during the term of such Third Party Contracts (including any renewals thereunder) in accordance with the terms of such Third Party Contracts, (d) the Excluded Stores may be excluded by Retailer from the Final List during the term of such Third
Party Contracts (including any renewals thereunder) in accordance with the terms of such Third Party Contracts, and (e) Licensee shall not have any rights in or to conduct the Promotion in such Excluded Stores during the term of such Third
