 CONTRACT MANUFACTURING AND PACKAGING AGREEMENT 

 

 Agreement dated as of May 29, 2009 by and between Annie’s Enterprises, Inc.
(d/b/a Annie’s Naturals) (“Customer”) and Chelten House Products, Inc. (“Manufacturer”), each a “Party” and together the “Parties”. 

1. Manufacture of Products. 
 Customer
Responsibility. Each week Customer will provide Manufacturer with a [***] week rolling forecast for the products set forth on Schedule A (the “Products”) and will issue purchase orders to the Manufacturer for the quantity of
Products it wishes to be produced. 
 Annual Minimum Order Volume Forecast. The annual minimum order volume forecast
(“Forecast”) is [***] million six count equivalent cases (“SCE Cases”) in each year of the Term of this Agreement. The Forecast will be mutually negotiated by Parties for each renewal period. If Customer elects to
utilize a secondary co-packer to produce any of the Products set forth on Schedule A, and the actual SCE Cases of Products ordered from Manufacturer falls below the Forecast in any year of the Term of this Agreement, Customer will use its best
efforts to move production from the secondary co-packer to Manufacturer to increase Manufacturer’s production back to Forecast level. 

Manufacturer Responsibility. Manufacturer shall have full responsibility for timely procurement of and payment for all materials and necessary to
produce and package Products for Customer under this Agreement (the “Materials”). Manufacturer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve purchasing synergies and reduce Materials costs. Manufacturer shall store all
Materials in accordance with good manufacturing practices prevailing in the industry and in strict compliance with the Specifications and the terms of this Agreement. Manufacturer shall purchase in quantities that it deems fit, but unless approved
in writing, Customer shall be liable only for such quantities of Materials as would normally be used (based upon the rolling forecast provided by the Customer at the time of the purchase) by Manufacturer within three months of such purchase.
Manufacturer shall manufacture, package, store and ship to Customer the Products in the quantities and according to the terms and conditions set forth on Customer’s purchase order and in accordance with the specifications set forth on Schedule
B (the “Specifications”). Each week Manufacturer shall provide to Customer the production and shipping schedule for Customer’s Products and will provide accurate reporting of production amounts. 

 

 New Product Development and Formula Changes. Manufacturer shall use its best efforts to assist
Customer in the development of new products and/or the modification of existing Products to reduce costs and/or improve quality. All product development activities conducted for Customer in Manufacturer’s laboratory will be the
Manufacturer’s responsibility excluding the cost of ingredients utilized. Production tests will be billed using the fee schedule set forth on Schedule A plus the cost of any Materials used in the test. Manufacturer will provide to Customer an
estimate of the number of full and/or 1/2 days that will be required for any production test, prior to any scheduled test days. All such new Products or modifications shall be the sole property of the Customer. 

Facility. Manufacturer shall produce and package the Products at its facility as set forth on Schedule A. Manufacturer represents and warrants
that Manufacturer shall for the term of this Agreement solely operate the facility and all processing equipment located in the facility. Unless there is a material change in the Products and/or Specifications, Manufacturer shall be responsible for
any changes necessary to the facility and for the purchase of any processing equipment necessary to produce the Products. 
 2. Rejection of
Products. Customer may reject and refuse to pay for Products within [***] days of delivery which (i) have been damaged during manufacturing, storage or handling while the Products were in Manufacturer’s custody, or (ii) are not in
material compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, Customer may reject any Products that do not fully comply with the Specifications. If Customer has previously paid Manufacturer for Products that are later rejected by
Customer for failure to fully comply with Specifications, Customer shall invoice Manufacturer, including all supporting documentation, for the cost of such rejected Products including the costs of any Provided Materials and for any freight, handling
or other disposition costs or expenses incurred by Customer in connection with such rejected Products and shall receive credit from Manufacturer (or payment from Manufacturer, if no amounts are then due from Customer to Manufacturer) within 30 days
of such invoice. 
 3. Compliance with Applicable Law. The Parties agree that Manufacturer will provide Products of consistent quality
composed of safe and wholesome ingredients, manufactured, packaged, stored, and shipped under conditions compliant with all applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

 4. Quality and Inventory Control, Inspection and Notice. 

Quality Control. Manufacturer shall manufacture, prepare, store and label according to procedures set forth on Schedule C, Manufacturer Quality
System Requirements, Testing and Records. 
 Inventory Control. Manufacturer shall store and safeguard the inventory of Customer’s
Products to protect it at all times from theft, damage or other loss in accordance with best practices in the industry and in strict compliance with the Specifications and terms of this Agreement. Customer shall have the right at any time upon
reasonable notice and during regular business hours (unless otherwise agreed) and at Customer’s expense to inspect and perform a physical count of the inventory of Customer’s Products using such personnel of Customer or Customer’s
representatives (including auditors) as Customer determines to use in its sole discretion. 
 Quality Control Records and Samples.
Manufacturer shall prepare and submit to Customer quality control records and reports and shall retain one (1) sample for quality control purposes from each production batch of each of the Products for the period of time specified on Schedule
C. Customer may request production samples from Manufacturer at any time, and Manufacturer shall send samples to Customer at Customer’s cost unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. 
 Inspection Reports. Manufacturer shall make available to Customer, at the request of Customer, the results of all federal, state and local inspection reports and sanitation audits, conducted from
[***] days before to [***] days after the Term of this Agreement, including any renewals. 
 Notice. Manufacturer shall notify Customer
immediately by telephone and in writing of any such inspections or audits, or any other information, that indicate that presence of any bacteriological agent or any substance that is considered by health authorities as being indicative of either
unsanitary practices or of public health concern or if any of Manufacturer’s facilities, processes, inventories or equipment are in an unsanitary condition as defined by 21 CFR Section 110 et seq. Manufacturer shall notify Customer within
24 hours of any adulteration or potential misbranding of the Products. 
 5. Price and Payment Terms

term of this Agreement are set forth on Schedule A. [***] days prior to renewal of this Agreement, Manufacturer shall provide a notice of the proposed conversion costs for the renewal term with sufficient supporting documentation and Manufacturer
will allow Customer to inspect and verify the documentation during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to the Manufacturer. The Parties shall negotiate the conversion costs for the new term in good faith. In the event mutually acceptable
conversion costs cannot be reached within [***] days of renewal, Customer may elect to exclude a specific Product from the revised Exhibit A or either Party may elect to terminate this Agreement on [***] days’ notice. All orders during the

 6. Term. The initial Term of this Agreement shall be three
(3) years from the date that Parties mutually agree in writing that formula qualification is materially complete and production has commenced, unless earlier canceled or terminated as provided in Section 11. This Agreement shall thereafter
renew automatically each year for a period of one (1) year unless either Party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other Party at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. In the event that either

 to continue to manufacture Products for up to 90 days following the expiration date on the same terms as in
effect prior to expiration. 
 7. Confidentiality. 
 Recipes/Formulas. The Parties agree that the specific recipes and/or formulas provided by Customer and used by Manufacturer in accordance with the Specifications for the Products (the
“Formulas”) will remain exclusive to the Customer and will not be disclosed by the Manufacturer to other customers of the Manufacturer or to any other person or entity. Customer hereby grants to Manufacturer a limited,
non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Formulas for the purpose of allowing Manufacturer to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
 Confidential Information. During the Term of this Agreement and at all times thereafter, neither Party will disclose or use, either for itself or for the benefit of any third party any confidential
information (“Confidential Information”) of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) except in furtherance of the purposes of this Agreement. The provisions of this paragraph, however, shall not prevent the Party receiving
the Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) from use or disclosure of Confidential Information (i) that is in the public domain (other than information in the public domain as a result of a violation of this Agreement by the
Receiving Party), (ii) that the Receiving Party can demonstrate that it acquired outside of its relationship with the Disclosing Party from a third party in rightful possession of such Confidential Information and who was not prohibited from
disclosing such Confidential Information, (iii) disclosure of which is required by law or court order, or (iv) that is developed independently by personnel of the Receiving Party who have not had access to Confidential Information.

any of Customer trademarks or with respect to Products. 
 9. Indemnification. Manufacturer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
Customer, along with its employees, dealers, distributors, affiliates, and other agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any claim asserted by any third party, including any governmental agency, arising out of any error,
omission, violation of law, or action taken by Manufacturer in connection with this Agreement.

additional insured. 
 11. Termination. 
 Manufacturer may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days’ written notice if Customer (i) fails to make any payment due under this Agreement and such nonpayment continues 30 days
after written notice from Manufacturer or (ii) fails to perform any other obligation under this Agreement and such failure continues thirty (30) days after written notice from Manufacturer. 

Customer may terminate this Agreement upon giving thirty (30) days’ written notice identifying specifically the basis for such notice for
breach of a material term or condition of this Agreement, provided that Manufacturer shall not have cured such breach within the thirty (30) day period; and provided further that a termination for contamination or adulteration of a Product,
unless otherwise specified, shall be immediate (i.e., without cure period). 
 Each Party reserves the right upon a breach of this Agreement by
the other Party to pursue all of its legal and equitable remedies. 
 Either Party hereto may terminate this Agreement effective immediately
upon written notice to the other party if the other party: (i) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or has an involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against it, which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after its institution,
(ii) is adjudged as bankrupt, (iii) becomes insolvent, (iv) has a receiver, trustee, conservator or liquidator appointed for all or a substantial part of its assets, (v) ceases to do business, (vi) commences any dissolution,
liquidation or winding up, or (vii) makes an assignment of its assets for the benefit of its creditors. 
 Either Party may terminate this
Agreement at any time on or after the third anniversary (i.e. during any renewal Term) without payment of any termination fee upon giving ninety (90) days’ written notice to other Party. If Manufacturer elects to terminate this agreement,
Customer shall have the right to require Manufacturer to continue to manufacture Products for up to 120 days following the termination date on the same terms as in effect prior to termination.

	Customer Audits	  	Customer has the right to inspect manufacturing and warehouse facilities where machines are in operation, and where finished Product, ingredients, and packaging materials are
stored. During the course of the audit, Customer’s designated representatives have the authority to stop production of Products, reject Products for sale or shipment, and implement withdrawal of Product that do not meet Customer Specifications
at the expense of the Manufacturer. On occasion, random samples of raw materials, ingredients, and finished product may be collected by Customer personnel and forwarded to an independent laboratory for analysis. The purpose is to survey Product to
assure compliance to microbiological, physical, or chemical specifications.

bags, paper bags, sterile utensils, etc. should be identical to that which the Inspector uses during collection.

		
		  	 2.      Sufficient sampling equipment should be available, properly prepared, and readily
attainable for both the Inspector’s and factory use.

		
		  	 3.      It is imperative that samples be collected in exactly the same manner as the Inspector
uses. The material should be handled with an instrument similar to that used by the Inspector.

		
		  	 4.      Collect three samples in addition to the one taken by the inspector. The
triplicate product should be taken from the closest proximity to the regulatory sample as possible (e.g., the next package produced). The amount of sample taken should be approximately three (3) times as much as the Inspector
samples.

		
		  	 5.      Samples must be labeled or otherwise adequately identified with the following minimum
information:

		
		  	 a.      Date and Time of Day.

		
		  	 b.      Location: Line pallet number, etc.

 Mr. John Foraker 
 Chief Executive Officer 
 Homegrown Naturals, Inc. 

Vice President Production 
 564 Gateway Drive

 Napa, California 94558 
 Dear John:

 Please let this letter serve as our purchase agreement between Leone Industries (“Leone”) and Homegrown Naturals, Inc.
(“Homegrown”) for a period of approximately eighteen months beginning January 12, 2007 through June 30, 2008 and one year from July 1, 2008 until June 30, 2009 (the “Term”). 

This agreement is based upon several factors among which are: 
  

	 	•	 	 that Homegrown Naturals, Inc., their successors or assigns will purchase[***] 

[***]     as well as those items as stated below of these approximate styles and sizes from Leone Industries.

  

	 	•	 	 that these items are packed in one or half dozen RSCs as noted below with one color printing. All items are packed with fibre partitions for safety
reasons. 

  

	 	•	 	 that pricing is based upon Homegrown Naturals purchasing[***] 

[***] 
  

	 	•	 	 Homegrown Naturals may mix any shipment with any or all items as they do today. 

Currently, all glass is made domestically so there should be no issues or delays with ship sailings, customs, the Long Shoreman’s union, port
closings, strikes in other countries, currency fluctuations, available ships due to increases in shipping traffic to other regions of the world or the changes in the Department of Homeland Security’s levels of their advisory system or their
newly increased inspections of incoming containers and the associated delay and cost. 
 All orders will be direct with the manufacturing
facility without a middleman and their calling a 1-800 call center. You will maintain the same representative who has worked hard coordinating both coasts and the Potwins. 
 Our facility is inspected periodically by AIB and recently received the highest level awarded of Superior for Food Safety and Hygiene. All of our glass containers exceed California’s and
Oregon’s recycled content requirements of a minimum of 35% post-consumer waste with a recycled percentage closer to 50%. We currently also have two of the cleanest glass furnaces in the world and produce little or no NOX.

 Releases & Freight: 
 The delivered estimated prices set forth above, as well as any prices proposed for production of less than the minimum production quantity of an item, depend on Leone receiving sufficient notice of
releases so that it can arrange delivery to Homegrown Naturals. We must ask for you to present your releases as soon as possible and at the very least[***] days before the delivery to Vermont would be scheduled or pickup for West Coast delivery. For
releases presented after these cutoffs, Leone will make every reasonable efforts to arrange delivery at the best price obtainable but may invoice for any charges (including detention charges, if any occur. Homegrown Naturals agrees to pay such
freight charges. 
 Wooden Pallets: 
 All items are shipped on standard GMA four way 40x48 wooden pallets which are billed at $[***] each (due within[***]days) and are non-returnable. Leone Industries reserves the right to review and/or
revise the pallet pricing if their cost of wooden pallets increases during the term of this agreement. 
 Energy Surcharge 

An energy surcharge will continue to be in effect during the period of this agreement. The energy surcharge will track the[***]
                                        
[***]                    . On the 15th day of each month the twelve month average or “1-Year” price will be used to calculate the energy
surcharge that will go into effect on the following 1st day of the next month. 
 Exclusive Requirements; Right of First Refusal

 During the Term of this Agreement Homegrown Naturals shall purchase exclusively from Leone its total requirements of glass containers,
including but not limited to those listed above, except that: 
  

	•	 	 If Homegrown Naturals has glass packaging requirements other than those items described above, then Homegrown Naturals shall afford Leone the right of

to determining the pertinent glass packaging requirement, (b) Leone has declined to submit a proposal within[***]days from Leone’s receipt of a written request for proposal, and (c) Homegrown Naturals has thereafter received a written
proposal from another source which has been presented to Leone and an officer of Leone has declined to match the terms of the written proposal within[***]days from presentation to Leone. 

 

	•	 	 Within [***] days before the end of the Term Homegrown Naturals shall submit to Leone a written request for a proposal to fulfill Homegrown
Natural’s requirements of these containers for a term (the “Renewal Term”) of no less than one year from the date this Agreement expires. That proposal shall specify all information reasonably necessary to determining the pertinent
glass packaging requirement for the Renewal Term. Homegrown Naturals may fill its requirements for these containers during the Renewal Term from a source other than Leone only if (a) Leone has declined to submit a proposal within[***]days from
Leone’s receipt of a written request for proposal, or (b) Homegrown Naturals has thereafter received a written proposal from another source which has been presented to Leone and an officer of Leone has declined to match the terms of the

 Refrigerated Dressing 
 We have begun work with Annie on the design of the new refrigerated dressing line. If the time frame, Annie is telling us is correct then we need to move quickly. 

Mould Amortization 
 A set of mould
equipment costs, as you may know, between $[***]     and $[***]     . For this reason, we require that a customer for whom we build a new item purchase a minimum quantity of that item within the contract
period. If a customer purchases at least that minimum quantity within the specified period, then we consider the mould commitment fully satisfied and the customer incurs no expense other than the quoted price of the glass. If a customer’s
purchases do not meet the minimum, however, we require the customer to reimburse us for the unamortized mould cost at the rate of: 
  

							
		  				  	[***]
	[***]	  	 	X	  	  	
	  
	  				  	
	[***]	  				  	

 Terms 

Our terms of payment are net [***] days from the invoice date in U.S. dollars. Payments received within ten days of invoice date earn a one percent
discount on that portion of the invoice amount which represents glass, F.O.B. Bridgeton, New Jersey and not including pallet charges. We will charge interest at [***] percent per month on all amounts outstanding for more than
[***]     days, including the billed amount ($[***] each) for pallets. If a customer’s account discloses amounts of any sort outstanding for more than[***]         days we will not
release glass to that customer until payment is received for all amounts outstanding for[***]     or more days.
