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:

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

(i)          the
date of first commercial sale of a Licensed Product in each country;

 

(ii)          the
gross sales, deductions as provided in Paragraph 1.12 (Net Sales), and Net Sales (using best efforts for the portion of Net Sales
due to Sublicensee and Affiliates) during the most recently completed calendar quarter and the royalties, in US dollars, payable
with respect thereto;

 

(iii)          the
number of each type of Licensed Product sold, specifically including the number of Speaker Arrays,;

 

(iv)          Sublicense
Fees and royalties received during the most recently completed calendar quarter in US dollars, payable with respect thereto, the
method used to calculate such Sublicense Fees and royalties, and the names of Sublicensees not introduced by UNIVERSITY;

 

(v)          the
method used to calculate the royalties; and

 

(vi)          the
exchange rates used.

If no sales of Licensed Products have been made and
no Sublicense revenue has been received by LICENSEE during any reporting period, LICENSEE shall so report. The reports referred
to in this Section 4.1(b) should be marked with the following title and case number: "License Agreement between UCSD and ComIkar,
Inc. for case 2010-350." Reports shall be submitted as attachment to UCSD's email address: tto-reports@ucsd.edu.

 

(c)          HA
Reports. UNIVERSITY may provide the UOS with all financial information obtained from LICENSEE under Paragraph 4.1 hereof to
the extent required under IIA, and if such information is provided to the UOS, UNIVERSITY will require that the UOS not
disclose it to third parties.

 

(d)          Timely
Reports. LICENSEE acknowledges the important value that timely reporting provides in the UNIVERSITY's effective management
of its rights under this Agreement. LICENSEE further acknowledges that failure to render the reports required under this Section
4.1 may harm UNIVERSITY's ability to manage its rights under this Agreement. As such, reports not submitted by the required due
date under this Section 4.1 will cause to be due by LICENSEE to UNIVERSITY a late reporting fee of five hundred dollars (US$500.00)
per month until such report, compliant with the requirements of this Section 4.1, is received by UNIVERSITY. Payment of this fee
is subject to Section 4.3, Section 7.1 and Paragraph 10.1 herein.

 

 

    	11

    	 

    

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 five
(5) years following a given reporting period.

 

(b)          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 or other compliance issues. 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-month (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-month (12-month) period, LICENSEE shall pay
the difference within thirty (30) days without interest charge or inspection cost.

 

(c)    UNIVERSITY may
provide the UOS with all financial information obtained from LICENSEE under Paragraph 4.2 hereof to the extent required under the
IIA, and if such information is provided to the UOS, UNIVERSITY will require that the UOS not disclose it to third parties.

 

4.3          Payments.

 

(a)          All
fees, reimbursements 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's taxpayer identification number, 95-6006144, and
sent to UNIVERSITY according to Paragraph 10.1 (Correspondence). 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.

 

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

 

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

(ii)         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.

 

(iii)        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's 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.

 

(iv)        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 funds for as long as the legal restrictions apply.

 

(v)         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.

 

(vi)        Royalty
payments under Article 3, recoveries and settlements under Article 5, and royalty reports under 4.1(b) shall be rendered for any
and all Licensed Products even if due after expiration of the Agreement. If no applicable Patent Rights existed in the Territory
at the time of any making, use, sale, offer for sale, or import, then no royalty payments or royalty reports shall be due.

 

(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.

ARTICLE 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. For purposes
of clarity, if LICENSEE is not current in reimbursing UNIVERSITY for such patent prosecution costs, UNIVERSITY shall have no obligation
to incur any new Patent Costs under this Agreement or to further prosecute Patent Rights or file any new patents under Patent Rights.
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 jointly to UNIVERSITY and UOS. UNIVERSITY shall in any event control all patent filings and
all patent prosecution decisions and related filings (e.g. responses to office actions) shall be at UNIVERSITY's final discretion
(prosecution includes, but is not limited to, interferences, oppositions and any other inter parses matters originating
in a patent office).

 

(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 or Anticipated 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.
UNIVERSITY is not obligated at any time to file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights in a country, where, for that country's patent
application LICENSEE is not paying Patent Costs, or to file, prosecute, or maintain Patent Rights to which LICENSEE has terminated
its license hereunder.

 

5.2          Patent
Infringement.

 

(a)          In
the event that UNIVERSITY (to the extent of the actual knowledge of the licensing professional responsible for the administration
of this Agreement) or LICENSEE learns of infringement of potential commercial significance of any patent licensed under this Agreement,
the knowledgeable party will provide the other (i) with written notice of such infringement and (ii) with any evidence of such
infringement available to it (the "Infringement Notice"). During the period in which, and in the jurisdiction where,
LICENSEE has exclusive rights under this Agreement, neither UNIVERSITY nor LICENSEE will notify a third party (including the infringer)
of infringement or put such third party on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights without first obtaining consent of the
other. If LICENSEE notifies a third party of infringement or puts such third party on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights
with respect to such infringement without first obtaining the written consent of UNIVERSITY and UNIVERSITY is sued in declaratory
judgment, UNIVERSITY shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately without the obligation to provide sixty (60)
days' notice as set forth in Paragraph 7.1. UNIVERSITY and LICENSEE will use their diligent efforts to cooperate with each other
to terminate such infringement without litigation.

 

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

(b)          During
the period in which, and in the jurisdiction where, LICENSEE has exclusive rights under this Agreement, if infringing activity
of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated within ninety (90) days following the date the Infringement
Notice takes effect, LICENSEE may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. UNIVERSITY and/or UOS may voluntarily
join such suit at its own expense, but may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that
are the subject of LICENSEE's suit or any judgment rendered in that suit. LICENSEE may not join UNIVERSITY in a suit initiated
by LICENSEE without UNIVERSITY'S prior written consent. LICENSEE may not join UOS in a suit initiated by LICENSEE without UOS'S
prior written consent. If, in a suit initiated by LICENSEE, UNIVERSITY and/or UOS is involuntarily joined other than by LICENSEE,
LICENSEE will pay any costs incurred by UNIVERSITY and UOS arising out of such suit, including but not limited to, any legal fees
of counsel that UNIVERSITY or UOS selects and retains to represent it in the suit,

 

(c)          If,
within a hundred and twenty (12U) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, infringing activity of potential
commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated and if LICENSEE has not brought suit against the infringer, UNIVERSITY
or the UOS may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. If UNIVERSITY institutes such suit, LICENSEE may not
join such suit without UNIVERSITY'S consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement
that are the subject of UNIVERSITY'S suit or any judgment rendered in that suit. If UOS institutes such suit, LICENSEE may not
join such suit without UOS's consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that
are the subject of UOS's suit or any judgment rendered in that suit.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the infringement or potential infringement pertains to an
issued patent included within the Patent Rights and written notice is given under any statute expediting litigation (e.g. the Drug
Price Competition and Patent Tenn Restoration Act of 1984 and/or foreign counterparts of this Law) ("Act"), then the
party in receipt of such notice under the Act (in the case of UNIVERSITY to the extent of the actual knowledge of the licensing
officer responsible for the administration of this Agreement) shall provide the Infringement Notice to the other party promptly.
If the time period is such that the LICENSEE will lose the right to pursue legal remedy for infringement by not notifying a third
party or by not filing suit, the notification period and the time period to file suit will be accelerated to within forty-five
(45) days of the date of such notice under the Act to either party.

 

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

(e)          Any
recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be shared by UNIVERSITY, UOS, and LICENSEE equally to cover
the litigation costs each incurred, and next shall be paid to UNIVERSITY, UOS, or LICENSEE to cover any litigation costs it incurred
in excess of the litigation costs of the other. In any suit initiated by LICENSEE, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will
be shared between LICENSEE and UNIVERSITY as follows: (i) for any recovery other than amounts paid for willful infringement: (A)
UNIVERSITY will receive fifteen percent (15%) of the recovery if UNIVERSITY was not a party in the litigation and did not incur
any litigation costs; (B) UNIVERSITY will receive twenty-five percent (25%) of the recovery if UNIVERSITY was a party in the litigation,
but did not incur any litigation costs, including the provisions of Paragraph 5.2(b) above, or (C) UNIVERSITY will receive fifty
percent (50%) of the recovery if UNIVERSITY incurred any litigation costs in connection with the litigation; and (ii) for any recovery
for willful infringement, UNIVERSITY will receive fifty percent (50%) of the recovery. In any suit initiated by UNIVERSITY, any
recovery in excess of litigation costs will belong to UNIVERSITY. In any suit any recovery in excess of litigation costs for UOS
will be in accordance with the IIA. UNIVERSITY, UOS, and LICENSEE agree to be bound by all determinations of patent infringement,
validity, and enforceability (but no other issue) resolved by any adjudicated judgment in a suit brought in compliance with this
Section 5.2.

 

(f)          Any
agreement made by LICENSEE for purposes of settling litigation or other dispute shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.2
(Sublicenses) of this Agreement

 

(g)          Each
party will cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the party who initiated
the suit (unless such suit is being jointly prosecuted by the parties).

 

(h)          Any
litigation proceedings will be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except that UNIVERSITY and UOS may be represented by
counsel of its choice in any suit brought by LICENSEE.

 

5.3          Patent
Marking. LICENSEE shall mark all Licensed Products made, used or sold under the terms of this Agreement, or their containers,
in accordance with the applicable patent marking laws. LICENSEE shall be responsible for all monetary and legal liabilities arising
from or caused by (i) failure to abide by applicable patent marking laws and (ii) any type of incorrect or improper patent marking.

 

ARTICLE 6. GOVERNMENTAL MATTERS

 

6.1          Governmental
Approval or Registration. If this Agreement or any associated transaction is required by the law of any nation to be either
approved or registered with any governmental agency, LICENSEE shall 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 filings and pay all costs including fees, penalties, and all other out-of-pocket costs associated
with such reporting or approval process.

 

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

6.2          Export
Control Laws. LICENSEE shall observe all applicable United States and foreign laws with respect to the transfer of Licensed
Products and related technical data to foreign countries, including, without limitation, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations
and the Export Administration Regulations.

 

ARTICLE 7. TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE
AGREEMENT

 

7.1          Termination
by UNIVERSITY.

 

(a)          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 sixty (60) 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 on the effective date of that notice.
Termination shall not relieve LICENSEE of its obligation to pay any fees owed at the time of termination and shall not impair any
accrued right of UNIVERSITY. During the term of any such Notice of Default or period to cure, to the extent the default at issue
is a failure to pay past or ongoing Patent Costs as provided for under this Agreement, UNIVERSITY shall have no obligation to incur
any new Patent Costs under this Agreement and shall have no obligation to further prosecute Patent Rights or file any new patents
under Patent Rights.

 

(b)          This
Agreement will terminate immediately, without the obligation to provide sixty (60) days' notice as set forth in Paragraph 7.1(a),
if LICENSEE files a claim including in any way the assertion that any portion of UNIVERSITY's Patent Rights is invalid or unenforceable
where the filing is by the LICENSEE, a third party on behalf of the LICENSEE, or a third party at the written urging of the LICENSEE.

 

(c)          This
Agreement shall automatically terminate without the obligation to provide sixty (60) days' notice as set forth in Paragraph 7.1(a)
upon the filing of a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code by or against the LICENSEE as a debtor or alleged
debtor.

 

7.2 Termination by LICENSEE.

 

(a)          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.

    	17

    	 

    

 

(b)          Any
termination under Paragraph 7.2(a) shall not relieve LICENSEE of any obligation 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 UNIVERSITY arising under this Agreement prior to termination.

 

7.3          Survival
