1. Definitions and Interpretations
In this Agreement the following expressions shall have the following meanings:
1.1 “Confidential Information” shall mean any confidential or proprietary information of a
Party, Data (as defined in Section 7.2) and any other information relating to any compound,
research project, work in process, future development, scientific, engineering, manufacturing,
marketing, business plan, financial or personnel matter relating to such Party, its present or
future products, sales, suppliers, customers, employees, investors or business, whether in oral,
written, graphic or electronic form.
1.2 “Party” shall mean Clovis or Ventana as the context requires, and “Parties” shall mean
both Clovis and Ventana;
1.3 “Project” shall mean the project or projects to be undertaken under this Agreement as
described in each Schedule (as amended from time to time and by written agreement of the Parties):
14 “Services” means the work to be performed and services to be provided by Ventana in
relation to each Project pursuant to this Agreement as set out in the relevant Schedule, as amended
from time to time, and such other services in relation to each Project as may from time to time be
agreed upon by the Parties in writing.
2. Services
This Agreement governs the Services for all Projects and Services at the times and locations
specified in the Schedule in relation to each Project. All such Services and Projects will be
subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement unless otherwise mutually
agreed in writing between the Parties. Ventana shall provide the Services in accordance with the

2.0 Experimental Plan
2.1 Screening
Ventana will perform the following activities for assays to be utilized in the Ventana
Pharma Services Laboratory. Ventana will not necessarily rely on tissues sourced from
Clovis. The expected performance criteria for the assay will be clearly expressed by the
scientific teams at Clovis and Ventana. It is expected that Clovis will share all
appropriate knowledge with the Ventana team to allow determination of which cell lines,
tissues etc. will be most suitable for the development and analytical validation of the
assay at each stage. These materials could be available from Ventana’s in house resources,
shared from Clovis or may need to be procured. Procurement of materials may change
timelines and will incur pass thru costs. In Ventana’s experience it is most efficient to
identify these needs prior to commencing the assay development. The protocols for detection
of hENT1 on Ventana’s automated staining platform which are developed under this contract
will be transferred to Clovis. Reagents and kits are not produced from the prototype assays
developed under this contract.
2.1.1 Screening
Ventana
will screen the monoclonal hENT1 antibody generated by *** for suitability
for immunohistochemistry and compatibility with Ventana’s automated immunohistochemistry
platforms. This screen will consist of staining appropriate tissue specimens with the
antibodies under experimental conditions which, in Clovis and Ventana’s experience, are
likely to yield a signal.
If the antibody screening is successful, this antibody will be selected and an automated
immunohistochemistry assay for use on Ventana’s platform will be developed and
analytically validated.
If screening is not satisfactory then this will be communicated to Clovis and either 1)
an additional antibody or antibodies will be screened upon mutual agreement of
2
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL
terms by Clovis and Ventana, 2) additional assay conditions will be tested upon mutual
agreement of terms by Clovis and Ventana, or 3) the attempt will be declared a failure,
and an Antibody Screening Failure worksheet will be completed.
Ventana will perform pre-analytical experiments to determine the optimal sample
processing procedures (eg type of buffer, fixatives). Ventana will cut additional
slides and look at the stability of the hENT1 epitope over time.
If Clavis is able to provide the blocking peptide or the sequence of the epitope, then
Ventana will use this in its specificity testing.
3.1 Project Management
***
will function as the Ventana project manager for the Clovis hENT1 BIOMARKER
PROJECT. Teleconferences will be scheduled at agreed upon intervals (eg weekly) to report
on progress and make mutual decisions.
3.1 Inventory and Maintenance of Records, Slides and Blocks
Upon receipt of cell pellets, xenografts or other specimens from Clovis, Ventana will
inspect the condition of the shipment and verify the identity of all specimens listed on the
package manifest.
The information provided with the shipped specimens is logged into Ventana’s proprietary
Oracle-based laboratory management system (LMS). All specimens will be appropriately
labeled, tracked and stored in a secure locked area under proper conditions until analysis.
Ventana will retain under secure conditions all specimen blocks, stained and unstained
slides, and documentation relevant to this project for a period of
*** years after
final payment in accordance with the provisions of the Master Service Agreement. This will
include, but not be limited to: all experimental and data handling processes (SOPS);
specific notations by which the Clovis data was generated and entered into a database; and
the record layout and file transfer format as separately determined by Clovis and Ventana
during the testing process. Additionally, notebooks with hard copy results, instrumentation
calibration maintenance records for the contract period, specific validation methods and
results, and any other records relevant to the project, will be maintained. At the end of
this period, Ventana will contact Clovis to determine their requirements for further
disposition of all records and specimen materials for the Clovis hENT1 BIOMARKER PROJECT.
4.0 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
3
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL
Schedule:
Antibody screening of hENT1 will be complete by *** The duration
of this project is assumed to be approximately ***.
Unanticipated Delays: The immunohistochemistry process and analyses developed by Ventana
involve the use of several instruments and many processing steps and reagents, any of which may
fail unexpectedly. The quality controls and assurances in place at Ventana have been designed to
identify discrepancies and problems soon after occurrence to allow for a quick response and
resolution without impeding productivity. However, there may be unanticipated delays to obtaining
high quality data and in delivering data reports because of some unusually difficult problems.
Possible scenarios that may cause a delay include, but are not limited to:
• | Problems with quality, consistency, stability, or supply of antigen retrieval agents from an outside vendor (i.e. ficin) or from Ventana (i.e. citrate, EDTA, proteinase K) | ||
• | Problems with quality, consistency, stability, or supply of primary antibodies from outside vendor or from Ventana | ||
• | Problems with quality, consistency, stability of secondary and detection reagents from outside vendors or Ventana | ||
• | Instrument failure (autostainers, microtomes, automatic cover-slipper, imaging microscope, etc.) | ||
• | Loss of trained personnel due to attrition or illness |
When Ventana experiences a problem that interferes with the generation of reproducible
immunostaining and high quality data within the agreed upon timeline, Clovis will receive written
notification detailing the issues, outlining the resolution steps, and updating the timeline. It
stands to reason that if there is a failure that necessitates a repeated experimental run,
additional sections will be needed from the affected specimens in order to complete the study. A
tabulation of the additional sections required to complete the study will be communicated to
Clovis.
Likewise, in the event that Clovis experiences delays in slide collection, or makes changes in that
protocol that impacts Ventana’s responsibilities and planning, Ventana expects notification in
order to update its resource commitments and timelines with possible re-negotiations if the
anticipated impact is considered significant.

Project 2: Develop a PMA ready Class 0 Xxxxxx XXX automated in-vitro Diagnostic IHC assay for hENT1
Specifications:
An automated in-vitro Diagnostic hENT1 IHC assay will be developed by Ventana for use in Clovis
therapeutic clinical trials. This will be accomplished according to quality systems regulation
(QSR) requirements under GMP conditions. The final deliverable will be an assay ready for use in a
pivotal trial. A full development contract will be developed according to Ventana’s product
development process. Key parameters to be defined in contract include, but are not limited to,
schedule milestones, product requirements, project cost targets, and operational targets.
The key tasks include Design Goal (Feasibility phase), Design Input (Development), and Design
Output (Implementation), the details of which are outlined in Appendix B.
Control cell lines will be acquired and grown for the development of this assay.
This process will not need to be repeated if additional tumor types are to be pursued.
Timelines:
Ventana will begin work on as much of the development steps as possible before receiving the
hybridoma.
This
development project will begin when the paperwork is signed and will
end on or before *** months
of the start date. A summary of the estimated time schedules once an agreement is signed is as
follows:
Appendix A is a xxxxx chart that represents the timeline should Ventana receive the hybridoma by
the data listed. Any delay in receiving the hybridoma will delay the timeline.
Appendix B includes additional details to the deliverables and milestones in the Design Goal,
Design Input and Design Output portions listed above.
Appendix C includes the overview of hybridoma maintenance/storage and testing.

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL
2.0 Study Plan
2.1 Description of Study
Evaluation of hENT1 by an IHC assay in retrospective patient biopsies and a prospective
phase II clinical trial of patients with pancreatic cancer
2.2 Sample Procurement
Clovis will procure baseline biopsies from patients for shipping to Ventana for use in this
study. Ventana will provide detailed instructions for sample collection, labeling, and
shipping will be provided with a supply of addressed shipping containers. A detailed
description of tumor collection and shipment kits is provided in Appendix D for inclusion in
study lab manual. Blocks and slides should be packed in ice or cold packs prior to shipping
priority overnight. If requested as a feature of this agreement, appropriate fixation
(formalin) and storage (70% ethanol) solutions will also be provided for specimens. If
available, a copy of the original pathology report containing the histopathological
diagnosis should accompany each specimen (this will aid Ventana’s scientific reviewers and
pathology consultants in their evaluation of the H&Es and in the association of specific
immunostaining with disease pathology). Ventana is available to respond to any questions
from the site regarding the administrative and technical issues pertaining to preparation of
blocks/slides. In the event that Clovis experiences delays in patient recruitment or in the
collection of appropriate specimens, Ventana expects notification in order to update its
resource commitments and timelines. The desired specimen characteristics are: 1) Tissues
fixed in neutral buffered formalin (NBF); 2) Blocks preferable to slides; 3) If slides are
supplied, sections must be a) mounted on positively charged slides of the correct type, b)
have been transferred to the slide in a water bath (not by tape), c) not have been
baked (the slide containing the mounted specimen should not have been dipped in paraffin),
and d) stored at 4 C in an airtight container prior to shipment.
A minimum of 2 slides would be required but 5 slides would be desired from each patient to
conduct the analysis.
2.3 Accessioning, Processing and Analysis
After receipt and accessioning, specimens will be processed, embedded and have an H&E
performed by a board-certified pathologist to ensure that the tissue is suitable for IHC.
This will be completed within *** of receipt of the specimen. Ventana will complete
testing on Saturday if necessary to achieve the *** turnaround time. However, if the
specimen is received after *** from collection, then Ventana cannot be held to ***
turnaround. The data report form will be sent to the site and to Clovis.
H&E stain and a positive control stain are used to evaluate the suitability of the tissue
for immunohistochemical analysis. The requested staining will be performed as specified by
Translational Diagnostics’ protocol #s listed below in Table, including a negative control.
An appropriate positive control tissue is included in each staining run, as is a system
control to verify system performance.

Data are collected in a format agreed upon by Clovis and Ventana or based on Ventana’s
experience.
An appropriate scoring method will be developed based upon the literature and observational
studies.
Subcellular localization (nucleus, cytoplasm, and/or cell membrane) of antibody reactivity
will also be recorded.
Other methods may be used by Ventana’s pathologists to collect data if agreed upon by Clovis
and Ventana. Specimens which are deemed by the pathologist to be uninterpretable will be
recorded as such. Pathologists may also add comments for a more thorough interpretation of
the specimen and/or staining.
A digital image quantification system may be used. Typically, mean optical density of
staining in the expected subcellular compartment (of at least three fields per specimen, if
possible) will be measured. Samples may be excluded from image analysis at Ventana’s
discretion for the following reasons: staining pattern, specimen size, or condition of
specimen. All excluded samples will be recorded as such.
A training set of specimens collected under conditions identical to those of the study may
be necessary for algorithm refinement.
Manual pathology reads of staining of positive and negative controls are also recorded. A
positive control antibody may be used to measure the following: tissue integrity,
consistency of fixation, and/or staining capacity of the sample. A negative control, which
may consist of either species matched immunoglobulin or antibody diluent, is used to measure
background staining on a given specimen. The negative control may also be used to set the
baseline OD for an imaging system.
There are multiple reviews throughout the immunostaining process carried out by Ph.D. or
M.D. level staff, with a final analysis by a board certified pathologist.
Image analysis data from the microscope-based image analyzer are entered into the
Translational Diagnostics proprietary LMS database. The images of the stained tissue
sections that are captured by the analyzer during processing are downloaded to tapes on an
as needed basis and stored in a secure location.
The interpretation of biomarker staining by the certified pathologist (percent positive
cells and intensity determinations) is hand written on designated data collection sheets.
All
10
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL
reports (written or electronic) and other experimental information or data are collected,
verified, signed if appropriate, and stored in a designated project notebook in a fireproof
locked cabinet at Ventana.
Ventana will transfer data to Clovis electronically in a format supported by Ventana or data
will be burned onto a CD and sent by courier overnight. Ventana will export data from the
LMS into an Excel spreadsheet. The Excel spreadsheet will be designed to satisfy Clovis
regulatory needs and export will be validated to ensure data export accuracy. Project
updates along with any new data will be transferred once a month. Clovis will also receive
hard copies of all reports via express mail.
At any time during the study, if data corrections are required because of a Ventana error
that is identified either at Ventana or at Clovis, an agreement between the parties will be
drafted outlining the protocol and time line for making the necessary corrections. Upon
completion of the corrected study or analysis, all data and a regenerated final report will
be forwarded to Clovis in the agreed format at no additional charge. All corrected reports
will be designated by a version number and date with clear explanation of the circumstances
that led to an updated corrected data set being generated.
If Clovis requests a reassessment of a slide analysis that deviates from the standard
procedures at Ventana, then upon agreement on the protocol, time line and additional
charges, Ventana will make the requested revisions, regenerate the records, and forward the
corrected files to Clovis in the agreed upon format. All revised reports will be designated
with a version number, date of revisions, and a clear explanation of the circumstances that
lead to an updated data set being generated.
2.4 Data Analysis and Report
At the completion of the project, data will be communicated to Clovis in Translational
Diagnostics’ standard Study Report Package. A Study Report template is available on
request.
2.5 Post-Study Analysis
After Ventana has reported the pathology scores and/or imaging data from the blinded read, a
second nonblinded session can be arranged to examine the slides for any quantitative or
qualitative information that may pertain to patient response (correlation with other (non
IHC) biomarkers, DFS, PFS, tumor regression). A re-inspection of the slides (or subset of
the slides) may reveal subtle differences in subcellular localization, morphology, or cell
type specific staining which was not apparent in the initial read. Work performed is
subject to per diem charges as in Section 5.0.
3.0 Logistics
3.1 Project Management
11
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AGREEMENT — CONFIDENTIAL
*** will function as the Ventana project manager for the Clovis Biomarker project.
Teleconferences will be scheduled at agreed upon intervals to report on progress.
3.2 Inventory and Maintenance of Records, Slides and Blocks
Upon receipt of specimens from clinical sites, Ventana will inspect the condition of the
shipment and verify the identity of all specimens listed on the package manifest.
The information provided with the shipped specimens is logged into Ventana’s proprietary
Oracle-based laboratory management system (LMS). All specimens will be appropriately
labeled, tracked and stored in a secure locked area under proper conditions until analysis.
Ventana will retain under secure conditions all specimen blocks, stained and unstained
slides, and documentation relevant to this project for a period of *** after
final payment in accordance with the provisions of the Master Service Agreement. This will
include, but not be limited to: all experimental and data handling processes (SOPS);
specific notations by which the Clovis data was generated and entered into a database; and
the record layout and file transfer format as separately determined by Clovis and Ventana
during the testing process. Additionally, notebooks with hard copy results, instrumentation
calibration maintenance records for the contract period, specific validation methods and
results, and any other records relevant to the project, will be maintained. At the end of
this period, Ventana will contact Clovis to determine their requirements for further
disposition of all records and specimen materials for the Clovis Biomarker study.
