The royalty obligation for each Royalty Bearing Sale accrues on the earlier of: (a) the first shipment date to an Unaffiliated Third Party; and (b) the date Licensee and any of its Affiliates, or a Sublicensee and any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, receives or has received in aggregate five percent (5%) or more of the monetary amounts or other consideration for the Royalty Bearing Sale.  For avoidance of doubt, Licensee is responsible to Licensor for payment of all royalties due from Royalty Bearing Sales by its Affiliates, and by its Sublicensees and their Affiliates. 


3.2Duration of Royalty Obligations. The obligations to pay royalties pursuant to Section 3.1 commences on the Effective Date, and continues throughout the term of this Agreement and following termination of this Agreement for every Royalty Bearing Sale made by Licensee, its Sublicensees and their Affiliates during the term of this Agreement. 

3.3Accounting for Payments 

3.3.1Royalty Payment Date. Amounts owing to Licensor under this Section 3 shall be paid quarterly, on or before the Royalty Payment Date for all Royalty Bearing Sales in the preceding calendar quarter.

4.2Audits. Licensor shall have the right to appoint an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Licensee to audit the records of Licensee, its Sublicensees and their Affiliates to verify all payments made under Section 3.3 of this Agreement.  The records relevant to each such payment shall be open for audit for a period of six (6) years following the applicable Royalty Payment Date.

Section 5.Ownership; Maintenance; Marketing Efforts

Section 6.Litigation and Administrative Proceedings 

6.1Infringement Notice.  Each Party will promptly notify the other Party in the event that it becomes aware of any Third Party Infringement.  Any action instituted or threatened by a third party requesting a declaratory judgment of non-infringement as to any activity meeting the requirements of a Third Party Infringement, as defined in this Agreement, will be considered a Third Party Infringement for purposes of this Section 6, even if joined with any request for a declaratory judgment that such Exclusively Licensed IP is invalid or unenforceable. 

6.2Rights to Sue. Licensee will have the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring suit to remedy a Third Party Infringement, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2.  In the event Licensee decides to bring suit to remedy a Third Party Infringement, Licensee shall so notify Licensor within thirty (30) days of either Party providing notice to the other Party under Section 6.1 above of the Third Party Infringement.  In the event that Licensee provides notice of its decision to bring suit to remedy the Third Party Infringement within thirty (30) days, Licensor shall have the option, exercisable at Licensor’s sole discretion upon timely notice to Licensee, to join the suit as a co-party with Licensee.  In the event that Licensee does not provide notice of a decision to bring suit to remedy a Third Party Infringement within thirty (30) days, then upon Licensor’s request Licensee agrees to discuss with Licensor the matter of remedying the Third Party Infringement.  If following such discussion, Licensee does not then bring suit to remedy the Third Party Infringement, then thereafter Licensor will have the right  


to bring suit to remedy the Third Party Infringement with Licensee’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.3Conduct of Suit.  The Parties will reasonably cooperate in connection with any suit brought to remedy a Third Party Infringement, or in connection with any other suit involving any Licensed IP, including without limitation by consenting to being joined as a party to satisfy indispensable or required party procedural rules or laws, as well as by assisting in responding to discovery propounded by the adverse party or parties, furnishing records, information and testimony, providing witnesses, and attending conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings and trials and appeals.  The Party bringing suit will have final say on all decisions relating to the suit, while giving reasonable consideration to all suggestions brought to its attention by the other Party, except if Licensor has exercised its option and joined the suit as a co-party with Licensee pursuant to Section 6.2, in which case all such decisions shall be by mutual agreement.  For clarity, the joinder of Licensor in any suit to satisfy indispensable or required party procedural rules or laws shall not be deemed the exercise by Licensor of its option to join any suit as a co-party with Licensee pursuant to Section 6.2 above. 

6.4Settlement and Recovery. The Party bringing suit to remedy a Third Party Infringement will have the right to settle any action or proceeding, or enter into a consent judgment or other voluntary disposition, except if Licensor has exercised its option and joined the suit as a co-party with Licensee pursuant to Section 6.2, in which case any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary disposition shall be by mutual agreement.  If suit is solely brought by Licensee pursuant to Section 6.2, any recovery or damages awarded as a result of such action or proceeding, including by way of settlement, and all responsibilities for costs and liabilities arising from the suit (including attorney fees) will be received and borne by Licensee, subject to a royalty payable to Licensor of one percent (1%) on net proceeds (recovery or damages awarded less costs) greater than zero. If suit is solely brought by Licensor pursuant to Section 6.2, any recovery or damages awarded as a result of such action or proceeding, including by way of settlement, and all responsibilities for costs and liabilities arising from the suit (including attorney fees) will be received and borne solely by Licensor.  If Licensor has exercised its option and joined suit as a co-party with Licensee pursuant to Section 6.2, any and all recovery, damages, costs and liabilities shall be shared equally by the Parties. 

6.5Administrative Proceeding Notification.  Each Party will promptly notify the other Party in the event that it becomes aware of any Administrative Proceeding. 

6.6Conduct of Administrative Proceedings.  Licensee has the final say on all decisions relating to the defense of any Administrative Proceeding, while giving reasonable consideration to all suggestions brought to its attention by the Licensor; provided however, that if the subject of the Administrative Proceeding is a Transport Patent, then in that case Licensee shall also give reasonable consideration to all suggestions brought to its attention by any exclusive licensees under such Transport Patent outside the Building Transport Field.  

6.7Administrative Proceeding Costs. Licensee will bear all costs incurred during the term of this Agreement of the defense of any Administrative Proceeding.  


6.8Further Cooperation.  The Parties will discuss and resolve in a mutually agreeable manner any matter relating to a suit or proceeding involving any Exclusively Licensed IP which is not otherwise provided for in this Section 6.
