such royalties suspended with the proviso that payment of amounts due shall be
made within thirty (30) days after such a rate of exchange is next quoted by
CITIBANK N.A. of New York; provided always that AMGEN may at any earlier date
elect to receive payment in the foreign currency in question or in any other
currency for which an exchange rate can be ascertained. If the exchange rate can
be ascertained, but the payment by ORTHO's AFFILIATE to AMGEN in United States
Dollars or other currency is not permissible, ORTHO's AFFILIATE may satisfy its
obligations to AMGEN by the deposit in the currency of the country where the
sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS were made on which the payment was based to the
credit and account of AMGEN in any commercial bank or trust company of its

sell each of the PRODUCTS at its standard cost and ORTHO will not propose a
price for any of the PRODUCTS less than its fully allocated cost of manufacture
in its own facilities and said price shall be renegotiated triennially. Such
agreement shall also provide that so long as a mutually acceptable price exists
for any of the said PRODUCTS, AMGEN shall continue to supply all of ORTHO's
requirements of said PRODUCT. This
Manufacture and Supply agreement shall be negotiated in an atmosphere of good
faith and reasonableness.
