In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Appointment. During the Term of this Agreement, BPU appoints Filler, and Filler agrees to serve, as BPU's warehouser, filler and related supply servicer on a non-exclusive basis for its health and beauty care and other products (“Products”). Filler may use Affiliates to provide the Services described herein. Filler must ensure that any Affiliate that provides Services complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2. Product Receipt and Warehousing.
2.1 Product Receipt.
(a) BPU shall enter purchase orders for Products to be supplied by BPU's vendors into the Purchase Order System. Filler will receive such delivered Products from BPU or BPU's vendors.
(b) Upon receipt, Filler will unload the Products, perform a quantity count and verification, conduct a damage check and assessment, process the receipt of inventory and warehouse the Products in accordance with Section 2.2.
2.2 Warehousing.
(a) During the Term of this Agreement, Filler shall use commercially reasonable means to receive, handle, store and protect the Products from damage, theft and other adverse events.
(b) Filler shall store the Products in a secured facility. Only Filler's employees and agents and BPU's authorized employees and agents will have access to the Products. Furthermore, BPU acknowledges that Filler provides warehousing services to third parties and that not all of the Products will be maintained in areas of the Filler’s Facilities which are separate from such third parties' inventory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Filler shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that BPU's inventory is secure and clearly designated as BPU's inventory.
(c) BPU shall have the right to inspect the Products, in whole or in part, upon receipt by Filler and shall have the right to reject such Products; provided, however, that Filler shall bear no liability for such rejected Products.

(d) Filler shall conduct cycle counts in order to assure the accuracy of the inventory on an as requested basis by BPU. If stock differences are found in any inventory, Filler will list gains as receipts, and losses as deductions, thus correcting the book record to agree with the actual Products on hand. These changes will be made on an ongoing basis; provided, however, that Filler shall promptly notify BPU in writing when such changes are made. Filler will take such additional physical inventories as reasonably requested by BPU upon advanced written notice of not less than two (2) Business Days, the actual costs of which shall be at BPU's expense.
