6.1
Payment Method. All payments under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire transfer
in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Party to which such payments are due. Any payments or portions
thereof due under this Agreement that are not paid by the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest
at a rate equal to: (i) the prime rate as reported by Citibank N.A., plus one percent (1%) per year; or (ii) if lower, the maximum
rate permitted by law; calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded annually and computed on the basis
of a three hundred sixty five (365) day year and the actual days elapsed. The applicable interest rate shall be adjusted each
time there shall be a change in the prime rate announced by Citibank N.A. This Section 6.1 shall in no way limit any other remedies
available to the Parties.


 


6.2
Withholding Taxes. If laws or regulations require withholding by Licensee of any
taxes imposed upon Angionetics on account of any royalties or other payments paid under this Agreement, such taxes shall be deducted
by Licensee as required by law from such payment and shall be paid by Licensee to the proper taxing authorities. Official receipts
of payment of any withholding tax shall be secured and sent to Angionetics as evidence of such payment. The Parties will exercise
their reasonable efforts to ensure that any withholding taxes imposed are reduced as far as possible under the provisions of any
applicable tax treaty, and shall cooperate in filing any forms required for such reduction.

true and accurate books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable to Angionetics pursuant to
this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept for at least three (3) years following the end of the calendar quarter to
which they pertain. Such records will be open for inspection during the three (3) year period after Licensee’s payment of
the amount to which such records relate or the due date of such payment, whichever is later, by an independent auditor chosen
by Angionetics and reasonably acceptable to Licensee for the purpose of verifying the amounts payable by Licensee hereunder. Such
inspections may be made no more than once each calendar year, at reasonable times and on thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice. Such records for any particular calendar quarter shall be subject to no more than one inspection. The independent auditor
shall be obligated to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing any such inspection. Inspections conducted
under this Section 6.4 shall be at the expense of Angionetics, unless a variation or error producing an underpayment in amounts
payable exceeding five percent (5%) of the amount paid for a period covered by the inspection is established, in which case all
reasonable costs relating to the inspection for such period and any unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid by Licensee,
together with interest on such unpaid amounts at the rate set forth in Section 6.1 above. The Parties will endeavor in such inspection
to minimize disruption of Licensee’s normal business activities to the extent reasonably practicable.

7.1
Manufacturing by Angionetics. During the First Royalty Term of the Agreement, Angionetics shall be responsible to facilitate
and coordinate the U.S.-based contract manufacturing of Products and will deliver, at Licensee’s sole discretion, either
Compound as frozen bulk supply Ad5FGF-4 or vialed finished goods of the Generx Product, to Licensee through its manufacturing
agreement with SAFC®, located in Carlsbad, California or other licensed manufacturer. If Licensee elects to receive frozen
bulk supply Ad5FGF-4, then Licensee shall be responsible to hydrate, vial and package Product finished goods for the Territory.
The transfer price that Licensee shall pay to Angionetics for fully-vialed finished goods shall be one hundred twenty percent
(120%) of Angionetics’ out-of-pocket, comprehensive standard cost per unit manufacturing costs, with fifty percent (50%)
payable prior to shipment with the remaining balance due within thirty (30) working days from Licensee’s receipt of the
finished goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more frequently than once per year, Angionetics will be permitted to increase
the transfer price by an amount proportional to the then-current and demonstrable increase in manufacturing costs. In the event
that Licensee establishes a manufacturing capability to utilize frozen bulk supply of Ad5FGF-4 to hydrate, vial and package finished
Product, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the CFDA or any other applicable Regulatory Agency, Angionetics will
agree to adjust the transfer price for Compound accordingly. Licensee shall bear all risk and costs associated to the shipment
of finished goods from the U.S.-based manufacturing facility to the Licensee. Prior to the shipment of any Product for clinical
trials, the Parties shall enter into a separate supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) which will include
provisions related to forecasting, order, shipping, delivery, payment terms, quality control, audit rights, and regulatory responsibilities.

consult with Licensee in good faith regarding the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Angionetics Patents in the Territory and
shall take into account Licensee’s reasonable comments related to such matters to the extent such comments pertain to the

any Patent within the Angionetics Patents in the Territory, with respect to any Product, and/or manufacturing and/or use thereof
in the Field, as applicable, Angionetics shall provide Licensee with at least sixty (60) days’ written notice of such decision,
prior to the deadline for filing any such Patent or the date on which such abandonment would become effective. In such event,
Licensee shall have the right, at its option, to control the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Patent. For the purposes of this
Section 9.2, “Prosecution and Maintenance” (including variations such as “Prosecute and Maintain”)

(a)
Notice. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 9.3, in the event that Licensee reasonably believes that any Angionetics IP Rights in the Territory are infringed by a
Third Party, or any of the Angionetics IP Rights are subject to a declaratory judgment action in the Territory arising from such
infringement, in each case with respect to the sale or use of a product containing a Compound (an “Infringing Product”),
Licensee shall promptly notify Angionetics. Licensee shall have the initial right (but not the obligation), at its own expense,
to enforce the Angionetics IP Rights with respect to such infringement or defend any declaratory judgment action with respect
thereto in the Territory (for purposes of this Section 9.3, an “Enforcement Action”). Angionetics shall, at
its expense, have the right to join in as a party and, in any event, shall give reasonable assistance to such Enforcement Action.
Licensee shall keep Angionetics reasonably informed of the progress of any such Enforcement Action. Licensee agrees not to settle
any Enforcement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such Enforcement Action, in a manner that would adversely

shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.


 


(b)
Initiating Enforcement Actions, In the
event that Licensee fails to initiate an Enforcement Action to enforce the Angionetics IP Rights against an infringement by a
Third Party in the Territory, which infringement consists of the sale or use of an Infringing Product in the Field in the Territory,
within one hundred eighty (180) days after a request by Angionetics to initiate such Enforcement Action, Angionetics may initiate
an Enforcement Action against such infringement at its own expense. Upon the request of Angionetics, Licensee shall cooperate
in such Enforcement Action at Angionetics’ expense. Angionetics shall keep Licensee reasonably informed of the progress
of any such Enforcement Action. Licensee shall, at its expense, have the right to join in as a party and to give reasonable assistance
to such Enforcement Action. Angionetics agrees not to settle any Enforcement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position
in such Enforcement Action, in a manner that would materially adversely affect the validity, enforceability or scope of any Angionetics
IP Rights, without the prior written consent of Licensee.


 


(c)
Recovery. Any amounts recovered by Licensee
or Angionetics with respect to any litigation undertaken pursuant to Section 9.3 above or settlement thereof shall be retained
by Angionetics shall be applied first to reimburse any actual outstanding legal expenses and out-of-pocket expenses of the action
or proceeding incurred by either Party. Any amounts remaining shall be included in Net Sales.

at the other’s reasonable request (including joining as a party to the extent necessary and requested by the other Party).


 


9.4
Third Party Infringement Claims. If the manufacture, sale or use of the Product for the Territory pursuant to this Agreement
results in a claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent infringement against Angionetics or Licensee (or their respective Affiliates
or licensees) (collectively, “Infringement Actions”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto
in writing, the Party subject to such Infringement Action shall have the right to direct and control the defense thereof; provided,
however, that the other Party may participate in the defense and/or settlement thereof at its own expense with counsel of its
choice. In any event, the Party that is subject to the Infringement Action agrees to keep the other Party hereto reasonably informed
of all material developments in connection with any such Infringement Action. The Party who is subject to the Infringement Action
agrees not to settle such Infringement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such Infringement Action, in a
manner that would adversely affect the other Party’s rights with respect to the Product in such other Party’s territory
(i.e., in the case of Licensee, the Territory for commercialization and mainland China for manufacture, and in the case of Angionetics,
countries outside of the Territory) without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.

Indemnification of Licensee. Angionetics shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Licensee, and its Affiliates and their
respective directors, officers and employees and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “licensee Indemnitees”),
from and against any and all Liabilities from any Third Party Claims incurred by any Licensee Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring
as a result of: (a) the developing, making, having made, use, marketing, distribution or sale of any Product by Angionetics or
its Product licensee(s) outside the Territory, or (b) any material breach of any representations, warranties or covenants by Angionetics
in Article 10 above.


 


13.3
Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification under Article 13 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly
notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third Party Claim, in respect of which the Indemnitee
intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense and/or settlement thereof. The
indemnity arrangement in Article 13 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any action with respect to a Third-Party
Claim, if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably.
The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect
to a Third Party Claim, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to
the Indemnitee under Article 13, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor
of any liability that it may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than under Article 13. The Indemnitee under Article 13 shall cooperate
fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action with respect to a Third-Party Claim
covered by this indemnification.


 


13.4
No Consequential Damages. EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND ANY LIABILITY FOR BREACH
OF CONFIDENTIALITY, LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF APPLICABLE INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION REPRESENTATIONS, LIABILITY DUE TO WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT, INTENTIONALLY WRONGFUL ACTS OR OMISSIONS, A PARTY’S FRAUD, OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY
OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, ARISING OUT OF,
OR RELATING TO, AND/OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF (A) WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE,
(B) WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND (C) THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED

either Party may, by written notice to the other, have such dispute referred to the CEO of Angionetics and the CEO of Licensee
for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days after such notice is received, and, in such event,
each Party shall cause its representative to meet and be available to attempt to resolve such issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
neither Party shall be obligated to negotiate for more than thirty (30) days. If the Parties should resolve such dispute or claim,
a memorandum setting forth their agreement will be prepared and signed by both Parties if requested by either Party.


 


14.2

performance or enforcement of this Agreement, not resolved pursuant to Section 14.1 shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts of the State of New York sitting in City of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York, and each Party hereby submits to such jurisdiction for the resolution of such Dispute and hereby waives the defense
of any inconvenient forum for the maintenance of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction for such purpose.


 


14.3
Interim Relief. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 14 to the contrary, Licensee and Angionetics shall each have the

GENERAL
PROVISIONS


 


15.1
Force Majeure. If the performance of any part of this Agreement (except for any payment obligation under this Agreement)
by either Party is prevented, restricted, interfered with or delayed by reason of force majeure (including, fire, flood, embargo,
power shortage or failure, acts of war, insurrection, riot, terrorism, strike, lockout or other labor disturbance or acts of God),
the Party so affected shall, upon giving written notice to the other Party, be excused from such performance to the extent of
such prevention, restriction, interference or delay; provided that the affected Party shall use its reasonable efforts to avoid
or remove such causes of nonperformance and shall continue performance with the utmost dispatch whenever such causes are removed.

15.2
Governing Law. This Agreement and all questions regarding its validity or interpretation, or the breach or performance

either Party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect such Party’s
rights at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either Party of any condition or term in any one or more instances shall
be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.

by a duly authorized representative of each Party. No provision of this Agreement shall be varied, contradicted or explained by
any oral agreement, course of dealing or performance or any other matter not set forth in an agreement in writing and signed by
a duly authorized representative of each Party.


 


15.5
Severability . In the event any provision of this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original
intent of the Parties and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction. Such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction.


 


15.6

Parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings or representations,
