The costs of the independent laboratory referred to above shall be borne by (i) WYETH if such laboratory determines that the Product conforms to the Specifications or (ii) XXXXXXXXX if such laboratory determines that the Product does not conform to the Specifications. If so requested by WYETH in writing, XXXXXXXXX shall promptly send a new Batch of Product (of similar quantity as to the amount of such Product being analyzed as set forth above) to WYETH. WYETH shall not be obligated to pay for any Product that such laboratory determines that does not conform to the Specifications.

To remove an essential use from the list, compelling evidence of any one of the following criteria must be submitted:
- 1.
- The
product is no longer being marketed or
- 2.
- After
January 1, 2005, FDA determines after consultation with an advisory committee and after an open public meeting that the product using an ODS no longer meets all the following criteria:
- a.
- Substantial
technical barriers exist to formulating the product without ODSs;
- b.
- The
product provides an unavailable important public health benefit; and
- c.
- Use
of the product does not release cumulatively significant amounts of ODSs into the atmosphere or the release is warranted in view of the unavailable important public health benefit or
- 3.
- For
an active moiety marketed as an ODS product with one NDA, at least one equivalent non-ODS product with the same active moiety is being marketed, supplies of the
non-ODS product are sufficient to meet patient need, adequate U.S. postmarketing use data are available for the non-ODS product, and patients who medically required the ODS
product are adequately served by the equivalent non-ODS product and other available products or
- 4.
- For an active moiety marketed as an ODS product with two or more NDAs, at least two equivalent non-ODS products with the same active moiety are being marketed, supplies of the non-ODS products are sufficient to meet patient need, adequate U.S. postmarketing use data are available for the non-ODS products, and patients who medically required the ODS product are adequately served by the equivalent non-ODS products and other available products.)
