SOURCE LEUKOCYTES
AND PLASMA AGREEMENT
FOR TRANSFUSIBLE BLOOD PRODUCTS
FOR IN VIVO HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH USE
THIS SOURCE LEUKOCYTES AND PLASMA SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the Effective Date (as defined below) by and between The American National Red Cross, Penn-Jersey Blood Services Region (“ARC”), a non-profit corporation with offices located at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 and Macrocure Ltd. (“Customer”), a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel with a place of business at 0 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx 00000, Israel.
ARC provides blood services, including the collection of blood from donors and the testing, packaging and distribution of blood, blood components and derivatives, to those in need of such products and services throughout the United States.
Customer desires to engage ARC to provide certain services in support of a clinical trial, as more fully described below, and ARC is willing to provide such services, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
ARC and Customer are parties to a Manufacturing Agreement dated July 11, 2010 (the “Manufacturing Agreement”), pursuant to which ARC and Customer agreed to enter into a supply agreement to serve as the general framework for, and to govern the supply of, the BRM (as such term is defined below) by ARC to Customer.
ARC has the know-how, expertise, capability, experience and the infrastructure necessary to supply the BRM to the American Red Cross Cell Therapy Laboratory at the Penn-Jersey Region of American Red Cross, located at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (or other location as mutually agreed by the parties), in accordance with the terms hereof.
This agreement constitutes the Supply Agreement contemplated in Article 3.1 of the Manufacturing Agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises set forth below and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the ARC and Customer (the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:
1.0 Responsibilities of ARC
1.1 ARC will use reasonable efforts to provide source leukocytes and plasma products (“Services”) in connection with Customer’s clinical trial (the “Clinical Trial”), the protocol for which is entitled “A Phase Ill, Multinational, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of CureXcell™ as an Adjunct to Good Wound Care Measures in Treating Lower Extremity Chronic Ulcers in Adults with Diabetes Mellitus” (the “Clinical Protocol”). The Clinical Protocol is attached to this Agreement as Attachment A. In providing the Services, ARC will use reasonable efforts to collect source leukocytes and plasma (“Blood Related Material” or “BRM”) from eligible volunteer donors according to the Clinical Protocol). IRBs at other institutions participating in the Clinical Trial (including without limitation Customer’s IRB) will be responsible for conducting independent reviews of the Clinical Trial. The Parties agree, therefore, that the ARC IRB is not the IRB of record for these other institutions, each of which is responsible for compliance with regulations for the protection of human subjects of research at their respective sites. ARC will not be obligated to provide any Services to Customer until the Clinical Trial has met applicable regulatory and other legal requirements, including without limitation, review and approval by all required IRBs (including third party IRBs), receipt of confirmation that each such subject participating in the Clinical Trial has given all necessary informed consent and execution of required investigator agreements. Customer will provide a copy of their institutional IRB approval memo to ARC prior to the start of Services.
1.2 To the extent that ARC collects BRM requested by the Customer hereunder and determines that such BRM are acceptable under the terms of this Agreement as set forth in Attachment B, ARC will notify the Customer that the BRM are ready for shipment/pickup and the Customer will arrange for a courier. BRM supplied by ARC will meet the specifications set forth in Attachment B and will conform to FDA requirements and will be supplied in final finished form, including primary packaging and outer labeling in compliance with the relevant regulations, free and clear of any encumbrances or liens.ARC will document as part of the record the qualification parameters as mutually agreed to by the Parties.
2.0 Responsibilities of the Customer
2.1 Customer will submit a written request to ARC for Blood Products specifying the types, quantities and desired delivery dates with a minimum of seven (7) calendar days prior to the desired delivery date. This may come via electronic mail through the ordering system being used by Customer.
2.2 Customer will obtain all necessary approvals to use the BRM, including the approval of any IRB to the extent required by the Regulations (as defined in Article 3.0) prior to using such BRM.
2.3 Customer will make timely payment to ARC in accordance with Article 6.0.
2.4 ACCEPTANCE Customer will promptly inspect each shipment of BRM upon receipt and promptly upon discovery report to ARC all information concerning any BRM for which Customer has discovered or suspects irregularity, labeling error, damage, non-compliance or loss in shipping. In the event that the BRM delivered does not conform to the specifications or bears a labeling error and Customer rejects the BRM, ARC shall not charge Customer for such delivered BRM, and ARC shall make reasonable efforts to dispatch to Customer conforming replacement BRM.
2.4.1 Within two hours (2) hours of delivery to Customer, Customer must notify ARC of its rejection of BRM for failure to conform to the specifications as set forth in Attachment B and notify ARC of the circumstances giving rise to the rejection. If Customer does not reject the BRM in conformance with this Section, the BRM will be deemed accepted. Section 6.2 notwithstanding, Customer ‘s obligation to effect payment for any BRM alleged by Customer not to be in compliance with the specifications set forth in Attachment B shall be held in abeyance pending resolution of the matter.
2.5 Customer will ensure that the BRM are only used in accordance with the Clinical Protocol. Customer understands and agrees that under no circumstances may Customer use or permit the use of any BRM for any of the following purposes (each a “Prohibited Purpose”):

4.0 Withdrawals Returns and Recalls.

4.2 In the event of an adverse event report or recall, or a suspected adverse event, Customer may request and ARC will assist Customer by providing relevant information to determine whether the relevant donor (later) tested positive for any diseases tested for by the ARC; provided that the ARC will not reveal the identity of any blood donor.
5.0 Ownership: Ownership of the BRM is transferred to Customer’ upon delivery of those BRM by ARC to the carrier or Customer’s designated location, regardless of the method of shipment. At that time, Customer will own the BRM and be solely responsible for any loss, destruction or damage to them, as well as any liability arising from the BRM. Claims for loss of or damage to the BRM are the responsibility of Customer and should be reported to the carrier and ARC within forty-eight (48) hours of Customer’s first awareness of the loss or damage.

Customer will pay a late fee on all amounts outstanding in excess of thirty (30) days following the date of invoice at an annual average rate of eighteen percent (18%), computed at one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or, the maximum percentage established by the governing law referenced in Section 9.3, whichever is lower. Customer’s eligibility for discounts is in ARC’s sole discretion.
