address regulatory, process and technical questions as deemed appropriate by LONZA. The GTC participants, number thereof and involvement will be mutually agreed upon by LONZA and GTC in advance of the inspection. LONZA shall work with GTC in developing any observations by regulatory authorities related to any pre-approval inspection. The wording and submission of final responses relating solely to the GTC Product is the sole responsibility of GTC, in consultation with LONZA. The wording and submission of final responses regarding LONZA’s premises and operation shall be the final responsibility of LONZA.

2.9 Non-Conforming GTC Product. GTC will test or cause to be tested the GTC Product in accordance with GTC customary procedures within ninety (90) days after receipt (the “Non-Conforming Notice Period”) and/or review or cause to be reviewed Batch Records pertaining to production of GTC Product, Certificates of Analysis, Product Release documentation and Quality Control data at a location designated by GTC. GTC shall have the right to reject any shipment of GTC Product received by it that does not meet the Product Specifications. All such claims must be made by GTC in writing and received by LONZA within the Non-Conforming Notice Period, and shall be accompanied by a report of the findings or final analysis (including a sample from the batch of the GTC Product analyzed) of the GTC Product in question made by the quality control staff of GTC, or its designee, using the applicable testing methods. If, after LONZA’s analysis of the GTC Product sample, LONZA confirms non-conformity and it is mutually agreed to by LONZA & GTC that the nonconformity was due to (a) LONZA’s gross negligence or intentional or willful misconduct, or (b) LONZA’s failure to follow the approved Production Record, the methods and procedures set forth in Exhibit A or the Quality Agreement during the production of the GTC Product in question, and GTC’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the replacement of the non-conforming shipment as soon as practicable with conforming GTC Product, at no additional cost to GTC (for the avoidance of doubt GTC shall not be responsible for the additional costs associated with replacement of such non-conforming product). Additionally, LONZA shall issue GTC a credit against the next invoice issued by LONZA for Services provided under the Agreement. This credit covers the cost of the GTC supplied materials per batch of GTC Product manufactured. The amount of the credit is calculated as follows: (a) for the first one (1) year period after the Effective Date, ************ and, (b) for each one (1) year period commencing with the first anniversary of the Effective Date, an amount equal to ************ adjusted by ************in the PPI (as defined below) between the PPI as of the Effective Date and the PPI as of the first business day following the first and each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date; as used herein, “PPI” means the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods less food and energy, not seasonally adjusted (WPUSOP3500) available on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇).]

If, after its own analysis, LONZA does not confirm non-conformity, the Parties shall agree to retest the shipment as provided by the Quality Agreement and otherwise in good faith attempt to resolve the issue. In the event that the Parties cannot resolve the issue, the Parties shall submit the disputed GTC Product to a mutually agreed independent testing laboratory for testing. That laboratory’s finding along with all other pertinent information shall be submitted to an arbitrator located in Boston, Massachusetts, with the requisite scientific background and training (the “Arbitrator”), selected jointly by LONZA and GTC, for determination of nonconformance in accordance with this Section. In no event shall LONZA have any liability for the non-conforming GTC Product unless it is determined by the Arbitrator that the nonconformance was due to (a) LONZA’s gross negligence or intentional or willful misconduct, or (b) LONZA’s failure to follow the approved Production Record, the methods and procedures set forth in Exhibit A, or the Quality Agreement during the production of the GTC


		Confidential material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omissions.

Product in question. GTC shall bear all such expenses of the independent laboratory and Arbitrator; provided, however, that if the Arbitrator determines that the non-conformance was due to LONZA’s gross negligence or intentional or willful misconduct, or LONZA’ s failure to follow the approved Production Record, the methods and procedures set forth in Exhibit A, or the Quality Agreement, then LONZA shall (i) bear such expenses of the independent laboratory and Arbitrator. use and (ii) and GTC’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the replacement of the non-conforming shipment as soon as practicable with conforming GTC Product, at no additional cost to GTC including that GTC shall not be responsible for the additional costs associated with replacement of such non-conforming shipment.

GTC shall return, or cause its designee to return, any rejected shipment to LONZA at LONZA’s expense if so instructed by LONZA and in accordance with any instructions provided by LONZA.

2.10 Project Change Order Process.

Any amendments or modifications to the services described in Exhibit A shall be set forth in writing in a Change Order mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties. Such Change Order shall be implemented as soon as commercially practicable to do so. GTC shall be responsible for costs set forth in the mutually agreed upon change order.

ARTICLE IV

SERVICE FEES

4.1 Services Fees. In consideration of LONZA’ s providing the Services, GTC agrees to pay LONZA Service Fees (“Service Fees”) in accordance with the following rate schedule:

(a) GTC shall pay US $************ per hour (the “Hourly Labor Fee”) for Full Time Employees (“FTEs”) involved in non-Suite Occupation Fee activities and/or services agreed to in a Change Order. GTC will be invoiced for such FTE costs on a monthly basis. Invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days of receipt. All Invoices shall include a description of the activities completed (with supporting documentation), the names of the individuals involved in the activities, and the amount of labor hours applied to the specific activities. Furthermore, Lonza Poject Management, Scheduling, and Pre-campaign Planning shall be included in the fixed batch cost and not invoiced as a separate service fee.

(b) GTC shall pay all LONZA incurred charges (the “Other Charges”) for all materials/consumables (including shipping charges) required for aspects of services under this Service Agreement, which are not included in the Suite Occupation Fee.

Materials/Consumables, shipping and/or downstream product contact equipment will be paid for by GTC in an amount equal to ************. GTC will be invoiced for such costs on a monthly basis. Invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days of receipt. LONZA will provide GTC with the original vendor invoices, at GTC’s request.

(i)

15 or More Batches. A fixed batch cost of $************ per batch for 15 batches or more plus a setup/changeover fee of $************ per campaign. The batch cost is calculated using the per batch cost of $************ per batch plus an equal amount per batch of the fixed setup/changeover fee of $************ divided by the number of batches. Put another way, the formula is $************, where n equals the number of Gen I batches manufactured.

For example, assuming there were 15 batches of a Gen I campaign manufactured, the per batch cost would be: $************ $************.

(ii)

14 Batches or less. Should GTC purchase less than 15 batches in a Gen I campaign, the batch cost is calculated using the per batch cost of $************ per batch plus an equal amount per batch of the fixed setup/changeover fee of $************ per campaign. Put another way, the formula is $************, where n equals the number of Gen I batches manufactured.

For example, assuming there were 10 batches of a Gen I campaign manufactured, the per batch cost would be $************.

(d) GTC shall pay LONZA GTC equipment storage fees for these days that GTC is not incurring Suite Occupation Fees while in Campaign. GTC will be charged and invoiced a monthly rate of $************ for costs associated with equipment storage.

Audit of Costs. LONZA shall maintain such books and records as necessary to establish the accuracy of the Hourly Labor Fee and Other Charges costs set forth in Section 4.1(a) and (e) above. GTC shall have the right, at GTC’s expense and no more than once per calendar year, to conduct (either itself or via a nationally recognized independent certified public accountant) a reasonable inspection of such portion of the books and records of LONZA to the extent necessary to verify the Hourly Labor Fee and Other Charges costs. In the event an audit reveals that GTC has been overcharged by more than two percent (2%), then LONZA shall reimburse GTC for all overcharged amounts.

(e) For each one (1) year period commencing with the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Fixed Batch Price shall adjusted by ************ as of the first business day following the first and each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date.

The Notice of Breach shall specify, in reasonable detail, the nature of such breach and/or default. If the Breaching Party does not remedy the breach or default within the ninety (90) days from the date of the Breaching Party’s receipt of the Notice of Breach (the “Cure Period”) , then the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Service Agreement effective immediately upon provision of further notice (the “Termination Notice”) to the Breaching Party, and following the provision of the Termination Notice, this Service Agreement and all rights, privileges and licenses granted under this Service Agreement shall automatically terminate and neither Party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Service Agreement except as may have then accrued under this Service Agreement before termination or except as otherwise provided in this Service Agreement. If, at any time before receipt of the Termination Notice, the Breaching Party has remedied the breach and/or default, this Service Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as no Notice of Breach had been given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cure Period for GTC’s failure to make any payment when due shall be ten (10) business days. If GTC fails to make such payment within such 10 day Cure Period, then GTC shall be required to pay ************.

(b) Effect of Termination for Breach. If GTC is the Breaching Party, GTC shall pay to LONZA all Service Fees invoiced by LONZA but not yet paid by GTC, plus, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a termination fee equal ************. Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice.

5.3 Termination for No Cause.

5.4 Effect of Termination for GTC’s Breach of Warranty. In the event the breach by GTC of the GTC Product Information warranty as outlined and defined in Section 8.2 reasonably results in LONZA’s inability to perform the Services as outlined in Exhibit A and LONZA terminates this Service Agreement, GTC shall pay to LONZA all Service Fees invoiced by LONZA but not yet paid by GTC, plus, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a termination fee equal to ************.

5.5 Consequences of Termination.

ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

6.1 Indemnification by GTC. GTC shall indemnify and hold harmless LONZA and its directors, officers, employees, consultants and agents from and against all suits, claims, losses, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any suit, demand or action by any third party (a “Third Party Action”) arising out of, resulting from or relating to: (a) any breach by GTC of the terms of this Service Agreement, (b) the GTC Product, or (c) any Third Party Action alleging that the GTC Product or the production of the GTC Product pursuant to the Service Agreement infringes any patent or other proprietary rights except to the extent such Third Party Action arises out of or results from the breach by LONZA of the terms of this Service Agreement, or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of LONZA. LONZA shall provide GTC with prompt notice of such Third Party Action and shall reasonably cooperate in the defense thereof.

6.2 Indemnification by LONZA. LONZA shall indemnify and hold harmless GTC and its directors, officers, employees, consultants and agents from and against any Losses in connection with any suit, demand or action by any third party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to LONZA’s breach of its representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3, except in each case to the extent that LONZA is entitled to indemnification as provided in Section 7.1 above.
