	3.2	 MICHIGAN and RDLP reserve the right to license and use all aspects of the TECHNOLOGY and the Licensed Patent(s) for any use or purpose, including
the right to develop and produce Product(s). 

  

	3.3	 The license granted to LICENSEE herein shall be without the right to sublicense, except that LICENSEE may sublicense Affiliate(s) who agree to be
and are bound in writing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as LICENSEE. LICENSEE agrees to strictly monitor and enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by all Affiliate sublicensees.

  

	4.	 CONSIDERATION. 

  

	4.1	 LICENSEE shall pay to MICHIGAN a one-time, non-creditable license issue fee of
            ***            , forthwith following the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, this
Agreement and the license granted hereunder shall not become effective until such issue fee is received by MICHIGAN. 

  

	4.2	 LICENSEE shall also pay MICHIGAN, with respect to each Royalty Quarter, a royalty equal to
            ***             of the Net Sales of Product(s) of LICENSEE and Affiliates during such Royalty Quarter.

  

	4.3	 The obligation to pay MICHIGAN a royalty under this Article 4 is imposed only once with respect to the same unit of Product regardless of the number
of Valid Claims or Licensed Patent(s) covering the same; however, for purposes of determination of payments due hereunder, whenever the term “Product” may apply to a property during various stages of manufacture, use or sale, Net Sales, as
otherwise defined, shall be derived from the sale, distribution or use of such Product by LICENSEE or Affiliates at the stage of its highest invoiced value to unrelated third parties. 

  

	***	 Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

	4.4	 LICENSEE shall pay to MICHIGAN an annual license maintenance fee. This annual fee shall accrue in the Royalty Quarter ending in March of the years
specified below, and shall be due and payable and included with the report for that quarter. 

 If LICENSEE defaults in the payment of any annual license maintenance fee, and fails to remedy that default within sixty (60) days after written notice of it by MICHIGAN, then this Agreement and the license rights conveyed herein shall
terminate. 
 The annual license maintenance fees shall be as follows: 
  

	 	(1)	 In 2006 and in each year thereafter during the term of this Agreement up to and including the year in which LICENSEE first obtains FDA approval or
other governmental approval to distribute or use Product(s) in the Field of Use:             ***            .

 Also, notwithstanding (1) above (and in place of the amount therein listed, when
applicable): 
  

	 	(2)	 In the first calendar year following the year in which LICENSEE obtains the approval described in (1) above, and in each year thereafter during
the term of this Agreement up to and including the year in which the First Diagnostic Sale occurs:             ***        ;

 Also, notwithstanding (1-2) above (and in place of the amounts therein listed, when
applicable): 
  

	 	(3)	 In the first calendar year following the First Diagnostic Sale:            
***        ; 

  

	 	(4)	 In the second year following the First Diagnostic Sale:            
***        ; 

  

	 	(5)	 In the third year following the First Diagnostic Sale:            
***        ; and 

  

	 	(6)	 In the fourth year following the First Diagnostic Sale, and in each year thereafter during the term of this
Agreement;            ***            . 

 Each annual fee paid under (3-6) above may be credited by LICENSEE in full against all earned royalties otherwise to be paid to MICHIGAN under Paragraph 4.2 for the calendar year in
which the specific annual fee is paid. The year for which such credits against royalties may be taken includes the Royalty Quarter in which the annual fee accrues and the next three Royalty Quarters. 
 Each annual fee paid under (1-2) above may be credited by LICENSEE in full against all earned royalties otherwise to be paid
to MICHIGAN under Paragraph 4.2 after such annual fee is paid. 
  

	4.5	 If LICENSEE takes any license(s), in a given country, under valid third party patents (i.e., those held by a licensor that is not an Affiliate of
LICENSEE) which would be 

  

	***	 Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

	 	 
infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of Product(s) in that country, then LICENSEE can deduct up to
            ***             of the royalties otherwise due and payable in each Royalty Quarter under Paragraph 4.2 above for Net
Sales in that country, until such time as LICENSEE has recovered an amount equal to             ***             of the royalty
paid to such third parties; provided that in no event shall such deducted amounts be applied to reduce or require reimbursement of the annual fees required under Paragraph 4.4. This Paragraph is not intended to imply an obligation upon MICHIGAN or
RDLP to reimburse LICENSEE’S above-described third-party royalties; the rights granted to LICENSEE in this Paragraph shall not exceed the ability of the above-described mechanism (i.e., a deduction of
            ***             of royalties due upon Net Sales in the country in question) to reimburse such expenses. LICENSEE
shall make an accounting to MICHIGAN of all such third-party royalties, and all resulting deductions from royalties otherwise due and payable to MICHIGAN, as part of its reporting obligations under Article 5 below. 

  

	4.6	 If MICHIGAN and RDLP grant a license under the Licensed Patent(s) and in the Field of Use to any third party which is substantially the same as the
license granted to LICENSEE under Article 3 above, for all or any part of the Territory, but which requires a royalty rate or license maintenance fees lower than those required of LICENSEE under this Agreement, then MICHIGAN and RDLP shall offer
those terms to LICENSEE for that part of the Territory, to be effective as of the effective date of the license to that third party. 

  

	5.	 REPORTS. 

  

	5.1	 Within sixty (60) days after the close of (i) any Royalty Quarter in which a fee under Paragraph 4.4 accrues, and (ii) each Royalty
Quarter following the First Diagnostic Sale during the term of this Agreement (including the close of any Royalty Quarter immediately following any termination of this Agreement), LICENSEE shall report to MICHIGAN all royalties accruing to MICHIGAN
during such Royalty Quarter. Such quarterly reports shall indicate for each Royalty Quarter the gross sales and Net Sales of Product(s) by LICENSEE and Affiliates, and any other revenues with respect to which payments are due, and the amount of such
payments, as well as the various calculations used to arrive at said amounts, including the quantity, description (nomenclature and type designation), country of manufacture and country of sale of Product(s). In case no payment is due for any such
period, LICENSEE shall so report. 

  

	5.2	 LICENSEE covenants that it will promptly establish and consistently employ a system of specific nomenclature and type designations for Product(s) so
that various types can be identified and segregated, where necessary; LICENSEE and Affiliates shall consistently employ such system when rendering invoices thereon and henceforth agree to inform MICHIGAN, or its auditors, when requested as to the
details concerning such nomenclature system as well as to all additions thereto and changes therein. 

  

	***	 Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

for the computation and verification of payments to be made as provided by this Agreement, which records and books shall be open for inspection upon reasonable notice during business hours by an independent certified accountant selected by MICHIGAN,
for the purpose of verifying the amount of payments due and payable. Said right of inspection will exist for six (6) years from the date of origination of any such record, and this requirement and right of inspection shall survive any
expiration or termination of this Agreement MICHIGAN shall be responsible for all expenses of such inspection, except that if such inspection reveals an underpayment of royalties to MICHIGAN in excess of
            ***             for any year, then said inspection shall be at LICENSEE’S expense and such underpayment shall
become immediately due and payable to MICHIGAN.

licensed hereunder, hereinafter collectively referred to as “LICENSEE”), and HSC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a partnership organized and subsisting under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (“RDLP”).
LICENSEE and RDLP agree as follows: 
  

	1.	 BACKGROUND. 

  

	1.1	 The Research Institute of The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, (“HSC”) has conducted research relating to cystic
fibrosis. As a result of that research, RDLP has developed rights, including potential patent rights, in the “Licensed Patent(s)” that are defined below. 

  

	1.2	 LICENSEE desires to obtain, and RDLP, consistent with its mission of education and research, desires to grant a license of the “Licensed
Patent(s)” on the terms and conditions listed below. 

  

	2.	 DEFINITIONS. 

  

	2.1	 “TECHNOLOGY”, as used in this Agreement, shall mean the information, manufacturing techniques, data, designs or concepts developed by HSC,
covering mutations in the gene for cystic fibrosis and uses thereof as encompassed by the claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,981,178 and U.S. Patent No. 6,001,588 entitled “Introns and Exons of the Cystic Fibrosis Gene and Mutations at
Various Positions of the Gene”. 

  

	2.2	 “Parties”, in singular or plural usage as required by the context, shall mean LICENSEE and/or RDLP. 

  

	2.3	 “Affiliate(s)” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other entity controlled by, controlling, or under
common control with LICENSEE through equity ownership, ability to elect directors, or by virtue of a majority of overlapping directors, and shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other entity directly or indirectly
owning, owned by or under common ownership with LICENSEE to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares, including shares owned beneficially by such party. 

  

	2.4	 “Licensed Patent(s)” shall mean U.S. Patent No. 5,981,178, U.S. Patent No. 6,001,588 and PCT Patent Application

 FINAL – March 1, 2006 
  

	 	 
Positions of the Gene” and all foreign equivalent patent applications and Patent Cooperation Treaty filings, and all patents issuing therefrom, in which RDLP has or acquires a property
interest, the current list of such applications is attached herewith as Appendix I. “Licensed Patent(s)” shall also include any divisional, continuation, reissue, reexamination or extension of the above-described patent applications and
resulting patents, along with any extended or restored term, and any confirmation patent, registration patent, or patent of addition. 

  

	2.5	 “Valid Claim(s)” means any claim(s) in an unexpired patent or pending in a patent application included within the Licensed Patents which
has not been held unenforceable, unpatentable, or invalid by a decision of a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, unappealable or unappealed within the time allowed for appeal, and which has not been admitted to be invalid
or unenforceable through reissue or disclaimer. If in any country there should be two or more such decisions conflicting with respect to the validity of the same claim, the decision of the higher or highest tribunal shall thereafter control;
however, should the tribunals be of equal rank, then the decision or decisions upholding the claim shall prevail when the conflicting decisions are equal in number, and the majority of decisions shall prevail when the conflicting decisions are
unequal in number. 

  

	2.6	 “Product(s)” shall mean any product(s) whose manufacture, use or sale in any country would, but for this Agreement, comprise an
infringement, including contributory infringement, of one or more Valid Claims. 

  

	2.7	 “Field of Use” shall refer to the field for which Products may be designed, manufactured, used and/or marketed under this Agreement, and
shall mean solely Products to be used for the research of, diagnosis of and screening for the disease cystic fibrosis.

a form other than cash or its equivalent, the fair market value thereof when received) by LICENSEE and its Affiliates from persons or entities due to or by reason of the sale or other distribution of Products, or the use of Products, including any
use by LICENSEE and Affiliates in the performance of services for their customers; less the following deductions and offsets, but only to the extent such sums are otherwise included in the computation of Net Sales, or are paid by LICENSEE and not
otherwise reimbursed: refunds, rebates, replacements or credits actually allowed and taken by purchasers for return of Products; customary trade, quantity and cash discounts actually allowed and taken; excise, value-added, and sales taxes actually
paid by LICENSEE for Products; and shipping and handling charges actually paid by LICENSEE for Products. 

 If a Product is intended for the identification of more than one mutation associated with the disease cystic fibrosis, then the Net Sales of the Product shall

  

 2 

 FINAL – March 1, 2006 
  

 
be multiplied with the factor [a:b] where “a” is number of mutations that are identified by the Product and that are covered by a Valid Claim of the Licensed Patents and “b”
is the total number of mutations that are identified by the Product provided, however, that the maximum reduction in the calculation of Net Sales resulting from the above described multiplication factor shall be
            ***            . 
  

	2.9	 “Royalty Quarter(s)” shall mean the three-month periods ending on the last day of March, June, September and December of each
year. 

  

	2.10	 “Territory” means all countries of the world. 

  

	2.11	 “First Diagnostic Sale” shall mean the first sale of any Product (including any sale of a service using a Product in the Field of Use) by
LICENSEE or an Affiliate, other than for use in clinical trials being conducted to obtain FDA approval or other government approvals to market Products in accordance with the statutes of any other country, or subdivision thereof, in the Territory.

  

	3.	 GRANT OF LICENSE. 

  

	3.1	 RDLP hereby grants to LICENSEE a non-exclusive license under the Licensed Patents and TECHNOLOGY to make, have made, use (including use in the
performance of services for, by or on behalf of its customers), have used, import, market, and/or sell in the Territory, Products designed and marketed solely for use in the Field of Use. 

  

	3.2	 RDLP reserves the right to license and use all aspects of the TECHNOLOGY and the Licensed Patents for any use or purpose, including the right to
develop and produce Products. 

  

	3.3	 The license granted to LICENSEE herein shall be without the right to sublicense, except that LICENSEE may sublicense Affiliate(s) who agree to be
and are bound in writing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as LICENSEE. LICENSEE agrees to strictly monitor and enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by all Affiliate sublicensees.

  

	4.	 CONSIDERATION. 

  

	4.1	 LICENSEE shall pay to RDLP a one-time, non-creditable, license issue fee of

 FINAL – March 1, 2006 
  

	4.2	 LICENSEE shall also pay RDLP, with respect to each Royalty Quarter, a royalty equal to
            ***             of the Net Sales of Products of LICENSEE and Affiliates during such Royalty Quarter.

  

	4.3	 The obligation to pay RDLP a royalty under this Article 4 is imposed only once with respect to the same unit of Product regardless of the
number of Valid Claims or Licensed Patents covering the same; however, for purposes of determination of payments due hereunder, whenever the term “Product” may apply to a property during various stages of manufacture, use or sale, Net
Sales, as otherwise defined, shall be derived from the sale, distribution or use of such Product by LICENSEE or Affiliates at the stage of its highest invoiced value to unrelated third parties. 

  

	4.4	 LICENSEE shall pay to RDLP an annual minimum royalty commencing in the calendar year 2006 as follows: 

  

	 	(1)	 In 2006:             ***        ; and

  

	 	(2)	 In 2007 and each year thereafter during the term of this Agreement:
            ***            . 

 This annual minimum royalty shall accrue in the Royalty Quarter ending in March of each calendar year of the years specified above and shall be due and payable and included in
the report for that quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the year 2006, such annual minimum royalty shall be due and payable on June 30, 2006. If LICENSEE defaults in the payment of any annual minimum royalty, and fails to remedy that
default within thirty (30) days after written notice of it by RDLP, then this Agreement and the license rights conveyed herein shall terminate. 
 Each annual minimum royalty paid under 4.4 (1) to (2) above may be credited by LICENSEE in full against all earned royalties otherwise to be paid to RDLP under Paragraph 4.2 for the
calendar year in which the specific annual minimum royalty is paid. The year for which such credits under 4.1 (1) to (2) against earned royalties may be taken includes the Royalty Quarter in which the annual minimum royalty accrues and the
next three Royalty Quarters. 
  

	4.5	 If RDLP grants a license under the Licensed Patent(s) and in the Field of Use to any third party which is substantially the same as the license
granted to LICENSEE under Article 3 above, for all or any part of the Territory, but which requires a royalty rate or annual minimum royalty lower than those required of LICENSEE under this Agreement, then RDLP shall offer those terms to
LICENSEE for that part of the Territory, to be effective as of the effective date of the license to that third party.

	5.	 REPORTS. 

  

	5.1	 Within sixty (60) days after the close of (i) any Royalty Quarter in which the annual minimum royalty under Paragraph 4.4 accrues,
and (ii) each Royalty Quarter following the first Diagnostic Sale during the term of this Agreement (including the close of any Royalty Quarter immediately following any termination of this Agreement), LICENSEE shall report to RDLP all
royalties accruing to RDLP during such Royalty Quarter. Such quarterly reports shall indicate for each Royalty Quarter the gross sales and Net Sales of Products by LICENSEE and Affiliates, and any other revenues with respect to which payments are
due, and the amount of such payments, as well as the various calculations used to arrive at said amounts, including the quantity, description (nomenclature and type designation), country of manufacture and country of sale of Products. In case no
payment is due for any such period, LICENSEE shall so report. 

  

	5.2	 LICENSEE will promptly establish and consistently employ a system of specific nomenclature and type designations for Products so that various types
can be identified and segregated, where necessary, LICENSEE and Affiliates shall consistently employ such system when rendering invoices thereon and henceforth agree to inform RDLP, or its auditors, when requested as to the details concerning such
nomenclature system as well as to all additions thereto and changes therein. 

  

	5.3	 LICENSEE shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates to keep, true and accurate records and books of account containing data reasonably required
for the computation and verification of payments to be made as provided by this Agreement, which records and books shall be open for inspection upon reasonable notice during business hours by an independent certified accountant selected by RDLP.
Said right of inspection will exist for six (6) years from the date of origination of any such record, and this requirement and right of inspection shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for one (1) year. The
independent certified accountant shall provide to RDLP only such information from LICENSEE’s books and records as is necessary to verify the accuracy or degree of inaccuracy of the payments made under this Agreement. RDLP shall be responsible
for all expenses of such inspection, except that if such inspection reveals an underpayment of royalties to RDLP in excess of
            ***             for any year, then said inspection shall be at LICENSEE’s expense and such underpayment shall
become immediately due and payable to RDLP.
