MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Master Services Agreement (“Agreement”), effective as of the last date written on the signature page below (“Effective Date”), is between ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ARIAD”) with a business address at 26 Landsdowne Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02139, and Biologics, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Vendor”), with an office at 120 Weston Oaks Court, Cary, North Carolina, 27513. ARIAD and Vendor may also be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and collectively, as the “Parties.”

The Parties agree as follows:

Services. Vendor shall provide to ARIAD the services (collectively, the “Services”) specified in the Statement of Work attached hereto as Schedule 1 and any subsequent Statements of Work or scope of work documents approved in writing by ARIAD (each, a “Statement of Work”). Once executed, each Statement of Work shall be automatically governed by the terms hereof and incorporated by reference herein. The Services shall be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein and in accordance with the Statement of Work for each project. Unless a Statement of Work specifically states otherwise, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Statement of Work, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. The Services for each project shall be performed by the Vendor personnel identified in each relevant Statement of Work, unless otherwise approved by ARIAD.

2.	Payment.

2.1.

ARIAD shall compensate Vendor for the satisfactory performance of the Services according to the terms set forth in each Statement of Work. Subject to ARIAD’s prior written approval, ARIAD shall also reimburse Vendor for reasonable, necessary and documented expenses directly incurred in connection with the Services. ARIAD must approve in writing in advance any additional fee or expense.

2.2.

Vendor must address all invoices for Services to ARIAD and send them to the attention of ARIAD’s Accounts Payable Department at [***]. All invoices shall contain an itemized breakdown of all fees and expenses (and be accompanied by relevant supporting documentation), and shall be payable within 30 days after receipt; provided, however, that ARIAD may contest any invoice or portion thereof, to the extent that it reasonably believes that the charges reflected therein are inappropriate or lack a clear basis (paying all charges that are appropriate). Once any such issue or concern is resolved, ARIAD shall pay any remaining appropriate charges within thirty (30) calendar days of the date that such resolution occurs.

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

2.3.

The Parties intend that all compensation paid hereunder will comply with the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b) and its implementing regulations (the “Federal Anti-Kickback Statute”). Vendor represents and warrants that: (i) the fees set forth in each Statement of Work represent fair market value for the performance of the Services; (ii) it performs similar services for other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies pursuant to written services agreements; and (iii) the fees payable under each Statement of Work are consistent with the level of fees charged by Vendor for similar services. The Parties agree that the compensation set forth in each Statement of Work has not been determined in a manner that takes into account the volume or value of any referrals of business otherwise generated or that may be generated between the Parties for which payment may be made in whole or in part under any federal health care program. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the compensation is not overtly or covertly, directly or indirectly, a rebate or discount on the purchase of ARIAD products.
