RECITALS
A.

B. Retailer owns and operates, directly or indirectly (through one of more entities or Affiliates), 49 independent full service retail grocery markets in California and Oregon.
C. The execution and delivery of this Supply Agreement is a condition to UWG’s and Retailer’s obligations to close the transactions contemplated by that certain Series A Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”).
D. UWG and Retailer desire to enter into this Supply Agreement pursuant to which UWG would become Retailer’s primary long-term supplier on the terms set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the representations, warranties and agreements set forth in this Supply Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Retailer and UWG hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Merchandise.
1.1 Subject to the terms of this Supply Agreement, Retailer hereby agrees that Retailer and its Affiliates shall, during the term of this Supply Agreement, purchase from UWG or its Affiliates Merchandise in the product categories in such quantities so as to meet the requirements as set forth in Section 2 below, which Merchandise Retailer and its Affiliates will carry in its retail grocery stores for resale to its customers, and UWG (on behalf of itself and the Suppliers) hereby agrees to sell such Merchandise to Retailer and its Affiliates. Listed on Schedule 1.1 are (i) the retail grocery stores owned or operated by Retailer and (ii) a list of Affiliates of Retailer that own or operate retail grocery stores.
-1-
1.2 Retailer hereby agrees to be fully responsible for its Affiliates and their compliance with the terms of this Supply Agreement, and guarantees full and timely performance, by each of Retailer’s Affiliates, with all of the terms and conditions of this Supply Agreement. If any of Retailer’s Affiliates fail to pay any monies due to a Supplier, then upon receipt of notice from UWG, Retailer shall immediately pay such amount due. Retailer hereby agrees that a breach of this Supply Agreement by any of Retailer’s Affiliates shall be considered a breach by Retailer.
1.3 As Retailer or its Affiliates open new retail grocery markets or as Retailer acquires new Affiliates engaged in the retail distribution of grocery products, the parties hereto hereby agree that such new retail grocery markets and new Affiliates of Retailer shall automatically be covered by the obligations contained in this Supply Agreement. Retailer shall promptly notify UWG of all such new retail grocery markets and new Affiliates, and of all changes in the retail grocery market and Affiliates list on Schedule 1.1. UWG shall have the option at any time, upon notice to Retailer, of (i) requiring the Affiliates to execute a joinder to this Agreement, or (ii) excluding (temporarily or permanently) any Affiliate of Retailer or any particular retail grocery market from being covered by this Supply Agreement. If UWG excludes an Affiliate of Retailer or any particular retail grocery market from coverage by this Supply Agreement, then this Supply Agreement shall continue in effect as to the Retailer and all of its other Affiliates and all of their other retail grocery markets which have not been specifically excluded by UWG.
1.4 Provided that Retailer (i) is not in breach of this Supply Agreement and (ii) is in full compliance with the Standard Terms, then the Merchandise being purchased by Retailer from Supplier will be purchased by Retailer, and sold by Supplier, pursuant to the then current Standard Terms. Retailer hereby agrees to comply with the then current Standard Terms, which shall contain the prices for the Merchandise to be purchased from Suppliers by Retailer pursuant to this Supply Agreement, the service and delivery fees applicable to such Merchandise purchases which are payable by Retailer and other terms (including terms of payment) applicable to such sales of Merchandise. Supplier reserves the right to change the Standard Terms from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon notice to Retailer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Retailer’s acceptance of any Merchandise, Retailer shall be deemed to have accepted Supplier’s then current Standard Terms with regard to such Merchandise even if notice has not been given of changes thereto. Supplier’s individual sales prices for food products or nonfood items will change from time to time, and no advance notice to Retailer need be given of such changes.
1.5 Each Purchaser hereby agrees that (i) Supplier shall have no obligation to sell to Retailer any food products or nonfood items which are not stocked
-2-
by Supplier, (ii) Supplier may, at any time and in its sole discretion, discontinue the stocking of any items, types or categories of food products or nonfood items, and (iii) Supplier may, at any time and in its sole discretion, impose quantity or other limitations, restrictions or requirements on, or in connection with, the food products or nonfood items being sold to Retailer.
1.6 Retailer shall place its purchase orders for Merchandise in accordance with Supplier’s instructions which may be specified to Retailer from time to time. All orders shall be subject to Supplier’s approval and acceptance.
1.7 If Retailer has failed to pay any Supplier, when due, for Merchandise previously shipped, then all Suppliers may, in their sole discretion, delay shipment of any or all other purchase orders of Retailer or cancel any or all out-standing purchase orders of Retailer.
2. Purchasing Covenants.
2.1 Minimum Percentage. For each calendar quarter throughout the Term, Retailer and each of Retailer’s Affiliates shall purchase Merchandise in the Product Categories, the total aggregate price of which after taking into account any discounts and allowances shall be equal in amount to not less than 55% of Retailer’s gross aggregate cost of sales during such quarter of all Merchandise in all stores owned or operated by Retailer and its Affiliates during such quarter.
2.2 Minimum Annual Purchases. For each calendar year throughout the Term, Retailer, together with its Affiliates, shall purchase Merchandise in the Product Categories from Supplier equal to at least $125,000,000.
INITIALS: (Retailer) (UWG)
3. Additional Covenants.
3.1 UWG Preference. Retailer agrees that if Retailer or any of Retailer’s Affiliates shall contemplate any Change in any source of supply for any Merchandise not purchased from UWG or its Affiliates then Retailer shall: (a) give UWG as much advance written notice as is practicable under the circumstances, but in no event less than thirty (30) days, to specify the categories and quantities of Merchandise involved and other relevant information with respect to the proposed Change; (b) before committing to a source of supply, permit UWG to present to Retailer terms and conditions under which UWG would be willing to supply the involved Merchandise to Retailer; and (c) purchase such involved Merchandise from UWG unless Retailer establishes that the overall and aggregate material terms and conditions of purchasing such Merchandise from UWG (based upon price, quality and service overall and in the aggregate as offered by UWG and its Affiliates) are not
-3-
generally competitive to the overall and aggregate material terms and conditions offered by another prospective supplier proposed to be selected by Retailer. As used herein, “Change” shall mean any commitment of any type, whether written or oral, and any renewal, modification or extension of any agreements to purchase merchandise, by and between Retailer and any supplier other than UWG involving aggregate purchases by Retailer of products in excess of $500,000 in any twelve (12) month period. Without any way modifying the obligations set forth in this Paragraph, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this Supply Agreement, Retailer shall provide UWG with a listing of any agreements to purchase products or Merchandise between Retailer and any supplier other than UWG in effect as of the effective date of this Supply Agreement.
3.2 Additional Products. With respect to Merchandise currently not offered by UWG or its Affiliates (collectively, “Additional Products”), Retailer shall initially be free to purchase such Additional Products from whatever source it deems appropriate; provided that UWG and Retailer agree to cooperate in mutual good faith to encourage Retailer and each of Retailer’s Affiliates to purchase Additional Products from UWG or its Affiliates when UWG or its Affiliates is able to supply the Additional Products to Retailer so long as the overall and aggregate material terms and conditions of purchasing Additional Products from UWG or its Affiliates (based upon price, quality and service overall and in the aggregate) are general competitive with the overall and aggregate material terms and conditions offered by other similar full-line wholesale grocery suppliers serving Retailer’s geographical area for similar goods, merchandise and services. The term “generally competitive” is intended to mean as to price that, on the average and in the aggregate, and taking into account the totality of the financial accommodations and contractual relationships between UWG and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Retailer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, the prices for merchandise or Additional Products are generally the same, although there may be some prices for individual merchandise products or individual Additional Products which are higher than prices for such individual products charged by other suppliers.
3.3 Trademarks and Tradenames. Retailer hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each of Retailer’s Affiliates, that (i) nothing in this Supply Agreement shall give Retailer any right, title or interest in any trademarks, service marks, or trade secrets of UWG, its Affiliates, or any Supplier, (ii) Retailer shall not apply for or obtain a registration for any trademark or service xxxx of UWG, its Affiliates, any Supplier, or any similar xxxx thereto, (iii) Retailer shall not use the corporate name, trade name, trademark or service xxxx of UWG, its Affiliates, or any Supplier, or any confusingly similar name or xxxx, without the prior written consent (on a case-by-case basis) of UWG, its Affiliates or a Supplier, as the case may be, (iv) all usage by Retailer, once approved by UWG, its Affiliates, or a Supplier, as the case may be, of any name, trademark or service xxxx shall, at all times, be of the highest quality and standards in order to maintain the good name and reputation of UWG, its Affiliates,
-4-
any Supplier, and such name and marks, and not to confuse, mislead or deceive the public, (v) upon expiration or termination of this Supply Agreement, Retailer shall cease all usage of any name or xxxx of UWG, its Affiliates, and any Supplier, and (vi) the obligations of this Section 3.3 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Supply Agreement.
4. Term and Termination.
4.1 Term. This Supply Agreement shall become effective as of the date of this Supply Agreement and shall continue in effect until the latter of (i) the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) the date on which all Financing Obligations are no longer outstanding (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 4.2.
4.2 Termination. If not sooner terminated, this Supply Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(a) In the event either party hereto breaches or otherwise fails to perform any part of this Supply Agreement (other than a payment breach), then the party hereto not in breach shall notify (in writing) the party in breach and demand that such breach or such failure to perform be corrected within a stipulated period, which period shall not be less than thirty (30) days following notification. If the party in breach fails to correct the breach within the period stated in the written notice of demand for correction, the other party may, in its sole discretion, immediately terminate this Supply Agreement by giving the party in breach written notice of termination; provided, however, that if such breach cannot reasonably be corrected within the period stated in the written notice of demand for correction, the other party shall not have the right to immediately terminate the Supply Agreement until such breach could be reasonably corrected so long as the party in breach has undertaken reasonable action to correct such breach and is continuing to diligently pursue such corrective action.
(b) UWG may terminate this Supply Agreement in the event Retailer shall: (i) file, or have filed against it, a petition to declare it insolvent or bankrupt, (ii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iii) be dissolved or liquidated, (iv) cease to conduct business, (v) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or liquidator, or (vi) fail to pay its debts and obligations as they mature in accordance with normal business practices.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a) hereof, UWG may terminate this Supply Agreement upon written notice to Retailer at any time upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following: (i) Retailer’s failure
-5-
to pay when due any invoice due Supplier; (ii) Retailer’s failure to fulfill the purchasing covenants in Section 2 of this Agreement, (iii) Retailer’s or any of its Affiliate’s payment default under any financing agreement, including but not limited to any promissory note, guaranty, lease, sublease or security agreement, in connection with any equity investment, loan of money, lease or financial support transaction between UWG or its Affiliates and Retailer or its Affiliates, (iv) Retailer ceases to be a member-patron of UWG in good standing, (v) Retailer’s sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or (vi) a Change in Control of Retailer.
5. Record Keeping and Reporting Requirements.
5.1 Records and Accounts. Retailer shall maintain at its principal place of business accurate records as shall be necessary to verify Retailer’s compliance with this Supply Agreement. Within a reasonable time period after UWG’s request, Retailer shall complete such reports and supply such information as may be reasonably requested by UWG or any of its Affiliates to verify compliance with, or facilitate performance under, this Supply Agreement.
5.2 Inspection. From time to time, upon reasonable notice during ordinary business hours, Retailer shall permit UWG, through UWG’s own officers or employees or through a firm of public accountants selected by UWG, to inspect the records described in Section 5.1 and to take copies thereof.
5.3 Reporting Requirements. Within forty-five (45) days and ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal quarter and each fiscal year end, respectively, of Retailer, Retailer shall deliver to UWG a calculation reflecting whether Retailer has complied with its Purchase obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
6. Remedies.
6.1 Remedies for Breach by Retailer. Retailer acknowledges that UWG’s business is a cooperative business dependent upon the collective purchasing power of its member-patrons for efficient operation and that UWG and its member-patrons would be irreparably damaged in amounts difficult to ascertain by any breach of this Supply Agreement by Retailer. Accordingly, Retailer agrees that, in addition to any other remedy available under applicable laws, UWG shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of this Supply Agreement in the event of a material breach of this Supply Agreement by Retailer. In the event either party elects to terminate this Supply Agreement by reason of a breach of this Supply Agreement by the other, such election to terminate shall not constitute an election of remedies and the nondefaulting party shall be entitled to pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity, including but not limited to injunctive relief, without bond, security, or proof of actual damages.
-6-
6.2 Break-up Fee. In recognition of the value associated with this Supply Agreement, Retailer hereby agrees that in the event that this Supply Agreement is breached in any material respect by Retailer or in the event that this Supply Agreement is terminated at any time before the expiration of its Term for any reason other than a breach by UWG of its obligations under this Supply Agreement (a “Break-Up Event”), then UWG shall be entitled to a break-up fee equal to the product of (i) Retailer’s (together with Retailer’s Affiliates) average weekly purchases from Supplier for the one year period prior to the Break-Up Event (or the period since the Effective Date if the Break-Up Event occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date) multiplied by 1% and (ii) the number of delivery weeks remaining until the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. The foregoing payment shall be due and payable on the effective date of Break-Up Event and if not paid shall accrue interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the due date until the amount is paid in full by Retailer. The parties hereto have considered this issue and agree that actual damages would be extremely difficult and impracticable to determine in such event, that this solution represents a reasonable estimate of such damages, and, therefore, hereby adopt this provision as a liquidated damages provision.

6.3 Obligations Existing at Termination. Expiration or termination of this Supply Agreement shall not release either party to this Supply Agreement from any liability or obligation which at the time of expiration or termination is already accrued to the other party or which thereafter may accrue with respect to an act or omission arising either prior to such expiration or termination or after such expiration or termination when there is a continuing obligation.
7. Force Majeure. Anything to the contrary in this Supply Agreement notwithstanding, neither party to this Supply Agreement shall be liable to the other party for any loss, injury, delay, damages, or other casualty suffered or incurred by such other party due to riots, storms, fires, earthquakes, explosions, embargoes, directives of any governmental agency, any other law or regulation, litigation or labor dispute, acts of God, war, shortage of supply, or any other cause that is beyond the reasonable control of either party to this Supply Agreement. Any failure or delay by either party hereto in performance of any of its obligations under this Supply Agreement due to one or more of the foregoing causes shall not be considered as a breach of this Supply Agreement.
8. Miscellaneous
8.1 Cooperation. Each of the parties hereto shall use such party’s reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, to execute such documents, to cooperate with the other party hereto with respect to all actions, and to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable, in each case to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Supply Agreement.
