LICENSEE shall also pay to LICENSOR Milestone Payments upon obtaining Regulatory Approval for indications of a Royalty & Milestone Product in a Product Family for use in animals as set forth below.

such Milestone shall only be payable once per Product Family.

such Milestone shall only be payable once per each indication.

IF LICENSOR’s Product Family Equity is greater than [***] ([***]) at the time LICENSEE achieves any specific Milestone is achieved, no payments will be due resulting from such Milestone.

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (i) no Milestone Payment shall be due to LICENSOR in connection with any Milestone resulting from the Development and/or Regulatory Approval of a Royalty & Milestone Product in a country in the Territory which has been exclusively licensed to the PRC Sublicensee; (ii) payment of a Milestone by a sublicensee, assignee or other transferee of, or Third Party retained by, LICENSEE shall be deemed to have been satisfied by LICENSEE for purposes of this Section 4.1.1; and (iii) if a clinical trial is designed to accomplish the end point of both a Phase II Clinical Trial and a Phase III Clinical Trial, then (A) the Milestone Payment under (1) above for Commencement of the Phase II Clinical Trial will only be due at the Commencement of such combined trial and (B) the Milestone Payment under (2) above, for Commencement of the Phase III Clinical Trial will only be due upon the filing for Regulatory Approval of a Royalty & Milestone Product in the applicable country or at the commencement of the necessary subsequent trial required to file, whichever comes first. For the sake of clarity, in the case of (B) in the preceding sentence, LICENSEE must also pay the Milestone Payment due under (3) above, when due.

Royalty Payments.

Quarterly Payments. LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR the applicable Royalties within [***] ([***]) days following the expiration of each Calendar Quarter after the date of the First Commercial Sale. Royalties will be payable on a country-by-country, Royalty & Milestone Product-by-Royalty & Milestone Product, basis commencing as of the First Commercial Sale of a Royalty & Milestone Product in each country until the expiration of the Royalty Term for such Royalty & Milestone Product in each country.

Reports. All payments shall be accompanied by a report that includes reasonably detailed information regarding a total monthly sales calculation of Net Sales of Royalty & Milestone Product (including all Deductions) and all Royalties payable to LICENSOR for the applicable Calendar Quarter (including any foreign exchange rates employed)

Anti-Stacking. Royalties may be reduced with respect to Net Sales in a particular country by deducting [***] ([***]) of any and all royalties paid by LICENSEE, its Affiliates and/or sublicensees to any Third Party for the Royalty & Milestone Product in such country, up to a maximum reduction of [***] ([***]) in the aggregate of the Royalties owing for Net Sales in such country for: (i) any license that LICENSEE determines in good faith would be prudent to obtain given the potential to resolve or avoid any claims that any Royalty & Milestone Product infringes or misappropriates the Intellectual Property Rights of any Third Party in such country; (ii) any final, unappealed judgment awarded against LICENSEE, its Affiliates or sublicensees for damages for infringement of Third Party Intellectual Property Rights with respect to Use of a Royalty & Milestone Product in such country; or (iii) any license for technology that is necessary to Develop or Commercialize a Royalty & Milestone Product in such country. LICENSEE shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize any such royalties or other payments to Third Parties on account of sales of Royalty & Milestone Products hereunder.

Combination Products. In the event that a Royalty & Milestone Product is Commercialized in combination with one or more products which are themselves not Royalty & Milestone Products under this Agreement for a single price, the Net Sales for such Royalty & Milestone Product shall be calculated by [***]. If the fair market value for any product sold in combination with a Royalty & Milestone Product cannot be reasonably determined, the price attributed to such product will be based on the relative cost of goods for such product, as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in the event that a Royalty & Milestone Product is sold with any other product(s) or if any giveaways, discounts, rebates or charge-backs (whether as part of a customer loyalty, bundling or “loss leader” program, or otherwise) are provided for a Royalty & Milestone Product to promote or sell other products or otherwise, the Net Sales for such Royalty & Milestone Product shall be no less than the fair market value of such Royalty & Milestone Product on a stand-alone basis (excluding any such discounts, rebates or charge-backs).

Sublicense Fees. In consideration of the licenses and rights granted to LICENSEE hereunder, LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR the applicable percentage of all Third Party Fees payable from any of LICENSEE’s sublicensees, assignees and other transferees (including without limitation the PRC Sublicensee but excluding any sublicensee, assignee or transferee that is an Affiliate of LICENSEE immediately following the applicable sublicense, assignment or transfer) (the “Sublicense Fees”) as set forth below. As used herein, “Third Party Fees” means any and all consideration in any form provided by sublicensees, assignees and other transferees (including without limitation the PRC Sublicensee) hereunder for rights under the Licensed Technology related to the Royalty & Milestone Products, excluding: (a) Royalties (which shall be subject to Section 4.1.2 above); (b) reimbursement of actual research and Development expenses for Royalty & Milestone Product; (c) manufacturing costs for the Royalty & Milestone Product; (d) payments for prosecution, enforcement or maintenance of any Licensed Technology; (e) Milestone Payments which are less than the Milestone Payments due to LICENSOR hereunder, if for achievement of the same Milestone event; and (f) any proceeds from a Change in Control of LICENSEE or a sale of all or substantially all of LICENSEE’s assets wherein [***] ([***]) [***]. LICENSEE shall pay all Sublicense Fees received during each Calendar Quarter within [***] ([***]) following the expiration of each such Calendar Quarter. All payments shall be accompanied by a report that includes a calculation of all Sublicense Fees payable to LICENSOR for the applicable Calendar Quarter.

Sublicense Fees Percentage by LICENSOR’s Product Family Equity

Other Payments. LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR any other amounts due under this Agreement within [***] ([***]) days following receipt of invoice.

Late Payments. In the event that any payments due hereunder are not made when due, each such payment shall accrue interest from the date due until paid at [***], plus [***] ([***]). The payment of such interest shall not limit or otherwise be deemed to be in satisfaction of LICENSOR exercising any other rights it may have under this Agreement arising from LICENSEE’s failure to make such payment when due.

After Royalty Term. After the expiration of the Royalty Term in any relevant country for a Royalty & Milestone Product, LICENSEE shall not have any further obligation under this Agreement to pay royalties to LICENSOR in such country for such Royalty & Milestone Product.

Payment Method.

Any payments that are recorded in currencies other than the US Dollar shall be converted into US Dollars at the average of the daily foreign exchange rates published in the Wall Street Journal, Western Edition (or any other qualified source that is acceptable to both Parties) for the Calendar Quarter in which such payments or expenses occurred, or for periods less than a Calendar Quarter, the average of the daily rates published in the Wall Street Journal, Western Edition for such period.

All payments from LICENSEE to LICENSOR shall be made by wire transfer in US Dollars to the credit of such bank account as may be designated by LICENSOR in writing to LICENSEE. Any payment which falls due on a date which is not a Business Day may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

Taxes.

It is understood and agreed between the Parties that any amounts payable by LICENSEE to LICENSOR hereunder are exclusive of any and all applicable sales, use, VAT, GST, excise, property, and other taxes, levies, duties or fees (collectively, “Taxes”), which shall be added thereon as applicable. LICENSEE shall be responsible for billing and collection from its customers and remitting to the appropriate taxing authority any and all Taxes which it is required to collect or remit. Each Party will be responsible for their own income and property taxes. If LICENSEE is required to make a payment to LICENSOR subject to a deduction of tax or withholding tax, (i) if such withholding or deduction obligation arises as a direct result of any failure on the part of LICENSEE to comply with applicable tax laws or filing or record retention requirements, that has the effect of modifying the tax treatment of the Parties hereto (a “LICENSEE Withholding Tax Action”), then the sum

To the extent LICENSEE is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payments to LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper governmental authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to LICENSOR an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable LICENSOR to claim such payments of taxes. LICENSOR shall provide to LICENSEE any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for LICENSEE not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by law, of withholding taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or VAT.

The Parties agree to cooperate and produce on a timely basis any tax forms or reports, including an IRS Form W-8BEN, reasonably requested by the other Party in connection with any payment made by LICENSEE to LICENSOR under this Agreement.

RECORDS; AUDIT RIGHTS

Relevant Records. LICENSEE shall maintain accurate financial books and records pertaining to the sublicensing of the Licensed Technology pursuant to Section 2.2 and LICENSEE’s sale of each Royalty & Milestone Product, including any and all calculations of the applicable Fees (collectively, “Relevant Records”). LICENSEE shall maintain the Relevant Records for the longer of: (a) the period of time required by Applicable Law, or (b) [***] ([***]) following expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Audit Request. LICENSOR shall have the right during the Term and for [***] ([***]) [***] thereafter to engage, at its own expense, an independent auditor reasonably acceptable to LICENSEE to examine the Relevant Records from time-to-time, but no more frequently than [***] ([***]) [***], as may be necessary to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Such audit shall be requested in writing at least [***] ([***]) [***]in advance, and shall be conducted during LICENSEE’s normal business hours and otherwise in manner that minimizes any interference to LICENSEE’s business operations.

Audit Fees and Expenses. LICENSOR shall bear any and all fees and expenses it may incur in connection with any such audit of the Relevant Records; provided, however, in the event an audit reveals an underpayment of LICENSEE of more than [***] ([***]) as to the period subject to the audit, LICENSEE shall reimburse LICENSOR for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the audit within [***] ([***]) days after receiving invoices thereof.

Payment of Deficiency. If any audit establishes that LICENSEE underpaid any amounts due to LICENSOR under this Agreement, then LICENSEE shall pay LICENSOR any such deficiency within [***] ([***]) days after receipt of written notice thereof unless it disputes the results of such audit in accordance with Section 14 (Dispute Resolution) of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such payment will be considered a late payment, subject to Section 4.1.5.

Upon receipt of a Platform Patent Abandonment Notice, LICENSEE shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon written notice to LICENSOR, at its sole discretion and expense, to file or to continue the prosecution or maintenance of such Platform Patent in such country in LICENSOR’s name and on LICENSOR’s behalf using counsel of its own choice and at its own expense.

Compound Specific Patents.

LICENSEE will have final decision making authority for which of the Patent Rights, if any, to extend, provided that LICENSOR will have the right to prevent a Platform Patent from being subject to such extension.

Reagent Patents. For clarity, the Section 6.4 shall not be deemed to apply to the Reagent Patents, for which LICENSOR retains sole rights.

INFRINGEMENT; MISAPPROPRIATION

All of the non-breaching/terminating Party’s remedies shall be cumulative, and the exercise of one remedy hereunder by the non-defaulting/terminating Party shall not be deemed to be an election of remedies. These remedies shall include the non-breaching/terminating Party’s other rights of recovery for such breach with or without terminating this Agreement.

Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing hereunder prior to such expiration or termination.
