A COMPLETE VERSION OF THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION REQUESTING CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934.

This MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of January 15, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), is between MEDPACE and SPONSOR. MEDPACE and SPONSOR are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, SPONSOR is in the business of developing and obtaining regulatory approval of the marketing and sale of pharmaceutical products and or biological products, and or medical devices; and

WHEREAS, MEDPACE is engaged in the business of providing services related to the design and execution of clinical development programs involving drugs, biologics, and medical devices through engagement by its clients, the sponsors of clinical development programs, to perform such services; and

WHEREAS, SPONSOR desires to engage MEDPACE to perform certain services as set forth hereinafter in connection with certain clinical trials (“Services”), all in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Parties agree as follows:

1. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS

1.1

MEDPACE hereby agrees to perform Services for SPONSOR from time to time. The precise Services to be performed by MEDPACE shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties and set forth in one or more task orders (each a “Task Order”), a sample form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each Task Order shall be signed by an authorized representative of each Party, although neither Party is obligated to execute any Task Order. Each Task Order shall include detailed information concerning a given project, including a description of the specific Services to be provided (“Scope of Work”), project milestones and target completion dates (“Project Schedule”), a detailed budget (“Project Budget”), and a schedule of payments related to the Project Schedule and the Project Budget (“Payment Schedule”). A given Task Order may specifically identify the Key Employees (as defined below) assigned by MEDPACE to perform the specific Services under the Task Order. Each Task Order shall also contain a Transfer of Obligations list (“Transfer of Obligations”) in conjunction with the relevant Task Order and

consistent with the regulations set forth in 21 C.F.R. Section 312, Subpart D (Responsibilities of Sponsors and Investigators). Any responsibilities not specifically transferred in the Transfer of Obligations shall remain the regulatory responsibility of SPONSOR.

1.2

MEDPACE and SPONSOR may agree on certain key employees who will perform Services under a Task Order (“Key Employees”), a list of whom shall be included in such Task Order. The Parties may from time to time amend the list of Key Employees under a Task Order by written agreement signed by authorized representatives of each Party. [***].

2. PROJECT SCHEDULE

2.1.

In all events, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to comply with each Task Order.

2.2.

If at any time either Party anticipates a delay in meeting the timelines for a given Task Order as set forth in its Project Schedule, either due to changes to the Services requested by SPONSOR, or other causes (such as FDA approval of a competitor’s NDA for the same drug, which may adversely affect patient enrollment), then the anticipating Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing, specifying the reason for the delay and the anticipated effect upon the timelines, milestones or other deliverables.

3. CHANGE ORDERS

3.1.

Any material change in the Services required under a Task Order or the assumptions upon which the Task Order is based may require changes in the Scope of Work & Project Budget, Payment Schedule or Project Schedule. Every such material change shall require a written amendment to the Task Order (a “Change Order”). Each Change Order shall detail the requested changes to the applicable task, responsibility, duty, budget, timeline or other matter. The Change Order will become effective upon the execution of the Change Order by both Parties, and the Change Order will specify the period of time within which MEDPACE must implement the changes. Both Parties agree to act in good faith and promptly when considering a Change Order requested by the other Party but neither Party is obligated to execute a Change Order. No Change Order shall become effective unless and until it is signed by both Parties. Any changes that result in additional charges shall be reflected in the Change Order to the affected Task Order, which shall include an updated Project Budget and/or Payment Schedule, as necessary.

4. PROJECT BUDGET, PAYMENT SCHEDULE, AND TERMS

4.1.

The SPONSOR agrees to pay MEDPACE for Services rendered pursuant to the Project Budget and Payment Schedule included in each Task Order.

4.2.

The SPONSOR agrees to reimburse MEDPACE for reasonable pass-through expenses incurred by MEDPACE in providing the Services, to the extent such expenses are set forth in the relevant Task Order or otherwise approved by the SPONSOR. All expenses billed to SPONSOR by MEDPACE must be accompanied by appropriate documentary evidence, such as receipts or other documentation reasonably acceptable to SPONSOR. No indirect, mark-up, administrative or other type of additional fee or expense will be applied to pass-through expenses. [***].

The Parties acknowledge and agree that any third parties (including but not limited to investigators, institutions or site management organizations) paid with any funds in connection with the performance of Services under this Agreement or any Task Order shall not be considered the agent, employee or subcontractor of MEDPACE.

[***].

4.2.1 MEDPACE will prepare an invoice summarizing the monthly milestones met by the third party and the payment owed to the third party (“Invoice”), and MEDPACE will send the Invoice to SPONSOR. Upon receipt, SPONSOR will have [***] business days to review the Invoice and on or before the [***] business day, shall wire MEDPACE all undisputed amounts listed on the Invoice so that MEDPACE receives all undisputed amounts listed on the Invoice on or before the [***] business day. Any disputed amounts shall be addressed as provided for in Section 4.3 hereof. A “Study Site” means the physical location at which a particular investigator conducts a study, and also includes any investigator, sub-investigator, institution, or site maintenance organization associated with the particular investigator. Third parties specified on an Invoice may include but are not limited to Study Sites.

4.2.2 [***].

4.3.

For any payments not otherwise specified in Section 4.2 hereof, SPONSOR shall mail payments for all undisputed amounts due to MEDPACE within [***] days after receipt of a written invoice and required supporting documentation as applicable. In all cases, SPONSOR will notify Medpace of any disputed amounts within [***] days (“SPONSOR’s Dispute Notice”) following the date of receipt of any invoice or request for payment from Medpace. The Parties will use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute within [***] days following the date of SPONSOR’s Dispute Notice. If any undisputed amount has not been received as set forth in this Section, MEDPACE may so inform SPONSOR by written notice. If such amount is not paid within [***] days of the date of such notice (the “Grace Period”), MEDPACE will have the right, from the date first following the Grace Period, to apply an annual interest rate of [***]% to such outstanding undisputed amount.

4.4.

SPONSOR agrees to furnish existing, publically available audited financial statements to MEDPACE upon MEDPACE’s request. Such financial statements shall be used by MEDPACE solely for internal review purposes to determine credit requirements.

MEDPACE and SPONSOR are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties.”

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, SPONSOR is in the business of developing and obtaining regulatory approval of the marketing and sale of pharmaceutical products and or biological products, and or medical devices; and

WHEREAS, SPONSOR and MEDPACE are parties to a Master Services Agreement effective January 15, 2010 (the “Agreement”) under which SPONSOR engages MEDPACE from time to time to perform certain services in connection with certain clinical trials (“Services”), all in accordance with and subject to the terms of such Agreement; and

WHEREAS, SPONSOR and MEDPACE desire to amend the Agreement as described below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Parties agree as follows:

1.	Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

The term of the Agreement shall be extended for an additional three (3) years, and will expire on the later of (a) January 15, 2016 or (b) the completion of all Services under the last Task Order executed by the Parties prior to January 15, 1016.
