If Licensor fails to provide Licensee with written notice within 15 business days of receipt of a request from a third party the provisions provided below will not apply.

	
  

	
I.

	
In the event neither Licensee nor any Affiliate or Sublicensee is then developing or commercializing or has plans to develop or commercialize a Licensed Product or Licensed Service for use or sale in the same general industry as proposed by the Prospective Licensee for the Proposed Product, as identified in a report provided to Licensor hereunder, then within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice by Licensee from Licensor that it desires Licensee  to negotiate with the Prospective Licensee for the purpose of granting a sublicense under the Technology Rights to develop and commercialize the Proposed Product within the relevant portion of the Field of Use, Licensee shall elect one of the following options:

Provide Licensor with written notice that Licensee, an Affiliate or Sublicensee has plans to or will develop plans to  initiate commercially reasonable efforts to develop or commercialize a Licensed Product or Licensed Service for use or sale in the same general industry that would commercially compete with the Proposed Product; or

	
  

	
c.

	
Begin good faith negotiations with the Prospective Licensee to sublicense Licensee’s rights in the Technology Rights to the extent necessary for such Prospective Licensee to develop, make, use, sell, distribute, use, and as applicable reproduce, prepare derivatives of, publicly perform, or publicly display such Proposed Product or other Licensed Product in the relevant portion of the Field of Use; or

	
  

	
d.

e.

	
Provide Licensor with written notice demonstrating to Licensor’s reasonable satisfaction that the development or commercialization of such Proposed Product would have a reasonable likelihood of materially and adversely affecting the development or commercialization of any Licensed Product or Licensed Service then being developed or commercialized by Licensee, an Affiliate or Sublicensee.

  

3

  

 

	
  

	
II.

	
If Licensee elects to negotiate with a Prospective Licensee for a sublicense to develop, make, use, sell, distribute, and as applicable reproduce, prepare derivatives of, publicly perform, or publicly display a Proposed Product (or other Licensed Product) as provided for in Section I.(c)., Licensee shall make a good faith effort to complete negotiations with the Prospective Licensee within six (6) months from the date on which it begins negotiations.  Upon Licensor’s written approval, this six (6) month period shall be extended to the extent Licensee reasonably demonstrates that such extension is reasonable in view of the circumstances.

a.

	
Reasonable financial terms taking into account the field in which the sublicense is being offered and Licensee’s obligations to Licensor pursuant to this Agreement;

	
  

	
b.

	
Commercially reasonable minimum performance requirements;

	
  

	
c.

	
Non-financial terms which are commercially reasonable;

Meet with Licensor representatives and provide documentation of reasons that (A) Licensee and or the Prospective Licensee chose not to proceed with good faith negotiations, or (B) negotiations between Licensee and such Prospective Licensee failed.

	
  

	
IV.

V.

	
The Licensor and Licensee agree that the dispute resolution terms in the original license agreement will apply to this amendment.

  

4

Licensee shall keep, and cause its Sublicensees and Affiliates to keep, complete, true and accurate records and books containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of showing the amounts payable to Licensor hereunder.  Records and books shall be kept at Licensee’s principle place of business or the principal place of business of the appropriate division of Licensee to which this Agreement relates.

9.4           Audit. Said books and the supporting data shall be open at all reasonable times for five (5) years following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain, to inspection by Licensor or its agents, upon reasonable prior notice to Licensee, for the purpose of verifying Licensee’s royalty statement or compliance in other respects with this Agreement.  Such access will be available to Licensor upon not less than ten (10) days written notice to Licensee, not more than once each calendar year of the Term, during normal business hours, and once a year for three years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10.  PATENT PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE

 

10.1          Future Patent Expenses. Presently, a third party has acquired rights to a separate and distinct field of use and is committed to  pay two thirds (2/3) of the patent costs for the Patent Rights licensed under this Agreement. For the duration of the third party rights, or prior to termination thereof, Licensee will pay for costs forward after the Effective Date, one third of all expenses for filing, prosecuting, enforcing, and maintaining the Patent Rights that are licensed to Licensee, including without limitation, any taxes on such Patent Rights within thirty (30) days of invoice. In the event that subsequent license agreements for separate and distinct fields of use are entered into by Licensor and the prior licensee is still in effect, Licensee and subsequent licensee’s shall pay equal shares of the remaining one third (1/3) portion of patent costs. In the event that this prior license fails to continue, Licensee and any subsequent licensee’s will equally be responsible for all of patent costs relating to Patent Rights.

10.2         Failure to Pay Patent Expenses. In the event that Licensee fails to pay any patent expenses required under this Agreement within sixty (60) days of receipt of notification that such expenses are due, Licensee will be required within the following thirty (30) days to establish with a leading and first class bank subject to approval by Licensor, an irrevocable and, if so requested by Licensor, confirmed letter of credit (not restricted, unless otherwise agreed upon) in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in favor of Licensor available immediately to secure the payment of patent expenses due under this Agreement. Licensor may draw upon such letter of credit upon presentation of the letter notifying Licensee of patent expenses due and payable and a statement from Licensor of Licensee’s failure to pay. In the event that Licensee does not establish such letter of credit within such thirty (30) day period, Licensor may terminate this Agreement. Should Licensee decline or fail to pay the costs and legal fees for the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of any patent or patent application under this Agreement, Licensor may at its discretion, either exclude by written notice the patent or patent application from this Agreement without terminating the agreement in its entirety and Licensee shall have no further rights thereto, or Licensor may terminate this Agreement in full pursuant to Section 12.1. Any exclusion pursuant to this section shall not relieve Licensee of any obligation or liability accrued hereunder prior to such exclusion, or rescind or give rise to any right to rescind any payments made or other consideration given to Licensor hereunder prior to the time such exclusion becomes effective.  Such exclusion shall not affect in any manner any obligation due Licensor by Licensee arising under this Agreement prior to the date of such exclusion.

 

10.3          Patent Counsel. Licensor will work closely with Licensee to develop a suitable strategy for the prosecution and maintenance of all Licensed Patents. Licensor will provide copies of  documents prepared by patent counsel to Licensee for review and comment prior to filing to the extent practicable under the circumstances. Licensee will be billed and will pay all documented costs and fees and other charges incident to the preparation, prosecution, and maintenance of the Licensed Patents within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice from the selected patent attorney. All patent applications and patents will be in the name of Licensor, owned by Licensor and included as part of the Patent Rights licensed pursuant to this Agreement.

13.2          Obligations After Termination. Any termination pursuant to Section 13.1 shall not relieve Licensee of any obligation or liability accrued hereunder prior to such termination, or rescind or give rise to any right to rescind any payments made or other consideration given to Licensor hereunder prior to the time such termination becomes effective.  Such termination shall not affect in any manner any rights of Licensor arising under this Agreement prior to the date of such termination.

 

ARTICLE 14.  DISPOSITION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS ON HAND

 

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement by either party, Licensee shall provide Licensor with a written inventory of all Licensed Products in process of manufacture, in use or in stock.

15.3          Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as:

 

  

10

ARTICLE 16.  INFRINGEMENT

 

16.1          Knowledge of Infringement. If either party learns of a claim of infringement of or by any of Licensor’s Patent Rights licensed under this Agreement, that party shall give written notice of such claim to the other party.

Such commercial general liability insurance will provide (i) product liability coverage; (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for Licensee’s indemnification under this Agreement; and (iii) coverage for litigation costs.
