3.2. | Equipment. |
3.2.1 | Pall shall sell to KindredBio and KindredBio shall purchase the Equipment specified in Pall’s Quote in proposal#80.012018.01.19 attached hereto in Appendix A. The Purchase Price for the Equipment in proposal #80.012018.01.19 shall be [* * *] from the list price. In addition, prior to this Agreement, Pall sold to KindredBio and KindredBio fully paid the non-discounted List Price, for certain Equipment as well as certain Consumables as specified in PO #NS-KIN001619, and for reference, is included in Appendix B. Pall, by way of this Agreement and included in proposal #80.012018.01.19 applied a [* * *] discount to that Equipment previously purchased and paid for by KindredBio as part of PO #NS-KIN001619. For clarity, the Parties acknowledge and confirm that the Equipment purchased through PO #NS-KIN001619 shall remain governed and controlled by the original terms and conditions referenced on Quote #20795926, also included in Appendix B, for PO #NS-KIN001619 and not by the terms of this Agreement. |

During the Term, KindredBio agrees to purchase Consumables used in connection with the Equipment and for other non-Facility sites of KindredBio, from Pall in the minimum quantities as agreed in Appendix C. For clarity, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate or require KindredBio to purchase all of its Consumables from Pall, or create an exclusive relationship between the Parties.

4.1. | Purchase Orders. KindredBio shall from time to time deliver to Pall purchase orders (each, a “Purchase Order”) for the Goods. All Purchase Orders for Goods shall be delivered within the lead time in the applicable Quote. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are the only terms which govern the sale of the Goods identified on KindredBio’s Purchase Order.

4.2. | Purchase Order Acceptance. Pall shall either accept or reject Purchase Orders within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Purchase Order. No Purchase Order shall be deemed accepted without Pall’s written confirmation (each acceptance, a “Sales Confirmation”). If a Purchase Order is given to Pall in accordance with Section 4.1 and the other provisions of this Agreement, and Pall notifies KindredBio that it is unable to meet the requested requirements in the Purchase Order, the Parties shall jointly discuss the Purchase Order and using commercially reasonable efforts to seek an agreeable solution (e.g., delayed delivery, reduced quantities, cancellation, etc.), including modifications or reductions to the Minimum Consumable Commitment as set forth in Section 5.2.1. |
4.3. | Cancellation of Purchase Orders. KindredBio may not cancel a Purchase Order after Pall’s Sales Confirmation unless approved in writing by Pall, except in the event that after acceptance of a Purchase Order for Consumables, if Pall notifies KindredBio of a delay or inability to deliver by the requested delivery date, the Parties will jointly discuss a solution as set forth in 4.2 above, and such resolution |

• | [* * *]% of the [* * *] Purchase Price after Sales Confirmation but prior to release to purchase materials, |
• | [* * *]% of the [* * *] Purchase Price after release to purchase materials but prior to release for fabrication, |
• | [* * *]% of the [* * *] Purchase Price after release for fabrication but prior to Equipment completion, |
• | [* * *]% of the [* * *] Purchase Price after Equipment completion but prior to release for Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) (as defined in Quote proposal #80.012018.01.19), |
o | [* * *]% of the [* * *] Purchase Price after Factory Acceptance Test passed. |
In the event that KindredBio cancels some of the Equipment pursuant to this Section 4.3, it will pay the cancellation charges specified herein only for the applicable portion of the Equipment that is cancelled, and the Parties agree to adjust the Minimum Consumable Commitment (as hereinafter defined) to reflect such partial cancellation. The adjusted Minimum Consumable Commitment will be specified in a written amendment signed by both Parties. In the event all of the Equipment is cancelled pursuant to this Section 4.3, KindredBio will pay the cancellation charges specified herein, and the Agreement will be terminated.
4.4. | Minimum Commitment. During the Term, and in consideration of the discounts offered to KindredBio hereunder, KindredBio agrees to purchase Consumables required in no less than the minimum annual volumes set forth on Appendix C (the “Minimum Consumable Commitment”).

5.2. | Delivery. |
5.2.1 | Pall shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Goods in accordance with the delivery date of the Purchase Order, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in accordance with Sections 4.2 or 4.3. Pall shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit or for any other direct, indirect, or consequential damages due to delays, including without limitation, loss of use. In the event that KindredBio does not meet its Minimum Consumable Commitment obligations due to Pall’s failure to meet delivery timeframes for Consumables that have been confirmed in writing by Pall (including but not limited to as provided in this Agreement, in accordance with the provided lead times per Section 3.3.3., in a Sales Confirmation, or an accepted Purchase Order), then the Parties will mutually agree to an equitable adjustment in the Minimum Consumable Commitment for the applicable Contract Year. |
5.2.2 | Pall may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, deliver partial shipments of Goods to KindredBio and ship the Goods as they become available, in advance of the quoted delivery date, subject to the terms in Section 5.2.4. |
5.2.3 | Pall shall deliver the Goods from Pall’s manufacturing site or its facility located in Westborough, MA (the “Shipment Point”) to the Facility or other shipping destination of KindredBio designated in a Purchase Order (the “Delivery Point”) using Pall’s standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. KindredBio shall be responsible for all unloading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Delivery Point. For clarity, the Parties agree that Goods, prior to delivery to the Delivery Point, may first be shipped to another Pall facility (which may include the facility in Westborough, MA) (the “Interim Delivery Point”). All title, risk of loss, and costs and expenses in shipping to the Interim Delivery Point shall remain with Pall until the Goods are shipped to KindredBio in accordance with Section 5.3. KindredBio must take delivery of the Equipment no later than [* * *]. |
5.2.4 | If KindredBio fails or is not able to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date the Goods have been delivered to the Facility (or some other date mutually agreed upon by the Parties), or if Pall is unable to deliver the Goods to the Facility on such date because KindredBio has requested a delayed delivery, or not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) title and risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to KindredBio; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Pall, at its option, may store the Goods until KindredBio authorizes the shipment or arranges the pick-up, whereupon KindredBio shall be liable for all reasonable related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable storage |
8
costs). Furthermore, any agreed payment milestone will be deemed to have occurred and Pall shall be entitled to invoice KindredBio as if achievement of such payment milestone has been achieved.
5.3. | Shipping Terms. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, delivery from Pall’s Shipment Point to the Delivery Point shall be INCOTERMS 2010 FCA (Pall’s Shipment Point). Pall will, at KindredBio’s risk and expense, arrange for the delivery of the Goods to the Delivery Point. KindredBio will pay, or reimburse Pall, for all freight charges, taxes, duties, entry fees, brokers’ fees, special, miscellaneous and all other ancillary charges and special packaging charges. |
5.4. | Non-delivery. Any liability of Pall for non-delivery of the Goods from the Shipment Point shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice respecting such Goods to reflect the actual quantity delivered, and as applicable, making an adjustment in the Minimum Consumable Commitment for the applicable Contract Year as set forth in Section 5.2.1. |
5.5. | Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss passes to KindredBio only upon shipment of the Goods from Pall’s Shipment Point to the Facility and not when shipped to an Interim Delivery Point. As collateral security for the payment of the Purchase Price of the Goods, KindredBio hereby grants to Pall a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of KindredBio in, to and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the New York Uniform Commercial Code. |
5.6. | Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods. |
5.6.1 | KindredBio shall inspect the Goods within [* * *] of receipt (the “Inspection Period”). KindredBio will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Pall in writing during the Inspection Period that any Goods does not conform to the Specifications (the “Nonconforming Goods,” “Nonconforming,” “Nonconformance,” or “Nonconformity”) during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation reasonably requested by Pall. Such notification shall identify each and every alleged Nonconformity of the Goods and describe that portion of the shipment being rejected. |
5.6.2 | If KindredBio timely notifies Pall of any Nonconforming Goods, Pall shall at its expense, and at its option (i) repair or replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by KindredBio in connection therewith. KindredBio shall ship, at Pall’s expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Goods to Pall’s |
9
notified Shipment Point. If Pall exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Pall shall, after receiving KindredBio’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to KindredBio, at Pall’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Delivery Point. If a credit or refund is issued, in addition, if applicable, the Parties will jointly discuss any necessary modifications to the Minimum Consumable Commitment for the applicable Contract Year as set forth in Section 5.2.1.
5.6.3 | KindredBio acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 5.6.2 are KindredBio’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods.

In the event of a dispute between the Parties, matters will first be referred to the Steering Committee for resolution before seeking other remedies.

KindredBio shall notify Pall promptly in writing of any claims within the Warranty Period and provide Pall with an opportunity to inspect and test the Goods claimed to fail to meet this Limited Warranty for Goods. KindredBio shall provide Pall with a copy of the original invoice for the Goods. Pall shall be responsible at its expense for all freight charges to return any Goods to Pall’s factory, or other facility designated by Pall. All claims must be accompanied by full particulars, including system operating conditions, if applicable. If the defects are of such type and nature as to be covered by this Limited Warranty for Goods, Pall shall, at Pall’s option and in its sole discretion, either: (a) accept return of the defective Goods and furnish replacement Goods; (b) furnish replacement parts for the defective Goods; (c) repair the defective Goods; or (d) accept return of the defective Goods and return payments made, or issue credits, for such defective Goods, in which case, KindredBio shall be credited |
13
with the Purchase Price of the Goods when calculating the Minimum Consumable Commitment. If Pall determines that any warranty claim is not, in fact, covered by this Limited Warranty for Goods, KindredBio shall pay Pall its then customary charges for any additionally required Service or products.
9.2. | Limited Warranty for Services. Pall further warrants that all Services performed hereunder, if any, will be performed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with applicable laws, and industry standards by qualified personnel (this “Limited Warranty for Services”). This Limited Warranty for Services shall survive for 30 days following Pall’s completion of the Services (the “Service Warranty Period”). In the event of a warranty claim under this Limited Warranty for Services, KindredBio shall inform Pall promptly in writing of the details of the claim within the Service Warranty Period. Pall’s liability under Limited Warranty for Services is limited (in Pall’s sole discretion) to repeating the Service at Pall’s sole expense that during the Service Warranty Period does not meet this Limited Warranty for Services or issuing credit for the nonconforming portions of the Services. If Pall determines that any warranty claim is not, in fact, covered by the foregoing Limited Warranty for Services, KindredBio shall pay Pall its then customary charges for any additional Services performed by Pall. |
9.3. | Warranty as to Third Party Products. Products manufactured by a third party (“Third Party Product”) may constitute, contain, be contained in, incorporated into, attached to or packaged together with, the Goods. Third Party Products shall be covered by the warranty in Section 9.1. |

Pall does not warrant against, and in no event shall Pall be liable under this Agreement for, damages or defects arising out of improper or abnormal use, misuse, abuse, improper installation (other than by Pall), application, operation, maintenance or repair, alteration, accident, or for negligence in use, storage, transportation or handling or other negligence of KindredBio. In no event shall Pall be liable for any Goods repaired or altered by someone other than Pall and other than pursuant to written authorization by Pall. |
9.5. | Exclusive Obligation. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 5.6.2, 9.1 AND 9.2 ARE EXCLUSIVE. THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR GOODS AND THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR SERVICES ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATIONS OF PALL WITH RESPECT TO THE |
14
DEFECTIVE GOODS AND SERVICES, RESPECTIVELY. PALL SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OTHER OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THE GOODS, SERVICES, OR ANY PART THEREOF, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 5.6.2, 9.1 AND 9.2 SHALL BE KINDREDBIO’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND PALL’S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN.
10. | LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & INDEMNIFICATION. |
10.1. | IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, REMANUFACTURING COSTS AND REWORK COSTS, DE-INSTALLATION OR RE-INSTALLATION COST, WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN DISCLOSED IN ADVANCE BY THE OTHER PARTY OR COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN BY THE OTHER PARTY, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, AND WHATEVER THE FORUM, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE MANUFACTURE, PACKAGING, DELIVERY, STORAGE, USE, MISUSE OR NON-USE OF ANY OF ITS GOODS OR SERVICES OR ANY OTHER CAUSE WHATSOEVER.

10.2. | IN NO EVENT SHALL KINDREDBIO’S AND PALL’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED [* * *]. |
10.3. | The limitation of liability set forth in Section 10.2 above shall not apply to (i) liability resulting from a Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) death or bodily injury resulting from Party’s acts or omissions; or (iii) claims under Section 11.2. |
10.4. | Indemnification |
10.4.1 | Pall Indemnification: Pall hereby agrees to save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless KindredBio and its Affiliates and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants and agents (each, a “KindredBio Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (“Losses”), to which any KindredBio Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action, investigation or other proceeding by any third party including, without limitation, property damage, death or personal injury of third parties (a “Claim”) to the extent caused by |
15
Pall’s negligence or willful misconduct, or Pall’s breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pall shall have no obligations under this Section 10.4 to the extent that any such Claim arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of any KindredBio Indemnitee.
10.4.2 | KindredBio Indemnification: KindredBio hereby agrees to save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Pall and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, consultants and agents (each, a “Pall Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Pall Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim to the extent caused by from KindredBio’s negligence or willful misconduct or KindredBio’s breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, KindredBio shall have no obligations under this Section 10.4 to the extent that any such Claim arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of any of a Pall Indemnitee. |
10.4.3 | Indemnitee Obligations: A Party that makes a claim for indemnification under this Article 10.4 shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any action, claim or other matter in respect of which such Party, intends to claim such indemnification; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice within a reasonable period of time shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure. The indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnitor, at its discretion, to settle any such action, claim or other matter, and the indemnified Party agrees to the complete control of such defense or settlement by the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement that would adversely affect the indemnified Party’s rights hereunder, or impose any obligations on the indemnified Party, without indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No such action, claim or other matter shall be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action, claim or other matter covered by the indemnification obligations of this Article 10.4. The indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be represented in such defense by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense. |
11. | INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. |
11.1. | Ownership of Materials. All Pall devices, Pall designs (including drawings, plans and specifications), estimates, prices, notes, electronic data and other documents or information prepared or disclosed by Pall, and all related intellectual property rights (collectively, “Pall Intellectual Property”), shall remain Pall’s property. No right, |
16
title or interest in any patents, trademarks, trade names or trade secrets, or in any pattern, drawing or design for any such product of Pall or in any other Pall Intellectual Property, shall pass or transfer to KindredBio under this Agreement and Pall shall at all times retain ownership rights therein.
11.2. | Intellectual Property Indemnification. Pall agrees to indemnify KindredBio and its officers, directors, employees, and permitted successors and assigns against and hold them harmless, at Pall’s expense, against Claims or liability for U.S. or other applicable foreign patent, trademark, or other intellectual property infringement, and from all Losses actually incurred by them (provided that, this indemnity does not require KindredBio to incur costs of defense, settlement or judgment prior to Pall’s obligations hereunder), to the extent arising out of any Claim that the Goods infringe any intellectual property right of any third party, provided that Pall (a) has sole control of the defense or settlement of such claim; (b) receives prompt written notice of the existence of any claim entitled to indemnification above from KindredBio, and (c) receives full cooperation from KindredBio in the defense and settlement of such claim. KindredBio shall not, without the prior written consent of Pall, settle or compromise any such claim, or consent to the entry of judgment of any such claim against Pall. In the event that some or all of the Goods is held or is believed by Pall to infringe, Pall shall have the option, at its discretion and at Pall’s expense to (i) modify the Goods to be non-infringing; (ii) at Pall’s sole cost and expense, obtain for KindredBio a license to continue using the Goods; or if (i) or (ii) are not commercially reasonable, (iii) require the return of the infringing Goods and all rights thereto from KindredBio and refund the total Purchase Price paid by KindredBio for the returned infringing Goods prorated over the length of the Term. |

Except as expressly set forth in this Section 11.3, nothing herein shall be construed as granting KindredBio a license or rights to Pall’s Intellectual Property. |
11.4. | Patent or Trademark Infringement and Product Liability. KindredBio has no authorization to make any representation, statement or warranty on behalf of Pall relating to any Goods sold hereunder. PALL SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO |
17
KINDREDBIO, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR CLAIM THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THE CLAIM IS BASED ON USE OF THE GOODS IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN COMBINATION WITH KINDREDBIO PRODUCTS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT, DEVICES, MATERIALS OR PRODUCTS NOT SUPPLIED BY PALL OR USED IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT PALL’S INSTRUCTIONS OR SPECIFICATIONS OR IN A MANNER FOR WHICH THE GOODS WAS NOT DESIGNED.

12. | TERMINATION. |
12.1. | Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any limitation of any rights or remedies set forth in this Agreement, either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for cause by written notice to the other Party at any time if: |
12.1.1 | the defaulting Party fails to perform any of its material covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the payment of undisputed invoiced amounts), unless such default is cured, or a mutually agreed plan to cure is accepted by the non-defaulting Party, within thirty (30) days of delivery of written notice of such default to the defaulting Party; provided that with respect to payment of undisputed invoiced amounts, the cure period for payment shall be ten (10) days from delivery of written notice of such default; |
12.1.2 | any representation or other statement of fact by the defaulting Party set forth in this Agreement shall prove to have been untrue when made; or |
18
12.1.3 | a Party transfers or assigns the Agreement or any part thereof in violation of the terms of this Agreement. |
12.2. | Automatic Termination.

12.3. | Independent Right. If KindredBio is in material default of this Agreement and such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after Pall’s written notice thereof to KindredBio, then Pall shall also have an independent and alternative right to suspend delivery of Goods or Services in then effective Purchase Orders upon written notice to KindredBio, provided that Pall will end such suspension upon cure of the default by KindredBio. |
12.4. | Effect of Termination; Continuing Liability. The expiration, non-renewal or termination of this Agreement shall not terminate any Purchase Order, and the terms of this Agreement shall remain effective as to any such Purchase Order, until that Purchase Order has been completed or has terminated. The notification by either Party of its intent to terminate this Agreement and/or the expiration of this Agreement, does not relieve either Party of any obligations which have accrued under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, inclusive of those terms and conditions which extend beyond the date of termination. |
13. | CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION |
13.1. | For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean all oral and written information relating to a Party, which is disclosed or made available to or learned by the other Party or its personnel in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to financial statements or data, production data, trade secrets, information relating to manufacturing and research methods and projects, production plants and other facilities, technology, apparatus, equipment and systems, marketing or customer data, prices, Specifications, information regarding the disclosing Party’s employees, officers, directors and consultants, research tools, sales information, the existence, terms or conditions of this Agreement, or other information that is not generally available to the public and that relates to the business of the disclosing Party.

13.3. | Unless otherwise authorized, upon the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement, with respect to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party will, at the direction of the disclosing Party, promptly either: (a) return such Confidential Information and provide certification to the disclosing Party that all such Confidential Information has been returned; or (b) destroy such Confidential Information and provide certification to the disclosing Party that all such Confidential Information has been destroyed. |
13.4. | If the receiving Party becomes aware of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party will promptly and fully notify the disclosing Party of all facts known to the receiving Party concerning such unauthorized use or disclosure.

13.5. | The Parties acknowledge that violation by the receiving Party, its employees, agents or representatives of the provisions of this Section 13 may cause irreparable harm to the disclosing Party, which may not be adequately compensable by monetary damages. In addition to other relief, it is agreed that the disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any actual or threatened violation of such provisions without the necessity of showing irreparable harm or posting bond. |
13.6. | Each Party agrees to hold as confidential the terms of this Agreement, except as provided in Section 13.7 and except that each Party shall have the right to disclose such terms to bona fide prospective or actual investors, lenders, business partners, |
20
licensees, sub-licensees, acquirers, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, and other third parties in connection with licensing, financing and acquisition activities, provided that any such third party has entered into a written obligation with the disclosing Party to treat such information and materials as confidential which is at least as materially consistent as the conditions imposed by this Agreement (and each Party shall remain responsible for any failure by any of the foregoing persons, to whom a Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information, to treat such information and materials as required under this Section 13).

With a vast internal network of experienced scientists and project managers our PDS teams provide unique strategies including comprehensive upstream/downstream process development and scale-up that can be leveraged to facilitate rapid development and reduced time to facility start-up.
Critical to the process and equipment support of our global customer base are numerous other Pall technical groups including the Bioprocess Specialist team (BPS), Scientific Laboratory Services (SLS), Instrument Services Group (ISG), and Field Service.
3.3 | Assurance of Supply |
This section summarizes Pall Corporation’s Business Continuity Plan that has been developed to minimise the potential of any product manufacturing interruptions. Our plan considers, but is not limited to, the assessment of various exposures such as pandemic, natural disasters, fire, chemical spills, supplier risk, Information Technology, protecting our intellectual property, manufacturing capability and capacity.
Pall facilities have established Disaster Recovery Plans and Emergency Preparedness Plans to address the potential issues specific to each site or location. The overall Disaster Recovery programs are defined and overseen globally by Pall Corporation EHS and executed locally by the site General Managers.
Pall has assessed and prepared global guidelines to be followed by our employees in the event of a pandemic illness event. Standard activities include, even when there is not a threat of pandemic, annual influenza vaccinations offered to Pall employees and continual review of outbreaks to provide guidance and pass along CDC/WHO recommendations as necessary. These plans are managed and communicated by Global HR and Regulatory / Quality.
The risk our critical suppliers pose is managed by the Global Supply Chain organization. At a minimum, annually, the potential impact to customers due to supplier risk is evaluated. A risk assessment by supplier is performed and gaps identified. Mitigation plans are established and timelines are developed for execution. Such action plans may include long term supply agreements, change notification agreements, quality agreements, inventory plans BCP analysis. Where possible alternative sources are identified and qualified. Annually, the financial viability of key suppliers is reviewed. Performance monitoring of suppliers also assists in evaluating potential long-term risk due to quality and supply.
A recovery plan exists to protect Pall Information Technology and Communication systems. Pall maintains policies and procedures for frequent and routine data backup and off-site storage to allow restoration in the event of a catastrophic event. Critical servers hosting databases and global ERP systems are mirrored and placed in separate locations to allow for ‘switching’ should one site become inaccessible. Additionally, Pall tests and validates upgrades and patches to ensure consistency, security and validity of data. Security of our systems is paramount for Pall and we utilise and maintain strong virus protection systems.
Pall considers our confidential intellectual property to be essential in maintaining a strong business and as such our corporate legal team is involved with continuously monitoring and providing guidance and training. Annually all technical, sales, engineering and personnel interfacing with customers and
7
suppliers are required to complete training regarding Intellectual property practices and confidentiality. We insist upon the use of confidentiality agreements with customers and suppliers to help ensure that this type of information is maintained as confidential and handled with due care.
Manufacturing capability and capacity is another key element in our business continuity plan. Our operations group annually reviews key elements to ensure that a continuity of supply is maintained. Where possible, duplicate manufacturing lines for various products exist in different manufacturing locations. The equipment, procedures, specifications, environments and systems are developed so that a given product could be produced in either location, if necessary. Pall maintains a global change control system to ensure that changes are implemented in all applicable locations. Our global resource Enterprise Resource Planning system also allows Pall to manage inventory globally, regardless of physical location, aiding in customer order fulfilment. Capacity by manufacturing line is reviewed at least annually to ensure supply in growing markets can be sustained. Management review meetings are held jointly with operations and the commercial groups help to assure alignment and highlight upcoming needs from our customers.
Communication to the public of critical information regarding Pall is managed by the Pall Corporate Communications office while customer specific notifications are handled by the business unit, marketing and sales organisations. The plans noted above are held confidential to Pall and not distributed externally; however, portions are available for review during site visits, or audits, if necessary.
4 | Scope of Supply |
4.1 | Equipment |
The specific scope of supply of equipment can be found in the Equipment List of Attachment G01.The Pall proposed process solution is detailed in the separate tabs of Attachment G01. The equipment list includes reference to Numbered attachments, which provide detailed technical information for each piece of equipment. Pall’s scope includes supply of the process equipment needed for the proposed unit operations and does not extend beyond. Specifically excluded is all involvement with buildings, infrastructure, utilities, IT, Distributed Control System (DCS) & MES systems outside of the boundary of the process skid.
4.2 | Facility Design |
It is understood that KindredBio/CRB is responsible for the overall facility design, including utility supplies. However, it is understood that Pall as the equipment supplier would need to be fully involved in equipment layout to ensure optimized ergonomics and utility point placement. The labor for this support is part of the overall project coordination, design and engineering support and project management described in section 4.3.
Upon request by Kindred, Pall would be able to discuss 3D facility concepts in more detail.
4.3 | Project Management & Process Engineering |
Embedded into the solution proposal is overall Project Management and Process Engineering support throughout the project which. This support is vital to the success of an Integrated Solutions project.
8
Based on the offered scope of supply we have estimated the work to be ~2 full time equivalent (FTE) for one year. This includes activities such as:
• | Project management and co-ordination of all activities for the Pall equipment and services delivered from multiple sites and departments, with a one face contact for KindredBio |
• | Planning and Progress Reporting |
• | Engineering/Design support for equipment integration into Westborough MA for scale-up and efficacy runs and integration to the Elwood Kansas facility |
• | Point of contact for all technical inquiries |
• | Point of contact for troubleshooting during the complete project life cycle until equipment handover. |
Roles and responsibilities between KindredBio and PASS will be described in a commonly agreed and signed Project Quality Plan (PQP).
Part of the PQP will be a detailed project schedule, approval procedures, and the qualification approach.
4.4 | Automation |
Pall has proven PLC based automation solutions that can be interfaced directly with a Delta V or other control system. However, for this proposal we have included for use only the Pall standard PLCs and Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) from our standard technologies. It is assumed that KindredBio would undertake all work necessary to interface our proposed solution to a DCS. All the Process Variable & Alarm data is available for connection to any DCS via OPC / Ethernet connections. This is standard and included.
For facility site qualification activities Pall would require more detail to define added costing for any request for Pall’s involvement.
4.5 | Consumables |
As part of the project scope Pall Project Management will coordinate the defining, designing, quoting, and delivering optimal biocontainers, manifold solutions, and manifold routings in and between the different unit operations.
Consumable designs and costs are currently not included in this proposal but will be supplied as part of a separate quotation.
4.6 | Documentation |
The equipment costs include Pall standard documentation packages for each equipment type. Indices of the turn over packages are provided as appendices within the technical documents in Attachment G02. Should KindredBio have additional documentation needs beyond the standard offering a request can be made and cost impact would be provided.
9
The documentation language is assumed to be English.
4.7 | Commissioning and Qualification |
Pall promotes a verification approach derived from the ASTM 2500 guide lines. A key document of this approach is a verification test matrix and documents that outline the test scope included in the quotation can be found in the appendices of the technical documents in Attachment G02. The test matrices define which tests are done at what stage in the project and the main aim is to plan testing activities and avoid any unnecessary repeat testing.
All testing for FAT and SAT will be performed based on the Pall standard test protocols. The impact of additional tests required by the customer should be assessed and will be charged accordingly.
It should be noted that the software packages provided are commercially off the shelf solutions. The validation files are available at Pall and operational verification testing can therefore be kept to a minimum.
4.7.1 | Pall Internal Testing (Pre-FAT) |
Before customer participation (FAT), Pall internally performs a complete set of documented installation & operational verification tests. These tests are documented according to Pall standard test protocols and fulfill all requirements to be considered as verification (IV/OV) tests.
4.7.2 | Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) |
After equipment fabrication and pre-testing by Pall additional verification testing for all major process equipment is performed with KindredBio participation. This includes testing of the SU Chromatography, SU TFF and MVP systems at the Pall facility in Westborough and testing of the Bioreactors, Columns, slurry tank and packing equipment in Portsmouth UK. Combined FAT of all equipment at the Pall US facility can be discussed. Other standard equipment such as mixers and storage totes will be provided with factory inspection protocols. No further customer witnessed testing has been considered for the FAT stage.
4.7.3 | Process Runs in Westborough MA |
Following completion of the FAT activities selected equipment will be installed and set up in a dedicated area at the Westborough facility for the scale up and efficacy runs. The execution of these process runs are part of the Process Development Services Agreement and are not considered part of this quotation.
4.7.4 | Site Activities at Kindred in Kansas |
4.7.4.1 | Off-Loading and Installation |
Equipment off-loading and assembly at Elwood Kansas are not in the scope of supply and can be supported by Pall on demand. The additional days will be charged based on a daily rate after request and order. It should be noted that all equipment supplied are mobile sub units without any major
10
disassembly for transportation. However, Pall is available to supervise the off-loading of equipment if delivery schedule allows for no more than 2 site visits for such activities.
4.7.4.2 | Site Acceptance Test (SAT) |
After delivery to Elwood Kansas the SAT will be performed to ensure proper functionality of all the equipment.
4.7.4.3 | IQ/OQ (Optional) |
The current scope of activities does not include any further testing following completion of the SAT. KindredBio can leverage all the relevant IFAT/SAT & OFAT/SAT tests into their own IQ/OQ for the overall plant. Upon request Pall can support IQ/OQ activities (documentation and/or execution) based on a daily rate.
4.7.4.4 | Training |
Operator training on the equipment in Elwood Kansas is included in the scope of supply based on Pall’s standard offering. This includes training on set up and operation of the equipment.
Any future additional requests for training can be quoted separately.
4.8 | Equipment Service Contracts |
To effectively provide an equipment service contract and pricing, KindredBio and Pall shall discuss the scope of maintenance and service-type desired for the Elwood Kansas facility.
4.9 | Exclusion and Clarifications |
The quotation currently includes all equipment for the operation of a production plant in line with the flow diagrams discussed and agreed with KindredBio/CRB/Pall. The use of the same equipment in various process steps has been considered in line with these discussions.
The equipment list and pricing provided is based on Pall’s standard systems and does not include any customizations. Any requests for customizations will be assessed for impact to pricing and schedule.
The current proposal and equipment sizing is based on a model process. In the absence of any specific verified process data no performance guarantees are provided beyond the performance data listed in the Pall equipment data sheets.
Consumables are not included in scope with exception of standard test manifolds for single- use Chromatography, TFF and MVP systems.

5. | Title and Risk of Loss: Title and risk of loss passes to Buyer upon the earlier of (i) delivery of the Goods at the Seller's Shipment Point or (ii) deemed delivery pursuant to clause 3.4 above.

The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the New York Uniform Commercial Code. |
6. | Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods: |
6.1 | Buyer shall inspect the Goods [* * *] of receipt (the "Inspection Period"). Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of any nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as required by Seller. Such notification shall identify each and every alleged nonconformity of the Goods and describe that portion of the shipment being rejected. Seller shall then respond with instructions as to the disposition of the Goods. |
6.2 | If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the nonconforming Goods to Seller's Shipment Point.

The Purchase Price is based on the project schedule defined in this Agreement, Sales Confirmation or applicable contract documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set out herein, in the event of any delay to Seller's delivery schedule caused by Buyer or its representatives (other than for Force Majeure or delays caused by Seller), including without limitation, a suspension of work or the project, a postponement of the delivery date or failure to timely issue of a notice of commencement or similar document, then the Purchase Price shall [* * *] of such delay and this Agreement shall be construed as if the increased Purchase Price were originally inserted herein, and Buyer shall be billed by Seller on the basis of such increased Purchase Price. |

All such taxes will be for Buyer's account and will be paid by Buyer to Seller upon submission of Seller's invoices. Buyer agrees to make tax accruals and payments to the tax authorities as appropriate. If Buyer is exempt from any applicable sales tax or equivalent, but fails to notify Seller of such exemption or fails to furnish its Sales Tax Exemption Number to Seller in a timely manner and Seller is required to pay such tax, the amount of any such payment made by Seller will be reimbursed by Buyer to Seller upon submission of Seller's invoices. |

11.1 | Limited Warranty for Goods.

Buyer shall notify Seller promptly in writing of any claims within the Warranty Period and provide Seller with an opportunity to inspect and test the Goods or service claimed to fail to meet this Limited Warranty. Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of the original invoice for the product or service, and prepay all freight charges to return any Goods to Seller's factory, or other facility designated by Seller. All claims must be accompanied by full particulars, including system operating conditions, if applicable. If the defects are of such type and nature as to be covered by this Limited Warranty, Seller shall, at its option and in its sole discretion, either: (a) accept return of the defective Goods and furnish replacement Goods; (b) furnish replacement parts for the defective Goods; (c) repair the defective Goods; or (d) accept return of the defective Goods and return payments made, or issue credits for, such defective Goods.

In the event of a warranty claim under this Limited Warranty for Services, Buyer shall inform Seller promptly in writing of the details of the claim within the Service Warranty Period. Seller's liability under any service warranty is limited (in Seller's sole discretion) to repeating the service that during the Service Warranty Period does not meet this Limited Warranty for Services or issuing credit for the nonconforming portions of the service. If Seller determines that any warranty claim is not, in fact, covered by the foregoing Limited Warranty for Services, Buyer shall pay Seller its then customary charges for all services performed by Seller. |
11.3 | No Warranty as to Third Party Products. Products manufactured by a third party ("Third Party Product") may constitute, contain, be contained in, incorporated into, attached to or packaged together with, the Goods.

For the avoidance of doubt, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY (a) WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY; (b) WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (c) WARRANTY OF TITLE; OR (d) WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY; WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE. With respect to any Third Party Product, the warranty, if any, is provided solely through the manufacturer of such Third Party Product, the terms of which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and Seller assumes no responsibility on their behalf. For Third Party Products, specific warranty terms may be obtained from the manufacturer's warranty statement. |
11.4 | Other Limits.

In no event shall |

Seller be liable for any Goods repaired or altered by someone other than Seller other than pursuant to written authorization by Seller.
11.5 | Exclusive Obligation. THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE. THE LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR SERVICES ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATIONS OF SELLER WITH RESPECT TO THE DEFECTIVE GOODS AND SERVICES. SELLER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OTHER OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THE GOODS, SERVICES, OR ANY PART THEREOF, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 11.1 AND 11.2 SHALL BE THE BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND SELLER'S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.1 AND 11.2. |

No right, title or interest in any patents, trademarks, trade names or trade secrets, or in any pattern, drawing or design for any of the Goods or in any other Seller intellectual property right, shall pass or transfer to the Buyer and Seller shall at all times retain ownership rights therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller grants Buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use any such material to the extent necessary and solely for Buyer's use of the Goods purchased by Buyer from Seller hereunder. Buyer shall not disclose any such material to third parties without Seller's prior written consent.

20. | No Waiver: No waiver by Seller of any of the provisions of this Agreement is effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by Seller. Seller's failure to exercise, or to delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement, or to insist on Buyer's strict performance of these Terms shall not operate as or be construed as a waiver by Seller. |
21. | Force Majeure: Whenever performance by Seller of any of its obligations hereunder, is substantially prevented by reason of any act of God, strike, lock out, or other industrial or transportation disturbance, fire, lack of materials, law, regulation or ordinance, war or war conditions, or by reason of any other matter beyond its reasonable control, then such performance shall be excused, and deemed suspended during the continuation of such event and for a reasonable time thereafter, delayed, or adjusted accordingly. |
