Reliant will be obligated to purchase 75% of the quantities of API forecasted for the first two (2) succeeding calendar quarters of each Quarterly Forecast.

To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any purchase order, purchase order release, confirmation, acceptance or any similar document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. (f) Reliant shall notify ASL of any short-shipment claims within thirty (30) days of receipt of a shipment of Active Ingredient.

• Forecasts and Orders 2.2.1 On the Effective Date of this Agreement, PURCHASER shall give SELLER written notice of the quantity of Martek Product which PURCHASER estimates in good faith that it will order or direct the Designee(s) to order from SELLER during the remainder of the current calendar year (the “Initial Annual Forecast”). Not later than November 30 of each calendar year during the Term of this Agreement, PURCHASER shall give SELLER written notice of the quantity of Martek Product which PURCHASER estimates in good faith that it will order or direct the Designee(s) to order from SELLER during the next subsequent calendar year (each, an “Annual Forecast”). The Annual Forecast shall be used to establish the per unit and per kilogram pricing for the Martek Products purchased during the relevant calendar year in accordance with Section 2.3.1 and Exhibit A attached hereto; provided that, for the remainder of calendar year 2006, the per kilogram pricing to be used, subject to the year-end adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3.1, shall be * per kilogram, notwithstanding the Initial Annual Forecast.

These forecasts will be PURCHASER’s good-faith, best estimate of requirements and should not be considered a firm commitment. 2.2.2 PURCHASER expressly acknowledges that available supplies of the Martek Product have been in the past, and, may from time to time in the future, be insufficient to meet current demand. Nevertheless, SELLER shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have available for shipment to PURCHASER or to a Designee for PURCHASER’s account such quantities of the Martek Product as PURCHASER forecasts in good faith pursuant to Section 2.2.1 above and any additional quantities which PURCHASER may reasonably request. In case for any reason SELLER cannot or does not supply such quantities of the Martek Products as are forecasted in good faith by PURCHASER pursuant to Section 2.2.1 to PURCHASER, PURCHASER shall be allowed to use an alternative supplier for quantities of Omega-3 and Omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids equal to those quantities of Martek Products that were ordered by PURCHASER pursuant to a Purchase Order and not delivered by SELLER. 2.2.3 PURCHASER shall issue and/or shall direct the Designee(s) to issue formal purchase orders (“Purchase Orders”) at least sixty (60) but no more than ninety (90) days in advance of the date on which PURCHASER or the Designee requests that SELLER ship the Martek Product. SELLER shall accept or reject any such Purchase Order within five (5) business days of receipt, provided that SELLER shall not reject any Purchase Order for any quantities within the most recent forecast. 2.2.4 Purchase Orders which have been accepted by SELLER shall be considered as firm and binding orders (subject to the provisions of Section 2.2.2 above) and shall only be canceled or amended by mutual written agreement of the parties. * CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.

• Purchase Orders Unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Commissioner, no Product is to be delivered or furnished by Contractor until transmittal of an official Purchase Order from the Authorized User. Unless terminated or cancelled pursuant to the authority vested in the Commissioner, Purchase Orders shall be effective and binding upon the Contractor when placed in the mail or electronically transmitted prior to the termination of the contract period, addressed to the Contractor at the address for receipt of orders set forth in the Contract or in the Contract Award Notification. All Purchase Orders issued pursuant to Contracts let by the Commissioner must bear the appropriate Contract number and, if necessary, required State approvals. As deemed necessary, the Authorized User may confirm pricing and other Product information with the Contractor prior to placement of the Purchase Order. The State reserves the right to require any other information from the Contractor which the State deems necessary in order to complete any Purchase Order placed under the Contract. Unless otherwise specified, all Purchase Orders against Centralized Contracts will be placed by Authorized Users directly with the Contractor and any discrepancy between the terms stated on the vendor’s order form, confirmation or acknowledgment, and the Contract terms shall be resolved in favor of the terms most favorable to the Authorized User. Should an Authorized User add written terms and conditions to the Purchase Order that conflict with the terms and conditions of the Contract, the Contractor has the option of rejecting the Purchase Order within five business days of its receipt but shall first attempt to negotiate the additional written terms and conditions in good faith with the Authorized User, or fulfill the Purchase Order. Notwithstanding the above, the Authorized User reserves the right to dispute any discrepancies arising from the presentation of additional terms and conditions with the Contractor. If, with respect to an Agency Specific Contract let by the OGS Commissioner, a Purchase Order is not received by the Contractor within two weeks after the issuance of a Contract Award Notification, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to request in writing that the appropriate Authorized User forward a Purchase Order. If, thereafter, a Purchase Order is not received within a reasonable period of time, the Contractor shall promptly notify in writing the appropriate purchasing officer in OGS. Failure to timely notify such officer may, in the discretion of the OGS Commissioner and without cost to the State, result in the cancellation of such requirement by the OGS Commissioner with a corresponding reduction in the Contract quantity and price.
