(a)          Membership.
The JCC shall be composed of six (6) members, three (3) members appointed by each Party, including at least one commercial executive
or his or her designee from each Party authorized to make decisions with respect to matters including, but not limited to, development
and commercialization of the Product. Promptly following the Effective Date, each Party shall appoint its initial representatives
to the JCC. Each Party may replace its JCC representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party. Aytu will designate
one of its representatives as the Chairperson of the JCC. The Chairperson shall be responsible for scheduling meetings, preparing
and circulating an agenda in advance of each meeting (provided that either Party may request to include a specific item on any
such agenda), preparing and issuing minutes of each meeting within thirty (30) days thereafter, revising such minutes to reflect
timely comments thereon, and overseeing the ratification of such revised minutes.


 


(b)          Meetings.
Prior to and during the first twenty-four (24) months following the Transition Date, the JCC shall meet a minimum of four (4) times
per year, and thereafter the JCC shall meet a minimum of two (2) times per year. The Parties shall endeavor to schedule meetings
of the JCC at least two (2) months in advance. Meetings of the JCC shall be held alternately at the headquarters of each of the
Parties or at such location as may be mutually agreed by the Parties. Either Party may invite subject matter experts or other relevant
personnel to attend any meeting of the JCC.


 


(c)          Responsibilities.
The JCC shall:


 


(i)          Coordinate
and monitor the planning and implementation of the commercialization of the Product, such monitoring and review to include a comprehensive
review of the detailing efforts completed for the Product (Aytu to provide such information prior to the applicable JCC meeting);


 


(ii)         Review
and approve the marketing plan for the Product on an annual basis (such marketing plan to be prepared and submitted to the JCC
by Aytu sufficiently advance of the applicable JCC to permit review by Acerus), such marketing plan to include relevant details
relating to the proposed commercialization strategy and tactics for the coming year, including, without limitation, proposed targeting
methodology and lists, resourcing, Representative incentive compensation proposals, call plans and key marketing messages for the
Product;


 






    11 


     


    

 


(iii)        Review
results and progress of any BID Trial, PMR Trial or any other clinical trial undertaken in connection with the Product and discuss
and prepare proposed amendments or modifications when such changes appear to be advisable to achieve the Parties’ Product
development goals with respect to such matters;


 


(iv)        Facilitate
the exchange of regulatory documents and other regulatory information between the Parties pursuant to ARTICLE 4;


 


(v)         Discuss
the state of the markets for Product in the Territory and opportunities and issues concerning the commercialization of Product,
including consideration of marketing and promotional strategy, marketing research plans, labeling, Product positioning and Product
profile issues;


 


(vi)        Coordinate
and monitor post-Regulatory Approval activities;


 


(vii)       Have
authority to establish one or more other committees that report to the JCC and assist the JCC. Any committees formed beyond the
JCC shall be subordinate to the JCC, shall have such membership and responsibilities as the JCC shall determine (provided that
at least one representative from each Party shall be included on any such committee), and may be disbanded by the JCC at any time;


 


(viii)      Resolve,
or attempt to resolve any disputes not resolved by any subordinate committee created by the JCC; and

such other functions as appropriate to further the purposes of this Agreement and as allocated to it in writing by the Parties.


 


2.2           Decision
Making; Authority. The JCC shall make its decisions by consensus, with each Party’s representatives collectively having
one vote. If the JCC is unable to reach consensus regarding a matter before it, the issue shall be presented by the JCC to the
Parties’ Applicable Senior Officers for resolution. Once an issue has been presented to the Applicable Senior Officers,
they shall have fifteen (15) days to make a final determination regarding the issue in dispute. In the event that the Applicable
Senior Officers are unable to reach a final determination within such fifteen (15) day period, then Acerus shall have the final
decision making authority over (i) the management of and payment for clinical development activities associated with the Cardiovascular
PMR and PMR Trial (including relating to any agreements relating thereto to be entered into by Aytu with the PMR Sponsor Group
or any members thereof), and (ii) decisions relating to the manufacture of Product which do not affect or change in any way the
Specification, the Product NDA, or any other Regulatory Submission, (provided that Acerus shall have the ability to make specification
changes necessary for the approval of a any modified or changed dispenser used for the Product, subject to Aytu’s written
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, it being understood that the economic value of
such specification changes to Aytu apart from considerations of compliance with applicable law, regulations, or regulatory guidance
with respect to safety and efficacy required for approval shall not be taken into account when determining the reasonableness
of Aytu in this regard; provided, however, that Acerus shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Aytu to
minimize any adverse economic consequences (such as Product returns) that may arise as a result of the implementation of any such
modified or changed dispenser for the Product, and Aytu shall have authority to make the final decision with respect to all other
issues relating to regulatory and commercialization.

3.1           Overview
of Development. The Parties shall undertake any further development of Product and conduct and cooperate with respect to any
clinical trials or studies (including, for greater certainty, any BID Trial or PMR Trial) in a collaborative and efficient manner
in accordance with this Article 3.


 






    13 


     


    

 


3.2           
BID Trial. 


 


At its sole and complete
discretion, Aytu may elect to, at its cost, conduct and complete a BID Trial (and submit the applicable Regulatory Submission to
the applicable Regulatory Authorities) with respect to the Product with a view to obtaining an approved dosing protocol providing
for twice-daily (“BID”) usage of the Product. Any such BID Trial (and associated Regulatory Submission) shall be completed
at Aytu’s expense, provided that such trial shall be required to be conducted in accordance with the draft protocol developed
therefor by Acerus (subject to such changes as Acerus may make in its discretion, acting reasonably), and Acerus shall be engaged
and retained to manage and coordinate any such trial, including oversight of any Third Parties required to be engaged by Aytu in
connection with the conduct of such trial. Acerus shall not be entitled to any compensation or reimbursement in connection with
any such BID Trial (except for any direct third party pass-through costs invoiced and actually paid by Acerus in connection with
its management and coordination pursuant to this Section 3.2, which are preapproved by Aytu in writing).

holder of the NDA for the Product following the Transition Date, Aytu acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of
the Cardiovascular PMR shall apply to it with respect to the Product, and Aytu agrees to undertake all necessary steps to comply
with the terms and conditions of the Cardiovascular PMR, including cooperation and coordination with the other Third Parties subject
to the Cardiovascular PMR (such Third Parties, the “PMR Sponsor Group”) in connection with the conduct and funding
of any PMR Trial approved by the FDA (including, for greater certainty, entering into any agreement with the PMR Sponsor Group
with respect to the conduct of any PMR Trial); provided, however, that Aytu shall not, without the consent of Acerus (not
to be unreasonably withheld) be permitted to consent, compromise or agree to any matter with the FDA or the PMR Sponsor Group to
the extent any such consent, compromise or agreement may increase the amount for which Acerus shall be responsible for in connection
with the Cardiovascular PMR or PMR Trial in accordance with this Section 3.3. Aytu agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts
to ensure that Acerus is permitted to directly participate in any meetings or communications between Aytu, on the one hand, and
the PMR Sponsor Group or the FDA, on the other hand, such that Acerus is permitted to provide its input in connection with the
design, implementation or financial responsibilities associated with any PMR Trial or other obligations arising under the Cardiovascular
PMR, and Aytu shall not conduct or consent to the conduct of any PMR Trial relating to the Product without the consent of Acerus,
not to be unreasonably withheld.


 


(b)          Upon
presentation of evidence detailing the amounts paid by Aytu to the PMR Sponsor Group or to any Third Party engaged to perform the
PMR Trial in connection with the conduct of a PMR Trial for the Product, Acerus shall reimburse Aytu for any such amounts actually
paid by Aytu or Aytu has the right to offset any such payment against Aytu’s future payment obligations under this Agreement
as described below. In the event that Acerus fails to pay any undisputed amount owing under this Section 3.3(b), Aytu shall be
entitled to set off any such amount (together with interest accruing at a rate equal to LIBOR (as published in The Wall Street
Journal, New York edition) plus two percent (2%)) against any amounts owing (or that become owing in the future) by Aytu to Acerus
under this Agreement (except for any Delivery Deposit associated with any delivery of Product either before or after the applicable
non-payment by Acerus, which shall remain payable in all circumstances notwithstanding any amounts owing by Acerus to Aytu pursuant
to this Section 3.4)).

otherwise have the final decision with respect to any responses or actions required by such letter or comments, including as may
relate to Post-Approval Development Activities or the commercialization or regulatory aspects of Product.


 


4.5           Inspections.
In the event that any Acerus facility or contract Manufacturing facility will be inspected by representatives of any Regulatory
Authority directed to Acerus’ Manufacture of Product or Clinical Trial Material, Acerus shall notify Aytu promptly after
learning of such inspection, and shall supply Aytu with copies of any correspondence or portions of correspondence which relate
to Product. Following any such inspection, Acerus shall provide Aytu with a written summary of that portion of the inspection

4.6           Product
Recalls and Withdrawals. In the event that a Party becomes aware that Product may not comply with applicable law, rules or
regulations (either by notification from a Regulatory Authority or otherwise) and/or that a recall or withdrawal of Product may
be desirable, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party. If Acerus is the Party that first becomes aware of the necessity/desirability
of Product recall or withdrawal, Acerus shall provide Aytu with the notice described above and upon receipt of such notification
(or in the event that Aytu is the first Party to become aware of the necessity/desirability of Product recall or withdrawal),
Aytu shall undertake an appropriate investigation and make a determination with respect to the disposition of any such matter,
including determining whether Product shall be recalled or withdrawn. If Aytu determines that Product shall be recalled, Aytu
shall develop and implement a plan to conduct such recall. The Party that is predominantly responsible for the applicable Product’s
non-compliance with applicable rules and regulations shall bear all third party costs and expenses actually incurred and associated
with conducting such recall in accordance with such recall plan, unless such recall results predominantly from the other Party’s
material breach of its obligations under this Agreement or unless such recall otherwise predominantly results from the gross negligence
or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of the other Party, in which case the other Party shall bear all third party costs and
expenses actually incurred and associated with such recall. If neither Party is predominantly responsible or responsibility cannot
be ascertained as to the cause of the applicable non-compliance, the Parties shall share equally the third party costs and expenses
of such recall. In all cases, each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement any recall of Product.

month forecast of the quantities of Product (including Clinical Trial Materials) and placebo dispensers that Aytu intends to order
from Acerus during such period (the “Master Production Plan”). The first three months of each Master Production
Plan shall, subject to Section 5.1(b)(iii), be deemed to be a binding, non-cancellable purchase order and shall be accompanied
by any other information required under Section 5.1(c) (the “Purchase Order”). The following twenty-one (21)
months of the Master Production Plan shall be Aytu’s non-binding, good faith estimate of such requirements based on forecasted
demand (“Non-Binding Commitment”). Schedule 5.1(b)(i)-A sets out the maximum annualized and quarterly volumes
of Product able to be manufactured by Acerus as at the date hereof (such maximum volumes to be reviewed on an annual basis by Acerus
and Aytu and increased (but for avoidance of doubt, without the consent of Aytu, not decreased) as may be warranted by market conditions

(i)          Except
to the extent the Parties may otherwise agree with respect to a particular shipment, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing,
all orders for Product placed hereunder shall be submitted to Acerus according to the procedures described in Section 5.1 of this
Agreement. Each Purchase Order for Product shall specify: (A) the type of Product being ordered (i.e., whether the Product
is intended for trade, samples or Clinical Trial Materials); (B) the amount of such Product being requested (which shall be
in accordance with this Section 5.1 and be in even multiples of the Standard Batch Size unless otherwise agreed by Acerus); (C) the
requested Delivery Dates, such Delivery Date to be not less than ninety (90) days following submission of the Purchase Order to
Acerus in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(ii); and (D) the aggregate Delivery Deposit payable in connection with the ordered Product
(calculated in accordance with Section 7.3). Acerus shall supply Product in such quantities on the Delivery Dates set forth in
the Purchase Order.


 


(1)         Acerus
shall furnish to Aytu with each shipment of Product ordered by Aytu hereunder, (i) a certificate of analysis reflecting that such
Product and any Raw Materials used conform to the relevant Specifications and (ii) all documentation required by law, Regulatory
Requirements or any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over such shipment to be provided by a manufacturer of the Product.


 


(2)         Aytu
shall not be required to take receipt of a Batch of Product with less than twenty four (24) months of remaining shelf life, provided
that Aytu and Acerus may nonetheless negotiate in good faith for Aytu to purchase any Batch not meeting the foregoing remaining
shelf-life requirement.


 


(ii)         Property
in, title to, and risk of loss of or damage to, all Raw Materials and Product shall remain with Acerus and pass to Aytu only upon
delivery to Aytu on an EXW-Plant (Incoterms 2010) basis. Acerus shall provide all reasonably requested documentation in connection
with any shipment of Product, and Aytu shall provide Acerus with copies of any shipping-related documentation required by Acerus
in order to comply with applicable laws or regulations.


 


(iii)        In
the event that Product shall fail to strictly conform with the Specifications, Aytu shall reject such Product by giving written
notice to Acerus within (1) thirty (30) days after receipt by Aytu (in the case of patent defects) or (2) twenty five (25) days
from the date when Aytu learned of such defects (in the case of latent defects) in such Product. Any notice given hereunder shall
specify the manner in which Product fails to conform to the Purchase Order or fails to meet the Specifications.


 


(iv)        Aytu
acknowledges and agrees that Acerus shall be entitled to deliver a quantity of Product that is not more than 10% less or greater
than the amount set out in any accepted Purchase Order, and that such delivery shall not entitle Aytu to reject the applicable
Product despite the failure of the delivered quantity to strictly conform to the amount set out in the applicable Purchase Order.


 






    21 


     


    

 


(1)         If
it is determined by agreement of the Parties (or in the absence of agreement of the Parties, by a mutually acceptable independent
laboratory or consultant whose fees shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party) that the non-conformity is due to damage to Product
(i) caused by Aytu or its agents or (ii) which occurs subsequent to delivery of such Product to Aytu in accordance with Section
5.1(c)(ii), Acerus shall have no liability to Aytu with respect thereto. If the non-conformity is caused by any other reason than
those set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Aytu shall be entitled to reduce the amount of any Supply Price or other
amounts due by an amount equal to the price for such non-conforming Product. If payment for non-conforming Product has previously
been made by Aytu, at Aytu’s option, (i) Acerus shall pay Aytu the amount of such credit, (ii) Aytu may offset the amount
thereof against other amounts then due to Acerus hereunder or (iii) Acerus shall replace such non-conforming Product with conforming
Product at no additional cost or expense to Aytu.


 


(2)         In
any case where Aytu rejects non-conforming Product, Aytu shall await written instructions from Acerus as to further disposition
of the non-conforming Product. If Acerus does not provide such instructions within ninety (90) days of receipt of Aytu’s
rejection notice, Aytu shall dispose of Product and invoice Acerus for the costs of disposal. In any event, Aytu may retain samples
of non-conforming Product for the purpose of determining any dispute.


 


(3)         The
rights, remedies and obligations set forth in this Section 5.1(c) shall be the sole rights, remedies and obligations that either
Party may otherwise have with respect to non-conforming Product.


 


(d)          Capacity.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in particular Section 5.1(b)(iii), Acerus shall ensure that Aytu’s
Product requirements are met. In the event that Acerus becomes aware at any time of any matter, circumstance or event which might
reasonably be expected to give rise to an inability to supply Product based on Aytu’s most recent forecasts (including that
the quality standards set forth herein and in the Quality Agreement have been materially compromised such that Acerus may not be
able to supply Product Manufactured to the Product Specifications and/or comply with Regulatory Requirements), Acerus shall give
prompt written notice of such matter, circumstance or event to Aytu, including without limitation, the cause thereof, the anticipated
length of such delay or shortfall and the action to be taken to reduce, minimize or remove the adverse effects of any such delay.
Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such a notice from Acerus, Aytu and Acerus shall meet with a view to agreeing to action
as may be necessary to ensure that no interruption of supply or shortfall in quantities of Product occurs. This Section 5.1(d)
is not intended to lessen or alter Acerus’ supply obligations set forth in this Section 5.1.


 


5.2           Notwithstanding
the foregoing Section 5.1, in the event that Acerus determines in its sole discretion that it would like Aytu to assume responsibility
for obtaining supply of Products or Clinical Trial Materials from Acerus’ third-party manufacturer thereof or another supplier,
the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into a new agreement mutually acceptable to the Parties to provide for an Aytu
technology transfer and royalty-bearing license to make and have made Products on economic terms, including a royalty rate that
provides for substantially the same net profit to Acerus as provided by the Supply Price hereunder and milestone payments on substantially
the same terms as those set forth hereunder, in all cases taking into account any changes to the Parties’ relative economic
risks of the new agreement compared to this Agreement.


 






    22 


     


    

 


5.3           
In the event that a Long Term Inability to Supply with respect to the Product has occurred and is continuing, Aytu shall have the
right to purchase Product from one or more alternative Third Party suppliers and require Acerus to transfer to Aytu and such Third
Party supplier all of the technology necessary for such Third Party supplier to carry out its supply obligations. Upon any transfer
contemplated in this Section 5.3, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into a new agreement mutually acceptable to
the Parties to provide for a royalty-bearing license including a royalty rate that provides for substantially the same net profit
to Acerus as provided by the Supply Price hereunder and milestone payments on substantially the same terms as those set forth hereunder,
in all cases taking into account any changes to the Parties’ relative economic risks of the new agreement compared to this
Agreement

(b)          Access
to Records. Subject to the other terms of this Section 7.8, either party (the “Requesting Party”) may audit
the records of the other Party (the “Audited Party”). If the Audited Party is Aytu, the records to be audited
are records regarding Net Sales (including, for greater certainty, the Supply Price applicable in respect of all Net Sales) or
Aytu’s compliance with ARTICLE 6 of this Agreement (including detailed information relevant to the number of Representatives
engaged by or on behalf of Aytu with respect to the Product and the Primary Details completed thereby). If Acerus is the Audited
Party the records to be audited are records regarding Manufacturing. Such audit shall be conducted (i) after at least thirty (30)
days prior written notice from the Requesting Party, (ii) at the facility(ies) where the applicable records are maintained, (iii)
without disruption to operations of the Audited Party (to the extent reasonably practicable, such examination shall be completed
within five (5) Business Days), and (iv) no more frequently than once in any calendar year. The audit shall be conducted by (1)
a nationally recognized independent certified public accountant selected by the Requesting Party (but not the accountant that conducts
or has within the past three (3) years conducted the audit of such Requesting Party’s financial statements) or (2) in the
case of an audit of Acerus’ development work on Product, professionals of Aytu’s choosing having the appropriate scientific
and/or regulatory background and experience. The auditor will execute a written confidentiality agreement with the Audited Party
that is substantially similar to the confidentiality provisions of ARTICLE 10 and limiting the disclosure and use of information
obtained from such audit to authorized representatives of the Parties and the purposes germane to this Section 7.8. The auditor
will disclose to the Requesting Party only the amount and accuracy of costs or payments, as applicable, reported and actually paid
or otherwise payable under this Agreement. The auditor will send a copy of the report to both Parties at the same time. The Requesting
Party shall be responsible for expenses for the audit, except that the Audited Party shall reimburse the Requesting Party up to
$25,000 for such independent accountant documented services if the independent accountant determines that payments made by the
Audited Party are less than ninety five percent (95%) of the amount actually owed for the period of the audit (or if, in the case
of Aytu, it is determined that Aytu has not complied with the provisions of ARTICLE 6 of this Agreement during the applicable period)
and such determination is finally resolved in favor of the Requesting Party pursuant to Section 7.8(c) below if contested by the
Audited Party. All inspections made hereunder shall be made no later than two (2) years after the records subject to the investigation
were due, and all records not so audited within two (2) years will be deemed accurate and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.


 


(c)          Underpayment
or Overpayment. If, as a result of any audit pursuant to Section 7.8(b), it is shown that the Audited Party’s payments to
the Requesting Party under this Agreement with respect to the period of time audited were less than the amount that should have
been paid pursuant to this Agreement, then the Audited Party shall, within thirty (30) days after the Requesting Party’s
demand therefor, either pay the Requesting Party the amount of such shortfall, or proceed to the dispute resolution mechanism set
forth in Section 7.8(d) below. If, as a result of any audit pursuant to Section 7.8(b), it is shown that the Audited Party’s
payments to the Requesting Party under this Agreement with respect to the period of time audited exceeded the amount that should
have been paid pursuant to this Agreement, then the Requesting Party shall, within thirty (30) days after the Audited Party’s
demand therefor, either pay the Audited Party the amount of such excess, or proceed to the dispute resolution mechanism set forth
in Section 7.8(d) below.


 






    29 


     


    

 


(d)          Resolution
of Dispute as to Audit. In the event that the Parties do not agree on the amount of overpayment or underpayment, within thirty
(30) days, each Party shall select an independent public accounting firm (and each Party shall pay the costs of its own accounting
firm), which shall meet and discuss the amount in dispute and other related matters within thirty (30) days thereafter. If such
independent public accounting firms cannot agree on a resolution mutually agreeable to the Parties, such independent public accounting
firms shall, within thirty (30) days after such selection, appoint a third independent public accounting firm which shall resolve
the issue within thirty (30) days after its selection, and the Parties shall equally share the costs of such accounting firm. The
recommendation of the third independent public accounting firm shall be final and binding upon the Parties. A judgment on such
firm’s disposition may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the resolution of any dispute under this Section 7.8 shall be made under this Section 7.8(d) instead and in lieu of Section
15.11. The preceding sentence shall not preclude the application of Section 15.11 to any contract interpretation issue (as compared
to an accounting issue which would be precluded from determination under Section 15.11).


 


7.9           Right
of Setoff. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
Aytu reserves the right to set off at any time any amount owing to it by Acerus against any amount payable by Aytu to Acerus under
this Agreement or otherwise.

and for the duration of the Term, an exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense in accordance with Section 8.4)
to use the Acerus Trademarks solely in connection with the Product in the Territory. Aytu may use the Acerus Trademarks on Product
subject in all respects to all applicable laws and Regulatory Requirements. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Aytu to identify
Product, or to use Acerus Trademarks with respect to Product; provided, however, that if Aytu uses a mark other than (i) the Acerus
Trademarks or (ii) any mark related to the name of Aytu or any Affiliate of Aytu in respect of the Product, to the extent Aytu
has the right to do so without obligation of payment or additional liability to any Person, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith to grant in writing to Acerus a reasonable paid-up, royalty-free license for Acerus to use such alternative mark in respect
of sales by Acerus or any affiliate, licensee or sublicensee thereof for the Product solely as would be necessary with respect
to sales of the Product outside of the Territory (and, following any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 14.2,
sales of the Product inside the Territory).

(b)          Use
of Trademarks. Aytu shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to the proper use and designation of the Acerus
Trademarks. Additionally, Aytu shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to:


 


(i)          ensure
that the Acerus Trademarks are accompanied by words accurately describing the nature of the goods or services to which it relates
and that the Acerus Trademarks are displayed in accordance with such branding guidelines as Acerus may provide from time to time;


 


(ii)         to
the extent reasonably practicable after receipt of a written request from Acerus, comply with the reasonable requirements of Acerus
as to the form, manner, scale and context of use of the Acerus Trademarks;


 


(iii)        display
the proper form of trademark and service mark notice associated with the Acerus Trademark in accordance with instructions received
from Acerus;


 


(iv)        include,
on any item which bears the Acerus Trademarks, a statement identifying Acerus as the owner of the Acerus Trademark and stating
that Aytu is an authorized user of the Acerus Trademark;


 


(v)         not
conduct, without the written consent of Acerus, the whole or any part of its business under a business name or trading style which
incorporates any of the Acerus Trademarks; and


 


(vi)        neither
use nor display any of the Acerus Trademarks in such relation to any other mark or marks owned by any Third Party, Aytu or an Affiliate
of Aytu as to suggest that the multiple marks constitute a single or composite trademark, service mark, or are under the same proprietorship.


 


(c)          Additional
Trademark Terms. Aytu shall not take any action inconsistent with Acerus’ ownership of the Acerus Trademarks. Any benefits
(including good will) accruing from Aytu’s use of the Acerus Trademarks shall automatically vest in Acerus. Aytu shall not
form any combination trademarks or trade names with the Acerus Trademarks. Aytu shall grant Acerus reasonable access to Aytu’s
facilities, records, packaging and promotional materials for the purpose of inspecting Aytu’s use of the Acerus Trademarks.


 


8.3           Negative
Covenants.


 


(a)          Aytu
hereby covenants that it shall not use or practice, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees
to use or practice, directly or indirectly, any Acerus Intellectual Property or Acerus Trademarks for any other purposes other
than those expressly permitted by this Agreement.


 


(b)          Acerus
hereby covenants that it shall not use or practice, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees

Subcontracting.


 


(a)          Aytu
shall have the right to grant sublicenses under the rights and licenses granted to it under this Article 8, including sublicenses
in connection with the development, manufacture, and distribution of a Generic Product by a Third Party, only with the consent
of Acerus, not to be unreasonably withheld. Aytu shall at all times remain responsible for the activities of its licensees or sublicensees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Aytu shall have the right to sublicense the rights and licenses granted to it under this Agreement
without the consent of Acerus in connection with promotional support for the Product, and for Aytu to develop, manufacture, and
distribute a Generic Product itself.


 


(b)          Each
of Aytu and Acerus shall have the right to subcontract to Affiliates and Third Parties (“Subcontractors”) its
responsibilities under this Agreement, without obtaining the consent of the other Party, provided that the applicable party shall
at all times remain responsible for the activities of its Subcontractors.


 


(c)          Each
Party shall enter into agreements with its Subcontractors that contain confidentiality terms at least as strict as those set forth
in Article 10 hereof.

proprietary information, materials or technology, or to practice any of its patent, trademark, or trade dress rights, except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement.

INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY


 


9.1           Background
Intellectual Property. Except as expressly set forth herein, as between the Parties, each Party is and shall remain the owner
of or shall retain control over all intellectual property, including without limitation, patents, patent applications, know-how,
trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights and Confidential Information that it owns or controls as of the Effective Date or that it
develops or acquires thereafter pursuant to activities independent of this Agreement. No rights in any such Background Intellectual
Property are transferred to the other Party unless expressly provided for herein.


 


9.2           Ownership
of Developed Technology. Each Party shall own and retain the entire right, title and interest in and to all Developed Technology
made solely by the employee(s) or agent(s) of such Party or any of its Affiliates, subject only to the rights expressly granted
to the other Party under this Agreement. Following a determination of any rights of the Parties pursuant to the United States
laws of inventorship, the Parties agree that Acerus shall be the sole and exclusive owner of any Developed Technology made jointly
by employees or agents of both Parties and related to the NGDD Technology or the Product (a “Platform Improvement”)
and Aytu shall be the sole and exclusive owner of any other Developed Technology made jointly by employees or agents of both Parties
(a “Non-Platform Improvement”). Neither Party shall file for any patent that discloses or claims both a Platform
Improvement and a Non-Platform Improvement or the combination thereof without the prior written consent of the other Party. Aytu
shall and hereby does assign to Acerus any rights it has or may obtain during the Term in or to any such Platform Improvement,
subject to (i) Aytu’s ownership of the NDA and all Know-How contained therein, and (ii) the other rights expressly granted
by Acerus to Aytu under this Agreement. Acerus shall and hereby does assign to Aytu any rights it has or may obtain during the
Term in or to any such Non-Platform Improvement. Each Party agrees to execute such documents and assignments and take such other
actions as reasonably requested by the other Party (and at the requesting Party’s Cost) to effect the assignments and ownership
of Intellectual Property Rights as described herein.

9.3           Patent
Prosecution and Maintenance.


 


(a)          Except
as provided below and in Section 9.4, Acerus shall have the sole right and obligation to prosecute and maintain the Acerus Patents
in the Territory, to the extent it has the rights to do so. On the reasonable request of Acerus, Aytu shall cooperate, in all reasonable
ways, in connection with the prosecution of the Acerus Patents. Should Acerus decide that it is no longer interested in maintaining
or prosecuting a particular Acerus Patent in the Territory in respect of which it has the rights to so maintain and prosecute,
Aytu may assume such prosecution and maintenance in the Territory at its sole expense. If Aytu assumes prosecution or maintenance
of any Acerus Patent in respect of which Acerus has the right to prosecute or maintain pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence,
then : (a) Acerus shall not so abandon or fail to prosecute or maintain such Patent if Aytu advises Acerus within ten (10) Business
Days of notice of Acerus’ intention to abandon or not prosecute or maintain the applicable Acerus Patent, that Aytu desires
to assume prosecution or maintenance of the applicable Acerus Patent in Acerus’ name at Aytu’s expense, in which case
Aytu shall have the right, but not the obligation to do so (and, for greater certainty, Acerus shall be under no obligation to
assign the applicable Acerus Patent to Aytu), (b) to the extent that Aytu so assumes prosecution or maintenance of such Patent
and to the extent required or useful for Aytu to initiate or maintain a lawsuit or dispute with respect thereto, Acerus agrees
(at Aytu’s cost and expense for Acerus’ reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses agreed to in advance by Aytu) to
(i) be named as a party to any lawsuit or other dispute with any Person regarding such Patent, (ii) exercise on behalf of Aytu
Acerus’ rights under any applicable agreement regarding the applicable Patent, and (c) it shall not exercise any rights in
relation to (including any rights to assert or defend) such Patent without Aytu’s prior written consent, such consent to
be granted or withheld in Aytu’s sole discretion. Aytu shall list Acerus Patents applicable to Product on the packaging therefor,
subject in all respects to all applicable laws and Regulatory Requirements.


 


(b)          Except
as provided below and in Section 9.4, Aytu shall have the sole right but not the obligation to prosecute and maintain any patents
or patent applications comprising a part of the Aytu Intellectual Property in the Territory.


 


(c)          Within
six months of the Effective Date (or such other time as the Parties may agree), for each patent and patent application that is
part of the Acerus Patents, Acerus shall execute and record at the United States Patent and Trademark Office or use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause its affiliates or licensors to execute and record as required, all assignments and other documents
relating to ownership and use interests such as license agreements, to evidence the complete change of title from the inventors
to the current assignee and Acerus’ exclusive rights licensed from the current assignee. For avoidance of doubt, Acerus shall
ensure, at a minimum, that assignments of all patents listed in the Orange Book for NATESTO® and all patents and patent applications
listed in Schedule 1.8, including those that are continuations-in-part of the Patent Application No. 10/772,964, are executed and
recorded at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

9.4           Infringement
by Third Parties.


 


(a)          Notice.
Each of Aytu and Acerus shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any alleged or threatened infringement of any Acerus
Patent or the Acerus Trademarks by a Third Party product, of which the Party becomes aware.


 


(b)          Right
to Bring Suit. Except as provided in this Section 9.4(b), Aytu shall have the first right, on behalf and in the name of Acerus
and/or on behalf of itself and in its name, to bring and control any action or proceeding with respect to any alleged or threatened
infringement of a Acerus Patent pertaining to Product in the Territory. If Aytu does not bring and continue pursuing an action
or proceeding against, or otherwise take appropriate steps to cause the cessation of such an infringement of any Acerus Patent
by or after the earlier of (i) eighty (80) days following the notice of alleged infringement or (ii) ten Business Days prior to
the date as may be required, in the United States by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act (Public Law 98-417)
or equivalent statute in any other country in the Territory to respond to a challenge related to generic entry of the Product after
which date the right to so respond is prohibited by such act or statute, then Acerus shall have the right to bring and control
an infringement action under the applicable Acerus Patents with respect to such infringement at its own expense and by counsel
of its own choice.


 


(c)          Cooperation;
Settlement. For any action or proceeding brought by a Party under this Section 9.4 (the “Initiating Party”),
regardless of which Party brings such action or proceeding, the other Party (the “Non-Initiating Party”) shall
cooperate reasonably in any such effort, all at the Initiating Party’s expense, and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate
to address new facts or circumstances that come to light during the course of any such action or proceeding that may affect the
need for one Party or the other to participate in such action. The Non-Initiating Party agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff,
at the Initiating Party’s expense, in any such action if needed for the Initiating Party to bring or continue an infringement
action hereunder. The Non-Initiating Party shall, at its own expense and with its own counsel, have the right to advise and provide
comments with respect to any action brought by the Initiating Party under this Section 9.4. Neither Party may settle an action
or proceeding brought under this Section 9.4 in a manner that, or knowingly take any other action in the course thereof that, adversely
affects the value, scope or validity of the Acerus Patents without the written consent of the other Party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld


 


(d)          Recoveries.
Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result of any litigation
under this Section 9.4 (including, for greater certainty, the proceeds of any settlement relating to such litigation), after reimbursement
of any litigation expenses of Aytu and Acerus, as applicable, shall be retained by the Party that brought and controlled such litigation
for purposes of this Agreement, except that the other Party shall be entitled to receive twenty-five percent (25%) of any recovery
realized by the Party that brought and controlled such litigation under this Section 9.4, after reimbursement of each of the Parties’
related litigation expenses


 






    34 


     


    

 


9.5           Third
Party Claims for Infringement or Misappropriation. Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any potential
or actual allegation, claim or suit that the Manufacture, use or sale of Product or any component thereof, or any other
activities that are undertaken pursuant to this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates a Third Party’s patent or other
proprietary rights. Acerus shall be solely responsible for any royalties and other amounts payable for or under any and all
Third Party licenses with respect to any Third Party patent or other proprietary rights if such Third Party rights are
infringed by the Manufacture, importation, sale, use or marketing of Product in the Territory, except that Acerus shall not
be liable for any such Third Party licenses entered into by Aytu without Acerus’ consent, not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditionedAcerus.

CONFIDENTIALITY


 


10.1         Definition
of Confidential Information. During the Term, either Party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time
furnish the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) with scientific, technical, trade or business information or
materials which are treated by the Disclosing Party as confidential or proprietary, including, without limitation, information
and materials related to, Product, processes, formulae, procedures, tests, equipment, data, batch records, reports, know-how,
sources of supply, patent positioning, relationships with consultants and employees, business plans and business developments,
and information concerning the existence, scope or activities of any research, design, development, Manufacturing, marketing or
other projects. All such disclosed information shall be referred to herein as “Confidential Information” if it is
provided in writing and is designated or otherwise identified as “Confidential” at the time of disclosure, or if it
is first provided orally, visually, or by inspection and is identified as “Confidential” at the time of disclosure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall also include such information or materials that would or should
reasonably be identified or understood by the Receiving Party to be the confidential or proprietary information of the Disclosing
Party, even if they are not so identified as described in the previous sentence. “Acerus Confidential Information”
means any and all Confidential Information for which Acerus is the Disclosing Party and Aytu the Receiving Party hereunder. “Aytu
Confidential Information” means any and all Confidential Information for which Aytu is the Disclosing Party and Acerus
the Receiving Party hereunder.


 


10.2         Confidentiality.
Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Parties agree that
for the Term and for seven (7) years thereafter, the Receiving Party shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise
disclose and shall not use for any purpose any Confidential Information furnished to it by the Disclosing Party pursuant to this
Agreement.


 


10.3         Exclusions.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of confidentiality and nonuse under this Article 10 applicable
to Confidential Information hereunder shall not apply to information that:


 






    35 


     


    

 


(a)          at
the time of disclosure, is known publicly or thereafter becomes known publicly through no fault of the Receiving Party, its Affiliates
or agents;

disclosed to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis by a Third Party that is not subject to any confidentiality obligations
to the Disclosing Party with respect to such information;


 


(c)          was
developed by the Receiving Party independently of information obtained from the Disclosing Party, as shown by the Receiving Party’s
prior written records;


 


(d)          was
already known to the Receiving Party before receipt from the Disclosing Party, as shown by the Receiving Party’s prior written
records; or


 


(e)          is
released with the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party (subject to the terms and conditions, if any, set out in the applicable
consent).

(a)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (i) to the Receiving Party’s
employees, consultants (including, for greater certainty, financial advisors), Affiliates, agents, contractors, licensees or sublicensees
who are bound by obligations relating to confidentiality at least as restrictive of those contained herein and who have a need
to know such information in connection with the Receiving Party’s performance of its obligations or practice of its rights
under this Agreement, (ii) to Regulatory Authorities in connection with any Regulatory Submissions required for development of
Product or in compliance with Regulatory Requirements, including, without limitation, any requirements under or pursuant to the
Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, or (c) pursuant to Sections 10.5 and 10.6.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Aytu acknowledges and agrees that Acerus may, with the consent of Aytu, not to be unreasonably
withheld, participate in and produce scientific presentations or publish scientific publications in the Territory with respect
to pre-clinical and clinical development of the Product (including results and observations observed during any such pre-clinical
and clinical development, and including any such development work associated with the twice-daily dosing of the Product). Prior
to any such proposed presentation or publication, Acerus shall, as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the presentation or
publication date, as the case may be, provide Aytu with the text of the applicable presentation or publication, and Acerus shall
modify such presentation or publication in accordance with any reasonable comments received from Aytu.


 






    36 


     


    

 


10.5         Terms
of Agreement. The Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement will be considered Confidential Information of both Parties.
Subject to Section 10.6 below, no Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party, disclose in any manner to
any Third Party the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except for terms or subject matter which has been the subject of prior
public disclosure or has been mutually approved for such disclosure and except as set forth below. Each Party acknowledges that
the other Party may be legally required to file this Agreement as an exhibit to its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. In addition: (a) either Party may disclose such terms as are required to be disclosed in its publicly-filed financial
statements or other public statements, pursuant to applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules (e.g., the rules of the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Canadian securities administrators, NASDAQ, Toronto Stock Exchange, NYSE or any other
stock exchange on which securities issued by either Party may be listed); provided, such Party shall provide the other Party with
a copy of the proposed text of such statements or disclosure (including any exhibits containing this Agreement) sufficiently in
advance of the scheduled release or publication thereof to afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment
upon the proposed text (including redacted versions of this Agreement), (b) either Party shall have the further right to disclose
the material financial terms of this Agreement under a confidentiality obligation no less protective than those set forth in this
Agreement, to any potential licensee, sublicensee, acquirer, merger partner or potential providers of financing and their advisors
or, in the case of Acerus, to the owner of any Acerus Patents Controlled by Acerus, (c) Aytu shall have the right to disclose
information regarding the development or commercialization status of Product in the Territory to the extent such disclosure is
deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by Aytu, and (d) Acerus and Aytu shall have the right to disclose information regarding
the development or commercialization status of Product in the Territory to the extent such disclosure by Acerus or Aytu, as applicable,
is required by applicable laws or stock exchange rules.


 


10.6         Mandatory
Disclosure.


 


(a)          Notification
and Consultation. In the event that the Receiving Party is required by applicable statute or regulation or by court order or judicial
or administrative process to disclose any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (including material terms
or conditions of this Agreement), the Receiving Party shall (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of each such requirement and
identify the documents so required thereby, so that the Disclosing Party may seek or request the Receiving Party to seek an appropriate
protective order, confidential treatment or other remedy and/or waive compliance by the Receiving Party with the provisions of
this Agreement and (ii) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow
the scope of such requirement.


 


(b)          Limited
Disclosure. If, in the absence of such a protective order, confidential treatment request, other remedy or waiver by the Disclosing
Party, the Receiving Party is nonetheless required to disclose any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information
or any material terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information or material
terms or conditions without liability under this Agreement, except that the Receiving Party shall furnish only that portion of
the Confidential Information or material terms or conditions that is legally required.

REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS


 


12.1         Mutual
Representations and Warranties of Acerus and Aytu. Each of Acerus and Aytu hereby represents and warrants to the other Party
as of the Effective Date as follows:


 


(a)          It
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation,
as applicable. It has the requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business as presently being conducted and as proposed
to be conducted by it.


 


(b)          It
has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform the services contemplated hereunder.
All corporate actions on its part, necessary for (i) the authorization, execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement,
and (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly taken.


 


(c)          Assuming
the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Party, this Agreement is its legally valid and binding obligation, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except that the
availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court or
other tribunal before which any proceeding may be brought).


 


(d)          There
is no contractual restriction or obligation binding on either Party which would be materially contravened by execution and delivery
of this Agreement or by the performance or observance of its terms.


 


(e)          Each
Party has and will continue to have written contracts with all Third Parties (including employees and Subcontractors) performing
services on its behalf under this Agreement where such services are intended to create inventions that assign to such Party all
inventions and rights therein.


 






    38 


     


    

 


(f)          To
each Party’s knowledge, no representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement, nor any statement contained in any schedule
hereto furnished by it, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading.


 


12.2         Additional
Representations and Warranties of Acerus. Acerus hereby further represents, warrants, and covenants to Aytu:


 


(a)          Acerus
shall be the sole and exclusive owner of, or shall have exclusive rights to, all of the Acerus Intellectual Property in existence
on the Transition Date, and the Acerus Patents are in full force and effect and have been maintained to date. Acerus has the exclusive
right to grant the rights granted under this Agreement commencing on the Transition Date. Acerus has not received any claims or
notice of any challenges from any Third Party disputing the validity and enforceability of the issued Acerus Patents in existence
on the Effective Date, nor does Acerus have any reason to believe that any of the issued Acerus Patents in existence on the Effective
Date are, or are likely to be held, invalid or unenforceable.


 


(b)          There
is no pending or, to the knowledge of Acerus, threatened claim, interference, opposition or demand of any Third Party challenging
the ownership, validity or scope of any Acerus Intellectual Property or Acerus Trademarks in existence as of the Effective Date,
and Acerus is not aware of any facts from which it could reasonably conclude that any of the Acerus Patents is invalid or that
the exercise thereof would infringe patent rights of Third Parties. To the knowledge of Acerus, (i) the Manufacture, use or sale
of Product (as now formulated) as contemplated under this Agreement will not infringe any existing issued patent (or any pending
published patent application), (ii) the use of the Acerus Intellectual Property or Acerus Trademarks as contemplated under this
Agreement will not constitute the misappropriation of any trade secret or any other proprietary rights of any Third Party.


 


(c)          Acerus
has not been served with any action or proceeding nor, to the knowledge of Acerus, is there any threat of an action or proceeding
nor, so far as Acerus is aware, is there any event or state of facts, in each case that could materially and adversely affect the
rights granted to Aytu herein.


 


(d)          Except
as set forth on Schedule 12.2(d), Acerus has not granted to any Third Party any rights with respect to the Acerus Trademarks. The
Acerus Trademarks are in full force and effect, are subsisting and valid, and have been maintained to date, and are not subject
to any opposition proceedings. Its use or its Affiliates’ use of the Acerus Trademarks does not infringe, misappropriate,
or otherwise violate any rights of any person and, to the knowledge of Acerus, no person is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise
violating the Acerus Trademarks.


 


(e)          Acerus
and its Affiliates have and will comply with all Specifications, applicable laws, permits, governmental licenses, registrations,
approvals, concessions, authorizations, orders, injunctions and decrees with respect to the development, manufacture, transport,
disposal, and supply of the Product and all other Acerus obligations under this Agreement.


 






    39 


     


    

 


(f)          Acerus
has not received any Form 483 observations, warning letters or other communications from a Regulatory Authority which would reasonably
be expected to adversely impact the Manufacture or the marketing of Product.


 


(g)          Product
supplied to Aytu will conform to the Specifications and will be Manufactured in compliance with the Specifications, cGMP and all
other provisions of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement and all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations,
including, without limitation, all Regulatory Requirements and environmental laws, in force at the time of Manufacture.


 


(h)          Product
subject to the provisions of the FD&C Act, will not, when shipped by Acerus and received by Aytu, be adulterated or misbranded
within the meaning of the FD&C Act or of any applicable state law or law of any foreign country in which the definitions of
adulteration and misbranding are substantially the same as those contained in the FD&C Act, or an article which may not, under
the provisions of the FD&C Act, be introduced into interstate commerce.


 


(i)          All
Product components shall be free of any material that would cause such Product to be adulterated, tainted or contaminated or not
labeled or packaged as required under the Food and Drugs Act or the Food and Drug Regulations.

12.4         Non-competition.
Provided that this Section 12.4 shall not diminish in any way the exclusive rights of Aytu under this Agreement, until the expiry
of the Term:


 


(a)          as
long as Aytu is in compliance with this Section 12.4, Acerus shall not, itself or through any Affiliate, Subcontractor, licensee
or sublicensee, develop, offer for sale, sell, market or promote any Competing Product in the Territory (including any product
that is substitutable at the retail pharmacy level for the Product); and


 


(b)          as
long as Acerus is in compliance with this Section 12.4, Aytu shall not, itself or through any Affiliate, Subcontractor, licensee
or sublicensee, develop, offer for sale, sell, market or promote any Competing Product in the Territory (including any product
that is substitutable at the retail pharmacy level for the Product).

in any territory in the world (other than Brazil or the countries of the European Union)(such decision being a “Triggering
Event”), Acerus agrees to notify Aytu of the occurrence of a Triggering Event, and Acerus shall negotiate exclusively
with Aytu for a period of sixty (60) days after Aytu’s receipt of such notice with respect to the terms and conditions for
an agreement for such a purchase, assignment, transfer or license to Aytu of the property in question. If the foregoing negotiations
between the Parties do not result in an agreement, despite the good faith efforts of both Parties, Acerus shall thereafter be free
to enter into negotiations with any Third Party with respect to such property.

INDEMNIFICATION



 


13.1         Indemnification
by Aytu. Subject to Sections 13.4 and 13.4, Aytu shall indemnify, defend and hold Acerus, its Affiliates, and their respective
directors, officers, employees consultants, contractors, licensees, sublicensees and agents (collectively, the “Acerus
Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, proceedings or causes of action (including, without
limitation, in connection with any claim of property damage, bodily injury or death) (“Claims”) brought by
a Third Party against such Acerus Indemnitee, including any damages or other amounts payable to such Third Party, as well as any
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation incurred as to any such Claim until the indemnifying Party has acknowledged
that it will provide indemnification hereunder with respect to such Claim as provided below (collectively, “Damages”),
in each case resulting from or based on: (a) clinical development by Aytu, or any sale, use, importation, storage, handling, distribution
or offer for sale or sale of Product by Aytu or any of its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees, (b) Aytu’s breach of this
Agreement; (c) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or violation of applicable law by, Aytu, its Affiliates, licensees
or (sub)licensees, or their respective employees, contractors or agents in the performance of this Agreement; and/or (d) breach
of a contractual or fiduciary obligation owed by Aytu to a Third Party (including without limitation misappropriation of trade
secrets). The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to the extent such Claims or Damages result from any matter for which
Acerus is required to indemnify Aytu pursuant to this Agreement.


 


13.2         Indemnification
by Acerus. Subject to Sections 13.3 and 13.4, Acerus shall indemnify, defend and hold Aytu, its Affiliates, and their respective
directors, officers, employees consultants, contractors, licensees, sublicensees and agents (collectively, the “Aytu
Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Claims brought by a Third Party against such Aytu Indemnitee, including
any Damages resulting therefrom, in each case to the extent resulting from or based on: (a) any development work (including pre-clinical
and clinical) done by Acerus for Product; (b) Acerus’ breach of this Agreement; (c) the negligence or willful misconduct
of, or violation of applicable law by, Acerus, its Affiliates, licensees or (sub)licensees, or their respective employees, contractors

manufactured by or for Acerus) is not manufactured in accordance with the Specification, the terms of this Agreement, the Regulatory
Approval, Regulatory Requirements, and/or all other applicable laws and regulations. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall
not apply to any Damages to the extent such Damages result from any matter for which Aytu is required to indemnify Acerus pursuant

payable by Aytu arising out of or resulting from the sale or distribution of Products prior to the Transition Date (“Pre

13.3         Indemnification
Procedures. A Party seeking indemnification under Section 13.1, or 13.2 hereof (the “Indemnitee”) shall
promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any claim, lawsuit or other action in respect
of which the Indemnitee, its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents intend to claim
such indemnification. The Indemnitee shall permit, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees
and agents to permit the Indemnitor to have complete control of such defense (except as set forth below) so long as it promptly
assumes the defense and prosecutes the defense with appropriate diligence and care. The Party controlling the defense hereunder
(the “Defending Party”) shall have the authority, at its discretion, to settle any such claim, lawsuit or other
action only with the prior written consent of the Party who is not controlling the defense (the “Non-Defending Party”),
provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as such settlement does not adversely
affect the Non-Defending Party’s rights hereunder or impose any obligations on the Non-Defending Party in addition to those
set forth herein. The Defending Party and the Non-Defending Party, and their respective Affiliates, and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents shall cooperate fully with each other and their respective legal representatives in the investigation
and defense of any claim, lawsuit or other action covered by this indemnification. The Defending Party shall keep the Non-Defending
Party reasonably informed of the progress of the action and shall consider the comments and observations of the Non-Defending
Party timely given in the course of the proceedings. If the Indemnitor is the Defending Party, the Indemnitee shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to be represented by counsel of its own selection and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee
may be represented by separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnitor if a conflict of interest exists between the interests
of the Indemnitor and Indemnitee so that a single counsel representing Indemnitor cannot adequately defend the rights of the Indemnitee.


 


13.4         Survival
of Indemnification Obligations. The provisions of this ARTICLE 13 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.


 






    43 


     


    

 


13.5         Insurance.
Aytu shall maintain insurance with creditworthy insurance companies in accordance with applicable law against such risks and in
such amounts as are usually maintained or insured against by other companies of established repute engaged in the same or a similar
business. Throughout the Term and (i) for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, or (ii) until the expiry date of the
last lot of the Product delivered under this Agreement, whichever is later, Acerus shall maintain in full force and effect, at
its own cost and expense, comprehensive general liability insurance, including product liability and contractual liability insurance,
of not less than $5,000,000 (five million) in the aggregate, naming Aytu and its Affiliates as additional insureds thereon, and
providing that the insurer shall give Aytu at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of cancellation in coverage. Such insurance
coverage shall be provided by an insurer or insurers (having a minimum AM Best rating of A or otherwise acceptable to Aytu, in
its sole discretion) licensed to do business in the Territory and will be primary and non-contributing to any liability insurance
carried by Aytu (only insofar as the coverage relates to claims arising from Acerus’ operations). Acerus shall deliver to
Aytu, promptly upon request, a certificate of insurance evidencing the foregoing.

TERM
AND TERMINATION


 


14.1         Term.
The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire upon the later to occur of: (a) 8 years
from the Effective Date; (b) the date on which the last of the Acerus Patents has expired or been invalidated; or (c) a Third
Party has obtained Regulatory Approval for, and completed the first commercial sale of, a Generic Product within the Territory,
unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 14.2 (the “Initial Term”), and this Agreement shall thereafter
automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods, unless either Party gives at least six (6) months’ prior written
notice of non-renewal to the other Party (each such one (1) year renewal period, if any, a “Renewal Term,”
and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”).


 


14.2         Termination.


 


(a)          Termination
by Aytu. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by Aytu upon six (6) months’ prior written notice to Acerus, provided
that Aytu shall be required to: (i) make any milestone payment to Acerus that would otherwise become due under Article 7 during
such applicable six (6) month period; and (ii) make any payments that remain payable following termination pursuant to Section
7.1(b) or 7.2(b), as applicable.


 


(b)          Mutual
Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated in its entirety at any time upon mutual written agreement between the Parties.


 


(c)          Material
Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party is in material
default or breach of this Agreement and such material default or breach is not cured within (i) sixty (60) days after written notice
thereof is delivered to the defaulting or breaching Party, or (ii) in the case of a breach that cannot be cured within sixty (60)
days, within a reasonable period not exceeding one hundred twenty (120) days after written notice thereof is delivered to the defaulting
or breaching Party, so long as the breaching party is making a good faith effort to cure such default. Termination shall not be
the sole remedy for material breach of this Agreement, and a Party may choose to continue to perform hereunder and in response
to any material breach may bring a claim for damages (including a reduction in consideration due hereunder going forward) and other
available remedies under Section 15.11 and injunctive relieve under Section 15.12, and bringing such a claim in good faith shall
not constitute a breach of this agreement.


 






    44 


     


    

 


(d)          If
either Party shall (a) become bankrupt or insolvent, (b) file for a petition therefor, (c) make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or (d) have a receiver appointed for its assets, which appointment shall not be vacated within sixty (60) days after
the filing, then the other Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement forthwith by written notice to such Party.


 


(e)          PMR
Trial Costs. If Acerus, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that the amounts that are, or may become, payable to Aytu
pursuant to Section 3.3(b) of this Agreement in connection with the Cardiovascular PMR and/or any PMR Trial, are such that remaining
subject to this Agreement would no longer be economically viable for Acerus, this Agreement may be terminated by Acerus upon six
(6) months’ prior written notice to Aytu, provided that Acerus shall be required to: (i) pay Aytu any amounts owing to Aytu
pursuant to Section 3.3(b) outstanding prior to the effective date of termination by no later than such effective date of termination;
and (ii) fulfill any valid Purchase Orders submitted by Aytu prior to the effective date of termination.


 


(f)          Challenge.
If at any time during the Term, Aytu brings a proceeding or action challenging the validity, scope, enforceability or ownership
of any of the Acerus Patents or Acerus Trademarks licensed to Aytu under this Agreement, Acerus shall have, at its sole option,
the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Aytu, such termination to be effective only if Aytu does not withdraw such
challenge as soon as reasonably practicable after such notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Aytu specifically
agrees that filing a request for re-examination, knowingly copying patent claims so as to institute an interference, or filing
an opposition with respect to any of the Acerus Patents shall be deemed a challenge under this Section 14.2(f)).


 


14.3         Consequences
of Termination.


 


(a)          Surviving
Payments. Any payments contemplated to survive termination in accordance with Section 7.1(b), 7.2(b) and 14.2(a) shall remain payable
in accordance with the terms and conditions of such sections.


 


(b)          Sell
Off of Product. Upon expiration of the Term or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2, the rights granted to Aytu
under this Agreement shall survive such expiration or termination only such that Aytu shall have the right to sell off Product
then in Aytu’s inventory or on order from Acerus on the date on which the applicable notice of termination is provided or
the Agreement otherwise expires; provided that Aytu pays to Acerus any payments due in accordance with Section 7.2 (including,
for greater certainty, any milestone payments that become payable as a result of Net Sales of the Product in the period during
which Product is being sold off in accordance with this Section 14.3(a)) or Section 7.3. Any other license provided for by Acerus
to Aytu in this Agreement shall, upon any such termination or expiration, immediately and automatically terminate.


 






    45 


     


    

 


(c)          Return
of Regulatory Submissions. Promptly following any expiration of the Term or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2,
(1) Aytu shall assign to Acerus all Regulatory Submissions for the Product and shall submit to the FDA and any other Regulatory
Authorities in the Territory all necessary documentation to transfer legal and record ownership of all Regulatory Submissions for
the Product (including any Post-Approval Regulatory Submissions, and including any INDs and the Product NDA) to Acerus and (2)
Aytu shall assign to Acerus all trademarks used in the commercialization of the Product (to the extent not already owned by Acerus).


 


(d)          Return
of Confidential Information. Upon expiration of the Term or termination of this Agreement in its entirety, unless otherwise directed
by Aytu, Acerus shall promptly return all Aytu Confidential Information to Aytu, except for a single copy or sample for documentation
purposes only. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety, unless otherwise directed by Acerus, Aytu shall
promptly return all Acerus Confidential Information to Acerus, except for a single copy or sample to be retained for documentation
purposes only.


 


(e)          Accrued
Obligations. Except as set forth herein, any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any
obligation which has accrued prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration, which obligations shall remain in full
force and effect for the period provided therein.


 


(f)          Remedies.
Termination of this Agreement in accordance with and fulfillment of all obligations set forth in this ARTICLE 14 shall not affect
any other rights or remedies that may be available to a Party in law or equity, all remedies being cumulative and not exclusive.

15.2         Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, the Quality Agreement and the Safety Agreement (including any Schedules other attachments hereto
or thereto, as applicable) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
no oral or written statement may be used to interpret or vary the meaning of the terms and conditions hereof. This Agreement supersedes
any prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, including the Confidentiality Agreement between Acerus and Aytu dated January 27, 2016 (the “Existing
CDA”). All information disclosed by Acerus pursuant to the Existing CDA shall be deemed Acerus Confidential Information
for the purposes of this Agreement.


 


15.3         Assignment.
Neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that
either Party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other Party to any Affiliate or in connection with the acquisition

15.4         Force
Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such
performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other
Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party
takes reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of and overcome or remove the cause or condition causing such force majeure. For
purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall include conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including, without limitation,
an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities
or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, and failure
of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence, and prudence
that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of undertaking
under the same or similar circumstances). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed
hereunder because of a force majeure affecting such Party.


 


15.5         Headings.
The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of the Agreement.

all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or
legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.


 


15.8         No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in ARTICLE 13 in respect to Acerus Indemnitees and Aytu Indemnitees, nothing
in this Agreement, either express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Third Party any legal or equitable right,
benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

and Acerus.


 


15.10         Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States
of America (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws that would require the application of any other law) and
the federal laws of the U.S., in each case without reference to choice of law rules.


 


15.11         Dispute
Resolution. In the event of any dispute under this Agreement (other than disputes excluded in subsection (a) below), the Parties

days after such referral is made. If the Applicable Senior Officers are unable to resolve the dispute within the time allotted,
either Party may proceed as set forth below.


 






    48 


     


    

 


(a)          Alternative
Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, enforceability
or performance of this Agreement, including disputes relating to an alleged breach or to termination of this Agreement and including
any claim of inducement by fraud or otherwise, but excluding any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the
validity, enforceability, or infringement of any Acerus Patent or any suit for injunctive relief under Section 15.12 (which shall
be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be settled by mediation and arbitration in the manner described below:


 


(b)          Mediation.
The Applicable Senior Officers shall select a mediator with appropriate expertise in the subject matter to which the dispute relates,
who will be engaged to resolve the dispute. If the Applicable Senior Officers cannot agree on a mediator within fifteen (15) days,
each Party may seek appropriate resolution through arbitration as described below. If the Parties are unable to resolve their dispute
through mediation within ninety (90) days after selection of the mediator(s), either Party may seek appropriate resolution through
arbitration as described below.


 


(c)          Arbitration.
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, enforceability or performance of this
Agreement which is not resolved by mediation, including disputes relating to alleged breach or to termination of this Agreement
(other than disputes referred to in Section 15.11(a) that are to be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be settled
by binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) in the manner described below:


 


(d)          If
a Party intends to begin an Arbitration to resolve a dispute, such Party shall provide written notice (the “Arbitration
Request”) to the other Party informing such other Party of such intention and the issues to be resolved. Within ten (10)
Business Days after the receipt of the Arbitration Request, the other Party may, by written notice to the Party initiating Arbitration,
add additional issues to be resolved.


 


(e)          Procedure.
The Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the then-current JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures for disputes
involving $3,000,000 or less and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures for disputes involving more than $3,000,000
or involving a right to terminate this Agreement under Section 14.2(c) or (d) or (e)). Notwithstanding those rules, the following
provisions shall apply to the Arbitration hereunder:


 


(i)          Arbitrator.
In the event that the dispute at issue involves an amount less than $3,000,000, the Arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) arbitrator
(the “Threshold 1 Arbitrator”). In the event, however, that the dispute at issue involves an amount greater
than $3,000,000 or the termination of this Agreement under Section 14.2(c) or (d) or (e), the Arbitration shall be conducted by
a panel of three (3) arbitrators (collectively, with the Threshold 1 Arbitrator, the “Arbitrators”). The Arbitrators
shall be selected from a pool of retired independent federal judges to be presented to the Parties by JAMS. Neither Party shall
engage in ex parte contact with the Arbitrators.


 






    49 


     


    

 


(ii)         Proceedings.
The time periods set forth in the applicable JAMS rules shall be followed, unless a Party can demonstrate to the Arbitrators that
the complexity of the issues or other reasons warrant the extension of one or more of the time tables. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Arbitrators shall render a written opinion setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law with the reason therefor stated
within no later than six (6) months from the date on which the Arbitrators were appointed to the dispute. A transcript of the evidence
adduced at the hearing shall be made and, upon request, shall be made available to each Party. The Arbitrators shall, in rendering
their decision, apply the substantive law of the State of New York and the federal law of the U.S., in each case without regard
to conflict of laws provisions, except that the interpretation of and enforcement of this Section 15.11 shall be governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act. The Arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence to the hearing. The proceeding shall take place
in New York, New York, or such other location as the Parties may agree. The fees of the Arbitrators and JAMS shall be paid by the
losing Party, which shall be designated by the Arbitrator. If the Arbitrator is unable to designate a losing Party, it shall so
