Altus hereby approves each such change order and all amounts payable to Xxxxxx as specified in each such change order shall be due and payable within [***] days after receipt by Altus of an invoice from Xxxxxx relating thereto; and

(b) the Parties further acknowledge and agree that any additional change to the Project Plan, or to Altus’ requirements with respect to Production of Drug Product pursuant to Articles 3, 4 and 5 of the Agreement (including, without limitation, [***] in addition to that specified by Xxxxxx as of the Amendment Date), that Altus may propose

will require a written change order signed by at least one of each Party’s representatives on the Steering Committee (for change orders up to [***]) and a written change order executed by both Parties (for change orders equal to or in excess of [***]). If Altus proposes any such change, Xxxxxx shall submit a written price proposal to Altus, which will note any delays that Xxxxxx anticipates will result from such change, and Xxxxxx shall not be required or authorized to implement such change unless and until the Parties agree in writing on the price to be paid by Altus for such work.

5. [***] to Compensation Structure.

If at any time it is determined [***] (unless such [***]), [***] shall pay to Xxxxxx [***], but not more than [***], for the period such [***] (the [***]). In such event, [***]. The payment of such [***] shall not exceed the amount accrued from the date it is determined that such [***] to the end of such [***] period.

(c) [***] by [***]; and

(d) [***] by [***];
