Epidemic Failure “Epidemic Failure” for any particular Product shall mean a failure resulting from defects in material, workmanship, and manufacturing process, including but not limited to the use of Components with known defects. The Epidemic Failure clause shall be invoked [***]. The failure rate may be calculated [***], as determined by BUYER. Epidemic failures do not supersede the requirements of any expressed or implied warranty defined herein. In the case of an epidemic failure, SUPPLIER’s obligation is to propose an action plan to fix the failure of any affected Product within seventy-two (72) hours of discovery. SUPPLIER shall implement this action plan upon BUYER’s acceptance thereof. If the action plan is not acceptable to BUYER, BUYER can require SUPPLIER to repair or replace, at BUYER’s option, the affected Product. In addition to bearing the costs associated therewith, if requested by BUYER, SUPPLIER shall support and provide at SUPPLIER’s expense a sufficient number of units of the Product to permit the field exchange or “hot swap” of Products at customer sites. The parties agree to make all reasonable efforts to complete the repair or replacement of all affected Products within eight (8) Business Days after written notice of epidemic failure by BUYER to SUPPLIER. SUPPLIER also agrees that BUYER will be supported with accelerated shipments of replacement Product to cover BUYER’s supply requirements. If an Epidemic Failure is caused by (i) a design, including a BUYER-provided test process, as required by the Specifications or (ii) a failure by a Component required by the Specifications, (iii) misuse or damage during transit or damage by a third party at no fault of SUPPLIER, SUPPLIER shall perform the obligations in this Section 10.5 and BUYER shall pay to SUPPLIER the fees mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. If an Epidemic Failure is caused by any other reason other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, SUPPLIER shall perform the obligations set forth in this Section free of charge.

Omissions are designated by the symbol [***]. A complete version of this document has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Epidemic Failure Warranty Supplier warrants all Products against Epidemic Failure for a period of three years after DXC’s Acceptance. Epidemic Failure means the occurrence of the same failure, defect, or non-conformity with an Order in 2% or more of Products within any three-month period.

Reporting of Non-Force Majeure Events Each Party (the “Notifying Party”) shall notify the other Parties when the Notifying Party becomes aware of its inability to comply with the provisions of this Agreement for a reason other than a Force Majeure event. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other and provide necessary information regarding such inability to comply, including the date, duration, reason for the inability to comply, and corrective actions taken or planned to be taken with respect to such inability to comply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notification, cooperation or information provided under this Article shall not entitle the Party receiving such notification to allege a cause for anticipatory breach of this Agreement.
