        (b)    For
purposes hereof, "Cause" shall mean, and be limited to any of the following that is reasonably determined by the Board, to be substantially detrimental to the
business or reputation of the Company, and which occur after the Effective Time: (i) the Executive's willful commission of acts of dishonesty in connection with his position, (ii) the
Executive's willful failure or refusal to perform the essential duties of his position, or (iii) conviction of a felony or engaging in illegal conduct. If a ground for termination under this
Section 2(b) is amenable to cure, the Company shall provide the Executive with written notice describing the nature of the ground for termination. If the Executive cures same within thirty
(30) days after receiving such notice, there shall be no termination for Cause. 

 

        (c)    For
purposes hereof, the term "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following events unless Executive specifically agrees in writing that
such event shall not be Good Reason:

assignment to Executive by the Board of Directors or other officers or representatives of Company of duties materially inconsistent with the duties associated with
the position described in Section 1; 

        (ii)    a
material change in the nature or scope of Executive's authority from those applicable to him as Chief Executive Officer; 

        (iii)    the

or preventing him from performing his duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement; 

        (iv)    a
material breach by Company of any material provision of this Agreement, provided that failure of Company to pay any amount, or to provide any benefit, pursuant to the
provision of Articles 3 and 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a material breach by Company of a material provision of this Agreement and shall provide Executive the right to terminate his employment
under this Agreement at any time after such 30 day period; provided, however, if the Company cures the same within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice, there shall be no
termination for Good Reason; or 

        (v)    on
or after a Change of Control, requiring Executive to be principally based at any office or location more than 45 miles from the current offices of the Company in
Sunrise, Florida.

by a single Co-Executive), or three years (in the case of delivery of a Put Notice by both Co-Executives), in equal amounts each year pro rata among the Executive and any
Co-Executive based on the number of shares of Common Stock specified in each Put Notice; provided, however, that the Company shall
not have such right to delay the payment of such funds in any succeeding year or years if the Company elects to sell the shares of Common Stock as set forth in the succeeding sentence. In lieu of a
cash payment, the Company shall have the option of causing the shares specified in a Put Notice to be sold, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, pursuant to a registration statement filed by the
Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in which the shares shall be included, or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act, in either case with the funds being remitted to the Executive on the close of such sale (provided, further, that (x) the Executive
shall receive at least $3,000,000 from such sale and (y) any sale pursuant to a registration statement shall not count as a "Demand Registration" pursuant to that certain Registration Rights
Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, RGGPLS Holding, Inc., a Florida corporation ("RGGPLS"), GRH Holdings, L.L.C., a Florida
limited liability company, and Becton, Dickinson and Company, a New Jersey corporation). The Company agrees and acknowledges that the Executive shall have the right to require the Company to purchase
shares of Common Stock from him hereunder without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 2.4 of the Registration Rights Agreement. 

        (c)    For
purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" means any of the following events:

of the Company or any employee benefit plan (or any related trust) of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company,

as through such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board); or 

        (iii)    approval
by the stockholders of the Company of either of the following: 

        (1)    a
merger, reorganization, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction (any of the foregoing, a "Merger") as a result of which the persons who were the
respective beneficial owners of the outstanding Common Stock immediately before such Merger are not expected to beneficially own, immediately after such Merger, directly or indirectly, more than 50%
of the common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Merger in substantially the same proportions as
immediately before such Merger, or 

        (2)    a
plan of liquidation of the Company or a plan or agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 

        (iv)    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, there shall not be a Change in Control if, in advance of such event, Executive agrees in writing that such event shall not constitute a
Change in Control. 

        (d)    The
Company's obligations under this Section 5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

All previous oral or written agreements between the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been completely fulfilled by both parties and shall be superseded by this Agreement. No modification or
addition hereto or waiver or cancellation of any provision shall be valid except by a writing signed by the party to be charged therewith. 

7.     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS  

        This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives. As used
herein, the successors of the Company shall include, but not be limited to, any successor by way of merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or similar reorganization. In
no event may Executive assign any duties or obligations under this Agreement. It is expressly agreed for purposes of this Agreement that the spouse and children of Executive shall be third-party
beneficiaries of Executive under this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the rights of Executive hereunder in the event of Executive's death or disability. 

8.     CONTROLLING LAW  

        The validity and construction of this Agreement or of any of its provisions shall be determined under the laws of Florida, without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Florida. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not

        (i)    the
Company shall pay to Executive or his beneficiaries, as the case may be, immediately after the Date of Termination an amount which is equal to the Executive's base
salary for twenty-four (24) months; 

        (ii)    the
Company shall pay for the Executive in the event of disability (after termination of the Agreement under this section), medical insurance during the period the
Executive's spouse (and children), or the Executive, as the case may be, is eligible to receive benefits under COBRA; 

        (iii)    the
Company shall fully vest any stock options or restricted stock previously granted to the Executive; and 

        (iv)    the
Executive (or his spouse, in the event of his permanent disability that affects his ability to so elect) shall have the right to require the Company to purchase
from the Executive a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), owned by the Executive or by any entity in which the Executive has an equity or
ownership interest, worth up to $3,000,000. Such Common Stock shall be valued as of the close of business on the day prior to the date the Executive or his spouse delivers a notice to the Company in
writing (a "Put Notice") of his decision to require the Company to purchase such Common Stock. The Executive or his spouse (in the event of his disability) shall have up to 21 days following
the termination of this Agreement to deliver the Put Notice to the Company. Subject to the fifth sentence of this paragraph, within 30 days of receiving the Put Notice, the Company shall pay
Executive or his spouse the proceeds from the purchase of the shares of Common Stock specified in the Put Notice, up to a maximum of $3,000,000. To the extent Glenn M. Parker, M.D. or Lewis Stone
(each, a "Co-Executive") delivers a Put Notice at the same time as Executive, the Company shall have the right to pay the funds due hereunder over two years (in the case of delivery of a
Put Notice by a single Co-Executive), or three years (in the case of delivery of a Put Notice by both Co-Executives), in equal amounts each year pro rata among the Executive
and any Co-Executive based on the number of shares of Common Stock specified in each Put Notice; provided, however, that the
Company shall not have such right to delay the payment of such funds in any succeeding year or years if the Company elects to sell the shares of Common Stock as set forth in the succeeding sentence.
In lieu of a cash payment, the Company shall have the option of causing the shares specified in a Put Notice to be sold, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, pursuant to a registration statement
filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in which the shares shall be included, or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, in either case with the funds being remitted to the Executive on the close of such sale (provided, further, that
(x) the Executive shall receive at least $3,000,000 from such sale and (y) any sale pursuant to a registration statement shall not count as a "Demand Registration" pursuant to that
certain Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, RGGPLS Holding, Inc., a Florida corporation ("RGGPLS"), GRH
Holdings, L.L.C., a Florida limited liability company, and Becton, Dickinson and Company, a New Jersey corporation). The Company agrees and acknowledges that the Executive shall have the right to
require the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock from him hereunder without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 2.4 of the Registration Rights Agreement. 

        (c)    For
purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" means any of the following events: 

        (i)    any
person or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")), other than RGGPLS, a subsidiary
of the Company or any employee benefit plan (or any related trust) of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company,

        (ii)    individuals
who constitute the Board as of the Effective Time (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the members of the Board (except
that any individual who becomes a director after the Effective Time, whose election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a majority of the members of the Incumbent Board shall be considered
as through such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board); or 

        (iii)    approval
by the stockholders of the Company of either of the following: 

        (1)    a
merger, reorganization, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction (any of the foregoing, a "Merger") as a result of which the persons who were the
respective beneficial owners of the outstanding Common Stock immediately before such Merger are not expected to beneficially own, immediately after such Merger, directly or indirectly, more than 50%
of the common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Merger in substantially the same proportions as
immediately before such Merger, or 

        (2)    a
plan of liquidation of the Company or a plan or agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 

        (iv)    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, there shall not be a Change in Control if, in advance of such event, Executive agrees in writing that such event shall not constitute a
Change in Control. 

        (d)    The
Company's obligations under this Section 5 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

6.     ENTIRE AGREEMENT  

        This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersede all other oral and written agreements or understandings between them.
All previous oral or written agreements between the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been completely fulfilled by both parties and shall be superseded by this Agreement. No modification or
addition hereto or waiver or cancellation of any provision shall be valid except by a writing signed by the party to be charged therewith. 

7.     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS  

        This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives. As used
herein, the successors of the Company shall include, but not be limited to, any successor by way of merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or similar reorganization. In
no event may Executive assign any duties or obligations under this Agreement. It is expressly agreed for purposes of this Agreement that the spouse and children of Executive shall be third-party
beneficiaries of Executive under this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the rights of Executive hereunder in the event of Executive's death or disability. 

8.     CONTROLLING LAW  

        The validity and construction of this Agreement or of any of its provisions shall be determined under the laws of Florida, without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Florida. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not
affect or limit the validity and enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

instrument. 

10.   HEADINGS  

        The headings herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and reference, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent
of any provisions thereof. 

11.    INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless from and against all claims,
investigations, actions, awards and judgments, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by Executive in connection with acts or decisions made by Executive in good faith in his capacity as either
a director or as an officer of the Company, so long as Executive reasonably believed that the acts or decisions were in the best interests of the Company. The Company further agrees to retain and pay
the fees and costs of counsel selected by Executive to represent him in any action or proceeding covered by this indemnification. The Company shall not settle any claim or action or pay any award or
judgment against Executive without Executive's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may obtain coverage for Executive under an insurance policy covering the
directors and officers of the Company against claims set forth herein if such coverage is possible at a reasonable cost, provided, however, it is understood and agreed that the Company's obligation to
indemnify Executive as set forth in this Section 11 shall not be affected by the Company's ability or inability to obtain insurance coverage.

Merger dated as of the date hereof (the "Merger Agreement"), among the Company, N Merger L.L.C., a Florida limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and NationsHealth
