In the event that a STRYKER audit or a BOM report determines that SUPPLIER’s BOM is more than the then prevailing price charged to STRYKER by SUPPLIER for a Product, then the price for such Product shall be immediately increased to such higher price unless a further adjustment is made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

11.1.

Repairs of Products. If a Product provided by SUPPLIER does not conform to the limited Product warranty set forth in Section 10.1 by SUPPLIER under this Agreement (a “Defective Product”), STRYKER may return the Defective Product to SUPPLIER for repair or replacement during the Scope Warranty Period or Repair Warranty Period, in which event SUPPLIER shall deliver a repaired or replacement Product to STRYKER (or to such other address designated by STRYKER) within thirty (30) days of SUPPLIER’s receipt of the Defective Product without charge.

During the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years after the last commercial sale of a Product, SUPPLIER shall make repair services on such Products available to STRYKER. Upon SUPPLIER’s delivery of repaired or replacement Products, STRYKER may inspect the Products to determine whether SUPPLIER has cured the defect or other problem. In the event that STRYKER reasonably determines that SUPPLIER has failed to correct the defect or other problem, STRYKER may, in its sole discretion (i) return the defective Product to SUPPLIER and receive a refund of the applicable repair charge already paid for such Product, if any; or (ii) return the defective Product to SUPPLIER and require SUPPLIER to repair or replace the Defective Product. SUPPLIER shall advise STRYKER from time to time in writing of its pricing schedule for repairs conducted outside of the Scope Warranty Period or Repair Warranty Period. This Section 11.1 will apply equally to the repair of Non-Conforming Products, as that term is defined in Section 6.1 of this Agreement. For any repairs of Products which are (i) not at SUPPLIER’s expense as required by this Section 11.1 and (ii) submitted by STRYKER to SUPPLIER prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, SUPPLIER shall provide Stryker with a discount on such repairs equal to 50% of SUPPLIER’s margin on such repairs.

STRYKER shall be responsible for maintaining the complete list of purchasers of Products, and shall provide the same to SUPPLIER in the event of a recall. STRYKER shall be responsible for all recalls and other corrective actions associated with Products except that SUPPLIER shall reimburse STRYKER for the costs incurred in connection therewith to the extent they relate to a reasonably demonstrated manufacturing, sterilization or packaging defect in a Product manufactured by SUPPLIER that is not in conformance with the Specifications.

12.2.

Adverse Event Reporting. SUPPLIER shall notify STRYKER in writing, immediately, but in no less than three (3) days following its receipt or development, of any information that it receives or develops with respect to any complaint or adverse event arising from any Product.

Commercial General Liability insurance in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a $2,000,000 aggregate covering premises and operations, independent contractors, bodily injury (including death), personal injury, property damage including, and without limitation, all contractual liability for such injury or damage assumed by SUPPLIER under this Agreement.

SUPPLIER also agrees to waive and will require its insurers to waive all rights of subrogation against STRYKER, its directors, officers and employees as it relates to this Agreement on all of the foregoing coverages. These insurance provisions set forth the minimum amounts and scopes of coverage to be maintained by SUPPLIER and are not to be construed in any way as a limitation on SUPPLIER’s liability under this Agreement.

Nothing herein limits the right of STRYKER to maintain or increase the self-insured retention amounts. These insurance provisions are not to be construed in any way as a limitation on STRYKER’s liability under this Agreement.

16.

Unforeseen Occurrences. Neither Party to this Agreement shall be liable for any delay or failure of performance that is the result of any happening or event that could not reasonably have been avoided or that is otherwise beyond its control (a “Force Majeure Event”). Such happenings or events shall include, but not be limited to, fire, flood, explosion, action of the elements, governmental orders, regulations, restrictions, priorities or rationing, acts of God, or acts of terrorism. The Party who has been affected by a Force Majeure Event shall promptly give written notice to the other Party and shall do everything reasonably possible to resume performance and minimize the effect of the Force Majeure Event. Upon receipt of such notice, all obligations under the Agreement shall be immediately suspended. If the period of nonperformance exceeds thirty (30) days from the receipt of notice of the Force Majeure Event, the Party whose ability to perform has not been so affected may by giving written notice terminate the Agreement. Delays in delivery due to Force Majeure Events shall automatically extend the delivery date for a period equal to the duration of such Force Majeure Events. Any acceptance or warranty period affected by a Force Majeure Event shall likewise be extended for a period equal to the duration of such Force Majeure Event. As applied to this Section 16 and to determine whether an event is wholly beyond control of a Party, strikes, slowdowns or other labor related delays are not Force Majeure Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Force Majeure Event shall not include any governmental action of an enforcement nature that arises from or relates to a Party’s failure to comply with any federal, national, state, provincial, or local law, statute, regulation or ordinance applicable to such Party’s performance hereunder or such Party’s manufacture, storage or handling of materials associated with such performance.

17.	Work on Stryker’s Premises, Security and Health Services.

17.1.

To the extent that SUPPLIER’s performance of this Agreement requires work on STRYKER’s premises, SUPPLIER shall do so in a manner that does not interfere with the operation of STRYKER’s business. SUPPLIER shall confine all equipment, apparatus, materials and operations to limits indicated by the proper representative of STRYKER, and SUPPLIER shall not unnecessarily encumber the premises with materials. SUPPLIER shall strictly comply with all of STRYKER’s polices, work and safety rules as communicated by STRYKER. SUPPLIER shall also ensure that any subcontractors retained by SUPPLIER to perform under this Agreement on STRYKER’s premises shall strictly comply with all of STRYKER’s polices, work and safety rules.

17.2.

To the extent that SUPPLIER’s performance of this Agreement requires work on STRYKER’s premises by SUPPLIER’s personnel or a subcontractor’s personnel, such personnel shall be approved by STRYKER prior to their access to the premises. In the event that any of SUPPLIER’s or a subcontractor’s personnel approved by STRYKER hereunder becomes unwilling or unable to perform, fails to perform, or fails to cooperate with STRYKER in performing, SUPPLIER shall find a replacement acceptable to both Parties at no additional cost to STRYKER.

17.3.

SUPPLIER shall report to STRYKER as soon as practicable all accidents resulting in personal injury or property damage arising out of or during its or its subcontractors performance on STRYKER’s premises, and shall furnish STRYKER with a copy of all reports made by SUPPLIER of such accidents.

17.4.

STRYKER shall have the right to immediately bar from STRYKER’s premises any SUPPLIER or subcontractor personnel who fail to strictly comply with the provisions of this Section 17. SUPPLIER’s or a subcontractor’s failure to strictly comply with the provisions of this Section 17 shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

17.5.

Supplier’s and Subcontractors’ Personnel. SUPPLIER agrees and warrants that any such employees and subcontractors who shall perform hereunder shall abide by the provisions of this Agreement regarding confidentiality, inventions and work on STRYKER's premises. At STRYKER's request SUPPLIER shall cause such persons to execute and deliver to STRYKER a separate agreement to be bound by the provisions of Section 13 (Ownership of Rights) and Section 14 (Confidentiality) or any other Section of this Agreement that could be applicable to employees and subcontractors.

The documents referred to herein and attached hereto shall be read together with this Agreement to determine the Parties’ intent. In the event of a conflict between (1) this Agreement (including) the Exhibits or other attachments to this Agreement) and (2) a Purchase Order, then this Agreement shall govern.

Assignments; Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each Party signatory hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment shall relieve the original Party of its liability for the performance of any obligations that such Party (or its permitted assignee) may under this Agreement.

18.5.

Change In Control. A change in control of either Party, whether direct or indirect, due to merger, acquisition, sale of substantially all assets, or other transaction of similar effect, shall not be considered an assignment under this Agreement; provided, however, that STRYKER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon a change of control by SUPPLIER, with 90 days’ notice to SUPPLIER.
