been independently developed by or for the receiving Party without reference to, or use or disclosure of the disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information.

 

Specific
aspects or details of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the public domain or in the possession of the
receiving Party merely because the Confidential Information is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in
the possession of the receiving Party. Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public
domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in
the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party unless the combination and its principles are in the public domain

5.2Permitted
Disclosures. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is:

 

5.2.1in
the reasonable opinion of the receiving Party’s legal counsel, required to be disclosed pursuant to Applicable Law or made
in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other supra-national, federal, national, regional, state,

regulators; provided, however, that the receiving Party, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, shall first have given
prompt written notice (and to the extent practicable and legally permissible, at least five (5) Business Days’ notice) to
the disclosing Party and given the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to take whatever action it deems necessary to protect
its Confidential Information (for example, quash such order or to obtain a protective order or confidential treatment requiring
that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or regulatory
body or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued). In the event that no protective order or
other remedy is sought or obtained, or the disclosing Party waives compliance with the terms of this Agreement, receiving Party
shall furnish only that portion of Confidential Information which receiving Party is advised by counsel is legally required to
be disclosed;

 

5.2.2made
by or on behalf of the receiving Party to Regulatory Authorities as required in connection with any filing, application or request

5.2.3made
to its Representatives; provided that any such recipient of such Confidential Information agrees to be bound by the confidentiality
and non-use restrictions contemplated hereby; provided, further that the Party making such disclosure shall remain responsible
for any failure by any such Person to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Article 5.

 

5.2.4made
to its or its Affiliates’ financial and legal advisors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and are either
under professional codes of conduct giving rise to expectations of confidentiality and non-use or under written agreements of
confidentiality and non-use, in each case, at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement; provided that the receiving
Party shall remain responsible for any failure by such financial and legal advisors and other Persons contemplated by this Section
5.2.4, to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Article 5.

 

5.3Public
Announcements. Except as contemplated by Section 5.4 or as otherwise agreed by the Parties, neither Party shall issue
any other public announcement, press release, or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without
the other Party’s prior written consent, except for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of the disclosing Party’s
counsel, required by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, public disclosure on a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an Annual
Report on Form 10-K, or a Current Report on Form 8-K) or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing
Party are listed or for information which has previously been made public. In the event a Party is, in the opinion of its counsel,
required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which its securities are listed to make such a public disclosure,
such Party shall submit the proposed disclosure in writing to the other Party as far in advance as reasonably practicable so as
to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon and such required Party shall consider all comments from such other Party
in good faith.

shall have the right to publish or present or permit the publication or presenting of papers and presentations that contain clinical
data regarding, or pertain to results of clinical testing of, Products (each, a “Publication”); provided, however,
that such publications do not contain the Confidential Information of Lamina and Lamina shall be provided with a copy of any such
Publication in advance of public publication or presentation thereof and ALNE shall consider in good faith any comments Lamina
may have with respect thereto.

 

5.5Return
of Confidential Information. Upon the effective date of the termination of this Agreement for any reason, either Party
may request in writing, and the other Party shall either, with respect to Confidential Information to which such first Party does
not retain rights under the surviving provisions of this Agreement: (i) promptly destroy all copies of such Confidential
Information in the possession of the other Party and confirm such destruction in writing to the requesting Party; or (ii) promptly
deliver to the requesting Party, at the other Party’s expense, all copies of such Confidential Information in the possession
of the other Party; provided, however, the other Party shall be permitted to retain one (1) copy of such Confidential Information
for the sole purpose of performing any continuing obligations hereunder or for archival purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such other Party also shall be permitted to retain such additional copies of or any computer records or files containing such
Confidential Information that have been created solely by such Party’s automatic archiving and back-up procedures, to the
extent created and retained in a manner consistent with such other Party’s standard archiving and back-up procedures, but
not for any other use or purpose.

provision shall be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (iv) in
lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal,
valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and
reasonably acceptable to the Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision
of law that would render any provision hereof illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect.

 

9.4Governing
Law. This Agreement or the performance, enforcement, breach or termination hereof shall be interpreted, governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of Nevada, United States, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise

Lamina, on the one hand, nor ALNE, on the other hand, shall have the authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments
of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party
to do so. All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of such Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations
incurred by reason of any such employment shall be for the account and expense of such Party.

 

9.12Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by electronically transmitted signatures and such
signatures shall be deemed to bind each Party hereto as if they were original signatures.

 

9.13References.
Unless otherwise specified, (i) references in this Agreement to any Article or Section shall mean references to such Article
or Section of this Agreement, (ii) references in any Section to any clause are references to such clause of such Section,

use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or). Whenever
