Company’s Intellectual Property Rights will not be impacted by any Event of Default or termination of the Agreement.

    14.2 Supplier’s Intellectual Property Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Supplier is the sole owner of all right, title, and interest in and to any Intellectual Property Rights that were developed by Supplier prior to or independent of its performance under the Agreement. If any Product incorporates Supplier’s Intellectual Property Rights, Supplier grants Company the right and license to use such Intellectual Property Rights in connection with Company’s use of the Product in connection with Merchandise.

15. Marks. Supplier does not own any interest whatsoever in the Marks. Supplier will refrain from making any claims or asserting any right or interest in the Marks. Supplier will have no right or authority to use, display, license, refer to, or in any way benefit from such Marks in any manner.

If any part of this covenant is found to be unreasonable in time or distance, the arbitrator or court may modify the covenant and enforce it to the maximum lawful extent. Supplier acknowledges that any failure to comply with this Section 16 will cause irreparable harm to the Company for which money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. If Supplier breaches this Section 16, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, Company will be entitled to a restraining order, injunction, or other similar relief in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 16 without the posting of a bond or any other security.

The disclosure of the Confidential Information to Supplier by Company or developed by Supplier or Company as a result of the Products supplied and Related Services provided hereunder, as well as the disclosure of Confidential Information to Company by Supplier, is induced by and in reliance on the covenants regarding confidentiality set forth in this Section 17. All Confidential Information will be subject to this Section 17 and will be used by the Parties for the sole and exclusive purpose of supplying the Products or performing the Related Services. Except as otherwise permitted in these Terms and Conditions or in a separate writing signed by the Parties, the Parties will maintain Confidential Information in strict confidence and will not disclose any Confidential Information to any person other than to bona fide employees, agents, or professional advisors of the Party who the Party believes requires such Confidential Information on a need-to-know basis in the course of their work with the Party. If any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information occurs or is suspected by a Party, that Party will immediately notify the other Party of the full particulars of such actual or suspected disclosure. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, the Parties will promptly: (a) return to the other Party all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession, together with all the copies thereof and all documents based thereon; (b) destroy, and confirm to the other Party that it has been destroyed, including all Confidential Information stored on any electrical or magnetic storage device; (c) cease to use, in any manner whatsoever, all of the Confidential Information; and (d) cause any employees, agents, and advisors to return or destroy all Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that any failure to comply with this Section 17 will cause irreparable harm to the other Party for which money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. If a Party breaches this Section 17, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, the other Party will be entitled to a restraining order, injunction, or other similar relief in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 17 without the posting of a bond or any other security.

18. Subcontractors. Supplier will not engage or use any third party to perform all or any part of Supplier’s obligations under the Agreement, including, but not limited, to the manufacture of Products.

19. Insider Trading. Supplier will advise any Persons who are informed as to matters that are the subject of the Agreement, including, without limitation, any Confidential Information, that U.S. securities laws prohibit any Person who has received from an issuer, such as Company, material, non-public information concerning matters like those that are the subject of the Agreement from purchasing or selling securities of that issuer on the basis of the information or from communicating the information to any other Person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities on the basis of that information.

21. Gratuities and Gifts, Conduct, and Employment Matters. The Parties will not make or offer a gratuity or gift of any kind to either Parties’ employees or their families that could be viewed as relating to an actual or potential business relationship with either Party. Gifts include entertainment, personal services, favors, discounts, and other preferential treatment of any kind. Either Party will interpret any such action as an improper attempt to influence its employees, which will jeopardize the Parties’ relationship. For the avoidance of doubt, gifts do not include samples of Products in reasonable quantities provided by Supplier in furtherance of the Agreement or reasonable food and beverages at a meeting between Supplier and Company. Supplier and its employees will comply with all of Company’s policies relating to ethical and professional conduct. Supplier will fairly compensate its employees by providing wages and benefits that are in compliance with all Applicable Laws of the jurisdictions in which Supplier is doing business or which are consistent with the prevailing local standards in the jurisdiction in which Supplier is doing business, if the prevailing local standards are higher. Supplier will maintain reasonable employee work hours in compliance with local standards and Applicable Laws of the jurisdictions in which Supplier does business or produces or transports Products. Supplier will comply with all Applicable Laws relating to provision of days off, vacation time, holidays, and leave privileges for employees. Supplier will not utilize forced or prison labor. Supplier will not employ a person younger than permitted by Applicable Law in the relevant jurisdiction; regardless of such Applicable Law, all of Supplier’s employees will be over the age of 14 years, and Supplier will ensure that the ages of all employees are appropriately documented. Supplier will not discriminate in employment (including in recruitment, hiring, training, working conditions, job assignments, pay, benefits, promotions, discipline, termination and retirement) on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, social origin, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, or political opinion. Supplier will not subject any of its or their employees to any physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse. Supplier will ensure that all of its employees have the right to establish and join legal organizations of their own choosing, without being penalized for the non-violent exercise of such rights. If and to the extent that these Terms and Conditions establish, with respect to employment, conduct or other matters covered by this Section 21, standards more strict than those prescribed by Applicable Law, Supplier will adhere to the stricter requirements set forth in this Section 21.

22. Insurance. During the Term and for a reasonable time thereafter related to the normal lifetime of the Products (but not less than seven years) with respect to Product Liability insurance, Supplier will, at its own expense and at all times, carry insurance of the types, in the amounts and with the coverages specified:

    • Comprehensive General Liability Insurance (occurrence form) Covering Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Advertising Injury, Personal Injury, Contractual Liability, Product Liability, and Completed Operations - Combined single limits, $1,000,000 per occurrence.

    The relevant policies must name the Company Indemnitees as additional insureds, and the policies must contain a standard separation of insureds provision. The relevant policies must also be endorsed to provide that coverage for the Company Indemnitees will be primary to and not contributory to any policies carried by Company. The relevant policies must contain an endorsement in which the insurance carrier waives any rights of subrogation with respect to the Company Indemnitees. All required insurance must be written by reputable, financially responsible companies that are duly licensed to operate within the jurisdictions in which Supplier has operations, and these insurance companies must have and maintain an A.M. Best’s Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) or better and Financial Size Category of X or higher. If at any time an insurance carrier providing coverage required under the Agreement falls below an A.M. Best’s Financial Strength Rating of A- or Financial Size Category of X, Supplier will have ten days to replace coverage with a compliant carrier and provide evidence of such to Company. The required limits may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella liability policies. Supplier may not satisfy any of its insurance obligations set forth in the Agreement through any self-insurance or self-insured retention in excess of $10,000. Before producing any Products or providing any Related Services, Supplier must provide Company with evidence of this insurance in the form of certificates evidencing such coverage as well as endorsements reflecting the requirements of this Section 22 and all language wherever found in the policies that relates to the determination of who is an additional insured, and the scope of the additional insured’s coverage. Supplier must give 30 days’ prior written notice to Company of any material changes in or termination of such policies. Company has the right, but not the obligation, to inspect any actual policies required under the Agreement for compliance with all specified coverage, terms, conditions, endorsements, and limits.

If the Force Majeure Event continues beyond 30 days, either Party may cancel the Agreement pursuant to Section 24.3.

26. Dispute Resolution.

    26.1 Negotiation. Before submitting any claim, controversy, or dispute arising out of the Agreement to arbitration, litigation, or other legal proceedings (except actions seeking extraordinary relief, i.e., specific performance or an injunction), the complaining Party will provide written notice to the other of the claim, controversy, or dispute, and each Party will, as promptly as practical, appoint one or more senior executives with authority to settle such claim, controversy, or dispute who will meet with each other in good faith for the purpose of resolving the claim, controversy, or dispute.

    26.2 Mediation. Except for actions seeking extraordinary relief, if the Parties are unable to resolve any claim, controversy or dispute by negotiation in accordance with Section 26.1 within 30 days of a Party providing written notice of the claim, controversy or dispute, then either Party may deliver to the other Party written notice of its intention to commence mediation in accordance with this Section 26.2, which it must do before commencing proceedings with respect to the claim, controversy or dispute. The Parties will endeavor to settle the claim, controversy or dispute by mediation by first jointly selecting an independent and neutral third party to be the mediator. If the Parties fail to select the mediator within 15 days following delivery of the written notice of intention to commence proceedings with respect to a claim, controversy or dispute in accordance with this Section 26.2, a mediator will be selected by the American Arbitration Association from its approved panel of mediators. The mediation will be conducted within 30 days of the selection of the mediator in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area or such other location expressly agreed to by the Parties. Company and Supplier will be responsible for their respective attorneys’ fees and costs and share equally the fees and costs of the selected mediator. If the claim, controversy or dispute is not resolved by mediation in accordance with this Section 26.2 within 60 days following the selection of a mediator in accordance with the foregoing, either Company or Supplier may elect to pursue available remedies with respect to the claim, controversy or dispute in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

    26.3 Arbitration. Except for actions seeking extraordinary relief, if the Parties are unable to resolve any claim, controversy or dispute as set forth in Section 26.2, the dispute will be finally determined by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area, in accordance with its then-current Expedited Procedures of its Commercial Arbitration Rules, except as otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions. The arbitration is to be conducted by a sole arbitrator, jointly selected by the Parties. If the Parties fail to agree upon the arbitrator within 30 days after the commencement of the arbitration, then the American Arbitration Association administrator will appoint the arbitrator. The arbitrator has authority to resolve disputes as to arbitrability and the arbitrator’s jurisdiction. Except as provided herein, and without limiting the noncompliance remedies available herein, the arbitrator will have the authority to award any interim, provisional, or final remedy or relief that any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Texas could order or grant, including, without limitation, general damages, specific performance, injunctive or other extraordinary relief, or the imposition of sanctions for abuse or frustration of the arbitration process. Any arbitration award will be final and binding and will be paid within 30 days of the issuance of the arbitrator’s award. Any judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration costs and attorneys’ fees for the Party that principally prevails will be paid by the Party that does not principally prevail in the arbitration. If a Party fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 26.3, or with an order, award, or determination of the arbitrator, then such noncomplying Party will be liable for all costs and expenses, including court administrative costs, incurred by a prevailing Party in its effort to obtain either an order to compel, or recognition or enforcement of an award, from the arbitral panel or from a court of competent jurisdiction.

    26.4 Injunctive or Provisional Relief or Enforcement. Notwithstanding the above, either Party may elect to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to seek interim or provisional injunctive, equitable, or other extraordinary relief or its equivalent with respect to any matters contemplated by the Agreement.

    26.5 Governing Law and Venue. The laws of Texas (without giving effect to any conflict of laws) will govern the Parties’ relationship and the interpretation and enforcement of the Agreement. Company and Supplier acknowledge and agree that the activities contemplated under the Agreement occur in Texas. With respect to all suits, actions or other legal proceedings under the Agreement, except as provided in Section 26.3, each of the Parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and the courts of Dallas County, Texas. Company and Supplier each agrees that such courts are a reasonable venue and waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, any claims that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that such suit is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit is improper.

    26.6 Limitation of Actions. Any claims between the Parties must be commenced within two years from the date on which the Party asserting the claim knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim, or such claim will be barred.

    26.7 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. ALL PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE ANY ACTION TRIED BY JURY.

    26.8 Confidentiality of Proceedings. Except as necessary to obtain interim or provisional relief or to enforce any arbitration award, neither Party nor any mediator or arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any settlement negotiations, mediation, or arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.

    26.9 No Class Action or Consolidation. Any actions related to a dispute will be conducted on an individual basis, and not as part of a common, consolidated, or class action; provided, if multiple claims are brought by Company, having common claims and interests, Company may have the claims consolidated into a single proceeding.

    26.10 Claims Not a Defense; Effect on Performance. Any claims Supplier may have against Company or any of its Affiliates, whether or not arising from the Agreement, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Company or any of its Affiliates of any of its rights under the Agreement. Further, the filing of a suit, action or other legal proceeding will not operate to stay, postpone or rescind the effectiveness of any demand for performance or notice of termination.

27. Freedom of Action. The Agreement will not limit Company’s right to develop, procure and market any products or services whatsoever through any channel of distribution or to any customer or through any supplier, now or in the future, including any products which are the same as or which may be competitive with the Products. Company retains the right to obtain the Products, and any other products or services, from any source Company determines at its option, including, without limitation, from Supplier’s competitors.

28. Entire Agreement; Amendments. The Agreement and all Schedules attached to the Agreement, including, without limitation, these Terms and Conditions, and any Purchase Orders submitted by Company pursuant thereto represent the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the Products and Related Services and supersede all prior discussions, agreements, and understandings of every kind between the Parties.

29. Notices and Correspondence.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, consents, and approvals under the Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been properly given upon actual or attempted delivery by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or overnight courier service providing delivery confirmation, to the address of the Party as set forth in the Agreement or at such other address as any of the Parties hereto from time to time may have designated by written notice to the other Party.

30. Severability. If any provision contained in the Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision: (a) will be construed in a manner to enable it to be enforced to the extent permitted by Applicable Law; and (b) will not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provision.

31. Assignment. Company may assign or transfer its rights and interest in the Agreement or any Purchase Order to any third party, including, without limitation, Company’s Affiliates, without Supplier’s consent. Supplier may not assign or transfer its rights or interest in the Agreement or any Purchase Order to any third party, including Supplier’s Affiliates, without Company’s prior written consent. If Supplier merges with, acquires, or is acquired by a third party, Supplier will promptly provide notice to Company of such merger or acquisition and Company will have the option to terminate the Agreement without liability to Supplier.

32. Survival. All terms which by their nature survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement will survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement, including, without limitation: Section 12 (Warranty); Section 14 (Intellectual Property Rights); Section 16 (Covenant Not to Compete); Section 17 (Confidential Information); Section 20 (Indemnification, Product Recall, and Losses and Expenses); and Section 26 (Dispute Resolution).

33. Independent Contractor. Supplier is an independent contractor and not an employee, partner, or agent of Company. Neither Party will have authority to commit or create any liability on the part of the other in any manner whatsoever. Personnel retained or assigned by Supplier to perform work under the Agreement will at all times be considered employees, agents, or contractors of Supplier, and at no time employees, agents, contractors, or partners of Company or its Affiliates, and Supplier will be fully responsible for compensation, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation insurance coverage, and any other legal requirements associated with employment.

34. Third Party Beneficiaries. The Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and will not confer upon third parties any remedy, claims, actions, or other right except as specifically conferred upon Company Indemnitees in Sections 20.1 and 22 above.

35. Waivers. The failure of either Party at any time to require performance by the other Party of any of the provisions herein will not operate as a waiver of the right of a Party to require strict performance of the same or like provisions, or any other provisions hereof, at a later time.

36. Cumulative Remedies. Each right and remedy hereunder is cumulative with each and every other right and remedy herein or in any other agreement between the Parties or under Applicable Law.
