In the event the Failure to provide a Rejection Notice to Jubilant within the applicable 30-day period shall constitute acceptance by Cadista of the shipment, unless mutually agreed between the two parties. (“Accepted Product”). Rejection Notices that are provided by Cadista shall state in reasonable detail (sufficient to enable Jubilant to identify the nature of the problem for tests or studies to be conducted by or on its behalf or to dispute the same) the reason why Cadista believes the Product does not conform to its Specifications and/or the Product warranties contained in Section 8.1.

(b) Cadista’s test results or basis for rejection shall be conclusive unless Jubilant notifies Cadista within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt by Jubilant of receipt of the above mentioned samples that it disagrees with such test results or basis for rejection. Jubilant may only assert a disagreement if it alleges that the defects were introduced by Cadista. If Cadista and Jubilant fail to agree within fifteen (15) Business Days after Jubilant’s notice to Cadista as to whether any Product identified in the Rejection Notice deviates from the Product Specifications for such Product or fails to comply fully with the Product warranties contained in Section 8.1, representative samples of the batch of the Product in question, together with mutually agreed upon questions, shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable independent laboratory or consultant (if not a laboratory analysis issue) for analysis or review. The results of such applicable independent evaluation shall be binding upon the Parties. If Jubilant and Cadista determine by agreement, or if such evaluation certifies that the Product was properly rejected by Cadista, Cadista may reject the Product in the manner contemplated by Section 6.4(d). The Party that is determined to have been incorrect in its determination of whether the Product complies fully with the Product Specifications and the Product warranties contained in Section 8.1 shall pay all of the costs of such independent evaluation, including, without limitation, laboratory fees and additional shipping and transportation costs. Should the fees associated with the work conducted by the independent laboratory or consultant be due up front, Cadista and Jubilant shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of such upfront fees; provided, that if it is determined by the independent laboratory or consultant that either Party shall have been incorrect in its determination as to whether the Product complies fully with the Product Specifications and the Product warranties contained in Section 8.1, such incorrect Party shall reimburse the other Party for such fifty percent (50%) of such fees within ten (10) Business Days of such determination by the independent laboratory or consultant, as the case may be.
(c) If any order of a Product is rejected by Cadista, Cadista’s obligation to pay Jubilant in respect of the rejected Product shall be suspended until such time as the rejection is determined or otherwise agreed to be incorrect per Section 6.4(b). If only a portion of an order is rejected, only the duty to pay the amount allocable to such rejected portion shall be suspended.

Jubilant shall make arrangements with Cadista for the return or destruction, at Jubilant’s option and cost, of any rejected Product.
