LICENSOR represents that LICENSOR is a non-U.S. resident for U.S. income tax purposes, acknowledges that LICENSOR may recognize U.S. source compensation income based on the number of work days spent in U.S. pursuant to this Agreement, and that double taxation may occur depending on the laws of LICENSOR’s country of residence, and further acknowledges that Pool Cooled shall comply with any applicable U.S. legal requirements for withholding with regards to the payment of compensation and royalties under this Agreement.
| 5.2 | The Parties anticipate that, after completion of an operable prototype that provides proof of concept for at least one Product utilizing one of the Technologies, LICENSEE will form a wholly owned subsidiary for the purpose of commercializing the Products and the Technologies, to be named “Pool Cooled Technologies, Inc.” (“Pool Cooled Technologies”). |
5.3 For the rights granted hereunder, LICENSEE shall pay or cause to be paid to LICENSOR a royalty on Net Cost of Goods of Products, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, where the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of such Product by LICENSEE in such country is Covered by a Valid Claim, as per the following table:
| Product | Royalty |
| All Products | 10% |

Such records shall be open to inspection at reasonable times by a certified public accountant chosen by LICENSOR and acceptable to LICENSEE, which shall not unreasonably withhold such acceptance. Such inspection shall be made at LICENSOR’s expense. However, if the results of any audit reveal additional royalties owed to LICENSOR that differ by more the 5% (Five percent) from those royalties already paid, LICENSEE shall also reimburse LICENSOR for the costs of the audit. LICENSOR agrees to hold such records confidential, except as may be necessary to maintain an action against LICENSEE for breach of this Agreement. The records required by this paragraph shall be maintained and available for inspection for a period of 5 years following the calendar quarter to which they pertain. This paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 6: INFRINGEMENT
| 6.1 | In the event that either Party determines that a third party is making, using or selling a product that may infringe Patents, it will promptly notify the other Party in writing. LICENSEE may, in LICENSEE’s sole discretion, elect to bring suit against such alleged infringer. All recoveries in such suit shall belong to LICENSEE except that LICENSOR shall have the right to elect to pay up to fifty percent (50%) of the litigation costs and receive a percentage of any recovery equal to the percentage of litigation costs paid. LICENSOR must make such election within 60 days after its receipt of notice that LICENSEE has elected to bring suit. LICENSOR shall also have the right to choose to be represented by separate counsel in any such suit at its own expense. Such expense for separate counsel shall not be considered as part of “litigation costs” for purposes of determining LICENSOR’s share of any recovery in accordance with the sentence above. If LICENSEE elects not to bring a suit against the alleged infringer, it shall promptly notify LICENSOR of that fact and LICENSOR shall have the right to commence such actions at its own cost and expense, in which case any recoveries shall belong to LICENSOR. In such suits by LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall have rights of participation and recovery that are the same as LICENSOR’s rights as provided above when LICENSEE elects to ▇▇▇. |
