(“Pfizer”) with respect to the quality assurance of the Product or Service, as defined in Appendix 1 (Definition of Product or Service), by Contractor for Pfizer.

If there are any direct conflicts between the terms of this Quality Agreement and the terms of the Primary Agreement, then (a) this Quality Agreement shall govern with respect to issues directly related to Product or Service quality matters, and (b) the Primary Agreement shall govern with respect to all other matters.
4.Changes to Quality Agreement
Changes to this Quality Agreement must be in writing and signed by the appropriate representatives of each Party before they are deemed effective. The Parties agree to change terms of this Quality Agreement that need to be revised in order to ensure the Product or Service continues to meet all (a) regulatory requirements of applicable jurisdictions and (b) Pfizer Requirements. If changes to this Quality Agreement are proposed, the proposing Party will communicate the proposed changes to the appropriate contact person at the other Party for review and approval. The appropriate contact person for each Party is listed in Appendix 2 (Contacts and Responsibilities).
5. Termination of Quality Agreement
Term. This Quality Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall terminate upon the later of (a) expiration or termination of the Primary Agreement and (b) the final date on which Contractor provides Products or Services to Pfizer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Products or Services cease to be provided by Contractor to Pfizer, this Quality Agreement may be terminated by either Party on providing thirty (30) calendar days’ advance written notice of termination to the other Party.

regulatory filings, etc. Also, those provisions of the Primary Agreement between the Parties shall not be affected by expiration or termination of this Quality Agreement, including, without limitation, any duties regarding confidentiality or non-disclosure.
6. Debarment
Contractor warrants and represents that it is not debarred under the Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992, 21 U.S.C. 335[a] (the “Generic Drug Enforcement Act”), and that it has not been convicted of a crime for which it could be debarred under the Generic Drug Enforcement Act. In connection with the Product (or provision of Services), Contractor further warrants, represents, and covenants that it shall not use in any capacity the services of any person debarred under the Generic Drug Enforcement Act, or convicted of a crime for which a person can be debarred under the Generic Drug Enforcement Act.

Quality-related disagreements between Contractor and Pfizer that are not resolved in the normal course of business shall be brought to the attention of the appropriate contact person for notices at Contractor and Pfizer, in writing. The appropriate contact persons are listed in Appendix 2 (Contacts and Responsibilities). Both Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to agree to a resolution of the disagreement and agree to work jointly to develop a strategy for such resolution. Contractor and Pfizer further agree to record such resolution in writing.
If resolution of a quality related disagreement cannot be reached using the process described immediately above, then the dispute resolution procedures in the Primary Agreement shall be applied to resolve such disagreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Quality Agreement to the contrary, Pfizer retains the sole and absolute right to determine Product release status. In the absence of a Primary Agreement or a dispute resolution procedure and in the case of a material non-compliance with this Quality Agreement, Pfizer reserves the right to terminate provision of the Product or the Services on providing thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Contractor.
8.Use of Third-Parties
Contractor may not subcontract or delegate any of its obligations under this Quality Agreement to any third-party (including, without limitation, any affiliate of Contractor) unless Pfizer provides prior written consent to Contractor for such subcontracting or delegation.
Before Pfizer grants any such written consent, Pfizer may require that Contractor enter into a written agreement with the third-party (“Third-Party Agreement”) to the satisfaction of Pfizer. This Third-Party Agreement shall define the respective quality responsibilities of Contractor and the third-party and shall provide for confidentiality and non-disclosure of all Pfizer confidential information requiring at least the same degree of protection for Pfizer’s confidential information as the obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure that exist between Contractor and Pfizer.
Execution Version
Contractor shall remain responsible for the acts and omissions of any permitted Sub-Contractors, as if those acts and omissions had been carried out by the Contractor itself and in particular, but without limitation, will enter into an appropriate written contract with such Sub-Contractors and ensure the qualification and auditing of such Sub-Contractors.
To the extent required by Pfizer’s internal policies and procedures or required by applicable laws, regulations or governmental authorities, Contractor shall ensure that Pfizer is granted the right to access each Sub-Contractor’s site(s), as if it were a Contractor site, in order to carry out audits and other assessments. At Pfizer’s request, a representative appointed by Contractor shall participate in such Sub-Contractor site visits.
