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.

Each Party reserves the right upon a breach of this Agreement by the other Party to pursue all of its legal and equitable remedies.

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. | |
Regulatory Inspections | If at any time the FDA, State, OSHA, CFIA, Health Canada, or any governmental regulatory agency enters the Manufacturer's facility to inspect Customer Product, Customer's designated representatives MUST be notified immediately. See "Notice" in Section 4 of the Agreement. | |

||
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).
