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. In addition to the foregoing, one (1) month before the commencement of each calendar quarter during the Term of this Agreement, PURCHASER shall provide SELLER with a forecast (a “Rolling Forecast”) of PURCHASER’s requirements for the Martek Product for each of the succeeding four (4) quarters, specifying quantities and requested delivery dates. 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. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
Trunk Group Connections and Ordering 5.2.1 For both One-Way and Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, if Onvoy wishes to use a technically feasible interface other than a DS1 or a DS3 facility at the POI, the Parties shall negotiate reasonable terms and conditions (including, without limitation, rates and implementation timeframes) for such arrangement; and, if the Parties cannot agree to such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, rates and implementation timeframes), either Party may utilize the Agreement’s dispute resolution procedures. 5.2.2 When One-Way or Two-Way Interconnection Trunks are provisioned using a DS3 interface facility, if Onvoy orders the multiplexed DS3 facilities to a Frontier Central Office that is not designated in the NECA 4 Tariff as the appropriate Intermediate Hub location (i.e., the Intermediate Hub location in the appropriate Tandem subtending area based on the LERG), and the provision of such facilities to the subject Central Office is technically feasible, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith reasonable terms and conditions (including, without limitation, rates and implementation timeframes) for such arrangement; and, if the Parties cannot agree to such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, rates and implementation timeframes), either Party may utilize the Agreement’s dispute resolution procedures. 5.2.3 Each Party will identify its Carrier Identification Code, a three or four digit numeric code obtained from Telcordia, to the other Party when ordering a trunk group. 5.2.4 For multi-frequency (MF) signaling each Party will out pulse ten (10) digits to the other Party, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise. 5.2.5 Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor trunk groups under its control and to augment those groups using generally accepted trunk- engineering standards so as to not exceed blocking objectives. Each Party agrees to use modular trunk-engineering techniques for trunks subject to this Attachment.

The Stop Work Order results in an increase in the time required for, or in Contractor’s cost properly allocable to the performance of any part of this Agreement; and ii. Contractor requests an equitable adjustment within thirty (30) days after the end of the period of stoppage; however, if the JBE decides the facts justify the action, the JBE may receive and act upon a proposal submitted at any time before final payment under this Agreement. C. The JBE shall not be liable to Contractor for loss of profits because of a Stop Work Order issued under this provision.

Stop Work Order (a) NYSERDA may at any time, by written Order to the Contractor, require the Contractor to stop all or any part of the Work called for by this Agreement for a period of up to ninety (90) days after the Stop Work Order is delivered to the Contractor, and for any further period to which the parties may agree. Any such order shall be specifically identified as a Stop Work Order issued pursuant to this Section. Upon receipt of such an Order, the Contractor shall forthwith comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the Work covered by the Order during the period of work stoppage consistent with public health and safety. Within a period of ninety (90) days after a Stop Work Order is delivered to the Contractor, or within any extension of that period to which the parties shall have agreed, NYSERDA shall either: (i) by written notice to the Contractor, cancel the Stop Work Order, which shall be effective as provided in such cancellation notice, or if not specified therein, upon receipt by the Contractor, or (ii) terminate the Work covered by such order as provided in the Termination Section of this Agreement. (b) If a Stop Work Order issued under this Section is cancelled or the period of the Order or any extension thereof expires, the Contractor shall resume Work. An equitable adjustment shall be made in the delivery schedule, the estimated cost, the fee, if any, or a combination thereof, and in any other provisions of the Agreement that may be affected, and the Agreement shall be modified in writing accordingly, if: (i) the Stop Work Order results in an increase in the time required for, or in the Contractor’s cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this Agreement, and (ii) the Contractor asserts a claim for such adjustments within 30 days after the end of the period of Work stoppage; provided that, if NYSERDA decides the facts justify such action, NYSERDA may receive and act upon any such claim asserted at any time prior to final payment under this Agreement. (c) If a Stop Work Order is not cancelled and the Work covered by such Order is terminated, the reasonable costs resulting from the Stop Work Order shall be allowed by equitable adjustment or otherwise. (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12.01, the maximum amount payable by NYSERDA to the Contractor pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall not be increased or deemed to be increased except by specific written amendment hereto.
Placement of Orders The Adviser shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of securities for a Fund’s account with brokers or dealers selected by the Adviser. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Adviser is directed at all times to seek for each Fund the most favorable execution and net price available under the circumstances. It is also understood that it is desirable for the Funds that the Adviser have access to brokerage and research services provided by brokers who may execute brokerage transactions at a higher cost to the Funds than may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers, consistent with section 28(e) of the 1934 Act and any Commission staff interpretations thereof. Therefore, the Adviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities for a Fund with such brokers, subject to review by the Board from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is understood that the services provided by such brokers may be useful to the Adviser in connection with its or its affiliates’ services to other clients.
