d. A new Section 9 is added as follows:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Distributor [***] by sending written notice to VMSC thereof (a “Program Change [***]”), not more than 180 days after it receives an [***] Notice, and if Distributor [***] pursuant to this Section 9, then, and only then, will the Monthly Incentive Reimbursement Amount be [***].
