In the course of performing its obligations under this Agreement, OXB shall not employ or use the services of any person that has been debarred, for example as under Subsection (a) or (b) of Section 306 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 335a) or any comparable provision of any other applicable laws. OXB shall notify Client immediately in the event that OXB becomes aware of such debarment or threatened debarment of any of its employees engaged in any Manufacturing relating to the Vectors.

3.3 Quality Agreement. Prior to Manufacture of the first CGMP Batch, the Parties will negotiate and enter into a detailed document specifying the quality and regulatory procedures and responsibilities of the Parties with respect to the Manufacture and Delivery of CGMP-grade Vector (such executed document, a “Quality Agreement”). In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of the Quality Agreement, the Quality Agreement shall prevail solely with respect to quality terms, including audit terms, and the terms of this Agreement will prevail with respect to all other terms.

(a) Upon signature of this Agreement by both Parties, Client shall pay to OXB (within [***] of receipt of an invoice from OXB) the Manufacturing Slot Deposit (in accordance with Schedule 1) for all Manufacturing Slots identified in the Scope of Work. Upon signature of the applicable Scope of Work or Work Order by both Parties, OXB will invoice Client for all Manufacturing Slot Deposits set out of any new Scope of Work or Work Order. Any Manufacturing Slots identified in a Scope of Work, or signed Work Order shall be binding on both Parties unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties in such Scope of Work or Work Order.

For any Manufacturing Slots where Client has paid the Manufacturing Slot Deposit (and Client has not cancelled the Manufacturing Slot), OXB shall maintain and hold available such Manufacturing Slot for Client, and shall not utilize such Manufacturing Slot for any other purpose other than for Client.

(b) In the event Client wishes to procure additional Manufacturing Slots it will inform OXB and pursuant to Clause 3.1, OXB will provide a draft Work Order setting out the anticipated IM Date and the applicable Batch Fee. Upon signature of an agreed Work Order OXB shall invoice Client for the applicable deposit for such Manufacturing Slot. The Work Order shall be binding on both Parties upon signature by both Parties.

5.2 Rescheduling of Manufacturing Slots. If there is a change to project timelines which affects any reserved Manufacturing Slots, Client and OXB will, acting reasonably and in good faith, seek to agree the rescheduling of such Manufacturing Slots. If the Parties agree to reschedule a Manufacturing Slot, OXB will issue a Change Order setting out the rescheduled Manufacturing Slots, and such Change Order shall be signed by both Parties. Upon signature of the Change Order by both Parties the rescheduled Manufacturing Slot will be binding on both Parties.

5.3 Delay.

20

CONFIDENTIAL

only come into effect only for Batches scheduled after OXB has Manufactured and Delivered at least one (1) Batch.

(c) Upon notification by OXB pursuant to clause 5.3(a), or in the event that OXB otherwise fails to deliver any Batch within [***] (or such other period as is agreed in the Work Order), OXB shall promptly conduct a thorough investigation and root cause analysis of the reasons for the delay, and shall report its findings (together with supporting records) to Client. Following such report, the Steering Committee shall meet in accordance with clause 2.2(e) to discuss in good faith the issue and appropriate remedial actions (which may include an appropriate reduction in charges for the Batch and/or a credit note for future Batches or Services), and agree on revised timelines for Delivery of the Batch.

5.4 Rolling [***] Forecast. Within [***] after the Effective Date, Client shall issue a non-binding forecast indicating the number of Manufacturing Slots it anticipates it will require in the following [***] (“Indicative Forecast”).

(a) Client terminates the Agreement or any Work Package for any reason other than in accordance with clause 17.3(a); and/or

(b) Client cancels any Manufacturing Slot (other than pursuant to clause 17.3(a) or clause 5.3(b)); or

(c) the project timeline is changed and any Manufacturing Slots are re-scheduled by agreement of the Parties in accordance with clause 5.2 above (a “Postponement”); but, excluding Manufacturing Slots which are re-scheduled solely as a result of a change to the project timeline caused by an act or omission of OXB which does not meet the standard of skill and care that would reasonably be expected of a reasonable contract manufacturing organization skilled in the art, facility or equipment malfunction within the reasonable control of OXB, or OXB’s negligence, wilful misconduct or breach of this Agreement;

then Client will notify OXB in writing as soon as possible and Client may, at OXB’s sole discretion, be charged the Charges In Event of Cancellation in accordance with clause 7.5 in addition to the non-refundable Manufacturing Slot Deposit. [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall not reduce Client’s liability for the cost of Components as set forth in clause 7.5.
