5.         Section 11 of the First Amendment to the Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Settlement Agreement and the same rights and obligations provided for under Section 11 shall apply with equal force and effect to the Settlement Agreement. This shall include, but is not limited to, the requirement that Licensee shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable to Licensors under the Settlement Agreement and the right of inspection of such books of account and records under the same terms and conditions as provided for under Section 11.

FIRST AMENDMENT

6.         Section 2.3(h) (Sublicenses) of the Agreement hereby is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(b)         In the event this Agreement is terminated by Licensors due to a breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by Licensee (and not the applicable sublicensee), the applicable sublicensee shall become the Licensee under the Agreement; provided, however, in the event Licensee disputes the termination, the Agreement and the applicable sublicenses shall remain in effect until final resolution of the dispute upon written agreement of the Licensors and Licensee or pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. If the dispute is resolved finally such that Licensee is found to have breached the Agreement or if Licensee does not dispute the termination, then the sublicensee shall become the Licensee under the Agreement provided that such sublicensee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreement and this Settlement Agreement and First Amendment. If the dispute is resolved finally such that Licensee is found not to have breached the Agreement, then the Agreement and sublicenses shall remain in effect.

(c)         In the event that one or more of the Licensors provides written notice to Licensee under this Agreement that this Agreement has been materially breached and the alleged or actual breach is the result of the acts or omissions of a sublicensee, Licensors acknowledge and agree that such breach shall give rise only to termination of the applicable sublicense and not to this Agreement or any other sublicenses. All other remedies otherwise provided by the Agreement remain available to Licensors.

(d)         With respect to Section 6.3 (Enforcement and Defense) of the Agreement, to the extent that Licensee grants any sublicenses, if Licensee does not wish to take or continue any action to terminate an infringement or appropriation of any Patent Right, Licensee shall have the right to grant a sublicensee the right to take or continue any such action prior to Licensors exercising any such right, provided that sublicensee shall not have the right to settle, compromise or take any action in such litigation which diminishes, limits or inhibits the scope, validity or enforceability of the Patent Rights without the express written consent of Licensors.

(e)         Upon expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1, Licensee (and any applicable sublicensees) shall have a fully paid-up, royalty-free, non-cancelable license subject (in the case of Licensee’s sublicensees) to the terms of the applicable sublicenses.”

7.         For purposes of clarification, the parties agree to delete the following sentence in Section 3.5 (Single Royalty; Non-Royalty Sales):

“In the event that a single Licensed Product has multiple indications, if one of the indications is for urea cycle disorder, such Licensed Product shall constitute an Initial Licensed Product.”

and replace it with the following:

“In the event that a single Licensed Product has multiple approved indications, if one of the indications is for urea cycle disorder and the multiple approved indications appear on the same Licensed Product label, such Licensed Product shall constitute an Initial Licensed Product.”

8.         The Term of the Agreement as defined in Section 5.1 (Term) of the Agreement remains unchanged. For the avoidance of doubt, subsection (a) of Section 5.1 (Term) will be ***.

9.         Section 5.3 (Termination by Licensee) of the Agreement is deleted its entirety.

10.       The parties agree that the Agreement contained a typographical error in that the correct name of the party to the Agreement is Brusilow Enterprises, LLC, and that such change is effective as if made a part of the original Agreement.

11.       Section 10.4 (Records; Inspection) of the Agreement hereby is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(a) Licensee shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable to Licensors under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept at Licensee’s principal place of business for at least *** following the end of *** to which they pertain, and will be open for inspection during such *** period by an independent public accountant not providing accounting services to Licensors, Licensee or any of their respective Affiliates, which is reasonably acceptable to both parties, for the purpose of verifying Licensee’s *** written reports. Such inspections may be made no more than *** each calendar year, during normal business hours and upon ***’ prior notice. Such accountant shall be permitted access only to the books and records which Licensee determines are necessary for verifying the *** written reports. Any such information shall be considered to be Confidential Information of Licensee.

(b) Inspections conducted under Section 10.4(a) shall be at the expense of ***, unless an underpayment exceeding *** percent (***%) of the amount paid for the period covered by the inspection is established in the course of any such inspection, whereupon all costs relating thereto will be paid by ***, as well as any unpaid royalties due and owing to Licensors within the *** after the notification by *** to *** that an underpayment had been discovered.

(c) If Licensee grants a sublicense, then Licensee shall audit the records of the sublicensee *** after commercial sales of Licensed Product by the sublicensee commence, and shall provide a copy of the auditor’s report to Licensors. Such audit shall be at the expense of ***.

(d) Licensee shall require any sublicensee to keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable to Licensee under the sublicense agreement. Such books and records shall be kept at sublicensee’s principal place of business for at least *** following the end of *** to which they pertain, and will be open for inspection by an independent public accountant not providing accounting services to Licensors, Licensee, any of their respective Affiliates, or sublicense; chosen by Licensors, and at the expense of ***, for the purpose of verifying for Licensors the sublicensee’s written reports. Such inspection may be made no more than *** each calendar year, during normal business hours and upon ***’ prior -notice to Licensee, and shall be promptly arranged by Licensee with the sublicensee upon receipt of such notice.”
