This Agreement between HEB and COMPANY shall be in effect beginning the last date of execution set forth on the signature page to the Agreement (the “Effective Date”) to which this Quality Agreement is Exhibit 2 and remain in effect until HEB and COMPANY terminate the Agreement or it is superseded by a revised Quality Agreement executed by both parties. This Quality Agreement should be reviewed

periodically by both parties for any needed updating, revisions, amendments, and the like. Regular periodic review of this Quality Agreement should be conducted to ensure it is up-to-date.

HEB may perform audits for initial qualification of COMPANY as well as periodic audits and “for cause” audits. At mutually agreed upon times, HEB may review standard operating and other quality control procedures and records and the records of COMPANY relating to the Agreement. Such routine and general oversight review is to be requested at least twenty (20) business days in advance, limited to two (2) persons, completed within one (1) to two (2) business days and shall be offered to HEB one (1) time each calendar year. COMPANY will make every reasonable effort to accommodate the special circumstances that may arise pursuant to “for cause” audits. The following applies to all audits:


•	Prior to an audit HEB will communicate to COMPANY the scope of the audit.


•	HEB will prepare a written report of the results of the audit and forward a copy to COMPANY.

COMPANY will provide a written response to HEB’s written audit report within twenty (20) business days of receipt of such report setting forth the corrective actions to be taken by COMPANY, if any, and a timeline for such implementation.

In the event of an inspection by any governmental or regulatory authority concerning the activities carried out under the Agreement, COMPANY shall notify HEB promptly upon learning of such an inspection, shall supply HEB with copies of any correspondence or portions of correspondence relating to HEB’s materials and shall inform HEB of the general findings and outcomes of such inspections.

COMPANY and HEB shall cooperate with each other during any such inspection, investigation or other inquiry, including applying reasonable effort, as might be practical, at allowing, upon reasonable request, a representative of HEB to be on site during such inspection, investigation or other inquiry, and providing copies of all documents related to the inspection. Each party acknowledges that it may not direct the manner in which the other party fulfills its obligations to permit inspection by governmental entities

6. Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises between the parties under this Agreement, the parties agree that, prior to either pursuing other available remedies, decision-making individuals from each party will promptly meet, either in person or by telephone, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within sixty days after such meeting, the parties are unable to resolve the dispute (or such longer time as the parties may agree) either party is free to pursue its legal remedies.

7. Definitions

Adverse experience: Any adverse event associated with the use of a biological or drug product in humans, whether or not considered product related, including the following: an adverse event occurring in the course of the use of a biological or drug product in professional practice; an adverse event occurring from overdose of the product whether accidental or intentional; an adverse event occurring from abuse of the product; an adverse event occurring from withdrawal of the product; and any failure of expected pharmacological action.

Disability: A substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct normal life functions.

Life-threatening adverse experience: Any adverse experience that places the patient, in the view of the initial reporter, at immediate risk of death from the adverse experience as it occurred, i.e., it does not include an adverse experience that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death.

Labeled event: An adverse experience that is listed on the product insert as having been observed in patients who are receiving the drug product.

Drug Product: A finished dosage form, for example, tablet, capsule, or solution that contains an active ingredient generally, but not necessarily, in association with inactive ingredients

Serious adverse experience: Any adverse experience occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes: Death, a life-threatening adverse experience, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered a serious adverse experience when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

Unexpected adverse experience: Any adverse experience that is not listed in the current labelling for the biological or drug product. This includes events that may be symptomatically and pathophysiologically related to an event listed in the labelling, but differ from the event because of greater severity or specificity.

For example, under this definition, hepatic necrosis would be unexpected (by virtue of greater severity) if the labeling only referred to elevated hepatic enzymes or hepatitis. Similarly, cerebral thromboembolism and cerebral vasculitis would be unexpected (by virtue of greater specificity) if the labeling only listed cerebral vascular accidents. “Unexpected,” as used in this definition, refers to an adverse experience that has not been previously observed (i.e., included in the labeling) rather than from the perspective of such experience not being anticipated from the pharmacological properties of the pharmaceutical product.

Call report: A list of all questions, requests for circulars, and physician/patient complaints received by COMPANY's Clinical Support Department is prepared monthly by COMPANY staff and is forwarded to HEB RA/QA Department.

Audit: A systematic examination of processes, controls and systems, operating procedures, reports, records and/or data to assess COMPANY’s compliance with standards, regulatory submissions, SOPs; applicable laws, regulations, directives, standards and guidelines; the terms of this Agreement and other contracts in place defining the services being provided and to verify data integrity.

Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMPs”): The recognized pharmaceutical regulations and requirements of regulatory authorities such as those defined by the U.S. FDA’s regulations at 21CFR Parts 210 and 211.

Key Contacts: Persons at COMPANY and HEB assigned to assure proper communication and follow-up in a timely manner within both parties’ organizations. Names, titles and full contact information for Key Contacts shall be appended to this Agreement as Attachment 1 and should be maintained up-to-date during the course of the project.

Observation: A statement of fact made during an audit that is substantiated by objective evidence. HEB categorizes observations as follows:


◦	Critical: May pose risk to patient or consumer or otherwise compromise the integrity or quality of the material, product, process, or service being provided. Other instances that could be defined as a critical observation include: A practice that poses an immediate safety risk to personnel; Quality System(s) missing or not in compliance with regulations, guidelines, or corporate policies.

◦

Major: Does not fully comply with regulations, guidelines or corporate policies and may pose unnecessary risks to the integrity or quality of material, product, process or service being provided. Other instances that could be defined as a major observation include: Likely or probable safety risk to personnel; Quality System(s) weak or needing improvement; repeated Minor deficiencies of a similar nature that indicate a systemic problem and therefore may be classified as Major.


◦	Minor: Does not comply with regulations, guidelines, or corporate policies but does not directly impact the integrity or quality of the material, product, process, or service being provided.


◦	Comment: Compliant with regulations, guidelines and/or corporate policies; however, the auditor comment serves as a recommendation relative to maintaining or improving a specific condition noted.

Out-of-Specification / Out-of-Trend (“OOS / “OOT”): A result that is not within the established specifications or trend, whether these are qualitative or quantitative.

Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”): Procedures in effect at COMPANY that define the processes and controls by and under which activities are to be conducted to assure compliance with the appropriate Code of Federal Regulations.

7. Communications

Key contacts shall have access to project managers and technical staff and, upon reasonable notice and as required, facilitate resolution of any issues. Every effort will be made by COMPANY to accommodate timely communications, including face-to-face meetings, with HEB.

8. Change of Control

COMPANY will maintain and follow change control SOP(s) to ensure that changes to equipment, procedures, processes, etc. occur in a controlled manner and in compliance with requirements e defined by the U.S. FDA’s regulations (see Section 2). The implementation of any change that may directly impact the integrity of the activities conducted or data being supplied for HEB will require prior written approval of HEB. COMPANY and HEB will advise the appropriate organization’s staff member (See Attachment 1) before implementation of a change, by either party, to equipment, procedures, specifications, processes, clinical protocols, product claims or facilities directly related to HEB’s specific products and processes. Each party agrees to review the proposed change in a timely manner and, at its discretion, may audit and/or request an alternative or additional change prior to the implementation of the proposed change. The respective party will review the proposed change, determine if it is reasonably practicable to implement the change and can suggest alternative or additional changes prior to the implementation of the proposed change.
