perform within ninety (90) days written notice from the UNIVERSITY of said failure.  This right, if exercised by UNIVERSITY, supersedes the rights granted in Article 2.

	(iv)
	Sublicense Fees and royalties received during the most recently completed calendar quarter in US dollars, and the portion thereof payable to UNIVERSITY hereunder;




              (v)     the method used to calculate the royalties; and


(vi)     the exchange rates used.


If no sales of Licensed Products have been made and no Sublicensing Revenue has been received by LICENSEE during any reporting period, LICENSEE shall so report. The reports referred to in this Section 4.1(b) should be marked with the following title and case number:  “License Agreement between UCSD and Navidea Biopharmaceuticals for case SD1998-088”.  Reports shall be submitted as attachment to UCSD’s email address: tto-reports@ucsd.edu.


4.2    Records & Audits.


		
	(a)
	LICENSEE shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, 


accurate and correct records of all Licensed Products manufactured, used, and sold, and Sublicense Fees received under this Agreement.  Such records shall be retained by LICENSEE for at least five (5) years following a given reporting period.


		
	(b)
	Upon five (5) business days prior notice to LICENSEE 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 (10%) 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 made by LICENSEE.  For underpayment not in excess of five percent (5%) for any twelve-month (12-month) period, LICENSEE shall pay the difference within 

Final License Navidea_UCSD_ WWS
2014-07-11     - 15 -     






thirty (30) days without interest charge or inspection cost. UNIVERSITY may only conduct one such audit per calendar year. 


4.3   Payments.


		
	(a)
	All fees, reimbursements and royalties due to UNIVERSITY shall be paid in United States dollars and all checks shall be made payable to “The Regents of the University of California”, referencing UNIVERSITY’s taxpayer identification number, 95-6006144, and sent to UNIVERSITY according to Paragraph 10.1 (Correspondence).  When Licensed Products are sold in currencies other than United States dollars, LICENSEE shall first determine the earned royalty in the currency of the country in which Licensed Products were sold and then convert the amount into equivalent United States funds, using the exchange rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the applicable reporting period.




		
	(b)
	Royalty Payments.  




		
	(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 quarterly on or before February 28, 


May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each calendar year.  Each such payment shall be for earned royalties accrued within LICENSEE’s most recently completed calendar quarter.


		
	(iii)
	Royalties earned on sales occurring or under a Sublicense granted pursuant to this Agreement in any country outside the United States shall not be reduced by LICENSEE for any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the government of such country on the payment of royalty income, except that all payments made by LICENSEE in fulfillment of UNIVERSITY’s tax liability in any particular country may be credited against earned royalties or fees due UNIVERSITY for that country.  LICENSEE shall pay all bank charges resulting from the transfer of such royalty payments.  




		
	(iv)
	If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all 


royalties by LICENSEE with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold or a Sublicense is granted pursuant to this Agreement, LICENSEE shall convert the amount owed to UNIVERSITY into US currency and shall pay UNIVERSITY directly from its US sources of funds for as long as the legal restrictions apply.


		
	(v)
	LICENSEE shall not collect royalties from, or cause to be paid on 


Licensed Products sold to the account of the US Government or any agency thereof as provided for in the license to the US Government.  

Final License Navidea_UCSD_ WWS
2014-07-11     - 16 -     








		
	(vi)
	In the event that any patent or patent claim within Patent Rights is held


invalid in a final decision by a patent office from which no appeal or additional patent prosecution has been or can be taken, or by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to pay royalties based solely on that patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct therefrom shall cease as of the date of such final decision.  LICENSEE shall not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before the date of such final decision, that are based on another patent or claim not involved in such final decision, or that are based on the use of Technology.


		
	(vii)
	Royalty payments under Article 3, recoveries and settlements under Article 5, and royalty reports under 4.1(b) shall be rendered for any and all Licensed Products even if due after expiration of the Agreement.  




		
	(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.


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 prosecution 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 patents 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 UNIVERSITY’s counsel shall take instructions only from UNIVERSITY, and all patents and patent applications in Patent Rights shall be assigned solely to UNIVERSITY.  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 matters originating in a patent office).  


		
	(b)
	UNIVERSITY shall consider amending any patent application in Patent Rights to 



Final License Navidea_UCSD_ WWS
2014-07-11     - 17 -     






include claims reasonably requested by LICENSEE to protect the products contemplated to be sold by LICENSEE under this Agreement.


		
	(c)
	LICENSEE may elect to terminate its reimbursement obligations with respect to 


any patent application or patent in Patent Rights upon three (3) months’ written notice to UNIVERSITY.  UNIVERSITY shall use reasonable efforts to curtail further Patent Costs for such application or patent when such notice of termination is received from LICENSEE.  UNIVERSITY, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, may continue prosecution and maintenance of said application or patent, and LICENSEE shall have no further license with respect thereto.  Non-payment of any portion of Patent Costs or Anticipated 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 LICENSEE is not paying Patent Costs, or to file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights to which LICENSEE has terminated its license hereunder.


		
	(d)
	LICENSEE shall apply for an extension of the term of any patent in Patent Rights if appropriate under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 and/or European, Japanese and other foreign counterparts of this law.  LICENSEE shall prepare all documents for such application, and UNIVERSITY shall execute such documents and take any other additional action as LICENSEE reasonably requests in connection therewith.




5.2    Patent Infringement.


		
	(a)
	In the event that UNIVERSITY (to the extent of the actual knowledge of the 


licensing  professional responsible for the administration of this Agreement) or LICENSEE learns of infringement of potential commercial significance of any patent licensed under this Agreement, the knowledgeable party will provide the other (i) with written notice of such infringement and (ii) with any evidence of such infringement available to it (the “Infringement Notice”).  Subject to Sections 5.2(b) and 5.2(c), during the period in which, and in the 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 party on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights without first obtaining consent of the other.  If LICENSEE notifies a third party of infringement or puts such third party on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights with respect to such infringement without first obtaining the written consent of UNIVERSITY and UNIVERSITY is sued in declaratory judgment, UNIVERSITY shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately without the obligation to provide sixty (60) days’ notice as set forth in Paragraph 7.1.  Both UNIVERSITY and LICENSEE will use their diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation.  

Final License Navidea_UCSD_ WWS
2014-07-11     - 18 -     








		
	(b)
	If infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated within ninety (90) days following the date of the Infringement Notice, LICENSEE may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer.  UNIVERSITY may voluntarily join such suit at its own expense, but may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of LICENSEE’s suit or any judgment rendered in that suit.  LICENSEE may not join UNIVERSITY in a suit initiated by LICENSEE without UNIVERSITY’S prior written consent.  If, in a suit initiated by LICENSEE, UNIVERSITY is involuntarily joined other than by LICENSEE, LICENSEE will pay any costs incurred by UNIVERSITY arising out of such suit, including but not limited to, any legal fees of counsel that UNIVERSITY selects and retains to represent it in the suit.




		
	(c)
	If, within a hundred and twenty (120) days following the date the Infringement 


Notice takes effect, infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated and if LICENSEE has not brought suit against the infringer, UNIVERSITY may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer.  If UNIVERSITY institutes such suit, LICENSEE may not join such suit without UNIVERSITY’S consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of UNIVERSITY’S suit or any judgment rendered in that suit.


		
	(d)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the 


infringement or potential infringement pertains to an issued patent included within the Patent Rights and written notice is given under any statute expediting litigation (e.g. the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 and/or foreign counterparts of this Law) ("Act"), then the party in receipt of such notice under the Act (in the case of UNIVERSITY to the extent of the actual knowledge of the licensing officer responsible for the administration of this Agreement) shall provide the Infringement Notice to the other party promptly. If the time period is such that the LICENSEE will lose the right to pursue legal remedy for infringement by not notifying a third party or by not filing suit, the notification period and the time period to file suit will be accelerated to within forty-five (45) days of the date of such notice under the Act to either party.


		
	(e)
	Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be 


shared by UNIVERSITY and LICENSEE equally to cover the litigation costs each incurred, and next shall be paid to UNIVERSITY or LICENSEE to cover any litigation costs it incurred in excess of the litigation costs of the other.  In any suit initiated by LICENSEE, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared between LICENSEE and UNIVERSITY as follows:  (i) for any recovery other than amounts paid for willful infringement:  (A) UNIVERSITY will receive fifteen percent (15%) of the recovery if UNIVERSITY was not a party in the litigation and did not incur any litigation costs; (B) UNIVERSITY will receive 

Final License Navidea_UCSD_ WWS
2014-07-11     - 19 -     






twenty-five percent (25%) of the recovery if UNIVERSITY was a party in the litigation, but did not incur any litigation costs, including the provisions of Paragraph 5.2(b) above, or (C) UNIVERSITY will receive fifty percent (50%) of the recovery if UNIVERSITY incurred any litigation costs in connection with the litigation;  and (ii) for any recovery for willful infringement, UNIVERSITY will receive fifty percent (50%) of the recovery.  In any suit initiated by UNIVERSITY, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will belong to UNIVERSITY.  UNIVERSITY and LICENSEE agree to be bound by all determinations of patent infringement, validity, and enforceability (but no other issue) resolved by any adjudicated judgment in a suit brought in compliance with this Section 5.2.


		
	(f)
	Any agreement made by LICENSEE for purposes of settling litigation or other 


dispute shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.2 (Sublicenses) of this Agreement.  


		
	(g)
	Each party will cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings instituted 


hereunder but at the expense of the party who initiated the suit (unless such suit is being jointly prosecuted by the parties).  


		
	(h)
	Any litigation proceedings will be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except 


that UNIVERSITY may be represented by counsel of its choice in any suit brought by LICENSEE.


5.3   Patent Marking.  LICENSEE shall mark all Licensed Products made, used or sold 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 (i) failure to abide by applicable patent marking laws and (ii) any type of incorrect or improper patent marking.  
ARTICLE 6.  GOVERNMENTAL MATTERS


6.1    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 notify UNIVERSITY if it becomes aware that this Agreement is subject to a United States or foreign government reporting or approval requirement.  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.


6.2    Export Control Laws.  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.



Final License Navidea_UCSD_ WWS
2014-07-11     - 20 -     






6.3    Preference for United States Industry.  If LICENSEE sells a Licensed Product or Combination Product in the US, LICENSEE shall manufacture said product substantially in the US.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at LICENSEE’s request, UNIVERSITY will reasonably cooperate with LICENSEE in seeking a waiver to the requirement for substantial manufacture in the United States according to 35 U.S. CODE § 204.   To the extent such waiver if granted, LICENSEE shall comply with the terms granted in the waiver.

If a Notice of Termination is sent to LICENSEE, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the effective date of that notice.  Termination shall not relieve LICENSEE of its obligation to pay any fees owed at the time of termination and shall not impair any accrued right of UNIVERSITY.  During the term of any such Notice of Default or period to cure, to the extent the default at issue is a failure to pay past or ongoing Patent Costs as provided for under this Agreement, UNIVERSITY shall have no obligation to incur any new Patent Costs under this Agreement and shall have no obligation to further prosecute Patent Rights or file any new patents under Patent Rights.




		
	(b)
	This Agreement will terminate immediately, without the obligation to provide

	(c)
	This Agreement shall automatically terminate without the obligation to provide 


 ninety (90) days’ notice as set forth in Paragraph 7.1(a) upon the filing of a

 LICENSEE as a debtor or alleged debtor.

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.
