6. PAYMENT: Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay the purchase price of the fruit as defined in this Contract minus deductions to Seller two weeks
following the week of delivery, and provide Seller therewith an explanation and accounting thereof. 
 Pricing Adjustments. This Contract and the
pricing calculations contained herein are based upon the applicable tariffs, rules, regulations and laws of the Federal, State, and local governmental bodies for fruit purchases and processing as of the date of this Contract. The parties agree that
should any of these items change during the pendency of this Contract, the calculated price per pound of solids as provided herein shall also be changed to reflect the economic impact of the change, provided that the change is not offset with an
equal compensatory change to the Buyer in another area. In the event the economic impact cannot be agreed upon, the Contract balances may be cancelled by mutual agreement without further liability or obligation upon either party. 
 Taxes and Industry Assessments. Buyer shall have the right to deduct from any amount otherwise required to be paid hereunder by Buyer to Seller, and Seller shall
bear the entire cost of, any applicable grower taxes and industry assessments, including, without limitation, canker taxes and advertising taxes, as authorized and collected pursuant to the laws and regulations of the State of Florida and/or

 7.
SELLER’S OBLIGATION TO MEET QUALITY AND COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS: Seller shall perform all reasonable citrus caretaking and culture practices, generally accepted and approved, for growing the fruit to normal fruit merchantability and
maintain such quality until picking. Seller shall refrain from any practice that will cause the fruit to deteriorate in quality or quantity, regardless of type of purchase. Seller hereby warrants to Buyer and agrees to certify to Buyer that any
pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other agricultural chemicals used in the production of said orange crop or to which said orange crop is at any time exposed, have been used and 

  

 3 








 
applied in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations including the Federal Worker Protection Standard, and that any
applicable waiting period(s) have expired. Seller will cause the fruit to meet solids, acids, ratio and quality standards imposed by applicable State and Federal laws and regulations and Buyer’s individual plant requirements. If Seller fails or
refuses to meet the obligation of this paragraph, Buyer may terminate this Contract. 
 8. OBSTACLES TO PERFORMANCE: Neither Seller nor Buyer
shall be liable for any prevention or delay in its performance resulting, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from any cause beyond its reasonable control. Such causes may include acts of God, war, fire, freeze, hurricane, tornado,
windstorm, strike, labor dispute, embargo, quarantine, governmental restrictions on shipping and movement of fruit, inability to obtain transportation, and inability to obtain labor. In the event Seller is unable to pick and remove fruit due to
circumstances beyond its control, Buyer shall have the option to do so, and have the right of access, and charge Seller for such service at Buyer’s cost plus a reasonable service fee. Whenever Buyer has the option to pick and remove fruit and
is delayed in so doing by circumstances beyond its control, Buyer shall have a reasonable amount of additional time to pick and remove the fruit and the option to release the harvesting responsibilities back to the Seller without further recourse.
In the event of a natural calamity (including but not limited to freeze, drought, flood or storm), other sellers under agreement with Buyer may make demands on Buyer for fruit harvesting and/or processing that exceed Buyer’s capabilities. In
such event, Seller understands and agrees that Buyer shall allocate harvesting, deliveries and processing capacity, in its sole discretion, in a reasonable manner. Such allocation shall not constitute an inability or refusal by Buyer to perform, or
a breach of this Contract. 
 9. OWNERSHIP WARRANTY: Seller warrants that it has good title, right and authority to sell all of the fruit, free
and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and restrictions of any kind, and this shall be a continuing warranty during the term of this Contract. The individual signing this Contract on behalf of Seller represents that he/she has the authority to do so.

 10. REMEDIES: Due to the variable, uncertain, and unstable nature of citrus markets, and supply of fruit, Seller and Buyer recognize and
agree that a default or a breach in the respective party’s delivery or purchase obligations hereunder will result in damages to the other party that are uncertain and not easily susceptible to proof. It is the intent of Seller and Buyer to
liquidate damages in advance of any such default or breach. Accordingly, if Seller fails to deliver the fruit to Buyer or Buyer fails to purchase, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the party which has breached its obligations hereunder shall
pay to the other party as liquidated damages and not a penalty: 
  

	 	A.	the sum of $2.00 per ninety (90) pound box of fruit not so delivered or purchased, as the case may be; 

 Or 
  

	 	B.	if greater, in the case of Seller’s failure to deliver the fruit as provided herein, twenty percent (20%) of the price, or equivalent other consideration received by
Seller for the transfer, assignment, sale, or delivery of fruit to anyone other than Buyer. 

 Seller agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing
liquidated damages provision, that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy to Buyer, in the event that Seller fails to deliver the fruit to Buyer, and that Buyer shall be entitled, upon application to a Court of competent jurisdiction, to
obtain specific performance or injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Contract requiring the delivery of the fruit to Buyer, which specific performance or injunctive relief shall be in addition to Buyer’s right to liquidated
damages set forth above, and any other rights or remedies available to Buyer, it being the intent of the parties that all remedies specified herein shall be cumulative and in addition to other or further remedies provided by law or equity.
Acceptance of any delivery by Buyer after breach of any provision of this Contract by Seller shall not waive any rights or remedies of Buyer as a result of such breach or any subsequent breach. Seller shall be liable for any attorney’s fees
incurred by Buyer to enforce its rights under this Contract. 
 Seller agrees to indemnify and save Buyer harmless from any and all liabilities, loss, cost,
fines, penalties, damage or expense, including without limitation, attorney’s fees, arising out of the performance, nonperformance, or any breach by Seller, its employees, crew leaders or subcontractors, of any provision of this Contract.

limiting the foregoing requirements, Seller also shall provide Buyer with at least thirty-days (30) written notice prior to any cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance coverage. 
 12. BOND DISCLAIMER: A bond or certificate of deposit posted with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services does not necessarily insure
full payment of claims for any non-performance under this Contract. 
 13. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: Some of the citrus fruit products sold
hereunder may be used on a contract with the Federal Government to which would apply the provisions of the following orders or acts: Section 202 of Executive Order 11246; Section 402 of the Vietnam ERA Veterans Readjustment Act of 1974;
and Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; by specific reference, those sections are consequently incorporated herein. 
 14.
TRANSFER/ASSIGNMENT: This Contract may not be assigned or transferred by Seller without the written consent of Buyer. This Contract may be assigned or transferred by Buyer to any third party or successor in interest. In the event of the sale
of the groves or change in the identity or ownership of 10% or more of the ownership of the groves or principals or shareholders of Seller (if a partnership, corporation, LLC, etc.), Buyer may either terminate this Contract forthwith without
liability to Seller or may enforce this Contract against Seller or its successor in interest. 
 15. ENTIRE CONTRACT: This Contract constitutes
the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings of the parties. No waiver of the provisions of this Contract shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any
other provisions, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. This Contract may not be supplemented, altered, modified or amended or otherwise changed except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. The course of dealing or
course of performance between the parties hereto shall not commit either party to duties or obligations, which are not expressly stated by this Contract. 
 16. GOVERNING LAWS: The laws of the State of Florida will govern this Contract. If any part of this Contract is found to be void or unenforceable, the provisions herein shall be severable and those provisions, which are
lawful, shall remain in full force and effect.
