1.2(a) below), and as may be further described and developed in amendments to
Exhibit D, will be sufficient and appropriate for Clonmel to meet all of
its obligations under the Product Agreements (referred to herein as “Fitness for
Purpose”). Clonmel will use its best efforts at each stage of the construction of
the Build-Out Facility to provide plans and specifications that if executed, will
provide a Build-Out Facility that complies with Clonmel’s Fitness for Purpose
representation and warranty. If Clonmel determines that a change to the plans and
specifications is necessary, Clonmel must obtain Advancis’ prior approval pursuant
to clause 2.6(a) of this Agreement. Upon the completion of the construction of the
Build-Out Facility, if the Build-Out Facility fails to meet the Fitness for Purpose
standard, Clonmel shall be solely responsible for correcting any flaws and providing
a Build-Out Facility that complies with the Fitness for Purpose standard.
1.2. | Subject to clause 1.3, Advancis shall, within[***] days after receipt of Clonmel’s invoice therefore, pay Clonmel for the actual amounts paid or to be paid by Clonmel for: |

(b) | expenditures by Clonmel in respect of the Build-Out Equipment (in accordance with Section 2 below). |
1.3. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause 1.2: |
(a) | all sums payable by Advancis under this Agreement shall be exclusive of VAT; Clonmel is solely responsible for all VAT, in respect of any of the transactions or activities contemplated in this Agreement; and | ||
(b) | All funds paid by Advancis to Clonmel that are for costs not yet incurred shall promptly be paid by Clonmel, without deduction or set off, to any Exhibit D Third Party in accordance with Clonmel’s obligations under the applicable Approved Build-Out Document or for the applicable Build-Out Equipment, and Clonmel shall promptly deliver to Advancis documentation confirming in reasonable detail such payments to such parties. |

(b) | any amount paid or agreed as due by Clonmel, including pursuant to the Approved Build-Out Documents, in respect of penalties, interest, damages, indemnification or other similar obligations of Clonmel that do not constitute fees for services rendered by an Exhibit D Third Party (for the avoidance of doubt, this clause cannot be used by Advancis to avoid any indemnification obligations under clause 10.2 of this Agreement); or | ||

Advancis shall agree to any amendment to Exhibit D and any modification to any Approved Build-Out Document in respect of work reasonably required in order that the Build-Out Facilities achieve Fitness for Purpose. If the parties cannot reasonably agree to a modification to Exhibit D, the dispute shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of Section 14. | |
1.7. | Clonmel shall procure all works, and each Approved Build-Out Document shall provide that all works shall be performed by each Exhibit D Third Party, on a transparent cost basis with Advancis having a right to information on price build up and access to overhead and profit figures for the purpose of approving bids. |

(d) | Clonmel shall cause each item of Build-Out Equipment, including Build-Out Equipment purchased directly by Advancis, to be installed at the Build-Out Facility in accordance with the timetable set forth in Exhibit B (for the avoidance of doubt, this clause cannot be used by Advancis to avoid any indemnification obligations under clause 10.2 of this Agreement). Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Clonmel shall be entitled to use such equipment solely to manufacture Products for Advancis or otherwise to perform its obligations under the Product Agreements. | ||
(e) | Advancis shall, within [***] days after receipt of Clonmel’s invoice therefore, reimburse Clonmel for its actual out-of-pocket cost (including any applicable taxes, transportation fees and installation charges invoiced to Clonmel by the supplier of any Build-Out Equipment, other than, in all instances, VAT), for the purchase and installation of the Build-Out Equipment, excluding all such equipment listed in Part 3 of Exhibit B (and any costs incurred by Clonmel in respect of the equipment listed in Part 3 of Exhibit B shall be to Clonmel’s account and Clonmel shall be entitled to no reimbursement of those costs by Advancis pursuant to this clause, Section 1 above or otherwise).

2.3. | At the request of Advancis, Clonmel shall execute and deliver such documents, make such public filings and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to protect the rights, title and interest of Advancis in the Build-Out Equipment where ownership in such is specified to vest with Advancis, as indicated on Exhibit B, including affixing labels or otherwise marking that Build-Out Equipment in a manner to indicate Advancis’ ownership thereof. |
2.4. | (a) | Subject to sub-clause (b) and (c), Advancis may, at any time and from time to time on reasonable notice to Clonmel, in its sole discretion and it its sole cost, remove any Build-Out Equipment that is located at the Build-Out Facilities or otherwise at Clonmel’s facilities where in Exhibit B the ownership in such is specified to vest with Advancis. |
(b) | Advancis indemnifies Clonmel in respect of any costs, loss or damage incurred by Clonmel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, loss or damage incurred by Clonmel by reason of a breach of any agreement with Advancis for the supply and manufacture of the Product) where Advancis exercises any rights pursuant to sub-clause (a) above. | ||
(c) | Advancis may not remove any item of Build-Out Equipment in Clonmel’s possession from the Build-Out Facilities or elsewhere where any payment due to Clonmel from Advancis in respect of such equipment (pursuant to clause 2.1 or otherwise) is outstanding. | ||
(d) | For avoidance of doubt, Advancis shall have no obligation to remove from the Build-Out Facilities any Build-Out Equipment and shall not be liable for any Build-Out Equipment that it elects to abandon.

Clonmel shall have no liability or obligations whatsoever to Advancis in respect of any Build-Out Equipment deemed to have been abandoned by Advancis pursuant to this sub-clause. |
2.5. | The terms of the purchase agreements between Advancis and the suppliers for any items of Build-Out Equipment supplied by Advancis pursuant to clause 2.1(b) shall be reasonably acceptable to Clonmel.

- 6 -
(a) | Clonmel acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the construction of the Build-Out Facility, Advancis shall approve all invoices and bids and all deviations from plans and specifications, [***], and Clonmel shall not proceed without first obtaining such approval.

In addition, Clonmel shall provide Advancis with reasonable access to the Build-Out Facility. | ||
(b) | Clonmel shall take all necessary steps to facilitate and assist the construction process and in no way hinder any contractor either in performance of work or in accessing the site. | ||
