NOW THEREFORE in consideration of their respective rights and obligations as set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and receipt of which are acknowledged, PNC and Supplier agree as follows:

1 Supply of Ingredients

1.1 Supplier will provide such materials to PNC or its Third Party Manufacturers (TPMs) as are specified in any Master Purchase Commitment or any other purchase orders that the Parties may execute from time to time during the term of this Agreement (Ingredients). Ingredients will be produced at Supplier's facilities listed in a Master Purchase Commitment, or any other of Supplier's facilities approved in advance, in writing by PNC.

1.2 PNC or its TPMs will place specific orders for Ingredients from Supplier by issuing a purchase order that specifies, at minimum, the item, quantities, price, delivery dates, and delivery and payment terms (each a Purchase Order).

1.3 PNC and Supplier may enter certain Master Purchase Commitments from time to time during the Term of this Master Supply Agreement. Such Master Purchase Commitments and any Purchase Orders issued against such Commitments shall be subject exclusively to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event the terms of any Master Purchase Commitment conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Master Purchase Commitment shall control.

1.4 Supplier will receive Purchase Orders by telephone, USPS, overnight courier, email, and fax transmission, Monday through Friday except on state or nationally recognized bank holidays. Purchase Orders not received by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time are considered to be received on the following

business day. Supplier will confirm or reject Purchase Orders within [***] of receipt of the Purchase Order. Orders not rejected in writing within such time will be deemed confirmed and accepted by Supplier. Each Purchase Order issued by PNC or its TPMs and accepted by Supplier shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Additional terms included in acknowledgments, standard terms and conditions, or any other documents or communications exchanged by the Parties in connection with the sale or purchase of any Ingredients shall be void and of no force or effect. The Parties may only modify, add to or amend any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement by a writing signed by authorized representatives of both Parties.

1.5 Supplier represents and warrants that at the time and date of delivery, the Ingredients will comply with all specifications (Specifications), a copy of which will be attached to the relevant Master Purchase Commitment or Purchase Order accordingly. A Specification may be updated from time to time by PNC in its sole discretion, provided PNC provides Supplier with reasonable prior notice on any updates (Change Notification). Within [***] from receipt of the Change Notification, Supplier will either: (1) accept the Specification change at the current price and terms; or (2) submit to PNC a proposal (Proposal) setting forth the conditions of acceptance that may include a change in price and/or other terms, including documentation to support same. Within [***] the Parties will discuss the Proposal in good faith and exercise their best efforts to agree on the appropriate adjustment if any. PNC will not issue any Purchase Orders, nor be required to issue any Purchase Orders to Supplier until PNC and Supplier have agreed on required Ingredient Specifications and any associated price and/or term adjustment. In the event the Parties fail to agree on required Ingredient Specifications or price and/or term adjustments despite their best good faith efforts, neither Party will have any further obligation with regard to purchase or supply of those Ingredients under any Master Purchase Commitments except that PNC shall take and pay for [***] of Ingredient inventory manufactured according to the then-current Specification.

2 Quality and Food Safety

2.1 For the purposes set forth in Section 303(c) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), Supplier guarantees to PNC that as of the time and date of delivery, all Ingredients will not be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Act, nor will any Ingredients constitute an article that may not, under the provisions of Sections 404 and 505 of the Act, be introduced into interstate commerce. The Supplier further guarantees that as of the time and date of delivery, all of the Ingredients will be in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, requirements and programs including those administered by the Food and Drug Administration (the FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (the USDA) and any state or local food or drug laws then in effect. This guarantee specifically includes Proposition 65 (California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act), and Supplier hereby certifies that the Ingredients will not contain any non-naturally occurring chemicals subject to Proposition 65 or that any such chemicals pose no significant risk or cause no observable effect as set forth in the California Health and Safety Code, 22 CCR §§ 12701 et seq. and 22 CCR §§ 12801 et seq., as amended. Supplier shall comply with all applicable regulatory requirements for determining and documenting that all Ingredients are at or below no significant risk levels and no observable effect levels, as applicable.

2.2 Supplier shall develop and maintain a food safety/food defense program as required under the Food Safety Modernization Act 21 USC §301 et seq and shall submit a copy of such plan (and any changes thereto) to PNC upon PNC's request. Supplier will conduct [***] third-party food safety/food defense audits (the Audits) in compliance with, and consistent with, relevant audit schemes approved by the Global Food Safety Initiatives, AIB International, Silliker, or GMA SAFE. Supplier will submit summaries of audit reports to PNC's Quality Manager at [***] upon request. Failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.2 will constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

2.3 Supplier will notify PNC immediately, by person-to-person voice communication or equivalent means, if any of the Ingredients contain, or are reasonably suspected to contain, material hazardous to human health, including but not limited to, chemical, physical or biological hazards.

2.4 PNC shall notify Supplier in writing if it determines any Ingredient fails to meet the Specifications. Supplier shall be given an opportunity to and will promptly inspect and/or test such Ingredients to confirm compliance to Specification. If after any reasonable, good faith inspection and testing it is confirmed that certain Ingredients fail to meet the Specifications [***].

2.5 Subject to the occurring of a Force Majeure Event, if Supplier fails to deliver the Ingredients in accordance with the Specifications, including within the time specified on the Purchase Order, in addition to any other remedies available, PNC may terminate the Purchase Order in whole or in part. In the event of such a termination, Supplier shall continue performance of any nonterminated portion of the Purchase Order, or any nonterminated Purchase Orders, and the quantity of Ingredient ordered and so terminated shall be deducted against any relevant Master Purchase Commitment.

2.6 PNC or its contracted third-party auditors may enter and audit/inspect Supplier's facilities where the Ingredients are produced, stored, packaged or otherwise processed [***] unless food safety is at issue or PNC has a good faith reason to believe the Ingredients are being stored, packaged, or processed

3





in a way that is inconsistent with the Specifications, in which case an audit may be performed at any time during the Term. For routine visits and audits, PNC will provide [***] if facilities located in the US and with [***] if facilities are located [***], provided that such examination will be conducted during Supplier's normal business hours and in such a manner as to reasonably minimize disruption to Supplier's business, unless food safety is at issue, in which case such examination may be conducted at any time. Supplier shall cooperate in good faith with PNC during all such inspections. During qualification processes and on-site inspections, Supplier will present necessary documentation to ensure compliance with all applicable programs specified under 21 CFR Part 117 Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventative Controls for Human Food. Records of environmental monitoring activities by the Supplier, following Supplier's established environmental monitoring program and standard operating procedures will be made available upon request to PNC. Supplier will notify Buyer immediately via person-to- person voice communication in the event that any pathogen is found, or reasonably suspected, in the plant environment during any environmental monitoring activity that could have an impact on the quality or safety of PNC's Ingredients. In the event of an actual or suspected food safety concern, Supplier shall conduct sampling in all relevant areas and promptly provide results of such tests to PNC. If PNC or its representatives find that any of Supplier's facilities, processes, inventory, procedures or equipment are not in accordance or compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or applicable law or regulation, PNC will give notice to Supplier, and Supplier shall promptly take all reasonable steps to correct such deficiency as soon as possible. If correction of the deficiency cannot be affected within [***] of such notice, then Supplier shall promptly notify PNC with its plan to correct the deficiency including an estimated schedule. If the deficiency cannot be corrected within [***], unless otherwise agreed, then PNC shall have the right to terminate any Purchase Orders then outstanding, along with any Master Purchase Commitment related thereto.

3 Business Continuity/Continuous Supply Assurances. Supplier will develop and maintain a business continuity plan that identifies critical pathways and potential crisis situations that could interrupt the supply of Ingredients to PNC and establish contingency plans for dealing with each crisis situation.
