CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT


 


In
consideration of my employment with BioVie Inc., its subsidiaries, parents, affiliates,
successors and assigns (together “Company”), and the compensation paid to me now and during my employment with
Company, and the Company’s agreement to provide me with access to its Confidential Information (as defined below), I hereby enter
into this Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Agreement”) and agree as follows:


 


1.       Confidential
Information Protections.


 


   1.1       Recognition
of Company’s Rights; Nondisclosure. I understand and acknowledge that my employment with Company creates a relationship of
confidence and trust with respect to Company’s Confidential Information (as defined below) and that Company has a protectable interest
therein. At all times during and after my employment, I will hold in confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon, or publish
any of Company’s Confidential Information, except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with my
work for Company, or unless an officer of Company expressly authorizes such disclosure. I will obtain Company’s written approval
before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, oral, or otherwise) that discloses and/or incorporates any Confidential
Information. I hereby assign to Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Confidential Information and recognize that all Confidential
Information will be the sole and exclusive property of Company and its assigns. I will take all reasonable precautions to prevent the
inadvertent accidental disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b),
I will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that:
(1) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely
for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in
a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.


 


   1.2       Confidential
Information. The term “Confidential Information” means any and all confidential knowledge, data or information
of Company. By way of illustration but not limitation, “Confidential Information” includes (a) trade secrets,
inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, software in source or object code, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how,
improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques and any other proprietary technology and all Intellectual Property Rights
(as defined below) therein (collectively, “Inventions”); (b) information regarding research, development, new
products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, margins, discounts,
credit terms, pricing and billing policies, quoting procedures, methods of obtaining business, forecasts, future plans and potential
strategies, financial projections and business strategies, operational plans, financing and capital-raising plans, activities and agreements,
internal services and operational manuals, methods of conducting Company business, suppliers and supplier information, and purchasing;
(c) information regarding customers and potential customers of Company, including customer lists, names, representatives, their needs
or desires with respect to the types of products or services offered by Company, proposals, bids, contracts and their contents and parties,
the type and quantity of products and services provided or sought to be provided to customers and potential customers of Company and
other non-public information relating to customers and potential customers; (d) information regarding any of Company’s business
partners and their services, including names, representatives, proposals, bids, contracts and their contents and parties, the type and
quantity of products and services received by Company, and other non-public information relating to business partners; (e) information
regarding personnel, employee lists, compensation, and employee skills; and (f) any other non-public information which a competitor of
Company could use to the competitive disadvantage of Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that, at all such times,
I am free to use information which was known to me prior to my employment with Company or which is generally known in the trade or industry
through no breach of this Agreement or other act or omission by me. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and me, nothing in this Agreement will limit my right to discuss my employment or
report possible violations of law or regulation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, United States Department of Labor,
the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other federal government agency or similar state or local
agency or to discuss the terms and conditions of my employment with others to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7 of the National
Labor Relations Act or to the extent that such disclosure is protected under the applicable provisions of law or regulation, including
but not limited to “whistleblower” statutes or other similar provisions that protect such disclosure.

Colorado Avenue, Suite 230 ● Santa Monica, CA 90404




     


     


    

   1.3       Third
Party Information. I understand, in addition, that Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential
and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on Company’s
part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the term of my employment
and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need
to know such information in connection with their work for Company) or use, except in connection with my work for Company, Third Party
Information or unless expressly authorized by an officer of Company in writing.


 


   1.4       Term
of Nondisclosure Restrictions. I understand that Confidential Information and Third Party Information is never to be used or disclosed
by me, as provided in this Section 1. If a temporal limitation on my obligation not to use or disclose such information is required under
applicable law, and the Agreement or its restriction(s) cannot otherwise be enforced, I agree and Company agrees that the two year period
after the date my employment ends will be the temporal limitation relevant to the contested restriction; provided, however,
that this sentence will not apply to trade secrets protected without temporal limitation under applicable law.


 


   1.5       No
Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others. During my employment with the Company, I will not improperly use or disclose
confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality,
and I will not bring onto the premises of Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other
person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person.


 


2.       Assignments
of Inventions.


 


   2.1       Definitions.
As used in this Agreement, the term “Intellectual Property Rights” means all trade secrets, Copyrights, trademarks,
mask work rights, patents and other intellectual property rights recognized by the laws of any jurisdiction or country; the term “Copyright”
means the exclusive legal right to reproduce, perform, display, distribute and make derivative works of a work of authorship (as a literary,
musical, or artistic work) recognized by the laws of any jurisdiction or country; and the term “Moral Rights”
means all paternity, integrity, disclosure, withdrawal, special and any other similar rights recognized by the laws of any jurisdiction
or country.




    2


     


    

   2.2       Excluded
Inventions and Other Inventions. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a list describing all existing Inventions, if any, (a) that
are owned by me or in which I have an interest and were made or acquired by me prior to my date of first employment with the Company,
(b) that may relate to Company’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, and (c) that are not to
be assigned to Company (“Excluded Inventions”). If no such list is attached, I represent and agree that it
is because I have no Excluded Inventions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Other Inventions” means Inventions
in which I have or may have an interest, as of the commencement of my employment or thereafter, other than Company Inventions (as defined
below) and Excluded Inventions. I acknowledge and agree that if I use any Excluded Inventions or any Other Inventions in the scope of
my employment, or if I include any Excluded Inventions or Other Inventions in any product or service of Company, or if my rights in any
Excluded Inventions or Other Inventions may block or interfere with, or may otherwise be required for, the exercise by Company of any
rights assigned to Company under this Agreement, I will immediately so notify Company in writing. Unless Company and I agree otherwise
in writing as to particular Excluded Inventions or Other Inventions, I hereby grant to Company, in such circumstances (whether or not
I give Company notice as required above), a non-exclusive, perpetual, transferable, fully-paid and royalty-free, irrevocable and worldwide
license, with rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, to reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, publicly
perform, and publicly display in any form or medium, whether now known or later developed, make, have made, use, sell, import, offer
for sale, and exercise any and all present or future rights in, such Excluded Inventions and Other Inventions. To the extent that any
third parties have rights in any such Other Inventions, I hereby represent and warrant that such third party or parties have validly
and irrevocably granted to me the right to grant the license stated above.


 


2.3       Assignment
of Company Inventions. Inventions assigned to Company or to a third party as directed by Company pursuant to Section 2.6 are referred
to in this Agreement as “Company Inventions.” Subject to Section 2.4 and except for Excluded Inventions set
forth in Exhibit A and Other Inventions, I hereby assign to Company all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all Inventions
(and all Intellectual Property Rights with respect thereto) made, conceived, reduced to practice, or learned by me, either alone or with
others, during the period of my employment with the Company. To the extent required by applicable Copyright laws, I agree to assign in
the future (when any copyrightable Inventions are first fixed in a tangible medium of expression) my Copyright rights in and to such
Inventions. Any assignment of Company Inventions (and all Intellectual Property Rights with respect thereto) hereunder includes an assignment
of all Moral Rights. To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned to Company and to the extent the following is allowed by the
laws in any country where Moral Rights exist, I hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive the enforcement of such Moral Rights, and
all claims and causes of action of any kind against Company or related to Company’s customers, with respect to such rights. I further
acknowledge and agree that neither my successors-in-interest nor legal heirs retain any Moral Rights in any Company Inventions (and any
Intellectual Property Rights with respect thereto).


 


2.4       Unassigned
or Nonassignable Inventions. I recognize that this Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any Invention that I developed
entirely on my own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secrets, or Confidential Information,
except for those Inventions that either (i) relate to the Company’s actual or anticipated business, research or development, or
(ii) result from or are connected with work performed by me for the Company. In addition, this Agreement does not apply to any Invention
which qualifies fully for protection from assignment to the Company under any specifically applicable state law, regulation, rule or
public policy (“Specific Inventions Law”).




    3


     


    

   2.5       Obligation
to Keep Company Informed. During the period of my employment, I will promptly and fully disclose to Company in writing all Inventions
authored, conceived, or reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise
Company in writing of any Inventions that I believe fully qualify for protection under the provisions of the Specific Inventions Law;
and I will at that time provide to Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. Company will keep in confidence
and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to
Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that qualify fully for protection under the Specific Inventions Law. I will
preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does not fully qualify for protection under the Specific Inventions Law.


 


   2.6       Government
or Third Party. I agree that, as directed by Company, I will assign to a third party, including without limitation the United States,
all my right, title, and interest in and to any particular Company Invention.


 


   2.7       Ownership
of Work Product.


 


(a)       I
acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment
and which are protectable by Copyright are “works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section
101).


 


(b)       I
agree that Company will exclusively own all work product that is made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment,
and I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assign to Company all right, title, and interest worldwide in and to such work product.
I understand and agree that I have no right to publish on, submit for publishing, or use for any publication any work product protected
by this Section, except as necessary to perform services for Company.


 


   2.8       Enforcement
of Intellectual Property Rights and Assistance. I will assist Company in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce,
United States and foreign Intellectual Property Rights and Moral Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To that
end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as Company may
reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Intellectual Property Rights
and the assignment thereof. In addition, I will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Intellectual Property Rights to Company
or its designee, including the United States or any third party designated by Company. My obligation to assist Company with respect to
Intellectual Property Rights relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries will continue beyond the termination of my
employment, but Company will compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually spent by me at Company’s
request on such assistance. In the event Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document
needed in connection with the actions specified in this paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and its duly authorized
officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and on my behalf to execute,
verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with
the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever,
which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights assigned under this Agreement to Company.


 


   2.9       Incorporation
of Software Code. I agree that I will not incorporate into any Company software or otherwise deliver to Company any software code
licensed under the GNU General Public License or Lesser General Public License or any other license that, by its terms, requires or conditions
the use or distribution of such code on the disclosure, licensing, or distribution of any source code owned or licensed by Company except
in strict compliance with Company’s policies regarding the use of such software.




    4


     


    

3.       Records.
I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that
is required by Company) of all Confidential Information developed by me and all Company Inventions made by me during the period of my
employment at Company, which records will be available to and remain the sole property of Company at all times.


 


4.       Duty
of Loyalty During Employment. I agree that during the period of my
employment with Company, I will not, without Company’s express written consent, directly or indirectly engage in any employment
or business activity which is directly or indirectly competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with, my employment with Company.


 


5.       Reasonableness
of Restrictions.


 


   5.1       I
agree that I have read this entire Agreement and understand it. I acknowledge that I have the right to consult with counsel prior to
signing this Agreement. I further acknowledge that I will derive significant value from the Company’s agreement to provide me with
Company Confidential Information to enable me to optimize the performance of my duties to the Company. I further acknowledge that my
fulfillment of the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, my obligation neither to disclose nor to use
Company Confidential Information other than for the Company’s exclusive benefit and my obligations not to solicit are necessary
to protect Company Confidential Information and, consequently, to preserve the value and goodwill of the Company. I agree that this Agreement
does not prevent me from earning a living or pursuing my career. I agree that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable,
proper, and necessitated by Company’s legitimate business interests. I represent and agree that I am entering into this Agreement
freely and with knowledge of its contents with the intent to be bound by the Agreement and the restrictions contained in it.


 


   5.2       In
the event that a court finds this Agreement, or any of its restrictions, to be ambiguous, unenforceable, or invalid, I and Company agree
that the court will read the Agreement as a whole and interpret the restriction(s) at issue to be enforceable and valid to the maximum
extent allowed by law.


 


6.       No
Conflicting Agreement or Obligation.
I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an intern of Company does not and will not breach any
agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment with Company. I have not
entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement.


 


7.       Return
of Company Property. When I leave the employ of Company, I will deliver
to Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas and documents, together with all copies thereof,
and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions, Third Party Information or Confidential Information of Company.
I agree that I will not copy, delete, or alter any information contained upon my Company computer or Company equipment before I return
it to Company. In addition, if I have used any personal computer, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit
any Company information, including but not limited to, Confidential Information, I agree to provide Company with a computer-useable copy
of all such Confidential Information and then permanently delete and expunge such Confidential Information from those systems; and I
agree to provide Company access to my system as reasonably requested to verify that the necessary copying and/or deletion is completed.
I further agree that any property situated on Company’s premises and owned by Company, including disks and other storage media,
filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company’s personnel at any time with or without notice. Prior
to leaving, I will cooperate with Company in attending an exit interview and completing and signing Company’s termination statement
if required to do so by Company.

8.       Legal
and Equitable Remedies.


 


   8.1       I
agree that it may be impossible to assess the damages caused by my violation of this Agreement or any of its terms. I agree that any
threatened or actual violation of this Agreement or any of its terms will constitute immediate and irreparable injury to Company, and
Company will have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable
relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that Company may have for a breach or threatened breach of
this Agreement.

agree that if Company is successful in whole or in part in any legal or equitable action against me under this Agreement, Company will

Any notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be given to Company at its headquarters location at the time notice
is given, labeled “Attention Chief Executive Officer,” and to me at my address as listed on Company payroll, or at such other

delivered by certified or registered mail, notice will be considered to have been given five business days after it was mailed, as evidenced
by the postmark. If delivered by courier or express mail service, notice will be considered to have been given on the delivery date reflected

11.     General
Provisions.


 


   11.1    Governing
Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Illinois as such laws are applied to agreements

and venue of the state and federal courts located in Illinois for any lawsuit filed there against me by Company arising from or related
to this Agreement.


 


   11.2    Severability.
In case any one or more of the provisions, subsections, or sentences contained in this Agreement will, for any reason, be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions
of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
in this Agreement. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement will for any reason be held to be excessively
broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it will be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable
to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it will then appear.


 


   11.3    Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement is for my benefit and the benefit of Company, its successors, assigns, parent corporations, subsidiaries,
affiliates, and purchasers, and will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives.

   11.4       Survival.
This Agreement will survive the termination of my employment, regardless of the reason, and the assignment of this Agreement by Company
to any successor in interest or other assignee.


 


   11.5       At-Will
Status. I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement will change my at-will status or confer any right with respect to continuation
of my employment with Company, nor will it interfere in any way with my right or Company’s right to terminate my employment at
any time, with or without cause or advance notice.


 


  11.6       Waiver.
No waiver by Company of any breach of this Agreement will be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by Company of
any right under this Agreement will be construed as a waiver of any other right. Company will not be required to give notice to enforce
strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.


 


  11.7       Export.
I agree not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Company or any products utilizing
such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.

constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic
signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other applicable law) or other transmission
method and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.


 


  11.9       Advice
of Counsel. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL
COUNSEL, AND I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST
ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.


 


  11.10     Entire
