L.P. or any other investment fund managed by TPG Capital, L.P. or any of their
respective direct or indirect owners or affiliates), of (1) ownership of stock
of the Company, that, together with any stock previously held by such person or
group, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the
Company; or (2) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided,
however, that any such event constitutes a change in “the ownership or effective
control,” or in “the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the
Company, within the meaning of Section 409A (as defined below).
(y)    Expiration of Options. The Option Award shall cease to be exercisable (i)

termination of the Executive’s employment other than for Cause (or upon the

If the shares subject to the Equity Award are not freely tradable by the
Executive on a public market at the time of exercise the Company shall permit
the Executive to “net exercise” the options by having the Company withhold

incurred by the Executive in accordance with the Company’s policies, practices

provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of expenses for which
the Executive is eligible to receive reimbursement during any calendar year
shall not affect the amount of expenses for which the Executive is eligible to
receive reimbursement during any other calendar year during the Employment
Period. Reimbursement of expenses under this Section 2(b)(7) shall be made no
later than thirty (30) days after the Executive submits appropriate
documentation to the Company; provided that all such documentation must be
provided to the Company within thirty (30) days after the expense is incurred.

reimbursement under this Section 2(b)(7).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the Executive’s
inability to perform, with or without reasonable accommodation, the essential
functions of his position hereunder for a period of 180 consecutive days due to
mental or physical incapacity, as determined by mutual agreement of a physician
selected by the Company or its insurers and a physician selected by the
Executive; provided, however, if the opinion of the Company’s physician and the
Executive’s physician conflict, the Company’s physician and the Executive’s
physician shall together agree upon a third physician, whose opinion shall be
binding.

during the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause”
shall mean Executive’s (1) gross or willful misconduct of Executive at any time

other than a termination based upon Cause, death or Disability.

events which occurs without Executive’s consent, and is not cured by the Company
within 20 days after Executive’s notice in writing to the Company within 90 days

avoidance of doubt, non-extension of the Employment Period by either party shall
not constitute termination by the Company without Cause.

(which date shall not be more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The
failure by the Company or the Executive to set forth in the Notice of

Executive for that amount of the premium costs charged to the Executive for such
COBRA continuation coverage as is equal to that amount paid by the Company on
behalf of similarly situated active employees during such period; provided,

Executive becomes eligible to receive medical and dental coverage from a
subsequent employer (and any such eligibility shall be promptly reported to the
Company by the Executive); and (6) the Other Benefits. For the avoidance of

the Company shall be entitled to seek damages from the Executive for any breach

strategic information, business plans, processes and compilations of
information, records, specifications and information concerning customers or
venders, customer lists, and information regarding methods of doing business. As
defined herein, Confidential Information shall not include information that is
generally known to other persons or entities who can obtain economic value from
its disclosure or use.
(b)    The Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information has been
developed or acquired by the Company through the expenditure of substantial
time, effort and money and provides the Company with an advantage over
competitors who do not know or use such Confidential Information.
(c)    During and following the Executive’s employment by the Company, the
Executive shall hold in confidence and not directly or indirectly disclose or
use or copy or make lists of any Confidential Information except to the extent
authorized in writing by the Board or compelled by legal process, other than to
an employee of the Company or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably
necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the Executive of
his duties as an employee of the Company. The Executive agrees to use reasonable
efforts to give the Company notice of any and all attempts to compel disclosure
of any Confidential Information, in such a manner so as to provide the Company
with written notice at least five (5) days before disclosure or within one (1)
business day after the Executive is informed that such disclosure is being or
will be compelled, whichever is earlier. Such written notice shall include a
description of the information to be disclosed, the court, government agency, or
other forum through which the disclosure is sought, and the date by which the
information is to be disclosed, and shall contain a copy of the subpoena, order
or other process used to compel disclosure.
(d)    The Executive further agrees not to use any Confidential Information for
the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company.
(e)    As used in this Section 6 “Company” shall include Schiff Nutrition

shall prepare, or use, or be provided with as a result of his employment with
the Company, shall be and remain the sole property of the Company or its
affiliates, as the case may be, and shall be returned promptly by the Executive
to the owner upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.
The Executive shall be entitled to retain his telephone, address and other
contact directories.
8.    Successors. The Company may assign its rights under this Agreement to any
affiliate or successor to all or substantially all the assets of the Company, by
merger or otherwise, and may assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights
hereunder as security for indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries
subject to the assignee agreeing to assume and perform all of the Company’s
obligations hereunder. The rights and obligations of the Executive under this
Agreement may not be assigned or encumbered by the Executive, voluntarily or
involuntarily, during his lifetime, and any such purported assignment shall be
void. However, all rights of the Executive under this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal
representatives, estates, executors, administrators, heirs and beneficiaries.
All amounts payable to the Executive hereunder shall be paid, in the event of
the Executive’s death, to the Executive’s estate, heirs or representatives, as
appropriate.
9.    Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement.
(a)    During his employment by the Company, including the Employment Period,
the Company shall provide the Executive with Confidential Information of the
Company as described in Section 6. Accordingly, in consideration for the
Company’s commitment to provide Confidential Information to the Executive, and,
in the case of the Executive’s termination pursuant to Section 4(d), in
consideration for the Severance Payments, and in order to protect the value of
the Confidential Information to the Company, the Executive agrees that during
the Term of Non-Competition (as defined below) or the Term of Non-Solicitation
(as defined below), whichever is longer, he will not directly or indirectly
disclose or use or disclose for any reason whatsoever any Confidential
Information obtained by reason of his employment with the Company or any
predecessor, except as required to conduct the business of the Company. The
obligations of the Executive set forth in the preceding sentence are in addition
to, and not in lieu of, the obligations of the Executive set forth in Section 6
of this Agreement. The “Term of Non-Competition” shall be defined as that term
beginning on the Effective Date and continuing until the twelve-month
anniversary of the Date of Termination. “The Term of Non-Solicitation” shall be
defined as that term beginning on the Effective Date and continuing until the
twelve-month anniversary of the Date of Termination.
(b)    The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the nature of the Confidential
Information which the Company commits to provide him during his employment by
the Company would make it difficult, if not impossible, for him to perform in a
similar capacity for a Competing Business (as defined below) without disclosing
or utilizing the Confidential Information. The Executive further acknowledges
and agrees that the Company’s business is conducted throughout the world in a
highly competitive market. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that to his
knowledge he will not (other than for the benefit of the Company pursuant to
this Agreement) directly or indirectly, individually or as an officer, director,
employee, shareholder, consultant, contractor, partner, joint venturer, agent,
equity owner or in any capacity whatsoever (1) during the term of
Non-Competition, engage in a Competing Business (as defined below); provided

some of which are not a Competing Business, so long as the Executive’s services
for such entity are restricted so that he will provide no services or other
assistance in support of, and will not otherwise be involved with, any Competing
Business conducted by such entity (except that Executive shall be permitted to
serve in a management capacity with responsibility for multiple product lines so
long as such responsibility does not cover product lines for which more than 10
percent of the collective revenues are generated by a Competing Business); or
(2) during the Term of Non-Solicitation, (i) hire, attempt to hire, or contact
or solicit with respect to hiring any employee of the Company and/or its

clauses (i) and (ii) shall not prohibit general advertisements or other
communications in any media not targeted specifically at employees or customers
of the Company and/or its affiliates.
(c)    For the purposes of this Section 9, “Competing Business” shall mean a
business engaged in the manufacture, marketing or sale of nutritional or immune
support products whether in the form of drinks, bars, herbs, minerals,
supplements, powders, vitamins or pills or any other business, in any
geographical area in which the Company (itself or through any subsidiary)
conducts, or has taken substantial steps to conduct, business on the Date of
Termination.
(d)    During the Term of Non-Competition, the Executive will not use the
Executive’s access to, knowledge of, or application of Confidential Information
to perform any duty for any Competing Business; it being understood and agreed
to that this Section 9(d) shall be in addition to and not be construed as a
limitation upon the covenants in Section 9(b) hereof.
(e)    During the Employment Period and at all times following the Executive’s
termination of employment with the Company, the Executive shall not disparage
the Company, any of its products or practices, or any of its directors,

orally or in writing, and the Company shall instruct its Board and executives
not to disparage the Executive orally or in writing at any time; provided that
either party may confer in confidence with its legal representatives and make
truthful statements as required by law.
(f)    The Executive acknowledges that the geographic boundaries, scope of
prohibited activities, and time duration of the preceding paragraphs are
reasonable in nature and are no broader than are necessary to maintain the
confidentiality and the goodwill of the Company and the confidentiality of its
Confidential Information and to protect the other legitimate business interests
of the Company.
(g)    If any court determines that any portion of this Section 9 is invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Section 9 shall not thereby be affected and
shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid provisions. If any
court construes any of the provisions of this Section 9, or any part thereof, to
be unreasonable because of the duration or scope of such provision, such court
shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision and to
enforce such provision as so reduced.

invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term

6, 7, 9, or

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXECUTION VERSION

10 by the Executive and that any such breach would cause the Company irreparable
harm. Accordingly, the Company, in addition to any other remedies at law or in
equity it may have, shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting of
bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and
specific performance, in connection with a breach of Sections 6, 7, 9, or 10 by
the Executive. In addition to the remedies the Company may have at law or in
equity, violation of Sections 6, 7, 9, or 10 herein will entitle the Company at
its sole option to discontinue the Severance Payments to the Executive, and to
seek repayment from the Executive of any Severance Payments paid to him by the
Company during the period of time the Executive was in violation of Sections 6,
7, 9, or 10. No action taken by the Company under this Section 11(g) shall
affect the enforceability of the Release executed by the Executive pursuant to
Section 4(e).
(h)    Complete Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement constitute the
entire and complete understanding and agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral
and written agreements, term sheets, representations and understandings of the
parties, which are hereby terminated. Other than expressly set forth herein, the
Executive and Company acknowledge and represent that there are no other
promises, terms, conditions or representations (or written) regarding any matter
relevant hereto. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts.
This Agreement shall not be amended except by written instrument signed by all
parties hereto.
(i)    Arbitration. The Company and the Executive agree to the resolution by
binding arbitration of all claims, demands, causes of action, disputes,
controversies or other matters in question (“claims”) whether or not arising out
of this Agreement or the Executive’s employment (or its termination), whether
sounding in contract, tort or otherwise and whether provided by statute or
common law, that the Company may have against the Executive or that the
Executive may have against the Company or its parents, subsidiaries and
affiliates, and each of the foregoing entities’ respective officers, directors,
employees or agents in their capacity as such or otherwise; except that this
agreement to arbitrate shall not limit the Company’s right to seek equitable
relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and damages in a
court of competent jurisdiction for an alleged breach of Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 or
10 of this Agreement. Claims covered by this agreement to arbitrate also include
claims by the Executive for breach of this Agreement, wrongful termination,
discrimination (based on age, race, sex, disability, national origin or any
other factor) and retaliation. In the event of any breach of this Agreement by
the Company, it is expressly agreed that notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the only damages to which the Executive shall be entitled is
lost compensation and benefits in accordance with Section 2(b) or 4. The Company
and the Executive agree that any arbitration shall be in accordance with the
Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and, to the extent an issue is not addressed by
the FAA, with the then-current National Rules for the Resolution of Employment
Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or such other rules of
the AAA as applicable to the claims being arbitrated. If a party refuses to
honor its obligations under this agreement to arbitrate, the other party may
compel arbitration in either federal or state court. The arbitrator shall apply
the substantive law of the State of Utah (excluding Utah choice-of-law
principles that might call for the application of some other state’s law), or
federal law, or both as applicable to the claims asserted. The arbitrator shall
have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation,
applicability, enforceability or formation of this agreement to arbitrate,
including any claim that all or part of this Agreement is void or voidable and
any claim that an issue is not subject to arbitration. The parties agree that
venue for arbitration will be in Salt Lake City, Utah, and that any arbitration
commenced in any

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXECUTION VERSION

other venue will be transferred to Salt Lake City, Utah, upon the written
request of any party to this Agreement. In the event that an arbitration is
actually conducted pursuant to this Section 11(i), the party in whose favor the
arbitrator renders the award shall be entitled to have and recover from the
other party all costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, expert witness fees, and costs actually incurred. Any and all of the
arbitrator’s orders, decisions and awards may be enforceable in, and judgment
upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and entered by, any
federal or state court having jurisdiction. All proceedings conducted pursuant
to this agreement to arbitrate, including any order, decision or award of the
arbitrator, shall be kept confidential by all parties. THE EXECUTIVE
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE EXECUTIVE IS WAIVING ANY RIGHT
THAT THE EXECUTIVE MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OR, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED
HEREIN, A COURT TRIAL OF ANY EMPLOYMENT-RELATED CLAIM THAT THE EXECUTIVE MAY
ALLEGE.
(j)    Survival. Sections 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 of this Agreement shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
(k)    Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Utah without reference to principles of
conflict of laws of Utah or any other jurisdiction, and, where applicable, the
laws of the United States.
(l)    Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified at any time
except by a written instrument approved by the Board and executed by the Company
and the Executive.
(m)    Section 409A.
(1)    General. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent
applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with, and
incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A of the Code and
the Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued
thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or guidance that
may be issued after the Effective Date (collectively, “Section 409A”).
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event
that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be
immediately taxable to the Executive under Section 409A, the Company reserves
the right (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify the Executive for
failure to do so) to (i) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate
policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive
effect, that the Company determines to be necessary or appropriate to preserve
the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to
preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable
accounting or tax consequences for the Company and/or (ii) take such other
actions as the Company determines to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the
amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements
of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder.
No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any
liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A from the
Executive or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates,
employees or agents.

EXECUTION VERSION

(2)    Separation from Service under Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary in this Agreement:
(i)     no amount shall be payable pursuant to Section 4 unless the termination
of the Executive’s employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Department of Treasury Regulations;
(ii)    if the Executive is deemed at the time of his separation from service to
be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code,
to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the termination benefits to
which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any portion of the additional compensation awarded pursuant to
Section 4 is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of the Executive’s termination
benefits shall not be provided to the Executive prior to the earlier of (1) the
expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s
“separation from service” with the Company (as such term is defined in the
Department of Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code) or (2)
the date of the Executive’s death. Upon the earlier of such dates, all payments
deferred pursuant to this Section 11(m)(2)(ii) shall be paid in a lump sum to
the Executive, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid
as otherwise provided herein;
(iii)    the determination of whether the Executive is a “specified employee”
for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of his
separation from service shall be made by the Company in accordance with the
terms of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder (including
without limitation Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Department of Treasury Regulations
and any successor provision thereto);
(iv)    for purposes of Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive
installment payments pursuant to Section 4 shall be treated as a right to
receive a series of separate and distinct payments; and
(v)    to the extent that any reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits
constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, such reimbursement or
benefit shall be provided no later than December 31 of the year following the
year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses reimbursed in one
year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent
year. The amount of any in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not affect
the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other year.
(3)    Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to
the extent that any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the
meaning of Section 409A) due under this Agreement as a result of the Executive’s
termination of employment are subject to the Executive’s execution and delivery
of a Release, (i) the Company shall deliver the Release to the Executive within
ten (10) business days following the Date of Termination, and the Company’s
failure to deliver a Release prior to the expiration of such ten (10) business
day period shall constitute a waiver of any requirement to execute a Release,
(ii) if the Executive fails to execute the Release on or prior to the Release
Expiration Date (as defined below) or timely revokes his acceptance of the
Release thereafter, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or
benefits otherwise conditioned on the Release, and (iii) in any case where the
Date of Termination and the Release Expiration Date fall in two separate taxable
years, any payments required to be

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXECUTION VERSION

made to the Executive that are conditioned on the Release and are treated as
nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A shall be made in
the later taxable year. For purposes of this Section 11(m)(3), “Release
Expiration Date” shall mean the date that is twenty-one (21) days following the
date upon which the Company timely delivers the Release to the Executive, or, in
the event that the Executive’s termination of employment is “in connection with
an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is
defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967), the date that is
forty-five (45) days following such delivery date. To the extent that any
payments of nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of
Section 409A) due under this Agreement as a result of the Executive’s
termination of employment are delayed pursuant to this Section 11(m)(3), such
amounts shall be paid in a lump sum on the first payroll date following the date
that the Executive executes and does not revoke the Release (and the applicable
revocation period has expired) or, in the case of any payments subject to
Section 11(m)(3)(iii), on the first payroll period to occur in the subsequent
taxable year, if later.
(n)    Indemnification and Insurance. The Company shall indemnify the Executive
to the full extent provided for in its corporate Bylaws and to the maximum
extent that the Company indemnifies any of its other directors and senior
executive officers, and he will be entitled to the protection of any insurance
policies the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its
directors and senior executive officers against all costs, charges, liabilities
and expenses incurred or sustained by him in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been
a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or his
serving or having served any other enterprise, plan or trust as a director,
officer, employee or fiduciary at the request of the Company or any of its
affiliates (other than any dispute, claim or controversy arising under or
relating to this Agreement (except for this Section 11(n))). The Company will
enter into an indemnification agreement with the Executive in the standard form
that it has or will adopt for the benefit of its other directors and senior
executive officers. The provisions of this Section 11(n) shall survive any
termination of the Executive’s employment or any termination of this Agreement.
(o)    Section 280G. In the event that it shall be determined that any payment
or distribution to or for the benefit of the Executive under this Agreement or
under any other Company plan, contract or agreement would, but for the effect of
this Section 11(o), be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (collectively,
such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, the “Excise
Tax”), then, at the election of the Executive, in the event that the after-tax
value of all Payments (as defined below) to the Executive (such after-tax value
to reflect the deduction of the Excise Tax and all income or other taxes on such
Payments) would, in the aggregate, be less than the after-tax value to the
Executive of the Safe Harbor Amount (as defined below), (1) the cash portions of
the Payments payable to the Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced, in
the order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value (as
defined below) of all Payments paid to the Executive, in the aggregate, equals
the Safe Harbor Amount, and (2) if the reduction of the cash portions of the
Payments, payable under this Agreement, to zero would not be sufficient to
reduce the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, then any
cash portions of the Payments payable to the Executive under any other plans
shall be reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the
Parachute Value of all Payments paid to the Executive, in the aggregate, equals
the Safe Harbor Amount, and (3) if the reduction of all cash portions of the
Payments, payable pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise, to zero would not be
sufficient to reduce the Parachute Value of

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXECUTION VERSION

all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, then non-cash portions of the Payments
shall be reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the
Parachute Value of all Payments paid to the Executive, in the aggregate, equals
the Safe Harbor Amount. As used herein, (x) “Payment” shall mean any payment or
distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or
payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, (y) “Safe Harbor Amount” shall
mean 2.99 times the Executive’s “base amount,” within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(3) of the Code, and (z) “Parachute Value” of a Payment shall mean the
present value as of the date of the Change in Control for purposes of Section
280G of the Code of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute
payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code for purposes of determining
whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment. All
calculations under this section shall be made reasonably by the Company and the
Company’s outside auditor at the Company’s expense and at the times reasonably
requested by the Executive.
(p)    Executive Acknowledgments. The Executive represents and warrants that the
Executive’s employment with the Company does not violate any other agreement
binding on the Executive, nor violate any obligation of confidentiality between
the Executive and any third party. The Executive acknowledges that he has read
and understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, has not
acted in reliance upon any representatives or promises made by the Company other
than those contained in writing herein, and has entered into this Agreement
freely based on his own judgment.
