 of liability; (e) compensation for Services performed; (f) publications; and
(g) retention of records. The provisions of this Section together with any other section which is necessary for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement shall survive the expiry or termination of this Agreement howsoever arising.

  

	4.	 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE 



 

	 	4.1	 Covance will perform its Services in accordance with good laboratory practices and the applicable terms
of this Agreement. All of Covance’s tests, assays and other activities undertaken under this Agreement shall comply in all material respects with College of American Pathologists (CAP) rules. Covance represents that it has and shall
maintain Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) certification. This Agreement shall contain all the conditions under which Covance will provide clinical laboratory Services. Covance makes no express or implied commitments or warranties
concerning the performance of the Study except as set forth in this Agreement. 


  

	 	4.2	 In the event that compliance with any regulatory requirements necessitates a change in this Agreement,
Covance will submit to Sponsor a revised technical and cost proposal for Sponsor’s acceptance prior to performing Services. 


  

	 	4.3	 In the event of a conflict in government regulations, the Parties will discuss and designate which
regulations shall be followed by Covance in its performance of the Services. 


  

	5.	 FEES, BILLING AND TAXES 



 

	 	5.1	 Fees for the Project are set forth in the attached Budget. Sponsor acknowledges that SOW finalization,
changes and/or modifications to the Project may result in a revised budget, which must be mutually agreed upon and the Agreement amended accordingly. The Budget contains all of the applicable discounts for Services that will be provided for that
Project. 


  

	 	5.2	 Upon execution, Covance will assess a fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the value of the contract
Budget (“Project Initiation Fee”). The Project Initiation Fee covers those value-added services rendered but unbilled, including developing the Scope of Work, quality control and loading of project databases, project management and
shipping of kits. Sponsor will pay the Project Initiation Fee within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice. 


  

	 	5.3	 Each month, Covance will invoice Sponsor for all fees due and documented expenses incurred while
providing Services during the previous month documentation for all expenses included on such invoice. Payment is due thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.

credit on each month’s invoices equal to one-sixth (1/6) of the Project Initiation Fee. Should the Study be terminated before the Project Initiation Fee is exhausted and assuming all prior invoices have
been paid, Covance will apply Project Initiation Fee funds to the final invoice and refund any remaining Project Initiation Fee funds to Sponsor within thirty (30) days of termination. 



  
 7 of 21 













	 	5.5	 For budgeting purposes, Covance creates the Budget using local unit pricing. The local unit pricing is
then converted to the billing currency, as requested by Sponsor, using the Reuters exchange rate for the month the Budget is first created. Unless specified otherwise, this exchange rate remains unchanged during the course of the Study to simplify
budget comparisons and enable Sponsor to track changes to the Study unrelated to changes in currency exchange rates. 


  

	 	5.6	 For invoicing purposes, expenses are billed based on the contracted local unit prices. Each month, at
the time of invoice creation, the local unit prices are converted to the billing currency using the Reuters exchange rate for the month in which the expenses were incurred. 



 

	 	5.7	 Covance will hold prices unchanged for twelve (12) months from Project start up. Thereafter, a
Project is subject to a fee increase every twelve (12) months from Project start-up. Any such increase shall not exceed the annual inflation rate during the previous twelve (12) month period, as
measured by the increase in the U.S. Consumer Price Index. Fee increases apply only to Services not yet performed and invoiced on the Study. 


  

	 	5.8	 Should the Sponsor disagree with the accuracy of an invoice, the Sponsor shall notify Covance of such
inaccuracy within thirty (30) working days of receipt of the invoice. The Sponsor agrees to pay the amounts for any items not in dispute. The Sponsor agrees not to unreasonably withhold payment. 



 

	 	5.9	 If Sponsor requests a material change to the Project at any time which would affect the Services,
Covance will revise fees to reflect the change in the SOW and Budget. 


  

	 	5.10	 Upon written notification by Sponsor that the Study has been concluded or upon completion of all
Services required by Covance under this Agreement, Covance will issue a final invoice for Services rendered to identify amounts due to Covance or refund due to Sponsor. 



 

	 	5.11	 Fees payable under this Agreement shall not include local, state, federal or foreign sales or use taxes,
excise taxes, goods and services tax, value added tax or consumption taxes, as applicable. Any applicable taxes will be billed to and paid by Sponsor without deduction to amounts owed to Covance. 



 

	6.	 SITE VISITS 


  

	 	6.1	 The Sponsor or its representative (which shall not be a competitor of Covance) may visit Covance’s
premises where the Services are being performed at reasonable times, on reasonable notice and with reasonable frequency during normal business hours to observe the progress of the Services. Covance will assist the Sponsor in scheduling such visits.



  

	 	6.2	 The Sponsor acknowledges that the Sponsor’s representatives granted access to Covance facilities
during any such visits may have access to confidential and proprietary information of Covance. The Sponsor agrees that all such confidential and proprietary information of Covance obtained or observed by the Sponsor during such visits shall remain
the sole property of Covance and the Sponsor shall treat such information as Confidential Information in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement

	 	7.1	 In the event of a Party receiving a notice from a Regulatory Authority which directly relates to the
Services, the Party receiving such notice shall promptly notify the other Party or forward to the other Party a copy of such notice (or extract thereof). Each Party will cooperate with the other in responding to such notice before referring to the
other Party in any regulatory correspondence or disclosing any Confidential Information to a Regulatory Authority. However, each Party acknowledges that it may not direct the manner in which the other Party fulfils its obligations to permit
inspection by Regulatory Authorities. 


  

	 	7.2	 Covance shall cooperate with any inspection or audit by a Regulatory Authority and shall notify the
Sponsor promptly of any request by a Regulatory Authority. 


  

	 	7.3	 Covance agrees that, during an inspection or audit by a Regulatory Authority concerning the Services, it
will not disclose information and materials that are not required to be disclosed to such Regulatory Authority, without the prior written consent of the Sponsor. 



 

	 	7.4	 If any inspections or audits conducted pursuant to this Section 7 that result in a finding that
Covance has failed to comply with the terms of this Agreement, Covance shall promptly take such measures at its own cost and expense as are necessary to correct such defaults. 



 

	 	7.5	 It is agreed that where any audit of Covance concerns or relates to referral laboratory testing or
shipping methods of Covance, the Sponsor or its representative (which shall not be a competitor of Covance) may only confirm or not if Covance is properly billing such costs. The Sponsor expressly agrees that Sponsor’s representatives may not
directly or indirectly provide any details of the charges to the Sponsor, such as the actual amount of the referral laboratory testing or shipping costs incurred by Covance. 



 

	8.	 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 



 

	 	8.1	 Each Party agrees that all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is and shall be the sole
property of the Disclosing Party.

	 	8.3	 Each Party agrees to hold the Confidential Information of the other Party in confidence and in a manner
consistent with the way in which it maintains the confidentiality of its own proprietary information, being at least a reasonable standard of care. Each Party shall disclose the Confidential Information only on a need to know basis, to its
employees, officers, directors, representatives and third party investigators, in each case who are legally bound to treat the Confidential Information in the manner set forth in this Section 8.

use any of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. 


  

	 	8.5	 Notwithstanding the non-disclosure obligations herein, Recipient
shall not be in breach of this Section 8 if it discloses Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required by Applicable Law or a court or administrative subpoena or order; provided, however, that (a) any such disclosure
shall not otherwise relieve Recipient of its continuing confidentiality and non-use obligations hereunder with respect to all of the Confidential Information, including the information disclosed by it to the
court or agency under this Section 8 and (b) Recipient shall give Disclosing Party reasonable advance notice of any such disclosure and cooperate reasonably with Disclosing Party (and at Disclosing Party’s expense) in Disclosing
Party’s efforts to object to such disclosure and to obtain the court’s or administrative agency’s agreement to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information to be disclosed by Recipient under this Section 8.



  

	 	8.6	 The obligations in this Section 8 shall remain in full force and effect for a period of seven
(7) years following termination of this Agreement except with respect to Confidential Information which is considered a trade secret under Applicable Law, which shall remain confidential as long as such Confidential
Information retains its status as a trade secret. 


  

	 	8.7	 Misuse or disclosure of the Confidential Information by Recipient may cause irreparable harm to
Disclosing Party not adequately compensable by money damages. In the event of actual or threatened breach or violation of this Section 8, the disclosing Party shall have the right to seek injunctive relief in any court of competent
jurisdiction, without the need to post any bond and without the need to demonstrate actual damages.

RMCL’s payment of amounts due to Covance hereunder, Covance assigns all rights in and to the Deliverables to the Sponsor, except that one (1) copy of the Results may be retained by Covance solely for regulatory or legal compliance
purposes. The Sponsor hereby grants Covance an unrestricted, royalty-free license to aggregate and use System Data produced by or for Covance as part of the Services with other System Data owned or licensed by Covance only if Sponsor is not

	30.	 CHOICE OF LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION 



 

	 	30.1	 This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
U.S.A., without regard to conflicts of laws provisions. 


  

	 	30.2	 Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or
the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Securities Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”), including the AAA’s Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes, in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. The seat of the arbitration shall
be New York, New York, and it shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitration and this clause shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code. The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur to a Party in the
event that the other Party may fail or fails to comply with the provisions of Section 8. Accordingly, and without otherwise limiting the requirement of mandatory arbitration imposed hereunder, a Party may seek from any court having jurisdiction
any interim or provisional relief (without the necessity of posting bond) that may be necessary to protect its interests under Section 8, pending the arbitral tribunal’s final determination of the merits of the controversy.



  

	 	30.3	 The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. The claimant shall appoint an arbitrator in its
request for arbitration. The respondent shall appoint an arbitrator within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the request for arbitration. The two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall act as chair of the tribunal, within
twenty (20) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator. If any of the three arbitrators is not appointed within the time prescribed above, then the AAA shall appoint that arbitrator from its National Panel of Securities Arbitrators or
its Large, Complex Commercial Case Panel, not including any such members affiliated with the securities industry. The chair of the tribunal shall be a citizen of the United States. 



 

	 	30.4	 In addition to the authority conferred on the arbitration tribunal by the Rules, the arbitration
tribunal shall have the authority to order such production of documents, generally consistent with the discovery permitted under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as may reasonably be requested by any party or by the tribunal itself. In
addition, any party may request a reasonable number of depositions of party witnesses.

	 	30.5	 The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the
proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the AAA, the
Parties, their counsel, accountants and auditors, insurers and re-insurers, and any person or entity necessary to the conduct of the proceeding. The confidentiality obligations in this Section 28.5 shall
not apply (i) if disclosure is required by Applicable Law, or in judicial or administrative proceedings, or (ii) as far as disclosure is necessary to enforce the rights arising out of the award. 



 

	 	30.6	 The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered
by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets. 


  

	 	30.7	 In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any party
to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding involving any of the Parties hereto relating to this Agreement. The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate
such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the related proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no party would be prejudiced as
a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. 


  

	 	30.8	 The Parties agree that any dispute arising from or in connection with this Agreement (including any non-contractual obligations) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, which Rules shall be deemed incorporated by reference to the Agreement.
The number of arbitrators shall be three (3), the seat or legal place of arbitration shall be New York and the language used in the arbitration shall be English.
