Client shall be responsible for the costs and fees of the Raw Materials and Client Materials for the replacement Batch as if it were the failed Batch (i.e., Client shall only be invoiced the applicable cost of the Raw

Materials and Client Materials actually used to Manufacture the conforming, cGMP compliant replacement Batch). Client shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that SBL has adequate Client Materials to Manufacture such Batches and Client’s failure to provide such Client Materials shall relieve SBL of its obligations to provide a remedy pursuant to this Section 5.8. The remedies contained in Section 5.8 of this MSA shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Client regarding a Batch Failure and a Batch Failure shall not constitute a material breach of this MSA or a PSA unless SBL fails to provide the remedies contained in this Section 5.8.

5.8.2The Parties shall conduct a root cause analysis (including an analysis of whether the Batch Failure was the fault of SBL, Client, neither or both) of the Batch Failure, which shall be done through SBL’s deviation process and which result will be reviewed and confirmed by the JSC. If either the Core Team does not agree on the Batch Failure root cause, and the JSC does not agree on the results of the Core Team’s Batch Failure root cause analysis, the Parties shall refer review of such root cause analysis to an independent mutually agreed-on laboratory or firm with international repute, acting as a neutral arbiter, to conduct a root cause analysis of the Batch Failure. The costs of the independent laboratory will be borne by the Party responsible for the Batch Failure, as determined by the independent laboratory, whose written decision shall be binding on the Parties. If the independent laboratory is paid in advance of a final written determination, the Parties shall share equally such expense, and the Party at fault shall reimburse the other Party for its share of any such expenses paid after there has been a final written determination made by the independent laboratory.

5.8.3The PSA applicable to such Product Batch Failure shall set forth responsibility among the Parties for the following costs in the event of a Batch Failure: (1) the SBL Service Fee to Manufacture the failed Batch; (2) SBL’s costs to procure the Raw Materials used in the failed Batch plus applicable SBL handling fees associated with such Raw Materials; (3) SBL handling fees associated with the applicable Client Materials used in the failed Batch; and (4) Client’s cost to procure the Client Materials (which shall not include Cell Line) used in the failed Batch which amount is to be calculated based on the actual replacement value (as opposed to the market value) of such materials as supported by reasonable documentary evidence by Client.

5.8.4In the event that any of the foregoing procedures results in a Batch being delivered in a different year than the year in which the original Batch was ordered for delivery by Client, the Service Fee for such re-Manufactured Batch shall be the Service Fee in effect in the Year in which such re-Manufactured Batch is actually delivered by SBL unless the root cause analysis determined the Batch Failure resulted from SBL Assignable Error, in which case, the Service Fee in effect at the time of the Purchase Order for the failed Batch shall apply.

5.9

Storage, Packaging and Delivery.

5.9.1Service Deliverables other than Products. Storage, packaging and delivery of the Service deliverables other than Products Manufactured hereunder shall be made in accordance with the terms of this MSA, applicable PSA, Project Plan, applicable QAG and the Applicable Laws.

(ii)

Acceptance of Product. Client will complete the Acceptance Procedure and determine the acceptability of such Product in accordance with the applicable QAG and notify SBL of the result within the latter of [*] of SBL’s release of Product or Client’s receipt of the Batch Related Documents. Upon Client’s acceptance, SBL will have no liability for such Product once entrusted to the carrier (the Parties shall use good-faith efforts to minimize the time-period between Client’s acceptance and SBL’s delivery to the carrier), except as set forth in Section 5.9.2(a)(iv) regarding Latent Defects. If Client does not reject such Product within the [*] period, the Product will be deemed to have been accepted by Client and SBL will have no liability for such Product once entrusted to the carrier (the Parties shall use good-faith efforts to minimize the time-period between Client’s acceptance and SBL’s delivery to the carrier), except (A) as set forth in Section 5.9.2(a)(iv) regarding Latent Defects or (B) due to a breach of SBL’s obligations with regard to (I) handling or storage or (II) the Specifications insofar as they relate to packaging and shipping.

(iii)

Non-Conforming. If, during the Acceptance Procedure, any Product is determined by Client or SBL as Non-Conforming Product, at the option of Client, SBL shall take Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly Manufacture replacement Product (except to the extent prohibited by cGMP or applicable QAG) and deliver to Client the quantity of the Product equivalent to the quantity of Non-Conforming Product on a date to be mutually agreed by the Parties and such replacement Batch shall be invoiced and paid for as if it were the original Non-Conforming Product. If SBL does not confirm the non-conformity, the Parties shall refer to an independent and mutually agreed-on laboratory or firm with international repute to test the disputed Product. The costs of the independent

laboratory will be borne by the Party responsible for the Batch Failure, as determined by the independent laboratory, whose written decision shall be binding on the Parties. If the independent laboratory is paid in advance of a final written determination, the Parties shall share equally such expense, and the Party at fault shall reimburse the other Party for its share of any such expenses paid after there has been a final written determination made by the independent laboratory. Section 5.9.2(a) (i) and (ii) shall apply to such replaced Product mutatis mutandis. Responsibility for the costs of such Non-Conforming Product shall be as if such Non-Conforming Product is a Batch Failure and Section 5.8.2 – 5.8.4 shall apply to such Non-Conforming Product mutatis mutandis. The remedies contained in this Section 5.9.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of client for Non- Conforming Product.

(iv)

Latent Defect. At any time after completion of review of the Batch Related Documents, if Client finds any hidden defects of the Product which could not have been reasonably discovered through the review of the Batch Related Documents (“Latent Defect”), Client shall promptly give notice of such claim in writing to SBL. In such case, if Client proves the Latent Defect is solely due to SBL Assignable Error, the above Section 5.9.2(a)(iii) and Section 13.1 shall apply. If no written claim for Latent Defect of the Product is received by SBL within [*] discovery of the Latent Defect, the Product shall be deemed as irrevocably accepted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary; such claim for Latent Defect must be made within a time period to be set forth in the applicable PSA, but in no event after the expiration date of the Product. For the avoidance of doubt, a Latent Defect is a defect in existence at the time of completion of the Acceptance Procedure.

8.2

Responsibility for Recalled Product. For a Commercial Product, either Party shall notify the other Party as soon as practicably possible if any Commercial Product is the subject of a threatened or actual recall by a Regulatory Authority, (a “Recall”) which may be attributable to any Service or Manufacture by or on behalf of SBL hereunder. Client shall be responsible for conducting all Recalls and shall make all decisions regarding, and in all events shall have sole authority for, conducting any recalls, market withdrawals or corrections with respect to the Product and SBL shall at all times exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide its assistance and cooperation to Client in conducting such Recalls to the extent the Recall arises out of SBL’s Manufacture of Product. Details regarding the roles and responsibilities of the Parties in regard to Recalls are set forth in the applicable QAG. If such Recall results solely from SBL Assignable Error, SBL shall be responsible for direct and documented out-of- pocket costs associated with such Recall subject to the limitation of liability sections of the PSA applicable to such Recalled Product and, subject to written instructions of Client to the contrary, will use

its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to replace the Recalled Products with new Products, contingent upon the receipt from Client free-of-charge of all Client Materials required for the Manufacture of the replacement Product. If SBL is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Products (except where this inability results from a failure to receive the Client Materials), then SBL [*]. In all other circumstances, Recalls will be made at Client’s cost and expense. The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall not apply to any Clinical Product and shall be Client’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to a Recall due to the delivery of Non-Conforming Product.

For the purpose of this Section, Recall expenses shall not include the [*] or [*] that is the subject of the Recall. If SBL and Client cannot agree which Party is at fault or whether a Recall was reasonably beyond the control of the Parties, then an independent third-party technical expert of international repute, acceptable to both Parties, shall be designated to make such determination. The designated technical expert shall not be an employee, consultant, officer, director or shareholder of, or otherwise associated with, or have been retained during the prior five (5) years by, or be retained during the ensuing five (5) years, by SBL, Client or their respective Affiliates. The technical expert’s determination will be, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, binding and conclusive upon the Parties. The cost of designating such technical expert shall be borne by the Party determined at fault, and if neither Party is determined to be at fault, then the cost of such technical expert shall be borne by both Parties in equal proportion.

SECTION 16 ARBITRATION

16.1

Informal Discussions. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this MSA, or the rights or obligations of the Parties hereunder, the Parties shall first try to settle their differences amicably between themselves through the Core Team and then the JSC. Thereafter, either Party may initiate informal dispute resolution on the executive level by sending written notice of the dispute to the other Party, and within thirty (30) days after such notice appropriate executives of the Parties shall meet for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations. If such representatives are unable to resolve such disputed matter within such thirty (30) day period, either Party may refer the matter by written notice to the Chief Executive Officer of the other Party, or his/her

designee, and the Chief Executive Officer of such Party, for discussion and resolution. If such individuals or their designees are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days of such written notice, and such dispute relates to a claimed breach of this MSA, a PSA or a QAG, either Party may initiate binding arbitration proceedings in accordance with the provisions of this Article 16. For the avoidance of doubt, no claim other than a claim of a breach of this Agreement shall be subject to arbitration.

16.2Arbitration. If the Parties do not fully settle a claimed breach of this MSA, a PSA or a QAG pursuant to Section 16.1, and a Party wishes to pursue the matter, each such claim shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof to enforce the arbitration award. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three neutral persons experienced in the pharmaceutical business, and within thirty (30) days after initiation of arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, United States and all proceedings and communications shall be in English. Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type of damages not measured by a Party’s direct compensatory damages, and in all cases, any decision or determination by the arbitrators shall comply with Article 14, as applicable. The Parties agree that, in the event of a good faith dispute over the nature or quality of performance under this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement until final resolution of the dispute through arbitration or other judicial determination. The Parties further agree that any payments made pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute shall be refunded if an arbitrator or court determines that such payments are not due.

16.3Costs and Fees. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators. Absent the filing of an application to correct or vacate the arbitration award as permitted by Applicable Law, each Party shall fully perform and satisfy the arbitration award within fifteen (15) days after the service of the award on such Party.

17.3

Effect of Force Majeure Event. Neither Party (the “Affected Party”) shall be liable to the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”) for failure or delay to perform its obligation under the MSA or any applicable PSA when such failure or delay is due to riots, storms, fires, explosions, floods, earthquakes, war, embargoes, blockades, insurrections, terrorism, an act of God or any other cause similar thereto which is beyond the control of the Affected Party including those affected upstream suppliers (“Force Majeure Event”).

17.10

Severability. The Parties do not intend to violate any Applicable Law.
