written processing plan for such quarter and the next three quarters
(binding as to such quarter and non-binding as to the next three
quarters), which will specify the amount of Finished Product to be
Processed and the approximate timing of Campaign(s) (as may be amended
from time to time in writing by the Parties, the "Processing Plan")
---------------
[**********].
(b) Purchase Orders. Each Processing Plan (as it may be so amended) will
---------------
constitute a purchase order for the Finished Product to be Processed
during the first calendar quarter as specified in that Processing
Plan. PathoGenesis may modify a purchase order subject to penalties
only by submitting a written change order to ALP at least 15 business
days in advance of the earliest scheduled Commencement Date for the
Processing covered by the change order.
(c) Commencement Date and Completion Date. Within ten business days of
-------------------------------------
receipt of each Processing Plan, ALP will acknowledge it in writing,
specifying the date for commencement (the "Commencement Date") and the
