2.4. Reservation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise, upon any Party licensed hereunder, any license or other right under any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property right except the licenses, covenants, immunities, and other rights expressly granted hereunder.

3. Payment.

3.1. Royalties.

(a) LM Royalties. LM will pay the royalties to EB equal to the applicable Royalty Rate (as described in Exhibit A) as applied to the Net Selling Price for LM Licensed Products that are sold or Otherwise Disposed Of (as defined in Section 1.29) by LM, its Affiliates and Sublicensees.

(b) EB Royalties. EB will pay the royalties to LM equal to the applicable Royalty Rate (as described in Exhibit A) as applied to the Net Selling Price for: (i) EB Products sold or Otherwise Disposed Of in the Government Field by EB, its Affiliates and Sublicensees during the Co-Exclusive Term; (ii) EB Products authorized pursuant to Section 2.2(b) sold or Otherwise Disposed Of in the Government Field by EB, its Affiliates and Sublicensees during the Exclusive Term; and (iii) EB Licensed Products licensed hereunder that are sold or Otherwise Disposed Of by EB, its Affiliates and Sublicensees.

(c) Basis for Royalty Rates. The Parties expressly acknowledge and confirm that they have knowingly negotiated and structured the Royalty Rates and other payment terms for their mutual convenience. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Royalty Rates and other payment terms set forth herein reflect the Parties’ desire to avoid potential disputes as to the relative value of the various intellectual property rights embodied in the Licensed Patents and Field Technologies. For example, the Royalty Rates are intended to be a blended royalty rate that reflects the combined value of the applicable intellectual property licensed hereunder, and that the Parties have agreed to apply such single blended royalty rate because such method of calculating royalties is more convenient for the parties than applying one royalty rate to the licenses granted hereunder for patents and a separate royalty rate to the licenses granted hereunder for other intellectual property.

3.2. Sublicense Fees. The Paying Party shall, in addition, pay to the Payee Party [***] of any and all Sublicensing Revenues obtained by the Paying Party and its Affiliates (such amounts, “Sublicensing Fees”).

3.3. Payment Terms.

(a) The Party with the payment obligation (the “Paying Party”) shall deliver to the other Party (the “Payee Party”) a semi-annual report on January 31 and July 31 of each year during the Term that is of sufficient detail to allow the Payee Party to confirm the amounts due to the Payee Party hereunder in the preceding six (6) month period that commenced January 1 (for the July 31 report) and July 1 (for the January 31 report) (each a “Six Month Period”). All amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be due within sixty (60) days following the end of the applicable Six Month Period.

(b) The Paying Party will be liable for interest on overdue amounts, commencing on the date such amounts become due and ending upon payment of such amounts, at an annual rate of [***] higher than the prime interest rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the date amounts become due or, if not published that day, the immediately preceding business day during such period, or the maximum legal rate, whichever is less. Such accrual of interest will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, enforcement of any other rights of the Payee Party related to such late payment. Each Party will pay any fees due under this Agreement in U.S. dollars by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as may be specified, in writing, by the other Party from time-to-time. The rate of exchange to be used in converting foreign funds to United States Dollars shall be the actual rate at which the Paying Party, on the relevant date, purchases United States Dollars with such foreign funds.

3.4. Records & Audits. The Paying Party shall keep complete, true and accurate records for the purpose of showing the derivation of all amounts payable to the Payee Party under this Agreement, and shall maintain such records for the longer of five (5) years and the period of time required by applicable law. Solely as necessary to confirm the accuracy of the amounts due under this Agreement, upon reasonable advance notice to the Paying Party, the Payee Party will make its relevant books and records available for inspection by an internationally recognized third-party auditor (“Auditor”) no more than twice each year during normal business hours. Any inspection or such audit shall be at the expense of the Payee Party, unless the inspection or audit properly reveals that, with respect to the period under audit, less than 95% of the amounts due to the Payee Party hereunder were reported by the Paying Party to be due, in which event the Paying Party shall pay or reimburse the Payee Party for the reasonable expenses of such inspection or audit (but not in excess of the amount of the deficiency reporting so revealed), in addition to the Payee Party’s other remedies for any underpayment. The records provided or accessed hereunder will be the Paying Party’s Proprietary Information.

Either Party may from time to time replace its Principal Contact with a different employee, but unless required due to events beyond its control, neither Party will replace its Principal Contact without at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice to the other Party. The Principal Contacts of each Party, and other appropriate team members, will meet at least once every six (6) months to discuss the Parties’ respective products and commercial pursuits within the Government Field, and to coordinate efforts as mutually agreed.

4.2. Technical, Development, & Marketing Services. The Parties anticipate that EB would provide, at the expense of LM, certain technical, development, and marketing support services to LM.

5.4. Survival. Obligations regarding payment obligations that accrue as of the date of termination, and the provisions of Sections 3.4, 5.4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement or of the Term. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, each Party (“Licensee Party”) agrees that it will assign to the other Party (“Licensing Party”) all sublicense agreements entered into by Licensee Party and its Sublicensees with respect to the Licensed Patents and Field Technology of the Licensing Party and Licensing Party agrees to assume such assigned sublicenses, as long as the Sublicensees are not in default.

EB agrees to indemnify and hold harmless LM and its Affiliates, Sublicensees and channel partners, and their respective agents, directors, officers and employees and their respective successors and assigns (the “LM Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, fees or expenses (“Losses”) incurred by a LM Indemnitee arising out of or in connection with any claim, suit, demand, investigation or proceeding brought by a third party or an EB Affiliate based on (a) the development, use, manufacture, distribution or sale of any product, process or service by EB or any of its Affiliates, Sublicensees or channel partners under or pursuant to the licenses granted by LM under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claims made against LM by third parties or an EB Affiliate alleging injury, damage, death or other consequence occurring to any person claimed to result, directly or indirectly, from the possession or use of any such product, whether claimed by reason of breach of warranty, negligence, product defect or otherwise, and regardless of the form or forum in which any such claim is made, (b) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of EB in this Agreement. This indemnification shall not apply to the extent that any Losses are due to the negligence of a LM Indemnitee, a material breach of any of LM’s representations, warranties, covenants and/or obligations under this Agreement, or with respect to third party intellectual property rights, infringement or misappropriation arising solely from unmodified use of LM Field Technology that is in accordance with this Agreement. EB shall indemnify LM for any claim, suit, demand, investigation or proceeding brought by a third party or an EB Affiliate against the LM Indemnitees for infringement of any third party intellectual property, of which EB has knowledge, by EB Field Technology or EB Licensed Software sold by the LM Indemnitees; provided that EB will have no such indemnification obligations for claims resulting from: (i) modifications of the EB Field Technology or EB Licensed Software other than by EB, if such a claim would have been avoided but for such modification; (ii) combination of the EB Field Technology or EB Licensed Software with designs, circuits, products, processes, materials, or data not provided by EB, if such a claim would have been avoided but for such combination; (iii) use of EB Field Technology or EB Licensed Software that is in breach of this Agreement; or (iv) LM's failure to use replacement technology provided by EB to avoid such claim.

9.3. The obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 9 shall be contingent upon timely notification by the indemnitee to the indemnitor of any claims, suits or service of process; the tender by the indemnitee to the indemnitor of full control over the conduct and disposition of any claim, demand or suit; and reasonable cooperation by the indemnitee, at the expense of the indemnitor, in the defense of the claim, demand or suit. No indemnitor will be bound by or liable with respect to any settlement or admission entered or made by any indemnitee without the prior written consent of the indemnitor. The indemnitee will have the right to retain its own counsel to participate in its defense in any proceeding hereunder. The indemnitee shall pay for its own counsel except to the extent it is determined that (a) one or more legal defenses may be available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnitor, or (b) representation of two parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In any such case and to such extent, the indemnitor shall be responsible to pay for the reasonable costs and expenses of the separate counsel retained to participate in the defense of the indemnitee, provided that such expenses are otherwise among those covered by the indemnitor’s indemnity obligations hereunder.

10. Disclaimer and Limits of Liability.

10.1. THE WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES STATED IN SECTIONS 8 AND 9 ARE IN LIEU OF, AND THE PARTIES EACH DISCLAIM, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR ARISING BY LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

11. Dispute Resolution.

11.1. The parties intend that, to the extent practicable, they shall resolve disputes hereunder cooperatively through discussions among the Principal Contacts and by mutual consent of the parties. In situations in which that does not occur, disputes or differences arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall initially be referred for review by the parties’ respective Senior Managements (as defined below). Such Senior Managements shall discuss the proposed dispute or difference, and shall meet with respect thereto if either of them believes a meeting or meetings are likely to be useful. If the Senior Managements do not resolve the dispute or difference within thirty (30) days (or such lesser or longer period as they may agree is a useful period for their discussions), then either Party may pursue its other available remedies, consistent with this Agreement. As used herein, EB’s “Senior Management” means its then-current CEO, CFO, and COO, and LM’s “Senior Management” means its then-current Line of Business Senior Management.

11.2. If the Senior Managements are not able to resolve such dispute referred to them under Section 11.1 within such thirty (30) day period, then subject to Section 11.3, such dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration as follows: The parties shall select a mutually agreeable arbitrator who has significant relevant experience in the subject matter of the disputed issue and no affiliation or pre-existing relationship with either Party. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the end of the thirty (30) day period referred in Section 11.1, either Party may request the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in New York, NY to appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the parties in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of AAA. The arbitrator may decide any issue as to whether, or as to the extent to which, any dispute is subject to the arbitration and other dispute resolution provisions in this Agreement. The arbitrator must base the award on the provisions of this Agreement and must render the award in a writing which must include an explanation of the reasons for such award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s fees and expenses shall be shared equally by the parties or unless the arbitrator in the award assesses such fees and expenses against one of the Parties or allocates such fees and expenses other than equally between the parties. Each Party shall bear and pay its own expenses incurred in connection with any dispute resolution under this Section 11.

11.3. Notwithstanding Sections 11.1 and 11.2: (a) any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any patent or of any trademark rights relating to any Licensed Product shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such patent or trademark rights were granted or arose; and (b) either Party shall have the right, without waiving any right or remedy available to such Party under this Agreement or otherwise, to seek and obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary or desirable to protect the rights or property of such Party, pending the selection of the arbitrator hereunder or pending the arbitrator’s decision of the dispute subject to arbitration.
