8.3

Acceptance/Rejection of Product.

 

8.3.1

[*] following the Release of a cGMP Batch, Customer may inspect such cGMP Batch and shall have the right to independently test or have tested such cGMP Batch to determine that the cGMP Batch was manufactured in accordance with cGMP and that it meets the Specifications.  Customer shall notify Lonza in writing of any rejection of a cGMP Batch based on any claim that it was not manufactured in accordance with cGMP or fails to meet the Specifications within [*] of the later of Release or Customer’s receipt of all required documentation for such cGMP Batch, after which time, in either case, any un-rejected cGMP Batch shall be deemed accepted, subject to Customer’s right to reject any Batch at a later time for latent defect, provided that such latent defect was not reasonably detectable and the Customer notifies Lonza

28

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.


 

of such latent defect within [*] after its discovery, provided that such latent defect is discovered within [*] of the date of Release.  

 

8.3.2

In the event that Lonza believes that a cGMP Batch has been incorrectly rejected, Lonza may require that Customer provide to it cGMP Batch samples for testing.  Lonza may retain and test the samples of such cGMP Batch.  In the event of a discrepancy between Customer’s and Lonza’s test results such that Lonza’s test results fall within relevant Specifications, or there exists a dispute between the Parties over the extent to which such failure is attributable to a given Party, the Parties shall cause an independent laboratory promptly to review records, test data and perform comparative tests and/or analyses on samples of the Product that allegedly fails to conform to Specifications.  Such independent laboratory shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.  The independent laboratory’s results shall be in writing and shall be final and binding save for manifest error.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by the Party against whom the independent laboratory rules.

Any such Failed cGMP Batch shall be deemed to be a “Lonza Responsibility.” Such replacement shall be made as promptly as practicable, in light of available manufacturing capacity at the Visp Facility or the Porrino Facility as applicable (with the decision as to which facility to use being at Lonza’s discretion), after the confirmation of Lonza Responsibility, and in any case as soon as reasonably possible after confirmation of Lonza Responsibility.  Where possible, such replacement Batch shall be manufactured as part of the next Campaign. [*] acknowledges and agrees that [*]. [*] Raw Materials or Customer Materials consumed in any Failed cGMP Batch for which Lonza Responsibility has been established as set forth in this Clause 8.3.3, [*]. If Customer received a refund for the Failed cGMP Batch (including a refund for the applicable Raw Materials Fee) or did not pay in full for the Failed cGMP Batch (including the applicable Raw Materials Fee), then it shall pay for the replacement cGMP Batch in full together with the Raw Materials Fee for such replacement Batch. If Customer wishes to use the Failed Batch for laboratory use (not for in vivo purposes) then  the Parties shall discuss and agree an appropriate sum for which Customer shall pay for such Failed Batch, this shall not reduce the obligation on Customer to pay for any replacement Batches. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 8.3.3 shall apply to failure to achieve Specification.

13Confidentiality

13.1

A Party receiving the other Party’s and/or any of the other Party’s Affiliates’ Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) agrees to strictly keep secret any and all such Confidential Information received during the Term from or on behalf of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) using at least the same level of measures as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in any case at least reasonable efforts.  Confidential Information shall include the terms of this Agreement, information disclosed in any form including but not limited to in writing, orally, graphically or in electronic or other form to the Receiving Party, observed by the Receiving Party or its employees, agents, consultants, or representatives, or otherwise learned by the

13.2

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Receiving Party may disclose to any courts and/or other authorities Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which is required pursuant to applicable governmental or administrative or public law, rule, regulation or order.  In such case the Receiving Party will, to the extent legally permitted, inform the other Party promptly in writing and reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking to minimize the extent of Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed to the courts and/or authorities and/or in seeking a protective order.

13.3

The obligation to maintain confidentiality under this Agreement does not apply to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, which:

 

13.3.1

at the time of disclosure was publicly available through no breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or

13.3.5

is developed by the Receiving Party independently from and without use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as evidenced by competent evidence.

13.4

The Receiving Party will use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only for the purposes of this Agreement and will not make any use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for its own separate benefit or the benefit of any Third Party including, without limitation, with respect to research or product development or any reverse engineering or similar testing.

13.5

Each Party will restrict the disclosure of Confidential Information to the officers, employees, consultants, under a duty of confidentiality, and representatives of itself and its Affiliates who have been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and who have a need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of this Agreement.  Prior to disclosure to such persons, the Receiving Party shall bind its and its Affiliates’ officers, employees, consultants and representatives to confidentiality and non-use obligations no less stringent than those set forth herein.  The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party as promptly as practicable of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. Lonza may disclose Customer’s Confidential Information to its Affiliates, sub-contractors and External Laboratories, to the JV Entity and the Contract Facility for the purposes of the Services provided that such sub-contractors and External Laboratories are bound by written obligation of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those contained in this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall at all times be responsible for any breach or

39

Customer may disclose the terms of this Agreement to any actual or potential partner with which it enters into any form of partnering arrangement, provided that: (i) such disclosure is solely for the purpose of such Third Party evaluating a partnering arrangement with Customer; (ii) it redacts the financial terms of this Agreement (but Customer shall have the right to disclose the Batch Prices to any bona fide potential or actual partner who would bear and/or share the Batch Prices for the Product, provided that Customer notifies Lonza in confidence of the identity(ies) of such partner(s) receiving such Batch Prices information); (iii) it enters into a confidentiality agreement with such Third Party on terms no less onerous and no less protective than those contained in this Clause 13; and (iv) it shall at all times be responsible for any breach of confidentiality by such Third Party.

13.7

The Receiving Party shall at all times be fully liable for any and all breaches of the confidentiality obligations in this Clause 13 by any of its Affiliates or the officers, employees, consultants and representatives of itself or its Affiliates.

13.8

Each Party hereto expressly agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the undertakings of confidentiality provided under this Clause 13 by a Party may cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party and that money damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to the Disclosing Party for any breach or threatened breach.  In the event of any breach and/or threatened breach, then, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and any other relief deemed appropriate by the Disclosing Party.

13.9

Neither Party shall provide access to any sharepoint site or intranet site established for the purpose of exchanging data and information in relation to this Agreement to any Third Party without: (a) the prior written consent of the other Party; and (b) such Third Party entering into a separate confidentiality agreement with such other Party in a form reasonably agreed by such other Party.

Valid Issuance of Stock.  The Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Services Agreement for the consideration and on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Services Agreement, will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, based in part upon the representations of the Purchaser in this Agreement, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws or applicable exemptions therefrom.  

Governmental Consents.

No Conflict.

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.


 

(iii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any provision of any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party and by which it is bound that is filed with the SEC or (iv) to the Company’s knowledge, any law, rule or regulation currently in effect having applicability to the Company.

Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the Effective Date as follows:

Authorization; Due Execution.  The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.  All action on the part of the Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken.  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.

Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Shares purchased by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the immediate resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same (provided that this shall not prevent the Purchaser from selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in the future in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act (as defined below)).  The Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person other than an affiliate of the Purchaser to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Shares, if issued.

Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has received all the information that it has requested and that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to enter into this Agreement and to acquire the Shares.  The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares.

Investment Experience. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.  The Purchaser has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Nasdaq Limitation.  The issuance of the Shares to the Purchaser will not result in the Purchaser beneficially owning, immediately following the issuance, in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock or voting power of the Company.

Restrictions on Transfer

Rule 144.  The Purchaser understands that the Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom and acknowledges and agrees that the Shares to be purchased hereunder are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act as in effect from time to time and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.  The Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things:  the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. The Purchaser further understands that after the prescribed holding period as set forth in the in the Securities Act (as defined below), such restrictions on its rights to sell the Shares may expire (in accordance with Section 4.3 below).

Restrictive Legend.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each certificate representing the Shares purchased hereunder shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

Legend Removal.  The Company will instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Shares (or any portion thereof) unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend(s) are satisfied, until such time as a transfer is made, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to a registration statement or, if the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act or this Agreement, until such opinion of counsel (satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) has been received by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will act reasonably in requesting the removal of the restrictive legend after the Purchaser has satisfied the requirements of the Securities Act and provide the opinion described above if requested.

Miscellaneous.
