[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED

 

b. if OHL shall (i) fail to employ a work force sufficient to adequately perform the Services or (ii) fail to increase such force to such extent necessary to perform the Services and as reasonably requested by CLIENT and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of notice from CLIENT of said breach; or

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED

 

d. if OHL has leased or purchased, with the approval of CLIENT any real property, or constructed improvements thereon, to perform the Services (including any lease or purchase of real property where OHL provides services to other customers), CLIENT agrees to continue to pay for such space at the Agreed Rate for the remainder of the Term.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the damages to OHL in the foregoing circumstances would be difficult or impossible to accurately estimate, (ii) the Termination Amount has been negotiated by the Parties not as a penalty but as a good faith attempt by the Parties hereto to arrive at a reasonable estimate of such damages and (iii) in any action against CLIENT for the payment of the Termination Amount, the reasonableness of such amount shall be presumed. Upon payment of costs for capital, equipment or supplies, ownership of the capital, equipment, and supplies will transfer to the CLIENT. CLIENT will be responsible for removal and transportation costs of all equipment.

OHL agrees in good faith to, in its best efforts, find an appropriate tenant to occupy CLIENT’s vacated space - either as a result of termination for cause by OHL, or termination for convenience by CLIENT - and upon doing so would remunerate CLIENT of that Storage Cost paid pursuant to Section 7(C)(1)(b) and/or 7(C)(1)(d) on a pro-rata basis with respect to both space and timing.

(1) In addition to any other payments that may be required under this Agreement, in the event that CLIENT provides written notice that terminates this Agreement at the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term as required by Section 1, OHL shall recover from CLIENT all unamortized portions of approved equipment costs (stationary and non-stationary) guided by Exhibit D, regardless of whether such costs extend beyond the Term of this Agreement. OHL shall provide CLIENT documents establishing the purchase price of such equipment and systems, and amortization calculations establishing the unamortized cost of such equipment and systems.

(2) Except for a termination by OHL in accordance with section 1 (notice of non-renewal with no less than 270 days notice) or Section 7(A)(1), or 7(B)(3), OHL will not reduce, suspend or cease its performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement until OHL has received (i) a preliminary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief or remedy, (ii) a court order, or (iii) a ruling from a court of competent jurisdiction that Client has breached this Agreement and such reduction, suspension and cessation is warranted.

(3) Additionally, at CLIENT’s discretion, OHL agrees to help (a) load the equipment/ inventory onto trucks at the same rates available in the agreement; (b) provide CLIENT a right of way to remove the inventory and equipment; or (c) some combination of the two.

OHL will provide notice to CLIENT, provided that the condition, infrastructure, and location of such facilities are equal to or better than the condition of the Warehouse, and there is no impact to the operation. OHL is responsible for removing any materials (e.g. inventory or racking) left behind from any previous clients at OHL’s expense, if OHL is moving or re-locating CLIENT’s operation at OHL’s discretion. In the event that such a move should occur as a result of CLIENT’s growth in excess of original plans and modeling, OHL and CLIENT agree to negotiate in good faith such moving expenses at that time.

 

  C. Removal

If as a result of a quality or condition of the Products, which OHL had no notice of at the time of deposit, the Products are a hazard to other property, the Warehouse or to persons, OHL, on reasonable notification to CLIENT, may dispose of said Products in any lawful manner and shall incur no liability by reason of such disposal.

Exhibit F – SERVICE METRICS & KPI’S

Receiving

During each month, at least [*]% of CLIENT provided merchandise delivered at OHL’s designated fulfillment center which is delivered by 12:00 noon (Location Time) shall be inspected and placed into stock by the close of the Business Day two days following delivery at OHL’s designated fulfillment center. Product unable to be received, due to Merchandising Team awaiting sample would not pertain to this KPI.

For purposes of this receiving service level standard: (i) delivery will be deemed to have occurred and the delivery measurement period will begin when inbound carrier confirms delivery of scheduled shipment (i.e. when product is delivered to OHL), (ii) deliveries of merchandise which is not listed on the purchase order or ASN submitted to OHL for receiving purposes will not be included in this service level calculation. Furthermore, OHL will default to CLIENT’s direction on receipt processing order.

Outbound Orders

Standard Shipping Cycle Time. In stock order shipment of all Fulfillable Orders (as defined below) that are received by OHL by 12:00 noon (Location Time) will be shipped: [*]% on targeted ship date.

Returns (RMA) Processing Cycle Time

[*]% of returns will be put away into stock, from receipt to completion of all required inventory transactions, if received by noon (Location Time), by close of the Business Day following receipt.

Order Accuracy

During each month, [*]% of all outbound shipments will contain the correct SKU, the correct quantity of merchandise and the correct shipping label for that Order.

Inventory Accuracy

*GOAL METRIC (Under evaluation and to be reviewed at first Quarterly Business Review): [*]%—OHL will be responsible to keep inventory accuracy at [*]%. This is to include quantity and location accuracy.

**CURRENT EXPECTATION: Inventory will be monitored and reported to Client thru a documented perpetual cycle count program (count requirements to be defined by Client and OHL).

Service Level Reporting

OHL agrees to provide KPI reporting to CLIENT on a weekly basis in format agreed upon by both CLIENT and OHL. KPI results will be tracked in a weekly, monthly, quarterly and VTD format.

Variable Cost Per Unit – CPU

OHL will measure and track actual Cost Per Unit Shipped, which is to be defined as the sum of the variable component (i.e. labor, variable expenses) of OHL’s invoice to CLIENT divided by total units shipped during that same time period. OHL will report this metric to CLIENT on a monthly basis, and agrees to target a [*]% improvement (reduction) in the CPU each quarter.

Variable Cost Per Unit – Guardrails

OHL agrees to maintain Variable CPU performance metric between [*]% and [*]% of the below modeled targets. OHLS accountability to this Variable CPU performance metric is contingent upon CLIENT’s forecasting performance meeting the criteria set forth in the following “General Provisions” section.

 

     Y1

The above table is subject to periodic updates during QBR’s and business reviews as actual volumes are realized. Furthermore, OHL and CLIENT agree to discuss this metric in-depth at the first QBR and evaluate the Institution of pain-share/gain-share practices, as well as evaluating actual realized volumes vs. modeled volumes and updating Variable CPU projections and targets accordingly.

Future KPIs to be Discussed Prior to First QBR:

 

    Missing %
    Damage %

General Provisions

The above service level standards will not apply during the first sixty (60) days after the Fulfillment Service Commencement Date, and thereafter will be measured on a retail calendar month basis during the remainder of the Fulfillment Attachment Term. The above service level standard shall not apply to any services other than the Fulfillment Services, and shall not apply to service performance issues (i) caused by factors outside of OHL’s reasonable control, including as a result of any actions or inactions of the CLIENT or any third party not within OHL’s control, and (ii) during any period that the CLIENT’s transaction volume forecasts are not between [*]% and [*]% of the actual transaction “locked” volumes during the applicable period.

CLIENT will provide a rolling 6 week forecast which includes a 2 week lock at the weekly level to allow for resource planning.

If OHL fails during any month to meet any service level standard as described in this Exhibit D at a level that for which an “*” is noted, such month shall be considered a “Fulfillment Service Level Standard Failed Month” with respect to that individual service level standard. OHL will reasonably determine with the CLIENT the root cause for the failure and identify action plan being taken designed to prevent the reoccurrence of such failure during the remainder of the Fulfillment Attachment Term.

CLIENT and OHL mutually agree that they will meet at Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR’s) to continually analyze the business and evaluate the application of these KPI’s.
