GRANT

Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Stanford grants Graphite (a) the right to use the Optioned Patents and Optioned Technology during the Term and only in the Option Field of Use (the “Right to Use”), solely to provide the Optionee the opportunity to determine its interest in exercising the Option; and (b) a time-limited Option (the “Option”) to elect to obtain, during the Negotiation Period (as defined below), a license under Stanford’s rights in (i) Optioned Patents and Optioned Technology for the Option Field of Use and Initial Field of Use and (ii) Licensed Patents and Licensed Technology for the Option Field of Use, in each case, to make, have made, use, import, offer to sell and sell and otherwise commercially exploit Licensed Products and Technology in the Licensed Territory through either an amendment to the Existing License Agreement (“Amended License Agreement”) or through a separate license agreement (“New License Agreement”). Such license under Optioned Patents and Licensed Patents, including the right to sublicense, shall be Exclusively Licensed in the indications specified at the time of exercise within the Option Field of Use and in the Initial Field of Use. Such license under the Exclusive Technology, including the right to sublicense, shall be (1) Exclusively Licensed in the indications specified at the time of exercise within the Initial Field of Use and in the Option Field of Use and (2) non-exclusive in the any other fields within the Rx Field of Use. Such license under the Nonexclusive Technology shall be non-exclusive in all fields in the Rx Field of Use. The Parties agree that the term “indications specified at the time of exercise” as used above is not intended to be limiting and, among other means of identification, may be specified by

Term. Unless otherwise terminated by operation of law or by acts of the parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the term of the right to elect to exercise this Option shall commence on the Effective Date and expires 12 months from the Effective Date, or upon Graphite’s termination as provided in Section 4.1 below. Any termination or expiration of this Agreement will not relieve Graphite of its obligation to pay any fees or monies, including the Option fee, due or owing at the time of termination or expiration and will not impair any accrued rights of Stanford. Graphite may elect to extend the term of the Option in 1-year increments for a maximum of 2.0 years so that the total term of this Option may not exceed 3.0 years, provided that:

Graphite gives 30 days’ prior notice to Stanford for each of the two extensions;

Stanford and Graphite mutually agree (not to be unreasonably withheld) to each] extension provided Graphite is in compliance with its obligations under Section 7; and

Graphite pays the appropriate compensation under Section 8.1.

EXERCISE OF OPTION

Exercise.

If [***] or Stanford otherwise agrees in writing, Graphite may exercise this Option by providing written notice to Stanford that includes Optioned Patents and Optioned Technology under one or more of the Option Field of Use. If [***], Graphite may only exercise this Option for Optioned Patents [***], by providing written notice to Stanford that includes Optioned Patents and Optioned Technology under one or more of the Option Field of Use. The Parties will then determine in good faith whether such Option Patents or Optioned Technology could be included in the Amended

[***]

Negotiation. If Graphite has provided Stanford an Exercise of Notification, provided that Graphite is in compliance with the Existing License Agreement, and further provided the Commercialization Plan is reasonably acceptable to Stanford, Graphite and Stanford will promptly commence negotiation of an Amended License Agreement to include or a New License Agreement that includes Optioned Patents and Optioned Technology along with any additional financial terms and diligence milestones commensurate with the value and stage of development of the technology covered by Optioned Patents and Optioned Technology taking into consideration the Commercialization Plan, the scope of license sought by Graphite, industry standards and Stanford’s legal obligations to any third party; provided, however, that Graphite and Stanford acknowledge that absent material and substantial differences between the Option Field of Use being licensed and the Initial Fields of Use licensed under the Existing License Agreement, the financial terms of such Amended License Agreement or New License Agreement would be the same as those set forth in the Existing License Agreement (excluding any grant of additional equity by Graphite). Graphite and Stanford will execute an Amended License Agreement or a New License Agreement no later than 3 months after the date of the Exercise of Option Negotiation. The parties will negotiate the terms in good faith. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Option to the contrary, neither party will be obligated to negotiate a license agreement beyond the period of (i) six (6) months from receipt of Exercise of Option Notification (“Negotiation Period”), or (ii) expiration or termination of the Option, whichever is later unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, any discussions and/or negotiations between the parties subsequent to the Negotiation Period will not be construed to extend or revive the option granted hereunder or any party’s obligation to negotiate the terms of the license agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that good-faith negotiations may or may not result in the execution of the license agreement.

Materials Transfer. To the extent Stanford has legal rights to do so, the exercise of the Option would also include materials transfer of any materials included in the Optioned Technology.

Retained Rights. Stanford retains the right, on behalf of itself, Stanford Health Care, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, and all other non-profit research institutions, to practice the Optioned Patent and use Optioned Technology for any non-profit purpose, including sponsored research and collaborations. Graphite agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it has no right to enforce the Optioned Patent against any such institution. Stanford and any such other institution have the right to publish any information included in any Optioned Technology or Optioned Patent.
