Buyer agrees to give Seller ** ** Business Days’ prior notice of any such inspection “for cause” and ** ** prior notice for any other inspection. Seller shall immediately use its best efforts to take such action as is required to correct any deficiencies identified by Buyer or its representatives relating to the production of any Product. Seller is not currently a party to, and shall not enter into, any third-party manufacturing agreement relating to any Product that does not grant to Buyer and its representatives, as third-party beneficiaries, rights to inspect the plant or plants at which Product components or materials are manufactured on the terms set forth in this Section. Seller further agrees to use its best efforts to provide such documentation or conduct such analyses as Buyer or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any regulatory submission or audit hereunder. In accordance with applicable laws and regulations governing regulatory inspections, Seller shall permit authorized representatives of relevant regulatory authorities, including FDA, to inspect any plant and production facilities relating to or used in connection with the manufacture of any Product.

Seller acknowledges that Buyer is an equal employment opportunity/affirmative action employer subject to Executive Order 11246, the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act, Section 503 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act, and their implementing regulations (collectively, "EEO Laws"). Seller may be governed by these laws and implementing regulations which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. By acceptance of this Agreement, Seller certifies that it complies and will continue to comply with all applicable EEO Laws, and it shall not discriminate on the basis of race, age, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law.

3.10 Quality Plan. Seller and Buyer shall establish a quality plan which will define the quality practices, the resources and the activities relevant to Products that are designed and/or manufactured for Buyer. This plan will define how the quality requirements will be met and will be approved in writing by both Parties.

3.11 Product Recalls.

(a) If, in the judgment of Seller or Buyer, any Product defect or any government action requires a recall of, or the issuance of an advisory letter regarding, any Product, either Party shall undertake such recall or issue such advisory letter only after notification to and consultation with the other Party. Each Party shall notify the other Party within ** ** of becoming aware (as such phrase is defined in 21 CFR 803) of any issue that could lead to a field action related to the Products. The Parties shall endeavor to reach an agreement prior to making any recall or issuing any advisory letter regarding the manner, text and timing of any publicity to be given in such matters in time to comply with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements, but such agreement will not be a precondition to any action that either Party deems necessary to protect users of Products or to comply with any applicable governmental orders or mandates. The Parties agree to provide reasonable assistance to one another in the event of any recall or issuance of any advisory letter. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to manage any Product recall.

(b) In the event of a recall of Product, Seller shall correct any deficiency relating to its manufacturing, packaging, testing, labeling, storing or handling of Product, if applicable, or cause the vendor of any material, component, or sub-assembly incorporated into Product to do likewise with respect to such material, component, or sub-assembly, and shall, at Seller’s option, either (i) at its cost replace each unit of Product recalled (including units held in inventory by Buyer or its customers) with a corrected Product within a reasonable period of time, or (ii) refund the Buyer’s purchase price thereof. Seller shall promptly pay or reimburse Buyer for its costs and expenses (i.e., shipping, quality control testing, and notification) incurred by Buyer as a result of any recall or advisory letter; provided, however, that if the recall is related to requirements or Specifications (i.e., materials, design or process changes, and Product claims) originating with Buyer, then Buyer will pay the costs and expenses incurred for such recall.

3.13 Compliance with Laws. Seller will comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the Regulatory Authorities set forth in the Specification, as amended, pertaining to the testing, manufacture, labeling or packaging of Products or pertaining to performance by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement, including the maintenance of ongoing quality assurance and testing procedures to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Buyer shall give Seller at least ** ** advance written notice of any change to its labeling procedures prior to the date when such changes are to take affect. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall pay Seller for ** ** Reimbursements, as set forth in Section 2.3 above. All Products will be marked to make it clear that they have been manufactured by Seller and are being distributed by Buyer. Buyer may include Product as a component in any kit or collection of products. Buyer maintains the right to over-label Products as it deems necessary or appropriate in accordance with work instructions, procedures, and label text/graphics, which are mutually approved by both Parties hereto. Seller is not responsible for any over-labeling or any consequences thereof. As used in this Agreement, “Specifications” for the Product means the specifications set forth on Exhibit A, as revised from time to time pursuant to the next sentence, and as provided by Seller and approved by Buyer, including the part number, revision level, controlled drawing, and packaging and sterilization instructions for the Product and all requirements of any applicable laws and regulations of the Regulatory Authorities, specified therein. The Parties understand that the Specifications may need to be revised from time to time up to the Product Launch Date. Each version (each, a “Revision Level”) of the Specifications will be labeled with a Revision Level number (“Revision Level Number”), starting with “A-1,” and continuing sequentially with “A-2,” “A-3,” etc., and each revision of the Specifications will be so labeled and attached to this Agreement. Each subsequent Revision Level will replace and supersede all former Revision Levels for all purposes hereunder, except with respect to Article 4 of this Agreement. Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A as of the Effective Date is Revision Level “A-1.”
