AFH
HOLDING & ADVISORY, LLC CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

This
Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of April 5, 2016 (“Effective Date”), by and between
Bone Biologics Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”),
and AFH Holding & Advisory, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Consultant”).

 

WHEREAS,
the Company desires that the Consultant provide advice and assistance to the Company; and

 

WHEREAS,
the Consultant desires to provide such advice and assistance to the Company under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, the Company and the Consultant hereby agree as follows:

 

		1.	Consulting
                                         Services.

 

(a)Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby retains Consultant as a consultant to perform the services specifically
set out in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement and made a part hereof (hereafter referred to as the “Services”),
as said Exhibit may be amended in writing from time to time, and Consultant agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, to render such Services at such times and places as shall be mutually agreed by Company and Consultant.

 

(b)It
is understood that the purpose of the consulting is to provide periodic review and advice relevant to certain Company matters,
and that neither Consultant nor Company will benefit if Consultant or Company provides inaccurate advice or commentary based on
insufficient information. To that end, Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide Consultant, with accurate and sufficient
information for it to review the subject matter thereof, and shall promptly provide further information that Consultant reasonably
deems relevant, provided, however, that the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to withhold any information that
the Company deems proprietary, or is otherwise in the best interest of the Company to withhold. It is expressly understood that,
except as set forth in this Agreement, neither Consultant nor the Company has any obligation to the other party.

 

		2.	Compensation
                                         and reimbursement.

 

In
consideration of the services provided by the Consultant to the Company hereunder, the Company shall pay to Consultant a retainer
of $100,000 due upon execution of this Agreement and a monthly fee of $33,333.33 payable on May 1, June 1 and July 1, 2016 for
the Initial Term (as defined below).

In
addition, the Company shall reimburse Consultant for reasonable travel and other expenses Consultant incurs in connection with
performing the Services, provided that the Company has pre-approved in writing such expenses. To obtain reimbursement, Consultant
shall submit to the President of the Company, an invoice describing expenses incurred under this Agreement. Company shall provide
any documentation requirements and any travel policy restrictions to Consultant in writing in advance, or be foreclosed from relying
on such requirements and restrictions to deny reimbursement. The Company shall pay to Consultant invoiced amounts within thirty
(30) days after the date of invoice.

 

		3.	Independent
                                         contractor status.

 

The
parties agree that this Agreement creates an independent contractor relationship, not an employment relationship. The Consultant
acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not provide the Consultant with any employee benefits, including without limitation
any employee stock purchase plan, social security, unemployment, medical, or pension payments, and that income tax withholding
is Consultant’s responsibility. In addition, the parties acknowledge that neither party has, or shall be deemed to have,
the authority to bind the other party.

proprietary information and trade secrets of the Company, and that Consultant may also create such information within the course
of performing the Services (hereinafter, subject to the exceptions below, “Company Confidential Information”). Such

know-how; the Company’s manufacturing strategies and processes; the Company’s marketing plans; data from the Company’s
evaluations in animals and humans; the Company’s past, present and future business plans; the Company’s strategy for
or status of regulatory approval; or the Company’s forecasts of sales and sales data.

 

(b)Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Consultant hereby agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period
of three (3) years thereafter: (i) Consultant shall not publicly divulge, disseminate, publish or otherwise disclose any Company
Confidential Information without the Company’s prior written consent; and (ii) Consultant shall not use any such Company
Confidential Information for any purposes other than consultation with the Company, provided, further, that Company Confidential
Information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law shall be subject to the confidentiality and non-use obligations
set forth herein for as long as such Company Confidential Information retains its status as a trade secret. Notwithstanding the
above, the Company and Consultant acknowledge and agree that the obligations set out in this Section 5 shall not apply to any
portion of Company Confidential Information which:

her files (which copy shall be subject to the confidentiality and non-use requirements set out in this Agreement).

Agreement shall remain in effect for an initial term of three months (the “Initial Term”) commencing on the
Effective Date, unless sooner terminated or extended as hereinafter provided.

Agreement may be terminated by either party in the event of a material breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the other
party if the breaching party fails to cure such breach within fifteen days from receipt of notice from the non-breaching party.

the sole discretion of the Company, this Agreement may be extended for additional periods of four months each upon at least ten
business days’ notice to the Consultant prior to the expiration of the then term subject in each case to the parties agreeing
