upon between the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within *** of disclosure of such Scientific Information or Data, under which the patent application is filed (pursuant to the first paragraph of this Paragraph 3)), the
parties are unable to reach agreement on a royalty payment to be made if and only if any such patent issues, the party which disclosed the patented Invention shall thereafter and in perpetuity have all rights to use such patented Invention in its
territory (e.g., SALMEDIX, within the Territory, respectively F-DE, outside the Territory) and the non-inventing party shall have no right or license to use such patented Invention for any purpose in its territory (e.g., SALMEDIX, within the
Territory, respectively F-DE, outside the Territory) following the issuance of such patent.
