1.2.                            Section 5.3(c) (as amended by Amendment No. 1) shall be amended and restated in its entirety with the following:

 

5.3(c)  Notwithstanding Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) and the milestone table above, and solely with respect to Licensed Products containing or incorporating miR-34:

 

(i) no Milestone Payment shall be payable by MirnaRx for (A) achievement of the Milestone Event in clause (i)(3) of the milestone table above, or (B) any Additional Indications pursuant to clause (ii)(1) of the milestone table above; and
