Project Assignments.

The initial Project Assignment under this Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

If and when executed by both parties, Consultant will provide the services described on each Project Assignment (the “Services”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Project Assignment”). Consultant will perform the Services in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and in a professional manner consistent with industry standards.

Consultant may not subcontract or otherwise delegate its obligations under this Agreement without Company’s prior written consent. Before any Consultant employee or contractor performs services in connection with this Agreement, the employee or contractor and Consultant must have entered into a written agreement containing provisions substantially equivalent to Section 4 below.

Each party will discuss any changes in the scope of the Services that may affect the budget or timelines for a given Project Assignment with the other party. All changes to a Project Assignment, including, without limitation, any changes in scope, payments or timelines, will be set forth in an amended Project Assignment. No amended Project Assignment will be effective unless signed by an authorized Company representative and Consultant. Once such amended Project Assignment becomes effective, the Project Assignment will be changed to the extent set forth in the amended Project Assignment and will be amended to and governed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Independent Contractor Relationship.

Consultant’s relationship with Company will be that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship. Consultant is not the agent of Company and is not authorized to make any representation, contract, or commitment on behalf of Company. Because Consultant is an independent contractor, Company will not withhold or make payments for social security, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain worker’s

Compensation.

Company shall pay Consultant for the Services in accordance with the applicable Project Assignment. The amounts set forth in the applicable Project Assignment represent Company’s maximum liability in connection with the Services covered by such Project Assignment.

If invoicing is required by a Project Assignment, Consultant shall invoice Company in accordance with the Project Assignment. Each invoice shall be itemized in sufficient detail to permit independent auditing and verification that the work covered by such invoice has been properly performed. Company shall pay each undisputed and valid invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt and verification. If any portion of an invoice is disputed, then Company shall pay the undisputed amounts as set forth in the preceding sentence and the parties shall use good faith efforts to reconcile the disputed amount as soon as practicable.

Company shall reimburse Consultant for travel and out-of-pocket expenses authorized by the Company and upon receipt by Company of copies of receipts or other appropriate evidence of such expenditures. Travel expenses incurred by Consultant must be consistent with Company’s travel policy. Company shall not reimburse Consultant for time spent traveling unless specifically authorized in advance.

All invoices for Services rendered and out-of-pocket expenses incurred must be submitted to Company within thirty (30) days from the date of completion of the Services. Company shall have no liability with respect to any amounts not invoiced within the preceding timeframe.

Intellectual Property / Confidentiality / Use of Materials

In order to facilitate Consultant’s services under this Agreement, it may be necessary for Company to disclose certain data and other proprietary information to Consultant, and/or to provide Consultant with compounds and/or samples (“Materials”) which, together with any information generated or discovered by Consultant in performing Services hereunder (collectively, “Proprietary Information”), Consultant agrees to retain in strict confidence and not to disclose or transfer to any party other than as authorized in writing by Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Consultant will maintain the Materials, including any analogs, derivatives and/or reproducible portions thereof, in confidence and will not transfer it to any third party, nor permit the Materials to be directly incorporated in any commercial product, without first securing Company’s written agreement. Consultant shall use the Proprietary Information only for performance of the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Consultant represents and warrants that all of its employees, Consultants and agents that will have access to any Proprietary Information are subject to written obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Proprietary Information at least as stringent as those set forth herein. Upon completion of Consultant’s services hereunder or written request by Company, Consultant will return all tangible forms of Proprietary Information in its possession to Company, unless directed otherwise by Company. These obligations of confidentiality and non-use will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for one (1) year, but will not apply to information: (a) that was previously known to Consultant as

Nothing in this Agreement, or in the furnishing of Proprietary Information by Company, will be construed as giving Consultant any right, title, interest in or ownership of Proprietary Information.

Consultant understands and acknowledges the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has material non-public (“inside”) information about a company from purchasing or selling securities of such company, and prohibits communicating such information to any other person under circumstances where it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities of such company. Consultant further acknowledges that Company’s Proprietary Information can constitute such material non-public information and agrees to comply with United States securities laws governing the use of such information.

Project results may not be published, presented, announced or referred to, in whole or in part, by Consultant without the prior express written consent of Company, which Company may withhold at its sole discretion.

Third-Party Information. Consultant understands that Company has received, and will in the future receive, from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third-Party Information”) subject to a duty on Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees to hold Third-Party Information in confidence and not to disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for Company) or to use, except in connection with Consultant’s work for Company, Third-Party Information unless expressly authorized in writing by an officer of Company.

Disclosure of Work Product. As used in this Agreement, the term “Work Product” means any copyrightable work of authorship.

Assistance. Consultant agrees to cooperate with Company or its designee(s), both during and after the term of this Agreement, to perfect and maintain Company’s copyright rights in and to the Company Work Product.

Consultant acknowledges that the promises or agreements contained in this Agreement relating to confidentiality and/or intellectual property are necessary and reasonable in order to protect Company and its business, and Consultant expressly agrees that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate Company for the breach thereof, and that any such violation or threatened violation will cause irreparable injury to Company. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, Company shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach by Consultant of such obligations, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting bond.
