basis the payment required by Section 3.2(a) above and
(ii) all amounts paid to Seller in excess of $5,000,000

consideration to be paid under Sections 3.l and 3.2
inclusive (including principal payments on the Purchaser Note #1
and principal payment on the Purchaser Note #2 but excluding
interest payments on the Purchaser Note #1 and excluding interest
payments on the Purchaser Note #2 and excluding the Assumed

that, in the absence of rights to practice under the Seller
Patents, the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation

(or, in the case of a Seller Patent that has not yet issued, would
infringe such Seller Patent if it were to issue).
Purchaser shall
have no obligation to make a payment of Contingent Consideration
under Section 3.2 to Seller for milestones achieved on
or after the date that is ten (10) years following the Closing
Date. On a date not less than one hundred eighty (180) days
from the Closing Date, and continuing semi-annually thereafter,

Seller pursuant to the terms of this
-15-
Section 3.2 shall bear interest at the prime rate of
interest in effect on such date as reported in The Wall Street
Journal, plus three percent (3%), per annum until paid by
Purchaser. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller on a dollar for dollar
basis for any costs of collection (including reasonable attorney
fees and costs) incurred in collecting any amounts payable by
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.2 ;
provided , however , that upon a final adjudication,
without further appeal, by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is
determined that Purchaser (or any subsidiary, Affiliate, licensee,
assignee or successor thereof) was more than fifty
percent (50%) at fault for non-payment of such Contingent
Consideration.
