Provider will provide within the Facility an area or areas where the Client Materials, Product, any intermediates and components of Client Materials or Product, and any work in process are segregated and stored in accordance with the Specifications and cGMP (if applicable), and in such a way as to be able at all times during the period of the Agreement or applicable Work Order to clearly distinguish such materials from products and materials belonging to Provider, or held by it for a third party’s account. Provider will ensure that Client Materials (which are under Provider’s control), Product, any intermediates and components of Product, and any work in process are free and clear of any liens or encumbrances arising from disputes with any third party. Provider will at all times during the period of the Agreement or applicable Work Order

6

| take such measures as are required to protect the Client Materials, Product, any intermediates and components of any Client Materials or Product, and any work in process from loss, damage and theft at all stages of the Manufacturing Process. Client agrees that it is responsible to insure such items against theft, damage or loss and under no circumstances shall Provider be liable for loss or damage to any such items. The foregoing agreement does not limit the Provider’s liability for Client Materials (for clarity, such Client Materials should be specified in the applicable Work Orders) loss or damage solely resulting from Provider’s gross negligence or willful misconduct while the Services are being performed or while such Client Materials are in the Provider’s care. Provider will [***] notify Client if at any time it believes any Product or Client Materials, or any intermediates and components of any Client Materials or Product, or any work in process have been damaged, lost or stolen.

6. | RECORDS

6.1 | Storage for Records. All materials, data and documentation obtained or generated by Provider in the course of providing the Services, including all computerized records and files (“Records”), will be maintained in a secure area in accordance with industry standards and Applicable Law [***]. While it is the Parties’ intent that Provider shall retain ownership of any Provider IP or Provider Confidential Information contained in the Records, the Records with exclusion of the Provider IP and Provider Confidential Information are the sole and exclusive property of Client and Client shall be able to use the Records, unencumbered, for purposes related to the Product.

6.2 | Retention of Records. Upon termination of the applicable Work Order, Provider shall, at Client’s option, (a) destroy the Records, (b) deliver the Records to Client, or (c) retain the Records for [***] and then destroy the Records. If the Records are to be destroyed, then Provider shall give [***] notice to Client, and Client may elect during the [***] period to have the Records transferred to Client. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Records may be retained solely to the extent as required by Applicable Law or as otherwise necessary for regulatory or insurance purposes.

6.3 | Storage for Product. All the Products shall be stored in Provider’s facilities for [***] after Provider’s issuance of a Certificate of Compliance with 1) a Certificate of Analysis (if full lot release testing is performed by Provider) or 2) a Certificate of Testing (if Client requests only selected lot release testing to be performed by Provider), as applicable, and a monthly storage fee for Products shall be charged after the [***] period. Client agrees

7

| that the commercial value and/or cost of replacement or remanufacture of any Products provided to Provider for storage is a matter that, as between Client and Provider, is within the sole and exclusive knowledge of Client. Client agrees that it is responsible to insure such items against damage or loss and shall purchase appropriate insurance to cover its Products stored in Provider’s facilities. [***] Transportation of Product by Provider on behalf of Client shall be made at the sole risk and expense of Client, notwithstanding the use of any INCOTERMS delivery term on any waybill or other documentation relating to the transportation. Provider shall not be liable for the actions or omission of any delivery services or carriers or freight forwarders.

7. | INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

7.1 | Ownership

| (a) | Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) Provider has no ownership rights in any Intellectual Property that is owned by Client, or licensed by any third party to Client, or any of its Affiliates, including Product, (“Client IP”) and (ii) Client has no ownership rights in any Intellectual Property that is owned by Provider, or licensed by any third party to Provider, or any of its Affiliates (“Provider IP”).

| (b) | Provider shall ensure that each of the Personnel vests in Provider, or its applicable Affiliate, any and all rights that such person(s) might otherwise have in the Intellectual Property created or developed in connection with the provision of the Services, and all Intellectual Property relating to such inventions (excluding moral rights) (“Project IP”). Improvements, modifications, and derivatives of Client IP constitute Project IP. Provider hereby assigns and shall assign (and require its Affiliates to assign) all right, title and interest in Project IP to Client. Client will [***] , have sole control of filing and prosecuting applications for, and maintenance and enforcement of, patents for Project IP. Provider shall, [***], use [***] to assist Client to obtain, maintain and enforce the Project IP. Client shall use [***] to [***] notify Provider of any patents granted for Project IP. Provider will be responsible for all payments to be made to Personnel of Provider and its Affiliates in accordance with any Applicable Law requiring remuneration for inventions. For the avoidance of doubt, Provider has no right to file, prosecute, maintain, protect, defend, or enforce Intellectual Property claiming that covers any Product.

| (c) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, Intellectual Property created or developed in connection with the provision of the Services (i) that relates solely to Provider IP, (ii) that relates to experimental methods independent of Client IP and Project IP, or (iii) that relates to manufacturing processes generally, in each case without reliance or reference to Client IP or Project IP (collectively, “Manufacturing Improvements”) is Provider IP and not Project IP.

8

7.2 | General Licenses

| (a) | Provider acknowledges and agrees that it does not acquire a license or any other right to Client IP except for the limited purpose of carrying out its duties and obligations under this Agreement and that such limited, non-exclusive, license will expire upon the completion of such duties and obligations or the termination or expiration of this Agreement, whichever is the first to occur.

| (b) | Provider hereby grants and shall ensure that each applicable Affiliate will grant and hereby does grant, to Client and its applicable Affiliates a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-transferable (except in the case of Section 14.2) and sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license to Client and its Affiliates to use Provider IP solely to develop, Manufacture, have Manufactured, distribute, offer for sale, sell, and otherwise dispose of Product. Provider may, at its discretion, grant to Client the right to use Manufacturing Improvements under mutually satisfactory terms to be negotiated.

7.3 | Additional Licenses

In the provision of Services under this Agreement, Provider may recommend to incorporate into the process or deliverables some specific Provider IP that needs an additional license. Prior to incorporation of such IP into the process and deliverables, Provider shall submit to Client a written list of such IP, describing it in reasonable detail. Within [***] of Client’s receipt of the information noted in the preceding sentence, Client will notify Provider of its decision as to whether to incorporate such IP into the process or deliverables. Provider shall not incorporate such IP into the process or deliverables without Client’s express written consent. For any specific Provider IP included in the process or deliverables for which Provider has failed to notify Client and/or for which Client has not expressly consented to the inclusion thereof, Client’s rights to such IP shall be the same as Client’s rights in the process or deliverables. If Client agrees that some specific Provider IP may be incorporated in the process or deliverables or may be necessary for Client’s full utilization of the deliverables, both parties shall discuss in good faith regarding such license required.

7.4 | [***] License. If Client agrees to use Provider’s [***] for the manufacture of Product, then Client shall purchase from Provider a worldwide, fully paid-up, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), non-exclusive license to research, develop, make, have made, and commercialize the Product (the “License”).

9.3 | Intellectual Property Claims. Client shall defend, indemnify and hold Provider and its Related Persons harmless from and against Losses resulting from Claims to the extent arising out of or related to infringement of any third party Intellectual Property rights in connection with the Services or the Product and where the infringement would not have occurred but for Provider’s reliance upon Client’s written requirements, specifications and Client IP.

| (a) | If non-manufacturing Services, as specified in the applicable Work Order, are terminated by Provider due to Client’s material breach pursuant to Section 11.3(b), then Provider may charge Client a termination fee equal to [***] of the remaining value of such non-manufacturing Services within the Work Order as liquidated damages in connection with the redeployment of reserved Personnel and administrative overhead and costs.

| (b) | If manufacturing Services are terminated by Provider due to Client’s material uncured breach or at Client’s request, Client may be charged cancellation fees as specified in Section 12; If manufacturing Services (manufacturing run(s) including non-GMP manufacturing, GMP manufacturing, and engineering run) are terminated by Provider due to a Client request to cancel or due to a termination of the applicable Work Order by Provider because of Client’s uncured material breach pursuant to Section 11.3(b), Client shall be charged cancellation fees as specified in Section 12 below. If Client requests to 1) postpone or reschedule, or 2) materially change the production scale or batch size of, a manufacturing run originally scheduled under an executed Work Order or Change Order and/or this Agreement, the same cancellation terms in Section 12 will apply, provided that no cancellation fees will be charged in where such termination results from Provider’s breach of this Agreement, or its negligence or willful misconduct.
