Master Laboratory Services Agreement
Introduction and Scope
Section 1. Parties; Defined Terms
| | 1.1 | This is an agreement between ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and Company, Lilly ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, (“Lilly”) and Shanghai ChemPartner Co., Ltd., Building #3,

| | 1.2 | Other capitalized terms are defined in Exhibit A. |
Section 2. Scope of Agreement
| | 2.1 | Projects. From time to time during the term of the Master Agreement, ChemPartner and Lilly may execute Work Orders that are consistent with Exhibit B for
Projects comprising the types of laboratory services listed below. Except to the extent the parties agree to particular Work Orders, nothing about the Agreement requires ChemPartner to furnish, or Lilly to request ChemPartner to furnish, any
particular services or deliverables or any particular quantity of services or deliverables. |
| | 2.2 | Manner of Executing Work Orders. Lilly may from time to time request ChemPartner to prepare and submit a proposed Work Order signed by ChemPartner. Should it
choose to comply, ChemPartner/bears the expense of preparing and submitting the proposal. A proposed Work Order becomes part of the Agreement only if Lilly accepts it by: |
| | 2.2.1 | Signing the proposed Work Order (or an identical counterpart). Lilly may then issue a purchase order/solely for administrative purposes. If so, neither the terms and
conditions of the purchase order nor anything else about it affect the agreed Work Order. |
| | 2.2.2 | Issuing its standard form of purchase order solely for the purpose of accepting the proposed Work Order without revision. Neither the terms and conditions of the
purchase order nor anything else about it affects the proposed Work Order. |
| | 2.3 | Term of Master Agreement. The term of the Master Agreement is from March 1, 2008 through
June 30th 2011, unless it is cancelled or terminated
earlier. Nonetheless, if any Work Orders are in effect on the day the Master Agreement would otherwise expire, the Master Agreement remains in effect solely for the purpose of those Work Orders (and not for the purpose of executing new Work Orders)
until their expiration, cancellation, or termination.
|
| | 2.4 | Term of Work Orders. Each Work Order takes effect and expires according to the Project Specifications, unless it is cancelled or terminated earlier. If the
Project Specifications do not state when the Work Order takes effect, it takes effect when Lilly accepts ChemPartner’s proposal. If no expiration date is specified, the Work Order expires when the Project is complete. Any individual Work Order
may be cancelled or terminated independently of the rest of the Agreement, with any provision of the Agreement relevant to termination or cancellation apply only to that Work Order. Cancellation or termination of the Master Agreement cancels or
terminates all Work Orders. |

to mitigate further cost to Lilly while preserving the value of any work already completed. ChemPartner will give Lilly prompt written notice that it believes the Project cannot be completed within the estimated amount, the reasons for that belief,
