 1.5         “LICENSED
PRODUCT(S)” as used herein in either singular or plural shall mean any process or method, material, compositions, drug, or other product, the manufacture, use or sale of which would constitute, but for the license granted to Company

AFFILIATED COMPANY exercises rights under this Agreement, such AFFILIATED COMPANY shall be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to indemnity and insurance provisions and royalty payments, which shall apply
to the exercise of the rights, to the same extent as would apply had this Agreement been directly between JHU and the AFFILIATED COMPANY. In addition, Company shall remain fully liable to JHU for all acts and obligations of AFFILIATED COMPANY such
that acts of the AFFILIATED COMPANY shall be considered acts of the Company.

condition to its validity and enforceability, each sublicense agreement shall: (a) incorporate by reference the 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 delivered hereunder without JHU’s prior written approval, (d) name JHU as an intended third party beneficiary of the obligations of SUBLICENSEE without imposition of
obligation or liability on the part of JHU or its Inventors to the SUBLICENSEE, (e) specifically incorporate Paragraphs 6.2 “Representations by JHU”, 7.1 “Indemnification”, 10.1 “Use of Name”, 10.4 “Product
Liability” into the body of the sublicense agreement, and cause the terms used in therein to have the same meaning as in this Agreement, and, (f) bear signature from JHU indicating JHU’s review and approval of the sublicense
agreement. Company shall provide to JHU each proposed sublicense agreement, executed by both Company and proposed SUBLICENSEE, for review, approval and signature by JHU. To the extent that any terms, conditions or limitations of any sublicense
agreement are inconsistent with this Agreement, those terms, conditions and limitations are null and void against JHU, unless JHU has approved the sublicense in writing. 

2.3        Government Rights. The United States Government may have
acquired a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced for or on behalf of the United States the inventions described in PATENT RIGHTS throughout the world. The rights granted herein are additionally
subject to: (i) the requirement that any LICENSED PRODUCT(S) produced for use or sale within the United States shall be substantially manufactured in the United States (unless a waiver under 35 USC § 204 or equivalent is granted by the
appropriate United States government agency), (ii) the right of the United States government to require JHU, or its licensees, including Company, to grant sublicenses to responsible applicants on reasonable terms when necessary to fulfill
health or safety 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 within thirty (30) days of the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement the initial license fee as set forth in
Exhibit A. 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 first anniversary. Running royalties and sublicense consideration accrued under Paragraphs 3.3 and 3.4, respectively,
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. 

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, or 3) the net selling price (per NET
SALES) of LICENSED PRODUCT(S) paid by the purchaser. 







 No multiple royalties shall be due or payable because any LICENSED
PRODUCT(S) or LICENSED SERVICE(S) is covered by more than one claim of the PATENT RIGHTS or by claims of both the PATENT RIGHTS under this Agreement and “PATENT RIGHTS” under any other license agreement between Company and JHU. The royalty
shall not be cumulative based on the number of patents or claims covering a product or service, but rather shall be capped at the rate set forth in Exhibit A. 

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 Company’s receipt. 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 greater of (a) 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, or (b) the value of such stock as determined by the most recent appraisal conducted by an independent appraiser regularly engaged in the business of valuing
businesses of the nature of Company or AFFILIATED COMPANY, as applicable. 
 In the event of a sublicense under
both this Agreement and any other license agreement between Company and JHU, the sublicensing consideration payable to JHU under this Agreement and such other license agreement(s) shall be capped such that the aggregate amount payable to JHU shall
not exceed the percentage set forth in Exhibit A of all sublicensing consideration. 

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, which costs will not
exceed[***]. 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 by either check or wire transfer. 

3.7        Payment Information. All check payments from Company to JHU
shall be sent to: 
     Director

 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. JHU, at
Company’s expense, shall file, prosecute and maintain all patents and patent applications specified under PATENT RIGHTS and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company shall be licensed thereunder. Title to all such patents
and patent applications shall reside in JHU. JHU shall have full and complete control over all patent matters in connection therewith under the PATENT RIGHTS, provided however, that JHU shall (a) cause its patent counsel to timely copy Company
on all official actions and written correspondence with any patent office and timely provide Company advance notification of any filing deadline, and (b) allow Company an opportunity to comment and advise JHU. JHU shall consider and reasonably
incorporate all comments and advice from Company and JHU shall comply with foreign filing decisions provided by Company. Upon request by Company, JHU shall consider allowing Company’s patent counsel to prosecute patent applications relating to
the PATENT RIGHTS. By concurrent written notification to JHU and its patent counsel at least thirty (30) days in advance (or later at JHU’s discretion) of any filing or response deadline, or fee due date, Company may elect not to have a
patent application filed in any particular country or region or not to pay expenses associated with prosecuting or maintaining any patent application or patent, provided that Company pays for all costs incurred up to JHU’s receipt of such
notification. Failure to provide such notification can be considered by JHU to be Company’s authorization to proceed at Company’s expense. Upon such notification, JHU may file, prosecute, and/or maintain such patent applications or patent
at its own expense and for its own benefit, and any rights or license granted hereunder held by Company, AFFILIATED COMPANIES or SUBLICENSEE(S) relating to the PATENT RIGHTS which comprise the subject of such patent applications or patent solely
with respect to the particular country or region, shall terminate. For the avoidance of any doubt, such termination shall not affect any rights or license granted hereunder held by Company, AFFILIATED COMPANIES or SUBLICENSEE(S) relating to the
PATENT RIGHTS which comprise the subject of patent applications or patents in any other country or region. 

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 

  
 [***]
Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment. 








 (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. Company shall make and retain, for a period of three
(3) years following the period of each report required by Paragraph 5.1, true and accurate records, files and books of account containing all the data reasonably required for the full computation and verification of 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 LICENSED SERVICE(S) into the commercial market as soon as practicable, consistent with sound and reasonable business practice and judgement; thereafter, until the expiration
or termination of this Agreement, Company shall endeavor to keep LICENSED PRODUCT(S) and LICENSED SERVICE(S) reasonably available to the public. 
 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 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. 

  
 [***]
Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment. 








 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 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 

CONFIDENTIALITY 
 8.1        Confidentiality. If necessary, the parties will exchange information, which they 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 employees of the recipient who have a need to know the information and who have entered into a secrecy agreement with the recipient under which such employees are required to maintain confidential the proprietary information of the recipient
and such employees shall be advised by the recipient of the confidential nature of the information and that the information shall be treated accordingly. 
 The obligations of this Paragraph 8.1 shall also apply to AFFILIATED COMPANIES and/or SUBLICENSEE(S) provided such information by Company. JHU’s, Company’s, AFFILIATED COMPANIES, and

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

SUBLICENSEE(S) with a copy of such notice provided to JHU. 
 ARTICLE 10

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.

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

(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.

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.

this Agreement. All Exhibits are incorporated herein by this reference. 

10.17      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
