In the event of API rejection under this Section 4.6.3, the Parties shall immediately endeavour to agree whether or not the delivery in question complies with the requirements set out in Section 3.3.2. If the Parties fail to agree, within thirty (30) days of such GSK’s rejection, the matter of whether any supply of API supplied by Unigene to GSK is defective shall be determined by an independent Third Party (including a
testing laboratory qualified to perform such testing using validated methods) approved in writing by both Parties and the decision of the independent Third Party shall be final and binding on the Parties. The cost of the testing and evaluation by the independent Third Party shall be borne (i) by Unigene if the API in question is ultimately found to fail to meet the Specifications, or if Unigene is found not to have complied with cGMP, the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, or if the API is adulterated or misbranded; or (ii) by GSK if the API in question is ultimately found to meet the Specifications and if Supplier is not found to have failed to comply with cGMP, the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, and the API is not adulterated or misbranded.

If the Parties agree or the independent Third Party finds that any delivery of the API does not meet the Specifications, or if Unigene has not complied with cGMP, the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, or the API is adulterated or misbranded, then Unigene shall at its sole expense promptly replace the delivery of API in question and promptly collect, at its own expense, any rejected API from GSK. If a delivery of API is found by the independent Third Party to meet the Specifications and Unigene is not found to have failed to comply with cGMP, the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, and the API is not adulterated or misbranded, GSK shall pay for such delivery of API in accordance with the payment provisions contained in this Agreement and the applicable SOW.

GSK shall make all contacts with regulatory authorities and shall be responsible for coordinating all of the necessary activities in connection with any such recall, withdrawal or field
correction, field alert report or comparable report, and shall make all statements to the media, including, but not limited to press releases and interviews for publication or broadcast. Unigene agrees to make no statement to the media or any regulatory authority unless required by law, and in such event, Unigene shall collaborate with GSK on the content of any such statement. GSK shall be responsible for all costs associated therewith unless the recall, withdrawal, or field correction, field alert report or comparable report is initiated because of Unigene’s failure to meet the Specifications, or if Unigene is found not to have complied with cGMP, the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, or if the API is adulterated or misbranded, in which case Unigene will pay for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and administrative
costs actually incurred by GSK to Third Parties for transportation and destruction of the recalled Licensed Product upon receipt of substantiation of such costs.

Access during Manufacturing. During the manufacturing of the API, Unigene shall allow GSK to have technical personnel observe any step of the development, manufacture and/or testing processes. Any observations will be coordinated with Unigene such as to not interfere with the integrity and quality of the Services being performed and respect obligations pertaining to protecting the confidentiality of other customers’ work at the Development Facility. Notwithstanding the above, the GSK right to observe the API manufacturing steps will not be considered a component of GSK receipt and acceptance of the API from Unigene. Any observations under this
Section 4.11 conducted by or on behalf of GSK shall not relieve Unigene from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. GSK shall treat all information obtained during any such observation as Unigene Confidential Information in accordance with the provisions of Section 9, and GSK shall not be required to enter into any other agreement in connection with conducting such observations.
