      standard operating procedures to be approved in advance by Knockout
      relating to the manufacturing of the Ingredients and blending process that
      will be used by Cessco and any subsequent Approved Manufacturers of the
      Ingredients and bottlers. If Charleston fails to provide the Ingredients
      according to Knockout's business needs, Knockout and Charleston will
      cooperate fully and promptly in good faith to select other Approved
      Manufacturers for the Ingredients.

      B. If Charleston elects not to manufacture or fails to deliver the
      prcordered concentrate in the required specifications within 60 days of
      the receipt of a purchase" order and/or requirements of a purchase order,
      Charleston agrees that Knockout shall have the option, to have a third
      party Approved Manufacturer to buy bulk Ingredients to mix, bottle and
      package the Products. Should Knockout select this option due to its
      business needs, the following alternative royalty structure shall be in
      effect: Knockout will pay to Charleston SO.20 per gallon of ready to use
      Product produced, 60 days from production completion paid by the first of
      each month.

      C. Quality Assurance. Charleston shall be responsible for maintaining a
      quality control program for the formulation and manufacture of the
      Ingredients consistent with industry standards and Knockouts manufacturing
      specifications and requirements, and Knockout's packager/bottler shall be
      responsible for mixing, labeling and packaging the Ingredients; however,
      Knockout shall retain the right to reasonably set or modify the quality
      standards and to have a third party work with Charleston and/or Approved
      Manufacturer(s) to assure overall quality of Ingredients and/or Products.

4. Payment.

      A. All purchase orders for Ingredients shall be submitted directly to
      Charleston for an Approved Manufacturer being managed by Charleston.
      Knockout shall pay to Charleston the sum of Twenty-four Dollars ($24.00)
      for each gallon of Ingredients supplied by Charleston (or its Approved
      Manufacturer) to Knockout (or to Knockout's packagers/bottlers). The price
      of Ingredients shall not increase during the term of this Agreement.
      Charleston has agreed to defer the payment of a portion of the purchase
      price for one (I) year, and a portion of the purchase price for one
      hundred eighty (180) days. Knockout has agreed to pay a portion of the
      purchase price at the time it places an order for Ingredients. The
      calculation and timing of the amounts payable shall be as follows: The
      portion of the purchase price that shall be deferred for one (1) year
      shall be the equivalent of twenty percent (20%) of the gross purchase
      price of the Ingredients that are being ordered. Based upon a price of


                                       3
<PAGE>

      Twenty-four Dollars ($24.00) per gallon, the sum of Four and 80/100
      Dollars ($4.80) shall be deferred for one (1) year from the date of the
      receipt of a purchase order by Charleston. That portion of the purchase
      price that shall be paid by Knockout to Charleston upon the submission of
      an order for Ingredients shall be seventy percent (70%) of the gross
      purchase price less the amount deferred for one (1) year. Based upon a
      purchase price of Twenty-four Dollars ($24.00) per gallon, that equates to
      Thirteen and 44/100 Dollars ($13.44) ($24.00 - $4.80 = $19.20 X 0.70 =
      $13.44). The balance of the purchase price, or Five and 76/100 Dollars
      ($5.76), shall be paid by Knockout within one hundred eighty (ISO) days of
      the receipt by Charleston of a purchase order. All payments required
      hereunder shall be in good collected funds. Charleston shall refund
      amounts paid for any delivered Ingredients that do not meet the quality
      standard as required by Knockout.

      B. Charleston and Knockout shall endeavor to improve the Secret Formulae
      and reduce the costs associated with the manufacturing of such
      Ingredients, while maintaining the quality control standard set by
      Knockout, while such cost savings shall be mutually shared between the
      parties. ' '
