However, PONIARD shall have the right to revoke acceptance if, within *** (***) months of receipt of the Batch, PONIARD discovers latent defects not reasonably discoverable during a proper chemical incoming goods inspection at time of acceptance. If nonconformance with the Specifications of the delivered Picoplatin API is of such kind that it could not be detected during a proper chemical incoming goods inspection, PONIARD shall be obligated to send a written notice of defects to Heraeus regarding any nonconformance with the Specifications within *** (***) working days as of the date of getting knowledge of such nonconformance with the Specifications. If PONIARD fails to notify Heraeus in writing within the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 5.9 that any shipment of Picoplatin API does not conform to the Specifications, then PONIARD shall be deemed to have accepted the Product and waived its right to revoke acceptance.

PONIARD may reject the shipment of Picoplatin API following release of the Batch pursuant to this Section 5.9 if Heraeus shipped the Picoplatin API in a manner that does not comply with PONIARD’s transportation and storage requirements or if PONIARD has grounds for rejection under Section 4.4(b). All notices rejecting a shipment hereunder shall include a description of the grounds for rejection. Heraeus shall not be liable for damage or loss to the Picoplatin API occurring following delivery of the Picoplatin API to PONIARD’s designated carrier, except where caused by Heraeus failing to provide proper instructions to PONIARD’s designated carrier or failure of Heraeus to properly package the Picoplatin API.

Article 6 Rejected Picoplatin API

6.1 Rejection of Nonconforming Picoplatin API

If PONIARD detects nonconformance with the Specifications of Picoplatin API or cGMP Requirements, PONIARD shall notify Heraeus of the rejection including a detailed explanation of the nonconformance according to Section 4.4 or 5.9. Upon receipt of such notice, Heraeus shall investigate such alleged nonconformance, and (a) if Heraeus agrees that such Picoplatin API was nonconforming at the time of delivery, Heraeus shall replace the Picoplatin API pursuant to Section 6.3 or (b) if Heraeus disagrees with PONIARD’s determination that such Picoplatin API was nonconforming at the time of delivery, Heraeus shall dispute the rejection pursuant to Section 6.2.

6.2 Dispute of Rejected Products

Heraeus may, at its option, within *** (***) Business Days of receipt of any notice rejecting any Batch pursuant to Section 4.4 or 6.1 challenge such rejection by notifying PONIARD of such challenge in writing.

(a) In the event that Heraeus challenges a rejection caused by nonconformance of the Picoplatin API to the Specifications, PONIARD and Heraeus shall conduct a joint investigation to determine the cause of the failure. If the parties cannot resolve this challenge within * (*) Business Days after PONIARD’s receipt of Heraeus’s challenge, then the parties shall submit a sample of the Picoplatin API to an independent testing laboratory acceptable to both parties for testing against the Specifications. The test results of the independent laboratory testing shall be final and

11 binding upon PONIARD and Heraeus, and the fees and expense of such testing shall be borne by the party against which the independent laboratory makes its findings.

(b) In the event that Heraeus challenges a rejection caused by nonconformance to the cGMP Requirements, PONIARD and Heraeus shall conduct a joint investigation to determine the cause of the failure. If the parties cannot resolve this challenge within * (*) Business Days after PONIARD’s receipt of Heraeus’s challenge, then the parties shall mutually agree to appoint an independent consultant with specific expertise in the cGMP area of dispute whose judgement will be final and binding upon PONIARD and Heraeus, and the fees and expense of such consultation shall be borne by the party against which the consultant makes their findings.

6.3 Replacement of Nonconforming Picoplatin API

In the event that a shipment of Picoplatin API is nonconforming, Heraeus shall be obligated to deliver to PONIARD, within *** (***) working days from the date either of agreement by Heraeus of nonconformance or of determination of nonconformance pursuant to Section 6.2, conforming Picoplatin API as substitute. If during the above mentioned grace period Heraeus should not deliver any Picoplatin API as substitute free of charge or if the Picoplatin API delivered subsequently should not be in conformance with the Specifications, PONIARD may withdraw from the respective Firm Purchase Order and claim damages from Heraeus instead of performance. Such damages, in terms of amount, shall be limited to *** of the nonconforming quantity of Picoplatin API delivered. Any claim for any loss of profit or loss of sales or any other economic loss shall be excluded unless Heraeus has caused such nonconformance of Picoplatin API intentionally. PONIARD shall pay for the replacement Picoplatin API unless it has previously paid for the nonconforming Picoplatin API.

6.4 Destruction of Rejected Products

PONIARD shall be obligated to return any rejected Picoplatin API to Heraeus, but only after the parties have followed the procedures specified under Section 6.3. If the nonconformance was due to Heraeus’s negligence or misconduct or to Heraeus’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, as may be agreed by Heraeus or determined by the independent testing laboratory or consultant named in Section 6.2, Heraeus shall receive the net platinum value of the rejected Picoplatin API and shall bear the costs associated with Picoplatin API replacement. In the event that PONIARD chooses to return Picoplatin API conforming to the Specification at the time of delivery and which is fully paid by PONIARD for destruction, PONIARD shall receive the net platinum value of the rejected Picoplatin API.
