Seller will provide any additional tonnage at the same terms as stated in this Agreement. Each quarterly option of Buyer to alter volumes shall be limited to plus or minus ten percent (10%). If Buyer does not elect to alter volumes by plus or minus ten percent (10%) in any given quarter, such option to elect shall not carry over and/or be available in addition to the 10% volume alteration option available in the following quarter. If Buyer does elect to alter volumes by plus or minus ten percent (10%) in any given quarter, Annual Volume requirements under this Agreement shall be adjusted accordingly.
