• Exercise of the Option Each Research Organisation receiving a substantial contribution as referred to under Section 8.5 shall promptly disclose in confidence to the Project Coordinator any Foreground conceived by it in connection with its Activities under the Project. The Project Coordinator shall notify the Industrial Partner(s) with an Option on the Foreground conceived. The Industrial Partner(s) may exercise the Option at any time until the earlier of (i) [1 (one) month] after the date of disclosure by the Project Coordinator or (ii) the completion of the Project, after which period the Option will lapse. An Option may be exercised on one or more occasions in respect of the Foreground that is subject to a separate Option. The Option shall be deemed to be declined in respect of the Industrial Partner that has not informed the Research Organisation owning (part of) such Foreground within the aforesaid term. If the Option is exercised, the Industrial Partner(s) and Research Organisation shall negotiate in good faith for a period of up to 90 (ninety) calendar days, or such longer period as may be agreed upon between the Participants, all necessary commercial arrangements taking into account the stage of development and the relative contribution of the Research Organisation to the Foreground and subject to the minimum conditions set out in Section 8.7. If the Participants fail to reach agreement, the Option shall lapse, and the Research Organisation shall be free to exploit the Foreground. Minimum conditions. Any transfer or license agreement as referred to in Section 8.5 shall at a minimum contain the following conditions: the Industrial Partner(s) shall pay the Research Organisation a fair and reasonable market price in respect of access to or assignment of ownership of the (joint) Foreground. The Industrial Partner(s) is entitled to deduct an amount from the fair market price equal to the value of its contribution under the Project as set out in the Budget; in the case of a license, an anti-shelving clause for the Industrial Partner (i.e. use of commercially reasonable efforts to effectively commercialise or apply the Foreground); a non-exclusive license for the Research Organisation for the use of the Foreground for academic research and teaching purposes; an indemnification obligation by the Industrial Partner to the Research Organisation against any third Participant claims for damages resulting from the use of the Foreground; a warranty from the Industrial Partner(s) to respect the Access Rights of the other Participants granted under this Consortium Agreement with respect to the Foreground pursuant to Section 9.3, including a warranty that these Access Rights will not be affected by a subsequent transfer or license of the Foreground.

• Exercise Terms The Optionee must exercise the Option for at least the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares of Stock as to which the Option remains unexercised but exercisable. If this Option is not exercised with respect to all or any part of the shares subject to this Option prior to its expiration, the shares with respect to which this Option was not exercised shall no longer be subject to this Option.

• NONTRANSFERABILITY OF THE OPTION The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative and may not be assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Following the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 7, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

• Termination of the Option The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised after the first to occur of (a) the close of business on the Option Expiration Date, (b) the close of business on the last date for exercising the Option following termination of the Participant’s Service as described in Section 7, or (c) a Change in Control to the extent provided in Section 8.

• Stock Option Exercise Agreement To exercise this Option, Participant (or in the case of exercise after Participant’s death or incapacity, Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed stock option exercise agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or in such other form as may be approved by the Committee from time to time (the “Exercise Agreement”), which shall set forth, inter alia, (i) Participant’s election to exercise the Option, (ii) the number of Shares being purchased, (iii) any restrictions imposed on the Shares and (iv) any representations, warranties and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. If someone other than Participant exercises the Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise the Option and such person shall be subject to all of the restrictions contained herein as if such person were the Participant.
