7.5 Recall
7.5.1 Any necessary recall of Product or any batch of Product from the market in the Territory shall be effected by GS at GS’s reasonable discretion following, to the extent practicable, consultation with LGLS. Upon any Product recall, any then-pending orders of Product pursuant to Article 5, above, shall be suspended until the reinstatement of the Product or revocation of the recall.

ARTICLE 8
PATENT RIGHTS
8.1 LGLS Patents and GLAXO Patents. (a) During the term of this Agreement, LGLS shall diligently maintain the LGLS Patents and the GLAXO Patents in the Territory and shall use reasonable efforts to convert any currently pending or future filed patent applications into granted patents without undue delay. LGLS shall use patent counsel selected by LGLS and reasonably approved by GS for such prosecution and maintenance and LGLS shall bear all related Patent Expenses. GS shall cooperate fully with LGLS in all such matters, at GS’s expense.
(b) LGLS shall promptly disclose to GS the text of all LGLS Patents filed after the Effective Date as well as all information received after the Effective Date concerning the institution or possible institution of any interference, opposition, re-examination, reissue, revocation, nullification or any official proceeding involving an LGLS Patent or GLAXO Patent any where in the Territory. GS shall have the right to review all such pending applications and other proceedings and make recommendations to LGLS with respect thereto. LGLS shall keep
15
GS promptly and fully informed of the course of patent prosecution and other proceedings and shall provide GS with copies of all substantive communications, search reports and Third Party observations submitted to or received from patent offices throughout the Territory. All such disclosures shall be considered “Confidential Information” subject to Article 6, above.
8.2 Abandonment.LGLS shall be free, on at least 30 days’ prior notice to GS, to abandon and stop funding Patent Expenses related to any of the LGLS Patents in any country in the Territory. In such event, GS may, at its sole option, assume and continue prosecution or maintenance of the LGLS Patents and GLAXO Patents in question, and shall thereafter bear all related Patent Expenses. Following such abandonment of a LGLS Patent by LGLS, LGLS shall have no further rights hereunder with respect to the LGLS Patent in question to the extent of such abandonment, and the term “LGLS Patents” shall be deemed to have been modified accordingly. LGLS shall not abandon any GLAXO Patent nor stop funding Patent Expenses related thereto without the prior consent of GS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
8.3 Infringement. If either Party learns of an infringement or threatened infringement of the LGLS Patents or GLAXO Patents in the Territory in the Field it shall promptly notify the other Party and shall provide the latter Party with all information reasonably available to the notifying Party evidencing such infringement or threatened infringement. Thereafter, the Parties shall in good faith consult and cooperate in abating such infringement or threatened infringement.
GS shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, defend and maintain any appropriate suit or action for abatement of the infringement or threatened infringement of the LGLS or GLAXO Patents in the Territory and in the Field, at GS’s sole expense. If GS requests LGLS to join GS as a party in such suit or action, LGLS shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably requested by GS, at GS’s expense. LGLS shall have the right to participate in any such suit or action using independent counsel, at its sole expense. Any amount recovered by GS as a result of such suit or action shall first be applied to reimburse each of the Parties, pro rata, for any costs or expenses incurred in bringing, defending and maintaining any such action. The balance (the “Net Recovery”) shall be for the sole benefit of GS. The Net Recovery shall be considered “Net Sales” with respect to the calendar quarter in which payment to GS was received, and royalties shall accordingly be paid on the amount of the Net Recovery exclusively at the rate(s) specified in Section 10.3, below. The Net Recovery shall be considered “Net Sales” for purposes of calculating annual Net Sales in accordance with Milestone 3 and in Section 10.2, below.
If GS fails to initiate suit or action within 90 days after first notice of infringement or threatened infringement of the LGLS Patents or the GLAXO Patents, or if having initiated such suit or action it thereafter diligently fails to prosecute such suit or action, LGLS shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, defend and maintain any appropriate suit or action for abatement of the infringement or threatened infringement, at LGLS’s sole expense. If LGLS requests GS to join LGLS as a party in such suit or action, GS shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably requested by LGLS, at LGLS’s expense. GS shall
16
have the right to participate in any such suit or action using independent counsel, at its sole expense. Any amount recovered by LGLS as a result of such suit or action shall first be applied to reimburse each of the Parties, pro rata, for any costs or expenses incurred in bringing, defending and maintaining any such action. The balance shall be divided equally between the Parties. The amount of any recovery, net of the amounts necessary to reimburse the Parties as provided above shall be considered “Net Sales” for purposes of calculating annual Net Sales in accordance with Milestones 3 and in Section 10.2, below. If such recovery is apportioned by the court such that portions thereof are attributed to infringing activity in different calendar years, or if such apportionment of the recovery can otherwise be readily ascertained, then such apportionment shall govern as to the calendar year(s) in which Net Sales shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of such Milestones. Otherwise, the amount of such recovery shall be apportioned equally over the number of calendar years in which infringement was found to have occurred (or in the event of a settlement, over the number of calendar years in which it was alleged to have occurred).
8.4 Third Party Claims. If a Third Party asserts that a patent or other right owned by it is infringed by the development, manufacture, import, use, sale or offer for sale of a Product by GS or its Affiliates or sub-licensees in the Territory in the Field, the Party first obtaining knowledge of such claim shall immediately provide the other Party notice of such claim and the related facts in reasonable detail. In such event, the Parties shall determine how best to control the defense of any such claim. In the event the Parties cannot agree on the defense of such claim, such defense shall be controlled by GS with respect to sales of Product in the Territory and by LGLS with respect to Product sales outside of the Territory. In each such case, the other Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in such defense and to be represented in any such action by counsel of its choice at its sole discretion. With respect to any such claim, the Party entitled to control defense shall also have the right to control settlement of such claim; provided, however, that no settlement shall be entered into without the written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.
8.5 Ownership. Subject to Section 9.2, below, each Party shall have and retain sole and exclusive title to all inventions, discoveries and know-how which are made, conceived, reduced to practice or generated solely by its employees or agents in the course of or as a result of this Agreement. Each Party shall own an equal undivided interest in all such inventions, discoveries and know-how made, conceived, reduced to practice or generated jointly by the employees or agents of one Party and the employees or agents of the other Party.

9.7*****. In the event that LGLS proposes to grant commercial rights in the Territory with respect to ***** to a Third Party, it shall first offer such rights to GS on definitive terms. GS shall have 30 days after receipt of such offer to accept, failing which LGLS shall be free to offer such rights to a Third Party on overall terms and conditions no more favorable to such Third Party than those offered to GS. In the event that LGLS proposes to develop and commercialize ***** in the Territory directly or in a collaboration with a Third Party, it shall notify GS.

In no event shall any such royalty reductions in any calendar quarter be more than ***** percent of the royalty payment due to LGLS with respect to such calendar quarter in a given country. Any royalty reduction to which GS would otherwise be entitled may be carried forward by GS and used by GS in a future period (subject to the maximum reductions specified in this Section 10.5).
10.6 Royalties Payable Only Once; Sales to Affiliates and Sub-Licensees. The obligation to pay royalties is imposed only once with respect to the same unit of each Product. Sales of Products between GS and its Affiliates or sub-licensees, or among such Affiliates and sub-licensees, shall not be subject to royalties under Sections 10.3 but in such cases the royalties shall be calculated on the Net Sales by such Affiliates or sub-licensees to Third Parties.
10.7 Reports. GS shall deliver to LGLS, within 60 days after the end of each calendar quarter, reasonably detailed written accountings of Net Sales that are subject to royalty payments due to LGLS for such calendar quarter. Such quarterly reports shall indicate gross sales on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis. When GS delivers such reports to LGLS, GS shall also deliver all royalty payments due to LGLS hereunder for such calendar quarter.
10.8 Accounting and Audits.
(a) GS shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and sub-licensees to keep, complete and accurate records of the latest five years of sales of Products on which royalties are due hereunder. For the purpose of verifying royalties due to LGLS hereunder, LGLS shall have the right annually, at LGLS’s expense, to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by LGLS and reasonably acceptable to GS, to review such records in the location(s) where such records are maintained by GS, its Affiliates or its sub-licensees upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours and under obligations of confidence. Results of such review shall be made available to both LGLS and GS. If the review reflects an underpayment of royalties to LGLS such underpayment shall be promptly remitted to LGLS, together with interest at LIBOR plus ***** percent. If the underpayment of royalties is equal to or greater than ***** percent, then GS pay all of the costs of such review.
(b) LGLS shall keep complete and accurate records of the latest five years of supply hereunder sufficient to enable GS to confirm LGLS’s cost of goods.

Results of such review shall be made available to both LGLS and GS. If the review reflects an overcharge by LGLS, such overcharge shall be promptly remitted to GS, together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 10.9, below. If the amount of such overcharge is equal to or greater than ***** percent, then LGLS pay all of the costs of such review. If the review reflects an

10.9 Currency and Method of Payment. All payments due or payable hereunder shall be made in US Dollars, delivered by wire transfer to such account as LGLS may identify from time to time on notice to GS. Royalty payments due hereunder with respect to sales not denominated in US Dollars shall be converted using the applicable conversion rates quoted in the Wall Street Journalfor buying US Dollars in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. GS shall pay interest to LGLS on the amount of any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate of LIBOR plus ***** percent for the applicable period, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent.
10.10 Tax Withholding. The Parties shall use all reasonable and legal efforts to reduce tax withholding on payments made to LGLS hereunder. Notwithstanding such efforts, if GS concludes that tax withholdings under the laws of any country are required with respect to payments due to LGLS, GS shall withhold the required amount and pay it to the appropriate governmental authority. In such a case, GS will promptly provide LGLS with original receipts or other evidence reasonably desirable and sufficient to allow LGLS to document such tax withholdings adequately for purposes of claiming foreign tax credits and similar benefits. No withholding deduction shall be made if LGLS furnishes lawful documentation demonstrating that the payment due is exempt from withholding according to the applicable convention for the avoidance of double taxation between the United States and the Republic of Korea or other applicable law or treaty.
10.11 Blocked Payments. If, by reason of applicable laws or regulations in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for GS or its Affiliates or sub-licensees to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, royalties or other payments due hereunder to LGLS, such royalties or other payments shall be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of LGLS in a recognized banking institution designated by LGLS or, if none is designated by LGLS within a period of 30 days after inquiry from GS, in a recognized banking institution selected by GS and identified by notice to LGLS.

(a) The information disclosed to GS during the course of its “due diligence” review of materials related to the Product was true and correct and, through the Effective Date, no material information has been omitted from the “due diligence” disclosures made to GS by LGLS.
(b) No litigation exists or is threatened which would, if successful, adversely affect the rights granted to GS hereunder.

(g) The information submitted to the Regulatory Authorities with respect to the Product is true and correct.
(h) It has disclosed to GS the complete texts of all of the LGLS Patents and the GLAXO Patents existing as of the Effective Date as well as all information known to LGLS as of the Effective Date concerning the institution or possible institution of any interference, opposition, re-examination, reissue, revocation, nullification or any official proceeding involving any of the LGLS Patents or GLAXO Patents any where in the Territory.

16.2 Force Majeure. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Party shall lose any rights hereunder or be liable to the other Party for damages or losses on account of failure of performance by the defaulting Party if the failure is occasioned by government action, war, acts of gods, or any other similar or dissimilar cause beyond the control of the defaulting Party, provided that the Party claiming force majeure has exerted all reasonable efforts to avoid or remedy such force majeure.
