records of Consultant, (ii) has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Consultant, or (iii) has been rightfully received by Consultant from a third party who is authorized to make such disclosure. 

 
 (c) Consultant agrees that Consultant will not, during the term of this
Agreement, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any person or entity with which Consultant has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Consultant in confidence, if any, and that
Consultant will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to such person or entity unless consented to in writing by such person or entity; provided, that, anything in the foregoing to
the contrary notwithstanding, Consultant may disclose to the Company (i) any information that Consultant would normally freely disclose to other members of the scientific community at large, whether by publication, by presentation at seminars, or in
informal scientific discussions, and (ii) information contemplated to be disclosed pursuant to the Caltech License Agreement. 
  
 (d) Consultant recognizes that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information
subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees that Consultant owes the Company and such third parties, during the term of this
Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the
Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party. 
  
 (e) Upon the termination of his status as a consultant for the Company, or upon Company’s earlier request, Consultant will deliver to the Company all of the Company’s property or Confidential Information in
tangible form, including without limitation any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of
any aforementioned items developed by him pursuant to his provision of Services to the Company or otherwise belonging to the Company, that Consultant may have in Consultant’s possession or control.

 during the term of this Agreement and in connection with Consultant’s performance of the Services for the Company
under the terms of this Agreement which relate in any manner to the business of the Company that Consultant may be directed to undertake, investigate or experiment with, or which Consultant may become associated with in work, investigation or
experimentation in the line of business of the Company in performing the Services hereunder, are the sole property of the Company. Consultant further agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) and does hereby assign fully to the Company all such
Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Except pursuant to the Caltech License, no part of this Agreement may be construed to take precedence over the responsibilities of
Consultant to Caltech pursuant to Caltech’s policies regarding consulting, conflicts of interest and intellectual property 
  
 (b) Consultant agrees to assist Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the
Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the
execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns
and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Consultant further agrees that Consultant’s
obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in Consultant’s power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Consultant agrees that if in the course of performing the Services, Consultant incorporates into any Invention developed
hereunder any invention, improvement, development, concept, discovery or other proprietary information owned by Consultant or in which Consultant has an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual,
irrevocable, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell such item as part of or in connection with such Invention. 
  
 (d) Consultant agrees that if the Company is unable because of Consultant’s unavailability, dissolution, mental or physical incapacity, or for any
other reason, to secure Consultant’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or mask work or copyright registrations covering the Inventions assigned to the Company above, then Consultant
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Consultant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in Consultant’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to
do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright and mask work registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant. 
  
 4. REPORTS 
  
 Consultant agrees that it will from time to time during the term of this
Agreement or any extension thereof keep the Company advised as to Consultant’s progress in performing the Services hereunder and that Consultant will, as requested by the Company, prepare written reports with respect thereto. It is understood

 Exhibit A 
  

Company agrees to pay Consultant $1000.00 per full day of consulting services provided, payable from time to time upon Consultant furnishing Company with an invoice

 Consultant shall also have
the opportunity to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Agreement between Consultant and the Company dated as of April 20, 2004 and to be granted options pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement (Non-Statutory Option)
pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Stock Option Plan. 
  

 7Agreement to Provide Additional Capital

 Exhibit 10.12 
  
 AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 20, 2004, by
and between Arrowhead Research Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Arrowhead”), and Aonexx Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”). 
  
 A. Arrowhead has previously entered into an agreement dated March 5, 2004 pertaining to the incorporation and initial
organization of the Company (the “Founder’s Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Arrowhead has agreed to provide up to $3,000,000 of additional capital to the Company, provided that the Company meets certain milestones
relating to the development of the Company’s business. 
  
 B.
The Founder’s Agreement also provides that a portion of the preferred stock of the Company to be purchased by Arrowhead would be forfeited by Arrowhead to the Company in the event that Arrowhead failed to provide the agreed upon additional
capital despite the attainment by the Company of the specified milestones, 
  
 C. This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the parties hereto as contemplated by the Founder’s Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

  
 1. Commitment to Provide Additional Capital. Arrowhead
agrees to provide up to $3,000,000 of additional capital to the Company, on the following terms and subject to the following conditions: 
  
 (a) Attached hereto as Appendix I is a schedule setting forth certain dates by which it is anticipated that the Company will achieve specified milestones
in the development of its business (the “Milestones”). Each of the three dates set forth in Appendix I opposite a specified Milestone is hereinafter referred to as a “Milestone Date.” 
  
 (b) Within ten (10) business days following each successive Milestone Date
specified in Appendix I, the Company shall deliver to Arrowhead a certificate of the President and the Chief Technical Officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, sufficient information for Arrowhead to evaluate whether the Company
has achieved the specific Milestone to be achieved by the Milestone Date in question. 
  
 (c) Arrowhead will have a period of twenty (20) business days following receipt of the certificate specified in subparagraph 1(b) to evaluate the information provided to Arrowhead by the Company in the certificate. In
the event that Arrowhead determines, to its reasonable satisfaction, that the Milestone in question was achieved by the Company by the applicable Milestone Date, Arrowhead shall, within such 20-day period, provide to the Company, in cash, by
corporate check(s) or wire transfer, the amount of additional capital set forth on Appendix I opposite the Milestone and Milestone Date in question. 

 (d) Any and all amounts provided by Arrowhead to the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed
contributions to the capital of the Company by Arrowhead, as an existing holder of capital stock of the Company. It is understood and agreed that no capital stock or other security of the Company shall be issued to Arrowhead in consideration or on
account of any additional capital provided by Arrowhead to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and that none of such funds shall be considered a loan by Arrowhead to the Company, or otherwise be repayable by the Company to
Arrowhead. However, the liquidation preference to which Arrowhead is entitled as holder of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock will be increased, as provided in the Certificate of Determination of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and
Restrictions of Series A Preferred Stock of Aonexx Technologies, Inc., by the full amount of any and all amounts so contributed by Arrowhead to the capital of the Company, but the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series A
Preferred Stock may be converted shall not be affected by any such contribution. 
  
 2. Failure of Arrowhead to Make a Required Contribution. In the event that Arrowhead fails to provide, on a timely basis, any amount of additional funding that Arrowhead is obligated to provide pursuant to the
provisions of paragraph 1 above, then in addition to any consequences of such failure provided in the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, or the Certificate of Determination of the Series A Preferred Stock, 
  
 (a) Arrowhead shall forfeit to the Company that number of shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock of the Company then owned by Arrowhead (or any shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock may have been converted) which is calculated by dividing by five (5) the sum of (i) the amount of
additional capital which Arrowhead failed to provide with respect to the Milestone Date in question and (ii) the total amount of capital which would be due on satisfaction of Milestones on any future Milestone Dates. For example, if Arrowhead failed
to provide $1,000,000 of additional capital which it was obligated to provide pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 above, Arrowhead would forfeit 200,000 of the 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock 
  
 (b) Any and all options to purchase Common Stock of the Company then
outstanding under the Company’s Stock Option Plan that otherwise would not be exercisable pursuant to the provisions of applicable stock option agreements would become immediately exercisable to purchase, notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained in the stock option agreements but on all of the other terms and conditions contained in the applicable stock option agreements, all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof; provided,
however, that any and all shares to be so purchased will be issued and sold pursuant to, and purchased under, a restricted stock purchase agreement substantially in the form of that used in connection with the initial purchase and sale of Common
Stock to the founders of the Company. For purposes of each such restricted stock purchase agreement, the “vesting” provisions of the option being exercised shall carry over to the applicable stock purchase agreement, such that shares as to
which the option in question had vested and those as to which it had yet to vest will continue to be deemed “vested” and “unvested” for purposes of the applicable restricted stock purchase agreement.

 3. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its best efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws, rules and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto, the heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties hereto, but shall not confer, expressly or by implication, any rights or remedies upon any other party. Neither this Agreement nor any of
the rights, interests or obligations of either party hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of the other party. 
  
 (c) This Agreement is made and shall be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of California.

  
 (d) All notices, requests or demands and other communications
hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made if personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the parties at their respective addresses set forth on the signature page hereof. Any party hereto may change its address
by written notice to the other party given in accordance with this subsection 3(d). 
  
 (e) This Agreement, together with the exhibits attached hereto, contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and writings between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and thereof. Each party hereto acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting with authority on behalf of any party, which are not
embodied herein or in an exhibit hereto, and that no other agreement, statement or promise may be relied upon or shall be valid or binding. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally. This
Agreement may be amended or any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. 
  
 (f) The captions and headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be construed as a part of this Agreement.

  
 (g) In the event of any litigation between the parties hereto,
the non-prevailing party shall pay the reasonable expenses, including the attorneys’ fees, of the prevailing party in connection therewith. 
  
 (h) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute but one and
the same document.
