members, and the location of meetings, which will be codified in the written minutes of the first JPC meeting. If either Party deems it reasonably advisable, the Parties will enter into a mutually agreeable common interest agreement covering the
intellectual property matters contemplated by this Agreement. [***]. 


  

	8.2	 Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents 



 

	 	(a)	 Patents Owned or Controlled by a Party. Each Party will have the right, at its cost and expense and at
its discretion, to obtain, prosecute, maintain, and enforce throughout the world any Patents owned or Controlled solely by such Party. 


  

	 	(b)	 Joint Patents. Upon the identification of a Joint Patent Right by the JPC, the JPC will determine the
nature of the invention and assign one Party as the lead Party for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent based upon the following: (i) If the Joint Patent is drawn to the invention of a new use of a Product, [***] will be the
lead party; and (ii) if the Joint Patent is drawn to an improvement in the Manufacture of a Product, [***] will be the lead party. The Parties will share in the costs associated with the filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Joint Patents.




  
 14 














	 	(c)	 Licensed Patents. Glycosyn will provide Lupa Bio with an update of the filing, prosecution and
maintenance status for each Licensed Patent on a periodic basis and will reasonably consult with and cooperate with Lupa Bio with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of such Licensed Patents, including providing Lupa Bio
with drafts of material filings in sufficient time to allow Lupa Bio’s review and comment before such filings are due. Glycosyn, or its outside counsel, will provide to Lupa Bio copies of any material papers relating to the filing, prosecution,
and maintenance of such Licensed Patents promptly upon their being filed or received. Glycosyn may cease prosecuting or maintaining particular applications or patents within such Licensed Patents in selected jurisdictions, if [***] determines that
it is not commercially reasonable to continue such efforts (in which case the terms of 8.2(d) will apply). 


  

	 	(d)	 Discontinued Patents. If, under 8.2(c), Glycosyn as the party responsible for the prosecution and
maintenance of the Licensed Patents elects to not pursue or continue the filing, prosecution, or maintenance of any particular applications or patents, or subject matter included in the Licensed Patents, in any jurisdiction, Glycosyn will give as
much advance written notice as reasonably practicable (but in no event less than [***] or, in the case of an applicable impending deadline, [***] prior to such deadline) to Lupa Bio of any decision not to pursue or continue the preparation, filing,
prosecution and maintenance of such Licensed Patent or subject matter included in such Licensed Patent (a “Discontinued Patent”). In such case, Lupa Bio may elect to continue preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance
of the Discontinued Patent in the select jurisdiction at its expense. Glycosyn will execute such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary for Lupa Bio to continue prosecution or maintenance of the applicable Discontinued
Patent. If Lupa Bio continues the prosecution and maintenance of a Discontinued Patent and wishes to cease prosecution, it does not need to provide notice to Glycosyn prior to ceasing prosecution or maintenance of such Discontinued Patent.



  

	 	(e)	 Cooperation. Each Party will cooperate reasonably in the preparation, filing, prosecution, and
maintenance of the Product-Specific Patents and the Joint Patent. Such cooperation includes (a) promptly executing all papers and instruments and requiring employees to execute such papers and instruments as reasonable and appropriate so as to
enable such responsible Party, to file, prosecute, and maintain such Patents in any country; and (b) promptly informing such other Party of matters that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of any such Patents. Each
party shall bear their own cost of participation on the JPC. 


  

  
 15 














	8.3	 Enforcement of Patents 



 

	 	(a)	 Notice of Infringement or Actions Alleging Invalidity of the Glycosyn Licensed Patents. Each Party will
notify the other Party within a reasonable period of time if any action, suit, claim, dispute, or proceeding concerning the Licensed Patents hereunder or a Product has been initiated, which, if determined adversely to a Party, would have a material
adverse effect on the licenses granted by Glycosyn to Lupa Bio under this Agreement, or that would have a material adverse effect on or would materially impair either Party’s rights under this Agreement. Any information communicated pursuant to
this 8.3(a) will be treated as Confidential Information subject to the terms of ARTICLE 7. 


  

	 	(b)	 In the Field. If the Parties determine that a Third Party is infringing the Licensed Patents in the
Field, Lupa Bio will have the first right to lead the enforcement of the Licensed Patents, including enforcement against a Third Party marketing a medical food or supplement product within the Field by the inclusion of health claims or dosing
recommendations to achieve therapeutic effect (“Non-Therapeutic Infringement in the Field”). If Lupa Bio (i) provides written notice to Glycosyn that Lupa Bio does not intend to
enforce the Licensed Patents or (ii) does not enforce the Licensed Patents within [***] of becoming aware of potential Third Party infringement, Glycosyn will have the right to enforce the Licensed Patents within the Field without written
consent of Lupa Bio. 


  

	 	(c)	 Outside of the Field. If the Parties determine that a Third Party is infringing the Licensed Patents
where the Third Party is commercializing a drug, medical food or supplement containing a Product outside of the Field, not including Non-Therapeutic Infringement in the Field (“Outside
of the Field”), then Glycosyn will have the first right to lead the enforcement of the Licensed Patents Outside of the Field. If Glycosyn (i) provides written notice to Lupa Bio that Glycosyn does not intend to enforce the
Licensed Patents or (ii) does not enforce the Licensed Patents within a reasonable period of time that would not give rise to a defense of laches, Lupa Bio will have the right to enforce the Licensed Patents Outside of the Field without written
consent of Glycosyn. 


  

	 	(d)	 Cooperation. The Party not enforcing the applicable Licensed Patent will provide reasonable assistance
to the other Party (at such other Party’s expense), including providing access to relevant documents and other evidence, making its employees available at reasonable business hours, and joining the action as a named party to the extent
necessary to allow the enforcing Party to bring or maintain the action or establish damages. If any Third Party asserts in writing or in any legal proceeding that any of the Licensed Patents are unenforceable based on any term or condition of this
Agreement, the Parties shall amend this Agreement as may reasonably be required to effect the original intent of the Parties, including to preserve the enforceability of such Licensed Patents. 



 

	 	(e)	 Joinder. If Lupa Bio is leading the enforcement of the Licensed Patents, Glycosyn will join such action
as a plaintiff and will cause, to the extent necessary, the licensors of the Licensed Patents to Glycosyn to join such action as a plaintiff to ensure proper standing for such enforcement. 



 

	 	(f)	 Recovery. Any damages or other monetary awards recovered with respect to any action contemplated by this
8.3 will be shared as follows: 


  

  
 16 














	 	(i)	 the amount of such recovery will first be applied to the Parties’ reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such proceeding (which amounts will be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses); then



  

	 	(ii)	 any remaining proceeds will be treated as if they were [***] hereunder if [***], [***] initiated the
proceeding, and [***] will pay [***] on such amount in accordance with [***], as applicable, and will retain the remainder of such proceeds. 


  

	 	(iii)	 For the avoidance of doubt, in any action arising from the Licensed Patents Outside of the Field, Lupa Bio
shall be entitled to recover its reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such proceeding, and the entirety of [***] from such recovery shall be
awarded [***]. 


  

	 	(g)	 Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this ARTICLE 8, neither Party may enter a
settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this ARTICLE 8 that disclaims, limits the scope of, admits the invalidity or unenforceability of, or grants a license, covenant not to sue or similar immunity under a
Patent Right Controlled by the other Party without first obtaining the written consent of the Party that Controls the relevant Patent Right. 


  

	 	(h)	 35 USC 271 (e)(2) Infringement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this 8.3, solely with
respect to the Patents licensed to Lupa Bio under this Agreement for an infringement under 35 USC 271(e)(2), the time period set forth in 8.3(a) during which a Party will have the initial right to bring a Proceeding [***], so that, to the extent the
other Party has the right, pursuant to such Section to initiate a Proceeding if the first Party does not initiate a Proceeding, such other Party will have such right if the first Party does not initiate a Proceeding within 25 days after such first
Party’s receipt of written notice of such Competitive Infringement. 


  

	8.4	 Joint Research Agreement Under The Leahy-Smith American Invents Act. If a Party intends to invoke its
rights under 35 U.S.C. § 102(c) of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, once agreed to by the other Party, it will notify the other Party and the Parties will use reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate their activities with such Party
with respect to any submissions, filings or other activities in support thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a “joint research agreement” as defined in 35 U.S.C. § 100(h). 



 

	8.5	 Patent Term Extension. The JPC will select the optimal Patent licensed under this Agreement, taking into
account scope, validity, term and other relevant factors, to apply for patent term extension, wherever applicable to a Product. 



  
 17 














	8.6	 Orange Book Listing. Lupa Bio will promptly, accurately and completely list, with the applicable
Regulatory Authorities during the Agreement Term, all applicable Patent Rights that Cover a Product. Prior to such listings, the Parties will meet, through the Joint Patent Committee, to evaluate and identify all applicable Patent Rights, and Lupa
Bio will have the right to review, where reasonable, original records relating to any invention for which Patent Rights are being considered by the Joint Patent Committee for any such listing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Lupa Bio will
retain final decision-making authority as to the listing of all applicable Patent applicable to each Approval. 


  

	8.7	 Patent Marking. Each Party shall, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicenses, to the extent
applicable, mark Licensed Products sold by it hereunder (in a reasonable manner consistent with industry custom and practice) with appropriate patent numbers or indicia to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, in those countries in which such
markings or such notices impact recoveries of damages or equitable remedies available with respect to infringements of Patents. 


  

	8.8	 Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted by Glycosyn to Lupa Bio under this Agreement are,
for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (i.e., Title 11 of the U.S. Code) or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under
Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States. The Parties agree that Lupa Bio, as the licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its
rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States that provide similar protection for ‘intellectual property.’ The Parties further agree that, in the event of the
commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Glycosyn under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States, the Lupa Bio will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as
appropriate) such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in Lupa Bio’s possession, will be promptly delivered to Lupa Bio upon the Lupa Bio’s written request therefor. Any agreements
supplemental hereto will be deemed to be “agreements supplementary to” this Agreement for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

	 	(ii)	 Glycosyn’s Right to Terminate. If Glycosyn believes that Lupa Bio is in material breach of this
Agreement (other than with respect to a failure to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize a Product under, which is governed by 9.2(b)), then Glycosyn may deliver written notice of such material breach to Lupa Bio. If the
breach is curable, Lupa Bio will have sixty (60) days to cure such breach (except to the extent such breach involves the failure to make a payment when due, which breach must be cured within thirty (30) days following such notice). If Lupa
Bio fails to cure such breach within the sixty (60) day or thirty (30) day period, as applicable, or if the breach is not subject to cure, Glycosyn may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Lupa Bio.



  

	 	(b)	 Remedies for Failure of Lupa Bio to Use Commercially Reasonable Efforts. If Lupa Bio, in Glycosyn’s
reasonable determination, fails to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize a Product, Glycosyn will provide Lupa Bio Notice of such failure and, within thirty (30) days thereafter, Glycosyn and Lupa Bio will meet and
confer to discuss and resolve the matter in good faith, and devise a mutually agreeable cure plan, including timeline to cure (the “Cure Plan”). Such meeting will include a neutral Third Party with at least 20 years of drug

entitled to terminate the license grants under Article 4 in respect of such Licensed Product. 


  

  
 19

substantially all of its assets; or if the other Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of substantially all of its debts; or if the other Party will be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency
proceeding, and such petition will not be dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof; or if the other Party will propose or be a party to any dissolution.

such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include reasonable
retention by such Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making such Party, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers and employees available on a mutually convenient basis
to provide additional information and explanation of any records or information provided, and the Party controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim shall reimburse the respective other Party for all of its related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Third Party Claim or consent to any judgment in
respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee

GLYCOSYN AND 



  
 26 













 
LUPA BIO EACH SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR
PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE VALIDITY OF ANY PATENTS OR THE NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES. 

ARTICLE 12 DISPUTE RESOLUTION 
  

	12.1	 Resolution by Senior Representatives. The Parties will seek to settle amicably any and all disputes,
controversies or claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Any such dispute between the Parties will be promptly presented to the Chief Executive Officer of Lupa Bio and the Manager of Glycosyn (the “Senior
Representatives”), or their respective designees, for resolution. Such Senior Representatives, or their respective designees, will meet in-person or by teleconference as soon as reasonably
possible thereafter, and use their good faith efforts to agree upon the resolution of the dispute, controversy or claim. If a dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to the validity or interpretation of, compliance with, breach or
alleged breach of or termination of this Agreement cannot be resolved within 30 days of presentation to the Senior Representatives, or their respective designees, for resolution, either Party may refer such dispute to binding arbitration to be
conducted as set forth below in this 12.2. For clarification, any dispute relating to the validity or scope of any Patent will not be subject to arbitration. 


  


	12.2	 Arbitration. If the Parties fail to resolve the Dispute through the meeting of the Senior
Representatives, and a Party desires to pursue resolution of the Dispute, the Dispute will be submitted by either Party for resolution in binding arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR Non-Administered
Arbitration Rules (“CPR Rules”) (www.cpradr.org), except where they conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. The arbitration will be held in Massachusetts. All aspects of the arbitration will be
treated as Confidential Information. 


 The arbitrators will be chosen from the CPR Panel of Distinguished Neutrals,
unless a candidate not on such panel is approved by both Parties. Each arbitrator will be a lawyer with at least 15 years of experience with a law firm or corporate law department of over 25 lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general
jurisdiction. To the extent that the Dispute requires special expertise, the Parties will so inform CPR prior to the beginning of the selection process. 

  
 27 













 The arbitration tribunal will consist of three arbitrators, of whom each Party will
designate one in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in CPR Rule 5.4. The chair will be chosen in accordance with CPR Rule 6.4. 

If, however, the aggregate award sought by the Parties is less than [***] and equitable relief is not sought, a single arbitrator will be
chosen in accordance with the CPR Rules. 
 Candidates for the arbitrator position(s) may be interviewed by representatives of the Parties
in advance of their selection, provided that all Parties are represented. 
 The Parties agree to select the arbitrator(s) within [***] of
initiation of the arbitration. The hearing will be concluded within six months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and the award will be rendered within [***] of the conclusion of the hearing, or of any post hearing briefing, which briefing will be
completed by both sides within [***] after the conclusion of the hearing. If the Parties cannot agree upon a schedule, then the arbitrator(s) will set the schedule following the time limits set forth above as closely as practical. 

The hearing will be concluded in [***]. Multiple hearing days will be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible. A transcript of
the testimony adduced at the hearing will be made and will be made available to each Party. 
 The arbitrator(s) will be guided, but not
bound, by the CPR Protocol on Disclosure of Documents and Presentation of Witnesses in Commercial Arbitration (www.cpradr.org) (“CPR Protocol”). The Parties will attempt to agree on modes of document disclosure, electronic
discovery, witness presentation, etc. within the parameters of the CPR Protocol. If the Parties cannot agree on discovery and presentation issues, the arbitrator(s) will decide on presentation modes and provide for discovery within the CPR Protocol,
understanding that the Parties contemplate reasonable discovery. 
 The arbitrator(s) will decide the merits of any Dispute in accordance
with the law governing this Agreement, without application of any principle of conflict of laws that would result in reference to a different law. The arbitrator(s) may not apply principles such as “amiable compositeur” or “natural
justice and equity.” 
 The arbitrator(s) are expressly empowered to decide dispositive motions in advance of any hearing and will
endeavor to decide such motions as would a United States District Court Judge sitting in the jurisdiction whose substantive law governs. 
  

  
 28 













 The arbitrator(s) will render a written opinion stating the reasons upon which the award is
based. The Parties consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the district in which the arbitration is held for the enforcement of these provisions and the entry of judgment on any award rendered hereunder. Should such court
for any reason lack jurisdiction, any court with jurisdiction may act in the same fashion. 
 Each Party has the right to seek from the
appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the Dispute. Rule 14 of the CPR Rules does not apply to this
Agreement. 
 EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF COURT ACTIONS PERMITTED BY 12.3, AND FOR CLAIMS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO 12.2, AS SET
FORTH IN 12.3, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES: (1) ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY, (2) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RELIEF MANDATED BY STATUTE, ANY CLAIM TO PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLIED, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR LOST PROFITS/REVENUES
DAMAGES, AND (3) ANY CLAIM FOR ATTORNEY FEES, COSTS AND PREJUDGMENT INTEREST. 
 Each Party will bear its own attorneys’ fees,
costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and will pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrator; provided, however, the arbitrator will be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing party, and if so, to
award to that prevailing party reimbursement for any or all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and
costs of the administrator and the arbitrator. 
  

	12.3	 Injunctive Relief; Court Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party
will be entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy it may have at law or in equity, injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement by the other
Party, without the posting of any bond or other security, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the Parties or any ongoing arbitration proceeding. The Parties agree that in the event of a
threatened or actual material breach of this Agreement injunctive or equitable relief would be an appropriate remedy. 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 Patents or other intellectual property rights, and no such claim will be subject to arbitration pursuant to 12.2. 



  
 29 













 ARTICLE 13 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	13.2	 Assignment and Successors. Neither this Agreement nor any obligation of a Party hereunder may be
assigned by either Party without the consent of the other, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except that each Party may assign this Agreement and the rights, obligations and interests of such Party, in whole or in
part, without the other Party’s consent, to any of its Affiliates, to any purchaser of all or substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates or to any successor corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation,
share exchange or other similar transaction. 


  

	13.3	 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a
court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication will not affect or impair, in whole or in part, the validity, enforceability, or legality of any remaining portions of this Agreement. All remaining portions will remain in full force and effect as
if the original Agreement had been executed without the invalidated, unenforceable or illegal part. The Parties agree to use good faith, reasonable efforts to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision with a legal, valid and
enforceable provision that achieves similar economic and non-economic effects as the severed provision. 


  

	13.4	 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of Massachusetts, USA without reference to any rules of conflicts of laws. Subject to 12.2, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of
any federal court of the United States of America sitting in Massachusetts and any appellate court having jurisdiction thereover, in any action in aid of arbitration, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
actions in aid of arbitration may be heard and determined in any such federal court in Massachusetts. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, any dispute relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of
any Patent Rights will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the patent laws of the applicable jurisdiction. 



  
 30 














	13.5	 Force Majeure. No Party will be held responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default
under, or in breach of any provision of, this Agreement for failure or delay in performing any obligation of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, and without the fault or negligence of the Party so failing or delaying.
For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure means a cause beyond the reasonable control of a Party, which may include acts of God; acts, regulations, or laws of any government; war; terrorism; civil commotion; fire, flood, earthquake, tornado,
tsunami, explosion or storm; pandemic; epidemic and failure of public utilities or common carriers. In such event the Party so failing, or delaying will immediately notify the other Party of such inability and of the period for which such inability
is expected to continue. The Party giving such notice will be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled for up to a maximum of 90 days, after which time the
Parties will negotiate in good faith any modifications of the terms of this Agreement that may be necessary to arrive at an equitable solution, unless the Party giving such notice has set out a reasonable timeframe and plan to resolve the effects of
such force majeure and executes such plan within such timeframe. To the extent possible, each Party will use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any force majeure. 



 

	13.6	 Notices. Any notice or request required or permitted to be given under or in connection with this
Agreement will be deemed to have been sufficiently given if in writing and personally delivered or sent by certified mail (return receipt requested), facsimile transmission (receipt verified), or overnight express courier service (receipt verified),

	13.8	 Waiver. Neither Party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in
writing. The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or
condition. No waiver by either Party of any condition or term in any one or more instances will be construed as a continuing waiver or subsequent waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term. 



 

	13.9	 Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement (including the attached Appendices and Schedules) sets

authority to bind or obligate the other Party, and neither Party will represent that it has such authority.

Party will disclose to the requesting Party such data and results as promptly as possible. 


  

	13.13	 Construction of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the results of
negotiations between the Parties and their representatives and neither of which has acted under duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted and construed in
accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and each of the Parties hereto hereby waives the application in connection with the interpretation and construction of this Agreement of any rule of law to the effect that ambiguous or conflicting
terms or provisions contained in this Agreement will be interpreted or construed against the Party whose attorney prepared the executed draft or any earlier draft of this Agreement. 



 

	13.14	 Supremacy. In the event of any express conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any Schedule
or Appendix hereto, the terms of this Agreement will apply. The Parties understand and agree that the Schedules identifying the Licensed Technology are not intended to be the final and complete embodiment of any terms or provisions of this
Agreement, and are to be updated from time to time during the Agreement Term, as appropriate and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Party becomes aware of the debarment or threatened debarment of any person or entity providing services to such Party, including the Party itself and its Affiliates or Sublicensees, which directly or indirectly relate to activities under this
