Consulting Agreement, dated July 15, 2019, between CytoDyn Inc. and Scott A. Kelly, M.D

Project Assignments.

Consultant will, when requested by Company, submit a proposal (the “Proposal”) for services requested by Company (individually, a “Project,” and collectively, the “Projects”). Each Proposal will include Project specifications and a cost estimate, including pass-through costs. If accepted in writing by Company, the Proposal will be incorporated into a project assignment, which, upon execution by the parties, will be deemed a “Project Assignment” and incorporated into this Agreement. Company will have no obligations hereunder with respect to any work performed by Consultant unless such work is covered by an executed Project Assignment prior to such work commencing. The form of a Project Assignment under this Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Consultant will provide the services described on each Project Assignment (the “Services”). Consultant will perform the Services in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. Consultant will complete the Services in accordance with the timelines set forth in the applicable Project Assignment. Consultant acknowledges that time is of the essence in the performance of the Services.

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. 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 insurance on Consultant’s behalf. Consultant agrees to accept exclusive liability for complying with all applicable state and federal laws governing independent contractors, including obligations such as payment of taxes, social security, disability and other contributions based on fees paid to Consultant, its agents or employees under this Agreement. Consultant hereby agrees to reimburse, indemnify and defend Company against any and all such taxes or contributions, including without limitation penalties and interest.

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.

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 preformed. 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 (e.g., coach class airfare). 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.

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 invention, whether or not patentable, and all related know-how, designs, mask works, trademarks, formulae, processes, manufacturing techniques, trade secrets, ideas, artwork, software or other copyrightable or patentable works.
