Any request by Supplier for adjustment must be asserted within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by the Supplier of the notification of change from Company or discovery of circumstances prompting a Supplier-requested change via SCR. Failure by Supplier to request an adjustment within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the notification of change from Company, or discovery of circumstances prompting a Supplier-requested change, shall result in Supplier’s right to adjustment being deemed conclusively waived.
(d) In the event that Supplier and Company disagree on any equitable adjustment in connection with this Section 14, such disagreement shall not excuse Supplier from performing its obligations with respect to any authorized Work and the Work as changed under this Purchase Order.

Any adjustments agreed shall be documented as a written Purchase Order revision in accordance with Section 14 (Changes). A stop work order under this Section 16(b) will not constitute a suspension under Section 24 (Suspension; Extension of Time).

Supplier shall submit all invoices to Invoices@terrapower.com. Company will pay all undisputed amounts due to the Supplier for Work within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Supplier's invoice.

In the event of any occurrence of item (i), Company will provide Supplier with written notice of the nature of the default and Company’s intention to terminate for default.
