Dear Team Aquaphor Member - Home Page
WELCOME LETTER Dear Team Odwalla Member, Congratulations and welcome to the 2011 Team Odwalla sponsored athlete team. You are now one of two hundred individuals concentrated in California, New York City, Boston, and Miami in what we hope to be a growing effort to spread the Odwalla story across the endurance community. You have aligned yourself with a brand that has a strong affinity toward the preservation of the environment and who shares your passion for athletics and community service. Based on your athletic accomplishments and sphere of influence, we are very proud that you will be representing Team Odwalla in 2011. As a Team Odwalla member, we look forward to hearing about your results and accomplishments and encourage you to share your successes with us. We love receiving photos of team members wearing their apparel while training, competing at races and out in the community, so please send LOTS of pictures and share your stories in your monthly communications with us. Now that the sponsorship has officially begun, take some time to review the contents of your Welcome Manual. This will be your go-to-resource for everything regarding the sponsorship. Inside you’ll find valuable information pertaining to brand/product information and details on how the sponsorship works. In addition, there is information about how to submit reports, pictures and testimonials. Please note that athletes are required to submit race results at the end of every month and at least one testimonial throughout the season. As an official sponsored athlete you will receive a monthly eNewsletter providing sponsor information, sponsorship updates and athlete profiles. We also will share information about Odwalla’s involvement in local events. The majority of our team communication will be done via e-mail, so please be sure that we have a working email address that you check frequently. Please save teamodwalla@activenetwork.com in your contacts so that these e-mail messages are not blocked. If your e-mail address changes, please notify us immediately.

As a unit, we’ll strive to increase awareness of Odwalla’s delicious products by sharing Odwalla’s story with the endurance community and our social networks. The success of the 2011 Team Odwalla program depends entirely on open communication between our sponsored athletes and the Team management. We are here to support you and to make your experience as a Team Odwalla sponsored athlete a rewarding, fun, and exciting opportunity. The six overall goals of the program are: Compete in 600 or more races worldwide (3 per athlete) Participate in 200 or more volunteer / charity / fundraising events (1 per athlete) Educate our athletic and social networks on the benefits of Odwalla products Encourage use and drive traffic to Odwalla’s website and Facebook page Increase sales at local retailers with coupon redemption and drive to retail Maintain an awesome team website with current photography and team information Individual Requirements: In order to reach the team goals, each athlete must meet their individual requirements.

After each race, you’ll need to submit a recap form, which houses valuable feedback. Of course, we want to know how well you did, how great you felt and how the team apparel helped your performance. But we also want to hear any feedback you received from the crowd regarding the Odwalla brand and its products. You’re the eyes, ears and face of this program. Let us know what people say about Odwalla’s products, packaging and environmental initiatives. Each week, we’ll compile the team’s comments and send it to Odwalla to implement into their marketing strategies. Your opinions and experiences will make a difference. You can access the reporting links through the team website (keep reading!). We encourage you to submit your recap within 48 hours of the event so the details are fresh in your mind, although it’s hard to forget cheers like “Go Odwalla Go!!” We also urge you to share your race calendar with teammates so they have the opportunity to join you at the start and/or finish line. Races are usually more fun when you have a running buddy somewhere along the course. Lastly, we recommend you use Internet Explorer as your browser and prepare your answers and photos ahead of time to avoid “timing out” when you submit your recap. Sample Recap Questions: 1. Race Details: (Name, Type, Location, Distance, # of Participants) 2. Your Performance: (Overall Finish, Odwalla Feedback, # of Giveaways) 3. Photos: (Of You In Action, In Your Apparel, At the Start Line, With Friends) 7 TEAM GOALS & INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS Product Sampling: As a member of Team Odwalla, you have the chance to distribute product samples and coupons to your athletic and social networks in your local community. These bars are meant for personal use as well as distribution at local races, training sessions, gym and at community events. You’ll be receiving (3) product shipments throughout the season. Please read the following guidelines below to help you choose the best way to distribute your allocated samples. What we’re looking for: - Sampling opportunities that provide one (1) on one (1) interaction between yourself and other athletes. - Creative ways that you are able to interact with athletes and support Odwalla. - Distribute product samples to athletes and peers in your community. - Photos showing the distribution of samples Product Sampling Report Requirement: After you have completed your product sampling activity, we recommend you submit a Product Sampling Report back to team management. This is a great way to share the authentic feedback you received. Remember, you are the eyes, ears and face of the program. The feedback you provide is invaluable. Each week, we’ll compile the team’s comments and send it to Odwalla to implement into their marketing strategies. Let people know their opinions and experiences will be heard. We recommend you use Internet Explorer as your browser and prepare your answers and photos ahead of time to avoid “timing out” when you submit your recap. Sample Recap Questions: 1. Event Details: (Date, Location, # of Samples, # of Participants and Summary) 2. Odwalla Feedback (Comments, Questions, Concerns and Reactions) 3. Photos: (Of You, Of the Participants, Of the Location, Of the Samples) Also be sure to let us know if your event received any media attention (see media incentives and prizing section.) 8 TEAM GOALS & INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS Volunteer & Charity Fundraising: Each Team Odwalla member must complete at least one volunteer and/or charity fundraising activity before December 15th, 2011 by selecting one of the three methods listed below: 1. Volunteer for a Charitable Organization’s Activity 2. Compete in a Race for a Charitable Organization 3. Volunteer at a Race for a Charitable Organization You are welcome to select and support any organization you please. We just want to see you follow Odwalla’s lead and give back to the community. We want to see lots of photos from your event, which will be even better if you can wear your branded Odwalla gear. If not, no worries. You will need to submit a recap for your event so pay close attention to the event name, date, location and beneficiaries. If you experience difficulty finding suitable activities in your area or have questions regarding this portion of the program please email us at TeamOdwalla@ActiveNetwork.com Social Media: In an effort to raise general awareness of Odwalla products, we are asking Team Odwalla athletes to help drive people toward Odwalla’s home page, Facebook page and Twitter account. You’re already out there racing, sampling and spreading the word in person. So why not share your story online? Post some photos on the team Facebook page and encourage your teammates to join you at a local race. Invite your friends and family to become fans online to follow your team’s activities. Post an Odwalla link on your personal page so your friends and family can check out the company that’s become so integral to your racing life. We will offer generous incentives throughout the season to encourage and track your social media efforts. Think fame and fortune by way of featured athlete profiles and monetary rewards. 9 PHOTOGRAPHY Photography Tips: Team Odwalla photos are paramount to the success of the program. Photos showcase your activities, highlight your achievements and provide exciting new website content. Let’s start developing good habits right away. 1. Share your experience: Photos say more than words. If you win an award pose on the podium or with your prize. If you meet a teammate or group of people take a picture with them by your side. Show us the weather, scenery, crowds, anything to help us get in the moment with you. 2. Sport your apparel: We want to see you rocking your gear. It’s the best way for people learn you’re on the team. Wear it with pride on and off the race course. 3. Showcase the product: Smiles are great. But nothing goes better with a group photo than a clear shot of the product. We want to see people enjoying the samples or coupons. It’s even better if you can be in the shot decked out in your branded apparel. 4. Send us a link: Cameras break, malfunction and get left behind. Luckily, most races are crawling with paparazzi. If you can’t capture any race images, please include in your recap the link to the race or photographer website. Race photos are expensive, but if we like one enough we’ll buy it and send you a copy. 10 WELCOME KIT Welcome Kit Overview: “When you look good, you feel good.

Today, 30 years later, Odwalla is still doing just that – adding nutritional bars to its repertoire – and striving to nourish the rest of the world as much as it nourishes individuals. Tapping music as the inspiration, the company’s playful name was born from a favorite musical piece performed by the Art Ensemble of Chicago. In that special song-poem, Odwalla was a leader who guided “the people of the sun” out of the “gray haze” – just as the company’s delicious products help humans break free from the dull mass of over-processed foods so prevalent today. Freshology™ is a very special term coined by Odwalla. It describes the company’s understanding that great fruit makes great juice. That’s why they use the finest, freshest, juiciest fruit they can find. Throughout the seasons, they “follow the fruit.” As different varieties ripen across the country, they choose only high-quality fruit from high-quality growers to ensure that every Odwalla is a tasty treat that nourishes your body, mind and spirit. More information on all of Odwalla’s products can be found at www.Odwalla.com. 21 ABOUT ODWALLA Primary Usage Occasions: Nutrition, Meal Replacement, Snack Original Superfood Superfood Superfood Berries GoMega Pink Poetry Primary Usage Occasions: Nutrition, Meal Replacement, Workout Recovery Super Protein Super Protein Chocolate Vanilla Super Protein Original Vanilla Al’ Mondo Protein Monster Protein Monster Chocolate Superfood Red Rhapsody Super Protein Pumpkin Primary Usage Occasions: Nutrition, With Food, Refreshment Orange Juice Carrot Juice Tangerine Wellness PomaGrand PomaGrand Limeade Lemonade Summertime Lime Light Lemonade Light Limeade Serious Energy Primary Usage Occasions: Nutrition, Meal Replacement, Snack Mango Tango Strawberry C Monster Blueberry B Monster Citrus C Monster Mo’ Beta Strawberry Banana Wholly Grain ABOUT ODWALLA 22 ABOUT ODWALLA Primary Usage Occasions: Nutrition or Snack Chocolate Chip Peanut Choco-walla Banana Nut Mocha-walla Berries GoMega Strawberry Pomegranate Superfood Super Protein Primary Usage Occasions: Nutrition or Snack Sweet & Salty Peanut Sweet & Salty Almond Chocolate Chip Trail Mix Primary Usage Occasions: Nutrition or Snack Chocolate Chip Peanut Berries GoMega Banana Nut 23 Choco-walla Sweet & Salty Almond ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES Odwalla Environmental Initiatives: For almost 30 years, Odwalla has been a leader in environmental sustainability. For us, it’s not about the trends or the times. It’s just who we are. Odwalla’s mission is to nourish people everywhere and adhere to its guiding principle of respect for consumers who rely on them for great-tasting, nourishing beverages and bars, and respect for the earth on which we all rely for holistic nourishment. Odwalla simply wouldn’t be Odwalla without taking care of Mother Earth and giving back to the communities that have given so much. Following are just a few of the ways Odwalla is doing just that. Soil To Soul: Odwalla has helped plant 360,000 trees in U.S. State Parks between 2008 and 2010. Odwalla also has made multi-year donations to the Organic Farming Research Foundation and Conservation International, and Odwalla’s plant and 45 distribution centers make numerous donations to local organizations in communities all across the USA. People To Planet: For more than 10 years, Odwalla has permitted a local farmer to use 20 acres of Odwalla land free of charge in order to grow and maintain a peach orchard. Waste Not: Of the 143 million pounds of citrus that comes into the Odwalla plant in Dinuba, California 0%, goes into a landfill. The only items that leave the plant for the landfill is trash that cannot be recycled – typically less than 1%. Plastic and cardboard are baled and sent to be recycled. Odwalla bottles are HDPE and recyclable (cap too!). Approximately 10% of an Odwalla bottle is composed of virgin re-grind material to reduce waste. Green Energy: Odwalla purchases Green Energy units from the utility company. Green Energy – derived from sources like wind, solar and geothermal systems, is more expensive than that derived from fossil fuels. Although this Green Energy might cost more, Odwalla thinks it’s worth it in order to encourage further development of green energy sources. Plus, the boiler used in Odwalla’s Dinuba plant is extremely efficient and actually earns NOX credits that could be sold. However, Odwalla doesn’t sell these credits because they want to foster a community where everyone is encouraged to change how their energy is generated. Conservation: Odwalla uses a $1.8 million anaerobic digestion system on waste water resulting from the juicing process. The end result is that over 99% of the bio burden (waste biological material) is reduced – eliminating waste by-products that city systems do not have to treat and that do not negatively impact the environment. 24 PLANT A TREE Plant a Tree Program Information: The Odwalla Plant a Tree program is a partnership with state parks across the country to support Mother Earth and help with reforestation efforts. The Odwalla Plant a Tree program allows the company to support an initiative that helps maintain a healthy environment for generations to come. It’s part of Odwalla’s continuing commitment to nourish the body, mind and spirit. Since the program’s inception in 2008, Odwalla has donated 360,000 trees to state park systems throughout the United States. Through this unique program, people are encouraged to visit www.
