Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, Synageva is solely
responsible for (a) provision of complete and accurate scientific data regarding
the Project; (b) provision of all information necessary to effect the reliable
transfer of methods to Cytovance; (c) provision of specific reagents, reference
standards or other product specific materials necessary for execution of the
Project; (d) if applicable, review and approval of in-process and finished
product test results to ensure conformity of such results with product
specifications, regardless of which Party is responsible for finished product
release; (e) preparation of all submissions to regulatory authorities; and
(f) performance of other obligations of Synageva set forth in the Proposal.

 

4. Hazardous Materials

Synageva warrants to Cytovance that no specific safe handling instructions are
applicable to any substance or material provided by Synageva to Cytovance,
except as disclosed to Cytovance in sufficient time for review and training by
Cytovance prior to delivery. Where appropriate or required by law, Synageva
shall provide a Material Safety Data Sheet and instructions for proper storage
for all Synageva-provided materials, finished product and reference standards.

 

5. Facility Visits and Audits

Synageva’s representatives may visit Cytovance’s facilities during normal
business hours and with prior written notice to ensure conformance with cGMPs
and to observe the progress of the Project, provided that such access does not
compromise cGMP compliance or safety. Cytovance will assist Synageva in
scheduling such visits, which will be in compliance with Cytovance’s requirement
to protect confidentiality of Cytovance’s other clients.

Synageva may conduct one (1) quality assurance audit per calendar year at no
cost in accordance with the provisions of the Quality Agreement unless an audit
results in adverse findings in which case Synageva shall be entitled to re-audit
Cytovance with respect to such adverse findings without reference to the once

related to adverse findings will be invoiced separately on a time and materials
basis at the then current rate for such services.

the event that any such audit involves an inspection of Cytovance’s facility,
then Cytovance shall provide Synageva the opportunity to be present at such
inspection. Cytovance shall also provide Synageva the opportunity to review,
prior to submission, any documentation prepared in response to such regulatory,
governmental or third party audit and shall immediately provide Synageva with
the results of such audit following its conclusion.

cGMPs when appropriate. So long as Cytovance conducts the Services in accordance
with relevant procedures and processes provided by Synageva, including but not
limited to approved batch records, Standard Operating Procedures and the Quality
Agreement, and in a professional manner using the appropriate industry standards
and in compliance with all applicable laws, including but not limited to cGMPs

of this Agreement without reduction or offset for results of Services.

 

8. Budget and Payment Terms

The budget and all payments for all Services, including any pass-through costs
for any materials supplied by Cytovance, shall be set forth in the Proposal (the
“Budget”) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Synageva and Cytovance. All
work performed under this Agreement requires prior written authorization from
Synageva in the form of a purchase order number, which shall be referenced on
all invoices in order for reimbursement to occur. In the event that the cost for
the Services exceeds the approved amount in the Budget, it is Cytovance’s
responsibility to get prior written authorization from Synageva for any
additional Services in the form of a Change Order. Cytovance shall invoice
Synageva for all Services under this Agreement as set forth in the Proposal.
Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Synageva shall pay such invoiced
amounts within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the invoice. All taxes and any
penalties thereon imposed on any payment made by Synageva to Cytovance shall be
the responsibility of Cytovance.

 

9. Change Orders

The Parties acknowledge that the nature of the development process is such that
modifications to the Project (including modifications relating to the
acquisition of additional equipment and materials) may be desirable or
reasonably necessary at certain times for regulatory, legal, commercial or other
reasons. In the event that either of the Parties believes that changes to the
Project are required, that Party shall promptly notify the other Party in
writing of the exact nature of such changes and the specific reasons therefor.
The Parties shall then promptly discuss the changes that may be needed. If the
Parties agree that changes in the Project are required, the Parties shall amend
the Project to reflect the necessary changes, and also to set out any
appropriate change in cost or time necessary to fulfill such changes. Any
mutually agreed increase in cost due to expansion of the Project shall be borne
wholly by Synageva who shall have the sole and final decision as to whether any
or all such changes shall be implemented.

 

10. Notice of Delay

If Cytovance determines that any order submitted by Synageva cannot be filled by
the date required under the Proposal or the applicable purchase order, Cytovance
shall notify Synageva in writing promptly upon making such determination and the
parties shall negotiate a resolution satisfactory to both such parties.

 

11. Samples

Cytovance shall undertake to test samples of each batch of product supplied
hereunder for compliance with the specifications and to record the results and

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

12. Records

Cytovance shall maintain records detailing the methods by which Cytovance
manufactures product on behalf of Synageva, including all standard operating
procedures and the details of all characterization and similar data Cytovance
generates relating to any and all compounds Cytovance synthesizes on behalf of
Synageva. All records of work performed by Cytovance under this Agreement and
all reports required to be delivered by Cytovance to Synageva as part of the
Project shall be “works made for hire” and the exclusive property of Synageva.
Cytovance undertakes to maintain sufficient records to permit (i) identification
of the batch’s origin, (ii) the cause of any defect, (iii) confirmation of
conformance with the specifications, and its manufacture in accordance with the
manufacturing standards and (iv) compliance with any other law, rule, or
regulatory requirement or guideline applicable to manufacture of product. Upon
written request from Synageva, Cytovance will promptly and in any event within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of such request, provide copies of any and all
records and testing methodologies, and/or return all retention samples, to
Synageva at Synageva’s costs. Cytovance shall provide Synageva with at least
sixty (60) days written notice prior to the destruction of any such reports,
records or samples and shall transfer such reports, records or samples to
Synageva if requested by Synageva at Synageva’s expense.

 

13. Assistance to Transfer Process.

 

a. The parties acknowledge that Synageva may, in its sole discretion, elect to
manufacture or have manufactured by one or more third parties product during the
term of this Agreement or thereafter, including in the event of the termination
or expiration of this Agreement, and that Synageva may require Cytovance’s
assistance in order to enable such manufacturing of no less quality-control
standards as conducted at Cytovance’s manufacturing site. Therefore upon written
request of Synageva, Cytovance shall, at the sole cost and expense of Synageva
(unless due to an inability to manufacture or failure to supply on the part of
Cytovance, or otherwise due to a material breach of this Agreement by Cytovance,
in which case at the sole cost and expense of Cytovance), reasonably cooperate
with Synageva or one or more third-party designees and provide such assistance,
provided that such assistance does not unreasonably interfere with Cytovance’s
business.

 

b. Such assistance may include, without limitation, allowing Synageva or one or
more third-party designees to (i) consult with employees or agents of Cytovance
with expertise in the manufacture of product, and (ii) observe manufacturing
runs of product during normal business hours. In addition, Synageva shall have
the right to require Cytovance to release, provide right of reference, access,
and/or license to Synageva and/or any third party designated by Synageva in
writing, all documentation, laboratory notebooks, regulatory filings,
manufacturing standards, manufacturing improvements and any and all other
information necessary or reasonably useful for the manufacture of product.
Cytovance shall provide such technical assistance and other cooperation as
Synageva may reasonably require in order to fully transfer the manufacture to
another location and enable Synageva to manufacture or have a third party
manufacture product in compliance with the manufacturing standards and
specifications. Such assistance and cooperation shall be at the expense of
Synageva unless such assistance and cooperation is required due to Cytovance’s
failure to meet its manufacture or supply obligations to Synageva hereunder or
such other breach of this Agreement, in which case such assistance and
cooperation shall be at the expense of Cytovance.

 

14. Shipment

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, all product, raw materials,
samples components or other materials shipped by Cytovance are delivered F.O.B.
Cytovance’s facilities. Cytovance shall package for shipment such product, raw
materials, samples, components or other materials at Synageva’s expense
(including insurance) and in accordance with Synageva’s full written and
reasonable instructions.

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

SUMMARY

Cytovance® Biologics Inc, (“Cytovance”) is a contract biomanufacturing
organization dedicated to meeting the needs of companies seeking to advance
products rapidly and cost-effectively into and through clinical development.

This proposal is written in response to discussions with Synageva Biopharma
regarding SBC-102. SBC-102 is a recombinant human protein under development as
an enzyme replacement therapy for Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) deficiency.
Lysosomal acid lipase acts to reduce the build-up of cholesteryl esters and
triglycerides in the liver and other organs. The SBC-102 produced by
Cytovance is intended for use in Synageva’s human clinical studies.

In keeping with Cytovance’s business philosophy, the proposal has been priced
aggressively and incorporates certain non-standard pricing mechanisms that we
believe provide benefit.

Cytovance Biologics is fully committed to an entrepreneurial and flexible
approach to the biopharmaceutical contract services marketplace and is in a
position to very rapidly execute a suitable services agreement and to commence
work.

PRICE MATRIX

In accordance with Cytovance Biologics’ business strategy we provide the
following pricing estimates for this program below. The estimates are based on
information provided by Synageva and on current assumptions. Pricing may be
modified after detailed technical review, the receipt of additional information
and the mutual development and agreement of a detailed scope-of-work.

Background Information

Cytovance Biologics is a Delaware Corporation. The company was founded to serve
the contract process development and clinical phase cGMP manufacturing market.
In order to allow clients to fully evaluate the merits of this proposal, we
provide the following background information.

Company Background

The company was established in 2003 using $1.25 million of founder’s equity and
private investments, Operations were established in Oklahoma based on a $16.8
million debt-financing package provided by Oklahoma City that was announced on
July 8, 2004. This financing was in the form of an innovative federal and state
tax credit-supported loan from a fund established by Rural Enterprises of
Oklahoma, Inc. (REI), a federally accredited Community Development Financial
Institution. This financing package comprised funds for facility construction,
process equipment and operating capital. In 2005 a new ownership group led by
Dr. William Canfield, acquired the assets of Cytovance Biologics, Inc. and
formed Cytovance Biologics, LLC. These new investors along with the Presbyterian
Health Foundation capitalized the new company with $15 million working capital
and equipment purchases. Cytovance Biologics enjoys an existing revenue stream
via ongoing customer contracts.

Facilities

Cytovance’s Oklahoma operations are located within the Presbyterian Health
Foundation Research Park, close to the Oklahoma City central business district.
Process development labs are located in 11,000 sq. ft. of class A wet lab and
office space leased from the Foundation. Cytovance’s 44,000 sq. ft. primary CGMP
production facility was custom-designed for multi-product CGMP production and
meets US and European regulatory standards. Facility design was reviewed by the
US Food and Drug Administration prior to construction. This facility features
independent production suites at 100L, 500L, and 1,000L (w/v) scale plus
significant expansion capability.

Cytovance also has approximately 6,000 sq. ft. of existing CGMP clean room space
at its Oklahoma City location that houses CGMP cell banking capabilities and
which features additional CGMP processing suites suitable for pilot production;
customer-specific custom production processes or dedicated production.

 

430398996_1

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

Cytovance welcomes a visit from appropriate Customer representatives to tour the
facilities and undertake a detailed review of facility design, equipment and
validation, process flows, quality systems and so on.

Business Philosophy

The company was founded based on strong client-side experience and the premise
that it is necessary to truly understand customer technical and business needs
in order to efficiently serve its market, We offer a comprehensive portfolio of
commercial-quality services under reasonable terms, and can provide continuity
of manufacturing services over the short and long term. We believe that
the delivery of technical excellence and appropriate compliance is a given. No
client should expect anything less than on-time delivery within an agreed
budget. We believe based on our experience, however, that to differentiate
ourselves and add significant additional value to our customers we need to do
more. Our business model will allow us to truly meet the needs of our customers
and to be successful by also providing the following:

 

  •  

An attractive cost base. As a service provider it is imperative that we deliver
value to our customers. A fundamental business principle for us is to maintain
an attractive cost-of-doing-business and to share that advantage with our
customers. This tenet is applied to all aspects of our business, from the design
of our organization to the location of operations in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

 

  •  

Easy access to our services under reasonable terms.

 

  •  

A success-based culture that is reflected in flexible business terms that can be
modified to assist customers in reaching development and funding milestones.

 

  •  

Custom-designed and state-of-the-art facilities. Our new CGMP multi-product
manufacturing facility is not retro-fitted space or converted from
single/limited product use.

 

  •  

Opportunity to grow. Our facility is designed to include expansion space that
can deliver larger scale production on either a multi-product or client-specific
basis.

 

  •  

A comprehensive-service offering that can provide a turnkey solution, but which
allows clients maximum flexibility to take only the services they require. We
are happy to undertake smaller “stand-alone” projects. We strive to allow our
clients to focus time and resources on core competencies such as drug discovery.

 

  •  

A team of professionals with significant client-side experience supplemented by
a sound working knowledge of the biopharmaceutical services market. We have a
great appreciation for the larger picture of the drug development process. We
will use these experiences to build strong collaborative relationships and to
ensure that we are meeting your needs.

 

  •  

Maximum strategic flexibility. We avoid of the use of royalty-bearing
intellectual property unless specifically requested and ensure that all methods,
processes and systems are transferable. We hope to develop long-term
relationships but will provide our full support if it becomes necessary to
transfer a process to an alternative manufacturing site.

 

  •  

An understanding that the product we deliver is much more than a therapeutic
protein and associated documentation. The processes we develop belong to our
customers and must be economically viable, robust, compliant, scaleable and
transferable. In addition, we want to deliver the know-how that will allow
customers to fully support their process in future.

 

  •  

Easy access to a range of strategic collaborators able to provide “seamless”
access to necessary services not offered by Cytovance Biologics.

 

  •  

Executive level oversight of every customer relationship.
