2. QUANTITY, ORDERS AND DELIVERY

QUANTITIES

2.1 The quantities of Product that Buyer shall Order from Seller and that Seller shall sell and Deliver to Buyer in each calendar year during the Term (hereinafter the “Annual Base Quantities”) shall be:


▪	2020: [***] Mlbs spread over the year as follows:


•	[*]: [*] Mlbs


•	[*]: [*] Mlbs


▪	2021: [*] Mlbs, [*]; and


▪	2022: [*] Mlbs, [*].

Without prejudice to the Annual Base Quantities as mutually agreed by the Parties here above and as part of Buyer’s forecasts pursuant to section 2.4 below, the minimum quantities that Buyer shall order and that Seller shall deliver in any given month shall be [***] Mlbs ([***] pounds). For the purpose of clarity, all quantities of Product shipped by Seller to Buyer after January 1^st 2020 (totalling [***] Mlbs as of the Effective Date of the Agreement) shall be deemed to be credited to the 2020 Annual Base Quantities and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

The price for the Annual Base Quantities shall be agreed mutually between the Parties in accordance with sections 3.1 and 3.2 below.

If Buyer does not purchase the Annual Base Quantities, Buyer shall pay to Seller promptly, as liquidated damages, the amounts that Buyer would have paid to Seller for the Annual Base Quantities which have not been purchased by Buyer, without any possibility for Buyer to roll over to the following calendar year the said Annual Base Quantities not purchased. The Parties agree that such liquidated damages payment represents the true and reasonable estimate of the loss suffered by Seller and such liquidated amount shall be due without set-off within thirty (30) calendar days of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s valid invoice therefor. The Parties agree that quantifying losses arising from Buyer’s failure to order all Annual Base Quantities is inherently difficult because Seller will reserve a significant part of its production of the Product for Buyer and that Seller will incur significant damages as a consequence of Buyer’s failure to purchase the Annual Base Quantities, including but not limited to additional selling costs and disruptions in Seller’s operations. At the Effective Date, the liquidated damages as defined above are not a penalty but considered as reasonable, based on the Parties’ experience in the industry and the nature of the losses and costs incurred by Buyer’s failure under this section 2.1.

If Seller refuses to supply, or is otherwise unable to supply, the Annual Base Quantities (or of an appropriate substitute equivalent in all material respects as determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion) in a timely manner in accordance with the Delivery Dates, Seller shall pay to Buyer promptly, as liquidated damages, the difference between the amounts that Buyer would have paid to Seller for the Annual Base Quantities had Seller Delivered the Annual Base Quantities and the amounts that Buyer actually paid to a Third Party for replacement products to cover Seller’s failure to Deliver [***], provided however, that the amounts paid by Buyer for replacement products shall be commercially reasonable as determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion in light of market conditions as of the date of purchase. In addition, the quantities of replacement products (in Mlbs) shall be credited against the Annual Base Quantities as if Buyer had purchased, and Seller had supplied, such products as Product. The Parties agree that such liquidated damages payment represents the true and reasonable estimate of the loss suffered by Buyer and such liquidated amount shall be due without set-off within thirty (30)

calendar days of Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s valid invoice therefor. The Parties agree that quantifying losses arising from Seller’s failure to supply the Annual Base Quantities is inherently difficult because Buyer will allocate a significant part of its requirements for Product to Seller and that Buyer will incur significant damages as a consequence of Seller’s failure to supply the Annual Base Quantities, including but not limited to additional buying costs and disruptions in Buyer’s operations. At the Effective Date, the liquidated damages as defined above are not a penalty but considered as reasonable, based on the Parties’ experience in the industry and the nature of the losses and costs incurred by Seller’s failure under this section 2.1.

2.2 After the exhaustion of the Annual Base Quantities, Buyer has the option to buy additional quantities year by year over the Term as follows (hereinafter the “Additional Quantities”):


▪	2021: [***] Mlbs; and


▪	2022: [***] Mlbs.

Without prejudice to sections 2.4 below, Buyer shall confirm to Seller by no later than [***] of each year its intention to buy some or all of the Additional Quantities for the following year. Such Additional Quantities must be integrated in Buyer’s forecasts in accordance with section 2.4 below. To the extent confirmed, Seller shall sell and Deliver to Buyer the Additional Quantities in accordance with this Agreement.

At the end of the Term, if Buyer did not purchase the total amount of the Additional Quantities according to sections 2.4 to 2.7 below, Seller shall be entitled to retain the amount of the Prepayment Amount corresponding to the value of the Additional Quantities not purchased by Buyer, up to a maximum value corresponding to the Prepayment Amount.

If Seller refuses to supply, or is otherwise unable to supply, the Additional Quantities (or of an appropriate substitute equivalent in all material respects as determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion) in a timely manner in accordance with the Delivery Dates, Seller shall pay to Buyer promptly, as liquidated damages, the difference between the amounts that Buyer would have paid to Seller for the Additional Quantities had Seller Delivered the Additional Quantities and the amounts that Buyer actually paid to a Third Party for replacement products to cover Seller’s failure to Deliver [***], plus the amount of the Prepayment Amount corresponding to the value of the Additional Quantities not delivered by Seller, up to a maximum value corresponding to the Prepayment Amount, provided however, that the amounts paid by Buyer for replacement products shall be commercially reasonable as determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion in light of market conditions as of the date of purchase. In addition, the quantities of replacement products (in Mlbs) shall be credited against the Additional Quantities as if Buyer had purchased, and Seller had supplied, such products as Product. The Parties agree that such liquidated damages payment represents the true and reasonable estimate of the loss suffered by Buyer and such liquidated amount shall be due without set-off within thirty (30) calendar days of Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s valid invoice therefor. The Parties agree that quantifying losses arising from Seller’s failure to supply the Additional Quantities is inherently difficult because Buyer will allocate a significant part of its requirements for Product to Seller and that Buyer will incur significant damages as a consequence of Seller’s failure to supply the Additional Quantities, including but not limited to additional buying costs and disruptions in Buyer’s operations. At the Effective Date, the liquidated damages as defined above are not a penalty but considered as reasonable, based on the Parties’ experience in the industry and the nature of the losses and costs incurred by Seller’s failure under this section 2.2.

2.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that their sole and exclusive remedies for failure to purchase or failure to sell Annual Base Quantities, or

failure to purchase or failure to sell Additional Quantities of Product are set forth in sections 2.1 and 2.2 of this Agreement, and the Parties shall have no cause of action in contract, tort or otherwise for additional relief in connection with any failure to purchase or supply product, other than in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by the breaching Party.

Each Party will ensure that its respective employees, agents and contractors to whom

Confidential Information of the other Party is disclosed are made aware of its confidentiality obligations and agree to be bound by them or by an obligation of confidentiality no less restrictive.

6.4 In the event that a Party is requested or required by Applicable Laws to disclose any of the Confidential Information, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, such Party will, and will direct its representatives to (i) provide the disclosing Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that the disclosing Party may, at its sole expense, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) take reasonable steps to preserve the privileged nature and confidentiality of the Confidential Information, including requesting that the Confidential Information not be disclosed to non-parties or the public, and (iii) reasonably cooperate with the disclosing Party, at its sole expense, to obtain such protective order. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, receiving Party or its representatives may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which the receiving Party or its representatives is advised by counsel is required by Applicable Laws and agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no prior notice or other action shall be required in respect of any disclosure made to any banking, financial, accounting, securities or similar supervisory authority exercising its routine supervisory or audit functions, provided that such disclosure is made in the ordinary course and is not specific to the disclosing Party or this Agreement.

6.5 Each Party agrees that legal remedies may be inadequate to protect its interests in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of section 6 of this Agreement, and that the non-breaching Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief (without requirement of any bond or security), damages and specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
