5.6 | The Supplier shall (and shall procure that its nominated Affiliates will) use all reasonable endeavours to satisfy, at no additional cost to Prestige (or its Affiliates) (other than the cost of any additional Products), any changes in quantity, Delivery Point, phasing of Deliveries or dates requested by Prestige (or its Affiliates) in respect of Firm Orders. |
5.7 | It is understood that the volumes of Products set out in the Forecast Schedule which are not specified as Firm Orders shall constitute an estimate of the future requirements of Prestige and its Affiliates for Products and do not comprise any binding commitment by Prestige or its Affiliates to purchase such Product or any minimum purchase requirement. |

[***] Confidential Treatment Requested
6.2 | Without prejudice to Clause 19.3 and the Change Control Procedure, the Supplier shall not (and shall procure that its Affiliates do not) : |
(A) | change the Manufacturing Site for any Product; |
(B) | change the site of Manufacture of any of the Materials supplied by Approved Suppliers; |
(C) | change the Specifications; |
(D) | change the Materials or the process used in the Manufacture of the Products; or |
(E) | make any other change which may reasonably be expected to affect or infringe the Product Licence or have any other regulatory impact in relation to the Products, affect the quality or physical characteristics of the Product or adversely affect the security of supply of a Product, |
without either (a) providing reasonable prior written notice to Prestige to the extent the relevant change constitutes moving the Manufacture of any Products to a different Manufacturing Site owned or operated by the Supplier (or its Affiliates) or (b) in relation to any other changes, first obtaining written consent from Prestige (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Should Prestige be so notified or otherwise consent to any such change the Parties shall agree a detailed plan (with appropriate change control processes) setting out the responsibilities of and activities to be undertaken by each of the Parties, the milestones and timelines to ensure that the implementation of such change shall not adversely impact Prestige.

Where such change is required by Applicable Laws specifically with respect to a Product (such as a change to the labelling of a Product or a change to its Specifications), the cost of the change shall be borne by Prestige. The Parties shall endeavour to mitigate all such costs.
6.3 | The Supplier shall use all reasonable endeavours to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the KPIs.

The Parties shall meet to discuss such corrective action plan and, subject to Prestige’s prior approval, the Supplier shall (and shall procure that its Affiliates will) implement such plan at no additional cost for Prestige. Failure to achieve KPIs on more than two occasions will result in escalation to senior management of both Parties and Prestige (and its Affiliates) will cease to be bound by any of its obligations under Clause 2.2 to purchase its requirements of any Product, until such time as any corrective action plan agreed between the Parties has been implemented (such corrective action plan to take into account any reasonable notice periods required by Prestige in respect of any alternative suppliers engaged during the time period when its obligations under Clause 2.2 have been suspended pursuant to this Clause 6.3). |
6.4 | The Supplier shall (and shall procure that its Affiliates will) at its own expense: |

(iii) | if Clause 19.3(B)(ii) does not apply, the Supplier shall (or shall procure that its Affiliates will) implement such changes within the timeframe required by the Regulator and in accordance with the Change Control Procedure; and |
