          Equipment concerned.

     2.2  Forecasts.  Prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter, Purchaser

          or any shortage in quantity of any  shipment of Product.  In the event
          such  rejection or shortage is due to 7UP/RC fault,  error or neglect,
          7UP/RC shall  replace the rejected  Product or make up the shortage in
          the next production run following receipt of such notice at no cost to
          Purchaser  and  shall  make   arrangements   with  Purchaser  for  the

          agree in writing to a  different  price.  Such  prices  shall be fixed
          during the term of this Agreement  except as provided by Paragraph 2.7
          below. 7UP/RC shall invoice Purchaser for each shipment of Product and
          Purchaser  shall  receive a 2% discount to the extent such  invoice is
          paid within ten (10) days from the  invoice  date with all amounts due
          within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

     2.7  Pass  Through  Costs.  At any time during the term of this  Agreement,
          7UP/RC may pass through and  otherwise  charge  Purchaser for any cost
          increases  for raw  materials,  labor or as a  result  of  changes  in
          specifications.  Further,  if any  law or  regulation  is  enacted  or
          imposed  anywhere,  the effect of which is to impose  upon or to cause
          7UP/RC to incur any cost or  expense  (which did not exist on the date
          of this Agreement) with respect to container  deposits,  used or empty
          container  collection,  container  recycling or disposal,  beverage or
          package  labeling  requirements,  any tax or duty in the  nature of an
          excise  tax or  otherwise,  upon or with  respect  to  Product  or the
          performance of 7UP/RC  services,  7UP/RC shall be entitled to increase
          the price of Product by an amount sufficient and in such manner and to
          such extent that none of the burden of such costs or expenses is borne
          by 7UP/RC.  If requested by Purchaser,  7UP/RC shall provide Purchaser
          with suitable evidence establishing that a cost increase did occur.

     2.8  Equipment. Purchaser shall purchase the equipment specified in Exhibit
          B (the "Equipment') at its sole cost and expense. All payments for the
          Equipment  shall  be  made  by  Purchaser  directly  to the  Equipment
          supplier.  Exhibit  B is  only an  estimate  of the  Equipment  costs.
          Purchaser  shall be responsible  for the actual cost of the Equipment.
          Purchaser  shall also be  responsible  for all  property  taxes on the
          equipment.  7UP/RC agrees to supervise and direct the  procurement and
          installation   of  the   Equipment.   7UP/RC  shall  perform   routine
          maintenance on the Equipment and shall be financially  responsible for
          minor  repairs.  7UP/RC  agrees  not  to use  the  Equipment  for  the
          production,  at its  Buena  Park,  California  facility,  of any other
          energy drink reasonably  similar to Product without  Purchaser's prior
          written approval. At the end of the term of this Agreement, 7UP/RC may
          use the Equipment to produce  Products as well as other energy drinks.
          Should this Agreement terminate early, 7UP/RC shall have the right but
          not the obligation to purchase the Equipment at the fair value thereof
          at that time.

                                    BETWEEN
                            HANSEN BEVERAGE COMPANY
                                      AND
           SEVEN-UP/RC BOTTLING COMPANY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, INC.
                              DATED APRIL 15, 2003
                               ("The Agreement")

     This  Addendum  to the  Agreement  ("Addendum)  is made this  _9th__ day of
December,  2003  by  and  between  Hansen  Beverage  Company  ("Purchaser")  and
Seven-Up/RC  Bottling  Company of  Southern  California,  Inc.  ("7UP/RC")  with
reference to the following:

     WHEREAS:

     A.   On April 15, 2003 Purchaser and 7UP/RC entered into the Agreement.

     B.   Pursuant to the Agreement the Purchaser  purchased  certain  equipment
          specified in Exhibit B to the  Agreement  ("Exhibit B") which has been
          installed at 7UP/RC and 7UP/RC has commenced with the  manufacture and
          supply to Purchaser of Monster  Energy(tm)  drinks in 16 oz.  packages
          pursuant thereto.

     C.   Subsequent to the commencement of production,  7UP/RC determined that,
          to enable  them to meet the  Purchaser's  volume  requirements,  it is
          necessary that certain further equipment be purchased and installed on
          their line and have requested the Purchaser to purchase such equipment
          in  connection  with the  Agreement.  The  Purchaser  is  agreeable to
          purchasing  the further  equipment  concerned and to the  installation
          thereof on the 7UP/RC line  provided that and subject to the Agreement
          being  amended in  accordance  with the terms set out in this Addendum
          and 7UP/RC is agreeable thereto.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

     1.   The  "Products"  as  defined  in  the  Agreement   shall  include  any
          additional  energy  drinks in 16 oz.  packages  that the Purchaser may
          require  7UP/RC to  manufacture  and supply to it from time to time in
          terms of and during the term of the Agreement.

     2.   Clause 2.8 of the  Agreement  is amended by the addition at the end of
          that clause of the following:  "Purchaser shall, in addition, purchase
          and pay for a 30 h.p. 4329  Tri-Blender  Tri-Clover  machine  together
          with two 328 Waukesha  transfer  pumps with 10 h.p.  wash down motors,
          interconnecting  piping,  control panels,  etc. ("New  Equipment") and
          assume  financial  responsibility  for  the  installation  and  wiring
          thereof,  in accordance with the estimate from BEECO which is attached
          hereto as Exhibit C. Purchaser  shall pay for the New Equipment  after
          confirmation  from  7UP/RC  that the same has been  supplied  and duly
          installed at 7UP/RC and is fully operational.  Purchaser shall also be
          financially  responsible  for all taxes and freight in connection with
          the New  Equipment.  7UP/RC  assumes  responsibility  to supervise the
          installation of the New Equipment and to perform  routine  maintenance
          on the New Equipment and to be financially responsible for all repairs
          to the New Equipment during the term of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

     3.   7UP/RC  represents to the Purchaser that the purchase and installation
          of the New Equipment  will enable it to produce  larger  quantities of
          Products with less lead time and enable 7UP/RC to meet  unexpected and
          increased  volume  demands from  Purchaser for the Products  including
          during  Buena  Park's peak  season and will  eliminate  conflicts  and
          achieve more consistent emulsification and result in superior products
          being produced by 7UP/RC for Purchaser.

     4.   The term of the  Agreement  is  extended  until  March 31, 2009 unless
          sooner  terminated  pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3.2 of the
          Agreement.

     5.   7UP/RC agrees not to use the New Equipment for the production,  at its
          Buena Park,  California facility of any other energy drinks similar to
          the Products, without Purchaser's prior written consent.

     6.   Upon the termination of the Agreement for whatever  reason,  Purchaser
          shall be entitled to remove the New  Equipment or,  alternatively,  to
          negotiate  the sale of the New  Equipment to 7UP/RC at the fair market
          value thereof at that time.  Should 7UP/RC and the Purchaser  agree to
          the sale of the New Equipment to 7UP/RC upon the  termination  of this
          Agreement,  7UP/RC  shall  be  entitled  to use the New  Equipment  to
          produce other energy drinks as well as Products.

     7.   Save as aforesaid the Agreement  shall be unaffected  hereby and shall
          continue in full force and effect between the parties.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have each caused this Addendum to be
duly executed as of the date first above written.
