[...***...]. 
 2.3 Acknowledgment of Joint Ownership. Tracr acknowledges that as at the Effective Date, it has not obtained
any right or license under the joint ownership interest of any Joint Owner in and to the Technology and, as such Tracr’s exclusivity under Section 2.1(a) is limited to EC’s joint ownership interest and consequently Tracr does not have
the exclusive right to exploit the Technology in the Tracr Field. Tracr also acknowledges that EC has not obtained the consent of any Joint Owner in respect of the grant of the licenses under Section 2.1 and that, as such, EC gives no
representation or warranty as to the validity, enforceability or effect of the licenses in any country in the Territory. 
 2.4
Sublicensing. Any and all sublicenses of the license granted to Tracr under Section 2.1 shall be in writing and shall be subject to, and consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Tracr shall be responsible for the
compliance of its Sublicensees with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Within 30 days after execution, Tracr shall provide EC with a full and complete copy of each sublicense agreement (provided that Tracr may redact any confidential

informed as to progress with respect to the development of Therapeutic Products and Diagnostic Products in the Tracr Field (whether by Tracr or its Sublicensees), including, without limitation, the conduct of clinical trials, regulatory submissions
and approvals, manufacturing arrangements, marketing activities and sublicensing, and shall deliver to EC a written annual report summarizing such progress by [...***...] of each year, beginning [...***...]. For clarification,
Tracr’s reporting obligations under this Section 2.6(b) are in addition to Tracr’s reporting obligations under Section 4.1. The contents of Tracr’s progress reports to EC shall be deemed to be Tracr’s Confidential
Information. 
 2.7 No Implied License. This Agreement confers no license or rights by implication, estoppel, or otherwise under any
patent rights of EC other than the Patent Rights regardless of whether such patent rights are dominant or subordinate to the Patent Rights. 

2.8 Reservation of Rights. EC reserves the non-transferable right, without the right to license
or sublicense, to use the Technology for her own research purposes and in research collaborations with academic or non-profit partners provided such research is not funded in whole or in part by any commercial sponsor except where EC has discussed
any commercial funding with Tracr and Tracr has confirmed in writing that it does not object to EC pursing the relevant research or research collaboration with the disclosed commercial funding. For clarity, as between EC and Tracr, and except as
expressly set forth in Section 2.1(b), EC retains all rights to the Technology outside of the Tracr Field.

 3.4 Payment by Affiliated Sublicensees. At Tracr’s option, any sublicense agreement
between Tracr and an Affiliated Sublicensee may provide for such Affiliated Sublicensee to pay directly to EC: (a) milestone payments in the amounts specified in Section 3.1 with respect to the achievement of the corresponding milestone
events set forth in Section 3.1 by Therapeutic Products developed by or on behalf of such Affiliated Sublicensee; (b) royalties on Net Sales by such Affiliated Sublicensee (and its Sublicensees) of Therapeutic Products and Diagnostic
Products at the rate set forth in Section 3.2; and (c) [...***...] of the total Sublicensing Revenues received by such Affiliated Sublicensee; in each case, provided that Tracr shall remain responsible and liable to EC for compliance
with Tracr’s obligations under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, with respect to such Affiliated Sublicensee. 
 3.5
Licenses Under Other EC Technology. The parties acknowledge that Tracr may, in the future, wish to obtain from EC licenses to one or more other inventions and discoveries (whether or not patentable) made by EC, either solely or with one or more
co-inventors, including patent and other intellectual property rights covering such inventions and discoveries (collectively, “New EC Technology”). The parties also acknowledge that EC is not under any obligation to grant
licenses or any other right, title or interest in or to any New EC Technology to Tracr but shall consider any request from Tracr to obtain a license on a case by case basis, [...***...]. Tracr and EC hereby agree that in the event that Tracr
or its Sublicensees develops or commercializes any Therapeutic Product in the Tracr Field that is also covered by New EC Technology licensed by EC directly to Tracr under one or more separate license agreements (each, a “New License
Agreement”): 
 (a) in the case of a Therapeutic Product covered by New EC Technology, [...***...] milestone
payments shall be due and payable to EC with respect to such Therapeutic Product, which shall be the [...***...]; and 
 (b)
only [...***...] shall be due and payable to EC with respect to any sale of a Therapeutic Product covered by any New EC Technology, which shall be calculated [...***...]. 

Similarly, if Tracr or an Affiliated Sublicensee grants any sublicense under both the Technology and the New EC Technology, [...***...]
shall be due and payable to EC with respect to any item of sublicensing revenues received by Tracr or an Affiliated Sublicensee for such sublicense, which shall be calculated at the higher of (i) the rate set forth in Section 3.3 and
(ii) the rate set forth in the New License Agreement(s). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tracr acknowledges that, to the extent EC is
obligated to assign any or all of her rights in or to New EC Technology to a Third Party (e.g., the institution of which she is an employee at the time such New EC Technology is created), EC may not have the right to grant Tracr a license (or
an exclusive license) under such New EC Technology. Tracr further acknowledges that in such event, if Tracr wishes to obtain a license under such Third Party assignee’s interest in such New EC Technology, the amounts payable by Tracr to such
Third Party assignee would be negotiated between Tracr and such Third Party assignee and, if such Third Party assignee were willing to grant Tracr a license, such license would not be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5.

payment of such interest shall not limit EC from exercising any other rights she may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment. 
  

	5.	PATENT MATTERS 

 5.1 Joint
Owners’ Rights.  
 (a) The parties acknowledge that the Joint Owners and EC share rights to prosecute and maintain
the Patent Rights, as confirmed by that certain letter from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) to Regents and Regents’ outside patent counsel dated June 17, 2013, granting EC’s petition, filed on
June 7, 2013, requesting that the USPTO accept a power of attorney appointing the attorneys of Goodwin Procter LLP as EC’s own representatives and attorneys of record with respect to the Patent Application. 

(b) Accordingly, the parties further acknowledge and agree that the following provisions of this Article 5 pertain only to the
allocation between EC and Tracr of EC’s rights to prosecute and maintain the Patent Rights, and not to the Joint Owners’ rights to prosecute and maintain the Patent Rights and are granted by EC only to the extent that EC is able to grant
such rights. The parties also acknowledge that EC and the Joint Owners have not, as at the Effective Date, reached any agreement between them concerning the prosecution, maintenance and/or enforcement of the Patent Rights and that the Joint Owners
have not given EC any authority to undertake any of these activities independently. 
 5.2 ERS and CRISPR.  

(a) Tracr acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of this Agreement: 

(i) EC and ERS are entering into a license agreement pursuant to which EC has granted to ERS [...***...]; 

(ii) EC and CRISPR are entering into a license agreement pursuant to which EC has granted to CRISPR an exclusive license under
EC’s joint ownership interest in and

to the Technology to research, develop, make, have made, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale and import Therapeutic Products in the CRISPR Field and Diagnostic Products for use with such
Therapeutic Products, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “CRISPR License”), and has delegated to CRISPR certain of her rights as joint owner of the Patent Rights with respect to prosecution,
maintenance, defense and enforcement of the Patent Rights thereunder; and 
 (iii) the terms of this Agreement, the ERS License and
the CRISPR License do not conflict, including, without limitation, the respective license grants. 
 (b) Subject to EC’s
compliance with Section 5.2(c) below, CRISPR shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the rights conferred on CRISPR under Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 (excluding Section 5.5(d)) of this Agreement with the right under the
Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to exercise such rights under the provisions of such Sections to the extent permitted by the CRISPR License and standing to enforce the provisions of such Sections against Tracr. 

(c) EC shall neither amend nor modify the CRISPR License in any manner that would diminish the rights or interests of Tracr under the
CRISPR License as set forth therein as of the Effective Date; except with the prior written consent of Tracr. 
 5.3 Patent Prosecution
and Maintenance. For purposes of this Section 5.3, a party’s right to prosecute and maintain a patent application or patent shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the right to control any interference, reexamination, reissue,
opposition, derivation, inter partes review, post-grant review, revocation, nullification, cancellation or other post-grant proceeding (each, a “Patent Proceeding”) with respect to such patent application or patent,
and the right to seek patent term restorations, supplementary protection certificates and other forms of patent term extensions with respect thereto. 

(a) Tracr acknowledges that EC has granted CRISPR the first right, but not the obligation, to control and manage the preparation,
filing, prosecution and maintenance of the CRISPR Patent Rights and Overlapping Patent Rights, at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice. 

(b) If CRISPR notifies EC and Tracr that CRISPR desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any patent application or
patent within the CRISPR Patent Rights in any country, Tracr may, by written notice to EC and CRISPR, elect to continue prosecution and/or maintenance of any such patent application or patent, at its cost and expense and choice of counsel. 

5.4 Cooperation. Each party agrees to cooperate fully in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of CRISPR Patent Rights
and Overlapping Patent Rights under Section 5.3. Such cooperation includes, but is not limited to: (i) executing all papers and instruments, or requiring its employees or contractors, to execute such papers and instruments, so as to enable
the other party or CRISPR to apply for and to prosecute patent applications in any country as permitted by Section 5.3, including, without limitation, any power of attorney or similar instrument appointing the attorneys of any law firm selected
by CRISPR as EC’s representatives and attorneys of record with respect to the CRISPR Patent Rights or Overlapping

Patent Rights and any petition or submission to the USPTO or any foreign patent office requesting that the USPTO or such foreign patent office accept the attorneys of such CRISPR-selected law
firm as EC’s representatives and attorneys of record with respect to the Patent Rights; (ii) promptly informing the other party and CRISPR of any matters coming to such party’s attention that may affect the preparation, filing,
prosecution or maintenance of Patent Rights; and (iii) providing, at the expense of the party (or CRISPR, if applicable) controlling and managing the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights any requested evidence
or testimony, whether oral or written, in connection with the prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights, including any Patent Proceedings. Tracr shall be responsible for paying all EC’s costs in assisting and cooperating with Tracr under
this Section 5.4. Tracr acknowledges that any preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patent Rights will require co-operation between Tracr and the Joint Owners. 

5.5 Infringement by Third Parties.  

(a) In the event that either EC or Tracr becomes aware of any infringement or threatened infringement of the CRISPR Patent Rights in the
CRISPR Field or Tracr Field by a Third Party of any Patent Right, such party shall promptly notify the other party in writing to that effect. Tracr acknowledges that, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, CRISPR has the first right to
bring and control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any CRISPR Patent Right within the CRISPR Field or the Tracr Field, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, subject to Section 5.5(f) of this Agreement and
Section 5.5(e) of the CRISPR License. If the infringement of the CRISPR Patent Rights relates to the Tracr Field, Tracr shall have the right if it chooses, to join the proceedings on its own accord, at its own expense, to be represented in any
such action by counsel of its own choice, and to review and comment on any papers filed during such action. EC may, if she wishes, delegate the performance of any participation rights and activities under this Section 5.5(a) to ERS. 

(b) If the infringement of the CRISPR Patent Rights is solely in the Tracr Field and not in the CRISPR Field, and CRISPR fails to bring
any such action or proceeding with respect to infringement in the Tracr Field within (i) [...***...] following the notice of alleged infringement or (ii) [...***...] before the time limit, if any, set forth in the appropriate
laws and regulations for the filing of such actions, whichever comes first, then Tracr shall have the right to bring and control any such action solely with respect to such infringement in the Tracr Field at its own expense and by counsel of its own
choice. EC will at Tracr’s expense join and cooperate fully in such action if EC is required to do so by Tracr and shall request that CRISPR shall join and cooperate fully in such action if and to the extent appropriate, all at Tracr’s
expense. Tracr shall keep EC and CRISPR fully informed and up to date with respect to such infringement actions and shall take into account any reasonable suggestions made by EC or CRISPR. EC shall have the right if she chooses, to join the
proceedings on her own accord, at her own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of her own choice, and to review and comment on any papers filed during such action. EC may, if she wishes, delegate the performance of any
participation rights and activities under this Section 5.5(b) to ERS. 
 (c) Tracr shall notify EC within [...***...] of
becoming entitled to bring an action or proceeding pursuant to Section 5.5(b) as to whether or not Tracr will bring such action or proceeding. If Tracr notifies EC that Tracr will not bring such an action, or if Tracr fails to 

 
 [***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets,

provide any notice to EC within such period, then EC shall have the right to bring and control any such action at her own expense and by counsel of her own choice. Tracr will at EC’s expense
join and cooperate fully in such action if Tracr is required to do so by EC. EC shall keep Tracr and CRISPR fully informed and up to date with respect to such infringement actions and shall take into account any reasonable suggestions made by Tracr
or CRISPR. Each of Tracr and CRISPR shall have the right if it chooses, to join the proceedings on its own accord, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice, and to review and comment on any papers filed
during such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5 to the contrary, EC’s rights under this Section 5.5(c) shall be exercisable only by EC and may not be extended to ERS. 

(d) In the event EC brings any infringement action in accordance with Section 5.5(c), Tracr shall cooperate fully, including, if
required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party. 
 (e) Neither party shall have the
right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 5.5 without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except as otherwise agreed by the parties in connection with a
cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery realized by a party as a result of any action or proceeding pursuant to this Section 5.5, whether by way of settlement or otherwise, after reimbursement of any litigation expenses of the parties, shall be
retained by the party that brought and controlled such action for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that any recovery realized by Tracr as a result of any action brought and controlled by Tracr pursuant to Section 5.5(b)
with respect to infringement in the Tracr Field, after reimbursement of the parties’ litigation expenses, shall be treated as Sublicensing Revenues for purposes of Section 3.3. 

(f) To the extent that any infringement of the CRISPR Patent Rights or the Overlapping Patent Rights relates to both the CRISPR Field
and the Tracr Field, Tracr shall agree a coordinated approach with CRISPR, and Tracr and CRISPR shall cooperate with respect to any enforcement proceedings. In respect of any proceedings brought by Tracr and CRISPR in cooperation as referred to in
this Section 5.5(f), Tracr shall keep EC fully informed and up to date and shall take into account any reasonable suggestions made by EC. 

(g) Defense of the validity or enforceability of any claim of the CRISPR Patent Rights asserted in an infringement action under this
Section 5.5 shall be at the sole expense and control of the party bringing the infringement action, subject to the provisions of Article 9; and provided, however, that each party shall reasonably inform the other and CRISPR and
consider the other’s and CRISPR’s input. 
 (h) For clarity, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.5(f),
Tracr’s enforcement rights under this Section 5.5 apply solely to CRISPR Patent Rights, and Tracr shall have no right to enforce Overlapping Patent Rights (other than in cooperation with CRISPR pursuant to Section 5.5(f)) or ERS
Patent Rights. 
 5.6 Third Party Infringement Claims. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any allegation
by a Third Party that the activity of either of the parties pursuant to this Agreement infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such

Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Third Party. EC shall have the sole right to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by EC’s activities at her own expense and by counsel
of her own choice. Tracr shall have the sole right to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by Tracr’s activities at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. Neither party shall have
the right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 5.6 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other party or of CRISPR without the written consent of such other party and CRISPR (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld). 
 5.7 Tracr Affiliates and Assignees. The parties agree that, at Tracr’s discretion, Tracr’s
rights under this Article 5 may be exercised on behalf of Tracr by any Affiliated Sublicensee designated by Tracr from time to time. 

5.8 Legal Inability to Exercise Rights. Tracr acknowledges that EC shall not be liable to Tracr if Tracr is unable as a matter of law
to control filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defense of one or more of the Patent Rights in any country.

her interest in or to, nor entered or agreed to enter into any contracts in relation to her interest in or to, any Patent Rights in the Tracr Field, and EC has not created or allowed to be created any lien or encumbrance on her interest in any
Patent Rights in the Tracr Field (other than any of the foregoing that has expired or been terminated prior to the Effective Date and is of no further force or effect); and (c) EC has not received any notice alleging that the practice of the
Technology infringes or misappropriates, or may infringe or misappropriate, any intellectual property rights of any Third Party. EC further represents and warrants to Tracr that she has obtained legal advice of independent legal counsel as to the

connection with due diligence or similar investigations by such Third Parties and disclosure to potential Third Party investors in confidential financing documents, provided, in each case, that any such Third Party agrees to be bound by reasonable
obligations of confidentiality and non-use. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Receiving Party is required to make a
disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 7.3(c) or Section 7.3(d), the Receiving Party shall, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure

to consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of any such press release prior to the issuance thereof, provided that EC may not unreasonably withhold consent to such releases, and that Tracr may issue
such press releases as it determines, based on advice of counsel, are reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or with the requirements of any stock exchange on which securities issued by Tracr or its Affiliated Sublicensees are traded. In
the event of a required public announcement, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, the party making such announcement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party with a copy of the proposed text of such
announcement sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release to afford such other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text.

Tracr hereby agrees to save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless EC from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs, including reasonable legal expense and attorneys’ fees (“Losses”), to
which she may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any person to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tracr, its Affiliates and/or their respective
officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents; (b) the breach by Tracr of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Tracr in this Agreement; (c) the practice by Tracr or Sublicensees of the license granted
hereunder; or (d) the development, manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale or other disposition of any Therapeutic Product or Diagnostic Product by or on behalf of Tracr or Sublicensees; in each case, except to the extent such Losses result
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of EC or the breach by EC of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by EC in this Agreement. 

To the extent not already covered by Tracr’s indemnification obligations under the first paragraph of this Section 9.1, Tracr
further agrees hereby to save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless EC from and against any and all Losses to which she may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any person (including without limitation
Regents, Vienna or any person to whom either of them may have granted, or purported to grant, rights under the Patent Rights) relating to or arising out of: (i) EC entering into this License Agreement with Tracr and her grant of rights to
Tracr; (ii) the exercise by Tracr of any of its rights under this Agreement; (iii) the filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and/or defense by Tracr of the Patent Rights in relation to the Tracr Field; or (iv) EC bringing an
infringement action under the Patent Rights or other Patent Proceedings at the request, under the direction, and in accordance with the instructions, of Tracr; in each case, except to the extent such Losses result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of EC or the breach by EC of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by EC in this Agreement. 
 9.2
Control of Defense. In the event EC seeks indemnification under Section 9.1, EC shall inform Tracr of a claim as soon as reasonably practicable after EC receives notice of the claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure
by EC to give notice of a claim as provided in this Section 9.2 shall not relieve Tracr of Tracr’s indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that Tracr is actually damaged as a result of such failure to
give notice), shall permit Tracr to assume direction and control of the defense of the claim (including the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration) using counsel reasonably satisfactory to EC, and shall cooperate as requested
(at the expense of Tracr) in the

defense of the claim. If Tracr does not assume control of such defense within [...***...] after receiving notice of the claim from EC, EC shall control such defense and, without limiting
Tracr’s indemnification obligations, Tracr shall reimburse EC for all costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by EC in defending herself within [...***...] after receipt of any invoice therefor from EC. The party not
controlling such defense may participate therein at such party’s own expense. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall
consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. EC shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of Tracr, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned. Tracr shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of EC from all liability with respect thereto,
that imposes any liability or obligation on EC, that acknowledges fault by EC or that affects the rights of EC in the Patents Rights without the prior written consent of EC. 

9.3 Insurance. During the term of this Agreement, Tracr shall maintain, and shall require Sublicensees to maintain, insurance of such
types and in such amounts as are commercially reasonable in light of their respective activities hereunder. 
 9.4 English Law. No
provision of this Agreement shall operate to:- 
 (a) exclude any provision implied into this Agreement by English law and which may
not be excluded by English law; or 
 (b) limit or exclude any liability, right or remedy to a greater extent than is permissible
under English law including in relation to (1) death or personal injury caused by the negligence of a party to this Agreement or (2) fraudulent misrepresentation or deceit. 

 

	10.	DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

 10.1 Dispute
Resolution. It is the desire of the parties that any dispute arising under or relating to the parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement be resolved amicably by good faith discussions between the parties. If a party delivers
written notice to the other party of any such dispute, the parties shall promptly convene a meeting (either in person or by telephone conference or videoconference) to attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. 

10.2 Arbitration.  

(a) LCIA Rules. Except as expressly set forth in Section 10.3, any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement,
including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, that is not resolved by the parties within [...***...] after a party’s delivery to the other party of notice of such dispute shall, upon the written request of
either party, be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the arbitration rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (the “Rules”), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this
clause, except to the extent any such Rule conflicts with the express provisions of this Article 10. The arbitration shall be determined by a single, independent, impartial arbitrator. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be London,
England. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The governing law of the contract shall be the substantive law of England, excluding its conflicts of laws principles.

 22 








 (b) Expedited Binary Arbitration. Within [...***...] following appointment of the
arbitrator in accordance with the Rules, each party shall submit to the arbitrator so appointed a written proposal setting forth a complete resolution of the applicable dispute that such party believes is reasonable under the circumstances,
including, without limitation, any economic remedy such party believes is justified. Within [...***...] following submission of the parties’ written proposals to the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall select the proposal that such
arbitrator determines to be the more reasonable of the two. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding and non-appealable, except in the case of manifest error and judgment may be entered upon it in any court of competent jurisdiction,
and subject to the aforesaid, the parties hereby exclude any rights of application or appeal to any court to the extent that they may validly so agree and in particular in connection with any question of law. 

(c) Arbitration Costs. The arbitrator shall determine the proportions in which the parties shall pay the costs of the arbitration
procedure. The arbitrator shall have the authority to order that all or a part of the legal or other costs of a party incurred in relation to the arbitration shall be paid by the other party. 

10.3 Court Actions. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny either party the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief
from a court of competent jurisdiction in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the parties or any ongoing
arbitration proceeding. In addition, either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the validity, construction, scope, enforceability, infringement or other violations of patent rights or
other intellectual property rights, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 10.2. 
 10.4 ERS and
CRISPR. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: 
 (a) in the event that any dispute arises concerning
(i) the scope of the licenses granted to Tracr as opposed to the scope of any licenses granted to ERS under the ERS License or (ii) the rights and obligations of Tracr under Article 5 as opposed to the rights and obligations of ERS
under the ERS License, then Tracr shall not bring any action with EC as a party but instead Tracr and ERS shall each have the right to refer the dispute together to arbitration in order for the arbitrator to determine the extent of Tracr’s and
ERS’s respective rights and obligations; and 
 (b) in the event that any dispute arises concerning (i) the scope of the
licenses granted to Tracr as opposed to the scope of any licenses granted to CRISPR under the CRISPR License or (ii) the rights and obligations of Tracr under Article 5 as opposed to the rights and obligations of CRISPR under the CRISPR
License, then Tracr shall not bring any action with EC as a party but instead Tracr and CRISPR shall each have the right to refer the dispute together to arbitration in order for the arbitrator to determine the extent of Tracr’s and
CRISPR’s respective rights and obligations.

 23 








 Any such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the principles set out in
Section 10.2 above, subject to Section 10.3 above, save that Section 10.3 may not be used by Tracr to bring any action against EC. EC shall be entitled, but shall not be obliged, to participate as a party to any such arbitration, at
her expense. ERS and CRISPR shall be intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 10.4 with the right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce the provisions of this Section 10.4 against Tracr.

between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and merge all prior discussions, representations, and negotiations with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No amendment or modification hereof shall be valid or binding
upon the parties hereto unless made in writing and signed by all parties hereto. The headings of clauses contained in this Agreement preceding the text of the sections, subsections and paragraphs hereof are inserted for convenience and ease of
reference only and shall not constitute any part of this Agreement, or have any effect on its interpretation or construction. Ambiguities and uncertainties in this Agreement, if any, shall not be interpreted against any party, irrespective of which

 11.4 Non-Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon
strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that

necessary to carry out the intent of this section. Any assignment not in accordance with this Agreement shall be void.
