In 2014, Distributor’s shares shall be awarded pro rata based on the percentage of the 2014 Case Sales Milestone it achieves in calendar 2014, but not to exceed ­­­­­1,000,000 shares. For example, if Distributor sells ­­­­­­­­150,000 cases during calendar year 2014, it shall be awarded 1,000,000 shares on December 31, 2014. Supplier agrees to obtain all required permissions, generate all necessary documentation, and execute all documents necessary or reasonably required or requested by Distributor to perfect Distributor’s ownership of the Common Shares. The parties may agree on reasonable restrictions on Distributor’s ability to transfer shares beyond those imposed under applicable securities laws, provided that the restrictions are not more restrictive than any other vendors’ or executive’s shares. Upon issuance, the shares shall be restricted shares under the Securities Act of 1933, and the share certificates shall bear a standard private placement legend.

b. Distributor. Distributor represents and warrants that it is duly licensed to distribute non-alcoholic beverages within the Territory or that it will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such licenses according to its business planning and growth strategies in those jurisdictions in which it is not licensed. Distributor represents and warrants it will use commercially reasonable efforts to promote and distribute the Products throughout the Territory in field and trade channels and to pursue increased sales of the Products with respect to both volume and outlets.

a. For Cause: Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause, provided written notice specifying in detail the reason for termination is provided and the alleged cause is not cured within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Notice of Termination for Cause (except that only thirty (30) days notice is required for non-payment). Termination for cause shall be effective thirty (30) days after the cure period ends (except ten (10) days for non-payment). Notice must be provided within one (1) month of having knowledge of the material breach or the right to terminate based on that issue is waived.
