LABORATORY SERVICES AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT*

 

THIS LABORATORY SERVICES AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT is made as of this 31st day of March, 2004 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Charles River Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a business address at 251 Ballardvale Street, Wilmington, Massachusetts 01887, acting through the divisions and at the locations set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Laboratory”) and Nuvios, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a business address at 197M Boston Post Road West, Marlborough, MA 01752 (“Sponsor”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

Laboratory is a contract research organization engaged in providing product discovery and development services.  The parties desire that Laboratory provide such services (the “Services”) under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The Services shall consist of individual studies (each, a “Study”) defined in a Protocol/Scope of Work (as hereinafter defined) and will be performed under these terms and conditions.  In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.  The Study.  Laboratory shall render the Services as set forth in a Protocol and/or Scope of Work, Letter of Payment Authorization and Letter of Commitment (the Protocol and/or Scope of Work, Letter of Payment Authorization and Letter of Commitment are collectively referred to here as the “Supporting Documents”).  A “Protocol” and/or “Scope of Work” shall mean an attachment to this Agreement describing the nature, design and scope of the Study and the schedule of work to be performed during the course of an individual Study conducted by Laboratory for the Sponsor.  A “Letter of Payment Authorization” shall mean an attachment to this Agreement that describes with respect to a particular Study the price, fees and payment schedule for that Study and any modifications of the terms of this Agreement as applied to a particular Study.  A “Letter of Commitment” shall mean an attachment to this Agreement that describes a commitment of space and resources by the Laboratory.  In the event of a conflict between the terms contained in the Supporting Documents and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control, unless specifically agreed upon to the contrary in the Supporting Documents.  The Supporting Documents when signed by Laboratory and Sponsor shall be incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

 

2.  Conduct of the Research.

 

2.1.  Laboratory will maintain industry standards of professional conduct in the performance of the Study and in the preparation of all reports.  Laboratory will adhere to all government laws and regulations applicable to the conduct of the Study.  If applicable, and as set forth in the Protocol and/or Scope of Work, Laboratory will perform the Study in compliance with the current laboratory practices of the appropriate governmental regulatory agency(ies).

2.2.  Laboratory will conduct the Study in accordance with the Protocol and/or Scope of Work, which may be amended from time to time upon the mutual agreement of Laboratory and Sponsor.  If the amendment requires additional work on the part of the Laboratory, Laboratory will not conduct the additional work unless approved in writing in advance by Sponsor and if such approval is obtained, Laboratory will be paid an amount mutually agreed to by the parties.  Laboratory agrees not to intentionally change or deviate from the Protocol without Sponsor’s prior approval.  Laboratory may not make material deviations from the Protocol without the prior written approval of Sponsor.  Deviations from the Protocol that are not material may be made in an emergency without Sponsor’s approval, provided that Laboratory shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Sponsor’s verbal approval, which shall be subsequently confirmed by Sponsor in writing.

 

2.3.  After the Study has been completed, Laboratory may be requested by Sponsor to provide additional consultation services concerning the Study performed by Laboratory.  Upon such a request by Sponsor, Laboratory will provide the requested services and will be paid an amount mutually agreed to by the parties.  These consultation services will be subject to the provisions on Confidentiality and Ownership set forth in Paragraphs 8 and 13, respectively.

 

3.  Study Material:  (a)  Sponsor will identify each compound, material or other substance (“Test Material”) that is to become the subject of a Study.  Sponsor will provide Laboratory with the Test Material with which to perform the Study, as well as such know-how, information and data (“Sponsor Know-How”) as Sponsor deems necessary to enable Laboratory to conduct each Study.  In addition, Sponsor shall provide Laboratory with information to apprise Laboratory of the stability of the Test Material, proper storage and safe handling requirements, including a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or equivalent documentation (“Safety Information”).  Laboratory will supply a blank MSDS to Sponsor, if necessary.

 

(b)           Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Sponsor hereby grants to Laboratory a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, limited license during the term of this Agreement to use the Test Materials, the Sponsor Know-How, the Safety Information and the intellectual property rights embodied in the foregoing (“Sponsor Property”) for the sole purpose of enabling Laboratory to perform the Studies (the “Permitted Purpose”).

 

(c)           Laboratory shall not use either the Sponsor Know-How or the Test Materials, nor shall it permit the same to be used, in any manner or for any purpose (including, without limitation, analysis of the Test Materials) other than for the Permitted Purpose.  Upon termination of this Agreement, Laboratory agrees promptly to return to Sponsor the Sponsor Property, including any and all unused quantity of the Test Materials.

 

4.  Personnel.  Laboratory shall use its best efforts to dedicate the same key personnel to perform each Study (each a “Study Member”) during the term of such Study.  The key Study Members will be identified in the Protocol or Scope of Work, to be approved by Sponsor prior to study initiation.  At any time during the term of this Agreement, Sponsor shall have the right to request a new Study Member be designated by Laboratory if Sponsor believes that a Study Member is not performing in a reasonably acceptable manner.  Any Study Member that no longer performs research activities hereunder for any reason shall be replaced by Laboratory

with an individual that is reasonably acceptable to Sponsor and that possesses the skills, knowledge and capabilities to perform the activities required hereunder.  Laboratory represents that none of its employees who are to participate in a Study have been debarred and none of such employees are under consideration to be debarred by the Food and Drug Administration from working in or providing services to any pharmaceutical or biotechnology company under the Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992, as amended.

 

5.  Inspections.  Upon reasonable advance notice, Laboratory will permit Sponsor and/or its designated representatives, during normal business hours and at mutually agreeable times, to visit the Laboratory facilities where the Study is taking place to monitor Laboratory’s performance of the Study and to examine and make copies of Laboratory records relating to a Study to verify compliance by Laboratory with the terms of this Agreement.  Any such examination and copying shall be paid for by Sponsor and shall be scheduled and conducted so as to reasonably minimize the disruption of Laboratory’s research operations.

 

6.  Records and Reports.

 

6.1.  Laboratory will keep and maintain complete and accurate records of the data generated in the course of each Study and the status and progress of the Study as required by the Protocol and/or Scope of Work and/or applicable regulations, in any event, with sufficient detail for use in reports to regulatory agencies.

 

6.2.  Laboratory will furnish a report or data containing information specified in the Protocol and/or Scope of Work according to the approved time lines identified in the Protocol and/or Scope of Work.  All reports will be prepared in the standard format of the Laboratory unless otherwise specified in the Protocol and/or Scope of Work, and shall include, without limitation, the procedures used and results obtained, a description of any inventions or other intellectual property rights Laboratory believes may have been discovered or created for such Study, and any other information that Sponsor reasonably requests.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Laboratory will inform Sponsor as soon as reasonably practicable of any inventions or other intellectual property rights Laboratory believes may have been discovered or created during the performance of the Study.

 

6.3.  All Study reports and any supporting documentation originating with Laboratory, whether written or physical (e.g., laboratory notebooks, original data, tissues, slides, photographs, etc.) are the Sponsor’s property and shall be the confidential information of Sponsor.  At Sponsor’s cost and expense, if Sponsor requests Sponsor’s property be held by Laboratory, Laboratory shall store Sponsor’s property in the manner and at a cost as agreed upon in the Supporting Documents and in accordance with Laboratory’s archiving policy attached hereto as Exhibit B.  Upon reasonable advance notice, Sponsor’s representatives shall have reasonable access to such material, and shall have the right to obtain certified, legible photocopies of the raw data and supporting documentation, at Sponsor’s expense.

8.  Confidentiality.  The parties anticipate that they will exchange proprietary and confidential information during the term of this Agreement.  The parties will identify, in writing, such information as confidential and/or proprietary.  Each party will maintain such information in confidence and will employ reasonable and appropriate procedures to prevent its unauthorized publication or disclosure.  Neither party shall use the other party’s proprietary or confidential information for any purpose other than in performance of this Agreement.  The obligations of confidentiality set forth in this paragraph will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of 5 years.

 

The confidentiality provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any part of such information, which:

 

a)                                      is known to the receiving party at the time it was obtained from the disclosing party;

 

b)                                     is acquired by receiving party from a third party and such third party did not obtain such information directly or indirectly from the disclosing party under obligation not to disclose;

 

c)                                      is or becomes published or otherwise in the public domain other than by violation of this Agreement by the receiving party;

Re: SSU00002:P-03 Pharmacokinetics Of Two Test Articles Following Subcutaneous Administration To Ovariectomized Swiss Webster Mice
Estimated Study Start: 3/29/04

 

This communication is to serve as a Letter of Payment Authorization (LOPA) for the above referenced study, which will be performed at Charles River Discovery Development Services (CR-DDS-Worcester Division) as set forth below.  CR-DDS-Worcester Division shall perform these services in accordance with the existing Service Agreement executed between CR-DDS and NuVios.  Once fully executed, this LOPA shall be incorporated into and made part of the existing Service Agreement.

 

The payment schedule and price of this study are as follows:

 

·                  (50%) $11,160 upon Advance Payments Completed.

 

·                  (35%) $7,812 upon In-Life Complete Completed.

 

·                  (15%) $3,348 upon Data Summary Report Completed.

 

Total Price of Study: $22,320.00

 

In the event the study design is altered, or the study is postponed or cancelled, payments will be amended as follows:

 

The price impact (if any) of the protocol amendment/change order will be submitted in writing.  If study prices increase, the difference will be invoiced and payable upon acceptance by the Sponsor.  If study prices decrease, the Sponsor will be credited for the difference.

 

Upon receipt of a verbal and/or written request Charles River Discovery and Development Services will order or assign animals and allocate resources for your study.  If the study is dosed on or before the agreed upon date no cancellation fees are necessary.  If the study is cancelled or rescheduled more than 7 days prior to dosing there will be no cancellation charges.  Any cancellation or delay less than 7 business days by Sponsor, through no fault of CR-DDS-Worcester Division, prior to dosing will result in a charge of 25% of the total study cost.  If the Sponsor requests delay of a study start, CR-DDS-Worcester Division will make every effort to accommodate the requested change.

 

CRL-DDS-Worcester Division will store residual study samples, test articles and formulations (“samples”) free of charge for up to 6 months following issuance of the draft report/data summary.  After this 6-month period CRL-DDS-Worcester Division will return, dispose or archive samples at the rates attached.  Please authorize one of the three options listed in the attachment.  In the absence of this authorization CRL-DDS-Worcester Division will assume that samples will be shipped back to NuVios.

 



 

As acceptance of this agreement, please sign this Letter of Payment Authorization and return to Mr. Leigh Peirce at the letterhead address (or fax to Leigh Peirce at ###-###-####).

In order to minimize the impact of study delays and cancellations for all sponsors, Charles River allocates resources at the time a signed Letter of Payment Authorization is received.  Please note that scheduling is not considered confirmed until a signed copy of this document is received.  By providing authorization via signature below, you will allow us to confirm a schedule for each authorized study.  Your signature further constitutes acceptance of the price and payment schedule.

 

Payment Schedule for Study Number SSU00066

 

The payment schedule and price of this study are as follows:

 


* Confidential Treatment Requested by the Registrant. Redacted Portion Filed Separately with the Commission.

 



 

·                  25%        Due upon Authorization*

 

·                  50%        Due upon Completion of In-life

 

·                  25%        Due upon Submission of Draft Report

 

Payment Schedule for Study Number SSU00067

 

The payment schedule and price of this study are as follows:

 

·                  25%        Due upon Authorization*

 

·                  50%        Due upon Completion of In-life

 

·                  25%        Due upon Submission of Draft Report

 


*Invoice(s) will be sent no more than 60 days prior to scheduled study start.

 

In the event Charles River does not receive comments pertaining to the draft report within 60 days after submission to the Sponsor, the final invoice will be due and payable.

 

Based upon the current scope of work, we would expect to initiate these studies the week of October 26, 2009.  Prior to receipt of this signed Letter of Payment Authorization this initiation date may be lost to another study vying for the same resources.

 

We understand that occasionally you may request to delay or to cancel a study due to unforeseen circumstances.  Charles River will make every reasonable effort to accommodate requested schedule changes.  However, as significant costs are incurred related to study initiation, cancellation/delay fees will apply in proportion to the number of days’ notice given (please see attached Cancellation and Delay Policy).  Cancellation/delay fees may be assessed separately for each postponement prior to the study being cancelled or initiated.  The Cancellation and Delay Policy becomes effective upon execution of this Letter of Authorization.

 

Charles River shall perform these services in accordance with the Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) executed between Charles River and RADIUS.  Once fully executed, this Letter of Payment Authorization shall be incorporated into and made part of the Agreement.

 

STUDY MATERIAL STORAGE/ARCHIVES.  After dispatch of the draft report, all raw data, samples/specimens (except for those sent to Sponsor or Sponsor designated laboratory and resultant data which are the responsibility of Sponsor) and documents generated at Charles River during this study, together with the original copy of the protocol (including amendments) and the draft report, will be retained in the secure storage area of Charles River for one (1) year at no charge.  After this one (1) year period, Sponsor will be contacted prior.  to the end of the year to authorize continued storage or return to Sponsor, at additional cost.  At finalisation, the final report and any stored materials will be transferred to the scientific archives of Charles River.  Subsequently, storage details will be documented in the raw data.

 

Any additional storage, archiving or retention will require an Extended Archiving Agreement

 

REPEAT OF SAMPLE ANALYSIS.  If applicable, the parties agree that as of commencement of work, in some instances, repeat of sample analysis will be required.  If this arises, Charles River must notify the Sponsor as soon as possible and determine, between the parties, if these repeats are required by Sponsor.  Consequently, the price per sample analysis/occasion will apply to any additional repeats requested by the Sponsor, as well as any samples above the analytical range, which require dilution.

 

2



 

However, in the event that additional sample analysis/occasions are required, Charles River shall submit a written estimate to the Sponsor for the Sponsor’s written approval, and the Sponsor shall respond to Charles River within five (5) business days, or within the specified time period sanctioned by the Sponsor for receipt of such estimates.  Once authorization is received, Charles River will endeavor, when possible, to proceed with current batches of sample analysis.  Both parties acknowledge that Charles River will be reimbursed for any amount which relates to the repeats if the difference between the original result of the sample analysis and the repeat result of the sample analysis, is within a 30% range.

 

SHIPMENT OF TEST ARTICLES.  Sponsor and Charles River agree that all costs associated with shipping test article to Charles River shall be the responsibility of the Sponsor.  Charles River shall not be responsible for any direct or indirect damages sustained by the Sponsor resulting from any loss, destruction or damage to the test article(s).

 

In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this letter and the Master Service Agreement, the terms of the Master Service Agreement shall control, unless specifically agreed upon to the contrary in this letter.

 

Please sign and return this document via facsimile or email (contact information below).  Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me.  We look forward to being of service.

TOXICOLOGY: POSTPONEMENT/CANCELLATION POLICY

 

Upon receipt of the signed quote letter or correspondence from the Sponsor confirming formal authorization, Charles River Laboratories Preclinical Services, hereinafter referred to as (“Charles River”) will order or reserve animals and allocate other resources for the specified study.

 

If the study is initiated on the scheduled start date, the most current quoted price is valid (unless advised otherwise by any revised quote letter) and no postponement or cancellation charges are applicable.

 

There will be no charges if the study is rescheduled or cancelled as long as notice is provided to Charles River in advance of the defined period of time prior to the animal arrival date.

 

Should any applicable fees be charged from the animal supplier before the above-mentioned timelines, these would be the responsibility of the Sponsor.

 

If sponsor cancels study after animal arrival and before study start the following charges will apply:

 

In the event of postponement or cancellation of the study by the Sponsor, additional compensation may be requested for items procured specifically for the study (e.g., animal purchases(1), dedicated equipment, perishable or non-reusable supplies) and any non-recoverable expenses incurred by Charles River (e.g., equipment lease payments, subcontractor charges or consultant fees to which Charles is irrevocably committed).

 

In the event the Sponsor terminates an ongoing study (i.e. early termination following dosing initiation), the Sponsor will be responsible for all incurred costs.

 

Exceptions to the above terms may be made on a case-by-case basis at Charles River sole discretion, if the study cancellation or postponement has little or no financial impact on Charles River (e.g. if notice that the study is subsequently cancelled or postponed falls within the defined period of time above pre-study period but no resources have been expended or costs incurred in the preparation for the study, and the animals can be readily used in another study [or exchanged, in the case of postponement]).

 

In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this letter and the Master Service Agreement, the terms of the Master Service Agreement shall control, unless specifically agreed upon to the contrary in this letter.

 


(1) In order to secure animals, Charles River is required to purchase the animals upon study authorization.  Therefore, should there be a cancellation thereafter by the Sponsor, the Sponsor will incur the full cost of animals ordered.

Following importation, per diem fees would be invoiced for the [*] animals imported until the animals are placed elsewhere ($[*] US/animal per day).  Ownership of [*] animals would also be transferred to Radius with an option for the direct purchase of [*] animals.

 

The parties will negotiate in good faith a maximum amount of the housing charges.  The agreed amount would then be indicated in an amendment to this Letter of Payment Authorization.

 

Charles River shall perform these services in accordance with the services agreement (the “Agreement”) executed between Charles River and RADIUS HEALTH, INC. Once fully executed, this Letter of Payment Authorization shall be incorporated into and made part of the Agreement.

 

STUDY MATERIAL STORAGE/ARCHIVES.  After dispatch of the draft report, all raw data, samples/specimens (except for those sent to Sponsor or Sponsor designated laboratory and resultant data which are the responsibility of Sponsor) and documents generated at Charles River during this study, together with the original copy of the protocol (including amendments) and the draft report, will be retained in the secure storage area of Charles River for one (1) year at no charge.  After this one (1) year period, Sponsor will be contacted prior to the end of the year to authorize continued storage or return to Sponsor, at additional cost.  At finalisation, the final report and any stored materials will be transferred to the scientific archives of Charles River.  Subsequently, storage details will be documented in the raw data.

 

Any additional storage, archiving or retention will require an Extended Archiving Agreement.

 

REPEAT OF SAMPLE ANALYSIS.  If applicable for studies involving bioanalytical sample analysis, the parties agree that as of commencement of work, in some instances, repeat of sample analysis will be required.  If this arises, Charles River must notify the Sponsor as soon as possible and determine, between the parties, if these repeats are required by Sponsor.  Consequently, the price per sample analysis/occasion will apply to any additional repeats requested by the Sponsor, as well as any samples above the analytical range, which require dilution.  However, in the event that additional sample analysis/occasions are required, Charles River shall submit a written estimate to the Sponsor for the Sponsor’s written approval, and the Sponsor shall respond to Charles River within five (5) business days, or within the specified time period sanctioned by the Sponsor for receipt of such estimates.  Once authorization is received, Charles River will endeavor, when possible, to proceed with current batches of sample analysis.  Both parties acknowledge that Charles River will be reimbursed for any amount which relates to the repeats if the difference between the original result of the sample analysis and the repeat result of the sample analysis, is within a 30% range.

 

SHIPMENT OF TEST ARTICLES.  Sponsor and Charles River agree that all costs associated with shipping test article to Charles River shall be the responsibility of the Sponsor.  Charles River shall not be

Study # 20001926
Title: A 7-Day Dermal Bridging Study in [*]

(Reference scope of work dated: 06-Aug-2010)

 

$ 49,900

 

In order to minimize the impact of study delays and cancellations for all sponsors, Charles River allocates resources at the time a signed Letter of Payment Authorization is received. Please note that scheduling is not considered confirmed until a signed copy of this document is received. By providing authorization via signature below, you will allow us to confirm a schedule for each authorized study. Your signature further constitutes acceptance of the price and payment schedule.

The payment schedule and price of this study are as follows:

 

·                  25%                        Due upon Authorization*

·                  50%                        Due upon Completion of In-life

schedule changes. Charles River shall perform these services in accordance with the Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) executed between Charles River and RADIUS. Once fully executed, this Letter of Payment Authorization shall be incorporated into and made part of the Agreement.

 

STUDY MATERIAL STORAGE/ARCHIVES. After dispatch of the draft report, all raw data, samples/specimens (except for those sent to Sponsor or Sponsor designated laboratory and resultant data which are the responsibility of Sponsor) and documents generated at Charles River during this study, together with the original copy of the protocol (including amendments) and the draft report, will be retained in the secure storage area of Charles River. At finalisation, the final report and any stored materials will be transferred to the scientific archives of Charles River for (1) year. Subsequently, storage details will be documented in the raw data. After this one (1) year period, Sponsor will be contacted prior to the end of the year to authorize continued storage or return to Sponsor, at additional cost.

 

Any additional storage, archiving or retention will require an Extended Archiving Agreement

 

REPEAT OF SAMPLE ANALYSIS. If applicable, the parties agree that as of commencement of work, in some instances, repeat of sample analysis will be required. If this arises, Charles River must notify the Sponsor as soon as possible and determine, between the parties, if these repeats are required by Sponsor. Consequently, the price per sample analysis/occasion will apply to any additional repeats requested by the Sponsor, as well as any samples above the analytical range, which require dilution. However, in the event that additional sample analysis/occasions are required, Charles River shall submit a written estimate to the Sponsor for the Sponsor’s written approval, and the Sponsor shall respond to Charles River within five (5) business days, or within the specified time period sanctioned by the Sponsor for receipt of such estimates. Once authorization is received, Charles River will endeavor, when possible, to proceed with current batches of sample analysis. Both parties acknowledge that Charles River will be reimbursed for any amount which relates to the repeats if the difference between the original result of the sample analysis and the repeat result of the sample analysis, is within a 30% range.

 

SHIPMENT OF TEST ARTICLES. Sponsor and Charles River agree that all costs associated with shipping test article to Charles River shall be the responsibility of the Sponsor. Charles River shall not be responsible for any direct or indirect damages sustained by the Sponsor resulting from any loss, destruction or damage to the test article(s).

 

In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this letter and the Master Service Agreement, the terms of the Master Service Agreement shall control, unless specifically agreed upon to the contrary in this letter.

Before importation, the entire cost of the screening ($50,000US) and of the animal reservation ($138,807 US) would be lost.  Alternatively, Radius would have an option for the DIRECT purchase of up to [*] animals with the reservation fees paid.  Should the option be exercised, Radius would then be responsible for housing fees at a rate of $ [*] US/animal per day.

 

Following importation, in addition to the screening and reservation cost, per diem fees would be invoiced until the animals are placed elsewhere ($[*] US/animal per day).  Radius would also have an option for the purchase of up to [*] animals with the reservation fees paid.  Should the option be exercised, Radius would then be responsible for housing fees at a rate of $ [*] US/animal per day.

 

Charles River shall perform these services in accordance with the services agreement (the “Agreement”) executed between Charles River and RADIUS HEALTH, INC.  Once fully executed, this Letter of Payment Authorization shall be incorporated into and made part of the Agreement.

 

STUDY MATERIAL STORAGE/ARCHIVES.  After dispatch of the draft report, all raw data, samples/specimens (except for those sent to Sponsor or Sponsor designated laboratory and resultant data which are the responsibility of Sponsor) and documents generated at Charles River during this study, together with the original copy of the protocol (including amendments) and the draft report, will be retained in the secure storage area of Charles River for one (1) year at no charge.  After this one (1) year period, Sponsor will be contacted prior to the end of the year to authorize continued storage or return to Sponsor, at additional cost.  At finalisation, the final report and any stored materials will be transferred to the scientific archives of Charles River.  Subsequently, storage details will be documented in the raw data.

 

Any additional storage, archiving or retention will require an Extended Archiving Agreement.

 

REPEAT OF SAMPLE ANALYSIS.  If applicable for studies involving bioanalytical sample analysis, the parties agree that as of commencement of work, in some instances, repeat of sample analysis will be required.  If this arises, Charles River must notify the Sponsor as soon as possible and determine, between the parties, if these repeats are required by Sponsor.  Consequently, the price per sample analysis/occasion will apply to any additional repeats requested by the Sponsor, as well as any samples above the analytical range, which require dilution.  However, in the event that additional sample analysis/occasions are required, Charles River shall submit a written estimate to the Sponsor for the Sponsor’s written approval, and the Sponsor shall respond to Charles River within five (5) business days, or within the specified time period sanctioned by the Sponsor for receipt of such estimates.  Once authorization is received, Charles River will endeavor, when possible, to proceed with current batches of sample analysis.  Both parties acknowledge that Charles River will be reimbursed for any amount which relates to the repeats if the difference between the original result of the sample analysis and the repeat result of the sample analysis, is within a 30% range.

 

SHIPMENT OF TEST ARTICLES.  Sponsor and Charles River agree that all costs associated with shipping test article to Charles River shall be the responsibility of the Sponsor.  Charles River shall not be responsible for any direct or indirect damages sustained by the Sponsor resulting from any loss, destruction or damage to the test article(s).
