Upon any termination of this Agreement as set forth in Section 19 of this Agreement, the Licensor shall be entitled to exercise its rights under the Collateral Assignment. For clarity, to the extent that the Royalty Fees paid in any calendar year do not meet the minimum Royalty Fees required under this Agreement for such calendar year, Licensee shall pay to Licensee an amount (the "Catch-Up Payment") equal to the difference between the Royalty Fees actually paid during such calendar year (excluding any Catch-Up Payments made during such calendar year in connection with sales of Licensed Products from a prior calendar year) and the minimum Royalty Fees due for such calendar year. All Catch-Up Payments are due not later than (30) days after the end of each calendar year. Upon any failure by Licensee to make any such Catch-Up Payment within thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable calendar year, Licensor shall have the right, in its discretion, to (a) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) terminate the exclusive nature hereof.

 

(b)

Except as otherwise set forth herein, all royalty payments must be paid to the Licensor, in immediately available United States funds, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

(c)

During the Term of this Agreement, the Licensee shall keep accurate books of account and records covering all transactions relating to this Agreement at the Licensee's principal place of business for not less than three (3) years after the expiration, or earlier termination, of this Agreement.

If, as a result of such audit, the Licensor determines that additional royalty payments are due under this Agreement, the Licensee shall have thirty (30) days to make such additional royalty payments to the Licensor. In the event that the Licensee fails to make any such additional payment within such thirty (30) days, the Licensor may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement.

The receipt and deposit of monies by the Licensor shall not prevent or limit the Licensor's right to contest the accuracy and/or correctness of any statement in respect of such monies.

 

(e)

If the Licensee uses any of the confidential information in the development of any intellectual property, such intellectual property shall be the property of Licensor and the Licensee shall execute such documents as may be necessary for the purpose of transferring any rights in which the Licensor has in such intellectual property. The Licensee shall not reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to duplicate any processes used in the development and manufacture of any materials provided by Licensor. Any intellectual property rights developed by a Licensee in violation of this paragraph shall be the property of the Licensor, and Licensee shall execute and deliver to Licensor such documentation as is necessary to evidence Licensor's rights in such intellectual property.
