Agreement:

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 
(1)
Definitions

(a)           Services.  The services provided by Clinipace to REDHILL by virtue of this Agreement, as described in article 2 of this Agreement and any other Services specified in any Attachment.

(b)           Tempo Website.  The term “Tempo Website” shall mean the web pages accessible via the Internet through which among other tools, grant applications, study forms, reports and data are made accessible to REDHILL or authorized REDHILL Designees, and through which Services are provided by Clinipace.

(c)           REDHILL Content.  The term “REDHILL Content” shall mean all information provided by REDHILL to be included on the  Website, or entered by REDHILL Designees via the  Website, including without limitation, protocol descriptions, training materials, case report forms, study data, other forms and, images, trademarks, logos, photographs, or information created by Clinipace for the  Website based on material provided by REDHILL.

(e)           Errors.  The term “Errors” shall mean any failure of the Tempo Website to conform to the “Specifications,” as defined herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any nonconformity resulting from the alteration or misuse of the Tempo Website by REDHILL or REDHILL Designees shall be not an Error.

(2)
Services.

 
(a)
The Services covered by this Agreement may include strategic planning, expert consultation, clinical trial services, statistical programming and analysis, data processing, data management, regulatory, clerical, project management, central laboratory services, preclinical services, pharmaceutical sciences services, medical device services, electronic data capture and other research and development services requested by REDHILL. Each time REDHILL wants to engage Clinipace to provide Services, a detailed description of the Services will be described in one or more statements of work (each an “Attachment”) to be executed by the parties pursuant to this Agreement  (“Attachment A-1, A-2, A-3 and so on”), which will be attached hereto and incorporated herein.  The specific terms and conditions of each engagement will be delineated in the applicable Attachment, which shall be sequentially numbered and incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and in any Attachment, the terms of the Attachment shall prevail.  For the avoidance of doubt, the mere signature of this Agreement does not result in any obligation on behalf of REDHILL to engage Clinipace to provide any Services.

 
(b)
Once the parties have agreed on the terms and conditions of an Attachment, the following shall apply to any Change Order. Any (a) meaningful change in the details of the scope of Services, even if a fixed price Attachment, or (b) meaningful change in the assumptions upon which the Attachment is based may require changes in the budget and/or time lines, and shall require a written amendment to the scope of Services (a "Change Order"). For the avoidance of doubt, any Change Order has to originate from a quantifiable change of scope of the study. A delay in study initiation will not be considered a change to the study's scope so long as Clinipace’s provision of Services has not begun. Each Change Order shall detail the requested changes to the applicable task, responsibility, duty, budget, time line or other matter.  The Change Order will become effective upon the execution of the Change Order by both parties, and will include a specified period of time (as agreed upon by the parties) within which Clinipace will implement the changes.  Both parties agree to act in good faith and promptly when considering a Change Order requested by the other party. Clinipace reserves the right to postpone effecting material changes in the Project's scope until such time as the parties agree to and execute the corresponding Change Order.  For any Change Order that affects the scope of the regulatory obligations that have been transferred to Clinipace, if any, Clinipace and REDHILL shall execute a corresponding amendment to any form documenting the transfer of regulatory responsibilities as described in 21 CFR 312.52. REDHILL shall provide all appropriate changes on the FDA 1571 form (Investigational New Drug Application) and will file such amendment where appropriate, or as required by law or regulation.

Each individual Attachment issued hereunder will start on the date executed (the project “Effective Date”) and shall terminate on the later of (i) the date final deliverables are delivered to REDHILL, or (ii) final payment is made to Clinipace by REDHILL; provided, however, that any Attachment may be terminated under the provisions thereof.  Unless the specific Attachments provide otherwise, REDHILL shall at all times be entitled to terminate the Services on a project, subject to paying the fees and costs up to the date of such termination, as well as all noncancelable expenses arising as the direct result of the Attachment of the termination thereof.

(5) 
Confidentiality.

Each party acknowledges that they may disclose confidential or proprietary information or knowledge (hereinafter the “Disclosing Party”), to the other party (hereinafter the “Receiving Party”) including, but not limited to, methods, software, product information or formulations, manufacturing information, research and studies, indications, marketing and sampling strategies, techniques and data, sales, customers, clients, personnel, patterns, compilations, survey, solicitation and advertising data, purchasing, pricing, and other financial data, or customer lists and information that (1) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not readily ascertainable by proper means, by other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and (2) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy, and other items which constitute the property of the Disclosing Party (“Trade Secrets”).  The parties agree not to divulge any Trade Secrets to third parties except as specifically required in performance of this Agreement and as approved in advance of such disclosure by the Disclosing Party.  Trade Secrets exclude (i) information which now or hereafter enters the public domain through no action on the part of the Receiving Party in violation of the terms or conditions hereof, (ii) information which the Receiving Party can demonstrate was in his possession at the time of the disclosure and was not acquired directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party on a restricted, confidential basis, (iii) information otherwise disclosed to others on an unrestricted, non-confidential basis, (iv) information that is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of, or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Trade Secrets, or (v) information which is required to be disclosed in the course of litigation or other legal or administrative proceedings or otherwise required by law; provided that in the event of a proposed disclosure under subsection (v), the Receiving Party shall give the Disclosing Party prompt notice of the pending disclosure and shall cooperate at the sole expense of the Disclosing Party, in attempts to seek an order maintaining the confidentiality of such information.  The parties acknowledge that the Trade Secrets, as they may exist from time to time, are valuable, special, and unique assets of each party’s business.  The parties will not, except as otherwise set forth herein, during or after the Term, disclose such Trade Secrets or any part thereof to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except in the limited manner authorized in this section. In addition, neither party will appropriate, disclose, remove, conceal or obliterate any trademark, patent, copyright or other proprietary rights of the other party, including Trade Secrets, without prior written consent of the owner.  The parties agree that the Trade Secrets shall be disclosed only to the designated employees, directors, officers, representatives and business associates of each party who i) “need to know such information for the purposes of performance under this Agreement” and ii) are subject to a confidentiality agreement with substantially similar terms as those set out in this Agreement.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this paragraph, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Receiving Party from disclosing, in whole or in part, such Trade Secrets, or from rendering any services to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity to whom such Trade Secrets in whole or in part, have been disclosed or are threatened to be disclosed; in this regard, the parties acknowledge that damages resulting from the breach of this Agreement may well be impossible to measure and that monetary damages will not adequately compensate the Disclosing Party for a breach of this paragraph by the Receiving Party.  Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting either party from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach, including the recovery of damages. The parties agree, upon written request, to return any Trade Secrets, business records and properties of the other party, including all documents or computer files used or prepared in connection with the Services and actions to be performed hereunder, except that one copy of such information shall be retained by the Receiving Party for archival purposes only.

Any proposed press release, announcement, disclosure, or publication, whether or not in writing, prepared by or on behalf of Clinipace as part of the Services under this Agreement or that relates to the work performed hereunder must be reviewed and approved in writing by REDHILL prior to dissemination, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Clinipace may disclose the relationship of the parties.

REDHILL Responsibilities.

In connection with Clinipace’s provision of the Services, an Attachment may specify certain tasks to be performed by REDHILL as a condition to Clinipace’s ability to perform its services in full (“REDHILL Responsibilities”).  REDHILL understands that Clinipace’s performance is dependent and conditioned upon REDHILL’s timely and effective completion of REDHILL Responsibilities and timely decisions and approvals by REDHILL.  Clinipace’s inability to perform Services pursuant to an Attachment which results from REDHILL’s failure to perform REDHILL Responsibilities shall not relieve REDHILL from its obligation to pay the Fees provided in such Attachment.

 
(a)
REDHILL shall forward to CLINIPACE in a timely manner all documents, materials and information in REDHILL's possession or control necessary for CLINIPACE to conduct the Services.  CLINIPACE shall not be liable to REDHILL nor be deemed to have breached this Agreement or any Work Order for errors, delays or other consequences arising from REDHILL's failure to timely provide documents, materials or information or to otherwise cooperate with CLINIPACE in order for CLINIPACE to timely and properly perform its obligations.  So long as Services have not begun, and the scope of the study or the scope of work undertaken by Clinipace is not increased, in the event that the FDA or similar applicable regulatory or governmental authority requires REDHILL to delay or postpone the study or any particular module therein, then REDHILL will be entitled to postpone the initiation of the study or any particular module therein without this having an impact on the fees and without requiring a Change Order. Clinipace will inform RedHill in advance of incurring any expenses which are non-cancelable.: If REDHILL delays a project after the initiation of the performance of any Services from its agreed starting date or suspends performance of a project for a period longer than ten (10) working days, then either: a) REDHILL will pay the standard daily rate of the CLINIPACE's personnel assigned to the project, based on the percentage of their time allocated to the project, for the period of the delay beginning on the eleventh working day, in order to keep the current team members; or, b) CLINIPACE may re-allocate the personnel at its discretion, and REDHILL will pay the costs of retraining new personnel. In addition, REDHILL will pay all non-cancelable costs and expenses incurred by CLINIPACE due to the delay and will adjust all timelines to reflect additional time required due to the delay.

RedHill agrees to reimburse Clinipace for pass through expenses, of the type detailed above and estimated to be approximately US $112,900.00 for the duration of the study. As a prepayment of pass through expenses, US [****] shall be due and payable, upon RedHill written confirmation of the Study enrolment, following approval of the IND/CTA. This will establish a pass-through pay-down account. Clinipace will track the disbursement of pass-through costs from the pass-through pay-down account and will invoice RedHill [****] each time the balance in the pass-through pay-down account drops below [****]. Each such invoice will have annexed to it an updated report of the pass-through pay-down account. Clinipace will track the actual pass-through costs against the estimated budget and will notify REDHILL  Clinipace invoices for pass-through expenses shall be payable by RedHill via ACH/WIRE within thirty (30) days after RedHill’s receipt of each invoice.
  
At the end of the project Clinipace will perform a final reconciliation of pass-through costs providing detailed record of each pass-through item in the pass-through pay-down account.

As a prepayment of the Investigator Grants, [****] shall be due and payable, upon initiation of patient enrollment, which is conditional upon pre-approval in writing by RedHill. This will establish a pass-through Investigator-Grants account. Clinipace will track the disbursement of pass-through Investigator-Grants and invoice RedHill US $25,000 each time the balance in the pass-through pay-down account drops below US [****]. Clinipace invoices for pass-through expenses shall be payable by RedHill via WIRE within thirty (30) days after RedHill’s receipt of each non-disputed invoice.
 
At the end of the project Clinipace will perform a final reconciliation of pass-through costs providing detailed record of each pass-through item from the pass-through pay-down account.
 
As a status update, at least once a month, Clinipace will send RedHill a detailed breakdown of both the accumulated pass-through costs and the Investigators Grants costs so (even if we the amount for invoicing hasn’t been reached).
