Exhibit 10.32 

Summary of Non-Employee Director
Compensation 

     Ruddick
Corporation (the “Company”) compensates each member of its Board of Directors
(the “Board) who is not an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries.
Effective January 1, 2008, non-employee directors will receive $32,000 per year
for services as a director, plus $2,000 for each Board meeting or committee
meeting attended. In addition to the general fees for directors described above,
the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board is paid an additional annual
fee of $6,000 for services as chairman of that committee. 

     Non-employee directors of the
Company may defer the payment of the annual fee and/or Board meeting fees,
pursuant to the Company’s Director Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”). The
deferred fees are converted into units representing shares of Common Stock of
the Company (the “Common Stock”) with a fair market value equal to the value of
the fees deferred, and the number of units is then credited to the director’s
account, along with additional units representing the amount of any dividends or
stock distributions. Upon termination of service as a director or in the event
of death, the balance of the director’s account will be distributed to the
director or a designated beneficiary in the form of Common Stock. 

     Under the Company’s 1995
Comprehensive Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”), the Company automatically
granted each non-employee director at the time the 1995 Plan was adopted a
ten-year option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the option
grant. Since that time, pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s stock option
plans, the Company has automatically granted a ten-year option to purchase
10,000 shares of Common Stock to each new non-employee director upon his or her
initial election as director. These options are immediately vested, and the
exercise price of these options is equal to the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of the director’s election.

     The Company grants additional equity
awards to its non-employee directors from time to time, at the Board’s
discretion. These equity awards generally have taken the form of stock option
grants and discretionary contributions by the Company to the Deferral Plan for
the benefit of each non-employee director, however, other award types may be
granted in the future at the discretion of the Board. On November 15, 2007, the
Board approved discretionary contributions by the Company to the Deferral Plan
for the benefit of each non-employee director in the amount of $12,000.

     The Company also provides term
life insurance coverage for each non-employee director.Exhibit

DESCRIPTION OF
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR
COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

Overview 

NTIC’s non-employee directors currently
consist of Pierre Chenu, Dr. Sunggyu Lee, Mark M. Mayers, Dr. Ramani Narayan,
Dr. Barry Rosenbaum and Mark J. Stone. We use a combination of cash and
long-term equity-based incentive compensation in the form of annual stock option
grants to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board of
Directors.

In November 2007, the Board of
Directors, upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, approved increases in certain meeting fees, additional Chairman of
the Board and Audit Committee retainers and increased automatic stock option
grants as described in more detail below. With the exception of the increased
automatic stock option grants, which will be effective commencing September 1,
2008, the other non-employee director compensation changes will be effective
commencing January 28, 2008. 

Annual Retainers; Meeting Fees

Each person who was a non-employee
director for all of fiscal 2007 and the Chairman of the Board received an annual
retainer of $10,000 in fiscal 2007 for services rendered as a director of NTIC.
The annual retainer is paid quarterly. Each person who was a non-employee
director for a portion of fiscal 2007 received a prorated portion of such annual
retainer. Each of our non-employee directors also received $1,000 for each Board
meeting attended and $500 for each Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meeting attended. Any director
that is an employee of NTIC (Mr. Lynch and Dr. Kubik) does not receive any
retainer or Board or Committee meeting fees.

Commencing January 28, 2008, the
Chairman of the Board will receive an additional annual retainer of $25,000, the
Chair of the Audit Committee will receive an additional annual retainer of
$5,000 and other members of the Audit Committee will receive an additional
retainer of $4,000. In addition, commencing January 28, 2008, each of our
non-employee directors will receive $1,000 for each strategy review meeting
attended in addition to Board meetings and the fee to be paid for attendance at
each Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee meeting will be increased from $500 to $1,000. No director,
however, will earn more than $1,000 per day in Board, Board committee and
strategy review meeting fees. 

Stock Options 

For the past several years, each of our
non-employee directors have been automatically granted a five-year non-qualified
option to purchase 2,000 shares of our common stock on the first day of each
fiscal year in consideration for their services as directors of NTIC.
Non-employee directors who were elected or appointed to the Board following the
first day of our fiscal year received an automatic grant of an option to
purchase a pro rata portion of 2,000 shares of our common stock calculated by
dividing the number of months remaining in the fiscal year at the time of
election or appointment divided by 12, which options were automatically granted
at the time of their election or appointment. Each automatically granted option becomes exercisable, on a cumulative basis,
with respect to one-third of the shares covered by such option on each one-year
anniversary of the date of its grant. The exercise price of such option is equal
to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of
grant. 

Prior to January 23, 2007, such options
were granted under the terms of the Northern Technologies International
Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. After January 23, 2007 and the adoption
by our stockholders of the Northern Technologies International Corporation 2007
Stock Incentive Plan, such options were granted under the 2007 plan and standing
resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for such automatic
grants.

Commencing on September 1, 2008, each
of our non-employee directors will be automatically granted a five-year
non-qualified option to purchase 4,000 shares of our common stock on the first
day of each fiscal year in consideration for their services as directors of NTIC
and the Chairman of the Board will be automatically granted an additional
five-year non-qualified option to purchase 2,000 shares of our common stock on
the first day of each fiscal year in consideration for his services as Chairman.

Reimbursement of Expenses

All of our directors are reimbursed for
travel expenses for attending meetings and other miscellaneous expenses incurred
in performing their Board functions.
