For clarity, a third party wholesaler or distributor who has no significant responsibility for marketing and promotion of the Licensed Product or Licensed Services within its distribution territory or field (i.e., the third party simply functions as a reseller), and who does not pay any consideration to Licensee or an Affiliate for such wholesale or distributor rights, shall not be deemed a Sublicensee and the resale by such a wholesaler or distributor shall not be treated as royalty bearing Net Sales by a Sublicensee, provided that a royalty is being paid by Licensee for the initial transfer to the wholesaler or distributor pursuant to Section 3.2. This definition does not limit Licensee’s rights to grant or authorize sublicenses under this Agreement.

“Technology Rights” means LLU’s rights in technical information, know-how, processes, procedures, compositions, devices, methods, formulas, protocols, techniques, designs, drawings or data created before the Effective Date by Inventors while employed at LLU and within the Field which are not covered by a Valid Claim but which are necessary for practicing inventions claimed in patents and/or patent applications listed in the definition of Patent Rights.

Confidentiality

8.1

Definition

“Confidential Information” means all information that is of a confidential and proprietary nature to LLU or Licensee and provided by one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) under this Agreement.

8.2

Protection and Marking

All Confidential Information disclosed by Disclosing Party in tangible form, and marked “confidential” and forwarded to the Receiving Party, or if disclosed orally, is designated as confidential at the time of disclosure: (i) is to be held in strict confidence by the Receiving Party, (ii) is to be used by the Receiving Party only as authorized in this Agreement, and (iii) shall not be disclosed by the Receiving Party, its agents or employees without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party or as authorized in this Agreement. Licensee has the right to use and disclose Confidential Information of LLU reasonably in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, including without limitation disclosing to Affiliates, Sublicensees, potential investors, acquirers, and others on a need to know basis, if such Confidential Information is provided under conditions which reasonably protect the confidentiality thereof. The Receiving Party’s obligation of confidence hereunder includes, without limitation, using at least the same degree of care with the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but always at least a reasonable degree of care.

8.3

Confidentiality of Terms of Agreement

Neither Party shall disclose to any third party the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement: (a) to advisors, actual or potential Sublicensees, acquirers or investors, and others on a need to know basis, in each case, under appropriate confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those of this Article 8. LLU may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the Field to other potential third party licensees for uses outside the Field. In addition, LLU may disclose relevant non-financial terms (such as patent prosecution, infringement and litigation obligations) in confidence to other potential third party licensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the existence of this Agreement shall not be considered Confidential Information.

8.4

Disclosure Required by Court Order or Law

If the Receiving Party is required to disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or any terms of this Agreement, pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body or applicable law, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information or terms to the extent required, provided that the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Disclosing Party with reasonable advance notice thereof to enable the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order and otherwise seek to prevent such disclosure. To the extent that Confidential Information so disclosed does not become part of the public domain by virtue of such disclosure, it shall remain Confidential Information protected pursuant to Article 8.

8.5

Copies

The Receiving Party shall not copy or record any of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as reasonably necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement, and for archival and legal purposes.

8.6

Continuing Obligations

Subject to the exclusions listed in Section 8.7, the Parties’ confidentiality obligations under this Agreement will survive termination of this Agreement and will continue for a period of five years thereafter.

8.7

Exclusions

Information shall not be considered Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party under this Agreement to the extent that the Receiving Party can establish by competent written proof that such information:

(a)

Was in the public domain at the time of disclosure; or

(b)

Later became part of the public domain through no act or omission of the Receiving Party, its employees, agents, successors or assigns in breach of this Agreement; or

(c)

Was lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party having the right to disclose such information not under an obligation of confidentiality; or

(d)

Was already known by the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure; or

(e)

Was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

8.8

The placement of a copyright notice on any Confidential Information will not be construed to mean that such information has been published and will not release the other Party from its obligation of confidentiality hereunder.

8.9

No Limitation on LLU’s Publication Rights

Nothing in this Article 8 shall be construed to limit LLU’s reserved right to publish the scientific findings from research related to Licensed Subject Matter, as set forth in Section 2.1(c).

Infringement and Litigation

Notification

If LLU’s office for technology transfer or Licensee becomes aware of any infringement or potential infringement of Patent Rights in the Field, each Party shall promptly notify the other of such in writing.

9.2

Licensee’s Enforcement Rights

Licensee shall enforce the Patent Rights against any infringement by a third party in the Field. Licensee shall provide LLU with written notice of its intent to file an infringement lawsuit at least twenty (20) days before filing. Licensee shall be responsible for payment of all fees and expenses associated with such enforcement incurred by Licensee and incurred by LLU in providing cooperation or joining as a party as provided in Section 9.4. Any monetary recovery for actual damages or punitive or enhanced damages in excess of Licensee’s documented, third-party expenses in enforcing the Patent Rights and amounts actually reimbursed by Licensee to LLU under this Section 9.2 shall be shared by Licensee with LLU as follows: twenty-five percent (25%) of such monetary recovery shall be paid to LLU and seventy-five percent (75%) shall be retained by Licensee.

9.3

LLU’s Enforcement Rights

If Licensee does not file suit within six months after a written request by LLU to initiate an infringement action against an infringer in the Field, then LLU shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to bring suit to enforce any Patent Right licensed hereunder against the infringing activities, with LLU retaining all recoveries from such enforcement. If LLU pursues such infringement action, LLU may, as part of the resolution thereof, grant non-exclusive license rights to the alleged infringer notwithstanding Licensee’s exclusive license rights.

9.4

Cooperation between the Parties

In any infringement suit or dispute, the Parties shall cooperate fully with each other. At the request of the Party bringing suit, the other Party will permit reasonable access, after reasonable advance notice and subject to any confidentiality obligations (including but not limited to restrictions on access to patient information), to all relevant personnel, records, papers, information, samples, specimens, etc., during regular business hours. If it is necessary to name LLU as a party in such action, then Licensee must first obtain LLU’s prior written permission, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that LLU shall have reasonable prior input on choice of counsel on any matter where such counsel represents LLU, and Licensee and such counsel agree to follow all required procedures requested by LLU General Counsel.

10.

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 certifies that it will not, directly or indirectly, export (including any deemed export), or re-export (including any deemed re-export) the Licensed Products and Licensed Services (including any associated products, items, articles, computer software, media, services, technical data, and other information) in violation of applicable U.S. laws and regulations. Licensee will include a provision in its agreements, substantially similar to this Article 10, with its Sublicensees, third party wholesalers and distributors, and physicians, hospitals or other healthcare providers who purchase a Licensed Product, requiring that these parties comply with all then-current applicable U.S. export laws and regulations and other applicable U.S. laws and regulations.
