3.5 Project Change Order Process. (a) The Project Plan may be amended by agreement of the Parties through the Change Order procedures set forth in this Clause 3.5. In the case of a Change Order to a Project Plan, that Change Order becomes the controlling document. Lonza may from time to time notify Customer that Lonza requires approvals or other actions by Customer relating to the Services that do not represent a change in the terms of the Project Plan (each, a “Decision Request”). Adherence to the time-scales set out in the Project Plan is contingent in part on Customer’s reasonably expedient review and response to such Decision Requests. When making a Decision Request, Lonza shall provide Customer with written notice that includes a description of the approval that it is seeking and copies of the requisite documents, data and development paths to which such approval relates. Customer shall respond to each Decision Request notice within the period of time specified in the Decision Request notice (not to be less than one (1) Business Day nor more than two (2) Business Days after Customer has received from Lonza the Decision Request and the requisite documents, data and development paths). Any change from an approved Decision Request shall be subject to the procedures specified in Clause 3.5(b)-(c). If Customer’s decision on a Decision Request affects the Services specified in the Project Plan, then Customer shall issue a Customer Change Request and such Customer Change Request shall be subject to the procedures specified in Clause 3.5(b)-(c).

(b) Any amendments or modifications to the Services specified in the Project Plan shall be set forth in writing in a Change Order mutually agreed upon by the Parties using the procedure set forth in this Clause 3.5. During the Project, Customer may request amendments to the Project Plan to effect changes in the Services specified in the Project Plan. If Customer wishes to make a change it shall notify Lonza of the requested change specifying the change with sufficient details to enable Lonza to evaluate it (a “Customer Change Request”). Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of Lonza’s receipt of a Customer Change Request, Lonza shall deliver a Change Order document that: (i)

* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. OMITTED PORTIONS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

CONFIDENTIAL

assesses the impact of the change on the schedule and price, and (ii) incorporates a description of the requested change and the cost therefor.

(c) Within five (5) Business Days following Customer’s receipt of a Lonza Change Order (“Response Period”), Customer will notify Lonza whether or not it accepts the Change Order. If Customer accepts the Change Order, then the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended to incorporate such change in accordance with the Change Order. If Customer notifies Lonza not to proceed within the Response Period, then the Customer Change Request shall be deemed withdrawn and Lonza shall take no further action in respect of it. If Lonza has not received any notice by the expiration of the Response Period, then Customer shall be deemed to have advised Lonza not to proceed. A separate Change Order will be required for each Customer Change Request but a Customer Change Request may include multiple changes; and each Change Order will become subject to this Agreement when signed by Lonza and Customer. Change Orders shall be implemented as soon as commercially practicable to do so or as otherwise set forth in the Change Order. Customer shall be responsible for payment of any price increase resulting from any such Change Order, which shall be priced as mutually agreed upon by the Parties prior to commencement of the additional services;.

(d) Lonza may not make any changes in the Project Plan without Customer’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lonza may recommend amendments to the Project Plan to effect changes in the services specified in the Project Plan if necessary to respond to difficulties encountered in achieving the technical objectives of the Project or if otherwise recommended by Lonza. If Lonza wishes to recommend a Change Request, it shall notify Customer of the requested change in accordance with Lonza’s SOP and provide Customer with a Lonza Change Request and a Change Order and the provisions of Clause 3.5(b)-(c) shall apply.

4 Quality

4.1 Responsibility for quality assurance and quality control of Product shall be allocated between Customer and Lonza as set forth in the Quality Agreement and in Lonza standard operating procedures. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.

Lonza shall not be obligated to commence manufacture of any Batch unless and until such written purchase order is accepted in writing by Lonza. Any delivery date set forth in Lonza’s written confirmation of a purchase order shall be an estimated delivery date only. All ordered Batches shall be scheduled in a single Campaign in each calendar year unless otherwise agreed by Lonza. Any additional or inconsistent terms or conditions of any Customer purchase order, acknowledgement or similar standardized form given or received pursuant to this Agreement shall have no effect and such terms and conditions are hereby rejected.

6.3 Rescheduling. Lonza shall have the right to reschedule a Commencement Date of any Batch or Campaign upon reasonable prior written notice to Customer, provided that, except as otherwise set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.4.2, the rescheduled Commencement Date is no earlier or no later than ninety (90) days from the Commencement Date originally estimated at the time of Lonza’s acceptance of the binding purchase order for all other Batches. If the Customer requests to change the Commencement Date, Lonza will use commercially reasonable effort to accommodate the request; provided, however, Lonza shall not be obligated to accommodate such a request in the event such change would (i) create an unused manufacturing slot for the Facility, or (ii) adversely impact other projects scheduled for occupancy in the designated Facility.

notify shall not prejudice Customer’s right to reject or revoke acceptance of the Batch if the non-conforming condition causing the Product to fail to meet Specifications could not have been detected by Customer’s inspection undertaken pursuant to this Clause 7.3.1; provided that any such notification shall be provided to Lonza within six (6) months of delivery of the Product; and (c) the warranty provided in Clause 11.1.3 and Lonza’s obligations under Clause 12.1 shall survive acceptance of the Batch by Customer until expiration of the additional 6-month period specified above. In the event that Customer desires to accept a Batch prior to the end of the thirty (30) day period, Customer will provide written notice of such acceptance to Lonza.

7.3.2 Any Batches rejected by Customer are to be returned to Lonza, at Customer’s expense, or held in quarantine and in no circumstances shall the Customer use or destroy the Batches. Customer shall provide Lonza with written notice of rejection of any Batch, which shall specify the manner in which the Batch fails to conform to the warranties set forth in Clause 11.2.

7.3.3 In the event that Lonza believes that a Batch has been incorrectly rejected, Lonza may require that Customer provide to it Batch samples for testing. Lonza may retain and test the samples of such Batch. In the event of a discrepancy between Customer’s and Lonza’s test results such that Lonza’s test results fall within relevant Specifications, or there exists a dispute between the Parties over the extent to which such failure is attributable to a given Party, the Parties shall cause an independent laboratory promptly to review records, test data and perform comparative tests and/or analyses on samples of the Product that allegedly fails to conform to Specifications. Such independent laboratory shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The independent laboratory’s results shall be in writing and shall be final and binding save for manifest error. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by the Party against whom the independent laboratory rules.

7.3.4 Lonza shall replace any Batch (except for an Engineering Batch) that failed to meet the Specifications (a “Failed Batch”), to the extent that it is determined (by the Parties or the independent laboratory) that such failure was solely due to Lonza’s material breach of its obligations hereunder, negligence or intentional misconduct (“Lonza Responsibility”). Such replacement shall be made as promptly as practicable, in light of available manufacturing capacity, after the confirmation of Lonza Responsibility, and in any case as soon as reasonably possible after confirmation of Lonza Responsibility. Where possible, such replacement Batch shall be manufactured with the next scheduled cGMP Batch or Campaign. Customer acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy with respect to a Failed Batch that is a Lonza Responsibility is as set forth in this Clause 7.3.4, and in furtherance thereof, Customer hereby waives all other remedies at law or in equity regarding the foregoing claims. Lonza shall not be responsible for the cost of Raw Materials or Customer Materials consumed in any Failed Batch except to the extent set forth in this Clause 7.3.4.

13.5 Each Party will restrict the disclosure of Confidential Information to such officers, employees, consultants and representatives of itself and its Affiliates who have been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and who have a need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of this Agreement. Prior to disclosure to such persons, the Receiving Party shall bind its and its Affiliates’ officers, employees, consultants and representatives, including subcontractors and External Laboratories, to confidentiality and non-use obligations no less stringent than those set forth herein. The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party as promptly as practicable of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

13.6 The Receiving Party shall be fully liable for any and all breaches of the confidentiality obligations in this Clause 13 by any of its Affiliates or the employees, consultants and representatives of itself or its Affiliates or any subcontractors (including External Laboratories).

13.7 Each Party expressly agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the undertakings of confidentiality provided under this Clause 13 by a Party may cause irreparable harm to the other Party and that money damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to the non-breaching Party for any breach or threatened breach. In the event of any breach and/or threatened breach, then, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and any other relief deemed appropriate by the non-breaching Party.

13.8 Neither Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party, disclose in any manner to any Third Party the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

14 Term and Termination

This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall end on the 7th anniversary of the Effective Date unless terminated earlier as provided herein or extended by mutual written consent of the Parties (the “Term”).

or a Project Plan and fails to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching Party within ninety (90) days (ten (10) days for non-payment) following written notification of such breach from the non-breaching party to the breaching party; provided, however, that such ninety (90) day period shall be extended as agreed by the Parties if the identified breach is incapable of cure within ninety (90) days and if the breaching Party provides a plan and timeline to cure the breach, promptly commences efforts to cure the breach and diligently prosecutes such cure (it being understood that this extended period shall be unavailable for any breach regarding non-payment);

14.2.3 by either Party, immediately, if the other Party becomes insolvent, is dissolved or liquidated, makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or files or has filed against it, a petition in bankruptcy or has a receiver appointed for a substantial part of its assets; or

The rights and obligations of each Party under Clauses 5, 10-13, 14.4 and 16 (to the extent relevant) shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

15 Force Majeure

15.1 If either Party is prevented or delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under the Agreement by Force Majeure and gives written notice thereof to the other Party specifying the matters constituting Force Majeure together with such evidence as such Party reasonably can give and specifying the period for which it is estimated that such prevention or delay will continue, then, except for any payment obligations, the “affected Party” shall be excused from the performance or the punctual performance of such obligations as the case may be on a day-to-day basis from the date of such notice for so long as such cause of prevention or delay shall continue (and the other Party (the “disadvantaged Party”) will likewise be excused from performance of its obligations on a day-to-day basis during the same period). If such Force Majeure persists for a period of [   ]* or more, the disadvantaged Party may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the “affected” Party. Each “affected” Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to correct the Force Majeure Event as quickly as practicable and to give the other Party prompt written notice when it is again fully able to perform such obligations.

15.2 “Force Majeure” shall be deemed to include any reason or cause beyond the affected Party’s reasonable control affecting the performance by such Party of its obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any cause arising from or attributable to acts of God, strike, lockouts, labor troubles, restrictive governmental orders or decrees, riots, insurrection, war, terrorists acts, or, in the case of Lonza, the inability of Lonza to obtain any required raw material, energy source, equipment, labor or transportation, at prices and on terms deemed by Lonza to be reasonably practicable, from Lonza’s usual sources of supply.

15.3 With regard to Lonza, any such event of Force Majeure affecting Services or production performed by its Affiliates or suppliers shall be regarded as an event of Force Majeure.

16 Miscellaneous

16.1 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes at any time illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law in any jurisdiction, such part shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability in such jurisdiction, without in any way affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole in any other jurisdiction.. The Parties undertake to reform any illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision in a mutually agreeable manner with a provision that is as far as possible approximate the intent of the Parties.

16.2 Amendments/Assignment. Modifications and/or amendments of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Parties.

Subject thereto, neither Party may assign its interest under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however that (a) either Party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other Party to (i) an Affiliate or (ii) in connection with the sale or transfer or other assignment of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party or the line of business or Product to which this Agreement relates, provided, that if Customer seeks to assign its interest under this Agreement under this clause (ii), the assignee shall not be a competitor of Lonza, or (iii) in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other form of business combination, provided, that if Customer seeks to assign its interest under this Agreement under this clause (iii), the assignee shall not be a competitor of Lonza; provided, further, that in each instance the assignee expressly assumes all obligations imposed on the assigning Party by this Agreement in writing and the other Party is notified in advance of such assignment. Lonza shall also be entitled to sell, assign and/or transfer its trade receivables resulting from this Agreement without the consent of the Customer.

purported assignment without a required consent shall be void. No assignment shall relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of any obligation that accrued prior to the effective date of such assignment.

16.3 Notice. All notices must be written and sent to the address of the Party first set forth above. All notices must be given (a) by personal delivery, with receipt acknowledged, (b) by facsimile followed by hard copy delivered by the methods under (c) or (d), (c) by prepaid certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or (d) by prepaid recognized next business day delivery service. Notices will be effective upon receipt or at a later date stated in the notice.

16.4 Governing Law/Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed in all respects by the laws of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. The Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of New York. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

16.5 Dispute Resolution. (a) The Parties will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement or the subject matter hereof through consultation and negotiation in good faith in a spirit of mutual cooperation. Such matters will be initially addressed by the project managers, who shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations by telephone or in person as may be agreed. If they fail to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after either Party notifies the other of the dispute, then the matter will be escalated to the Chief Executive Officer of Customer and the Chief Operating Officer of Lonza, or their designees for resolution. They will use reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations by telephone or in person as may be agreed. If they fail to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after it is referred to them and do not mutually agree to extend the time for negotiation, then the dispute will be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the procedure set forth in Clause 16.5(b).

(b) Except with respect to actions by either Party seeking equitable or declaratory relief, any claim or controversy arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof that is not resolved pursuant to Clause 16.5(a) will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”) as such Rules may be modified by this Agreement, by one arbitrator, who will be agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a single arbitrator within thirty (30) days following the date arbitration is demanded, three arbitrators will be used, one selected by each Party within ten (10) days after the conclusion of the 30-day period and a third selected by the first two within ten (10) days thereafter. The arbitrator(s) will resolve any discovery disputes. Either Party may commence arbitration proceedings by notice to the other Party. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, all such arbitration proceedings will be held in New York, USA, provided that proceedings may be conducted by telephone conference call with the consent of the Parties and the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) will apply the laws of New York. The arbitrator(s) will only have the authority to award actual money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due) and, except with respect to a breach or non-performance of any provision of this Agreement relating to Confidential Information, the arbitrator(s) will not have the authority to award indirect, incidental,

consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages, and the Parties expressly waive any claimed right to such damages. The arbitrator(s) also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief the arbitrators deem just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including an injunction or order for specific performance. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof, subject only to revocation on grounds of fraud or clear bias on the part of the arbitrator(s). The arbitration will be of each Party’s individual claims only, and no claim of any other Party will be subject to arbitration in such proceeding. The Parties will share the costs and expenses of the arbitration, but not the costs and expenses of the Parties, equally. If a Party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitration award, or fails to comply with the arbitration award, the other Party is entitled to costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the award. Except as otherwise required by law, the Parties and the arbitrator(s) will maintain as confidential all information or documents obtained during the arbitration process, including the resolution of the dispute. Judgment on the award granted in any arbitration hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the award or any of the Parties or any of their respective assets. The Parties knowingly and voluntarily waive their rights to have their dispute tried and adjudicated by a judge and jury except as expressly provided herein.

(c) Nothing in this Clause 16.5 will prevent a Party from resorting to judicial proceedings if: (i) interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to such Party; or (ii) litigation is required to be filed prior to the running of the applicable statute of limitations. The use of any alternative dispute resolution procedure will not be construed under the doctrine of latches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either Party.

16.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Prior Agreement and the LOI. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. Each party acknowledges that an original signature or a copy thereof transmitted by facsimile or by .pdf shall constitute an original signature for purposes of this Agreement.

16.7 Headings. All headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. In this Agreement references to the Parties are to the Parties to this Agreement, references to a statutory provision include references to the statutory provision as modified or re-enacted or both from time to time and to any subordinate legislation made under the statutory provision, references to the singular include the plural and vice versa, and references to the word “including” are to be construed without limitation.

16.9 Independent Contractors. Each of the Parties is an independent contractor and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute the relationship of partners, joint venturers, nor of principal and agent between the Parties. Neither Party shall at any time enter into, incur, or hold itself out to Third Parties as having authority to enter into or incur, on behalf of the other Party, any commitment, expense, or liability whatsoever.

16.10 Waiver.

During the Term and for two (2) years thereafter, each of the Parties agrees not to seek to induce or solicit any employee of the other Party or its Affiliates to discontinue his or her employment with the other Party or such Affiliate in order to become an employee or an independent contractor of the soliciting Party or its Affiliates; provided, however, that neither Party shall be in violation of this Clause as a result of making a general solicitation for employees or independent contractors. For the avoidance of doubt, the publication of an advertisement shall not constitute solicitation or inducement.
