6. Territories. The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the Existing Agreements various portions of the world were not allocated between the parties as exclusive Territories for exploiting the Takagi Technology and Histogenics’ Technology.

****CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
Histogenics has undertaken to pay any royalties due under the B&W License to the extent that such royalties are measured by Histogenics’ revenue. Histogenics has also agreed to pay any minimum royalties or milestone payments required by Sections 4.4 and 4.5 of the B&W License. Histogenics shall continue to honor these obligations until such time as Histogenics is no longer using the technology licensed by the B&W License. Upon written notice from Histogenics of its intent to cease using the technology licensed by the B&W License, Takagi shall reassume all responsibility under the B&W License or, at Takagi’s option, allow the B&W License to lapse. Histogenics shall defend, indemnify and hold Takagi harmless from any claim by or liability to ****.
8. Consideration. At such time as when Histogenics enters into a transaction that would constitute an “Event of Liquidation” as defined in the **** Term Sheet (a “Liquidity Event”), then, upon the closing of such Liquidity Event, Takagi shall be paid from the proceeds, as, if; when and “in-kind” received by Histogenics or its stockholders, the Consideration (as such term defined below). The term “Consideration” shall mean 7.8125% of the net proceeds of any Liquidity Event. In the event that Histogenics requires financing exceeding the $48 million contemplated by the **** Term Sheet prior to a Liquidity Event, and one or more the investors (including their successors and assigns) participating in the financing contemplated by the **** Term Sheet (the “**** Investors”) also participate in such additional financing, then the Consideration will be subject to dilution pursuant to the following formula:
| $48M | x 7.8125% = New Consideration Percentage | |
| ($48M +$x) |
where $x is the additional amount of equity investment beyond the $48 million contemplated by the **** Term Sheet. The Consideration shall be paid from the net proceeds to be received by the Histogenics’ stockholders after the payment of; (a) transaction costs to unaffiliated third parties, (b) repayment of debt incurred after the Effective Date, if any, and (c) the payment of all rights and
****CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
preferences due to the **** Investors. To the extent that the stockholders of Histogenics receive payment of the purchase price from a Liquidity Event over time, such as an escrow, installment sale or earnout, then the Consideration shall be paid as funds (whether in cash or in-kind) are actually received by the stockholders of Histogenics. At the Effective Date, the stockholders (which term in this Agreement includes the **** Investors) shall enter into a Stockholders Agreement whereby they agree on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns to irrevocably authorize Histogenics to pay the Consideration upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event from the proceeds thereof directly to Takagi in accordance with the terms hereof.
If, in lieu of a Liquidity Event, Histogenics shall undertake an initial public offering of its common stock (an “IPO”) then immediately prior to the IPO Histogenics and/or its stockholders shall pay the Consideration in shares of its common stock valued at the IPO price, as determined by the Histogenics IPO pricing committee (the “Shares”). For purposes of determining the aggregate number of Shares to be issued to Takagi in such case, Histogenics shall take its pre-IPO value as determined by the Histogenics IPO pricing committee, subtract from that amount the transaction costs of the IPO, the amount of post-Effective Date indebtedness, if any, of Histogenics at the time and the amount of all rights and preferences of the **** Investors, and then multiply the result by the Consideration percentage. ****
Subject to execution of any applicable confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement, Takagi shall have the right to receive and review copies of the closing documentation and agreements relating to any Liquidity Event.
9. Cooperation with **** Closing. Takagi agrees to cooperate with Histogenics to assist it in closing the transactions contemplated by the **** Term Sheet including without limitation executing such documents, votes, and certificates as Histogenics or the investors in the
****CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
transactions contemplated thereby may reasonably request; provided, however, that none of such documents, votes or certificates shall be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
10. Indemnification. Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold each other and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and their respective heirs, successors and assigns (the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnitees or any one of them in connection with any third-party claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments arising out of ****.
11. Confidentiality. Except as specified in Section 6, above, each party shall keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by or on behalf of, and belonging to, the other party in connection with this Agreement, whether marked as proprietary or confidential, or which, by the circumstances of the disclosure, would reasonably be understood as the proprietary information of such other party, including, but not limited to all know-how, trade secrets and proprietary technical information. The receiving party shall not disclose the other party’s confidential information to any third party and shall protect such information with the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar importance, but in no case using less than a reasonable degree of care, and may only disclose the confidential information to its affiliates, employees, agents or independent contractors on a need-to-know basis and who are bound by written confidentiality obligations consistent with the receiving party’s obligations hereunder. The receiving party shall only use the other party’s confidential information to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement. If the receiving party receives a request pursuant to a court order, governmental body request or other legal process to disclose the other party’s confidential information, the receiving party will promptly notify the other party and provide reasonable assistance to limit the scope of the required disclosure or seek a protective order. The receiving party shall not be subject to confidentiality obligations for confidential information that (a) at the time of receipt was already known to it without confidentiality obligation; (b) becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the receiving party; (c) was received from a third party without

confidentiality restrictions; (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the confidential information of the other party; or (e) is approved for release by prior written authorization by the other party or its authorized agent.
12. Patent Prosecution. Each party will have the sole right to make all decisions regarding the filing, prosecution and maintenance of its respective patents. Without limiting the foregoing, if a party does not make any filing or payment related to the prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application which it owns and is licensed under this Agreement (the Takagi Patents or Histogenics Patents, as applicable) or intends not to make such payment or filing or to abandon or allow any right to any such patent or patent application to lapse, it will promptly inform the other party, and such other Party will have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion and expense, to file or continue the prosecution or maintenance of such patent or patent application in its own name.
13. Patent Enforcement. Each party shall promptly notify the other party of any suspected infringement by a third party of which it is aware concerning the Takagi Patents or Histogenics Patents. **** will have the first right, but not the obligation to initiate and prosecute legal proceedings with respect to any patent **** under this Agreement (****, as applicable), at its own expense, and to control the defense of any such action. If **** does not intend to pursue any legal proceeding, **** will promptly inform ****, and **** will have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate an action at its own cost and expense only to the extent the potential infringement pertains to ****’s products or services covered by a patent ****. **** will reasonably cooperate with **** in any such effort, including being joined as a party to such action if necessary, at the expense of ****.
14. Miscellaneous. The interpretation and application of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which shall also serve as the exclusive venue for the resolution of any disputes. The failure of any party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement or any right with respect thereto, or to exercise any election as herein provided, shall in no

way be considered to be a waiver of such provision, right or election, or in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. The exercise by any party of any right or election under the terms of this Agreement shall not preclude or prejudice any party from exercising the same or any other right it may have under this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor the rights or obligations under it may be assigned by either party to a third party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement, or the rights or obligations under it, in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, equity or the business to which this Agreement relates, or similar business combination.
