3. CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT TERMS

The parties hereto understand that the fees and royalties payable by Licensee to Foundation under this Agreement are partial consideration for the license granted under this Agreement. Licensee will pay Foundation:

	3.1.	Upfront Fee. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, Licensee will pay to Foundation an upfront, nonrefundable, non-creditable payment of [***]

	3.2.	Importance of Technical Information and Material. Licensee has requested, and Foundation has agreed, to grant certain rights to Technical Information and Materials. Licensee requires these rights in order to develop and commercialize the technology licensed hereunder. Because of the importance of Technical Information and Materials, Licensee has agreed to pay certain Royalties to Foundation on Other Products, as specified below, even if it is not Covered By Patent Rights, in order to obtain rights to Technical Information and Materials. Licensee has agreed to these payments because of the commercial value of Technical Information and Materials, separate and distinct from the commercial value of the Patents Rights. Licensee acknowledges that it would not have entered into this Agreement without receiving the rights to the Technical Information and Materials specified in Section 2. Licensee further acknowledges that licenses to Technical Information, Materials, and each patent and application within the definition of Patent Rights were separately available from a license to the Patent Rights, and that for convenience and because of the preference of Licensee, the parties executed this combined license to the Patent Rights, Technical Information, and Materials.

	3.3.	Royalties on Net Sales (“Royalties”).

	(a)	With respect to sales of Patent Products by Licensee, Affiliates, or Sublicensees, in the Territory, Licensee shall pay [***] of Net Sales generated from Patent Products.

	(b)	With respect to sales of Other Products by Licensee, Affiliates, or Sublicensees in the Territory, Licensee shall pay [***] of Net Sales generated from Other Products.

	(c)	If a Product is covered by both the definition of Patent Product and Other Product, Foundation shall be entitled to the Patent Product royalty rate on the Product. Foundation shall not be entitled to more than one royalty payment on the same Product sale under this section. To the extent a Product ceases being a Patent Product, but is still an Other Product, Foundation shall be entitled to the Other Product royalty rate on the Product, but only for such time as such Product is not Covered By Patent Rights. By way of example, but not by way of limitation, if the manufacture of a Product is Covered By the claim of a Patent, and the manufacture of that Product also incorporates Technical Information, Licensee must pay the royalty specified in Section 3.3 (a). If, after some period of time (for example, five years) of paying the royalties specified in Section 3.3(a) for the Net Sales of the Product, the Product ceases to be a Patent Product, Company must continue to pay royalties on the Product pursuant to Section 3.3(b). If at a later time, Product is again Covered By Patent Rights, the royalty specified in Section 3.3(a) shall again apply.

	(d)	On a country-by-country basis, in the event that one or more licenses from a Third Party(ies) are required to make, manufacture, use, sell, import or offer to sell a Product, the Royalties payable to Foundation, as set forth in this Section 3.3 as a result of Net Sales of such Product, may be reduced by [***] of the applicable Royalty due pursuant to Section 3.3.

3.4.

License Maintenance Fee. Licensee will pay to Foundation a, nonrefundable, non-creditable fee (the “License Maintenance Fee”), per year, and payable on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and annually thereafter on each anniversary of the Effective Date according to the following schedule:

First anniversary: $5,000.00

Second anniversary: $10,000.00

Third anniversary: $15,000.00

Fourth anniversary and each subsequent anniversary: $25,000.00;

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, no annual license maintenance fee will be due for any year during which Licensee pays at least fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) to Foundation under one or more sponsored research agreement(s). Licensee’s obligation to pay the foregoing license maintenance fees will end on the first anniversary following the date of Licensee’s first commercial Royalty-generating sale of a Product.

	3.5.	5. Annual Minimum Royalties on Net Sales. Beginning in the calendar year of First Commercial Sales of the first Product by Licensee, Affiliates, or Sublicensee and due and payable each year on the anniversary of the Effective Date of the Agreement, during the Royalty Term, Licensee shall pay to the Foundation an annual minimum royalty fee of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Annual Minimum Royalty”). The Annual Minimum Royalty will be credited against the total Royalties due and owed for the calendar year in which the Annual Minimum royalty was paid.

	3.6.	Sublicensing Fees. Licensee will pay Foundation a portion of the Sublicensing Revenues (“Sublicensing Fees”) in accordance with the following schedule:

		Prior to [*] [] for the first Product [] After the [] [] for the first Product, but prior to [] [] After the [] [] [] [**]

		Payments shall be made to Foundation within thirty (30) days of receipt by Licensee.

Upon First Commercial Sale based upon FDA or EMA regulatory approval for the first Indication of each active pharmaceutical ingredient that results from the grant of rights in Section 2 to Licensed Subject Matter	$	1,500,000.00
Receiving FDA or EMA approval for the second and each subsequent Indication of each active pharmaceutical ingredient that results from the grant of rights in Section 2 to Licensed Subject Matter	$	1,000,000.00

All invoiced amounts, including, but not limited to, the reimbursement of Patent Costs, will be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the respective invoice date. When Product(s) are sold for currencies other than U.S. Dollars, Royalties will first be determined in such foreign currency and then converted into equivalent U.S. Dollars per the exchange rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the applicable Reporting Period as such foreign currency per U.S. Dollar. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee is solely responsible for bank transfer charges, including but not limited to, wire transfer fees.

	3.9.	Payment Address. All payments for Payments Due will be made payable to “The Research Foundation for The State University of New York” and will be sent to the following address:

	4.3.	Licensee will use diligent efforts to complete the milestones set forth in the Commercialization Plan by the dates specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties understand that the Commercialization Plan is a forecast subject to change due to unforeseen technical development challenges and the actions of government regulatory authorities such as the FDA and DEA.

	4.4.	Licensee acknowledges and agrees that a fundamental purpose of this Agreement is to achieve development and commercialization of the Licensed Subject Matter and Products, and the terms in this Section 4 constitute material terms of this Agreement. If Licensee fails to perform its obligations specified in this Section 4 by the due dates set forth in the Commercialization Plan (as may be extended pursuant to Section 4.3), then Foundation will have the unilateral right and option to: (i) terminate this Agreement; or (ii) modify the terms of the Agreement from an exclusive license to a non-exclusive license. This right to modify the terms, if exercised by Foundation, supersedes the rights granted in Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

Foundation will use reasonable efforts or will have their legal counsel prepare or amend any patent application within Patent Rights to include claims reasonably requested by Licensee to protect the Products contemplated to be sold under this Agreement.

	6.2.	Reimbursement of Patent Costs. Licensee will reimburse Foundation for all Patent Costs incurred, pursuant to Section 6.1, prior to the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date of the Agreement, the accrued patent costs are approximately $170,109.93 which shall be paid to Foundation in three equal installments due on the six (6) month, twelve (12) month and eighteen (18) month anniversaries of the Effective Date of the Agreement.

		Licensee will pay all Patent Costs incurred after the Effective Date within thirty (30) days after its receipt of an invoice for such Patent Costs.

	6.3.	Invoicing. For all Patent Costs, Foundation may, at its option: (i) invoice Licensee directly; or (ii) have the law firm or other entity providing the patent-related services to send a copy of each Patent Cost invoice to Licensee for direct payment by Licensee of such Patent Cost expenses.

	6.4.	If Licensee decides to discontinue its support of Patent Costs for a specific Licensed Patent(s) or for a particular issued patent or pending patent application claiming priority to a Licensed Patent (“Discontinued Patent Rights”), Licensee will notify Foundation in writing sixty (60) days prior to any such discontinuation. Licensee will be responsible for reimbursing Foundation for any Patent Costs associated with such Discontinued Patent Rights that Licensee incurred up to sixty (60) days after the date of the receipt of such notice, whether or not such costs were invoiced to and/or paid by Licensee. Upon such discontinuation, Foundation, at its sole discretion, will have the rights to: (i) abandon the Discontinued Patent Rights and any related applications; (ii) exclude the Discontinued Patent Rights, and any related applications (including any application that claims priority to the patent application within the Discontinued Patent Rights or any patent application from which the patent application within the Discontinued Patent Rights may claim priority), from any license granted under this Agreement; (iii) grant only a non-exclusive license to the Discontinued Patent Rights, and any related applications (iv) convert any exclusive license granted under this Agreement to the patent application within the Discontinued Patent Rights, and any related applications, to a non-exclusive license.

8. ENFORCEMENT OF PATENT RIGHTS

8.1. Foundation and Licensee will promptly inform the other in writing of any actual, alleged, or suspected infringement or violation of any Patent Right by a third party, of which it is aware, and provide available evidence of infringement (“Infringement Notice”). During the period of sixty (60) days following the date of Infringement Notice, neither Foundation 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.

8.2. With respect to any Patent Rights licensed exclusively by Foundation to Licensee under this Agreement, Licensee shall have, for an initial period of one hundred twenty (120) days following Infringement Notice under the provisions of Section 8.1, and only with Foundation’s prior, written authorization, the first right, but not the obligation, to institute and control the prosecution of a suit or to take any other action to abate infringement of the Patent Rights. Licensee will inform Foundation of its intent to institute such action, in writing, and Foundation will have fifteen (15) days to authorize such action by Licensee, in writing. Such authority to institute action shall not be unreasonably withheld. For clarity, if Foundation does not provide a written authorization within the fifteen (15) day period, Licensee will not be authorized to institute such action. In the event, [***] During the fifteen day period, Foundation may also notify Licensee that Foundation will join Licensee, at its own expense, in such action under the provisions of Section 8.4 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. In the event that Licensee requests, in writing, that Foundation joins a suit to enforce the Licensed Patents, Foundation shall promptly join such suit, at Licensee’s expense.

8.3. Subsequent to Licensee’s initial one hundred and twenty (120) day period, solely if Foundation provided a written authorization for Licensee to institute an infringement action and Licensee did not institute such infringement action or has not otherwise abated the subject third party infringement, Foundation shall have the right, but not the obligation, to institute and control the prosecution of a suit or to take any other action for infringement of any of the Patent Rights. If Foundation decides to initiate a lawsuit to enforce Patent Rights pursuant to this Section 8.3, Foundation will notify Licensee in writing. Licensee will have fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice to notify Foundation that Licensee will join Foundation in such lawsuit under the provisions of Section 8.4. If Licensee does not timely notify Foundation that it will be joining in such lawsuit, then it will be deemed that Licensee has assigned to Foundation all rights, causes of action, and damages resulting from any alleged infringement.

	8.4.	Foundation and Licensee may agree to enforce patent rights jointly, including by filing a lawsuit jointly. If a lawsuit is brought jointly in the names of both parties, then the out-of-pocket costs shall be borne equally, and any recovery or settlement shall be shared equally. Foundation and Licensee shall agree to the manner in which they shall exercise control over such lawsuit. Each party may, at its own option and expense, be represented by separate counsel of its own selection.

	8.5.	If any suit is brought involving the enforcement or defense of the Patent Rights, the other party hereto agrees, at the request and expense of the party initiating such suit, to reasonably cooperate and to make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens and the like.

	8.6.	No settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of an enforcement or defense suit initiated by either party to this Agreement may be entered into without the consent of Foundation, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

	8.7.	In the event that an action alleging invalidity or noninfringement of the Patent Rights is brought against Licensee, Foundation reserves the right, within thirty (30) days after commencement of such action, to intervene and take over the sole defense of the action at its own expense.

	8.8.	The total cost of any action commenced or defended solely by Foundation will be borne by Foundation and Foundation will keep any recovery or damages derived therefrom.

	8.9.	The cost of any infringement action commenced or defended by Licensee will be borne by Licensee. Any recovery or damages resulting from such an action will first be applied to Licensee’s out-of-pocket expenses and legal fees, and second will be applied to Foundation’s out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees. Any excess recovery or damages (a) to the extent such excess recovery or damages represent a direct damages awards for actual lost sales of Products in a jurisdiction where Licensee, its Affiliate or Sublicensee is actually selling Products during the period of infringement subject of such infringement action, will be considered Net Sales, subject to payment of Royalties in the amount of [*] of such amount under the Section 3.3(a), and (b) otherwise will be considered [*] to Foundation as Sublicensing Fees as set forth in Section 3.6.

9. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

9.1. Indemnification.

(a) Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Foundation, and its trustees, officers, staff, employees, students, and agents and their respective successors, heirs, and assigns, and Stony Brook University, and its trustees, officers, staff, employees, students, and agents and their respective successors, heirs, and assigns, (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnified Parties or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands, or judgments of third parties, Affiliates, and Sublicensees: (i) arising out of the design, production, manufacture, sale, use in commerce or in human clinical trials, or promotion by Licensee, an Affiliate or by an agent of Licensee or Affiliate or Sublicensee of Licensee of any Product, process or service relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement; or (ii) arising out of any other activities to be carried out by or on behalf of Licensee pursuant to this Agreement provided that the liability, damage or loss is not attributable to the negligent activities of such Indemnified Party.

(b) Licensee agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to Foundation to defend against any actions brought or filed against any Indemnified Parties with respect to the subject of indemnity to which such Indemnified Parties are entitled hereunder, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought. Foundation will cooperate in the defense thereof, provided, however, that Foundation will have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense, at its expense, of any such actions. Foundation and the Indemnified Parties may, at their option and expense, have their own counsel participate in any proceeding which is under direction of Licensee and will cooperate with Licensee and its insurer in the disposition of any such matter; provided, however, that if Licensee shall not defend such actions, Foundation and the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to defend such actions themselves and recover from Licensee all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by it during the course of such defense.

(c) Neither Foundation, the Indemnified Parties, nor Licensee shall enter into, or permit, any settlement of any such actions without the express written consent of the other parties, which shall not unreasonably be withheld.

	9.2.	Security for Indemnification.

	(a)	At such time as any Product, process, or service relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement, is commercially distributed or sold, or tested in clinical trials by or on behalf of Licensee, including by its Affiliates or Sublicensees, Licensee shall at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain policies of comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts not less than (i) $5,000,000 per incident and $5,000,000 annual aggregate during the period that such Product, process, or service is being tested in clinical trials prior to commercial sale, and (ii) $5,000,000 per incident and $5,000,000 annual aggregate during the period that such Product, process, or service is being commercially distributed or sold, and in each case naming the Indemnified Parties as additional insured. Such comprehensive general liability insurance shall provide: (i) product liability coverage; and (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for Licensee’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.1 of this Agreement. If Licensee elects to self-insure all or part of the limits described above (including deductibles or retentions which are in excess of $250,000 annual aggregate) such self-insurance program shall include assets or reserves which have been actuarially determined for the liabilities associated with this Agreement and must be acceptable to Foundation.

	(b)	The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under this Section 9.2 shall not be construed to create a limit of Licensee’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under Section 9.1 of this Agreement.

	(c)	Licensee shall provide Foundation with written evidence of such insurance upon request of Foundation. Licensee shall provide Foundation with written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal, or material change in such insurance; if Licensee does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage by the end of such sixty (60) day period, Foundation shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement period without notice or any additional waiting periods.

	(d)	Licensee shall maintain such comprehensive general liability insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement during: (i) the period that any Product(s), process, or service, relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement is being commercially distributed or sold or tested in clinical trials by or for Licensee, Affiliates or Sublicensee(s) or used by an end-user or consumer of Product; and (ii) a reasonable period after the period referred to in (i) above which in no event shall be less than fifteen (15) years.

10. TERMINATION

10.1. Termination for Licensee Breach.

(a) Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensee’s obligations under the following provisions are material terms of this Agreement, and Licensee’s failure to meet its obligations under these provisions will be treated as a material breach of this Agreement (“Material Obligations”): (i) obligations under Section 3 to make Payments Due to Foundation on the schedule set forth therein; (ii) obligations under Section 4 to diligently pursue and achieve commercialization activities; (iii) obligations under Section 6 related to patent prosecution and payment of patent costs; and (iv) obligations under Section 9 related to indemnification and insurance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cure period for any payment default shall not exceed thirty (30) days and shall not be subject to the preceding sentence.

	10.4.	Accrued Obligations. Termination of this Agreement will not relieve Licensee, Affiliates, Sublicensees, and Foundation 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 Foundation hereunder prior to the time such termination becomes effective. Licensee will pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Foundation in enforcing any obligation of Licensee or accrued right of Foundation.

	10.5.	Disposition of Products. Upon termination of this Agreement by Licensee or Foundation, pursuant to Section 10.1, 10.2, or 10.3, Licensee will provide Foundation with a written inventory of all Products in process of manufacture, in use, or in stock.

Description of Affiliates

1.	DEFINITIONS

	All capitalized terms used in this Agreement will have the meanings stated below or defined elsewhere in the Agreement.

3.	CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT TERMS

	The parties hereto understand that the fees and royalties payable by Licensee to Foundation under this Agreement are partial consideration for the license granted under this Agreement. Licensee will pay Foundation:

	8.1.	Foundation and Licensee will promptly inform the other in writing of any actual, alleged, or suspected infringement or violation of any Patent Right by a third party, of which it is aware, and provide available evidence of infringement (“Infringement Notice”). During the period of sixty (60) days following the date of Infringement Notice, neither Foundation 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.

	8.2.	With respect to any Patent Rights licensed exclusively by Foundation to Licensee under this Agreement, Licensee shall have, for an initial period of one hundred twenty (120) days following Infringement Notice under the provisions of Section 8.1, and only with Foundation’s prior, written authorization, the first right, but not the obligation, to institute and control the prosecution of a suit or to take any other action to abate infringement of the Patent Rights. Licensee will inform Foundation of its intent to institute such action, in writing, and Foundation will have fifteen (15) days to authorize such action by Licensee, in writing. Such authority to institute action shall not be unreasonably withheld. For clarity, if Foundation does not provide a written authorization within the fifteen (15) day period, Licensee will not be authorized to institute such action. In the event, [***] During the fifteen day period, Foundation may also notify Licensee that Foundation will join Licensee, at its own expense, in such action under the provisions of Section 8.4 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. In the event that Licensee requests, in writing, that Foundation joins a suit to enforce the Licensed Patents, Foundation shall promptly join such suit, at Licensee’s expense.

	8.3.	Subsequent to Licensee’s initial one hundred and twenty (120) day period, solely if Foundation provided a written authorization for Licensee to institute an infringement action and Licensee did not institute such infringement action or has not otherwise abated the subject third party infringement, Foundation shall have the right, but not the obligation, to institute and control the prosecution of a suit or to take any other action for infringement of any of the Patent Rights. If Foundation decides to initiate a lawsuit to enforce Patent Rights pursuant to this Section 8.3, Foundation will notify Licensee in writing. Licensee will have fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice to notify Foundation that Licensee will join Foundation in such lawsuit under the provisions of Section 8.4. If Licensee does not timely notify Foundation that it will be joining in such lawsuit, then it will be deemed that Licensee has assigned to Foundation all rights, causes of action, and damages resulting from any alleged infringement.

	(a)	Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Foundation, and its trustees, officers, staff, employees, students, and agents and their respective successors, heirs, and assigns, and Stony Brook University, and its trustees, officers, staff, employees, students, and agents and their respective successors, heirs, and assigns, (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnified Parties or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands, or judgments of third parties, Affiliates, and Sublicensees: (i) arising out of the design, production, manufacture, sale, use in commerce or in human clinical trials, or promotion by Licensee, an Affiliate or by an agent of Licensee or Affiliate or Sublicensee of Licensee of any Product, process or service relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement; or (ii) arising out of any other activities to be carried out by or on behalf of Licensee pursuant to this Agreement provided that the liability, damage or loss is not attributable to the negligent activities of such Indemnified Party.

	(b)	Licensee agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to Foundation to defend against any actions brought or filed against any Indemnified Parties with respect to the subject of indemnity to which such Indemnified Parties are entitled hereunder, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought. Foundation will cooperate in the defense thereof, provided, however, that Foundation will have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense, at its expense, of any such actions. Foundation and the Indemnified Parties may, at their option and expense, have their own counsel participate in any proceeding which is under direction of Licensee and will cooperate with Licensee and its insurer in the disposition of any such matter; provided, however, that if Licensee shall not defend such actions, Foundation and the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to defend such actions themselves and recover from Licensee all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by it during the course of such defense.

	(c)	Neither Foundation, the Indemnified Parties, nor Licensee shall enter into, or permit, any settlement of any such actions without the express written consent of the other parties, which shall not unreasonably be withheld.

	(a)	Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensee’s obligations under the following provisions are material terms of this Agreement, and Licensee’s failure to meet its obligations under these provisions will be treated as a material breach of this Agreement (“Material Obligations”): (i) obligations under Section 3 to make Payments Due to Foundation on the schedule set forth therein; (ii) obligations under Section 4 to diligently pursue and achieve commercialization activities; (iii) obligations under Section 6 related to patent prosecution and payment of patent costs; and (iv) obligations under Section 9 related to indemnification and insurance.

	(b)	If Licensee should: (i) fail to perform any covenant, condition, or undertaking of the Material Obligations of this Agreement; or (ii) materially breach any other provision of this Agreement; then Foundation may give written notice of such default to Licensee. If Licensee should fail to cure such default within ninety (90) days of notice of such default and provide adequate assurance of future performance, then this Agreement may, at Foundation’s option, be immediately terminated upon receipt of written notice by Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cure period for any payment default shall not exceed thirty (30) days and shall not be subject to the preceding sentence. The date of receipt of any notice under this Section shall be governed by Section 18.5.

	10.2.	Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall immediately terminate without any further action by the Foundation if Licensee: (i) ceases to attempt to carry on its business with respect to the rights granted in the Agreement; (ii) becomes insolvent; or (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or (iii) challenges, whether as a claim, cross-claim, counterclaim or defense, the validity or enforceability of any of the Patent Rights before any court, arbitrator, or other tribunal or administrative agency in any jurisdiction; then this Agreement will immediately terminate without any further action by Foundation.

	10.3.	Licensee’s Right To Terminate. Licensee may notify Foundation of their desire to terminate this Agreement at any time by giving Foundation sixty (60) days prior written notice. The termination will take effect the day after the sixtieth (60^th) day has elapsed.

	11.1.	FOUNDATION WARRANTS TO LICENSEE THAT IT HAS THE LAWFUL RIGHT TO GRANT TO LICENSEE THE LICENSES UNDER THE LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER AS SET FORTH HEREIN. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, FOUNDATION MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND VALIDITY OF PATENT RIGHTS AND/OR TECHNICAL INFORMATION; AND ALL RIGHTS TO PATENT RIGHTS, TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND ANY MATERIALS PROVIDED BY FOUNDATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS”. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER IS WITH THE LICENSEE.

	11.2.	NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION IS MADE THAT ANYTHING MADE, USED, SOLD, OR COMMERCIALLY TRANSFERRED, UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE, WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

	11.3.	NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OBLIGATES FOUNDATION EITHER TO BRING OR TO PROSECUTE ACTIONS OR SUITS AGAINST THIRD PARTIES FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT OR ENFORCEMENT OR TO FURNISH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INFORMATION OR MATERIALS NOT PROVIDED IN THE LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER.

	11.4.	IN NO EVENT WILL FOUNDATION BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE EXERCISE OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER, OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, INVENTORY LOSS, WORK STOPPAGE, LOST DATA, OR DOWNTIME, WHETHER OR NOT FOUNDATION HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

	11.5.	IN NO EVENT WILL FOUNDATION’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO LICENSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, INJURIES, SUITS, DEMANDS, JUDGMENTS, LIABILITIES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES, FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT), AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR LEGAL THEORY, EXCEED THE FEES RECEIVED BY FOUNDATION FROM LICENSEE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 10.7 WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

	11.6.	THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CONFER BY IMPLICATION, ESTOPPEL, OR OTHERWISE ANY LICENSE OR RIGHTS TO ANY OTHER FOUNDATION PROPERTY OTHER THAN THOSE RIGHTS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN.

	12.1.	No part of this Agreement and the license granted hereunder may be assigned or transferred by Licensee without Foundation’s written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to a successor in interest pursuant to a transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its business relating to this Agreement, or in the event of its merger, consolidation, change in control or similar transaction. In no event shall any assignment or transfer relieve Licensee of its primary responsibility for obligations in this Agreement until assignee or transferee and delivers a fully executed written agreement assuming and undertaking all of the duties and obligations of the Licensee under this Agreement. Any assignment made in violation of this Section will be void.

13.	OBLIGATIONS TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND OTHER SPONSORS

	13.1.	The Agreement will be subject to the rights of the United States Government, if any, resulting from any funding of the Licensed Subject Matter by the United States Government. This Agreement will also be subject to the rights of any other entities that may have contributed funding to development of the Licensed Subject Matter, if any. Licensee acknowledges that such rights, if applicable to Licensed Subject Matter, may reserve to the United States Government, a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to practice or have practiced on its behalf any government-funded invention claimed within any associated patents or patent applications as well as other rights.

	13.2.	Licensee agrees that to the extent required under 35 U.S.C. Section 204, any Product used, sold, or distributed by Licensee, Affiliates and Sublicensees, and in the United States will be manufactured substantially in the United States unless a waiver under 35 U.S.C. Section 204 is granted by the appropriate United States government agency.
