3.1. Payments.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.1, Ensysce shall pay Galephar as compensation in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in Annex I B for PF614 and Statement of work to be defined for PF614-MPAR. All payments shall be inclusive of all applicable taxes.

(b) Issuance of Common Stock.

(i) Upon the signing of this Agreement, Ensysce shall make an equity grant to Galephar equal to one percent (1%) of its outstanding shares at such time pursuant to a restricted stock grant (the “Restricted Shares”). One-third (1/3) of the Restricted Shares will vest upon signing this Agreement, one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Shares will vest when fifty percent (50%) of the project is completed, and the remaining one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Shares will vest upon the satisfaction when 100% of the project is completed, in each case as determined by the JDC (collectively, the “Repayment Period”). Any Restricted Shares issued shall be subject to a three-year lock-up, except in the event of a change of control event of Ensysce, in which case such Restricted Shares shall immediately vest.

(ii) Ensysce will (i) compensate Galephar’s development costs in restricted stock (50%) or freely tradeable shares (50%) equivalent to 1.2 times Galephar’s actual investment subject to the Cap.

(iii) During the Repayment Period, Ensysce shall issue shares for payment as set forth on the Statement of Work schedule. Ensysce shall not be required to effect more than two (2) registration statements to issue freely tradeable shares each year, the first of which shall be filed no earlier than April 15, 2025.

(iv) Notwithstanding the preceding, if Ensysce raises more than $10m for development of the Products from one or more institutional investors which require that some percentage of the payment to Galephar must be made in cash, then, based upon such requirement, at Ensysce’s option, up to fifty percent (50%) of the payment may be in cash distributed evenly between restricted stock and freely tradeable stock. In such a case, Ensysce will provide a tax gross-up of thirty percent (30%) on the cash payment to offset the resulting tax liability for Galephar.

(v) The number of Shares to be issued shall be determined by applying the trailing five day closing price divided by the payment. By way of example, if the payment amount is $200,000 and the trailing five day closing price is $5/Share, 40,000 Shares will be delivered, 20,000 of which shall be registered and 20,000 of which shall be restricted. There will be no future variable pricing in the determination of the share price, i.e., each issuance shall be a fixed number of shares at a fixed determination price.

(vi) Good Faith Dispute. In the event of any good faith dispute with regard to completion of a Milestone, Ensysce shall notify Galephar of such dispute within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the invoice, and any undisputed portion of the invoice shall be paid as provided herein. The Parties, which may be pursuant to the JDC, will work together in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to an invoice.

4.1. API Supply. Ensysce will, at its sole cost and expense, supply Galephar with sufficient quantities of the API for Galephar to perform the Services.

4.3. Qualification of Materials and Vendors. Galephar is responsible for any vendor qualification of Galephar furnished Materials and for providing any required certificates of compliance for such Galephar furnished Materials. Ensysce is responsible for any vendor qualification of Ensysce furnished materials and for providing any required certificates of compliance for such Ensysce furnished materials.

4.4. Quality Agreement. Within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, the Parties shall enter into a mutually agreed quality agreement specifying their respective responsibilities for manufacture, storage, release, quality control and quality assurance for Products (the “Quality Agreement”). Upon signature, the Quality Agreement will be deemed incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in the Quality Agreement, if there is a conflict between this Agreement and the Quality Agreement with respect to a commercial matter, such as allocation of risk, liability or financial responsibility, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Unless otherwise specified in the Quality Agreement, if there is a conflict between this Agreement and the Quality Agreement with respect to quality-related activities, the provisions of the Quality Agreement shall govern.

4.5. Commercial Supply. During the Term, the Parties will negotiate the terms of an agreement for commercial supply of Products by Galephar to Ensysce (the “Commercial Supply Agreement”).

5.2. Deadlines. If Galephar fails to deliver to Ensysce the milestone deliverable specified in the Statement of Work by the delivery date specified therein (or during a 30 day grace period following), for any reason whatsoever other than a breach of this Agreement by Ensysce, then Galephar shall deliver the such milestone deliverable at actual cost, without the 1.2x mark-up specified in Section 3.1(b)(ii).
