For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Services.

(a) Advisor agrees to provide consulting, advisory and related services for Xxxxx when reasonably requested by Xxxxx.

Advisor agrees that he will not, during the Consultation Period or for five (5) years thereafter, disclose to others, or use for his or her benefit or the benefit of others, any Proprietary Information or Inventions (as defined below).

(b) Upon termination of this Agreement or at any other time upon request by Xxxxx, the Advisor shall promptly deliver to Xxxxx all documents and materials embodying Proprietary Information.

5. Inventions.

(a) This Agreement is made subject to the understanding that the Advisor is a member of the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco (“Institution”), that he must fulfill certain obligations including teaching, directing laboratory operations, and conducting research; and that as a result of his employment by the Institution, the Institution has certain rights to intellectual property developed by the Advisor. Under no circumstances are any rights to the Institution’s intellectual property conveyed hereunder. No services provided hereunder shall interfere with normal Institution activities. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to conflict with Advisor’s obligations and duties to the Institution, including Advisor’s duties to protect information that is confidential and/or proprietary to the Institution, to not disclose such protected information to Xxxxx or any third party except under a valid agreement of confidentiality, and to fully comply with the UC Patent Policy, the Compensation Plan and other applicable regulations.

(b) Notwithstanding Advisor’s preexisting employment and contractual obligations to Institution, all inventions, discoveries, data, technology, designs, innovations and improvements (whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable) related to the business of Xxxxx, which are made, conceived, written, designed or developed by the Advisor as a direct result of the performance of services hereunder, solely or jointly with others, and whether during normal business hours or otherwise (“Inventions”), shall be the sole property of Xxxxx. Advisor agrees to assign and hereby assigns to Xxxxx all Inventions and any and all related patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and other industrial and intellectual property rights and applications therefor, in the United States and elsewhere, and appoints any officer of Xxxxx as his duly authorized attorney to execute, file, prosecute and protect the same before any government agency, court or authority. Advisor hereby waives all claims to moral rights in all Inventions. Upon the request of Xxxxx and at Akili’s expense, the Advisor shall execute such further assignments, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to fully and completely assign all Inventions to Xxxxx and to assist Xxxxx in applying for, obtaining and enforcing patents or copyrights or other rights in the United States and in any foreign country with respect to any Invention.

(c) Advisor shall promptly disclose to Xxxxx all Inventions and will maintain adequate and current written records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings or in such form as may be specified by Xxxxx) to document the conception and/or first actual reduction to practice of any Invention. Such written records shall be available to and remain the sole property of Xxxxx at all times.

(d) Xxxxx acknowledges that Advisor is an employee of the Institution with preexisting obligations to disclose and assign certain patent rights to the Regents of the University of California (the “Regents”). Xxxxx is informed that Advisor has signed a Patent Agreement with the Regents and under that agreement Advisor has agreed to report any inventions conceived or made during the term of Advisor’s employment at the Institution to the Regents in accordance with the terms of Regent’s Patent Policy. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to interfere with these obligations to the Regents.

(e) Xxxxx by signing this agreement agrees that Advisor cannot assign rights to inventions that relate, at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention, to Institution’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of Institution and/or relate from any work performed by Advisor for the Institution. Xxxxx acknowledges that there are ideas, processes, trademarks, service marks, technology, computer programs, original works for authorship, designs, formulas, inventions, discoveries, patents, copyrights, or improvement to the foregoing produced within the scope of Advisor’s relationship with Institution. These items are the property of Institution and are not subject to the terms of this Agreement.

6. Conflict of Interest.

(a) This Section 6 shall not apply to the development of any Technology in the Field that is offered by Xxxxx for license in good faith if such license is refused by Xxxxx or Xxxxx is unable to agree to the terms of such license.

(b) During the Consultation Period and for a period of one (1) year following the expiration or termination of the Consultation Period, other than in accordance with the existing scientific advisory board and consulting obligations listed in Schedule A, the Advisor shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Xxxxx:

(i) found, co-found, create or be a member of the scientific advisory board of, or provide services to any company involved in the research, design, development, synthesis, commercialization, production and/or marketing in the Field (other than Xxxxx) during the first three (3) years following the formation of such company (i.e. any company that is in existence for three (3) years or less).

(ii) provide any consulting or advisory services in the Field to any venture capital or investment fund other than those funds disclosed to Xxxxx prior to the date hereof.

(iii) recruit, solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any employee or employees of Xxxxx to terminate their employment with, or otherwise cease their relationship with, Xxxxx, as the case may be; or

(iv) divert or take away, or attempt to divert or to take away, the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers, corporate partners or licensors of Xxxxx, or prospective clients, customers, corporate partners or licensors which were contacted, solicited or served by Xxxxx, as the case may be, during the Consultation Period.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 6(a), during the Consultation Period and for a period of one (1) year following the expiration or termination of the Consultation Period, the Advisor’s being a member of the faculty or staff of any university, hospital, or other educational or non-profit research institution, and performance of by the Advisor of services, including research, in such capacity, shall not be deemed a breach of Section 6(a) if the Advisor does not during such period engage in any commercial research or project that would otherwise be prohibited by Section 6(a).

(d) If any restriction set forth in this Section 6 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.

7. Remedies. Advisor acknowledges and agrees that the agreements and restrictions contained in Sections 4, 5 and 6 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of Xxxxx and are reasonable for such purpose. Advisor acknowledges and agrees that any breach of the provisions of Sections 4, 5 and 6 may cause Xxxxx substantial and irreparable damage for which Xxxxx cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone, and, therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, Xxxxx shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages.

8. Independent Contractor Status.

(a) Advisor shall perform all services under this Agreement as an “independent contractor” and not as an employee or agent of Xxxxx.

(b) Advisor is responsible for all taxes (federal, state and local) due with respect to the compensation paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement and shall indemnify and hold Xxxxx and their officers and directors harmless from and against all such liabilities.

(c) Advisor is not authorized to create any liability, obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of, or in the name of, Xxxxx, or to bind Xxxxx in any manner.
