CLAIMS
9.1 Notice of Claims.
In the event that any Bulk Drug is Non-Conforming Bulk Drug,
Genentech may reject the same by giving written notice thereof to Lonza:
(a) within seventy (70) days after the later of Genentech’s receipt of samples of such Batch
or the related Batch Record and other Batch documentation specified in Section 10.2.1 (e.g., Batch
Records, Lonza’s Release Documentation, Certificate of Testing, Certificate of Compliance, etc.),
Genentech will communicate in writing to Lonza their acceptance or rejection of the Batch. If the
decision is to reject the Batch, Genentech will have an additional five (5) days to write up and
communicate to Lonza its notice of rejection (for a total of 75 days) ; and
(b) in the case of a latent defect, within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after discovery
of such latent defect, but in no event later than one (1) year after delivery to Genentech’s
Designated Facility, which notice shall specify the manner in which such Bulk Drug fails to conform
to any warranty and shall be accompanied by any test results or reports evidencing such
non-conformity.
Alternatively, rather than initially issuing a notice of rejection under Section 9.1(a) or (b)
above, Genentech may give written notice to Lonza within the applicable time period set forth in
this Section 9.1 of a Genentech decision to investigate whether a potentially Non-Conforming
shipment should be rejected. Within thirty (30) days following such notice to investigate,
Genentech shall provide to Lonza, for Lonza’s review and comment, a written plan for investigating
and resolving such potentially Non-Conforming shipment, which investigation shall be completed in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Quality Agreement.
9.2 No Lonza Liability.
If it is determined by agreement of the Parties (or in the
absence of such agreement, by a mutually acceptable qualified independent Third Party whose fees
shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party) that either (i) there is no nonconformity, in which case
Genentech shall pay to Lonza the Purchase Price for such Bulk Drug, or (ii) there is nonconformity
but the nonconformity was not caused by Lonza (or its agents), in which case Lonza shall have no
liability to Genentech with respect thereto, and Genentech shall pay to Lonza the Purchase Price
for such Bulk Drug.
9.3 Lonza Liability; Replacement of Product.
If it is determined by agreement of the
Parties (or in the absence of such agreement, by a mutually acceptable qualified independent Third
Party whose fees shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party) that the nonconformity was caused by
Lonza (or its agents), at Genentech’s written request, Lonza shall as soon as practicable use
Commercially Reasonable Best Efforts to replace such Non-Conforming Bulk Drug with conforming Bulk
Drug, at no additional, cost to Genentech except for payment of the Purchase Price for the
replacement conforming Bulk Drug, which shall be payable as follows: if Genentech previously paid
the Purchase Price for the Non-Conforming Bulk Drug, then Lonza shall promptly and in any event
within thirty (30) days credit such amount to Genentech on the next invoice (or, at Genentech’s
option, Genentech may set off such amount against amounts owed to Lonza under this Agreement), and
Genentech shall pay the Purchase Price for the replacement conforming Bulk Drug; and, if Genentech
did not previously pay the Purchase Price for the Non-Conforming Bulk Drug, then Genentech shall
pay the Purchase Price for the replacement conforming Bulk Drug; provided, however, Genentech shall
have no obligation to pay Lonza for replacement Conforming Bulk Drug which is not delivered by a
date acceptable to
23
Table of Contents
Genentech (such date to be mutually agreed in writing by the parties following Genentech’s
written request to Lonza to replace such Non-Conforming Bulk Drug).
9.4 Cooperation in Investigations, Disposition of Non-Conforming Bulk Drug.
If Genentech desires to make a claim against Lonza with respect to and reject a Batch of
Non-Conforming Bulk Drug pursuant to Section 9.3, Genentech agrees that it shall not dispose of or
allow such Bulk Drug to be disposed of without written prior notification to Lonza. Disposition of
Non-Conforming Bulk Drug shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Quality
Agreement.

said Confidential Information that has become public, and portions remaining confidential shall
retain their status as Confidential Information.
18.4 Notification of Mandatory Disclosure.
18.4.1 Notification and Consultation. In the event that a Party (in such case, the
“Notifying Party”) believes it is required by applicable statute or regulation (including the rules
and regulations of any national stock exchange on which such Party’s securities are traded), or by
judicial or administrative process to disclose any part of the other Party’s (in such case, the
“Notified Party”) Confidential Information which is disclosed to it under this Agreement, the
Notifying Party shall (i) promptly notify the Notified Party of each such requirement and identify
the documents so required thereby, so that the Notified Party may seek an appropriate protective
order or other remedy and/or waive compliance by the Notifying Party with the provisions of this
Agreement, and (ii) consult with the Notified Party on the advisability of taking legally available
steps to resist or narrow the scope of such requirement.
18.4.2 Limited Disclosure. If, in the absence of such a protective order or such a
waiver by the Notified Party of the provisions of this Agreement, the Notifying Party is
nonetheless required by mandatory applicable law to disclose any part of the Notified Party’s

disclose such Confidential Information without liability under this Agreement, except that the
Notifying Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally
required.

of Confidential Information under this Agreement, the Tech Transfer Agreement, or the Quality
Agreement, or otherwise.
18.5.2 Maintenance of Confidentiality. Each Party shall use reasonable and customary
precautions to safeguard the other Party’s Confidential Information, including ensuring that all

Product or regulatory or compliance issues related to the Product, without first obtaining Lonza’s
prior written consent to each such utilization.
18.5.4 Equitable Relief. Each Party agrees that the other Party and their respective
Affiliates would be irreparably injured by a material breach of the confidentiality and nonuse
provisions of this Agreement by the breaching Party or by its employees or the employees of its
Affiliates, consultants, agents or contractors, that monetary remedies would be inadequate to
protect the other Party against any actual or threatened material breach of the provisions of this
Article 18 by the breaching Party or by its employees or the employees of its Affiliates,
consultants, agents or contractors, and, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies
otherwise available to the other Party, the breaching Party agrees, upon proof of any such actual
or threatened material breach, to the granting of equitable relief,
33

including injunctive relief and specific performance, in the other Party’s favor without proof
of actual damages. It is further understood and agreed that no failure or delay by either Party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

The provisions of this Article 18 shall
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
