6.2
(j) Alternative Payment Structure. Prior to the entering into by OV of a Program Acquirer Agreement for the Territory or
a specific part of the Territory, OV shall provide LP with information about the payments, other than royalty payments (as LP’s
rights in respect of such are regulated by Section 6.3 below), to be made by the Program Acquirer to OV for the rights granted
under the Program Acquirer Agreement in question, e.g. milestone payments and other lump sum payments, such as upfront payments.
LP shall within fifteen (15) days of receipt of this information inform OV by a written notice whether LP in respect of the Program
Acquirer Agreement in question chooses to receive payments, where relevant, according to the milestone payment principles set
out in Section 6.2(a)-(h) above or whether LP chooses to receive alternative payments as per this Section 6.2(j). LP shall not
elect to receive alternative payments without AFC’s consent in writing. If LP elects to receive alternative payments, the
following provisions shall apply, to the extent applicable, in lieu of payments which would otherwise have to be made under 6.2(a)-(h):


 


(i)
The alternative payment structure entitles LP to receive (i) if LP has not exercised its Opt-In Rights, [***] percent  [***](%),
or (ii) if LP has exercised its Opt-In Rights, [***] percent [***]%), of all amounts, other than royalty payments,
received by or on behalf of OV from the [***] Program Acquirer, or from a Third Party paying on behalf of the Program
Acquirer, in consideration of the Program Acquirer Agreement after subtraction of any amounts paid or payable by OV on the
basis of the Program Acquirer Agreement (including in respect of receipt of payments thereunder) for VAT, other taxes
(including income taxes), and other fees and payments to Governmental Authorities, including in respect of the development or
distribution of the Products, and payments made by the Program Acquirer to compensate OV’s documented reasonable costs of any
kind, including Regulatory Costs (the “Alternative Payment Basis”).

(ii) Payments
to LP as per the alternative payment structure shall be made by OV within thirty (30) days of OV’s receipt on account of any subject
payment(s) from the Program Acquirer.


 


(iii) LP’s
choice with regard to the application of the alternative payment structure is binding and irrevocable.


 


(iv) If
LP chooses to receive payment as per the alternative payment structure, LP shall, with regard to the Program Acquirer Agreement
in question and any clinical trials, research, Development, filings, etc. carried out by the Program Acquirer under the agreement,
have no right or claim against OV or the Program Acquirer in respect of any payment as per Section 6.2(a)-(h), irrespective that
the Program Acquirer Agreement in question may comprise the EU and/or the U.S. and irrespective that the Program Acquirer Agreement
may contain an obligation for the Program Acquirer to pay milestone payments in respect of milestone events identical or similar
to those set out in Section 6.2(a)-(h). This has the implication that LP will not have a right to receive, for example, payment
as per Section 6.2(c) if LP has elected to receive alternative payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LP shall, subject to Section
6.2(j)(vi), retain the option to receive alternative payments in respect of any Program Acquirer Agreement presented as per the
above after the receipt of a milestone payment from OV.


 


(v) If
LP does not provide written notice to OV of its election to receive alternative payments within the aforementioned fifteen (15)
Business Days period or if LP notifies OV that it for the Program Acquirer Agreement in question chooses to opt for application
of the payment principles set out in Section 6.2(a)-(h), the principles set out in Section 6.2(a)-(h) shall, where relevant, apply
in respect of the Program Acquirer Agreement in question and LP shall, in respect of the Program Acquirer Agreement in question,
have no right or claim for alternative payment as per this Section 6.2(j).


 


(vi)
In the event a Program Acquirer Agreement is presented after payment of one or more milestone payments under 6.2(a)-(e), the alternative
payment amount(s) otherwise payable to LP in respect of the Program Acquirer Agreement in question (calculated as per subsection
(iv) above) shall prior to payment to LP be reduced to the extent of any milestone payments already paid to LP by OV. For example,
if a Program Acquirer Agreement (having the U.S. as its applicable jurisdiction or part of its applicable jurisdiction) is presented
in accordance with this Section after OV has paid a milestone payment as per Section 6.2(a) for treatment of first patient in
a Phase 3 Clinical Trial, whether in the U.S. or in another jurisdiction, and OV has not yet filed for Regulatory Approval in
the U.S., and assuming LP has not exercised its Opt-In Rights, the calculated alternative payment amount shall be reduced by [***]
U.S dollars ($[***]) before payment to LP and LP shall only be entitled to receive the reduced amount. 6.10 Undertake Payments.
As consideration for AFC entering into the Letter Agreement and AFC’s modification of the Technology License Agreement with
LP, OV as promisor agrees to make the direct payments to AFC on behalf of LP as outlined in Exhibit L, solely to the extent
that OV is responsible to make the specified payments thereon to LANTERN under this Addendum (as this Addendum supersedes the
Drug License and Development Agreement). LANTERN acknowledges and agrees that such direct payments to AFC (or any designee) shall
reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amounts which OV owes to LANTERN with respect to each such payment obligation specified in Exhibit
L.

Assignment and Succession. Except as expressly stated herein, neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that a Party may make such an assignment
without the other Party’s consent to such Party’s Affiliate or to a successor (including Program Acquirer) in connection
with the transfer of (a) all or substantially all of the business of such Party relating to this Agreement, and/or (b) in the
case of OV, that portion of OV’s business to which this Agreement pertains (including OV’s rights and obligations

Parties, except that AFC is a third party beneficiary as per Section 3.9 and 3.10 with respect to payments under 6.10, 6.11 and
7.1. Without limitation, this Agreement will not be construed so as to grant employees of either party in any country any rights
against the other Party pursuant to the laws of such country.
