 Trademark in connection with marketing and sales activity related to the Diagnostic Tests. These licenses to
the ARCA Technology and the Trademark convey no rights to the manufacture, use, sale or other commercialization of the Drug Product, which rights are expressly reserved exclusively to ARCA, and shall not interfere with or restrict, in any way,
ARCA’s rights, or those of its licensees, to develop, make, have made, perform, use, sell, offer for sale or import the Drug Product. 
 2.3 Sublicenses of Third Party Rights to LabCorp. LabCorp understands that the rights that may be granted hereunder include certain rights sublicensed to ARCA pursuant to the CardioDx Agreement and
the UC Licenses, and that the sublicense granted to LabCorp in Section 2.1 is subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of the UC Licenses and the CardioDx Agreement, except that LabCorp is subject to a different royalty rate
and other non-royalty obligations, as referenced in Section 7.1 and contained in the CardioDx Agreement, than are set forth in the UC Licenses. 
 2.4 No Implied Licenses. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall acquire any license or other intellectual property interest, by implication or otherwise, to any

the Diagnostic Tests in the Territory, and of the use of the Trademark in connection therewith, by giving written notice to ARCA. The terms of a sublicense granted by LabCorp hereunder shall be subject to ARCA’s prior written approval (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall include a requirement that (a) the sublicensee use its commercially reasonable efforts to bring the subject matter of the sublicense into commercial use as quickly as is reasonably possible,
consistent with sound and reasonable business practices and judgment and in compliance with the Commercialization Plans (as

  

 Development, Commercialization and Licensing Agreement-Confidential-Page 7 








 
applicable), (b) the sublicense is subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (c) the sublicense cannot be further sublicensed and (d) the sublicense
shall terminate upon termination or expiration of this Agreement as provided in Article X. Copies of all sublicense agreements shall be provided to ARCA within fifteen (15) days of execution thereof. LabCorp hereby assumes responsibility
for the performance of all obligations so imposed on its sublicensees by this Agreement and will itself pay and account to ARCA for all payments and reports due under this Agreement which may accrue by reason of the operations of each sublicense, as
if it were LabCorp’s own commercial activity. 
 2.7 Right of First Refusal for Canada. During the term of this
Agreement, ARCA shall provide LabCorp with written notice prior to the first occasion that ARCA solicits any interest in, makes any offers for, or engages in any negotiations with any other Persons with respect to, any rights to make, have made,
perform, use, sell, offer for sale, or import Diagnostic Tests (in the form of a Homebrew Assay, IVD Product or IVD Kit) in Canada for use in the Field. Upon LabCorp’s receipt of such notice and for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter,
ARCA agrees to have good faith, exclusive negotiations with LabCorp regarding a possible license or other transfer of such rights to LabCorp with respect to Canada (under terms no less favorable than those set forth in this Agreement), unless
LabCorp notifies ARCA that it is not interested in such rights. If no agreement is entered into between ARCA and LabCorp during this ninety (90) day period, ARCA shall be permitted to negotiate with Third Parties and enter into agreement(s)
with Third Parties relating to such rights in Canada with terms that are no less favorable to ARCA than those offered to LabCorp. However, ARCA shall not negotiate or enter into agreement(s) with Third Parties with terms that are less favorable to
ARCA than those offered to LabCorp, unless ARCA first offers such terms to LabCorp in writing and allows LabCorp a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such terms to accept or reject such terms. 
 2.8 Rights of LabCorp Affiliates under CardioDx Agreement. The LabCorp Affiliates listed on Exhibit A hereto shall be included
within the sublicense granted under Section 2.1 subject to the approval of CardioDx. ARCA agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the Effective Date or (b) written
agreement by the Parties on the Commercial Plan, the written approval of CardioDx for these LabCorp Affiliates (and, in addition, wholly-owned Affiliates that LabCorp may acquire in the future) to be included within the sublicense granted under
Section 2.1. In the event ARCA fails to obtain such written approval within the time period specified above, ARCA shall immediately notify LabCorp in writing. In the event that ARCA obtains such agreement for future-acquired Affiliates,
ARCA agrees to amend this Agreement to include such Affiliates in the license grant.

 Development, Commercialization and Licensing Agreement-Confidential-Page 9 








 (d) following commercial launch of the Drug Product, consult on the commercial and
sales progress of the IVD Product and IVD Kit; and 
 (e) perform such other functions as appropriate to further the
purposes of this Agreement as determined by the Parties, except that the development, commercialization, and promotion of the Homebrew Assay shall be the sole responsibility of LabCorp, not within the scope of functions and powers of the Diagnostic
Committee, and shall be conducted in conformance with all applicable laws and regulations as interpreted and enforced by Regulatory Authorities. 
 3.5 Diagnostics Committee Actions or Decisions. Actions or decisions by the Diagnostics Committee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be taken or made by the unanimous vote of the

of a meeting of the Diagnostics Committee, proposing the agenda items it wishes to discuss at such meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Diagnostics Committee shall be free to consider any matter related to this Agreement which is within the
scope of its responsibilities and is brought to its attention by any Party at any meeting. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 DEVELOPMENT PHASE 
 4.1 Scope. LabCorp shall commence and diligently pursue the development of the Commercial Platform, as more particularly set forth in this Article IV, and use commercially reasonable efforts to: 1) legally market the Commercial
Platform within a time period thereafter to be agreed upon by the Parties, but in any case by the time the Drug Product is first available for commercial sale in the Territory; and 2) obtain Regulatory Approval of the Commercial Platform by the date
of first commercial sale of the Drug Product or as soon as reasonably practical thereafter. LabCorp will have executive and financial responsibility for development of the Commercial Platform. The Parties will cooperate in an effort to obtain
Regulatory Approval as described below. 
  

 Development, Commercialization and Licensing Agreement-Confidential-Page 10 








 4.2 Development of Commercial Platform. LabCorp will be responsible for using
commercially reasonable efforts to design and develop the Commercial Platform. The Parties anticipate that the Commercial Platform will utilize the least-intrusive procedure that is practical and commercially reasonable, such as a blood-based and/or
buccal swab procedure. LabCorp will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Regulatory Approval of the Commercial Platform (i.e., as an IVD Product) prior to the first commercial sale of the Drug Product in the Territory, but the Parties
acknowledge that the Commercial Platform may be available commercially only in the form of a Homebrew Assay, that has not received Regulatory Approval, by the time of first commercial sale. The Parties anticipate initially seeking Regulatory
Approval of the Commercial Platform as a centralized, laboratory procedure, and later as an IVD Kit that can be performed in a de-centralized fashion by LabCorp or by Third Parties, as discussed below. The Parties will use reasonable commercial
efforts to obtain a Regulatory Approval of the Commercial Platform that will permit (among other things) ARCA and LabCorp to market the usefulness of the Diagnostic Tests in determining the appropriateness of, and the clinical outcomes expected from
use of the Drug Product, and to reference the Commercial Platform in the labeling of the Drug Product. ARCA will consult with LabCorp, as needed, in order to facilitate the development of the Commercial Platform. The Commercial Platform, and any
amendments or modifications thereto, will be subject to ARCA’s commercially reasonable approval. 
 4.3 Regulatory Plan.
ARCA, in consultation with LabCorp, will develop a regulatory plan (the “Regulatory Plan”). The purpose of the Regulatory Plan is to provide the Parties with an outline of the overall strategy and timelines, and identifying
documentation necessary to obtain, Regulatory Approval of the Drug Product and the Commercial Platform, and the degree to which the Regulatory Approval of the Commercial Platform will be integrated with that of the Drug Product. The development,
approval, commercialization and promotion of the Drug Product shall be the sole responsibility of ARCA. The Parties acknowledge that, based on the guidance of Regulatory Authorities, Regulatory Approval of the Drug Product and the Commercial
Platform may be sought through submissions to Regulatory Authorities under a single application, whether as a Combination Product or through some other combination of use as may be permitted or required by Regulatory Authorities, or under separate
applications. To the extent that Regulatory Approval of the Drug Product and the Commercial Platform are sought through separate applications, consistent with the guidance of Regulatory Authorities, LabCorp and ARCA agree to develop the Regulatory
Plan to support each other’s separate submissions; provided, that the final content of the Plan shall remain within ARCA’s control and discretion, and further provided that those portions of the Regulatory Plan concerning the Diagnostic
Tests and the design and development of the Commercial Platform (including the IVD Product and the IVD Kit), and any amendments or modifications thereto, will be subject to LabCorp’s commercially reasonable approval. The marketing of the
Homebrew Assay, if made available, shall be solely the responsibility of LabCorp and shall not be inconsistent with the Regulatory Plan for the commercialization of the IVD Product and IVD Kit. The Regulatory Plan will be completed within one
hundred twenty (120) days of the date hereof and will clearly indicate: 
 (a) Whether Regulatory Approval will be

 4.6 Trademark for the
Diagnostic Tests. ARCA will be primarily responsible for identifying a trademark to be used in connection with the marketing, sale, distribution and promotion of the Commercial Platform in the Territory (the “Trademark”). The
Trademark shall be acceptable to LabCorp. As soon as practical, and prior to first commercial sale of the Drug Product, and to the extent it is legally able to do so, ARCA will file and prosecute a trademark application with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office to try to obtain a federal trademark registration for the use of the Trademark in connection with the marketing, sale, distribution and promotion of the Commercial Platform, including, if applicable, the IVD Product. ARCA shall
be responsible for, and pay all fees and costs relating to, the prosecution, maintenance and defense of the Trademark. Subject to its reasonable commercial judgment, ARCA will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain Regulatory Approval to
include the Trademark in the labeling for the Drug Product, and ARCA agrees to include the Trademark in the labeling for the Drug Product if permitted to do so. ARCA shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Trademark, subject to
LabCorp’s license under Section 2.2; provided that ARCA shall have the right to reasonably approve all such uses of the Trademark by LabCorp. Each Party shall notify the other Party promptly upon learning of any actual, alleged, or

 (c) ARCA’s obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement will be performed in a competent manner in conformance with the

attorneys’ fees (“Losses”) resulting from: [    *    ]. 
 11.2 ARCA Indemnification. ARCA hereby agrees to save, defend, and hold LabCorp and its agents and employees harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from: (i) breach by ARCA or its Affiliates in the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement (except in the case where exclusive remedies are specified for such breach); (ii) negligence or willful misconduct on the part of ARCA or its Affiliates; (iii) the manufacture, use, handling, storage,
sale, distribution, or other disposition of the Drug Product by ARCA, its Affiliates, agents, or sublicensees; and (iv) claims that the development, manufacture, performance, use, sale or importation of the Diagnostic Tests interferes with or
infringes any intellectual property rights owned or possessed by any Third Party, but only to the extent LabCorp is not indemnified against such claims under the LabCorp CardioDx Agreement (if applicable), and only to the extent such claims are
based on intellectual property rights licensed hereunder. 
 11.3 Indemnification Procedures. A Party (the
“Indemnitee”) which intends to claim indemnification under this Section shall notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) within a reasonable time in writing of any action, claim or liability in respect of which the
Indemnitee believes it is entitled to claim indemnification, provided that the failure to give timely notice to the Indemnitor shall not release the Indemnitor from any liability to the Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitor is not prejudiced
thereby. The Indemnitor shall have the right, by notice to the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any such action or claim after the Indemnitor’s receipt of notice of any action or claim with counsel of the Indemnitor’s choice and at the
sole cost of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor does not so assume the defense of such third party claim, the Indemnitee may assume such defense with reasonable counsel of its choice and at the sole cost of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor so
assumes such defense, the Indemnitee may participate therein through counsel of its choice, but at the sole cost of the Indemnitee. The Party not assuming the defense of any such claim shall render all reasonable assistance to the Party assuming
such defense upon request, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such assistance shall be for the account of the Indemnitor. No such claim shall be settled other than by the Party defending the same, and then only with the consent of the other
Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Indemnitee shall have no obligation to consent to any settlement of any such action or claim which imposes on the Indemnitee any liability or obligation which cannot be assumed
and performed in full by the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitee shall have no right to withhold its consent to any settlement of any such action or claim if the settlement involves only the payment of money by the Indemnitor or its insurer.
