The defined level for "excellence" in customer service is Supplier Delivery Performance greater than 95%, (the "Monthly Target").
OSGP will track their actual monthly performance versus the Monthly Target; and report this result to P&GP SARL monthly. If in any one month actual customer service is below the Monthly Target, then within two weeks OSGP will develop and implement an action plan for items Within OSGP Control, (the "Action Plan"), agreed to by P&GP SARL which in P&GP SARL's reasonable assessment is feasible to improve performance to meet or exceed the Monthly Target. All costs associated with any such action plan will be the responsibility of OSGP.
OSGP shall be construed to have failed to perform, as described in Article 8, its customer service obligations to P&GP SARL if any of the following events occur:
(a.) OSGP fails to meet the Monthly Target for three (3) consecutive months.
(b.) OSGP's actual performance in any two (2) consecutive months falls below two-thirds (2/3) of the Monthly Target.

Copies of manufacturing records and certificates of analysis incorporating such certification, in the form attached hereto as Schedule C, shall be provided to P&GP SARL with each shipment of Product(s) for each batch and/or partial batch contained in the shipment. All such copies shall be sent to the addressees specified by P&GP SARL.
5.2 Preservation Samples and Retained Samples: OSGP shall take from each batch of the Products pursuant to this Agreement preservation samples/retained samples which OSGP shall retain for the shelf life of the particular Product batch plus the shelf life of the finished product dosage forms of the Products plus one year or longer as required by relevant regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, preservation samples/retained samples, as referred to herein, do not include samples retained for purposes of stability testing. OSGP shall take preservation samples of raw materials and work-in-process materials as designated in writing by P&GP SARL. OSGP shall maintain these samples under cGMP conditions and review samples annually according to applicable regulations.
5.3 Stability Testing: OSGP shall conduct a stability-testing study for the agreed Products, which includes new studies annually to meet all applicable standards, package, and product changes for current marketed Products in the Territory and any stability studies required as a result of manufacturing deviation(s). The results of these testing studies shall be available to P&GP SARL, without charge, upon request.
5.4 P&GP SARL Testing Rights: fn> P&GP SARL shall have the right (but not the obligation) to perform analytical testing on the Products manufactured by OSGP pursuant to this Agreement.
5.5 Quality Disputes: Any claim by P&GP SARL that any of the Products at the time of delivery or release to P&GP SARL did not meet the Release Specifications or during their shelf life did not meet the Specifications must be made in writing to OSGP within thirty (30) days after discovery by P&GP SARL of the problem. In the event that P&GP SARL claims that any of the Products failed to meet the Release Specifications or the Specifications and OSGP disagrees with P&GP SARL's findings, OSGP shall test a retained sample from the same batch as the contested Product. P&GP SARL may, at its option and cost, have one of its personnel present for and actively participate in such testing. At P&GP SARL's discretion the testing may be done at a third party laboratory mutually agreed upon by the parties. The results of such third party testing shall be accepted by the two parties as final and binding. The cost of such analysis, and the cost of testing, shipment, replacement or disposal of disputed Product, shall be borne by the party whose position is not substantiated by the testing.
5.6 Customer Complaints: Each party shall, without delay, inform the other party of any customer complaints of which it becomes aware which may relate to the manufacturing of the Products.

In addition, OSGP agrees to comply with P&GP SARL Quality Standards as described in P&GP SARL's Quality Assurance Key Elements (QAKE) Assessment and all future revisions thereto. P&GP SARL shall use said QAKE Assessment periodically to audit OSGP's Norwich Plant and shall provide OSGP a written report following said audit. For all Products that OSGP produces for P&GP SARL and all facilities and systems supporting such production, should OSGP's audit result in a score less than 100%, OSGP shall develop and implement, and P&GP SARL shall approve in writing, a detailed plan to improve OSGP's systems. P&GP SARL will provide a copy of the QAKE manual to OSGP, which shall be incorporated as appropriate into OSGP's operating procedures used for production of Products covered by this Agreement. Should OSGP fail to meet the agreed-upon success criteria on a mutually acceptable time schedule, or fall below a QAKE score of 85%, P&GP SARL shall have the right to notify OSGP of their failure to perform per Article 8.
