ACCOUNTING; RECORDS; METHOD OF PAYMENT

6.1Royalty Reports; Payments, Invoices. After the first sale of a Licensed Product on which royalties are payable by Unity hereunder, Unity shall make quarterly written reports to Ascentage within [***] ([***]) days after the end of each calendar quarter, stating in each such report the number, description, and aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Product sold during the calendar quarter upon which a royalty is payable under Article 5 above.

Ascentage shall have the right to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Unity to audit such records to confirm gross sales, Net Sales and royalty payments for a period covering not more than the preceding [***] ([***]) years. Unity agrees to either: (a) require each of its Third Party Sublicensees to maintain similar books and records and to open such records for inspection by an independent, certified public accountant reasonably satisfactory to such Third Party Sublicensee, on behalf of, and as required by, Ascentage for the purpose of verifying payments hereunder, or (b) obtain such audits rights from the Third Party Sublicensee for itself and exercise such audit rights on behalf of Ascentage upon Ascentage’s request and disclose the results thereof to Ascentage. All such inspections may be made no more than [***] each calendar year at reasonable times and on reasonable notice. No accounting period of Unity or its Affiliate or Third Party Sublicensee shall be subject to audit more than one time hereunder. Such independent, certified public accountant will be obliged to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing any such inspection. The results of any inspection hereunder shall be provided to both Parties, and Unity shall pay any underpayment to Ascentage within [***] ([***]) days. Inspections conducted under this Section 6.2 shall be at the expense of Ascentage (and Ascentage will reimburse Unity’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of those inspections conducted by Unity at Ascentage’s request under (b) above), unless a variation or error producing an increase exceeding [***] percent ([***]%) of the amount stated for any period is established in the course of any such inspection, whereupon all costs of such audit of such period will be paid by Unity.

6.3Payment Method. All payments due hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars, and shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Ascentage in a written notice to Unity. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection

This Section 6.4 shall in no way limit any other remedies available to any Party.

Any remainder shall, to the extent the same pertains to an infringing activity that involves the manufacture, use or sale by a Third Party of any Competitive Product, be treated as Net Sales.

7.2.2In the event Unity elects not to initiate an Enforcement Action with respect to any commercially significant infringing activity that involves the manufacture, use or sale by a Third Party of any Competitive Product within [***] ([***]) days of a request by Ascentage to do so ([***]), Ascentage may initiate such action at its expense.

Upon the request of, and at the expense of, the Enforcing Party, the non-Enforcing Party shall make available at reasonable times and under appropriate conditions all relevant personnel, records, papers, information, samples, specimens and other similar materials in its possession.

(a)Was already known to the receiving party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure;

(b)Was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving party;

such information at least as diligent as such party would use to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts.

9.3Nondisclosure of Terms. Each of the parties hereto agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that a party may disclose the terms of this Agreement without such consent to such party’s attorneys and advisors, to Third Parties in connection with due diligence or similar investigations, to potential Third Party investors, and others on a need to know basis, in each case under terms of confidentiality that are appropriate for the circumstances, or to the extent required by law.

Article 10
INDEMNIFICATION

10.1Unity. Unity agrees to indemnify and defend Ascentage and its directors, officers, employees, agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Ascentage Indemnitees”) against any losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ and professional fees and other expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Liabilities”) arising, directly or indirectly out of or in connection with Third Party claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments, to the extent (a) relating to Licensed Products developed, manufactured, used, sold or otherwise distributed by or on behalf of Unity, its Affiliates, sublicensees or other designees (excluding Ascentage, its Affiliates and licensees) including, without limitation, product liability and patent infringement claims, or (b) resulting from a breach by Unity of its representations and warranties under this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent such Liabilities result from the negligence or intentional misconduct of Ascentage or Ascentage’s breach of its representations and warranties under this Agreement, including without limitation its product warranties under Section 1.13 of Schedule 4.1.

***Certain information contained herein has been omitted pursuant to Regulation S-K 601(b)(10).

Confidential treatment has been granted with respect to the omitted portions.

10.2Ascentage. Ascentage agrees to indemnify and defend Unity and its directors, officers, employees, agents and their respective heirs and assigns (the “Unity Indemnitees”) against any Liabilities arising, directly or indirectly out of or in connection with Third Party claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments, to the extent resulting from a breach by Ascentage of its representations and warranties under this Agreement, including without limitation its product warranties under Section 1.13 of Schedule 4.1, except, in each case, to the extent such Liabilities result from the negligence or intentional misconduct of Unity or Unity’s breach of its representations and warranties under this Agreement.

10.3Procedure. In the event that any party intends to claim indemnification under this Article 10 (each such party, an “Indemnitee”) it shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of such alleged Liability. The indemnifying Party shall have the right to control the defense thereof with counsel of its choice as long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee; provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense, for any reason, including if representation of any Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other Party reasonably represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee regularly informed of the status of the defense of any action, claim or liability covered by this Article 10 and shall take into consideration the Indemnitee’s reasonable comments thereon. The affected Indemnitee shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action, claim or liability covered by this Article 10. The Indemnitee shall not compromise or settle any claim or suit, or voluntarily incur any expense with respect to any such claim or suit, in each case, without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, which such Party shall not be required to give. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying Party within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to any action, claim or liability covered by this Article 10, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve the indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article 10.

Unity’s license with respect to the Licensed Technology shall survive the expiration (but not an earlier termination) of this Agreement, provided that such license shall thereafter become nonexclusive and fully paid-up.

12.2Termination for Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement in the event that the other Party shall have materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder, and such breach or default shall have continued for sixty (60) days after written notice of such breach and intent to terminate this Agreement therefor was provided to the breaching Party by the nonbreaching Party. Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such sixty (60) day period unless the breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day period.

From and after the effective date of a termination under this Section 12.3 with respect to a particular Patent in a particular country, such Patent shall cease to be within the Licensed Patents for all purposes of this Agreement, and all rights and obligations of Unity with respect to such Patent(s) shall terminate.

Expiration or any termination of this Agreement shall not release either Party hereto from any liability which at the time of such expiration or termination has already accrued to such Party or which is attributable to a period prior to such expiration or termination, subject to the terms of this Agreement, nor preclude either Party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity which accrued to it prior to such expiration or termination, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

12.4.2Sales of Existing Inventory of Licensed Product. In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason with respect to a Licensed Product after the first approval of an MAA for such Licensed Product, Unity shall provide Ascentage with a written inventory of all quantities of such Licensed Product that Unity and its Affiliates have in stock and, for a period of [***] ([***]) [***] after such termination, Unity and its Affiliates shall have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of such Licensed Product, all subject to the payment to Ascentage of royalties pursuant to Article 5 hereof.

For clarity, in the event that a Third Party Sublicensee fails to pay to Ascentage the applicable milestones and royalties due to Ascentage based on such Third Party Sublicensee’s activities, Ascentage shall be entitled to terminate such surviving sublicense by providing such Third Party Sublicensee written notice of termination, which notice shall take effect [***] ([***]) days after it is received by such Third Party Sublicensee unless such Third Party Sublicensee has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of the [***] ([***]) day period.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, AND A LOCK-UP PERIOD IN THE EVENT OF A PUBLIC OFFERING HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND LOCK-UP PERIOD ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

B.Stop-Transfer Notices. Grantee agree that to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

C.Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any acquirer or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

D.Lock-Up Period. Grantee hereby agree that Grantee shall not sell, offer, pledge, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or encumber, directly or indirectly, any Shares or other securities of the Company, nor shall Grantee enter into any swap,

hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Shares or other securities of the Company, during the period from the filing of the first registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), that includes securities to be sold on behalf of the Company to the public in an underwritten public offering under the Securities Act through the end of the 180-day period following the effective date of such registration statement (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto). The obligations described in this section shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. Grantee further agree, if so requested by the Company or any representative of its underwriters, to enter into such underwriter’s standard form of “lockup” or “market standoff” agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of any such restriction period.

4.Company’s Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares acquired by the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement (or any beneficial interest in such Shares) may be sold, transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Grantee or any subsequent transferee (each a “Holder”), such Holder must first offer such Shares or beneficial interest to the Company and/or its assignee(s) as follows:

A.Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer the Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed transferee; (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each proposed transferee; (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Shares; and (v) that by delivering the notice, the Holder offers all such Shares to the Company and/or its assignee(s) pursuant to this section and on the same terms described in the notice.

B.Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within 30 days after receipt of the Holder’s notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the proposed transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with Section 4.C.

C.Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Shares purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) under this section shall be the price listed in the Holder’s notice. If the price listed in the Holder’s notice includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole discretion.

D.Payment. Payment of the purchase price shall be made, at the option of the Company and/or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any

***Certain information contained herein has been omitted pursuant to Regulation S-K 601(b)(10).

Confidential treatment has been granted with respect to the omitted portions.

outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company and/or its assignee(s), or by any combination thereof within 30 days after receipt by the Company of the Holder’s notice (or at such later date as is called for by such notice).

E.Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the notice to be transferred to a given proposed transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this section, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that proposed transferee; provided that: (i) the transfer is made only on the terms provided for in the notice, with the exception of the purchase price, which may be either the price listed in the notice or any higher price; (ii) such transfer is consummated within 60 days after the date the notice is delivered to the Company; (iii) the transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws, and if requested by the Company, the Holder shall have delivered an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to that effect; and (iv) the proposed transferee agrees in writing to receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to this section, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this section. If any Shares described in a notice are not transferred to the proposed transferee within the period provided above, then before any such Shares may be transferred, a new notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the right of first refusal described in this section.

F.Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this section, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during the Holder’s lifetime or on the Holder’s death by will or intestacy to (i) the Holder’s spouse; (ii) the Holder’s lineal descendants or antecedents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews (including adoptive relationships and step relationships), and their spouses; (iii) the lineal descendants or antecedents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews of Holder’s spouse (including adoptive relationships and step relationships), and their spouses; and (iv) a trust or other similar estate planning vehicle for the benefit of the Holder or any such person, shall be exempt from the provisions of this section; provided that, in each such case, the transferee agrees in writing to receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to this section, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this section; and provided further, that without the prior written consent of the Company, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Company, no more than three transfers may be made pursuant to this section, including all transfers by the Holder and all transfers by any transferee.

G.Termination of Right of First Refusal. The right of first refusal contained in this section shall terminate as to all Shares acquired hereunder upon the earlier of: (i) the closing date of the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, and (ii) the closing date of a Change of Control pursuant to which the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Company receive securities of a class registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” means either: (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation or stock transfer, but excluding any such transaction effected primarily for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company),

***Certain information contained herein has been omitted pursuant to Regulation S-K 601(b)(10).

Confidential treatment has been granted with respect to the omitted portions.

unless the Company’s stockholders of record immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions hold, immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity (provided that the sale by the Company of its securities for the purposes of raising additional funds shall not constitute a Change of Control hereunder); or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

5.General Provisions.

A.Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of California.

G.Grantee Investment Representations and Further Documents. The Grantee agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or reasonably desirable in the view of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement, including (but not limited to) the applicable exhibits and attachments to this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

GRANTEE	:	ASCENTAGE PHARMA GROUP CORP. LTD.
COMPANY	:	UNITY BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC.
SECURITY	:	COMMON STOCK
AMOUNT	:	[●] SHARES
DATE	:	[●]

In connection with the acquisition of the above-listed shares, I, each of the undersigned, represent to the Company as follows:

1.The Company may rely on these representations. I understand that the Company’s sale of the shares to me has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), because the Company believes, relying in part on my representations in this document, that an exemption from such registration requirement is available for such sale. I understand that the availability of this exemption depends upon the representations I am making to the Company in this document being true and correct.

2.I am purchasing for investment. I am purchasing the shares solely for investment purposes, and not for further distribution. My entire legal and beneficial ownership interest in the shares is being acquired and shall be held solely for my account, except to the extent I intend to hold the shares jointly with my spouse. I am not a party to, and do not presently intend to enter into, any contract or other arrangement with any other person or entity involving the resale, transfer, grant of participation with respect to or other distribution of any of the shares. My investment intent is not limited to my present intention to hold the shares for the minimum capital gains period specified under any applicable tax law, for a deferred sale, for a specified increase or decrease in the market price of the shares, or for any other fixed period in the future.

3.I can protect my own interests. I can properly evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the shares and can protect my own interests in this regard, whether by reason of my own business and financial expertise, the business and financial expertise of certain professional advisors unaffiliated with the Company with whom I have consulted, or my preexisting business or personal relationship with the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons.

4.I am informed about the Company. I am sufficiently aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the shares. I have had opportunity to discuss the plans, operations and financial condition

***Certain information contained herein has been omitted pursuant to Regulation S-K 601(b)(10).

Confidential treatment has been granted with respect to the omitted portions.

of the Company with its officers, directors or controlling persons, and have received all information I deem appropriate for assessing the risk of an investment in the shares.

5.I recognize my economic risk. I realize that the acquisition of the shares involves a high degree of risk, and that the Company’s future prospects are uncertain. I am able to hold the shares indefinitely if required, and am able to bear the loss of my entire investment in the shares.

6.I know that the shares are restricted securities. I understand that the shares are “restricted securities” in that the Company’s sale of the shares to me has not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption for non-public offerings. In this regard, I also understand and agree that:

A.I must hold the shares indefinitely, unless any subsequent proposed resale by me is registered under the Securities Act, or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available (such as Rule 144);

B.the Company is under no obligation to register any subsequent proposed resale of the shares by me; and

C.the certificate evidencing the shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the shares unless such transfer is registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.

7.I am familiar with Rule 144. I am familiar with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act, which in some circumstances permits limited public resales of “restricted securities” like the shares acquired from an issuer in a non-public offering. I understand that my ability to sell the shares under Rule 144 in the future is uncertain, and may depend upon, among other things: (i) the availability of certain current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale occurring more than a specified period after my acquisition and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the shares; and (iii) if I am an affiliate of the Company (A) the sale being made in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction”, transactions directly with a market maker or riskless principal transactions, as those terms are defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (B) the amount of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated in Rule 144, and (C) timely filing of a notice of proposed sale on Form 144, if applicable.

8.I know that Rule 144 may never be available. I understand that the requirements of Rule 144 may never be met, and that the shares may never be saleable under the rule. I further understand that at the time I wish to sell the shares, there may be no public market for the Company’s stock upon which to make such a sale, or the current public information requirements of Rule 144 may not be satisfied, either of which may preclude me from selling the shares under Rule 144 even if the relevant holding period had been satisfied.

9.I know that I am subject to further restrictions on resale. I understand that in the event Rule 144 is not available to me, any future proposed sale of any of the shares by me will not be possible without prior registration under the Securities Act, compliance with some other registration exemption (which may or may not be available), or each of the following: (i) my written notice to the Company containing detailed information regarding the proposed sale, (ii)

***Certain information contained herein has been omitted pursuant to Regulation S-K 601(b)(10).

Confidential treatment has been granted with respect to the omitted portions.

my providing an opinion of my counsel to the effect that such sale will not require registration, and (iii) the Company notifying me in writing that its counsel concurs in such opinion. I understand that neither the Company nor its counsel is obligated to provide me with any such opinion. I understand that although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has stated that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.

10.I know that I may have tax liability due to the uncertain value of the shares. I understand that the Board of Directors believes its valuation of the shares represents a fair appraisal of their worth, but that it remains possible that, with the benefit of hindsight, the Internal Revenue Service may successfully assert that the value of the shares on the date of my acquisition is substantially greater than the Board’s appraisal. I understand that any additional value ascribed to the shares by such an IRS determination will constitute ordinary income to me as of the acquisition date, and that any additional taxes and interest due as a result will be my sole responsibility payable only by me, and that the Company need not and will not reimburse me for that tax liability.

11.Non-U.S. Investor. If I am not a United States person, I hereby represents that I am satisfied as to the full observance of the laws of my jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to receive the shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement, or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within my jurisdiction for the acquisition of the shares pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such receipt or transfer, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of such securities. My subscription for, and my continued beneficial ownership of the shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of my jurisdiction.

12.Principal Place of Business. The address of my principal place of business is set forth on the signature page below.

By signing below, the undersigned acknowledge their agreement with each of the statements contained in this Investment Representation Statement as of the date first set forth above, and their intent for the Company to rely on such statements in issuing the shares to me.
