(c) Changes Required for Compliance. If during the Term a Change is required to comply with changes in Agreed Standards made by Regulatory Authorities, Applicable Laws and/or other requirements of a Regulatory Authority, or if Miltenyi determines, in its reasonable judgment, that a Change is [***] in regard to the Miltenyi Product generally (in each case, a “Required Change”), Miltenyi shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement such Required Change [***]. However, in the event that a Required Change is specifically related to the use of Miltenyi Product for [***] (a “[***] Required Change”), then Miltenyi shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement such [***] Required Change only if and to the extent Autolus agrees to [***] as a result of any such [***] Required Change. Prior to implementing a Required Change in accordance with this Section 3.2(c), Miltenyi shall promptly advise Autolus as to any [***] which may result from any such Required Change, if any. Miltenyi and Autolus shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to reach agreement on (i) the [***], if any, for any Miltenyi Product which embodies such Required Change, giving due consideration to the effect of such change on Miltenyi’s [***] associated with Miltenyi’s activities required to implement such Change, and (iii) any other amendments to this Agreement which may be necessitated by such Change (e.g., an adjustment to the [***]). For clarity, Miltenyi shall have no obligation to implement an [***] Required Change unless and until the Parties have reached agreement on all items as described in the preceding sentence.
(d) Changes Requested by Autolus. If during the Term Autolus desires Miltenyi to make any Change not necessary to comply with changes in Agreed Standards made by Regulatory Authorities, Applicable Laws and/or other requirements of Regulatory Authorities (in each case, a “Autolus-Requested Change”), Autolus shall notify Miltenyi thereof in writing. Implementation of any such proposed Autolus-Requested Change shall be subject to Miltenyi’s consent. Miltenyi may withhold its consent to an Autolus-Requested Change if Miltenyi reasonably determines that such change (i) does not comply with [***], or (ii) could have potential adverse impact on Miltenyi’s [***] or the [***]. In addition, an Autolus-Requested Change shall only be implemented following a [***] which shall be conducted as promptly as is reasonably possible and in good faith by Miltenyi, [***], and shall be subject to Miltenyi and Autolus reaching agreement as to the [***] and [***] to the [***] necessitated by any such Autolus-Requested Change. If Autolus agrees to [***] as a result of the proposed Autolus-Requested Change and accepts a [***] that reflects a change in Miltenyi [***] resulting from such Autolus-Requested Change, Miltenyi shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement the proposed Autolus-Requested Change. For clarity, an agreed adjustment to the [***] shall become effective only with respect to orders for Miltenyi Products that are manufactured in accordance with the Autolus-Requested Change.
(e) Changes Requested by Miltenyi. If during the Term Miltenyi wishes to make any Material Change not necessary to comply with changes in Agreed Standards made by Regulatory Authorities, Applicable Laws or other requirements of Regulatory Authorities (in each case, a “Miltenyi-Requested Change”), Miltenyi shall notify Autolus in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in Section 3.2(a) and the Quality Agreement before [***] of such Material Change and shall keep Autolus advised of its efforts to [***] such change. Miltenyi shall be responsible for drafting relevant documentation and shall provide to Autolus any information reasonably necessary for Autolus to make appropriate filings with the applicable Regulatory Authority for Autolus to obtain any required amendment or other modification of the [***] regarding changes under this subsection, if applicable. Miltenyi shall implement such Miltenyi-Requested Change [***] and such Miltenyi-Requested Change shall not result in any [***].
(f) Cooperation. In connection with any Change pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Parties shall cooperate, share information, and otherwise act in good faith to prepare the appropriate documentation as may be necessary to secure and maintain appropriate regulatory approvals or manufacturing permits for Miltenyi Product and Autolus Product, respectively.
(g) Continued Supply. Except in the event of a Required Change or other circumstances requiring the prompt implementation of a proposed Material Change (including where prescribed by law or the requirements of an applicable Regulatory Authority), Miltenyi shall continue to supply Miltenyi Product without the proposed Material Change for [***], using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, to make all appropriate filings and obtain any required amendment or modification of existing regulatory approvals for Autolus Product (unless otherwise agreed, such period not to exceed [***] from the proposed date of implementation of the Material Change as provided in Miltenyi’s change notification pursuant to Section [***].[***].), subject to the Parties reaching agreement, except with respect to any Miltenyi-Requested Change, as to the [***] necessitated by any such continued supply of unchanged Miltenyi Product during such period. If the continued supply of unchanged Miltenyi Product is reasonably estimated by the Parties to exceed a period of [***] from the implementation date of the Material Change notified pursuant to Section [***].[***]., then the Party shall promptly meet to discuss in good faith how to remedy the situation. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subsection (g), in the event that Autolus reasonably determines to reject a proposed Material Change (including a Miltenyi-Requested Change), Miltenyi agrees to continue to supply the applicable Miltenyi Product without such change after expiry of the said [***] period and during the Term of this Agreement or until Autolus has secured an alternate source of supply from a Third Party manufacturer; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to Miltenyi’s continuing obligation to supply unchanged Miltenyi Product after expiry of the said [***] period, this Agreement shall have first been amended, by mutual written agreement between the Parties, as appropriate to reflect the change in circumstances contemplated by this Section [***]. and any [***] (if any) resulting from the manufacture of unchanged Miltenyi Product solely for Autolus, including any applicable adjustments to [***] or other relevant issues. For clarity, in no event shall Miltenyi be required to manufacture, supply or sell a Miltenyi Product to which a Required Change is applicable.

4.4 Extension of Scope, Supplemental Services. With respect to any Autolus Product, Autolus may request that Miltenyi provide additional regulatory assistance beyond the scope of the Regulatory Work, and/or may request that Miltenyi perform additional services (i.e., the generation of additional supportive data for inclusion in a Master File for Miltenyi Product) that alter, amend, add to and/or supplement the Regulatory Work. Autolus shall submit each such request to Miltenyi with reasonable detail in writing. Any request that constitutes a material modification or increase in scope of the Regulatory Work or an agreement for the provision of additional services shall require a written amendment to this Agreement signed by authorized representatives of both Parties. Such amendment shall specify in detail any modification or scope change of the Regulatory Work performed by Miltenyi, the appropriate compensation (if any) or basis for such compensation to be paid to Miltenyi by Autolus for the performance of such additional Regulatory Work assistance or services, and the appropriate time schedule for completion of such additional Regulatory Work assistance or services. Upon executing such written amendment, the additional Regulatory Work assistance or services shall be deemed included within Regulatory Work and subject to the standards of performance described in this Agreement.
4.5 Master Files; Right to Cross Reference. Upon Autolus’ written request, Miltenyi shall submit a cross reference letter to an appropriate Regulatory Authority authorizing such Regulatory Authority to access and refer to any existing Master File(s) for the relevant Miltenyi Product(s) to the extent such information is reasonably required for regulatory purposes to obtain the applicable regulatory approvals for the Permitted Use of the Miltenyi Product(s); provided, however, that Autolus shall first provide to Miltenyi all necessary information about such Autolus Product that is reasonably included in such cross reference letter.

4.7 Communication to/from Regulatory Authorities.
(a) Communication from Regulatory Authorities. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any material communication from any Regulatory Authority that is related specifically to (i) the safety and/or functionality of any Miltenyi Product(s) and/or the use thereof for the manufacture of Autolus Product or (ii) the safety and/or functionality of any Autolus Product(s) as the same relate or could relate to the use of Miltenyi Product(s) in their manufacture, and that would, in each case of (i) and (ii), reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on either Party’s products that are the subject matter of this Agreement, or ability of a Party to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (collectively, “Communication(s)”). Each Party shall, as soon as practicable after any contact with or receipt of any Communication, forward a copy or description of the same (to the extent it so relates) to the other Party. Each Party reserves the right to redact its Confidential Information and confidential Third Party information from such Communications. Each Party shall obligate its Affiliates and Subcontractors accordingly.
(b) Communication to Regulatory Authorities. In the event that a response to a Regulatory Authority is required in connection with any Communication, Autolus shall have sole responsibility for the form and content of any response to a Communication from a Regulatory Authority in connection with any regulatory submission regarding a Autolus Product, or any non-Miltenyi Product component thereof, and any non-product-specific information and/or non-procedure-specific information related to Autolus, and Miltenyi shall have sole responsibility for the form and content of any response to a Communication from a Regulatory Authority regarding a Miltenyi Product or any component thereof, the Master Files, and any non-product specific information related to Miltenyi. At the responding Party’s reasonable request and expense, the other Party shall collaborate in good faith with the responding Party in preparing such responses and, subject to Sections 4.5 and 4.6, shall provide the responding Party with information that the responding Party reasonably believes is required to develop a requested response for questions in relation to such Communication.
(c) Required Communications. If Autolus is required to communicate with any Regulatory Authority specifically regarding any Miltenyi Product, then Autolus shall so advise Miltenyi as soon as practicable and, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, or to the extent that such a disclosure would result in the violation of any contractual obligations to a Third Party, provide Miltenyi in advance with a copy of any proposed written Communication with such Regulatory Authority to the extent that such Communication pertains to Miltenyi Products; provided that Autolus reserves the right to redact its Confidential Information and confidential Third Party information from such copy. Autolus shall use reasonable efforts to comply with all reasonable direction of Miltenyi pertaining to the foregoing. To the extent permitted by the Regulatory Authority, Miltenyi shall have the right to participate in any planned oral Communications or meetings between Autolus and any Regulatory Authority specifically relating to Miltenyi Products or Miltenyi Technology. For purposes of clarification, the obligations imposed on Autolus pursuant to this Section 4.7(c) shall not apply with respect to Communications with Regulatory Authorities that are focused primarily on a non-Miltenyi Product portions or on an Autolus Product.
4.8 Assistance. Miltenyi shall, if requested by Autolus, consult with and provide reasonable assistance to Autolus with regard to regulatory matters concerning the Miltenyi Products, as appropriate, provided that for any assistance regarding regulatory matters that is beyond the scope of standard use of the Miltenyi Products as made available in Miltenyi’s catalogue, Autolus shall pay for Miltenyi’s time for such consulting and assistance at Miltenyi’s then-standard rates, which scope and limits shall be discussed between the Parties and mutually agreed in writing prior to the performance of the assistance by Miltenyi (subject to

Absent Miltenyi’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Autolus shall bear all responsibility for Autolus’ or Autolus Subcontractors’ use of information provided by Miltenyi (including use in regulatory filings and any Third Party liability) pursuant to this Section 4.8.
4.9 Additional Filings. Autolus acknowledges that, as of the Effective Date, Master Files have been filed in the countries and jurisdictions listed in Exhibit B. If Autolus desires to pursue clinical trials, use Miltenyi Products in the manufacture, or pursue commercialization of any Autolus Product in any jurisdiction or country that is not listed in Exhibit B where Miltenyi does not then have an active Master File, and if Autolus would not legally be able to conduct such evaluation or commercialization without Miltenyi filing a Master File or making necessary information available to the Regulatory Authority in such jurisdiction or country (each an “Additional Country”), then Autolus shall so notify Miltenyi. Upon receipt of such notice by Miltenyi, the Parties shall evaluate the regulatory requirements for such development, manufacture or commercialization of Autolus Products in such Additional Countries. Based on the assessment of potentially required additional work (“Additional Work”), including but not limited to any activities as may be required to prepare and file Master Files for Miltenyi Products to support Autolus Product filings in one or more Additional Countries, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and mutually agree upon reasonable terms and conditions to execute such Additional Work. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, upon receipt of a corresponding notice from Autolus pursuant to this Section 4.9, Miltenyi agrees to file Master Files or providing necessary information to the Regulatory Authority in [***] (each a “Future Country”) without any additional terms and conditions or compensation, and agrees to undertake the Additional Work in any other Additional Country if Autolus agrees to pay Miltenyi the costs incurred by Miltenyi in connection therewith.
4.10 Disclaimer. Except as provided in this Article 4 or otherwise in the Agreement, Miltenyi provides no warranty that any Master File or other regulatory dossier or submission by Miltenyi or Autolus shall be approved by any Regulatory Authority. Miltenyi shall in no way be held responsible for any refusal by any Regulatory Authority or ethics committee to grant permission to conduct a clinical trial(s) and/or for any refusal by any Regulatory Authority to grant approval under an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) or under a Biological License Application (BLA) or for compassionate use for a Autolus Product.
ARTICLE 5 FORECASTS AND ORDERS
5.1 Forecasts. In order to assist Miltenyi with its capacity, procurement and production planning, Autolus agrees to provide Miltenyi with rolling forecasts of Autolus’ (and its Affiliates’, Subcontractors’, and Licensees’) anticipated requirements for Miltenyi Products during the Term of this Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.1 (each, a “Forecast”). All of the Forecasts provided under this Agreement shall break down the demand of Miltenyi Products on a product-by-product (expressed in number of units or lots) and country-by-country basis. All Forecasts provided by Autolus shall be good faith estimates of Autolus’ anticipated requirements for Miltenyi Products during the relevant period. Autolus agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in preparing all Forecasts provided hereunder to minimize variances between Forecasts. Each Forecast shall be duly signed by an authorized representative of Autolus (or Autolus’ designee on behalf of Autolus) and submitted in writing to Miltenyi, by mail or facsimile, and shall supersede prior Forecasts to the extent the Forecast overlaps with prior Forecasts. Each initial Forecast to be provided by Autolus under clauses (a) through (c) below shall be subject to Miltenyi’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which it will endeavor to provide within [***] Business Days of receipt of the initial Forecasts from Autolus.

(d) Forecasts Due Periodically. In the event that Miltenyi has failed to receive an updated Forecast for any relevant forecast period within the times or by the dates provided in clauses (a) through (c) above, Miltenyi shall notify Autolus of such failure and, if Autolus fails to respond with an updated Forecast by the [***] Business Day of the relevant forecast period, the most recent Forecast shall be regarded as current.
(e) Acceptable Forecast Variance. Outside the Firm Zone, Autolus may increase or decrease the amount of Miltenyi Product forecast for each Calendar [***] of each [***] Forecast by up to [***] percent ([***]%) of the Miltenyi Product that was forecast for the comparable Calendar [***] in the prior [***] Forecast provided in accordance with this Agreement, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis (e.g., the forecast for the [***] Calendar [***] in a [***] Forecast may not increase or decrease by more than [***]% the amount of any particular Miltenyi Product in any particular country forecast for the [***] Calendar [***] of the prior [***] Forecast). For clarity, variances with respect to forecasts submitted for any Calendar [***] within the Firm Zone shall not be acceptable.
5.2 Volume Limitations. Subject to Autolus’ adherence to its Forecast obligations pursuant to Section 5.1 above, Miltenyi shall meet the demands of any Purchase Orders (as defined below) that are made by Autolus in compliance with the binding Forecasts. Miltenyi shall not be obligated to supply Autolus with quantities of Miltenyi Product in excess of [***] percent ([***]%) of the most recent Forecast provided to Miltenyi but agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy Autolus’ requirement of Miltenyi Product in excess of [***] percent ([***]%) of the relevant Forecast quantities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Principal Terms.
(1) In the event of a Supply Failure (as defined in clause (2) below), Autolus shall have the option to request Miltenyi to establish, as soon as reasonably feasible and at [***], a Secondary Location reasonably capable of making up the Supply Failure of the affected Miltenyi Product (the “Affected Miltenyi Product”), and if Miltenyi should either (i) notify Autolus in writing that it is not [***] to establish a Secondary Location, or (ii) should not have established such Secondary Location and made up the Supply Failure within a reasonable period of time with regard to the Affected Miltenyi Product from receipt of Autolus’ written request therefore, then Autolus shall, at [***], have the right to select, qualify, and maintain an additional second source manufacturing facility as a back-up manufacturing facility for the Affected Miltenyi Products at the premises of a Third Party (the “Second-Source Supplier”). In the event that Autolus elects to qualify a Second-Source Supplier for an Affected Miltenyi Product, it shall provide Miltenyi with prior written notice to including such details as Miltenyi reasonably requires to assess the qualifications of such Second-Source Supplier. Any such Second-Source Supplier shall be subject to the prior written consent of Miltenyi, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as necessary in Miltenyi’s reasonable judgment to protect the bona fide and legitimate interests of Miltenyi in [***] (e.g., by [***]). If Miltenyi so withholds its consent, it shall propose alternative Second-Source Suppliers reasonably acceptable to Autolus. If the Parties fail to identify a mutually acceptable Second-Source Supplier within [***], Autolus may proceed with an alternative Second-Source Supplier of its choice ([***]) [***].
(2) For purposes hereof, each of the following events shall be deemed a “Supply Failure”:
(i) if Miltenyi [***] (on a [***]) of an accepted Purchase Order of Miltenyi Product placed by Autolus in accordance with the binding Forecast in accordance with Section 5.1 [***] therefor (whether by reason of [***] or otherwise) more than [***]; and

For the avoidance of doubt, a Second-Source Supplier’s [***] under this subsection (4) shall not permit the [***] of any Miltenyi Product that is not subject to Supply Failure. A Second-Source Supplier’s [***] hereunder shall subsist until such time as Miltenyi and Autolus reach agreement on [***] which shall, inter alia, take into consideration: (i) Miltenyi’s interest in [***] over the manufacture of Miltenyi Products, (ii) Autolus’ interest in [***] of the Affected Miltenyi Product(s), (iii) the costs incurred [***] in establishing the Second-Source Supplier to rectify the applicable Supply Failure, (iv) the avoidance of potential adverse effects ([***]) that may result from the transfer of manufacturing [***], and (v) the appropriate sharing of costs resulting from the Supply Failure.

Acceptance testing shall be performed in accordance with the Autolus-approved quality control testing procedures that shall be set forth in the Product Specifications or, the Quality Agreement, as applicable (the “Testing Methods”).
7.2 Rejection. Autolus or its designee shall have the right to reject any shipment of Miltenyi Products that does not conform with the applicable Miltenyi Product Warranty at the time of Delivery when tested in accordance with the Testing Methods (each, a “Rejected Product”).

Once a Delivery of Miltenyi Products is accepted or deemed accepted hereunder, Autolus shall have no recourse against Miltenyi in the event any such Miltenyi Product is subsequently deemed unsuitable for use for any reason, except for Miltenyi Product that does not conform to the Miltenyi Product Warranty after said [***]-day period due to a latent defect in the Miltenyi Product that could not be detected through the performance of the Testing Methods.
7.3 Confirmation. After its receipt of a Rejection Notice from Autolus or its designee pursuant to Section 7.2, Miltenyi shall notify Autolus in writing as soon as reasonably practical whether or not it accepts Autolus’ basis for rejection, and Autolus shall reasonably cooperate with Miltenyi in determining in good faith whether such rejection was necessary or justified. Upon Miltenyi’s reasonable request, Autolus shall provide, or cause its designees to provide, (i) evidence of appropriate transport, storage and handling for any Rejected Product in accordance with the storage and handling instructions set forth in the applicable Product Specifications; and (ii) reasonable testing data demonstrating that the Miltenyi Product in question does not conform to the Miltenyi Product Warranty.

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure by Autolus to make timely payments of any material, undisputed amount due Miltenyi under this Agreement shall constitute a material failure of Autolus to perform its payment obligations under this Agreement. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Autolus, Autolus shall have the right to suspend payment in respect of any service delivered by Miltenyi if and to the extent Miltenyi materially fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 9 INSPECTION

Upon commercially reasonable notice (to be provided not less than [***] days in advance) and during Miltenyi’s normal business hours, but not more often than [***] every [***] during the Term of this Agreement, Autolus or Autolus’ Licensees duly authorized representatives may inspect those portions of Miltenyi’s and its Affiliates’ and Subcontractors’ Facilities that are used to manufacture, store or conduct testing of Miltenyi Products to determine compliance with Applicable Laws, Regulatory Laws, Agreed Standards, the Quality Agreement and Product Specifications. Such representatives shall comply with the applicable rules and regulations for workers at such Facilities and shall enter into reasonable confidentiality and non-use agreements if so requested by Miltenyi, as a representative of Autolus or such Licensee (and not in an individual capacity). All audits shall be conducted in a manner that is intended to minimize disruption to the operations at such Facilities. Miltenyi shall promptly address and correct any deficiencies from Agreed Standards identified in connection with such inspections.

9.2 Exempt Documentation. Miltenyi reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to exempt certain documentation from such audit described in Section 9.1 if and to the extent this is reasonably required in order to protect Miltenyi’s trade secrets in Miltenyi Technology and/or other Miltenyi Intellectual Property Rights or Third Party Intellectual Property rights. If such exemption has a material impact on the scope of a representative’s inspection, the Parties shall discuss in good faith other means to provide sufficient information to such representative.

Each Receiving Party shall take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Without limiting the foregoing, each Receiving Party shall take at least those measures that it takes to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature and shall ensure that any Authorized Representative of the Receiving Party who is permitted access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party pursuant to clause (ii) in the first sentence of this Section 14.2 is contractually or legally bound by obligations of non-disclosure and non-use in scope and content at least as protective of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as the provisions hereof prior to any disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to such Authorized Representative. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its Authorized Representatives.
14.3 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, a Receiving Party shall have no obligations under this Article 14 with regard to any information of the Disclosing Party which the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (a) was generally known and available in the public domain at the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party or becomes generally known and available in the public domain through no act or omission of the Receiving Party or its Authorized Representatives; (b) can be documented as previously known by the Receiving Party prior to disclosure thereof by the Disclosing Party; (c) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party; (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (e) becomes known to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party.
14.4 Permitted Disclosure.
(a) Compelled Disclosure. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 14, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent the Receiving Party is legally required or compelled to do so by any governmental investigative or judicial agency or body pursuant to proceedings over which such agency or body has jurisdiction; provided, however, that prior to making any such required or compelled disclosure, the Receiving Party shall: (i) assert the confidential nature of the Confidential Information to such agency or body; (ii) promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing of such order or requirement to disclose; and (iii) cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party in protecting against or limiting any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order, confidential treatment and/or any other remedy narrowing the scope of the required or compelled disclosure and protecting its confidentiality. In the event that a protective order, confidential treatment and/or other remedy is not obtained, or if the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement as applied to such required or compelled disclosure, then the Receiving Party may, without liability, disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent that it is legally required or compelled to disclose. The Receiving Party shall furnish only that portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is legally required to disclose and shall make all reasonable and diligent efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment shall be afforded to Confidential Information so disclosed.
(b) Authorized Disclosure. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 14, each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement (i) in connection with the requirements of an initial public offering or securities filing; (ii) in confidence, to accountants, attorneys, other professional advisors, banks, and financing sources and their advisors; (iii) in confidence, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or rights under this Agreement; or (iv) in confidence, in connection with a merger or acquisition or proposed merger or acquisition, or a sale or proposed sale of its assets or business, or the like.

15.3 Discontinuance or Suspension of Autolus Product Program.

In the event Autolus’ aggregate purchases of Miltenyi Products from Miltenyi under this Agreement in any Calendar Year during the Term is less than €[***] ([***] Euros) or in the aggregate over any [***] consecutive Calendar Years during the Term is less than €[***] ([***] Euros) (the “[***]”), then Miltenyi shall provide written notice to Autolus of such shortfall. Autolus shall have [***] days to tender a firm Purchase Order for the purchase of such shortfall to satisfy [***] set forth above. If Autolus fails to tender such Purchase Order and has not otherwise met the [***] within said [***]-day period, then Miltenyi, in its sole discretion, effective immediately upon Autolus’ receipt of notice of Miltenyi’s election to do so and during the remainder of the Term, shall have no obligation to Autolus under this Agreement:
(1) not to discontinue the supply of any particular Miltenyi Product;
(2) to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure continuous supply of Miltenyi Products to Autolus in accordance with Forecasts provided by or on behalf of Autolus;
(3) to provide Regulatory Work in accordance with Section 4.3.
[***] referred to above shall include the quantities of Miltenyi Product(s) ordered by Autolus in accordance with applicable Forecasts that could not be supplied by Miltenyi.
15.5 Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from liability accrued under this Agreement prior to such expiration or termination, nor preclude either Party from pursuing any rights or remedies accrued prior to such expiration or termination or accrued at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement.
15.6 The termination of this Agreement shall not operate to relieve Autolus from its obligation to pay (a) the Purchase Price of all quantities of Miltenyi Products (i) delivered in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Quality Agreement up to the effective date of termination and (ii) to be

15.7 Post Termination. Upon the termination or expiry of this Agreement, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party or destroy, at the other Party’s request,

15.8 Survival. Other than obligations which have accrued and are outstanding as of the date of any expiration or termination of this Agreement, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Quality Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, all rights granted and obligations undertaken by the Parties hereunder shall terminate immediately upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, subject to Section 15.5 above and except for the following which shall survive according to their terms: Section 2.2 (Permitted Use); Section 2.7 (Subcontracting by Autolus); Article 10 (Intellectual Property); Article 11 (Warranty); Article 12 (Limitation of Liability); Article 13 (Indemnification); Article 14 (Confidentiality and Non-disclosure); Section 15.5 (Post-termination); Section 15.8 (Survival); Article 16 (Notices); Article 17 (Assignment); Article 19 (Dispute Resolution and Applicable Law); and Article 20 (Miscellaneous); and any and all rights and obligations of the Parties thereunder, as well as any other provision hereunder which by its nature is intended to survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 17 ASSIGNMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL
17.1 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable, pledged or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligations hereunder be assigned, pledged or transferred, by either Party to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent, in the event of a financing transaction by the Party asking for consent, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by the other Party; except either Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement without the consent of the other Party to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of the assigning Party relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether by merger, acquisition or otherwise; provided that intellectual property rights that are owned or held by the acquiring entity or person to such transaction (if other than one of the Parties to this Agreement) shall not be included in the technology licensed hereunder. In addition, either Party shall have the right to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement to an Affiliate upon written notice to the non-assigning Party; provided, however, the assigning or transferring Party shall continue to

remain liable for the performance of this Agreement by such Affiliate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Miltenyi or any of its Affiliates from granting a security interest in this Agreement and any rights hereunder to any Third Party in connection with any financing transaction to the extent provided under (and subject to the restrictions on the rights of secured parties contained in) Applicable Laws. In addition, Miltenyi or any Affiliate of Miltenyi shall have the right to sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any accounts and payment intangibles in connection with any financing transaction. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each Party, its successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement in contravention of this Article 17 shall be null and void.
17.2 Change of Control. Each Party (the “Acquired Party”) shall provide written notice to the other of a Change of Control of the Acquired Party or the Acquired Party’s parent (if any) and the details of the acquirer (the “New Owner”) as soon as the Change of Control can be legally disclosed. Within [***] days of a Change of Control of the Acquired Party being disclosed, the other Party (the “Requesting Party”) may request from the New Owner confirmation in writing that it assumes in full the obligations and rights of the Acquired Party with respect to the supply of Miltenyi Product hereunder. In the event that the New Owner fails to provide such confirmation to the Requesting Party within [***] days of receipt of a properly submitted request therefor, the Requesting Party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect upon giving written notice to the Acquired Party. For clarity, the foregoing termination right shall be in addition to, and without limitation to, any other remedies available to the Requesting Party in the event of a [***] pursuant to Section 6.8 (b) or a breach pursuant to Section 11.5 of this Agreement. If the Change of Control occurs prior to the delivery by Autolus of the first Commercial Phase Notice, the Parties shall, at the request of Autolus, enter into negotiations regarding [***] terms as set forth in Section 6.8.
ARTICLE 18 FORCE MAJEURE
18.1 Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party on account of any loss or damage resulting from any delay or failure to perform all or any part of this Agreement if such delay or failure is caused, in whole or in part, by events, occurrences, or causes beyond the reasonable control and without negligence of the Parties (“Force Majeure Event”). Such events, occurrences, or causes shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, acts of war, riots, civil commotion, terrorist acts, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of facilities or materials by fire, explosion, earthquake, storm or the like catastrophe, and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar circumstances), but the inability to meet financial obligations is expressly excluded.
18.2 The Party affected by Force Majeure Event shall inform promptly the other Party in writing of the Force Majeure Event’s occurrence, anticipated duration and cessation. The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations hereunder as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled, provided, however, that such affected Party commences and continues to take reasonable and diligent actions to cure such cause.

ARTICLE 19 APPLICABLE LAWS; JURISDICTION
19.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of Germany, without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; provided, however, that any dispute relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Intellectual Property shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of the jurisdiction in which such Intellectual Property applies.
19.2 Dispute Resolution Procedures. Should any dispute, claim or controversy arise between the Parties relating to the validity, interpretation, performance, termination or breach of this Agreement (collectively, a “Dispute”), the Parties shall use their best efforts to resolve the Dispute by good faith negotiations, first between their respective representatives directly involved in that Dispute and then, if necessary, between senior representatives for the Parties. Any such Dispute not satisfactorily settled by negotiation, after [***], shall be brought exclusively in the courts of competent jurisdiction located in Cologne, Germany; provided that nothing in this Section 19.2 shall preclude either Party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 19.3below.
19.3 Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges that its breach of its obligations under this Agreement may result in immediate and irreparable harm to the other Party, for which there shall be no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching Party may, in addition to other remedies, immediately seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief (including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief) prohibiting the breach or threatened breach or compelling specific performance, without the necessity of proving actual damages. Such right to injunctive relief as provided for in this paragraph is in addition to, and is not in limitation of, whatever remedies either Party may be entitled to as a matter of law or equity, including money damages. The Parties agree to waive the requirement of posting a bond in connection with a court’s issuance of an injunction.
ARTICLE 20 MISCELLANEOUS
20.1 Governing Further Actions. Each Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of the Agreement.
20.2 Independent Contractors. The relationship between Miltenyi and Autolus created by this Agreement is one of independent contractors. Neither Party shall have the power or authority to bind or obligate the other Party, or purport to take on any obligation or responsibility, or make any representations, warranties, guarantees or endorsements to anyone, on behalf of the other Party, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement.
20.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Exhibits attached hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference, and as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof) and any Quality Agreement(s) sets forth all of the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and constitutes and contains the complete, final, and exclusive understanding and agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and cancels, supersedes and terminates all prior agreements and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations conditions or understandings, whether oral or written, between the Parties other than as set forth herein or in a Quality Agreement. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement (including all Exhibits attached hereto) shall be binding upon the Parties hereto unless reduced to writing and signed by the respective authorized officers of the Parties.

20.4 Severability and Headings. If any term, condition or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a substitute, valid and enforceable provision that most nearly effects the Parties’ intent and to be bound by mutually agreed substitute provision. If the Parties fail to agree on such an amendment, such invalid term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Headings used in this Agreement are provided for convenience only, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
20.5 No Waiver. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective. Failure, neglect or delay by a Party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or its rights or remedies at any time, shall not be construed as a waiver of such Party’s rights under this Agreement and shall not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of this Agreement or prejudice such Party’s right to take subsequent action. No exercise or enforcement by either Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall preclude the enforcement by such Party of any other right or remedy under this Agreement or that such Party is entitled by law to enforce.
20.6 Negotiated Terms. The Parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are the result of negotiations between the Parties and that this Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against any Party by reason of the extent to which any Party or its professional advisors participated in the preparation of this Agreement.
20.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which need not contain the signature of more than one Party but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and may be executed through exchange of original signatures, electronic copies (PDF) or facsimiles.
