package Products, but not more than the average quantity of packaging for each SKU of Product ordered by
Buyer during each month of the three month period ending on the date of termination. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Buyer shall have no obligation to purchase any packaging material suitable for use by Vendor in
packaging items for other Vendor customers.
5.1.3 Labeling. All Products shall be labeled by Vendor and bear such information as
required by and in accordance with all applicable Laws relating to each such Product. Labeling shall include,
without limitation, coding necessary to identify the Vendor, production location, line, production date, lot

standards. Such tests shall be conducted by laboratories acceptable to Buyer and, if applicable, to the agency or
authority requiring the same. At Buyer’s option, upon written notice to Vendor, Buyer may perform or have

5.4
Facility Inspections. Buyer or its designee may from time to time inspect Vendor’s facilities
(and the facilities of its third party manufacturers) to verify that the Products are of appropriate quality and
otherwise meet the requirements of this Agreement and that such facilities meet Buyer’s social accountability
and safety standards, as amended and published to Buyer’s vendors from time to time. Buyer shall be under no
obligation to purchase or otherwise accept any Product that is produced (whether in whole or in part) in a
facility that does not meet Buyer’s social accountability or safety standards, as amended and published to
Buyer’s vendors from time to time.

6.
Payment.
6.1
Pricing. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties and except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Agreement, prices for Products shall be as set forth on the applicable Order. All
prices are expressed in USD. The prices specified in this Agreement are not subject to any additional charges
(i) for packing or preparation for shipment, (ii) because of increased costs of operation or materials, (iii)
because of any taxes or excises levied on processors, manufacturers, wholesalers or (iv) for any other reason.
Prices herein are guaranteed by Vendor against Vendor’s own price decline and against legitimate competition
until date of shipment. In the event that within ninety (90) days after final shipment under any Order, Vendor
sells, or offers to sell to others, merchandise substantially similar to any Product purchased pursuant to this
Agreement at a lower price and/or on terms more favorable to a third party than those stated in this Agreement
and/or the applicable Order, the prices and/or terms herein shall be automatically revised to equal the lowest
prices and or most favorable terms at which Vendor shall have sold or shall have offered such merchandise and
payments shall be made accordingly. In the event that Buyer shall become entitled to such lower prices, but
shall have made payment at any price in excess thereof, Vendor shall promptly refund the difference in price to
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Dollar General – Master Supply Agreement Initialed: Buyer_____/Vendor_____
Page 5 of 13
Rev. 4-2011
Buyer, or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, Buyer may deduct such amounts from Vendor’s outstanding invoices or
set off against Vendor’s account for any Products on hand or in transit at the time of the reduction. In the event
that a court or regulatory agency or body finds that the prices herein are in excess of that allowed by any Law,
the prices herein shall be automatically revised to equal a price which is not in violation of said Law. If Buyer
shall have made payment before it is determined that there has been a violation, Vendor shall promptly refund
an amount of money equal to the difference between the price paid for the merchandise and a price which is not
in violation of said Law. In addition, without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Vendor agrees
that during all shortages, prorates, and/or other sales restrictions Buyer shall receive prompt notice and its equal
and fair share of Product at same prices and on the same terms as offered for sale by Vendor to others. Without
limiting the foregoing, under no circumstances will the price for a Product that is Ordered within one (1) year
of Vendor’s submission of a quote sheet for such Product be higher than the price set forth in such quote sheet.
6.2
Charge-Backs. Buyer’s obligations to make payments to Vendor pursuant to the Order shall
be subject to (i) any markdown, return or damaged goods allowance, advertising allowance, trade discount,
new store discount, reserve or any other allowance, discount or reserve normally set by Buyer in the course of
Buyer’s business and applicable to merchandise vendors, (ii) full credit for any Products that are defective or
otherwise do not meet the requirements of this Agreement, (iii) full credit for any Products that Buyer
determines are damaged prior to arriving at the applicable retail store as a result of improper packaging or
handling by Vendor, (iv) any handling or administrative fee charged by Buyer for the handling of nonconforming Products or shipments, (v) any applicable flat rate vendor performance charge backs as described
in “Schedule of Chargebacks” Section of Vendor Guidelines, and (vi) any late shipment penalty charges.
Buyer reserves the right to deduct from any amount due to Vendor for Products ordered any amount Vendor
owes Buyer with respect to any claims of any nature whatsoever in favor of Buyer against Vendor, whether or
not related to the Order and whether now existing or hereafter arising, and any assignee of Vendor’s right to
payment hereunder shall be subject to Buyer’s right under this Section. Receipt by Vendor of a payment that
reflects the taking by Buyer of offsetting credits is an acknowledgment by Vendor of the validity of the setoffs
or credits taken unless Vendor contests the setoffs or credits in writing or through EDI and, in either event,
within the earlier to occur of (i) thirty (30) days of Vendor’s receipt of such payment or (ii) thirty (30) days of
Vendor’s receipt of notice of Buyer’s intent to take such setoffs or credits.
6.3
Taxes. Except as otherwise provided herein, and unless prohibited by statute, Vendor shall
pay any Federal, State or local use tax, transportation excise tax, or other tax which may be imposed in
connection with the performance of the Order. If any manufacturer’s excise tax, or any part thereof, is
refunded to Vendor, then Vendor shall immediately pay Buyer the amount of such refund. For Products
purchased by Buyer for resale, Buyer acknowledges that it holds valid resale numbers in all states where Buyer
is licensed to do business (excluding states not recognizing sales for resale as sales tax exempt), and Vendor
shall furnish Buyer, when required by law, to the attention of Buyer’s Tax Department, the appropriate
exemption certificate which shall be completed by Buyer and returned to Vendor. Buyer’s “Blanket Resale
Certificate” may be substituted by Buyer, if permitted by law. If Vendor provides fixtures on which to display
Products or provides inventory management services, Vendor understands and agrees that it may have sales
and use tax nexus in any state or local jurisdiction where it provides such fixtures or services. Vendor shall be
responsible for collecting and remitting any state, local, parish or any other sales or use tax associated with
such fixtures or services provided under this Agreement. Any penalties or interest incurred by Buyer due to the
failure of Vendor to collect and remit the foregoing taxes (or any portion thereof) shall be reimbursed by
Vendor to Buyer. In the event that Buyer is found liable for sales tax under-collections while under a state or
local tax audit, Vendor shall indemnify Buyer for and to the extent that such tax liability, including penalties,
interest and related charges, is incurred in connection with the fixtures or services. Vendor shall register as a
sales tax vendor in all jurisdictions where required to do so by Law.

Buyer and the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party may be represented and actively participate through its own

allegations, actions, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, illnesses, judgments, settlements, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), regardless of the merits of such claims, that Buyer’s Marks
infringe the patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right of a third party. In the event a
