In addition to the inspections discussed above, Buyer may conduct one full-scale GMP audit per year.

(g)

Manufacturer agrees to provide and maintain a quality control system acceptable to Buyer and the Government and to provide access to Manufacturer’s facilities at all reasonable times for surveillance periodically by Buyer and authorized representatives of the Government.
