1.2.2. Any phrase introduced by the terms "including," "include" or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding such phrase.

2. Services

2.1. Service Schedules.

2.1.1. Formation. This Agreement shall govern the relationship between Cobra and Customer with respect to Services. Services to be performed hereunder are described in detail in a document (titled a “Service Proposal”) that once signed by both Parties, shall be titled a Service Schedule and shall form part of this Agreement and is attached hereto as a schedule under Exhibit A, and shall be accompanied by a Work Order from Customer. Cobra shall be obligated to perform only those services that are described in a Service Schedule, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

2.1.2. Effect. Each Service Schedule, along with this Agreement and the Quality Agreement (where applicable for GMP Services), shall be deemed (a) the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Services described in such Service Schedule, and (b) separate and distinct from any other Service Schedule combined with this Agreement.

2.1.3. Conflicts. To the extent the terms of any Service Schedule conflict with other terms of this Agreement, such other terms of this Agreement shall control, unless the Service Schedule expressly provides otherwise. No purchase order issued by Customer shall modify or amend any terms of a Service Schedule or this Agreement. In an event of a conflict between the terms of the Quality Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail.

2.2. Subcontracting.

Cobra shall not sub-contract any Services to a third party without Customer’s prior written consent, to be provided on a case-by-case basis, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Cobra may sub-contract any Services to an Affiliate of Cobra, and Cobra shall be liable for all work sub-contracted to such Affiliates. Cobra shall ensure that any permitted subcontractor has been bound, in writing, to obligations of confidentiality and non-use of Customer’s Confidential Information that are at least as restrictive as those provided in Sections 10.1 – 10.4, prior to disclosing any such information to the subcontractor. Cobra will be liable for the acts, errors and omissions of permitted third party subcontractors in the performance of subcontracted services hereunder; provided however that under no circumstances shall Cobra’s liability for the acts, errors and omissions of third party permitted subcontractors exceed the value of compensation it receives for such acts, errors and omissions from the third party and any payments received with respect to the same from its insurers, or the third party permitted subcontractor’s insurers. For the avoidance of doubt, this section 2.2 shall take precedence over the provisions of Article 14 and Article 16 only with respect to the liability of Cobra for the acts, errors and omissions of third party permitted subcontractors.

2.2.1. Customer shall not sub-contract the performance of any of its obligations under a Service Schedule without Cobra’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

2.2.2. This Agreement does not include sub-contracted Fill/Finish services, which will be the subject of separate Terms and Conditions agreed in advance of the commencement of such work by Cobra and Customer.

2.3. Performance Standards. Cobra shall assign sufficient resources, including personnel, for the performance of the Services detailed in the Service Schedules. Cobra undertakes to perform the Services diligently, in accordance with applicable laws, GMP and with the professional standards applicable in the performance of similar services in the industry in which Customer operates. Cobra shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Services and to deliver the Deliverables but does not guarantee that the Services will be successful or will achieve any objectives.

2.4. Specifications.

2.4.1. Specifications. Customer and Cobra will agree in good faith any Specifications based on the available information and data at the time such Specification is agreed.

2.4.2. Supplied by Customer. Cobra shall have no liability for errors in any Specification supplied by Customer.

2.5. Changed Services

2.5.1. Must be Agreed in Writing. No changes to a Service Schedule, Services thereunder or the Price of Services shall be implemented unless and until the parties have agreed on such change, in writing through a written change order (a “Variation”) or an amendment to the Service Schedule.

2.5.2. Either Party May Request. Either party may request that changes be made to a given Service Schedule. Cobra's consent to any change requested by Customer shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If material changes are requested, then to the extent possible, Cobra shall provide Customer with a written statement that describes in detail the proposed changes, any anticipated change in Price resulting therefrom and any other relevant facts that Cobra believes Customer may reasonably require. Cobra shall implement such changes when and if the parties agree upon them, in writing.

2.5.3. Required Changes. If either party (the "Initiating Party") requests any changes to a Service Schedule or Services thereunder that (a) the Initiating Party reasonably deems to be necessary in light of any Data, or (b) are required as a result of any changes in applicable laws, regulations (including those governing GMP and good laboratory practices), safety requirements, best practices or manufacturing requirements, and the other party does not agree to such changes within 30 days of Initiating Party’s request, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or a Service Schedule hereunder, upon written notice to the other party, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4, provided however that Customer shall forfeit the Capacity Reservation Fee applicable to any affected Service Schedules if Cobra can demonstrate that such changes identified by Customer are not required or that Customer’s failure to agree to such changes identified by Cobra shall result in Cobra’s failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including GMP.

3. Customer Materials

3.1. Provision of Materials. Customer shall timely provide Cobra with any and all Customer Materials described in the relevant Service Schedule in such quantities agreed in advance by the Parties.

3.2. Instructions. Customer shall provide Cobra with all relevant instructions and information concerning the storage and handling of Customer Materials, including all relevant health and safety information, (a) prior to delivery of such materials to Cobra, or (b) where such information involves non standard and/or special requirements, at least 10 Working Days prior to delivery of such materials to Cobra. Cobra shall comply at all times with such requirements.

3.3. Ownership and Use. Customer Materials shall be and shall remain the property of Customer, and shall be labeled by Cobra as owned by Customer, and Cobra shall take reasonable measures to segregate Customer Materials are far as is practicably possible. Cobra shall not use Customer Materials for any purpose other than the provision of Services, without Customer’s written consent, and shall not transfer or permit the transfer of any Customer Materials to any third party, other than permitted sub-contractors, in accordance with Section 2.2.1. Cobra shall limit access to Customer Materials to employees and/or sub-contractors of Cobra who have a need to access such materials in connection with the provision of Services and who have the expertise and experience required in the use, storage and handling of such materials. Materials shall be used on a first in first out basis except to the extent requested by Customer or that the project requires new materials to be used, for example a specific lot number of material is requested, or the same lot of material must be used, resulting in new material being used before residuals. Any unused materials shall be returned to Customer.

3.4. Lost or Damaged Materials. Cobra shall take reasonable measures to protect Customer Materials from destruction, theft or loss while in the possession and/or control of Cobra. If Cobra should fail to take such measures and, as a result, any Customer Materials are lost, damaged or destroyed, Cobra’s liability therefor shall be limited to the cost of replacing the lost, damaged or destroyed Customer Materials with Materials of the same brand where reasonably practicable, in a timely manner. Any such replacement costs will be borne by Cobra. This Section 3.4 shall not apply to any Customer Materials that are properly used in performing the Services, including any such materials that are lost or destroyed as a result of natural wastage arising from the performance of Services.

3.5. Other Materials. Cobra shall purchase the necessary consumables, raw materials and process specific equipment in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Service Schedule to perform the Services. All purchases and/or use of stock items shall be detailed on Cobra’s invoice to Customer for the same. To the extent that purchase orders exceed the pre-approval value provided for in the relevant Service Schedule Cobra under this Agreement shall list in writing (the "List of Materials"). The List of Materials shall include the details of materials and raw materials and of the relevant suppliers and respective prices. The List of Materials shall be provided to Customer, prior to the purchase of such materials and raw materials, for its approval. Customer's consent to the purchase of materials and raw materials shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, however, Cobra shall take into account Customer's requests regarding such purchase of materials and raw materials.

4. Capacity Reservation and Associated Fees

4.1. Capacity Reservation and Fee. A Service Schedule may provide for Cobra to reserve capacity and resources at its facility (a “Reserved Slot”), on particular consecutive dates (the first of which is referred to below as the “1st Reserved Date”), during which Cobra will perform relevant Services. In such a case, the Service Schedule shall require that Customer pay, prior to the commencement of Services thereunder, or at such other timing as set forth in the Services Schedule, a specified, non-refundable fee for such reservation (a “Capacity Reservation Fee”), which shall be creditable against future Services to be performed under the Service Schedule, but shall not be refundable under any circumstances; except in the event of termination by Customer as a result of a material breach of this Agreement by Cobra; which is not capable of being cured, or cured, within a reasonable timeframe, such refund to be negotiated in good faith between the Parties. Upon execution of such a Service Schedule, Cobra shall provisionally reserve a Reserved Slot for Customer. Upon Cobra’s receipt of the associated Capacity Reservation Fee, Cobra shall firmly reserve the Reserved Slot for Customer, unless the slot has since been reserved for another client, in which case Cobra shall reserve for Customer the next available Reserved Slot.

4.2. Changes to Reserved Slots. If Customer makes a written request to change a Reserved Slot, Cobra shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate the request, subject to availability of an appropriate Reserved Slot. If Cobra is able to accommodate the request, then (except in cases where the change was requested solely due to a delay that was Cobra’s fault), Customer (a) shall be charged a new Capacity Reservation Fee, in the same amount as, and subject to all terms applicable to the original Capacity Reservation Fee, and (b) shall forfeit a percentage of the original Capacity Reservation Fee, depending on the number of months in advance of the First Reserved Date that Customer requested the change, as follows:

Time of Request (Number of months before First Reserved Date)	Portion of Capacity Reservation Fee Forfeited
More than 4	25	%
Less than 4 but more than 3	50	%
Less than 3 but more than 2	75	%
Less than 2	100	%

Forfeited Capacity Reservation Fees shall be deemed to have been unconditionally released to Cobra and shall not be creditable against any Services.

4.3. Cancellation of Reserved Slots. Customer may not cancel a Reserved Slot (other than in connection with changing one, as provided in Section 4.2) and shall be liable for payment of the relevant Capacity Reservation Fee and all Services and Deliverables provided to Customer in connection with such Reserved Slot.

4.4. Loss of Reserved Slot as a result of requirement of use of specific materials. Customer shall forfeit, 100% of the capacity reservation fee in the event that Customer requires a specific material to be used for which there is no acceptable alternative available and such material cannot be sourced, resulting in the inability of Cobra to perform the Services detailed in the Service Schedule in the Reserved Slot.

5. Delivery and Retention of Deliverables

5.1. Timing. Cobra shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Deliverables ready and available for pickup by the Shipper on the dates specified in the relevant Service Schedule. Such dates are not guaranteed. Cobra shall notify Customer when Deliverables are available for collection and shall promptly inform Customer of any delay in such availability. Without derogating from its obligations hereunder, Cobra shall inform Customer in writing of any expected delay, as soon as it becomes aware of the likelihood of occurrence thereof, the reasons therefore, and shall propose ways to mitigate it.

5.2. Manner of Delivery. Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, (a) all Deliverables shall be made available, at the relevant Cobra facility, for loading by a common carrier agreed upon by the parties (the “Shipper”) and shipment to Customer or its designee, and (b) shipments shall be EXW (Incoterms 2000), Cobra’s facility. The Deliverables shall be collected within 10 Working Days of Cobra’s notice to Customer of their availability, during regular business hours, at a date and time agreed by the parties, in advance. If the Deliverables are not collected within the 10 Working Day period, Cobra may (a) dispatch Deliverables to Customer, at Customer’s expense, or (b) retain the Deliverables at the facility and charge Customer its customary daily fee in connection therewith, until the Deliverables have been collected. Unless the parties have agreed otherwise in writing, Customer’s refusal to take Delivery of conforming Deliverables within a reasonable period after receipt of a written notice of their completion and availability for delivery shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

5.3. Retention of Deliverables or Customer Materials. If Customer wishes Cobra to retain at its facility (a) Customer Materials or samples of Deliverables over and above those Cobra is required by law or regulation to retain, or (b) Deliverables that are available for collection by the Shipper, such retention shall be subject to the parties’ agreement to such retention, and the storage price, in accordance with Cobra's then prevailing prices for storage of similar items, in a new, separate Service Schedule, which provides that Cobra shall have no liability for damage to or loss of such materials while retained at Cobra’s facility.

6. Compensation and Payment

6.1. Prices of Services. The Prices of Services to be performed pursuant to a given Service Schedule shall be as provided in such Service Schedule.

6.2. Taxes. Prices are exclusive of any applicable VAT and/or other sales/transaction taxes, for which Customer shall additionally be liable and as such Cobra reserves the right to charge Customer for any such VAT and/or other sales/transaction taxes.

6.3. Other Costs. Unless provided otherwise in a Service Schedule, any costs of shipping, insurance or importation of Deliverables and Customer Materials, or of packaging materials, shall be charged separately and in addition to the Price of Services with a 10% handling fee.

6.4.Travel Expenses. Customer shall reimburse Cobra for all reasonable travel and accommodation expenses involved in the provision of Services, to the extent such expenses are agreed upon by the parties, in writing and in advance.

6.5. Timing of Payments. Capacity Reservation Fees shall be due immediately after the parties’ execution of the Service Schedule to which such fees relate and Customer’s receipt of invoice, and in any case prior Cobra’s making a firm reservation of capacity for the relevant Services. The balance of the Price of Services shall be payable within 30 days of Customer’s receipt of applicable invoice. Timing of invoicing shall be as provided in the relevant Service Schedule. Time for payment shall be of the essence.

6.6. Late Payments. Payments shall be deemed made only when Cobra has received cash or cleared funds covering the amounts due. If Customer fails to make any payment in full on its due date, Cobra shall charge Customer interest on the unpaid at the rate of 2% above the Stibor, compounded monthly, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.

7. Defective Services or Deliverables

7.1. Acceptance and Rejection. Cobra shall, where agreed by both Parties, deliver to Customer samples of Deliverables at least seven (7) Working Days prior to the date of anticipated delivery of such Deliverables.

7.2. Customer shall have 20 Working Days following the Delivery of Deliverables, (a) to accept them (b) to notify Cobra, in writing that the Deliverables are Defective and/or (c) to notify Cobra, in writing, that Deliverables due to Customer are missing from the shipment (a “Shortage”). Upon request by Cobra, Customer shall return to Cobra any Deliverables rejected hereunder as Defective, unless it would not be reasonably possible to do so. Failure to notify Cobra of a Defect or Shortage within such 20 Working Day period, or to return rejected Deliverables, upon request by Cobra, as required under this Section 7.1, shall be deemed an acceptance of the relevant Deliverables and/or Services. Where Deliverables are to be accompanied by additional documentation specified in the Service Schedule or required under the Quality Agreement, Cobra shall provide such additional documentation.

7.3. Disputes Regarding Defects. In the event of a dispute over whether Deliverables are Defective, the parties shall provide a representative sample of such Deliverables to an agreed upon, independent testing laboratory, for analysis and a final, binding determination of whether the Deliverables are Defective and the cause thereof. The party that the determination disfavors shall bear the costs of the analysis.

7.4. Remedies for Defective Deliverables/Services. With respect to (a) any Deliverables timely rejected pursuant to Section 7.1 and determined by Cobra or an independent laboratory, pursuant to Section 7.2, to be Defective, and (b) any Shortages, Cobra, at its option, shall either (i) refund the Price of the Defective or missing Deliverables and/or associated Services or (ii) replace such Defective or missing Deliverables and/or re-perform the associated Services, at no additional charge to Customer, as soon as is commercially reasonable.

7.5. Customer’s Sole of Remedy. The remedy provided in Section 7 shall be Customer’s sole remedy for the Delivery of Defective Deliverables or the performance of Defective Services hereunder.

8. Services Involving the Release of Materials Processed by Third Parties

8.1. Access and Assistance to Qualified Person. This Article 8 applies to Services involving the release by Cobra, through a Qualified Person (as that term is defined in Article 48 of Directive 2001/83/EC), of materials that have been processed, in whole or in part, by a third party (“Processed Materials”). In any such case, Customer, at its own cost, shall (a) ensure that the Qualified Person is named on any relevant marketing authorization, and shall (b) provide the Qualified Person with unrestricted access to Customer’s premises, personnel, procedures, documentation and information (including any dossiers upon which marketing authorizations have been granted, together with any variations affecting such approvals) relevant to or associated with such product, and (c) provide the Qualified Person with such assistance as is reasonably requested by the Qualified Person from time to time.

8.2. Replacement of Qualified Person. Where a Qualified Person named in the Service Schedule is no longer able to perform the Services, Customer shall, at Cobra’s cost, provide Cobra with such assistance as is necessary and/or desirable to have an alternative Qualified Person named on any relevant marketing authorization.

8.3. Limitation on Liability for Services by Qualified Person. Neither Cobra nor any Qualified Person shall have any liability to Customer in any way related to the release of a Processed Material, except where the liability arises as a direct result of a violation by the Qualified Person of his statutory obligations as a Qualified Person.
