 Exhibit 10.3 
  
 AMENDMENT TO CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
  
 This Amendment to Change in Control Severance Agreement (“Amendment”), is made and entered into this the 4th day
of September, 2003, by and between Embrex, Inc. (“Company”), a North Carolina corporation, and Joseph P. O’Dowd (“Employee”). 
  
 WHEREAS the Company and Employee are parties to a Change in Control Severance Agreement dated April 12, 2002, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Severance Agreement”) whereby the Company agrees to provide Employee with certain payments and benefits in the event that Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated as a result of, or in connection with, a
Change in Control; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company and Employee
desire to amend the Severance Agreement; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual agreements herein set forth, the legal sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to amend the Severance Agreement as follows: 
  
 1. The Severance Agreement is amended by adding the following paragraphs:

  
 16. Covenant Not to Compete. Employee
acknowledges that by virtue of his employment with the Company, he shall have access to and control of confidential and proprietary information concerning the Company’s business and that the Company’s business depends, to a considerable
extent, on the individual skills, efforts, and leadership of Employee. Accordingly, and in consideration of the Company’s commitments to Employee under this Agreement, Employee expressly covenants and agrees that for the two (2) year period
following the termination of his employment with the Company (regardless of circumstances of such termination) Employee will not, without the prior consent of the Company: 
  
 (a) on Employee’s own or another’s behalf, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, associate,
owner, employee, consultant, or otherwise, directly or indirectly: 
  

	 	(i)	within the geographical areas set forth below, solicit or do business which is 

 the same, similar to, or otherwise in competition with the business engaged in by the Company from or
with persons or entities who are customers of the Company, who were customers of the Company at any time during the last year of Employee’s employment with the Company or to whom the Company had made proposals for business at any time during
the last year of Employee’s employment with the Company; or 
  

	 	(ii)	offer employment to, or otherwise solicit for employment, any employee or other person who had been employed by the Company during the last year of Employee’s employment with
the Company. 

  
 (b) within the geographical area
set forth below, be employed (or otherwise engaged) in a management capacity, other capacity providing the same or similar services which Employee provided to the Company, or any capacity connected with competitive business activities by any person
or entity that engages in the same, similar, or otherwise competitive business as the Company; 
  
 (c) directly or indirectly take action which is primarily intended to be materially detrimental to the Company’s goodwill, name, business relations,
prospects, and operations. 
  
 (d) the restrictions set forth in
this Paragraph 16 apply to the following geographical areas: 
  

	 	(i)	Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; 

  

	 	(ii)	any city, metropolitan area, county (or similar political subdivisions in foreign countries) in which the Company is located, or does, or during Employee’s employment with the
Company, did business; 

  

	 	(iii)	any city, metropolitan area, county (or similar political subdivisions in foreign countries) in which Employee’s substantial services were provided, or for which Employee had
substantial responsibility, or in which Employee performed substantial work on the Company’s projects while employed by the Company. 

  

 2 

 Employee acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Paragraph 16 are reasonably
necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and are reasonable with respect to scope, time, and territory and are described with sufficient accuracy and definiteness to enable him to understand the scope of the restrictions
imposed upon him. If any of the provisions, clauses, or phrases in this Paragraph 16 are held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the parties desire that any such provision, clause or phrase be “blue-penciled” or
rewritten by the court to the extent necessary to render it enforceable. 
  
 17. Income Tax Payment. In the event Employee receives payments or benefits pursuant to Paragraph 5 of this Agreement and incurs state or federal personal income tax liability as a result of the receipt of such
payments or benefits, then Employee is entitled to receive an additional payment (the “Income Tax Payment”) in an amount equal to the state and federal personal income tax assessed on such payments or benefits. Said Income Tax Payment
shall be made prior to any calculation of the Excise Tax Payment required by Paragraph 9 of this Agreement. Said Income Tax Payment shall be paid to Employee by the Company by April 15 of the year following each year in which such tax liability
occurs. 
  
 2. Except as herein set forth, the Severance Agreement
is not modified or amended and the parties hereto reaffirm and agree to all of the terms and provisions of the Severance Agreement, as amended, in all other respects. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment to Change in Control Severance Agreement as of the day and year
first written above.

 3AGREEMENT DATED AS ON OCTOBER 21,2003

 EXHIBIT 10.16 
  
 AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 21st day of October 2003, by and between GT MERCHANDISING & LICENSING LLC, a limited
liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, located and doing business at 16 East 40th
Street, New York, NY 10016 (“GTM&L”) and NUTRISYSTEM INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, located and doing business at 202 Welsh Road, Horsham, PA 19044 (“NS”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 WHEREAS, NS owns and/or controls all rights to manufacture, distribute
and sell various foods and meal supplement and replacement products under the NutriSystem and NutriSystem Nourish trademarks (the “NutriSystem Products”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, GTM&L is engaged in the creation, development and execution of product marketing strategies, including
the promotion, marketing, sales and distribution of consumer products by various means, including the production and broadcast of television programs designed to promote such products and telemarketing and retail distribution of such products.

  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
and conditions as set forth hereinbelow, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. OWNERSHIP AND GRANT OF RIGHTS. 
  
 1.1 NS has developed and owns or controls all right, title and interest in and to the NutriSystem Products and is the owner of the trademarks and the registrations 

 
and/or applications for registration of the trademarks set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Licensed Trademarks”). The
NutriSystem Products, and all formulations thereof and trade secrets therein, together with any additions and modifications thereto (“NS Assets”) and the Licensed Trademarks shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of NS.

  
 1.2 The “Principal Product Configuration” shall
consist of a mutually agreed-upon configuration of specific individual NutriSystem Products selected by GTM&L, or any approved, reasonably similar variation thereto, in either case subject to NS’s approval. NS shall have the right, at any
time, to require that GTM&L reconfigure the Principal Product Configuration to the extent NutriSystem Products included in the Principal Product Configuration are no longer offered by NS or cannot be obtained by NS. Such right shall not be
unreasonably exercised by NS, and NS will make commercially reasonable efforts to (a) provide GTM&L adequate notice so that GTM&L may change its marketing and operational practices as appropriate and (b) perform its Approved Services (as
defined in Section 2.3 hereinafter) in such a way as to minimize adverse customer impact of any such changes to the Principal Product Configuration. To the extent any customers desire to customize the NutriSystem Products contained in the Principal
Product Configuration (“Customization”), GTM&L shall refer such customers to the URL: www.NutriSystem.com/TV or such other URL mutually agreed upon by the parties, or to NS’s customer service telephone number, where such
customers will be permitted to make reasonable Customizations. For the avoidance of doubt, customers making such Customizations shall be deemed to be Designated Customers. 
  

 - 2 - 

 1.3 If GTM&L desires to sell any Upsells (as hereinafter defined) in connection with the Principal
Product Configuration, GTM&L shall, at its sole expense and with the prior written approval of NS, develop appropriate packaging, which shall incorporate the Licensed Trademarks (“GTM&L Packaging”). Subject to Section 1.9, NS
grants GTM&L a non-exclusive right and license to use the Licensed Trademarks on the GTM&L Packaging in the Territory (as defined below), but only during the Term of the Agreement and subject to the prior written approval of NS. As used
herein, “Upsells” shall mean any additional NutriSystem Products or configurations thereof agreed upon by the parties from time to time for inclusion in this definition. 
  
 1.4 NS grants GTM&L the exclusive (except with respect to NS’s continuing right to have QVC, Inc. (“QVC”)
or another shopping network (“Shopping Network”) promote NS Products via its 24-hour electronic shopping network (“Electronic Shopping”)), non-assignable right to create and broadcast a television commercial of approximately
thirty minutes (“Infomercial”) in the Territory for the promotion and sale of the Principal Product Configuration under the Licensed Trademarks, but only for the Term of the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, NS may not during the Term
broadcast in the Territory a television commercial of duration of five minutes or more for the promotion and sale of NutriSystem Products, nor allow any party other than GTM&L to do so, except via Electronic Shopping. 
  
 1.5 NS grants GTM&L (i) the exclusive right (except for (1) the right of
NS franchisees to sell within their own franchise territories, which territories do not contain more than 3% of the U.S. population and (2) the right of QVC to sell the NS Products pursuant to the QVC Agreement (as defined below)) to sell in the
Territory, either 

  

 - 3 - 

 
individually or collectively, the items constituting the Principal Product Configuration as “As Seen on TV” retail product (“Retail
Products”) via retail outlets (“Retail Channel”) and (ii) the non-exclusive right to market, distribute, and/or sell in the Territory, either individually or collectively, the items constituting the Principal Product Configuration and
Upsells under the Licensed Trademarks via a website (for the purpose of accepting orders from customers responding to marketing efforts permitted hereunder, but not for the purpose of untargeted outbound e-marketing), in-bound and outbound
telemarketing, email to Database Customers (as defined in Section 3.3), and direct mail (“Non-Exclusive Channels of Trade”), and such other channels as NutriSystem may approve at its discretion. As used herein, the Principal Product
Configuration, Upsells and Retail Products shall collectively constitute the “Products”. 
  
 1.6 The ownership of all Licensed Trademarks contained in the Infomercial and the GTM&L Packaging and the advertising materials for the Principal
Product Configuration and Upsells (collectively, the “Materials”), and all rights in the Materials, shall remain vested in NS, and GT will include in the Materials any appropriate trademark notices requested by NS. In the event NS
exercises its option as set forth in Section 7.9 herein, GTM&L will irrevocably assign to NS all right, title and interest in and to the Materials, together with any associated intellectual property rights that GTM&L may have in such
Materials, and GTM&L shall execute and deliver all instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by NS, to effect the foregoing. 
  
 1.7 The parties acknowledge that the Materials are being created for this venture and will incorporate the intellectual
property rights of both parties. Therefore, 
  

 - 4 - 

 
after the Term of this Agreement, including any extension thereof, neither party shall have the right to use the Materials for any purpose whatsoever (other
than NS’s rights under Section 7.9 herein), provided however that NS may continue to use its proprietary intellectual property rights and materials which may have otherwise been embodied in Materials and GTM&L may continue to use any
GTM&L intellectual property components embodied in Materials. 
  
 1.8 The rights granted to GTM&L hereunder may be exercised only throughout North America and the territories, possessions and military installations of the United States (“Territory”). 
  
 1.9 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to Sections
1.4 and 1.5 herein, (a) NS reserves the right to sell the Principal Product Configuration within or outside the Territory (1) itself, subject to Section 12.2 herein, (2) through its franchisees listed on Schedule C attached hereto and made a part
hereof, and (3) through QVC pursuant to the Agreement between NS and QVC dated as of September 6, 2001 (filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as Form 8-K dated as of September 6, 2001) (the “QVC Agreement”), and (b)
GTM&L may not sell the Principal Product Configuration or Upsells to any customer providing to GTM&L a ship-to address in the exclusive franchisee territories listed on Schedule C. For the avoidance of doubt, GTM&L shall have no rights
in connection with this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any configurations of NutriSystem Products or individual NutriSystem Products, except as part of the Products. 
  
 1.10 Any and all rights granted herein to GTM&L regarding the Licensed Trademarks shall be subject to the following
restrictions, covenants and obligations: 
  
 1.10(a) GTM&L
may sublicense the rights granted under this Agreement to third parties only with NS’s approval. 
  

 - 5 - 

 1.10(b) If GTM&L, in the course of exercising its rights hereunder, acquires any goodwill or
reputation in the Licensed Trademarks, all such goodwill or reputation will automatically vest in NS when and as, on an ongoing basis, such acquisition of goodwill or reputation occurs, as well as at the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
without any separate payment or other consideration of any kind to GTM&L, and GTM&L agrees to take such actions with NS’s reasonable prior review and approval, at NS’s expense, to effect such vesting, including without limitation
the transfer to NS of rights in any filings or registrations made under Section 1.10.3. GTM&L shall not use the Licensed Trademarks in connection with any activity intended to disparage NS or that violates any applicable law in the Territory.

  
 1.10(c) Upon NS’s request, GTM&L shall execute and
deliver to NS all instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by NS, so that NS may protect and defend its rights in and to the Licensed Trademarks. 
  
 1.10(d) GTM&L agrees to comply with the high quality standards determined
by NS as set forth in Schedule B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “NS Quality Standards”) and/or subsequently issued by NS, in a reasonable fashion and with appropriate notice, and to cooperate with NS in facilitating NS’s
monitoring and control of the nature and quality of the products and services bearing the Licensed Trademarks in order to enhance the goodwill symbolized by the Licensed Trademarks. If NS determines in good faith that GTM&L’s use of the
Licensed Trademarks is 

  

 - 6 - 

 
inconsistent with the NS Quality Standards and/or good United States and Canadian trademark practices, then upon NS’s written request, GTM&L shall
begin to conform such use to the NS Quality Standards and good United States and Canadian trademark practices as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten business days and shall complete such measures within twenty-one calendar
days (or such other time period as is mutually agreed upon by the parties). If GTM&L fails to suspend or begin to conform such use as soon as reasonably practicable or in any event within five business days, or fails to conform such use within
ten business days (or such other time period as is mutually agreed upon by the parties), NS shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies, have the right to suspend GTM&L’s use of the Licensed Trademarks, as applicable, and such
failure to conform or suspend shall be deemed a material breach by GTM&L hereunder. 
  
 1.11 NS and GTML shall jointly own the list of customers that respond to the Infomercial (the “Infomercial Customer List”). Each party may use the Infomercial Customer List to sell products itself, in
accordance with all applicable laws and such party’s privacy policy, except that during the Term NS may not exploit this right in such a way as to deprive GTM&L of the benefits it might reasonably expect to enjoy pursuant to this Agreement
from sales of the Infomercial Package (whether sales of the Principal Product Configuration or authorized customizations thereto) or Upsells. Neither party shall (a) sell the Infomercial Customer List to any third party or (b) conduct marketing on
behalf of any third party using the Infomercial Customer List, other than GTM&L’s marketing of Upsells in accordance with Section 1.3 (whereupon NS Compensation or Retail Compensation, as defined in Sections 8.4 and 8.5 hereinafter, will be
due in accordance with those Sections 8.4 and 8.5 below). This Section 1.11 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
  

 - 7 - 

 2. OBLIGATIONS OF NS. 
  
 2.1 NS may select and provide to GTM&L a celebrity spokesperson to appear in the Infomercial, subject to the prior
written consent of GTM&L. Should this celebrity be engaged for the Infomercial, NS shall be fully responsible for all fees associated with the appearance of said celebrity and shall fully reimburse GTM&L for any and all union payments
required to be made for the celebrity’s services (such fees and payments, collectively, “Celebrity Costs”), provided that GTM&L shall use commercially reasonable efforts to inform NS in advance of the amount of such Celebrity
Costs and to keep all such Celebrity Costs to a minimum. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1 shall not be construed to make NS liable for Infomercial production costs which would have been incurred if said celebrity were not used by
GTM&L. 
  
 2.2 NS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
manufacture and package the Products in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements of all orders placed on behalf of Designated Customers and by GTM&L and accepted by NS (provided that NS shall not unreasonably decline to accept an order).
NS will use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill all such orders on a timely basis and shall comply with all applicable regulations and guidelines set forth by the FTC pertaining to timely fulfillment of orders, telemarketing scripts and
conduct, and other activities performed hereunder; orders placed on behalf of GTM&L will be fulfilled within 10 days of receipt of such orders. 
  

 - 8 - 

 2.3 NS shall provide to GTM&L “Approved Services” (including manufacturing, inventory
ordering and warehousing, packaging, order taking – subject to Section 3.2 – order processing, invoicing/payment processing, shipping, returns processing, customer counseling and other services to the extent mutually agreed upon by the
parties) in accordance with industry standards, but in no event at a service level lower than (i) the standards required by the FTC or (ii) NS’s standards for serving its own customers. 
  
 2.4 NS shall provide to GTM&L a minimum of thirty (30) NS customers who
have had successful results using the NutriSystem Products, such results to include a minimum loss of 25 pounds, a minimum loss of 10 inches and/or a drop of 2 or more clothing sizes. Such customers must be willing to provide testimonials, releases,
before-and-after photographs and on camera services for broadcast in the Infomercial. 
  
 3. OBLIGATIONS OF GTM&L. 
  
 3.1 GT shall produce at its expense, subject to Section 2.1, the Infomercial featuring the Principal Product Configuration, as more fully set forth in Section 4 hereinbelow, and shall purchase media time and make all arrangements for
broadcast of the Infomercial. The GTM&L personnel creating the Infomercial and having material contact with third parties interested in purchasing the Principal Product Configuration shall have appropriate technical and professional skills to
enable them to perform their duties in a professional manner, consistent with generally accepted industry standards. 
  
 3.2 GTM&L shall operate, directly or indirectly, the call centers handling (i) the initial calls generated by the Infomercial and (ii) outbound
telemarketing to the GTM&L Customer Database (as defined below) and follow-up order acknowledgment related to (i) and (ii)), and shall transmit order information to NS, which will fulfill all such orders accepted by NS. 
  

 - 9 - 

 3.3 GTM&L may, at its discretion, offer the Principal Product Configuration and Upsells via
Non-Exclusive Channels of Trade to its database of current and past customers of GTM&L (“Database Customers”). Orders received as a result of such offers will be transmitted to NS for fulfillment and be separately coded for royalty
calculation purposes. 
  
 3.4 GTM&L may purchase items of the
Principal Product Configuration from NS for fulfillment of orders received by GTM&L in furtherance of its sales in Non-Exclusive Channels of Trade. Such orders shall be placed periodically on a net 30 basis, FOB NS, at NS’s documented cost
of manufacturing, packaging, fulfillment and other actual direct costs. 
  
 4. THE INFOMERCIAL. 
  
 4.1
GTM&L intends to produce and film the Infomercial no later than the latest of (i) two months after the receipt from NS of reasonably sufficient sample quantities of the Principal Product Configuration product; (ii) two months after the receipt
of NS customer testimonials as set forth in Section 2.4 hereof, or (iii) one month and two weeks after the receipt from NS of reasonably sufficient sample quantities of the Principal Product Configuration packaging (“Production Target
Date”), for test airing not more than six weeks after said Production Target Date (“Testing Target Date”) and rollout, if appropriate, as soon as commercially practicable thereafter. The Infomercial may feature a celebrity provided by
NS as the product spokesperson as set forth in Section 2.1 hereinabove, and/or may feature other talent approved by NS, the on-camera services to be arranged by GTM&L. 
  

 - 10 - 

 4.2 NS shall have a right of approval with respect to the format, offer and script for the Infomercial,
and the final offline version of the Infomercial. 
  
 4.3 The
Principal Product Configuration will be offered for sale on a single-sale or continuity basis via the Infomercial (“Infomercial Package”). Customers responding to the Infomercial may be offered Upsells on a single-sale or continuity basis.

  
 4.4 GTM&L may develop a “Vitamin Product” for
use as an Upsell with the prior written approval of NS, under a trademark (other than “Nourish”) to be jointly approved by the parties. In the event such Vitamin Product is developed, it shall be deemed an Upsell for the purposes of this
Agreement, but the Vitamin Product shall be exclusive to the Infomercial and GTM&L Non-Exclusive Channels of Trade and shall be discontinued, and the specific trademark therefor not used by either party, after the termination or expiration of
this Agreement. It is agreed that the Vitamin Product will not be offered for sale within or as a part of the Infomercial, but a free sample may be featured as an incentive for purchase of the Infomercial Package. 
  
 5. NON-INFOMERCIAL SALES. 
  
 5.1 GTM&L may, at its discretion, offer to sell (a) the Principal
Product Configuration or Upsells, but not other NutriSystem Products, in the Non-Exclusive Channels of Trade. 
  

 - 11 - 

 5.2 GTM&L shall develop and implement a marketing strategy for “As Seen on TV” sales of the
Principal Product Configuration. Items of the Principal Product Configuration will be purchased by GTM&L from NS for fulfillment of orders received by GTM&L in accordance with Section 2.2 hereinabove. For the avoidance of doubt, GTM&L
may not sell the Upsells via the Retail Channel. 
  
 5.3
GTM&L’s Non-Exclusive Channels of Trade include the right to create and operate a website (for the purpose of accepting orders from customers responding to marketing efforts permitted hereunder, but not for the purpose of untargeted
outbound e-marketing), under a domain name to be approved in writing by NS, featuring the Principal Product Configuration or Upsells. 
  
 5.4 The Principal Product Configuration as offered in the Non-Exclusive Channels of Trade shall include some or all of the Licensed Trademarks, subject to
the provisions of Section 1.10. 
  
 6. CONSULTATION AND
APPROVALS. 
  
 6.1 The parties shall use their
best efforts to provide approvals in a timely fashion and approvals required hereunder shall not be unreasonably withheld. Submissions shall be deemed approved within seven (7) business days of a request for approval, unless there has been specific
written disapproval. Once an item has been approved under this paragraph, it need not again be submitted for approval for subsequent uses. Submissions shall be made as follows:

 6.2 All rights of consultation provided under the terms of this Agreement shall be exercised in a fair and reasonable
manner. 
  
 7. DURATION, TERMINATION, EXPIRATION:

  
 7.1 The rights granted herein shall commence upon
execution hereof and shall continue through December 31, 2004 (such period, the first “Contract Year”) and any extensions pursuant hereto. 
  
 7.2 In the event that NS has received at least the Auto-Renewal Hurdle for the first Contract Year (as set forth on Schedule D) from GTM&L in NS
Compensation (as defined below) or a combination of NS Compensation and Short Fall Payment (collectively, “Payments”) during the first Contract Year, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for one (1) additional twelve (12) month
period (second Contract Year). In the event said Payments are not more than the Retail Hurdle for the first Contract Year (as set forth on Schedule D), the terms of this Agreement pertaining to Retail Sales shall be modified as indicated in Sections
7.4 and Schedule E. A “Shortfall Payment” shall be a payment made by GTM&L at its discretion in the event that NS Compensation actually earned is less than the amount required for automatic renewal pursuant to this Section 7.2 or
Section 7.3. For the purpose of calculating whether the Payments exceed the Auto-Renewal and Retail Hurdles, no more than 30% of the Payments shall have been from NS Compensation pertaining to sales to Database Customers or from a Shortfall Payment.

  

 - 13 - 

 7.3 In the event that, by the end of the second or any subsequent Contract year, NS has received the
Auto-Renewal Hurdle for the second and subsequent Contract Years (as set forth on Schedule D) in Payments during said Contract Year and the immediately preceding Contract Year, combined, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for one (1)
additional twelve (12) month period. In the event said Payments do not exceed the Retail Hurdle for the second and subsequent Contract Years (as set forth on Schedule D), the terms of this Agreement pertaining to retail sales shall be modified as
indicated in Sections 7.4 and Schedule E. For the purpose of calculating whether the Payments exceed the Auto-Renewal and Retail Hurdles, no more than 30% of the Payments shall have been from NS Compensation pertaining to sales to Database Customers
or from a Shortfall Payment. 
  
 7.4 The “Term” shall
consist of the first and any subsequent Contract Years and, with respect to As Seen on TV Retail Sales, an additional twelve-month period (the “Retail Tail”), except that the Retail Tail will not be added to any Contract Year whose Retail
Hurdle was not achieved. 
  
 7.5 For the avoidance of doubt, the
failure of GTM&L to meet the Production Target Date or the Testing Target Date, or to have made Payments of at least $200,000 by the date seven months after the Testing Target Date, shall be deemed a material breach; a subsequent termination of
this Agreement by NS pursuant to Section 7.7 shall constitute “Early Termination”. In the event of such Early Termination, all rights granted to GTM&L pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately terminate and revert to NS, subject
only to fulfillment of approved orders of Products (and continuity shipments related thereto, if any) and a Sell-Off Period as set forth in Section 7.8. 
  

 - 14 - 

 7.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if GTM&L shall file a petition in
bankruptcy or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if any bankruptcy proceeding or assignment for benefit of creditors shall be commenced against GTM&L and not be discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of its
commencement, then in any of such events, NS, in addition to such other rights or remedies which it may have at law, equity or under this Agreement, may elect to terminate this Agreement forthwith, without prejudice to any rights or claims it may
have, and all rights hereunder shall thereupon terminate, revert to and be vested in NS. 
  
 7.7 Either party may terminate this Agreement for any material breach which remains uncured thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of said material breach. Each party acknowledges the value of the
intellectual property of the other and that misuse thereof would cause the affected party irreparable harm and would constitute a material breach of this Agreement. 
  
 7.8 Following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, GTM&L shall cease airing the Infomercial and cease
advertising the NutriSystem Products. However, GTM&L, subject to the provisions of Section 1.10, shall be entitled to sell-off existing inventories at retail for a period not to exceed six (6) months and NS shall fulfill Upsells and continuity
shipments of the Infomercial Package to Designated Customers for a period of one (1) year (“Sell-Off Period”). Payments required to be made by both parties hereunder shall continue to be paid on a timely basis for all sales made during the
Sell-Off Period. 
  

 - 15 - 

 7.9 Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, and subject to the Sell-Off Period rights, the
rights granted to GTM&L under this Agreement shall terminate and all rights granted to GTM&L with respect to the Infomercial, Licensed Trademarks and NS’s Assets shall revert to NS. The Infomercial shall be destroyed and any materials
proprietary to GTM&L contained therein shall never be used by NS, unless, in the event of an Early Termination, NS, at its option, elects to purchase the Infomercial and all elements thereof from GTM&L, at fifty (50%) percent of
GTM&L’s actual cost, in which instance NS (i) will be obligated to enter into separate agreements with the Infomercial producer and all talent prior to any airing by NS of the Infomercial and (ii) must delete all Infomercial references to
GTM&L. The parties shall cooperate fully with each other in executing documents and taking all such other action as shall be reasonably requested to accomplish and confirm the foregoing. In the event that NS does not purchase the Infomercial, NS
shall not be precluded from (i) creating its own infomercial for any or all of the NutriSystem Products or (ii) using in its infomercial the testimonials featured in GTM&L’s Infomercial, provided however that NS does not use the
copyrightable creative aspects of the Infomercial. 
  
 7.10 If, at
any time during the Term of this Agreement, GTM&L is enjoined from the broadcast of the Infomercial or from otherwise promoting the NS Products as permitted under this Agreement as a result of a claim of infringement based upon a Licensed
Trademark (an “Injunction”), then (1) NS shall reimburse GTM&L for the reasonable costs incurred by GTM&L to avoid violating the Injunction; and (2) the parties shall negotiate in good faith a pro rata reduction to the Auto-Renewal
Hurdle and Retail Hurdle for each Contract Year during any portion of which an Injunction is in force and GTM&L has not yet had sufficient time to, using commercially reasonable efforts, modify the Infomercial or Materials, as applicable, to
avoid violating the Injunction.
