the option to: (i) waive the non-compliance; (ii) renegotiate in good faith the
terms of this Agreement, or (iii) terminate this Agreement.

 

  (e)

Right to Audit. NSA shall keep accurate and correct records of all domestic
Purchase Orders and domestic Products purchased (“Records”) during the term of
this Agreement. Such Records shall be retained by NSA for at least three
(3) years following the minimum purchase periods described above (“MPP”). All
MPP Records shall be available during normal business hours for inspection upon
ten (10) days prior notice by a Certified Public Accountant selected by Seller
for the purpose of verifying MPP Records. Except as provided below all costs and
expenses of any such inspection or audit shall be paid by Seller. The selected
Certified Public Accountant shall not disclose to Seller any information other
than information relating to the accuracy of MPP Records under this Agreement.
In the event any such inspection shows Minimum Purchases are not met for any
MPP, the provisions of Section 13(d) shall apply. In addition, if Minimum
Purchases are not met during any MPP and the shortfall is greater than 10% of
Minimum Purchases, then NSA shall pay the reasonable cost of the audit in
addition to the remedies available under Section 13(d).

14. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of the
following:

 

  (a)

Default of Seller. If NSA delivers to Seller a written notice specifying the
nature of Seller’s default and Seller fails to cure such default within thirty
(30) days following the delivery of such notice, then and only then shall NSA
have the right to terminate or cancel this Agreement. A “default” with respect
to Seller shall mean that Seller, or Seller’s Affiliate, as applicable:

 

  (i)

becomes insolvent or has a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
action filed by or against it;

 

  (ii)

is unable to produce the Products in sufficient volume as required by this
Agreement or maintain the quality control levels specified pursuant to this
Agreement;

 

  (iii)

  (v)

is subject to property attachment, court injunction, or court order materially
affecting its operations under this Agreement;

 

  (vi)

breaches any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, commitment or other
agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a material
breach by Seller of its obligations under Sections 11 or 23, if NSA delivers to
Seller a written notice specifying the nature of Seller’s default and Seller
fails to cure such default within three (3) business days following the delivery
of such notice, then and only then shall NSA have the right to terminate or
cancel this Agreement without further opportunity to cure; or

 

  (vii)

shall be in default in the full and prompt payment or performance of any
representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, commitment, condition or
undertaking on Seller’s or Seller’s Affiliate’s part to be paid, met, kept,
observed or performed pursuant to the provisions of any other written agreements
between Seller or Seller’s Affiliate and NSA. “Seller’s Affiliate” shall mean
any individual or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by,
or is under common control with Seller.

 

  (b)

Default by NSA. If Seller delivers to NSA a written notice specifying the nature
of NSA’s default and NSA fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days
following the delivery of such notice, then and only then shall Seller have the
right to terminate or cancel this Agreement. A “default” with respect to NSA
shall mean that NSA:

 

  (i)

becomes insolvent or has a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
action filed by or against it;

 

  (ii)

has all or a substantial portion of its capital stock or assets expropriated or
attached by any government entity;

 

  (iii)

is dissolved or liquidated or has a petition for dissolution or liquidation
filed with respect to it;

 

  (iv)

is subject to property attachment, court injunction, or court order materially
affecting its operations under this Agreement; or

 

  (v)

fails to pay any amount due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided,
however, that if NSA is in good faith contesting any amount owed to Seller as a
result of this Agreement through appropriate proceedings, such failure to pay
shall not be considered an event of default under this Agreement.

 

  (c)

Election to Continue. In the event of a default and the lapse of any applicable
cure period, the non-defaulting party may agree to continue the Agreement rather
than terminating it. To do so, that party shall send a notice to

 

13

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

EXECUTION COPY

 

 

the defaulting party specifying the conditions under which the non-defaulting
party will agree to continue the Agreement. By agreeing to continue the
Agreement in this manner, the non-defaulting party does not waive its right to
later terminate the Agreement for default based on the event of default that is
the subject of the notice.

 

  (d)

Result of Termination by NSA. Upon termination of this Agreement, Seller shall
deliver to NSA all documents, information, and work in process produced in
performance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 17.

15. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be in default nor liable to the other for
any failure to perform directly caused by events beyond that party’s reasonable
control, such as acts of nature, labor strikes, war, insurrections, riots, acts
of governments, embargoes and unusually severe weather provided the affected
party notifies the other party within ten (10) days of the occurrence. Such an
event is an Excusable Delay. THE PARTY AFFECTED BY AN EXCUSABLE DELAY SHALL TAKE
ALL REASONABLE STEPS TO PERFORM DESPITE THE DELAY. If the party is unable to
perform within a reasonable period, this Agreement shall end without any further
obligation of the unaffected party.

16. Reserved.

17. Return of Materials. If NSA terminates this Agreement, Seller shall complete
all work in process in a timely fashion and deliver the same to NSA as provided
herein against payment as provided herein. To the extent that after such work in
progress has been completed, Seller has inventory of raw materials and packaging
materials on hand that were purchased in good faith reliance upon the rolling
forecasts, then NSA shall be liable for, and required to purchase such inventory
from Seller within thirty (30) days from the date that Seller furnishes to NSA a
written reconciliation showing the amount of such inventory; provided that such
inventory is in compliance with the Standards. With the approval of NSA, Seller
may try to use all or any part of such inventory for other customers or sell all
or any part of it to third parties. The Parties shall cooperate and utilize
their reasonable best efforts to prepare such final reconciliations of Products
and inventory and any other amounts to be provided as between them in connection
with such termination. Upon payment of all amounts owed to Seller, Seller shall
return to NSA all materials containing the Confidential Information, documents
produced in the performance of this Agreement, work-in-process, parts, tools and
test equipment paid for, owned or supplied by NSA.

18. Acts of Employees. Each party is solely responsible for the acts of its
respective employees and agents, including any negligent acts. Each party shall
hold harmless, defend and indemnify the other against all claims based on acts
of its respective employees or agents.

19. Insurance. Seller will, at Seller’s expense, maintain in full force and
effect, products liability insurance coverage with a policy limit of at least
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) per occurrence and Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000) in the aggregate, consisting of at least Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) in primary coverage and the remaining Eight Million Dollars
($8,000,000) in an umbrella form for excess liability coverage. Such policy

referred to in this Section 19 shall (a) name NSA and any Master Distributor or
affiliated company designated by NSA as additional insured parties thereunder
(without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon NSA) as respects
distribution or sale of Seller’s products, (b) provide that at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice of cancellation, amendment, or lapse of coverage
shall be given to NSA by the insurer, (c) provide worldwide coverage for
occurrences; and (d) provide coverage for occurrences during the term of this
Agreement which will continue for such occurrences after the term of this
Agreement. Seller will deliver to NSA original or duplicate policies of such
insurance, or satisfactory certificates of insurance.

20. Seller’s Agreement with its Employees. Seller shall have an appropriate
agreement with each of its employees, or others whose service Seller may
require, sufficient to enable it to comply with all of the terms of this
Agreement.

21. Relationship with Employees. Neither party’s employees shall be considered
employees or agents of the other party. Each party shall be solely responsible
for paying, supervising, and directing the manner of work of its employees.

22. Foreign Registrations. In the event NSA intends to sell Products in a new
geographic area, NSA and Seller agree to cooperate and use their best
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain any necessary approvals
or registrations by or with any governmental or regulatory agency in any country
or political subdivision in which the Products are to be sold. NSA and Seller
shall mutually agree as to which party shall be primarily responsible for
obtaining such approvals or registrations on a case-by-case basis. In the event
Seller shall be responsible for obtaining such foreign registrations, Seller
shall obtain such approvals or registrations and/or file all applications on
behalf of and under the name of NSA. Payment for all costs incurred in obtaining
such foreign registrations shall be made as listed on subsequent written
memorandums signed by the Parties and expressly referring to this Agreement.
Regardless of which Party shall be responsible for obtaining such foreign
registrations, the responsible Party will provide copies of all registration
documents for the other Party’s review prior to submission for approval of such
registration documents. The reviewing Party will have ten (10) business days
following receipt of such registration documents to provide comments to the
responsible Party on any such matters following submission to it. All such
approvals, registrations and applications under this Section shall inure solely
to the benefit of NSA and Seller shall have no rights in any such approvals,
registrations, or applications. All costs, including consulting and legal fees,
associated with obtaining and maintaining approvals or registrations for
products not manufactured by Seller shall be borne completely by NSA.

23. Restriction on Manufacture or Distribution of Competing Products. During the
term of this Agreement and any extensions hereof and for a period of three
(3) years hereafter, Seller agrees that Seller shall not manufacture or
otherwise distribute any products substantially similar to the Products. For
purposes of this Section 23, a product will be considered to be substantially
similar to the Products if it is an encapsulated whole food based nutrition
product containing blended fruit, berry and/or vegetable juice powders. The
failure of Seller to comply with the provision of this Section 23 shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

24. Amendments. This Agreement may only be changed or supplemented by a written
amendment, signed by authorized representatives of each party.

25. Assignment. Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party. Any
attempted assignment or delegation without such an approval shall be void.
Provided, however, that NSA may assign this Agreement to any Affiliate of NSA,
without being released from its obligations hereunder. “Affiliate” shall mean
any individual or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by,
or is under common control with NSA.

26. Governing Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Tennessee without regard to any provision (including conflicts of law
provisions) which would require the application of the law of any state other
than the State of Tennessee. All disputes arising under or in connection with
this Agreement shall be determined by actions filed in the courts within the
State of Tennessee.

27. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions shall not be affected.

28. Effect of Title and Headings. The title of the Agreement and the headings of
its Sections are included for convenience, and shall not affect the meaning of

30. Waiver. Failure of either party to insist in any strict conformance to any
term herein, or in Purchase Orders issued hereunder, or failure by either party

the same or any other term contained herein.

31. Indemnification by NSA and Seller.

(a) Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless NSA, its

entities as a result of any third party demands, actions, suits, prosecutions or
other such claims arising on and after the date of this Agreement (“Third Party
Claims”) based on: (i) any injury to or death of any person, or damage to
property caused in any way by a Product provided by Seller under this Agreement:
(ii) any claims that a Product infringes any patent, copyright, trade mark
right, trade secret, mask work right or other proprietary right of any third

(iii) any alleged breach of Seller’s representations and warranties contained
herein.

(b) Indemnification by NSA. NSA shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its
subsidiaries, affiliated and/or controlled companies, as well as each of their
respective officers, directors, agents, and employees, from and against all

Party Claims based on: (i) any alleged breach of NSA’s warranties contained
herein; or (ii) any claims that a Product infringes any patent, copyright, trade
mark right, trade secret, mask work right or other proprietary right of any
third party to the extent that such claim is attributable to Seller’s
incorporation of formulations, specifications or materials provided by NSA into
the Products. For purposes of this Section, all formulations, specifications or
materials provided by NSA into the Products shall be described in

Section (the “Indemnified Party”) will provide the party obligated to provide
indemnification under this Section (the “Indemnifying Party”) with prompt notice
of any Third Party Claim for which its seeks indemnification under this Section,
provided that the failure to do so will not excuse the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Section 31 except to the extent prejudiced by such
failure or delay. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement
effected without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Parties shall cooperate in defending any Third Party

expeditious means practicable, but in no event later than the next business day,

this Agreement by a governmental agency or any licensing unit thereof. NSA, at
its sole discretion and expense may elect to send an employee or designee to
