Common use of Combination Product Royalty Calculation Clause in Contracts

Combination Product Royalty Calculation. In the event any SUBJECT TECHNOLOGY OR LICENSED PRODUCT is sold, leased or rented as a component of a combination of functional elements or processes (a “COMBINATION PRODUCT”), the NET SALES price for purposes of determining royalty payments on such COMBINATION PRODUCT shall be calculated by multiplying the NET SALES price of such combination by the fraction A over A+B, in which “A” is the GROSS SALES, lease or rental price of the SUBJECT TECHNOLOGY OR LICENSED PRODUCT portion of the COMBINATION PRODUCT when sold, leased or rented separately during the calendar quarter in which the sale, lease or rental was made, and “B” is the GROSS SALES, lease or rental price of the non-SUBJECT TECHNOLOGY portion of the COMBINATION PRODUCT sold, leased or rented separately during the calendar quarter in question. If A or B cannot be determined by reference to SALES as described above, then NET SALES for purposes of determining royalty payments will be calculated as above, but the GROSS SALES, lease or rental price in the above equation shall be determined by mutual agreement reached in good faith by the PARTIES prior to the end of the accounting period in question based on an equitable method of determining the same that takes into account, in the applicable country, the relative fair market value of each component in the COMBINATION PRODUCT. If the PARTIES are unable to reach such an agreement prior to the end of the applicable accounting period, or one hundred eighty (180) days, whichever is earlier, then the PARTIES will refer such matter to a jointly selected third party with expertise in the pricing of such products that is not an employee, consultant, AFFILIATE, legal advisor, officer, director or stockholder of, and does not have any conflict of interest with respect to, either PARTY for prompt resolution, and the PARTIES hereby agree to be bound by such third party-determined resolution. If said third party expert is deemed necessary, the PARTIES agree to share equally in the cost to obtain the services of the jointly selected third party for the limited purpose of pricing the royalty owed to WVURC for the SUBJECT TECHNOLOGY portion of a COMBINATION PRODUCT.
