5.2 Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each Contract Quarter, LICENSEE shall provide a forecast for the Products it will purchase from LICENSOR under this Agreement during the next two Contract Quarters, including quantities for each Product and requested delivery schedules for each Product and for each Contract Quarter (each a “Rolling Quarterly Forecast”). Each Rolling Quarterly Forecast shall evidence a binding obligation of LICENSOR to supply the Product and for LICENSEE to purchase the Product set forth on such Rolling Quarterly Forecast. Subject to the foregoing, each time the Quarterly Rolling Forecast is updated, LICENSEE may increase the quantities forecast for the Contract Quarter immediately preceding the current Contract Quarter by up to five percent (5%) and may decrease the quantities forecasted for that same Contract Quarter by no more than five percent (5%). Further adjustments to said Contract Quarter purchases may be made upon the written agreement of the Parties provided, LICENSOR shall not deny a request by LICENSEE for an increase in the quantity of Products forecasted for said Contract Quarter if, after taking into account any other orders or commitments LICENSOR may have for its products in that period, it possesses sufficient materials and labor to supply the LICENSEE’S request for additional Products pursuant to the delivery schedule proposed. For a Contract Quarter that has not been previously forecast, LICENSEE may set the forecast, at any level mutually acceptable by the Parties. Notwithstanding the five percent (5%) threshold, subject to LICENSOR capacities related to productions runs, in the event the Parties are not able to agree upon the quantity of Product to be purchased by LICENSEE in a new Contract Quarter, LICENSEE shall have the right to increase its purchase by up to twenty percent (20%) of the quantity of each Product requested in the last Contract Quarter forecasted. The quantities of each Product and delivery dates set forth in each Rolling Quarterly Forecast shall be evenly spread over each such quarter unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. The Products shall be purchased and paid for by LICENSEE pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No term or condition set forth in any purchase order or sales acknowledgment will have any effect other than the identification of Products ordered, quantity of each Product, delivery dates (subject to the provisions herein) and other general non-contractual invoice information. All other terms and conditions contained in any such purchase orders or sales acknowledgments shall be deemed null and void. The terms set forth in this Agreement shall apply to all purchase orders placed by LICENSEE and accepted by LICENSOR.
5.3 In the event:
(a) LICENSOR is unable to manufacture LICENSEE’s requirement of Product pursuant to the Rolling Quarterly Forecast and such inability continues for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice from LICENSOR to LICENSEE of such inability, or
(b) LICENSEE elects upon one hundred and twenty (120) days prior written notice to LICENSOR to manufacture all or a portion of LICENSEE’s requirement of Product,
LICENSEE shall be permitted to employ the license granted under Article 2 to manufacture the amounts and types of Product required under the Rolling Quarterly Forecast pursuant to the terms of this Section. In addition, in such a circumstance, LICENSEE may sublicense the right to manufacture said Products subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as necessary to a contract manufacturer designated by LICENSEE and approved by LICENSOR, with said approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Prior to granting any such sublicense, LICENSEE will secure from said contract manufacturer a confidentiality agreement containing terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to LICENSOR but in no event less restrictive than the terms contained herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, LICENSEE will, at its expense, adhere to and enforce said confidentiality agreement and shall indemnify and hold harmless LICENSOR from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, damage, causes of action and liabilities of every kind and nature asserted by any party or incurred by LICENSOR which result from or arise out of any license granted or used pursuant to the terms of this Section. Any sub-license granted under this Section shall be revocable and specifically limited to producing Product for LICENSEE pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any sublicense permitted hereunder shall not be sub-licensable or assignable. LICENSEE shall not be required to pay LICENSOR the Purchase Price for Product produced by LICENSEE or its contract manufacturer pursuant to this Section, but shall pay LICENSOR the Royalty Payment set forth in Section 4 for each such Product or System.

LICENSEE reserves the right to test Product from each production run, employing the procedure outlined in the Specifications Disclosure (Product Acceptance Test Criteria), within fifteen calendar (15) days of receipt of each Product order. Product not meeting the Specification, if not damaged in shipping or by improper handling, may be rejected by LICENSEE as non-conforming upon notice made to LICENSOR within the aforementioned period. Failure to provide said notice in accordance with this provision shall bar any claims by LICENSEE with respect to the Products delivered.
5.5 LICENSOR will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply LICENSEE replacement Products within thirty (30) days following receipt of a notice of rejection issued in compliance with the terms of Section 5.4. LICENSEE shall, with said notice provide LICENSOR with any Products believed to be non-conforming and all reasonable information LICENSOR may request with regard to such Products. If LICENSOR agrees the Products do not meet Specifications, the Products LICENSOR provides as a replacement hereunder shall be provided without charge. LICENSOR shall have the right, at its expense, to inspect any Products LICENSEE deems non-conforming. If LICENSOR disagrees with LICENSEE’s determination or determines that the Products were damaged in shipping or handling and the Parties are unable to resolve the issue then such Products shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable third party test facility. Said test facility shall determine whether the Products in question meet the Specifications and, if so, if the failure was due to damage inflicted in shipping or handling. The Parties agree that such test facility’s determination shall be final and determinative. If such test facility determines that the Product in question did meet Specifications, LICENSEE shall accept the Product and shall pay for each Product as well as any replacement Products shipped by LICENSOR as a result of a rejection notice. The foregoing shall be LICENSEE’s sole remedy for non-conforming Product. LICENSEE shall not return any Products, at any time unless (i) such Products are non-conforming, as determined by the provisions of this Section and (ii) upon prior written approval of LICENSOR.
