3.1.Development Plan. Licensee shall deliver to Licensor […***…] a proposed Initial Development Plan, which will become effective only upon Mount Sinai’s written approval. Upon approval by Mount Sinai, in its discretion, the Initial Development Plan will become incorporated into and a part of this Agreement. With respect to each Calendar Year following the Effective Date, Licensee shall deliver to Mount Sinai an annual updated Development Plan in accordance with Section 5.5, which shall set forth in reasonable detail the planned Development activities for such Calendar Year and the subsequent Calendar Year, as well as the anticipated timeline and budget for such activities.

Development Plan and become incorporated into and a part of this Agreement only upon written approval of Mount Sinai of such updated Development Plan. Licensee will promptly provide additional information as reasonably requested by Mount Sinai.

3.2.Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Throughout the Term and at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, Licensee shall use no less than Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize at least one Licensed Products in the Field of Use and Territory in accordance with the then applicable Development Plan. Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize at least one Licensed Products at all times throughout the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, failure to adhere to or meet the Development Plan (including any failure to achieve any target milestone as specified in the Development Plan) or any milestones set forth in Section 3.3 hereof shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Licensee so long as Licensee is continuing to use the Commercially Reasonable Efforts required under this Section 3.2 and as required under Section 3.3 hereof.

3.3.Due Diligence Events. In addition, Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the following Development milestones:

[…***…].

3.4Failure to Achieve Due Diligence Events. If, despite use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, Licensee is unable to achieve the due diligence events set forth in the Development Plan or the milestones set forth in Section 3.3 above, then the Parties will meet and discuss in good faith and agree on mutually acceptable revisions to the Development Plan and/or the milestone events. If, (i) despite any such revisions, Licensee continues to be unable to achieve the due diligence events set forth in the Development Plan or the milestones set forth in Section 3.3 (in all cases as amended) despite its use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts (a “Diligence Failure”), then, subject to this Section 3.4, and as Mount Sinai’s sole and exclusive remedy, Mount Sinai may terminate this Agreement effective thirty (30) days following the date it provides Licensee with Mount Sinai’s intent to so terminate, provided, however, that Mount Sinai may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.4 (and any such termination notice shall be ineffective) due to a Diligence Failure if Licensee pays Mount Sinai the applicable license maintenance fee set forth in the table below, which license maintenance fee shall be first due within

thirty (30) days following the date of Mount Sinai’s notice of intent to terminate pursuant to this Section 3.4.

Missed Milestone	License Maintenance Fee
Milestone 1	[…*…] U.S. Dollars ($[…*…] USD)
Milestone 2	[…*…] U.S. Dollars ($[…*…] USD)
Milestone 3	[…*…] U.S. Dollars ($[…*…] USD)

Payment for any Skipped Milestone that is owed in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be due within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the Achieved Milestone.

The milestones set forth in this Section 4.2 are successive and not creditable against any other obligations of Licensee. For the avoidance of doubt, each milestone event set forth above is payable only once, regardless of the number of times the milestone event is achieved, and the total, cumulative milestone payments payable to Mount Sinai hereunder shall in no event exceed […***…] U.S. Dollars ($[…***…] USD).

4.3.Running Royalties. As additional consideration for the license and other rights granted under this Agreement, during the Royalty Term, Licensee shall pay to Mount Sinai the annual percentage of Net Sales on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis as follows:

Worldwide Net Sales for the Applicable Calendar Year in the Territory	Running Royalty Percentage
If the Licensed Product contains […***…]:	[…***…]%
If the Licensed Product contains […***…]:	[…***…]%

On a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, in the event that there is no Valid Claim that covers a Licensed Product in a country within a Major Market in the

Territory, the royalty rate on Net Sales shall be […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the royalty rates given in the table above for such Licensed Product for the remainder of the Royalty Term for sales of such Licensed Product in such country.

4.4.Commercial Interruptions. In the event that Licensee has a Substantial Interruption Event which lasts […***…], then the provisions of this Section 4.4 shall apply. Licensee shall notify Mount Sinai in writing promptly in the event that a Substantial Interruption Event occurs or is anticipated to occur, and such notice shall include a reasonably detailed description and projected timeline and plan for curing any such Substantial Interruption Event. For the period that such Substantial Interruption Event is in effect […***…], Licensee shall pay to Mount Sinai the Interruption Royalty. Running royalties under Section 4.3 are fully creditable against such Interruption Royalty. In no event shall such Interruption Royalty be less than the running royalty owed to Mount Sinai over any commensurate time period during the previous Calendar Year.

4.5.Sublicense Fees. In accordance with this Section, Licensee shall pay to Mount Sinai […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of all Sublicense Income within sixty (60) days after receipt of such Sublicense Income. All consideration received by Licensee from any Sublicensee shall be fully auditable by Mount Sinai pursuant to the audit right in Section 5.11.

5.	REPORTS AND PAYMENTS

5.1.Reporting of First Commercial Sale. In addition to the Quarterly Reports required under Section 5.3, Licensee shall provide a written report to Mount Sinai setting forth the date of First Commercial Sale in each Jurisdiction within thirty (30) days of the occurrence thereof.

5.2.Reporting of Regulatory Approvals. In addition to the Quarterly reports required under Section 5.3, Licensee shall provide a written report to Mount Sinai setting forth the date of each Regulatory Approval in each Jurisdiction within seven (7) days of the occurrence thereof and cooperate with Mount Sinai in accordance with Section 7.3.

Within thirty (30) days after the Quarter in which any First Commercial Sale occurs, and within thirty (30) days after each Quarter thereafter, Licensee shall provide Mount Sinai with a written report detailing the amount of Gross Sales from Commercial Sales of Licensed Products during the preceding Quarter, the amount of Net Sales made during such Quarter and the royalty payments due to Mount Sinai for such Quarter pursuant to Article 4 (each such report, a “Quarterly Report”). Each Quarterly Report shall include at least the following:

(a)accounting for Net Sales, detailing the Gross Sales and specifying the deductions taken to arrive at Net Sales, listed by Licensed Product and by Jurisdiction;

With each Quarterly Report submitted, Licensee shall pay to Mount Sinai the royalties and fees due and payable under this Agreement, to the extent not already paid pursuant to Article 4. If no royalties or fees are due and payable, Licensee shall so report. Licensee’s failure to timely submit to Mount Sinai payment or a Quarterly Report substantially in the required form will constitute a material breach of this Agreement permitting Mount Sinai to terminate this Agreement in full pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof in addition to Mount Sinai’s right to exercise any and all remedies at law or otherwise. Licensee will continue to deliver payment and Quarterly Reports to Mount Sinai after the termination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to any Quarter during which this Agreement remained in effect and until such time as all Licensed Product(s) permitted to be sold after termination have been sold or destroyed, in accordance with Section 13.3.

Within […***…] following the Effective Date while a Licensed Product is under development, Licensee shall submit to Mount Sinai (a) an updated Development Plan, in accordance with Section 3.1 and (b) a written report covering Licensee’s and/or its Sublicensees’, as applicable, Development and Commercialization activities, including (i) development and testing of all Licensed Products; (ii) achieving the due diligence events specified in Section 3.3; (iii) preparing, filing, and obtaining and maintaining of any Regulatory Approvals; and (iv) plans for the upcoming year related to commercializing the Licensed Product(s); and (v) any milestones achieved or not achieved in accordance with Section 4.2 (an “Annual Progress Report”). For clarity, SEC and other regulatory filings, marketing authorizations, and/or press releases are not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Annual Progress Report.

5.6.Milestone Reports. Within thirty (30) days after the due date of any milestone event, Licensee shall submit to Mount Sinai a written report which specifies, with respect to each milestone event set forth in Section 4.2, whether such milestone event has occurred as of the date of the report and, if so, (a) the date upon which such milestone event occurred, (b) the gross amount of the milestone payment due to Mount Sinai, and (c) an amount and description of any applicable fees, credits or deductions (a “Milestone Report”).

5.9.Currency Exchange; Taxes. For converting any Net Sales made in a currency other than United States Dollars, the Parties will use the conversion rate published in the Wall Street Journal Eastern US Edition conversion rate, or other industry standard conversion rate approved in writing by Mount Sinai for the last day of the Quarter for which such royalty payment is due. All applicable taxes and other charges such as duties, customs, tariffs, imposts and government-imposed surcharges shall be borne by Licensee and will not be deducted from payments due to Mount Sinai.

5.10.Late Payments. In the event royalty payments or other fees are not received by Mount Sinai when due hereunder, Licensee shall pay to Mount Sinai interest charges that will accrue interest until paid at a rate equal to one (1) percentage point above the U.S. Prime Rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition from time-to-time (or the maximum allowed by Law, if less), calculated on the number of days such payment is overdue.

5.11.Records and Audit Rights. Licensee shall keep, and cause its Sublicensees to keep, complete, true and accurate records and books containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of showing the amounts payable to Mount Sinai hereunder. The records for each Quarter will be maintained for at least […***…] ([…***…]) years after the Calendar Year in which the applicable report was submitted to Mount Sinai. Such books and the supporting data shall be open to inspection by an independent auditor of Mount Sinai that is reasonably acceptable to Licensee for a term of […***…] ([…***…]) years following the end of the Calendar

Year to which they pertain, for the sole purpose of verifying Licensee’s royalty statement and compliance in other respects with the Agreement. Such access will be made available solely during Licensee’s ordinary business hours with at least seven (7) days prior written notice to Licensee or its Sublicensee, as applicable, and not more than once each Calendar Year during the Term and for […***…] ([…***…]) years following expiration of termination of this Agreement. All books, records, data, and information learned through such inspection is and shall be treated as Licensee’s Confidential Information (except as provided in Section 6.1). A full and complete copy of any report prepared by such auditor shall be promptly made available to Licensee. Should such inspection lead to the discovery of at least a […***…] percent ([…***…]%) discrepancy in reporting to Mount Sinai’s detriment, Licensee agrees to pay the reasonable cost of such inspection. Should such inspection lead to the discovery of an overpayment by Licensee then Mount Sinai shall promptly refund any such overpayment to Licensee. For clarity, any amounts rightfully shown to be owed pursuant to any audits conducted under this Section 5.11 but unpaid will be due immediately and payable by Licensee within sixty (60) days after receipt of the auditor’s report.

6.	CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICITY; USE OF NAME

6.1.“Confidential Information” means any and all information of a Party (the “Disclosing Party”), or such information of such Party’s or of Third Parties provided on behalf of such Party to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), that is disclosed in tangible form marked as “confidential” upon disclosure or, if disclosed in oral or other intangible form, is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure and summarized in a writing that is marked as “confidential” and provided to the Receiving Party within thirty (30) days of the intangible disclosure, provided however that failure to so ▇▇▇▇, identify, or summarize shall not alter the status of such information as Confidential Information if a reasonable person would, based on the content and/or context of the disclosure, recognize such disclosure was intended as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by written and/or electronic records: (i) is available to the public at the time of disclosure hereunder or, after disclosure, becomes a part of the public domain by publication or otherwise, through no breach by the Receiving Party; (ii) is already properly possessed by the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; (iii) was received by the Receiving Party without obligation of confidentiality or limitation on use from a Third Party who had the lawful right to disclose such information; or (iv) was independently developed by or for the Receiving Party by any person or persons who had no knowledge or benefit of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, where the written or electronic records demonstrating such exception were created contemporaneously with such independent development.

6.2.Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall maintain in confidence and not disclose to any Third Party any of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature but in no event using less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party will use Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely as reasonably required to undertake its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “Purpose”). For clarity, except as provided for herein, the Purpose expressly excludes any use of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for (i) regulatory or patent filing purposes other than in express support of Licensed Products as permitted hereunder, or (ii) initiation or pursuit of any proceeding to challenge the patentability, validity, or enforceability of

any patent application or issued patent (or any portion thereof) that is owned or Controlled by Disclosing Party (including, e.g., via pre-issuance submissions, post grant review, or inter partes review), in all cases other than in defense of an infringement claim first brought by the Disclosing Party. Any such excluded use is hereby deemed a material breach of this Agreement and in such event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the non-breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this agreement and seek resolution of such dispute in any court of competent jurisdiction notwithstanding any provisions herein regarding resolution of disputes between the Parties. The Receiving Party will ensure that its employees, independent contractors, and Sublicensees (“Recipient Individuals”) have access to Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only on a need to know basis, are informed of all the obligations attaching to such Confidential Information in advance of being given access to it, and are required to comply with such Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and Receiving Party shall be fully responsible to Disclosing Party for such compliance by its Recipient Individuals. If such Recipient Individual is not an employee of a Party hereto, then Recipient will enter into a legally binding confidentiality agreement with provisions at least as strict as the confidentiality obligations and use restrictions herein, with such Recipient Individual prior to disclosing Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to such Recipient Individual, and Receiving Party will be fully responsible to Disclosing Party for compliance with such obligations and restrictions by such Recipient Individual.

6.3.Notwithstanding the above Section 6.2, the Receiving Party may disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the limited extent required by Law, court order, or other governmental authority with jurisdiction, provided that the Receiving Party (a) promptly provides the Disclosing Party, to the extent legally permissible, with written notice of such requirement, (b) uses no less than reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of such Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information by such court or governmental authority, and (c) cooperates, at the Disclosing Party’s written request and expense, with the Disclosing Party’s legal efforts to prevent or limit the scope of such required disclosure; the Receiving Party shall in all other respects continue to hold such Confidential Information as confidential and subject to all obligations of this Article 6. The Receiving Party’s obligations of confidentiality and non-use restrictions as set forth in this Article 6 shall remain in effect for a period of […***…] ([…***…]) years from receipt of the Confidential Information from the Disclosing Party.

6.4.Each Party agrees to treat the terms and conditions of this Agreement as the Confidential Information of the other Party, provided however that in addition to the above exceptions, each Party shall be free to disclose any of the terms of this Agreement (i) to the extent that it is required to do so by the regulations or rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any relevant stock exchange, (ii) to actual or prospective Sublicensees, (iii) to its accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors, or (iv) in connection with a financing, merger, consolidation, acquisition or a permitted assignment of this Agreement; provided that (l) in the case of any disclosure under clause (ii), (iii), or (iv) above, the recipient(s) are obligated and do so undertake to keep such terms of this Agreement confidential to the same extent as said Party (said Party being fully responsible to the other Party for such recipients’ compliance), and (2) in the case of disclosure under clause (i), such disclosure shall be in accordance with Section 6.3.

6.5.Publicity. The Parties may issue a press release regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby only upon mutual written agreement and, if so, will cooperate to determine the timing and content of such press release.

6.6.Use of Either Party’s Name. Except as required by Law, each Party and its Sublicensees, employees and agents may not use the name, logo, seal, trademark, or service ▇▇▇▇ of the other Party, including any school or organization of Mount Sinai, or any faculty member, student, employee, officer, director, trustee, or other representative of such other Party (or any adaptation of any of the foregoing) without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent will be granted or denied in that Party’s sole discretion. Any request for use of Mount Sinai’s name, logo, seal, trademark, or service ▇▇▇▇ must be first submitted to and prior approved in writing by Mount Sinai Innovation Partners.

7.	PATENT PROSECUTION AND REIMBURSEMENT

7.1.Patent Prosecution. Mount Sinai shall control the Prosecution of Licensed Patents and the selection of patent counsel. Mount Sinai will request that copies of all documents prepared by patent counsel be provided to Licensee for review and comment prior to filing, to the extent practicable under the circumstances. Mount Sinai will consider any comments from Licensee in good faith; provided, however, that, subject to Section 7.4, Mount Sinai shall have final authority regarding all Prosecution decisions. All Licensed Patents will be in Mount Sinai’s name, and Licensee acknowledges that Mount Sinai shall remain the sole client of such patent counsel and in every case shall retain the right to make the final decision with respect to any Prosecution matter. Licensee shall pay, within thirty (30) days of invoice, all reasonable expenses for Prosecuting the Licensed Patents, including without limitation, any taxes, annuities or maintenance fees on such Licensed Patents. Licensee agrees to receive invoices directly from patent counsel, with Mount Sinai receiving a copy of such invoice. Licensee shall pay such invoices directly to patent counsel with written confirmation of payment to Mount Sinai. Further, the Parties agree to enter into a Client and Billing Agreement with patent counsel substantially in the form of Exhibit E, which is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

7.2.Patent Reimbursement. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Licensee will reimburse Mount Sinai for all accrued attorneys’ fees, expenses, official fees and all other charges accumulated prior to the Effective Date incident to the Prosecution of the Licensed Patents, which amount is currently estimated at […***…] U.S. dollars ($[…***…] USD) as of February 12, 2020, which is subject to change. In addition to such accrued, unreimbursed patent expenses, Licensee shall reimburse Mount Sinai for all ongoing patent prosecution expenses, regardless of the presence or absence of a Client and Billing Agreement, with thirty (30) days of invoice. To be clear, Licensee will reimburse Mount Sinai for all patent expenses after the Effective Date and prior to execution of a Client and Billing Agreement.

7.3.Patent Extension. Licensee shall, within three (3) days of the triggering event, notify Mount Sinai of any Regulatory Approval for any Licensed Product for which an application for Patent term extension may be based, including with respect to any Third Party product, or any other event in any Jurisdiction that would enable Mount Sinai or Licensee as appropriate to apply for Patent term extension or other regulatory or marketing exclusivity or extension thereof in any Jurisdiction. The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other to provide any information or

documentation necessary to support an application for Patent term extension or other regulatory or marketing exclusivity.

7.4.Abandonment.

(a)By Licensee. Licensee will have the right to discontinue its obligation to pay for the Prosecution of any Licensed Patent hereunder in a particular Jurisdiction (a “Licensee Abandoned Patent”). In each such instance, Licensee will provide Mount Sinai with written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to any office action deadline to enable Mount Sinai to take appropriate action (“Licensee Abandon Notice”). Licensee shall be released from its obligation to reimburse Mount Sinai for the expenses incurred after sixty (60) days from receipt of an Licensee Abandon Notice; provided, however, that expenses incurred or authorized prior to the receipt by Mount Sinai of such Licensee Abandon Notice shall be deemed incurred prior to the notice. If any Licensed Patent becomes a Licensee Abandoned Patent hereunder, any license granted by Mount Sinai to Licensee hereunder with respect to such Licensee Abandoned Patent will immediately and automatically terminate, and Licensee will have no rights whatsoever to Exploit such Licensee Abandoned Patent. For clarity, Mount Sinai will then be free, without further notice or obligation to Licensee, to dispose of such Licensee Abandoned Patent in any manner.

(b)By Mount Sinai. Should Mount Sinai elect to discontinue Prosecution of any Licensed Patent hereunder in a particular Jurisdiction (a “Mount Sinai Abandoned Patent”) (including in response to or as a result of any oppositions, cancellations, interferences, reissue proceedings, or reexaminations brought by a Third Party against a Licensed Patent) then, in each such instance, Mount Sinai will provide Licensee with written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to any deadline to enable Licensee to take appropriate action (“Mount Sinai Abandon Notice”). Upon receipt of a Mount Sinai Abandon Notice Licensee will be immediately released from its obligation to reimburse Mount Sinai for any expenses incurred in connection with the applicable Mount Sinai Abandoned Patent and, if Licensee desires to continue Prosecution (including any defense of any opposition, cancellation, interference, reissue proceeding, or reexamination) of a Mount Sinai Abandoned Patent then, at Licensee’s request, Mount Sinai will, free of charge, promptly assign exclusive ownership of all right, title, and interest in and to such Mount Sinai Abandoned Patent to Licensee. If any Licensed Patent becomes a Mount Sinai Abandoned Patent hereunder then Licensee will have no obligation to pay any further royalties, milestones, or other consideration with respect to such Mount Sinai Abandoned Patent.

7.5. Failure to Timely Pay Patent Expenses. Should Licensee decline or fail to pay by the deadlines set forth herein the costs and legal fees for the Prosecution of any Licensed Patents payable under this Agreement (other than in accordance with Section 7.4(a)), and Licensee fails to cure the same within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice thereof by Mount Sinai, then Mount Sinai may, at its sole discretion, elect to (a) exclude by written notice the particular Licensed Patent from this Agreement, without terminating the Agreement in its entirety, and such Licensed Patent shall be deemed a Licensee Abandoned Patent under this Agreement upon such notice, or (b) terminate this Agreement in full pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof.

8.	INFRINGEMENT

8.1.Notice. In the event that either Party becomes aware of any suspected infringement of any Licensed Patent or of any Infringement Action, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party thereof. Licensee and Mount Sinai will consult each other in a timely manner concerning any appropriate response to such suspected infringement or Infringement Action.

8.2.Procedure.

(a)As between the Parties, Licensee will have the first right, but not the obligation, to initiate, pursue, and control any Infringement Action (whether against an infringing Third Party or brought by a Third Party with respect to any Licensed Patent or Licensed Product) at its own expense. If, within fifteen (15) days after the notice, pursuant to Section 8.1, of any suspected infringement or Infringement Action, Licensee has elected not to initiate or defend such Infringement Action, as applicable, then Mount Sinai shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate and/or defend and control such Infringement Action at its own expense.

(b)The Party controlling any Infringement Action shall use reasonable efforts to: (i) inform the other Party of the status of such Infringement Action on a regular basis or as requested by the Party without primary control of the Infringement Action; (ii) provide to the other Party copies of any documents relating to the Infringement Action promptly upon receipt from any Third Party and/or, if practicable, prior to filing such documents; (iii) consult with the other Party regarding the advisability of any contemplated course of action; and (iv) consider any comments from the other Party regarding the Infringement Action. The Party without control of an Infringement Action shall cooperate, at controlling Party’s expense (including reasonable fees and other expenses for the noncontrolling Party’s attorney), with the Party controlling such Infringement Action to the extent reasonably possible, including joining the Infringement Action if necessary or desirable. The non-controlling Party’s reasonable expenses will be paid by controlling Party within thirty (30) days of invoice.

(c)The Party controlling the Infringement Action shall not enter into a settlement of any Infringement Action that (i) restricts the scope of, (ii) adversely affects the enforceability of, (iii) grants a license to (other than a Sublicense in accordance with Section 2.2), or (iv) provides any other settlement action that adversely affects the value of this Agreement or any Patents related to a Licensed Product, or includes admission of fault or wrongdoing on behalf of the other Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party. For clarity, if the settlement of any Infringement Action includes granting a Sublicense, Licensee shall pay to Mount Sinai royalties on any Net Sales by such Sublicensee and a percentage of Sublicense Income, if applicable, in accordance with Article 4 in addition to any other share of recoveries due to Mount Sinai under this Section. For the purposes of settling an Infringement Action, a license granted as a non-revenue cross license shall be considered as a Sublicense, and must comply with all Sublicensing requirement herein, and the fair market value of such cross license to the extent attributable to the Sublicense shall be considered Sublicense Income.

8.3.Recoveries.

(a)Any recovery obtained by Licensee as the controlling Party that results of any Infringement Action, by settlement or otherwise, shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to reimburse each Parties’ litigation costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such proceeding and not otherwise recovered or reimbursed; and (ii) second, the remainder of the recovery shall be treated as Sublicense Income.

(b)Any recovery obtained by Mount Sinai as the controlling Party that results of any Infringement Action, by settlement or otherwise, shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to reimburse the Parties’ litigation costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such proceeding and not otherwise recovered or reimbursed; and (ii) second, the remainder of the recovery shall be retained by Mount Sinai.

(a)A WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION BY MOUNT SINAI THAT ANYTHING MADE, USED, SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, DISTRIBUTED, OR AS APPLICABLE PUBLICLY PERFORMED, PUBLICLY DISPLAYED, DERIVED FROM, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF PURSUANT TO ANY LICENSE GRANTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS OR WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY;

10.1.Indemnification. Licensee will defend Mount Sinai, and its trustees, officers, faculty, agents, employees and students (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, actions, and allegations brought by a Third Party (collectively, “Claims”) against an Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from:

(i)the exercise by Licensee, its Sublicensees, or vendors of any license granted under this Agreement;

(ii)any material breach of this Agreement or any Sublicense by Licensee or its Sublicensees; and/or

(iii)any willful misconduct, any negligent act, error, or omission, or any violation of applicable Law, of or by Licensee or its Sublicensees, or any of Licensee’s or its Sublicensees’ officers, directors, employees or agents, in each case with respect to the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement;

and Licensee will promptly pay all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, if applicable, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Liabilities”) finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction against an Indemnified Party as a result of any of the foregoing (i)-(iii); provided, however, that Licensee shall have no obligations under this Section 10.1 to the extent any Claims or Liabilities arise out of or are related to (1) an Indemnified Party’s material breach of this Agreement, (2) an Indemnified Party’s negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of applicable Law. Liabilities under this Section include, but are not limited to, Liabilities arising in connection with: (i) the use by a Third Party of a Licensed Product that was Developed,

Manufactured or Commercialized by Licensee, Sublicensees, assignees, vendors or Third Parties; (ii) a claim by a Third Party that the Licensed Patents, Materials, Technical Information, or the design, composition, or Exploitation of any Licensed Product infringes or violates or appropriates any Patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property right of such Third Party; (iii) clinical trials or studies conducted by or on behalf of Licensee, its Sublicensees, assignees, vendors or associated Third Parties relating to the Licensed Patents, Materials, Technical Information, or Licensed Products, such as claims by or on behalf of a human subject of any such trial or study; or (iv) a failure to perform under this Agreement or any Sublicense in material compliance with all applicable Laws, including, without limitation, all Health Care Laws.

10.1.Indemnification Procedure. Licensee’s defense and indemnification obligations hereunder are conditioned on the Indemnified Party (a) promptly providing Licensee with written notice of any Claim that is subject to Section 10.1, (b) giving Licensee sole control over the defense and settlement of such Claim, and (c) giving Licensee, at Licensee’s request and expense, all reasonably requested information and assistance to assist in the defense and settlement of any such Claim, provided, however, that Licensee shall not settle or compromise any Claim in any manner that may impose restrictions or obligations on any Indemnified Party, or that grants any rights to the Licensed Patents, Technical Information, Materials or Licensed Products (other than a permitted Sublicense), or that concedes any fault or wrongdoing on the part of Indemnified Party, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If Licensee fails or declines to assume the defense against any Claim within thirty (30) days after notice thereof, then the Indemnified Party may assume and control the defense of such Claim for the account and at the risk of Licensee, and any Liabilities related to such Claim will be conclusively deemed a liability of Licensee. The defense and indemnification rights of the Indemnified Party under this Article 10 are in addition to all other rights that an Indemnified Party may have at law, in equity or otherwise.

11.

INSURANCE

11.1.Coverages. Licensee will procure and maintain insurance policies for the following coverages with respect to personal injury, bodily injury, property damage and contractual liability arising out of Licensee’s performance under this Agreement as follows: (a) during the Term, comprehensive general liability, including broad form and contractual liability, in a minimum amount of […***…] U.S. Dollars ($[…***…] USD) combined single limit per occurrence and in the aggregate, written on an occurrence-basis, with no deductible, containing a separation of insureds provision, with additional coverage for broad form and contractual liability, completed operations; (b) prior to the commencement of clinical trials involving Licensed Products, clinical trials coverage in a minimum amount of […***…] U.S. Dollars ($[…***…] USD) combined single limit per occurrence and in the aggregate; and (c) prior to the sale of the first Licensed Product, product liability coverage, in a minimum amount of […***…] U.S. Dollars ($[…***…] USD) combined single limit per occurrence and in the aggregate. Mount Sinai may review periodically the adequacy of the minimum amounts of insurance for each type of coverage required by this Article 12, and Mount Sinai reserves the right to require Licensee to adjust the limits accordingly.

11.2.Other Requirements. Any policies of insurance required by Section 11.1 will be issued by an insurance carrier with an A.M. Best rating of “A” or better and will name ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇

as an additional insured, on a primary and non-contributory basis, with respect to Licensee’s performance under this Agreement. Licensee will provide Mount Sinai with insurance certificates evidencing the required coverage within thirty (30) days after the commencement of each policy period and any renewal periods. Each certificate will provide that the insurance carrier will notify Mount Sinai in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation or material change in coverage.

12.	TERM AND TERMINATION

12.1.Expiration of Royalty Term. Upon expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to a Licensed Product in any Jurisdiction and payment in full of all amounts owed hereunder with respect to such Licensed Product in such Jurisdiction, the licenses set forth in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 shall immediately become perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid up, and royalty-free for such Licensed Product in such Jurisdiction.

12.2.Termination by Mount Sinai.

(a)For Cause. Mount Sinai may give written notice of default to Licensee, if Licensee materially breaches any obligation, covenant, condition, or undertaking of this Agreement to be performed by it hereunder (including e.g., if Licensee should (i) fail to undertake Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect to Licensed Products, (ii) fail to achieve the developmental milestones in Section 3.3 or adhere to the Development Plan, in each case subject to Section 3.4, (iii) fail to make any payment at the time such payment is due, (iv) fail to maintain the insurance coverage required hereunder, or (v) fail to timely and sufficiently submit any Quarterly Report, Annual Progress Report, or Development Plan). If Licensee should fail to cure such default within ninety (90) days of such notice, this Agreement, and all of the rights, privileges, and license granted hereunder, shall automatically terminate at the end of such ninety (90) days.

(b)Immediate Termination. If Licensee experiences an Event of Bankruptcy then Licensee shall notify Mount Sinai immediately. For purposes of this provision, the term “Event of Bankruptcy” means, with respect to a Party: (a) filing by such Party in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Party or of its assets; (b) such Party being served with an involuntary petition against such Party, filed in any insolvency proceeding, where such petition has not been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof; (c) such Party proposing or being a party to any dissolution or liquidation of such Party and this Agreement is not assigned to a successor in interest of the business or assets of such Party; or (d) such Party making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors. Mount Sinai has the right to immediately terminate this Agreement after sixty (60) days of such notice of an Event of Bankruptcy of Licensee provided that Licensee has not provided to Mount Sinai sufficient documentation that demonstrates Licensee is no longer under an Event of Bankruptcy.

(c)Cessation of Business. If Licensee at any time (i) ceases to carry on its business related to the rights granted in this Agreement with no intention to resume such business, (ii) liquidates all or a material portion of its assets or business locations, (iii) employs an agent or other third party to conduct a program of closings, liquidations or sales of any material portion of

its business related to the rights granted in this Agreement (other than to a successor or purchaser of all or substantially all of such business), or (iv) is no longer a Going Concern, then this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon written notice by Mount Sinai. “Going Concern” is defined by the Auditing Standards Board SAS No. 132.

(d)Challenge of Patents. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein shall be construed as preventing it from challenging the validity or enforceability of the Licensed Patents at any time. In the event that Licensee or its Sublicensee shall, however, initiate a challenge to the validity or enforceability of any of the Licensed Patents in any forum through any means, or otherwise indicate the remittance of any payment due under this Agreement is made under protest or with any objection, Licensee agrees that Mount Sinai shall have the right, but not the obligation, in addition to any other remedy it may have available to it at law and/or in equity, to terminate this Agreement immediately upon providing written notice of the same to Licensee. Mount Sinai in response to such challenge by Licensee or following termination by Mount Sinai under this subsection may seek redress in any court of competent jurisdiction in its sole discretion notwithstanding Section 14.10 or any other provision of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Mount Sinai will have no rights or remedies pursuant to this Section 12.2(d) if Licensee or a Sublicensee challenges the validity or enforceability of any of the Licensed Patents in defense of an infringement claim first brought by Mount Sinai in a Court of competent jurisdiction.

12.3.Termination by Licensee.

(a)Without Cause. Licensee may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time, without cause, by giving written notice thereof to Mount Sinai. Such termination shall become effective sixty (60) days after such notice and all of Licensee’s rights associated therewith shall cease as of such effective date.

13.	EFFECT OF TERMINATION

13.1.Continuing Obligations of Licensee. Termination shall not relieve Licensee of any monetary or any other obligation or liability accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination, or rescind or give rise to any right to rescind any payments made or other consideration given to Mount Sinai hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination, nor shall such termination affect in any manner any rights of Mount Sinai arising under this Agreement prior to the date of such termination.

13.2.Survival of Terms. In addition to any provision which by its terms contemplates surviving termination or expiration of this Agreement or performance after the Term, the following provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement: Articles 1 (Definitions), 4 (Fees, Royalties, Milestones, and Payments, solely with respect to monetary obligations which accrued prior to termination or expiration of this Agreement), 5 (Records and Audit Rights), 6 (Confidentiality; Publicity; Use of Name), 10 (Indemnification), 13 (Effect of Termination), and 14 (Additional Provisions), and Sections 9.4 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 9.5 (Disclaimer of Liabilities), and 12.1 (Expiration of Royalty Term).

13.3.Licensed Product on Hand. If this Agreement is terminated by Mount Sinai pursuant to Section 12.2 or by Licensee pursuant to Section 12.3(a) then (a) Licensee shall provide Mount Sinai with a written inventory of all Licensed Products in process of Manufacture, in use, or in stock, and (b) Licensee may dispose of any such Licensed Products within the ninety (90) day period following such termination; provided, however, that Licensee shall pay royalties and render reports to Mount Sinai thereon in the manner specified herein as if this Agreement were still in effect.

13.4.Licensed Product Data. If this Agreement is terminated by Mount Sinai pursuant to Section 13.2 or by Licensee pursuant to Section 12.3(a) then a copy of all Licensed Product Data must be transferred to Mount Sinai within forty-five (45) days of termination of this Agreement, and in such event Mount Sinai shall have a non-exclusive, world-wide, perpetual, non-cancelable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license, with right to sublicense, to use such Licensed Product Data to further advance the development of the Licensed Patents and Technical Information.

13.5.Materials. If this Agreement is terminated by Mount Sinai pursuant to Section 13.2 or by Licensee pursuant to Section 12.3(a) then, within thirty (30) days of such termination, Licensee shall provide to Mount Sinai a list of descriptions and amounts of Materials on hand. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such list, Mount Sinai shall notify Licensee of any Materials it requires to be returned, provided, or destroyed (notwithstanding the Licensed Product disposition permissions under Section 13.3) and Licensee shall comply with instructions and certify adherence to instructions within thirty (30) days of receiving notice by Mount Sinai. Should any Materials be provided to Mount Sinai under this Section 13.5, such transfer shall be at Mount Sinai’s sole expense.

14.	ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

14.1.Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create an agency, partnership or joint venture between the Parties. At no time will either Party make commitments or incur any charges or expenses for or on behalf of the other Party.

14.2.Compliance with Laws. Licensee must comply with all prevailing Laws that apply to its activities or obligations under this Agreement. For example, Licensee will comply with applicable United States export Laws. The transfer of certain technical data and commodities may require a license from the applicable agency of the United States government and/or written assurances by Licensee that Licensee will not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without prior approval of the agency. Mount Sinai does not represent that no license is required, or that, if required, the license will issue.

14.3.Marking. Licensee shall, and agrees to require its Sublicensees to, comply with any marking requirements of the intellectual property Laws of the applicable countries in the Territory, and particularly agrees to permanently and legibly ▇▇▇▇ all Licensed Products made, used, reproduced, or sold under the terms of this Agreement, or their respective containers. Any Sublicense shall impose on the Sublicensee obligations substantially similar to those imposed in this paragraph.

14.4.Modification, Waiver and Remedies. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment that is executed by an authorized representative of each Party. Any waiver must be express and in writing. No waiver by either Party of a breach by the other Party will constitute a waiver of any different or succeeding breach. Unless otherwise specified, all remedies are cumulative.

14.5.Assignment. Licensee may not assign its rights under this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior written consent of Mount Sinai; provided, that Licensee may assign this Agreement or any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Mount Sinai to: (a) an affiliate of Licensee, or (b) a Third Party in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of Licensee related to this Agreement to such Third Party, provided notice is promptly given to Mount Sinai within thirty (30) days following such assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, should Licensee assign this Agreement to an affiliate or a Third Party, such assignment shall not be deemed to be a Sublicense and Mount Sinai agrees that such affiliate or Third Party will not be considered a Sublicensee. Any purported assignment in violation of this clause is void.

14.6.Notices. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, any notice or other required communication under this Agreement (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing, addressed to the Party’s respective Notice Address, and delivered personally or by globally recognized express delivery service, charges prepaid. A Notice will be deemed delivered and received: (a) in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such delivery; and (b) in the case of a globally recognized express delivery service, five (5) days from transmittal by Mount Sinai or Licensee, as applicable, to the other Party’s address below.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

14.12.Force Majeure. If either Party fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder (other than an obligation for the payment of money), when such failure is due to an act of God, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to fire, flood, civil

commotion, riot, war (declared and undeclared), revolution, pandemic, or embargoes, then said failure shall be excused for the duration of such event and for such a time thereafter as is reasonable to enable the parties to resume performance under this Agreement, provided however, that in no event shall such time extend for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days.

14.13.Certain Conventions. Any reference in this Agreement to an Article, Section, subsection, paragraph, clause or Exhibit shall be deemed to be a reference to an Article, Section, subsection, paragraph, clause or Exhibit, of or to, as the case may be, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.
