PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Mr. Steven Bromley
[Address omitted]

Dear Steve:

Further to our discussions, this will confirm our agreement that your employment
with SunOpta Inc. (“SunOpta” or the “Company”) will cease on December 31, 2015
(the “Effective Departure Date”).

To assist with the CEO succession plan we have collectively decided to engage in
this discussion at this point to ensure a smooth transition of the CEO position
and we are pleased that these discussions have resulted in a mutually acceptable
agreement with respect to all matters relative to your employment and the
cessation of your employment.

This letter will serve to memorialize the entirety of the terms of that
agreement.

BETWEEN TODAY AND THE EFFECTIVE DEPARTURE DATE

During this period of transition your continued support and cooperation is
important to ensuring the orderly and efficient transfer of affairs. We expect
that you will continue to perform the duties of your position in the same
professional manner that you always have through the effective date of the
transition of the CEO role (the “Transition Date”). Effective immediately upon
the Transition Date, your title and role will change to “Vice Chair”, reporting
to myself and you will perform the agreed upon duties of this position in the
same professional manner that you always have through the Effective Departure
Date and not leave our employment, for any reason, prior to the Effective
Departure Date. Such duties of this role will include, but are not limited to:
(a) actively assisting and leading to conclusion, as needed, current corporate
development projects identified by the Company; (b) introducing the new CEO to
the top 20+ investors through in-person meetings as requested by the Company;
(c) participating in on-site communication activities with Company employees and
the new CEO in order to facilitate a seamless transition; (d) assisting with any
other duties as requested by the Company; and (e) advising the CEO as needed.
That being said, should you leave the Company’s employment prior to the
Effective Departure Date, then paragraph 9 of this letter will apply.

In return, the Company will maintain your salary and benefits, less applicable
deductions and withholdings, until the Effective Departure Date subject, of
course, to your continuing to be actively employed through the entirety of the
period between the date of this letter and the Effective Departure Date.

Upon the earlier of your actual last day of active employment with the Company
or the Effective Departure Date, you agree to immediately submit your
resignation as a director on the board of SunOpta Inc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONTRACTUAL ENTITLEMENTS

As you know, you and the Company are parties to an employment agreement
effective February 1, 2007 (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment
Agreement was supplemented by two (2) documents:

 * Minutes of the Compensation Committee dated January 11, 2008; and

 * A letter to you from Jeremy Kendall and Alan Murray dated May 7, 2012.

TERMS OF OUR AGREEMENT

The following confirms the entirety of the agreement between you and the Company
relative to, without limitation, your employment and the cessation of your
employment with the Company whether contractual, statutory, at common law or
otherwise:

1.

Accrued Base Salary and Vacation Pay

The Company will pay to you any accrued base salary and vacation pay as
reflected on the Company’s records owing to you up to and including the
Effective Departure Date.

2.

Accrued Bonus

You will receive a payment, less applicable deductions and withholdings required
by law, representing a bonus for the 2015 fiscal year based on the Company’s
year-end financial results in accordance with the 2015 Short Term Incentive
Plan. Such bonus payment, if any, will be paid out in accordance with the
normally scheduled payout date for all eligible Company employees under the
plan.

3.

Expenses

The Company will provide you with a payment for any outstanding business
expenses incurred up to and including your Effective Departure Date in
accordance with Company policy. Please submit all claims no later than two weeks
from your Effective Departure Date so that these can be reviewed.

4.

Separation Payment

The Company will pay you a monthly amount of $43,025.51 (CAD), less applicable
deductions and withholdings required by law, by direct deposit commencing on
January 8, 2016 and ending thirty- six (36) months from January 1, 2016 (the
“Separation Payment Period”). Separation payments will be made to you on a
bi-weekly basis in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll cycle as it
exists from time to time and, once completed, will provide you with the
equivalent of 24 months of base salary, bonus and certain benefits and
perquisites for a total amount of $1,548,918.52 (CAD) (the “Separation Payment”)
spread out over 36 months.

Attached as Schedule 1 is information indicating the manner in which the
Separation Payment set out above was calculated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[exhibit10-2x1x1.jpg]

5.

Acceleration of Separation Payment

At any time after the Effective Departure Date you may request, in writing, that
the Company pay to you the unpaid balance of the Separation Payment described in
paragraph 4 above as a lump-sum. Company may also elect, in writing, at any time
to pay you any unpaid balance of the Separation Payment as described at
paragraph 4 above as a lump-sum. Should the Company elect to pay you the unpaid
balance of the Separation Payment as a lump-sum, it is agreed that this election
will not affect the continued vesting of stock options and performance share
units which will continue in accordance with paragraph 7 below. On the other
hand, if you elect to require the Company to pay any unpaid balance of the
Separation Payment as a lump-sum then continued vesting of stock options and
performance share units will cease on the Full Separation Payment Date as stated
in paragraph 7.

6.

Employee Benefits

(a)     After the Effective Departure Date, only your health care and dental
care benefits will continue, subject to, as permitted by and in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance plans and policies, as they
may exist from time to time, until the earlier of 24 months after the Effective
Departure Date or the date on which you secure alternative employment or become
self-employed at which time all benefits will cease.

(b)     It is your responsibility to inform the Company when you secure
alternative employment or become self-employed and it is an express condition of
this offer that you do so.

(c)     All of your other group benefits not specifically mentioned in
paragraphs 6(a) as continuing after the Effective Departure Date, including,
without limitation, all disability coverage of any kind or nature whatsoever
along with those benefits listed on Schedule 1 will cease on the Effective
Departure Date.

(d)     You have 30 days after certain of the group insurance benefits end to
convert, at your own expense, your group insurance benefits to an individual
policy. You will be provided with the information for the insurance provider. It
is your responsibility to explore this and the Company will take no further
steps in this regard and will not be responsible or liable for any losses caused
by your failure to take advantage of any conversion rights.

7.

Stock Options and Performance Shares

You have been granted the following Stock Options and Performance Share Units
that currently remain outstanding as of the date of this letter:

Grant Date Grant Price Number of Options Exercisable/Vested Non-Vested May 12,

618,512 356,443 262,069
(includes
39,379 PSU’s)

*Performance Share Units (PSU’s)

We will allow you to continue to participate in the Stock Option Plan until the
date upon which the Separation Payment has been made in full (“Full Separation
Payment Date”). As such, options will continue to vest, subject to and in
accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Plan, until the Full Separation
Payment Date. If you fail to exercise your options on or before the Full
Separation Payment Date, they will expire and cease to be of any further force
or effect as of that date. Any outstanding performance share units will continue
to vest until the Full Separation Payment Date and will be calculated in
accordance with the applicable 2014 and 2015 Long Term Incentive Plans. Any
acceleration of the Separation Payment at your request, except in the event of a
Change of Control, or acceleration by the company, will result in the expiration
of the vesting period upon the Full Separation Payment Date. In the event of a
Change of Control, any unvested stock options will immediately vest upon the
effective date of the Change of Control. For clarification purposes, any
acceleration of the Separation Payment at the Company’s option will not cause
the vesting period to expire.

In consideration of the Company agreeing to extend the vesting period for your
options and to accelerate vesting of your options in the event of a Change of
Control, you hereby agree to the following: (a) to advise the Company's
Compliance Officer in advance of trading in securities of the Company and to
obtain prior consent of the Company in respect of any proposed trades of the
Company's securities in accordance with the Company's insider trading policy;
and (b) to provide to the Company such consulting services as the Company may
from time to time reasonably require during the vesting period. You will perform
any requested consulting services in the same professional manner as you did
during your employment.

8.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

Your participation in the ESPP will end on your Effective Departure Date. Any
contributions made to your ESPP account that were not used to purchase stock
will be promptly returned to you after your Effective Departure Date.

9.

Early Departure

Notwithstanding the above and any other provision of this letter, in the event
you end your employment with the Company, for any reason, prior to the Effective
Departure Date, and such early departure is not mutually agreed upon between you
and the Company, then the Separation Payment Period will be revised to
twenty-four (24) months, with bi-weekly payment amounts adjusted accordingly to
account for this change, and will begin as of your actual last day of active
employment with the Company as will your health care and dental benefits
continuation in accordance with paragraph 6 above. You will, of course, by your
early departure be foregoing any salary or other payments or entitlements
between your actual last day of active employment and the Effective Departure
Date. In addition, the vesting period for any of your options as set out at
paragraph 7 above will be revised to twenty-four (24) months from your actual
last day of active employment with the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[exhibit10-2x1x1.jpg]

10.

Permanent Disability or Death

If you are permanently disabled or die at any time prior to the Full Separation
Payment Date, then Company shall, upon receipt of written notification of such
event, pay any remaining Separation Payment in a lump sum to you or your estate,
as the case may be, to the extent permitted by law and upon receipt of such
documents and other information as might reasonably be requested by SunOpta to
permit it to consider the matter and effect such payment. In accordance with
paragraph 7, any continued vesting of stock options and performance share units
will cease on the Full Separation Payment Date.

11.

Confidentiality, Fiduciary Obligations, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation

You agree, as a condition of this settlement, that you will not use or disclose
any confidential information which you learned or that came into your possession
during the course of your employment with the Company, including information as
to the terms of this letter (except that you may discuss the terms of this
letter with members of your immediate family and with your legal and financial
advisors provided that they agree to keep this confidential). Among other
things, and without limitation, you will not use or disclose, without the
consent of the Company, any trade secrets, confidential or proprietary
information of or concerning the Company, its owners, affiliates, clients or
suppliers.

Furthermore, as a fiduciary, we expect that you will abide strictly with all of
your continuing obligations. Among others, you are prohibited from directly
soliciting the Company’s customers, from soliciting employees to leave their
employment with the Company to join in a competing business and from usurping a
maturing business opportunity of the Company of which you were aware while
employed for your own benefit or that of a third party.

In addition, we wish to remind you of your contractual obligations that survive
the cessation of your employment as set out in the Employment Agreement,
specifically the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation provision that will be in
effect for a period of two (2) years from your Effective Departure Date or such
earlier date that you cease employment with the Company, for any reason, prior
to the Effective Departure Date.

The expectation of the Company is that you will abide by and fully comply with
any and all common law, statutory, contractual and/or fiduciary obligations that
survive the cessation of your employment with the Company.

12.

Return of Company Property

Upon your Effective Departure Date, or such earlier date as the Company may
determine, you will return all property and information belonging to the Company
and any of its clients including all correspondence, documents, precedents,
memoranda and other records together with all login codes and passwords
necessary to allow the Company to access its information and property, including
login codes and passwords for, among others, voicemail, email, computer and VPN.
After such return, you will delete all such information from personally-owned
computers and other storage media and from personally-controlled web-based
accounts in a manner that renders such information irretrievable. Please confirm
that you have complied with this paragraph.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[exhibit10-2x1x1.jpg]

13.

Internal and External Announcement

We will announce internally and externally through a press release on or about
July7, 2015 that you will be leaving the Company on the Effective Departure
Date. We are prepared to work with you on the internal and external announcement
and will provide you with a draft. We are very much aware of your contribution
to the business of the Company, and the respect with which you are held by the
staff and customers. We want to ensure that this is messaged in an appropriate
way and, again, we are willing to provide you with some input into this before
we make the announcement.

14.

Release

In return for the above, and as provided in the Employment Agreement, you will
sign the standard form release attached as Schedule 2.

15.

Entire Agreement

This letter and the attached Schedules contain the entire agreement between you
and the Company in regard to your employment and the termination thereof. There
are no other agreements, understandings or arrangements, whether oral or
written, relative to the aforementioned matters other than those set out in this
letter and the attached Schedules which supersede and replace any such
agreements, understandings or arrangements. Any prior agreements, understandings
or arrangements are, therefore, void, unenforceable and of no force or effect.
The headings in this letter are provided for reference only and shall not affect
the substance of this letter.

16.

I have had ample opportunity to review the terms of this letter and the
attachments with legal counsel. If I did not do so, it was because I understood
the terms of this letter and the attachments and did not feel that I needed
legal advice. I acknowledge that, by my signature, I am acknowledging and
accepting that the terms of this letter and the attached Schedules accurately
and completely set out the entirety of the terms of my agreement and settlement
with the Company relative to, without, limitation, my employment and the
cessation of my employment with the Company and that I am doing so freely,
voluntarily and without duress.
