MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT

This Master Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) is effective March 23, 2010, (the “Effective Date”), between Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., 0000 X. Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 United States (“Ventana”), and Clovis Oncology, Inc., 0000 00^xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“Clovis”).

WHEREAS, Clovis researches, develops, manufactures, markets and sells pharmaceutical products;

WHEREAS, Ventana is engaged in business supplying services in relation to the pharmaceutical industry and related industries including providing laboratory services; and

WHEREAS, Clovis wishes to engage the Ventana in relation to one or more projects to provide services in relation to laboratory services, development, validation, clinical studies or related projects and Ventana agrees to accept the engagement on the following terms and conditions.

Now, Therefore, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions and Interpretations

In this Agreement the following expressions shall have the following meanings:

1.1 “Confidential Information” shall mean any confidential or proprietary information of a Party, Data (as defined in Section 7.2) and any other information relating to any compound, research project, work in process, future development, scientific, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, business plan, financial or personnel matter relating to such Party, its present or future products, sales, suppliers, customers, employees, investors or business, whether in oral, written, graphic or electronic form.

1.2 “Party” shall mean Clovis or Ventana as the context requires, and “Parties” shall mean both Clovis and Ventana;

1.3 “Project” shall mean the project or projects to be undertaken under this Agreement as described in each Schedule (as amended from time to time and by written agreement of the Parties):

14 “Services” means the work to be performed and services to be provided by Ventana in relation to each Project pursuant to this Agreement as set out in the relevant Schedule, as amended from time to time, and such other services in relation to each Project as may from time to time be agreed upon by the Parties in writing.

2. Services

This Agreement governs the Services for all Projects and Services at the times and locations specified in the Schedule in relation to each Project. All such Services and Projects will be subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Parties. Ventana shall provide the Services in accordance with the relevant Schedule and to the best of its ability and with the standards of care and skill to be reasonably expected in the field of providing services in the nature of the Services.

3. Additional Services

3.1 The specific details of Services to be provided by Ventana within each Project under this Agreement will be separately negotiated and specified in writing in a Schedule to be agreed upon and executed by the Parties. Each Schedule will describe the scope of work and Project time line and compensation terms. Once executed by both Parties, Schedules become part of this Agreement and are incorporated in this Agreement in their entirety. Each time that the

Clovis MSA 3-17-10

Parties agree that a new project should be added to and come within the scope of this Agreement, the Parties shall prepare a Schedule for such project.

3.2 Each time that the Parties agree that additional services should be added to and come within the scope of a Project under this Agreement, or that the Services should be amended, the Parties shall prepare a revised version of the Schedule relevant to such Project. The revised Schedule shall have added to it a description of such new or amended Services, provisions regarding the financial consideration in relation to such new or amended Services and other necessary details regarding the provision of such new or amended Services.

3.3 Terms or conditions on a Schedule that differ from those in this Agreement take precedence over the terms and conditions in the Agreement only with respect to Services under that particular Schedule, and only where the Schedule explicitly identifies those terms and conditions in the Agreement that are intended to be superseded or modified.

4. Payment

4.1 Fees and Invoices. In consideration for the Services to be performed by Ventana, Clovis shall pay Ventana in accordance with the Fee/Payment provisions set forth in the applicable Schedule.

Project 1: Antibody Screening

1.0 Project Summary

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL

	•		Companies: Clovis

	•		Study Title: Screen hENT1 antibody for suitability on Ventana’s automated system.

	•		Study Identification: Clovis hENT1 BIOMARKER PROJECT

	•		Proposed Study Initiation Date: Feb 2010

	•		Proposed Study End Date: March 2010

	•		Primary Ventana Contacts: ***

	•		Primary Clovis Contacts: ***

2.0 Experimental Plan

2.1 Screening

Ventana will perform the following activities for assays to be utilized in the Ventana Pharma Services Laboratory. Ventana will not necessarily rely on tissues sourced from Clovis. The expected performance criteria for the assay will be clearly expressed by the scientific teams at Clovis and Ventana. It is expected that Clovis will share all appropriate knowledge with the Ventana team to allow determination of which cell lines, tissues etc. will be most suitable for the development and analytical validation of the assay at each stage. These materials could be available from Ventana’s in house resources, shared from Clovis or may need to be procured. Procurement of materials may change timelines and will incur pass thru costs. In Ventana’s experience it is most efficient to identify these needs prior to commencing the assay development. The protocols for detection of hENT1 on Ventana’s automated staining platform which are developed under this contract will be transferred to Clovis. Reagents and kits are not produced from the prototype assays developed under this contract.

2.1.1 Screening

Ventana will screen the monoclonal hENT1 antibody generated by *** for suitability for immunohistochemistry and compatibility with Ventana’s automated immunohistochemistry platforms. This screen will consist of staining appropriate tissue specimens with the antibodies under experimental conditions which, in Clovis and Ventana’s experience, are likely to yield a signal.

If the antibody screening is successful, this antibody will be selected and an automated immunohistochemistry assay for use on Ventana’s platform will be developed and analytically validated.

If screening is not satisfactory then this will be communicated to Clovis and either 1) an additional antibody or antibodies will be screened upon mutual agreement of

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL

terms by Clovis and Ventana, 2) additional assay conditions will be tested upon mutual agreement of terms by Clovis and Ventana, or 3) the attempt will be declared a failure, and an Antibody Screening Failure worksheet will be completed.

Ventana will perform pre-analytical experiments to determine the optimal sample processing procedures (eg type of buffer, fixatives). Ventana will cut additional slides and look at the stability of the hENT1 epitope over time.

If Clavis is able to provide the blocking peptide or the sequence of the epitope, then Ventana will use this in its specificity testing.

3.1 Project Management

*** will function as the Ventana project manager for the Clovis hENT1 BIOMARKER PROJECT. Teleconferences will be scheduled at agreed upon intervals (eg weekly) to report on progress and make mutual decisions.

3.1 Inventory and Maintenance of Records, Slides and Blocks

Upon receipt of cell pellets, xenografts or other specimens from Clovis, Ventana will inspect the condition of the shipment and verify the identity of all specimens listed on the package manifest.

The information provided with the shipped specimens is logged into Ventana’s proprietary Oracle-based laboratory management system (LMS). All specimens will be appropriately labeled, tracked and stored in a secure locked area under proper conditions until analysis.

Ventana will retain under secure conditions all specimen blocks, stained and unstained slides, and documentation relevant to this project for a period of *** years after final payment in accordance with the provisions of the Master Service Agreement. This will include, but not be limited to: all experimental and data handling processes (SOPS); specific notations by which the Clovis data was generated and entered into a database; and the record layout and file transfer format as separately determined by Clovis and Ventana during the testing process. Additionally, notebooks with hard copy results, instrumentation calibration maintenance records for the contract period, specific validation methods and results, and any other records relevant to the project, will be maintained. At the end of this period, Ventana will contact Clovis to determine their requirements for further disposition of all records and specimen materials for the Clovis hENT1 BIOMARKER PROJECT.

4.0 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL

Schedule: Antibody screening of hENT1 will be complete by *** The duration of this project is assumed to be approximately ***.

Unanticipated Delays: The immunohistochemistry process and analyses developed by Ventana involve the use of several instruments and many processing steps and reagents, any of which may fail unexpectedly. The quality controls and assurances in place at Ventana have been designed to identify discrepancies and problems soon after occurrence to allow for a quick response and resolution without impeding productivity. However, there may be unanticipated delays to obtaining high quality data and in delivering data reports because of some unusually difficult problems. Possible scenarios that may cause a delay include, but are not limited to:

	•		Problems with quality, consistency, stability, or supply of antigen retrieval agents from an outside vendor (i.e. ficin) or from Ventana (i.e. citrate, EDTA, proteinase K)

	•		Problems with quality, consistency, stability, or supply of primary antibodies from outside vendor or from Ventana

	•		Problems with quality, consistency, stability of secondary and detection reagents from outside vendors or Ventana

	•		Instrument failure (autostainers, microtomes, automatic cover-slipper, imaging microscope, etc.)

	•		Loss of trained personnel due to attrition or illness

When Ventana experiences a problem that interferes with the generation of reproducible immunostaining and high quality data within the agreed upon timeline, Clovis will receive written notification detailing the issues, outlining the resolution steps, and updating the timeline. It stands to reason that if there is a failure that necessitates a repeated experimental run, additional sections will be needed from the affected specimens in order to complete the study. A tabulation of the additional sections required to complete the study will be communicated to Clovis.

Likewise, in the event that Clovis experiences delays in slide collection, or makes changes in that protocol that impacts Ventana’s responsibilities and planning, Ventana expects notification in order to update its resource commitments and timelines with possible re-negotiations if the anticipated impact is considered significant.

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL

2.0 Study Plan

2.1 Description of Study

Evaluation of hENT1 by an IHC assay in retrospective patient biopsies and a prospective phase II clinical trial of patients with pancreatic cancer

2.2 Sample Procurement

Clovis will procure baseline biopsies from patients for shipping to Ventana for use in this study. Ventana will provide detailed instructions for sample collection, labeling, and shipping will be provided with a supply of addressed shipping containers. A detailed description of tumor collection and shipment kits is provided in Appendix D for inclusion in study lab manual. Blocks and slides should be packed in ice or cold packs prior to shipping priority overnight. If requested as a feature of this agreement, appropriate fixation (formalin) and storage (70% ethanol) solutions will also be provided for specimens. If available, a copy of the original pathology report containing the histopathological diagnosis should accompany each specimen (this will aid Ventana’s scientific reviewers and pathology consultants in their evaluation of the H&Es and in the association of specific immunostaining with disease pathology). Ventana is available to respond to any questions from the site regarding the administrative and technical issues pertaining to preparation of blocks/slides. In the event that Clovis experiences delays in patient recruitment or in the collection of appropriate specimens, Ventana expects notification in order to update its resource commitments and timelines. The desired specimen characteristics are: 1) Tissues fixed in neutral buffered formalin (NBF); 2) Blocks preferable to slides; 3) If slides are supplied, sections must be a) mounted on positively charged slides of the correct type, b) have been transferred to the slide in a water bath (not by tape), c) not have been baked (the slide containing the mounted specimen should not have been dipped in paraffin), and d) stored at 4 C in an airtight container prior to shipment.

A minimum of 2 slides would be required but 5 slides would be desired from each patient to conduct the analysis.

2.3 Accessioning, Processing and Analysis

After receipt and accessioning, specimens will be processed, embedded and have an H&E performed by a board-certified pathologist to ensure that the tissue is suitable for IHC. This will be completed within *** of receipt of the specimen. Ventana will complete testing on Saturday if necessary to achieve the *** turnaround time. However, if the specimen is received after *** from collection, then Ventana cannot be held to *** turnaround. The data report form will be sent to the site and to Clovis.

H&E stain and a positive control stain are used to evaluate the suitability of the tissue for immunohistochemical analysis. The requested staining will be performed as specified by Translational Diagnostics’ protocol #s listed below in Table, including a negative control. An appropriate positive control tissue is included in each staining run, as is a system control to verify system performance.

Data are collected in a format agreed upon by Clovis and Ventana or based on Ventana’s experience.

An appropriate scoring method will be developed based upon the literature and observational studies.

Subcellular localization (nucleus, cytoplasm, and/or cell membrane) of antibody reactivity will also be recorded.

Other methods may be used by Ventana’s pathologists to collect data if agreed upon by Clovis and Ventana. Specimens which are deemed by the pathologist to be uninterpretable will be recorded as such. Pathologists may also add comments for a more thorough interpretation of the specimen and/or staining.

A digital image quantification system may be used. Typically, mean optical density of staining in the expected subcellular compartment (of at least three fields per specimen, if possible) will be measured. Samples may be excluded from image analysis at Ventana’s discretion for the following reasons: staining pattern, specimen size, or condition of specimen. All excluded samples will be recorded as such.

A training set of specimens collected under conditions identical to those of the study may be necessary for algorithm refinement.

Manual pathology reads of staining of positive and negative controls are also recorded. A positive control antibody may be used to measure the following: tissue integrity, consistency of fixation, and/or staining capacity of the sample. A negative control, which may consist of either species matched immunoglobulin or antibody diluent, is used to measure background staining on a given specimen. The negative control may also be used to set the baseline OD for an imaging system.

There are multiple reviews throughout the immunostaining process carried out by Ph.D. or M.D. level staff, with a final analysis by a board certified pathologist.

Image analysis data from the microscope-based image analyzer are entered into the Translational Diagnostics proprietary LMS database. The images of the stained tissue sections that are captured by the analyzer during processing are downloaded to tapes on an as needed basis and stored in a secure location.

The interpretation of biomarker staining by the certified pathologist (percent positive cells and intensity determinations) is hand written on designated data collection sheets. All

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL

reports (written or electronic) and other experimental information or data are collected, verified, signed if appropriate, and stored in a designated project notebook in a fireproof locked cabinet at Ventana.

Ventana will transfer data to Clovis electronically in a format supported by Ventana or data will be burned onto a CD and sent by courier overnight. Ventana will export data from the LMS into an Excel spreadsheet. The Excel spreadsheet will be designed to satisfy Clovis regulatory needs and export will be validated to ensure data export accuracy. Project updates along with any new data will be transferred once a month. Clovis will also receive hard copies of all reports via express mail.

At any time during the study, if data corrections are required because of a Ventana error that is identified either at Ventana or at Clovis, an agreement between the parties will be drafted outlining the protocol and time line for making the necessary corrections. Upon completion of the corrected study or analysis, all data and a regenerated final report will be forwarded to Clovis in the agreed format at no additional charge. All corrected reports will be designated by a version number and date with clear explanation of the circumstances that led to an updated corrected data set being generated.

If Clovis requests a reassessment of a slide analysis that deviates from the standard procedures at Ventana, then upon agreement on the protocol, time line and additional charges, Ventana will make the requested revisions, regenerate the records, and forward the corrected files to Clovis in the agreed upon format. All revised reports will be designated with a version number, date of revisions, and a clear explanation of the circumstances that lead to an updated data set being generated.

2.4 Data Analysis and Report

At the completion of the project, data will be communicated to Clovis in Translational Diagnostics’ standard Study Report Package. A Study Report template is available on request.

2.5 Post-Study Analysis

After Ventana has reported the pathology scores and/or imaging data from the blinded read, a second nonblinded session can be arranged to examine the slides for any quantitative or qualitative information that may pertain to patient response (correlation with other (non IHC) biomarkers, DFS, PFS, tumor regression). A re-inspection of the slides (or subset of the slides) may reveal subtle differences in subcellular localization, morphology, or cell type specific staining which was not apparent in the initial read. Work performed is subject to per diem charges as in Section 5.0.

3.0 Logistics
