(a)

an exclusive right to use, re-label, repackage, re-aliquot, offer for sale or disposal, sell or dispose of, have sold or disposed of, distribute, have distributed, import, keep, and market the Product and Bundled Product(s) within the Field in the Exclusive Territory; and

2.1.3

Oxford’s Label. Subject to Subsection 6.2.3, Oxford may sell the Product only under its label within the Field in the Territory, directly and through third party distributors.

Section 2.2. Maintenance of the Right.

2.2.1

License or Transfer of T-SPOT. Except in the case of: a) an acquisition of Oxford or a disposal of the T-SPOT platform (in which case Subsections 18.8.2 or 18.8.4 shall apply) or b) licences granted or implied to be granted to a purchaser through the sale or other disposal of the Product solely to permit the intended use of that Product (whether such purchaser is an end-user or other person distributing or private-labelling the Product in a manner permitted by Article 6.2.3), Oxford shall notify StemCell in writing within thirty (30) days of licensing, transferring or otherwise granting rights to T-SPOT to any third party (each an “Oxford Transferee”), and shall provide StemCell with the identity of such Oxford Transferee and a description of the licensed or transferred rights, including the affected application and territory.

-6-

technologies (including the Product) for their T-SPOT applications and StemCell shall have the right to deal with such Oxford Transferee in any manner whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the right to grant them a license to the Right, but in respect of only the affected application and territory) notwithstanding that the Right is otherwise exclusive. For the sake of clarity, during the continuance of this Agreement, nothing in this Subsection 2.2.1 shall be construed to give StemCell the right to grant any rights under the Right to any third party who is not an Oxford Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, StemCell’s right to contact an Oxford Transferee is without prejudice to its obligations under Section 15 and, in making any such contact, StemCell shall not reveal the existence, or any information concerning the operation or performance, of this Agreement.

2.2.2

Performance Criteria for Maintenance of the Right in the Infectious Disease Field. In the event that Oxford has not received regulatory approval and offered the Product for sale in the Infectious Disease Field in one of: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, USA or Japan by the fifth Agreement Anniversary Date, then StemCell shall, at its sole option, have the right to either terminate the Right in the Infectious Disease Field, or convert the Right in the Infectious Disease Field to non-exclusive.

2.2.3

Performance Criteria for Maintenance of the Right in the Non-Infectious Disease Field.

(a)

In the event that Oxford has not commenced clinical trials with the Product in the Non-Infectious Disease Field by the fifth Agreement Anniversary Date, then StemCell shall, at its sole option, have the right to either terminate the Right in the Non-Infectious Disease Field, or convert the Right in the Non-infectious Disease Field to non-exclusive.

(b)

In the event that Oxford has not received regulatory approval and offered the Product for sale in the Non-Infectious Disease Field in one of: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, USA or Japan by the seventh Agreement Anniversary Date then StemCell shall, at its sole option, have the right to either terminate the Right in the Non-Infectious Disease Field, or convert the Right in the Non-Infectious Disease Field to nonexclusive.

Section 2.3. Reservation of Rights.

2.3.1

StemCell shall retain all rights not expressly granted to Oxford in Subsection 2.1.1, during the Term of this Agreement and any extensions or renewals thereof.

2.3.2

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement if the Product sold, supplied, licensed or otherwise transferred by StemCell pursuant to Subsection 2.3.1 is used within the Field in the Exclusive Territory, provided that StemCell did not know and had no reasonable way of anticipating that such customer would use the Product (or re-sell the Product such that it ultimately is used by another third party) in the Exclusive Territory and within the Field.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, from time to time Oxford shall purchase quantities of the Product, and StemCell shall supply such quantities, within the specified time of delivery as set out in this Agreement.

Section 5.2. Forecasts and Orders.

5.2.1

Forecasts and Firm Orders. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and thereafter, on or before January 1^st, April 1^st, July 1^st and October 1^st of each calendar year during the Term of this Agreement and any extension or renewal thereof, Oxford shall provide StemCell with a non-binding forecast, expressed quarterly, for the following nine (9) months.

The schedule of forecast due dates for the corresponding periods are provided in Schedule “A”.

5.2.2

Ordering Process. Oxford will place orders directly with StemCell’s head office in Vancouver, Canada, using Catalog# [***] (a “Firm Order”).

5.2.3

Lead Time. Each Firm Order shall specify the quantity of the Product requested by Oxford, together with a proposed delivery date and delivery location. StemCell shall not be obligated to deliver the Product earlier than [***] ([***]) days after the date of the Firm Order (the “Lead Time”); however, StemCell shall endeavour to meet delivery dates within the Lead Time (i.e. earlier than [***] days) in the event that such a delivery date is requested by Oxford. StemCell shall meet the Lead Time for amounts in Firm Orders that had been previously forecasted or which exceed the forecast by [***] percent ([***]%) or less. If any Firm Order exceeds Oxford’s most recent forecasted amount by more than [***] percent ([***]%), StemCell shall not be obligated to ship Product within the Lead Time for the portion of the Firm Order which exceeds Oxford’s forecasted amount by [***] percent ([***]%), but in any event StemCell agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Lead Time with respect to such excess amounts. Upon acceptance of a delivery date by StemCell, each Firm Order shall be binding on both StemCell and Oxford.

-11-

Section 5.3. No Variations; Buyer’s Forms.

Each Firm Order for Product made by Oxford to StemCell shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. If Oxford issues any purchase order or similar instrument in respect of the Product containing terms and conditions different from the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and StemCell does not specifically acknowledge its acceptance of such different terms and conditions in writing, the different terms and conditions of Oxford shall be deemed to be of no force and effect and Oxford shall be deemed to have accepted the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 5.4. Maintenance of Supply

5.4.1

Subject to Subsection 5.4.2, if StemCell fails to supply the Product in accordance with any Firm Order for [***] ([***]) days after the Lead Time (i.e. [***]) ([***]) days after the date of the Firm Order), StemCell will use, all commercially reasonable efforts to transfer production of the Product to a mutually agreed upon third party manufacturer. In such event Oxford will retain all rights to use the Product that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement and will be subject to all its other obligations to StemCell, including but not limited to, obligations as to Milestone Payments (Subsection 3.1.2), Exclusivity Payments (Subsection 3.1.3) (except as excluded under subsection 5.4.1 (b) below), Confidential Information (Article 15) and Reporting Obligations (Section 16.1); provided that if StemCell fails to supply the Product or transfer production of the Product to a third party manufacturer for a period of [***] ([***]) days after the date of the Firm Order, then all of Oxford’s payment obligations (excluding obligations for payments already due) shall be suspended until such time as StemCell or a designated third party manufacturer has begun to re-supply the Product in accordance with this Agreement, at which time any suspended payments shall again become payable provided that all time periods relating to such payment obligations that came due during the period of suspension shall be extended by the duration of the failure of StemCell or a third party manufacturer to supply the Product. StemCell will supply the third party manufacturer, under confidentiality provisions reasonably acceptable to StemCell, with all formulations, documentation and supplier contacts necessary for the manufacture and quality control of the Product, and will reasonably cooperate with the third party manufacturer to re-establish supply of the Product to Oxford. StemCell hereby grants, and agrees to grant, to the third party manufacturer a limited temporary “Manufacturing License” necessary to make the Product for sale to Oxford for Oxford’s use within the Field consistent with the terms of this Agreement, until such time as StemCell, in its reasonable opinion, is once again capable of supplying the Product to Oxford to meet Oxford’s needs as demonstrated by Oxford’s past purchases of the Product. StemCell shall (i) demonstrate the basis for such reasonable belief to a

-12-

representative of Oxford in writing on Oxford’s request, and (ii) recommence direct supply, before such third party manufacturing shall cease. StemCell shall be able to select from one of the following two options for pricing and other payments relating to the supply of Product to Oxford through a third party manufacturer:

(a)

StemCell may contract directly with such third party manufacturer for supply of Product; Oxford shall then continue to purchase Product in the same way as before StemCell’s inability to supply themselves. The terms and performance of this Agreement, including without limitation, the pricing of the Product to Oxford (Section 7.1) and Oxford’s obligations to pay the Exclusivity Payments (Section 3.1.3) shall not be altered by such arrangement except that the Product will be manufactured by the third party on behalf of StemCell.

(b)

StemCell may allow Oxford to contract directly with such third party manufacturer for supply of Product. In such case, prices for Product made for Oxford by the third party manufacturer will be negotiated separately and Schedule “B” will not be in effect in these circumstances. In addition, until such time as StemCell is once again able to supply Oxford (as described above), Oxford shall no longer be obligated to pay Exclusivity Payments to StemCell. Oxford will pay StemCell a royalty equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the Product purchase price paid by Oxford to the third party manufacturer for the supply of Product. Oxford will, promptly upon request, provide an independent firm of accountants (such firm to be appointed by StemCell for such purpose and not being StemCell’s auditors or tax advisors) full access to its books and records for the purpose of calculating recovery of the royalty.

Nothing in this Section 13.2.2 shall limit the amounts recoverable by StemCell from Oxford’s insurers as an additional insured, provided that any sums so recovered shall count as having been paid by Oxford for the purposes of determining the cumulative financial obligations already satisfied by Oxford (and accordingly the limit on any further obligation) pursuant to this Section 13.2.2.

Section 13.3. Set-off.

Neither Party shall be entitled to set-off any amount already due and owing (whether present, future, actual, contingent, or prospective and on any account whatsoever) by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement or on any other account whatever against any liability (whether present, future, actual, contingent or prospective) and if such entitlement arises by operation of law each Party agrees to waive the same.

Section 13.4. Insurance.

13.4.1

Oxford hereby agrees that it will at is sole expense obtain and keep in force for the term of this Agreement, and for a period of two (2) years beyond the expiration date of the last Product transferred to Oxford under this Agreement, public liability (any one claim) and products liability (in the aggregate, any one period of insurance) coverage with a twelve (12) month period of insurance and containing a limit of indemnity of not less than £[***] (GBP) for bodily injury and death and property damage per occurrence (in the case of public liability) and (in the case of product liability) in the aggregate. Oxford shall maintain an amount of insurance with such provisions (and if necessary the amount and insurance

-29-

provisions required under this Agreement shall increase to an amount and to include such other provisions) consistent with industry practices if (i) Oxford undertakes clinical trials of any product using, including, or incorporating the Product, or (ii) Oxford undertakes commercial sale of any product using, including, or incorporating the Product. The insurance shall be placed with either a company with a minimum A rating with A.M. Best and a minimum financial size category of VII, or such other company as StemCell may approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. StemCell hereby approves Oxford’s insurer at the date of this Agreement.

13.4.2

The insurance referred to in Section 13.4.1 will include StemCell as an additional insured in respect of liabilities arising out of the operations or premises owned by or rented to Oxford. Oxford shall give written notice to StemCell of any material changes, cancellation and/or terminations to that policy, or StemCell’s status as additional insured, as soon as reasonably practicable after being notified itself thereof. The policy shall also contain a Cross Liability Clause. StemCell agrees it has been provided with a certified copy of such insurance policy and endorsements prior to the date of this Agreement, and Oxford will from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request by StemCell provide a certified copy of any and all subsequent or additional insurance policies and endorsements.

13.4.3

If Oxford fails to obtain and maintain such insurance coverage in force, Oxford agrees that it shall be solely responsible to pay for any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, suits, fines, and penalties arising under this Agreement and the indemnity provisions set out in this Agreement shall apply.

13.4.4

Nothing in this section 13.4 shall relieve Oxford of any obligations contained in the other sections of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 13.1 and (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement including without limitation Section 13.2) Oxford’s liability to defend and indemnify for claims in excess of insurance policy limits. If at any time Oxford does not provide StemCell with such certificates of insurance, or if in StemCell’s opinion Oxford’s insurance coverage is not as required in this Article 13, StemCell will so advise Oxford, and if Oxford does not furnish evidence of insurance coverage in force as required in Article 13 within fifteen (15) days, the parties shall resolve such dispute concerning Oxford’s insurance coverage through arbitration in accordance with Article 17, provided that (i) the dispute will move directly to arbitration without the additional thirty (30) day delay period provided in Section 17.4, and (ii) the opinion of a third party insurance expert mutually acceptable to both Oxford and StemCell shall be made available to the arbitrators in rendering their decision (the cost of such expert shall be shared equally by Oxford and StemCell). Both Parties recognize the importance of a prompt resolution to any insurance disputes and accordingly, the Parties agree to make best efforts to address and resolve any such disputes expeditiously. StemCell shall not have the right to terminate this

-30-

Agreement under Section 11.2.2 due to Oxford’s insurance coverage not being as required in this Article 13, unless the arbitrators decide in favour of SternCell and Oxford has not implemented the decision of the arbitrators within fifteen (15) days of such decision being rendered, in which case StemCell shall have the right to (i) immediately terminate this Agreement and / or any other agreements between the parties relating to the Product, or cancel all or any outstanding orders for the Product pursuant this Agreement and / or any other agreement between the parties, and / or (ii) withhold supply of the Product until evidence of acceptable coverage is provided.

13.4.5

During the Term of this Agreement, and any extension or renewal thereof, StemCell shall carry and maintain general liability insurance as well as all other insurance required by law.

ARTICLE 14

FORCE MAJEURE

Section 14.1. Force Majeure

14.1.1

In the case of Force Majeure preventing or hindering either Party from performing or complying with any of its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, the Party affected may give written notice to the other containing reasonable particulars of the Force Majeure in question and the effect of such Force Majeure as it relates to the obligations of the affected Party hereunder and such Force Majeure will not constitute a default hereunder, provided that the Party affected by the delay makes reasonable efforts to correct the reason for such delay. Such notice whether given by Oxford or StemCell entitles Oxford or StemCell to suspend its obligations hereunder during the period of Force Majeure. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Force Majeure” means any of the following events beyond control of the Parties:

(a)

lightening, storms, earthquakes, landslides, floods, washouts and other acts of God;

(b)

substantial or material fires or explosions;

(c)

unavailability of critical raw materials;

(d)

strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances of Oxford and/or StemCell;

(e)

civil disturbances, sabotage, war, blockades, insurrections, vandalism, riots, epidemics; or

(f)

any other material event that could reasonably be considered to be Force Majeure by reason that it is beyond the control of the Party affected,

-31-

but does not include the inability of either Party to obtain financing or any other financial inability on the part of either Party. Upon receipt of such notice by the other Party, representatives of Oxford and StemCell shall promptly meet to establish plans and procedures to overcome the effects of the Force Majeure and the Party suffering the Force Majeure shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any adverse affects thereof on the other Party.

14.1.2

Except for the last sentence of this paragraph, if either Party is temporarily unable to perform its covenants and obligations hereunder because of Force Majeure, then the time limit for carrying out the same shall be extended by the effective period of Force Majeure applicable thereto, but shall not be extended for more than two (2) consecutive months in any one instance of Force Majeure and no Party may rely on more than two (2) instances of Force Majeure during the continuance of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of 5.4.1 shall not be affected or limited by Force Majeure.

ARTICLE 15

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 15.1. Confidential Information.

15.1.1

“Confidential Information” for purposes of this Agreement means: (i) all confidential information disclosed to one Party by the other Party pursuant to any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements between the Parties; and (ii) all business and technical information, whether in written or oral form and including, without limitation, this Agreement, the Product Specifications, formulations, technology, manufacturing processes, the Product Release Criteria, data, drawings, documents, procedures, know-how, trade secrets or related information and customer and supplier names and other information relating to customers and suppliers, related to the Product supplied hereunder and given by one Party to the other Party to assist in the performance of this Agreement and that are not in the public domain either at the time of transfer or at the time of termination of this Agreement, other than as a result of a breach by the Party to whom such information was disclosed of its obligations in this Article 15.

15.1.2

Restrictions. Each Party (the “Recipient”) that is the recipient of Confidential Information disclosed to it by the disclosing party (the “Discloser”) together on its own behalf and on behalf of its employees, directors, officers, consultants, subcontractors and employees of any such Persons, will hold the Confidential Information of the Discloser in confidence for such other Party and will not disclose it to any third party except in confidential filings with governmental or

-32-

regulatory agencies made for the purpose of obtaining approvals to conduct trials of, make and/or commercialise the Product or Bundled Product(s). The Recipient will take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the Confidential Information of the Discloser from unauthorized disclosure and, at a minimum, will afford the Confidential Information of the Discloser such precautions and safeguards as it affords to its own confidential information of a similar nature. The Recipient will exert commercially reasonable efforts such that their employees and agents do not analyze or reverse-engineer any samples, materials, products (including the Product), hardware or other items provided by the Discloser to the Recipient to determine their composition, method of manufacture or construction.

15.1.3

Exceptions. This Article 15 imposes no obligation on the Recipient with respect to the Confidential Information of the Discloser

(a)

which is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the Recipient,

(b)

which was legitimately possessed by the Recipient before its disclosure to the Recipient by the Discloser as evidenced by written records,

(c)

which is independently obtained by the Recipient from a source which, to the Recipient’s knowledge, was not then prohibited from disclosing such information to the Recipient under any legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation,

(d)

which is the same as information that is developed by the Recipient independently without reference to the Confidential Information of the Discloser as evidenced by written records,

(e)

which, subject to Subsection 15.1.4, is required to be disclosed by applicable law, regulation or legal process, or to the extent and in the manner approved by the Discloser in writing.

15.1.4

Legal Requirement to Disclose. If a Recipient is required by applicable law, regulation or legal process to disclose any of the Confidential Information of the Discloser, the Recipient will notify the Discloser promptly so that the Discloser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If no such protective order or other remedy is obtained or the Discloser does not waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Recipient

(a)

will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information of the Discloser which the Recipient is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed; and

(b)

will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

-33-

15.1.5

Destruction or Return of Confidential Information. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, upon request by the Discloser, the Recipient will, at the Recipient’s option and expense, promptly:

(a)

destroy all the Confidential Information of the Discloser including all such information that is electronically stored by the Recipient other than in computer backup tapes as long as those tapes are not accepted for the purpose of retrieving Confidential Information, all reproductions thereof and all samples of materials provided by the Discloser to the Recipient, in its possession or control; or

(b)

deliver to the Discloser all such Confidential Information including all such information that is electronically stored by the Recipient other than in computer backup tapes as long as those tapes are not accepted for the purpose of retrieving Confidential Information, all reproductions thereof and all samples of materials provided by the Discloser to the Recipient, in its possession or control; and

(c)

provide to the Discloser a certificate of a senior officer of the Recipient certifying such destruction or delivery, as the case may be.

except that one (1) copy of the Confidential Information may be retained by Recipient for archival purposes.

15.1.6

Pre-Existing Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties to this Agreement have an existing Confidentiality Agreement between them which was entered into on August 10, 2006, and which is hereby incorporated into this present Agreement by reference. In the event of conflict between the provisions of that earlier agreement and this Article 15, the more stringent of the two shall apply.

15.1.7

Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges the competitive and technical value and the sensitive and confidential nature of the Confidential Information of the other Party and agrees that monetary damages alone may be inadequate to protect such other Party’s interests against any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement. Accordingly, each Party consents to the granting of specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief to the other Party in respect of any actual or threatened breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages.

Accordingly, so long as StemCell is able to meet Oxford’s specifications in respect to a particular [***] product (such specifications which may include [***], price and time to perform), Oxford will, during the Term of this Agreement, and any extension or renewal thereof, acquire all of its requirements for such product from StemCell.

-35-

16.2.2

Amended Specifications. Pursuant to Subsection 16.2.1 above, in the event that StemCell fails to meet Oxford’s specifications for its future [***] product requirements, Oxford shall not provide specifications to a third party that differ in any material respect from those provided to StemCell for the same [***] product without first providing StemCell with a one (1) month period to meet such amended specifications.

Section 16.3. Right of First Refusal for T-SPOT Research Products

Oxford agrees that if it chooses to make T-SPOT or other ELISPOT-based products available to the research market via a third party, it will grant StemCell a right of first refusal to distribute such products within such research market.

In the event that StemCell does not exercise the right, Oxford shall not offer more favourable terms than those offered to StemCell for similar rights to develop and/or distribute T-SPOT or other ELISPOT-based products to the research market to any third party, without also offering such amended terms to StemCell. This right of first refusal will last for two (2) years.

Section 16.4. Accessory Devices

In the event that StemCell commercializes a [***] compatible tube during the Term, then such tube may be included as a product under the Agreement at Oxford’s option and subject to StemCell’s ability to grant such rights.
