G-4
human clinical trials. The production and supply of Drug Substance for non-clinical use is governed by the License Agreement.
3. SUPPLY AND SPECIFICATIONS
3.1 Supply. ImmunoGen is obliged to supply BI Pharma with certain quantities of Drug Product in order for BI Pharma to conduct Phase I Trials and non-pivotal Phase IIa Trials. The minimum quantities of clinical Drug Product to be supplied to BI Pharma by ImmunoGen in each respective Calendar Year during the Term of this Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule G. It is the understanding of ImmunoGen and BI Pharma that ImmunoGen shall not be obliged to supply BI Pharma with quantities in excess of five percent (5%) of the amounts of Drug Product in each respective Calendar Year as listed in Schedule G attached to this Agreement, provided that ImmunoGen shall use all reasonable efforts to fulfill any such request. ImmunoGen shall produce Drug Product in a series of Batch Runs, the exact number and size of which shall be determined by the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that the number, size and/or yield of Batch Runs are subject to change due to numerous factors, including but not limited to production and purification processes, recruitment of patients to clinical trials and the number of and dosing schedules chosen for human clinical trials.
3.2 Drug Substance and Drug Product Specifications. Draft Specifications for Drug Substance and Drug Product as provided by BI Pharma are attached hereto as Schedule A. The Parties acknowledge that these Draft Specifications are subject to change with the collection of Batch Run manufacturing data. Final Specifications have to be defined mutually by the Parties prior to manufacture of the first clinical batch. ImmunoGen shall not make any changes to the Final Specifications and the Master Batch Records, without the prior written permission of BI Pharma; in the event that ImmunoGen has made any such unauthorised changes, ImmunoGen shall be held solely liable for the consequences of such changes and for any claim for damages or indemnification arising therefrom. Upon the determination of the Final Specifications, the Draft Specifications will no longer be applicable to the manufacture of Drug Substance and Drug Product and shall be replaced in full by the terms of the Final Specifications.
3.3 Manufacturing Process and Master Batch Records. ImmunoGen will provide BI Pharma with Master Batch Records describing the Manufacturing Process for Drug Product as well as for Drug Substance. ImmunoGen shall supply BI Pharma with all required written information, including but not limited to standard operating procedures, describing quality control procedures for testing of Drug Substance and Drug Product. The Master Batch Records will be agreed upon by the Parties prior to manufacturing of the first cGMP batch. Any change to the Master Batch Records requires prior written approval by BI Pharma. ImmunoGen will provide copies of all Manufacturing Documentation to BI Pharma.
3.4 Provision of BIWA4. BI Pharma shall deliver the necessary quantities of BIWA4, at BI Pharma's sole cost, for a Batch Run no less than [ * ] days prior to the scheduled initiation of the Batch Run. The Parties acknowledge that the necessary quantity of BIWA4 is subject to change and is dependent on the number, size and/or yield of Batch Runs. ImmunoGen shall not be responsible for any delay caused by BI Pharma's failure to deliver such BIWA4 as contemplated by this Section 3.4. BI Pharma shall provide or arrange to provide ImmunoGen free of charge with such quantities of BIWA4 as shall be necessary according to the Master Batch Records for the manufacture of Drug Product for BI Pharma. ImmunoGen shall use the BIWA4 exclusively for the manufacturing of Drug Product for BI Pharma. ImmunoGen shall store BIWA4 in controlled areas and in accordance with the conditions specified by BI Pharma. ImmunoGen shall issue a written request for BIWA4 to BI Pharma (a "Shipment Order") including, but not limited to, amount and delivery date not later than [ * ] prior to the scheduled initiation of the Batch Run.

13. MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Force Majeure. The Parties shall not be liable in any respect for failure to perform their obligations hereunder or for delay in shipment of BIWA4 or Drug Product pursuant to accepted orders where such failure or delay shall have been due wholly or in part to the elements, acts of God, acts of civil or military authority or terrorism, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, war, riots, strikes, lock outs, break down, differences with workmen, accidents to machinery, delays in transportation or delays in delivery by suppliers or manufacturers beyond the Parties' control. In event of such force majeure, the Party affected thereby shall use reasonable efforts to cure or overcome the same and resume performance of its obligations hereunder.
13.2 Other Restrictions. Both Parties will conduct business in a manner that reflects favorably at all times on the products containing DM1, goodwill, and reputation of the other Party.

13.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by German laws.

G-15
proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party. Any such arbitration shall be conducted under the commercial arbitration rules of the ICC by a panel of three arbitrators appointed in accordance with such rules. Any such arbitration shall be held in [ * ]. The arbitrators shall have the authority to grant specific performance and to allocate between the Parties the costs of arbitration in such equitable manner as they determine. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based upon such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party shall have the right, without waiving any right or remedy available to such Party under this Agreement or otherwise to seek and obtain from any court of jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary or desirable to protect the rights or property of such Party, pending the selection of the arbitrators hereunder or pending the arbitrators' determination of any dispute, controversy or claim hereunder.
13.5 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.
13.6 Headings. Section and subsection headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement.
13.7 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by each Party or, in the case of waiver, by the Party or Parties waiving compliance. The delay or failure of any Party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions shall in no manner affect the rights at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any Party of any condition or of the breach of any term contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct, or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or considered as, a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of the breach of such term or any other term of this Agreement.
13.8 Independent Contractors; No Agency or Partnership. The relationship between ImmunoGen and BI Pharma is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give either Party the right to bind the other, or be deemed to constitute the Parties as agents for the other or as partners with each other or any third party.
13.9 Assignment and Successors. Either Party shall not be entitled to assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party.
13.10 Integration; Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid or is ruled invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction or is deemed unenforceable, it is the intention of the Parties that the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected.
