“GEHC shall settle any undisputed invoices arising under this Agreement [*] after date of invoice prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.”

The first paragraph of Section 16.1 of Attachment E, as previously amended by Amendment No.1 and Section 2(l) of Amendment No. 3, is amended and replaced in its entirety as follows:

“This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, subject as hereinafter provided, shall continue in effect until Dec 31^st 2019. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, GEHC may reduce its minimum purchase commitments for any or all Products from Supplier hereunder [*] upon [*] written notice to Supplier, provided that GEHC may not issue such notice of reduction until after [*].
