be at no charge to the Consultant, but at the Company’s expense and the Company shall reimburse the Consultant for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred.


 


The
requirements of this Section 6.2 do not apply to an Invention which (a) was developed entirely on the Consultant’s own time,
and (1) which does not relate directly to the Company’s Products or (2) which does not result from any work the Consultant
performed for the Company, or (b) is owned by Case Western Reserve University. With respect to any obligations performed by the
Consultant under this Section 6.2 following termination of this Agreement, the Company will pay or reimburse all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent of any conflict between that certain License Agreement, dated as of
