5.3

In view of the necessity for SYNCO to realize optimal use of the Facility and to be able to schedule the use of equipment and personnel, ADVAXIS shall reserve a Slot and pay a non-refundable amount in the amount as set forth in the applicable Service Specific Addendum (the “Reservation Fee”) in respect of such reservation upon signing the applicable Service Specific Addendum concerning the performance of the Engineering Batch. Furthermore, ADVAXIS shall reserve a Slot and pay a Reservation Fee in respect of such reservation at the latest (6) months prior to the date on which the manufacturing of a GMP Batch is scheduled as described in the applicable Service Specific Addendum. Such dates for reserved Slots shall be in accordance with the Time Schedule requirements agreed upon by ADVAXIS and SYNCO in accordance with the Service Specific Addendum. In the event that the Technology Transfer Phase or Process Development Phase as applicable is extended and agreed in writing by both Parties in the form of an RFC, SYNCO will use its reasonable best efforts to postpone the reserved Slots, without ADVAXIS losing its Reservation Fee for the applicable Batches. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the request for extension is one month before a reserved Slot, ADVAXIS will lose its Reservation Fee. ADVAXIS may set-off this Reservation Fee with any amounts payable by ADVAXIS in respect of the Manufacturing Activities, of the relevant Batch, to be performed under the applicable Service Specific Addendum, but not with any amounts payable in respect of the other Services as provide under the applicable Service Specific Addendum. In the event there is a delay in the utilization of the Slot that is not related to the Process Development Activities and due to failure of SYNCO to meet its Time Schedule in accordance with the Service Specific Addendum, including any delay pursuant to Article 16.1, such Reservation Fee for any Slot will be held by SYNCO and utilized toward the reservation of a new Slot. In the event there is a delay in the utilization of the Slot that is not related to the Process Development Activities and due to failure of ADVAXIS to meet its Time Schedule obligations in accordance with the Service Specific Addendum, such Reservation Fee will not be refundable to ADVAXIS; however, SYNCO will use its reasonable best efforts to utilize the Slot with another customer, and in the event SYNCO is able to do so, SYNCO will utilize the existing Reservation Fee from ADVAXIS for a new Slot without further charge to ADVAXIS. If however, SYNCO is unable, despite its reasonable best efforts, to utilize the Slot for another customer, ADVAXIS will not be refunded the deposit and will have to provide an additional deposit for use with a future Slot, if any.

SYNCO agrees to perform the number of Runs indicated in the applicable Service Specific Addendum, which Runs shall result in Product manufactured under GMP, in all material respects, which may be used in Clinical Studies, but not for commercial use.

 

7.3

Subject to Article 16.1, any Batches manufactured during the Manufacturing Phase shall on the date of delivery to ADVAXIS conform to the GMP Specifications, as described in the applicable Service Specific Addendum, and when manufacturing GMP Batches SYNCO shall conform to the GMP Procedures, as described in the applicable Service Specific Addendum in all material respects. Promptly following receipt of any Product delivered pursuant to Article 7.7, ADVAXIS shall conduct a visual inspection acceptance test of such Products and verification of all accompanying documents provided by SYNCO, including without limitation, the CoA and/or CoC.

 

7.4

ADVAXIS shall advise SYNCO within sixty (60) days from the date of delivery or thirty (30) days from receipt of the BPRs, whichever is earlier, that the Products do not conform with GMP Specifications (as may be in effect from time to time). Any and all non-conforming Product shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, be returned to SYNCO, at SYNCO’s cost, for investigation and possible further testing. If after its own analysis of the alleged non-conforming Product, SYNCO confirms that the returned Product are non-conforming Product, then SYNCO shall replace the quantity of non-conforming Product free of charge, as soon as reasonably possible. ADVAXIS will supply SYNCO free of charge with Materials required for such replacement Batch. Replacement of the non-conforming Batches by SYNCO pursuant to this Article 7.4 shall be the sole responsibility of SYNCO with respect to non-conforming Batches and the sole remedy of ADVAXIS in lieu of all other rights and remedies that might otherwise be available to ADVAXIS. The failure to notify SYNCO of any non-conformity within the time periods stipulated in this Article 7.4 shall result in forfeiture of any and all rights ADVAXIS might otherwise have, under this Agreement, under Applicable Law or otherwise, in respect of such non-conforming Batches. For clarification purposes, if the Batch does not meet the GMP Specifications due to a failure of the process not attributable to SYNCO then SYNCO has no obligation to repeat such Batch free of charge.

7.5

If the Parties disagree whether Batches conform to the GMP Specifications, then the Batches in dispute will be tested and further analyzed by a qualified independent testing laboratory reasonably acceptable to both Parties. Such laboratory's testing will determine, using representative samples, whether the Batches conform to the GMP Specifications. The results of such laboratory will be final and binding to SYNCO and ADVAXIS. SYNCO will bear the cost of such testing if the testing demonstrates that the relevant Batches do not conform to the GMP Specifications and ADVAXIS will bear the cost if the results demonstrate that the Batches do conform to the GMP Specifications.

 

7.6

The Parties agree that, in the event ADVAXIS wishes to postpone or cancel (any of) the Runs (for clarification a Run can be an Engineering Batch or GMP Batch), ADVAXIS shall notify SYNCO thereof in writing as soon as possible. If the Slot is already reserved at the time ADVAXIS notifies SYNCO of its desire to postpone (any of) the Runs, SYNCO shall advise ADVAXIS within one (1) month after having received the notification for postponement whether an alternative date is available and if so, what the additional cost, for ADVAXIS shall be and SYNCO shall also advise whether ADVAXIS will lose its Reservation Fee, or whether a replacement customer for the Slot is available and, if so, whether ADVAXIS may move its existing Reservation Fee to a new Slot. If the Slot is already reserved at the time ADVAXIS notifies SYNCO of its desire to cancel (any of) the Runs, ADVAXIS will pay the Cancellation Fees for the relevant Batch as indicated in Article 7.9.

14.2

(ADVAXIS Termination Right) Following consultation with the Steering Committee, ADVAXIS shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement or the Service Specific Addendum, without cause and without penalty, at any time upon 60 days prior written notice, if ADVAXIS determines at any stage that: (i) it will not be possible for SYNCO to complete the Technology Transfer Activities, Process Development Activities and/or Analytical Testing Development Activities, and/or Manufacturing Activities to be performed for scientific or technical reasons; (ii) it will not be commercially feasible to carry out the Technology Transfer Activities, Process Development Activities and/or Analytical Testing Development Activities and/or Manufacturing Activities to be performed by SYNCO hereunder; or (iii) the Facility will not be approved for the clinical or commercial manufacture of Product(s) by an applicable Regulatory Authority; provided, that, in any such case, ADVAXIS shall pay SYNCO for: (1) all reasonably incurred Services-related uncancellable commitments to third parties for Technology Transfer Activities, Process Development Activities and/or Analytical Testing Development Activities; and (2) all reasonable and verified costs directly attributable to authorized Technology Transfer Activities, Process Development Activities and/or Analytical Testing Development Activities and/or Manufacturing Activities performed prior to the date of such termination notice; and (3) any wind down or other costs resulting from such termination to the extent such wind down or other costs are incurred during the thirty (30) day notice period.
