The parties acknowledge that Synageva may, in its sole discretion, elect to manufacture or have manufactured by one or more third parties product during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, including in the event of the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and that Synageva may require Cytovance’s assistance in order to enable such manufacturing of no less quality-control standards as conducted at Cytovance’s manufacturing site. Therefore upon written request of Synageva, Cytovance shall, at the sole cost and expense of Synageva (unless due to an inability to manufacture or failure to supply on the part of Cytovance, or otherwise due to a material breach of this Agreement by Cytovance, in which case at the sole cost and expense of Cytovance), reasonably cooperate with Synageva or one or more third-party designees and provide such assistance, provided that such assistance does not unreasonably interfere with Cytovance’s business.

Such assistance may include, without limitation, allowing Synageva or one or more third-party designees to (i) consult with employees or agents of Cytovance with expertise in the manufacture of product, and (ii) observe manufacturing runs of product during normal business hours. In addition, Synageva shall have the right to require Cytovance to release, provide right of reference, access, and/or license to Synageva and/or any third party designated by Synageva in writing, all documentation, laboratory notebooks, regulatory filings, manufacturing standards, manufacturing improvements and any and all other information necessary or reasonably useful for the manufacture of product. Cytovance shall provide such technical assistance and other cooperation as Synageva may reasonably require in order to fully transfer the manufacture to another location and enable Synageva to manufacture or have a third party manufacture product in compliance with the manufacturing standards and specifications. Such assistance and cooperation shall be at the expense of Synageva unless such assistance and cooperation is required due to Cytovance’s failure to meet its manufacture or supply obligations to Synageva hereunder or such other breach of this Agreement, in which case such assistance and cooperation shall be at the expense of Cytovance.

14.

Shipment

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, all product, raw materials, samples components or other materials shipped by Cytovance are delivered F.O.B. Cytovance’s facilities. Cytovance shall package for shipment such product, raw materials, samples, components or other materials at Synageva’s expense (including insurance) and in accordance with Synageva’s full written and reasonable instructions.

Issue Date:		January 27, 2012

Revision:		01

Expiration Date:		April 27, 2012

The content of this document has been developed on a project specific basis based upon information provided by Synageva and on a number of key assumptions. This proposal is provided for the sole use of Synageva in defining the services to be provided by Cytovance Biologics Inc for the continuing manufacture of SBC-102.

130398996_1

SUMMARY

Cytovance^® Biologics Inc, (“Cytovance”) is a contract biomanufacturing organization dedicated to meeting the needs of companies seeking to advance products rapidly and cost-effectively into and through clinical development.

This proposal is written in response to discussions with Synageva Biopharma regarding SBC-102. SBC-102 is a recombinant human protein under development as an enzyme replacement therapy for Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) deficiency. Lysosomal acid lipase acts to reduce the build-up of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in the liver and other organs. The SBC-102 produced by Cytovance is intended for use in Synageva’s human clinical studies.

In keeping with Cytovance’s business philosophy, the proposal has been priced aggressively and incorporates certain non-standard pricing mechanisms that we believe provide benefit.

Cytovance Biologics is fully committed to an entrepreneurial and flexible approach to the biopharmaceutical contract services marketplace and is in a position to very rapidly execute a suitable services agreement and to commence work.

PRICE MATRIX

In accordance with Cytovance Biologics’ business strategy we provide the following pricing estimates for this program below. The estimates are based on information provided by Synageva and on current assumptions. Pricing may be modified after detailed technical review, the receipt of additional information and the mutual development and agreement of a detailed scope-of-work.

Background Information

Cytovance Biologics is a Delaware Corporation. The company was founded to serve the contract process development and clinical phase cGMP manufacturing market. In order to allow clients to fully evaluate the merits of this proposal, we provide the following background information.

Company Background

The company was established in 2003 using $1.25 million of founder’s equity and private investments, Operations were established in Oklahoma based on a $16.8 million debt-financing package provided by Oklahoma City that was announced on July 8, 2004. This financing was in the form of an innovative federal and state tax credit-supported loan from a fund established by Rural Enterprises of Oklahoma, Inc. (REI), a federally accredited Community Development Financial Institution. This financing package comprised funds for facility construction, process equipment and operating capital. In 2005 a new ownership group led by Dr. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, acquired the assets of Cytovance Biologics, Inc. and formed Cytovance Biologics, LLC. These new investors along with the Presbyterian Health Foundation capitalized the new company with $15 million working capital and equipment purchases. Cytovance Biologics enjoys an existing revenue stream via ongoing customer contracts.

Facilities

Cytovance’s Oklahoma operations are located within the Presbyterian Health Foundation Research Park, close to the Oklahoma City central business district. Process development labs are located in 11,000 sq. ft. of class A wet lab and office space leased from the Foundation. Cytovance’s 44,000 sq. ft. primary CGMP production facility was custom-designed for multi-product CGMP production and meets US and European regulatory standards. Facility design was reviewed by the US Food and Drug Administration prior to construction. This facility features independent production suites at 100L, 500L, and 1,000L (w/v) scale plus significant expansion capability.

Cytovance also has approximately 6,000 sq. ft. of existing CGMP clean room space at its Oklahoma City location that houses CGMP cell banking capabilities and which features additional CGMP processing suites suitable for pilot production; customer-specific custom production processes or dedicated production.

430398996_1

Cytovance welcomes a visit from appropriate Customer representatives to tour the facilities and undertake a detailed review of facility design, equipment and validation, process flows, quality systems and so on.

Business Philosophy

The company was founded based on strong client-side experience and the premise that it is necessary to truly understand customer technical and business needs in order to efficiently serve its market, We offer a comprehensive portfolio of commercial-quality services under reasonable terms, and can provide continuity of manufacturing services over the short and long term. We believe that the delivery of technical excellence and appropriate compliance is a given. No client should expect anything less than on-time delivery within an agreed budget. We believe based on our experience, however, that to differentiate ourselves and add significant additional value to our customers we need to do more. Our business model will allow us to truly meet the needs of our customers and to be successful by also providing the following:

•

An attractive cost base. As a service provider it is imperative that we deliver value to our customers. A fundamental business principle for us is to maintain an attractive cost-of-doing-business and to share that advantage with our customers. This xxxxx is applied to all aspects of our business, from the design of our organization to the location of operations in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

•

Easy access to our services under reasonable terms.

•

A success-based culture that is reflected in flexible business terms that can be modified to assist customers in reaching development and funding milestones.

•

Custom-designed and state-of-the-art facilities. Our new CGMP multi-product manufacturing facility is not retro-fitted space or converted from single/limited product use.

•

Opportunity to grow. Our facility is designed to include expansion space that can deliver larger scale production on either a multi-product or client-specific basis.

•

A comprehensive-service offering that can provide a turnkey solution, but which allows clients maximum flexibility to take only the services they require. We are happy to undertake smaller “stand-alone” projects. We strive to allow our clients to focus time and resources on core competencies such as drug discovery.

•

A team of professionals with significant client-side experience supplemented by a sound working knowledge of the biopharmaceutical services market. We have a great appreciation for the larger picture of the drug development process. We will use these experiences to build strong collaborative relationships and to ensure that we are meeting your needs.

•

Maximum strategic flexibility. We avoid of the use of royalty-bearing intellectual property unless specifically requested and ensure that all methods, processes and systems are transferable. We hope to develop long-term relationships but will provide our full support if it becomes necessary to transfer a process to an alternative manufacturing site.

•

An understanding that the product we deliver is much more than a therapeutic protein and associated documentation. The processes we develop belong to our customers and must be economically viable, robust, compliant, scaleable and transferable. In addition, we want to deliver the know-how that will allow customers to fully support their process in future.

•

Easy access to a range of strategic collaborators able to provide “seamless” access to necessary services not offered by Cytovance Biologics.

•

Executive level oversight of every customer relationship.
