7.2 In the event that CLARUS determines that any shipment of API does not conform to the Specifications or is otherwise unacceptable after testing via the agreed upon methods and testing equipment, then CLARUS shall give XIANJU notice thereof, accompanied by a reasonably detailed statement of its reasons for rejection (the “Objection Notice”). All shipments of API received by CLARUS shall be deemed accepted unless an Objection Notice is sent to XIANJU within [***] of receipt of the applicable Batch of API.

In case of any disagreement between CLARUS and XIANJU as to whether the API conforms to the Specifications, CLARUS and XIANJU agree as a first line of action to coordinate a teleconference between the parties’ respective Quality Control/Quality Assurance personnel to resolve the issue of the particular Batch in question of perceived non-conformity. The Quality personnel of each party shall endeavor, without unreasonable delay, to resolve the quality issue within [***]. If such a resolution cannot be agreed upon in the [***] timeframe between the Quality personnel of each party, a sample of the API and the FDA retained sample will be submitted for retesting by CLARUS and XIANJU on a side-by-side basis for final determination of whether such API conforms to the Specifications. Such retesting shall be performed in a laboratory suggested by CLARUS and agreed to by both parties.

Representatives from each of the parties shall be entitled to be present at such re-testing. The findings of such laboratory shall be binding on the parties. The expenses of such retesting shall be borne by XIANJU if the testing confirms non-conformity, and otherwise borne by CLARUS if testing results confirms conformity. In the event of any non-conforming API, CLARUS shall return and XIANJU shall accept back or have destroyed in the US, the non-conforming shipment and replace it with conforming API of the same quantity. Should CLARUS elect not to accept replacement goods, XIANJU will [***]. In the event of non-conforming API, XIANJU [***] that CLARUS may have [***] with respect to such non-conforming API, which [***] shall be limited to [***] of such API, and any and all prorated transportation and holding charges incurred by CLARUS in connection with the delivery from Xianju of such API.

7.3 In the event that CLARUS shall be required, solely based upon non-conformity of the API, or shall voluntarily decide to recall any product that has been demonstrated by competent independent laboratory testing to incorporate non-conforming API manufactured by XIANJU pursuant to this Agreement, then XIANJU shall cooperate with CLARUS in implementing such recall. If such recall is initiated specifically because of any failure of the API to conform to the warranties set forth in this Section 7, XIANJU shall share with CLARUS the relevant costs associated with such recall based upon a non-confirming API, including without limitation, the Purchase Price paid by CLARUS with respect to the recalled API and any reasonable and justifiable expenses for which proper documentation as proof of expenses incurred by CLARUS in connection with such recall as a result of non-conforming API.

16.10 Force Majeure. Each party shall be excused for any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, if such failure or delay is caused by Force Majeure, provided that such party shall (a) promptly notify the other party in writing of the occurrence or circumstance upon which it intends to rely to excuse its performance, (b) immediately resume performance after the cause of delay is removed, and (c) use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of such delay. In the event of a Force Majeure affecting XIANJU’s performance, XIANJU will allocate materials, personnel and resources equitably and not give any preference to any particular customers including to XIANJU itself. For purposes of this Agreement, “Force Majeure” shall mean any act of God, accident, explosion, fire, storm, earthquake, flood, drought, riot, embargo, civil commotion, strike, war, act of war, act or order of any governmental authority, inability to obtain or delay in the delivery of raw materials, parts or completed merchandise by XIANJU thereof, or any other circumstances or event beyond the reasonable control of the party relying upon such circumstance or event provided, however, that the party affected shall exert its best efforts to eliminate or cure or overcome any of such causes and to resume performance of its covenants with all possible speed.

16.11 Dispute Resolution.

(a) In the event of disputes arising in connection with this Agreement, the parties shall try to come to an amicable settlement by submitting the dispute in writing to the Chief Executive Officers of CLARUS and XIANJU (or such persons’ designee of equivalent or superior position). Should they fail to settle the dispute amicably within [***], the dispute shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association Rules in effect, such arbitration to take place in New York City, each party to bear its own costs of arbitration. Each party shall appoint one arbitrator and the arbitrators so chosen shall appoint a third arbitrator.

(b) The arbitration decision shall be final and binding upon the parties involved and may not be appealed to any court in any jurisdiction. The prevailing party may enter such decision in any court having competent jurisdiction should the non-prevailing party not comply with the binding decisions awarded to the prevailing party by the agreed upon arbitrator (as provided in Section 16.11(a)).

(c) Each party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrators shall be equally shared, provided that if, in the opinion of the arbitrators, any claim by a party hereto or any defense or objection thereto by the other party was unreasonable, the arbitrators may in their discretion as part of the award allot any part of the arbitration expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorney’s fees) and expenses of the arbitrators against the party raising such unreasonable claim, defense or objection.

(d) Either party may, without inconsistency with this Agreement, apply to any court having jurisdiction hereof and seek injunctive relief so as to maintain the status quo until such time as the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.

17. RELATIONSHIP OF CLARUS AND XIANJU. The relationship between CLARUS and XIANJU that is created by this Agreement shall be that of vendor and purchaser, and, as to each other, the parties hereto are independent contractors and not that of a partnership, principal and agent, or joint or co-venturers. In the performance of this Agreement, neither Party shall have the authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility; either expressed or implied, on behalf of or in the name of the other Party or to bind the other Party or its Affiliates in any manner whatsoever.
