receives prior approval from the Company’s CEO or CFO or other executive for such expenditure or cost, and (ii) with respect to

5.
Proprietary Information; Work Product; Non-Disclosure.


 


a.
Proprietary Information Defined. The Company has and/or will conceive, develop and/or own, and continues to conceive and develop,
certain property and intellectual rights and information, including, but not limited to, its business plans and objectives, products
and services, client, customer and employee information, :financial projections, marketing plans, marketing materials, logos, and designs,
and technical data, inventions, research, recipes, processes, know-how, marketing strategies, algorithms, formulae, franchises, databases,
computer programs, computer software and other trade secrets, information relating to patents issued, patents pending, patent applications,
trademarks, service marks, copyrights, inventions, know-how or trade secrets, or otherwise to research and development efforts, methodologies,
testing, engineering, manufacturing, sales, :finances, or operations (such as but not limited to processes, formulae, methods, designs,
schematics plans, techniques, devices, manufacturing and/or testing procedures, sales, personnel information or data), intangible assets
and industrial or proprietary property rights which may or may not be related directly or indirectly to the Company’s business
and all documentation, media or other tangible embodiment of or relating to any of the foregoing and all proprietary rights therein of
the Company (all of which are hereinafter referred to as the “Proprietary Information”). Although certain information
may be generally known in the relevant industry, the fact that the Company uses it may not be so known. In such instance, the knowledge
that the Company uses the information would comprise Proprietary Information. Furthermore, the fact that various fragments of information
or data may be generally known in the relevant industry does not mean that the manner in which the Company combines them, and the results
obtained thereby, are known. In such instance, that would also comprise Proprietary Information.


 


b.
General Restrictions on Use. Advisor agrees to hold all Proprietary Information in confidence and not to, directly or indirectly,
disclose, use, copy, publish, summarize, or remove from the Company’s premises any Proprietary Information (or remove from the
premises any other property of the Company), except (i) during the Term to the extent authorized and necessary to carry out Advisor’s
responsibilities under this Agreement, and (ii) after termination of this Agreement, only as specifically authorized in writing by the
Company. Advisor shall protect the Proprietary Information against unauthorized use or disclosure with at least the same degree of care
that Advisor uses to protect its own proprietary or confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than a reasonable
degree of care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such restrictions shall not apply to: (x) information which Advisor can show was rightfully
in Advisor’s possession at the time of disclosure by the Company; (y) information which Advisor can show was received from a third
party who lawfully developed the information independently of the Company or obtained such information from the Company under conditions
which did not require that it be held in confidence; or (z) information which, at the time of disclosure, is generally available to the
public.

The
Company may use the name of Advisor or Advisor’s affiliated university or any affiliated entity without the prior written approval
of Advisor or any affiliated entity, as the case may be, only so long as any such usage is limited to reporting factual events or circumstances
only. Information not requiring prior written approval of Advisor or affiliated entity shall include but is not limited to using Advisor’s
name, picture, biography and any information or videos regarding Advisor which is public. Company may state that Advisor is a member
of Company’s Advisory Board and/or is providing strategic scientific and/or biomedical engineering advice and/or services and/or
direction to Company, and may use information pertaining to Advisor for purposes including but not limited to Company website, marketing,
advertising, and fundraising.


 


c.
Ownership of Work Product. All Company Work Product (as hereinafter defined) shall be considered work(s) made for hire by Advisor
for the sole benefit of the Company and shall belong exclusively to the Company and its designees. “Company Work Product”
shall mean any and all works, ideas, inventions, improvements, discoveries, designs, writings, works of authorship, processes, formulas,
intellectual property, patents and all other documentation (whether or not patentable or copyrightable or constituting trade secrets
and whether or not reduced to writing or practice), that are authored, conceived, developed, first reduced to practice· or discovered
by Advisor (whether alone or with others) (i) in the performance of the Services, (ii) that derive from information or materials Advisor
received from Company, or (iii) that relate to or result from the actual or anticipated business, work, research or investigation of
Company. All Company Work Product shall be promptly and fully disclosed by Advisor to Company. Advisor hereby assigns all right, title
and interest in and to such Work Product (including all intellectual property embodied therein) to Company. At Company’ request
and expense, Advisor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, declarations, certificates and other documents as Company
may consider necessary or appropriate to properly evidence Company’s right, title and interest in the Company Work Product, and
all intellectual property rights embodied therein, including, but not limited to, all copyrights and patent rights, and to obtain full
protection therefor. Advisor shall execute any and all applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other proprietary
rights and do such other acts (including, among other things, the execution and delivery of instruments of further assurance or confirmation)
requested by Company to assign the Company Work Product to Company and to permit Company to file, obtain and enforce any patents, copyrights
or other proprietary rights in the Company Work Product. Advisor’s obligation to execute, or cause to be executed, any such instrument
or paper, shall indefinitely survive the termination or expiration of Advisor’s service on the Advisory Board. All Company Work
Product and all information related thereto shall be considered Proprietary Information and shall be subject to all of the restrictions
set forth in this Agreement.

d.

drawings, blueprints, manuals, specification documents, documentation, source or object codes, tape discs and any other storage
media, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, flowcharts, and all other materials in its possession or under its control relating to
the Proprietary Information and/or Services, as well as all other property belonging to the Company which is then in Advisor’s
possession or under its control.


 


e.
Remedies. Nothing in this Section 5 is intended to limit any remedy of the Company under applicable state or federal law.


 


6.
Notice of Competitive Services and Non-solicitation of Employees. During the Term and for 6 months thereafter, Advisor shall
provide the Company with prior written notice if Advisor intends to provide any services, as an advisor, employee, consultant or otherwise,
to any person, company or entity that competes directly with the Company, such written notice to include the name of the competitor.
Advisor agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter, Advisor will not, other than on behalf
of or for the benefit of Company: (i) recruit or hire any employee, independent contractor or advisor of Company, or otherwise attempt
to solicit or induce any such employee, independent contractor or advisor to leave the employment of, or terminate their relationship
or provisions of services with, Company; or (ii) otherwise interfere with Company’s business relationship with any client, vendor,
independent contractor or other party with whom Company engages in business.


 


7.
Miscellaneous.


 


a.

if by mail, (ii) on the day following deposit with an overnight courier, if sent by overnight courier, (iii) upon receipt if by personal
delivery, or (iv) upon confirmation of receipt through facsimile electronic means if by email.


 


b.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any documents attached hereto as Exhibits constitute the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and therein, and supersede and replace any and all prior agreements and
understandings, whether oral or written with respect to such matters. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, amended
or replaced in whole or in part only upon the written consent of both parties to this Agreement.


 


c.
Severability, Enforcement. If, for any reason, any prov1s1on of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or inoperative,
the validity and effect of the other provisions herein shall not be affected thereby, provided that no such severability shall be
effective if it causes a material detriment to any party.


 


d.
Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, enforceability, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, and the state and federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois shall have exclusive
jurisdiction of all suits and proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Each party hereby submits to the jurisdiction
of said courts in Cook County, Illinois for purposes of any such suit or proceeding, and waives any claim that any such forum is an inconvenient
forum.

e.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER TIDS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO
INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH
PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY

THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS

Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants in Section 5 or
6, the damage or imminent damage to the value and the goodwill of the Company’s business will be irreparable and extremely difficult
to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Accordingly, the parties agree that the Company shall be entitled to
injunctive relief against Advisor in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any such provisions by Advisor (without having to
post bond), in addition to any other relief (including damages) available to the Company under this Agreement or under applicable state
or federal law.

and paralegals’ fees and costs in connection with any such claim or litigation.


 


h.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable, and all of which
