If the Supplier comes to have knowledge of any potential violation of the FCPA, the UKBA, the JUCPA or any other anti-corruption laws and regulations applicable in the specific case, it shall immediately notify Nachi thereof in writing. Nachi may terminate this agreement, without penalty, if it has serious grounds for suspecting that the Supplier is in violation of the FCPA, the UKBA, the JUCPA or other anti-corruption laws and regulations applicable in the specific case.
