In such case, Buyer shall also provide Manufacturer with a reasonable opportunity to inspect and/or test such Product.
5.4 Disputes Regarding Conformity. In case of any disagreement between Buyer and Manufacturer as to whether Product conforms to the applicable Specifications, the quality assurance representatives of Buyer and Manufacturer will attempt in good faith to resolve any such disagreement and Buyer and Manufacturer will follow their respective SOPs to determine the conformity of the Product to the Specifications. If the foregoing discussions do not resolve the disagreement in a reasonable time (which will not exceed [**]), a representative sample of such Product will be submitted to an independent testing laboratory mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Manufacturer for tests and final determination of whether such Product conforms with such Specifications. The laboratory must be of recognized standing in the industry, and consent to the appointment of such laboratory will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by either Manufacturer or Buyer. Such laboratory will use the applicable Test Methods contained in the Master Batch Record. The determination of conformance by such laboratory with respect to all or part of such Product will be final and binding on all parties absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the laboratory incurred in making such determination will be paid by Manufacturer, if the determination is made against Manufacturer, or by Buyer, if the determination is made against Buyer. The Parties agree that any dispute with respect to whether Product has been Manufactured in accordance with cGMP shall be subject to Section 14.12 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution).
5.5 Product Defects and Remedies. If it is determined that Product does not meet the Specifications [**], then Manufacturer shall, [**], and as soon as it is commercially practical to do so following receipt of any required Raw Materials and, [**] Buyer Supplied Items, at Manufacturer’s cost and expense, either (a) re-perform the Manufacturing Services for such Product at Manufacturer’s sole cost and expense other than the original price for such Services; or (b) provide Buyer a credit for the amounts paid by Buyer to Manufacturer for such Product. [**]. The Parties acknowledge that obtaining a specific quantity of Product with respect to any Batches is not guaranteed by Manufacturer. [**].
14

Concurrent with each delivery of Product, Manufacturer shall provide Buyer with an electronic copy of the Certificate of Analysis and notice that the Product has been made available for pick up by Buyer’s designated carrier, including the quantity of Product made available for shipment. For clarity, Batches delivered hereunder will be [**] the delivered Product.
6.3 Wood Pallets. This clause applies to all Product and/or materials shipped or delivered to Buyer, its Affiliates or authorized locations on wood pallets. Wood pallets must be constructed from lumber sourced from countries that prohibit the treatment of wood with any form of halophenol based chemicals (including but not limited to [**]). Wood pallets used must have been heat treated only in accordance with the Heat Treatment standards set forth in International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures Publication No. 15, 2009 Revision (ISPM 15). Additionally, the sourced lumber or finished pallets shall not be shipped or stored with pallets or materials that may contain the chemicals mentioned above. While ISPM 15 currently provides for the use of Methyl Bromide (MB), the use of pallets fumigated with Methyl Bromide is also prohibited. All wood pallets must be labeled with the HT stamp in accordance with ISPM 15 Annex II. Failure to meet the above requirements of this paragraph may lead to rejection of shipments at Manufacturer’s expense.

14.12 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.
a.Other than disputes arising under Section 5.4 (which shall be addressed as set forth in Section 5.4), the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to settle any dispute arising hereunder promptly by negotiations between representatives of Buyer and Manufacturer who have authority to settle the controversy. If the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within [**] following the referral of the dispute to such representatives, such dispute shall be submitted to mediation using a professional mediator selected by agreement from the American Arbitration Association, the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution or like organization, or absent agreement, through selection procedures administered by the CPR. Within a period of [**] after the request for mediation, the Parties agree to convene with the mediator, with business representatives present, for at least one session to attempt to resolve the matter. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute through mediation, the dispute will be solely and finally settled by arbitration, which shall be conducted in New York, New York, by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) designated by the American Arbitration Association. The Parties hereby renounce all recourse to litigation and agree that the award of the Arbitrator shall be final and subject to no judicial review. The Arbitrator shall conduct the proceedings pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as now or hereafter amended. All substantive questions of law shall be determined under the laws of the State of New York, USA (without regard to the principles of conflict of laws of such state). Judgment on the award of the Arbitrator may be entered into any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which enforcement of the award is being sought, and the Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of any such court for the purpose of enforcing any such award. The Arbitrator shall divide all costs (including, without limitation, fees of counsel) incurred in conducting the arbitration in his/her final award in accordance with what he/she deems just and equitable under the circumstances.
b.Rule 14 of the CPR Rules does not apply to this Agreement. All aspects of the mediation and arbitration shall be treated as confidential.
c.EACH PARTY HERETO [**].

14.14 Allocations of Risk. Each provision of this Agreement that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages is to allocate the risks of this Agreement
