      if LICENSEE is required to license the intellectual property of a Third Party

      Party.

    

    (ii)
      the earned royalty due on Net Sales of Combination Product by LICENSEE and/or

      or
      product components, respectively, that satisfied the requirements outlined
      in
      Paragraph 1.13. If LICENSEE does not separately sell any of the B, C . . .
      products or product components used in Combination Product, the purchase price
      paid by LICENSEE in the procurement of said products or product components
      shall
      be used.

    

    (iii)
      under no circumstances shall the royalty due to University be less than sixty
      percent (60%) of the amount due without the deductions allowable under 3.1(c)(i)
      or (ii), therefore the royalties due to University shall never be less than

      cumulatively amounts to less than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000)
      (“minimum

      28 following the last quarter of such year the difference between amount noted
      above and the total earned royalty paid by LICENSEE for such year under
      Paragraphs 3.1(d) and (f); provided, however, that for the year of commercial
      sales of the first Licensed Product, the amount of minimum annual royalty

    (a) Progress
      Reports.

     

    (1) Beginning
      January 1, 2002 and ending on the date of first commercial sale of a Licensed
      Product in the United States, LICENSEE shall submit to UNIVERSITY semi-annual
      progress reports covering LICENSEE's (and Affiliate's and Sublicensee's)
      activities to develop and test all Licensed Products and obtain governmental
      approvals necessary for marketing the same. Such reports shall include a summary
      of work completed; summary of work in progress; current schedule of anticipated
      events or milestones; market plans for introduction of Licensed Products; and
      summary of resources (dollar value) spent in the reporting period.

    

    (2) LICENSEE
      shall also report to UNIVERSITY, in its immediately subsequent progress report,
      the date of first commercial sale of a Licensed Product in each
      country.

    

    (b) Royalty
      Reports.
      After
      the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product anywhere in the world, LICENSEE
      shall submit to UNIVERSITY quarterly royalty reports on or before each February
      28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. Each royalty report
      shall cover LICENSEE's (and each Affiliate's and Sublicensee's) most recently
      completed calendar quarter and shall show:

    

    (1) the
      gross
      sales, deductions as provided in Paragraph 1.11, and Net Sales during the most
      recently completed calendar quarter and the royalties, in US dollars, payable
      with respect thereto;

     

    (2) the
      number of each type of Licensed Product sold;

     

    (3) sublicense
      fees and royalties received during the most recently completed calendar quarter

    (5) the
      exchange rates used.

    

    If
      no

      received by LICENSEE during any reporting period, LICENSEE shall so
      report.

    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 three (3) 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. 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 (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 (12) month period, LICENSEE shall
      pay
      the difference within thirty (30) days without interest charge or inspection
      cost.

    

    4.3 Payments.

    

    (a) All
      fees
      and royalties due 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' taxpayer identification number, 95-6006144. 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. 

    

    (1) Royalties
      shall accrue when Licensed Products are invoiced, or if not invoiced, when
      delivered to a third party or Affiliate.

    

    (2) 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.

    (3) Royalties
      earned on sales occurring or under 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' 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. 

    

    (4) 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 fund for as long as the legal restrictions
      apply.

    

    (5) 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.

    

    (6) 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.

    

    (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.

    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. UNIVERSITY shall provide LICENSEE with
      copies of all relevant documentation relating to such prosecution and LICENSEE
      shall keep this documentation confidential. The counsel shall take instructions
      only from UNIVERSITY, and all patents and patent applications in Patent Rights
      shall be assigned solely to UNIVERSITY.

    (b) UNIVERSITY
      shall consider amending any patent application in Patent Rights to include
      claims reasonably requested by LICENSEE to protect the products contemplated
      to
      be sold by LICENSEE under this Agreement.

    

    (c) 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 to take any other additional action as LICENSEE
      reasonably requests in connection therewith.

    

    (d) 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 then have no further license with respect thereto. Non-payment of any
      portion of Patent 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.

    

    5.2
      Patent Infringement.

    

    (a) If
      LICENSEE learns of any substantial infringement of Patent Rights, LICENSEE
      shall
      so inform UNIVERSITY and provide UNIVERSITY with reasonable evidence of the
      infringement. Neither party shall notify a third party of the infringement
      of
      Patent Rights without the consent of the other party. Both parties shall use
      reasonable efforts and cooperation to terminate infringement without
      litigation.

    

    (b) LICENSEE
      may request UNIVERSITY to take legal action against such third party for the
      infringement of Patent Rights. Such request shall be made in writing and shall
      include reasonable evidence of such infringement and damages to LICENSEE. If
      the
      infringing activity has not abated ninety (90) days following LICENSEE’s
      request, UNIVERSITY shall elect to or not to commence suit on its own account.
      UNIVERSITY shall give notice of its election in writing to LICENSEE by the
      end
      of the one-hundredth (100th) day after receiving notice of such request from
      LICENSEE. LICENSEE may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement at its
      own
      expense, if and only if UNIVERSITY elects not to commence suit and the
      infringement occurred in a jurisdiction where LICENSEE has an exclusive license
      under this Agreement. If LICENSEE elects to bring suit, UNIVERSITY may join
      that
      suit at its own expense.

    (c) Recoveries
      from actions brought pursuant to Paragraph 5.2(b) shall belong to the party
      bringing suit. Legal actions brought jointly by UNIVERSITY and LICENSEE and
      fully participated in by both shall be at the joint expense of the parties
      and
      all recoveries shall be shared jointly by them in proportion to the share of
      expense paid by each party.

    

    (d) Each
      party shall cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings at the expense
      of
      the party bringing suit. Litigation shall 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.

      Patent
      Marking.
      LICENSEE

      Approval or Registration.
      If this

      to

      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

    7.1 Termination
      by The Regents.
      If
      LICENSEE fails to perform or violates any term of this Agreement, then
      UNIVERSITY may give written notice of default ("Notice of Default") to LICENSEE.
      If LICENSEE fails to cure the default within ninety (90) days of the Notice
      of
      Default, UNIVERSITY may terminate this Agreement and the license granted herein
      by a second written notice ("Notice of Termination") to LICENSEE. If a Notice
      of
      Termination is sent to LICENSEE, this Agreement shall automatically terminate

      LICENSEE
      shall have the right at any time and for any reason to terminate this Agreement
      upon a ninety (90) day written notice to UNIVERSITY. Said notice shall state
      LICENSEE’s reason for terminating this Agreement.

      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

      to

      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. UNIVERSITY shall provide LICENSEE with copies
      of
      all relevant documentation relating to such prosecution and LICENSEE shall
      keep
      this documentation confidential. The counsel shall take instructions only from
      UNIVERSITY, and all patents and patent applications in Patent Rights shall
      be
      assigned solely to UNIVERSITY.

     

    (b)
      UNIVERSITY shall consider amending any patent application in Patent Rights
      to
      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 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. The University is not obligated
      to
      file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights outside of the territory at any
      time
      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 to take any other additional action as LICENSEE
      reasonably requests in connection therewith.

      Patent
      Marking.

      becomes effective. Termination shall not affect in any manner any rights of
