(a)    Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Development and Commercialization of Products in the Major Markets is to be carried out by DexCom and its Affiliates, and consequently DexCom shall not have the right to sublicense to Third Parties the Development and Commercialization of Products in the Major Markets [***]; provided, however, that DexCom may [***] use Third Party distributors to sell Products consistent with DexCom’s past practices with respect to the sale of its other products, and use Third Party contract research organizations for portions of the Development that DexCom uses in its ordinary course of development.

For clarity, it is understood that each Milestone Payment shall be payable only once upon the first achievement of the applicable Milestone Event.
8.2.2    Payment Terms.  The Milestone Payments set forth in this Section 8.2 shall each be due to GLS within thirty (30) days of the achievement of the corresponding Milestone Event set forth above and payable in, at DexCom’s sole election, cash or in shares of DexCom Common Stock.

As an example, if Annual Net Sales in a calendar year for [***] is $4.5 Billion, then the product fee payment owed for such calendar year shall be calculated as follows: 0% × ($750 Million) + [***]% × ($[***] - $750 Million) + [***]% × ($[***]) + [***]% × ($[***]) = $0 + $[***].
8.3.1    Acknowledgement.  The Parties acknowledge that the product fees payable under this Section 8.3 were bargained for and are an essential element of this Agreement without which the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement and is therefore not severable.
8.3.2    Change in Business Model.  The Parties acknowledge as of the Effective Date that DexCom’s and its Affiliates existing business model with respect to [***] is receiving value upon the sale of the [***] to distribution channels or end users or receiving User Fees and not from the provision of services or alternative business models; however, if such business model changes after of the Effective Date in a manner that undermines the economic split from the Commercialization of the [***] established under this Section 8.3 and Section 8.4, then upon request of either Party, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an alternative, whether mechanism, basis or otherwise, so as to reflect the intentions of the Parties in agreeing the economic split as of the Effective Date.   If DexCom Commercializes, directly or indirectly, any [***] that is combined or integrated with any product or service that is not a [***], such as an [***], (“Combination Product”), the Parties will mutually agree on the portion of the total amount invoiced with respect to the sale, license or use of such Combination Product that is Net Sales.
8.3.3    Term of Fees.  GLS’s right to receive product fees under this Section 8.3 8.3 shall commence on the earlier of (a) [***] and (b) the [***].
 
8.3.4    Third Party Royalties.   If DexCom believes that the GLS Deliverable infringes intellectual property owned or controlled by a Third Party (“Third Party IP”), DexCom will consult in good faith with GLS to reach agreement as to whether such Third Party IP covers the [***] and whether to acquire rights to such Third Party IP. Subject to the foregoing, if a Selling Party is required to pay royalties to a Third Party pursuant to a license agreement for rights to such Third Party IP, then DexCom shall have the right to offset [***] percent ([***]%) of such royalty payments actually made by DexCom to such Third Party against the product fee payments owing to GLS under Section 8.3 with respect to sales of [***] covered by such Third Party IP (“Covered Products”) for the applicable calendar quarter; provided, however, that DexCom shall not reduce the amount of product fees payable to GLS for Covered Products under Section 8.3 by reason of this Section 8.3.4, to less than [***]

percent ([***]%) of the product fees that would otherwise have been payable to GLS for Covered Products under Section 8.3 for such calendar quarter.
8.4    [***].  DexCom shall pay to GLS [***] percent ([***]%) of all [***] (at DexCom’s option either in cash or in the same form of consideration received by DexCom).
8.5    Payment/Reports.  All payments under Sections 8.3 and 8.4 shall be due and payable within forty-five (45) days of the close of the calendar quarter during which the corresponding Net Sales and/or Non-Product Fee Consideration are recognized.  Together with any such payment, DexCom shall deliver a report specifying in the aggregate and on a [***]-by-[***] and country-by-country basis for the applicable quarter: (a) (i) total gross invoiced amount from sales of [***] by DexCom, its Affiliates and Third Parties acting on their behalf or under their authority, (ii) amounts deducted by category (e.g., normal and customary trade, cash and other discounts, allowances and credits actually allowed and taken directly with respect to sales of [***]) from gross invoiced amounts to calculate Net Sales, (iii) Net Sales, and (iv) product fees payable to GLS; and (b) total Non-Product Fee Consideration received by DexCom and its Affiliates and GLS’s share thereof.
8.6    Payment Method; Stock Purchase Agreement.  All cash payments due under this Agreement to GLS shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by GLS.  All payments hereunder shall be made in the legal currency of the United States of America, and all references to “$” or “Dollars” shall refer to United States dollars.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments due to a Party hereunder shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of an invoice from the other Party.  If any withholding taxes, levies or similar taxes is due with respect to such a payment, such amounts shall be payable by DexCom to the applicable taxing authority, including any tax or withholding levied by a foreign taxing authority in respect of the payment or accrual of any product fee..  Each Party agrees to assist the other Party as reasonably requested by the other Party in claiming exemption from or otherwise reducing such deductions or withholdings under any taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force.  Prior to the first issuance of DexCom Common Stock by DexCom to GLS under this Agreement, the Parties shall enter into a mutually agreeable stock purchase agreement setting forth the terms and conditions under which DexCom shall issue such DexCom Common Stock to GLS under this Agreement, which stock purchase agreement shall contain representations and warranties of DexCom and GLS and conditions to the closing of the issuance of such shares of DexCom Common Stock, in each case, which shall be appropriate for a transaction of this nature.
8.7    Inspection of Records.  DexCom shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Third Parties acting on their behalf or under their authority to, keep full and accurate books and records setting forth (a) gross sales of [***], Net Sales of [***], itemized deductions from gross sales taken to calculate Net Sales and amounts payable hereunder to GLS for each such [***]; and (b) Non-Product Fee Consideration received by DexCom and its Affiliates and GLS’s share thereof.  DexCom shall permit GLS, by independent qualified public accountants engaged by GLS and reasonably acceptable to DexCom, to examine such books and records at any reasonable time, but not later than three (3) years following the

The records for any particular calendar quarter shall be subject to no more than one inspection.  The accountant shall be obligated to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing any such inspection.  Any inspection conducted under this Section 8.7 shall be at the expense of GLS, unless such inspection reveals any discrepancy of more than [***] past due to GLS, in which case such inspection shall be at the expense of DexCom.  Any underpayment shall be paid within fifteen (15) Business Days with interest on the underpayment at the rate specified in Section 8.8 from the date such payment was originally due; and any overpayment may be credited against future payments hereunder without interest or if there will be no future payments by DexCom, then reimbursed within fifteen (15) Business Days.  Any disputes arising under this Section 8.7 regarding any discrepancy identified by the accountant shall be subject to resolution under Article 13.
8.8    Late Payment.  Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month from the payment due date until paid in full.

9.2    Patent Prosecution.

As between the Parties, GLS shall have the right to control the Prosecution and Maintenance of the GLS Licensed Patents and Joint Collaboration Patents using counsel of its choice.  GLS agrees to: (a) keep DexCom reasonably informed with respect to such activities; and (b) consult in good faith with DexCom regarding such matters, including the abandonment of any claims thereof covering the Products in the Field.  If GLS does not want to Prosecute and Maintain any of the Joint Collaboration Patents, then GLS shall give DexCom sufficient notice (i.e. in order to avoid any adverse events such as missing a filing deadline) and DexCom shall have the right to control the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Joint Collaboration Patents.
9.2.2    DexCom Patents. As between the Parties, DexCom shall have the right to control the Prosecution and Maintenance of the DexCom Collaboration Patents using counsel of its choice.

Except as provided in Section 11.4.4, or by separate written agreement of the Parties, each Party shall have the right to defend itself against a suit that names it as a defendant (the “Defending Party”).

In any event, the other Party shall reasonably assist the Defending Party and cooperate in any such litigation at the Defending Party’s request and expense.
9.4    Enforcement.
9.4.1    Notice.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.4, in the event that either Party reasonably believes that any GLS Licensed Patent (a) is being infringed by a Third Party or (b) is or will become subject to a declaratory judgment action arising from such infringement, in each case, (a) and (b), which infringement arises from the manufacture, sale, use or import of a product in the Field in the Territory (an “Infringing Product”) such Party shall promptly notify the other Party.

DexCom agrees not to settle any Product-Specific Enforcement Action, or intentionally make any admissions or assert any position in such Product-Specific Enforcement Action, in a manner that would materially adversely affect the validity, enforceability or scope of any GLS Licensed Patent in or outside the Territory, without the prior written consent of GLS, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  In the event that DexCom or its designee fails to commence or defend a Product-Specific Enforcement Action with respect to such Infringing Products in the Territory within one hundred twenty (120) days of a request by GLS to do so (or such shorter period as is necessary to bring and maintain such action), GLS or its designee may commence a Product-Specific Enforcement Action with respect to such Infringing Products at its own expense.  In such case, GLS agrees not to settle any Product-Specific Enforcement Action, or intentionally make any admissions or assert any position in such Product-Specific Enforcement Action, in a manner that would materially adversely affect DexCom’s rights or interests in Products in the Territory, without the prior written consent of DexCom, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.4.4  Cooperation.  The Party commencing, controlling or defending any action under this Section 9.4 (such Party, the “Enforcing Party” and such action, an “Enforcement Action”) shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such Enforcement Action, and such other Party shall have the right to participate with counsel of its own choice at its own expense.

In any event, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Enforcing Party, including providing information and materials, at the Enforcing Party’s request and expense.  The Enforcing Party shall also have the right to control settlement of such Enforcement Action; provided, however, no settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the other Party, which consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if such settlement would materially and adversely affect the interests of the other Party.

14.4    Waiver.  Neither Party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing.  The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition.  No waiver by either Party of any condition or term in any one or more instances shall be construed as a continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.
14.5    Severability.

14.7    Entire Agreement/Modification.

change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by the respective authorized officers of the Parties.

Furthermore, the Parties agree that this Agreement does not, is not intended to, and shall not be construed to, establish an employment, agency or any other relationship.

14.9    Force Majeure.  Except with respect to payment of money, neither Party shall be liable to the other for failure or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement for the time and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by earthquake, riot, civil commotion, war, terrorist acts, strike, flood, or governmental acts or restriction or other cause, in each case to the extent beyond the reasonable control of the respective Party.  The Party affected by such force majeure will provide the other Party with full particulars thereof as soon as it becomes aware of the same (including its best estimate of the likely extent and duration of the interference with its activities), and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to overcome the difficulties created thereby and to resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable.  If the performance of any such obligation under this Agreement is delayed owing to such a force majeure for any continuous period of more than [***] days, the Parties will consult with respect to an equitable solution.
14.10    Compliance with Laws/Other.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all rights and obligations of GLS and DexCom are subject to prior compliance with, and each Party shall comply with, all applicable Laws, including obtaining all necessary approvals required by the applicable agencies of the governments of the United States and foreign jurisdictions.  In addition, each Party shall conduct its activities under the Collaboration in accordance with good scientific and business practices.
14.11    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
14.12    Bankruptcy Matters.  All licenses granted under this Agreement are deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties agree that each Party may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.
