The failure to appropriately mark information/materials as confidential or proprietary upon initial disclosure to the Receiving Party will not be considered a waiver of confidentiality. Information/materials marked as proprietary or confidential when first disclosed, without further identification of the category of confidential information, will be presumptively considered and treated as Program Information until the Disclosing Party notifies the Receiving Party otherwise in writing.

4.05 Exceptions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the obligations of confidentiality and restricted use herein shall not apply to any information or materials to the extent the Receiving Party can establish by documentary evidence that one or more of the following exceptions apply:

a. the information or material was already in the Receiving Party's or its Affiliate's lawful possession (free of any confidentiality and use restrictions) and was not previously acquired directly or indirectly from the other Party under a current obligation of confidentiality;

b. the information or material was already in the public domain or subsequently entered the public domain after disclosure through no fault of the Receiving Party;

c. the information or material was or is hereafter furnished to the Receiving Party, or its Affiliate, on a non- confidential basis by a third party legally entitled to provide the information or material without restriction;

d. the information or material was independently developed by employees or agents of the Receiving Party or its Affiliate who did not have access to relevant information provided by the Disclosing Party; and/or

e. the information or material was released from the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement by the Disclosing Party's written authorization.

The later occurrence of any one of the aforementioned exceptions will not excuse any failure to adequately protect Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement prior to the existence of the exception. More specific Confidential Information will not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by more general information that is publicly available or in the possession of Receiving Party pursuant to one of the exceptions. Also a combination of features will not be deemed within the foregoing exceptions merely because individual features are publicly available or in Receiving Party's possession pursuant to one of the exceptions.

4.06 Disclosure to Affiliates, Contractors, and Sub-licensees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Receiving Party may disclose a Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to its Affiliates, and said Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to their respective contractors providing services in furtherance of a Project as well as to permitted sub-licensees hereunder, provided such Affiliates, contractors, and sub-licensees have agreed to be bound by confidentiality and limited use obligations no less protective of Disclosing Party's Confidential Information than the terms contained herein. The Receiving Party will be liable to the Disclosing Party for any unauthorized disclosure or misuse of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information by such Affiliates, contractors, and sub-licensees.

4.07 Compelled Disclosure. In the event that a Receiving Party (or its Affiliate) is required by law, court order or rule, or government authority to disclose the Confidential Information that Receiving Party is obligated to hold in confidence pursuant to Paragraph 4.01 (Program Information Disclosure, Confidentiality and Use Restriction) and/or Paragraph 4.02 (Background Information Disclosure, Confidentiality and Use Restriction), then the Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party prior to disclosure in order to enable the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order at the Disclosing Party's sole expense. In any event, the Receiving Party who is required to disclose such information will request confidential treatment of the information and only disclose the minimum amount of information reasonably necessary to comply with such law, court order or rule, or government authority.

4.09 Return/Destruction. At the Disclosing Party's written request, the Receiving Party agrees to return to Disclosing Party or, at Disclosing Party's option, dispose of or destroy, Disclosing Party's Confidential Background Information and any of Disclosing Party's unused Background Samples. However, notwithstanding anything else in this Paragraph, the Receiving Party may retain such documents and materials to the extent such documents and materials are identified as necessary for beneficial use of a further Project or a license granted herein and the Receiving Party has notified the Disclosing Party in writing of the need for such documents and materials. Any dispute over whether such documents and materials are necessary shall be escalated to senior management for resolution. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything else in this Paragraph 4.09, the Receiving Party may retain one (1) copy of such documents and materials in its secure files for the sole purpose of administering its obligations under this Agreement and the Receiving Party will not be required to purge or cause others to purge electronic archival media automatically generated by backup computer systems if said media will be destroyed pursuant to a systematic records retention process and not otherwise utilized.

Unless the other Party specifically requests in writing not to be credited, appropriate recognition of the support or encouragement of the other Party will be included in such publications. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other on the preparation of any such publications. If any proposed publication contains the non-publishing Party's Background Information, such information (including reference thereto) will be deleted at the non-publishing Party's request. No publication that violates Article 4 (Disclosure, Confidentiality and Restricted Use) or Paragraph 5.01 (Publicity) will be permitted without the prior written consent of the other Party which may be obtained from a duly authorized member of each Party.

ARTICLE 6 - OWNERSHIP / PROCUREMENT OF PROGRAM RESULTS

6.01 Ownership of Program Results. ExxonMobil will solely own Program Information, Program Patents, and copyrightable works resulting from the Program (collectively, Program Results), irrespective of whether the Program Results are conceived, created, developed or acquired by employees or other representatives of FCE, ExxonMobil, or both. FCE will assign, and hereby assigns, to ExxonMobil ownership of Program Results.

6.02 Solicitation of Program Patents. ExxonMobil will have the sole responsibility and the exclusive right to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain Program Patents pursuant to Paragraph 6.01 (Ownership of Program Results). Such right will include the right to determine if, where, and when patent applications are filed, and the scope of such patent applications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ExxonMobil shall provide FCE notice of its intent to file any patent application containing FCE's Confidential Background Information and an opportunity for FCE to review any such patent application for FCE's Confidential Background Information. If FCE does not respond within thirty (30) days from ExxonMobil seeking such consent, then ExxonMobil may proceed with such filing. The cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining any such patent applications that ExxonMobil decides to pursue and maintain, as well as the cost of maintaining any patents resulting therefrom, will be paid in full by ExxonMobil. For Program Patents, if one or more employees or other representatives of FCE are determined to be inventors, then FCE will:

(i) cause its employees, contractors, and consultants to render reasonable and timely assistance to ExxonMobil and its attorneys or agents;

(ii) assign, and will cause its and its Affiliates' employees, contractors, and consultants to assign, its right, title, and interest in and to such Program Patent to ExxonMobil for filing; and

(iii) cause its and its Affiliate employees, contractors, and consultants, to execute any documents as may be required to effect such assignments, or file, prosecute, and maintain any patent applications or patents that are based on, derived from, or protect such Program Patent.

ExxonMobil will hold formal legal title to all such patent applications, and resulting patents.

6.03 Cooperation in Soliciting Program Patents. The Parties agree to cooperate in the preparation, filing, prosecution, and securing of patent applications and patents, all without charge to such other Party. When ExxonMobil's patent counsel sends to FCE documents for review that contains FCE Confidential Background Information, the Parties will follow the review process pursuant to Paragraph 6.02 (Solicitation of Program Patents). Upon FCE's written request, ExxonMobil will provide a courtesy copy of any Program Patent that does not contain any FCE Confidential Background Information prior to filing such document. All Program Patent filings, and the status thereof, will be reported to the Steering Committee.

6.04 Solicitation of Program Patents Discretionary. ExxonMobil has the unencumbered right to file or not to file, prosecute, defend, maintain, abandon, or enforce any Program Invention or Program Patent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event ExxonMobil decides not to prosecute, defend, enforce, maintain or decides to abandon any Program Patent, then ExxonMobil will provide notice thereof to FCE, and FCE will then have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute or maintain the Program Patent and sole responsibility for the continuing costs, taxes, legal fees, maintenance fees and other fees associated with that Program Patent. The ownership of such Program Patent will remain with ExxonMobil.

The abandonment of a pending patent application in favor of a continuation patent application, continuation-in-part patent application, or divisional patent application, or in favor of another application of a related subject (e.g. to overcome a double patenting rejection) and ExxonMobil's decision not to file any Program Patent, will not be deemed to be an election not to continue to prosecute, issue, or maintain any Program Patent under Paragraph 6.04. In addition, (a) the failure to appeal a patent office or any administrative tribunal or judicial decision adverse to any patent or patent application, or (b) in the case of a co-pending non-provisional application in the U.S., (i) failure to enter an international patent application into the national phase, or (ii) to ratify a patent in any country, will not be deemed to be an election not to continue to prosecute, issue, or maintain any Program Patent under Paragraph 6.04.

6.06 Joint Research Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a joint research agreement as defined in 35 U.S.C. §100(h). The specification of any patent application filed pursuant to this Agreement may contain (or may be amended to contain) language required to invoke 35 U.S.C. §102(b)(2)(C) and §102(c) as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 5.01 (Publicity), ExxonMobil will have the right to invoke these statutory provisions when exercising its rights to file patent applications under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of FCE, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6.02 (Solicitation of Program Patents). Where ExxonMobil intends to invoke these statutory provisions, FCE, upon request, will cooperate and coordinate its activities with ExxonMobil with respect to any submissions, filings or other activities in support thereof.

6.07 Inventor Awards. A Party will not be responsible for any inventor awards or compensation that may be owed to the other Party's employee(s) or to any employees of the other Party's Affiliates, agents, consultants, or contractors, who are inventors of any Program Invention.

6.08 Disposal of Prior JDA Project Patents. During the Term of this Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter, in the event that either Party decides to sell or convey its interest in or otherwise dispose of any Prior JDA Project Patent to any Non-Affiliated Third Party, such Party will inform the other Party, who will then have the right of first refusal to purchase or otherwise acquire the sole interest at same or better terms. Any sale of a Prior JDA Project Patent to a Non-Affiliated Third Party is subject to the licenses granted and other obligations set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7 - LICENSE TO PROGRAM RESULTS

7.01 Grants to FCE of Program Results.

(a) FCE's R&D Rights.

In the event ExxonMobil notifies FCE that it has formally decided not to pursue Generation 2 Technology for Carbon Capture Applications, then upon FCE's written request, ExxonMobil agrees to grant to FCE, under commercially reasonable terms to be determined in good faith, a worldwide, royalty-bearing (with the royalty to be negotiated), non- exclusive, sub-licensable, right and license to practice ExxonMobil Background Information and ExxonMobil Background Patents for Generation 2 Technology in any application outside of Power Applications and Hydrogen Applications. More particularly, said right and license to practice ExxonMobil Background Information and ExxonMobil Background Patents for Generation 2 Technology in any application outside of Power Applications includes the right to use, reproduce, and create derivative works of ExxonMobil Background Information under applicable copyrights and the right to make, use, import, and sell or offer to sell under the claims of ExxonMobil Background Patents. Nothing in this section will create an obligation on the part of ExxonMobil to grant FCE a license or right under ExxonMobil Background Patents or ExxonMobil Background Information if the Parties do not agree on the terms and conditions of such license.

Each Party will be responsible for all expenses (including attorney fees) and damages (e.g. royalties, settlement costs) incurred in defense of a claim of infringement by its own equipment, products, or processes, or by equipment, products, or processes of its Affiliates, contractors or consultants.

9.03 Settlements. Each Party may resolve any risk or threat, or settle any suits or action related to use of any Program Results, without the prior approval of the other Party unless such resolution or settlement would cause the other Party to be: (a) obligated to make any payment or part with any tangible or intangible property right, or (b) obligated to assume any obligations with respect thereto, or (c) subject to any injunction.

ARTICLE 10 -PAYMENT

10.01 Project Costs.

a) ExxonMobil will reimburse FCE for Research Costs (i.e., cumulative FTE Costs and Direct Costs) for each Project subject to total caps set forth herein and in the relevant Project Description. Research Costs of FCE paid for by ExxonMobil will be limited to FTE Costs for time actually spent on the Program and Direct Costs actually incurred and approved in advance by the Steering Committee. The cumulative Research Costs for the Program will not exceed forty-five million United States dollars ($45,000,000 USD) over the Term of the Agreement (Total Research Cost). ExxonMobil will reimburse FCE for Research Costs after receipt of invoices on a monthly basis. Invoices for Direct Costs will be supported by relevant third party invoices received by FCE documenting such costs. Materials shall be invoiced as incurred and subject to a thirty percent (30%) service fee. All such payments will be made after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoices in accordance with the invoicing procedures specified in Paragraphs 10.01(b)-(e) and in Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices).

b) First Invoice. FCE will invoice ExxonMobil an advance payment on or promptly after the Effective Date (Initial Payment), said Initial Payment not to exceed one-twelfth (1/12) of the Total Research Cost (i.e., three-million and seven-hundred and fifty thousand United States dollars ($3,750,000 USD)). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, including Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices), such payment will be made within fifteen (15) days after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoice.

c) Subsequent Monthly Invoices. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month that occurs during the remainder of the Term of the Agreement, subject to Paragraph 10.01(e), FCE will calculate and invoice ExxonMobil for the actual amounts incurred (for charges permitted in accordance with the respective Project Description(s)) during the immediately preceding calendar month.

d) End of Term of the Program.

i. By the fifteenth (15th) day of the last month of the Term of the Agreement, ExxonMobil will have been invoiced for the actual charges incurred in all of the prior months of the Term of the Agreement, but the most recently issued invoice will not be due. Therefore, at such time ExxonMobil will not have yet paid for the last two (2) months of the Term of the Agreement. When FCE issues the invoice during the last month of the Term of the Agreement (8th Inning Invoice), FCE will apply some or all of the Initial Payment, as applicable, as credit against the amount due.

ii. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Term of the Agreement, FCE will issue an invoice (9th Inning Invoice) for the actual charges incurred during the last month of the Term of the Agreement, subject to Paragraph 10.01(a). FCE will apply any balance of the Initial Payment remaining after the 8th Inning Invoice as a credit towards the amount due on the 9th Inning Invoice. If after applying such credit, a balance of the Initial Payment still remains, FCE will refund the balance to ExxonMobil within thirty (30) days, unless otherwise mutually agreed (such as the Parties mutually agreeing to enter into a new Project and apply the balance as a credit towards amounts payable by ExxonMobil thereunder).

e) Maximum Charges. The invoices sent by FCE under the foregoing procedure for each year of the Agreement may not in the aggregate be more than half the Total Research Cost, without prior written consent of ExxonMobil or amendment to the Project Description. All such payments will be made after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoice in accordance with the invoicing procedures specified Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices).

10.02 Up-Front Exclusivity and Technology Access Payment. In exchange for FCE working exclusively with ExxonMobil during the Term of the Agreement, pursuant to Paragraph 2.03 (Work Exclusivity/Independent Work), and ExxonMobil's access to FCE Background Patents, pursuant to Paragraph 8.02(a) (Grant of Rights to Background Information and Background Patents), on the Effective Date, FCE will separately invoice, and ExxonMobil will pay a one-time up-front fee (Exclusivity and Technology Access Fee) of five million United States dollars ($5,000,000 USD).

Such payment will be made within fifteen (15) days after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoice, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, including Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices).

10.03 Milestone Payments. As further consideration for technical progress in the Program, ExxonMobil shall pay the following sums upon achievement of the following Program milestones (Milestone Payments):

(a) ExxonMobil will pay FCE a first Milestone Payment of five million United States dollars ($5,000,000 USD) upon FCE achieving Milestone 1 to ExxonMobil's satisfaction; and

(b) ExxonMobil will pay FCE a second and final Milestone Payment of five million United States dollars ($5,000,000 USD), upon FCE achieving Milestone 2 to ExxonMobil's satisfaction.

All such Milestone Payments will be made after ExxonMobil's receipt of invoice in accordance with the invoicing procedures specified Paragraph 10.04 (Invoices). The obligation to pay any such installment ends upon termination of this Agreement by either Party for any reason prior to FCE achieving the respective milestone.

10.04 Invoices. FCE will invoice ExxonMobil for any amount due under a Project at the address (including the email address) in Article 16 (Addresses and Notices). Each invoice will identify this Agreement's identification number LAW-2019-3608, the number of the particular Project Description to which it pertains, and details of FTE Costs (including unique employee identifiers of the FTEs) and Direct Costs. FCE will not include charges relating to more than one Project Description in any given invoice. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, ExxonMobil agrees to pay FCE the amount of each invoice under this Agreement within thirty (30) days following ExxonMobil's receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if ExxonMobil has a good faith dispute regarding any amounts invoiced by FCE, ExxonMobil may withhold payment for the disputed amount, provided that ExxonMobil pays the undisputed amount and notifies FCE in writing of the specific amount and nature of the dispute promptly upon receipt of FCE's invoice in which case the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. The Parties shall endeavor to resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) days of notice of the dispute, and ExxonMobil shall remit payment to FCE within fifteen (15) days of resolution of such dispute.

All such payments by ExxonMobil to FCE will be made by wire transfer in United States Dollars. FCE shall provide the Bank Name, Bank Address, Bank Account, and Swift Code in each invoice.

  14.4 Liquidated Damages on Termination.   14.4.1 Calculation of Liquidated Damages. You acknowledge and agree that the premature termination of this Agreement will cause substantial damage to us. You agree that Liquidated Damages are not a penalty, but represent a reasonable estimate of the minimum just and fair compensation for the damages we will suffer as the result of your failure to operate the Hotel for the Term. If this Agreement terminates before the Expiration Date, you will pay us Liquidated Damages as follows:   14.4.1.1 If termination occurs before you begin the Hotel Work and before the Opening Date, and you or any Guarantor (or your or any Guarantor's Affiliates) directly or indirectly, enter into a franchise, license, management, lease and/or other similar agreement for or begin construction or commence operation of a hotel, motel, inn, or similar facility at the Hotel Site under a Competitor Brand within one (1) year after termination, then you will pay us Liquidated Damages in an amount equal to $3,600 multiplied by the number of approved Guest Rooms at the Hotel.   14.4.1.2 If termination occurs after you begin the Hotel Work but before the Opening Date, you will pay us Liquidated Damages in an amount equal to $3,600 multiplied by the number of approved Guest Rooms at the Hotel, unless your failure to complete the Hotel Work was the result of Force Majeure.   14.4.1.3 If termination occurs after the Effective Date but before the second anniversary of the Opening Date, you will pay us Liquidated Damages in an amount equal to $3,600 multiplied by the number of approved Guest Rooms at the Hotel.   14.4.1.4 If termination occurs after the second anniversary of the Opening Date but before the final five (5) calendar years of the Term, you will pay us Liquidated Damages in an amount calculated by dividing the sum of the Monthly Royalty Fees due to us under this Agreement for the prior twenty-four (24) month period by twenty-four (24) and then multiplying the resulting sum by sixty (60).   14.4.1.5 If there are less than sixty (60) months remaining in the Term on the date of termination, you will pay us Liquidated Damages in an amount calculated by dividing the sum of the Monthly Royalty Fees due to us under this Agreement for the prior twenty-four (24) month period by twenty-four (24) and then multiplying the resulting sum by the number of months remaining in the Term.   14.4.2 Payment of Liquidated Damages. Payment of Liquidated Damages is due thirty (30) days following termination of this Agreement or on demand.   14.5 Actual Damages Under Special Circumstances.

25







  15.1.7 your failure to comply with Subsection 17.13, including a breach of the representations set forth therein.   15.2 You do not have to indemnify an Indemnified Party to the extent damages otherwise covered under this Section 15 are adjudged by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been solely the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnified Party, and not any of the acts, errors, omissions, negligence or misconduct of you or anyone related to you or the Hotel. You may not rely on this exception to your indemnity obligation if the claims were asserted against us or any other Indemnified Party on the basis of theories of imputed or secondary liability, such as vicarious liability, agency, or apparent agency, or our failure to compel you to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, including compliance with Standards, Laws or other requirements.   15.3 You will give us written notice of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry or investigation involving an Indemnified Party within five (5) days of your knowledge of it. At our election, you will defend us and/or the Indemnified Parties against the same or we may elect to assume (but under no circumstance will we be obligated to undertake) the defense and/or settlement of the action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry or investigation at your expense and risk.   15.4 If we think our respective interests conflict, we may obtain separate counsel of our choice. This will not diminish your obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties and to hold them harmless. You will reimburse the Indemnified Parties on demand for all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expert fees, costs and other expenses of litigation, the Indemnified Parties incur to protect themselves or to remedy your defaults. The Indemnified Parties will not be required to seek recovery from third parties or otherwise mitigate their losses to maintain a claim against you, and their failure to do so will not reduce the amounts recoverable from you by the Indemnified Parties.   15.6 Your obligations under this Section 15 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.   16.0 RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES   16.1 No Agency Relationship. You are an independent contractor. Neither Party is the legal representative or agent of the other Party nor has the power to obligate the other Party for any purpose.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable due to its scope, but may be made enforceable by limiting its scope, the provision will be considered amended to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

26

Source: CYTODYN INC., 10-Q, 1/9/2020





In the event that a Licensed Product is sold as a Combination Product, Net Sales shall be determined as follows:

(A) where all API(s) in such Combination Product are sold separately in the Territory, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sale price of the Licensed Product, as sold separately in finished form in the Territory, where net sales is calculated in the same manner as Net Sales, and B is the sum of the weighted average unit sale price in the Territory (net sales being calculated in the same manner as Net Sales) of the other API(s) included in the Combination Product when sold separately in finished form at the same dosage levels, in each case during the applicable royalty reporting period, or, if sales of both the Licensed Product and the other API(s) did not occur in the same country in such period, then in the most recent royalty reporting period in which sales of both occurred, provided that such recent royalty reporting period shall not have been more than twenty-four (24) months earlier.

(B) In the event that such weighted average sale price of the Licensed Product component of the Combination Product cannot be determined, but the weighted average sale price of the other API(s) in the Combination Product can be determined, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction (C-D)/C, where C is the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sale price of the Combination Product, and D is the sum of the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sales prices charged for the other API(s) in the Combination Product when sold separately in finished form.

(C) In the event that such weighted average sale price of the other API(s) in the Combination Product cannot be determined, but the weighted average sale price of the Licensed Product component of the Combination Product can be determined, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where A is the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sales price of such Licensed Product component as sold separately, and C is the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sales price of the Combination Product.

(D) In the event that neither the weighted average sale price of the Licensed Product nor the weighted average sales price of the other API(s) in the Combination Product can be determined, the Net Sales of the Licensed Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product (determined as provided above for Licensed Products) by the fraction D/D+E where D is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Product that includes the Licensed Product and E is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Product containing the other API(s) in such Combination Product, and all such fair market values shall be determined in good faith by the Parties.

In the event either Party reasonably believes that the calculation set forth above does not fairly reflect the value of the Licensed Product, relative to the other API(s) in the Combination Product, the Parties shall negotiate, in good faith, other means of calculating Net Sales with respect to Combination Products to so reflect such value.

The weighted average sale price for a Licensed Product, any other API(s) used in a Combination Product, or any Combination Product shall be calculated once each Calendar Year, at the beginning of such Calendar Year, and such price shall be used during all applicable royalty reporting periods for such entire Calendar Year. When determining the weighted average sale price of a Licensed Product, other API(s), or Combination Product, the weighted average sale price shall be calculated by dividing the sales dollar (translated into U.S. dollars) by the units of active ingredient sold during the preceding Calendar Year (or the number of months sold in a partial Calendar Year) for the respective Licensed Product, other API(s), or Combination Product. In the initial Calendar Year, a forecasted weighted average sale price will be used for the Licensed Product, other API(s) or Combination Product.

The audit rights set forth in this Section 8.11 shall survive the Term for a period of three (3) years.

8.12 Late Payment. All payments due to a Party under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the receiving Party.

13.3 Indemnification Procedures. (a) Notice. Promptly after a CytoDyn Indemnitee or a Vyera Indemnitee (each, an Indemnitee) receives notice of a pending or threatened Claim, such Indemnitee shall give written notice of the Claim to the Party from whom the Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to Sections 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable (the Indemnifying Party). However, an Indemnitee's delay in providing or failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent it can demonstrate actual prejudice due to the delay or lack of notice. (b) Defense. Upon receipt of notice under this Section 13.3 from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend, at its own expense and by counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee) such Claim. The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Indemnitee's original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 13 and of its intention either to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee's reasonable out of pocket Third Party expenses related to its investigation and cooperation, except as otherwise provided in the next sentence. As to all Claims as to which the Indemnifying Party has assumed control under this Section 13.3(b), the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of a Claim (as reasonably directed by the Indemnifying Party) at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, based upon a written opinion from outside legal counsel, that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee in the defense of such Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of one (1) law firm serving as counsel for the Indemnitee in relation to such Third Party Claim. (c) Cooperation. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of such Claim (to the extent the Indemnitee is not participating in the defense of such Claim) and conduct the defense of such Claim in a prudent manner. (d) Settlement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee's written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee's consent shall not be required of a settlement where: (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; (iii) the Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected; and (iv) there is a full release of the Indemnitee from such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of a Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnitee may settle such Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for such settlement as provided in this Article 13. It is understood that only Vyera and CytoDyn may claim indemnification under this Agreement (on its own behalf or on behalf of its Indemnitees), and other Indemnitees may not directly claim indemnity under this Agreement.

13.4 Insurance. Each Party, at its own expense, shall maintain comprehensive general liability, product liability and other appropriate insurance for the activities such Party undertakes pursuant to this Agreement, from reputable and financially secure insurance carriers in a form and at levels consistent with sound business practice and adequate in light of its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance (or evidence of self-insurance) evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request. Such insurance will not create a limit to a Party's liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 13 or otherwise. This Section 13.4 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for the period in which the Licensed Product is being Commercialized by or on behalf of Vyera plus six (6) years. Each Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice of any cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance that could materially adversely affect the rights of the other Party hereunder, and shall provide such notice within thirty (30) days after any such cancellation, non-renewal or material change.

13.5 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY'S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 13, AND ANY BREACH OF ARTICLE 10 (CONFIDENTIALITY), IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY (OR THE OTHER PARTY'S AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES) IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, LOST ROYALTIES, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO GOODWILL, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN PLACED ON NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FOR CLARITY AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 13.5, ROYALTIES AND MILESTONES PAYABLE TO CYTODYN IN CONNECTION WITH VYERA'S COMMERCIALIZATION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT COULD CONSTITUTE DIRECT DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT AWARDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 12.

ARTICLE 14 MISCELLANEOUS

14.2 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

14.3 Designation of Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligation and exercise any right hereunder through delegation of its obligations or rights to any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party's obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party's Affiliate of any of such Party's obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party's Affiliate.

14.4 Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that CytoDyn, on the one hand, and Vyera, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency, including for tax purposes. Neither CytoDyn nor Vyera shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so. All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of such employment shall be at the expense of such Party.

14.5 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by Force Majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting Force Majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a Force Majeure affecting such Party. If a Force Majeure persists for more than [***], then the Parties shall discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties' obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure.

14.6 Assignment. Vyera may not assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of CytoDyn, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that Vyera may assign this Agreement without CytoDyn's consent to an Affiliate or to a successor to substantially all of the business of Vyera to which this Agreement relates. A Change of Control shall be deemed an assignment for purposes of this Agreement. Any permitted successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by Vyera in violation of the terms of this Section 14.6 shall be null, void and of no legal effect. For clarity, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Vyera from undergoing any Change of Control, but if Vyera undergoes a Change of Control, it will be subject to Section 2.6. CytoDyn may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole but not in part, to any Third Party not in a materially worse (financially and otherwise) of performing CytoDyn's obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Vyera (it being understood that any other assignment of this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder shall require the prior written consent of Vyera, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

14.7 Severability. If any one (1) or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision(s) shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

14.8 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

14.9 Further Assurance. Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof.

14.10 Headings. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.

14.11 Construction. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days without using a term otherwise defined herein, such number refers to calendar days. The terms including, include, includes or for example shall not limit the generality of any description preceding such term and, as used herein, shall have the same meaning as including, but not limited to, and/or including, without limitation. The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the Parties and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party hereto. Each Party represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting hereof. In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption will apply against the Party which drafted such terms and provision.
