Fujifilm and the Customer have agreed to work together on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

In this Agreement the following words have the following meanings unless inconsistent with the context:

all Intellectual Property Rights controlled, owned or jointly owned by any party (or a third party on its behalf) prior to the Effective Date or developed independently from the Program. Fujifilm’s proprietary manufacturing, expression or purification technologies, including:

(a)   an expression system within the scope of international patent application [***] (the “pAVEway^™ Expression System”);

(b)   expression technology within the scope of international patent application [***] (the “Apollo^™ Expression Technology”); and

(c)   Fujifilm’s proprietary alcohol oxidase yeast Pichia pastoris expression system (the “Yeast Expression System”),

(“Fujifilm Expression Technology”) is Fujifilm’s Background IP;

(a)   in relation to notices given under this Agreement rather than a specific Scope of Work a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in England, the US, Denmark and/or the country in which the Customer’s head office is located; and

(b)   in relation to notices given under a specific Scope of Work a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in England if FDBK is a contracting party, the US if FDBT or FDBU is a contracting party, Denmark if FDBD is a contracting party and/or the country in which the Customer’s head office is located;

In this Agreement (except where the context otherwise requires) any words following the terms “including”, “include”, “for example” or any similar expression are by way of illustration and emphasis only and shall not limit the generality or extent of any other words or expressions.

Each Scope of Work will be entered into by FDBK, FDBT, FDBU or FDBD or a combination of FDBK, FDBT, FDBU and/or FDBD and, subject to clause 18.3, each reference to Fujifilm or a “party” in this Agreement shall apply only to such of FDBK, FDBT, FDBU and/or FDBD as is carrying out the Program under the relevant Scope of Work. Whichever of FDBK, FDBT, FDBU and/or FDBD has entered into the Scope of Work in respect of that Program shall be fully and solely responsible for the obligations and liabilities of that party under the Scope of Work.

Insofar as this Agreement obliges any party to this Agreement to negotiate, take action or to do something, that party shall conduct such negotiations, take such action or do such thing in good faith and, in the case of Fujifilm, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the result contemplated in this Agreement. There shall be a general obligation on the parties to act in good faith in relation to the matters contemplated in this Agreement.

In the case of conflict or ambiguity between terms of the main body of this Agreement, any Schedule to this Agreement or any other terms in any Scope of Work, the order of priority shall be as follows: (i) the main body of the Agreement; (ii) the Schedules to the Agreement; and (iii) the main body of the Scope of Work unless a Scope of Work specifically varies a provision of the Agreement or a Schedule to the Agreement by reference to the provision it is amending in which case the Scope of Work shall take precedence in that instance.

In the case of conflict or ambiguity between the terms of this Agreement or any specific Scope of Work and the terms of the QA Documents, the terms of the QA Documents shall prevail solely in relation to cGMP quality matters subject to clause 9.10.

Where a defined term is used in clause 9 (Liability) it shall retain its meaning even when the entire word that is a defined term is in capitals.

APPOINTMENT OF FUJIFILM

This Agreement establishes the general terms and conditions applicable to Fujifilm’s performance of each Program for the Customer and is structured so that a separate, numbered, Scope of Work (or in some cases multiple Scope of Works) shall be entered into by the parties for the provision of each Program.

The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to each Scope of Work and no Scope of Work shall be effective or binding on any party until it has been signed by an authorized representative of each contracting party.

Nothing in this Agreement or any Scope of Work shall oblige any party to enter into any Scope of Work and each Scope of Work constitutes a separate contract.

TERM

This Agreement shall come into force on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated by a party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

A party may terminate this Agreement upon giving 3 (three) months’ written notice to the others, provided that there are no uncompleted Programs existing at the date such notice is given.

Each Scope of Work will take effect from the SoW Effective Date and shall continue until the earlier of:

the date specified in the Scope of Work, or if no such date is specified, the date the Program, or part of the Program referred to in the Scope of Work is completed; or

termination of this Agreement or the relevant Scope of Work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

PERFORMANCE OF PROGRAMS

Fujifilm shall carry out each Program, or parts of a Program, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts in accordance with:

the terms of this Agreement and any Scope of Work;

Applicable Laws;

the Quality Agreement and cGMP (in both cases when applicable); and

the Process Specification for the applicable cGMP Batch (if any).

The parties agree that it shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement by Fujifilm if an objective of a Program is not achieved provided that Fujifilm has complied with its obligations set out in clause 4.1 and the cause of such non-achievement is [***]. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the services to be performed during the Programs are by their nature developmental and Fujifilm cannot (and consequently does not) guarantee to the Customer the achievement of a successful outcome for a Program, production of Conforming Batches or production of a specified volume of Product.

Each Scope of Work contains assumptions on which Fujifilm’s ability to perform the Program depends. If an assumption set out in the Scope of Work proves to be materially incorrect or actual circumstances materially differ from an assumption (including if such assumption cannot be met at such time as Fujifilm reasonably requires to enable it to perform its obligations) then the parties shall agree a Change to account for the change in assumption.

The Customer shall:

meet all its obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement, any Scopes of Work (including, in particular, any Customer dependencies set out in a Scope of Work) and the Quality Agreement;

comply with Applicable Laws; and

promptly provide all assistance, information, and advice and do all acts which Fujifilm may reasonably request to enable Fujifilm to comply with its obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement, any Scope of Work and the Quality Agreement.

QUALITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Quality Agreement

As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date the parties shall execute the Quality Agreement (unless the Quality Agreement has already been executed prior to the Effective Date).

The Customer acknowledges that Fujifilm shall not commence any cGMP activity until the Quality Agreement is executed by both parties.

Regulatory Assistance

The Customer shall provide Fujifilm with a copy of the Customer’s Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls section of any submission to a Regulatory Authority supporting the Customer’s regulatory filing activities for the applicable Drug Product or Process which relates to or contains information about the Process; the Facility (including Fujifilm equipment); the Fujifilm Services and/or the Ancillary Services (“CMC Section”) in accordance with the Quality Agreement. The Customer shall not submit a CMC Section without Fujifilm’s written approval in relation to any information regarding, or impacting, Fujifilm including any information regarding the Process, equipment, controls and analytics or any information provided to the Customer by Fujifilm related to or in accordance with the Quality Agreement.

During each Program the Customer may request assistance from Fujifilm in respect of the CMC Section, subject to payment by the Customer of a reasonable commercial rate for such assistance and Fujifilm’s reasonable expenses. However, no advice or assistance given by Fujifilm shall be deemed to be or construed as a guarantee that a Drug Product will receive regulatory approval.

Fujifilm will provide one electronic (PDF) copy of any documents which may be reasonably required by the Customer in support of its regulatory filing activities. If the Customer requires copies of the laboratory notebooks, provision of these will be subject to discussion and agreement by the parties and agreement of an additional fee associated with copying.

The Customer shall have the right and responsibility for determining regulatory strategy, decisions and actions relating to each Program and any Product and/or Drug Product subject to clause 5.2.5 and provided that Fujifilm shall have the right and responsibility for determining regulatory strategy, decisions and actions to the extent relating to:

the Facility (including in particular utilities and equipment);

Fujifilm’s quality systems, policies and internal procedures;

any requirement imposed on Fujifilm by a Regulatory Authority; or

any other commitments made by Fujifilm prior to the relevant SoW Effective Date of the applicable Program,

The Customer acknowledges that Fujifilm Quality Assurance team reserves the right to Disposition Product to the Customer in accordance with the Quality Agreement.

The Customer shall not make any change to its regulatory filings, including its Investigational New Drug application, which may have an impact on any Fujifilm Regulatory Responsibility without prior written agreement with Fujifilm.

No Debarment.

Each Party represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor any of its officers, directors, or its employees performing services under this Agreement has been debarred, or convicted of a crime which could lead to debarment, under the Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992, 21 United States Code §§335(a) and (b).

Each cGMP Batch will be determined to be a Conforming Batch or a Non-Conforming Batch.

Deviations will be handled in accordance with the Quality Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Customer acknowledges that the occurrence of a Deviation does not automatically mean that a Batch is a Non-Conforming Batch.

In respect of Conforming Batches, Fujifilm will complete Disposition, issue a certificate of analysis and a cGMP compliant statement. The provisions of clauses 6.1 and 6.6 shall apply to Non-Conforming Batches only.

If a Batch is a Non-Conforming Batch and the cause of that Batch being a Non-Conforming Batch is not a failure by Fujifilm to comply with clause 4.1 [***] then the Customer shall pay the Charges relating to the Non-Conforming Batch in full and the relevant Manufacturing Stage, Disposition and all related and ancillary activities shall be deemed to have been completed under the Scope of Work. Any further work in relation to the Non-Conforming Batch (such as analysis of the Batch) or manufacture of a replacement cGMP Batch shall be carried out at a time and price to be agreed in writing by the parties in a Change.

If a Batch is a Non-Conforming Batch and the cause of the Batch being a Non-Conforming Batch is a failure by Fujifilm to comply with clause 4.1 or caused by the Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct of Fujifilm, its employees or contractors, then Fujifilm shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to manufacture a replacement cGMP Batch (“Replacement Batch”) as soon as is reasonably practicable. In these circumstances the Customer shall pay for:

all Charges in respect of the original Non-Conforming Batch in accordance with the SoW (save that any installments of the Charges which are not due until after the date that the Non-Conforming Batch is determined to be a Non-Conforming Batch shall become due on completion of the Replacement Batch); and

the Charges for the Ancillary Services provided in relation to the Replacement Batch but the Fujifilm Services provided in relation to the Replacement Batch shall be free of charge.

If the Customer requests delivery of a Non-Conforming Batch, the parties shall agree in writing (in a Change) on fair consideration payable for that Non-Conforming Batch. Fujifilm agrees to deliver a Non-Conforming Batch to the Customer on the express condition that it (i) will not be used for human or clinical trials; (ii) will be labeled as “Not for Human Use”; and (iii) is subject to the Customer’s indemnity given under clause 9.6.

DELIVERY, TITLE AND RISK

Delivery by Fujifilm to the Customer, or the Customer’s designee, of any material in connection with the Program including any quantity of Product manufactured during the Program, any Process-Specific Equipment and/or Process-Specific Consumables and return of any samples and cell lines supplied by the Customer (“Materials”) will be made Ex Works the Facility (Incoterms 2010) and clauses 7.2 to 7.6 shall apply to such Materials. Fujifilm shall package the relevant Material ready for shipment in accordance with the Customer’s reasonable instructions.

Delivery of Materials will be deemed to be complete on the date which Fujifilm makes the Materials available for collection by the Customer (which is the point of delivery as set forth in Ex Works (Incoterms 2010)) following notification, of at least [***], by Fujifilm to the Customer that it will make those Materials available for collection (the “Delivery Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, Product subject to Disposition will not be made available for collection by the Customer until Disposition is complete and Product for which a licence is required under clause 10.3 will not be made available for collection by the Customer until a licence has been signed by the parties.

If the Customer fails to collect Materials within [***] of the Delivery Date, Fujifilm will issue a further notice to the Customer specifying that the Materials will be destroyed if they are not collected within [***] from the date of the notice. If the Customer does not collect the Materials within that [***] period, Fujifilm may destroy the Materials at the Customer’s risk and expense.

Risk in Material shall pass to the Customer on the Delivery Date; save for risk in Product for which a licence is required under clause 10.3 in relation to which risk shall pass on the date on which Fujifilm notifies the Customer it would have made the Materials available for collection if a licence had been signed by the parties.

Title to the Product shall pass to the Customer on the Delivery Date.

Title to, and risk in, the Process-Specific Equipment and/or Process-Specific Consumables purchased by the Customer in accordance with Schedule 1 shall pass to the Customer when Fujifilm has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for such items in accordance with paragraph 1.1 of Schedule 1 [***].

From time to time Fujifilm may agree to store Materials (including intermediate Product for future processing) for Customer. If Fujifilm agree to store Materials the parties will enter into a storage agreement on Fujifilm’s standard terms.

Delivery of any materials which the Customer is required to supply to Fujifilm pursuant to the SoW shall be delivered to Fujifilm DDP, the Facility (Incoterms 2010). Risk in those materials remains with the Customer [***].

PRICE AND PAYMENT

Under this Agreement, and the relevant Scope of Work, the Customer appoints Fujifilm to carry out services concerning the research and development, testing, manufacture and Disposition of the Product by Fujifilm under a Program. The Charges relate specifically to those services; and are not in consideration of the supply of any material (including Product) which Fujifilm may produce as a consequence of the performance of those services.

The Customer shall pay to Fujifilm for each Program:

the fees for the Fujifilm Services as set out in the relevant Scope of Work; and

the fees for Ancillary Services in accordance with Schedule 1, together the “Charges”.

Fujifilm may invoice the Customer for the Charges in respect of each Program in accordance with the terms set out in the Scope of Work and Schedule 1.

The Customer shall pay each invoice issued to it by Fujifilm within [***] of the date of invoice, in full and in cleared funds in the currency specified in the SoW by electronic transfer to the financial institution specified in the relevant invoice.

The Charges are exclusive of any Tax which may apply and which shall be payable by the Customer to Fujifilm at the rate prescribed by law.

If there is a change in the rate of Tax payable or in the Tax treatment of some or all of the services provided by Fujifilm or the Product, a change of law or practice or interpretation of the existing legislation or revised determination by HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) or the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), then the

The Customer shall:

be responsible for the collection, remittance and payment of any or all taxes, charges, levies, assessments and other fees of any kind imposed by governmental or other authority in respect of the purchase, importation, exportation, sale or other distribution of any materials delivered to it by Fujifilm in connection with the Program; and

make all payments under this Agreement without withholding or deduction of, or in respect of, any tax unless required by law. If withholding tax is deducted then the Customer will provide all documentation required to enable Fujifilm to recover the tax withheld.

Without prejudice to any other right or remedy that it may have, if the Customer fails to pay any sum to Fujifilm on the due date for payment:

(except where the Customer has complied with its obligations in clause 8.9 below) the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of [***] ([***] per cent) per month. Such interest shall be payable in respect of the period from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount (whether before or after judgment) in accordance with clause 8.4; and

(except where the Customer has complied with its obligations in clause 8.9 below) Fujifilm may notify the Customer that if it does not pay Fujifilm will suspend work on the Program in respect of which payment is overdue, and if payment is not made within [***] of such notice, Fujifilm may suspend such work until payment has been made in full.

If the Customer disputes the payment of any Charges or a part of them, the Customer shall:

notify Fujifilm of the disputed amount within [***] of its receipt of the invoice in which such disputed amount is included giving reasonable details of the dispute; and

pay the amount of Charges not in dispute in accordance with clause 8.4, and the dispute shall be dealt with under the dispute resolution process set out in clause 16.

If the Customer fails to pay any sum which is not the subject of a bona fide dispute under clause 8.9 when the same is due in accordance with clause 8.4 then Fujifilm may elect, at its discretion, to treat such non-payment as a material breach of either the relevant SoWs under clause 14.5.1 or a material breach of this Agreement under clause 14.2.1.

A party shall not be entitled to withhold, set off or reduce payment of any amounts payable under this Agreement by any amounts which it claims are owed to it by another party under this Agreement or any other agreement.

Liability for the Process: the Customer shall Indemnify Fujifilm from and against all Liabilities arising from third party claims incurred by Fujifilm or its Affiliates arising out of or resulting from the use or operation of the Process (or any part of the Process) except [***] to the extent that Fujifilm is liable under clause 11.1.

No claim for Liabilities incurred pursuant to the Quality Agreement may be made under the Quality Agreement by any party. Accordingly, performance of the Quality Agreement shall be deemed to be performance under the SoW to which the Quality Agreement relates and as such any breach of the Quality Agreement shall be deemed to be a breach of the relevant SoW and all Liabilities shall be construed and limited in accordance with this clause 9.

If the parties enter into a Scope of Work for stability or analytical services subject to this Agreement, the parties agree that such services shall are incidental and it is therefore reasonable that such Scope of Work may contain lower limits on Fujifilm’s Liability than are contained in this Agreement, in which case such limitation as set out in such Scope of Work shall apply to such Scope of Work.

Each party agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Liabilities that it may seek to claim from the other under or in connection with this Agreement including pursuant to any Indemnity.

the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise the Indemnity Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall ensure that any settlement or compromise does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party;

the Indemnified Party shall not make any admissions or admit liability in relation to the Indemnity Claim or otherwise settle any Indemnity Claim without the written agreement of the Indemnifying Party; and

Each party shall maintain adequate insurance (which may be through self-insurance) to enable it to satisfy its Liabilities under this Agreement as they arise.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Subject to clause 10.2 and clause 10.7, no party shall acquire any right, title or interest in another party’s Background IP.

The Customer grants to Fujifilm a royalty-free, worldwide licence to use Customer’s Background IP for the exclusive purpose of performance of the Program. Customer warrants that, to its knowledge, the use by Fujifilm (or its Authorized Third Parties) of Customer’s Background IP in accordance with this clause 10.2 shall not infringe any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights.

Fujifilm shall not be obliged to deliver any materials (including any cell bank or cell paste) comprising Fujifilm Expression Technology unless and until a licence is granted in writing on terms to be agreed under the relevant Background IP. Fujifilm shall be entitled to charge the Customer for storage of any such materials which would have been delivered under clause 7.2 if a licence had been granted under this clause 10.3 until the time that such licence is granted. Customer acknowledges that storage may be at a third party storage facility unless Fujifilm and Customer have agreed in writing otherwise. Fujifilm shall not employ Fujifilm Expression Technology in a Process without Customer’s prior written consent.

All title to and all rights and interest in any Customer Foreground IP shall vest in Customer. Fujifilm hereby assigns to the Customer all title to and all rights and interest it owns in any Customer Foreground IP.

All title to and all rights and interest in any Fujifilm Foreground IP shall vest in Fujifilm. The Customer hereby assigns to Fujifilm all title to and all rights and interest it owns in any Fujifilm Foreground IP.

If requested to do so by another party, each party shall at the expense of the requesting party execute all documents and do all such further acts as the requesting party may reasonably require to perfect the assignment under clause 10.4 or 10.5.

Fujifilm grants to Customer a royalty free, non exclusive, worldwide licence to use the Fujifilm Foreground IP and Fujifilm Background IP other than Fujifilm Expression Technology employed in a Process for the exclusive purpose of manufacturing the Product.

Fujifilm shall fully Indemnify the Customer from and against all Liabilities incurred by the Customer or its Affiliates arising out of any third party claim that Fujifilm’s use of Fujifilm’s Background IP or Fujifilm Foreground IP in performing the Program infringes such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights.

The Customer shall fully Indemnify Fujifilm from and against all Liabilities incurred by Fujifilm or its Affiliates arising out of any third party claim that:

Fujifilm’s use of (i) materials provided by the Customer to Fujifilm or (ii) Customer’s Intellectual Property Right, in accordance with this Agreement; or

(excluding Liabilities in relation to which Fujifilm Indemnifies the Customer pursuant to clause 11.1) the development or manufacture of the Product and/or any other deliverables which are an output of the Program or the use of the Process in accordance with this Agreement, infringes such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights.

If a third party claim is made in accordance with clause 11.1 or 11.2 then the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to prove that it has adequate financial means to pay out under the indemnity provisions provided for in those clauses (for example by way of set aside capital or insurance). If the Indemnifying Party cannot so prove it has the financial standing to meet its obligations with respect to the Indemnities under the applicable clause then the Indemnified Party has the option to terminate this Agreement on written notice. If Fujifilm exercises its option to terminate under this clause 11.3 then (without prejudice to the survival of the relevant Indemnity obligations) such termination shall be treated as a termination under clause 14.3.2.

Each party (the “Receiving Party”) agrees with the other (the “Disclosing Party”):

to keep the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information confidential;

not to access or use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information save for the purposes of:

complying with its obligations under this Agreement and each SoW;

complying with, or exercising its rights under, any confidentiality disclosure agreement then in force between the parties; or

undertaking activity by and between the parties to enable the parties to explore a new business opportunity involving the Customer and one or more of the other parties (“New Opportunity”);

not to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to a third party other than to the Receiving Party’s:

Affiliates;

officers and employees and those of its Affiliates that need to know the Confidential Information for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement or in relation to a New Opportunity;

contractors and sub-contractors, professional advisers, consultants and agents and those of its Affiliates who are engaged to advise that party in connection with the Program or this Agreement or in relation to a New Opportunity; and

any other person to whom the Disclosing Party agrees in writing that Confidential Information may be disclosed in connection with the Program,

The Receiving Party shall procure that each of the Authorized Third Parties agree or are otherwise bound to written or professional confidentiality, nondisclosure and nonuse obligations substantially similar to those set forth in this clause 12 and shall remain primarily liable to the Disclosing Party for any act or omission of any of the Authorized Third Parties (including failure of such Authorized Third Parties to comply with such confidentiality, nondisclosure and nonuse obligations.

The Receiving Party shall within [***] of receipt of the Disclosing Party’s written request (including after termination of this Agreement and any SoW):

deliver up to the Disclosing Party all items and copies of all or any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party;

expunge and/or make irretrievable all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party from any computer or other similar device in which it is stored and, if further requested, certify in writing signed by an authorized representative that it has done the same (provided that this clause 12.3.2 shall not apply to automatically archived electronic files or electronic back-ups made in the ordinary course of business, on secured central servers, which cannot reasonably be deleted and such electronic files shall be retained subject to the obligations of confidence set out in this clause 12); and

[***]

If a party wishes to change (“Change”) any aspect of this Agreement or any Scope of Work (including if additional or different work is requested or required such as the production of a different number of Batches or if such work is required to be carried out at a different time or if actual circumstances differ from the assumptions set out in the Scope of Work (including if such assumptions cannot be met at all or in a timely fashion)) then Fujifilm shall draft a Change document using its standard format for that Change and the Change shall not be effective until the applicable Change document is signed by each party.

If the parties are unable to agree the terms of a Change and the dispute resolution process set out in clause 16 has been unsuccessfully exhausted Fujifilm may terminate the relevant SoW(s) and any cancellation or termination fees [***].

DELAY, CANCELLATION, TERMINATION AND CONSEQUENCES

Delay:

If the Customer either causes or requests a delay to any Stage; Stages; or the Program as a whole and that delay prevents, or will prevent, Fujifilm from performing a Manufacturing Stage or the Program as a whole in accordance with the Program Plan (a “Delay”) and the parties cannot agree a Change to accommodate that Delay:

then either the Batch Cancellation Fee(s) or the Program Cancellation Fee (as applicable) shall be payable; and

the Batch Cancellation Fee or Program Cancellation Fee (as applicable) shall be calculated by reference to the date on which such written request was given by the Customer in relation to the Delay if such written request is given, or the date on which the Delay is caused, as determined by Fujifilm acting reasonably.

If the parties agree a Change to accommodate the Delay and that results in the Delayed Stage(s) or Program (as applicable) being performed partially within the original period reserved for the Delayed Stage(s) or Program as a whole, then the Batch Cancellation Fee(s) or the Program Cancellation Fee (as applicable) shall be reduced proportionally to reflect the period of time that the Program was Delayed (as determined by Fujifilm acting reasonably).

Termination of this Agreement as a whole

Fujifilm collectively or the Customer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement (and all Scope of Works made under it) immediately upon giving notice to the other if:

the other party commits a material breach of this Agreement and such breach:

is not capable of remedy (a breach shall be considered capable of remedy if the party in breach can comply with the provision in question in all respects other than as to time of performance); or

is capable of remedy, [***] period after receipt of notice giving full particulars of the breach and requiring it to be remedied, provided, however, that (a) material breaches of clause 8.4 must be cured within [***] and (b) such cure period shall be suspended during any time that a party seeks resolution of a dispute as to whether an alleged material breach occurred pursuant to clause 16;

the other party takes any step or action in connection with its entering administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with its creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of its assets or ceasing to carry on business or, if the step or action is taken in another jurisdiction, in connection with any analogous procedure in the relevant jurisdiction;

the other party or the person controlling the other party has a change in control and the new controlling entity is reasonably considered by the party giving notice either to be its direct competitor or not to have reasonable financial creditworthiness.

Termination of a Stage/Program by the Customer for Convenience

The Customer may cancel a Non-Manufacturing Stage or Non-Manufacturing Program for convenience by giving written notice to Fujifilm in which case:

the SoW shall terminate in respect of that Stage if a Stage is being terminated but in all other respects the SoW shall continue in full force;

the SoW(s) in respect of that Program shall terminate if a Program as a whole is being terminated; and

the Customer shall pay Fujifilm the Charges that are due for the Fujifilm Services that have been performed and [***] of the Charges for the Fujifilm Services that have not yet been performed in that Non-Manufacturing Stage or Program (as applicable) [***] plus any Charges owed in respect of Ancillary Services.

The Customer may cancel any Manufacturing Stage for convenience by giving written notice to Fujifilm in which case:

the SoW shall terminate in respect of that Stage;

in all other respects the SoW shall continue in full force;

the Customer shall pay the Charges that are due for the Fujifilm Services that have been performed, the relevant Batch Cancellation Fee plus any Charges owed in respect of Ancillary Services.

The Customer may cancel a Program which includes Manufacturing for convenience by giving written notice to Fujifilm in which case:

the SoW(s) in respect of that Program shall terminate;

the Customer shall pay the Charges that are due for the Fujifilm Services that have been performed, the Program Cancellation Fee plus any Charges owed in respect of Ancillary Services.

If a critical Stage, or more than one Stage, under a Program which includes Manufacturing is cancelled and that has the effect of cancelling that Program as a whole (as determined by Fujifilm acting reasonably) then clause 14.3.3 shall apply instead of clauses 14.3.1 and/or 14.3.2.

Termination of a Program Due to Technical Issues.

Fujifilm may terminate a Program at any time up to completion of the Non-Manufacturing Stages by giving written notice to the Customer if Fujifilm reasonably believes that it will be unable to carry out and complete such Program in accordance with the Scope of Work(s) due to discovery of a factor (other than an breach by Fujifilm of clause 4.1) which:

adversely affects the development of the Process; or

adversely affects, or is likely to adversely affect, production of Product in the Facility when conducted in accordance with Fujifilm’s standard operating procedures or methods

is likely to have an adverse effect on a customer’s Product licence (being the licence authorising marketing of a medicinal product granted by a Regulatory Authority (also known as a “Marketing Authorisation” in Europe)) or Manufacturing Licence (being the licence to manufacture biotechnology-derived Drug Substances issued to Fujifilm by the applicable Regulatory Authority) as a result of the Product being introduced into the Facility and that customer was a customer of Fujifilm prior to the Program commencement,,

If Fujifilm terminates a Program under clause 14.4.1 then the Customer shall pay the Charges that are due for the Fujifilm Services that have been performed and [***] of the Program Cancellation Fee plus any Charges owed in respect of Ancillary Services.

Termination of a Scope of Work for Breach

If any party commits a material breach of a Scope of Work, the non-breaching party may give written notice to the other party, specifying the nature of the material breach and, [***] after receipt of such notice (provided, however, that (a) payment obligations must be cured within [***] and (b) the cure period shall be suspended during any time that a party seeks resolution of a dispute as to whether an alleged material breach occurred pursuant to clause 16), then the non-breaching party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately terminate that Scope of Work.

If Fujifilm terminates a Scope of Work under this clause 14.5 or all Scopes of Work under clause 14.2 then, without prejudice to Fujifilm’s other rights and remedies, the Program Cancellation Fee shall be payable by the Customer to Fujifilm plus any Charges owed in respect of Ancillary Services.

If a party exercises any of its rights of termination in respect of only one or more SoWs then:

this Agreement shall terminate in respect of those SoWs and the provisions of this Agreement relating to termination of this Agreement shall apply in relation to those SoWs; and

in all other respects this Agreement shall continue in full force and those SoWs in respect of which the party has terminated this Agreement will be deemed to be removed from the definition of the SoWs.

Additional Consequences of Termination

The termination of this Agreement or any Scope of Work shall be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of any party which may have accrued up to the date of termination.

On termination of this Agreement or any SoW (as applicable) for any reason whatsoever:

save as set out in clause 10 the relationship of the parties shall cease and any rights or licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement shall cease to have effect save as (and to the extent) expressly provided for in this clause 14;

the provisions of the following clauses together with any provision which expressly or by implication is intended to come into or remain in force on or after termination shall continue in full force and effect clauses 1, 6 [***] 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 23; and

the Customer shall immediately pay to Fujifilm all of Fujifilm’s outstanding unpaid invoices and interest and, in respect of Fujifilm Services and Ancillary Services supplied but for which no invoice has been submitted, Fujifilm may submit an invoice, which shall be payable immediately on receipt.

FORCE MAJEURE

Based on conditions as of the Effective Date, Fujifilm has the capacity to undertake the anticipated Fujifilm Services under this Agreement. However, Fujifilm is unable to predict how the global COVID-19 pandemic (the “Pandemic”) may affect Fujifilm’s ability to perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement or a Scope of Work. Effects of the Pandemic, including staff shortages (either as a result of government recommended/mandated physical isolation or distancing or illness of our workers) and the inability to obtain required supplies or services, may require Fujifilm to alter the way its facilities operate after the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, Fujifilm has a process to fairly address the needs of its various customers. However, Customer acknowledges and accepts that factors arising from the Pandemic may impact Fujifilm’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or a Scope of Work for an indeterminate period of time, and as a result, the expected timing of performance of Fujifilm Services (or Ancillary Services) on behalf of Customer under a Scope of Work may need to be deferred upon notice to Customer by Fujifilm.

Subject to clause 15.33, no party shall be liable to the other(s) for any delay or non-performance of its obligations under any Scope of Work (except for the payment of money) arising from a Force Majeure Event.

If a party is delayed or prevented from performing its obligations due to a Force Majeure Event such party shall:

give notice of such delay or prevention due to the Force Majeure Event to the non-affected parties as soon as reasonably practical stating the commencement date and extent of such delay or prevention, the cause thereof and its estimated duration;

use reasonable endeavors to mitigate the effects of such Force Majeure Event, provided that such party shall not be required to procure materials or services at unreasonable prices or under unreasonable terms; and

resume performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable.

If a party’s delay or prevention due to the Force Majeure Event in question continues for more than [***] any party to the affected Scope of Work may give notice in writing to the other(s) to terminate that Scope of Work. The notice to terminate must specify the termination date, which must not be less than [***] after the date on which the notice is given, and once such notice has been validly given, that Scope of Work will terminate on that termination date.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Quality Disputes: If there is a dispute in relation to or in connection with the QA Documents, such dispute shall be dealt with in accordance with the procedures set out in the Quality Agreement.

Business Escalation:

In respect of any dispute concerning this Agreement (other than a dispute in connection with the QA Documents) the parties shall seek to resolve the matter as follows:

by referral in writing summarizing the nature of the dispute by a party in the first instance to the decision of each party’s Program Manager;

if the dispute is not resolved within [***] of its referral to the Program Managers it shall be referred to the decision of Fujifilm’s Chief Business Officer and the Customer’s Chief Executive Officer; and

if the dispute is not resolved within [***] of its referral to Fujifilm’s Chief Business Officer and the Customer’s Chief Executive Officer it shall be referred to the decision of each party’s President or Chief Executive Officer (as applicable/appropriate).

The Customer may carry out quality audits at the times, and in accordance with the terms, set out in the Quality Agreement provided that access by the Customer and/or its representatives to records, information and systems shall be on a supervised basis, subject to the Customer complying with security and confidentiality requirements of Fujifilm to protect information which relates to anything other than the Programs and shall be limited to a maximum of [***] people for [***].

Audit access shall not be extended to confidential records which [***].

If Fujifilm is in material breach of clause 4.1.3 of this Agreement or if the Customer reasonably believes that Fujifilm is in material breach of clause 4.1.3 of this Agreement, the Customer may upon giving reasonable written notice to Fujifilm carry out an audit on the same basis as in clauses 17.1.1 and 17.1.2.

Additional audits (other than those carried out pursuant to clause 17.1.3) may be carried out on the same basis as in clauses 17.1.1 and 17.1.2 subject to (i) payment of Fujifilm’s costs and expenses and the agreement of a commercial rate; and (ii) the Customer ensuring such audit will not delay or disrupt Fujifilm’s operations at the Facility.

The Customer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement comply with applicable Sanctions or Export/Import Laws and ensure that it has in place appropriate controls and safeguards to prevent any action being taken by it that would amount to or result in a violation of or non-compliance with any Sanctions or Export/Import Laws.

The Customer shall provide all information that Fujifilm may reasonably require from time to time in order for Fujifilm to assess and/or manage its compliance with Sanctions and Export/Import Laws (including provision of end-user statements or applicable Authorizations and notifying Fujifilm of any restrictions or export compliance obligations prior to providing Fujifilm access to controlled information/technology).

If any Authorization is required so that the performance of a Program does not contravene any Sanctions or Export/Import Laws, the Customer will at its own cost and expense obtain that Authorization and Fujifilm shall provide any commercially reasonable assistance (including reasonable information) that the Customer may require for the purposes of obtaining that Authorization. The Customer’s rights and Fujifilm’s obligations under this Agreement or any SoW in relation to that Program shall immediately be suspended if any required Authorization is not obtained. In the event that the Customer’s rights and Fujifilm’s obligations are suspended for more than [***] calendar days, a Program may be terminated immediately by Fujifilm giving written notice to the Customer.

The Customer shall Indemnify Fujifilm against any and all Liabilities which Fujifilm incurs as a result of the Customer’s non-compliance with the terms of this clause 19.

In this clause 19 the following terms have the following meanings:

Each party shall endeavour to hold itself and its suppliers to the highest performance, ethical and compliance standards, including basic human rights, not engaging in any activity, practice or conduct which would constitute an offence under anti-slavery legislation in the United Kingdom, the U.S.A or Denmark, encouraging fair and equal treatment for all persons, the provision of safe and healthy working conditions, respect for the environment, the adoption of appropriate management systems and the conduct of business in an ethical manner. In performing its duties under this Agreement, each party acknowledges the value and importance of performance and ethical behaviour in its performance under this Agreement.

Each party warrants that on the Effective Date and each SoW Effective Date, it, its directors, officers or employees have not offered, promised, given, authorized, solicited or accepted any undue pecuniary or other advantage of any kind (or implied that they will or might do any such thing at any time in the future) in any way connected with this Agreement or a SoW and that it has taken reasonable measures to prevent subcontractors, agents or other third parties, subject to its control or determining influence, from doing so.

Charges for Consumables in Non-Manufacturing Stage and Manufacturing Stage

At the time set out in the Scope of Work, or in the course of the Program as mutually agreed in writing by the parties, the Customer shall pay to Fujifilm an amount in advance in consideration of the Ancillary Services relating to the purchase of Consumables intended to be used during the applicable Non-Manufacturing Stages and Manufacturing Stages. This will be an amount based upon an estimation of the sums required to purchase Consumables based upon Fujifilm’s historical data from previous manufactures at the applicable scale of production plus [***] of such sums (the “Consumables Advance Payment”).

On completion of each applicable Non-Manufacturing Stage or Manufacturing Stage, Fujifilm shall calculate the expenditure incurred in respect of Consumables procured for use during such Non-Manufacturing Stage or Manufacturing Stage and shall add a sum equivalent to [***] of all such expenditure on to such sum, the aggregate amount being referred to as “Actual Production Expenditure”.

If the Actual Production Expenditure is greater than the Consumables Advance Payment plus any other amounts paid under paragraph 1.4, Fujifilm shall issue a further invoice for the Ancillary Services in relation to the Consumables for a sum equivalent to the difference on a monthly basis with a [***] markup. If the Actual Production Expenditure is less than the Consumables Advance Payment, Fujifilm shall issue a credit note against the earlier invoice for a sum equivalent to the difference to be applied to the Charges for the following Stage upon Completion of reconciliation (if there is one), and if there is not a following Stage, Fujifilm shall promptly refund such amount.

Each month, Fujifilm may issue an invoice to the Customer in relation to the Ancillary Services regarding any Consumables used during or procured for use in any Stage during the previous month (or if longer, since the last invoice under this paragraph 1.4 was issued) in amounts which are not covered by the Consumables Advance Payment equivalent to the expenditure on such additional Consumables during the previous month plus an amount equal to [***] of such expenditure.
