SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
at Javelin’s direction PPS shall purchase such components and invoice Javelin for all costs, plus ten percent (10%) xxxx-up, incurred.

Unless PPS’s prior written approval states otherwise, Javelin shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate its annual purchases evenly over each month and in no case shall any one month order exceed the Monthly Maximum. | |
5.6. | Purchase Order Acceptance. Purchase orders placed with PPS by Javelin may be accepted by PPS for each month of production and will be reviewed by PPS within fourteen (14) days after PPS’s receipt.

a “Firm Purchase Order”). If PPS does not reject a purchase order within the fourteen (14) day period after receipt, the order shall be considered to be accepted. PPS will be deemed to have satisfied each Firm Purchase Order if the quantity of Product supplied is not more than 110% and not less than 90% of the quantity ordered by Javelin. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Firm Purchase Order, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. | ||
5.7. | Lead Time. Each Firm Purchase Order shall require a shipment date for the first shipment of Product there under not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of such Firm Purchase Order.
