                                         previously granted to Oncotelic with regard to the original SMARTICLESTM Field shall
                                         be extended to the Reverted Field automatically, and without further action by the parties,
                                         provided that Oncotelic complies with all of the terms and conditions of this
                                         Agreement with respect to any Licensed Product made, used or sold in the Reverted Field.
                                         Oncotelic shall be responsible and shall reimburse Marina upon demand for all costs and

| | 5.1.2 | If
                                         at any time Oncotelic determines that it may develop any technology, discoveries, innovations,
                                         or improvements (each, an “Innovation”) which would be considered
                                         Marina Technology under Section 5.1.1(ii), then Oncotelic shall promptly notify Marina
                                         in writing thereof, generally describing the anticipated Innovation and the development
                                         plan for realizing such Innovation and confirming Marina’s ownership rights to
                                         such Innovation pursuant to Section 5.1.1(ii). Oncotelic may also submit simultaneously
                                         a term sheet outlining the proposed terms for a license of such Innovation from Marina.
                                         Marina shall have the unrestricted right to use (and to license and sublicense), in the
                                         Territory each such Innovation outside the Field hereunder, and upon the termination
                                         of this Agreement Marina shall own all of the rights to practice each Innovation in the
                                         Territory.

(a)
Any such description and term sheet shall be deemed Confidential Information of Oncotelic hereunder unless and until the parties
enter into a definitive license agreement with respect to such Innovation, in which case the treatment of such description and
terms shall be addressed in such definitive agreement.



(b)
If Oncotelic submits a proposed term sheet regarding an Innovation to Marina after the expiration of the New Technology Period,
then within a reasonable time following receipt of such notice, the parties shall enter into negotiations regarding Oncotelic’s
proposal. All such negotiations shall be conducted by the parties in good faith. If, despite such good faith negotiations, Marina
and Oncotelic do not reach agreement on the terms of such an agreement within three (3) months (or such longer period as agreed
by the parties in writing) from the notification in writing by Oncotelic to Marina, then Oncotelic may proceed with such Innovation
at its own risk, with the understanding that it will have no right to practice such Innovation outside the Field without the written
agreement of Marina and will be obligated under Section 5.3 to assign all of its right, title and interest in such Innovation
to Marina; provided, that if, after such assignment, Marina offers licensing conditions for such Innovation to a Third
Party for any country in the Territory that are, taken as a whole, financially and/or commercially materially more favorable than
those that were last proposed by Oncotelic in writing in the parties’ negotiations, Marina shall propose those new terms
in writing to Oncotelic, which shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such new terms to exercise the right to negotiate
in good faith and execute with Marina an agreement on the same terms and conditions as those offered by Marina to such Third Party.
After expiration of such thirty (30) days, Marina shall be free to enter into an agreement with such Third Party on such terms.

(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Marina shall have the sole and exclusive right to seek patent protection for each Innovation, and
any patent application filed during the New Technology Period or issued patent claiming such Innovation shall constitute a Marina
Patent covered by the license set forth herein. Oncotelic shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Marina in furtherance
of such patent application. Marina agrees that it will not license (or disclose any non-public information regarding) any Innovation
to any Third Party seeking to utilize any Delivery Technology in conjunction with any gene-editing technology, provided,
that Marina shall have no liability to Oncotelic if another licensee of a Delivery Technology, without any breach by Marina of
the foregoing, independently develops (as evidenced by such licensee’s contemporaneous records) technology, discoveries,
innovations, or improvements substantially similar to an Innovation.

                                         does not seek such protective order and the Receiving Party is, in the opinion of its
                                         counsel, compelled to disclose such Confidential Information under pain or liability
                                         for contempt or other censure or penalty, disclosure of such information may be made
                                         without liability.

                                         Claim covered by this Article 11. An Indemnitee shall not, except at its own cost, voluntarily
                                         make any payment or incur any expense with respect to any claim or suit without the prior
                                         written consent of the indemnifying party, which such party shall not be required to
                                         give.

| | 15.3.3 | Stock
                                         on Hand. In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Oncotelic shall

                                         rights sublicensed to it by Oncotelic and (iv) Marina shall have no obligations under
                                         such sublicense that are different from or greater than its obligations to Oncotelic
                                         under this Agreement; provided, further, that any such sublicensee shall only
                                         be responsible for any payments that become due as a result solely of such sublicensee’s
                                         activities after the effective date of any such termination and such sublicensee will
                                         be credited for any license payments already paid prior to the effective date of any
                                         such termination as if such payment had been made by such sublicensee.

                                         and/or obligations hereunder shall, in writing to the non-assigning party, expressly

                                         Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each
                                         party’s permitted successors-in-interest and permitted assigns. Any assignment

                                         shall be null and void and of no legal effect.
