2.	MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY OF PRODUCT; PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES

2.1.

Scope of Agreement. This Supply Agreement covers (a) the Manufacture and supply of Supplied Product by AstraZeneca or its Affiliates to Viela, and the purchase of such Supplied Product by Viela or its Affiliates and (b) the performance by AstraZeneca or its Affiliates of the Services.

2.2.

Affiliate Orders. This Supply Agreement also allows Viela’s Affiliates to place orders for the Products from AstraZeneca. The terms of this Supply Agreement shall apply to the supply of the Products as if this Supply Agreement had been entered into directly between AstraZeneca and the relevant Viela Affiliate. Where an Order is entered into by a Viela Affiliate, any reference to Viela in this Supply Agreement will, for the purposes of that Order, be a reference to the relevant Viela Affiliate which enters into that Order. Viela shall remain liable for the acts and omissions of its Affiliates in connection with any Orders as if such Orders were its own.

2.3.

Requirements. During the Supply Term, Viela shall purchase, and AstraZeneca shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, Manufacture and supply, all of Viela’s requirements for Supplied Product in accordance with Clauses 3 and 4 for commercialization of the Supplied Product in the Territory; provided that, subject to Clause 20.1, Viela may purchase Product from a Third Party: (a) in the event that AstraZeneca is unable to supply Product in accordance with Clauses 3 and 4 due to Force Majeure, or (b) in the event of any material Shortfall or Non-Conforming Product (including any Additional Quantities, if applicable) that AstraZeneca elects not to make up or replace in accordance with Clause 10.

2.4.

Specifications; Change Control.

(a)

AstraZeneca shall Manufacture or cause its Affiliate to Manufacture each Supplied Product in accordance with all Applicable Laws (including cGMP), Regulatory Approvals, the Commercial Quality Agreement, and the Specification for such Supplied Product. Each Supplied Product provided by AstraZeneca pursuant to this Supply Agreement shall conform to the Specification for such Supplied Product at the time of delivery to the Delivery Location.

(b)

Procedures governing changes to the Specification or changes in the Manufacturing process, Manufacturing facility(ies) or Materials used by AstraZeneca to Manufacture any Supplied Product (each a “Manufacturing Change”) shall be as set out in the Commercial Quality Agreement. Any Manufacturing Change shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Quality Agreement.

(c)

If a Regulatory Authority requires any Manufacturing Change or AstraZeneca acting in good faith, determines that any Manufacturing Change is otherwise required to comply with regulatory requirements (each a “Required Manufacturing Change”), the Parties shall, each acting reasonably and in good faith, endeavor to agree promptly on an action plan to implement such change; provided that if Viela, acting in good faith, disagrees with any AstraZeneca determination that a Manufacturing Change is required, AstraZeneca shall consider Viela’s comments in good faith. The costs and expenses of implementing such Required Manufacturing Change shall be borne solely by Viela; provided that, if and to the extent such Required Manufacturing Change is being made for the benefit of Supplied Product and other products that are Manufactured by AstraZeneca then Viela shall bear an equitable proportion of such costs and expenses.

(d)

From time to time during the Supply Term, Viela may request a Manufacturing Change other than a Required Manufacturing Change and AstraZeneca will consider any such requests in good faith. If AstraZeneca provides consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), it will provide Viela with an estimate of the timeframe and costs and expenses for implementation of the change, including whether any such costs and expenses (or a portion thereof) shall be [***]. If the Manufacturing Change is implemented, unless otherwise agreed, Viela shall bear the costs and expenses of the change. Where a Manufacturing Change is required by Viela and such change results in rendering obsolete any inventory of Supplied Product or Materials used in the Manufacture of the Supplied Product, Viela shall bear the costs and expenses of such write-off (including waste disposal costs) for Supplied Product and Materials that AstraZeneca is not able to utilize elsewhere; provided that AstraZeneca will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to utilize such Materials and Viela will provide AstraZeneca with reasonable assistance in doing so.

(e)

From time to time during the Supply Term, AstraZeneca may give notice to Viela (which notice shall be delivered as promptly as reasonably practicable) that AstraZeneca intends to implement a Manufacturing Change other than a Required Manufacturing Change subject to Clause 2.4(c) or a Facility Change subject to Clause 2.4(f); provided that except as provided in this Supply Agreement or the Commercial Quality Agreement, AstraZeneca shall not implement a Manufacturing Change pursuant to this Clause 2.4(e) unless Viela has given its consent to such change (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If AstraZeneca requests such a Manufacturing Change, unless otherwise agreed, AstraZeneca shall bear the costs and expenses of AstraZeneca implementing such change and the reasonable and verifiable costs (including with respect to the establishment of comparability) incurred by Viela arising as a direct and unavoidable result of such change; provided that such costs shall not include any costs incurred by Viela with respect to supplementary regulatory filings arising from such change.

(f)

From time to time during the Supply Term, AstraZeneca may give notice to Viela that AstraZeneca intends to change the geographic location of the Manufacturing site(s) used by AstraZeneca to Manufacture a Supplied Product (a “Facility Change”). Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, such notice must be provided to Viela at least thirty six (36) months prior to the anticipated Facility Change. Any

Facility Change will be made in AstraZeneca’s sole discretion; provided that in implementing a Facility Change, AstraZeneca shall use its reasonable best efforts to minimize any adverse impact on the Biologics License Application or Regulatory Approval(s) for the Product. AstraZeneca shall be responsible for the technology transfer and other costs and expenses of AstraZeneca implementing a Facility Change and the reasonable and verifiable costs (including with respect to the establishment of comparability) incurred by Viela arising as a direct and unavoidable result of such Facility Change, in each case pursuant to this Clause 2.4(f); provided that such costs shall not include any costs incurred by Viela with respect to supplementary regulatory filings arising from such change. For the sake of clarity, a Facility Change under this Clause 2.4(f) shall not be considered a Manufacturing Change for purposes of Clause 2.4(e).

2.5.

Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, during the Supply Term, Viela may require services in connection with the activities set forth on Schedule 1 for the Product [***]. For any services that are required during the Term of this Agreement, AstraZeneca and Viela shall negotiate a services statement of work, to be executed by both Parties prior to commencement of any such services, detailing the Services to be provided and the Services Fees payable in connection with one or more such activities (each, a “Services SOW”). Upon execution of a Services SOW, AstraZeneca shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform the Services in accordance with the applicable Services SOW.

2.6.

Supply Chain Governance. The Parties will each designate an account manager (the “Account Managers”) to discuss supply issues relating to the Supplied Product and the performance of the Services.

2.7.

Performance by Affiliates. AZ shall have the right to perform all or any of its obligations under this Agreement through any of its Affiliates provided that AZ shall remain responsible for the performance of such Affiliate as if such obligations were performed by AZ itself.

3.3.

Modified Amounts. Viela shall set out its good faith estimate of its forecasted requirements for the Supplied Product on a SKU-by-SKU basis (i) with respect to Drug Substance, [***] and (ii) with respect to Drug Product, [***]. If any update or change is required to be made to such estimated quantities in any Rolling Forecast, unless AstraZeneca agrees to permit a further modification in its reasonable discretion, the quantities for the Supplied Product may only be varied, in aggregate in such period, as follows (varied quantities from the quantities for such Supplied Product for such month when it was first included in the Rolling Forecast for such period shall be collectively known as a “Modified Amount”):


	Drug Substance	Drug Product
[***] from the quantities specified for such Supplied Product for such month when it was first included in the Rolling Forecast for such period	[***]	[***]

The Existing Materials shall be made available to AstraZeneca for such use free of charge. To the extent that any Supplied Product is manufactured using Existing Materials, [***]

4.	PURCHASE ORDERS

4.1.

Purchase Orders. Viela shall, together with its quarterly Rolling Forecast, deliver to AstraZeneca a written Purchase Order in respect of each Firm Order for which Viela has not previously submitted a Purchase Order. Viela will accompany its quarterly or monthly updates of the Rolling Forecast with new Purchase Orders for each new Firm Order from the immediately preceding Firm Forecast Period. All Purchase Orders for the Products must be for at least the Minimum Order Quantity and shall only be submitted in multiples of full lot quantities. All Purchase Orders must specify the required quantity of the Products by SKU; and the requested delivery date, provided, that the date on which the Products are to be delivered is no earlier than the third month after the date on which such Purchase Order was placed.

4.2.

AstraZeneca’s Fulfillment of Purchase Orders. Provided that a Purchase Order corresponds with the Firm Order, as set out in the applicable Rolling Forecast current at the time of the Purchase Order, and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Supply Agreement, then AstraZeneca shall accept the Purchase Order and in such acceptance shall specify the estimated delivery date (which date shall fall within the delivery month requested by Viela in accordance with Clause 4.1).

4.3.

Purchase Order Acceptance and Confirmation. A Purchase Order that corresponds with the Firm Order shall be deemed accepted unless a written rejection by AstraZeneca is received by Viela within five (5) business days after delivery of the Purchase Order to AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca shall communicate its acceptance or rejection of a Purchase Order by way of email confirmation (or by such other written means as AstraZeneca may elect from time to time). Viela shall not submit any Purchase Order for quantities of Supplied Product in excess of the Firm Order or amend the quantities included in the Rolling Forecast by more than the permitted Modified Amount without AstraZeneca’s prior written consent. If AstraZeneca consents to any such increase in quantities of Supplied Product (an “Additional Quantity”) it shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to deliver such Additional Quantity. Where AstraZeneca accepts the Purchase Order, such confirmation will include the estimated delivery date; otherwise, for Purchase Orders deemed accepted, the delivery date will be one month after the delivery date for the prior Purchase Order issued by Viela. All affirmatively accepted or deemed accepted Purchase Orders shall be binding upon AstraZeneca and Viela. For clarity, AstraZeneca shall not be required to accept any Purchase Order in excess of the Firm Order amount, or that does not conform to the requirements in terms of lead time or Minimum Order Quantity (or maximum order quantity) as may be set forth in the Rolling Forecast.

4.4.

Terms and Conditions. Each Purchase Order shall be the subject of a separate contract of sale between AstraZeneca and Viela. All contracts between the Parties for the commercial supply of the Products shall be on the terms and conditions set out in this Supply Agreement (and the Commercial Quality Agreement). All other terms and conditions (including any terms and conditions which Viela purports to apply under any Purchase Order, specification or other document attached to any order form) are hereby excluded.

4.5.

Accuracy. Viela shall be responsible for ensuring that its Purchase Orders are accurate and comply with the requirements of this Supply Agreement.

4.6.

Suppliers. The Parties acknowledge and agree that AstraZeneca may use Third Party vendors in connection with the Manufacture and supply of Supplied Product under this Supply Agreement. AstraZeneca remains fully liable for its obligations, and Viela’s rights, under this Supply Agreement with respect to any act, omission, or failure under this Supply Agreement, and any applicable agreements AstraZeneca enters with such AZ Suppliers will not modify this obligation on AstraZeneca.

5.	DELIVERY

5.1.

Delivery. AstraZeneca shall deliver to Viela the Supplied Products ordered pursuant to a given Purchase Order therefor [***] with the required Certificate(s) of Analysis for the Supplied Product(s). Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Viela shall arrange for its nominated carrier to be at the relevant Delivery Location (ready for the relevant Supplied Product to be loaded on to Viela’s carrier) within two (2) business days of AstraZeneca giving it written notice that such Supplied Product is ready for loading. If for any reason Viela fails to arrange for its carrier to collect such Supplied Product from the Delivery Location within this timeframe then delivery will be deemed to have occurred and AstraZeneca may, at its option either: (a) acting as agent for Viela and at Viela’s cost and expense, arrange for a delivery company to collect such Supplied Products from the Delivery Location for delivery to any premises of Viela or (b) store the Supplied Products until Viela collects them and Viela shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, storage and insurance), and for the avoidance of doubt, all risk of loss pursuant to Clause 6..

5.2.

Delivery Date. AstraZeneca shall make Supplied Product under accepted Purchase Orders available to Viela within five (5) business days of the agreed delivery date. AstraZeneca shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Supplied Product that is caused by Force Majeure, or by Viela’s negligence or breach of this Supply Agreement, or by Viela’s failure to promptly provide AstraZeneca with adequate delivery instructions for the Supplied Product or any other relevant instruction related to the delivery of the Supplied Product.

5.3.

Liability; Credits. Any liability of AstraZeneca for failing to make the Supplied Products available for collection shall be subject to Clause 10.3. Any delay in making the Supplied Products available for collection will not entitle Viela to terminate or cancel any Purchase Order unless such delay exceeds thirty (30) business days.

5.4.

Installments. AstraZeneca may make Supplied Products available for loading on to the Viela’s carrier (as applicable) by separate installments, and each installment shall be deemed to be treated as a separate contract of sale between AstraZeneca and Viela, provided Viela has given its consent to such installments (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

5.5.

Documentation. All Supplied Products must be accompanied by the documentation specified in Schedule 2 or the Commercial Quality Agreement and any other documentation required under Applicable Law, subject to any variations that are reasonably requested by Viela to cater for the local requirements of the relevant country in which the Supplied Product is intended for sale or distribution.

5.6.

Quantity. In respect of all Purchase Orders, AstraZeneca shall be entitled to deliver quantities of Supplied Product which are plus or minus ten percent (10%) of the quantity set out in the Purchase Order and Viela shall not be entitled to reject any delivery on this basis, provided that Viela shall only be required to pay for the quantity of Supplied Product that is delivered.

5.7.

Packaging. AstraZeneca shall package the Supplied Product in accordance with its customary practices, unless otherwise specified in writing by Viela, including its customary primary packaging and an appropriate shipping container, or such other containers or packaging as the Parties may agree from time to time, and prior to shipment, AstraZeneca shall perform (or, subject to Clause 2.4, have a Third Party perform) release testing for the Supplied Product pursuant to the applicable Specification, cGMP, and the Commercial Quality Agreement. AstraZeneca shall label the Supplied Product only as necessary to identify the content of the

container in which the respective Supplied Product is supplied to Viela. Viela shall be responsible for all activities with respect to further packaging and labeling and final release of the Supplied Products for commercialization, sale and distribution in the Territory, in each case, at Viela’s cost.

6.	RISK AND TITLE

6.1.

Risk and Title. Title and risk of loss or damage to Supplied Products shall pass to Viela upon such Supplied Product being Released pursuant to the Commercial Quality Agreement and made available by AstraZeneca to Viela in accordance with Clause 5.1.

7.2.

Supply Price Changes. AstraZeneca shall, no later than at the end of the fourth quarter of each Calendar Year, provide to Viela the estimated Supply Price with respect to Firm Orders for Supplied Product to be supplied by AstraZeneca during the next Calendar Year, including assumptions relating to inflation and currency fluctuations. If requested by Viela, no more than once annually, the Parties shall meet to discuss and consult on the estimate of the Supply Price. The Supply Price initially payable for Supplied Product delivered in the next Calendar Year shall be increased or decreased in accordance with the updated estimate performed by AstraZeneca pursuant to this Clause 7.2 and the actual Supply Price shall be calculated and any adjustment made at the end of such Calendar Year in accordance with Clause 7.3.

7.3.

Reporting [***] True-Up. AstraZeneca shall, no later than at the end of the first quarter of each Calendar Year, provide Viela with a calculation of the Supply Price relating to the Supplied Products delivered in the preceding Calendar Year. If requested by Viela, the Parties shall meet to discuss and consult on [***]. [***]. Any payment pursuant to this Clause 7.3 (a “True-Up Payment”) shall be made within [***] from the date AstraZeneca provides the mutually agreed-upon calculation pursuant to this Clause 7.3 to Viela.

7.4.

Services Fees. In consideration for the performance of the Services by AstraZeneca, Viela shall pay the fees set forth in the applicable Services SOW (the “Services Fees”); provided that, where Services are to be charged on a time basis, unless otherwise agreed, the Services Fees shall be based on the FTE Rate. AstraZeneca shall also be reimbursed for any Out-of-Pocket Costs; [***]

7.5.

Currency. All amounts to be paid by Viela and AstraZeneca under this Supply Agreement shall be payable in US Dollars.

7.6.

Financial Records. AstraZeneca shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep complete and accurate financial books and records pertaining to the Manufacturing of Supplied Product, including [***], in sufficient detail to calculate and verify all amounts payable under this Supply Agreement. AstraZeneca shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, retain such books and records until the later of (a) three (3) years after the end of the period to which such books and records pertain and (b) such period as may be required by Applicable Law.

7.7.

Financial Audits. At the request of Viela, and no more frequently than once per Calendar Year, AstraZeneca shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, permit an independent auditor designated by Viela and reasonably acceptable to AstraZeneca, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to audit the books and records maintained pursuant to Clause 7.6 solely to ensure the accuracy of the calculation of the [***] Supply Price hereunder. Any such independent auditor shall be under confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those

set forth between the Parties with respect to Confidential Information disclosed by one Party to the other. The cost and expense of such audit shall be borne by Viela, unless the audit reveals, with respect to a Calendar Year, a variance of more than [***] calculated by AstraZeneca for such period, in which case AstraZeneca shall bear the cost and expense of the audit; provided, however, that the cost and expense of the first audit conducted with respect to the calculation of [***] the Supply Price shall be borne equally by the Parties. Unless disputed pursuant to Clause 7.8, if any audit concludes that a True-Up Payment is owed by AstraZeneca or Viela pursuant to Clause 7.3, the Party owing such True-Up Payment shall pay such True-Up Payment with interest from the date originally due in accordance with the interest rate set out in Clause 8.3.

7.8.

Audit Dispute. In the event of a dispute with respect to any audit under Clause 7.6, AstraZeneca and Viela shall work in good faith to resolve the disagreement. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within [***], the dispute shall be submitted for resolution to an independent registered public accounting firm jointly selected by each Party’s independent registered public accountants or to such other Person as the Parties shall mutually agree (the “Auditor”). The decision of the Auditor shall be final and the costs of such proceeding as well as the initial audit shall be borne between the Parties in such manner as the Auditor shall determine. Not later than [***] after such decision and in accordance with such decision, the Party owing a True-Up Payment shall pay such True-Up Payment, with interest from the date originally due in accordance with the interest rate set out in Clause 8.3.

8.	INVOICING AND PAYMENT

8.1.

Invoicing. All orders under this Supply Agreement shall be invoiced at the time of Release at the applicable Supply Price. Any other costs, expenses or other sums which may be chargeable by AstraZeneca under this Supply Agreement, including Services Fees and Out-of-Pocket Costs, shall be invoiced by AstraZeneca in arrears, on a monthly or quarterly basis as AstraZeneca may (in its sole discretion) decide. AstraZeneca will provide Viela with a reasonable level of supporting documentation for such amounts, and, if requested by Viela, any additional documentation reasonably required to obtain any tax-related deductions.

8.2.

Payment. Viela shall pay each invoice submitted under this Supply Agreement within[***] after Viela’s receipt of the invoice referencing and corresponding to a Purchase Order issued by Viela. The amounts payable by Viela to AstraZeneca pursuant to this Agreement (“Payments”) shall not be reduced on account of any Taxes unless required by Applicable Law. AstraZeneca alone shall be responsible for paying any and all Taxes (other than withholding Taxes required to be paid by Viela) levied on account of, or measured in whole or in part by reference to, any Payments it receives. Viela shall deduct or withhold from the Payments any Taxes that it is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold. To the extent that any such Tax is deducted or withheld, such amount shall be treated for all purposes of the Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if AstraZeneca is entitled under any applicable Tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, or recovery of, applicable withholding Tax, it shall deliver to Viela or the appropriate Governmental Authority (with the assistance of Viela to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve Viela of its obligation to withhold Tax, and Viela shall apply the reduced rate of withholding, or dispense with the withholding, as the case may be, to the extent it complies with the applicable Tax treaty. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Viela withholds any amount, it shall make timely payment to the proper Governmental Authority of the withheld amount, and send to AstraZeneca proof of such payment within [***] following that payment. All Payments are stated exclusive of Indirect

Taxes. If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any Payments, Viela shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of any such Payments following the receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by AstraZeneca in respect of such Payments, such Indirect Taxes to be payable on the due date of the payment of the Payments to which such Indirect Taxes relate. AstraZeneca shall issue its invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes.

8.3.

Failure to Timely Pay. If a Party fails to pay any amount payable under this Supply Agreement by the due date for payment, then:

(a)

interest shall accrue on that amount for the period beginning on the due date for payment and ending on the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at the rate of [***]. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of [***]; and

(b)

if amounts are payable by Viela, without prejudice to Clause 8.3(a) and subject to giving Viela [***] prior written notice of its intention to do so, AstraZeneca shall be entitled to suspend any of its obligations under this Supply Agreement until such time as any unpaid amounts have been paid in full.

Confidentiality.

(a)

At all times during the Supply Term and, for [***] each Party shall and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to, keep confidential and not publish or otherwise disclose to a Third Party and not use, directly or indirectly, for any purpose, any Confidential Information furnished or otherwise made known to it, directly or indirectly, by the other Party, except to the extent such disclosure or use is expressly permitted by the terms of this Supply Agreement; provided that with respect to any MedImmune Manufacturing Technology, including CMC Data provided to Viela pursuant to Clause 13.8, if any, the foregoing confidentiality obligation shall survive indefinitely. “Confidential Information” means any technical, business or other information provided by or on behalf of one Party to the other Party in connection with this Supply Agreement, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Date, including information relating to the terms and conditions of this Supply Agreement (subject to Clause 13.3), information relating to the Supplied Product or Services, or the scientific, regulatory or business affairs or other activities of either Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the confidentiality and non-use obligations under this Clause 13.1 with respect to any Confidential Information shall not include any information that:

(i)

is or hereafter becomes part of the public domain by public use, publication, general knowledge or the like through no breach of this Supply Agreement by the receiving Party (or its Affiliates or permitted representatives);

(ii)

can be demonstrated by documentation or other competent proof to have been in the receiving Party’s (or its Affiliates’) possession prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party without any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information;

(iii)

is subsequently received by the receiving Party from a Third Party who is not bound by any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information;

(iv)

has been published by a Third Party or otherwise enters the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party in breach of this Supply Agreement; or

(v)

can be demonstrated by documentation or other competent evidence to have been independently developed by or for the receiving Party without reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

(b)

Specific aspects or details of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because the Confidential Information is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party. Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party unless the combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.

(c)

For clarity, (i) except to the extent assigned to Viela pursuant to the APA, Confidential Information of AstraZeneca or its Affiliates known to employees of Viela prior to the Effective Date shall remain AstraZeneca Confidential Information and shall be deemed to have been disclosed to Viela subject to obligations of confidentiality; and (ii) even if known to any such employee, Viela shall not use or disclose any MedImmune Manufacturing Technology except as provided in Clause 13.8.

13.2.

Permitted Disclosure. Notwithstanding Clause 13.1, but in each case ((a) through (d)) subject to Clause 13.8 (MedImmune Manufacturing Technology) and Clause 20.2 (Technology Transfer):

(a)

each Party may disclose all or any part of the other Party’s Confidential Information to its Affiliates, and to its and its Affiliates’ respective Personnel, financial and legal advisors, investors and suppliers (“Representatives”); provided, however, that such Party ensures that such Representatives comply mutatis mutandis with the obligations imposed on such Party under this Clause 13 and such Party shall be liable for any breach of such obligations by its Representatives. Each Party will disclose Confidential Information received from the other Party only to those of its Representatives who have a need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose carrying out its obligations or exercising its rights under this Supply Agreement or, with respect to disclosures to financial advisors and investors, as provided in Clause 13.2(b), and in any case only to the extent required for the permitted purpose. For example, disclosure of expenses on a profit and loss basis would not require disclosure of the actual Supply Price, the terms of Clause 7.1 or any details[***];

(b)

Viela may disclose AstraZeneca’s Confidential Information to financial advisors and investors of Viela for financing purposes only (e.g. for clinical trials), provided that AstraZeneca has given its prior written consent to the form and content of such proposed disclosure (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Following approval of such disclosure document by AstraZeneca, subject to Clause 13.2(a), Viela may disclose the information contained in such document to financial advisors, investors and potential investors for such purpose without the need for further approval by AstraZeneca;

(a)

Viela may disclose AstraZeneca’s Confidential Information set forth on Schedule 5 (which Schedule shall be updated by mutual written agreement of the Parties prior to each proposed disclosure of such Confidential Information by Viela) to its commercialization partners and potential commercialization partners who are subject to obligations of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information at least as stringent as those set forth in this Agreement (which may include, at AstraZeneca’s sole option, execution by such third party of additional confidentiality agreements), provided that AstraZeneca has given its prior written consent to the form and content of such proposed disclosure;

(b)

each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is (i) required to be made in response to a valid order of a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction; or (ii) is otherwise required by Applicable Law; provided that the Party requested or required to disclose such Confidential Information shall first promptly notify the other Party in writing in a timely manner so that such other Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in such other Party’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Supply Agreement as to their own Confidential Information. Each Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with any reasonable actions to be taken for the foregoing purpose. In any event, the Party requested or required to disclose such Confidential Information may furnish it as required by such valid court or governmental order or Applicable Law (subject to any such protective order or other appropriate remedy) without liability hereunder; provided, that such Party furnishes only that portion of the Confidential Information which such Party is advised by an opinion of its counsel is legally required, and such Party exercises reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that a protective order or other comparable confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information; and

(c)

each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to any Governmental Authority or Regulatory Authority to the extent necessary to obtain the approval of any such Governmental Authority or Regulatory Authority to Manufacture and supply any Supplied Product or perform any Services pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Supply Agreement; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information.

(d)

For clarity, MedImmune Manufacturing Technology will only be disclosed to Viela in accordance with Clause 13.8 and, notwithstanding this Clause 13.2, shall only be disclosed by Viela as expressly permitted by Clause 13.8.

13.3.

Press Releases; Public Announcements. Except as provided in the APA, Viela and AstraZeneca agree not to issue any press releases or public announcements concerning this Supply Agreement (and to ensure that their respective Affiliates do not do so) without the prior written consent of the other Party to the form, timing and content of any such release or announcement, except as required by Applicable Laws, including disclosure required by any securities exchange.

13.4.

Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges that damages resulting from disclosure of Confidential Information not permitted hereby may be an insufficient remedy and that in the event of any such disclosure or any indication of an intent to disclose such information, the other Party shall be entitled to seek, by way of private litigation, injunctive relief or other equitable relief in addition to any and all remedies available at law or in equity.

13.5.

Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Subject to Clause 13.6, on expiry or termination of this Supply Agreement except as provided to Viela under Clause 20.2 (Technology Transfer) and subject to an on-going license, or at any time at the disclosing Party’s request, the receiving Party shall return to the disclosing Party all copies containing Confidential Information of the disclosing Party or, at the disclosing Party’s option, destroy all copies of such Confidential Information. The return or destruction of the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will not affect the receiving Party’s obligation to observe the confidentiality and non-use restrictions in respect of that Confidential Information set out in this Supply Agreement.

13.6.

Permitted Retention of Confidential Information. Each Party may keep one (1) copy of Confidential Information for evidence purposes at a secure place subject to the confidentiality and non-use obligations provided in this Clause 13. The aforementioned return and destruction obligation shall not apply to electronic copies of Confidential Information which are rightfully contained in computers, word processors, communication systems and system-backup media (collectively “IT Media”) which do not need to be destroyed or returned, provided that such IT Media are: (a) overwritten in the ordinary course of their reuse; or (b) at all times maintained in confidence and not readily accessible and the receiving Party shall treat such copies as confidential in accordance with this Clause 13.

13.7.

Intellectual Property.

(a)

Intellectual Property Rights arising in connection with the activities undertaken pursuant to this Supply Agreement (“Arising IPR”) shall be owned according to inventorship; provided that to the extent that any Arising IPR conceived, developed or generated by AstraZeneca or an Affiliate of AstraZeneca relates exclusively to the Product, such Arising IPR will be owned by Viela (“New Viela IPR”). AstraZeneca shall promptly disclose to Viela all Know-How that relates exclusively to the Product, and Viela shall have the sole discretion in pursuing Patents or other intellectual property rights protection for such Know-How. AstraZeneca hereby assigns to Viela all right, title and interest of AstraZeneca in any New Viela IPR.

(b)

All Background IPR of AstraZeneca or its Affiliates shall remain vested in and the exclusive property of AstraZeneca, its Affiliates or its licensors, as applicable. With the exception of New Viela IPR, all Arising IPR conceived, developed or generated by AstraZeneca or an Affiliate of AstraZeneca will be owned by AstraZeneca.

(c)

Viela, on behalf of itself or its Affiliates, hereby grants to AstraZeneca and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable license and a right of reference and use under Viela IP, with the right to grant further licenses and sublicenses or rights of reference and use to any Affiliate, AZ Supplier or subcontractor, to the extent necessary during the Supply Term for AstraZeneca and its Affiliates to perform their obligations hereunder.

13.8.

MedImmune Manufacturing Technology. Notwithstanding anything in this Supply Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall AstraZeneca be obligated to disclose any MedImmune Manufacturing Technology to Viela, except as provided in this Clause 13.8. During the Supply Term, upon Viela’s reasonable request, and at Viela’s sole cost and expense, AstraZeneca shall provide Viela one or more letters providing Viela a right of reference to the relevant filing with a Regulatory Authority, or shall otherwise provide Viela via such other methods as may be available, to allow Viela to reference with the applicable Regulatory Authority the relevant CMC Data for the Product solely to the extent necessary for Viela to obtain or maintain Regulatory Approval for the Product. Such other methods may entail AstraZeneca providing such CMC Data directly to such Regulatory Authority (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) or, at AstraZeneca’s sole election, directly to Viela; provided that Viela shall permit AstraZeneca to seek any and all measures available to protect the confidentiality of and AstraZeneca’s interests in and to such CMC Data, including, if such information is provided directly to Viela, restricting access to such CMC Data through a secure data room or portal to specified members of Viela’s regulatory affairs and quality assurance departments who need to know such CMC Data in order to prepare, submit, obtain, or maintain a BLA or Regulatory Approval for the Product and who have entered into confidentiality agreements with Viela and/or AstraZeneca in a form reasonably acceptable to AstraZeneca, and Viela shall provide full cooperation and assistance to AstraZeneca in seeking to obtain such protection. If required by AstraZeneca, the cover letter for any Regulatory Approval application submitted by Viela in connection with this Supply

Agreement shall instruct the applicable Regulatory Authority to direct any questions with respect to the CMC Data for the Product directly to AstraZeneca. If, in connection with obtaining or maintaining any Regulatory Approval for the Product, Viela receives any question from a Regulatory Authority with respect to the CMC Data for the Product or otherwise in connection with any MedImmune Manufacturing Technology, unless AstraZeneca has specified otherwise, Viela shall not answer any such question and shall promptly forward such question to AstraZeneca and unless AstraZeneca has specified otherwise, AstraZeneca shall, where this is permissible, provide the answer to any such question directly to the applicable Regulatory Authority. For clarity, (i) if AstraZeneca provides a right of reference, or such other method for Viela to utilize the CMC Data other than providing such CMC Data directly to specified personnel at Viela, such reference or other method shall not entitle Viela to view, access, or otherwise obtain such CMC Data or any other MedImmune Manufacturing Technology; and (ii) to the extent that MedImmune Manufacturing Technology is disclosed pursuant to this Clause 13.8, it may not be further disclosed within Viela, to an Affiliate or to any Third Party except to:

(a)

a Regulatory Authority pursuant to this Clause 13.8 to the extent necessary to obtain or maintain a Regulatory Approval for the Product; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such MedImmune Manufacturing Technology and Viela shall not disclose any MedImmune Manufacturing Technology to any Regulatory Authority or answer any query raised by a Regulatory Authority with respect to MedImmune Manufacturing Technology, unless Viela has provided a copy of the query (or other explanation of the need to disclose) and proposed disclosure or response to AstraZeneca and AstraZeneca has given its written consent to such proposed disclosure or response (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); or

(b)

the extent required pursuant to Clause 13.2(b), as provided therein.

(C)

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS SUPPLY AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS CLAUSE 13.8, VIELA SHALL NOT USE OR DISCLOSE MEDIMMUNE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY FOR ANY PURPOSE.
