	 	e	Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all sublicenses will, at Board’s option, be (a) assigned to and assumed by Board, or (b) terminated.

Sublicensee’s, or Affiliate’s reasonable judgment, determines are desirable to be incorporated in such Licensed Product(s), or under license agreements with third parties that are joint
owners of patent applications or patents within the Licensed Patents, and the total royalties to be paid by Licensee to University and third parties would exceed [**]% on Sales of Licensed Product(s) (the “Applicable Royalty Stack Cap”)
the amount to be paid under Section 4.1 (“Running Royalty”) will be calculated as follows: 
 The royalty payments
to Board will be reduced by an amount proportionate to the amount by which the total royalties exceeds the Royalty Stack Cap. Specifically: 
  

			
		  	R2 = R1 × (Applicable Royalty Stack Cap / T)
		
	 where
	  	R1 is the earned royalties due the Board hereunder;
		  	R2 is the adjusted reduced royalty rate due hereunder;
		  	T is the total royalty due to all licensors; and
		  	Applicable Royalty Stack Cap: [**]%.

 For example, if one additional licenses are needed from one additional third party, and this other royalty
rate is [**]% and the earned royalties also due the Board are [**]%, then the value of T is [**]%, and the royalty rate under this Agreement, as adjusted will be [**] or [**]%. However, the percentage due the Board will never be reduced to less than
[**]%. 
  

	4.3	Past Patent Expenses 


Licensee will pay $[**] as reimbursement for past expenses in filing and prosecuting patent applications included in Licensed Patents due
and payable no later than October 15, 2005 . Licensee will pay future patent expenses as set forth in Section 7 (“Future Patent Expenses and Prosecution”). 

 

	4.4	Sublicensee Fees and Royalites 

 Within thirty (30) days after receipt of payment by Licensee, Licensee will promptly pay University the following percent of any sublicense fee, sublicense milestone payment, royalties and other
consideration, excluding equity in investments in Licensee in which no license or sublicense rights are conveyed, payable.by each Sublicensee to Licensee or an Affiliate in consideration for Sublicense of the Licensed Patents, excluding funds or
materials paid to Licensee exclusively for research and development related to Licensed Product(s) and, provided further, that the rights granted to sublicensee are limited to research and development work (so long as the funding does not reflect a
premium of more than [**]% over Licensee’s actual costs to perform said work) and do not permit the Sale of the Licensed Product(s) (collectively called “Sublicensee Fees”): 

 

	 	a.	Before the first Sale of Licensee’s nerve graft product, [**] percent ([**]%) of Sublicense Fees for any Sublicense executed. 


 

	 	b.	After the first Sale of Licensee’s nerve graft product, [**] percent ([**]%) of Sublicense Fees for any Sublicense executed. 


Any non-cash consideration, not including equity investments in Licensee, received by Licensee or an Affiliate from such Sublicensees will
be valued at its Fair Market Value as of the date of receipt by Licensee or an Affiliate.

	6.2	Sales Outside the U.S. 


The remittance of royalties payable on Sales made outside the United States will be payable to University in United States Dollar
equivalents; provided, however if any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payment of royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange rates used by Licensee in calculating Licensee’s own revenues

payment of such part of the royalties as is necessary will be made by the deposit thereof, in the currency of the country where the Sale was made on which the royalty was based to the credit and account of University or its nominee in any commercial
bank or trust company of University’s choice located in that country, prompt written notice of which will be given by Licensee to University.

	6.5	Auditing 

 Upon reasonable
prior notice to Licensee, Affiliates, or Sublicensees, University or its representatives or its appointed accountants will have access to such books and records relating to Net Sales as necessary to conduct a review or audit of Net Sales and verify
all royalty reports submitted and royalty payments. Such access will be available to University upon not less than ten (10) days written notice to Licensee, Affiliates, or Sublicensees, not more than once each calendar year of the Term, during
normal business hours, and once a year for three years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Whenever these books and records are audited by an independent certified public accountant, University will, within (thirty) 30 days of the
conclusion of such audit, provide to Licensee a written statement, certified by said auditor, setting forth the calculation of royalties due to University over the time period audited as determined from the audit of paid books and records. If such
audit indicates that Licensee, Affiliates, or Sublicensees has underpaid royalties by more than 10%, Licensee will pay the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by University and its representatives and accountants, if any, in connection with the
review or audit and Licensee will immediately remit such underpaid royalties and Sublicensee Fees and any accrued interest to University. 
  

	7.	Future Patent Expenses and Prosecution 

  

	7.1	Future Patent Expenses 


Licensee will pay future expenses incurred after Effective Date for filing, prosecuting, enforcing, and maintaining the Licensed Patents.

  

	7.2	Default in Payment 

 In
the event that Licensee fails to pay any patent expenses required under this Agreement, and said default is not cured within sixty (60) days after receipt of notification that such expenses are due, then University may pursue its remedies as
specified in Section 9.3. Alternatively, University may require and request that Licensee establish with a bank approved by University, an irrevocable and confirmed letter of credit (not restricted, unless otherwise agreed upon) in the amount
of US $[**] in favor of University available immediately to secure the payment of patent expenses due under this Agreement. University may draw upon such letter of credit upon presentation of the letter notifying Licensee of patent expenses due and
payable and a statement from University of Licensee’s failure to pay; and Licensee will cause the bank to restore the letter of credit to the US $[**] level. In the event that Licensee does not establish (or restore) such letter of credit
within thirty (30) days of University’s request, then Board may immediately terminate this Agreement. 
  

	7.3	Patent Attorney 


University will work closely with Licensee to develop a suitable strategy for the prosecution and maintenance of all Licensed Patents;
provided that Board will maintain final authority in all decisions regarding the patent attorney who prosecutes and maintains the Licensed Patents. University will confer with Licensee regarding the choice of patent counsel and will identify to
Licensee the patent attorney selected to prosecute the Licensed Patents. It is intended that Licensee will interact directly with the selected patent counsel in all phases of patent prosecution: preparation, office action responses, filing
strategies for continuation or divisional applications, and

other related activities. University will request that copies of all documents prepared by the selected patent counsel be provided to Licensee for review and comment prior to filing to the extent
practicable under the circumstances. Licensee will be billed and will pay all documented costs and fees and other charges incident to the preparation, prosecution, and maintenance of the Licensed Patents within sixty (60) days of receipt of
invoice. All patent applications and patents will be in the name of Board, owned by Board and included as part of the Licensed Patents licensed pursuant to this Agreement. 
 If Licensee has a strong need to use a patent attorney other than the patent attorney selected by University, Licensee and University will cooperate to endeavor to select a patent attorney who is mutually
approved by both Licensee and University. Any such mutually selected patent attorney will be required to keep both Licensee and Board, as co-clients, equally informed and involved as to all material information, material communications with
governmental patent offices, material issues and decisions, and related matters applicable to prosecuting the patent applications for the Licensed Patents and for maintaining the Licensed Patents in good standing. Decisions for prosecuting the
patent applications will be made so as to obtain as broad of patent protection as is reasonable and practical under the circumstances. Board will request that copies of all documents prepared by the selected patent attorney be provided to Licensee
for review and comment prior to filing to the extent practicable under the circumstances. 
 Licensee will be billed in
accordance with 7.1 above and will pay all documented costs and fees and other charges incident to the preparation, prosecution, and maintenance of the Licensed Patents, within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice from the selected patent
attorney. Licensee will promptly notify Board of its plans to file, revise or drop any patent application or claim which may adversely affect the Licensed Patents or the rights or royalties of Board in the Licensed Subject Matter under this
Agreement. Licensee and the selected patent attorney shall not change any inventorship designations, and shall not drop or reduce any claim in a pending patent application which may adversely affect the Licensed Patents or royalties of Board in the
Licensed Subject Matter without written University approval.

	9.	Confidentiality 

  

	9.1	Protection and Marking 


Any disclosure of Confidential Information is made in the strictest confidence. The Licensee and University will make all reasonable
efforts to ensure the protection, confidentiality and security of any Confidential Information in its possession, such efforts to be no less than the degree of care employed by the Licensee or University to preserve and safeguard its own
confidential information. Confidential Information will be transmitted in writing and clearly marked “Confidential”, “Proprietary” or similarly, or if disclosed orally will be reduced to writing by the University, clearly marked
“Confidential”, “Proprietary” or similarly, and transmitted to the Licensee in accordance with Section 19 (“Notices”) within thirty (30) days of oral disclosure. 

 

	9.2	Non-Disclosure 

 Each
party to this Agreement may disclose the Confidential Information to its own employees in connection with the rights granted under this Agreement; provided, however, that such employees will have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement or
have entered into an agreement of similar scope and obligations to protect the confidential information of such party or the confidential information of third parties in such party’s possession. In no event will either party disclose
Confidential Information to third parties without the written consent of the other party; provided, however, that Licensee may disclose Confidential Information to its consultants, other non-employees retained because of their standing and expertise
in the area, and customers or potential customers; provided, that such consultant, non-employee, or customers or potential customers have executed a written non-disclosure and non-use agreement containing terms and conditions approved in writing by
University. A copy of any such executed agreement will be provided to University in the manner set forth in Section 20 (“Notices”). 
  

	9.3	Non-Use 

 Licensee or
University will not use any Confidential Information for any reason other than in connection with practice or exercise of the rights granted under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Board or University. 

 

	9.4	Copies 

 The Licensee and
University agrees not to copy or record any Confidential Information except as reasonably necessary for University or Licensee to practice or exercise the rights granted under this Agreement. Within five (5) days after the termination of this
Agreement, upon request of the University or Licensee, Licensee or University will deliver to the other all copies or records of Confidential Information in its possession or control, or will certify in writing to the other that the Confidential
Information has been destroyed. 
  

	9.5	Continuing Obligations 


Subject to the exceptions listed below, the Licensee’s and University’s obligations under this Agreement will survive
termination of this Agreement and will continue for a period of five (5) years. 
 Confidential Information will not include
any information which: 
  

	 	a.	can be demonstrated to have been in the public domain as of the Effective Date of this Agreement or comes into the public domain during the term of this Agreement
through no fault of the party who received the other party’s Confidential Information; 

  

	 	b.	can be demonstrated, from written records, to have been known to one of the Parties to this Agreement prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement and was not
acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Board or University or from a third party under a continuing obligation of confidentiality or limited use;

	 	c.	can be demonstrated to have been rightfully received by one of the Parties from a third party who did not require the Parties to hold it in confidence or limit its use
and who did not acquire it, directly or indirectly, from the Parties a continuing obligation of confidentiality; or 

  

	 	d.	is required to be disclosed by a court of competent jurisdiction after giving maximum practical notice to the Licensee or Board and University.


  

	9.6	Degree of Care and Survival of Obligations 

 Licensee’s and University’s obligation of confidence hereunder will be fulfilled by using at least the same degree of care with the Confidential Information as Licensee uses to protect its own
confidential information. 
  

	9.7	Publication by University 


University will submit its manuscript for any proposed publication of research related to Licensed Subject Matter to Licensee at least
thirty (30) days before publication, and Licensee will have the right to review and comment upon the publication in order to protect Licensee’s confidential information. Upon Licensee’s request, publication will be delayed up to sixty
(60) additional days to enable Licensee to secure adequate intellectual property protection of Licensee’s property that would be affected by the publication. 
  

	9.8	Copyright Notice 

 The
placement of a copyright notice on any Confidential Information will not be construed to mean that such information has been published and will not release Licensee from its obligation of confidentiality hereunder. 

 

	10.	Infringement and Litigation 

  

	10.1	Notification 

 University
and Licensee are responsible for notifying each other promptly of any infringement of Licensed Patents or any misappropriation of Confidential Information or Licensed Technology that may come to their attention. University and Licensee will consult
one another in a timely manner concerning any appropriate response thereto. 
  

	10.2	Licensee Prosecution Rights 

 Licensee will have the right, but not the obligation to prosecute such infringement or misappropriation at its own expense. Licensee will not settle or compromise any such suit in a manner that imposes
any obligations or restrictions on Board or University or grants any rights to Licensed Patents or Licensed Technology, without Board’s prior written consent. At the time of filing any infringement enforcement action, Board and Licensee will
determine how any damages awarded will be distributed between Board and Licensee; using as a guide and provided that in no event will Board’s distribution be less than an amount that would have been due Board based upon Section 4.5
(“Sublicensee Fees”) as if the litigation recovery had been a Sublicensee Fee, or if no Sublicensee Fee is due to Board, subject first to any payments that would have been due University based upon Section 4.1 (“Running
Royalty”) as if the litigation recovery had been from a Sale. 
  

	10.3	Board’s Right to Intervene 

 If Licensee shall fail, within one hundred twenty (120) days after receiving notice from Board of a potential infringement, or providing Board with notice of such infringement, to either
(a) terminate such infringement or (b) institute an action to prevent continuation thereof including, but not limited to, cross-licensing agreements, marketing agreements, licensing agreements, and etc.; and, thereafter to prosecute such
action diligently, or if Licensee notifies Board that it does not plan to terminate the infringement or institute such action, then Board shall have the right to do so at its own expense. Licensee’s prosecution rights under Section 10.2
(“Licensee Prosecution Rights”) will be subject to the continuing right of Board or University to intervene at Board’s or University’s own expense and join Licensee in any claim or suit for infringement or misappropriation of
Licensed Patents or Licensed Technology. Any consideration

received in settlement of any claim or suit will be shared between University and Licensee in a proportionate amount to be determined at the time of intervention, based on royalties that would
have been due if no infringement had occurred. 
  

	10.4	Board’s Prosecution Rights 

 If Licensee fails to prosecute or remedy through agreement or settlement such infringement or misappropriation within six (6) months of notice of infringement or misappropriation, Board or University
will have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute such infringement or misappropriation at its own expense. Board will have the additional right, if Licensee fails to prosecute or remedy through agreement or settlement such infringement or
misappropriation within said six (6) months, to (i) terminate any and all license rights granted to Licensee with respect to the Licensed Subject Matter being infringed or misappropriated, or (ii) convert the license rights granted to
Licensee from exclusive to non-exclusive with respect to the Licensed Subject Matter being infringed or misappropriated. In the event Board exercises either of these options, Board may grant non-exclusive license rights to the infringer for said
Licensed Subject Matter and/or any field(s) of use with Board or University retaining [**]% of all consideration for said license grant. 
  

	10.5	Cooperation between Board, University, and Licensee 

 In any action to enforce any of the Licensed Patents or Licensed Technology, either party to this Agreement, at the request and expense of the other party, will cooperate to the fullest extent reasonably
possible. This provision will not be construed to require either party to undertake any activities, including legal discovery, at the request of any third party except as may be required by lawful process of a court of competent jurisdiction.

  

	11.	Export Compliance 


Licensee understands that the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), including its implementing International Traffic In Arms Regulations (ITAR,)
and the Export Administration Act (EAA), including its Export Administration Regulations (EAR), are some (but not all) of the laws and regulations that comprise the U.S. export laws and regulations. Licensee further understands that the U.S. export
laws and regulations include (but are not limited to): (1) ITAR and EAR product/service/data-specific requirements; (2) ITAR and EAR ultimate destination-specific requirements; (3) ITAR and EAR end user-specific requirements;

(and other applicable U.S. laws and regulations) pertaining to the Licensed Technology (including any associated products, items, articles, computer software, media, services, technical data, and other information). Licensee certifies that it will
not, directly or indirectly, export (including any deemed export), nor re-export (including any deemed re-export) the Licensed Technology (including any associated products, items, articles, computer software, media, services,

INSTRUCTIONS TO EXHIBIT B 
 PROGRESS REPORT AND COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN 
  

	I.	General 

 Licensee shall annually submit a
progress report (“Report”) and commercialization plan (“Plan”), (collectively, the “Submissions”) in the format outlined below to University beginning on the first anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement, as
outlined in Section 2.4. The information provided in the Submissions is subject to audit by The University of Texas. The University of Texas may terminate its License with Licensee if any information provided in the Submissions is intentionally
and materially misreported. 
  

	A.	Purpose 

 The information provided by
Licensee in the Submissions is required by the License Agreement and also is critical to the technology commercialization process. By providing the information requested in this document, you can help us: 

 

	 	•	 	 track the progress and document the successes of the commercialization effort around the Licensed Subject Matter, 



 

	 	•	 	 promote research, development and commercialization and 



 

	 	•	 	 improve the technology licensing process at the University. 


 Licensee should provide as much information as is necessary to clearly demonstrate the commercialization of the Licensed Subject Matter. Failure to demonstrate commercialization of Licensed Subject Matter
could result in termination of the License Agreement pursuant to Section 4.6 of License Agreement. 
  

	B.	Submissions Format 

 The following format
must be followed for each required submission. Submissions that deviate substantially from these guidelines or that omit substantial information will not be considered submitted nor acceptable for the purpose of determining Licensee’s
compliance with License Agreement and its reporting requirements; provided, however, that unsatisfactory submissions shall be returned to Licensee with sufficient detail regarding the deviations which make the submission non-conforming so as to
allow Licensee to resubmit a conforming submission prior to the declaration by Licensor of a Licensee default under the License Agreement. 
  

	1.	 Page Limitations. Page and paragraph limitations for the different parts of the Submissions are stipulated in the requirements section (below)
and should be adhered to. If additional explanation is required, please attach typed explanation on 8
 1/2 x 11 inch pages using 1 inch margins. All
additional pages should clearly indicate in the heading, the section and subsection (e.g., II.a.1, III.B, etc.) to which they relate and must follow all other Submissions format requirements. 



 

	2.	Tables Provided in Appendix C. In order to simplify the Submissions review process, Excel tables are provided for Licensee to complete. Licensee must complete
each table provided or indicate Not Applicable (“N/A”). (Note: Tables in Excel format may be modified to add additional rows or widen columns as necessary. For example, in Section II.B.4., a Licensed Product may have more than one current
commercialization partner and thus another column should be added, however, if the Licensed Product does not have any current commercialization partners, no columns should be deleted. Simply indicate, “None”.)
