WHEREAS,
the Company desires to retain the services of Executive as its Chief Scientific Officer; and

Executive is willing to serve as Chief Scientific Officer of the Company on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth

WHEREFORE,
in consideration of the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Employment
and Duties. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby employs Executive as its Chief Scientific

development, strategic ventures, feasibility and compliance with respect to the Company’s products and proposed products.
The services shall be performed both at the Company’s facilities and offsite, as may be acceptable to the officer to whom
he reports. It is understood and agreed that Executive shall perform his services on a part time basis and that his duties with
the Company shall not unreasonably interfere with responsibilities as director of the Drug Development Institute at the Ohio State
University Comprehensive Cancer Center (“OSU”). Executive hereby accepts the employment contemplated by this Agreement.
If requested by the Company, Executive agrees to serve as a member of the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board for no additional
compensation.

 

2. Term
and Termination. This Agreement shall have an initial term, commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on January
31, 2021, and continuing on a quarter-to-quarter basis thereafter unless terminated by either party on not less than 30 days’
notice given prior to the expiration of the initial term or any one-quarter extension, unless terminated early pursuant to Section
5 of this Agreement. The initial term and any extensions are collectively referred to as the “Term.” The termination
of this Agreement or the termination of the employment of Executive for any reason whatsoever shall not affect the validity or
effectiveness Sections 6 through and including 10 of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.

his Salary at the times it pays its other executive officers, but not less frequently than monthly.

 

     

     

    

 

(a) If
the Company elects to pay the Salary in stock, the Company shall issue shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock to

higher whole number of Shares. The Shares shall be fully vested upon issuance. Executive acknowledges that the Shares are
restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to

but not limited to, all rights of priority under international conventions, all rights to sue, counterclaim and recover for all

lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to the Company and further the transfer, issuance, prosecution and maintenance
of all Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, if Executive does not promptly cooperate with
the Company’s request (without limiting the rights the Company shall have in such circumstances by operation of law). The
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall not be effected by Executive’s subsequent incapacity.

 

(e) Moral
Rights. To the extent any copyrights are assigned under this Agreement, Executive hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any and all claims Executive may now or hereafter have in any jurisdiction to all rights of paternity,
integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as “moral rights” with respect to all
Work Product and all Intellectual Property Rights therein.

after the Term, without the consent of the Company make any disclosure of Confidential Information now or hereafter possessed
by the Company, to any person, partnership, corporation or entity either during or after the term here of, except that

disclosure is necessary in the normal course of the Company’s business in accordance with the Company policies or
instructions or authorization from the board or directors or the officer to whom Executive reports, (ii) such information

Executive will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance from the person to whom such Confidential Information
is disclosed will treat the Confidential Information as confidential.

the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants and parts thereof shall not thereby be affected and shall remain in full force and
effect, without regard to the invalid portion. If any court or arbitrator determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or
any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable because of the geographic or temporal scope of such provision, such court or arbitrator

from any violation or threatened violation of such provisions and compelling Executive to comply with such provisions. This Section
8 shall not affect or limit, and the injunctive relief provided in this Section 8 shall be in addition to, any other remedies
available to the Company at law or in equity or in arbitration for any such violation by Executive. Subject to Section 7(e) of

and Executive’s employment.
