ARTICLE 4

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS

4.1 Ownership of Technology and Patents.

4.1.1 Inventorship of all inventions and discoveries conceived, reduced to practice, discovered or made during the Term, whether or not patentable, will be determined in accordance with U.S. patent laws.

4.1.2 Authorship of all copyrightable works created during the Term will be determined in accordance with U.S. copyright laws.

4.1.3 As between the Parties, each of the Licensors retains ownership of its respective Licensed Patents and Licensed Technology that exists as of the Effective Date (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement).

4.1.4 As between the Parties, OPI will be and is the sole owner of all: (a) Improvement Technology (i) with respect to which at least one of the Representatives of OPI are deemed the only inventors or authors, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, (ii) with respect to which any combination of one or more of the Representatives of OPI together with one or more of the Representatives of the Licensors are deemed co-inventors or co-authors, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, or (iii) that constitutes “Work Product” under the Consulting Agreements, as defined therein (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “OPI Improvement Technology”); and (b) all Improvement Patents claiming any of the OPI Improvement Technology (“OPI Improvement Patents”). Each Licensor will assign, and hereby

Page 4

does assign, to OPI immediately upon its existence all of such Licensor’s and its respective Representative’s(s’) right, title and interest in and to the OPI Improvement Technology and OPI Improvement Patents. Each Licensor will (x) execute all further instruments to document, record or perfect OPI’s sole ownership consistent with this Section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 as reasonably requested by OPI from time to time, and will cause each of such Representative(s) to do the same, and (y) make each such Representative available to OPI and the OPI Representatives as reasonably requested in connection with OPI’s or its Affiliate’s protection thereof, including filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing Improvement Patents.

4.1.5 As between the Parties, except for OPI Improvement Technology, a Licensor will be and is the sole owner of all Improvement Technology for which Representatives of the Licensors are deemed inventors or authors pursuant to Section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 (“Licensor Improvement Technology”). As between the Parties, except for OPI Improvement Patents, a Licensor also will be and is the sole owner of all Improvement Patents claiming any of the Licensor Improvement Technology (“Licensor Improvement Patents”).

4.2 Prosecution of Patents.

4.2.1 As between the Parties, OPI will be responsible for preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, and seeking extensions of all Licensed Patents and OPI Improvement Patents at OPI’s cost and expense. OPI will provide the owner of the Licensed Patent with a reasonable opportunity to comment on the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents, and OPI will consider all comments received from such Licensor in a timely manner in good faith. OPI will not purposefully narrow the claims of any pending Licensed Patent simply to avoid paying royalties hereunder. OPI will not, without the owner’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, voluntarily narrow the claims of any Licensed Patents after they have been allowed or issued.

4.2.2 If OPI intends to abandon any issued Licensed Patent, OPI shall notify SDRI of such intent at least 30 days in advance of any deadline that would prejudice SDRI’s rights under this Agreement. SDRI then will have the opportunity to pay any issue, maintenance, or annuity fee due to maintain said Licensed Patent in its discretion and at the Licensor’s cost and expense.

4.2.3 If OPI intends to abandon or otherwise cease prosecution of any pending application within the Licensed Patents without intent to file any continuing or divisional patent application, OPI shall notify SDRI before expiration of one-half of the statutory time permitted to respond to the subject office action issued by the applicable Government Authority for the application. SDRI then will have the opportunity to continue prosecution of the pending application in its discretion, but not to the detriment of any Licensed Patent(s), and at its sole cost and expense. If SDRI notifies OPI of SDRI’s desire to continue prosecution, then OPI will: (a) promptly send all applicable prosecution file contents (including paper copies and electronic files thereof) to the Licensor and (b) in good faith cooperate with SDRI to assist SDRI in executing any and all reasonable documents necessary for SDRI to continue prosecution of the pending application.

Page 5

4.2.4 Each Licensor will execute all further instruments to provide OPI with the ability to control prosecution and maintenance activities consistent with this Section as reasonably requested by OPI from time to time, including by promptly executing powers of attorney, and will cause each of its Representative(s) to do the same.

4.3 License Grants to OPI.

4.3.1 Each Licensor grants to OPI an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, including the right to sublicense (through multiple tiers), under all rights in the Licensed Patents. Such rights include the right to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise exploit any products or services and to practice any methods or processes claimed therein for any and all applications, purposes and fields of use that are the subject of the Licensed Patents.

4.3.2 Each Licensor grants to OPI an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, including the right to sublicense (through multiple tiers), under all rights in the Licensed Technology. Such rights include the rights to reproduce, use, create derivative works of, distribute, display publicly and disclose the Licensed Technology and to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, export, distribute and otherwise exploit any products or services and to practice any methods or processes for any and all applications, purposes and fields of use.

4.3.3 The foregoing rights to sublicense in Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 above and in Section 4.6.2 below may be exercised without consent of either Licensor: (a) outside of the USA and Major European Countries, (b) within the USA and Major European Countries with respect to any Product after Regulatory Approval of the Product in such country, (c) within the USA and Major European Countries with respect to any Product before Regulatory Approval of the Product in such country so long as (i) such sublicense does not grant all of the rights under Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 to any single Person or a Person and its Affiliates and (ii) Otic retains a reasonable level of control over Regulatory Approval of the Product and (d) to settle any litigation involving alleged infringement of any of the Licensed Patents or infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any of the Licensed Technology initiated by OPI in accordance with Section 4.5.2. All other sublicenses not described in the preceding sentence require the written consent of the Licensors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

4.4 OPI License Rights Upon Bankruptcy.

All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to any Section of this Agreement are and will otherwise be deemed to be for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, U.S. Code), as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that when a Licensor is the debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, OPI, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code or any other provisions of applicable Law outside the United States that provide similar protection for “intellectual property.” The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Licensor or any of its Affiliates under the Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of applicable Law outside the

Page 6

United States as the debtor, OPI will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in OPI’s possession, will be promptly delivered to it upon OPI’s written request thereof. Any agreements supplemental to this Agreement will be deemed to be “agreements supplementary to” this Agreement for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

4.5 Enforcement of Patents.

4.5.1 Each Licensor will promptly notify OPI in the event of any actual, threatened or suspected infringement of any Licensed Patents or OPI Improvement Patents in the event that Licensor(s) become aware of such actual, threatened or suspected infringement.

4.5.2 As between the Parties, OPI will have the exclusive initial right, but not the obligation, to institute litigation to cease infringement of the Licensed Patents and OPI Improvement Patents. As between the Parties, any such litigation will be at OPI’s sole cost and expense. If required in order to establish standing to xxx under any applicable Laws, each Licensor, upon request of OPI, agrees to timely join in any such litigation, at OPI’s expense, and in any event to cooperate with OPI at OPI’s expense. No settlement, stipulated judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 4.5.2 may be undertaken without the consent of the applicable Licensor(s) if such settlement, stipulated judgment or other voluntary final disposition (a) would require either Licensor to be subject to an injunction, admit wrong-doing, make a monetary payment or would otherwise materially adversely affect a Licensor’s rights under this Agreement or any of the Licensed Patents or (b) is with a Person who has (before the settlement) a Contract with OPI or its Affiliate that provides for the sharing of revenues from the sale of Licensed Products. Any Governmental Authority awarded judgment for such infringement will be allocated first to pay any and all of OPI’s and the Licensors’ reasonable costs and expenses relating to the litigation and the remainder, to the extent based on infringement of the Licensed Patents, will be deemed Net Sales for purposes of Section 5.4.

4.5.3 If OPI should, upon notice by Licensors of infringement of the Licensed Patents and Licensor Improvement Patents and the presentment of reasonable proof that such infringement is having a material adverse effect on the royalties payable to Licensors under this Agreement, decline to file an infringement action or obtain such infringer’s agreement to cease its infringing activities within 6 months after OPI’s notice and proof, then Licensors shall have the right, at their sole expense, to pursue such litigation. In such instances, OPI shall cooperate with Licensor in such litigation by providing documentation relevant to the litigation in accordance with applicable discovery rules and requirements. As between the Parties, any such litigation will be at Licensor’s sole cost and expense. If, under those circumstances, Licensors should be successful in such suit and be awarded monetary damages, then the monetary damages will be retained by Licensors alone. No settlement, stipulated judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 4.5.3 may be undertaken without the consent of OPI if such settlement, stipulated judgment or other voluntary final disposition would require OPI or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees to be subject to an injunction, admit wrong-doing, make a monetary payment or would otherwise materially adversely affect OPI’s rights under this Agreement or any of the Licensed Patents or would purport to grant any license under any of the Licensed Technology or Licensed Patents.

Page 7

4.6 Trademarks.

4.6.1 As among the Parties, OPI has the sole right, at its sole cost and in its sole discretion, to (a) select the trademark(s), service xxxx(s), logo(s), slogans, trade names or other indicia of the source or origin of goods or services (each an “OPI Trademark”) to be used on or in connection with each Licensed Product, Licensed Technology, or its labeling, any registration or application for registration for any of the foregoing anywhere in the world and (b) apply for, prosecute, and maintain any registrations thereof. As among the Parties, OPI exclusively owns all OPI Trademarks.

4.6.2 Each Licensor grants to OPI an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, including the right to sublicense (subject to Section 4.3.3) to use the Otodyne Trademarks in connection with Products in the USA until Regulatory Approval is obtained in such country.

4.7 Reservation of Rights.

Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, no rights or licenses are granted under this Agreement by any Party or any of its Affiliates under any Intellectual Property of such Party or its Affiliates to the other Party or its Affiliates, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise, and all such rights not expressly granted are hereby reserved by each Party and its Affiliates.

ARTICLE 5

LICENSE FEES AND PAYMENTS

5.1 License and Access Fee.

Shortly thereafter, OPI’s parent company will issue to Otodyne a stock certificate representing such number of restricted and unvested shares of OPI common stock that have an aggregate total value of $*** at the time of issue (based upon a per share price equal to the most recently closed capital stock financing round of OPI’s parent company) (“OPI Parent Shares”). The OPI Parent Shares will vest ***% on the *** anniversary of the Effective Date and ***% on the *** anniversary of the Effective Date. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2.3, any unvested OPI Parent Shares will no longer be issued or outstanding and will cease to exist.

5.3 Development Milestone Payments.

5.3.1 OPI will notify Licensors within 30 days after the first occurrence of each of the following events indicated in Table 5.3.1 below as a “Development Milestone” is achieved by OPI, its Affiliate or its Sublicensee for the first indication (for any Licensed Product):

5.3.3 OPI will notify Licensors within 30 days after the first occurrence of each of the following events indicated in Table 5.3.3 below as a “Development Milestone” is achieved by OPI, its Affiliate or its Sublicensee for any third indication, whether such third indication is a second or third indication for the same Licensed Product for which any amounts were paid under Sections 5.3.1 or 5.3.2 or is the first indication for a different Licensed Product than that upon which any amounts were paid under Sections 5.3.1 or 5.3.2:

Table 5.3.3 – Third Indication

Page 9

5.3.4 OPI will pay the amount of the “Milestone Payment” that corresponds to each such “Development Milestone” as specified in Table 5.3.1, Table 5.3.2 or Table 5.3.3 contemporaneously with the notice that such milestone has been achieved to be provided under Sections 5.3.1 – 5.3.3, as applicable. OPI will make all such payments to Otodyne.

5.3.5 In no event will a Milestone Payment in each of Table 5.3.1, Table 5.3.2 or Table 5.3.3 become payable more than once and in no event will the total Milestone Payments that become payable in accordance with Section 5.3 exceed $42,100,000.

5.4 Royalty Payments on Net Sales.

5.4.1 OPI will pay royalties on Net Sales of each Licensed Product on a country-by-country basis until the first to occur of: (i) eight (8) years after the first Net Sales for which a royalty is due under this Section 5.4 occurs in such country and (ii) Generic Competition in such country (“Royalty Term”). Upon expiration of the applicable Royalty Term in a country for a Licensed Product, the license granted for such Licensed Product in such country will be deemed irrevocable and non-terminable (and will survive termination of this Agreement for any reason), and upon payment of all royalties due based on Net Sales occurring during the Royalty Term in such country for the Licensed Product, such license will be deemed fully paid-up and royalty-free.

5.4.2 OPI will incur royalties on Net Sales (based on the cumulative Net Sales of all Licensed Products during all Royalty Terms worldwide in a given calendar year) at the following rates:

(a) ***% for the portion of Net Sales that is less than or equal to *** in a calendar year; plus

(b) ***% for the portion of Net Sales that is greater than *** and less than or equal to *** in a calendar year; plus

5.4.3 If either (a) OPI, its Affiliate or its Sublicensee determines in good faith that in order to avoid potential infringement of any Blocking Third Party Patent Rights it is advisable to obtain a license from any Third Party(ies) to exploit any Licensed Product(s) in one or more country(ies), or (b) OPI, its Affiliate or its Sublicensee of the Licensed Patents or Licensed Technology is required by an order, judgment or similar action of a Governmental Authority to pay royalties or other amounts for the exploitation of any Licensed Product(s) in one or more country(ies) due to infringement of Blocking Third Party Patent Rights, then (c) OPI may deduct from any of the amounts due from OPI under this Agreement, *** of such amounts actually paid by OPI, its Affiliate(s) or its Sublicensee(s) to such Third Party(ies) for the Blocking Third Party Product Rights. The total amount to be deducted may be applied to any of the amounts due from OPI under this Agreement, provided, however, that no single amount due to Licensors under this Agreement (e.g., royalties for a calendar quarter or a milestone payment) may be reduced by more than *** of the amount otherwise due to the Licensors. If needed, OPI may deduct the total amount to be deducted from multiple payments due to Licensors under this

Page 10

Agreement until the full amount to be deducted has been applied to payments otherwise due to Licensors. For example, if ***% of amount paid to a Third Party is $*** and royalties become payable to Licensors during the following calendar quarter in the amount of $***, then Otic can offset $*** of the $*** paid to the Third Party against the $*** otherwise due to Licensors, and the remaining $*** of the $*** paid to the Third Party can be offset against up to ***% of any subsequent milestone or royalty payment due to Licensors until the remaining $*** has been applied.

5.4.4 Starting with the calendar quarter in which the first Net Sales occur for which a royalty is due under this Section 5.4, OPI will provide a report to Licensors with the Net Sales of each Licensed Product in each country and will make the payment required pursuant to this Section 5.4 above within 60 days after the end of the each calendar quarter of the Term. Such royalty reports will provide, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, the Net Sales during the reporting period, the applicable royalty rate(s) from Sections 5.4.2, any deductions made pursuant to Section 5.4.3, and a calculation of the resulting royalty payment due through the end of the reporting period.

5.4.5 OPI will pay the royalties due for a reporting period contemporaneously with the submission of the report due under Section 5.4.6. OPI will tender all royalty payments to Otodyne.

5.4.6 Together with or promptly after the royalty report due for the fourth quarter of each calendar year in which Net Sales occur, OPI shall provide Licensors with an annual summary that sets forth the cumulative amounts of the information reported in the quarterly royalty reports due under Section 5.4.4 for such calendar year.

5.5 Sales Milestone Payments.

5.5.1 OPI will notify Licensors of the occurrence of any “Sales Milestone” set forth in Table 5.5 below within 30 days after the achievement of the corresponding “Threshold”. The “Threshold” for purposes of such payments is the cumulative Net Sales of all Licensed Products during all Royalty Terms worldwide in a given calendar year.


Table 5.5: Sales Milestones
Sales Milestones	Milestone Payment (in millions)	Threshold
Sales Milestone #1	***	$1.0 billion
Sales Milestone #2	***	***
Sales Milestone #3	***	***

Subtotal—Sales Milestones	$36.0

5.5.2 OPI will only be required to pay each of Sales Milestones #1, #2 and #3 one time. Each Sales Milestone payment will become payable based on the first occurrence of cumulative Net Sales in a calendar year that equals or exceeds the applicable “Threshold”, regardless of whether or not any other Sales Milestone is first achieved in the same calendar year. OPI will pay the amount of the “Milestone Payment” that corresponds to each such “Sales Milestone” as specified in Table 5.5 contemporaneously with the notice that such milestone has been achieved to be provided under 5.5.1. OPI will pay each such amount to Otodyne.

Page 11

5.6 Method of Payments.

Each payment hereunder will be made in United States Dollars by check or electronic funds transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as each Licensor will designate in writing to OPI. Such payments will be net of any withholding Taxes required by applicable Law as further provided in Section 5.8. OPI may pay any amount due hereunder directly to Otodyne or cause any of OPI’s Affiliates organized under the laws of any State within the USA to pay such amount.

5.7 Inspection of Records.

For at least 3 years after the end of any calendar year in which Net Sales occurred in a country, OPI will keep accurate books and records setting forth the Net Sales of each Licensed Product in each country for such calendar year. OPI will permit a Licensor, using independent certified public accountants engaged by such Licensor and approved by OPI, to examine such books and records at any reasonable time, upon reasonable notice; provided, however, that OPI will not be required to produce for inspection any such records relating to any period other than the 3 most recently ended calendar years. The foregoing right of examination (i) may be exercised only once during each calendar year and one additional time during the 3-year period after the Term and (ii) may not be exercised with respect to any period that was previously subject to such inspection. OPI may require such accountants to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement, and in no event will such accountants disclose to Licensors or their Representatives any information, other than such as relates to the accuracy of the corresponding payments required to be made under this Agreement. The opinion of said independent accountants regarding such reports and related payments will be binding on the Parties, other than in the case of manifest error. If OPI alleges that such opinion is in error, then the Parties may have the independent accountants review the relevant books and records a second time to confirm whether or not such alleged error exists. The examining Licensor will bear the cost of any such examination and review; provided, however, that if the examination shows an underpayment of any amounts due of more than both (i) ***% of the amount due for an applicable calendar year and (ii) ***, then OPI will promptly reimburse the examining Licensor for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with such examination. OPI will promptly pay to Licensors the amount of any underpayment of amounts due revealed by any such examination.

OPI will deduct or withhold from the payments any Taxes that OPI is required to deduct or withhold under applicable Law. If, in accordance with the foregoing, OPI withholds any amount from a payment to a Licensor, such withheld amount shall be deemed paid by OPI to the applicable Licensor pursuant to this Agreement, and OPI will (a) timely remit to the applicable Licensor the balance of such payment; (b) timely remit the full amount withheld to the proper Governmental Authority; and (c) send to the applicable Licensor written proof of remittance of the full amount withheld within 30 days following remittance.

(d) in connection with the resolution of disputes under this Agreement; provided, however, that such Recipient will use reasonable efforts to limit the dissemination of such information, including by use of protective orders and the like, as such Recipient would use for its own similar types of Confidential Information;

Page 14

(e) in connection with filings required by security regulations and the rules and regulations of any securities exchanges upon which the Recipient’s securities are traded; provided, however, that such Recipient will use reasonable efforts to limit the dissemination of such information, including by use of protective orders and the like, as such Recipient would use for its own similar types of Confidential Information; and

(f) in connection with a potential Change of Control of a Receiving Party, to permitted assignees or existing and potential investors or lenders of the Receiving Party, or to potential Sublicensees, in each case under a written agreement to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential and to use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose disclosed.

The Parties will use their respective best efforts to mutually agree to an initial joint press release announcing the execution of this Agreement as promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event not later than such time as a Party is required by applicable Law to make such an announcement publicly, and thereafter promptly disseminate such press release; provided, however, that a Party may, if required by applicable Law, announce the execution of this Agreement in the absence of such mutual agreement over the content thereof.

6.4 No Use of Names Without Consent.

Neither Party may use of the name, professional accreditation, standing, licensure, office(s) or any other indicia of identity related to the other Party or its Representatives within any publications, announcements or other public disclosures without said Person(s) advance, written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OPI and its Representatives may continue to rely upon any such disclosures made in the Licensed Technology in the form provided by Licensors or made by Licensors to any Regulatory Authority.

6.5 Publication of Clinical Trial Results.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, OPI may publish any data within the Licensed Technology or otherwise resulting from Clinical Trials conducted on a Licensed Product without consent of either Licensor.

7.2 Otodyne Representations

7.2.1 Otodyne is a resident of, or is organized under the laws of, the State of Delaware.

7.2.2 The Shares will be acquired for investment for Otodyne’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and Otodyne has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise distributing the Shares. Otodyne does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to any Third Party, with respect to any of the Shares.

Page 20

7.2.3 Otodyne understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) Act on the grounds that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, and that OPI’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on Otodyne’s representations set forth herein. Otodyne realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, Otodyne has in mind merely acquiring the Shares for a fixed or determined period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. Otodyne does not have any such intention.

7.2.4 Otodyne represents that Otodyne is experienced in evaluating early-stage companies such as OPI, is able to fend for Otodyne’s own self in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Otodyne’s investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of Otodyne’s investment. Otodyne further represents that Otodyne has had access, during the course of the transactions and prior to Otodyne’s acquisition of the Shares, to all such information as Otodyne deemed necessary or appropriate (to the extent OPI possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense), and that Otodyne has had, during the course of the transactions and prior to Otodyne’s acquisition of the Shares, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, OPI concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain additional information (to the extent OPI possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to Otodyne or to which Otodyne had access.

7.2.5 Otodyne understands that the Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Shares or an available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, the Shares must be held indefinitely. In particular, Otodyne is aware that the Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met. Among the conditions for use of Rule 144 is the availability of current information to the public about OPI. Such information is not now available and OPI has no present plans to make such information available. Otodyne represents that, in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Shares, Otodyne will sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Shares only in a manner consistent with Otodyne’s representations set forth herein.

7.2.6 Otodyne agrees that in no event will Otodyne make a transfer or disposition of any of the Shares (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or, to OPI’s reasonable satisfaction, pursuant to Rule 144), unless and until (i) Otodyne shall have notified OPI of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished OPI with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the disposition and (ii) if requested by OPI, at the expense of Otodyne or transferee, Otodyne shall have furnished to OPI an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to OPI, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the 1933 Act.

Page 21

7.2.7 Otodyne understands that each certificate representing the Shares will be endorsed with a legend substantially as follows:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

7.2.8 Otodyne represents that it is an “Accredited Investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the 0000 Xxx.

7.2.9 Otodyne understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by OPI and that there is no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the Shares.

9.1 Indemnification.

9.1.1 Each of the Licensors will jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold OPI and OPI’s Representatives, harmless from any and all Losses incurred by any of them in connection with a claim by a Third Party as a result of:

(a) the breach of any covenant of, or warranty or representation made by a Licensor under this Agreement; or

Page 27

(b) the negligence, recklessness, or wilful misconduct of a Licensor or any of its Representatives; or

(c) the Development, manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, importation or promotion of any Licensed Products by a Licensor or any of its Representatives, licensees or sublicensees following termination of the exclusive right to do so granted to OPI under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensors will not be obligated to so indemnify, defend and hold OPI or its Representatives harmless to the extent that such Losses are caused by (x) the breach of any covenant of, or warranty or representation made by OPI under this Agreement or (y) the gross negligence, recklessness or wilful misconduct of OPI or any of its Representatives.

9.1.2 OPI will indemnify, defend and hold Licensors and their Representatives harmless from any and all Losses incurred by any of them in connection with a claim by a Third Party as a result of:

(c) the Development, manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, importation or promotion of Licensed Products by OPI or its Representatives under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, OPI will not be obligated to so indemnify, defend and hold Licensors or its Representatives harmless to the extent that such Losses are caused by (x) the breach of any covenant of, or warranty or representation made by a Licensor under this Agreement or (y) the gross negligence, recklessness or wilful misconduct of a Licensor or any of its Representatives.

9.2 Indemnity Procedures.

9.2.1 In the event that any Third Party asserts a claim with respect to any matter for which a Party or its Representative(s) (the “Indemnified Party”) is entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1 (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Party obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) thereof; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

9.2.2 The Indemnifying Party will have the right, exercisable by notice to the Indemnified Party within 20 days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to assume direction and control of the defense, litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition of the Third Party Claim (including the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration) with counsel selected by the

Page 28

Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party may do so without prejudice to its right to dispute whether such claim involves a Third Party Claim subject to valid indemnification obligation hereunder. During such time as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will cooperate, and will cause its Representatives to cooperate upon request of the Indemnifying Party and at Indemnifying Party’s cost, in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim, including by furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to defend any Third Party Claim within 20 days after notice thereof (including by affirmatively denying responsibility to defend the Third Party Claim), the Indemnified Party may (without further notice to the Indemnifying Party) undertake the defense thereof with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of enforcement or defense). The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, will have the right to join in (including the right to conduct discovery, interview and examine witnesses and participate in all settlement conferences), but not control, at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other Party is defending as provided in this Agreement.

9.2.3 The Indemnifying Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which will not be unreasonably withheld, enter into any compromise or settlement that commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action. The Indemnified Party will have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief, but will not have the right to settle such Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim involves monetary damages without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will not make any admission of liability in respect of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, and the Indemnified Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate losses arising from the Third Party Claim.

9.3 Set Offs.

If an amount has been claimed by OPI or its Representatives in good faith pursuant to this Agreement (whether or not finally determined to be owed by the Licensors), and if any amount has not yet been fully paid pursuant to Article 5, OPI may set-off such amounts claimed from such payment, notwithstanding any objection by the Licensors and in accordance with Section 5.4.3. The exercise of such right of set-off by Licensors in good faith, whether or not the claim is ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If ultimately the amount alleged by Licensors is determined not to be so owed, then OPI will pay the amount set-off hereunder promptly after such determination.

Page 29
