	1.	Purposes
    of the Plan. Taoping Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (the “Company”) hereby establishes the
    Taoping Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was originally adopted by the Company on
    May 9, 2016. The purposes of this Plan are to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company and its Affiliates
    by stimulating the efforts of Employees, Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates who are selected to be
    participants, aligning the long-term interests of participants with those of shareholders, heightening the desire of participants
    to continue in working toward and contributing to the success of the Company, attracting and retaining the best available
    personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, and generally providing additional incentive for them to promote the
    success of the Company’s business through the grant of Awards of or pertaining to shares of the Company’s ordinary
    shares. The Plan permits the grant of Incentive Share Options, Nonstatutory Share Options, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share
    Units, Share Appreciation Rights, Performance Units and Performance Shares as the Administrator may determine.

    fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;
    provided however, that for purposes of this subsection, the following shall not constitute a Change in Control: (1) any acquisition
    of securities directly from the Company other than an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless
    the security being so converted was itself acquired directly from the Company; (2) any acquisition by the Company; or (3)
    any acquisition by an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any entity controlled
    by the Company or

    of the effective date of the Plan, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes

    of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities immediately prior to that transaction.

 

For
avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction

the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

	3.	Shares Subject
    to the Plan.

 

	 	a.	Shares

    issued under the Plan is five million (5,000,000) Shares.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

	 	b.	Lapsed
    Awards. If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full or, with respect to Restricted
    Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units, is forfeited (such forfeiture may be effected by

    Shares or Performance Units are forfeited (such forfeiture may be effected by way of redemption by the Company in respect
    of Restricted Shares) to the Company, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan. To the extent an
    Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares
    available for issuance under the Plan. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code in order for Awards to be exempt
    from the tax deduction limits thereof, Shares subject to Awards that are cancelled shall not be available for future grant
    or sale under the Plan.

 

	 	c.	Share
    Reserve. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares
    as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 

	4.	Administration
    of the Plan.

 

	 	a.	Procedure.
    The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a Committee (or Committees) appointed by the Board, which Committee shall be
    constituted to comply with Applicable Laws. If and so long as the ordinary shares are registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g)
    of the Exchange Act, the Board shall consider in selecting the Administrator and the membership of any committee acting as
    Administrator the requirements regarding: (i) “nonemployee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the
    Exchange Act; (ii) “independent directors” as described in the listing requirements for any share exchange on
    which Shares are listed; and (iii) Section 15(b)(i) of the Plan, if the Company grants any Qualified Performance-Based
    Award. The Board may delegate the responsibility for administering the Plan with respect to designated classes of eligible
    Participants to different committees consisting of two or more members of the Board, subject to such limitations as the Board
    or the Administrator deems appropriate. Committee members shall serve for such term as the Board may determine, subject to
    removal by the Board at any time.

 

	 	b.	Powers
    of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the approval of any relevant authorities, and in the case
    of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator will have the authority,
    in its discretion:

 

	 	i.	to
    determine the Fair Market Value;

 

	 	ii.	to
    select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

 

	 	iii.	to
    determine the type of Award and number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

	 	iv.	to
    approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

 

	 	v.	to
    determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms
    and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which
    may be based on continued employment, continued service or performance criteria), any vesting acceleration (whether by reason
    of a Change of Control or otherwise) or waiver of forfeiture, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the
    Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine;

 

	 	vi.	to
    construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, including the right to construe disputed
    or doubtful Plan and Award provisions;

 

	 	vii.	to
    prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;

 

	 	viii.	to
    modify or amend each Award to the extent any modification or amendment is consistent with the terms of the Plan, and does
    not materially impair the rights of any Participant unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator,
    which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company;

 

	 	ix.	to
    allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in such manner as prescribed in Section 14;

 

	 	x.	to
    authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously
    granted by the Administrator;

 

	 	xi.	to
    delay issuance of Shares or suspend Participant’s right to exercise an Award as deemed necessary to comply with Applicable
    Laws;

 

	 	xii	to
    the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, to delegate, as it may deem appropriate, to one or more executive officers of the
    Company the authority to grant Awards to Service Providers who are not Officers and Directors, and exercise such other powers
    under the Plan as the Administrator may determine, in accordance with such guidelines as the Administrator shall set forth
    at any time or from time to time; and

 

	 	xiii.	to
    make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

 

	 	c.	Effect
    of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final
    and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards. Any decision or action taken or to be taken by the Administrator,
    arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation and effect of the Plan and of its rules
    and regulations, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, be within its absolute discretion (except as otherwise
    specifically provided in the Plan) and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company, all Participants and any person
    claiming under or through any Participant.

	 	b.	General
    Terms of Awards. Each grant of an Award shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan (including
    but not limited to any specific terms and conditions applicable to that type of Award set out in the following Sections),
    and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator may prescribe. Any
    additional terms of an Award shall be set forth in an agreement evidencing the Award by and between the Company and the Participant.

 

	 	c.	Vesting
    Conditions. The Administrator may impose vesting schedules, limitations on transferability and forfeiture conditions on
    any Award granted under this Plan as the Administrator in its sole discretion may deem advisable or appropriate, on the basis
    of such conditions, including but not limited to, achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including,
    but not limited to, continued status as a Service Provider), or any other basis the Administrator may determine in its discretion
    and provide for in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which
    any such restrictions will lapse or be removed. The Administrator may, in its discretion, also provide for such complete or
    partial exceptions to an employment or service restriction as it deems equitable.

 

	 	d.	Effect
    of Termination of Employment, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13, unless the Administrator in its sole discretion
    shall at any time determine otherwise with respect to any Award, if the Participant’s employment or other association
    with the Company and its Affiliates ends for any reason, including because of the Participant’s employer ceasing to
    be an Affiliate, (a) any outstanding Option or SAR of the Participant shall cease to be exercisable in any respect not later
    than three (3) months following that event and, for the period it remains exercisable following that event, shall be exercisable
    only to the extent exercisable at the date of that event, and (b) any other outstanding Award of the Participant shall be
    forfeited or otherwise subject to return to or repurchase by the Company on the terms specified in the applicable Award Agreement.
    Military or sick leave or other bona fide leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association, provided
    that it does not exceed the longer of three (3) months days or the period during which the absent Participant’s
    reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.

 

	6.	Share Options.

 

	 	a.	Grant
    of Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may
    grant Options to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion. The Administrator
    may grant NSOs, ISOs, or any combination of the two. ISOs shall be granted in accordance with Section 15(a) of the
    Plan.

 

	 	b.	Option
    Award Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the
    Option’s exercise price, the exercise date, the term of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains,
    vesting criteria and such other terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) as the Administrator
    shall determine in its sole discretion. If the Award Agreement does not specify that the Option is to be treated as an ISO,
    the Option shall be deemed a NSO.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

	 	c.	Exercise
    Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be no less than
    the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the above or any other term in this Plan or any Award Agreement,
    Shares shall be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option at a price at least equal to their par value.

 

	 	d.	Term
    of Options. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement. Unless terminated sooner in accordance with
    the Plan or Award Agreement, no Option shall be exercisable on or after the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date.
	 	 	 
	 	e.	Time
    and Form of Payment.

 

	 	i.	Exercise
    Date. Each Award Agreement shall specify how and when Shares covered by an Option may be purchased. The Award Agreement
    may specify waiting periods, the dates on which Options become exercisable or “vested” and, subject to the termination
    provisions of the Option, exercise periods. The Administrator may accelerate the exercisability of any Option or portion thereof.

 

	 	ii.	Exercise
    of Option. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under
    such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for
    a fraction of a Share. An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (1) notice of exercise (in such form
    as the Administrator shall specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (2) full payment
    for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with all applicable withholding taxes). Full payment
    may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement
    and the Plan (together with all applicable withholding taxes). Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in
    the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse or a Designated
    Beneficiary. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry in the register of members of the Company),
    no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to
    the Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly
    after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior
    to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13.

 

	 	iii.	Payment.
    The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment.
    Such consideration may consist entirely of:

 

	 	(1)	cash;

 

	 	(2)	check;

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

	 	(3)	to
    the extent not prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a promissory note;

 

	 	(4)	other
    Shares, provided Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares
    as to which said Option will be exercised (such Shares will be repurchased by the Company at a repurchase price equal to their
    Fair Market Value);

 

	 	(5)	to
    the extent not prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in accordance with any broker-assisted cashless
    exercise procedures approved by the Company and as in effect from time to time;

 

	 	(6)	by
    asking the Company to withhold Shares from the total Shares to be delivered upon exercise equal to the number of Shares having
    a value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares being acquired;

 

	 	(7)	any
    combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

 

	 	(8)	such
    other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

	 	f.	Forfeiture
    of Options. All unexercised Options shall be forfeited to the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions set
    forth in the Award Agreement and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

 

	7.	Restricted
    Shares.

 

	 	a.	Grant
    of Restricted Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to
    time, may grant Restricted Shares to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

 

	 	b.	Restricted
    Shares Award Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the
    Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, the purchase price of the Shares, if any, and the means of payment for
    the Shares, vesting criteria, transferability restrictions, and such other terms and conditions (which need not be identical
    among Participants) as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise,
    the Company’s designee as escrow agent will hold Restricted Shares until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.
    Any share certificates issued in respect of an Award of Restricted Shares shall be registered in the name of the Participant
    and, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, deposited by the Participant, together with a signed share transfer
    instrument endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee).
	 	 	 
	 	c. 	Terms
    and Conditions.

 

	 	i.	Vesting
    Conditions. During the Period of Restriction, Restricted Shares shall be subject to forfeiture (such forfeiture may be
    effected by way of redemption by the Company pursuant to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association as well
    as the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) and the Participants whose Restricted Shares are redeemed grants their
    consent to such redemption in advance)) (including a right in the Company to repurchase Restricted Shares at less than the
    then Fair Market Value per Share) arising on the basis of such conditions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion.
    Any such risk of forfeiture may be waived or terminated, or the Period of Restriction shortened, at any time by the Administrator
    on such basis as it deems appropriate.

 

	 	ii.	Sale
    Price. Subject to the requirements of the Applicable Laws, the Administrator shall determine the price, if any, at which
    Restricted Shares shall be sold or awarded to a Participant, which may vary from time to time and among Participants and which
    may be below the market value of such Shares at the date of grant or issuance.

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

	 	iii.	Voting
    Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Restricted Shares granted hereunder may exercise full
    voting rights with respect to those Shares.

 

	 	iv.	Dividends
    and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Restricted Shares will be entitled
    to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares. If any such dividends or distributions
    are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted
    Shares with respect to which they were paid.

 

	 	v.	Transferability.
    Except as provided in the Plan, Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated
    or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.

 

	 	d.	Removal
    of Restrictions. All restrictions imposed on Restricted Shares shall lapse and the Period of Restriction shall end upon
    the satisfaction of the vesting conditions imposed by the Administrator. Restricted Shares not previously forfeited will be
    released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator
    may determine, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the year in which
    vesting occurred.

 

	8.	Restricted
    Share Units.

 

	 	a.	Grant
    of Restricted Share Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time
    to time, may grant Restricted Share Units to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator will determine in its
    sole discretion.

 

	 	b.	Restricted
    Share Units Award Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Share Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify
    the number of Restricted Share Units granted, vesting criteria, form of payout, vesting criteria and such other terms and
    conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

	 	c.	Vesting
    Conditions. During the Period of Restriction, Restricted Shares Units shall be subject to forfeiture arising on the basis
    of such conditions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Any such risk of forfeiture may be waived or
    terminated, or the Period of Restriction shortened, at any time by the Administrator on such basis as it deems appropriate.

 

	 	d.	Time
    and Form of Payment. Upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions, payment of vested Restricted Share Units
    shall occur in the manner and at the time provided in the Award Agreement, but in no event later than the 15th
    day of the third month following the end of the year in which vesting occurred. Except as otherwise provided in the Award
    Agreement, Restricted Share Units may be paid in cash (equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the
    vested Restricted Share Units), Shares, or a combination thereof at the sole discretion of the Administrator. Restricted Share
    Units that are fully paid in cash will not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

 

	9.	Share
    Appreciation Rights.

 

	 	a.	Grant
    of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant
    SARs to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

 

	 	b.	Award
    Agreement. Each SAR grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the number of
    Shares underlying the SAR grant, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, vesting criteria and such other terms and
    conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

 

	 	c.	Exercise
    Price and Other Terms. The per Share exercise price for the exercise of an SAR will be no less than the Fair Market Value
    per Share on the Grant Date. No SAR shall be exercisable on or after the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding
    the above or any other term in this Plan or any Award Agreement, Shares shall be issued pursuant to exercise of an SAR at
    a price at least equal to their par value.

 

	 	d.	Time
    and Form of Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the
    Company in an amount no greater than: (i) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise
    over the exercise price; times (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. An Award Agreement may
    provide for a SAR to be paid in cash, Shares of equivalent value, or a combination thereof.

 

	10.	Performance
    Units and Performance Shares.

 

	 	a.	Grant
    of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Performance Units or Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers
    at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will
    have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.

 

	 	b.	Award
    Agreement. Each Award of Performance Units and Performance Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify
    the initial value, the Performance Period, the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares granted, and such other terms
    and conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) as the Administrator will determine in its sole discretion.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

	 	c.	Value
    of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the
    Administrator on or before the Grant Date. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value
    of a Share on the Grant Date.

 

	 	d.	Vesting
    Conditions and Performance Period. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including,
    without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they
    are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units or Performance Shares that will be paid out to the Participant.
    The time period during which the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met will be called the “Performance
    Period.” After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units shall be entitled to
    receive payout on the number and value of Performance Units or Performance Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance
    Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives have been achieved.

 

	 	e.	Time
    and Form of Payment. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units or Performance
    Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of vested Performance Units or Performance Shares by the Participant
    over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives
    or other vesting provisions have been achieved. Vested Performance Units or Performance Shares will be paid as soon as practicable
    after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third
    month following the end of the year the applicable Performance Period expired. An Award Agreement may provide for the satisfaction
    of Performance Unit or Performance Share Awards in cash or Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the
    value of the vested Performance Units or Performance Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination
    thereof.

 

	 	f.	Forfeiture
    of Performance Units and Performance Shares. All unvested Performance Units or Performance Shares will be forfeited to
    the Company on the date set forth in the Award Agreement, and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

 

	11.	Leaves
    of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise or as required by Applicable Laws,
    vesting of Awards will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. An Employee will not cease to be an Employee in the
    case of (i) any approved leave of absence or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company and any
    Affiliate.

 

	12.	Transferability
    of Awards. Unless otherwise provided in this Plan or otherwise determined by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold,
    pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or
    distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. However, the Administrator
    may, at or after the grant of an Award other than an ISO, provide that such Award may be transferred by the recipient to a
    family member; provided, however, that any such transfer is without payment of any consideration whatsoever and that
    no transfer shall be valid unless first approved by the Administrator, acting in its sole discretion and as required by the
    articles of association of the Company. For this purpose, “family member” means any child, stepchild, grandchild,
    parent, stepparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
    brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the employee’s household (other
    than a tenant or employee), a trust in which the foregoing persons have more than fifty (50) percent of the beneficial interests,
    a foundation in which the foregoing persons (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in
    which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty (50) percent of the voting interests. If the Administrator makes
    an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

	13.
    	Adjustments;
    Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

 

	 	a.	Adjustments.
    In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property),
    recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
    repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company
    affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
    benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, shall appropriately adjust the number and kind of Shares that may be
    delivered under the Plan, the Share-based limitations under Section 15(b), and/or the number, kind, and price of Shares
    covered by each outstanding Award.

 

	 	b.	Dissolution
    or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify
    each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not
    been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

 

	 	c.	Change
    in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed by the successor corporation
    on an equitable basis, which assumption shall be binding on all Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation
    may substitute equivalent Awards (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards) on an equitable basis.
    The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant, substantially
    similar shares or other property subject to vesting requirements and repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Participant
    than those in effect prior to the Change in Control.

 

In
the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award, unless the Administrator provides otherwise,
the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and SARs, including Shares
as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Shares and Restricted Share
Units will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Shares and Performance Units, all Performance Goals or other vesting criteria
will be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or SAR is not assumed
or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically
that the Option or SAR will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the
Option or SAR will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

For
the purposes of this Section 13(c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award
confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the
consideration (whether shares, cash, or other securities or property) or, in the case of a SAR upon the exercise of which the
Administrator determines to pay cash or a Performance Share or Performance Unit which the Administrator can determine to pay in
cash, the fair market value of the consideration, received in the Change in Control by holders of ordinary shares for each Share
held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the
Change in Control is not solely ordinary shares of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent
of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or SAR or upon the payout
of a Restricted Share Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit, for each Share subject to such Award (or in the case of Restricted
Share Units and Performance Units, the number of implied shares determined by dividing the value of the Restricted Share Units
and Performance Units, as applicable, by the per share consideration received by holders of ordinary shares in the Change in Control),
to be solely ordinary shares of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration
received by holders of ordinary shares in the Change in Control.

 

Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 13(c) to the contrary, (A) an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of
one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed upon a Change in Control if the Company or its successor modifies
any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals
only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate
an otherwise valid Award assumption and (B) in the event of an involuntary termination of services of a Service Provider for any
reason other than death, Disability or cause within six (6) months following the consummation of a Change in Control, any of his
or her Awards assumed or substituted in the Change in Control which are subject to vesting conditions and/or a right of repurchase
in favor of the Company or a successor entity, shall accelerate in full. All such Accelerated Awards shall be exercisable for
a period of one (1) year following termination, but in no event after expiration date of such Award.

 

	14.
    	Tax
    Withholding.

 

	 	a.	Withholding
    Requirements. Prior to the issue or delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company
    will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold or cause to be deducted or withheld, or require a Participant to remit
    to the Company or its Affiliates, an amount sufficient to satisfy national, federal, state, provincial, local, foreign or
    other taxes required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

 

	 	b.	Withholding
    Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to
    time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i)
    paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the
    amount required to be withheld, or (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares for repurchase having a Fair Market
    Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any
    amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made. The Fair Market Value of the Shares
    to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

	15.	Provisions
    Applicable In the Event the Company or the Service Provider is Subject to U.S. Taxation.

 

	 	a.	Grant
    of Incentive Share Options. If the Administrator grants Options to Employees subject to U.S. taxation, the Administrator
    may grant such Employee an ISO and the following terms shall also apply:

 

	 	i.	Maximum
    Amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, to the extent consistent with Section 422 of the Code, not more
    than an aggregate of five million (5,000,000) Shares may be issued as ISOs under the Plan.

 

	 	ii.	General
    Rule. Only employees of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. The ability of
    the Company to grant ISOs is subject to the shareholder approval requirement under the Code.

 

	 	iii.	Continuous
    Employment. Unless otherwise provided under the Code, the ISO will cease to be treated as an ISO unless the Optionee remains
    in the continuous employ of the Company or its Parent or Subsidiaries from the date the ISO is granted until not more than
    three months before the date on which it is exercised (or such longer periods as may be permitted by provisions in each Service
    Provider’s contract with the Company, such as the employment agreement, that predates this Plan, or in the event termination
    is due to death or Disability). A leave of absence approved by the Company may exceed three (3) months if reemployment upon
    expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved
    by the Company is not so guaranteed, then on the first day following the first three (3) months of such leave, the Optionee’s
    employment will be deemed terminated for this purpose and any ISO held by the Optionee will cease to be treated as an ISO
    if not exercised within three (3) months after the deemed termination date.
	 	 	 
	 	iv.	Award
    Agreement.

 

	 	(1)	The
    Administrator shall designate Options granted as ISOs in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding such designation, to the extent
    that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee
    during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars
    (U.S.$100,000), Options will not qualify as an ISO. For purposes of this section, ISOs will be taken into account in the order
    in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect
    to such Shares are granted.

 

	 	(2)	The
    Award Agreement shall specify the term of the ISO. The term shall not exceed five (5) years from the Grant Date.

 

	 	(3)	The
    Award Agreement shall specify an exercise price of not less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date or one
    hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date for Ten Percent Owners.

 

	 	(4)	The
    Award Agreement shall specify that an ISO is not transferable except by will, beneficiary designation or the laws of descent
    and distribution.

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

	 	v.	Form
    of Payment. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an ISO, including the method of
    payment, shall be determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 6(e)(iii).

 

	 	vi.	Notice.
    In the event of any disposition of the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO within two years from the Grant
    Date or one year from the exercise date, the Optionee will notify the Company thereof in writing within thirty (30) days after
    such disposition. In addition, the Optionee shall provide the Company with such information as the Company shall reasonably
    request in connection with determining the amount and character of Optionee’s income, the Company’s deduction,
    and the Company’s obligation to withhold taxes or other amounts incurred by reason of a disqualifying disposition, including
    the amount thereof.

 

	 	b.	Performance-based
    Compensation. If the Company grants an Award as “performance-based compensation” for which it claims deductions
    that are subject to the Code Section 162(m) limitation on its U.S. tax returns, then the following terms shall control over
    any contrary provision contained in the Plan and be applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of, and only to the
    extent required for compliance with, the exclusion from the limitation on deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m)
    of the Code:

 

	 	i.	Outside
    Directors. All grants of Awards intended to qualify as Qualified Performance-Based Awards and determination of terms applicable
    thereto shall be made by the Administrator or, if not all of the members thereof qualify as “outside directors”
    within the meaning of applicable regulations under Section 162 of the Code, a subcommittee of the Administrator consisting
    of such of the members of the Administrator as do so qualify. Any action by such a subcommittee shall be considered the action
    of the Administrator for purposes of the Plan. 

 

	 	ii.	Applicability.
    This Section 15(b) will apply only to those Covered Employees, or to those persons who the Administrator determines
    are reasonably likely to become Covered Employees in the period covered by an Award, selected by the Administrator to receive
    Qualified Performance-Based Awards. The Administrator may, in its discretion, grant Awards not intended to qualify as Qualified
    Performance-Based Awards to Covered Employees that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 15(b).

 

	 	iii.	Maximum
    Amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the maximum number of Shares that can be subject to Awards granted
    to any individual Participant in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company is five hundred thousand (500,000) Shares.
    For purposes of this limitation:

 

	 	(1)	For
    Awards denominated in Shares and satisfied in cash, the maximum Award to any individual Participant in the aggregate in any
    one fiscal year of the Company is the Fair Market Value of five hundred thousand (500,000) Shares on the Grant Date; and

 

	 	(2)	The
    maximum amount payable pursuant to any cash Awards to any individual Participant in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of
    the Company is the Fair Market Value of five hundred thousand (500,000) Shares on the Grant Date.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

	 	iv.	Performance
    Criteria. All performance criteria must be objective and be established in writing prior to the beginning of the Performance
    Period or at later time as permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m)
    of the Code, including the requirement that the outcome of the performance goals be substantially uncertain (as defined in
    the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code) at the time established. Performance criteria may include alternative and
    multiple performance goals and may be based on one or more business and/or financial criteria. In establishing the performance
    goals, the Committee in its discretion may include one or any combination of the following criteria in either absolute or
    relative terms, for the Company or any Subsidiary:

 

	 	(1)	Increased
    revenue;

 

	 	(2)	Net
    income measures (including but not limited to income after capital costs and income before or after taxes); 

 

	 	(3)	Share
    price measures (including but not limited to growth measures and total shareholder return);

 

	 	(4)	Market
    share;

 

	 	(5)	Earnings
    per Share (actual or targeted growth);

 

	 	(6)	Earnings
    before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”);

 

	 	(7)	Cash
    flow measures (including but not limited to net cash flow and net cash flow before financing activities);

 

	 	(8)	Return
    measures (including but not limited to return on equity, return on average assets, return on capital, risk-adjusted return
    on capital, return on investors’ capital and return on average equity);

 

	 	(9)	Operating
    measures (including operating income, funds from operations, cash from operations, after-tax operating income, sales volumes,
    production volumes, and production efficiency);

 

	 	(10)	Expense
    measures (including but not limited to overhead cost and general and administrative expense);

 

	 	(11)	Margins;

 

	 	(12)	Shareholder
    value;

 

	 	(13)	Total
    shareholder return;

 

	 	(14)	Proceeds
    from dispositions;

 

	 	(15)	Total
    market value; and

 

	 	(16)	Corporate
    values measures (including but not limited to ethics compliance, environmental, and safety).

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

	 	c.	Share
    Options and SARs Exempt from Section 409A of the Code. If the Administrator grants Options or SARs to Service Providers
    subject to U.S. taxation, the Company must qualify as an eligible issuer of service recipient shares within the meaning of
    Section 409A of the Code with respect to such Service Provider (unless the Option or SAR otherwise complies with Section 409A
    of the Code), and the Administrator may not modify or amend the Options or SARs to the extent that the modification or amendment
    adds a feature allowing for additional deferral within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

 

	16.	Grants
    to Foreign Nationals. Awards may be granted to Service Providers who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United
    States, or both, on such terms and conditions different from those applicable to grants to Services Providers in the United
    States as in the judgment of the Administrator may be necessary or desirable in order to recognize differences in local law
    or tax policy, and such Awards shall be considered granted pursuant to a non-U.S. sub-plan. The Administrator also may impose
    conditions on the exercise or vesting of Awards in order to minimize the company’s obligation with respect to tax equalization
    for employees on assignments outside their home country.

 

	17.	No
    Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon any Participant any right with respect
    to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company,
    nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s or its Affiliates’ right
    to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

	18.	Effective
    Date. The Plan’s effective date is the date on which it is adopted by the Board. The Company will obtain shareholder
    approval of the Plan to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

 

	19.	Term
    of Plan. The Plan will terminate five (5) years following the date it was adopted by the Board, unless sooner terminated
    by the Board pursuant to Section 20.
	 	 
	20.	Amendment
    and Termination of the Plan.

 

	 	a.	Amendment
    and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

	 	b.	Shareholder
    Approval. The Company will obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to
    comply with Applicable Laws.

 

	 	c.	Effect
    of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of
    any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in
    writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability
    to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

	21.	Conditions
    Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

	 	a.	Legal
    Compliance. The Administrator may delay or suspend the issuance and delivery of Shares, suspend the exercise of Options
    or SARs, or suspend the Plan as necessary to comply with Applicable Laws. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise
    of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws
    and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

	 	b.	Corporate
    Restrictions on Rights in Shares. Any Shares to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to
    all restrictions upon the transfer thereof which may be now or hereafter imposed by the memorandum and articles of association
    of the Company. In addition, either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, the Administrator may, but need
    not, impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales
    or other subsequent transfers by a Participant, or a holder of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, of any Share issued under
    an Award, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay
    and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant(s), and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified
    brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.

 

	 	c.	Registration.
    If the Company shall deem it necessary or desirable to register under the Securities Act or other Applicable Law any Shares
    issued or to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan, or to qualify any such Shares for exemption from the Securities
    Act or other Applicable Law, then the Company may, but shall not be required to, take such action at its own expense. The
    Company may require from each Participant, or each holder of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, such information in writing
    for use in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or offering circular as is reasonably necessary
    for that purpose and may require reasonable indemnity to the Company and its officers and directors from that holder against
    all losses, claims, damage and liabilities arising from use of the information so furnished and caused by any untrue statement
    of any material fact therein or caused by the omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
    to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. In addition, the
    Company may require any such person to agree to lock-up terms as the Company may deem advisable or appropriate.

 

	 	d.	Investment
    Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Shares to be issued pursuant to such Award shall have
    been effectively registered under the Securities Act, or the Participant exercising such Award shall have made such written
    representations and warranties to the Company (upon which the Company believes it may reasonably rely) as the Administrator
    may deem necessary or appropriate for the purposes of confirming that the issuance of the Shares pursuant to such Award will
    be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and otherwise
    in compliance with all Applicable Laws, including but not limited to that the Participant is acquiring the Shares only for
    investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares.

 

	 	e.	Placement
    of Legends; Stop Orders; etc. Each Share to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may bear a reference to
    the investment representations made in accordance with Section 21(d) in addition to any other applicable restriction
    under the Plan, the terms of the Award and to the fact that no registration statement has been filed with the Securities and
    Exchange Commission in respect to such Shares. All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan shall
    be subject to such share transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations,
    and other requirements of any share exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any Applicable Law, and the Administrator
    may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

	22.	Inability
    to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which
    authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder,
    will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
    authority will not have been obtained.

 

	23.	Repricing;
    Exchange And Buyout of Awards. The repricing or termination and subsequent repricing of Options or SARs at a lower purchase
    price per Share than the original grant is permitted without prior shareholder approval. The Administrator may authorize the
    Company to issue new Option or SAR Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards,
    subject to the consent of any Participant whose rights would be impaired. The Administrator may at any time repurchase Options
    with payment in cash, Shares or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator and the Participant
    shall agree.

 

	24.	Substitution
    and Assumption of Awards. The Administrator may make Awards under the Plan by assumption, substitution or replacement
    of performance shares, phantom shares, share awards, share options, Share Appreciation Rights or similar awards granted by
    another entity (including an Affiliate), if such assumption, substitution or replacement is in connection with an asset acquisition,
    share acquisition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company (and/or its Affiliate) and such other
    entity (and/or its affiliate). The Administrator may also make Awards under the Plan by assumption, substitution or replacement
    of a similar type of award granted by the Company prior to the adoption and approval of the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision
    of the Plan (other than the maximum number of shares of ordinary shares that may be issued under the Plan), the terms of such
    assumed, substituted or replaced Awards shall be as the Administrator, in its discretion, determines is appropriate.

 

	25.	Governing
    Law. The Plan and all Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York,
    without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

IMMEDICA shall be required to purchase, and the LICENSOR shall be required to supply, [*] of the quantity of Unlabeled Product forecast in the [*] of each Forecast.

	
 
	
7.7.3.
	
The LICENSOR shall be required to supply the quantity of Unlabeled Product ordered by IMMEDICA under this Section 7.7 in any Calendar Quarter up to the quantity forecasted for the [*] of the most recent Forecast.  If IMMEDICA’s orders in any Calendar Quarter exceeds the quantity forecasted for the [*] of the most recent Forecast, the LICENSOR shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply such excess.  The LICENSOR shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to meet IMMEDICA’s delivery requirements specified in accordance with Section 7.7.4.  In the event of a shortfall, the LICENSOR shall promptly inform IMMEDICA and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to apportion Unlabeled Product among IMMEDICA, the LICENSOR, and its other customers on a [*] according to their respective forecasts for the relevant period, provided always that such forecasts were proposed in good faith.  

	
 
	
7.7.4.
	
IMMEDICA shall make all purchases under this Section 7.7 by submitting firm purchase orders to the LICENSOR.  Each such purchase order shall be in writing in a form reasonably acceptable to the LICENSOR, and shall specify the quantity of Unlabeled Product ordered, the place of delivery and the required delivery date therefor, which shall [*] after the date of such purchase order.  In addition, IMMEDICA will specify the extent to which any Unlabeled Product should be supplied at a [*], in order to extend the shelf-life of the Product to [*] (the “[*]”).  In the event that any [*] is ordered, it shall be prioritized by the LICENSOR such that the first order the LICENSOR delivers after a new manufacturing run has been completed shall be the [*] ordered by IMMEDICA.  Upon receipt of a purchase order reflecting the requirements of this Section 7.7.4 by the LICENSOR, such purchase order shall be binding on both Parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if IMMEDICA places an order for delivery of Unlabeled Product and the requested delivery date is [*] after the last manufacturing run has been completed by the LICENSOR, then the LICENSOR may notify IMMEDICA in writing that such Unlabeled Product may not be able to comply with the minimum shelf-life requirements set out in Section 7.9.1, and what the remaining shelf-life of such Unlabeled Product would be (“Short-Dated Product”).  In such circumstances, if IMMEDICA chooses to proceed with such order, it shall not be a breach of Section 7.9.1 if the Unlabeled Product delivered by LICENSOR to IMMEDICA does not have the minimum shelf-life requirements, provided it has the remaining shelf-life advised by the LICENSOR at the time that IMMEIDCA 

19

 

Exhibit 10.1

chooses to proceed with the order.  If IMMEDICA chooses not to proceed with such order, then such purchase order shall automatically be cancelled and shall not be binding on the Parties.  No additional terms of any such purchase order shall be binding on the LICENSOR and are expressly rejected hereby.  In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of any purchase order and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.  IMMEDICA shall, in good faith, coordinate with LICENSOR to minimize placing orders with a requested delivery date after the first [*] of the manufacturing run.

Delivery and Acceptance.

	
 
	
7.8.1.
	
All Product supplied under this Agreement shall be shipped [*] (Incoterms 2020) to the destination port designated by IMMEDICA in its purchase order, which shall be in the Territory.  Any change in the location of delivery shall require the consent of both Parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Title to the Unlabeled Product purchased by IMMEDICA hereunder shall pass to IMMEDICA upon delivery at the destination port.  IMMEDICA shall be responsible for import duties, import clearance and acting as the importer for such Unlabeled Product.

	
 
	
7.8.2.
	
The LICENSOR shall insure the Unlabeled Products during transit.  The LICENSOR and IMMEDICA shall cooperate to ensure all import clearances and other taxes, duties and formalities are paid and in place prior to delivery.

	
 
	
7.8.3.
	
If the LICENSOR, at any time during the Manufacturing process, becomes aware that for any reason the LICENSOR will not be able to deliver to IMMEDICA the agreed quantity of conforming Product on the agreed delivery date in accordance with the terms of any purchase order or this Agreement (a “Delay”), or any Delay is likely to occur (an “Anticipated Delay”), then the LICENSOR shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize, cure or overcome such Delay and/or Anticipated Delay as soon as reasonably possible.  Promptly upon the LICENSOR first becoming aware of any Delay or Anticipated Delay, it shall notify the JSC and the IMMEDICA Alliance Manager of such fact in writing.  The JSC shall convene a meeting as soon as reasonably possible following such notice, to consider what steps should be taken to avoid or mitigate such Delay and/or Anticipated Delay and to develop a plan to avoid any Delay occurring, in the event of an Anticipated Delay, to mitigate the effects of any Delay and how to prevent any Delay and/or Anticipated Delay from occurring in the future, including the appointment of a Third Party Manufacturer or the allocation of more capacity to the Manufacture of Products for IMMEDICA.  In the event that a Third Party Manufacturer is appointed, the costs of the associated technology transfer shall be borne solely by the LICENSOR and shall be subject to the agreement of a high-level plan for the full and complete transfer of the relevant manufacturing Know-How and technology to such Third Party Manufacturer.  In the event of an issue at the Facility, or a supply shortage of the Product affecting IMMEDICA and/or the LICENSOR, its Affiliates and other licensees and Sublicensees, then the LICENSOR shall ensure that IMMEDICA receives a fair and reasonable pro rata share of any Product based on the quantities of Product included in purchase orders placed in the last Calendar Year before such Facility issue or supply shortage occurred.

If a shipment of Unlabeled Product or any portion thereof is not in conformance with the Specifications, Applicable Law, GMP, the terms of the Quality Agreement or does not, subject to Section 7.7.4, have a remaining shelf-life of at least [*], when received by IMMEDICA, (“Defective Product”) then IMMEDICA shall have the right to reject such shipment of Unlabeled Product if the entire shipment is nonconforming, or the portion thereof that fails to so conform, as the case may be.  IMMEDICA shall give written notice to the LICENSOR of its rejection hereunder, within [*] after IMMEDICA’s physical receipt of such shipment in premises controlled by IMMEDICA, specifying the grounds for such rejection.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and solely until the expiration of the shelf-life for the applicable Product, in the event of any Defective Product which was not obvious on receipt of such shipment, IMMEDICA shall have [*] after becoming aware of such Defective Product to notify the LICENSOR.  

	
 
	
7.9.2.
	
IMMEDICA’s grounds for rejection shall be conclusive unless the LICENSOR notifies IMMEDICA, within [*] of receipt by the LICENSOR of the notice of rejection, that it disagrees with such grounds.  In the event of such a notice by the LICENSOR, representative samples of the Defective Product in question shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable independent laboratory or consultant (if not a laboratory analysis issue) for analysis or review, the costs of which shall be paid by the Party that is determined by the independent laboratory or consultant to have been incorrect in its determination of whether the applicable Product should be rejected.

	
 
	
7.9.3.
	
In the event of any Defective Product, at IMMEDICA’s sole discretion, the LICENSOR shall either: (i) use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to replace such Defective Product, as soon as possible, and in any event within [*] after receipt of notice of rejection thereof, or (ii) refund the Price of such Defective Product, together with any associated administrative, handling and transportation costs.

In the event the LICENSOR reasonably determines that Product should be recalled, the LICENSOR shall provide notice to IMMEDICA including all relevant information that supports such determination.  Upon receipt of any such notice, IMMEDICA shall promptly initiate a Product recall.  IMMEDICA will have the responsibility for all communications with Regulatory Authorities in the Territory and customers regarding any recall of Product in the Field.  The LICENSOR will give IMMEDICA any assistance that IMMEDICA may reasonably request to handle any recall.

	
 
	
7.10.3.
	
In the event that such recall results from a Defective Product that was a Defective Product at the time of delivery of the Product, including the breach of the LICENSOR’s express warranties under Section 7.12, or the LICENSOR’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct (a “LICENSOR Caused Recall”), the LICENSOR shall, at IMMEDICA’s option, promptly replace the quantity of Products that were recalled at no cost to IMMEDICA, or reimburse IMMEDICA for the cost of the Products that were recalled (including all labeling and packaging costs, administrative and handling costs and transportation costs).  In the event that IMMEDICA elects to have the recalled Product replaced, the LICENSOR shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to replace such Product as soon as possible.  In the event that IMMEDICA elects to be reimbursed for the cost of the recalled Products, the LICENSOR shall reimburse IMMEDICA within [*] of receipt of request from IMMEDICA for reimbursement.  In addition, the LICENSOR agrees that it shall be responsible for the expenses of any recall.  For purposes of this Agreement, the expenses of the recall shall include the expenses of notification, and destruction or return of the recalled Product, and any costs associated with the distribution of the replacement Product.

18.4.
	
THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND FOREGO ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

19.GENERAL PROVISIONS

	
19.1.
	
Compliance.  The Parties shall conduct their business in accordance with environmental, labor and social standards.  Each Party further acknowledges and ensures that it and its Affiliates, Sublicensees and subcontractors are familiar with the provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and applicable local bribery and corruption laws, and shall not take or permit any action that will either constitute a violation under, or cause the other Party to be in violation of, the provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act or applicable local bribery and corruption law, environmental, labor and social standards (collectively, “Improper Conduct”).  In addition to any other rights either Party may have under this Agreement, if a Party (the “Improper Party”) notifies the other Party of, or if such other Party otherwise has a reasonable suspicion of, the occurrence of Improper Conduct, such other Party may inspect or have inspected by an independent auditor the premises, books and records of the Improper Party relevant to such Improper Conduct for the purpose of ensuring compliance under this Section 19.1. 

	
19.2.

Neither Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, except that: (a) LICENSOR may assign to a Third Party its rights to receive some or all of the Fees payable hereunder, (b) each Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any part hereof to one or more of its Affiliates without the consent of the other Party; and (c) either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety without the consent of the other Party to a successor to all or substantially all of its business to which this Agreement relates.  The assigning Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice of any such assignment.  Any permitted assignee pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement, and no permitted assignment shall relieve the assignor of liability for its obligations hereunder.  The LICENSOR shall not assign or otherwise transfer to any Affiliate or any Third Party any ownership interest in or to any Licensed Know-

How or Licensed Patent, unless (i) the LICENSOR’s entire business associated with the Product, including all Manufacturing rights relating to the Product, are assigned to such Affiliate or Third Party and (ii) this Agreement is concurrently assigned therewith.  Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement.  Any attempted assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be void.

	
19.3.
	
Severability.  Should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement become void or unenforceable as a matter of law, then such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement, and the Parties agree to substitute a valid and enforceable provision therefor which, as nearly as possible, achieves the desired economic effect and mutual understanding of the Parties under this Agreement.

	
19.4.
	
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws in effect in the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provision thereof or of any other jurisdiction that would produce a contrary result, except that issues subject to the arbitration clause and any arbitration hereunder shall be governed by the applicable commercial arbitration rules and regulations.  

	
19.5.
	
Force Majeure.  Except with respect to delays or nonperformance caused by the negligent or intentional act or omission of a Party, any delay or nonperformance by such Party (other than payment obligations under this Agreement) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement to the extent such delay or nonperformance is caused by acts of God, natural disasters, acts of the government or civil or military authority, fire, floods, epidemics, pandemics, quarantine, energy crises, war or riots or other similar cause outside of the reasonable control of such Party (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), provided that the Party affected by such Force Majeure Event will promptly begin or resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable after the event has abated.  

	
19.6.
	
Waivers and Amendments.  The failure of any 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 by the other Party.  No waiver shall be effective unless it has been given in writing and signed by the Party giving such waiver.  No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified other than by a written document signed by authorized representatives of each Party.  

	
19.7.
	
Relationship of the Parties.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, joint venture, or legal entity of any type between LICENSOR and IMMEDICA, or to constitute one Party as the agent of the other.  Moreover, each Party agrees not to construe this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, as a partnership for any tax purposes.  Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party.

	
19.8.
	
Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

	
19.9.
	
Notices.  All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when: (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) sent by email (with confirmation of receipt), provided that a copy is sent by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested), or (c) when received by the addressee, if sent by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service
