Customer may cancel a binding Purchase Order (including with respect to a reserve Batch scheduled for production pursuant to Section 6.5) upon written notice to Lonza, subject to the payment of a cancellation fee as calculated below (the “Cancellation Fee”):

6.6.1    In the event that Customer provides written notice of cancellation to Lonza less than or equal to [***] months prior to the Commencement Date of one or more Batches, then [***] of the Batch Price of each such Batch cancelled is payable;

6.6.2    In the event that Customer provides written notice of cancellation to Lonza more than [***] months but less than or equal to [***] months prior to the Commencement Date of one or more Batches, then [***] of the Batch Price of each such Batch cancelled is payable; or

6.6.3    In the event Customer provides written notice of cancellation more than [***] months prior to the Commencement Date of a Batch, then no Cancellation Fee is payable.

6.7       Payment of Cancellation Fee.  Any Cancellation Fee shall be payable within [***] days following the written notice of cancellation associated with the cancelled Batch.  Any Cancellation Fee shall include all costs associated with the cancelled Batch, including any Raw Materials.

6.8       Replacement Project.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lonza will use [***] efforts to secure a new project (but excluding any project then under contract with Lonza) for the cGMP manufacturing space, and for the same dates and duration that would have been occupied by Customer, and then, in such case, the Cancellation Fee for each Batch cancelled that is

In the event of a discrepancy between Customer’s and Lonza’s test results such that Lonza’s test results fall within relevant Specifications, or there exists a dispute between the Parties over the extent to which such failure is attributable to a given Party, the Parties shall cause an independent laboratory promptly to review records, test data and perform comparative tests and analyses on samples of the Product that allegedly fails to conform to Specifications.  Such independent laboratory shall be mutually agreed

upon by the Parties.  The independent laboratory’s results shall be in writing and shall be final and binding save for manifest error.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by the Party against whom the independent laboratory rules.

7.3.3    Lonza shall reprocess any Batch or, if reprocessing is not possible, replace any Batch that failed to conform with the Specifications (a “Failed Batch”), in the event that it is determined (by the Parties or the independent laboratory) that such failure was solely due to Lonza’s material breach of its obligations hereunder, negligence or intentional misconduct (“Lonza Responsibility”), without additional expense to Customer.  Such reprocessing or replacement shall be made as promptly as practicable, in light of available manufacturing capacity, after the confirmation of Lonza Responsibility, and in any case as soon as reasonably possible after confirmation of Lonza Responsibility.  Where possible, any replacement Batch shall be manufactured with the next scheduled cGMP Batch or Campaign.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy with respect to a Failed Batch that is a Lonza Responsibility is as set forth in this Clause 7.3.3, and in furtherance thereof, Customer hereby waives all other remedies at law or in equity regarding the foregoing claims.  Lonza shall not be responsible for the cost of Raw Materials or Customer Materials consumed in any Failed Batch except in the instance of Lonza Responsibility, herein.  Lonza shall have no liability with respect to, and Customer shall be required to pay for, any Failed Batch that is not determined to be a Lonza Responsibility.

8.4       If in default of payment of any undisputed invoice on the due date, interest shall accrue on any amount overdue at the lesser of [***]; and Lonza shall, at its sole discretion, and without prejudice to any other of its accrued rights, be entitled to suspend the provision of

8.5       Price adjustments.

8.5.1    Not more than once per calendar year, Lonza may adjust the Price in accordance with [***] increase for the previous calendar year.  The new Price reflecting such Batch Price adjustment shall be effective for any Batch for which the Commencement Date is on or after the date of Lonza’s notice to Customer of the Price adjustment.

8.5.2    In addition to the above, the Price may be changed by Lonza, upon reasonable prior written notice to Customer (providing reasonable detail in support thereof), to reflect (i) an increase in variable costs (such as energy or Raw Materials not reimbursed at cost) by more than [***] (based on the initial Price or any previously amended Price), or for a process adjustment or assumption changes, and (ii) any material change in an environmental, safety or regulatory standard that substantially impacts Lonza’s cost and ability to perform the Services; provided, however, that, if the Prices are changed by more than [***] for any of these reasons, Customer shall have the right to change its forecasts without penalty.

8.5.3    The Prices outlined in the Project Plan are based on the currency exchange rate of [***] to [***] at the Effective Date.  Lonza shall bear the risk of any increase or decrease of the [***] exchange rate up to [***] from the base currency exchange rate.  If the [***] exchange rate is more than [***] higher or lower than the base currency exchange rate at the date on which the Prices become due for payment, then the Prices will be adjusted higher or lower to compensate all exchange rate differences greater than [***].  The currency adjustments to be made, if any, shall be based on the market rate of exchange as published by Bloomberg.

to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of this Agreement.  Prior to disclosure to such persons, the Receiving Party shall bind its and its Affiliates’ officers, employees, consultants and representatives to confidentiality and non-use obligations no less stringent than those set forth herein.  The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party as promptly as practicable of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

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

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

14Term and Termination

14.1     Term.  This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall end on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date unless terminated earlier as provided herein or extended by mutual written consent of the Parties (the “Term”).

If Lonza decides prior to the end of such [***] days to provide substantially similar or superior commercial terms, Customer shall be obligated to enter into a new supply agreement with Lonza on such substantially similar or superior commercial terms proposed by Lonza.

continue, Lonza shall be excused from the performance or the punctual performance of such obligations as the case may be from the date of such notice for so long as such cause of prevention or delay shall continue.  Provided that, if such Force Majeure persists for a period of [***] months or more, Customer may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Lonza.

15.2     “Force Majeure” shall be deemed to include any reason or cause beyond Lonza’s reasonable control affecting the performance by Lonza of its obligations under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, any cause arising from or attributable to acts of God, strike, lockouts, labor troubles, restrictive governmental orders or decrees, riots, insurrection, war, terrorists acts, or the inability of Lonza to obtain any required raw material, energy source, equipment, labor or transportation, at prices and on terms deemed by Lonza to be reasonably practicable, from Lonza’s usual sources of supply.

15.3     With regard to Lonza, any such event of Force Majeure affecting services or production at its Affiliates or suppliers shall be regarded as an event of Force Majeure, but only to the extent that such event delays or prevents Lonza’s performance of its obligations hereunder.

16Public and Commercial Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Representations and Warranties 

Lonza hereby represents and warrants that it has not, and agrees that it will not, in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, make or promise or offer to make any payment or transfer of anything of value, directly or indirectly:  (i) to any governmental official or government employee (including employees of government-owned entities or corporations); or (ii) to any political party, official of a political party or candidate (or to a third party for payment to any of the foregoing) in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement in order to obtain or retain business or to secure any improper advantage.  It is the intent of the parties that no payments or transfers of value shall be made that have the purpose or effect of public or commercial bribery, acceptance of or acquiescence in extortion, kickbacks or other unlawful or improper means of obtaining business.  This Section 16 shall not, however, prohibit normal and customary business entertainment or providing business mementos of nominal value; provided, however, that all such payments shall be lawful, reasonable, directly related to the business of Lonza, and accurately described in the books and records of Lonza.  At Customer’s request, Lonza agrees to provide a signed Certification, in the form set forth in Appendix E hereto, on an annual basis for as long as the Agreement remains in effect.

17Miscellaneous

17.1     Severability.  If any provision hereof is or becomes at any time illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, neither the legality, validity nor enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

which is as far as possible commercially equivalent considering the legal interests and the Purpose.

17.2     Amendments/Assignment.  Modifications and/or amendments of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Parties.  Lonza shall be entitled to instruct one or more of its Affiliates to perform any of Lonza’s obligations contained in this Agreement, but Lonza shall remain fully responsible in respect of those obligations.  Subject thereto, neither Party may assign its interest under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however that (a) either Party may assign this Agreement to (i) any Affiliate of that Party or (ii) any third party in connection with the sale or transfer (by whatever method) of, in the case of Customer, all or substantially all of the assets of Customer’s business or, in the case of Lonza, of all or substantially all of the assets of the business related to the Facility or providing the Services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may not assign its interest in this Agreement to any third party that is engaged in contract manufacturing of biological or pharmaceutical products without Lonza’s prior written consent, and (b) Lonza shall be entitled to sell, assign and/or transfer its trade receivables resulting from this Agreement without the consent of the Customer.  For purposes of this Clause 17.2, the terms “assign” and “assignment” shall include, without limitation (i) the sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding stock of such Party to an Affiliate of such Party or an unrelated entity or natural person, (ii) the sale or transfer or other assignment of all or substantially all of the assets of the Party or the line of business or Product to which this Agreement relates, and (iii) a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other form of business combination.  Any purported assignment without a required consent shall be void.  No assignment shall relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of any obligation that accrued prior to the effective date of such assignment.

17.3     Notice.  All notices must be written and sent to the address of the Party first set forth above.  All notices must be given (a) by personal delivery, with receipt acknowledged, (b) by facsimile followed by hard copy delivered by the methods under (c) or (d), (c) by prepaid certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or (d) by prepaid recognized next business day delivery service.

| Audit Observation          | A concise statement of a deviation from regulations, the Quality Agreement, license requirement, and/or procedure.

						 

Critical Observation:  Observation causes Product to be at risk (quality, identity, safety, strength, purity) and subject to regulatory or marketed action; e.g., fraudulent data, violation of regulatory commitments, or the Product license

						 

Major Observation:  Observation that demonstrates that product might be at risk and issue is likely to result in a regulatory observation; e.g., Quality System elements exists but they are not consistently and/or effectively applied; observation was previously identified but no action plan or corrective/remedial plan in place

						 

Minor Observation:  Observation does not impact the Product quality (Product is not at risk) and issue may or may not result in a regulatory observation; e.g., issue was a departure from planned arrangements (one time events); corrective and remedial action was self-initiated. |
