Failure to Pay MINIMUM ROYALTIES.

OWNER will thereafter have the right to license OWNER’s PRE-EXISTING IP, LICENSED IP and IMPROVEMENTS to THIRD PARTIES, subject to the remaining rights of LICENSEE under this agreement. Should a THIRD PARTY begin selling LICENSED PRODUCT using OWNER PRE-EXISTING IP, LICENSED IP and IMPROVEMENTS, the royalty paid to OWNER by LICENSEE will automatically revert to [***]% of NET PROFIT per package. If LICENSEE pays all minimums due before OWNER licenses the OWNER’s PRE-EXISTING IP, LICENSED IP and IMPROVEMENTS to a THIRD PARTY, LICENSEE’s SOLE license will be reinstated.

4.10.

OWNER Supply of LICENSED PRODUCT. At OWNER’s sole discretion but subject to terms to be agreed with LICENSEE, LICENSEE may meet all or any agreed portion of OWNER’s supply needs for LICENSED PRODUCT during the TERM.

LICENSEE’s failure to meet the provisions of Paragraph 4.3 (Plant Funding and Construction) will be material breaches of this agreement.

8.2.

Despite Paragraph 8.2 (Breach), OWNER may terminate this agreement immediately upon written notice to LICENSEE at any time selected by OWNER, following the occurrence of any one or more of the events of Paragraph 8.3.1 (False Report), 8.3.2, (False Claim) or 8.3.3 (Insolvency), unless the event is cured within 7 calendar days after the date of the event and the breaching PARTY provides written acknowledgement to the non-breaching PARTY that the breach has been cured:

8.2.1.

False Report. if LICENSEE at any time makes a knowingly false report, or habitually makes inaccurate reports,

8.2.2.

False Claim. if LICENSEE has made any knowingly false claim about LICENSED PRODUCT, including claims of product performance and/or efficacy;

LICENSED PATENTS – Additional Obligations

10.1.

12.3.

Audit Findings. If, based on OWNER’s audit or inspection of LICENSEE’s records related to this agreement, OWNER determines that the amount of royalties and other fees properly due to OWNER is greater than the amount reported and/or actually paid by LICENSEE to OWNER, and OWNER provides LICENSEE a copy of a report describing the underpayment, and showing, in reasonable detail, the basis upon which such underpayment was determined; then, within 30 calendar days from the date the report was provided to LICENSEE:

12.3.1.

Underpayment. LICENSEE will pay OWNER a sum of money equal to the underpayment as determined by OWNER, along with interest on the underpayment at a rate of 12% per annum from the date the royalties were due until the date on which the underpayment is paid to OWNER; or

Overpayment. OWNER will (a) credit the amount of any overpayment to the next payment date or (b) if there is no future payment due OWNER, refund the amount of the overpayment.

12.4.

In response to this written notice, OWNER may, at OWNER’s discretion, request an independent auditor, reasonably acceptable to LICENSEE, to review the RECORDS and/or the basis on which OWNER determined the amount of underpayment. If the auditor confirms OWNER’s claim, or concludes that the underpayment was larger than the amount estimated by OWNER, then LICENSEE will, within 30 calendar days from the date of the auditor’s conclusions, remit to OWNER a sum equal to the deficiency determined by the auditor and all actual costs of the independent audit will be borne by LICENSEE; along with interest on the underpayment, at a rate of 12% per annum, from the date on which the royalties were due from LICENSEE until the date on which the underpayment is paid to OWNER.

13.

Assignment & Delegation

(Ownership & Right to License), OWNER may assign to any OWNER AFFILIATE or other THIRD PARTY any intellectual property rights licensed by OWNER to LICENSEE under this agreement, on condition that a written agreement is entered into binding the AFFILIATE or other THIRD PARTY to the licensor obligations of this agreement with respect to such assigned intellectual property rights.

13.3.

No Assignments or Delegations by LICENSEE. The rights and licenses granted by OWNER in this agreement are personal to LICENSEE and this agreement is entered into because of OWNER’s reliance upon the knowledge, experience, skill, and integrity of LICENSEE. This agreement, the license(s) and any other rights granted to LICENSEE under this agreement, and/or any duties to be performed by LICENSEE under this agreement will not be delegated, assigned, transferred, hypothecated, sublicensed, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of –including by merger (whether that party is the surviving or disappearing entity), consolidation, dissolution, or operation of law– without first obtaining the consent in writing of OWNER, which may be withheld in OWNER’s reasonable discretion. If OWNER grants such consent, then all future delegations, assignments, transfers, hypothecations, sublicenses, encumbrances, or other disposals of any new party’s rights and/or duties under this agreement will not occur without written consent from OWNER; such consent may be withheld in OWNER’s discretion. Any attempted assignment without OWNER’s consent will be void and will automatically terminate all rights of LICENSEE under this agreement. This paragraph notwithstanding, if LICENSEE forms one or more new companies for the commercial manufacture of LICENSED PRODUCT or for project financing purposes, OWNER will not unreasonably withhold consent to assign or sublicense.

Before RECEIVER discloses any INFORMATION to a THIRD PARTY, RECIEVER will get written approval from DISCLOSER to disclose the INFORMATION, and RECEIVER will enter into a confidentiality agreement with the receiving THIRD PARTY which is no less restrictive than this Section 14.

Required Disclosure by Law / Regulation. If RECEIVER is required by law or government regulation to disclose DISCLOSER INFORMATION (“COMPELLED DISCLOSURE”), then RECEIVER will: (a) provide prompt reasonable prior notice to the DISCLOSER of the COMPELLED DISCLOSURE so that DISCLOSER may take steps to protect DISCLOSER’s confidential information, and (b) provide reasonable cooperation to DISCLOSER in DISCLOSER’s protecting against the COMPELLED DISCLOSURE and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of the COMPELLED DISCLOSURE or use of the INFORMATION. If DISCLOSER is unable to obtain such protection against the COMPELLED DISCLOSURE, then despite the commitments set forth in Paragraph 14.2 (Obligation of Confidentiality) RECEIVER will be entitled to disclose the DISCLOSER’s INFORMATION (aa) only as and to the extent necessary to legally comply with the COMPELLED DISCLOSURE and (bb) on condition that RECEIVER exercises reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that the DISCLOSER’s INFORMATION is treated as confidential to the extent allowable by the law or government regulation requiring the COMPELLED DISCLOSURE. Such COMPELLED DISCLOSURE does not otherwise waive the non-use and confidentiality obligations set forth in Paragraph 14.2 (Obligation of Confidentiality) with respect to other uses and/or other disclosures of such INFORMATION.

14.9.

Representation That No Disclosure Required. LICENSEE represents as of the EFFECTIVE DATE that LICENSEE does not need to disclose the terms of this agreement for any reasons permitted by Paragraph 14.8 (Required Disclosure by Law/Regulation).

Following termination of the obligations of confidentiality under this Article 14 (Confidentiality), the RECEIVER will be completely free of any express or implied obligations restricting disclosure and use of INFORMATION for which the termination of commitments applies, subject to the DISCLOSER’s patent and other intellectual property rights.

14.11.

Disclosure of this agreement. LICENSEE will not divulge, permit, or cause LICENSEE’s officers, directors, or agents to divulge the substance of this agreement, other than to (a) its representatives and attorneys in the course of any legal proceeding to which either of the PARTIES is a party for the purpose of securing compliance with this agreement, or (b) its contract manufacturers for the purpose of complying with this agreement;.

15.4.

Infringement Action by OWNER. At OWNER’s discretion subject to Paragraph 16.2.1, OWNER will promptly provide written notice, to the other party, of any alleged infringement by a THIRD PARTY of the LICENSED PATENTS or OWNER IMPROVEMENTS and provide such other PARTY with any available evidence of such infringement. In the event there is good reason to believe infringement of any of the LICENSED PATENTS or OWNER IMPROVEMENTS is occurring, OWNER will take prompt action to abate or settle such infringement. OWNER shall have the right to institute an action in its own name, in so far as permitted by law, to abate the infringement and may join LICENSEE as a plaintiff, only if without cost to LICENSEE.

16.2.1.

During the term of this agreement, OWNER will have the right but not an obligation to prosecute, at its own expense and utilizing counsel of its choice, any infringement of the LICENSED PATENTS and OWNER IMPROVEMENTS.

If within 90 days after receiving notice of any alleged infringement of the LICENSED PATENTS by a THIRD PARTY, OWNER has been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist, and has not brought and will not be diligently prosecuting an infringement action, or if OWNER notifies LICENSEE, at any time prior thereto, of its intention not to bring suit against the alleged infringer, then LICENSEE will have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute, at their own expense and utilizing counsel of its choice, any infringement of the LICENSED PATENTS (a "LICENSEE Prosecution"), and LICENSEE may, for such purposes, join the OWNER as a party plaintiff, at the expense of LICENSEE.

In the event OWNER institutes an action for infringement of LICENSED PATENTS or OWNER IMPROVEMENTS in its own name and a settlement is entered into or monetary damages are awarded in a final non-appealable judgment, the amount paid as a result of such settlement or the monetary damages awarded will first be applied to the payment of OWNER’s out-of-pocket expenses, including attorney’s fees and court costs incurred in the action, and the balance of any such amount will be divided appropriately between OWNER and LICENSEE with reference to the relative monetary injury suffered by each as a result of the infringement for which such amount is recovered.

Infringement Action by LICENSEE. At LICENSEE’s discretion subject to Paragraph 16.4.1, LICENSEE will promptly provide written notice, to the other party, of any alleged infringement by a THIRD PARTY of the LICENSEE IMPROVEMENTS and provide such other PARTY with any available evidence of such infringement. In the event there is good reason to believe infringement of any of the LICENSEE IMPROVEMENTS is occurring, LICENSEE will take prompt action to abate or settle such infringement. LICENSEE shall have the right to institute an action in its own name, in so far as permitted by law, to abate the infringement. LICENSEE will utilize best efforts to avoid subjecting OWNER to any legal response related to any infringement action. Should OWNER be compelled to be part of such infringement action, LICENSEE will bear all related costs.

16.4.1.

During the term of this agreement, LICENSEE will have the right but not an obligation to prosecute, at its own expense and utilizing counsel of its choice, any infringement of the LICENSEE IMPROVEMENTS. LICENSEE will promptly provide OWNER copies of all litigation pleadings and other documents submitted to the court. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any such suit may be entered into without the written consent of OWNER, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld.

16.4.2.

In the event LICENSEE institutes an action for infringement of LICENSEE IMPROVEMENTS in its own name and a settlement is entered into or monetary damages are awarded in a final non-appealable judgment, the amount paid as a result of such settlement or the monetary damages awarded will be payable to LICENSEE.

16.4.3.

In any suit to enforce and/or defend the LICENSEE IMPROVEMENTS pursuant to this agreement, the PARTY not in control of such suit will, at the request and expense of the controlling PARTY, cooperate in all respects and, to the extent reasonably possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens and the like.

Schedule 1.1.21 - LICENSED PATENTS

EXHIBIT 1 - PHASE 1 DELIVERABLES

PHASE 1 deliverables:

●

Within 6 months from the EFFECTIVE DATE, LICENSEE will complete a technology roadmap for a first commercial production line of the LICENSED PRODUCT, a business model for making and selling the LICENSED PRODUCT, a key customer list, and technical partnerships identified (collectively, the “CONCEPTUAL PLAN”). LICENSEE will share the CONCEPTUAL PLAN with OWNER and within months 7-12 from the EFFECTIVE DATE, LICENSEE will, at LICENSEE's option, incorporate OWNER’s feedback into the CONCEPTUAL PLAN.

EXHIBIT 2 - PHASE 1 SUCCESS CRITERIA

The following are the PHASE 1 SUCCESS CRITERIA:

●

Before the end of PHASE 1, LICENSEE will have a final CONCEPTUAL PLAN that is acceptable to LICENSEE. The CONCEPTUAL PLAN will lay out the roadmap for making the choice to move to a pilot plant or directly to a first COMMERCIAL PLANT, and will have a PHASE 2 staffing plan that may comprise any combination of LICENSEE employees, subcontractors, and LICENSEE funded employees of OWNER.

EXHIBIT 3 – PHASE 2 WORK PLAN

●

Within months 13-18 from the EFFECTIVE DATE, LICENSEE will commit to either develop a pilot plant before the commercial production line, or develop a commercial production line without a pilot plant.

●

If LICENSEE chooses to develop a pilot plant, the pilot plant will be operational within 30 months from the EFFECTIVE DATE.

●

If LICENSEE chooses to develop a commercial production line without a pilot plant, LICENSEE will have a plant design completed and an identified location for the plant before the end of PHASE 2.

EXHIBIT 4 – PHASE 2 SUCCESS CRITERIA

●

LICENSEE will achieve technical autonomy, which is defined as LICENSEE needing no further technical support from OWNER.

●

LICENSEE will have an operational pilot plant or a commercial scale plant design and a location for the commercial scale plant by the end of PHASE 2.

EXHIBIT 5 – NET PROFIT Calculation

NET PROFIT equals NET SALES minus the sum of direct and allocated costs. NET PROFIT can never be less than zero. NET PROFIT per package sold is NET PROFIT divided by the number of packages sold over the time frame of interest. LICENSEE’s transactions with third parties that impact any portion of the NET PROFIT calculation will be on terms no less favorable than an arm’s length transaction between two unaffiliated parties.

Within the 6 month period before the commercial sales of LICENSED PRODUCT begins, the PARTIES will meet to mutually agree on the definition of direct and allocated costs that go into the calculation of NET PROFIT. The agreed upon definitions will be added to EXHIBIT 6 and become a part of this agreement. EXHIBIT 6 will be updated and amended from time to time upon mutual agreement of the PARTIES.

The following are basic principles that the PARTIES will use to arrive at the definition of direct and allocated costs:

Direct costs attributable to the LICENSED PRODUCT may include any combination of the following:

The product cost, which is the sum of:

material costs for the finished package;

ii.

manufacturing operating expenses which include, direct labor, contractor fees, utilities, supplies, rent, training and travel;

iii.

transportation costs, handling charges, logistics and warehousing;

iv.

manufacturing overhead, which includes plant management, labor, supplies, training and travel, and property taxes.

Sales labor, distributor fees, and general management expenses.

Debt service.

Direct costs may further include depreciation on property, plant and equipment that is used exclusively for the manufacture of LICENSED PRODUCT. Depreciation on shared manufacturing, distribution and product development assets used to manufacture LICENSED PRODUCT will be shared pro-rata based upon an allocation process to be mutually agreed to in writing by the PARTIES.

Allocated costs are the costs that cannot be attributed solely to the business.

EXHIBIT 6 - Annual Calculation of Direct and Allocated Costs

To be populated annually.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Unit Purchase Warrant (this “Warrant”), for good and valuable consideration paid, The Procter & Gamble Company, or such person to whom this Warrant is properly transferred pursuant to Section 9 (the “Holder”), is hereby entitled, at any time during the Exercise Period (as defined below), to purchase a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Class B Units of AeroFlexx, LLC, a Delaware LLC (the “Company”), (as such number of Class B Units may be subject to adjustment as provided herein), equal to an amount that initially represents10% of all of the outstanding equity of the Company, on a fully diluted basis, including any Units reserved for issuance as a result of any equity-based award. The aggregate exercise price for all such Class B Units will equal one dollar ($1.00).

For purposes of this Warrant, (a) the term “Warrant Unit” means the Company's Class B Units issuable pursuant to this Warrant and (b) the term “Exercise Price” means an aggregate price of one dollar ($1.00). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Company’s Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement as in effect as of XXX, XX, 20XX.

1. Number of Units Subject to Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder is entitled, upon exercise as set forth in Section 2, to purchase from the Company, at a price equal to the Exercise Price, up to XXX,XXX (XXX,XXX) Warrant Units.

2. Exercise

2.1 Exercise Period

The “Exercise Period” of this Warrant shall commence at the signing of this Unit Purchase Warrant and shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) the closing of a Change of Control Transaction, or (b) the closing of a Qualified IPO. The Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days written notice prior to an event described in Sections 2.1(a) or 2.1(b).

2.2 Procedure for Exercise

This Warrant may be exercised at any time during the Exercise Period, in whole or part, by delivering to the Company (a) the form of Exercise Notice attached hereto in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly completed and executed by the Holder, (b) this Warrant certificate, and (c) cash, a bank cashier's check or wire transfer of immediately payable funds payable to the Company in the amount of the Exercise Price. The Holder will be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Units as to which the Warrant was exercised in accordance with this Warrant, effective on the date and time such exercise is completed and all documents specified above are delivered to and accepted by the Company.

3. Delivery of Unit Certificate

Within ten days after the exercise of this Warrant (in full or in part) and payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall issue in the name of and deliver to the Holder (a) a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Units to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise and (b) a replacement Warrant for the number of Warrant Units to which the Holder remains entitled to purchase.

4. Reservation of Warrant Unit

The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Units that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have the authority to issue a sufficient number of Warrant Units to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Period the Company is not authorized to issue Warrant Units sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such company action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to be authorized to issue Warrant Units in a number as is sufficient for such purposes.

5. Effect of Reorganization

(a) Reorganization—No Change in Control

If a merger, consolidation, share exchange, acquisition of all or substantially all of the property or Unit, liquidation, or other reorganization of the Company (collectively, a “Reorganization”) is to be effected prior to expiration of the Exercise Period, as a result of which the Members of the Company will receive cash, Units, or other property in exchange for their Units and the holders of the Company's voting equity securities immediately prior to such Reorganization (assuming conversion of all convertible securities and exercise of all options, warrants, and other exercisable securities after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting provisions that will apply in connection with such transaction) together will own a majority interest of the voting equity securities of the successor entity (or its parent) following such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of securities resulting from such Reorganization (and cash and other property) to which a holder of the Company’s Class B Units would have been entitled in such Reorganization if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder after the Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustments of the number and type of securities purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any units deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will provide the Holder with at least 20 days prior written notice of any such contemplated Reorganization.

(b) Reorganization—Change in Control; Qualified IPO Termination of Warrant

If a Reorganization is to be effected prior to expiration of the Exercise Period that will constitute a Change of Control Transaction, or there will be a Qualified IPO, the Company shall provide the Holder an opportunity to exercise this Warrant in full at least 20 days prior to the date on which a record will be taken for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of such Reorganization or Qualified IPO. Notwithstanding the period of exercisability stated on the face of this Warrant, this Warrant shall expire upon the closing of such Change of Control Transaction or Qualified IPO to the extent not exercised prior to such closing (including an exercise that is effective upon, or immediately prior to, such closing).

6. Adjustments for Unit Splits; Conversion or Exchange of Warrant Unit; Anti Dilution Protection.

(a) If the Company’s outstanding Class B Units shall be subdivided into a greater number of units or a dividend in Class B Units shall be paid in respect of Class B Units, the number of Warrant Units purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be pro partially adjusted. If outstanding Class B Units shall be combined into a smaller number of units, the number of Warrant Units purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be pro partially adjusted.

(b) In the event that the Company’s Class B Units are exchanged for or reclassified into units of a different class or series, this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the number and class of units into which the Class B Units otherwise purchasable under this Warrant would have been converted, exchanged, or reclassified if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to any such transaction.

(c) The number of Warrant Units exercisable upon full exercise of this Warrant initially represented a 10% Sharing Percentage in the Company, calculated on a fully diluted basis. The Sharing Percentage represented by this Warrant will be subject to adjustment on a pari passu basis with all outstanding Class B Units at any given time, and as of the date of this Amended and Restated Patent and Know How License Agreement, Holder’s Sharing Percentage in the Company has been diluted to 7.5%. In consideration of this Amended and Restated Patent and Know How License Agreement, the Parties agree that the number of Warrant Units exercisable upon full exercise of this Warrant (including any Warrant Units already exercised under this Warrant) will not be reduced below an 8.75% (where the Holder has not entered into a supply agreement, as defined below (a “Supply Agreement”), with the Company) or 10% (where the Holder has entered into a Supply Agreement with the Company) Sharing Percentage in the Company, calculated on a fully diluted basis. To the extent that the total number of Warrant Units exercisable upon full exercise of this Warrant (including any Warrant Units already exercised under this Warrant) would be reduced below an 8.75% (where the Holder has not entered into a Supply Agreement with the Company) or 10% (where the Holder has entered into a Supply Agreement with the Company) Sharing Percentage in the Company, calculated on a fully diluted basis, the number of Warrant Units purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased such that the total number of Warrant Units exercisable upon full exercise of this Warrant (including any Warrant Units already exercised under this Warrant) would be equal to an 8.75% (where the Holder has not entered into a Supply Agreement with the Company) or 10% (where the Holder has entered into a Supply Agreement with the Company) Sharing Percentage in the Company, calculated on a fully diluted basis. The aggregate Exercise Price for the exercise of all Warrant Units after any adjustment under this Section 6(c) will be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. For purposes of this Paragraph 6, a “Supply Agreement” means an agreement for the purchase by the Holder on or before the date on which the Company enters into a Change of Control Transaction or a Qualified IPO.

7. Compliance With Securities Act.

(a) Compliance With Securities Act. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant, and the Units issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, are being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any Units issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act (defined below), or any applicable state securities laws.
