    (ii) If Supplier decreases the price for any Special Cost Product, Supplier shall provide a price protection credit to Distributor in an amount equal to the difference between the prior Special Cost in effect at the date of the price change and the new Special Cost multiplied by the quantity of such Special Cost Product in Distributor's inventory on the effective date of such price change.

    (iii) If Supplier increases the price for any Special Cost Product, Supplier shall invoice Distributor in an amount equal to the difference between the prior Special Cost in effect at the date of the price change and the new Special Cost multiplied by the quantity of such Special Cost Product in Distributor's inventory on the effective date of such price change.

Distributor must request an RMA from Supplier within ten (10) working days of Supplier's determination of and invoicing for the Net Inventory Effect. Returns under this section in no way offset or relieve Distributor from its obligations to pay any amounts due under section (iv).

F.Stock Rotation  The exchange value for Special Cost Products under stock rotation privileges of the Agreement shall be the Special Cost Price at the time of the stock rotation.

3.RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS  Distributor shall comply with all Supplier requirements regarding the Special Cost Program.

C.  Upon termination of this Special Cost Program or removal of a Special Cost Product from the Special Cost Program, the price of the (former) Special Cost Product(s) will be adjusted to the cost shown in the then current Supplier US Distributor Price Book. Price adjustments may result in inventory and backlog write-down or write-up, credit or payment between Distributor and Supplier and return of Special Cost Products using the procedures set forth in the Special Cost policies and procedures. (The current procedure is outlined in Section 2.E. of this Special Cost Schedule.) In lieu of any inventory write-up, Distributor will be entitled to return any affected inventory to Supplier for credit.
