(d)    direct the replication of or the use of the CELLS for any purpose other than as set forth in Section 2.1 or as
otherwise specified herein.

conferring explicitly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise any license, right or immunity under any rights that LICENSOR (and its successors, AFFILIATES and assigns, and successors, AFFILIATES and assigns of each of the foregoing) now owns or
holds a license to, or acquires or obtains a license to in the future, other than the specifically identified RIGHTS for use in connection with LICENSEE PRODUCTS, regardless of whether such other rights are dominant or subordinate to the RIGHTS.
Furthermore, LICENSEE and its AFFILIATES have not provided and will not provide, and LICENSOR and its AFFILIATES have not received and will not receive, any consideration except that which is expressly provided herein for the specific rights
expressly granted herein. LICENSOR and its AFFILIATES do not represent or warrant that the RIGHTS include all rights owned, licensed or controlled by LICENSOR and/or its AFFILIATES that may pertain to (i) the full breadth and scope of RIGHTS
and/or LICENSEE PRODUCTS, (ii) the full breadth and scope of compositions and/or methods LICENSEE and/or its AFFILIATES may employ related to RIGHTS and/or LICENSEE PRODUCTS, (iii) the full breadth and scope of methods and/or compositions an

 2.4    Regulatory Support. In the event that LICENSEE engages in
clinical and regulatory activities directed towards obtaining regulatory approval of a LICENSEE PRODUCT and desires additional assistance or information from LICENSOR with respect to the cell lineage history, testing results or any other cell line
documentation relating to the CELLS, then LICENSOR shall, at the expense of LICENSEE, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance or information. 

3.    Fees. As consideration for the rights granted hereunder, LICENSEE agrees to pay LICENSOR a non-refundable, non-creditable license fee of [XXX], due upon the EFFECTIVE DATE and payable within fifteen (15) days thereof (“LICENSE FEE”). For

 LICENSEE shall be responsible for any and all bank transfer charges associated with payments required to be made by it or its
AFFILIATES under this AGREEMENT. 
 Any amount not paid by LICENSEE when due will bear interest at an annual rate of [XXX] over the prime rate offered by

The term “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” in this AGREEMENT means all non-public or proprietary information disclosed by or on behalf of a PARTY or its AFFILIATES to the other PARTY pursuant to this AGREEMENT, which may include ideas, inventions, discoveries, concepts, compounds,

samples, physical, chemical and biological materials and compounds, and the like, in whatever form or medium, and whether or not designated or marked “confidential” or “proprietary.” CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall include the
terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. 
 5.2    Exclusions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
AGREEMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall not include any item of information that the receiving party demonstrates: (i) became generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the receiving party or its AFFILIATES;
(ii) was available to the receiving party and its AFFILIATES on a non-confidential basis prior to the disclosure to the receiving party by the disclosing party; (iii) became available to the
receiving party or its AFFILIATES on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing party; provided that, such source is not bound by an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing
party; or (iv) was independently developed by the receiving party without use of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION as evidenced by written records. 

5.3    Non-Use and Confidentiality. The PARTIES shall maintain the
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in strict confidence and the PARTIES shall use CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. Each PARTY shall (i) limit its dissemination of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to
only those employees and agents of such PARTY and such PARTY’s AFFILIATES, who require such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in order to exercise the rights of each PARTY and such PARTY’s AFFILIATES under this AGREEMENT and such employees and
agents shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those specified herein; and (ii) not disclose, without the prior written consent of the other PARTY, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to any THIRD PARTY other than to
(a) an AFFILIATE or SERVICE PROVIDER to the extent required for the purposes of this AGREEMENT, (b) to a REGULATORY AUTHORITY in connection with REGULATORY FILINGS, or (c) to any GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY in accordance with LAWS. In the
event that the receiving party or anyone to whom it transmits the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION pursuant to this AGREEMENT becomes legally required to disclose any such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, the receiving party shall provide the disclosing party with
prompt notice of such required disclosure so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this AGREEMENT. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is
not obtained, the receiving party shall furnish only that portion of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION which is legally required to be furnished in the written opinion of the receiving party’s counsel. The burdens of
non-use and confidentiality under this Agreement will continue until terminated by mutual agreement between the PARTIES hereto. 

5.4    Press Release. Neither PARTY will make any public press release or similar publicity announcement or
disclosure that includes the other PARTY’s names, logos, trademarks or service marks, or the physical likeness or names of its employees or investigators or other symbols of the other PARTY without the other PARTY’s prior written consent.

dress, slogans, designs, or the like of LICENSOR or its AFFILIATES for any advertising, promotional, or other purposes without prior written permission to do so from LICENSOR; provided, however, that LICENSEE may disclose the existence of
this AGREEMENT and the name of LICENSOR and its AFFILIATES to LICENSEE’s AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS and THIRD PARTIES, and to REGULATORY AUTHORITIES in connection with REGULATORY FILINGS and in accordance with the requirements of any
GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES (subject to Section 5.3 above).

 6. Reservation of Rights. This AGREEMENT shall not limit the rights of LICENSOR
or its AFFILIATES in any way regarding RIGHTS. It is specifically understood that as between the PARTIES to this AGREEMENT, LICENSOR reserves the right for itself or through its AFFILIATES to exercise its rights in its intellectual property, and to
license, sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer such rights to others for any purpose whatsoever, under any terms it so chooses, in its sole discretion or not at all, including terms and conditions that are substantially similar to or different
from those in this AGREEMENT. For purposes of clarification, LICENSOR may provide THIRD PARTIES with draft contracts that are substantially similar to this AGREEMENT at its sole discretion. 

This AGREEMENT shall also not limit the rights of LICENSEE or its AFFILIATES to license their own intellectual property rights to any THIRD PARTY. For
clarity, in order for any THIRD PARTY to use CELLS or any LICENSOR intellectual property rights thereto (including RIGHTS) for commercial purposes (including without limitation pre-IND commercial research),
except as set forth in 2.1 (c), such a THIRD PARTY must obtain a separate license from LICENSOR for consideration and on terms and conditions to be determined by LICENSOR, and it is a material condition of this AGREEMENT that LICENSEE inform its
clients, potential licensees and other THIRD PARTIES interested in such rights of this requirement in writing with a copy of each such notification to LICENSOR.

earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 7 (the “TERM”).

thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to LICENSOR. Any such termination shall become effective at the end of the thirty (30) day notice period. 

7.3    Termination by LICENSOR. 

(i)    Upon a material breach or default of a material term under this AGREEMENT by LICENSEE or an AFFILIATE of LICENSEE,
including without limitation a failure to pay fees owed as specified in this AGREEMENT, this AGREEMENT may be terminated by LICENSOR upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to LICENSEE (the “CURE PERIOD”). Any termination of
this AGREEMENT pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall become effective at the end of the CURE PERIOD, unless LICENSEE has cured any such material breach prior to the expiration of such CURE PERIOD. 

(ii)    In the event that LICENSEE notifies LICENSOR, or LICENSOR becomes independently aware, that any of LICENSEE’s
AFFILIATES or a particular SERVICE PROVIDER is using CELLS other than as permitted under this AGREEMENT (a “NON-COMPLIANT ENTITY”), the rights conveyed by LICENSEE or its
AFFILIATES to such NON-COMPLIANT ENTITY under this AGREEMENT may be terminated by LICENSOR upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to LICENSEE. Said notice shall become effective at the end of the sixty (60) day period, unless during
said period LICENSEE causes the NON-COMPLIANT ENTITY to cure the non-compliant activities, and LICENSEE provides clear written evidence of such cure to LICENSOR.

its AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, and DISTRIBUTORS to immediately stop, exercising the license rights granted to LICENSEE in Section 2.1 of this AGREEMENT. 

(b)    LICENSEE shall, as soon as practicable, but in any event, within sixty (60) days following the effective date
of termination of this AGREEMENT cause its AFFILIATES and SERVICE PROVIDERS to return to LICENSEE or destroy all CELLS in such AFFILIATES’ and/or SERVICE PROVIDERS’ possession, with certification of such return or destruction in writing to

reason of rights conveyed by LICENSEE or its AFFILIATES to any AFFILIATE or SERVICE PROVIDER under this AGREEMENT, which termination does not include termination of the licenses granted to LICENSEE hereunder, LICENSEE shall, within thirty

or termination of this AGREEMENT); and (ii) Sections 1, 5, 6, 7.4, 8, 9.5, 9.6, 10, 11 and 12.

obligation hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred (whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation (i) through the acquisition by any person or group, directly or indirectly, of the beneficial
ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of LICENSEE; (ii) through a merger of

 12.4    Compliance with LAWS. Each PARTY agrees to comply with
LAWS in exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this AGREEMENT. Nothing in this AGREEMENT shall be construed so as to require the commission of any act contrary to law, and wherever there is any conflict between any provision of
this AGREEMENT or concerning the legal right of the PARTIES to enter into this AGREEMENT and any statute, law, ordinance or treaty, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the affected provisions of this AGREEMENT shall be curtailed and limited
only to the extent necessary to bring it within the applicable legal requirements. 
 12.5    Injunctive Relief.
Notwithstanding anything herein seemingly to the contrary, either PARTY may seek injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or limit damage to that PARTY’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or otherwise preserve the status quo
pending the proceeding.     
 12.6    Relationship of Parties. The relationship of the
PARTIES is that of independent contractors, and nothing herein shall be construed as establishing one PARTY or its AFFILIATES as the agent, legal representative, joint venturer, partner, employee, or servant of the other PARTY or its AFFILIATES.
Except as set forth herein, neither PARTY shall have any right, power or authority to assume, create or incur any expense, liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other PARTY or its AFFILIATES. No PARTY shall hold itself out as
being the agent, legal representative, joint venturer, partner, employee, or servant of the other PARTY or its AFFILIATES or as having authority to represent or act for the other PARTY or its AFFILIATES in any capacity whatsoever, except as
authorized herein. 
 12.7    Force Majeure. If the performance of this AGREEMENT or any obligation hereunder
(except for the payment of money) is prevented, restricted or interfered with by reason of fire or other casualty or accident, strikes or labor disputes, inability to procure raw materials, power or supplies, war, invasion, civil commotion or other
violence, compliance with any order of any governmental authorities or any other act or conditions whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of either PARTY hereto, the PARTY so affected upon giving a prompt notice to the other PARTY shall be excused
from such performance to the extent of such prevention, restriction or interference; provided, however, that the PARTY so affected shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of
non-performance and shall continue performance hereunder with the utmost dispatch whenever such causes are removed, to the extent commercially reasonable. 

12.8    Unenforceabilitv. If any provision of this AGREEMENT is held to be unenforceable for any reason, it shall
be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the PARTIES to the extent possible. In any event, all other provisions of this AGREEMENT shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the full extent possible. 

12.9    Waiver, Modifications and Amendments. The failure of any PARTY to insist on the performance of any
obligation hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such obligation. Waiver of any breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any other breach of such provision or any other provision on such occasion or any succeeding
occasion. No waiver, modification, release or amendment of any obligation under or provision of this AGREEMENT shall be valid or effective unless in writing and signed by the PARTIES. 

12.10    Headings. Headings used herein are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the
meaning of this AGREEMENT as set forth in the text.

 12.11    Severability. Should one or more of the provisions
contained in this AGREEMENT be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court or tribunal with jurisdiction to do so, then the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired
thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affect the PARTIES’ substantive rights. In such instance, the PARTIES shall use their best efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with
valid, legal and enforceable provision(s) which, insofar as practical, implement the purposes of this AGREEMENT. 

12.12    Counterparts. This AGREEMENT may be signed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall
constitute one and the same AGREEMENT, binding on the PARTIES as if such PARTIES had signed the same document. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by either Party hereto by facsimile transmission or
e-mail delivery of a “.pdf’ or similarly formatted data file will constitute valid execution and delivery of this Agreement. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the PARTIES intending to be legally bound have caused this AGREEMENT to be executed by their respective duly authorized representatives as
