hereunder and to supply such PET Products to the Buyers within the mutually agreed time period.

(f) Any adjustment to the Contract Price resulting from a change in the design of the PET Products specified by PCAM or adoption of new technology shall be negotiated in good faith by the parties taking into consideration the cost savings, or expenses associated with the new design (including any license fees), and any capital investment and implementation costs required to produce the PET Products.

3.4 Capital Investments

(a) Seller shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for maintaining and refurbishing [ * * * ] tooling and parts in use as of the Commencement Date to support PCAM’s Annual Forecast, including but not limited to blow molds, injection molds and labeler personal parts.

(b) Seller shall be responsible for procuring [ * * * ] new tooling and parts required to support PCAM’s Annual Forecast as configured on the Commencement Date, as well as [ * * * ] new tooling and parts and other capital expenditures required to support new, incremental business, with the exception of capital required for new manufacturing lines to expand capacity which shall be subject to mutually-agreed terms.

(c) Seller shall fund capital expenditures for equipment, tooling and parts required to support changes in the Annual Forecast as configured on the Commencement Date, which does not accompany incremental volume (for example, a design change to an existing package), throughout the Term (the “Equipment”). Subject to Seller’s receiving PCAM’s express written prior consent to proceed with such capital expenditures, PCAM shall [ * * * ] (“Cost of Capital” shall be defined as: compound interest at [ * * * ] plus [ * * * ] basis points for payback periods less than or equal to [ * * * ] or [ * * * ] percent for payback periods greater than [ * * * ]); however Seller’s recovery of capital expenditures shall not exceed [ * * * ] months for blow molds and labeler personal parts, and [ * * * ] months for injection tooling. Unamortized Seller capital expenditures and unrecovered Seller Cost of Capital shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the Expiration Date unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise.

(d) If Seller should so purchase and if PCAM should so reimburse, then PCAM shall have the right to the disposition of the Equipment as follows:

(i) If the Equipment does not contain Seller’s intellectual property and if Seller no longer requires the Equipment to fulfill its supply obligations to the Buyers under this Agreement, then Seller shall, upon PCAM’s written request and at PCAM’s expense, transfer title and possession of the Equipment to any entity designated by PCAM and allow PCAM, or its designee, access to the Equipment during Seller’s business hours in order for the Equipment to be removed from Seller’s premises.

(ii) If the Equipment contains Seller’s intellectual property, which Seller shall have specifically described to PCAM in writing prior to placing a purchase order for the Equipment, and if Seller no longer requires the Equipment to fulfill its supply obligations to the Buyers under this Agreement, and if the Equipment may be modified to no longer contain Seller’s intellectual property, then PCAM may, at PCAM expense, so modify the Equipment, whereupon Seller shall, upon PCAM’s written request and at PCAM’s expense, transfer title and possession of the Equipment to any entity designated by PCAM and allow PCAM, or its designee, access to the Equipment during Seller’s business hours in order for the Equipment to be removed from Seller’s premises.

 

 

[ * * * ] Confidential treatment requested.

Supply Agreement   CONFIDENTIAL

 

(iii) If the Equipment contains Seller’s intellectual property, which Seller shall have specifically described to PCAM in writing prior to placing a purchase order for the Equipment, and if Seller no longer requires the Equipment to fulfill its supply obligations to the Buyers under this Agreement, and if the Equipment cannot be modified to no longer contain Seller’s intellectual property, then Seller shall, upon PCAM’s written request, destroy the Equipment and confirm in writing to PCAM that such destruction has taken place. Alternatively, Seller may reimburse PCAM for the greater of the salvage value, book value or the fair market value (“FMV”) of the Equipment, but in no event less than twenty five percent (25%) of the original purchase price. If the Parties cannot agree on a FMV for the Equipment, PCAM has the right to secure an independent third party valuation of the FMV and the Parties agree to use the valuation provided by such independent third party for determining reimbursement amount.

(e) If requested by PCAM, Seller shall purchase blow molds required to support PCAM business from such vendor and at such pricing as may be designated by PCAM.

(f) Subject to a royalty-free license to Seller, or royalty pass-through, mutually acceptable indemnification, performance and processing language, Seller agrees to execute the universal base for new molds supporting Buyers’ volume.

(g) Seller shall fund capital expenditures required for the expected conversion to a short skirt finish. PCAM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) implement such conversion per a schedule that coincides with Seller’s routine refurbishment schedule for impacted injection molds, and (ii) manage the conversion schedule so as to convert the majority of Seller’s impacted molds [ * * * ].

3.5. On or before the Commencement Date of this Agreement, Seller shall terminate its supply agreement dated September 26, 2003 by and between Constar, Inc., Carolina Canners Inc. and the Independent Bottlers (as defined therein) (the “CCI Agreement”).

 

4. QUANTITY

4.1

a) As noted above in Section 3.2(a) above, the Buyers shall purchase from Seller [ * * * ] of their requirements for the PET Products for those of Buyers’ filling locations (plants) set out in Schedule B.

b) On its part, Seller shall make available for sale to the Buyers a quantity of Containers up to [ * * * ], and Preforms up to [ * * * ], of the lower of the applicable Annual Forecast or mutually agreed Revised Forecast, by package, size, and Period as so noted in the applicable Annual or mutually agreed Revised Forecast. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to supply any amounts of Containers in excess of [ * * * ], and Preforms in excess of [ * * * ], of the Annual Forecast or mutually

 

 

[ * * * ] Confidential treatment requested.

 

Page 8 of 46


Supply Agreement   CONFIDENTIAL

 

agreed Revised Forecast requirements by Container and Preform by package size and Period. To the extent that the Seller is unable to supply any portion of these excess quantities, Buyer shall have the right to source such Containers and Preforms from alternate sources at Buyers’ expense during the Period in which Seller cannot so supply. Any PET Products purchased from alternate sources as a result of Seller’s inability to supply Containers up to [ * * * ], and Preforms up to [ * * * ], of the lower of the applicable Annual Forecast or mutually agreed Revised Forecast, will be credited against the then Annual Forecast or mutually agreed Revised Forecast and considered as PET Products supplied by Seller for the purpose of the Buyers’ purchase obligation under this Agreement. Buyers shall receive no credit against the then Annual or mutually agreed Revised Forecast for PET Products purchased from alternate sources for (i) the quantity exceeding Containers up to [ * * * ], and Preforms up to [ * * * ] of the lower of the applicable Annual Forecast or mutually agreed Revised Forecast., and (ii) the quantity Seller may have agreed to cede to an alternate supplier as part of the Annual or Revised Forecast review and confirmation process.

In recognition of the fact that Buyers’ different PET Products have different demand volatility, the parties may, subject to written mutual consent, allow exceptions to the above [ * * * ] and [ * * * ] requirements for specific PET Products for specific time periods.

c) Should PCAM’s Annual Forecast or Revised Forecast exceed the Schedule B estimated volume during any Contract Year, PCAM may opt to amend Schedule B by removing some locations and/or PET Product volumes and replace such items with PET Product volumes from a new Buyer filling location(s) of equivalent or higher volume, and with materially similar economic value to Seller. Such removal and replacement shall not materially alter the [ * * * ] sold to the Buyers. Seller’s acceptance of such removal and replacement will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

4.2 It is anticipated that Seller will supply PET Products from its manufacturing facilities (source) specified in Schedule B to the corresponding Buyers’ filling locations in the quantity and mix also specified in Schedule B, or an updated Schedule B as agreed to by the parties. However, all PET Products purchased by Buyers from Seller during a Contract Year for these locations will be credited towards the Annual Forecast or mutually agreed Revised Forecast.

(a) Any changes in Seller’s manufacturing facilities specified in Schedule B to a Buyer’s corresponding identified filling location as listed in Schedule B will be by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that each party’s agreement will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. However, a material change in Seller’s economic value or a Buyer’s cost to procure the subject or affected supply would be reason to withhold such agreement.

 

 

[ * * * ] Confidential treatment requested.

Supply Agreement   CONFIDENTIAL

 

(b) Any changes in the Buyers’ filling locations as listed in Schedule B will be by mutual agreement of both parties; provided, however, that Seller’s agreement will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. However, a material change in Seller’s economic value or Buyer’s cost to procure the subject or impacted supply would be reason to withhold agreement.

(c) In the event a Buyer intends to convert Container requirements to Preform requirements during the Term, PCAM shall notify Seller of such intent as soon as commercially reasonable. Upon such conversion of Container requirements to Preform requirements, Seller shall have the right to supply such Preforms at the Contract Prices. In the event Seller closes a production location due to a Buyer’s conversion from Container requirements to Preform requirements, [ * * * ].

(d) In the event of such Container requirement changes due to Buyer plant closure or consolidation, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to retain, recover or replace such Container volume.

(e) In the event Buyer acquires a Seller customer, Seller shall [ * * * ] during the Term, and any change in pricing for such volume shall be [ * * * ] following the closing date of the acquisition.

 

5. FORECAST AND INVENTORY REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Preceding each Contract Year, PCAM shall use commercially reasonably efforts to estimate the anticipated requirements for each size PET Product during the next Contract Year and report those estimates as they become available. In order to facilitate additional capital equipment discussions with Seller, the parties shall meet no later than May 1 of each Contract Year to discuss preliminary forecasts for the following year and the parties will mutually agree to any required capital investment for the following Contract Year, in writing, no later than September 1 of each Contract Year. An amended Schedule B will be issued in the event of a significant mutually agreed change in supply.

5.2 On an annual basis, but not later than December 1 of each Contract Year, PCAM shall advise Seller of PCAM’s Annual Forecast, which shall include PCAM’s commercially reasonable estimate of the quantity of all PET Products required, by size, Period and location during the next Contract Year.

5.3 In addition to the Annual Forecast, PCAM shall provide Seller with two forecast adjustments (“Revised Forecast”) of Buyers’ requirements by size, Period and location, revised on or about the close of Periods four and eight. Seller will confirm in writing within twenty-one (21) days of receipt of a Revised Forecast if it agrees to meet the Revised Forecast. If Seller does not agree to meet a Revised Forecast, the most recent Annual forecast or mutually agreed Revised Forecast will remain in force. Seller agrees to request and PCAM agrees to provide the Buyers’ requirements by size and label from

 

 

[ * * * ] Confidential treatment requested.

 

Page 10 of 46


Supply Agreement   CONFIDENTIAL

 

each identified location for each 90-day period of the Annual Forecast, or mutually agreed Revised Forecast, so as to maintain a sufficient supply of labels for application to Containers as directed by their filling locations. Actual shipping releases will be issued by a Buyer one week in advance of shipment in full truckload quantities.

Seller shall communicate to PCAM any persisting failure of a Buyer’s filling locations to provide 30-day order forecasts and 90-day rolling forecasts by size and label, and PCAM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause that Buyer’s filling locations to provide such forecasts.

5.4 Subject to PCAM’s fulfillment of Section 5.2 above, Seller shall provide PCAM with a supply plan no later than January 15 of each Contract Year, demonstrating Seller’s ability to meet the Annual Forecast by filling location for the Contract Year.

(a) Seller shall maintain at all times a combination of capacity and inventory for each Container size equal to [ * * * ] days of each Period’s forecast plus [ * * * ], and for each Preform size equal to [ * * * ] days of each Period’s forecast plus [ * * * ], except where mutually agreed upon by PCAM and Seller.

(b) PCAM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to compare actual PET Product usage with PET Product production rates and the Annual Forecast, or a mutually agreed Revised Forecast, so as to enable Seller to maintain a combination of capacity and inventory of no more than [ * * * ] days supply of Containers at [ * * * ] and Preforms at [ * * * ] of forecast; provided, however, that prior to and during Periods of peak demand, Seller may be required to build a greater combination of capacity and inventory of certain size PET Products, in order to meet the Buyers’ seasonally adjusted requirements for PET Products. If PCAM specifically instructs Seller to build inventory levels greater than the contractually agreed upon levels, the Buyers shall pay Seller any costs associated with the building of that specific inventory upon mutually acceptable terms and conditions.

(c) If additional storage space is required to accommodate a greater production inventory beyond [ * * * ] days, Seller shall, prior to signing a contract for such additional space, where Seller is being reimbursed by PCAM for such space, consult with and only enter into a contract with the consent of the PCAM. [ * * * ] for any additional rental and handling costs necessarily incurred, provided that Seller and PCAM shall cooperate to minimize the quantity of the excess inventory and the cost of acquiring such additional storage space.

 

6. FAILURE TO BUY

6.1 For each Contract Year, should the Buyers fail to purchase a minimum of [ * * * ] of the Annual Forecast, or mutually agreed Revised Forecast, by Sourcing Cell for

 

 

[ * * * ] Confidential treatment requested.

 

Page 11 of 46


Supply Agreement   CONFIDENTIAL

 

Containers or [ * * * ] of the Annual Forecast, or mutually agreed Revised Forecast, for Preforms for such Contract Year, PCAM agrees to [ * * * ] an [ * * * ], [ * * * ], provided Seller is unsuccessful in utilizing its assets to produce PET Products for other customers or other PCAM business. To the extent the parties mutually agree that Seller may source Containers from a supply location other than the Sourcing Cells, any such supply shall be deemed to have been sourced from a Sourcing Cell as per Schedule B for the purpose of [ * * * ] under this Section 6.1.

6.2 In the event PCAM changes label design or PET Product Specifications, or in the event PCAM discontinues any brand or size of PET Product during the Term, the Buyers shall be responsible for any PET Products produced by Seller and labels purchased by Seller prior to notification of the change or discontinuance up to a maximum one month PET Product inventory, unless otherwise agreed to in writing or forecasted by PCAM, of the affected Container, and a three month inventory, unless otherwise agreed to in writing or forecasted by PCAM, of the affected label, and [ * * * ] and the subsequent discontinuance of the PET Product by PCAM. Seller’s one month PET Product inventory and three month label inventory shall be measured with respect to the most recent Annual Forecast or mutually agreed Revised Forecast upon which Seller relied to plan such inventory.

 

7. FAILURE TO SUPPLY

7.1 If, in any Period during the Term, Seller fails to supply PET Products required by the Buyers in the Annual Forecast or a mutually agreed Revised Forecast, as the case may be, whether due to Force Majeure, as defined in Section 15.1 hereof, or otherwise, Seller shall immediately notify PCAM in writing of the nature, extent and estimated duration of such failure. Upon receipt of such notice, Buyers shall be entitled to purchase suitable PET Products to replace the PET Products not being supplied by Seller from another source (a “Third Party Supplier”) without thereby terminating or breaching this Agreement and without any impairment of PCAM’s right of termination under Section 7.5 below.

7.2 With the exception of a failure to supply (a) caused by Force Majeure, and (b) Container volume in excess of [ * * * ] and/or Preform volume in excess of [ * * * ] of the applicable forecast confirmed by Seller, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyers from and against all reasonable and substantiated costs and expenses incurred by Buyer arising out of Seller’s inability to supply PET Products including but not limited to Buyers’ cost in purchasing replacement PET Products at prices including freight which are in excess of those set forth herein. These costs and expenses shall not include lost profits of the Buyers.

7.3 Buyer shall take all commercially reasonable steps to minimize the damages and expenses it incurs as a result of Seller’s failure to supply PET Products.

7.4 Seller covenants and agrees to utilize its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyers in purchasing suitable PET Products in the event that Seller is unable to supply the quantity of PET Products required in accordance with the Annual Forecast or Revised

 

 

[ * * * ] Confidential treatment requested.

Supply Agreement   CONFIDENTIAL

 

Forecast, as the case may be; or Container volume in excess of [ * * * ] and/or Preform volume in excess of [ * * * ] of the applicable forecast that Seller is unable to supply.

7.5 In the event that Seller is unable to supply PET Products required by a Buyer in accordance with this Agreement for a period which exceeds [ * * * ] consecutive days, excluding all supply interruptions due to Force Majeure events, PCAM shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement with respect to any or all Buyer locations impacted by the supply interruption upon [ * * * ] days’ written notice without further financial obligation or damages being payable by Buyers.

7.6 Any PET Products secured from alternate sources when permitted by this Section 7 shall be credited against the then Annual Forecast or mutually agreed Revised Forecast and considered as PET Products supplied by Seller for the purpose of volume [ * * * ] reconciliations. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the volume and duration of any such shortfall, and any commitment to other suppliers necessary to cover such shortfall.

 

8. CONTRACT PRICES

8.1

(a) The contract prices to be charged to the Buyers under this Agreement are all FOB Seller’s source manufacturing plant provided in Schedule B and are set forth in Schedule C attached (the “Contract Prices”) subject to adjustments described in this Section 8.

(b) The Contract Prices contained herein are based upon a [ * * * ], which price shall be used by the Seller in billing the Buyers for the PET Products so as to protect the confidentiality of the actual resin prices and which price PCAM may, in its sole discretion, change from time to time.

(i) The actual price of resin will vary and will be set to PCAM’s Weighted Average Price of Resin (“WAPR”) from PCAM’s other domestic PET bottle suppliers unless (1) PCAM and Seller agree in writing to a mutually acceptable resin price or pricing mechanism [ * * * ] in which case the pricing mechanism of such agreement shall be effective or (2) PCAM invokes its option to supply resin, as detailed in Section 9 below or (3) [ * * * ] in writing, no later than October 15 preceding the first Contract Year and no later than September 1 preceding subsequent Contract Years, that [ * * * ].

(ii) PCAM and Seller agree to meet, at a minimum, quarterly to review Seller’s procurement strategy for PET prime resin, and to discuss ways to reduce resin cost. PCAM and Seller shall work together to reach a mutual agreement on the cost and supply arrangement of virgin resin, colorants/additives, and recycled resin, all herein referred to as “resin.” Seller shall work with PCAM to understand PCAM’s objectives

 

 

[ * * * ] Confidential treatment requested.

Supply Agreement   CONFIDENTIAL

 

and strategies to determine successful mechanisms that will achieve a low cost stable resin supply. Beginning in 2008 and continuing each Contract Year thereafter, if both PCAM and Seller have agreed to or shall agree to a resin strategy and associated pricing mechanism for the upcoming Contract Year on or before September 1, PCAM and Seller will sign a letter agreement detailing the conditions and pricing for said period of time and these prices will be the final cost charged to Buyer as specified in the letter agreement for the stated period of time. PCAM will still, however, retain the option of setting a different Base Resin Price that Seller uses for both confidentiality and PET Product billing purposes, as note above in Section 8.1(a).

(iii) Upon a change in resin price as provided in Section 8.1.b.i. above, there shall be an upward or downward adjustment to the Contract Prices calculated using the formula set forth in Schedule E.

(c) Contract Prices are for Containers bulk palletized, stretch wrapped and strapped, and for Preforms in gaylords, as outlined in Schedule F hereof.

(d) If Seller is required to provide labeling for the Containers covered under this Agreement, label application prices as set forth in Schedule D shall be charged to a Buyer.

(e) PCAM may supply or direct Seller to purchase the quantities of labels necessary to produce all or a portion of the Containers covered under this Agreement, and will work with Seller to implement label procurement programs that deliver mutual cost reduction objectives.

(i) Seller agrees to work in good faith with PCAM directed label manufacturer(s). Seller shall provide PCAM-directed labeler manufacturers on the third business day of each month with Seller label orders, and Buyer-supplied 30-day order forecasts and 90-day rolling forecasts (if not provided by Buyer directly to labeler manufacturers).

28 MINORITY BUSINESS EXPENDITURES

28.1 To support PepsiCo, Inc.’s minority business objectives, PCAM requests that Seller target a minimum of ten percent (10%) of its annual Buyer-related sales value to be made up of work done by minority or women owned companies. The NMSDC, WBENC or other accreditation agencies must certify minority/women owned businesses on an annual basis. Minority Owned businesses are defined as a business that is certified to be 51% owned controlled and operated by a US citizen or lawfully permanent resident consisting of the following groups: African American, Hispanic American, Native American and Asian American. Women Owned businesses shall mean a business that is certified to be at least 51% owned, controlled and operated by a woman or women.

Seller shall report minority business results on a quarterly basis to: Manager, PepsiCo, Inc Minority Business, providing current level of second tier spending broken down by minority/women. If less than ten percent (10%), Seller shall provide the process to be enacted to achieve the ten percent (10%) level.

With regard to reporting the above annual sales value, multiple methods are acceptable, however, certain guidelines apply. For example: ABC Company provides PepsiCo, Inc. with goods. PepsiCo, Inc. represents ten (10%) of ABC’s system-wide business. ABC’s M/WBE program spent twenty million dollars system-wide; therefore, PepsiCo, Inc.’s portion is two million dollars. However Seller must list each minority supplier and what product or service he or she supplies. Seller may report any spending which can be directly related to a product of a PCAM affiliate.

28.2 Seller’s failure to achieve the above-referenced ten percent (10%) value of work done by minority or women owned companies as a percent of its annual Buyer-related sales value shall not constitute a default or breach of this Agreement.

 

29 No Publicity

29.1 Neither Seller or a Buyer shall use the name or marks, refer to, or identify the other or any affiliated entities of the other in publicity releases, interviews, promotional or marketing materials, announcements, customer listings, testimonials, or advertising without prior written permission from the other party, except that Seller may identify Buyer as a client of Seller.

 

30. SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

30.1 This Agreement shall be subject to, and Seller shall adhere to, PepsiCo’s Worldwide Supplier Code of Conduct, which is available at the following website: http://www.pepsico.com/PEP_Citizenship/SupplierCOC/index.cfm, as amended from time to time.

EXAMPLES OF DETERMINING PRICE CHANGE

DUE TO CHANGE IN RESIN PRICING

An example of the calculation used for determining price changes based on resin cost changes is as follows:

Bottle price change per 1,000 containers = A minus B where,

 

A =    New Actual Resin Cost = [ (Bottle Gram Weight X 1000) ÷ 453.6 ] x (New Resin Cost in Cents/Pound)
B =    Current Actual Resin Cost = [ (Bottle Gram Weight X 1000) ÷ 453.6 ] x (Current Resin Cost in Cents/Pound)

The above formula is illustrated for a [ * * * ] gram, 2-liter bottle at [ * * * ] resin decrease change as follows:

 

Price Change per

Thousand Containers

   =    A minus B
where A    =      [ * * * ]
   =      [ * * * ]
and where B    =      [ * * * ]
   =      [ * * * ]
so that A minus B    =      [ * * * ]
   =      [ * * * ]
