4.7 Meda shall return to BDSI, at BDSI’s cost, any Products rejected properly in accordance with this Article 4, in which case BDSI shall, consistent with Section 4.6 above, refund the amount actually paid by Meda to BDSI for such Products or promptly replace such Products at no additional charge, and pay to Meda the actual, reasonable, documented cost incurred by Meda in effecting the return of such Products.
