      Kehe Food
Distributors, Inc. has signed an agreement to acquire Tree of Life, Inc. We
anticipate an early 2010 closing date.

      

      This
historic event for Kehe Food Distributors, Inc. will (when closed) unite two
dynamic companies with the ability to more efficiently and effectively serve our
retail and vendor partners. The two companies complement each other’s strengths.
The combined resources of Kehe and Tree of Life will create significant
marketing, sales, account management, merchandising, distribution and eCommerce
synergies that will benefit our retail and vendor partners. The combined
enterprise will provide Natural & Organic, Specialty & Gourmet and
Ethnic products to retail locations throughout the US, Canada, Mexico and the
Caribbean.

      

      Kehe
believes in identifying and filling the product and service needs of retail
partners. The combined company will be better suited than ever to fulfill this
vision—for retail partners ranging from the smallest independent grocer or
natural food store to the largest national chain.

      

      During
the transition process, your continued support will be critical to our success.
It is of utmost importance that we all remain on-track with our selling programs
and initiatives. Your Kehe business activities are to be conducted as usual, and
you should continue to interact with your regular Kehe contacts.

      

      We are in
the process of developing plans for the integration of the two companies. We
will communicate details as they become available.

      

      If you
have any questions regarding this communication, please contact Ted Beilman at

    Dear Mr.
Jeffries:

    

    This
letter serves as official notification that OSM, Inc. is a participant in the US
Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) BioPreferredSM
program. BioPreferred is a Federally managed program that aims to increase the
purchase and use of renewable,
sustainable biobased products. Biobased products are defined by USDA as products
that are composed in whole or
in large part of agricultural or forestry materials. Biobased products may
include plant, animal, and marine
materials.

    

    BioPreferred
works with manufacturers such as OSM, distributors, and large-scale buyers (e.g.
the government and commercial markets) to increase awareness, purchase, and use
of biobased products. OSM manufactures natural cleaners, hand sanitizers, and
agricultural products. These products are identified by USDA as “BioPreferred”
or “BioPreferred-designated items.” You may also identify your products this way
and promote them as such.

     

    Your
cleaning products fall within the BioPreferred “glass and surface cleaners”
category; these products contain biobased content equal to or greater than 49%.
Additionally, OSM’s hand sanitizers fall within the “hand cleaners and
sanitizers” category; these products contain biobased content equal to or
greater than 73%.

    

    One major
way USDA shares information about the BioPreferred designated items is is
through a list of the products on our website. Please visit www.biopreferred.gov
and click on the link for the “Catalog” to view the entries for your designated
items. Only biobased products that meet or exceed the minimum content
established by USDA can be called “BioPreferred” and are listed in this
catalog.

    

    Federal
government agencies, military branches, and Federal contractors must give
preferred purchasing preference for BioPreferred biobased products — various
mandates, policies, and Presidential Executive Orders document this. Over the
coming years, we look forward to working with you to translate government
greening policy into practice and to creating lasting environmental change for
generations to come.

    

    
      
        	
                Sincerely,

means that our alcohol-free hand sanitizer will now be available to consumers

agencies and their contractors, and a voluntary labeling program for marketing
of biobased products to consumers.
