8.1                                        A risk and capital contribution will
be charged throughout the Term calculated at the rate of 10% of each
Contribution, except for the Facility Contribution and Business Rates.  The risk
and capital contribution will remain fixed at the rate of 10% throughout the
Term.

 

8.2                                        VAT, if applicable, will be added to
all Contributions.

 

8.3                                        Any changes to the Contributions
(other than the Facility Contributions which are fixed for the Term) will be
made once per year based on the new annual budget which will be discussed at the
Operational Forum.

 

8.4                                        ADAPTIMMUNE will make the following
Contributions to the costs of the Collaboration:

 

8.4.1                    subject to Clauses 8.2 and 8.3, from the Actual
Occupation Date, for each Module occupied by ADAPTIMMUNE, the Facility
Contribution, payable quarterly in advance;

 

8.4.2                    subject to Clauses 8.1 to 8.3, from the Actual
Occupation Date, for each Module occupied by ADAPTIMMUNE, one-fifth of the total
costs chargeable against Centre in the form of Business Rates, payable quarterly
in advance;

 

8.4.3                    the Activity Related Input Contributions as they are
incurred, due individually from ADAPTIMMUNE and within 30 days of receipt of
invoice;

 

8.4.4                    subject to Clauses 8.1 to 8.3, from the Actual
Occupation Date, the Integral Input Contributions payable quarterly in advance
and calculated in accordance with the following provisions of Clauses 8.4.4
(a) and (b):

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(a)                       Catapult will estimate the aggregate Integral Input
Contributions incurred for 5 Modules in concurrent occupation for any 1 year
(the “Estimated Aggregate Integral Input Contributions”).  ADAPTIMMUNE will be
responsible for a fixed amount, as set out at Schedule 3, such amount to be
based on a 20% share of this Estimated Aggregate Integral Input Contributions.
When 5 Modules are in concurrent occupation (“Full Occupation”), the
contributions model in 8.4.4(b) will apply.

 

(b)                       From the date Full Occupation is achieved, ADAPTIMMUNE
will continue to pay a 20% share of the Estimated Aggregate Integral Input
Contributions incurred. However, from and including the first anniversary date
(the “First Anniversary Date”) that Full Occupation is achieved, a
reconciliation will take place at the end of each Year and a refund to, or
further contribution byADAPTIMMUNE will be due with respect to its share of the
Integral Input Contributions based on the difference between the Estimated
Aggregate Integral Input Contributions, and the pro rata actual aggregate
Integral Input Contributions incurred for that Year. Reconciliation will be
based on audited accounts]

 

8.4.5                    the Establishment Input Contributions will be payable
directly to Catapult as they are incurred on ADAPTIMMUNE’S behalf and following
receipt of invoice by ADAPTIMMUNE.

 

8.4.6                    Save as otherwise provided all contributions payable by
ADAPTIMMUNE to Catapult pursuant to this Agreement will be payable within 30
days of receipt of an accurate, complete and valid VAT invoice by ADAPTIMMUNE
for such contributions.

 

8.5                                        Catapult will use reasonable
endeavours to ensure the Actual Occupation Date is not later than the Expected
Occupation Date. In the event the Actual Occupation Date is not achieved by the
Expected Occupation Date, Facility Contributions, Business Rates and Integral
Input Contributions will only accrue on a pro rata basis from the Actual
Occupation Date.

 

8.6                                        By being part of the Centre,
ADAPTIMMUNE has access to the wider Catapult supporting infrastructure which
includes, but is not limited to, reimbursement support, clinical trial support,
process development capability, and regulatory and market access consultancy
expertise. The contributions due for such Additional Inputs is to be agreed
through separate negotiation and contractual agreement.

 

8.7                                        Catapult undertakes to keep full and
proper books of account and records relating to the Integral Input Contributions
and the Establishment Input Contributions. In addition ADAPTIMMUNE will be
provided with the opportunity to comment on such planned expenditure and
consensus  sought through participation in the Collaborator Forums (although for
clarity, Catapult reserves its discretion in exercising its professional
judgment in relation to making any final decisions with respect to the Integral
Input Contributions, Activity Related Input Contributions and Establishment
Input Contributions incurred, while being consistent with the objectives set out
in the terms of reference for the Collaborator Forums, particularly with respect
to maintaining a suitable level of services required for robust operation of a
licensed facility suitable for late stage clinical and commercial manufacture of
ATMPs in the most economical way).

 

8.8                                        At the beginning of each Year during
the Term Catapult will provide to all Collaborators a budget setting out all
anticipated contributions for the Year with respect to Integral and Activity
Related Inputs to be provided in that Year. In addition to this, from the date
Full Occupation is achieved, a quarterly statement will be provided to all
Collaborators in the Centre comparing actuals to the budgeted amounts.

 

8.9                                        Catapult will procure an audit for
each Year during the Term to be carried out by an independent auditor acceptable
to all Collaborators. The Audit report will be made available to all
Collaborators in the Centre.

 

8.10                                 A.  If the annual aggregate estimate of the
Facility Contributions, the Integral Input Contributions and Business Rates at
the start of any Year represents an increase of 30% or more in comparison to the
aggregate of such Contributions for the previous Year (with such rise not caused
by the increased cost of such Inputs requested by ADAPTIMMUNE or explicitly
agreed to by ADAPTIMMUNE (including as part of any Collaborator Forum, where
impact on aggregate cost was clearly indicated) or solely as a result of
increases imposed by any third party supplier to Catapult) , ADAPTIMMUNE may
elect to terminate this Agreement at any time from the date it is notified of
such estimated aggregate (the “Notification Date”) for a period of 6 calendar
months without consequence, by providing not less than 1 year’s written notice
to Catapult, in which case the provisions of Clause 18.1 shall not apply. The

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

right will not exist 6 calendar months after the Notification Date if the right
to terminate has not been exercised by the end of the 6th calendar month from
the Notification Date.

 

B.  During the 1 year notice period ADAPTIMMUNE will pay the same amount it paid
for the previous Year with respect to the aggregate of all Integral Input
Contributions, Facility  Contributions and Business Rates (adjusted by a maximum
of 15% for the notice period only with respect to any increases that may be
imposed by third party suppliers of such Inputs).

 

C.  In the first two Years after Effective Date, Catapult will not increase the
aggregate Contributions payable by ADAPTIMMUNE by more than a maximum of 15% per
Year (as compared to previous Year) unless such increase directly results from
requests made by ADAPTIMMUNE or such increase is explicitly agreed to by
ADAPTIMMUNE, or is solely as a result of any increases imposed by third party
supplier to Catapult. An increase of more than 15% per Year must be clearly
notified to ADAPTIMMUNE as soon as reasonably possible and on becoming aware
that such increase is likely.

 

8.11                                 For any days that ADAPTIMMUNE does not have
access to the Module for operation of the ADAPTIMMUNE Process under GMP
conditions operating at Grade C, other than days resulting from or comprising
of: i. a 14 day annual shutdown, ii  up to a 7 day shutdown for semi-annual
maintenance, iii  up 6 days in total for quarterly scheduled for maintenance,
such days having been communicated to ADAPTIMMUNE and discussed within the
Operational Forum, iv programmed upgrades, and v. unscheduled downtime up to a
maximum of 10 days annually until Aril 2019 (a maximum of 8 days annually
thereafter) to the extent such downtime cannot be avoided or carried out during
days scheduled for maintenance, the total of such downtime (i.e. any of (i-v)
above) not to exceed a maximum of 60 days in 2018 and 45 days in any Year after
2018, compensation will be paid with respect to such days in the form of reduced
Integral Contributions and Facility Contributions due from ADAPTIMMUNE.  To the
extent reasonably possible, Catapult will notify ADAPTIMMUNE of any scheduled
downtime which affects ADAPTIMMUNE’s use of the Module and provide ADAPTIMMUNE
an opportunity to agree such downtime or to suggest alternative downtime for
consideration by Catapult.

 

The Contributions will be re-calculated using the following formula:
(365-Shortfall in available days)/365*(100% of the Contributions without
reduction).

 

9.                                               CATAPULT INPUTS, FACILITIES AND
SUPPORT

 

The operation of the Centre is dependent on a range of critical inputs split
between:

 

(i) Integral Inputs will include those inputs specified in Section 9.1 below or
other inputs the Catapult, using its reasonable judgment considers to be
required for operation of Centre (and which are not specific to any Collaborator
or ADAPTIMMUNE) and which may be varied from time to time to cater for the
common, but not necessarily universal requirements of the collaborators of the
Centre; Integral Inputs may be varied from time to time by Catapult, after prior
discussion and consideration of concerns raised by ADAPTIMMUNE and Collaborators
in the Operational Forum, in order to cater for the common, but not necessarily
universal requirements of ADAPTIMMUNE and Other Collaborators in the Centre. Any
changes made to the Integral Inputs made by Catapult will not impact the ability
of the Centre to operate in accordance with EU-GMP requirements without the
prior written consent of ADAPTIMMUNE, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld.

 

(ii) Activity Related Inputs which are Inputs specified in Section 9.3 below
that are dependent on ADAPTIMMUNE’s Processes and activity and are specific to
ADAPTIMMUNE’s use of the Module.

 

It is a condition of occupation that the Integral Inputs and Activity Related
Inputs will be procured through Catapult unless the parties agree otherwise. 
All such inputs shall be provided in accordance with the Quality Technical
Agreement.

 

(iii) Additional Inputs will be arranged through the completion of an Additional
Input Agreement in the form set out at Schedule 16 (“Additional Input
Agreement”). Once signed by both Parties, the Additional Input Agreement will
amend this agreement and an Additional Input will be deemed appended to Clause
9.6 and any associated contributions from ADAPTIMMUNE in consideration of the
Additional Inputs will be deemed as having been inserted at Schedule 3.

ADAPTIMMUNE to otherwise replicate the ADAPTIMMUNE Manufacturing Process, or to
produce the ADAPTIMMUNE Product.

 

12.3                                 Any costs associated with the licence of
any Intellectual Property to ADAPTIMMUNE under this Clause 12 will be borne by
ADAPTIMMUNE.

 

12.4                                 To the extent that any Catapult Foreground
Intellectual Property is capable of prospective assignment, ADAPTIMMUNE now
assigns the Catapult Foreground Intellectual Property to Catapult; and to the
extent any Catapult Foreground Intellectual Property cannot prospectively be
assigned, ADAPTIMMUNE shall assign such Catapult Foreground IP to Catapult as
and when they are created, at the request of Catapult.

 

13.                                        CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

13.1                                 The Receiving Party undertakes:

 

13.1.1                                to maintain as secret and confidential all
Confidential Information of the other Party;

 

13.1.2                                to use such Confidential Information only
for the purposes of this Agreement or in the case of ADAPTIMMUNE for use of the
Module or other licensed purpose in each case in accordance with this Agreement
and/or the QTA; and

 

13.1.3                                to disclose such Confidential Information
only to those of its employees, contractors, and sub-licensees pursuant to this
Agreement (if any) to whom and to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably
necessary for the purposes of this Agreement.

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

13.2                                 The provisions of Clause 13.1 shall not
apply to Confidential Information which the Receiving Party can demonstrate by
reasonable, written evidence:

 

13.2.1                                was, prior to its receipt by the Receiving
Party from the Disclosing Party, in the possession of the Receiving Party and at
its free disposal;

 

13.2.2                                is subsequently disclosed to the Receiving
Party without any obligations of confidence by a third party who has not derived
it directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party;

 

13.2.3                                is or becomes generally available to the
public through no act or default of the Receiving Party or its agents,
employees, Affiliates, or sub-licensees;

 

13.2.4                                is independently developed by the
Receiving Party by individuals who have not had any direct or indirect access to
the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or

 

13.2.5                                the Receiving Party is required to
disclose to the courts of any competent jurisdiction, or to any government
regulatory agency or financial authority, provided that the Receiving Party
shall (i) inform the Disclosing Party as soon as is reasonably practicable, and
(ii) at the Disclosing Party’s request seek to persuade the court, agency or
authority to have the information treated in a confidential manner, where this
is possible under the court, agency, or authority’s procedures. To the extent
ADAPTIMMUNE takes a decision that this Agreement is required to be filed with
the Securities Exchange Commission in the United States, the Parties will work
together to agree a confidentiality treatment request in relation to the
Agreement, however ADAPTIMMUNE will have the final determination in relation to
what needs to be filed with the SEC and what will become publicly available as a
result of such filing.

 

13.3                                 The Receiving Party shall procure that all
of its employees, contractors and sub-licensees pursuant to this Agreement (if
any) who have access to any of the Disclosing Party’s information to which
Clause 13.1 applies, shall be made aware of and subject to these obligations and
shall be subject to undertakings of confidentiality at least as restrictive as
Clauses 13.1 and 13.2 and which apply to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information before being given access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information.

 

13.4                                 Upon any termination of this Agreement, the
Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party any documents or other
materials that contain the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information,
including all copies made, and make no further use or disclosure thereof save
that the Receiving Party shall not be obliged to purge or delete Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party from its IT systems and shall be permitted
to retain one (1) copy of all such Confidential information in its legal files
for purposes of ensuring compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Party
shall be entitled to continue to use the other’s Confidential Information to the
extent required to provide responses to any Regulatory Authority or to otherwise
satisfy any obligations under Applicable Laws or to any Regulatory Authority.
Such ongoing use shall remain subject to the provisions of confidentiality set
out in this Clause 13.

 

13.5                                 For the avoidance of doubt, and in light of
Catapult’s objective to disseminate best practices and foster the development of
the regenerative medicine sector in the UK, Catapult shall be entitled to
publish or otherwise disclose any of its Confidential Information, including the
Catapult Intellectual Property.

 

13.6                                 Catapult will agree written obligations of
confidence equivalent to those set out in this Agreement with any third party
Collaborator that has access to the Shared Restricted Access Area in relation to
ADAPTIMMUNE’s Confidential Information. Where possible ADAPTIMMUNE will be given
a third party right to enforce such confidentiality provisions. Catapult will
provide evidence of such confidentiality obligations on request from
ADAPTIMMUNE.

such measures as are reasonable in the relevant circumstances to mitigate the
loss or damage which has occurred or may occur.

 

15.3                                 Indemnification of Catapult under this
Clause 15 is conditional upon: (a) the indemnified claim not being caused by or
resulting from the negligence, omission, breach or wilful misconduct of
Catapult, its employees, agents or subcontractors; and (b) Catapult promptly, on

16.                                        LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

16.1                                 Collaborators occupying the Centre
generally, and ADAPTIMMUNE and Catapult in particular with respect to this
Agreement, in choosing to employ the Centre as a base for GMP manufacturing
activities accept and acknowledge a degree of risk inherent in any multi-mode,
shared occupancy manufacturing facility and the nature of the biological
processes undertaken within. Occasional unforeseen situations may arise
associated with, for example utilities, equipment and associated processes that
have the potential to disrupt or have a detrimental impact on processing,
including on the products manufactured and developed at the Centre, and/or the
manufacturing process(es) utilised at the Centre, by Collaborators.

 

16.1.1                                In light of this, Catapult will procure
from each Collaborator, prior to their occupation of the Centre, contractual
agreement not to commence or sustain legal proceedings against ADAPTIMMUNE (or
any other Collaborators or Catapult)  for damages, or any other financial
reimbursement (“Agreement Not to Sue”), as a consequence of any unexpected and
unintended consequences as a result of such a situation at the Centre as
described in this Clause 16.1 (“Unforeseen Risks”) unless it is a result of
attributable gross negligence or wilful misconduct of ADAPTIMMUNE (or any other
Collaborator or Catapult, as applicable), breach of confidence, material breach
of any obligation under the relevant collaborator’s (or Catapult’s)
collaboration agreement or quality agreement for the Centre , or material breach
of Catapult SOPs or breach of Applicable Laws, by ADAPTIMMUNE (or any other
Collaborators or Catapult, as applicable) and shall procure a direct right of
enforcement of such Agreement Not to Sue by ADAPTIMMUNE against each such
Collaborator or Catapult pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act
1999.

 

16.1.2                                With respect to each Collaborator that
Catapult has obtained an enforceable Agreement Not to Sue in accordance with
Clause 16.1.1, which ADAPTIMMUNE has a direct right to enforce against such
collaborator pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999,
ADAPTIMMUNE agrees that it shall not commence or sustain legal proceedings
against such a collaborator for damages, or any other financial reimbursement,
as a consequence of any Unforeseen Risks unless it is a result of attributable
gross negligence or wilful misconduct of, or a breach of confidence, material
breach of any obligation under the relevant collaborator’s collaboration
agreement or quality agreement for the Centre, or material breach of Catapult
SOPs or breach of Applicable Laws by, such a collaborator.

 

16.1.3                                Catapult and ADAPTIMMUNE, each agree not
to commence or sustain legal proceedings against the other Party for damages, or
any other financial reimbursement, as a

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

consequence of any Unforeseen Risks unless it is a result of attributable gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of the other Party, or is a breach of
confidence, material breach of any obligation under this Agreement or the QTA,
or a material breach of Catapult SOPs or breach of Applicable Laws, by the other
Party.

 

This Clause 16.1 is not intended to qualify, and is subject to and without
prejudice to, each Party’s rights and obligations under Clause 15 (Indemnity).

 

16.2                                 Without prejudice to Clauses 16.1, 16.4,
16.5 and 16.6, the maximum aggregate Liability of ADAPTIMMUNE which arises from
events which occur in any Year will be limited to five million pounds sterling
(£5,000,000) for any 1 event, or any number of separate events  (each with a
limit of £5m).

 

16.3                                 Without prejudice to Clauses 16.1, 16.4 and
16.5, the maximum aggregate Liability of Catapult which arises from any single
event  will be limited to (£5,000,000) for any 1 event, or any number of
separate events (each with a limit of £5m).

 

16.4                                 In no circumstances shall any Party have
any Liability for:

 

16.4.1                                any indirect, special or consequential
loss; including

 

16.4.2                                any loss of profits, revenue, business
opportunity, data, or goodwill.

 

16.5                                 Nothing in this Agreement limits or
excludes any person’s liability to the extent that it may not be so limited or
excluded by law, including any such liability for death or personal injury
caused by that person’s negligence, or liability for fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation.

 

16.6                                 Without prejudice to Clause 16.5, nothing
in this Agreement will operate to exclude or restrict either Party’s Liability:

 

16.6.1                                under the indemnity contained in Clause
15; or ( in each of 16.6.2 and 16.6.3 below, other than when the specific
conditions stipulated in the Agreement are met so as to justify otherwise);

 

16.6.2                                to pay the Compensations; or

 

16.6.3                                for any breach of confidentiality under
this Agreement.

 

16.7                                 The Parties agree that they have negotiated
this Clause 16 and the allocation of risk in this Clause is a fair and equitable
position.

 

17.                                        DURATION AND TERMINATION

 

17.1                                 This Agreement, and the licences granted
hereunder, shall come into effect on the Effective Date and, unless terminated
earlier in accordance with this Clause 17 or unless specified in the continuing
obligations provisions of this Agreement as having continued effect, shall
continue in force for 12 months from the Actual Occupation Date (“Initial
Period”) and will automatically renew for further 12 month periods for a maximum
period of 5 calendar years from the Actual Occupation Date, and on such date
this Agreement shall terminate automatically by expiry.

 

17.2                                 Either party shall be able to terminate on
the provision of 12 months’ written notice to the other party.

 

17.3                                 The Parties may terminate this Agreement at
any time by mutual agreement to do so in writing signed by the authorised
signatories of the Parties and the provisions of Clauses 18.1 shall not apply.

 

17.4                                 Either Party may elect to terminate this
Agreement at any time by notice in writing to the other Party, such notice to
take effect as specified in the notice:

 

17.4.1                                if the other Party is in material breach
of this Agreement (including any breach of Clause 20) and, in the case of a
breach capable of remedy within 90 days, the breach is not remedied within
90 days of the party receiving notice specifying the breach and requiring its
remedy; or

 

17.4.2                                if (A) the other Party becomes insolvent
or unable to pay its debts as and when they become due; or (B) an order is made
or a resolution is passed for the winding up of the

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

other Party (other than voluntarily for the purpose of solvent amalgamation or
reconstruction); or (C) a liquidator, administrator, administrative receiver,
receiver, or trustee is appointed in respect of the whole or any part of the
other party’s assets or business; or (D) the other Party makes any composition
with its creditors; or (E) the other Party ceases to continue its business; or
(F) as a result of debt and/or maladministration the other party takes or
suffers any similar or analogous action in any jurisdiction.

 

17.5                                 In the event that an MHRA MIA (IMP) license
or any other consent required for operation of the Centre by Catapult in
accordance with GMP or Applicable Laws is not granted to Catapult on or before 1
September 2018, (the “Target Licence Date”), ADAPTIMMUNE will be able to
terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Catapult from such
date.  In such circumstances, ADAPTIMMUNE will have no liability for any
Compensations under Clause 18.1 (other than for all Inputs directly associated
with ADAPTIMMUNE’s occupation of the Centre to the date it vacates the Centre
and which are due and payable under the terms of this Agreement).

 

17.6                                 In the event ADAPTIMMUNE chooses to delay
occupation of the Module beyond the date by which Catapult has satisfied the
criteria to enable the Actual Occupation Date to be declared (as set out in
paragraph b of the definition),  such a delay will cause the revised deadline
for an MHRA MIA (IMP) licence or Necessary Consent to be granted, and the date
by which termination may be tendered, under Clause 17.8, to be delayed by a
period equal to the period of ADAPTIMMUNE chooses to delay occupation beyond the
date Catapult has discharged its obligations to enable declaration of the Actual
Occupation Date under paragraph b of the definition.

 

17.7                                 A Party’s right of termination under this
Agreement, and the exercise of any such right, shall be without prejudice to any
other right or remedy (including any right to claim damages) that such Party may
have in the event of a breach of contract or other default by the other Party.

 

17.8                                 If there is destruction or damage to the
Centre that leaves the whole or substantially the whole of the Centre and / or
the Module unfit for occupation and use or inaccessible so that ADAPTIMMUNE is
unable to continue practising or developing the ADAPTIMMUNE Process so as to
produce the ADAPTIMMUNE Product,  and the Module has not been made fit for
occupation and such use by ADAPTIMMUNE within 6 months the date of such
destruction or damage (or planned date for correction exceeds 6 months) then
either Party may serve notice on the other to terminate this Agreement with
immediate effect, such notice to expire after 6 months of the date of such
destruction or damage.

 

17.9                                 If there is destruction or damage to the
Centre by any of the Insured Risks that leaves the whole or substantially the
whole of the Centre and / or the Module unfit for occupation and use or
inaccessible, then, save to the extent that the Catapult’s insurance has not
been vitiated or policy moneys refused because of any act or default of
ADAPTIMMUNE then the Facility Contribution, the Activity Related Inputs
Contributions, the Integral Contributions, and the Business Rates or a fair
proportion of them shall not be payable from and including the date of such
damage or destruction until the earlier of the date that the Module is once
again fit for occupation and use and accessible.

 

18.                                        CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION

 

18.1                                 ADAPTIMMUNE recognises that considerable
planning and advanced preparation is required to ensure timely ADAPTIMMUNE
occupation of the Module.  In recognition of the opportunity cost of reserving a
Module for ADAPTIMMUNE, if ADAPTIMMUNE serves notice to terminate this Agreement
in any circumstances other than as set out in Clauses 17.3 or 17.4 (but only
where a breach is committed by Catapult), ADAPTIMMUNE will compensate Catapult
as follows:

 

Following notice to terminate, during the notice period ADAPTIMMUNE will
continue to pay to Catapult the Contributions ADAPTIMMUNE would have paid had
this Agreement not been terminated; no other sums are required. Such sum shall
be due whether ADAPTIMMUNE occupies the Module¸ or elects to vacate the Module
in advance of the end of this 1 year notice period) which shall include: the
Facility Contribution; the Business Rates Contribution; the Integral Input
Contributions, any Services Costs, any Establishment Input Contributions, any
Additional Input Contributions and any other unavoidable costs resulting from
the Module remaining unoccupied for up to a period of 1 year (the
“Compensations”). Catapult will, to the extent that it is reasonably able to do
so in the circumstances, release ADAPTIMMUNE from its obligations where a
suitable alternative collaborator is secured by Catapult. In addition, under
these circumstances ADAPTIMMUNE will not be liable to pay the Compensations for
any period from the Expected Occupation Date that the Module and the Centre is
not ready for occupation during the 1 year period that such Compensations would
have been due.

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In recognition of the inherent difficulties of moving from a collaborative
manufacturing centre to alternative manufacturing facilities, it is understood
that COLLABORATOR may wish to extend the Term for between six to twelve months
beyond the end of the notice period.  Not less than six months prior to the end
of the notice period, COLLABORATOR may make a request to Catapult, and Catapult
may agree to negotiate with ADAPTIMMUNE to extend the Term for an additional
period of between 6 and 12 months.  If Catapult agrees, any extension of the
Term will only be effective when confirmed in writing by both Parties.

 

Where ADAPTIMMUNE has notified Catapult under its notice in clause 17.2 above
that it wishes to cease paying the Compensations and to vacate the Module as
quickly as possible then Catapult will use all reasonable efforts to procure
another Collaborator to occupy the Module as quickly as possible. To the extent
such third party Collaborator is able to occupy the Module within the 12 month
notice period, the Parties will work to agree a shortening of such notice period
and reduction in payment of Compensations due to reflect earlier occupation by
third party Collaborator. For clarity, the obligation on Catapult to procure
another Collaborator to occupy the Module will not mean Catapult is under any
obligation to forsake potential income from any other module in the Centre that
it would have received had ADAPTIMMUNE not tendered its notice to terminate.

 

18.2                                 The provisions of Clause 18.1 shall not
apply where this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Clause 20.

 

18.3                                 Upon termination of this Agreement for any
reason (and unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in a subsequent, written
agreement, including any agreement entered into in accordance with the
provisions of 9iii):

 

18.3.1                                the provisions of 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
18 19, and 24 shall remain in force;

 

18.3.2                                the Collaboration will terminate, subject
to any subsisting and continuing obligations; and

 

18.3.3                                A. Each Party will cease using the other
Party’s Confidential Information (save where such ongoing use is in accordance
with any ongoing license);

 

B. For clarity, “cease using” in A. above will not prevent Catapult from
retaining such Confidential Information that has been backed up as part of the
Catapult’s normal business procedures and there will be no obligation on
Catapult to purge or delete such Confidential Information stored in this way.
This is subject to the obligations of confidentiality under this Agreement
continuing to apply to any and all Confidential Information so retained for so
long as they are in the possession or control of Catapult;

 

C. Catapult agrees that ADAPTIMMUNE will have continued access to any Catapult
provided IT systems during the notice period that is on a basis that is no
different from the pre-existing rights of access it enjoyed before the notice
period commenced. At the end of any notice period Catapult will supply
ADAPTIMMUNE with a paper copy of any Confidential Information that continues to
be stored on Catapult provided IT systems if it is requested by ADAPTIMMUNE; and

 

D. To the extent ADAPTIMMUNE requires access to any information or data held by
Catapult to address any request from any regulatory authority or in relation to
any product recall after termination of this Agreement, to the extent Catapult
has retained such information or data or has access to such information or data,
Catapult will provide reasonable assistance to ADAPTIMMUNE to enable ADAPTIMMUNE
to access such information or data.

 

19.                                        INSURANCE

 

19.1                                 Catapult shall take out with a reputable
insurance company and maintain at all times during the Term of this Agreement
professional indemnity, public and product liability insurance including against
all loss of and damage to the Module, the Centre, and injury to persons
including death arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.  Such
insurances may be limited in respect of one claim provided that such limit must
be at least £5 million (five million pounds).

 

19.2                                 ADAPTIMMUNE shall take out with a reputable
insurance company, and maintain at all times during the Term of this Agreement
public and product liability insurance including against all loss of and

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

damage to the Module and Centre arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement and caused by or to ADAPTIMMUNE, injury to persons including death
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and against all loss of and
damage to any ADAPTIMMUNE owned equipment, or ADAPTIMMUNE personnel personal
effects within the Module or in the Centre generally.  Such insurances may be
limited in respect of one claim provided that public and product liability will
have a limit of at least £3 million pounds prior to any commercial sale of
Product by Adaptimmune (excluding use of Product in association with any
clinical trials) and £5 million pounds from the date of first commercial sale of
Product by Adaptimmune. During the period in which any Product is used in
association with any clinical trials, ADAPTIMMUNE shall also hold clinical
trials insurance which may be limited in respect of one claim provided that the
aggregate limit is at least £5 million pounds. ADAPTIMMUNE acknowledges that
Catapult will have no responsibility for any ADAPTIMMUNE owned equipment or any
ADAPTIMMUNE personnel personal effects located in the Module or any other part
of the Centre save where any damage to such is caused directly by Catapult
negligence or intentional misconduct. With respect to public liability insurance
required to be taken out by ADAPTIMMUNE under this Agreement, ADAPTIMMUNE will
ensure Catapult is noted as a beneficiary on the policy so that it is an
interested party with respect to such policy or alternatively the policy
includes ‘additional insureds’ language requiring the insurance company to
indemnify against liability that ADAPTIMMUNE is obligated to provide.

 

20.                                        ANTI-BRIBERY AND ANTI-CORRUPTION

 

20.1                                 Each Party agrees that, in connection with
this Agreement and the Projects, they shall each, (and shall procure that their
respective officers, employees, agents and any other persons who perform
services for them or on their behalf in connection with this Agreement shall):

26.2.2                                If the proposed change has a material
impact on the ADAPTIMMUNE Product(s) or Process(es), or ADAPTIMMUNE’S compliance
with GMP guidelines, or would require ADAPTIMMUNE to amend or change any
regulatory filing or regulated procedure, such change will require the mutual

Collaborator Forums

 

The purposes of the collaborator forums (the “Forums”) are:

 

·                  to facilitate open and transparent exchange of information
between Catapult and collaborators, and between Collaborators in relation to the
operation of the Centre,

·                  to enable all parties to contribute to the safe, efficient,
and successful operation of the Centre, and of the collaborators’ manufacturing
activity,

·                  to enable the standards of the centre to be maintained at an
appropriate cost.

 

The Forums will be supplemented by regular informal ad-hoc meetings and
weekly/bi-weekly surgeries involving Catapult and any collaborator as is
necessary.

 

Key objectives of the Forums include:

 

1.              Updating any requirements needed to continue to maintain a
suitable level of services for robust operation of a licensed facility suitable
for late stage clinical and commercial manufacture of ATMPs in the most
economical way;

 

2.              Considering Collaborator input into the relevant aspects of the
management and operation of the Centre;

 

3.              Discussing Catapult and Collaborator compliance with all
relevant Quality, Health & Safety and Legal requirements;

 

4.              Discussing any modifications to any Module or the Centre with
the potential to impact any collaborator (Prior to being raised in the relevant
Forum, Catapult will consider all collaborator requests for facility
modifications that require any Other Collaborator’s cleanroom to be
non-operational for any period of time, or that affect the Centre license and
will discuss feasibility with the all Collaborators. For clarity, such
modifications should remain part of the notification to collaborators of the
agenda for any Collaborator Forum);

 

5.              Having formal two-way communications between Catapult and
collaborators to discuss common issues;

 

6.              Raising awareness of issues and incidents with potential for
impact on the Catapult and Other Collaborators;

 

7.              Encouraging and facilitating the sharing of best practice
between collaborators; and

 

8.              Examining appropriate ways of managing costs.

 

The Forums will be advisory in their nature and initially take place monthly,
with their frequency being reviewed/varied as required. However, the frequency
of Forums will be no less than quarterly.

 

The agenda, format, time and venue will be set and reasonable notice given in
advance by Catapult, with the agenda being subject to change based on
operational experience and input from collaborators.  Relevant issues will be
discussed and appropriate recommendations made during the Forums.  Outputs of
any key decisions that need to be made separately outside of the Forums will be
communicated prior to the following meeting.

 

Key issues and follow-up actions will be summarised and circulated to all
Collaborators by Catapult after each Forum.

 

Collaborators will be fully consulted prior to any key decisions being made. In
recognition of the fact that the Catapult has overall responsibility for the
operation of the centre Catapult reserves the right to make the final decision
in the best interests of all Collaborators and the Catapult.

 

There will be 3 Forums covering 3 key areas, with the relevant Catapult chairs,
Catapult leads, and Terms of Reference being summarised in the table below.

SCHEDULE 16

 

Input Commitments

 

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) and all other
equipment listed as critical within this Agreement Schedule or Quality Technical
Agreement will be serviced and qualified in line with the QTA (this means that
no planned preventative maintenance visit will be delayed by more than a
pre-agreed number of working days, nor will any necessitating interruption of
ADAPTIMMUNE’s Manufacturing Process be arranged with less than a minimum
pre-defined notice period).

 

Catapult staffing levels will be maintained at a level appropriate to maintain a
GMP facility and that is proportionate to the requirements of the number of
ADAPTIMMUNEs in simultaneous occupation of the Centre at any time.  Details of
current staffing levels and any planned changes will be shared at the regular
Quality Reviews (such reviews to take place quarterly or at any pre-agreed
frequency).

 

Minimum review times for quality documents will be defined in the QTA.
