Whereas, PHARMA, BIOSCIENCE, and INC have entered into an Amended and Restated License and Supply Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2021, as amended by that certain Corrected Amendment to Amended and Restated License and Supply Agreement, dated as of October 8, 2021(collectively, the “Agreement”);

Whereas, the Parties wish to add additional terms to the Agreement in regard to certain mutual payment obligations between the Parties, as described below; and

Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements contained herein, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

	a.	INC’s payment of Invoice No. DARM00429 to PHARMA;

	d.	INC’s payment of invoices No TAR01584 and No.TAR01593 (services issues) to BIOSCIENCE;

	e.	BIOSCIENCE’s payment of Invoice Nos. BioSci 2023-Q3, BioSci 2023-10, and BioSci 2023-09 to INC;

	f.	INC’s payment of an invoice to be issued by PHARMA in relation to PO #11440 (for the purchase of Ameluz);

	g.	AG’s reimbursement of its 50% share of the “Third Installment” payment under a certain “Amended Settlement Allocation Agreement” between INC and AG dated March 31, 2023 to INC;

	h.	INC’s payment of the purchase price variance as described in Section 6.5 of the Agreement for the year ending December 31, 2023 (“2023 PPV”) to PHARMA;

	i.	INC’s payments of invoices to be issued by PHARMA in relation to POs #11272, #11305, and #11154; and

	j.	BIOSCIENCE’s payment of invoices to be issued by INC in relation to clinical services provided to BIOSCIENCE in Q4 2023.

2.	Payment Schedule. To satisfy the Payment Obligations in full, the Parties agree to the following payment schedule (collectively, the “Payment Schedule”):

On or before December 20, 2023, INC will pay to PHARMA $2.791M towards DARM0043, DARM00444, DARM00484 and DARM00429.

This sum shall be reduced by any outstanding payments from BIOSCIENCE to INC under Invoice Nos. BioSci 2023-Q3, BioSci 2023-10, and BioSci 2023-09 (currently, approximately $137K).

On or before January 31, 2024, INC will pay to PHARMA i) the remainder owed under DARM00429 (approximately $1.4-l.6M), and ii) the full amount owed under the invoice to be issued by PHARMA in relation to PO# 11440 (estimated at approximately $2.9M).

This sum shall be reduced by any outstanding reimbursement from AG to INC for AG’s 50% share of the “Third Installment” payment under the “Amended Settlement Allocation Agreement” between INC and AG dated March 31, 2023 (currently, $2.815M) and any outstanding payments from BIOSCIENCE to INC in relation to clinical services provided to BIOSCIENCE in Q4 2023.

On or before January 31, 2024, INC will pay to AG invoice AR01207 and to Bioscience invoices No TAR01584 and No.TAR01593.

On or before April 30, 2024, INC will pay to PHARMA the agreed upon 2023 PPV and any invoices issued by PHARMA in relation to POs #11272, #11305, and #11154.

These payments shall be contingent on INC and PHARMA’s agreement on the 2023 PPV and PHARMA’s timely delivery of the products described in POs #11272, #11305, and #11154.

For all remaining purchases of “Licensed Products” (as defined by the Agreement) by INC in 2024, INC shall make payment to PHARMA within the standard payment term described in Section 6.1 of the Agreement. However, if INCfails to make payment in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Agreement for any reason, INC shall pay the overdue amount to PHARMA within thirty {30) additional days, in addition to interest calculated in accordance with Section 4.l(d) ofthe Agreement.

For purposes of clarification, for all remaining purchases of Licensed Products by INC in 2024, INC shall not have any rights to any cure period provided in Section 16.3 other than as set forth in this paragraph 2(d).

3.	Other Terms.

	a.	The Parties agree that INC’s timely completion of payments described in the Payment Schedule will effectively satisfy the Payment Obligations, in full. As such, so long as INC makes timely payments under the Payment Schedule, AG shall have no
		grounds to invoke the provisions of Section 16.3 of the Agreement or otherwise consider INC to be in breach ofthe Agreement due to non-payment of any Payment Obligations.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure by INC to timely make any payments for “Licensed Products” as defined by the Agreement under the Payment Schedule shall constitute a material breach pursuant to the Agreement and shall entitle AG to enforce any rights under the Agreement, including any rights of termination pursuant to Section 16.3 of the Agreement, immediately upon such failure by INC to make timely payment as defined by Section 2 of this Addendum, irrespective of any cure period provided in Section 16.3 of the Agreement.

This Addendum shall only serve to supplement, amend, and/or modify the Agreement to the extent specifically provided herein. All terms, conditions, provisions, exhibits and references of and to the Agreement that are not specifically supplemented, amended, and/or modified herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be altered by any provisions herein contained.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Addendum to Amended and Restated License and Supply Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
