on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis to an upper-single digit percentage of net sales in any country in the event
of the expiration of the last valid patent claim or if no valid patent claim exists in that country. The royalty will end on the
earlier of (i) date on which a biosimilar product is first marketed, sold, or distributed by Licensor or any third party in the
applicable country or (ii) the 10 year anniversary of the date of expiration of the last-to-expire valid patent claim in that

of the licensed product in the applicable country. In addition, NoveCite will pay to Licensor an amount equal to a mid-twenties

there are 3 million cases of ARDS every year out of which approximately 200,000 cases are in the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic
has added significantly to the number of ARDS cases. Once the COVID patients advance to ARDS, they are put on mechanical ventilators.
Death rate among patients on ventilators can be as high as 50% depending on associated co-morbidities. There are no approved treatments
for ARDS, and the current standard of care only attempts to provide symptomatic relief.</FONT></P>

mesenchymal stem cell therapy product is derived from a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line generated using a proprietary
mRNA-based (non-viral) reprogramming process. The NC-iMSCs produced from this clonal technique are differentiated from human donor-derived
MSCs (bone marrow, placenta, umbilical cord, adipose tissue, or dental pulp) by providing genetic homogeneity. In <I>in-vitro
</I>studies, NC-iMSCs exhibit superior potency and high cell viability. NC-iMSCs secrete immunomodulatory proteins that may reduce
or prevent pulmonary symptoms associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with COVID-19. NC-iMSC is
an allogeneic (unrelated donor) mesenchymal stem-cell product manufactured by expanding material from a master cell bank.</FONT></P>

generation (human donor-derived) MSCs are isolated from donated tissue followed by &ldquo;culture expansion&rdquo;. Since only
a relatively small number of cells are isolated from each donation, first generation MSCs are increased by growing the cells in
culture. Unfortunately, these type of MSCs start to lose potency, and ultimately become senescent. Each donation produces a limited
number of MSCs, so a continuous supply of new donors is needed to produce commercial scale. The number and quality of MSCs that
can be isolated from different donors can vary substantially.</FONT></P>

is an inflammatory process leading to build-up of fluid in the lungs and respiratory failure. It can occur due to infection, trauma
and inhalation of noxious substances. ARDS accounts for approximately 10% of all ICU admissions and almost 25% of patients requiring
mechanical ventilation. Survivors of ARDS are often left with severe long-term illness and disability. ARDS is a frequent complication
of patients with COVID-19. ARDS is sometimes initially diagnosed as pneumonia or pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs from heart
disease). Symptoms of ARDS include shortness of breath, rapid breathing and heart rate, chest pain (particularly while inhaling),
and bluish skin coloration. Among those who survive ARDS, a decreased quality of life is relatively common.</FONT></P>
