“cGMP requires manufacturers to produce API of consistent quality. LANXESS has controlled and managed the procurement of Raw Materials and their quality (except MFA) that allowed it to consistently manufacture API that met the most recently introduced impurity limits even before they were implemented. To ensure its ability to continue to manufacture API of the same quality LANXESS might want to add additional controls (introduce or modify specifications) at the stage of the Raw Materials it procures. If a change in Specifications is required as a result of changes in the supply of Raw Materials ([***]) managed by LANXESS or if LANXESS wants to introduce changes to existing Specifications of Raw Materials it procures ([***]), then such changes are not considered Changes in Specifications requested by Relypsa as defined in this section and LANXESS is responsible for maintaining and managing compliance with such changed Specifications as well as the continued Manufacture of Product in accordance with established Specifications.  Risk and responsibility for such Raw Material Specification changes shall be borne by LANXESS under this Agreement.”
