(vi) The Sublicensee agrees that any provision of its Sublicense which is inconsistent with this Agreement shall not be effective as to the relationship between UMB and the Sublicense.

(b) With respect to a Pre-Approved Sublicense, Qualified Sublicense, or Post-Termination Approved Sublicense that is to survive, the Sublicensee shall promptly deliver to UMB a certificate evidencing the insurance coverage required by this Agreement. The certificate shall evidence that UMB has been listed as an additional insured, and that the insurance was effective no later than the effective date of the termination.

3.3.7 Non-Survival of Other Sublicenses. In the event of termination of this Agreement, no Patent Rights sublicensed by Company shall become directly licensed from UMB other than as specifically set forth in this Section.

3.3.8 Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Sublicensee of a Pre-Approved Sublicense, a Qualified Sublicense, or a Post-Termination Approved Sublicense is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section, and the terms of this Section are enforceable by those Sublicensees against UMB.

3.5.1 To the extent that any Invention has been funded in whole or in part by the U.S. Government, the U.S. Government retains certain rights in the Invention under Federal law and applicable regulations, including without limitation 35 U.S.C. §200-212 (the “Federal Patent Policy”). This Agreement is subject in all respects to the Federal Patent Policy.

3.5.2 As a condition of the license granted hereby, Company acknowledges and agrees to comply with all aspects of the Federal Patent Policy applicable to the Patent Rights, including without limitation the obligation as set forth in the Federal Patent Policy that Licensed Products used or sold in the U.S. be manufactured substantially in the U.S (unless such obligation is waived in accordance with the Federal Patent Policy). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate UMB to take any action that would conflict in any respect with its past, current or future obligations to the U.S. Government under the Federal Patent Policy.

3.5.3 Solely to the extent set forth in the Federal Patent Policy, the U.S. Government retains the right in certain circumstances to require UMB to grant to a responsible

applicant a nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or exclusive license to use the Inventions in the applicant’s field of use on terms that are reasonable under the circumstances; or, if UMB fails to do so, to grant a license itself.

3.5.4 The use and disclosure of technical Confidential Information acquired pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of Patent Rights granted by this Agreement are subject to the export, assets, and financial control regulations of the U.S., including without limitation restrictions under regulations of the U.S. that may be applicable to direct or indirect reexportation of technical Confidential Information or of equipment, products, or services directly produced by use of technical Confidential Information. Company is responsible for complying with these regulations.

3.6 Improvements.

3.6.1 UMB Improvements shall be owned by UMB. Joint Improvements shall be owned jointly by Company and UMB. Company Improvements shall be owned by Company.

3.6.2 UMB shall report promptly to Company in writing each UMB Improvement and/or Joint Improvement made by UMB during the Term which is disclosed to TEC-COM, and whether that UMB Improvement and/or Joint Improvement is subject to rights of a Third Party which sponsors research at UMB as a result of which the Improvement was discovered or invented. Company shall report promptly to UMB in writing each Joint Improvement made by Company during the Term. These reports shall be in sufficient detail to determine inventorship and to file and prosecute patent applications for Improvements. These reports shall be subject to Article 7 (Confidentiality).

3.6.3 Company and UMB shall discuss whether a patent application or applications pertaining to each UMB Improvement and/or Joint Improvement should be filed. If Company notifies UMB in writing that patent application(s) should be filed with respect to any UMB Improvement and/or Joint Improvement (each, an “Optioned Improvement”), then UMB shall be responsible for preparing and filing such patent applications in accordance with Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof and Company shall be responsible for the reasonable Patent Expenses incurred by UMB for such filings in accordance with Section 3.6.8. If Company notifies UMB in writing that it is not interested in having patent application(s) filed with respect to a particular UMB Improvement and/or Joint Improvement, or if Company fails to notify UMB of its interest within [**] days from the date on which the Improvement was disclosed by UMB, then Company shall not be responsible for Patent Expenses and shall have no further right to UMB’s rights to such UMB Improvement and/or Joint Improvement.

3.6.4 Subject to rights of a Third Party which sponsors the research at UMB as a result of which the Improvement was invented or discovered, Company is hereby granted a first option to receive an exclusive license to UMB’s rights in any Optioned Improvement within the Licensed Field (the “Option”) during the Option Term; provided, however, that this Agreement is then in effect, there are at that time no uncured defaults or breaches by Company of this Agreement or any other Agreement between Company and UMB, and Company pays Patent Expenses in accordance with Section 3.6.8.

3.6.5 Company may exercise the Option by giving written notice to UMB at any time within [**] days after Company receives notice from UMB under Section 3.6.2 concerning the particular Optioned Improvement (the “Option Term”). Upon written notice by Company during the Option Term, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of [**] days (or such longer period as the Parties may agree) (the “Negotiation Period”) an amendment to this Agreement adding such Optioned Improvement to the Patent Rights set forth on Schedule A. If an amendment is executed by the Parties, but only in that event, the Optioned Improvement (“Licensed Improvement”) shall be deemed to constitute part of the Patent Rights. The Optioned Improvement shall not be considered part of Patent Rights unless and until added by such amendment.

3.6.6 Any amendment shall provide that the Licensed Improvement shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Article 5 (Consideration). However, (a) if USM bond counsel advises that U.S. tax law relating to tax-exempt bond issues which financed the construction or renovation of UMB resources used for research related to the Licensed Improvement (including without limitation the “Safe Harbor” provisions of Internal Revenue Procedure 97-14) would be applicable to the license of the Licensed Improvement, and (b) UMB or USM reasonably determines that the royalty rate set forth in this Agreement as applied to the Licensed Improvement would not satisfy the requirements of that tax law, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to set a commercially reasonable royalty rate that does satisfy those requirements. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a royalty rate for the Licensed Improvement during the Negotiation Period, the Parties shall submit the issue for dispute resolution pursuant to Section 14.3.

3.6.7 If the Negotiation Period ends and the Parties have not executed an amendment, Company shall have no rights with respect to the Optioned Improvement, shall have no obligation to pay Patent Expenses related to such Optioned Improvement, and UMB may license all or a portion of its interest in the Optioned Improvement to one or more Third Parties; provided, however that for a period of [**] after the expiration of the Negotiation Period, UMB may only offer the rights to Third Parties on terms and conditions that are not more favorable than the last offer made by UMB to Company, unless those more favorable terms and conditions have first been offered in writing to Company, and either (a) Company has declined in writing to accept the offer, or (b) Company has filed to respond to the offer within [**] days after receiving the offer.

3.6.8 In consideration for the Option, Company shall be responsible for payment of all Patent Expenses with respect to Optioned Improvements. If Company fails to pay timely any undisputed invoice for the Patent Expenses, the Option with respect to the relevant Optioned Improvement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, effective as of the date of UMB’s written notice of termination. If Company notifies UMB of its intent not to exercise the Option with respect to any particular Optioned Improvement, or does not timely exercise the Option, Company shall have no obligation to pay Patent Expenses related to the Optioned Improvement which are incurred more than [**] days after UMB’s receipt of the notice or the date of expiration of the applicable Option, as the case may be. UMB shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the Patent Expenses incurred during the [**] day period.

3.6.9 For purposes of this Agreement, inventorship of any Improvement shall be determined only in accordance with U.S. patent law, notwithstanding that the patent laws of other countries where patent applications are filed may follow rules of inventorship that differ from U.S. patent law. For purposes of this Agreement, an invention shall be deemed to be “made” when it is conceived.

ARTICLE 4. DILIGENCE REQUIREMENTS

4.1 R&D Plan and Business Plan.

4.1.1 Company has delivered to UMB prior to execution of this Agreement: (a) a research and development plan (the “R&D Plan”) to be reasonably acceptable to UMB, showing the amount of money and time budgeted and planned for technical development of the Patent Rights, and (b) a business plan (the “Business Plan”) to be reasonably acceptable to UMB, showing the proposed commercialization scheme for Licensed Products.

4.1.2 Company shall provide [**] written reports for the first [**] after the Effective Date, and [**] written reports thereafter, to UMB on progress against the R&D Plan and the Business Plan (and any commercially reasonable updates thereto by Company), including general information on the progress of research and development activities related to the Licensed Products and marketing analyses and the occurrence or satisfaction of each of the due diligence milestones set forth on Schedule B. Such reports shall contain information sufficient for UMB to determine whether Company is making progress with respect to Licensed Products, but Company shall not be required to disclose detailed or sensitive data or trade secrets. The reports shall be due within [**] days following the expiration of each reporting period. Any information or reports provided under this Section shall be Company Confidential Information subject to Article 7 (Confidentiality).

4.2 Licensed Products to Market. Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to bring one or more Licensed Products to market as soon as practicable in accordance with the R&D Plan and the Business Plan. “Commercially Reasonable Efforts” means, with respect to the commercialization of a Licensed Product, efforts that are consistent with those utilized by companies of similar size and type for products with similar commercial potential at a similar stage, taking into consideration their safety and efficacy, their cost to develop, the competitiveness of alternative products, the nature and extent of their market exclusivity, the likelihood of regulatory approval, their profitability, and all other relevant factors.

4.3 Due Diligence Milestones. Company shall timely achieve the due diligence milestones set forth on Schedule B.

ARTICLE 5. CONSIDERATION

The Parties acknowledge and agree that each of the payment obligations set forth in this Article 5 have been established for the convenience of the Parties after due consideration was given to alternative payment structures. Such payment obligations have been deemed by the Parties to be the most appropriate and convenient means of valuing Company’s right to practice

the Patent Rights under this Agreement and to receive the benefit of UMB entering into this Agreement. In consideration of the license hereunder:

5.1 License Fee. Within [**] days after the Effective Date, Company shall pay to UMB a non-refundable license fee of Twenty Thousand Dollars (U.S. $20,000.00). The license fee is not creditable against any other fee, royalty, or payment.

5.2 License Maintenance Fees. Company shall pay license maintenance fees to UMB of Ten Thousand Dollars (U.S. $10,000.00) per annum commencing on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and continuing on each anniversary of the Effective Date during the Term, until the year in which the First Commercial Sale occurs. The license maintenance fees are not creditable against any other fee, royalty, or payment.

5.3 Milestone Payments. Company shall pay to UMB the following milestone payments:


On submission of each IND for a Licensed Product to the U.S. FDA:	U.S. $50,000.00	Within [**] days following submission

On approval of each NDA or BLA for a Licensed Product by the U.S. FDA:	U.S. $100,000.00	Within [**] days following receipt of approval

5.4 Minimum Annual Royalty. Company shall pay UMB guaranteed minimum annual royalties of Fifty Thousand Dollars (U.S. $50,000.00) per year, beginning with the calendar year following the year in which the First Commercial Sale occurs. The minimum annual royalty for the year of First Commercial Sale shall be pro-rated according to the date of First Commercial Sale. Company shall pay the minimum annual royalty, if any, due with respect to a calendar year by the next February 1 following that year. Minimum annual royalties shall be creditable against running royalties payable under Section 5.5.

5.5 Running Royalties on Sales of Licensed Products and Combination Products.

5.5.1 Licensed Products. Subject to the terms of this Section 5.5, Company shall pay to UMB a running royalty of [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Revenues on Sales of Licensed Products (other than Combination Products) by Company or Sublicensees.

5.5.2 Combination Products.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 5.5, Company shall pay to UMB a running royalty of [**] percent ([**]%) of Combination Product Net Revenues (as defined below) on Sales by Company or Sublicensees of Combination Products. “Combination Product Net Revenues” shall be determined as follows:

(1) by multiplying the Net Revenues of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), if on a country-by-country basis, the Covered Component(s) and Non-Covered Component(s) are sold separately in finished form in such country, where A is

the average invoiced sales price of the Covered Component(s) sold separately in finished form in such country and B is the average invoiced sales price of the Non-Covered Component(s) sold separately in finished form in such country;

(2) by multiplying the Net Revenues of the Combination Product by the fraction C/(C+D), if on a country-by-country basis the Covered Component(s) are sold separately in finished form in such country, but the Non-Covered Component(s) are not sold separately in finished form in such country, where C is the average invoiced sales price of the Covered Component(s) in finished form in such country and D is the difference between the average invoiced sales price of the Combination Product and the average sales price of the Covered Component(s) in finished form in such country;

(3) by multiplying the Net Revenues of the Combination Product by the fraction 1 minus C/(C+D), if on a country-by-country basis the Non-Covered Component(s) are sold separately in finished form in such country but the Covered Component(s) are not sold separately in finished form in such country, where C is the average invoiced sales price of the Non-Covered Component(s) in finished form in such country and D is the difference between the average invoiced sales price of the Combination Product and the average invoiced sales price of the Non-Covered Component(s); or

(4) if on a country-by-country basis neither the Covered Component(s) nor the Non-Covered Components) are sold separately in finished form in a country, Combination Product Net Revenues shall be determined by the Parties in good faith based on the relative fully allocated costs of goods for each Covered Component and Non-Covered Component; provided, however, that if either Party can establish in good faith that using the relative fully allocated costs of goods would not produce a reasonable determination of Combination Product Net Revenues, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 14.

5.5.3 Duration. Royalties under Sections 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 shall be payable on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis commencing with the First Commercial Sale until the later of: (a) the expiration of the last to expire of the Claims of the Patent Rights covering the manufacture, use or sale of a Licensed Product in such country (the “Claim Expiration Date”), or (b) ten (10) years after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in such country. However, if the Claim Expiration Date is earlier than the tenth (10th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale in such country then, for the period commencing upon the Claim Expiration Date and ending ten (10) years after the First Commercial Sale in such country, the royalty rate set forth in Section 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%) (i.e., to [**] percent ([**]%)).

5.5.4 Royalty Reduction. UMB and Company shall negotiate in good faith an appropriate reduction in the royalty rate if Company proves that it suffered a loss of Sales due to competition from a product whose manufacture, use or sale is covered by a UMB-owned patent which was invented by one or more of the Inventors, and is sold by a Third Party under a license from UMB.

5.5.5 Sales to Company Affiliates or Sublicensees. Company shall not be required to pay royalties on Sales of Licensed Products to a Company Affiliate or Sublicensee, and these Sales shall not be included in Net Revenues on which royalties are calculated. However, if the Company Affiliate or Sublicensee is an end user of a Licensed Product, these Sales shall be included in Net Revenues of the Licensed Product for the purpose of calculating royalties, at the average selling price charged by Company to Third Parties for the Licensed Product during that same period and in the relevant country.

5.5.6 Royalty Stacking. If Company or a Sublicensee is reasonably required to license one or more technologies of one or more Third Parties in order to make, have made, use, offer to Sell, Sell or import Licensed Products, and is required to pay a royalty therefor, then up to [**] percent ([**]%) of the royalty may be deducted from running royalties payable to UMB; provided, however, that the running royalties payable to UMB shall not be reduced by more than [**] percent ([**]%). Company shall not permit any Sublicensee to deduct from Sublicense Income due to Company more than [**] percent ([**]%) of royalties due as a result of any licenses from one or more Third Parties to that Sublicensee.

5.6 Sublicense Income.

5.6.1 Company shall pay to UMB a percentage of all Sublicense Income that is received from each Sublicensee, according to when the Sublicense is executed, as follows:

Prior to the 1st anniversary of the Effective Date: [**]%

On or after the 1st anniversary but prior to the 2^nd anniversary of the Effective Date: [**]%

On or after the 2nd anniversary but prior to the 3^rd anniversary of the Effective Date: [**]%

On or after the 3rd anniversary but prior to the 4^th anniversary of the Effective Date: [**]%

On or after the 4th anniversary of the Effective Date: 10%

5.6.2 Any share of a milestone payment from a Sublicensee which is paid to UMB pursuant to this Section may be credited toward the milestone payments due under Section 5.3.

5.6.3 Company shall pay UMB the required share of any Sublicense Income paid in cash within [**] days of the end of each calendar quarter.

5.6.4 For any non-cash Sublicense Income paid in securities that are publicly traded or otherwise have a value that can be agreed by the Parties at that time, the Parties shall agree on an acceptable method to have UMB’s share paid within [**] days of Company receiving the securities, by Company either (a) transferring and delivering to UMB the required percentage of the securities, or (b) paying in cash the Fair Market Value of such securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company is unable to transfer, deliver, or liquidate the securities within the period without violating an applicable law, regulation, other legal requirement, or any agreement or other arrangement with any other Person (including the Sublicensee), then Company shall compensate UMB in accordance with the foregoing within [**] days after it is first able to transfer and deliver the securities without such a violation. UMB shall execute and deliver, prior to any transfer of securities, all commercially reasonable stockholder agreements and other documents applicable to the securities to be transferred to UMB.

5.6.5 As to any other form of Sublicense Income that cannot be valued as contemplated by this Section 5.6, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution under which UMB shall receive its required share.

5.7 Payments For Net Revenues in Foreign Countries.

5.7.1 Royalties are payable from the country in which they are earned and are subject to foreign exchange regulations then prevailing in the country. Royalty payments must be paid to UMB in U.S. Dollars by check(s) drawn to the order of UMB or by electronic funds transfers to an account designated by UMB. To the extent Sales are made in a foreign country, those royalties shall be determined first in the currency of the country in which the royalties are earned, and then converted to their equivalent in U.S. Dollars. The buying rates of exchange for converting the currencies involved into the currency of the U.S. quoted by the Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, New York (or any successor), averaged on the last business day of each of six (6) consecutive calendar months constituting the period in which the royalties were earned, shall be used to determine any conversion. Company shall bear any loss of exchange or value or pay any expenses incurred in the transfer or conversion to U.S. dollars.

5.7.2 If any applicable law or regulation (including without limitation currency exchange regulations) prevents or limits royalty payments with respect to Net Revenues in any country, Company shall render to UMB annual reports of Sales of Licensed Products in that country. All monies due and owing UMB as provided in the annual reports shall, at UMB’s option: (a) be deposited promptly in a local bank in that country in an account to be designated by UMB in writing; or (b) be paid promptly to UMB or deposited in its account, as directed in writing by UMB in any other country where the payment or deposit is lawful.

7.2.2 The Confidential Information was already in the possession of the Receiving Party at the time of the disclosure (other than pursuant to a confidential disclosure agreement between the Parties and not due to any unauthorized act by the Receiving Party); and

7.2.3 The Confidential Information was developed by the Receiving Party independent of and with no reliance upon the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or with a court or administrative order, provided that the Disclosing Party receives prior written notice of such disclosure, to the extent reasonably possible, and that the Receiving Party takes all reasonable and lawful actions to obtain confidential treatment for such disclosure and, to the extent possible, to minimize the extent of such disclosure.

Provided that those efforts are made, Company agrees not to seek to hold UMB or UMB Personnel liable in the event of disclosure or use of Company Confidential Information.

7.5 Maryland Access to Public Records Law. The records of UMB are subject to the Maryland Access to Public Records Law(Title 10, Subtitle 6, Part III, State Government Article, Annotated Code of Maryland) (the “Act”). This Agreement and its Schedules and Exhibits (whether or not made part of this Agreement) and reports to UMB pursuant to Article 8 are public records of UMB. Company takes the position that any Company Confidential Information provided to UMB under this Agreement is confidential financial, commercial, or trade secret information, not subject to disclosure as provided in Section 10-617(d) of the Act. Unless UMB determines on the advice of counsel that Company’s position is not reasonable,

UMB agrees to assert that position in response to any request for public records applicable to Company Confidential Information, and to promptly notify Company upon receipt of a request so that the Company may seek to preserve the confidentiality of Confidential Information.

ARTICLE 8. REPORTS, PAYMENTS, AND ACCOUNTING

8.1 Audits. During the term of this Agreement and for [**] years after its expiration or termination, Company shall keep (and shall require each Sublicensee to keep) complete, true, and accurate records containing all the particulars that may be necessary to determine royalties, fees, Patent Expenses, or other amounts payable to UMB. The records shall be subject to inspection at any time during regular business hours upon reasonable notice (but not more than [**]) by an independent auditor appointed by UMB for this purpose and reasonably acceptable to Company.

8.6 Taxation. UMB is a unit of the government of the State of Maryland, and therefore is exempt from taxation. Company shall assert to all applicable governmental authorities that UMB is exempt from tax by virtue of its governmental status. If Company nevertheless is required to withhold tax on royalties or other payments due to UMB under this Agreement, it shall pay promptly any tax to the appropriate governmental authority. In that event, it shall furnish UMB with proof of payment of the tax together with official or other appropriate evidence issued by the competent governmental authority sufficient to enable UMB to support a claim for tax exemption, credit, or refund with respect to any sum so withheld.

(a) It is necessary in the reasonable opinion of Company’s counsel and the Office of the Attorney General of Maryland to achieve standing or otherwise avoid dismissal of the suit;

(b) UMB is not the first named party in the action (to the extent this can be controlled by the Company and, in the reasonable opinion of Company’s counsel, will not affect the ability to bring suit); and

(c) The pleadings and any public statements about the action state that Company is pursuing the action and that Company has the right to join UMB as a party (only to the extent, in the reasonable opinion of Company’s counsel, such statements in the pleadings or in public will not affect the ability to bring suit).

Any remaining amount from this recovery shall be shared equally by Company and UMB.

9.4 UMB’s Rights to Xxx or Intervene.

9.4.1 If Company fails to bring suit under Section 9.2.1 by any required filing deadline (but not later than [**] months after receiving notice or otherwise having knowledge of Infringement), UMB shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate a suit. If Company fails to timely notify UMB of its intent to respond in opposition to a legal action under Section 9.2.2 within [**] days after Company’s receipt of notice of the filing of the action, or if Company notifies UMB that it does not intend to oppose the action, UMB shall have the right, but not the obligation, to respond to the action at its own expense. In addition, UMB shall have a continuing right to intervene in any action described in Section 9.2.1 or 9.2.2.

9.4.2 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if UMB files suit, responds to a legal action, or otherwise intervenes pursuant to Section 9.4, UMB shall be responsible for its own litigation expenses and shall be entitled to all recoveries which it obtains for itself in connection therewith.

9.5 Conduct of Suit.

9.5.1 Company shall diligently pursue any suit or action under Section 9.2.1 or 9.2.2. Company shall keep UMB reasonably apprised of all developments in the suit. Company shall not prosecute, defend, settle, or otherwise compromise any suit in a manner that materially

adversely affects the scope, validity, or enforceability of the Patent Rights without UMB’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

9.5.2 If the Parties so agree, they may institute suit jointly.

9.5.3 Each Party shall cooperate fully with the other Party in connection with any action under this Article. Each Party shall provide prompt access to all necessary documents and shall render reasonable assistance in response to requests by the other Party.

9.5.4 Any Party which commences a suit and then wants to abandon it, shall give timely notice to the other Party. The other Party may continue prosecution of the suit, in which event the Parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the sharing of expenses and any recovery in the suit.

Unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Article, this Agreement shall expire on a country-by-country basis as of the later of: (a) the date of expiration of the last to expire of the Claims of the Patent Rights in such country, or (b) ten (10) years after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in that country (the “Term”).

10.2 Termination by UMB.

10.2.1 Failure To Pay. In the event of a default or failure by Company to pay UMB any sum due and payable under this Agreement, UMB may terminate this Agreement and the license(s) granted under this Agreement, if the default or failure is not cured within [**] days of receiving written notice thereof from UMB.

10.2.2 Diligence Default. In the event of any default or material breach of Section 4.3 (Due Diligence Milestones), UMB may terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted under this Agreement if the default or breach is not cured within [**] days of receiving written notice thereof from UMB. The withholding by a regulatory agency of marketing or other approval in spite of Company’s Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the approval shall not constitute a default or material breach of Section 4.3 (Due Diligence Milestones).

10.2.3 Other Default or Material Breach. In the event of any default or material breach of this Agreement by Company (other than under another subsection of this Section 10.2), UMB may terminate this Agreement and the license(s) granted under this Agreement, if the default or breach is not cured within [**] days of written notice thereof; provided, however, that

if any default or breach cannot be cured by the exercise of due diligence within [**] days, then the time for cure shall be extended for the time reasonably necessary to effect the cure (the extension not to exceed [**] days), provided that Company promptly commences to cure within said period and at all times thereafter proceeds diligently to cure the default or breach.

10.2.4 Bankruptcy. UMB may terminate this Agreement and the license granted hereunder if Company: (a) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) commences a case under or otherwise seeks to take advantage of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution, or liquidation law, statute, or proceeding; (c) by any act indicates its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in any proceeding or the appointment of a receiver of or trustee for it or a substantial part of its property, or suffers any receivership, trusteeship, or proceeding to continue undismissed for a period of thirty (30) days; or (d) becomes a debtor in any case under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

10.3 Termination by Company. If Company determines at any time that a license under the Patent Rights in any particular country shall no longer be advantageous to Company’s commercial success, then Company may terminate this Agreement as to that country. In that event, Company shall provide UMB with thirty (30) days advance written notice of termination, and shall pay to UMB all payments due through the effective date of the termination with respect to that country, including without limitation royalties, fees, and Patent Expenses.

10.4 Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement does not relieve either Party of any obligation which arises before expiration or termination. Articles 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, and 14 shall survive expiration or termination, and shall expire in accordance with their terms, if any. Other Sections of this Agreement shall survive and be effective after expiration or termination where that intent is clear from the content of those Sections.

10.5 Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement in whole or in part for any reason:

10.5.1 On or before the effective date of expiration or termination, Company shall pay to UMB all amounts due hereunder, including without limitation royalties, fees, and Patent Expenses;

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LICENSE AGREEMENT

This First Amendment (“First Amendment”) is effective as of the date of the last signature on the signature page between the UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE (“UMB”), a constituent institution of the University System of Maryland, a public corporation and an instrumentality of the State of Maryland, and TOKAI PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”). Company and UMB are referred to collectively as the “Parties” and each as a “Party.”

BACKGROUND

UMB and Company have entered into the Master License Agreement effective as of May 19, 2006 (“MLA”), under which Company received an exclusive worldwide license to practice the Patent Rights. (Any capitalized term which is not otherwise defined in this First Amendment shall have the meaning set forth in the MLA.)

A valuable invention generally known as “Novel Prodrugs of C-17-Heteroaryl Steroidal CYP17 Inhibitors/Antiandrogens: Synthesis, In Vitro Biological Activities, Pharmacokinetics, and Antitumor Activity” (UMB ref: VN-2008-030) has been made by Xx. Xxxxxxx Njar, Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, and Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, which constitutes an Improvement pursuant to the MLA.

Company has duly exercised its Option to receive an exclusive license to the Improvement, pursuant to Section 3.6 of the MLA. The Parties have negotiated in good faith to enter into this First Amendment to add the Improvement to the Patent Rights under the MLA, such that the invention will henceforth constitute a Licensed Improvement.

The Parties agree to amend the MLA as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Article 2 (Definitions) of the MLA is amended by deleting the definition of “TEC-COM.” Any reference in the MLA to “TEC-COM” shall hereafter be amended to be a reference to “CVIP.” Article 2 is further amended by adding the following definitions:

“CVIP”: The Commercial Ventures and Intellectual Property Group in UMB’s Office of Research and Development, and any successor to its responsibilities.

“Initial Licensed Product”: Any product (including without limitation any Combination Product) whose manufacture, use, Sale or import would infringe, or any process whose practice would infringe, the Initial Patent Rights.

“Initial Patent Rights”: The Patent Rights set forth in Part A of Schedule A.

“Oral Prodrug Licensed Product”: An orally administered prodrug formulation (including without limitation any Combination Product) whose manufacture, use, Sale or import would infringe, or any process whose practice would infringe, the Oral Prodrug Patent Rights.

“Oral Prodrug Patent Rights”: The Patent Rights set forth in Part B of Schedule A.

“Patent Expenses”: All fees, charges, expenses, and costs incurred before and after the Effective Date in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution, issuance, reissuance, reexamination, interference, and/or maintenance of patents or applications for patent or equivalent protection for the Patent Rights, including without limitation all fees and charges of outside patent counsel. Patent Expenses shall be considered to be incurred when the fee, charge, expense, or cost is actually incurred (rather than when it is invoiced).

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Second Amendment to License Agreement (“Second Amendment”) is effective as of the date of the last signature on the signature page between the UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE (“UMB”), a constituent institution of the University System of Maryland, a public corporation and an instrumentality of the State of Maryland, and TOKAI PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”). Company and UMB are referred to collectively as the “Parties” and each as a “Party.”

BACKGROUND

UMB and Company entered into a Master License Agreement, effective as of May 9, 2006 (“MLA”) and first amended March 3, 2009, under which Company received an exclusive worldwide license to practice the Patent Rights. (Any capitalized term which is not otherwise defined in this Second Amendment shall have the meaning set forth in the MLA.)

A valuable invention generally known as “CYP17 Inhibitor VN/124-1 Inhibits Growth of Androgen Independent Prostate Cancer Cells via Induction of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response” (UMB ref: VN-2008-067) has been made by Xx. Xxxxxxx Njar, Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, and Dr. Xxxxxx Xxxxx, which x constitutes an Improvement pursuant to the MLA.

Company has duly exercised its Option to receive a license to the Improvement, pursuant to Section 3.6 of the MLA. The Parties have negotiated in good faith to enter into this Second Amendment to add the Improvement to the Patent Rights under the MLA, such that the invention will henceforth constitute a Licensed Improvement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Second Amendment.

Since entering into the MLA, UMB has been solely responsible for preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the Patent Rights. Company has requested the right to assume responsibility for patent prosecution upon execution of this Second Amendment.

The Parties agree to amend the MLA as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Article 2 (Definitions) of the MLA is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “CVIP.” Any reference in the MLA to “CVIP” shall hereafter be amended to be a reference to “XXX.” Article 2 (Definitions) of the MLA is further amended by adding the following definitions:

“ER Stress Response Licensed Product”: Any product (including without limitation any Combination Product) whose manufacture, use, Sale or import would infringe, or any process whose practice would infringe, the ER Stress Response Patent Rights.

“ER Stress Response Patent Rights”: The Patent Rights set forth in Part C of Schedule A.

“XXX”: The Office of Technology Transfer in UMB’s Office of Research and Development, and any successor to its responsibilities.

2. Schedule A (Patent Rights) of the MLA is hereby amended by adding the following:

[**]

3. Section 6.1 of the MLA is hereby deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following:

6.1 Patent Prosecution Responsibility and General Issues.

6.1.1 On and after the date of execution of this Second Amendment, Company shall assume sole responsibility for preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the Patent Rights (including without limitation defense of the Patent Rights in an interference proceeding).

6.1.2 UMB and Company shall not be liable for any loss, in whole or in part, of a patent term extension granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on a patent issuing under Patent Rights, even if such loss resulted from the acts or omissions of UMB, UMB Personnel working under their direction or supervision, Company, Company Personnel, or Company’s patent counsel.

6.1.3 Following execution of this Second Amendment, the Patent Rights will be prepared, prosecuted, filed, and maintained by Company’s current independent patent counsel. However, Company shall change patent counsel if reasonably requested by UMB. Company’s choice of outside patent counsel is subject to UMB’s prior approval, which approval must not be unreasonably withheld. Outside patent counsel will be ultimately responsible to Company. Company authorizes UMB to communicate directly with Company’s outside patent counsel.

6.1.4 Company shall (and shall instruct outside patent counsel to) (i) advise UMB promptly as to all material developments with respect to the Patent Rights, and (ii) promptly provide copies of all communications received and filed in connection with prosecution of Patent Rights.

6.1.5 Company shall promptly notify UMB, and Company shall instruct outside patent counsel to promptly notify UMB, before taking any substantive actions in prosecuting the Claims. UMB may provide comments and suggestions with respect to any substantive actions to be taken by Company, and comment on the type and scope of Claims and the nature of supporting disclosures. Company shall reasonably consider all comments and suggestions and shall take all prosecution actions reasonably recommended by UMB.

6.1.6 Company shall not do any of the following with respect to the Patent Rights, except upon prior approval of UMB: materially modify or limit the scope of patent coverage; modify the identification of inventors; or finally abandon any patent or patent application.

6.1.7 If UMB and Company do not agree on actions relating to the scope of patent coverage for any of the Patent Rights reasonably recommended to Company by UMB under Section 6.1.5, then UMB may terminate immediately Company’s right to prosecute the patent application(s) involved, and in such case UMB may continue prosecution using its own independent counsel. Before UMB terminates the Company’s right to prosecute the patent application(s) involved, UMB shall reasonably consider any comments provided by Company regarding prosecution of the Claims.

6.1.8 All information exchanged between the parties or between Company’s outside patent counsel and UMB regarding preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of the Patent Rights shall be deemed Confidential Information. In addition, the parties acknowledge and agree that, with regard to such preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Patent Rights, the interests of the parties as licensor and licensee are to obtain the strongest and broadest patent protection possible. The parties agree and acknowledge that they have not waived, and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of, any legal privilege concerning the Patent Rights, including without limitation privilege under the common interest doctrine and similar or related doctrines. “

4. Section 6.2 of the MLA is hereby deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following:

6.2 Foreign Patent Prosecution.

6.2.1 If Company gives at least [**] days prior written notice to UMB, Company may elect to discontinue support for Patent Expenses with respect to any particular Patent Right, but UMB’s written consent shall be required prior to discontinuing support for Patent Expenses in the United States, Japan, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany or Spain. Company shall be responsible for reasonable Patent Expenses incurred in that [**] day period with respect to the county or countries where the Company is ceasing support. From and after UMB’s receipt of Company’s notice, Company’s rights in Patent Rights will terminate with respect to the country or countries where

Company is ceasing support, and Company shall execute such documents as reasonably may be requested by UMB to confirm termination of Company’s rights.

6.2.2 UMB may elect to file and prosecute patent applications, solely at its own expense, in foreign countries where Company has declined or failed to pay Patent Expenses for such patent applications. If UMB so elects, in those countries, Company will have no input into patenting decisions, no license rights with respect to those Patent Rights, and no Option rights with respect to related Improvements.

5. Section 6.3 of the MLA is hereby deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following:

6.3 Patent Expenses.

6.3.1 Company shall be solely responsible for all Patent Expenses. Company shall reimburse UMB for Patent Expenses which were incurred prior to the execution of this Second Amendment, resulted from instructions given by Company prior to that date, or otherwise were incurred by UMB as agreed between the Parties or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Company shall pay each undisputed invoice for Patent Expenses in full within [**] days after the date of invoice.

6.3.2 If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than expiration, Company will have no obligation to pay Patent Expenses related to Patent Rights incurred by UMB for patent filing and prosecution activities occurring more than [**] days after Company’s notice of termination, and no obligation to pursue prosecution of patent applications related to Patent Rights and pay related Patent Expenses for more than [**] days following notice of termination. UMB will act in good faith to minimize the Patent Expenses incurred between receipt of notice of termination and the end of the [**] day period.

6. In consideration of the license granted under this Second Amendment, Company agrees to pay a one-time, non-refundable license fee of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) to UMB on or before execution of this Second Amendment.

7. Except as specifically modified in this Second Amendment, all terms and conditions of the MLA (including without limitation the royalty rate and other payment obligations of Company) shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Party has caused this Second Amendment to be executed under seal by its duly authorized representative.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Third Amendment to License Agreement (“Third Amendment”) is effective as of the date of the last signature on the signature page hereto and is between the UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE (“UMB”), a constituent institution of the University System of Maryland, a public corporation and an instrumentality of the State of Maryland, and TOKAI PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”). Company and UMB are referred to collectively as the “Parties” and each as a “Party.”

BACKGROUND

UMB and Company entered into a Master License Agreement, effective as of May 9, 2006, as amended (“MLA”), under which Company received an exclusive worldwide license to practice the Patent Rights. (Any capitalized term which is not otherwise defined in this Third Amendment shall have the meaning set forth in the MLA.)

A valuable invention generally known as “Androgen Receptor Down-regulating Agents for the Treatment of All Forms of Prostate Cancer” (UMB ref: VN-2013-061) (the “ARDA Invention”) has been made by Xxxxxxx Njar, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (all employees of UMB and formerly of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx University), Xxxxxx X. Kwegyir-Xxxxx (an employee of UMB), and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (an employee of University of Maryland, Eastern Shore), which constitutes an Improvement pursuant to the MLA.

UMB, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx University, and the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore each own an undivided joint interest in the ARDA Invention. UMB has been granted the exclusive right to negotiate, execute, and administer any license agreement related to the ARDA Invention on behalf of the co-owning institutions, pursuant to an Inter-Institutional Agreement dated as of June 30, 2013 (the “IIA”), a fully-executed copy of which is attached to this Third Amendment as Exhibit A.

Company has duly exercised its Option to receive a license to the Improvement, pursuant to Section 3.6 of the MLA. The Parties have negotiated in good faith to enter into this Third Amendment to add exclusive rights of all co-owners of the Improvement to the Patent Rights under the MLA, such that the ARDA Invention will henceforth constitute a Licensed Improvement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Third Amendment.

Company desires to retain its license rights with respect to the Oral Prodrug Patent Rights. However, Company has requested, and UMB has agreed, to delete the requirement of achieving diligence milestones with respect to Oral Prodrug Licensed Products, because development of an oral prodrug will likely not be required for clinical development and commercialization of a Licensed Product.

The Parties agree to amend the MLA as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Article 2 (Definitions) of the MLA is hereby amended by adding the following definitions:

“ARDA Licensed Product”: Any product (including without limitation any Combination Product) whose manufacture, use. Sale or import would infringe, or any process whose practice would infringe, the ARDA Patent Rights.

“ARDA Patent Rights”: The Patent Rights set forth in Part D of Schedule A.

2. A new Section 4.4 is added to the MLA as follows:

4.4 ARDA Licensed Products. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

4.4.1 Within [**] years from the effective date of this Third Amendment, Company shall submit to UMB (a) an R&D Plan reasonably acceptable to UMB, showing the amount of money and time budgeted and planned for technical development of the ARDA Patent Rights, and (b) a Business Plan reasonably acceptable to UMB, showing the proposed commercialization scheme for ARDA Licensed Products. Alternatively, Company may elect to terminate the license granted hereunder with respect to the ARDA Patent Rights.

4.4.2 If Company submits the R&D Plan and Business Plan contemplated in Section 4.4.1, upon approval by UMB, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith appropriate amendments to Schedule B (Diligence Milestones) to add diligence milestones for development and commercialization of ARDA Licensed Products.

4.4.3 If Company submits the R&D Plan and Business Plan contemplated in Section 4.4.1, thereafter Company shall provide prompt written notice to UMB if and when: (a) Company elects to discontinue efforts under the R&D Plan and the Business Plan with respect to ARDA Patent Rights and ARDA Licensed Products: or (b) Company determines that it is not technically or commercially feasible to develop and/or commercialize ARDA Licensed Products.

4.4.4 Upon receipt of the notice contemplated in Section 4.4.3, UMB may, within [**] days after receipt, either: (a) convert the license granted hereunder with respect to ARDA Patent Rights to a nonexclusive license; or (b) terminate the license granted hereunder with respect to ARDA Patent Rights; provided, however, if the notice contemplated in Section 4.4.3 states that the Company has determined that it is not technically or commercially feasible to develop and/or commercialize ARDA Licensed Products, then UMB may only

convert the license granted hereunder with respect to ARDA Patent Rights to a non-exclusive license.

3. Schedule A (Patent Rights) of the MLA is hereby amended by adding the following:

[**]

4. Schedule B (Diligence Milestones) of the MLA is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety the section related to the Oral Prodrug Licensed Products.

5. UMB hereby represents that, as of the effective date of this Third Amendment, the IIA has been executed by duly authorized representatives of each of the parties thereto and that the IIA is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

6. In consideration of the license granted under this Third Amendment, Company agrees to pay a one-time, non-refundable license fee of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) to UMB within [**] business days of the execution of this Third Amendment by both parties.

7. Except as specifically modified in this Third Amendment, all terms and conditions of the MLA (including without limitation the royalty rate and other payment obligations of Company) shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Party has caused this Third Amendment to be executed under seal by its duly authorized representative.

2.4 Confidentiality. The parties agree to abide by the terms and conditions of Schedule B regarding Confidential Information.

ARTICLE 3. PATENT PROSECUTION

3.1 Prosecution.

3.1.1 In the event that the Joint Invention is licensed to Tokai pursuant to the Tokai MLA and the Tokai MLA is in effect, UMB shall have the sole discretion to make decisions with respect to patent applications and patent preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. UMB may retain legal counsel of its choosing.

3.1.2 It is understood that Tokai has been granted the right to control patent prosecution, pursuant to the terms of the Tokai MLA. UMB will promptly advise UMES and TJU if it receives information from Tokai or its outside patent counsel of material developments with respect to the Patent Rights regarding the Joint Invention. If UMB receives any communications in connection with prosecution of Patent Rights regarding the Joint Invention, UMB will promptly provide copies of the same to UMES and TJU.

3.1.3 If UMB has an opportunity to provide comments and suggestions with respect to any substantive actions to be taken by Tokai with respect to the Patent Rights regarding the Joint Invention, or to comment on the type and scope of claims and the nature of supporting disclosures, it will solicit comments and suggestions from TJU and UMES. UMB will forward any such comments and suggestions which UMB receives from TJU and/or UMES.

3.1.4(a) In the event that the Tokai MLA is no longer in effect or that the Joint Invention is no longer licensed to Tokai pursuant to the Tokai MLA, UMB shall have the sole discretion to make decisions with respect to patent applications and patent preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.1.4.

(b) If Section 3.1.4(a) is applicable, UMB shall consult with, incorporate reasonable input from, and keep UMES and TJU informed as to the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all applicable patent applications and patents. UMB shall send UMES and TJU copies of formal correspondence with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and with any foreign patent office concerning the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all applicable patent applications and patents.

(c) If UMB desires to discontinue prosecution of any patent application or maintenance of any patent within any country, it shall first give written notice of its intent to UMES and TJU at least sixty (60) days prior to the next applicable deadline. UMES and/or TJU may assume responsibility for paying Patent Expenses in that country by providing written notice to UMB at least thirty (30) days prior to the next applicable deadline. In that event, UMES and/or TJU, as the case may be, shall thereafter be responsible at its sole expense

in that country for patent prosecution or maintenance of those Patent Rights. Any party who is not responsible for paying Patent Expenses in that country thereby relinquishes rights to revenues resulting from those Patent Rights within such country.

3.2 Patent Expenses.

3.2.1 Under the Tokai MLA, Tokai is responsible to pay Patent Expenses. If any Patent Expenses are not otherwise reimbursed or reimbursable under the Tokai MLA, each party shall be responsible for a portion of Patent Expenses in proportion to the number of Inventors of the Joint Invention from each party’s institution, as follows: [REDACTED]

3.2.2 UMB may advance Patent Expenses, and may invoice TJU and UMES for its share. TJU and UMES shall reimburse UMB within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice therefor. UMB shall maintain adequate records showing all Patent Expenses incurred. These records shall be made available to TJU and UMES for inspection on reasonable notice.

3.3 Consultation and Notice. UMB shall consult with and keep TJU and UMES informed as to the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all applicable patent applications and patents. UMB shall send TJU and UMES copies of formal correspondence with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and with any foreign patent office concerning the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all applicable patent applications and patents.

ARTICLE 4. LICENSING OF THE JOINT INVENTION

4.1 Licensing.

4.1.1 UMB shall have the sole right, on behalf of the parties, to grant a license to the Joint Invention to Tokai, as an amendment to the Tokai MLA, on terms and conditions to be negotiated by UMB.

4.1.2 UMB shall be responsible for assuring compliance by Tokai in accordance with the terms of the Tokai MLA, for otherwise enforcing the Tokai MLA, and for protecting the rights of the parties pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement. UMB shall consult with and keep TJU and UMES reasonably promptly informed with respect to all material matters during administration of the Tokai MLA as it relates to the Joint Invention.

ARTICLE 5. LICENSING REVENUE

5.1 UMB shall use reasonable efforts to collect all material amounts due under the Tokai MLA with respect to the Joint Invention. UMB shall calculate: (a) the amount of Gross Income; (b) the amount of each party’s unreimbursed Patent Expenses, (c) the Administrative Fee, and (d) Net Revenues. UMB shall provide a written report of its calculations to TJU and UMES periodically, but no less often than annually. TJU and UMES shall review those calculations and shall notify UMB of any discrepancies within fifteen (15) days after receipt of that report.

5.2 After the parties approve the calculations in accordance with Section 5.1. UMB shall disburse as follows:

5.2.1 First, to each party in an amount necessary to reimburse any outstanding Patent Expenses;

5.2.2 Second, to UMB the Administrative Fee, if applicable; and

5.2.3 Then, remaining Net Revenues shall be disbursed as follows:

(a) If the Net Revenues are specifically allocable to the Joint Invention, remaining Net Revenues shall be disbursed [REDACTED]; or

(b) If the Net Revenues are not specifically allocable to the Joint Invention, remaining Net Revenues shall be disbursed [REDACTED]; or

provided, however, if the Tokai MLA is further amended such that there are a different total number of licensed technologies, then the parties will negotiate reasonably and in good faith a different sharing of Net Revenues than that set forth in this Section 5.2.3.

5.3 UMB shall pay to TJU and UMES its share of Net Revenues concurrently with the distributions it makes to its own Inventors, but in any case no later than June 30 for the preceding calendar year.

5.4 Each party shall be responsible for distributing a portion of its respective share of Net Revenues to its Inventor(s), as required.

5.5 During the term of this Agreement and for [**] years after its expiration or termination, UMB shall keep (and shall require Tokai to keep) complete, true, and accurate records containing all the particulars that may be necessary to determine Net Revenues, the Administrative Fee, Patent Expenses, or other amounts payable under this Agreement. The records shall be subject to inspection at any time during regular business hours upon reasonable notice by an independent auditor appointed by TJU or UMES for this purpose and reasonably acceptable to UMB. The auditor shall report only the amount of Net Revenues, Administrative Fees, Patent Expenses, or other amounts payable under this Agreement. This audit shall be at TJU’s or UMES’ expense; provided, however, if the audit shows an underpayment often percent (10%) or more, the audit expense shall be payable by UMB.

ARTICLE 6. INFRINGEMENT

6.1 Management of Proceedings.

6.1.1 If a party has knowledge of or reasonable grounds to suspect any infringement of the Patent Rights, it shall promptly provide notice to the other parties. If required by the Tokai MLA, UMB shall be responsible to provide notice of infringement to Tokai.

6.1.2 Pursuant to the Tokai MLA, Tokai in its own name, at its own expense, and on its own behalf may bring suit for any infringement, or defend a suit alleging invalidity or non-infringement of the Patent Rights. In that event, UMB shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that Tokai manages the proceedings related to the infringement according to the terms of the Tokai MLA. If a suit is filed or defended by Tokai, each party may join in the suit at its own expense, but otherwise the parties shall take no action with respect to the infringement.

6.1.3 If (a) Tokai fails to take actions regarding the infringement required by the Tokai MLA, or (c) Tokai provides notice to UMB that Tokai has decided not to take any action, the parties shall by mutual agreement determine which party will be primarily responsible for attempting to terminate the infringement. If the parties are unable to agree in a timely manner, UMB shall be primarily responsible. The designated party shall use reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the other party and to the extent permitted by the Tokai MLA, to terminate the infringement without litigation.

6.1.4 If the infringement is not eliminated within [**] days after notice to the infringer, and if Tokai will not be instituting suit or managing the proceedings (as set forth in Section 6.1.3), each party shall have the right after consulting with the other parties to: (a) commence suit on its own account; (b) join with the other parties and/or Tokai in that suit; or (c) refuse to participate in that suit.

6.1.5 Each party agrees to cooperate in any infringement proceeding instituted under this Agreement. An infringement proceeding (including any settlement) shall be controlled by the party bringing the suit; provided, however, that UMB shall control the suit if brought jointly, unless UMB joins only as a nominal plaintiff. Each party shall request its Inventor(s) and other relevant personnel to cooperate with and to assist to the extent reasonably required in connection with any infringement proceeding.

6.2 Expenses and Recoveries.

6.2.1 If the parties join in any suit for infringement solely regarding the Joint Invention: (a) [REDACTED] (including without limitation counsel fees, expert witness fees, and discovery costs); and (b) all recoveries received [REDACTED].

6.2.2 If the parties join in any suit for infringement which regards the Joint Invention in addition to any other technology(ies) (including without limitation the UMB Technologies), the parties shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith a different sharing of expenses and recoveries.

6.2.3 Any party bringing a suit on its own account shall be solely responsible for all litigation expenses incurred in connection with that action, and shall be entitled to retain all recoveries as a result of that action.

ARTICLE 7. TERM AND TERMINATION

7.1 Term. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Article 7, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect until the later of: (a) the date of expiration of the last to

expire of the claims of the Patent Rights; (b) ten (10) years after the Effective Date); or (c) the expiration or termination of the Tokai MLA if they extend beyond clause (a) and (b) (the “Term”).

7.2 Unilateral Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement by giving ninety (90) days notice to the other party.

7.3 Termination Upon Default. If a party defaults in the performance of any material obligation under this Agreement, and the default has not been remedied to the other parties’ reasonable satisfaction within sixty (60) days after the date of written notice of that default, the non-defaulting parties may by written notice to the defaulting party terminate this Agreement effective immediately.

7.4 Effect of Termination.

7.4.1 Termination or expiration of this Agreement does not relieve any party of any obligation which arises before expiration or termination, including without limitation any obligation to distribute Net Revenues, to reimburse Patent Expenses, and to cooperate and share expenses for pursuit of infringement. Any provision of this Agreement which contemplates performance or observance subsequent to any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect.

7.4.2 Termination or expiration shall not affect the Tokai MLA. The applicable provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the Tokai MLA, notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

7.4.3 In addition, upon any termination or expiration:

(a) Each party shall continue to own an undivided joint interest in the Joint Invention and the related Patent Rights.

SCHEDULE A

PATENT RIGHTS

[**]

SCHEDULE B

STANDARD CONFIDENTIALITY PROVISIONS

1. General Restrictions on Use and Disclosure.

1.1 A party (“Provider”) may disclose Confidential Information to the other party (“Recipient”). For a period of [**] years following the disclosure, Recipient shall hold the Confidential Information in confidence, and may disclose or use the Confidential Information only as permitted by this Agreement. Recipient shall not use Provider’s Confidential Information for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Provider, UMB, TJU, and UMES each shall have the right to use the Confidential Information for its own Non-Commercial Uses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party is permitted to disclose the Confidential Information to the extent reasonably necessary to market the Joint Invention and to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, provided that any disclosure is made subject to confidentiality restrictions consistent with those in this Agreement.

1.2 Recipient shall use the level of care to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of Provider’s Confidential Information that Recipient exercises in preventing the unauthorized use or disclosure of its own Confidential Information. Recipient may disclose Provider’s Confidential Information only to its personnel who have a need to know or require access to the Confidential Information for the purposes permitted by this Agreement. Any Confidential Information that would identify human research subjects or patients shall be maintained confidentially in accordance with applicable law.

1.3 UMB, TJU, and UMES are educational institutions with practices for protection of Confidential Information which differ from industry standards and practices. Each party shall only be required to use reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the practices used by that party to protect its own Confidential Information.

2. Permitted Use and Disclosure.

2.1 The confidentiality obligations created by this Agreement shall not apply if and to the extent that: (a) the information is generally available to the public (other than through Recipient’s breach of this Agreement, any other agreement, or applicable law, or any unauthorized act by the Recipient); (b) the information was already in the possession of Recipient at the time of the disclosure (other than pursuant to a confidential disclosure agreement or any unauthorized act by Recipient); (c) the information is or was developed by Recipient independent of and with no reliance upon information of Provider or any other information furnished to Recipient by Provider under obligation of confidentiality; (d) the disclosure or use is reasonably necessary to fulfill or comply with requirements of governmental authorities having jurisdiction, including without limitation the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and foreign equivalents of the foregoing; or (e) disclosure is required by law.

2.2 In the event of disclosure pursuant to clauses (d) or (e) of Section 2.1, Recipient shall use reasonable efforts to give Provider prior written notice of disclosure. Recipient, consistent with its counsel’s advice, shall take reasonable and lawful actions to obtain confidential treatment for disclosed information of the Provider and to minimize the extent of the disclosure, or allow Provider the opportunity to take those actions.

2.3 Nothing in this Agreement contained shall preclude a party from disclosing to Tokai those aspects of the Joint Invention necessary to evaluate and/or practice the Patent Rights in a limited role as licensee. Any disclosure to Tokai of Confidential Information shall be contingent upon execution by Tokai of a non-disclosure agreement substantially on the terms set forth in this Schedule B. In the event of a dispute as to the applicability of this Section 2, the burden of proof shall be upon Recipient to demonstrate permissibility of disclosure or use.

3. Markings and Legends. Provider shall use reasonable efforts to xxxx all Confidential Information disclosed to Recipient as “Confidential.” If the Confidential Information is not in written or tangible form and marked “Confidential” when disclosed, Provider shall use reasonable efforts to summarize the information in writing, marked as “Confidential”, and to provide the summary to Recipient within [**] days after disclosure of the Confidential Information to Recipient. To the extent Recipient has actual knowledge that information is Confidential Information, failure to meet the marking requirements shall not affect Recipient’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement.

4. Public Information Act. This Agreement and Confidential Information provided to UMB or UMES under this Agreement is a public record when in the possession of UMB or UMES. It may be subject to inspection pursuant to the Public Information Act (§10-611 et seq., State Government Article, Annotated Code of Maryland) (the “Public Information Act”). If TJU asserts that any Confidential Information provided under this Agreement is a trade secret, confidential financial information, confidential unpublished scientific information, or confidential commercial information, which is exempt from disclosure under the Public Information Act, then UMB and/or UMES shall assert in response to any request for inspection of TJU’s Confidential Information that inspection should be denied pursuant to § 10-617(d) of the Public Information Act, unless UMB and/or UMES determines on the advice of its counsel that TJU’s position is not reasonable.

5. Government and Sponsor Rights. Confidential Information may have been developed under a grant or contract or in collaboration with the U.S. Government, state governments, research sponsors, or other entities. They may have rights in Confidential Information and may have the right to license or use Confidential Information, Patent Rights, and/or Licensed Products. Upon written request, each party shall provide the other party with further information about any sponsor’s or collaborator’s rights, subject to confidentiality obligations.

6. Export Control Laws. To the best of its knowledge, Discloser shall notify Recipient, prior to disclosing any Confidential Information, whether the information being disclosed is subject to any restrictions or controls imposed by the Arms Export Control Act; the Export Administration Act of 1979; the International Traffic in Arms Regulations; the Export Administration Regulations; or any other rules or regulations pertaining to restrictions on use or

disclosure of goods, information, or technology, of any applicable governmental agency (collectively, the “Export Control Laws”). Recipient shall use reasonable efforts to prevent Confidential Information and any direct product thereof from being used for any purpose prohibited by the Export Control Laws, and to cause uses of that Confidential Information to comply with the Export Control Laws.

7. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Recipient shall either return or destroy Discloser’s Confidential Information, together with all copies and other forms of reproduction, and shall provide written notice to Discloser of same. However, Recipient may retain one copy of Discloser’s Confidential Information in the event of any question or dispute concerning Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement. If and to the extent any regulatory agency requests access to a party’s files after the return of such Confidential Information to the Provider, the party responding to the request may either refer that agency to the Provider, or the Provider shall grant limited access again to such materials to allow compliance with the request.
