Royalty Bearing Product for a calendar quarter shall be creditable against any royalty payments due to SBIBT by MedImmune under this Section 5.4 with respect to the sale of such Royalty Bearing Product, but provided that such credit shall not reduce the amount of royalties otherwise owed by MedImmune for such sales to an amount that is less than [***] ([***]) of Net Sales of Royalty Bearing Product for the applicable calendar quarter. Any amount of Third Party Royalty that is not credited in a calendar quarter as a result of the limitation on royalty reduction of this Section 5.4(h) may be credited in one or more subsequent calendar quarters, (subject to the applicable limit on royalty reduction) until exhausted.
(i) SBIBT shall be solely responsible for making any and all payments that are due and payable under a Technology Acquisition Agreement of Exhibit B. SBIBT agrees to make all payments under a Technology Acquisition Agreement of Exhibit B when due including but not limited to milestone payments and royalties for sales of Product made by MedImmune and/or its Affiliates and/or their Sublicensees.
(j) In the event that a Technology Acquisition Agreement of Exhibit B is terminated, or the scope of the license thereunder is reduced, and MedImmune obtains a license under one or more Patent Rights and/or Know-How that was previously licensed to SBIBT thereunder, SBIBT shall reimburse MedImmune for the cost and expense of securing such license and any payments, made by MedImmune with respect thereto (including but not limited to milestones and royalties to be paid thereunder) or in the alternative MedImmune shall have the right to deduct such payments from any payments owed by MedImmune to SBIBT.

(b) With respect to the alleged infringement by a Third Party of SBIBT Patent Rights in the Territory or misappropriation or misuse of SBIBT Know-How by making, using, selling, importing or offering for sale a Product in the Territory (a Product Infringement), as between SBIBT and MedImmune, MedImmune will have the first right (but not the obligation) to bring any infringement action or proceeding against such Product Infringement, at the cost and expense of MedImmune, by counsel of its own choice. SBIBT will have the right, at its own cost and expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice, but MedImmune shall control such infringement action. If MedImmune decides not to bring or fails to bring such an action within [***] ([***]) [***] of written notice of a Product Infringement from either Party in accordance with Section 6.3(a), then to the extent that it has the right to do so under the applicable law, SBIBT will have the right (but not the obligation) to bring such action at the cost and expense of SBIBT with counsel selected by SBIBT. MedImmune, at its cost and expense, will have the right to be represented by counsel in any such action brought by SBIBT.

Any damages or other monetary awards recovered pursuant to any suit, proceeding or other legal action taken under this Section 6.3 will be allocated first to the costs and expenses of the Party initially bringing suit, and second to the costs and expenses (if any) of the other Party that were authorized by the Party bringing the suit and not otherwise reimbursed, with any remaining amounts (if any) to be allocated to the Party bringing suit and if the amount is allocated to MedImmune, such amount will be Net Sales subject to royalty under this Agreement.
(d) SBIBT shall inform MedImmune of any certification regarding any SBIBT Patent Rights in the United States it has received pursuant to either 21 U.S.C. §§355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or (j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) or its successor provisions or any similar provisions in the Territory and shall provide MedImmune with a copy of such certification within [***] ([***]) [***] of receipt.

Until and unless MedImmune elects to control such defense, SBIBT shall control the defense of any such action or proceeding, at its sole expense. Neither MedImmune nor SBIBT shall settle or compromise such an action or proceeding in a manner that adversely affects the scope, validity or enforceability of any SBIBT Patent Rights in the Territory without the written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.
