SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLY AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLY AGREEMENT, dated July 1, 2003
(this "Agreement"), is made and entered into by and between SYSCO CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Sysco"), and AIPC SALES CO., a
Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred together as "AIPC").
1. Recitals.
1.1 AIPC currently supplies product to Sysco from its pasta plants in
Excelsior Springs, Missouri, Columbia, South Carolina and Tolleson, Arizona
(together hereinafter referred to as the "Plants") pursuant to the terms of that
certain Amended and Restated Supply Agreement dated October 29, 1992 (the
"Former Agreement") between American Italian Pasta Company ("Parent") and Sysco.
1.2 Sysco currently markets and distributes pasta supplied to it by
AIPC pursuant to the terms of the Former Agreement.
1.3 The Former Agreement was assigned to AIPC pursuant to an Assignment
Agreement dated ________________, 200_, among Parent, AIPC and Sysco.
1.4 Sysco desires to continue to market and distribute pasta supplied
to its operating divisions, subsidiaries and other entities ("Operating
Companies") by AIPC in accordance with the terms hereof and AIPC desires to
continue to supply pasta to Sysco for food service distribution at a price and
in amounts sufficient to insure Sysco a readily available, cost competitive and
high quality source of pasta in accordance with the terms hereof.
1.5 Sysco proposes to continue to make all Sysco brand pasta sales
opportunities available through it to AIPC in accordance with the terms hereof.
1.6 Sysco and AIPC desire to amend and restate the Former Agreement in
its entirety with this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and
agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, AIPC and Sysco agree
as follows:
2. Purchases and Sales of Products.
2.1 Products Purchased. AIPC shall manufacture at the Plants and sell
to Sysco and Sysco shall purchase from AIPC, in such quantities and at such
times as mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, those pasta products set
forth by stock keeping unit ("SKU") on Exhibit 2.1 attached hereto (the
"Products"). The parties hereto may amend Exhibit 2.1 from time to time to add
or delete Products as mutually agreed by them in writing. AIPC shall maintain an
inventory of Products sufficient to assure that Sysco's orders hereunder will be
supplied in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice
under the Former
2
Agreement. AIPC may only reject a purchase order submitted by Sysco if (i) AIPC
does not have sufficient inventory of Products to fulfill such order, (ii) AIPC
does not have the capacity to fulfill such order in accordance with the terms of
such order; and (iii) such purchase order, or combination of such purchase
orders over a thirty (30)-day period, requests the manufacture and delivery of a
substantial increase in the type of Product set forth on such purchase order(s)
over the 30-day average purchase order volume for the previous twelve (12)-month
period. For purposes of this Section 2.1, a substantial increase shall mean an
increase of at least fifteen percent (15%).
2.2 General Pricing Structure. The Former Agreement called for Product
pricing to be the sum of: (i) a compilation of specified costs incurred in the
process of manufacturing and selling Products to Sysco delineated in Paragraphs
(a) through (f) of Section 2.2.1 of the Former Agreement, and (ii) a formula
driven ▇▇▇▇-up to such costs which provided AIPC with a margin from which to
recover its financing and administrative costs and to make a profit.
The parties have rigorously reviewed, and agree to, the compilation of
costs that comprise the components and the prices set forth herein and the price
list included as Exhibit 2-1 hereof. As such, the parties wish to eliminate the
need to regularly and comprehensively compile the components of product cost,
and to replace that with the pricing process stated in this agreement.
Under this Agreement, Sysco will pay a price per Product SKU, based on
agreed upon target values for specified cost components, subject to adjustments
as provided in this Agreement. The parties have established a baseline price
list per Product SKU, included as Exhibit 2.1 hereof (the "Baseline Price
List"), and this Agreement will begin using the Baseline Price List during the
First Measurement Period (defined below).
Sections 2.3 through 2.10 and the related exhibits: (x) define certain
cost components and their supporting cost elements to be measured under this
Agreement, (y) establish baselines for these cost components, and (z) establish
the specific methodology for setting target cost component values, adjusting the
Product price list for changes in the target cost component values, and
measuring variances from the target values.
The specific elements of the cost components addressed in Sections 2.3
through 2.10 below are not meant to be a complete compilation of all costs
incurred by AIPC in the process of manufacturing Products and selling them to
Sysco. For the purpose of simplicity, many cost elements such as scrap, usage
variances, full pallet handling expenses, depreciation, and by-products, have
been excluded from Sections 2.3 through 2.10 and shall not be the basis for any
adjustment in the Product price list, except as expressly provided in this
Section 2.2. Each of the cost components addressed in Sections 2.3 through 2.10
(the "Initial Cost Components") meets more than one of the following criteria:
(a) it represents a material portion of the total product cost, (b) it is
subject to market fluctuations over which neither party has control, (c) it is
directly impacted by Sysco's behavior in placing orders for the Products, and
(d) it can be measured by an objective standard which is agreeable to both
parties. If a cost element is not specifically identified as part of an Initial
Cost Component, AIPC will not have the ability to adjust the selling price of
the Products to reflect any fluctuation in the cost of such cost element
2
unless there is a material fundamental or catastrophic change in the nature of
that cost element relative to the cost elements identified in the Initial Cost
Components from that in effect on the date of this Agreement. In such event, the
parties agree to discuss in good faith appropriate adjustments to the pricing
structure under this Agreement to address such change.
The Initial Cost Components are as follows: [*]
After the end of the First Measurement Period (defined below) the
parties will calculate the actual amount of the Initial Cost Components over the
Measurement Period (the "Actual Component Costs"). To the extent the sum of the
Actual Component Costs for all Products vary from the sum of the corresponding
component costs used to calculate the cost of such Products in the Baseline
Price List, the difference will be computed as a price variance (the
"Variance"), and the party owing the Variance to the other party will pay it
pursuant to Section 2.10. Prior to the expiration of each Measurement Period, as
provided below, the parties will mutually set the target values for the Initial
Cost Components for the next succeeding Measurement Period. To the extent that
the target values are higher or lower than in the current Measurement Period,
they will be applied as Product price adjustments for the next succeeding
Measurement Period, again subject to the end-of-period variance adjustments. In
this manner , one party or the other will pay price variances at the end of each
Measurement Period, and the prices will be set for the next following
Measurement Period.
Product pricing will be based on [*] components as follows. Even though
durum used for both the Excelsior Springs and Columbia plants generally comes
from the same sources, [*] transporting the durum to that Plant. In addition,
Products that are made at one Plant, but which are shipped at Sysco's request to
a second Plant for delivery to Sysco, will contain [*] as a part of their
prices.
[*] are subject to adjustment every six months as described below,
while [*] are subject to adjustment annually as described below. [*] will vary
from the baseline level as a result of cost savings reductions and volume
adjustments.
The following definitions shall apply to this Agreement: "Contract
Year" shall mean the period from January 1 through December 31 each calendar
year, with the proviso that the first Contract Year will run from the date of
this Agreement through December 31, 2003, and the last Contract year will run
from January 1 of the year of termination to the date of termination if the date
of termination is a date other than December 31. "Adjustment Dates" will be
January 1 and July 1 of each year. "Measurement Period" shall mean the six-month
periods following each Adjustment Date. The First Measurement Period shall be
the six-month period ending on December 31, 2003. The first Adjustment Date will
be January 1, 2004.
2.3 Semolina Cost.
(a) For the purpose of this Section 2.3, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:
(i) "Durum Cost" shall mean the cost per bushel for durum as
used to produce Products under this Agreement. "Target Durum
Cost" shall mean the expected Durum Cost agreed
3
to by the parties for the next immediate Measurement Period.
"Actual Durum Cost" shall mean the Durum Cost paid by AIPC
during any Measurement Period.
(ii) "Mill Yield Value" shall mean the percentage of durum
converted to semolina in the milling process. "Target Mill
Yield Value" shall mean the expected Mill Yield Value agreed
to by the parties for the next immediate Measurement Period.
"Actual Mill Yield Value" shall mean the Mill Yield Value
during any Measurement Period.
(iii) "Millfeed Value" shall mean the value of millfeed per pound
produced as a by-product of milling durum into semolina.
"Target Millfeed Value" shall mean the expected Millfeed
Value agreed to by the parties for the next immediate
Measurement Period. "Actual Millfeed Value" shall mean the
Millfeed Value during any Measurement Period.
(b) Exhibit 2.3 sets forth the baseline Semolina cost per pound to be
paid by Sysco during the First Measurement Period. Said exhibit also sets
forth the baseline durum cost, the baseline mill yield values for each
Plant, and the Target Millfeed Value.
(c) At least 45 days prior to each Adjustment Date, the parties will
agree to a Target Durum Cost per bushel, a Target Millfeed Value and a
Target Mill Yield of Semolina to apply to the Excelsior Springs Plant and
the Columbia Plant during the succeeding Measurement Period. [*]
With respect to the Tolleson Plant only, where AIPC purchases semolina
already manufactured by a third party, at least 45 days prior to each
Adjustment Date, the parties will agree to a Target Semolina Cost which
shall be the cost AIPC expects to pay the third party manufacturer during
the succeeding Measurement Period.
(d) Within 30 days following the end of each Measurement Period, AIPC
will calculate for each Plant the Actual Durum Cost per pound (using
[*] pounds per bushel), and the Actual Mill Yield of Semolina, and
[*], will determine the Actual Gross Semolina Cost per pound for the
Plant. The Actual Semolina Cost (per pound) will be derived by [*].
With respect to the Tolleson Plant only, the Semolina Variance shall be
based on [*], provided such actual cost is documented by AIPC.
[*].
(e) The following is an example of the above Semolina Variance
computation for the Excelsior Springs and Columbia Plants:
[*]
4
(f) If the parties agree that in a given Measurement Period AIPC will
obtain durum for use in the Products by entering into specified forward
purchase contracts for durum, at the time of the purchase of such contract
they will agree to the yield expected to be achieved from such durum.
Accordingly, [*]. If the quantity of durum purchased by such
forward-purchase contracts is insufficient to cover the total production
volume of Products during a Measurement Period, the portion of the durum
volume not covered by the forward-purchase contracts will be subject to the
terms of Section 2.3(a) through (d) above.
(g) Subject to a written agreement otherwise, in the event AIPC
implements manufacturing or operating changes that directly result in
increased Semolina cost, then such cost increase will be borne by AIPC if
it initiated the change, or by Sysco if the change was made at the written
request of Sysco. Subject to a written agreement otherwise, if AIPC
implements a manufacturing or operating change that was made at Sysco's
written request, which change directly results in decreased Semolina cost,
then 100% of such cost decrease will be for the benefit of Sysco. If the
change was initiated by AIPC, then such decrease will be shared two-thirds
to the benefit of Sysco and one-third to the benefit of AIPC. If any change
described herein requires an investment of capital by AIPC, the parties
agree that AIPC shall be entitled to be reimbursed [*] as of the
date of the implementation of such change prior to sharing any cost savings
with Sysco. Subject to the annual limitation contained in Section 2.10(a),
any per-pound cost savings or increases under this Section 2.3(g) shall be
expressed as a price adjustment to take effect for the next succeeding
Measurement Period.
2.4 Packaging Cost Component.
(a) Exhibit 2.4(a)-1 sets forth the base-line procurement cost of
films and boxes ("Packaging Cost") to be used during the First Measurement
Period under this Agreement. Exhibit 2.4(a)-2 describes the packaging used
for each Product, and calculates the per-pound cost of the packaging.
(b) At least 45 days prior to each Adjustment Date the parties will
agree to a target packaging cost to be used for the succeeding Measurement
Period for all Plants, using the costs at the Excelsior Springs Plant
("Target Packaging Cost"). The Target Packaging Cost will [*].
(c) Within 30 days following the end of each Measurement Period, AIPC
will determine the actual per-unit Packaging Cost incurred by AIPC in the
just-concluded Measurement Period at its Excelsior Springs Plant ("Actual
Packaging Cost"). [*]. The Packaging Cost Variance will be paid
pursuant to the terms of Section 2.10 hereof.
(d) Subject to a written agreement otherwise, in the event AIPC
implements manufacturing or operating changes that directly result in
increased Packaging Cost, or if AIPC switches from chep pallets to other
types of pallets, then such cost increase will be borne by AIPC if it
initiated the change or by Sysco if the change was made at the written
request of Sysco. Subject to a written agreement otherwise, if AIPC
implements a manufacturing or operating change that was made at Sysco's
written request, which change directly results in decreased Packaging Cost,
then 100% of such cost decrease will be for the benefit of Sysco. If the
change was initiated by AIPC, then such decrease will be shared
5
two-thirds to the benefit of Sysco and one-third to the benefit of AIPC. If
any change described herein requires an investment of capital by AIPC, the
parties agree that AIPC shall be entitled to be reimbursed [*] as of
the date of the implementation of such change prior to sharing cost savings
with Sysco. Subject to the annual limitation contained in Section 2.10(a),
any per-pound cost savings or increases under this section shall be
expressed as a price adjustment to take effect for the succeeding
Measurement Period.
2.5 Transportation Cost.
(a) Exhibit 2.5 sets forth the specific Products that will be
manufactured exclusively at the Excelsior Springs Plant and transferred to
one or both of the other Plants. AIPC shall have the right to add or
subtract Products from this list at any Adjustment Date upon written notice
to Sysco.Exhibit 2.5 also establishes the baseline average
transportation cost per pound for each interfacility route (the "Average
Transportation Cost"). The prices for the Products listed on Exhibit
2.5 at the Columbia and Tolleson Plants will be [*].
(b) At least 45 days prior to the start of the each Contract Year, the
parties will agree to a target average transportation cost to be used for
the next Contract Year ("Target Average Transportation Cost"). The Target
Average Transportation Cost will be included in the price paid by Sysco for
each Product during the succeeding Contract Year.
(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that they will neither calculate
nor pay any variance between the Target Average Transportation Cost and the
actual average costs incurred for transportation.
2.6 Piece Picking Cost.
(a) Exhibit 2.6 sets forth the per-pound average piece pick
cost to be used as the base-line for the First Measurement Period of this
Agreement ("Average Piece Pick Cost"). Exhibit 2.6 also shows the
baseline values for the cost of each piece; pick and the percentage of
pieces picked.
(b) At least 45 days prior to each Adjustment Date, the parties will
agree on the target cost of each piece pick costs and targeted percentage
of pieces picked, and shall calculate [*] the target average piece
pick cost to be used for the succeeding Measurement Period ("Target Average
Piece Pick Cost"). [*].
(c) After the end of each Measurement Period, AIPC will determine the
actual percentage of pieces picked, and will calculate the actual per-pound
Average Piece Pick Cost incurred during the just-concluded Measurement
Period, by [*]. The resulting Variance will be paid pursuant to the
terms of Section 2.10 hereof.
(d) Subject to a written agreement otherwise, in the event AIPC
implements manufacturing or operating changes that directly result in
increased Average Piece Pick Cost, then such cost increase will be borne by
AIPC if it initiated the change, or by Sysco if the change was made at the
written request of Sysco. Subject to a written agreement otherwise, if AIPC
implements a manufacturing or operating change that was made at Sysco's
written request, which change directly results in decreased Average Piece
Pick Cost, then 100% of such
6
cost decrease will be for the benefit of Sysco. If the change was initiated
by AIPC, then such decrease will be shared two-thirds to the benefit of
Sysco and one-third to the benefit of AIPC. If any change described herein
requires an investment of capital by AIPC, the parties agree that AIPC be
entitled to be reimbursed [*] as of the date of the implementation
of such change prior to sharing cost savings with Sysco. Subject to the
annual limitation contained in Section 2.10(a), any per-pound cost savings
or increases under this section shall be expressed as a price adjustment to
take effect for the next succeeding Measurement Period.
2.7 Additives Cost.
(a) Exhibit 2.7 sets forth the per-pound procurement cost of
additives, lists all of the Products that contain additives, lists the
percentage of additives contained in each Product, and lists the implied
per pasta pound cost of the additives in each Product (the "Additive
Cost"), which will be used as the baseline Additive Cost in the First
Measurement Period.
(b) At least 45 days prior to each Adjustment Date the parties will
agree on the target additive cost for each Product to be used for the
succeeding Measurement Period based on costs at the Excelsior Springs Plant
("Target Additive Cost"). The Target Additive Cost will be included in the
per-pound price to be paid by Sysco for each Product during the succeeding
Measurement Period.
(c) Within 30 days following the end of each Measurement Period, AIPC
will determine the actual per-unit Additive Cost incurred by AIPC in the
just concluded Measurement Period, at its Excelsior Springs Plant ("Actual
Additive Cost"). [*]. The Additive Cost Variance will be paid
pursuant to the terms of Section 2.10 hereof.
(d) Subject to a written agreement otherwise, in the event AIPC
implements manufacturing or operating changes that directly result in
increased Additives Costs, then such cost increase will be borne by AIPC if
it initiated the change or by Sysco if the change was made at the written
request of Sysco. Subject to agreement otherwise, if AIPC implements a
manufacturing or operating change that was made at Sysco's written request,
which change directly results in decreased Additives Costs, then 100% of
such cost decrease will be for the benefit of Sysco. If the change was
initiated by AIPC, then such decrease will be shared two-thirds to the
benefit of Sysco and one-third to the benefit of AIPC. If any change
described herein requires an investment of capital by AIPC, the parties
agree that AIPC shall be entitled to be reimbursed [*] as of the
date of the implementation of such change prior to sharing cost savings
with Sysco. Subject to the annual limitation contained in Section 2.10(a),
any per-pound cost savings or increases under this section shall be
expressed as a price adjustment to take effect for the next succeeding
Measurement Period.
2.8 Co-Packing Cost.
(a) Exhibit 2.8 sets forth the specific Products to be
considered as "Other Pasta" as defined in Section 2.20, and the per-pound
cost of co-packed Products furnished to Sysco under this Agreement
("Co-Packing Cost"), which will be used as the baseline Co-Packing Cost in
the First Measurement Period. AIPC shall have the right to delete Products
7
from this list at any Adjustment Date upon written notice to Sysco. Such
deleted Products then shall be subject to the terms of Sections 2.3 through
2.7.
(b) At least 45 days prior to each Adjustment Date, the parties will
agree on target co-packing cost for each Product to be used for the
succeeding Measurement Period based on the Excelsior Springs Plant ("Target
Co-Packing Cost"). The Target Co- Packing Cost will be included in the
price paid by Sysco for each Product during the succeeding Measurement
Period.
(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that they will neither calculate
nor pay any variance between the Target Co-Packing Cost and the actual
co-packing costs incurred for co-packed Products furnished to Sysco under
this Agreement.
2.9 Conversion Cost Component.
(a) Exhibit 2.9 sets forth the elements of conversion cost and
the baseline per-pound conversion cost to be used for the first Contract
Year ("Conversion Cost"). The parties acknowledge that in the course of
converting durum into Products, AIPC incurs costs such as depreciation and
scrap losses, other than those included in Exhibit 2.9.
However, changes in any of the costs excluded from the calculations in
Exhibit 2.9 will not result in adjustment to the price of the
Products except under the circumstances described in Section
2.2 related to fundamental or catastrophic cost changes.
(b) At least 45 days prior to the start of each Contract Year, the
parties will agree to a target conversion cost for its combined operations
at the Excelsior Springs and Columbia Plants to apply to the next Contract
Year ("Target Conversion Cost"). (The Tolleson Plant or any other U.S.
Plant will be included if it is expected to ship 10% or more of the
Products purchased by Sysco in the next Contract Year.) The Target
Conversion Cost will be included in the price paid by Sysco for each
Product during the succeeding Contract Year.
(c) Within 30 days following the end of each Contract Year, AIPC will
determine the actual conversion cost for its most recently ended fiscal
year (the "Fiscal Year") based on its combined operations at its Excelsior
Springs and Columbia Plants ("Actual Conversion Cost"). [*]. The
resulting Conversion Cost Variance will be paid pursuant to the terms of
Section 2.10 hereof. (Provisos: (i) The Tolleson Plant or any other U.S.
Plant will be included in the conversion cost calculation if it shipped 10%
or more of the Products purchased by Sysco during the just concluded Fiscal
Year; and (ii) if this Agreement terminates on any date other than December
31 of a given year, the final calculation of the Conversion Cost Variance
will be based on AIPC's most recent fiscal quarters since the beginning of
the Contract year up until the date of termination.)
2.10 Margin Aggregate Variances and Cost Reductions.
(a) In the First Measurement Period, the baseline Product prices
reflect that AIPC will receive a baseline margin of [*] per pound.
Thereafter, AIPC's per-pound margin will remain unchanged except as
affected by cost savings from manufacturing or operating changes computed
under Sections 2.3 through 2.9 above; provided, however, notwithstanding
the terms of Sections 2.3 through 2.9, AIPC's maximum net cost savings
benefit in any Contract
8
Year shall be limited to a margin increase of no more than [*] per
pound compared to the previous Contract Year.
(b) The Semolina Variance, Packaging Cost Variance, Piece Pick Cost
Variance, and Additive Cost Variance computed under Sections 2.3, 2.4 and
2.6 and 2.7 shall be [*] and shall be determined within 60 days
after the end of the Measurement Period. If the [*], within 90 days
after the end of the Measurement Period on which the
[*] was based.
(c) The [*] shall be computed annually pursuant to Section 2.9.
If the [*], within 90 days after the end of the Contract Year on
which the [*] was based.
(d) For purposes of computing Biannual Variance and Annual Variance
(collectively the "Variances"), AIPC shall [*] applicable to its
fiscal reporting period that most closely corresponds to the applicable
Measurement Period for the Biannual Variances, or in the case of the Annual
Variance, the Fiscal Year. For example, the First Measurement Period each
year corresponds to AIPC's fiscal second and third fiscal quarters, and
AIPC's results from those quarters shall be used to compute the Biannual
Variances. The second Measurement Period each year corresponds to AIPC's
fiscal fourth quarter and the first fiscal quarter of the subsequent fiscal
year, and those quarters shall be used to compute the Biannual Variances.
(e) In order to assist Sysco in planning its quarterly expenses, AIPC
will compute an estimated net Variances based on costs through the date of
the estimate, and AIPC will provide Sysco with written notice thereof, no
later than forty-five (45) days before the end of each calendar quarter.
Such estimate shall be a good-faith estimate, and shall not be binding upon
AIPC. Such estimate shall indicate what the net Variances will be at the
end of the then-current Measurement Period and Contract Year if the
then-current cost trends continue through the end of the Measurement Period
and Contract Year. Thus, AIPC will advise Sysco of the estimated net
Variances on or before February 13, May 16, August 16, and November 15, of
each year.
2.11 Effect of Failure to Agree. In the event the parties do not reach
agreement on any target value under Sections 2.3 through 2.9, above, the
applicable target value then in effect will continue to be the target value for
the subsequent Measurement Period until the parties reach agreement or until the
matter has been determined pursuant to Section 8.10, below.
2.12 Sysco Right to Object and Audit. In the event Sysco disputes any
variance calculation with respect to any Measurement Period or any Contract Year
made by AIPC under Sections 2.3 through 2.10 above, Sysco may object thereto in
writing within 30 days of AIPC's determination of such variance ("Variance
Objection"). Sysco will then have 60 days from submission of its Variance
Objection to review, during reasonable business hours, the business records of
AIPC used to reach such determination, and to notify AIPC in writing of the
actual variance that Sysco believes to be accurate ("Sysco-Determined
Variance"). In the event the parties cannot agree upon the actual variance in
question within 30 days from Sysco's submission of the Sysco-Determined
Variance, the matter may be submitted by either party for resolution pursuant to
Section 8.10, below. Any differences in variances agreed to by the Parties
9
or determined pursuant to Section 8.10, will be paid by the appropriate Party to
the other within 10 days thereafter, together with interest thereon at the rate
of 8% per annum from the date such payment should have been made pursuant to
Section 2.10 of this Agreement.
2.13 Payment Terms. Sysco shall make payments to AIPC for Products
supplied to Sysco by AIPC within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an invoice
therefor.
2.14 Exclusive Supplier to Sysco in U.S. Except for sales pursuant to
Section 2.17 of this Agreement, during the term hereof AIPC shall not act as a
supplier or seller of pasta or Products to any business other than Sysco in the
United States that, as its primary business, operates as, or sells and delivers
to, institutions (such as restaurants, hospitals and schools) which provide food
for consumption away from home ("Foodservice Business"). Specifically, AIPC may
sell pasta and/or Products (i) to a business that sells food directly to
consumers at retail, including but not limited to grocery, drug, mass merchant,
health food, and other similar retail stores ("Retail Business") or that sells
or distributes products to the Retail Business, (ii) to industrial ingredient
food processors who use pasta in their finished product and (iii) to government
agencies and through government-sponsored food programs.
2.15 Exclusive Right to Market Sysco Label Pasta in U.S. AIPC shall
have the exclusive right to supply Products bearing a Sysco-owned label through
Sysco in the United States, provided that (i) AIPC maintains the quality of such
Products and supplies them at a competitive price (based upon prices available
in long term arrangements and taking into consideration the costs associated
with the multi-colored packaging and box designs which have been or will be
designed by Sysco and AIPC), and (ii) AIPC provides a continuous source of
supply of Products to Sysco, it being understood that in the event of an
interruption in AIPC's production, AIPC shall be permitted to utilize other
sources of supply (provided such supply is of similar quality to the Products
produced by AIPC) as approved in writing in advance by Sysco. Nothing in this
Section shall be construed as obligating AIPC to sell Products to Sysco at less
than the price provided for in this Agreement or to utilize such alternative
sources of supply as approved by Sysco, unless AIPC elects to do so in order to
maintain its exclusive rights under this Section.
2.16 Sales in Mexico, Canada, and Europe. During the term hereof, if
Sysco should desire to sell pasta products in Mexico, Canada or Europe, Sysco
shall give AIPC a right of first refusal to supply such products as follows:
when Sysco has received a written, bona fide offer from a third party to supply
pasta products to Sysco in any of such geographical areas, Sysco shall provide
AIPC with all relevant data concerning such third-party offer, and AIPC shall
have fourteen (14) days to respond in writing with its proposal. If AIPC's
proposal is substantially equal to, or less costly than, the third-party offer,
Sysco shall enter into a supply contract with AIPC in accordance with the terms
of AIPC's proposal as modified by the mutual written agreement of the parties.
It is further understood that to the extent allowable by applicable law, AIPC's
supply of pasta products to Sysco in Europe will be from AIPC's subsidiary,
Pasta Lensi, s.r.l. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 2.16, AIPC acknowledges that Sysco currently sells pasta products under
the Arrezzio label in Canada pursuant to an existing contract with a third party
supplier. AIPC acknowledges and agrees that such contract shall not be subject
to the right of first refusal granted hereunder so long as the contract involves
only Arrezzio-branded product.
10
2.17 Direct Sales to Certain Sysco Customers. The parties acknowledge
that certain Foodservice Business customers (including the military,
universities and major restaurant chains) may insist upon purchasing directly
from a manufacturer. In those situations, AIPC shall be permitted to sell
Products directly to such Foodservice Businesses at prices negotiated between
AIPC and such Foodservice Businesses, and AIPC shall use Sysco's Operating
Companies as AIPC's exclusive agent in connection with such direct sales. Sysco
will be compensated on such sales by the payment of a fee to be mutually agreed
by AIPC and Sysco. Such sales may be in the form of actual sales or as sales to
Sysco at the prices contracted with such customers, in which case AIPC shall pay
the agreed upon fee monthly to Sysco within 15 days of the end of the calendar
month for all sales made during that month.
2.18 Sysco Orders; Billing. Sysco, on behalf of the Operating
Companies, shall order directly from AIPC for all purchases hereunder. Such
orders shall be placed at least four (4) business days prior to the requested
shipment date. Sysco may, for special orders, request a shorter delivery date,
and AIPC will use reasonable, good faith efforts to meet such special delivery
date(s). Billing by AIPC shall be directly to Sysco, irrespective of which
Operating Company is the recipient of the respective order(s).
2.19 Labeling. AIPC agrees to use such labeling on the pasta ordered by
Sysco as is supplied to AIPC by Sysco or obtained by AIPC in accordance with the
instructions and guidelines of Sysco.
2.20 Purchase of Pasta Not Manufactured by AIPC. As of the date of this
Agreement, AIPC does not manufacture certain types of pasta such as giant shells
and manicotti ("Other Pasta"). Sysco will permit AIPC to purchase Other Pasta
for resale to Sysco under Sysco labels. AIPC will have the exclusive right to
market Other Pasta bearing a Sysco label through Sysco in the United States,
Canada and Mexico, provided that (1) the quality of the Other Pasta is
acceptable to Sysco in its reasonable judgment, (2) AIPC is willing to sell the
Other Pasta to Sysco at a price which is comparable to a price for Other Pasta
of similar quality and packaging and in similar quantities as is available to
Sysco from one or more third parties, and (3) the Other Pasta is manufactured in
accordance with Sysco's quality assurance standards that are applicable to
AIPC's facilities. The price for Other Pasta is established pursuant to Exhibit
2.1 hereof and adjusted pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof.
3. Trademark Licenses.
3.1 Sysco License. During the term of this Agreement,
Sysco hereby grants to AIPC the non-exclusive right to use the Sysco Trademarks
(as such term is defined below) on and in relation to its sale of the Products
to the Sysco and the Operating Companies. Such use of the Sysco Trademarks shall
be in accordance with the instructions and guidelines of Sysco as provided to
AIPC from time to time. AIPC acknowledges and agrees that it is only authorized
hereunder to sell the Products bearing any of the Sysco Trademarks to the Sysco
or the Sysco Operating Companies and sales or distribution to any other parties
are expressly prohibited, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.17
herein or in writing by Sysco.
(a) Limited Use of Sysco Trademarks. AIPC agrees that during the
term of and after the termination of this Agreement it shall not use any of the
Sysco Trademarks or any words or marks confusingly similar thereto in connection
with the manufacture, use, sale or distribution of any products which are not
sold exclusively to the Sysco or the Operating Companies.
(b) Definition of Sysco Trademarks. For purposes of this
Agreement "Sysco Trademarks" shall mean one or more of the trademarks, brands,
logos, symbols, slogans, or packaging motifs designated by Sysco form time to
time and owned or licensed by Sysco, any of the Operating Companies and/or any
affiliates of Sysco for resale by Sysco or the Operating Companies.
3.2 AIPC License. AIPC acknowledges and agrees that Sysco
shall have the right to continue using the ▇▇▇▇ PASTA LA BELLA pursuant to the
terms of that certain trademark license agreement entered into between Sysco and
AIPC and dated February 3, 1994, ("Pasta La Bella License"). As such, the Pasta
La Bella License may be amended from time to time.
4. Marketing and Promotion.
4.1 Marketing and Promotional Activities of Sysco. Sysco
shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to sell Products to Sysco's existing
Foodservice Business customers in the United States, Canada and Mexico in
accordance with necessary and appropriate marketing and promotional practices.
Subject to Section 3.2 hereof, Sysco shall bear all expenses incurred in
connection with all such marketing and promotional activities engaged in by
Sysco.
4.2 Marketing and Promotional Activities of AIPC. AIPC
shall continue to cooperate with Sysco in developing Sysco's pasta marketing
program in the United States, Canada and Mexico. In the event AIPC and Sysco
agree in writing that Sysco will assume the cost of any sales, marketing and
promotional activities and expenses historically provided by AIPC, Sysco will
receive a corresponding reduction in the price of Products.
4.3 Joint Marketing. Sysco may request that the parties
engage in joint marketing efforts beyond the scope of Sections 3.1 and 3.2
above, upon terms to be mutually agreed by the parties from time to time.
5. Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.
5.1 Warranty as to Purchased Products. AIPC warrants that
each Product will meet the specifications for such Product that are in effect or
as otherwise agreed to by the parties from time to time. If AIPC supplies Other
Pasta to Sysco pursuant to Sections 2.8 and 2.20 of this Agreement, AIPC
warrants that Other Pasta will meet the mutually agreed specifications for such
Other Pasta. AIPC further warrants that the Products and Other Pasta delivered

will not be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "Act"), (b) will not be an article which cannot be
introduced into interstate commerce under the provisions of Section 404 and 505
of the Act, and (c) will be in material compliance with all applicable federal,
state and local laws.
12
5.2 Covenants.
(a) Compliance with Laws. AIPC agrees that its Plants shall be
operated in material compliance with all applicable codes, laws, statutes,
regulations and ordinances, whether federal, state or local including, without
limitation, all environmental, health or safety laws. AIPC will promptly notify
Sysco of any notices or proceedings arising out of the material nonconformity or
noncompliance with respect to any matters addressed in this Section 4.2 and AIPC
will promptly cure or have dismissed with prejudice any such actions or
proceedings to Sysco's reasonable satisfaction.
(b) Permits and Licenses. During the term of this Agreement,
AIPC agrees to maintain in place all permits and licenses reasonably necessary
for the operation by AIPC of the Plants and shall otherwise comply with any and
all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental unit or agency
having jurisdiction related in any way to the use or occupancy of the Plants by
AIPC, including, without limitation, the United States Department of
Agriculture.
(c) Repairs and Operation. AIPC agrees to operate the Plants in
a commercially reasonable manner and to keep the Plants in good repair in
accordance with reasonable standards of operation and good manufacturing
practices of the United States Food and Drug Administration.
(d) Inspections. Upon reasonable notice to AIPC, Sysco's
employees and representatives shall have the right of full access to the Plants
during normal business hours during the term of this Agreement so long as they
agree to comply with all rules and regulations applied by AIPC generally to all
Plant visitors.
5.3 Changes and Improvements. During the course of this
Agreement, AIPC may develop or implement changes to its manufacturing,
operating, or business methods as a result of its own initiatives or as a result
of information provided by Sysco. In either event, such changes, and the
information and know-how on which they are based, will be deemed to be the sole
and exclusive property of AIPC and may be used by AIPC with respect to its
business without any compensation to Sysco other than as specifically provided
herein. Nothing in this Agreement obligates either party to develop or implement
any change in their manufacturing, operating or business methods.
6. Term of Agreement.
6.1 Initial Term. Subject to the provisions of this Article, this
Agreement shall become effective on July 1, 2003, and expire December 31, 2006.
6.2 Termination in Event of Default or Bankruptcy. Either party may
terminate this Agreement, prior to the expiration of the term hereof, upon (a)
the other party's failure to cure any default hereunder within ninety (90) days
of receipt of written notification of such default or (b) the filing of any
petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any proceeding relating to the
relief or readjustment of indebtedness, either through reorganization or
otherwise, by or against the other party.
13
6.3 Termination by Sysco. If AIPC becomes substantially unable to
perform its obligations under this Agreement for any reason other than those
listed in Section 9.7 hereof, and such inability to perform persists for three
(3) months or more, Sysco may terminate this Agreement.
6.4 Extension of Term. This Agreement will renew automatically for
additional terms of three (3) years each, up to a maximum of two additional
terms, except as provided below:
(a) Sysco may decline to renew for the next term if it provides to AIPC
a written termination notice no later than six (6) months prior to the end of
the then-current term; or
(b) If Sysco's annualized purchasing volume for the first six months of
the third Contract Year of any term is more than 10% below its average annual
volume of purchases during the first two Contract Years of such term, AIPC may
decline to renew for the next term by giving written notice to Sysco no later
than three months prior to the end of the then-current term.
6.5 End of Term Inventory. The parties acknowledge that
the Products are manufactured and packaged exclusively for Sysco, and that AIPC
has no market for the Products and packaging other than Sysco. Accordingly,
unless otherwise requested by Sysco, AIPC shall be entitled to draw down its
inventory of Products and packaging near the end of any term of this Agreement
so as to not have excess inventory remaining at the end of the term, even if
this means that some orders will be incompletely filled during the last month of
the term. If Sysco desires that orders be filled completely throughout the term,
it may so notify AIPC to do so, but in such case Sysco shall be obligated to
purchase any leftover inventory of Products or packaging from AIPC at the end of
the term. The Products shall be purchased at the then-current rates under this
Agreement, and the packaging shall be purchased at the costs paid therefor by
AIPC.
7. Indemnification and Insurance.
7.1 Indemnification by AIPC. AIPC shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Sysco, the Operating Companies and their respective employees,
officers, directors and customers (individually an "Indemnitee") from all
actions, suits, claims and proceedings ("Claims"), and any judgments, damages,
fines, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees resulting
therefrom (and Indemnitee shall notify AIPC promptly of the service of process
or receipt of actual notice of any Claim) (A) brought or commenced by federal,
state or local governmental authorities against any Indemnitee alleging that any
Products or Other Pasta sold by AIPC to or on the order of Sysco or an Operating
Company hereunder did not, as of the date of delivery, meet the representations
set forth in Section 4.1 above; (B) to the extent allowed by applicable law,
brought or commenced by an employee (statutory or other), agent, representative,
officer and director of AIPC or its contractors and subcontractors for personal
injury, death, loss or damage of property arising out of or alleged to have
arisen out of any occurrence on owned, leased, permanent, or temporary property
or premises of Sysco or an Operating Company; or, (C) brought or commenced by
any person or entity against any
14
Indemnitee for recovery of damages for the injury, illness and/or death of any
person or damage to property, in either case, arising out of (i) the delivery,
sale, resale, use, consumption or labeling or any Product or Other Product; (ii)
the failure of any Product or Other Product to meet the representations set
forth in Section 4.1, above; or (iii) the negligence of AIPC. AIPC's
indemnification obligations hereunder shall not apply to the extent that Claims
are (x) caused by the negligence of an Indemnitee, or (y) arise out of the use
of the Sysco Trademarks pursuant to this Agreement.
7.2 Indemnification by Sysco. Sysco shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless AIPC and its employees, officers and directors from and against any and
all claims and liabilities, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys
fees incurred in connection with the defense of any such Claims, arising out of
(i) Sysco's marketing efforts pursuant hereto, (ii) the misuse, improper
storage, handling or adulteration of any Pasta or Other Products by Sysco or an
Operating Company, or (iii) the use of the Sysco Trademarks pursuant to this
Agreement.
7.3 Insurance. AIPC shall maintain in effect insurance coverage with
reputable insurance companies covering worker's compensation and employers'
liability, automobile liability, comprehensive general liability, including
product liability and excess liability, all with limits described in Exhibit
7.3. AIPC shall furnish a certificate evidencing the obligation of its insurance
carriers not to cancel or materially amend such policies without thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Sysco. In addition, Sysco shall be named as an
additional insured with respect to (i) the comprehensive general product
liability coverages specified herein using the Insurance Services Office form CG
2015 Broad Form Vendor's endorsement or its equivalent, and (ii) automobile and
excess liability coverages.
8. Assignment.
8.1 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by AIPC or
Sysco without the written consent of the other party, including any assignment
by operation of law occurring as the result of any foreclosure of the Plants or
any material component thereof by any person having a security interest or
mortgage therein, and any attempted assignment in violation of this provision
shall be void and unenforceable. For purposes of this Agreement, any merger,
sale of all or substantially all of the assets, sale or transfer of a
controlling interest in the shares or other voting securities, or any other
transaction or series of transactions which results in any change in the person
or persons holding a majority of the voting securities in any party (or any
entity controlling such party), shall be deemed to be an assignment of this
Agreement by such party which shall require the consent of the other party as
set forth above.
8.2 Binding Effect. Subject to Section 8.1, this Agreement and the
rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of such parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

Agreement.
9.2 Amendment. This Agreement shall not be amended, altered or changed
except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto or their permitted
assignees, if any.
9.3 Waiver. Any waiver by either party hereto of an obligation on the
part of the other party shall be ineffective unless in writing and shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any other future obligation or performance.
9.4 Severability. In the event that any provision hereof is found by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such unenforceability shall
not affect the binding nature of the balance of the Agreement and the remaining
provisions shall be given effect, to the extent possible, as if the
unenforceable provision had not been included herein.

the parties hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with the law of the

and no act or the parties, shall be deemed to create any relationship between
the parties other than the relationship of buyer and seller.
9.9 Past Practice. Whenever this Agreement refers to "past practice"
as in references to treatment consistent with past practice, such reference is
to the past practice of the parties under the Former Agreement.
9.10 Dispute Resolution. Except as provided below, the parties shall
submit any and all disputes controversies or claims arising out of or related to
this Agreement ("Disputes") to non-binding mediation to be held in Houston,
Texas. If complete agreement cannot be reached within forty-five (45) days of

Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection, all as amended from time to time
(the "Rules") of the American Arbitration Association and the provisions of this
Section 9.10; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall

they shall use their best efforts to cause the matter to be presented to a panel
of three arbitrators (at least one of whom shall have at least ten years of

party from a court of law shall be available from the arbitration panel. The
decision of a majority of the arbitration panel with respect to the matters
referred to them pursuant hereto shall be final and binding upon the parties to
the dispute, and confirmation and enforcement thereof may be rendered thereon by
any court having jurisdiction upon application of any person who is a party to
the arbitration proceeding. The costs and expenses incurred in the course of
such arbitration shall be borne by the party or parties against whose favor the
decisions and conclusions of the arbitration panel are rendered; provided,
however, that if the arbitration panel determines that its decisions are not
rendered wholly against the favor of one party or parties or the other, the
arbitration panel shall be authorized to apportion such costs and expenses in
the manner that it deems fair and just in light of the merits of the dispute and
its resolution. The arbitration panel shall have no power or authority under
this Agreement or otherwise to award or provide for the award of punitive or
consequential damages against any party.
The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall not apply to third party claims
brought against either party and their respective directors, officers, employees
or agents for which such party may have a right to indemnity from the other
party under this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the day and year first set forth above.
