Re: Side Letter to Supply Agreement

Dear Mr. Hauer:

Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Manufacturing and Supply Agreement between Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbH (“Fresenius Kabi”) and Cerus Corporation (“Cerus”), effective July 1, 2015, as amended from time to time (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this side letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

This Letter Agreement sets forth the understanding between Cerus and Fresenius regarding additional terms and conditions relating to the payment terms for production volumes from December 2019 through June 30, 2020 (the “Letter Term”).

The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, during the Letter Term, Cerus will pay for production volumes in excess of any firm purchase order set forth in the rolling forecast described in Section 2.4 of the Agreement (the “Excess Production Volume”) up to [***] within [***] after the date of Fresenius Kabi’s invoice related to the applicable Manufactured Product. The payment terms for Excess Production Volume above [***] shall be [***]; provided however, that during the Letter Term, Fresenius Kabi shall not [***] without Cerus’ prior written consent.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Letter Agreement and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement between Cerus and Fresenius Kabi with respect to the subject matter described herein. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the terms of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after the date hereof.

Please indicate your acceptance of the terms and provisions of this Letter Agreement by signing below and returning the signed copy to my attention. This Letter Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
