election to distribute the New Products.


 


14. Pricing Structure and Disputed Accounts:
In the event that two or more Independent Contractors/Distributors are engaged in the “direct selling” of the
Company’s products in the same geographic territory to the same accounts- they must do so with the Company’s authorization
and acknowledgement as well as have a recognized “floor” pricing which must be established and agreed to by the different
parties to prevent the Company’s line being sold “below market” prices. This only relates to Direct Store Distribution
(DSD) transactions. In the Event that two, or more, Distributors service the same account then it is the Company’s duty to
designate the order of preference among the distributors to service the account being disputed.


 


15.Miscellaneous Provisions.


 


(a)Notices. All notices permitted, required
or provided for by this Agreement shall be made in writing, and shall be deemed adequately delivered if delivered by hand or by
the mailing of the notice in the U.S. mail, pre-paid certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by a nationally
recognized overnight courier service that regularly maintains records of its pick-ups and deliveries, to the parties at their respective
addresses set forth above or to any other address designated by a party hereto by written notice of such address change. Notices
delivered personally shall be deemed given and received as of the date of actual receipt, mailed notices shall be deemed given

(d)Invalidity of Provision. Any term or provision
of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement
or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. Further,
to the extent that any term or provision hereof is deemed invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, but may be made enforceable
by amendment thereto, the parties agree that such amendment may be made so that the same shall, nevertheless, be enforceable to
the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in any such jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.


 


(e)Event on Non-Business Days. Whenever any
action is to be taken or any event is to occur, other than the giving of notice for which separate provision is made above, under
or pursuant to this Agreement, on any Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the place of performance of such action,

provisions of this Agreement, or of any inaccuracy in or non-fulfillment of any of the representations, warranties or obligations
hereunder or contemplated hereby, shall not be effective unless made in writing and signed by the party against whom the enforcement
of any such waiver is sought. A waiver given in any case shall only apply with respect to that particular act, omission or breach,
and shall not be effective as to any further or subsequent act, omission or breach, regardless of whether they be of the same or
similar nature.


 


(h)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.


 


		(i)	Entire Agreement. This writing is intended by the parties to be a final, complete and
exclusive statement of their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof. All prior or contemporaneous oral or written
statements are hereby excluded and are superseded. It is expressly agreed that no course of performance, course of dealing or usage
of trade shall be admissible to contradict, supplement or explain the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, it is expressly agreed
that a party’s acceptance of or acquiescence in a course of performance under this Agreement shall not be admissible to modify,
waive, supplement or explain the terms hereof, even if that party is aware of the course of performance and has an opportunity
to object to it.



 


 


Neither party shall be bound by and specifically
objects to any additional term or condition whatsoever that is different from or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement,
whether or not such term or condition will materially alter this Agreement. Any additional or different terms stated by Company
or Distributor in any proposal, quotation, purchase order, confirmation or invoice shall be of no force and effect.
