 WHEREAS, Cobalt Biomedicine, Inc., having since been acquired by Licensee, and The Regents executed a Letter of Intent (UC [***])
with an effective date of April 2, 2018; 
 WHEREAS, Licensee is a “small business concern” as defined in 15 U.S.C. §§632;

 WHEREAS, The Regents wishes that Regents’ Patent Rights be developed and utilized to the fullest extent so that the benefits can be enjoyed by the
general public. 
 The parties agree as follows: 

1. DEFINITIONS 
  

	1.1	 “Affiliate” means any business entity in which Licensee owns or controls, directly or
indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding stock or other voting rights entitled to elect directors. In any country where the local law does not permit foreign equity participation of at least fifty percent (50%), then
“Affiliate” means any business entity in which Licensee owns or controls, directly or indirectly, the maximum percentage of outstanding stock or voting rights that is permitted by local law. 



 

	1.2	 “Approval” means any approvals (including the approval by an applicable governmental authority
in certain countries or territories with respect to the price at which a pharmaceutical product is sold and can be reimbursed by healthcare insurers), licenses, registrations or authorizations of any national, supra-national, regional, state or
local regulatory agency, department, bureau, commission, council or other governmental entity, necessary for the marketing and sale of a pharmaceutical product in a given regulatory jurisdiction. 



  
 1 















	1.3	 “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following after the
Effective Date: 


  

	 	(a)	 the sale to a third party of all or substantially all of the Licensee’s assets or business relating to
this Agreement; 


  

	 	(b)	 the merger, consolidation or sale of the Licensee or substantially all of the Licensee’s assets or similar
transaction or series of transactions with or to a non-Affiliate third party, as a result of which the Licensee’s shareholders before such transaction or series of transactions own less than fifty percent
(50%) of the total number of voting securities of the surviving entity immediately after such transaction or series of transactions; or 


  

	 	(c)	 the assignment by the Licensee of this Agreement to any non-Affiliate
third party. 


  

	1.4	 “Clinical Trial Failure Delay” means a delay in the completion of a Development Milestone that
is directly caused by (i) failure to meet one or more endpoints in a clinical trial of a Licensed Product despite Licensee’s or its Sublicensee’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the applicable clinical trial in a
manner designed to assess such endpoint(s), or (ii) issues with patient enrollment (including delays in recruitment) despite Licensee’s or its Sublicensee’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to achieve such enrollment or
recruitment. 


  

	1.5	 “Customer” means any individual or entity that receives Licensed Products, provided however,
that Licensee, Affiliate or Sublicensee shall be deemed a Customer only if it receives Licensed Products that are not intended for further sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition other than Customer’s own end-use. 


  

	1.6	 “Development Issue” has the meaning given in Section 6.4 of this Agreement.



  

	1.7	 “EMA” means the European Medicines Agency. 



 

	1.8	 “End User Product” means a Licensed Product that is administered directly to a patient

	1.10	 “Final Sale” means any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition or provision of a
Licensed Product to a Customer by Licensee, its Affiliate or a Sublicensee. A Final Sale will be deemed to have occurred upon the earliest to occur of the following (as applicable): (a) the transfer of title to such Licensed Product to a
Customer, (b) the shipment of such Licensed Product to a Customer, (c) (d) the provision of an invoice for such Licensed Product to a Customer, or (e) payment by the Customer for Licensed Products. Exchange of Licensed Products
between Licensee and a Sublicensee or Affiliate is not a Final Sale if the Licensed Product is intended for further sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition, in which case the Final Sale will be deemed to have occurred upon sale,
transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition or provision of Licensed Product by Licensee or Sublicensee or Affiliate to a Customer. If Licensee, Affiliate or a Sublicensee transfers Licensed Product at no or below cost solely for use in, or for
purposes of, a clinical study, clinical trial, individual named patient programs (e.g. compassionate use) or, at no cost as a free sample in product promotion, then such transfers will not be considered a Final Sale and no royalty will be owed
hereunder. 


  

	1.11	 “First Commercial Sale” means the first sale of any Licensed Product by Licensee or a
Sublicensee, following Approval of its marketing by the appropriate governmental agency for the country in which the sale is to be made. When Approval is not required, “First Commercial Sale” means the first sale in that country.




  
 2 















	1.12	 “License” has the meaning given in Section 2.1 of this Agreement. 



 

	1.13	 “Licensed Method” means any process, or method that utilizes or that is covered by a Valid

Patent Rights. 


  

	1.14	 “Licensed Product” means any article, composition, apparatus, substance, chemical, or any
other material that is covered by a Valid Claim within Regents’ Patent Rights or whose manufacture, import use, offer for sale, or sale would, absent the license granted under this Agreement, constitute an infringement, inducement of
infringement or contributory infringement of any Valid Claim within Regents’ Patent Rights, or any article, composition, apparatus, chemical, substance or any other material made, used or sold by or utilizing or practicing a Licensed Method.



  

	1.15	 “Milestone Payments” has the meaning given in Section 4.2 of this Agreement.



  

	1.16	 “Minimum Annual Royalty” has the meaning set forth in Section 5.4 of this
Agreement. 


  

	1.17	 “Net Sales” means the total of the gross amount received (whether consisting of cash or any
other forms of consideration) for all Final Sales, less the following deductions (to the extent included in and not already deducted from the gross amount received) to the extent reasonable and customary: [***]. Such amounts shall be
determined from the books and records of Licensee, maintained, as applicable, in accordance with US GAAP. Income taxes are not an allowed deduction under Net Sales. 



 

	1.18	 “Patent Action” means the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent
applications and patents in Regents’ Patent Rights. Prosecution includes, but is not limited to, reexaminations, interferences, oppositions, and any other ex parte or inter partes matters originating in a patent office. Patent Action also

	1.19	 “Patent Costs” means all
out-of-pocket costs incurred by The Regents for Patent Actions. 


  

	1.20	 “Phase I Trial” will mean a human clinical trial of a Licensed Product in a human subject the
purpose of which is preliminary determination of safety and tolerability of a dosing regimen, as required in 21 C.F.R. § 312.21(a), or any equivalent clinical study in a country other than the United States. 



 

	1.21	 “Phase II Trial” will mean a human clinical trial of a Licensed Product, for which the primary
endpoints include a determination of dose ranges and/or a preliminary determination of efficacy in patients being studied as required by 21 C.F. R. § 312.21 (b), or any equivalent clinical study in a country other than the United States.



  

	1.22	 “Phase III Trial” will mean a human clinical trial of a Licensed Product on a sufficient
number of subjects that is designed to establish that a pharmaceutical product is safe and efficacious for its intended use, and to determine warnings, precautions, and adverse reactions that are associated with such pharmaceutical product in the
dosage range to be prescribed, which trial is intended to support Approval of a Licensed Product, as described in 21 C.F.R. 312.21(c) for the United States or any equivalent clinical study in a country other than the United States.




  
 3 















	1.23	 “Regents’ Patent Rights” means The Regents’ interest in any of the
patent applications and patents listed in Appendix A (REGENTS’ PATENT RIGHTS) attached to this Agreement ([***]); any continuing applications thereof including divisions; but excluding continuations-in-part except to the extent of claims entirely supported in the specification and entitled to the priority date of the parent application; any patents issuing on these applications including
reissues, substitutions, and patent extensions; and any corresponding foreign patents, patent applications and supplemental protection certificates; all of which will be automatically incorporated in and added to Appendix A and made a part of this
Agreement. 


  

	1.24	 “Regulatory Delay” means a delay in the completion of a clinical stage Diligence
Milestone that results from the FDA either (a) putting a clinical hold on one or more classes of Licensed Products that Licensee or a Sublicensee is developing pursuant to this Agreement, (b) requiring additional data related to the
Licensed Product that Licensee or a Sublicensee is developing pursuant to this Agreement based on FDA guidelines or regulations and such guidelines or regulations were only implemented after initiation of a human clinical trial for such Licensed
Product or (c) determining that there is a potential safety risk associated with such Licensed Product; provided, however, that with respect to (a)-(c) (i) such delay is not primarily due to Licensee’s actions or inactions that were
counter to the guidance provided to Licensee or otherwise published by the FDA, and (ii) such delay is not primarily due to Licensee’s failure to provide data to the FDA in a form, amount and quality commonly used in the pharmaceutical
industry or to undertake preclinical and clinical development in a form and of a quality that would be commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. 


  

	1.25	 “Sublicense” has the meaning given in Section 3.1 of this Agreement.



  

	1.26	 “Sublicensee” means any person or entity to which a Sublicense is granted other than an
Affiliate. For clarity, if Licensee desires to enable any joint venture (other than a joint venture that constitutes an Affiliate) to use or have any other right or license to the Regents’ Patent Rights, then Licensee must grant such joint
venture a Sublicense. 


  

	1.27	 “Sublicensing Income” means consideration (whether cash or any other type of consideration)
received by Licensee or Sublicensee in consideration for a Sublicense (as defined below in Section 3.1). Sublicensing Income includes consideration received from Sublicensees in consideration for a Sublicense in the form of license issue fees
and milestone payments, but specifically excludes royalties on the sale or distribution of Licensed Products (solely to the extent such royalties are accounted for in the amounts paid to The Regents pursuant to Section 5.1). Not included in the
definition of Sublicensing Income is [***]. In addition, to the extent that a payment is made under a sublicense agreement that grants both a sublicense under the Regents’ Patent Rights and a license or sublicense under intellectual property
rights, products, services, methods or materials not licensed to Licensee under this Agreement, then a pro rata portion of such payment will be considered Sublicensing Income which pro rata portion will be calculated jointly by the parties upon
request by Licensee based on the relative value of the Regents’ Patent Rights as compared to the other intellectual property rights and material licensed or sublicensed by Licensee under such sublicense agreement in consideration for which such
payment was made. Licensee will provide The Regents with written justification for a proposed calculation of the Sublicensing Income and the parties will discuss such calculation in good faith. 



 

	1.28	 “Territory” means all countries of the world in which Regents’ Patents Rights have or
will be filed. 


  

	1.29	 “Valid Claim” means (i) a claim of an issued patent that has not expired or
been held unenforceable or invalid by a final judgment or decision of a court or other government agency of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal has been or can be taken, and which has not been admitted to be invalid or unenforceable through
reissue, disclaimer or the like, or (ii) a claim of a pending patent application that has not been pending longer than [***] years from the date of receipt of the first substantive office action received with respect to such claim and has not
been abandoned or finally rejected without the possibility of appeal or re-filing. For purposes of clarity, both (i) and (ii) are Valid Claims for purposes of this Agreement.

 2. GRANT 
  

	2.1	 Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, The Regents hereby grants to Licensee an exclusive
license (the “License”) under Regents’ Patent Rights in the Territory, (i) to research, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, have sold and import Licensed Products, and (ii) to practice Licensed Methods, in the
Field of Use to the extent permitted by law, provided that the scope of Licensee’s license to practice Licensed Methods pursuant to this subpart (ii) is solely for the purposes of researching, manufacturing, and using Licensed Products
pursuant to the foregoing subpart (i) of Licensee’s License (for abundance of clarity, while Licensee has a right to use the Licensed Methods to research, make, and use End User Products, Licensee has no right to use the Licensed Methods
to perform services for a fee or other consideration (or to sublicense any of the foregoing) without first negotiating with The Regents to remove or modify the restriction in subpart (ii)). 



So long as Licensee’s License pursuant to this Section 2.1 remains exclusive, The Regents agrees not to grant any rights under
Regents’ Patent Rights regarding Licensed Methods to third parties (except as permitted under Sections 2.2 and 2.3 below) without first offering Licensee a reasonable opportunity to remove the restrictions regarding Licensed Methods set forth
above. 
 The licenses granted to Licensee may be extended by Licensee to one or more of its Affiliates at Licensee’s sole discretion,
in which case rights and obligation of Licensee in this Agreement will apply to such Affiliates, but only during the period such entity satisfies the definition of Affiliate. As a licensee of Regents’ Patent Rights under this Agreement,
Affiliates shall have all of the same rights and obligations, financial and otherwise, that Licensee has under this Agreement. Acts of an Affiliate are considered to be those of Licensee under this Agreement and Licensee is responsible for all such
acts. Licensee is also responsible and liable for all obligations of Affiliates due to The Regents under this Agreement, including without limitation payment to The Regents of royalties or other consideration due to The Regents hereunder. 

 

	2.2	 Each of The Regents and Licensee recognize the License encompasses the right under the Regents’ Patent
Rights to research, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, have sold and import Licensed Products other than End User Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee will not commercialize, or permit a Sublicensee to commercialize, any
Licensed Product that is not an End User Product without first negotiating with The Regents for possible development milestones to be achieved and royalties or other payments applicable to such Licensed Products. Such negotiations will be conducted
by the parties in a timely manner and in good faith. Licensee and The Regents will reflect the outcome of such negotiations in a mutually agreed written amendment to this Agreement. 



 

	2.3	 The License is subject to all the applicable provisions of any license to the United States Government executed
by The Regents and is subject to Title 17, § 100610 of the California Code of Regulations, obligations to the United States Federal Government under 35 U.S.C. §§200-212, applicable governmental
implementing regulations, and the U.S. Government sponsored research agreement or other guidelines. If CIRM exercises its rights under § 100610 and, as a result, the scope of Licensee’s exclusive license to the Regents’ Patent Rights
is impacted, The Regents agree that Licensee’s financial obligations under Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement will be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%). 



  
 5 















	2.4	 The Regents expressly reserves the right to: (a) use Regents’ Patent Rights for educational and
research purposes and research sponsored by commercial entities, (b) publicly disclose research results, (c) use Regents’ Patent Rights to offer and perform clinical diagnostic and prognostic care, as well as perform
investigator-initiated clinical trials, in all cases in this subpart (c) solely within the University of California system, and (d) allow other non-profit and academic institutions to use
Regents’ Patent Rights for the same purposes as subparts (a) and (b). For clarity, no rights to Regents’ Patent Rights within the Field of Use may be granted to any commercial entities and this provision does not:



  

	 	(a)	 provide The Regents with any right to use any information or data that is owned by Licensee, its Affiliates or
Sublicensees; 


  

	 	(b)	 restrict any rights that Licensee may otherwise have to attempt to sell its product or services to any part of
the University of California; 


  

	 	(c)	 create an obligation for Licensee to supply products to services to the University of California for no charge
or for a below-market charge; or 


  

	 	(d)	 provide The Regents with any right to provide Licensed Products to any commercial third-party entity other than
in the context of The Regents’ educational and research activities. 


  

	2.5	 If Licensee or a Sublicensee, itself or through a third party, institutes any proceeding that challenges the
validity of any Regents’ Patent Rights during the term of this Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay to The Regents, directly and not into any escrow or other account, all royalties and other amounts due in view of Licensee’s and its
Sublicensees’ activities under the Agreement during the period of challenge. Should the outcome of such contest determine that any challenged patent claim is valid, Licensee (or its Sublicensee, as applicable) will thereafter, and for the
remaining term of this Agreement, pay a royalty rate of [***] [***] specified above and all of The Regents’ legal (including attorney) verifiable out-of-pocket fees
and costs incurred defending such proceeding. 


 3. SUBLICENSES 

 

	3.1	 The Regents grants to Licensee the right to sublicense the rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement,
which includes the right to negotiate or obtain such a sublicense (each a “Sublicense”), provided that the initial grantee under a Sublicense (i.e. granted by Licensee) may it or themselves grant further sublicenses only to one
other third party (and such other third party will not have the right to grant further sublicenses without the prior written approval of The Regents, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). All Sublicenses will:
(i) be issued in writing, and (ii) to the extent applicable include all of the rights of The Regents and require the performance of obligations due to The Regents (and, if applicable, the U.S. Government under 35 U.S. C. §§201-212) contained in this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, operations of Sublicensees in relation to the Regents’ Patent Rights and Licensed Products during the term of any such
Sublicense are deemed to be the operations of Licensee, for which Licensee is responsible. 


  

	3.2	 Licensee must pay to The Regents the percentage of Sublicensing Income it receives as set forth in the table
below. Licensee must pay such Sublicensing Income to The Regents on or before the following dates: 


  

	 	•	 	 March 31 (for Sublicensing Income received by Licensee on or before the last day of the calendar quarter
ending December 31 of the prior year); 


  

	 	•	 	 June 30 (for Sublicensing Income received by Licensee on or before the last day of the calendar quarter
ending March 31); 


  

	 	•	 	 September 30 (for Sublicensing Income received by Licensee on or before the last day of the calendar quarter
ending June 30); and 


  

	 	•	 	 December 31 (for Sublicensing Income received by Licensee on or before the last day of the calendar quarter
ending September 30). 



  
 6 














 [***] 
  

	3.3	 Licensee must provide to The Regents a copy of each Sublicense within [***] days of execution, which may be
redacted except regarding matters related to Regents’ Patent Rights (including to the extent necessary to determine the consideration owed to The Regents) under this Agreement. Licensee is prohibited from entering into an agreement with a
Sublicensee or other entity (e.g., Affiliate or non-Affiliate joint venture) where the terms of such agreement intentionally reduce, divert, conceals or misrepresents the amount of consideration paid to the
Licensee as consideration for a Sublicense. 


  

	3.4	 Licensee will require that each Sublicensee provide Licensee with reports that are sufficiently detailed to
establish all amounts due to The Regents under this Agreement. Licensee will provide a copy of all such information submitted to Licensee by Sublicensees relevant to the computation of the payments due to The Regents under this Agreement within
[***] days after receipt of such information from such Sublicensee. All disclosures of information to The Regents under this Section 3.4 are subject to the confidentiality obligations in Section 30 of this Agreement. 



 

	3.5	 If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, to the extent The Regents is legally able and not otherwise
contractually obligated, The Regents agree to enter into a license agreement for Regents’ Patent Rights directly with each Sublicensee then in compliance with its obligations under a Sublicense, provided in all cases the obligations of The
Regents under such license agreement with a Sublicensee will not be greater than the obligations of The Regents under this Agreement, and the rights of The Regents under such license agreement with a Sublicensee will not be less than the rights of
The Regents under this Agreement, including all financial consideration and other rights of The Regents. The Regents may, at The Regents’ sole discretion, amend such outstanding Sublicenses to contain the terms and conditions found in this
Agreement. 


 4. FEES 
  

	4.1	 In partial consideration for the License, Licensee will pay to The Regents a license issue fee of [***]
within [***] days of the Effective Date. This fee is non-refundable and is not an advance against royalties. 


  

	4.2	 For each End User Product reaching the milestones indicated below, Licensee will make the following payments
(“Milestone Payments”) to The Regents within [***] of reaching such milestone. For purposes of clarity such Milestone Payments are due from Licensee irrespective of whether the associated milestone listed below was reached by
Licensee itself or a third party acting on Licensee’s behalf or by a Sublicensee. 


 [***] 

 

	4.3	 Licensee will pay to The Regents a license maintenance fee beginning on the
one-year anniversary date of the Effective Date of this Agreement and continuing annually on each anniversary date of the Effective Date until First Commercial Sale. The license maintenance fee for the first
anniversary of the Effective Date will be [***]. The license maintenance fee for each of the nine (9) subsequent anniversaries will increase by [***] per anniversary (to a maximum annual license maintenance fee of [***]). 



The maintenance fee will not be due and payable on any anniversary date of the Effective Date if on that date Licensee is commercially selling
a Licensed Product and paying an Earned Royalty to The Regents on the sales of that Licensed Product. The license maintenance fees are non-refundable and are not an advance against royalties. 

  
 7 














 5. ROYALTIES 

 

	5.1	 Licensee must pay to The Regents for Net Sales by Licensee, Affiliates, and Sublicensees an earned royalty at
the rate of [***] of Net Sales of Licensed Products (“Earned Royalty”). This Earned Royalty will accrue in a country for the duration of the life of Regents’ Patent Rights in such country. 



 

	5.2	 If payment is due to a third party (other than an Affiliate) as royalty in consideration for pending
applications or patent rights owned or controlled by such third party (whether by written agreement or court order) (“Third Party Payment”), without a license to which Licensee, its Affiliate or Sublicensee would reasonably be expected to
infringe such third party patent rights in the manufacture, use, import, offer for sale, or sale of a Licensed Product (“Other Required Patent”), then Licensee will have the right, upon execution of a license with such third party for such
Other Required Patent or the entry of a court order, as applicable, to credit [***] of any Third Party Payment made to such third party in any given year in consideration for such Other Required Patent, against the Earned Royalties due The Regents
under this Agreement, provided that: On an ongoing basis, and in conjunction with reduction of any Earned Royalty due to The Regents under this Agreement for a given calendar quarter, Licensee will submit written evidence to The Regents of the
payment obligations to such third party for such calendar quarter demonstrating that such payment obligation is, in fact, in consideration for an Other Required Patent. 



 

	5.3	 Licensee must pay Earned Royalties owed to The Regents on a quarterly basis. Licensee must pay such Earned
Royalties on or before the following dates: 


  

	 	•	 	 March 31 (for any Final Sales that took place on or before the last day of the calendar quarter ending
December 31 of the prior year); 


  

	 	•	 	 June 30 (for any Final Sales that took place on or before the last day of the calendar quarter ending March
31); 


  

	 	•	 	 September 30 (for any Final Sales that took place on or before the last day of the calendar quarter ending
June 30); and 


  

	 	•	 	 December 31 (for any Final Sales that took place on or before the last day of the calendar quarter ending
September 30). 


  

	5.4	 Licensee must pay to The Regents the following minimum annual royalty of [***] (referred to below as
“Minimum Annual Royalty”) beginning with the first full calendar year after First Commercial Sale and in each of the following calendar years (measured relative to the calendar year in which there was a First Commercial Sale, and
referred to below as “Calendar Year”) for the time period that any royalty under Section 5.1 is due under this Agreement: 



Licensee must pay the Minimum Annual Royalty due for a given Calendar Year to The Regents on or before [***] of such Calendar Year. The Minimum
Annual Royalty due for a given Calendar Year will be credited against the Earned Royalty due and owing with respect to Net Sales made during the Calendar Year in which such Minimum Annual Royalty was paid. By way of example, if FCS took place on
February 1, 2018, the first full Calendar Year be 2019 and the Minimum Annual Royalty would be due on or before [***] and will be credited against any Earned Royalties due during 2020. 

 

	5.5	 All monies due The Regents must be paid in United States funds. With respect to sales of Licensed Products in a
currency other than United States Dollars, the royalties due The Regents will first be determined in the foreign currency of the country in which the Licensed Products were sold and, second, converted into equivalent United States Funds by using the
applicable conversion rates for buying and selling United States dollars for such foreign currency as published by Reuters on the final business day of the quarter in which such sales were made or, as applicable, in accordance with the
Licensee’s worldwide accounting practices.

	5.6	 Any tax for the account of The Regents required to be withheld by Licensee under the laws of any foreign
country must be promptly paid by Licensee for and on behalf of The Regents to the appropriate governmental authority. Licensee will use its best efforts to furnish The Regents with proof of payment of any tax. Licensee is responsible for all bank
transfer charges. All payments made by Licensee in fulfilment of The Regents’ tax liability in any particular country will be credited against fees or royalties due The Regents for Net Sales or other costs in that country.



  

	5.7	 If any patent or any claim included in Regents’ Patent Rights is held invalid or unenforceable in a final
decision by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to pay royalties based on that patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct from it will cease as of the date of that final decision.
Licensee will not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before that decision or that is based on another patent or claim not involved in that decision. 



 

	5.8	 Only to the extent required by law, no royalties will be collected or paid on Licensed Products sold to the
United States Federal Government or any agency of the United States Government. Licensee and its Sublicensee will reduce the amount charged for Licensed Products distributed to the United States Government by the amount of the royalty.



 6. DILIGENCE 
  

	6.1	 Upon execution of this Agreement, Licensee itself, or through its Affiliates or Sublicensees, will use
commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to develop and commercialize a Licensed Product consistent with the efforts of a similarly situated company for a product in a similar therapeutic area with similar market potential. Such effort will be
directed to (a) develop Licensed Products; (b) market Licensed Products; and (c) manufacture and sell Licensed Products in quantities sufficient to meet the market demands for them. For purposes of clarity, the requirements under the
foregoing subsection (b) and (c) shall continue to apply after a First Commercial Sale. 


  

	6.2	 The Regents has the right and option to either terminate this Agreement or reduce Licensee’s exclusive
license to a nonexclusive license if Licensee fails to perform any of the terms in Section 6.1 or this Section 6.2, subject to Sections 6.4 below. This right, if exercised by The Regents, supersedes the rights granted in Article 2 (GRANT).
Licensee will achieve each of the following development milestones (each a “Development Milestone”) with respect to at least one End User Product: 



[***] 
  

	6.3	 Without limiting Licensee’s obligations under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement, Licensee has the
sole discretion for making all decisions as to how to commercialize any Licensed Product. 


  

	6.4	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensee should reasonably believe it may fail to meet the deadline for any
Development Milestone, Licensee shall promptly provide The Regents with notice thereof, which notice shall set forth, as applicable, (i) whether Licensee desires to use a Paid Milestone Extension to extend such deadline pursuant to
Section 6.4.A below, or (ii) whether Licensee desires to request an extension pursuant to Section 6.4.B below on the basis that such failure is attributable to a Regulatory Delay or to a Clinical Trial Failure Delay (in which case
such notice shall include the basis for the Regulatory Delay or Clinical Trial Failure Delay and copies of documents or correspondence from the FDA or EMA that set forth the basis for Licensee’s assertion that such delay or failure should be
excused). If Licensee fails to provide such notice, or provides notice and is granted an extension per Section 6.4.A or B below, as applicable, and thereafter fails to achieve a Development Milestone by the deadline set forth above, or by the
permitted extended deadline, then The Regents has the right and option, at its sole discretion, to either terminate this Agreement or reduce Licensee’s exclusive license to a nonexclusive license, under the terms set forth in Section 12.1.



  

	 	A.	 Licensee may elect to extend any Development Milestone in Section 6.2 above by [***] (with
automatic extension of any subsequent milestones) by payment of [***]. For purposes of clarity, the automatically extended milestones do not trigger any payment requirement, nor does any milestone extended through the process set out in
Section 6.4 above. 



  
 9 















	 	B.	 In addition to the Paid Milestone Extensions, if the completion of any of the Development Milestones set forth
in Section 6.2.D through 6.2.F above is delayed beyond the corresponding deadline set forth in Section 6.2 (taking into account the Paid Milestone Extensions) on account of either a (a) Regulatory Delay or (b) Clinical Trial
Failure Delay (collectively, “Excused Delays”), The Regents shall execute an amendment to this Agreement to extend such Development Milestone and all subsequent Development Milestones shall be extended for a period of time equal to the
duration of the Excused Delays. Any documents and correspondence provided in support of a reason for an Excused Delay shall be treated as Licensee’s confidential information. The duration of any such extension shall be reasonably related to the
cause and effect of the Excused Delay as determined by good faith negotiation between The Regents and Licensee after The Regents has had an opportunity to review all such relevant documentation. In no event will The Regents have any obligation to
allow Licensee to extend such Development Milestone by more than [***] months (in addition to the extensions taken under the Paid Milestone Extensions). 



7. PATENT FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE 
  

	7.1	 Patent Prosecution 



 

	 	7.1a	 [***] Patent Rights will be held in the name of [***]. [***] will diligently prosecute and
maintain [***] Patent Rights using patent counsel of [***] choice to which [***] has no reasonable objection; if [***] demonstrates a reasonable objection to [***] choice of counsel, [***] will provide the
names of three (3) alternative counsel for [***] to choose from to replace [***] counsel. [***] shall control all Patent Actions and all decisions with respect to Patent Actions and will consider and incorporate in good
faith any reasonable comments or suggestions by [***] with respect to Patent Actions. [***] is entitled to take action to preserve rights and minimize costs whether or not [***] has commented, and will use reasonable efforts to
prevent any [***] Patent Rights for which [***] is licensed and is underwriting the costs of to lapse or become abandoned without [***] written authorization under this Article 7, except for the filing of continuations,
divisionals, or the like that substitute for the lapsed application. [***] shall have no requirement to file, prosecute, or maintain [***] Patent Rights if [***] [***]. 



 

	 	7.1b	 [***] will consult with [***] to discuss in good faith a commercially reasonable strategy for the
prosecution and maintenance of [***] Patent Rights consistent with [***] commercial goals and interests. [***] will provide [***], in a timely manner, with copies of each patent application, office action, response to
office action, request for terminal disclaimer, and request for reissue or reexamination of any patent or patent application under [***] Patent Rights. For a document to be filed in any patent office, or correspondence to be sent to any
patent office, [***] will instruct its patent counsel to make best efforts to provide a draft of such document sufficiently prior to its filing, to allow for review and comment by the [***]. 



 

	 	7.1c	 So long as [***] is current with its Patent Costs reimbursement obligations under this Agreement,
[***] may request that [***] obtain [***] Patent Rights in foreign territories, if available and if it so desires and at [***] expense. [***] has the right to request initiation of Patent Actions in such
territories via a written request to [***] (or such shorter period as may be required in the case of emergency filings) prior to the deadline set by the patent office in the applicable territory such Patent Action is to take place in (a
“Patent Prosecution Request”). The absence of a given Patent Prosecution Request with respect to timely initiation of filing of the [***] Patent Rights, or to respond to an office action, in a given jurisdiction by the
applicable deadline will be considered an election not to secure the patent rights in such territory, and such patent application(s) and patent(s) will not be part of [***] Patent Rights and no longer licensed to [***]




  
 10 















	 	
under this Agreement, and [***] will have no further rights or license to them. [***] will have the right to file patent applications at its own expense in any territory which
[***] has not identified in written notice pursuant to this Section 7.1 and such patent application(s) and patent(s) will not be part of [***] Patent Rights and will not be licensed to [***] under this Agreement, and [***]
will have no further rights or license to them. 

  

	7.2	 Past Patent Costs

	7.4	 Termination of Patent Prosecution by Licensee 



Licensee may terminate its obligations with respect to any or all of Regents’ Patent Rights by providing written notice to The Regents
(“Patent Termination Notice”). Termination of Licensee’s obligations with respect to one or more of Regents’ Patent Rights will be effective [***] months after receipt of such Patent Termination Notice by The
Regents. [***]. 
  

	7.5	 Patent Extensions 



 

	 	7.5a	 Licensee will consider in good faith whether to apply for an extension of the term of any patent included
within The Regents’ Patent Rights, if appropriate, under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 and/or European, Japanese and other foreign counterparts to protect any Licensed Product. The Licensee may, in its
discretion, apply for such an extension of the term, if appropriate. If Licensee does elect to pursue a patent term extension, then Licensee shall prepare all documents and The Regents agrees to execute the documents and to take additional action as
Licensee reasonably requests in connection therewith and Licensee will be liable for all costs relating to such application. 


  

	 	7.5b	 If either party (in the case of The Regents, the licensing officer responsible for administration of this
Agreement) receives notice pertaining to the infringement or potential infringement of any issued patent included with Regents’ Patent Rights under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (and/or foreign counterparts
of this law) then that party shall within [***] days notify the other party after receipt of such notice of infringement. 



8. PATENT INFRINGEMENT 
  

	8.1	 In the event that The Regents (to the extent of the actual knowledge of one or more of the Inventors or the
licensing professional or manager responsible for the administration of this Agreement) or Licensee learns of infringement of potential commercial significance of any patent licensed under this Agreement, the knowledgeable party will provide the
other with (i) written notice of such infringement and (ii) evidence of such infringement available to it (the “Infringement Notice”). During the period in which, and in the jurisdiction where, Licensee has exclusive
rights under this Agreement, neither The Regents nor Licensee will notify a third party (including the infringer) of infringement or put such third party on notice of the existence of any Regents’ Patent Rights without first [***]. If Licensee
puts such infringer on notice of the existence of any Regents’ Patent Rights with respect to such infringement without first [***] The Regents and if a declaratory judgment action is filed by such infringer against The Regents, then
Licensee’s right to initiate a suit against such infringer for infringement under Section 8.2 below will terminate immediately without the obligation of The Regents to provide notice to Licensee. Both The Regents and Licensee will use
diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation. 


  

  
 11 















	8.2	 If infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer, as determined in Licensee’s
reasonable judgment, has not been abated within [***] days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, then [***] may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. [***] may not join [***] in a suit initiated by
[***] without [***] prior written consent. [***] may join such suit at its own expense, but may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of [***] suit or any judgment rendered in the suit.
If [***] joins any suit initiated by [***], then [***] will pay any costs incurred by [***] arising out of such suit, including but not limited to, any verifiable
out-of-pocket legal fees of counsel that [***] selects and retains to represent it in the suit. If The Regents refuses to join a suit instituted by Licensee in a country
where required by law or procedure for purposes of having the right to proceed with an infringement action in such country, [***] for so long as the infringement by the third party continues unabated in such country, but only to the extent
that such infringement in such country [***] the business of Licensee relating to the Licensed Products. 


  

	8.3	 If, within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed [***] days following the date the Infringement
Notice takes effect, infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated and if [***] has not brought suit against the infringer, then [***] institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. If
[***] institutes such suit, then Licensee may not join such suit without [***] consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for acts of infringement that are subject to [***] suit or any judgment rendered in that suit.



  

	8.4	 Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be [***] and next shall be [***].



 In any suit initiated by [***] will receive [***] of any recovery in excess of litigation costs and [***] will receive
[***]. 
 If the [***] fails to bring an infringement suit and such suit is initiated by [***], any recovery in excess of litigation costs
will belong to [***]. 
 The Regents and Licensee agree to be bound by all final and non-appealable
determinations of patent infringement, validity and enforceability (but no other issue) resolved by any adjudicated judgment in a suit brought in compliance with this Article 8 (PATENT INFRINGEMENT). 

 

	8.5	 Any agreement made by [***] involving a Sublicense to an infringer under Regents’ Patent Rights for
purposes of settling litigation or other dispute shall comply with the requirements of Article 3 (SUBLICENSES) of this Agreement. For clarity, [***] is not permitted to [***], and [***] will not have the right to grant rights under Regents’
Patent Rights in the Field of Use to settle infringement litigation if [***] are pursuing an infringer on their own during the term of this Agreement. 


  

	8.6	 Each party will cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of
the party who initiated the suit (unless such suit is being jointly prosecuted by the parties). 


  

	8.7	 Any litigation proceedings will be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except that [***] may be
represented by counsel of its choice in any suit brought by [***].

	9.3	 After the First Commercial Sale of each Licensed Product, Licensee must submit quarterly royalty reports to The
Regents by March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (i.e., within [***] days from the end of each calendar quarter). Licensee will state in its royalty report if it had no sales of any Licensed Product in the

AND RECORDS 
  

	10.1	 Licensee must keep accurate books and records of all Licensed Products developed, manufactured, used or sold
and all Sublicenses, collaboration agreements and joint venture agreements entered into by Licensee that in either case, extend rights or licenses to Regents’ Patent Rights or to make, use or sell Licensed Products. Licensee must preserve these
books and records for at least [***] years from the date of the royalty payment to which they pertain. These books and records will be open to examination by a certified public accountant (“CPA”) on behalf of The Regents, which CPA shall

than [***] percent ([***]%) of the total payments due The Regents within a given year under this Agreement is discovered. Payment owed by Licensee hereunder for underpayment of royalties will be due within [***] days of the examination result and
payment by Licensee for any examination costs incurred by The Regents will be due within [***] days from the date of The Regents’ invoice. Overpayment will be credited to future amounts due to The Regents under this Agreement.

patent application in Regents’ Patent Rights, whichever is later. 


  

	11.2	 Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee will have no further right to make, have made, use or sell any
Licensed Product except as provided in Article 14 (DISPOSITION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS ON HAND UPON TERMINATION).

 12. TERMINATION BY THE REGENTS 

 

	12.1	 If Licensee violates or fails to perform any material term of this Agreement, then The Regents may give written
notice of the default (“Notice of Default”) to Licensee. If Licensee does not cure the default within [***] days after the effective date of the Notice of Default, then The Regents has the right to terminate this Agreement and the

Date”). 



  
 14 















	13.2	 Any termination in accordance with Section 13.1 does not relieve Licensee of any obligation or liability
accrued prior to termination. Nor does termination rescind anything done by Licensee or any payments made to The Regents prior to the effective date of termination. Termination does not affect in any manner any rights of The Regents arising under
this Agreement prior to termination. 


 14. DISPOSITION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS 

ON HAND UPON TERMINATION

then any assignment thereof will be considered null and void with no further notice from The Regents.

this Agreement as if such acquirer or successor entity were the original Licensee and a copy of such written agreement shall be provided to The Regents by Licensee or the proposed acquirer or successor entity; 



  
 18

22. LATE PAYMENTS 
  

	22.1	 For each royalty payment or fee not received by The Regents when due, Licensee must pay to The Regents a simple
interest charge of [***] percent ([***]%) per annum to be calculated from the date payment was due until it was actually received by The Regents. For purposes of clarity, this Article 22 (LATE PAYMENTS) does not limit any rights of The Regents under
this Agreement arising from the failure by Licensee to make such payments when due. 


 23. WAIVER 

 

	23.1	 The waiver of any breach of any term of this Agreement does not waive any other breach of that or any other
term. 


 24. FAILURE TO PERFORM

Agreement, then the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees in addition to costs and necessary disbursements. 



25. GOVERNING LAW 
  

	25.1	 THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF

26. GOVERNMENT APPROVAL OR REGISTRATION 
  

	26.1	 If this Agreement or any associated transaction is required by the law of any nation to be either approved or
registered with any governmental agency, Licensee will assume all legal obligations to do so. Licensee will notify The Regents if it becomes aware that this Agreement is subject to a United States or foreign government reporting or approval
requirement. Licensee will make all necessary filings and pay all costs including fees, penalties, and all other out-of-pocket costs associated with such reporting or
approval process. 


 27. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS 

 

	27.1	 Licensee will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in performing its obligations hereunder and in
its use, manufacture, offer for sale, sale or import of Licensed Products or practice of Licensed Methods, including, but not limited to, obtaining and maintaining all necessary governmental Approvals for the commercialization of Licensed Products.
Licensee will observe all applicable United States and foreign laws with respect to the transfer of Licensed Products and related technical data, including and without limitation, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export

 28. PREFERENCE FOR UNITED STATES INDUSTRY 

 

	28.1	 Because this Agreement grants an exclusive right to a particular use of the Invention, Licensee must
manufacture in the United States Licensed Products intended for sale in the United States to the extent required by 35 U.S.C. §§200-212. Upon request of the Licensee, The Regents will provide
reasonable assistance for purposes of requesting a waiver from such manufacturing requirement at Licensee’s expense. 



29. FORCE MAJEURE 
  

	29.1	 Except for Licensee’s obligation to make any payments to The Regents hereunder, the parties shall not be
responsible for any failure to perform due to the occurrence of any events beyond their reasonable control that render their performance impossible or onerous, including, but not limited to: accidents (environment, toxic spill, etc.); acts of God;
biological or nuclear incidents; casualties; earthquakes; fires; floods; governmental acts; orders or restrictions; inability to obtain suitable and sufficient labor, transportation, fuel and materials; local, national or state emergency; power

prior written notice if either party is unable to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement due to any of the causes specified in Section 29.1 for a period of [***]. 



30. CONFIDENTIALITY 
  

	30.1	 If either party discloses confidential information to the other party, the disclosing party will designate this
information as confidential by appropriate legend or instruction and the receiving party will: 


  

	 	30.1a	 Use the same degree of care to maintain the secrecy of the confidential information as it uses to maintain the
secrecy of its own information of like kind. 


  

	 	30.1b	 Use the confidential information only to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement or for audit or management
purposes.

	 	30.2b	 the receiving party lawfully obtained from sources under no obligation of confidentiality;



  

	 	30.2c	 is or becomes publicly available other than through an act or omission of the receiving party or any of its
employees; 


  

	 	30.2d	 the receiving party independently develops without the use of the confidential information as demonstrated by
written records; or 


  

	 	30.2e	 is required to be disclosed under the California Public Records Act, governmental audit requirement or other
requirement of law. 



  
 20

	30.4	 The Regents is free to release the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any and all of the following:
(i) the Inventors, (ii) employees of The Regents having a need to know for purposes of The Regents rights or obligations under this Agreement, (iii) individual Regents and CIRM so that The Regents can fulfill The Regents’
obligations under the CIRM Regulations; and (iv) any co-owners of the patent rights comprising Regents’ Patent Rights. If such release is made, then The Regents shall give notice of the
confidential nature of such information. 


  

	30.5	 If a third party inquires whether a license to Regents’ Patent Rights is available, then The Regents may
disclose the existence of this Agreement and the extent of the grant in Article 2 (GRANT) and Article 3 (SUBLICENSES) to such third party, but will not disclose the name of Licensee or any other negotiated terms or conditions of this Agreement to
such third party, except where The Regents is required to release information under the California Public Records Act, a governmental audit requirement or other applicable law.

entity other than The Regents and the Licensee any rights, remedies or other benefits under, or by reason of, this Agreement.
