a. Amendment Process. Some changes in costs associated with clinical research are not within the control of PRA and PRA will not be responsible for any such changes. Upon identification by either Party of changes to the project assumptions or other changes to the Project Specifications, the Parties will negotiate in good faith an Amendment to accommodate increases or decreases to the Project Budget, Project Schedule, and Payment Schedule that are reasonably associated with any such adjustments. Amendments will be documented in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2. Such changes may include, but are not limited to, any of the following (in all cases, to the extent that such delays are indeed not within the control of PRA):
       
    i. delays in receiving from Sponsor technical information or Sponsor’s acceptance of documents submitted by PRA in a timely manner in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any Task Order, or any other delay on the part of Sponsor;
       
    ii. delay in receipt of regulatory approval from a regulatory agency, IRB, or Ethics Committee;
       
    iii. delay in performance by a Subcontractor not selected by PRA;
       
    iv. delay in shipment of study drug, clinical samples, and/or clinical supplies;
       
    v. delay due to changes in standard of care, clinical landscape, regulation, or changes in medical practice affecting participating sites;
       
    vi. delay by reason of force majeure as defined herein;
       
    vii. Sponsor requested changes to the Services or the Protocol;
       
    viii. delays due to questions received by either Party from regulatory agencies or ethics committees regarding submission materials that relate to characteristics of the study drug or Protocol design;
       
    ix. delays due to any changes in applicable law or regulatory environment; or
       
    x. changes for any other reason agreed upon in writing and in advance by Sponsor to be changes outside PRA control,

 

2.3 Project Staffing
     
  In performing the Services, PRA will assign personnel who are adequately trained, qualified and experienced to conduct the work as specified in a Task Order. Sponsor may make reasonable requests for replacement of assigned personnel for cause, such as unsatisfactory performance or interpersonal conflicts. PRA will promptly respond to any such request and make reasonable efforts to correct the situation in order to improve performance, or to provide a replacement, at its own expense, within a mutually agreeable timeframe.
     
    Key Personnel. PRA will assign a PRA Project Manager and other employees whose participation in a project is required for the duration of the project, who will serve as Key Personnel. For clarity, the Key Personnel are the functional team leads as determined in each Task Order. Key Personnel may include, without limitation, Lead Data Managers and Medical Monitors and Lead Biostatisticians. PRA will provide thirty (30) days notice to Sponsor, whenever possible, of any changes to the Key Personnel and PRA will make reasonable efforts to manage the impact in the Study, PRA will provide project-specific training to replacement Key Personnel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Key Personnel may not be replaced without the Sponsor’s prior written consent: PRA Project Manager (“PM”) and Clinical Team Manager (“CTM”), unless in circumstances (i) which are not within the control of PRA (as termination of the employment, sickness, absence, maternity/paternity leave of that employee, etc.,), (ii) promotion of such individual, or (iii) underutilization of such individual in connection with the Project on which such individual is assigned as a PM or CTM, the following procedure shall apply; (a) PRA will make reasonable efforts to manage the impact in the Study; (b) the situation shall be discussed in good faith between the parties to find a reasonable solution; and (c) the transition process (unless such transition process is not possible, e.g.: sickness, absence, etc.), and, in any case, the replacement shall be made in consultation and agreement with Sponsor. Sponsor’s agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Horn & Co. Final, May 3, 2018 

 

  a. Project Team. PRA will assign non-Key Personnel from one or more of its offices located worldwide, as needed to perform the Services in accordance with the Task Order. Sponsor will receive in advance the CV of the Clinical Research Associates.
     
  From time to time, PRA may assign some elements of the Services to contract employees. PRA agrees that any contract employees used to perform the Services will be adequately qualified, experienced and trained as required to perform the Services in the same manner as PRA qualifies and trains its own employees. PRA will remain responsible for satisfactory performance of all Services performed by contract employees.
     
  In the event that any unauthorized change of PM and CTM (or the procedure above was not followed when applicable), and provided such authorization was not unreasonably withheld, shall directly result in a delay or have any other direct adverse effect to the Project, then, without derogating from any other right or remedy to which Sponsor may be entitled, PRA shall reimburse BioSight for the portion of Services in failure due to such unauthorized replacement.

 

2.4 Use of Subcontractors
   
  Upon and subject to the prior written approval of the Sponsor, PRA may use Subcontractors to conduct some elements of the Services. In the event that Sponsor objects, for reasonable cause, to any such Subcontractors selected and contracted directly by PRA, PRA will replace the Subcontractor within a mutually agreeable timeframe. Sponsor may request that PRA contracts and uses a specific subcontractor, but such engagement will be subject to PRA’s written consent to engage such subcontractor. Such written consent will be subject to PRA performing the necessary activities to qualify and approve a subcontractor, and negotiate contractual terms, and will not be withheld unreasonably. PRA will be responsible and retain primary liability for the performance and agrees to manage the performance of all Subcontractors whom have been qualified, approved and contracted by PRA according to PRA SOPs. In the unlikely event that PRA is unable to consent to engage with a Sponsor requested subcontractor, PRA will work with Sponsor to find a mutually acceptable solution for the Services, and to clarify, PRA will not be responsible for the performance of such unapproved subcontractors.
   
2.5 Applicable Standards
   
  The Parties agree that PRA will provide the operational systems, processes and standard operating procedures to be used in performance of the Services unless specified otherwise in the Task Order. All Services will be conducted in accordance with GCP and applicable laws and regulations.

Horn & Co. Final, May 3, 2018 

 

2.6 Sponsor-Provided Systems
     
  In the event that Sponsor requires PRA to use Sponsor’s information systems and associated processes, Sponsor will be responsible for all costs associated with installation and operation of the systems, including costs for hardware and software licenses, and for training of PRA personnel assigned to the project in the use of Sponsor system(s)
     
3.0 PAYMENT
     
  The Parties agree that the fees and other reimbursements that PRA will receive for performing the Services hereunder will be outlined in each Task Order and are subject to the following terms and conditions.
     
3.1 Compensation for Services
     
  For Services provided, Sponsor will pay PRA in accordance with the terms in this section of the Agreement and each applicable Task Order. The timing and frequency of payments will be governed by the Payment Schedule detailed in each Task Older.
     
3.2 Pass-Through Budget
     
  a. Pass-Through Expenses. In order to provide funding for pass-through expenses, exclusive of investigator grants described below, Sponsor will make an advance payment to PRA in an amount set forth in a Task Order immediately upon execution of the Task Order. PRA will submit to Sponsor monthly invoices for amounts incurred during the relevant billing period. The advance payment will be retained by PRA until the completion of the Services, at which time a reconciliation of expenses will be done to ensure that Sponsor pays for only those expenses actually incurred. The advance payment will then be applied to the final invoice, if unpaid, and any remaining advance payment will be refunded to Sponsor within thirty (30) days from the date of the final reconciliation.
     
  b. Sponsor will reimburse all travel expenses in accordance with PRA’s applicable Travel and Expense Policy (to be provided upon request). Each invoice will include, as necessary, a summary of all pass-through expenses. Provided however, that any such expense which exceeds an amount of US$ 500 (per single expense), and was not originally included in the Task Order budget, shall be subject to the advanced written approval of the Sponsor.
     
3.3 Investigator Grants and Reconciliation.
     
  In order to provide for timely payments to Investigators, Sponsor will make an additional advance payment to PRA in an amount set forth in a Task Order immediately upon execution of a Task Order. PRA will submit to Sponsor quarterly invoices in advance for estimated amounts to be paid to Investigators to be incurred in the upcoming quarter to ensure that adequate funds are available to pay such expenses. Sponsor agrees that PRA will not make payments to Investigators without sufficient funds available. The advance payment will be retained by PRA until the completion of the Services, at which time a reconciliation of expenses will be done to ensure that Sponsor pays for only those expenses actually incurred. The advance payment will then be applied to the final invoice, if unpaid, and any remaining advance payment will be refunded to Sponsor within thirty (30) days from the date of the final reconciliation.
     
3.4 Invoices
     
  a. Invoices for Services and pass-through expenses will be submitted in accordance with the Payment Schedule associated with the relevant Task Order and will be prepared monthly, or as frequently as necessary. Any final payments specified in the Task Order will be invoiced upon completion of the project and delivery to Sponsor of any final study databases, reports or other deliverables as specified in the Project Specifications.

Horn & Co. Final, May 3, 2018 

 

  b. All invoices under this Agreement will be forwarded to the Sponsor representative designated in the relevant Task Order.
     
  c. All payments under this Agreement will be remitted to the PRA affiliate named in the Task Order, to the address and in the manner set forth in the Payment Schedule of the applicable Task Order.
     
3.5 Payment Terms
     
  Sponsor agrees to pay for Services and pass-through expenses in accordance with the Payment Schedule outlined in each Task Order or associated Amendment. Sponsor will pay for all Services, pass-through expenses and other invoiced items within thirty (30) days of the last day of the calendar month in which the Sponsor had received the respective invoice. If Sponsor notifies PRA in writing of any deficiencies in the Services during such period, Sponsor will pay for the portions of the Services that conform to the Task Order within thirty (30) days of the last day of the calendar month in which the Sponsor had received the respective invoice and PRA will correct any non-conforming Services within thirty (30) days of the notice. Upon final shipment of the corrected Services, PRA will submit the invoice for the corrected Services to Sponsor. All payments will be made in the currency noted in the Payment Schedule of the Task Order. All fees for Services and pass-through expenses are exclusive of VAT (including non- refundable VAT) or similar taxes payable by Sponsor under applicable law, including local taxes, social taxes, charges or remittance fees over the pass-through expenses, which Sponsor will pay when applicable. In the event that value added tax (VAT) must be paid by PRA on pass-through expenses and when such VAT is not recoverable by PRA because such recovery is legally impermissible based on the facts and circumstances of the engagement with the third party suppliers, or when PRA considers that it would not be commercially viable to pursue the recovery, PRA may charge such VAT to Sponsor and if Sponsor has any question about such not recoverable VAT, PRA shall provide information. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from its activities or receipt of payments under this Agreement. To the extent Sponsor is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to PRA hereunder, after exhausting available legal remedies, it shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper governmental authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to PRA an official lax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable PRA to claim such payment of taxes. PRA shall provide Sponsor any tax forms that may be reasonable necessary in order for Sponsor not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under applicable law.
     
3.6 Currency Management.
     
  The Parties agree that neither should receive a material benefit or detriment from currency exchange rate fluctuation between the currencies in which costs are incurred, and the currencies used for pricing or invoicing and payment.
     
  a. Service Fees: For service fees, the bid currencies will be tracked and managed against the contract currency established in each Task Order. On an annual basis a currency review may occur to assess the impact of currency fluctuation on the value of services using the average rate during the evaluation period as published by Oanda.com on the basis of the date of invoicing. For exchange rate fluctuations of less than 5% no adjustments will be made. Once the Parties have agreed upon the impact of any currency fluctuation PRA will issue an invoice or credit memo as appropriate. The Parties will also discuss at that time whether to amend the value of the Task Order to reflect trends in currency fluctuation.

 

7
Horn & Co. Final, May 3, 2018 

 

  b. Expenses. For pass-through expenses and investigator grants, conversion from the currency in which the payment is made to the contract currency will occur at the time the transaction is processed using daily exchange rates provided by Oanda.com. Due to investigator fee invoices being raised on a forecast of payments to be made a retrospective reconciliation will occur at the end of the project using the actual exchange rates applied.
     
  For Early Development Services, the Study budget will be agreed upon in the currency of the country where the Study will be performed, provided however, if an exchange rate fluctuation mechanism is applicable the mechanism will be set out in the Task Order.
