owed by P&G pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 with respect
thereto, NOS of such combination product will be adjusted by
multiplying actual NOS of such combination product in such country
calculated pursuant to the definition of NOS by a ratio of the list
prices to the trade for the product(s) at the start of each P&G
FISCAL YEAR as follows:
|
| 3.5.1. |
|
If the LICENSED PRODUCT(s) and the NON-PRODUCT COMPONENTS are
each sold separately in the United States, the ratio shall be
A/(A+B), where A is the list price to the trade in the United
States on July 1 of the applicable P&G FISCAL YEAR for the
LICENSED PRODUCT(s), if sold separately, and B is list price to the
trade in the United States on July 1 of the applicable P&G
FISCAL YEAR for the NON-PRODUCT COMPONENTS, if sold
separately.
|
| 3.5.2. |
|
If the NON-PRODUCT COMPONENTS in the combination product are
not sold separately in the United States, the ratio shall be A/C,
where A is the list price to the trade in the United States on July
1 of the applicable P&G FISCAL YEAR for the LICENSED
PRODUCT(s), if sold separately, and C is the list price to the
trade of such combination product in the United States.
|
| 3.5.3. |
|
If a LICENSED PRODUCT is not sold separately in the United
States, the ratio shall be (C-B)/C, where B is list price to the
trade in the United States on July 1 of the applicable P&G
FISCAL YEAR for the NON-PRODUCT COMPONENTS in the combination
product, if sold separately, and C is the list price to the trade
of the combination product in the United States.
|
| 3.5.4. |
|
If, in the United States on July 1 of the applicable P&G
FISCAL YEAR, neither the LICENSED PRODUCT nor the NON-PRODUCT
COMPONENTS are sold separately, a market price for such LICENSED
PRODUCT and such NON-PRODUCT COMPONENTS shall be negotiated by the
PARTIES in good faith.
|
|
|
For clarity, a container that is a LICENSED PRODUCT and the
TOPICAL within such container shall not be deemed a
“combination product” for purposes of this Section
3.5.
|
| 3.6. |
|
THIRD PARTY Royalties. In the event that P&G’s
EXPLOITATION of any LICENSED PRODUCTS under the license rights
granted by PALOMAR to P&G under the LICENSED PATENTS triggers
any payment obligations to any THIRD PARTY pursuant to an agreement
originally entered into by PALOMAR and such THIRD PARTY prior to or
on the EFFECTIVE DATE, including to MGH pursuant to the MGH
AGREEMENTS, PALOMAR shall be solely responsible for such payments.
In the event that P&G’s EXPLOITATION of any LICENSED
PRODUCTS under the license rights granted by PALOMAR to P&G
under the LICENSED PATENTS triggers any payment obligations to any
THIRD PARTY pursuant to an agreement originally entered into by
PALOMAR and such THIRD PARTY after the EFFECTIVE DATE, PALOMAR
shall so inform P&G in writing and provide to P&G a copy of
such THIRD PARTY agreement (subject to any confidentiality
obligations). P&G shall be required to pay to PALOMAR any such
payment obligations attributable to P&G’s exercise of any
rights or license (or sublicense) under such THIRD PARTY agreement
that accrue thirty (30) days after P&G’s receipt of such
agreement, and to otherwise abide by the applicable terms and
conditions of such THIRD PARTY agreement, in each case on such
terms and in such manner as PALOMAR reasonably determines will
permit it to satisfy its obligations to the THIRD PARTY under such
agreement; provided, however, that in the event that P&G elects
not to exercise any rights or a license (or sublicense) under such
THIRD PARTY agreement, P&G shall so inform PALOMAR in writing
and from and after such date P&G shall have no rights or
license (or sublicense) and shall have no obligations to make such
payments to PALOMAR for such payment obligations that accrue after
such date unless and until the PARTIES otherwise mutually agree in
writing.
|
| 3.7. |
|
THIRD PARTY Royalties Owed by PALOMAR. In the event that
PALOMAR’s EXPLOITATION of any product or service under the
license rights granted by P&G to PALOMAR under the P&G
LICENSED PATENTS in Section 7.3.2 triggers any payment obligations
by P&G to any THIRD PARTY, P&G shall so inform PALOMAR in
writing and provide to PALOMAR a copy of such THIRD PARTY agreement
(subject to any confidentiality obligations). PALOMAR shall be
required to pay to P&G any such payment obligations
attributable to PALOMAR’s exercise of any rights or license
(or sublicense) under such THIRD PARTY agreement that accrue thirty
(30) days after PALOMAR’s receipt of such agreement, and to
otherwise abide by the applicable terms and conditions of such
THIRD PARTY agreement, in each case on such terms and in such
manner as P&G reasonably determines will permit it to satisfy
its obligations to the THIRD PARTY under such agreement; provided,
however, that in the event that PALOMAR elects not to exercise any
rights or a license (or sublicense) under such THIRD PARTY
agreement, PALOMAR shall so inform P&G in writing and from and
after such date PALOMAR shall have no such rights or license (or
sublicense) and shall have no obligation to make such payments to
P&G for such payment obligations that accrue after such date
unless and until the PARTIES otherwise mutually agree in
writing.

|
Record Retention. ** P&G shall keep (and shall
ensure that its agents and sublicensees shall keep) records of such
sales in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of the TTP or
royalty calculations hereunder. With respect to any credits,
offsets or other reductions (if any) taken against any TTP or
royalty or other payment, ** P&G shall keep (and shall ensure
that its agents and sublicensees shall keep) records of such
credits, offsets or other reductions in sufficient detail to
confirm the accuracy of them hereunder.
|

independent accounting firm selected by PALOMAR, and reasonably
acceptable to P&G, at PALOMAR’s expense, to have access
during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written
notice, to such of the records of P&G as may be reasonably
necessary to verify the accuracy of the TTP or royalty reports
hereunder **. The accounting firm shall disclose to P&G and
PALOMAR whether the royalty or reports are correct or incorrect and
the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other
information shall be provided to PALOMAR.
|
| 3.10.3. |
|
Payment of Additional TTPs or Royalties. If such
accounting firm concludes that additional TTPs or royalties were
owed during such period, or excess credits, offsets or other
reductions were taken, P&G shall pay the additional TTPs or
royalties, as applicable, with interest calculated as provided in
Section 3.12 from the date originally due, within ** after the date
on which such accounting firm’s written report is delivered
to P&G. If, and only if, the amount of the underpayment is
greater than **, then P&G shall reimburse PALOMAR for all costs
related to such audit.
|
| 3.10.4. |
|
Confidentiality. PALOMAR shall treat all information
subject to review under this Section 3.10 in accordance with the

Mode of Payment. All payments to PALOMAR or P&G
under this AGREEMENT shall be made by deposit of USD in the
requisite amount to such bank account as PALOMAR may from time to
time designate by notice to P&G. Payments shall be free and
clear of any taxes (other than withholding and other taxes imposed
on PALOMAR, which shall be for the account of PALOMAR), fees or
charges, to the extent applicable. With respect to sales outside
the United States, payments shall be calculated based on currency
exchange rates for the QUARTER with respect to which sales
remittance is made for TTPs or royalties. For each month and each
currency, such exchange rate shall equal the arithmetic average of
the bid and ask rate for such currency obtained from Bloomberg at 1
a.m. Cincinnati time on the last BUSINESS DAY of the month, or, if
not so available, as otherwise agreed by the PARTIES. Unless
otherwise designated by PALOMAR in writing, all payments to PALOMAR
under this AGREEMENT shall be made by wire transfer to the

a rate per annum equal to **.
|
| 3.13. |
|
Withholding. P&G shall use all reasonable and legal
efforts to reduce tax withholding on payments due PALOMAR
hereunder. If P&G reasonably concludes that tax withholdings
under the laws of any country are required with respect to payments
to PALOMAR, P&G shall withhold the required amount and pay it
to the appropriate governmental entity. P&G shall cooperate
with PALOMAR in the event that PALOMAR claims exemption from such
withholding or seeks deductions under any double taxation or other
similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force, such
cooperation to include, without limitation, P&G promptly
providing PALOMAR with original receipts or other evidence
reasonably desirable and sufficient to allow PALOMAR to document
such withholdings.
|
| 3.14. |
|
Blocked Payments. In the event that, by reason of
applicable law or regulation in any country, it becomes impossible
or illegal for P&G to transfer payments to PALOMAR, such
payments shall be deposited in local currency in the relevant
country to the credit of PALOMAR in a recognized banking
institution designated by PALOMAR or, if none is designated by
PALOMAR within a period of thirty (30) days after its receipt of
written notice from P&G, in a recognized banking institution
selected by P&G and identified in a subsequent written notice
given to PALOMAR.

General Obligations. Except as provided herein, during
the TERM and for five (5) years after this AGREEMENT’s

confidence and shall not publish or otherwise disclose, directly or
indirectly, to any THIRD PARTY (other than such PARTY’s

INFORMATION of the other PARTY. During such period, a PARTY shall
not use for any purpose, directly or indirectly, CONFIDENTIAL

when reproducing any item that contains the other PARTY’s
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION if the item bears such notices or
reasonable equivalents. Subject to Section 5.1.2, each PARTY shall

conditions shall apply with respect to JOINT PROJECT TECHNOLOGY.
JOINT PROJECT TECHNOLOGY shall not constitute the CONFIDENTIAL

technology is expressly included in the definition of CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION provided in Section 5.3.1. With respect to any JOINT
PROJECT TECHNOLOGY that constitutes CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
hereunder and does not fall entirely within PALOMAR EXCLUSIVE
PATENT LICENSES or the P&G EXCLUSIVE PATENT LICENSE, for such
period as such technology constitutes CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
pursuant to Section 5.3.1, each PARTY shall have the right (a) to
EXPLOIT such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION for any purpose, directly or
indirectly (including the right to grant licenses with respect
thereto as contemplated in Section 4.1.3.2, consistent with its
rights as a joint owner thereof), and (b) to disclose such
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to one or more THIRD PARTIES as permitted
pursuant to Section 5.2.

| 5.2.1. |
|
Made in response to a valid order of a court of competent
jurisdiction or other supra-national, federal, national, regional,
state, provincial or local governmental or regulatory body of
competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that, except where
impracticable for certain disclosures (e.g., in the event of
medical emergency), the receiving PARTY shall first have given
notice to the disclosing PARTY and given the disclosing PARTY a
reasonable opportunity to quash such order and to obtain a
protective order requiring that the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and
documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence
by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used only for the
purposes for which the order was issued; and provided further that
if a disclosure order is not quashed or a protective order is not
obtained, the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed in response to
such court or governmental order shall be limited to that
information which is legally required to be disclosed in response
to such court or governmental order;
|
| 5.2.2. |
|
Otherwise required by applicable law as reasonably determined
by counsel to the receiving PARTY;
|

useful to prosecute or defend litigation, DISPUTES or other
disputes between the PARTIES;
|
| 5.2.4. |
|
Made by the receiving PARTY to any REGULATORY AUTHORITY as
required in connection with any filing, application or request for
REGULATORY APPROVAL (in each case to the extent that using such
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the other PARTY in connection with
seeking such approval is consistent with the rights and licenses
granted to the receiving PARTY hereunder); provided, however, that
reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment
of such information to the extent practicable;
|
| 5.2.5. |

Made by the receiving PARTY or its sublicensees to THIRD
PARTIES as may be necessary or useful in connection with, in the
case of P&G the EXPLOITATION of LICENSED PRODUCTS in the FEMALE

PALOMAR the EXPLOITATION of LIGHT-BASED DEVICES in the fields
specified by the license grants by P&G to PALOMAR hereunder, as
contemplated by this AGREEMENT, including actual or potential
(sub)licenses, THIRD PARTY COLLABORATIONS and (sub)contracting
transactions in connection therewith, provided that such THIRD
PARTIES shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality and
non-use with respect to such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION substantially
similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use that
apply to the PARTIES pursuant to this Article 5;
|
| 5.2.7. |
|
In the case of any JOINT PROJECT TECHNOLOGY that constitutes
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and does not fall entirely within PALOMAR
EXCLUSIVE PATENT LICENSES or the P&G EXCLUSIVE PATENT LICENSE,
made by a PARTY to a THIRD PARTY as may be reasonably necessary or
useful in connection with (a) preparing, filing, prosecuting,
maintaining, enforcing and defending JOINT PROJECT TECHNOLOGY; or
(b) the EXPLOITATION of the JOINT PROJECT TECHNOLOGY, directly or
indirectly, including by actual or potential (sub)licenses, THIRD
PARTY COLLABORATIONS and (sub)contracting transactions, provided
