In any event, deductions shall be taken only once with respect to the foregoing items subject to deduction regardless of whether such deduction may be included in more than one deductible category (i.e., no double dipping).

If a sale, transfer or other disposition with respect to a Product or BIIB062 Product (as applicable) is made for consideration other than cash or is not at arm’s length, then the Net Sales from such sale, transfer or other disposition shall be the arm’s length fair market value thereof.

Where the Agreement Product is sold separately in finished form but the other ingredients are not, Net Sales for the Combination Product shall be determined by multiplying actual Net Sales of the Combination Product (determined by reference to the definition of Net Sales set forth above) during the royalty payment period by the ratio of the average per-unit sale price of the Agreement Product when sold separately in finished form to the average per-unit Net Sales of the Combination Product, in each case during the applicable royalty payment period in the country in which the sale of the Combination Product was made.

To the extent that Biogen Idec has an exclusive license to BIIB062 Reverted Products under Section 6.4.4 Biogen Idec shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to take legal action to enforce and defend against Subject Infringements by Third Parties at its sole cost and expense.

10.3.5.Cooperation; Costs and Recoveries. If a Party (the “Controlling Party”) brings an action with respect to a Subject Infringement or BIIB062 Infringement in accordance with this Section 10.3 (an “Infringement Action”), then the other Party (the “Cooperating Party”) shall cooperate as reasonably requested, at such Controlling Party’s expense, in the pursuit of such Infringement Action, including if necessary by joining as a nominal Party to the Infringement Action.
