The Dealer may place Orders provided the aggregated amount of all
outstanding amounts due by the Dealer to the Distributor does not exceed
the Dealer’s agreed credit limit, and that none of its payables to the
Distributor are overdue. Where the Dealer neglects to make timely
payment for the Products, the Distributor has the right, at its discretion, to
cancel any open Orders.

The Dealer undertakes and commits to use its absolute best efforts to
purchase from the Distributor the minimum amounts of the Products stated
in Item 11 of Annex 4 (“Mininum Purchase Guarantee”). Should the Dealer
fail to comply with the Minimum Purchase Guarantee, the discount it is
entitled to as a “market model” may, in the absolute discretion of the
Distributor, be reduced by the percentage specified in Item 7 of Annex 4,
being the equivalent of the Distributor’s Pre-Order Discount. At the end of
each calendar year, a reconciliation of the total prior year purchases made by
the Dealer shall be done for purposes of calculating the correct discount rate
to be applied and a debit or credit note shall be issued by the Distributor to
the Dealer.

7.1.1 Delivery, Transportation and Insurance

on the agreed delivery date and to the address shown on the Sales Order
Confirmation, including arranging transportation and related insurance. All
relevant transportation and insurance costs by land or sea delivery for Orders
meeting minimum quantities shall be borne by the Distributor unless
otherwise agreed by both Parties.

16
The Dealer shall bear any extra costs associated with supplying the Products
to Authorised Outlets on an expedited basis, where this is not the result of
late delivery by the Distributor. In all cases, the costs associated with any
subsequent movement of the Products, such as for clearance, shall be borne
by the Dealer.

17
If delivery of a portion or all of the Products cannot be made on the delivery
date despite the Distributor’s best efforts, the Distributor shall promptly
notify the Dealer of the same and both Parties shall discuss how to respond
to the situation. The Distributor shall not be liable for any delays in the
delivery of the Products.

Upon receipt of the Products, an authorised representative of the Dealer


shall sign and date the transportation company delivery note (“Delivery
Note”). By signing and dating the Delivery Note, the Dealer shall be deemed
to have accepted (“Shipment Note”) and received delivery of the Products
appearing on the Distributor’s shipment note on the signing date. If there is
any damage to the packaging carton(s) of the received Products, the Dealer
shall immediately count the content of the damaged carton(s) in the
presence of a representative of the transportation company and note the
result of counting on the Delivery Note, and report the damages and
discrepancies between received Products and the Shipment Note within
seven (7) days after receipt of the above-said Products.

In case the Dealer finds defective Products, it shall handle this issue
according to the Distributor’s Defective Product Return Policy specified in
Item 27 of Annex 4.

Subject to the immediately following paragraph, the title to the ordered


Products transfers to the Dealer upon shipment out of the Distributor’s

Distributor’s financial year end. Risk of damage including destruction, loss,
change of quality and any other damage after the receipt by the Dealer of
the Products at the agreed delivery address shall be borne by the Dealer and
such risk of loss before the receipt of the Products by the Dealer shall be
borne by the Distributor.

by the Distributor in the Authorised Outlet and exclusively to retail
consumers.

The Dealer shall keep a selection of the Products according to the Product
launch calendar, in such types, sizes, colors and quantities to fully satisfy

18
consumer-demand and as required by the Distributor. For this purpose, the
Dealer agrees the Distributor may, at its discretion, provide the Dealer
with select styles of the Products, referred to as “points of differentiation”
(PODs), and/or a mandatory product range, under such terms and conditions
as may be agreed upon by the Parties. Notwithstanding this, the Distributor
may unilaterally determine up to that percentage of Product selection for the
Authorised Outlet as is specified in Item 13 of Annex 4 in order to ensure
proper adidas brand and technology representation in the Authorised Outlet.

The Dealer shall use its best efforts to maximise the turnover of the
Authorised Outlet and, achieve as a minimum turnover figure, the amounts

entitled to receive a Dealer bonus equal to the agreed percentage (as
specified in Item 12 of Annex 4) of the Dealer’s net purchases from the
Distributor. The Dealer bonus shall be paid by way of issuing a credit note
which will be applied against the next invoice issued to the Dealer pursuant
to any delivery of the Products.

Without prejudice to the Dealer's right to determine its retail prices, the
Distributor may, by taking advantage of its expert knowledge in evaluating
market conditions and developing marketing policy, continuously recommend
retail prices to the Dealer by Article or Model number (“Recommended Retail
Prices”) at which the Dealer shall retail and only sell the Products at these
Recommended Retail Prices. The Distributor shall not mark-down the
Product from the Recommended Retail Prices prior to 90 days of the date of
the introduction. In any situation where the Dealer believes that it would be
commercially desirable to sell the Products at less than the Recommended
Retail Prices prior to 90 days from their date of introduction, the Dealer shall
only mark-down the Products from the Recommended Retail Prices following
consultations with the Distributor and the reaching of a consensus with the
Distributor on the commercial desirability of such mark-downs from the
Recommended Retail Prices. In the event of a breach of this obligation:
i. The Dealer shall pay to the Distributor an amount equivalent to the
difference in value between the Recommended Retail Price and the
price at which the Dealer sold the Products.
ii. The Distributor shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement.

The maximum discount from the Recommended Retail Price for the sale of
Products in the Authorised Outlet shall be as specified in Item 16 of Annex 4.
Discount sales of Products may not exceed the percentage of the total
monthly sales in the Authorised Outlet as specified in Item 16 of Annex 4.

Save for the competitive brand(s) that the Dealer is currently selling and the
Distributor is fully aware of and has consented to the same or as otherwise
discussed with and agreed in writing by the Distributor, the Dealer shall

19
refrain from participating, directly or indirectly, in the distribution or
promotion of any product which is competitive with the Products, unless with
the Distributor’s prior written consent.

Should the Dealer become aware of, or reasonably suspect, any wholesale
activity with the Products by any unauthorised person, the Dealer shall
promptly inform the Distributor accordingly.

The selling or displaying of counterfeit Products by the Dealer in the


Authorised Outlet shall result, at the discretion of the Distributor, in the
immediate termination of this Agreement.

The Dealer shall use its best efforts to achieve the Authorised Outlet
performance targets specified in Item 11 of Annex 4.

Dealer may, at its expense and independently from the Distributor, carry
out advertising relating to the Authorised Outlet and/or the Products,
provided that the Distributor shall have given its prior written consent to
each advertising campaign. In addition, the Dealer shall also take part in the
promotion campaigns or events and merchandising organised by the
Distributor and notified to the Dealer in writing from time to time. No direct
advertising for discount Product sales is allowed.

The Dealer shall allocate the minimum percentage of its Gross Annual Sales
specified in Item 18 of Annex 4 for joint advertising and sales promotion
campaigns co-ordinated by the Distributor, from which the percentage of
Gross Annual Sales specified in Item 18 of Annex 4 shall be paid by the
Dealer to the Distributor’s Marketing Advertising Fund (“Fund”). The Fund
shall be used by Distributor to sustain its efforts in advertising for the Brand
and specifically for the Authorised Outlet. The contribution to the Fund shall
be billed monthly by the Distributor to the Dealer. The Dealer shall pay
the amount within ten (10) days from receipt of the statement of account.

Without prejudice to the generality of the above, the Distributor and the
Dealer hereby agree to conduct joint promotion and advertising campaigns
during the term of this Agreement. For this purpose, the Distributor and the
Dealer shall meet quarterly to discuss and agree on the budget, scale and
activities in connection with such joint promotion and advertising campaigns
and the contribution by each Party towards such budget or fees required to
mount the said joint promotion and advertising campaign.

20
The Dealer may only establish a web site or other form of presentation,
advertising and/or sale of the Products on the Internet with the written
approval of the Distributor. In any event, any advertising and promotional
activities on the internet must conform to the global advertising and

Agreement.
iv. The price at which the Distributor shall be entitled to repurchase the
Product stocks in good and merchantable condition from the Dealer,
will be a sum equivalent to the depreciated value of the Product stocks
according to their seasonality as calculated in accordance with the
adidas Group’s Global Accounting Procedures (see Item 28 of Annex 4
and Annex 5) prevailing as at the date when the Distributor
repurchases the Product stocks. The Distributor shall calculate the
depreciated value of the Product stocks repurchased by multiplying the
appropriate seasonality depreciation rate for the Product stocks by the

stock at the time of original purchase. The Distributor shall not
compensate the Dealer for any items of Product stock which are soiled
or not in merchantable condition.

procedures and depreciation rates from time to time from those given

written notice, the new rates of depreciation (if any) set out in such
written notice shall apply to any Products stocks repurchased by the
Distributor on termination of this Agreement.

collection and transport of the Product stocks repurchased by the
Distributor from the Dealer upon the termination of this Agreement.

In the event that the Distributor terminates this Agreement for any reason,
the Dealer shall not be entitled to any compensation, howsoever described,
from the Distributor in connection with the Dealer ceasing to be an
authorised Dealer in the Territory for the Products, and the Dealer now
irrevocably and unconditionally waives any and all rights which it might
otherwise have to claim such compensation.

10.6 No Entitlement to Damages for Economic Loss

Neither Party shall, in connection with the termination of this Agreement in


accordance with the terms hereof, have the right to claim any indemnity,
reimbursement or compensation for alleged loss of clientele, goodwill, loss of
profits or have any other liability for losses or damages resulting from the
expiration or termination of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that it
has decided and will decide on all investments, expenditures and
commitments required or contemplated by this Agreement, in full awareness
of the possibility of losses or damages resulting from the expiration and
termination of this Agreement, and it is willing to bear the risk thereof.

with its obligations upon the termination of this Agreement shall be borne
solely by the Dealer and the Dealer shall not be entitled to any
compensation from the Distributor.

Laws, if any, specified in Item 10 of Annex 1.

other than as a result of a breach of this Clause 11. The Dealer shall not,

34
except for the sole purpose of operating the Authorised Outlet in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, disclose or make available to any
person any Confidential Information. The Dealer's failure to comply with its
obligation to keep the Confidential Information confidential qualifies as a
breach of this Agreement, for which the Distributor is entitled to seek an
injunction, as well as claim damages and pursue any other legal remedies
available to the Distributor.

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for any reason


whatsoever, the provisions of this Clause 11 shall continue to bind the
Dealer after such termination. Specifically, the Dealer shall not divulge or
reveal to any third party or the press any information relating to any dispute
or disagreement rising from this Agreement or the operation of the
Authorised Outlet or the use of the Trademarks, Promotional Items, Know-
How or any other matter whatsoever between the Dealer and the
Distributor, and the Dealer shall ensure that its employees, officers,
consultants and agents to whom it is necessary to disclose the Confidential
Information shall keep such Confidential Information strictly confidential.
