Materials. In addition, Alkermes and Genentech shall agree on mutually
acceptable inventory procedures to assure compliance with FDA and financial
auditing requirements.
SECTION 3: PURCHASE ORDERS; PROCESSING
3.1 GENENTECH SUPPLY FORECAST AND PROCESSING PLAN.
(a) SUPPLY FORECAST. At least thirty (30) days prior to the start of each
calendar [***], Genentech will provide Alkermes with Genentech's good faith
non-binding written projection of Processing for which Alkermes shall be
responsible for the next [***], including estimates of the Genentech Materials
to be delivered to Alkermes during such period and the nature of the Processing
to be performed, which rolling [***] forecast, as amended from time to time by
Genentech, shall be the "SUPPLY FORECAST". Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
during any given calendar [***] Genentech reasonably believes that the most
recently delivered Supply Forecast is no longer an accurate projection,
Genentech shall promptly inform Alkermes as to the circumstances that have
changed and if necessary, deliver a new Supply Forecast with corrected
projections.
(b) PROCESSING PLAN. Based on factors including anticipated demand, the
Supply Forecast, the availability of Alkermes' Processing capacity in the
Facilities and comparable
5
6
THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH "*" AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
Alkermes facilities, changes in Batch sizes, Dosage Containers and/or
Specifications, and anticipated changes in any of the foregoing, on an on-going
basis during the Term, Genentech no later than sixty (60) days before the start
of each calendar [***] will provide Alkermes with a written processing plan
(each, a "PROCESSING PLAN") for [***]. Among other things, each Processing Plan
shall specify the Genentech Materials to be delivered to Alkermes during the
period covered by such Processing Plan, the amount of Bulk Product (expressed in
kilograms) to be delivered to Alkermes for Processing, the nature of the
Processing to be performed (including whether Bulk Product should be Processed
into Finished Product or Finished Form, the number of Dosage Containers (vials)
of each that Genentech requests to be delivered, and the amount of material, by
weight, to be placed in such Dosage Containers), and the approximate timing of
shipment of Finished Form and/or Finished Product. [***] Each Processing Plan
shall be binding as to the first [***] and non-binding as to the next [***]. In
the event that Genentech delivers a Processing Plan to Alkermes that widely
diverges (unless agreed to by the parties taking into account then current
circumstances, divergences of greater than [***] shall be considered "wide"
divergences) from the Processing Plan delivered the previous [***] in terms of
the amount of Bulk Product that Genentech will send to Alkermes or the amount of
Finished Form or Finished Product to be Processed, such that it will not have
the capacity to accommodate such Processing, Alkermes shall promptly notify
Genentech, and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve
such capacity issue. Within twenty (20) days of receipt of each Processing Plan,
Alkermes will acknowledge it in writing, thereby committing for Processing the
Facilities, all Dedicated Equipment and Genentech Equipment at the Facilities
used in Processing, sufficient appropriately trained Alkermes personnel and all
other Alkermes resources required under this Agreement for Processing. The
Parties may mutually agree in writing to amend a Processing Plan, based on
factors including those listed in this SECTION 3.1(b). If both Parties agree, an
alternative method of providing Processing Plans may be used in which the demand
for Finished Form or Finished Product could take into account more than one
[***].
3.2 PURCHASE ORDERS; CHANGE ORDERS AND BINDING AMOUNT. On an on-going
basis, Genentech will order Processing under each Processing Plan pursuant to
individual purchase orders specifying the number of Dosage Containers (vials) of
Finished Form or Finished Product, as the case may be, that Genentech requests
to be delivered, the number of Dosage Containers that should be included in each
Batch, the amount of material, by weight, to be placed in such Dosage
Containers, and shipping instructions. Genentech will submit each purchase order
to Alkermes at least forty-five (45) days in advance of the first desired
shipping date listed on the purchase order, and, except as set forth below,
Alkermes shall ship Finished Form and Finished Product, as the case may be,
together with Alkermes' certificate of analysis and certificate of compliance,
in conformance with the shipping dates set forth in such purchase orders.
Alkermes may suggest alternative shipping date(s) so long as they satisfy
Genentech's supply requirements under the Processing Plan, and the Parties will
confirm any rescheduled shipping date(s) in writing. Genentech may modify a
purchase order only by submitting a written change order to Alkermes at least
thirty (30) days in advance of the relevant shipping date covered by the change
order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Alkermes shall use reasonable efforts to
accommodate a change order submitted less than thirty (30) days in advance of
such shipping date. The aggregate amount of Finished Product and Finished Form
ordered by Genentech in all purchase orders with delivery dates in a given [***]
must be within [***] of the amount forecasted to be
6
7

REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH "*" AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
ordered in the binding Processing Plan for such [***], unless the divergence in
question is less than [***] Dosage Containers. If such aggregate amount is more
than [***] under such forecasted amount and the difference is greater than [***]
Dosage Containers, Alkermes will notify Genentech who will have 15 days to
designate the dosage form, number of Dosage Containers and the shipping
instructions to make up the difference. If Alkermes does not receive such
instructions within 15 days of its notice to Genentech, then Alkermes will ship
to Genentech that amount of Finished Form and/or Finished Product, in the dosage
form that Alkermes chooses to make up such difference.
3.3 DEGREE OF EFFORT; UNPLANNED DELAY OR ELIMINATION OF PROCESSING. Each
Party will use commercially reasonable best efforts to meet each Processing Plan
and purchase orders (subject to change orders) and, subject to the other terms
of this Agreement, Alkermes will Process a given Campaign until it has
completely Processed each Batch within such Campaign. Alkermes will provide
Genentech with as much advance notice as possible (and will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to provide at least fifteen (15) days' advance written notice
where possible) if Alkermes determines that any Processing will be delayed or
eliminated for any reason. Thereafter, the Parties agree to use their
commercially reasonable efforts to provide the maximum possible amount of
conforming Finished Product to Genentech, subject to SECTION 4.3.
3.4 WARRANTIES. Each Party warrants and covenants that it will perform all
its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and all
applicable laws and regulations. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Genentech warrants and covenants that all Genentech Materials will
meet applicable Specifications and will have been produced in compliance with
cGMPs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Alkermes warrants and
covenants that (i) Finished Form or Finished Product that it has Processed, and
all Alkermes Materials, will meet the Specifications and is expected to do so
over their approved shelf life, as the case may be, based on stability trend
results; (ii) Finished Form or Finished Product that it has Processed, and all
Alkermes Materials, will have been produced in compliance with applicable SOPs,
and with FDA and European Union cGMPs and validated parameters demonstrated to
meet sterility assurance levels required for an aseptically processed sterile
parenteral product; (iii) Finished Form or Finished Product that it has
Processed, and all Alkermes Materials, shall conform to the requirements set
forth in the applicable New Drug Application and Marketing Authorization
Application; (iv) [***] and (v) that it will store and handle all Genentech
Materials, Dedicated Equipment and Genentech Equipment in accordance with the
relevant procedures. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 3.4, THE PARTIES MAKE NO
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
3.5 GENENTECH INSPECTION AND PROCESSING INPUT. During the Term, Genentech
representatives may inspect the Facilities during regular business hours.
Before, during and after each Campaign, Genentech may base a reasonable number
of Genentech representatives (currently estimated to be 2 people) at the
Facilities to oversee Processing, and Alkermes will provide the Genentech
representatives with work space and access to telephone, facsimile and
electronic mail services at Alkermes as reasonably necessary. Alkermes shall
consult regularly with the Genentech representatives, and will not unreasonably
reject suggestions or recommendations made by such representatives in writing
(or orally if promptly confirmed in writing) relating to the Processing.
Alkermes will promptly correct any aspect of the Alkermes Materials, the
Genentech Equipment or Dedicated Equipment located at Alkermes, any other
machinery, equipment or utilities at Alkermes used in Processing or the
Processing itself that Genentech, acting in good faith, notifies Alkermes in
writing (or orally if confirmed in

writing) is not in compliance with this Agreement (including the Specifications)
or applicable laws and regulations (including cGMPs). Any such corrections will
be performed in compliance with the applicable change control SOP (CS-010-033)
where appropriate.
3.6 ALKERMES MODIFICATIONS; SAFETY. Except as required in SECTION 3.5 or
the Specifications or with Genentech's prior written consent, Alkermes will not
modify the Genentech Equipment or Dedicated Equipment at all, and Alkermes will
not modify the Facilities, plant operating procedures or any machinery,
equipment or utilities at Alkermes used in Processing if it would directly
affect Processing or the then current Processing Plan. Before making any such
change, Alkermes will give Genentech advance written notice of the nature and
effective date of such change per applicable standard operating procedures (SOP
CS-010-033; Change Control). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree to
collaborate in good faith to modify the equipment, plant operating procedures or
machinery [***], and the Parties agree not to unreasonably withhold approval of
implementation of any such modifications or improvements, although this good
faith collaboration shall not change the financial responsibilities of the
Parties set forth herein or in the License Agreement. In the event of a conflict
between the Specifications and Alkermes' plant operating procedures, the
Specifications will control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any change to the
Facilities, machinery, equipment, utilities or the operating procedures
necessary to protect the immediate safety of Alkermes' employees will be
considered an "emergency change" as described in SOP CS-010-033; change control.
3.7 PROCESSING DEVIATIONS. In the event that Alkermes encounters any
significant problem with or deviation from its standard operating procedures,
plant operating procedures or the Specifications, or recognizes an unexpected
need for such a deviation, during a Campaign, Alkermes will notify Genentech
immediately and will suspend Processing if such suspension does not adversely
affect ongoing Processing or employee safety. Genentech shall respond as
promptly as is reasonably practicable. Any changes to the process documentation
shall be subject to Genentech review and approval, as set forth in SOP
CS-010-033.
SECTION 4: LIABILITY
4.1 TESTING AND REJECTION OF FINISHED PRODUCT. Alkermes will provide
Genentech, accompanying each delivery of Finished Form and/or Finished Product
delivered pursuant to Section 3.2, Alkermes' written certificate of analysis and
certificate of compliance, certifying that the Finished Form or Finished Product
included in such delivery complies with the Specifications. No later than
sixty-five (65) days after Genentech's or Genentech's Distributor's receipt of
delivered Finished Product or Finished Form, as the case may be, Genentech or
Genentech's Distributor will test the Finished Product or Finished Form, as the
case may be, and will notify Alkermes of any claim that any such Finished
Product or Finished Form, as the case may be, does not conform with the
Specifications or the purchase order. Such notice shall be in
8
9

REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH "*" AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
writing and shall indicate the non-conforming characteristics of the Finished
Form or Finished Product, as the case may be. If Genentech or Genentech's
Distributor does not notify Alkermes of non-conformity within such sixty-five
(65)-day period, such Finished Form or Finished Product shall be deemed accepted
and Alkermes shall be released from any claim of non-conformity. If Genentech or
Genentech's Distributor does notify Alkermes of non-conformity within such
sixty-five (65)-day period, the appropriate personnel at the Parties shall in
good faith investigate and attempt to resolve such non-conformity for a period
of sixty-five (65) days. In the event that Genentech or Genentech's Distributor
claim that the Finished Form or Finished Product has not met the Specifications
and Alkermes does not agree after such sixty-five (65)-day period, the Parties
will mutually agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) upon a
third party to review records, test data and other relevant information and
ascertain responsibility. Such third party shall execute an appropriate
Confidentiality Agreement approved in form and substance by Alkermes and
Genentech. The third party's findings will be binding on both Parties, and the
costs of such third-party testing and review will be borne by the Party found
responsible.
4.2 DETERMINATION OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR NON-CONFORMING FINISHED FORM OR
FINISHED PRODUCT. Alkermes will be responsible for non-conforming Finished Form
or Finished Product on account of Alkermes' breach of its obligations in Section
3.4 (and Section 2.1(a) only with regard to Alkermes obligation to perform
Processing). Genentech will be responsible for non-conforming Finished Form or
Finished Product on account of Genentech's breach of its obligations in Sections
2.1(b) or 3.4. If the Parties, after good faith negotiation, cannot agree that
the Finished Form or Finished Product is non-conforming (for example, there is
disagreement whether it was produced in accordance with applicable SOPs or
cGMPs) or upon which Party is responsible for non-conforming Finished Form,
Finished Product or Lost Finished Product (as defined below), the Parties will
mutually agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) upon a third
party to review records, test data and other relevant information and ascertain
conformity and/or responsibility. Such third party shall execute an appropriate
Confidentiality Agreement approved in form and substance by Alkermes and
Genentech. The third party's findings will be binding on both Parties, and the
costs of such third-party testing and review will be borne by the Party found
responsible.
4.3 LOST FINISHED FORM AND FINISHED PRODUCT. For purposes of this
Agreement and subject to SECTION 8.2, Finished Form and Finished Product is
considered lost if the Processing of Bulk Product is not performed for any
reason (including, without limitation, due to the ruin, destruction or
expiration of such Bulk Product, but not including instances where Alkermes is
excused from making changes to a purchase order under Section 3.2), or if Bulk
Product is actually Processed into Finished Form or Finished Product but such
Finished Form or Finished Product is determined to be non-conforming under
SECTION 4.1 or SECTION 4.2 (in each case, "LOST FINISHED PRODUCT"); provided,
however, that Lost Finished Product will not include Finished Form or Finished
Product determined to be non-conforming for any reason other than as set forth
in SECTION 4.2. If any Lost Finished Product occurs for any reason, Alkermes
will Process an amount of Finished Form or Finished Product, as the case may be,
equivalent to the amount of Lost Finished Product, and will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to do so on whatever timing basis (regular or priority) is
necessary to continue to meet Genentech's or Genentech's
9
10

REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH "*" AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
Distributor's supply requirements under the Processing Plan. Responsibility for
Lost Finished Product shall be determined as follows:
(a) ALKERMES. Alkermes shall be considered "responsible" for causing
Lost Finished Product in the following situations: (i) Alkermes fails to provide
Alkermes Materials in compliance with SECTION 2.1(a) or otherwise fails to take
all necessary steps to Process as required under this Agreement (including the
Specifications); (ii) Alkermes delays or fails to perform Processing altogether
(e.g., due to the ruin or destruction of Bulk Product), unless SECTION 4.3(b)(i)
applies (in which case Genentech is responsible) or unless SECTION 8.2 applies;
or (iii) Alkermes is found responsible for non-conforming Finished Product under
SECTIONS 4.1 AND 4.2. With regard to Lost Finished Product for which Alkermes is
responsible, Genentech shall owe Alkermes for Processing Fees for the
replacement Processing, but Genentech shall not owe Alkermes Processing Fees for
the Lost Finished Product. [***]
(b) GENENTECH. Genentech shall be considered "responsible" for
causing Lost Finished Product in the following situations: (i) Genentech fails
to provide Genentech Materials in compliance with SECTION 2.1(b); (ii) Genentech
submits a change order reducing or increasing Processing without providing a
change order at least thirty (30) days in advance as required under SECTION 3.2,
unless SECTION 4.3(a)(i) applies (in which case Alkermes is responsible),
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Alkermes has used reasonable efforts to accommodate such
change order and is unable to do so; or (iii) Genentech is found responsible for
non-conforming Finished Product under SECTIONS 4.1 AND 4.2. With regard to Lost
Finished Product for which Genentech is responsible, Genentech shall pay
Alkermes for the Processing Fees owed for the replacement Processing, as well as
for Lost Finished Product actually Processed by Alkermes.
With respect to any Finished Form or Finished Product (including any
portion of a Batch Processed) that does not come under the definition of "Lost
Finished Product" or no one is found to be "responsible" under this SECTION 4.3,
this SECTION 4.3 will not apply and the other terms of this Agreement
(including, for example, SECTION 6 regarding payment for Processing) will govern
such Finished Form or Finished Product.
SECTION 5: DELIVERIES; TITLE
5.1 DELIVERY. Upon completion of Processing and such testing as is
necessary to complete a certificate of analysis and certificate of compliance,
Alkermes will deliver Finished Product and/or Finished Form in accordance with
the applicable purchase order, FOB Alkermes' loading dock. As long as the amount
of Finished Form or Finished Product delivered is within +/- 5% of the amount
ordered in the purchase order (and the difference is less than [***]) and the
delivery is within +/- 5 business days of the requested delivery date, Alkermes
shall be in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement, the Processing
Plan and the purchase orders. If Alkermes is unable to deliver Finished Form or
Finished Product to Genentech within +/- 5 business days of the requested
delivery date due to delay caused by Genentech in signing the batch record,
Alkermes shall not be in breach of its obligations under this paragraph.
Alkermes shall invoice Genentech for any applicable Processing Fees concurrent
with shipment, and Genentech shall pay such Processing Fees, in accordance with
SECTION 6. Alkermes will

THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
provide shipment preparation and packaging of Finished Product and/or Finished
Form in Packaging Materials in accordance with the Specifications. In order to
meet the delivery requirements under the Processing Plans and purchase orders,
the Parties will agree within six (6) months of the Effective Date to the
amounts of safety stock of Bulk Intermediates and Finished Form to be held at
the Facility, based on the Parties' experience with Processing Bulk Product into
Finished Form. From the Effective Date until the Parties have reached the
agreement contemplated by the previous sentence, the amount of safety stock to
be held will be (i) the number of grams of Bulk Intermediates necessary to
support [***] of projected sales, and (ii) the number of Dosage Containers of
Finished Form necessary to support [***] of projected sales.
5.2 TITLE; RISK OF LOSS. All Genentech Materials and Genentech Equipment
in the custody of Alkermes will be and remain the exclusive property of
Genentech at all times, and Genentech will own any domestic or foreign
governmental rights, registrations or licenses associated with Bulk Product,
Finished Form or Finished Product. Alkermes specifically waives any and all
liens or security interests that it might acquire (whether by operation of law
or otherwise) with respect to any property of Genentech. Alkermes' care,
custody, control and use of any property of Genentech is determined solely by
the terms of this Agreement, and Alkermes will never have the power of sale or
disposal over any of it except with the express prior written consent of
Genentech.
SECTION 6: PRICING AND PAYMENT
6.1 PROCESSING FEES. Subject to the express terms of Section 4, in
consideration for Processing and performing the other obligations of this
Agreement, Genentech will pay to Alkermes the processing fees described in this
SECTION 6.1. The processing fee ("Processing Fee") shall equal a fee per dosage
form of [***] of the Net Sales Price per dosage form (or similar quantity)
shipped to Genentech and Genentech's Distributors. In the event Alkermes is
supplying Finished Form or Finished Product and opts to supply the other,
Alkermes shall give written notice to Genentech at least 180 days prior to such
change or such shorter period as the Parties agree upon in writing. In the event
that Alkermes supplies only Finished Form, Genentech shall be entitled to deduct
its or Genentech's Distributors' Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs of
Processing Finished Form into Finished Product from the amount otherwise payable
to Alkermes. The Processing Fee shall be determined as follows:
(a) FORECASTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE NET SALES PRICE. The Processing Fee
per vial of the Finished Form or Finished Product to be invoiced by Alkermes
during a calendar year (or such portion of the first calendar year that the
Licensed Product is commercially launched) shall be calculated as [***] of the
estimated weighted average price per dosage form offered (or forecasted to be
offered) by Genentech and Genentech's Distributors in arm's length sales to
independent third parties for the Finished Product. Such weighted average price
will be calculated based on the forecasted Net Sales Price of the Finished
Product in each dosage form (expressed in USD in accordance with the License
Agreement) in each country where Genentech and Genentech's Distributors intend
to sell the Finished Product in such dosage form.

THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
(b) CHANGES IN NET SALES PRICE. Promptly upon increasing or
decreasing the Net Sales Price of a particular dosage form by greater than
[***], Genentech shall notify Alkermes of the then current Net Sales Price or
forecasted Net Sales Price, as the case may be, and the weighted average price
per dosage shall be recalculated for purposes of calculating the Processing Fee
to be charged in each invoice.
(c) YEAR END RECONCILIATION. In the month of [***] following each
calendar year, adjustment shall be made if there is deviation between the
estimated weighted average Net Sales Price per dosage form and the actual
weighted average Net Sales Price of the Finished Product per dosage form
(expressed in USD in accordance with the License Agreement). Any corrective
payment to be made resulting from such reconciliation will be paid by the party
owing such a payment within [***] after such reconciliation.
6.2 PAYMENT. Alkermes will invoice Genentech for any Processing Fee
applicable to Finished Form or Finished Product on the date Alkermes delivers
the Finished Form or Finished Product to which the invoice corresponds as set
forth in SECTION 5.1, and Processing Fees will be due and payable net [***]
after Genentech's receipt of Alkermes' invoice therefor.
SECTION 7: RECORDS; REGULATORY MATTERS
7.1 BATCH RECORDS AND DATA. Within forty-five (45) days following the
completion of Processing of each Campaign, Alkermes will provide Genentech with
a copy of properly completed and reviewed Batch records (including manufacturing
tickets and assay data sheets) prepared in accordance with the Specifications.
7.2 RECORDKEEPING; AUDIT RIGHTS.
(a) Alkermes will maintain and retain true and accurate books,
records, test and laboratory data, reports and all other information relating to
Processing under this Agreement, including all information required to be
maintained under this Agreement (including the Specifications) or applicable
laws and regulations (including cGMPs) as well as records of work performed
specifically for Genentech's Distributors. Alkermes will maintain all such
information only in separate forms, notebooks and records to the extent possible
(not commingled with other information) and will maintain all such information
for a period of at least two (2) years from the relevant Finished Product
expiration date or longer if required under applicable laws and regulations
(including cGMPs).
(b) Genentech will keep for at least three (3) years, its records
(and the records of Genentech's Distributors that it receives) (i) of all sales
of Finished Form and Finished Product and the gross invoiced sales price charged
for such Finished Form and Finished Product in sufficient detail to permit
Alkermes to confirm the accuracy of the calculations of Net Sales Price per
dosage form, the weighted average of Net Sales Price and the Processing Fee (the
"Processing Fee Records") and (ii) of its and Genentech's Distributors' Fully
Burdened
12

Manufacturing Costs, if any, of Processing Finished Form into Finished Product
in sufficient detail to permit Alkermes to confirm the accuracy of same (the
"FBMC Records"). At the request of, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice, and at the expense of Alkermes, Genentech shall permit a nationally
recognized, independent, certified public accountant appointed by Alkermes and
reasonably acceptable to Genentech to examine either or both of the Processing
Fee Records or the FBMC Records solely to the extent necessary to verify such
calculations, provided that such accountant has entered into a confidentiality
agreement with Genentech that is substantially similar to the confidentiality
provisions of the License Agreement, and that limits the use and disclosure of
such information to purposes germane to this Section 7.2(b). Results of any such
examination shall be made available to Alkermes and to Genentech. If such
examination reveals an underpayment of Processing Fees or an overpayment of
Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost by [***] or more, Genentech shall pay all
costs of such examination. In the event such accountant concludes that
additional Processing Fees are owed and/or the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost
was overpaid, the additional Processing Fees and/or excess costs shall be paid
by Genentech to Alkermes within thirty (30) days of the date Alkermes delivers
to Genentech the accountant's written report reflecting such conclusion. In the
event such accountant concludes that excess Processing Fees have been paid
and/or additional Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost is owed, the excess
Processing Fees shall be refunded and/or the additional costs will be paid to
Genentech within thirty (30) days of the date Alkermes delivers to Genentech the
accountant's written report reflecting such conclusion. This Section 7.2(b)
shall survive any termination of this Agreement for three (3) years.
7.3 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Genentech will be solely responsible for all
permits and licenses required by any Regulator with respect to Finished Product
under this Agreement, including any New Drug Applications or amendments and
product licenses, in connection therewith, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Genentech
shall be responsible for the costs of such permits and licenses only to the
extent that Alkermes would not be required to obtain such permits or licenses
but for the sale of Finished Product and the Processing to be performed pursuant
to this Agreement. Alkermes will be solely responsible for all other permits,
licenses and amendments required by any Regulator, including those with respect
to the Facilities and the Nutropin Depot Diluent, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
Genentech shall be responsible for the costs of such permits and licenses to the
extent that Alkermes would not be required to obtain such permits or licenses
but for the sale of Finished Product and the Processing to be performed pursuant
to this Agreement. Each Party intends and commits to cooperate to satisfy all
applicable laws and regulations with respect to Processing under this Agreement.
7.4 AUDIT. During Alkermes' regular business hours and upon reasonable
advanced notice, or as required by the FDA, Alkermes will make available any
technical processing books and records, test and laboratory data, reports and
all other information relating to Processing under this Agreement, including all
information required to be maintained under this Agreement (including under the
Specifications) or applicable laws and regulations (including cGMPs), to
Genentech, Genentech's Distributors and Regulators for inspection and copying.
