As soon as Supplier determines that a delivery date cannot be met, Supplier shall immediately inform Skyryse in writing of the cause for such delay and Supplier’s earliest possible delivery date so that Skyryse can determine whether to accept Supplier’s proposed new schedule. Supplier agrees that in the event Components are delinquent to Skyryse’s acknowledged Purchase Order, Supplier will grant Skyryse first priority for completed Components’ allocation and shipment. Supplier will bear the cost of any and all expedited shipping

If the cost of property or material made obsolete or excess as a result of a Change is included in the Adjustment Claim, Skyryse may direct the disposition of such property or material.
For Supplier-initiated requests, Supplier must submit an Adjustment Claim in writing in the form of a complete change proposal, fully supported by factual information, to Skyryse’s procurement representative no later than 15 days after Supplier's receipt of the Change. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that changes in delivery/performance schedule are normal and anticipated in the course of the Order.
