Except as modified by such amendment, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to purchases of Products by Committed Purchasers, and such purchases shall be deemed to have been made under this Agreement. If the Committed Purchasers fail to meet any agreed upon commitments, Vendor’s sole remedy shall be to terminate the applicable amendment and move the Committed Purchasers to the prices applicable under this Agreement.
