Section 2.7 Limitations to Supplier’s Obligations. In addition to any other limitation or exclusion of Supplier’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations or liability hereunder, the Parties agree as follows:

(a) Customer as Sole Beneficiary.

Under no circumstance shall any Supplier Party be obligated to provide Contract Manufacturing Services that would exceed the capacity of any Supplier Party; provided, however, that Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to increase production when determined to be appropriate to supply Contract Manufacturing Services, for example, by increasing shifts. If the volumes, quantities or levels of the services provided with respect to any Contract Manufacturing Service during the Term result in a material increase in costs or expenses (beyond those costs and expenses included in COGS) associated with the provision of such Contract Manufacturing Service, each of Customer and Supplier shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to account for such cost or expense increases, and any obligation of Supplier to provide Contract Manufacturing Services in a volume, quantity, or level in excess of that provided to the SpinCo Business during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Effective Date shall be conditioned upon such amendment.

If Supplier determines that it is necessary to temporarily suspend Contract Manufacturing Services due to the shutdown or the operation of any IT Assets, facilities, machinery, equipment or similar assets used in the provision of a Contract Manufacturing Services due to scheduled or emergency maintenance, modification, repairs, updates or upgrades, alterations or replacements, (any such event, a “Shutdown”), Supplier shall provide Customer with reasonable prior written notice, which shall be provided promptly following the date established for any regularly scheduled Shutdown, of such Shutdown (including reasonable information regarding the nature and the projected length of such Shutdown), unless it is not reasonably practicable under the circumstances to provide such prior notice, in which case Supplier shall provide notice as soon as reasonably practicable, and, in each case, thereafter Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Customer to minimize and mitigate any impact on or disruption to the Contract Manufacturing Services or the SpinCo Business caused by such Shutdown, and minimize the duration of the Shutdown. Customer shall have no obligation to pay any fees for any Contract Manufacturing Services that were not received as a result of such suspension of Contract Manufacturing Services. If, however, Supplier or its relevant Supplier Party cannot provide such suspended Contract Manufacturing Service for a period of ten (10) consecutive days due to such Shutdown, then Customer reserves the right to terminate such affected Contract Manufacturing Service. In the event the obligations of Supplier or its relevant Supplier Party to provide any Contract Manufacturing Service shall be suspended or terminated in accordance with this Section 2.7(c), no Party shall have any Liability whatsoever to the other Party directly arising out of or solely relating to such suspension or termination of Supplier’s or its relevant Supplier Party’s provision of such Contract Manufacturing Service, except to the extent resulting from (1) a breach by a Supplier Party of any agreement or covenant required to be performed or complied with by a Supplier Party pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) (but subject to the other limitations on Liability set forth in this Agreement) or (2) the Shutdown was caused by Supplier’s negligence in operating the IT Assets.

(d) Legal Compliance. No Supplier Party shall be required hereunder to take any action (including by providing any Contract Manufacturing Services) that would constitute, or that Supplier reasonably believes would constitute, (i) a violation of any applicable Law, (ii) a material breach of any contractual obligations of Supplier or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any other violation of a third party’s Intellectual Property rights; provided, however, that in each of the foregoing circumstances, Supplier shall (x) provide Customer with prompt written notice upon becoming aware of such impediment and (y) if possible, work around the impediment to modify or perform the affected Contract Manufacturing Services in a manner that does not violate any applicable Law, Supplier’s contractual obligations or third party Intellectual Property rights and that is consistent with Section 2.5 at no additional cost to Customer. If, using commercially reasonable efforts, the Supplier Party is not able to provide the affected Contract Manufacturing Service without violating applicable Law, its contractual obligations or a third party’s Intellectual Property rights, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to identify a commercially reasonable alternative to the affected Contract Manufacturing Service.

(e) Product Regulatory Requirements. For the purpose of clarity, and without limiting any other limitation or exclusion of Supplier’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations or liability hereunder, Supplier Parties shall not be responsible for any Regulatory Requirements.

If the SpinCo TVOS Percentage increases by (a) more than fifty percent (50%) in the Applicable Facility in Brookings, South Dakota and/or (b) more than one hundred percent (100%) in the Applicable Facility in Wroclaw, Poland compared to the SpinCo TVOS Percentages for such Applicable Facilities for the prior calendar year, then Supplier shall provide a reasonably detailed analysis of the underlying reasons for such change(s) in the applicable SpinCo TVOS Percentage(s). If the resulting increase in manufacturing absorption costs, net of any variances, to the SpinCo Business was due to a decline in Supplier TVOS at the Applicable Facilit(ies) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not to the extent due to an increase or decrease in SpinCo Business TVOS), then Supplier shall promptly remit to Customer the amount of such increase in cost over the prior year.

Section 3.3 Ownership. Supplier acknowledges, on behalf of itself and each other Supplier Party, that the Customer Equipment, any replacements thereof, and all related drawings and other documentation related thereto are the property of Customer (or one of its Subsidiaries). Customer (or one of its Subsidiaries) retains all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Equipment and Supplier, on behalf of itself and all other Supplier Parties, disclaims any such interest other than its rights to use the Customer Equipment under and in accordance with this Agreement. Supplier shall not sell, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of any Customer Equipment and shall keep the Customer Equipment free from any Security Interest during the Agreement Term. Except as contemplated in Section 3.5, Supplier and its Subsidiaries shall not transfer or remove any Customer Equipment from any Supplier Manufacturing Facility without the prior written consent of Customer.

Section 3.4 Maintenance and Repair. During the Agreement Term, (a) Supplier shall, or shall cause its relevant Subsidiaries to, for no additional consideration, perform reasonable and ordinary maintenance and routine repairs to keep the Customer Equipment in good repair and working order and prevent the Customer Equipment from deteriorating (except, in each case, for any reasonable, ordinary course wear and tear); and (b) Customer shall be solely responsible for performing and paying all costs for any maintenance or repairs beyond such reasonable and ordinary maintenance and routine repairs to the Customer Equipment referred to in clause (a), except to the extent needed as a result of Supplier’s gross negligence, in which case Supplier shall be responsible for such costs. If, during the Agreement Term, Supplier identifies maintenance or repairs for which Customer would be responsible pursuant to clause (b) above, Supplier shall promptly provide Customer written notice of such repair or maintenance, including a good faith estimate of the time, disruption to operations and cost associated therewith and, if applicable a recommended third party vendor to perform such repair or maintenance; provided that a third party vendor shall only be selected by Customer to perform such repair or maintenance if the vendor is able to perform such work in a timely manner and is able to avoid undue disruption. Customer shall, within five (5) days (or fewer if the situation requires) of receipt of such notice, notify Supplier as to whether such maintenance or repair is approved (and whether Customer would prefer to conduct such repair using a different third party). If Customer elects for (i) Supplier to conduct such maintenance or repair, and Supplier is willing to undertake the repair, Supplier shall perform such maintenance or repairs in a manner materially consistent with the policies and practices applicable to repairs and maintenance for the Company Business, and Customer shall reimburse Supplier for a reasonable amount intended to reflect Supplier’s actual cost incurred in performing such maintenance or repair, or (ii) Supplier’s proposed third party to perform the repair or maintenance, Supplier shall negotiate and enter into an agreement with such third party vendors to perform the repairs or maintenance on the terms included in the notice provided to Customer, and Customer shall reimburse Supplier for its out-of-pocket expenses paid to such third party. If Customer desires to perform any such maintenance or repairs itself or using a third party provider to conduct such repairs or maintenance, Supplier shall grant such parties access to conduct such repairs or maintenance and shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith; provided, that, with respect to any such third party providers, Supplier or Customer can require that they are subject to restrictions on its use and disclosure of Supplier’s Confidential Information at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement. Supplier shall have the right to reasonably approve and condition access with respect to any third party providing maintenance and repair services hereunder at a Supplier Manufacturing Facility.

13

Section 3.5 Risk of Loss; Duty to Insure. The risk of loss or damage with respect to Customer Equipment remains with Customer during the Agreement Term, unless any such loss or damage (i) is primarily due to a Supplier Party’s failure to repair or maintain such Customer Equipment in accordance with Section 3.4 or (ii) Supplier’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in operating the Supplier Manufacturing Facilities, in which case of (i) and (ii), Supplier shall responsible for the risk of loss or damage. Until the Customer Equipment shall have been removed from the Supplier Manufacturing Facilities in accordance with Section 3.5, Customer shall insure the Customer Equipment against any risk of loss or damage thereto from any cause, including theft, pilferage, deterioration or casualty, except due to intentionally wrongful acts of Supplier. Except as otherwise stated in Section 3.3, Customer shall bear all costs to replace or repair any Customer Equipment that have been lost, damaged destroyed, or that are no longer in good repair and working order. All replacements of the Customer Equipment shall become property of Customer and will be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to be the Customer Equipment.

Section 3.6 Removal of Customer Equipment. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or upon the termination of any Contract Manufacturing Service at any Supplier Manufacturing Facility, Supplier shall, and shall cause its relevant Subsidiaries to, retain and provide reasonable assistance to Customer or a third party contractor (“Contractor”) selected by or consented to in writing by Customer, which shall remove from manufacturing operations, crate, and make available for transport (a) in the case of the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all Customer Equipment, or (b) in the case of the termination of any Contract Manufacturing Service at any Supplier Manufacturing Facility, all Customer Equipment at such Supplier Manufacturing Facility that is not used in the performance of any other Contract Manufacturing Service at such Supplier Manufacturing Facility, in each case in the same condition (except for any reasonable wear and tear) as such Customer Equipment was in on the Closing Date. Customer agrees to assume responsibility for, and pay all expenses in connection with, and reimburse Supplier for, reasonable costs (whether internal or external) incurred by Supplier and its relevant Subsidiaries in connection with the removal of Customer Equipment, including costs and expenses associated with (i) removing, crating, and making available for transport all Customer Equipment, which costs shall be agreed by the Parties in the Exit Plan, and (ii) restoring the areas of such facilities in which the Customer Equipment was located (and any other areas of such facilities that were impacted or damaged in connection with such removal) to a broom clean and safe condition including by (x) safely capping supply and discharge lines (electrical, liquids, gas, etc.) and (y) repairing any damage or holes to concrete, flowing, walls or ceilings. Customer shall also be responsible for making arrangements for, and paying all expenses associated with, transportation of the Customer Equipment. Supplier will propose a Contractor per the timeline agreed upon in the Exit Plan, or otherwise ninety (90) days prior to the expiration or (if possible) termination of this Agreement or any Contract Manufacturing Service and will share the name of the Contractor and the preliminary cost estimate and any other material terms provided by the Contractor to Customer. If Customer objects to the selected Contractor, Customer must notify Supplier of its objection within thirty (30) Business Days, and Supplier and Customer will work together in good faith to promptly identify an alternate third-party contractor that is mutually acceptable to Supplier and Customer. Supplier and Customer will cooperate to define exact timing for the removal of the Customer Equipment in the Exit Plan; provided, such removal and transportation shall be completed within sixty (60) Business Days following the date of such expiration or termination; provided, that such sixty (60) Business Day period may be extended as reasonably necessary as a result of any relevant travel restrictions due to COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measure or any Event of Force Majeure. Supplier agrees, from and after the date of such expiration or termination, to provide, or cause its relevant Subsidiaries to provide, Customer, its agents and employees access to those areas of the Supplier Manufacturing Facilities during reasonable business hours or otherwise in accordance with the Exit Plan, upon reasonable notice and subject to any applicable COVID-19 Measure, necessary for purposes of transporting such Customer Equipment. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein modifies the terms stated in Section 3.5. Supplier will invoice Customer for all expenses associated with this Section 3.6 promptly after Supplier incurs such expenses, as agreed in the Exit Plan.

Section 4.4 Price Changes for Non-TDSA Product. During the remainder of the Agreement Term after termination or expiration of the term of the TDSA, with respect to any Non-TDSA Product sold hereunder during the Term, in addition to the adjustment provided for in Section 4.3(b), if the price of any raw materials used in the manufacture of such Product has increased by at least ten percent (10%) relative to the price Supplier or any relevant Subsidiary was paying for such raw material as of the Effective Date, the Price of any such Product may be revised by an amount equal to the increase in such price of raw materials, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice delivered to Customer, provided that such increase shall not occur more than twice in any calendar year.

16

(b) Failure of Payment. Any payments due and payable pursuant to Section 4.2(a)) (which are not subject to an Objection Notice) and not made within the time required pursuant to Section 4.5(a) shall bear interest based on the federal funds rate in effect on the date such payments were required to be made through the date of payment. Without limiting other available remedies, Supplier reserves the right to suspend the performance of Contract Manufacturing Services under this Agreement upon failure of Customer or a designated Subsidiary of Customer to make any payment which is past due pursuant to this Agreement, which failure is determined to be a material breach of this Agreement, except to the extent that such payment is subject to a dispute pursuant to Section 4.5(a); provided, however, that Supplier must provide written notice of its intention to suspend, or cause to be suspended, performance of any such Contract Manufacturing Services and provide Customer thirty (30) days to cure such failure in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent any failure of Customer or a designated Subsidiary of Customer to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent it is determined to be a breach of this Agreement, shall be deemed a breach solely with respect to this Agreement (and not with respect to any other Transaction Document).

Section 4.6 Payment Dispute Resolution. If Customer disputes, pursuant to Section 4.5(a), any amount reflected in a Settlement Statement or Local Statement (if applicable), Customer must deliver to Supplier and relevant Subsidiary of Supplier an Objection Notice no later than thirty (30) days after receiving such Settlement Statement or Local Statement. Subject to Supplier’s audit rights herein and in any other Transaction Document, if Customer or Subsidiary of Customer does not deliver to Supplier and relevant Subsidiary of Supplier an Objection Notice during such thirty (30) day period, Customer and relevant Subsidiary of Customer shall be deemed to have accepted such Settlement Statement or Local Statement (or the undisputed charges therein) and no dispute with respect to such Settlement Statement or Local Statement (or such undisputed charges) may thereafter be commenced. Within ten (10) days of Supplier’s and relevant Subsidiary of Supplier’s receipt of such Objection Notice, the TCM Agreement Contacts shall discuss in good faith a resolution of such Dispute.

Any disputed amount under this Section 4.6 shall be paid within ten (10) days after the dispute has been finally resolved.

Section 4.7 Invoices.

(a) With respect to TDSA Product, TDSA Products purchased by Customer shall be then and there deemed to have been invoiced by Supplier or, as applicable, its relevant Subsidiary to Customer in accordance with this Agreement and Supplier’s or, as applicable, its relevant Subsidiary’s then current financial practices and accounting systems without the need for written invoices between them, except as may be required by applicable Law, or as otherwise agreed by the Parties.

17

(b) With respect to Products supplied during the Term after termination or expiration of the term of the TDSA and any other Non-TDSA Product, Supplier or its relevant Subsidiary shall invoice Customer promptly following shipment of any Product to Customer for the Price of such Product. Each such invoice shall be issued in the local currency of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Product was manufactured.

(c) To the extent the amount of any charge for any Product requires any currency exchange for any TDSA Product, Supplier shall convert such amount into U.S. dollars based upon the applicable foreign exchange rate reported by the foreign exchange rate services of Bloomberg using the average of each daily rate within the month on the day such Product was shipped (or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the Business Day immediately preceding such day). To facilitate the monthly Settlement Statement process, the amounts payable for Non-TDSA Product purchased and sold hereunder will be reflected on Settlement Statements issued during the term of the TDSA, but for any such purchases Customer would not be charged any Company Compensation. Upon written request by Customer’s TCMA Contact to Supplier’s TCMA Contact, Supplier shall make its personnel reasonably available to answer questions and provide supporting documentation (to the extent such documentation already exists or is otherwise routinely generated by Supplier in the ordinary course) with respect to any Settlement Statement or Local Statement (if applicable).

(d) To the extent the amount of any charge for any Product requires any currency exchange during the Term after the termination or expiration of the TDSA or with respect to any other Non-TDSA Product, Supplier shall convert such amount accordingly based upon the applicable foreign exchange rate typically used by the applicable Supplier or Supplier Subsidiary on the day such product is shipped.

Section 4.8 Taxes. The amounts set forth herein with respect to fees, charges, expenses and other amounts due hereunder are exclusive of all applicable stamp tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax, excise tax, transfer tax, sales tax, use tax, property tax, gross receipts tax, escheat/unclaimed property tax, withholding tax, payroll tax, or any similar tax, levy, assessment, tariff, duty (including customs duty), and any related charge or amount (including any fine, penalty or interest), imposed, assessed or collected by or under the authority of any Governmental Authority, that Supplier may be required to collect from Customer in connection with Supplier’s performance hereunder (“Covered Taxes”), excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any income, franchise, business and occupation or other taxes imposed in lieu of a tax on income. Customer shall be responsible for and pay any tax imposed as a result of its receipt of the Contract Manufacturing Services or imposed on it with respect to the payments due to Supplier hereunder. Any Covered Taxes required to be paid by Supplier in connection with this Agreement or the performance hereof will be promptly reimbursed to Supplier by Customer and such reimbursement shall be in addition to the amounts required to be paid by Customer as set forth in this Article 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall be responsible for any Covered Taxes (but only to the extent in the nature of, or constituting, penalties or interest) imposed as a result of a failure to timely remit any Covered Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority to the extent Customer timely remits such Covered Taxes to Supplier or Customer’s failure to do so results from Supplier’s failure to timely charge or provide notice of such Covered Taxes to Customer. In the event that Customer is required to deduct or withhold taxes in connection with any payments to Supplier, then Customer shall duly withhold and remit such taxes and shall pay to Supplier the remaining net amount after the taxes have been withheld. Customer shall promptly furnish to Supplier a copy of an official tax receipt or other appropriate evidence of any taxes imposed on payments made under hereunder. Supplier and Customer will cooperate with each other in order to minimize applicable Taxes (other than Covered Taxes) in a manner that is mutually agreeable and in compliance with applicable Law, including by timely signing and delivering (or causing to be timely signed and delivered) such certificates or forms as appropriate to establish any available exemption from (or otherwise reduce) any such Taxes. The Parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) minimize the amount of Taxes covered by this Section 4.8 or required to be withheld under applicable Law under this Section 4.8, (ii) claim the benefit of any exemptions or reductions in applicable rates, to the extent allowable under applicable Law, and (iii) furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon reasonable request, as promptly as practicable, information and assistance relating to the preparation and filing of any Tax return, claim for refund or other filings relating to Taxes described in this Section 4.8.

18

Section 4.9 Transition Financial Records. Supplier shall keep materially complete information relevant to verify the accuracy of the amounts due and payable under this Agreement, the TSA and the TDSA, including with respect to Supplier’s COGS and Standard Inventory Cost under this Agreement, Net Proceeds under the TDSA and Service Fees under the TSA (collectively, the “Transition Financial Information”). Customer shall have the right during the Agreement Term to request that Agreed Upon Procedures, as defined hereafter, be undertaken to verify the Transitional Financial Information (a “Review”). Upon Customer’s written request for a Review (which request shall be made no more than once annually during each year of the Agreement Term), Supplier shall, at Customer’s expense (including reimbursement of Supplier’s reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses) and the Personnel Review Charges (as described below), cause a mutually agreed upon independent public accounting firm (the “Review Firm”) to (a) review such records to verify the Transition Financial Information (for a reasonable period during the Agreement Term, specified by Customer) and (b) provide to Customer and Supplier a report (the “Report”) reasonably detailing their findings in connection with performing the specified procedures, including as applicable any amount of overpayment by Customer to Supplier or underpayment by Supplier to Customer, as applicable (collectively the “Agreed Upon Procedures”). If such Report reveals that Customer has overpaid Supplier or Supplier has underpaid Customer, in either case, by more than 5% for the applicable assessed period, then Supplier shall be fully responsible for the cost of the Review conducted hereunder, and shall (i) remit to Customer the amount of such overpayment as a credit in the next monthly Settlement Statement or, if Supplier is no longer delivering and remitting payments via Settlement Statements, then via direct remittance within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Report, (ii) remit to Customer the amount of any underpayment within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Report, and (iii) reimburse Customer for any Personnel Review Charges already paid by Customer in connection with such Review. If such Report reveals that Customer has underpaid Supplier or Supplier has overpaid Customer, in either case, by more than 5% for the applicable assessed period, then Customer shall remit to Supplier the amount of such underpayment as a debit in the next monthly Settlement Statement or, if Supplier is no longer delivering and remitting payments via Settlement Statements, then via direct remittance within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Report; provided, for clarity, in such scenario (i) Supplier shall bear its costs and expenses associated with such Review (including any Personnel Review Charges) and shall reimburse Customer for any such costs and expenses (including any Personnel Review Charges) already paid to Supplier and (ii) Supplier shall not seek or be entitled to any other reimbursement or payment from Customer in connection with such Review. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentences, Customer shall reimburse Supplier for Supplier’s personnel in connection with a Review, which shall be charged at a rate of $[* * *] per hour for the first 200 personnel hours of each Review, $[* * *] per hour for the next 100 personnel hours of the Review, and $[* * *] per hour for all additional personnel hours for such Review (the “Personnel Review Charges”). For avoidance of doubt the foregoing hourly rates apply per each Review conducted, and shall not be aggregated across Reviews conducted in accordance with this provision. Customer may request at any time that Supplier’s personnel cease to perform work associated with a Review; provided, that, if the Review Firm is unable to complete and deliver its Report because Customer so elects to cease such personnel’s performance, then the activities already undertaken in furtherance of such Review shall nevertheless satisfy Supplier’s obligation to permit one such annual Review pursuant to this Section 4.9, unless and until Customer confirms such personnel may resume and continue work associated with such Review; provided, that, such resumption of work must begin no later than thirty (30) days following the date on which Customer elected to cease such personnel’s performance. Customer shall also have the right, exercisable once in the six (6) months following the last to expire or terminate of the TSA, TDSA, and TCMA, to conduct a Review with respect to the Transition Financial Information relevant to the final year of the applicable Term. For the avoidance of doubt, the Review rights set forth in this Section 4.9, Section 2.8 of the TSA and Section 2.6(d) of the TDSA are not intended to be incremental to one another, but rather one common set of Review rights, which has been replicated in each of this Agreement, the TSA and the TDSA for ease of reference.

Article 5
CUSTOMER ORDERS AND FORECASTS

Section 5.1 Customer Orders of TDSA Product. With respect to TDSA Product, Customer’s orders to Supplier or relevant Supplier Subsidiary for Product shall be derived from and consistent with the Demand Plan for each such TDSA Product and when entered in Supplier’s or relevant Supplier Subsidiary’s systems by or for the SpinCo Business consistent with the practices of the SpinCo Business during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Effective Date shall be deemed a purchase order of Customer.

Each such Product Forecast shall be prepared in good faith and include, to the extent reasonably practical, a breakdown of the specific quantity of each such Non-TDSA Product that Customer plans to order during each month during the applicable twelve (12) month period.

(b) Customer agrees that, by delivering to Supplier each such Product Forecast, Customer will be deemed to have made a firm commitment to purchase each Product specified therein in at least the quantity specified therein for the first three (3) month period in the applicable twelve (12) month period (the “Binding Forecast”), which may be relied on by Supplier and any relevant Subsidiary in ordering raw materials and scheduling time needed to manufacture the Products; it being understood that Customer may adjust the quantities of the Products specified for any of the last nine (9) months in any Product Forecast by including such adjustments in any Product Forecast subsequently delivered to Supplier pursuant to Section 5.4(a).

(c) Subject to Section 2.7(b) of this Agreement, if Customer desires to purchase in any month a quantity of any Non-TDSA Product that would exceed or be less than the quantity of such Non-TDSA Product specified in the applicable Binding Forecast, Customer shall deliver to Supplier a written request to so deviate from the applicable Product Forecast. Within seven (7) Business Days after Supplier’s receipt of any such request, Supplier will deliver to Customer a written response informing Customer whether such request has been accepted or declined by Supplier; provided that Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accept such request as provided for in Section 2.7(b). If any such request is declined by Supplier, Customer shall be obligated to accept the portion of the request up to the quantities in the Binding Forecast of the applicable Non-TDSA Products in such month.

21

(b) Any such Product for which a defect is discoverable upon reasonable inspection and with respect to which Customer fails to deliver a notice pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(ii) within thirty (30) days after its delivery shall be deemed to have been accepted by Customer and cannot be returned, and Supplier shall have no obligation to replace such Product, except that in the event of breach of warranty pursuant to Section 7.1(c), the terms of Section 7.1(c) shall govern.

(c) Any such Product materially converted or altered by Customer (or any of Customer’s clients) shall be deemed to have been accepted by Customer and cannot be returned, and Supplier shall have no obligation to replace such Product, provided, that, if a material defect existed prior to such conversion or alteration and such defect was not discoverable upon investigation prior to such conversion or alteration, the Parties shall cooperate in the course of any investigation and potential arrangements for the replacement of defective product pursuant to this Agreement.

Article 6

Except with respect to Losses to the extent caused by Customer’s willful misconduct, in the event of any performance or non-performance, or anything else, arising under this Agreement that results in any Losses for which Customer, SpinCo or any of its or their Subsidiaries (each, a “Liable Customer Party”) is liable, the Liable Customer Parties’ aggregate, maximum, cumulative and sole Liability (including based on breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort, indemnity or any other legal or equitable theory) for such Losses, regardless of whether under this Agreement or under the TSA or the TDSA, in the aggregate under all such agreements shall not exceed a maximum amount of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000). Supplier shall provide written notice of any claim for Losses reasonably promptly after becoming aware of the actions giving rise to such claim or Losses, and must specify the Losses amount claimed and a reasonable description of the action giving rise to the claim; provided, that, no failure to give such notice will relieve a Liable Customer Party of any of its liability hereunder except to the extent that such party is actually prejudiced by such failure. No Liable Customer Party shall be liable in connection with this Agreement for any Losses that are punitive, special, exemplary, speculative, consequential, or otherwise not reasonably foreseeable, nor for any Losses related to or based upon diminution of value (including any type of valuation multiple or similar theory of damages). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall a Liable Customer Party be liable under this Agreement for any failure to the extent such failure was directly attributable to Supplier’s material breach of this Agreement.

(b) Supplier shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Customer and its Subsidiaries (each, a “Customer Recipient Party”) and their respective equityholders, members, partners, agents, Representatives, directors, officers, employees, and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Customer Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of the Customer Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Customer Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of claims, demands, lawsuits, or other Actions made or threatened against them by any non-Affiliated third parties to the extent resulting from or relating to (i) the Supplier’s breach of this Agreement or (ii) Supplier’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, except in each case (i) and (ii) to the extent such Losses are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Customer Indemnified Party, or a Customer Indemnified Party is obligated to indemnify Supplier pursuant to the other Transaction Documents.

(c) All claims for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.3(c) and subject to notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with Section 8.3. If a party believes in good faith it is entitled to assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.3, such party shall give the other party written notice of any such claim, including a description in reasonable detail of (i) the basis for, and nature of, such claim, including the facts constituting the basis for such claim, and (ii) the estimated amount of Losses that have been or may be sustained by the applicable indemnified party in connection with such claim. Any such notice shall be given promptly, generally not later than twenty (20) Business Days after the applicable party becomes aware of the facts constituting the basis for such claim; provided, however, that no failure to give such prompt written notice will relieve the indemnifying party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any such claim, the indemnifying party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of such claim at its own expense with counsel of its choosing, and the indemnified party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. If the indemnifying party elects not to control the defense of such claim, the indemnified party may control the defense of such claim with counsel of its choosing and the indemnifying party will be liable for the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of external counsel. The party that is not controlling such defense shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any claim with counsel selected by it. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense of any such claim, including by retaining, and providing to the party controlling such defense, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim and making available relevant employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The party that is controlling such defense shall keep the other party reasonably advised and informed of the status of such claim and the defense thereof. The indemnified party shall not agree to any settlement of such a claim for which it seeks indemnification without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party will not agree to a settlement without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement would (A) include a complete and unconditional release of each indemnified party from all Losses with respect thereto, (B) not impose any Losses (including any equitable remedies) on the indemnified party and (C) not involve a finding or admission of any wrongdoing on the part of the indemnified party.

27

(d) No right of indemnification shall exist under this Agreement with respect to matters for which indemnification or coverage has been claimed and recovered under the Separation Agreement. No right of indemnification shall exist under the Separation Agreement with respect to matters for which indemnification or coverage has been claimed and recovered under this Agreement. No claim for indemnification made under this Agreement shall be denied solely because such claim was initially brought under the Separation Agreement and denied because the subject matter of such claim was reasonably believed to be covered under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

A waiver by a Party of any default by another Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Any such action pursuant to Section 8.10 shall not relieve any Party of its obligation to fully comply with this Section 8.10 promptly following commencement of any such action.

Section 8.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such Action in a Chosen Court as provided above may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law, and each party further agrees to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for the enforcement or execution of any such judgment.

32
