NAPA STOCK REGULATION AND

OBSOLESCENCE PREVENTION PLAN

Each part number of each NAPA Manufacturer’s line will be assigned a classification letter in accordance with the guidelines used by the GPC Classification Department. Each manufacturer’s line will be reviewed at least once each year by the GPC Classification Department with the assistance of the NAPA Manufacturer, for the purpose of making any necessary revisions to the classification letters of the part numbers in that line. After each of the three classification sections have been reviewed, a revised customized classification section book will be published.

All new numbers will be reviewed with the GPC Classification Department prior to their announcement for the purpose of establishing the proper classification symbol.

NAPA Distribution Centers have the privilege of making at least one stock adjustment and one clean-up of obsolete merchandise return to the manufacturer each year with no handling charge. The Distribution Center will furnish the manufacturer a list of part numbers and quantities to be returned. No merchandise will be returned to the factory until the request for return has been approved. The manufacturer will approve the return requests within two weeks of receiving the request.

No part number will be discontinued by the manufacturer without appearing as obsolete in one issue of the NAPA Classification Book. The Distribution Centers should return all obsolete parts within the calendar year in which they are printed obsolete in the NAPA Classification Book. The Distribution Centers may return to the factory within 60 days of purchase, without handling charge, any part classified as obsolete at the time of purchase.

4.	All merchandise returned to the factory must be received in undamaged and saleable condition, except obsolete merchandise, transportation charges prepaid.

5.	The NAPA Manufacturer will issue to the NAPA Distribution Center a credit within 30 days for the returned merchandise based on the current Distribution Center net prices in effect at the time of the receipt of the merchandise. No handling charge will be assessed on the returned merchandise.

The NAPA Distribution Center will maintain a stock of all part numbers classified “W,” “WW,” “A,” “B,” “C” or “D.” The distribution Center may stock at their discretion any part numbers classified “S.” The Distribution Center should also maintain a stock of all “H,” “M,” “T,” “XA,” “XB,” “XC” and “XD” classified items.

NAPA SUPPLIER SERVICE LEVEL

GPC’s former Supplier Service Level methodology was changed after all of APG’s Distribution Centers completed the conversion to the J.D. Edwards ERP system. The most significant changes were to:

Implement a standard unit-based order fill measurement compared to the former line-based measurement.

Insure that each order was included for measurement. To accomplish this, the monthly report places focus on when orders are received (or Jobber Directs/Special Orders are billed) rather than when orders were placed – a vast departure from the former reporting logic.

Expect supplier acknowledgement of every item ordered on every PO – either as shipped or cancelled (or backordered when a temporary ship/backorder agreement is in force).

Order Fill measurement is calculated by dividing the number of units shipped by the number of units ordered. To arrive at the most effective measurement for DC Stock Replenishment orders, the following business rules are applied to this calculation:

•

GPC expects every DC Stock Replenishment order to be filled 100% complete within two business days of receiving them. Therefore, every item is included for measurement.

•

All Receipts occurring in the calendar reporting month are included for measurement.

•

Orders must be two months old or less to be included for measurement. This time frame will be expanded to accommodate backorders, promotional orders and upgrade orders in the next release.

•

Item Units received by the expected delivery date are counted as “shipped”, while Items received after the expected delivery date are counted as “not shipped”. This does not currently account for the extended lead time necessary to accommodate promotional or upgrade orders. Until this issue is addressed in the next release, all late orders will be excluded from monthly reporting.

•

Item Units Cancelled by the supplier are counted as “not shipped”.

•

Item Units not shipped or cancelled by the expected delivery date and still open when the monthly service report is generated are considered “Orphaned-Open” units and are counted as “not shipped”.

•

Item Units not shipped or cancelled by the expected delivery date but forced closed by APG before the monthly service report is generated are considered “Orphaned-Closed” units and are counted as “not shipped”.

•

Lead Time is a significant factor in determining the timely delivery of supplier orders. Distribution Center Lead Time for weekly stock orders is calculated using the average delivery lead time of all purchase orders received over a rolling 3 months by supplier/DC. The resulting lead time value is used to calculate an expected delivery date for each PO. Our intention in the current state is not to count late shipments against the supplier. Ultimately, we intend to assess service penalties for shipments that are “Late” based on expected delivery dates. This metric will be tracked and reported for several months before late penalties are assessed against any supplier.

Other Considerations

•

Open quantities of ordered items that have not reached their expected ship date are included in the next reporting month.

•

When APG is compelled to cancel an entire order, all SKU quantities on the order are excluded from service level measurement. This is done to protect suppliers order fill percent.

•

Item Units Received in excess of the quantity originally ordered are adjusted to reflect the new higher shipped quantity. This avoids inflating the service level percent in the units-based calculation.

•

The current software does not recognize backordered items, and will consider them as Orphaned-Open units in the first reporting month, and as Orphaned-Closed if fulfilled in the subsequent reporting month.

•

All Items on an order are considered in the monthly service level reporting with no exclusions or masking logic applied to previously canceled quantities.

Direct and Special Order Service Level Expectations

GPC expects that every Jobber Direct Ship Order will be processed, shipped and invoiced within two business days of a supplier receiving the order. In addition:

•

NAPA Jobbers expect their orders to arrive at their place of business within 10 working days of the date their order was placed.

•

Jobber Direct orders cross-docked thru a NAPA Distribution Center are given the same expected delivery date as a DC Stock Replenishment order.

•

Reasonable exceptions for arrival dates are expected when orders are destined for Hawaii and Alaska Jobbers.

Jobber Special Orders are expected to be invoiced the same day they are received. In addition:

•

Exception to same day invoicing is acceptable when a special order is received after a published cutoff time.

•

Each special order is expected to arrive at the NAPA Store within the normal time frame given for the method of transportation specified when their order was placed.

•

Special orders cross-docked thru a NAPA Distribution Center (or shipped WOG) are given the same expected delivery date as a DC Stock Replenishment order.

Please Note: Jobber Direct Ship and Special Orders are presently not included in supplier order fill reporting. This measure will be included for service level penalty when the software is released.

Please Note: Quaker City Distribution Center orders are not included in service measurements at this time. Until that happens, all suppliers are expected to provide the same level of service to all NAPA Distribution Centers.

SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

At Genuine Parts Company (“GPC”), we are committed to a standard of excellence in every aspect of our business, to ethical and responsible conduct in all of our operations, to the respect of the rights of all individuals, and to respect for the environment. We expect our Suppliers to share these same commitments. At a minimum, GPC requires that Supplier meet the following standards:

Compensation. Supplier must comply with all applicable wage and hour laws and regulations, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime, and other elements of compensation, and will provide all legally mandated benefits. If local laws do not provide for overtime pay, Supplier will, at a minimum, pay regular wages for overtime work.

Hours of Work. Supplier will maintain reasonable work hours in compliance with all applicable wage and hour laws and regulations. Suppliers will not require employees to work more than any limits on regular and overtime hours allowed by any applicable local law.

Forced Labor/Prison Labor. Supplier will not use forced or involuntary labor, including prison, bonded, indentured, or otherwise.

Child Labor. Supplier will not use child labor. “Child” is any person who is younger than 15 (or 14 where the local law allows), or younger than the age for completing compulsory education where such age is higher than 15. Supplier will comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the employment of young persons who do not fall within this definition of “child.”

Coercion and Harassment. Supplier will treat each employee with dignity and respect, and will not use corporal punishment, threats of violence, or other forms of physical, sexual, psychological, or verbal harassment or abuse.

Discrimination. Supplier will not discriminate in hiring practices or any other term or condition of work on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, or other similar factors.

Concern for the Environment. Supplier will comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Compliance with Applicable Laws. Supplier will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to Supplier’s business, as well as the applicable standards of its industry, including those pertaining to the manufacture, pricing, sale, distribution, and exportation of merchandise. If industry standards exceed local legal requirements, GPC will favor Suppliers who meet the industry standards. Supplier will not violate or infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party, and will not engage in any activities, such as bribery of local officials, which would violate any applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Supplier will comply will all applicable customs laws and regulations, to include all labeling and warning requirements on merchandise.

Subcontracting. Supplier will not use subcontractors unless each subcontractor has entered into a written agreement to comply with this Code of Conduct, and Supplier can provide GPC with a copy of this written agreement upon request.

Monitoring and Compliance. Supplier authorizes GPC or our designated agents (including third parties) to engage in monitoring activities to confirm compliance with this Code of Conduct, to include on-site inspection of facilities and review of books and records relating to employment matters. Notwithstanding such authorization, GPC does not assume any duty to monitor or ensure compliance with this Code of Conduct, and Supplier acknowledges and agrees that Supplier is solely responsible for full compliance with this Code of Conduct by its officers, directors, managers and employees.

Termination of Relationship. Any Supplier who fails or refuses to comply with this Code of Conduct is subject to the immediate cancellation of all outstanding orders, refusal or return of any shipment, and termination of its business relationship with GPC.

Publication. Supplier will ensure that the provisions of this Code of Conduct are adequately conveyed to all employees, and will post a copy of this Code in the local language and in a place readily accessible to employees, at all times.

Agents and Brokers. In the event GPC uses an Agent or Broker to arrange for product to be supplied to GPC by any Supplier, the Agent or Broker shall ensure that this Code of Conduct is provided to the Supplier, and will take all necessary actions to ensure that the Supplier, as well as the officers and employees of the Agent or Broker, comply in all respects with the terms of this Code of Conduct.

Supplier acknowledges and agrees that GPC may require Supplier to reaffirm this Code of Conduct, or execute a new Code of Conduct, from time to time and that this Code of Conduct replaces and supplants any prior Code of Conduct governing Supplier’s relationship with GPC. As a duly authorized officer or director of Supplier, the undersigned acknowledges that he/she has read this Code of Conduct and understands that Supplier’s business relationship with GPC is based on Supplier’s full compliance with this Code of Conduct. The undersigned understands that Supplier’s failure to abide by the terms of this Code of Conduct may result in GPC’s immediate cancellation or termination of any and all outstanding agreements and purchase orders between GPC and Supplier, including, without limitation, GPC’s cancellation of orders for goods in process or scheduled to be made at the time of cancellation or termination, whether involving raw materials, work in process or finished goods, or merchandise in Supplier’s, GPC’s or a third party’s possession.

Re: New Discrepancy Process Guidelines

Dear Supplier,

The NAPA catalog discrepancy system has been in place since 1987. The rules of the discrepancy system have only slightly changed since that time. These rules are being expanded to other data sets, which can affect more suppliers. It is crucial that you review these guidelines to be sure you have the processes in place to rapidly respond to any discrepancies, thus avoiding delinquency fines.

Since 2004, NAPA has provided other vehicle types to suppliers so that application data can be provided for those vehicles. Ample time has been allowed for suppliers to populate these vehicles. Therefore, effective August 1, 2012, eligible vehicles are being expanded to include ALL vehicles and ALL vehicle types in the NAPA vehicle table.

The discrepancy criteria are:

•

Any NAPA products which have been previously approved by the NAPA product department that do not appear in cataloging are eligible for discrepancies.

•

NAPA Store Counter Personnel are eligible to fill out and submit discrepancy forms whenever they encounter missing or inaccurate information.

•

NAPA Stores will no longer have a limit of 50 valid discrepancies.

•

Missing or inaccurate vehicle application data is eligible, as well as missing or inaccurate images, interchange, MSDS, or warranty. If this data appears in print form anywhere in the industry, or in electronic form anywhere in the industry (including competitor sites or older NAPA catalogs), but does not exist in the NAPA PartsPRO SE catalog, the discrepancy is valid.

•

Once a discrepancy form is submitted, the NAPA Catalog Data Analyst reviews the discrepancy for validity, and then sends valid discrepancies to the supplier for review.

•

Suppliers have 14 calendar days from the date notified to respond. If deemed valid, the supplier will pay $30 for each valid discrepancy (invoicing is generated once a month). If the supplier deems the discrepancy invalid and the catalog analyst agrees, no invoice will occur.

•

If the supplier does not respond within 14 calendar days, the discrepancy is deemed valid regardless and the supplier will be invoiced $30. Then for each 30 day period forward, until an accurate response is received, the supplier will be fined $500.

•

For valid discrepancies, if the corrected data is not received within 30 days from the date originally notified, the supplier will be invoiced $500, then for each subsequent 30 day period with no response.

Counterpersons are paid a bounty if they are the first to submit a valid discrepancy. In the end, the cost to pay one counterperson is small compared to the numerous lost sales resulting from faulty or missing data. Your adherence to our discrepancy policies are required as part of your arrangement sheet. Thank you in advance for abiding by these policies.

Sincerely,

Jim Smith
