Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all BRFH Shares, BRFH Options and Performance Options shall vest immediately upon a Change of Control of BRFH as defined in the Plan, except that for purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control shall be defined by replacing the term “Company” in each place in which it occurs in Sections 3(e)(i) and (ii) of the Plan with the phrase “Company or Smoothie, Inc.” or the resignation or termination of Riccardo Delle Coste as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of BRFH.

4. TERMINATION.

(a) Discharge for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time if it believes in good faith that it has Cause to terminate his employment. As used herein, “Cause” means (i) Executive’s conviction in any court of competent jurisdiction of an act of fraud or dishonesty, the purpose or effect of which materially and adversely affects the Group, (ii) Executive’s failure or refusal to attempt in good faith to perform his job duties under this Agreement or to follow the reasonable directions of the Board (other than by reason of physical or mental illness, injury, or condition); provided however, in each instance Executive must be provided notice from the Board of his failure to do so and an opportunity to cure such breach within 10 business days or such longer time as prescribed in the written notice or reasonably required to cure any such breach, and/or (iii) Executive becoming barred or prohibited by any governmental or regulatory agency from holding his position with the Company or fulfilling his duties hereunder or subjecting the Company to “bad actor disqualification” under Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act of 1933.

(b) Termination for Disability. Except as prohibited by applicable law and, if required by applicable law, subject to the Company providing Executive with reasonable accommodations, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment on account of Disability. “Disability” means a physical or mental illness, injury, or condition that prevents Executive from performing substantially all of his duties under this Agreement for at least 30 consecutive calendar days or for at least 45 calendar days, whether or not consecutive, in any 365 calendar day period. If Company terminates Executive due to a Disability, Company shall pay Executive any unpaid accrued Base Salary, Performance Bonuses, expense reimbursements and vacation days; provided however, in exchange for Executive’s execution of a release in accordance with Section 4(h), Executive’s Base Salary shall be continued for 3 months after the date of termination and all of Executive’s vested BRFH Options and vested Performance Options shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days from the date of termination.

(c) Discharge Other Than for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for any reason, and without advance notice.

(d) Resignation Other Than for Good Reason. Executive promises not to resign his employment unless he has Good Reason to do so, and, in any event, not without giving the Company at least 60 days’ advance written notice. If Executive resigns “other than for Good Reason”, the Company may accept his resignation effective on the date set forth in his notice. Upon Executive’s resignation other than for Good Reason, the Company shall pay Executive any accrued unpaid Base Salary, Performance Bonuses, expense reimbursements and vacation days and Executive’s BRFH Options and Performance Options shall terminate; provided however, in exchange for 60 days’ advance written notice of Executive’s resignation and Executive’s execution of a release in accordance with Section 4(h), Executive shall be entitled to the following special benefits: Executive shall have a period of 90 days from the date of termination to exercise any vested BRFH Options and vested Performance Options.

(e) Resignation for Good Reason. If Executive resigns for Good Reason, his employment will end on his last date of work, the Company shall pay to Executive any accrued unpaid Base Salary, Performance Bonuses, expense reimbursements and vacation days and Executive’s vested and unvested BRFH Options and Performance Options shall terminate; provided however, in exchange for Executive’s execution of a release in accordance with Section 4(h), Executive shall be entitled to the following special benefits: (A) all of Executive’s outstanding BRFH Options shall immediately vest and become exercisable for a period of 90 days, (B) Executive shall have a period of 90 days from the date of termination to exercise any vested Performance Options and (C) all of the BRFH Shares shall vest and be issued to Executive. “Good Reason” means the resignation or termination of Riccardo Delle Coste as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of BRFH.

(f) Death. If Executive dies, the Company shall pay to Executive any accrued unpaid Base Salary, Performance Bonuses, expense reimbursements and vacation days accrued prior to termination of employment, and, in exchange for execution of a release by Executive’s estate in accordance with Section 4(h), Executive’s vested BRFH Options and vested Performance Options shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days from the date of termination by Executive’s estate.

(g) Disputes Under This Section. All disputes relating to this Agreement, including disputes relating to this Section 4, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under Section 7.

(h) Execution of Release. Executive will only receive special benefits set forth in this Section 4 that are conditioned upon his execution of a general release if Executive signs the form submitted by the Company (substantially in the Form attached hereto as Annex A) within 21 days after his employment ends (or such other time frame set forth in the release) and he does not subsequently properly revoke the release.

(i) Termination of Options. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no BRFH Option or Performance Option is exercisable after expiration of its 8-year term.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY. During the term of Executive’s employment, in exchange for his promises to use such information solely for the Company’s benefit, the Company will provide Executive with Confidential Information concerning, among other things, its business, operations, customers, vendors, owners, investors, and business partners. “Confidential Information” refers to information not generally known by others in the form in which it is used by the Company, and which gives the Company a competitive advantage over other companies which do not have access to this information, including secret, confidential, or proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, conveyed orally or reduced to a tangible form in any medium, including information concerning the operations, future plans, customers, business models, strategies, and business methods of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as information about the Company’s customers, clients and business partners and their respective operations and confidential information. “Confidential Information” does not include: (a) information that: (i) Executive knew prior to his employment with the Company or any predecessor company; (ii) subsequently came into Executive’s possession other than through his work for the Company or any predecessor company and not as a result of a breach of any duty owed to the Company; or (iii) is generally known within the relevant industry; or (b) any prior knowledge, information or know-how which Executive legally obtained from a source other than the Company.

(a) Promise Not to Disclose. Executive promises never to use or disclose any Confidential Information before it has become generally known within the relevant industry through no fault of Executive. Notwithstanding this paragraph, Executive may disclose Confidential Information: (i) during his employment for the benefit of the Company; (ii) as required to do so by court order, subpoena, or otherwise as required by law, provided that upon receiving such order, subpoena, or request and prior to disclosure, to the extent permitted by law Executive shall provide written notice to the Company of such order, subpoena, or request and of the content of any testimony or information to be disclosed and shall cooperate fully with the Company to lawfully resist disclosure of the information; and (iii) to an attorney for the purpose of securing professional advice.

(b) Promise Not to Solicit. Executive agrees that, during his employment with the Company and for 12 months after his termination for any reason (together, the “Restricted Period”): (1) as to any client or business partner of the Company with whom Executive had dealings or about whom Executive acquired confidential information during his employment, Executive will not solicit, attempt to solicit, assist others to solicit, or accept any unsolicited request from the client or business partner to do business with any person or entity other than the Company or its affiliates; and (2) Executive will not solicit, attempt to solicit, assist others to solicit, hire, or assist others to hire for employment any person who is, or within the preceding 12 months was, an officer, manager, employee, or consultant of the Company. Executive agrees that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph do not and will not prohibit him from engaging in his livelihood and do not foreclose him working with clients or business partners not identified in this paragraph.

(c) Promise Not to Engage in Certain Employment. Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, accept any employment; provide any services, advice or information; or assist or engage in any activity (whether as an employee, consultant, or in any other capacity, whether paid or unpaid) with any business or other entity in the business, directly or indirectly, for profit or not, of developing, with a majority of its revenue derived from distributing or marketing compounds or technologies for the manufacture and distribution of smoothies, or smoothie-like beverages in the United States or elsewhere.

(d) Return of Information. When Executive’s employment with the Company ends, he will promptly deliver to the Company, or, at its written instruction, destroy, all documents, data, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, reports, electronic mail, recordings, and copies of the same, of or pertaining to it or any other Group member in his possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may retain his personal effects, files, benefit information, or other property to the extent such materials do not contain any of the Company’s Confidential Information. In addition, during his employment with the Company or the Group and subsequently, Executive agrees to meet with Company personnel and, based on knowledge or insights he gained during his employment with the Company and the Group, answer any question they may have related to the Company or the Group as reasonably requested.

(e) Intellectual Property. Intellectual property (including such things as all ideas, concepts, inventions, plans, developments, software, data, configurations, materials (whether written or machine-readable), designs, drawings, illustrations, and photographs, that may be protectable, in whole or in part, under any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property law), developed, created, conceived, made, or reduced to practice during Executive’s employment with the Company (except intellectual property that has no relation to the Group or any Group customer that Executive developed, etc., purely on his own time and at his own expense), shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and Executive does now assign all rights, title, and interest in any such intellectual property to the Company.

(f) Enforcement of This Section. This Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or Executive’s employment for any reason. Executive acknowledges that: (a) this section’s terms are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate interests; (b) this section’s restrictions will not prevent him from earning or seeking a livelihood; (c) this section’s restrictions shall apply wherever permitted by law; and (d) the violation of any of this section’s terms would irreparably harm the Company. Accordingly, Executive agrees that, if he violates any of the provisions of this section, the Company or any Group member shall be entitled to, in addition to other remedies available to it, an injunction to be issued by any court of competent jurisdiction restraining Executive from committing or continuing any such violation, without the need to prove the inadequacy of money damages or post any bond or for any other undertaking.

6. CONFLICT OF INTEREST. In keeping with Executive’s fiduciary duties to the Company, Executive agrees that while employed by the Company he shall not, acting alone or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly, become involved in a conflict of interest or, upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue. Moreover, Executive agrees that he shall immediately disclose to the Company any facts that might involve any reasonable possibility of a conflict of interest. It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest, connection with or benefit from any outside activities, where such interest might in any way adversely affect the Company, involves a possible conflict of interest. Circumstances in which a conflict of interest on the part of Executive might arise, and which must be reported immediately by Executive to the Company, include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a) ownership of a material interest in any supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer, or other entity with which the Company does business;

(b) acting in any capacity, including director, officer, partner, consultant, employee, distributor, agent, or the like for a supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer, or other entity with which the Company does business;

(c) accepting, directly or indirectly, payment, service, or loans from a supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer, or other entity with which the Company does business, including, but not limited to, gifts, trips, entertainment, or other favors of more than a nominal value;

(d) misuse of the Company’s information or facilities to which Executive has access in a manner which will be detrimental to the Company’s interest, such as utilization for Executive’s own benefit of know-how, inventions, or information developed through the Company’s business activities;

(e) disclosure or other misuse of Confidential Information of any kind obtained through Executive’s connection with the Company;

(f) appropriation by Executive or the diversion to others, directly or indirectly, of any business opportunity in which it is known or could reasonably be anticipated that the Company would be interested; and

(g) ownership, directly or indirectly, of a material interest in an enterprise in competition with the Company, or acting as an owner, director, principal, officer, partner, consultant, employee, agent, servant, or otherwise of any enterprise which is in competition with the Company.

7. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. Except as expressly prohibited by law and except for the Company’s right to seek injunctive relief as set forth in Section 5(f), all disputes between the Company and Executive (“Arbitratable Disputes”), including disputes under Section 3 and Section 4, are to be resolved by final and binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 7. This section shall remain in effect after the termination of this Agreement or Executive’s employment.

(a) Scope of Agreement. This arbitration agreement applies to, among other things, disputes concerning Executive’s employment with or termination from the Company; the validity, interpretation, enforceability or effect of this Agreement or alleged violations of it; claims of discrimination under federal or state law; or other statutory or common law claims.

(b) The Arbitration. The arbitration shall take place under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in its office nearest to the location where Executive last worked for the Company and conducted in accordance with the AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect before an experienced employment law arbitrator licensed to practice law in that jurisdiction who has been selected in accordance with such rules. The arbitrator may not modify or change this Agreement in any way except as expressly set forth herein. The arbitration shall be governed by the substantive law of Colorado (excluding where it mandates the use of another jurisdiction’s laws).

(c) Fees and Expenses. Regardless of which party initiates the arbitration, the Company shall pay that portion of the initial filing fee that exceeds the filing fee for commencing an action in a state or federal court in Colorado, after which each party shall pay the fees of their attorneys, the expenses of its witnesses, and any other costs and expenses that the party incurs in connection with the arbitration. All other costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator, the cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, administrative fees and other fees and costs shall be paid one-half by the Company and one-half by the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, award reasonable attorney’s fees (in addition to any other damages, expenses or relief awarded) to the prevailing party.

(d) Exclusive Remedy. The arbitration in this manner shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitratable Dispute.

(e) Judicial Enforcement. Nothing in this Section 7 shall preclude any party to this agreement from seeking judicial enforcement of an arbitrator’s award. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.

8. CODE SECTION 280G.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, if any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company or its affiliates to Executive or for Executive’s benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute parachute payments (“Parachute Payments”) within the meaning of Code Section 280G and would, but for this Section 8 be subject to the excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 (or any successor provision thereto) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then prior to making the Covered Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the Net Benefit (as defined below) to Executive of the Covered Payments after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit to Executive if the Covered Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount under (ii) above will the Covered Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax (that amount, the “Reduced Amount”). “Net Benefit” shall mean the present value of the Covered Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment and excise taxes.

(b) To the extent the Covered Payments must be reduced pursuant to Section 8(a) above, the Covered Payments shall be reduced in a manner that maximizes Executive’s economic position. In applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero.

(c) Any determination required under this Section 8 shall be made in writing in good faith by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company that is reasonably acceptable to Executive (the “Accountants”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and Executive as requested by the Company or Executive. The Company and Executive shall provide the Accountants with such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 8. For purposes of making the calculations and determinations required by this Section 8, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999. The Accountants’ determinations shall be final and binding on the Company and Executive. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by the Accountants in connection with the calculations required by this Section 8.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Plan, equity awards under Section 3(c) and any other payments payable to Executive under this or any other Agreement upon or related to a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan, and as modified herein) that are considered to be “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) will not be subject to the 280G “cut-back” provisions set forth in Section 14(d) of the Plan shall not apply to Executive.

9. AMENDMENT. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged except by a written document signed by a duly authorized Company officer and Executive. A waiver of any conditions or provisions of this Agreement in a given instance shall not be deemed a waiver of such conditions or provisions at any other time in the future.

For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications, including but not limited to notices, consents, request or approvals, required, permitted, or which may be given hereunder shall be in writing and either delivered personally to an officer of the addressee or mailed to those addresses provided on the signature page below, by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, by facsimile transmission or electronic mail (with receipt confirmed) and shall be deemed given (i) when so delivered personally; (ii) if mailed, five (5) days after the time of mailing; or (iii) if faxed or sent by electronic mail, twenty four (24) hours after the confirmed transmission of the fax or electronic mail.

11. CHOICE OF LAW. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Colorado (excluding any that mandate the use of another jurisdiction’s laws).

12. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Executive and his estate, but Executive may not assign or pledge this Agreement or any rights arising under it, except to the extent permitted under the terms of the benefit plans in which he participates. Without Executive’s consent, the Company may assign this Agreement to any affiliate or to a successor to substantially all the business and assets of the Company.

13. TAXES. The Company shall withhold taxes from payments it makes pursuant to this Agreement as it reasonably determines to be required by applicable law.

14. VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

15. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.

16. HEADINGS. The Section headings have been inserted for purposes of convenience and shall not be used for interpretive purposes.

17. GENDER AND PLURALS. Wherever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural and conversely.
