Prior to each shipment of the Light Source, NBC shall perform quality control procedures, inspections and tests to verify that the Light Source to be shipped conform materially with the Specifications. Each shipment of components of the Light Source shall be accompanied by a certificate of conformance describing all current requirements of the Specifications, results of tests performed certifying that the Light Source supplied have been -4- Execution Copy Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked "[c.i.]" to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information.

As soon as either party becomes aware of a Latent Defect in any Light Source it shall immediately notify the other party as to the serial number(s) of the Light Source(s) involved, which at DUSA's election, shall be deemed rejected as of the date of such notice. NBC agrees to [C.I.] all Light Source(s) so involved [C.I.]. For purposes of this Section 3.4, "defect" shall mean that a Light Source fails to conform to the warranties given by NBC herein; however, "defect" for purposes of the foregoing, shall [C.I.]. 3.5 Presence at Facility. Upon [C.I.] given by DUSA to NBC, DUSA shall have the right to assign a reasonable number of employees or consultants of DUSA to inspect and audit the Facility at which Light Source are manufactured in order to verify NBC's compliance with QS and other agreed requirements, provided, however that (i) such employees or consultants shall not unreasonably interfere with other activities being carried out at the Facility, (ii) that such employees or consultants shall observe all rules and regulations applicable to visitors and to individuals employed at the Facility, and (iii) such employees or consultants agree to maintain the Confidential Information of NBC in accordance with Article 9 below. 3.6 Changes. DUSA shall have the right to modify the Specifications from time to time. All such modifications shall be in writing and shall be signed by an authorized representative of DUSA and NBC, and shall be effective for orders of applicable units placed after such notice. If such modifications result in a material change in [C.I.] as shown by [C.I.], the parties shall agree upon [C.I.] of the Light Source hereunder; and if such modifications result in a delay in delivery, the parties shall negotiate a reasonable extension of the affected lead times. NBC shall not make any changes in the manufacturing process, materials or critical suppliers without the prior written consent of DUSA which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

A recall of DUSA's products (including the Light Source) for any reasons other than those set forth in this Section 6.6 (including reasons due to force majeure) above shall not affect DUSA's obligation to purchase Light Source units in accordance with Article 2 herein above, as may be modified, or DUSA's obligation under any outstanding purchase order hereunder. 6.7 Documentation.
