Schedule D
WorkPlan for the Services, Deliverables, Budget and Compensation
This Schedule (“Schedule D”) is made effective as of December 1, 2015 (the “Schedule D Effective Date”) between Annapurna Therapeutics, SAS, a French simplified joint stock company (societe par actions simplifiee) (“Annapurna”) and Cornell University, for and on behalf of its Xxxx and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx Medical College, a New York education corporation (“Cornell”), and upon execution will be incorporated into the Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement between Annapurna and Cornell effective from July 15, 2014 (the “Agreement”). The WorkPlan under this Schedule D shall cover a term of [***] (the “Term”). In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Schedule and the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of this Schedule shall govern. Capitalized terms defined in the Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Schedule shall have the meanings ascribed to such capitalized terms in the Agreement.
1. Services under the WorkPlan; Deliverables; and Budget.
This Schedule D shall be understood to describe the scope to apply for [***] of the WorkPlan hereunder, with the general parameters for each [***] (other than [***]) to be agreed upon no later than 60 days prior to [***] of this Schedule D. Annapurna shall not under this Agreement be obligated to pay any rates or costs for any Services to be conducted or Deliverables to be provided by Cornell at rates or costs that are not materially consistent with those charged by comparable university research institutions similarly situated. The WorkPlan and Budget shall set forth a detailed and full description of all of the work and services to be included within the Services to be provided hereunder. The Parties shall meet at least once per calendar quarter (or more frequently if requested in writing by Annapurna from time to time), to review and update each WorkPlan and the Budget to reflect the desired scope of work and services requested by Annapurna to be provided by Cornell (each, a “Quarterly WorkPlan Review”). For clarity, Annapurna shall not have any obligation to pay for any Services or Deliverables unless such Services or Deliverables were agreed in advance by the Parties in writing as documented as a result of the most recent Quarterly Workplan Review, as reflected in the latest updated WorkPlan and Budget. The failure by the parties to agree on a WorkPlan for any calendar quarter shall not ever give rise to any right of termination by Annapurna. If no agreement can be reached on the WorkPlan as the result of any Quarterly WorkPlan Review, then Annapurna will work in good faith with Cornell to define Services that are in the best interest of Annapurna’s business and within Cornell’s ability to deliver. Services will relate to gene therapy with adeno-associated virus vectors.
Cornell will render to Annapurna the Services set forth pursuant to the WorkPlan for [***] as described below and in accordance with the Budget as described in “Annex A” which is attached hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference and only shall be amended by the parties in good faith discussions from time to time. The WorkPlan for [***] shall be as follows, and any Deliverables will be provided to Annapurna in a mutually agreeable format.
[***]

Further, Annapurna shall have the right to terminate the Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to Cornell if Cornell is otherwise unable to continue to provide the types of services as outlined in the WorkPlan for [***] in a similar or comparable fashion for [***], or if Cornell or the Cornell Project Leader has failed to cure a material breach in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Agreement.
