12.3.2.2

In the event that any Supplier, under any Supplier service life policy obtained by the Seller in a Supplier Product Support Agreement, defaults in the performance of any obligation with respect thereto and subject to (i) the Buyer using its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under such Supplier Product Support Agreement and (ii) the Buyer submitting in reasonable time to the Seller reasonable evidence that such default has occurred, then Clause 12.2 will apply as if such Supplier Part was an Item, except that the Supplier's service life policy period as indicated in the Supplier Product Support Agreement will apply.

Seller's Responsibility

If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of a Warranted Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Warranty Beneficiary and pursuant to the terms and conditions of Clause 12.1, correct the design of such Warranted Part to the extent of the Seller's obligation as defined in Clause 12.1.

Supplier's Responsibility

If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of any Supplier Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Warranty Beneficiary, reasonably assist the Warranty Beneficiary in processing any warranty claim the Warranty Beneficiary may have against the Supplier. The Seller will also take whatever reasonable action is permitted by its contracts with such Supplier in an effort to obtain a correction of the Interface Problem acceptable to the Warranty Beneficiary. If the Supplier fails within a reasonable period of time to take appropriate action on the Seller's recommendation as to the necessary corrective action and the Warranty Beneficiary submits to the Seller, within a reasonable period of time, proof of such failure, then the Seller will take action in accordance with the provisions of Clause 12.3

If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is attributable partially to the design of a Warranted Part and partially to the design of any Supplier Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Warranty Beneficiary, seek a solution to the Interface Problem through cooperative efforts of the Seller and any Supplier involved.


The Seller will promptly advise the Warranty Beneficiary of such corrective action as may be proposed by the Seller and any such Supplier. Such proposal will be consistent with any then existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of any such Supplier towards the Warranty Beneficiary. Such corrective action, unless reasonably rejected by the Warranty Beneficiary, will constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Warranty Beneficiary may have against either the Seller or any such Supplier with respect to such Interface Problem.
