Exhibit 10.1

THE FRESH MARKET, INC.

SUPPLY AND SERVICE AGREEMENT

This Supply and Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 26th day of January, 2007 by and between The Fresh Market, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, with its corporate office located at 628 Green Valley Road, Suite 500, Greensboro, North Carolina (referred to herein along with its successors and assigns as “TFM”), and Burns Logistics, a Delaware corporation, with its corporate office located at 501 S.E. 5th Street, Milford, Delaware (referred to herein along with its authorized assigns as “Burris”).

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for five (5) years commencing as of the date of the first delivery. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for one hundred eighty (180) day periods, unless either party provides written notice to the other of non-renewal at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the last day of the then current term.

 

2. Product Supply, Facilities and Distribution Services.

 

  a. Burris shall supply Products listed in Exhibit A to all TFM Stores as required by TFM (which current TFM Stores are listed in Exhibit D), and Burris shall meet all Specifications set forth in Exhibit A with respect to such Products. Without limiting Burris’ other obligations under this Agreement, all Products provided by Burris shall also comply with Section 9 of this Agreement.

 

  b. At its sole cost and expense, Burris shall maintain, operate, and provide in accordance with all local, county, state, and federal laws the Facility.

 

  c. Burris shall deliver all Products pursuant to an Order and Delivery Schedule developed by Burris, which schedule shall be subject to TFM’s written approval. Burris shall provide adequate trucks and refrigerated/frozen trailers to deliver Products to TFM Stores three (3) times per week (and more often if requested by TFM from time to time during Holiday Periods and/or for TFM Stores accepting two thousand (2,000) or more cases per week). Timing is of the essence with respect to the number of deliveries made per week; provided, however, TFM’s right to terminate this Agreement for a violation of this Section 2(c) shall be governed by Section 14(a)(i). In addition to TFM’s other available rights and remedies, if a Missed Delivery occurs more than [***] times in any consecutive [***] month period, Burris shall pay to TFM on demand [***] as liquidated damages for each Missed Delivery that occurs thereafter during such [***] month period. Burris’ first delivery of Products to TFM shall be no later than February 7, 2007.

 

  d. Exhibit A shall be deemed modified, from time to time, to include new Product lines and accompanying Specifications as directed by TFM in writing and/or to discontinue Product lines and accompanying Specifications as directed by TFM in writing.

 

  e. Exhibit D shall be deemed modified, from time to time, to include future TFM Stores and/or to delete TFM Stores.

 

3. Price/Promotion. This Section 3 addresses Case Upcharge (Section 3(a)), Inbound Product Case Cost (Section 3(b)), profit sharing and supplementation (Section 3(c)), and reconciliation (Section 3(d)):

 

 

Portions marked [***] have been omitted pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Request by The Fresh Market, Inc., this information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

1


  a. Case Upcharge. Subject to reconciliation as set forth below, TFM shall pay Burris a Case Upcharge to be determined using the Estimated Case Volume for Product delivered to and accepted by TFM in accordance with this Agreement.

 

  b. Inbound Product Case Cost. Subject to reconciliation as set forth below, TFM shall reimburse Burris the Inbound Product Case Cost for Product delivered to and accepted by TFM in accordance with this Agreement.

 

  c. Profit Sharing and Supplementation.

 

  (i) Burris shall pay TFM any Adjustment Amount at the end of each Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year). TFM, at its option, shall either be credited with the Adjustment Amount (which amount TFM may offset against any other sums owed) or reimbursed the same within five (5) business days of final determination of the Adjustment Amount.

 

  (ii) TFM shall pay to Burris any Below Threshold Fee at the end of each Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years).

 

  d. Reconciliation.

 

  (i) Case Upcharge. Case Upcharge shall be reconciled semi-annually. In the event the semi-annual reconciliation, including the Fuel Cost Adjustment, shows that the Actual Case Volume during such Semi-Annual Period (or Partial Semi-Annual Period) was more than the Estimated Case Volume for such period (and that the Case Upcharge charged during such period should have been less than actually charged), TFM shall either be credited with the amount of its total Case Upcharge overpayment (which amount TFM may offset against any other sums owed) or reimbursed the same within five (5) business days of TFM’s receipt of the Reconciliation Statement. In the event the semi-annual reconciliation shows that the Actual Case Volume during such Semi-Annual Period was less than the Estimated Case Volume for such period (and that the Case Upcharge charged during such period should have been more than actually charged), TFM shall pay to Burris the total Case Upcharge underpayment for such semi-annual period (less amounts disputed in good faith by TFM) within five (5) business days of TFM’s receipt of the Reconciliation Statement.

 

  (ii) Inbound Product Case Cost. Inbound Product Case Cost shall be reconciled semi-annually. In the event the semi-annual reconciliation shows a difference in the Inbound Product Case Cost and amounts paid by TFM towards Inbound Product Case Cost during such period due to timing of Product cost changes (also known to Burris as a marketing adjustment), reimbursements shall be made as follows: (a) when the marketing adjustment is positive (i.e., when amounts paid by TFM exceed the reconciled Inbound Product Case Cost), TFM shall either be credited with the amount of its Inbound Product Case Cost overpayment (which amount TFM may offset against any other sums owed) or reimbursed the same within five (5) business days of TFM’s receipt of the Reconciliation Statement, and (b) when the marketing adjustment is negative (i.e., when amounts paid by TFM are less than the reconciled Inbound Product Case cost), TFM shall reimburse Burris the difference within five (5) business days after receipt of the Reconciliation Statement.

  (iii) Profit Sharing and Supplementation. The following shall be reconciled at the end of each Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year):

 

  (a) Profit Sharing. Burris shall pay to TFM the Adjustment Amount at the end of each Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year). TFM, at its option, shall either be credited with the Adjustment Amount (which amount TFM may offset against any other sums owed) or reimbursed the same within five (5) business days of final determination of the Adjustment Amount.

 

  (b) Supplementation. Although this is not a requirements contract, TFM currently anticipates that it will order a minimum of [***]. Upon receipt of the final Reconciliation Statement for each Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years), the parties will determine TFM’s Actual Case Volume for that Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years). If TFM does not achieve the Threshold Volume for that Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years), TFM shall pay to Burris the Below Threshold Fee. If TFM does achieve the Threshold Volume for that Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years), TFM shall have no further financial obligation to Burris for that Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year).

 

  (iv) Burris shall provide to TFM Reconciliation Statements within thirty (30) days after the end of each Semi-Annual Period. In the event Burris fails to provide TFM Reconciliation Statements or reimbursements accurately and on a timely basis as provided above, in addition to TFM’s other available rights and remedies, TFM may offset and/or deduct, by TFM’s estimate, any reimbursements due to TFM from subsequent payments to Burris.

 

  e. Other Price Matters.

 

  (i) [***].

 

  (ii) Product prices shall be set monthly in accordance with TFM’s fiscal calendar. Any supplier’s or vendor’s Product price changes shall be communicated to TFM in writing or electronically (by electronic price file) at least fourteen (14) days prior to the effective start date of TFM’s monthly order guides of Burris Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, meat and seafood prices shall be set weekly to incorporate changes in commodity prices. All price changes shall take effect Sundays at 12:01 AM.

 

  (iii) [***]. Burris shall not be required to seek or accept Cross Dock pallets or cases if such services would unreasonably Impede the performance of its services hereunder.

4. Acceptance/Rejection. All deliveries of Products by Burris are subject to TFM’s acceptance of such Products. TFM may reject Products if TFM did not order the Products delivered or if the Products delivered are not in compliance with this Agreement. TFM shall report any product overs, shorts and visible external damage to Burris at the time of delivery while Burris’ delivery driver is at the TFM Store. TFM shall report rejections due to mispicks, internal damage, and the delivery of Products which do not otherwise meet TFM specifications on or before 5:00 P.M. on the first business day following the delivery of such Products. TFM shall report rejections, shortages, and any other Product complaints by contacting Burris Customer Service at 888-287-7473 ((888) Burris3) (or by such other commercially reasonable means as may be available if TFM cannot reach Burris Customer Service within the time period specified). If TFM rejects such Products (in whole or in part), Burris shall (i) retrieve the rejected Products within two (2) days of TFM’s rejection of such Products and (ii) at TFM’s option, either (a) replace such rejected Products at the time of Burris’ next delivery to the TFM Store to which such rejected Products were delivered, or (b) provide a credit to such TFM Store for the rejected Products within two (2) days from the date TFM’s rejection was communicated to Burris.

 

5. Quality Control. All Products shall be handled in accordance with the Specifications while such Products are in the possession of Burris. Upon receipt by Burris and while in the possession of Burris, Burris shall regularly inspect Product dates and the quality and integrity of such Products for conformance to TFM’s Specifications. Burris, at its sole cost and expense, shall designate a quality assurance representative at the Facility to (i) ensure adherence to all such Specifications and quality requirements and (ii) provide any reports or documents reasonably necessary to detail the same. If any inspection or test performed hereunder indicates a failure to conform to the Specifications or any other quality requirements, Burris shall promptly advise TFM, and Burris shall not deliver Products from such shipments without the express written consent of TFM, which consent may be granted or withheld in TFM’s sole discretion.

 

6.

Payment Terms. Burris shall deliver to TFM on or before 10:00 A.M. on the first (1st) business day of each week a statement detailing charges for Products delivered during the immediately preceding week (“Weekly Invoice”), time being of the essence. TFM shall pay by wire transfer to Burris [***] of the invoiced amount due (less amounts disputed in good faith by TFM) on or before [***] following TFM’s receipt of the Weekly Invoice (“First Payment”). TFM shall pay by wire transfer to Burris the remaining invoiced amount due (less amounts disputed in good faith by TFM) on or before [***] after the date of the First Payment. Any disputes as to invoiced amounts due shall be promptly discussed by applicable representatives of the parties and, if not promptly resolved, shall be subject to Section 15 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TFM shall not be required to pay any statements delivered more than sixty (60) days after the due date for delivery of the statement.

  c. Upon TFM’s request, Burris shall provide business reports, in form reasonably acceptable to TFM, that measure Burris’ satisfaction of its Obligations and any other information that may be useful to measure Burris’ distribution performance related to TFM.

 

  d. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Burris shall bear the risk of reselling any Products stocked for distribution for TFM and TFM will work with Burris in good faith to minimize losses from spoilage and excess inventory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TFM shall accept delivery of all Products complying with the terms of this Agreement if TFM requests in writing that Burris order a specific quantity of a Product which is more than that which Burris should reasonably carry in inventory for distribution to TFM (“Additional Products”), and Burris shall order the Additional Products in the quantity requested by TFM. If such Additional Product is ordered for the sole benefit of TFM (and not as part of a mutually beneficial transaction), [***]. TFM shall not bear the risk of resale of such Additional Product if Burris fails to make delivery of such Additional Product or otherwise fails to make such Additional Product available for delivery. TFM shall notify Burris upon discontinuance of a Product and TFM shall accept delivery of all discontinued Products held by Burris in inventory for TFM that comply with the terms of this Agreement, provided that such Products are made available for delivery within a commercially reasonable time after notice of such discontinuance.

 

  e. Burris shall assist TFM with the administrative process of Product billback for future TFM store openings and help collect funds from such billbacks (“Billback Amount”) from invoice deductions upon TFM’s request. TFM shall provide a list of all vendors and suppliers who participate in this billback program and the Product level support associated with each vendor and supplier. Burris shall pay TFM all Billback Amounts upon Burris’ receipt of the same from participating vendors and suppliers (and all such Billback Amounts shall accrue solely to the benefit of TFM). [***].

 

8. Trademarks and Exclusivity. Burris shall not use, authorize, or permit the use of any TFM Marks as part of its firm, corporate, or business name or otherwise. Burris shall not contest the right of TFM’s exclusive use of any TFM Marks. Any Product carrying TFM Marks shall not be sold to any other party without the express written consent of TFM, which consent may be granted, withdrawn or withheld in TFM’s sole discretion. Additionally, except for Specialty Food Products Burris distributes to other retailers as of the date of this Agreement, Burris shall not sell to any other retailer any Specialty Food Product sourced exclusively for TFM (which does not contain TFM Marks) unless Burris receives the express prior written consent of TFM, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

 

9. Product Warranties and Representations.

 

  a. Burris hereby warrants and represents the following:

  i. As of the date of delivery, Burris shall have all right, title, and interest in and to the Products and all rights necessary to transfer such rights and title to TFM free of any lien, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance; and

 

  ii. All Products delivered hereunder shall comply with all requirements of this Agreement.

 

  b. Except for the covenants, warranties and representations of Burris expressly set forth in this Agreement, Burris makes no warranties or representations as to the Products including their merchantability or fitness for a particular use.

 

10. Indemnification.

 

  a. Burris shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless TFM, its shareholders, parents, subsidiaries and affiliated companies as well as TFM’s and TFM’s parents’, subsidiaries’, and affiliated companies’ shareholders, officers, directors, partners, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, demands, actions, proceedings, lawsuits, fees, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered by any such Indemnified Parties as a result of Burris’ breach of its covenants and/or warranties and representations under this Agreement. In the event that Burris or its agents, employees or subcontractors enter premises occupied or under the control of TFM or any other Indemnified Parties in the performance of Burris’ obligations under this Agreement, Burris will defend, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, demands, actions, proceedings, lawsuits, fees, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered by any such Indemnified Parties on account of loss, cost or damage to property or injury to person (including death) arising out of, as a result of, or in connection with such entry or performance by Burris, its employees, agents or subcontractors unless such loss, cost or damage to property or injury to person (including death) is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Burris’ compliance with Section 11 of this Agreement does not relieve it from liability under this Section 10.

 

  b. Without limiting the parties’ other rights and remedies, in the event purchasers of Products from TFM claim such Products are defective and it is determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order (i) that such Products are indeed defective and (ii) that such defects arose solely through the negligent acts or omissions of either party hereto, such negligent party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any reasonable attorneys’ fees such other party incurred in defending such action.

 

11. Insurance. Burris shall carry, at Burris’ sole cost and expense, the following types of insurance with an insurance company or companies qualified to transact business in the states in which services and the Products are provided to TFM:

  c. Business auto liability insurance (including owned, leased, and non-owned vehicles) for all vehicles of Burris, or vehicles used by Burris in connection with the performance of the delivery of the Products and/or any other services provided herein, that enter upon property under the control of TFM stipulating limits of liability of not less than [***] combined single limit for bodily injury, personal injury (no fault-if required by law), and property damage; and

 

  d. Excess liability coverage applying on a “following form” basis in excess of the commercial general liability, employer’s liability, and business auto liability policies referenced above, with limits of not less than [***] when combined with the underlying coverages, and naming TFM as an additional insured under said policy. This policy shall be endorsed to be primary and non-contributory, rather than excess, with respect to its additional insured status.

 

     Upon commencement of this Agreement, a certificate of each type of insurance coverage listed above providing at least thirty (30) days’ notice to TFM prior to cancellation or termination shall be furnished to TFM. Such insurance must be issued by a company having a Best rating of at least A- by Best’s Insurance Reports or the then prevailing insurance rating bureau. Burris shall provide TFM with copies of the certificates of such coverage upon renewal and upon request from time to time.

 

12. Force Majeure. Each party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be tolled only for delays caused by fire, war, riots or civil commotion, epidemics, authority of law, strikes (but only so long as such party is negotiating in good faith for a prompt resolution), lock-outs (but only so long as such party is negotiating in good faith for a prompt resolution), acts of God or other non-monetary matters beyond the reasonable control of such party, including, without limitation, the failure of vendors to provide the Products properly ordered by Burris pursuant to TFM’s requests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the period of tolling under this Section 12 shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the time of delay caused by the tolling event or (b) five (5) days.

 

13. Confidentiality. Each party shall hold in strict confidence and not use or disclose the other party’s Confidential Information except upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may be granted or withheld in the other party’s sole discretion. Upon termination of this Agreement, the parties shall either destroy or return all of the Confidential Information received from the other party during the term of this Agreement. The parties’ obligations under this Section 13 shall survive for two (2) years from the date of any termination of this Agreement.

 

14. Termination.

 

  a. Termination for Cause.

 

  i.

In addition to, and without limiting TFM’s other rights and remedies, if, after the first (1st) [***] of the commencement of this Agreement, a Missed Delivery occurs (a) more than [***] times in one (1) month or (b) more than [***] times in six (6) consecutive months, TFM may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Burris.

 

  ii.

In addition to, and without limiting TFM’s other rights and remedies, if Burris fails to fulfill section (i) of its Obligations (set forth in Exhibit C)

 

 

Portions marked [***] have been omitted pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Request by The Fresh Market, Inc., this information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

7


  more than [***] times during any thirteen consecutive weeks, or section (ii) of its Obligations (set forth in Exhibit C) more than [***] times during any thirteen consecutive weeks, TFM may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Burris.

 

  iii. In addition to, and without limiting TFM’s other rights and remedies, if Burris fails to fulfill section (viii) under “Obligations” in Exhibit C of this Agreement, TFM may terminate this Agreement in the event Burris fails to cure such breach within seven (7) days after TFM provides Burris with written notice of such breach.

 

  iv. In addition to, and without limiting TFM’s other rights and remedies, if Burris fails to perform any of its other Obligations under this Agreement, TFM may terminate this Agreement in the event Burris fails to cure such breach within twenty-one (21) days after TFM provides Burris with written notice of such breach.

 

  v. If TFM fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Burris may terminate this Agreement in the event TFM fails to cure such breach within twenty-one (21) days after Burris provides TFM with written notice of such breach. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event TFM fails to make a payment as required under Section 6 of this Agreement and TFM fails to cure such failure within seven (7) days after Burris provides TFM with written notice of such failure, Burris may suspend performance of its Obligations until receipt of the payment due.

 

  b. Termination Without Cause.

 

       If TFM’s Actual Ordered Case Volume for any given Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year) is less than [***], Burris may propose an amendment to the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the final Reconciliation Statement for such Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year); provided, however, if the parties are unable to reasonably agree on such proposed terms in writing within sixty (60) days after TFM’s receipt of the same from Burris (the “Burris Negotiation Period”), Burris may terminate this Agreement by written notice to TFM within seven (7) days after the end of the Burris Negotiation Period, which termination shall be effective on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the date of such written notice. Burris’ failure to provide TFM with such termination notice as provided herein shall result in a continuance of this Agreement without the proposed amended terms, time being of the essence.

 

  c. Payment And Removal After Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason:

 

  i. TFM shall be liable for and promptly pay all undisputed amounts then owing to Burris and shall take delivery of and promptly pay the Inbound Product Case Cost for all TFM Products reasonably ordered and then held in inventory by Burris in accordance with this Agreement (including without limitation the Specifications set forth in Exhibit A); and

 

  ii. Burris shall immediately remove and discontinue use of the TFM Marks in any manner whatsoever and promptly pay all undisputed amounts then owing to TFM.

 

15.

Governing Law. The parties shall attempt in good faith to promptly and amicably resolve any disputes arising out of, or in any way connected with, this Agreement. If such dispute cannot be resolved within a reasonable time through such good faith negotiations between executives of the

  parties (and if appropriate, with their respective counsel), then such dispute shall be settled under the rules of the American Arbitration Association by a single arbitrator. Any award resulting from arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may seek equitable relief (without the benefit of arbitration) when immediate relief is required given the nature of the dispute. The laws of the State of North Carolina shall govern this Agreement and all disputes shall be adjudicated in North Carolina.

 

16. Independent Contractors. The parties acknowledge that Burris is an independent contractor, not an employee of TFM, and TFM shall not be responsible for any salary, benefits, or other employee-related expenses including, without limitation, holidays, sick days, personal days, health insurance, worker’s compensation, etc. with regard to Burris’ employees. Nothing contained herein or inferable herefrom shall be deemed or construed to create any partnership, joint venture, or other business entity between TFM and Burris.

 

17. No Solicitation/No Hire. During the term of this Agreement, and for one (1) year thereafter, both parties agree not to knowingly solicit or to offer employment to any employee of the other party without having obtained the other party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or preclude either party’s right to make generalized searches for employees by use of advertisements in the media or by engaging search firms which are not targeted or focused on employees of the other party. This Section shall not be deemed to prohibit either party’s hiring of any employee of the other party who initially contacts the hiring party without any action by the hiring party or anyone acting on the hiring party’s behalf.

 

18. Assignment. The rights, privileges, and obligations under this Agreement are not assignable by Burris without TFM’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in TFM’s sole discretion. TFM may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Burris if (i) Burris sells substantially all of its assets; (ii) the persons or entities that, on the date of this Agreement, own all of the voting capital stock of Burris cease to own more than fifty percent (50%) of such stock; (iii) Burris participates in a merger, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange or any other business transaction in which, following the merger, less than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of the surviving entity are owned by persons or entities who own a controlling interest in Burris as of the date of this Agreement; (iv) Burris commences the liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of its affairs; and/or (v) Burns discontinues its operations. As used herein, TFM may assign its rights, privileges, and obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of Burris, and such rights, privileges, and obligations shall extend to, bind, and inure to the benefit of TFM’s successors and assigns.

20. Exhibits; Entire Agreement; Amendments. All exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference and the provisions thereof constitute a part of this Agreement. The terms herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all other oral and written representations related thereto. Each party has had the benefit of legal counsel during the negotiations that have resulted in this Agreement. As a consequence of such parity in bargaining power and position, this Agreement shall enjoy a neutral construction and shall not be strictly construed against either party as the scrivener hereof or pursuant to any other legal theory of contract construction. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, unless in writing signed by both parties.

 

21. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or illegal by any court or agency of competent jurisdiction, then that part shall be limited or curtailed to the extent necessary to make such provision valid, and all other remaining terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

22. Counterparts/Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement. The parties agree that the effectiveness of any facsimile documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, be the same as manually-signed originals. Either party may require that any facsimile documents and signatures provided hereunder be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

 

23. Miscellaneous. Whether or not expressly so stated in each of the provisions above, Burris shall perform all of its obligations hereunder at Burris’ sole cost and expense, and TFM’s payment obligations shall only be those expressly set forth in Sections 3 and 6 above. TFM shall use reasonable efforts to provide Burris forecasts of expected spikes in Product volume for purposes of Burris’ transportation planning. This is not an exclusive dealing or requirements contract. TFM is not required to order from Burris any minimum number of cases of Product per Contract Year or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent TFM orders Products listed in Exhibit A (as such Exhibit A may be modified from time to time in accordance with Section 2(d)), TFM will use good faith efforts to order such kinds of Products from Burris and to use Burris as a primary supplier for such kinds of Products.

 

24. Definitions. Defined terms (beginning with capital letters) used herein and not otherwise defined in the body of this Agreement, shall have the meanings given to them in Exhibit C.
