CONFIDENTIAL

d. conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise any license or rights under any intellectual property rights of Mount Sinai other than Licensed Patents, as and to the extent expressly set forth herein.

7.5 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Mount Sinai’s aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to the maximum amount of all payments made by MSGI to Mount Sinai pursuant to Article 3 hereof during the full Calendar Year during which MSGI paid to Mount Sinai the highest aggregate amount pursuant to that Article 3.

8. INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnification. MSGI will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Mount Sinai, and its trustees, officers, faculty, agents, employees and students (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties, including attorneys’ fees and related costs (collectively, “Liabilities”), caused in whole or in part by:

a. any [***] of MSGI, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, or of any of the officers, directors, employees or agents of any of the foregoing, in connection with [***], and/or

b. the enforcement of this Article by any Indemnified Party;

except in each case to the extent such Liabilities result solely from the [***] of an Indemnified Party. For clarity, Liabilities under this Section include, but are not limited to, Liabilities arising out of, resulting from, or caused by: (i) the [***] by MSGI or its Sublicensees, Affiliates, assignees, vendors or Third Parties; or (ii) a failure to perform under this Agreement or any Sublicense [***], or (iii) a claim (excluding claims based on [***]) by [***], or [***]; or (iv) [***] of MSGI, its Affiliates, Sublicensees, assignees, vendors or associated Third Parties relating to [***], such as claims by or on behalf of a [***].

8.2 Indemnification Procedure. An Indemnified Party will promptly provide MSGI with written notice of any Liability that is indemnifiable under this Article; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve MSGI of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent of any material prejudice to MSGI as a direct result of such failure. Provided that MSGI can demonstrate sufficient financial and legal resources, MSGI shall control such defense and all negotiations relative to the settlement of any indemnifiable claim or action, except that MSGI shall not settle or compromise any claim or action in any manner that may impose restrictions or obligations on any Indemnified Party, or that grants any rights to the Licensed Patents or Licensed Products, without Mount Sinai’s prior written consent. If MSGI fails or declines to assume the defense against any claim or action within thirty (30) days after notice thereof, then Mount Sinai may assume and control the defense of such claim or action for the account and at the risk of MSGI, and any Liabilities related to such claim or action will be conclusively deemed a liability of MSGI. The indemnification rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article 0 are in addition to all other rights that an Indemnified Party may have at law, in equity or otherwise.

Mount Sinai may review periodically the adequacy of the minimum amounts of insurance for each type of coverage required by this Article 9, and Mount Sinai reserves the right to reasonably require MSGI to adjust the limits accordingly. The required minimum amounts of insurance do not constitute a limitation on MSGI’s liability or indemnification obligations to Mount Sinai under this Agreement.

9.2 Other Requirements. Any policies of insurance required by Section 9.1 above will be issued by an insurance carrier with an A.M. Best rating of “A” or better and will name Mount Sinai as an additional insured, on a primary and non-contributory basis, with respect to MSGI’s performance under this Agreement.

Each certificate will provide that the insurance carrier will notify Mount Sinai in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation or material change in coverage.

10.2 Termination by Mount Sinai. If MSGI should: (i) [***] (including if MSGI should [***]); (ii) seek voluntary bankruptcy protection, or have an involuntary bankruptcy action filed against it that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or (iii) enter into a composition with creditors, or have a receiver appointed for it; then Mount Sinai may give written notice of such default to MSGI.

10.4 Cessation of [***]. If MSGI shall cease to [***], this Agreement shall terminate upon thirty (30) days written notice by Mount Sinai.

Pursuant to SEC Release 34-85381, certain identified information has been excluded from this Exhibit because it is (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.			14

CONFIDENTIAL

In the event that MSGI shall, however, challenge the validity or enforceability of any of the Licensed Patents, or otherwise indicate the payment of any royalty due under this Agreement is made under protest, MSGI agrees that Mount Sinai shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement immediately upon providing written notice of the same to MSGI.

11. EFFECT OF TERMINATION

11.1 Continuing Obligations. Any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof shall not relieve MSGI of any monetary obligation or any other obligation or liability accrued hereunder, nor shall it rescind or give rise to any right to rescind any payments made or other consideration given to Mount Sinai hereunder prior to the time such termination becomes effective. Such termination shall not affect in any manner any rights of Mount Sinai arising under this Agreement prior to the date of such termination. MSGI shall pay all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Mount Sinai in enforcing any obligation of MSGI or accrued right of Mount Sinai

In addition to any provision which by its terms contemplates performance after the Term, the following provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement: Articles 1 (Definitions), 3 (Fees, Royalties, Milestones, and Payments), 4.9 (Records and Audit Rights), 5 (Confidentiality; Publicity; Use of Name), 7 (Representations; Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liabilities), 8 (Indemnification), 9 (Insurance), 11 (Effect of Termination), and 12 (Additional Provisions).

11.3 Licensed Product on Hand. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement by either Party, MSGI shall provide Mount Sinai with a written inventory of all Licensed Products in process of manufacture, in use, or in stock. MSGI may dispose of any such Licensed Products within the ninety (90) day period following such expiration or termination; provided, however, that MSGI shall pay royalties and render reports to Mount Sinai thereon in the manner specified herein.

12. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create an agency, partnership or joint venture between the Parties. At no time will either Party make commitments or incur any charges or expenses for or on behalf of the other Party.

12.2 Compliance with Laws. MSGI must comply with all prevailing laws, rules and regulations that apply to its activities or obligations under this Agreement. For example, MSGI will comply with applicable United States export laws and regulations. The transfer of certain technical data and commodities may require a license from the applicable agency of the United States government and/or written assurances by MSGI that MSGI will not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without prior approval of the agency. Mount Sinai does not represent that no license is required, or that, if required, the license will issue.

12.3 Marking. MSGI shall, and agrees to require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, comply with any marking requirements of the intellectual property laws of the applicable countries in the Territory to the extent any failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the Licensed Patents or any Licensed Product, or either Party’s ability to avail itself of all

12.4 Modification, Waiver and Remedies. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment that is executed by an authorized representative of each Party. Any waiver must be express and in writing. No waiver by either Party of a breach by the other Party will constitute a waiver of any different or succeeding breach. Unless otherwise specified, all remedies are cumulative.

12.5 Assignment. MSGI may not assign this Agreement or any part of it, either directly or by merger or operation of law, without the prior written consent of Mount Sinai. Any such assignment will be valid only if: (a) at least thirty (30) days before the closing of the proposed transaction, MSGI has given Mount Sinai written notice and such background information as may be reasonably necessary to enable Mount Sinai to give an informed consent; and (b) the assignee agrees in writing to be legally bound by this Agreement. Any permitted assignment will not relieve MSGI of responsibility for performance of any obligation of MSGI that has accrued at the time of the assignment. Any assignment granted contrary to this provision will be null and void.

Neither Party will be responsible for nonperformance caused by forces beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including fire, explosion, natural disaster, war (whether declared or not), act of terrorism, strike, or riot, provided that the nonperforming Party uses reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and continues performance under this Agreement with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed, and notifies the other Party of such cause as promptly as is reasonably practical given the circumstances.

Exhibit C

Calculation of Running Royalties

a) Total Royalties. For Licensed Products or Licensed Processes performed or sold by MSGI, “Total Royalties” shall be determined as follows, on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis within the Territory: (i) [***] U.S. dollar ($[***]) per [***] (including a [***]) by MSGI that is covered by [***] Valid Claims with respect to the [***], per [***] upon [***], prior to the issuance in the applicable jurisdiction of the first Patent with such a Valid Claim; and (ii) [***] U.S. dollars ($[***]) per [***] (including a [***] conditions) that is covered by one or more Valid Claims with respect to the [***] by MSGI, per [***] upon [***], after the issuance in the applicable jurisdiction of the first Patent with such a Valid Claim.

b) Royalties Owed by MSGI. For [***] from the Effective Date, or until the date of a Change of Control event, if earlier, in accordance with Section 3.4 above, MSGI shall owe to Mount Sinai, and shall actually remit to Mount Sinai, [***]. For further clarity, starting on the date that the conditions set forth in this subsection (b) are not satisfied, MSGI shall owe to Mount Sinai, and shall actually remit to Mount Sinai, [***]

i) [***] to [***] in Total Royalties Per Calendar Year. For the first [***] dollars in royalty income in aggregate per calendar year, Mount Sinai’s adjusted royalty distribution rates are as follows: [***]% to inventors, [***]% to the applicable ISMMS department, and [***]% to ISMMS. Accordingly, MSGI shall owe only [***] percent ([***]%) of Total Royalties with respect to the first [***] dollars ($[***]) of Total Royalties in a calendar year. By way of example: if the Total Royalty amount calculated as set forth in subsection (a) above was [***]dollar ($[***]), the actual amount due from MSGI to Mount Sinai hereunder would be calculated as follows: [***].

ii) Over [***] in Total Royalties Per Calendar Year. For all amounts over [***] dollars in royalty income in aggregate per calendar year, Mount Sinai’s adjusted royalty distribution rates are as follows: [***]% to inventors, [***]% to the applicable ISMMS department, and [***]% to ISMMS. Accordingly, MSGI shall owe only [***] percent ([***]%) of Total Royalties with respect to any portion of Total Royalties in a calendar year that exceeds [***] dollars ($[***]). By way of example: if the Total Royalty amount calculated as set forth in subsection (a) above was [***] and [***] dollar ($[***]), the actual amount due from MSGI to Mount Sinai hereunder with respect to the [***] dollar in excess of [***]dollars (and, for clarity, all dollars thereafter) would be calculated as follows: [***].


Pursuant to SEC Release 34-85381, certain identified information has been excluded from this Exhibit because it is (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.			22
