VI. INFRINGEMENT

6.1 LICENSOR represents that, to the best of its knowledge, as of the EFFECTIVE DATE, the entire right, title, and interest in the patent applications or patents
comprising the LICENSED PATENTS have been assigned to it (or VCU) free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any inventor or any non-governmental third party and that it (or VCU) has all requisite power and authority to grant the



6



---

license contained in this AGREEMENT. LICENSOR also represents that it has received no notification (i) that the LICENSED PATENTS are invalid or
(ii) that the exercise by LICENSEE of the rights granted hereunder will infringe on any patent or other proprietary right of any third party. LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that all rights licensed by the LICENSOR hereunder are licensed
as is and without any representation, indemnification or warranty with respect to possible infringement of third party rights. In the event of a third party infringement action against either party with respect to any LICENSED PATENTS,
LICENSEE will defend LICENSOR and VCU at LICENSEEs expense, with the understanding that breaching such obligation may result in a default judgment against LICENSEE, its AFFILIATES, SUBLICENSEEs, and/or LICENSOR (however, LICENSEES
failure to defend shall not prevent VCU and LICENSOR from defending themselves). LICENSEE shall indemnify, defend and hold VCU and LICENSOR harmless from any such judgment, and without limitation shall pay any damages awarded in any such judgment
against VCU and LICENSOR. LICENSOR will cooperate as requested by LICENSEE, and will be compensated by LICENSEE for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in such cooperation, which LICENSOR will only be required to expend if LICENSEE has
approved the same for reimbursement. No settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of any suit that would affect the validity, scope or enforceability of the LICENSED PATENTS, by estoppel, admission or otherwise, or the
LICENSORS rights in or to same, may be entered into without the consent of LICENSOR, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

6.2 LICENSEE and
LICENSOR shall promptly inform each other in writing of any alleged infringement of the LICENSED PATENTS by a third party.

6.3 During the term of this
AGREEMENT, LICENSOR will have the right, but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense all infringements of the LICENSED PATENTS and, in furtherance of such right, LICENSOR may include LICENSEE, upon agreement by LICENSEE, as a party
plaintiff in any such suit, at LICENSEES expense. Each party shall bear its own costs of prosecuting any such infringement action, shall be entitled to prove and recover any damages, and distribution shall be governed by Section 6.5. Upon
mutual agreement of the parties, each may assign to the other its right to sue for past, present, or future infringement of the LICENSED PATENTS, and to agree to a method to allocate damages recovered by the assignee of such rights.

6.4 LICENSOR or LICENSEE shall have three (3) months after having been notified of any alleged infringement to investigate whether infringement can be established.
If LICENSOR determines that infringement exits, then it shall have three (3) months to negotiate in good faith with the alleged infringer to resolve the dispute. At the end of such period, if the dispute has not been resolved, LICENSOR shall
have forty five (45) days to commence prosecuting an infringement action (the filing period). If LICENSOR determines that infringement can be established and (a) at any time decides not to pursue an action against the alleged infringer, or
(b) fails to commence prosecuting an action before the end of the filing period, then LICENSOR shall notify LICENSEE of its intention not to bring suit against any alleged infringer. In those events only, LICENSEE shall have the right but shall
not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense any infringement of the LICENSED PATENTS, and LICENSOR hereby agrees at its discretion and upon terms to be mutually agreed by the parties, to either be named as a plaintiff in any such proceedings
or to assign its rights to sue for infringement. LICENSEE shall pay all of LICENSORS costs and reasonable attorney fees incurred in such action. No settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of the suit shall be entered
into without the consent of LICENSOR, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. LICENSEE hereby indemnifies LICENSOR against any order for costs or attorney fees that may be made against LICENSOR in such proceedings instituted by LICENSEE.

monetary recovery by LICENSOR shall be divided equally between LICENSOR and LICENSEE, after recovering of attorneys and court costs. In the event that LICENSEE undertakes the enforcement and/or defense of the LICENSED PATENTS by litigation, any
monetary recovery by LICENSEE shall be shared equally with LICENSOR, after recovering of attorneys and court costs.

6.6 In any infringement suit that
either party may institute to enforce the LICENSED PATENTS pursuant to this AGREEMENT, the other party hereto shall, at the request of the party initiating such suit and upon reasonable notice, cooperate in all respects and, to the extent possible,
have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information samples, models, specimens and the like.

6.7 LICENSEE,
during the exclusive period of this AGREEMENT, shall have the sole right, subject to approval by LICENSOR, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, in accordance with the terms and conditions herein to SUBLICENSE to any alleged infringer for future
use of LICENSED PATENTS. Prior to the distribution of sublicensing fees received from an alleged infringer as specified in Article III, LICENSOR shall be compensated for any and all expenses incurred by it, if any, in that regard prior to the
commencement of the SUBLICENSE with the infringer.

6.8 In the event that any legal action alleging invalidity or noninfringement of any of the LICENSED
PATENTS shall be brought against LICENSEE, or LICENSOR, LICENSOR, at its option, shall have the right within thirty (30) days after the commencement of such action, to intervene and take over the sole defense of the action at its own expense.
If LICENSOR chooses not to intervene, LICENSEE shall have the option to intervene and take over the sole defense at its own expense.

7.4 The LICENSEE must provide notice to the LICENSOR of its intention to file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or,
where known to the LICENSEE, of another partys intention to file an involuntary petition in bankruptcy for the LICENSEE, said notice must be received by the LICENSOR at least thirty (30) days prior to filing such petition. LICENSOR may
terminate this AGREEMENT upon receipt of such notice at its sole discretion. The LICENSEES failure to provide such notice to LICENSOR will be deemed a material, pre-petition, incurable breach of this AGREEMENT and the AGREEMENT will terminate
automatically on the date of filing such voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy.

7.5 Notwithstanding the above, this AGREEMENT and the licenses
granted herein shall immediately and automatically terminate without notice in the event LICENSEE, or its AFFILIATES, SUBLICENSEES or any other party acting under authority of LICENSEE, violates any provision of the Indemnification and Insurance
sections. A termination occurring under this Section 7.5 shall occur and become effective at the time of the violation that causes such termination, and LICENSEE and its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES shall have no right to complete production and
sale of LICENSED PRODUCTS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such rights are still available for licensing, LICENSEE shall have the right to reinstate the effectiveness of this AGREEMENT by obtaining the required insurance, whereupon
this AGREEMENT shall automatically become effective as of the date of reinstatement of said insurance, and shall remain in full force and effect without any further action of the parties hereto until termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT

| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.7 No relaxation, forbearance, delay or indulgence by either party in enforcing any of the terms of this AGREEMENT or the granting of time by either party to the other
shall prejudice, affect or restrict the rights and powers of the former hereunder nor shall any waiver by either party of a breach of this AGREEMENT be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereof.

7.8 The rights to terminate this AGREEMENT given by this clause shall not prejudice any other right or remedy of either party in respect of the breach
concerned (if any) or any other breach.

7.9 Except as provided in Section 7.5, upon termination of this AGREEMENT in whole or in part, LICENSEE shall
have the privilege of selling or otherwise disposing of the inventory of all LICENSED PRODUCTS in process of manufacture, in use or in stock and LICENSEE will also have the right to complete performance of all contracts requiring use or sale of the

VIII. SUBLICENSE(S)

8.1 LICENSEE shall have the right to grant SUBLICENSES subject to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT as stated in Article II and as defined in this Article VIII. AFFILIATES shall have no licenses under the
LICENSED PATENTS unless such AFFILIATES are granted a SUBLICENSE. All SUBLICENSES will include all of the rights of, and will require the performance of all the obligations due to, LICENSOR under this AGREEMENT other than those rights and
obligations in Appendix B Section 2 (License Issue Fee), Appendix B Section 3 (Patent Prosecution Costs) and Appendix B Section 7 (Annual Minimum Payment) of this AGREEMENT. All SUBLICENSES also will contain provisions that either
will require payments sufficient to allow the LICENSEE to meet its obligations to LICENSOR as set forth in Appendix B Sections 5 and 6. In addition to payment of royalties on NET SALES, LICENSEE will pay to LICENSOR a percentage, as specified in
Appendix B Section 6, of SUBLICENSING REVENUES. SUBLICENSE terms and conditions shall reflect that any SUBLICENSEE(s) shall not further SUBLICENSE, without the approval of LICENSOR. For the purposes of this AGREEMENT, LICENSEE shall be
responsible for the performance of all SUBLICENSEES with respect to all obligations of SUBLICENSEES under this AGREEMENT.

8.2 If LICENSEE licenses patent
rights assigned to or otherwise acquired by it (LICENSEES Patent Rights), and it believes, in good faith, that the recipient of such license will infringe LICENSED PATENTS in practicing the LICENSEES Patent Rights, then the
LICENSEE will not separately grant a license to such recipient under LICENSEES Patent Rights without concurrently granting a SUBLICENSE under LICENSED PATENTS on the terms required under this AGREEMENT. In the event that LICENSOR and the

will not infringe patents, trade secrets or other proprietary rights of third parties, (iii) an obligation to bring or prosecute actions or suits against third parties for infringement, (iv) conferring the right to use in advertising,

9.
Royalty Stacking

9.1. The PARTIES recognize that the LICENSEE may need to obtain additional rights and licenses to make, have made, use,
import, sell and offer to sell, and have sold LICENSED PRODUCTS. In the event that the LICENSEES royalty obligation to the LICENSOR combined with third-party obligations (Total Royalty Obligation) exceeds a certain threshold
cumulative royalty, the royalty payable by LICENSEE to LICENSOR will be reduced by an amount proportionate to the amount by which the Total Royalty Obligation by the LICENSEE exceeds the threshold.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) LICENSOR will agree to reduce the royalty only if all parties lower their royalties by the same proportion and (b) the
royalty due to LICENSOR will not be less than 2/3 of the original rate, i.e. for 25% royalty no less than 16.75%

a. For 25% royalty rate a threshold
cumulative royalty of 30%

R2 = 0.25(1-[T-0.30]/T),

where T is the Total Royalty Obligation and R2 is the adjusted royalty to be paid to LICENSOR.

b. For 15% royalty rate a threshold cumulative
royalty of 22%

R2 = 0.15(1-[T-0.22]/T),

But no
less than 2/3 of the original royalty rate or 10.5%.

c. For 10% royalty rate a threshold cumulative royalty of 16%

R2 = 0.10(1-[T-0.16]/T),

But no less than 2/3 of the original
royalty rate or 6.67%.

9. 2. The Parties recognize that the LICENSEE may need to obtain additional rights and licenses that need to be
included in a SUBLICENSE so that the SUBLICENSEE has the necessary rights to make, have made, use, import, sell and offer to sell, and have sold LICENSED PRODUCTS. In the event that the LICENSEES Sublicensee Payment obligations (as described
above) to the LICENSOR combined with sublicensee payment obligations to other licensors (Total Sublicensing Obligation) exceeds a certain threshold cumulative payment percentage to all licensors, the sublicensing percentage payable by
LICENSEE to LICENSOR will be reduced by an amount proportionate to the amount by which the Total Sublicensing Obligations exceeds the threshold.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) LICENSOR will agree to reduce the Sublicense Payment percentage only if all parties lower their Sublicense Payment percentage by the same proportion and (b) the Sublicense Payment percentage rate
due to LICENSOR will not be less than 2/3 of the original rate, i.e. for 25% no less than 16.75%.



18



---

a. For 33% Sublicense Payment rate a threshold cumulative payment percentage of 40%

S2 = 0.33(1-[T-0.40]/T),

where T is the Total Sublicensing
Obligation and S2 is the adjusted Sublicense Payment percentage to be paid to LICENSOR.

But not be less than 2/3 of the original rate, i.e. no less than
21.78%.

b. For 25% Sublicense Payment rate a threshold cumulative payment percentage of 30%

S2 = 0.25(1-[T-0.30]/T),

But not be less than 2/3 of the original rate, i.e. no less than 16.75%.

c. For 20% Sublicense Payment rate a threshold cumulative payment percentage of 30%

S2 = 0.20(1-[T-0.30]/T),

But not be less than 2/3 of the original rate, i.e. no less than 13.2%.

d. For 17% Sublicense Payment rate a threshold cumulative payment percentage of 25%

S2 = 0.17(1-[T-0.25]/T),

But not be less than 2/3 of the original rate, i.e. no less than 11.39%.

e. For 10% Sublicense Payment rate a threshold cumulative payment percentage of 16%

S2 = 0.10(1-[T-0.16]/T),

But not be less than 2/3 of the original rate, i.e. no less than 6.67%.

10. LICENSEE agrees to make the following minimum milestone payments to LICENSOR:

The following milestone payments shall be made with respect to the first LICENSED PRODUCT to achieve each milestone. However, if new LICENSED PRODUCTS are separately patentable (different product groups), the same
milestone payments shall apply to them.
