The parties may mutually agree to extend the time by which the Future Amendment must be executed.

2.On or before February 15, 2020, COMPANY shall provide M.I.T. with a detailed, written plan for achieving reasonably extended and/or amended diligence milestones for the development and commercialization of a LICENSED PRODUCT.

4.This License Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and except as expressly amended by this Fourth Amendment, all terms and conditions of the License Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the License Agreement. The License Agreement shall, together with this Fourth Amendment, be read and construed as a single instrument.
