  The obligation of Spectrum to make the above Patent Royalty Payments shall commence upon the first Launch in each country in the Territory, and shall apply on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis for each given Product in the Human Field in each given country with an applicable Patent until the expiration of
the last-to-expire Patent that covers the Product within the country in question.  Each Patent Royalty Payment shall be accompanied by a written report (to be prepared in a mutually agreeable format), setting forth (without limitations) information necessary for the calculation of such Patent Royalty Payment (including, on a country-by-country basis, the gross sales of each Product sold); the calculation of Net Sales from such gross sales; the royalties payable in Dollars; and any withholding taxes
required by law to be deducted.  Unless otherwise requested or consented to in writing by Altair, all Patent Royalty Payments and reports related to Net Sales by Spectrum’s Affiliates and its licensees shall be made to Altair by Spectrum with (or as a part of) Spectrum’s own payments and reports.
  (b)  Technology Royalty.  In consideration of the assignment granted under Altair’s Know-How, Trade Secrets and Trademarks to Spectrum, Spectrum shall pay to Altair, on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product
basis, a royalty of ******************** **************** commencing on the expiration of the last-to-expire Patent that covers such Product in the Human Field within the country in question (“Technology Royalty Payment”) and continuing until there is generic competition, i.e., first sale of any third party product containing or including any Compound or Product, within the country in question.  In addition, this Technology Royalty
Payment shall also be applicable in those countries for which there is no Patent covering such Product(s), until there is generic competition within the country in question.  The Parties expressly agree that the payment period of this Technology Royalty Payment is not an extension of Altair’s patent rights beyond their term, but rather is a period determined for the convenience of the Parties in appropriately compensating Altair for the assignment granted herein including the assignment of Altair’s
Know-How, Trade Secrets and Trademarks.
  Technology Royalty Payments shall be made on a quarterly basis and paid within ninety (90) days after the end of each reporting period.  Each Technology Royalty Payment shall be accompanied by a written report (to be prepared in a mutually agreeable format), setting forth (without limitations) information necessary
for the calculation of such Technology Royalty Payment (including, on a country-by-country basis, the gross sales of each Product sold); the calculation of Net Sales from such gross sales; the royalties payable in Dollars; and any withholding taxes required by law to be deducted.  Unless otherwise requested or consented to in writing by Altair, all Technology Royalty Payments and reports related to Net Sales by Spectrum’s Affiliates and its licensees shall be made to Altair by Spectrum with (or
as a part of) Spectrum’s own payments and reports.
  (c)  Reduction for Third Party Royalty Obligations.  If it is necessary for Spectrum to acquire and pay for one or more royalty-bearing licenses from one or more Third Party(ies) in order to fully exercise
the rights assigned by Altair hereunder such that it is necessary for Spectrum to pay royalties to such Third Party(ies), the royalties owed to Altair under Section 5.3 shall be reduced by **************** of the amount of such Third Party royalties actually paid by Spectrum; ******************************************* ************************************************************************ **************************************************************.

  5.4  Records and Examination
  (a)  Records.  Spectrum and its Affiliates shall keep full, true and accurate books of account and supporting data and records, and shall cause its licensees to do the same, containing all particulars that
may be necessary for the purpose of calculating and verifying Product sales, Net Sales, and royalty obligations under this Agreement, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis for at least three (3) Spectrum fiscal years following the end of the Spectrum fiscal year to which they pertain, for examination in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4(b).
  (b)  Examination.  If Altair disagrees with the report provided by Spectrum, pursuant to Section 5.3, with reasonable justification for such disagreement, then upon reasonable written notice to Spectrum, a
certified public accountant designated by Altair and reasonably acceptable to Spectrum shall have the right to audit such records of Spectrum and its Affiliates and to review the terms of any licenses granted by Spectrum, in order to confirm the accuracy and completeness of all such reports and all such payments.  Altair shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such audit. Such examination shall be made during regular business hours and upon at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice.  After review of the accountant’s examination report, Spectrum shall promptly pay any uncontested, understated amounts.  Any overpayment shall be promptly refunded or shall be fully creditable against amounts payable in subsequent payment periods, at Spectrum’s election.  Spectrum shall pay reasonably contested, understated amounts, if any, that are due promptly after the dispute is resolved.  If Altair’s accountant reasonably determines that Royalty
Payments (excluding reasonably contested Royalty Payments), under this Agreement have been, for any four (4) consecutive Reporting Periods in total, understated by more than *************, Spectrum shall pay the out-of-pocket costs of the examination.  The Parties agree that all Spectrum and its Affiliates information subject to examination under this Section 5.4(b) may only be used by Altair for purposes germane to this Section 5.4(b).  Altair shall retain and cause its accountant to retain
all such information in confidence.
  5.5  Mode of Payment; Foreign Exchange.  All upfront and milestone payments, Royalty Payments, and Minimum Annual Royalties that are
payable by Spectrum under this Agreement shall be paid in Dollars to Altair via wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by check if requested by Altair, and shall be made where directed by Altair from time to time.  For the purpose of computing Net Sales in a currency other than Dollars, such currency shall be converted into Dollars using the average conversion rate for the relevant period as reported by The Wall Street Journal on the last Business Day of the applicable Reporting Period.
 
 5.6  Taxes.  Each Party shall: comply with applicable tax authority guidelines regarding filing and reporting for income tax purposes,
discuss with each other applicable tax provisions to this Agreement and reasonably cooperate with each other in obtaining certain desired tax treatments.  Neither Party shall treat its relationship with the other Party under this Agreement as a partnership or as a pass through entity for tax purposes.  The Parties agree that any taxes that Spectrum is required by law to withhold from amounts payable to Altair under this Agreement (whether under this Article 5 or otherwise) shall be deducted
by Spectrum from the amounts paid to Altair hereunder at the rate(s) required by applicable law, and shall be promptly paid to the appropriate governmental authority on behalf of Altair.  Spectrum shall promptly provide to Altair receipts from the government or taxing authority evidencing payment of such taxes, if available, or other written proof of payment if official receipts are not available, and shall provide reasonable assistance to Altair to obtain tax credits therefore.
  14 of 34
  5.7  Interest.  All uncontested payments not made by Spectrum when due shall bear interest, calculated from the date such payment was
due, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of: (a) two percent (2%) over the prime rate of interest as published in the weekly Federal Reserve H.15 Bulletin, or any successor bulletin thereto or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
 
 5.8  Stock Sale Opinion. Assuming the shares of Spectrum Common Stock issued hereunder are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, Spectrum agrees to provide Altair with an opinion of counsel, within 5 business days after each request thereof by Altair, addressed to Spectrum’s transfer agent to the effect that all of such shares of Spectrum Common Stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the restrictive legend removed (or the equivalent thereof).

In the event that Spectrum takes such action, Spectrum shall indemnify, defend and hold Altair harmless from any costs, expenses and liabilities respecting the action for such claimed infringement.  Altair agrees to provide all reasonable assistance that Spectrum may reasonably require in
any litigation, including providing written evidence, deposition and trial testimony, for which Spectrum shall pay to Altair a reasonable hourly rate of compensation and reimburse Altair its reasonable costs.  Any damages or other recovery from an infringement action undertaken by Spectrum pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall be used (1) first to reimburse Spectrum’ legal costs and expenses incurred in such action, and (2) thereafter apportioned between the Parties as necessary to return the
Parties as nearly as possible to the same relative position they would have had without the infringement.  Spectrum shall promptly notify Altair in writing of its intention with regard to any such infringement.

of infringement of a right based upon the use of, or arising as a result of the exercise of the rights and assignment granted hereunder (each an “Alleged Infringement”), Spectrum shall have the right and obligation to respond to and defend any and all such Alleged Infringements.

to Spectrum’s Chief Executive Officer and to Altair’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Heads”) for resolution.  The Heads to whom any dispute is submitted shall attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations over a reasonable period, not to exceed forty-five (45) days following one Party’s receipt of a notice of dispute from the other Party, unless otherwise agreed by the Heads.

resolved by negotiation and/or escalation pursuant to Sections 14.1 shall, upon the submission of a written request by either Party to the other Party, be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration in California, U.S., before one (1) neutral arbitrator, unless either Party promptly requests a three (3)-person panel of arbitrators, in which event the three arbitrators shall be used.  Any arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association,
except to the extent that such rules are inconsistent with this Agreement, and shall be conducted in the English language.  In the event of arbitration by three arbitrators, each Party shall select a neutral arbitrator, and shall notify the other Party of its selection of such arbitrator within thirty (30) days after receipt by one Party of the other Party’s written request for binding arbitration.  The two arbitrators shall then mutually select a third neutral arbitrator in accordance
with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Each arbitrator shall be free of any subject matter conflict and conflict with a Party.  The arbitrator(s) shall resolve the dispute in accordance with this Agreement and the substantive laws (without regard to conflict-of-law and choice-of-law principles thereof, and excluding the rules of procedure) of the State of California, U.S.  The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and shall be fully and irrevocably accepted
by the Parties.

The final award of the arbitrator(s) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties, and shall be enforceable in any court of
competent jurisdiction.  The Parties agree that they shall share equally the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, and the cost of the arbitrator(s).  Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and expert fees and all associated costs and expenses, provided that the arbitrator(s) may award attorneys’ fees to the Party deemed by the arbitrator(s) to be the Party substantially prevailing in the proceeding.
  14.3  Patent and Trademark Matters.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 14, any dispute that requires resolution
of the validity, infringement or claim interpretation of any Patent or Trademark (a) that is issued in the United States, shall be subject to actions before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and/or submitted exclusively to the federal court located in the jurisdiction of the district where any of the defendants resides; and (b) that is issued in any other country, shall be brought before an appropriate regulatory or administrative body or court in that country, and the Parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction
and venue of such courts and bodies.  For the avoidance of doubt, such Patent and Trademark disputes shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 14.2.
