 Exhibit 10.10

  
 SECOND AMENDMENT 
 TO 
 SPONSORED RESEARCH AGREEMENT,
RESEARCH 
 PLAN, AND EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENT 
  
 ---------- ̈ ̈ ̈----------

  
 This Second Amendment to Sponsored Research Agreement,
Research Plan and Exclusive Licensing Agreement (the “2003 Amendment”) is entered into by and between Lumera Corporation, a Washington corporation (“Lumera”) and the University of Washington, a public institution of higher
education and an agency of the State of Washington (the “University”). 
  
 Recitals 
  
 1. The University and Lumera entered into a
Sponsored Research Agreement, an Exclusive Licensing Agreement, a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, and a Voting Agreement, all dated October 20, 2000 (collectively, the “October 2000 Agreements”). 
  
 2. On August 28, 2002, the University and Lumera executed an agreement amending the October
2000 Agreements . That August 28, 2002 amendment was titled, “Agreement Amending Sponsored Research Agreement, Research Plan, and Exclusive Licensing Agreement,” and shall be referenced herein as the “2002 Amendment.” 

 
 3. As part of the 2002 Amendment, Section A of Exhibit 4 of the Sponsored Research
Agreement was deleted and a revised Payment Schedule was agreed to as Exhibit 1 to the Amendment (“2002 Payment Schedule”). Under 2002 Payment Schedule, in calendar year 2003 (third year of the Agreement), Lumera Corporation agreed to pay
the University of Washington four (4) quarterly payments of $750,000 each one on the first day of January, April, July, and October of 2003. These payments are in addition to and separate from a gift of $25,000 made each month by Lumera Corporation
to the University of Washington to support research performing in the Department of Chemistry. It is understood that these monthly gift payments are unaffected by this 2003 Amendment. Also as part of the 2002 Amendment, the parties agreed to a
revised Research Plan, which was attached to the 2002 Amendment as Exhibit 3 to Amendment (referenced herein as the “2002 Research Plan”). 
  
 4. Lumera has requested an adjustment in the 2002 Payment Schedule, and the University is willing to agree to such an adjustment as consideration for a corresponding
adjustment in the scope of work defined under the 2002 Research Plan.

 THE PARTIES THEREFORE AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 
  
 1.0 Definitions 
  
 Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, all capitalized terms as used herein shall have the same meanings as used in the 2002 Amendment. 
  
 2.0 Second Amendment Date 
  
 This Second Amendment shall be effective as of March 25, 2003 (the “Second Amendment
Date”). 
  
 3.0 Modifications to First Amendment 
  
 3.1 Exhibit 1 to Amendment is hereby modified as follows: 
  

					
	 QUARTER

	  	AMOUNT DUE ($)

	  	DUE DATE

	 2003 – First Quarter
	  	375,000	  	March 31, 2003
	 2003 – Second Quarter
	  	250,000	  	April 1, 2003

  
 3.2 For payments due in Quarter Three
and Quarter Four of 2003 (July 1, 2003 and October 1, 2003, respectively) —payments shall be made as follows: 
  

	 	A.	If the University receives sufficient research funding from DARPA, which funds may be used to support some of the research staff currently being supported by Lumera payments, Lumera
Corporation shall pay the University of Washington $125,000 for Quarters Three and Four, 2003. 

  

	 	B.	If insufficient DARPA Funds are received in order to offset the cost of the research activities, the Parties agree to reconvene as soon as feasible after July 1, 2003 to discuss any
necessary adjustments to their mutual contractual obligations, including reductions in research funding ($375.000 for Quarters Three and Four) from Lumera and corresponding adjustments in the University’s Research Plan.

  

	 	C.	It is understood that the original plan called for total funding in 2003 of $3 million (four quarterly payments of $750,000 each). The Parties agree that to the extent the
University of Washington receives less than $3 million during calendar year 2003, the amount that the University does not receive under this 2003 Amendment will be paid to the University of Washington as a lump sum payment no later than April 1,
2004, unless the Parties agree otherwise by written document duly executed by authorized representatives.

and any provision in the 2000 Research Plan or 2002 Research Plan that applies to any research activities after January 1, 2003 shall be deemed superseded by Exhibit 1 herein. The Parties agree that: (1) the 2003 Research Plan may be prepared after
the date of the execution of this Second Amendment; (2) that the 2003 Research Plan shall be prepared by or under the supervision of Dr. Larry Dalton and in accordance with standard University policies and procedures; and (3) that Dr. Dalton may
consult with Lumera in preparing the 2003 Research Plan but otherwise shall have sole discretion in its preparation.

 Except for the matters expressly set forth in Sections 2, 3, and 4 herein, no other covenant, term, provision, condition or agreement of the Parties set forth in the 2002
Amendment shall be deemed to be waived, modified, or amended in any way. Except as otherwise modified by this 2003 Amendment, the 2002 Amendment is incorporated herein by reference. It is also understood that the October 2000 Agreements remain in
full force and effect, except as otherwise expressly modified by this 2003 Amendment and/or by the 2002 Amendment.
