5.1 In consideration of the license granted under this Agreement, the Licensee will pay to UBC a royalty equal to: 

[***] 
 5.2 With respect to Revenues, the parties
recognize that Licensee may need to obtain additional rights and licenses from arms-iength third parties in order to enable Licensee to use such third-party’s technology (the “Third Party Technology”) to optimally develop,
make, use, offer for sale, sell and/or import Products or Services. If Licensee’s total combined royalty burden on Revenue received by the Licensee with respect to any specific Products or Services exceeds the Royalty Stack Cap, as defined
below, then the royalty payable by Licensee to UBC on such Revenue shall be adjusted by an amount proportionate to the amount by which the total Royalty Stack exceeds the Royalty Stack Cap, as follows: 

[***] 
 5.3 The royalty is due and payable within
30 days of each respective Royalty Due Date and is to be calculated with respect to the Revenue and the Sublicensing Revenue in the 3 month period immediately before the applicable Royalty Due Date. 

5.4 All royalties paid by the Licensee to UBC under this Agreement will be in Canadian dollars without any reduction or deduction of any nature or kind at
all. [***]. 
 5.5 Products and Services are deemed to have been sold or provided by the Licensee and included in the Revenue when payment is received by
Licensee. The Licensee is deemed to receive Sublicensing Revenue when the consideration is due from the sublicensee. 
 5.6 Any transaction, disposition, or
other dealing involving all or part of the Technology or any Improvements, Products or Services, between the Licensee and another person that is not made at fair market value is deemed to have been made at fair market value, and the fair market
value of the transaction, disposition, or other dealing will be added to and deemed part of the Revenue or the Sublicensing Revenue, as the case may be, and will be included in the calculation of royalties under this Agreement.

	6.0	 ANNUAL LICENSE FEE AND EQUITY 



6.1 The Licensee will pay to UBC, in addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement, an annual license fee as set out in the table below (the
“Annual License Fee”): 
 [***] 

The Annual License Fee shall not be refundable under any circumstances, provided that the Annual License Fees that have been paid by the Licensee to UBC can
be deducted from royalty payments due to UBC under Article 5.1(a), once the royalty payments for the sale of Products or Services become due. 
 6.2 In
addition to the Initial License Fee under Article 3.6, the Licensee agrees to grant, issue and deliver to UBC on execution of this Agreement common voting shares in the capital of the Licensee (the “UBC Shares”), it being the
intention of the parties that the issuance of such UBC Founders Shares to UBC shall represent [***] the total shares in the capital of the Licensee issued by the Licensee to its founding shareholders (being composed of [***] execution of this
Agreement. For the purpose of [***] the shares issued by the Licensee to its founders shall be determined on a fully diluted basis taking into account all escrowed shares as if they had been released from escrow, and any rights to acquire any shares
of the Licensee under any option, warrant or right of conversion, as if such right had been fully exercised. 
 6.3 The UBC Shares shall be deemed to be
fully paid for by UBC as of the date of issuance and shall be the absolute property of UBC. Neither all nor any portion of the UBC Shares shall be refundable to Licensee under any circumstances. 

6.4 UBC will become a party to any shareholders’ agreement entered into between the Licensee and its founders. As a condition precedent to the execution
of this Agreement UBC shall have approved in writing the form of this shareholders agreement. Such shareholders agreement shall include: 
  

	 	(a)	 tag along rights preventing other shareholders of the Licensee (each a “Selling Shareholder”)
from selling any shares of the Licensee to any third party unless the UBC Shares are included, at the option of UBC, in such sale, pro rata based on the total number of shares owned by the Selling Shareholder(s) and UBC, and on the same terms and
conditions as those accepted by the Selling Shareholder(s). The shareholders agreement shall provide that these tag along rights will not apply to sales by a Selling Shareholder where the sale is made to a spouse of a Selling Shareholder or to a
company controlled by a Selling shareholder; and 


  

	 	(b)	 rights for the benefit of UBC that are not less favourable than the rights granted to the other founding
shareholders of the Licensee under the terms of such shareholders agreement. 


 [***]. 

6.5 Until the Licensee becomes a reporting issuer for equity securities under the Securities Act of British Columbia or under the applicable securities
legislation in any other jurisdiction which has jurisdiction over the issuance of shares by the Licensee, the Licensee shall provide to UBC within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Licensee, financial statements of the Licensee
prepared by a reputable accounting firm. 
 6.6 The Licensee will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the UBC Shares to be issued free from
any pooling, escrow or other trading restrictions placed on such shares by the Licensee or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Licensee. The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that UBC shall have the right to transfer any or all of
the UBC Shares to a company or society of which UBC is the sole shareholder in the case of a company or of which UBC controls the membership, in the case of a society and/or to persons employed by UBC who have made a contribution to the invention or
development of the Technology or any UBC Improvements or Joint Improvements, and the Licensee shall take all steps or do such acts as may be reasonably required to allow such transfer or transfers.

 6.7 The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it will comply with all applicable laws and legislation with
respect to the issuance of the UBC shares. If the Licensee files at any time a registration statement or prospectus with any securities authority, including the Securities and Exchange Commission in the U.S., the Licensee will to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable securities laws, include the registration of the UBC Shares under such securities registration. 
 6.8 Until the first Qualified
Investment is completed, the Licensee will not allow, or cause, a controlling interest in the Licensee to pass to any person or persons other than those having a controlling interest at the Start Date, whether by reason of purchase of shares or
otherwise without the prior written consent of UBC, not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 6.9 The Licensee further agrees that until the first Qualified
Investment is completed: 
  

	 	(a)	 the terms of any investment in the Licensee which requires or which might require the issue of shares or
securities of the Licensee, including any debt financing or an issue of convertible debt, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by UBC, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; 



 

	 	(b)	 any issue of shares or securities of the Licensee shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by UBC; and



  

	 	(c)	 after the third anniversary of the Start Date, the Licensee may request that the requirement for the approvals
set out in Article 6.10(a) and (b) be waived if the Licensee is of the view that a Qualified Investment will not be required for the operations of the Licensee. 



6.10 The Licensee will prior to execution of this Agreement: 
  

	 	(a)	 adopt a corporate governance structure that is reasonably acceptable to UBC, and approved by UBC in writing;
and 


  

	 	(b)	 obtain UBC’s approval in writing of the articles of incorporation of the Licensee. 



 

	7.0	 PATENTS 



7.1 During the term of the Research Chair Agreement and any extension or renewal thereof, UBC will manage the filing, maintenance and prosecution of the
Patents. The Licensee may identify any process, use or products arising out of the Technology and any UBC Improvements and/or Joint Improvements that may be patentable, and UBC at the reasonable request of the Licensee may take steps to apply for a
Patent in the name of UBC [***]. 
 7.2 On the filing of a Patent application under Article 7.1, the Licensee will become, solely within the fields of use
as licensed under Article 3, the licensee of the Patent on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement. 
 7.3 Licensee shall pay all costs of
applying for, registering and maintaining the Patents. While UBC manages the filing, maintenance, and prosecution of the Patents, and subject to Article 7.5, the Licensee will: 

 

	 	(a)	 6 months from Start Date begin paying to UBC a patent management fee equal to [***] of all out of pocket fees,
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Patents; and 


  


 [***] Certain information in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it
is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. 
  





  
 13 














	 	(b)	 within 30 days of the date of any UBC invoice pay UBC for all out of pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the Patents (both before and after the Start Date). 


 7.4 Neither the above patent management fee nor the Patent costs
will be refunded to the Licensee (in whole or in part) under any circumstances. 
 7.5 The Licensee will pay UBC [***] the balance of all costs incurred up
to the date of execution of this Agreement, regarding any patents or patent applications relating to the Technology and any Improvements licensed under this Agreement in installments as follows; 

[***] 
 7.6 The Licensee will not contest the
validity or scope of: 
  

	 	(a)	 any Patents licensed under this Agreement; 



 

	 	(b)	 any patents developed by the Investigator and/or any UBC researchers working under the direction of the
Investigator, and licensed by UBC to a third party; or 


  

	 	(c)	 any patents licensed by UBC to [***]. 



7.7 To the extent that such marking is required by applicable law, the Licensee will ensure proper patent marking for all uses of the Technology and any
Improvements licensed under this Agreement and will clearly mark the appropriate Patent numbers on any Products made or Services provided using the Technology and any Improvements. 

7.8 If any Improvement is determined to be a Licensee Improvement, the Licensee will manage the filing, maintenance and prosecution of patents related to the
Licensee Improvements. On the expiry of the Research Chair Agreement, and on the written request of the Licensee, UBC will transfer to the Licensee responsibility for preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Core Patents (“Patent
Management”) in UBC’s name. UBC will own the Core Patents, the Licensee will be responsible for Patent Management, and will ensure that the Patents broadly claim for UBC’s benefit all inventions disclosed by the Technology and any
UBC and Joint Improvements. The Licensee will provide to UBC all material information and documents received, prepared or filed in connection with the Patents, and will notify and obtain UBC’s approval before taking any substantive actions
related to the Patent Management. The Licensee will not: 
  

	 	(a)	 limit the scope of, or abandon any claim within, or otherwise allow to lapse, any Patent; or



  

	 	(b)	 fail to maintain any Patent; 



in any country, without UBC’s prior written approval. If the Licensee intends to abandon, allow to lapse, or not continue the Patent Management of, a
Patent in any country, then the Licensee will not less than 30 days before any required action relating to such Patent notify UBC and UBC will then have the right, at its option, to assume the Patent Management of such Patent, in which case such
Patent will be excluded from the Patents licensed under this Agreement. 
  

	8.0	 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY 



8.1 UBC makes no representations, conditions or warranties, either express or implied, regarding the Technology, any Improvements, Products or Services.
Without limitation, UBC specifically disclaims any implied warranty, condition or representation that the Technology, any Improvements, Products or Services: 
  

	 	(a)	 correspond with a particular description; 



 


 [***] Certain information in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it
is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed. 
  





  
 14 














	 	(b)	 are of merchantable quality; 



 

	 	(c)	 are fit for a particular purpose; or 



 

	 	(d)	 are durable for a reasonable period of time. 



UBC is not liable for any loss, whether direct, consequential, incidental or special, which the Licensee or other third parties suffer arising from any
defect, error or fault of the Technology, any Improvements, Products or Services, or their failure to perform, even if UBC is aware of the possibility of the defect, error, fault or failure. The Licensee acknowledges that it has been advised by UBC
to undertake its own due diligence regarding the Technology, any Improvements, Products or Services. 
 8.2 Nothing in this Agreement: 

 

	 	(a)	 constitutes a warranty or representation by UBC as to title to the Technology or any Improvements or that
anything made, used, sold or otherwise disposed of under the license granted in this Agreement will not infringe the patents, copyrights, trade-marks, industrial designs or other intellectual property rights of any third parties, or any patents,
copyrights, trade-marks, industrial design or other intellectual property rights owned, in whole or in part, by UBC, or licensed by UBC to any third parties; 


  


	 	(b)	 constitutes an express or implied warranty or representation by UBC that the Licensee has, or will have the
freedom to operate or practice the Technology or any Improvements, or the freedom to make, have made, use, sell or otherwise dispose of Products or provide Services; or 



 

	 	(c)	 imposes an obligation on UBC to bring, prosecute or defend actions or suits against third parties for
infringement of patents, copyrights, trade-marks, industrial designs or other intellectual property or contractual rights. 


 8.3
Notwithstanding Article 8.2, if there is an alleged infringement of the Technology or any UBC Improvements or Joint Improvements or any right with respect to the Technology or any UBC Improvements or Joint Improvements, the Licensee may, on
receiving the prior written consent of UBC which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, prosecute litigation designed to enjoin, address, or abate the infringers of the Technology or any UBC Improvements or Joint Improvements. Provided that
it has first granted its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, UBC agrees to reasonably co-operate to the extent of signing all necessary documents and to vest in the
Licensee the right to start the litigation, provided that all the direct and indirect costs and expenses of bringing and conducting the litigation or settlement are paid by the Licensee and all recovered damages and payments collected be deemed
Sublicensing Fees for the purpose of calculating royalties owed to UBC under this Agreement, provided that the Licensee may deduct legal fees incurred by the Licensee expended solely for the purpose of prosecuting such infringement from such
recovered damages and payments. 
 8.4 If any complaint alleging infringement of any patent or other proprietary rights is made against the Licensee or a
sublicensee of the Licensee regarding the use of the Technology or any UBC Improvements or Joint Improvements or the development, manufacture, use or sale of the Products or provision of Services, the following procedure will be adopted: 

 

	 	(a)	 the Licensee will promptly notify UBC on receipt of the complaint and will keep UBC fully informed of the
actions and positions taken by the complainant and taken or proposed to be taken by the Licensee on behalf of itself or a sublicensee; 


  

	 	(b)	 except as provided in Article 8.4(d), all costs and expenses incurred by the Licensee or any sublicensee of the
Licensee in investigating, resisting, litigating and settling the complaint, including the payment of any award of damages and/or costs to any third party, will be paid by the Licensee or any sublicensee of the Licensee, as the case may be;




  
 15 














	 	(c)	 no decision or action concerning or governing any final disposition of the complaint will be taken without full
consultation with, and approval by, UBC which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; 


  

	 	(d)	 UBC may elect to participate as a party in any litigation involving the complaint to the extent that the court
may permit, but any additional expenses generated by such participation will be paid by UBC (subject to the possibility of recovery of some or all of the additional expenses from the complainant); and 



 

	 	(e)	 the Licensee will pay all royalties payable under Article 5.1 of this Agreement to UBC in trust from the date
UBC receives notice of the complaint and until a resolution of the complaint has been finalized. If the complainant is successful, then the royalties paid to UBC in trust under this Articles 8.4(e) will be returned to the Licensee, provided that the
amount being returned to the Licensee is no more than the amount paid by the Licensee to the complainant in the settlement or other disposition of the complaint. If the complainant does not succeed, then UBC retains all royalties paid to it under
this Article 8.4(e). 


  

	9.0	 INDEMNITY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 



9.1 The Licensee indemnifies, holds harmless and defends UBC, its Board of Governors, officers, employees, faculty, students, invitees and agents against any

consent, disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the party’s directors, officers, employees, faculty, students, investors, potential investors, and professional advisors who require the
Confidential Information to assist such party in performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Licensee will maintain an appropriate internal program limiting the distribution of UBC’s Confidential Information to only those officers,
employees, investors, potential investors, and professional advisors who require such Confidential Information in performing the Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement and who have signed appropriate
non-disclosure agreements.

Confidential Information, will promptly notify the other party and allow it reasonable time to oppose the process before disclosing the Confidential Information. 

10.3 UBC is not restricted from presenting at symposia, national or regional professional meetings, or from publishing in journals or other publications,
accounts of its research relating to the Technology and any UBC Improvements and Joint Improvements, provided that with respect to the Confidential Information only, the Licensee is provided with copies of the proposed disclosure at least 60 days
before the presentation or publication date and does not, within 30 days after delivery of the proposed disclosure, give notice to UBC indicating that it objects to the proposed disclosure. Any objection to a proposed disclosure will specify the
portions of the proposed disclosure considered objectionable (the “Objectionable Material”). On receiving notice from the Licensee that any proposed disclosure contains Objectionable Material, UBC and the Licensee agree to work
together to revise the proposed disclosure to remove or alter the Objectionable Material in a manner acceptable to both the Licensee and UBC, in which case the Licensee will withdraw its objection. UBC is not restricted from publishing or presenting
the proposed disclosure as long as the Objectionable Material has been removed. Any Objectionable Material will not be disclosed for 6 months from the date UBC delivered the proposed disclosure to the Licensee. After 6 months from the date UBC
delivered the proposed disclosure to the Licensee, UBC is free to present and/or publish the proposed disclosure whether or not it contains Objectionable Material. For greater clarity, UBC will not publish confidential business information of the
Licensee without prior written approval from the Licensee. 
 10.4 The Licensee requires of UBC, and to the extent permitted by law UBC agrees, that this
Agreement, and each part of it, is confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties, as the Licensee claims that the disclosure would or could reveal commercial, scientific or technical information and would significantly harm the
Licensee’s competitive position and/or interfere with the Licensee’s negotiations with prospective sublicensees. Notwithstanding anything contained in Article 10, the Licensee acknowledges and agrees that UBC may identify the title of this
Agreement, the parties to this Agreement and the names of the inventors of the Technology and any Improvements, and that UBC may also disclose to the inventors the amount of all payments made to UBC by the Licensee under this Agreement, the manner
or method by which such payments were calculated and all Payment Reports delivered to UBC by the Licensee in connection with such payments.

contemplated by this agreement, all of which have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite proceedings. 
  

	20.0	 MANAGEMENT OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 



20.1 The Licensee acknowledges that it is aware of UBC’s Conflict of Interest Policy #97, Patent and Licensing Policy #88 and Research Policy #87
(www.universitycounsel.ubc.ca/policies/policies.html), and that UBC may amend these policies or introduce new policies from time to time. 
 20.2 Subject to
Article 20.3 the Licensee and UBC agree, that: 
  

	 	(a)	 the facilities and research programs of the Licensee will be conducted independently of all UBC facilities,
faculty, students or staff, and in particular, independently of and from the Investigator(s) and the laboratory facilities made available to the Investigator(s) by reason of the Investigator(s)’ employment at UBC; 



 

	 	(b)	 no students, post-doctoral fellows or other UBC staff will participate or be involved in the Licensee’s
research, projects or utilize its facilities; and 


  

	 	(c)	 any disclosures of inventions made by the Investigator(s) to the Licensee will be immediately forwarded by the
Licensee to UBC. 


 20.3 The Licensee and UBC may, from time to time, enter into written agreements to permit activities which would
otherwise be prohibited by Article 20.2. For further clarity, the Licensee may, through a rental agreement with UBC, obtain access to the laboratory facilities used by the Investigator, which will include appropriate compensation to UBC in exchange
for the use of this space, or may engage with UBC employees to advance Licensee research through a contract research agreement.
