As previously disclosed, on September 9, 2021, NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with TheraCour Pharma, Inc. (“TheraCour”) for an exclusive, worldwide license to the Company for further development with respect to TheraCour’s research and development of services with respect to treatments for coronavirus derived human infections.
Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company is obligated to make payments to TheraCour upon TheraCour’s achievement of certain milestones defined in the License Agreement (“Milestone Payments”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company shall provide the following consideration to TheraCour based upon TheraCour’s achievement of the Milestones: (i) One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of the Registrant’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Milestone Shares”) (as such number of shares may be adjusted for stock splits, combinations, divisions and other recapitalization events) no later than thirty (30) days after the achievement of Milestone 1 (as defined in the License Agreement); (ii) Fifty Thousand (50,000) Milestone Shares (as such number of shares may be adjusted for stock splits, combinations, divisions and other recapitalization events) no later than thirty (30) days after the achievement of Milestone 2 (as defined in the License Agreement); (iii) One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) no later than five (5) business days after the achievement of Milestone 3 (as defined in the License Agreement); (iv) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), no later than five (5) business days after the Commercialization, provided Milestone 3 is achieved; (v) Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) no later than six (6) months after the Commercialization, provided Milestone 4 is achieved (as defined in the License Agreement); (vi) One Hundred Thousand Milestone Shares no later than thirty (30) days after the achievement of Milestone 6 (as defined in the License Agreement), provided Milestone 5 is achieved; and (vii) either (A) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000); or (B) Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) Milestone Shares (as such number of shares may be adjusted for stock splits, combinations, divisions and other recapitalization events) no later than six (6) months after Commercialization of Milestone 7 (as defined in the License Agreement), provided Milestone 6 is achieved.
On February 13, 2024, the Company and TheraCour amended the License Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides that any yet unearned and unremitted cash awards for Milestone Payments shall not be due and payable until the Company achieves a “Revenue Event”, which is defined in the Amendment as, the receipt of revenue by the Company generated from, but not limited to, sources such as (1) research and development grants, government contracts, non-profit organizations and other sources to the extent that the amount of Recognized Revenue (as defined in the Amendment) is only considered to be the profit portion of Revenue Event, if any; (2) License of third-party development partnerships to the extent Recognized Revenue is considered to include only the profit or retained earnings portion received from such deals (and exclude any at-cost-reimbursements); (3) drug commercialization wherein recognized revenue shall be the amount of gross profit (i.e., net sales less cost of net sales); or (4) other sources of revenue such as gross profits from private contract work. Additionally, the Amendment provides that no more than 50% of the Recognized Revenue shall be applied for remitting such consideration at the time of payment. Further, the Amendment clarifies that financing raised by the Company from the sale of equity, mortgage or debt transactions, and such other instruments shall not be regarded as Recognized Revenue. As of the date of the Amendment, the Company had paid to TheraCour Milestone Payments 1, 2 and 3, and no further Milestone Payments are due to TheraCour.

W I T N E S E T H:
WHEREAS, on September 7, 2021, the Parties entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon the achievement by Licensor of certain milestones, Licensee is required to pay Licensor certain milestone payments as set forth in the License Agreement (the “Milestone Payments”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Adoption of Whereas Clauses. The parties hereto adopt as part of this Amendment each of the recitals in the License Agreement which are set forth in the WHEREAS clauses, and agree that such recitals shall be binding upon the Parties hereto by way of contract and not merely by way of recital or inducement. Such WHEREAS clauses are hereby confirmed and ratified as being true and accurate by each Party to this Amendment.
2. Amendments.
A. Section 3 of the License Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:
3. Consideration and Awarding of Consideration.
(a) Milestone Consideration. Licensee shall provide the following consideration or Milestone Payments as defined in this Section 3(a)(i) through (vii) to Licensor based upon Licensee’s achievement of the Milestones (whether achieved before or after the dates specified); except, pursuant to Section 3(b), Milestone Payments defined in Section 3(a) iv, v, vi, and vii shall not be awarded, and Licensee shall not be liable for such Milestone Payment prior to the occurrence of a Revenue Event or Events, which generate revenue sufficient to fund such Milestone Payment or Payments or portion(s) thereof as described in the procedure in Section 3(b):
(i) No later than thirty (30) days after the achievement of Milestone 1, Licensee shall award to Licensor an issuance of One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of Licensee’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Milestone Shares”) (as such number of shares may be adjusted for stock splits, combinations, divisions and other recapitalization events). The Parties acknowledge satisfaction of this Milestone Payment as of the Effective Date;
(ii) No later than thirty (30) days after the achievement of Milestone 2, Licensee shall award Licensor an issuance of Fifty Thousand (50,000) Milestone Shares (as such number of shares may be adjusted for stock splits, combinations, divisions and other recapitalization events).

(iii) No later than five (5) business days after the achievement of Milestone 3, Licensee shall award to Licensor consideration in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00). The Parties acknowledge receipt of payment of this Milestone Payment, in the form of 331,859 Milestone Shares, in lieu of cash, by mutual agreement, dated October 21, 2023, as of the Effective Date;
(iv) Provided Milestone 4 is achieved, Licensor shall be eligible for the award of cash consideration in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) to be awarded by the Licensee pursuant to the procedure described in Section 3(b);
(v) Provided Milestone 5 is achieved, Licensor shall be eligible for the award of a cash consideration in the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) to be awarded by the Licensee pursuant to the procedure described in Section 3(b);
(vi) Provided Milestone 6 is achieved, no later than thirty (30) days after the achievement of Milestone 6, Licensee shall award to Licensor an issuance of One Hundred Thousand (100,000) Milestone Shares (as such number of shares may be adjusted for stock splits, combinations, divisions and other recapitalization events); and

(b) Procedure for Awarding Revenue Portion for Achievement of Milestone Awards.
(i) Definitions:
(A) “Revenue Event” shall mean, but not be limited to, the receipt of revenue by Licensee generated from, but not limited to, sources such as (1) research and development grants, government contracts, non-profit organizations and other sources to the extent that the amount of Recognized Revenue (defined herein) is only considered to be the profit portion of such instrument received, if any; (2) licensing of third-party development partnerships to the extent Recognized Revenue is considered to include only the profit or retained earnings portion received from such deals (and exclude any at-cost-reimbursements); (3) drug commercialization wherein Recognized Revenue shall be the amount of gross profit (i.e., net sales less cost of net sales); or (4) other sources of revenue such as private contracts work. For clarity, receipts from equity-based investment financing, mortgages, or repayment of loans by the Licensee shall not be considered Recognized Revenue.
(B) “Recognized Revenue” means only the portion of revenue recognized by Licensee after deducting the actual cost of the Revenue Event (i.e., cost of work) from the total amount of revenue received from the Revenue Event (i.e., total receipts) as specified in Section 3(b)(i)(A).
(ii) Frequency of Calculation of Recognized Revenue. Licensee shall calculate Recognized Revenue every calendar quarter to determine the amount of cash consideration Licensee shall pay, if any, to Licensor for any accumulated but unpaid cash consideration for Milestone Payments.
(iii) Award of Recognized Revenue for Milestone Payment. An award of eligible cash consideration for the achievement of Milestones 4, 5 or 7, as defined in Sections 3(a)(iv) through (vii) that are achieved on or before the end of the quarter of calculation of Recognized Revenue, shall be remitted by the Licensee to the Licensor only to the extent that such eligible Milestone Payment would not exceed fifty (50%) of the total Recognized Revenue and up to the maximum of the full eligible (awardable) Milestone Payment as specified in Section 3(a). Any remaining eligible achieved Milestone Payment that is not remitted due to limitations set forth in this Section 3(b)(iii) shall not be awarded until after further Recognized Revenue is collected by the Licensee.
The remittance of applicable portion of Recognized Revenue shall be made by Licensee within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which such Recognized Revenue is achieved.
For clarity, the Parties recognize and agree that Licensee shall not be liable for payment of any Milestone Eligible Cash Awards that are not yet awarded as per this constraint of Section 3(b)(iii).
3
(c) All milestone payments are non-creditable and non-refundable and shall become eligible for award upon the initial achievement of such Milestone and no amounts shall be eligible or due hereunder for subsequent or repeated achievement of such milestone for the same indication. Milestones and Milestone Consideration are separately determined for individual products and for additional indications of the same product.
(d) Royalties and Sublicense Income. Licensee shall pay to Licensor a royalty of (i) fifteen percent (15%) on Net Sales (as defined below) of Licensed Products and (ii) fifteen percent (15%) of all Sublicense Income. “Net Sales” shall mean the gross amounts invoiced by Licensee or its affiliates or any sublicensee on sales or other transfers of Licensed Products less the following deductions, provided no deduction shall be duplicative of another deduction used to determine Net Sales, to the extent accrued, paid or allowed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles:
(i) Normal and customary cash discounts and quantity discounts;
(ii) Sales and excise taxes, customs and any other taxes, all to the extent added to the sale price and paid directly with respect to the production, sale or delivery of Licensed Products and not refundable in accordance with applicable law (but not including taxes assessed against the income derived from such sale);
(iii) Freight, insurance and other transportation charges to the extent added to the sales price of the Licensed Products and actually allowed or paid, and set forth separately as such in the total amount invoiced;
(iv) Amounts repaid or credited by reason of returns, recalls and returned goods allowances;
(v) Amounts repaid or credited by reason of normal and customary retroactive corrections, including price adjustments (including those on customer inventories following price changes) and corrections for billing errors or shipping errors; and
(vi) Normal and customary chargebacks, billbacks, rebates, administrative fees, any other allowances actually granted or allowed to any Person, including group purchasing organizations, managed health care organizations and to governments, including their agencies, or to trade customers, in each case that are not affiliates of Licensee, and that are directly attributable to the sale of the Licensed Products.
No deductions shall be made for commissions paid to individuals whether they are with independent sales agencies or regularly employed by Licensee, and/or its affiliates and on its or their payroll, or for cost of collections. A Licensed Product shall be considered “sold” when billed out or invoiced. Sale or transfer to an affiliate for re-sale by such affiliate shall not be considered a sale for the purpose of this provision if such affiliate is not the end user, but the resale by such affiliate to a third party shall be a sale for such purposes.
4
“Sublicense Income” means all payments or income received by Licensee or its affiliates in consideration of a sublicense or similar right with respect to the Licensed Technology and/or the Licensed Products or any other agreement providing for a right to obtain a sublicense or similar right, including upfront payments and milestone payments, and including (a) consideration received for purchase of equity in Licensee or its affiliates, if related to granting a sublicense, (b) the purchase of any debt instruments in Licensee or its affiliates, if related to granting a sublicense, and (c) bona fide payments made in consideration for future research, development, manufacturing, co-promotion, consulting or other services provided by Licensee or its affiliates related to the Licensed Products, but specifically excluding (x) royalties on the sale or distribution of Licensed Products (or, in the case of a profit-sharing arrangement, net profits and/or revenue sharing payments that are comprised by the profit-sharing arrangement; provided, that such amounts are treated as Net Sales).
(e) Payment of Royalties and Sublicense Income.
(i) All payments of royalties under Section 3 shall be paid on a quarterly basis within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) during the Term in which the applicable Net Sale of Licensed Products occurs. All payments of Sublicense Income under Section 3 shall be paid within thirty (30) days following Licensor’s receipt thereof. Payments made within this thirty (30) day period shall be deemed timely. Each payment shall be accompanied by a written report specifying in reasonable detail the calculation of such payment including, for royalties, a summary of the number, description and aggregate sales of all Licensed Products made and the royalty payable thereon, including a description of any offsets or credits deducted from such sales, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis during the relevant calendar quarter.
(ii) Royalties shall be payable by Licensee, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, from the Effective Date until the later to occur of (A) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of first commercial sale of such Licensed Product, (B) the last to expire Patent (including extensions thereof) with a Valid Claim directed to the Licensed Product, or (C) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivities for the Licensed Product. “Valid Claim” means (x) a claim of an issued, unexpired patent within the Patents that has not been revoked, disclaimed, abandoned or held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction pursuant to an unappealable, final decision and (y) a claim of a pending patent application that has not been abandoned, finally rejected or expired without the possibility of appeal or refiling and that has not been pending for more than ten (10) years from its filing date.
5
(iii) Licensee agrees to keep and maintain such records as it normally generates in the ordinary course of its business for a period of five (5) years showing the sale, use, and other disposition of Licensed Products sold or otherwise disposed of under the license herein granted. Such records shall be kept in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined. Licensee further agrees to permit its books and records to be examined by an independent certified public accountant selected by Licensor, at ordinary business hours with reasonable prior notice to Licensee and consent by Licensee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and not more than once per year. Such examination is to be made under appropriate confidentiality restrictions, at the expense of Licensor, except in the event that the results of the audit reveal an underreporting of royalties due Licensor of five percent (5%) or more in any calendar year, then the audit costs shall be paid by Licensee.
(iv) In the event any payment due under this Agreement is not made when due, the payment shall accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month for the period from the due date for payment until the date of actual payment; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum applicable legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest shall not limit Licensor from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.”

RIDER TO MORTGAGE
BY AND BETWEEN NANOVIRICIDES, INC. As MORTGAGOR and ANIL R. DIWAN, MORTGAGEE
Covering Premises: 1 CONTROLS DRIVE, SHELTON, CT
Dated: November 13, 2023
The Open End Mortgage Deed is hereby modified and supplemented. Wherever there is any conflict between this Rider and the printed part of this Mortgage, the provisions of this Rider are paramount and this Mortgage shall be construed accordingly.
1. This Mortgage is given to collateralize the Open End Mortgage Note (the “Note”) of the Mortgagor of even date.
2. Mortgagor agrees to bear all expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees for legal services of every kind) of or incidental to the enforcement of any provisions hereof, or enforcement, compromise, or settlement of any of the collateral pledged hereunder, and for the curing thereof, or defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, and will pay to Mortgagee any such expenses incurred and such expenses shall be deemed an indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and shall be collectible in like manner as the principal indebtedness secured by this Mortgage. All rights and remedies of Mortgagee shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Mortgagor hereby waives trial by jury.
3. In the event any payment herein provided for shall become overdue for a period in excess of ten (10) days, late charge interest of six per centum (6%) shall become immediately due to Mortgagee as liquidated damages for failure to make prompt payment, and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage. Said late charges shall be computed from the due date after applicable grace periods, if any, to the date of payment and shall be payable with the next installment of principal and/or interest. Payment and/or acceptance of any late charges shall not constitute a waiver of any default. As to the loan with a balloon payment on the Maturity Date, the six (6%) percent late penalty shall not apply to the balloon portion of the payment; but simply to the portion representing the regularly scheduled payment.
4. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact in connection with any of the personal property or fixtures covered by this Mortgage, to execute and file on its behalf any financing statements, or other statements in connection therewith with the appropriate public office. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable so long as this Mortgage remains unsatisfied.
5. In the event of a condemnation, or taking in lieu thereof, by purchase or otherwise, of all or a material part of the premises by any governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction, then the entire unpaid indebtedness including any additional monies advanced hereunder shall, at the option of Mortgagee, immediately become due and payable. The condemnation, or a taking in lieu thereof, by purchase or otherwise, of the whole or any part of the premises, shall not reduce the interest provided to be paid on the indebtedness secured hereby, notwithstanding any statutory provisions to the contrary.
4
6. Wherever in this Mortgage or as a matter of law it is provided that Mortgagee’s consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or the actions of Mortgagee shall be reasonable, the remedy of Mortgagor, in the event Mortgagor shall claim or establish that Mortgagee has unreasonably withheld such consent or approval or has acted unreasonably, shall be limited to injunction, declaratory judgment or arbitration, and in no such event shall Mortgagee be liable for a money judgment.
7. It is hereby mutually agreed that the time of the repayment, accelerated or otherwise, of this Mortgage, when due, as hereinbefore stated, is of unique and specific importance and financial necessity to Mortgagee and is hereby made of the essence. Should all sums due or payable under the Mortgage, or under any written extension, postponement of the due date or renewal thereof, not be promptly paid in full on or before the due date stated or accelerated as a result of default, Mortgagor shall pay and hereby agrees to pay to Mortgagee, interest at the rate which Mortgagor is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay on the unpaid balance computed from said date of maturity to the date of actual repayment but in no event greater than 20% per annum. Said interest shall become due and payable at the same time that interest payments are due under this Mortgage and shall be secured by the collateral hereunder. It is hereby understood that this provision does not constitute a consent or agreement on the part of Mortgagee to extend or postpone the time of such payment beyond the present date of maturity.
8. Upon any default of Mortgagor in complying with or performing any warranty or covenant herein, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee’s option, comply with or perform the same, and the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the rate which Mortgagor is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay from date of such default shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage, but in no event greater than 20% per annum.
9. At no time shall Mortgagor be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Note secured by this Mortgage at a rate which could subject Mortgagee to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum rate which Mortgagor is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Mortgage, or the Note which it secures, Mortgagor is at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and the portion of all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal.
10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the grace period for the payment of any installment of interest is ten (10) days.
11. The entire indebtedness together with accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Mortgagee upon any voluntary or involuntary sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance, or encumbrance of the property or any interest therein, or upon any sale, transfer, or assignment of any beneficial interest in Mortgagor without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
5
12. Mortgagee, in any action to foreclose this Mortgage or upon the actual waste to any part of the mortgaged premises, or upon the occurrence of any default shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver as a matter of right, without regard to the value of the mortgaged premises as security for the indebtedness secured hereby, or the solvency or insolvency of any person then liable for the payment of the indebtedness.
13. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor.
14. The validity and enforceability of this Mortgage and all transactions and questions arising hereunder, shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Connecticut and shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Mortgage shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Mortgage.
15. Mortgagee, its agents, or representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to enter and inspect the mortgaged premises.
16. Mortgagor covenants, represents and warrants, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the mortgaged premises and any buildings and improvements thereon are and shall continue to be (i) free of toxic waste, asbestos and other hazardous materials and (ii) in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations or orders pertaining to health, the environment or hazardous materials. Failure or refusal by Mortgagor to cure any such condition, upon notice shall be a default under this Mortgage.
17. Mortgagor covenants, represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the use of the property complies with all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of all governmental bodies having jurisdiction over the mortgaged premises.
18. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

Such fee shall be paid with the next payment due under the terms of this Mortgage or the Note secured hereby.
