Common use of Code Date Management Clause in Contracts

Code Date Management. The following shall be the private label management practices KeHE and SFM will continue to employ in order to manage private label inventory: i. ▇▇▇▇ shall provide the respective SFM Category Managers a dedicated periodic inventory report showing expiration dates and time remaining for all private label Product inventories in each facility. This provides the opportunity for SFM and KeHE to manage close-coded private label items through special promotions and proactive distribution to SFM stores while the product is still saleable. ii. The above procedures are aimed to minimize losses due to short-coded or past code private label inventory. In the event private label inventory is required to be discarded, SFM shall notify KeHE to remove the product from inventory and KeHE shall b▇▇▇ SFM or the corresponding private label manufacturer for the value of that inventory. To the extent the private label manufacturer will not accept such charges, [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. iii. In the event KeHE fails to notify SFM of a private label’s item short-code status at least 30 days prior to its expiration date, or at an earlier agreed- upon timeframe for items with shorter shelf-life, resulting in the private label item being discarded due to it reaching the end of its code date life, [*CONFIDENTIAL*].
