9.2 Remedies upon Rejection or Return

9.2.1 At the Purchaser’s option but at the Manufacturer’s expense, the Purchaser will either (a) return nonconforming Products to the Manufacturer and require the Manufacturer to either rework or destroy the nonconforming Products, or (b) inform the Manufacturer and destroy (or cause a designated third party to destroy) the nonconforming Products.

9.3 Liquidated Damages

9.3.1 The Manufacturer acknowledges that its failure to deliver conforming Products to the Purchaser may have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s sales and revenues and that the actual amount of damages the Purchaser would sustain because of such failure may be difficult to ascertain with certainty. Therefore, if during a calendar quarter more than 10% of the Products delivered by the Manufacturer fail to conform to the Specifications or the requirements in Exhibit C, the Purchaser will be entitled to deduct a Quality Credit from the next invoice it receives from the Manufacturer in the amount of the invoice value of each Product that was nonconforming.

9.3.2 The Purchaser confirms that the annual order quantity placed with the Manufacturer will not be less than fifty two (52) shipments, on which premises if over 10% of such shipments are late for delivery in a calendar year due to the Manufacturer’s own reason, the Purchaser will be entitled to deduct a Quality Credit from the next invoice it receives from the Manufacturer in the amount of the invoice value of each Product that was delivered late.

9.3.3 During any calendar year, the Quality Credit paid by the Manufacturer will not exceed $2,000,000 or 20% of the aggregate Compensation paid or payable by the Purchaser for Product during the immediately preceding twelve (12) months, whichever is greater. The Manufacturer’s liability for Quality Credits will be subject to the limitation of liability amounts in Section 13.2.

9.3.4 The Manufacturer acknowledges and agrees that the Quality Credit is reasonable compensation for the actual loss of the Purchaser and is in no event to be considered a penalty, and if the Quality Credit is deemed unreasonable or not enforceable by the court as specified under Article 22, the amount of the Quality Credit should be the maximum amount permitted under applicable Laws. This Quality Credit will be in addition to the remedy stated in Section 9.2.2 above.

This limitation will not, however, limit the Purchaser’s remedies for other breaches of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Quality Credit limits stated in Section 9.3.3 and the limitation of liability stated in Section 13.2 will apply even if Purchaser terminates this Agreement.

9.6 Known Defects

(b) Bodily injury, illness, disease or death caused by the purchase or use of the Product that fails to conform to this Agreement or the Specifications attached hereto, except to the extent caused by Production Materials provided by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (unless the Manufacturer knew and did not inform the Purchaser promptly of any such issues posed by the Purchaser-provided Product Materials).

(c) Any Claim that any of the Products, any of the means used to manufacture the Products, or the Purchaser’s use or resale of the Products constitutes an infringement of any patent or misappropriation or misuse of any trade secret, except to the extent the Claims arises from the Specifications or Production Materials provided by the Purchaser or its Affiliates.
