8.2

	
Licensee agrees to have an audit of sales and royalties conducted by an independent auditor at least every two (2) years if annual sales of the Licensed Products or Licensed Processes are over two (2) million dollars.  The audit shall address, at a minimum, the amount of gross sales by or on behalf of Licensee during the audit period, terms of the license as to percentage or fixed royalty to be remitted to the Government, the amount of royalties owed to the Government under this Agreement, and whether the royalties owed have been paid to the Government and is reflected in the records of the Licensee.  The audit shall also indicate the PHS license number, product, and the time period being audited.  A report certified by the auditor shall be submitted promptly by the auditor directly to PHS on completion.  Licensee shall pay for the entire cost of the audit.

REPORTS ON PROGRESS, BENCHMARKS, SALES, AND PAYMENTS







 



	
  

	
9.1

	
Prior to signing this Agreement, Licensee has provided PHS with the Commercial Development Plan in Appendix E, under which Licensee intends to bring the subject matter of the Licensed Patent Rights to the point of Practical Application.  This Commercial Development Plan is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.  Based on this plan, performance Benchmarks are determined as specified in Appendix D.







 



	
  

	
9.2

	
Licensee shall provide written annual reports on its product development progress or efforts to commercialize under the Commercial Development Plan for each of the Licensed Fields of Use within sixty (60) days after December 31 of each calendar year.  These progress reports shall include, but not be limited to: progress on research and development, status of applications for regulatory approvals, manufacturing, marketing, importing, and sales during the preceding calendar year, as well as, plans for the present calendar year.  PHS also encourages these reports to include information on any of Licensee’s public service activities that relate to the Licensed Patent Rights.  If reported progress differs from that projected in the Commercial Development Plan and Benchmarks, Licensee shall explain the reasons for such differences.  In any annual report, Licensee may propose amendments to the Commercial Development Plan, acceptance of which by PHS may not be denied unreasonably.  Licensee agrees to provide any additional information reasonably required by PHS to evaluate Licensee’s performance under this Agreement.  Licensee may amend the Benchmarks at any time upon written approval by PHS.  PHS shall not unreasonably withhold approval of any request of Licensee to extend the time periods of this schedule if the request is supported by a reasonable showing by Licensee of diligence in its performance under the Commercial Development Plan and toward bringing the Licensed Products to the point of Practical Application.







 



	
  

	
9.3

	
Licensee shall report to PHS the dates for achieving Benchmarks specified in Appendix D and the First Commercial Sale in each country in the Licensed Territory within thirty (30) days of such occurrences.

Licensee shall submit to PHS, within sixty (60) days after each calendar half-year ending June 30 and December 31, a royalty report, as described in the example in Appendix F, setting forth for the preceding half-year period the amount of the Licensed Products sold or Licensed Processes practiced by or on behalf of Licensee in each country within the Licensed Territory, the Net Sales, and the amount of royalty accordingly due.  With each royalty report, Licensee shall submit payment of earned royalties due.  If no earned royalties are due to PHS for any reporting period, the written report shall so state.  The royalty report shall be certified as correct by an authorized officer of Licensee and shall include a detailed listing of all deductions made under Paragraph 2.11 to determine Net Sales made under Article 6 to determine royalties due.







 



	
  

	
9.5

9.6

	
Royalties due under Article 6 shall be paid in U.S. dollars and payment options are listed in Appendix G.  For conversion of foreign currency to U.S. dollars, the conversion rate shall be the New York foreign exchange rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the day that the payment is due, and any loss of exchange, value, taxes, or other expenses incurred in the transfer or conversion to U.S. dollars shall be paid entirely by Licensee.  The royalty report required by Paragraph 9.4 shall be mailed to PHS at its address for Agreement Notices indicated on the Signature Page.







 



	
  

	
9.7

	
Licensee shall be solely responsible for determining if any tax on royalty income is owed outside the United States and shall pay this tax and be responsible for all filings with appropriate agencies of foreign governments.







 



	
  

	
9.8

	
Additional royalties may be assessed by PHS on any payment that is more than ninety (90) days overdue at the rate of one percent (1%) per month.  This one percent (1%) per month rate may be applied retroactively from the original due date until the date of receipt by PHS of the overdue payment and additional royalties.  The payment of any additional royalties shall not prevent PHS from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.







 



	
  

	
9.9

13.6

	
In making the determination referenced in Paragraph 13.5, PHS shall take into account the normal course of such commercial development programs conducted with sound and reasonable business practices and judgment and the annual reports submitted by Licensee under Paragraph 9.2.  Prior to invoking termination or modification of this Agreement under Paragraph 13.5, PHS shall give written notice to Licensee providing Licensee specific notice of, and a ninety (90) day opportunity to respond to, PHS’ concerns as to the items referenced in 13.5(a)-13.5(g).  If Licensee fails to alleviate PHS’ concerns as to the items referenced in 13.5(a)-13.5(g) or fails to initiate corrective action to PHS’ satisfaction, PHS may terminate this Agreement.







 



	
  

	
13.7

	
PHS reserves the right according to 35 U.S.C. §209(d)(3) to terminate or modify this Agreement if it is determined that the action is necessary to meet the requirements for public use specified by federal regulations issued after the date of the license and these requirements are not reasonably satisfied by Licensee.







 



	
  

	
13.8

	
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of PHS’ unilateral decision to modify or terminate this Agreement, Licensee may, consistent with the provisions of 37 C.F.R. §404.11, appeal the decision by written submission to the designated PHS official.  The decision of the designated PHS official shall be the final agency decision.  Licensee may thereafter exercise any and all administrative or judicial remedies that may be available.







 



	
  

	
13.9

	
Within ninety (90) days of expiration or termination of this Agreement under this Article 13, a final report shall be submitted by Licensee.  Any royalty payments, including those incurred but not yet paid (such as the full minimum annual royalty), and those related to patent expense, due to PHS shall become immediately due and payable upon termination or expiration. If terminated under this Article 13, sublicensees may elect to convert their sublicenses to direct licenses with PHS pursuant to Paragraph 4.3.  Unless otherwise specifically provided for under this Agreement, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Licensee shall return all Licensed Products or other materials included within the Licensed Patent Rights to PHS or provide PHS with written certification of the destruction thereof.  Licensee may not be granted additional PHS licenses if the final reporting requirement is not fulfilled.







 



	
14.

	
GENERAL PROVISIONS







 



	
  

	
14.1

	
Neither party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing.  The failure of the Government 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 by the Government or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any of these terms or conditions by Licensee.







 



	
  

	
14.2

	
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter of the Licensed Patent Rights, Licensed Products and Licensed Processes, and all prior negotiations, representations, agreements, and understandings are merged into, extinguished by, and completely expressed by this Agreement.







 



	
  

	
14.3

	
The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any controlling body of law, this determination shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.







 



	
  

	
14.4

	
If either party desires a modification to this Agreement, the parties shall, upon reasonable notice of the proposed modification by the party desiring the change, confer in good faith to determine the desirability of the modification.

14.10

	
Licensee agrees to mark the Licensed Products or their packaging sold in the United States with all applicable U.S. patent numbers and similarly to indicate “Patent Pending” status.
