The Stores shall accept each delivery by McLane, and shall be available for those deliveries on a [***]-hours-a-day, [***]-days-a-week flexibility schedule, except where the Store’s hours of business or applicable local government ordinances restrict such unlimited availability, in which case Stripes shall grant McLane the most flexible delivery window reasonably possible under the circumstances. The foregoing flexibility commitment notwithstanding, McLane shall use its best efforts to ensure that at least [***] of deliveries are scheduled and made during Non-Peak hours, and Stripes shall have the opportunity to review and provide recommendations with respect to any delivery schedules prepared by McLane prior to their implementation.

All such notices, requests, consents, waivers or other communications will be deemed to have been given and received on the date of delivery if sent by personal delivery, facsimile transmission, or overnight delivery; or on the third business day after mailing it in accordance with this Section.

6.5 Confidentiality. Each party shall maintain in strict confidence all information communicated to that party by the other or any Affiliate, will use it only for purposes of this agreement, and will not disclose it, or any of the provisions of this agreement, without the prior written consent of the other party, except as may be necessary by reason of legal, accounting or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the recipient party.

Stripes may perform an examination using its own personnel or an independent certified public accounting firm retained by Stripes, or both. Each examination will be performed entirely at McLane’s facilities in Temple, Texas. McLane will cooperate with and give reasonable assistance to Stripes to examine the Records. All Records and other information examined shall be subject to Section 6.5 (Confidentiality), and no records may leave the McLane premises. If Stripes desires to engage an independent certified public accounting

6.7 Authority to Bind. Each party represents that the person executing this agreement on its behalf has full authority to execute this agreement and to bind that party.

6.8 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party or parties bound thereby. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this agreement or exercise any right granted hereby is not to be construed to be a waiver of that provision or right, nor to affect the validity of this agreement or any part of it, nor to limit in any way the right of either party subsequently to enforce any provision or exercise any right in accordance with its terms.

6.9 Assignment. This agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither party may assign this agreement unless the other consents in writing unless such assignment is to such party’s Affiliate and such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions hereunder.

6.10 Manufacturers’ Warranties. McLane shall pass to Stripes any warranties, indemnifications or other protections made available by the applicable Manufacturer or vendor to the full extent McLane is authorized to pass those benefits. In the event of any claims arising out of or related to any Product, Stripes shall look solely to the Manufacturer or vendor of such Product for defense, indemnification or other applicable relief, and not to McLane. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED UNDER THIS SECTION, ALL PRODUCTS SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE SOLD BY MCLANE “AS IS” AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES BY MCLANE OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

6.11 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.3, IN NO EVENT WILL McLANE BE LIABLE FOR (A) ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF STRIPES, OR (B) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF McLANE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES, AND WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT TORT, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

10

6.12 Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this agreement (other than obligations to pay money when due) because of circumstances beyond its control, including acts of God, flood, fire, riot, accident, strikes, or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, inability to obtain phone lines, government action (including enactment of any statute, regulation, rule, ordinance or other law of the United States or any state or local government or any subdivision or agency thereof (“Law”) that restricts or prohibits the performance contemplated by this agreement) and other causes beyond its control, whether or not of the same class or kind as specifically named above. If either party is unable to perform any obligation (other than an obligation by Stripes to pay amounts under Section 3.3 when due) for any of these reasons, and that party gives a written notice, within 5 business days after the occurrence of the event, describing (i) its inability to so perform, (ii) the steps it plans to take to rectify or mitigate that inability, and (iii) the anticipated length of that inability, then the obligations of that party will be suspended for the duration, and only to the extent of, that event. Without limiting the foregoing, if for any reason McLane is unable to supply the total demand for a product, it may allocate its available supply among itself and its customers as McLane determines to be fair and practical, without liability for any failure of performance that may result; provided, however, that McLane shall give effect to any special or preferential allocations Stripes may secure through independent negotiations with any Manufacturer or supplier.

6.13 Material Change in Circumstances. A party may send a notice to the other party requesting renegotiation of this agreement (a “Change Notice”) if a significant change in circumstances occurs that affects product or delivery cost with respect to the products or services, or both, to be provided under this agreement or that affects the overall economics of that party’s business (any such event, a “Material Change”). Examples of a Material Change would include: [***] set forth in this agreement. Any Change Notice must describe the Material Change in detail, its effects on the party sending the Change Notice, and the modifications to this agreement being requested as a result. If the parties have not reached agreement as to the requested modifications 60 days after the applicable Change Notice was sent, Stripes Chief Executive Officer or a designated Stripes company officer and McLane’s President shall meet, and any joint decision they reach will be binding on the parties. If the parties are unable to reach agreement, the party sending the Change Notice may terminate this agreement by giving the other party, within 30 days after the date of that meeting, a written notice that specifies a termination date that is no later than 180 days after the date of that notice.

6.14 Governing Law; Forum. The laws of the state of Texas, other than its choice-of-law rules, govern this agreement and all transactions under it. Each party agrees that the sole jurisdiction and venue for any litigation arising under or related to this agreement or to any products distributed, sold or received under this agreement, will be the District Courts of the state of Texas, Harris County. Each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court, agrees to venue in that court, waives any defense of forum non conveniens, agrees to notice and service of process by mail at its address specified in this agreement, and agrees to enforcement of any award or judgment in any jurisdiction in which that party has its business or assets.
