Continuing Commodity Guaranty ("CCG")

Any and all suppliers of Safeway must execute a Continuing Commodity Guaranty prior to becoming an approved Safeway supplier.

This is a legally binding agreement detailing the terms and conditions of our partnership. It is important that you understand all the terms and conditions within this document. This CCG should be filled out in its entirety, dated, and signed by the appropriate designate, as described below:

• If supplier is an individual, that individual must sign as proprietor and provide a trade name;
• If supplier is a partnership, one general partner must sign in the partnership name;
• If supplier is a corporation, a duly authorized officer must sign and indicate his or her title.

Safeway’s CCG contains sections on various business functions and processes that will determine our expectations in this business relationship; therefore, we advise that you fully review and consider that commitment. Appendix 3

Certificate of Liability Insurance ("COI")

Safeway will require certificates of insurance underwritten by insurance companies rated "A-" or better by A.M. Best Company. Policy limits cannot be reduced, altered or canceled until after 30-days notice has been submitted to Safeway. It is imperative that you submit an updated Certificate of Liability Insurance whenever coverage is renewed or materially altered.

Safeway will continuously monitor compliance with its minimum insurance requirements as specified in the CCG, Section XV, Paragraph A. Failure to meet such requirements will result in serious consequences to our business relationship, including, in Safeway’s sole discretion, discontinuation of purchase orders, discontinuation of warehouse receiving, and, potentially, termination of our relationship.

The Certificate of Liability Insurance ("COI" formerly known as "POI") should reflect at least the following minimum coverage and limits:

• General Liability: $2 Million for Each Occurrence.
• Automobile Liability (if applicable): $2 Million in Automobile Liability Insurance per Accident.
• Workers Compensation & Employer’s Liability: $2 Million for Each Accident.

Safeway may require higher limits and/or different coverage for certain products and/or operations.

Broad Form Vendor’s Endorsement (ISO Form CG 2015)

This form endorses supplier’s liability policy to name Safeway as an additional insured. As is mentioned in Section XV, paragraph B in the Continuing Commodity Guaranty and Indemnity Agreement ("CCG"), a supplier is required to supply this form or industry equivalent, in conjunction with the Certificate of Liability Insurance ("COI").

Company’s Invoice Form

In order to ensure that your payments are properly received and processed, Safeway requires a sample invoice that can be processed by Safeway Accounts payable. Please note that while the sample invoice should not detail items or the actual need for payment, it must clearly state your company name, as it should appear on the payment check. Additionally, the sample invoice must have a current "remit to" address and payment terms. Invoices sent without this information may cause payment delays.
