completing a specific work order.
(c) Product shall be delivered F.O.B. North American shipping
destination (with the specific destination to be determined by
DAS), freight prepaid by Mallinckrodt, no earlier than three (3)
days prior to the requested delivery date, and no later than the
delivery date. Mallinckrodt will be responsible to make such
arrangements regarding the shipping of Product to designated
destinations as DAS shall reasonably request.
6. ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTIONS AND RECALLS.
(a) If DAS reasonably determines that any Product is defective in
material or workmanship, not in conformance with applicable
Specifications, is adulterated or misbranded, or is otherwise not
in conformity with this Supply Agreement (Product meeting any or
all of such circumstances hereinafter referred to as a "Defective
Product"), then (DAS), in addition to any other rights it may have
under this Supply Agreement, may reject and return any such
Products to Mallinckrodt. At the time of any such rejection, DAS
shall provide Mallinckrodt with a written notice describing in
detail the circumstances surrounding the rejection and DAS'
reasons therefor. If DAS rejects any such Products it will, at
Mallinckrodt's option, either return them to Mallinckrodt or
destroy or dispose of them in the least expensive and most
environmentally sound manner. In any event, Mallinckrodt shall be
responsible for the costs of any such return, destruction or
disposal. It is understood that DAS' sole remedies hereunder in
the event of a Defective Product it has rejected will either be
(i) the replacement by Mallinckrodt of rejected Products that have
either been returned or destroyed with Products that are not
Defective Products or (ii) a full refund of any amount paid
hereunder by DAS for such Defective Products, including all
reasonable transportation and testing costs.
(b) Any Product received by DAS from Mallinckrodt that has not been
rejected by DAS within sixty (60) days after receipt shall be
deemed to have been accepted, except where such Product contains a
nonconformity that was not discovered by DAS after reasonable
inspection, in which case DAS shall have an additional sixty (60)
days after it discovers such nonconformity within which to reject
such Product according to the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)
above.
(c) If DAS reasonably decides to or is required to initiate a product
recall, withdrawal or field correction with respect to, or if
there is any governmental seizure of, its products containing any
Product supplied hereunder which action is due, in whole or in
part, to (i) a failure of any of the Product manufactured by
Mallinckrodt hereunder to conform to applicable Specifications
(including, without limitation, it being
4
adulterated or misbranded), or any warranty or other requirement
set forth in this Supply Agreement, (ii) the failure by
Mallinckrodt to comply in all material respects with any
applicable law, rule, regulation, standard, court order or decree
or (iii) the negligent or intentional wrongful act or omission of
Mallinckrodt in connection with the production of Product
hereunder, DAS will notify Mallinckrodt promptly of the details
regarding such action, including providing copies of all relevant
documentation concerning such action. Mallinckrodt will fully
cooperate with and use diligent efforts to assist DAS in
investigating any such situation. All regulatory contacts that are
made and all activities concerning seizure, recall, withdrawal or
field correction will be coordinated by DAS and Mallinckrodt. The
costs of the same shall be apportioned as set forth below.
(d) If any such recall, withdrawal, field correction or seizure occurs
due solely to (i) a failure of any Product sold by Mallinckrodt
hereunder to conform to applicable Specifications (including,
without limitation, it being adulterated or misbranded) or any
warranty or other requirement set forth in this Supply Agreement,
(ii) the failure by Mallinckrodt to comply in all material
respects with any applicable law, rule, regulation, standard,
court order or decree or (iii) the negligent or intentional
wrongful act or omission of Mallinckrodt in connection with the
production of Product hereunder, then Mallinckrodt shall bear the
full cost and expense of any such seizure, recall, withdrawal or
field correction. If any such recall, withdrawal, field correction
or seizure occurs due solely to (i) any pharmaceutical product
manufactured, sold or distributed by DAS that contains Product
failing to conform to its applicable specifications (including,
without limitation, it being adulterated or misbranded) or
otherwise being defective, (ii) the failure of DAS to comply in
all material respects with any applicable law, rule, regulation,
standard, court order or decree or (iii) the negligent or
intentional wrongful act or omission of DAS, then DAS shall bear
the full cost and expense of any such seizure, recall, withdrawal
or field correction, If both Mallinckrodt and DAS contribute to
the cause of a seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction,
the cost and expenses thereof will be shared in proportion to each
party's contribution to the problem.
7. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
(a) Mallinckrodt will comply in all material respects with all
federal, state and local laws, regulations and standards

on a confidential basis satisfactory to both parties, any
information, including without limitation business and technical
information, experience or data regarding any facility, programs,
laboratories, processes, products, costs, equipment operation or
customers, relating to the manufacture or sale of Product
hereunder. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality and
non-use shall survive the termination or expiration of this Supply
Agreement for a period of five (5) years. Nothing herein shall

applicability of one of the exclusions from the obligation of
confidentiality set forth in the immediately preceding sentence
shall have the burden of proving the applicability of any such
exclusion in any particular circumstance.
(b) Each party acknowledges that any breach by it of the
confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 12 would

that has been harmed by any such breach shall have the right to an
injunction or decree for specific performance, in addition to any
other rights and remedies such party may have at law or in equity.
(c) Upon any termination of this Agreement, each recipient party will
promptly return or destroy, at the discretion of the disclosing
party, any confidential information of the disclosing party.

18. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the substantive and procedural laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law
provisions) of the State of New York.
19. WAIVER.
The failure by any party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to
enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Supply Agreement on any
occasion shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of that party's
rights thereafter to exercise any rights hereunder or to enforce each
and every term and condition of this Supply Agreement.
20. MODIFICATIONS.
This Supply Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a
writing specifically referring to this Supply Agreement and executed by
duly authorized representatives of both parties. The obligations of the
parties are governed by the terms and conditions of this Supply
Agreement and none of the general terms and conditions of any DAS
purchase order or any Mallinckrodt acknowledgment or any substantially
similar documents of either party will in any case be controlling or
supersede the provisions hereof.
21. SEVERABILITY.
A determination that any portion of this Supply Agreement is
unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or
validity of any of the remaining portions hereof or of this Supply
Agreement as a whole. In the event that any part of any of the
covenants, sections or provisions herein may be determined by a court
of law or equity to be overly broad or against applicable precedent or
public policy, thereby making such covenants, sections or provisions
invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall attempt to reach agreement
with respect to a valid and enforceable substitute for the deleted
provisions, which shall be as close in its intent and effect as
possible to the deleted portions.

22. HEADINGS.

Supply Agreement, and shall have no effect upon the construction or
interpretation of any part hereof.

This Supply Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and each
executed counterpart shall be considered an original of this Supply
Agreement.
24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
This Supply Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding
of the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter and supersedes
any and all prior agreements, understanding or discussions, whether
written or oral, between the parties.
