 Page 3 








 
terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) be consistent with the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, (c) prohibit SUBLICENSEE’S further sublicense of the rights

needs, and, (iii) other rights acquired by the United States government under the laws and regulations applicable to the grant/contract award under which the inventions were made. 

ARTICLE 3 

FEES, ROYALTIES, & PAYMENTS 

3.1    License Fee. Company shall pay to JHU a license fee as set forth in Exhibit A. Five
thousand dollars shall be due within thirty (30) days following the execution of this License Agreement and the remaining balance shall be due within one hundred eighty (180) days following the execution of this License Agreement. JHU will
not submit an invoice for the license fee, which is nonrefundable and shall not be credited against royalties or other fees. 

3.2    Minimum Annual Royalties. Company shall pay to JHU minimum annual royalties as set
forth in Exhibit A. These minimum annual royalties shall be due, without invoice from JHU, within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the EFFECTIVE DATE beginning with the second anniversary. Running royalties accrued under Paragraph
3.3 and paid to JHU during the one year period preceding an anniversary of the EFFECTIVE DATE shall be credited against the minimum annual royalties due on that anniversary date. 

 

 Page 4 








 3.3    Running
Royalties.    Company shall pay to JHU a running royalty as set forth in Exhibit A, for each LICENSED PRODUCT(S) sold, and for each LICENSED SERVICE(S) provided, by Company or AFFILIATED COMPANIES, based on NET SALES
and NET SERVICE REVENUES for the term of this Agreement. Such payments shall be made quarterly. All non-US taxes related to LICENSED PRODUCT(S) or LICENSED SERVICE(S) sold under this Agreement shall be paid by Company and shall not be deducted from
royalty or other payments due to JHU. 
 In order to insure JHU the full royalty payments contemplated
hereunder, Company agrees that in the event any LICENSED PRODUCT(S) shall be sold to an AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE(S) or to a corporation, firm or association with which Company shall have any agreement, understanding or arrangement with
respect to consideration (such as, among other things, an option to purchase stock or actual stock ownership, or an arrangement involving division of profits or special rebates or allowances) the royalties to be paid hereunder for such LICENSED
PRODUCT(S) shall be based upon the greater of: 1) the net selling price (per NET SALES) at which the purchaser of LICENSED PRODUCT(S) resells such product to the end user, 2) the NET SERVICE REVENUES received from using the LICENSED PRODUCT(S) in
providing a service, 3) the fair market value of the LICENSED PRODUCT(S) or 4) the net selling price (per NET SALES) of LICENSED PRODUCT(S) paid by the purchaser. 

No multiple royalty shall be due or payable because any LICENSED PRODUCT(S) or LICENSED SERVICE(S) is covered by more
than one patent of the PATENT RIGHTS whether in this License Agreement or the 1998 License Agreement. The royalty shall not be cumulative based on the number of patents covering a product or service, but rather shall be capped at [***] of NET SALES
REVENUES and/or NET SERVICE REVENUES. 
 3.4    Sublicense Consideration. Company
shall pay to JHU a percentage of consideration received for sublicenses under this Agreement as set forth in Exhibit A. This sublicense consideration shall be due, without the need for invoice from JHU, within forty-five (45) days of the
effective date of each sublicense agreement. Such consideration shall mean consideration of any kind received by the Company or AFFILIATED COMPANIES from a SUBLICENSEE(S) for the grant of a sublicense under this Agreement, such as upfront fees or
milestone fees, running royalties and including any premium paid by the SUBLICENSEE(S) over Fair Market Value for stock of the Company or an AFFILIATED COMPANY in consideration for such sublicense. However, not included in such sublicense
consideration are amounts paid to the Company or an AFFILIATED COMPANY by the SUBLICENSEE(S) for product development, research work, clinical studies and regulatory approvals performed by or for the Company or AFFILIATED COMPANIES (including third
parties on their behalf), each pursuant to a specific agreement including a performance plan and commensurate budget. The term “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average price that the stock in question is publicly trading at for twenty
(20) days prior to the announcement of its purchase by the SUBLICENSEE(S) or if the stock is not publicly traded, the value of such stock as determined by the most recent private financing through a financial investor (an entity whose sole
interest in the Company or AFFILIATED COMPANY is financial) of the Company or AFFILIATED COMPANY that issued the shares.

 The sublicensing income payable to JHU shall be capped such that the aggregate amount payable to JHU shall
be capped at [***] of all sublicensing income whether such income is attributed to technology licensed under this License Agreement and/or the 1998 Agreement, each as may be amended from time to time. 

3.5    Patent Reimbursement. Company will reimburse JHU, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an
invoice from JHU, for all costs associated with the preparation, filing, maintenance, and prosecution of PATENT RIGHTS incurred by JHU on or before the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement. In accordance with Paragraph 4.1 below, Company will reimburse
JHU, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an invoice from JHU, for all costs associated with the preparation, filing, maintenance, and prosecution of PATENT RIGHTS incurred by JHU subsequent to the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement.

 3.6    Form of Payment. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Checks
are to be made payable to “The Johns Hopkins University”. Wire transfers may be made through: 
 [***] 

Company shall be responsible for any and all costs associated with wire transfers. 

3.7    Late Payments. In the event that any payment due hereunder is not made when due, the payment shall
accrue interest beginning on the tenth day following the due date thereof, calculated at the annual rate of the sum of (a) two percent (2%) plus (b) the prime interest rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal on the date said payment is
due, the interest being compounded on the last day of each calendar quarter, provided however, that in no event shall said annual interest rate exceed the maximum legal interest rate for corporations. Each such payment when made shall be accompanied
by all interest so accrued. Said interest and the payment and acceptance thereof shall not negate or waive the right of JHU to seek any other remedy, legal or equitable, to which it may be entitled because of the delinquency of any payment
including, but not limited to termination of this Agreement as set forth in Paragraph 9.2.

 ARTICLE 4 

PATENT PROSECUTION, MAINTENANCE, & INFRINGEMENT 

4.1     Prosecution & Maintenance.    Company, at its own
expense, shall file, prosecute and maintain all patens and patent applications specified under PATENT RIGHTS and Company shall be licensed thereunder. Title to all such patents and patent applications shall reside in JHU. Company shall control over
all patent matters in connection therewith under the PATENT RIGHTS, subject to review and approval by JHU, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and shall keep JHU informed of its actions by sending copies of all filings with the PTO to
JHU. In any country where Company elects not to have a patent application filed or fails to prosecute or maintain a patent application or patent, JHU may file, prosecute, and/or maintain a patent application or patent at its own expense and for its
own exclusive benefit and Company thereafter shall not be licensed under such patent or patent application. 

4.2    Notification.    Each party will notify the other promptly in
writing when any infringement by another is uncovered or suspected. 

4.3    Infringement.    Company shall have the first right to enforce any
patent within PATENT RIGHTS against any infringement or alleged infringement thereof, and shall at all times keep JHU informed as to the status thereof. Before Company commences an action with respect to any infringement of such patents, Company
shall give careful consideration to the views of JHU and to potential effects on the public interest in making its decision whether or not to sue. Thereafter, Company may, at its own expense, institute suit against any such infringer or alleged
infringer and control and defend such suit in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions hereof and recover any damages, awards or settlements resulting therefrom, subject to Paragraph 4.5. However, no settlement, consent judgment or other
voluntary final disposition of the suit may be entered into without the prior written consent of JHU, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This right to sue for infringement shall not be used in an arbitrary or capricious manner. JHU
shall reasonably cooperate in any such litigation at Company’s expense. 
 If Company elects not to enforce any patent
within the PATENT RIGHTS, then it shall so notify JHU in writing within ninety (90) days of receiving notice that an infringement exists, and JHU may, in its sole judgment and at its own expense, take steps to enforce any patent and control,
settle, and defend such suit in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions hereof, and recover, for its own account, any damages, awards or settlements resulting therefrom. 

4.4    Patent Invalidity Suit.    If a declaratory judgment action is
brought naming Company as a defendant and alleging invalidity of any of the PATENT RIGHTS, JHU may elect to take over the sole defense of the action at its own expense. Company shall cooperate fully with JHU in connection with any such action.

 4.5    Recovery.    Any recovery by Company under Paragraph
4.3 shall be deemed to reflect loss of commercial sales, and Company shall pay to JHU [***] of the recovery net of all reasonable costs and expenses associated with each suit or settlement. If the cost and expenses exceed the recovery, then [***] of
the excess shall be credited against royalties payable by Company to JHU hereunder in connection with sales of LICENSED PRODUCT

covered in the PATENT RIGHTS which are the subject of the infringement suit, in the country of such legal proceedings, provided, however, that any such credit under this Paragraph shall not
exceed [***] of the royalties otherwise payable to JHU with regard to sales in the country of such action in any one calendar year, with any excess credit being carried forward to future calendar years. 

ARTICLE 5 

OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES 

5.1     Reports.    Company shall provide to JHU the following
written reports according to the following schedules. 
 (a) Company shall provide quarterly Royalty Reports,
substantially in the format of Exhibit B and due within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter following the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement. Royalty Reports shall disclose the amount of LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and LICENSED
SERVICE(S) sold, the total NET SALES and NET SERVICE REVENUES of such LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and LICENSED SERVICE(S), and the running royalties due to JHU as a result of NET SALES and NET SERVICE REVENUES by Company, AFFILIATED COMPANIES and
SUBLICENSEE(S) thereof. Payment of any such royalties due shall accompany such Royalty Reports. 
 (b) Until
Company, an AFFILIATED COMPANY or a SUBLICENSEE(S) has achieved a first commercial sale of a LICENSED PRODUCT or LICENSED SERVICE, or received FDA market approval, Company shall provide semiannual Diligence Reports, due within thirty (30) days
of the end of every June and December following the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement. These Diligence Reports shall describe Company’s, AFFILIATED COMPANIES or any SUBLICENSEE(S)’s technical efforts towards meeting its obligations under
the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c) Company shall provide Annual Reports within thirty (30) days of the end
of every December following the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement. Annual Reports shall include: 
 (i) evidence
of insurance as required under Paragraph 10.4, or, a statement of why such insurance is not currently required, and 

(ii) identification of all AFFILIATED COMPANIES which have exercised rights pursuant to Paragraph 2.1, or, a statement
that no AFFILIATED COMPANY has exercised such rights, and 
 (iii) notice of all FDA approvals of any LICENSED
PRODUCT(S) or LICENSED SERVICE(S) obtained by COMPANY, AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE, the patent(s) or patent application(s) licensed under this Agreement upon which such product or service is based, and the commercial name of such product or
service, or, in the alternative, a statement that no FDA approvals have been obtained. 
 5.2    Records.

with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment. 
  


 Page 8 








 
sales and other information required in Paragraph 5.1. Such books and records shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Company shall permit the
inspection and copying of such records, files and books of account by JHU or its agents during regular business hours upon ten (10) business days’ written notice to Company. Such inspection shall not be made more than once each calendar
year. All costs of such inspection and copying shall be paid by JHU, provided that if any such inspection shall reveal that an error has been made in the amount equal to five percent (5%) or more of such payment, such costs shall be borne by
Company. As a condition to entering into any such agreement, Company shall include in any agreement with its AFFILIATED COMPANIES or its SUBLICENSEE(S) which permits such party to make, use, sell or import the LICENSED PRODUCT(S) or provide LICENSED
SERVICE(S), a provision requiring such party to retain records of sales of LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and records of LICENSED SERVICE(S) and other information as required in Paragraph 5.1 and permit JHU to inspect such records as required by this
Paragraph. 
 5.3    Reasonable Efforts.      Company
shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to develop and to introduce the LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and/or LICENSED SERVICE(S) into the commercial market as soon as practicable, consistent with sound and reasonable business practice and judgment;
thereafter, until the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Company shall endeavor to keep LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and/or LICENSED SERVICE(S) reasonably available to the public. Company shall also exercise reasonable efforts to develop LICENSED
PRODUCT(S) suitable for different indications within the LICENSED FIELD, so that the PATENT RIGHTS can be commercialized as broadly and as speedily as good scientific and business judgment would deem possible. 

5.4    Other Products. After clinical or other evidence, provided in writing [***], to
Company, demonstrating the practicality of a particular market or use within the LICENSED FIELD which is not being developed or commercialized by Company, Company shall either provide JHU with a reasonable development plan and start development or
attempt to reasonably sublicense the particular market or use to a third party. If within six (6) months of such written notification [***], Company has not initiated such development efforts or sublicensed that particular market or use, JHU may
terminate this license for such particular market or use. This Paragraph shall not be applicable if Company reasonably demonstrates to JHU that commercializing such LICENSED PRODUCT(S) or LICENSED SERVICE(S) or granting such a sublicense in said
market or use would have a potentially adverse commercial effect upon marketing or sales of the LICENSED PRODUCT(S) developed and being sold by Company. 

5.5    Patent Acknowledgement. Company agrees that all packaging containing individual
LICENSED PRODUCT(S) sold by Company, AFFILIATED COMPANIES and SUBLICENSEE(S) of Company will be marked with the number of the applicable patent(s) licensed hereunder in accordance with each country’s patent laws.

 ARTICLE 6 

REPRESENTATIONS 

6.1  Duties of the Parties.    JHU is not a commercial organization. It is an
institute of research and education. Therefore, JHU has no ability to evaluate the commercial potential of any PATENT RIGHTS or LICENSED PRODUCT or other license or rights granted in this Agreement. It is therefore incumbent upon Company to evaluate
the rights and products in question, to examine the materials and information provided by JHU, and to determine for itself the validity of any PATENT RIGHTS, its freedom to operate, and the value of any LICENSED PRODUCTS or SERVICES or other rights
granted. 
 6.2  Representations by JHU. JHU warrants that it has good and marketable title to
its interest in the inventions claimed under PATENT RIGHTS with the exception of certain retained rights of the United States Government, which may apply if any part of the JHU research was funded in whole or in part by the United States Government.
JHU does not warrant the validity of any patents or that practice under such patents shall be free of infringement. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH 6.2, COMPANY, AFFILIATED COMPANIES AND SUBLICENSEE(S) AGREE THAT THE PATENT RIGHTS
ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, AND THAT JHU MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF LICENSED PRODUCT(S) AND LICENSED SERVICE(S) INCLUDING THEIR SAFETY, EFFECTIVENESS, OR COMMERCIAL VIABILITY. JHU DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO PRODUCT(S) AND SERVICE(S) LICENSED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF
THIS AGREEMENT, JHU ADDITIONALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF JHU AND INVENTORS, FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ATTORNEYS’ AND EXPERTS’ FEES,
AND COURT COSTS (EVEN IF JHU HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, FEES OR COSTS), ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE MANUFACTURE, USE, OR SALE OF THE PRODUCT(S) AND SERVICE(S) LICENSED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. COMPANY, AFFILIATED
COMPANIES AND SUBLICENSEE(S) ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY A PRODUCT AND/OR SERVICE MANUFACTURED, USED, OR SOLD BY COMPANY, ITS SUBLICENSEE(S) AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES WHICH IS A LICENSED PRODUCT(S) OR LICENSED
SERVICE(S) AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT. 
 ARTICLE 7 

INDEMNIFICATION 

7.1 Indemnification. JHU and the Inventors will have no legal liability exposure to third parties if JHU does not
license the LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and LICENSED SERVICE(S), and any royalties JHU and the Inventors may receive is not adequate compensation for such legal liability exposure. Therefore, JHU requires Company to protect JHU and Inventors from such

  

 Page 10 








 
exposure to the same manner and extent to which insurance, if available, would protect JHU and Inventors. Furthermore, JHU and the Inventors will not, under the provisions of this Agreement or
otherwise, have control over the manner in which Company or its AFFILIATED COMPANIES or its SUBLICENSEE(S) or those operating for its account or third parties who purchase LICENSED PRODUCT(S) or LICENSED SERVICE(S) from any of the foregoing
entities, develop, manufacture, market or practice the inventions of LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and LICENSED SERVICE(S). Therefore, Company, AFFILIATED COMPANY and SUBLICENSEE shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to JHU, and hold JHU,
The Johns Hopkins Health Systems, their present and former trustees, officers, Inventors of PATENT RIGHTS, agents, faculty, employees and students harmless as against any judgments, fees, expenses, or other costs arising from or incidental to any
product liability or other lawsuit, claim, demand or other action brought as a consequence of the practice of said inventions by any of the foregoing entities, whether or not JHU or said Inventors, either jointly or severally, is named as a party
defendant in any such lawsuit and whether or not JHU or the Inventors are alleged to be negligent or otherwise responsible for any injuries to persons or property. Practice of the inventions covered by LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and LICENSED SERVICE(S), by
an AFFILIATED COMPANY or an agent or a SUBLICENSEE(S) or a third party on behalf of or for the account of Company or by a third party who purchases LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and LICENSED SERVICE(S) from Company, shall be considered Company’s practice
of said inventions for purposes of this Paragraph. The obligation of Company to defend and indemnify as set out in this Paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement, shall continue even after assignment of rights and responsibilities to
an affiliate or sublicensee, and shall not be limited by any other limitation of liability elsewhere in this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 8

consider to be confidential. The recipient of such information agrees to accept the disclosure of said information which is marked as confidential at the time it is sent to the recipient, and to employ all reasonable efforts to maintain the
information secret and confidential, such efforts to be no less than the degree of care employed by the recipient to preserve and safeguard its own confidential information. The information shall not be disclosed or revealed to anyone except

ARTICLE 9 

TERM & TERMINATION 

9.1    Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the EFFECTIVE DATE and shall
continue, in each country, until the date of expiration of the last to expire patent included within PATENT RIGHTS in that country or if no patents issue then for a term of twenty (20) years from the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement. 

 9.2    Termination By Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated by either
party, in the event that the other party (a) files or has filed against it a petition under the Bankruptcy Act, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, has a receiver appointed for it or a substantial part of its assets, or otherwise
takes advantage of any statute or law designed for relief of debtors or (b) fails to perform or otherwise breaches any of its obligations hereunder, if, following the giving of notice by the terminating party of its intent to terminate and
stating the grounds therefor, the party receiving such notice shall not have cured the failure or breach within thirty (30) days. In no event, however, shall such notice or intention to terminate be deemed to waive any rights to damages or any
other remedy which the party giving notice of breach may have as a consequence of such failure or breach. 

9.3    Termination by Company. Company may terminate this Agreement and the license granted
herein, for any reason, upon giving JHU ninety (90) days written notice.

 9.4  Obligations and Duties upon Termination. If this
Agreement is terminated, both parties shall be released from all obligations and duties imposed or assumed hereunder to the extent so terminated, except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement. Upon termination, both parties shall
cease any further use of the confidential information disclosed to the receiving party by the other party. Termination of this Agreement, for whatever reason, shall not affect the obligation of either party to make any payments for which it is
liable prior to or upon such termination. Termination shall not affect JHU’s right to recover unpaid royalties, fees, reimbursement for patent expenses, or other forms of financial compensation incurred prior to termination. Upon termination
Company shall submit a final royalty report to JHU and any royalty payments, fees, unreimbursed patent expenses and other financial compensation due JHU shall become immediately payable. Furthermore, upon termination of this Agreement, all rights in
and to the licensed technology shall revert immediately to JHU at no cost to JHU. Upon termination of this Agreement, any SUBLICENSEE(S) shall become a direct licensee of JHU, provided that JHU’s obligations to SUBLICENSEE(S) are no greater
than JHU’s obligations to Company under this Agreement. Company shall provide written notice of such to each SUBLICENSEE(S) with a copy of such notice provided to JHU. 

ARTICLE 10 

MISCELLANEOUS 

10.1    Use of Name. Company, AFFILIATED COMPANIES and SUBLICENSEE(S) shall not use the

fundraising documents without prior written consent from an authorized representative of JHU. Company, AFFILIATED COMPANIES and SUBLICENSEE(S) shall allow at least seven (7) business days notice of any proposed public disclosure for JHU’s
review and comment or to provide written consent. 
 10.2  No Partnership. Nothing in

with a Certificate of Insurance of each product liability insurance policy obtained. JHU shall be listed as an additional insured in Company’s said insurance policies. If such Product Liability insurance is underwritten on a ‘claims
made’ basis, Company agrees that any change in underwriters during the term of this Agreement will require the purchase of ‘prior acts’ coverage to ensure that coverage will be continuous throughout the term of this Agreement.

 10.5  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, and legal relations between the
parties hereto shall be determined, in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland applicable to contracts solely executed and wholly to be performed within the State of Maryland without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.

Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations created herein, except for the right to receive any remuneration hereunder, may be assigned by either
party, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party, except that either party shall be free to assign this Agreement in connection with any sale of substantially all of its assets without the consent of the other. Such
assignment shall be subject to JHU approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. 

10.8  No Waivers; Severability. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall constitute a
waiver of any other breach of the same or other provision of this Agreement, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing. Any provision hereof prohibited by or unenforceable under any applicable law of any jurisdiction shall as to such
jurisdiction be deemed ineffective and deleted herefrom without affecting any other provision of this Agreement. It is the desire of the parties hereto that this Agreement be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and should any provision
contained herein be held by any governmental agency or court of competent jurisdiction to be void, illegal and unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a substitute term or provision which carries out the original intent of the
parties. 
 10.10    Entire Agreement; Amendment. Company and JHU acknowledge
that they have read this entire Agreement and that this Agreement, including the attached Exhibits constitutes the entire understanding and contract between the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
communications with respect to the subject matter hereof, all of which communications are merged herein. It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) there being no expectations to the contrary between the parties hereto, no usage of trade,
verbal agreement or another regular practice or method dealing within any industry or between the parties hereto shall be used to modify, interpret, supplement or alter in any manner the express terms of this Agreement; and (ii) this Agreement
shall not be modified, amended or in any way altered except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the parties hereto. 

10.11    Delays or Omissions. Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or omission
to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto, shall impair any such right, power or remedy to such party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or in any similar
breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any
waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise
afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative. 
 10.12    Force
Majeure. If either party fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder (other than an obligation for the payment of money), when such failure is due to an act of God, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited
to fire, flood, civil commotion, riot, war (declared and undeclared), revolution, or embargoes, then said failure shall be excused for the duration of such event and for such a time thereafter as is reasonable to enable

the parties to resume performance under this Agreement, provided however, that in no event shall such time extend for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days. 

10.13      Further Assurances. Each party shall, at any time, and from time to time,
prior to or after the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement, at reasonable request of the other party, execute and deliver to the other such instruments and documents and shall take such actions as may be required to more effectively carry out the terms
of this Agreement. 
 10.14      Survival. All representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements made herein and which by their express terms or by implication are to be performed after the execution and/or termination hereof, or are prospective in nature, shall survive such execution and/or termination, as
the case may be. This shall include Paragraphs 3.7 (Late Payments), 5.2 (Records), and Articles 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. 

10.15      No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as giving any person, firm, corporation or other entity, other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

10.16      Headings. Article headings are for convenient reference and not a part of
this Agreement. All Exhibits are incorporated herein by this reference. 

10.17      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which when taken together shall be deemed but one instrument. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement shall take effect as of the EFFECTIVE DATE when it has been executed below by the duly
authorized representatives of the parties.
