Strata Trial Collaboration Agreement

This Strata Trial Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into the 30th day of January, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Clovis Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Clovis”), having an address of 5500 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 100, Boulder, Colorado 80301, and Strata Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Strata Oncology”), having an address of 8170 Jackson Road, Suite A, Ann Arbor, MI  48103, each a “Party” and together the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Section 1.1 of this Agreement.

Whereas, Clovis is engaged in clinical development programs directed to Clovis’ proprietary inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (“PARP”) called rucaparib (the “Clovis Drug Candidate”), which is currently the subject of Clovis clinical trials described on Schedule A together, the “Clovis Trials”), for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer  (the “Named Indication”), targeting certain oncogenic driver mutations as more fully described and defined in Schedule A (the “Clovis Target Alterations”);

Whereas, Strata Oncology is developing a collaboration among Strata Oncology, clinical study sites, and clinical study sponsors (hereinafter such collaboration is referred to as the “Strata Trial Collaboration”) which: (a) is intended ultimately to be a national clinical trial conducted pursuant to a master trial protocol with each Participating Study Sponsor (as defined below) responsible for its respective Strata Partnered Trial (as defined below) and the study protocol pertaining thereto, and (b) seeks to: (i) identify cancer patients whose tumors have specific gene mutations through the Strata Oncology Testing Services (as defined below), and (ii) match each patient with a clinical study of a therapy that targets that patient’s specific gene mutations (each herein a “Strata Partnered Trial”), which study is being conducted by one of Strata Oncology’s partnered clinical study sponsors (herein “Participating Study Sponsors”);

Whereas, Clovis desires to participate in the Strata Trial Collaboration as a Participating Study Sponsor;

Whereas, as part of the Strata Trial Collaboration, Strata Oncology intends to use Thermo Fisher’s Oncomine NGS assay and system (for purposes of this Agreement, herein referred to as the “Strata Oncology Assay”) to provide next generation sequencing testing services, which includes without limitation testing for the Clovis Target Alterations (the “Strata Oncology Testing Services”) to patients at clinical study sites located in the United States that have agreed to participate in the Strata Trial Collaboration (“Participating Study Sites”) and further Clovis and Strata Oncology desire to identify potentially eligible patients for the Clovis Trials, through the Strata Oncology Testing Services, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

Now Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and promises contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

13.2      Indemnification by Strata Oncology.  Strata Oncology will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Clovis, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “Clovis Indemnified Party”) from and against any Liability which the Clovis Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties or incurred in connection with any and all Third Party Claims to the extent resulting from or arising out of (a) the conduct of the Strata Trial Collaboration and/or the Strata Oncology Testing Services by, or on behalf of or under authority of, Strata Oncology;  (b) the breach of any agreement between Strata Oncology and any Third Party that is part of the Strata Trial Collaboration, including agreements with any Participating Study Sponsors or Participating Study Sites; and/or (c) the breach or violation of [***]; except in each case, to the extent caused by [***].

 

13.3      Procedure.  Each Party will provide prompt written notice to the other in the event it becomes aware of a Third Party Claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give prompt written notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder, except to the extent it has suffered actual material prejudice due to such failure.  In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 13, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing.  With fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and control the disposition or settlement thereof (including all decisions relative to litigation, appeal, and settlement, subject to this Section 13.3).  The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in such defense.  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense.  The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided the Indemnified Party shall bear the expense if the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would, in the written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them.  All such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred, and provided reasonable documentation along with an invoice is provided.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding affected without its prior written consent, but if settled with such prior written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is, or arising out of the same set of facts could have been, a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Indemnified Party, unless there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or rights of any person, the sole relief is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have no liability or obligation with respect thereto.
