Definitive Agreement Upfront Payment. Pediatrix shall make a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable payment to ARS of three million US dollars ($3,000,000) within [***] after the Effective Date.

Milestone Payments.

Regulatory and Commercial Milestone Payments.

Pediatrix shall notify ARS immediately (within [***] in any event) upon achievement of the Milestone Event set below. Within [***] after the first achievement of the Milestone Event below (whether by Pediatrix or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) and Pediatrix’s receipt of a corresponding invoice from ARS, Pediatrix shall pay to ARS the [***] Milestone Payment corresponding to the Milestone Event as shown below.

For clarity, the Milestone Payments set forth in this Section 8.2(a) shall be payable only once, upon the first achievement of the Milestone Event for the first Product in the Field in the Pediatrix Territory to achieve the Milestone Event. Therefore, the maximum total amount payable under this Section 8.2(a) is $4,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pediatrix’s failure to notify ARS in accordance with this Section 8.2(a) shall not relieve it of its obligation to make payments set above.

Aggregate Annual Net Sales Milestone Events and Milestone Payments.

As part of the royalty report in Section 8.3(g), Pediatrix shall notify ARS if any of the Aggregate Annual Net Sales Milestone Event is achieved in the time period to which the royalty report pertains. After the end of each Calendar Quarter in which Aggregate Annual Net Sales of all Products first exceed any threshold indicated in the “Aggregate Annual Net Sales Milestone Events” column listed below and Pediatrix’s receipt of a corresponding invoice from ARS, Pediatrix shall pay to ARS the corresponding non-refundable, non-creditable Milestone Payment set forth below in accordance with Section 8.3(g):

For clarity, the Milestone Payments corresponding to each Aggregate Annual Net Sales Milestone Event set forth in this Section 8.2(b) shall be payable only once, upon the first achievement of the applicable Aggregate Annual Net Sales Milestone Event, and shall be additive so that if all [***] Aggregate Annual Net Sales Milestone Events set forth in Section 8.2(b)(i) are achieved in the same Calendar Year, Pediatrix shall pay to ARS all [***] corresponding Milestone Payments. The maximum total amount payable under this Section 8.2(b) is $80,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pediatrix’s failure to notify ARS in accordance with this Section 8.2(b) shall not relieve it of its obligation to make payments set above.

Additional Drug Product Supply Payments.

Royalty Rate. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in each Calendar Quarter, Pediatrix shall pay ARS the royalties at the rate set forth below on aggregate annual Net Sales of Products in a given Calendar Year (“Aggregate Annual Net Sales”) in all regions in the Pediatrix Territory combined during the Royalty Term, as such royalty amounts are calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty rate set forth below by the corresponding amount of the portion of Aggregate Annual Net Sales within each royalty rate tier in such Calendar Year.

For the portion of Aggregate Annual Net Sales of all Products less than or equal to $[***]

For the portion of Aggregate Annual Net Sales of all Products in excess of $[***], but less than or equal to $[***]

For the portion of Aggregate Annual Net Sales of all Products in excess of $[***], but less than or equal to $[***]

For the portion of Aggregate Annual Net Sales of all Products in excess of $[***]

Royalty Term.

Pediatrix’s obligations to pay royalties under this Section 8.3 shall continue, on a Product-by-Product and region-by-region basis in the Pediatrix Territory, until the latest of (i) expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim of the ARS Patents set forth in Exhibit 1 covering such Product in such region; (ii) the expiration of all Regulatory Exclusivities that covering such Product in such region; or (iii) ten (10) years after the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such region (the “Royalty Term”). All Net Sales of all Products in all regions in the Pediatrix Territory shall be added together to determine the Aggregate Annual Net Sales and applicable royalty tier described in Section 8.3(a).

For clarity, if a Product is first sold in a region in which the Royalty Term for such Product has expired or any royalty reduction applies (the, “First Region”), and such Product is subsequently exported from such region and imported into a region in which the Royalty Term for such Product has not expired or the royalty reduction does not apply (the, “Second Region”), [***].

No Valid Claim. On a Product-by-Product and region-by-region basis in the Pediatrix Territory, If a Product is sold in a region during the applicable Royalty Term at a time when there is no Valid Claim in the ARS Patents set forth in Exhibit 1 that covers such Product in such region, then the royalty rate applicable to the Net Sales of such Product in such region during such time shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of the rate set forth in Section 8.3(a).

Generic Competition. On a Product-by-Product and region-by-region basis in the Pediatrix Territory, if a Generic Product is sold in such region in any, then the royalty payment payable to ARS with respect to such Product in such region during such [***] shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of the rate set forth in Section 8.3(a), Where, if the unit volume of Generic Product(s) sold in such region in a Calendar Quarter is at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the total unit volume of Generic Product(s) plus unit volume of Product sold by Pediatrix, its Affiliates and Sublicensees in such region in such [***], then the royalty payment payable to ARS with respect to such Product in such region during such [***] shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%). Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the unit volumes of Generic Product(s) sold during a [***] shall be as reported by [***] or any successor to [***] or any other independent sales auditing firm reasonably agreed upon by the Parties.

Third Party IP.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, ARS shall be solely responsible for any and all payments ARS owes to the Upstream Licensors under the applicable Upstream Licenses and in no event shall Pediatrix, its Affiliates, Sublicensees or contractors be liable for any of such payments. Without limiting the foregoing, ARS shall be solely responsible for any royalty payments to Aegis under the Aegis Agreement (which may be amended) under which ARS obtained rights to certain ARS Patents or ARS Know-How.

If Pediatrix obtains a license from a Third Party under any Patent owned or controlled by such Third Party that would be infringed, absent such a license, by the practice of the ARS Technology in the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Product in the Field in a region in the Pediatrix Territory, then Pediatrix shall have the right to deduct, from the royalty payment that would otherwise have been due pursuant to this Section 8.3 with respect to Net Sales of such Product in such region in a [***], an amount equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the royalties paid by Pediatrix to such Third Party pursuant such license on account of the sale of such Product in such region during such [***]. For clarity, the royalty reduction under this Section 8.3(e)(ii) shall apply only to Third Party Patent that is necessary for the freedom to operate of the ARS Technology, and shall not apply to any other intellectual property that Pediatrix may elect to use or incorporate into the Product.

Royalty Floor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the operation of Sections 8.3(c), 8.3(d), and 8.3(e)(ii) individually or in combination shall not reduce the royalties that would otherwise have been due under Section 8.3(a) with respect to Net Sales of any Product in any region during any [***] by more than [***] percent ([***]%).

Royalty and Net Sales Milestone Payment. Within [***] days after the end of each [***], commencing with the [***] during which the First Commercial Sale of a Product is made anywhere in the Pediatrix Territory, Pediatrix shall provide to ARS a report setting forth a calculation of the royalties due to ARS for such [***] and whether any sales milestone has been achieved during such time period. Promptly following the receipt of the applicable quarterly report, ARS shall invoice Pediatrix for the royalties due to ARS with respect to Net Sales by Pediatrix, its Affiliates and their respective Sublicensees for such [***] and, if any sales milestone is achieved, the corresponding sales milestone payment. Pediatrix pay such amounts to ARS within [***] following Pediatrix’s receipt of such invoice; [***].

PAYMENT; RECORDS; AUDITS

Exchange Rate; Manner and Place of Payment. All references to dollars and “$” herein shall refer to U.S. dollars. All payments hereunder shall be payable in U.S. dollars unless otherwise expressly stated. When conversion of payments from any currency other than U.S. dollars is required, the Parties shall use the average rate of exchange for U.S. dollars prevailing on the last day of each of [***] hereunder as published in The Wall Street Journal under the heading “Foreign Exchange,” unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Parties. All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by ARS, unless otherwise specified in writing by ARS.

Taxes.

Cooperation and Coordination. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual objective and intent to minimize, to the extent feasible and in compliance with Applicable Laws, taxes payable with respect to their collaborative efforts under this Agreement and that they shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate and coordinate with each other to achieve such objective and intent. Pediatrix shall not change the country or jurisdiction from which all of its payments to ARS originate (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree is the Cayman Islands) without the prior written consent of ARS. The Parties shall cooperate to help each other obtain benefits under any applicable tax treaty, including the reduction or exemption from any withholding tax and the procurement of any available tax refunds.

Payment of Tax. Each Party shall be responsible for all taxes, fees, duties, levies or similar amounts imposed on its own income, assets, capital, employment, personnel, and right or license to do business. If Applicable Laws requires Pediatrix to withhold any taxes from payments made to ARS under this Agreement, then such taxes shall be deducted by Pediatrix as required by and shall be paid by Pediatrix to the proper tax authorities; provided that Pediatrix shall cooperate and work with ARS to complete necessary steps and procedures, or ARS shall provide the Tax Withholding Documents to Pediatrix prior to such payment to ARS for avoiding or minimizing withholding taxes. Pediatrix shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide ARS with [***] advance written notice before making any such tax deduction or withholding of the intention to make such deduction or withholding, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with any reasonable request from ARS to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. In case the Tax Withholding Documents are not available to Pediatrix at the due date of such payments to ARS or the Tax Withholding Documents provided by ARS to

Source of Payment. To the extent (i) any payment under this Agreement is triggered due to activities of an Affiliate or sublicensee of Pediatrix incorporated or established in the Pediatrix Territory, whose Applicable Laws require the withholding of taxes in relation to such payment if it were to be made from such Affiliate or sublicensee of Pediatrix to ARS, and (ii) Pediatrix receives a payment from its such Affiliate or sublicensee in relation to such activity, and such payment is reduced due to withholding taxes required by Applicable Laws to be withheld on such payment, then Pediatrix shall have the right to deduct an amount that equals to [***] percent ([***]%) of the deducted amount for withholding taxes from the payments due to ARS under this Agreement. Pediatrix shall promptly provide to ARS applicable receipts evidencing payment of such withholding taxes and other documentation reasonably requested by ARS. Upon ARS’s request, Pediatrix shall provide reasonable assistance to ARS for ARS to recover or obtain a credit in relation to any such withholding taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.2(c) only applies to withholding for income taxes and does not apply to any other taxes including but not limited to VAT or other surcharges or surtaxes. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, ARS shall not be responsible for bearing any withholding tax levied on any amount which is larger than the amount of the actual payment due to ARS from Pediatrix.

Records; Audit. Pediatrix shall keep, and shall cause its Sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records pertaining to the sale or other transfer or disposition for value of Products in sufficient detail to permit ARS to confirm the accuracy of all payments due hereunder. Such records shall be kept for such period of time required by Applicable Laws, but no less than [***] following the end of the Calendar Year to which they pertain. ARS shall have the right to cause an independent, international, certified public accounting firm [***] to Pediatrix to audit such records to confirm payments for a period covering not more than [***] following the Calendar Year [***] to which they pertain. Such audits may be exercised during normal business hours upon [***] prior written notice to Pediatrix, and except for good cause, shall not be more than [***]. Prompt adjustments shall be made by the Parties to reflect the results of such audit. ARS shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by Pediatrix of more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the total amount owed under this Agreement for the period then being audited, in which case, Pediatrix shall bear the cost of such audit and shall promptly remit to ARS the amount of any underpayment plus such audit costs plus interest (as set forth in Section 9.4 below) from the original due date. Any overpayment by Pediatrix revealed by an audit shall be credited against future payments owed by Pediatrix to ARS (and if no further payments are due, shall be refunded by ARS to Pediatrix within [***]).

Late Payments. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not paid when due in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the payment shall accrue interest from the date due at a per annum rate of [***] percent ([***]%) [***]; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest shall not limit the Party entitled to receive payment from exercising any other rights and/or remedies it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Ownership.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as between the Parties, all right, title and interest in and to any ARS Technology shall be owned solely by ARS, and all right, title and interest in and to any Pediatrix Technology shall be owned solely by Pediatrix.

All right, title, and interest in and to any inventions made, developed, conceived or reduced to practice by or on behalf of Pediatrix, its Affiliates or Sublicensees (whether solely or jointly with ARS) in the course of performance of this Agreement that are related to the Composition or Product, including Data, and any Patents and Know-How relating thereto (collectively, the “New IP”) shall be owned solely by ARS. In connection with the foregoing: (i) Pediatrix shall promptly disclose in writing to ARS all New IP, (ii) Pediatrix hereby does, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees and its and their employees and representatives to, assign and transfer to ARS all right, title, and interest in and to such New IP and agrees to take all further acts reasonably required to evidence such assignment and transfer to ARS; and (iii) such New IP shall constitute ARS Know-How or ARS Patents, as applicable, for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ARS Patents primarily derived from New IP shall not be considered ARS Patents for purposes of determining Royalty Term or royalty reductions.

Other than New IP, ownership of inventions and intellectual property rights generated by or on behalf of each Party or jointly by Parties shall follow inventorship in accordance with the patent law of the United States. Inventions made solely by either Party shall be exclusively owned by such Party. Inventions jointly made by both Parties shall be owned jointly.

All Intellectual Property owned by a Party as of the Effective Date shall continue to be owned by such Party, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall have any rights to any Intellectual Property of the other Party.

Patent Prosecution and Maintenance.

Subject to this Section 10.2(a), ARS shall have the sole right, as between ARS and Pediatrix, but not obligation, to control the preparation, filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations) and maintenance of all ARS Patents, at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice. Pediatrix shall, upon request of ARS, provide ARS with all reasonable assistance and cooperation in connection therewith. ARS shall keep Pediatrix reasonably informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of ARS Patents, including content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such ARS Patents in the Pediatrix Territory. In the event that ARS desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any ARS Patent in any region in the Pediatrix Territory (“Discontinued ARS Patent”), ARS shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Pediatrix of such intention to abandon (which notice shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than [***] prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such ARS Patent in the relevant patent office) and such Discontinued ARS Patent in such region shall not be taken into account in determining the Royalty Term or royalty reductions. Pediatrix shall, upon written notice to ARS provided no later than [***] after such notice from ARS, have the right, but not the obligation, at its cost and expense, to file, prosecute and/or maintain such Discontinued ARS Patent in the applicable region or regions in the Pediatrix Territory, at Pediatrix’s sole cost and expense, in the name of and on behalf of ARS. In such case, Pediatrix shall keep ARS regularly and reasonably informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of each of such Discontinued ARS Patents, including content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such

Subject to this Section 10.2(b), Pediatrix shall have the sole right, as between ARS and Pediatrix, but not obligation, to control the preparation, filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations) and maintenance of all Pediatrix Patents worldwide, at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice. In the event that Pediatrix desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Pediatrix Patent in any country outside the Pediatrix Territory (“Discontinued Pediatrix Patent”), Pediatrix shall provide reasonable prior written notice to ARS of such intention to abandon (which notice shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than [***] prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such Pediatrix Patent in the relevant patent office). In such case, upon ARS’s written election provided to Pediatrix no later than [***] after such notice from Pediatrix, ARS shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such Discontinued Pediatrix Patent at ARS’s sole cost and expense, in the name of and on behalf of Pediatrix. In such case, ARS shall keep Pediatrix regularly and reasonably informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of each of such Discontinued Pediatrix Patents, including content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such Discontinued Pediatrix Patents, and shall consult with, and consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of, Pediatrix with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting such Discontinued Pediatrix Patents (particularly to avoid prosecution inconsistencies with Pediatrix Patents that Pediatrix has not abandoned). If ARS does not provide such election within such [***] after such notice from Pediatrix, Pediatrix may, in its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such Pediatrix Patent or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such Pediatrix Patent. Pediatrix shall have the sole right, as between ARS and Pediatrix, but not obligation, to control the preparation, filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations) and maintenance of all Patents Controlled by Pediatrix in the Pediatrix Territory at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice.

Cooperation of the Parties. Each Party agrees to cooperate fully in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patents under Section 10.2 and in the obtaining and maintenance of any extensions, supplementary protection certificates and their equivalent with respect thereto respectively, at its own cost (except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Article 10). Such cooperation includes: (a) executing all papers and instruments, or requiring its employees or contractors, to execute such papers and instruments, reasonably requested by the other Party so as enable the other Party to apply for and to prosecute patent applications in any country as permitted by Section 10.2; and (b) promptly informing the other Party of any matters coming to such Party’s attention that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such patent applications.

Infringement by Third Parties.

Notice. In the event that either ARS or Pediatrix becomes aware of any infringement or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any ARS Patent, or any declaratory judgment or equivalent action challenging any ARS Patent in connection with any such infringement, it shall promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect. Any such notice shall include evidence to support an allegation of infringement or threatened infringement, or declaratory judgment or equivalent action, filed by such Third Party.

Response. Subject to this Section 10.4(b), [***] shall have the first right, as between ARS and Pediatrix, but not the obligation, to bring and control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement or challenge of any ARS Patent by a Third Party that is developing or commercializing a Product or Competitive Product in the Field in the Pediatrix Territory (a “Product Infringement”), [***]. In such case, [***] counsel shall reasonably cooperate with [***] and its counsel in strategizing, preparing and prosecuting any such action or proceeding in the Pediatrix Territory. When [***] becomes a party to such action in the Pediatrix Territory, [***] shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action, by counsel of [***] own choice, and [***] and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with [***] and its counsel in strategizing, preparing and prosecuting any such action or proceeding in the Pediatrix Territory. If [***] fails to bring an action or proceeding with respect to a Product Infringement of any ARS Patent in the Pediatrix Territory within (i) [***] following receipt or delivery (as applicable) of the notice of alleged infringement or (ii) [***] before the time limit, if any, set forth in the appropriate laws and regulations for the filing of such actions, whichever comes first, then following a discussion with [***] regarding the reasons why [***] did not bring such action or proceeding, which reasons [***] shall consider in good faith, [***] shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control such action or proceeding to enforce or defend the ARS Patent against the Product Infringement in the Pediatrix Territory at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and [***] shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action or proceeding by counsel of its own choice. [***] and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with [***] and its counsel in strategizing, preparing and prosecuting any such action or proceeding in the Pediatrix Territory.

Recovery. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery or damages realized as a result of such action or proceeding with respect to ARS Patents against Product Infringement shall be used first to [***], and any remaining compensatory, punitive, or other damages that were awarded in respect of Products (including awards made in respect of lost sales or lost profits with respect to Products) shall be [***].

Cooperation. In the event a Party brings an action in accordance with this Section 10.4, the other Party shall cooperate fully, including, if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party to such action.

ARS shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any action or proceeding to enforce or defend the ARS Patent against any infringement or challenge that is not a Product Infringement, [***], and shall be entitled to retain all recoveries.

Infringement of Third Party Rights. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the Manufacture, Development, use or Commercialization of any Composition or Product in the Field in the Pediatrix Territory infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of a Third Party (each an “Infringement Claim”). The notice shall set

Consent for Settlement. Neither Party shall unilaterally enter into any settlement or compromise of any action or proceeding in the Pediatrix Territory under this Article 10 that would in any manner alter, diminish, or be in derogation of the other Party’s rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of such other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Trademarks. Pediatrix may use (pursuant to this Section 10.7) the Trademarks Controlled by ARS in the Pediatrix Territory as ARS may provide to Pediatrix in writing from time to time (the “ARS Product Marks”) and may use the English mark thereof with Chinese phonetic translation below. ARS hereby grants to Pediatrix, during the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a royalty-free, exclusive license under ARS’s rights to use such ARS Product Marks in connection with the Commercialization of the Products in the Field in the Pediatrix Territory in compliance with Applicable Laws and this Agreement. Pediatrix shall comply with ARS’s brand usage guidelines provided to Pediatrix in its use of the ARS Product Marks. Pediatrix may also brand the Products in the Pediatrix Territory using other Trademarks, including Trademarks specific for the Products that differ from the ARS Product Marks and do not contain the name of ARS (the “Pediatrix Product Marks”). Subject to consultation with ARS through the JSC, Pediatrix shall be responsible for selecting, registering, prosecuting, defending, and maintaining all Pediatrix Product Marks at Pediatrix’s sole discretion, cost and expense. Pediatrix shall own all rights in the Pediatrix Product Marks in the Pediatrix Territory and shall register and maintain the Pediatrix Product Marks in the Pediatrix Territory that it determines reasonably necessary.

ARS Controlled Patents Outside the Pediatrix Territory. For clarity, ARS reserves all rights to prepare, file, prosecute (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations), maintain, defend and enforce all Patents owned or controlled by ARS related to Compositions and Products outside the Pediatrix Territory. In the event that ARS becomes aware of any infringement or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any such Patent outside the Pediatrix Territory, or any declaratory judgment or equivalent action challenging any such Patent in connection with any such infringement outside the Pediatrix Territory, ARS shall notify Pediatrix in writing to that effect.

Patents Licensed From Upstream Licensors. Each Party’s rights under this Article 10 with respect to the prosecution and enforcement of any ARS Patent that is in-licensed by ARS from Upstream Licensors under Upstream Licenses shall be subject to the rights retained by Upstream Licensors to prosecute and enforce such Patent.

Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF ARTICLE 13 AND UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM THE OTHER PARTY ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LICENSE GRANTED HEREUNDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 12.5 SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS ARTICLE 12.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidential Information. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, during the Term and for [***] thereafter, the receiving Party shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement any Confidential Information of the other (disclosing) Party under this Agreement, and both receiving Parties shall keep confidential and, subject to Sections 13.2, 13.3 and 13.5, shall not publish or otherwise disclose the terms of this Agreement. Each receiving Party may use the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to the extent required to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including exercising its rights or performing its obligations. Each receiving Party shall use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own (but no less than reasonable care) to ensure that its employees, agents, consultants, contractors and other representatives do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Each receiving Party shall promptly notify the disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. New IP shall be considered the Confidential Information of ARS, and ARS shall be considered the disclosing Party and Pediatrix the receiving Party with respect to all New IP.

Exceptions. The obligations of confidentiality and restriction on use under Section 13.1 shall not apply to any information that the receiving Party can demonstrate through contemporaneous written records: (a) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the receiving Party or its representatives, generally known or available to the public; (b) is known by the receiving Party at the time of receiving such information, other than by previous disclosure of the disclosing Party, or its Affiliates, employees, agents, or contractors; (c) is hereafter furnished to the receiving Party without restriction by a Third Party who has no obligation of confidentiality or limitations on use with respect thereto, as a matter of right; or (d) is independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing Party.

Authorized Disclosure. Each receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing Party as expressly permitted by this Agreement or if and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

filing, prosecuting, or maintaining Patents as permitted by this Agreement;

regulatory filings for Products (for Pediatrix, only in the Pediatrix Territory) that such Party has a license or right to Develop hereunder in a given country or jurisdiction;

prosecuting or defending litigation arising under this Agreement;

complying with applicable court orders or governmental regulations; and

disclosure to its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents, to ARS Collaborators (in the case of ARS) and to Sublicensees (in the case of Pediatrix), in each case on a need- to-know basis in connection with the Development and manufacture of Compositions, and Development, manufacture and Commercialization of Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case under written obligations of confidentiality and non- use at least as stringent as those herein; and

disclosure to potential and actual investors, acquirers, licensees and other financial or commercial partners solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition or collaboration in such receiving Party, in each case under written or professional obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those herein.

Publications. ARS shall have the right to review and comment on any material proposed for public disclosure or publication by Pediatrix regarding results of and other information regarding the other Pediatrix’s Development or Commercialization activities with respect to Products, whether by oral presentation, manuscript or abstract, or other means of public disclosure, and including disclosures to the investment community, if such proposed public disclosure or publication might negatively affect Development and/or Commercialization of Products outside the Pediatrix Territory. For the sake of clarity, any press release by Pediatrix shall follow the process set forth in Section 13.5 below, and not the process contained in this Section 13.4. Before any such material described in this Section 13.4 is submitted for publication or presentation of any such material is made, Pediatrix shall deliver a complete copy in the English language to ARS prior to submitting the material to a publisher or initiating any other public disclosure. ARS shall review any such material and give its comments to Pediatrix as soon as practicable. With respect to oral presentation materials and abstracts, ARS shall make reasonable efforts to expedite review of such oral presentation materials and abstracts, and shall return its comments if any, on such items as soon as practicable to Pediatrix. Pediatrix shall comply with ARS’ request to delete references to ARS’ Confidential Information in any such material and shall delay any submission for publication or other public disclosure for a period of up to an additional [***] for the purpose of preparing and filing appropriate patent applications.

Publicity; Public Disclosures. The Parties may issue an initial press release following the Effective Date. It is understood that each Party may desire or be required to issue subsequent press releases relating to this Agreement or activities hereunder. The Parties shall consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of all press releases prior to the issuance thereof, to the extent practicable, provided that a Party may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent to such press releases, and that either Party may issue such press releases or make such disclosures to the SEC or other applicable stock exchange or similar agencies as it determines, based on advice of counsel, are reasonably necessary to comply with rules of the stock exchange or Applicable Law. Each Party shall provide the other Party with advance notice of legally required disclosures to the extent practicable. The Parties shall consult with each other on the provisions of this Agreement to be redacted in any filings made by a Party with the SEC or other stock exchange or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws; provided that each Party shall have the right to make any such filing as it reasonably determines necessary under the rules of the stock exchange or Applicable Laws. In addition, following the initial press release announcing this Agreement, either Party shall be free to disclose, without the other Party’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other Party and those terms of the Agreement which have already been publicly disclosed in accordance herewith.

Prior Confidentiality Agreement. As of the Effective Date, the terms of this Article 13 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement between the Parties (or their Affiliates) relating to the subject of this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement. Any information disclosed pursuant to any such prior agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.

Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that a Party would suffer upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 13. In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 13.

TERM AND TERMINATION

Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier as provided in this Article 14 or by mutual written agreement of the Parties, shall continue, on a Product-by-Product and region-by-region basis, until the expiration of the applicable Royalty Term in the Pediatrix Territory (the “Term”). Upon expiration (but not termination) of this Agreement for a Product in a region in the Pediatrix Territory, Pediatrix’s licenses under Section 2.1 shall become perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive, fully paid-up and royalty free with respect to such Product in such region.

Termination for Cause.

Material Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice of termination delivered to the other Party, if such other Party materially breaches this Agreement and has not cured such breach within sixty (60) days (thirty (30) days with respect to any payment breach) after receipt of written notice from the non- breaching Party describing such breach and demanding its cure; provided that if such breach is not reasonably capable of cure within the above cure period, but is capable of cure within 120 days from such notice, then, provided the breaching Party submits a reasonable cure plan to remedy such breach, the above cure period shall be automatically extended for so long as the breaching Party continues to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such breach in accordance with the cure plan, but for no more than 60 additional days. If the allegedly breaching Party in good faith disputes such material breach and provides written notice of that dispute to the other Party within the applicable period set forth above, the matter shall be addressed under the dispute resolution provisions in Article 15, and the termination shall not become effective unless and until it has been determined under Article 15 that the allegedly breaching Party is in material breach of this Agreement and has failed to cure such breach within the time periods provided in this Section 14.2(a). It is understood and acknowledged that during the pendency of such a dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder.

Bankruptcy. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary insolvency petition in bankruptcy, petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its business or any substantial part of its assets, commences under the laws of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed debtors or becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type described above and such proceeding is not dismissed within [***] after the commencement thereof.

Termination for Patent Challenge. ARS shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to Pediatrix if Pediatrix or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees directly, or indirectly through any Third Party, (a) commences any interference or opposition proceeding with respect to, or opposes any extension of or the grant of a supplementary protection certificate with respect to, any ARS Patent, or (b) institutes, actively participates as an adverse party in, or otherwise provides material support to, any action, suit or other proceeding to invalidate any ARS Patent or to obtain a ruling that any claim within any ARS Patent is unenforceable or not patentable; provided, however, that ARS shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 14.3, if (i) such challenge was brought by a Sublicensee and Pediatrix has terminated such sublicense within thirty (30) days of ARS’s notice to Pediatrix under this Section 14.3, (ii) such challenge is based solely on the scope of an ARS Patent or whether a claim therein qualifies as a Valid Claim and made in defense of a breach claim first brought by ARS against Pediatrix pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) such challenge is dismissed within thirty (30) days of ARS’s notice to Pediatrix under this Section 14.3 and not thereafter continued.

Termination by Pediatrix.

Termination without Cause. Pediatrix shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or for no reason upon ninety (90) days written notice to ARS.

Effects of Termination in Certain Situations. Upon any termination of this Agreement by ARS pursuant to Section 14.2, 14.3 or the termination of this Agreement by Pediatrix pursuant to 14.4, the following shall apply:

Termination of Licenses and Other Rights. All licenses granted to Pediatrix shall automatically terminate, all other rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate except as provided in to Section 14.8, and all sublicenses under the ARS Technology granted from Pediatrix to any Sublicensee shall automatically terminate (provided that, upon the request of a Sublicensee that is not in breach of the sublicense agreement, ARS shall consider in good faith to enter into direct agreement with such Sublicensee), in each case on the effective date of termination.

Pediatrix Technology. The license granted to ARS pursuant to Section 2.3 shall continue and shall become worldwide.

Assignments. ARS shall notify Pediatrix within [***] after the effective date of termination whether it wishes to obtain the assignments set forth in this Sections 14.5(c). Except as otherwise specified below, all such assignments under Sections 14.5(c) shall be without cost to ARS.

Regulatory Filings. As promptly as practicable (and in any event within [***]) after such notice, Pediatrix shall: (A) to the extent not previously provided to ARS, deliver to ARS true, correct and complete copies of all Regulatory Filings (including Regulatory Approvals) for Products in the Field in the Pediatrix Territory, and provide to ARS all Pediatrix Know-How not previously disclosed to ARS; (B) to the extent permissible under Applicable Laws, transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred or assigned, to ARS or its designee (or to the extent not so assignable, take all reasonable actions to make available to ARS or its designee all of the benefits of) all Regulatory Filings (including Regulatory Approvals) for Products in the Field in the Pediatrix Territory, whether held in the name of Pediatrix or its Affiliate or Sublicensee; and (C) take such other actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect, evidence, register and record the transfer, assignment or other conveyance of rights under this Section 14.5(c)(i) to ARS. If the assignment of the Regulatory Filings to ARS is not permitted by Applicable Law or otherwise upon ARS’s request, [***], Pediatrix shall continue to hold any such Regulatory Filings for the sole benefit of ARS or its designee (in which case, Pediatrix shall appoint ARS or its designee as the exclusive distributor (with the right to subcontract and appoint subdistributors) under such Regulatory Filings for the Product in the Pediatrix Territory, and also as its agent to interact with the applicable Regulatory Authority in the Pediatrix Territory with respect to such Regulatory Filings), until such time ARS or its designee files its own Regulatory Filings and obtains its own Regulatory Approvals for the Product in the Pediatrix Territory, at which time Pediatrix shall terminate or withdraw its Regulatory Fillings for the Product in the Pediatrix Territory.

Trademarks. Pediatrix shall, and hereby does, effective upon such termination, assign to ARS all of Pediatrix’s and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest in and to any and all Pediatrix Product Trademarks in the Pediatrix Territory, including all goodwill therein, and Pediatrix shall promptly take such actions and execute such instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect, evidence, register and record such assignment.

Wind-Down. Pediatrix shall, as directed by ARS, either wind-down any ongoing Development activities of Pediatrix and its Sublicensees with respect to any Compositions or Products in the Field in the Pediatrix Territory in an orderly fashion or promptly transfer such Development activities to ARS or its designee, in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

Transition Assistance. Pediatrix shall, [***], provide reasonable consultation and assistance for a period of no more than [***] for the purpose of transferring or transitioning to ARS all Pediatrix Know-How not already in ARS’s possession and, at ARS’s request, all then-existing commercial arrangements relating specifically to Compositions and Products that Pediatrix is able, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, to transfer or transition to ARS, in each case, to the extent reasonably necessary or useful for ARS to commence Developing, manufacturing, or Commercializing Products in the Pediatrix Territory. The foregoing shall include transferring, upon request of ARS, any agreements with Third Party suppliers or vendors that specifically cover the supply or sale of Compositions or Products in the Pediatrix Territory. If any such contract between Pediatrix and a Third Party is not assignable to ARS (whether by such contract’s terms or because such contract does not relate specifically to Compositions or Products) but is otherwise reasonably necessary or useful for ARS to commence Developing, manufacturing, or Commercializing Products in the Pediatrix Territory, or if Pediatrix manufactures the Product itself (and thus there is no contract to assign), then at ARS’s cost, Pediatrix shall reasonably cooperate with ARS to negotiate for the continuation of services or supply from such entity, or Pediatrix shall supply such Composition or Product, as applicable, to ARS for a reasonable period (not to exceed [***]) until ARS establishes an alternate, validated source of such services or supply of finished, packaged, labeled Product for the Pediatrix Territory. Such supply shall be at a price equal to [***]% [***], with such cost calculated as [***].

Remaining Inventories. Pediatrix shall have the right, for a period of [***] following termination of this Agreement, to sell or otherwise dispose of any Products, as applicable, on hand at the time of such termination or in the process of Manufacturing; provided that Pediatrix continue to pay royalty to ARS on the sale of such Products. Thereafter, at ARS’s election and request, Pediatrix shall transfer to ARS or its designee some or all inventory of Compositions and Products then in the possession or control of Pediatrix, its Affiliates or sublicensees, at a price equal to [***], with such cost calculated as described [***].

Effects of Termination by Pediatrix. If Pediatrix terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2:

Sections 14.5(a), 14.5(c)-14.5(f) shall apply, provided that, [***] shall reimburse all internal (at a fully-burdened rate) and external costs incurred by [***] to conduct activities under 14.5(c)-14.5(f), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in 14.5(c)-14.5(f).

The license granted to ARS pursuant to Section 2.3 shall continue outside the Pediatrix Territory. Upon ARS’s request, Pediatrix shall negotiate in good faith with ARS the terms and conditions to expand such license to the Pediatrix Territory.

Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety, except to the extent that a receiving Party obtains or retains the right to use the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, each receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party, or delete or destroy, all relevant records and materials in such receiving Party’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of the disclosing Party; provided that such receiving Party may keep one copy of such materials for archival purposes only subject to continuing confidentiality obligations. All Pediatrix Know-How assigned to ARS after the termination of this Agreement as set forth in Section 14.5 and 14.6(a) shall be deemed ARS’s Confidential Information and no longer Pediatrix’s Confidential Information.

Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation or right accruing prior to such expiration or termination. Except as set forth below or elsewhere in this Agreement, the obligations and rights of the Parties under the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement: Article 1(Definitions), Article 8 (Fees and Payments) (solely to the extent payments have accrued prior to the effective date of termination), Article 9 (Payments; Records; Audits) (solely to the extent payments have accrued prior to the effective date of termination), Article 12 (Indemnification)(excluding Section 12.4 (Insurance)), Article 13 (Confidentiality), Article 15 (Dispute Resolution), Article 16 (General Provisions), Section 10.1 (Ownership), Section 11.5 (Disclaimer), Section 14.1 (Term) (which shall survive only with respect to licenses that have become perpetual and irrevocable prior to the expiration or early termination of this Agreement), and Section 14.5 (Effects of Termination in Certain Situations) through Section 14.11 (Rights in Bankruptcy) (as applicable).

Exercise of Right to Terminate. The use by either Party hereto of a termination right provided for under this Agreement shall not give rise to the payment of damages or any other form of compensation or relief to the other Party with respect thereto; provided, however, that termination of this Agreement shall not preclude either Party from claiming any other damages, compensation or relief that it may be entitled to upon such termination.

Damages; Relief. Subject to Section 14.8, termination of this Agreement shall not preclude either Party from claiming any other damages, compensation or relief that it may be entitled to upon such termination.

Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by one Party to the other Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws. A Party that is a licensee of such rights under this Agreement shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws. In the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party to this Agreement under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws, the other Party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property that are necessary for use and exploitation of such other Party’s licenses and rights hereunder, and same, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding upon its written request therefor, unless the bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered under (a) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the bankrupt Party upon written request therefor by the other Party. In the event where any Third Party other than the bankrupt Party (including but not limited to CMO) owns or possesses a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property that are necessary for use and exploitation of such other Party’s licenses and rights hereunder, and same, the bankrupt Party shall procure such Third Party to deliver such complete duplicate to the other Party, upon such other Party’s written request.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Objective. The Parties recognize that disputes as to matters (i) arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or (ii) either Party’s rights and obligations hereunder may arise from time to time. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of such disputes in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 15 to resolve any such dispute if and when it arises.

Resolution by Executive Officers. Except as otherwise provided in Article 3, if an unresolved dispute as to matters arising under or relating to this Agreement or either Party’s rights and obligations hereunder arises, either Party may refer such dispute to the Executive Officers, who shall meet in person or by telephone within [***] after such referral to attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. If such matter cannot be resolved by discussion of such Executive Officers within such [***] period (as may be extended by mutual written agreement), such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15.3.

Arbitration.

If the Parties do not resolve a dispute as provided in Section 15.2, and a Party wishes to pursue the matter, each such dispute that is not an Excluded Claim (defined below) shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) as then in effect (the “ICC Rules”), which ICC Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause, using the laws of the State of New York. The arbitration award rendered in any such arbitration shall be final and not appealable and may be executed by any court of competent jurisdiction. If either Party intends to commence binding arbitration of such dispute, such Party shall provide written notice to the other Party informing the other Party of such intention and the issues to be resolved. Within [***] after the receipt of such notice, the other Party may, by written notice to the Party initiating binding arbitration, add additional issues to be resolved.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of [***] appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules, none of whom shall be a current or former employee or director, or a then-current stockholder, of either Party, their respective Affiliates or any Sublicensee. The place of arbitration shall be New York City, NY, and all proceedings and communications shall be in English.

It is the intention of the Parties that discovery, although permitted as described herein, shall be limited except in exceptional circumstances. The arbitrators shall permit such limited discovery necessary for an understanding of any legitimate issue raised in the arbitration, including the production of documents. No later than [***] after selection of the arbitrators, the Parties and their representatives shall hold a preliminary meeting with the arbitrators, to mutually agree upon and thereafter follow procedures seeking to assure that the arbitration shall be concluded within [***] from such meeting. Failing any such mutual agreement, the arbitrators shall design and the Parties shall follow procedures to such effect.

Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other non- compensatory damages. The award shall be in writing and shall describe the basis for the award and the arbitrators’ decision(s). The arbitrators shall have the power to order that all or part of the legal or other costs incurred by a Party in connection with the arbitration be paid by the other Party. Each Party shall bear an equal share of the arbitrators’ and any administrative fees of arbitration.

Except to the extent necessary to confirm or enforce an award or as may be required by Applicable Law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. In no event shall an arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

As used in this Section, the term “Excluded Claim” means a dispute, controversy or claim that concerns (i) the validity, enforceability or infringement of a patent, trademark or copyright or (ii) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Governing Law. This Agreement, and all questions regarding the existence, validity, interpretation, breach or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States, without reference to its conflicts of law principles. The application of the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) is excluded.

Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement is both a final expression of the Parties’ agreement and a complete and exclusive statement with respect to all of its terms. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and communications, whether oral, written or otherwise, concerning any and all matters contained herein. This Agreement may only be modified or supplemented in a writing expressly stated for such purpose and signed by the Parties to this Agreement.

Relationship Between the Parties. The Parties’ relationship, as established by this Agreement, is solely that of independent contractors. This Agreement does not create any partnership, joint venture or similar business relationship between the Parties. Neither Party is a legal representative of the other Party, and neither Party can assume or create any obligation, representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever.

Non-Waiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance. Any waiver by a Party of a particular provision or right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and shall be signed by such Party.

Assignment. Except as expressly provided hereunder, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations of a Party hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that either Party may, upon the prior notice to the other Party, assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement in its entirety without the other Party’s consent:

in connection with the transfer or sale to a Third Party of all or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party relating to Products, whether by merger, consolidation, divesture, restructure, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise, provided that in the event of any such transaction (whether this Agreement is actually assigned or is assumed by the acquiring Party by operation of law (e.g., in the context of a reverse triangular merger)), intellectual property rights of the acquiring party to such transaction (if other than one of the Parties to this Agreement) prior to the closing of such transaction or developed or acquired by the acquiring party thereafter independent of this Agreement shall not be included in the technology licensed hereunder; or

to an Affiliate, provided that the assigning Party shall remain liable and responsible to the non-assigning Party hereto for the performance and observance of all such duties and obligations by such Affiliate.

Performance by Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any right hereunder through any of its Affiliates and each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, without sublicense or assignment, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by such Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party (or such Affiliate) without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate (or such Party).

Severability. If, for any reason, any part of this Agreement is adjudicated invalid, unenforceable or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not, to the extent feasible, affect or impair, in whole or in part, the validity, enforceability, or legality of any remaining portions of this Agreement. All remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect as if the original Agreement had been executed without the invalidated, unenforceable or illegal part.

Notices. Any notice to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and delivered either in person, or by (a) air mail (postage prepaid) requiring return receipt, (b) overnight courier, or (c) facsimile or electronic mail (with written confirmation of the recipient) thereafter by any of the foregoing, to the Party to be notified at its address(es) given below, or at any address such Party may designate by prior written notice to the other in accordance with this Section 16.8. Notice shall

Force Majeure. Each Party shall be excused from liability for the failure or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement (other than failure to make payment when due, except that the force majeure event itself prevents the making of such payment) by reason of any event beyond such Party’s reasonable control including but not limited to Acts of God, fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, epidemic, pandemic or related government orders, or other natural forces, war, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, accident, destruction or other casualty, or any other event similar to those enumerated above. Such excuse from liability shall be effective only to the extent and duration of the event(s) causing the failure or delay in performance and provided that the affected Party has not directly or indirectly caused such event(s) to occur. Notice of a Party’s failure or delay in performance due to force majeure must be given in writing to the other Party within [***] after its occurrence. All delivery dates under this Agreement that have been affected by force majeure shall be tolled for the duration of such force majeure, provided the affected Party shall promptly undertake and continue to undertake all reasonable efforts necessary to cure such force majeure or to perform its obligations despite the ongoing force majeure. In no event shall any Party be required to prevent or settle any labor disturbance or labor dispute.
