(vii)       obligate the Sublicensee to submit annual, Quarterly, and interim reports to Licensor consistent with the reporting provisions of Article 5 and all other relevant provisions herein;

(viii)      be written in the English language (for clarity, this is a reference to the original Sublicense as executed; provision of a translation to Licensor shall not satisfy this requirement); and

(ix)        specify that New York law shall control any dispute arising under such sublicense, and that jurisdiction for resolving any such dispute shall New York City, New York State.

(x)         Each Sublicense granted by Licensee under this Agreement shall provide for its termination upon termination of this Agreement. Each Sublicense shall automatically terminate upon any termination of this Agreement unless Licensee previously has assigned its rights under the Sublicense to Licensor and Licensor has expressly agreed in writing, in Licensor’s sole discretion, to accept such assignment.

11


(b)       If Licensee enters into any agreement, arrangement, or license purporting to grant rights to any Licensed Patents, Software or Know-How, that does not comport with the requirements of Section 2.5, or is otherwise inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such agreement, arrangement, or license shall be null and void. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that entering into such an agreement, arrangement, or license constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

(c)       Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing of any proposed grant of a Sublicense and provide to Licensor a copy of any proposed Sublicense at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to execution thereof for review and comment by Licensor, which comments Licensee shall incorporate therein.

(d)       Licensee hereby agrees to remain fully liable under this Agreement to Licensor for the performance or non-performance under this Agreement and the relevant Sublicense by any party to those agreements. Licensee shall enforce all such Sublicenses against its Sublicensees, ensuring its Sublicensees’ performance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Sublicense. No such Sublicense or attempt to obtain a Sublicense shall relieve Licensee of its obligations hereunder to exercise its Commercially Reasonable Efforts, directly or through a Sublicensee, to Develop and Commercialize Licensed Products, nor relieve Licensee of its obligations to pay Licensor any and all license fees, royalties and other payments due under the Agreement.

2.6.       Retained Rights. The grants provided hereunder are subject to and contingent upon Licensee’s compliance with all of its obligations hereunder including, but not limited to, the payment by Licensee to Licensor of all consideration required under this Agreement, and further subject to rights retained by Licensor to: (a) practice the Licensed Patents, and permit other Entities to practice the Licensed Patents, outside of the Field of Use for any purpose; (b) practice the Licensed Patents, and permit other non-commercial Entities to practice the Licensed Patents, within the Field of Use for teaching, non-commercial academic research (including publication of any such research results), and patient care purposes; and (c) create derivative works of the Software, and to use, reproduce, publicly display, and publicly perform the Software and Licensor’s derivative works thereof subject to Section 2.4 (Grant-Back Software License). For clarity, industry sponsored research shall be considered non-commercial academic research for the purposes of this Article 2.

2.7.       Government Rights. All rights and licenses granted by Licensor to Licensee under this Agreement are subject to (a) any limitations imposed by the terms of any grant, contract or cooperative agreement by any Governmental Authority applicable to the technology that is the subject of this Agreement, and (b) applicable requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 200 et seq., as amended, and implementing regulations and policies. Without limitation of the foregoing, Licensee agrees that, to the extent required under 35 U.S.C. § 204, any Licensed Product used, sold, distributed, rented or leased by Licensee, its Affiliates, or Sublicensees in the United States will be Manufactured substantially in the United States. In addition, Licensee agrees that, to the extent required by Law including under 35 U.S.C. § 202(c)(4), the United States government is granted a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced for or on behalf of the United States any Licensed Patent throughout the world.

12


2.8.       No Implied Licenses. Except as expressly provided under this Article 2, no right or license is granted under this Agreement (expressly or by implication or estoppel) by Licensor to Licensee, its Affiliates, or Sublicensees under any tangible or intellectual property, materials, Patent, Patent application, trademark, software, know-how copyright, technical information, data, or other proprietary right.

3.DUE DILIGENCE

3.1.       Development Plan. The Initial Company Business/Development Plan as attached hereto has been agreed upon by the Parties. With respect to each Calendar Year following the Effective Date, Licensee shall deliver to Licensor an annual updated Development Plan in accordance with Section 5.4, which shall set forth in reasonable detail the planned Development activities for such Calendar Year and the subsequent Calendar Year, as well as the anticipated timeline and budget for such activities. Such updated Development Plan shall replace the prior Development Plan and become incorporated into and a part of this Agreement only upon both Parties signing such updated Development Plan.

3.2.       Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Throughout the Term and at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, Licensee shall use no less than Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize the Licensed Products in the Field and Territory as soon as reasonably practicable. Licensee shall maintain such active diligent Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize the Licensed Products at all times throughout the Term.

3.3.       Due Diligence Events. In addition, Licensee shall perform at least the following obligations as part of its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize the Licensed Products required under this Article 3:

(a)       Perform the activities set forth in the applicable Development Plan/Business Plan as first set out in Exhibit C.

(b)       Within four (4) years from the Effective Date, Licensee will have a First Commercial Sale.

3.4        Failure to Achieve Due Diligence Events. If Licensee fails to exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the above due diligence obligation or, if despite consistent use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, Licensee is unable to achieve the due diligence events set forth in Section 3.3 above, then Licensor at its option, in its sole discretion, may: (a) terminate this License in whole or in part immediately upon provision of written notice to Licensee; (b) convert the License in whole or in part to non-exclusive license status immediately upon providing notice to such effect to Licensee (in such event no amendment or further writing will be required to convert the License to non-exclusive status); or (c) meet with License to arrange for revision of the due diligence events. It is agreed and understood that in the event Licensee fails to achieve the due diligence events set forth in Section 3.3 above and has not consistently used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to do so, then Licensor may exercise any and all remedies available at law or otherwise. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.4, Licensor shall provide Licensee with written notice of breach of Section 3.3. Licensee thereafter has ninety (90) days to cure such breach which may include providing a mutually agreed upon development plan for initiating diligent Development. If Licensor does not receive within the ninety (90) day period satisfactory tangible evidence that Licensee has cured the failure, or has a bona fide plan to cure such failure in a commercially reasonable timeframe, then Licensor may, at its option, pursue the remedies provided in this Section 3.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee retains the right to petition Licensor to waive its right under this Section 3.4 upon written request to Licensor and provision of sufficient documentation to support that Licensee reasonably believes that Licensor’s exercise of such right would have a bona fide negative impact on Licensee’s Exploitation of Licensed Products currently in Development and/or on the market and such waiver may be granted or denied at the sole discretion of Licensor. For clarity, any grant of such waiver by Licensor shall not be deemed a waiver of any future rights under this Section 3.4 that Licensor may have.

Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing promptly in the event that a Substantial Interruption Event occurs or is anticipated to occur, and such notice shall include a reasonably detailed description and projected timeline and plan for curing any such Substantial Interruption Event. For the period that such Substantial Interruption Event is in effect (including, for clarity, any applicable period prior to a determination that a Substantial Interruption Event is in effect, during which the conditions of a Substantial Interruption Event were met), Licensee shall pay to Licensor the Interruption Royalty. Running royalties under Section 4.3 are fully creditable against such Interruption Royalty. In no event shall such Interruption Royalty be less than the running royalty owed to Licensor over any commensurate time period during the previous Calendar Year.

4.5.       Stacking Protection. If Licensee becomes obligated to pay royalties to Third Parties for any patents necessary to Develop or Manufacture a particular Licensed Product, then during the period of time Licensee is so obligated, Licensee may deduct fifty percent (50%) of the documented amount of such Third Party royalties paid by Licensee solely attributable to Sales of those particular Licensed Products during a Quarter (and not attributable to any other products or processes) from the royalty amounts otherwise due to Licensor on Net Sales of those particular Licensed Products during such Quarter, provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no deduction shall reduce the amount otherwise due to Licensor in royalties on Net Sales in any Quarter by more than fifty percent (50%) and no excess deductions may be carried forward into subsequent Quarters.

4.6.       Sublicense Fees. In accordance with this Section, Licensee shall pay to Licensor a percentage of all Sublicense Income within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such Sublicense Income. All consideration received by Licensee from any Sublicensee shall be fully auditable by Licensor pursuant to the audit right in Section 5.10. Licensee shall not receive from any Sublicensee anything of value in lieu of cash payments in consideration for any Sublicense without the express prior written consent of Licensor. Any non-cash consideration, including, without limitation, equity in other companies or equity investments in Licensee, received by Licensee from any Sublicensee will be valued at its Fair Market Value as of the date of receipt by Licensee for purposes of calculating Sublicense Income. Licensee shall not sell or transfer, voluntarily or involuntarily, to a Third Party any of Licensee’s interest in any portion of any future sublicensing revenues under any Sublicense without the prior written consent of Licensor.

5.3.       Each Quarterly Report shall be in substantially similar form as Exhibit D attached hereto (which is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement), or to such other form as Licensor may provide from time to time. Each Quarterly Report shall be certified as true and correct by an officer of Licensee. With each Quarterly Report submitted, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the royalties and fees due and payable under this Agreement, to the extent not already paid pursuant to Article 4. If no royalties or fees are due and payable, Licensee shall so report. Licensee’s failure to timely submit to Licensor payment or a Quarterly Report substantially in the required form will constitute a material breach of this Agreement permitting Licensor to terminate this Agreement in full pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof. Licensee will continue to deliver payment and Quarterly Reports to Licensor after the termination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to any Quarter during which this Agreement remained in effect and until such time as all Licensed Product(s) permitted to be sold after termination have been sold or destroyed.

For clarity, in each Milestone Report, Licensee shall identify the milestone(s) being reported on by reference to its description in this Agreement, shall certify as to the occurrence of each milestone event and whether Licensee, its Affiliate, or Sublicensee achieved the event.

5.10.       Records and Audit Rights. Licensee shall keep, and cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete, true and accurate records and books containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of showing the amounts payable to Licensor hereunder. Copies of all such records and books shall be kept at Licensee’s principal place of business or the principal place of business of the appropriate division of Licensee to which this Agreement relates. The records for each Quarter will be maintained for at least five (5) years after the Calendar Year in which the applicable report was submitted to Licensor. Such books and the supporting data shall be open to inspection by Licensor, its contractors or agents at all reasonable times for a term of five (5) years following the end of the Calendar Year to which they pertain, for the purpose of verifying Licensee’s royalty statement or compliance in other respects with this Agreement. Such access will be available to Licensor, its contractors or agents upon not less than seven (7) calendar days written notice to Licensee, its Affiliate, or Sublicensee, as applicable, not more than twice each Calendar Year during the Term and once per Calendar Year after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

In addition, the Licensee shall from time to time, if necessary, issue to the Licensor additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), so that the Licensor’s ownership of Licensee’s Fully Diluted Equity (as defined below) shall not fall below twelve percent (12%), as calculated after giving effect to such issuance of Additional Shares; provided, that such issuances of Additional Shares shall continue after the Initial Issuance only through the receipt by Licensee of an aggregate of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) in cash in exchange for its Equity Securities (the “Threshold”). Beyond the Threshold, no Additional Shares shall be due to Licensor pursuant to this Section and the percentage of Licensee’s Fully Diluted Equity represented by the Common Stock issued to Licensee may be diluted below twelve percent (12%).

6.2.       Licensee hereby represents and warrants to Licensor that the capitalization table attached hereto as Exhibit F completely and accurately reflects the Pro Forma Fully-Diluted Equity of Licensee as of the date hereof.

6.3.       At all times, common stock shall be subject to a customary stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), which Licensor shall enter into upon the Initial Issuance. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Licensor shall agree to enter into reasonable or customary agreements reasonably required by any future institutional equity investors with respect to the voting of its common stock, and regarding subjecting the common stock held by Licensor to rights of first refusal and co-sale, on substantially the same terms as all other institutional investors and subject to customary exceptions for such institutional investors.

6.4.       The Purchase agreement shall provide for a right of participation such that if Licensee proposes to offer and sell any Equity Securities (excluding customary exceptions, such as (but not limited to) the grant of Equity Securities to service providers to Licensee for compensatory purposes, issuances of Equity Securities in connection with strategic transactions, vendor financings or debt financings), then Licensor and or its designees or assignees will have the right to purchase Licensor’s Pro Rata Share of the Equity Securities so offered on the same terms and conditions as such Equity Securities are offered to the other purchasers thereof. Such right of participation shall provide, among other things, for at least 10 days’ prior notice of such offering, including reasonable detail regarding the terms of the Equity Securities and the purchasers thereof.

6.5.       The following definitions shall be applicable to this Article 6:

(a)       “Equity Financing” means a bona fide financing transaction or series of related transactions in which Licensee sells capital stock for the sole purpose of raising capital.

(b)       “Equity Securities” means the capital stock of Licensee (including common and preferred shares) and any other securities of Licensee that are convertible into capital stock of Licensee (including, without limitation, options, warrants and convertible debt securities).

(c)       “Fully Diluted Equity” means the total outstanding Equity Securities as of a given date subsequent to the Effective Date after giving effect to the conversion into capital stock of all outstanding convertible securities of Licensee (assuming the issuance of Equity Securities authorized and reserved for issuance under the employee incentive compensation and other stock option plans of Licensee).

(d)       “Pro Forma Fully-Diluted Equity” means the total outstanding Equity Securities as of the Effective Date after (i) giving effect to the conversion into capital stock of all outstanding convertible securities of Licensee as of the Effective Date and (ii) assuming the issuance of all Equity Securities authorized and reserved for issuance under the employee incentive compensation and other stock option plans of Licensee.

(e)       “Pro Rata Share” means the ratio of (i) the number of Equity Securities owned by Licensor immediately prior to such proposed new issuance of Equity Securities (assuming full conversion of all Equity Securities held by Licensor) to (ii) the Fully Diluted Equity immediately prior to such proposed new issuance of Equity Securities).

7.CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICITY; USE OF NAME

7.1.       “Confidential Information” means any and all information of a Party (the “Disclosing Party”), or such information of such Party’s Affiliates or of Third Parties provided on behalf of such Party to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), that is disclosed in tangible form marked as “confidential” upon disclosure or, if disclosed in oral or other intangible form, is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure and summarized in a writing that is marked as “confidential” and provided to the Receiving Party within thirty (30) days of the intangible disclosure, provided however that failure to so mark, identify, or summarize shall not alter the status of such information as Confidential Information if a reasonable person would, based on the content and/or context of the disclosure, recognize such disclosure was intended as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by written and/or electronic records: (i) is available to the public at the time of disclosure hereunder or, after disclosure, becomes a part of the public domain by publication or otherwise, through no breach by the Receiving Party; (ii) is already properly possessed by the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; (iii) was received by the Receiving Party without obligation of confidentiality or limitation on use from a Third Party who had the lawful right to disclose such information; or (iv) was independently developed by or for the Receiving Party by any person or persons who had no knowledge or benefit of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, where the written or electronic records demonstrating such exception were created contemporaneously with such independent development.

21


7.2.       Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall maintain in confidence and not disclose to any Third Party any of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature but in no event using less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party will use Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely as required to undertake its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “Purpose”) and only during the Term. For clarity, the Purpose expressly excludes any use of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for regulatory or patent filing purposes, or for initiation or pursuit of any proceeding to challenge the patentability, validity, or enforceability of any patent application or issued patent (or any portion thereof) that is owned or Controlled by Disclosing Party (including, e.g., via pre-issuance submissions, post grant review, or inter partes review). Any such excluded use is hereby deemed a material breach of this Agreement and in such event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the non-breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the breaching Party and seek resolution of such dispute in any court of competent jurisdiction notwithstanding any provisions herein regarding resolution of disputes between the Parties; in addition to any other relief granted to the non-breaching Party, the breaching Party shall pay to the non-breaching Party all costs such non-breaching Party incurs in such proceeding including in defense of such patent application or patent. Any such payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of written demand. The Receiving Party will ensure that its employees, independent contractors, Affiliates, and Sublicensees (“Recipient Individuals”) have access to Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only on a need to know basis, are informed of all the obligations attaching to such Confidential Information in advance of being given access to it, and are required to comply with such Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement Receiving Party shall be fully responsible to Disclosing Party for such compliance by its Recipient Individuals. If such Recipient Individual is not an employee of a Party hereto, then Recipient will enter into a legally binding confidentiality agreement with provisions at least as strict as the confidentiality obligations and use restrictions herein, with such Recipient Individual prior to disclosing Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to such Recipient Individual, and Receiving Party will be fully responsible to Disclosing Party for compliance with such obligations and restrictions by such Recipient Individual.

7.3.       Notwithstanding the above Section 7.2, the Receiving Party may disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the limited extent required by Law, court order, other governmental authority with jurisdiction, provided that the Receiving Party (a) promptly provides the Disclosing Party, to the extent legally permissible, with written notice of such requirement, (b) uses no less than reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of such Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information by such court or governmental authority, and (c) cooperates, at the Disclosing Party’s written request and expense, with the Disclosing Party’s legal efforts to prevent or limit the scope of such required disclosure; the Receiving Party shall in all other respects continue to hold such Confidential Information as confidential and subject to all obligations of this Article 7. The Receiving Party’s obligations of confidentiality and non-use restrictions as set forth in this Article 7 shall remain in effect for a period of five (5) years from receipt of the Confidential Information from the Disclosing Party.

7.4.       Each Party agrees to treat the terms and conditions of this Agreement as the Confidential Information of the other Party, provided however that in addition to the above exceptions, each Party shall be free to disclose any of the terms of this Agreement (i) to the extent that a Party is advised by its counsel that it is required to do so by the regulations or rules of any relevant stock exchange, (ii) to actual or prospective Licensees, (iii) to its accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors, or (iv) in connection with a financing, merger, consolidation, acquisition or a permitted assignment of this Agreement; provided that  (l) in the case of any disclosure under clause (ii), (iii), or (iv) above, the recipient(s) are obligated and do so undertake to keep such terms of this Agreement confidential to the same extent as said Party (said Party being fully responsible to the other Party for such recipients’ compliance), and (2) in the case of disclosure under clause (i), such disclosure shall be in accordance with Section 7.3.

7.5.       Publicity. The Parties may issue a press release only upon mutual written agreement and, if so, will cooperate to determine the timing and content of such press release.

7.6.       Use of Licensor’s Name. Licensee and its Affiliates, Sublicensees, employees and agents may not use the name, logo, seal, trademark, or service mark of Licensor or any school, organization of Licensor, or, any faculty member, student, employee, officer, director, trustee, or other representative of Licensor or of any school or organization of Licensor (or any adaptation of any of the foregoing) without the prior written consent of Licensor, which consent will be granted or denied in Licensor’s sole discretion by the Vice President of the Office of Marketing and Communications of the Licensor Health System.

8.PATENT PROSECUTION AND REIMBURSEMENT

8.1.       Patent Prosecution. Licensor shall control the Prosecution of Licensed Patents and the selection of patent counsel. Licensor will require that copies of all documents prepared by patent counsel be provided to Licensee for review and comment prior to filing. Licensor will consider any comments from Licensee in good faith; provided, however, that Licensor shall have final authority regarding all Prosecution decisions. All Licensed Patents will be in Licensor’s name, and Licensee acknowledges that Licensor shall remain the client of such patent counsel and in every case shall retain the right to remand. Licensee shall pay, within thirty (30) days of invoice, all future expenses for Prosecuting the Licensed Patents, including without limitation, any taxes, annuities or maintenance fees on such Licensed Patents. Licensee agrees to receive such invoices directly from patent counsel, with Licensor receiving a copy of such invoice, pursuant to a Client and Billing Agreement with patent counsel substantially in the form of Exhibit E, which will be incorporated into and made a part of the Agreement. Licensee shall pay such invoices directly to patent counsel with written confirmation of payment to Licensor.

8.2.       Patent Reimbursement. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Licensee will reimburse Licensor for all historically accrued, un-reimbursed attorneys’ fees, expenses, official fees and all other charges accumulated prior to the Effective Date incident to the Prosecution of the Licensed Patents, which amount is currently estimated at Nineteen Thousand and One U.S. Dollars ($19,001.00) as of August 18th, 2017.

23


8.3.       Patent Extension. Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor of any Regulatory Approval for any Licensed Product for which an application for Patent term extension may be based, including with respect to any Third Party product, or any other event in any Jurisdiction that would enable Licensor or Licensee as appropriate to apply for Patent term extension or other regulatory or marketing exclusivity or extension thereof in any Jurisdiction. For clarity, Licensee will notify Licensor of an opportunity to apply for Patent term extensions or regulatory or marketing exclusivity or extension thereof as soon as the event triggering the opportunity for application has occurred and in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the occurrence of the triggering event. Licensee agrees to cooperate fully with Licensor to provide any information or documentation necessary to support an application for Patent term extension or other regulatory or marketing exclusivity.

8.4.       Abandonment. If Licensee decides that it does not wish to pay for the Prosecution of any Licensed Patent in a particular Jurisdiction (“Abandoned Patent”), Licensee shall provide Licensor with prompt written notice of such election. Upon receipt of such notice by Licensor, Licensee shall be released from its obligation to reimburse Licensor for the expenses incurred thereafter as to such Abandoned Patent; provided, however, that expenses incurred or authorized prior to the receipt by Licensor of such notice shall be deemed incurred prior to the notice. If any Licensed Patent becomes an Abandoned Patent hereunder, any license granted by Licensor to Licensee hereunder with respect to such Abandoned Patent will terminate, and Licensee will have no rights whatsoever to Exploit such Abandoned Patent. Licensor will then be free, without further notice or obligation to Licensee, to grant rights in and to such Abandoned Patent to any Third Parties. Should Licensee decline or fail to pay by the deadline set forth herein the costs and legal fees for the Prosecution of any Licensed Patents payable under this Agreement, Licensor may, at its sole discretion, elect to (a) exclude by written notice the particular Licensed Patent from this Agreement, without terminating the Agreement in its entirety, and such Licensed Patent shall be deemed an Abandoned Patent under this Agreement upon such notice, or (b) Licensor may terminate this Agreement in full pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof.

9.INFRINGEMENT

9.1.       Notice. In the event that either Party becomes aware of any suspected infringement of any Licensed Patent or of any Infringement Action, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party thereof. Licensee and Licensor will consult each other in a timely manner concerning any appropriate response to such suspected infringement or Infringement Action.

9.2.       Procedure.

(a)       (i) As between the Parties, if Licensor consents in writing, then Licensee will have the first right to prosecute any Infringement Action against an infringing Third Party at its own expense. (ii) If, within sixty (60) days after becoming aware of any suspected infringement or Infringement Action, Licensor has not so consented to Licensee prosecuting such Infringement Action, or if Licensee has elected not to initiate, defend, or otherwise resolve such Infringement Action, then Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate, control, prosecute, and/or defend such Infringement Action at its own expense.

24


(b)       The Party controlling any Infringement Action shall use reasonable efforts to: (i) inform the other Party of the status of such Infringement Action on a regular basis; (ii) provide to the other Party copies of any documents relating to the Infringement Action promptly upon receipt from any Third Party and/or, if practicable, prior to filing such documents; (iii) consult with the other Party regarding the advisability of any contemplated course of action; and (iv) consider any comments from the other Party in good faith, including with respect to the infringement, claim construction, or defense of the validity or enforceability of any claim in the involved Licensed Patent. The Party without primary control of an Infringement Action shall cooperate at its own expense with the Party controlling such Infringement Action to the extent reasonably possible, including joining the Infringement Action if necessary or desirable.

(c)       No Party may enter into a settlement of any Infringement Action that restricts the scope or adversely affects the enforceability of, or grants a license to, any Licensed Patent, or includes admission of fault or wrongdoing on behalf of the other Party, without the prior written consent of such other Party. For clarity, if the settlement of any Infringement Action includes granting a Sublicense, Licensee shall pay to Licensor royalties on any Net Sales by such Sublicensee and a percentage of Sublicense Income, if applicable, in accordance with Article 4 in addition to any other share of recoveries due to Licensor under this Section.

9.3.       Recoveries.

(a)       Any recovery obtained by Licensee under 9.2(a)(i) as a result of any Infringement Action, by settlement or otherwise, shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to reimburse the Parties for all litigation costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such proceeding and not otherwise recovered; and (ii) second, the remainder of the recovery shall be shared equally between the Parties.

(b)       Any recovery obtained by Licensor under 9.2(a)(ii) as a result of any Infringement Action, by settlement or otherwise, shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to reimburse the Parties for all litigation costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such proceeding and not otherwise recovered; and (ii) second, the remainder of the recovery shall be retained by Licensor.

10.REPRESENTATIONS; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES

10.1.       Certain Representations. Each Party represents to the other Party that, as of the Effective Date:

(a)       it has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and

(a)       it, and its Affiliates, agents, and employees who are or shall be involved in the performance of this Agreement, have not been, and during the Term of this Agreement shall not be, debarred, excluded or disqualified (or convicted of any crime or engaged in any conduct for which debarment, exclusion or disqualification is mandated) under any Health Care Law, including pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 335a;

(b)       to its reasonable knowledge, no Third Party that, on behalf of Licensee, has been or during the Term of this Agreement will be, involved in the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Products (each a “Licensee Partner”), has been or will be debarred, excluded or disqualified (or convicted of any crime or engaged in any conduct for which debarment, exclusion or disqualification is mandated) under any Health Care Law, including pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 335a;

(c)       Licensee, and its Affiliates, agents, and employees involved in the performance of this Agreement, and Licensee Partners, shall perform this Agreement in full compliance with all applicable Health Care Laws; and

(d)       Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing immediately in the event of a violation of any of the foregoing, and shall, with respect to any Entity involved in such violation, promptly remove such Entity from performing any role under this Agreement.

10.3.       DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. THE LICENSED PATENTS, SOFTWARE, KNOW-HOW, LICENSED PRODUCTS, AND ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY OR INFORMATION PROVIDED OR LICENSED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS. LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, COMMERCIAL UTILITY, SCOPE, OR TITLE WITH RESPECT THERETO.

10.4.        DISCLSIMER OF LIABILITIES. LICENSOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE, ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR ATTRIBUTABLE TO USE BY LICENSEE, ITS AFFILIATES, OR SUBLICENSEES OF THE LICENSED PATENTS, SOFTWARE, KNOW-HOW, LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSEE MODIFIED PRODUCTS OR ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY OR INFORMATION PROVIDED OR LICENSED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR ARISING FROM THE DEVELOPMENT, TESTING, MANUFACTURE, USE OR SALE OF LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSEE MODIFIED PRODUCTS OR FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, INCIDENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND.

10.5.       LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, LICENSOR’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF ALL PAYMENTS MADE BY LICENSEE TO LICENSOR PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 4 DURING THE FULL CALENDAR YEAR DURING WHICH LICENSEE PAID TO LICENSOR THE HIGHEST AGGREGATE AMOUNT PURSUANT TO THAT ARTICLE 4.

26


10.6.       WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANYTHING IN THIS ARTICLE 10, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS:

(a)       A WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION BY LICENSOR THAT ANYTHING MADE, USED, SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, DISTRIBUTED, OR AS APPLICABLE PUBLICLY PERFORMED, PUBLICLY DISPLAYED, DERIVED FROM, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF PURSUANT TO ANY LICENSE GRANTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS OR WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES;

(b)       AN OBLIGATION BY LICENSOR TO BRING OR PROSECUTE ACTIONS OR SUITS AGAINST THIRD PARTIES FOR INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR OTHER SIMILAR CAUSES OF ACTION RELATED TO THE LICENSED PATENTS, SOFTWARE, OR KNOW-HOW; OR

(c)       CONFERRING BY IMPLICATION, ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE ANY LICENSE OR RIGHTS UNDER ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF LICENSOR OTHER THAN AS AND TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN

11.INDEMNIFICATION

11.1.       Indemnification. Licensee will indemnify, hold harmless, and at Licensor’s option, shall defend Licensor, and its trustees, officers, faculty, agents, employees and students (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties, including attorneys’ fees and related costs (collectively, “Liabilities”), arising out of or resulting from:

(a)       the exercise of any license granted under this Agreement, whether by Licensee, its Affiliates, Sublicensees, assignees, vendors or associated Third Parties;

(b)       any breach of this Agreement or any Sublicense by Licensee, its Affiliates, or Sublicensees;

(c)       the enforcement of this Article 11 by any Indemnified Party; and/or

(d)       any act, error, or omission of Licensee, its Affiliates, or Sublicensees, or any of the officers, directors, employees or agents of any of the foregoing, with respect to its obligations hereunder or with respect to applicable law or regulation;

except in each case to the extent such Liabilities result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. Liabilities under this Section include, but are not limited to, Liabilities arising in connection with: (i) the use by a Third Party of a Licensed Product that was Developed, Manufactured or Commercialized by Licensee, Sublicensees, assignees, vendors or Third Parties; (ii) a claim by a Third Party that the Licensed Patents, Know-How, Software, or the design, composition, or Exploitation of any Licensed Product infringes or violates or appropriates any Patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property right of such Third Party; (iii) clinical trials or studies conducted by or on behalf of Licensee, its Affiliates, Sublicensees, assignees, vendors or associated Third Parties relating to the Licensed Patents, Software, Know-How, or Licensed Products, such as claims by or on behalf of a human subject of any such trial or study; or (iv) a failure to perform under this Agreement or any Sublicense in material compliance with all applicable Laws, including, without limitation, all Health Care Laws.

27


11.2.       Indemnification Procedure. An Indemnified Party will promptly provide Licensee with written notice of any Liability that is indemnifiable under this Article 11; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve Licensee of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent of any material prejudice to Licensee as a direct result of such failure. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.2, Licensor shall control such defense and all negotiations relative to the settlement of any indemnifiable claim or action, except that Licensor shall not settle or compromise any claim or action in any manner that may impose restrictions or obligations on any Indemnified Party, or that concedes any fault or wrongdoing on the part of Licensee, without Licensee’s prior written consent. If Licensor so directs in writing, Licensee shall control such defense and all negotiations relative to the settlement of any indemnifiable claim or action, except that Licensee shall not settle or compromise any claim or action in any manner that may impose restrictions or obligations on any Indemnified Party, or that grants any rights to the Licensed Patents, Software, Know-How or Licensed Products, or that concedes any fault or wrongdoing on the part of Licensor, without Licensor’s prior written consent. If, after receipt of written direction from Licensor, Licensee fails or declines to assume the defense against any claim or action within thirty (30) days after notice thereof, then Licensor may assume and control the defense of such claim or action for the account and at the risk of Licensee, and any Liabilities related to such claim or action will be conclusively deemed a liability of Licensee. The indemnification rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article 11 are in addition to all other rights that an Indemnified Party may have at law, in equity or otherwise.

12.INSURANCE

12.1.       Coverages. Licensee will procure and maintain insurance policies for the following coverages with respect to personal injury, bodily injury, property damage and contractual liability arising out of Licensee’s performance under this Agreement as follows: (a) during the Term, comprehensive general liability, including broad form and contractual liability, in a minimum amount of Two Million U.S. Dollars ($2,000,000 USD) combined single limit per occurrence and in the aggregate, written on an occurrence-basis, with no deductible, containing a separation of insureds provision, with additional coverage for broad form and contractual liability, completed operations; (b) prior to the commencement of clinical trials involving Licensed Products, clinical trials coverage in a minimum amount of Five Million U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000 USD) combined single limit per occurrence and in the aggregate; and (c) prior to the sale of the first Licensed Product, product liability coverage, in a minimum amount of Ten Million U.S. Dollars ($10,000,000 USD) combined single limit per occurrence and in the aggregate. Licensor may review periodically the adequacy of the minimum amounts of insurance for each type of coverage required by this Article 12, and Licensor reserves the right to require Licensee to adjust the limits accordingly. Upon request, Licensee shall provide certificates of insurance and applicable endorsements evidencing the required insurance coverages noted herein. The failure of Licensor to request said evidence of coverage shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of Licensee’s insurance obligations. Licensor, including its affiliates, shall be named as additional insureds under all applicable policies of insurance. Licensee’s comprehensive general liability insurance shall be primary and non-contributory to any insurance maintained by Licensor. The required minimum amounts of insurance do not constitute a limitation on Licensee’s liability or indemnification obligations to Licensor under this Agreement.

28


12.2.       Other Requirements. Any policies of insurance required by Section 12.1 will be issued by an insurance carrier with an A.M. Best rating of “A” or better and will name Licensor as an additional insured, on a primary and non-contributory basis, with respect to Licensee’s performance under this Agreement. Licensee will provide Licensor with insurance certificates evidencing the required coverage within thirty (30) days after the commencement of each policy period and any renewal periods. Each certificate will provide that the insurance carrier will notify Licensor in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation or material change in coverage.

13.TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1.       Expiration of Royalty Term. Upon expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to a Licensed Product in any Jurisdiction and payment in full of all amounts owed hereunder with respect to such Licensed Product in such Jurisdiction, Licensee will have a non-exclusive, fully paid up license for such Licensed Product in such Jurisdiction.

13.2.       Termination by Licensor.

(a)       For Cause. Licensor may give written notice of default to Licensee, if Licensee: (i) materially breaches any obligation, covenant, condition, or undertaking of this Agreement to be performed by it hereunder (including e.g. if Licensee should cease or fail to undertake Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect to Licensed Products, fail to make any payment at the time such payment is due, or fail to maintain the insurance coverage required hereunder); (ii) fails to make the first First Commercial Sale of Licensed Product(s) within four (4) years after the Effective Date; or (iii) experiences an Event of Bankruptcy. If Licensee should fail to cure such default within sixty (60) days of such notice, this Agreement, and all of the rights, privileges, and license granted hereunder, shall automatically terminate. For purposes of this provision, the term “Event of Bankruptcy” means, with respect to a Party: (a) filing by such Party in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Party or of its assets; (b) such Party being served with an involuntary petition against such Party, filed in any insolvency proceeding, where such petition has not been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof; (c) such Party proposing or being a party to any dissolution or liquidation of such Party; or (d) such Party making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

29


(b)       Challenge of Patents. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein shall be construed as preventing it from challenging the validity or enforceability of the Licensed Patents at any time. In the event that Licensee, its Affiliate or Sublicensee shall, however, challenge the validity or enforceability of any of the Licensed Patents in any forum through any means, or otherwise indicate the payment of any royalty due under this Agreement is made under protest or with any objection, Licensee agrees that Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, in addition to any other remedy it may have available to it at law and/or in equity, to terminate this Agreement immediately upon providing written notice of the same to Licensee. For clarity, Licensor in response to such challenge by Licensee or following termination by Licensor under this subsection may seek redress in any court of competent jurisdiction in its sole discretion notwithstanding Section 15.11 or any other provision of this Agreement.

14.EFFECT OF TERMINATION

14.1.       Continuing Obligations. Termination shall not relieve Licensee of any monetary or any other obligation or liability accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination, or rescind or give rise to any right to rescind any payments made or other consideration given to Licensor hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination; nor shall such termination affect in any manner any rights of Licensor arising under this Agreement prior to the date of such termination. Licensee shall pay all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Licensor in enforcing any obligation of Licensee or accrued right of Licensor.

14.2.       Survival of Terms. In addition to any provision which by its terms contemplates performance after the Term, the following provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement: Articles 1 (Definitions), 4 (Fees, Royalties, Milestones, and Payments), 5.4 (Records and Audit Rights), 7 (Confidentiality; Publicity; Use of Name), 10 (Representations; Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liabilities), 11 (Indemnification), 12 (Insurance), 14 (Effect of Termination), and 15 (Additional Provisions).

14.3.       Licensed Product on Hand. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement by either Party, Licensee shall provide Licensor with a written inventory of all Licensed Products in process of manufacture, in use, or in stock. Licensee may dispose of any such Licensed Products within the ninety (90) day period following such expiration or termination; provided, however, that Licensee shall pay royalties and render reports to Licensor thereon in the manner specified herein.

14.4.       Licensed Product Data. A copy of all Licensed Product Data must be transferred to Licensor within forty-five (45) days of termination of this Agreement for any reason, and shall become the sole property of Licensor. Licensee shall retain no right or license with respect to Licensed Product Data. Further, upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall (and, as applicable, shall procure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall): (a) transfer or assign to Licensor or its designee (or have reissued in the name of Licensor or its designee, if applicable) all regulatory filings (including any regulatory applications, Regulatory Approvals and product dossiers) that relate to Licensed Products, and (b) grant, and hereby grants, to Licensor an exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, fully sublicenseable (through multiple tiers), transferable license under all improvements to the Licensed Patents, Software, and Know-How (and related intellectual property rights) in all fields of use and for all purposes. Licensee shall take such other actions and execute such other documents as may be necessary to effect the transfer and assignment of rights hereunder to Licensor or its designee.

30


14.5       Sublicense Survival. In the event of any termination of this Agreement by Licensor under Section 13.2(a), each Sublicense granted by Licensee under this Agreement shall survive as a direct license between Licensor and such Sublicensee on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Agreement, to the extent applicable to the rights granted by Licensee to such Sublicensee, provided that i) such Sublicense was granted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; ii) such Sublicense does not impose on Licensor any obligations in excess of those contained in this Agreement; and iii) that such Sublicensee is in compliance with the terms of such Sublicense. Licensor and the Sublicensee shall promptly enter into an agreement granting such sublicense under the terms, including financial terms, of this Agreement, to the extent applicable to the scope of the sublicense granted to such Sublicensee.

15.ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

15.1.       Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create an agency, partnership or joint venture between the Parties. At no time will either Party make commitments or incur any charges or expenses for or on behalf of the other Party.

15.2.       Provision of Software; Derivative Works; Licensee Modified Products. During the term of this Agreement, Licensee will provide to Licensor one complete copy of any and all commercial versions, including revised versions, of the Software, any Derivative Works, and any Licensee Modified Products, including but not limited to executable code, source code, programmer documentation and End User documentation at the time it is made available to End Users directly or indirectly by Licensee or any Sub-Licensee. Prior to Commercialization, on a semi-annual basis, Licensee will provide to Licensor the most updated prototype versions of the Software, any Derivative Works and any License Modified Products, without any implied reps or warranties; provided that, where no such improvements have been made since the version last provided to Licensor, Licensee will instead provide to Licensor written certification that no improved versions of the Software, Derivative Works or Licensee Modified Products exist.

15.3.       Compliance with Laws. Licensee must comply with all prevailing Laws that apply to its activities or obligations under this Agreement. For example, Licensee will comply with applicable United States export Laws. The transfer of certain technical data and commodities may require a license from the applicable agency of the United States government and/or written assurances by Licensee that Licensee will not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without prior approval of the agency. Licensor does not represent that no license is required, or that, if required, the license will issue.

15.4.       Marking. Licensee shall, and agrees to require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, comply with any marking requirements of the intellectual property Laws of the applicable countries in the Territory to the extent any failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the Licensed Patents or any Licensed Product, or either Party’s ability to avail itself of all potential remedies for any infringement of the Licensed Patents, and particularly agrees to permanently and legibly mark all Licensed Products made, used, reproduced, or sold under the terms of this Agreement, or their respective containers, in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth in the Patent marking and notice provisions under Title 35 of the United States Code. Any Sublicense shall impose on the Sublicensee obligations substantially similar to those imposed in this paragraph.

31


15.5.       Modification, Waiver and Remedies. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment that is executed by an authorized representative of each Party. Any waiver must be express and in writing. No waiver by either Party of a breach by the other Party will constitute a waiver of any different or succeeding breach. Unless otherwise specified, all remedies are cumulative.

15.6.       Assignment. Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any part of it, either directly or by merger or operation of Law, without the prior written consent of Licensor. Any such assignment will be valid only if: (a) at least thirty (30) days before the closing of the proposed transaction, Licensee has given Licensor written notice and such background information as may be reasonably necessary to enable Licensor to give an informed consent; (b) the assignee agrees in writing to be legally bound by this Agreement; and (c) the assignee agrees to deliver to Licensor an updated Development Plan within forty-five (45) days after the closing of the proposed transaction. Any permitted assignment will not relieve Licensee of responsibility for performance of any obligation of Licensee that has accrued at the time of the assignment. Any assignment granted, or purported to be granted, contrary to this provision will be null and void.

15.7.       Notices. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, any notice or other required communication under this Agreement (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing, addressed to the Party’s respective Notice Address, and delivered personally or by globally recognized express delivery service, charges prepaid.

15.8.       Severability and Reformation. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Such invalid or unenforceable provision will be automatically revised to be a valid or enforceable provision that comes as close as permitted by Law to the Parties’ original intent.

15.9.       Headings and Counterparts. The headings of the articles and sections included in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

15.12.       Integration. This Agreement, together with all attached Exhibits, contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the Licensed Patents, Software and Know-How, and supersedes all other oral or written representations, statements, or agreements with respect to such subject matter, including but not limited to, the term sheet exchanged prior to this Agreement.

15.13.       Force Majeure. Neither Party will be responsible for nonperformance caused by forces beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including fire, explosion, natural disaster, war (whether declared or not), act of terrorism, strike, or riot, provided that the nonperforming Party uses reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and continues performance under this Agreement with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed, and notifies the other Party of such cause as promptly as is reasonably practical given the circumstances.

33

Executive Summary

Monogram Orthopaedics, Inc ("Monogram") was spun out of Mount Sinai School of Medicine ("MSSM"), based on ideas formulated by Dr. Douglas Unis, an Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Mount Sinai, and technology developed by Dr Unis, Professor Anthony Costa, the head of the Neurosurgery Simulation Core at Mount Sinai, and Sulaiman Somani, a medical student.

Joint degeneration resulting from osteoarthritis led to 378,000 hip replacement surgeries and 925,000 knee replacement surgeries in the US in 2015. The global market for orthopaedic surgery is estimated to be $15.5Bln and is estimated to be growing at just under 4% per year. By most measures joint replacement surgery is successful. Nevertheless, about 30% of patients who have hip replacement surgery report complications which can be explained in part by the way the surgery is carried out. In hip replacement surgery, after dislocating the hip, the head of the femur is sawed off. A cavity is then manually prepared in the neck of the femur using what are essentially carpenter's tools to receive the metal stem upon which the new metallic ball joint will sit. The acetabular cup may be repaired and a new ceramic or metal lining inserted.

Stems come in a small range of sizes and a smaller range of neck angles. These currently available products would be adequate if internal femoral anatomy was invariant. However, our studies show a wide range of internal femoral anatomies. We believe that the complication rate results from the relatively crude manual preparation methods for the receiving cavity and the limited range of stem sizes and shapes available.

The Monogram solution has three major components

·        A set of proprietary algorithms which automatically segment the patient's femur from a conventional CT scan and automatically and within minutes defines a unique cutting path for the cavity and a matching unique shape for the stem.

·       A programmable robotically assisted bone cutting mill that registers accurately with the patient's femur and mills out a precisely shaped cavity.

·       A 3D printed custom stem designed to maximize implant cortical bone interactions and which matches the size and shape of the robotically milled cavity

A number of the large orthopaedics companies have recently moved into robotically assisted surgery through acquiring smaller robotics companies. However, none of these robots can be considered essential as they can only do what surgeons do manually now.

Similarly, investment in 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing facilities by the large orthopaedics companies has been accelerating in recent years. However, it is not clear that any of them are printing custom implants.

Strictly Confidential


To the best of our knowledge, no company other than Monogram is combining the use of 3D printing and robotic milling to scalably drive mass customization of hip implants manufacturing unique implants that match the anatomy of individual patients.

Monogram will adopt an optimally capital efficient approach. Monogram

·      Will not develop its own robot from scratch but will instead use the Kuka iiwaa medical robot

·      Will not invest in manufacturing plants initially or inventory as each implant will be made in a batch size of one

·      Will work with experienced OEMs to develop and manufacture the cutting and milling tools

·      Will work extensively with experienced CROs and consultants on an as needed basis.

The FDA has published guidance on surgical robots and 3D printing as a manufacturing technology. We are confident that the regulatory path for both the stem and the robot will be via the 510(k) approval process.

Monogram is raising $12-13mm to hire additional staff, develop and gain 510(k) approval for the robot and the stem and to conduct a post-approval clinical trial to examine the frequency of post-surgical complications.

Introduction, Markets and Opportunity

Joint Replacement

In 2015 there were a reported 378,000 hip replacement surgeries in the US and the market is expected to grow to 510,000 by 2020. Globally hip replacement surgery generated $7 billion in revenue for suppliers of stems, cups, liners and associated surgical tools. The major reason for such surgery is osteoarthritic degeneration of the hip joint which is a major load-bearing joint. Two principal reasons for growth in the market are the aging of the population and the increased incidence of obesity. The more obese a person is the more weight the hips have to bear and the more they are subject to deterioration. In a study published by the CDC looking at the demographics of patients who had their hips replaced the fastest growing age group between 2001 and 2010 was those between 45 and 54 years of age. Such individuals want to remain active and are more demanding than much older more sedentary patients. 925,000 knees were replaced in the US in 2015 and worldwide the knee replacement market generated $8.5 billion in revenue.

Current Practice and Market Opportunity

There are two major approaches to surgery for hip replacement. One involves an anterior approach and incision and the other involves a posterior incision and approach. Minimally invasive approaches are also possible. After making the incision and exposing the hip joint from the surrounding muscles the hip is dislocated and the ball at the head of the femur is sawn off. The cavity into which the stem will be placed is prepared using devices referred to as broaches which are similar to carpenters' files or chisels. The surgeon then hammers the stem into the prepared cavity and attaches the new ceramic or metal head. The diseased bone tissue in the acetabulum or cup in the pelvis is removed and a porous coated cup placed into the acetabulum. The ball is relocated into the socket and the incisions closed.

Hip replacement surgery works very well but it is not without its problems. Complications and adverse events with hip replacement surgery are relatively common, with up to 30% of patients having at least a single unwanted outcome. The most common adverse events are: uneven legs, >20%; early loosening, 5%; peri-operative fractures, >5%; and early dislocation, 2-5%. One source for these problems is inter-surgeon variability. As Figure 1 (below) shows, surgeons vary widely in the force they apply when forcing home the implanted stem.


Surgeons' Variable Impact Force

Graphic

Figure 1

The images on the following page (Figure 2) illustrate two other factors that contribute to these complications. First, most surgical planning is still done manually from two-dimensional x-ray images which do not reveal all the nuances of geometry within the hip joint. Second, manual tools are still very widely used and intra-surgeon variability in technique as well as in force as well as the great variability in patient's anatomy all contribute to less than ideal outcomes

The Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model (also known as "Bundling")

The Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model was introduced on April 1, 2016 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") replacing the former, more traditional, fee for service reimbursement model. Its goal is to support better and more efficient care for Medicare beneficiaries undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery, the most common surgeries provided for these beneficiaries. This model was proposed because CMS observed that complication rates varied over a threefold range among hospitals while Medicare expenditures showed a twofold variation between different geographic regions. The model is being implemented in 67 Metropolitan Statistical Areas ("MSAs") and about 800 hospitals are participating.


Under this new model, an episode of care begins when a patient is admitted for joint replacement surgery and ends 90 days after the patient is discharged. It holds hospitals financially accountable for the quality and cost of a joint replacement. Each year participating hospitals are provided with a target price for lower joint replacement surgery and care. At the end of the model year hospitals that deliver quality care for less than the target price are eligible to receive a payment for the difference in actual episode spending and the target price. Hospitals whose costs exceed the target price will be financially responsible for paying Medicare a set fraction of the excess costs.

It is thus in a participating hospital's interests to maximize the quality of outcomes and minimize costs beyond those for the initial surgery and rehabilitation. It might also be expected that hospitals will keep a keen eye on how an individual surgeon's patients respond to and recover from surgery. Monogram believes that its surgical procedure which minimizes inter-surgeon variability and which does away with major factors that lead to complications will be looked upon favourably by surgeons, hospitals and payers.

The Monogram Solution

Rather than surgically modifying the patient's anatomy so that the off the shelf stem will fit Monogram believes it should be the other way round – the stem should be designed to fit the patient's anatomy. Monogram believes that complication and failure rates can be much reduced by acknowledging that patients have varied internal femoral anatomy and by designing and manufacturing patient specific implants. This is now possible because of advances in robotic surgery and additive manufacturing. Robotic surgery allows precise milling of the femoral cavity in a way that is much more precise than currently used manual methods. Additive manufacturing allows the economic manufacturing of products in a batch size of one. Thus, we can develop the concept of mass customization. Monogram's major contribution to this process is a cloud based software process (see figure 3, the final workflow slide) which from a standard CT scan

·

automatically produces a segmented 3D image of the femur within minutes

·

automatically designs the optimum implant for that femur

·

develops a file for the robot that encodes the milled cavity and cut path

·

develops a file for the 3D printer that encodes the precisely shaped replacement stem that fits precisely in the robotically milled cavity.


The Monogram workflow: from CT scan to custom stem and matched cavity

Figure 3

Several features are taken into account in designing the implant and, by extension the cavity. The major goal is to design an implant that maximizes outer cortical bone-implant contact and which in any case provides a minimum of at least 75% surface area contact. Minor modifications may be made to this optimal design to ensure that the cavity can be cut by the robot and that the implant can be inserted. Figure 4 (left) shows two views of an initial stem (in red) design that cannot be inserted. Note the small lateral volume at the left defined by the yellow line which impedes insertion. Figure 4 (right) show the modified stem with the problematic volume removed and then inserted in the original cavity.

Figure 5a (left) shows a cavity which has barriers preventing the complete cutpath from being traced. The milling head hits the area highlighted in yellow which have been removed in the cutpath in figure 5b (right) where the desired cutpath is unimpeded.

Graphic

Figure 5


{Here we will insert the data from the technical POC experiments demonstrating i) less micromotion with our stem than with conventional manual methods; ii) more implant- cortical bone surface area contact than with conventional implants; and iii) far higher forces applied to the implant are needed to fracture the femur bearing a custom stem than are required to fracture a femur with a conventional implant. The two major causes of revision hip surgery are looseness and fractures. We believe that Monogram's solution will overcome both of these problems.}

3D printing allows not only custom patient specific implants to be manufactured it also allows the design of surface features on the implant that are not possible with conventional manufacturing methods. Figure 6a (left)show the surface of a monogram implant and Figure 6b (right)shows the surface at higher resolution. A number of studies have demonstrated that cortical bone ingrowth is much enhanced with microtrabecular structures like this. Thus, In addition to the cortical bone conforming shape we also believe that the enhanced bone ingrowth will further stabilize the implant and lead to better outcomes. {We should try to demonstrate that there is enhanced bone ingrowth.}

Monogram expects that its approach to hip replacement surgery will result in better outcomes and better restoration of each patient's anatomy providing the following benefits:

1)

The length, width and angles will be faithfully reproduced fully restoring the natural biomechanics resulting in what is referred to as a "forgotten hip".

2)

The perfect match of the cavity and the implant dependent on the precise mapping of the inner cortical bone of the femur will result in high cortical bone-stem contact area, more bone ingrowth into the stem and increased stability. Because of this, bone conserving stems substantially shorter than conventional stems will be usable.

3)

The functional anatomy of the patient's femur will also be matched so that the stiffness of the implant matches the stiffness of the patient's own bone resulting in less pain and less bone-wasting.

Monogram's business model

Monogram has adopted an extremely capital efficient business model. Unlike other surgical robotics companies, Monogram will not invent its own robot but instead will partner with an established robotics company with a large installed base of robots both in manufacturing and in the medical setting. Similarly, Monogram will partner with an established medical device manufacturer with experience in designing and manufacturing handpieces for surgical robots. Finally, since each implant is made in a batch size of one for an individual patient, Monogram will have no major investments in plant, equipment or inventory.

Kuka, which has its headquarters just outside Munich, Germany, has an installed base of over 80,000 robots making it the 8th largest robotics company in the world. Currently, most of these robots are used in manufacturing settings but Kuka has begun moving aggressively into the medical space. Medical robots comprise just over 5% of the installed base now. Many of these robots are used for moving or positioning patients but importantly, Kuka adheres to IS0123456 and is already familiar with FDA requirements for medical devices.

Pro-Dex, based in Irvine, Ca is a high growth innovative technology company which designs and manufactures high value devices especially for the orthopedic sector. It lists among its customers such industry giants as Stryker, DePuy, Smith & Nephew, and Medtronic. Pro-Dex is recognized as a leader in powered surgical tools with over 40,000 handpieces manufactured by them sold by multiple large global distributors.


{EOS and 3D Systems Still deciding which one. Will know soon.}

Competition

The hip and knee replacement market is dominated by three companies, Stryker, ZimmerBiomet and Depuy Synthes, a division of Johnson and Johnson. Two other significant companies are Conformis because of its use of 3D printing and Smith & Nephew because of its acquisition of Blue Belt Technologies.

Stryker operates in several business segments and generated $11.3 billion in revenue in 2016. $4.41 billion came from the orthopaedic sector and within that sector, $1.47 billion came from knee replacement surgery and $1.24 billion from hip replacement surgery. The company spent about $7.5mm on R&D in 2016 and about $4 billion on acquisitions. They have been investing heavily in 3D printing which they say minimizes manufacturing waste, allows for faster development times and more reproducible manufacturing of parts. They have introduced 3D printed components in the spine and knee replacement product lines. Recently they also announced a partnership with GE Additive, the 3D printing division of GE. In the press release announcing the partnership Stryker stated "Additive manufacturing allows Stryker to address design complexity and achieve previously unmanufacturable geometries."

Stryker acquired Mako Surgical in 2013 for $1.65 billion. At the time Mako had an installed base of about 174 robotic systems. That number has barely doubled since the time of acquisition. The list price of the Mako robotic system for use in total knee replacement surgery is $1mm.

Zimmer Biomet had total revenue in 2016 of $7,7 billion of which $2.75 billion came from knee replacement surgery and $1.87 billion came from hip replacement surgery. In 2016 ZimmerBiomet acquired Medtech SA the developer of the ROSA surgical platform for minimally invasive surgery in the brain and spine. They have stated that they intend to use the ROSA platform to migrate to other anatomies and at the AAOS meeting earlier this year unveiled the ROSA total knee replacement system concept. It is not clear if ZimmerBioMet has committed any resources to 3D printing.

Depuy Synthes is a division of Johnson &Johnson which had a total of $71.9 billion in global revenue in 2016. Medical devices accounted for $25.1 billion. Of that, orthopaedics accounted for $9.3 billion with knee replacement surgery accounting for $1.36 billion and hip replacement surgery for $1.52 billion. It is not clear if Depuy has made any investments in 3D printing or robotics.


Smith & Nephew had total revenue of $4.67 billion in 2016 with $932 million conning from knee replacements and $597 million from hip replacements. They acquired Blue Belt Technologies in 2016 for its NAVIO system which provides robotic assistance to surgeons carrying out partial knee replacements and more recently, total knee replacements. The NAVIO system is a hand held robotic system designed to assist surgeons with implant alignment, ligament balancing and bone preparation. Smith & Nephew uses 3D printing in the manufacture of acetabular cups.

Conformis uses a proprietary algorithm to convert CT scans into 3D models by mapping the articular surface of the knee joint, allowing diseased areas to be defined. This 3D model is used to design the implant and instruments for each patient. Conformis has been engaged in knee replacement for several years and in June of this year received FDA clearance for the use of its system in hip replacement. Earlier in 2017 the company announced the publication of an outcomes and economics study which demonstrated that patients with knees replaced using the Conformis system had lower adverse event rates, were less likely to be discharged to a high cost post-acute facility, had lower average costs of care and lower average costs of follow up care. Conformis' revenues for 2016 were $79.9 million.

What stands out from this brief overview is that these companies seem to consider 3D printing and robotics as functioning in discrete silos. Robotic tools allow surgeons to be more precise or perform surgery more quickly but do not allow them to do anything fundamentally novel. 3D printing allows faster development times and savings in manufacturing, but, again it is not being developed for anything fundamentally novel. None of them appears to have thought of combining the two technologies and maximizing the value obtainable from both technologies working synergistically by taking a novel approach to joint replacement surgery.

Intellectual Property and Licenses

Monogram has an exclusive world-wide license from Mount Sinai School of Medicine to the patent application entitled "Apparatus, Method and System for providing Customizable Bone Implants". The listed inventors are Douglas B Unis, Anthony Costa and Sulaiman Somani.

Regulatory

We expect both the robot and the implant to be approved in the US via the 510(k) pathway. The FDA held a workshop on robotically assisted surgery in 2015 (see link) https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/NewsEvents/WorkshopsConferences/ucm435255.htm at which Joshua Nipper, Acting Deputy Director Division of Surgical Devices stated “Robotically Assisted Surgical Devices (RASD) are technically not robots, since they are guided by direct user control. Milling RASD are currently regulated as 510K Class II devices under 21 CFR 882.4560 product code OLO "Orthopaedic Stereotaxic Instrument. Indicated for orthopedic joint or spine surgery."


In May 2016 the FDA issued draft guidance on additive manufacturing or 3D printing for medical devices, "Technical Considerations for Additive Manufactured Devices. Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff. May 10, 2016" available at the link below (https://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicaIDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Gu idanceDocuments/UCM499809.pdf). Some pertinent language from the draft guidance is quoted below.

"For medical devices, AM has the advantage of facilitating the creation of anatomically matched devices and surgical instrumentation by using a patient's own medical imaging."

"It is anticipated that AM devices will follow the same regulatory requirements as the classification and/or regulation to which a non-AM device of the same type is subject to. In rare cases, AM may raise different questions of safety and/or effectiveness."

This language noted above suggests the FDA is likely to consider 3d printing to be just another manufacturing method and will not impose novel requirement on devices manufactured in this way. More importantly, the FDA recognizes the potential of 3D printing to allow customization of devices for individual patients.

Reimbursement

Hip replacement surgery is covered by DRG 469 which covers major joint replacement of a lower extremity with major comorbidities or complications and DRG470 which covers the same procedure without complications or comorbidities. Payments for situations where the hip is also fractured are considerably higher. CMS introduced a five year pilot bundled payment plan effective April 1 2016 in an effort to determine if such an approach would lead to increased quality of outcomes and less variation in outcomes across different hospital settings. The pilot covers 800 hundred hospitals in 67 MSAs (Metropolitan Statistical Areas) which include most major population centers.

Exhibit E

Client and Billing Agreement

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (“Mount Sinai”), a New York not-for-profit education corporation, organized under the laws of New York, and having an address at One Gustave L. Levy Place, New York, NY

10029; and Monogram Orthopedics (“Company”), a Delaware corporation, with a principal place of business at New Lab, Building 128, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Brooklyn, NY 11251, have entered into a License Agreement with respect to certain inventions which are the subject of the patent applications and patents listed in Appendix A hereto, including any continuations, divisions, extensions thereof, and any foreign counterpart patents, applications, or registrations (“Patent Rights”);

Mount Sinai has retained the services of [LAW FIRM NAME] (“Law Firm”), with offices [LAW FIRM ADDRESS], to prepare, file and prosecute the pending patent applications constituting the Patent Rights and to maintain the patents that issue thereon;

Law Firm represents Mount Sinai, not Company and has no duties to Company which has its own independent counsel. Law Firm’s client, Mount Sinai, has agreed to share Law Firm’s communications with Company, and has asked Law Firm to communicate with and send its bills directly to Company with copies to Mount Sinai. Pursuant to this Agreement, Company has agreed to pay those bills in accordance with the terms set forth below in this Client and Billing Agreement. Mount Sinai and Company have concluded that they share a common legal interest regarding the Patent Rights, and that their common interest would be served by exchanging information regarding the Patent Rights.

Mount Sinai, Company and Law Firm, intending to formalize their business relationships, agree as follows:

1.

Mount Sinai is the owner of the Patent Rights.

2.

Company is the licensee of Mount Sinai’s interest in the Patent Rights.

3.

Mount Sinai shall maintain its existing attorney-client relationship with Law Firm in furtherance of efforts to secure and maintain the Patent Rights.

4.

Law Firm will interact directly with Company on all patent prosecution and patent maintenance matters related to the Patent Rights and will copy Mount Sinai on all correspondence related thereto. Law Firm agrees to notify Mount Sinai and Company in writing reasonably in advance of the due date or deadline for any action in connection with any patent application within the Patent Rights, and of Mount Sinai’s right to file any continuing application or foreign counterpart application based on the Patent Rights, and extension of patent term. In any case, Company shall give Mount Sinai written notice of any final decision regarding the action to be taken or not to be taken prior to or at the same time as instructing Law Firm to implement the decision. For Patent Rights that are solely owned by Mount Sinai, Mount Sinai reserves the right to countermand any instruction given by Company to Law Firm, so long as doing so does not adversely affect the scope of any claim covering a Company product and provided that a) the countermand is notified to Company before the due date or deadline for any action, b) is based on reasonable grounds and c) that Mount Sinai pays any additional costs incurred as a result of countermanding Company’s decision.


5.

Law Firm’s legal services relating to the Patent Rights will be performed on behalf of Mount Sinai. Law Firm shall invoice Company directly for all work relating to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights and shall provide copies of all invoices to Mount Sinai. Law Firm shall provide annual estimates to Company for all anticipated work to be carried out in advance of carrying out such work, and shall notify Company and provide updated cost estimates in the event the cost of the work exceeds the original cost estimate. Company is responsible for the payment of all charges and fees so invoiced by Law Firm. Company will pay invoices due by Company directly to Law Firm and copy Mount Sinai on each payment.

6.

To clarify each party’s position with regard to prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights, Company will notify Law Firm in writing of all decisions to authorize the performance of any desired service(s), which shall be subject to Mount Sinai’s right to countermand, as provided in paragraph 4, above for Patent rights solely owned by Mount Sinai. In the event Mount Sinai countermands any decision or instruction of Company, such countermand shall be promptly communicated in writing to Law Firm and Company.

7.

This agreement represents the complete understanding of each of the undersigned parties as to the client and billing arrangements defined herein. Additions or deletions of dockets identified in Appendix A will become effective only by written addendum to Appendix A. All such additions or deletions of individual patents or applications filed in the US, or as foreign counterparts thereof are considered to be within the terms of this client and billing agreement.

8.

Notices and copies of all correspondence relating to the Patent Rights should be sent to the following:
