of this Agreement. All Confidential Information (as defined in the Non-Disclosure Agreement) exchanged between the parties under the Non-Disclosure Agreement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information hereunder and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

9.9 Publication. With respect to any right of publication in favor of MGH under any MGH Agreement (and only to the extent of MGH’s rights under any MGH Agreement), in the event that MGH seeks to publish or present any Joint Technology pursuant to rights granted to it in such agreement(s), the following procedures shall govern: Promptly upon receipt of notice from MGH that it desires to make any such presentation or publication, Palomar shall provide to Gillette the opportunity to review any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or presentations (including information to be presented verbally) that contains any Joint Technology at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended submission of such abstract or manuscript for publication, or at least seven (7) days prior to the intended delivery of such presentation.

Any publications of a Party under this Section 9.9 shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations of this ARTICLE IX. In all other respects, except as required by Applicable Law, neither party shall have the right to publish or present (or to permit its (sub)licensees, subcontractors, employees or agents to publish or present) any Joint Technology, except with the prior written consent of the other party.

The foregoing indemnification obligation of Palomar shall include, without limitation, Losses based on or arising out of (1) any representation, warranty or agreement that is made by Palomar to any Third Party with respect to any product described in clause (a)

11.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Notice of Third Party Claim. The indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Third Party Claim upon which such indemnified party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 11.1 or 11.2, but in no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for any Losses that directly result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the Third Party Claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The indemnified party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses. All Third Party Claims in respect of a party, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be made solely by such party to this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”).

(b) Control of Defense. At its option, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim legal counsel selected by the indemnifying party,

-75-

provided that such counsel for the indemnifying party shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Party. In the event the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any indemnified party in connection with the Third Party Claim.

(c) Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 11.3(b), any indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing, (B) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 11.3(b) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (C) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim, in which case the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm serving as counsel for the Indemnified Party, which law firm shall be subject to reasonable approval by the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely and materially affect the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, the indemnifying party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 11.3(b), the indemnifying party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided (i) it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Third Party to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such Third Party Claim. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of the indemnifying party, unless the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 11.3(b). In the event that (i) an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification from the indemnifying party under this ARTICLE XI for a Third Party Claim, and (ii) the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect thereto, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.

(e) Cooperation. In the event that an indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each other indemnified party to, cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as the indemnifying

-76-

party may reasonably request in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the indemnifying party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making indemnified parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(f) Expenses. Except as provided above, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the indemnifying party, without prejudice to the indemnifying party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification.

13.1 In General.

(a) Except as provided in Section 13.2, if a dispute arises between the parties in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith (a “Dispute”), the parties shall use the following procedures to resolve such Dispute(s).

(i) A meeting shall be held between the parties within ten (10) days after either party gives written notice of a Dispute to the other party (the “Dispute Notice”). The meeting shall be attended by a representative of each party having decision-making authority regarding the Dispute (subject to Board of Directors or equivalent approval, if required), who shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute.

(ii) In the event that such representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of such meeting, either party may, by written notice to the other, invoke the following mediation: the parties shall try in good faith to resolve such dispute by mediation administered by the Center for Public Resources (“CPR”) in accordance with the then current CPR Model Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes, provided that specific provisions of this Section 13.1(a)(ii) shall override inconsistent provisions of such CPR Model Procedure. The mediator shall be selected from the CPR Panel of Neutrals and the location of the mediation shall be in Boston, Massachusetts.

All aspects of any such mediation, including any resolution or decision relating thereto, shall be confidential and all participants, including the mediator, shall be bound by judicially enforceable obligations of strict confidentiality except to the extent the parties agree in writing to waive in whole or part such confidentiality.

(iii) If the parties have not succeeded in negotiating a written resolution of the Dispute after following the procedures specified in Sections 13.1(a)(i) and 13.1(a)(ii), either party may exercise any and all of its judicial rights and remedies to resolve the Dispute.

(b) The parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) shall be tolled while the procedures set forth in this 13.1 are pending, and the parties shall cooperate in taking any and all actions necessary to achieve such a result.

13.2 Disputes Regarding Gillette’s Rights in the Male Field. In the event that the parties are not able to agree on the terms and conditions to be included in a definitive agreement between the parties concerning the Male Field as provided in Section 5.1, the following procedures shall apply:

(a) At the request of either party, the parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith jointly to appoint a mutually acceptable neutral Person not affiliated with either party (the “Neutral”). If the parties are not able to agree on an acceptable Neutral within thirty (30) days after such request, the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution shall be responsible for selecting a qualified, disinterested and conflict-free Neutral within fifteen (15) days of being approached by either party. The Neutral selected pursuant to this Section 13.2(a) shall be a Person who has at least fifteen (15) years of business experience with one or more pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device companies, and shall have had significant experience negotiating licensing agreements in the pharmaceutical or medical device industries. The Neutral shall conduct an arbitration (the “ADR”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 13.2 and the fees and costs of the Neutral and the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution shall be shared equally by the parties.

(b) Within sixty (60) days after such matter is referred to ADR, each party shall provide the Neutral with proposed terms and conditions to be included in the Male Collaboration Agreement, including proposed financial terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”), together with a written memorandum in support of such proposed Terms and Conditions, including where possible an analysis of the market potential of the Subject Male Product, as well as any documentary evidence in support thereof and the Neutral shall provide the proposed terms and conditions to the other party after it receives the proposed terms and conditions from both parties.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after a party submits its proposed Terms and Conditions, the other party shall have the right to respond thereto (but neither party may change its proposed Terms and Conditions). The response and any material in support thereof shall be provided to the Neutral and the other party.

-84-

(d) The Neutral shall have the right to meet with the parties as necessary to inform the Neutral’s determination. Within fifteen (15) days of the receipt by the Neutral of both parties’ responses, the Neutral shall select the Terms and Conditions proposed by one of the parties that as a whole is the most fair and reasonable to the parties in light of the totality of the circumstances. The Neutral must select the Terms and Conditions proposed by one or the other of the parties; the Neutral may not combine or otherwise modify the parties’ proposals.

(e) The parties shall cooperate in good faith to enter into a Male Collaboration Agreement that contains such Terms and Conditions no later than thirty (30) days of the date of the Neutral’s written notice of its determination.

(f) In the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement on the form of the Male Collaboration Agreement within thirty (30) days of the date of the Neutral’s written notice of its determination, each party shall submit to the Neutral such party’s proposed version of such definitive agreement (which version shall contain the Terms and Conditions selected by the Neutral). The Neutral shall, within thirty (30) days of such date, select the form of definitive agreement proposed by one of the parties that as a whole is the most fair and reasonable to the parties in light of the totality of the circumstances. The parties shall execute the form of definitive agreement selected by the Neutral not later than five (5) business days following the selection by the Neutral of the form of definitive agreement and such agreement shall be legal, valid and binding and enforceable against the parties.

13.3 Interim Relief. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this ARTICLE XIII shall preclude either party from seeking interim or provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief concerning a Dispute, either prior to or during the ADR, if necessary to protect the interests of such party. This Section 13.3 shall be specifically enforceable.

ARTICLE XIV

Miscellaneous

14.1 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be held liable or responsible to the other party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority. The non-performing party shall notify the other party of such force majeure within ten (10) days after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect.

-87-

the suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remedy its inability to perform; provided, however, that in the event the suspension of performance continues for one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the occurrence, and such failure to perform would constitute a material breach of this Agreement in the absence of such force majeure, the performing party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.3 by written notice to the other party.

14.2 Assignment.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, neither party shall sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided, however, that either party may, without such consent, and upon written notice to the other party, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate, to the purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets or business to which this Agreement relates, or to its successor entity or acquirer (the “Acquiring Party”) in the event of a merger, consolidation or change in control of such party. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void and of no effect. All validly assigned and delegated rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns of Gillette or Palomar, as the case may be.

(b) Subject to Section 14.2(c), in the event of any permitted assignment by either party to an Acquiring Party pursuant to Section 14.2(a), (i) no Information and Inventions or Patents or other intellectual property rights of any Acquiring Party or its Affiliates in such assignment shall be deemed “Controlled” for any purpose hereunder if such Information and Inventions, Patents or other intellectual property rights were not so Controlled by such party prior to such assignment, and (ii) any contractual restrictions on the Technology, Patents and other intellectual property rights and other assets of the acquired party shall be binding on the acquiring entity as a whole, and (iii) any contractual restrictions on the acquired party’s business activities hereunder shall apply only to the division or entity of the Acquiring Party into which the acquired party is merged, or into which the acquired party’s assets are transferred.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.2(b) to the contrary, in the event of any permitted assignment by either party to an Acquiring Party, the party assigning its rights and obligations hereunder shall include in the agreement providing for such assignment terms and conditions that (i) require the Acquiring Party to restrict access to any Technology for use in the Field, or other Confidential Information, in each case that is the subject of the license or other rights granted by or to the acquired party in this Agreement, to only those scientific, technical or other personnel employed by or assigned to the division or entity of the Acquiring Party into which the acquired party is merged, or into which the acquired party’s assets are transferred, and (ii) prohibit the Acquiring Party from using or accessing in connection with other research, development or commercialization projects and activities in the Field any such Technology or Confidential Information, in each case to the extent that such

-86-

access or use would constitute a violation of any contractual restriction in this Agreement if the acquired party’s rights and interests in and to such Technology or Confidential Information had not been assigned to the Acquiring Party.

(d) Prior to or during the R&D Period, in the event of any permitted assignment by Palomar to an Acquiring Party, for a period of thirty (30) days after Palomar and the Acquiring Party enter into the definitive agreement for such permitted assignment, Gillette shall have the right, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Palomar (and such Acquiring Party), which notice must be provided within such thirty-day period, to withdraw from R&D Activities and to pursue independently the research, development and commercialization of any Female Product, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Second Decision Point shall be deemed to be the date occurring x months after the Effective Date, where “x” is the sum of 42 months and the number of months of slippage in the R&D Plan as of the date of such notice (as determined by reference to the schedule set forth in the Initial R&D Plan);

(ii) Gillette shall pay Palomar three million dollars (US $3,000,000), in the manner provided in Section 6.9, upon such withdrawal, which payment shall be fully creditable against the Second Development Completion Payment Date;

(iii) the license grants to Palomar set forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) shall be automatically terminated, and the license grant to Palomar set forth in Section 4.2(c) shall be subject to termination, in the sole discretion of Gillette, upon five (5) days’ prior written notice to Palomar; and

(iv) not earlier than the later to occur of the second anniversary of the Effective Date and the first anniversary of such permitted assignment, Gillette in its sole discretion may, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Palomar, cause Palomar to disclose to Gillette all Information and Inventions relating to or comprising the most commercially promising Male Product that is in Palomar’s Control and that Palomar has, directly or indirectly, conceived or developed as of the date of such notice, including any information set forth in Section 5.1(b)(ii) with respect to such Male Product Opportunity that is in Palomar’s Control; provided, however, that such disclosure by Palomar shall trigger the Option Exercise Period for purposes of Section 5.1(b)(iv), notwithstanding the fact that Palomar may not have conducted the testing described in Section 5.1(b)(i) with respect to such Male Product Opportunity; and provided, further, that in the event that Gillette shall exercise the Male Option with respect thereto, then the Male Collaboration Agreement to be entered into between the parties shall provide for all future research and development activities with respect to such Male Product Opportunity to be conducted solely by Gillette and shall reflect the changes to the deal structure in the Female Field effected by this Section 14.2(d).

From and after the date of such withdrawal by Gillette, Gillette shall have no obligation to make any further R&D Payment to Palomar or the Acquiring Party, and Gillette shall have the right to seek and obtain Regulatory Approval in the United States for the Female Product(s) under development by the parties at the time of Gillette’s withdrawal from the R&D Activities and shall have a right to reference and otherwise use any Palomar U.S. Regulatory Documentation in connection therewith.

WHEREAS, PALOMAR having such capacity, desires to commercially develop, manufacture, use and distribute such products throughout the world;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the faithful performance of the covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 (a) The term “ACCOUNTING PERIOD” shall mean each six month period ending June 30 and December 31.

(b) The term “AGREEMENT YEAR” shall mean the twelve (12) month period beginning on August 18, 1995 and each succeeding twelve (12) month period thereafter for the term of the Agreement. If not otherwise specified, terms involving time periods shall be applied pro rata according to any time frame in which less than the full specified period is involved.

1.2 The term “AFFILIATE” shall mean any corporation or other legal entity other than PALOMAR in whatever country organized, controlling, controlled by or under common control with PALOMAR. The term “control” means possession, direct or indirect, of the powers to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. The term “AFFILIATE” with respect to GENERAL shall mean any company controlling, controlled by, or under common control, directly or indirectly, with GENERAL.

1.3 The term “LICENSE FIELD” shall, subject to Exhibit B hereof, mean hair reduction and/or removal.

1.4 The term “FIRST COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION” shall mean in each country the first exploitation by way of sale of any PRODUCT or performance of a SERVICE, by PALOMAR, its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSES, (a) following approval, when such approval is necessary, for the marketing of such PRODUCT or the performance of such SERVICE, by the appropriate governmental agency for the country in which the exploitation is to be made, or (b) when such government approval is not required in a country, the first sale of such PRODUCT or performance of such SERVICE in that country.

1.5 The term “SUBLICENSEE” shall mean any non-AFFILIATE third party licensed by PALOMAR or by an AFFILIATE to make, have made, use or sell any PRODUCT or SERVICE.

1.6 The term “NET REVENUES” shall mean the GROSS REVENUES as defined in (b) below received by PALOMAR or any of its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES for the sale or distribution of any PRODUCT or for the performance of any SERVICE, less (to the extent appropriately documented) the following amounts actually paid out by PALOMAR, its AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEES or credited against the GROSS REVENUES received by them:


(a)	(i)	credits and allowances for price adjustment, rejection, or return of PRODUCTS previously sold or SERVICES previously performed, including reductions imposed by Medicare, Medicaid or an HMO;

	(ii)	rebates and cash discounts to customers allowed and taken;

	(iii)	amounts for transportation, insurance, handling or shipping charges to customers;

(iv)

taxes, duties and other governmental charges levied on or measured by the sale of PRODUCTS or SERVICES, whether absorbed by PALOMAR or paid by the purchaser so long as PALOMAR’S price is reduced thereby, but not franchise or income taxes of any kind whatsoever;

(v)

for any revenues in which the United States government on the basis of its royalty-free license pursuant to 35 USC Sec. 202(C) to any PATENT RIGHT requires that the GROSS REVENUES of any PRODUCT or SERVICE subject to such PATENT RIGHT, be reduced by the amount of such royalty owed GENERAL pursuant to paragraph 3.1, the amount of such royalty.

(b) For any bone fide sale, lease, license, rental or other disposition of a PRODUCT or bona fide performance of a SERVICE to a bona fide customer by PALOMAR, its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, the GROSS REVENUE shall be the gross billing price of the PRODUCT or the gross billing price for the SERVICES, respectively.

(c) If PALOMAR or any of its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES sell any PRODUCT in a bona fide sale as a component of a combination of active functional elements, the GROSS REVENUE of the PRODUCT shall be determined by multiplying the GROSS REVENUE of the combination by the fraction A over A + B, in which “A” is the GROSS REVENUE of the PRODUCT portion of the combination when sold separately during the ACCOUNTING PERIOD in the country in which the sale was made, and “B” is the GROSS REVENUE of the other active elements of the combination sold separately during said ACCOUNTING PERIOD in said country. In the event that no separate sale of either such PRODUCT or active elements of the combination is made during said ACCOUNTING PERIOD in said country, the GROSS REVENUE of the PRODUCT shall be determined by multiplying the GROSS REVENUE of such combination by the fraction C over C + D, in which “C” is the standard fully-absorbed cost of the PRODUCT portion of such combination, and “D” is the sum of the standard fully-absorbed costs of the other active elements component(s), such costs being arrived at using the standard accounting procedures of PALOMAR which will be in accord with generally accepted accounting practices.

(d) If PALOMAR, or any of its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, commercially uses or disposes of any PRODUCT by itself (as opposed to a use or disposition of the PRODUCT as a component of a combination of active functional elements) other than in a bona fide sale to a bona fide customer, the GROSS SALES PRICE hereunder shall be the price which would be then payable in an arm’s length transaction. If PALOMAR, or any of its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, commercially uses or disposes of any PRODUCT as a component of a combination of active functional elements other than in a bona fide sale to a bona fide customer, the GROSS SALES PRICE of the PRODUCT

shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (c) above, using as the GROSS SALES PRICE of the combination that price which would be then payable in an arm’s length transaction.

(e) Transfer of a PRODUCT within PALOMAR or between PALOMAR and an AFFILIATE for sale by the transferee shall not be considered a sale, commercial use or disposition for the purpose of the foregoing paragraphs; in the case of such transfer the GROSS REVENUE shall be based on sale of the PRODUCT by the transferee.

1.7 The term “PATENT RIGHT” shall mean the U.S. Patent Application filed by Xx. Xxxxxxxx, et. al. on February 1, 1995 entitled “Permanent Hair Removal Using Optical Pulses,” or the equivalent of such application, including any division, continuation or any foreign patent application or Letters Patent or the equivalent thereof issuing thereon or reissue, reexamination or extension thereof.

PATENT RIGHT which is known to Xx. Xxxxxxxx on the EFFECTIVE DATE and disclosed to Palomar within thirty (30) days of the date on which this Agreement is fully executed. This term shall also include information which is disclosed to PALOMAR by GENERAL in accordance with, and during the term of, the Clinical Trial Agreement and which pertains to any PATENT RIGHT claiming an Invention as defined in said Agreement.

1.11 The term “VALID CLAIM” shall mean any claim of any PATENT RIGHT that has not been (i) finally rejected or (ii) declared invalid by a patent office or court of competent jurisdiction in any unappealed and unappealable decision.

2. LICENSE

2.1 GENERAL hereby grants PALOMAR, subject to the rights of the United States Government:

(a)

an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license in the LICENSE FIELD under GENERAL’s rights in PATENT RIGHTS to make, have made, use and sell PRODUCTS and to perform SERVICES;

(b)

the right to sublicense (i) PATENT RIGHTS exclusively licensed to PALOMAR and (ii) PATENT RIGHTS non-exclusively licensed to PALOMAR to the extent such a sublicense is required for a customer to use a PRODUCT or to practice a SERVICE.

All licenses pursuant to this paragraph 2.1 are subject to the rights, conditions and limitations imposed by U.S. law with respect to inventions made in the performance of federally funded research.

The above licenses to sell PRODUCTS include the right to grant to the purchaser of products from PALOMAR, its AFFILIATES, and SUBLICENSEES the right to use such purchased PRODUCTS in a method coming within the scope of PATENT RIGHT.

2.2 The granting of any license hereunder is subject to GENERAL’s and GENERAL’s AFFILIATES’ right to make and to use the subject matter described and claimed in PATENT RIGHT for research and clinical purposes but for no other purpose.

2.3 Within thirty (30) days of EFFECTIVE DATE, upon request by PALOMAR, GENERAL shall disclose to PALOMAR, TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION which PALOMAR will be entitled to use to the extent such use does not infringe any GENERAL patent not licensed to PALOMAR hereunder. GENERAL represents to the best of its knowledge after reasonable enquiry there are no GENERAL patents or applications not licensed hereunder which would be infringed by such use.

2.4 Subject to Exhibit B hereof, GENERAL shall have the right to license any PATENT RIGHT to any other party for the purpose of manufacturing, using or selling of any PRODUCT or performance of any SERVICE outside of the LICENSE FIELD.

2.5 It is understood that nothing herein shall be construed to xxxxx XXXXXXX a license express or implied under any patent owned solely or jointly by General other than the PATENT RIGHTS expressly licensed hereunder, provided that, in the event that GENERAL’s Office of Technology Affairs (“OTA”) is notified of a patentable invention assigned or assignable to GENERAL which OTA believes would, if patented, be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of a PRODUCT or SERVICE (“Dominant Invention”), and in the event that at the time OTA is notified of said Dominant Invention, no third party has been granted exclusive rights, or an option to exclusive rights, in said Dominant Invention, OTA shall give PALOMAR notice of said Dominant Invention and give PALOMAR an opportunity to negotiate an exclusive or non-exclusive license under GENERAL’s rights in said Dominant Invention, whichever is available, it being understood that GENERAL shall have no obligation to enter into such a license with PALOMAR.

3. DUE DILIGENCE OBLIGATIONS

3.1 PALOMAR shall itself, or through its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, use reasonable efforts to develop and make commercially available PRODUCTS for commercial sales and distribution throughout the world in the LICENSE FIELD. Such efforts shall consist of:

(a) Entering into the Clinical Trial Agreement with General attached hereto as Exhibit A and providing the funding specified in said Agreement;

(b) Commencing the commercial sale of the PRODUCT or SERVICES outside the United States within three (3) months after tests on a normal mode ruby laser have been completed and approval has been received from the Principal Investigator (see Clinical Trial Agreement) that such laser works acceptably;

(c) Filing with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a 510(k) on any PRODUCT within three (3) months of receipt of clinical data from GENERAL sufficient for such filing, it being understood that GENERAL is providing such data to PALOMAR pursuant to the Clinical Trial Agreement. In the event that GENERAL fails to provide such data, GENERAL and PALOMAR shall confer to establish a reasonable procedure and schedule to secure approval for such PRODUCT, and in the event that GENERAL and PALOMAR cannot agree on such procedure and schedule they shall resolve this issue in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of paragraph 10.9;

(d) Commencing the commercial sale of the PRODUCT or SERVICES within the United States within six (6) months after FDA clearance is received.

However, GENERAL shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any revision in such time periods whenever requested in writing by PALOMAR and supported by evidence of technical difficulties or delays in clinical studies or regulatory processes that the parties could not have reasonably avoided. Failure to achieve one or more of the above objectives within the above stated time periods or within any extension granted by GENERAL shall result in GENERAL having the right to cancel upon thirty (30) days notice any exclusive license granted hereunder or convert any exclusive license to a non-exclusive license.

3.2 At intervals no longer than every six (6) months, PALOMAR shall report in writing to GENERAL on progress made toward the foregoing objectives.

4. FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PATENT RIGHT

4.1 GENERAL shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patent applications and patents included in PATENT RIGHTS. PALOMAR shall reimburse GENERAL for all reasonable costs (“Costs”) incurred by GENERAL for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all PATENT RIGHTS as follows:

(a) Subject to paragraph 4.2, for all Costs incurred by GENERAL from and after the EFFECTIVE DATE, PALOMAR shall pay such Costs directly to legal counsel upon receipt of invoices from GENERAL or legal counsel;

(b) For all Costs incurred by GENERAL prior to the EFFECTIVE DATE, PALOMAR shall reimburse GENERAL within thirty (30) days of the date on which this Agreement is executed by the last party to sign.

4.2 With respect to any PATENT RIGHT, each document or a draft thereof pertaining to the filing, prosecution, or maintenance of such PATENT RIGHT, including but not limited to each patent application, office action, response to office action, request for terminal disclaimer, and request for reissue or reexamination of any patent issuing from such application shall be provided to PALOMAR as follows. Documents received from any patent office or counsel’s analysis thereof shall be provided promptly after receipt. For a document to be filed in any patent office, a draft of such document shall be provided sufficiently prior to its filing, to allow for review and comment by the other party. If as a result of the review of any such document, PALOMAR shall elect not to pay or continue to pay the Costs for such PATENT RIGHT, PALOMAR shall so notify GENERAL within thirty (30) days of

PALOMAR’s receipt of such document and PALOMAR shall thereafter be relieved of the obligation to pay any additional Costs regarding such PATENT RIGHT incurred after the receipt of such notice by GENERAL. Such U.S. or foreign patent application or patent shall thereupon cease to be a PATENT RIGHT hereunder and GENERAL shall be free to license its rights to that particular U.S. or foreign patent application or patent to any other party on any terms. PALOMAR shall also have the right to provide comments and recommendations on any action proposed to be taken by GENERAL and GENERAL agrees to take into account PALOMAR’s recommendations. Where a course of action is followed on a PATENT RIGHT which is both contrary to PALOMAR’s recommendations and which increases costs over such recommendation, PALOMAR shall only be responsible for costs which would have been incurred had its recommendation been followed.

5. ROYALTIES; LICENSE FEES

5.1 (a) PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL a license issue fee of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) as follows:

(i) Within thirty (30) days of the date of the execution of this Agreement by the last party to sign hereunder, PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), one half of which shall be creditable against future royalties paid pursuant to paragraphs 5.1 (b) hereunder;

(ii) On or before January 10, 1996, PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) no portion of which shall be creditable against future royalties.

(b) Beginning with the FIRST COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION in any country, on all sales of PRODUCTS anywhere in the world by PALOMAR, its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL royalties in accordance with the following schedule, subject to Exhibit B hereof, such undertaking and schedule having been agreed to for the purpose of reflecting and advancing the mutual convenience of the parties.

(i) For: (A) each PRODUCT sold by PALOMAR or its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES consisting of (1) a ruby laser or (2) any other laser sold solely for hair removal, or (3) any non-laser equipment/disposables used for the practice of a SERVICE, and

(B) any non-laser equipment/disposable sold by PALOMAR or AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES which are not PRODUCTS hereunder but which are used for the practice of a SERVICE,

(I) Five percent (5%) of NET REVENUES so long as the PRODUCT, its manufacture, use or sale is

covered by a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHT licensed exclusively to PALOMAR in the country in question;

(II) Two and one-half percent (2-1/2%) of the NET REVENUES whenever the PRODUCT, its manufacture, use or sale is covered by a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHT licensed non-exclusively to PALOMAR in the country in question;

(III) During each of the eight (8) years next following the FIRST COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION anywhere in the world by PALOMAR, its AFFILIATES or LICENSEES, One and one quarter percent ( 1-1/4%) of the NET REVENUES of PRODUCT on which no royalty is payable under paragraph 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) above.

Paragraph 1.6(c) notwithstanding, it is understood that for purposes of calculating the above royalty, the royalty on any PRODUCT which constitutes a laser which is produced or manufactured such that it incorporates, is combined with, or is designed to incorporate or be combined with, accessories that are used for hair removal (“Modified Laser”) shall be based on the NET REVENUES for such Modified Laser, and the royalty on any PRODUCT which constitutes accessories used in modifying a laser but which is sold independently of the laser (“Modification Kits”) shall be based on the NET REVENUES for such Modification Kits.

(ii) For each PRODUCT sold by PALOMAR consisting of a laser (other than the ruby laser, the sales of which shall in any event be subject to the 5% royalty described is subparagraph 5(b)(i) above) sold for hair removal as well as other uses, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a commercially reasonable royalty to be paid to GENERAL in accordance with the formula provided for in paragraph 1.6 (c), provided, that in no event shall said royalty be less than two and a half percent (2-1/2%) of NET REVENUES received by PALOMAR, its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES.

(iii) (A) (1) For any SERVICE performed by (a) PALOMAR or its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES or (b) any other third party by virtue of any right or license granted by PALOMAR or its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, and

(2) For any commercial disposition (other than sale) of any PRODUCT by PALOMAR or its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES,

PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL a commercially reasonable percentage of the NET REVENUES received by PALOMAR or its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, the percentage to be established by the parties

at such time as PALOMAR has knowledge of the method by which NET REVENUES for said SERVICES or PRODUCTS will be calculated and paid, and in no event later than the FIRST COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION of such PRODUCT or SERVICES by said method, and said percentage shall remain in effect for so long as the SERVICE or PRODUCT is marketed in accordance with said method. In order to aid the parties in establishing said percentage, PALOMAR shall provide GENERAL with complete information relevant thereto, including projected NET REVENUES and PALOMAR’s projected net profit margins.

(B) The payments to be made to GENERAL pursuant to paragraph 5(b)(iii) for PRODUCTS and SERVICES covered by a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHT, shall be a commercially reasonable royalty rate targeted to be in the range of three to five percent (3-5%) of NET REVENUES received by PALOMAR its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES (which royalty rate the parties anticipate will fall within the range of twenty to thirty percent (20-30%) of PALOMAR’s estimated profit margin on said PRODUCTS or SERVICES).

(C) The payments to be made to GENERAL pursuant to 5(b)(iii) for PRODUCTS and SERVICES not covered by a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHT, shall be made for eight (8) years following FIRST COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION of such PRODUCT or SERVICE, and shall be a commercially reasonable rate targeted to be in the range of seventy-five hundredths of one percent to one and one quarter percent (.75%-1-1/4%) of NET REVENUES received by PALOMAR, its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, which the parties anticipate will fall within the range of five to six and one quarter percent (5-6 1/4%) of PALOMAR’s estimated profit margin on said PRODUCTS or SERVICES.

(D) Annual minimum royalties:

(1) PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL an annual minimum royalty due and payable no later than the end of the AGREEMENT YEAR during which the FDA grants 510K approval (actual or deemed), or comparable approval, of any PRODUCT or SERVICE (“First 510K”), and at the end of each AGREEMENT YEAR thereafter, provided that no such payment shall be due in the event that the amount of royalties paid to GENERAL hereunder in an AGREEMENT YEAR are equal to or greater than the annual minimum royalty due and payable for said AGREEMENT YEAR.

(2) The parties agree to establish the annual amounts of such minimum royalties due for all Agreement Years within sixty (60) days of PALOMAR’s receipt of notice of the First 510K. The parties intend that the annual minimum royalty shall be an amount established by the following

formula: Multiply one-tenth the royalty rate due hereunder for PRODUCTS and SERVICES (or, in the event that more than one royalty rate is anticipated to be due hereunder, a royalty rate which reflects a reasonable weighted averaged of the anticipated royalty rates) times PALOMAR’s projected NET REVENUES for each Agreement Year.

(3) PALOMAR shall owe GENERAL minimum royalties pursuant to this paragraph until the expiration of the last AGREEMENT YEAR in which PALOMAR holds an exclusive license to PATENT RIGHTS hereunder.

(iv) In the event that the parties fail to agree on the payments or annual minimum royalties due and payable under paragraphs 5(b)(ii) or 5(b)(iii), the parties agree to resolve this issue in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in paragraph 10.9 below.

5.2 (a) In the event that more than one royalty rate under paragraph 5.1 is applicable to a PRODUCT or SERVICE, the highest of the applicable royalties shall apply.

(b) Only one royalty under paragraph 5.1 shall be due and payable to GENERAL by PALOMAR for any PRODUCT or SERVICE regardless of the number of PATENT RIGHTS covering such PRODUCT or SERVICE.

5.3 If any license granted pursuant to Section 2 shall be or become non-exclusive and GENERAL shall license any PATENT RIGHT to another licensee for the purpose of making, using, practicing or selling PRODUCTS and/or SERVICES in the LICENSE FIELD and accept financial terms which, taken as a whole, are more favorable to such licensee than herein provided for PALOMAR, GENERAL shall give written notice thereof to PALOMAR and PALOMAR shall have the option, upon PALOMAR’s written notice to GENERAL, to revise its license hereunder to such more favorable terms, effective as of the effective date of GENERAL’s license to said other licensee.

5.4 In addition to the royalties provided for above, PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL ten percent (10%) of any and all income, other than a royalty or other payment made pursuant to paragraphs 5.1, above, including, by way of example, license issue fees and milestone payments received by PALOMAR from its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES, in consideration for the sublicensing of any right or license granted to PALOMAR hereunder.

5.5 In addition to the payments provided for in paragraphs 5.1 through 5.4, PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL the following amounts upon the occurrence of the following events, one half of which payments shall be creditable against future royalties paid pursuant to paragraphs 5.1(b) hereof:


$20,000		upon FDA allowance of the first Investigational Device Exemption with respect to a PRODUCT incorporating or combined with a ruby, alexandrite and diode laser.

$35,000		upon FDA approval (actual or deemed), by the FDA of the first 510(k) or comparable application with respect to each PRODUCT incorporating or combined with a ruby, alexandrite laser and diode laser.

$75,000		upon first issuance in the United States of a PATENT RIGHT with claims that covers a PRODUCT or SERVICE.

5.6 In the event that the royalty paid to GENERAL is a significant factor in the return realized by PALOMAR so as to diminish PALOMAR’s capability to respond to competitive pressures in the market, GENERAL agrees to consider a reasonable reduction in the royalty paid to GENERAL as to each such PRODUCT and SERVICE for the period during which such market condition exists. Factors determining the size of the reduction will include profit margin on PRODUCT and SERVICES and on analogous products, prices of competitive products and services, total prior sales by PALOMAR, and PALOMAR’s expenditures in PRODUCT and SERVICE development.

5.7 The payments due under this Agreement shall, if overdue, bear interest until payment at a per annum rate equal to one percent (1%) above the prime rate in effect at the Bank of Boston on the due date, not to exceed the maximum permitted by law. The payment of such interest shall not preclude GENERAL from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

5.8 PALOMAR shall provide GENERAL at least twice each AGREEMENT YEAR with reports setting forth PALOMAR’s marketing plans (including the financial terms on which PRODUCTS and SERVICES will be made available to SUBLICENSEES and end-users) and market projections (including projected NET REVENUES) for any PRODUCT or SERVICE on which payments to GENERAL have not been determined hereunder and which PALOMAR contemplates marketing within said AGREEMENT YEAR or the following AGREEMENT YEAR.

6. REPORTS AND PAYMENTS

6.1 PALOMAR shall keep, and shall cause each of its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES, if any, to keep full and accurate books of accounts containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating all royalties payable to GENERAL. Such books of account shall be kept at their principal place of business and, with all necessary supporting data shall, during all reasonable times for the three (3) years next following the end of the calendar year to which each shall pertain be open for inspection at reasonable times and on reasonable notice by GENERAL

or its designee at GENERAL’s expense for the purpose of verifying royalty statements or compliance with this Agreement. Such inspections shall be conducted no more than twice during any twelve (12) month period.

6.2 In each year the amount of royalty due shall be calculated semiannually as of the end of each ACCOUNTING PERIOD and shall be paid semiannually within the sixty (60) days next following such date, every such payment to be supported by the accounting prescribed in paragraph 6.3 and to be made in United States currency. Whenever conversion from any foreign currency shall be required, such conversion shall be at the rate of exchange thereafter published in the Wall Street Journal for the business day closest to the end of the applicable ACCOUNTING PERIOD.

6.3 With each semiannual payment, PALOMAR shall deliver to GENERAL a full and accurate accounting to include at least the following information to the extent necessary to determine royalties:

(a)

Quantity of each PRODUCT sold or leased (by country) by PALOMAR, and its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES;

(b)

Total xxxxxxxx for each PRODUCT (by country);

(c)

Quantities of each PRODUCT used by PALOMAR and its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES;

(d)

Revenues from SERVICES paid to PALOMAR and its AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES;

(e)

Names and addresses of all SUBLICENSEES of PALOMAR; and

(f)

Total royalties payable to GENERAL.

7. INFRINGEMENT

7.1 GENERAL will protect its PATENT RIGHTS from infringement and prosecute infringers when, in its sole judgement, such action may be reasonably necessary, proper and justified.

7.2 If PALOMAR shall have supplied GENERAL with written evidence demonstrating to GENERAL’s reasonable satisfaction prima facie infringement of a claim of a PATENT RIGHT by a third party, PALOMAR may by notice request GENERAL to take steps to protect the PATENT RIGHT. GENERAL shall notify PALOMAR within sixty (60) days of the receipt of such notice whether GENERAL intends to prosecute the alleged infringement. If GENERAL notifies PALOMAR that it intends to so prosecute, GENERAL shall, within three (3) months of its notice to PALOMAR either (i) cause infringement to terminate or

(ii) initiate legal proceedings against the infringer. In the event GENERAL notifies PALOMAR that GENERAL does not intend to prosecute said infringement PALOMAR may, upon notice to GENERAL, initiate legal proceedings against the infringer at PALOMAR’s expense and in GENERAL’s name if so required by law. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit which invalidates or restricts the claims of such PATENT RIGHTS may be entered into without the consent of GENERAL, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be withheld unless GENERAL assumes responsibility for future expenses in litigation. PALOMAR shall indemnify GENERAL against any order for payment that may be made against GENERAL in such proceedings. During the period of any such proceedings initiated by PALOMAR, PALOMAR shall have the right to escrow fifty percent (50%) of the royalties which would otherwise be paid under this Agreement and to use such escrowed funds to offset fifty percent (50%) of the expenses of the proceedings. On the termination of the proceedings, and the payment of (50%) of all expenses in connection therewith, any funds remaining in the escrow will be promptly paid to GENERAL.

7.3 In the event one party shall initiate or carry on legal proceedings to enforce any PATENT RIGHT against any alleged infringer, the other party shall fully cooperate with and supply all assistance reasonably requested by the party initiating or carrying on such proceedings. The party which institutes any suit to protect or enforce a PATENT RIGHT shall have sole control of that suit and shall bear the reasonable expenses (excluding legal fees) incurred by said other party in providing such assistance and cooperation as is requested pursuant to this paragraph. The party initiating or carrying on such legal proceedings shall keep the other party informed of the progress of such proceedings and said other party shall be entitled to counsel in such proceedings but at its own expense. Any award paid by third parties as the result of such proceedings (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall first be applied to reimbursement of the unreimbursed legal fees and expenses incurred by either party, including reimbursement to GENERAL or any escrowed royalties not otherwise refunded, and then the remainder shall be divided between the parties as follows:

(a)

(i) If the amount is based on lost profits, PALOMAR shall receive an amount equal to the damages the court determines PALOMAR has suffered as a result of the infringement less the amount of any royalties that would have been due GENERAL on sales of PRODUCT lost by PALOMAR as a result of the infringement had PALOMAR made such sales; and

(ii) GENERAL shall receive an amount equal to the royalties it would have received if such sales had been made by PALOMAR; or

(b)

As to awards other than those based on lost profits, sixty (60) percent to the party initiating such proceedings and forty (40) percent to the other party, provided that in the event that GENERAL has paid for further litigation subsequent to GENERAL’s refusal to agree to a settlement, consent judgement or voluntary final disposition of a suit pursuant to paragraph 7.2, such awards shall be divided equally between the parties.

7.4 For the purpose of the proceedings referred to in this Article 7, the GENERAL and PALOMAR shall permit the use of their names and shall execute such documents and carry out such other acts as may be necessary. The party initiating or carrying on such legal proceedings shall keep the other party informed of the progress of such proceedings and said other party shall be entitled to counsel in such proceedings but at its own expense, said expenses to be off-set against any damages received by the party bringing suit in accordance with the foregoing paragraph 7.3.

8. INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 (a) PALOMAR shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless GENERAL and its trustees, officers, medical and professional staff, employees, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnitees or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments arising out of any theory of product liability (including, but not limited to, actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability) concerning any product, process or service made, used or sold pursuant to any right or license granted under this Agreement.

(b) Licensees’ indemnification under (a) above shall not apply to any liability, damage, loss or expense to the extent that it is directly attributable to the negligent activities, reckless misconduct or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitees.

(c) PALOMAR agrees, at its own expense to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to the GENERAL to defend against any actions brought or filed against any party indemnified hereunder with respect to the subject of indemnity contained herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought.

(d) This paragraph 8.1 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8.2 (a) At such time as any product, process or service relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by PALOMAR or by a licensee,

AFFILIATE or agent of PALOMAR, PALOMAR shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts not less than $2,000,000 per incident and $2,000,000 annual aggregate and naming the Indemnitees as additional insureds. Such comprehensive general liability insurance shall provide (i) product liability coverage and (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for PALOMAR’s indemnification under paragraph 8.1 of this Agreement. If PALOMAR elects to self-insure all or part of the limits described above (including deductibles or retentions which are in excess of $250,000 annual aggregate) such self-insurance program must be acceptable to the GENERAL and the Risk Management Foundation. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under this paragraph 8.2 shall not be construed to create a limit of PALOMAR’s liability with respect to its indemnification under paragraph 8.1 of this Agreement.

(b) PALOMAR shall provide GENERAL with written evidence of such insurance upon request of GENERAL. PALOMAR shall provide GENERAL with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance; if PALOMAR does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, GENERAL shall have the right to suspend this Agreement effective at the end of such fifteen (15) day period without notice or any additional waiting periods until such coverage is obtained. If such coverage is not obtained within forty-five (45) days of the original cancellation, GENERAL shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement.

(c) PALOMAR shall maintain such comprehensive general liability insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement during (i) the period that any product, process, or service, relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by PALOMAR or by a licensee, AFFILIATE or agent of PALOMAR and (ii) a reasonable period after the period referred to in (c) (i) above which in no event shall be less than fifteen (15) years.

(d) This paragraph 8.2 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8.3 Each party warrants to the other that it has the right to enter into this Agreement, that this Agreement is not in conflict with any other Agreement of the party, and that the party will not do anything during the term of this Agreement, or enter into any other Agreement during the term of this Agreement which is inconsistent herewith. GENERAL further warrants that it is the owner of the PATENT RIGHTS, that except for certain non-exclusive license rights in the U.S. Government, no other party has any rights or interest in the PATENT RIGHTS. While GENERAL makes no

warranty as to the efficacy of this technology for hair removal, PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR does represent that he has completely and accurately disclosed to PALOMAR all information in his possession as of the date of this Agreement concerning the efficacy and safety of the PRODUCT and SERVICES, to the extent the PRODUCT and SERVICES are known to him, and PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR agrees that he will continue to disclose any information which he learns of in these areas to PALOMAR for so long as PALOMAR is funding his research in the field of lasers for hair removal at GENERAL.

8.4 OTHER THAN WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN, GENERAL MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, SOFTWARE, TRADE SECRET, TANGIBLE RESEARCH PROPERTY, INFORMATION OR DATA LICENSED OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO PALOMAR HEREUNDER AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE SAME.

9. TERMINATION

9.1 Unless otherwise terminated as provided for in this Agreement, the license to PATENT RIGHT granted hereunder will continue until the last to expire of any PATENT RIGHT, the claims of which but for this Agreement would be infringed by the manufacture, use, practice or sale of any PRODUCT or SERVICE.

9.2 GENERAL shall have the right to terminate any license under U.S. PATENT RIGHTS granted under this Agreement in the event that, after the FIRST COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION in the United States there is a continuous two (2) year period in which no NET REVENUES are generated in the United States. With respect to PATENT RIGHTS in any other country, GENERAL shall have the right to convert, on a country by country basis, any exclusive license under PATENT RIGHTS granted under this Agreement to a non-exclusive license upon written notice in the event that, after the FIRST COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION in a country there is a continuous two (2) year period in any country in which no NET REVENUES are generated in said country. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GENERAL shall not have the right to terminate a license in the United States or convert an exclusive license to a non-exclusive license in any other country, in the event that the generation of NET REVENUES is prevented by force majeure, government regulation or intervention, or institution of a law suit by any third party.

9.3 If either party shall fail to faithfully perform any of its obligations under this Agreement except the due diligence milestones specified in Section 3 herein, the nondefaulting party may give written notice of the default to the defaulting party. Unless such default is corrected within thirty (30) days after such notice, the notifying party may terminate this Agreement and the license hereunder upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, provided that only one such thirty (30) day grace period shall be

available in any twelve (12) month period with respect to a default of any particular payment provision hereunder. Thereafter, at the option of the non-defaulting party, notice of default of said provision shall constitute termination.

9.4 In the event that any license granted to PALOMAR under this Agreement is terminated, any sublicense under such license granted prior to termination of said license shall remain in full force and effect, provided that:

(i) the SUBLICENSEE is not then in breach of its sublicense agreement;

(ii) the SUBLICENSEE agrees to be bound to GENERAL as the licensor under the terms and conditions of this sublicense agreement, as modified by the provisions of this paragraph 9.4;

(iii) the SUBLICENSEE, at GENERAL’s written request, assumes in a signed writing the same obligations to GENERAL as those assumed by PALOMAR under Articles 8 and 10 hereof;

(iv) GENERAL shall have the right to receive any payments payable to PALOMAR under such sublicense agreement to the extent they are reasonably and equitably attributable to such SUBLICENSEE’s right under such sublicense to use and exploit PATENT RIGHTS and/or TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION;

(v) any exclusive SUBLICENSEE agrees to be bound by the due diligence obligations of PALOMAR pursuant to paragraph 3.1 hereof (whether set by the parties or by arbitration) in the field and territory of the sublicense;

(vi) GENERAL has the right to terminate such sublicense upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to PALOMAR and such SUBLICENSEE in the event of any material breach of the obligation to make the payments described in clause (iv) of this paragraph 9.3, unless such breach is cured prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, and shall further have the right to terminate such sublicense in the event of SUBLICENSEE’s failure to meet its due diligence obligations pursuant to clause (v) hereof;

(vii) GENERAL shall not assume, and shall not be responsible to such SUBLICENSEE for, any representations, warranties or obligations of PALOMAR to such SUBLICENSEE, other than to permit such SUBLICENSEE to exercise any rights to PATENT RIGHTS and TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION that are granted under such sublicense agreement consistent with the terms of this AGREEMENT.

9.5 Upon termination of any license granted hereunder, PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL all royalties due or accrued on the NET REVENUES up to and including the date of termination. In the event of any termination, PALOMAR shall also have the right to fill all

existing order for PRODUCTS, provided the royalties set forth herein are paid on such orders. Further, in the event of any termination as a result either of a default by GENERAL or as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency, or other termination of doing business by GENERAL, PALOMAR shall have the option of maintaining the licenses granted herein in effect provided it continues to pay royalties on NET REVENUES.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 This Agreement, including the Exhibits thereto, constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, whether oral or written, are merged herein.

CLINICAL TRIAL AGREEMENT

Agreement made this 18th day of August, 1995 (“Effective Date”) between The General Hospital Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital, having a principal place of business at Fruit Street, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 (“General”), R. Rox Xxxxxxxx, M.D. (“Principal Investigator”), Xxxxxxx Laboratories of Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 (“Principal Investigator”) and Palomar Medical Technologies, a Delaware corporation having an office at 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“Palomar”).

Whereas, Xx. Xxxxxxxx has conducted clinical research on, and General has filed a patent application relating to, the use of lasers for the removal of hair (the “Field”) for which an exclusive license to Palomar has been executed as of the Effective Date hereof (the “License Agreement”);

Whereas, all of the parties to this Agreement share a common mission of improving the public health by engaging in research for the purpose of discovering and making available to the public new and improved medical drugs and devices.

Whereas, in connection with this mission, Palomar desires to use the data already generated by Xx. Xxxxxxxx and to have further clinical research conducted on its device described below and General and Xx. Xxxxxxxx, having particular expertise and opportunity, desire to provide this research.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows.

SECTION 1: STUDY PERFORMANCE

1.1 PROTOCOL Subject to approval by General’s Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) Principal Investigator agrees to conduct a clinical study of a ruby laser device furnished by Palomar (hereinafter referred to as the “Study Device, and together with any other devices provided by Palomar in accordance with paragraph 1.4, as the “Study Device(s)”) in accordance with the study protocol attached hereto as Schedule A and including any changes to such protocol as may be required by General’s IRB (which protocol and any other protocol added hereto in accordance with paragraph 1.4 are hereinafter referred individually to as the “Study” and collectively as the “Studies.”). In the event of any conflict between Schedule A and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

1.2 STUDY REVIEW Principal Investigator shall conduct the Studies at General with the prior approval and ongoing review of all appropriate and necessary review authorities and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Principal Investigator shall, when applicable, provide Palomar with written evidence of review and approval of the Studies by General’s IRB prior to the initiation of the Studies and shall inform Palomar of the IRB’s continuing review promptly after such review takes place, which shall be at least once per year. All volunteers shall meet the legal age requirements of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the state in which the Study is to be conducted.

1.3 STUDY DEVICES Palomar agrees to support the Study by delivering the Study Devices, placing such Study Devices in proper operating condition for the conduct of the Study, and maintaining such Study Devices in such operating condition during the term of this Agreement, all at no charge to General. General and Principal Investigator shall have no liability for any failure to fulfill their obligations as a result of unavailability of a Study Device. Study Devices will remain Palomar’s property unless otherwise agreed. The General and Principal Investigator shall safeguard such property with the degree of care used for its own property and, in accordance with Palomar’s instructions at any time, shall return or otherwise dispose of all such property. General and Principal Investigator shall not use any Study Device for any purpose other than the Study, unless otherwise agreed.

1.4 SECOND YEAR STUDY On or before July 1, 1996, Principal Investigator shall submit to Palomar a study protocol for an additional one year clinical study pertaining to the use of a Study Device provided by Palomar for hair removal, and a budget attendant thereto, which shall not exceed Two Hundred and Thirty Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty Seven Dollars ($230,767). Palomar shall have the opportunity to review and comment on such proposal. Upon approval of Palomar and General’s IRB, said protocol shall be attached hereto and the study described therein shall be a Study hereunder subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and payments therefore shall be made as set forth in the proposal or as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. It is the intent of the parties that said Study shall commence or before September 1, 1996.

1.5 STUDIES AT OTHER SITES

a. Palomar agrees to use best efforts to sponsor Dr. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx in New York City, New York, to conduct a clinical trial of hair removal using a diode laser provided by Palomar.

b. Principal Investigator shall be consulted in the selection of other sites and investigators participating in clinical trials of hair removal using laser devices provided by Palomar.

SECTION 2: RESULTS OF THE STUDY; INVENTIONS

2.1 OWNERSHIP OF RECORDS, DATA AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Palomar shall own its case report forms and the data resulting from the Study. General shall own its medical records, research notebooks and related documentation and any intellectual property resulting from the Studies subject to paragraph 2.3 below regarding Inventions. General shall have the right to use the data for research, educational and patient care purposes as well as to comply with any federal, state or local government laws or regulations. In recognition of Palomar’s legitimate business interest in keeping unpublished research results from being made available to its commercial competitors, General and Principal Investigator agree that they shall not knowingly:

(i)

disclose the research results to third party commercial entities in a form or in sufficient detail suitable for use to obtain pre-marketing approval from the FDA prior to a publication of the Study; and

(ii)

provide the case report forms to third party commercial entities.

Notwithstanding the above, the Palomar shall not use any patient names, or identifying information, photographs, or other likenesses without first obtaining the specific written informed consent of such patient for such use, except for purposes of obtaining FDA approval.

2.2 PUBLICATION The Principal Investigator shall be free to publish the results of the Studies subject only to the provisions of Section 3 regarding Palomar’s Proprietary Information. The Principal Investigator shall furnish Palomar with a copy of any proposed publication for review and comment prior to submission for publication, at least thirty (30) days prior to submission for manuscripts and at least seven (7) days prior to submission for abstracts. At the expiration of such thirty (30) day or seven (7) day period, Principal Investigator may proceed with submission for publication provided, however, that upon notice by Palomar within said thirty (30) or seven (7) day period that Palomar reasonably believes a patent application

claiming an Invention (as defined in paragraph 2.3) should be filed prior to such publication, such submission for publication shall be delayed until any patent application or applications have been filed by General, pursuant to paragraph 2.3.

2.3 INVENTIONS The Principal Investigator and any other General personnel performing the Study under his direction (“Investigators”) who makes an invention in the performance of the Study (“ Study Invention”) shall promptly report and assign such Study Invention to General. General shall promptly disclose in writing any Inventions to Palomar. Within sixty (60) days of Palomar receiving an enabling disclosure from General (except in the case of any disclosure received by Palomar in a proposed publication, to which Palomar shall have an obligation to respond within the time periods designated in paragraph 2.2 above), Palomar shall notify General in writing if it wishes General to file a patent application claiming the Study Invention at Palomar’s expense. Any such application shall be added as a Patent Right under the License Agreement and to the extent General has ownership rights in the Study Invention by virtue of an assignment by an Investigator hereunder, such Patent Right shall be treated in accordance with the terms of such License Agreement. In the absence of such notice, General shall be free to license such patent application to any third party on any terms.

2.4 FURTHER RESEARCH

(a) Investigators shall be free at any time to seek and accept funding for any research in the Field, from any state or federal agency, private or public foundation except foundations owned or operated by a commercial entity other than Palomar (“Non-Profit Sponsored Study”). In the event that during the term of this Agreement an Investigator makes an invention in the Field and in the performance of any Non-Profit Funded Study, General agrees to give Palomar prompt notice of said invention and to give Palomar an opportunity to negotiate an exclusive license under General’s rights in said invention assigned to General by an Investigator, it being understood that General shall have no obligation to enter into such a license with Palomar.

(b) In the event that an Investigator during the term of this Agreement or for six (6) months thereafter wishes to seek funding from any for profit entity for additional research in the Field (it being understood that for funding sought during the term of this Agreement or any extension hereof such additional research will be research other than that which is described in the study protocols appended hereto as Schedule A), said Investigator shall do so in accordance with this paragraph. The

Investigator shall submit to Palomar a description of such additional research and a budget of the costs to be funded by Palomar and a schedule of payment of such costs. Unless the parties shall otherwise agree in writing, negotiations between them over any such proposal shall not extend beyond the sixtieth (60) day next following the date when the proposal shall have first been so made.

(c) Whenever such negotiations shall end without agreement between the parties to proceed with the proposed research, the party proposing the additional research may go ahead without the other party and seek funding from any other sponsor including but not limited to a commercial sponsor for such proposal, so long as the subject matter of the proposal is not so closely related scientifically to the Study that sponsorship of such proposal by such other commercial sponsor (i) would in the opinion of General’s Trustee’s Committee on Technology Affairs after consultation with Palomar create a conflict of interest for General or any Investigator performing the Study or (ii) would conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is understood that, in the event that General proceeds to seek support from such other commercial sponsor, for a period of one year after first offering said proposal to Palomar, General shall not enter into an agreement with a third party to fund such proposal upon more favorable financial terms than those offered to Palomar without first offering Palomar the more favorable terms.

(d) When such proposal is accepted by the General and Palomar, it shall be appended hereto as an additional study protocol and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless otherwise specified, and the Study described therein shall commence and budgeted amounts shall be paid as set forth in the proposal. In the event that the parties reach agreement under this paragraph 2.4 (d) on a proposal for a non-clinical study, the parties will execute a separate agreement pertaining to said study, it being the intent of the parties that the terms and conditions of said non-clinical study be substantially the same as those of this agreement, subject to the policies of General in effect at the time with respect to non-clinical sponsored research. The budgeted amounts paid by Palomar in support of any such clinical or non-clinical study shall be credited toward the sums made available to General pursuant to paragraph 2.4(e) and 4.3.

(e) On or before both September 1, 1997 and September 1, 1998, Palomar shall make grants to General as described in paragraph 4.3 for research of mutual interest to General and Palomar and to be conducted in the Xxxxxxx Laboratories of

Photomedicine under the direction of Dr. R. Rox Xxxxxxxx, or any other investigator at General mutually agreeable to General and Palomar, it being understood that said grants may be used to support further research in the Field. Said research and the budgets attendant thereto shall be agreed upon in writing by General and Palomar prior to the commencement of said research. In the event that General and Palomar reach agreement under this paragraph on a proposal and budget for a clinical study in the Field, said study shall become a Study hereunder and subject to terms and conditions as this Agreement. In the event that General and Xxxxxxx reach agreement under this paragraph on a proposal and budget for a clinical study outside the Field, it is the intent of the parties that said study be subject to terms and conditions substantially the same as this Agreement. In the event that General and Xxxxxxx reach agreement under this paragraph on a proposal for a non-clinical study, it is the intent of the parties that the terms and conditions of said non-clinical study be substantially the same as those of this agreement, subject to the policies of General in effect at the time with respect to non-clinical sponsored research.

2.5 USE OF NAME No party to this Agreement shall use the name of any other party or of any staff member, employee or student of any other party or any adaptation, acronym or name by which any party is commonly known, in any advertising, promotional or sales literature or in any publicity without the prior written approval of the party or individual whose name is to be used. For General, such approval shall be obtained from the Director of Public Affairs and for Palomar, from the President. GENERAL agrees to respond within ten (10) business days of GENERAL’s receipt of any request for approval under this paragraph, provided that such request is delivered to the Director of Public Affairs, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 (Tel. #000-000-0000; fax #000-0000) and is prominently marked “Urgent — Please respond within ten days.” General shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any use of its name which accurately and appropriately describes parties’ participation in the Study conducted under this Clinical Trial Agreement, and which does not imply directly or indirectly any endorsement by General of any product or service. Company shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any use of its name which accurately and appropriately describes the relationship of the parties under this Agreement and the scope and nature of the parties’ participation in the Study under the Clinical Trial Agreement.

2.6 STUDY RECORDS General shall make Study records available to Palomar representatives upon request for comparison

with case report forms. General shall also make such records available upon reasonable request for review by representatives of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. General shall retain records of the Studies including either the original or a copy of all volunteer consent forms in conformance with applicable federal regulations. Palomar shall notify Principal Investigator of the date the required approval (e.g., 510K, Pre-Market Approval application (PMA)) is received for a Study Device; or if the application is not approved, Palomar shall notify Principal Investigator when all clinical investigations of the Study Devices have been discontinued and the FDA notified.

2.7 USE OF DATA GENERATED UNDER PRIOR STUDY Principal Investigator shall provide to Palomar the data generated in the prior clinical trial referenced in the introduction to this Agreement (“Prior Data”) and Palomar shall pay General for such data in accordance with paragraph 4.2 as reimbursement to General for its expenses in generating such data. General grants to Palomar the right to use the Prior Data for submission to the FDA for approval of the use of a laser device for hair removal, provided that Palomar shall not use any patient names, or identifying information, photographs, or other likenesses without first obtaining the specific written informed consent of such patient for such use.

SECTION 6: INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

6.1 INDEMNIFICATION (a) Palomar shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless General and its trustees, officers,

medical and professional staff, employees, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnitees or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgements arising out of any theory of product liability (including, but not limited to, actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability) concerning a Study Device or any modification thereof including any side effect or adverse reaction, illness or injury attributable to a Study Device and occurring to any person involved in such Study, provided Palomar shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitees under this paragraph to the extent that such claim, suit, action, demand or judgement is attributable to any modification to a Study Device that is physically made by an Indemnitee without the permission of Palomar. General agrees to notify Palomar promptly of any such claim, suit, action, demand or judgement and General and Principal Investigator agree to reasonably cooperate with Palomar in the handling thereof.

(b) Palomar’s indemnification under (a) above shall not apply to any liability, damage, loss or expense to the extent that it is attributable to the: (i) negligent activities, reckless misconduct or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitees; or (ii) failure of the Indemnitees to adhere to the terms of the protocol for a Study.

(c) Palomar agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to the General to defend against any actions brought or filed against any party indemnified hereunder with respect to the subject of indemnity contained herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought.

(d) Company also agrees to reimburse General for the costs of the care and treatment of any illness or injury to a subject resulting from his or her participation in a Study arising under any theory of product liability pertaining to a Study Device to the extent that such costs are not covered by the subject’s medical or hospital insurance or governmental programs providing such coverage provided, however, that Company’s obligation under this paragraph 6.1(d) shall not apply to any such illness or injury to the extent that it is attributable to the negligence, reckless misconduct or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitees or the failure of the Indemnitees to adhere to the terms of the protocol for a Study.

6.2 INSURANCE (a) At such time as a Study Device or any modification thereof is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by Palomar or by a licensee, affiliate or agent of Palomar, Palomar shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than $2,000,000 per incident and $2,000,000 annual aggregate and naming the Indemnitees as additional insureds. Such commercial general liability insurance shall provide (i) product liability coverage and (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for Palomar’s indemnification under paragraph 6.1 of this Agreement. If Palomar elects to self-insure all or part of the limits described above (including deductibles or retentions which are in excess of $250,000 annual aggregate) such self-insurance program must be acceptable to the General and the Risk Management Foundation of the Harvard Medical Institutions, Inc. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under this paragraph 6.2 shall not be construed to create a limit of Palomar’s liability with respect to its indemnification under paragraph 6.1 of this Agreement.

(b) Palomar shall provide General with written evidence of such insurance upon request of General. Palomar shall provide General with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance.

(c) Palomar shall maintain such commercial general liability insurance during (i) the period that the Study Drug or any modification thereof is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by Palomar or by a licensee, affiliate or agent of Palomar and (ii) a reasonable period after the period referred to in (c)(i) above which in no event shall be less than fifteen (15) years.

Evaluation of a Pulsed Laser System for Selective

Destruction of Hair Follicles

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND:

Unwanted excess growth of tem-dnal (coarse) hair due to endocrine disorders, tumors, drugs, or heredity is a significant cosmetic problem. In the extreme of hirsutism, abnormal hair growth is disfiguring. Removal of hair from skin grafts is a problem also. However, the vast majority of people who dislike excess hair do not have a medical or iatrogenic problem. Removal of hair is easily done temporarily by shaving or by epilation with wax or various devices. Permanent hair removal is traditionally done with electrolysis in which a negative electrode is inserted into each follicle individually. Electrolysis is painful, tedious, expensive, and often ineffective. The average number of treatments per follicle is about 6. An altemative, more effective, safe, less tedious method is needed. Selective photothermolysis using laser pulses may offer this method.

In a previous study (MGH accession # 937286) we showed that normal-mode ruby laser PULSES ARE effective and well tolerated for producing selective destruction of hair follicles in normal adult caucasians with xxxxx or black hair. Based on the principles of selective photothermolysis, and confirmed in an in-vitro study prior to human studies, we chose a wavelength and pulse duration which “targets” melanin in the hair follicles. Because melanin is also present in the epidermis, a handpiece for laser light delivery was devised which tends to spare the epidermis, while maximizing light intensity deep in the dermis where the follicles are. MGH filed a patent on this device, which will be licensed under an agreement with Palomar, Inc, who will be supporting this human study.

In the first human study, 200 gs, 694nm ruby laser pulses were delivered to shaved vs. EPILATED sites on the back or extremities, in a range of fluences. The exposures were moderately painful but typically tolerated without local anesthesia (which itself is painful). No significant adverse events occured (e.g. ulceration, scarring, depigmentation). In all subjects, there was a fluence-dependent growth delay of approximately 6 months for regrowing hairs in the exposure SITES. At the highest fluence, 6 months after exposure there was an average of about 30% permanent hair loss. There was no significant difference between epilated and shaved sites, suggesting that the hair shaft itself is not important for light absorption. Hypopigmentation was NOTED in most subjects, and was transient.

THE STUDY PROPOSED HERE:

•

Uses a longer pulse duration, to better match follicle thermal relaxation times.

•

Examines response to more than one treatment, given 4 weeks apart.

•

Tests the hypothesis that hair growth cycle (anagen, telogen, catagen phase) affects response.

•

Provides treatment of a hair-bearing area of concern to the subject, based on response in each subject’s test sites.

SUBJECTS:

EXCLUSIONS:

Fifty (50) adults with xxxxx or black hair present on the back or legs.

Keloid history, pregnant, history of radiation treatment or surgery to test or treatment sites, active infections, hypersensitivity to retin-A, hydroquinone, or mupincin.

LASER AND DELIVERY DEVICE:

A normal-mode ruby laser (Spectrum, Inc.) emitting up to 30 J pulses at 1-5 ms pulse duration,~Arill be used. Pulses are delivered through an optical handpiece which provides refractive index matching, cooling to -10*C, a convergent entrance beam at the skin surface, and compression of the skin.

The optical manipulations maxirnize delivery of light deep into the xxxx-iis; cooling raises the tolerated fluence, provides partial anesthesia, and spares the epidermis by conduction during LASER PULSE DELIVERY; compression decreases the distance to the deep follicular papillae and drives blood away, eliminating a competing chromophore. We have established that under these conditions, the primary site of photothermal injury is the pigmented hair follicles, all the way down to their deep papillae.

PROTOCOL:

MAPPING AND DETERMINATION OF HAIR GROWTH CYCLES.

One month prior to laser exposures, ten test areas of 5x5 cm, each containing about 100200 follicles, will be mapped on the thighs or back. The sites will be clipped, using a xxxxxx’x clipper such that the hairs are all 3 mm long. Digtal images with a CCD camera and COMPUTER FRAME-CAPTURE BOARD WILL THEN BE taken at a normal angle of incidence, to record the position and length of each hair in each test area. The same sites will be imaged again prior to laser exposure. Anagen hairs will be identified as those with active growth (much greater than 3 nun length) between the two sets of images. The images will also provide a permanent record of follicle density, hair shaft density, and individual follicle locations.

PRE-TREATMENT WITH RETIN-A, HYDROQUINONE:

For one month prior to laser exposures, a standard regimen of 0. 1% retin-A cream and 4% hydroquinone cream will be applied daily by each subject to the test sites. Retin-A causes increased epidermal turnover and as a pre-treatment improves wound healing. Hydroquinone decreases epidermal pigmentation without influencing follicular pigmentation. Subjects will also be instructed to avoid sun exposure to the test areas before and during this study. Retin-A can be irritating with prolonged use, and will be discontinued in any subject experiencing irritation at the application sites.

LASER EXPOSURES AND FLUENCES:

Subjects and investigators will wear laser protective eyewear. Eight sites will be shaved before laser exposures, two sites will be wax-epilated, and all will be cleaned with isopropanol. Laser exposures will be administered in contiguous exposure spots covering each of the test areas, at a maximim of 1 Hz, according to the table below. Three fluences will be tested in each subject, beginning with 25, 50, and 75 j/CM2 as shown in the table below. Fluence may be increased to 50, 75 and 100 j/CM2 ‘based on evaluation of response in the first three subjects. Specifically, the fluence range will be increased if there is no erosion, ulceration, scarring, or depigmentation at the one-month followup visit. Based on the same criteria, fluence may be increased again to 75, 100, and 125 j/CM2 following evaluation of the second set of three subjects.

Local anesthesia will be offered, using 2% xylocaine with epinephrine, given by intradermal injections around each site. In our experience anesthesia will not be routinely needed, but will always be offered for the subjects’ comfort.

Subjects will return 1 month after the first set of laser exposures for evaluation and a second set of exposures. Each skin site will be photographed and digitally imaged using the CCD camera system. Responses will also be scored visually for changes in pigmentation, inflammation, hair reqrowth, and textural changes, using an arbitrary scale shown in a table below. After evaluations are recorded, a second series of exposures will be performed in those test sites to be treated twice (see table).

SINGLE-TREATMENT:

A treatment may be performed in a site up to 100 cm2 with excess hair growth of concem to the subject, using the maximum tolerated fluence according to test site results. We do not expect to see scarring, ulcreation, or depigmentation. However, if any of these unwarranted effects do occur, the treatment fluence will be less than that causing these responses. Skin preparation, anaesthesia, exposure techniques, and post-exposure care will be identical to that of the test sites.

POST-EXPOSURE SKIN CARE:

After the laser exposures, mupircin ointment (Bactroban) will be applied and a sterile dressing applied. Subjects will be instructed to gently cleanse the sites with warrn water and mild soap (e.g. Dove), and to re-apply mupiricin ointment twice a day until any weeping or crusting has subsided. Subjects will also be asked to avoid sun exposure, which can cause hyperpigmentation.

DATA ANALYSIS:

Hair follicle counts, growth cycle and shaft diameter will be determined from digital imaging prior to laser exposure. The site subject to wax epilation serves primarily as a control for the presence of hair shafts at the time of exposure, but will also produce a direct measure of hair follicle depth, by measuring the depth from skin surface, to the papillae of the epilated hairs. Responses graded subjectively and objectively (digital imaging) will be correlated against laser fluence and number of treatments. Computer mapping of regrowing hair against the baseline hair follicle images will be used to determine the relative sensitivity of amagen vs. telogen/catagen follicles. Data at I month, 3 months, and 6 months will be compared to establish growth delay patterns and the fraction of regrowing hairs, as a function of exposure conditions. Changes in hair shaft diameter for those hairs which regrow will also be compared against baseline values.

RISKS:

The goal of this study is to selectively and permanently destroy hair follicles. Alopecia (baldness) may result in the test areas and in the treatment area. As with any form of tissue destruction, there is a risk of infection and/or scarring, which is minin-dzed by proper wound care. In a previous human study of this hair removal technique, there was no scarring seen in approximately 100 test sites. Therefore, the risk of scarring appears to be low. Laser exposures can also cause temporary or permanent changes in skin pigmentation (skin color). A transient decrease in skin pigmentation occurred in all of those treated previously, lasting about 3 months. This is more noticable in darker skin. Permanent lightening or darkening of skin color is a possibility, which HAS NOT been observed. The laser removes freckles and common xxxxx “moles” permanently. In people with extensive freckling, this can cause a color change. New freckles will eventually form in laser-treated skin, but may take years to do so.

BENEFITS:

The subjects may or may not benefit from removal of unwanted hair in the test and/or treatment sites. There is no guarantee of success.

REMUNERATION:

Subjects will be paid $500 for participation, to defray travel and other costs.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

FOR HAIR REMOVAL STUDY

Healthy adult volunteers are sought for a medical study at the Massachusetts General Hospital, aimed at permanent hair removal. A laser will be tested in hair-bearing skin areas on the back or upper legs. One month later, an area with unwanted hair may also be treated, depending on the test results. Six visits will be required over nine months, and volunteers must be able to accommodate this schedule. Subjects will be paid $500 for participation in the study. There is no guarantee that permanent hair removal will be achieved.

4. In the event that PALOMAR discloses to any GENERAL personnel any information which relates to the Project that PALOMAR considers confidential, the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to such information shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in Appendix C.

5. The Principal Investigator shall have the right to present or publish the results of the research done at GENERAL and shall provide an early draft of any such presentation or manuscript or abstract for review by PALOMAR prior to its first presentation or submission for publication, at least thirty (30) days in advance in the case of a presentation or manuscript, and at least seven (7) days in advance in the case of an abstract. At the end of such thirty or seven days, as the case may be, the Principal Investigator shall have the right, in his/her discretion, to make such presentation or to submit such manuscript for publication, provided, however, that upon notice by PALOMAR within said thirty or seven day period that PALOMAR reasonably believes a patent application claiming an Invention (as defined in paragraph) should be filed prior to such publication, such submission for publication shall be delayed until any patent application or applications have been filed by GENERAL, pursuant to paragraph 6.

6. The Principal Investigator and any other Investigator who shall conceive and reduce to practice an invention, solely or jointly, in the performance of Project (hereinafter referred to as “Invention”) shall promptly report such Invention to GENERAL and shall assign all of his or her rights, title and interest in the Invention to GENERAL. GENERAL shall promptly advise PALOMAR in writing of each Invention disclosed to GENERAL and shall discuss with PALOMAR whether a patent application or applications (Hereinafter referred to, together with any patents issued thereon, as “Patent Rights”) pertaining to such Invention should be filed and in which countries. In the event of joint inventorship between PALOMAR personnel and GENERAL Investigators, PALOMAR personnel shall assign all of their rights, title and interest in the Invention to PALOMAR, and GENERAL Investigators shall assign all of their rights, title and interest in the Invention to GENERAL, and the Invention will be deemed to be jointly owned. If both parties mutually agree that Patent Rights should be filed, applications assigned solely to GENERAL shall be filed by GENERAL, and applications owned jointly by GENERAL and PALOMAR shall be filed as mutually agreed upon by the parties. In the event PALOMAR is not interested in having Patent Rights filed with respect to a particular Invention, PALOMAR shall advise GENERAL of such fact within ninety (90) days from the date on which the Invention was

disclosed to PALOMAR by GENERAL and GENERAL shall be free to file and prosecute Patent Rights on such Invention at its own expense and to license such Patent Rights to any other party.

All information given to PALOMAR by GENERAL in accordance with this paragraph 6 will be held in confidence by PALOMAR so long as such information remains unpublished or publicly undisclosed by GENERAL.

All patent costs pertaining to any Patent Rights filed by mutual agreement of PALOMAR and GENERAL, including preparation, filing, prosecution, issuance and maintenance costs, shall be borne by PALOMAR as follows. For any Patent Right, the scope of which is no broader than the EPILATION LICENSE FIELD defined below, PALOMAR shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of patent costs, and for any Patent Right, the scope of which is broader than the EPILATION LICENSE FIELD or which contains embodiments outside the EPILATION LICENSE FIELD, PALOMAR shall bear patent costs as provided in paragraph 4.4 of the AMENDED LICENSE AGREEMENT.

As to any Patent Rights assigned in whole or in part to GENERAL and filed by mutual agreement of the parties, to the extent not prohibited by the United States Government or prevented by the obligations of GENERAL to any other sponsor of research at GENERAL, PALOMAR shall have for the twelve (12) months next following the filing of such Patent Rights in the United States Patent and Trademark Office the option to obtain a world-wide, royalty bearing, exclusive license under GENERAL’s rights therein with the right to sublicense, in the field of hair reduction and/or removal using chromophores which, when excited by laser pulses, destroy hair follicles by mechanisms other than photochemical mechanisms (the “EPILATION LICENSE FIELD”). In the event that GENERAL is prohibited or prevented as aforesaid from granting an exclusive license within the EPILATION LICENSE FIELD to any Patent Right hereunder, GENERAL will grant to PALOMAR the most exclusive license within the EPILATION LICENSE FIELD that it is able to grant to PALOMAR. It is understood that GENERAL will reserve the right to use any Invention for research, clinical and educational purposes, and that if federal funding supports the Invention, PALOMAR’s license will be subject to the royalty-free non-exclusive license granted to the U.S. government by statute (35 USC sec.202(c)(4)).

This option is to be exercised by written notice to GENERAL during said twelve month period and the negotiation, during the six (6) months next following such notice, of an amendment to the AMENDED LICENSE AGREEMENT granting PALOMAR a license to Patent Rights under the terms thereof, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. In the absence of such notice by COMPANY and agreement on license terms, GENERAL may grant a license to such Patent Rights to any other party.

7. GENERAL and PALOMAR shall each be responsible and shall hold the other harmless for any injury to persons or damage to property to the extent that such injury or damage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of their employees or staff in carrying out the Project; provided, however, PALOMAR will defend, indemnify and hold harmless GENERAL

and its trustees, employees and staff against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands or prosecutions that may be brought or instituted against GENERAL and/or its trustees, employees and staff based on or arising out of the manufacture, use, sale or other distribution of any product by PALOMAR, its affiliates or licensees excepting any such action, suit, claim, demand or prosecution which is based solely on the negligence or willful misconduct of GENERAL and/or its trustees, employees or staff in the use of such product.

8. Each party agrees that it will not use the name or logo of the other party or of any employee or staff member of the other party in any advertising, promotional material or publicity without the prior written approval of the party or person whose name or logo is to be used.

9. If either party shall fail to faithfully perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting party may give written notice of the default to the defaulting party. Unless such default is corrected within thirty (30) days after such notice, the notifying party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice.

10. The obligations of the parties under Paragraphs 5,6,7 and 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, regardless of the choice of law rules of any jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, GENERAL and PALOMAR have caused this instrument to be executed.

(d) When the Proprietary Information is no longer required for the purposes of this Research Agreement, each RECIPIENT shall return or dispose of any tangible records of it as directed by PALOMAR.

(e) It is agreed by PALOMAR and GENERAL that the transfer of Proprietary Information shall not be construed as a grant of any right or license with respect to the information delivered except as set forth herein or in a duly executed research or license agreement.

3. INFORMATION NOT COVERED It is agreed by PALOMAR and GENERAL that information shall not be deemed Proprietary Information in the event:

(a) it is publicly available prior to the date of the Agreement or becomes publicly available thereafter through no wrongful act of GENERAL;

(b) it was known to GENERAL prior to the date of disclosure or becomes known to GENERAL thereafter from a third party having no obligation to PALOMAR to keep such information confidential;

(d) it is disclosed by PALOMAR without restriction on further disclosure;

(e) it is independently developed by GENERAL; or

(f) GENERAL is obligated to produce it pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a valid administrative or Congressional subpoena, provided that GENERAL (i) promptly notifies PALOMAR and (ii) cooperates reasonably with PALOMAR’s efforts to contest or limit the scope of such order.

If as a result of the review of any such document, PALOMAR shall elect not to pay or continue to pay the Costs for such ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS, PALOMAR shall so notify GENERAL within thirty (30) days of PALOMAR’s receipt of such document and PALOMAR shall thereafter be relieved of the obligation to pay any additional Costs regarding such ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS incurred after the receipt of such notice by GENERAL. Such U.S. or foreign patent application or patent shall thereupon cease to be a ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHT hereunder and GENERAL shall be free to license its rights to that particular U.S. or foreign patent application or patent to any other party on any terms. GENERAL shall also have the right to provide comments and recommendations on any action proposed to be taken by PALOMAR and PALOMAR agrees to take into account GENERAL’s recommendations. Where a course of action is followed on a ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHT which is both contrary to PALOMAR’s recommendations and which increases costs over such recommendation, PALOMAR shall only be responsible for costs which would have been incurred had its recommendation been followed.

Paragraph 5. ROYALTIES; LICENSE FEES

In Paragraph 5.1(b), add the following new subparagraphs:

(viii) For PRODUCT sold by a PALOMAR SUBLICENSEE covered by a VALID CLAIM of any ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS but not covered by a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHTS, GENERAL shall receive *** percent (***%) of the sublicensing revenues (including up-front fees and milestone payments) received by PALOMAR from such SUBLICENSEE; provided however, that in no case shall GENERAL receive less than *** percent (***%) of the NET REVENUES for PRODUCTs sold by SUBLICENSEEs (so long as the PRODUCT, its manufacture, use or sale is covered by a VALID CLAIM of any ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS in the country in question). PALOMAR and GENERAL agree that for each PALOMAR SUBLICENSEE that includes a non-monetary component, PALOMAR and GENERAL will agree to the specific allocation of the non-monetary component by separate letter agreement.

(ix) For each SLP1000 system sold by PALOMAR or its AFFILIATES, including any hand piece(s) sold therewith, *** percent (***%) of NET REVENUES, so long as the SLP1000 system and hand pieces, their manufacture use or sale is covered by a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHT or ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHT licensed exclusively to PALOMAR in the country in question.

(x) For each EsteLux base system and LuxY handpiece sold by PALOMAR or its AFFILIATES, *** percent (***%) of NET REVENUES, and for each LuxR and LuxRs handpiece sold by PALOMAR or its AFFILIATES, *** percent (***%) of NET REVENUES, *** in all cases so long as the EsteLux system and LuxY, LuxR and LuxRs hand pieces, their manufacture use or sale is covered by a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHT or ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHT licensed exclusively to Palomar in the country in question. ***

(xi) For each PRODUCT sold by or SERVICE performed by PALOMAR or its AFFILIATES that is not subject to previous provisions of this Paragraph 5.1(b) and is not covered by a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHT, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a commercially reasonable royalty rate to be paid to GENERAL by PALOMAR, so long as the PRODUCT or SERVICE, its manufacture, use or sale is covered by a VALID CLAIM of any ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHT licensed to PALOMAR in the country in question. General agrees that the following shall be considerations in setting such royalty rate: (1) the royalty rates known to be payable to licensors for products or processes of a similar nature, which are on the market or under development by competing entities; and (2) the fact that Palomar is a co-inventor. General further agrees that, for ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS, if the parties can mutually agree on a royalty that an unaffiliated third party commercial entity might pay, in an arms-length transaction, for a product covered by such ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS (a “third party commercial royalty rate”), PALOMAR’s royalty rate shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of such third party commercial royalty rate.

In Paragraph 5, add the following new subparagraph 5.1(c):

5.1 (c) Upon execution of this Fourth Amendment, PALOMAR shall pay GENERAL *** for the fully paid up non-exclusive license to the PHOTON RECYCLING PATENT RIGHTS provided in Paragraph 2.1(d) and *** as reimbursement for Costs incurred by GENERAL for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all PHOTON RECYCLING PATENT RIGHTS.

Paragraph 7. INFRINGEMENT:

In Paragraph 7.1, add “and ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS” after “PATENT RIGHT” and throughout the remainder of Paragraph 7 add “or ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS” after each instance of “PATENT RIGHT”.

Paragraph 8. INDEMNIFICATION:

In Paragraph 8.3, add the following sentences after the second sentence:

“GENERAL further warrants that it is the joint owner with PALOMAR of the ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS, that except for PALOMAR’s rights as a joint inventor, no other party has any rights or interest in the ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHTS. GENERAL also warrants that it is the sole owner of the PHOTON RECYCLING PATENT RIGHTS.”

Paragraph 9. TERMINATION and Paragraph 10. MISCELLANEOUS:

In Paragraphs 9.1, 9.2, 9.4(vii) and 10.2(a) add “and ADDITIONAL PATENT RIGHT” after each instance of “PATENT RIGHT”.

Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the License Agreement. Except as amended by the First, Second and Third Amendment, effective August 18, 1995, February 17, 1997, November 17, 1997, respectively, and this Fourth Amendment, the License Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.
