proposing changes to the Project or the development schedule related thereto
(“Change
Proposal”). Following a Change Proposal, the parties shall
promptly (not to exceed two (2) weeks), determine the financial and schedule
impact, if any, and whether, and with what modifications the proposed change is
mutually agreeable. No Change Proposal will have any contractually
binding effect until formally agreed to in writing by both
parties. KLATU will be paid its contracted hourly rates to evaluate
the effect of any change proposed by CRYOPORT (not to exceed four (4) person
hours of evaluation time without advance written approval of
CRYOPORT). The parties shall then execute an amendment to the
applicable Statement of Work to reflect any such changes.
2
3. Acceptance. If
applicable, within fourteen (14) days after the Effective Date, CRYOPORT and
KLATU shall prepare a mutually agreeable acceptance test plan which corresponds

CRYOPORT shall immediately issue to KLATU a Certificate of Final
Acceptance. If no such Certificate of Final Acceptance is received by
KLATU within such time period, such Developed Software shall be deemed accepted
hereunder. If the Developed Software does not pass the applicable
ATP, CRYOPORT shall promptly provide written notice thereof to KLATU describing
the nature of the failure, and KLATU shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to correct any reproducible error. Upon correction of such error,
KLATU shall send notice of completion to CRYOPORT, and the Developed Software
shall be tested again pursuant to the terms of this Section 3 until final
acceptance is achieved.
4. Ownership and
Licensing. KLATU or its licensors shall retain and are the
sole and exclusive owners of any and all rights in and to the Background
Technology and Developed Technology.
5. Fees
and Payment.
5.1 Fee Estimate. KLATU
shall provide an estimate of fees for each Project, which shall be set forth in
the applicable Statement of Work. CRYOPORT acknowledges and agrees
that KLATU is providing an estimate of such fees only, that such estimate is not
binding, and that it may be subject to change during the course of performing
such Project; provided, however, that, the total fees actually invoiced for such
Project shall not exceed KLATU’s estimate by more than ten percent (10%) without
CRYOPORT’s prior written approval. Estimated fees may consist of
engineering services, prototyping fees, travel expenses or other miscellaneous
expenses associated with a given Project.
5.2 Retainer. An
initial retainer payment for each Project may be due and if required it shall be
stated in each Statement of Work. The contracted hourly rates
applicable to each Project shall be set forth in Exhibit B. If a
retainer is specified, work on such Project will not begin until such initial
retainer payment is received by KLATU.
3
5.3 Weekly Engineering Services
Invoice. CRYOPORT shall pay KLATU its contracted hourly rates
pursuant to Exhibit B for engineering services performed under each Statement of
Work. KLATU will not increase such published rates during the
Project. Each week, or in accordance with agreed upon milestones
which ever is specified in the applicable Statement of Work, KLATU shall invoice
CRYOPORT for engineering services performed under this
Agreement. Payment of such invoice is due within ten (10) days after
receipt thereof. If the applicable Statement of Work provides for an
initial retainer payment paid pursuant to Section 5.2, it shall be credited
against the fees to be paid pursuant to each such invoice in an amount equal to
twenty-five percent (25%) of such invoice, until the total amount of the
retainer has been credited. KLATU will refund to CRYOPORT the balance of any
uncredited initial retainer payment upon the completion of the
Project.
5.4 Prototype Fees. The
prototype fees, if applicable, shall be estimated and set forth in each
Statement of Work and shall be based on average costs of similar projects
performed by KLATU. Third party prototyping services will be invoiced
to CRYOPORT with a thirty-five percent (35%) xxxx-up from the cost of such
services. Internal prototyping services will be invoiced at KLATU’s
contracted hourly rates. The estimated prototype fees set forth in
each Statement of Work shall be due and payable one (1) week after the execution
of the applicable Statement of Work. If the actual prototype costs
exceed the prototype estimate set forth in the applicable Statement of Work, the
excess will be invoiced to CRYOPORT each month during the Project, and payment
on such invoice shall be due within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
invoice. If the prototype estimate exceeds actual prototype cost, the excess
will be refunded to CRYOPORT at the end of the Project.
5.5 Payments and
Taxes. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be
made in U.S. Dollars. All amounts invoiced hereunder exclude any
applicable taxes. CRYOPORT agrees to pay, and to indemnify, and hold
KLATU harmless from, any sales, use excise, import or export, value added or
similar tax or duty not based on KLATU’s income, as well as the collection or
withholding thereof, including penalties and interest, arising from payment of
amounts due hereunder, and all government permit or license fees and all customs
and similar fees levied upon the performance of the engineering services
performed hereunder and any costs associated with the collection of any of the
foregoing.
5.6 Schedule, Parts Availability and
Expediting. Each Project
schedule set forth in the applicable Statement of Work is based on standard
parts availability and normal delivery schedules of KLATU’s vendors. KLATU will
not be responsible for schedule delays caused by parts availability or long lead
time parts. However, if CRYOPORT makes a written request for expedited component
procurement and fabrication, KLATU will use it best efforts to meet earlier
delivery dates and CRYOPORT shall be responsible for all fees and costs relating
to the request.
5.7 CRYOPORT Furnished and CRYOPORT
Specified Materials. KLATU is not
responsible for any deficiency or omission in CRYOPORT furnished or CRYOPORT
specified materials, including, without limitation, CRYOPORT Deliverables. Time
expended by KLATU in isolation, debug or modification of CRYOPORT furnished or
CRYOPORT specified materials, including, without limitation, CRYOPORT
Deliverables, will be charged to CRYOPORT at KLATU’s contracted hourly rates,
provided however, that KLATU shall provide prior written notice to CRYOPORT with
a description of the deficiency with a good faith estimate of the costs involved
to correct the deficiency. Within five (5) business of days of receiving such
notice, CRYOPORT shall either correct or accept KLATU’s written offer to cure
the deficiency.
4
5.8 Travel Expenses. Any travel
required by KLATU employees or its subcontractors in connection with any Project
must be approved in writing by CRYOPORT, and CRYOPORT will reimburse KLATU for
any and all reasonable travel and living expenses in connection
therewith. While traveling pursuant to this Agreement, CRYOPORT will
be billed at contracted hourly rates for the actual time each KLATU employee or
its subcontractor is in transit, to a maximum of eight (8) hours per
day. In cases of multi-day on-site work, CRYOPORT will be
billed, at contracted hourly rates, a minimum of eight (8) hours per day or
actual time worked by KLATU employees and its subcontractors, whichever is
higher, including weekends and holidays.

PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR USE, INCURRED BY EITHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY,
WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR BASED ON A WARRANTY, EVEN IF THE
OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. KLATU’S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE
AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY CRYOPORT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO KLATU IN THE TWELVE
(12) MONTHS PRECEEDING THE CLAIM GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY BY CRYOPORT TO
KLATU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS LIMITATION IS AN
ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND THAT IN ITS ABSENCE THE
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT.
11. Miscellaneous
11.1 Relationship of the
Parties. KLATU
is an independent contractor and is not an agent, joint venturer, partner or
employee of CRYOPORT. The detailed manner and method of performing the services

11.6 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, each Statement of Work attached
hereto and the Commercial Services and Distribution Agreement contains the final
and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
agreements, understandings, and representations. No addition or modification to
this Agreement is valid unless made in writing and signed by both parties
hereto.
11.7 Force Majeure. There shall be no
breach of an obligation under this Agreement (except breach for failure to make
any payment due hereunder) if the breach results solely from a cause beyond the
reasonable control of the party in breach including, but not limited to, acts of
God, riots, revolutions, war, power outages, government acts, fires, flood,
epidemics, protests, lockouts, strikes, or slowdowns, and the need to perform
the obligation shall be suspended by such cause; provided, however, that the
maximum period of suspension is sixty (60) days, after which time performance
shall be resumed or the Agreement shall be deemed terminated, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by both parties. To be eligible for a force
majeure delay a party must notify the other in writing immediately upon the
occurrence of the force majeure.
11.8 Headings and References. The headings and
captions used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be
considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this
Agreement to Sections and Statements of Work will, unless otherwise provided,
refer to Sections hereof and the Statements of Work attached hereto, all of
which are incorporated herein by this reference.
11.9 Authority. The parties
executing this Agreement on behalf of KLATU and CRYOPORT warrant that they have
the authority to enter into this Agreement and to bind their respective KLATU to
all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
11.10 Waiver. The failure
of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision
hereof will not affect the full right to require such performance at any time
thereafter; nor will the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision
hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
11.11 Non-Exclusivity. CRYOPORT
acknowledges that KLATU may be and could be performing services for businesses
other than CRYOPORT including, without limitation, other companies engaged in
businesses similar to that of CRYOPORT. This Agreement shall not
prohibit KLATU from performing services for such other businesses.
11.12 Assignment. Neither party
shall assign or delegate this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior
written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, however, that KLATU may delegate certain of its
obligations hereunder to independent subcontractors; provided, further, however
that either party may assign this Agreement to a parent, subsidiary, or
successor-in-interest to its business (whether by merger, acquisition,
consolidation, or sale of substantially all of the assets of such party) if such
assignee assumes all of the obligations of the assignor hereunder. Any attempted
assignment or delegation in violation of the preceding sentence will be null and
void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to
the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.
11.13 Injunctive
Relief. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
a breach of Section 6 or 7 will cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching
party. Therefore, any such attempted or actual breach shall entitle
the non-breaching party to seek, wherever it deems appropriate, injunctive
relief in addition to all other remedies available.

MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
During
the Warranty Period, KLATU shall use its best commercial efforts to correct any
non-conforming Hardware and/or Software and Documentation or
Revisions.
All units
will be tested by KLATU prior to shipment and should be tested by CRYOPORT upon
arrival. Defective units detected in the CRYOPORT incoming QA
process, where that defect is manufacturing defect in one or more units, will be
replaced by KLATU at no charge if returned within the warranty
period. CRYOPORT must notify KLATU that a failure has occurred and
obtain an RMA (Return Material Authorization) number for the units to be
returned.
Design or
implementation issues will be dealt with in accordance with the following
schedule:
|
Error
Level One1
|
within
5 business days
|
|
Error
Level Two2
|
within
10 business days
|
|
Error
Level Three3
|
on
the next regular release to
|
|
CRYOPORT,
but no longer than 180
days.
|
Among
other things, KLATU's response may include (i) instructions for solving the
problem, or (ii) a bug fix not otherwise contained in a release, or (iii) a
functionally equivalent software package which is free of such problems, or (iv)
a suitable workaround, temporary repair or an emergency bypass, all to the
extent that KLATU diagnoses the problem as a defect in an unaltered, current
release of the Hardware and/or Software and Documentation. It is
expressly understood and agreed by CRYOPORT that KLATU is under no obligation to
include any one or more of items (i) - (iv) in or as part of its
response. It is also expressly understood and agreed by CRYOPORT that
if a claimed error is the results of CRYOPORT's misuse, modification, neglect,
improper installation or testing of the Hardware and/or Software and
Documentation or a problem with hardware or software not supplied by KLATU,
KLATU is under no obligation to correct the problem, and CRYOPORT may be charged
for KLATU's time and materials in responding to CRYOPORT's claimed error at
KLATU's then standard time and material rates. Finally, it is also
expressly understood and agreed that each set of instructions, updated version
and functionally equivalent software package provided under this Exhibit shall
be regarded as the item of licensed software to which it relates and shall
thereupon be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement that
relates to such item.
|

|
Error Level One

performs a function and either causes a loss of data or cannot be easily
circumvented or avoided.
