Scope and Order Placement These terms may be used by Customer either for a single Order or as a framework for multiple Orders. In addition, these terms may be used on a global basis by the parties’ “Affiliates”, meaning any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with a party. The parties can confirm their agreement to these terms either by signature where indicated at the end or by referencing these terms on Orders. Affiliates participate under these terms by placing orders which specify product or service delivery in the same country as the HP Affiliate accepting the Order, referencing these terms, and specifying any additional terms or amendments to reflect local law or business practices.
Forecasts and Orders 2.2.1 On the Effective Date of this Agreement, PURCHASER shall give SELLER written notice of the quantity of Martek Product which PURCHASER estimates in good faith that it will order or direct the Designee(s) to order from SELLER during the remainder of the current calendar year (the “Initial Annual Forecast”). Not later than November 30 of each calendar year during the Term of this Agreement, PURCHASER shall give SELLER written notice of the quantity of Martek Product which PURCHASER estimates in good faith that it will order or direct the Designee(s) to order from SELLER during the next subsequent calendar year (each, an “Annual Forecast”). The Annual Forecast shall be used to establish the per unit and per kilogram pricing for the Martek Products purchased during the relevant calendar year in accordance with Section 2.3.1 and Exhibit A attached hereto; provided that, for the remainder of calendar year 2006, the per kilogram pricing to be used, subject to the year-end adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3.1, shall be * per kilogram, notwithstanding the Initial Annual Forecast. In addition to the foregoing, one (1) month before the commencement of each calendar quarter during the Term of this Agreement, PURCHASER shall provide SELLER with a forecast (a “Rolling Forecast”) of PURCHASER’s requirements for the Martek Product for each of the succeeding four (4) quarters, specifying quantities and requested delivery dates. These forecasts will be PURCHASER’s good-faith, best estimate of requirements and should not be considered a firm commitment.
2.2.2 PURCHASER expressly acknowledges that available supplies of the Martek Product have been in the past, and, may from time to time in the future, be insufficient to meet current demand. Nevertheless, SELLER shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have available for shipment to PURCHASER or to a Designee for PURCHASER’s account such quantities of the Martek Product as PURCHASER forecasts in good faith pursuant to Section 2.2.1 above and any additional quantities which PURCHASER may reasonably request. In case for any reason SELLER cannot or does not supply such quantities of the Martek Products as are forecasted in good faith by PURCHASER pursuant to Section 2.2.1 to PURCHASER, PURCHASER shall be allowed to use an alternative supplier for quantities of Omega-3 and Omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids equal to those quantities of Martek Products that were ordered by PURCHASER pursuant to a Purchase Order and not delivered by SELLER.
2.2.3 PURCHASER shall issue and/or shall direct the Designee(s) to issue formal purchase orders (“Purchase Orders”) at least sixty (60) but no more than ninety (90) days in advance of the date on which PURCHASER or the Designee requests that SELLER ship the Martek Product. SELLER shall accept or reject any such Purchase Order within five (5) business days of receipt, provided that SELLER shall not reject any Purchase Order for any quantities within the most recent forecast.
2.2.4 Purchase Orders which have been accepted by SELLER shall be considered as firm and binding orders (subject to the provisions of Section 2.2.2 above) and shall only be canceled or amended by mutual written agreement of the parties. * CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

All shipment expenses from DISTRIBUTOR’s distribution center to the Operator’s location shall be at DISTRIBUTOR’s expense unless otherwise noted elsewhere in this Agreement. Product order guides will be provided by DISTRIBUTOR to the Operators monthly via DISTRIBUTOR’s website and with a hard copy delivered to each Store, with availability of such order guides to be made prior to the beginning of the month, but only after review and approval of the order guide by COMPANY. The order guides will be organized by Product categories and will include, among other things, the Product Sell Price (as defined herein), Product units and new Products. DISTRIBUTOR will assign one product code number to each stock-keeping unit (“SKU”) of each Product, which will be common throughout its entire distribution system and will be used on all documents such as order guides, invoices, monthly reports, etc. SKU’s, and, accordingly, the assigned product code number, must differ for equivalent Products supplied by different suppliers. Only Products approved for sale to its Operators by the COMPANY will be listed on this order guide. Electronic Orders will be placed via telephone modem or internet using DISTRIBUTOR’s automated order entry system. All orders are subject to the standard order cut-off time of 4:00 p.m. two (2) days prior to their scheduled delivery day. Operators will be notified prior to the time of final order cut-off if a product is expected to be out of stock so that an alternative may be ordered, subject to the provisions of Section 3.02. Operators will have until 5:00 p.m, one (1) day before their order shipping day to modify or add-on to their order (Friday at 5:00 p.m. for Stores whose deliveries will leave DISTRIBUTOR’s facility on Monday). Where reasonably possible, DISTRIBUTOR will schedule ordering days and delivery days that are mutually agreed upon by and between DISTRIBUTOR and each Operator and will provide notice to the affected Operator of at least fourteen (14) days before routing changes. Wherever reasonably possible, DISTRIBUTOR will include no more than three (3) “skip days” between the date of order and date of delivery. For example, orders scheduled for delivery on Friday will be placed no earlier than Monday. Orders scheduled for delivery on Tuesday will be placed on Friday. In the event DISTRIBUTOR must include more than four (4) “skip days” between the date of order and date of delivery it will notify COMPANY in advance. In no event will there ever be more than four (4) “skip days” permitted without the prior written approval of COMPANY. DISTRIBUTOR may schedule deliveries on any day of the week. On an exception basis, DISTRIBUTOR will consider shortening the permissible time frames for scheduled deliveries for those Operators that, given unique and compelling business needs, require the same. Operator will be notified of any Product shortages at the time of order placement or, in the case of an Electronic Order, one (1) day prior to the loading of the delivery truck.
