a contract research organization acting strictly on behalf of Licensee, contract manufacturing organization or other like organization
acting strictly on behalf of Licensee where such sublicense does not include the right to sell Licensed Products shall be deemed not to

Licensee, to terminate this Agreement or convert the grant of rights hereunder from exclusive to non-exclusive, without any change in

4.4            Stock
Grant. COH acknowledges that it received 228,184 common units of Parent in exchange for [**] shares of Licensee’s Common
Stock that had been issued to COH in connection with execution of the Original Agreement.


 


4.5            Diligence
Milestone Payments. Within [**] of the occurrence of each “Diligence Milestone Event” set forth below,
for each of the first three Licensed Products or Licensed Services to reach the applicable Diligence Milestone Event, whether achieved
by Licensee, its Affiliate (excluding Designated Affiliates) or a Sublicensee, Licensee shall pay COH or its designee the amount indicated
below for each Licensed Product or Licensed Service reaching the applicable Diligence Milestone Event.


 


	Diligence Milestone Event	Amount Due
	[**]	[**]
	[**]	[**]
	[**]	[**]
	[**]	[**]
	[**]	[**]


 


In the event that any Diligence Milestone Event
is met with respect to any of the first three Licensed Products or Licensed Services prior to the satisfaction of any prior Diligence
Milestone Event with respect to the same Licensed Product or Licensed Service, then Licensee shall also pay the amount due for occurrence
of all prior Diligence Milestone Events not previously paid upon meeting the applicable Diligence Milestone Event [**].


 


For
the sake of clarity, Diligence Milestone Payments made to COH by all Designated Affiliates acting under Designated Affiliate Agreements
shall be taken into account in determining whether Licensee has satisfied its obligation to make Diligence Milestone Payments to COH for
the first three Licensed Products or Licensed Services to reach the applicable Diligence Milestone Event.


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, each Diligence Milestone Payment set forth in the table above shall not be due more than once per biological target (hence
Diligence Milestone Payments are not due on back-up molecules advanced by Licensee or Sublicensee until such back-up molecule has advanced
to a Diligence Milestone Event not previously attained by a molecule previously being developed by Licensee or its Sublicensees acting
at the same biological target and for which the applicable Diligence Milestone Payment has already been paid).


 


4.6            Royalties.
Licensee shall pay to COH or its designee royalties in an amount equal to:

4.6.1         [**]%)
percent of annual Net Sales of Licensed Products and Licensed Services up to and including $[**] in annual aggregate Net Sales;


 


4.6.2         [**]%)
percent of annual Net Sales of Licensed Products and Licensed Services that exceed $[**] in annual aggregate Net Sales;


 


Royalties shall be paid on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed
Product, Licensed Service-by-Licensed Service and country-by-country basis until the expiration in each country of the last to expire
of the Valid Claims in such country Covering Licensed Products or Licensed Services, as the case may be.


 


4.7            Sublicense
Revenues. Licensee shall pay to COH:


 


4.7.1         The
applicable percentage share of all Sublicense Revenues given in Section 4.7.2 below in connection with the grant of a sublicense
of the Patent Rights to a Sublicensee, in each case, within [**] after payment is received from the relevant Sublicensee.


 


4.7.2         If
the sublicense grant to the Sublicensee occurs [**], then [**]%. If the sublicense grant to the Sublicensee occurs [**], then [**]%. If
the sublicense grant to the Sublicensee occurs [**], then [**]%. If the sublicense grant to the Sublicensee occurs [**], then [**]%.


 


4.7.3         If
Sublicense Revenues are not in cash or cash equivalents, the percentage share payable to COH pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be
due, in the form received by Licensee, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. In the event that COH requests to be paid the applicable
percentage share of Sublicense Revenues in the form of a cash equivalent, Licensee shall reasonably consider such request, taking into
consideration its ability to pay such amounts at such time.


 


4.8            Royalty
Offsets. If, [**] it is necessary to pay to a Third Party other than a Sublicensee consideration (whether in the form of a royalty
or otherwise) for the right to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale or import a specific Licensed Product or specific Licensed Service
in a given jurisdiction, and if the aggregate royalty rates of any and all royalties payable to such Third Party licensors when combined
with the royalty rate payable to COH exceeds [**] percent ([**]%) in the case of Net Sales of the specific Licensed Product or specific
Licensed Service, then Licensee shall have the right with respect to any period for which royalties are due (i.e., a calendar quarter
or calendar year) to set off [**]%) percent of the aggregate royalties otherwise payable with respect to such period and such jurisdiction
to such Third Party licensors against royalties that would otherwise be due to COH hereunder with respect to such period and jurisdiction;
provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the royalty offsets permitted in this Section 4.8 result in the
reduction of the effective adjusted royalty rate in any period for which payment is due and in any jurisdiction pursuant to Section 4.6,
above, be less than [**]%) percent of Net Sales).


 


4.9            Timing
of Royalty Payments. Royalty payments due under Section 4.6, above, shall be paid [**] within [**] in which aggregate Net
Sales across all Licensed Products and Licensed Services reach $[**]. Thereafter, all royalty payments due under Section 4.6 shall
be paid [**], within [**].

EXECUTION COPY



 


4.10          No
Deductions from Payments. Subject to Section 4.7 above, Licensee is solely responsible for payment of any fee, royalty or
other payment due to any Third Party not a Sublicensee in connection with the research, development, manufacture, distribution, use, sale,
import or export of a Licensed Product or Licensed Service and except as set forth in Section 4.8 above, Licensee shall not have
the right to set off any amounts paid to such a Third Party, including fee, royalty or other payment, against any amount payable to COH
hereunder.


 


4.11          Single
Royalty. Only a single royalty payment shall be due and payable on Net Sales of a Licensed Product or performance of a Licensed
Service, regardless if such Licensed Product or Licensed Service is Covered by more than one Valid Claim.


 


4.12          Payments
Under Single License Only. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or in the other license agreement of even date herewith
between the Parties to the contrary, (i) Research Expenses shall be aggregated across both such license agreements and include expense
within the defined parameters incurred by Licensee, Sublicensees and their respective Affiliates, (ii) diligence milestone payments
and royalties for a given Licensed Product or Licensed Services shall be payable only once across both such license agreements, and (iii) the
sublicense revenue share (under Section 4.7) shall be payable only once if a sublicense is granted under each such license agreement
to a single Sublicensee.


 


4.13          Research
Funding. On the Original Effective Date, Licensee and COH with Dr. Williams, as the principal investigator, entered into
the sponsored research agreement (the “Research Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit B.


 


ARTICLE 5: REPORTS, AUDITS AND FINANCIAL
TERMS


 


5.1            Royalty
Reports. Within [**] after [**] in which a royalty payment under Article 4 is required to be made, Licensee shall send to
COH a report of Net Sales of the Licensed Products and Licensed Services for which a royalty is due, which report sets forth for such
[**] the following information, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, Licensed Service-by-Licensed Service and country-by-country
basis: (i) total Net Sales, (ii) total gross sales of Licensed Products and Licensed Services, (iii) the quantity of each
Licensed Products sold and Licensed Services performed, (iv) the exchange rate used to convert Net Sales from the currency in which
they are earned to United States dollars; and (v) the total royalty payments due.


 


5.2            Additional
Financial Terms.


 


5.2.1         Currency.
All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars, unless expressly specified to the contrary herein.
Net Sales outside of the United States shall be first determined in the currency in which they are earned and shall then be converted
into an amount in United States dollars. All currency conversions shall use the conversion rate reported by Reuters, Ltd. on the
last Business Day of the calendar quarter for which such payment is being determined.

Method. Amounts due under this Agreement shall be paid in immediately available funds, by means of wire transfer to an account
identified by COH.

EXECUTION COPY



 


5.2.3         Withholding
of Taxes. Licensee may withhold from payments due to COH amounts for payment of any withholding tax that is required by law to
be paid to any taxing authority with respect to such payments. Licensee shall provide to COH all relevant documents and correspondence,
and shall also provide to COH any other cooperation or assistance on a reasonable basis as may be necessary to enable COH to claim exemption
from such withholding taxes and to receive a full refund of such withholding tax or claim a foreign tax credit. Licensee shall give COH
proper evidence from time to time as to the payment of such tax. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in seeking deductions under
federal and state tax laws and any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force.


 


5.2.4         Late
Payments. Any amounts not paid on or before the date due under this Agreement are subject to interest from the date due through
and including the date upon which payment is received. Interest is calculated, over the period between the date due and the date paid,
at a rate equal to [**] percentage point ([**]%) over the “bank prime loan” rate, as such rate is published in the U.S. Federal
Reserve Bulletin H.15 or successor thereto on the last Business Day of the applicable calendar quarter prior to the date on which such
payment is due.


 


5.2.5         Blocked
Currency. If, at any time, legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all royalties with respect to any country
where a Licensed Product is sold or Licensed Service provided, payment shall be made through such lawful means or methods as Licensee
may determine. When in any country, the law or regulations prohibit both the transmittal and deposit of royalties or other payments, Licensee
shall continue to report all such amounts, but may suspend payment for as long as such prohibition is in effect. As soon as such prohibition
ceases to be in effect, all amounts that would have been obligated to be transmitted or deposited but for the prohibition, together with
accrued interested thereon, shall promptly be transmitted to COH.


 


5.3            Accounts
and Audit.


 


5.3.1         Records.
Licensee shall keep, and shall require that each Sublicensee keep, full, true and accurate books of account containing the particulars
of, as the case may be, its Research Expenses, Net Sales and the calculation of royalties. Licensee and its Sublicensees shall each keep
such books of account and the supporting data and other records at its principal place of business. Such books and records must be maintained
available for examination in accordance with this Section 5.3.1 for [**] after the end of the calendar year to which they pertain,
and otherwise as reasonably required to comply with GAAP.


 


5.3.2         Appointment
of Auditor. COH may appoint an internationally-recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Licensee to inspect
the relevant books of account of Licensee and its Sublicensees to verify any Research Expenses, to the extent relied upon by Licensee
to achieve a Diligence Milestone, reports or statements provided, or amounts paid or invoiced (as appropriate), by Licensee or its Sublicensees.


 


5.3.3         Procedures
for Audit. COH may exercise its right to have Licensee’s and its Sublicensees’ relevant records examined only during
the [**] period during which Licensee is required to maintain records, no more than [**]. Licensee and its Sublicensees are required to
make records available for inspection only during regular business hours, only at such place or places where such records are customarily
kept, and only upon receipt of at least [**] advance notice from COH.

EXECUTION COPY



 


5.3.4         Audit
Report. The independent accountant will be instructed to provide to COH an audit report containing only its conclusions and methodology
regarding the audit, and specifying whether the amounts paid were correct or the Research Expenses incurred were correctly reported in
connection with the achievement of a Diligence Milestone, and, if incorrect, the amount of any underpayment, any overpayment or any Research
Expenses incorrectly reported.


 


5.3.5         Underpayment
and Overpayment. After review of the auditor’s report: (i) if there is an uncontested underpayment by Licensee for
all of the periods covered by such auditor’s report, then Licensee shall pay to COH the full amount of that uncontested underpayment,
and (ii) if there is an uncontested overpayment for such periods, then COH shall provide to Licensee a credit against future payments
(such credit equal to the full amount of that overpayment), or, if Licensee is not obligated to make any future payments, then COH shall
pay to Licensee the full amount of that overpayment. Contested amounts are subject to dispute resolution under Article 12. If the
total amount of any such underpayment (as agreed to by Licensee or as determined under Article 12) exceeds [**]%) percent of the
amount previously paid by Licensee for the period subject to audit, then Licensee shall pay the reasonable costs for the audit. Otherwise,
all costs of the audit shall be paid by COH.


 


ARTICLE 6: LICENSEE COVENANTS


 


6.1            Licensee
covenants and agrees that in conducting activities contemplated under this Agreement, it shall comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and regulations including, without limitation, those related to the manufacture, use, labeling importation and marketing
of Licensed Products and Licensed Services.


 


ARTICLE 7:
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; PATENT PROSECUTION, MAINTENANCE AND ENFORCEMENT.


 


7.1            Patent
Prosecution, Maintenance and Enforcement.


 


(a)            As
of the Original Effective Date, Licensee assumed and became responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all
Patent Rights in the name of COH at Licensee’s own expense, using Licensee counsel reasonably acceptable to COH. Licensee will timely
provide COH with copies of all relevant documentation relating to such prosecution and COH shall keep such information confidential. Licensee’s
counsel shall take instructions only from Licensee and COH’s counsel shall take instructions only from COH.


 






    15


     


    

 


EXECUTION COPY



 


(b)            Promptly
following the end of each [**] or upon request of COH, Licensee will provide COH with an update and details regarding the filing, prosecution
and maintenance status of the Patent Rights. Licensee shall provide COH with drafts of all proposed filings (including, without limitation,
the initial application as well as any material correspondence related to any filings) in a manner that allows COH a reasonable opportunity
to review and comment before any such filing is made or due but in no event, except when impossible, less than [**] prior to any filing
deadline. Licensee will consider all of, and incorporate to the extent commercially reasonable for Licensee’s conduct of its business,
COH’s suggestions, recommendations and instructions concerning the preparation, filing, prosecution, defense and maintenance of
the Patent Rights (including without limitation any suggestion or recommendation to alter or expand or limit the scope, content and/or
claims of any such application), and, to the extent otherwise possible, will undertake the preparation, filing, prosecution and defense
of the Patent Rights in a way that is intended to reasonably optimize the scope and enforceability of the Patent Rights. COH shall cooperate
with Licensee in the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Patent Rights by disclosing such information as may be necessary
and by promptly executing such documents as Licensee may request to effect such efforts. COH shall secure, and upon request provide to
Licensee, assignments from all employees and other individuals necessary to grant the rights, licenses and privileges granted in this
Agreement. The aforementioned provisions of this subparagraph are collectively the “Cooperation Provisions”. For clarity,
(i) Licensee may not use cost or expense as a basis to deem any proposed COH claim or application commercially unreasonable, provided
COH is willing to bear any increased cost or expense, in which case Licensee shall not be entitled to the benefits of any such claim or
application unless COH’s costs are reimbursed and (ii) if Licensee deems any COH claim or application commercially unreasonable
due to cost or expense, COH shall be entitled to require Licensee to file continuation, divisional or other independent applications to
be prosecuted and maintained by COH at its cost and expense independent of Licensee and which shall be outside the scope of the rights
licensed pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(c)            Licensee
will not unreasonably refuse to amend any patent application in the Patent Rights to include claims reasonably requested by COH to protect
the products contemplated to be sold by Licensee under this Agreement.


 


(d)            Each
Party shall promptly provide written notice to the other in the event it becomes aware of any actual or probable infringement of any of
the Patent Rights in or relevant to the Field or of any Third Party claim regarding the enforceability or validity of any Patent Rights
(“Infringement Notice”). Licensee shall, in cooperation with COH, use reasonable efforts to terminate infringement
without litigation.


 


(e)            If
infringing activity has not been abated within [**] following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, then Licensee may, following
consultation with COH, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, take action against any alleged infringer or in defense of such
any claim, provided, that, Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement. Any recovery obtained by Licensee as the result of legal
proceedings initiated and paid for by Licensee pursuant to this subsection (e), after deduction of Licensee’s reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in securing such recovery, shall be deemed to be Net Sales of Licensed Products and/or Licensed Services in the calendar
quarter in which such recovery was received and royalties shall be due and payable thereon accordingly.


 


(f)             If
COH is involuntarily joined in a suit initiated by Licensee, then the Licensee will pay any out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by
COH arising out of such suit, including but not limited to, reasonable legal fees of counsel that COH selects and retains to represent
it in the suit.


 






    16


     


    

 


EXECUTION COPY



 


(g)            In
the event that Licensee declines either to cause such infringement to cease (e.g., by settlement or injunction) or to initiate and thereafter
diligently maintain legal proceedings against the infringer other than as part of a mutually agreed upon bona fide strategy, developed
with the guidance of outside patent counsel, to preserve the Patent Rights, COH may, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, take
action against such alleged infringer or in defense of any Third Party claim. Any recovery obtained by COH as the result of any such legal
proceedings shall be for the benefit of COH only. Failure on the part of Licensee to prosecute any such infringement for which it has
standing to prosecute, absent a settlement between Licensee and such infringing Third Party, shall be grounds for conversion of the exclusive
licenses granted to Licensee hereunder to co-exclusive licenses with Licensee and with such infringing Third Party(ies), with respect
to the country in which such infringement occurs, at the option of COH, provided, however, that COH may only subsequently enter into subsequent
license agreements with such infringing Third Party(ies) (i.e., not any other Third Party) and, provided further, that such license(s) shall
not contain running royalty rates lower than the rates specified in this Agreement nor grant such third parties the right to sublicense.
Licensee agrees to execute any and all necessary documents and perform such acts as are reasonably requested by COH in order to effect
such grant to such Third Party. All fees, royalties, payments and any other consideration to be paid by that Third Party under the co-exclusive
license shall be paid to COH.


 


7.2            Trademarks.
Licensee shall be responsible for the selection, registration, maintenance, and defense of all trademarks for use in connection with the
sale or marketing of Licensed Products and Licensed Services in the Field in the Territory (the “Marks”), as well as
all expenses associated therewith. All uses of the Marks by Licensee or a Sublicensee shall comply in all material respects with all applicable
laws and regulations (including those laws and regulations particularly applying to the proper use and designation of trademarks in the
applicable countries). Licensee shall not, without COH’s prior written consent, use any trademarks or house marks of COH (including
the COH corporate name), or marks confusingly similar thereto, in connection with Licensee commercialization of Licensed Products or Licensed
Services under this Agreement in any promotional materials or applications or in any manner implying an endorsement by COH of Licensee
or the Licensed Products or Licensed Services. Licensee shall own all Marks.


 


7.3            Challenge
to the Patent Rights by Licensee.


 


(a)            COH
may terminate this Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 3.3, above, all Sublicenses issued hereunder, upon written notice to Licensee
in the event that Licensee or any of its Affiliates (excluding Designated Affiliates) or Sublicensees directly or indirectly asserts a
Patent Challenge. “Patent Challenge” means any challenge in a legal or administrative proceeding to the patentability,
validity or enforceability of any of the Patent Rights (or any claim thereof), including by: (a) filing or pursuing a declaratory
judgment action in which any of the Patent Rights is alleged to be invalid or unenforceable; (b) citing prior art against any of
the Patent Rights, filing a request for or pursuing a re-examination of any of the Patent Rights (other than with COH’s written
agreement), or becoming a party to or pursuing an interference; or (c) filing or pursuing any re-examination, opposition, cancellation,
nullity or other like proceedings against any of the Patent Rights; but excluding any challenge raised as a defense against a claim, action
or proceeding asserted by COH against Licensee, its Affiliates (excluding Designated Affiliates) or Sublicensees. In lieu of exercising
its rights to terminate under this Section 7.3(a) COH may elect upon written notice to increase the payments due under all of
Article 4 by [**] percent ([**]%), which election will be effective retroactively to the date of the commencement of the Patent Challenge.
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that this Section 7.3(a) is reasonable, valid and necessary for the adequate protection of
COH’s interest in and to the Patent Rights, and that would not have granted to Licensee the licenses under those Patent Rights,
without this Section 7.3(a). COH will have right at any time in its sole discretion to strike this Section 7.3(a) (or any
portion thereof) from this Agreement, and COH will have no liability whatsoever as a result of the presence or absence of this Section 7.3(a) (or
any struck portion thereof).

EXECUTION COPY



 


(b)            If
COH obtains a final non-appealable judgment upholding the validity and enforceability of the challenged Patent Rights and finding at least
one claim of such Patent Rights to be infringed by Licensee or any one of its Affiliates (excluding Designated Affiliates) or Sublicensees,
Licensee shall reimburse COH all of its attorneys’ fees and expenses expended in connection with defending such lawsuit or other
proceeding.


 


7.4            Payment
of COH Patent Expenses.


 


(a)            The
Parties acknowledge that, prior to the Original Effective Date, COH incurred [**] with respect to [**] of the Patent Rights. In consideration
of such [**] by COH, Licensee shall [**].


 


(b)            In
the event that COH, in its reasonable judgment, makes an initial filing to maintain the patentability of a Subject Invention as defined
in the Research Agreement set forth in Exhibit B, Licensee shall reimburse COH for all reasonable costs incurred by COH in connection
therewith.


 


7.5            Marking.
Licensee and its Sublicensees shall mark all Licensed Products and all materials related to Licensed Services in such a matter as to conform
with the patent laws of the country to which such Licensed Products are shipped or in which such products are sold and such Licensed Services
performed.


 


ARTICLE 8: TERM AND TERMINATION


 


8.1            Term
and Expiration of Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, unless sooner terminated by mutual agreement or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement,
this Agreement shall expire on a country-by-country basis and on a Patent Right-by-Patent Right basis on the later to occur of: (a) the
expiration of the last to expire of any of the Patent Rights in such country (or if no patent issues, until the last patent application
in Patent Rights is abandoned), and (b) the date on which the last of the remaining obligations under this Agreement between the
Parties with respect to the payment of milestones or royalties with respect to Licensed Products and Licensed Services have been satisfied

8.2.2         Bankruptcy.
COH shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to its Expiration upon notice to Licensee, in the event that: (i) Licensee
seeks protection of any bankruptcy or insolvency law other than with the prior consent of City of Hope, or (ii) a proceeding in bankruptcy
or insolvency is filed by or against Licensee and not withdrawn, removed or vacated within  [**] of such filing, or there is adjudication
by a court of competent jurisdiction that Licensee is bankrupt or insolvent.


 


8.2.3         Termination
at Will by Licensee. Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to its Expiration upon notice to COH without
cause, effective no fewer than 30 days following the date of such notice.


 


8.2.4         Termination
bv COH for Breach-Based Termination of the Research Agreement. COH shall have the right to terminate this Agreement following
COH’s termination of the Research Agreement (i) pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Research Agreement for Licensee’s
failure to pay amounts due thereunder or (ii) pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Research Agreement for Licensee’s uncured
material breach thereof; provided that, in the event of any such termination of the Research Agreement by COH, Licensee shall provide
written notice to COH of such termination, and COH may terminate this Agreement at any time after such termination of the Research Agreement,
but in no event later than [**] after the receipt of such notice from Licensee.


 


8.3            Effect
of Termination.


 


8.3.1         Upon
any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 (but for clarity, not in the case of its Expiration), all rights and licenses
granted to Licensee under Article 3 and all sublicenses granted by Licensee except as provided below shall immediately terminate
on and as of the effective date of termination as provided in Section 8.2, except that (a) Licensee and its Sublicensees shall
have the right to continue to sell Licensed Products manufactured prior to the effective date of such termination until the sooner of:
(i) [**] after the effective date of termination, or (ii) the exhaustion of Licensee’s or Sublicensees’ inventory
of Licensed Products; and (b) each sublicense granted in compliance with this Agreement, provided that the Sublicensee is not then
in material default of its obligations under the sublicense, will remain in effect, and each Sublicensee thereafter will be deemed a
direct licensee of COH, and each such sublicense agreement will be considered to be a direct license agreement between COH and the Sublicensee,
mutatis mutandis, provided that COH will not be bound to: (1) perform any obligations set forth in any such sublicense agreement
that extend beyond the obligations of COH set forth in this Agreement, or (2) accept compensation under any such sublicense agreement
that taken as a whole in COH’s reasonable discretion would be less than the compensation payable to COH in respect of such Sublicensee’s
activities pursuant to this Agreement.

warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, or similar rights for the purchase or acquisition from Licensee of any securities
of Licensee nor any commitments to issue or execute any such rights, options, warrants, preemptive rights or rights of first refusal.
The respective rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the Common Stock were solely as stated in Licensee’s certificate

ARTICLE 10: INDEMNIFICATION


 


10.1          Indemnification
by Licensee. Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless COH, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors,
shareholders, employees and agents (“COH Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Third Party liabilities, claims,
suits, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of or are in
any way attributable to: (i) the material breach of any representation or warranty made by Licensee under this Agreement, (ii) the
research, development, marketing, approval, manufacture, packaging, labeling, handling, storage, transportation, use, distribution, promotion,
marketing or sale of Licensed Products or Licensed Services by or on behalf of Licensee, any of its Affiliates (excluding Designated Affiliates)
or a Sublicensee or any other exercise of rights under this Agreement or pursuant to any sublicense, or (iii) the negligence, willful
misconduct or failure to comply with applicable law by a Licensee Indemnitee or Sublicensee.


 


10.2          Procedure.
The indemnities set forth in Section 10.1 are subject to the condition that COH shall forthwith notify Licensee of a liability, claim,
suit, action or expense and that Licensee defend and control any proceedings with COH being permitted to participate at its own expense
(unless there shall be a conflict of interest which would prevent representation by joint counsel, in which event Licensee shall pay for
COH’s counsel): provided, that, Licensee may not settle the liability, claim, suit, action or expense, or otherwise
admit fault of COH or consent to any judgment, without the written consent of COH (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no delay in the notification of the existence of any claim of Loss shall cause a failure to comply with this Section 10.2
as long as such delay shall not have materially impaired the rights of Licensee.


 


10.3          Insurance.


 


(a)            Within
[**] following the first equity or debt financing with net proceeds to Licensee or Parent of greater than $[**], Licensee shall procure
at its sole expense (or shall be covered under a policy maintained by an Affiliate) and provide to COH evidence of comprehensive or commercial
general liability insurance (contractual liability included) with limits of at least: (i) each occurrence, $[**]; (ii) products/completed
operations aggregate, $[**]; (iii) personal and advertising injury, $[**]; and general aggregate (commercial form only), $[**].


 


(b)            The
foregoing policies will provide primary coverage to COH and shall name the COH Indemnitees as additional insureds, and shall remain in
effect during the term of this Agreement and for [**] following the termination or expiration of the term of this Agreement. The COH Indemnitees
shall be notified in writing by Licensee not less than [**] prior to any material modification, cancellation or non-renewal of such policy.
Licensee’s insurance must include a provision that the coverages will be primary and will not participate with nor will be excess
over any valid and collective insurance or program of self-insurance carried or maintained by the COH Indemnitees. Such insurance coverage
shall be maintained with an insurance company or companies having an A.M. Best’s rating (or its equivalent) of A-XII or better.

EXECUTION COPY



 


(c)            Licensee
expressly understands that the coverage limits in Section 10.3(a) do not in any way limit the Licensee’s liability.


 


10.4            LIMITATION
ON DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY: (I) IN NO EVENT SHALL COH BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE
FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE
GOODS, LOST BUSINESS OR ENHANCED DAMAGES FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT) WHETHER BASED UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND (II) IN NO EVENT SHALL COH BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR AN AGGREGATE
AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF ONE-HALF OF THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION PAID TO COH HEREUNDER.

Confidential Information; and (ii) Licensee shall not use, for any purpose other than the purpose contemplated by this Agreement,

unauthorized use or disclosure is made by others to whom access to such other Party’s Confidential Information is granted.


 


11.2            Exceptions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may use and disclose Confidential Information of the other Party as follows:


 


(a)            if
required by applicable law, rule, regulation, government requirement and/or court order, provided, that, the disclosing
Party promptly notifies the other Party of its notice of any such requirement and provides the other Party a reasonable opportunity to

(b)            to
the extent such use and disclosure occurs in the filing or publication of any patent application or patent on inventions;

with such Party performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement; and


 


(f)             by
Licensee, to actual and potential investors, licensees, Sublicensees, consultants, vendors and suppliers, and academic and commercial

11.3          Certain
Obligations. During the Term and for a period of [**] thereafter and subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 11.2,
Licensee, with respect to COH Confidential Information, and COH, with respect to Licensee Confidential Information, agree:


 


(a)            to
use such Confidential Information only for the purposes contemplated under this Agreement,


 


(b)            to
treat such Confidential Information as it would its own proprietary information which in no event shall be less than a reasonable standard
of care,


 


(c)            to
take reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure of such Confidential Information to a Third Party without written consent of the
other Party, and


 


(d)            to
only disclose such Confidential Information to those employees, agents and Third Parties who have a need to know such Confidential Information
for the purposes set forth herein and who are subject to obligations of confidentiality no less restrictive than those set forth herein.


 


11.4          Termination.
Upon termination, of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 (but for clarity, not in the case of its Expiration), and upon the request
of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party or destroy all copies of Confidential Information
received from such Party, and shall return or destroy, and document the destruction of, all summaries, abstracts, extracts, or other documents
which contain any Confidential Information of the other Party in any form, except that each Party shall be permitted to retain a copy
(or copies, as necessary’) of such Confidential Information for archival purposes or to enforce or verify compliance with this Agreement,
or as required by any applicable law or regulation.


 


ARTICLE 12:
DISPUTE RESOLUTION


 


All Disputes shall be first referred to [**] of
COH (the “COH [**]”) and the [**] of Licensee for resolution, prior to proceeding under the other provisions of this
Article 12. A Dispute shall be referred to such executives upon one Party (the “Initiating Party”) providing the
other Party (the “Responding Party”) with notice that such Dispute exists, together with a written statement describing
the Dispute with reasonable specificity and proposing a resolution to such Dispute that the Initialing Party is willing to accept, if
any. Within [**] after having received such statement and proposed resolution, if any, the Responding Party shall respond with a written
statement that provides additional information, if any, regarding such Dispute, and proposes a resolution to such Dispute that the Responding
Party is willing to accept, if any. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved within [**] after the Responding Party’s receipt
of the Initiating Party’s notice, either Party may bring and thereafter maintain suit against the other with respect to such Dispute;
provided, however, that the exclusive jurisdiction of any such suit shall be the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County,
