6.1.2Execution of Notes. Promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the occurrence of the Success Payment Trigger, Opthea shall execute and deliver to each Investor a Note in the principal amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Fixed Return Cap in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L (collectively, the “Notes”).

6.2Variable Success Payments; Quarterly Reports.

6.2.1From and after First Commercial Sale until Investors have received Success Payments equal, in the aggregate, to the Fixed Return Cap, Opthea shall pay to Investors, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, the Variable Success Payment for each Calendar Quarter promptly, but in any event no later than (a) [***] calendar days ([***] calendar days if a Commercialization License has been granted) after the end of each of the first three Calendar Quarters in each Calendar Year and (b) [***] calendar days ([***] calendar days if a Commercialization License has been granted) after the end of the last Calendar Quarter in each Calendar Year.

6.2.2 Concurrently with the payment of each Variable Success Payment, Opthea shall deliver a written report (the “Quarterly Report”) to each Investor setting forth, in reasonable detail: (a) (i) the calculation of the Variable Success Payment payable in respect of the last ended Calendar Quarter, (ii) on a country-by-country basis, the number of units of the Product sold by Opthea and its Affiliates and, to the extent available, each counterparty to any Commercialization License, (iii) gross sales generated by or on behalf of Opthea and any of its Affiliates and each counterparty to any Commercialization License, (iv) foreign currency exchange rates used (which shall be rates of exchange determined in a manner consistent with Opthea’s method for calculating rates of exchange in the preparation of Opthea’s annual financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards), (v) a detailed break-down of all permitted deductions from gross sales used to determine Net Sales and the Variable Success Payment in respect of the last ended Calendar Quarter and (vi) the cumulative year-to-date aggregate Net Sales for the Product through the end of the last ended Calendar Quarter; and (b) the Commercial Updates. The Quarterly Report shall

-37-

also have attached to it copies of any royalty reports or similar communications with respect to Net Sales received by Opthea from the Commercialization Partners to any Commercialization License.

6.2.3Opthea shall include in each Commercialization License a provision requiring the Commercialization Partner to such Commercialization License to prepare and maintain reasonably complete and accurate records of the information to be disclosed in each Quarterly Report, and to disclose such information to Opthea to enable the disclosures of such information in each Quarterly Report, as contemplated herein. Opthea shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain in a timely manner from each such Third Party any information to be disclosed in each Quarterly Report.

6.3Adjustment for Change in Development Costs. In the event that the actual Development Costs paid by Investors hereunder are lower or greater than One Hundred and Seventy Million U.S. Dollars ($170,000,000) (including as a result of Investors paying to Opthea the Going Concern Funding or Minimum Cash Make-Whole Funding), each Fixed Success Payment and the Fixed Return Cap will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such actual Development Costs paid to Opthea by Investors hereunder and the denominator of which is One Hundred and Seventy Million U.S. Dollars ($170,000,000).

6.4Method and Timing of Payment. Fixed Success Payments will be due as of the applicable dates set forth in Section ‎6.1. Variable Success Payments will be due as of the quarterly payment dates set forth in Section ‎6.2.1. All Success Payments shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by each Investor in writing to Opthea from time to time. Opthea will provide each Investor with written notice of each wire transfer to such Investor’s account. All amounts payable and calculations under this Agreement will be in U.S. Dollars.

6.5Late Payments. If Opthea fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement on the due date therefore, then, without prejudice to any other remedies that Investors or Collateral Agent or their respective designees may have, such amount will bear interest from the due date until payment of such amount is made, both before and after any judgment, at a rate equal to the higher of (a) [***] and (b) [***] for the actual number of days payment is delinquent or if such rate exceeds the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law, at such maximum rate.

6.6Taxes.

6.6.1Tax Treatment.

6.6.1.1 The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement is not intended to be treated as or create a partnership or joint venture between the Parties for any applicable Tax purposes; (ii) as of the date hereof, a portion of each Investor Payment will be subject to a Tax Deduction under Australian Law in an amount equal to (A), in the case of a Fixed Success Payment, the amount by which such payment exceeds the Repayment Amount (with the Repayment Amount for each Fixed Success Payment being calculated based on the percentage that the Fixed Success Payment bears to the total Fixed Success

-38-

Payments) and (B), in the case of a Variable Success Payment, the entire amount of the payment; and (iii) as of the date hereof, Investor Payments would only be subject to any Tax Deduction under Australian Law described by subclause (ii) above. The Parties agree to file all Tax returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing, and not take any position, whether in any Tax return, audit, examination, adjustment or action with respect to a Tax, which is inconsistent with such treatment, unless required by a final determination of an applicable Tax authority or a change in Applicable Law.

6.6.1.2 The Parties also agree that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local Tax purposes, (i) the execution of the Notes is intended to be treated as a realization event for Investors and (ii) the Notes are intended to be treated as a debt instrument issued by Opthea that is subject to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4(c).

6.6.2Withholding.

6.6.2.1 Opthea shall make all Investor Payments under this Agreement without any Tax Deduction unless such Tax Deduction is required by Applicable Law.

6.6.2.2 Opthea shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Investors accordingly.

6.6.2.3 If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by Opthea, except in relation to a FATCA Deduction, Opthea must pay an additional amount to the Investor in respect of which such Tax Deduction is imposed, together with the applicable Investor Payment so that, after making any Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Investor affected by such Tax Deduction receives an amount equal to the Investor Payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction or payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction had been required.

6.6.2.4 If Opthea is required to make a Tax Deduction, Opthea shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

6.6.2.5 Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, Opthea shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Investor affected by such Tax Deduction evidence satisfactory to such Investor, acting reasonably, that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

6.6.3Tax Indemnity.

-39-

6.6.3.1 Opthea shall (within three Business Days of demand by an Investor) pay to such Investor an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which such Investor reasonably determines has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Withholding Tax owed by such Investor in respect of an Investor Payment on account of Opthea’s failure to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section ‎6.6.2.3 or make payments required in connection with a Tax Deduction to a relevant taxing authorities pursuant to Section ‎6.6.2.4.

6.6.3.2 Section ‎6.6.3.1 shall not apply to the extent the relevant loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased Investor Payment under Section ‎6.6.2.3.

6.6.4Tax Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate to provide and update, if necessary, any applicable forms, certifications or other information requested by any other Party that the first Party is reasonably and legally able to provide to reduce or eliminate any Tax Deduction or to support the intended tax treatment of any Investor Payment under Applicable Law or any applicable Tax treaty or convention as provided in Section 6.6.1. Each Party shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation to any other Party, at such other Party’s expense, in connection with any official or unofficial Tax audit or contest relating to Investor Payments or any Tax payments made with respect to amounts paid or payable to such other Party under this Agreement, including pursuant to Section ‎6.6.2 or ‎6.6.3.

6.7Accelerated Payments.

6.7.1Approval Buy-Out Option. Opthea shall have the right (the “Approval Buy-Out Option”) to make a one-time payment (an “Approval Buy-Out Payment”) in lieu of all Success Payments (as adjusted in accordance with Section ‎6.2.2) by written notice delivered to Investors no later than [***] after the date of the Success Payment Trigger, which written notice shall set forth the amount of the applicable Approval Buy-Out Payment, the proposed date of closing (which shall occur within [***] after the Success Payment Trigger), and the calculation of the applicable Approval Buy-Out Payment in reasonable detail based upon the proposed closing date. For purposes of this Section ‎6.7.1, the Variable Success Payments are deemed to be the amounts set forth on Schedule ‎6.7.1, payable on the dates set forth on Schedule ‎6.7.1. The Approval Buy-Out Payment will be equal to the present value of future Fixed Success Payments and the Variable Success Payments calculated as follows: [***].

The Approval Buy-Out Payment will be payable in one installment to each Investor, in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, in cash at the closing to the accounts specified by each Investor. The discount rate used to calculate the Approval Buy-Out Payment shall be [***] (the “Discount Rate”).

6.7.2General Buy-Out Option. Opthea may, regardless of whether any Success Payment Trigger has been achieved, propose to Investors that Opthea make a one-time payment (the “General Buy-Out Option” and such payment, the “General Buy-Out Payment”) in lieu of all Success Payments that are payable or could become payable in the future by written proposal delivered to Investors (the “General Buy-Out Notice”). For purposes of this Section ‎6.7.2, the Variable Success Payments are deemed to be the amounts set forth on Schedule ‎6.7.1, payable on

-40-

the dates set forth on Schedule ‎6.7.1. In each case, each Fixed Success Payment shall be as adjusted in accordance with Section ‎6.3 and each such written proposal shall set forth the amount to be paid by Opthea to Investors, the proposed date of closing (which shall occur within [***] after delivery of such written proposal, subject to acceptance of such written proposal by the Required Investors), the discount rate that Opthea proposes to apply to such General Buy-Out Payment (the “Proposed Discount Rate”) and the calculation of the General Buy-Out Payment in reasonable detail. The Required Investors shall have the right, on behalf of all Investors, to determine whether to accept such written proposal. Within [***] following receipt of such written proposal, the Required Investors shall notify Opthea in writing whether or not such written proposal is accepted, which acceptance shall be binding on all Investors. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Required Investors do not accept such written proposal, Opthea may deliver a revised written proposal to Investors, such that Opthea is not limited in the number of written proposals that may be made to Investors.

Each General Buy-Out Payment will be equal to the present value of the applicable future Success Payments calculated as follows: [***].

Any General Buy-Out Payment will be payable in one installment to each Investor, in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, in cash at the closing to the accounts specified by each Investor.

6.7.3Change of Control Payment. Opthea will notify Investors in writing promptly (and in any event within four (4) Business Days) following the entering into of a definitive agreement with respect to a Change of Control. Within [***] days following the closing of a Change of Control, Opthea (or its successor) shall pay to each Investor an amount in cash equal to [***] of Development Costs paid by such Investor hereunder prior to such Change of Control, net of any Success Payments already made to such Investor (and/or, if applicable, its assignee) (such payment, the “Change of Control Payment”). The Change of Control Payment, if any, shall be credited (a) first, toward future Fixed Success Payments starting with the next Fixed Success Payment to be paid and (b) second, if the Change of Control Payment is greater than the total future Fixed Success Payments, toward future Variable Success Payments. For avoidance of doubt, following a Change of Control prior to receipt of Regulatory Approval for the Product, Opthea or its successor will be obligated to continue to exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and obtain Regulatory Approval as set forth herein (including in Section ‎3.7).

6.8Success Payment Assignment.

6.8.1In the event that Opthea does not exercise the Approval Buy-Out Option, [***].

-42-

any and all Proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty payable to Opthea from time to time with respect to any of the foregoing.

7.1.2Priority of Security Interest. Opthea represents, warrants and covenants that, subject to Collateral Agent making and maintaining any filings and actions, including a separate grant in respect of commercial tort claims, necessary to achieve such perfection, the security interests in the Collateral will be and will at all times thereafter continue to be first priority security interests, subject only to the Permitted Liens (the “Investor Security Interests”).

7.1.3Investor Collateral Exclusions. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the Collateral include, and Opthea will not grant and will not be deemed to have granted a security interest in (a) Intellectual Property (other than Product IP) (the “Excluded IP”), (b) any “intent to use trademark applications for which a statement of use has not been filed (but only until such statement is file); (c) any Excluded Accounts, (d) more than 65% of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (or the equivalent thereof) owned by Opthea of any foreign Subsidiary (other than an Eligible Foreign Subsidiary) which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter; or (e) any property to the extent that such grant of security interest is prohibited by any Applicable Law of a Governmental Authority or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent (other than the consent of an Affiliate of Opthea) not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property, except to the extent that such Applicable Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (or any successor provision or provisions); provided, however, that such security interest will attach immediately at such time as such Applicable Law is not effective or applicable, or such prohibition, breach, default or termination is no longer applicable or is waived, and to the extent severable, will attach immediately to any portion of the Collateral that does not result in such consequences; provided, further that exclusions referred to in this Section ‎7.1.3 shall not apply to any Proceeds of any such Collateral.

7.1.4Authorization to File Financing Statements. Subject to the terms of Section ‎7.4.1(b), Opthea hereby irrevocably authorizes Collateral Agent to file, on or at any time from time to time after the Original Effective Date, and Opthea will execute and deliver to Collateral Agent (as applicable), financing statements, amendments to financing statements, continuation financing statements, termination statements, security agreements relating to the Collateral, notices and other documents and instruments, in form satisfactory to Collateral Agent as Collateral Agent or any Investor may reasonably request, to perfect and continue perfection, maintain the priority of, enforce or protect the priority of, or provide notice of Collateral Agent’s and Investors’ security interest in the Collateral and to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement, without notice to Opthea, in all jurisdictions determined by Collateral Agent to be necessary or appropriate. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest granted or purported to be granted in the Collateral to Collateral Agent herein, including describing such property as “all assets other than Intellectual Property that

-43-

is not related to the Product” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired other than Intellectual Property that is not related to the Product” or words of similar effect. Opthea hereby irrevocably authorizes Collateral Agent to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office (and any successor office and any similar office in any United States state or other country) the Intellectual Property Security Agreement and any other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted or purported to be granted in the Collateral to Collateral Agent, without the signature of Opthea where permitted by law, and naming Opthea as debtor, and Collateral Agent as secured party.

7.2Specified Rights and Remedies; Etc.

7.2.1Following the achievement of the Success Payment Trigger, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then without prejudice to any other remedies that Investors or their designees may have, Collateral Agent or the Required Investors, as applicable, in their sole discretion, as applicable, shall have the right, without further notice or demand, to do any or all of the following:

7.2.1.1 accelerate the applicable Success Payments and, upon such acceleration, the applicable Success Payments shall be immediately due and payable;

7.2.1.2 foreclose upon and/or sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral;

7.2.1.3 commence and prosecute an insolvency proceeding or consent to Opthea commencing any insolvency proceeding;

7.2.1.4 notify the account debtors or obligors under any Accounts constituting Collateral of the assignment of such Accounts to Investors, verify the amounts payable thereunder and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Opthea thereunder directly to each Investor, enforce collection of any Accounts constituting Collateral and adjust, settle or compromise disputes and claims directly with any account debtors or obligors for amounts and on terms and in any order that Collateral Agent considers advisable;

7.2.1.5 make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral;

7.2.1.6 ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, and/or advertise for sale the Collateral;

7.2.1.7 if at any time Collateral Agent is the sole control party with respect to any Deposit Account constituting Collateral (e.g., a Deposit Account holding cash proceeds of any Collateral), Collateral Agent may (i)

-44-

deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Deposit Account control agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral and (ii) may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which such Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Investors;

7.2.1.8 demand and receive possession of Opthea books and records, records regarding Opthea assets or liabilities, the Collateral, business operations or financial condition, and all computer programs or storage or any equipment containing such information;

7.2.1.9 appoint a receiver to seize, manage and realize on any of the Collateral, and such receiver shall have any right and authority as any competent court will grant or authorize in accordance with any Applicable Law; and/or

7.2.1.10 exercise all rights and remedies available to Investors under this Agreement or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

7.2.2Marshalling. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Investor shall have any obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

7.2.3Access to Collateral. If prior to the Release Date, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon request by Collateral Agent and at the sole cost and expense of Opthea, Opthea shall assemble the Collateral as directed by Collateral Agent and make it available to Collateral Agent at such location as Collateral Agent reasonably designates. Collateral Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Opthea hereby grants Collateral Agent an irrevocable license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies.

7.2.4Licenses Related to Product. For the purpose of enabling Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section ‎7.2 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral), Opthea hereby grants to Collateral Agent, an irrevocable (until the Release Date), nonexclusive, assignable license (which license may be exercised prior to the Release Date and only so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without payment of royalty or other compensation to Opthea or any of its Subsidiaries), including the right to practice, use, sublicense or otherwise exploit, solely in connection with the Product or other items in the Collateral, any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by Opthea or licensed or sublicensed to Opthea, in each case that is relevant to Product, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof to the extent that such non-exclusive

-45-

license is not prohibited by any Applicable Law; provided that such license and sublicenses with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks; provided, further, that nothing in this Section ‎7.2.4 shall require Opthea to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to Opthea. For clarity, Collateral Agent may exercise such license solely upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon Opthea, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

7.2.5Power of Attorney. Opthea hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact with full authority in the place and stead of Opthea and in the name of Opthea, Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in Collateral Agent’s sole discretion following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default prior to the Release Date, to take any action and to execute any instrument that Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including (i) to endorse Opthea’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) to sign Opthea’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (c) to settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent determines reasonable; (d) to make, settle, and adjust all claims under Opthea’s insurance policies; (e) to pay, contest or settle any Lien charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) to transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent or a third party as the UCC or any Applicable Law permits. The foregoing appointment of Collateral Agent as Opthea’s lawful attorney-in-fact, and Collateral Agent’s rights and powers, are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable, until indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Opthea Obligations.

7.2.6Protective Payments. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing prior to the Release Date, if Opthea fails to pay any amount which Opthea is obligated to pay to a third party with respect to the Collateral or any covenant of Opthea under Article 7 of this Agreement, Collateral Agent may make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent shall constitute Investor Remedy Expenses and be immediately due and payable and secured by the Collateral. Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Opthea with notice of Collateral Agent making such payment at the time it is obtained or paid or within a reasonable time thereafter. No such payments by Investors shall be deemed or otherwise construed to constitute an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

7.2.7Application of Payments and Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied, first, to reimburse Collateral Agent and the Investors for all Investor Remedy Expenses, and, second, to payment of all of Opthea’s payment obligations, including all Opthea Obligations, under this Agreement to each Investor, proportionately in accordance with their Pro Rata Share.

-46-

7.2.8Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Opthea will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Opthea shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

7.2.9Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent employs reasonable practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Collateral Agent, (i) Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, shall not be liable or responsible for: (A) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (B) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (C) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (D) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person; and (ii) Opthea shall bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral. Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Collateral Agent accords its own property.

7.2.10No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Collateral Agent’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Opthea of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Collateral Agent and then shall only be effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Collateral Agent has all rights and remedies provided under the UCC, any Applicable Law, by law, or in equity. Collateral Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Collateral Agent’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

7.3Negative Covenants.

7.3.1Incurrence of Certain Indebtedness. Opthea shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Investors, create, incur, assume, or be liable for any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary of Opthea to do so, other than Permitted Indebtedness.

-47-

7.3.2.2 enter into any agreement, document, instrument or other arrangement (except with or in favor of Investors) with any Person which directly or indirectly prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting Opthea or any Subsidiary of Opthea from assigning, mortgaging, pledging, granting a security interest in or upon or encumbering the Collateral or any Product IP; provided that this Section ‎7.3.2.2 shall not apply to (i) restrictions in connect with any Permitted Liens that limit the right to dispose the assets subject to such Permitted Lien, (ii) any agreements, documents or other arrangement in effect on the Original Effective Date and set forth on Schedule ‎7.3.2.2 and any amendments or modifications thereof that do not expand the scope of any such restriction or condition; (iii) agreements, documents, instruments or other arrangements governing other Permitted Indebtedness; (iv) any Applicable Law; (v) customary non-assignment provisions in agreements, leases and licenses, documents, instruments or other arrangements otherwise permitted under this Agreement; (vi) customary restrictions and conditions contained in any agreement relating to any Disposition not prohibited under this Agreement pending the consummation of such Disposition; (vii) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, partnership agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements permitted under this Agreement, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; (viii) prohibitions, restrictions or conditions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; (ix) any agreement or instrument of, or affecting, any Person or asset existing on or prior to the date on which such Person or asset was acquired by Opthea or any Subsidiary of Opthea (other than any such agreement, document, instrument or arrangement entered into in contemplation of such acquisition); (x) customary provisions contained in leases, sub-leases, Excluded Licensing Transactions and Out-Licenses that are approved by the Required Investors pursuant to Section ‎7.3.4, including with respect to intellectual property, and other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; (xi) customary non-assignment provisions in leases or licenses governing leasehold or license interests to the extent such provisions restrict the transfer of the lease or the property leased or licensed thereunder; (xii) customary restrictions in deposit and security account agreements and agreements relating to Cash Management Services, and (xiii) any amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement document, instrument or arrangement referred to in clauses (i) through (xii) of this Section ‎7.3.2.2; provided, that such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing is not more restrictive, as determined in good faith by Opthea, with respect to such encumbrances and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

(b)At Collateral Agent’s request, Opthea will promptly execute and deliver (or cause any Affiliate to execute and deliver) any and all further instruments and documents and take all such other action as Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to maintain in favor of Investors, Liens on the Collateral that are duly perfected in accordance with the requirements of all Applicable Laws.

Opthea and each of its Subsidiaries will obtain all consents, approvals and authorizations of, make all declarations or filings with, and give all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted, unless such failure could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Development or Commercialization of the Product or to otherwise result in a Material Adverse Event.

The foregoing obligations will not apply to any portion of such information or materials that the Receiving Party can demonstrate:

-52-

9.1.1was publicly disclosed by the Disclosing Party before or after such Confidential Information becomes known to the Receiving Party;

9.1.2was already known to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, other than under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use, prior to when it was received from the Disclosing Party;

9.2Authorized Disclosure. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to any other Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for complying with Applicable Laws, including regulations promulgated by securities exchanges, provided that the Party required to disclose such information promptly notifies the Disclosing Party prior to making any such disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party’s efforts to seek confidential treatment or to otherwise limit disclosure and this section does not permit the disclosure of any information under section 275(4) of the Australian PPSA, unless section 275(7) of the Australian PPSA applies. Each Receiving Party may disclose any other Party’s Confidential Information to its Representatives (and, in the case of Investors, to the Investor LPs), in each case (a) only to the extent such Persons need to know the Confidential Information solely in connection with the performance of this Agreement, and (b) provided that each Person receiving Confidential Information must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as an equivalent in scope to those set forth in this ‎Article 9 prior to any such disclosure and the Party making such disclosure to such Person will be liable to such other Party for any breach of such obligations by such disclosee (provided that a Party’s Representative or an Investor LP will only be bound by the obligations set forth in this ‎Article 9 to the extent that such Representative or Investor LP actually receives such Confidential Information).

In any event, each Party agrees to take all reasonable action to avoid unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information of any other Party hereunder.

-53-

9.3Return of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information (including any copies thereof) in written or other tangible form will, at the Disclosing Party’s direction, be returned to the Disclosing Party or destroyed by the Receiving Party (with such destruction being confirmed in writing by an authorized officer of the Receiving Party), except (i) to the extent such Confidential Information is necessary to exercise any license or rights hereunder that survive such expiration or earlier termination; and (ii) one (1) copy of each document may be retained by the Receiving Party solely to the extent necessary to permit it to comply with any ongoing rights and responsibilities with respect to such Confidential Information or with Applicable Law.

9.5Publicity. The Parties recognize that following the Original Effective Date Ocelot SPV LP and Opthea (either individually or jointly) will issue mutually agreed press release(s) announcing the execution of this Agreement, and thereafter each Party may from time to time desire to issue additional press releases and make other public statements or disclosures regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and hereby agree that such additional press releases, public statements and disclosures regarding the terms of this Agreement will be permitted only with the other Parties’ written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Article 11

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

11.1Indemnification by Each Party.

11.1.1By Investors. Each Investor will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold Opthea, its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (the “Opthea Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by such Opthea Indemnified Party, whether or not involving a claim or demand made by any Person other than Opthea or an Investor or Collateral Agent against an Opthea Indemnified Party or an Investor Indemnified Party, as applicable (a “Third Party Claim”), arising or resulting from (a) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of such Investor in this Agreement or (b) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements made by such Investor in this Agreement. Any amounts due to any Opthea Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable by such Investor to such Opthea Indemnified Party upon demand.

11.1.2By Opthea. Opthea will indemnify and hold each Investor, its Affiliates, its investors and its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (the “Investor Indemnified Parties”), harmless from any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by such Investor Indemnified Party, whether or not involving a Third Party Claim, arising or resulting from (a) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Opthea in this Agreement or (b) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements made by Opthea in this Agreement (provided that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Investor Indemnified Party that results from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Investor Indemnified Party). Any amounts due to any Investor Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable by Opthea to such Investor Indemnified Party upon demand.

11.2Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims.

11.2.1Notice of Claim. A Party believing that it is entitled to indemnification in respect of Losses under Section ‎11.1.1 or Section ‎11.1.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) involving a Third Party Claim will give prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) upon receipt of notice of the commencement of any Third Party Claim for which indemnification may be sought, or if earlier, upon the assertion of any such Third Party Claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section ‎11.2.1 will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice). Each such notice will contain a description of the Third Party Claim and the nature and amount of the Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). The Indemnified Party will furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses.

-58-

11.2.2Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor will it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim.

11.2.3Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section ‎11.2.2, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to (a) participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to engage counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such engagement will be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless the engagement thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, and (b) control its defense of such Third Party Claim and to engage counsel of its choice for such purpose, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and engage counsel in accordance with Section ‎11.2.2.

11.2.4Settlement. With respect to any Losses related solely to payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim that (a) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, (b) will not result in the Indemnified Party admitting liability, becoming subject to injunctive or other equitable relief that will otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and (c) as to which the Indemnifying Party will have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, will deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section ‎11.2.2, the Indemnifying Party will have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, only if it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by the Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

11.3Insurance.

11.3.1Generally. Commencing as of the Original Effective Date and thereafter during the Development Term, Opthea will carry and maintain, at its own expense, insurance coverage of the kind and with liability limits that, at a minimum, satisfy the requirements listed below with insurers with a minimum “A-” A.M. Best rating. Any deductibles for such insurance policies will be assumed by Opthea.

13.4.8Termination for Safety Concerns.

13.4.9Termination Because of Adverse Patent Impact. The Required Investors may terminate this Agreement if (a) Opthea is prevented, by final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, from further Developing or Commercializing the Product in the U.S. or (b) the future value of the Product is materially adversely affected, in the reasonable judgment of the Required Investors, due to (i) Third Party patents that were not publicly disclosed or known to the Required Investors as of the Original Effective Date that would be infringed by the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or import of the Product for the Indication in the U.S. or (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any claims of any composition-of-matter Patent within the

-75-

Product IP covering the Product in the Indication in the U.S. (in either case ((a) or (b)), an “Adverse Patent Impact”), upon written notice to Opthea if Opthea does not cure such Adverse Patent Impact within a period of [***] from the date of the Required Investors’ notice to Opthea of an Adverse Patent Impact. If the Required Investors terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section ‎13.4.9 and Opthea has achieved the Success Payment Trigger prior to such termination or elects to continue Development of the Product and achieves the Success Payment Trigger following such termination, then Opthea will remain obligated to pay to each Investor any Success Payments that become due and payable pursuant to ‎Article 6 at such time that such payments become due and payable (if ever) pursuant to ‎Article 6, provided that the Fixed Success Payments and the Fixed Return Cap will be adjusted as set forth in Section ‎6.3 and the Fixed Return Cap will be reduced by the amount of any Change of Control Payment previously paid by Opthea to such Investor.

13.4.10Termination for JSC Decision.

In the event that the Required Investors terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section ‎13.4.10, then Opthea will pay to each Investor, within sixty (60) days of the date of termination, an amount equal to [***] of the Development Costs paid by such Investor as of the effective date of such termination reduced by the amount of any Change of Control Payment previously paid by Opthea to such Investor, and, if Opthea elects to continue Development of the Product and achieves the Success Payment Trigger following such termination, then Opthea will remain obligated to pay to each Investor any Success Payments that become due and payable pursuant to ‎Article 6 at such time that such payments become due and payable (if ever) pursuant to ‎Article 6, provided that the Fixed Success Payments and the Fixed Return Cap will be adjusted as set forth in Section ‎6.3 and the Fixed Return Cap will be reduced by the amount previously paid to such Investor as set forth in this Section ‎13.4.10 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Change of Control Payment previously paid by Opthea to such Investor).

13.5Termination for Invalidity and Priority of Security Interest. The Required Investors may terminate this Agreement if any provision related to the security interest granted or purported to be granted in the Collateral to the Collateral Agent and Investors hereunder or under the Australian General Security Deed shall for any reason cease to be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms (or Opthea or any of its Affiliates shall challenge the enforceability of any such provision or assert in writing, or engage in any action or inaction based on any such assertion, that any such provision has ceased to be or otherwise is not valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms), or the security interest granted or purported to be granted in the Collateral to the Collateral Agent and Investors hereunder or under the Australian General Security Deed shall cease to be a valid and perfected first priority security interest to the extent required by this Agreement (subject to Permitted Liens solely to the extent such Permitted Liens have priority by law or statute and such other limitations on perfection and priority as set forth herein), in each case, other than due to a failure by Investors or Collateral Agent to take action to perfect such security interest or due to the release terms hereof and, in each case, after Opthea has failed to cure such failure within [***] following notice thereof where such failure is curable. In the event that the Required Investors terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section ‎13.5, then

-76-

Opthea will pay to each Investor, within [***] following the date of termination, an amount equal to the Development Costs paid by such Investor as of the effective date of such termination multiplied by the MoIC, reduced by the amount of any Success Payments or Change of Control Payment previously paid by Opthea.

13.6Release of Security Interest. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) any termination of this Agreement and payment by Opthea of all amounts specified in Section ‎13.4 as being payable upon or following such termination and (ii) the date upon which Investors have received, in the aggregate, equal [***] of the Development Costs paid by Investor hereunder (calculated on the date on which Investors have no further right or obligation under this Agreement to pay Development Costs) (such earlier date, the “Release Date”), Investors’ security interest in the Collateral shall be automatically released. Promptly following such date, Investors agrees to sign such further releases and other documents and take such further actions, at the sole cost and expense of Opthea, as may be necessary or desirable, in Opthea’s reasonable judgment and at Opthea’s request, to more fully give effect to such release. If an Investor does not promptly take such further actions to effect the release of the security interests, and such failure is not cured within [***] after notice of this failure from Opthea, then Opthea, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may seek, shall be entitled to suspend the payment of Success Payments to such Investor until the release has been effected. In connection with any Excluded Licensing Transaction and any other licensing of Intellectual Property permitted pursuant to this Agreement, each Investor shall enter into a customary non-disturbance agreement to the extent requested by Opthea, in each case reasonably satisfactory to such Investor and the counterparty thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after termination of this Agreement, Opthea shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prepay any remaining Success Payments or other payments in an amount sufficient to cause the release of the security interests under this Section ‎13.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon any Permitted Disposition, the Liens granted hereunder in the property thereby disposed will be deemed to be automatically released with no further action on the part of any Person so long as Opthea has delivered a certificate from an officer of Opthea certifying that such disposition was a Permitted Disposition together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Investors that such disposition was a Permitted Disposition.

Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Escalation Designees (including, where applicable, the representative of [***]) in writing will be conclusive and binding on the Parties. With respect to any Dispute that remains unresolved after the expiration of thirty (30) days after a Dispute is referred to the Escalation Designees (including, where applicable, the representative of [***]), then such Dispute will be submitted to the ICDR for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration clause set forth in Section ‎14.10.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no matters relating to breach or alleged breach of the ownership of intellectual property or rights in intellectual property or the validity or enforceability thereof will be resolved by arbitration, but rather will be determined by a U.S. federal court of appropriate jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Party will be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction immediately if necessary to prevent irreparable harm to that Party.

14.10.2Arbitration Process.

14.10.2.1 Any Party will have the right to initiate arbitration at any time after the expiration of thirty (30) days after a Dispute is referred to the Escalation Designees (including, where applicable, the representative of [***]) by written notice to all other Parties. Any Party to this Agreement may intervene in any arbitration proceedings hereunder by providing written notice to all other Parties. Any disputes concerning the arbitrability of any Party’s claims or defenses brought in an arbitration pursuant to this Section will be finally settled by the arbitral tribunal.

14.10.2.2 The seat, or legal place, of arbitration will be New York City, New York and the language of the arbitration will be English. The arbitration will be administered by the ICDR pursuant to the ICDR International Dispute Resolution Procedures. References herein to any arbitration rules or procedures mean such rules or procedures as amended from time to time, including any successor rules or procedures, and references herein to the ICDR include any successor thereto. The arbitration will be before a tribunal comprised of three (3) arbitrators. In the event that the notice of arbitration names only one claimant and on respondent, and no party has exercised its right to joinder or intervention in accordance with Section ‎14.10.2.1, the claimant and the respondent shall each select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of the answer to the notice of arbitration, and within fifteen (15) days of the second arbitrator’s appointment, the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators will select the third, who will serve as the tribunal’s chair or president. In the event that more than two Parties are named in the notice for arbitration or at least one contracting Party exercises its right to joinder or intervention in accordance with Section ‎14.10.2.1, the claimant(s) shall jointly appoint one arbitrator and the respondent(s) shall jointly appoint the other arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of the answer to the notice of arbitration, and within fifteen

-82-

(15) days of the second arbitrator’s appointment, the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators will select the third, who will serve as the tribunal’s chair or president. If any of the arbitrators are not selected within the time period prescribed above, then the ICDR shall appoint the arbitrator(s). All three (3) arbitrators will be professionals with substantial experience in development and Commercialization of biopharmaceutical products. An arbitrator will be deemed to meet these qualifications unless a Party objects within fifteen (15) days after the arbitrator is appointed; objections to an arbitrator’s qualifications will be made reasonably and in good faith, not for the purposes of delay or harassment. This arbitration provision, and the arbitration itself, will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et. Seq.

14.10.2.3 Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each relevant Party will, upon the written request of the other relevant Parties, promptly provide the other with copies of documents on which the producing Party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim or defense. At the request of a relevant Party, the arbitrators will have the discretion to order examination by deposition of witnesses to the extent the arbitrator deems such additional discovery relevant and appropriate. Depositions will be limited to a maximum of five (5) per relevant Party and will be held within forty-five (45) days after the grant of a request. Additional depositions may be scheduled only with the permission of the arbitrators, and for good cause shown. Each deposition will be limited to a maximum of seven (7) hours’ duration on the record. All objections are reserved for the arbitration hearing except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or confidential information. The relevant Parties will not utilize any other discovery mechanisms, including international processes and U.S. federal statutes, to obtain additional evidence for use in the arbitration. Any Dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, will be determined by the arbitrators, which determination will be conclusive. All discovery will be completed within ninety (90) days following the appointment of the arbitrators. The relevant Parties shall bear their own costs and fees for the production of documents, witnesses for deposition, and any other discovery that may be ordered by the arbitral tribunal.

14.10.2.4 The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s (or Parties’) actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Each Party expressly waives and foregoes any right to consequential, punitive, special, exemplary or similar damages or lost profits. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrators and reasonable attorney’s fees of the prevailing Party (or Parties), will be borne by the Party (or Parties) the arbitrator determines has not prevailed in the arbitration. The arbitral award shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion.

14.10.2.5 If an arbitral award does not impose an injunction on the losing Party (or Parties) or contain a money damages award in excess of five million dollars USD ($5,000,000), then the arbitral award will be final and binding and will only be subject to such challenges as would otherwise be

-83-

permissible under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et. Seq. Judgment on such an award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and the relevant Parties undertake to carry out the award without delay. In the event that an arbitral award imposes an injunction or contains a monetary award in excess of five million dollars USD ($5,000,000), the Parties agree that such award may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (the “Appellate Rules”) and should not be considered to be final and binding until after the time for filing the notice of appeal under the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of the award, as defined by the Appellate Rules, by filing a notice of appeal within any AAA office. The arbitrators to sit on the appellate panel shall be selected according to the same process set forth under Section ‎14.10.2.2 above. Following the appeal process, the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal will be final and binding and judgment on that award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and the relevant Parties undertake to carry out the award without delay.

14.10.2.6 Except as may be required by law, or to protect or pursue a legal right to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings, where needed for the preparation or presentation of a claim or defense in this arbitration, or by order of the arbitral tribunal upon application of a Party, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Parties.

14.11Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NO PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTIES FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, RELIANCE OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST OR IMPUTED PROFITS OR ROYALTIES OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, WHETHER LIABILITY IS ASSERTED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT PRODUCTS LIABILITY), INDEMNITY OR CONTRIBUTION, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THAT PARTY OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF, OR OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE ANTICIPATED THE POSSIBILITY OF, ANY SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION ‎14.11 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THIS SECTION ‎14.11 WILL NOT LIMIT (A) Opthea’S OBLIGATION TO PAY INVESTORS THE AMOUNTS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 6 OR SECTION ‎13.3, OR (B) A PARTY’S LIABILITY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY’S (I) GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (II) BREACH OF ‎Article 9, OR (III) INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION PURSUANT TO SECTION ‎11.1.

14.12No Pass-Through Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, [***] is solely liable for its obligations set forth in or arising under this Agreement, and no direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of [***] shall have any liability in respect of this Agreement except as may be expressly so provided herein.

-84-

14.13Cumulative Remedies. Unless expressly set forth in this Agreement, all rights and remedies of the Parties, including all rights to payment, rights of termination, rights to injunctive relief, and other rights provided under this Agreement, will be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies provided for in this Agreement, in law, and in equity.

14.14Relationship of the Parties; Independent Contractors. Nothing contained herein will be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture, or similar relationship between the Parties, including for tax purposes. No Party is the agent, employee, joint venturer, partner, franchisee, or representative of any other Party. Each Party specifically acknowledges that it does not have the authority to, and will not, incur any obligations or responsibilities on behalf of any other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party (and its officers, directors, agents, employees, and members) will not hold themselves out as employees, agents, representatives, or franchisees of any other Party or enter into any agreements on such other Party’s behalf.

14.15Power of Attorney; Proxies. Each Party agrees it shall not, without the prior written consent of [***], use any power of attorney or proxy granted to it by [***] of this Agreement (if any) to (i) make any representations or warranties on behalf of [***] (other than those expressly contemplated to be made by [***] pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (if any)); (ii) impose any new or increase any existing obligations or liabilities on [***] (other than as expressly contemplated by the terms of this Agreement (if any)); or (iii) amend, modify, terminate or waive (on behalf of [***]) any provision in this Agreement. Each Party agrees that copies of any documents signed on [***]’s behalf pursuant to any power of attorney and/or proxy granted as aforesaid by [***] pursuant to this Agreement (if any) will be provided to [***] as soon as reasonably practicable following execution.

14.16Arm’s Length Dealings. Neither Opthea nor any of the Investors nor any of their Affiliates will, for the Term of this Agreement, enter into any agreement on non-arm’s length terms that adversely affects the rights or benefits of any Investors under this Agreement or otherwise detrimental to the receipt by Investors of the Success Payments pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the foregoing will not prohibit reasonable and customary director, officer and employee compensation arrangements and other customary benefits including retirement, health, stock option and other benefit plans and indemnifications or reimbursement arrangements.

14.17No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the provisions herein are for the benefit of the Parties only, and are not intended to confer any rights or benefits to any Third Party.

14.18Rights Reserved. No license or any other right is granted to any Party, by implication or otherwise, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. All rights not exclusively granted to Investors or Collateral Agent are reserved to Opthea and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and for clarity, no Intellectual Property or other proprietary rights Controlled by Opthea or its Affiliates will be assigned or licensed to Investors in connection with this Agreement.

14.19Amendments; No Waiver. No amendment, supplement, or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless it is in writing and signed by Opthea, Collateral Agent and all of the Investors. No delay or failure on the part of a Party in the exercise of any right under this

-85-

Agreement or available at law or equity will be construed as a waiver of such right, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other exercise thereof. All waivers must be in writing and signed by each Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Any such waiver will constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and will in no way impair (i) the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time or (ii) the rights of any other Party (that is not a Party to such waiver). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement, no amendment or modification and no waiver, discharge or termination shall (A) forgive the amount or extend the final scheduled date of any payment to be made to any Investor hereunder or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Investor’s Commitment without the written consent of each Investor directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Investor under this Section ‎14.19, without the written consent of such Investor; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Investors, consent to the assignment or transfer by Opthea of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the guarantors from their obligations unless otherwise permitted under this Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Investors; or (D) change the pro rata sharing of payments without the consent of each Investor. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Investors and shall be binding upon Opthea, the Investors and all future successors and permitted assigns.

14.20Severability. If any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement is determined by a court or arbitration to be unenforceable as drafted by virtue of the scope, duration, extent, or character of any obligation contained herein, it is the Parties’ intention that such provision (or portion thereof) will be construed in a manner designed to effectuate the purposes of such provision to the maximum extent enforceable under such Applicable Law. The Parties will enter into whatever amendment to this Agreement as may be necessary to effectuate such purposes.

14.21Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all Exhibits hereto and the Transaction Agreements, contains the entire understanding of the Parties and supersedes, revokes, terminates, and cancels any and all other arrangements, understandings, agreements, term sheets, or representations and warranties, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

14.22Covenant Not to Sue. Opthea shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, commence or pursue, or aid any other Person in commencing or pursuing, any action or claim against any Affiliate of an Investor or any Investor LP or any Affiliate of any Investor LP with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

14.23Counterparts. This Agreement will be executed in three (3) counterparts, one (1) for each Party, which, taken together, will constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement will not be binding on the Parties or otherwise effective unless and until executed by all Parties.

14.25Australian PPS provisions – exclusions. Where an Investor has a security interest (as defined in the Australian PPSA) under a Transaction Agreement, to the extent the law permits:

a)for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the Australian PPSA:

a.such Investor need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4) of the Australian PPSA; and

b.sections 142 and 143 of the Australian PPSA are excluded;

b)for the purposes of section 115(7) of the Australian PPSA, such Investor need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3);

c)each Party waives its right to receive from such Investor any notice required under the Australian PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement);

d)if such Investor exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with a security interest, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the Australian PPSA unless such Investor states otherwise at the time of exercise. However, this section does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the Australian PPSA; and

e)if the Australian PPSA is amended to permit the Parties to agree not to comply with or to exclude other provisions of the Australian PPSA, such Investor may notify Opthea that any of these provisions is excluded, or that such Investor need not comply with any of these provisions.

This Section ‎14.25 does not affect any rights a person has or would have other than by reason of the Australian PPSA and applies despite any other section in any Transaction Agreement.

14.26Australian PPS provisions – further assurances. Whenever an Investor requests Opthea to do anything:

a)to ensure any Transaction Agreement (or any security interest (as defined in the Australian PPSA) or other Lien under any Transaction Agreement) is fully effective, enforceable and perfected with the contemplated priority;

b)for more satisfactorily assuring or securing to such Investor the property the subject of any such security interest or other Lien in a manner consistent with the Transaction Agreement; or

c)for aiding the exercise of any power in any Transaction Agreement,

Opthea shall do it promptly at its own cost (or procure that it is done). This may include obtaining consents, signing documents, getting documents completed and signed and supplying information, delivering documents and evidence of title and executed blank transfers, or otherwise giving possession or control with respect to any property the subject of any security interest or Xxxx.

14.27 Defaulting Investors.

14.27.1[***].

14.27.2[***]

14.28Collateral Agent.

14.28.1 Each Investor irrevocably appoints Ocelot SPV LP as Collateral Agent of such Investor under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and authorizes Collateral Agent to take such action on such Investor’s behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder as are specifically delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and the other Transaction Agreements, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Collateral Agent shall have only those duties which are specified in this Agreement and any other Transaction Agreement and it may perform such duties by or through its agents, representatives or employees. Collateral Agent shall have no duties, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, and no implied covenants, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or otherwise exist against Collateral Agent. Ocelot SPV LP agrees that it is acting in its capacity as Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Investors (and not in its capacity as an Investor), under each of the Australian General Security Deed, the Deposit Account Control Agreement, the Guaranty and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement.

14.28.2Neither Collateral Agent nor its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken or omitted to be given or taken by Collateral Agent or by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or the other the Transaction Agreements or (ii) responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error in judgment by Collateral Agent or such Person whatsoever, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), for Collateral Agent’s or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for (v) the execution, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, (w) the collectability of any amounts owing under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, (x) the value, sufficiency, enforceability or collectability of any collateral security therefor, (y) the failure by Opthea to perform the Opthea Obligations or (z) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Opthea or any officer or agent thereof contained in this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Collateral Agent or any Investor in connection with, this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, whether delivered by Collateral Agent to any Investor or by or on behalf of Opthea to any Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, this exception from liability applies only to the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, and does not apply to Ocelot in its capacity as Investor.

-88-

14.28.3The Collateral Agent confirms that it holds all rights to the Australian General Security Deed also as security trustee for the benefit of itself as Collateral Agent and the Investors. These rights are in addition to any rights or powers held by the Collateral Agent in any other capacity. All protections, indemnities and other rights granted in favour of the Collateral Agent, whether at law or under any Transaction Agreement, in respect of its role as security trustee also apply to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as security trustee.

14.29Reliance by Collateral Agent.

14.29.1Collateral Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, acting, or refraining to act, upon any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document that it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of facsimiles or electronic mail, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct in its capacity as Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to Collateral Agent and substantially conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements.

14.29.2Collateral Agent shall be entitled to fail or refuse, and shall be fully protected in failing or refusing, to take any action under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent, unless (A) it first shall receive such advice or concurrence of Required Investors, as it deems appropriate, or (B) it first shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by Investors against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. In all cases Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements in accordance with a request of Required Investors and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Investors. Without prejudice to the generality of anything in this Section ‎14.29.2, no Investor shall have any right of action whatsoever against Collateral Agent as a result of Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or under any of the other Transaction Agreements in accordance with the instructions of Required Investors.

14.29.3Collateral Agent may execute any of the powers hereof and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact. Collateral Agent may utilize the services of such agents and attorneys-in-fact as Collateral Agent in its sole discretion reasonably determines, and all fees and expenses of such agents and attorneys-in-fact shall be paid by Opthea on demand. Collateral Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such powers and duties. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it, if the selection of such agents or attorneys-in-fact was done without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

-89-

14.29.4Unless the officers of Collateral Agent acting in their capacity as officers of Collateral Agent on Opthea’s account with respect to the transactions hereunder have actual knowledge thereof or have been notified in writing thereof by Investors, Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default. Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by Required Investors; provided, that unless and until Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it deems advisable in the best interests of the Investors.

14.29.5Opthea agrees (i) to indemnify and hold Collateral Agent (and any Person acting on behalf of Collateral Agent) harmless from and against and (ii) promptly upon receipt by Opthea of Collateral Agent’s statement, to reimburse Collateral Agent for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other advisors actually incurred) or disbursements of any kind of nature whatsoever with respect to Collateral Agent’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements; provided, that Opthea shall not be liable for the payment to Collateral Agent of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Collateral Agent’s willful misconduct, and nothing in the foregoing is intended to limit the obligation of Opthea to reimburse Collateral Agent for any amounts incurred by Collateral Agent; provided further that Opthea shall not be responsible for reimbursement of any attorneys’ and advisors’ fees, expenses and costs incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the negotiation, documentation and closing of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements in excess of $25,000. In the event that Opthea does not have sufficient funds to pay any amount required under this Section ‎14.29.5 or with respect to any excess amount Opthea is not responsible for reimbursement, each Investor severally, but not jointly, agrees to perform the actions set forth in (i) and (ii) above, according to such Investor’s Pro Rata Share, to the extent Collateral Agent shall not have already have been reimbursed by Opthea; provided, that no Investor shall be liable for the payment to Collateral Agent of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Collateral Agent’s right to indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement.

-90-

14.29.6Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Investors and Opthea. Upon any such resignation, the Required Investors shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent (provided that such successor Collateral Agent is not an Affiliate or related party of the Required Investors, which, for the avoidance of doubt, include Launch for so long as Ocelot SPV LP forms part of the Required Investors). If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Investors and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Investors, appoint a successor Collateral Agent, and which successor Collateral Agent, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Opthea. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Xxxxxxxxxx Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

14.30Amendment and Restatement; Termination of Letter Agreements.

14.30.1Each Party agrees that, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the parties hereto, the terms and provisions of the Existing Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Opthea Obligations under the Existing Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements as in effect prior to the date hereof. All payments made, and “Opthea Obligations” incurred under (and defined in) the Existing Agreement which are outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date, shall constitute payments made and Opthea Obligations, respectively, under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. The Commitment of each Investor that is a party to the Existing Agreement shall, on the date hereof, automatically be deemed amended and the only Commitments shall be those hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness hereof: (a) all references in the “Transaction Agreements” (as defined in the Existing Agreement) to the “Funding Agreement” and the “Transaction Agreements” shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, and (b) all obligations constituting “Opthea Obligations” under the Existing Agreement with any Investor or any Affiliate of any Investor which are outstanding on the date hereof shall continue as Opthea Obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.

14.30.2Opthea and Ocelot SPV LP hereby acknowledge and agree that any letter agreements or other agreements amending or modifying the Existing Agreement (including the Letter Agreement dated June 5, 2023 between Opthea and Ocelot SPV LP) are hereby terminated in its entirety as of the Restatement Effective Date.
