2.	SCOPE OF AGREEMENT; PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES.

2.1 Scope of Agreement. As a master form of contract, this Agreement allows the Parties to contract for multiple Projects through the issuance of multiple SOWs as described in Section 2.2, without having to re-negotiate the basic terms and conditions contained herein.

2.2 Statements of Work. The specific Services to be provided by CMO and/or its Affiliates for each project under this Agreement (each, a “Project”) shall be separately specified in a SOW. Each SOW shall become effective only upon signature by both Parties and, upon such signature, shall be attached to this Agreement as part of Exhibit A. An example template form for a SOW is attached hereto and included in Exhibit A. SOWs shall be sequentially numbered, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall incorporate the terms and conditions hereof by reference. Each SOW shall also set forth, upon terms mutually agreeable to the parties, the specific Services to be performed by CMO, the anticipated time line and schedule for the performance of such Services, and the compensation to be paid by Client to CMO for the performance of such Services, as well as any other relevant terms and conditions. If a Project includes the development or production of specific deliverables, the specifications of such deliverables shall be set forth in the relevant SOW. If a SOW provides for CMO to Manufacture Biologic, the Specifications of such Biologic shall be set forth in such SOW or in the Quality Agreement (as applicable), and such SOW shall expressly specify: (a) whether such Biologic is (or will be) an CMO Biologic or a Client Biologic; and (b) whether or not such Biologic is to be manufactured in accordance with GMPs (and, in the absence of any such specification, it will be presumed that such Biologic is not required to be manufactured in accordance with GMPs). There shall be no minimum or maximum number of SOWs to be entered into under this Agreement. Each SOW and any Change Orders thereto shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement in addition to the specific details set forth in the SOW or Change Order, as applicable. To the extent any terms or conditions of a SOW or any Change Orders thereto conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control, unless the SOW or Change Order expressly states the intent of the Parties that a particular provision of such SOW or Change Order supersedes this Agreement with respect to a particular matter. Any modification or addition to the Services as described in an existing SOW will require execution of a written Change Order in accordance with Section 2.3, and no change, modification or waiver to the SOW will be effective unless specifically set out in the Change Order.

2.3 Change Orders. Modifications or additions to the Services shall be accomplished through the use of a Change Order. A Change Order must be in writing and signed by each Party in order to be effective. The procedure for creating a Change Order is as follows: (a) Client shall submit a written request to CMO specifying the additions or modifications to the Services desired; and (b) if CMO is prepared to add to or modify the Services as requested by the Client, it shall prepare and submit an amendment to the SOW to Client which shall include a written description of the changes to the Services and any additional fees. On obtaining the Client’s written signature to the Change Order, the Change Order will become part of the SOW. Client acknowledges and agrees that any material change to the Services may result in an extension of the agreed timelines and/or may cause an increase in the Services Fee amount and Unanticipated Expenses.

2.4 Client Information and Client Materials. Promptly following the execution of a SOW by the Parties (or at such other time as specified in such SOW), Client shall disclose to CMO the Client Information for such Project specified in the SOW or otherwise reasonably requested by CMO and, subject to Section 2.7, transfer to CMO the Client Materials for such Project in the form(s) and quantity(ies)

Client acknowledges and agrees that CMO shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of Services hereunder to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any failure or delay of Client in disclosing Client Information or transferring Client Materials that, in each case, are necessary for CMO’s performance of such Services.

2.5 Performance of Services. CMO agrees to perform the Services set forth in each SOW in a workmanlike manner and with professional diligence and skill in accordance with the applicable Agreed Standards, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such SOW. CMO shall perform its obligations hereunder in conformance with Applicable Laws. CMO shall perform the Services under each SOW in accordance with the timeline schedule set forth in such SOW, provided that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in such SOW, CMO does not guarantee that any specific delivery date(s) will be met. CMO shall notify Client in writing promptly upon becoming aware of any circumstance that will, or could reasonably be expected to, result in any delay in performance of the Services or in the delivery of any Biologic under the SOW, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to avoid or minimize any such delay.

2.6 Subcontracting. CMO may subcontract Services under a SOW to an Affiliate of CMO or, with Client’s prior written consent on a case-by case basis, to any Third Party, provided that no such subcontracting shall relieve CMO of any of its obligations hereunder, and CMO shall at all times be directly responsible to Client for the compliance of its Affiliate and Third Party subcontractors with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable SOW.

2.7 Materials. In order to enable the performance of the Services, a Party may provide to the other Party certain biological or chemical materials, including, without limitation, Client Materials (collectively, “Materials”). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all such Materials will remain the sole property of the providing Party. The receiving Party will use the Materials only in furtherance of the activities expressly contemplated by this Agreement or SOW, will not use the Materials or deliver the Materials to or for the benefit of any Third Party without the prior written consent of the providing Party, and will use the Materials in compliance with all Applicable Laws. The Materials supplied under this Agreement must be used with prudence and appropriate caution in any experimental work because not all of their characteristics may be known. Except as expressly set forth herein, THE MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. For clarity, “Materials” do not include any Biologic that is provided by CMO to Client as a deliverable pursuant to a SOW.

2.8 Cell Line License. If Client elects to use CMO’s Cell Line for the commercial production of a Biologic, Client must pay for and CMO shall provide a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid, license (the “Cell Line License”). The fee for the Cell Line License shall be [*****](the “Cell Line License Fee”). If requested in writing by Client, the parties shall enter into a license agreement and CMO shall provide to Client the Cell Line License prior to Client’s first IND filing so that appropriate documentation related to the Cell Line can be included in the regulatory submission package. [*****]Neither Party shall be obligated to enter into a commercial manufacturing supply agreement except in its sole discretion and upon receipt of all necessary corporate approvals for such party.

4.	PAYMENT.

4.1 Services Fees, Unanticipated Expenses and Applicable Taxes. For the Services provided by CMO and/or its Affiliates hereunder, Client agrees to pay CMO: (a) the fees and expenses set forth in the applicable SOW and any associated Change Orders (the “Services Fees”), (b) the Unanticipated Expenses reasonably incurred by CMO and/or its Affiliates in the course of providing the Services, in accordance with Section 4.2, and (c) any Applicable Taxes, in accordance with Section 4.6.

4.2 Unanticipated Expenses. Client acknowledges that actual expenses incurred by CMO in performing the Services under a SOW may differ from the budgeted costs set forth in such SOW. Accordingly, in addition to the agreed Services Fees and budgeted costs specified in a SOW, Client shall pay or reimburse CMO for the following reasonable, actual and documented expenses incurred by CMO in connection with the performance of Services (the “Unanticipated Expenses”):

(a) the actual costs of travel and accommodations for travel by CMO personnel undertaken at Client’s written request;

(b) the actual cost of any quantity(ies) of Raw Materials (other than Client-Supplied Raw Materials) necessary for the performance of Services that exceed the anticipated required quantity(ies) of such Raw Materials under the original SOW, provided that such additional quantities do not exceed more than 10% of the originally estimated amount;

(c) the actual cost of outside professional services to CMO provided that such services are set forth in the SOW or otherwise approved by Client in advance and performed in accordance with Client’s instructions and the terms of this Agreement and the SOW; and

Page 11 of 26

(d) the costs and expenses (including without limitation material and labor costs) reasonably incurred by CMO in connection with any audit or inspection pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.4 (to be charged to Client at applicable CMO standard rates).

4.3 Invoices; Payment. CMO shall provide to Client for each SOW one or more separate invoices (to be delivered at intervals specified in such SOW) for the Service Fees earned and Unanticipated Expenses or Cancellation Fees incurred in performing Services under such SOW or applicable Change Order, each such invoice summarizing the Services performed during that period of time under that SOW or applicable Change Order. For each Project, CMO will keep accurate financial records of its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in the performance of Services and invoice calculations, and, upon the written request of Client, will permit Client or its duly authorized agents to examine such financial records during normal business hours for the purpose of verifying the correctness of all such costs, expenses and invoice calculations.

4.4 Manner and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specified in a SOW or Change Order, Client shall pay each undisputed invoice within [*****] days of receipt. All invoiced amounts (other than any invoiced amount or portion thereof that is subject to good faith dispute as set forth below) shall be paid in full by the Client without deduction or set off. Except as otherwise specified Section 2.8, all payments due to CMO under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars by wire or electronic fund transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by CMO. Client shall be responsible for payment of all bank charges assessed by the originating bank associated with such manner of payment. In the event Client in good faith disputes any invoiced amount or portion thereof, Client shall provide written notice of the disputed amount and the nature of the dispute in reasonable detail within ten (10) days of receipt of the invoice and shall timely pay any undisputed portion of such invoiced amount. After receiving notice of disputed amount, CMO shall respond in writing with ten (10) days, and if CMO does not agree with Client’s reason for dispute, the Parties shall work together in good faith to resolve such dispute pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 12.8 below.

4.5 Payment Default. In the event that payment of an undisputed amount is not paid within thirty (30) days following receipt of the invoice (the non-payment constituting a “Payment Default”), (a) CMO may charge interest of [*****] accruing daily ([*****] per annum) on the undisputed amount commencing on the date of the Payment Default and (b) CMO may suspend the provision of the Services until the Payment Default is rectified by Client. If the Payment Default is not rectified within 30 days following CMO providing written notice to Client of the Payment Default, it will be deemed a material breach of the applicable Work Order and Provider may terminate the Work Order pursuant to Section 10.2.

4.6 Applicable Taxes. Client will pay any applicable sales, use, consumption, goods and services, and value-added taxes, duties, assessments and other charges and expenses imposed by any government authority arising out of the provision of Services and/or the delivery and sale of Biologics to Client under this Agreement and the applicable SOW (“Applicable Taxes”), which shall exclude taxes imposed on CMO’s (and/or its Affiliates’) income.

5.	DELIVERY; ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION.

5.1 Quality Control Documentation. Except as specified in a SOW or any Quality Agreement executed hereunder, prior to the delivery of any Batch of Biologic to Client, CMO shall provide Client with (a) a Certificate of Analysis for such Batch and (b) if such Batch is a GMP Batch, a Certificate of Compliance.

Page 12 of 26

5.2 Delivery. Except as otherwise specified in a SOW, CMO will deliver all shipments of Biologic [*****] to the Client-designated carrier. CMO will package Biologic in accordance with Client’s reasonable written instructions. [*****] Subject to Section 5.3 and no later than ten (10 days after the actual Technical Release Date, CMO shall arrange for its designated carrier to collect such shipment of Biologic from the Facility. If Client is not ready to receive shipment of Biologic and requests that CMO store Biologic for a period longer than sixty (60) days after the Technical Release Date, CMO shall have the right to charge, and Client shall pay, additional fees at CMO’s then-standard rates for storage of such shipment. Client shall be responsible for insuring all shipments of Biologic upon CMO’s delivery thereof to the designated carrier at the Facility. All shipments will be subject to the standard terms and conditions of the designated carrier, and CMO shall have no liability to Client for any loss, damage or delay in a shipment attributable to the designated carrier or to events occurring during shipment, other than to the extent resulting from CMO’s failure to package Biologic as set forth above.

5.3 Acceptance and Rejection. Following the date upon which CMO delivers Batch Documentation (the actual “Technical Release Date”), Client shall have the right to reject any Batch of Biologic that fails to conform to any applicable Specifications (a “Non-Conforming Batch”). Client shall promptly review the Batch Documentation for each Batch of Biologic and shall notify CMO in writing of its acceptance or rejection of such Batch within [*****] days following the actual Technical Release Date. If Client fails to notify CMO in writing of its rejection of any Batch within [*****] days following the actual Technical Release Date, Client shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted such Batch. If Client timely delivers written notice of rejection of any Batch to CMO, CMO shall notify Client in writing as promptly as reasonably possible whether or not it accepts Client’s basis for rejection. If CMO in good faith disagrees in writing with Client’s assertion that a Batch is a Non-Conforming Batch, the Batch Documentation and a sample of such Batch shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable Third Party laboratory. Such Third Party laboratory shall determine whether or not such Batch is a Non-Conforming Batch, and the Parties agree that such laboratory’s determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Party against whom the Third Party laboratory rules shall bear all costs of the Third Party testing.

5.4 Sole Remedy for a Non-Conforming Batch. In the event (a) CMO agrees or the Third Party laboratory determines that a Batch is a Non-Conforming Batch and (b) such non-conformity resulted primarily from CMO’s acts or omissions or equipment failure, then CMO, at Client’s option, shall either [*****]. This Section 5.4 sets forth CMO’s entire liability and Client’s SOLE REMEDY for delivery of a Non-Conforming Batch. For clarity, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the non-conformity of any Non-Conforming Batch is the result of non-conformity of any Client-Supplied Raw Materials, then, provided that CMO performed acceptance testing of such Client-Supplied Raw Materials as expressly required by the applicable SOW or Quality Agreement and such testing did not reveal such non-conformance, Client shall not be entitled to the foregoing remedy. The ultimate disposition of any Non-Conforming Batch will be the responsibility of Client, and CMO shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to such disposition.

6.	REGULATORY.

6.1 Regulatory Filings; Master File. Client shall be solely responsible for filing and maintaining all IND applications and foreign equivalents thereof, applications for regulatory or marketing approval, and regulatory or marketing approvals with respect to any Client Product (collectively, “Regulatory Filings”). In the event that CMO has submitted a Master File with the FDA, CMO shall submit a letter of authorization to the FDA authorizing such Regulatory Authority to access and refer to the Master File in support of Client’s (or its designee’s) U.S. Regulatory Filings with respect to any Client Product and shall promptly provide Client with a copy of such letter of authorization. CMO shall maintain the Master File as current per FDA regulations and will notify Client of any critical changes to the Master

Page 13 of 26

File that may adversely affect Client’s Regulatory Filings. In the event that CMO has not submitted its Master File to the FDA (or, if mutually agreed in writing on a case-by-case basis, other Regulatory Authorities), then CMO shall provide to Client appropriate and relevant sections of the Master File that are required for Client’s Regulatory Filings.

6.2 Records Inspection. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years following the termination of this Agreement, Client reserves the right upon ten (10) business days’ written notice and at its own expense to enter upon CMO’s premises during regular business hours to review CMO’s records regarding Batch Documentation and/or the corresponding Quality Agreement(s) and CMO shall, subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, furnish Client with any relevant documents requested by Client in relation thereto. In no event shall CMO and/or its Affiliates be obligated to provide Client or its Third Party contractor with access to any documentation (or portion thereof) to the extent that providing such access would constitute a breach or violation of CMO’s and/or its Affiliates’ obligations to any Third Party.

6.3 Facility Audits. Client shall have the right, acting reasonably and at its expense, upon not less than ten (10) business days advance written notice and during regular business hours, [*****], except for Cause, during the Term hereof, to inspect and audit the Facility to assure compliance with the Agreed Standards and other prevailing quality system requirements. Client shall have the right to conduct a “for Cause” audit during normal working hours with 24 hr advance notice. Such audit shall be limited to those portions of or areas within the Facility that are involved in the production of Biologic including, but not limited to, manufacturing suites and other related areas supporting production of Biologic (e.g., warehouse, water systems, storage, buffer and media prep), and shall be conducted in a manner so as to minimize disruption of business operations. Client shall have the right to appoint an appropriately qualified Third Party selected by Client and reasonably acceptable to CMO to conduct the audit. As a condition to allowing such Third Party contractor to conduct such audit, CMO and/or its Affiliate may require such Third Party to execute a non-disclosure agreement with CMO. CMO and/or its Affiliates reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to deny Client or its Third Party contractor access to documentation that constitutes or contains CMO Technology or other proprietary or Confidential Information of CMO and/or its Affiliates or any of their respective customers; provided, however, that to the extent access to any portion of such documentation is reasonably necessary for the conduct of the audit, CMO and/or its Affiliate shall permit Client or its Third Party contractor to inspect such portion of such documentation at the Facility but Client and its Third Party contractor shall not have the right to remove, copy or make detailed notes of such documentation; and provided, further, that in no event shall CMO and/or its Affiliates be obligated to provide Client or its Third Party contractor with access to any documentation (or portion thereof) to the extent that providing such access would constitute a breach or violation of CMO’s and/or its Affiliates’ obligations to any Third Party. All information disclosed to or otherwise observed by Client or its Third Party contractor during any such audit shall be deemed Confidential Information of CMO and/or its Affiliates, respectively. Client or its Third Party contractor shall at all times while present at the Facility comply with all applicable health, safety, environmental and security laws and, to the extent provided to such representatives, applicable CMO (and/or Affiliate) policies and procedures.

6.4 Adverse Event Reporting. Client shall be responsible for all reporting to Regulatory Authorities of adverse events associated with the use of any Client Product.

6.5 Regulatory Authority Communications.

(a) In the event CMO receives any correspondence from any Regulatory Authority relating to a Biologic, or any notice of inspection or any inspection visit by any Regulatory Authority relating to a Biologic, CMO shall notify Client thereof in writing as promptly as practicable but in no event later than within the time frames agreed in the Quality Agreement (if applicable). CMO shall keep Client timely informed of any written observations (or any other written communication) by such Regulatory Authority that relate to a Biologic and of CMO’s response to any such observation.

Page 14 of 26

(b) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with and assist each other in complying with regulatory obligations, including by each Party providing to the other Party such information and documentation which is in such Party’s possession as may be reasonably necessary for a Party to prepare a response to an inquiry from a Regulatory Authority with respect to a Biologic or the Facility.

(c) CMO will provide Client with copies of any written inspection reports issued by the Regulatory Authority that may adversely impact the Services performed by CMO for Client or to any Biologic supplied by CMO to Client and all material correspondence between CMO and the Regulatory Authority that pertain to the Services performed by CMO for Client or to any Biologic supplied by CMO to Client that may be adversely impacted within one (1) business days of CMO’s receipt thereof; provided, however, that CMO may redact from such copies any Confidential Information or other confidential or proprietary information of CMO or its other clients that do not pertain to the Services performed by CMO on Client’s behalf or to Biologics supplied by CMO to Client. For verbal communications with a Regulatory Authority that relate specifically to the Services performed by CMO for Client or to Biologic supplied by CMO to Client, CMO will provide Client with a written summary thereof within two (2) business days of such verbal communication. CMO will promptly provide Client with a copy of any written communication from CMO to a Regulatory Authority that pertains to the Services performed by CMO for Client or to any Biologic supplied by CMO to Client that may be adversely impacted; provided, however, that CMO may redact from such copy any Confidential Information or other confidential or proprietary information of CMO or its other clients that does not relate specifically to the Services performed by CMO for Client or to a Biologic.

6.6 Audit and Inspection Costs. Client shall reimburse CMO and/or its Affiliates for all Unanticipated Expenses that are not otherwise included in a SOW and are reasonably incurred by CMO and/or its Affiliates (as the case may be) directly in connection with (i) the audits pursuant to Section 6.3 (except audits conducted for Cause) and (ii) any regulatory inspections by, or correspondence with, any Governmental Authority or Regulatory Authority pursuant to Sections 6.5.

6.7 Assistance. CMO shall, if requested in writing, consult with and provide reasonable assistance to Client with regard to regulatory matters concerning the Biologics, as appropriate, and Client shall be charged reasonable compensation for the time of CMO personnel in providing such assistance at a rate to be mutually agreed by the Parties in advance and for any Unanticipated Expenses incurred in providing such assistance.

The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, subject to earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article 10, shall continue for a period of five (5) years from the Effective Date and thereafter shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods, unless either Party provides written notice to the other party of its desire not to renew at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term (the initial five-year term, together with any renewal terms, collectively, the “Term”); provided, however, that if Services under any SOW are in progress as of the expiration of the Term, this Agreement shall continue in effect solely with respect to such Services until completion of such Services or the earlier termination of such SOW in accordance with this Article 10.

10.2 Termination for Material Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or any SOW upon 30 days’ (or, in the case of breach of any payment obligation, 30 days’) prior written notice to the other Party upon or after the material breach of this Agreement or any SOW by the other party if the breaching Party has not cured such breach by the end of such 60-day (or 30-day, as applicable) period. If such notice of breach is for breach of a SOW, such notice shall note the specific SOW under which such breach is claimed.

10.3 Termination at Will.

(a) By Client. Client may terminate this Agreement or any SOW at any time upon forty five (45) days’ prior written notice to CMO.

(b) By CMO. CMO may terminate this Agreement at any time upon one hundred and ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Client; provided, however, that if Services under any applicable SOW are in progress on the date CMO gives notice of termination under this Section 10.3(b), then, at Client’s option, termination under this Section 10.3(b) shall not be effective until the later of (i) the end of such 180-day notice period and (ii) the date on which the Services to be provided under such SOW have been completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may CMO terminate this Agreement if its supply of Biologic is required for Client’s supply of Client Product for a specific phase of an on-going investigational clinical trial pursuant to an applicable SOW.

10.4 Payment Upon Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement before completion of the Services specified in any SOW, or termination of any SOW before completion of the Services specified in such SOW, Client shall pay CMO: (a) for all Services completed through the date of termination in accordance with this Agreement and such SOW, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and non-cancellable obligations incurred by CMO in accordance with this Agreement and such SOW and Unanticipated Expenses incurred by CMO in accordance with Section 4.2; and (b) if applicable, the Cancellation Fee(s) due under Section 3.4 with respect to any manufacturing run cancelled by virtue of such termination. As soon as practicable after the termination of any SOW (either individually or as a result of termination of this Agreement), CMO shall deliver to Client a written itemized statement of (i) all Services performed under such SOW, (ii) the Services Fee payable by Client for such Services, (iii) the actual out-of-pocket costs and non-cancellable obligations reasonably incurred by CMO in accordance with this Agreement and such SOW and Unanticipated Expenses reasonably incurred by CMO in accordance with Section 4.2, and (iv) if applicable, the Cancellation Fee(s) payable by Client under Section 3.4, and Client shall pay the invoiced amount within 45 days of receipt of invoice and verification of the invoiced expenses.

10.5 Return of Confidential Information. In the event of expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (including all copies thereof) in the Receiving Party’s possession (excluding any CMO Confidential Information provided in conjunction with Work Product for use in connection with the permitted use of such Work Product); provided, however, that the Receiving Party may retain one copy of such Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s secure archives for the sole purpose of monitoring compliance with its obligations hereunder or as required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain any electronic copies of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information held securely in the receiving Party’s electronic backup storage in accordance with its established document retention policies, subject in each case to the Receiving Party’s continuing confidentiality and non-use obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Confidential Information.

10.6 Accrued Rights; Survival. Except as expressly set forth in Section 10.4 or 10.5 or in this Section 10.6, upon expiration or any termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. The expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability or obligation that, at the time of such expiration or termination, has already accrued to the other Party or that is attributable to a period prior to such expiration or termination, nor will expiration or any termination of this Agreement preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, with respect to breach of this Agreement. In the event of expiration or any termination of this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 2.7, 2.8, 3.2, 3.4, 4.3, 4.4, 4.6, Sections 5.3 and 5.4 (solely with respect to any Batch of Biologic delivered prior to termination), Sections 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6, and in their entirety Articles 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of this Agreement shall survive such expiration or termination in accordance with their respective terms and conditions.

11.	INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1 By Client.

11.2 By CMO. CMO hereby agrees to save, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Client and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents (each, a “Client Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Client Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any CMO Indemnitee; (b) the breach by CMO of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by CMO in this Agreement; except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Client Indemnitee or the breach by Client of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Client in this Agreement; or (c) the infringement or violation or alleged infringement or violation of any patents or other intellectual property rights vested in any Third Party arising from CMO’s activities under this Agreement (but excluding infringement or violation of patents or other intellectual property rights based solely on the use of Client Information, Client Materials or the use of a Biologic).

11.3 Control of Defense. In the event a Party seeks indemnification under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 (the “Indemnified Party”), it shall: (a) inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of a Claim as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 30 days) after it receives notice of the Claim; (b) shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume direction and control of the defense of the Claim (including the right to settle the Claim solely for monetary consideration with no admission of fault and with no obligations on the part of the Indemnified Party) at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; and (c) shall cooperate as reasonably requested (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) in the defense of the Claim; provided, however, no CMO Indemnitee or Client Indemnitee, as applicable, shall be required to admit fault or responsibility or undertake additional obligations in connection with any settlement. Subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense and settlement thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select and to obtain representation by separate legal counsel at its own expense.

During the Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter, neither Party shall solicit or seek to hire as an employee, or solicit or seek to engage as a consultant, any current employee of the other Party; provided, however, that this provision will not prevent either Party from causing to be placed any general advertisement or similar notice that is not targeted specifically at employees of the other Party.

Page 22 of 26

12.3 Independent Contractor Relationship. CMO’s relationship with Client is that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship.

12.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement (including the Exhibit(s) attached hereto) constitutes the final, complete, and exclusive agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements relating to its subject matter. This Agreement (including its Exhibits) may not be changed, modified, amended, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both Parties.

12.5 Non-Waiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance. Any waiver by a Party of a particular provision or right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and shall be signed by such Party.

12.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder without the other Party’s consent: (a) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates to a Third Party, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets, or otherwise; or (b) to an Affiliate, provided that the assigning Party shall remain liable and responsible to the non-assigning Party hereto for the performance and observance of all such duties and obligations by such Affiliate. The assigning Party shall notify the other Party in writing of any assignment pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above as promptly as is reasonably practicable. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, and the name of a Party appearing herein will be deemed to include the name of such Party’s successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this section. Any assignment not in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void.

12.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising from the performance or breach hereof or any SOW executed hereunder shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State New York and the federal laws of the United States of America, without reference to conflicts of laws principles. The parties shall engage in good faith consultation to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Such consultation will begin immediately after one party has delivered to the other party a request for consultation. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days following the date on which the request for consultation is delivered, then either party may submit the dispute to International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) for arbitration to be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of ICC in effect at the time of submission. The place of arbitration will be New York City. The official language of the arbitration will be English. The tribunal will consist of one arbitrator to be appointed by ICC. The arbitration proceedings will be confidential, and the arbitrator may issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each party’s Confidential Information. During the course of arbitration, the parties shall continue to implement the terms of this Agreement. The arbitral award will be final and binding upon the parties, and the party receiving the

Page 23 of 26

award may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party has the right to institute an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator. Any such action in a court of competent jurisdiction must be conducted in and use English language.

Except for the obligation to make payment when due, each Party shall be excused from liability for the failure or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement by reason of any event beyond such Party’s reasonable control including but not limited to Acts of God, fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, or other natural forces, war, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, accident, destruction, or other casualty, any lack or failure of transportation facilities, any lack or failure of supply of raw materials, any strike or labor disturbance, or any other event similar to those enumerated above. Such excuse from liability shall be effective only to the extent and duration of the event(s) causing the failure or delay in performance and provided that the Party has not caused such event(s) to occur. All delivery dates under this Agreement that have been affected by force majeure shall be tolled for the duration of such force majeure.

12.10 Notices. Any notice to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and delivered either in person, by any method of mail (postage prepaid), by internationally-recognized express courier, by email, or by facsimile, to the party to be notified at its address(es) given below, or at any address such party has previously designated by prior written notice to the other.
