(the “Asset Acquisition Statement”) with Buyer’s proposed allocation of the consideration paid among
the Purchased Assets including the Seller’s agreement not to compete, in accordance with section 1060 of the Code. Buyer’s
allocations will reconcile with valuations already provided to Buyer. For purposes of this Section 3.2, the consideration
paid shall be equal to the Purchase Price plus that portion of the Assumed Liabilities that are considered assumed liabilities
for federal income tax purposes. Within 30 days after receiving such Asset Acquisition Statement, Seller will propose to Buyer
any changes to such Asset Acquisition Statement (and in the event no such changes are proposed in writing to Buyer within such
time, Seller will be deemed to have agreed to, and accepted, the Asset Acquisition Statement). Buyer and Seller will endeavor
in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to the Asset Acquisition Statement within 30 days after Buyer’s receipt
of written notice of objection from Seller.

Subject to the provisions of the following sentence of this Section 3.2(b), the Purchase Price (together with any assumed

with such allocation. If Seller withholds their consent to the allocation reflected in the Asset Acquisition Statement, and Buyer
and Seller have acted in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to items on the Asset Acquisition Statement and thereafter
are unable to resolve any differences that, in the aggregate, are material in relation to the Purchase Price, then any remaining
disputed matters will be finally and conclusively determined by an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing
(the “Allocation Arbiter”) selected by Buyer and Seller, which firm shall not be the regular auditor of the
financial statements of Buyer or Seller. Promptly, but not later than 30 days after its acceptance of appointment hereunder, the
Allocation Arbiter will determine (based solely on presentations by Seller and Buyer and not by independent review) only those
matters in dispute and will render a written report as to the disputed matters and the resulting allocation of Purchase Price
(together with any assumed liabilities), which report shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. Buyer and Seller shall,
subject to the requirements of any applicable tax law or election, file all Tax returns and reports consistent with the allocation
provided in the Asset Acquisition Statement or, if applicable, the determination of the Allocation Arbiter.

defined in Sections 3(1), 3(2) and 3(37) of ERISA; (ii) any retirement or deferred compensation plan, incentive compensation plan,
equity plan, unemployment compensation plan, vacation pay, severance pay, bonus or benefit arrangement, insurance or hospitalization

defined in §3(3) of ERISA); or (iii) any employment agreements not terminable on thirty (30) business days or less written
notice, without further liability. Any plan, arrangement or agreement for which Seller or any ERISA Affiliate of Seller may have
any liability is sometimes hereinafter referred to as a “Benefit Plan”. The term “ERISA Affiliate”
shall mean any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, that together with Seller would be deemed a “single employer”

or any third party.

to place Buyer in a legal position to be assured of the Purchased Assets that Buyer is acquiring pursuant to this Agreement.

 

    	 	 	 

    	 	 	Page 11 of 21

    

 

7.2
Employee and Employee Benefits Matters. Seller shall be solely responsible for any liability, claim or expense with
respect to Seller Benefit Plan, compensation, or any employment related matter of any nature, whether incurred before or after
the Closing, that arises out of or relates to the employment relationship between Seller or any of its affiliates and any Employee
or former employee. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any benefits under any Seller
Benefit Plan that become due to any Employees as a result of their termination by Seller, and Seller shall be solely responsible
for any claim for severance by an Employee or former employee of Seller arising solely as a result of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of Section 5 of the Intellectual Property Agreement, Seller consents
to Buyer interviewing and hiring Seller’s employees set forth on Schedule 7.2.

 

7.3
Conduct of Business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as required or contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, before the Closing Date, Seller shall not take any of the following actions in relation
to the Business without the written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld):

 

(a)
voluntarily incur any liability other than in the Ordinary Course of Business or in connection with the performance or consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

 

(b)
fail to maintain and service the Business or fail to maintain the goodwill of those persons having business relationships
with the Business;

 

(c)
take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change;

(e)
terminate or materially amend any of the Contracts or the Real Estate Lease, other than in the Ordinary Course of Business.

other than in accordance with past practices.

or shareholder in its official or personal capacity, (i) solicit any proposal to acquire Seller, the Business or a portion of
the Purchased Assets including through any transaction involving a merger, consolidation, purchase or disposition of any material
amount of the Purchased Assets or equity of Seller or any other business combination (collectively, a “Prohibited Transaction”),
(ii) initiate or engage in any negotiations or discussions with any Person, either directly or through others concerning a Prohibited
Transaction, or (iii) enter into a Prohibited Transaction with any person. If Seller or any of its respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, representatives or similar persons receive any offer or proposal related to a Prohibited Transaction, Seller shall immediately
notify Buyer, which notice shall include the specific terms of such offer.

 

    	 	 	 

    	 	 	Page 12 of 21

    

 

7.5
Confidential Information.

 

Seller
will treat and hold as confidential all of the Confidential Information and refrain from using any of the Confidential Information
except in connection with the Transaction Agreements or as may be necessary or appropriate in the operation of the Business prior
to Closing. In the event that Seller is requested or required pursuant to written or oral question or request for information
or documents from any Governmental Authority to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller shall notify Buyer promptly of the
request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this
Section 7.5. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller is, on the advice of
counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any Governmental Authority or else stand liable for contempt, Seller
may disclose the Confidential Information to the Governmental Authority; provided, however, that Seller shall
first, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of Buyer,
an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required
to be disclosed by Seller as Buyer shall designate. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information that
is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure unless such Confidential Information is so available
due to the actions of Seller or its Affiliates or Representatives.

 

7.6
UCC Matters.

 

From
and after the Closing Date, Seller will promptly refer all inquiries with respect to ownership of the Purchased Assets or the
Business to Buyer. In addition, Seller shall execute such documents and financing statements as Buyer may reasonably request from
time to time to evidence transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer, including any necessary assignment of financing statements.

 

7.7
AS-IS CONDITION. Except as to title and as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, Buyer expressly understands
and agrees that it shall accept the sale and transfer by Seller of all of the Purchased Assets on an “As-Is Where-Is”
basis at the Effective Time regardless of the condition of the Assets and whether Buyer has inspected and examined them. EXCEPT
AS MAY BE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE VALUE, CONDITION OR USE OF THE
ASSETS, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE.

 

7.8
Tax Matters. 

 

(a)
Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay 100% of all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any, arising out of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The parties will use their best efforts to apply exemptions from state sales and use taxes for
these transactions. If no such exemptions are available and the Seller pays any portion of the state sales or use taxes, the Seller
shall deliver to the Buyer a receipt or other evidence of payment of such amounts to the applicable taxing authority satisfactory
to the Buyer as soon as practicable after payment thereof by the Seller and the Buyer shall, within ten (10) business days of
its receipt of such evidence of payment, reimburse the Seller for its portion of such taxes so paid.

 

(b)
Withholding Certificate. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with any clearance certificate or other similar
document or documents that are required by any taxing authority to relieve Buyer of any obligation to withhold any portion of
the Purchase Price or to relieve Buyer of any tax liability of Seller.

 

(c)
Mutual Cooperation. Seller and Buyer shall (i) each provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested
by either of them in connection with the preparation of any Tax return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority
or any judicial or administrative proceeding with respect to Taxes, (ii) each retain and provide the other with any records or
other information which may be relevant to such return, audit, examination or proceeding, and (iii) each provide the other with
any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding or determination that affects any amount required to be shown
on any Tax return of the other for any period (which shall be maintained confidentially). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Buyer shall retain, and Seller shall retain, until the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions)
have expired, copies of all Tax returns, supporting work schedules and other records or information that may be relevant to such
returns for all tax periods or portions thereof ending before or including the Closing Date and shall not destroy or otherwise
dispose of any such records without first providing the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy the same.
If related party accounting rules require consolidation, the parties will in good faith work together to minimize the need to
consolidate.

 

    	 	 	 

    	 	 	Page 13 of 21

    

 

(d)
No new elections with respect to Taxes, or any changes in current elections with respect to Taxes, affecting the Purchased
Assets or the Business shall be made after the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer.

 

(e)
Buyer and Seller agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute a sale of a trade or business within
the meaning of the Code. Seller will provide to Buyer upon request all information necessary in order to permit Buyer to apply
the provisions of the Code.

 

7.9
Proration of Expenses and Taxes.

 

Any
expenses, including real estate and personal property Taxes, payments in lieu of Taxes, rents, utility expenses, prepaid expenses,
insurance, if any, and other similar matters shall be prorated as of the Effective Time. Seller shall pay those expenses that
equitably relate to periods of time prior to the Effective Time, and Buyer shall pay those expenses that equitably relate to periods
of time after the Effective Time. At Closing and at all appropriate times after Closing, Seller and Buyer shall promptly pay to
the other such amounts as are required to effectuate such proration.

 

7.10
Wrong Pocket. If any party receives a payment from a third party that, pursuant to the terms hereof, should have been
paid to the other party hereto, the party who receives the payment agrees to hold in trust and promptly remit such payment to
the party entitled thereto. If either party receives a payment from a customer that cannot be identified to a specific invoice
or obligation, the recipient shall, if reasonable under the circumstances, inquire of the customer as to the intended application
thereof and, lacking a response, the payment shall be applied to the oldest outstanding undisputed invoice relating to the payor.

 

7.11
Bulk Transfer Laws. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller with the requirements, if any, of Article 6 of
the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in any state in which the Assets are located and all other similar laws applicable to
bulk sales and transfers.

 

7.12
Covenant Not to Compete. Seller agrees, for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date not to offer private label
services to any current customer that has contracted private label services at any time during the two (2) year period prior to
the Closing Date. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section
7.12 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability
shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or
to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes
closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable
as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

10.2
Claim Procedure.

 

(a)
Claim Notice. An Indemnified Party seeking indemnity under this Article X shall give written notice (a “Claim
Notice”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) promptly upon
becoming aware of the matters forming the basis of such claim, whether the Damages sought arise from matters solely between the
parties or from third party claims. The Claim Notice shall contain (i) a description and, if known, estimated amount (the “Claimed
Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation
of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of facts then known by the Indemnified Party, and (iii) a demand for payment of
those Damages.

 

(b)
Response to Claim Notice. Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to
the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall either:

 

(i)
agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
Claimed Amount in accordance with a payment and distribution method reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; or

 

(ii)
dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in such an event, the Response shall
be referred to as an “Objection Notice”).

 

(c)
Contested Claims. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its obligation to pay a Claimed Amount pursuant to an Objection
Notice, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to reach an agreement as to the disputed matter. If
the Indemnifying Party and Indemnitee shall have failed to resolve such disputed matters within 30 days from the Indemnitee’s
receipt of the Objection Notice, then the parties may submit the matter to arbitration as set forth in Section 12.7 prior
to the expiration of the relevant Indemnification Period set forth in Section 10.1(a).

 

    	 	 	 

    	 	 	Page 17 of 21

    

 

(d)
Third Party Claims.

 

(i)
If an Indemnified Party receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion by a person other than a Buyer Indemnified Party
or Seller Indemnified Party of any claim with respect to which the Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification
under this Article X, the Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30)
days thereafter. Such notice shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by such third party (to the
extent then in the possession of the Indemnified Party) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified
Party) the facts constituting the basis for such suit or proceeding and the amount of the claimed Damages; provided, however,
that no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying
Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any Damage caused by or arising out of such failure or
to the extent such delay or deficiency prejudices or otherwise adversely affects the rights of the Indemnifying Party with respect
thereto. Within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice to the Indemnified
Party, assume control of the defense of such suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding involving
criminal liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control
such defense.

 

(ii)
The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own
expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party
concludes, upon the written opinion of counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests
or defenses available with respect to such suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified
Party shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate
in the defense with counsel of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party’s own cost and expense. The party controlling such
defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of
such suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party
with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with
respect to such suit or proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served on
such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise
reasonably cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such suit or proceeding.

 

(iii)
The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified
Party shall not be required for non-criminal matters if the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such
settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a full, complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified
Party from further Liability. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising
from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

 

ARTICLE
XI. TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT

 

11.1
Buyer’s Deposit will be forfeited to Seller in the event the Transaction does not close due to (i) failure of the Buyer
to pay the Purchase Price; (ii) Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement for no justifiable reason; and/or (iii) material
changes to the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Transaction Agreements by Buyer without reasonable justification.
The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller selected Buyer’s offer upon conclusion of a bidding process. Relinquishment
of the Deposit will be in consideration of Seller’s lost opportunity with other potential buyers and Seller’s efforts
and expenses, including professional fees, related to the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Transaction Agreement and
constitutes liquidated and agreed damages.

 

    	 	 	 

    	 	 	Page 18 of 21

    

 

This
Agreement may be terminated and abandoned on or prior to the Closing Date as follows: (a) by mutual consent of all parties hereto,
(b) by Seller if the conditions precedent contained in Article IX hereof have not been fulfilled or waived in writing on
or prior to the Closing Date, or (c) by Buyer if the conditions precedent contained in Article VIII hereof have not been
fulfilled or waived in writing on or prior to the Closing Date; provided however Buyer’s Deposit will be forfeited to Seller
in the event Buyer fails to remit the Purchase Price to Seller, terminates the transaction without reasonable justification, or
Buyer changes the material terms of the transaction set forth in the Letter of Intent without reasonable justification. In the
event of termination by any party as herein provided, written notice shall promptly be given to the other party and each party
shall pay its own expenses incident to the preparation of this Agreement and for the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby. A termination pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI will not prejudice any claim for Damages that any party
may have hereunder or in law or in equity. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article XI, this Agreement
and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall automatically end without any further liability against
any party or its Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing in this Article XI shall relieve any party from
liability for the breach of any provisions of this Agreement prior to termination; and provided, further, that the
provisions of Section 7.10 [Confidential Information], this Article XI, and Article XII remain in
force and survive any termination of this Agreement.

12.7
Arbitration.

 

(a)
If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, or the breach hereof, and if the dispute cannot be settled through negotiation,
the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle the dispute by non-binding mediation. For such purpose the parties shall
select an experienced and impartial mediator who has no business or personal relationship with any of the parties. The parties
shall equally share the fees of the mediator.

 

(b)
If the dispute cannot be settled through mediation, the parties agree that the dispute shall be settled through binding, confidential
arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its then existing Commercial
Rules (the “AAA Rules”).

 

(i)
One arbiter (each arbiter, a “General Arbiter”) shall be chosen by Buyer, the other by Supplier, and a third (the
“Presiding Arbiter”) shall be chosen by the two (2) General Arbiters within fifteen (15) days of their appointment.
Each General Arbiter shall be appointed within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the arbitration proceeding. In the event
that the two General Arbiters fail to agree upon the selection of a Presiding Arbiter within fifteen (15) days following their
appointment, the Presiding Arbiter shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the AAA Rules. The “commencement of
the arbitration proceeding” shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Demand for Arbitration has been delivered to the
parties in accordance with this Section 12.7.

 

(ii)
It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings shall be concluded within 180
days from the appointment of the Presiding Arbitrator. The tribunal may extend this time limit in the interests of justice, and
failure to adhere to this time limit shall not constitute a basis for challenging the award.

 

(iii)
The decision of the tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties and the parties agree and consent that the arbitral award
shall be conclusive proof of the validity of the determinations of the arbitration set forth in the award, and any judgment upon
such an award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The decision of the tribunal shall be rendered
no later than 30 days after commencement of such hearing.

 

(iv)
The tribunal shall apply the law of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. Any arbitration proceedings
shall take place in Los Angeles, California.

AND ASSUMPTION OF LEASE

AND CONSENT OF LESSOR

(this
“CONSENT”)

 

December
31, 2018 (for reference purposes only)

 

1.
ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE. For valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Reed’s,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ASSIGNOR”) hereby assigns and transfers to California Custom Beverage, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (“ASSIGNEE”), all of ASSIGNOR’s right, title and interest in and
to that certain Standard Industrial/Commercial Single-Tenant Lease – Net dated May 7, 2009, as amended by that certain Amendment
Number One dated on October 1, 2014 and that certain Lease Amendment Number Two fully executed on October 13, 2016 (collectively,
as amended, including pursuant to the express terms of this Consent below, and together with all obligations contained therein,
the “LEASE”), by and between ASSIGNOR, as lessee, and 525 South Douglas Street, LLC, a California limited liability
company (“LESSOR”), as lessor, covering those certain Premises located at 12930 and 13000 South Spring Street,
Los Angeles, CA 90061 (the “PREMISES”) and as is more particularly described in the Lease (“ASSIGNMENT”).
This Consent shall be effective on the date of mutual execution by all parties hereto (“EFFECTIVE DATE”), which
is estimated to occur on December 31, 2018.

 

2.
ASSUMPTION OF LEASE. Assignee acknowledges that it has inspected the Premises and reviewed the Lease and Assignee hereby accepts
the foregoing Assignment and assumes and agrees, for the benefit of Lessor, to be bound by and perform all obligations of Assignor
as Lessee pursuant to and as required by the Lease and to abide by all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the
Lease whether arising or accruing prior to, as of, or subsequent to the date of the Assignment (the “ASSUMPTION”).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Assignee shall be liable for all repair, restoration, surrender and indemnification
obligations of the “Lessee” under the Lease as if Assignee had been the original signatory of the Lease. Attached
hereto as Exhibit A is a true copy of the Lease, which Assignee shall initial each page (however, the absence of such initial
shall not in any way invalidate or diminish the effectiveness of the Assignment or Assumption or Assignee’s obligations
under the Lease). Assignor and Assignee each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any
claim, liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the
indemnified party as a result of any breach or default of, or failure to perform, at any time, any obligation under the Lease
(i) accruing prior to the Effective Date as to Assignor, and (ii) accruing on and after the Effective Date solely as to Assignee.
Assignee represents and warrants to Assignor and Lessor that the execution and delivery of this Consent will neither violate nor
constitute a default under any agreements with any third parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Assignee
conclusively accepts the Premises in “AS IS” condition, with all faults and agrees to perform all obligations with
respect to the repair, maintenance, replacement and restoration of the Premises at Assignee’s sole cost (including any latent
and patent defects). Assignor has no obligation to Assignee to perform any work or improvements in or to the Premises in connection
with the Assignment.

 

3.
LIMITED RELEASE OF ASSIGNOR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Consent or the Lease, and conditioned
upon Christopher Reed and Judy H. Reed (collectively, “GUARANTOR”) executing that certain Guaranty of Lease
in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, Lessor and Assignee each hereby release Assignor of and from all liabilities
under the Lease that first arise and accrue following the date of the Assignment and Assumption.

 

4.
SECURITY DEPOSIT. Assignor acknowledges that Lessor is currently holding a security deposit in the amount of $25,000 under
the Lease (the “EXISTING SECURITY DEPOSIT”). Assignor hereby transfers to Assignee all of Assignor’s
interest in the Existing Security Deposit (and in any prepaid rent given to Lessor under the Lease). Assignor hereby waives any
claims against Lessor with respect to any such Existing Security Deposit and prepaid rent. Assignee shall protect, indemnify,
defend and hold Lessor harmless from and against any claims Assignor may raise against Lessor with respect to any such Existing
Security Deposit and prepaid rent. Lessor shall continue to hold the Security Deposit to secure Assignee’s performance as
“Lessee” under the Lease. In addition, Assignee shall be required to deposit with Lessor the amount of $1,200,000.00
as an additional Security Deposit under the Lease (the “Additional Security Deposit”) to be held by Lessor as security
for the performance of Assignee’s obligations under the Lease, subject to all of the terms and conditions of Paragraph 5
of the Lease. Such Additional Security Deposit shall be funded as follows: (i) Guarantor shall deposit 800,000 shares of common
stock of Reed’s Inc. to be held with Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., in an account pledged to and for the benefit of Lessor,
to be sold in increments of 250,000 shares per quarter until a total of $1,200,000 has been generated from such quarterly sales,
and (ii) all proceeds from such sales (up to $1,200,000) shall be immediately delivered to Lessor and held by Lessor as the Additional
Security Deposit, to secure Lessee’s obligations under the Lease as described above. Guarantor and Assignee agree to take
such other actions as may be necessary to effectuate the sales of the securities and the transfer of the proceeds from such sales
to Lessor, as described above. Any failure of Lessee or Guarantor to comply with the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 4
shall constitute a default by the Lessee under the Lease.

 

    	1

    	 

    

 

5.
PRORATIONS. As between Assignor and Assignee, all amounts due to Lessor under the Lease (including, without limitation, rent
payments, transfers of applicable utility accounts, vendors contracts) shall be prorated equitably between Assignor and Assignee
as of the Effective Date (but Assignor and Assignee shall be jointly and severally liable to Lessor for all such amounts to the
extent attributable to periods prior to the Effective Date).

 

6.
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Consent and all of the terms, covenants and conditions thereof shall be binding upon, and shall
inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Consent
does not constitute a consent to any subsequent subletting or assignment and does not relieve Assignee or any person claiming
under or through Assignee of the obligation to obtain the consent of Lessor as required under paragraph 12 of the Lease for any
future assignment or sublease. This Consent may not be amended, modified or altered except by a written instrument executed by
all parties hereto. This Consent shall be governed by and construed in accordance with and pursuant to the laws of the State of
California.

 

7.
AmendmentS TO Lease.

 

(a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the Right of First Refusal to Purchase (Standard Lease Addendum)
set forth in Paragraph 54 of the Lease, and the Option to Purchase (Standard Lease Addendum) set forth in Paragraph 55 of the
Lease, are each hereby deleted in their entirety and shall be of no further force or effect. The Option to Extend (Standard Lease
Addendum) set forth in Paragraph 53 of the Lease shall remain in effect.

 

(b)
Throughout the term of the Lease, Assignee (and any successor or assignee of Assignee’s interest under the Lease) shall
furnish Lessor with true and complete copies of its annual and quarterly financial statements prepared by Assignee (or its successor
or assigns, as applicable) or its accountants and any other financial information or summaries that Assignee (or its successor
or assigns, as applicable) typically provides to its lenders or shareholders. Such annual statements shall be audited by an independent
certified public accountant at Assignee’s (or its successor’s or assigns’, as applicable) sole cost and expense
(or, if not audited, then certified as true and accurate by a financial officer of Assignee or its successors or assigns, as applicable).

 

8.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ASSIGNOR. Assignor warrants, represents and certifies to Lessor that as of the date of this
Consent: (a) Lessor is not in default under the Lease; and (b) Assignor does not have any defenses or offsets to payment of rent
and performance of its obligations under the Lease as and when same becomes due, (c) Assignor has full right and authority to
assign its interest to Assignee, and (d) except for this Assignment, no other transfer or assignment of the Lease or Premises
or subletting of the Premises or any part thereof has been previously made.

 

9.
COUNTERPARTS. This Consent may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original,
and all of such counterparts shall constitute one agreement. To facilitate execution of this Consent, the parties may execute
and exchange by telephone facsimile or electronic mail counterparts of the signature pages which facsimile or electronic mail
counterparts shall be binding as original signature pages.

 

10.
BROKERS. Each party warrants that it has had no dealings with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution
of this Consent. Each party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other parties harmless from and against any and all claims,
losses, liabilities, and damages by any broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue
of having dealt with such party with regard to this Consent and the transactions referenced herein.

 

11.
ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Lease to the contrary, Assignor shall pay all of Lessor’s
attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the Consent. Should any party be required to bring legal action to enforce its
rights under this Consent, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover from the losing party its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs in addition to any other relief to which it is entitled. Such recovery of attorneys’ fees
shall include any attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding, including stay
litigation. The parties further agree that any attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing any judgment are recoverable as a separate
item, and that this provision is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Consent shall survive the judgment,
and is not to be deemed merged into the judgment.

 

12.
NON DISCLOSURE OF TERMS. Lessor and Assignee each acknowledges and agrees that the terms of the Consent are intended to be
confidential and agrees that it shall not disclose the terms and conditions of the Consent without the prior written consent of
Assignor.

 

13.
CONSENT OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent, Lessor hereby consents to the Assignment.
It is understood and agreed, however, that the foregoing consent is not a waiver of Lessor’s right to consent to or impose
restrictions upon any future assignment or subletting pursuant to the Lease.

 

14.
WAIVER. Except as explicitly stated in this Consent, nothing contained in this Consent shall be deemed or construed to modify,
waive, impair, or affect any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, or conditions contained in the Lease.

GUARANTY
OF LEASE

 

This
Guaranty of Lease (“Guaranty”) is entered into as of the latest date set forth on the signature page
attached hereto, by Christopher Reed and Judy H. Reed, a married couple (collectively, “Guarantor”),
in favor of 525 South Douglas Street, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Lessor”), with respect
to certain obligations of California Custom Beverage, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lessee”).

 

Guarantor
is financially interested in Lessee, and, in order to induce Lessor to enter into that certain ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF LEASE
AND CONSENT OF LESSOR dated as of December 31, 2018 (the “Assignment and Consent”) between Lessor, as
lessor, Reed’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Original Lessee”) as assignor, and Lessee, as assignee,
with respect to that certain Standard Industrial/Commercial Single-Tenant Lease – Net dated May 7, 2009, as amended by that
certain Amendment Number One dated on October 1, 2014 and that certain Lease Amendment Number Two fully executed on October 13,
2016 (collectively, as amended, including pursuant to the express terms of the Assignment and Consent, the “Lease”),
Guarantor is willing to enter into this Guaranty. Pursuant to the Assignment and Consent, Original Lessee has assigned its interest
under the Lease to Lessee, and Lessee has assumed Original Lessee’s interest thereunder, and accordingly Lessee has become
the “Lessee” under the Lease. The Lease is with respect to certain Premises located at 12930 and 13000 South Spring
Street, Los Angeles, CA 90061.

 

1.
Guaranty. In order to induce Lessor to enter into the Assignment and Consent, Guarantor unconditionally, absolutely,
and irrevocably guarantees and promises to Lessor full and complete payment and performance by Lessee of all covenants, terms
and conditions of the Lease, as the same may hereafter be modified, amended, extended or renewed, including but not limited to
payment when due of rent and other sums due under the Lease (including, without limitation, Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses,
and all additional Rent) and all damages to which Lessor is or may be entitled whether under California Civil Code Section 1951.2
upon a termination of the Lease or otherwise, indemnification payments and payment of any and all legal fees, court costs and
litigation expenses incurred by Lessor in endeavoring to collect or enforce any of the foregoing against Lessee, Guarantor, or
any other person liable thereon (whether or not suit be brought), or in connection with any property securing any or all of the
foregoing or this Guaranty. All sums due under this Guaranty shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the
maximum contract rate permitted by law. This is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectability, which
shall remain in full force and effect during the term of the Lease, as renewed or extended, and thereafter until Lessee’s
obligations are fully satisfied, and Guarantor waives any right under California Civil Code Section 2815 to revoke this Guaranty
based upon a failure of continuing consideration or otherwise. If all or any portion of the obligations guaranteed are paid or
performed, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect in the event that all or any part of such payment or performance
is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Lessor as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise. Guarantor’s
liability is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease and Guarantor
waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that by doing so Guarantor is liable
even if Lessee had no liability at the time of execution of the Lease or thereafter ceases to be liable. Guarantor expressly waives
any and all rights, benefits and defenses under Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2845, 2848, 2849 and 2850 of the
Civil Code of the State of California, as recodified from time to time (except the right to require contribution from co-sureties
as set forth in Section 2848 therein), and agrees that by doing so its liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than
that of Lessee.

 

2.
Changes Do Not Affect Liability. Guarantor consents and agrees that Lessor may, without notice or demand and in
its sole and absolute discretion and without affecting Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, from time to time (a)
renew, compromise or settle, extend, accelerate, grant extensions of time or otherwise change or amend the Lease or any of Lessee’s
obligations under the Lease; (b) take, hold, release, waive, exchange, modify or enforce any security for the payment and performance
of this Guaranty or the payment and performance of the Lease and make elections under the federal bankruptcy laws concerning any
such security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lessor in its discretion may determine;
(d) release or substitute any one or more of the persons liable for Lessee’s obligations under the Lease or guarantors of
the Lease, including but not limited to any other person signing this Guaranty; (e) accept or make compositions or other arrangements
or file or refrain from filing a claim in any bankruptcy proceeding of Lessee or any other guarantor or pledgor; and (f) otherwise
deal with Lessee or any other guarantor or pledgor or party related to the Lease or any security or collateral in such manner
as Lessor may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor waives
the rights and benefits under California Civil Code § 2819 and agrees that by doing so its liability shall continue even
if Lessor alters any obligations under the Lease in any respect or Lessor’s rights or remedies against Lessee are in any
way impaired or suspended without Guarantor’s consent. Lessor may without notice assign this Guaranty in whole or in part.
The Lease may be assigned either by Lessor or Lessee or the premises sublet in whole or in part without Guarantor’s consent
or notice to Guarantor and without affecting the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

3.
Waivers by Guarantor of Certain Rights and Defenses. Guarantor waives and relinquishes any rights it may have under
California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849, 2850 and 2856 or otherwise to require Lessor to (a) proceed against Lessee or any other
guarantor, pledgor or person liable under the Lease; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security for the Lease or this Guaranty;
or (c) pursue any other remedy in Lessor’s power whatsoever. In other words, Lessor may proceed against Guarantor for the
obligations guaranteed without first taking any action against Lessee or any other guarantor, pledgor or person liable under the
Lease and without proceeding against any security. Guarantor shall not have, and hereby waives (1) any right of subrogation, contribution,
indemnity and any similar right that Guarantor may otherwise have, (2) any right to any remedy which Lessor now has or may hereafter
have against Lessee, and (3) any benefit of any security now or hereafter held by Lessor. Guarantor waives (A) all presentments,
demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protests and notices of dishonor; (B) all other notices
and demands to which Guarantor might be entitled, including without limitation notice of all of the following: the acceptance
hereof; any adverse change in Lessee’s financial position; any other fact which might increase Guarantor’s risk; any
default, partial payment or non-payment under the Lease; any and all agreements and arrangements between Lessor and Lessee and
any changes, modifications, or extensions thereof; and any revocation, modification or release of any guaranty of any or all of
the Lease by any person (including without limitation any other person signing this Guaranty); (C) any defense arising by reason
of any failure of Lessor to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force any security interest in any property of Lessee or any
other person; (D) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment
of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against Lessee or any other guarantor or any person liable under
the Lease, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the obligations guaranteed hereby
in or as a result of any such proceeding, any rejection of the Lease and any limitation on Lessor’s claim for rejection
damages under 11 U.S.C. § 502(b)(6) (which contains a limitation equal to the greater of one (1) year’s rent or fifteen
percent (15%) of the rent for the remaining term of the Lease (not to exceed three (3) years)) or otherwise; (E) any defense arising
by reason of any disability or other defense of Lessee or any other guarantor or any other person or by reason of the cessation
from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Lessee or any other guarantor or any other person; (F) the right to a jury trial
in any action under this Guaranty or relating to this Guaranty; and (G) the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation with
respect to any action based upon, arising out of or related to this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
or any other provision of this Guaranty, Guarantor expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to
Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections (i) 2822 (which provides in part that if a surety is liable upon only a portion
of an obligation and the principal provides partial satisfaction of the obligation, the principal may designate the portion of
the obligation that is to be satisfied); (ii) 2839 (which provides that a surety is exonerated by the performance or the offer
of performance of the principal obligation); (iii) 2899 (which provides for the order of resort to different funds held by the
creditor); and (iv) 3433 (which provides for the right of a creditor to require that another creditor entitled to resort to several
sources of payments first resort to sources not available to the first creditor).

 

4.
Independent Liability; Joint and Several Liability. Guarantor agrees that one or more successive or concurrent actions
may be brought on this Guaranty against Guarantor, in the same action in which Lessee may be sued or in separate actions, as often
as deemed advisable by Lessor. The obligations under this Guaranty are joint and several, and independent of the obligations of
Lessee. If Guarantor is a married person, Guarantor agrees that recourse may be had against his separate property and/or community
property for all of his obligations under this Guaranty.

 

5.
Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. Lessor shall have the right to seek recourse against Guarantor to the full extent
provided for in this Guaranty and in any other instrument or agreement evidencing obligations of Guarantor to Lessor, and against
Lessee to the full extent of the obligations guaranteed hereby. No election in one form of action or proceeding, or against any
party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Lessor’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding
or against any other party. The failure of Lessor to enforce any of the provisions of this Guaranty at any time or for a period
of time shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such provision or the right thereafter to enforce the same. All remedies
under this Guaranty shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Lessor by law or
under any other instrument or agreement.

 

6.
Financial Condition of Lessee. Guarantor acknowledges that certain facts concerning Lessee and Lessee’s financial
condition may be known or become known to Lessor. Guarantor waives any right to require Lessor to furnish such information to
Guarantor and agrees not to assert any defense Guarantor may have based upon Lessor’s failure to furnish such information.
Guarantor acknowledges that, in executing this Guaranty and at all times hereafter, Guarantor relies and will continue to rely
upon its own investigation and sources other than Lessor for all information and facts relating to Lessee and Lessee’s financial
condition.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

7.
Subordination. Any indebtedness of Lessee now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to Lessee’s
obligations under the Lease; and such indebtedness of Lessee to Guarantor, if Lessor so requests, shall be collected, enforced
and received by Guarantor as trustee for Lessor and be paid over to Lessor on account of the obligations owed by Lessee to Lessor
but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

 

8.
Bankruptcy of Lessee. Guarantor shall not commence or join with any other person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization
or insolvency proceedings against Lessee or any person liable for Lessee’s obligations under the Lease. Guarantor shall
file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or permitted by law all claims which Guarantor
may have against Lessee relating to any indebtedness of Lessee to Guarantor and will assign to Lessor all rights of Guarantor
thereunder. Lessor shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceedings and to take any other action
which a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy, or otherwise, the person
or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Lessor the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary
for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Lessor all of Guarantor’s right to any such payments or distributions to which
Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied
except to the extent that Lessor receives cash by reason of any such payments or distribution. If Lessor receives anything hereunder
other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. If the Lease is rejected in any bankruptcy
proceeding, it shall not affect Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty for all of the obligations of Lessee under the
Lease due or to become due thereunder, and in addition thereto, at the option of Lessor, Guarantor shall either assume the Lease
and pay and perform all of the obligations of the tenant thereunder or enter into a new lease with Lessor on substantially all
of the terms and conditions of the Lease for the remaining term of the Lease.

 

9.
Successors and Assigns; Amendment. All rights, benefits and privileges under this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by Lessor and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon Guarantor and his heirs, representatives,
successors and assigns. Neither the death of Guarantor nor notice thereof to Lessor shall terminate this Guaranty as to his estate,
and, notwithstanding the death of Guarantor or notice thereof to Lessor, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.
The provisions of this Guaranty may not be waived or amended except in a writing executed by Guarantor and a duly authorized representative
of Lessor.

 

10.
Reports and Financial Statements of Guarantor. Guarantor shall, at its sole cost and expense, at any time and from
time to time, but not more often than once annually, deliver to Lessor upon Lessor’s request (a) such financial statements
and reports concerning Guarantor for such periods of time as Lessor may designate and (b) copies of any and all foreign, federal,
state and local tax returns and reports of or relating to Guarantor as Lessor may from time to time request. Guarantor shall immediately
deliver written notice to Lessor of any adverse change in Guarantor’s financial condition and of any condition or event
which constitutes a default of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. Whenever requested, Guarantor shall deliver
to Lessor a certificate signed by Guarantor warranting and representing that all reports, financial statements and other documents
and information delivered or caused to be delivered to Lessor under this Guaranty, are complete, correct and thoroughly and accurately
present the financial condition of Guarantor, and that there exists on the delivery date of the certificate to Lessor no condition
or event which constitutes a default of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. Guarantor shall also be required to
deliver estoppel certificates in the form and at the times when Lessee shall be required to deliver estoppel certificates under
the Lease, which may include a statement to the effect that this Guaranty remains in effect and that Guarantor has no rights of
offset or defenses to enforcement of this Guaranty.

 

11.
Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it is in Guarantor’s direct interest
to assist Lessee in procuring the Lease, because Lessee has a direct or indirect corporate or business relationship with Guarantor,
(b) this Guaranty has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes the binding obligation of Guarantor,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, and (c) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty does not violate (with or without
the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both) any order, judgment, decree, instrument or agreement to which Guarantor is
a party or by which it or its assets are affected or bound.

 

12.
Intentionally Omitted.

 

13.
Construction; Severability; Integration. When this Guaranty is executed by more than one Guarantor, the word “Guarantor”
shall mean all and any one or more of them. Words used in this Guaranty in the masculine or neuter gender shall include the masculine,
neuter and feminine gender, and words used in this Guaranty in the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, wherever
the context so reasonably requires. If any provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any party or circumstance
is held invalid, void, inoperative, or unenforceable, the remainder of this Guaranty and the application of such provision to
other parties or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, the provisions of this Guaranty being severable in any such instance.
This Guaranty is the entire and only agreement between Guarantor and Lessor respecting the guaranty of the Lease, and all representations,
warranties, agreements, or undertakings heretofore or contemporaneously made, which are not set forth in this Guaranty, are superseded.
