CONTRACT COMPLETION
AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This Contract Completion Agreement and General Release
(“Agreement”) is entered into by and among Merisant Company (“Merisant”) and
Anthony J. Nocchiero (“Nocchiero”).

WHEREAS, Nocchiero’s employment with Merisant has
terminated, and Nocchiero and Merisant desire to enter into this Agreement to
set forth the terms of Nocchiero’s resignation, including provision of the
payments and benefits set forth herein to Nocchiero in recognition of his services
to Merisant; and

WHEREAS, Nocchiero and Merisant currently are parties
to an Employment Agreement dated July 18, 2005 and Exhibits thereto
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Employment Agreement”), a true
and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 hereto, and Nocchiero and
Merisant Worldwide, Inc. are parties to an Indemnification Agreement dated July
18, 2005 (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnification Agreement”), a true
and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
promises and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties agree as follows:

1.             Resignation. 
Nocchiero hereby voluntarily resigns from any and all officer and
director positions (if any) with Merisant, Merisant US, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Merisant (“Merisant US”), Merisant
Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the parent of Merisant
(“Worldwide”) (Merisant, Merisant US and Worldwide collectively referred to
herein as the “Company”) and any and all other subsidiaries and other
affiliates thereof, as applicable, which resignations are effective at the
close of business on March 5, 2007. 
Nocchiero’s employment shall terminate at the close of business on March
31, 2007 (such date referred to herein as the “Separation Date”), which for all
purposes under the Employment Agreement shall be a termination by Merisant
without “Cause.”  Until the Separation
Date, Nocchiero shall perform such transition duties and responsibilities that
the Company may request from time to time (the “Transition Period”).  During the Transition Period, provided that
he does not revoke this Agreement in accordance with Paragraph 15 below,
Nocchiero shall continue to receive his current pro rated base salary and shall
participate in applicable Company benefit and incentive plans in which he
currently participates in accordance with their terms and conditions (as in
effect or as amended from time to time). 
The Company hereby accepts all such resignations by Nocchiero.

2.             Severance Payment and Benefits.  (a) 
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and provided that Nocchiero
complies with the terms of Paragraph 6 of the Employment Agreement (as limited
by the second sentence of Paragraph 5 of the Employment Agreement) and does not
revoke this Agreement in accordance with Paragraph 15 below, Merisant shall pay
Nocchiero the severance payments and benefits set forth in Paragraph 4(b) of
the Employment Agreement, including all “Accrued Benefits” (as that term is
defined in Paragraph 4(a) of the Employment Agreement).  The parties acknowledge and agree that,
pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Employment Agreement:

(i)                       Nocchiero’s
“Severance” (as that term is defined in Paragraph 4(b) of the Employment
Agreement), in the gross aggregate amount of $279,716 shall be paid in a lump
sum on April 2, 2007.

(ii)                    Nocchiero will
receive a lump-sum payment under the Merisant Company 2006 Annual Incentive
Plan in the gross amount $172,200, payable on or about March 15, 2007.

(iii)                 Nocchiero will
receive a lump-sum payment under the Merisant Company 2006 Supplemental
Incentive Plan in the gross amount $325,275, payable on or about March 15,
2007.

(iv)                Nocchiero will
receive a prorated lump-sum payment under the Merisant Company 2007 Annual
Incentive Plan (the “2007 AIP”) based on his service from January 1, 2007 to
the Separation Date and achievement of the Company-wide financial targets
adopted thereunder, which amount shall be determined by the Compensation
Committee of Merisant’s Board of Directors pursuant to the 2007 AIP and shall
be paid, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2007 AIP, when bonuses
under the 2007 AIP are payable in or about March 2008 to other Merisant senior
executives, provided that Nocchiero complies with his obligations under this
Agreement (including without limitation his obligations under Paragraphs 5 and
6 of the Employment Agreement).

(v)                   Nocchiero shall
be paid for his earned and unused vacation through the Separation Date in
accordance with Merisant’s regular payroll practices.

(vi)                  Nocchiero shall
be paid his earned and unpaid base salary at his current base salary rate
through the Separation Date in accordance with Merisant’s regular payroll
practices.

(vii)             Merisant shall pay the
premiums to continue Nocchiero’s current coverage under Merisant’s group dental
insurance and vision insurance and EAP plans (as in effect or amended from time
to time), and  $3,949 to be paid in a
lump sum on April 2, 2007 in full satisfaction of amounts to be paid for group
medical insurance coverage pursuant to Paragraph 3(d) of the Employment
Agreement in lieu of premiums Nocchiero would incur had he been enrolled in
Merisant’s group medical insurance (it being understood that Nocchiero
presently has medical coverage through another entity), from April 2007 through
March 2008, which in the case of such dental and vision insurance benefits is
subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of such plans and
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”).  Nocchiero shall be solely responsible for the
full costs of any such continued coverage beyond March 2008 pursuant to COBRA.

(viii)            Nocchiero shall submit
all documented business expense amounts for which he seeks reimbursement on or
before March 31, 2007, and shall not be entitled to or receive any expense
reimbursements for any amounts incurred thereafter (and submitted thereafter in
due course).

(ix)                    Nocchiero’s
participation, if any, in any employee benefit plans and policies of the
Company after the Separation Date will be determined in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such plans and policies, which plans, policies, terms
and conditions

 2
 

the Company may
amend, modify, suspend or terminate in accordance with the amendment
provision(s) of such plans and policies or applicable law.

 (x)                    Nocchiero will be permitted to
leave a voice-mail message at his office land-line and cellular telephone
numbers and automatic e-mail reply message at his office e-mail address until
May 31, 2007 providing callers his personal contact information.

(b)           All
payments and benefits payable pursuant to the Employment Agreement and this
Agreement shall be reduced by any and all required and authorized withholdings
and deductions.  Where applicable, any
and all such payments shall be sent to Nocchiero’s last known address on
Merisant’s records or to such other address as Nocchiero shall indicate to
Merisant in writing.

(c)           This
Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations and
rulings thereunder (“Section 409A”), so as to avoid the imposition of excise
taxes and other penalties (“409A Penalties”) under Section 409A with respect to
any amounts or benefits payable hereunder. 
In the event that any amounts or benefits payable hereunder would
subject Nocchiero to 409A Penalties, the Company and Nocchiero shall cooperate
diligently to amend the terms of this Agreement to the minimum extent required
to avoid, insofar as possible, such 409A Penalties while minimizing any
material and adverse economic, tax or accounting impact on the Company.

(d)           Except
as set forth in Paragraph 2(a) above, Nocchiero is not entitled to receive, and
shall not receive, any incentive, equity-based, severance, or other
compensation or benefits of any kind pursuant to the Employment Agreement, any
other agreement, plan, or policy, or otherwise. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing in any way:  (i) Nocchiero is not entitled to, and shall
not receive, any payment under the Merisant Company 2007 Supplemental Incentive
Plan; and (ii) Nocchiero is not entitled to, and shall not receive, any amount
under the Merisant Worldwide, Inc. 2005 Share Appreciation Plan, and agrees
that, except as provided below, any and all Appreciation Awards previously
granted to him thereunder are null, void and terminated in their entirety as of
the Separation Date; provided, Nocchiero shall be entitled to payment of his
award in connection with a covered transaction occurring within 180 days after
the Separation Date pursuant to the second sentence of Section 3 of the
Merisant Worldwide, Inc. 2005 Share Appreciation Award Letter dated December 5,
2005 (which entitlement is not waived under this Agreement).

3.             Confidentiality, Non-Competition
and Non-Solicitation; Indemnification.

(a)           Without
limiting the generality of Paragraph 17 of this Agreement in any way, Nocchiero
acknowledges and agrees that Paragraphs 5 and 6 and Exhibits A and C of the
Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with
their terms and that he shall comply therewith. 
The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not reduce,
limit, or otherwise modify Nocchiero’s obligations under Paragraphs 5 and 6 and
Exhibits A and C of the Employment Agreement. 
Nocchiero acknowledges and agrees that Competitive Enterprises with
respect to which the provisions of Paragraph 6 of the Employment

 3
 

Agreement apply include
those entities listed in Exhibit C of the Employment Agreement and those
additional entities listed on Exhibit 3 to this Agreement.

(b)           Nocchiero
and Merisant acknowledge and agree that the Indemnification Agreement (Exhibit
2 hereto) shall remain in full force and effect from and after the date hereof
as well as after the Separation Date, without any limitation by any other term
or provision of this Agreement.

4.             Comprehensive Release and Waiver of Claims.

(a)           Except for claims to
enforce this Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement and, respecting
Nocchiero’s accrued and vested benefits, any employee benefit plan in which he
is a participant immediately prior to the date hereof (collectively and
individually, Nocchiero’s rights under this Agreement, the Indemnification
Agreement and such benefit plans are referred to as “Protected Rights”),
Nocchiero and anyone claiming through him or on his behalf agree to waive,
release, acquit and forever discharge Merisant and the other Company Released
Parties (as defined in Section 6 below) with respect to any and all claims,
whether currently known or unknown, that Nocchiero now has, has ever had, or
may ever have against any of the Company Released Parties arising from or
related to any agreement, act, omission, or thing occurring or existing at any
time prior to or on the date on which Nocchiero signs this Agreement.  Except for Nocchiero’s Protected Rights,
without otherwise limiting the generality of the foregoing, the claims released
by Nocchiero hereunder include, but are not limited to:  (i) all claims for or related in any way to
Nocchiero’s employment, compensation, other terms and conditions of employment,
or termination from employment with the Company, including without limitation
all claims for payment under any Company incentive plans and claims for
severance pay and any other severance benefits; (ii) all claims that were or
could have been asserted by Nocchiero or on his behalf (x) in any federal,
state, or local court, commission, or agency, (y) under any common law theory,
or (z) under any employment, contract, tort, federal, state, or local law,
regulation, ordinance, constitution, or executive order; and (iii) all claims
that were or could have been asserted by Nocchiero or on his behalf arising
under any of the following laws, as amended from time to time:  the Age Discrimination in Employment Act,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act,
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act
of 1993, the Illinois Human Rights Act, and the Chicago and Cook County Human
Rights Ordinances.

(b)           Except for claims to
enforce this Agreement, Merisant, on behalf of the Company and all of its past
and present parents, divisions, subsidiaries, partnerships, affiliates, joint
ventures, joint venturers, and other related entities, and anyone claiming
through any of them or on their behalves (collectively, “Company Releasing
Parties”), agrees to waive, release, acquit and forever discharge Nocchiero and
his successors, assigns, spouses, descendants, heirs, executors and attorneys
(collectively, “Nocchiero Released Parties”) with respect to any and all claims
arising out of Nocchiero’s employment or the termination thereof, whether
currently known or unknown, that the Company Releasing Parties now have, have
ever had, or may ever have against any of the Nocchiero Released Parties at any
time prior to or on the date on which Merisant signs this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this release
does not include or otherwise affect any claims by the Company Releasing
Parties arising out of

 4
 

any criminal
conduct, or any intentional or reckless misconduct, or other gross misconduct
by Nocchiero.

5.             Certain Representations and

7.             Complete Settlement; No Further

satisfaction, compromise and settlement of any and all claims and potential

8.             Return of Property.  Without limiting, modifying or otherwise

9.             No Future Employment or
Engagement.  Nocchiero has no present
or future right to employment with the Company or any of the other Company

10.           Confidentiality.  Except as required by law or to enforce the
obligations established by this Agreement, Nocchiero agrees that, for so long
as this Agreement is treated as confidential by Merisant, he will not disclose
the terms of this Agreement to any third parties with the exception of his
accountants (and other personal financial advisors), attorneys, and spouse, and
shall use his reasonable best efforts to ensure that each such person maintains
any such disclosed information in the strictest confidence and does not
disclose any such information to any other person.  Nocchiero shall, to the extent practicable,
provide the Company and the other Company Released Parties with as much
advanced notice of any such legally required disclosure as practicable prior to
making any such disclosure.  Nothing
herein shall prohibit the Company from making disclosures pursuant to the
federal securities laws and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) promulgated thereunder and the rules of any stock exchange or national
securities market on which Merisant’s, Merisant US’s or Worldwide’s (or any of
their affiliates’) securities are traded. 
Nocchiero acknowledges and agrees that the Company may file a copy of
this Agreement with the SEC and, therefore, that the terms hereof will be publicly
disclosed.

11.           Cooperation.  Nocchiero agrees that he shall cooperate
fully with the Company and any of the other Company Released Parties during and
after the Transition Period:  (a) in
investigating, defending, prosecuting, litigating, filing, initiating or
asserting any actual or potential claims or investigations (including without
limitation in connection with any legal, equitable, administrative, or other
proceedings) that may be made by or against the Company or any of the other
Company Released Parties, to the extent that such claims or investigations may
relate to or arise out of Nocchiero’s employment with the Company or his
activities relating to or on behalf of any of the Company Released Parties; and
(b) in consulting with and providing assistance to the Company and the other Company
Released Parties on issues and matters that may relate to or arise out of
Nocchiero’s acts, duties and responsibilities during his employment with the
Company.  Nocchiero’s obligation to
cooperate hereunder shall include, without limitation, meeting with such
persons at such times and in such places as the Company and the other Company
Released Parties may reasonably require (which, after the Separation Date, does
not materially interfere with any other full-time business endeavor in which
Nocchiero is then engaged), and giving truthful evidence and truthful testimony
and executing and delivering to the Company and any of the other Company
Released Parties any papers requested by any of them (including without
limitation joint defense agreements, unless upon the advice of Nocchiero’s
counsel doing so would conflict with his interests in such or any other
proceeding, and truthful affidavits). 
Nocchiero shall be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by Nocchiero in rendering cooperation pursuant to this Section, including,
without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses and, in the standard of comfort
applicable to Nocchiero’s business travel prior to March 5, 2007, his
transportation, lodging and meal expenses.

12.           Nondisparagement.  Nocchiero shall refrain from all conduct,
verbal or otherwise, that disparages or damages or could disparage or damage
the reputation, goodwill, or standing in the community of the Company or any of
the other Company Released Parties,

 6
 

provided that he may give
truthful and non-malicious testimony if properly subpoenaed or otherwise
required to testify under oath.  Merisant
shall refrain from all conduct, verbal or otherwise, that disparages or damages
or could disparage or damage the reputation, goodwill, or standing in the
community of Nocchiero or any of the other Nocchiero Released Parties, provided
that a duly authorized officer or other employee of Merisant may give truthful
and non-malicious testimony if properly subpoenaed or otherwise required to testify
under oath.

13.           Injunctive Relief and Certain
Other Relief.  Without in any way
limiting the Company’s or any of the other Company Released Parties’ rights to
pursue any other legal or equitable remedies available to any of them,
Nocchiero recognizes and agrees that a breach of any or all of the provisions
of Sections 3, 10, 11 or 12 of this Agreement will cause immediate and
irreparable harm to the Company and the other Company Released Parties for
which damages cannot be readily calculated and for which they are an inadequate
remedy.  Accordingly, Nocchiero
acknowledges and agrees that the Company and the other Company Released Parties
shall be entitled (without the need to post any bond or other security) to injunctive
relief restraining and enjoining any further actual or threatened breaches by
Nocchiero in addition to any other relief that may be available.  Nocchiero shall reimburse the Company and the
other Company Released Parties for any and all costs and expenses (including
without limitation attorneys’ fees) incurred by any of them in connection with
the enforcement of any of their rights under this Agreement.  Without in any way limiting Nocchiero’s or
any of the other Nocchiero Released Parties’ rights to pursue any other legal
or equitable remedies available to any of them, Merisant recognizes and agrees
that a breach of any or all of the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement
will cause immediate and irreparable harm to Nocchiero and the other Nocchiero
Released Parties for which damages cannot be readily calculated and for which
they are an inadequate remedy. 
Accordingly, Merisant acknowledges and agrees that Nocchiero and the
other Nocchiero Released Parties shall be entitled (without the need to post
any bond or other security) to injunctive relief restraining and enjoining any
further actual or threatened breaches by Merisant (through any officer,
director or employee thereof) in addition to any other relief that may be
available.  Merisant shall reimburse
Nocchiero and the other Nocchiero Released Parties for any and all costs and
expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) incurred by any of them
in connection with the enforcement of any of their rights under this Agreement.

14.           No Admission.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to be
or shall be construed as an admission by the Company or any of the other
Company Released Parties that any of them violated any law, interfered with any
right, breached any obligation or otherwise engaged in any improper or illegal
conduct with respect to Nocchiero, any of the other Nocchiero Released Parties
or otherwise.  Nothing in this Agreement
is intended to be or shall be construed as an admission by Nocchiero that he
violated any law, interfered with any right, breached any obligation or
otherwise engaged in any improper or illegal conduct with respect to the
Company, any of the other Company Releasing Parties or otherwise.  Each of the Nocchiero Released Parties and
each of the Company Released Parties and Company Releasing Parties expressly
deny any such illegal or wrongful conduct.

15.           CERTAIN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND
RIGHTS OF NOCCHIERO.  NOCCHIERO
ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDERSTANDS, AND AGREES THAT:  
(a) HE HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE TERMS AND EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT;
(b) HE

 7
 

RELEASES AND WAIVES
CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, IN EXCHANGE FOR
CONSIDERATION IN ADDITION TO ANYTHING OF VALUE TO WHICH HE ALREADY IS ENTITLED;
(c) HE HEREBY IS AND HAS BEEN ADVISED OF HIS RIGHT TO HAVE HIS ATTORNEY REVIEW
THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE SIGNING IT; (d) HE HAS TWENTY-ONE (21) DAYS IN WHICH TO
CONSIDER WHETHER TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT; (e) WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS FROM THE
DATE ON WHICH HE SIGNS THIS AGREEMENT, HE MAY, AT HIS SOLE OPTION, REVOKE THIS
AGREEMENT UPON WRITTEN NOTICE TO JONATHAN COLE, ESQ., GENERAL COUNSEL, MERISANT
COMPANY, INC., 10 SOUTH RIVERSIDE, SUITE 850, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60606, AND (f)
THE AGREEMENT WILL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE UNTIL THIS SEVEN-DAY REVOCATION PERIOD
HAS EXPIRED WITHOUT ANY REVOCATION.  IF
NOCCHIERO REVOKES THIS AGREEMENT WITHIN THIS SEVEN-DAY PERIOD, IT SHALL BE NULL
AND VOID.

16.           Assignment.  This Agreement may be assigned or transferred
to, and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of:  (a) the Company, (b) any of the other Company
Released Parties, and (c) any person or entity that at any time (whether by
merger, purchase or otherwise) acquires all or substantially all of the assets,
ownership interests or business of the Company or any of the other Company
Released Parties.  Nocchiero may not
assign any of his rights or obligations under this Agreement.  Nocchiero’s right hereunder shall inure for
the benefit of his heirs, legatees and beneficiaries.  If Nocchiero shall die prior to payment of
all amounts due under this Agreement (and, if applicable, the Indemnification
Agreement), Merisant shall pay such amounts to the legal representative of
Nocchiero’s estate at such times as they would have been paid to Nocchiero had
he survived.

17.           Entire Agreement and Survival.  This Agreement embodies the entire agreement
and understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the matters described
herein and supersedes any and all prior and/or contemporaneous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, between said parties regarding such matters,
including without limitation the Employment Agreement and any offer letter(s)
provided to Nocchiero, provided however that the following provisions of the
following agreements shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with
their respective terms:  (a) Paragraphs 4
through 16 and Paragraph 18 of the Employment Agreement, the unnumbered
paragraph immediately following Paragraph 19 of the Employment Agreement, and
Exhibits A and C of the Employment Agreement; (b) the Indemnification
Agreement; and (c) the Merisant Worldwide, Inc. 2005 Share Appreciation Award
Letter dated December 5, 2005 to the extent that the second sentence of Section
3 thereof shall be applicable.

18.           Governing Law; Amendment; Waiver;
Headings.  This Agreement shall be
construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.  The parties agree that except as provided in
Section 19 below  this Agreement may be modified
only in writing signed by all parties, and that any party’s failure to enforce
this Agreement in the event of one or more events which violate this Agreement
shall not constitute a waiver of any right to enforce this Agreement against
any subsequent violations.  The headings
used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be used in
interpreting or construing this Agreement.

 8
 

19.           Construction.  If any of the provisions, terms, clauses, or waivers or
releases of claims or rights contained in this Agreement (including any surviving
provisions of the Employment Agreement) are declared by a court to be illegal,
unenforceable, or ineffective, it is the purpose and intent of the parties that
any such provisions be deemed modified or limited so that, as modified or
limited, such provisions may be enforced to the fullest extent possible.  In the event that such court determines that
such provisions cannot be rendered enforceable through any such modification or
limitation or otherwise declines to so modify or limit such provisions, such holding
shall not invalidate the whole agreement. 
Instead, the Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable part, and the rights and obligations of the
parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly; the remaining provisions,
terms, clauses or waivers or releases of claims and rights shall be deemed
severable, such that all other provisions, terms, clauses, and waivers and
releases of claims and rights contained in this Agreement shall remain valid
and binding upon all parties to the Agreement.

20.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two
counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

THE PARTIES STATE THAT THEY HAVE READ
AND UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING AND THAT THEY INTEND TO BE BOUND THERETO.
