If FDA or other authorities contact either Party to inquire about or investigate the Products sold under this Agreement, the contacted Party, unless required to

“[*] Designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the Commission.”

maintain confidentiality by such authorities, shall inform the other Party immediately thereof. The Parties shall co-operate closely to clear any regulatory issues or potential regulatory issues promptly.

     13.5 In the event NK decides to take any product corrective action (including notification, recall, removal and correction) with respect to the Product sold or distributed by NK, regardless of whether such action is initiated to comply with applicable laws or regulations or for other reasons, the Parties agrees that: a) NK shall be the point of contact for purchasers of its Products (whether directly of through its distributors); b) after discussion between the parties, NK will “define the action to be taken” and c)during the course of recall of the Product, CSI shall work with NK to provide replacement Product if required by end users customers to minimize any downtime of replacement Product. In such cases, CSI shall provide NK with efficient quantity of replacement Product as soon as possible for NK’s immediate action to end users customers and d) CSI shall reimburse NK for direct costs of the type set forth below which are in incurred by NK to implement such actions,

     As used herein, “define action to be taken” means;

	i)		In the event of any recall of any Product, CSI shall work with NK to provide investigation of scope and root cause of the Product failure, and provide a corrective action plan for any found cause of the Product failure.
	ii)		Defining the effectiveness check procedure (to establish the corrective action has been completed).
	iii)		CSI shall make every effort to pursue any necessary actions against the Vendor or Supplier responsible for the Product.
	iv)		If NK submits a corrective action request that accompanies an end users customer returned Product that requires immediate response, then Seller shall respond with scope of problem evidence of registration and initial plan for root cause analysis within 72 hours of the request.

The type of costs reimbursable under d) above are: mailing, telephone, telefax and printing charges for shipment of the Product to NK back to CSI; and direct labor costs to receive and handle returned Product and to replace the Product to end users customer. In case that it is necessary for NK to confirm that Product is manufactured under appropriate manufacturing and quality control, NK has a right to audit such system.
