Common use of Guardrails Clause in Contracts

Guardrails. 12.1 In order to avoid significant cost incurrence or loss by the Service Provider or its Affiliates, and for purposes of maintaining adequate service levels and the Pre-Effective Date Service Form hereunder, and to retain the pricing terms set forth in Section 11 (which are in part based on space and resource requirements at current volumes), Service Recipient shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, at all times during the term, ensure the volumes of all Products maintained in each Facility during each month of the Term, on a Facility-by-Facility basis, are within plus-or-minus twenty percent (+/- 20%) of the average inventory stock of the Products in such Facility over the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Region Effective Date (with respect to each such Facility, the “Guardrail”). For the avoidance of doubt, the “Suzhou 3” manufacturing plant will be the sole exception, with no guardrails in place with regards to minimum or maximum volume, in accordance with the agreement in place with respect to the “Suzhou 3” manufacturing plant. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Service Recipient becomes aware of circumstances (including, for clarity, inventory-level management) that could result in such volumes of Products at any Facility exceeding the applicable Guardrail therefor, Service Recipient will promptly notify Service Provider thereof and the Parties will discuss in good faith potential operational adjustments to be mutually agreed in an effort to accommodate such volumes; provided that (i) the Service Recipient will bear all fees and costs associated therewith, which shall be deemed to be “Reimbursable Costs” hereunder and paid to Service Provider in accordance with Section 11.2.2, (ii) such adjustments shall not create volume or space limitations on or otherwise adversely affect Service Provider’s or its Affiliates’ businesses, and (iii) the Guardrail shall continue to apply except as and to the extent specifically agreed otherwise by the Parties in writing; provided further that, without limiting the foregoing clause (i), both Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any cost or loss that they may suffer or incur. Any adjustment to the Guardrail for any portions of the Term will be subject to the mutual written agreement of the Parties; provided that, for clarity, the Guardrail shall continue to apply without any adjustment unless and until such adjustment is so agreed.
