Corporate Account Agreement

Labatt Food Service LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Labatt” or “Labatt Food Service”), and Stripes LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Stripes”), for valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:

Labatt Food Service agrees to sell Products (as defined in “PRICING – Level of Participation,” herein) to Stripes at the respective prices and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Stripes agrees to purchase and pay for such Products in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall commence on January 12, 2011, provided that the pricing provisions set forth herein shall apply retroactively to September 1, 2010, and this Agreement shall continue until December 31, 2013, and shall automatically renew, on a year-to-year basis thereafter, for two additional, successive one-year renewal terms, unless either party gives written notice of termination to the other at least 120 days prior to the expiration of the primary term or any such renewal term (or shall earlier terminate in accordance with the provisions of Article VI, hereof).

For the avoidance of doubt, both parties’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain in effect during the 120-day period between the giving of any such notice and termination. Any obligations of a party to this Agreement arising or accruing prior to the termination of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

I. PRODUCTS AND QUALITY ASSURANCE

A.	Quality Product

Labatt Food Service is committed to nationally-known brand merchandise, which will provide Stripes with verifiable consistency in the quality of Products purchased. Labatt will deliver only those Products specified or approved by Stripes, as provided in “PRICING – Level of Participation” herein.

Labatt hereby represents, warrants and covenants, as to any Products prepared, altered, manufactured or packaged by Labatt or its affiliates and sold to Stripes in accordance with this Agreement (but not as to any Products that are only distributed by Labatt), that:

(i) on the date of delivery, the Products will be in good and merchantable condition and fit for use for the purposes intended and in compliance with the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration’s Good Manufacturing Practices, and any applicable federal, state and local laws including those that govern the manufacture, composition, adulteration, packaging, labeling, sale and security of foods or foodstuffs. This includes compliance with the (a) Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended, including the Food Additives Amendment of 1958 and the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (the “FDA Act”); (b) Federal Fair Packaging and Labeling Act; (c) Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act; (d) Federal Hazardous Substances Act; (e) Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002; (f) the Consumer Products Act, as amended and (g) any regulations promulgated pursuant to the foregoing Acts.

Stripes LLC

(ii) no ingredients will be used in the production of such Products that have been subjected to irradiation processes;

(iii) the Products will not contain ingredients wholly or partially composed of materials produced by genetic modification or recombinant DNA technology or containing materials derived from ingredients thus produced; and

(iv) Labatt (and/or such affiliates) have, and will have at all times relevant hereto, equipment and production capacity necessary to produce the Products in accordance with agreed to Product forecasts and accepted purchase orders.

B.	Proprietary Items

Labatt will warehouse and supply the various items requested by Stripes if there is a projected inventory turn of [***] times per year (an average inventory of [***] weeks). Labatt recommends that proprietary Products be tested against Labatt stocked items/vendors with the goal of reducing the account’s cost. Items not meeting turn criteria set forth by Labatt and, therefore, not carried for Stripes shall not be counted in determining whether the [***]compliance threshold set forth below in Article III is met or satisfied (if Stripes should choose to source those items by other means).

In the event of the termination of this Agreement, all proprietary Products will be picked up at Labatt’s distribution center or delivered to a location designated by Stripes within 30 days after the effective termination date of this Agreement. Proprietary Products picked up from Labatt will be invoiced at Labatt’s then current Cost (as defined herein). Proprietary Products that are delivered to a designated location will be invoiced at Labatt’s current Cost plus actual freight for delivery to such location. Payment is due on delivery. Any such Products will be

Stripes LLC

inventoried and reviewed, promptly and in advance, by Stripes and/or any designated third party and upon delivery be subject to usual and customary review and acceptance for product quality, quantity, and customary product code-dating (60 days or more), except in cases of refrigerated fresh eggs, produce, meat Products and certain other Products that customarily have less than 60-day code-dating.

Labatt understands and agrees that any marks, trademarks, design or trade dress (collectively, “Marks”) specific to any private label or proprietary Products developed by or exclusively for Stripes and produced, manufactured and/or distributed by Labatt shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Stripes. Labatt understands and acknowledges that its manufacture, delivery and/or supply of any such Products shall not be deemed to assign, convey or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ any license or other interest in any ▇▇▇▇(s) (other than the right to manufacture and package Products bearing the ▇▇▇▇(s), in accordance with the terms of a purchase order or requisition request specifying Product design and quantity).

C.	Certain Obsolete Products

In the event that Products purchased specifically for Stripes become obsolete (i.e., a Product not shipped for three (3) months after receipt by Labatt at its distribution center), then Stripes will purchase all of such Products and will advise Labatt of any special disposition.

D.	Product Recall

In the event Labatt receives notice from any manufacturer of any recall, or it is otherwise necessary to recall from the Stripes stores any quantity of the Products sold by Labatt hereunder to comply with any order or directive of any governmental authority or for any reason relating to product quality and/or safety, Labatt agrees to use its reasonable commercial efforts to (i) fully assist Stripes in any measures or procedures necessary to comply with any such order or directive or (ii) otherwise remove the recalled product from the Stripes stores and prevent further deliveries of such Products to Stripes stores, (iii) coordinate the backhaul of such product to the manufacturer, and (iv) assist Stripes in obtaining manufacturer credit for such Products and minimize any associated public health risk.

E.	Product Verification

Stripes shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice and at reasonable times during normal business operations, to (i) inspect Labatt’s facilities and/or warehouses used to store or prepare Products purchased hereunder to ensure compliance with paragraph A, above, and (ii) to periodically verify the preparation or manufacture of any Products prepared by Labatt or its affiliates, including those made in accordance with specifications provided by Stripes, for grade, quality and/or composition.

EXHIBIT A

FUEL SURCHARGE/CREDIT INDEX PROGRAM

Since the cost of fuel is an important variable cost for Labatt, it is agreed that a fuel surcharge program will be implemented in the event reported diesel prices remain above an average level of $[***] per gallon in the prior month. Correspondingly, a fuel credit will be implemented in the event reported diesel prices remain below an average level of $[***] per gallon in the prior month. The procedures to determine the fuel surcharge/fuel credit are as follows:

The Weekly Retail On-Highway price [***] as reported on the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Information Website (EIA) will be used to determine the price per gallon of fuel. The EIA website address is http//:▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

The fuel surcharge/fuel credit amounts applicable to deliveries are as set forth in the table below. The surcharge amount or fuel credit amount, as the case may be, will be adjusted on a monthly basis based on the average fuel price over the four most recent weeks in the prior month. The new surcharge amount or fuel credit amount, as the case may be, will take effect on the first Monday of each month.
