Activity Allocation to Customer Clause Samples

Activity Allocation to Customer. (a) The Customer no later than 45 days prior to the start of each Cypress fiscal quarter will notify Cypress in writing if they wish to modify the Activity Allocation, the corresponding Minimum Quarterly Commitment, and the additional Activity charge for Activities in Excess of the Activity Allocation.
