Article III.   PAYMENTS
 
Section 3.01 License Payments: In consideration of rights granted by UNIVERSITY to LICENSEE under this AGREEMENT, LICENSEE will pay UNIVERSITY a royalty on each LICENSED PRODUCT SOLD by LICENSEE or any SUBLICENSEE to a third party, as calculated pursuant to the mechanism set forth below (hereinafter “SALES ROYALTY”). A SALES ROYALTY accrues when LICENSED PRODUCTS are SOLD and such amounts are actually received by LICENSEE. SALES ROYALTY shall be payable as follows:


(a)
Prior to expiration of the PATENT RIGHTS in the LICENSED TERRITORY,


(i)
From the FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE until the 10,000 units of LICENSED PRODUCT are SOLD, zero dollars ($0) per LICENSED PRODUCT;
 
4



(ii)
From 10,001 to 100,000 units of LICENSED PRODUCTs, fifty cents ($0.50) per LICENSED PRODUCT;
 

(iii)
100,001 to 150,000 units of LICENSED PRODUCTS, five dollars ($5.00) per LICENSED PRODUCT;
 

(iv)
From 150,001 to 250,000 units of LICENSED PRODUCTS, three dollars ($3.00) per LICENSED PRODUCT;
 

(v)
From 250,001 to 450,000 units of LICENSED PRODUCTS, one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) per LICENSED PRODUCT;
 

(vi)
From 450,001, to 1,000,000 units LICENSED PRODUCTS, one dollar ($1.00) per LICENSED PRODUCT;
 

(vii)
From above 1,000,001 and until the expiration of the PATENT RIGHTS, thirty five cents ($0.35) per unit of LICENSED PRODUCT.
 

(b)
Following the expiration of the PATENT RIGHTS in the LICENSED TERRITORY, LICENSEE shall continue to pay $0.30 per LICENSED PRODUCT SOLD in the countries or territories that constituted LICENSED TERRITORY prior to expiration up to the payment of the ROYALTY CAP.

By way of example, should LICENSEE SELL 500,000 units of LICENSED PRODUCT, prior to the expiration of the PATENT RIGHTS, then the total SALES ROYALTY shall be 10,000x$0+90,000x$0.50+50,000x$5.00+100,000x$3.00+200,000x$1.50+50,000x$1.00 =$945,000.
 
Section 3.02 Royalty Cap. The total cumulative SALES ROYALTY payable to UNIVERSITY shall not exceed $15,000,000 dollars (“ROYALTY CAP”). Following LICENSEE’s payment to UNIVERSITY of the ROYALTY CAP, no further SALES ROYALTY shall be due.
 
Section 3.03 Buyout. LICENSEE shall have the right to notify UNIVERSITY at any time of the termination of all SALES ROYALTIES, and in such case shall instead pay a one-time payment calculated pursuant to a mechanism which shall be agreed by the PARTIES at such time.
 
Section 3.04 Sublicensee Royalty. For the avoidance of doubt, LICENSEE shall pay to UNIVERSITY an amount for each SALE of a LICENSED PRODUCT made by SUBLICENSEES equal to what LICENSEE would have been required to pay to UNIVERSITY had LICENSEE made such SALES.
 
Section 3.05 Royalty Stacking. To the extent LICENSEE reasonably determines that it is obligated to or that it is commercially reasonable to obtain a license for any third party intellectual property other than the PATENT RIGHTS in order to practice the LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSEE may reduce the royalty applicable to such LICENSED PRODUCT by an amount of up to fifty percent (50%) of the royalty payable to such third party; provided, however, that in no case shall such reduction (or the aggregate reduction if multiple third party licenses are required) in any calendar year exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the royalties payable in any calendar year to UNIVERSITY. For clarity, the amounts payable to UNIVERSITY under Section 3.01 shall never be less than seventy five percent (75%) of those that would otherwise be due and payable to UNIVERSITY absent the effects of this section.
 
5

Section 3.06 How Payments are Made. All payments to UNIVERSITY pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be paid in U.S. dollars. Conversion of foreign currency to U. S. dollars shall be made at the conversion rate existing in the United States (as reported in the in the Wall Street Journal) on the last working day of each ROYALTY PERIOD. Such payments shall be without deduction of exchange, collection or other charges. Such payments shall be made payable to The Curators of the University of Missouri by electronic transfer to the account in Appendix C.
 
Section 3.07 Payment Deadlines. Unless stipulated otherwise, all payments due UNIVERSITY hereunder shall be made within sixty (60) days after the end of each ROYALTY PERIOD other than year end, and ninety (90) days after year end. Late payments shall be subject to an interest charge of Libor +1%.
 
Section 3.08   Taxes. LICENSEE shall have the right to deduct or withhold from any payments to be paid, any such taxes, charges or levies, in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made according to any applicable law or jurisdiction.
 
Section 3.09 Challenge to Patent Rights. In the event that LICENSEE or one or more of its SUBLICENSEES directly or indirectly: (a) asserts a claim or counterclaim in the courts or before the applicable governmental agency (e.g., the United States Patent Trial and Appeal Board) seeking to attack, invalidate or render unenforceable any claim within the PATENT RIGHTS; or (c) assists a third party with either or both (a) or (b) (each of (a), (b), or (c) being a “CHALLENGE EVENT”), then LICENSEE or its SUBLICENSEE as applicable shall provide at least ninety (90) days written notice to UNIVERSITY prior to initiating such a CHALLENGE EVENT, along with a copy of any prior art which forms the basis for the CHALLENGE EVENT and a claim-by-claim detailed analysis of patent invalidity and/or unenforceability. Upon the occurrence of a CHALLENGE EVENT, UNIVERSITY, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this AGREEMENT with respect to such LICENSEE and/or SUBLICENSEE by providing written notice of the same. In the event that UNIVERSITY elects not to terminate this AGREEMENT, then all payments due under Article III by LICENSEE or SUBLICENSEE(s) as applicable shall double. Moreover, should the outcome of any such action or proceeding be unsuccessful, then LICENSEE and/or SUBLICENSEE challenging such claim shall pay (1) triple all payments after the pendency of the aforementioned action and (2) UNIVERSITY’s costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in such action. An action or proceeding shall be deemed “unsuccessful” for purposes of this Section 3.10 if: (i) the proceeding or lawsuit is terminated for any reason prior to a settlement or judgment from which no appeal can be or is taken; (ii) one or more of the claims within the PATENT RIGHTS challenged by said lawsuit remain valid and enforceable after any such settlement or judgment is in effect; or (iii) if LICENSEE would still require a license to any of the PATENT RIGHTS to sell any of its products after any such settlement or judgment is in effect. Any such judicial challenge by LICENSEE or a SUBLICENSEE shall be brought in the courts of Missouri, and LICENSEE and its SUBLICENSEE agree not to challenge personal jurisdiction in that forum. LICENSEE or such SUBLICENSEE shall not be relieved from any payments that accrue before any decision invalidating a claim within the PATENT RIGHTS or a claim not involved in such decision. LICENSEE or such SUBLICENSEE shall have no right to recoup any such payments paid before or during the period of challenge.
 
It is clarified that nothing in this AGREEMENT shall obligate LICENSEE to make payments which are contrary to the laws of the State of Missouri or the United States.

Article IV.   REPORTING
 
Section 4.01 First Sale. LICENSEE shall report to UNIVERSITY the date of first SALE of LICENSED PRODUCTS in each country of LICENSED TERRITORY within thirty (30) days of occurrence. An exemplary report format is set forth as Appendix A.
 
Section 4.02 Reporting. Within 90 days after each ROYALTY PERIOD following the first SALE of LICENSED PRODUCT, whether SOLD by LICENSEE or its SUBLICENSEE, if any exists, LICENSEE must deliver to UNIVERSITY a true and accurate written report, even if no payments are due UNIVERSITY, giving the particulars of the business conducted by LICENSEE and its SUBLICENSEE(s) during the ROYALTY PERIOD as are pertinent to calculating payments hereunder.

(b)
the total SALES ROYALTY computed and due UNIVERSITY;
 

(c)
the names and addresses of all SUBLICENSEES of LICENSEE.

If no payment is due, LICENSEE shall so report to UNIVERSITY. An exemplary report format is set forth in Appendix B. This report shall identify the issued patents and/or patent applications under the PATENT RIGHTS that cover the particular LICENSED PRODUCT being reported. LICENSEE shall direct its authorized representative to certify that reports required hereunder are correct to the best of LICENSEE's knowledge and information. Failure to provide reports as required under this Article shall be a material breach of this AGREEMENT.
 
LICENSEE shall provide sufficient data for UNIVERSITY to verify the royalty calculations.
 
Section 4.03 Records. LICENSEE shall keep full, true and accurate books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of showing the amounts payable to UNIVERSITY. The books of account shall be kept at LICENSEE's principal place of business or the principal place of business of the appropriate division of LICENSEE to which this AGREEMENT relates. The books, ledgers, records, and the supporting data shall be open at all reasonable times for five (5) years following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain, for the inspection by an independent "big-4" firm accounting firm. If the amounts due to UNIVERSITY are determined to have been underpaid, LICENSEE will pay the amount of such underpayment and interest on the amount of such underpayment with interest accumulating at the rate as set forth in Section 3.07 accruing from the date such payment was originally due to UNIVERSITY. Should such inspection lead to the discovery of a greater than five percent (5%) discrepancy in reporting to UNIVERSITY's detriment, LICENSEE agrees to pay the full cost of such inspection and audit.

Section 9.01 Confidential Information Defined. “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” means any and all information not generally known to the public, whether or not patentable or susceptible to any other form of legal protection, that is identified or designated by the disclosing party as being confidential or which, in light of the circumstances under which it was disclosed, whether oral or written, is reasonably apparent to the recipient to be considered confidential or proprietary by the disclosing party, including but not limited to information, concepts, designs, processes, specifications, schematics, equipment, processing techniques, technical information, drawings, diagrams, software (including source code), hardware, control systems, research, test results, manuals, trade secrets, commercialization studies, market studies, financial information and business plans except to the extent the recipient can prove by written documentation that such information:


(a)
was in the public domain at the time of disclosure;
 
11



(b)
later became part of the public domain through no act or omission or breach of this AGREEMENT by recipient, its employees, agents, successors or assigns;
 

(c)
was lawfully disclosed to recipient by a third party having the right to make such disclosure; or
 

(d)
was already known by recipient at the time of disclosure; or
 

(e)
was independently developed by recipient without the aid, use or application of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION received from the disclosing party and such independent development can be properly demonstrated by recipient; or
 

(f)
is otherwise required by law or regulation to be disclosed.
 
Specific information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by more general information within the exceptions. In addition, any combination of the features shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exception merely because individual features may be within the exceptions. All reporting information provided by LICENSEE pursuant to this agreement, shall constitute the "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION " of LICENSEE.
 
Section 9.02 Restrictions on Disclosure and Use. Each Party agrees that (a) all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall remain the exclusive property of the disclosing party, (b) the recipient shall receive and hold the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in strict confidence, (c) the recipient shall use the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION only for the purposes of this AGREEMENT, and (d) the recipient shall not disclose the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to third parties without the prior written consent of disclosing party, and (e) the recipient shall protect the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to the same extent that it protects its own trade secrets and confidential information, but in no less than commercially reasonable care.
 
Section 9.03 Legally required Disclosures. In the event that LICENSEE receives a request or is required by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process to disclose any or part or the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, LICENSEE agrees to (a) immediately notify UNIVERSITY in writing of the existence, terms, and circumstances surrounding such a request or requirement and (b) assist UNIVERSITY in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy satisfactory to UNIVERSITY. In the event that such a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, (a) LICENSEE may disclose that portion of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION which it is legally required to disclose, (b) LICENSEE shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to be disclosed and (c) LICENSEE shall give written notice to UNIVERSITY of the information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as practical. LICENSEE may also disclose CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION as required by applicable securities laws and regulations and exchange listing rules, and to governmental or other regulatory agencies in order to obtain approvals to market any LICENSED PRODUCT, but such disclosure may only be to the extent reasonable necessary to obtain approvals. UNIVERSITY hereby acknowledges and understands that LICENSEE's CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is highly confidential, and that since the LICENSEE's securities are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, certain CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION may also include "Insider Information" which is subject to certain restrictions under applicable securities legislation. UNIVERSITY further acknowledges that the use of Inside Information in breach of such restrictions, whether for its own benefit or for the benefit of others, whether by UNIVERSITY, its officers or employees or their relatives, friends, acquaintances or any third person to whom advice was given by any of the aforesaid based on the Inside Information, whether direct or indirect, is prohibited by law and may lead to criminal sanctions and/or liabilities according to civil law. University undertakes to ensure that its employees, consultants, representatives and anyone acting on its behalf act in accordance with all applicable legal restrictions relating to the Confidential Information.
 
12

Section 9.04 Disclosure to Potential Sublicensee or Assignee. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein above, LICENSEE may disclose the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to a potential SUBLICENSEE or assignee of LICENSEE, or third party manufacturer, or potential investors, manufacturers, consultants, or service providers, who are subject to written confidentiality restrictions substantially similar to those set forth herein, or who are subject confidentiality obligations under law.
 
Section 9.05 Sunshine Law. LICENSEE acknowledges that UNIVERSITY is subject to the Missouri Sunshine Act, 610 RSMo.
 
Section 9.06 Survival. LICENSEE’s obligations of confidentiality and non-use shall exist during the term of this AGREEMENT and for so long as such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION remains confidential in accordance with Section 9.01.
 
Article X.   TERM AND TERMINATION
 
Section 10.01 Term. This AGREEMENT shall become effective upon the EFFECTIVE DATE and, unless sooner terminated in accordance with any of the provisions herein, shall remain in full force until terminated by the PARTIES. Following payment by LICENSEE of amounts equal to the ROYALTY CAP, the LICENSEE shall continue in force on a royalty-free basis.
 
Section 10.02 Breach. In the event that either PARTY defaults or breaches any of the provisions of this AGREEMENT, the other PARTY shall have the right to terminate this AGREEMENT by giving written notice to the defaulting PARTY; provided, however, that if the defaulting PARTY cures the default within sixty (60) days after the notice shall have been given, this AGREEMENT shall continue in full force and effect. The failure on the part of either of the PARTIES hereto to exercise or enforce any right conferred upon it hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any such right nor operate to bar the exercise or enforcement thereof at any time or times thereafter.
 
Section 10.03 Rights after Termination.
 

(a)
Upon termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT for any reason, LICENSEE shall:
 

(i)
promptly pay all amounts due UNIVERSITY through the effective date of the termination (even if they would otherwise be payable at a later date, e.g. within 30 days after invoicing), including those in Article III (payments);

13


(ii)
submit all final reports under Article IV; and


(iii)
return any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION provided to LICENSEE by UNIVERSITY in connection with this AGREEMENT, or, with UNIVERSITY’s prior approval, destroy such materials, and LICENSEE shall certify in writing that such materials have all been returned or destroyed.

Section 10.04 Survival. Termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT for any reason shall not release either PARTY from any obligation or liability theretofore accrued prior to such termination or expiration, and LICENSEE shall pay all expenses, costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by UNIVERSITY in connection with enforcing any obligation or liability of LICENSEE or accrued right of UNIVERSITY. All provisions of this AGREEMENT that would reasonably be expected to survive the termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT shall do so, including Article III (all--payments), Article VI (all—indemnity, insurance, warranties, damages), Article IX (all--confidentiality), Section 2.03 (reserved rights), Section 3.10 (challenge to patent rights), Section 4.02 (reporting), Section 4.03 (records); Section 10.03 (rights after termination), Section 10.04 (survival), Section 10.05 (ongoing payments), and Article XI (general—all) survive the termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT.
 
Section 10.05 Ongoing Payments. Any termination or cancellation under any provision of this AGREEMENT shall not relieve LICENSEE of its obligation to pay any royalty or other fees due to UNIVERSITY at the time of such termination or cancellation.
 
Article XI.   GENERAL
 
Section 11.01 Compliance with Laws; Export Controls. LICENSEE agrees to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. In particular, LICENSEE shall comply with all applicable U.S. laws dealing with the export and/or management of commodities, technology or information, and that LICENSEE will be responsible for any violation of such by LICENSEE or its SUBLICENSEES, and that it will defend and hold UNIVERSITY harmless in the event of any legal action of any nature occasioned by such violation. LICENSEE understands that the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), including its implementing International Traffic In Arms Regulations (ITAR,) and the Export Administration Act (EAA), including its Export Administration Regulations (EAR), are some (but not all) of the laws and regulations that comprise the U.S. export laws and regulations. LICENSEE further understands that the U.S. export laws and regulations include (but are not limited to): (a) ITAR and EAR product/service/data-specific requirements; (b) ITAR and EAR ultimate destination-specific requirements; (c) ITAR and EAR end user-specific requirements; (d) ITAR and EAR end use-specific requirements; (e) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and (f) anti-boycott laws and regulations. LICENSEE will comply with all then-current applicable export laws and regulations of the U.S. Government (and other applicable U.S. laws and regulations) pertaining to the LICENSED PRODUCTS (including any associated products, items, articles, computer software, media, services, technical data, and other information). LICENSEE warrants that it will not, directly or indirectly, export (including any deemed export), nor re-export (including any deemed re-export) the LICENSED PRODUCT (including any associated products, items, articles, computer software, media, services, technical data, and other information) in violation of U.S. export laws and regulations or other applicable U.S. laws and regulations. LICENSEE will include an appropriate provision in its agreements with its authorized SUBLICENSEES to assure that these parties comply with all then-current applicable U.S. export laws and regulations and other applicable U.S. laws and regulations. LICENSEE’S OBLIGATIONS TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAW (INCLUDING U.S. EXPORT CONTROL LAWS AND REGULATIONS) ARE INDEPENDENT OF AND SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

14

Section 11.02 University Name. LICENSEE agrees not to identify UNIVERSITY in any promotional advertising or other promotional materials to be disseminated to the public or any portion thereof or to use the name of any UNIVERSITY faculty member, employee, or student or any trademark, service mark, trade name, or symbol of UNIVERSITY, without UNIVERSITY'S prior written consent, provided that these restrictions do not apply to regulatory filings made as required by law or applicable regulatory bodies, including the SEC.
 
Section 11.03 Press. UNIVERSITY may disclose the existence of this AGREEMENT and non-confidential information regarding the status of LICENSEE’s commercialization of LICENSED PRODUCTS in a press release, on-line, or otherwise, and on the UNIVERSITY’s website, provided at all times that such press-release or other disclosure is coordinated in advance with LICENSEE and the final draft of such disclosure is approved in writing by LICENSEE.
 
Section 11.04 Assignment. This AGREEMENT is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of UNIVERSITY, its successors and assigns. This AGREEMENT is not assignable by LICENSEE without the prior written consent of UNIVERSITY, provided that LICENSEE may freely assign this AGREEMENT to any third party in connection with the transfer of the entire business or that part of the business to which this AGREEMENT relates, provided that (i) such party shall undertake in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, and (ii) LICENSEE shall give the UNIVERSITY prompt written notice of such assignment.
 
Section 11.05 Sponsored Research. If LICENSEE desires UNIVERSITY participation in performing research and development activities directed towards PATENT RIGHTS, negotiation for such assistance shall be separate and apart from this AGREEMENT, and shall be performed according to UNIVERSITY'S procedures related to research grant and contract activities.
 
Section 11.06 Consulting. In the event LICENSEE wishes to engage the inventors as consultants, such an arrangement shall be separate and apart from this AGREEMENT, but shall be in keeping with UNIVERSITY'S policy on consulting and ownership of intellectual property developed by UNIVERSITY employees.
 
Section 11.07 Notices. Any notice or other communication given under this AGREEMENT (except for correspondence relating to patent preparation, filing, prosecution and/or maintenance matters under Article VII herein) shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered when sent by certified first class mail, registered mail, or overnight courier, or by email or facsimile, provided that a copy of such email or facsimile is promptly sent by certified first class mail, registered or overnight courier, addressed to the PARTIES as follows (or at such other addresses as the PARTIES may notify each other in writing):

No such failure or waiver in writing by any one of the PARTIES hereto with respect to any rights, shall extend to or affect any subsequent breach or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
Section 11.10 Severability. If any sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or is unenforceable or void for any reason whatsoever, such sentence, paragraph, clause or combinations of the same shall be severed from the AGREEMENT and the remainder of the AGREEMENT shall remain binding upon the PARTIES.

LICENSEE irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding. LICENSEE further irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any court that such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
