Epidemics. Epidemic or sweeping failures of Product may be detected directly or by virtue of failures of Maxtor's HDD's, and the procedures and remedies for epidemics are in addition to all other of Maxtor's rights and remedies available under this Agreement. An epidemic failure shall occur when one percent (1%) of Maxtor's HDD delivered to one or more customers shall fail within six (6) months of delivery for reasons Maxtor determines to be related to Product and which the parties have discussed. In the event that Maxtor's HDD's should develop any epidemic failure related to Komag's Product, the parties will meet in order to work out technical methods to diagnose and remedy the problem. In such event, shipment of undelivered Products related to the epidemic may be postponed, at Maxtor's request, until the cause of the epidemic has been corrected. In case upon the expiration of 30 (thirty) days from the date of Maxtor's notice regarding the epidemic, Komag has not yet remedied the same, then Maxtor shall be entitled to cancel pending Orders without any liability for such cancellation and without prejudice to Maxtor's rights for damages or any other remedy. In the event that a remedy has been found, all Product units subsequently delivered to Maxtor shall incorporate the modification remedying the defect, if necessary, and Komag shall be obliged to accept return of all Product units previously delivered to Maxtor, affected by such epidemic, provided the epidemic is related to Product or Komag process non-conformance. Maxtor agrees to re-accept delivery of such returned epidemic material if it is mutually agreed that such epidemic failure has been remedied. In the event Maxtor can show that the epidemic is due to the failure of the Product to meet the Product Specification, Komag will refund the cost of the Product and Maxtor and Komag will negotiate in good faith any direct expense incurred for the rework of Maxtor's HDD.
Epidemics. In the event of any outbreak of illness of an epidemic nature, the Contractor shall comply with and carry out such regulations, orders and requirements as may be made by the Government, or the public health authorities or any other official body for the purpose of dealing with and overcoming the same and shall provide all necessary preventive precautions.
Epidemics. In the event the Yonkers Board of Health establishes that an epidemic exists in regard to a communicable disease, the Board of Education shall provide for immunization for all teachers at no cost in places designated by the Board of Health to the extent that such immunization is available.
Epidemics. The procedures and remedies for epidemics are in addition to all other of Maxtor's rights and remedies available under this Agreement.
Epidemics. Supplier will make best efforts to make delivery of Supplies during an epidemic, including Supplier payment for expedited freight costs to meet Order delivery commitments. Prior to the delivery of Supplies, Xxxxx may cancel Orders for reasons attributable to the outbreak of any epidemic. Xxxxx cannot be held liable, and Supplier shall not be entitled to any damages or indemnifications resulting from an epidemic.
Epidemics. In the event that in the Products supplied by Seller to Buyer hereunder there should develop an epidemic of failures or any non-conformance to the applicable Specifications due to the default of Seller, Seller and Buyer shall discuss the steps that Seller will take at Seller’s expense to remedy such problem. If the epidemic fault directly results from any default, such as faulty design in the Product, of Buyer or by any third party for Buyer, then Buyer will work at its expense with Seller to cure the problem. In the event of such an epidemic under this Section 8, issuance of new Purchase Orders and delivery of unfilled Purchase Orders of the Products shall be postponed as mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller, pending the correction of the cause of the epidemic. An epidemic fault shall be defined as [********].

Epidemics. An epidemic is a situation where a disease spreads through a large fraction of a population. Models of epidemics captures aspects of agreement problems, where agents “agree” to be infected with a disease. Several of the models are meant to capture the dynamics of epidemics, and thus use epidemic terminology which we will follow as well. We will use the terms “infected” (I) which means an agent has a particular disease/infection, and “susceptible” (S) which means that the agent has the possibility of being infected, although the agent is healthy right now. A “recovered” (R) agent is one that has been infected and cannot be infected again. An epidemic is a situation where an infection spreads throughout a population. We can view an epidemic as a type of agreement, where the state space is {I, S, R}. There has been much work on creating abstract models of epidemics. [Xxxxx and Xxxxxx, 2000, Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 1999] study epidemics through percolation theory. The basic idea is that there is a graph where the vertices and edges can be occupied or not occupied. If a vertex is occupied the agent is susceptible to being infected by a neighboring, infected vertex. If an edge is occupied, it means an infection can spread between the vertices. Suppose there is one infected individual in the population, and at each time step the infection spreads to the individuals neighbors, depending upon whether the edges and vertices are occupied. The main question Xxxxxx et. al. want to answer is, “For what fraction of occupied vertices/bonds will a giant occupied component occur?” They call this the percolation threshold and develop analytical solutions to find this for a variety of graphs. The size of this component indicates the reach of this infection into the population. [Pastor-Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx, 2001b, Pastor-Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx, 2001a] also study epidemics but in a significantly different manner. Imagine now that an agent becomes infected with some probability v if their neighbor is infected, and that an infected individual recovers with probability δ. In this model there is no concept of occupied/unoccupied. Let λ = v/δ be the effective spreading rate. The question Pastor-Xxxxxxxx et. al want to answer is, “For what value of λ will the number of infected individuals be comparable to the size of the entire population?” This value is called the epidemic threshold. [Pastor-Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx, 2001b, Pastor-Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx, 2001a] show severeal interest...
