Zomedica shall not, and Zomedica shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees not to, (a) challenge the validity or ownership of any of the Qorvo Trademarks or any other Trademarks of Qorvo or claim adversely or assist in any claim adverse to Qorvo concerning any right, title or interest in any of the Qorvo Trademarks, (b) do or permit any act which may directly or indirectly impair or prejudice Qorvo’s or any of its Affiliates’ title to the Qorvo Trademarks or be detrimental to the reputation and goodwill of Qorvo or any of its Affiliates, including any act which might assist or give rise to any application to remove or de-register any of the Qorvo Trademarks or other Trademarks of Qorvo, or (c) register or use or attempt to register or to use any Trademark which may be similar to or comprise or include any of the Qorvo Trademarks.

4.9.3. Quality Standards and Inspection. Zomedica shall use the Qorvo Trademarks only in the form stipulated by Qorvo and shall conform to and observe such standards as Qorvo from time to time prescribes, including standards relative to the quality, design, identity, size, position, appearance, marking, color of the Qorvo Trademarks, and the manner, disposition and use of the Qorvo Trademarks and accompanying designations, on any document or other media including, without limitation, any promotional material. All services performed under the Qorvo Trademarks and all goods to which the Qorvo Trademarks are applied shall at all times be in compliance with Applicable Law, and such services performed or goods supplied shall in each case be effected in a manner so as not to bring discredit upon the Qorvo Trademarks. Qorvo shall have the right to inspect any designation, document or other media including any promotional material, and any facilities or records, used or maintained by Zomedica in connection with the performance of any services or supply of goods under one or more of the Qorvo Trademarks.

5. Consideration

5.1. License Fees. In consideration of the rights and licenses granted by Qorvo to Zomedica under this Agreement, Zomedica shall pay to Qorvo (a) four million U.S. Dollars ($4,000,000) within five (5) Business Days of the Effective Date and (b) an additional four million U.S. Dollars ($4,000,000) within five (5) Business Days of the completion of the Installation Qualification Process for a Cartridge production line at any Zomedica facility.

5.2. License Fee Refund. In the event that Qorvo ceases the manufacture and supply of BAW Sensors during the Initial Exclusivity Term, Qorvo shall refund to Zomedica the amount of the license fees received by Qorvo pursuant to Section5.1, where such refund shall be calculated at the percentage of the Initial Exclusivity Term remaining at the time of such discontinuance multiplied by the license fees received by Qorvo pursuant to Section5.1. By way of example only, if Qorvo ceases the manufacture and supply of BAW Sensors with seven (7) years remaining in the Initial Exclusivity Term (i.e., seventy percent (70%) of such Initial Exclusivity Term) and Zomedica has paid to Qorvo four million dollars ($4,000,000) in license fees pursuant to Section5.1 as of such time, then Qorvo shall refund to Zomedica seventy percent (70%) of such license fees (which equals two million eight hundred thousand dollars ($2,800,000)).

5.3. Royalty.

5.3.1. Royalty Rate. As further consideration for the rights granted to Zomedica hereunder, commencing upon the First Commercial Sale of any Product in the Territory, Zomedica shall pay to Qorvo a nonrefundable, noncreditable royalty on Net Sales of all Products (other than Cartridges or Assays supplied by or on behalf of Qorvo to Zomedica pursuant to the Transition and Support Agreement) in the Territory on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis at the following rates:

(a) for that period commencing on the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country until the[***] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country, a royalty rate of [***]; and

(b) for that period commencing on the [***] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country until such time as there are no longer any sales of such Product in such country, a royalty rate of [***].

5.3.2. Royalty Rate Reductions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that from and after the date on which any Product is offered for sale or sold in any country and is not covered by any Valid Claim of any Licensed Patent, the royalty rate for such Product in such country shall be reduced by [***] of the applicable royalty rate set forth in Section 5.3.1 (i.e., to [***] until the [***] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale or [***] following the [***] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale). In the event Zomedica is required to obtain one or more licenses under any issued Patent in existence as of the Effective Date controlled by a Third Party that is necessary for Zomedica to commercialize any Cartridge, Assay or Instrument, as such Cartridge, Assay or Instrument exists as of the Effective Date, in accordance with this Agreement, the royalty which Zomedica actually pays to such Third Party during a Calendar Quarter in respect of such issued Patent may be credited against up to [***] of royalties otherwise payable by Zomedica to Qorvo under this Article 5 for such applicable royalty payment period.

5.3.3. Combination Product. Where a Product is sold by Zomedica in combination with other products that are not covered by any Qorvo Product Technology, such as in a kit or a package (any Product together with such other product(s), collectively, a “Combination Product”), the Net Sales of such a Combination Product in a country will be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country by the fraction of A/A+B, where A is the average unit selling price of the Product included in such Combination Product sold separately in that country and B is the total average unit selling price of the other products included in such Combination Product, when sold separately in that country. If neither the Product nor the other products included in the Combination Product are sold separately in such country, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the amount of Net Sales of the Combination Product that are attributable to a Product to determine the amount of Net Sales of the Product contained in the Combination Product.

5.3.4. Payment; Reports. Within sixty (60) days after June 30 and December 31 of each Calendar Year during the Term, commencing with the First Commercial Sale of any Product in the Field in the Territory, (a) Zomedica shall provide Qorvo with a report that contains the following information for such Calendar Quarter, on a Product-by-Product basis: (i) Net Sales of such Product and (ii) a calculation of the royalty payment due on such Net Sales of such Product and (b) Zomedica shall remit payment to Qorvo of all royalties shown to be due in such report.

Execution Copy

5.3.5. Financial Records and Audit. Zomedica shall maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit Qorvo to confirm the accuracy of any royalty payments under this Agreement. Upon Qorvo’s reasonable request and with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice provided by Qorvo to Zomedica, Zomedica shall permit an internationally recognized independent certified public accountant selected by Qorvo and reasonably acceptable to Zomedica to examine such records during regular business hours for the purpose of verifying for Qorvo the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by Zomedica under this Agreement or of any payments made, or required to be made, by Zomedica to Qorvo pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to each such audit, such independent certified public accountant shall execute a confidentiality agreement that is reasonably acceptable to Zomedica. The foregoing audit right shall survive and continue to apply for a period of three (3) Calendar Years from the end of the Calendar Year to which such records pertain, and Qorvo shall not be permitted to exercise such audit right more often than once each Calendar Year and no such record may be audited more than once. The independent certified public accountant shall disclose to Qorvo only whether the audited reports are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. Qorvo shall not receive any other information from such independent certified public accountant in respect of such audits. Qorvo shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an underpayment by Xxxxxxxx of more than the greater of [***] of the amount actually due for any Calendar Year being audited, in which case Zomedica shall reimburse Qorvo for any reasonable costs of such audit. Zomedica shall pay to Qorvo any underpayment discovered by such audit within thirty (30) days after the independent certified public accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 5.5) from the original due date. If the audit reveals an overpayment by Xxxxxxxx, then Zomedica may offset any such overpayment (plus interest (as set forth in Section 5.5) from the original due date) against any future payments due to Qorvo (it being understood that if Xxxxxxxx does not owe any future payments to Qorvo, Qorvo shall pay to Zomedica the overpayment within thirty (30) days after the date of the audit, plus interest (as set forth in Section 5.5) from the original due date).

5.3.6. Audit Dispute. If Zomedica disputes the results of any audit conducted pursuant to Section 5.3.5, the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve the disagreement. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within thirty (30) days, the dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a certified public accounting firm jointly selected by each Party’s certified public accountants or to such other person as the Parties shall mutually agree (the “Auditor”). The decision of the Auditor shall be final and binding on both Parties, and the costs of such procedure as well as the initial audit shall be borne equally between the Parties. If the Auditor determines that there has been an underpayment by Xxxxxxxx, Zomedica shall pay to Qorvo the underpayment within thirty (30) days after the Auditor’s decision, plus interest (as set forth in Section 5.5) from the original due date. If the Auditor determines that there has been an overpayment by Xxxxxxxx, then Zomedica may offset such overpayment (plus interest (as set forth in Section 5.5) from the original due date) against any future payments due to Qorvo (it being understood that if Xxxxxxxx does not owe any future payments to Qorvo, Qorvo shall pay to Zomedica the overpayment within thirty (30) days after the Auditor’s decision, plus interest (as set forth in Section 5.5) from the original due date).

5.4. Taxes and Withholding. Zomedica shall be responsible for and shall pay any and all excise, sales, use, value-added, goods and services, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes, in each case, imposed or payable with respect to, or assessed as a result of payments, pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Non-Income Taxes”). The Party required to account for such Non-Income Tax shall provide to the other Party appropriate tax invoices and, if applicable, evidence of the remittance of the amount of such Non-Income Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Non-Income Taxes and obtain any refund, return, rebate or the like of any Non-Income Tax, including by filing any necessary exemption or other similar forms, certificates or other similar documents, in each case, to the extent legally permissible, including, to the extent possible, by using local country service providers or invoicing. If Zomedica, Zomedica Corp., or, pursuant to Section4.7, any Affiliate, Sublicensee or subcontractor to which Zomedica delegates payment responsibility (such payor, the “Applicable Payor”) is required under Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any amount for or on account of taxes from any payment made by the Applicable Payor under this Agreement, the Applicable Payor shall pay such additional amounts to Qorvo as may be necessary so that the net amount received by Qorvo after such deduction or withholding (including any deduction or withholding in respect of such additional amounts, and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any tax payable by Qorvo by reference to Qorvo’s net income) is equal to the full amount Qorvo would have received pursuant to this Agreement if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

5.5. Late Payments. Except for any payments that are disputed by Zomedica in good faith, any payments due under this Agreement that are not made on or before the applicable due date will bear interest at the lower of (a) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and (b) the rate of [***] per annum above the base interest rate of the Federal Reserve System of the United States on the payment due date or, if unavailable, on the latest date prior to the payment due date on which such rate is available, calculated on a daily basis on the actual number of days elapsed from the payment due date to the date of actual payment.

5.6. Payments. All payments due under this Agreement will be paid in U.S. Dollars from a U.S. entity to a U.S. entity, without deduction or exchange, collection, or other charges and by check, ACH, electronic funds transfer, or wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by Qorvo in writing. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all payments made under this Agreement will be non-refundable and non-creditable against any other payments due hereunder. When conversion of payments from any currency other than U.S. Dollars is required, such conversion shall be at the exchange rate published by The Wall Street Journal (U.S. edition) on the last day of the Calendar Quarter in which the applicable sales were made.

6.3.2. Enforcement of Licensed Patents. As between the Parties, Qorvo shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prosecute any Infringement with respect to the Licensed Patents at Qorvo’s sole cost and expense, using counsel of its own choice.

7.1. Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means any information, data, or know-how, including, without limitation, ideas, inventions, algorithms, concepts, trade secrets, technical know-how, product specifications, schematics, technical drawings, systems, forecasts, strategies, plans, processes, procedures, techniques, methods, designs, customer and vendor information, prospect information, finances of a Party and any other information that a Party or any of its Affiliates (a “Discloser”) discloses or has disclosed to the other Party or any of its Affiliates (a “Recipient”) in tangible or non-tangible form and is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or the like, or may be reasonably inferred to be confidential or proprietary by the nature of the content and context of the disclosure, including all information disclosed prior to the Effective Date pursuant to the NDA or the Development and Supply Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include information, technical data or know-how which (a) at the time of disclosure, is available to the general public, (b) at a later date, becomes available to the general public through no fault of Recipient and then only after such later date, (c) is received by Recipient at any time from a Third Party without breach of a non-disclosure or confidentiality obligation to Discloser, or (d) as shown by proper documentation, is known to Recipient at the time of disclosure, or independently developed by Recipient without the use or disclosure of Confidential Information of Discloser, other than information related to any specification, sample, prototype, design concepts, manufacturing techniques, medical protocol, medical procedure, and business strategies disclosed by Discloser, which will be at all times considered Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any information related to any specification, sample, prototype, design concepts, manufacturing techniques, medical protocol, medical procedure, and business strategies disclosed by Discloser will be considered Confidential Information. Information will not be deemed to be available to the general public for the purposes of the above exclusions from the definition of Confidential Information (i) merely because it is embraced by more general information in the prior possession of Recipient or of others, or (ii) merely because it is expressed in public literature in general terms not specifically in accordance with Confidential Information. All BAW Sensor IP, Qorvo Background IP, Qorvo Developed IP and Qorvo Product Technology is the Confidential Information of Qorvo. Zomedica Background IP and Zomedica Developed IP is the Confidential Information of Zomedica. The terms of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of both Parties.

7.3. Permissive Disclosure. Notwithstanding any other terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to satisfy a legal demand by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as necessary in regulatory proceedings, provided that the Recipient first advises the Discloser prior to the disclosure, unless such notice is prohibited by Applicable Law, so that the Discloser may seek appropriate relief from the court order or regulatory body, and, provided further, that the Recipient will disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed and request confidential treatment of the Confidential Information by the court or regulatory body. In addition, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit a Party from making such disclosures to the extent required under applicable federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation of any nationally recognized securities exchange. In such event, however, the disclosing Party will use good faith efforts to notify and consult with the other Party prior to such disclosure and, where applicable, will diligently seek confidential treatment to the extent such treatment is available under applicable securities laws.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party is a publicly traded company and is required to make certain disclosures, including disclosures of material events and agree that nothing in this Agreement will prohibit any Party from making such disclosures to the extent required under applicable federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation of any nationally recognized securities exchange. In such event, however, the disclosing Party will use good faith efforts to notify and consult with the other Party prior to such disclosure and, where applicable, will diligently seek confidential treatment to the extent such treatment is available under applicable securities laws. Each Party agrees that it may issue a press or news release, or make any similar public statements related to this Agreement, only if accurate at the time of issuance, otherwise in compliance with Applicable Law, and subject to the prior review and written approval of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld.

Qorvo will have no liability to Zomedica under this Section9.1 to the extent Zomedica is obligated to indemnify Qorvo for any such matter pursuant to Section9.2 of this Agreement.

9.2. Indemnification by Zomedica. Zomedica shall defend, indemnify, and hold Qorvo and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Qorvo Indemnified Parties”) harmless against any and all Third-Party Claims against any Qorvo Indemnified Party and shall pay all Losses with respect to any Third-Party Claims, in each case to the extent any such Third-Party Claim arises out of, or relates to (a) the breach by Zomedica of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, (b) any use, development, manufacture, having manufactured, offer for sale, sale or importation of any Product in the Field in the Territory, including any product liability or personal injury arising from or relating to any Product used, developed, manufactured, offered for sale, sale or imported by or on behalf of Zomedica or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, (c) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Zomedica Indemnified Party or (d) any violation of Applicable Law by any Zomedica Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zomedica will have no liability to Qorvo under this Section9.2 to the extent Qorvo is obligated to indemnify Zomedica for any such matter pursuant to Section9.1 of this Agreement.

9.3. Indemnification Procedure. If either Party is seeking indemnification under Section9.1 or Section9.2 (the “Indemnified Party”), it will inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Third-Party Claim giving rise to such indemnification obligations within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of the Third-Party Claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give such notice of a Third-Party Claim will not affect the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay to give notice). The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s insurer as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense. The Indemnified Party will have the right to participate, at its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any Third-Party that has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party. Neither Party will have the obligation to indemnify the other Party in connection with any settlement made without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The Indemnifying Party will not admit liability of the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of Section9.1 or Section9.2 as to any Third-Party Claim, then the Parties may conduct separate defenses of such Third-Party Claims, with each Party retaining the right to claim indemnification from the other Party in accordance with Section9.1 or Section9.2, as applicable, upon resolution of the underlying Third-Party Claim.

Each Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert in any such Action any claim that is not subject personally to jurisdiction in the above-named courts or that any such Action brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non-conveniens or should be transferred or removed from any of the above-named courts.

12.8. Force Majeure. Neither Party will be held liable to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is caused by or results from causes beyond reasonable control of the affected Party and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party.

12.10. Remedies. All remedies available to a Party hereunder are cumulative, and may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and not expressly excluded hereunder, be exercised concurrently or separately.

12.11. Amendment and Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other of further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective (a) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by all Parties and (b) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

Execution Copy

12.16. Interpretation. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) each Party and its counsel reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and have contributed to its revision; (b) the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting Party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement; and (c) the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be construed fairly as to each Party and not in a favor of or against either Party, regardless of which Party was generally responsible for the preparation of this Agreement.

12.17. Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement will be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

12.19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and execution by each of the Parties of any one of such counterparts will constitute due execution of this Agreement.
