METHOD FOR INDUCING UDP-GLUCURONOSYLTRANSFERASE 
ACTIVITY USING PTEROSTILBENE
This license agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective this 8th day of September, 2011 (“Effective Date”), by and between The Regents of the University of California, a California corporation, having its statewide administrative offices at 1111 Franklin Street, 12th Floor, Oakland, California 94607-5200 (“The Regents”) and ChromaDex Inc., a California corporation, having a principal place of business at 10005 Muirlands, Blvd, Suite G, Irvine, CA 92618, USA (“Licensee”).
BACKGROUND
A.    Certain inventions, generally characterized as Method for Inducing UDP¬Glucuronosyltransferase Activity Using Pterostilbene (collectively “Invention”), were made jointly by Dr. Jeremy Bartos, ChromaDex and in the course of research at the University of California, Irvine, by Drs. Frank Meyskens and Ryan Dellinger and are claimed in Patent Rights as defined below.
B.    The development of the Invention may have been sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services and, if so, as a consequence, this license is subject to overriding obligations to the United States Federal Government under 35 U.S.C. §§ 200-212 and applicable regulations including a non-exclusive, non-transferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced the Invention for or on behalf of the United States Government throughout the world. Upon request by the Licensee, The Regents shall conduct reasonable investigations to determine whether the development of the Invention was sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services.
C.    The Licensee wishes to obtain certain rights from The Regents for the commercial development of the Invention, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and The Regents is willing to grant those rights so that the Invention may be developed and the benefits enjoyed by the general public.
D.    The scope of such rights granted by The Regents is intended to extend to the scope of the patents and patent applications in Patent Rights, but only to the extent that The Regents has proprietary rights in and to such Patent Rights.
E.    The Licensee is a “small business firm” as defined in 15 U.S.C. §632.
F.    Both parties recognize and agree that Earned Royalties are due under this Agreement with respect to products and methods and that such royalties will be paid with respect to both pending patent applications and issued patents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
The parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.DEFINITIONS
As used in this Agreement, the following terms, whether used in the singular or plural, shall have the following meanings:
1.1“Affiliate” of the Licensee means any entity which, directly or indirectly, Controls the Licensee, is Controlled by the Licensee or is under common Control with the Licensee. “Control” means (i) having the actual, present capacity to elect a majority of the directors of such affiliate; (ii) having the power to direct at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights entitled to elect directors; or (iii) in any country where the local law will not permit foreign equity participation of a majority, ownership or control, directly or indirectly, of the maximum percentage of such outstanding stock or voting rights permitted by local law.
1.2“Attributed Income” means the total gross proceeds, excluding Sublicensee Royalties, but including, without limitation, any license fees, maintenance fees, or milestone payments (other than milestone payments paid for the achievement of the milestones in Article 9 hereof), whether consisting of cash or any other forms of consideration and whether any rights other than Patent Rights are granted, which gross proceeds are received by or payable to the Licensee or an Affiliate of the Licensee from any Sublicensee in consideration of the grant of a sublicense under the Patent Rights; provided, however, that if rights other than Patent Rights are granted by Licensee or an Affiliate to a Sublicensee, then Attributed Income shall not include proceeds received by Licensee or an Affiliate that are reasonably attributed to such other rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Attributed Income shall not include proceeds attributed in such sublicense to bona fide (i) debt financing; (ii) equity (and conditional equity, such as warrants, convertible debt and the like) investments in the Licensee at market value; (iii) reimbursements of Patent Prosecution Costs actually incurred by the Licensee; (iv) payments or reimbursements specifically committed to research and/or development services to be provided on a going forward basis by Licensee for the applicable Sublicensee under such sublicense at or below commercially reasonable and standard rates and (v) payments from a Sublicensee that represent the Licensee’s share in net profits derived from the Sale of Licensed Products by or on behalf of the Licensee or a Sublicensee (including through a Joint Venture), provided that such net profits already take into account payments that are due to The Regents hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, any gross proceeds meeting the definition set forth above in this Article 1.2 shall be “Attributed Income” irrespective of whether such gross proceeds are received under one or more separate agreements and irrespective of how such gross proceeds are referred to or characterized by the Licensee or the Sublicensee.
1.3“Combination Product” means a combined Product that contains or uses a Licensed Product and at least one other active component, Product or process (a “Combination Product Component”), where (i) such Combination Product Component is not a Licensed Product, (ii) if such Combination Product Component were removed from such combined Product, the manufacture, use, Sale or import of the resulting Product in or into a particular country would infringe, but for a license, the same Valid Claim of Patent Right(s) in the country where such manufacture, use, Sale or import occurs as such combined Product, (iii) such Combination Product Component provides a function that is in addition to or supplementary to the function for which such Licensed Product is Sold on its own and (iv) the market price of such combined Product is higher than the market price for such Licensed Product as a result of such combined Product containing or using such Combination Product Component.
1.4“Compound” means Pterostilbene.
1.5“Earned Royalty” or “Earned Royalties” means the Sublicensee Royalties (as defined in Paragraph 7.2) and Royalties (as defined in Paragraph 8.1).
1.6“Field of Use” means the use of Pterostilbene to induce UDP - Glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) Activity.
1.7“Joint Venture” means any separate entity established pursuant to an agreement between a third party and the Licensee and/or Sublicensee to constitute a vehicle for a joint venture, in which the separate entity manufactures, uses, purchases, Sells or acquires Licensed Products from the Licensee or Sublicensee.

1.8“Licensed Method” means any process, art or method the use or practice of which, but for the license granted in this Agreement, would infringe, or contribute to, or induce the infringement of, any Patent Rights in any country were they issued at the time of the infringing activity in that country.
1.9“Licensed Product” means any Product, including, without limitation, a Product explicitly directed for use or used in practicing a Licensed Method and any Product made by practicing a Licensed Method, the manufacture, use, Sale, offer for Sale or import of which, but for the license granted in this Agreement, would infringe, or contribute to, or induce the infringement of, a Valid Claim of any Patent Rights in any country were they issued at the time of the infringing activity in that country.
1.10“Modifications” means substances created by the Licensee which contain or incorporate the Original Materials, Progeny and/or Unmodified Derivatives.
1.11“Net Invoice Price” means the gross invoice price of a (a) Licensed Product and (b) a Product that combines a Licensed Product in any manner with any other Product (but subject to the adjustments for Net Sales of Combination Products set forth below), charged by the Licensee, any Affiliate of the Licensee or any Sublicensee, to a Third Party, including to distributors and end-users, less the following items, but only to the extent that they actually pertain to the disposition of such Licensed Product, are actually incurred, and are identified separately on a bill, invoice or other appropriate documentation:
1.11.1Credits or allowances actually granted to customers for rejections, returns, prompt payment, volume and other trade discounts, retroactive price reductions or billing corrections;
1.11.2Freight, transport, packing and insurance charges associated with transportation;

If a Licensed Product or Combination Product is sold, or otherwise commercially disposed of for value (including, without limitation, disposition in connection with the delivery of other products or services), in a transaction that is not a sale for cash to an independent Third Party, then the gross invoiced price in such transaction shall be deemed to be the gross amount that would have been paid had there been such a sale at the average sale price of such Licensed Product or Combination Product during the applicable royalty reporting period.
1.12“Net Sale” means:
1.12.1except in the instances described in Paragraphs 1.12.2 and 1.12.3 of this Paragraph, the Net Invoice Price;
1.12.2for any Relationship-Influenced Sale of a Licensed Product, Net Sales shall be based only on the Net Invoice Price at which the Relationship-Influenced Sale Purchaser re-Sells such Licensed Product to a Third Party (and the Relationship-Influenced Sale itself shall not be deemed a Sale); and






									
	258457997 v1
	

	4


 






1.12.3in those instances where Licensed Product is not Sold, but is otherwise commercially exploited by the Licensee, an Affiliate of the Licensee, or a Sublicensee, the Net Sales for such Licensed Product shall be the Net Invoice Price of such Licensed Product Sold to Third Parties in similar quantities by the Licensee, an Affiliate of the Licensee or a Sublicensee, as applicable.
For a Combination Product, Net Sales shall be calculated, on a country-by-country basis, as:
A/(A+B) x Net Sales, calculated without regard to this formula, of the Licensed Product that is the Combination Product,
Where:
(i)“A” is the total of Net Sales of each Licensed Product contained within or used in the Combination Product when Sold separately; and
(ii)“B” is the total of Net Sales of all Combination Product Components contained within or used in the Combination Product when Sold separately,
Provided, however, that if the Licensed Product is sold separately in finished form in such country but the Combination Product Components in the Combination Product are not sold separately in finished form in such country, Net Sales shall be calculated as C/(C+D) x Net Sales, calculated without regard to this formula, of the Licensed Product that is the Cornbination Product,
Where:
(iii)“C” is the total of Net Sales of each Licensed Product contained within or used in the Combination Product when Sold separately; and
(iv)“D” is the difference between the Nets Sales of the Combination Product and the Net Sales of the Licensed Product when sold separately,
Provided, further, that if the Combination Product Components in the Combination Product are sold separately in finished form in such country but the Licensed Product is not sold separately in finished forrn in such country, Net Sales shall be calculated as 1 - C/(C+D) x Net Sales, calculated without regard to this formula, of the Licensed Product that is the Combination Product.
Where:
(v)“C” is the total of Net Sales of the Combination Product Components contained within or used in the Combination Product when Sold separately; and
(vi)“D” is the difference between the Nets Sales of the Combination Product and the Net Sales of the Combination Product Components when sold separately.
Provided, further, that if neither the Licensed Product nor the Combination Product Components are sold separately in finished form in such country, Net Sales of the Combination Product shall be determined by the Parties in good faith based on the relative fully allocated costs of goods for the Licensed Product and each Combination Product Component, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Sales shall not include distribution without consideration of reasonable quantities of Licensed Products to a Third Party for use in any research, testing, clinical trials, or promotional offers, or for humanitarian purposes, including without limitation, expanded access programs or charitable donations.

ARTICLE 2.GRANT
2.1Subject to the limitations and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement including the license granted to the United States Government described in the Background and in Paragraph 2.3, The Regents grants to the Licensee and its Affiliates a worldwide license under its rights in and to Patent Rights and Technical Information to research, develop, make, have made, use, Sell, offer for Sale and import Licensed Products and to practice Licensed Methods, only in the Field of Use.
2.2Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the license granted under Patent Rights in Paragraph 2.1 is exclusive and the license granted under the Technical Information in Paragraph 2.1 is non-exclusive.
2.3The license granted in Paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 is subject to the obligations to the United States Government under 35 U.S.C. §§ 200-212 and all applicable governmental implementing regulations, as amended from time to time.
2.4The license granted in Paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 is limited to methods and products that are used or useful within the Field of Use. For methods and products that have no use within the Field of Use, the Licensee has no license under this Agreement.
2.5Subject to the rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement, the Regents reserves and retains the right (and the rights granted to the Licensee in this Agreement shall be subject to such right) to make and use, and to allow other educational and nonprofit institutions the right to make and use, the subject matter described and claimed in the Patent Rights for educational and research purposes, including publication and other communication of any research results related to such use, subject to Section 31.6 hereof.
2.6Because one or more of the inventions set forth in the Patent Rights may have been made under funding provided by the United States Government, any Licensed Products that embody any such invention and are sold in the United States will be substantially manufactured in the United States unless a waiver of such manufacturing requirement is obtained from the funding agency for the Patent Rights, which waiver The Regents may apply for in cooperation with the Licensee or a Sublicensee if the Licensee or Sublicensee, as applicable, so requests and meets the statutory criteria therefor.
2.7This Agreement will terminate immediately if a claim which includes, in any way, the assertion that any portion of Patent Rights is invalid or unenforceable is filed by the Licensee or an Affiliate of the Licensee, or by any Third Party, including a Sublicensee, at the express written request of the Licensee.
2.8If at any time after the Effective Date the Regents, through the Licensing Officer of the Office of Technology Alliances responsible for the administration of this matter, learn that the Regents have come to own or control any developments, inventions or discoveries that are New Developments or otherwise pertain or relate to Compounds, but are not otherwise included within the Patent Rights and are not covered by any obligations to Third Parties (in each case, a “Covered Invention”), then The Regents will promptly notify the Licensee in writing of the existence and nature of such Covered Inventions in reasonable detail (an -Option Notice”) and, to the extent permitted by law, the Licensee shall thereafter have an exclusive option to negotiate an exclusive license under the Regents’ rights to the Covered Invention(s) within the Field of Use, which option the Licensee may exercise by 






									
	258457997 v1
	

	7


 






providing written notice to the Regents (the “Exercise Notice”) within [...*...] ([...*...]) days after its receipt of the Option Notice. If the Licensee provides The Regents with an Exercise Notice within such [...*...] ([...*...]) day period, then the Licensee and The Regents shall thereafter exercise commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement governing the terms of the exclusive license to the Covered Inventions within [...*...] ([...*...]) days following The Regents’ receipt of the Exercise Notice. The economic terms of any license with respect to any patent rights claiming the Covered Inventions shall he materially similar to the terms of this Agreement (i.e., there shall be no kind of payment obligation under such license in addition to the kinds of payment obligations that are included under this Agreement and the percentages or amounts of payment obligations under such license shall not exceed any corresponding payment obligations under this Agreement). If Licensee fails to contact the Regents within [...*...] days after receipt of the Election Notice, or if the parties do not enter into an agreement within [...*...] days following the Regents’ receipt of the Election Notice, Licensee shall have no rights in New Developments and the Regents may dispose of those rights in its sole discretion.
2.9Licensee may fully reference, rely on, submit and/or have transferred to it any investigational drug applications (IND) prepared by The Regents and covering Licensed Products and any and all know-how and data relating to the Licensed Product. The Regents agrees to cooperate with any effort by the Licensee to file any regulatory documents including but not limited to a Licensee-sponsored IND covering the Licensed Products and to cooperate in any effort by or on behalf of the Licensee to obtain marketing exclusivity for the Licensed Products.

ARTICLE 3.SUBLICENSES
3.1The Regents also grants to the Licensee the right to sublicense to Third Parties (including to Joint Ventures) the rights granted to the Licensee hereunder, with the right to further sublicense, as long as the Licensee has current rights thereto under this Agreement and provided that the Licensee shall remain responsible for its obligations hereunder notwithstanding the granting of a sublicense. Each Sublicensee must be subject to a written sublicense agreement, which must be consistent with and subject to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the obligations of Sublicensees and the rights of The Regents (and, if applicable, the United States Government and other sponsors). Also, for the avoidance of doubt, the Licensee may extend its rights and obligations hereunder to Affiliates without a sublicense arrangement as set forth in section 2.1, provided that the Licensee shall guarantee the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement of any of its Affiliates. The Licensee will notify The Regents of each sublicense granted hereunder and will provide The Regents with a complete copy of each sublicense (along with a summary of the material terms of each such sublicense) and each amendment to such sublicense within [...*...] ([...*...]) days of issuance of such sublicense or such amendment (all of which shall constitute the Proprietary Information of the Licensee). Notwithstanding the granting of a sublicense, the Licensee will continue to be obligated to pay to The Regents all fees, payments, royalties and the cash equivalent of any consideration due The Regents hereunder. For clarity, if the Licensee grants a sublicense that contains a provision for payment of royalties by any Sublicensee in an amount that is less than the Sublicensee Royalty required to be paid under Paragraph 7.2 below, then the Licensee will pay to The Regents a total amount equal to the Sublicensee Royalty based on the Sublicensees’ Net Sales as provided for in Paragraph 7.1.2. The Licensee will require Sublicensees to provide it with copies of all progress reports and royalty reports in accordance with the provisions herein and the Licensee will collect and deliver all such reports due The Regents from Sublicensees (all of which shall constitute the Proprietary Information of the Licensee). Licensee will also provide to The Regents a yearly reporting of any further sublicensing of Patent Rights by its Sublicensees, Affiliates and Joint Ventures.
3.2If Licensee licenses patent rights assigned to or otherwise acquired by it (“Licensee’s Patent Rights”), and it believes, in good faith, that the recipient of such license will infringe Patent Rights in practicing the Licensee’s Patent Rights, then the Licensee will not separately grant a license to such recipient under Licensee’s Patent Rights without concurrently granting a sublicense under Patent Rights on the terms required under this Agreement.
3.3Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all sublicenses shall survive, provided that (a) such Sublicensee is not in breach of the relevant sublicense, (b) such Sublicensee will continue to make all reports and payments due and owing under its sublicense to The Regents, and (c) The Regents will not be bound by any grant of rights broader than or will not be required to perform any obligation other than those rights and obligations contained in this Agreement. Moreover, The Regents will have the sole right to modify each such 






									
	258457997 v1

assigned sublicense to include all of the rights of The Regents (and, if applicable, the United States Government and other sponsors) that are contained in this Agreement, including the payment of Earned Royalties directly to The Regents by the Sublicensee as if it were the Licensee at a rate that is no lower than the rate set forth in Article 8 (Earned Royalties and Minimum Annual Royalties) in accordance with Article 4 (Payment Terms).

ARTICLE 4.PAYMENT TERMS
4.1Earned Royalties will accrue, on a country-by-country, and Licensed Product-by - Licensed Product basis, for the duration of the last Valid Claim of Patent Rights (whether or not an issued Valid Claim) in such country that claims such Licensed Product.
4.2The Licensee will pay to The Regents all Earned Royalties, Sublicense Fees and other consideration payable to The Regents quarterly on or before [...*...] (for the calendar quarter ending December 31), [...*...] (for the calendar quarter ending March 31), [...*...] (for the calendar quarter ending June 30) and [...*...] (for the calendar quarter ending September 30) of each calendar year. Each payment will be for Earned Royalties, Sublicense Fees and other consideration which has accrued within the Licensee’s most recently completed calendar quarter.
4.3All consideration due The Regents will be payable and will be made in United States dollars by check payable to “The Regents of the University of California” or by wire transfer to an account designated by The Regents. The Licensee is responsible for all bank or other transfer charges. When Licensed Products are Sold for monies other than United States dollars, the Earned Royalties and other consideration will first be determined in the foreign currency of the country in which such Licensed Products were Sold and then converted into equivalent United States dollars. The exchange rate will be the average exchange rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal during the last thirty (30) days of the reporting period. Sublicensee Fees and Earned Royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Products and other consideration accrued in any country outside the United States may not be reduced by any taxes, fees or other charges imposed by the government of such country, except those taxes, fees and charges allowed under the provisions of Paragraph 1.12 (Net Sales) or Section 4.4 below.
4.4In the event that (1) a Sublicensee is required to withhold any tax to the tax or revenue authorities in any country other than the United States from payments to Licensee that constitute royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Product due to the laws of such country and (2) the applicable Sublicense Agreement permits the Sublicensee to deduct such withheld amount from royalties otherwise payable to Licensee (the “Deducted Amount”), then Licensee may deduct a portion of such Deducted Amount from the Sublicensee Royalties to be paid by the Licensee to The Regents hereunder, such Deducted Amount not to exceed [...*...]% of Net Sales. The portion of the Deducted Amount that may be deductible by Licensee hereunder shall equal the Deducted Amount times a fraction, the numerator of which is the Deducted Amount and the denominator of which is the amount that would be payable by the Sublicensee to Licensee if the Deducted Amount were not withheld. For purposes of illustration, if the Net Sales of Licensed Products by a Sublicensee equaled $1,000,000 in a calendar quarter pursuant to a Sublicense Agreement with a [...*...]% royalty that permitted withholding as set forth above, and the Sublicensee deducted $[...*...] from the $[...*...] otherwise payable to Licensee as royalties (i.e., because the applicable law required 20% withholding), then Licensee would be entitled to deduct $[...*...] from the $[...*...] otherwise payable to The Regents hereunder as Sublicensee Royalties (i.e., [...*...]% of the Deducted Amount).
4.5Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 27 (Force Majeure) if at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of Earned Royalties or other consideration owed to the Licensee by a Sublicensee, or to The Regents by the Licensee, with respect to any country where a sublicense is issued or a Licensed Product is Sold or otherwise exploited, then the Licensee shall convert the amount owed to The Regents into United States dollars and will pay The Regents directly from another source of funds in order to remit the entire amount owed to The Regents.

4.6In the event that any patent or claim thereof included within the Patent Rights is held invalid in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from which no appeal has or can be taken, then all obligation to pay royalties based on that patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct therefrom will cease as of the date of final decision.

Subject to the terms hereof, the Licensee acknowledges that the Regents’ counsel will take instructions only from The Regents. The Regents will provide the Licensee with copies of all relevant documentation and correspondence, or drafts thereof, pertaining to the filing, prosecution, or maintenance of all Patent Rights, including but not limited to each patent application, office action, response to office action, request for terminal disclaimer, and request for reissue or reexamination of any patent issuing from such application to the Licensee as follows: Documents and correspondence received from any patent office, and counsel’s analysis thereof, shall be provided promptly after receipt.

So long as Licensee complies with its obligations hereunder, The Regents shall make reasonable efforts to comply with any written notice by Licensee under this Section 20.5.

19.6The Licensee will be obligated to pay any Patent Prosecution Costs incurred during the [...*...] ([...*...])-month period after receipt by either party of a Notice of Termination, even if the invoices for such Patent Prosecution Costs arc received by the Licensee after the end of the [...*...] ([...*...])-month period following receipt of a Notice of Termination. The Licensee may terminate its obligation to pay Patent Prosecution Costs with respect to any given patent application or patent under Patent Rights in any or all designated countries upon [...*...] ([...*...])- months’ written notice to The Regents. The Regents may continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such application(s) or patent(s) at its sole discretion and expense, provided, however, that the Licensee will have no further right or licenses thereunder.

During the period in which, and in the jurisdiction where, the Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement, neither The Regents 






									
	258457997 v1
	

	18


 






nor the Licensee will, during a period of [...*...] ([...*...]) days after an Infringement Notice, notify a possible infringer of infringement or put such infringer on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights without first obtaining consent of the other. If either Party puts such infringer on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights with respect to such infringement without first obtaining the written consent of the other Party during such [...*...] ([...*...]) day period, and if a declaratory judgment action is filed by such infringer against The Regents, then the Party that put such infringer on notice shall lose its right to initiate a suit against such infringer for infringement under Paragraph 22.2 or 22.3 below, as applicable, immediately without the obligation of notice. Both The Regents and the Licensee will use their diligent efforts to cooperate with each other and to terminate such infringement without litigation if reasonably possible unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Regents and the Licensee. In the event that the infringement involves rights under 35 U.S.C. §154 as relating to a Valid Claim which is not an issued Valid Claim, the Regents and Licensee shall cooperate in issuing the proper notice of such rights to the infringer.
21.2If infringing activity by the infringer has not been abated within [...*...] ([...*...]) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, then the Licensee may commence and control a suit for patent infringement against the infringer and control a defense against a declaratory judgment action. To the extent required by law (i.e. in order for the Licensee to have standing in a court of competent jurisdiction), The Regents agree to be joined as a party to an action under this Section 22.1 if the Licensee so requests and if approved by the UC Board of Regents; provided that the Licensee agrees to reimburse The Regents for any and all expenses of litigation (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by The Regents in connection with such action. Additionally, the Regents may voluntarily join such suit at its own expense, but may not otherwise confluence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of the Licensee’s suit or any judgment rendered in that suit. The Licensee may not join The Regents as a party in a suit initiated by the Licensee without the Regents’ prior written consent, such consent subject to the approval of the UC Board of Regents.
