provided investigator information (name, address, phone and fax number) will be used when shipping study collection materials to investigators, as well as the construction of investigator data base information.
D.7 Terms of Project Initiation Invoicing
At the point The Sponsor asks QLAB to begin work on an individual project, Sponsor shall pay QLAB an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the applicable Budget as a project initiation payment, which project initiation payment shall be credited back to Sponsor on the final invoice. QLAB will draw from these funds in order to pay for services and related costs and expenses consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
D.8 Invoices and Billing
Laboratory services will be invoiced based on the receipt of specimens. An invoice for all visit specific specimens received during the month plus any expenses incurred will be issued to The Sponsor the following month. Payment is due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.
D.9 Test and Fee Cancellation
If some or all testing for a particular visit cannot be completed due to circumstances beyond the control of QLAB, all valid test results will be reported and the total visit fee will remain in effect. Examples of circumstances which can result in billable test cancellations would be: (1) failure to include a specimen required to complete testing for the visit, (2) specimen handling prior to courier pickup which does not meet written guidelines established by the laboratory and (3) provision of a QNS specimen for which all requested testing cannot be completed.
D.10 Clinical Trial Reconciliation
When The Sponsor informs QLAB in writing of the completion or cancellation of the clinical trial, reconciliation will be conducted. This accounting will reconcile any outstanding clinical trial-specific project initiation expenses, scheduled or unscheduled visit fees and specimen collection materials. A credit or debit invoice will be issued. Any additional charges not currently received at the time of reconciliation (ie. courier services, third party laboratory services, etc.) will be issued to The Sponsor in a separate invoice.
D.11 Cancellation of the Clinical Trial
Upon receiving written notification of early cancellation of the clinical trial, QLAB will provide The Sponsor with an accounting of all clinical trial-specific project initiation expenses, scheduled and unscheduled visit fees and unsalvageable specimen collection materials at the investigator sites. QLAB will charge 6% of the Budget as a cancellation fee. If the value of

efforts extended and supplies shipped exceeds 6% of the total Budget, an invoice will be presented for those fees.
D.12 Approval of Fee and Period in Force
Upon receiving confirmation from The Sponsor that the project has been awarded to QLAB, QLAB will implement project initiation activities as outlined previously in Sections A.2 and D.7. If there is a substantive change in the expected number of investigators, number or schedule of visits, testing requirements, anticipated commencement date, length of project or overall protocol specific database design, QLAB will revise the Budget to reflect the increase or decrease in the scope of work. Otherwise, the fees will remain in effect for 12 months from the date study kits were first forwarded to investigator sites. QLAB’s fee schedule will be subject to review on an annual basis and will be increased for the next 12 month period based upon the greater of four percent (4%) or the average percentage change in the wages/earnings survey as published in the Economist (or as reported at www.economist.com) over the preceding twelve (12) month period. In the unforeseen event of governmentally mandated changes or transportation industry regulation changes which require significant changes in the conduct of the clinical laboratory industry, QLAB will contact The Sponsor if there will be any cost impact on the study in progress. Additionally, any fuel surcharges, tariffs or import duties imposed on QLAB for courier services will be passed through to The Sponsor on the monthly invoice.
D.13 Currency Exchange
The currency to be used for invoice and payment shall be the currency stated in the Budget attached to this CCLS (the “Contracted Currency”). If a currency referenced within the Budget is replaced by the Euro or otherwise ceases to become legal tender, the applicable replacement currency will be substituted for such currency for the purposes of this clause using the conversion rate established at www.oanda.com. The Sponsor acknowledges that, due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, QLAB’s actual fees & pass-through costs may be greater or lesser than the budgeted or estimated amounts contained in this CCLS.
If QLAB incurs pass-through costs in a currency other than the Contracted Currency, then The Sponsor shall reimburse QLAB for QLAB’s actual costs in the Contracted Currency based on the Oanda foreign currency exchange rate for the applicable currencies on the last business Friday of the month.
If this CCLS involves the performance of Services by QLAB or its affiliates in any country that uses a currency other than the Contracted Currency, then the Budget for those services will be based on the local rates in the currency used by QLAB for pricing in that country, but converted to and reflected in the Contracted Currency. If the fees for Services under this CCLS exceed $200,000, and the conversion rate between the local currencies and the Contracted Currency has fluctuated more than 2% plus or minus, since the budget was prepared, QLAB may calculate a foreign currency exchange adjustment. The adjustment will be calculated every six (6) months

after the contract execution date, by comparing the foreign currency exchange rate stated in the Budget attached to this CCLS to the Oanda average rate over the preceding six (6) months. Any resulting decrease in costs will be immediately credited to The Sponsor and any resulting increase in costs will be invoiced to The Sponsor, and shall be due for settlement without delay.
D.14 Transmission of Information.
All information transmitted by QLAB pursuant to this agreement will be sent by the standard transmission method selected by QLAB (telephone, facsimile, mail, personal delivery or email). The Sponsor hereby consents and authorizes QLAB to send facsimiles relating to the Services, or relating to potential future services, to any office of The Sponsor or The Sponsor’s affiliates.
D.15 Insurance
During the term of this Agreement to cover its obligations hereunder, each party shall maintain insurance coverage as follows: 1) (a) Professional Liability for QLAB in an amount of at least US$10,000,000.00; (b) Product Liability for The Sponsor in an amount of at least US$10,000,000.00; and 2) General Liability in amounts of at least US$3,000,000.00. All insurance amounts may be obtained by full, individual primary policy amount; a primary amount of less than minimum requirement enhanced by a blanket excess umbrella policy; or a combination of either. Each party shall provide the other party with a certificate of insurance upon request. The insured shall provide the other party with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any material change, cancellation or expiration of the above-required insurance.
