 This agreement and its appendices (“Agreement”) are
made and entered into this 20th day of December, 2010
(“Effective Date”) by and between Coskata, Inc. a company having its registered office at 4575 Weaver Pkwy, Ste 100, Warrenville, IL, USA (“Coskata”), and Total Petrochemicals Research Feluy S.A.
(“TPRF”), a company incorporated under Belgian law and having its registered office at Zone Industrielle C, 7181 Feluy, Belgium. Each of Coskata and TPRF shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Party” and
collectively as the “Parties.” 
 Whereas, Coskata has preliminary results on the conversion of
synthesis gas into a mixture of ethanol and propanol using a [***] strain [***] species and is interested in developing technology and licensing technology for the production of Propanol that is complementary to the use of technology for the
dehydration of Propanol to propylene. 
 Whereas, TPRF is interested in developing and commercializing of chemical
or polymer-grade propylene made from Synthesis Gas, produced by gasification or reforming of carbon sources, including renewable resources. TPRF is already involved in the development of dehydration technology for alcohols into corresponding olefins
with a third party which technology will become available for licensing if and when its development is deemed successful by TPRF and such third party. 
 Whereas, the Parties desire to collaborate with the objective of developing, industrializing and commercializing a new technology and/or process to convert clean, cool Synthesis Gas by
fermentation to a mixture of predominantly Propanol and, to a lesser extent, byproducts, including recovery and purification to provide dehydration-ready Propanol (“Propanol Fermentation Technology” as further defined in Appendix
1). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein set forth, the Parties agree as
follows: 
  

	SECTION	1: Purpose of this Agreement 

 The Parties wish to enter into this Agreement under which they shall jointly undertake research and development work in the Field with the primary objective of jointly developing the Propanol Fermentation
Technology and, if such development is deemed successful by the Parties, to jointly industrialize and commercialize the same. 
  

	SECTION	2: Term of this Agreement

	2.2.2	Notwithstanding Paragraph 2.1 hereof, this Agreement may be terminated by any Party upon expiration of a [***] period from the Effective Date if the Steering Committee
has decided that (a) Readiness has not been achieved within such a [***] period and decided that (b) there will be no extension of the period wherein Readiness of the IJDP will be achieved. However, if after such termination, a Party (the
“Solving Party”) identifies a solution resolving the problem underlying the non-achievement of Readiness and the Solving Party reconsiders the development of the PFT and requiring the Foreground for its implementation, then the Solving
Party shall have the obligation to notify the other Party (the “Notified Party”) of such solution during a period of (i) [***] after the date of such termination if the Solving Party independently identifies, without relying on third
parties, such solution or (ii) [***] after the date of such termination if the Solving Party identifies such solution together with a [***] and the Notified Party shall have the right to collaborate, with the Solving Party, on such solution
according to terms identical to those of this Agreement or under other terms agreed upon between the Parties, which right the Notified Party must exercise within [***] of receiving notice from the Solving Party. 


 

	2.2.3	Notwithstanding Paragraph 2.1 hereof, this Agreement may be terminated by any Party in each case that the Steering Committee decides, prior to or on the due date, that
(a) a given milestone (as specified in Appendix 3) cannot be achieved within the period determined by the Agreement and the Steering Committee decides that (b) there will be no extension of the period wherein the relevant milestone is to
be achieved. However, if after such termination, a Solving Party identifies a solution resolving the problem underlying the non-achievement of said milestone and the Solving Party reconsiders the development of the PFT and requiring the Foreground
for its implementation, the Solving Party shall have the obligation to notify the Notified Party of such solution during a period of (i) [***] after the date of such termination if the Solving Party independently identifies, without relying on
third parties, such solution or (ii) [***] after the date of such termination if the Solving Party identifies such solution together with a [***] and the Notified Party shall have the right to collaborate, with the Solving Party, on such
solution according to terms identical to those of this Agreement or under other terms agreed upon between the Parties, which right the Notified Party must exercise within [***] of receiving notice from the Solving Party.

Synthesis Gas fermentation and alcohol separation) [***], in order to prepare the Blank Process Book. 


  

	 	•	 	 Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses associated with their own personnel for the completion of the Blank Process Book. Any other costs to
complete the Blank Process Book by relying on said third party will be borne by [***]. 


 Except if provided
otherwise herein, TPRF and Coskata will bear their own costs associated with any of their employees participating and/or performing operations associated with Phase 3 of the IJDP. 

 

	4.1.3    	  In addition to the resources and funding specified in Subparagraph 4.1.2, and without any costs, compensation or reimbursement for or from any other Party:


  

	 	1.	Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses in meeting its obligations and responsibilities in relation to the implementation of the IJDP (including but not limited
to its own costs associated with any personnel performing tasks associated with the IJDP) and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. In particular, after Readiness of the IJDP, each Party shall continue to bear such costs and expenses
(unless otherwise decided upon by the Steering Committee). 

  

	 	2.	Each Party will provide additional financial contributions and/or resources necessary to implement the IJDP (including but not limited to any modification or expansion
thereof as approved by the Steering Committee) and to enable the filing of patent applications regarding Foreground, which contributions and resources are approved by the Steering Committee;

	 	4.1.4	The Steering Committee has the responsibility to prepare annual budgets for all costs to be borne for the implementation of the IJDP (unless otherwise agreed by the
Parties) and the filing of patent applications covering Foreground, which costs are to be documented and charged at cost hereunder to one or more Parties. The Steering Committee also has the responsibility to track these costs against the annual
budget and ensure that spending is consistent with and subject to the achievement of relevant project Milestones (as specified in Appendix 3). 

  

	4.2	Additional Development Programs 

  

	 	4.2.1	Each Party shall have the right to make a proposal for an ADP to the other Party. Any such proposal shall be reviewed and rejected or accepted by the Steering
Committee. With respect to rejected proposals, the Parties shall act in strict accordance with Paragraph 4.4. 

  

	 	4.2.2	The Parties shall jointly conduct Additional Development Programs in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or any other terms and conditions
agreed upon. A specific Addendum to this Agreement shall be signed between the Parties for each such Additional Project, defining the agreed upon scope of work, the related budget and task sharing as well as other terms and conditions.


  

	4.3	Access to Coskata’s facilities  

  

	 	4.3.1	TPRF shall have the right to make available to Coskata during the term of the Initial Joint Development Program and the Additional Development Programs, and Coskata

	4.4	Independent research 

  

	 	4.4.1	Neither Party shall [***]. 

  

	 	4.4.2	After Readiness of the PFT, either Party may proceed to [***]. It is understood by the Parties that the intent is to conduct additional research and development work
for improving or extending the PFT within the Field together by means of Additional Development Programs. In case one of the Parties proposes to perform such work jointly with the other Party as an Additional Development Program and such other Party
does not elect to participate in such Additional Development Program after Readiness, the proposing Party (the “Pursuing Party”) is allowed to proceed with such additional research and development work independently [***] being understood
that (i) the Background of the refusing Party cannot be used by the other Party without the prior approval of the Party owning such Background and (ii) the Identified Foreground (as defined in Subparagraph 6.3.3) relating to the refusing
Party’s Background cannot be used by the other Party within the Field, unless specific terms and conditions for its use within the Field are agreed by the Steering Committee and (iii) notwithstanding anything else specified herein, the
Pursuing Party has the right to use the Foreground, including all applicable rights, title and interest, for any such research and development work conducted independently [***]. In the event of an impasse at the Steering Committee, this dispute
will be treated as described in Paragraph 13.3. Nothing in this Paragraph shall be interpreted to provide to a Party the rights to use Identified Foreground without permission to use the related Background.


 

	 	4.4.3	Without prejudice to Paragraphs 4.4.1 and 4.4.2, in case of rejection of a proposal for an Additional Development Program, each Party shall have the right, without
accounting therefore to the other Party, to pursue its own independent research and development efforts relating to such rejected proposal, [***] as long as they do not use, without permission, any Background of another Party or Identified
Foreground relating to the other Party’s Background. Such independent research and development efforts shall be at the sole expense of the Party conducting it, and any results, information or inventions generated thereby shall [***].


  

	 	4.4.4	If and when a Party (or TPRF Affiliates or Coskata Affiliates as the case may be) (the “Performing Party”) [***] that: (a) is/are able to produce
predominantly Propanol and can be directed to the production thereof, (b) is/are not part of the Field and (c) for which (i) up to [***] such Party wants to develop potential applications for the production of [***] or (ii) after
[***] such Party wants to develop potential applications for the production of Propanol by using Foreground (“Other Microorganism”), the Performing Party commits (but always subject to third party rights and/or its obligations owed
to third parties) to propose such Other Microorganism to the other Party (the “Invited Party”) for the further and joint evaluation of the same by and between the Performing Party and the Invited Party in view of determining their
respective interests and willingness into entering into a 

  

	[***]	Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. The text has been separately filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

collaboration with each other (and any relevant third party as the case may be) directed to such Other Microorganism (“Joint Evaluation”). The Invited Party may elect not to
contribute to such Joint Evaluation and shall notify the Performing Party thereof within three (3) months from the date of proposal by the Performing Party. If the Invited Party elects to collaborate on the Joint Evaluation, then the Joint
Evaluation will be considered an accepted ADP, subject to Section 4.2. To run such ADP, a necessary Addendum to this Agreement, as described in Section 4.2.2, will contain a redefinition of the Field to include the Other Microorganism.
Nothing herein shall be construed as a restriction on the Performing Party to work or continue to work on the Other Microorganism, being understood however that, and except if decided otherwise between the Parties, nothing in this provision shall be
interpreted so as to grant to the Performing Party a license covering the Invited Party’s Background or Identified Foreground. 
 Subject to the Performing Party’s confidentiality obligations owed to third parties, all relevant information that the Performing Party believes is reasonably necessary for the Invited Party to
determine its interests in and willingness to contribute to the Joint Evaluation will have to be disclosed to the Invited Party. Any and all such information (including the existence of the above-said notification) provided by the Performing Party
shall be held confidential in the same manner as Confidential Information under Section 11 hereof (but excluding Paragraphs 11.12 and 11.13) and the Invited Party shall not use any such information, except if expressly authorized otherwise by
the Performing Party. Prior to any disclosure of such information, the Performing Party shall summarize or describe in general terms such information intended to be disclosed to the Invited Party, and the Invited Party shall have the right to refuse
receipt of or access to any information or material so described or summarized by identifying for and providing to the Performing Party the described or summarized information that the Invited Party does not desire to receive. 

 

	4.5	    Subcontracting 

  

	 	4.5.1  	Should any Party wish to subcontract part of its share of work hereunder to any third party (other than to a TPRF Affiliate), such Party shall request the Steering
Committee’s prior approval. 

  

	 	4.5.2  	TPRF shall have the right to cause TPRF Affiliates to perform any action which TPRF is permitted to perform under this Agreement, and when such TPRF Affiliates are
acting on behalf of TPRF in exercising the rights and licenses granted to TPRF under this Agreement, such TPRF Affiliates will be entitled to the same rights and benefits which are granted to TPRF hereunder and they shall have the benefit of the
other Party’s contractual obligations to TPRF, provided, however, that TPRF shall cause such TPRF Affiliates to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including TPRF’s confidentiality and restricted use obligations.


  

	 	4.5.3  	The implementation of Subparagraphs 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 is subject to the condition that the concerned Party shall remain liable for the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement and all property rights on the results of the work including intellectual property rights will be treated in the same way as if the work had been done by such Party itself, notwithstanding such subcontracting or delegation.

	4.6	    Dehydration 

  

	 	4.6.1  	The Propanol produced by the PFT will be made available for the optimization of the dehydration technology that TPRF envisages to develop in collaboration with a third
party (“TPRF Dehydration Partner”). 

  

	 	4.6.2  	Even if such optimization of the dehydration technology falls outside the scope of the Field, and always subject to TPRF’s obligations owed to the TPRF Dehydration
Partner: 

  

	 	(a)	TPRF will evaluate the Propanol and provide, subject to appropriate confidentiality and restricted use provisions to be agreed upon, feedback to Coskata on a need to
know basis for the performance of the Agreement, with respect to the technical and commercial suitability, in TPRF’s opinion, of the Propanol for use in relation with such dehydration technology. 


 

	 	(b)	TPRF will work in good faith to [***].

	 	5.1.1  	The Background provided hereunder to the other Parties shall remain at all times the sole ownership of the Party providing the same and, unless if expressly agreed
otherwise herein or decided otherwise by the Steering Committee: (a) nothing herein will prevent such owning Party to continue to use and to benefit therefrom and (b) such Background shall not be transferred or disclosed by the other Party
to any third party. Nothing in this Agreement includes a restriction of a Party’s right, with respect to the Background it owns or possesses, to use, commercialize, and to disclose to, and permit others to use the same without any obligation,
restriction or accounting to the other Party. 

  

	 	5.1.2  	Each Party agrees, to the extent it is possible and predictable that an event under Subparagraphs 2.2.6 or 2.2.7 or any other liquidation procedure will occur, [***].
The obligations of this Subparagraph 5.1.2 are limited by any pledge or encumbrance of such Party’s Background. 

  

	 	5.1.3  	All rights, title and interest to Foreground, as well as to patents, patent applications and other intellectual property rights filed on or obtained hereunder in
relation to Foreground, but not before the execution of this Agreement, shall be jointly owned by Coskata and TPRF.

 15 










	 	5.1.4	It is understood and agreed between the Parties that TPRF is entitled to assign all or part of its rights, title and interest to Foreground to a TPRF Affiliate, [***],
being a [***] of the Total Group without prior approval of Coskata, provided, however, that TPRF shall cause such TPRF Affiliate to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to those rights, title and interest to Foreground
that are assigned to such TPRF Affiliate, including TPRF’s confidentiality and restricted use obligations. 

  

	5.2	Patents. 

  

	 	5.2.1	On the basis of proposal(s) made by the Technical Management Team, the Steering Committee shall decide whether to file a patent application directed towards any

	 	5.2.2	The Parties will work together, with TPRF or Coskata, depending on their expertise taking the lead as decided upon by the Steering Committee, to promptly prepare, file,
and prosecute any such patent application, with title to be put in the name of TPRF and Coskata while respecting the applicable rules of inventorship (without prejudice to the applicable rules, only the inventors who have made an inventive
contribution to the Foreground subject to the patent application will be designated as inventors in such application) and national requirements for inventors that file the first patent application for an invention outside of their country.


  

	 	5.2.3	The Parties shall work together to assure that such patent application(s) cover, to the reasonable knowledge of the Parties, all items of commercial interest and
importance for all the Parties, and, to that end, the Parties will make all reasonable efforts to ascertain that any such patent application containing such Foreground confers the most efficient and strong protection to the Parties.


  

	 	5.2.4	The Parties will split equally all direct third party costs (for examples patent office fees, translation fees, and national attorney fees) between TPRF and Coskata
incurred in connection with such preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of application(s) directed to Foreground. 

  

	 	5.2.5	The Steering Committee may decide for a given Foreground not to file or continue prosecuting or maintaining any patent and/or application; such decision should be duly
justified by particular technical, commercial or industrial reasons directed towards such Foreground. 

  

	 	5.2.6	In the case where there is not agreement within the Steering Committee to make an initial filing of a patent application directed towards Foreground, the Favorable
Party shall be free to file such an application at their own costs [***]. If the Favorable Party makes an election under this Subparagraph 5.2.6, and always subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the other Party will assign all
their ownership rights, title and interests to those particular patents or patent applications in such countries to the Favorable Party. 

  

	 	5.2.7	If the Steering Committee cannot decide whether or not to extend rights in a patent application directed to Foreground to additional jurisdictions, then the Favorable
Party shall be free to extend such rights at the Favorable Party’s sole expense. If the Favorable Party

makes an election under this Subparagraph 5.2.7, and always subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the other Party will assign all their rights, title and interests to those
particular patents or patent applications in such countries to the Favorable Party. [***]. 

  

	 	5.2.8	TPRF or Coskata shall not be prevented from or required to abandon any of their rights in patents or patent applications directed to Foreground. Provided however, that
a Party deciding to abandon such rights shall give the other Party at least two (2) months advance notice of its decision and the opportunity to acquire such rights to any such application or patent under reasonable conditions to be agreed upon
in writing. 

 Without prejudice to Subparagraph 5.1.4, if a Party decides to assign its ownership rights in
Foreground to a third party (other than TPRF Affiliates or Coskata Affiliates) other than as provided in Paragraph 13.5, it shall provide [***] to, and obtain the [***] before doing so, provided always that the other Party shall have [***] such
Foreground patents or patent application within [***]. The other Party’s [***] if not [***] within the [***]. Failing the [***] by the other Party, then the assignor Party shall be [***] on the Foreground patent or patent application to [***].
The conditions of the [***] shall not be [***] the third party assignee than the [***] to the other Party, it being understood that in no case can [***]. If according to any such other Party, the [***] of such rights and interest is not a [***]
considering [***] or the [***], by the [***] shall be designated by such Party and approved by the other Party [***]. 
 The
cost of registration of the assignment of the Foreground patent or patent application at the suitable patent office shall be borne by the third party assignee. This provision shall apply for each country separately. If patent protection is sought in
a country whose domestic law does not allow joint ownership of a Foreground patent, the Foreground patent will be registered in the name of one Party designated by the Steering Committee, subject to the execution of a contract between the Parties.
To take into account relevant laws concerning the payment to be done in favor of inventors employed by the Parties, each holder of a Foreground patent, resulting from the work as aforementioned covered under this Agreement, shall support these above
mentioned payments for its own employees. 
  

	5.3	Other. 

  

	 	5.3.1	In addition to or as an alternative to the filing of patents pursuant to Paragraph 5.2, any and all Foreground shall, as from its creation and thereafter, be
sufficiently and accurately documented or otherwise formalized by the Parties in order to enable such Parties to benefit, as far as legally possible but always subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from any other intellectual
property protection (such as, for instance, trade secret, copyright and database-right protection) directed towards such Foreground. 

  

	 	5.3.2	To the extent necessary for the implementation of the provisions under Subparagraphs 5.1.2 and 5.1.4 and Paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3, the Parties shall, and shall cause
their employees and contractors to, promptly provide or execute any documents, forms, declarations, oaths, powers of attorney, affidavits, confirmations, and/or assignments of rights, as may be required under the provision of any law, any regulation
or any

by the Parties pursuant to Paragraph 9.2. Coskata shall request the Steering Committee’s approval in case of any Significant Deviations (as defined in Appendix 1) from the Approved Package or changes to the Approved Licensing Conditions before
accepting them for a particular Licensee; such Steering Committee’s decision should be taken and made known in writing to Coskata within ten (10) working days after the request date. The absence of an answer by the Steering Committee or
any Party regarding this request within this ten-day period shall be deemed to constitute an approval made by the Steering Committee. 

  

	 	7.2.3	For the avoidance of any doubt, in the event a Licensee or Prospective Licensee desires to acquire a license, receive or use one or more rights or parts of Approved

Committee, (“Dispute”), TPRF and Coskata [***] to resolve the Dispute according to the following procedure (“Dispute Procedure”): 

  

	 	13.3.1	[***]. 

  

	 	13.3.2	TPRF and Coskata shall attempt to resolve any Dispute promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the Dispute and who are at a higher level
of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration or performance of this Agreement. 

  

	 	13.3.3	Any Dispute not resolved through negotiation in accordance with the previous paragraph, [***] the Dispute to arbitration in London of the London International Court of
Arbitration and all issues of interpretation and construction shall be resolved in accordance with English law. The Parties waive any defense based on sovereignty, including immunity to arbitration, immunity to judicial proceedings to enforce or to
aid any such arbitration, and immunity to enforcement and execution of the award or any judgment entered thereon. Each Party acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate to compensate for a breach of this Agreement. The arbitrator may
therefore award both monetary and equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and each Party may apply for interim or conservatory relief. The Parties undertake to keep strictly confidential the contents of the arbitral
proceedings. 

  

	13.4	This instrument constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and can only be amended by a written document signed by all Parties expressly stating that it is an

make such transfer or assignment to a TPRF Affiliate and Coskata may make such transfer or assignment to Coskata Affiliates or to the successor in interest to substantially all of Coskata’s business to which this Agreement relates. Coskata
shall promptly deliver to TPRF written notice of such transfer or assignment (which shall include the name of the successor). In the case of such an assignment, either Party shall assign their ownership interests in the Foreground to the assigned
entity. In the event of a transfer or assignment with an entity conducting similar activities in the oil, gas or chemical markets as TPRF or TPRF Affiliates and such entity’s market power is sufficient to conflict with an interest that TPRF or
TPRF Affiliates have in any such markets, then TPRF shall have the right but not the obligation to terminate this Agreement, without any liability, by providing written notice of termination to Coskata. 


 

	13.6	No waiver by Discloser of any default or breach of any obligation under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any continuing or future default or breach.


  

	13.7	Except if provided otherwise in this Agreement, none of the Parties shall have any obligation to enter into any further agreement, contract, or other business
relationship or arrangement with any other Party as a result of this Agreement. Further, and except if provided otherwise in this Agreement, this Agreement does not create any agency, joint venture or similar arrangement by or among the Parties
hereto. The Parties will be free to conduct their business and operations as they, in their sole discretion, determine including, without limitation, negotiating with and entering into agreements with any other person, but always subject to the
provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	13.8	If any of the provisions, or portions thereof, of this Agreement are found to be illegal or unenforceable, they are to that extent only to be deemed omitted, and the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and may be enforced to nonetheless protect and reflect the original intent of the Parties hereunder. 


 

	13.9	The rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be binding on the legal successors of the Parties. 


 

	13.10	No Party shall be required to perform any obligation under this Agreement whenever performance is prevented, impeded, delayed or made futile by factors outside the
reasonable control of any of the Parties including all events of Force Majeure, including, but not limited to, fires, floods, earthquakes, riots or civil commotion, lockouts, wars or hostilities, restraint of rulers, price controls, action or
inaction of any governmental entity, unavoidable disturbances to operation, Acts of God, civil commotion, epidemics, embargo, boycott or other occurrences beyond the reasonable control of the Parties. If such shall occur, the Parties shall be
excused from fulfilling their contractual obligations under this Agreement for the duration of the disturbance and to the extent of its consequences. As soon as there are indications that a case of Force Majeure is occurring, or if any Party is
prevented or delayed in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement by circumstances of Force Majeure, the affected Party shall inform the other in writing without delay and discuss with the other the consequences of such circumstances
and the measures to be taken. The Parties shall to the best of their ability make all reasonable efforts to avoid or limit any detrimental effects of any Force Majeure. The Parties shall resume performance as soon as reasonably possible.

	13.15	 None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed so as to require the commission of any act contrary to law, and the Parties agree that they
will comply with all applicable laws in conducting activities under this Agreement. In no event shall either TPRF or Coskata exercise its rights granted under this Agreement by re-transferring technology it has obtained from the other if such
exercise of rights will cause either TPRF or Coskata to violate applicable law. Upon written request from TPRF or Coskata to the other, TPRF and Coskata shall consult to determine whether planned disclosure or self-use activities are consistent with
this provision. Such activities 



  
 35 










	 	
may not be undertaken should a Party conclude, based on a reasonable interpretation of the applicable law, that the proposed activities are inconsistent with applicable law.

 Appendix 5: Royalty fee sharing 

Depending upon a decision of [***], having signed a detailed engineering, procurement and construction agreement to build [***] using the Foreground and
the required Background to be exploited by [***], the following royalty fee sharing will be applied, using the following definitions: 
  

	 	¡
 	 	 TJDAE ($) = TPRF’s JDA Expenditures: including all expenditures as described in section 4.1.2 and inflated on an annual basis via the
mechanism described below, paid to Coskata for the purpose of the IJDP or ADP, but excluding: 


  

	 	•	 	 TPRF’s internal expenditures related to employees of TPRF, involved in the conduction of the IJDP or ADP; 



 

	 	•	 	 [***]; and 


  

	 	•	 	 Any exclusivity payments made by TPRF as described in Section 7.7 and Appendix 7. 



 

	 	¡
 	 	 ALFPT ($) = Aggregate License Fee Payments to TPRF: is the sum of the net royalty fee sharing to TPRF, inflated on an annual basis via the
mechanism described below. 


 TJDAE will be inflated on an annual basis via the use of the Average Annual BLS Index according
to the following calculation: 
  

	 	TJDAE (as of end of Year X) =	Incremental TJDAE incurred during Year X + {TJDAE (as of end of Year X-1) * [Average Annual BLS Index Year X/Average Annual BLS Index Year X-1]}


 ALFPT will also be inflated on an annual basis in the same manner as TJDAE.
