WHEREAS, Somah is engaged in developing products to prevent ischemic injury to organs and tissues and its products include DuraGraft, a one-time intraoperative vascular graft treatment for use in vascular and bypass surgeries that maintains endothelial function and structure, and other related properties (together, the “Derivative Works”) derived from the intellectual property (the “Intellectual Property”) listed on Exhibit A hereto, the Intellectual Property and all assets relating to the Derivative Works being all of the material assets (the “Assets”) of Somah; and

WHEREAS, Somah desires to sell the Assets to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase the Assets from Somah (the “Acquisition”), to commercialize the Intellectual Property and the Derivative Works in the U.S. and the rest of the world, in exchange for shares of Buyer’s common stock and milestone-based consideration.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms, and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Transfer of Assets.

a)Purchase of Assets. Concurrently upon receipt of all the consideration due at Closing (as defined below) set forth in Section 2 below, Seller shall transfer to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Assets, including all Intellectual Property, documents, know how, contracts, patent and patent applications and Trademarks listed on Exhibit A attached hereto. 

b)No Assumption of Pre-Closing Liabilities. Buyer will not assume nor have any responsibility with respect to any Seller liabilities which exist at Closing or which are attributable to actions taken by Seller prior to Closing, and Buyer shall not be deemed by anything contained in this Agreement or any other instrument to have assumed or become responsible for any such Seller liabilities, all of which shall remain the responsibility of Seller.  

2. Consideration. In consideration of Seller’s transfer to Buyer at Closing of the Intellectual Property, Buyer shall issue to certain persons to be designated by Somah, such designated persons being equity owners of Somah (the “Seller Designees”), shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the ”Common Shares”), and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock (the “Closing Warrants”), and milestone based consideration as specified below. The Equity (as defined below) shall be issued to those Seller Designees and in the denominations listed on Exhibit B attached hereto.

a)At the Closing, Marizyme shall issue to the Somah Designees, in the aggregate:

ii.Closing Warrants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, to purchase three million restricted Common Shares at a strike price of $5 per share and a term of 5 years (together with the Purchase Shares, the “Equity”). 

If in the fundraising contemplated in Section 3(e) of this Agreement (the “Offering”) Marizyme raises more than $20 million, Marizyme will issue to the Seller Designees, pro rata, a number of additional restricted Common Shares such that the percentage of the total number of outstanding Common Shares of Marizyme represented by the Purchase Shares prior to the Offering equals that percentage following the termination of the Offering. This adjustment will be made on a one-time basis and will not apply to any other fundraising efforts that may be undertaken by Marizyme.

b)Marizyme shall, on a pro rata basis, grant the Seller Designees warrants (the “Performance Warrants”) and begin the payment to the Seller Designees of royalties upon receiving U.S. Federal Drug Administration final approval and insurance reimbursement approval on the products, and in the amounts, specified below. The royalties and Performance Warrants described in this Section 2(b) shall expire upon the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration of U.S. patent relating to the specified product (in the event that such patent is not extended), (ii) immediately upon (or with respect to the Performance Warrants only, 90 days following) the closing of the sale and transfer of the specified product and its related Intellectual Property (a “Product Sale”) to an unaffiliated third party, and, with respect to the Performance Warrants, (iii) five years from the date of issuance. Marizyme undertakes that it will only consummate a Product Sale with a third-party buyer who agrees to continue paying the Buyer Designees royalties as specified below. “Net Sales” as used below means Marizyme’s gross receipts from its sale of DuraGraft products minus manufacturing, distribution and selling expenses:
