VI. PAYMENTS AND REPORTS -------------------- 6.1 Subject to Section 6.1(g) of this AGREEMENT, in consideration of rights granted by BOARD to LICENSEE under this AGREEMENT, LICENSEE agrees to pay BOARD the following: (a) A PHASE II TRIAL COMPLETION milestone payment of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) payable within thirty (30) days of the earlier of: (i) February 1, 2001, or (ii) PHASE II TRIAL COMPLETION. (b) A milestone payment for COMMERCIAL INTRODUCTION of each LICENSED PRODUCT in the amount of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) payable to BOARD within thirty (30) days of COMMERCIAL INTRODUCTION of the LICENSED PRODUCT. All COMMERCIAL INTRODUCTION milestone payments shall be credited against royalty payments due under Section 6.1 on a LICENSED PRODUCT-by-LICENSED PRODUCT basis. 10 (c) A running earned royalty equal to four percent (4%) of NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS incorporating COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS. In the event any LICENSED PRODUCT incorporating COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS is SOLD as a component of a combination of active elements, NET SALES for purposes of determining royalty payments on such combination shall be calculated by multiplying NET SALES of such combination by the fraction A over A+B, in which "A" is the gross selling price of the LICENSED PRODUCT portion of the combination when SOLD separately during the accounting period in which the SALE was made, and "B" is the gross selling price of the non-LICENSED PRODUCT portion of the combination SOLD separately during the accounting period in question. In the event that no separate SALE of either such above-designated LICENSED PRODUCT or such above-designated non-LICENSED PRODUCT portion of the combination is made during the accounting period in which the SALE was made, NET SALES shall be calculated by multiplying NET SALES of such combination by the fraction C over C+D, in which "C" is the standard fully-absorbed cost of the LICENSED PRODUCT portion of such combination, and "D" is the standard fully absorbed cost of the other component(s), such costs being arrived at using the standard accounting procedures of LICENSEE which will be in accord with generally accepted accounting practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the royalty provided for in this Section 6.1(c) be reduced to less than two percent (2%) of NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS incorporating COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS. No royalties shall be payable to BOARD under this Section 6.1(c) with respect to SALES for which a royalty has been paid under the PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT. 11 (d) A running earned royalty equal to one percent (1%) of NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS covered by COAGULATION TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS only. No royalty shall be payable to BOARD under this Section 6.1(d) with respect to SALES for which a royalty is has been paid under Section 6.1(c) or under the PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT. (e) Twenty percent (20%) of the SUBLICENSEE GROSS REVENUES of SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS; provided, however, if a LICENSED PRODUCT is sublicensed and incorporates technology not covered by COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS, the running royalty to be paid under this Section 6.1(e) shall be reduced to ten percent (10%) of SUBLICENSEE GROSS REVENUES of SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS. In the event any LICENSED PRODUCT incorporating COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS is sublicensed as a component of a combination of active elements, SUBLICENSEE GROSS REVENUES of SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS for purposes of determining royalty payments on such combination shall be calculated by multiplying SUBLICENSEE GROSS REVENUES of SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS of such combination by the fraction A over A+B, in which "A" is the gross selling price of the LICENSED PRODUCT portion of the combination when SOLD separately during the accounting period in which the SALE was made, and "B" is the gross selling price of the non-LICENSED PRODUCT portion of the combination SOLD separately during the accounting period in question. In the event that no separate SALE of either such above-designated LICENSED PRODUCT or such above-designated non-LICENSED PRODUCT portion of the combination is made during the accounting period in which the SALE was made, SUBLICENSEE GROSS REVENUES of SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS shall be calculated by multiplying SUBLICENSEE GROSS REVENUES of SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS of such combination by the fraction C over C+D, in which "C" is the standard fully-absorbed cost of the LICENSED PRODUCT 12 portion of such combination, and "D" is the standard fully absorbed cost of the other component(s), such costs being arrived at using the standard accounting procedures of LICENSEE which will be in accord with generally accepted accounting practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the royalty provided for in this Section 6.1(e) be reduced to less than ten percent (10%) of SUBLICENSEE GROSS REVENUES of SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS incorporating COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS. No royalties shall be payable to BOARD under this Section 6.1(e) with respect to SALES for which a royalty has been paid under the PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT. (f) The parties hereto agree that if economic or political conditions change sufficiently so as to affect the continued applicability of the assumptions made in negotiating the dates of the milestone payments agreed to in this Section 6.1, they will negotiate in good faith a reasonable extension of the dates of such milestone payments in accordance with such changed economic or political conditions. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) the amount payable by LICENSEE pursuant to Section 6.1(a) of this AGREEMENT is a one-time license fee payable by LICENSEE only with respect to the first LICENSED PRODUCT of LICENSEE and (ii) no amounts shall be paid by LICENSEE pursuant to such Sections to the extent that such payments have been made by LICENSEE under the PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT. 6.2 During the term of this AGREEMENT and for one (1) year thereafter, LICENSEE shall keep complete and accurate records of its SALES and NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS and all SUBLICENSEE GROSS REVENUES received by LICENSEE under the license granted in this AGREEMENT in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined. LICENSEE shall permit BOARD or its 13 representatives, at BOARD's expense, to periodically examine its books, ledgers, and records during regular business hours for the purposes of and to the extent necessary to verify any report required under this AGREEMENT. If any such inspection reveals that the aggregate of royalties paid during any four (4) consecutive calendar quarters was less than the amount that should have been paid under this AGREEMENT, LICENSEE shall remit to BOARD the amount of such deficiency; provided, that, if such deficiency is more than five percent (5%) of the amount that should have been paid, LICENSEE shall remit to BOARD, in addition to the amount of such deficiency, the reasonable expenses of the inspection conducted by BOARD. If LICENSEE or BOARD disputes any deficiency or expenses provided in this Section 6.2, the dispute shall be referred to an independent accountant selected by mutual agreement of BOARD and LICENSEE, whose decision will be binding and final on the parties hereto. If a decision is entered against LICENSEE by such independent accountant for the amount of such deficiency or expenses, LICENSEE agrees to remit to BOARD, in addition to any other amounts provided for in this Section 6.2, accrued interest on such deficiency through the date of such decision at the highest allowable rate. 6.3 Within forty-five (45) days after March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, LICENSEE shall deliver to BOARD a true and accurate report which shall describe (a) the quantities of LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER that it has produced; (b) the total SALES; (c) the calculation of royalties thereon; and (d) the total royalties so computed and due. Simultaneously with the delivery of each such report, LICENSEE shall pay to BOARD the amount, if any, due for the period covered by such report. If no payments are due, it shall be so reported. 14 6.4 Upon the request of BOARD but not more often than once per calendar year, LICENSEE shall deliver to BOARD a written report as to LICENSEE's efforts and accomplishments during the preceding year in commercializing LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER in various parts of the LICENSED TERRITORY and its commercialization plans for the upcoming year. 6.5 All amounts payable hereunder by LICENSEE shall be payable in United States funds without deductions for taxes, assessments, fees, or charges of any kind. Checks shall be made payable to UT SOUTHWESTERN and sent to: UT Southwestern Medical Center Office for Technology Transfer Development 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard Dallas, Texas 75235-9094 Attn: Ray Wheatley VII.

LICENSEE may, after the effective date of such termination, SELL all LICENSED PRODUCT and parts therefor that it may have on hand at the date of termination, provided that it pays running royalty earned thereon as provided in this AGREEMENT. VIII. INFRINGEMENT BY THIRD PARTIES ----------------------------- 8.1 Each party shall inform the other promptly in writing of any alleged infringement of the COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS by a third party, including all details then available. LICENSEE shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense any such infringements, and BOARD agrees that LICENSEE may join BOARD as a plaintiff at the expense of 16 LICENSEE. If any infringement action commenced or defended solely by LICENSEE, all expenses and all recovery for infringement shall be those of LICENSEE. In any such action by LICENSEE, BOARD shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the applicable royalties on any recovery of profits and damages that is in excess of LICENSEE's reasonable costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, actual costs and expenses incurred to non-affiliated accountants, lawyers and consultants. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit may be entered into without BOARD's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 8.2 If LICENSEE has not commenced legal action or been successful in obtaining cessation of the infringement within ninety (90) days of written notification from BOARD of such infringement, or if LICENSEE elects not to continue prosecuting any legal action against an infringer, BOARD shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense any such infringement. BOARD may join LICENSEE as a plaintiff in any such infringement suit at BOARD's expense. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit may be entered into without LICENSEE's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 8.3 In the event that LICENSEE and/or BOARD do not file suit against, conclude settlement negotiations with, or grant a license to a substantial infringer of COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS within one (1) year of knowledge thereof, then the parties will consult with one another in an effort to determine whether a reasonably prudent licensee would institute litigation, conclude settlement negotiations, and/or grant a license within the one (1) year time period described above in order to enforce the patent in question in light of all relevant business and economic factors (including, but not limited to, the projected cost of such litigation, the likelihood of success on the merits, the probable amount of any damage award, the prospects for satisfaction of any 17 judgment against the alleged infringer, the possibility of counterclaims against LICENSEE and BOARD, the diversion of LICENSEE's human and economic resources, the impact of any possible adverse outcome on LICENSEE, and the effect any publicity might have on the respective reputations and goodwill of the parties). If after such consultation, the parties have not reached agreement and LICENSEE does not forthwith file suit against, enter into settlement negotiations with or grant a license to the substantial infringer, then BOARD shall have the right to enforce any COAGULATION PATENT RIGHT, licensed hereunder on behalf of itself and LICENSEE (BOARD retaining all recoveries from such enforcement), and BOARD shall have the right to reduce the license granted hereunder to nonexclusive in the national jurisdiction in which suit is brought. 8.4 If any infringement suit that either party brings to enforce the COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS, the other party shall at the request and expense of the party bringing the suit, cooperate in all reasonable respects, including, to the extent possible, obtaining the testimony of its employees and agents and making available physical evidence in the possession of that party. IX. ASSIGNMENT ---------- This AGREEMENT shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by LICENSEE without the prior written consent of BOARD, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that LICENSEE may assign or otherwise transfer its rights under this AGREEMENT to the following parties without obtaining BOARD's consent: (i) a successor to LICENSEE's business, or a successor to that portion of LICENSEE's business that pertains to the subject matter of the COAGULATION PATENT RIGHTS or any COAGULATION TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS, and (ii) any entities controlled by, controlling, or under common control with LICENSEE. 18 X.
