Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 9, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate Vesting Date. Upon the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service with the Company and its Related Entities, any unvested portion of the Option shall terminate and be null and void, except as may otherwise be determined by the Committee in writing in its sole discretion.

4.Method of Exercise.  The vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part in accordance with the exercise schedule set forth in Section 3 hereof by written notice which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the holder’s investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company.  The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price.  This Option shall be deemed to be exercised after both (a) receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price and (b) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in its sole discretion have been made for Optionee’s payment to the Company of the amount, if any, that is necessary to be withheld in accordance with applicable Federal or state withholding requirements.  No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the Option unless and until such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of applicable law, including the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares then may be traded.

5.Method of Payment.  Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:  (a) cash; (b) check; (c) the withholding of Shares that otherwise would be delivered to the Optionee as a result of the exercise of the Option, (d) pursuant to a “cashless exercise” procedure, by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation, and subject to such guidelines, as the Committee shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company by a licensed broker acceptable to the Company of proceeds from the sale of Shares, (e) to the extent permitted by the Committee, with Shares owned by the Optionee, or (f) such other consideration or in such other manner as may be determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion.

6.Termination of Option. 

(a)Any unexercised portion of the Option shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at the time of the earliest to occur of the following:

(i)unless the Committee otherwise determines in writing in its sole discretion, three months after the date on which the Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated other than by reason of (A) by the Company or a Related Entity for Justifiable Cause, (B) a Disability of the Optionee as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee, or (C) the death of the Optionee;

(ii)immediately upon the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service by the Company or a Related Entity for Justifiable Cause;

2

 

 

(iii)twelve months after the date on which the Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated by reason of a Disability as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee;

(iv)(A) twelve months after the date of termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service by reason of the death of the Optionee, or, if later, (B) three months after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during the twelve month period specified in Section 6(a)(iii) hereof; or

(v)the tenth anniversary of the date as of which the Option is granted.

(b)To the extent not previously exercised, (i) the Option shall terminate immediately in the event of (A) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (B) any reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form of corporate transaction in which the Company does not survive or the Shares are exchanged for or converted into securities issued by another entity, or an affiliate of such successor or acquiring entity, unless the successor or acquiring entity, or an affiliate thereof, assumes the Option or substitutes an equivalent option or right pursuant to Section 11(c) of the Plan, and (ii) the Committee in its sole discretion may by written notice (“cancellation notice”) cancel, effective upon the consummation of any corporate transaction described in Section 11(c) of the Plan, the Option (or portion thereof) that remains unexercised on such date.  The Committee shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 6(b) a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after approval of such transaction), in order that the Optionee may have a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise the Option if and to the extent that it then is exercisable (including any portion of the Option that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such transaction).  The Optionee may condition his or her exercise of the Option upon the consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 6(b).

7.Transferability.  The Option granted hereby is not transferable unless and until the Shares have been delivered to the Optionee in settlement of the Option in accordance with this Agreement, otherwise than by will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution, except that the Option may be transferred to one or more Beneficiaries or other transferees during the lifetime of the Optionee, but only if and to the extent such transfers are permitted by the Committee (subject to any terms and conditions which the Committee may impose thereon), are by gift or pursuant to a domestic relations order, are to a “Permitted Assignee” that is a permissible transferee under the Securities and Exchange Commission for registration of shares of stock on a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any successor or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, other registration statement pursuant to which Awards, Shares, rights or interests under the Plan are then registered under such Act), if applicable. A Beneficiary, transferee, executor, administrator, heir, successor and assign of the Optionee or any other person claiming any rights with respect to the Option shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the first sentence of this Section, any attempt to effect a Transfer of any Option prior to the date on which the Shares have been delivered to the Optionee in settlement of the Option shall be void ab initio.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” shall mean any sale,

transfer, encumbrance, gift, donation, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition, whether similar or dissimilar to those previously enumerated, whether voluntary or involuntary, and including, but not limited to, any disposition by operation of law, by court order, by judicial process, or by foreclosure, levy or attachment.

8.No Rights of Stockholders.  Neither the Optionee nor any personal representative (or Beneficiary) shall be, or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date of exercise of the Option.

    Licensed Product. Concurrent with the delivery of each such report, HaiChang shall make the Sublicensing Revenue payment due to Rexahn for the Calendar Quarter covered by such report.

   

  

  
    20 

    
      
 

  

   

  4.5           Method of Payments. All payments due from HaiChang to Rexahn under this Agreement shall be paid in Dollars by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by Rexahn.

   

  4.6           Audit. HaiChang shall keep and maintain for three (3) years complete and accurate records of (a) sales of Licensed Products by or on behalf of HaiChang and its Affiliates in sufficient detail to allow Rexahn to confirm
    the accuracy of royalties paid and/or payable under Section 4.3 hereunder, and (b) Qualified Expenses incurred by HaiChang and its Affiliates and Sublicensing Revenue received by HaiChang and its
    Affiliates, in each case in sufficient detail to allow Rexahn to confirm the accuracy of Sublicensing Revenue amounts paid or payable under Section 4.4 hereunder. Rexahn shall have the right during such three (3) year period to appoint
    at its expense an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to HaiChang to audit its relevant records for the purpose of verifying reports provided by HaiChang under Section 4.3(d) and Section 4.4(c).
    HaiChang shall make its records available for audit by such independent certified public accountant during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice from
    Rexahn. Such audit right shall not be exercised by Rexahn more than once in any Calendar Year and the records for a twelve (12) month period may not be audited more than once. All records made available for audit shall be deemed to be Confidential
    Information of HaiChang and, upon the request of HaiChang, the independent certified public accountant selected by Rexahn shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with HaiChang in a form reasonably acceptable to HaiChang regarding the use and
    disclosure of such Confidential Information. The results of each audit, if any, shall be binding on both Parties absent manifest error. Rexahn shall bear the full cost of such audit, except in the event that the results of the audit reveal an
    underpayment of royalties to Rexahn under Section 4.3 of five percent (5%) or more over the period being audited or an underpayment of Sublicensing Revenue to Rexahn under Section 4.4,
    in which case documented and reasonable audit fees for such examination shall be paid by HaiChang. If such audit reveals an underpayment of royalties or Sublicensing Revenue, HaiChang shall pay any unpaid royalties or Sublicensing Revenue within thirty
    (30) calendar days of the completion of the audit. If such audit reveals an overpayment of royalties or Sublicensing Revenue, then at Rexahn’s election, Rexahn shall either pay any overpaid royalties or Sublicensing Revenue to HaiChang within thirty
    (30) calendar days of the completion of the audit or HaiChang shall have the right to credit such overpayment against future amounts payable to Rexahn under this Agreement.

   

  4.7           Taxes.

   

  (a)           Withholding. Any tax paid or required to be withheld by HaiChang for the benefit of Rexahn on account of any royalties or other payments payable to Rexahn under this Agreement shall be deducted from the amount of royalties or other
    payments otherwise due.  HaiChang shall secure and send to Rexahn proof of any such taxes withheld and paid by HaiChang for the benefit of Rexahn, and will, at Rexahn’s request, provide reasonable assistance to Rexahn in recovering such taxes.

   

  

  
    21 

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)           VAT. All amounts in this Agreement are stated exclusive of VAT and other applicable indirect taxes or duties. The Parties agree that, where appropriate, they will provide each other with a valid tax invoice, and against the production of
    such invoice, the Parties shall pay the amount of any such tax to the other Party. If such taxes are subsequently refunded by the applicable fiscal authority, the Party receiving the refund will immediately notify the other Party and refund such amount
    within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt.

   

  4.8           Currency. With respect to sales of the Licensed Product invoiced in Dollars, the Net Sales and the amounts due hereunder will be expressed in Dollars. With respect to sales of the Licensed Product invoiced in a currency
    other than Dollars, the Net Sales and amounts due hereunder will be reported in Dollars, calculated using the average exchange rates as calculated and utilized by HaiChang’s reporting system and published accounts.

   

  Article 5

      

      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

   

  5.1           Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents. HaiChang shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain each of the Licensed Patents throughout the Territory, at HaiChang’s
    cost. If, during the Term, HaiChang intends to allow any Licensed Patent to expire or intends to otherwise abandon any such Licensed Patent, HaiChang shall notify Rexahn of such intention or decision at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to any
    filing or payment due date, or any other date that requires action, in connection with such Licensed Patent, and Rexahn shall thereupon have the right, but not the obligation, to assume responsibility for the preparation, filing, prosecution or
    maintenance thereof in the Territory at its sole cost and expense, in the name of Rexahn, and such Patent shall no longer be a Licensed Patent hereunder. Each Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other Party to execute all lawful papers and
    instruments and to provide consultation and assistance as may be reasonably necessary in the prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents in a manner consistent with this Section 5.1.

   

  5.2           Third Party Infringement.

   

  (a)           Notice. If either Party becomes aware of any suspected infringement or misappropriation by a Third Party of any Licensed Patents or Licensed Know-How (each, an “Infringement”), then that Party shall promptly notify the
    other Party and provide it with all material details of such activities of which it is aware.

   

  (b)           HaiChang Right to Enforce. HaiChang shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to address such Infringement in the Field in the Territory by taking reasonable steps, which may include the institution of legal proceedings or
    other actions (an “Action”), and to compromise or settle such Action; provided, that (i) HaiChang shall keep Rexahn reasonably informed about such Action and Rexahn shall provide all reasonable cooperation to HaiChang in connection with
    such Action, (ii) HaiChang shall not take any position with respect to such Action in any way that is reasonably likely to directly and adversely affect the scope, validity or enforceability of the Licensed Patents or Licensed Know-How, or compromise
    or settle any such Action, without the prior consent of Rexahn, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) if HaiChang does not intend to prosecute or defend an Action, or ceases to diligently pursue such an Action, it shall promptly
    inform Rexahn in such a manner that such Action will not be prejudiced and Section 5.2(c) shall apply.

   

  

  
    22 

    
      
 

  

   

  (c)           Rexahn Right to Enforce. In the event of an Infringement described in Section 5.2(a), if (i) HaiChang informs Rexahn that it does not intend to prosecute an Action in respect of the Licensed Patents or the Licensed
    Know-How, (ii) within sixty (60) calendar days after notice of Infringement HaiChang has not commenced any such Action, or (iii) if HaiChang thereafter ceases to pursue such Action, then Rexahn shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to
    HaiChang to take appropriate action to address such Infringement, including by initiating its own Action or taking over prosecution of any Action initiated by HaiChang. In such event, Rexahn shall keep HaiChang fully informed about such Action and
    HaiChang shall provide all reasonable cooperation to Rexahn in connection with such Action.

   

  (d)           Right to Representation. Each Party shall have the right to participate and be represented by counsel that it selects, in any Action instituted under Section 5.2(b) or Section 5.2(c) by the other Party.
    If a Party with the right to initiate an Action to eliminate an Infringement lacks standing to do so and the other Party has standing to initiate such Action, then the Party with the right to initiate an Action may name the other Party as plaintiff in
    such Action or may require the Party with standing to initiate such Action at the expense of the other Party.

   

  (e)           Cooperation. In any Action instituted under this Section 5.2, the Parties shall cooperate with and assist each other in all reasonable respects.

   

  (f)           Share of Recoveries. Except as otherwise provided, the costs and expenses of the Party bringing suit under this Section 5.2 shall be borne by such Party, and any damages or other monetary awards recovered shall be
    shared as follows: (i) the amount of such recovery actually received by the Party controlling such action shall first be applied to the out-of-pocket costs of each Party in connection with such action; (ii) if HaiChang is the Party controlling such
    action, then any remaining proceeds shall be shared equally between the Parties; or (iii) if Rexahn is the Party controlling such action, then any remaining proceeds shall be retained by Rexahn. A settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final
    disposition of a suit under this Section 5.2 may not be entered into without the consent of the Party not bringing the suit, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

   

  5.3           Defense of Claims Brought by Third Parties. In the event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against either Party or an Affiliate or sublicensee of either Party alleging the infringement of the Know-How or
    Patents of a Third Party by the making, having made, use, sale, offering for sale or importation of a Licensed Compound or a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, such Party shall notify the other Party within five (5) calendar days of the
    earlier of (a) receipt of service of process in such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) the date such Party becomes aware that such action, suit or proceeding has been instituted, and the Parties shall meet as soon as possible to discuss the overall
    strategy for defense of such matter. HaiChang shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend such action, suit or proceeding in the Territory at its sole cost and expense. Rexahn shall have the right to separate counsel at its own expense in
    any such action, suit or proceeding, and the Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in any such action, suit or proceeding. Each Party shall promptly furnish the other Party with a copy of each communication relating to the
    alleged infringement that is received by such Party including all documents filed in any litigation.

   

  

  
    23 

    
      
 

  

   

  5.4           Patent Listing. HaiChang will have sole decision-making authority with respect to the determination of which Licensed Patents to list in the FDA’s Orange Book and which Licensed Patents will be subject to patent term
    extensions.

    Laws to make any such disclosure of a Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information it shall, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure requirement and, except to the extent inappropriate in the
    case of patent applications, shall use its reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed;

    reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of any such press releases and disclosures prior to the issuance thereof, and a Party may not unreasonably withhold consent to such releases and disclosures, and shall give due
    consideration to any reasonable comments by the non-filing Party relating to such releases and disclosures, including where applicable subject matter for which confidential treatment may be sought. A Party may publicly disclose without regard to the
    preceding requirements of this Section 6.3 any information that was previously publicly disclosed pursuant to this Section 6.3; provided that such

    ninety (90) calendar day period, unless the Breaching Party has either (i) cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such ninety (90) calendar day period, or (ii) if such breach is not susceptible to cure within such ninety (90)
    calendar day period, the Breaching Party has, within such ninety (90) calendar day period, provided to the Non-Breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure and such plan is reasonably acceptable to the Non-Breaching
    Party. Where the Non-Breaching Party has accepted any such plan in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the Breaching Party if the Breaching Party subsequently
    fails to carry out such plan. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 9.2(a) shall not be affected in any way by such Party’s waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous
    default.

   

  

  
    30 

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)           Disagreement. If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach, the Party which seeks to dispute that there has been a material breach may contest the allegation in accordance with Sections 10.1 and 10.2. From the date any claim of material breach is referred to the Executive Officers in accordance with Section 10.1 until such time as the dispute regarding such claimed material
    breach has become finally settled, the time period during which a Breaching Party must cure an alleged breach that is the subject matter of the dispute shall be suspended and no termination under Section 9.2(a) shall become effective.

   

  (c)           Termination Due to Patent Challenge. Rexahn may terminate this Agreement immediately if HaiChang or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees directly or indirectly initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or any other civil or administrative
    proceeding, or the making of any claim or counterclaim, of any kind in any court, tribunal, agency or governmental entity anywhere in the world challenging the validity or enforceability of any Licensed Patent licensed or sublicensed to it under this
    Agreement by Rexahn.

   

  9.3           HaiChang Unilateral Termination Right. HaiChang shall have the right, at its sole discretion and without any penalty or liability, exercisable at any time during the Term, to terminate this Agreement in whole or with
    respect to the RX-0047 Product or the RX-0301 Product and the RX-0201 Product for any reason or no reason at all upon one hundred eighty (180) calendar days’ prior written notice to Rexahn.

   

  9.4           Termination for Insolvency. In the event that either Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over all or substantially all of its property, files a
    petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act in any state or country or has any such petition filed against it which is not discharged within sixty (60) calendar days of the filing thereof, then the other Party may thereafter terminate this
    Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to such Party. In connection therewith, all rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to any section of this Agreement are and shall otherwise be deemed to be for purposes of Section 365(n) of
    Title 11, United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties shall retain and may fully exercise all of their respective rights and
    elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the bankruptcy of Rexahn, HaiChang shall further be entitled to a complete duplicate of, or complete access to, any such intellectual property, and such, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly
    delivered to HaiChang.

  (a)           Termination
    or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of any Party prior to such termination or expiration and any and all damages arising from any breach hereunder. Such

    33 

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)           The

  Article 10

   

  MISCELLANEOUS

   

  10.1          Dispute Resolution. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of a dispute arising under this Agreement between the Parties, either Party shall have a right to refer such dispute to the respective
    Executive Officers, and such Executive Officers shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve a given dispute pursuant to this Section ‎ 10.1 within
    thirty (30) calendar days of referring such dispute to the Executive Officers, either Party may have the dispute settled by binding arbitration pursuant to Section ‎ 10.2.

   

  10.2          Arbitration Request. A Party intending to commence an arbitration proceeding to resolve a dispute must first provide written notice (the “Arbitration Request”) to the other Party of such intention, setting
    forth the issues for resolution, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to submitting the dispute to arbitration in accordance with this Section 10.2. From the date of the Arbitration Request until such time as the dispute has
    become finally settled, the time period during which a Breaching Party must cure an alleged breach that is the subject matter of the dispute shall be suspended.

   

  (a)           No Arbitration of Patent/Confidentiality Issues. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, disputes to the extent relating to Patents and Know-How and non-disclosure, non-use and maintenance of Confidential Information shall not be subject
    to arbitration, and shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction.

   

  (b)           Arbitration Procedure. The arbitration shall be held under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with then-prevailing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”),

    except as modified in this Agreement, applying the substantive law specified in Section 10.3. A Party may initiate arbitration by written notice to the other Party of its intention to arbitrate, and such demand notice shall specify in
    reasonable detail the nature of the dispute. Within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice, the Parties shall designate in writing a single arbitrator to resolve such dispute arising under this Section 10.2; provided,
    that if the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within such thirty (30) day period, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the ICC Rules. The arbitrator shall not be or have been an Affiliate, sublicensee, employee, consultant, officer,
    director or stockholder of either Party or of an Affiliate of either Party, or have a conflict of interest under applicable rules of ethics. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Washington, DC. The arbitration proceedings and all pleadings
    and written evidence shall be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in another language shall be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or a true copy thereof. Each Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to make
    all of its current employees available, if reasonably needed. The arbitrator shall be instructed and required to render a written, binding, non-appealable resolution and award on each issue that clearly states the basis upon which such resolution and
    award is made. The written resolution and award shall be delivered to the Parties as expeditiously as possible, but in no event more than ninety (90) calendar days after conclusion of the hearing, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Judgment upon
    such award may be entered in any competent court or application may be made to any competent court for judicial acceptance of such an award and order for enforcement. Each Party agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of Applicable Law or of this
    Agreement, it shall not request, and the arbitrators shall have no authority to award, punitive or exemplary damages against any Party.

   

  

  
    34 

    
      
 

  

   

  (c)           Costs. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators.

   

  (d)           Preliminary Injunctions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent immediate and
    irreparable injury, loss, or damage on a provisional basis, pending the decision of the arbitrators on the ultimate merits of any dispute.

   

  (e)           Confidentiality. All proceedings and decisions of the arbitrators shall be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties, and shall be subject to ‎Article 6.

   

  10.3          Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising from the performance or breach hereof shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to
    conflicts of laws principles which would direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

   

  10.4          Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any obligation of a Party hereunder may be assigned by either Party without the consent of the other which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that each Party may assign this
    Agreement and the rights, obligations and interests of such Party, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates, to any purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets or all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates, or
    to any successor corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction; provided, that in each instance the assignee or resulting entity in such transaction (if not the Party) expressly assumes all
    obligations imposed on the assigning Party by this Agreement in writing. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section ‎ 10.4 shall be null and void.

   

  

  
    35 

    
      
 

  

   

  10.5          Performance Warranty. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for the full and timely performance as and when due under, and observance of all the covenants, terms, conditions and agreements
    set forth in, this Agreement by its Affiliate(s) and, as applicable, sublicensees.

   

  10.6          Force Majeure. Neither HaiChang nor Rexahn shall be liable for failure of or delay in performing obligations set forth in this Agreement, and neither shall be deemed in breach of its obligations, if such failure or delay
    is due to any occurrence beyond the reasonable control of a Party that (a) prevents or substantially interferes with the performance by such Party of any of its obligations hereunder, and (b) occurs by reason of any act of God, flood, fire, explosion,
    earthquake, strike, lockout, labor dispute, casualty or accident, or war, revolution, civil commotion, act of terrorism, blockage or embargo, or any injunction, law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand or requirement of any government or
    of any subdivision, authority or representative of any such government (a “Force Majeure”). In event of such Force Majeure, the Party affected shall use reasonable efforts to cure or overcome the same and resume performance of its
    obligations hereunder.

   

  10.7          Notices. Any notice or request required or permitted to be given under or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if in writing and personally delivered or sent by overnight
    express courier service (signature required), prepaid, to the Party for which such notice is intended, at the address set forth for such Party below:

    of the notice), delivery shall be deemed to occur on the Business Day following such delivery.

   

  10.8          Waiver. Neither Party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing. The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or
    condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition. No waiver by either Party of any condition or term in any one or more instances shall be construed as
    a continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.

   

  10.9          Severability. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly
    reflects the original intent of the Parties and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Parties hereto as nearly as may be
    possible. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

   

  10.10      Independent Contractors. Nothing herein shall be construed to create any relationship of employer and employee, agent and principal, partnership or joint venture between the Parties. Each Party is an independent
    contractor. Neither Party shall assume, either directly or indirectly, any liability of or for the other Party. The Parties shall not have the authority to bind or obligate the other Party and neither Party shall represent that it has such authority.

   

  10.11      Headings; Interpretation. Headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement. Further, in this Agreement: (a)
    the word “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation” or like expression; (b) the singular shall include the plural and vice versa; and (c) masculine, feminine and neuter pronouns and expressions shall be
    interchangeable. A Party includes its permitted assignees and/or the respective successors in title to substantially the whole of its undertaking. A statute or statutory instrument or any of their provisions is to be construed as a reference to that
    statute or statutory instrument or such provision as the same may have been or may from time to time hereafter be amended, restated, modified, supplemented, or re-enacted. The Exhibits and other attachments form part of the operative provisions of this
    Agreement and references to this Agreement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include references to the recitals and the Exhibits and attachments. References to pharmaceutical products, preparations, ingredients, and the like, include
    biologics and biopharmaceuticals, as applicable.

   

  

  
    37 

    
      
 

  

   

  10.12      Further Actions. Each Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and do all such other acts, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the expressly stated purposes
    and the clear intent of this Agreement.

   

  10.13      Construction of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the results of negotiations between the Parties and their representatives, each of which has been represented by counsel of its own choosing,
    and neither of which has acted under duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and each
    of the Parties hereto hereby waives the application in connection with the interpretation and construction of this Agreement of any rule of law to the effect that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be
    interpreted or construed against the Party whose attorney prepared the executed draft or any earlier draft of this Agreement.

   

  10.14      Supremacy. In the event of any express conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any Exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The Parties understand and agree that the Exhibits hereto are to
    be updated from time to time during the Term, as appropriate, and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

   

  10.15      Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each and every one of which shall be deemed an original, notwithstanding variations in format or file designation which may result from the electronic
    transmission, storage and printing of copies of this Agreement from separate computers or printers. Facsimile signatures and signatures transmitted via PDF shall be treated as original signatures.

   

  10.16      Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, sets forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto and supersedes
    and terminates all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as set forth
    herein and therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties hereto unless reduced to writing and signed by the respective authorized officers of the Parties.
