ARTICLE 4

DEVELOPMENT

4.1    Development for Marketing Authorization Approval.

(a)    Marketing Authorization Approval for the First FS US Product, First FS EU Product, and External Products in the US. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to carry out the activities assigned to it under the Development Plan. Acutus shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and obtain Marketing Authorization Approval for the FS Product Line by the FDA in the US (the “First FS US Product”) and for the FS Product Line by a Notified Body in the EU (the “First FS EU Product”, together with the First FS US Product, the “First Products”). The BIO Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and obtain Marketing Authorization Approval for the External Products by the FDA in the US within three (3) months of receipt by Acutus of Marketing Authorization Approval of the First FS US Product; provided, that the aforementioned three (3)-month period shall commence

Page 19 of 60

only after the BIO Parties have received all Development Data from Acutus that is required to file the Marketing Authorization Approval with the FDA in the US, to the extent reasonably requested by BIO Parties. For avoidance of doubt, the BIO Parties have obtained Marketing Authorization Approval for the External Products by a Notified Body in the EU. For clarity, in connection with the foregoing, Acutus shall be responsible for running all Clinical Trials that are necessary to obtain Marketing Authorization Approval for the First Products as well as for the External Products (but only in the US). Except as otherwise agreed in the Development Plan or set forth in this Agreement, each Party shall be responsible for its costs incurred in performing the activities under this Section 4.1(a).

(b)    Marketing Authorization Approval for Products within the FS Product Line and External Products Outside the US and the EU. If and when proposed by a Party or otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, the Parties shall prepare a revised Development Plan setting forth the Party (or Parties) that shall be responsible for seeking Marketing Authorization Approval of any product within the FS Product Line (or any External Product in connection therewith) in any country in the Territory outside the US and the EU. Except as otherwise agreed in the Development Plan, each Party shall be responsible for its costs incurred in performing the activities under this Section 4.1(b). In the event the BIO Parties fail to obtain or maintain Marketing Authorization Approval of any External Product by a Regulatory Authority within twelve (12) months after the BIO Parties have received all Development Data that is required to file the Marketing Authorization Approval for any External Product, or otherwise fails to maintain such Marketing Authorization Approval, in each case in a major market in the Territory, Acutus shall have the right to obtain and maintain such Marketing Authorization Approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that certain Regulatory Authorities in the Territory have a prolonged pathway to Marketing Authorization Approval, and in such cases, the Parties agree that the foregoing twelve (12)-month period shall be extended as needed to accommodate the applicable Regulatory Authority’s timeline for granting Marketing Authorization Approval.

(c)    Delayed or No Approval; Required Post-Marketing Authorization Approval Studies. For clarity, in the event that a new Clinical Trial is required before Marketing Authorization Approval for the First FS US Product or the First FS EU Product is obtained and the JSC approves an amendment to the Development Plan, Acutus shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with conducting any new Clinical Trial as set forth in such amended Development Plan. In the event that additional Clinical Trials are required to be performed as a condition of Marketing Authorization Approval for the First FS US Product or the First FS EU Product, but after such Marketing Authorization Approval is obtained, and the JSC approves an amendment the Development Plan, Acutus shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred for conducting such additional Clinical Trials as set forth in such amended Development Plan.

(d)    BIO Parties’ Review of Clinical Trials. The BIO Parties shall be permitted to review and comment on the design and conduct of any Clinical Trial conducted by Acutus in the Territory for purposes of obtaining Marketing Authorization Approval for the First FS US Product, the First FS EU Product, and as applicable, any other product within the FS Product Line in any country in the Territory outside the US and the EU, where such Clinical Trial involves External Products. Acutus shall consider all such comments received from the BIO Parties in good faith. Acutus shall provide to the BIO Parties, through each Party’s representation on the JSC, updates on a Calendar Quarter basis with respect to Acutus’ proposed design and conduct of all such Clinical Trials in connection with the First FS US Product, the First FS US Product, and as applicable, any other product within the FS Product Line in any country in the Territory outside the US and the EU.

Page 20 of 60

4.2    Standards of Conduct; No Geographic Limitation. Each Party shall conduct and perform all Development activities in support of the FS Product Line (and External Products in connection therewith), in accordance with this ARTICLE 4 and as set forth in the Development Plan, in a good scientific manner and in accordance with Applicable Law. With respect to any Clinical Trials conducted under this Agreement, unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law, there shall be no geographic limitation or restriction on the location of Clinical Trial sites for the conduct of any Clinical Trials hereunder; provided, however, that the BIO Parties shall not conduct a Clinical Trial in the US relating to the FS Product Line without Acutus’ prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; but provided always, that the BIO Parties shall be free to conduct any Clinical Trial in the US relating to the External Products alone and relating to any other product or technology of the BIO Parties (in each case that does not relate to the FS Product Line) without any need for Acutus’ prior approval either written or otherwise.

4.3    Manufacturing Technology Transfer; Other Know-How Transfer.

(a)    Manufacturing Technology Transfer. Within three (3) months after the Effective Date, but in any event no later than 31 December 2019, the BIO Parties shall provide to Acutus, at no additional cost to Acutus, the Manufacturing equipment and the Manufacturing Technology listed in EXHIBIT 4.3(a) and any other Manufacturing Technology Controlled by BIO Parties that is reasonably requested by Acutus during such time period (collectively, such transfer, the “Initial Manufacturing Transfer”). Acutus acknowledges and agrees that it and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall only use the foregoing Manufacturing Technology pursuant to the rights provided in Section 2.1(d) and for no other purpose. Acutus shall further purchase and obtain all such Manufacturing equipment as listed in EXHIBIT 4.3(a) for Acutus to make or purchase. Upon completion of such Initial Manufacturing Transfer, the Alliance Managers shall review and determine whether all Manufacturing Technology has been provided to Acutus. Should any such review and determination identify any deficiencies in such transfers, then the BIO Parties shall promptly remedy same by making transfers of yet to be transferred Manufacturing Technology to Acutus. In addition, as part of such Initial Manufacturing Transfer, the Parties, each at their own cost and expense, shall work together in good faith to translate the Manufacturing Technology, as appropriate, into English for use by Acutus. Acutus shall be responsible for installation of all the Manufacturing equipment transferred to Acutus by VascoMed or made or acquired by Acutus at Acutus’ premises, and shall be responsible for any and all costs in connection with installing and setting up such Manufacturing equipment and implementing the Manufacturing Technology at Acutus. At Acutus’ request, VascoMed will provide a maximum of three (3) engineering FTEs for six (6) months and an additional two (2) manufacturing FTEs for one (1) month to support the Initial Manufacturing Transfer and any subsequent transfer of Manufacturing Technology to Acutus as provided in this Section 4.3(a). If and to the extent additional resources and FTE commitments are necessary other than as set forth above to transfer Manufacturing Technology to Acutus, the BIO Parties shall provide such additional resources and FTE commitments as reasonably requested by Acutus, and Acutus shall reimburse the BIO Parties for its actual costs for such additional resources and FTE commitments. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to facilitate the orderly transition of such Manufacturing Technology to Acutus.

(b)    Other Know-How Transfer. In addition to the transfer of Manufacturing Technology to take place pursuant to the foregoing Section 4.3(a), the BIO Parties shall transfer

Page 21 of 60

and deliver to Acutus, within three (3) months after the Effective Date, (i) the BIO FS Product Know-How (other than the Manufacturing Technology) for the FS Product Line in existence as of the Effective Date, and (ii) any BIO External Product Interface Know-How that is necessary for Acutus to obtain Marketing Authorization Approval by the FDA in the US for the FS Product Line in existence as of the Effective Date, as well as the technical specifications of the proprietary (not the industry standard) Ancillary Product Components listed in EXHIBIT 1.5, (collectively, the “Initial Other Know-How Transfer”). The BIO FS Product Know-How in existence as of the Effective Date (other than Manufacturing Technology) is described in EXHIBIT 4.3(b). Upon completion of the Initial Other Know-How Transfer, the Alliance Managers shall review and determine whether all BIO FS Product Know-How described in EXHIBIT 4.3(b) and the BIO External Product Interface Know-How has been transferred to Acutus. Should any such review and determination identify any deficiencies in such transfers, then the BIO Parties shall promptly remedy same by making transfers of yet to be transferred BIO FS Product Know-How and/or BIO External Product Interface Know-How to Acutus. Following the Initial Other Know-How Transfer, the BIO Parties shall transfer and deliver to Acutus any BIO FS Product Know-How that becomes Controlled by the BIO Parties after the Effective Date through 31 December 2019 that is reasonably necessary or reasonably useful for the Development of next and/or future generations of any product(s) within, use, or Commercialization of the FS Product Line as permitted under this Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to facilitate the orderly transition of such Know-How to Acutus. Upon request by Acutus from time to time, the BIO Parties shall provide reasonable assistance to Acutus to understand and implement all such BIO FS Product Know-How and BIO External Product Interface Know-How; provided, however, that if Acutus requires or requests additional resources or FTEs for the foregoing purpose after 31 December 2020, then Acutus shall reimburse the BIO Parties for its actual costs for such additional resources and FTE commitments.

(c)    Translation Assistance. As part of the Know-How transfer Section 4.3, the BIO Parties will translate the German text included in the BIO Parties’ existing documentation included in the Manufacturing Technology into English for use by Acutus.

4.4    Conduct of Clinical Trials: Use of Clinical Trial Data. In the course of Acutus conducting Clinical Trials as required under this ARTICLE 4 for the purpose of obtaining Marketing Authorization Approval for the First FS US Product and the First FS EU Product, and for the purpose of enabling the BIO Parties to seek Marketing Authorization Approval for the External Products in the US, Acutus shall incorporate and use the BIO Parties’ External Products together with the FS Product Line in the conduct of such Clinical Trials, as further set forth in the Development Plan. The BIO Parties shall supply Acutus with the External Products for the foregoing purpose free of charge to Acutus, and Acutus shall provide the BIO Parties with the needed quantities of the External Products well in advance to any requested delivery date. For clarity, the Parties assume that for each of the three (3) External Products approximately twenty- five (25) units are needed. Acutus shall be responsible for the costs of supplying the FS Product Line for the foregoing purpose.

The BIO Parties shall defend, indemnify, and hold Acutus, its Affiliates, and each of their respective shareholders, owners, officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Acutus Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all damages or other amounts payable to a Third Party claimant, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by such Acutus Indemnitees (collectively, the “Acutus Damages”), to the extent resulting from any claims, suits, proceedings or causes of action brought by such Third Party (collectively, the “Acutus Claims”) against such Acutus Indemnitee that arise from: (a) any BIO Party Liability Undertaking; (b) the willful misconduct, recklessness or grossly negligent acts of any of Biotronik, VascoMed, their Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “BIO Party Indemnitees”); or (c) the breach of any of the BIO Parties’ representations, warranties or covenants set forth in ARTICLE 10; provided, however, except in each case to the extent that such Acutus Claims or Acutus Damages are attributable to any matter for which Acutus is obligated to indemnify a BIO Party Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.2.

11.2    Indemnification by Acutus. Acutus shall defend, indemnify, and hold the BIO Party Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all damages or other amounts payable to a Third Party claimant, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses by such BIO Party Indemnitees (collectively, “BIO Party Damages”), to the extent resulting from any claims, suits, proceedings or causes of action brought by such Third Party (collectively, “BIO Party Claims”) against such BIO Party Indemnitee that arise from: (a) any Acutus Liability Undertaking; (b) the willful misconduct, recklessness or grossly negligent acts of any Acutus Indemnitees; or (c) a breach of any of Acutus’ representations, warranties or covenants set forth in ARTICLE 10; provided, however, except in each case to the extent that such BIO Party Claims or BIO Party Damages are attributable to any matter for which the BIO Parties are obligated to indemnify an Acutus Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.1.

11.3    Indemnification Procedures.

(a)    A Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to either Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 will hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnitee.” A Party obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee hereunder will hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnitor.” In the event any Acutus Indemnitee or BIO Party Indemnitee is seeking indemnification under either Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, Acutus or the BIO Parties, as applicable, will inform the applicable Indemnitor of a Claim as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days, after it receives notice of the Claim, it being understood and agreed that the failure to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 11.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.

Page 43 of 60

(b)    The Indemnitee will permit the Indemnitor to assume direction and control of the defense of such Claim using counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee and, at the Indemnitor’s expense, will cooperate, and cause its Affiliates and agents to cooperate, as reasonably requested in the defense of such Claim. The Indemnitee will have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense.

(c)    The Indemnitor may not settle such Claim, or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in such Claim without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the Indemnitor shall not be required to obtain such consent with respect to the settlement of any Claim under which the sole relief provided is for monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor, which would not diminish or limit or otherwise adversely affect the rights, activities or financial interests of the Indemnitee, and which does not result in any finding or admission of fault by the Indemnitee. Each of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall not make any admission of liability in respect of any Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, and the Indemnitee shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses arising from such Claim.

11.4    Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE IN LAW, EQUITY, CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY, OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSS OF PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR DIMINUTION OF GOODWILL SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, EXCEPT FOR A BREACH OF ARTICLE 12 OR TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS A RESULT OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY PROVIDES INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 11. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING EXPRESS OR IMPLIED IN THIS SECTION 11.4, A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATE, AS APPLICABLE, SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ALL AMOUNTS ACCRUED AND OWING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

11.5    Insurance. Each Party shall secure and maintain in effect, during the Term of this Agreement, comprehensive general liability insurance (including product liability insurance and coverage for Clinical Trials), underwritten by a reputable insurance carrier, in a form and having liability limits standard and customary for entities in the medical device industry in each applicable country within the Territory based on such Party’s activities and indemnification obligations under this Agreement, as applicable. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance promptly upon request.

ARTICLE 12

CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1    Duty of Confidence.

(a)    Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE 12, all Confidential Information disclosed by a Party (“Disclosing Party”) or its Affiliates under this Agreement will be maintained in confidence and otherwise safeguarded by the other Party (“Recipient Party”). The Recipient Party may only use the Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement and pursuant to the rights granted to the Recipient Party under this Agreement. Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE 12, each Party shall hold as confidential such Confidential Information of the other Party or its Affiliates in the same manner and with the same protection as such Recipient Party maintains its own confidential information. Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE 12, a Recipient Party may only disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to employees, representatives, agents,

Page 44 of 60

sublicensees, subcontractors, consultants and advisers of the Recipient Party and its Affiliates to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of, and for those matters undertaken pursuant to, this Agreement; provided that such Persons are bound to maintain the confidentiality and refrain from use of the Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the confidentiality and nonuse provisions of this Agreement.

(b)    Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE 12, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be considered Confidential Information of both Parties and each Party shall maintain in confidence and otherwise safeguard such terms and conditions as such in accordance with this ARTICLE 12.

12.2    Exceptions. The obligations under this ARTICLE 12 shall not apply to any information to the extent the Recipient Party can demonstrate by competent evidence that such information:

(a)    is (at the time of disclosure) or becomes (after the time of disclosure) known to the public or part of the public domain through no breach of this Agreement by the Recipient Party or its Affiliates;

(b)    was known to, or was otherwise in the possession of, the Recipient Party or its Affiliates without confidentiality obligations prior to the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates;

(c)    is disclosed to the Recipient Party or an Affiliate on a non-confidential basis by a Third Party who is entitled to disclose it without breaching any confidentiality obligation to the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates; or

(d)    is independently developed by or on behalf of the Recipient Party or its Affiliates, as evidenced by its written records, without use of or reference to the Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement.

Specific aspects or details of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the public domain or in the possession of the Recipient Party merely because the Confidential Information is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the Recipient Party. Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the Recipient Party merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of the Recipient Party unless the combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of the Recipient Party.

12.3    Authorized Disclosure.

(a)    In addition to disclosures allowed under Section 12.1 and under Section 12.3(c), each Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party or its Affiliates solely to the extent such disclosure is necessary in the following instances: (i) filing or prosecuting Patent Rights as permitted by this Agreement, to the extent approved by the Disclosing Party; (ii) in connection with Regulatory Filings for FS Product Line or External Products; (iii) prosecuting or defending litigation arising from this Agreement; (iv) complying with Applicable Law, court orders or governmental regulations, including rules of self-regulatory organizations and SEC filing and disclosure requirements; and (v) to potential or actual investors or acquirers as may be necessary in connection with their evaluation of a potential or actual investment or acquisition; provided, that such investors or acquirers shall be subject to reasonable obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less rigorous than the terms contained in this Agreement.

Page 45 of 60

(b)    In the event the Recipient Party is required to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by law, applicable court order or governmental regulation or in connection with bona fide legal process, such disclosure shall not be a breach of this Agreement; provided that the Recipient Party (i) informs the Disclosing Party as soon as reasonably practicable of the required disclosure; (ii) limits the disclosure to that which is legally required to be disclosed; and (iii) at the Disclosing Party’s request and expense, assists in an attempt to object to or limit the required disclosure.

(c)    Either Party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement in confidence to its attorneys and advisors, and to potential and actual acquirers (and their respective professional attorneys and advisors), in connection with a potential or actual merger, acquisition or reorganization and to existing and potential investors or lenders of such Party, as part of their due diligence investigations, or to existing and potential licensees or sublicensees or to permitted assignees, in each case under reasonable terms of confidentiality and non-use and to use such information solely for the purpose permitted pursuant to this Section 12.3(c), provided that if such disclosure includes the Exhibits to this Agreement, the terms of confidentiality and non-use shall be no less rigorous than the terms contained in this Agreement.

12.4    Public Disclosures of Data.

(a)    Neither Party nor any of its Affiliates shall, except as may be required by Applicable Law in the reasonable judgment of such Party or its Affiliates and its or their counsel, publicly disclose data or results of Clinical Trials or Nonclinical Studies with respect to the FS Product Line or External Products that have not already been publicly disclosed (whether conducted prior to or during the Term), except as provided in this Section 12.4.

(b)    Publications. Publications of data and results of Clinical Trials or Nonclinical Studies relating to or arising out of Development activities hereunder in peer-reviewed journals or at conferences (“Publications”) shall be made only pursuant to this Section 12.4(b). The Party that generated such data and results shall have the final say to publish such data and results. The Party proposing a Publication shall provide the other Party with the opportunity to review the proposed Publication at least thirty (30) days prior to its intended submission for publication. If the other Party offers no comments on the Publication, the submitting Party may submit the Publication thirty (30) days after it provided the Publication to the reviewing Party (or earlier, with the written consent of the reviewing Party). The submitting Party shall consider the comments of the reviewing Party in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the neither Party shall have the right to publicly disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information without such other Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that this restriction shall not restrict such proposing Party from publication of any Clinical Trial results. Each Party agrees to acknowledge the contributions of the other Party, and the employees of the other Party, in all publications as scientifically appropriate.

12.5    Publicity.

(a)    A press release announcing this Agreement (but not its contents) will be mutually agreed upon by the Parties and shall be released on the Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Except pursuant to exercise of a Party’s rights under Section 6.7 or Section 12.4, neither Party shall issue any other press release or make any other public announcement concerning this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that in the event any Party fails to provide such prior written consent, the Party wishing to issue such press release or public announcement may refer such dispute to the JSC for resolution in accordance with Section 3.4. The Party preparing any such other press release or public announcement shall, if reasonably practicable, provide the other Party with a draft thereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which such Party would like to issue the press release or make the public announcement; provided, however, that a Party may issue such press release or public announcement without such prior review and consent by the other Party if (i) the contents of such press release or public announcement have previously been made public other than through a breach of this Agreement by the issuing Party, and (ii) such press release or public announcement does not materially differ from the previously issued press release or other publicly available information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance may either Party use the name, trademark, trade name, logo or image of the other Party or its Affiliates in any publicity, press release or other public announcement, including on any website or public forum, without the prior written consent of the other Party, other than in exercise of such Party’s rights under Section 6.7 or Section 12.4. In addition, if a Party enters into a sublicense or other agreement with any sublicensee, subcontractor or other Third Party, such Party shall not permit such sublicensee, subcontractor or other Third Party to use the name, trademark, trade name, logo or image of the other Party or its Affiliates in any publicity, press release or other public announcement, including on any website or public forum, without the prior written consent of the other Party, other than in exercise of such Party’s rights under Section 6.7 or Section 12.4. Nothing in this Section 12.5 prohibits disclosure of any statement of fact made regarding the FS Product Line and the External Products used in connection therewith in the course of the conduct of Clinical Trials or communications with Regulatory Authorities.

(b)    Notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE 12, each Party may make any disclosures required of it, including disclosure of the terms of this Agreement, to comply with any duty of disclosure it may have pursuant to Applicable Law or pursuant to the rules of any Governmental Authority (including the SEC or the FDA) or any recognized stock exchange. In the event of a disclosure required by Applicable Law, Governmental Authority or the rules of any recognized stock exchange, the Parties shall coordinate with each other with respect to the timing, form and content of such required disclosure. If the Parties are unable to agree on the timing, form or content of any required disclosure, such disclosure shall be limited to the minimum required as reasonably determined by the Party subject to the disclosure requirement, in consultation with its legal counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if so requested by the other Party, the Party subject to such requirement shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain an order protecting to the maximum extent possible the confidentiality of the required disclosures, or such portion thereof as reasonably requested by the other Party, including any provisions of this Agreement requested by the other Party to be redacted from any filing with or by the SEC or other Governmental Authority or recognized stock exchange.

12.6    Return of Confidential Information. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Recipient Party shall return to the Disclosing Party or destroy all Confidential Information received by the Recipient Party from the Disclosing Party, except for one copy which may be retained in its confidential files for archive purposes.

ARTICLE 13

TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1    Term. Unless this Agreement is terminated earlier as provided under Section 13.2, this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect for and including the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Effective Date and shall continue thereafter for successive additional five (5)-year periods until Acutus provides the BIO Parties with written notice of non-renewal at least one (1) year prior to the expiration of the then-current Term (the “Term”).

13.2    Termination by Either Party for Breach or Insolvency.

(a)    Breach. Either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it under Applicable Law or in equity, terminate this Agreement, in its entirety, if the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) shall have materially breached this Agreement, and such breach shall have continued for ninety (90) days after written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching Party by the Non-Breaching Party describing the alleged breach. Subject to Section 13.2(b) any such termination of this Agreement under this Section 13.2(a) shall become effective at the end of such ninety (90) day cure period, unless:

(i)    the Breaching Party has cured such breach prior to the expiration of such cure period; or

(ii)    such breach is not susceptible to cure within such cure period even with the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, in which event the Non-Breaching Party’s right to termination shall be suspended only if and for so long as (A) the Breaching Party has provided to the Non-Breaching Party a reasonable written plan that is reasonably calculated to address such breach, (B) such plan is acceptable to the Non-Breaching Party, as confirmed in writing, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and (C) the Breaching Party commits to and uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to carry out such plan; or

(iii)    such breach pertains to any breach by Acutus other than (A) failure to timely pay the BIO Parties an undisputed amount due hereunder, or (B) failure to timely issue the shares to the BIO Parties pursuant to Section 8.2 (collectively (A) and (B), an “Acutus Payment Breach”), where in the case of an Acutus Payment Breach, this Agreement shall terminate, and where in the case of any other material breach by Acutus, this Agreement shall not terminate and the licenses and rights granted to Acutus under Section 2.1 that are exclusive or co-exclusive shall convert to non-exclusive, provided, however, (x) all license rights granted to Acutus under this Agreement shall terminate other than license rights pertaining to the FS Product Line, which licenses shall continue only for the FS Product Line, provided, further, that where the BIO Parties (in the reasonable opinion of their legal counsel) are exposed to ongoing liability as a result of any such breach from continuing to provide such license rights to Acutus, the BIO Parties shall have the right to terminate such license rights after discussing the liabilities and related risks with Acutus (and the BIO Parties having determined in their discretion that they still are not comfortable with alternative ways to address these liabilities and risks); and (y) the BIO Parties shall, in their discretion, have the right to elect to cease performing any activity or obligation otherwise required of them under this Agreement or any related agreement (including any supply and manufacturing agreement), and may do so without any liability or further obligation to Acutus or its Affiliates or Sublicensees. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the rights and remedies provided under this Section 13.2 and otherwise in this ARTICLE 13 are not the exclusive rights or remedies available to the Parties, or liquidated damages of any kind, and the Parties may at all times seek any other right or remedy available to them at law or in equity, while remaining faithful to the intent of this Agreement, including this Section 13.2(a)(iii) and the mutual desire of the Parties, expressed herein, to permit the continuation of certain license where practicable to do so.

Page 48 of 60

(b)    Disagreement. If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach, the Party that seeks to dispute that there has been a material breach may contest the allegation in accordance with Section 15.2. The cure period for any allegation made in good faith as to a material breach under this Agreement will, subject to Section 15.2 run from the date that written notice was first provided to the Breaching Party by the Non-Breaching Party; provided, that such cure period shall be stayed in the event that during such cure period, the alleged Breaching Party shall have initiated dispute resolution in good faith in accordance with Section 15.2 with respect to the alleged breach, which stay shall last until finally determined so long as such alleged Breaching Party diligently and in good faith cooperates in the prompt resolution of such dispute resolution proceedings.

(c)    Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety immediately upon written notice to the other Party if an Insolvency Event occurs in relation to the other Party. In any event, when a Party first becomes aware of the likely occurrence of any Insolvency Event that concerns that Party, such Party shall promptly so notify the other Party in sufficient time to give the other Party sufficient notice to enable the other Party to protect its interests under this Agreement.

13.3    Effects of Expiration or Termination.

(a)    Accrued Obligations; Termination Not Sole Remedy. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability or obligation that, at the time of such expiration or termination, has already accrued to the other Party or that is attributable to a period prior to such expiration or termination, nor will any termination of this Agreement preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, with respect to breach of this Agreement prior to such expiration or termination.

(b)    Effects of Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement:

(i)    Except for the license granted to the BIO Parties under the Later Acquired Acutus Technology, which shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each of the licenses under Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 in the Territory shall terminate;

(ii)    Acutus shall cease its Development activities with respect to products within the FS Product Line as well as its Commercialization activities with respect to products within the FS Product Line and any External Products used in connection therewith, in each case in the Field in the Territory;

(iii)    Acutus shall cease to represent in any manner that Acutus Commercializes any products within the FS Product Line and any External Products used in connection therewith in the Territory;

Page 49 of 60

(iv)    Prior to the effective date of termination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a transition plan that sets forth a strategy, financial consideration, and estimated schedule for transition of the FS Product Line (and External Products used in connection therewith) to the BIO Parties in order to seek to minimize any disruption to the Development or Commercialization of such FS Product Line (and External Products used in connection therewith) as soon as reasonably practicable, including any assignment to the BIO Parties (or their designee), of any and all Regulatory Filings made with, and all Marketing Authorization Approvals obtained from, Regulatory Authorities in the Territory specifically relating to any products within the FS Product Line, in all cases, only to the extent such assignment is legally permissible, and to the extent such assignment is not legally permissible, to take such actions to make available to the BIO Parties (or their designee) the benefits of such Regulatory Filings and Marketing Authorization Approval;

(v)    The Parties shall cooperate in informing the relevant Regulatory Authorities of the cessation of the applicable activities in relation to the FS Product Line and External Products in the Field in the Territory and use of Acutus’ Trademarks;

(vi)    Acutus shall promptly provide to the BIO Parties, at no cost to the BIO Parties for items owned by the BIO Parties and at cost for items owned by Acutus, (A) any and all samples of any products within the FS Product Line and Promotional Materials of any kind, including all literature, documents, and training and educational materials, and (B) all Know-How, materials, and other Development Data specifically relating to any products within the FS Product Line, in each case to the extent owned by the BIO Parties or agreed to be transferred pursuant to Section 13.3(b)(iv); provided, that Acutus shall be entitled to retain copies of such items for legal archival and regulatory purposes;

(vii)    No Milestone achieved with respect to any product(s) within the FS Product Line after the effective date of termination shall give rise to any Milestone Payments by Acutus;

(viii)    In the event of termination by Acutus under Section 13.2, Acutus shall have the right to continue to sell its existing inventory of products within the FS Product Line (including those still in production as of the effective date of such termination) and External Products; provided, that the BIO Parties shall continue to receive payments with respect to such sales in accordance with the ARTICLE 8 hereof. In the event of termination by the BIO Parties under Section 13.2, the BIO Parties shall be permitted to sell any existing inventory of such products within the FS Product Line (including those still in production as of the effective date of such termination) that contain Acutus’ name or Acutus’ Trademarks; and

(ix)    In the event of termination by Acutus under Section 13.2, Sections 2.1(d) and 7.3 shall survive the agreement, but only as to Acutus’ Manufacturing obligations, to permit Acutus to supply the BIO Parties for a period of at least twenty-four (24) months following such termination.

13.4    Rights in Bankruptcy.

(a)    All licenses and Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization rights granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of § 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. (the “Code”) and any similar Applicable Law in any other country in the Territory, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Code. The Parties agree that Acutus,

Page 50 of 60

as licensee of such intellectual property under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its protections, rights and elections under the Code and any similar laws in any other country in the Territory. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against the BIO Parties under the Code and any similar Applicable Law in any other country in the Territory, Acutus will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and the same, if not already in its possession, will be promptly delivered to it (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon its written request therefor, unless the BIO Parties elect to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon written request therefor by Acutus following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of BIO Parties.

(b)    All rights, powers, and remedies of Acutus provided for in this Section 13.4 are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers, and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including under the Code and any similar Applicable Law in any other country in the Territory). In the event of the bankruptcy of the BIO Parties, Acutus, in addition to the rights, powers, and remedies expressly provided herein, shall be entitled to exercise all other such rights and powers and resort to all other such remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity (including under the Code and any similar laws in any other country in the Territory). The Parties agree that they intend the following rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, including for purposes of the Code and any similar Applicable Law in any other country in the Territory: (i) the right of access to any intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of BIO Parties or any Third Party with whom the BIO Parties contracts to perform an obligation of the BIO Parties under this Agreement that is necessary for the Development, Manufacture, and/or Commercialization of any product(s) within the FS Product Line in the Territory; (ii) the right to contract directly with any Third Party described in (i) to complete the contracted work; and (iii) the right to cure any breach of or default under any such agreement with a Third Party and set off the costs thereof against amounts payable to the BIO Parties under this Agreement.

13.5    Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following provisions shall survive and continue to apply after expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety: Sections 2.2(b), 2.4, 2.5, 8.7, 8.8, 8.11(a), 8.11(b) (solely for the time period for retaining such financial records as specified therein), 8.12, 8.13, 9.1, 10.7, 13.3, 13.4, 13.5 (subject to the limitations as provided herein), and 14.1(b) (if any such Change of Control involving a Competitive Company occurs during the Term); and ARTICLE 11 (until the applicable statute of limitations has expired), ARTICLE 12 (until the date that is ten (10) years after expiration or termination of the Agreement), and ARTICLE 15. The expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason will not affect any payment obligation under this Agreement with respect to payment amounts that have accrued as of the date of such expiration or termination.

ARTICLE 14

CHANGE OF CONTROL; NON-COMPETITION

14.1    Change of Control.

(a)    Notice. In the event of a Change of Control of either Party (such Party or, if applicable, its successor following a Change of Control, the “Acquired Party”), the Acquired Party shall notify the other Party of such Change of Control in writing no later than five (5) Business Days after the effective date of such Change of Control (a “Change of Control Notice”).

Page 51 of 60

(b)    Change of Control of Acutus by a Competitive Company. In the event of a Change of Control of Acutus involving a Competitive Company, then from and after such Change of Control of Acutus, the following additional terms shall apply with respect to the BIO Parties and any Competitive Company, as follows:

(i)    The Competitive Company shall guarantee, in a separate written agreement with the BIO Parties, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the BIO Parties, all of Acutus’ obligations under this Agreement and the Manufacture and Supply Agreement, including in respect of the Manufacture and supply products within the FS Product Line under this Agreement, as set forth in ARTICLE 7 and the Manufacture and Supply Agreement;

(ii)    The effects specified in Section 1.68 and Section 2.1(a) shall come into force and effect immediately upon the first Change of Control of Acutus involving a Competitive Company;

(iii)    Immediately upon the first Change of Control of Acutus involving a Competitive Company, to the extent any of the Milestones set forth in Section 8.3 have not yet occurred or any of their corresponding Milestone Payments have not then yet been paid, all such Milestone Payments become due, payable, and paid immediately by Acutus to the BIO Parties, regardless of the “achievement status” of any Milestone and regardless of any event or circumstance under or in connection with this Agreement or the Manufacture and Supply Agreement; and

(iv)    Upon the first Change of Control of Acutus involving a Competitive Company, to the extent the then aggregate Unit Based Royalty Payments paid to the BIO Parties are less than Twenty-Five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000), the difference between the then aggregate Unit Based Royalty Payments paid to the BIO Parties and Twenty-Five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000), limited to such amount not to exceed five percent (5%) of the aggregate upfront consideration received by Acutus, its Affiliates or the shareholders of Acutus in connection with the Change of Control of Acutus (such amount, the “Agreed Upfront Accelerated Royalty Payment”), shall become due, payable, and paid to the BIO Parties within thirty (30) days after such Change of Control by Acutus, as an accelerated payment of such royalties, regardless of any event or circumstance under or in connection with this Agreement or the Manufacture and Supply Agreement. For example, if Acutus is acquired for an upfront payment of Five Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($500,000,000), then the maximum Agreed Upfront Accelerated Royalty Payment is Twenty-Five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000), but if instead Acutus is acquired for an upfront payment of Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($50,000,000), then the maximum Agreed Upfront Accelerated Royalty Payment is Two Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($2,500,000).

(v)    Following such first Change of Control of Acutus involving a Competitive Company, each time Acutus, its Affiliates or shareholders receive additional consideration (beyond the upfront consideration) in connection with such Change of Control and the then aggregate Unit Based Royalty Payments paid to the BIO Parties are less than Twenty-Five Million U.S. Dollars then Acutus shall pay to the BIO Parties an amount equal to the following, if such amount is greater than zero (each such payment, an “Agreed Contingent Accelerated Royalty Payment”):

(A) the lesser of (x) five percent (5%) of the aggregate consideration received by Acutus, its Affiliates or shareholders of Acutus in connection with such Change of Control, and (y) Twenty-Five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000) less the then aggregate Unit Based Royalty Payments paid to the BIO Parties; minus

Page 52 of 60

(B) the Agreed Upfront Accelerated Royalty Payment plus each prior Agreed Contingent Accelerated Royalty Payment.

(vi)    The Agreed Upfront Accelerated Royalty Payment and each Agreed Contingent Accelerated Royalty Payment shall be credited against any Unit Based Royalty Payments owed by Acutus hereunder and considered as Unit Based Royalty Payments paid (in advance) to the BIO Parties. For avoidance of doubt, no Unit Based Royalty Payment shall be owed until the aggregate additional Unit Based Royalty Payments that would be paid after such Change of Control of Acutus involving a Competitive Company exceed the Agreed Upfront Accelerated Royalty Payment and Agreed Contingent Accelerated Royalty Payment.

14.2    Non-Competition.

(a)    Non-Competition. During the Non-Compete Term, except pursuant to and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, neither Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall Commercialize any Competing Product in the Territory in the Field; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any entity that becomes an Affiliate through an acquisition of or by a merger with a Third Party. If any such Affiliate is Commercializing a Competing Product, then the applicable Party shall promptly notify the other Party together with relevant supporting information setting forth the status and position of the Competing Product in the market, and the following shall apply:

(i) At the request of any of the Parties, the Parties shall discuss the compatibility of the Commercialization plans for the Competing Product with those for the FS Product Line or External Products. Following such discussions, the Parties shall use good faith efforts to agree upon a mutual written agreement (no later than sixty (60) days after the notice given in the preceding sentence of this Section 14.2(a)) regarding incorporating the Competing Product into this Agreement as a FS Catheter (if and to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b)    Acknowledgment. Each Party acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 14.2 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and constitute a material inducement to the other Party to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party acknowledges that any violation of this Section 14.2 may result in irreparable injury to the other Party and agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance of this Section 14.2.

15.2    Dispute Resolution.

(a)    Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement between the Parties, either Party shall have a right to refer such dispute to the Executive Officers, and such Executive Officers shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve a given dispute pursuant to this Section 15.2(a) within thirty (30) days of referring such dispute to the Executive Officers, any such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 15.2(b) and Section 15.2(c).

(b)    In the event of an unresolved dispute arising under this Agreement between the Parties (including any such dispute that is not resolved under Section 15.2(a) within thirty (30) days of such dispute being referred to the Executive Officers), each Party reserves its right to any and all remedies available under Applicable Law or equity with respect to such dispute, provided, that any such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15.2(c).

(c)    Any unresolved disputes between the Parties relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or any term or condition hereof, or the performance by either Party of its obligations hereunder, whether before or after termination of this Agreement, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in association with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and subject to this Section 15.2(c). The seat of arbitration will be New York, New York, U.S.A, and the arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the English language. Each Party hereby expressly waives any right to object to such jurisdiction on the basis of venue or forum non-conveniens. Any arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. One (1) arbitrator shall be selected by the BIO Parties, one (1) arbitrator shall be selected by Acutus and the third (3^rd) arbitrator shall be selected by the two (2) arbitrators selected by the Parties. The arbitrators shall have no power to change the provisions of this Agreement nor to make an award of reformation. The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered by either Party in any court that has jurisdiction over the Parties or the subject matter of the controversy or claim. The arbitration panel shall prepare and deliver to the Parties a written, reasoned opinion conferring its decision. Each Party will bear its own attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and will pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the administrator and the arbitrators; provided, however, that the arbitrators will be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing Party, and if so, to award to that prevailing Party reimbursement for any or all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the administrator and the arbitrators.

15.3    Trial by Jury. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND FOREGO ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

15.4    Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, and the Manufacture and Supply Agreement sets forth the complete, final, and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions, and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties existing as of the Effective Date with respect to the subject matter hereof, including, the Term Sheet by and between Acutus and the BIO Parties dated 2 April 2019 and the Confidentiality Agreement by and between Acutus and the BIO Parties dated March 29, 2019. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions, or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth herein.

15.7    Assignment. Neither Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, except that without consent of (but with notice to) the other Party, a Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any part hereof (a) to one (1) or more of its Affiliates, (b) to a successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale, operation of law or otherwise, or (c) to any Third Party in connection with any divestiture undertaken to satisfy the requirements of an applicable Governmental Authority, provided that the assigning Party provide prompt written notice to the other Party. Any request for consent to assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any permitted assignee will assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement (or related to the assigned portion in case of a partial assignment). Any attempted assignment in contravention of this Section 15.7 will be void. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

15.8    Compliance with Law. Each Party shall perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with all Applicable Law, including cooperation with tax filings as applicable. No party shall, or shall be required to, undertake any activity under or in connection with this Agreement which violates, or which it believes, in good faith, may violate, any applicable law.

15.9    Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party shall pay its own fees and expenses.

15.10    Performance by Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any right hereunder through any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate. Each Party shall remain primarily liable for any acts or omissions of its Affiliates.

15.11    Further Assurances. The Parties hereby covenant and agree without the necessity of any further consideration, to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all such other documents and take any such other action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

15.12    Severability. Should one (1) or more of the provisions of this Agreement become void or unenforceable as a matter of law, then this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision were not contained herein and the remainder of this Agreement shall be in full force and effect. The Parties will, in addition, use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to substitute for the invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which conforms as nearly as possible with the original intent of the Parties, including, as nearly as possible, the same economic benefit to each Party.

15.13    Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, joint venture, or legal entity of any type between the Parties, or to constitute either Party as the agent of the other. Moreover, each Party agrees not to construe this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, as a partnership for any tax purposes, unless so required by Applicable Law. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other.

15.14    No Third Party Beneficiary Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and the Agreement shall not be construed as conferring any rights to any Third Party (including any Third Party beneficiary rights), except in the case of ARTICLE 11, Acutus Indemnitees and BIO Party Indemnitees, as applicable.

15.15    No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default of other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

15.16    No Construction Against the Drafter; Headings. This Agreement has been prepared jointly. Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning.

15.17    English Language. This Agreement is written and executed in the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version of this Agreement and, in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall prevail.

15.18    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in three (3) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
