For amounts of the Drug set forth in the Forecast, Jazz Pharmaceuticals and Supplier realize that the Quota may restrict manufacturing and hence delivery of shipments throughout the calendar year for which such Quota applies. If the Quota restricts, and is anticipated to restrict, Supplier’s ability to meet the manufacturing requirements set forth in the Forecast, Supplier will promptly notify Jazz Pharmaceuticals and the parties will meet and agree on a plan to resolve the anticipated shortfall in requested Drug within 30 days.

(c) Supplier acknowledges that in connection with seeking additional manufacturing quota of the Drug from the DEA pursuant to Section 6.1(b) above, Jazz Pharmaceuticals may wish to reserve capacity in addition to the capacity required to manufacture the Forecast. Accordingly, Jazz Pharmaceuticals will notify Supplier at least [ * ] in advance if it wishes to reserve additional capacity to manufacture additional Drug that is subject to the approval of the DEA of additional manufacturing quota of the Drug. If the reserve capacity is not needed because of quota restrictions or other, Jazz Pharmaceuticals will [ * ]. If the reserve capacity is needed in a quota restricted situation, but the expected campaign is smaller than indicated, Jazz Pharmaceuticals will [ * ].
