 NON-EXCLUSIVE PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT 

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is dated and effective as of the date of last signature (the “Effective
Date”), and is made by and between the University of Washington, a public institution of higher education and an agency of the state of Washington (the “University”), and Osmetech Molecular Diagnostics, an entity consisting solely of
Clinical Micro Sensors, Inc. and Osmetech, Inc., both Delaware Corporations (the “Company”), (individually a “Party” or collectively the “Parties”). 

Purpose 

The University owns the right to license to others certain rights to the Licensed Patents, as that term is defined and
used in this Agreement. The Company desires that the University grant it a license to use, develop, and commercialize the inventions claimed in the Licensed Patents. The University is willing to grant such a license on the terms set forth below.

 NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree that: 

1. Definitions. For purposes of interpreting this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them
below in this Article 1: 
  

	1.1	 “Affiliate” means (i) a Third Party that owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting capital stock, or like equity security,
of the Company, or (ii) a Third Party in which the Company owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting capital stock, or like equity security. 



 

	1.2	 “Confidential Information” means any information or materials (biological, chemical, or otherwise) of the Parties not generally known to
the public, including any information comprised by those materials and including without limitation, Licensed Technology. 


  

	1.3	 “Field of Use” means the fields of use described in section Al of attached Exhibit A. 



 

	1.4	 “Licensed Patent” means the patents and patent applications listed in section A2 of attached Exhibit A along with any further
related patent issued during the term of this Agreement by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any like foreign body with respect to patent applications. The term “Licensed Patent” also includes any divisionals, continuations,
reissues, renewals, substitutions, re-examinations or extensions and foreign equivalents thereof or substitute therefore of a Licensed Patent. 


  

	1.5	 “Licensed Product” means any product, good or service in the Field of Use that is used, made by, made for, sold, transferred, offered for
sale, or otherwise disposed of by the Company during the term of this Agreement that, but for the granting of the rights set forth in this Agreement, would infringe (including under the doctrine of equivalents) one or more Valid Claims of a Licensed
Patent in the country where such product, good or service is sold or provided, or any product or good that is made using a process or

machine that is covered by a Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent in the country where such product or good is sold or manufactured. 



 

	1.6	 “Licensed Technology” means collectively the inventions claimed in each Licensed Patent. 



 

	1.7	 “Net Sales Price” means the gross amount invoiced for sales, leases, services, and other dispositions of Licensed Products less
(i) all trade, quantity, and cash discounts actually allowed, including (ii) all credits and allowances actually granted due to rejections, returns, billing errors, and retroactive price reductions, (iii) duties, and (iv) excise,
sale and use taxes, and equivalent taxes. In the event the Company sells, leases, or disposes of a Licensed Product to an Affiliate, the “Net Sales Price” for that transaction for purposes of this Agreement shall be equal to the price the
Company charges non-Affiliate Third Parties for the Licensed Product or if the Company does not offer to sell the Licensed Product to the public, the price charged by the Company for a product of similar kind, quality, and quantity.



  

	1.8	 “Payment” means a payment to be made by the Company to the University specified in section 6.1 of this Agreement and described in
section A3 of attached Exhibit A. 


  

	1.9	 “Territory” means worldwide. 


  

	1.10	 “Third Party” means any individual or entity other than the University or the Company. 



 

	1.11	 “Valid Claim” means (a) a claim in an issued and unexpired patent included in the Licensed Patents that: (i) has not been held
unenforceable, unpatentable or invalid by a decision of a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, and not subject to appeal, (ii) has not been admitted to be invalid or unenforceable through reissue or disclaimer or
otherwise, (iii) has not been lost through an interference, reexamination or reissue proceeding; or (b) a claim of a pending patent application included in the Licensed Patents. 



2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier as provided below
in Article 8, this Agreement shall expire on the date on which no Valid Claim in a Licensed Patent is pending or subsisting in any country in the Territory. 

3. Grant of License. 
  

	3.1	 The Company’s Rights. 



3.1.1. Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the University hereby grants
to the Company, and the Company hereby accepts, a nonexclusive license to make, have made on its behalf, use, offer to sell or sell, offer to lease or lease, import, or otherwise offer to dispose or dispose of Licensed Products in the Territory. The
Parties acknowledge and agree that the license granted in this Agreement

shall be limited to the inventions in the Field of Use that are expressly claimed in each Licensed Patent. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to grant the Company, by implication,
estoppel or otherwise, any rights other than the rights expressly granted it in this Agreement to the Licensed Technology, a Licensed Patent, or to any other University-owned technology, patent applications, or patents. 

3.1.2. Sublicensing. Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall
not, and shall not have the right to, sublicense its rights under this Agreement. 
  

	3.2	 The United States Government’s Rights. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the federal government of the United States of America has
certain rights in and to any government-funded Licensed Technology as those rights are described in Chapter 18, Title 35 of the United States Code and accompanying regulations, including Part 401, Chapter 37 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, and that the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement to any government-funded Licensed Technology, including the grant of license set forth above in subsection 3.1.1, are subject to the applicable terms of the
aforementioned United States laws. 


  

	3.3	 The University’s Rights. The University retains an irrevocable, nonexclusive license to make, have made, and use products, processes,

	4.1	 Cost Reimbursement. The Company shall pay, or shall reimburse the University for paying, reasonable and necessary costs (including
attorneys’ and application fees) incurred prior to, on, or after the Effective Date to apply for, prosecute, enforce, and maintain each Licensed Patent in those countries where the Company intends to commercialize Licensed Product, as provided
for in section A3.6 of attached Exhibit A. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall pay, or shall reimburse the University for paying, costs related to Licensed Patents unless and until the Company notifies the University in writing
of its decision to opt-out of patent protection for a specific country in the Territory. In this event, the Company shall not be responsible for reimbursing those costs and lose rights in that country. 



 

	4.2	 Pre-Agreement Licensed Product Sales. The Company agrees to pay royalties in the amounts set forth in this Agreement for any Licensed
Products it has sold in the Territory prior to the Effective Date. 


  

	4.3	 Patent Application Filings during the Term of this Agreement.

the Company file a patent application with respect to the Licensed Technology if a University employee is an inventor on the patent application. 

4.3.2. The University shall determine in which countries the University will file, or cause to be filed,
a patent application with respect to the Licensed Technology. The Company may request patent prosecution to be pursued in any given country. The Company will specify in writing which of these countries it wishes to receive license from and shall pay
pro-rata share of patent costs as specified in section A3.6 of attached Exhibit A. For the avoidance of doubt, Company shall pay, or shall reimburse the University for paying costs related to Licensed Patents in all countries until the
Company notifies the University in writing of its decision to opt-out of said cost reimbursement for any specific country. 

4.3.3. For each patent application with respect to the Licensed Technology filed in a particular country,
the University shall retain counsel of its choice to file and prosecute such patent application; the University shall take all commercially reasonable steps to cause a patent application to be filed and a patent to be issued in that country. The
Company promptly shall reimburse the University for the University’s out-of-pocket costs, including application and attorneys’ fees, to file, prosecute and maintain such patent application and issued patent during the term of this
Agreement as provided for in section A3.4 of attached Exhibit A. 
 4.3.4. No provision
of this Agreement limits, conditions, or otherwise affects the University’s right to prosecute a patent application with respect to the Licensed Technology in any country. 

 

	4.4	 Maintenance of Licensed Patents. The University shall take all commercially reasonable steps to cause each Licensed Patent to remain or be
valid and subsisting. 


  

	4.5	 Ownership of the Licensed Patents. No provision of this Agreement grants the Company any rights, titles, or interests (except for the grant
of license in subsection 3.1.1 of this Agreement) in the Licensed Patents, notwithstanding the Company’s payment of all or any portion of the patent prosecution, maintenance, and related costs. 



5. Commercialization. 
  

	5.1	 Commercialization Efforts. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with sound and reasonable business practices
and judgment, to commercialize the Licensed Technology and to manufacture and offer to make and sell Licensed Products as soon as practicable and to maximize sales thereof. 



 

	5.2	 Covenants Regarding the Manufacture of Licensed Products. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the manufacture, use, sale, or
transfer of Licensed Products shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws, including all federal export laws and regulations. The Company hereby further covenants and agrees that, to the extent required by 35 United States Code
Section 204, it shall substantially manufacture in the

United States of America all products embodying or produced through the use of an invention that is subject to the rights of the federal government of the United States of America.



  

	5.3	 Commercialization Reports. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the University written reports of the
Company’s efforts and plans to commercialize the Licensed Technology and to manufacture, offer to sell, or sell Licensed Products, including a projected timeline of development and sales. Prior to product introduction, these reports will be
delivered to the University every six (6) months from the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and then annually, within thirty (30) days of the anniversary of the Effective Date, after first product sale. 



 

	5.4	 Use of the University’s Name and Trademarks or the Names of University Faculty, Staff, or Students. No provision of this Agreement
grants the Company any right or license to use the name or trademarks of the University or the names, or identities of any member of the faculty, staff, or student body of the University. The Company shall not use any such trademarks, names, or
identities without the University’s and, as the case may be, such member’s prior written approval. 



6. Payments, Reimbursements, Reports, and Records. 

 

	6.1	 Payments. The Company shall deliver to the University the payment or payments specified in section A3 of attached Exhibit A. The
Company shall make such payments by check, wire transfer, or any other mutually agreed-upon and generally accepted method of payment. All checks to the University shall be made payable to “University of Washington” and shall be mailed to
the address specified in Article 21 of this Agreement and shall include the University agreement number l8921A. Upon request, the University shall deliver to the Company written wire transfer instructions. 



 

	6.2	 Late Payments. Company agrees to pay a late fee for all amounts owed to the University that are overdue by thirty (30) days or more. The
late fee shall be computed as the United States prime rate plus Two Percent (2%), compounded monthly, as set forth by The Wall Street Journal (Western edition) on the date on which such payment is due, of the outstanding, unpaid balance. The
payment of such a late fee shall not foreclose or limit University from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment. 



 

	6.3	 Sales Reports. Within thirty (30) days after the last day of a calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall
deliver to the University a written sales report (a copy of the form of which is attached as Exhibit B) recounting the number and Net Sales Price amount (expressed in U.S. dollars) of all sales, leases, or other dispositions of Licensed
Products made by the Company during such calendar quarter. The Company shall deliver such written report to the University even if the Company is not required hereunder to pay to the University a payment for sales, leases, or other dispositions of
Licensed Products during the calendar quarter.

	6.4	 Records Retention and Audit Rights. 



6.4.1. Throughout the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years thereafter, the Company, at its
expense, shall keep and maintain complete and accurate records of all sales, leases, and other dispositions of Licensed Products during the term of this Agreement and all other records related to this Agreement. 

6.4.2. The University, at its expense except as set forth below in this subsection, shall have the right
to inspect and audit the Company’s records referred to in subsection 6.4.1 hereof at the Company’s address as set forth in Article 21 of this Agreement or such other locations as the Parties shall mutually agree during the
Company’s normal business hours. The University shall have the right to determine the Company’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall reimburse the University for all its out-of-pocket expenses to inspect and audit
such records if the University, in accordance with the results of such inspection and audit, determines that the Company has underpaid amounts owed to the University by at least *** percent (***%), in a reporting period. In connection with, and
prior to the commencement of, an audit, if the Company so requests in writing to the University, the Company, the University and the auditor shall enter into an agreement prohibiting the auditor and the University from disclosing the Company’s
nonpublic, proprietary information to any Third Party without the Company’s prior written consent; provided, however, that consistent with generally accepted auditing standards and the auditor’s professional judgment, the auditor may
disclose such information to the University and its agents, counsel, or consultants. The Company acknowledges that such an agreement is adequate to protect its legitimate interests, and the Parties agree that there shall be no additional
nondisclosure agreement demanded as a condition to the commencement of an audit and the University’s exercising its rights under this subsection. 
  

	6.5	 Currency and Checks. All computations and payments made under this Agreement shall be in United States dollars. The exchange rate for the
currency into dollars as reported in the Wall Street Journal as the New York foreign exchange mid-range rate on the last business day of the month in which the transaction was entered into shall be used for determining the dollar value of
transactions conducted in non-United States dollar currencies. 


 7. Third Party Infringement of Licensed
Patent. 
  

	7.1	 Notice of Third Party’s Infringement. In the event the Company learns of substantial, credible evidence that a Third Party is making,
using, or selling a product in a Field of Use in the Territory that infringes a Licensed Patent, the Company promptly thereafter shall deliver written notice of the possible infringement to the University, describing the information suggesting
infringement of the Licensed Patent.

	7.2	 Legal Action to Enforce a Licensed Patent. The University shall have no obligation under this Agreement to commence or maintain a suit
against any alleged infringer of Licensed Patents. The University reserves the right to grant a license to the infringer to settle a University-initiated action. No provision of this Agreement shall limit, condition, or otherwise affect the
University’s statutory and common-law rights to commence an action to enforce a Licensed Patent.
