2.2               Mount Sinai and LifeMap will commence the Development Activities after the Effective Date of this Agreement. The Parties will use reasonable efforts to undertake the Development Activities substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, LifeMap acknowledges that Mount Sinai will have the freedom to conduct the Development Activities in a manner consistent with Mount Sinai’s educational and research missions.





 


2.3               If the services of the Principal Investigator become unavailable to Mount Sinai for any reason, Mount Sinai shall notify LifeMap and shall undertake reasonable efforts to designate [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] or another member of its faculty who is acceptable to both Parties to serve as the Principal Investigator of the Development Activities.  If a substitute Principal Investigator has not been designated within ninety (90) days after the original Principal Investigator ceases his or her services under this Agreement, LifeMap may request an additional ninety (90) days, which extension must be granted, to identify an acceptable replacement Mount Sinai faculty member to serve as Principal Investigator and which replacement shall not be unreasonably objected to by Mount Sinai.  During the extended search period, Mount Sinai may suspend its activities under this Agreement until a suitable replacement Principal Investigator has been identified and has agreed to take on the role of Principal Investigator, and Mount Sinai has agreed in writing to the new Principal Investigator.  The Parties agree nothing contained herein shall obligate Mount Sinai to cause any Mount Sinai faculty member to act as Principal Investigator against such faculty member’s wishes.  If a mutually acceptable replacement cannot be found within the foregoing time periods, only then may either Party terminate this Agreement upon written notice thereof to the other Party, subject to the provisions of Article 11.

2.4               The Parties acknowledge the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding direct-to-consumer patient genetic testing and that certain permit(s) and/or approval(s) may be necessary for such testing.  By way of non-limiting example, New York law, including N.Y. Pub. Health Law § 574, Article 5, Title V, prohibits direct-to-consumer genetic testing in New York State and testing of samples obtained in New York State.  As such, nothing contained herein, including the work outlined in the Development Activities, obligates Mount Sinai to sequence direct consumer patient biological samples in its New York State laboratory facilities or otherwise provide genetic testing for such direct-to-consumer patient samples in contravention of any applicable law. Should LifeMap desire Mount Sinai to sequence patient biological samples or otherwise provide genetic testing, the Parties will discuss, in good faith, potential avenues for Mount Sinai’s participation in such activities that comply with the letter and spirit of applicable law, should Mount Sinai be agreeable to such participation, which agreement shall be at its sole discretion.


 


2.5               Except to the extent reasonably agreed to by LifeMap, Mount Sinai shall use good faith efforts to avoid utilizing in the LMN Engine (i) any open source, free, community, or similar software, including any libraries or software licensed under the General Public License or any other license agreement or arrangement obliging a Party to make Source Code or object code available to third parties (collectively, “Open Source Code”) or (ii) any code that requires the use of any Open Source Code in order to function in its intended fashion.  Should Mount Sinai reasonably believe it needs to utilize such Open Source Code in the LMN Engine, it shall discuss in good faith with LifeMap such need and follow the processes specified by the LifeMap Chief Technology Officer, or other LifeMap officer, as appointed by the LifeMap Chief Technology Officer, prior to incorporating any such Open Source Code in the LMN Engine.

REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS; PAYMENT







 


4.1                LifeMap will provide funding to Mount Sinai to cover costs incurred by Mount Sinai in the conduct of the Development Activities in an initial amount totaling [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] Dollars as specified in the budget attached as Attachment B hereto, which is fully incorporated herein.  The budget in Attachment B provides for an overhead charge (indirect cost rate) by Mount Sinai of [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] percent ([*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]%) of the direct personnel salaries (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, payroll taxes and benefits) of the Mount Sinai personnel and materials to be utilized for the Development Activities.  The Parties acknowledge that Mount Sinai agrees to waive the first [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] Dollars (US$[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]) of such overhead charges (“Waived Funds”). Upon Mount Sinai’s request, LifeMap hereby agrees to provide written documentation to Mount Sinai that such Waived Funds are invested into LifeMap for the further development and commercialization of the LifeMap Navigator.  For clarity, if funding has been provided to Mount Sinai in the amount of [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] Dollars (US$[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]) and such amount has been paid in personnel and materials costs, the overhead charge would be [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] percent ([*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]%) of [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] Dollars (US$[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]) or [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] Dollars (US$[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]), which would be the maximum amount of the Waived Funds.  In consideration for Mount Sinai waiving its overhead charge (indirect cost rate) and enabling investment of the Waived Funds into LifeMap, should LifeMap exercise its option and the Parties enter into a definitive license agreement in accordance with Article 7 herein, LifeMap will pay to Mount Sinai a change of control fee as provided for in the definitive license agreement.  The Parties further acknowledge that the Mount Sinai prevailing overhead charge (indirect cost rate) will be applied to any funds provided to Mount Sinai in excess of [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]Dollars (US$[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]), to the extent used for direct personnel salaries (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, payroll taxes and benefits) of the Mount Sinai personnel and materials utilized to support the Development Activities.  LifeMap acknowledges that this total amount is a good faith estimate only and not a guarantee of the cost to conduct the Development Activities.  If at any time Mount Sinai determines that it will require additional funds for the Development Activities, it will notify LifeMap and provide an estimate of the additional amount necessary to continue the Development Activities.  LifeMap will not be liable for any costs in excess of the amounts set forth in Attachment B unless it has agreed in writing to provide additional funds.

The arbitrator shall be instructed to endeavor to complete the arbitration and issue an award within ninety (90) days following the initiation of the arbitration.  Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the mediator’s and/or arbitrator’s and administrative fees of mediation and/or arbitration.  Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor a mediator or arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any mediation or arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.





 


7.3                If LifeMap fails to execute a license agreement with Mount Sinai in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days following the completion of the mediation and, if applicable, arbitration processes contemplated by Section 7.2, Mount Sinai will be free to dispose of the exclusively optioned Mount Sinai Intellectual Property, its rights in the Code, Logic, and LMN Engine (including any EMR Data and/or LMN Components contained therein), and Mount Sinai Results and its rights in Joint Intellectual Property as Mount Sinai deems appropriate, without any further obligation to LifeMap.  Further, in such case, LifeMap will be free to dispose of the LifeMap Intellectual Property and LifeMap Results and its rights in Joint Intellectual Property as LifeMap deems appropriate, without any further obligation to Mount Sinai.


 


7.4                During the term hereof, neither Mount Sinai nor any Affiliate of Mount Sinai will knowingly enter into any agreement with a commercial third party with respect to activities that are within the Field of Use where such agreement would commit a Committed Participant to participate in such activities; provided, however ,that the Parties acknowledge and agree that a Committed Participant can recuse him/herself from the Development Activities at any time during the term hereof.  The Parties further acknowledge and agree that following such recusal, Mount Sinai is free to enter into any agreement with a commercial third party with respect to activities that are within the Field of Use where such agreement commits the recused Committed Participant to participate in such activities; provided that the recused Committed Participant will not utilize the Results in part or in whole for activities in the Field of Use with any commercial third party other than as may permitted under the definitive license agreement in accordance with Attachment E.


 


7.5                During the option and negotiation term hereof, neither Mount Sinai nor any Affiliate of Mount Sinai will seek to negotiate, enter into the negotiation of, or enter into, any agreement with a third party with respect to the subject matter of the proposed license terms and/or Mount Sinai Intellectual Property or Joint Intellectual Property that are subject to the exclusive license grant in accordance with Attachment E in the Field of Use.   For clarity, Mount Sinai is free at any time to seek to negotiate, enter into the negotiation of, or enter into, any agreement with a third party in respect to Mount Sinai Intellectual Property or Mount Sinai’s rights in Joint Intellectual Property that are subject to the non-exclusive license grant in accordance with Attachment E, including, Logic, LMN Components, and EMR Data.   For further clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Mount Sinai is free to use Logic, EMR Data, and/or LMN Components to build, by itself or with third parties, software systems capable of providing health analysis and relative risk assessment functions in the Field of Use to the extent it does not use any components that are, or are intended to be in accordance with the terms hereof (including for the avoidance of doubt Appendix E), exclusively licensed to, or owned by, LifeMap.

7.6               Any exclusive license granted to LifeMap pursuant to Article 7 hereof, will be subject to:  (a) [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]; (b) the retained rights of Mount Sinai to use such rights for academic research, teaching, and patient care purposes; and (c) as applicable, to the rights of the United States government reserved under Public Laws 96-517, 97-256 and 98-620, codified at 35 U.S.C. 200-212, and any regulations issued thereunder.


 


7.7               The Parties agree to discuss in good faith potential joint venture(s) with respect to any proposed venture(s) outside of the Field of Use utilizing Joint Intellectual Property and/or Mount Sinai Intellectual Property developed hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party is obligated to enter any further joint venture(s).

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION







 


8.1               “Confidential Information” means any business or technical information of either Party, including any information relating to either Party’s product plans, designs, clients, users, costs, finances, marketing plans, business opportunities, personnel, research, development or know-how, that is disclosed by or on behalf of one Party to the other during the term of this Agreement in connection with the Development Activities.  Confidential Information disclosed in tangible form shall be marked as “confidential” upon disclosure or, in the case of oral or other intangible disclosures, shall be summarized in a writing that is marked “confidential” and transmitted to the receiving Party within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days of the intangible disclosure, provided, however, that failure to so mark or summarize shall not alter the confidential status of such information if a reasonable person would recognize, by the content and/or context of such disclosure, that the disclosure was intended as confidential.  The Code, the LMN Engine, and Documentation shall be considered Confidential Information hereunder and held in strict confidence by the Parties; provided, however, LifeMap may disclose such information, subject to reasonable confidentiality provisions, or as otherwise reasonably appropriate, with respect to the development and commercialization of its products and services, including as covered by Mount Sinai’s rights as licensed in accordance with Attachment E.  For clarity, Mount Sinai shall be free to publish the LMN Components to the extent it complies with the provisions of Article 10 and does not publish the Code.  For the purposes of such publication, the LMN Components shall not be considered LifeMap Confidential Information.


 


8.2               The Parties may wish, from time to time, in connection with work for the Development Activities contemplated under this Agreement, to disclose its Confidential Information to each other.  Each Party shall use such other Party’s Confidential Information solely for the purpose of this Agreement and also use at least reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of any of the other Party’s Confidential Information to third parties during the term and after the termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years (or longer if provided for in the definitive license agreement), provided that the recipient Party’s obligations hereunder shall not apply to information that:  (a) is already in the recipient Party’s possession at the time of disclosure thereof as evidenced by written records; (b) is or later becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the recipient Party; (c) is received from a third party having no obligations of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or (d) is generated by the receiving Party independently of and without use of the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party as demonstrated by the receiving Party’s written or electronic records created contemporaneously with such independent development.  In addition, the receiving Party shall also be permitted to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent required by law, court order, or other governmental authority with jurisdiction, provided that the receiving Party promptly notifies the disclosing Party, to the extent legally permissible, with written notice of such requirement and cooperates, at the disclosing Party’s written request and expense, with the disclosing Party’s legal efforts to prevent or limit the scope of such required disclosure.

9.1              The Parties hereto hereby agree that all activities carried out hereunder, including, but not limited to all exchanges of materials and information made hereunder, shall comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and all effective amendments thereto and regulations promulgated thereunder (“HIPAA”), including with respect to PHI (“Protected Health Information”) as defined by HIPAA, as well as with all other applicable federal and state laws, regulations, and Mount Sinai policies.  Any PHI provided by either Party to the other shall be provided only with the prior written approval of Mount Sinai’s IRB (institutional review board).  Any PHI received by either Party in undertaking this Agreement shall be used and in all ways handled in accordance with HIPAA and all applicable laws and regulations, and in accordance with Mount Sinai internal requirements for handling PHI.  Both Parties will use appropriate safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosures of PHI.  Each Party will promptly report to the other Party any unauthorized disclosure of PHI in connection with this Agreement of which it becomes aware with adequate detail to allow the other Party to comply with applicable laws.  This Section will indefinitely survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

PUBLICATION, USE OF NAME







 


10.1             Mount Sinai and LifeMap recognize the traditional freedom of all scientists to publish and present promptly the results of the Development Activities.  Mount Sinai and LifeMap also recognize that exclusive patent rights can be jeopardized by public disclosure prior to the filing of suitable patent applications.  Therefore, Mount Sinai agrees that each proposed publication, before submission to a publisher, will be submitted to LifeMap; LifeMap will have [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days in which to review such proposed publication.  If within said [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] day period, LifeMap notifies the Principal Investigator in writing that the proposed publication includes LifeMap’s Confidential Information, specifically pointing out where such Confidential Information appears in the proposed publication, then the proposed publication shall not be submitted for publication or otherwise be publicly disclosed until Principal Investigator has removed such Confidential Information.  If within said same [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] day period, LifeMap requests in writing that Mount Sinai and Principal Investigator delay publication to allow for patent filing, then Mount Sinai and Principal Investigator will delay publication for up to [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days from the date of the initial submission of such proposed publication to LifeMap to permit patent application filing.  When requested by Mount Sinai in advance, LifeMap, at its discretion, may allow for simultaneous submission of the proposed publication to the publisher and LifeMap.  Scientists at both Mount Sinai and LifeMap will be expected to treat matters of authorship in a proper collaborative spirit, giving credit where it is due and proceeding in a manner that fosters cooperation and communication, but will not do anything in this regard that will jeopardize the issuance of a valid patent.  With respect to Joint Results, the Parties agree to publish jointly, provided, however, that if the Parties have not submitted a joint manuscript with respect to such Joint Results within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] months after completion of the Development Activities, then Mount Sinai may submit such manuscript for publication without including LifeMap authors, provided that Mount Sinai follows the review process set forth above.  In such event, for publication purposes, Joint Results, to the extent necessary for such publication as determined in the author’s reasonable discretion, shall not constitute LifeMap Confidential Information.



12







10.2             Mount Sinai will not use LifeMap’s name without LifeMap’s prior written consent except that Mount Sinai may acknowledge LifeMap’s funding of the Development Activities in scientific publications and in listings of sponsored research projects.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or a license agreement, LifeMap will not use Mount Sinai’s name, or the name of any trustee, officer, faculty member, student or employee thereof, for any purpose other than its performance hereunder, including but not limited to, any use in advertising or other promotional or sales literature or other publicity, or in any document used to attempt to obtain funds or financing through any public offering of any security, without the prior written approval of the Party or individual whose name is to be used, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.


 


10.3             Neither Party may publicly disclose the existence of this Agreement nor the transaction among the Parties contemplated hereunder until a public statement is released by the Parties in accordance with Section 10.4 publicizing the relationship between the Parties.





 


10.4            The Parties agree that the press release attached as Attachment F (the “Initial Press Release”) will be released by LifeMap and its ultimate parent company, BioTime, Inc. (“BioTime”), promptly after full execution of this Agreement but in any event no later than [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days thereafter.  Mount Sinai may concurrently issue a press release consistent with the content of the Initial Press Release or may jointly issue the Initial Press Release with LifeMap and BioTime.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required by law or regulation, BioTime may also file with the Securities and Exchange Commission one or more reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, disclosing this Agreement and the relationship of the Parties, which may include the filing of this Agreement as an exhibit thereto, subject to Section 10.5.  Subject to Section 10.5, the Parties agree to consult with each other before issuing any other press release or making any public statement with respect to this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or statement prior to obtaining the written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.





 


10.5             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, LifeMap, LifeMap Sciences or any parent company of LifeMap, including BioTime, shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement to the extent required under the securities or other disclosure laws and regulations of any country or state or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or electronic securities trading system.  If time permits, Mount Sinai will be given a reasonable opportunity to promptly review and comment on any planned public disclosure, other than disclosure that repeats or restates a prior public disclosure in its entirety that has been permitted by this Agreement but only under circumstances where intervening events have not caused such disclosure to become misleading or inaccurate.  If LifeMap, LifeMap Sciences, BioTime or any other parent company of LifeMap files a copy of this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any similar state or foreign regulatory agency as an exhibit to any registration statement, application, or report, it shall submit to such agency an application for confidential treatment seeking permission to redact from such filing competitively sensitive principal financial terms of this Agreement and the names of scientists included in this Agreement; provided, however, that LifeMap, LifeMap Sciences, BioTime or any other parent company of LifeMap may disclose financial terms of this Agreement in any such registration statement, application, or report to the extent it determines in good faith that doing so is necessary to make any statements contained therein not misleading.

TERMINATION










 


11.1             In addition to the termination right set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, either Party may terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice to the other Party, if the other Party breaches any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within ninety (90) days after receiving written notice thereof.  In the event of an incurable breach, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement effective upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice to the breaching Party.


 


11.2              Either Party may suspend its activities under this Agreement immediately upon receipt of a notice from a third party that its activities hereunder infringe such third party’s intellectual property rights; if such Party determines, in good faith, in its reasonable discretion after investigation of the claim of infringement, that there exists a likely infringement and determines that it cannot cure such breach within ninety (90) days or perform its obligations hereunder without engaging in such likely infringing activities, then such Party may terminate the Agreement immediately upon notice to the other Party.





 


11.3            Mount Sinai may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to LifeMap should any federal law require regulatory controls, compliance, or other protections for direct-to-consumer genetic testing that Mount Sinai is unable to reasonably comply with; provided that, if reasonable, Mount Sinai shall first cease the noncompliant services and/or activities; provided, further, that if LifeMap in its sole discretion, determines that ceasing the non-compliant activity would materially impact this Agreement, it may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days’ notice to Mount Sinai.  If any state requires regulatory controls, compliance, or other protections for direct-to-consumer genetic testing that Mount Sinai is unable to reasonably comply with, Mount Sinai may terminate services and/or activities with respect to such state.





 


11.4             Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time after the second anniversary hereof, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the non-terminating Party.


 


11.5             LifeMap may terminate this Agreement, at any time after the first anniversary hereof, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Mount Sinai if it determines that the LifeMap Navigator is not a commercially viable product.


 


11.6             In the event of termination of this Agreement prior to its stated term whether for breach or for any other reason whatsoever (including under Sections 11.4 and 11.5), Mount Sinai will be entitled to retain from the payments made by LifeMap prior to termination Mount Sinai’s reasonable costs of concluding the work in progress.  Allowable costs include, without limitation, all costs or non-cancellable commitments incurred prior to the receipt, or issuance, by Mount Sinai of the notice of termination, and the full cost of each student, staff member, and faculty member supported hereunder through the end of such commitments.  In the event of termination, Mount Sinai will submit a final report of all costs incurred and all funds received under this Agreement within sixty (60) days after the effective termination date.  The report will be accompanied by a check in the amount of any excess of funds advanced over costs and allowable commitments incurred.  Except in the case of an uncured material breach by Mount Sinai, in case of a deficit of funds, LifeMap will pay Mount Sinai the amount needed to cover costs and allowable commitments incurred by Mount Sinai under this Agreement for any further costs or non-cancellable commitments.


 


11.7            Termination of this Agreement will not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties accrued prior to termination hereof.  The provisions of ARTICLE 4, entitled REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS; PAYMENT; of ARTICLE 5, entitled RECORDS AND REPORTS; of ARTICLE 6, entitled INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; of ARTICLE 7, entitled OPTION; of ARTICLE 8, entitled CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; of ARTICLE 9, entitled HANDLING OF USER DATA BY MOUNT SINAI; of ARTICLE 10, entitled PUBLICATION; USE OF NAME; of subsections 11.6 and 11.7 of ARTICLE 11, entitled TERMINATION; of ARTICLE 12, entitled DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION; and subsections 13.3 – 13.12 of ARTICLE 13, entitled ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS, as well as the DEFINITIONS to the extent required to interpret such provisions, will survive such termination.

12.1            EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, EACH PARTY MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE CONDUCT, COMPLETION, SUCCESS OR PARTICULAR RESULTS, OR THE SCIENTIFIC OR COMMERCIAL VALUE OF THE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, OR THE CONDITION, OWNERSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR THE OUTCOME OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.

Any permitted assignment will not relieve LifeMap of responsibility for performance of any obligation of LifeMap that has accrued at the time of the assignment.  Any prohibited assignment will be null and void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, LifeMap shall be permitted to assign the definitive license agreement to LifeMap Sciences to the extent LifeMap and LifeMap Sciences will have fulfilled the obligations outlined under (a) and (b) above.

13.5             Nothing herein will be deemed to establish a relationship of principal and agent between the Parties, nor any of their agents or employees, nor will this Agreement be construed as creating any form of legal association or arrangement which would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party.

13.8             Neither Party will be liable for any failure to perform as required by this Agreement to the extent such failure to perform is due to circumstances reasonably beyond such Party’s control, including, without limitation, labor disturbances or labor disputes of any kind, accidents, failure of any governmental approval required for full performance, civil disorders or commotions, acts of aggression, acts of God, energy or other conservation measures imposed by law or regulation, explosions, failure of utilities, mechanical breakdowns, material shortages, disease, or other such occurrences.


 


13.9             Each Party will comply with all laws, regulations and other legal requirements applicable to it in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to any legal requirements applicable to its use of the Results or any of the other Party’s Intellectual Property Rights or Background Intellectual Property and laws controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes, and all other export controlled commodities.

Reports and Records

	
·         Royalty Reports:  Within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days after the end of each calendar quarter following first commercial sale or commercial licensing of a Licensed Product or Licensed Service, LifeMap will deliver to Mount Sinai a detailed report, certified by the chief financial officer of LifeMap, detailing the calculation of all royalties and fees due to Mount Sinai for such quarter.  The report will include, at a minimum:  (a) the number of Licensed Products or Licensed Services involved in sales, listed by product and by country; (b) gross consideration invoiced, billed or received for sales in such quarter; (c) Net Sales, listed by product or service and by country including an itemized list of all deductions permitted in the definition of Net Sales; (e) sublicense fees and other consideration received by LifeMap from Sublicensees, listed by product and by country; and (f) royalties and fees owed to Mount Sinai, listed by category, by product or service, and by country.


·        Development Reports:  LifeMap will provide Mount Sinai annually with detailed written progress reports discussing the development, evaluation, testing, and commercialization of all Licensed Products or Licensed Services and development plans for the upcoming year.  Within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days of receipt of such development report, Mount Sinai can request additional information and clarification and LifeMap shall provide to Mount Sinai a revised development report addressing Mount Sinai’s request for additional information and clarification within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days of Mount Sinai’s request.


·        Records:  LifeMap will maintain, and will cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate books and records to verify Net Sales, and all of the royalties, fees, and other payments payable under the definitive license Agreement.  The records for each calendar quarter will be maintained for at least [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] years after the calendar quarter to which they pertain.


·        Audit Rights:  Upon reasonable prior written notice to LifeMap, LifeMap and its Affiliates and Sublicensees will provide Mount Sinai and its accountants with access to all of the books and records required by the definitive license agreement to conduct a review or audit of all of the royalties, fees, and other payments payable under the definitive license agreement.  Access will be made available:  (a) during normal business hours; (b) in a manner reasonably designed to facilitate Mount Sinai’s review or audit without unreasonable disruption to LifeMap’s business; and (c) no more than once each calendar year during the term of the definitive license agreement and for a period of [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] years thereafter.  LifeMap will promptly pay to Mount Sinai the amount of any underpayment determined by the review or audit plus accrued interest unless such amount is subject to a good faith dispute, which dispute shall be settled in accordance with the dispute resolution process.  If the review or audit determines that LifeMap has underpaid any royalty payment by [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] percent ([*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]%) or more, then LifeMap will also promptly pay the costs and expenses of Mount Sinai and its accountants in connection with the review or audit.  [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] an independent audit of all of the royalties, fees, and other payments payable under the definitive license agreement.  Promptly after completion of the audit, LifeMap will provide to Mount Sinai a copy of the report of the independent auditors.








39








	
Sublicensee and Distributor

	
A “Sublicensee” shall be any third party (other than end users or Affiliates) granted the right by LifeMap to develop, use, make, sell, offer for sale, or import Licensed Products or Licensed Service or otherwise make use of, monetize, and/or exploit the Patent Rights, Mount Sinai Technical Information, Logic, LMN Components, and/or Mount Sinai Background Intellectual Property.


 


A “Distributor” shall be any third party (other than end users or Affiliates) granted the right by LifeMap to distribute, sell, import or offer for sale Licensed Products or Licensed Service.  For clarity, a Distributor shall not be granted the right by LifeMap to develop, use, or make Licensed Products or Licensed Service or otherwise make use of, monetize, and/or exploit the Patent Rights, Mount Sinai Technical Information, Logic, LMN Components, and/or Mount Sinai Background Intellectual Property.


 


For clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the term “sublicense” or “sublicense agreement,” as used in the definitive license agreement, shall mean any license by and between LifeMap and a Sublicensee or Distributor under which LifeMap grants to such Sublicensee or Distributor the rights outlined above and such “sublicense” will be subject to the “Sublicensing Obligations” and the “Sublicensing Revenue”, as applicable to whether such “sublicense” is to a Sublicensee or a Distributor in accordance with the terms of the definitive license agreement as outlined herein.








40








	
Sublicensing Obligations

	
(a)    LifeMap will submit to Mount Sinai the intended sublicense agreement with a Sublicensee or Distributor as negotiated prior to execution.  For the avoidance of doubt, as end users are not considered “Sublicensees” under the definitive license agreement, web, online, end user, shrinkwrap or other similar agreements (collectively “User Agreements”) need not be provided to Mount Sinai.


(b)    Within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] working days of the date LifeMap provides such intended sublicense agreement to Mount Sinai, Mount Sinai will notify LifeMap in writing of any clauses of such intended sublicense agreement that Mount Sinai can demonstrate do not comply with the definitive license agreement.  All clauses that are consistent with the definitive license agreement shall be considered approved.  If Mount Sinai notifies LifeMap of clauses that do not comply with the definitive license agreement, LifeMap will negotiate with the potential Sublicensee based on such notification by Mount Sinai; provided that, if LifeMap disagrees with Mount Sinai’s interpretation, any such disagreement shall be resolved based upon mutual discussions, but to the extent such disagreement cannot be resolved, such dispute shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions.  If LifeMap can demonstrate that Mount Sinai properly received the draft sublicense agreement under the terms of the definitive license agreement and Mount Sinai does not provide LifeMap notice within the aforementioned term, then LifeMap may consider all clauses in the sublicense approved by Mount Sinai.  Mount Sinai, however, at its sole discretion, will have the right to approve sublicenses with conditions different from those set forth in the definitive license agreement, as long as the approval is provided in writing.


(c)    Within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days after LifeMap enters into a sublicense agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, other than a User Agreement where such delivery is not necessary), LifeMap will deliver to Mount Sinai a complete and accurate copy of the entire executed sublicense agreement in the English language.  If the original sublicense agreement is not in the English language, then LifeMap will provide Mount Sinai with a true certified translation copy in the English language.  Mount Sinai’s receipt of the sublicense agreement, however, will constitute neither an approval of the sublicense nor a waiver of any right of Mount Sinai or obligation of LifeMap under the definitive Agreement.


(d)    [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]


(e)    LifeMap’s execution of a sublicense agreement will not relieve LifeMap of any of its obligations under the definitive license agreement.  LifeMap is primarily liable to Mount Sinai for any act or omission of a Sublicensee or Distributor of LifeMap that would be a breach of the definitive license agreement if performed or omitted by LifeMap, and LifeMap will be deemed to be in breach of the definitive license agreement as a result of such act or omission.


(f)    In the event that LifeMap causes or experiences a bankruptcy or insolvency event (as shall be further defined in the definitive license agreement), all payments due to LifeMap from its Sublicensees or Distributor under the sublicense agreement will, upon notice from Mount Sinai to such Sublicensee or Distributor, become payable directly to Mount Sinai for the account of LifeMap.  Upon receipt of any such funds, Mount Sinai will remit to LifeMap the amount by which such payments exceed the amounts owed by LifeMap to Mount Sinai.








41








	
Sublicensing Revenue

	
LifeMap will pay Mount Sinai the following percentages of all consideration, based on timing of Sublicensing, other than running royalties or an advancement payment creditable against future Net Sales (“Royalty Advance”) received by LifeMap from Sublicensees, and/or Distributors, within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days of receipt of such consideration.  Any non-cash consideration received by LifeMap from such Sublicensees and/or Distributor will be valued at its fair market value as of the date of receipt.


 


For sublicenses to Sublicensees:


[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]


 


For sublicenses Distributors:


[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]


 


For further clarity, royalties shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the definitive license agreement for all Net Sales by a Sublicensee and/or Distributor as if it were Company.


 


The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Royalty Advance received by Company from a Sublicensee and/or Distributor shall be subject to Company’s Running Royalty obligation


	
Compelled Sublicensing

	
In the event that at any time [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] or more years after the effective date of the definitive license agreement Mount Sinai is given a written offer by an entity to license the Patent Rights or Technical Information to develop and commercialize a Licensed Product or Licensed Service in the Field of Use that is not being developed or commercialized by LifeMap (an “Underdeveloped Indication”), then the rights to develop such Licensed Product or Licensed Service for such Undeveloped Indication shall automatically revert to Mount Sinai unless LifeMap, within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days of the date Mount Sinai provides LifeMap with a written notice identifying such entity and describing in reasonable detail such written offer, either (a) offers a sublicense to such entity for such Undeveloped Indication on reasonable commercial terms; or (b) presents to Mount Sinai a credible development plan reasonably acceptable to Mount Sinai acting in good faith to pursue development of such Licensed Product for such Undeveloped Indication and begins to execute that plan.








42








	
Change of Control Fee

	
LifeMap will pay Mount Sinai certain percentages, as outlined below, of the then current equity value of LifeMap at the time of a Significant Transaction.  The term “Significant Transaction” means the first to occur of a single transaction, or series of related transactions, consisting of or resulting in any of the following:  (i) an assignment, other than to LifeMap Sciences, of the definitive license agreement; (ii) an initial public offering of securities by LifeMap (or its successor) or other transaction resulting in any of LifeMap’s securities being traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange or automated quotation system; (iii) a sale, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of LifeMap’s assets; or (iv) a reorganization, consolidation or merger of LifeMap, or sale or transfer of the securities of LifeMap, where the holders of LifeMap’s outstanding voting securities before the transaction beneficially own less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities, or hold less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the voting security holders of the surviving entity after the transaction.  Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, a Significant Transaction shall not be deemed to occur as a result of a bona fide, arm’s-length equity financing for cash in which LifeMap issues securities (other than through an initial public offering described in clause (ii) above) representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of its security holders to venture capital or other similar professional investors who do not actively manage day-to-day operations of LifeMap.  Payment shall be made to Mount Sinai within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days of such Significant Transaction.


 


 


Up to five percent (5%) Change of Control Fee in exchange for the investment in LifeMap in the form of Waived Funds as provided under the co-development and option agreement where such Change of Control Fee is calculated as follows:


 


[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]


 


Where CoCF is the percentage due to Mount Sinai of the then equity value of LifeMap at the time of the Significant Transaction; and


 


Where WF is the cumulative total of Waived Funds actually waived prior to the Significant Transaction, not to exceed [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]


 


Where x is the dilution fraction.


 


The dilution percentage will be calculated based on the total amounts invested in LifeMap to fund development of Licensed Products and based on the pre money valuations of each investment round. The Mount Sinai dilution will be equal to the dilution for the majority shareholder in the initial $[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] investment round. The following example is used to clarify the calculation:  a second investment round of $[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] with a pre money valuation of $[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] and a third investment round of $[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] with a pre money valuation of $[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] takes place.  The value of “x” will then be based on $[*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]% for the second round, and a further [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]% for third round such that CoCFA will be equal to [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission]%.








43








	
No Warranty

	
Subject to the following, the Patent Rights, Technical Information, Logic, and Background Intellectual Property are provided on an “as is” basis, and each Party makes no representations or warranties, express or implied.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, EACH PARTY MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE CONDUCT, COMPLETION, SUCCESS OR PARTICULAR RESULTS, OR THE SCIENTIFIC OR COMMERCIAL VALUE OF THE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, OR THE CONDITION, OWNERSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR THE OUTCOME OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH PARTY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS SHALL RESULT FROM THE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, THAT THE SCOPE OF ANY PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT MAY RESULT THEREFROM WILL COVER THE OTHER PARTY’S INTERESTS, OR THAT ANY SUCH PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS SHALL BE FREE OF DOMINANCE BY OTHER PATENTS, INCLUDING PATENTS BASED UPON INVENTIONS MADE BY OTHER INVENTORS AT SUCH PARTY INDEPENDENTLY OF THE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.  EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A BREACH  OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, EACH PARTY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON RESULTING FROM THE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES OR THE USE OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PRODUCT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, (i) EACH PARTY HERETO REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS NO ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE THAT ANY OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS TO BE UTILIZED HEREUNDER INFRINGE THE ACTIVITIES OF ANY THIRD PARTIES AND AGREES THAT IN UNDERTAKING THE OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN IT SHALL NOT KNOWINGLY INFRINGE ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; AND (ii) MOUNT SINAI  AGREES THAT IN ITS PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER IT SHALL NOT MAKE ANY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THAT REQUIRE ANY MOUNT SINAI BACKGROUND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR OTHER MOUNT SINAI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT ARE NOT LICENSED HEREUNDER.








44








	
Indemnification

	
LifeMap will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mount Sinai from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, action, claim or expense that results from or arises out of:  (a) the development, use, manufacture, promotion, sale or other disposition of any Licensed Products or Licensed Services by LifeMap or Sublicensees or other third parties, including end users, except as a result of, or to the extent caused by, the action or inaction of Mount Sinai; and (b) any breach by LifeMap or its Sublicensees of the definitive license agreement.


	
Insurance

	
LifeMap will procure and maintain policies of insurance, including [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission].   Each policy shall be written on an occurrence basis and shall name Mount Sinai as additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis.


	
Legal Jurisdiction and Venue

	
The definitive license agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to any choice or conflict of laws.  Any suit to enforce the agreement will be brought in the federal or state courts located in the State of New York.


	
Non-Use of Name

	
Except as otherwise provided in Article 10 of the Agreement, neither Party, nor its employees and agents will use the other Party’s name, seal, logo, trademark, or service mark, or any adaptation thereof, or the name, mark, or logo of the other Party in any way, except as may be required by applicable law, without the prior written consent of the other Party whose name is to be used.  If Mount Sinai uses the Developed Intellectual Property outside the Field of Use, it will give credit as appropriate regarding LifeMap’s involvement in the creation of such Developed Intellectual Property.








45








	
Assignment

	
LifeMap may assign the definitive license agreement or substantially all of the license agreement, either directly or by merger or operation of law, without the prior written consent of Mount Sinai, as long as:  (a) at least [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days before the proposed transaction, LifeMap gives Mount Sinai written notice and such background information as may be reasonably necessary to enable Mount Sinai to give an informed consent; (b) the assignee agrees in writing to be legally bound by this Agreement; and (c) the assignee agrees to deliver to Mount Sinai an updated business development plan within [*Certain information has been omitted under a request for confidential treatment, and the omitted information has been filed with the Commission] days after the closing of the proposed transaction.  Any permitted assignment will not relieve LifeMap of responsibility for performance of any obligation of LifeMap that has accrued at the time of the assignment.  Any prohibited assignment will be null and void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, LifeMap shall be permitted to assign the definitive license agreement to LifeMap Sciences to the extent LifeMap and LifeMap Sciences will have fulfilled the obligations outlined under (a) and (b) above.


	
Global Social Responsibility

	
LifeMap and Mount Sinai shall take into consideration the principle of “Global Social Responsibility” when executing the full license agreement. “Global Social Responsibility” means facilitating the availability of Licensed Products in Developing Countries (i.e., The World Bank’s listing of “Low Income Economies”) at locally affordable prices to improve access to such Licensed Products or Licensed Services in Developing Countries.


	
Additional Terms

	
Additional terms to be negotiated in good faith include, without limitation, termination, payment/interest, infringement obligations, confidentiality obligations, and miscellaneous legal provisions (independent contractor language, legal compliance, waivers, notices, severability, dispute resolution, etc.).

LifeMap Solutions will be responsible for developing the entire technology platform, including server and client components. However, both parties will participate in the planning and development of all aspects of the integrated software system.







The initial financing tranche for LifeMap Solutions will be provided to LifeMap Sciences by BioTime through the purchase of additional shares of LifeMap Sciences common stock. BioTime may acquire additional LifeMap Sciences common stock for cash or in exchange for BioTime common shares when product development milestones are met and if funding is not provided through other sources. Additionally, Mount Sinai will defray a portion of the initial development cost of the project by providing services of its personnel and use of its facilities at a reduced cost.







“The creation of LifeMap Solutions represents a strategic step along BioTime’s path towards extending LifeMap’s leadership in online genomic and medical information,” said Dr. Michael West, CEO of BioTime. “We share with Dr. Schadt a vision of new products and services designed to markedly enhance the public’s access to big data and to improve quality of life.”


 


Corey Bridges, a Silicon Valley veteran, will serve as LifeMap Solutions’ Chief Executive Officer. Over the past two decades, Mr. Bridges has overseen the market introductions of several innovative technology companies, including Netflix, Inc., Zone Labs, and The Multiverse Network, Inc. A pre-IPO employee at Netscape, he launched several ground-breaking Internet products internationally, and years later launched James Cameron’s CAMERON | PACE Group in China and Europe.







About BioTime, Inc.







BioTime is a biotechnology company engaged in research and product development in the field of regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine refers to therapies based on stem cell technology that are designed to rebuild cell and tissue function lost due to degenerative disease or injury. BioTime’s focus is on pluripotent stem cell technology based on human embryonic stem (“hES”) cells and induced pluripotent stem (“iPS”) cells. hES and iPS cells provide a means of manufacturing every cell type in the human body and therefore show considerable promise for the development of a number of new therapeutic products. BioTime’s therapeutic and research products include a wide array of proprietary PureStem® progenitors, HyStem® hydrogels, culture media, and differentiation kits. BioTime is developing ReneviaTM (a HyStem® product) as a biocompatible, implantable hyaluronan and collagen-based matrix for cell delivery in human clinical applications. In addition, BioTime has developed Hextend®, a blood plasma volume expander for use in surgery, emergency trauma treatment and other applications. Hextend® is manufactured and distributed in the U.S. by Hospira, Inc. and in South Korea by CJ CheilJedang Corporation under exclusive licensing agreements. BioTime is also developing stem cell and other products for research, therapeutic, and diagnostic use through its subsidiaries:
