Common use of INTEGRITY OF RECORDS AND FINANCIAL REPORTS Clause in Contracts

INTEGRITY OF RECORDS AND FINANCIAL REPORTS. It is of critical importance that Biovail’s filings with the appropriate regulatory authorities (e.g. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) be accurate and timely. Depending on their position with Biovail, an employee, officer or director may be called upon to provide necessary information to ensure that Biovail’s public reports are complete, fair and understandable. Biovail expects employees, officers and directors to take this responsibility very seriously and to provide prompt accurate answers to inquiries related to Biovail’s public disclosure requirements. The integrity of Biovail’s record keeping systems will be respected at all times. Employees, officers and directors are forbidden to use, authorize, or condone the use of “off-the-books” bookkeeping, secret accounts, unrecorded bank accounts, “slush” funds, falsified books, or any other devices that could be utilized to distort records or reports of Biovail’s true operating results and financial conditions or could otherwise result in the improper recordation of funds or transactions.
