Any royalty payment required to be made to CeNeS under Paragraph 3.2(e) shall be made in U.S. Dollars on or before January 31st of following the calendar year to which such payment relates.
(b) Royalties shall be payable only once (at the highest -applicable rate) with respect to the same unit of Licensed Product regardless of the number of claims of Patent tights pertaining to same.

In the event CeNeS cannot arrange to have the blocked currency transferred out of the foreign country within twelve (12) months after deposit, CeNeS shall notify Acorda in writing and Acorda shall as soon as possible thereafter cause such royalties (plus earnings thereon during the period of deposit) to be paid to CeNeS in U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange quoted by Citibank, N.A. on the day the blocked currency was deposited in the bank designated by CeNeS. Upon receipt of the payment, CeNeS shall release to Acorda from the bank in the foreign country in question the blocked currency in accordance with Acorda’s instructions.
(e) Acorda, its Sublicensees and Affiliates shall keep and maintain records of sales of Licensed Products for a period of three (3) years after the royalty period to which such records relate. Such records shall be open to inspection upon at least fifteen (15) business days’ prior written notice at any reasonable time during normal business hours not more often than once each calendar quarter by an independent Certified Public Accountant selected by CeNeS, to whom Acorda or, if applicable, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, have no reasonable objection, who shall have the right to examine and make abstracts of the records kept pursuant to this Agreement and report findings of said examination of records to CeNeS insofar as it is necessary to evidence any mistake or impropriety on the part of Acorda. Said independent Certified Public Accountant
11
shall treat as confidential and shall not use or disclose to any third party any information acquired during the course of such examination, except information which shall be made available to CeNeS or Ludwig pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
(f) Acorda’s obligation to pay royalties with respect to Net Sales of Licensed Product in my country shall continue for so long as CeNeS owns or holds exclusive rights to a valid and enforceable issued patent within the Patent Rights covering such Licensed Product in Such country. If Acorda’s obligation to pay royalties is based solely on the practice of the Patent Rights to discover or develop a Non-Protein Product, said obligation shall continue until fifteen (15) years from the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Part 4 - Patent Matters
4.1 Upon execution of this Agreement, Acorda shall assume responsibility and control, at its expense, during the Term for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of any and all patent applications and patents included in Patent Rights. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Acorda shall furnish to CeNeS copies of all material documents pertaining to such preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance, including filings and correspondence with patent authorities, in a timely manner, so as to give CeNeS an opportunity to comment thereon and Acorda shall use good faith efforts to accommodate any such comments.
4.2 Ludwig, CeNeS, and Acorda shall cooperate fully in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patent Rights and of all patents and patent applications licensed to Acorda hereunder, executing all papers and instruments or requiring members of Ludwig and/or CeNeS to execute such papers and instruments so as to enable Acorda to apply for, to prosecute and to maintain patent applications and patents in Ludwig’s name in any country. Each party shall provide to the other prompt notice as to all matters which come to its attention
12
and which may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such patent applications or patents.
4.3 Acorda may elect to surrender its rights under the Patent Rights on a patent-by-patent basis in any country upon sixty (60) days written notice to CeNeS. CeNeS may elect thereafter to continue prosecution and maintenance of such patents at its own expense.
Part 5 - Patent Infringement
5.1 Enforcement by Acorda. If either CeNeS or Acorda becomes aware of a product made, used or sold in the Territory, or any other activities, which it believes infringes a Valid Claim, the party obtaining such knowledge shall promptly advise the other patty of all relevant facts and circumstances pertaining to the potential infringement. Acorda shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to enforce any patent rights against such infringement, at its own expense. CeNeS and Ludwig shall cooperate with Acorda in such effort, at Acorda’s expense, including being joined as a party to such action, if necessary. Any damages or costs recovered in connection with any action filed by Acorda hereunder which exceed Acorda’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses of litigation, shall be deemed to be Net Sales of Protein Products in the fiscal quarter received by Acorda, and royalties shall be payable by Acorda to CeNeS thereon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
5.2 Backup Enforcement Right by CeNeS. If Acorda fails within one hundred twenty (120) days after receiving notice from CeNeS of a potential infringement, or providing CeNeS with notice of such infringement, to either (a) terminate such infringement or (b) institute an action to prevent continuation thereof and, thereafter to prosecute such action diligently, or if Acorda notifies CeNeS that it does not plan to terminate the infringement or institute such action, then CeNeS shall have the right to do so at its own expense; provided however, that CeNeS first
13
consults with Acorda and gives due consideration to Acorda’s reasons for not instituting actions to terminate or otherwise prevent continuation of such infringement. If CeNeS decides to pursue such infringement, Acorda shall cooperate with CeNeS in such effort including being joined as a party to such action if necessary. CeNeS shall be entitled to retain all damages or costs awarded to CeNeS in such action.
5.3 In the event that Acorda, its Affiliate or Sublicensee is sued by a third party charging infringement of a patent resulting from the manufacture, use or sale by Acorda, its Affiliate or Sublicensee of a Licensed Product, Acorda shall promptly notify CeNeS. During the period in which any such suit is pending, Acorda shall have the right to apply up to fifty percent (50%) of the royalties due CeNeS against Acorda’s litigation expenses of any such suit.

10.4 Confidential Nature of the Terms of Agreement.

11.1 Except as required by law, neither CeNeS nor Acorda shall originate any publicity, news release, or other public announcement, written or oral, whether to the public press, to stockholders, or otherwise, relating to this Agreement to any amendment thereto or to performance hereunder or the existence of an arrangement between the parties without the prior written approval of the other party, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that, no such

11.3 Neither party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and except that a party may make such an assignment without the other party’s consent to an Affiliate or to a successor to all, or substantially all, of the business and assets to which this Agreement relates of such party, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction of the division or divisions of Acorda involved in the development and sale of Licensed Products.
