7. Improvements
7.1.

7.2. Licensee will own all of the right, title and interest (including patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets and any other intellectual property rights, but excluding Patents) in and to the results of the collaboration between the parties that are developed solely by Licensee employees, consultants or agents, when acting as such.

Licensee shall promptly discontinue such marking with any patent application number within Patents upon its abandonment or grant, and any patent number within Patents upon its abandonment or expiration. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not be in breach of any of its obligations hereunder to the extent it has no knowledge of facts or circumstances giving rise to an obligation to mark or remove markings under this Section 9.2.

In addition to the foregoing, in the event that (a) Licensee shall make or offer to make any arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors, or (b) Licensee ceases or threatens to cease to carry on its business, or (c) Licensee is or becomes unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (d) Licensee commits any act of insolvency or bankruptcy, or (e) a petition or resolution for the making of an administration order or for the bankruptcy, winding-up or dissolution of Licensee is presented or passed, or (f) Licensee files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or (g) a receiver or administrator takes possession of or is appointed over the whole or any part of the assets of Licensee, or (h) any analogous procedure is commenced against or by Licensee in any jurisdiction, Carnegie Mellon shall have the right by written notice to Licensee to terminate this Agreement.
10.2. In the event that either party to this Agreement defaults in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder (other than any of the defaults or events referred to in Section 10.1. hereof) and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days, or in the case of any default by Licensee pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof ninety (90) days, after written notice of such default from such other party, then this Agreement shall terminate sixty (60) days after the expiration of such 30-day or 90-day period, as the case may be.
10.3. In the event that any of (a) Licensee, or (b) an affiliate of Licensee, or (c) a third party acting on behalf of Licensee or one of its affiliates, challenges or disputes the validity or enforceability of any intellectual property rights licensed hereunder in any judicial or administrative proceeding, Carnegie Mellon may, at its option and sole discretion, terminate the license or terminate exclusivity as to such challenged intellectual property by notice in writing to Licensee.
| 12 |
10.4. The Royalty rates and other amounts stated herein have been negotiated with the understanding that no court has made any determination as to the validity or enforceability of any Patent specifically claiming any of the Licensed Technology or whether any of Licensee’s products infringe any claim of any Patent. Licensee desires to obtain a license under the terms stated herein, without regard to the lack of such adjudication. In the event that Licensee or any affiliate of Licensee, either directly or indirectly, challenges the validity or enforceability of any intellectual property rights licensed hereunder, or commences a judicial proceeding involving whether any of its products infringe any claim of Carnegie Mellon’s intellectual property rights or would infringe in the absence of this license, and such validity, enforceability or infringement is upheld in any such judicial or administrative proceeding (including a reexamination that results in issuance of amended claims), Royalties due and payable under Section 5.1 herein shall, effective immediately as of the date such validity, enforceability or infringement is upheld, increase to two times the percentage specified in Section 5.1 herein to take into account the additional uncertainty regarding Carnegie Mellon’s rights provided by such a resolution and to compensate Carnegie Mellon for the burden and expense of such challenge.
10.5. The termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 or pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall not terminate (a) in the case of termination pursuant to Section 3 or by Carnegie Mellon pursuant to this Section 10, the obligation of Licensee to pay any amounts which have accrued or would otherwise be required to be paid by Licensee under the terms of this Agreement, and (b) the obligations of Licensee under Sections 6 (Reports and Audits), 8 (Patents and Other Intellectual Property), 10 (Termination), 11 (Taxes), 14 (Confidentiality and Trade Secrets), 2.11 and 15 (Indemnification), 16 (Insurance), 20 (Dispute Resolution), and 21 (Infringement) hereunder.
11. Taxes

21. Infringement
21.1. So long as Licensee remains the exclusive licensee of any of the Patents in the Field of Use, Licensee shall have the right during the term of this Agreement to commence an action for infringement of any of those Patents against any third party for any infringement occurring within the Field of Use, provided that Licensee shall provide Carnegie Mellon and ULRF thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such infringement and of Licensee’s intent to file such action.

If required by the jurisdictional laws of the forum that any such action be prosecuted in the name of the owner of the Patent or that Carnegie Mellon and ULRF be joined as a party-plaintiff, Carnegie Mellon and ULRF may voluntarily appear; provided that Licensee shall hold Carnegie Mellon and ULRF harmless from, and indemnify Carnegie Mellon and ULRF against any liability, damage, loss, or expense that Carnegie Mellon and ULRF suffers or incurs, including Carnegie Mellon’s and ULRF’s attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with, in consequence of or resulting from such action.

21.2. In the event that Licensee is unsuccessful in persuading an alleged infringer to desist or fails to initiate any infringement action contemplated by Section 21.1 within a reasonable time after Licensee first becomes aware of the basis for such action, Carnegie Mellon shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to prosecute such infringement action at its sole expense, provided that, before commencing any such action concerning the Field of Use, Carnegie Mellon shall provide Licensee written notice of such infringement and of Carnegie Mellon’s intent to file such action. Licensee shall have the right at its own expense to appear in such action by counsel of its own selection. If Carnegie Mellon provides Licensee with such notice and Licensee fails to initiate an action against such third party prior to the commencement of an action by Carnegie Mellon, then any settlement amount or recovery shall belong to Carnegie Mellon, and Carnegie Mellon may settle said action without the consent of Licensee.
| 17 |
21.3.
