For clarity, the term “Net Sales” does not include consideration received by Licensee for the grant of rights under a Sublicense (for which payment shall be governed solely by Section 2.2.2 hereof) or for royalties under a Sublicense (for which payment shall be governed solely by Section 2.2.2 hereof).

	1.10	The term “Sublicensee” shall mean any third party to whom Licensee confers the right to make, use or sell Licensed Product and/or Licensed Processes and/or any of the intellectual property rights embodied in Licensed Patents.

Section 6 Record Keeping

	6.1	Licensee and its Sublicensee(s) shall keep books and records sufficient to verify the accuracy and completeness of Licensee’s and its Sublicensee(s)’s accounting referred to above, including without limitation, inventory, purchase and invoice records, manufacturing records, sales analysis, general ledgers, financial statements, and tax returns relating to the Licensed Products and/or Licensed Processes. Such books and records shall be preserved for a period not less than six years after they are created or as required by federal law, both during and after the term of this Agreement.

	6.2	Licensee and its Sublicensee(s) shall take all steps necessary so that FSURF may, within thirty (30) days of its written request, audit, review and/or copy all of the books and records at a single U.S. location to verify the accuracy of Licensee’s and its Sublicensee(s)’s accounting. Such review may be performed by any authorized employees of FSURF as well as by any attorneys and/or accountants designated by FSURF, upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours. If a deficiency with regard to any payment hereunder is determined, Licensee and its Sublicensee(s) shall pay the deficiency within thirty (30) days of receiving notice thereof along with applicable interest as described in Section 4.4.1. If a royalty payment deficiency for a calendar year exceeds [***] of the royalties paid for that year, then Licensee and its Sublicensee(s) shall be responsible for paying FSURF’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred with respect to such review.

	6.3	At any time during the term of this agreement, FSURF may request in writing that Licensee verify the calculation of any past payments owed to FSURF through the means of a self-audit. Within ninety (90) days of the request, Licensee shall complete a self-audit of its books and records to verify the accuracy and completeness of the payments owed. Within thirty (30) days of the completion of the self-audit, Licensee shall submit to FSURF a report detailing the findings of the self-audit and the manner in which it was conducted in order to verify the accuracy and completeness of the payments owed.

FSURF will also provide Licensee with copies of office actions and other communications received by FSURF from the United States Patent and Trademark Office and foreign patent offices relating to Licensed Patents. Licensee agrees to keep such information confidential.

	7.2	Licensee shall pay to FSURF the sum of [***], within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date to reimburse any and all expenses associated with preparation, filing, prosecution, issuance, maintenance, defense, and reporting of the Licensed Patents incurred prior to the Effective Date. (NOTE: the above referenced dollar amount in this Section 7.2 is subject to change, as all related patent prosecution expense invoices may not have been received from the law firm at the time of license terms negotiation. In addition, the amounts in this article are separate from other amounts due for payment listed elsewhere.)

7.3

Licensee shall be responsible for and pay all costs and expenses incurred by FSURF related to the preparation, filing, prosecution, issuance, maintenance, defense and reporting of the Licensed Patents subsequent to and separate of those expenses cited in Section 7.2 within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from FSURF. It shall be the responsibility of Licensee to keep FSURF fully apprised of the “small entity” status of Licensee and all Sublicensees with respect to the U.S. patent laws and with respect to the patent laws of any other countries, if applicable, and to inform FSURF of any changes in writing of such status, within thirty (30) days of any such change. In the event that additional licenses are granted to licensees for alternate fields-of-use, patent expenses associated with Licensed Patents will be divided proportionally between the number of existing licensees. In the case of foreign patent protection, if a licensee declines to reimburse FSURF for its proportional share of patent expenses in any particular country, then said licensee relinquishes the right to commercialize Licensed Products in the specified country.

Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend the Licensed Patents after Licensor and joint owners elect not to commence a suit either by formal notice to Licensee or by failure to act within the ninety (90) day period following notification of the infringer, to institute, prosecute and control any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement, by counsel of its choice, including any declaratory judgment action arising from such infringement provided, however, prior to instituting such action, Licensee shall first meet with FSURF and provide FSURF with (i) a written estimate of the expenses that would reasonably be incurred in connection with such action or proceeding and (ii) financial records reasonably sufficient to reasonably demonstrate that it has the financial wherewithal to pay such expenses as they fall due through the conclusion of such action or proceeding by means of judgment or other final, non-appealable decision or a plan to raise such funds. In the event that any Patent Rights licensed to Licensee are infringed by a third party prior to Licensee filing an investigational new drug application (“IND”) for a Licensed Product, prior to any enforcement action being taken by either FSURF or Licensee regarding such infringement, FSURF and Licensee shall discuss, and will mutually agree, in writing, as to how to handle such infringement by such third party. Licensee shall be free to enter into a settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary disposition with respect to any such action, provided that any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary disposition thereof which (i) materially limits the scope, validity, or enforceability of patents included in the Patent Rights or (ii) admits fault or wrongdoing on the part of FSURF must be approved by FSURF, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Licensee’s request for such approval shall include complete copies of final settlement documents, a detailed summary of such settlement, and any other information material to such settlement. FSURF shall provide Licensee notice of its approval or denial within fifteen (15) business days of any request for such approval by Licensee, provided that (i) in the event FSURF wishes to deny such approval, such notice shall include a detailed written description of FSURF’s reasonable objections to the proposed settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary disposition and (ii) FSURF shall be deemed to have approved of such proposed settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary disposition in the event it fails to provide such notice within such fifteen (15) day period in accordance herewith. If Licensee recovers monetary damages in the form of lost profits from a third party infringer as a remedy for the infringement of Patent Rights licensed hereunder, then Licensee shall first apply such recovery to the costs and expenses incurred in obtaining or negotiating for such recovery (including attorneys’ fees) and reimburse FSURF for the costs and expenses it reasonably incurred in obtaining or negotiating for such recovery (including attorneys’ fees), and pay to FSURF the royalties on the remaining portion of such lost profits at the rate specified in Section 4.2. If Licensee recovers monetary damages in the form of a reasonable royalty as a remedy for the infringement of Patent Rights, then, after applying such royalty to the recovery of the costs and expenses incurred in obtaining or negotiating for such royalty (including attorneys’ fees) and reimbursing FSURF for the costs and expenses it reasonably incurred in obtaining or negotiating for such recovery (including attorneys’ fees), the remaining amount of any such royalty shall be treated as Sublicensing Royalty Revenue in accordance with Section 2.2.2.

	8.2	Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in FSURF’s sole discretion, FSURF shall be entitled to participate through counsel of its own choosing in any legal action involving the invention and Patent Rights. Nothing in the foregoing Sections shall be construed in any way which would limit the authority of the Florida Attorney General. FSURF and Licensee agree to notify each other promptly of each infringement or possible infringement of Licensed Patents, as well as any facts which may affect the validity, scope or enforceability of the patent rights of which any party becomes aware.

Section 9 Term and Termination

	9.1	The term of this license shall begin on the Effective Date of this Agreement and continue until the date that no Licensed Patent remains an enforceable patent, unless earlier terminated as provided herein.

	9.2	Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving at least sixty (60) days written notice of such termination to FSURF. Such a notice shall be accompanied by a statement of the reasons for termination.

	9.3	FSURF may terminate this Agreement by giving Licensee at least thirty (30) days written notice if Licensee:

	9.3.1	is delinquent on any report or payment;

	9.3.2	is not diligently developing and commercializing Licensed Product and Licensed Process;

	9.3.3	is in breach of any provision;

	9.3.6	shall cease to carry on its business pertaining to Licensed Patents; or

	9.3.8	fails for more than two (2) calendar quarters to make payments of earned royalties under Section 4.2.

	Termination under this Section 9.3 will take effect thirty (30) days after written notice by FSURF unless Licensee remedies the problem in that 30-day period.

	9.4	FSURF may immediately terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of the second separate default by Licensee within any consecutive three-year period for failure to pay royalties, patent or any other expenses when due.

	9.5	Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, nothing herein shall be construed to release either party from any obligation that matured prior to the effective date of such termination. Licensee shall remain obligated to provide an accounting for and to pay royalties earned to the date of termination, and any minimum royalties shall be prorated as of the date of termination by the number of days elapsed in the applicable calendar year. Licensee may, however, after the effective date of such termination, sell all Licensed Products, and complete Licensed Products in the process of manufacture at the time of such termination and sell the same, provided that Licensee shall remain obligated to provide an accounting for and to pay running royalties thereon.

	9.6	Licensee shall be obligated to deliver to FSURF, within ninety (90) days of the date of termination of this agreement, complete and unredacted copies of all documentation prepared for or submitted for all regulatory approvals of Licensed Products or Licensed Processes.

Section 10 Assignability

This Agreement may not be transferred or assigned by Licensee except with the prior written consent of FSURF, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Licensee may, on written notice to FSURF and with FSURF’s consent, assign this Agreement to an acquirer of all or substantially all of Licensee's stock or assets, in which case assignee assumes all responsibilities under this license, however Licensee shall not be released of its obligations that matured prior to assignment.

Section 11 Dispute Resolution Procedures

	11.1	Mandatory Procedures.

		In the event either party intends to file a lawsuit against the other with respect to any matter in connection with this Agreement, compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section shall be a condition precedent to the filing of such lawsuit, other than for injunctive relief. Either party may terminate this Agreement as provided in this Agreement without following the procedures set forth in this section.

	11.1.1	When a party intends to invoke the procedures set forth in this section, written notice shall be provided to the other party. Within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice, the parties agree that representatives designated by the parties shall meet at mutually agreeable times and engage in good faith negotiations at a mutually convenient location to resolve such dispute.

	11.1.2	If the parties fail to meet within the time period set forth in Section 11.1.1 above or if either party subsequently determines that negotiations between the representatives of the parties are at an impasse, the party declaring that the negotiations are at an impasse shall give notice to the other party stating with particularity the issues that remain in dispute.

	11.1.3	Not more than fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice of issues, each party shall deliver to the other party a list of the names and addresses of at least three individuals, any one of whom would be acceptable as a neutral advisor in the dispute (the “Neutral Advisor”) to the party delivering the list. Any individual proposed as a Neutral Advisor shall have experience in determining, mediating, evaluating, or trying intellectual property litigation and shall not be affiliated with the party that is proposing such individual.

	11.1.4	Within ten (10) days after delivery of such lists, the parties shall agree on a Neutral Advisor. If they are unable to so agree within that time, within five (5) days, they shall each select one individual from the lists. Within five (5) days, the individuals so selected shall meet and appoint a third individual from the lists to serve as the Neutral Advisor. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of a Neutral Advisor:

	(a)	The parties shall each provide a written statement of the issues in dispute to the Neutral Advisor.

	(b)	The parties shall meet with the Neutral Advisor in Tallahassee, Florida on a date and time established by the Neutral Advisor. The meeting must be attended by persons authorized to make final decisions on behalf of each party with respect to the dispute. At the meeting, each party shall make a presentation with respect to its position concerning the dispute. The Neutral Advisor will then discuss the issues separately with each party and attempt to resolve all issues in the dispute. At the meeting, the parties will enter into a written settlement agreement with respect to all issues that are resolved. Such settlement agreement shall be final and binding with respect to such resolved issues and may not be the subject of any lawsuit between the parties, other than a suit for enforcement of the settlement agreement.

	11.1.5	The expenses of the Neutral Advisor shall be shared by the parties equally. All other out-of-pocket costs and expenses for the alternative dispute resolution procedure required under this Section shall be paid by the party incurring the same.

	11.1.6	Positions taken and statements made during this alternative dispute resolution procedure shall be deemed settlement negotiations and shall not be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceeding.

	11.2	Failure to Resolve Dispute.

		If any issue is not resolved at the meeting with the Neutral Advisor, either party may file appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the issue that remains in dispute. No new issues may be included in the lawsuit without the mandatory procedures set forth in this section having first been followed.

11.3

Appendix A - Inter-institutional Agreement

Appendix B - Development Plan

The starting point for the Development Plan will be the group of compounds previously identified by Prof. Hengli Tang and collaborators and described in Provisional Patent Application [***]. Novel compounds (prodrugs or other derivatives) will be synthesized with the aim of optimizing characteristics such as oral bioavailability, CNS penetration, pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, and safety. The ultimate goals of the Development Program are to complete preclinical and clinical testing of one or more lead drug candidates, prepare and file a New Drug Application, obtain marketing approval, and commence product manufacturing and sales.

	A.	Development activities to be undertaken

		(Please break activities into subunits)

	1.	Testing of lead compounds in small animal and human brain organoid model for ZIKV inhibition. We will test the efficacy of lead compounds in both IFNAR-/- mice and C57BL/6 mice. Multiple assays, including body weight loss, lethality, and viral load in blood and tissues, will be used to determine if a compound is effective against ZIKV infection. We will also use the human brain organoid system as a complementary model to avoid pitfalls of species-specific differences and safeguard the success of our project.

	2.	Determination of mechanism of action (this project is concurrent with other activities and not part of a sequence of activities). We will use a combined approach of biochemistry, molecular biology, and virology to identify the compound target and dissect its mechanism of action (MOA). We will label the compound and identify its binding partner in cells and in vitro; we will map any drug resistant mutations in cell culture and determine the specific steps of the virus life cycle to which the compound targets.

	3.	Optimization of lead compounds in each class. For both classes of compounds, we will perform iterative rounds of analog synthesis and testing, typically on a biweekly or monthly schedule. The chemistry team will design and synthesize compounds; the biology team will test the compounds in assays; and the Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) team will evaluate compound physical properties. During lead optimization, it is necessary to address ADME and toxicological liabilities and to improve the lead compound’s DMPK properties. The goal lead optimization is to identify an advanced lead candidate with drug-like properties, efficacy in animal models, and low toxicity.

	4.	Advanced safety testing for lead candidates. Once advanced lead candidates are identified, we will begin to build a safety package for the compound. This in general will consist of non-GLP toxicology studies in a rodent and a non-rodent species. Upon successful completion of the exploratory toxicology studies, we will manufacture sufficient amounts of application program interface (API) under GMP conditions to support GLP toxicology studies in two species under GLP conditions, including GLP genotoxicity and safety pharmacology studies under GLP conditions. The results from these studies will form the body of the regulatory filing to open an IND with the FDA.
