China, Macau and Hong Kong, and the license extended to manufacturing in those countries as well. Under the terms of the license
agreement, once Shenghuo was capable of manufacturing LuViva in accordance with ISO 13485 for medical devices, Shenghuo would pay
the Company a royalty equal to $2.00 or 20% of the distributor price (subject to a discount under certain circumstances), whichever
is higher, per disposable distributed within Shenghuo’s exclusive territories. In connection with the license grant, Shenghuo
was to underwrite the cost of securing approval of LuViva with Chinese Food and Drug Administration. At its option, Shenghuo also
would provide up to $1.0 million in furtherance of the Company’s efforts to secure regulatory approval for LuViva from the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in exchange for the right to receive payments equal to 2% of the Company’s future sales
in the United States, up to an aggregate of $4.0 million. Pursuant to the license agreement, Shenghuo had the option to have a
designee appointed to the Company’s board of directors.

Mr. Blumberg will serve.
