If, during the term of this Agreement, Celeritek grants any third party more favorable pricing for Products on substantially similar terms and conditions for substantially similar or lesser quantities of Products, Celeritek shall notify Buyer thereof in writing within thirty (30) days of granting such third party such more favorable pricing and Buyer shall have fifteen (15) days to notify Celeritek of its acceptance of such terms ("PRICING ADJUSTMENT DATE"). Provided Buyer has notified Celeritek of its acceptance thereof within such fifteen (15) day period, the pricing in EXHIBIT B shall be deemed automatically adjusted to such more favorable pricing. For avoidance of doubt, such more favorable pricing shall only be 3. CELERITEK/TELEDYNE CONFIDENTIAL effective on a forward going basis and solely with respect to those Products, the obligation for the supply or purchase of which arose after the Pricing Adjustment Date. 2.4 RESALE RESTRICTIONS.

In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the main body of this Agreement, Buyer's purchase of Products hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in EXHIBIT C, in the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions set forth in the main body of this Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in EXHIBIT C, the terms and conditions set forth in the main body of the Agreement shall govern. 2.6 LAST TIME BUY.

For avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Buyer's Last Time Buy be deemed to require Celeritek to obtain any additional manufacturing capacity or personnel resources to fulfill such Last Time Buy, which, if in Celeritek's good faith, reasonable opinion will be required to fulfill such Last Time Buy, the parties shall negotiate in good faith alternate quantities of Products based on Celeritek's then existing and available manufacturing capacity and personnel resources and Buyer's estimated requirements. 2.7 SUBSTRATES. Celeritek's obligation to deliver the Substrates hereunder is conditioned upon Buyer's timely delivery to Celeritek of a complete and accurate copy of the relevant associated Substrate Design(s) and Celeritek shall have no liability hereunder based on Buyer's failure to do so. In connection with the foregoing, Buyer hereby grants Celeritek, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty free, right and license, including the right to grant sublicenses, under Buyer's Intellectual Property Rights to use, reproduce, and distribute such Substrate Designs and to make, have made, import, sell and offer for sale the Substrates, in each case solely for or on behalf of Buyer and not for or on behalf of any third party.

The foregoing license (1) under (i) above shall be royalty free and (2) under (ii) above shall be subject to the payment of a royalty in accordance with Section 3.4 below. The foregoing licenses are a present grant of rights exercisable by Buyer upon a release of the Deposit under Section 3.3 below. The term of the foregoing licenses shall be solely for a period of three (3) years commencing on the Effective Date hereof (which shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.6 below). The foregoing licenses include the right to modify and create derivative works of the Deposit for purposes of creating improvements to the Devices or Capacitors as deemed reasonably necessary by Buyer, it being understood that for avoidance of doubt, the foregoing licenses do not entitle and do not constitute a grant under any of Celeritek's Intellectual Property Rights to us, modify or create derivative works of the Deposit to develop any other products or services. 3.3 RELEASE CONDITIONS. Buyer shall be entitled to receive a copy of the Deposit in accordance with the procedure therefor set forth in the Escrow Agreement upon the occurrence of any one of the following events: (1) Celeritek ceases to offer for sale any Device or Capacitor or (2)(i) Celeritek files a voluntary petition under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code"); (ii) an involuntary petition under Chapter 7 of the Code is filed against Licensor, and such petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days of such filing; or (iii) Licensor files a voluntary petition, or an involuntary petition is filed against Licensor, in each case under Chapter 11 of the Code and, the trustee, or Celeritek as the debtor in possession, fails to assume (including by way of rejection) this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, in the event of a release pursuant to subsection 3.3(1) above, the release of the Deposit, and the license granted under 3.2 above with respect thereto, shall be limited to the specific Device or Capacitor identified by Celeritek's serial number which Celeritek has ceased to offer for sale. 3.4 DEPOSIT LICENSE ROYALTIES & PAYMENT. (a) Royalty. In consideration of the rights and licenses granted to the Deposit as set forth under Section 3.2(ii) above, Buyer shall pay Celeritek the per unit royalty set forth in EXHIBIT B with respect to each Device and Capacitor sold pursuant to Section 3.2(ii) above ("Royalties"). Royalties shall be payable to Celeritek or relevant trustee or successor to the Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Deposit, as the case may be (each generally referred to under this Section 3.4 only as "Trustee") on a calendar quarterly basis concurrently with delivery of the applicable Quarterly Report (as defined below) for such quarter. (b) Royalty Reports & Audit. No later than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter after a release of the Deposit, Buyer shall deliver to Trustee a written report showing the number of Devices and Capacitors sold on a "stand-alone" basis pursuant to Section 3.2(ii) above during such quarterly period and the computation of amounts due with respect thereto under 3.4(a) above ("Quarterly Report"). During the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter, Buyer shall maintain complete and accurate books and records with respect to the manufacture and sale of Devices and Capacitors under Section 3.2(ii) above, or otherwise pertaining to the payment of fees hereunder by Buyer, including without limitation all underlying data sufficient to support the information disclosed in the Quarterly Reports ("Buyer Records"). Trustee may have an independent auditor, on at least fifteen (15) days prior notice to Buyer, audit Buyer Records, provided that such audits shall not be performed more frequently than once in any twelve (12) month period, unless an audit reveals an underpayment and then Trustee shall have the right to conduct an additional audit during such twelve (12) month period. The audit will be at Trustee's cost and expense, 5. CELERITEK/TELEDYNE CONFIDENTIAL unless, however, such audit reveals an underpayment of five percent (5%) or more for the period audited, then Buyer shall immediately pay the shortage, any applicable interest and the costs of such audit. 4. CONFIDENTIALITY 4.1 OBLIGATIONS.
