(a) For purposes of this Section 4.14, the terms “recall” and “field corrective action” shall have the respective meanings set forth in Siemens Procedure GP-003 Version 9.0 effective March 9, 2012 (“GP-003”). In the event that any Product non-conformity or governmental authority may require a recall of Product (a “Recall”), Siemens shall apply GP-003 to determine whether such Recall is appropriate. Siemens shall be solely responsible for the conduct of Recalls and field corrective actions, including all filings, submissions and communications with regulatory agencies and for all customer communications on the matter. Each party shall be solely responsible for any internal costs (e.g., staff time and travel costs) incurred by such party in connection with any Recall. The parties’ respective responsibilities with respect to external expenses (i.e., expenses paid to Third Parties, refunds for recalled Product, replacement Product, and shipping costs for replacement Product) incurred by them in connection with any Recall shall be as set forth below:
(i) *[REDACTED]
(ii) *[REDACTED]
(iii) *[REDACTED]

(b) In the event of a Recall, Siemens shall be permitted to inspect, audit and otherwise have access to UBI’s facility records, and personnel in accordance with Article 10 of this Supply Agreement, except that Siemens may perform such an inspection/audit on one week’s prior notice.
5. PRODUCT WARRANTY; ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION; CLAIMS.
5.1 Product Warranty. UBI warrants to Siemens that: (a) each lot of Product delivered to Siemens hereunder will, at the time of Delivery, have the manufacturing date specified on UBI’s delivery docket for such Product; and (b) each lot of Product delivered to
* Confidential portion has been omitted and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
Siemens hereunder (1) will, at the time of Delivery and during the Warranty Period (defined below), conform to the applicable Specifications in effect at the time of Delivery (including the minimum shelf-life requirements included in such Specifications) and be free from defects in material and workmanship, and (2) will have been manufactured in compliance with UBI’s obligations under the QAA in effect at the time of Delivery (collectively, the “Product Warranty”). The Product Warranty for a Product shall begin on Delivery and expire on the applicable expiration date for such Product (the “Warranty Period”); provided, however, that the Product Warranty with respect to a Product delivered to Siemens hereunder shall be void (and the Warranty Period shall terminate) if: *[REDACTED].
5.2 Acceptance; Rejection. No later than the first day of the month preceding the Initial Shipment Month, the parties shall establish notification procedures for Product rejections and claims for breach of the Product Warranty. Such notification procedures (rather than the provisions of Section 15.5 hereof) shall apply to all notices and communications required or permitted under this Section 5.2 or under Section 5.3 or Section 5.5, and the terms “notice” and “notify” (and similar terms) as used in this Section 5.2 or in Section 5.3 or Section 5.5 shall be deemed to refer to notification in accordance with such notification procedures. Siemens is entitled to reject any shipment of Product that fails to conform to the Product Warranty at the time of Delivery, provided that Siemens has first taken reasonable steps to confirm that the failure to conform to the Product Warranty did not result from Siemens or the carrier’s failure to handle or transport Product in accordance with Section 4.9 and the Specifications and has provided UBI with written certification that Siemens has taken such steps. In order to reject a shipment of Product (or any portion thereof), Siemens must give written notice to UBI of Siemens’s rejection of such Product within *[REDACTED] after Delivery, which notice shall specify Siemens’s reason(s) for rejection. If no such notice of rejection is received within *[REDACTED] after Delivery, Siemens shall be deemed to have accepted such shipment. (For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding Siemens’ acceptance or deemed acceptance of any shipment of Product, Siemens shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Section 5.3 with respect to claims for breach of the Product Warranty.) Within *[REDACTED] of receiving any notice of rejection from Siemens, UBI will respond stating whether (a) it accepts the rejection or (b) it disputes the rejection, in which case the parties will refer such dispute to a mutually acceptable independent third party laboratory. Such independent laboratory shall analyze the applicable Product and shall determine whether such Product conformed or did not conform to the Product Warranty. The parties agree that such laboratory’s determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. The party against whom the independent laboratory rules shall bear the costs of analysis by such independent laboratory, and if such laboratory determines that Siemens’ rejection of Product was incorrect, Siemens will pay for both the initially rejected and replacement Product. Product rejected by Siemens will be returned to UBI at UBI’s request and expense. Within *[REDACTED] of receipt of any notice of rejection, UBI shall supply replacement Product at no additional cost.
5.3 Warranty Claims. If, during the Warranty Period for a Product delivered hereunder, Siemens discovers that such Product fails to conform to the Product Warranty, then, provided Siemens notifies UBI of such non-conformity as promptly as practicable but in any event within *[REDACTED] of Siemens’ discovery of such non-conformity, and in any event
* Confidential portion has been omitted and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
prior to *[REDACTED], UBI shall promptly, at Siemens’ sole option, either replace such Product with conforming Product within *[REDACTED] thereafter, or issue Siemens a credit in the amount of the purchase price paid by Siemens for such defective Product; provided, however, that in the case of any claim made pursuant to this Section 5.3 after expiration or termination of this Supply Agreement, UBI shall refund to Siemens the purchase price paid by Siemens for such defective Product. Siemens’ notice to UBI shall include a detailed description of the basis for Siemens’ warranty claim. At UBI’s request and expense, Siemens shall return the defective Product (or such quantity thereof as Siemens has in its possession or control) to UBI. If UBI in good faith disputes the basis for Siemens’ warranty claim, the parties will refer such dispute to a mutually acceptable independent third party laboratory for resolution, and the costs of such laboratory’s analysis shall be borne by the non-prevailing party, in each case, as described in Section 5.2, mutatis mutandis. Except as expressly set forth in Sections 4.13 and 4.14 and Article 12 of this Supply Agreement and Article 17 of the Collaboration Agreement, this Section 5.3 and Section 5.2 above collectively set forth Siemens’ exclusive remedy, and UBI’s sole liability, for delivery of any lot of Product (or portion thereof) that fails to conform to the Product Warranty; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to limit Siemens’ rights or UBI’s obligations hereunder with respect to Failures to Supply or Persistent Supply Failure (e.g., under Section 3.15, 3.21 or 8.3(c)).
5.4 Product Inspection. Siemens, at its option and upon reasonable prior notice to UBI, shall have the right to inspect any and all Product at UBI’s facility to ensure conformity to the Product Warranty. Such inspections may be made no more frequently than once every six months, or in the event of a Recall.
5.5 HHS Warranty. Siemens warrants to UBI that all HHS-Supplied Material delivered to UBI hereunder will, at the time of delivery to UBI, conform to the mutually-agreed specifications for such HHS-Supplied Material in effect at the time of such delivery, including the minimum shelf-life requirements included in such specifications (collectively, the “HHS Warranty”).
6. FORCE MAJEURE.
Neither party shall be liable for any failure to perform, or delay in performing, hereunder by reason of any event beyond such party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of a public enemy, war, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, acts of the governments of any state or political subdivision or any department or regulatory agency thereof or entity created thereby, quotas, embargoes, acts of any person engaged in subversive activity or sabotage, fires, floods, earthquakes, other natural forces, explosions, accidents or other catastrophes, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes or other labor stoppages, slowdowns or disputes, lack or failure of transportation facilities, or lack or failure of supply of raw materials, or any other event similar to those enumerated above (“Force Majeure”), provided, that (i) the affected party shall keep the other party fully informed as to any events likely to result in failure to perform hereunder, and (ii) the affected party shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome such Force Majeure.
* Confidential portion has been omitted and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
7. END-OF-LIFE OR DISCONTINUATION OF MANUFACTURE; NOTIFICATIONS.
7.1 Intent to Discontinue Manufacture. UBI agrees to supply all Products subject to the terms and conditions of this Supply Agreement throughout the Term. In the event that UBI intends to discontinue manufacture of all Products, UBI shall provide Siemens with as much notice as reasonably practicable under the circumstances, but no less than *[REDACTED] notice, and the parties shall develop a plan to transfer the Manufacturing Know-How and responsibility to Siemens for all Products in accordance with the second paragraph of Section 3.21, mutatis mutandis; provided, however, that, in such case, *[REDACTED]. In such event, Siemens shall have the right to use the Manufacturing Know-How solely for the purpose of exercising the licenses granted to Siemens pursuant to Section 8.1.1(c) of the Collaboration Agreement as applicable to the Products only for so long as such licenses remain in effect, subject to the terms and conditions of the Collaboration Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Per-Strip Fees and bonus payments to UBI in accordance with Sections 7.2 and 7.3, respectively, of the Collaboration Agreement.
7.2 End-of-Life Mitigation Process and Strategy. UBI shall at all times maintain and keep Siemens advised of its end of life mitigation process and strategy for CRMs. If UBI is notified by suppliers and distributors of the end of availability of a given CRM due to obsolescence or manufacturing changes, UBI will notify Siemens promptly in writing with attached documentation from the supplier or distributor supporting the notification. UBI will use commercially reasonable efforts to work with suppliers and distributors of CRMs to give no less than *[REDACTED] advance written notice of end-of-life decisions to Siemens, and to *[REDACTED].

8.4 Effect of Expiration or Termination.

Code of Conduct for Siemens Suppliers
Siemens Corporate Responsibility
A fundamental and central part of Siemens’ strategy is safeguarding the future success of Siemens and its business partners. Through a focus on Corporate Responsibility, Siemens is committing to address economic, social, ethical and environmental issues in its policies and practices. In furtherance of the foregoing: (A) SUPPLIER shall comply with the principles and requirements of the “Code of Conduct for Siemens’ Suppliers” attached, (here in after the “Code of Conduct”). (B) SUPPLIER will provide Siemens within reasonable time after such request with a written self assessment as reasonably required by Siemens. (C) SUPPLIER agrees that Siemens or a third party appointed by Siemens may on reasonable notice carry out inspections (audits) on SUPPLIER’s premises to verify their compliance with the Code of Conduct. (D) SUPPLIER confirms that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to forward the contents of the Code of Conduct to their suppliers and to convince them to meet the principles and requirements of this Code of Conduct.
Commercial Supply Chain
Siemens supports internationally recognized initiatives to secure the commercial supply chain (e.g., C-TPAT, WCO SAFE Framework of Standards) so as to assure freight and or merchandise is not compromised contrary to law. Therefore, SUPPLIER must implement reasonable security control standards to ensure integrity and correctness of merchandise and accompanying commercial documentation relative to the Siemens transaction. SUPPLIER must reasonably address the following disciplines when delivering merchandise to the Buyer.
Procedural Security: Procedures should be in place to protect against un-manifested materials being introduced into the supply chain.
Physical & Access Security: SUPPLIER’s facilities should be safeguarded to resist unlawful entry and protect against outside intrusion. Adequate measures should be considered for positively identifying employees, visitors, and vendors and to prevent unauthorized access to information technology systems.
Education and Training Awareness: A security awareness program should be provided to employees covering cargo integrity, determining and addressing unauthorized access and communication protocols for notifying policing agencies when suspected or known illegal activities are present.
Conveyance Security: SUPPLIER should implement reasonable steps to protect against the introduction of unauthorized personnel and materials in conveyance (e.g., containers, trucks, drums, etc.) destined to Siemens.
If as a result of facilitating a shipment to Siemens, SUPPLIER suspects a supply chain security breach or concern after the dispatch from its facility, SUPPLIER is obligated to notify Siemens immediately.
Code of Conduct for Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Suppliers
This Code of Conduct defines the basic requirements placed on Siemens’ suppliers of goods and services concerning their responsibilities towards their stakeholders and the environment.
