Article I.

Definitions

The following capitalized terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person. For purposes of this definition, “control” means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities or general partnership or managing member interests, by contract or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Person shall be deemed to control any other Person in which it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the ownership interests.

“Commercially Reasonable Efforts” means, with respect to the efforts to be expended by a Party with respect to its obligations expressly specified in this Agreement, the reasonable, diligent, good faith efforts to accomplish such obligations as such Party would normally use to accomplish similar obligations under similar circumstances. Commercially Reasonable Efforts shall be determined on a case-by-case basis, and it is anticipated that the level of effort shall be different for different markets, and shall change over time, reflecting changes in the status of the applicable diagnostic service and the market(s) involved.

Article II.

Development of IVD Test Kits

2.01 IVD Test Kits. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company may develop, make (or have made), use and commercialize (including, selling and importing and having sold and imported) up to two IVD Test Kits. Such IVD Test Kits will be intended and labeled for use in no more than two discrete testing fields chosen by Company from the following groups: (i) one in oncology for one of the following tumor types: breast, lung, lymphoma, or melanoma; and (ii) one in transplant, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or immunology/autoimmunity; provided, however, at Company’s discretion, it may select a second oncology type for a test rather than a test from group (ii) (collectively, the fields in groups (i) and (ii) are the “Fields”). The two individual fields selected by Company from the Fields listed in (i) and (ii) are referred to as the “Selected Fields.” If Company wishes to develop (a) more than two IVD Test Kits within the Fields or (b) IVD Test Kits not in the Selected Fields, Company must negotiate new terms and conditions with Illumina for such additional IVD tests; provided, however, Illumina is under no obligation to enter into such negotiations or to complete such negotiations.

2.02 Designation of Selected Fields and IVD Test Kit; Development Plan. If Company chooses to elect two Selected Fields, it shall provide Illumina written notice of (a) the first of its chosen Selected Fields no later than 180 days, and (b) the second of its chosen Selected Fields no later than 24 months, after the Effective Date. If Company chooses to elect only one Selected Field, it must provide written notice to Illumina of its Selected Field no later than 24 months after the Effective Date. Company’s failure to timely provide written notice for either selection shall not be deemed a breach of this

Agreement, provided that Company’s failure to provide written notice to Illumina of at least one Selected Field within 24 months of the Effective Date shall forfeit Company’s right to make such selection and Illumina shall have the right to terminate the Agreement immediately. Company shall prepare and provide Illumina with a proposed Development Plan for each IVD Test Kit for each Selected Field no later than 90 days after providing notice of such chosen Selected Fields. The Development Plan shall also contain a mutually agreed to list of countries for which Company may (but is not required to) seek Regulatory Approval; provided that Company may seek Regulatory Approval in unlisted countries, but Illumina shall have no obligations with respect to Regulatory Approval efforts in such unlisted countries unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Illumina. Illumina will review such proposed Development Plan and return reasonable proposed changes no later than 30 days after receipt of the proposed Development Plan. Once the Parties agree, the Parties will sign the proposed Development Plan, whereupon the Development Plan shall be effective and incorporated in its entirety into this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of a Development Plan and this Agreement as regards a specific matter, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control unless and only to the extent an applicable Development Plan expressly states the intent of the Parties that the Development Plan supersede this Agreement with respect to that specific matter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties recognize that the Development Plan is speculative and uncertain in its nature. The Parties provide no assurance that the Development Plan will result in IVD Test Kits that are useful or capable of Regulatory Approval despite the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Accordingly, the Parties provide no warranty or assurance regarding the results of any Development Plan and they will not be in breach of this Agreement solely for any failure of the Development Plan to achieve its commercial objectives.

Term and Termination

11.01 Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date, and unless this Agreement is earlier terminated as provided under Section 11.04 below, this Agreement will expire upon the earlier of the date 5 years after the Effective Date or the date on which the latest running of the Development Plans is completed and Company’s payment of any amounts due under Sections 2.06 and 2.07 (“Term”). Notwithstanding


		21		***Confidential Treatment Requested

the expiration or any earlier termination of this Agreement, with regard to any and all Components and IVD Hardware supplied under this Agreement, the licenses granted to Company pursuant to Section 9.02 shall continue through the date on which the last of the Components purchased by Company hereunder is sold and, with respect to the sublicense granted under Section 9.02(c), until the IVD Test Kit containing such Component is used by the end user in compliance with the IVD Test Kit’s intended use, labeling, and all other restrictions on use in this Agreement.

11.02 Supply Agreement and License. Prior to the expiration of the Term, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith an agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”) whereby Illumina shall continue to supply Components for IVD Test Kits to Company on terms at least as favorable as provided in this Agreement and grant to Company such license(s) solely as are needed to continue to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, import and have imported IVD Test Kits developed under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Illumina, after the Effective Date and during the Term, discontinues the IVD Hardware or Components currently provided under this Agreement and commercializes new instruments or consumables that are suitable for use with an IVD Test Kit, the Parties will negotiate in good faith regarding whether the applicable IVD Test Kits should be reconfigured to incorporate such newly commercialized instruments and/or consumables and the terms and conditions associated with such potential reconfiguration, including, without limitation, the length of time Illumina will continue to offer the discontinued IVD Hardware and/or Components under this Agreement and the timeline for Company to reconfigure the IVD Test Kit.

11.03 Termination of a Development Plan. Company reserves the right to terminate an individual Development Plan at any time by providing Illumina with thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to that effect. In such event, during such thirty (30) day period, the Parties will agree upon and conduct an orderly wind down of any ongoing activities being performed under the relevant Development Plan. The termination of an individual Development Plan without concomitant termination of the Agreement shall not affect the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to any other Development Plan (and corresponding IVD Test Kit) that is then pending or that later may be developed pursuant to Article II and this Agreement will otherwise remain in effect excepting the terminated Development Plan.

11.04 Early Termination. Without limiting any other rights of termination expressly provided in this Agreement or under Law, this Agreement may be terminated early as follows:

(a) Breach of Provision. If a Party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receiving written notice of the breach from the other Party, or if a breach is not curable, then the non-breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or, as applicable, the Development Plan under which the material breach as occurred, with immediate effect by providing written notice of termination to the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting any

other right or remedy of Illumina, breach by Company of any term in Article IX under this Agreement, including without limitation, Company’s use of Components outside of the rights in Selected Fields expressly granted to Company under this Agreement, gives Illumina the right to seek injunctive relief and/or to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice. If this Agreement is terminated for Illumina’s uncured material breach, as upheld by a court of competent jurisdiction (including the exhaustion of all timely appeals), in addition to any other right or remedy available to Company under this Agreement or at Law or equity, Illumina must refund, on or before the date thirty days after the effective date of termination, the Initial Fee and any payments made by Company pursuant to Section 2.07 (Additional Payments).

(b) Bankruptcy and Insolvency. A Party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice, if the other Party becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, for winding up of that Party, or any proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, administrative receivership, administration liquidation or company voluntary arrangement or scheme of arrangement with its creditors that is not dismissed or set aside within 60 days. In the event of any insolvency proceeding commenced by or against Company, Illumina shall be entitled to cancel any Purchase Order then outstanding and not accept any further Purchase Order until bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is resolved.

(i) Company shall promptly notify Illumina in writing if it undergoes any Change in Control and shall provide Illumina, subject to Article XII, with the name of any parties to the transaction. Illumina shall have 30 days after receipt of notice of the consummation of the Change in Control, to deliver written notice to Company or its successor in interest terminating the Agreement due to the subject Change of Control. Failure of Illumina to timely deliver notice of termination shall be deemed a waiver of Illumina’s right to terminate the Agreement with regard to the subject Change of Control. Illumina agrees that it will not exercise of its right of termination unless (A) the Change of Control adversely affects litigation or enforcement of Illumina Intellectual Property Rights, or (B) the other party to the Change in Control transaction is a competitor of Illumina or its Affiliates in the […***…] market.

(ii) Termination pursuant to this Section 11.04(c) shall become effective on the date that is 30 days after written notice of termination by Illumina.

(iii) “Change in Control” means a change of: (A) more than fifty percent of the outstanding voting securities of Company or of all the equity holders of Company that, alone or with other equity holders, owns, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent of the equity interest of that equity holder; (B) the power or right to designate a majority of the directors of Company or of the equity holders of

(d) Termination for Convenience. Company may terminate this Agreement for its convenience with 90 days prior written notice to Illumina.

11.05 Right to Cease Delivery. In addition to any other remedies available to Illumina under this Agreement or at Law, Illumina reserves the right to cease shipping Components to Company immediately if (1) Company uses the Components outside the scope of license granted in Section 9.01 and 9.02 or as otherwise conferred to Company in accordance with this Agreement, (2) materially breaches any Company representation, warranty, covenant, or payment obligation made hereunder and fails to timely cure that material breach under Section 11.04(a), or (3) any Regulatory Authority prevents Illumina from manufacturing or supplying the Components; or prevents the sale of IVD Test Kits.

11.06 Survival of Provisions. All purchase commitments under open Purchase Orders under Section 8.03, all payment obligations, Articles I, VII (for the periods specified therein), X, XII, XIII and XIV, Sections , 5.01 (last sentence only), 6.03 (to the extent amounts are due for prior sales and to the extent that any IVD Test Kits are sold after termination or expiration), 8.07, 8.08, 9.02 (only to the extent set forth in Section 11.01), 9.03, and 9.04 and any other provisions that by their nature should survive expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement shall so survive. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at Law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement, nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.

Article XII.

Protection of Confidential Information

12.01 Confidentiality.

The occurrence of (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above shall not be deemed to grant to either Party any license or other right, express or implied, to any portion of the information or other proprietary rights of the other Party relating thereto. Notwithstanding the exceptions of this Section 12.02, any compilation of otherwise public information in a form not publicly known shall be considered Confidential Information.

12.03 Disclosures Required by Law. The Recipient Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as required by court order, operation of law, or government regulation, including in connection with submissions to regulatory

Each Party represents and warrants that neither it nor any of its employees involved in its performance under this Agreement has ever been debarred by a Regulatory Authority, including the FDA pursuant to Section 21 USC 335a. Each Party covenants that if, during the Term, it or any of its employees becomes so debarred or subject to a proceeding that could subject that Party or that employee to such debarment, that Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing thereof.

14.02 Publicity; Use of Names or Trademarks. Each Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the other Party on all press releases or other public announcements relating to this Agreement, including its existence or its terms, provided that a Party is not required to obtain prior written consent of the other Party for press releases or public disclosures that repeat information that has been previously publicly disclosed. Company and Illumina intend to announce their supply relationship in a press release and each agrees it will undertake good faith efforts to reach mutual agreement on the text for release within 30 days after the Effective Date. Neither Party shall use the name or trademarks of the other Party without the express prior written consent of the other Party.

14.03 Non-Exclusive Relationship. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that during the Term or thereafter nothing in this Agreement (except the obligation of Company to exclusively purchase Components and IVD Hardware from Illumina or its authorized distributors or resellers as set forth in Article VI) shall create any form of exclusive relationship between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this

Agreement, or prevent either Party from: (i) entering into competing business relationships with one or more third parties for the research, development and/or commercialization of any other product or service that might compete with any IVD Test Kit in any respect and/or (ii) conducting research, development and/or commercialization with respect to any product in any manner whatsoever outside the scope of this Agreement, including product that might compete with any IVD Test Kit, but in either case neither Party shall have the right to use the other Party’s Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property in such activities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company is free to independently develop, use, or commercialize nucleic acid detection assays (including nuclease-protection-based, nucleic acid sequencing assays) involving any or all of the targets in an IVD Test Kit and/or in a Selected Field or otherwise for any purpose (whether alone or in combination with any other product or service) and in collaboration with any third party (“Independent Development”); provided that, such Independent Development is expressly excluded from all rights and/or licenses granted to Company by this Agreement and all obligations of Illumina under this Agreement.

14.04 Assignment. Neither Party shall assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party; provided that, subject to Illumina’s right to terminate the Agreement set forth in Section 11.04(c), Company may assign or transfer this Agreement in connection with a Change of Control without Illumina’s consent, and Illumina may assign or transfer this Agreement without Company’s consent pursuant to a transfer of all or substantially all of its business or assets, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock or share capital, or otherwise. Any assignment or transfer of this Agreement made in contravention of the terms hereof shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.05 Legal Compliance. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or should be interpreted, to prevent either Party from complying with, or to require a Party to violate, any and all applicable Laws. Should competent legal counsel advising either Party reasonably conclude that any portion of this Agreement is or may be in violation of a change in a Law made after the Effective Date, or if any such change or proposed change would materially alter the amount or method of compensating Illumina for Components purchased by, or services performed for, Company, or would materially increase the cost of either Party’s performance hereunder, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith written modifications to this Agreement as may be necessary to establish compliance with such changes and/or to reflect applicable changes in compensation necessitated by such legal changes, with any mutually agreed upon modifications added to this Agreement by written amendment in accordance with Section 14.10 of this Agreement.

14.06 Independent Parties. Each Party hereby acknowledges that the Parties shall be independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute Company or Illumina as a partner, joint venturer, agent or other representative

of the other. Each is an independent entity retaining complete control over and complete responsibility for its own operations and employees. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant either Party any right or authority to assume or create any obligation on behalf of or in the name of the other; or to accept summons or legal process for the other; or to bind the other in any manner whatsoever.

14.07 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without regard to provisions on the conflicts of laws. The Parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of goods shall not apply to this Agreement, including any terms in Documentation.

14.08 Severability. The terms and conditions stated herein are declared to be severable. If any paragraph, provision, or clause in this Agreement shall be found or be held to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction in which this Agreement is being performed, the remainder of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable and the Parties shall use good faith to negotiate a substitute, valid and enforceable provision which most nearly effects the Parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

14.09 No Waiver; Rights and Remedies. The failure or delay of either Party to exercise any right or remedy provided herein or to require any performance of any term of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided herein, or the waiver by either Party of any breach of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent exercise or enforcement of, or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of, the same or any other term of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of each Party under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

14.10 Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement, together with its Exhibits and Development Plans, represents the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions, communications, agreements, and understandings of any kind and nature between the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that by entering into this Agreement, they do not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty of any person or entity other than as expressly set out in the Agreement. Each Party agrees that it shall have no right or remedy (other than for breach of contract) in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 14.10 shall exclude or limit liability for fraud. No amendment to this Agreement (including its Exhibits and Development Plan(s)) will be effective unless in writing and signed by both Parties. No waiver of any right, condition, or breach of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party who has the right to waive the right, condition or breach and delivered to the other Party.

14.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when duly executed by each Party hereto. Electronically transmitted signatures shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Agreement.

14.12 Illumina Affiliates; Third Party Beneficiaries. Company agrees that Illumina may delegate or subcontract any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates; provided that Illumina shall be solely responsible to Company for the performance and actions of its delegates or subcontracors. Illumina invoices and other documentation may come from an Illumina Affiliate and Company shall honor those just as if they came directly from Illumina. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

14.13 Cooperation. Illumina and Company agree to execute any instruments reasonably believed by the other Party to be necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement.

14.14 Costs. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement.

14.15 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for any failure or omission to perform or delay in the performance of this Agreement if: (a) the failure or omission arises from any cause beyond the control of the party in question; and (b) steps that could be taken to mitigate or eliminate the cause of the failure or omission were not reasonably foreseeable or were not reasonably available or commercially practicable, and the failure or omission is not caused or exacerbated by the negligence of the non-performing Party. Causes falling within clause (a) above include acts of God, fire, flood, tornado, earthquake, hurricane, lightning, any action taken by government or a regulatory authority, actual or threatened acts of war, terrorism, civil disturbance or insurrection, sabotage, labor disputes, or supply shortages (each an event of “Force Majeure”). In the event of any such delay the delivery date for performance shall be deferred for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.

14.16 Headings and Certain Rules of Construction. Sections, titles and headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not intended to affect the meaning or interpretation hereof.
