If after implementation of such action plan there is subsequently a failure to supply and release at least [*]% of the Batches under accepted Purchase Orders covering any [*] period solely and directly as a result of Supplier’s (i) negligence; (ii) failure to adhere to the terms of this Agreement or (iii) failure to materially comply with cGMP or other Applicable Law, then Company, as its sole and exclusive remedy shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice, including the right to cancel outstanding purchase orders without a cancellation fee, and in such case will be responsible only for paying for services properly performed and non-cancellable commitments of Supplier up to the date of termination. Company and Supplier acknowledge and agree that all Production timelines and target yields are approximate and subject to risks and uncertainties inherent, for example, in technology transfer and the biopharmaceutical industry generally and in the Production materials and technologies. The Company and Supplier agree to negotiate in good faith an appropriate yield target, tolerances and minimum obligation per Batch following the validation of Company’s process and the subsequent Production and release of [*] Batches of Company Product, along with Batch price adjustments (up or down) in the event of a shortfall due to the fault of Supplier or in the event of excess or below minimum yield. All process parameters and uniformity data for the PPQ Batches will be considered in this negotiation. Supplier will be responsible for refunding the full amount of any remaining depreciation on the Equipment and Facilities that Company has funded with the Company Contribution. Additionally, Supplier will be subject to [*]% penalty of the cumulative amount of remaining depreciated values of the Equipment and lost revenues during the failure to supply period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement or any outstanding purchase orders, and Supplier shall not be responsible for any refunds or any of the Batches are not fulfilled to the extent due to Company’s actions or inactions, including but not limited to Company’s failure to supply [*] or Company supplied Materials, or a Force Majeure event.
23.8. Change of Control of Supplier or Company. In the event of the direct or indirect change in ownership or control or corporate reorganization, which results in a new party of group assuming control of Supplier and/or Company, the terms of this Agreement shall continue with both Parties being obligated to continue under the original terms of this Agreement. If modification of the Agreement is desired by either Party after the change of control, they shall negotiate in good faith to come to mutually agreed upon modified terms. If a written amendment is not reached by the Parties, the original terms of the Agreement shall govern.
23.9. Effects of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement:
23.9.1. If requested by Company, Supplier shall terminate the manufacturing of the Product (as applicable), in an orderly manner as soon as practical and in

accordance with a schedule agreed to by Company, unless Company notifies Supplier that manufacturing in progress should be completed.
23.9.2. Supplier shall deliver to Company all remaining Materials (in whatever stage of development or completion), and Products ordered by Company, at Company’s cost and expense.

23.9.4. The sections of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive its expiration or termination, including but not limited to Sections 14.2, 14.3, 17.4, 17.5, 17.6, 19, 21, 22, 23.9, 24 and 25 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, together with any provisions of a Product Appendix that would by their nature survive such termination or expiration, subject to any time limitations stated therein.
24. Dispute Resolution
24.1. Disputes. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may occur from time to time that relate to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 24 if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement. In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the Parties out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, including any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, then upon the request of either Party, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between senior management of each Party; provided that, each Party agrees that any statute of limitation or survival period with respect to such dispute shall be tolled during such discussions. If the matter is not resolved within [*] following the request for discussions, either Party may then invoke the provisions of Section 24.2.

United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the “Federal Arbitration Act”), to the exclusion of any inconsistent state laws. The United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shall govern discovery and the Federal Rules of Evidence shall govern the rules of evidence for the arbitration.

24.4. Decision. A written decision shall be rendered by the arbitrator following a full comprehensive hearing, no later than [*] following the selection of the arbitrator as provided for in Section 24.3. Reasons for the arbitrator’s decisions shall be set forth in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to fashion remedies which would not be available to a federal judge hearing the same dispute.
24.5. Award. Any award shall be promptly paid in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, be charged against the Party resisting enforcement.

The award shall include interest from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate fixed by the arbitrator and the arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, award pre-judgment interest. With respect to money damages, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrator or any court or any other forum to award punitive, consequential, special or exemplary damages.

24.6. Costs. The arbitrator shall assess his or her costs, fees and expenses against the Party losing the arbitration and shall require such losing Party to reimburse the other Party for all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, and so on), provided that any such reimbursement shall not exceed a total of [*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the arbitrator believes that neither Party is the clear loser, the arbitrator shall divide his or her costs, fees, and expenses according to his or her sole discretion, and each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration.
24.7. Injunctive Relief. Provided a Party has made a sufficient showing under the rules and standards set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable case law, the arbitrator shall have the freedom to invoke, and the Parties agree to abide by, injunctive measures after either Party submits in writing for arbitration claims

requiring immediate relief. Additionally, nothing in this Section 24 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding.
