shall not disclose such information directly or indirectly, or solicit any third party to put together Confidential Information
by collecting the public part(s).

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

(iv)       During

compensation paid to Employee by Farmmi has included all the consideration for Employee to perform the covenants in Paragraph 8(a).

 

(vi)       Employee
warrants that, unless Employee has stated to Farmmi in writing, Employee’s usage or disclosure of any confidential information
during employment with Farmmi does not violate any confidentiality agreement between Employee and any previous employer or other
party. No matter if Employee is bound by such confidentiality agreement, Employee shall not disclose it to Farmmi, or solicit
Farmmi to use any confidential information of Employee’s any previous employer or other party. 

 

(b)        Non-Compete.

 

(i)       Employee
acknowledges that, during the course of his employment, Employee will be granted access to and may develop or assist in developing
Farmmi’s Confidential Information and goodwill. Employee recognizes and agrees that in light of his extensive access to and
knowledge of such Confidential Information and in order to protect Farmmi’s goodwill with its customers, Farmmi has a reasonable
and legitimate interest in protecting itself from unfair competition as set forth in subsection (ii).

 

(ii)       Non-Compete
Period is the course of employment with Farmmi and a period of two (2) years after Employee’s
employment with Farmmi ceases (whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for whatever reason) . During the Non-Compete Period, Employee
shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, compete with Farmmi by engaging in
a position where Employee holds any registered or beneficial ownership/stock interest, or as its employee, consultant, management,
director or other capacity, holds any interest of any company or entity that competes with
the goods and services provided by Farmmi, or helps or assists such company by any way; (ii) usurp business opportunities provided
by other parties to Farmmi, use Farmmi’s resources to create any business opportunity for himself; take commission fee related
to Farmmi’s transactions, sign contracts or conduct transactions with Farmmi without proper approval under internal rules
of Farmmi; or conduct other actions detrimental to Farmmi’s interests and/or competitive position, (iii) use any of Farmmi’s
names, any other name that Farmmi uses to operate business, or any similar name, or use such name to build or create any entrepreneur
entity, organization or domain name, or use it in any other way without written consent of Farmmi, or (iv) call himself employee
of Farmmi or related with Farmmi in any way, after termination of his employment with Farmmi. This restriction shall only

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(iii)       During
the Non-Compete Period, if Employee continues performing all the covenants in Paragraph 8(b), Farmmi will pay Employee compensation.
The calculation of such compensation is: if Employee continues performing non-compete covenant within twenty (24) months after
the termination of employment, Farmmi will pay Employee compensation equaling to six (6)
months of base salary prior to the termination of employment and pay it month by month. Employee confirms that such compensation
is enough and reasonable. Employee further agrees that Farmmi has the right at its sole discretion to choose to pay consideration
for Employee to perform the covenants in Paragraph 8(b), or choose to cease payment of consideration to waive Employee’s
covenants in Paragraph 8(b). Farmmi has the right at its sole discretion to require Employee to continue to perform the non-compete
covenant (but the term shall not exceed 24 months after the termination of the employment).

 

(iv)       The benefits
obtained (including already obtained or agreed to obtain) by Employee through conducting restricted actions in the Non-Compete
Period shall belong to Farmmi.

 

(c)       Non-Solicitation
of Customers. Employee specifically agrees that, at all times during his employment with
Farmmi and for a period of two (2) years Employee will not solicit or offer to any Customer of Farmmi any goods or services that
compete with the goods or services provided by Farmmi. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Customer” means: (i)
any person or entity that contracted with Farmmi for goods or services at any time during the twelve (12) month period preceding
the Employee's termination of employment; and (ii) any person or entity to whom Farmmi made a proposal or presentation for the
provision of goods or services at any time during the six (6) month period preceding Employee’s termination of employment.
Except as set forth in Paragraph 8(b), this restriction is not intended to prohibit Employee from providing goods or services to
persons or entities who are not Customers of Company.

 

(d)       Non-Solicitation
of Employees. Employee specifically agrees that, at all times during his employment with Farmmi and for a period of two (2)
years after Employee’s employment with Farmmi ceases (whether voluntarily or involuntarily and for whatever reason), Employee
shall not, on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, hire, recruit, solicit for employment, or
assist in solicitation or hiring any other employee who works for Farmmi. This includes, but is not limited to: (i) providing to
any such prospective employer the identities of any of Farmmi’s employees; (ii) providing to any such prospective employer
information about the quantity of work, quality of work, special knowledge, or personal characteristics of any person who is still
employed at the Farmmi at the time such information is provided; and/or (iii) assisting any of Farmmi’s employees in obtaining

all rights related to the foregoing in the United States or in any foreign country.

 

(iv)       By

with others. All the inventions, completed prior to the employment with Farmmi, and owned by Employee, or although owned by third
party but Employee can use within the scope of agreement, are called Prior Inventions. If no exhibit discloses such inventions,

permanent and global license (including sublicensing to others through different levels of sublicense) to produce, modify, use

(f)        Return
of Company Property.

 

Upon the request of
Farmmi or upon the termination of Employee’s employment with Farmmi for any reason, Employee shall return to Farmmi: (a)
all Confidential Information; (b) all other records, designs, patents, business plans, financial statements, manuals, memoranda,
lists, correspondence, reports, records, charts, advertising materials, and other data or property delivered to or compiled by
Employee by or on behalf of Farmmi or its operating subsidiaries, or their representatives, vendors, or customers that pertain
to Farmmi’s business, whether in paper, electronic, or other form; and (c) all keys, credit cards, computers, telephones,
PDA’s, equipment, and other property of Farmmi. Employee shall not retain or cause to be retained any copies of the foregoing.
Employee hereby agrees that all of the foregoing shall be and remain the property of Farmmi, and be subject, at all times to its
discretion and control.

 

(g)        Enforcement.

 

(i)       Employee
and Farmmi have examined in detail the covenants and restrictions set forth in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this
Agreement and agree that the restraints imposed upon Employee are reasonable in light of the legitimate interests of Farmmi and
are not unduly restrictive of Employee’s ability to earn a living following the termination of his employment.

 

(ii)       Employee
understands and agrees that the covenants and restrictions set forth in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this Agreement
survive the termination of his employment (regardless of the reason) and remain binding and enforceable against him according to
the restrictions’ respective terms.

 

(iii)       If any
of the covenants contained in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this Agreement are held by a court or other enforcement
authority to be overly broad by reason of time period, geography or scope, the court shall modify any time period, geography or
scope deemed overly broad to the maximum time period, geography or scope that such court or other enforcement authority finds reasonable
and enforceable in light of all the circumstances present at the time such determination is made and this Agreement shall be deemed
to be amended at such time to reflect such determination.

 

(iv)       Employee
agrees that a breach by him of any of the covenants and restrictions set forth in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this
Agreement will result in irreparable injury to Farmmi for which a remedy at law shall be insufficient. Employee agrees that in
the event of a breach or threatened breach of such covenants, Farmmi shall be entitled to temporary, preliminary, and permanent
injunctive relief without the need to prove irreparable harm and without the necessity of placing a bond for such injunction. The
application of any form of injunctive relief shall not make any other legal or equitable remedy unavailable.

 

(v)       In
the event that the Employee is found by a court or other enforcement authority to have breached any of the covenants and restrictions
set forth in Paragraph 8 (including all subsections) of this Agreement, then the time periods set forth in such restrictions, if

PART I – THE SCHEDULE

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES/COSTS

ARTICLE B.1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES

The goal of this effort is to reformulate Nalmefene, an FDA approved drug for opioid overdose, for intranasal delivery using Intravail, a proprietary absorption enhancer. Opioids have been identified as a public health emergency. Preliminary data in a pilot study utilizing healthy volunteers demonstrated that intranasal Nalmefene with Intravail, produced peak plasma concentrations as rapidly as parenteral (intramuscular) administration, but with significantly longer half-life than naloxone, the only other FDA approved drug for opioid overdose.  Nalmefene is attractive because it would most likely only require a single administration to treat victims with an overdose due to its longer half-life compared to naloxone. Opiant has received a grant from NIDA to perform formulation development and conduct the clinical studies for this product.  BARDA funded activities include human factors studies to evaluate the ease of use of the intranasal device, registration batch manufacture and stability and NDA preparation and filing.

The work to be performed during the Base Period represents a non-severable discrete work segment. Each Option work period further represents a non-severable discrete work segment. The work in the Base Period and each Option period will be fully funded from funds that are available for obligation at the time of the initial award (Base Period) and at the time of the award of each Option period.

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS
The Contractor, depending upon the nature of the work, is responsible for following the provisions below in conducting its own work under this Contract. The Contractor also is responsible for incorporating these provisions into any subcontract awarded, if applicable to the specific nature of the work in the subcontract. Accordingly, those provisions shall be flowed- down as applicable.

ARTICLE H.1 NON-CLINICAL TERMS OF AWARD

BARDA has a responsibility to obtain documentation concerning mechanisms and procedures that are in place to protect the safety of participants and animals in BARDA funded clinical trials and non-clinical studies. Therefore, the Contractor shall develop a protocol for each clinical trial and non-clinical study funded under this contract and submit all such protocols and protocol amendments to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for evaluation and comment.
Approval by the COR is required before work under a protocol may begin. The COR comments will be forwarded to the Contractor within ten (10) business days. The Contractor must address, in writing, all concerns (e.g. study design, safety, regulatory, ethical, and conflict of interest) noted  by the COR.

If the draft protocols are to be submitted to the FDA, BARDA review shall occur before submission, pursuant to the terms set forth by ARTICLE F.2 of this contract. The Contractor shall consider revising their protocols to address BARDA’s concerns and recommendations prior to FDA submission. The Contractor must provide BARDA with a copy of FDA submissions, within the time frame set forth by ARTICLE F.2 of this contract.

Execution of clinical and non-clinical studies requires written authorization from the government.

The USG will provide written authorization to the Contractor upon either 1) receiving documentation in which all COR comments have been satisfactorily addressed; or 2) receiving documentation that the FDA has reviewed and commented on the protocol.

The government shall have rights to all protocols, data resulting from execution of these protocols, and final reports funded by BARDA under this contract, as set forth in PART II of this contract and defined in the FAR. The government reserves the right to request that the Contractor provide any contract deliverable in a non-proprietary form to ensure the government has the ability to review and distribute the deliverables as the government deems necessary.

Important information regarding performing human subject research is available at  http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/healthscience/clinicalstudies/.

Any updates to technical reports are to be addressed in the Monthly and Annual Progress Reports. The Contractor shall advise the Contracting Officer’s Representative or designee in writing and via electronic communication in a timely manner of any issues potentially affecting contract performance.

	Non-Clinical Terms of Award

* Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked [***], is filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXHIBIT 10.86

These Non-Clinical Terms of Award detail an agreement between the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and the Contractor; they apply to all grants and contracts that involve non-clinical research.

		
	a.
	Safety and Monitoring Issues

		
	i.
	PHS Policy on Humane Care and use of Laboratory Animals

Before award and then with the annual progress report, the Contractor must submit to BARDA a copy of the current Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) documentation of continuing review and approval and the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) federal wide assurance number for the institution or site.

If other institutions are involved in the research (e.g., a multicenter trial or study), each institution’s IACUC must review and approve the protocol. They must also provide BARDA initial and annual documentation of continuing review and approval and federal wide assurance number.

The Contractor must ensure that the applications, as well as all protocols, are reviewed by the performing institution’s IACUC.

To help ensure the safety of animals used in BARDA-funded studies, the Contractor must provide BARDA copies of documents related to all major changes in the status of ongoing protocols, including the following:

		
	•
	All amendments or changes to the protocol, identified by protocol version number, date, or both and date it is valid.

		
	•
	All material changes in IACUC policies and procedures, identified by version number, date, and all required signatories (if applicable).

		
	•
	Termination or temporary suspension of the study(ies) for regulatory issues.

		
	•
	Termination or temporary suspension of the protocol.

		
	•
	Any change that is made in the specific IACUC approval for the indicated study(ies).

		
	•
	Any other problems or issues that could affect the scientific integrity of the study(ies), i.e., fraud, misrepresentation, misappropriation of funds, etc.

Contractor must notify BARDA of any of the above changes within five (5) working days from the time the Contractor becomes aware of such changes by email or fax, followed by a letter signed by the institutional business official, detailing notification of the change of status to the local IACUC and a copy of any responses from the IACUC.

If a non-clinical protocol has been reviewed by an institutional biosafety committee (IBC) or the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee 

* Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked [***], is filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXHIBIT 10.86

(RAC), the Contractor must provide information about the initial and ongoing review and approval, if any. See the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules.

ii. Non-Clinical Data and Safety Monitoring Requirements

BARDA strongly recommends continued safety monitoring for all non- clinical studies of investigational drugs, devices, or biologics. FDA expects non-clinical studies to include safety in addition to efficacy. The Contractor should consider evaluation of clinical relevant safety markers in the pivotal and non-pivotal, non-clinical studies. In preparation for clinical trials of licensed or not yet licensed products, it is imperative that BARDA- sponsored studies of any type measure the risk and safety parameters that are elicited and provide a safety profile from the studies for future human risk assessment.

A risk is minimal where the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the proposed research are not greater than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests. For example, the risk of drawing a small amount of blood from a healthy subject for research purposes is no greater than the risk of doing so as part of a routine physical examination (45 CFR 46.102(i)).

BARDA will work with the Contractor on decisions regarding the type and extent of safety data accrual to be employed before the start of efficacy or safety studies.

The Contractor shall inform BARDA of any upcoming site visits and/or audits of CRO facilities funded under this effort. BARDA reserves the right to accompany the Contractor on site visits and/or audits of CRO is as BARDA deems necessary.

		
	b.
	BARDA Review Process before Non-Clinical study Execution Begins

BARDA is under the same policy-driven assurances as NIH in that it has a responsibility to ensure that mechanisms and procedures are in place to protect the safety and welfare of animals used in BARDA-funded non-clinical trials.
Therefore, before study execution, the Contractor must provide the following (as applicable) for review and comment by BARDA:

		
	•
	IACUC approved (signed) non-clinical research protocol identified by version number, date, or both, including details of study design, euthanasia criteria, proposed interventions, and exclusion criteria.

		
	•
	For non-pivotal mouse studies, the Contractor will provide an annual animal care and use protocol.

		
	•
	Documentation of IACUC approval, including OLAW federal wide number, IACUC registration number, and IACUC name.

* Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked [***], is filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXHIBIT 10.86

		
	•
	Contractor should reduce the number of animals required for a study using power of statistics.

		
	•
	Plans for the management of side effects, rules for interventions and euthanasia criteria.

		
	•
	Procedures for assessing and collecting safety data were appropriate.

		
	•
	If a study is contracted through Contract Research Organizations (CROs), work orders and service agreements the Contractor shall assure an integrated safety documentation plan is in place for the study site, pharmacy service records on the dosing material to be used and excipients, and laboratory services (including histopathology).

		
	•
	Documentation that the Contractor and all required staff responsible for the conduct of the research have received training in the protection and handling  of animals, or that the CRO has the required documentation.

		
	•
	Purchasing of animals and/or other supplies for non-clinical studies funded in part or in whole by BARDA requires written approval by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the contract. The Contractor must have the ability to return/re-sell animals, at purchase price, to distributor or a third part, in the event that the Contracting Officer Authorization is not granted.

		
	•
	Provide justification for whether studies require good laboratory practice (GLP) conditions.

		
	•
	Provide justification for whether studies will be classified as non- pivotal or pivotal studies.

Documentation of each of the above items shall be submitted to BARDA for evaluation and comment in conjunction with the protocol. Execution of non- clinical studies requires written authorization from the Contracting Officer in accordance with this section of the contract.

ARTICLE H.3. ANIMAL WELFARE

All research involving live, vertebrate animals shall be conducted in accordance with the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. This policy may be accessed at:
http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/olaw/references/phspol.htm

ARTICLE H.4. INFORMATION ON COMPLIANCE WITH ANIMAL CARE REQUIREMENTS

Registration with the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) is required to use regulated species of animals for biomedical purposes. USDA is responsible for the enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 2131 et. seq.), http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/legislat/awa.htm.

The Public Health Service (PHS) Policy is administered by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/olaw/olaw.htm. An essential requirement of the PHS Policy http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/olaw/references/phspol.htm is that every institution using live vertebrate animals must obtain an approved assurance from OLAW before they can receive funding from any component of the U. S. Public Health Service.

The PHS Policy requires that Assured institutions base their programs of animal care and use on the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals  http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/labrats/ and that they comply with the regulations (9 CFR, Subchapter A)http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/legislat/usdaleg1.htm issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the Animal Welfare Act. The Guide may differ from USDA regulations in some respects. Compliance with the USDA regulations is an absolute requirement of this Policy.

The Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC) http://www.aaalac.org is a professional organization that inspects and evaluates programs of animal care for institutions at their request. Those that meet the high standards are given the accredited status. As of the 2002 revision of the PHS Policy, the only accrediting body recognized by PHS is the AAALAC. While AAALAC Accreditation is not required to conduct biomedical research, it is highly desirable. AAALAC uses the Guide as their primary evaluation tool. They also use the Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Agricultural Research and Teaching. It is published by the Federated of Animal Science Societies  http://www.fass.org.

ARTICLE H.5. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADEQUATE ASSURANCE OF PROTECTION OF VERTEBRATE ANIMAL SUBJECTS

The PHS Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals requires that applicant organizations proposing to use vertebrate animals file a written Animal Welfare Assurance with the Office for Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW), establishing appropriate policies and procedures to ensure the humane care and use of live vertebrate animals involved in research activities supported by the PHS. The PHS Policy stipulates that an applicant organization, whether domestic or foreign, bears responsibility for the humane care and use of animals in PHS- supported research activities. Also, the PHS policy defines “animal” as “any live, vertebrate animal used, or intended for use, in research, research training, experimentation, biological testing or for related purposes.” This Policy implements and supplements the U.S. government Principles for the Utilization and Care of Vertebrate Animals Used in Testing, Research, and Training, and requires that institutions use the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals as a basis for developing and implementing an institutional animal care and use program. This Policy does not affect applicable State or local laws or regulations that

* Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked [***], is filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXHIBIT 10.86

impose more stringent standards for the care and use of laboratory animals. All institutions are required to comply, as applicable, with the Animal Welfare Act as amended (7 USC 2131 et. seq.) and other Federal statutes and regulations relating to animals. These documents are available from the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, (301) 496-7163. See http://grants.nih.gov/grants/olaw/olaw.htm.

No PHS supported work for research involving vertebrate animals will be conducted by an organization, unless that organization is operating in accordance with an approved Animal Welfare Assurance and provides verification that the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) has reviewed and approved the proposed activity in accordance with the PHS policy. Applications may be referred by the PHS back to the institution for further review in the case of apparent or potential violations of the PHS Policy. No award to an individual will be made unless that individual is affiliated with an assured organization that accepts responsibility for compliance with the PHS Policy. Foreign applicant organizations applying for PHS awards for activities involving vertebrate animals are required to comply with PHS Policy or provide evidence that acceptable standards for the humane care and use of animals will be met. Foreign applicant organizations are not required to submit IACUC approval, but should provide information that is satisfactory to the USG to provide assurances for the humane care of such animals.

ARTICLE H.6. APPROVAL OF REQUIRED ASSURANCE BY OLAW

Under governing regulations, federal funds which are administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) shall not be expended by the Contractor for research involving live vertebrate animals, nor shall live vertebrate animals be involved in research activities by the Contractor  under this award unless a satisfactory assurance of compliance with 7 U.S.C. 2316 and 9 CFR Sections 2.25-2.28 is submitted within 30 days of the date of this award and approved by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW). Each performance site (if any) must also assure compliance with 7 U.S.C. 2316 and 9 CFR Sections 2.25-2.28 with the following restriction: Only activities which do not directly involve live vertebrate animals (i.e. are clearly severable and independent from those activities that do involve live vertebrate animals) may be conducted by the Contractor or individual performance sites pending OLAW approval of their respective assurance of compliance with 7 U.S.C. 2316 and 9 CFR Sections 2.25-2.28. Additional information regarding OLAW may be obtained via the Internet at  http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/olaw/references/phspol.htm

ARTICLE H.9. IDENTIFICATION AND DISPOSITION OF DATA

The Contractor will be required to provide certain data generated under this contract to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). DHHS reserves the right to review any other data determined by DHHS to be relevant to this contract. The contractor shall keep copies of all data required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relevant to this contract for the time specified by the FDA.

ARTICLE H.10. EXPORT CONTROL NOTIFICATION

Contractors are responsible for ensuring compliance with all export control laws and regulations that may be applicable to the export of and foreign access to their proposed technologies.
Contractors may consult with the Department of State with any questions regarding the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) (22 CRF Parts 120-130) and /or the Department of Commerce regarding the Export Administration Regulations (15 CRF Parts 730-774).

ARTICLE H.11. CONFLICT OF INTEREST

The Contractor represents and warrants that, to the best of the Contractor's knowledge and belief, there are no relevant facts or circumstances which could give rise to an organizational         conflict of interest, as defined in FAR 2.101 and Subpart 9.5, or that the Contractor has disclosed all such relevant information. Prior to commencement of any work, the Contractor agrees to notify the Contracting Officer promptly that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, no actual or potential conflict of interest exists or to identify to the Contracting Officer any actual or potential conflict of interest the firm may have. In emergency situations, however, work may begin but notification shall be made within five (5) working days. The Contractor agrees that if an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest is identified during performance, the Contractor shall promptly make a full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of actions which the Contractor has taken or proposes to take, after consultation with the Contracting Officer, to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the actual or potential conflict of interest.  The Contractor shall continue performance until notified by the Contracting Officer of any contrary action to be taken. Remedies include termination of this contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if the Contracting Officer deems such termination necessary to avoid an organizational conflict of interest. If the Contractor was aware of a potential organizational conflict of interest prior to award or discovered an actual or potential conflict after award and did not disclose it or misrepresented relevant information to the Contracting Officer, the USG may terminate the contract for default, debar the Contractor from USG contracting, or pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

ARTICLE H.12. INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING INVESTIGATOR FINANCIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 45 CFR Part 94, Responsible Prospective Contractors, which promotes objectivity in research by establishing standards to ensure that Investigators (defined as  the project director or principal Investigator and any other person, regardless of title or position,  who is responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research funded under BARDA  contracts, or proposed for such funding, which may include, for example, collaborators or consultants) will not be biased by any Investigator financial conflicts of interest.

If the failure of an Investigator to comply with an Institution's financial conflicts of interest policy or a financial conflict of interest management plan appears to have biased the design, 

* Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked [***], is filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXHIBIT 10.86

conduct, or reporting of the BARDA-funded research, the Contractor must promptly notify the Contracting Officer of the corrective action taken or to be taken. The Contracting Officer will consider the situation and, as necessary, take appropriate action or refer the matter to the Contractor for further action, which may include directions to the Contractor on how to maintain appropriate objectivity in the BARDA-funded research project.
The Contracting Officer and/or HHS may inquire at any time before, during, or after award into any Investigator disclosure of financial interests, and the Contractor’s review of, and response to, such disclosure, regardless of whether the disclosure resulted in the Contractor’s determination of a financial conflict of interests. The Contracting Officer may require submission of the records     or review them on site. On the basis of this review of records or other information that may be available, the Contracting Officer may decide that a particular financial conflict of interest will bias the objectivity of the BARDA-funded research to such an extent that further corrective action is needed or that the Institution has not managed the financial conflict of interest in accordance with 45 CFR Part 94. The issuance of a Stop Work Order by the Contracting Officer may be necessary until the matter is resolved.

If the Contracting Officer determines that BARDA-funded clinical research, whose purpose is to evaluate the safety or effectiveness of a drug, medical device, or treatment, has been designed, conducted, or reported by an Investigator with a financial conflict of interest that was not disclosed managed or  reported the Contractor shall require the Investigator involved to disclose the financial  conflict of interest in each public presentation of the results of the research and to request an  addendum to previously published presentations.

(a)    Definitions. As used in this clause--

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options.

In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.
