CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED--REDACTED COPY
2.2.1 Except as otherwise set forth in Sections 2.2.2 and 2.3, the Bulk Drug Substance Master Plan may be amended from time to time, as the parties experience with the Production, testing and use of the Bulk Drug Substance warrants, only upon mutual written agreement of HALOZYME and AVID.
2.2.2 At the reasonable request of HALOZYME, the parties shall negotiate in good faith modification(s) to the Specifications (Exhibit E) to address regulatory concerns raised by any Regulatory Authority or raised by HALOZYME.
2.2.3 In the event of any modification(s) to the Specifications that result in an increase or decrease in the costs to AVID, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the Purchase Price to reflect such increased or decreased cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if HALOZYME should decide to change the Specifications with regard to the Bulk Drug Substance, HALOZYME shall be liable for any and all additional costs for materials, including but not limited to, raw materials, shipping materials or other items previously purchased by AVID in reasonable anticipation of use under this Agreement which have become unnecessary as a result of such change and cannot be used by AVID with its manufacturing efforts for its other customers (collectively, the "Incurred Material Costs"); provided, however, that AVID has notified HALOZYME in writing of such Incurred Material Costs prior to the date of any amendment to the Specifications and HALOZYME has agreed in writing to pay to AVID such Incurred Material Costs.
2.2.4 In the event that any change contemplated under this
Section 2.2 that is requested by HALOZYME has the effect of delaying a scheduled manufacturing run, AVID shall use its reasonable best efforts to accommodate such run as soon as reasonably practicable. The parties agree that AVID shall not be liable to HALOZYME for any loss, damages incurred by HALOZYME to the extent resulting from such delay.
2.2.5 In the event that HALOZYME requests a change, whether planned or unplanned that causes a delay to a manufacturing run under the Manufacturing Schedule, HALOZYME shall be liable for any and all Incurred Material Costs; provided, however, that AVID has notified HALOZYME in writing of such Incurred Material Costs prior to the date of any amendment to the Manufacturing Schedule and HALOZYME has agreed in writing to pay to AVID such Incurred Material Costs. An alteration to the agreed upon Manufacturing Schedule that is requested by HALOZYME and results in HALOZYME losing a manufacturing time slot will result in forfeiture of the deposit for that manufacturing time slot as identified and set forth in the Purchase Price unless AVID, using its reasonable best efforts, is able to fill such manufacturing time slot with a manufacturing project for one of its other customers.
2.2.6 In the event that AVID requests a change, whether planned or unplanned, that causes a delay to a manufacturing run under the Manufacturing Schedule, HALOZYME shall not be liable for any and all Incurred Material Costs and shall not lose its deposit for any manufacturing slots identified and set forth in the Purchase Price. AVID shall, in good faith and using commercially reasonable efforts, limit any delay resulting from such change to less than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that if the change requested by AVID results in a delay to the manufacturing run under the Manufacturing Schedule longer than sixty (60) days
*** Confidential material redacted and submitted separately to the Commission
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED--REDACTED COPY
in the aggregate, the parties shall mutually agree upon a fair and equitable reduction in the Purchase Price for the applicable Bulk Drug Substance to compensate HALOZYME for such delay, provided that such delay was not caused by HALOZYME.
2.3 Quality Agreement. At the reasonable request of either party, the parties shall negotiate in good faith amendment(s) to the Quality Agreement (Exhibit C) (a) to address matters specific to the Production of Bulk Drug Substance for sale and use outside the United States, and (b) to address regulatory concerns raised by a Regulatory Authority or concerns relating to regulatory compliance or quality raised by a party.
2.4 Order of Precedence. In the event that the terms of the Bulk Drug Substance Master Plan or Quality Agreement are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall control, unless otherwise explicitly agreed to in writing by the parties. The Bulk Drug Substance Master Plan and Quality Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated herein and by reference and made a part of this Agreement.
2.5 Raw Materials and Testing. HALOZYME authorizes AVID to procure from qualified vendors in accordance with the Bulk Drug Substance Master Plan all necessary raw materials and supplies required to meet the manufacturing timeline per the Manufacturing Schedule. HALOZYME shall provide AVID with at least four (4) months advance written notice if HALOZYME would like to delay the purchase of the raw materials and supplies. In addition, HALOZYME authorizes AVID to ship out all necessary samples for outside testing as soon as reasonable practical in accordance with the Bulk Drug Substance Requirements. In accordance with the Bulk Drug Substance Master Plan, HALOZYME shall pay AVID for all raw materials, supplies, and outside testing charges procured on behalf of HALOZYME to manufacture the BDS. In the event the raw materials and supplies are utilized for other customers of AVID, HALOZYME shall receive credit from AVID for the raw materials and supplies utilized by other customers of AVID.
In the event that a raw material is either not available despite being ordered in advance adhering to supplier's stated lead-time, or on back order from a vendor, or received raw materials do not meet Specifications, and in each case such delay is out of the reasonable control or foresight of the parties, the Manufacturing Schedule shall be delayed at no cost or liability to either party; provided, however, that if such delay is caused solely by AVID and is longer than thirty (30) days in the aggregate, the parties shall mutually agree upon a fair and equitable reduction in the Purchase Price for the applicable Bulk Drug Substance to compensate HALOZYME for such delay, provided that such delay was not caused by HALOZYME. HALOZYME and AVID will use their reasonable best efforts to locate alternative sources of the back ordered raw material. If a vendor is located, said vendor must be qualified prior to any material being used in the manufacture of the Bulk Drug Substance. AVID will qualify vendor under the terms of this Agreement. AVID shall provide HALOZYME with the right to secure the next available manufacturing time slot once the raw material has been received and tested to meet Specifications.

Any substantive change (e.g., one that would require a change in revision level per AVID Document Control SOP) to the approved Master Batch Record must be reviewed and approved in writing by AVID and HALOZYME prior to any change being implemented. It is the responsibility of HALOZYME to ensure that proper Regulatory Authorities approve the suggested changes, if necessary. Each Batch of Bulk Drug Substance shall be Produced according to, and shall be documented in, a production copy of the Master Batch Record, known as an Executed Batch Record. Each copy of the Executed Batch Record for such Batch of Bulk Drug Substance shall be assigned a unique batch number by AVID. Any deviation from the manufacturing process specified in the Master Batch Record must be documented in the copy of the Master Batch Record for that Batch using a deviation form. AVID shall provide HALOZYME with one (1) copy of a Released Executed Batch Record with a completed Batch of Bulk Drug Substance as soon as practical but no later than within two
(2) weeks following completion of such batch. All AVID SOPs shall be made available to HALOZYME for review at AVID's facility. HALOZYME shall not be allowed to copy or duplicate any AVID SOPs without the prior written consent of AVID. After the Effective Date, HALOZYME will be permitted to review all relevant general SOP's so long as they do not compromise confidentiality of other clients and all reviews must be on-site only. In no event shall HALOZYME be provided copies of these general SOP's nor shall HALOZYME remove said documents from AVID's facility.
3.3 Delivery Terms. In accordance with the Bulk Drug Substance Master Plan, AVID shall ship all Bulk Drug Substance, at HALOZYME's expense, to a location designated by HALOZYME, FCA (Tustin, California, per Incoterms 2000), by a common carrier designated by HALOZYME in the shipping instructions to be provided by HALOZYME (the "Shipping Instructions").

5. ACCEPTANCE OF BULK DRUG SUBSTANCE.
5.1 Bulk Drug Substance Conformity. With respect to each Batch, no later than thirty (30) calendar days from AVID'S delivery of the COA and Released Executed Batch Record (provided by HALOZYME) for such Batch, HALOZYME shall either (a) accept the Batch and title shall transfer to HALOZYME, or (b) notify AVID in writing of the failure of the Batch to meet the Bulk Drug Substance Requirements. All risk of loss for the Bulk Drug Substance shall pass to HALOZYME at the close of business on the 30th calendar day following the later of delivery of the COA and Released Executed Batch Record for such Batch unless HALOZYME has notified AVID of the failure of the Batch to meet the Bulk Drug Substance Requirements. It shall be the responsibility of HALOZYME to provide AVID the Shipping Instructions for the Bulk Drug Substance and any labeling requirements for the Bulk Drug Substance. All reasonable costs and expenses associated with HALOZYME's packaging and shipping requests shall be paid by HALOZYME. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if HALOZYME accepts a Batch but wishes to have AVID store the Bulk Drug Substance under a bill and hold arrangement beyond the thirty (30) day period, HALOZYME shall provide AVID with written notice to store the BDS and shall pay AVID *** a month per Batch (not to exceed six (6) months) and AVID shall store such Batch in accordance with cGMP at its facilities ("Bill and Hold Arrangement"). Promptly following the end of such six (6) month period, AVID shall, at HALOZYME's expense, ship the remaining BDS (if any) to such as address as HALOZYME shall provide. Under the bill and hold arrangement, HALOZYME shall provide to AVID, prior to the close of the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following the later of delivery of the COA and Released Executed Batch Record, a written fixed schedule covering a period not to exceed such six (6) month period for delivery of the BDS. Other than AVID's obligations relating to the storage and delivery of the BDS, AVID shall not be responsible for any additional performance obligations with respect to the BDS after the thirty (30) day period. HALOZYME agrees that all
*** Confidential material redacted and submitted separately to the Commission
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED--REDACTED COPY
risk of loss of the BDS shall transfer to HALOZYME at the close of the thirtieth
(30th) calendar day following AVID'S delivery of the COA and Released Executed Batch Record for such Batch under any Bill and Hold Arrangement. HALOZYME shall pay all amounts required to be paid to AVID pursuant to this Agreement no later than thirty (30) days from the date of invoice in accordance with the Purchase Price.
5.1.1 If HALOZYME fails to notify AVID within the time period specified in Section 5.1 that any Bulk Drug Substance does not conform to the Bulk Drug Substance Requirements, then HALOZYME shall be deemed to have accepted such Bulk Drug Substance and waived its right to revoke acceptance.
5.1.2 If HALOZYME believes any Bulk Drug Substance does not conform to the Bulk Drug Substance Requirements, it shall give written notice to AVID specifying the manner in which such Bulk Drug Substance fails to meet the Bulk Drug Substance Requirements. Guidelines for resolving any disputed claims regarding conformity of Bulk Drug Substance are set forth in Section 5.1.3.
5.1.3 If there is any dispute concerning whether the Bulk Drug Substance complies with the Bulk Drug Substance Requirements or whether any such failure is due (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of HALOZYME after delivery of the Bulk Drug Substance, the parties first shall refer such matter to the head of Quality Department of each company for amicable settlement. In the event that the head of each Quality Department does not settle such dispute within ten (10) business days (or such later time as the parties may agree in writing) after one party referred the matter to the other company's Quality Department, a sample of the Bulk Drug Substance retained by AVID and a sample of the Bulk Drug Substance delivered to HALOZYME shall be exchanged between the parties for a counter-check. If such counter-check does not resolve the dispute, a sample of the Bulk Drug Substance retained by AVID and a sample of the Bulk Drug Substance delivered to HALOZYME shall be submitted to an independent, qualified third party laboratory that is mutually acceptable and selected by the parties promptly in good faith. Such laboratory shall determine whether the Bulk Drug Substance delivered to HALOZYME met the Bulk Drug Substance Requirements at the time of delivery by AVID, and such laboratory's determinations shall be final. In the event the Bulk Drug Substance provided by AVID to the independent, qualified third party laboratory meets the Bulk Drug Substance Requirements, HALOZYME shall immediately and without delay pay AVID the Purchase Price. The non-prevailing party shall bear the costs of such laboratory or consultant, except as set forth in Section 5.2.2.
5.2 Remedies for Non Conforming Bulk Drug Substance.
5.2.1 In the event AVID agrees that any Bulk Drug Substance is non-conforming or the independent laboratory determines that the shipment of Bulk Drug Substance is non-conforming, AVID shall use its best efforts to replace such non-conforming Bulk Drug Substance as soon as practical in the next available manufacturing time slot from the date of determination by the third party of non-conformity or agreement by AVID of such non-conformity.
*** Confidential material redacted and submitted separately to the Commission
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED--REDACTED COPY
5.2.2 In the event AVID agrees, or the independent laboratory or consultant determines, that Bulk Drug Substance is non-conforming due in whole or in part to the negligence or willful misconduct of AVID, then to the extent such nonconformity results from the negligence or willful misconduct of AVID, AVID shall be responsible for the cost of Production and delivery of the replacement Bulk Drug Substance, subject to, and except as otherwise set forth in, the provisions of Section 11.
6. BULK DRUG SUBSTANCE RECALLS. Each party promptly shall notify the other if any Batch of Bulk Drug Substance is alleged or proven to be the subject of a recall, market withdrawal or correction. HALOZYME shall be responsible for coordinating any recall, market withdrawal or field correction of Bulk Drug Substance, and recall, market withdrawal or correction shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Quality Agreement. HALOZYME shall provide AVID with a copy of all documents relating to such recall, market withdrawal or field correction. AVID shall cooperate with HALOZYME (including providing HALOZYME with all data, information and documents requested by HALOZYME) in connection with such recall, market withdrawal or field correction, at HALOZYME's expense. Unless such recall is caused solely by the negligence, omission or willful misconduct of AVID or solely by AVID's breach of its warranties or obligations under this Agreement, HALOZYME shall be responsible for all of the costs and expenses of such recall, market withdrawal or field correction. In the event a recall, market withdrawal or field correction is necessary because of AVID's breach of this Agreement or its negligence, omission or willful misconduct, AVID will bear all reasonable costs associated with such recall, market withdrawal or field correction (including but not limited to costs associated with receiving and administering the recalled Drug Substance and notification of the recall to those persons whom HALOZYME deems appropriate).
7. CHANGES IN PRODUCTION. AVID shall inform HALOZYME within fifteen (15) calendar days of the result of any development that directly affects the Production of the Bulk Drug Substance or changes to Bulk Drug Substance-specific AVID SOPs. AVID shall give written notice to HALOZYME of any such changes, and HALOZYME and AVID will review such development or changes in accordance with the Quality Agreement. AVID shall assure that all such changes to the Bulk Drug Substance-specific AVID SOPs are consistent with the Bulk Drug Substance Master Plan unless the parties otherwise expressly agree in writing. AVID shall only make changes to the Bulk Drug Substance Master Plan that are in accordance with
Section 2.2.

*** Confidential material redacted and submitted separately to the Commission
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED - REDACTED COPY
Contractor
Any manufacturer, packager, or other BDS support service provider who performs processing or packaging of a BDS or any intermediate step of manufacture, or other BDS support service, is a contractor.
Cumulase(TM)
For the purposes of this Quality Agreement, Cumulase(TM) will mean a final fill finished medical device product that incorporates the BDS as an active ingredient.
Current Good Manufacturing Practices
For the purposes of this SQA cGMP relates to the United States requirements for the manufacture and distribution of drugs and medical devices as codified under Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations Sections 210, 211 and 820 and United States Food and Drug administration published guidelines, regulations and requirements. Also for the purposes of this SQA cGMP relates to the published International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q7A and consensus draft texts and guidelines agreed to by the appropriate ICH Expert Working group and agreed to as applicable by both parties.
Deviation
The document used to obtain approvals of either planned or unplanned deviations to temporarily modify or to document excursions from operating, manufacturing, testing instructions, target and informational test results, or procedures. The deviation does not permanently change existing instructions, BPRs, or procedures; it is intended to be a specific one time use document.
Formal Investigation
Formal Investigations: Written reports detailing the specifics of an investigation resulting from an exception event. The investigation includes a description of the incident, investigation, conclusions, and corrective action or action plan, if applicable.
Lot Number
Note: This definition may be elaborated to include Control Number or other additional supporting information. A Lot Number is used to identify a specific lot or batch of manufactured material.
*** Confidential material redacted and submitted separately to the Commission
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED - REDACTED COPY
Material
All actives, excipients, printed or unprinted commodities which are used during the manufacturing or finishing process for BDS.
Nonconforming Materials Report (NCMR)
A document used for recording review and disposition of nonconforming materials. The NCMR document, when formally approved with appropriate sign-off, becomes the specification for the disposition of that specific lot of material only. Actions taken to investigate the nonconformance and to justify the release of that lot must be fully documented.
EnhanzeSC(TM)
For the purposes of this Quality Agreement, EnhanzeSC(TM) will mean a final fill finished drug product that incorporates BDS as an active drug substance.
Re-inspection
A visual or mechanical evaluation performed to remove or correct defective units for which the process is not expected to have an adverse effect on BDS quality.

HALOZYME THERAPEUTICS SIGNS COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING
AGREEMENT WITH AVID BIOSERVICES
SAN DIEGO, FEBRUARY 17, 2005 - Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (AMEX: HTI), a development stage biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing recombinant human enzymes, today announced it has signed a commercial manufacturing supply agreement with Avid Bioservices, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPHM). Avid will manufacture under current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) Halozyme's first recombinant human enzyme, which will be used in Cumulase(TM) and Enhanze SC(TM), Halozyme's first two product candidates. Cumulase and Enhanze SC will offer synthetic alternatives to impure slaughterhouse-derived enzymes currently used in the infertility and ophthalmology markets. Halozyme anticipates that it will begin the next phase of manufacturing in early March of 2005.
"The signing of this commercial manufacturing agreement is the result of the strong working partnership between Avid Bioservices and Halozyme and represents a key milestone toward building the long term success of Avid," said Jay Treat, PhD, Avid's COO. "Since Avid's formation in January of 2002, our goal has been to become a premier service partner by integrating our efforts with our clients as if we were their own process sciences and manufacturing departments."
"We are pleased to contract with Avid for the commercial manufacturing of our recombinant human enzyme, which will be used in Cumulase and Enhanze SC," said Jonathan Lim, MD, Halozyme's Chairman and CEO. "With Avid's solid capabilities in cGMP manufacturing, we are well positioned to launch Cumulase in Europe and rapidly advance our products to the U.S. market pending FDA clearance."
