purchase order and shall set forth an estimated Delivery date for each ordered Batch. For clarity, Clause 6.3.3 creates the legally binding commitment in respect of such [...***...] Batches. 

 

	 	6.4.2	With regard to Batches in the Minimum Order: Customer shall within [...***...] of first Approval in the first MO Year, and thereafter within each subsequent MO year, in each case at least [...***...]
prior to the Commencement Date of a Campaign place purchase orders binding on Customer for the number of Batches that comprises the Minimum Order for the applicable MO Year which it is obligated to purchase in accordance with Clause 6.3.1. Each
binding purchase order shall be signed by Customer and shall authorise Lonza to manufacture such Batches of the Product as are set forth therein. Lonza shall promptly accept such purchase order and shall set forth an estimated Delivery date for each
ordered Batch. For clarity, Clause 6.3.1 creates the legally binding commitment in respect of such Batches in the Minimum Order.

	 	6.4.3	With regard to any Additional Batches which Customer included in its Forecast and which Lonza indicated that, at the time of its Response it had capacity for at the Facility, Customer may place purchase orders
and Lonza may (at its discretion), if at the time of receipt of such purchase order Lonza still has capacity at the Facility to manufacture such Additional Batches, accept such purchase order for such Additional Batches within [...***...]
business days of receipt. Lonza shall have no obligation to accept such purchase order. If Lonza accepts such purchase order, in its written confirmation of such purchase order for Additional Batches, Lonza shall set forth an estimated Delivery date
for each ordered Batch and such confirmation shall create a legally binding commitment from both parties to manufacture, Deliver and purchase (as applicable) such Additional Batches. Any Delivery date set forth in Lonza’s written confirmation
of a purchase order or in any Project Plan shall be an estimated Delivery date. 

  

	 	6.4.4	All Batches shall be scheduled in a single Campaign in each calendar year unless otherwise agreed by Lonza and Customer. Any additional or inconsistent terms or conditions of any Customer purchase order, acknowledgement
or similar standardized form given or received pursuant to this Agreement shall have no effect and such terms and conditions are hereby rejected. 

  

	 	6.5	Shortfall Notice. If at any time during any MO Year: (a) Lonza believes that [...***...]; or (b) [...***...] occurs, Lonza shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Customer, which
notice shall include: (i) the number of Batches that Lonza believes it will be unable to Deliver; (ii) the reasons for Lonza’s inability to Deliver such number of Batches; and (iii) Lonza’s anticipated timeline for being
able to Deliver such number of Batches (such notice, a “Shortfall Notice”). Following delivery of a Shortfall Notice, Lonza shall be obligated to provide written notice(s) to Customer promptly in the event there are subsequent changes in
the details covered by a particular Shortfall Notice. For clarity, the provisions of this Clause 6.5 and Clause 6.6 and other provisions relating to mechanisms addressing Lonza’s inability to deliver Batches set forth in purchase orders under
this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect Lonza’s obligations to continue efforts to manufacture and deliver Products in accordance with Clause 2.1. 

 

	 	6.6	Rescheduling. Lonza shall have the right to reschedule the start of any Batch or Campaign in any calendar year upon reasonable prior written notice to Customer (such notice to be sent to Customer as soon as
reasonably practicable), provided that the rescheduled Commencement Date of such Batch or Campaign is no earlier or no later than [...***...] days from the date originally estimated at the time of Lonza’s acceptance of the purchase order.
If the Customer requests to change the Commencement Date, Lonza will make all reasonable attempts to accommodate the request; provided, however, in the event that this change would impact other projects scheduled for occupancy in the designated
suite or suites at the Facility, manufacture of the Customer’s Batch or Campaign may be delayed until [...***...]. Any such change requested by Customer may result in a reasonable rescheduling fee. Any delay requested by Customer of more
than [...***...] days shall be considered a cancellation pursuant to Clause 6.7.

	 	6.7	Cancellation. If Customer cancels any Batch to which it is committed to purchase under Clause 6.3.1, 6.3.3 or 6.4.3 (whether in whole or in part) for any Engineering Batch, Process Validation Batches and/or cGMP
Batches (whether such Batches are part of the Minimum Order or are Additional Batches) it shall pay Lonza [...***...]% of the Batch Price for each such cancelled Batch (the “Cancelation Fee”). Such Cancellation Fee shall be payable
within [...***...] days following the written notice of cancellation associated with the cancelled Batch. In addition to the Cancellation Fee, the Customer shall pay for all costs associated with the cancelled Batch that Lonza has incurred, or
is irrevocably committed to pay, including the costs of Raw Materials and the Raw Materials Fee, except as otherwise provided in Appendix A. 

  

	 	6.8	Replacement Product. Lonza will use reasonable efforts to secure a new project or additional batches under an existing project with a Third Party (excluding any batches with regard to which another customer is
then under contractual obligation or binding purchase orders with Lonza to manufacture) 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
a cancelled Batch that is replaced by a batch for the replacement project or expanded existing project shall be reduced by an amount equal to the production fees associated with such replacement batch. 

 

	 	6.9	Additional Work. In the event that the parties agree for any additional work to be added to the Project Plan (“Additional Work”), the prices for such Additional Work shall be calculated based on
Lonza’s standard pricing at the time of agreement of such Additional Work. Once the Additional Work has been added into this Agreement, the pricing for such Additional Work shall be subject to review in accordance with the provisions of Clause
8.8. 

  

	 	6.10	Process Change Requests. Lonza shall communicate the lock down dates by which any request process changes can be accepted under purchase orders, change orders or statements of work. Should changes be requested
outside of the lock down date prior to a Campaign, Customer may present a request for an expedited consideration of the change. Lonza will use commercially reasonable efforts to evaluate, however, Lonza will retain the right to adhere to lock down
dates. 

  

	7	Delivery and Acceptance 

  

	 	7.1	Delivery. All Product shall be delivered EXW (as defined by Incoterms® 2010) the Facility and Lonza shall deliver to Customer the Certificate of Analysis,
the Certificate of Compliance and such other documentation as may be required by the Quality Agreement not later than the date of the EXW delivery of Batches (the “Delivery”). With respect to any Customer Materials, title and risk of loss
shall remain with the Customer and shall not transfer to Lonza. With respect to Product, title and risk of loss shall transfer to Customer upon Delivery in accordance with this provision. 

 

	 	7.2	 Storage. Customer shall arrange for shipment and take delivery of such Batch from the Facility, at
Customer’s expense, within [...***...] days after Delivery or pay applicable storage costs. Lonza shall provide storage on a bill and hold basis for such Batch(es) at no charge for up to [...***...] days; provided that any
additional storage beyond [...***...] days will be subject to availability and, if available, will be charged to Customer and will be subject to a separate agreement. In addition to Clause 8.5, Customer shall be responsible for all value

  
 ***Confidential Treatment

added tax (VAT) and any other applicable taxes, levies, import, duties and fees of whatever nature imposed as a result of any storage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, in no event shall Lonza be required to store any Batch for more than [...***...] days after Delivery. Within [...***...] days following a written request from Lonza, Customer shall provide Lonza with a letter in form
satisfactory to Lonza confirming the bill and hold status of each stored Batch. 

  

	 	7.3	Acceptance/Rejection of Product. 

  

	 	7.3.1	Promptly following Delivery of cGMP Batches and Process Validation Batches (but not Pilot Batches or Engineering Batches), Customer shall inspect such Batches and shall have the right to test such Batches to determine
compliance with the Specifications. Customer shall notify Lonza in writing of any rejection of a cGMP Batch or Process Validation Batch based on any claim that it fails to conform to cGMP and the Specifications or was not manufactured in accordance
with the Quality Agreement within [...***...] days of Delivery (the “Rejection Notice”), after which time all unrejected cGMP Batches or Process Validation Batches shall be deemed accepted; provided, however, that in the case of a
Batch having a defect that causes a Batch to fail to comply with the Specifications and such defect is not discoverable upon reasonable physical inspection and testing performed pursuant to this Clause 7.3.1 but is discovered at a later time (e.g.,
in the course or as a result of long-term stability studies), but in any event within [...***...] months of Delivery, Customer will have [...***...] days from the discovery of such defect to provide a Rejection Notice to Lonza, in which
case such Batch shall no longer be deemed accepted, provided always that the stability studies do not indicate that the Product would have degraded or deteriorated in any way within this period, in which case there would be no such right of
rejection. Following receipt of a Rejection Notice, the Parties shall use their reasonable endeavours to reach a resolution, subject to Clause 7.3.2. 

  

	 	7.3.2	In the event that Lonza believes that a cGMP Batch or Process Validation Batch has been incorrectly rejected, Lonza may require that Customer provide to it cGMP Batch or Process Validation Batch samples for testing.
Lonza may retain and test the samples of such cGMP Batch or Process Validation Batch. In the event of a discrepancy between Customer’s and Lonza’s test results such that Lonza’s test results fall within the 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/or analyses
on samples of the Product that allegedly fails to conform to the 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	 In the event that it is determined (by the Parties or the independent laboratory) that any cGMP Batch or Process
Validation Batch failed to conform with the Specifications or was not manufactured in accordance 

  
 ***Confidential Treatment
Requested 
  
 15 

	 	
with cGMP and the Quality Agreement (a “Failed Batch”), and such failure or non-conformity: (a) is primarily and materially attributable to Lonza’s breach of its obligations
hereunder or Lonza’s negligence or intentional misconduct; or (b) results from a critical failure at the Facility or in the performance of the Manufacturing Process or the equipment used to manufacture Product which in each case, is
primarily and materially attributable to Lonza’s breach of its obligations hereunder or Lonza’s negligence or intentional misconduct (collectively, “Lonza Responsibility”), or in the event any Engineering Batch fails to
demonstrate the successful transfer of the Manufacturing Process to the Facility and such failure was primarily and materially attributable to Lonza’s breach of its obligations hereunder or negligence in following the Manufacturing Process or
other written instructions in cGMP documentation (a “Failed Engineering Batch”); then Lonza shall replace such Batch as promptly as practicable (subject always to Lonza’s contractual commitments to Third Parties). Customer shall pay
for such replacement Batch and the Raw Materials and Resins used therein (and any money Customer paid towards the Failed Batch or Failed Engineering Batch (including Raw Materials and Resins) shall be credited to the cost of the replacement Batch
and related Raw Materials and Resins used in the replacement Batch). Customer acknowledges and agrees that, except in the case of Persistent Supply Failure (for which Customer shall have the rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement)
and Lonza’s indemnity obligations pursuant to Clause 12.1 its sole remedy with respect to a Failed Batch that is a Lonza Responsibility or a Failed Engineering Batch is as set forth in this Clause 7.3.3 (notwithstanding any remedies which would
otherwise be available at law or in equity). Lonza shall not be responsible for the cost of Raw Materials or Customer Materials consumed in any Failed Batch or Failed Engineering Batch except to the extent set forth in this Clause 7.3.3.

  

	 	7.3.4	Lonza shall investigate, and cooperate reasonably with Customer in investigating, any Failed Batch or Failed Engineering Batch. Lonza shall keep Customer informed of the status of any investigation and, upon completion
of the investigation, shall provide Customer with a final written report describing the cause of the failure and summarizing the results of the investigation. 

  

	8	Price and Payment 

  

	 	8.1	Other Services. Pricing for the Services (other than the manufacture of Batches) provided by Lonza are set out in, and based on the assumptions and information set out in, the applicable Project Plan. In the

and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that any Lonza Indemnitees may suffer as a result of any Third Party claim arising directly out of: (i) any material breach of warranties given in this Agreement by Customer; (ii) the
manufacture, use, sale, or distribution of any Product, including any claims of product liability; (iii) any claims alleging that the use by Lonza, any of Lonza’s Affiliates, any Lonza sub-contractors, any External Laboratory or any Third
Party of the Cell Line, Customer Information, Customer Background Intellectual Property, Customer Materials, New Customer Intellectual Property, and/or any and all information, materials and other Intellectual Property supplied by or on behalf of
the Customer, for the purposes of this Agreement, infringes any Intellectual Property rights of Third Parties; and/or (iv) Customer’s negligence or intentional misconduct; except, in each case, to the extent that such claims resulted from
the negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Agreement by any Lonza Indemnitees. 

  

	 	12.3	Indemnification Procedure. If the Party to be indemnified intends to claim indemnification under this Clause 12, it shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of such claim. The indemnitor shall have
the right to control the defense and/or settlement thereof; provided, however, that any indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. The indemnitee shall not settle any indemnifiable claim without the prior written
consent of the indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnitee, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnitor (at the expense of the indemnitor) in the investigation of any liability covered by
this Clause 12. The failure to deliver prompt written notice to the indemnitor of any claim, solely to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such claim, shall relieve the indemnitor of any obligation to the indemnitee under this Clause 12.

  

	 	12.4	DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. SUBJECT ALWAYS TO CLAUSE 12.6, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY AND/OR ANY OF THE OTHER PARTY’S AFFILIATES AND/OR ANY OF THE
OTHER PARTY’S INDEMNITEES (IN EACH CASE WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY, UNDER ANY INDEMNITY OR OTHERWISE HOWSOEVER ARISING) FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUES, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF REPUTATION, OR FOR
ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. 

  

	 	12.5	 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. SUBJECT ALWAYS TO CLAUSE 12.6, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF LONZA AND ITS
AFFILIATES WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR RELATED SET OF CLAIMS UNDER OR IN RELATION TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY, UNDER ANY INDEMNITY OR OTHERWISE HOWSOEVER ARISING) SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE
AGGREGATE, [...***...] IN THE [...***...] PERIOD OF THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE APPLICABLE

INSTANCE, [...***...] IN THE [...***...] PERIOD OF THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO SUCH INDEMNITY CLAIM, LESS ANY AMOUNT PREVOUSLY PAID BY THE APPLICABLE PARTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH INDEMNITY CLAIMS. 

 

	 	12.6	NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL OPERATE SO AS TO EXCLUDE OR IN ANY WAY LIMIT ANY LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY, OR TO THE EXTENT RESULTING FROM GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, A BREACH
OF CONFIDENTIALITY, OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT CUSTOMER’S LIABILITY TO PAY INVOICES AND/OR CANCELLATION FEES EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED IN CLAUSES 14.3.3, 14.3.5 AND 14.3.6. 

  

	13	Confidentiality 

  

	 	13.1	A Party receiving Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) agrees to strictly keep secret any and all Confidential Information received during the Term from or on behalf of the other Party (the
“Disclosing Party”) as well as the terms of this Agreement using at least the same level of measures as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in any case at least commercially reasonable and customary efforts.
Confidential Information shall include information disclosed in any form including but not limited to in writing, orally, graphically or in electronic or other form to the Receiving Party, observed by the Receiving Party or its employees, agents,
consultants, or representatives, or otherwise learned by the Receiving Party under this Agreement, which the Receiving Party knows or reasonably should know is confidential or proprietary. For clarity, all “Customer Information” disclosed
or made available by or on behalf of one Party to the other Party or any of its Affiliates or representatives shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Customer for purposes of this Agreement and all “Lonza Information,” disclosed or
made available by or on behalf of one Party to the other Party or any of its Affiliates or representatives shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Lonza for purposes of this Agreement. 

 

	 	13.2	Notwithstanding the foregoing, Receiving Party may disclose to any courts and/or other authorities Confidential Information which is or will be required pursuant to applicable governmental or administrative or public
law, rule, regulation or order, including, without limitation requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange on which a Party’s equity securities are traded. In such case the Party that received the
Confidential Information will, to the extent legally permitted, inform the other 

  
 ***Confidential Treatment
Requested 
  
 24 

 Party promptly in writing and reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking to
minimize the extent of Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed to the courts and/or authorities. 
  

	 	13.3	In the case of Customer as the Receiving Party: (a) Customer may disclose the terms of this Agreement to actual and prospective Third Party licensees, collaborators, acquirers, investors and strategic partners who:
(i) have been informed of the confidential nature of such terms; (ii) have a need to know such terms; and (iii) are bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations no less stringent than those set forth herein; and (b) Lonza
will not unreasonably withhold its consent to Customer’s disclosure of other Confidential Information as is reasonably required for (i) actual and prospective Third Party licensees, collaborators, acquirers, investors and strategic
partners to conduct due diligence evaluations of Customer and TRC105 (provided that Customer complies with clauses (a)(i) – (iii) above), or (ii) regulatory filings related to the Product, including a biologics license application or
marketing authorization application. 

  

	 	13.4	The obligation to maintain confidentiality under this Agreement does not apply to Confidential Information, which: 

  

	 	13.4.1	at the time of disclosure was publicly available; 

  

	 	13.4.2	is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; 

  

	 	13.4.3	the Receiving Party can establish by competent proof, was rightfully in its possession at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party and had not been received from or on behalf of Disclosing Party (or anyone for
whom it is responsible); 

  

	 	13.4.4	is supplied to a Party by a Third Party which was not in breach of an obligation of confidentiality to Disclosing Party or any other party; or 

 

	 	13.4.5	is developed by the Receiving Party independently from and without use of the Confidential Information, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records. 

 

	 	13.5	The Receiving Party will use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only for the purposes of this Agreement and will not make any use of the Confidential Information for its own separate benefit or the benefit
of any Third Party including, without limitation, with respect to research or product development or any reverse engineering or similar testing. The Receiving Party agrees to return or destroy, as directed by Disclosing Party, promptly (and certify
such destruction) on Disclosing Party’s request, or upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, all written or tangible Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except that one copy of such Confidential Information may be kept by
the Receiving Party in its confidential files for record keeping purposes only, provided that during the period of such retention the confidentiality obligations in Clause 13 shall continue to apply. 

 

	 	13.6	 Each Party will restrict the disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information to such officers,
employees, consultants and representatives of itself and its Affiliates who have been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and who have a need to know such Confidential Information for the

  
 25 

	 	
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. Lonza may disclose the
Customer’s Confidential Information to Lonza’s Affiliates, contractors and the External Laboratories, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary for Lonza to perform the Services under this Agreement. 

 

	 	13.7	The Receiving Party shall at all times be fully liable for any and all breaches of the confidentiality obligations in this Clause 13 by any of its Affiliates or subcontractors or the employees, consultants and
representatives of itself or its Affiliates or subcontractors, or by any other third party to which it is permitted to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information. 

 

	 	13.8	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. 

  

	14	Term and Termination 

  

	 	14.1	Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall end on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the date of first Approval unless terminated
earlier as provided herein or extended by mutual written consent of the Parties (the “Term”). The Term may be extended on the written agreement of the Parties for a further three (3) years, provided such extension shall be made no

Governmental Authority indicating that Customer’s application for approval to market the Product cannot be approved and a Customer Withdrawal subsequently occurs; or (b) a Customer Withdrawal occurs; 

 

	 	14.2.2	after first Approval, Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to Lonza in the event that: (a) Approval is withdrawn by a Governmental Authority and a

	 	14.2.3	 by either Party if the other Party commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach to
the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching Party within thirty (30) days (or ten (10) days for non-payment or amounts not subject to good-faith dispute) following written notification of such breach from the non-breaching party to
the breaching party; provided, however, that such thirty (30) day period 

  
 26 

	 	
shall be extended as agreed by the Parties if the identified breach is incapable of cure within thirty (30) days but is curable within sixty (60) days and if the breaching Party
provides a plan and timeline to cure the breach, promptly commences efforts to cure the breach and diligently prosecutes such cure (it being understood that this extended period shall be unavailable for any breach regarding non-payment), or by
Customer in the event of a Persistent Supply Failure; 

  

	 	14.2.4	by either Party, immediately, if the other Party enters into administration, becomes insolvent, is dissolved or liquidated, makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or files or has filed against it,
a petition in bankruptcy or has an administrator or receiver appointed for a substantial part of its assets; 

  

	 	14.2.5	by either Party pursuant to Clause 15; or 

  

	 	14.2.6	by either Party prior to the execution of the initial Project Plan if, despite good faith efforts to agree on the initial Project Plan, the Parties have not agreed on the initial Project Plan within ninety
(90) days of the Effective Date; provided, however, that such ninety (90) day period may be extended upon mutual agreement of the Parties.

termination fees due under this Clause 14.3.2 that is replaced by a batch for the replacement project or expanded existing project shall be reduced by an amount equal to the production fees associated with such replacement batch. 

 

	 	14.3.3	Additional Consequences for Termination by Customer pursuant to Clause 14.2.3 or 14.2.4 or by either Party pursuant to Clause 14.2.5: in the event of termination by Customer in accordance with Clause 14.2.3 or 14.2.4

 evidence as Lonza reasonably can give and specifying the period for which it is estimated that
such prevention or delay will continue, Lonza shall be excused from the performance or 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 Lonza uses commercially reasonable efforts to cure or mitigate such Force Majeure and the effects thereof throughout such time. If such Force Majeure persists for a period of [...***...] months or more, either Party may terminate this
Agreement by delivering written notice to the other. 
  

	 	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

	 	16.2	 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

(i) any Affiliate of Lonza (provided that such Affiliate is of sufficient financial standing to be able to meet its obligations under the Agreement); or (ii) any Third Party in connection with the sale or transfer (by whatever method) of
all or substantially all of the assets of the business related to the Facility or providing the Services, provided, in each case, that Lonza sells, transfers or otherwise provides all necessary licenses and Intellectual Property to such assignee to

pharmaceutical or biological products on a contract basis) in connection with the sale or transfer (by whatever method) of all or substantially all of the assets of Customer, a merger, consolidation or acquisition of the Customer, or a sale or
transfer of, or grant of an exclusive license for, all or substantially all of the line of business or Product to which this Agreement relates; and (c) Lonza shall be entitled to sell, assign

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. This Agreement shall be binding on the successors
and permitted assignees of each Party. 

  

	 	16.3	Notice. All notices must be written and sent to the address of the Party first set forth above or to such other address as either Party may designate hereafter by written notice to the other Party. All notices

either Party. 

  

	 	16.6	Announcements / Press Releases. Neither Party shall make any press release or announcement regarding the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other. On execution of this
Agreement the Parties may issue a joint press release regarding the entry into this Agreement. 

  

	 	16.7	Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements with respect to the subject matter
hereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. Each Party acknowledges that an original signature or a copy
thereof transmitted by facsimile or by .pdf shall constitute an original signature for purposes of this Agreement. 

  

	 	16.8	Independent Contractors. Each Party is an independent contractor, and the relationship between the Parties shall not be deemed to constitute a partnership, joint venture, distributorship, agency,
employee-employer or similar business relationship between the Parties. Neither Party is a legal representative of the other Party; and neither Party can assume or create any obligation, representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied, on
behalf of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever. 

  
 30 

	 	16.9	Waiver. No waiver by any Party of any term, provision or condition contained in this Agreement or any Project Plan, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or
construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement or any Project Plan.

For the purposes of this definition, “control”, when used with respect to any entity, means the power to direct the management and policies of such entity, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

 

“Base Salary” means Employee’s annual base compensation in effect from time to time hereunder, exclusive of any short- or long-term incentive compensation, commissions or the value of any Benefit Plans.

 

“Base Salary Program” means the Base Salary Program of Employer, as in effect from time to time.

 

“Benefit Plans” means employee benefit programs which Employer has or will establish for health, dental, vision insurance, disability, life insurance, retirement and other benefits for its U.S.-based employees.

 

“Cause” means a termination of Employee’s employment due to one or more of the following, as determined by Employer: (a) the failure of Employee to comply with a lawful instruction of Employer so long as the instruction is consistent with the scope and responsibilities of Employee’s position after there has been delivered to the Employee a written demand for performance from Employer and Employee has not corrected such failure within thirty (30) days of such written

demand; (b) Employee's failure or refusal to perform according to, or to comply with, the material policies, procedures or practices established by Employer (including but not limited to, any policies, procedures, practices or agreements related to confidentiality, proprietary information, trade secrets, corporate governance, conflicts of interest, and code of conduct); (c) Employee's commission of or participation in a material fraud or act of dishonesty against Employer; or (d) Employee's conviction of, or the entering of a guilty plea or a plea of "no contest" with respect to (i) a felony involving fraud, dishonesty or an act of moral turpitude or (ii) other crime, provided that with respect to such other crime, the crime has had or will have a material detrimental effect on TGH’s or an Affiliate’s business or reputation.

of the Effective Date shall be carried forward under this Agreement.  Employee shall not accrue vacation leave in excess of the amount allowed under Employer’s standard vacation policy for U.S.-based employees, as it exists from time to time.  Upon termination of employment for whatever reason, Employee shall receive the economic value of Employee's accrued but unused vacation leave, which value shall be calculated using only Employee’s then current Base Salary.

 

(e)Employee shall also be entitled to fully participate in other Benefit Plans established for Employer’s U.S.-based employees.  The extent of Employee's participation in or coverage by any such Benefit Plans shall be determined by Employer, but in no case shall be less than the participation and/or coverage provided to other officers and senior executives of Employer or its Affiliates.

Employee shall be responsible for any taxes due related to the receipt of any of the above items of compensation and benefits from Employer.  Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that Employer will not compensate Employee for any such taxes.

5.Exclusivity of Services:  Employee agrees to devote Employee’s full-time and exclusive services (except for attention to personal interests outside normal office hours) to Employer and its Affiliates.  Any exception to this must be approved in writing by Employer, provided however, that Employer acknowledges that Employee has disclosed Employee’s outside interests as of the Effective Date and Employer has consented to such interests.

 

6.Conflict of Interest and Non-Competition:  During Employee's employment hereunder, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, either individually or as an employee, agent, partner, shareholder, consultant, or in any other capacity, participate, engage in, or have any financial or other interest in any business which is competitive in any manner whatsoever with any business in which Employer, any of its Affiliates, or the successors or assigns of Employer and its Affiliates are now or may hereafter become engaged.  This prohibition shall not include ownership by Employee of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any publicly-

traded corporation, provided that Employee does not otherwise participate in that corporation as a director, officer, or in any other capacity.

 

7.Confidential Information:  Employee realizes that during the course of Employee’s employment, Employee will produce and/or have access to Confidential Information.  The Parties agree that, as between them, the Confidential Information contains important, material and confidential trade secrets and affects the successful conduct of the business and goodwill of Employer and its Affiliates.  The Parties further agree that any breach of any term of this Clause is a material breach of this Agreement.  During or subsequent to Employee's employment by Employer, Employee shall hold in confidence and shall not directly or indirectly disclose, use, copy or make lists of any such Confidential Information, except to the extent authorized in writing by Employer or an Affiliate or where Employee is compelled or required to do so in a Court of Law or in conjunction with any legal proceedings.  All Confidential Information relating to the business of Employer and its Affiliates, which Employee shall prepare, use or come into contact with shall be and remain the sole property of Employer and its Affiliates, shall not be removed by Employee from the premises of Employer or its Affiliates without the prior consent of Employer or the relevant Affiliate, except in the normal course of carrying out Employee's responsibilities, and shall be promptly returned by Employee to Employer or the relevant Affiliate upon any termination of this Agreement.

 

8.Termination:

 

(a)With or Without Cause:  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, either party may terminate this Agreement and Employee’s employment at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice except as in Clause 8(c) below.

(i)A prorated incentive award based on the percentage of the STIP year over which Employee was employed by Employer.  Such percentage will be applied to the bonus amount that would have been payable to Employee based on actual achievement of the applicable corporate performance criteria had Employee remained employed through the date incentive awards under the STIP are payable to employees generally (the “STIP Payment Date”).  The prorated incentive award will be paid to Employee’s beneficiary on the STIP Payment Date, plus

10.Retirement: In the event Employee terminates employment pursuant to Clause 8(a) due to Retirement, then, subject to Clause 11 below and Employee’s continued compliance with Clause 16, Employee shall be entitled to receive:

 

(a)A lump sum severance payment equal to one month of Employee’s Base Salary in effect as of the Termination Date, subject to a minimum amount of $ 3,500 and maximum amount of $10,000 plus

hereto, benefits will commence or be provided once the Release becomes effective and irrevocable.

 

12.Excise Taxes:  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any payments or benefits paid or payable hereunder or otherwise to Employee (the “Payments") would (a) constitute “parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (b) but for this sentence, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax"), then such Payments will be reduced to be equal to the Reduced Amount (as defined below) if and to the extent that a reduction in the Payments would result in Employee retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax), than if Employee received the entire amount of such Payments in accordance with their existing terms.  The “Reduced Amount" will be the largest portion of the Payments that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax.  If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments" is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in a manner necessary to provide Employee with the greatest economic benefit.  If more than one manner of reduction of payments or benefits necessary to arrive at the Reduced Amount yields the greatest economic benefit, the payments and benefits shall be reduced pro rata.  Employee may not exercise any discretion with respect to the ordering of any reductions of payments or benefits under this Clause 12.  Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Clause 12 shall be made in writing by Employer’s or an Affiliate’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants"), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employer and Employee for all purposes.

Employer shall bear all costs incurred for and by the Accountants in connection with any calculations or determinations contemplated by this Clause 12.

Nothing in Clause 14 below shall limit the Employer from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for the equitable relief noted in this Clause to which the Employer may be entitled without reference to an arbitrator for any decision whatsoever under Clause 14.

14.Arbitration:  All disputes concerning the meaning or effect of this Agreement and all disputes arising under this Agreement (except those arising under Clause 13 above), including but not limited to all claims of discrimination based on age, race, creed, color, sex, national origin, disability, gender preference or any other claim of discrimination arising under any state or federal law, including, but not limited to the federal Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, shall be subject to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Code of Civil Procedure of the State of California or under such other procedures as the Parties may hereafter agree to in writing.

 

15.Return of Information:  In the event of termination of Employee's employment for any reason, Employee shall immediately deliver to Employer or the relevant Affiliate all originals and copies in Employee's custody or control of any and all Confidential Information, equipment, and written materials obtained by Employee from Employer, any Affiliate of Employer or any representative or client of Employer during the period of employment.

 

16.Post-Employment Non-Solicitation of Other Employees:  Employee agrees that for a period of one (1) year after termination of Employee's employment, Employee will not directly or indirectly solicit or otherwise discuss with any other employee of Employer or any of its Affiliates, for as long as such employee remains employed by Employer or its Affiliates, any terms or conditions relating to such employee's leaving the employ of Employer or its Affiliates.  The receipt of any benefits pursuant to Clause 9 or 10 will be subject to Employee not violating the provisions of this Clause 16.  In the event Employee breaches the provisions of Clause 16, all continuing payments and benefits to which Employee may otherwise be entitled pursuant to Clause 9 or 10 will immediately cease and Employer will be entitled to any other rights and remedies and may take any other action legally permissible as a result of breaching the provisions of Clause 16.

 

17.Representation and Warranty Regarding Prior Obligations of Confidentiality:  Employee represents and warrants that Employee's performance of all the terms of this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement previously entered into by Employee to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by Employee in confidence or in trust prior to Employee's employment by Employer.

ANNEX A

 

SECTION 409A ADDENDUM

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Employee, if any, pursuant to the Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Employee has had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  Similarly, no severance payable to Employee, if any, that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be payable until Employee has had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  Each payment and benefit payable under the Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

 

Any severance payments or benefits under the Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments will be paid or will commence on the sixtieth (60th) day following Employee’s separation from service, or, if later, such time as required by the next paragraph.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Employee’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments that would otherwise have been payable within the first six (6) months following Employee’s separation from service, will be paid on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Employee’s separation from service, but in no event later than seven months after the date of such separation from service.  All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Employee dies following Employee’s separation from service, but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Employee’s death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

 

The amount payable pursuant to Clause 10(a) of the Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of the “limited payments” exception under Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(D) of the Treasury Regulations and will not constitute a Deferred Payment unless such amount, when aggregated with any other severance payments or benefits or separation benefits subject to Section 409A, exceeds the limitation set forth therein.   Any amount paid under the Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) 

 

of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments.  Any amount paid under the Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) will not constituted Deferred Payments.  For this purpose, the “Section 409A Limit” will mean two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Employee’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to him during Employee’s taxable year preceding his taxable year of his separation from service as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code for the year in which Employee’s separation from service occurred.

 

The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply.  Employer and Employee agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to the Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Employee under Section 409A.
