If there is a dispute regarding whether or not a Deliverable is Defective ("Disputed Deliverable"), then (a) analysts from both parties will directly communicate to determine the Parties' respective methods of analysis are the same and are being executed in the same manner, and to attempt to determine whether any non-compliance may have been caused during the shipment of the sample from CMC's Facility, and (b) carefully controlled and split samples as agreed should be sent from one site to another for testing in an attempt to reach agreement (which may involve Customer sending a representative and a sample of the Disputed Deliverable to CMC, and the parties conducting jointly agreed upon tests on the Customer sample of the Disputed Deliverable and a sample of the Disputed Deliverable retained by CMC).  The parties will use good faith efforts for a period of [*] after completing such tests to resolve whether the Disputed Deliverable is Defective due to CMC's failure to manufacture in accordance with this Agreement.  In the event the parties cannot resolve their dispute in the manner described, a mutually agreed-upon independent laboratory shall be asked to test the Disputed Deliverable.  The costs of such independent laboratory shall be borne by the parties equally; provided, however, the Party that is determined to be incorrect in the dispute shall be responsible for all such reasonable costs and shall reimburse the correct Party for its share of such reasonable costs incurred.  The decision of such independent laboratory shall be in writing and shall be binding on both CMC and Customer.  With respect to all Product that Customer properly rejects, Customer shall destroy all remaining unused Product as soon as possible after CMC’s request.  In no event may Customer use any of the rejected Product for any human clinical testing or trials after it becomes aware of the basis for such rejection, and Customer shall indemnify CMC for all liabilities, costs and damages incurred by CMC resulting from Customer’s breach of this limitation on use.

Severability
