The Production Pricing for the first quantity of 200, which includes the Models quantity, is based on the Supplier meeting the Required Prototype Delivery Dates for the first two sets of boards, with the sets of boards as defined in Article 5. If the Supplier does not meet the Required Prototype Delivery Dates for the first two sets of boards, the Production Pricing stated for the first quantity of two hundred shall be reduced on a pro-rated basis based on the number of days missed between the Required Prototype Delivery Dates for the first two sets of boards and the date of April 7, 2000, the "Late Delivery Date".
