contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect
to this information. 







 2.2 The Research Program shall be performed during the period from the Effective Date for a period of 12 month
periods thereafter (the “Research Term”). Funding Sponsor shall have the option of extending the Research Program under mutually agreeable support terms. 

2.3 Sponsor understands that University’s primary mission is education and advancement of knowledge, and consequently the Research Program will be
designed to carry out that mission. The manner of performance of the Research Program shall be determined solely by the Principal investigator. University does not guarantee specific results, and the Research Program will be conducted only on a
reasonable efforts basis. 
 2.4 University will keep accurate financial and scientific records relating to the Research Program and will make such records
available to Sponsor or its authorized representative throughout the Term of the Agreement during normal business hours upon reasonable notice. 
 2.5
Sponsor understands that University may be involved in similar research on behalf of itself and others. University shall be free to continue such research provided that it is conducted separately from the Research Program hereinafter defined, and
Sponsor shall not gain any rights via this Agreement to such other research. 
 2.6 University does not guarantee that any patent rights will result from
the Research Program, that the scope of any patent rights obtained will cover Sponsor’s commercial interests, or that any such patent rights will be free of dominance by other patents, including those based upon inventions made by other
inventors in The University of Texas System independent of the Research Program. 
 3. COMPENSATION 

3.1 Sponsor obligations under this Article 3 shall be limited to Funding Sponsor. 

3.2 As consideration for the performance by University of its obligations under this Agreement, Funding Sponsor will pay the University an amount equal to its
reasonable, documented expenditures and reasonable overhead (such overhead to not exceed the rate set forth in University’s indirect rate agreement with the U.S. Federal Government) in conducting the Research Program subject to a maximum
expenditure limitation of $386,252, provided that in any and all events, the amounts charged by University shall not, without Funding Sponsor’s prior written consent, exceed the amount. Payments shall be made as follows (subject to the possible
later return of funds if uncommitted and unexpended, under Section 3.3): 
  

	 	(a)	Upon execution of all parties to the Agreement: $193,126; 

  

	 	(b)	$96,563 by March 31, 2014; and 

  

	 	(c)	$96,563 by June 30, 2014 

 Payments should be made within 30 days of the receipt of an undisputed invoice

 3.3 University shall maintain all Research Program funds in a separate account and shall expend such funds for
wages, supplies, equipment, travel, and other operational expenses in connection with the Research Program. It is understood that funds of the Research Program which are not used in a particular quarter may be used in subsequent quarters, and that
the Principal Investigator may transfer funds within the budget as needed without Funding Sponsor’s approval, as long as such transfers do not effect a change in the scope of work of the Research Program. It is also understood that subject to
Section 10.4, uncommitted and unexpended funds remaining at the termination of the Agreement shall be returned to Funding Sponsor within ninety (90) days of the effective date of termination; provided, however, that the parties agree that
in order to minimize administrative close-out expenses, if funds remaining upon termination or expiration of the Agreement equal $250.00 or less, such funds shall be retained by the University and disposed of in accordance with University policy.

Program as requested by Sponsor’s Designated Representative. The Principal Investigator shall also submit a comprehensive final report within ninety (90) days of termination of the
Agreement which shall consist of a report of all activities undertaken and accomplishments achieved through the Research 

5. PUBLICITY 

Neither party shall make reference to the other in a press release or any other written statement in connection with work performed under this Agreement, if
it is intended for use in the public media, except as required by the Texas Public Information Act or other law or regulation. University, however, shall have the right to acknowledge Sponsor’s support of the investigations under this Agreement
in scientific or academic publications and other scientific or academic communications, without Sponsor’s prior approval. In any statements, the scope and nature of participation shall be described accurately and appropriately. 

6. PUBLICATION AND ACADEMIC RIGHTS: CONFIDENTIALITY 

6.1 University and the Principal Investigator have the right to publish or otherwise publicly disclose information gained in the course of this Agreement,
except for Sponsor’s Confidential Information. In order to avoid loss of patent rights as a result of premature public disclosure of patentable information, University will submit (a) any prepublication materials and (b) a copy of any
materials to be publicly disclosed to Sponsor for review and comment thirty (30) days in advance of its planned submission for publication or public disclosure to the extent possible, but in the case of any requests under the Texas Public
Information Act, prior to release of any information to the requestor. Funding Sponsor may request in writing, and University shall agree to, (i) the deletion of any Confidential Information provided by Sponsor, and (iii) a delay of such
proposed publication or public disclosure for an additional period, not to exceed sixty (60) days, in order to protect the potential patentability of any technology described therein. Funding Sponsor shall be entitled to receive in any such
publication or public disclosure an acknowledgment of its sponsorship of the Research Program. University shall have final authority to determine the scope and content of any publications or disclosures provided that in no event shall any
publication or disclosure include Sponsor’s Confidential Information. 
 6.2 It is anticipated that inventions or discoveries arising from the Research
Program (“Inventions”) shall be discussed with Funding Sponsor concurrently with their reduction to practice by the Principal Investigator. It is understood that the University investigators may discuss the research being performed under
this Agreement with other University investigators but shall not reveal Confidential Information to such investigators unless such investigators have signed a nondisclosure agreement. 

6.3 In conjunction with the Research Program, Sponsor may wish to disclose certain of its confidential and/or proprietary information (“Confidential
Information”) to University during the term of this Agreement. Confidential Information will be transmitted in writing and clearly marked “Confidential,” “Proprietary,” or similarly, or if disclosed orally will be reduced to

writing by Disclosing Party, clearly marked “Confidential,” “Proprietary,” or similarly, and transmitted to the Contact Person of Receiving Party within thirty (30) days
after oral disclosure. No license under or title to any invention, patent, trademark, trade name or other intellectual property or other rights or interests in the Confidential Information now or hereafter owned by or controlled by any Party is
granted either expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise by the Agreement. All Confidential Information is provided “AS IS” and without warranty, express or implied, of any kind. 

University will use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of conducting the Research Program, and shall use reasonable efforts to
prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after its expiration or termination. If required, University may disclose Confidential Information to a
governmental authority or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that such disclosure is subject to all applicable governmental or judicial protection available for like information and reasonable advance notice is given to Funding
Sponsor. University’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information shall not apply to information that (a) is already in University’s possession at the time of disclosure; (b) is or later becomes part of the public domain
through no fault of University; (c) is received on a non-confidential basis from a third party having no obligations of confidentiality or nonuse to University’s; or (d) independently developed by University. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, University may retain one archival copy of the Confidential Information received in a secure location to be used solely to determine its obligations under the Agreement. 

The Parties agree that, in the event of breach or threatened breach or intended breach of the Agreement, each Party, in addition to any other
rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity, may seek injunctive or equitable relief without the necessity of posting bond or proving that it has no adequate remedy at law. 

7. PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS AND TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS 

7.1 Title to Inventions conceived and reduced to practice solely by University shall reside in University (“University Inventions”). Title to all
Inventions conceived and reduced to practice solely by Sponsor shall reside in Sponsor (“Sponsor Inventions”). Title to all inventions and discoveries conceived and reduced to practice jointly by Sponsor and University shall reside jointly
in Sponsor and University (“Joint Inventions”). University hereby grants to Sponsor an exclusive first option to negotiate a royalty- bearing exclusive license for any invention or discovery that is conceived or reduced to practice during
the term of this Agreement directly resulting from the performance of research hereunder to the extent that University is able to do so under applicable law. It is contemplated that, in the majority of instances, Sponsor will be asked to determine
whether it will exercise its option prior to the filing of the first patent application. University reserves for itself a royalty-free, irrevocable license to make and use such University Inventions and Joint Inventions for its own research and
educational purposes, but not for commercial purposes during the option period. If a University Invention or Joint Invention arises from the Research Program, the Principal Investigator shall promptly submit an invention

disclosure (http://www.otc.utexas.edu/InventorForms.jsp) to University’s Office of Technology Commercialization (“OTC”). University will provide to Sponsor a full copy of
such disclosure promptly after such disclosure is received by OTC. Sponsor may review (and University shall provide to Sponsor) any and all patentability and freedom to operate opinions that have been commissioned by the University. A Sponsor Entity
shall then have ninety (90) days from receipt of such disclosure of any University Invention or Joint Invention to notify University of its desire to enter into such a license agreement, and a non-binding term sheet and thereafter a license
agreement shall be negotiated in good faith within a period not to exceed six (6) months (“License Option Period”) from the applicable Sponsor Entity’s notification to University of its desire to enter into a license agreement,
or such period of time as the parties shall mutually agree in writing. The parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, a license agreement with terms and conditions substantially similar to existing license agreements between the parties, to the
extent allowed by current law, University policy, and reasonable updates to financial terms. During the License Option Period, University agrees that it will not offer its rights in University Inventions or Joint Inventions to any third party or
negotiate with third parties with respect to those rights. If the parties fail to enter into a license agreement within the License Option Period under the provisions of this Section 7.1, University rights in University Inventions and Joint
Inventions shall be disposed of in accordance with University policies with no further obligations to Sponsor. 
 7.2 “Background Intellectual
Property” (“BIP”) means intellectual property and the legal rights therein (including, but not limited to, inventions, patent applications, patents, copyrights, and any information embodying proprietary data such as technical data and
computer software) of University developed or created by Principal Investigator(s) before the Effective Date of the Research Program and necessary for the full exercise of all intellectual property which is related to the Research Program.
University BIP is listed in Attachment B of this Agreement. The Parties agree that nothing in this Agreement grants either Party any rights to any background intellectual property of the other Party created before the Effective Date of the
Agreement. 
 7.3 The applicable Sponsor Entity has the right to elect to have patent applications filed on any University Invention or Joint Invention, and
if it does so, then such Sponsor Entity shall reimburse University for all documented, out-of-pocket patent expenses incurred by University, including those for patentability opinions, within thirty (30) days of such Sponsor Entity’s
receipt of an invoice from University. Such patent expenses shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of any prior activities investigating patentability of said invention before exercise of the option, such as search and opinion for
patentability, that may have been performed by University pursuant to its arrival at a judgment of commercially exploitable status. Following expiration of the License Option Period, and in the event that University grants a license to any
University Inventions to a third party (the “Third Party License”), University shall pay to the applicable Sponsor Entity its reasonable costs incurred in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the licensed
University Inventions or Joint Inventions paid under the Third Party License with the following priority for payment: i) in one full payment from the fees reimbursed to University by a third party under the executed license; or if necessary, ii) on
a quarterly basis, a royalty (the “Third Party Royalty”) equal to one hundred percent (100%) of

University’s net licensing revenue attributable to the Third Party License (including license fees, royalties, revenue sharing, milestone payments and other monetary payments) until such
time as University has paid to such Sponsor Entity aggregate Third Party Royalties equal to such Sponsor Entity’s reasonable costs incurred in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the licensed University
Inventions. 
 7.4 At its discretion, University may allow the applicable Sponsor Entity to instruct Prosecution Counsel directly for University Inventions
and Joint Inventions, provided, that prior written approval is obtained and the Prosecution Counsel remains counsel to the University with an appropriate contract (and shall not jointly represent such Sponsor Entity unless requested by such Sponsor
Entity and approved by University, not to be unreasonably denied, and an appropriate engagement letter and conflict, waiver are in effect). If such Sponsor Entity wishes to instruct Prosecution Counsel directly or change Prosecution Counsel, such
Sponsor Entity may request to do so by following the University’s procedures for such. Subject to the terms herein University reserves in its sole discretion the ability to change Prosecution Counsel and to approve or disapprove any requested
changes by such Sponsor Entity. The Parties agree that they share a common legal interest to get valid enforceable patents in strategically important countries and that both Parties will maintain as privileged all information received pursuant to
this Section 7. Each Party agrees to cooperate fully in the preparation, filing, and prosecution of any patent and any joint patent, as described herein. Such cooperation includes without limitation executing all papers and instruments, or requiring
its representatives to execute such papers and instruments, so as to effectuate the ownership of such intellectual property rights. 
 7.5 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, University hereby grants to Sponsor a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty free right and license, with the right to sublicense to third parties through multiple tiers, to use the Data
and Results for any and all purposes. Data and Results mean all data, information and results arising from the Research Program that are included in the Research Program deliverables but are not inventions and discoveries for which a patent
invention disclosure is made. 
 8. LIABILITY 

8.1 Sponsor agrees to defend (and subject to the statutory duties of the Texas State Attorney General to defend University, if applicable),indemnify and hold
harmless System, University, their Regents, officers, agents and employees from any liability, loss or damage they may suffer as a result of third party claims, demands, costs or judgments against them arising out of the activities to be carried out
pursuant to the obligations of this Agreement, including but not limited to the use by Sponsor of the results obtained from the activities performed by University under this Agreement; provided, however, that the following is excluded from
Sponsor’s obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless:

a written request for consent to assign, the receiving Party will respond in writing within thirty (30) days. If the receiving Party does not respond in writing within thirty (30) days, that
Party’s silence will be deemed to mean that the receiving Party consents to the assignment. Any assignment made without the written or deemed consent of the non-assigning Party will be null and void. Subject to the approval of University, which
may not be unreasonably withheld, Sponsor is permitted to assign this Agreement in connection with a merger or a sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets; provided, however, that such assignee shall have expressly assumed all of the
obligations and liabilities of Sponsor under this Agreement, and provided, further that, University may assign its right to receive payments hereunder. 

13.2 This Agreement constitutes the entire and only agreement between the parties relating to the Research Program, and all prior negotiations,
representations, agreements and understandings are superseded hereby. No agreements altering or supplementing the terms hereof may be made except by means of a written document signed by the duly authorized representatives of University and Funding
Sponsor. Terms and conditions which may be set forth (front, reverse, attached or incorporated) in any purchase order issued by Sponsor in connection with this Agreement shall not apply, except for informational billing purposes; i.e., reference to
purchase order number, address for submission of invoices, or other invoicing items of a similar informational nature.

	 	a)	Engineering enzymes having high catalytic proficiency (kcat/Km) and substrate specificity, as required for human therapeutic purposes. 


 

	 	b)	High thermodynamic stability in vitro and in physiological fluids, namely in human serum 

  

	 	c)	Formulation of the enzymes from 1.1-1.4 for prolonged circulation half-life by conjugation or polyethylene glycol or similar means. 

  


	 	d)	Development of lab scale processes for the preparative production of these enzymes at scale. 

  

	 	e)	In vitro studies to evaluate the effect of the engineered enzymes from 1.1-1.4 on cancer cell lines and, if available on primary tumor cells. 


 

	 	f)	Evaluation of the efficacy of the enzymes from 1.1-1.4 above in xenograft tumor mouse models, as applicable. 

  

	 	g)	Mechanistic studies as might be required to support Investigative New Drug applications (IND) to the FDA specifically addressing the impact of enzymes from 1.1-1.4 on cell cycle arrest, autophagy and apoptotic death of
