Customer shall also have the right to inspect and test the Intermediate Batches upon Release. Customer shall notify Lonza in writing of any rejection of a Batch based on any claim that it fails to meet Specifications within sixty (60) days of Release, after which time all unrejected Batches shall be deemed accepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer and/or its designee first discovers that any Batch is a Failed Batch and such failure would not have been readily discoverable from a reasonable testing or review of the Intermediate or Final Product, as applicable, (collectively, “Latent Defects”), Customer shall have the continuing right to reject the Batch, provided it notifies Lonza of the Latent Defect within [redacted]after the discovery of the Latent Defect, but no later than, in respect of Intermediate shipped to Customer (or a Third Party appointed by Customer), [redacted]after delivery of such Intermediate to Customer or the 








Third Party; and in respect of Final Product, [redacted]after delivery of the Final Product.
9.6.2    In the event that Lonza believes that a Batch has been incorrectly rejected, Lonza may require that Customer provide to it Batch samples for testing.  Lonza may retain and test the samples of such Batch.  In the event of a discrepancy between Customer’s and Lonza’s test results such that Lonza’s test results fall within relevant Specifications, or there exists a dispute between the Parties over the extent to which such failure is attributable to a given Party, the Parties shall cause an independent laboratory promptly to review records, test data and perform comparative tests and analyses on samples of the Product that allegedly fails to conform to Specifications.  Such independent laboratory shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.  The independent laboratory’s results shall be in writing and shall be final and binding save for manifest error.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by the Party against whom the independent laboratory rules.
9.6.3    Any Batch which fails to conform with the Specifications will be designated as a “Failed Batch”. In the event of a Failed Batch, regardless of responsibility, such replacement shall be made as promptly as practicable, in light of available manufacturing capacity.
9.6.4    In the event that it is determined (by the Parties or the independent laboratory) that such Failed Batch was due to Lonza’s breach of its obligations hereunder, negligence or intentional misconduct, such Failed Batch will be deemed to be a “Lonza Responsibility” hereunder and Lonza shall [redacted].

The Variable Manufacturing Fees adjustment shall be 








effective for any Batch for which the delivery date is on or after the date of the Variable Manufacturing Fees adjustment. 
10.5.2    To the extent not captured in the above, the Variable Manufacturing Fees may be changed by Lonza, upon reasonable prior written notice to Customer (providing reasonable detail in support thereof), to reflect only the additional cost incurred by Lonza resulting from (i) an increase in variable costs (such as energy or Raw Materials) by more [redacted]in the preceding calendar year (based on the initial Variable Manufacturing Fees or any previously amended Variable Manufacturing Fees), or for a required process adjustment, and (ii) any material change in an environmental, safety or regulatory standard that causes Lonza’s cost to perform the Services to increase by more than [redacted].
10.6    The Parties, acting reasonably, will develop an expected yield for the conversion of Intermediate to Final Product, which will be used to determine the adjustments to the payment for Intermediate and Final Product to take into account unexpected losses of Raw Materials, Customer Materials and Intermediate during the manufacture of Final Product.
10.7    Financial Records. Lonza shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep complete and accurate books and records pertaining to the Capital Program Fee and any price adjustments made or to be made pursuant to Clause 10.5.2 in sufficient detail to calculate all amounts payable hereunder and to verify compliance with its obligations under this Agreement.

13.2    Indemnification by Customer.  Customer shall indemnify Lonza, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“Lonza Indemnitees”) from and against any loss, damage, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that Lonza Indemnitees may suffer as a result of any Third Party claim arising out of (i) any material breach of the warranties given by Customer in Clause 12.2 above; or (ii) any claims alleging that the performance of Services infringes any Intellectual Property rights of a Third Party, only as respects Customer Information, Customer Materials and/or Customer Background Intellectual Property, provided to Lonza; or (iii) the manufacture, use, sale, or distribution of any Product, including any claims of product liability; except, in each case, to the extent that such claims resulted from the negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Agreement by any Lonza Indemnitees.
13.3    Indemnification Procedure.  If the Party to be indemnified intends to claim indemnification under this Clause 13, it shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (“Indemnitor”) in writing of such claim.  The Indemnitor shall have the right to control the defense and settlement thereof; provided, however, that: (i) the Indemnitor must obtain the prior written consent of the indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party claim; (ii) any indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense; and (iii) if the amount sought in any Third Party claim (alone or in aggregate with all other Third Party claims) (collectively, “Covered Claims”) exceeds the amounts payable by the Indemnitor pursuant to Clause 13.5 or the indemnitee otherwise believes that the total amount payable pursuant to the Covered Claims may exceed the amounts payable by the Indemnitor pursuant to Clause 13.5, then the Parties shall discuss and use reasonable efforts to agree who has conduct and control of the Covered Claims, provided that if the Parties are not able to agree within thirty (30) days after the indemnitee provides Indemnitor with notice of its desire to take over control of such Covered Claims (or such shorter period as necessary to preserve all of the indemnitee’s rights), the indemnitee may, at its election, retain full control over the such Covered Claims unless the Indemnitor executes a separate agreement with the indemnitee agreeing that it shall pay all amounts payable in connection with such Covered Claims irrespective of the limitation of liability in Clause 13.5.
