Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, Hapbee, at its expense, will be solely responsible for Commercializing the Authorized Product for the Field in the Territory. Hapbee will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the First Commercial Sale in the Territory within six (6) months after the Effective Date; provided, however, that (a) such 6-month period may be extended by written agreement of the Parties; (b) such 6-month period will be extended if, in EMulate’s sole reasonable determination, Hapbee is making substantial progress towards entering into agreements with one or more third parties for the purpose of Commercializing the Authorized Product in the Field in the Territory, and (c) if Hapbee does not achieve the First Commercial Sale in the Territory within such 6-month period (if such period has not been extended), then EMulate will have the right to terminate the licenses granted by EMulate pursuant to Section 2.1 and all rights granted to Hapbee under such licenses and under this Agreement with respect thereto will upon such termination immediately revert to EMulate. EMulate will exercise such right of termination by providing written notice thereof to Hapbee.

5.2 Commercialization Plan. Upon EMulate’s reasonable request, Hapbee will submit to EMulate for review and discussion at the next scheduled JSC meeting a commercialization plan setting forth the goals, strategies, and plans for Hapbee’s prelaunch activities, launch, and subsequent Commercialization of the Authorized Product in the Field in the Territory and the level of anticipated sales force and promotion efforts dedicated to the Authorized Product, together with the budget in connection therewith (the “Commercialization Plan”). Hapbee will conduct all Commercialization activities in accordance with such Commercialization Plan; provided, that, Hapbee may, upon providing notice thereof to EMulate, modify the Commercialization Plan from time to time to the extent that such modification (a) would improve Commercialization of the Authorized Product in the Field in the Territory, (b) would not constitute a breach by Hapbee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or (c) would not limit any of the rights of EMulate under this Agreement or any benefits that EMulate would have otherwise received under this Agreement but for such modification. Hapbee will consult with and provide regular updates to EMulate regarding its Commercialization strategies.

CONFIDENTIAL

5.3 Reports. Hapbee will present written reports to the JSC annually summarizing Hapbee’s significant Commercialization activities with respect to the Authorized Product in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement and including a forecast for the following year’s sales, leases, rentals and subscriptions of or for the Authorized Product in the Territory. Such reports will cover subject matter at a level of detail reasonably sufficient to enable EMulate to determine Hapbee’s compliance with its diligence obligations pursuant to this Article 5.

5.4 Marketing and Promotional Literature. Hapbee will prepare all marketing and promotional literature related to Authorized Product for use in the Territory in accordance with Applicable Laws. All such marketing and promotional literature will be subject to the review and authorization of EMulate. EMulate will provide feedback regarding such literature within five (5) business days following receipt thereof, and failure to provide feedback within such period will be deemed to be authorization thereof. At the request of EMulate, EMulate will be presented and described as the Party who developed and manufactured the Authorized Product in a manner satisfactory to both EMulate and Hapbee on, by way of example, all labels, packaging, packaging inserts, and promotional literature related to the Authorized Product, in each case to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, for example by use of phrases like “powered by EMulate Therapeutics.” Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Hapbee will have the sole right to brand the Authorized Product for Commercialization in any manner consistent with Applicable Laws that Hapbee deems appropriate, including using Hapbee Housemarks and similar trademarks or trade names of any Hapbee Sublicensee.

5.5 Labeling and Patent Rights Marking. Subject to, and in accordance with, Applicable Laws, Hapbee will identify EMulate as the licensor or producer of the Cognate used in the Authorized Product using the EMulate Trademarks designated by EMulate for such use in certain mutually agreed promotional materials for Authorized Product in the Territory where such identification is appropriate, in a manner approved in advance in writing by both Parties, and in accordance with (and subject to) the Trademark License set forth in Section 2.1(b). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and customary in the industry for such products, Hapbee will xxxx all Authorized Product sold, leased or rented in the Territory by Hapbee, its Sublicensees or Distributors with appropriate EMulate Trademarks and patent numbers and the appropriate Hapbee Housemarks and patent numbers. Hapbee may, in its sole discretion, include any Hapbee Housemark on the Authorized Product, and on the labels, packaging, promotional materials, and other materials therefor, subject to Applicable Law.

Article 6

SUPPLY

6.1 Supply and Purchase of the Cognate for the Authorized Product. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Term, EMulate will produce and supply the Cognate for the Authorized Product exclusively to Hapbee or its Sublicensees and Distributors for use in the Field in the Territory, and Hapbee or its Sublicensees and Distributors will purchase exclusively from EMulate, all of Hapbee’s and its Sublicensees’ and Distributors’ requirements of the Cognate used in the Authorized Product for Commercialization use in the Field in the Territory in such quantities as Hapbee will order and EMulate will accept pursuant to and in accordance with a separate commercial supply agreement to be entered into between Hapbee and EMulate (the “Commercial Supply Agreement”). The Parties will negotiate in good faith to enter into the Commercial Supply Agreement on commercially reasonable terms.

CONFIDENTIAL

Article 7

FINANCIAL TERMS

7.1 Upfront Payment. In consideration for the licenses and rights granted to Hapbee under this Agreement with respect to the Cognate designated by and provided to Hapbee pursuant to this Agreement, Hapbee will pay to EMulate, within ten (10) days following the Effective Date, a non-refundable, non-creditable payment in an amount equal to ten thousand US dollars (US$10,000.00) (the “Upfront Amount”). Such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by EMulate.

7.2 Royalty Payments.

(a) Royalty Rate. Subject to this Section 7.2 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, in further consideration for the licenses and rights granted to Hapbee under this Agreement, Hapbee will pay to EMulate, on a Calendar Quarter basis, royalties on the quarterly Net Income from (i) sales, lease or rental of the Authorized Product in the Territory multiplied by a percentage royalty rate equal to twenty percent (20%), and (ii) use of (e.g., subscriptions for) the Authorized Product in the Territory multiplied by a percentage royalty rate equal to twenty percent (20%); provided, that the percentage royalty rate on the first ten million US dollars (US$10,000,000.00) of Net Income from use of (e.g., subscriptions for) Authorized Product will be equal to twenty-five percent (25%).

(b) Royalty Term. Hapbee’s obligation to make royalty payments pursuant to this Section 7.2 will commence upon the Effective Date and will continue throughout the term of this Agreement.

7.3 Taxes. All amounts payable to EMulate will be paid without any reduction or offset for taxes. If any withholding taxes or stamp, VAT, foreign exchange, or other transfer taxes apply to payments payable to EMulate, then Hapbee will pay such taxes directly and will increase the amounts payable to EMulate so that EMulate receives the full amount it would have received if no such taxes applied.

7.4 Expenses Related to Cognate. The amount of all costs and expenses incurred by EMulate for producing the Cognate (e.g., costs of measuring, recording and optimizing such Cognate) will be for the account of Hapbee.

Article 8

PAYMENTS, BOOKS, AND RECORDS

8.1 Payment; Royalty Reports. Royalty payments due by Hapbee to EMulate under Section 7.2 will be calculated and reported for each Calendar Quarter. All royalty payments due under Section 7.2 will be paid within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter and will be accompanied by a report setting forth the Net Income from sales, lease, rental or subscription of or for the Authorized Product by Hapbee and its Sublicensees and Distributors in the Territory in sufficient detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the royalty payment made, including, the number of Authorized Product sold, the Net Income from sales, lease, rental or subscription of or for Authorized Product, the royalties payable, the method used to calculate the royalties, and the exchange rates used. Prior to commencement of Commercialization of Authorized Product, the Parties will agree on the form of royalty report. Hapbee will submit a single report for all Net Income from sales, lease, rental, subscription of or for Authorized Product during a Calendar Quarter, including by Hapbee, its Sublicensees and Distributors, but will separately identify the Net Income and other information applicable to each entity.

CONFIDENTIAL

8.2 Payment Currency; Currency Conversion. All references to dollars and “$” herein will refer to U.S. dollars. All payments hereunder will be payable in U.S. dollars. With respect to conversion of Net Income in any non-U.S. currency to U.S. dollars, such conversion will be at the exchange rate equal to the U.S. dollar conversion rate for such currency as published by The Wall Street Journal, Western U.S. Edition, as published on the last business day of the Calendar Quarter in which the applicable Net Income was invoiced. All payments owed under this Agreement will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by EMulate from time to time for such purpose.

8.3 Taxes.

(a) Taxes on Income. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.3, each Party will be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the Parties under this Agreement.

(b) Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce tax withholding, transfer taxes, or similar obligations with respect to milestone payments, royalty payments, and other payments made by Hapbee to EMulate under this Agreement. To the extent Hapbee is required by Applicable Laws to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to EMulate, Hapbee will pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper governmental authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to EMulate an official tax certificate or other evidence of such payment sufficient to enable EMulate to claim such payment of taxes. EMulate will provide Hapbee any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Hapbee not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty, to the extent legally able to do so. EMulate will use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to Hapbee in advance of the due date; provided, that EMulate may direct Hapbee to temporarily hold a payment otherwise payable in order to avoid withholding taxes if EMulate is waiting for a required tax form to be issued by a governmental authority. Hapbee will provide EMulate with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes, transfer taxes, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of EMulate. Each Party agrees to assist the other Party in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted.

(c) Taxes Resulting From a Party’s Action. If a Party takes any action, including any assignment, sublicense, change of place of incorporation, or failure to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements, which results in a withholding or deduction obligation or a transfer tax (“Withholding Tax Action”), then such Party will pay the sum associated with such Withholding Tax Action. For clarity, if Hapbee undertakes a Withholding Tax Action, then the sum payable by Hapbee (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that EMulate receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such Withholding Tax Action occurred. Otherwise, the sum payable by Hapbee (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) will be made to EMulate after deduction of the amount required to be so withheld or deducted. If a change in Applicable Laws results in a withholding or deduction obligation absent either Party taking a Withholding Tax Action, then the amount of such withholding or deduction obligation will be paid by Hapbee to the applicable governmental authority on behalf of EMulate in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3(b). The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to invoke the application of any applicable bilateral income tax treaty that would reduce or eliminate otherwise applicable taxes with respect to payments payable pursuant to this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL

8.4 Records. Hapbee will keep, and require its Sublicensees and Distributors to keep, complete, true, and accurate books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable to EMulate pursuant to this Agreement. Such books and records will be kept for such period of time required by law, but no less than at least five (5) years following the end of the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain. Such records will be subject to inspection in accordance with Section 8.5.

8.5 Audits. Upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice, Hapbee will permit an independent, certified public accountant selected by EMulate and reasonably acceptable to Hapbee, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (for the purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Auditor”), to audit or inspect those books or records of Hapbee, its Sublicensees and Distributors that relate to Net Income, or Royalty Reports for the sole purpose of verifying (a) the royalties payable hereunder in respect of Net Income, (b) the withholding taxes, if any, required by Applicable Law to be deducted as a payment by Hapbee in respect of such Net Income, and (c) the exchange rates used in determining the amount of U.S. dollars. The Auditor will disclose to EMulate only the amount and accuracy of payments reported and actually paid or otherwise payable under this Agreement. The Auditor will send a copy of the report to Hapbee at the same time it is sent to EMulate. EMulate will bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment of the amount actually owed of more than five percent (5%), in which case Hapbee will bear the full out-of-pocket, external cost of such audit. Within thirty (30) days from the auditor’s report, Hapbee will submit to EMulate any underpayment discovered in such audit, or EMulate will refund any amounts shown to have been overpaid, in each case as applicable.

8.6 Late Payment. Any amounts not paid when due under this Agreement will be subject to interest from and after the date payment is due through and including the date upon which such Party makes such payment at the annual interest rate of one and a half (1.5) percent (1.5%) compounded monthly; provided, however, that in no event will such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest will not limit the Party entitled to receive payment from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

CONFIDENTIAL

Article 9

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

9.1 Ownership of Intellectual Property.

(a) EMulate Technology and Hapbee Technology. EMulate owns and will retain all rights, title, and interests in and to the EMulate Technology. Hapbee will own and retain all rights, title and interests in and to the Hapbee Technology.

(b) Ownership of Inventions. Ownership of all Inventions will be based on inventorship, as determined in accordance with the rules of inventorship under U.S. patent laws. Each Party will solely own any Inventions made solely by its or its employees, agents, or independent contractors (“Sole Inventions”). The Parties will jointly own any Inventions that are made jointly by employees, agents, or independent contractors of one Party together with employees, agents, or independent contractors of the other Party (“Joint Inventions”). If an Hapbee Sole Invention or a Joint Invention covers or is related to the Cognate (collectively, the “Cognate Inventions”), such Cognate Inventions will be owned solely by EMulate, and Hapbee will and hereby does assign to EMulate its right and interest in such Cognate Inventions and such assigned Cognate Inventions will be included in the EMulate Technology licensed to Hapbee pursuant to Section 2.1(a).

9.2 Patent Prosecution and Maintenance.

(a) EMulate Patents. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2, EMulate will have the sole right and authority to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain the EMulate Patents on a worldwide basis. EMulate will bear all costs of preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the EMulate Patents in the Territory.

(b) EMulate Abandonment. If EMulate determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any such EMulate Patent(s) in the Territory, then EMulate will provide Hapbee with written notice of such determination within a period of time reasonably necessary to allow Hapbee to determine its interest in such EMulate Patent(s). In the event Hapbee provides written notice expressing its interest in obtaining such EMulate Patent(s), EMulate will assign and transfer, without any compensation, to Hapbee the ownership of, and interest in, such EMulate Patent(s) in the Territory, at Hapbee’s sole expense. Hapbee will thereafter bear all costs of preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of such assigned and transferred Patents in the Territory. In the event that Hapbee decides to abandon or not maintain any such Patent(s), Hapbee will promptly provide EMulate with written notice of such decision.

(c) Hapbee Patents. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2, Hapbee will have the sole right and authority, in its sole discretion, to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain the Hapbee Patents within the Territory at its own expense.

(d) Hapbee Abandonment. If Hapbee determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any such Patent within the Hapbee Patents anywhere in the world, then Hapbee will provide EMulate with written notice of such determination within a period of time reasonably necessary to allow EMulate to determine its interest in such Hapbee Patent(s). In the event EMulate provides written notice expressing its interest in obtaining such Hapbee Patent(s), Hapbee will assign and transfer, without any compensation, to EMulate the ownership of, and interest in, such Hapbee Patent(s) in the applicable jurisdiction at EMulate’s sole expense. EMulate will thereafter bear all costs of preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of such assigned and transferred Patent(s). For the avoidance of doubt, such transferred Patent(s) will be a part of the EMulate Patents licensed hereunder to Hapbee upon Hapbee’s payment to EMulate of the patent expenses incurred by EMulate in the Territory related thereto. In the event that EMulate decides to abandon or not maintain any such transferred Patent(s), EMulate will promptly provide Hapbee with written notice of such decision.

CONFIDENTIAL

(e) Joint Patents.

(i) Initial Responsibility. EMulate will be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of Joint Patents worldwide, subject to the rest of this Section 9.2(e). EMulate will be responsible for preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining all Joint Patents, using a patent counsel selected by EMulate and reasonably acceptable to Hapbee; provided, that Hapbee and EMulate will share equally the cost and expenses of the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of Joint Patents, and Hapbee will reimburse EMulate for Hapbee’s portion of such costs and expenses incurred by EMulate within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice for such costs and expenses by EMulate.

(ii) Cooperation. EMulate will consult with Hapbee in preparing Joint Patent applications and will consider and adopt in good faith Hapbee’s comments and suggestions prior to the filing of any Joint Patent application. EMulate will keep Hapbee fully informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Joint Patents in and outside the Territory. EMulate will:

(1) provide Hapbee with a copy of the final draft of any proposed application at least thirty (30) days prior to filing the same in any patent office worldwide, unless otherwise agreed by patent counsel for both parties, and EMulate will consider in good faith any comments or revisions suggested by Hapbee or its counsel;

(2) promptly provide Hapbee with a copy of each patent application as filed, together with a notice of its filing date and serial number;

(3) provide Hapbee with a copy of any action, communication, letter, or other correspondence issued by the relevant patent office within at least ten (10) days of receipt thereof, and EMulate will consult with Hapbee regarding responding to the same and will consider in good faith any comments, strategies, and the like proposed by Hapbee;

(4) provide Hapbee with a copy of any response, amendment, paper, or other correspondence filed with the relevant patent office within ten (10) days of EMulate’s receipt of the as-filed document;

CONFIDENTIAL

(5) promptly notify Hapbee of the allowance, grant, or issuance of such Joint Patents; and

(6) consult with Hapbee regarding the countries to be filed and maintained, the payment of annuities, taxes and maintenance fees for any such Joint Patents.

(iii) Joint Patent Abandonment. In the event that EMulate desires to abandon or cease prosecution and/or maintenance of any Joint Patent, EMulate will provide reasonable prior written notice to Hapbee of such intention to abandon (which notice will, to the extent possible, be given no later than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to such Joint Patent in the relevant patent office). In such case or if EMulate refuses to pay its share of costs related to any such Joint Patent, at Hapbee’s sole discretion, upon written notice from Hapbee, Hapbee may elect to continue prosecution and/or maintenance of any such Joint Patent at its own expense, and EMulate will execute such documents and perform such acts, at EMulate’s expense, as may be reasonably necessary to effect an assignment of EMulate’s entire right, title, and interest in and to such Joint Patent to Hapbee. Any such assignment will be completed in a timely manner to allow Hapbee to continue prosecution and/or maintenance of any such Joint Patent. Any Patents so assigned will no longer be considered Joint Patents and will become Hapbee Patents.

(iv) Hapbee Declines Responsibility. If Hapbee refuses to pay its share of costs related to any Joint Patent, upon written notice from EMulate, Hapbee will assign its entire right, title, and interest in and to any such Joint Patent to EMulate. Any Patents so assigned will no longer be considered Joint Patents and will become EMulate Patents.

9.3 Infringement by Third Parties.

(a) Notice. In the event that either EMulate or Hapbee becomes aware of any infringement or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Patents that are subject to the prosecution, maintenance, or enforcement by a Party under this Agreement, it will notify the other Party in writing to that effect. Any such notice will include evidence to support an allegation of infringement or threatened infringement by such Third Party.

(b) EMulate Patents. Subject to this Section 9.3(b), EMulate has the first right, as between EMulate and Hapbee, to bring and control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any EMulate Patent worldwide, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. Hapbee has the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice, and EMulate and its counsel will reasonably cooperate with Hapbee and its counsel in strategizing, preparing, and presenting any such action or proceeding. If EMulate fails to bring an action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any EMulate Patent described in the preceding sentence within (i) one hundred twenty (120) days following the notice of alleged infringement or (ii) ten (10) days before the time limit, if any, set forth in the appropriate laws and regulations for the filing of such actions, whichever comes first, Hapbee has the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such action at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. Upon Hapbee’s request, EMulate will timely join any such litigation and cooperate with Hapbee in connection with such infringement action. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery or damages realized as a result of such action or proceeding will be used first to reimburse the Parties’ documented out-of-pocket legal expenses relating to the action or proceeding, and any remaining damages relating to the Authorized Product (including without limitation, lost sales, leases, rentals or lost profits with respect to the Authorized Product) will be retained by the Party bringing suit, and if such Party is Hapbee, such remaining damages will be deemed Net Income subject to the royalty provisions of Section 7.3.

CONFIDENTIAL

(c) Hapbee Patents. Hapbee has the first right (but not the obligation), as between EMulate and Hapbee, to bring and control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any Hapbee Patent worldwide, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice and the right to retain all damages resulting from its enforcement action.

(d) Joint Patents. Any action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any Joint Patent worldwide may only be brought by both Parties, with the costs to be shared equally between the Parties. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery or damages from an action or proceeding relating to Joint Patents will be used first to reimburse the Parties’ documented out-of-pocket legal expenses relating to the action or proceeding, and any remaining damages will be shared equally between the Parties.

(e) Cooperation. In the event either Party brings an infringement action in accordance with this Section 9.3, the other Party will cooperate fully, including, if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party to such action.

9.4 Infringement of Third-Party Rights. Each Party will promptly notify the other in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the activity of either of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such Third Party. EMulate has the sole right to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third-Party rights by EMulate’s activities at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Hapbee has the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Hapbee has the sole right to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third-Party rights by Hapbee’s activities at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and EMulate has the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice.

9.5 Consent for Settlement. Neither Party will enter into any settlement or compromise of any action or proceeding under this Article 9 which would materially alter, diminish, or be in derogation of the other Party’s rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

9.6 Patent Marking. Hapbee (or its Sublicensees, or Distributors) will xxxx Authorized Product marketed and sold by Hapbee (or its Sublicensees, or Distributors) hereunder with appropriate patent numbers or indicia designed by EMulate to the extent such markings or such notices would impact recoveries of damages or equitable remedies available under Applicable Law with respect to infringements of patents in the Territory.

CONFIDENTIAL

9.7 Trademarks. Without limiting any of Hapbee’s rights to brand the Authorized Product as provided for in Section 5.4, Hapbee will use the EMulate Trademarks selected by EMulate to Commercialize the Authorized Product in the Territory. Where Hapbee reasonably believes the EMulate Trademark is not appropriate for commercial use, or if such EMulate Trademark is not approved for use in the Territory by the applicable Regulatory Authority, the Parties will agree on an alternative product trademark for such country and such alternative product trademark will be deemed a EMulate Trademark. In addition, unless prohibited by Applicable Laws, Hapbee will include EMulate’s corporate trademark on the packaging and product information of the Authorized Product sold in the Territory to indicate that the Authorized Product is licensed from EMulate. All use of the EMulate Trademarks and EMulate corporate trademark will comply with Applicable Laws and regulations and will be subject to EMulate’s review and approval. For clarity, Hapbee may also include its (or its Sublicensee’s) corporate logo Hapbee Housemarks and similar trademarks or trade names of any Hapbee Sublicensee in the Authorized Product sold in the Territory.

Article 10

CONFIDENTIALITY

10.1 Nondisclosure. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, during the Term and for seven (7) years thereafter, the receiving Party (the “Receiving Party”) will keep confidential and will not publish or otherwise disclose and will not use for any purpose other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement any Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”), and both Parties will keep confidential and, subject to Sections 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, will not publish or otherwise disclose the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party’s obligation of confidentiality and restriction on use with respect to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information which derives economic value from not being generally known to public and is identified in writing by the Disclosing Party as trade secrets will continue perpetually for so long as such Confidential Information is unpublished by the Disclosing Party and no provision of Section 10.2(b), (c), or (d) applies to such Confidential Information. Each Party may use the other Party’s Confidential Information solely to the extent required to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including exercising such Party’s rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party will use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own (but no less than reasonable care) to ensure that its employees, agents, consultants, contractors, other representatives and, in the case of Hapbee, Sublicensees and Distributors do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the other Party. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other Party.

10.2 Authorized Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party only to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

(a) filing or prosecuting Patents as permitted by this Agreement;

CONFIDENTIAL

(b) prosecuting or defending litigation, including responding to a subpoena in a Third-Party litigation;

(c) complying with Applicable Laws or regulations (including regulations promulgated by securities exchanges) or court or administrative orders;

(d) to its Sublicensees or prospective Sublicensees, Distributors, Third-Party Partners, subcontractors or prospective subcontractors, payors, consultants, agents, and advisors on a “need-to-know” basis in order for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on use of such Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than those set forth in this Article 10; provided, however, that, in each of the above situations, the Receiving Party will remain responsible for any failure by any Third Party who receives Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 10.2 to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Article 10; or

(e) to bona fide potential and actual investors, acquirors, merger partners, licensees, and other financial or commercial partners solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition, or collaboration, in each case under written obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those herein.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Sections 10.2(b), (c), or (d), it will, except where impracticable, give at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure, reasonably consider the comments of the other Party with respect to limiting such disclosure, and use efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information at least as diligent as such Party would use to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder. Any information disclosed pursuant to Sections 10.2(b), (c), or (d) will remain the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions of this Article 10.

10.3 Public Announcements. At the election of EMulate with respect to any or all of the Authorized Product, the Parties agree to issue a joint press release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to both Parties announcing the signature of this Agreement at or shortly after the Effective Date, but in any event within the time-period as required by Applicable Laws. It is understood that either Party may make such disclosures as it determines, based on advice of counsel, is reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Laws or for appropriate market disclosure. Each Party will provide the other Party with advance notice of legally required disclosures to the extent practicable. The Parties will consult with each other on the provisions of this Agreement to be redacted in any filings made by a Party as required by Applicable Laws; provided, that each Party will have the right to make any such filing as it reasonably determines necessary under Applicable Laws. In addition, following any initial joint press release announcing this Agreement, either Party will be free to disclose, without the other Party’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other Party, and those terms of the Agreement which have already been publicly disclosed in accordance herewith.

CONFIDENTIAL

Article 12

INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Indemnification of EMulate. Hapbee will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of EMulate and its directors, shareholders, officers, and employees (collectively, the “EMulate Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of litigation) (“Losses”) from any Third-Party claims, actions, suits, or proceedings (each, a “Claim”) incurred by any EMulate Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of Hapbee, its Sublicensees, Distributors or other subcontractors, and (b) any breach of any representations, warranties, or covenants by Hapbee under this Agreement; except in each case to the extent such Claim falls within the scope of EMulate’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 12.2.

12.2 Indemnification of Hapbee. EMulate will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Hapbee and its Sublicensees and Distributors and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Hapbee Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses from any Third-Party Claims incurred by any Hapbee Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of EMulate; and (b) any breach of any representations, warranties, or covenants by EMulate under this Agreement; except in each case to the extent such Claim falls within the scope of the indemnification obligations of Hapbee set forth in Section 12.1.

12.3 Procedure. Each Party’s agreement to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party is conditioned on the indemnified Party: (a) providing written notice to the indemnifying Party of any Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder promptly after the indemnified Party has knowledge of such Claim; (b) permitting the indemnifying Party to assume full responsibility to investigate, prepare for, and defend against any such Claim, except that the indemnified Party may cooperate in the defense at its own expense using its own counsel; (c) assisting the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s reasonable expense, in the investigation of, preparation for, and defense of any such Claim; and (d) not compromising or settling such Claim without the indemnifying Party’s written consent. The indemnifying Party will not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money. If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above, (y) the indemnified Party may defend against and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Claim in any manner the indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (z) the indemnifying Party will remain responsible to indemnify the indemnified Party as provided in this Article 12. The failure to promptly notify the indemnifying Party after the commencement of any action with respect to a Claim will only relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 12 if and to the extent the indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.

CONFIDENTIAL

12.4 Insurance. Each Party will procure and maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at all times during the Term. It is understood that such insurance will not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 12. Each Party will provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance upon request. Each Party will provide the other Party with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal, or material change in such insurance or self-insurance which materially adversely affects the rights of the other Party hereunder.

12.5 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 12.5 IS INTENDED TO OR WILL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 12.1 OR SECTION 12.2, OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE 10.
