β
4.3. | Regulatory Inspections. Manufacturer agrees to inform Hyperfine within [***] ([***]) hours of notification of any regulatory inquiry, communication or inspection, which directly or indirectly relates to the manufacture of Products. In the event Manufacturer receives a notice of inspection or an inspection visit by any Governmental Authority, which involves a Product or could impact Manufacturerβs ability to produce a Product, Manufacturer shall notify Hyperfine within [***] ([***]) hours of notification by such Governmental Authority. Hyperfine, at its option, shall have the right to have its representatives present at any such inspection by a Government Authority.

Manufacturer shall immediately investigate such incident or accident, and Manufacturer shall provide a written report of the results of the investigation of such incidence or accident to Hyperfine within [***] ([***]) business days of completion of the investigation. For avoidance of doubt, such notification shall not relieve Manufacturer of any of its obligations or liability hereunder, or waive any of Hyperfineβs rights with respect thereto. |
β
4.6. | Field Corrective Actions. In the event of a field corrective action, Hyperfine shall have full control and authority over the coordination of the action, and Manufacturer shall use diligent efforts and cooperate in good faith.
