2.4. No Ownership. The disclosure of and any permitted use of licensed IP Rights and Know-How will not create any title or ownership interest in or to the IP Rights and Know-How in the licensee, and the licensee shall not, at any time during or after the term of this Agreement, assert or claim any interest in or do anything which may adversely affect the validity or enforceability of any licensed IP Rights or Know-How of the licensing party.

Notwithstanding that a Party may charge a royalty to an Affiliate of that Party, the Parties agree that no royalty shall be due in respect of any sublicense by a Party to an Affiliate of that Party. In respect of a sublicense by a Party to a non-Affiliate third party, the sublicensing Party agrees to pay the licensor Party a royalty as set forth in Section 3.2.

The licensing Party shall pay for all costs of the audit, unless the audit establishes an error of fifteen percent (15%) or more of any quarterly Net Royalty Fee amount, in which case the sublicensing Party shall pay the costs of the audit.
