NET SALES under the license granted in this AGREEMENT in sufficient detail to
enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined. LICENSEE agrees to
permit BOARD or its representatives, at BOARD'S expense and with 14 days written
notice, to periodically examine its books, ledgers, and records during regular
business hours for the purpose of and to the extent necessary to verify any
report required under this AGREEMENT. If the amounts due to BOARD are determined

overdue amounts with accrued interest at the highest allowable rate.
5.4 Within 30 days after March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of
each year of the valid term of this AGREEMENT, beginning immediately after the
EFFECTIVE DATE, LICENSEE must deliver to BOARD a true and accurate written report,
even if no payments are due BOARD, giving the particulars of the business conducted
by LICENSEE and its sublicensee(s), if any exist, during the preceding 3 calendar
months under this AGREEMENT as are pertinent to calculating payments hereunder.
Such reports will be on a per-country and per-product basis and presented substantially

for the upcoming year.
5.6 All amounts payable here by LICENSEE must be paid in United States dollars
without deductions for taxes, assessments, fees, or charges of any kind. Royalties
accruing on SALES in countries other than the United States must be paid in
United States dollars in amounts based on the rate of exchange as quoted in

If the WSJ does not publish any such rate, a comparable rate publication will
be agreed upon from time to time by the parties, and with respect to each country
for which such rate is not published by the WSJ or in a comparable publication,
the parties will use the prevailing rate for bank cable transfers for such date,
as quoted by leading United States banks in New York City dealing in the foreign
exchange market.
5.7 All payments must be payable to UT SOUTHWESTERN and sent to the address
listed in Paragraph 15.2.

the license granted hereunder by LICENSEE, its AFFILIATES or their officers,
employees, agents or representatives.
10.2 In no event will BOARD be liable for any indirect, special, consequential
or punitive damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits
or expected savings or other economic losses, or for injury to persons or property)
arising out of or in connection with this AGREEMENT or its subject matter, regardless
of whether BOARD knows or should know of the possibility of such damages. BOARD'S
aggregate liability for all damages of any kind relating to this AGREEMENT or
its subject matter will not exceed the amounts paid by LICENSEE to BOARD under
this AGREEMENT during the one year period preceding the date of the event which

to all claims and actions of any kind, whether based on contract, tort (including,

per incident and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, and LICENSEE will use reasonable
efforts to have the BOARD, SYSTEM, UT SOUTHWESTERN, its officers, employees
and agents named as additional insureds. Such commercial general liability insurance
will provide (i) product liability coverage; (ii) broad form contractual liability
coverage for LICENSEE'S indemnification under this AGREEMENT; and (iii) coverage
for litigation costs. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required will
not be construed to create a limit of LICENSEE'S liability with respect to its
indemnification under this AGREEMENT.
10.4 LICENSEE will provide BOARD with written evidence of such insurance upon
BOARD'S request. LICENSEE will provide BOARD with written notice of at least
15 days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance.

of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration panel will include
members knowledgeable in the evaluation of _________ technology. Judgment upon
the award rendered may be entered in the highest court or forum having jurisdiction,
state or federal. The provisions of this Article 14 will not apply to decisions
on the validity of patent claims or to any dispute or controversy as to which
