4.3.3.5

Sales Fees shall be due quarterly and shall be payable within […***…] of Buyer’s receipt of an invoice from Seller reflecting the Sales Fee amount set forth in the sales report for such period submitted by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement.

4.3.3.6

Sales Fees payable on Net Sales of Approved Products will be applicable against and offset only against the Annual Minimum Royalty. If the total Sales Fees for any calendar year exceed the combined Annual Minimum Royalty due for all Approved Product Categories in which an Approved Product has been launched, no additional Annual Minimum Royalty shall be due for that calendar year.

4.3.3.7

In the event that the Sales Fees are less than the Annual Minimum Royalties, Buyer shall pay the difference between the total Annual Minimum Royalty in all Approved Product Categories in which an Approved Product has been launched combined less the amount of Sales Fees received by Seller for the relevant calendar year (the “Sales Fee True Up”). The Sales Fee True Up shall be paid within […***…] of the end of relevant calendar year. In the event that Buyer does not pay Seller the Annual Minimum Royalty in a particular calendar year, Buyer will lose all exclusivity and co-exclusivity rights with respect to NR Product, products containing NR Product, and uses thereof and Seller shall have the option to terminate all of Buyer’s rights to sell the Approved Products in the Sub-Territory for which the Annual Minimum Royalty was not paid (“Annual Minimum Royalty Termination”).

4.3.3.8

The Sales Fees set forth in clause 4.3.3.2 above will be reduced by an amount equal to […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of such Sales Fees with respect to an Approved Product in each country in the Territory if for the applicable calendar quarter there is a product that (a) contains NR and (b) is either (i) a Functional Food or (ii) a Medical Nutrition product, has been approved by the applicable regulatory authority and is being sold in such country by a Third Party (a “Competing Product”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such […***…] percent ([…***…]%) reduction to the Sales Fees will not apply if and for so long as unit sales of Competing Products in such country are lower than (i) […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the units of Buyer’s sales in the corresponding period in such country or (ii) […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the units of Buyer’s sales in the corresponding period in such country if Seller has brought an action in a court of competent jurisdiction challenging such Competing Product. No Annual Minimum Royalties or Sales Fees on the Net Sales of Approved Products sold by Seller to Buyer are due with respect to any given Sub-Territory after the expiration, final invalidation or abandonment of all of Seller’s applicable issued patents and applicable filed patent applications for the NR Product in such Sub-Territory, or when Seller no longer has the right to sell the NR Product in such Sub-Territory.

4.3.3.9

The KG Price shall be due […***…] after the date of shipment of NR Product based on each Purchase Order (and corresponding with Seller’s invoice date). The Sales Fees shall be due within […***…] after the last day of each calendar quarter. In the event that, after first sale of an Approved Product, there are no sales made during a given calendar quarter, Buyer shall provide ChromaDex with a statement within […***…] after the last day of such quarter reporting that no sales were made during such quarter.

4.3.3.10

In the event Buyer, via benchmarking, can demonstrate a gap between the price being

charged by Seller and the competition or market price, or the price movement and the market price movement, for NR Products in comparable quality and quantity, Buyer and Seller will meet to discuss ways to remedy the situation. Further the Seller agrees not to sell or supply NR Products to any third party at a price lower than the applicable price charged to Buyer for the same volume of NR Products.

Intellectual Property Rights.

18.1

Rights Retained by Seller. Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in this Agreement, the sale of NR Product covered by this Agreement shall not confer upon Buyer any license or right under any patents, copyrights, trade secrets or other proprietary information owned or controlled by Seller, or the right to otherwise utilize such proprietary information unless in strict accordance with all of the terms hereof, it being specifically understood and agreed that all such rights, including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights contained therein and pertaining thereto, are reserved exclusively to Seller. Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully paid-up, royalty-free, exclusive or co-exclusive (in accordance with Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of this Agreement), non-sublicensable (other than to its Affiliates) right and license to use all current and future intellectual property rights, clinical and non-clinical data, records, formulations, data on new therapeutic uses and know-how, in respect of NR Product (the “NR Product IP Rights”).

(i)

Patent Filing and Prosecution. From time to time throughout the Term, the Parties will regularly confer and review their solely and jointly owned and licensed existing, now pending, and being developed during the Term intellectual property rights that claim NR Product, products containing NR Product, or any uses thereof and together consider strategies that would enhance the value of those rights in the context of NR Product, products containing NR Product, or uses thereof.

(ii)

Seller’s New Intellectual Property Rights. Any new intellectual property rights created solely by ChromaDex during the Term hereof, will as between the Parties be owned solely and exclusively by ChromaDex. Any such new intellectual property rights and any new intellectual property rights licensed to ChromaDex during the Term, to the extent that they are directed to Medical Nutrition or Functional Food and Beverages products containing NR Product or uses thereof shall not, however, be used adversely against Buyer by ChromaDex in contradiction to the terms and conditions detailed herein.

(iii)

Ownership of New Jointly Created Intellectual Property Rights. Any new intellectual property rights jointly created by ChromaDex and Buyer during the Term shall be jointly and equally owned by ChromaDex and Buyer (subject to the clarification in Section 18.1 (iv) below).

(iv)

Buyer’s New Intellectual Property Rights. Any new intellectual property rights created during the Term solely by Buyer shall be owned solely and exclusively by Buyer, including, for purposes of clarification, any new intellectual property rights in respect of NR Product in combination with other active ingredients or uses thereof and improved NR formulations (the “New IP”). Buyer agrees that it will not enforce its intellectual property rights in a legal proceeding against Seller for New IP pertaining or relating to the use or inclusion of NR in Functional Food and Beverages or Medical Nutrition that is necessary by Seller in order for Seller to achieve Technical Feasibility for a commercial launch of a Functional Food and Beverage or Medical Nutrition product, subject to Seller’s compliance with the exclusivity and co-exclusivity rights granted to Buyer under this Agreement.

(v)

No Right By Buyer to Challenge ChromaDex’s Intellectual Property Rights. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will not subvert, diminish, in any way challenge in any forum, including, but not limited to, administrative proceedings, or assert any rights in the ChromaDex Trademarks, ChromaDex Trade Secrets, NR, NR Product, products containing NR Product, or uses thereof, or any other NR intellectual property, including ChromaDex owned or licensed patents or patent applications. If Buyer violates or otherwise breaches this non-challenge clause, Seller shall have the right to terminate Buyer’s rights under this Agreement,

provided however, in no event shall such termination diminish Seller’s rights under this Section 18.1.

19.

If any term, covenant, warranty, remedy or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held or deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such term, covenant, warranty, remedy, or condition shall be conformed to a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that best accomplishes the original intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term, covenant or provision, to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each remaining term, covenant or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed valid, legal and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Force Majeure. A Party shall have no liability or obligation to the other party of any kind, including, but not limited to, any obligation to deliver NR Product or to make payment or accept delivery of NR Product, arising from any delay or failure to perform all or any part of this Agreement as a result of causes, conduct or occurrences beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, earthquake, lightning, storm, accidents, act of war, terrorism, civil disorder or disobedience, act of public enemies, , acts or failure to act of any state, federal or foreign governmental or regulatory authorities, labor disputes or strikes, (each a “Force Majeure Event”).

Indemnification and Insurance.

21.1

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller and its affiliates, successors, heirs, and assigns and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the "Seller Indemnitees"), harmless from any and all claims, damages, demands, suits, causes of action, controversy, judgements, liabilities, fines, regulatory actions, seizures of NR Product, losses, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees, expert witness expenses and litigation expenses) (hereinafter “Claim”), arising from or in connection with any Claim asserted by a third party against Seller (i) for any damage, environmental liability, patent or intellectual property infringement caused by Buyer’s use, modification or alteration of the NR Product, or any combination of the NR Product in connection with Buyer’s product or any third party’s product, or (ii) any injury, death, loss, property damage, delay or failure in delivery of Seller’s NR Product or any other Claim for injuries or damage to the general public who consumed the Approved Product (unless due solely and exclusively to a Claim arising from the NR Product), or (iii) any alleged or actual act, error, omission, or negligence by Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates’ agents, employees, or representatives in connection with the NR Product, Approved Products, or this Agreement, whether in tort, contract, breach of warranty or otherwise, relating to this Agreement, the business relationship between the Parties, Buyer’s development, manufacture, distribution, promotion, and sale of the Approved Products, or Buyer’s breach of this Agreement (including breach of Buyer’s representations and warranties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer has no indemnity obligation to Seller to the extent that any Claims result directly from the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or a material breach of this Agreement by Seller.

actual act, error, omission, or negligence by Seller or Seller’s Affiliates’ agents, employees, or representatives in connection with this Agreement whether in tort, contract, breach of warranty or otherwise, relating to this Agreement, the business relationship between the Parties, the NR Product provided hereunder, or Seller’s breach of this Agreement, or (iii) any use of the ChromaDex Trademarks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has no indemnity obligation to Buyer to the extent that any Claims result directly from the negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer or if such claims stem from Buyer’s acts or use which is not in accordance with the rights and requirements of Buyer herein.

21.3

Indemnification Procedures. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with prompt written notice of any claim, suit, action, demand, or judgment for which indemnification is sought under this Agreement. The indemnifying Party agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to the indemnified Party to defend against any such claim. The indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying Party in such defense and will permit the indemnifying Party to conduct and control such defense and the disposition of such claim, suit, or action (including all decisions relative to litigation, appeal, and settlement); provided, however, that the indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at the expense of such indemnifying Party, if representation of such the indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying Party would be inappropriate because of actual or potential differences in the interests of such indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel. The indemnifying Party agrees to keep the indemnified Party informed of the progress in the defense and disposition of such claim and to consult with the indemnified Party with regard to any proposed settlement.

21.4

Insurance. The Parties agree, for the Term of this Agreement, to maintain a program of insurance or self-insurance at levels sufficient to satisfy its obligations as set forth in this Agreement, which shall include commercial general liability insurance with limits of at least $[…***…] per occurrence and product liability insurance with an aggregate limit of at least $[…***…], and that such insurance coverage lists the other party hereto as additional insureds. Each party shall continue to maintain such insurance or self-insurance after the expiration or termination of this Agreement during any period in which Buyer or any Affiliate continues (i) to make, use, or sell an Approved Product under the terms of this Agreement and thereafter for a period of […***…].

22.

Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between Seller and Buyer shall be solely that of independent contractors and neither Party, its agents and employees, shall under no circumstances be deemed the employees, partners, joint venturers, franchisees, agents or representatives of the other Party. Neither Party shall represent itself as the agent or legal representative of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever or hold itself out contrary to the terms of this Section, and neither Party shall have the right to create or assume any obligation of any kind, express or implied, for or on behalf of the other Party in any way whatsoever.

23.

Assignment and Modification. The rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement shall not be assignable or delegable without the prior written consent of Seller except in the event of assignment to an Affiliate of Buyer (which does not require consent of the Seller, but does require reasonable advance written notification). Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of the foregoing shall be void. Seller may assign this Agreement, or delegate its duties hereunder, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the Buyer (but with advance written notification) (a “Transfer”) to an Affiliate (other than in connection with a Change of Control). In addition, Seller may also Transfer this Agreement to an Affiliate or a third party in connection with a Change of Control (a “Transfer Event”), subject to the requirements set forth herein. If Seller is contemplating entering into a Transfer Event with a company that sells products to consumers directly competitive with the Approved Products in the then existing exclusive and co-exclusive Territories or any other then existing NHSc brands (a “Restricted Transferee”), Seller shall notify Buyer in advance in writing and Buyer shall have a […***…] right of first negotiation from the date of such notification to negotiate in good faith terms by which Seller would complete a Transfer Event with Buyer. If after

such […***…] of good faith negotiations, no agreement is reached, Seller shall be entitled to Transfer this Agreement to a Restricted Transferee upon at least […***…] written notice thereof to Buyer; provided that in such event Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate this Agreement without penalty or liability. All other assignments or delegations by Seller require the advance written consent of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. This Agreement shall not be modified, altered or amended in any respect except by a writing signed by the Parties. Any variation, modification or addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement shall be considered a material modification and shall not be considered part of this Agreement unless it is amended in accordance with the foregoing.

24.

Governing Law; Venue; Attorneys’ Fees. This Agreement and all claims and causes of action shall be governed by and subject to the internal laws (exclusive of the conflicts of law provisions) and decisions of the courts of the State of Delaware.

If either Party fails to observe the procedures of this Section, as may be modified by their prior written agreement, the other Party may bring an action for specific performance of these procedures in any court of competent jurisdiction.

27.2

Equitable Remedies. Although the procedures specified in this Section are the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, either Party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional equitable relief pursuant to Section 30 if, in its reasonable judgment, such action is necessary to avoid irreparable harm to itself or to preserve its rights under this Agreement.

27.3

Dispute Resolution Procedures.

27.3.1

Exclusive Procedures. Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement including, without limitation, the interpretation, performance, formation, validity, breach (including, without limitation, alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties) or enforcement of this Agreement, and further including any such controversy, claim, or dispute against or involving any officer, director, agent, employee, affiliate, successor, predecessor or assign of a party to this Agreement (collectively, a “Dispute”) shall be resolved according to the procedures set forth in this Section which shall constitute the sole and exclusive Dispute resolution mechanism to resolve all Disputes and no other procedure may be used with the sole exception that a party need not comply with the terms herein before filing a claim for equitable relief.

27.3.2

Confidentiality. Without limiting the confidentiality obligations referred to elsewhere in this Agreement, the details and/or existence of any Dispute, any informal meetings, and any proceedings conducted hereunder, including without limitation any discovery taken in connection therewith, shall be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or discussed with any third party (excluding a party's attorneys, accountants, and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any Dispute resolution procedure hereunder and provided that they sign a confidentiality agreement at least as restrictive as this Section if they are not attorneys), except as otherwise required by laws or rule of any securities exchange on which such party's securities are traded.

27.3.3

Good Faith. With regard to any Disputes between ChromaDex and Buyer, the Parties agree to work together in good faith to resolve all disputes promptly.

27.3.4

Informal Dispute Resolution. Either Party may demand, in writing, that each Party’s management representatives meet within […***…] at such place as ChromaDex may reasonably designate to resolve the Dispute. No third party shall have authority to consider or resolve any Dispute that is not first the subject of informal Dispute resolution pursuant to this Section. The Parties or their representatives with full authority to settle the Disputes at issue shall attend all meetings.

27.3.5

Mediation. If the Parties do not resolve the Dispute within […***…] of the date of the first meeting between management representatives (the “Informal Dispute Resolution Deadline”), ChromaDex and NHSc agree to mediate the Dispute within […***…] of the Informal Dispute Resolution Deadline and at such place in the State of Delaware as ChromaDex may designate with a mutually agreed upon mediator. If the Parties cannot agree upon the selection of a mediator, the mediator will be chosen from the list of certified mediators maintained by a court having jurisdiction over this Agreement within […***…] of receiving such list. The Parties agree to continue to work in good faith to resolve the Dispute prior to the date upon which the mediation is scheduled to take place. If the Parties agree on a resolution for the Dispute prior to the scheduled mediation date, the mediation shall be cancelled. The Parties agree to share the cost of any independent mediator engaged to assist the Parties in resolving their differences. The mediator shall be a person familiar with complex business transactions and litigation in the nutraceutical industry, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. If either Party fails to mediate the Dispute within […***…] of the Informal Dispute Resolution Deadline, such Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to demand mediation and the other Party may, in its sole discretion, proceed directly to arbitration.

27.3.6

Arbitration. In the event the Dispute is not resolved through mediation, then the Dispute shall be fully and finally adjudicated by binding arbitration to the fullest extent allowed by law, but only if the arbitration is properly commenced within the time allowed for similar legal action to be commenced in accordance with the applicable statute of limitations; otherwise, the Dispute is waived. Except as provided herein or by agreement of all parties, the arbitration shall be administered by JAMS or its successors (“JAMS”) and shall be conducted according to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated or, if JAMS is no longer in existence, then the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (the “Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted as expeditiously and economically as reasonably practicable.

27.3.7

The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”). Unless all parties to the arbitration agree, the Arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to practice in at least one (1) State of the United States and need not be on the roster of JAMS or the AAA. The Arbitrator shall be selected as follows: If all parties to the Dispute do not agree upon the Arbitrator within […***…] after commencement of the arbitration, then any party may initiate the following selection process by written notice to each other party. Within […***…] after such written notice, each side to the Dispute shall simultaneously transmit to each other side a list of four (4) persons qualified to serve as the Arbitrator (the “Candidates”). No party shall nominate a Candidate whom that party knows or reasonably believes to have a conflict of interest rendering the Candidate unable to serve as the Arbitrator. If any single Candidate appears on the list of each side then that person shall be appointed as the Arbitrator. If more than one Candidate appears on the list of each side, then one of those Candidates shall be selected randomly and that person shall be appointed as the Arbitrator. If no Candidate appears on the list of each side then, within […***…] after the initial exchange of lists, each side may strike one Candidate from the list of each other side and rank all remaining Candidates in order of preference (with “1” being the most preferable Candidate), and the ranked lists shall be simultaneously exchanged. The Candidate with the lowest total number of points shall be appointed as the Arbitrator. In the event of a tie, one of the Candidates with the

Buyer's and Seller's Initials /s/ CK /s/ RF

EXECUTION COPY

lowest total number of points shall be selected randomly and that person shall be appointed as the Arbitrator. If the person selected as the Arbitrator declines to serve or becomes unwilling or unable to serve after selection or appointment, or the administrator declines to appoint that person as the Arbitrator, then the Candidate with the next lowest total of points shall be appointed as the Arbitrator. If any party to the arbitration fails to timely participate in the foregoing selection process then the administrator shall select and appoint the Arbitrator pursuant to the Rules, except that each recalcitrant party shall be excluded from that selection process.

27.3.8

The Arbitrator shall entertain any demurrer, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with Delaware or United States federal rules of procedure, as applicable

27.3.9

The exchange of information in the arbitration shall be governed by the Rules except as follows: (a) no side shall take the deposition of more than […***…] individuals (including the use of corporate, “persons most knowledgeable,” F.R.C.P. 30(b)(6), or similar deposition notices or devices) unless, upon a showing of extraordinary cause, the Arbitrator permits that side to take a limited number of additional depositions; (b) each side shall be entitled to the limited discovery of documents (including electronically stored information) which are directly relevant and material to the Dispute and are produced in response to a request that is narrowly tailored to minimize both the burden and expense of the responding person and the disclosure of confidential, sensitive or financial information; (c) no party shall propound interrogatories or requests for admission unless permitted by the Arbitrator upon a showing of extraordinary cause; and (d) upon the request of any party, the Arbitrator shall weigh the anticipated burden or expense of any requested discovery against its likely benefit, and shall impose any reasonable conditions on that discovery, including, without limitation, allocation of the expense of the discovery to the party seeking it.

27.3.10

The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the Dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (the “Award”). The Award shall be final and binding on the Parties and, if the Award is not fully satisfied within […***…] after its issuance, then judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets. Each Party to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware for any purpose permitted herein.

27.3.11

The administrative costs of the arbitration, including fees of the Arbitrator, initially shall be split equally between the sides; provided, however, that the Arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, allocate such costs in favor of any prevailing party.

27.3.12

If all or any portion of a Dispute is held to be non-arbitrable then that Dispute (or portion thereof) shall be adjudicated by a single referee appointed by a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware.

27.3.13

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement including, without limitation, any other provision of this Section 27, the Parties may bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin any actual or threatened infringement of any intellectual property rights or any actual or threatened violation of any confidentiality or non-compete, non-solicitation, non-circumvention provisions of this Agreement.

27.4

Performance to Continue. Each Party shall continue to perform its undisputed obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a Party may suspend performance of its undisputed obligations during any period in which the other Party fails or refuses to perform its undisputed obligations. Nothing in this Section is intended to relieve Buyer from its obligation to make undisputed payments pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement.

27.5

Statute of Limitations. The Parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) shall be tolled while the procedures set forth in Sections are pending. The Parties shall cooperate in taking any actions necessary to
