APPENDIX “A”

STATEMENT OF WORK

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

LPL Gene Therapy for LPL Deficiency

1.	PROJECT OBJECTIVE

AMT is developing an adeno-associated virus (MV) gene therapy strategy as an orphan drug to enhance triglyceride metabolism in genetically deficient LPL patients. When successful, this gene therapy approach has the potential to be used in large patient populations by correcting the lipoprotein phenotype in coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia. This project is directed at the development of an adeno-associated virus (AAV), gene-based strategy for the replacement and/or enhancement of Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) gene function in humans. The specific objectives of this gene targeting approach is to enhance intravascular triglyceride (Tg) metabolism (or in other words, lipid breakdown) in patients who have severely elevated blood Tg’s due to a genetic deficiency of LPL; these patient carry a high health risk of both morbidity and mortality, and occur in significant numbers in Western Europe, Canada, the US and South Africa.

CONFIDENTIAL		EXECUTION COPY

For the avoidance of doubt, each milestone is payable once, up to a maximum of EUR [†] (in words: [†] Euro) in milestone payments and only one milestone is payable for any given calendar year. For clarity, the highest unpaid payment possible shall be paid with respect to a particular calendar year, and any payment not made because a higher payment was due shall be available for payment if the relevant Net Sales threshold is achieved in a subsequent year. For example,[†].

(d) Chiesi shall keep complete and accurate records of Product sold or otherwise made available as appropriate to determine the amount of commercial milestones and other payments to be paid to uniQure. These records shall be retained for at least [†] years after delivery of the Product pursuant to Section 2.5. uniQure shall have the right [†] at uniQure’s expense to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by uniQure, and reasonably acceptable to Chiesi, to review such records in the location(s) where such records are maintained by Chiesi upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours and under obligations of confidence. Results of such review shall be made available to both Parties. If the review indicates that there was an underpayment of any amount payable to uniQure, the amount of such underpayment shall be remitted to uniQure within [†] days after such review, together with interest calculated in the manner provided in paragraph (f) below. If the underpayment is equal to or greater than [†] percent ([†]%) of the amount that was otherwise due, Chiesi shall pay all of uniQure’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such review. If the review indicates that there was an overpayment of any amounts by Chiesi, Chiesi may apply the amount of such overpayment to any future payment due to uniQure under Section 2.3.

(e) All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in EUR by wire transfer to the account designated by uniQure in writing. If amounts (e.g. Average Net Sales Price or Fully Loaded Cost of Goods) relevant for the calculation of any payments to be made under this Agreement are in a currency other than Euros, such amounts shall be expressed in their Euro equivalent, calculated[†] to which the applicable amounts relate using the currency converter at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, all payments to uniQure are to be executed without any further deduction within [†] days after receipt by Chiesi of the invoice with respect thereto.

(f) Any payment to uniQure under this Agreement that is not paid on or before the date such payment is due shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) [†]per year, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Laws, calculated on the number of days such payments are overdue.

(g) Any payment to be made under this Agreement shall be made plus value-added tax, if applicable.

(h) To the extent that any payments hereunder by Chiesi to uniQure are subject to tax, Chiesi shall pay such tax; provided, however, that, with respect to any payments subject to withholding tax, Chiesi shall pay the applicable withholding tax amount to the relevant taxing authority and promptly provide uniQure with all necessary documentation for uniQure to recover such tax. Chiesi will take all reasonable and lawful steps to minimize the amount of any such withholding tax obligation and uniQure shall promptly provide all information and documentation in its possession necessary for doing so.

Basic Trademark Rules:

•

The most prominent use (which is usually the first use of our registered trademarks in a title, heading, and text of a document) should have the superscripted registered trademark symbol ®. If that symbol is not available, then use (R).

•

Distinguish our trademarks. Visually set off our trademarks from the surrounding text.

•

Our trademarks are never plural or possessive.

•

Never modify the form of our trademarks, whether the trademarks are an acronym, word, words or graphic design. Unless otherwise specifically permitted in writing, word trademarks should not be modified by abbreviations, translations or connections (e.g., by a hyphen or otherwise) to other words or trademarks. Our trademarks should not be split over any lines. All logos should be reproduced in strict compliance with the established graphical form.

•

Colors of our trademarks. The preferred treatment for the company logo is as follows:

The logo has to be displayed in printed letters. Only the “Q” is in upper case.

•
