---

 

noncomplying Bulk Product).  If it is determined subsequently that such Bulk Product was in fact conforming (whether pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or if Aratana acknowledges such in writing), then Aratana shall be responsible for the purchase price for the allegedly nonconforming Bulk Product, as well as, upon receipt and acceptance by Aratana in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, the replacement Bulk Product, which shall be purchased at the then-effective purchase price for such Bulk Product.  Replacement shipments shall also be subject to the procedures contained in this Section 4.3(b).  Pacira shall be under no obligation to accept a return of Bulk Product except as provided for in this Section 4.3.
