immediately upon discovery of such difficulty. PCI shall not conduct [ * ]
Production nor Store Stored Materials or Product at any other location other
than the Aviron Facility without the prior written approval of Aviron, and shall
keep all Product within the [ * ] Area. Before, during and after [ * ]

in undertaking Cost Reduction Measures, including, for example, the purchasing
of additional production equipment and provided such costs are agreed upon in
advance by the parties in writing, Aviron shall reimburse PCI for such amounts.
Any additional equipment paid for by Aviron under this Section 6.6(b) shall be
deemed Aviron Production Equipment.
6.7 Product Specifications; Testing.
(a) Certain of the Packaging Specifications and the [ * ]
Product Specifications are appended to this Agreement as Appendix 3 and Appendix
4, respectively. The Parties acknowledge that the Packaging Specifications set
forth in Appendix 3 may need to be refined and modified as the Parties gain
experience with [ * ] Production, testing and use of Product. Accordingly, the
Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify Appendix 3 from time to time
as the Parties' experience with [ * ] Production, testing and use of Product
warrant; and PCI further agrees that it will facilitate changes to Appendix 3
that are necessary or appropriate in light of FDA or other regulatory
requirements. The Parties agree to allocate on an equitable basis any special
costs of developing and implementing revised procedures. Aviron, at its
discretion but after consultation with PCI, may modify Appendix 4 and Aviron
will bear all costs of developing and implementing such revised procedures.
(b) Product supplied hereunder will conform to the Packaging
Specifications, and such conformance will be verified in accordance with the
testing standards and procedures specified therein. PCI will forward a sample of
each batch of Product to Aviron for testing and will supply Aviron with a
certificate of analysis ("CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS") confirming that such Product

required for FDA licensing of the Product. Aviron will hold the FDA and any
other Agency license(s) for the Product.

the event that the [ * ] Area is audited or inspected by an Agency, PCI will
notify Aviron immediately by telephone and will provide Aviron with prompt
written notice of such audit. Aviron will have, at its option, the opportunity
to observe the audit for inspection, and to jointly cooperate with PCI in any
response. PCI will also promptly provide Aviron with copies of any
correspondence or reports relating to such audit or inspection.
6.9 cGMP Compliance and QA Audits. Within ten days of Aviron's
written request, PCI shall supply Aviron with copies of PCI's manufacturing
records, including its batch records, for the purposes of assuring product
quality and compliance with the Packaging Specifications. Any found
discrepancies, other than discrepancies resulting from directions received from
Aviron or its representatives, will be reported to PCI and PCI will within
thirty (30) days correct said discrepancies to Aviron's reasonable satisfaction.
Failure to do so will give Aviron the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 10.5. Aviron's failure to exercise its right to audit the PCI
Facility will not represent a waiver of any future exercise of this right or of
any other rights under this Agreement, nor does it represent acceptance of any
conditions past or present that might exist or result from such conditions at
the PCI Facility. Aviron acknowledges that all copies of PCI's manufacturing
records shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 12.
6.10 Compliance with Laws. PCI shall comply with all applicable
present and future orders, regulations, requirements and laws of any and all
applicable, federal, state, and local authorities and Agencies, including

based on testing of a quality control sample, Aviron must give written notice to
PCI of Aviron's rejection of any delivery within (i) [ * ], or (ii) [ * ] after

sample upon the expiration of the Acceptance Period, and PCI shall be authorized
to make delivery of the Product.
(c) After notice of rejection/hold is given, Aviron shall
cooperate with PCI in determining whether rejection is necessary or justified
and, in situations in which the type of damage so warrants, provide PCI with the
allegedly non-conforming Product for PCI evaluation. PCI will evaluate the cause

by PCI in sufficient time for market distribution . All direct costs incurred by
Aviron in connection with acquiring, producing and delivering such quantities of
[ * ] Product shall be the sole responsibility of PCI, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 9.2. In accordance with the terms of Sections
6.6 and 6.7, PCI shall Manufacture enough Product to deliver to Aviron the
amount of Product originally ordered for the rejected delivery and shall do so
