28.2. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Each party agrees to abide by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (15 U.S.C. 77dd-1 et seq.)

  (b)

Supplier is not, and has not been, a party to any current, pending, threatened or resolved enforcement action of any government agency, or any consent decree or settlement with any governmental agency or private person or entity, regarding any Security Breach or otherwise regarding privacy or information security, or if it has been a party to any such enforcement actions, consent decrees or settlements, it has disclosed in writing all such enforcement actions, consent decrees or settlements to OEM and taken appropriate measures to comply with any requirements imposed in connection therewith.

Supplier will take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate, and will cooperate with OEM’s reasonable requests regarding, any unauthorized processing of OEM Personal Data by Supplier. A breach of any provision of this DPA may result in irreparable harm to OEM, for which monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy, and therefore, OEM may seek both monetary damages and equitable relief. [***]. In the event Supplier breaches any of its obligations under this DPA, OEM will have the right to terminate the Agreement, or suspend Supplier’s continued processing of any OEM Personal Data, without penalty immediately upon notice to Supplier.
