Xxxxxx is not responsible for non-conforming Commercial Product that is caused by Celator-supplied Components including without limitation API.

7.2.3B In the event Xxxxxx agrees that Commercial Product is non-conforming to Product Requirements, or the laboratory or consultant determines that Commercial Product is non-conforming to the Product Requirements solely as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx shall (i) incur the cost of Production of the replacement Commercial Product, and (ii) reimburse Celator for its actual cost of Celator-supplied Components including without limitation the API for the replacement Commercial Product, which cost shall not exceed ****************.

7.2C Disposal of Non-Conforming Product. All non-conforming Products shall be returned to Xxxxxx for disposal. If the non-conforming Product was solely due to Xxxxxx’x negligence or willful misconduct or solely due to Xxxxxx’x breach of its representations and warranties under this Agreement, Xxxxxx shall be responsible for the costs of disposal.

7.3 Exceptions. Production deviations and investigations which occur during Production of Product and which do not cause the Production to be non-compliant with cGMP or with Specifications shall not, in and of themselves, be deemed to cause such Product to be non-conforming. Should the Parties disagree that a Production deviation should be cause for rejection of Product, the Parties shall agree to a mutually acceptable third party Qualified Person to make the determination regarding disposition of the Batch.
