The License will remain an Exclusive License for so long as D-R sells a minimum of [***] units of the Combined System in each calendar year after the Execution Date (the “Sales Threshold”); provided, that the first calendar year will begin on the Execution Date and will terminate at the end of the next full calendar year (e.g., if the Execution Date of this Agreement is June 1, 2016, the first calendar year for purposes of calculating the Sales Threshold will end on December 31, 2017). [***] (the “Sales Threshold Waiver”).

3.2.1

If the Sales Threshold is not met in any calendar year and is not waived pursuant to the Sales Threshold Waiver described in Section 3.2, D-R will have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to E-C prior to the end of the applicable calendar year, to maintain exclusivity for the License by paying E-C a true-up payment equal to[***] (the “True-Up Payment”). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, in no event will D-R be permitted to maintain the Exclusive License by making a True-Up Payment for more than two consecutive calendar year periods.

3.2.2

If D-R does not meet the Sales Threshold, does not qualify for the Sales Threshold Waiver, and does not elect to pay the True-Up Payment, then the License will convert to a nonexclusive license. In addition, D-R will provide E-C with notice by August 31 of each calendar year of either of the following events: (i) D-R plans to make sales of the Combined System before the end of the then-current calendar year such that it would meet the applicable Sales Threshold; or (ii) if D-R does not expect to meet the Sales Threshold for that particular year, a notice that D-R will either pay or not pay the True-Up Payment for that particular calendar year. Failure by D-R to provide such notice shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

3.6

Sublicense Rights. Other than as expressly provided herein, the licenses granted under Section 3 include the right to grant sublicenses to Affiliates and other contractors solely for the purpose of exercising the rights granted pursuant to such license. In other words, such sublicense rights do not include the general right to sublicense to third parties, but permit sublicenses in order for D-R to effectuate the commercialization, manufacture and sale of Combined Systems.

3.7

Background Intellectual Property. E-C shall have the right to use D-R Background Intellectual Property and D-R shall have the right to use E-C Background Intellectual Property, in each case, only as is necessary to perform such Party’s obligations and exercise such Party’s rights under this Agreement.

3.8

Negative Pledge. E-C shall not, during the Term, without the prior written consent of D-R, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, allow the creation of any encumbrance, lien or pledge of the E-C Intellectual Property which would, upon the enforcement or execution of such encumbrance, lien or pledge by the beneficial holder result in any modification to, revocation of, impairment of, or other adverse effect on D-R’s right to exercise its rights with respect to the Exclusive License.

3.9

Cooperation. Each Party shall take all reasonable actions necessary to evidence, protect, or convey the ownership rights set forth in this Section 3, including but not limited to the acquisition of assignments of any and all Intellectual Property rights from any contractors, subcontractors, employees or any other entity providing services to one or both Parties that results in the development of Intellectual Property rights to be conveyed hereunder.

If either Party believes that any E-C Patent included in the Fundamental Process is being infringed or is being misused by a third party, such Party will promptly notify the other Party of such infringement or misuse. If, within sixty (60) days from the date such notice is received, the Parties agree that action is warranted, the Parties will cooperate in the filing and maintenance of a claim, demand, investigation, suit or other proceeding (an “Action”), as appropriate, regarding such infringement or misuse. Each of the Parties will bear its own internal costs and expenses in connection with the filing and prosecution of such Action, and out-of-pocket fees and expenses will be borne equally by the Parties. With respect to any monetary damages, profits, awards and royalties (“Recovery”) obtained by the Parties in connection with such Action, such Recovery will be allocated to the Parties as follows: firstly, out-of-pocket fees and expenses will be reimbursed to each Party, and then secondly, E-C will receive the remainder of the Recovery.

5.5.2

If either Party declines to participate in, or the Parties are unable to agree on, the filing of an Action within the sixty (60) day period set forth in Section 5.5.1, then the other Party (the “Participating Party”) may proceed in its sole discretion and at its sole expense to file and prosecute such Action for infringement or misuse in its own name or, if required by law, jointly with the other Party and in such event the Participating Party is hereby authorized to take action in the name of the other Party as well; provided however, that if the Participating Party takes action in the name of the other Party, the Participating Party will indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against any and all monetary damages, fines, fees, penalties, obligations, deficiencies, losses and out-of-pocket expenses that the other Party incurs or is subject to directly as a result of such Action. The Participating Party will receive for its sole benefit any damages, profits, awards and royalties recoverable for such infringement or misuse as the result of such Action.

Dispute Resolution.

16.15.1

In the event of any dispute between the Parties relating to this Agreement which has not been resolved after reasonable attempts by either Party to do so, including without limitation any dispute relating to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the performance or non-performance by either Party hereunder, or the amount of any disputed consideration arising hereunder, then, upon the written request of either Party, each of the Parties will appoint a designated executive management representative, whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such dispute. The designated representatives shall meet as often as the Parties reasonably deem necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in issue which the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. Such representatives shall discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding relating thereto. During the course of such negotiation, all reasonable requests made by one Party to the other for information will be honored in order that each of the Parties may be fully advised in the premises of the dispute. The specific format for such discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated representatives but may include the preparation of agreed upon statements of fact or written statements of position furnished to the other Party. Formal proceedings for the resolution of such dispute pursuant to Section 16.15.2 hereof may not be commenced until the earlier to occur of (i) the designated representatives concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter in issue does not appear likely, or (ii) thirty (30) days after the initial request to negotiate such dispute. The Parties hereby waive the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations during such thirty (30) day period and for the thirty (30) days next following. Except where clearly prevented by the area in dispute, both Parties agree to continue performing their respective obligations under this Agreement while the dispute is being resolved unless and until this Agreement expires or is terminated. The provisions of this Section 16.15.1 shall not apply to any actions of the Parties for equitable relief.

16.15.2

Arbitration of Disputes. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, including any anticipated breach or disagreement as to interpretation of this Agreement, which is not resolved pursuant to Section 16.15.1 hereof, shall be settled by arbitration as follows:

(a)

No arbitration governed by this Section 16.15.2 may be commenced until thirty (30) days after the Party wishing to commence an arbitration proceeding shall have given the other Party written notice describing the dispute to be arbitrated. During that thirty (30) days the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute amicably by negotiation. A written request by either Party to resolve a dispute pursuant to Section 16.15.1 hereof shall constitute notice of a dispute for purposes of this Section 16.15.2 (a).

(b)

Except as provided below and to the extent the Parties may otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration under this Section 16.15.2 (the “Arbitration”) shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”) by three arbitrators, none of whom shall be a current or former officer, Manager, or employee of any Party hereto or its Affiliates, selected as provided in the AAA Rules.

(c)

The Arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)

The Arbitration shall take place in New York, New York. The arbitrators may hold individual hearings at any location they deem appropriate.

(e)

The arbitrators shall hold a pre-hearing conference as promptly as possible after the selection of the arbitrators and shall hold the first hearing within thirty (30) days after the selection of the arbitrators. If additional hearings are needed, they shall be held as promptly as possible thereafter, so that all hearings that may be required are concluded within ninety (90) days after the selection of the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall render their award within thirty (30) days after the last hearing.

(f)

The Parties may by written notice to each other and the arbitrators freely specify further controversies or claims to be arbitrated up until the date of the pre-hearing conference. Thereafter, additional controversies or claims may be added only with the consent of the arbitrators.

(g)

The arbitrators may make interim awards and may award equitable and declaratory relief.

(h)

The costs and expenses of the Arbitration (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be borne equally between the Parties.

(i)

The arbitrators shall not consider, nor shall any award include amounts for, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages.

(j)

It shall not be inconsistent with this Section 16.15.2 for either Party to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction interim relief in aid of arbitration or to protect the rights of either Party pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal.

16.16

Export Control. If either Party determines that any information, technology or data that is to be transferred, shared or contributed (collectively a “Transfer”) pursuant to this Agreement is subject to export control restrictions under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations or any other U.S. law or regulation, such Party may withhold such information, technology or data from Transfer without being in violation of this Agreement. In the event of such restrictions, transferring-Party will take reasonable steps to obtain an export license to permit the Transfer, so long as such Transfer would not violate any transferring-Party policy.

16.17

FCPA.

16.17.1

Each Party warrants that it and its Affiliates have not made, offered, or authorized and will not make, offer, or authorize with respect to the matters which are the subject of this Agreement, any payment, gift, promise or other advantage, whether directly or through any other person or entity, to or for the use or benefit of any public official (i.e., any person holding a legislative, administrative or judicial office, including any person employed by or acting on behalf of a public agency, a public enterprise or a public international organization) or any political party or political party official or candidate for office, where such payment, gift, promise or advantage would violate the applicable laws of the United States of America or of any other country in which the Parties are together in business. Each Party shall defend, indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, penalties, costs and expenses arising from or related to, any breach by such first Party of such warranty. Such indemnity obligation shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Each Party shall in good time (i) respond in reasonable detail to any notice from any other Party reasonably connected with the above-stated warranty; and (ii) furnish applicable documentary support for such response upon request from such other Party.

16.17.2

Each Party agrees to (i) maintain adequate internal controls; (ii) properly record and report all transactions; and (iii) comply with the laws referred to in Section 18.17.1 above. Each Party must rely on the other Party’s system of internal controls and on the adequacy of full disclosure of the facts, and of financial and other data provided under this Agreement. No Party is in any way authorized to take any action on behalf of the other Party that would result in an inadequate or inaccurate recording and reporting of assets, liabilities or any other transaction, or which would put such Party in violation of its obligations under the laws applicable to this Agreement. Each Party, at its own expense and upon providing reasonable notice to the other Party, shall have the right to audit the books and records of the other Party to the extent necessary to verify compliance with the provisions of this Section.

16.17.3

In the event of a breach of this Section of the Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement immediately without any further liability or obligation.

16.18
