2.1 By this LICENSE AGREEMENT, the ESTABLISHMENTS grant to BIOPHYTIS the exclusive right to exploit the share held by the ESTABLISHMENTS on the PATENTS, within the SCOPES and the TERRITORY. This exclusive right is granted in order to allow BIOPHYTIS, directly or indirectly, in an exclusive context, to develop, use, manufacture, market, sell, import or export and distribute the PRODUCTS.

BIOPHYTIS may exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this LICENSE AGREEMENT through its AFFILIATES.

2.2 As long as BIOPHYTIS enjoys exclusive exploitation rights over the share of the ESTABLISHMENTS within the SCOPES and the TERRITORY, BIOPHYTIS will have a right of first refusal on any concession of commercial exploitation rights of one or more PATENT(S) OUTSIDE THE SCOPE, envisaged by one or more ESTABLISHMENTS, the methods of implementation of which are described below:

a) the ESTABLISHMENTS undertake to notify, by themselves or through SATT LUTECH acting on their behalf, to BIOPHYTIS about any concession of rights for the commercial exploitation of one or more PATENTS(S) outside the SCOPE, envisaged by one or more ESTABLISHMENTS at any time during the term of the LICENSE AGREEMENT (hereinafter the “NOTIFICATION 1”). Any NOTIFICATION 1 shall specify the PATENT(S) concerned, the proposed areas of operation and the financial conditions proposed by the ESTABLISHMENT(S) in consideration for the notified rights concession;

b) BIOPHYTIS will have one (1) month following the receipt of NOTIFICATION 1 to notify the author of NOTIFICATION 1, if BIOPHYTIS so wishes, of its wish to benefit in whole or in part from the proposed concession of the rights (hereinafter “NOTIFICATION 2”). Any NOTIFICATION 2 must specify (i) the PATENT(S) concerned and (ii) the areas of exploitation selected by BIOPHYTIS.

c) BIOPHYTIS will have a period of two (2) months following the sending of NOTIFICATION 2 to notify SATT LUTECH (hereinafter “NOTIFICATION 3”) of the acceptance of BIOPHYTIS of the proposed financial conditions or a financial counterproposal prepared in good faith in accordance with industry practices at the time of NOTIFICATION 3. Any NOTIFICATION 3 must also be accompanied by a reasoned development and marketing plan concerning the extension of the SCOPES to the areas of exploitation selected by BIOPHYTIS;

d) Upon receipt of NOTIFICATION 3, if it has been sent within the time limit provided for in point c) above, BIOPHYTIS and the ESTABLISHMENTS, or SATT LUTECH acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS, will negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions (including financial terms) for the extension of the SCOPES to the applications OUTSIDE THE SCOPES mentioned in NOTIFICATION 1 and selected by BIOPHYTIS in NOTIFICATION 2, which will have to be ratified by way of amendment to the LICENSE AGREEMENT signed within a maximum period of six (6) months following the date of NOTIFICATION 3;

e) (i) In the absence of a response from BIOPHYTIS in the forms and within the terms set for NOTIFICATION 2 or NOTIFICATION 3; (ii) in case of no response by BIOPHYTIS following the receipt of NOTIFICATION 1; (iii) in the absence of NOTIFICATION 3 addressed by BIOPHYTIS in the forms and terms set in point c) above; (iv) in case of a lack of interest expressly notified by BIOPHYTIS for the concession of rights mentioned in NOTIFICATION 1; or (v) in the absence of an amendment to the LICENSE AGREEMENT signed within the aforementioned period of six (6) month, the ESTABLISHMENTS and SATT LUTECH acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS shall be fully free to conclude with any THIRD PARTY of their choice an exclusive licence on the PATENT(S) in the areas of operation covered by NOTIFICATION 1; BIOPHYTIS accepts without reserve the said concession and undertakes to sign on simple request any document necessary for the formalisation and the enforceability vis-à-vis THIRD PARTIES of this concession provided that the financial conditions agreed with the THIRD PARTIES will not be more favourable than those which had have been proposed to BIOPHYTIS;

e) In the hypothesis referred to in paragraph d) above, the ESTABLISHMENTS undertake to pay back to BIOPHYTIS a share of any sum paid to the ESTABLISHMENTS by the THIRD PARTY using all or part of the PATENTS OUTSIDE the SCOPE; the said share being defined in good faith and on a case-by-case basis by the ESTABLISHMENTS and BIOPHYTIS.

2.3 The rights granted to BIOPHYTIS pursuant to article 2.1 above also grant BIOPHYTIS the right to grant to THIRD PARTIES licences to the PATENTS within the SCOPES and the TERRITORY under the conditions detailed in this article.

Within the limits of the provisions of the LICENSE AGREEMENT, BIOPHTYIS may grant to a LICENSEE any rights that it deems appropriate, including the right to sublicense in strict compliance with the provisions of this Article 2.3., which will apply mutatis mutandis. The rights and obligations of the LICENSEE under this LICENSE AGREEMENT shall apply mutatis mutandis to sublicensees with the understanding, nevertheless, that sub-licensees may not sublicense the rights granted to them to third parties, except with the express prior consent of the Establishments.

Any licence of all or part of the PATENTS to a THIRD PARTY is subject to the prior written agreement of the ESTABLISHMENTS on the person of the LICENSEE and on the terms provided for in the license agreement. To this purpose, BIOPHYTIS will send to SATT LUTECH on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS the first licence agreement proposal (or the detailed term sheet, if applicable) and then a draft reflecting an advanced state of the discussions between BIOPHYTIS and the future LICENSEE.

The ESTABLISHMENTS or SATT LUTECH acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS may refuse their agreement on a draft licence only if:

a) the granting of such a licence and/or its terms undermine the missions of any of the ESTABLISHMENTS as set out in (i) Decree No. 82-993 of 24 November 1982 on the organisation and functioning of CNRS and/or Decree No. 2009-1348 of 29 October 2009 on the organisation and functioning of CNRS, (ii) Articles L.112-1 et seq. of the Research Code, (iii) Decree No. 83-975 of 10 November 1983, as amended, on the organisation and operation of TINSERM, and/or (iv) UPMC’s missions as set out in the Research Code and in the Education Code in particular in its Article L123-3.

And/or

b) If the terms of the draft licence are contrary to public order and/or morality

And/or

c) the proposed LICENSEE would be in litigation (in a contentious or pre-contentious manner) with any of the ESTABLISHMENTS or SATT LUTECH.

In case of refusal, UPMC or SATT LUTECH, acting on behalf of ESTABLISHMENTS, will have:

· a period of fifteen (15) days following the receipt by SATT LUTECH of the first draft communicated by BIOPHYTIS to notify any refusal to BIOPHYTIS only grounded on points (2.3a) and (2.3c),

· a period of twenty (20) days following the receipt by SATT LUTECH of each draft notified by BIOPHYTIS to notify any refusal to BIOPHYTIS grounded on (2.3b) above.

In the absence of a duly motivated refusal during the aforementioned periods, BIOPHYTIS will be free to conclude said licence with the proposed LICENSEE.

In any case, BIOPHYTIS:

(i) undertakes to communicate to UPMC, acting in its name and in the name and on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS, a copy of any licence agreement concluded with a LICENSEE, within thirty (30) days of its signature;

(ii) shall ensure that any licence granted by BIOPHYTIS to a LICENSEE is compatible and in compliance

with the obligations assumed by BIOPHYTIS pursuant to this LICENSE AGREEMENT with respect to the ESTABLISHMENTS and SATT LUTECH, in particular as regards the scope and the nature of the rights granted and the obligations in terms of confidentiality and accounting; BIOPHYTIS remains liable vis-à-vis SATT LUTECH and the ESTABLISHMENTS for the execution by its LICENSEE of all the obligations incumbent on BIOPHYTIS under this LICENSE AGREEMENT, in particular pursuant to articles 4 to 7, inclusive.

In the event that BIOPHYTIS fails to comply with any of the provisions of paragraph i) or ii) above, the LICENSE AGREEMENT may be terminated at the initiative of the ESTABLISHMENTS or SATT LUTECH acting on behalf of the other ESTABLISHMENTS, pursuant to Article 11.2 below.

2.4 The exclusive nature of the rights granted under Article 2.1 above means that, as of the EFFECTIVE DATE, the ESTABLISHMENTS undertake not to grant a THIRD PARTY exclusive rights over all or part of the PATENTS, in all or part of the SCOPE and in all or part of the TERRITORY.

Each ESTABLISHMENT retains the right to use all or part of the PATENTS alone, with another SIGNATORY or with THIRD PARTIES, in the course of acts performed for non-commercial, research or experimental purposes, with the exception of clinical trials carried out with industrial THIRD PARTIES and any act of commercial exploitation within the SCOPE.

Article 3- TERM

3.1 As from the date of signature by the last of the PARTIES, the LICENSE AGREEMENT shall be deemed to have taken effect retroactively as of the EFFECTIVE DATE.

3.2 The LICENSE AGREEMENT will remain in force (unless in the event of early termination in accordance with Article 11 below), in each of the countries comprising the TERRITORY, until the expiry or invalidation of the last of the PATENTS in the country concerned.

Article 4-EXPLOITATION

4.1 BIOPHYTIS undertakes to exploit the rights granted and to take the necessary measures (including obtaining the necessary authorisations if necessary) to develop, use, manufacture, market, import and hold the PRODUCTS falling within the SCOPES and the TERRITORY or to find one or more LICENSEE(S) likely to develop, use, manufacture, market, import and hold the PRODUCTS within the SCOPES and the TERRITORY, in particular by means of a serious commercial prospection and reasonable development and investment efforts.

4.2 Throughout the LICENSE AGREEMENT, BIOPHYTIS undertakes to provide to SATT LUTECH, acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS, confidential annual reports on the exploitation actions (as listed in Article 4.1 above) related to the rights granted, carried out in the last twelve (12) months. Each report must also include justified projections for the next twelve (12) months.

4.3 BIOPHYTIS shall promptly inform SATT LUTECH, acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS, of any decision by BIOPHYTIS itself or any of the LICENSEES not to pursue the further development and/or marketing of any PRODUCT in any country of the TERRITORY or the exploitation of all or part of the PATENTS. Where applicable, the ESTABLISHMENTS or SATT LUTECH acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS will have the right to cancel BIOPHYTIS’ exclusivity granted in the country(ies) considered or with regard to the rights that have not been exploited.

The ESTABLISHMENTS, or SATT LUTECH acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS, may cancel BIOPHYTIS’ exclusivity granted pursuant to article 2.1 above, if for two (2) consecutive years and in view of projections provided pursuant to Article 4.2 above, BIOPHYTIS has not implemented any of the means necessary for the direct or indirect development and commercialisation of PRODUCTS.

Finally, in the event that the royalties collected (excluding the guaranteed minimums) from BIOPHYTIS pursuant to the LICENSE AGREEMENT, due to NET SALES and INDIRECT INCOME would represent an annual total of less than or equal to fifty thousand Euros, excluding taxes (€50,000, excluding taxes), for a period of two (2) consecutive financial years, SATT LUTECH, acting on behalf of other ESTABLISHMENTS, may notify by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to BIOPHYTIS the immediate and automatic conversion of the exclusive rights subject to the LICENSE AGREEMENT into non-exclusive rights. By express agreement between the PARTIES, this provision may be triggered at any time during the term of the LICENSE AGREEMENT, as of the expiration of a period of six (6) months following the issuance of the a first Marketing Authorisation (or any other equivalent authorisation issued outside Europe by any health authority prior to any marketing authorisation) in respect of any PRODUCT, and in any event no later than the financial year 2026.

4.4 As a co-owner, BIOPHYTIS acknowledges having all the available information regarding the PATENTS, and therefore declares:

· being able to understand and assess the scope of the PATENTS and the rights granted to it under the LICENSE AGREEMENT;

· having the competences necessary to deploy a commercial activity that implements all or part of the PATENTS within the limits of the rights and obligations enshrined in the LICENSE AGREEMENT.

4.5 BIOPHYTIS is prohibited from using, for any purpose whatsoever, including in the context of non-commercial operations, the names “Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique”, “CNRS”, “Université Pierre et Marie Curie”, “UPMC”, “Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale”, “INSERM” or any distinctive feature, sign, name, brand, image, logo or figurative sign belonging to one or both of the ESTABLISHMENTS and any adaptation thereof, as well as the names of the inventors and of any agent of one and/or the other ESTABLISHMENTS, without having received, prior to each use, the written agreement of a legal representative of the ESTABLISHMENT concerned, duly authorised to act in that capacity and, where appropriate, of the natural person.

In order to obtain this agreement, BIOPHYTIS will notify in a precise way to the concerned ESTABLISHMENT, the operation concerned and the form of this representation, its duration and the context in which BIOPHYTIS wishes to use the distinctive feature, sign, name, brand, image, logo or figurative sign belonging one or more of the ESTABLISHMENTS.

Once Connection is given, BIOPHYTIS may reuse of the presentation, publication or communication documents will be possible, without the need for a new agreement. Moreover, the Establishments and SATT LUTECH already agree to the communication of their name or that of their agents by BIOPHYTIS within the framework of the legal and regulatory obligations imposed on it, in particular in the periodical publications with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers [French Financial Markets Authority].

It is understood that, in the event that the ESTABLISHMENT(S) concerned give their written agreement for the use requested by BIOPHYTIS, they may suspend at any time this authorisation in the event that the communication made by BIOPHYTIS no longer corresponds to the one described in the notification established in the previous paragraph, whether in the form, context, geographical location or duration, or if it would result in the degradation of the image of one or more of the ESTABLISHMENTS.

In any case, and even if an ESTABLISHMENT would have given its authorisation to the use proposed by BIOPHYTIS, the distinctive feature, sign, name, brand, image, logo or figurative sign belonging to one or more ESTABLISHMENTS cannot be used by BIOPHYTIS in a manner that, due to the form and/or context used, it may be construed as a guarantee given by the ESTABLISHMENTS to any product or service developed and/or marketed by BIOPHYTIS.

BIOPHYTIS will impose the same obligations on any potential LICENSEES pursuant to Article 2.3 above.

4.6 Any promotion or commercialization action carried out by BIOPHYTIS as regards the rights conferred upon it under the LICENSE AGREEMENT must be done under its own brands or under the brands for which BIOPHYTIS has regularly obtained a licence. SATT LUTECH and the ESTABLISHMENTS will not be entitled to any rights over such brands or over BIOPHYTIS’ customers. All the administrative authorisations obtained by BIOPHYTIS in relation to the LICENSE AGREEMENT will be on behalf of BIOPHYTIS; the ESTABLISHMENTS and SATT LUTECH may not, subject to the provisions of Article 4.7 below, claim any rights over any of them.

4.7 Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 4.6 above, BIOPHYTIS undertakes to provide SATT LUTECH with a copy of all administrative authorisations (including approvals) obtained for the production and/or marketing of any PRODUCT, at the request of SATT LUTECH.

4.8 The quality control of the PRODUCTS developed and/or marketed by BIOPHYTIS and all actions related thereto are the exclusive responsibility of BIOPHYTIS; SATT LUTECH and the ESTABLISHMENTS will in no way be required to provide assistance, unless expressly provided for otherwise in a separate agreement concluded between BIOPHYTIS and any of the ESTABLISHMENTS.

If a PRODUCT is sold in a kit or in combination with other products that are not the PRODUCTS, the NET SALES will be calculated by multiplying the NET SALES of the kit or combination by the fraction A/(A+B) , where A is the price of the PRODUCTS during the relevant year in the country in which the sale took place, and B is the sum of the prices of the other products or compounds of the kit or combination during the relevant year in the country in which the sale took place.

5.2.2 Annual royalties on INDIRECT NUTRACEUTICAL INCOME equal to:

· [****] of all INDIRECT NUTRACEUTICAL INCOME collected by BIOPHYTIS under any agreement concluded with any LICENSEE concurrently with or after the completion of a first multi-centre study relating to any NUTRACEUTICAL PRODUCT;

· [****] of all INDIRECT NUTRACEUTICAL INCOME received by BIOPHYTIS under any agreement concluded with any LICENSEE concurrently or after obtaining a health

claim relating to any NUTRACEUTICAL PRODUCT.

In order to avoid any doubt as to the manner of execution of this Article 5.2.2., the following is stated:

· the expression “completion of a first multi-centric study... “ is understood as the date of signature of the final report of this study by its coordinator.

5.2.3 Annual royalties on INDIRECT MEDICINE INCOME equal to:

In order to avoid any doubt as to the manner of execution of this Article 5.2.3, the following is stated:

· the expression “entry into phase... “ or “entry into a clinical trial phase... “ means the date of entry of the first patient into the relevant clinical phase.

· In the event that an agreement concluded with any LICENSEE relates to several MEDICINAL PRODUCTS in different phases, the annual royalty rate on INDIRECT MEDICINE INCOME applied corresponds to the rate established for the MEDICINAL PRODUCT whose phase is the most advanced.

5.3 Anti-stacking clause

10.2 In the event of an infringement of one or more PATENTS by a THIRD PARTY, or of an unauthorised use, the SIGNATORIES shall consult each other in order to determine by mutual agreement the strategy to be implemented. The PARTIES may sue, at their own expense of the proceedings, the THIRD PARTY concerned, it being understood that the indemnities and damages that may be awarded by the court shall be fully and irrevocably acquired by them.

In the event that a consensus cannot be obtained, each of the PARTIES may carry out the actions that it deems appropriate at its own expense, on the understanding that, in this case, the indemnities resulting from said actions granted by the deliberating jurisdiction will fully and irrevocably remain with the acting PARTY having borne said actions.

Article 11 - TERMINATION - EXPIRATION

11.1 This LICENSE AGREEMENT will be terminated as of right in the event of the cessation of activity, dissolution or liquidation of BIOPHYTIS.

In the event that BIOPHYTIS is the subject of a bankruptcy or liquidation procedure, this LICENSE AGREEMENT would be automatically terminated after formal notice sent to the administrator remaining unanswered for more than one (1) month, subject to the applicable provisions of the French Commercial Code.

11.2 Without prejudice to the provisions of articles 2.3.4.3 and 6.4 above, this LICENSE AGREEMENT may be terminated automatically by one of the PARTIES or SATT LUTECH acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS, in case of non-performance by another PARTY of one or more of the obligations contained in its various clauses, and in particular Article 4 (Exploitation) and Article 5 (Financial Conditions). Such termination shall not become effective until three (3) months after the complaining PARTY, or SATT LUTECH acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS, sends a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt stating the reasons for the complaint, unless within this period the defaulting PARTY has not fulfilled its obligations or has proved that it was impacted by an event of force majeure.

Events of force majeure within the meaning of this Article 11.2 are the events occurring after the EFFECTIVE DATE, beyond the control of the defaulting PARTY, which are unpredictable and uncontrollable, making it impossible for the defaulting PARTY the execute the obligation in question, such as, in particular, the state of a war, riots or natural disasters. It will be the responsibility of the defaulting PARTY to notify the other PARTY and SATT LUTECH as soon as possible of the occurrence of an event of force majeure and of the cessation of the latter. The defaulting PARTY shall make every effort to limit the duration and effects of the event of force majeure and to promptly remedy the cause of the non-performance and resume its obligation as soon as possible. The occurrence of an event of force majeure, subject to compliance with the notification mentioned above within the time limit, will result in the suspension of the obligation in question, provided that the defaulting PARTY will be exempted from its obligation only within the limit of said impediment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of the persistence of the event of force majeure for more than six (6) months, this LICENSE AGREEMENT may be terminated automatically by the complaining PARTY by means of a notice.

The exercise of the right of termination defined in this article 11.2 does not exempt the defaulting PARTY

from fulfilling the obligations undertaken up to the effective date of the termination, without prejudice to the payment of damages due by the defaulting PARTY in compensation for any prejudice suffered by the other PARTIES as a result of the early termination of this LICENSE AGREEMENT.

11.3 In the event of termination of this LICENSE AGREEMENT by the ESTABLISHMENTS or SATT LUTECH, for any cause other than a breach of BIOPHYTIS with the stipulations of article 2.3 above, the ESTABLISHMENTS undertake to take over on their account and to maintain any licence granted by BIOPHYTIS, provided that such licensee THIRD PARTIES are not in default under their obligations.

11.4 Termination by BIOPHYTIS

BIOPHYTIS may decide to terminate this LICENSE AGREEMENT in whole or in part in the following cases:

(i) At any time before 1stJanuary 2020: in the event of a decision to terminate the agreement notified by BIOPHYTIS to SATT LUTECH under this paragraph, the termination of the LICENSE AGREEMENT will not give rise to a specific payment obligation by BIOPHYTIS in favour of SATT LUTECH and/or the ESTABLISHMENTS, other than the amounts remaining due on the date of termination under the LICENSE AGREEMENT.

(ii) At any time from 1 January 2020 inclusive: in the event of a decision to terminate the agreement notified by BIOPHYTIS to SATT LUTECH pursuant to this paragraph, the termination of the LICENSE AGREEMENT shall be subject to payment by BIOPHYTIS to SATT LUTECH, in its capacity as representative of the ESTABLISHMENTS, of a penalty equivalent to three (3) times the annual guaranteed minimum, payable by BIOPHYTIS for the current financial year pursuant to article 5.1 above, but BIOPHYTIS would be exempted in the future by the effect of the termination. However, in the particular case of a cancellation motivated by the rejection of all applications for the Marketing Authorisations requested by BIOPHYTIS in Europe and the United States, with the most recent rejection occurring within six (6) months before the termination notice, the penalty under this paragraph (ii) will not be due.

For the purposes of this LICENSE AGREEMENT, the term “partial cancellation” means the waiver by BIOPHYTIS to the exploitation of any NUTRACEUTICAL PRODUCT or any MEDICINAL PRODUCT; it being understood that in the event of partial termination, the provisions of the LICENSE AGREEMENT will remain fully applicable to the PARTIES with respect to the PRODUCT(S) that are not affected by the termination.

Any termination under this Article 11.4 shall be notified by BIOPHYTIS to the other SIGNATORIES, the termination being effective thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice or upon the payment of the penalty due if it occurs after the aforementioned period of thirty (30) days. BIOPHYTIS shall promptly transfer to SATT LUTECH or to the ESTABLISHMENTS, following the instructions of SATT LUTECH, the developments relating to the PATENT(S) concerned by the termination, within the limits of said termination. By the effect of the termination, the ESTABLISHMENTS and SATT LUTECH acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS will be free to conclude with any THIRD PARTY of their choice an exclusive licence on the PATENT(S) and within the SCOPE(S) concerned by the termination; BIOPHYTIS accepts without reserve the aforementioned concession and undertakes to give on request any signature necessary for the formalization and the enforceability with regard to THIRD PARTIES of this concession

The LICENSE AGREEMENT may be terminated by UPMC or SATT LUTECH, acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS, only if:

· said TRANSFORMATION undermines the missions of any of the ESTABLISHMENTS as set out in (i) Decree No. 82-993 of 24 November 1982 on the organisation and functioning of CNRS and/or Decree No. 2009-1348 of 29 October 2009 on the organisation and functioning of CNRS, (ii) Articles L.112-1 et seq. of the Research Code, (iii) Decree No. 83-975 of 10 November 1983, as amended, on the organisation and operation of TINSERM, and/or (iv) UPMC’s missions as set out in the Research Code and in the Education Code in particular in its Article L123-3.

And/or

· said TRANSFORMATION is contrary to public order and morality,

Without a duly motivated refusal during the aforementioned period, the LICENSE AGREEMENT will continue automatically.

12.3 In the absence of a notification of termination by UPMC or SATT LUTECH, acting on behalf of the ESTABLISHMENTS, as provided for above, it is already understood that the legal entity holding the rights of BIOPHYTIS following the TRANSFORMATION will, in any event, be subject to the same obligations as those incumbent upon BIOPHYTIS under the LICENSE AGREEMENT and it will automatically be subrogated in the rights and obligations of BIOPHYTIS, unless the new parties agree otherwise.

An amendment to the LICENSE AGREEMENT between the ESTABLISHMENTS and said legal entity shall be concluded, simultaneously with the TRANSFORMATION carried out with BIOPHYTIS, in which the option chosen by the new parties in accordance with the previous paragraph will be specified. Under the same conditions, an amendment must also be made to any other agreement concluded between BIOPHYTIS and at least one of the ESTABLISHMENTS relating to any of the PATENTS (for example, any co-ownership regulation as mentioned in Article 8.2 above).

Any other written communication required by this LICENSE AGREEMENT may be made by any written means, including email.

13.2 Should any provision of the LICENSE AGREEMENT be found to be contrary to the law, and therefore void, the validity of the LICENSE AGREEMENT would not be affected and the SIGNATORIES will meet as soon as possible to replace the void provision by a lawful provision of an equivalent effect. Failing to reach an agreement on the wording of said provision, it is clear that the importance of the void clause is such that, in its absence, the PARTIES would have not concluded the agreement; thus, the LICENSE AGREEMENT will be terminated on initiative of any of the PARTIES in the forms provided for in Article 11.2 above.

contractor.

13.5 The LICENSE AGREEMENT expresses the entirety of the obligations of the SIGNATORIES with regard to its object. It cancels and replaces in all their provisions the Exploitation Agreement mentioned in point 6) of the preamble of the LICENSE AGREEMENT and any other prior agreement concluded between the SIGNATORIES having all or part of the PATENTS or their exploitation as its object. No contrary provision on the general conditions, letters, acknowledgements of receipt or other documents sent or delivered by a PARTY may be opposed to the other if said contrary provision was not previously expressly accepted in writing by the latter after the signature of the LICENSE AGREEMENT. It is further understood by the SIGNATORIES that this LICENSE AGREEMENT will prevail over the provisions of the agreements signed pursuant to Article 8.2 above.

13.6 This LICENSE AGREEMENT may be amended or renewed only by an amendment signed by the representatives of the SIGNATORIES duly authorised for said purpose.
