With respect to any Licensed Product sold, the Royalty Payment shall accrue on the date when the Licensed Product is paid for. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the aggregate Royalty Payments exceed Twenty-five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000).

10.3 $15 Million Dollar Milestone. If (and only if) the sum of all Royalty Payments made by Licensee to Licensor on or prior to the fifth (5th) year anniversary of the Effective Date is less than Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars ($15,000,000), then Licensor and Licensee shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days following the fifth (5^th) year anniversary of the Effective Date as to whether Licensee will have the right to continue to license the Licensed Mark and thereby pay the Royalty Payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Licensee and Dragonfly are unable to come to a resolution after good faith negotiations during such thirty (30) day period, either Licensor or Licensee may terminate this Agreement unless Licensee irrevocably agrees in writing (to be executed by Licensee’s Chief Financial Officer or Representative of similar seniority), in its sole discretion, that Licensee will (a) pay Twenty-five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000) in aggregate Royalty Payments on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Effective Date or (b) irrespective of the amount of sales of Licensed Product, make a payment within ninety (90) days of the seventh (7th) year anniversary of the Effective Date equal to the difference between (x) Twenty-five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000) less (y) the aggregate amount of Royalty Payments made by Licensor in respect of the period from the Effective Date through the seventh (7th) year anniversary of the Effective Date.

(b) If the sum of all Royalty Payments made by Licensee on or prior to the date that is [***] ([***]) days after the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Effective Date is less than Twenty-five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000), then Licensee shall have the option to either (x) pay to Licensor the difference of Twenty-five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000.00) less the aggregate Royalty Payments paid by Licensee during the period beginning on the Effective Date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is [***] ([***]) days after the seventh (7^th) year anniversary of the Effective Date (in which case this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and Licensee will pay to Licensor the Quarterly Licensing Fee thereafter), or (y) elect to continue paying the Royalty Payment quarterly as set forth in Section 10.2 until Twenty-five Million U.S. Dollar ($25,000,000.00) threshold is reached and thereafter, pay the Quarterly Licensing Fee.

10.5 Taxes. All sums payable under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and must be paid free and clear of all deductions and withholdings whatsoever, unless the deduction or withholding is required by Law. If any deduction or withholding is required by Law, Licensee shall (a) pay to Licensor such sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave Licensor with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding, and (b) reasonably promptly following making the deduction or withholding, provide a statement in writing showing the gross amount of the payment, the amount of the sum deducted and the actual amount paid.

The Licensor and Licensee shall use good faith efforts to resolve any such dispute reasonably promptly following Licensee providing Licensor notice of such dispute.

10.7 Late Payments. In the event Licensor does not receive payments due under this Agreement by the due date (other than those disputed in accordance with Section 10.6), Licensee shall pay to Licensor interest on the overdue payment (other than payments disputed in accordance with Section 10.6) from the date such payment was due to the date of actual payment at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or if lower, the maximum amount permitted under Law, plus any reasonable attorneys’ fees (if any) incurred by Licensor in connection with the collection of any such amounts not paid when due.

If any such inspection or audit shows that any payment is deficient, (a) Licensee shall reasonably promptly pay Licensor the deficient amount, including interest calculated in accordance with Section 10.7 and (b) if such payment is found deficient by more than five percent (5%), Licensee shall bear the cost of the audit or inspection, in each case of subparts (a) and (b), unless Licensee disputes such finding in good faith, in which case Licensee will be afforded reasonable time (in any event not to exceed thirty (30) days) to conduct its own inspection and audit to verify such deficient payments. If any such audit or inspection shows that payments made by Licensee are in excess of the required payment, Licensor shall pay Licensee the excess amount reasonably promptly. Such inspection and audit right of Licensor shall remain in effect solely during the Term and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement.

11. No Repayment. If this Agreement is terminated, Licensor shall not be required to repay any monies previously paid by Licensee to Licensor pursuant to this Agreement.

12. Confidentiality.

The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by applicable Law, including pursuant to the terms of a court order; provided that the Receiving Party has given the Disclosing Party prior written notice of such disclosure (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law or court order) and an opportunity to contest such disclosure and to seek a protective order or other remedy. The Receiving Party shall: (i) protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as the Receiving Party would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care; (ii) not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or permit it to be accessed or used, for any purpose other than to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) not disclose any such Confidential Information to any Person, except to the Receiving Party’s Representatives who are bound by written confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as those set forth herein and have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information to assist the Receiving Party, or act on its behalf, to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

15.2 Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a) by Licensor upon written notice to Licensee, if

(i) (x) Licensee fails to pay the Royalty Payments in accordance with this Agreement (other than those disputed in accordance with Section 10.6), (y) Licensor uses reasonable efforts to discuss such overdue payments with Licensee’s Chief Financial Officer (or such other appropriate Licensee Representative as may be communicated to Licensor by Licensee in writing) and (z) such Royalty Payments remain in default for thirty (30) days or more after being notified in writing by Licensor that Licensor intends to terminate the Agreement if such Royalty Payment is not paid because such payment is overdue; or

(ii) Licensee materially breaches this Agreement (other than failure to pay amounts due under this Agreement) and Licensee fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of being notified in writing to do so by Licensor or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, then Licensee shall commence curing the breach within thirty (30) days and diligently pursue such cure thereafter; provided, however, that Licensor shall not have the right to terminate this agreement pursuant to this Section 15.2(a) if Licensor is then in material breach of this Agreement;

(b) by Licensee, if Licensor or Dragonfly materially breaches this Agreement and (if such breach is curable) Licensor or Dragonfly (as applicable) fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of being notified in writing to do so by Licensee or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, then Licensor shall commence curing the breach within thirty (30) days and diligently pursue such cure thereafter; provided, however, that Licensee shall not have the right to terminate this agreement pursuant to this Section 15.2(b) if Licensee is then in material breach of this Agreement; or

(d) If any Insolvency Event (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of Licensor (a “Licensor Insolvency Event”) or in respect of Licensee (a “Licensee Insolvency Event”), then Licensee (in the case of a Licensor Insolvency Event) or Licensor (in the case of a Licensee Insolvency Event), respectively, has the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Licensor or Licensee, respectively; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event specified in clause (ii) the subject of which Insolvency Event is the Licensee (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor), this Agreement shall immediately and automatically terminate without declaration, notice or any other action, unless the Licensor gives notice to the Licensee within 15 days after the occurrence of the applicable Insolvency Event that it elects that this Agreement shall continue and not terminate. “Insolvency Event” means that either Licensor or Licensee, as applicable, (i) becomes insolvent or admits its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (ii) becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law, which is not fully stayed within fifteen (15) business days or is not dismissed or vacated within forty-five (45) days after filing; (iii) is dissolved or liquidated or takes any corporate action for such purpose; (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (v) has a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business.

No Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without the other Parties prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving a Party (regardless of whether such Party is a surviving or disappearing entity) or sale of all or substantially all the assets or business of such Party to which this Agreement relates will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under this Agreement for which the other Parties’ prior written consent is not required, provided that, in each case, the successor entity to which this Agreement is assigned expressly agrees to be bound by this Agreement and all other related agreements between the Parties. No delegation or other transfer will relieve a Party of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 18 is null and void. Except as permitted in a transaction permitted by Section 5 (including without limitation in connection with any Excluded Transaction under the right of first refusal provisions attached as Exhibit C to this Agreement) and Section 6, the Licensed Mark and the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement, the Transfer and License-Back Agreement and all other related agreements between the Parties may not be separately assigned or otherwise transferred, in whole or in part.
