SPO Number: *[SPO NUMBER] Project Title: *[PROJECT TITLE] Principal Investigator: *[PI NAME-4] BACKGROUND 1. WHEREAS, SPONSOR conducts business in the development of therapeutic products,

compounds, and reagents (or medical devices) ; and WHEREAS, SPONSOR has entered an agreement with CRO to act as an agent on

behalf of the Sponsor to conduct clinical research services on SPONSOR’s behalf; and

WHEREAS, SPONSOR has developed a protocol and desires STANFORD to conduct a clinical research study (hereinafter “Clinical Trial”) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the study protocol entitled_______________________ as set forth in Appendix A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (hereinafter “Protocol”); and

2. The performance of the Clinical Trial is of mutual interest to SPONSOR and STANFORD,

and is consistent with the educational, scholarship, and research objectives of STANFORD as a nonprofit, tax-exempt, educational institution.

1. STATEMENT OF WORK STANFORD agrees to use reasonable efforts to perform the Clinical Trial described in Exhibit A.

Both Parties agree to conduct the Clinical Trial based upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement

(i) SPONSOR shall conduct an evaluation of the Study Site before the performance of the Clinical Trial and before implementation of clinical testing.

(ii) Because such Studies have implications for the commitment of resources by both parties, there should be frequent and full interchange between the personnel of the SPONSOR and STANFORD.

Use of CRO. SPONSOR shall have the right to enlist the services of a contract research organization ("CRO") as its representative agent to design, develop, manage, oversee, and otherwise perform functions related to sponsor responsibilities for Studies as permitted by applicable law. The parties agree that if SPONSOR elects to utilize a CRO as its representative agent, the terms and
