LICENSEE for at least five (5) years following a given reporting period.


 


(b)    All
records shall be available during normal business hours for inspection at the expense of UNIVERSITY by UNIVERSITY’s Internal
Audit Department or by a Certified Public Accountant selected by UNIVERSITY and in compliance with the other terms of this Agreement
for the sole purpose of verifying reports and payments or other compliance issues. Such inspector shall not disclose to UNIVERSITY
any information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports and payments made under this Agreement or other compliance
issues. In the event that any such inspection shows an under reporting and underpayment in excess of five percent (5%) for any
twelve-month (12-month) period, then LICENSEE shall pay the cost of the audit as well as any additional sum that would have been
payable to UNIVERSITY had the LICENSEE reported correctly, plus an interest charge at a rate of ten percent (I0%) per year. Such
interest shall be calculated from the date the correct payment was due to UNIVERSITY up to the date when such payment is actually

(i)   Royalties
shall accrue when Licensed Products are invoiced, or if not invoiced, when delivered to a third party or Affiliate.


(ii)  LICENSEE
shall pay earned royalties annually on or before February 28 of each calendar year. Each such payment shall be for earned royalties
accrued within LICENSEE’s most recently completed calendar quarter.


 


(c)    Late
Payments. In the event royalty, reimbursement and/or fee payments are not received by UNIVERSITY when due, LICENSEE shall pay to
UNIVERSITY interest charges at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year. Such interest shall be calculated from the date payment was
due until actually received by UNIVERSITY.


 


(d)    Taxes.
Taxes imposed by any governmental agency on any payments to be made to UNIVERSITY by LICENSEE hereunder shall be paid by LICENSEE
without deduction from any payment due to UNIVERSITY hereunder.


 


ARTICLE 5. PATENT MATTERS


 


5.1           Patent
Prosecution and Maintenance.


 


(a)    Provided
that LICENSEE has reimbursed UNIVERSITY for Patent Costs pursuant to Paragraph 3.2, UNIVERSITY shall diligently prosecute and maintain
the United States and, if available, foreign patents, and applications in Patent Rights using counsel of its choice. For purposes
of clarity, if LICENSEE is not current in reimbursing UNIVERSITY for such Patent Costs, UNIVERSITY shall have no obligation to
incur any new Patent Costs under this Agreement or to further prosecute Patent Rights or file any new patent applications under
Patent Rights. UNIVERSITY shall provide LICENSEE with copies of all relevant documentation relating to such prosecution and LICENSEE
shall keep this documentation confidential. The counsel shall take instructions only from UNIVERSITY, and all patents and patent
applications in Patent Rights shall be assigned solely to UNIVERSITY. UNIVERSITY shall take into consideration any actions recommended
by LICENSEE to protect the Licensed Products contemplated to be sold by LICENSEE under this Agreement. UNIVERSITY shall in any
event control all patent filings and all patent prosecution decisions and related filings (e.g., responses to office actions) shall
be at UNIVERSITY’s final discretion (prosecution includes, but is not limited to, interferences, oppositions and any other
inter partes or ex parte matters originating in a patent office).


 




     


     


    

 


(b)    Should
LICENSEE elect to terminate its reimbursement obligations with respect to any patent application or patent in Patent Rights, LICENSEE
shall have no further license with respect to such Patent Rights under this Agreement. Non-payment of any portion of Patent Costs
with respect to any application or patent may be deemed by UNIVERSITY as an election by LICENSEE to terminate its reimbursement
obligations with respect to such application or patent. UNIVERSITY is not obligated at any time to file, prosecute, or maintain
Patent Rights in a country, where, for that country’s patent application or patent LICENSEE is not paying Patent Costs, or
to file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights to which LICENSEE has terminated its license hereunder.


 


5.2           Patent
Infringement.


 


(a)          If
UCSD (based on actual knowledge of the licensing professional responsible for administering this Invention) or LICENSEE learns
of potential infringement of commercial significance of any patent licensed under this Agreement, the knowledgeable party promptly
will inform the other party of the infringement and provide evidence of infringement available to the knowledgeable party (“Infringement
Notice”). In a jurisdiction where LICENSEE has exclusive rights under this Agreement, neither UNIVERSITY nor LICENSEE will
notify a third party (including the infringer) of infringement or put such third patty on notice of the existence of any Patent
Rights without first obtaining consent of the other. UNIVERSITY and LICENSEE agree to discuss and determine how best to proceed.
If LICENSEE notifies a third patty of infringement or puts such third party on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights regarding
such infringement without first obtaining the written consent of UNIVERSITY and UNIVERSITY is sued for declaratory judgment (or
its equivalent), UNIVERSITY will have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, notwithstanding Paragraph 7.1. UNIVERSITY
and LICENSEE will use diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation. If such
infringement has not ended within ninety (90) days of the effective date of the Infringement Notice, then LICENSEE may initiate
suit; and, if such infringement has not ended within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the effective date of the Infringement
Notice, and LICENSEE has not initiated suit, then UNIVERSITY may initiate suit.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing: (1) UNIVERSITY may not be joined in any suit without its prior written consent; (2) LICENSEE may not admit liability
or wrongdoing on behalf of UNIVERSITY without its prior written consent; (3) Each party will cooperate with the other in litigation
initiated under Paragraph 5.2, but at the expense of the party who initiated the suit; (4) If UNIVERSITY is joined in any suit
under Paragraph 5.2, LICENSEE will pay all of UNIVERSITY’s costs; (5) If UNIVERSITY is a party to a suit under Paragraph
5.2, then the recovery to UNIVERSITY will be greater than or equal to fifteen percent (15%) of net recoveries; (6) Any agreement
made by LICENSEE for purposes of settling litigation or other dispute regarding Patent Rights will comply with the requirements
of Paragraph 2.2 (Sublicense); and (7) If LICENSEE or UCSD (but not both) sues a third party for infringement of Patent Rights,
then the non-suing patty may not thereafter sue such infringer for the acts of infringement raised in the suit.


 


5.3 Patent Marking.


 


LICENSEE shall mark all Licensed
Products made, used, sold, offered for sale, or imported under the terms of this Agreement, or their containers, in accordance
with the applicable patent marking laws. LICENSEE shall be responsible for all monetary and legal liabilities arising from or caused
by (a) failure to abide by applicable patent marking laws and (b) any type of incorrect or improper patent marking.


 




     


     


    

 


ARTICLE 6. EXPORT CONTROL AND REGISTRATION


 


6.1           Export
Control. LICENSEE shall observe all applicable United States and foreign laws with respect to the transfer of Licensed Products,
and related technical data to foreign countries, including, without limitation, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and
the Export Administration Regulations.


 


6.2           Governmental
Approval or Registration. If this Agreement or any associated transaction is required by the law of any nation to be either
approved or registered with any governmental agency, LICENSEE shall assume all legal obligations to do so. LICENSEE shall make
all necessary filings and pay all costs including fees, penalties, and all other out-of-pocket costs associated with such reporting
or approval process.


 


ARTICLE 7. TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION
OF THE AGREEMENT


 


7.1           Termination
by UNIVERSITY.


 


(a)    UNIVERSITY
may terminate this agreement if LICENSEE:


 


		(i)	is delinquent on any report
or payment;



		(ii)	is not diligently developing
and commercializing Licensed Product;



		(iii)	misses a milestone described
in Exhibit B;



		(iv)	is in breach of any provision;



		(v)	provides any false report;
or



		(vi)	files a claim including in
any way the assertion that any portion of UNIVERSITY’ s Patent Rights is invalid or unenforceable.



 


(b)  Termination
under this Paragraph 7.1 will take effect thirty (30) days after written notice by UNIVERSITY unless LICENSEE remedies the problem
in that thirty (30)-day period.


 


7.2           Termination
by LICENSEE.


 


(a)    LICENSEE
shall have the right at any time and for any reason to terminate this Agreement upon a ninety (90)-day written notice to UNIVERSITY.
Said notice shall state LICENSEE’s reason for terminating this Agreement.


 


(b)   Any
termination under Paragraph 7.2(a) shall not relieve LICENSEE of any obligation or liability accrued under this Agreement prior
to termination or rescind any payment made to UNIVERSITY or action by LICENSEE prior to the time termination becomes effective.
Termination shall not affect in any manner any rights of UNIVERSITY arising under this Agreement prior to termination.


 


7.3           Survival
on Termination or Expiration. The rights and obligations under Paragraphs and Articles 3.l (a) (license issue fee), 4 (Reports,
Records and Payments), 8 (Limited Warranty and Indemnification), 9 (Use of Names and Trademarks), 10.2 (Secrecy), and 10.5 (Failure
