EXHIBIT 10.41

Employment Agreement dated April 20, 2007 with David Jurasek

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of January 1, 2007 (the
"Effective Date"), is by and between VERMONT PURE HOLDINGS, LTD., a Delaware
corporation (together with any subsidiaries, the "Company"), and DAVID JURASEK
(the "Executive").
The Company and the Executive agree as follows:
1.            Employment.
1.1            General.  The Company shall employ the Executive, and the
Executive accepts employment, as Controller and Director of Finance of the
Company, upon the terms and conditions described herein.  The Executive's
employment hereunder will commence on the Effective Date and will continue for
the Employment Term (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof) unless terminated sooner
as herein provided.  During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote all
of his business time, attention and skills to the business and affairs of the
Company, and will not undertake any commitments that would interfere with or
impair his performance of his duties and responsibilities.
1.2            Duties.  The Executive shall at all times render his services at
the direction of the Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") and the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and shall report primarily to the Chief
Executive Officer and, with respect to financial matters, the Chief Financial
Officer of the Company.  His duties generally will include those required for
the day to day and long term planning, development, and operation of the
financial administration of the Company.  The Company may assign to the
Executive such other executive and financial administrative duties for the
Company or any affiliate of the Company as may be determined by the Board of
Directors, consistent with the Executive's status as Controller and Director of
Finance.  The Executive agrees to diligently use his best efforts to promote and
further the reputation and good name of the Company and perform his services
well and faithfully.
2.            Term, Renewal and Termination.
2.1            Term; Renewal.  Subject to Section 2.2, the Executive's
employment by the Company shall be for three years from the Effective Date,
ending at 11:59 p.m., East Coast time, on December 31, 2009; provided, however,
that the term of employment shall be extended automatically for periods of one
year commencing on the third anniversary of the Effective Date and on each
subsequent anniversary thereafter, unless either party gives written notice to
the other, in each case at least 180 days prior to the end of the then current
term, of such party's election not to extend the term of this Agreement.  The
last day of such term, as so extended from time to time, is herein referred to
as the "Expiration Date" and the period beginning on the Effective Date and
ending on the Expiration Date is herein referred to as the "Employment Term."
2.2            Early Termination.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Executive's employment may be terminated prior
to the end of the Employment Term only as set forth in this Section.

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

2.2.1            Termination Upon Resignation or Death of Executive.  The
Executive's employment shall terminate upon the resignation or death of the
Executive. In case of termination pursuant to this Section 2.2.1, the Company
shall pay to the Executive (or, in case of his death, to his estate or his
beneficiary designated in writing), the base salary earned by the Executive
pursuant to Section 3, prorated through the date of resignation or death.
2.2.2            Termination Upon Disability of Executive.  The Executive's
employment shall terminate by reason of the disability of the Executive.  For
this purpose, "disability" shall mean the Executive's inability, by reason of
accident, illness or other physical or mental disability (determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors with the advice of a qualified and independent
physician), to perform satisfactorily the duties required by his employment
hereunder for any consecutive period of 120 calendar days.  In case of
termination pursuant to this Section 2.2.2, the Executive shall continue to
receive his base salary prorated through the time of such termination, less any
amount the Executive receives during such period from any Company‑sponsored or
Company-paid source of insurance, disability compensation or government program.
2.2.3            Termination Upon Mutual Consent.  The Executive's employment
may be terminated by the mutual consent of the Company and the Executive on such
terms as they may agree.
2.2.4            Termination For Cause.  The Executive's employment shall
terminate immediately on notice to the Executive upon a good faith finding of
the Board of Directors that the Executive has (i) willfully or repeatedly failed
in any material respect to perform his duties in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement following 30 days' prior written notice to the Executive and
failure of the Executive to cure such deficiency, (ii) committed a breach of any
provision of Section 4 hereof, (iii) misappropriated assets or perpetrated fraud
against the Company, (iv) been convicted of a crime which constitutes a felony,
or (v) been engaged in the illegal use of controlled or habit forming
substances. The preceding clauses (i)–(v) shall constitute "Cause" for
termination of the Executive hereunder.  In the event of termination for Cause
pursuant to this Section 2.2.4, the Company shall pay the Executive his base
salary prorated through the date of termination.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Executive shall not
be terminated for Cause unless and until the Executive has had an opportunity to
appear before the Board of Directors to hear and respond to the allegations of
Cause for his termination.
2.2.5            Termination by Company Without Cause.  The Company may
terminate the Executive's employment at any time and for any reason, without
Cause, upon written notice to the Executive.  Termination of employment on the
Expiration Date by reason of non-renewal as provided in the first sentence of
Section 2.1 shall not be considered a termination of employment without Cause.
In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 2.2.5, the Company shall,
subject to Section 2.2.7, pay or provide to the Executive the following
termination benefits:  (i) an amount (the "Payout Amount") equal to the
Executive's annual base salary as of the termination date, payable as follows: 
50% of the Payout Amount on the six-month anniversary of the termination date,
followed by 8.3333% of the Payout Amount each month for six additional months in
equal regular monthly installments, in each case less income taxes and other
applicable withholdings, and (ii) the Executive's Fringe Benefits (as defined
below) for 12 months.

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

The obligation of the Company to provide "Fringe Benefits" following any
termination that is or is deemed to be without Cause shall mean that the
Executive's participation (including dependent coverage) in the life and health
insurance plans of the Company in effect immediately prior to the termination
shall be continued, or substantially equivalent benefits provided, by the
Company, at a cost to the Executive no greater than his cost at the date of such
termination, for the period in which the Company shall be obligated to pay the
Payout Amount (but not more than 12 months).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Company shall be unable to provide for the continuation of an insurance
benefit (such as life insurance) because such benefit was provided pursuant to
an insurance policy that does not provide for the extension of such insurance
benefit following termination of the employment of the Executive, then the
Executive may purchase insurance providing such insurance benefit and, whether
or not the Executive so elects to purchase insurance, the Company's only
obligation with respect to such insurance benefit shall be to reimburse the
Executive for his premium costs, up to a maximum aggregate amount for all
policies of insurance purchased by the Executive pursuant to this sentence of
$12,000 per annum, prorated for partial years.  If the Company is obligated
pursuant to the so-called "COBRA" law to offer the Executive the opportunity for
a temporary extension of health coverage ("continuation coverage"), then the
Executive shall elect continuation coverage, and the premium cost of such
coverage shall be borne by the Company and the Executive as provided in the
first sentence of this paragraph.  Continuation coverage provided pursuant to
COBRA shall terminate in accordance with COBRA.  To the extent that any benefit
required to be provided to the Executive by the Company by reason of a
termination for Cause shall be provided to the Executive by any successor
employer, the Company's obligation to provide that benefit to the Executive
shall be correspondingly offset or shall cease, as the case may be.  Except as
expressly required by COBRA, in no event shall the Company have any obligation
to provide Fringe Benefits after the expiration of the 12-month period provided
in this Section 2.2.5.  The Executive shall not be entitled to any other expense
or benefit following the termination of his employment for any reason.
2.2.6            Termination in Connection with Change of Control.  If the
employment of the Executive terminates for any reason, including termination by
the Executive, within 30 days following the occurrence of a "Change of Control"
(as defined in this Section 2.2.6), then the Company shall, subject to Section
2.2.7, pay or provide to the Executive the following termination benefits:  (i)
an amount (the "COC Payout Amount") equal to the Executive's annual base salary
as of the termination date, payable as follows:  50% of the Payout Amount on the
six-month anniversary of the termination date, followed by 8.3333% of the COC
Payout Amount each month for six additional months in equal regular monthly
installments, in each case less income taxes and other applicable withholdings,
and (ii) the Executive's Fringe Benefits (as defined below) for 12 months.
A "Change of Control" shall mean a change in control of the Company (and not any
person or entity that hereafter becomes a successor to all or substantially all
of the business or assets of the Company by reason of a Change of Control) and
shall be deemed to have taken place if: (i) a third person, including a "group"
as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes
the beneficial owner of shares of the capital stock of the Company having more
than 50% of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of
directors of the Company, (ii) the sale or other disposition (excluding mortgage
or pledge) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii)
the merger or other business combination of the Company with or into another
corporation or entity pursuant to which the Company will not survive or will
survive only as a subsidiary of another corporation or entity, in either case
with the stockholders of the Company prior to the merger or other business
combination holding less than 50% of the voting shares of the merged or combined
companies or entities after such merger or other business combination. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be deemed to be a Change
of Control for purposes hereof:  (i) any transaction in which either (x) the
Executive, any of Henry Baker, Joan Baker, Peter Baker, John Baker, or any of
the other lineal descendants of Henry Baker and Joan Baker, or Ross Rapaport, in
each case individually or in a fiduciary capacity (each such person, other than
the Executive, referred to individually as a "Baker Stockholder" and such
persons collectively referred to as the "Baker Stockholders"), is or becomes,
either alone or as a member of a "group" as defined in this Section, or (y) the
Baker Stockholders, together with their affiliates and considered in the
aggregate as a single entity, are or become, the beneficial owner or owners of
shares of the capital stock of the Company having more than 50% of the total
number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company,
or (ii) any transaction described in SEC Rule 13e-3(a)(3)(i) in which the
Executive participates as an "affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of
that Rule, without regard to whether the test in Rule 13e-3(a)(3)(ii) would be
satisfied in the transaction.  The rights and obligations created by this
Agreement with respect to a Change of Control shall apply only with respect to
the first Change of Control after the date of execution of this Agreement, and
not with respect to any subsequent transaction.

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

2.2.7            No Other Termination Benefits; Release.  The Executive
understands and agrees that the termination payments and benefits described in
Section 2.2 constitute all of the payments and benefits to which he (or his
estate or beneficiary) will be or become entitled to receive in case of
termination of his employment, and that such payments and benefits are in lieu
of any and all other payments and benefits of every kind or description to which
he may be entitled, including, without limitation, the right to receive a bonus
payment or any portion thereof.  Any accrued but unpaid vacation compensation
shall be payable upon termination of employment.  In addition, the Executive
understands and agrees that the Company's obligation to pay or provide the
termination payments and benefits described herein is conditioned upon and
subject to the execution and non-revocation by the Executive of a form of
release of claims against the Company, the principal terms and conditions of
which shall be as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
2.2.8            No Duty to Mitigate; Termination of Benefits.  The Executive
shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any compensation payable to him
pursuant to Section 2 hereof, whether by seeking other employment or otherwise,
nor shall any compensation earned by the Executive during the period of
continuance of any payments under Section 2 hereof reduce the amount of
compensation payable under Section 2.
3.            Compensation.  During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay,
in full payment for all of the Executive's services rendered hereunder, the
following compensation:
3.1            Base Salary.  The Company shall pay the Executive an annual base
salary, less income taxes and other applicable withholdings, of $165,000 in
accordance with the Company's standard payroll installments.  The Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors will review the annual base salary amount as
soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year of Company to consider
whether or not it should be increased.  Such determination shall be in the sole
discretion of the Committee using such criteria as the members of the Committee
deem relevant, including, but not limited to, the performance of the Company and
the Executive.
3.2            Bonuses.  In its sole discretion, the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors may (but is not required to) determine that the Company
shall pay a bonus to the Executive after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company.  Such determination shall take place as soon as practicable after the
end of the fiscal year, using such criteria as the members of the Committee
shall deem relevant, including, but not limited to, the performance of the
Company and the Executive.  Any bonus that is to be paid to the Executive under
this Section 3.2 shall be paid within 75 days after the end of the fiscal year
of the Company to which it relates.

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

3.3            Stock Options and Restricted Stock.  The Executive shall be
eligible to receive stock options and awards of restricted stock from time to
time, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Directors
of the Company.
3.4            Vacation.  The Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of
vacation in each 12‑month period during the Employment Term, without carryover
of unused vacation time.  No more than two (2) weeks may be taken consecutively.
3.5            Executive Benefit Plans.  The Executive shall be entitled to
participate in all plans or programs sponsored by the Company for employees in
general, including without limitation, participation in any group health,
medical reimbursement, or life insurance plans.
3.6            Expense Allowance.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive for
all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by him from time to time in the
performance of his duties hereunder, against receipts therefor in accordance
with the then effective policies and requirements of the Company.
3.7            Disability and Other Insurance; Automobile Allowance.  The
Company shall have no obligation to provide disability insurance to the
Executive.  The Company agrees to provide an allowance of up to $15,000 per
year, in the aggregate, to reimburse the Executive for (i) the actual cost of
premiums incurred by the Executive for disability insurance obtained by the
Executive; (ii) the actual cost of premiums incurred by the Executive for any
other insurance which would not be available to the Executive under the
Company's customary benefit plans; and (iii) the actual cost of leasing and
operating an automobile for use by the Executive during the Executive's
employment with the Company.  The Executive may determine in his reasonable
judgment how to allocate the allowance between disability insurance premiums,
other insurance premiums and automobile leasing expense.

4.            Protection of Confidential Information; Non‑Compete.
4.1            Acknowledgements.  The Executive acknowledges that:
(a)            The Executive has obtained and, during his employment by the
Company, will obtain secret and confidential information concerning the business
of the Company and its affiliates, including, without limitation, customer lists
and sources of supply, their needs and requirements, the nature and extent of
contracts with them, and related cost, price and sales information.
(b)            The Company and its affiliates will suffer substantial and
irreparable damage which will be difficult to compute if, during the period of
his employment with the Company or thereafter, the Executive should enter a
competitive business or should divulge secret and confidential information
relating to the business of the Company and its affiliates heretofore or
hereafter acquired by him in the course of his employment with the Company.
(c)            The provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for
the protection of the business of the Company and its affiliates.

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

4.2            Confidentiality.  The Executive agrees that he will not at any
time, either during the Employment Term or thereafter, divulge to any person,
firm or corporation any information obtained or learned by him during the course
of his employment with the Company, with regard to the operational, financial,
business or other affairs of the Company and its affiliates, and their
respective officers and directors, including, without limitation, trade secrets,
customer lists, sources of supply, pricing policies, operational methods or
technical processes, except (i) in the course of performing his authorized
duties hereunder, (ii) with the Company's express written consent; (iii) to the
extent that any such information is lawfully in the public domain other than as
a result of the Executive's breach of any of his obligations hereunder; or (iv)
where required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government
process. In the event that the Executive shall be required to make any
disclosure pursuant to the provisions of clause (iv) of the preceding sentence,
the Executive promptly, but in no event more than 48 hours after learning of
such subpoena, court order, or other government process, shall notify the
Company, by personal delivery or by fax, confirmed by mail, to the Company and,
if the Company so elects and at the Company's expense, the Executive shall:  (a)
take all reasonably necessary steps requested by the Company to defend against
the enforcement of such subpoena, court order or other government process, and
(b) permit the Company to intervene and participate with counsel of its choice
in any proceeding relating to the enforcement thereof.
4.3            Return of Property.  Upon termination of his employment with the
Company, or at any time the Company may so request, the Executive will promptly
deliver to the Company all Company property, including without limitation all
memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints, computer and
peripheral software and hardware, files, databases, documentation, procedures,
financial statements, employee manuals, customer and vendor lists and contracts,
and product material or information, and all copies thereof, relating to the
business of the Company and its affiliates, and all other property associated
therewith, which he may then possess or have under this control.

4.4            Non‑Competition.  During the Employment Term and for a period
equal to the time during which Executive receives severance payments for
benefits pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement or for a period of 12 months in
the event the Executive is terminated without entitlement to severance benefits
herein, the Executive shall not, without the prior written permission of the
Company, in the United States, its territories and possessions, directly or
indirectly, (i) enter into the employ of or render any services to any person,
firm or corporation engaged in any Competitive Business (as defined below); (ii)
engage in any Competitive Business for his own account; (iii) become associated
with or interested in any Competitive Business as an individual, partner,
shareholder, creditor, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee,
consultant, advisor or in any other relationship or capacity; (iv) employ or
retain, or have or cause any other person or entity to employ or retain, any
person who was employed or retained by the Company or its affiliates while the
Executive was employed by the Company; or (v) solicit, interfere with, or
endeavor to entice away from the Company or its affiliates any of their
customers or sources of supply.  However, nothing in this Agreement shall
preclude the Executive from investing his personal assets in the securities of
any Competitive Business if such securities are traded on a national stock
exchange or in the over‑the‑counter market and if such investment does not
result in his beneficially owning, at any time, more than 4.9% of the
publicly‑traded equity securities of such competitor. "Competitive Business"
shall mean any business or enterprise which (a) designs, sells, manufactures,
markets and/or distributes still or sparkling spring or purified bottled water
products or beverages, or office refreshment products, including coffee, in the
home and office market, or (b) engages in any other business in which Company or
its affiliates is involved at any time during the 12‑month period immediately
prior to the termination of the Executive's employment.

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

4.5            Enforcement.  If the Executive commits a breach, or threatens to
commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Section 4, the Company shall have
the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically
enforced by any court having jurisdiction over the matter, it being acknowledged
and agreed by the Executive that the services being rendered hereunder to the
Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such
breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and
that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.  Such
right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights
and remedies available to the Company under law or equity.
4.6            Blue Penciling.  If any provision of Section 4 is held to be
unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the
tribunal making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope,
duration or area, or all of them, and such provision or provisions shall then be
applicable in such modified form.
5.            Representations of Executive.  The Executive represents and
warrants to the Company that he has had an opportunity to consult his personal
counsel and other advisors in connection with the preparation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement, and that he understands that Company counsel
represented the Company and not the Executive in this matter.  The Executive is
not a party to or bound by any agreement, understanding or restriction that
would or may be breached by the Executive's execution and full performance of
this Agreement.  The Executive expressly undertakes and agrees that none of his
acts or duties hereunder that will violate any obligations he may have to any
other employer (or will impose on the Company any liability to any other
employer) and that he has complied with all requirements of notice applicable to
the termination of any prior employment before he commenced his employment with
the Company.  The Executive further represents and warrants that he has
delivered to the Company complete copies of all employment agreements,
understanding and restrictions to which he has been subject at any time during
the last five years.
6.            Construction of this Agreement.
6.1            Choice of Law.  This Agreement is to be construed pursuant to the
laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the laws affecting choice of
law.
6.2            Invalid Agreement Provisions.  Should any provision of this
Agreement become legally unenforceable, no other provision of this Agreement
shall be affected, and this Agreement shall continue as if the Agreement had
been executed absent the unenforceable provision.
6.3            No Other Agreements.  This Agreement represents the full
agreement between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject
matter hereof and the Company and the Executive have made no agreements,
representations or warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement
that are not set forth herein.  This Agreement supersedes any and all other
agreements, oral or written, that may define the employment relationship between
the Executive and the Company or any affiliate of the  Company, and all of such
other agreements are hereby terminated, without liability to any party thereto. 
Nothing in this Agreement confers any rights or remedies on any person or entity
or than the parties hereto.
6.4            Notices.  All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in

to receive the same, when transmitted by electronic means or when mailed first
