Supplier will notify Tropicana in writing of any acreage sold or purchased by October 1st of each Crop Year.  Any sale or purchase by Supplier of any acreage after October 1st will be applied to the following Crop Year and will not affect Supplier’s obligations for the current Crop Year unless agreed to in a writing signed by both parties.  Acreage that is being sold pursuant to this Section 1(e) shall, upon its transfer from Supplier to a third party, be removed from the operation and effect of this Agreement.  Similarly, acreage that is being purchased pursuant to this Section 1(e) shall, upon its purchase by Supplier from a third party, become a part of this Agreement and be considered and treated as part of the Groves.

(b)    Tropicana will not be required to accept any oranges that are not identified in Schedule A.  Tropicana will not be required to accept any Ambersweets, Robles, Murcotts, Tangelos or Navel oranges, and, except as set forth in the immediately following paragraph, will not be required to accept any fruit that does not meet the standards of quality set forth herein.
(c )    Tropicana shall allow Supplier [***] to be outside of the above stated minimum standards for ratio and brix requirements  with no discount for these loads.  [***] shall be purchased by Tropicana (so long as such fruit meets the minimum state standards), but Tropicana may discount the price paid by [***] cents per pound solid for [***] with (i) a [***] degree brix or lower, (ii) a minimum brix to acid ratio of [***] or lower or (iii) a maximum brix to acid ratio of [***] or greater.


(d)    Supplier will use best harvesting practices and minimize trash in loads, whether mechanically picked or hand picked.  Tropicana will not be required to accept any loads of oranges containing excessive trash or debris, including, but not limited to, bottles, cans, limbs, branches and rocks. The oranges delivered to Tropicana’s processing plants will be graded by Tropicana. Tropicana will determine the culling rate applicable to such oranges; provided that such culling rate shall be determined in the manner described in Schedule E attached hereto or as otherwise mutually agreed to by Tropicana and Supplier. 
(e)    PepsiCo is a global company with global use for the oranges we buy.  Therefore, Grower agrees that in addition to following all local, state and federal guidelines for pesticide usage, Grower will not use any pesticide containing chlorpyrifos in the groves.  PepsiCo reserves the right to monitor pesticide compliance, including testing of oranges purchased.  In addition, as new pesticides are added to banned lists by regulatory agencies outside the United States that are used for the growing of citrus in Florida and may impact the commercial viability of products derived from citrus, Grower agrees to work with PepsiCo to identify a mutually agreeable solution to discontinue, replace or segregate the use of the specific pesticide(s).
		
	5.
	Determination of Type and Quality of Oranges Received:


Any determination as to classification or quantity of oranges received, or as to pounds of solids will be as reported by daily tests made by authorized government inspectors, stationed at Tropicana or at the plant to which Tropicana has directed delivery to be made. 


		
	6.
	Picking and Delivery of Oranges: 


(a)    Fruit will be delivered to Tropicana’s plant in Bradenton and Fort Pierce or such other place as Tropicana may designate.  Delivery will be at the sole cost and expense of Supplier.  


6







(b)    The fruit is to be picked by Supplier and delivered by Supplier to a Tropicana processing plant or to a processing plant designated by Tropicana at the sole cost of Supplier. Tropicana shall have the unrestricted right to determine hours of operation, including the dates of opening and closing its processing plants. [***]  If Tropicana designates a processing plant closer to the grove where the fruit being delivered was harvested than Tropicana’s closest processing plant, then Supplier shall, within sixty (60) days after demand therefore by Tropicana, reimburse Tropicana for the savings in hauling expense realized by Supplier in delivering the fruit to such other closer processing plant. The Tropicana processing plant closest to each grove is listed in Schedule D.
(c)    Hauling expenses for the purpose of the reimbursements pursuant to section 6(b) above will be determined by using Schedule D.  This calculation sheet will be updated each season by October 30 for E/Mids and Feb 1 for Valencia oranges.  
(d)    On or before October 1st of each year this Agreement is in effect, Supplier shall provide, either in writing or by similar electronic communication, to Tropicana an estimated number of weight boxes of E/Mid oranges and of Valencia oranges (a “Box” defined as ninety pounds of unprocessed Oranges), which Supplier anticipates selling to Tropicana under this Agreement during the upcoming Crop Year. Such estimates are for the convenience of the parties and are neither maximums nor minimums to be delivered by Supplier or purchased by Tropicana, it being understood that the actual volumes shall be determined solely by actual production from the Groves, and that Supplier’s failure to provide such estimates does not negate Tropicana’s obligation to purchase nor Supplier’s obligation to deliver the Oranges produced by the Groves.
(e)    Supplier understands and agrees that in the event of a natural calamity (including but not limited to, freeze, drought, flood or storm) or climate conditions that are causing abnormal fruit drop, other suppliers under agreement with Tropicana may make demands on Tropicana for fruit processing that exceed Tropicana’s processing capabilities. In such event, Tropicana shall have the right to allocate deliveries subject, however, to the following:
(i)    [***]
(f)    No oranges will be delivered after July 15 of any growing season or such date established by Tropicana and communicated to Supplier at least fourteen (14) days prior to such date, without the written consent of Tropicana.

	13.
	Remedies in Certain Cases:


Due to the variable, uncertain, and unstable nature of citrus markets, and supply of oranges, Supplier and Tropicana recognize and agree that a default or a breach in certain of Supplier’s obligations hereunder will result in damages that are uncertain and not easily susceptible to proof. It is the intent of Supplier and Tropicana to liquidate damages in advance of any such default or breach. Accordingly, if Supplier fails to deliver the oranges to Tropicana, Supplier will pay as liquidated damages and not a penalty, and Tropicana will have the right of set off against any monies owed Supplier for the greatest of:
		
	(i)
	the sum of [***] per ninety (90) pound box of oranges not delivered to Tropicana;


		
	(ii)
	[***] of the price, or equivalent other consideration received by Supplier for the transfer, assignment, sale, or delivery of oranges to anyone other than Tropicana; or


		
	(iii)
	the difference between the gross price per pound solid under this Agreement, and the gross price per pound solid of oranges procured by Tropicana to replace the oranges not delivered to Tropicana.


In addition to liquidated damages, Tropicana will have the right to terminate this Agreement.  In the event of termination, compensation for all oranges that Tropicana would have received from Supplier, up to the approximate volume set forth in Section 1(b), for the remainder of the Term, will be included as liquidated damages.  
		
	14.
	Governing Law; Venue:


(a)    This Agreement will be governed by and construed in connection with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict of laws principles.


12







(b)    Tropicana and Supplier agree that should legal action be brought to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the state and federal courts in Bradenton, Manatee County, Florida have exclusive jurisdiction. It is also agreed that should either party be required to bring legal action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to its reasonable attorney’s fees, together with all costs and expenses of litigation, up to and including appeals.

(c)    For purposes of interpreting and enforcing this Agreement, if Tropicana assigns this Agreement, Tropicana’s assignee shall thereupon have the rights and obligations granted to and imposed on Tropicana under this Agreement, and the use of the word “Tropicana” in this Agreement shall thereafter be a reference to Tropicana’s assignee.  If Supplier assigns this Agreement or sells the Groves or a portion thereof and this Agreement remains in effect as to the portion sold, Supplier’s permitted assignee or transferee, as the case may be, shall thereupon have the rights and obligations granted to and imposed on Supplier under this Agreement, and the use of the word “Supplier” in this Agreement shall thereafter be a reference to Supplier’s assignee or transferee; provided, however, the foregoing provisions shall not apply to a transfer of Groves sold by Supplier pursuant to the terms of Section 1(e) of this Agreement in which case such acreage sold pursuant to Section 1(e) shall, upon its transfer from Supplier to a third party, be removed from the operation and effect of this Agreement.  Except for an assignment pursuant to 


13
