11. INABILITY TO SUPPLY

11.1. If Leica is unable to meet the Delivery Date for any Products under any particular Firm Purchase Order (“Delayed Products”), it shall notify GenMark in writing as soon as possible, and include in such notice its best estimate for the delay in delivery anticipated. Leica shall, at its own cost, use reasonable commercial efforts to remedy any such delay as soon as possible. Except for during the first year of the Initial Term of the Agreement, and provided that Leica does not deliver the Delayed Products within thirty (30) days after the original Delivery Date (or such later date consented to by GenMark in its sole discretion), GenMark shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies GenMark may have at law or in equity, to cancel all or part of the Firm Purchase Order relating to such Delayed Products. Notwithstanding anything else, except where Leica’s failure to meet a Delivery Date is due to a breach of this Agreement by GenMark or due to Product parts being unavailable to Leica despite its reasonable efforts to procure them, Leica’s right to cure a failure to meet a Delivery Date shall be limited to delivering the Products at issue on or before the new delivery date in accordance with this Section 11.1.

11.2. Subject to Section 16 and the other applicable Sections of this Agreement, GenMark is solely responsible for Technical Problems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Leica becomes aware of any Technical Problems with respect to any Products supplied to GenMark (before or after the delivery thereof), Leica shall immediately provide GenMark with a description of the Technical Problems and the corrective action required, as well as time-lines and costs estimates for the implementation of such corrective actions (“Corrective Action Plan”).

11.3. If GenMark approves the Corrective Action Plan, then Leica will use its reasonable endeavours to implement the corrective action, at GenMark’s cost, in accordance with the Corrective Action Plan.

11.4. If GenMark does not approve the Corrective Action Plan, then Leica will be under no obligation to implement any corrective action in respect of the Technical Problems.

12. DELIVERY TERMS

12.2. If GenMark is of the opinion that Products delivered by Leica do not conform with the corresponding Firm Purchase Order, GenMark must provide Leica with written notification thereof within 10 Business Days of the actual receipt of the Products. Neither this Section 12.2 nor Section 12.3 shall limit GenMark’s rights, or Leica’s obligations, with respect to any Warranty Non-Compliance.

12.3. If:

12.3.1. Leica has not received any such notification within 10 Business Days of the date of delivery; or

12.3.2. GenMark on-sells the Products (regardless of whether Leica has received any such notification, within 10 Business Days of the date of delivery or otherwise),

Leica - GenMark Supply Agreement Page 15

13.6. Leica reserves the right to apply an interest charge from the payment due date, calculated daily, using the Australian General Interest Charge (GIC) at the payment due date, for all invoices (other than invoices disputed in accordance with Section 13.5) that fall overdue by more than thirty (30) days. In addition, provided that Leica has provided GenMark written notice of an overdue payment, Leica may, if payment has not been made within thirty (30) days of such notice, stop all work under this Agreement until payment is received. If GenMark fails to pay invoices on the due date on more than three (3) occasions during any one (1) year period, where Leica has provided written notice to GenMark of overdue payment, then GenMark will be deemed to be in material breach of this Agreement. If Leica stops work as permitted in accordance with this Section 13.6, all applicable Delivery Dates will be automatically extended by the number of days during which Leica was permitted to stop work.

14. SPECIFICATION AND MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTION CHANGES

14.1. Leica will ensure that the Manufacturing Instructions are set forth in writing and will provide the same to GenMark from time to time upon GenMark’s request. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the Appendicies), Leica may, without GenMark’s prior written approval, make changes to the Specifications and/or Manufacturing Instructions, provided that such changes will not impact the form, fit, and function of a Product or otherwise affect the status of any approvals, licenses or clearances applicable to a Product (“Authorised Changes”).

Leica - GenMark Supply Agreement Page 17

14.7.3.2. advise GenMark that it is unable to make the changes to the Specifications and/or Manufacturing Instructions requested by GenMark, but Leica may only so advise where the requested change is contrary to:

14.7.3.2.1. an applicable legal or regulatory requirement or obligation; or

14.7.3.2.2. any of Leica’s obligations under this Agreement (unless GenMark agrees in writing to waive such Leica obligation in such instance, in which case Leica may not rely on this paragraph 14.7.3.2.1. to refuse to make a requested change).

14.7.4. After receipt of a submission under Section 14.7.3, GenMark shall either:

14.7.4.1. accept the submission, or

14.7.4.2. reject the submission in its reasonable discretion.

Upon GenMark’s acceptance of the submission, the Parties will amend this Agreement as appropriate to address such submission and the agreed changes reflected therein. GenMark acknowledges that until such time as a submission is accepted in accordance with this Section 14.7.4, Leica will continue to supply the Products in conformity with the then current Specifications and Manufacturing Instructions (as well as in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement).

14.7.5. For changes made to any Product as a result of any changes to the Specifications or Manufacturing Instructions in accordance with this Xxxxxxx 00, Xxxxx promptly and without delay will send to GenMark documentation that comprises at least the following information (in addition to the submission required by Section 14.7.3 and any amendments to this Agreement required by Section 14.7.4): A detailed description of the changes which have been implemented in the Product; a listing of the serial number of Product that is affected by the change, and of the part numbers of any parts of the Product that are so affected; where necessary and as agreed to by the Parties, verification and/or validation documentation for the change; and update service instructions related to the change (for field services relating to such change). In addition, Leica will create new serial numbers and Product part numbers for all Products so changed, so as to differentiate such Products and Parts from the predecessor Products and parts, and shall promptly and without delay communicate the same to GenMark. For Product upgrading purposes (for earlier serial numbers), Leica will provide GenMark with a list of required Spare Parts and instructions to perform the upgrade. With respect to obsolete stock that GenMark is required to pay for in connection with accepted changes, such stock shall become the property of GenMark upon payment thereof, and GenMark shall have the right to direct Leica to dispose of said obsolete stock (at Leica’s expense), with Leica providing suitable proof of such disposal to GenMark.

14.7.6. Should a GenMark-approved change to the Specifications require a change to a Product’s interface or compatibility with third party hardware or software, Leica will (at GenMark’s cost) manage the process necessary for relevant interfacing and compatibility activities and carry out the quality control tests and analyses relating thereto. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, GenMark remains entirely responsible for all reasonable costs (including, without limitation, research and development costs) directly incurred by Leica in making and implementing any such approved interface and compatibility changes to the Product.

Preamble

GenMark is a global producer of innovative in-vitro-diagnostic devices. The requirements placed on these products must meet the highest expectations. For this reason, the quality of products supplied and the reliability of LBS are decisive criteria for an enduring cooperation between LBS and GenMark based on a spirit of partnership.

GenMark and LBS have entered into an agreement for the contract manufacture and supply of certain products (Supply Agreement).

LBS produces and delivers fully manufactured products. LBS is willing and able to supply goods to GenMark in accordance with the requirements of GenMark as set out by this Quality Assurance Agreement.

The contractual partners agree that the quality and reliability of technical products can only be optimized and improved in the future if their cooperation is based on a spirit of partnership, forming the basis of future business relationships in the selection of the quality assurance system, in the planning of production of products, in the examinations accompanying the process and in the test equipment employed. GenMark and LBS acknowledge the necessity for the development, production and marketing of products (both medical and non-medical) of national and international laws, directives, methods, legislative and non-legislative requirements to be observed, including and without exception the laws, regulations and standards specified in this Quality Assurance Agreement.
