or intentionally wrongful act or omission of LHI, genetic alterations shall not be the basis for a breach of warranty claim by CLIENT. If LHI fails to deliver materials in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or a Statement of Work, or if materials produced pursuant to the Statement of Work fail to meet any technical specification required by the Statement of Work, and such failure is due to genetic alterations which do not arise from a grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful act or omission of LHI, LHI will re-perform the specific project at issue at the earliest practicable time, for an additional fee equal to the original fee for that part of the project.
4.6 Records. LHI will maintain accurate records for the production of the Product, as required by applicable laws and regulations.

If such dispute cannot be settled within 30 days of the submission by each Party of such related paperwork and records to the other Party, and if the Product is alleged not to conform with the Product Warranties set forth in Section 5.1(a), then CLIENT will submit a sample of the Batch of the disputed Product to an independent testing laboratory of recognized repute selected by CLIENT and approved by LHI (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) for analysis, under quality assurance approved procedures, of the conformity of such Batch of Product with the Specifications. The costs associated with such analysis by such independent testing laboratory will be paid by the Party whose assessment of the conformity of the Batch of Product with the Specifications was mistaken.
5.4 Remedies for Non-Conforming, Damaged, or Destroyed Product.
5.4.1 In the event that the Parties agree, or an independent testing laboratory determines, pursuant to Section 5.3, that a Batch of Product materially fails to conform to the Product Warranties, or Product and/or Materials are destroyed or damaged by LHI Personnel, due to the failure of: (a) LHI personnel properly to execute the SOW Documentation, (b) LHI personnel to comply with cGMP, or (c) the Facility utilities, then, at CLIENT’s written request, LHI will commence, as soon as it is commercially practicable to do so and not later than 30 days after such written request, unless the Facility is not available due to prior obligations which cannot be postponed, produce one time for CLIENT sufficient quantities of Product to replace the non-conforming, damaged or destroyed portion of such Batch of Product (the “Production Rerun”), in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and at no additional cost to CLIENT.
5.4.2 In the event that the Parties agree, or an independent testing laboratory determines, pursuant to Section 5.3, that a Batch of Product materially fails to conform to the Product Warranties, or Product and/or Materials are destroyed or damaged by LHI Personnel, for any reason other than as set forth in Section 5.4.1, then LHI shall have no liability to CLIENT with respect to such Batch, Product or Material and LHI will, at CLIENT’s request, produce for CLIENT a Production Rerun at CLIENT’s expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.4, if during the manufacture of Product pursuant to this Agreement, Product or Materials are destroyed or damaged by LHI Personnel while LHI Personnel were acting at the written direction of CLIENT Personnel, then LHI will have no liability to CLIENT as the result of such destruction or damage.
5.4.3 CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy with respect to (i) the failure of Product to conform with any of the Product Warranties and (ii) damaged or destroyed Materials and/or Product, is as set forth in this Section 5.4, and in furtherance thereof, Client hereby waives all other remedies at law or in equity regarding the foregoing claims.
