MASTER CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT
FOR PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL SERVICES
THIS MASTER CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT (together with any Work Orders, the “Agreement”) is made as of January 2, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a principal place of business at 000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00, Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (Tel: 000-000-0000) (“Portola”) and PPD Development, LP, a Texas Limited Partnership, with a principal office at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (Tel: 000-000-0000) (“Service Provider”).
1. Background and Agreement Structure. From time to time, Portola may want Service Provider to provide certain preclinical and clinical research services (the “Services”). Service Provider provides preclinical analytical services and clinical research services for the development of pharmaceutical products, and acts as a contract research organization to administer human clinical trials and perform pharmacokinetic data management and statistical services in connection with those trials. Portola is sponsoring human clinical trials (each, a “Study”) of its proprietary compound(s) (each, a “Study Drug”) in accordance with clinical research protocol(s) (each, a “Protocol”). This Agreement contains general terms and conditions under which Portola would engage Service Provider and under which Service Provider would provide Services. Portola and Service Provider must complete and execute a work order, project order or statement of work, (each, a “Work Order”) before any Services are provided. For non-clinical services, each Work Order will include, at a minimum, the information relating to the specific Services outlined in the sample Work Order attached as Appendix A. For clinical services, each Work Order will include, at a minimum, the information relating to the specific Services outlined in the sample Work Order attached as Appendix B. However, neither Portola nor Service Provider is obligated to execute any Work Order. Once executed, a Work Order becomes part of this Agreement, although the terms in a Work Order will govern only Services described in that Work Order. A Work Order may not change any term in this Agreement unless the Work Order clearly and specifically states that it is modifying the Agreement and provides reference to the term of this Agreement that is being modified, however, terms may be modified within a Work Order which will be in effect for that specific Work Order and that Work Order only.
2. | Services. |
2.1 | Provision of Services. Service Provider agrees to provide all Services identified in any Work Order: (a) promptly, (b) at such times and at such places as described in the applicable Work Order, (c) within the time period specified in the applicable Work Order, and (d) in accordance with the highest prevailing industry standards and practices for the performance of similar services. For each Work Order, Service Provider will designate a “Project Leader” who will be available for frequent communications with Portola regarding the Services provided under that Work Order. For each Work Order, Portola will designate a “Representative” who will be the point of contact for the Project Leader. |
2.2 | Audits. Provided Portola provides reasonable advance notice to Service Provider [*], with [*], Service Provider will allow, at normal business hours and at mutually agreeable times (a) Portola employees and representatives (representatives may include entities with whom Portola has license |
agreements or marketing and / or development collaborations to which the Services are related), provided that said representatives who in Service Provider’s discretion, not to be unreasonably withheld, are not competitors of Service Provider (a competitor meaning an entity that is in the primary business of providing services for which Portola has engaged Service Provider), and (b) representatives of regulatory agencies, to review Service Provider’s standard operating procedures and records, including financial records, pertaining to the Services and to inspect the facilities used to render the Services under the applicable Work Order. In addition, the Project Leader and Representative and their designees will participate in meetings to review performance of the Services and to coordinate such Services as necessary. The Representative, or the Representative’s designee, will have access at reasonable times to observe the Services in progress or review any and all records generated as a result of Service Provider’s performance of the Services. Any Representative designee who is not an employee of Portola shall execute a confidentiality agreement with Service Provider prior to any such inspection/audit/review. |
2.3 | Standard Operating Procedures. Service Provider will, upon request, supply copies to Portola of all standard operating procedures of Service Provider relevant to the Services rendered under a Work Order. |
2.4 | Regulatory Contacts. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Portola will be solely responsible for all contacts and communications with any regulatory authorities with respect to matters relating to any of the Services. Service Provider will notify Portola promptly, and in no event later than one (1) day, after Service Provider receives any contact or communication from any regulatory authority directly relating in any way to the Services and will provide Portola with copies of any such communication within one (1) day of receipt of such communication by Service Provider. Service Provider will consult with Portola regarding the response to any inquiry or observation from any regulatory authority relating in any way to the Services and will allow Portola to participate in any further contacts or communications relating to the Services. Service Provider will comply with all reasonable requests and take into consideration all comments by Portola with respect to all contacts and communications with any regulatory authority relating in any way to the Services. |
2.5 | Subcontracting. Service Provider may subcontract the performance of certain portions of the Services, with Portola’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, to an Affiliate (defined below) of Service Provider or to a qualified third party; provided, that (a) Service Provider notifies Portola in writing of the Affiliate or proposed subcontractor and identifies the specific Services to be performed by such Affiliate or subcontractor, (b) such Affiliate or subcontractor performs those Services in a manner consistent with the terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement, and (c) Service Provider remains liable for the performance of such Affiliate or subcontractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider will not be liable for the performance of any subcontractor that is required to be used by Portola or any couriers, labeling, shipping and manufacturing entities. “Affiliate” means, with respect to each party to this Agreement, any corporation, company, partnership, joint venture and/or firm which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with that party. As used in this Section 2.5, “control” means (i) in the case of corporate entities, direct or indirect ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the stock or shares having the right to vote for the election of directors (or such lesser percentage that is the maximum allowed to be owned by a foreign corporation in a particular jurisdiction), and (ii) in the case of non-corporate entities, the direct or indirect power to manage, direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the non-corporate entity or the power to elect at least fifty percent (50%) of the members of the governing body of such non-corporate entity. |
2.6 | Change Orders. If the scope of work under a Work Order changes, then the applicable Work Order may be amended as provided in this Section 2.6. If a required modification to a Work Order is identified by Portola or by Service Provider, the identifying party will notify the other party in writing as soon as reasonably possible. Within fifteen (15) business days of receiving or sending such notice, |
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Page 2 of 22
Service Provider will provide Portola with a change order containing a description of the required modifications and their effect on the scope, fees and timelines specified in the Work Order, which change order must be substantially in the form of the sample change order attached hereto as Appendix C (each, a “Change Order”). No Change Order will be effective unless and until it has been signed by an authorized representative of each party. If Portola does not approve such Change Order, then the parties will use reasonable efforts to agree on a Change Order that is mutually acceptable. If practicable, Service Provider will continue to provide Services under the existing Work Order during any such negotiations, provided such efforts would facilitate the completion of the work envisioned in the proposed Change Order, but will not commence work in accordance with the Change Order until it is authorized in writing by Portola. Nothing in this Section 2.6 will limit Portola’s right to terminate the affected Work Order or this Agreement under Section 8. For any Change Order that affects the scope of the regulatory obligations that have been transferred to Service Provider, Service Provider and Portola will execute a corresponding amendment to the Transfer of Obligations Form. Portola will file such amendment where appropriate, or as required by applicable law or regulation. |
2.7 | Portola Cooperation. Portola will cooperate with Service Provider in providing information to Service Provider, taking action and executing documents, as appropriate, to achieve the objectives of this Agreement. Portola acknowledges and agrees that Service Provider’s performance under this Agreement is dependent on Portola’s timely and effective cooperation with Service Provider. Accordingly, Portola acknowledges that any delay by Portola may result in Service Provider being released from an obligation or schedule deadline or in Portola having to pay extra fees in order for Service Provider to meet a specific obligation or deadline despite the delay. Portola shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing the performance of its obligations hereunder and the subject matter of this Agreement, including without limitation, the Deliverables (as defined below). |
2.8 | Data Verification and Reports. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Work Order, a copy of all raw data, databases and analytical reports of the data resulting from the Services will be provided to Portola in a format mutually agreed upon by Portola and Service Provider, compatible with relevant existing databases of Portola and consistent with the Work Order. Service Provider will verify the accuracy of the data contained in all databases and/or reports provided by it against the raw data and will attach a signed statement attesting to such verification to each database and/or report provided to Portola. |
2.9 | Transfer or Delegation of Obligations. Service Provider will be responsible for the obligations of a sponsor of a clinical study transferred or delegated by Portola to Service Provider in Service Provider’s role as the designated contract research organization and as described in a document titled “The Transfer of Obligations of Client Under 21 CFR Subpart D,” (or other applicable document) which will be included in a Work Order where appropriate. Any transfer of obligations will be construed as a transfer of those obligations described therein in accordance with 21 United States Code of Federal Regulations §312.52 or other applicable regulation. |
2.10 | Key Service Provider Personnel. For Services which involve administration and/or monitoring of a Study on behalf of Portola, Service Provider guarantees that the key Service Provider Personnel (the “Key Service Provider Personnel”) identified and mutually agreed upon in a particular Work Order will remain assigned to the Study covered by such Work Order as long as the individuals remain employed by Service Provider, unless (a) an individual identified as Key Service Provider Personnel is unavailable for reasons of disability, death, maternity or paternity leave, leave of absence, demotion, illness, promotion or other reasons not reasonably within Service Provider’s control, or (b) Portola requests, or has requested in connection with an earlier Study, the replacement of any such Key Service Provider Personnel who are not performing to Portola’s standards. Service Provider will work with Portola in periodically reviewing the performance of the Key Service Provider Personnel and will seek to remedy any underperformance. Service Provider will work with Portola to promptly select a replacement should any Key Service Provider Personnel resign or become otherwise unavailable as |
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Page 3 of 22
specified above or should Portola request the replacement of such Key Service Provider Personnel, and Portola will have the right to approve the replacement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If a change of a Key Service Provider Personnel becomes necessary due to a Key Service Provider Personnel’s unavailability or his or her inability to perform or meet commercially reasonable standards of performance, the replacement personnel will be adequately trained by Service Provider on the applicable protocol, at Service Provider’s expense, in advance of the replacement, and Service Provider will bear all reasonable costs, including without limitation costs due to delays caused by the replacement. If a change of a Key Service Provider Personnel is requested by Portola and is not for any of the reasons described in the previous sentence, Portola shall be responsible for Service Provider’s reasonable costs for training replacement personnel on the applicable Protocol and the parties will mutually agree on a timeline for such replacement. Service Provider shall not be responsible for any delays in meeting Study timelines to the extent such delays are solely the result of a change in Key Service Provider Personnel requested by Portola in accordance with the foregoing sentence. |
2.11 | Personnel Retention. If, after Service Provider is authorized to commence Services under a Work Order, such Services are delayed at the request of Portola for more than [*] and such request for delay is based solely on or results solely from causes which are beyond the control of Service Provider, Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to re-allocate the personnel resources assigned to the Services during the delay to minimize Portola’s costs of delay. If, however, Portola desires for Service Provider to keep Key Service Provider Personnel assigned to such Services during such delay period, Portola agrees that for the duration of the delay Portola will pay a fee calculated on an FTE-day basis for each such Key Service Provider Personnel it wishes to remain assigned to the Services. Said personnel fees shall be invoiced by Service Provider on a monthly basis, and shall be due and payable by Portola within [*] of its receipt of invoice. |
2.12 | Serious Adverse Event and Medical Management Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Service Provider and Portola agree upon a serious adverse event and medical management plan relating to a specific Study (“SMMP”), the parties shall comply with the terms and conditions of any such SMMP. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the SMMP and the relevant Work Order, the terms and conditions of the SMMP shall control. Sponsor shall be responsible for any additional costs associated with compliance with the SMMP. |
2.13 | MedDRA and WHODrug Dictonary License. The parties acknowledge that MedDRA and Uppsala Monitoring Centre product licenses are required by all parties who wish to distribute or receive MedDRA or WHODrug dictionary terminology. Each party represents and warrants that it possesses a current MedDRA and/or Uppsala Monitoring Centre product license. In the event Portola requests that Service Provider perform services which require Service Provider to distribute MedDRA terminology or WHODrug dictionary to third parties, Portola shall be responsible for ensuring that all such third parties possess the necessary MedDRA and/or Uppsala Monitoring Centre product licenses. |
2.14 | Patient Enrollment. Enrollment numbers are good faith estimates and Service Provider shall exercise all reasonable diligence to meet such enrollment estimates. |
2.15 | Final Protocol. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both parties, the parties agree that Portola shall be solely responsible for the final review, approval and adoption of the Protocol and Service Provider shall not be liable for such Protocol. For clarity, Service Provider shall make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Portola of any errors or inaccuracies of which it becomes aware. |

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

authority or other regulatory authority, and provide Portola with cooperation and assistance in relation to any such communication. Service Provider shall be entitled to charge Portola for such assistance, at its usual hourly rate, unless the communication relates to a breach or violation by Service Provider or a Service Provider Affiliate of its obligations under this Section 7. However, Service Provider and Portola recognize that any fees charged to the requesting party must comply with Applicable Data Privacy Laws. |
7.7 | Security Breaches. If Service Provider becomes aware of any breach of an Applicable Data Privacy Law relating to the Services, then it shall promptly notify Portola and, if requested, assist Portola in meeting any obligations under Applicable Data Privacy Law to notify Data Subjects, regulatory authorities or other required parties. Service Provider shall be entitled to charge Portola for such assistance, at its usual hourly rate, unless Service Provider or a Service Provider Affiliate was solely responsible for such breach. |
7.8 | Data Transfers. Service Provider shall only Process or otherwise transfer Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (member states of the European Union plus, Norway, Iceland & Liechtenstein) as set out in this Agreement, any Work Order, Protocol, SOP or SMMP or with the prior consent of Portola. |
8. | Indemnification, Insurance and Liability. |
8.1 | Indemnification by Service Provider. Service Provider agrees to indemnify Portola and its directors, officers, and employees (collectively, the “Portola Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, cost, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, “Losses”) they may suffer in connection with any claim or lawsuit brought by a third party arising from a Service Provider Indemnitee’s (defined below) or Service Provider’s approved subcontractors’ (a) negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider’s obligation to indemnify the Portola Indemnitees will be proportionally reduced to the extent that such Losses fall within Portola’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.2 below. |
8.2 | Indemnification by Portola. Portola agrees to indemnify Service Provider and its directors, officers, and employees (collectively, the “Service Provider Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses they may suffer in connection with any claim or lawsuit brought by a third party arising from (a) personal injury, or death of a Study subject caused by (i) any Study Drug or other materials supplied by Portola or anyone acting on Portola’s behalf that is dispensed in strict accordance with the relevant Protocol and Portola’s written instructions, (ii) any non-standard of care procedure required by the Protocol, (b) any deviations from the applicable Protocol necessary to preserve the health, safety and welfare of the Study subjects that meets all applicable standards of care, (c) any claims for patent infringement related to a Study Drug, compound or other materials supplied by Portola, or anyone acting on Portola’s behalf, to Service Provider in connection with a Study, provided Service Provider Indemnitee has acted in strict compliance with the relevant Protocol and Portola’s instructions, (d) after regulatory approval of a Study Drug that was the subject of the Services, personal injury or death caused by such Study Drug, or (e) a Portola Indemnitees’ use of the Deliverables, negligence, willful misconduct, or material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Portola’s obligation to indemnify the Service Provider Indemnitees will be proportionally reduced to the extent that such Losses fall within Service Provider’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.1 above. |
8.3 | Indemnification Procedures. Each party agrees to notify the other party within fifteen (15) days of receipt of any claims made for which the other party might be liable under Section 8.1 or 8.2, as the case may be. The indemnifying party will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, negotiate, and settle such claims. The indemnified party will be entitled to participate in the |
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Page 10 of 22
defense of such matter and to employ counsel at its expense to assist therein; provided, however, that if the indemnifying party elects to defend the indemnified party, the indemnifying party will have final decision-making authority regarding all aspects of the defense of any claim. The party seeking indemnification will provide the indemnifying party with such information and assistance as the indemnifying party may reasonably request, at the expense of the indemnifying party. Neither party will be responsible or bound by any settlement of any claim or suit made without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnified party will not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent. If a settlement contains an absolute waiver of liability for the indemnified party, and each party has acted in compliance with the requirements of this Section 8.3, then the indemnified party’s consent will be deemed given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party will agree to settle any claim on such terms or conditions as would impair the other party’s ability or right to research, develop, manufacture, market, sell or otherwise use the Study Drug, or as would impair a party’s ability, right or obligation to perform its obligations under this Agreement. |
8.4 | Insurance. Portola and Service Provider will each undertake to purchase and maintain insurance of such types and amounts reasonably adequate to cover any liabilities arising out of its obligations hereunder. Portola further undertakes to purchase and maintain insurance of such types and amounts reasonably adequate (including but not limited to that required by law) to cover any liabilities arising in relation to all clinical trials contracted to Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement. |
Portola and Service Provider will each undertake, upon request by the other party, to provide the other party a certificate (or certificates) of insurance setting forth the liability limits, exclusions and deductibles of the insurance such party is required to carry pursuant to this Agreement.
8.5 | Liability. |
(a) | For Failure to Perform. In the event that the Services provided hereunder (or any portion thereof) do not meet the specifications or other performance criteria agreed to by Service Provider and Portola in a Work Order, then Service Provider will, at Portola’s first option, promptly (i) re-perform such Services at Service Provider’s cost, or (ii) refund to Portola all amounts paid by Portola to Service Provider in connection with such Services. |
(b) | Limitation. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EXCEPT AS A RESULT OF A BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-USE OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 6. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.5 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY WORK ORDER, THE TOTAL LIABILITY, IN THE AGGREGATE, OF [*] AND ITS AGENTS, AND ANY OF THEM, TO [*] AND ANYONE CLAIMING BY OR THROUGH [*], FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, COSTS OR DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS AND EXPERT-WITNESS FEES AND COSTS OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER OR CLAIMS EXPENSES RESULTING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY WORK ORDER FROM ANY CAUSE OR CAUSES SHALL NOT EXCEED [*] OR [*] THE [*] OR [*], WHICH IS OR ARE [*]. IT IS INTENDED THAT THIS LIMITATION APPLY TO ANY AND ALL LIABILITY OR CAUSE OF ACTION HOWEVER ALLEGED OR ARISING EXCEPT FOR THE PARTIES’ INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2. |

8.6 | Each party agrees that its obligations hereunder are necessary and reasonable in order to protect the other party and the other party’s business, and expressly agrees that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate the other party for any breach of the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, each party agrees and acknowledges that any such violation or threatened violation may cause irreparable injury to the other party, and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, the other party shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the threatened breach of this Agreement or a Work Order or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages. |

APPENDIX D
1. | Currency Management. |
a) | Direct Fees: All Direct Fees owed to CRO for Services performed under this Agreement or any Schedule shall generally be invoiced to and paid by Portola in $ USD for Services performed in the North America (NA), Latin America (LA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions and invoiced to and paid by Portola in € Euros for Services performed in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); the “Regional Contract Currency/Currencies”. |
Should Portola wish to be invoiced in $ USD for Services performed in EMEA, CRO shall specify in the proposal and the contract the estimated exchange rate (“Exchange Rate”) used to prepare the budget or payment schedule for such Project Addendum. This Exchange Rate will be the one used for the preparation of each invoice for Services and payment by Portola. The “Spot Rate” for purposes of reconciliation, shall mean the actual spot rate in the Wall Street Journal at the close of the day before the date on which the invoice is raised. At the conclusion of each calendar year, a reconciliation shall be undertaken.
If requested by Portola, CRO shall compare the USD total of the invoices billed to Portola that year at the Exchange Rate with the USD total of those same invoices when converted using the Spot Rate. In the event the comparison demonstrates that the difference in such amounts is [*] or more or is greater than USD $[*] such difference shall be [*] with the difference invoiced or credited, as the case may be, to Portola (an example of which follows below). The reconciliation invoice or credit note will be issued by CRO in $ USD. The process of reconciliation is not cumulative but shall be conducted on a calendar year basis and completed by the end of March in the subsequent year.
Shared Reconciliation Examples:
• | FX Variance is $[*] representing [*] of the total FX component of the annual invoicing: |
• | An adjustment (cash) is made between Portola and CRO for $[*] being the excess of the variance over $[*] ($[*] for $[*]) |
• | FX Variance is $[*] representing [*] of the total FX component of the annual invoicing: |
• | An adjustment (cash) is made between Portola and CRO for $[*] being the excess of the variance over [*] ($[*] for $[*]) |
• | FX Variance is $[*] representing [*] of the total FX component of the annual invoicing: |
• | No adjustment is required |
b) | Pass Through Costs: Where CRO incurs Pass Through Costs in a currency other than $ USD in NA, LA or APAC and other than € Euros in EMEA, the Regional Contract Currency/Currencies, CRO shall, for Portola invoicing and payment purposes, convert such costs to the applicable Regional Contract Currency based on an average exchange rate between the local currency and the regional Contract Currency for the month in which such costs were incurred. |
c) | Investigator Fees: CRO shall pay investigator fees in the currency specified in the investigator agreements. For Portola invoicing and payment purposes, CRO shall convert all investigator fees that are to be paid in a currency other than the Regional Contract Currency to the Regional Contract Currency. The conversion to the Regional Contract Currency shall be based on an average exchange rate between the currency specified in an investigator agreement and the Regional Contract Currency |
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Page 21 of 22
for the month prior to the month the Portola invoice is raised. All amounts invoiced to Portola will be based upon an accrual of costs owed to investigators. At the end of the project a reconciliation will be completed between the estimated exchange rate used for the purposes of billing on the basis of the accrued costs versus the exchange rate when the actual payment is made to the sites, and any variation will be billed or credited to Portola as applicable. |
