4.Nonconforming Product.

4.1Tests. Client and COOK will mutually agree on Bulk Drug Substance Specifications ahead of any production batch.  Within […***…] business days  following receipt by CLIENT of the Batch Documentation for a given batch of Bulk Drug Substance, CLIENT shall determine whether the production run was in compliance with CGMP and whether the Bulk Drug Substance conforms to the Bulk Drug Substance Specifications and shall notify COOK of said acceptance or non-acceptance of the Bulk Drug Substance.  If CLIENT determines, within the above time period, that the Bulk Drug Substance is non-conforming, (“Nonconforming Product”), then CLIENT shall give COOK written notice thereof as soon as practicable but in no event later than […***…] days from the date of receipt of the Batch documentation and shall, unless otherwise directed by COOK, return the Batch for further testing by COOK.  Failure to provide such written notice and return the Batch for further testing by COOK shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance by CLIENT of such Batch and an admission that the Batch meets Bulk Drug Substance Specifications.  If, after conducting its own review, COOK agrees, or it is determined pursuant to Section 4.2, that the returned Batch fails to meet the Bulk Drug Substance Specifications and, to the extent that such failure is not due (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of CLIENT or any third party after pick-up of such Batch, the provisions of Section 4.3 shall apply.  For the avoidance of doubt, where the specifications have not been agreed upon by the parties hereto, COOK shall be obligated only to use its reasonable endeavors to Produce Bulk Drug Substance that meets CGMP and draft Bulk Drug Substance Specifications.

4.2Disputes.  If there is any dispute concerning whether a Batch meets the applicable Bulk Drug Substance Specifications and/or the reasons therefore, the Parties shall designate an independent expert (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) to determine whether or not the Batch at issue meets the applicable Bulk Drug Substance Specifications.  The decision of such independent expert shall be in writing and shall be binding on both COOK and CLIENT.  The costs of such independent expert shall be borne by the Parties equally; provided, however that the Party that is determined to be incorrect in the dispute shall be responsible for all such costs and shall indemnify the prevailing Party for its share of the costs incurred.

4.3Nonconforming Product.  In the event the Product is determined to be Nonconforming Product (whether by agreement of COOK pursuant to Section 4.1 or by an independent expert pursuant to Section 4.2), all such Nonconforming Product shall be either returned to COOK or destroyed, at COOK’s option; notwithstanding, CLIENT may retain a limited amount of Nonconforming Product for archival purposes and for comparability testing.  Additionally, COOK shall re-perform its Services to replace such Nonconforming Product at its own cost and expense and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Nonconforming Product in a reasonable time given any contractually obligated capacity constraints but in no case less than […***…] from the date that the Bulk Drug Substance is determined to be nonconforming.

CLIENT shall be responsible for all costs and expenses for all materials (including without limitation, CLIENT MATERIALS) and Process Consumables utilized in replacement of Nonconforming Product except where it is determined that the failure of the nonconformance product is determined to be due to COOK’s negligence, in which case COOK shall be responsible for all costs and expenses including materials and process consumables.

4.4Remedy.  In the event that COOK is unable initiate a replacement batch run within the […***…] days provided in Section 4.3, CLIENT may request and receive a full refund of all amounts paid for the cost of the batch production run.

17

PATENT RIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

7.Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

7.1CLIENT Indemnification.  CLIENT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless COOK against any Damages, whether or not foreseeable or in the contemplation of COOK or CLIENT, that COOK may suffer as a result of any third party claims, suits or actions arising out of or incidental to (a) any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, (b) the distribution or use of the Product, except to the extent such loss, damage, costs and expenses are directly caused by COOK’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (c) product liability in respect of the Product, (d) any bodily injury arising from the Product, (e) negligence (active, passive or imputed), gross negligence or intentional acts or omissions of CLIENT in relation to the use, processing, storage or sale of the Product, or (f) any claims by third parties alleging COOK’s use of the Cell Line, CLIENT Materials, CLIENT Confidential Information, CLIENT Intellectual Property Rights or the Product Specifications infringes any rights (including, without limitation, any intellectual or other proprietary rights) of any third party (whether or not CLIENT knew or should have known about such alleged infringement) except to the extent COOK infringes any rights of any third parties by application of COOK’s existing production techniques while performing the Services unless such application or production technique has been developed specifically as part of the Services.

7.2COOK Indemnification.  COOK shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CLIENT against any Damages, whether or not foreseeable or in the contemplation of CLIENT or COOK, that CLIENT may suffer as a result of any third party claims, suits or actions arising from COOK’s breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 6.1 and 6.3, except to the extent the loss, damage, costs and expenses are a result of (a) CLIENT’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) COOK’s use of an application or production technique that has been developed as part of the Services or is provided by CLIENT, or (c) and COOK’s use of CLIENT Materials.

7.3Procedure for Indemnification.  A Party (the ���Indemnitee”) that intends to claim indemnification under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding for which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification.  The Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent the Indemnitor so desires, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of the Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnitee and any other Party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The indemnity obligations under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall not apply to

18

amounts paid in settlement of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding if such settlement is effected without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The failure to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after notice of any such claim or demand, or the commencement of any such action or other proceeding, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, shall relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 with respect thereto, but the omission so to deliver notice to the Indemnitor shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to the Indemnitee otherwise than under Sections 7.1 and 7.2.  The Indemnitor may not settle or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding that diminishes the rights or interests of the Indemnitee without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Indemnitee, its employees and agents shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding covered by this Section 7.3.

7.4Complete Indemnification.  As the Parties intend complete indemnification, all costs and expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with enforcement of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall also be reimbursed by the Indemnitor.

7.5Limitation of Liability.  IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES  (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS OR REVENUE) EVEN IF ADVISED OR AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  In addition, without prejudice or modification to the terms of Sections 7.1 and 7.3, the liability of Cook to Client, its permitted assigns and successors in interest, for any loss suffered by Client or its permitted assigns and successors in interest, arising as a direct result of a breach of this Agreement, or of any other liability, including without limitation, misrepresentation and negligence (whether active, passive or imputed), arising out of this Agreement and Services provided hereunder, including without limitation the production and/or supply of the Product and COOK’s liability under Section 7.2, shall be limited to the payment of Damages in an amount which shall not exceed the amount received by Cook from Client for Services under the Project Plan covering the Product or Services to which the claim relates during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event that constitutes the basis of the claim for Damages; provided, however, if and to the extent such Damages are caused by Cook’s willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of the Services, then the damage limitation in this Section 7.5 shall not apply.

7.6Abatement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the use of the Process is held in a suit or proceeding to infringe any intellectual property rights of a third party (or to constitute the misappropriation of a trade secret of a third party) and the use of the Process is

19

enjoined, or COOK has an objective basis (confirmed by an opinion of its legal counsel) for believing that it is likely to be found to infringe or constitute a misappropriation, or is likely to be enjoined, then COOK shall, at its option, either (a) procure the right to continue the use of the Process or (b) modify the Process so that it becomes non-infringing or no longer constitutes a misappropriation, provided that such modification has no adverse effect on CLIENT hereunder; provided, however, that if (i) and (ii) are not reasonably practicable, then COOK shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by giving CLIENT […***…] prior written notice upon which notice the provisions of Section 10.3(a) shall apply.

7.7Limitations an Essential Element of the Agreement.  The Parties are willing to enter into this Agreement only in consideration of and in reliance upon the provisions of this Agreement limiting their exposure to loss or liability.  Such provisions are an essential part of the bargain underlying this Agreement and have been reflected in the pricing and other consideration specified in this Agreement.  Both Parties understand and agree that the exclusion of warranties, limitation of liability and the limitation of remedies allocate risks between the Parties as authorized under Applicable Laws.

8.Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation of Employees.

8.4Restrictions on Soliciting or Hiring COOK Employees.  During the Term of the Agreement and for […***…] after the Agreement terminates or expires, CLIENT shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, hire, employ or attempt to solicit, hire or employ any person who is or was an employee of COOK during the Term (or the following […***…]), or in any other way directly or indirectly seek to solicit, induce, bring about, influence, promote, facilitate, or encourage any such individual to work for CLIENT or any party other than COOK.

8.6Remedies.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that neither Party shall have an adequate remedy at law for a violation of this Article 8 and therefore shall be entitled to enforce this Article 8 by temporary or permanent injunctive or mandatory relief obtained in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving Damages, posting any bond or other security, and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies which may be available to such Party at law or in equity.

8.7Use of Name.  Neither Party shall use the name or trademarks of the other Party, except to the extent that a Party is permitted to use the Confidential Information of the other Party or required to do so pursuant to this Article 8, without the prior written consent of such other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  Under no circumstances shall either Party state or imply in any promotional material, publication or other published announcement that the other Party has tested or approved any product.

12.7Attempts to Amicably Resolve Disputes.

(a)To avoid litigation and to resolve any conflicts that arise during the performance of the Services or thereafter, COOK and CLIENT agree that, prior to the commencement of litigation by either Party, the Parties shall engage in executive mediation.  Either Party may seek executive mediation by delivering a written request for such mediation to the other.  Delivery of such request may be made by hand, by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail.  The request shall be addressed to the following individuals:

COOK: Tedd M. Green, President

CLIENT: Bassil I. Dahiyat, President, & CEO

(c)If a resolution is reached, it shall be reduced to writing and shall be final and binding on the parties.

(d)If the two executives cannot reach agreement within five (5) business days of their initial meeting, unless the two executives agree to additional review time, either Party may thereafter pursue any remedy at law or in equity.

12.8Waiver.  No waiver of any rights shall be effective unless consented to in writing by the Party to be charged and the waiver of any breach or default shall not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder or any subsequent breach or default.

12.9Independent Contractors.  COOK and CLIENT each acknowledge that they shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture, agency or any type of fiduciary relationship.  Neither COOK nor CLIENT shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other Party, without the prior consent of the other Party to do so.

12.11Counterparts/Facsimile.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Facsimile signatures shall have the same force and effect as original signatures.

12.13Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be liable for failure of or delay in performing obligations set forth in this Agreement, and neither shall be deemed in breach of its obligations, if such failure or delay is due to Force Majeure.  In event of

29

Force Majeure, the Party affected thereby shall use reasonable efforts to cure or overcome the same and resume performance of its obligations hereunder.  If an event of Force Majeure continues and causes a Party to delay its performance of its obligations for more than sixty (60) days, then the other Party shall have the right upon written notice to terminate this Agreement without any liability to the other Party.

12.14Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by one Party to the other are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of Title XI of the United States Code (“Title XI”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Title XI.  During the Term of this Agreement each Party shall create and maintain current copies to the extent practicable of all such intellectual property.  If a bankruptcy proceeding is commenced by or against one Party under Title XI, the other Party shall be entitled to a copy of any and all such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and the same, if not in the possession of such other Party, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon such Party’s written request following the commencement of such bankruptcy proceeding, unless the Party subject to such bankruptcy proceeding, or its trustee or receiver, elects within thirty (30) days to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered as provided under clause (a) above, upon such other Party’s request following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such bankruptcy proceeding.  If a Party has taken possession of all applicable embodiments of the intellectual property of the other Party pursuant to this Section 12.14 and the trustee in bankruptcy of the other Party does not reject this Agreement, the Party in possession of such intellectual property shall return such embodiments upon request.  If a Party seeks or involuntarily is placed under Title XI and the trustee rejects this Agreement as contemplated under 11 U.S.C. 365(n)(1), the other Party hereby elects, pursuant to Section 365(n) of Title XI, to retain all rights granted to it under this Agreement to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
