7.5           (a)           Immunosyn shall test or cause to be tested SF-1019 supplied under this Section 7 in accordance with Immunosyn’s customary procedures within 30 days of its receipt at Immunosyn’s facility or that of its designee.  Immunosyn or its designee shall have the right to reject any shipment of SF-1019 made to it under this Agreement that does not meet the agreed-upon specifications and applicable Manufacturing Standards in any material respects when received by it at such destination when tested in accordance with the Testing Methods.  All claims by Immunosyn of non-conforming SF-1019 shall be deemed waived unless made by Immunosyn in writing and received and materially accepted by Argyll Biotech within such 30-day period.
 
(b)           All claims of non-conforming SF-1019 shall be accompanied by a report of analysis (including a sample of SF-1019 from the batch analyzed) of the allegedly non-conforming SF-1019 that shall have been made by Immunosyn or its designee, using the Testing Methods.  Argyll Biotech shall undertake its own analysis of such sample after receiving such claim and report from Immunosyn.  If, after its own analysis, Argyll Biotech does not confirm such non-conformity, Immunosyn may submit the disputed SF-1019 to an independent testing laboratory, to be agreed upon by Argyll Biotech, for testing in accordance with the Testing Methods.  The findings of such laboratory shall be binding on the Parties, absent manifest error.  Expenses of such independent testing shall be borne by either Immunosyn or Argyll Biotech depending on which such Party’s initial findings are contradicted by the independent laboratory.  In the event that any SF-1019 shipment or batch thereof is ultimately agreed or found not to meet the agreed upon specifications and/or applicable Manufacturing Standards for which Argyll Biotech is responsible under this Agreement, Argyll Biotech agrees to replace such shipment or batch with conforming SF-1019.  Immunosyn shall promptly return any such rejected shipment to Argyll Biotech at Argyll Biotech’s expense.  In the event that any SF-1019 shipment or batch thereof is ultimately found to meet the agreed upon specifications and applicable Manufacturing Standards, Immunosyn shall accept and pay for such shipment or batch.

7.6           The Parties acknowledge and agree that Argyll Biotech currently obtains SF-1019 through contractual arrangements with a third party manufacturer.  Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Argyll Biotech maintains that, to the best knowledge of Argyll Biotech, it is not in breach under any such contracts and that data and information provided to Immunosyn by Argyll Biotech relating to such contracts is accurate and complete in all material respects and contains no material errors or omissions.
 
7.7           (a)           Argyll Biotech shall notify Immunosyn (i) as promptly as possible, but in no event more than ten days after Argyll Biotech’s receipt of a firm order for SF-1019 from Immunosyn, or (ii) immediately upon becoming aware that Argyll Biotech is unable to supply the quantity of SF-1019 to Immunosyn that Argyll Biotech is required to supply hereunder, if Argyll Biotech is unable to supply such quantities of SF-1019.  In such event, Argyll Biotech shall implement commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such shortage, including through the use of third party manufacturers for all or a portion of such quantities of SF-1019, as determined are necessary by Argyll Biotech and Immunosyn.
 
(b)           In the event that Argyll Biotech is unable to supply Immunosyn’s requirements of SF-1019 due to force majeure or otherwise, Argyll Biotech shall allocate the SF-1019 that Argyll Biotech has in inventory and that Argyll Biotech is able to produce among the quantities of all such requirements, so that Immunosyn receives at least its proportionate share of such available supplies, as determined from reasonable forecasts (taking into consideration past sales and sales performance against forecast) and orders for SF-1019.
 
7.8           All purchases by Immunosyn shall be made pursuant to written purchase orders which shall be accepted by Argyll provided they comply with the terms of this Agreement.  The printed terms on any purchase order or order acknowledgement which would otherwise modify, supplement or affect the terms of this Agreement shall be of no force or effect.  Argyll shall not be required to deliver quantities which have not been scheduled by Immunosyn in written forecasts submitted to Argyll at least three months prior to the expected date of delivery.  All shipments shall be delivered by Argyll at its place of manufacturing, and Immunosyn shall be responsible for arranging and payment of all costs of shipment and delivery to destination, including export and import.

12.2           Argyll Biotech may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement in the event that Immunosyn shall have materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder, and such default shall have continued for 180 days after written notice thereof was provided to Immunosyn by Argyll Biotech (or, if such default cannot be cured within such 180-day period, if Immunosyn does not commence and diligently continue actions to cure such default during such 180-day period).  Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such 180-day period unless Immunosyn has cured any such breach to Argyll Biotech’s complete satisfaction or default prior to the expiration of such 180-day period (or, if such default cannot be cured within such 180-day period, if Immunosyn has commenced and diligently continued actions to cure such default).  The right of Argyll Biotech to terminate this Agreement, as provided in this Section 12.2 shall not be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous default.
 
12.3           Immunosyn shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event that it determines, in its reasonable discretion and after thorough review and analysis, that there exists a significant concern regarding a regulatory or patient safety issue that would seriously impact the long-term viability of SF-1019.  The Agreement shall immediately terminate upon a non-rebutted, conclusive finding by Immunosyn that there exists a significant concern regarding a regulatory or patient safety issue that would seriously impact such long term viability.  In the event of such termination, any remaining obligation of Immunosyn to pay the Royalty shall immediately terminate and Argyll Biotech shall have no claim therefore; provided, however, that Argyll Biotech shall have no liability in such event to return or repay any portion of the License Fee previously paid to it by Immunosyn unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.
