ARTICLE 2

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COLLABORATION


 


2.1
Overview. Either Licensee may elect to ask NANOMIX to develop Products or to cooperate with the Licensee or its Affiliate(s)
in the development of Products. The clinical trials and any such development or joint development will be conducted in accordance with
a development plan that is mutually agreed to and executed by the applicable Parties, that defines each Party’s (and/or their Affiliate’
s) assigned development activities, the expected timeline, specifications, required resources and estimated costs for the development
thereunder (each, a “Development Plan”), and each such Development Plan shall be attached to and made a part of this
Agreement. The parties to each Development Plan agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the activities assigned to such
party under the Development Plan. No Development Plan or any modification thereto, shall become effective or be attached to or made a
part of this Agreement unless it is first executed by NANOMIX and at least one of the Licensees, each of which will not unreasonably withhold
or delay approval and execution. Nothing in this Agreement grants the Licensees or their Affiliates any right to develop Products in the
Human Field or to run any clinical trials except as expressly set forth in a Development Plan executed by such Licensee(s) and NANOMIX.
This development governance will not be held for the veterinary program where the development is relegated to RedPharm and MTA2.


 


2.2 Funding
of Development Program. Each Development Plan adopted by the Parties in accordance with Section 2.1 will include an allocation
of the relative costs to be borne by each party to such Development Plan for the work being performed, based upon their reasonable
agreement and taking into account, among other things the type and location of the development activity being performed (so that,
for example, the Licensees will bear a more significant portion of development costs in the Human Field for activities taking place
within the Human Territory and NANOMIX will bear a more significant portion of development costs in the Human Field taking place in
the Excluded Territory). If NANOMIX is required to reimburse either Licensee, or either Licensee is required to reimburse NANOMIX
for development costs incurred, as provided in a Development Plan, payment therefor shall be made within thirty (30) days after the
receipt of an invoice and reasonable evidence of the development costs incurred.


 


2.3
Management of the Development Program. The Development Plan shall specify management responsibility for the Development
Program. NANOMIX and at least one of the Licensees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Licensee, shall meet at least once per
calendar month to review the activities and progress under the Development Plan(s). For clarity, each Party shall bear its own expenses
incurred relating to such meetings, except that Licensees shall reimburse NANOMIX for any expenses incurred relating to any such meetings
to be held in the Human Territory.

    Certain information in this document (indicated by “[***]”) has been excluded pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 601(b)(10). Such excluded information is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed.


    

 


2.4
Development Supply. Each Licensee and its Affiliates may purchase Elab Analyzers and Elab Cartridges from NANOMIX in support
of development activities via purchase orders placed on NANOMIX. The Parties will mutually agree on forecasted use and delivery schedules.
NANOMIX will be reimbursed the Transfer Price (as defined below) for supplying such Elab Analyzers and Elab Cartridges. The “Transfer
Price” will be such that the excess of Transfer Price over Manufacturing Cost yields a Manufacturing Margin to NANOMIX of [***]%
of the Transfer Price (“Manufacturing Margin”). “Manufacturing Cost” of a Product means NANOMIX’s
fully-allocated cost of goods, including without limitation all variable costs; allocable depreciation for equipment and materials used
directly for manufacturing of the Product (based upon the use of such equipment and materials for Product relative to use of such equipment
and materials for all those products other than the Products) and overhead specifically related to the manufacturing activities of the
Products, but not including general overhead, depreciation or SG&A. “Manufacturing Cost” of a Product shall also include
all sales-based or per unit royalties paid by NANOMIX to Third Parties for such Product. For example, if Manufacturing Cost were $[***],
the Transfer Price would be $[***]:


 


	Transfer Price	 	$	[***]	 	 	 		 
	Manufacturing Cost	 	$	[***]	 	 	 		 
	Manufacturing Margin	 	$	[***]	 	 	 	[***]	 




 


If Products are procured by NANOMIX from a third
party manufacturer, Manufacturing Cost shall be the price paid by NANOMIX for the Products, including without limitation all costs of
shipping and taxes.


 


2.5
License of Licensees’ Background Technology. The Licensees hereby grant to NANOMIX, during the term of the Development
Program, a worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Licensees’ Background Technology solely for the purposes of NANOMIX performing
its obligations under the Development Plan(s).


 


2.6
Clinical Trials Cooperation. The Licensees will cooperate with NANOMIX in conducting clinical trials of Products in the
Territory in accordance with this Article 2 and the applicable Development Plan. The Parties will share the costs and expenses of such
clinical trials as provided in the relevant Development Plan. Generally, for human clinical trials conducted in the People’s Republic
of China or in any other country located within the Human Territory, NANOMIX will be responsible for an agreed-upon portion of the costs
and expenses for such trials if the results therefrom are required for seeking approval for human use outside the Excluded Territory from
the FDA or any comparable regulatory body outside of the United States. All human clinical trials will be performed solely in accordance
with protocols, and at institutions, in each case, that have been previously approved by NANOMIX in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties to the relevant Development Plan, the Licensees shall be solely
responsible for obtaining all ethics and regulatory approvals required for conducting each clinical trial in the Territory, and all consents
and authorizations from trial subjects that are necessary to permit use and disclosure of trial data to NANOMIX in accordance with this
Agreement. The Licensees will keep records of all clinical testing activity in accordance with Section 2.7 and will report status and
results on a regular basis during the trial, including without limitation, a final audited report for each clinical trial. Clinical trial
procedures and documentation will follow quality guidelines sufficient to meet FDA and SFDA requirements.

activities, and maintained in independent laboratory notebooks. The other Parties shall have the right to review and copy such records
at reasonable times to the extent necessary to exploit the rights granted to it under this Agreement. The aforementioned right to copy
and review records is subject to the confidentiality and non-use obligations of Article 7. The obligations of this Section 2.7 shall survive
for a period of three (3) years after completion of the applicable Development Program.


 


2.8
Regulatory Submissions. The Licensees shall have the sole responsibility and obligation to prepare and submit to the appropriate
regulatory agencies all applications for approval to market the Products in the Field in the Territory and shall own all such applications
and the approvals granted thereon (“Regulatory Filings”). NANOMIX will promptly provide to the Licensees any reasonably
requested documentation and any reasonably requested support for regulatory filings, complaint handling, and the like, subject to the
Licensees’ reimbursement of NANOMIX’s expenses associated with such assistance and/or copies of documentation. The Licensees
hereby grant NANOMIX a right to reference relevant data within the Regulatory Filings for purposes of developing and commercializing Products
outside the Field and the Territory. The Licensees each agree to provide the FDA (and any comparable regulatory body outside the United
States) with written notice, on which NANOMIX is copied, that the Licensee grants NANOMIX such right to reference the Regulatory Filings.

in writing of such Claim, (b) give the Indemnitor the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnitor so desires, to assume
the defense and settlement thereof, and (c) fully cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives, at the Indemnitor’

Claim in accordance with Section 10.3(a), the Indemnitor shall have sole authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into
any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Claim provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such Claim could have adverse effect on the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor shall not be liable
for any settlement or other disposition of a Claim by an Indemnitee that is reached without the written consent of the Indemnitor. Regardless
of whether the Indemnitor chooses to defend or prosecute any Claim, no Indemnitee shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle,
compromise or discharge, any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

in good faith a valid and enforceable substitute provision to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision that most nearly reflects
the original objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement.


 


12.7
Waiver. Any term of this Agreement may be waived only by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized representative

such dispute referred to the Chief Executive Officers (or equivalent) of NANOMIX and of one of the Licensees, for attempted resolution
by good faith negotiations. If the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days following such written notice, or
if either Licensees or NANOMIX concludes that the matter will not be so resolved, either Licensees or NANOMIX may, by written notice to
the other; require that such dispute shall be finally settled by binding arbitration by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Development
Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) under its rules of arbitration, by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with said rules.

they will not request, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to award, punitive or exemplary damages against any Party. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 12.8, each Party shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary
restraining order, preliminary injunction or other similar interim or conservatory relief, as necessary to protect the rights or property
of such Party, pending the outcome of such dispute. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be interpreted as limiting the powers of the
arbitrator with respect to any dispute subject to arbitration under this Agreement.
