It is understood and agreed that subject matter that is PATENTABLY DISTINCT (defined below) from the subject matter described within the DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS is not within the scope of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS even though that PATENTABLY DISTINCT subject matter may fall within the scope of one or more claims of said DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS. PATENTABLY DISTINCT improvements relating to the subject matter of DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS shall not be considered DUKE PATENT RIGHTS. As used herein, “PATENTABLY DISTINCT” subject matter is subject matter that is novel and unobvious over subject matter described within said DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS.

1.08

“FIELD OF USE” shall mean any and all uses.

1.09

“INVENTOR” means any individual who is identified as an inventor on one or more of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS (in accordance with applicable patent law) and whose contribution as an inventor to such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS was made as result of his/her association with DUKE such that the individual is obligated to assign his/her rights in such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to DUKE.

1.10

“KNOW-HOW” shall mean any research information, technical information, technical data or other confidential information not in the public domain generated at DUKE prior to the EFFECTIVE DATE by one or more of the appertaining INVENTORS of one or more subject DUKE PATENT RIGHTS which relate to and are necessary for the practice of the subject DUKE PATENT RIGHTS and are not claimed in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for avoidance of doubt, KNOW-HOW shall include all unpatented and unpatentable inventions, technology, cell lines, biological materials, compounds, probes, sequences, methodology and uses generated at DUKE by one of the appertaining INVENTORS of one or more subject DUKE PATENT RIGHTS prior to the EFFECTIVE DATE and which relate to and are necessary for the practice of the subject DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, but shall not include any inventions, technology, cell lines, biological materials, compounds, probes, sequences, or methods or any uses thereof (i) which are patented, or (ii) which are the subject(s) of one or more pending patent applications, or (iii) which are patentable but unpatented unless DUKE has provided COMPANY with written notification that it has elected not to pursue patent protection, in which case such items shall be deemed to fall within the scope of KNOW-HOW. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, KNOW-HOW shall not include any such inventions, technology, cell lines, biological materials, compounds, probes, sequences, or methods or any uses thereof which DUKE cannot provide to COMPANY due to (y) other legal obligations of DUKE pursuant to sponsored research, clinical research, material transfer, license, option to license, confidentiality, or other agreements and/or (z) circumstances relating to third-party patent rights.

1.11

“LICENSED PROCESS” shall mean any process which is covered in whole or in part by a claim contained in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS and/or which is derived from use of one or more INVENTIONS claimed in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS. For the purpose of this AGREEMENT, LICENSED PROCESSES shall be deemed to fall within the scope of LICENSED PRODUCTS notwithstanding such process is not literally a “product”.

1.12

“LICENSED PRODUCT” shall mean any product or part thereof which:

(a)

is covered in whole or in part by any claim contained in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS in the country in which any such product or part thereof is made, used or sold; and/or

(b)

is manufactured by using a process or is employed to practice a process which is covered in whole or in part by a claim contained in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS in the country in which any LICENSED PROCESS is used or in which such product or part thereof is used or sold; and/or

(c)

in its intended use, practices, incorporates, or otherwise utilizes, in whole, or in part, a claim contained in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS in the country in which any such product or part thereof is made, used, or sold; and/or

(d)

is derived from use of one or more INVENTIONS claimed in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS.

For avoidance of doubt, a LICENSED PRODUCT shall not include any product for which DUKE MATERIALS or DUKE PATENT RIGHTS are used in connection with the research, development or testing of such product, but into which no DUKE MATERIALS are incorporated unless the manufacture, use or sale of such product would, without the LICENSE granted herein, infringe the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS.

1.13

“LICENSED SERVICE” shall mean any service provided by COMPANY (and/or SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be) to a THIRD PARTY which utilizes one or more LICENSED PRODUCTS and/or LICENSED PROCESSES.

1.14

“LICENSES” shall mean collectively, the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS LICENSE (as defined in Section 2.01 below) and KNOW-HOW LICENSE (as defined in Section 2.02 below).

1.15

“NDA” shall mean a new drug application filed in accordance with 21 U.S.C. § 355, as amended.

1.16

“NET SALES” shall mean:

(a)

in the case of LICENSED PRODUCTS, revenue received by COMPANY (and/or SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be) from sale and/or lease of the subject LICENSED PRODUCTS to a THIRD PARTY; and

(b)

in the case of LICENSED SERVICES, revenue received by COMPANY (and/or SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be) for provision of the subject LICENSED SERVICE to a THIRD PARTY; and

(c)

in the case that one or more LICENSED PRODUCTS and/or LICENSED SERVICES are sold in a combination package or kit containing other active products or processes or services, then NET SALES for purposes of determining DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES due to DUKE on the combination package or kit in accordance with Section 3.01(b) will be calculated using one of the following methods:

(i) By multiplying the net sales of the combination by the fraction A/A+B, where A is the gross selling price, during the royalty-paying period in question, of the subject LICENSED PRODUCT and/or LICENSED SERVICE sold separately, and B is the gross selling price during the royalty period in question, of the other active products, processes or services sold separately; or

(ii) If no separate sales are made of the subject LICENSED PRODUCT and/or LICENSED SERVICE or of the other active agents or processes in such combination package during the royalty-paying period in question, NET SALES will be calculated by dividing the price of the combination by the number of active functions performed by the combination sold and then multiplying that figure by the number of active functions performed by the LICENSED PRODUCT and/or LICENSED SERVICE in that combination where such combination contains active agents or processes other than those licensed under this AGREEMENT. For avoidance of doubt, the number of such active functions shall be determined in good faith by COMPANY and approved by DUKE, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld;

and each of (a) (b), and (c) above shall be less the sum of the following:

(w)

discounts allowed in amounts customary in the trade;

(x)

sales, tariff duties and/or use taxes directly imposed and with reference to particular sales;

(y)

outbound transportation prepaid or allowed; and

(z)

amounts allowed or credited on returns.

No deductions to NET SALES shall be made for commissions paid to individuals whether they are associated with independent sales agencies or regularly employed by COMPANY (and/or SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be) and on its payroll, or for cost of collections. LICENSED PRODUCTS shall be considered “sold” when the consideration for provision thereof is received by COMPANY (and/or

SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be). LICENSED PRODUCTS and LICENSED SERVICES used by COMPANY (and/or SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be) for its own use in the FIELD OF USE (and not in connection with the sale to THIRD PARTIES) shall be considered to be “NET SALES” for purposes of computing royalty obligations, except to the extent that such LICENSED PRODUCTS and/or LICENSED SERVICES are used for clinical field trials or for COMPANY’s own internal non-commercial research (and/or SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be). For avoidance of doubt, NET SALES shall not include royalties, license fees, milestone payments or other consideration received from SUBLICENSEES in consideration of SUBLICENSES. For purposes of illustration and clarification of the preceding sentence, if a SUBLICENSEE has agreed to pay running royalties to COMPANY at a rate of [***] ([***]) of [***] and collects $[***] in [***] in a particular royalty reporting period, then the amount owed to DUKE hereunder as DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES in respect of such NET SALES by such SUBLICENSEE shall be [***] ([***]) of $[***] or $[***] and none of such running royalties payable by such SUBLICENSEE to COMPANY shall be included in NET SALES.

1.17

“SUBLICENSE” and “SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT” shall mean, and include without limitation, any relationship/agreement in which a THIRD PARTY gains any rights—temporary or otherwise—to any of the rights granted by DUKE to COMPANY under this AGREEMENT (including, but not limited to, COMPANY AFFILIATES, assignee(s), licensee(s), sublicensee(s), marketing partner(s) and the like, hereinafter, such THIRD PARTIES referred as “SUBLICENSEES”), including, but not limited to those granted via options, rights of first refusal, material transfer agreements, or sublicenses (implied or expressed).

1.18

“THIRD PARTY” means any individual or other entity other than DUKE and/or COMPANY.

1.19

Where appropriate, words denoting a singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa.

1.20

Certain other defined terms shall have the meanings given them elsewhere in this AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE 2 - LICENSE

2.01

DUKE hereby grants to COMPANY and COMPANY hereby accepts from DUKE, subject to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, an exclusive, world-wide license to DUKE’s rights in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to use and practice the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to make, have made, use, manufacture, have manufactured, market, import, export, offer for sale and sell LICENSED PRODUCTS with applications in the FIELD OF USE, and LICENSED SERVICES for use in the FIELD OF USE (the “DUKE PATENT RIGHTS LICENSE”) until the end of the term for which the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS collectively are granted unless this AGREEMENT shall be sooner terminated according to the terms hereinafter provided.

2.02

DUKE hereby grants to COMPANY and COMPANY hereby accepts from DUKE, subject to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, a non-exclusive license to DUKE’s rights in the KNOW-HOW to use and practice the KNOW-HOW to make, have made, use, manufacture, have manufactured, market, import, export, offer for sale and sell LICENSED PRODUCTS with applications in the FIELD OF USE, and LICENSED SERVICES for use in the FIELD OF USE (the “KNOW-HOW LICENSE”) until the end of the term for which the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS collectively are granted unless this AGREEMENT shall be sooner terminated according to the terms hereinafter provided. The KNOW-HOW LICENSE shall be sublicenseable by LICENSEE, but only in connection with the grant by COMPANY of a SUBLICENSE under all or some of the appertaining DUKE PATENT RIGHTS in the FIELD OF USE. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and acknowledged that nothing in this AGREEMENT shall be construed to restrict DUKE from using the KNOW-HOW as it sees fit (which shall include, but shall not be limited to, the transferring of KNOW-HOW to any THIRD PARTY).

2.03

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, it is understood and agreed that DUKE encourages COMPANY (and/or SUBLICENSEE(S), as the case may be) to secure rights under any THIRD PARTY intellectual property rights required to practice the technology and/or to exercise any and all of the rights practiced or exercised by COMPANY or such SUBLICENSEE(S) (as the case may be) pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02, and that DUKE shall have no responsibility in securing any such rights. Further, if COMPANY (and/or any SUBLICENSEE, as the case may be) secures any such rights to THIRD PARTY intellectual property rights in order to practice the technology and/or to exercise any or all of the rights granted under Sections 2.01 and 2.02, then COMPANY (and/or such SUBLICENSEE, as the case may be) shall use its best efforts to secure from any such THIRD PARTY a covenant not to sue DUKE, or any of its faculty, students, employees or agents, for any research and development efforts conducted at DUKE that resulted in the creation of any of the INVENTIONS and/or KNOW-HOW and/or any licensing thereof, and any intellectual property or other rights arising therefrom, including, but not limited to, DUKE PATENT RIGHTS.

2.04

The LICENSES granted hereunder shall be sublicenseable subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this AGREEMENT (including but not limited to those set forth in Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.05, and 2.06). All SUBLICENSES shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, shall be no less favorable to or protective of DUKE than this AGREEMENT except as expressly stated in this AGREEMENT, and shall not be further sublicenseable without the express written approval of DUKE, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. COMPANY shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of the SUBLICENSE AGREEMENTS. COMPANY further agrees to provide DUKE with a copy of each SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT within [***] ([***]) [***] of its execution by all parties involved.

2.05

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, DUKE hereby retains the following rights pertaining to the INVENTIONS, DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, and DUKE MATERIALS (such rights being retained by Duke without payment of royalties or other fees):

(a)

to use and practice for non-commercial, academic research, teaching, clinical, and educational purposes at DUKE and its affiliated research, teaching, clinical, or educational functions;

(b)

subject to the prior written approval of COMPANY, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, to provide such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS (including, but not limited to, DUKE MATERIALS) to THIRD PARTIES (including, but not limited to, governmental laboratories, institutions of higher learning and research, and commercial entities), but without the right to sublicense such rights, to be used for research purposes only in research funded by one or more governmental agencies (via grants or research contracts) for which any such THIRD PARTY is a grantee, contractor, subcontractor, or collaborator under the research program and for which DUKE is also a grantee, contractor, subcontractor or collaborator under the same contract or under a separate contract related to the same research project (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, COMPANY’s approval shall not be required for provision of DUKE MATERIALS to any such governmental laboratory and/or or institution of higher learning and research that enters into one or more MTAs for the appertaining DUKE MATERIALS for the subject research pursuant to Section 2.05(c)); and

(c)

to provide to governmental laboratories and to other institutions of higher learning and research for non-commercial research purposes, but without the right to sublicense any such rights. Any such transfer of DUKE MATERIALS from Dr. Thomas Tedder’s laboratory at DUKE for activities under this Section 2.05(c) shall be subject to one or more executed materials transfer agreements, sample forms of which are set forth in APPENDIX B attached hereto (“MTAS”). The terms of such MTAS shall not be substantially modified from the forms attached in APPENDIX B without the prior written consent of COMPANY, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

2.06

For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that such THIRD PARTIES associated with the foregoing research activities described in Sections 2.05(b) and/or 2.05(c) shall be deemed to be operating under the rights retained by DUKE under Section 2.05 and shall not be deemed to be infringing DUKE PATENT RIGHTS in the performance of their respective research activities pursuant to Sections 2.05(b) and/or 2.05(c) provided that (i) in the case of research performed by THIRD PARTIES pursuant to Section 2.05(b), the subject THIRD PARTIES

shall be deemed not to be infringing DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to the extent, but only to the extent, that DUKE PATENT RIGHTS are practiced within the scope of the relevant government supported research program, and (ii) in the case of research performed by THIRD PARTIES pursuant to Section 2.05(c), the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS are practiced in accordance with the terms of the appertaining MTA.

2.07

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT and for avoidance of doubt, it is understood and acknowledged that nothing in this AGREEMENT shall be construed to restrict DUKE from using the KNOW-HOW as it sees fit (which shall include, but shall not be limited to, the transferring of KNOW-HOW to any THIRD PARTY, provided that in doing so it does not grant such THIRD PARTY rights to any of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS granted to COMPANY under this AGREEMENT).

2.08

The licenses granted under this AGREEMENT will not be construed to confer any rights upon COMPANY by implication, estoppel or otherwise as to any data, technology, know-how, patents, patent applications or other property rights held by DUKE (solely or jointly) not specifically set forth herein, regardless of whether such property rights are dominant or subordinate to any of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS.

2.09

DUKE hereby discloses to COMPANY and COMPANY acknowledges that the research leading to the INVENTIONS, DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, and KNOW-HOW was funded in part by the U.S. Government, and the parties agree that, notwithstanding any use of descriptive terms such as “exclusive” in Section 2.01 herein and elsewhere in this AGREEMENT, the U.S. Government has certain rights in the INVENTIONS, DUKE PATENT RIGHTS and KNOW-HOW as set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 401 et seq. LICENSEE agrees to comply with all obligations resulting from such government rights, including, but not limited to, the requirement that any products sold in the United States based upon such technology be substantially manufactured in the United States.

2.10

The license granted hereunder shall be subject to Public Law 96-517 and Public Law 98-620. Any right granted in this AGREEMENT which is greater than that permitted under Public Law 96-517 and Public Law 98-620 shall be modified as may be required to conform with the provisions of those laws.

ARTICLE 3 - LICENSE FEE, ROYALTIES AND OTHER FEES

3.01

In consideration of the rights granted to COMPANY pursuant to this AGREEMENT and subject to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, COMPANY agrees to pay or otherwise compensate DUKE as follows:

(a)

Equity Consideration. COMPANY shall issue to DUKE [***] ([***]) shares of COMPANY common stock, $0.001 par value per share (hereinafter, such shares referred to as the “DUKE STOCK”). COMPANY shall issue a certificate representing the DUKE STOCK directly to DUKE

in the name of “Duke University” and shall deliver such certificate evidencing the DUKE STOCK to DUKE within [***] ([***])[***] of the EFFECTIVE DATE. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, such DUKE STOCK is non-refundable. DUKE acknowledges that its interest may be diluted as a result of subsequent sales, issuances, warrant and option grants and other potentially dilutive recapitalizations. Additionally, DUKE shall not, prior to a merger, sale, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of COMPANY or COMPANY completing a public stock offering: (i) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, or encumber any or all of the DUKE STOCK to any THIRD PARTY other than to a DUKE AFFILIATE, or otherwise dispose of all or any of the DUKE STOCK, except with the prior written consent of COMPANY, which consent may be denied in COMPANY’s sole discretion; or (ii) transfer any or all of the DUKE STOCK to any other person, the company, partnership, association, trust, or any other entity whatsoever other than to a DUKE AFFILIATE, without first offering such shares of DUKE STOCK first to COMPANY on substantially similar terms and conditions, and if COMPANY does not elect to purchase all of such shares, then to any holders of COMPANY’s outstanding preferred stock, on a pro-rata basis, as set forth in that certain Amended And Restated Stock Sale and Voting Agreement, dated effective as of the EFFECTIVE DATE of this AGREEMENT (as such Amended And Restated Stock Sale and Voting Agreement may be amended), by and between COMPANY, the Common Holders (as defined therein) and the Investors (as defined therein). As a condition to DUKE’s right to acquire DUKE STOCK, COMPANY may, in its reasonable discretion, require an opinion of counsel for COMPANY that the proposed acquisition will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and DUKE shall have made such additional undertakings and agreements with COMPANY as COMPANY may reasonably require, and that such other steps, if any, as counsel for COMPANY shall deem necessary to comply with any law, rule or regulation applicable to the issuance of such shares by COMPANY shall have been taken by COMPANY or DUKE, or both. In the event that counsel for COMPANY shall issue an opinion that DUKE must make additional undertakings and agreements in order to comply with any law, rule or regulation applicable to the issuance of such shares by COMPANY, and in DUKE’s reasonable judgment such additional undertakings and agreements are unacceptable to DUKE at that time, then DUKE may decline to acquire such shares of DUKE STOCK at that time and reserve its rights to acquire DUKE STOCK in the future. The certificates representing the DUKE STOCK may contain such legends with respect to the foregoing restrictions as counsel for COMPANY shall deem necessary to comply with the applicable laws, rules or regulations. The same restrictions shall apply to all of the initial holders of COMPANY’s common stock. Subject to the last sentence of this Subsection, so long as this AGREEMENT remains in effect, DUKE shall

have the right, in its discretion, to appoint one (1) representative (the “OBSERVER”) to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors of COMPANY and any committee thereof, provided that the OBSERVER may be excluded from any portion or all of any meeting of the Board or committee thereof if, in the judgment of COMPANY’s outside counsel, such attendance would eliminate the attorney-client privilege between the COMPANY or would interfere with the exercise of the fiduciary duties of the Board. In addition, the OBSERVER shall be entitled to receive final copies of all Board and Board committee minutes and written consents. At any time following the effectiveness of a registration statement for the sale of the COMPANY’s shares of Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering registered under the 1933 Act, the right of DUKE to appoint an OBSERVER pursuant to this Subsection shall terminate.

(b)

Royalty on NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and LICENSED SERVICES. At the times and in the manner set forth hereinafter, COMPANY shall pay to DUKE a non-refundable running royalty of [***] ([***]) on NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and LICENSED SERVICES by COMPANY and/or SUBLICENSEES (as the case may be) (hereinafter such running royalty on NET SALES OF LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and LICENSED SERVICES referred to as the “DUKE RUNNING ROYALTY”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if COMPANY (and/or appertaining SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be) obtains, subsequent to the EFFECTIVE DATE, from any THIRD PARTY any licenses and/or sublicenses for patent rights in order to practice DUKE PATENT RIGHTS in the FIELD OF USE or in order to develop, make, have made, use, offer for sale, sell, import, export or provide LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and/or LICENSED SERVICES (as the case may be), then COMPANY (and/or appertaining SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be) shall be entitled to credit its/their payment of additional running royalties to such THIRD PARTY(ies), if any, on LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and/or LICENSED SERVICES (as the case may be) against the DUKE RUNNING ROYALTY for the subject LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and/or LICENSED SERVICES (as the case may be) in the appertaining country(ies) during the appertaining time period, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount payable to DUKE as DUKE RUNNING ROYALTY on NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and LICENSED SERVICES by COMPANY and/or SUBLICENSEES (as the case may be) be reduced to less than [***] ([***]) for the subject LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and/or LICENSED SERVICES (as the case may be) in the appertaining country(ies) during the appertaining time period. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the sake of clarification, it is understood and agreed that any license/sublicense agreement involving

COMPANY (and/or its SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be) and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute covering any technology and/or inventions for which Dr. Thomas Tedder was an inventor prior to the EFFECTIVE DATE including, but not limited to, U.S. Patent No. 5,484,892 (hereinafter such license/sublicense agreement(s) to be referred to as “COMPANY(SUBLICENSEE)/DFCI TEDDER TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT(S)”) shall be considered to be made prior to the EFFECTIVE DATE of this AGREEMENT regardless of the effective date of any of such COMPANY(SUBLICENSEE)/DFCI TEDDER TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT(S) and/or execution date of the same by COMPANY (and/or SUBLICENSEE, as the case may be) and/or Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and, thus, no reduction in the DUKE RUNNING ROYALTY shall apply with respect to COMPANY (SUBLICENSEE)/DFCI TEDDER TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT as a result of the application of the foregoing stacking provision.

(c)

Milestone Payments.

(i) With respect to any LICENSED PRODUCT or LICENSED SERVICE that practices or whose intended use practices an INVENTION claimed in the CD22 APPLICATIONS (as defined in APPENDIX A) and/or in patents in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS arising therefrom and for which regulatory approval is being sought for such intended use, COMPANY shall make the following milestone payments to DUKE within [***] ([***]) [***] of it and/or its SUBLICENSEE(S) (as the case may be) first achieving the following significant regulatory and commercialization milestones:

thereafter to such DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES, milestone payments, and other payments as may be due in accordance with all the terms of this AGREEMENT.

Application of amounts received under (a) above shall in no respect alter the aggregate amount due to DUKE.

3.03

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, except as expressly set forth in Section 1.16, all payments due hereunder shall be paid in full, without deduction of taxes or other fees which may be imposed by any government and which shall be paid by COMPANY (and/or appertaining SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be).

3.04

All payments due from COMPANY pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, and if a payment due pursuant to this AGREEMENT is not paid within [***] ([***]) [***] of the payment due date, any such past due amount shall bear interest at the total rate of the [***], as the case may be) plus [***] ([***]) as of the due date of such payment unless such total rate of interest exceeds the [***] under appertaining North Carolina law, in which case the [***] of interest under appertaining North Carolina law shall apply. The payment of such interest shall not foreclose DUKE from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

3.05

No multiple royalties on NET SALES shall be payable to DUKE on a single LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS and/or LICENSED SERVICE based on the fact that such LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS and/or LICENSED SERVICE (or the manufacture, having manufactured, use, importation, export, or sale thereof) practices more than one of the INVENTIONS, more than one claim in any of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, and/or more than one of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS.

All payments due to DUKE under this, AGREEMENT shall be paid in United States Dollars in Durham, North Carolina, or at such place as DUKE may reasonably designate consistent with the laws and regulations controlling in any foreign country. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with such payments due hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange

rate prevailing at [***] ([***], as the case may be) on the last business day of the reporting period to which such payments relate. If payments are made by wire, electronic or other transfer form for which a fee is charged (“PAYMENT TRANSFER FEES”), COMPANY shall be responsible for the full amount of such PAYMENT TRANSFER FEES and shall use reasonable efforts to pay such fees prior to or at the time of such transfer so that the PAYMENT TRANSFER FEES are not passed on to DUKE. In the event that any such PAYMENT TRANSFER FEES are paid by DUKE, COMPANY shall pay promptly reimburse DUKE for DUKE’s payment of such PAYMENT TRANSFER FEES within [***] ([***]) [***] of COMPANY’s receipt of invoice of the same from DUKE.

ARTICLE 4 - DUE DILIGENCE REQUIREMENTS

4.01

COMPANY shall deliver to DUKE a draft of COMPANY’s business plan within [***] ([***]) [***] of the EFFECTIVE DATE and a final version of COMPANY’s business plan within [***] ([***]) [***] of the EFFECTIVE DATE (hereinafter, the “FINAL COMPANY BUSINESS PLAN”).

4.02

COMPANY shall exert commercially reasonable efforts to bring LICENSED PRODUCTS and/or LICENSED SERVICES to market based on the INVENTIONS claimed in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS and to pursue any required government approvals, and shall continue commercially reasonable active, diligent sales and marketing efforts throughout the life of this AGREEMENT. COMPANY’s diligence will be demonstrated by mutually agreed upon performance obligations to be negotiated in good faith between COMPANY and DUKE, and shall include, but shall not be limited to, such measures as dates by which COMPANY will have acquired specific amounts of funding, dates and/or milestones by which reasonable levels of commercialization will be achieved (hereinafter, such performance obligations and associated time frames for achievement by COMPANY hereinafter referred to as “COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE SCHEDULE”), such COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE SCHEDULE to be documented in writing and attached hereto as APPENDIX C. Negotiation of COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE SCHEDULE shall be in good faith based upon the FINAL COMPANY BUSINESS PLAN and reasonable commercial expectations and shall commence by COMPANY providing DUKE with a draft of proposed COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE SCHEDULE within [***] ([***]) [***] of DUKE’s receipt of the FINAL COMPANY BUSINESS PLAN. COMPANY and DUKE will use reasonable best efforts to conclude the negotiation of COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE SCHEDULE within [***] ([***]) [***] of DUKE’s receipt of the first draft of the proposed COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE SCHEDULE.

4.03

COMPANY shall notify DUKE in writing if COMPANY reasonably believes that it will miss the date of any milestone set forth in COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE SCHEDULE in APPENDIX C by more than [***] ([***]) [***]. If any milestone set forth in COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE SCHEDULE is not reached within [***] ([***]) [***] after the stated time period for such milestone set out in APPENDIX C, or within those amended periods of time approved in writing by DUKE (“AMENDED COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE TARGET PERIOD”), then:

(a)

COMPANY shall notify DUKE in writing within [***] ([***]) [***] following the expiration of the [***] ([***]) [***] (or AMENDED COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE TARGET PERIOD, as the case may be) of COMPANY’s failure to meet such milestone, which notification shall include a description of COMPANY’s progress to date toward achieving such milestone, the reason(s) (if known) for COMPANY’s inability to meet such milestone to date, and a good faith estimate of additional time needed by COMPANY to achieve such milestone;

(b)

COMPANY and DUKE shall engage in good faith discussions during the [***] ([***]) [***] following DUKE’s receipt of the written notice (provided pursuant to Subsection 4.03(a) above) (“COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE RE-NEGOTIATION PERIOD”) to determine whether the parties can agree upon a mutually acceptable extension of time for COMPANY to achieve such milestone;

(c)

if COMPANY and DUKE are unable to agree in writing upon a mutually acceptable extension of time for COMPANY to meet the appertaining milestone by the end of the appertaining COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE RE-NEGOTIATION PERIOD, then DUKE may, at its sole discretion, convert the exclusive LICENSE respecting the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, LICENSED PRODUCT(S), LICENSED PROCESS(ES) and/or LICENSED SERVICE(S) to which such milestone pertained (hereinafter such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, LICENSED PRODUCT(S), LICENSED PROCESS(ES) and/or LICENSED SERVICE(S) to which such milestone pertained referred to collectively as “CONVERTIBLE RIGHTS”) to a non-exclusive LICENSE; provided, however, that:

(i) DUKE shall exercise such conversion right, if at all, within [***] ([***]) [***] following the expiration of the appertaining COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE RE-NEGOTIATION PERIOD by written notice to COMPANY;

(ii) if DUKE exercises such conversion right and converts the applicable exclusive LICENSE to a nonexclusive license, such conversion shall apply only to the CONVERTIBLE RIGHTS and only to extent that such CONVERTIBLE RIGHTS are not practiced, embodied, or utilized in a LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS, and/or LICENSED SERVICE for which COMPANY has, as of the time of potential conversion of such CONVERTIBLE RIGHTS, achieved all applicable milestones set forth in the COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE SCHEDULE within [***] ([***]) [***] of the dates set forth therein or within the appertaining AMENDED COMPANY PERFORMANCE MILESTONE TARGET PERIOD(S), or as set forth in Section 4.03(d);

(iii) upon any such conversion by DUKE of any exclusive LICENSE to a nonexclusive LICENSE pursuant to this Subsection 4.03, then from and after the effective date of such conversion:

(A)

The percentage royalty rate used to compute DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES (pursuant to Subsection 3.01(b) above) shall be reduced from [***] ([***]) [***] ([***]) of NET SALES of the affected LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS or LICENSED SERVICE in the affected country(ies) (before any reduction for stacking of THIRD-PARTY license royalties pursuant to such Subsection).

(B)

COMPANY and/or its appertaining SUBLICENSEES (as the case may be) shall be permitted to credit any running royalties paid to THIRD PARTIES on the affected LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES and/or LICENSED SERVICES (as the case may be) against such DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES (as reduced pursuant to Subsection 4.03(c)(iii)(A) above)); provided, however, that in no event shall the amount payable to DUKE as DUKE RUNNING ROYALTY on NET SALES of the affected LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS, or LICENSED SERVICE (as the case may be) by COMPANY and/or SUBLICENSEES (as the case may be) be reduced to less than [***] ([***]) for the subject LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS, and/or LICENSED SERVICE (as the case may be) in the appertaining country(ies) during the appertaining time period.

(C)

Any future milestone payments under Subsection 3.01(c) applicable to such LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS and/or LICENSED SERVICE (as the case may be) shall be reduced by [***] ([***]) of the amounts set forth in such Subsection.

(D)

The reductions set forth in Subsections 4.03(c)(iii)(A) through (C) shall apply only to those LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and/or LICENSED SERVICES that are solely covered by the nonexclusive LICENSE resulting from such conversion. For purposes of illustration and clarification of this Subsection 4.03(c)(iii)(D), if a LICENSED PRODUCT covered by DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to which COMPANY holds an exclusive LICENSE and DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to which COMPANY holds a nonexclusive LICENSE (following a conversion of such LICENSE by DUKE pursuant to this Subsection 4.03), then the percentage royalty rate used to compute the DUKE RUNNING ROYALTY on NET SALES of such LICENSED PRODUCT and any appertaining milestone payments due DUKE for such LICENSED PRODUCT shall not be reduced pursuant to Subsections 4.03(c)(iii)(A) through (C) above.

(E)

Within [***] ([***]) [***] following COMPANY’s receiving written notification from DUKE of any such conversion, COMPANY shall assign to DUKE all exclusive SUBLICENSES to the extent such exclusive SUBLICENSES pertain to LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and/or LICENSED SERVICES to which COMPANY’s LICENSE from DUKE has been converted from exclusive to nonexclusive. For avoidance of

doubt, if the subject matter of any such exclusive SUBLICENSE is limited solely to LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and/or LICENSED SERVICES to which COMPANY’s LICENSE from DUKE has been converted from exclusive to nonexclusive, then COMPANY shall assign such exclusive SUBLICENSE to DUKE in its entirety; however, if the subject matter of any such exclusive SUBLICENSE includes LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and/or LICENSED SERVICES to which COMPANY’s LICENSE from DUKE has been converted from exclusive to nonexclusive and LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and/or LICENSED SERVICES to which no such conversion is applicable, then COMPANY shall make a partial assignment of such exclusive SUBLICENSE to DUKE to effect an assignment only of those rights to which such conversion pertained. Following any such assignment or partial assignment, as the case may be, COMPANY’s rights under this AGREEMENT to the appertaining rights sublicensed exclusively to the subject SUBLICENSEES (and converted to nonexclusive as to COMPANY pursuant to this Section 4.03) shall terminate as of the effective date of the appertaining assignment(s) or partial assignment(s), as the case may be, to DUKE.

(F)

For any rights that COMPANY retains following any conversion by DUKE pursuant to this Section 4.03, COMPANY will still be responsible to DUKE for any DUKE RUNNING ROYALTY payments and payments with respect to non-royalty income, subject to the applicable reductions set forth above.

(G)

COMPANY shall be responsible for payment of a pro rata share (computed as set forth below) of all DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES for the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to which the conversion pertained. COMPANY’s pro rata share of such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES shall be equal to 1/n of all DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES incurred by DUKE after the effective date of such conversion in connection with the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to which such conversion pertained, where “n” is the total number of organizations holding, at the time any such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES are incurred, an active license from DUKE under the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS giving rise to the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES. For purposes of computing the value of “n,” the number of SUBLICENSEES shall not be included.

(iv) DUKE’s failure to exercise such right of conversion with respect to any CONVERTIBLE RIGHTS shall not constitute a waiver of such conversion right with respect to any subsequent failure by COMPANY to achieve any subsequent milestone.

(v) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this AGREEMENT to the contrary, COMPANY’s failure to meet any performance milestone set forth in APPENDIX C shall not be deemed an event of default by COMPANY giving rise to any right of termination of this AGREEMENT by DUKE pursuant to Article 10. Rather, DUKE’s rights and remedies for a failure by COMPANY to achieve any milestone set forth in APPENDIX C shall be limited to the conversion rights set forth in this Section 4.03.

(d)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.03, in the event COMPANY achieves such milestone prior to DUKE’s exercise of any applicable right of conversion as evidenced by DUKE’s receipt of written documentation from COMPANY of such achievement prior to the date of DUKE’s exercise of the applicable right of conversion, then such milestone shall be deemed to have been met for purposes of this AGREEMENT and DUKE’s right to convert the appertaining LICENSE(S) to nonexclusive shall terminate with respect to such milestone.

4.04

During the term of this AGREEMENT, COMPANY will submit annual progress reports to DUKE as set forth in Section 5.02. DUKE shall have the right to request one (1) meeting per year to discuss such information with representatives of COMPANY at mutually acceptable times and places. It is agreed that should any of DUKE’s personnel be required by COMPANY to consult with COMPANY outside of Durham, North Carolina, COMPANY will reimburse reasonable travel and living expenses incident thereto.

ARTICLE 5 - REPORTS AND RECORDS

5.01

COMPANY shall keep full, true and accurate books of accounts and other records containing all particulars which may be necessary to properly ascertain and verify the amounts payable to DUKE hereunder and shall require SUBLICENSEES, as the case may be, to do the same. Said books of account shall be kept at COMPANY’s (and/or SUBLICENSEES’) principal place of business or the principal place of business of the appropriate division of COMPANY (and/or SUBLICENSEE) to which this AGREEMENT relates. Said books and the supporting data shall be open at mutually agreed upon times during regular business hours for [***] ([***]) [***] following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain, to the inspection of DUKE or a mutually acceptable certified public accountant for the purpose of verifying COMPANY’s (and/or SUBLICENSEE’s) royalty statement or compliance in other respects with this AGREEMENT. Should such inspection lead to the discovery of a greater than [***] ([***]) discrepancy in reporting, COMPANY agrees to reimburse DUKE for the out-of-pocket cost of such inspection in addition to any amounts due to DUKE, such amounts to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.04.

5.02

COMPANY shall report the status of development of each LICENSED PRODUCT annually to DUKE by [***] of each year. Such report shall include descriptions of COMPANY’s (and/or SUBLICENSEES’, as the case may be) plans and commercially reasonable estimated timeframes for testing, development, governmental approvals and marketing/sale of each LICENSED PRODUCT.

5.03

After the first commercial sale of a LICENSED PRODUCT, and in addition to the reports required under Section 5.02, COMPANY shall render to DUKE prior to [***] and [***] of each year a written account of the NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS and/or LICENSED SERVICES made by COMPANY and/or SUBLICENSEES (as the case may be) by during the prior six-month period ending [***] and [***], respectively, and shall simultaneously pay to DUKE the DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES due on such NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS and/or LICENSED SERVICES in United States dollars. Reports tendered shall include the calculation of DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES by product by country in substantially the format provided in APPENDIX D hereto.

ARTICLE 6 - PATENTS

6.01

Patent Prosecution

(a)

Except as expressly set forth in Section 6.01(b), DUKE shall, at its sole discretion, apply for, prosecute, and maintain the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS during the term of this AGREEMENT. DUKE will use reasonable commercial efforts to file, prosecute and maintain the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS. DUKE will keep COMPANY advised as to all developments with respect to, and will promptly deliver to COMPANY (or cause DUKE’s patent counsel promptly to deliver to COMPANY) all official documents and correspondence relating to the prosecution of, the DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS, and/or applicable or related continuation, continuation-in-part and reissue application(s) within the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS and respecting the maintenance and validity of all DUKE PATENTS issued or issuing with respect thereto. COMPANY will have (i) the right to review DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS and to make recommendations regarding the prosecution of such DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS, (ii) the right to receive such DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS and related official documentations at such time as to allow a reasonable period for review thereof prior to any applicable deadline for filing or responding, and (iii) the right to request amendments of any such DUKE PATENT APPLICATION to include claims or arguments as may be appropriate for obtaining a patent claiming commercially relevant inventions. Upon request by DUKE and/or its agents, COMPANY shall promptly inform DUKE in writing which non-U.S. countries, if any, in which COMPANY desires patent protection and DUKE PATENT RIGHTS shall reflect such designations provided that COMPANY bears the associated costs as set forth in Section 6.02(a). DUKE may elect to seek patent protection in countries not so designated by COMPANY, in which case DUKE shall notify COMPANY in writing of such election, and from the date of such filing of such DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS by DUKE in such undesignated countries, such DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS and

resulting patents shall not be considered DUKE PATENT RIGHTS (and/or DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS) in such countries and COMPANY shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights under this AGREEMENT to such DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS and resulting patents in such countries. (APPENDIX A shall be deemed to be so amended.) It is understood and agreed that all final decisions with respect to prosecution and maintenance of DUKE PATENT RIGHTS are reserved to DUKE.

(b)

COMPANY shall have the right to assume primary responsibility for all activities associated with the prosecution S of DUKE PATENT RIGHTS during the term of this AGREEMENT, provided that it first provides DUKE with written notice of its desire to assume such responsibilities and obtains DUKE’s written approval of the legal counsel that COMPANY shall retain for such purposes, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. It is understood and agreed that in the event COMPANY assumes such responsibilities pursuant to this Section 6.01(b), COMPANY shall keep DUKE advised as to the status of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS and COMPANY’s designated patent attorneys will provide DUKE, in a timely manner, with copies of all official documents and correspondence relating to the prosecution, maintenance, and validity of the appertaining DUKE PATENT RIGHTS. COMPANY shall consult with DUKE in such prosecution and maintenance, shall diligently seek advice of DUKE on all matters pertaining to the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, shall diligently seek appropriate claims under the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, and shall not abandon prosecution of any DUKE PATENT RIGHTS without first notifying DUKE in a timely manner of COMPANY’s intention and reason therefor, and providing DUKE with reasonable opportunity to assume responsibility for prosecution and maintenance of the appertaining DUKE PATENT RIGHTS (which thereafter shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.02(b) as regards status as DUKE PATENT RIGHTS and LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and LICENSED SERVICES and COMPANY’s rights therein). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, it is understood and agreed all final decisions with respect to the prosecution and maintenance of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS by COMPANY pursuant to this Section 6.01(b) shall be made by DUKE. COMPANY’s obligations under this Section 6.01(b) shall include, without limitation, an obligation to inform DUKE in a timely manner (no less than [***] ([***]) [***] prior to the appertaining filing deadlines) that COMPANY will not pursue patents in any non-US country so that DUKE may pursue such patents if it so desires in which case, from the date of such filing of such PATENT APPLICATIONS by DUKE, such PATENT APPLICATIONS and resulting DUKE PATENTS shall not be considered DUKE PATENT RIGHTS in such non-U.S. country and COMPANY shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights under this AGREEMENT to such PATENT APPLICATIONS and resulting DUKE PATENTS in such non-U.S. country (APPENDIX A). For avoidance of doubt, it is understood that COMPANY shall assume direct and full responsibility for payment of DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES it incurs as a result of its assumption of responsibility for prosecution of DUKE PATENT RIGHTS under this Section 6.01(b).

6.02

Patent Costs.

(a)

During the term of this AGREEMENT, payment of all DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES relating to the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS shall be the responsibility of COMPANY, whether such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES were incurred before or after the EFFECTIVE DATE of this AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, except in cases in which COMPANY declines interest in non-U.S. patent pursuit, COMPANY shall be responsible for all DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES associated with the preparation and filing of the PCT application(s) contained within the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS as well as all DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES associated with pursuit and maintenance of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS. COMPANY will pay all such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES within [***] ([***]) [***] of receipt of an invoice for the same, and failure to pay each such invoice within such [***] ([***]) [***] period shall be a default hereunder for which DUKE may terminate this AGREEMENT in accordance with Section 10.04. In addition to the foregoing, within [***] ([***]) [***] of the EFFECTIVE DATE of this AGREEMENT, COMPANY shall pay to DUKE the amount of [***] (U.S.$ [***]) as reimbursement for DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES that were incurred by DUKE and for which the invoices had been received and processed by DUKE before the EFFECTIVE DATE. If at any time COMPANY fails to reimburse DUKE for any DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES within the [***] ([***]) [***] period following receipt of a subject invoice, then henceforth during the term of this AGREEMENT, DUKE may, at its sole discretion, require COMPANY to make payment for estimated associated DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES (which estimates shall reasonably be made in good faith by the patent counsel prosecuting the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS) prior to incurring such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES, including, but without limitation, DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES associated with national phase filings of DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS, preparation and filing of responses to patent office actions on DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS, such requirement by DUKE not to preclude DUKE from exercising any other recourse it may have under this AGREEMENT as regards lack of prompt reimbursement of DUKE PATENT RIGHTS EXPENSES by COMPANY.

(b)

If COMPANY decides to discontinue the financial support of the prosecution or maintenance of a subject DUKE PATENT APPLICATION or patent falling within the scope of DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, COMPANY will give DUKE timely written notice at least [***] ([***]) [***] in advance of the effective date of COMPANY’s decision and DUKE

will be free to continue prosecution or maintenance of any such DUKE PATENT APPLICATION(S) or DUKE PATENT(S) as the case may be, and to maintain any protection issuing thereon in the U.S. and in any foreign country at DUKE’s sole expense. In such instances, from the effective date specified in such written notice from COMPANY, such DUKE PATENT(S) and/or DUKE PATENT APPLICATION(S) shall no longer be considered to fall within the definition of DUKE PATENT RIGHTS (APPENDIX A shall be deemed to be so amended) and COMPANY shall forfeit all rights under this AGREEMENT to the subject issued DUKE PATENT(s) and/or subject DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS and DUKE PATENT(s) arising from such DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS. Accordingly, DUKE shall be free to license such DUKE PATENT(s) and DUKE PATENT APPLICATIONS to THIRD PARTIES or otherwise dispose of such DUKE PATENT(s) and DUKE PATENT APPLICATION(S) as it deems appropriate.

6.03

COMPANY agrees to mark the LICENSED PRODUCTS, and/or their containers, labels, and/or other packaging (as the case may be), in such a manner as to conform to the patent laws and regulations of the country of manufacture or sale, as appropriate.

ARTICLE 7 - INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS

7.01

In the event that DUKE or COMPANY is charged with infringement of a patent by a THIRD PARTY or is made a party in a civil action as a result of the activity of COMPANY and/or a SUBLICENSEE (and not from the activity of DUKE or its AFFILIATES other than the granting of the LICENSES to COMPANY) as a result (directly or indirectly) of the LICENSES granted hereunder to COMPANY, COMPANY:

(a)

must defend and/or settle any such claim of infringement or civil action;

(b)

shall have the right to control the defense of any such claim or action;

(c)

must assume all costs, expenses, damages, and other obligations for payments incurred as a consequence of such charges of infringement and/or civil action;

(d)

must indemnify and hold DUKE harmless from any and all damages, losses, liability, and costs resulting from a charge of infringement or civil action which shall be brought against DUKE and attributable to technology added to, incorporated into or sold with a LICENSED PRODUCT and/or LICENSED SERVICE by COMPANY, and/or SUBLICENSEE (as the case may be) or to manufacturing processes utilized by COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE (as the case may be); and

(e)

may, if such claim of infringement or civil action shall be based on patent claims contained in any pending or issued patent included in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, terminate this AGREEMENT effective immediately upon DUKE’s receipt of written notice of termination.

For avoidance of doubt, COMPANY shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless DUKE from or against any claims, damages, or civil actions to the extent, and only to the extent, that such claims, damages, and/or civil actions are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of DUKE, DUKE employees, DUKE faculty members, students, and/or agents acting solely within the performance of their respective responsibilities at DUKE.

7.02

DUKE will give COMPANY reasonable assistance, at COMPANY’s expense, in the defense of any such infringement charge or lawsuit, as may be reasonably required. COMPANY shall reimburse DUKE for such expenses within [***] ([***]) [***] of receiving an invoice for the same.

ARTICLE 8 -INFRINGEMENT OF DUKE PATENT RIGHTS BY THIRD PARTIES

8.01

Each party to this AGREEMENT is obligated to inform the other promptly in writing of any alleged infringement of which it becomes aware and of any available evidence of infringement by a THIRD PARTY of any patents within the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS.

8.02

If during the term of this AGREEMENT, COMPANY becomes aware of any alleged infringement by a THIRD PARTY, COMPANY shall have the right, but not the obligation, to either:

(a)

settle the infringement suit by sublicensing the alleged infringer or by other means; or

(b)

prosecute at its own expense any infringement of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, when, in its judgment, such action may be reasonably necessary and justified. In the event COMPANY prosecutes such infringement of DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, COMPANY may, for such purposes and subject to the express, prior written approval of DUKE (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), use the name of DUKE as party plaintiff; provided, however, that all costs associated therewith shall be borne by COMPANY.

DUKE, at its sole discretion, may join any legal proceeding brought by COMPANY under this Article, using DUKE’s own counsel and at DUKE’s own expense. If DUKE elects to join as a party plaintiff pursuant to this Article, DUKE may jointly participate in the action with COMPANY, but COMPANY’s counsel will be lead counsel.

8.03

In the event COMPANY initiates legal proceedings against an infringer and DUKE does not join the proceeding, COMPANY may deduct up to [***] ([***]) of COMPANY’s documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the proceeding (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) from the DUKE RUNNING ROYALTY in respect of NET SALES of the subject LICENSED PRODUCTS or LICENSED SERVICES in the appertaining countries covered by the patent(s)-in-suit.

8.04

In any such legal proceeding brought by COMPANY, DUKE or jointly by COMPANY and DUKE, any recovery or proceeds of such proceeding, whether characterized as damages, costs, attorneys’ fee awards or otherwise, will be distributed as follows: (a) each party will first be reimbursed pro rata for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with the proceeding, including but not limited to, DUKE’s recovery of a sum equivalent to the total amount of DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES, if any, deducted by COMPANY under Section 8.03 above; (b) COMPANY will second recover an amount equal to its lost profits or a reasonable royalty (whichever measure of damages has been applied in the legal proceeding or settlement thereof); (c) DUKE will then receive the amount for DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES that COMPANY would have owed to DUKE if COMPANY, or if COMPANY has granted a sublicense respecting the patent(s)-in-suit, such sublicensee, had made the infringer’s sales directly, to the extent such award compensates COMPANY for such sales or lost profit on such sales or such reasonable royalties on such sales, provided that the amount of such DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES shall not exceed the amount of any lost profits or reasonable royalty award (whichever measure of damages has been applied in the legal proceeding or settlement thereof); and (d) the balance, if any, will be divided on a pro rata basis between the parties according to their respective percentage contributions to the total documented cost and expense of the proceeding, including each party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and including the total amount of DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES to DUKE, if any, deducted by COMPANY under the preceding sentence.

8.05

In the event COMPANY does not undertake action to prevent the infringing activity within [***] ([***]) [***] of having been made aware and notified thereof, DUKE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute at its own expense any such infringements of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS and, in furtherance of such right, DUKE may, subject to the express, prior written approval of COMPANY (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) use the name of COMPANY as a party plaintiff in any such suit without expense to COMPANY. The total cost of any such infringement action commenced or defended solely by DUKE shall be borne by DUKE. Any recovery of damages by DUKE for any infringement shall be applied first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and attorneys’ fees of DUKE relating to the suit, and second toward reimbursement of COMPANY’s reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, relating to the suit. Any balance remaining from such recovery shall be distributed between COMPANY and DUKE with DUKE receiving [***] ([***]) and COMPANY receiving [***] ([***]).

8.06

In any infringement suit instituted by either party to enforce the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, the other party hereto shall, at the request and expense of the party initiating such suit, reasonably cooperate in all respects and, to the extent reasonably possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like.

8.07

COMPANY has the sole right in accordance with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT to sublicense any DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to an alleged infringer under the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS in order to avoid or settle claims of infringement in the future.

8.08

Any of the foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time during the term of this AGREEMENT any of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS are held invalid or unenforceable in a decision which is not appealable or is not appealed within the time allowed, COMPANY shall have no further obligations to DUKE with respect to its future use or sale of any LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSED PROCESS and/or LICENSED SERVICE covered solely by such DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, including the obligation of paying DUKE RUNNING ROYALTIES. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that in such event, COMPANY shall not have any damage claim or any claim for refund or reimbursement against DUKE for any amounts previously paid to DUKE under this AGREEMENT, including, but not limited to, the issuance of the DUKE STOCK.

ARTICLE 9 - GOVERNMENT CLEARANCE, PUBLICATION, EXPORT

9.01

Insofar as such clearance is required, COMPANY agrees to use its best efforts to have the LICENSED PRODUCTS cleared for marketing in those countries in which COMPANY intends to sell LICENSED PRODUCTS by the responsible government agencies requiring such clearance. To accomplish said clearances at the earliest possible date, COMPANY agrees to file or have filed any necessary data with said government agencies as quickly as is commercially reasonable.

9.02

It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, the right of publication/public disclosure of the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS shall reside in the INVENTORS, faculty, staff, and students of DUKE provided that, for a period of [***] ([***]) [***] from the EFFECTIVE DATE, if any proposed publication or public disclosure by the appertaining INVENTORS includes information generated at DUKE respecting any of the INVENTIONS claimed in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS, then DUKE, via Dr. Tedder, shall give COMPANY written notice at least [***] ([***]) [***] prior to such publication/public disclosure in order to afford COMPANY the opportunity to file or have filed, at its expense, appropriate patent applications to the extent, but only to the extent, that such patent application fall within the scope of DUKE PATENT RIGHTS. COMPANY may publish the results of research conducted by COMPANY, provided that such publications do not reveal the results of research conducted at DUKE without the prior written consent of those who performed such research at DUKE.

9.03

This AGREEMENT is subject to all of the United States laws and regulations controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes and other commodities and technology. It is understood that DUKE is subject to United States laws and regulations controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes and other commodities (including the Arms Export Control Act, as amended and the Export Administration Act of 1979), and that its obligations hereunder are contingent on compliance with applicable United States export laws and regulations. The transfer of certain technical data and commodities may require a license from the cognizant agency of the United States Government and/or written assurances by COMPANY that COMPANY shall not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without prior approval of such agency. DUKE neither represents that a license shall not be required nor that, if required, it shall be issued.

ARTICLE 10 - DURATION AND TERMINATION

10.01

This AGREEMENT shall become effective upon the EFFECTIVE DATE, and unless sooner terminated in accordance with any of the provisions herein, shall remain in full force and effect for the life of the last-to-expire of the patents included in the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS.

10.02

COMPANY may terminate this AGREEMENT by giving DUKE written notice at least three (3) months prior to the effective date of such termination. It is understood that COMPANY shall remain responsible for the timely payment of all amounts due DUKE under this AGREEMENT through the effective date of such termination.

10.03

Either party may immediately terminate this AGREEMENT upon any judgment or conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction holding that the other party has committed fraud, willful misconduct, or illegal conduct of the other party, in all such cases with respect to the subject matter of this AGREEMENT, upon written notice of same to that other party.

10.04

If either party fails to fulfill any of its material obligations under this AGREEMENT including, but not limited to, lack of payment, the non-breaching party may terminate this AGREEMENT, upon written notice to the breaching party, as provided below. Such notice must contain a full description of the event or occurrence constituting a material breach of the AGREEMENT. The party receiving notice of the material breach will have the opportunity to cure that breach within the applicable time period, as follows: (a) with respect to a breach of a payment obligation, within [***] ([***]) [***] of receipt of notice, or (b) with respect to a breach of an obligation other than a payment obligation, within [***] ([***]) [***] of receipt of such notice. If the breach is not cured within the applicable cure period, the termination will be effective as of the next day following the expiration of such cure period. A party’s right to cure a material breach of this AGREEMENT pursuant to this Section 10.04 will apply only to the first three (3) material breaches occurring within the same twenty-four (24) month period properly noticed under the terms of this AGREEMENT, regardless of the nature of those material breaches. Any subsequent material breach by that party will entitle the nonbreaching party to terminate this AGREEMENT upon receipt of notice by the breaching party, where such notice must contain a full description of the event or occurrence constituting a material breach of this AGREEMENT.

10.05

If during the term of this AGREEMENT, COMPANY shall (a) voluntarily declare or seek protection under bankruptcy or insolvency laws, (b) have an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against it, which petition is not dismissed within [***] ([***]) [***] following its filing, (c) have its business placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee and the appointment of such receiver or trustee if not dissolved within [***] ([***]) [***], or if (d) COMPANY shall cease to exist as an active business, then this AGREEMENT shall immediately terminate.

10.06

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, neither the expiration nor any termination of this AGREEMENT shall remove any financial obligations to DUKE which COMPANY incurred under this AGREEMENT prior to or as of the effective date of any expiration or termination.

10.07

All SUBLICENSES will be assigned to and assumed DUKE in the event the AGREEMENT is terminated.

10.08

On or before the effective date of any expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, COMPANY shall cease the manufacture, use, practice, lease, and sale, offering, distribution, and other commercialization of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES, and LICENSED SERVICES. For avoidance of doubt, any SUBLICENSE in existence as of the effective date of any termination shall be unaffected by such termination other than the assignment and assumption provided for in Section 10.07.

10.09

Within [***] ([***]) [***] of any expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, COMPANY shall (i) return to DUKE or destroy, as directed by DUKE, all information, data, and any relevant materials provided to COMPANY during the term of this AGREEMENT (including, but not limited to, DUKE MATERIAL and KNOW-HOW), other than any of the foregoing items in the possession of a SUBLICENSEE, and (ii) destroy all LICENSED PRODUCTS (other than LICENSED PRODUCTS in the possession of any SUBLICENSEE or customer) in a safe and legal manner. Further, COMPANY within such [***] ([***]) [***] period shall provide DUKE with a written statement signed by an authorized representative of COMPANY certifying the destruction of all LICENSED PRODUCTS (other than LICENSED PRODUCTS in the possession of any SUBLICENSEE or customer) in a safe and legal manner, as well as the destruction of all said information, data, and relevant materials (including, but not limited to, DUKE MATERIAL and all KNOW-HOW), other than any of the foregoing items in the possession of a SUBLICENSEE, if such instructions for destruction are given by DUKE.

ARTICLE 11 - CONFIDENTIALITY

11.01

DUKE and COMPANY each agree to treat any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed to it by the other party under this AGREEMENT with reasonable care and to avoid disclosure of such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to any other person, firm or corporation, except AFFILIATES bound by the obligations of confidentiality and restricted use set forth in this Article 11, and either party shall be liable for unauthorized disclosure or failure to exercise such reasonable care. Further, the receiving party will not use the disclosing party’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION other than for the benefit of the parties hereto and in connection with such receiving party’s performance of its obligations under this AGREEMENT. These obligations of non-disclosure and restricted use shall remain in effect for each subject disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION for a period of time of [***] ([***]) [***] from such disclosure; however, neither party shall have an obligation, with respect to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed to it, or any part thereof, which:

(a)

is already known to the receiving party at the time of the disclosure;

(b)

becomes publicly known without the wrongful act or breach of this AGREEMENT by the receiving party;

(c)

is rightfully received by the receiving party from a THIRD PARTY on a non-confidential basis;

(d)

is subsequently and independently developed by employees of the receiving party who had no knowledge of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, as verified by written records;

(e)

is approved for release by prior written authorization of the party disclosing the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; or

(f)

is disclosed pursuant to any judicial or government request, requirement or order, provided that the party so disclosing takes reasonable steps to provide the other party sufficient prior notice in order to contest such request, requirement or order and provided and provided that such disclosed CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION otherwise remains subject to the obligations of confidentiality set forth in this Article 11.

If either party discloses CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION directly to Dr. Thomas Tedder, such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall not be deemed to have been received by the other party.

11.02

DUKE and COMPANY agree that any information to be treated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION under this Article 11 must be disclosed in writing or other tangible medium and must be clearly marked “CONFIDENTIAL”. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed orally must be identified as “CONFIDENTIAL” at the time of the oral disclosure and thereafter summarized and reduced to writing or other tangible medium, marked “CONFIDENTIAL”, and communicated to the other party within [***] ([***]) [***] of such disclosure. For avoidance of doubt, electronic transmissions of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall be deemed to have been disclosed in a tangible medium.

11.03

Notwithstanding the foregoing, COMPANY shall have the right to use and disclose any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION related to the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS to investors, prospective investors, employees, consultants and agents with a need to know, collaborators, prospective collaborators and other THIRD PARTIES in the chain of manufacturing and distribution provided that COMPANY obtains from such parties written confidentiality agreements, the provisions of which are at least as restrictive and protective of DUKE’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION as those provided in this Article 11.

11.04

Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 11.01, but not notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, all information relating to filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense, infringement, and the like regarding the DUKE PATENT RIGHTS (no matter how disclosed), shall be considered CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of DUKE and subject to the obligations of restricted use and non-disclosure set forth in this Article 11.

[Recipient Institution Name Here]

[City, State, and Country where Recipient Institution Located Here] (“Recipient Institution”)

Definitions:

Recipient Institution’s Scientist:

Original Material:

Progeny: Unmodified descendant from the Original Material, such as cell from cell, or organism from organism.

Unmodified Derivatives: Substances created by Recipient Institution which constitute an important unmodified functional sub-unit or expression product of the Original Material, e.g., subclones of unmodified cell lines, purified or fractionated sub-sets of the Original Material such as novel plasmids or vectors, proteins expressed by DNA or RNA, antibodies secreted by a hybridoma.

Material: Original Material plus Progeny and Unmodified Derivatives.

Modifications: Substances created by Recipient Institution which contain/incorporate any form of the Material (Original Material, Progeny or Unmodified Derivatives).

Information: All information disclosed to Recipient Institution by Duke relating to the Material and/or Modifications.

Research Purpose:

Terms and Conditions of this Agreement:

1. (a) The Material, which is the subject of one or more agreements with Cellective Therapeutics, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware and having a place of business in Durham, North Carolina (“Licensee”), is and remains the property of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. (“DFCI”) (subject to certain rights granted to Licensee) and is to be used by Recipient Institution solely for a non-commercial Research Purpose.

(b) Except as is mutually agreed upon in writing in advance by DFCI, Duke and Recipient Institution, the Material is to be used by Recipient Institution at Recipient Institution’s institutional facilities only, and only under the direction of Recipient Institution’s Scientist.

(c) Except as set forth in Paragraph 4 and as claimed in [***] and [***], [***], and [***] owned by DFCI, neither DFCI nor Duke claims ownership of substances and Modifications produced as a result of Recipient Institution’s research with the Material that are not included in the definition of Material above.

(d) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no rights are provided to Recipient Institution under any patent applications, patents, trade secrets or other proprietary rights of DFCI and/or Duke. In particular, no rights are provided to use the Material or Modifications for profit-making or commercial purposes, such as sale; use in manufacturing; use in drug screening, evaluation, or design programs; or provision of a commercial service based upon the Material or Modifications.

(e) If Recipient Institution desires to use the Material or Modifications for such profit-making or commercial purposes, Recipient Institution agrees that it must first negotiate a license or other appropriate agreement with DFCI and/or Duke and/or Licensee, as the case may be, and it is further understood by Recipient Institution that neither DFCI nor Duke shall have any obligation to enter into such a license or agreement and in fact may grant exclusive or non-exclusive commercial licenses to others.

(f) Recipient Institution represents that research with the Material and/or Modifications will not be subject to the terms of any consultant, option, license, or sponsored research agreement in which a third party (other than the government) gains rights to the research results and/or the intellectual property arising from research with the Material and/or Modifications without the express, prior written approval of DFCI, Duke or Licensee.

2. Recipient Institution’s Scientist agrees not to transfer the Material or Modifications to anyone who does not work under his or her direct supervision at Recipient Institution without the express, prior written consent of DFCI and Duke. To the extent supplies are available, DFCI and/or Duke will make the Material available under a material transfer agreement substantially similar to this Agreement upon request from appropriate scientists at non-profit or governmental institutions for the purpose of replicating Recipient Institution’s Scientist’s research.

3. Recipient Institution agrees to hold confidential all Information except as such Information: (a) can be demonstrated was known by the Recipient Institution at the time of disclosure; (b) becomes part of the public domain, except by breach of this Agreement by Recipient Institution; (c) is rightfully received by Recipient Institution from a third party without an obligation of confidence to DFCI, Duke or Licensee; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient Institution’s personnel who have not had access to Information, Material or Modifications as demonstrated by competent written proof. Recipient Institution’s obligations of nondisclosure of Information shall terminate [***] ([***]) [***] from the date that this Agreement is signed by Duke.

4. If Recipient Institution’s research results in an invention, a new use, or a product based on, containing, or relating to the Material or Modifications (collectively referred to as “Invention”), Recipient Institution agrees promptly to disclose the Invention to Duke and DFCI on a confidential basis. Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with U.S. patent law (whether or not patentable) and ownership shall reflect inventorship. In the case of a jointly owned invention between Duke and the Recipient Institution or among Duke, DFCI and Recipient Institution (“Joint Invention”), the appertaining parties agree to negotiate a joint invention agreement which shall provide for fair and equitable sharing of patent costs, income, and invention management responsibilities based on the respective parties’ contributions to the Joint Invention. If Recipient Institution decides not to pursue the further development of a joint Invention hereunder, Duke and/or DFCI may elect to pursue the patenting or commercial development of said Joint Invention with third parties. If either Recipient Institution or Duke or DFCI is the sole inventor of any Invention, that party shall be free to dispose of such Invention as it sees fit. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Duke and DFCI shall each have the right to use for its own respective non-profit research and teaching purposes any Inventions developed through use of the Material and/or Modifications under this Agreement without payment of license or royalty fees.

5. Recipient Institution’s Scientist agrees to provide appropriate acknowledgment of DFCI and Duke as the source of the Material in all publications and presentations based on use of the Material and/or Modifications, and agrees to furnish Duke with a courtesy copy of all public disclosures of results of research using the Materials and Modifications.

6. Any Material delivered pursuant to this Agreement is understood to be experimental in nature, and NEITHER DUKE NOR DFCI MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS NOR EXTENDS ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT THE USE OF THE MATERIAL AND/OR MODIFICATIONS WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, OR OTHER RIGHTS, OR THAT THE MATERIAL AND/OR MODIFICATIONS WILL NOT POSE A SAFETY OR HEALTH RISK.

7. Recipient Institution agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Duke and DFCI from any loss, claim, damage, or liability, of any kind whatsoever, which may arise from Recipient Institution’s receipt, use, storage or disposal of the Material and/or Modifications, and Recipient Institution assumes liability for damages which may arise from its receipt, use, storage or disposal of the Material and/or Modifications.

8. In no event shall the Material and/or Modifications be used in human beings (including for diagnostic purposes) except as is mutually agreed upon in writing in advance by DFCI, Duke and Recipient Institution and further provided, that any other research involving the Material (including but not limited to research involving the use of animals and recombinant DNA) shall be conducted in accordance with all federal, state, local and other laws, regulations, and ordinances governing such research including applicable NIH guidelines.

9. Notices or other correspondence required by this Agreement shall be sent via national/international courier service to both Duke and DFCI at the following addresses, respectively:

Terms and Conditions of this Agreement:

1. (a) The Material, which is the subject of one or more agreements between Duke and Cellective Therapeutics, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware and having a place of business in Durham, North Carolina (“Licensee”), is and remains the property of Duke (subject to certain rights granted to Licensee) and is to be used by Recipient Institution solely for a non-commercial Research Purpose. Material shall be used at Recipient Institution’s institutional facilities only, and only under the direction of Recipient Institution’s Scientist.

(b) Duke and Licensee do not claim ownership of Modifications produced as a result of Recipient Institution’s research with the material that are not included in the definition of Material above except as Duke as a co-owner of the Modifications via inventorship; however, Duke shall retain ownership of any form of the Material included therein.

(c) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no rights are provided to Recipient Institution under any patents, patent applications, trade secrets or other proprietary rights of Duke and/or Licensee. This Agreement does not confer to the Recipient Institution any rights or licenses to use the Material or Modifications for profit-making or commercial purposes, such as sale; use in manufacturing; provision of a commercial service based upon the Material or Modifications; or use the Material or Modifications as the subject of collaboration or sponsored research agreements under which rights may be granted to a third party (other than the government).

(d) Recipient Institution represents that research with the Material and/or Modifications will not be subject to the terms of any consultant, option, license, material transfer agreement, sponsored research agreement or any other agreement in which another party (other than the government) gains rights to commercially develop or market the intellectual property arising from research with the Material and/or Modifications.

2. The Recipient Institution’s Scientist shall not transfer the Material or Modifications to anyone who does not work under his or her direct supervision at Recipient Institution’s institutional facility without the prior written consent of Duke and Licensee. To the extent supplies are available, Duke will make the Material available under a material transfer agreement substantially identical to this Agreement upon request from appropriate scientists at non-profit or governmental institutions for the purpose of replicating Recipient Institution’s Scientist’s research.

3. Recipient Institution agrees to hold confidential all Information except as such Information: (a) can be demonstrated was known by the Recipient Institution at the time of disclosure; (b) becomes part of the public domain, except by breach of this Agreement by Recipient Institution; (c) is rightfully received by Recipient Institution from a third party without an obligation of confidence to Duke or Licensee; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient Institution’s personnel who have not had access to Information, Material or Modifications as demonstrated by competent written proof. Recipient Institution’s obligations of nondisclosure of Information shall terminate [***] ([***]) [***] from the date that this Agreement is signed by Duke.

4. (a) If Recipient Institution’s research with Material or Modifications results in an invention (“Invention”), Recipient Institution agrees to disclose promptly the Invention to both Duke and Licensee on a confidential basis. Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with U.S. patent law (whether or not patentable) and ownership shall reflect inventorship.

(b) If Recipient Institution decides not to pursue the further development of an Invention hereunder, Duke and/or Licensee, may elect to pursue the patenting or commercial development of said Invention at their/its own discretion. In the event that Licensee so elects to pursue the patenting or commercial development of such an Invention then Recipient Institution will have the right to use the subject Invention for its own internal research, education, and/or teaching purposes and for no other purposes.

(c) Licensee shall have an exclusive, first option to obtain an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing commercial license for Invention, exercisable for a period of [***] ([***]) [***] from Licensee’s receipt of the disclosure thereof. Upon exercise of such option by Licensee, each owner of such Invention agrees to make good-faith efforts to negotiate an exclusive license agreement for the Invention with Licensee on reasonable commercial terms.

(d) In addition to the rights that Duke may have as a result of co-ownership of Inventions made jointly with the Recipient Institution, Duke shall also have the right to use for its own internal research, education, and/or teaching purposes, and for no other purposes, any and all other Inventions developed through use of the Material or Modifications under this Agreement without payment of license or royalty fees.

5. This Agreement shall not be interpreted to prevent publication or other disclosure of results of research using the Material or Modifications. Recipient Institution’s Scientist agrees to provide appropriate acknowledgment of the source of the Material in all publications and presentations based on use of the Material and/or Modifications. Recipient Institution’s Scientist further agrees to furnish both Duke and Licensee with a copy of the manuscript or abstract disclosing such results prior to submission thereof to publisher and not less than [***] ([***]) [***] prior to publication/disclosure, for review by Duke and Licensee. Duke and Licensee shall promptly provide Recipient Institution with any comments relating to said publication or presentation and Recipient Institution may proceed with said publication or presentation with due consideration to Duke and/or Licensee’s comments. If no response is received from Duke and/or Licensee within [***] ([***]) [***] of the date the proposed publication/disclosure was received by Duke and Licensee, respectively, it will be conclusively presumed that the publication/disclosure may proceed without delay. If Duke and/or Licensee determines that the proposed publication/presentation contains patentable subject matters which require protection, Duke and/or Licensee may require the delay of the publication/presentation for an additional period of time not to exceed [***] ([***]) [***] for the purpose of allowing the pursuit of such protection. Patent applications shall be prepared, filed, prosecuted and maintained by the owner(s) of the subject patentable intellectual property unless an alternative arrangement is mutually agreed upon by all of the owners of such patentable intellectual property and Licensee.

6. Any Material delivered pursuant to this Agreement is understood to be experimental in nature, and NEITHER DUKE NOR LICENSEE MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR EXTEND ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT THE USE OF THE MATERIAL AND/OR MODIFICATIONS WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADE SECRET, TRADEMARK, OR OTHER RIGHTS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IT SHALL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RECIPIENT INSTITUTION TO SECURE RIGHTS UNDER ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED FOR RECIPIENT INSTITUTION TO UTILIZE THE MATERIALS AND/OR MODIFICATIONS.

7. To the extent allowed by appertaining state or federal law and/or regulations, Recipient Institution agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Duke and Licensee from any loss, claim, damage, or liability, of any kind whatsoever, which may arise from Recipient Institution’s use, storage or disposal of the Material and/or Modifications, and Recipient Institution assumes liability for damages which may arise from its use, storage or disposal of the Material and/or Modifications.

8. In no event shall the Material or Modifications be used in human beings (including for diagnostic purposes). Any research involving the Material and/or Modifications shall be conducted in accordance with all federal, state, local and other laws, regulations, and ordinances governing such research including applicable NIH guidelines.

9. Notices or other correspondence required by this Agreement shall be sent via national/international courier service to both Duke and Licensee at the following addresses, respectively:
