With respect to all such nanoscale materials, Supplier shall provide a description of its legal status in the relevant jurisdiction, and any safety data or other notifications that are appropriate in the EU, US and the relevant jurisdiction.

(9) For any Products specifically listed in a written document referencing this Agreement and provided by GEHC as indicated in Section C(5) above, Supplier assumes responsibility for taking back those Products in the future upon GEHC’s request and treating or otherwise managing them in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

D. Supplier represents and warrants that it shall have and comply with a security and crisis management policy (which policy shall be revised and maintained proactively) with respect to security and crisis risks relevant to Supplier’s business, and that Supplier has developed and implemented security procedures pertaining said policy (“Security and Crisis Management Policy” or “SCMP”). At a minimum, the Security and Crisis Management Policy shall identify, and require Supplier’s personnel to take measures necessary to do the following:

(a) provide for the physical security of the people working on Supplier’s premises and others working for or on behalf of Supplier;

(b) provide for the physical security of Supplier’s facilities and physical assets related to the performance of work, including (including the protection of Supplier’s mission critical equipment and assets);

(c) protect from the loss of, misappropriation of, corruption of, and/or other damage to software related to the performance of work;

(d) protect from the loss of, misappropriation of, corruption of, and/or other damage to GEHC’s and Supplier’s drawings, technical data, and other proprietary information related to the performance of work;

(e) provide for the prompt recovery (including through preparation, adoption, and maintenance of a disaster recovery plan) of facilities, physical assets, software, drawings, technical data, other intellectual property, and the Supplier’s business operations in the event of a security breach, incident, crisis or other disruption of Supplier’s ability to use the necessary facilities, physical assets, software, drawings, technical data, or other intellectual property or to continue operations; and

(f) ensure the physical integrity and security of all shipments against the unauthorized introduction of harmful or dangerous materials (such measures include, but are not limited to, (1) physical security of manufacturing, packing and shipping areas, (2) restrictions on access of unauthorized personnel to such areas, and (3) personnel screening; and maintenance of procedures to protect the integrity of shipments).

GEHC reserves the right to inspect Supplier’s SCMP and to conduct on-site audits of Supplier’s facility and practices to determine whether Supplier’s SCMP and implementation thereof are reasonably sufficient to protect GEHC’s property and interests. If GEHC reasonably determines that Supplier’s SCMP and/or implementation thereof is/are insufficient to protect GEHC’s property and interests, GEHC may give Supplier notice of such determination. Upon receiving such notice, Supplier shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to make the policy changes and take the implementation actions reasonably requested by GEHC. Supplier’s failure to take such actions shall give GEHC the right to terminate this Agreement with cause immediately without further notice or compensation to Supplier.

Supplier agrees that it will review the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and the Authorized Economic Operator for Security (“EU AEO”) requirements appropriate for its business and that it will maintain a written plan for security procedures in accordance with them (“Security Plan”). The Security Plan shall address security criteria such as container security and inspection, physical access controls, personnel security, procedural security, security training and threat awareness and information technology security. Upon request of GEHC, Supplier shall: (i) certify in writing that it has read the C-TPAT and EU AEO security criteria, maintains a written Security Plan consistent with those criteria and has implemented appropriate procedures pursuant to it’s Security Plan; (ii) identify an individual contact responsible for Supplier’s facility, personnel and shipment security measures, and provide GEHC with such individual’s name, title, address, email address and telephone and fax numbers; and (iii) inform GEHC of its C-TPAT or EU AEO membership status. Where Supplier does not exercise control of manufacturing, storage or transportation of goods destined for delivery to GEHC or its customers in international trade, Supplier agrees to communicate the recommendations to its suppliers and transportation providers and to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such suppliers and transportation providers implement such recommendations. Further, upon advance notice by GEHC to Supplier and during Supplier’s normal business hours, Supplier shall make its facility available for inspection by GEHC’s representative for the purpose of reviewing Supplier’s compliance with the C-TPAT security recommendations and with Supplier’s Security Plan. Each party shall bear its own costs in relation to such inspection and review. Supplier shall bear all other costs associated with development and implementation of Supplier’s Security Plan and SCMP compliance.
