7.               CHANGE IN MANUFACTURING PROCESS: PPG shall obtain GWM’s prior written approval before implementing any planned change in the materials, equipment, process, or procedures used to manufacture the Product that would constitute a change under cGMP, would impact the validation status of the process, or would constitute noncompliance with the manufacturing process set forth in the Contract Manufacturing Manual.  PPG shall disclose all proposed changes in such manufacturing materials, equipment, process, or procedure to GWM at a level sufficient to allow GWM to practice such changed manufacturing process.  GWM shall notify PPG in writing with reasonable notice of any change in the materials, equipment, process, analytical methods, specifications, or procedures to be used in the manufacture of the Product whether such changes are to be reflected as updates to the Contract Manufacturing Manual or otherwise.  PPG shall provide GWM with an authentic copy of the current Master Batch Record for the preparation of the Product.

9.               QUALITY CONTROL SAMPLE AND DOCUMENTATION: Manufacture of the Product shall at all times be in strict conformance with the Specifications and such conformance will be verified in accordance with the testing procedures specified therein.  Prior to the delivery of any batch of Product, PPG shall provide GWM with (i) a quality control sample of such to be held by GWM for analytical reference, (ii) written confirmation that the batch records for such batch have been reviewed and approved by PPG’s quality assurance unit (Certificate of Compliance), and (iii) a Certificate of Analysis confirming that such batch meets Specifications.  Quality control sampling, unless otherwise specified by GWM in writing, shall be in accordance with the most current Drug Substance Sampling/Testing Plan contained in the Contract Manufacturing Manual.
