2.2Affiliates

 

Licensee may extend the license granted herein to any Affiliate provided that the Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the Agreement to the same extent as Licensee.  For the sake of clarity, any specific reference to “Licensee” herein shall include such Affiliate regardless of whether a specific reference to an “Affiliate” is made in such provision. Licensee agrees to deliver such written agreement to Licensor within 30 calendar days following execution.

 

2.3Sublicensing

 

Licensee has the right to grant Sublicense Agreements under the Licensed Subject Matter consistent with the terms of the Agreement, subject to the following:

 

(a)A Sublicense Agreement shall not exceed the scope and rights granted to Licensee hereunder. Sublicensee must agree in writing to be bound by the applicable terms and conditions of the Agreement and shall indicate that Licensor is a third party beneficiary of the Sublicense Agreement. In the event of termination of this Agreement, continued sublicense rights shall be governed by Section 7.5(a) (Effect of Termination). Licensee may grant a Sublicensee the right to grant further sub-Sublicense Agreements, in which case such sub-Sublicense Agreements shall be treated as “Sublicense Agreements” and such sub-Sublicensees shall be treated as “Sublicensees” for purposes of the Agreement.

 

(b)Licensee shall deliver to Licensor a true, complete, and correct copy of each Sublicense Agreement granted by Licensee, Affiliate or Sublicensee, and any modification or termination thereof, within 30 days following the applicable execution, modification, or termination of such Sublicense Agreement. If the Sublicense Agreement is not in English, Licensee shall provide Licensor an accurate English translation in addition to a copy of the original agreement.

 

(c)Notwithstanding any such Sublicense Agreement, Licensee will remain primarily liable to Licensor for all of the Licensee’s duties and obligations contained in the Agreement, including without limitation the payment of running royalties due under Section 3.2 whether or not paid to Licensee by a Sublicensee. Any act or omission of a Sublicensee that would be a breach of the Agreement if performed by Licensee will be deemed to be a breach by Licensee. Each Sublicense Agreement will contain a right of termination by Licensee in the event that the Sublicensee breaches the payment or reporting obligations affecting Licensor or any other terms and conditions of the Sublicense Agreement that would constitute a breach of the Agreement if such acts were performed by Licensee.

2.4Diligent Commercialization

 

Licensee by itself or through its Affiliates and Sublicensees will use diligent efforts to make Licensed Products and/or Licensed Services (as applicable) commercially available in the Licensed Field within the Territory. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee will

 

(a)maintain a bona fide, funded, ongoing and active research, development, manufacturing, regulatory, marketing or sales program (all as commercially reasonable) to make Licensed Products and/or Licensed Services commercially available to the public as soon as commercially practicable; and

 

(b)fulfill the milestone events specified in Section 2.4 of the Patent & Technology License Agreement by the deadlines indicated therein.

 

If the obligations under this Section 2.4 are not fulfilled, Licensor may treat such failure as a breach in accordance with Section 7.3(b).

In the event Sublicensee brings an action seeking to invalidate or render unenforceable any Licensed Patent:

 

(a)Sublicensee shall double the payment paid to the Licensee during the pendency of such action. Moreover, should the outcome of such action determine that any claim of a patent challenged by the Sublicensee is both valid and infringed by a Licensed Product, Sublicensee shall pay triple the payment paid under the original Sublicense Agreement;

 

(b)Sublicensee shall have no right to recoup any royalties paid before or during the period of challenge;

 

(c)Sublicensee shall not pay royalties into any escrow or other similar account; and

 

(d)any dispute regarding the validity of any Licensed Patent shall be litigated in the courts located in Bexar County Texas, and the parties agree not to challenge personal jurisdiction in that forum.

5.Payment, Records, and Audits

 

5.1Payments

 

All amounts referred to in the Patent & Technology License Agreement are expressed in U.S. dollars without deductions for taxes, assessments, fees, or charges of any kind. Each payment will reference the agreement number set forth at the beginning of the Patent & Technology License Agreement. All payments to Licensor will be made in U.S. dollars by check or wire transfer (Licensee to pay all wire transfer fees) payable to the payee identified in Section 18 of the Patent & Technology License Agreement and sent to the payment and reporting contact in Section 18 (Notices) of the Patent & Technology License Agreement.

 

5.2Sales Outside the U.S.

 

If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the calculation of payments hereunder, such conversion shall be made using the rate used by Licensee for its financial reporting purposes in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (or foreign equivalent) or, in the absence of such rate, using the average of the buying and selling exchange rate for conversion between the foreign currency and U.S. Dollars, for current transactions as reported in the New York City edition of The Wall Street Journal on the last business days of the Contract Quarter to which such payment pertains. Licensee may not make any tax withholdings from payments to Licensor, but Licensor agrees to supply to Licensee, upon written request, appropriate evidence from appropriate U.S. governmental agencies showing that Licensor is a resident of the United States of America for purposes of the U.S. income tax laws and is tax-exempt under such income tax laws.  

 

5.3Late Payments

 

Amounts that are not paid when due will accrue a late charge from the due date until paid, at a rate equal to 1.0% per month (or the maximum allowed by law, if less).

 

5.4Records

 

For a period of six years after the Contract Quarter to which the records pertain, Licensee agrees that it and its Affiliates and Sublicensees will each keep complete and accurate records of their Sales, Net Product Sales, Net Service Sales, Milestone Fees, and Non-Royalty Sublicensing Consideration in sufficient detail to enable such payments to be determined and audited, including without limitation, general ledgers and sales registers.

 

5.5Auditing

 

Licensee and its Affiliates will permit Licensor or its representatives, at Licensor’s expense, to periodically examine books, ledgers, and records, including without limitation, general ledgers and sales registers, during regular business hours, at Licensee’s or its Affiliate’s place of business, on at least 30 days advance notice, to the extent necessary to verify any payment or report required under the Agreement. For each Sublicensee, Licensee shall obtain such audit rights for Licensor or itself. If Licensee obtains such audit rights for itself, it will promptly conduct an audit of the Sublicensee’s records upon Licensor’s request, and Licensee will furnish to Licensor a copy of the findings from such audit. No more than one audit of Licensee, each Affiliate, and each Sublicensee shall be conducted under this Section 5.5 in any calendar year. If any amounts due Licensor have been underpaid, then Licensee shall immediately pay Licensor the amount of such underpayment plus accrued interest due in accordance with Section 5.3. If the amount of underpayment is equal to or greater than 5% of the total amount due for the records so examined, Licensee will pay the cost of such audit. Such audits may, at Licensor’s sole discretion, consist of a self-audit conducted by Licensee at Licensee’s expense and certified in writing by an authorized officer of Licensee. All information examined pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of the Licensee.

6.Patent Expenses and Prosecution

 

6.1Patent Expenses

 

Licensee shall pay for all past documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Licensor for filing, prosecuting, defending and maintaining Patent Rights and related patent searches through the Effective Date of the Agreement, including those identified in Section 3.1(a) of the Patent & Technology License Agreement, and all such future expenses incurred by Licensor, for so long as, and in such countries as the Agreement remains in effect. Licensee will pay all patent expenses (except for the payment called for under Section 3.1(a)), including past expenses that have not been invoiced as of the date indicated in Section 3.1(a) of the Patent & Technology License Agreement and future expenses, within 30 days after Licensee’s receipt of an invoice. At the election of Licensor, Licensee will either pay Prosecution Counsel directly for patent expenses or will reimburse Licensor for such patent expenses. Patent expense payment delinquencies (whether owed directly to Prosecution Counsel or to Licensor) will be considered a payment default under Section 7.3(a).

 

6.2Direction of Prosecution

 

Licensor will confer with Licensee to develop a strategy for the prosecution and maintenance of Patent Rights. Licensor will request that copies of all documents prepared by the Prosecution Counsel for submission to governmental patent offices be provided to Licensee for review and comment prior to filing, to the extent practicable under the circumstances. At its discretion, Licensor may allow Licensee to instruct Prosecution Counsel directly, provided, that (a) Prosecution Counsel continues to provide copies of all documents to Licensor and allows Licensor opportunity for review and comment prior to filing; (b) Licensor will maintain final authority in all decisions regarding the prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights; (c) Licensor may revoke this authorization to instruct Prosecution Counsel directly at any time; and (d) the Prosecution Counsel remains counsel to the Licensor with an appropriate contract (and shall not jointly represent Licensee unless requested by Licensee and approved by Licensor, and an appropriate engagement letter and conflict waiver are in effect). If Licensee wishes to instruct Prosecution Counsel directly or change Prosecution Counsel, Licensee may request to do so by following the Licensor’s procedures for such. Licensor reserves in its sole discretion the ability to change Prosecution Counsel and to approve or disapprove any requested changes by Licensee. The Parties agree that they share a common legal interest to get valid enforceable patents and that Licensee will maintain as privileged all information received pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted in this Section 6.2 shall remain with Licensee, and shall not extend to any Subsidiary, Sublicensee or Affiliate without prior written consent of University.

 

6.3Ownership

 

All patent applications and patents will be in the name of Licensor (and any co-owner identified in Section 1 of the Patent & Technology License Agreement) and owned by Licensor (and such co-owner, if any). No payments due under the Agreement will be reduced as the result of co-ownership interests in the Patent Rights by Licensee or any other party.

 

6.4Foreign Filings

 

In addition to the U.S., the Patent Rights shall, subject to applicable bar dates, be pursued in such foreign countries as Licensee so designates in writing to Licensor in sufficient time to reasonably enable the preparation of such additional filings, and in those foreign countries in which Licensor has filed applications prior to the Effective Date. If Licensee does not choose to pursue patent rights in a particular foreign country and Licensor chooses to do so, Licensee shall so notify Licensor and thereafter said patent application or patent shall no longer be included in the Patent Rights and Licensee shall have no further rights thereto. Licensor shall have the right to make alternative arrangements with Licensee for upfront payment of foreign patent expenses.

 

6.5Withdrawal from Paying Patent Costs

 

If at any time Licensee wishes to cease paying for any costs for a particular Patent Right or for patent prosecution in a particular jurisdiction, Licensee must give Licensor at least 90 days prior written notice and Licensee will continue to be obligated to pay for the patent costs which reasonably accrue during said notice period. Thereafter, said patent application or patent shall no longer be included in the Patent Rights and Licensee shall have no further rights thereto.

 

6.6U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Entity Size Status

 

Licensee represents that as of the Effective Date the entity size status of Licensee in accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is as set forth in Section 1 of the Patent & Technology License Agreement. Licensee will inform Licensor in writing on a timely basis of any change in its U.S. Patent and Trademark Office entity size status.

Headings are included for convenience only and will not be used to construe the Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that both Parties substantially participated in negotiating the provisions of the Agreement; therefore, both Parties agree that any ambiguity in the Agreement shall not be construed more favorably toward one Party than the other Party, regardless of which Party primarily drafted the Agreement.

Any modification of the Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of both Parties. No modification will be made by email communications.

 

19.7Severability

 

If any provision hereof is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties, and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Parties hereto as nearly as may be possible. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such other provisions in any other jurisdiction, so long as the essential essence of the Agreement remains enforceable.

Nothing in the Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any benefits, rights or remedies on any entity, other than the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. However, if there is a joint owner of any Patent Rights identified in Section 1 of the Patent & Technology License Agreement (other than Licensee), then Licensee hereby agrees that the following provisions of these Terms and Conditions extend to the benefit of the co-owner identified therein (excluding the Licensee to the extent it is a co-owner) as if such co-owner was identified in each reference to the Licensor: the retained rights under clause (b) of Section 2.1; Section 11.3 (Licensor Disclaimers); Section 12 (Limitation of Liability); Section 13 (Indemnification); Section 14.1 (Insurance Requirements); Section 17 (Use of Name); and Section 19.10 (Sovereign Immunity, if applicable).
