H-Cyte
acknowledges that Rion is not in the business of providing services similar to the Services to entities outside Rion’s group
and that the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in that context. The Services shall be provided in accordance with
Rion’s practices as carried out in the ordinary course of business and shall be subject to the limitations, restrictions
and other conditions that may from time to time apply to the respective lease, license, services and other agreements of Rion
and/or its Affiliates with third party providers. Rion makes no representations and warranties of any kind, implied or expressed,
with respect to the Services, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose,
which are specifically disclaimed. Except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, Rion shall have no liability to any person
based on any claim of negligence with respect to the Services hereunder.


 


H-Cyte
further acknowledges as follows: (a) Rion’s efforts to provide the Services hereunder will be secondary to Rion’s
primary and continuing operations; (b) the Services will be provided by Rion personnel assigned by Rion, and Rion will have no
obligation to hire new personnel to replace any terminated employee providing Services from time to time; (c) all Services will
be provided using only Rion’s physical and other resources existing from time to time; (d) Services will be provided, as
reasonably requested by H-Cyte, during regular business hours and under regular business conditions; and (e) H-Cyte’s obligations
with respect to the Services will be solely as set forth herein and Rion will have no obligation to adhere to any policies or
procedures of H-Cyte. H-Cyte acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in the equipment used by Rion
to perform the services, including, but not limited to, the right to lease such equipment.


 


H-Cyte
acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement does not create a fiduciary relationship, partnership, joint venture or relationships
of trust or agency between the parties and that all Services are provided by Rion as an independent contractor. For the avoidance
of doubt, the provision of Services hereunder shall not entail any transfer of ownership of any assets from Rion to H-Cyte. H-Cyte
and Rion will each maintain their appropriate permits, licenses, exemptions and authorizations from governmental authorities to
conduct the activities required hereunder.


 


6.
Termination. Either party may (without prejudice to its other rights or remedies), by notice to the other, bring the Term
to an immediate end if the other party:


 


(a)
is in material or persistent breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement and either that breach
is incapable of remedy or the other party has failed to remedy that breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice
requiring it to remedy that breach;


 


(b)
is unable to pay its debts or becomes insolvent or an order is made or a resolution passed for the administration, winding-up
or dissolution of the other party (otherwise than for the purposes of a solvent merger or reconstruction) or an administrative
or other receiver, manager, liquidator, administrator, trustee or similar officer is appointed over all or any substantial part
of the assets of the other party; or


 


(c) fails to pay any sum payable under this Agreement when due and that default is not remedied
on or before the date falling thirty (30) days after the date when the party in delay received a written notice from the other

shall not affect any accrued rights and obligations of the parties in respect of that Service at the date of termination. The
expiration or termination of the supply of a Service under this Agreement shall not affect the parties’ rights and obligations
in respect of other Services supplied under this Agreement.

Information. H-Cyte and Rion shall provide each other with all information and materials reasonably necessary to perform

such Services or any portion thereof; provided that H-Cyte shall be responsible for any termination or other expenses incurred

or stock on hand held by Rion for the provision of Services hereunder for the sixty (60) days following notice.


 


9,
Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. Rion shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless H-Cyte and its affiliates and

gross negligence or willful misconduct of Rion in connection with the provision of, or failure to provide, any Services to H-Cyte.
H-Cyte shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Rion and its affiliates and each of their respective representatives (collectively,
the “Rion Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses or damages of the Rion Indemnified Parties
relating to, arising out of or resulting from the intentional breach, gross negligence or willful misconduct of H-Cyte in connection
with the Services provided by Rion pursuant to this Agreement. The aggregate liability of either party in respect of any losses
or damages suffered by the other party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, for breach
of statutory duty or in any other way, hall be limited to the amount of fees paid or payable hereunder. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, where a Service has been provided by Rion through a third party provider, Rion shall, in the event of any losses
or damages suffered by the H-Cyte Indemnified Parties, not be liable to the H-Cyte Indemnified Parties in excess of what Rion,
acting in a prudent manner, has collected from such third party provider pursuant to the prevailing contract between H-Cyte and
the third party provider.


 


In
no event shall Rion have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special

or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple, whether based on statute,
