ITEM 1.01ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On November 3, 2014, through our subsidiary, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc.(the “Supplier”) (“Level 5”), we entered into an Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement – Exclusive Territory”) with J.D.’s Food Group, Ltd.(“Distributor”), a company incorporated in the United Kingdom (“JD’s Food”) to exclusively distribute our VitaminFIZZ® brand of enhanced sparkling water.
The summary of the Agreement is as follows (the entire Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission):
TERM
Subject to earlier termination in accordance with Paragraph 9 of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall be for a three (3) year period commencing as of the Effective Date. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, upon the expiration of the initial term, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for successive one (1) year periods.
RESALE RIGHTS
|
|
A.
|
Supplier hereby appoints Distributor as its exclusive distributor for the Distribution of the Products via the Channel in the Territory, and Distributor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to resell the Products via the Channel in the Territory on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The parties acknowledge that Schedule A may be amended from time to time upon the mutual written consent of the parties to add or modify the Products to be Distributed hereunder. Distributor shall not solicit orders for the Products from outside the Territory. If Distributor receives orders from outside the Territory, Distributor shall promptly refer all such orders directly to Supplier without processing such orders or accepting any payment for such orders. Any (a) marketing or sales of Products by Distributor outside the Territory or (b) sales of Products to entities that Distributor knows or has reason to believe are reselling Products outside the Territory, shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.
|
|
|
B.
|
If Supplier introduces any new product which is similar to the Products (including, without limitation, any reformulations of the Products) during the term of this Agreement, then Supplier shall offer Distributor the right to Distribute such product via the Channel within the Territory on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than pricing for such new product, which shall be agreed upon in good faith by the parties). If Distributor accepts distribution of such new product within thirty (30) days of Distributor's receipt of written notice from Supplier, Distributor shall commence the sale and distribution of such new product within fifteen (15) days following such acceptance, and such new product shall be included within the definition of the “Products” and Schedule A shall be amended accordingly. If Distributor does not accept distribution of such new product, Supplier may Distribute such new product via another Person; provided, however, that Supplier may not offer any Person the right to Distribute such product within the Territory on terms more favorable to such Person than those offered to Distributor without first re-offering to Distributor the right to Distribute such product in accordance with this Paragraph 3B.

PRICE
Sales of the Products by Supplier to Distributor shall be at such prices as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, which may be changed by Supplier on an annual basis during the term of this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Distributor. In addition, in the event of an increase in Supplier's cost of manufacturing a Product, Supplier shall have the right to pass such costs through to Distributor by increasing the Purchase Price for any Product upon not less than thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Distributor and delivering to Distributor an updated Schedule A to reflect such price adjustment; provided that such cost-driven increases to the Purchase Price for any Product may not exceed three percent (3%) in any calendar year unless Supplier provides Distributor with reasonable evidence of such increased costs. Supplier may also make other periodic non-cost driven price increases with the prior written consent of Distributor. Supplier may elect to offer decreased Purchase Prices or other discounted or promotional terms for Distributor's purchase of any Product from time to time at its sole discretion.
