WHEREAS, Institution has previously entered into a Clinical Trial Agreement to perform the Study entitled “An observational study to determine the in-vitro immunologic and virology activity of Cytolin,” with Company on September 28,2009, as amended on October 14, 2009; December 1, 2009; March 1, 2010; and December 7, 2010 (the “Agreement”); and

 

  B. WHEREAS, Principal Investigator has received approval from the IRB to extend the Study, which in turn has led to increased budget costs in order for Institution to complete the Study; and

 

  C. WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to further amend the Agreement as set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, Institution and Company agree as follows:

 

  1. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment #5, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. All terms used herein shall have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

  2. Section 9.1 of the Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:

General, Company agrees to support the Study with a total research grant of Eight Hundred, Sixty-Five Thousand, Three Hundred and Seventy-Five Dollars ($865,375.00), inclusive of indirect costs. Five Hundred Seventy Three Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty Five Dollars ($573,785.00) has already been paid to Institution, and the remaining $291,590.00 (“Remaining Payment”) shall be paid as follows: 50% of Remaining Payment shall

be paid 30 days after execution of this Amendment #5; another 25% shall be due at month four following execution of this Amendment #5; and the remaining 25% shall be due at month six following execution of this Amendment #5.

  5. This Amendment #5 shall be made part of the Agreement and attached thereto.
