with the execution of this Agreement, Licensee will issue to COH stock certificates evidencing 1,000,000 validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable
shares of Class A Common Stock. At the closing of each Qualified Financing that occurs prior to the achievement of the Qualified
Financing Protection Ceiling, Licensee will issue to COH and such reasonable number of designees as COH may specify (provided that
each such designee has: (i) demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of Licensee that it is an “accredited investor”

Promptly after the applicable Measurement Date, Licensee will deliver to the COH Stockholders (i) certificates representing the
shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in accordance with the foregoing, and (ii) a certificate, executed on behalf of Licensee
by an executive officer of Licensee, showing Licensee’s calculation of the number of shares of Qualifying Stock as of the

Net Proceeds of the Qualified Financings and Licensee’s calculation of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to
the COH Stockholders. Such shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued in consideration for the benefits provided to Licensee
under the Agreement and no additional consideration shall be payable for such shares of Class A Common Stock.

to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.

5.3.3           Procedures
for Audit. COH may exercise its right to have Licensee’s and its Sublicensees’ relevant records examined only

12. If the total amount of any such underpayment (as agreed to by Licensee or as determined under Article 12) exceeds *

ARTICLE 7:          INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY; PATENT PROSECUTION, MAINTENANCE AND ENFORCEMENT.


 


7.1           Patent
Prosecution, Maintenance and Enforcement.


 


(a)          COH
shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all Patent Rights, using counsel of its choice.
COH will timely provide Licensee with copies of all relevant documentation relating to such prosecution and Licensee shall keep
such information confidential. In addition, COH shall instruct the patent counsel prosecuting Patent Rights to (i) copy Licensee
on patent prosecution documents that are received from or filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and foreign
equivalent, as applicable; (ii) if requested by Licensee, provide Licensee with copies of draft submissions to the USPTO prior
to filing: and (iii) give reasonable consideration to the comments and requests of Licensee or its patent counsel, provided that
(a) COH reserves the sole right to make all final decisions with respect to the preparation, tiling, prosecution and maintenance
of such patent applications and patents; and (b) the patent counsel remains counsel to COH (and shall not jointly represent Licensee
unless requested by Licensee and approved by COH, and an appropriate engagement letter and conflict waiver are in effect). All
patents and patent applications in Patent Rights, to the extent assignable in whole or in part to COH, shall be assigned to COH.


 


(b)          COH
will not unreasonably refuse to amend any patent application in Patent Rights to include claims reasonably requested by Licensee
to protect the products contemplated to be sold by Licensee under this Agreement. If Licensee informs COH of other countries or
jurisdictions in which it wishes to obtain patent protection with respect to the Patent Rights, COH shall prepare, file, prosecute
and maintain patent applications in such counties and any patents resulting therefrom (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such patent
applications and patents shall be deemed included in the Patent Rights). On a country-by-country and patent-by-patent basis, Licensee
may elect to surrender any patent or patent application in Patent Rights in any country upon *
 (*) * advance written notice to COH. Such notice shall relieve Licensee from the obligation to pay for future patent
costs but shall not relieve Licensee from responsibility to pay patent costs incurred prior to the expiration of the * (*) * notice
period. Such U.S. or foreign patent application or patent shall thereupon cease to be a Patent Right hereunder, Licensee shall
have no further rights therein and COH shall be free to license its rights to that particular U.S. or foreign patent application
or patent to any other party on any terms.


 


(c)          Each
Party shall promptly provide written notice to the other in the event it becomes aware of any actual or probable infringement of
any of the Patent Rights in or relevant to the Field or of any Third Party claim regarding the enforceability or validity of any
Patent Rights (“Infringement Notice”). Licensee shall, in cooperation with COH, use reasonable efforts to terminate
infringement without litigation.

(d)          If
infringing activity has not been abated within * (*) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, then Licensee
may, following consultation with COH, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, take action against any alleged infringer
or in defense of such any claim, provided, that Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement. Any recovery obtained
by Licensee as the result of legal proceedings initiated and paid for by Licensee pursuant to this subsection (d), after deduction
of Licensee’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in securing such recovery, shall be deemed to be Net Sales of Licensed
Products and/or Licensed Services in the calendar quarter in which such recovery was received and royalties shall be due and payable
thereon accordingly.


 


(e)          If
COH is involuntarily joined in a suit initiated by Licensee, then the Licensee will pay any costs incurred by COH arising out of
such suit, including but not limited to, reasonable legal fees of counsel that COH selects and retains to represent it in the suit.


 


(f)          In
the event that Licensee declines either to cause such infringement to cease (e.g., by settlement or injunction) or to initiate
and thereafter diligently maintain legal proceedings against the infringer other than as part of a mutually agreed upon bona fide
strategy, developed with the guidance of outside patent counsel, to preserve the Patent Rights, COH may, in its sole discretion
and at its sole expense, take action against such alleged infringer or in defense of any such Third Party claim. Any recovery obtained
by COH as the result of any such legal proceedings shall be for the benefit of COH only.


 


7.2           Trademarks.
Licensee shall be responsible for the selection, registration, maintenance, and defense of all trademarks for use in connection
with the sale or marketing of Licensed Products and Licensed Services in the Field in the Territory (the “Marks”),
as well as all expenses associated therewith. All uses of the Marks by Licensee or a Sublicensee shall comply in all material respects
with all applicable laws and regulations (including those laws and regulations particularly applying to the proper use and designation
of trademarks in the applicable countries). Licensee shall not, without COH’s prior written consent, use any trademarks or
house marks of COH (including the COH corporate name), or marks confusingly similar thereto, in connection with Licensee commercialization
of Licensed Products or Licensed Services under this Agreement in any promotional materials or applications or in any manner implying
an endorsement by COH of Licensee or the Licensed Products or Licensed Services. Licensee shall own all Marks.


 


7.3           Challenge
to the Patent Rights by Licensee.


 


(a)          COH
may terminate this Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 3.3, above, all Sublicenscs issued hereunder, upon written notice to
Licensee in the event that Licensee or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees directly or indirectly asserts a Patent Challenge.
“Patent Challenge” means any challenge in a legal or administrative proceeding to the patentability,
validity or enforceability of any of the Patent Rights (or any claim thereof), including by: (a) filing or pursuing a declaratory
judgment action in which any of the Patent Rights is alleged to be invalid or unenforceable; (h) citing prior art against any of
the Patent Rights, filing a request for or pursuing a re-examination of any of the Patent Rights (other than with COH’s written
agreement), or becoming a party to or pursuing an interference; or (c) Mina or pursuing any re-examination, opposition. cancellation,
nullity or other like proceedings against any of the Patent Rights; but excluding any challenge raised as a defense against a claim,
action or proceeding asserted by COH against Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees. In lieu of exercising its rights to terminate
tinder this Section 7.3(a) COH may elect upon written notice to increase the payments due under all of Section 4 by *
percent (*%), which election will be effective retroactively to the date of the commencement of the Patent Challenge.
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that this Section 7.3(a) is reasonable, valid and necessary for the adequate protection of COH’s
interest in and to the Patent Rights, and that would not have granted to Licensee the licenses under those Patent Rights, without
this Section.

of such historic expenditures by COH, Licensee shall reimburse COH for such expenses within * of the Effective Date.


 


(c)          After
the Effective Date. COH shall provide to Licensee an annual invoice and reasonably detailed documentation with respect to COH’s
out-of-pocket expenses incurred with respect to such prosecution and maintenance for the previous year. Licensee shall reimburse
COH for * percent of such expenses within * after receipt of such invoice and documentation.

as to conform with the patent laws of the country to which such Licensed Products are shipped or in which such products are sold
and such Licensed Services performed.
