Exhibit 10.2

Monday, March 24, 2008

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

DELIVERED TO:

Brent Willis

Dear Brent;

We are writing to notify you that your employment with Cott is hereby terminated without cause, effective Monday, March 24, 2008. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms in this letter shall have the meanings given to them in your Employment Agreement with Cott dated May 16, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement”).

Cott appreciates your contribution to the corporation and with a view to resolving all matters on an amicable basis, has prepared the following severance arrangements:

1. Date of Termination

The effective date of termination of employment is Monday, March 24, 2008 (the “Termination Date”).

2. Accrued Salary and Vacation Pay

You will be paid your Base Salary, car allowance and accrued vacation pay to the Termination Date. These payments will be less applicable statutory deductions and withholdings and paid in a lump-sum payment during the next pay period immediately following the Termination Date.

3. Severance Payment

As outlined in Section 5.2 of your Employment Agreement, we have mutually agreed to a lump-sum payment equal to 2 times your Base Salary, 2 times your Target Bonus, a prorated Target Bonus for the current year and the equivalent value of 136,000 shares of Cott stock, based on closing price on NYSE as of March 20, 2008 (closing price on last day prior to your termination date). You will receive these payments within 30 days of your termination date in accordance with your Employment Agreement and a break down of the payments is shown below.

In lieu of 30 days notice as provided in your Employment Agreement under Section 1.1, we are offering to pay this amount as part of your severance. In the event that you do not accept these terms this letter is to be taken as your notice of termination pursuant to Section 1.1 of your Employment Agreement.

The total payment will be equal to $3,468,733 (three million, four hundred and sixty eight dollars and seven hundred and thirty three dollars) less applicable withholdings, calculated as the sum of the following:

• Annual Base Salary ($725,000) + Target Bonus ($725,000) x 2 = a total amount of $2,900,000.00

1

• Pro-rated Target Bonus equal to 2 months and 24 days: $180,423.00

• One months full pay in lieu of 30 days notice as per Section 1.1 of your Employment Agreement (includes pro-rated bonus, car allowance and benefits continuation) = $122,334.00

• Buy Out of Annual Medical Assessment (including tax gross up) = $15,736.00

• 136,000 shares of Cott Stock X $1.84 (closing price on NYSE as of March 20, 2008) = $250,240.00

4. Long Term Incentive Awards

Your participation in the Performance Share Unit Plan will cease with immediate effect on your Termination Date. The Performance Share Unit (PSU) awards provided to you in 2006 and 2007 will be pro-rated based on your Termination Date plus 1 months notice as detailed below. The prorated PSUs may become payable to you based on the performance goals of the PSU plan being achieved as provided for in the plan, and as approved by the Board. Such payouts will be determined at the end of the performance cycle for each plan and will be payable at the same time that such payouts are made to other participants.

2006 Awards:	2 years and 4 months prorated PSUs equals 95,254 PSU’s
2007 Awards:	1 year and 4 months prorated PSUs equals 42,419 PSU’s

Total PSU Units is equal to 137,673 Units

5. Benefits

We confirm that, to the extent Cott may do so legally and in compliance with its benefit plans, the following benefits will continue for a period of 25 months (24 months plus 30 days notice) following the Termination Date or until alternative employment is secured that provides comparable benefits: Extended Health Care, Dental and Vision, Basic Life and AD&D and Executive Long Term Care Insurance, and Executive Life Insurance.

6. Expenses

To the extent that you have incurred any proper travel, entertainment or other business expenses, you will be reimbursed in accordance with Cott’s policy. All expense reports must be submitted within 30 days of your Termination Date.

7. On Hire Cash Award to Purchase Cott Stock & Share Purchase Plan/401k plan

All of your rights with respect to the cash award provided to you on hire to purchase Cott stock and hold for a minimum of three (3) years will become your property and the holding requirement of 3 years no longer enforced.

All other rights under Cott’s share purchase plans (other than the PSU Plan under which your entitlement shall be as described as above) and other long-term incentive plans, including, without limitation, all rights to unvested shares under the 401k Plan and Employee Share Purchase Plan shall

2

terminate on the Termination Date in accordance with those plans. Rights under these plans that have vested as of the Termination Date will continue in accordance with and subject to the terms of the applicable plans.

8. No Other Payments

The payments and other entitlements set out in this letter, including the attached schedules, constitute your complete entitlement and Cott’s complete obligations whatsoever, including with respect to the cessation of your employment, whether at common law, statute or contract. For greater certainty, we confirm that you are not entitled to any further payment (including any bonus payments), benefits, perquisites, allowances or entitlements earned or owing to you from Cott pursuant to any employment or any other agreement, whether written or oral, whatsoever, all having ceased on the Termination Date without further obligation from Cott. All amounts paid to you pursuant to this letter shall be deemed to include all amounts owing pursuant to the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and any applicable state wage payment or wage collection law, and such payments represent a greater right or benefit than that required under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and any applicable state wage payment or wage collection law.

9. Resignation & Release

You will resign as an officer and director of Cott (and any direct and indirect affiliates, subsidiaries and associated companies) with effect as of the Termination Date. In this respect, you agree to execute and deliver the Resignation Notice attached hereto as Schedule “1” and such further documentation as may be required by Cott, in its sole discretion, in order to effect this resignation. You agree to sign the Release Agreement in the form attached as Schedule “2” to this letter, which is a condition precedent to you receiving any severance payments hereunder that are in excess of payments required by statute.

10. Your Continuing Obligations To Cott
