Non-Exclusive License Agreement

Exhibit 10.18

Non-Exclusive License Agreement

This non-exclusive license agreement (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Rani Therapeutics, LLC (“Rani” or “Licensor”), a California limited liability company having an address at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, and InCube Labs, LLC (“InCube” or “Licensee”), a Delaware limited liability company having an address at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000. Rani and InCube may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

BACKGROUND

A. Rani and InCube reviewed the InCube patent portfolio and agreed to transfer ownership of certain patent assets from InCube to Rani;

B. InCube only agreed to transfer those certain patent assets because those patent assets were expected to have applicability primarily or solely within the Field of Use;

C. However, as there may be uses outside the Field of Use for those certain patent assets, InCube desired, and Rani agreed to grant to InCube, a broad worldwide, perpetual, no-cost and fully-paid, non-exclusive license back to InCube to those patent assets for all fields excluding the Field of Use;

D. As agreed, InCube has assigned to Rani, and Rani has accepted the assignment of, ownership of those certain patent assets and thus the transfer of ownership is complete; and

E. Rani and InCube now desire to document the license back of those patent assets to InCube.

For purposes of this Agreement, an entity will be deemed to control another entity if it owns, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) of the equity securities of such other entity entitled to vote in the election of directors (or, in the case that such other entity is not a corporation, for the election of the corresponding managing authority), or otherwise has the power to direct the management and policies of such other entity.

1.2. “Cover” means, with respect to specified Patent Asset and a country, that a Violation of such Patent Asset would occur by Exploitation of a Product in such country absent a license under, or ownership of, such Patent Asset; provided, however, that in determining whether a Valid Claim of a pending patent application would be infringed, it will be treated as if issued in the form then currently being prosecuted, where infringement for purposes of this Section 1.2 is determined without considering the effect of any safe harbor provision. Lexical cognates of the word “Cover” (e.g., Covered or Covering) will have correlative meanings.

1.3. “Exploit” means to develop, make, use, promote, provide, offer to sell, sell, market, distribute, import, export, or otherwise commercialize. Lexical cognates of the word “Exploit” (e.g., Exploited, Exploiting, or Exploitation) will have correlative meanings.

1.6. “Licensed Patents “ means the Patent Assets listed on Exhibit A of this Agreement. For clarity, any Patent Asset listed on Exhibit A includes patents or patent applications that claim priority thereto as per the definition of Patent Asset.

1.7. “Licensed Product” means any Product the Exploitation of which would constitute a Violation of a Licensed Patent but for the license granted Licensee by Licensor herein.

1.8. “Patent Asset” means a patent application filed in any jurisdiction, together with any patent application claiming priority thereto (including but not limited to continuation, divisional, substitution, or national phase and validation applications claiming priority thereto, but in the case of a continuation-in-part application only to the extent that all claims in a patent issued on the continuation-in-part application are supported in the application(s) to which priority is claimed) and together with patents issuing on said patent application or said patent application claiming priority thereto (where issued patents include without limitation registrations, reissues, reexaminations and extensions).

1.9. “Product” means a service, technique, composition, product, system, or method of treatment.

1.10. “Sublicensee” means a third party to whom Licensee grants a sublicense under the license in Section 2 of this Agreement.

Page 8 of 14

will be conducted before a three-arbitrator panel (the “Panel”), regardless of the size of the dispute, to be selected as provided in the JAMS Rules. Each arbitrator will be a former state or federal judge with at least five years of judicial experience. The arbitration will be commenced and held in Santa Xxxxx County, California. Any issue concerning the location of the arbitration, the extent to which any dispute is subject to arbitration, the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of these procedures, including any contention that all or part of these procedures are invalid or unenforceable, and any discovery disputes, will be resolved by the Panel. No potential arbitrator may serve unless he or she has agreed in writing to be bound by these procedures. Each Party will, upon the written request of the other Party, promptly provide the other with copies of all documents on which the producing Party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim or defense and a report of any expert whom the producing Party may call as a witness in the arbitration hearing. At the request of a Party, and upon the showing of good cause, the Panel will have the discretion to order production by the other Party or by a third party of other documents relevant to any claim or defense. Each Party will be entitled to take a maximum of three depositions, plus depositions of all experts designated to be witnesses at the arbitration. The depositions will be limited to a maximum of six hours per deposition. All objections are reserved for the arbitration hearing, except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or confidential information. The Panel upon a showing of good cause may order additional depositions or deposition hours. All aspects of the arbitration will be treated as confidential and neither the Parties nor the arbitrators may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. Before making any such disclosure, a Party will give written notice to all other parties and will afford such parties a reasonable opportunity to protect their interests. The result of the arbitration will be binding on the Parties and judgment on the Panel’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 21.4 will affect any Party’s ability to seek from a court temporary or interim injunctive or equitable relief to protect a Party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise. Each Party will share equally the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, the cost of an independent expert retained by the Panel, the cost of the Panel, and administrative fees of JAMS. Each Party will bear its own costs including its attorney and witness fees and associated costs and expenses. The Parties intend that these provisions will be valid, binding, enforceable, exclusive and irrevocable and will survive any termination of this Agreement. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES ARE AGREEING TO HAVE ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES DECIDED IN ARBITRATION, AND THE PARTIES ARE GIVING UP THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY OR COURT TRIAL.
