5.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES



BIOVEST and Client hereby mutually represent, warrant and agree as follows:



(a) All materials required to conduct the Project and
complete each Project Work Order, including, without limitation, cell culture materials; including cells, cell banks, media, media supplements, and reagents, and purification materials, including purification columns, resins, reagents and membranes
together with all other project materials (Materials), will be provided by Client at Clients expense, or procured by BioVest on Clients behalf upon terms defined in the applicable Project Work Order. Should Client elect to
procure the cell line, media or other Materials from a third-Party vendor, this vendor shall be subject to review and approval by BIOVEST. The undertaking of BIOVEST to perform services under this Master Services Agreement and any Project Work Order
agreed to hereunder is a contract for services only.



(b) Prior to delivery to BIOVEST, Client will, at its expense, conduct or cause to be conducted testing of all cell line material, media and related materials to be used in any Project hereunder. This testing shall demonstrate that
the materials are sterile, free from mycoplasma contamination (as tested by both direct and indirect assays), and free from viral contaminants. In addition, cell banks will be tested for authenticity. Such testing will be conducted in accordance
with generally accepted industry testing standards (21 CFR 610.30 and Points to Consider for the Characterization of Cell Lines Used to Produce Biologicals, CBER, FDA, 1993). Client will conduct testing for mycoplasma and viral
contaminants at facilities that comply with Good Laboratory Practices, GLP, FDA Guidelines, 21 CFR Part 58. Copies of testing documentation must be completed and forwarded by Client to BIOVEST before the start of any production batch pursuant to any
Work Plan.



(c) The cell line material, media and other
Materials provided by Client for use in any project conducted hereunder (Client Materials) is and shall remain the property and responsibility of Client. Unless otherwise required by the Project Work Order requesting storage of Client
Materials or a Biovest Storage Agreement executed by the Parties, Biovest shall have no obligation to store, maintain or retain any Client Materials which remain after completion or termination of a Project. In the absence of a Project Work Order
requesting storage or an executed Biovest Storage Agreement, any Client Materials retained in Biovests possession shall be at Biovests discretion and Biovest shall have no obligation or responsibility as to the manner of storage or the
condition of the Client Materials. Upon written request of Client, all Client Materials remaining after completion or termination of a Project will be returned to Client.



(d) The performance of cell lines is difficult to predict. BIOVEST makes no representation or warranty concerning the
performance and/or stability of any cell line, unprocessed bulk, and purified bulk material. Biovest shall not be responsible for project failure, delays or inability to attain required product specifications that are caused by instability or poor
performance of Clients cell line material.



(e)
Contamination or unexpected failure is unlikely; however, the potential for contamination or unexpected failure does exist in any Project conducted hereunder. BIOVEST makes no representation or warranty regarding contamination or unexpected failure.



(f) BIOVEST makes the following warranty regarding the
services to be provided by Biovest under this Agreement: Biovest will perform the services required under this Master Services Agreement and all Project Work Orders agreed to hereunder in a commercially

reasonable manner in accordance with Section 1(a) hereof (BIOVEST Limited Warranty). The BIOVEST Limited
Warranty is in lieu of any and all other warranties, expressed or implied, including warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, relating to Projects hereunder, this Master Services Agreement and all services to be performed
by BIOVEST for client. BIOVEST shall not be liable to client or any third Party by or through client for any consequential, special, or other damages. The Parties agree that in the event of a breach by BIOVEST of the BIOVEST Limited Warranty
BIOVESTs liability hereunder shall be limited to damages in an amount not to exceed the fee paid or to be paid by the client to BIOVEST in connection with the project.



5.    PROJECT FAILURE.



Unexpected project failure, including contamination (Project Failure), is not common, but is possible in any
Project. The source or cause of Project Failure is often difficult or impossible to definitively determine. To have an orderly procedure for the allocation of responsibility for Project Failure and an orderly procedure in the event of a Project
Failure without a determined cause, the Parties agree as follows:



(a) In the event of Project Failure, Client may, in its discretion, elect to terminate the Project Work Order by paying all amounts due ailure. In such event, the Project Work Order shall be deemed terminated
in accordance with tunder the affected Project Work Order up to and including the time of discovery of Project Fhe provisions of Paragraph 2; of this Agreement or



(b) In the event the Work Order is not terminated by Client pursuant subsection (1) above, the
Parties shall attempt to determine the cause of the Project Failure. If the Parties do not otherwise mutually agree as to the cause of the Project Failure, BioVest and Client shall jointly conduct an investigation into the cause of the Project
Failure (Investigation). The Investigation will include such tests deemed necessary by BioVest, in consultation with Client, with the cost of all tests being equally shared by the Parties.



(c) In the event that through an Investigation or
otherwise the cause of the Project Failure is determined to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties (the Cause of Project Failure), the Party designated herein as being responsible for that cause (the Responsible Party) shall
bear all costs of re-performing that part of the Project that failed, including the cost of testing (Re-performing the Failed Project). In such event, the cost of Re-performing the Failed Project will be based on the Project Cost as
specified in the Project Work Order to the extent related to the part of the Project Work Order required to be re-performed. The Responsible Party shall only be required to Re-perform the Failed Project on one occasion. For purposes hereof, the
Party responsible for the following causes of failure shall be as follows:
