401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN To become a Participant in the Aquo Energy Drinks, Ltd. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, you must meet the applicable eligibility requirements. Once you become a Participant, Aquo will maintain an individual account for you. Your account will be valued to reflect contributions, gains, losses, etc. on each business day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. The percentage of your account to which you will be entitled when your employment with Aquo ends depends on the Plan's vesting schedule. These features are explained further in the following pages. SECTION 1: ELIGIBILITY Eligible Classes of Employees You will generally be allowed to enter the Plan, make Elective Deferrals, and receive a Matching Contribution after satisfying the age and service requirements described in the sections below. You will not be eligible to make Elective Deferrals and receive a Matching Contribution if you:

• are covered by a collective bargaining agreement (e.g., union agreement) unless the agreement requires you to be eligible,

• are a nonresident alien and receive no earned income from Aquo within the U.S., • are an employee not on U.S. payroll (including Employees not on the main Aquo U.S.

payroll system for up to 3 months following a corporate transaction, unless the Committee determines otherwise),

• are a leased employee, or • are incorrectly determined to be an independent contractor.

Age and Service Requirements You are eligible to enter the Plan and begin making Elective Deferrals and receive Matching Contributions when you attain the age of 18. You need not perform a minimum amount of service to be eligible to participate. SECTION 2: ENROLLMENT Enrollment in the Plan If you meet the Plan eligibility requirements, you may enroll in the Plan at any time after your first day of employment with Aquo. To enroll and begin making Elective Deferrals, you should complete the form at the end of this document and submit to Aquo Financial Participant Services. You will need the Aquo 401(k) Plan number 555-55. Your participation in the Plan continues until all amounts credited to your Individual Account are paid out to you or your Beneficiary.

Page 4: Aquo HR Portfolio

Automatic Enrollment Program All new hires, rehires, non-U.S. transfers to U.S. payroll, acquired employees, and interns, who do not affirmatively elect to participate in the Plan or not participate in the Plan, will be automatically enrolled in the Plan within approximately 60 days from the applicable hire or eligibility date. If you are automatically enrolled in the Plan, 6% of your Eligible Compensation will be automatically withheld and contributed to the Plan as a Pre-Tax Elective Deferral. Your failure to affirmatively elect a different deferral percentage or opt out of the Plan entirely will represent your acceptance of this automatic contribution provision. If you later wish to contribute at a different deferral percentage or stop your contributions, you may change your deferral percentage. SECTION THREE: PLAN FUNDING AND ADMINISTRATION Plan Contribution Sources, Allocations and Limitations Your Individual Account All contributions made to the Plan on your behalf will be placed in a trust fund established to hold dollars for the benefit of all Participants. Aquo will establish and maintain an Individual Account for you. Your Individual Account will be used to track your share in the total trust fund. Elective Deferrals You may make before-tax and/or Roth after-tax contributions to the Plan through payroll deduction. Such contributions are called Elective Deferrals. For example, assume your Eligible Compensation is $50,000. You wish to make a pre-tax contribution to the Plan authorizing a deferral amount of 5% of your Eligible Compensation. As a result, Aquo will pay you $47,500 as gross taxable income and will deposit your 5% contribution (i.e., $2,500) into the plan for you. For an example of a Roth after-tax deferral, assume again that your Eligible Compensation is $50,000. You wish to make an after-tax Roth deferral to the Plan of 5% of your Eligible Contribution. As a result, Aquo will pay you $47,500 in net taxable income and deposit $2,500 into the Plan as a Roth after-tax deferral. Your gross taxable income continues to be $50,000. The Roth deferral, plus earnings, may be eligible for a tax-free withdrawal if certain requirements are met (see Section Four).

Page 5: Aquo HR Portfolio

Managing Your Individual Account Information About Investment Options When you are eligible to participate in the Plan, you will be provided with comprehensive information about the investment options available in the Plan, including an explanation of investment objectives and policies, risk and return characteristics, past and current investment performance (net of expenses), operating expenses, and the type and diversification of assets comprising the portfolio of each fund. As a Participant, you will receive ongoing updates of this information in the form of prospectuses and shareholder reports for each of the investment options that you have selected for the investment of your Plan contributions. SECTION FOUR: BENEFITS Benefit Eligibility Certain events must occur before you may withdraw money from the Plan. Benefits may be withdrawn upon: • termination of employment, • attaining Early Retirement Age (age 55 with 10 years of service), • attaining Normal Retirement Age (age 65), • attaining in-service distribution eligibility (age 59 1/2), • attaining required minimum distribution eligibility (age 70 1/2), • incurring a financial hardship, or • termination of the Plan. SECTION FIVE: CLAIMS PROCEDURE What to Do to Receive Benefits You or your beneficiary must file a written request with Aquo to start receiving benefits when you become eligible. If you do not receive a benefit to which you believe you are entitled, you should file a claim with Aquo using the process described below. How to File a Claim You may claim a benefit to which you think you are entitled by filing a written request to: Aquo 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Committee c/o Aquo Energy Drinks, Ltd. 345 Park Avenue San Jose, CA 95110-2704 The claim must set forth the reasons you believe you are eligible to receive benefits and authorize Aquo to conduct such examinations and take such steps as may be necessary to evaluate the claim.
