“Should ChromaDex fail to have purchased its purchase requirements (as specified in the Binding Forecasts and/or in any applicable Minimum Purchase Obligation period specified in the preceding paragraph) of the Product […***…] before the end of the then current […***…] in relation to the Binding Forecast or the end of any applicable Minimum Purchase Obligation period specified in the preceding sentence, ChromaDex shall pay for, and take delivery of, any remaining portion of such purchase requirements prior to the end of the applicable period.”
