completing negotiations of the Third Party LOI. The Third Party LOI will contain the following material elements (to the extent such elements apply to the deal reflected in the Third Party LOI): ***. Pfizer will treat the Third Party LOI as the confidential information of Lpath and such Third Party. Pfizer will have *** days after receipt of the Third Party LOI to notify Lpath whether it wishes to enter into a new agreement with Lpath in accordance with all of the material terms and conditions of the Third Party LOI (the “New Agreement”). “ROFR Term” means the period from the Execution Date to the later of: (i) the ***, or (ii) *** months after the Execution Date.

If Pfizer notifies Lpath that it intends to enter into the New Agreement, Lpath agrees (i) to provide to Pfizer additional due diligence information and data customary for agreements of this type, and (ii) to negotiate a new license, co-marketing or co-development agreement, as applicable, with Pfizer in good faith in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Third Party LOI.

If Pfizer declines to enter into the New Agreement, or if Pfizer does not notify Lpath within the *** days period described above that Pfizer wishes to enter into the New Agreement, Lpath may enter into an agreement with the third party for such other indication on the same material terms and conditions contained in the Third Party LOI. If Lpath does not enter into an agreement with the Third Party on the same material terms and conditions contained in the Third Party LOI, Pfizer’s rights under this Section 3.4(b) will remain in force until the end of the ROFR Term.

(c) Right to Review New Data. During the period from the Execution Date until the *** of the Execution Date, (i) so long as Lpath has not entered into an agreement granting or conveying rights to a Third Party to develop or commercialize Licensed Products outside the Field, Lpath shall provide periodic updates regarding the general status of development of Licensed Products outside the Field, together with a summary of relevant data, and (ii) in the event that Lpath completes any clinical trial of a Licensed Product outside the Field without having first entered into an agreement obligating Lpath to license or convey rights to a Third Party to develop and/or commercialize such Licensed Product outside the Field, then Lpath shall not enter into any agreement obligating Lpath to license or convey such rights to any Third Party that has had the opportunity to review the data or results of such clinical trial until *** days after Lpath provides the same data or results to Pfizer for review.

(a) Pfizer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop, obtain Regulatory Approval for and Launch a Licensed Product in ***.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Pfizer will be relieved of all diligence obligations under Section 5.8(a) to the extent that:

(i) Pfizer or Lpath receives or generates any safety, tolerability or other data reasonably indicating, as measured by Pfizer’s safety and efficacy evaluation criteria and methodology, or signaling that a Licensed Product has or would have an unacceptable risk-benefit profile for use in the Field or is otherwise not reasonably suitable for initiation or continuation of clinical studies in the Field;

(ii) Pfizer or Lpath receive any notice, information or correspondence from any applicable Regulatory Authority or any applicable Regulatory Authority takes any action that reasonably indicates that a Licensed Product is unlikely to receive Regulatory Approval in the Field.

(c) Pfizer’s achievement of the Event Milestone relating to the *** as set forth in Section 6.1, entitling Lpath to receive the corresponding Event Milestone Payment, will be conclusive evidence that Pfizer has satisfied all diligence obligations under Section 5.8(a) up to the date that such Event Milestone is achieved. In addition, Pfizer’s achievement of the Event Milestones relating to the *** as set forth in Section 6.1, entitling Lpath to receive the corresponding Event Milestone Payments, will be conclusive evidence that Pfizer has satisfied all diligence obligations under Section 5.8(a);

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

(d) If Lpath is aware, becomes aware or reasonably should be aware of facts that might form a reasonable basis to allege that Pfizer has failed to meet any of its obligations under Section 5.8(a), then Lpath will promptly notify Pfizer in writing of such potential alleged performance failure (each such potential alleged performance failure, a “Diligence Issue”). Promptly upon Pfizer’s receipt of any notice of a Diligence Issue pursuant to this Section 5.8(d), the Pfizer Alliance Manager will contact the Lpath Alliance Manager to discuss the specific nature of such Diligence Issue and seek to identify an appropriate corrective course of action. If, no later than *** days after Pfizer’s receipt of such a notice, (a) the Parties have not reached consensus regarding whether Pfizer has failed to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 5.8(a), and (b) the Parties’ respective Alliance Managers have not agreed upon an appropriate corrective course of action for such Diligence Issue, then such Diligence Issue will be escalated and resolved by a Vice President of Pfizer (or his or her designee who shall have appropriate decision-making authority) and the Chief Executive Officer of Lpath (or his or her designee who shall have appropriate decision-making authority). If Lpath fails to notify Pfizer of a Diligence Issue pursuant to this Section 5.8(d) within *** days after the date that Lpath first discovers, or based on the information provided by Pfizer reasonably should have discovered, such Diligence Issue, then Pfizer will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under Section 5.8(a) with respect to such Diligence Issue.

(e) If Pfizer materially breaches its obligations under Section 5.8(a) and fails to remedy such breach within *** days of Pfizer’s receipt of notice of such breach from Lpath, then Lpath may, in its sole discretion, elect to either ***. Lpath acknowledges and agrees that the elections set forth in this Section 5.8(e): (i) have been negotiated by the Parties to fully address any harm that Lpath may incur as a result of Pfizer’s material breach of Pfizer’s obligations under Section 5.8(a); and (ii) constitute Lpath’s sole and exclusive remedies with respect to any breach by Pfizer of Pfizer’s obligations under Section 5.8(a), and Pfizer acknowledges and agrees that this sentence shall not be construed to limit or preclude such recoveries or other remedies to which Lpath may be entitled at law or equity with respect to breaches of this Agreement by Pfizer other than material breach of Pfizer’s obligations under Section 5.8(a).

(f) If Pfizer makes a formal decision to discontinue all development and commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field for the Major Market Countries, or in fact discontinues development and commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field for the Major Market Countries (and does not intend to resume such material activities within *** months after such discontinuation), Pfizer agrees to notify Lpath in writing within *** days of such formal decision or discontinuation in fact.

(b) Each of the Event Milestone Payments described in the table above shall be paid upon achievement of the corresponding Milestone Event with respect to any Licensed Product in the Field, but (i) each Event Milestone Payment shall be payable only on the first occurrence of the corresponding Event Milestone; (ii) none of the Event Milestone Payments shall be payable more than once regardless of the number of Licensed Products that are developed and/or commercialized in the Field; (iii) should a Licensed Product be replaced or succeeded by another Licensed Product, no additional Event Milestone Payments shall be due for Event Milestones already met (and the corresponding Event Milestone Payment paid) with respect to any other Licensed Product. For the avoidance of doubt, clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, the events described in items *** set forth in the foregoing table with respect to various Milestone Events associated with *** shall each be deemed separate Milestone Events, and the corresponding payments shall be deemed separate Event Milestone Payments.

6.2 Sales Milestone Payments.

In addition to the Event Milestone Payments, in consideration of the rights granted hereunder, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Pfizer shall pay to Lpath the following one-time payments (each, a “Sales Milestone Payment”) when aggregate Net Sales in a Pfizer Year of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory first reach the respective thresholds indicated below:

Pfizer shall make any Sales Milestone Payment payable with respect to a Pfizer Year within sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar year that most nearly coincides with the applicable Pfizer Year, and such payment shall be accompanied by a report identifying the Licensed Products, the relevant countries, Net Sales of each Licensed Product for each such country, and the amount payable to Lpath. All such reports shall be kept confidential by Lpath and not disclosed to any other Person, other than Lpath’s accountants which shall be obligated to keep such information confidential, and such information and reports shall only be used for purposes of this Agreement.

6.3 Royalty Payments.

In addition to the payments under Sections 6.1 and 6.2, in consideration of the rights granted hereunder, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Pfizer shall pay to Lpath, with respect to each Licensed Product in the Field, an amount equal to:

(a)***% of Net Sales for the portion of Net Sales of such Licensed Product in the Field in a Pfizer Year in the Territory below or equal to *** U.S. Dollars (US $ ***); plus

(b)***% of Net Sales for the portion of Net Sales in a Pfizer Year of such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory greater than *** U.S. Dollars (US $ ***) and less than or equal to *** U.S. Dollars (US $ ***); plus

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

(c)***% of Net Sales for the portion of Net Sales in a Pfizer Year of such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory greater than *** U.S. Dollars (US $ ***) and less than or equal to *** U.S. Dollars (US $ ***); plus

(d)***% of Net Sales for the portion of Net Sales in a Pfizer Year of such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory greater than *** U.S. Dollars (US $ ***) and less than or equal to *** U.S. Dollars (US $ ***); plus

(e)***% of Net Sales for the portion of the Net Sales in a Pfizer Year of such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory in excess of *** U.S. Dollars (US $ ***).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Net Sales based on sales of a Licensed Product in the Field in any country in the Territory, any payments owed with respect to such Licensed Product for such country pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be reduced by *** for the remainder of the applicable Royalty Term, if at any time the following events occur or are in existence: (x) there is no Valid Claim covering the composition, sale or use of such Licensed Product in such country, or (y) Generic Market Share in such country for *** consecutive months is equal to or greater than *** (in which event, the applicable royalty reduction hereunder will apply retroactively to with respect to Net Sales of the applicable Licensed Product(s) for such ***, and Pfizer may offset any overpayment of royalties previously made for such *** that is attributable to such retroactive reduction against future royalty payments hereunder; provided, however, that future royalty payments with respect to any given Pfizer *** shall not be so reduced to recoup such overpayment to an amount that is less than *** of the royalty amounts that would otherwise be due with respect to such Pfizer ***). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the combined royalty reduction for any Licensed Product in the Field in any country resulting from clauses (x) and (y) in the preceding sentence shall be subject to a maximum reduction of ***% of the royalty amounts indicated in clauses (a) through (e) above, and in no case shall the total net royalty percentage by reason of such reductions resulting from clauses (x) and (y) in the preceding sentence be lower than *** for any Licensed Product in the Field in any country. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the payment of royalties by Pfizer to Lpath for sales in a country in which there is no Valid Claim covering the applicable Licensed Product shall represent consideration for the license to Lpath Technology granted by Lpath to Pfizer in Section 3.2(a).

6.4 Duration of Royalty Payments.

Payment obligations under Section 6.3 shall apply with respect to Net Sales of each Licensed Product in each country in the Territory prior to the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to the applicable Licensed Product in the applicable country; and after the expiration of the applicable Royalty Term, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, Pfizer shall have a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, license in the applicable country, with the right to sublicense, under the Lpath Patent Rights (other than Valid Claims, if any, within the Primary Lpath Patent Rights in such country claiming the composition, use or sale of such Licensed Product in the Field) and the Lpath Technology, to manufacture, develop and commercialize such Licensed Product in the Field in such country.

6.5 Notices of Termination.

In the event that a Party has given the other Party any notice of termination of this Agreement under Section 13, and the right of such Party to terminate pursuant to such notice is not disputed by the other Party, no further payments under Section 6.1 shall become due with respect to Milestone Events achieved following the date of such notice; provided, however, that (i) if termination does not, in fact, occur pursuant to such notice, then any such payments that would otherwise have become due shall be reinstated, and (ii) payments accrued with respect to Milestone Events achieved prior to the date of such notice shall not be affected by this Section 6.5 and shall remain due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 7 ACCOUNTING AND PROCEDURES FOR PAYMENT.

7.1 Inter-Company Sales.

Sales between or among Pfizer, its Affiliates or sublicensees shall not be subject to royalties under Section 6; provided that subsequent resale to a Third Party (which resale is not a sale between or among Pfizer, its Affiliates or sublicensees) shall be subject to royalties under Section 6. Pfizer shall be responsible for the payment of royalties on Net Sales by its Affiliates or sublicensees to Third Parties.

7.2 Currency.

All royalty payments shall be computed and paid in United States dollars. For the purposes of determining the amount of any Sales Milestone Payments or royalties due for the relevant Pfizer Quarter, the amount of Net Sales in any foreign currency shall be converted into United States dollars in a manner consistent with Pfizer’s customary practices used to prepare its audited financial reports. No more than once per year, and from time to time, upon request of Lpath, Pfizer shall provide an explanation of such customary practices of Pfizer with respect to conversion of foreign currency amounts into United States dollars that are used in connection with amounts under this Agreement.

7.3 Royalty Payments.

(a) Pfizer shall make royalty payments to Lpath with respect to each Pfizer Quarter within sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar quarter that most nearly coincides with the applicable Pfizer Quarter, and each payment shall be accompanied by a report identifying the Licensed Product, each applicable country, Net Sales for each such country, and the amount payable to Lpath, as well as the computation thereof. Said reports shall be kept confidential by Lpath and not disclosed to any other Person, other than Lpath’s accountants which shall be obligated to keep such information confidential, and such information and reports shall only be used for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) If Net Sales in any Pfizer Quarter during a given Pfizer Year are less than zero (as a result of returns or recalls of Licensed Product or any other circumstance), then Pfizer will not be obligated to pay Lpath any royalties for such Pfizer Quarter, and for purposes of calculating royalty payments with respect to the fourth Pfizer Quarter of such Pfizer Year, Net Sales for such fourth Pfizer Quarter shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of negative Net Sales in each Pfizer Quarter in which Net Sales are less than zero during the applicable Pfizer Year; provided, however, that Lpath shall not be obligated to make any payments to Pfizer whatsoever with

respect to royalties attributable to negative Net Sales. If, as a result of such reduction, the aggregate Net Sales with respect to such fourth Pfizer Quarter are less than zero, then, for purposes of calculating royalty payments with respect to the first Pfizer Quarter of the next succeeding Pfizer Year, Net Sales for such first Pfizer Quarter shall be reduced by the amount of negative Net Sales in the fourth Pfizer Quarter of the immediately preceding Pfizer Year. Any adjustment for negative Net Sales described in this Section 7.3(b) shall be clearly indicated and shown in the applicable royalty reports provided by Pfizer pursuant to Section 7.3(a).

7.4 Method of Payments.

Each payment hereunder shall be made by electronic transfer in immediately available funds via either a bank wire transfer, an ACH (automated clearing house) mechanism, or any other means of electronic funds transfer, at Pfizer’s election, to a bank account specified by Lpath to Pfizer. Lpath may change such account by written notice at least five (5) Business Days before the payment is due.

7.5 Inspection of Records.

Pfizer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to, keep accurate books and records evidencing gross sales of each Licensed Product, Net Sales of each Licensed Product, including the amounts deducted from gross sales in the calculation of Net Sales from gross sales, any other adjustments or calculations in the determination of royalties payable to Lpath hereunder, and the calculation of amounts payable hereunder for each such Licensed Product, and each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to, keep accurate books and records evidencing documentation and details regarding Shared Costs, Overages, registration toxicology costs described in Section 5.2, clinical supply costs described in Section 5.5, patent costs under Section 8.2 and any other cost or expense payable or reimbursable by one Party to the other hereunder. Each Party shall permit the other Party, by independent certified public accountants employed by the examining Party and reasonably acceptable to the Party being examined, to examine such books and records at any reasonable time, upon reasonable notice, but not later than *** years following the end of the calendar year to which such books and records relate. The foregoing right of examination may be exercised only once by each Party during each *** -month period of the Term. The Party being examined may require such accountants to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement, and in no event shall such accountants disclose to the examining Party any information, other than such as relates to the accuracy of the corresponding books and records and corresponding payment, and compliance with payment obligations hereunder. The opinion of said independent accountants regarding such reports and related payments shall be binding on the Parties, other than in the case of manifest error. The examining Party shall bear the cost of any such examination and review; provided that (a) in the case where the examining Party is the recipient of the relevant payments, if the examination shows an underpayment of any amount of more than *** of the amount due for the applicable period, or (b) in the case where the examining Party is the payer of the relevant payment, if the examination shows an overpayment of any amount of more than *** of the amount due for the applicable period, then in either case the Party being examined shall promptly reimburse the examining Party for the costs of such independent certified public accountants incurred in connection with such examination. If the examination reveals that a Party underpaid any amount hereunder, such Party shall promptly pay to the other Party the

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

amount of any such underpayment revealed by an examination. If the examination reveals that a Party overpaid any amount hereunder, such Party shall be entitled to a full credit for any such overpayment revealed by an examination against any future payment from the overpaying Party to the other Party, but if no future payment will become payable hereunder, the other Party shall promptly pay to the overpaying Party the amount of such overpayment.

7.6 Tax Matters.

(a) VAT. It is understood and agreed between the Parties that any payments made by Pfizer under this Agreement are inclusive of any value added or similar tax imposed upon such payments and any payments made by Lpath to Pfizer under this Agreement are exclusive of any value added or similar tax imposed upon such payments.

(b) Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate and produce on a timely basis any tax forms or reports, including an IRS Form W-8BEN if applicable, reasonably requested by the other Party in connection with any payment made by one Party to the other under this Agreement. Each Party further agrees to provide reasonable cooperation to the other Party, at the other Party’s expense, in connection with any official or unofficial tax audit or contest relating to payments made by Pfizer to Lpath under this Agreement.

(c) Withholding Tax Matters. In addition, in the event any of the payments made by Pfizer pursuant to Section 6 become subject to withholding taxes under the Laws of any jurisdiction, Pfizer shall deduct and withhold the amount of such taxes for the account of Lpath to the extent required by Law, such payment to Lpath shall be reduced by the amount of taxes deducted and withheld, and Pfizer shall pay the amount of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Lpath an official tax certificate or other evidence of such tax obligations, together with proof of payment from the relevant Governmental Authority of all amounts deducted and withheld sufficient to enable Lpath to claim such payment of taxes. Any such withholding taxes required under applicable Law to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, Lpath. Pfizer will provide Lpath with reasonable assistance, at Lpath’s expense, to enable Lpath to recover such taxes as permitted by Law.

Section 8 PATENTS AND INFRINGEMENT.

8.1 Prosecution and Maintenance of Primary Lpath Patent Rights.

From the Execution Date, Pfizer shall have the sole right to control the prosecution and maintenance of all Primary Lpath Patent Rights (including without limitation the ***, using patent counsel reasonably acceptable to Lpath. Pfizer shall keep Lpath reasonably informed of the course of the prosecution and maintenance of Primary Lpath Patent Rights and (ii) reasonably consider Lpath’s comments regarding such matters, and (iii) reasonably endeavor to undertake all suggestions by Lpath that are not unreasonable. Until expiration of Pfizer’s Expansion Rights, Lpath shall keep Pfizer reasonably informed of the course of the prosecution and maintenance of patents and patent applications Controlled by Lpath as of the Execution Date or at any time during the Term relating to any Licensed Product outside the Field and Lpath shall reasonably consider Pfizer’s comments. In the event that Pfizer does not obtain a license for Licensed Products outside the Field through the Expansion Rights, Lpath shall thereafter keep

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

Pfizer reasonably informed with respect to such patents and patent applications other than those having applicability solely outside the Field.

8.2 Patent Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance Costs of the Primary Lpath Patent Rights.

(a) Pfizer shall be responsible for and shall pay *** patent expenses incurred after the Execution Date for prosecution and maintenance of the Primary Lpath Patent Rights in the Field; provided, however, that if at any time Lpath grants a Commercial License outside the Field under any Primary Lpath Patent Right that is applicable both inside and outside the Field to any Third Party (an “Out-of-Field Licensee”) or Lpath itself Launches a Licensed Product outside the Field (“Lpath Launch”), Pfizer shall thereafter be responsible for ***% of the expenses incurred after the effective date of such Commercial License or Lpath Launch for prosecution and maintenance of such Primary Lpath Patent Right. As used herein, “Commercial License” means a license to make and sell commercial quantities of Licensed Products outside the Field, or an exclusive right to market and distribute Licensed Products outside the Field in one or more given countries; provided, however, that a license to manufacture Licensed Products for supply to Lpath or a licensee of Lpath which license does not permit resale to the public generally shall not be deemed a Commercial License. As between Lpath and Pfizer, Lpath shall be responsible for and shall pay all patent expenses for prosecution and maintenance of patents that are primarily related to Licensed Products outside the Field (including related formulation patents). With respect to Primary Lpath Patent Rights for which Pfizer controls prosecution as described above, Pfizer agrees to use reasonable efforts to file divisional applications for the purpose of segregating those claims that are primarily related to the Licensed Products outside the Field into separate patent applications for which, as described in the preceding sentence, Lpath may (as between the Parties) control prosecution and maintenance. In the event that Pfizer obtains an option or license for Licensed Products outside the Field, the Parties shall agree upon appropriate treatment of patent costs for patents outside the Field at that time.

(b) At any time during the Term, Pfizer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cease prosecuting and maintaining any Primary Lpath Patent Right and paying expenses therefore under this Section 8, on a country-by-country, application-by-application or patent-by-patent basis. If Pfizer decides to cease prosecuting, maintaining and paying expenses under this Section 8 with respect to a patent application or issued patent within the Primary Lpath Patent Rights, ***, and Lpath shall thereafter be free, in its discretion, to undertake responsibility for prosecution and maintenance with respect to such Primary Lpath Patent Right, at Lpath’s expense.

8.3 Prosecution and Maintenance of Secondary Lpath Patent Rights.

Lpath shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to control the prosecution and maintenance of all Secondary Lpath Patent Rights at Lpath’s sole expense. Lpath shall keep Pfizer reasonably informed of the course of the prosecution and maintenance of Secondary Lpath Patent Rights.

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

8.4 Restrictions on Transfer.

During the Term, Lpath shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates not to, sell, assign or otherwise transfer to any Person (i) any Primary Lpath Patent Rights that are registered in the name of or Controlled by Lpath or any of its Affiliates, (ii) Lpath’s rights in any proprietary Lpath Technology directly related to Licensed Product in the Field that is licensed to Pfizer hereunder, or (iii) a controlling interest in the capital stock or securities of (A) any Affiliates of Lpath or (B) any Affiliate (other than Lpath) of any direct or indirect parent holding company of Lpath where, in the case of any such Affiliate described in this clause (iii), such Affiliate Controls Primary Lpath Patent Rights or rights in any proprietary Lpath Technology directly related to Licensed Product in the Field that is licensed to Pfizer hereunder (any such Affiliate, an “IP Subsidiary”), in each case except to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Lpath related to Licensed Products and that either accepts assignment of this Agreement or acknowledges in writing that it takes Lpath Patent Rights and/or rights in such Lpath Technology subject to Pfizer’s rights, licenses and option hereunder. This Section 8.3 shall not be construed to restrict or prohibit Lpath or its Affiliates from manufacturing, developing or commercializing or otherwise exploiting Licensed Products outside the Field, or from granting licenses to Third Parties to do so. For purposes of this Section 8.3, a merger of Lpath with a Third Party or an acquisition of Lpath by a Third Party shall be deemed not to be a sale, license assignment or other transfer of Primary Lpath Patent Rights or Lpath Technology to any Person.

8.5 Notices and Encumbrances.

Lpath agrees that it will, and will cause its Affiliates to, execute and file those notices and other filings as Pfizer shall request be made, from time to time with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (or any successor agency) or any analogous patent office in the Territory with respect to, and to the extent consistent with, the rights granted to Pfizer under this Agreement. During the Term, Lpath agrees that it will not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, convey any mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests, charges, encumbrances or other similar restrictions in or to the Primary Lpath Patent Rights that conflict with the licenses, rights and option granted to Pfizer hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be construed to restrict or prohibit Lpath or its Affiliates from manufacturing, developing or commercializing or otherwise exploiting Licensed Products outside the Field, or from granting licenses to Third Parties to do so.

8.6 Patent Term Extensions.

After the License Effective Date, Pfizer shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to seek, in Lpath’s name if so required, patent term extensions, and supplemental protection certificates and the like available under Law, including 35 U.S.C. § 156 and applicable foreign counterparts, in any country in the Territory in relation to the Primary Lpath Patent Rights. Lpath and Pfizer shall cooperate in connection with all such activities, and Pfizer, its agents and attorneys will give due consideration to all suggestions and comments of Lpath regarding any such activities, but in the event of a disagreement between the Parties, Pfizer will have the final decision-making authority. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the License Effective Date, Pfizer shall have the sole right, at its sole discretion, to elect which patent within the Primary Lpath Patent Rights to extend under any Law, including 35 U.S.C. § 156 and applicable foreign counterparts, in any country in the Territory, with respect to Licensed Products. Lpath shall not apply for an extension under any Law, including 35 U.S.C. § 156 and applicable foreign counterparts, in any country in the Territory, of any patent Controlled by

Lpath that is related to any Licensed Product either inside or outside the Field, without obtaining Pfizer’s prior, written consent. On request of Lpath or its licensee with respect to Licensed Products outside the Field, Pfizer shall reasonably discuss possible application for such extensions with respect to Licensed Products outside the Field and/or, if permitted under applicable Law, filing for such patent extensions in a given county with respect to Licensed Products outside the Field.

8.7 Interpretation of Patent Judgments.

If any claim within the Lpath Patent Rights becomes the subject of a judgment, decree or decision of a court, tribunal, or other authority of competent jurisdiction in any country, which judgment, decree, or decision is or becomes final (there being no further right of appeal or review) and adjudicates the validity, enforceability, scope, or infringement of the same, the construction of such claim in such judgment, decree or decision shall be followed thereafter in such country not only as to such claim but also as to all other claims in such country to which such construction reasonably applies, in determining whether there are any Valid Claims in such country. If at any time there are two or more conflicting final judgments, decrees, or decisions with respect to the same claim, the decision of the higher tribunal shall thereafter control, but if the tribunal be of equal rank, then the final judgment, decree, or decision more favorable to such claim shall control unless and until the majority of such tribunals of equal rank adopt or follow a less favorable final judgment, decree, or decision, in which event the latter shall control for so long as a majority of such tribunals of equal rank adopt or follow such less favorable judgment, decree or decision.

8.8 Third Party Royalty Obligations.

Subject to the following sentences, Pfizer shall be responsible for payment of all royalties due to Third Parties for the manufacture, development, use or sale of any Licensed Product in the Field in any country in the Territory by or under authority of Pfizer after the License Effective Date, including any royalty payments under existing licensing and other intellectual property agreements of Lpath existing as of the Execution Date (the “Existing Lpath Agreements”). The amount of Pfizer’s royalty payments under Section 6.3 with respect to Net Sales for such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced by *** percent (***%) of any amounts payable by Pfizer to such Third Parties under the Existing Lpath Agreements. In addition, if Pfizer (a) reasonably determines in good faith that, in order to avoid infringement of any patent not licensed hereunder, it is reasonably necessary to obtain a license from a Third Party in order to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, supply, cause to be supplied, or import a Licensed Product in a country in the Territory and to pay a royalty or other consideration under such license (including in connection with the settlement of a patent infringement claim), or (b) shall be subject to a final court or other binding order or ruling requiring any payments, including the payment of a royalty to a Third Party patent holder in respect of sales of any Licensed Product in a country in the Territory, then the amount of Pfizer’s royalty payments under Section 6.3 with respect to Net Sales for such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced by *** percent (***%) of any amounts payable by Pfizer to such Third Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the combined royalty reduction for any Licensed Product in the Field in any country pursuant to the preceding sentences in this Section 8.8 shall be subject to a maximum reduction of ***% of the royalty amounts indicated in clauses (a) through (e) in Section 6.3, and in no case shall the

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

total net royalty percentage by reason of the preceding sentences in this Section 8.8 be lower than *** percent (***%) for any Licensed Product in the Field in any country. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that both an offset for Third Party royalties as described in the preceding sentences in this Section 8.8 and a reduction the last paragraph of Section 6.3 apply with respect to royalties otherwise due for sale of a given Licensed Product in a country, (i) the offset for Third Party royalties described in the preceding sentences in this Section 8.8 shall be applied first in determining royalties due and (ii) the total net royalty percentage payable under Section 6.3 shall not in any event be reduced to less than *** percent (***%) by reason of the preceding sentences in this Section 8.8 and the last paragraph of Section 6.3 together.

8.9 Third Party Infringement.

(a) Notice. A Party will promptly notify the other in the event it becomes aware of any actual, potential, or suspected infringement of a patent under the Primary Lpath Patent Rights by any Third Party.

(b) Discussion Prior to Enforcement of Primary Lpath Patent Rights. Prior to filing a complaint or initiating other legal action against an alleged infringer to enforce one or more claims of a patent within the Primary Lpath Patent Rights (“Infringement Action”) the Parties shall discuss the advisability of undertaking such an Infringement Action, including consideration of concerns either Party may have with respect to the potential effects of such Infringement Action and with respect to the potential impact on the Primary Lpath Patent Rights and with respect to the commercial rights for Licensed Products both in and out of the Field. The Parties acknowledge that such discussion is intended only to serve as a means to discuss concerns in an advisory manner, and shall not override any right of a Party to initiate or control such an Infringement Action as set forth below once such opportunity for discussion has been provided. The Parties agree to undertake similar discussions with respect to any declaratory judgment action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability and/or validity of any claims contained in a patent within the Primary Lpath Patent Rights promptly after becoming aware of such action or proceeding. If the claims at issue have applicability both inside and outside the Field, the Out-of-Field Licensees, if any, shall have the right to participate in any such enforcement or defense discussions between the Parties, and Lpath agrees that it shall require any Out-of-Field Licensee to include Pfizer in any discussions between Lpath and such Out-of-Field Licensee with respect to legal actions by such Out-of-Field Licensee to enforce any Primary Lpath Patent Right to xxxxx infringement of a patent within the Primary Lpath Patent Rights outside of the Field.

(c) Enforcement of Primary Lpath Patent Rights Before License Effective Date. During the Term until the License Effective Date, *** shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute and control an Infringement Action within the Primary Lpath Patent Rights, provided that *** shall not initiate any such Infringement Action unless *** first consents in writing. Any such Infringement Actions undertaken by *** shall be at ***’s expense, and *** shall be entitled to retain any recovery resulting from any such action. *** shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in and assist *** as ***, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, and *** agrees to consider any reasonable input provided by ***. *** shall have the right to assume control of any Infringement Action that was initiated by *** prior to the

License Effective Date, but which Infringement Action is ongoing after the License Effective Date.

(d) Enforcement of Primary Lpath Patent Rights After the License Effective Date. After the License Effective Date, the following shall apply:

(i) For purposes of this Section 8.9(d): (A) allegedly infringing activities that only involve the marketing or selling of pharmaceutical products for indications within the Field, and/or the conduct of clinical trials for an indication within the Field, and/or the filing of an application for Regulatory Approval of pharmaceutical products for indications within the Field, and/or the import or manufacture of products solely for such purposes, shall be “allegedly infringing activities that are within the *** Enforcement Zone (“***”) (B) allegedly infringing activities that only involve the marketing or selling of pharmaceutical products for indications outside of the Field, and/or the conduct of clinical trials for an indication outside the Field, and/or the filing of an application for Regulatory Approval of pharmaceutical products for indications outside the Field, and/or the import or manufacture of products solely for such purposes, shall be “allegedly infringing activities that are within the *** Enforcement Zone (“***”); (C) allegedly infringing activities that involve the marketing or selling of pharmaceutical products, and/or the conduct of clinical trials, and/or the filing of an application for Regulatory Approval of pharmaceutical products, and/or the import or manufacture of products for such purposes, where one or more of the foregoing is for an indication within the Field and one or more is for an indication outside the Field, shall be “allegedly infringing activities that are both in and out of the Field” and shall be included within the ***; and (D) the manufacture, use, import, sale or marketing of a product that is not for pharmaceutical use, or that cannot reasonably be determined to be for a given indication, including without limitation the manufacture of infringing products by a Person that sells such product to non-affiliated third parties without restriction on the use of such product by the purchaser, shall be “allegedly infringing activities that are both in and out of the Field” and shall be included within the ***.

(ii) Infringements Within the *** Enforcement Zone (“***”). With respect to allegedly infringing activities that are solely within the ***, as described in Section (i) above, the following shall apply:

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

(A) Pfizer shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute and thereafter control, an Infringement Action with respect to the Primary Lpath Patent Rights, or to take such other action as Pfizer deems reasonable in the circumstances, in order to xxxxx such infringing activities. If Pfizer intends to initiate an Infringement Action, Pfizer will notify the Out-of-Field Licensee or Lpath, as applicable, and the Out-of-Field Licensee or Lpath may elect to pay for *** percent (***%) of any expenses related to the Infringement Action. If the Out-of-Field Licensee or Lpath elects not to pay *** percent (***%) of such expenses, any Infringement Action undertaken by Pfizer pursuant to this Section 8.9(d)(i)(A) shall be at Pfizer’s expense. If Pfizer bears all costs, Lpath agrees to reasonably cooperate, as Pfizer may from time to time request and at Pfizer’s expense, in connection with such an Infringement Action, including timely commencing or joining such Infringement Action if Lpath is a necessary or indispensible party or if Lpath’s joinder is necessary to establish standing. Pfizer agrees to consider any reasonable input provided by Lpath or any Out-of-Field Licensees. Lpath shall contractually obligate any Out-of-Field Licensee to timely commence or join in any such Infringement Action, at Pfizer’s expense, if such Out-of-Field Licensee is a necessary or indispensible party or if such Out-of-Field Licensee’s joinder is necessary to establish standing.

If Pfizer pays all of the costs of the Infringement Action, Pfizer will keep all recoveries. If the Out-of-Field Licensee or Lpath elects to pay for *** percent (***%) of all costs of the Infringement Action, recoveries from such an Infringement Action would be allocated as follows (referred to herein as the “Recovery Allocation”): recoveries shall be used first to reimburse the party or parties that have paid for the Infringement Action for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses of bringing or maintaining such Infringement Action (including amounts paid by a party with respect to expenses of the other parties) and any remainder shall be allocated as follows: ***.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 9.1(c) or 9.2, or this Section 9.3, (A) neither Party may make any public statement (written or oral), including in analyst meetings, concerning the terms of this Agreement, (B) Lpath may not make any public statement (written or oral), including in analyst meetings, concerning any Licensed Product in the Field, and (C) Pfizer may not make any public statement (written or oral), including in analyst meetings, concerning any Licensed Product outside the Field, except in each case where such statement: (i) is required by Law or legal proceedings, or applicable rule of a public stock exchange, (ii) is required to be contained in such Party’s financial statements prepared in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles in the United States, (iii) has been announced previously in accordance with this Section 9.3, or (iv) has been announced previously by the other Party, so long as, in the case of (iii) or (iv) such public statement is consistent with such previously announced statement. In the case of any public statement (written or oral) that is required by Law or legal proceedings, or applicable rule of a public stock exchange, Lpath shall (x) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain confidential treatment of financial and trade secret information, and (y) if reasonably practicable under the circumstances, give Pfizer sufficient advance notice of the text so that Pfizer will have the opportunity to comment upon the statement, and give due consideration to any such comments in the final statement.

other Party’s approval to make a press release regarding other matters, it will give the other Party (the “Cooperating Party”) through its JDC representatives (or such other representatives as the Cooperating Party may designate), a draft version of such press release for review and comment by the Cooperating Party at least *** Business Days prior to public disclosure thereof, unless earlier disclosure is required by Law or the applicable rules of a public stock exchange, in which event the draft press release shall be provided for review as much in advance of disclosure as reasonably practicable under the circumstances. If Lpath is the Requesting Party, Lpath agrees to incorporate all changes timely requested by Pfizer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to require Lpath to incorporate changes that Lpath reasonably believes would make the disclosure false or misleading or omit a material disclosure that Lpath is required to make under Law or applicable rules of a public stock exchanger. If Pfizer is the Requesting Party, Pfizer agrees to consider all reasonable changes requested by Lpath.

9.4 Filing, Registration or Notification of the Agreement.

If a Party determines that it is required by Law, or applicable rule of a national stock exchange, to publicly file, register or notify this Agreement with a Governmental Authority, (i) such Party (the “Filing Party”) shall give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure requirement, (ii) the Parties shall consult with one another concerning which terms of this Agreement will be requested to be redacted, and the Filing Party shall allow the other Party an opportunity to review and comment upon the redacted version of this Agreement proposed to be filed and shall reasonably incorporate proposed changes requested by the other Party (the resulting redacted version of the Agreement referred to as the “Redacted Agreement”), provided that the first version of the Agreement submitted for redaction will, at a minimum, not include financial terms or other sensitive business terms (e.g. *** ), (iii) request, and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain, confidential treatment of all terms redacted from this Agreement, as reflected in the Redacted Agreement, for a period of at least *** years, (iii) permit the other Party to review and approve such request for confidential treatment and any subsequent correspondence with respect thereto at least *** Business Days prior to its submission to such Governmental Authority, (iv) promptly deliver to the other Party any material written correspondence received by it or its representatives from such Governmental Authority with respect to such confidential treatment request and promptly advise the other Party of any other material communications between it or its representatives with such Governmental Authority with respect to such confidential treatment request, (v) upon the written request of the other Party, reasonably cooperate to request an appropriate extension of the term of the confidential treatment period, and (vi) if such Governmental Authority requests any changes to the redactions set forth in the Redacted Agreement, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to support the redactions in the Redacted Agreement as originally filed and to discuss any changes to the Redacted Agreement with the other Party before agreeing to such changes and taking the other Party’s comments into consideration when deciding whether to agree to such changes. Each Party shall be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such filing, registration or notification.

(b) Upon any termination of this Agreement after the License Effective Date, other than a termination by Pfizer pursuant to Section 13.2(a), the following shall apply:

(i) Pfizer shall, promptly after such termination (A) transfer to Lpath ownership of all regulatory filings and Regulatory Approvals that relate solely to Licensed Products in the Field; (B) deliver to Lpath all registration toxicology and clinical data and information in Pfizer’s possession or control relating solely to Licensed Products, including for clarity, manufacturing data, if any (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence), in the same form in which Pfizer maintains such data; and (C) deliver to Lpath, in the same form in which Pfizer maintains such items, copies of all reports, records, regulatory correspondence and other materials in Pfizer’s possession or control relating solely to the clinical development of Licensed Products, including, if applicable, any information contained in the global safety database established and maintained by Pfizer; provided that the Parties agree that any good faith failure by Pfizer to provide immaterial data, information, reports, records, correspondence or other materials to Lpath shall not be a breach of Pfizer’s obligations under this Section 13.4(b). To the extent Pfizer is able to grant Lpath sublicenses under Third Party intellectual property rights for the development, manufacture or commercialization of Licensed Products in connection with this Section 13.4(b), Pfizer and Lpath shall, if desired by Lpath, enter into an agreement covering such licenses, and Lpath shall be responsible for all royalties and other amounts payable to such Third Parties with respect to the development, manufacture or commercialization of Licensed Products.

(ii) Pfizer and Lpath will work together to transition responsibility for manufacturing of Licensed Products from Pfizer to Lpath.

If the transition occurs before the completion of *** (the “*** Transition”), Pfizer will provide to Lpath all of its remaining inventory of clinical supplies subject to negotiation of a commercially reasonable supply agreement if Lpath desires such remaining inventory of *** supplies, and in such event Lpath will purchase such inventory of clinical supplies at *** percent (***%) of Pfizer’s costs. Pfizer, in its sole discretion and subject to negotiation of a *** supply agreement with Lpath, may provide additional *** supplies to Lpath. During the *** Transition, Pfizer’s transition team, including representatives from project management, pharmaceutical sciences, drug safety, regulatory and clinical, will participate in *** day meeting with the Lpath team to plan the *** Transition, and thereafter will commit to providing *** hours to facilitate the transfer of the Licensed Product. If Lpath wishes additional support beyond the *** hours, Pfizer

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

will provide such support and Lpath agrees to pay for additional *** hours at a rate of $*** per hour until the completion of such transfer.

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

If the transition occurs after the completion of the final *** or *** of the Licensed Product in any country (“*** Transitions”), Pfizer shall continue to manufacture (in accordance with ***) Licensed Products for supply to Lpath or a Third Party designated by Lpath, upon request of Lpath, for a period of up to *** months, subject to negotiation of a commercially reasonable supply agreement. Lpath will purchase such supplies at *** percent (***%) of Pfizer’s costs. During the *** Transition, Pfizer will provide transition support for up to *** months.

If Licensed Products are manufactured by a Third Party contract manufacturer on behalf of Pfizer, Pfizer will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the manufacturing agreement is assignable upon transfer of the rights related to the Licensed Product. If such agreement is assignable, Pfizer will assign the contract as soon as reasonably practicable. If the supply agreement is not assignable, and Phase III Studies have been completed or the Licensed Product has been Launched in any country, Pfizer will order supplies of the Licensed Product on behalf of Lpath for up to *** months and Lpath will purchase the supplies from Pfizer at *** percent (***%) of Pfizer’s cost.

Promptly following such termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall discuss mutually acceptable procedures for forecasting or purchase order lead times that are reasonable and customary for the manufacture and supply of pharmaceutical products.

(iii) Upon request of Lpath, Pfizer or its Affiliate shall continue the conduct of any On-going Clinical Trials of Licensed Products in the Field for a period of up to *** days, at Pfizer’s expense. Upon mutual agreement of the Parties, Pfizer may continue such clinical trials beyond such *** days period, provided that the Parties agree upon applicable payments and other mutually agreed terms and conditions with respect to such continuation beyond the initial *** day period after the effective date of termination. For purposes of this Section 13.4(b)(iii), a clinical trial of a Licensed Product in the Field shall be an “On-going Clinical Trial” if, as of the effective date of termination, (A) one or more human subject have been enrolled in such clinical trial and (B) such clinical trial (including all collection of data as indicted in the applicable protocol) has not been completed.

(iv) Subject to the limitations above, the Parties shall generally cooperate reasonably and use all reasonable efforts to promptly and expeditiously facilitate the transfer of the manufacture, development (including control and performance of any on-going clinical trials) and commercialization of Licensed Products, and the transfer of related data and information, to Lpath from

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

Pfizer with the goal of completing the transfer of capabilities, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, within *** days after the effective date of such termination.

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

(v) If Pfizer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(b) based upon the reasonable determination that the Licensed Product should not be further developed and commercialized in the Field because the use of the Licensed Product in the Field by patients presents a significant safety risk, Pfizer will not be obligated to revert the program in accordance with this Section 13.4(b). If Pfizer makes such a determination regarding safety, Pfizer will provide Lpath with its safety analysis and discuss the analysis in detail with Lpath.

(c) If this Agreement terminates in its entirety pursuant to Section 13.2 (other than termination by Lpath pursuant to Section 13.2(a)) after the License Effective Date but before the *** anniversary of the Launch in any Major Market Country of a Licensed Product in the Field, Lpath shall pay Pfizer *** percent (***%) of Field-Related Licensing Revenue, when and as received by Lpath, and, if Lpath or any of its Affiliates commercializes Licensed Products in the Field, a ***% royalty on net sales (which would be calculated in the same manner as Net Sales are calculated hereunder, and would be subject to corresponding offsets equivalent in scope to those set forth in the final paragraph of Section 6.3(e) and Section 8.8 but subject to a single combined floor of ***% of net sales) by Lpath and its Affiliates of such Licensed Products in the Field until the cumulative total of such payments by Lpath equals the Termination Repayment Cap Amount. If Lpath is obligated to make payments to Pfizer under this Section, the provisions of Article 7 applicable to Pfizer will apply to Lpath.

(d) Following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2, each of Pfizer and Lpath shall, upon request of the other Party, return or destroy all Lpath Confidential Information and Pfizer Confidential Information, respectively, disclosed to it pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all copies and extracts of documents, as promptly as practicable following receipt of such request, except that one (1) copy may be kept for the purpose of complying with continuing obligations under this Agreement.

(e) In the event that Pfizer is entitled to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(a) for uncured material breach by Lpath, Pfizer may, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to Lpath within *** days following expiration of the applicable cure period set forth in Section 13.2(a), elect to maintain its licenses and rights under this Agreement and forego both the exercise of its rights to so terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(a) and also its rights to obtain, or require Lpath to pay, any damages or other monetary remedy at law attributable to such material breach by Lpath, and lieu thereof may instead offset *** the amount of the damages or monetary recovery to which Pfizer would have otherwise been entitled as a result of such uncured material breach by Lpath against subsequent payments due from Pfizer to Lpath hereunder. In the event that Pfizer so elects Pfizer may offset any amounts agreed to by the parties, and if Lpath and Pfizer cannot agree upon other amounts that may be so offset by Pfizer, the amounts, if any, awarded to Pfizer by a competent court of first impression may be offset by Pfizer. If the decision of the court is appealed by either party, then an unappealed or unappealable judgment against Lpath shall become the conclusive measure of such damages or other monetary recovery. Pfizer agrees to refund the amount of any earlier offset if the unappealable judgment against Lpath is reduced. Pfizer and Lpath acknowledge and agree that the election set forth in this Section 13.4(d): (i) have been negotiated by the Parties to fully address any harm that Pfizer may incur as a result of Lpath’s material breach of Lpath’s

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment filed separately with the Commission.

obligations under this Agreement and compensate Pfizer for foregoing its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(a) for such uncured material breach by Lpath;(ii) constitute Pfizer’s sole and exclusive monetary remedy with respect to any material breach by Lpath of Lpath’s obligations under this Agreement in the event that Pfizer makes such election., and (iii) do not limit Pfizer’s right to seek injunctive remedies for a breach of this Agreement.

13.5 Change of Control.

If there is a Change of Control of Lpath, Lpath shall notify Pfizer promptly, but in no event later than *** Business Days, following approval by Lpath’s board of directors of any transaction that constitutes a Change of Control. Pfizer shall have the right upon *** days’ notice following any such Change of Control to elect that Section 4 shall be deleted, in whole or in part, from this Agreement. If Pfizer makes any election as provided in this Section 13.5 to delete any Section, each of the Parties hereto will enter into an appropriate and customary written amendment and no Party shall have any further obligations with respect to any such deleted Section. For the avoidance of doubt, Pfizer shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to make the elections provided for in this Section 13.5 upon each occurrence of a Change of Control.

13.6 Bankruptcy.

All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Lpath are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that Pfizer, as licensee of intellectual property under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that in the event of a rejection of this Agreement by Lpath in any bankruptcy proceeding by or against Lpath under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (i) Pfizer shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in Pfizer’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it upon Pfizer’s written request therefor and (ii) Lpath shall not interfere with Pfizer’s rights to intellectual property and all embodiments of intellectual property, and shall assist and not interfere with Pfizer in obtaining intellectual property and all embodiments of intellectual property from another entity. The term “embodiments” of intellectual property includes all tangible, intangible, electronic or other embodiments of rights and licenses hereunder, including all compounds and products embodying intellectual property, Licensed Product, filings with Regulatory Authorities and related rights, and Technology.

Pfizer shall not be obligated to so indemnify, defend and hold Lpath harmless to the extent that such Losses are the subject of Lpath’s indemnification obligation under Section 14.1(a) above.

14.2 Losses.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Losses” shall mean any and all costs, expenses, claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, royalties, governmental penalties or punitive damages, deficiencies, interest, settlement amounts, awards, and judgments, including any and all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses properly incurred as a result of a claim of a Third Party (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any litigation or proceeding, commenced or threatened).

14.3 Defense Procedures; Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) If a Third Party (in no event to include any Affiliate of any of the Parties) asserts a claim with respect to any matter for which a party (the “Indemnified Party”) is entitled to indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Party obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to assume direction and control of the defense, litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition of the Third Party Claim (including the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.

(c) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party has given notice to the Indemnified Party of its exercise of its right to defend a Third Party Claim (an “Assumption Notice”), the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of any objection thereto, and may elect, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) Business Days after the Assumption Notice from the Indemnifying Party, to defend such Third Party Claims itself, using counsel of its own choosing, at its own expense. If no such notice is given by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to assume direction and control of such defense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. During such time as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and shall cause its Affiliates and agents to cooperate upon request of the Indemnifying Party, in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim, including by furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to defend any Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after receiving written notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may (without further notice to the Indemnifying Party) undertake the defense thereof with counsel of its choice and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of enforcement or defense). The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to join in (including the right to conduct discovery, interview and examine witnesses and participate in all settlement conferences), but not control, at its own

expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the Indemnified Party is defending as provided in this Agreement.

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement that commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief (provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not, and shall have no authority to, agree upon equitable or other non-monetary relief which binds the Indemnifying Party), but shall not have the right to settle such Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim involves monetary damages without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall not make any admission of liability on behalf of the other in respect of any Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the other party, and the Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate losses arising from the Third Party Claim.

14.4 Disclaimer of Liability for Consequential Damages.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY OR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, SUFFERED BY PFIZER, LPATH OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, EXCEPT (A) TO THE EXTENT OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES PAID TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD PARTY CLAIM WHICH IS SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 14, AND (B) IN THE EVENT OF (AND TO THE EXTENT ATTRIBUTABLE TO) AN INTENTIONAL AND WILLFUL BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR AGREEMENT BY LPATH OR PFIZER (AS THE CASE MAY BE) CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED THAT THIS SECTION SHALL NOT RELIEVE EITHER PARTY FROM ITS PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

PRESS RELEASE

Lpath Grants Pfizer Exclusive Option for Worldwide License for iSONEP

San Diego, December 20, 2010: Lpath, Inc. (OTCBB: LPTN) has entered into an agreement providing Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) with an exclusive option for a worldwide license to develop and commercialize iSONEP™, Lpath’s lead monoclonal antibody product candidate, which is being evaluated for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and other ophthalmology disorders. iSONEP is scheduled to begin a Phase 1b clinical trial in wet AMD patients with Pigment Epithelial Detachment (PED), a complication of wet AMD, in the first quarter of 2011 and a Phase 2a clinical trial in wet AMD patients in the second quarter of 2011.

Generated via Lpath’s proprietary ImmuneY2^TM drug-discovery platform, iSONEP is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds and neutralizes the bioactive lipid, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Targeting S1P is a novel approach to address serious unmet medical needs in wet AMD, a condition that affects millions worldwide. In iSONEP’s completed phase I trial in wet AMD patients, several subjects showed signs of biological activity, including lesion regression and complete resolution of PED.

Under the terms of the agreement, Pfizer will provide Lpath with an upfront option payment of $14 million in addition to sharing the cost of the planned Phase 1b and Phase 2a trials. Following completion of the two studies, Pfizer has the right to exercise its option for worldwide rights to iSONEP for an undisclosed option fee and, if Pfizer exercises its option, Lpath will be eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments that could total up to $497.5 million; in addition, Lpath will be entitled to receive tiered double-digit royalties based on sales of iSONEP. As part of the agreement, Lpath has granted to Pfizer a time-limited right of first refusal for ASONEP™, Lpath’s product candidate that is being evaluated for the treatment of cancer. Two Phase 2a trials are currently planned to further assess ASONEP’s efficacy and safety in cancer patients.

“We have been impressed by Lpath’s innovative approach in targeting bioactive lipids with iSONEP and the potential opportunity to significantly add to current standard of treatment in retinal disease.” said Mikael Dolsten, president of Pfizer Worldwide Research and Development.

“This risk sharing collaboration is led by our External Research Unit, whose mission is to develop high-impact medicines leveraging a virtual R&D model. We look forward to building the External Research Unit’s portfolio through additional innovative

deals with prospective future partners,” added Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx, VP and CSO, External R&D Innovation.

“We are thrilled to partner with Pfizer, a company that has demonstrated a commitment to innovative solutions and partnerships for the development of treatments across a wide spectrum of disease,” says Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, chief executive officer of Lpath. “As we work with the Pfizer team to advance iSONEP through the next stage of clinical development, we expect to further demonstrate the important role that bioactive lipids play in disease processes. Lpath’s unique ability to generate monoclonal antibodies to these targets presents a wealth of potential opportunity for new and innovative medicines over time.”

About iSONEP

iSONEP is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits the function of the S1P ligand (sphingosine-1-phosphate). Growing evidence suggests that the bioactive lipid S1P may contribute to both the early and the late stages of maladaptive retinal remodeling associated with wet AMD. S1P has demonstrated a non-VEGF-dependent pro-angiogenic effect and several other effects not exhibited by VEGF in nonclinical models. Therefore, inhibiting the action of S1P may be a novel and effective therapeutic treatment for wet AMD that may offer significant advantages over exclusively anti-VEGF approaches (or act synergistically with them) to address the complex processes and multiple steps that ultimately lead to vision loss.

About Lpath

San Diego-based Lpath, a therapeutic antibody company, is the category leader in lipidomics-based therapeutics, an emerging field of medicine that targets bioactive signaling lipids for treating a wide range of human disease. Lpath’s ImmuneY2™ drug-discovery engine has the unique ability to generate therapeutic antibodies that bind to and inhibit bioactive lipids that contribute to disease. The company is advancing three drug candidates, two of which — iSONEP for wet AMD and ASONEP for cancer — have completed Phase 1 clinical trials. For more information, visit xxx.Xxxxx.xxx.

About Forward-Looking Statements

Except for statements of historical fact, the matters discussed in this press release are forward looking and reflect numerous assumptions and involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and may cause actual results to differ materially from stated expectations. For example, there can be no assurance that the agreement between Lpath and Pfizer will continue for any length of time or that the milestones stated in such agreement will be met. In addition, there is no assurance that results will be timely, necessary regulatory approvals will be obtained, the proposed treatments will prove to be safe or effective, or required clinical trials will be ultimately successful. Actual results may also differ substantially from those described in or contemplated by this press release due to risks and uncertainties that exist in our

operations and business environment, including, without limitation, our limited experience in the development of therapeutic drugs, our dependence upon proprietary technology, our history of operating losses and accumulated deficits, our reliance on research grants, current and future competition, and other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date hereof.

PFIZER ANTI-BRIBERY AND ANTI-CORRUPTION PRINCIPLES

Pfizer Corporate Policy # 201 (Lawful and Ethical Behavior) provides that Pfizer colleagues must conduct all Pfizer business in a lawful and ethical manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”). The FCPA prohibits making, promising, or authorizing the making of a corrupt payment or providing anything of value to a government official to induce that official to make any governmental act or decision to assist a company in obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA also prohibits a company or person from using another company or individual to engage in any of the foregoing activities. As a U.S. company, Pfizer must comply with the FCPA and could be held liable as a result of acts committed anywhere in the world by a Pfizer consultant, agent, or representative, or even by a company acting on behalf of Pfizer (“Business Associates”). Therefore, Pfizer requires all of its Business Associates to conduct their Pfizer-related work in accordance with these principles.

Definition of a Government Official

Under Pfizer’s policies, “government official” is broadly interpreted and includes: (i) any elected or appointed government official (e.g., a member of a ministry of health); (ii) any employee or person acting for or on behalf of a government official, agency, or enterprise performing a governmental function; (iii) any political party, officer, employee, or person acting for or on behalf of a political party or candidate for public office; or (iv) an employee or person acting for or on behalf of a public international organization (e.g., the United Nations). “Government” is meant to include all levels and subdivisions of governments (i.e., local, regional, or national and administrative, legislative, or executive). Because this definition of “government official” is so broad, it is likely that Business Associates will interact with a government official in the ordinary course of their business on behalf of Pfizer. For example, doctors employed by state-owned hospitals could be considered “government officials” under Pfizer’s policies.

FCPA, Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Principles

Business Associates may not directly or indirectly make, promise, or authorize the making of a corrupt payment or provide anything of value to any government official to induce that government official to make any governmental act or decision to help Pfizer obtain or retain business. Business Associates may never make a payment to or offer a government official any item or benefit, regardless of value, as an improper inducement for such government official to approve, reimburse, prescribe, or purchase a Pfizer product, to influence the outcome of a clinical trial, or otherwise improperly to benefit Pfizer’s business activities.

Understand and Follow Local Laws

Business Associates need to understand whether local laws, regulations, or operating procedures (including requirements imposed by government entities such as state-owned hospitals or research institutions) impose any limits, restrictions, or disclosure requirements on compensation, financial support, donations, or gifts that may be provided to government officials. Business Associates must take into account and comply with any applicable restrictions in conducting their Pfizer-related activities. If a Business Associate is uncertain as to the meaning or applicability of any identified limits, restrictions, or disclosure requirements with respect to interactions with government officials, that Business Associate should consult with his or her primary Pfizer contact before undertaking their activities.
