Licensee: AEMase Inc.	CONFIDENTIAL	Exclusive PLA
The University of Texas at Austin	Page A-3	Agreement No. PM1401601

proprietary product separate from a Licensed Product (a “Combination Licensed Product”), then the Net Product Sales of such Combination Licensed Product in a particular country, for the purposes of determining royalty payments due to Licensor hereunder, shall be determined by multiplying the Net Product Sales of the Combination Licensed Product in such country by the fraction MA-i-B), where A is the weighted average sale price of the Licensed Product without the Other Technologies (the “Basic Licensed Product”) when sold separately in finished form in such country, and B is the weighted average sale price(s) of product(s) including the Other Technologies (such products, “Other Licensed Products”) sold separately in finished form in such country (if there is more than one Other Licensed Product B shall equal the sum of all such Other Licensed Products’ weighted average sale prices in such country).

In the event that, with respect to, any Combination Licensed Product sold in a particular country, the weighted average sale price of the Basic Licensed Product in such country can be determined but the weighted average sale price(s) of the Other Licensed Product(s) in such country cannot be determined, Net Product Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments for such Combination Licensed Product in such country shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Product Sales of the Combination Licensed Product in such country by the fraction A/C where A is the weighted average sale price of the Basic Licensed Product when sold separately in finished form in such country and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Licensed Product in such country.

In the event that, with respect to any Combination Licensed. Product sold in a particular country, the weighted average sale price(s) of the Other Licensed Product(s) in such country can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the Basic Licensed Product cannot be determined, Net Product Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Product Sales of the Combination Licensed Product by the formula one (1) minus (B/C) (which may also be written as 1- (B/C)), where B is the weighted average sale price(s) of the Other Licensed Product(s) when sold separately in finished form in such country and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Licensed Product in such country (if there is more than one Other Licensed Product B shall equal the sum of all, such Other Licensed Products’ weighted average sale prices in such country).

In the event that, with respect to any Combination Licensed Product sold in a particular country, the weighted average sale

price(s) in such country of neither the Basic Licensed Product nor the Other Licensed Product(s) in the Combination Licensed Product can be determined, the Net Product Sales of the Combination Licensed Product shall, for the purposes of determining royalty payments with respect to such Combination Licensed Product, be commercially reasonable and determined by good faith negotiation between Licensee and Licensor consistent with the ratios and related principles referenced above and based on the relative value of the Basic License Product and the Other Licensed Product included in such Combination Licensed Product.


Licensee: AEMase Inc.	CONFIDENTIAL	Exclusive PLA
The University of Texas at Austin	Page A-4	Agreement No. PM1401601

The weighted average sale price for a Basic Licensed Product, Other Licensed Product(s), or Combination Licensed Product in a particular country shall be calculated once for each Calendar Year and such price shall be used during all applicable royalty reporting periods for such Calendar Year When determining the weighted average sale price of a Basic Licensed Product, Other Licensed Product(s), or Combination Licensed Product in a particular country, the weighted average sale price shall be calculated by dividing the sales dollars by the units of Basic Licensed Product, Combination Licensed Product, or Other Licensed Product sold in such country during the twelve (12) months (or the number of months sold in a partial Calendar Year) of that Calendar Year for the respective Basic Licensed Product Other Licensed Product(s), or Combination Licensed Product For each Calendar Year a reasonably forecasted weighted average sale price will be used for the Basic Licensed Product, Other Licensed Product(s), or Combination Licensed Product which forecasted weighted average sale price will be for each Calendar Year other than the initial Calendar Year (or portion thereof) during which the Combination Licensed Product is sold, no less than the weighted average sale price for the Basic Licensed Product, Other Licensed Product(s), or Combination Licensed Product in a particular country calculated for the preceding Calendar Year. Any over or under payment due to a difference between forecasted and actual weighted average sale prices will be paid or credited in the payment due with respect to the following Calendar Year.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the case of discounts on “bundles” of separate products or services which include Licensed Products (such “bundles” including but not limited to (i) contingent arrangements involving drugs that share the same NDC (whether the same or different package sizes), drugs with different NDCs, or drugs and other products or services, (ii) circumstances in which a discount is conditioned on the achievement of some other performance requirement for the Licensed Product or other product or service (e.g. achievement of market share or placement on a formulary tier), or

(iii) otherwise where the resulting price concessions or discounts are greater than those which would have been available had the bundled products or services been purchased separately or outside the bundled arrangement), Licensee may calculate Net Product Sales and royalties due hereunder by applying a discount to the price of a Licensed Product equal to the average percentage discount of all products or services of Licensee, its Affiliate(s), or Sublicensee(s) in a particular “bundle”, calculated as follows:

Average percentage

discount on a + [1 (X/Y)] x 100

particular “bundle”

where X equals the total discounted price of a particular “bundle” of products or services, and Y equals the sum of the undiscounted bona fide list prices of each unit of every product or service in such “bundle”. Licensee shall provide Licensor documentation reasonably supporting such average discount with respect to each “bundle.” If a Licensed Product in a “bundle” is not sold separately, and no bona fide list price exists for such


Licensee: AEMase Inc.	CONFIDENTIAL	Exclusive PLA
The University of Texas at Austin	Page A-5	Agreement No. PM1401601

Licensed Product, Licensee and Licensor shall, for purposes of calculating Net Product Safes and royalties due hereunder, negotiate in good faith a reasonable imputed list price for such Licensed Product and Net Product Sales.
