Exhibit 10.1
SUPPLY AGREEMENT
This Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between PGT Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation, and Cardinal LG Company, a Wisconsin corporation (“Cardinal”, and together with PGT, the “Parties”) on this 22nd day of September, 2017.
WHEREAS, PGT historically has manufactured at its own production facility the glass products described and listed onAnnex A hereto (the “Current Products”), which are used as a component in the doors manufactured by PGT;
WHEREAS, PGT has agreed to convey and sell to Cardinal and Cardinal has agreed to purchase from PGT the equipment that PGT historically has used to manufacture and process the Current Products, all pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated September 22, 2017, entered into between the Parties;
WHEREAS, PGT now desires to purchase the Products (as defined below) from Cardinal (as opposed to PGT making those Products at PGT’s own facilities) as well as to include Cardinal in requests for proposals and bid invitations issued by PGT for future glass components for doors that are manufactured by PGT, and Cardinal desires to manufacture and sell such items to PGT, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to memorialize in a written agreement the terms and conditions that are to govern the business arrangement described above;
NOW THEREFORE, in exchange for the mutual agreements, benefits and promises described in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by both Parties hereto, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
| 1. | Purchase and Sale of Products. |
| (a) | During the Term (as defined below) of this Agreement, PGT shall purchase from Cardinal and Cardinal shall manufacture for, and sell to, PGT all of PGT’s requirements for Current Products and all future laminated glass components for doors which Cardinal is capable of manufacturing that include a PVB or Kuraray SG (also known as Trosifol® SG and formerly sold under the tradenames SentryGlas® and Butacite®) interlayer (collectively, the “Products”), subject to PGT’s rights to source the Products from other companies and/or terminate this Agreement before its expiration, in accordance with the express terms hereof. The Parties may add new or modified products to the Products covered by this Agreement by mutual written agreement. PGT shall have the right to remove products from the list of Products where PGT no longer requires that product for its production processes, by giving Cardinal 90 days prior written notice. PGT further covenants and agrees that it will not take any action to circumvent its obligations, as expressly set forth herein, to purchase glass components for doors from Cardinal and PGT will use its commercially reasonable efforts to require any |
1
| transferee of PGT’s door business during the Term to assume PGT’s obligation to purchase glass components for doors from Cardinal in order to preserve Cardinal’s right to supply such requirements in the same fashion as if no such transfer had occurred, and Cardinal shall promptly consent to any such transfer or assignment of this Agreement to such transferee or assignee, and Cardinal shall not unreasonably delay, deny or withhold such consent. |
| (b) | With respect to all types of glass components for doors other than the Products, PGT covenants and agrees that PGT will include Cardinal in any request for proposal or bidding invitation to supply such components to PGT (except where PGT has a need for any new type of glass component for doors as a result of PGT acquiring another business, or the assets of another business, and supply agreements covering all of PGT’s requirements for such newly-needed glass components already exist between that acquired business and a supplier other than Cardinal), and where PGT reasonably concludes that Cardinal has the ability to supply PGT with all of PGT’s requirements for such glass components for doors or a quantity at least equal to an alternative supplier to be engaged by PGT, that fully satisfy PGT’s specifications for such components and the lead time required by PGT at least as well as an alternative supplier to be engaged by PGT, and at a competitive price through such request for proposal or bidding process, then PGT will not manufacture for itself, or acquire such glass components from any source other than Cardinal, to the extent of Cardinal’s supply so long as Cardinal is willing and able to timely supply PGT’s requirements for such glass components on the terms of this Supply Agreement provided Cardinal is able to meet or exceed the respective supply to be internally or externally sourced. |
| 2. | Purchase Orders. |
| (a) | PGT shall order Products from Cardinal pursuant to and in accordance with separate PGT standard purchase orders or other related documentation (collectively, the ’’Purchase Orders”). Such Purchase Orders shall specify quantities of the Products, shipping instructions, delivery date(s), and detailed instructions for the delivery of the Products (with release schedules, delivery orders or equivalent notices) and no other terms or conditions. Upon a Purchase Order being executed, or acceptance thereof confirmed electronically, by the Parties, the provisions of such Purchase Order respecting quantities of the Products, shipping instructions, delivery date(s), and detailed instructions for the delivery of the Products (with release schedules, delivery orders or equivalent notices) shall be binding upon Cardinal and PGT, and shall be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. |
| (b) | Cardinal will accept and confirm, or reject, each Purchase Order in writing to PGT within two business days of receipt of the Purchase Order from PGT. |
2
| (c) | Products shipped to PGT that exceed the quantity indicated in an accepted Purchase Order by more than five percent may be returned to Cardinal by PGT at Cardinal’s cost and expense. |
| (d) | No term or condition of any Purchase Order submitted by PGT that contradicts or is inconsistent with this Agreement, or creates additional or new duties and obligations for Cardinal, will become part of this Agreement unless an authorized officer of Cardinal agrees to such other term or condition as an amendment to this Agreement. No term or condition of any Purchase Order acceptance or acknowledgment submitted by Cardinal that contradicts or is inconsistent with this Agreement will become part of this Agreement unless an authorized officer of PGT agrees to such other term or condition as an amendment to this Agreement. |
| 3. | Forecasting. PGT shall provide to Cardinal at the beginning of each month a rolling, twelve-month purchasing forecast, in such detail as may be reasonably requested by Cardinal, but generally with the content and form of the forecasts already being provided to Cardinal by PGT pursuant to that certain Supply Agreement between the Parties, dated December 15, 2014, as amended on January 1, 2017. All Product purchasing quantity estimates and forecasts provided by PGT are for Cardinal’s planning purposes only, and do not and shall not constitute an order or purchasing commitment from PGT. |
| 4. | Reserve Supply of Products. Cardinal will keep a reserve supply of Products, in such quantities and types as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the Parties, to reduce lead times, which shall be stored at Cardinal’s Mooresville, North Carolina plant and Ocala, Florida warehouse, or such other locations as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (collectively, the “Stocking Locations”). PGT and Cardinal will review quarterly the mix, types and quantities of Products at the Stocking Locations, to determine whether any adjustments to the mix, types and quantities of stocked Products should be made. PGT and Cardinal agree to work together to reduce such quantities prior to the Products becoming discontinued or slow-moving. PGT will be responsible for purchasing all of the Products including related materials (e.g., raw cut glass and raw tempered glass) kept at the Stocking Locations to the extent such items have been held (on afirst-in,first-out basis) for ninety (90) consecutive days, so long as PGT approved the mix, types and quantities of Products at the Stocking Locations, and the amount of related materials that Cardinal orders and keeps at each Stocking Locations is commercially reasonable, given the mix, quantities and types of Products that PGT and Cardinal have agreed to stock at each Stocking Location (i.e., Cardinal will not keep an unreasonably large inventory of related materials, such as raw glass, at the Stocking Locations). The applicable price for such Products is Cardinal’s then applicable price to PGT for the Products, pursuant to the pricing terms of this Agreement, and the applicable price for the related materials is the then applicable price on the price sheet between Cardinal FG and Cardinal CG, respectively, and PGT for such materials. |
3
| 5. | Product Deliveries. |
| (a) | The Products shall be delivered to the delivery locations, and in the manner specified in, an accepted Purchase Order. |
| (b) | With each shipment of Products, Cardinal will deliver a packing list containing the following information: (i) purchase order number; (ii) PGT part number; (iii) quantity ordered/quantity shipped; (iv) material certificate, as may be agreed to in writing; and (v) a material safety data sheet, when requested by PGT. |
| (c) | Lead times shall be as set forth onAnnex B hereto, or as otherwise agreed upon in writing between the Parties. |
| (d) | Cardinal agrees to thekey-performance-indicator set forth inAnnex B hereto, regardingon-time deliveries and order fulfillment accuracy and completeness, and the failure to do so shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Cardinal, which if not remedied within thirty days shall give PGT the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms stated inAnnex B hereto. Alternatively, in such situation, PGT shall have the right to keep this Agreement in effect, but shall also have the right to source all or a portion of PGT’s requirements for the Products, or products substantially similar to the Products, from suppliers other than Cardinal until such time as Cardinal has consistently met or exceeded the key performance indicator set forth inAnnex B. |
| (e) | In Purchase Orders, PGT shall specify whether Products are to be picked up by PGT or shipped by Cardinal via third party carrier. Products picked up by PGT shall be F.O.B. Cardinal’s dock. Products shipped via third party carrier shall be F.O.B. PGT’s Nokomis Plant/North Venice production facilities. As applicable, Cardinal will arrange for and pay the third party carrier, but will then invoice PGT for the freight at the agreed upon freight surcharge in effect at that time. The applicable freight surcharge will be the only freight cost to PGT for Products shipped to PGT by third party carriers. Title and risk of loss will pass at the specified F.O.B. point. Certain other applicable terms respecting freight are set forth inAnnex C. |
| 6. | Pricing; Invoicing; Payment Terms; Rebate. |
| (a) | The undelivered, F.O.B. Cardinal facility, prices that PGT will pay Cardinal for the Current Products are set forth onAnnex A hereto. Other Products will be priced in a manner consistent with the pricing applicable to the Current Products. Prices for the Products will be adjusted only in the manner described inAnnex C hereto, and only when such an adjustment is permitted pursuant to the terms ofAnnex C. In addition to the prices described in the preceding sentences, PGT will pay Cardinal, where applicable, the energy and freight fuel surcharges and stocked-product picking fees, set forth inAnnex C hereto or calculated in the manner set forth inAnnex C. |
4
| (b) | Except for any applicable energy and freight fuel surcharges or stocked product picking fees set forth or described in Annex C, no additional surcharges, packaging, loading, handling, administrative or processing fees or additional charges of any kind will be paid by PGT, without the prior written agreement of PGT’s Vice President and General Manager. |
| (c) | The control of Cardinal’s materials, labor and overhead costs are Cardinal’s responsibility. Cardinal acknowledges and agrees that Cardinal shall not have any right to increase the prices PGT pays for the Products due to an increase in Cardinal’s materials, labor or overhead costs, but rather, that all adjustments in the prices for the Products shall be made only pursuant to the price adjustment terms set forth inAnnex C. |
| (d) | The Parties agree that productivity, efficiency and quality improvements by Cardinal should be continuous elements and requirements of this Agreement, and that the Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith to achieve such improvements. |
| (e) | Cardinal shall render invoices separately for each delivery of Products and corresponding Purchase Order, and shall include PGT’s part number, type and quantities of Products ordered, type and quantity of Products shipped orpicked-up, unit price and extended value. Cardinal shall provide invoices to PGT via electronic transmission or fax within one business day after the invoice date. |
| (f) | Payment terms shall be 2% 10th and 25th, net 30 days, calculated from the date of the invoice. Cardinal reserves the right to charge interest at a rate equivalent to 1% per month on amounts not paid when due and, after providing at least 10 business days prior notice of nonpayment of undisputed amounts past due, suspend its performance under this Agreement. |
| (g) | This Agreement is independent of any other agreement between PGT and Cardinal and the amount of Product purchases invoiced to PGT for the Products covered by this Agreement shall not be included in the amount of “Product sales invoiced to PGT” for purposes of any rebates owed to PGT pursuant to Annex 4 to that certain First Amendment to Supply Agreement, dated December 15, 2014. |
| 7. | New Technology. Cardinal agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to include within the Products any new, technologically superior glass components for doors that may be requested from time to time by PGT, and to incorporate into its production processes any new technological advancements or equipment likely to improve the durability and quality of the Products. |
5
| 8. | Representations and Warranties of Cardinal |
| (a) | Cardinal is a corporation which is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin, and has full corporate power and corporate authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate effect the transactions contemplated hereby, and has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by all necessary corporate action. |
| (b) | This Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of Cardinal, and is enforceable against Cardinal in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). |
| (c) | The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Cardinal and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) result in a breach or violation of any provision of any of Cardinal’s organizational documents (e.g., articles of incorporation orby-laws) or in a violation of any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, order, judgment, decree, rule or regulation of any court or any governmental agency or body applicable to Cardinal, (ii) violate or result in a material breach of or constitute an event of default (or an event which might, upon the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, constitute an event of default) under any provision of, result in acceleration or cancellation of any obligation under, or give rise to a right by any party to terminate or amend its obligations under, any mortgage, deed of trust, conveyance to secure debt, note, loan, indenture, lien, contract or governmental certification, license or permit (other than any governmental permits for which transfer is not permitted by law or the issuing authority), instrument, order, judgment or decree or other material arrangement or commitment. |
| (d) | No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any other party or any federal, state or local government agency or entity is required by Cardinal in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the performance of Cardinal of its obligations under this Agreement. |
| (e) | Cardinal represents and warrants that, upon transfer of ownership of Products at the agreed upon F.O.B. point, Cardinal shall pass to PGT, and PGT shall receive, good and marketable title to such Products, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, pledges, charges, mortgages, deeds of trusts, options, or other encumbrances of any kind. |
6
| (f) | Cardinal warrants that the Products shall meet and satisfy all of the warranties set forth inAnnex D hereto or as otherwise agreed upon in writing between the Parties from time to time, and also that the Products shall fully satisfy all of the specifications for each Product, as set forth inAnnexD-1 hereto (the “Specifications”), or such specifications as otherwise agreed upon in writing between the Parties from time to time (collectively, the “Warranties”). |
| 9. | Inspection of Products; Acceptance or Rejection. Readily apparent breakage and other readily apparent nonconformity of the Product must be noted by PGT on the Bill of Lading signed and provided to the carrier upon receipt of the shipment by PGT with a copy of such Bill of Lading provided by PGT to Cardinal within twenty-four hours of receipt of the Products if damage is noted on the Bill of Lading.

However, Cardinal acknowledges that PGT may, from time to time, ask Cardinal to participate in Quality Assurance evaluations. Upon PGT’s request, Cardinal shall provide PGT with Cardinal’s Quality Assurance Manual, if any. Periodic supplier performance evaluations may be performed, the purpose of which will be to assess Cardinal’s quality as it relates to, among other things,on-time deliveries, packaging, service/warranty, andnon-conforming materials as reported through PGT’s Defective Material Reporting Process. Nothing in this Section 11 is an agreement by Cardinal to change the terms and conditions of sale set forth in this Agreement, including pricing terms. |

With respect to Products covered by accepted Purchaser Orders, Cardinal shall not implement any Modifications without PGT’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If PGT does not respond to Cardinal’s notification of a proposed Modification within ninety (90) days after receiving the same, Cardinal may reject future orders for the Products that would be affected by such Modification. If such Modification is not accepted/consented to by PGT, Cardinal shall not implement such Modification, but PGT shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any requested Modification, so long as the Modification is not likely to degrade, harm or lower the quality, aesthetics, durability, or other characteristics of the Products that would be affected by the Modification. |
