                                     RETAIL
                           TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT

      This is a TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") between The
Pillsbury Company, a Delaware corporation having a principal place of
business at Number One General Mills Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55426
("TPC") and International Multifoods Corporation, a Delaware corporation
having a principal place of business at 110 Cheshire Lane, Suite 300,
Minnetonka, Minnesota 55305 ("LICENSEE").

                                       I.
                                GRANT OF LICENSE

1.1   SCOPE OF LICENSE. TPC grants LICENSEE an exclusive (except to the degree
      that Schedule 1 specifically states that it is non-exclusive) license to
      use the trademarks listed in Schedule 1 (the "MARKS"), as well as related
      trade dress ("TRADE DRESS") (the MARKS and TRADE DRESS being collectively
      referred to as the "PROPERTY") in connection with the manufacture,
      promotion, marketing, sale and distribution of the products within the
      acquired product categories listed in Schedule 1 (the "PRODUCTS"), in the
      CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION listed in Schedule 1 (the "CHANNELS OF
      DISTRIBUTION"), and in the LICENSED TERRITORY set forth in Schedule 1 (the
      "LICENSED TERRITORY"), under the terms set forth below. Without limiting
      the foregoing, LICENSEE shall be free to determine how the MARKS are
      placed on BRANDED PRODUCTS and used in advertising. When used in reference
      to TPC or its other licensees, "PROPERTY" shall mean the PROPERTY and
      similar or related property. When used in reference to TPC or its other
      licensees, "BRANDED PRODUCTS" shall mean any products manufactured,
      promoted or sold by TPC or its other licensees bearing the PROPERTY. When
      used in reference to LICENSEE or its sublicensees, "BRANDED PRODUCTS"
      shall mean PRODUCTS of LICENSEE or its sublicensees bearing the PROPERTY.

1.2   RESERVATION. It is understood that TPC reserves the right to use itself or
      license to others the right to use the PROPERTY on any products or
      services outside of the CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION, and on any products or
      services other than those specifically defined as PRODUCTS under this
      AGREEMENT. No rights are granted to LICENSEE outside of the LICENSED
      TERRITORY. LICENSEE shall not use any of the MARKS as part of a company
      name, such use of the MARKS being reserved exclusively to TPC.

                                      II.
                                      TERM

2.1   DURATION. Upon execution by both parties, this AGREEMENT shall become
      effective as of the EFFECTIVE DATE indicated on Schedule 1, and shall
      continue for the term set forth on Schedule 1 (the "TERM").

2.2   RENEWAL. This AGREEMENT shall automatically renew for successive twenty
      year terms (each a "RENEWAL TERM") unless LICENSEE gives TPC at least six
      months notice prior to the expiration of the TERM or then current RENEWAL
      TERM.

                                      III.
                                USE OF PROPERTY

3.1   VALIDITY/TITLE. LICENSEE agrees it will not ever challenge the validity of
      the PROPERTY. TPC and LICENSEE agree that they will not, and will cause
      their AFFILIATES not to, ever challenge the validity of this AGREEMENT.
      LICENSEE acknowledges TPC's right and title to the PROPERTY, and shall not
      contest or assist any other person in contesting such right and title.

3.2   LICENSEE'S USE OF THE PROPERTY. LICENSEE will use the PROPERTY only in the
      manner permitted under this AGREEMENT. All uses of the PROPERTY shall
      inure to the benefit of TPC. LICENSEE shall not acquire ownership of the
      PROPERTY by virtue of any use it makes of the PROPERTY. LICENSEE shall not
      attempt to register the PROPERTY alone or as part of its own trademarks,
      nor shall LICENSEE assert ownership of the PROPERTY or attempt to register
      any marks the same as or confusingly similar to the PROPERTY. LICENSEE
      may, at its discretion and to the extent otherwise permitted under
      applicable law, register copyrights that include or are derivative works
      of the PROPERTY, but no such copyright registration shall cause LICENSEE
      to acquire any ownership interest in the PROPERTY.

3.3   TRADEMARK OWNERSHIP NOTICE. LICENSEE agrees to apply the proper notations
      on all PRODUCTS, tags, labels, package inserts, containers, packaging,
      advertising, promotional and display materials or the like containing the
      PROPERTY, as set forth below:

            "[Applicable PROPERTY] is a trademark of The Pillsbury Company, used
            under license."

      LICENSEE shall also mark all packages with LICENSEE's or its
      sublicensee's, as applicable, name and address so as to identify LICENSEE
      or its sublicensee, as applicable, as the supplier of the PRODUCTS. The
      obligations of this Section 3.3 shall not apply to any MARKED INVENTORY
      (as this term is defined in Section 3 of Schedule 1).

                                       2
<Page>

3.4   LICENSEE'S MODIFICATIONS OF MARKS.  LICENSEE shall be free to modify or
      alter the PROPERTY so long as such modification or alteration is
      consistent with Section 4.1 of this AGREEMENT.

3.5   USE OF TPC'S MODIFICATIONS TO THE MARKS. LICENSEE shall have the right,
      but not the obligation, to adopt any changes in the PROPERTY (including
      any such changes that are registered marks or protected under copyright
      laws) made by TPC.

3.6   PREVENTION OF UNAUTHORIZED USE. LICENSEE agrees that it has no right to
      use, and it will not use, the PROPERTY outside of the LICENSED TERRITORY
      or outside of the CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION, and that any such use of the
      PROPERTY would constitute an infringement of TPC's intellectual property
      rights.

3.7   NEW MARKS. If LICENSEE desires to use another mark on or in connection
      with the PRODUCTS, which mark does not include any word or design that is
      common to or confusingly similar to a word or design that comprises an
      element of any MARK, such other mark shall be deemed to be an
      "UNASSOCIATED MARK." LICENSEE has the right, but not the obligation, to
      use UNASSOCIATED MARKS in connection with the PRODUCTS in the LICENSED
      TERRITORY, PROVIDED THAT LICENSEE shall bear all costs and expenses
      associated with the development, use, registration and maintenance of the
      UNASSOCIATED MARK, including, but not limited to, the costs of determining
      availability, protection and any costs and expenses associated with any
      charges of infringement relating to such UNASSOCIATED MARK. All
      UNASSOCIATED MARKS shall, as between the parties hereto, be owned solely
      by LICENSEE and all use shall inure to the benefit of LICENSEE.

                                      IV.
                         GOODWILL AND PROMOTIONAL VALUE

4.1   GOODWILL. LICENSEE recognizes and acknowledges the great value of the
      family image and goodwill associated with the PROPERTY and acknowledges
      that the PROPERTY, and all rights therein and the goodwill pertaining
      thereto, are legally enforceable and belong exclusively to TPC, except as
      conferred by this AGREEMENT. LICENSEE shall take no action, or allow its
      AFFILIATES to take any action, in connection with its use of the MARKS to
      impair or diminish the benefits of the use of the MARKS by TPC, including,
      but not limited to, any action that impairs or diminishes such benefits by
      damaging the PROPERTY or bringing the PROPERTY into disrepute. The parties
      agree that LICENSEE's use of any MARKS in comparative advertising is not
      per se a violation of this Section 4.1.

                                       V.
                              PROPERTY PROTECTION

5.1   COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. In manufacturing, promoting, marketing and selling
      BRANDED PRODUCTS, each party agrees to maintain full compliance with the
      provisions of

                                       3
<Page>

      applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

5.2   TPC'S COVENANT REGARDING USE OF THE MARKS.

            (a) COVENANT. TPC shall take no action, or allow its AFFILIATES to
      take any action, in connection with its use of the MARKS to impair or
      diminish the benefits of the use of the MARKS by LICENSEE, including, but
      not limited to, any action that impairs or diminishes such benefits by
      damaging the PROPERTY or bringing the PROPERTY into disrepute.

            (b) NOTICE PROVISION. If TPC breaches its obligations under the
      preceding paragraph, LICENSEE may impose the Voluntary Restraint (as
      defined herein) specified below by providing to TPC written notice
      ("Notice") that: (i) expressly refers to this notice provision and states
      LICENSEE's intention, within two business days after receipt by TPC of
      Notice, to commence an action, in accordance with Section 10.13 of this
      AGREEMENT, for breach of TPC's obligations under the preceding paragraph
      ("Declaratory Judgment Action") and to file an application for a temporary
      restraining order or other injunctive interlocutory relief
      ("Application"); and (ii) expressly identifies what conduct or anticipated
      conduct of TPC is or will be claimed by LICENSEE to constitute a breach of
      TPC's obligations under the preceding paragraph. The Notice shall be
      provided in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 10.8 of this
      AGREEMENT except that the Notice shall be given only by hand delivery or
      by reputable overnight courier service.

            (c) VOLUNTARY RESTRAINT. Upon receipt of any Notice, TPC shall
      immediately cease and desist (the "Voluntary Restraint") the conduct
      identified in the Notice (the "Identified Conduct") until denial, by any
      court, of any Application related to such Identified Conduct or any other
      decision by the court that the Voluntary Restraint should be lifted (the
      "Voluntary Restraint Period"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
      Voluntary Restraint Period shall end in the event that LICENSEE fails,
      within two business days after the receipt of the Notice by TPC, to file
      the Declaratory Judgment Action and Application in a court of competent
      jurisdiction. The fact that TPC has engaged in the Voluntary Restraint
      prior to the judicial hearing as provided herein shall not constitute an
      admission, nor shall LICENSEE contend, that such fact in any way bears
      upon the appropriateness of the grant of a temporary restraining order or
      temporary injunction.

            (d) CONSENT TO EXPEDITED LITIGATION. In any Declaratory Judgment
      Action brought under this Section 5.2, neither TPC nor LICENSEE shall
      oppose any application by the other party requesting expedited treatment
      of any application for temporary, preliminary or permanent relief.

            (e) ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall
      be construed to limit the rights of either party to obtain judicial review
      of their legal rights or obligations under this AGREEMENT.

            (f) COSTS AND DAMAGES. The prevailing party in each Declaratory
      Judgment Action, upon a final decision of the Declaratory Judgment Action
      by the court, shall have

                                       4
<Page>

      the right to recover from the other party all out-of-pocket costs,
      including reasonable attorneys' fees resulting from such Declaratory
      Judgment Action and any direct damages suffered by such prevailing party.

            (g) THIRD PARTY ARBITRATION. If LICENSEE believes that TPC is in
      breach of the above paragraph (a) of this Section 5.2, LICENSEE shall have
      the right, at its sole discretion, to submit such dispute to arbitration
      in accordance with the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution Rules for
      Non-Administered Arbitration by three arbitrators, of whom each party
      shall appoint one (the third to be chosen in accordance with such rules).
      The arbitrators shall be selected from the CPR/INTA Trademark Panel of
      Neutrals. Except as provided in this Section 5.2, the arbitration shall be
      governed by said rules and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections
      1-16. The place of the arbitration shall be Minneapolis, Minnesota.

            (h) Any monetary award rendered by the Arbitrators against TPC shall
      be limited to direct and actually incurred damages, and shall exclude
      consequential damages and damages for lost profits, resulting from the
      breach of this AGREEMENT. Monetary damages may be awarded if the
      Arbitrators find that TPC has taken any action in connection with its use
      of the MARKS to impair or diminish the benefits of the use of the MARKS by
      LICENSEE, including, but not limited to, any action that impairs or
      diminishes such benefits by damaging the PROPERTY or bringing the PROPERTY
      into disrepute.

            (i) The Arbitrators shall receive an amount pursuant to a fee
      schedule to be agreed upon by TPC, LICENSEE and the Arbitrators for the
      arbitration of any disputes between TPC and LICENSEE with respect to this
      AGREEMENT that the Arbitrators resolve. If the Arbitrators decide in favor
      of LICENSEE, then TPC shall pay the Arbitrators' fees; if the Arbitrators
      decide in favor of TPC, then LICENSEE shall pay the Arbitrators' fees.

            (j) The decision of the Arbitrators shall be final and binding on
      all parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the award shall be subject to
      judicial review to determine if it contains material errors of law, is
      arbitrary or capricious or on any other ground that would be applicable if
      the award were a judgment entered by a federal district court. Judgment
      upon any award rendered by the Arbitrators may be entered by any court
      having jurisdiction thereof. Any party may challenge any decision of the
      Arbitrators, in which case the parties agree to cooperate to expedite
      judicial review of such decision; provided, however, that to the extent
      the final nonappealable judgment of such judicial review does not overrule
      such decision the party challenging the decision shall pay the attorneys'
      fees and other out-of-pocket expenses of the other party.

5.3   EXISTING AND PENDING REGISTRATIONS. TPC shall use reasonable efforts to
      maintain in full force and effect in the LICENSED TERRITORY currently
      existing registrations for the MARKS including, but not limited to,
      renewing existing registrations to the extent reasonably permissible under
      then applicable law. In addition, TPC shall prosecute: (i) all currently
      pending applications for registration in the LICENSED TERRITORY for the
      currently existing MARKS, to the extent reasonably permissible under
      applicable law, and (ii) new applications for registration in the LICENSED
      TERRITORY for the

                                       5
<Page>

      MARKS as reasonably requested by LICENSEE. TPC shall use reasonable
      efforts to maintain any registrations issued pursuant to any such
      applications referred to in (i) and (ii) above. TPC's obligations pursuant
      to the preceding two sentences shall continue as long as this AGREEMENT
      continues in effect except to the extent the parties may mutually agree to
      the contrary or to the extent maintenance of any particular MARK is
      precluded by reason of the lack of use thereof or any other applicable
      law. LICENSEE agrees to provide assistance and documentation as is
      reasonably required by TPC in connection with the foregoing. All of TPC's
      activities under this paragraph in registering and maintaining
      registrations for MARKS shall be at TPC's sole expense, except that the
      cost of any appeals or contested proceedings (E.G., opposition or
      cancellation proceedings) for applications or registrations that primarily
      relate to LICENSEE's BRANDED PRODUCTS, or that TPC reasonably does not
      wish to maintain and LICENSEE does wish to maintain, shall be borne by
      LICENSEE.

5.4   INFRINGEMENT BY THIRD PARTIES. Each party agrees to reasonably assist the
      other in protecting the PROPERTY from infringement by third parties,
      including, but not limited to, reporting to the other party any
      infringement or imitation of the PROPERTY it becomes aware of (PROVIDED,
      HOWEVER, that TPC shall only be obligated to report such infringements or
      imitations to LICENSEE if they relate to PRODUCTS or if TPC intends to
      initiate an action, suit, opposition or other proceeding (collectively, a
      "PROCEEDING") with respect to such matter). Except as otherwise provided
      in this Section 5.4, or unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, the
      prosecution and settlement of any PROCEEDING respecting any infringement,
      dilution, tarnishment, unfair competition or passing off by a third party
      of, or with respect to, any PROPERTY (collectively, an "INFRINGEMENT"),
      including the decision whether to initiate a PROCEEDING, shall be as
      follows:

            (a) Except as set forth otherwise in the Foodservice Trademark
      License Agreement entered into between TPC and LICENSEE on the date hereof
      (and even then only during the term thereof), for any INFRINGEMENT that
      relates to use of PROPERTY in connection with goods or services other than
      PRODUCTS:

                  (1) TPC shall have the sole right to determine whether to
            institute litigation with respect to such INFRINGEMENT, as well as
            the sole right to select counsel. TPC may commence or prosecute any
            such claims or suits in its own name or it may join LICENSEE as a
            party thereto. TPC shall be entitled to keep the entire amount of
            any recovery therefrom. If TPC brings any such INFRINGEMENT action,
            LICENSEE agrees to cooperate with TPC and lend reasonable assistance
            as requested by TPC, subject to being reimbursed for its reasonable
            out-of-pocket expenses incurred at TPC's request.

                  (2) Each party shall promptly (i) notify the other party of
            any material developments with respect to such PROCEEDING, (ii)
            deliver to the other party a copy of all pleadings, correspondence
            and other material documents respecting such PROCEEDING, and (iii)
            notify the other party of any offers of settlement related to such
            PROCEEDING which it receives or which it proposes to make.

                                       6
<Page>

                  (3) TPC shall not offer, or accept any offer of, a settlement
            that contains any material term or condition other than the receipt
            or payment of money by TPC, which settlement would have a materially
            negative effect on the PROPERTY, without the prior written consent
            of LICENSEE, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
            delayed.

            (b)   For any INFRINGEMENT that relates to use of
      PROPERTY in connection with PRODUCTS:

                  (1) LICENSEE shall have the sole right to determine whether to
            institute litigation with respect to such INFRINGEMENT, as well as
            the sole right to select counsel ("TRADEMARK COUNSEL"). LICENSEE may
            commence or prosecute any such claims or suits in its own name or it
            may join TPC as a party thereto. LICENSEE shall be entitled to keep
            the entire amount of any recovery therefrom. If LICENSEE brings any
            such INFRINGEMENT action, TPC agrees to cooperate with LICENSEE and
            lend reasonable assistance as requested by LICENSEE, subject to
            being reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
            at LICENSEE's request.

                  (2) TRADEMARK COUNSEL and each party (unless TRADEMARK COUNSEL
            has already done so) shall promptly (i) notify the other party of
            any material developments with respect to such PROCEEDING, (ii)
            deliver to the other party a copy of all pleadings, correspondence
            and other material documents respecting such PROCEEDING, and (iii)
            notify the other party of any offers of settlement related to such
            PROCEEDING which it receives or which it proposes to make.

                  (3) Neither party shall offer, or accept any offer of, a
            settlement that contains any material term or condition other than
            the receipt or payment of money by such party, which settlement
            would have a materially negative effect on the PROPERTY, without the
            prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
            unreasonably withheld or delayed.

5.5   THIRD PARTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.

            (a) If claims are made against TPC or its AFFILIATES or LICENSEE (or
      its sublicensees) with respect to use of the PROPERTY in connection with
      PRODUCTS ("THIRD-PARTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS"), then TPC and LICENSEE agree
      to consult with each other on a suitable course of action. In no event
      shall either party have the right, without the prior consent of the other
      party, to acknowledge the validity of the THIRD-PARTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM
      or to take any other action which materially impairs the ability of the
      other party to contest the claim of such third party or the rights of the
      other party to use or protect the PROPERTY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that either
      party may obtain or seek a license from such third party so long as such
      license does not acknowledge the validity of the THIRD-PARTY INFRINGEMENT
      CLAIM. Each party

                                       7
<Page>

      shall have the right to participate fully at its own expense in the
      defense of any such THIRD-PARTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM. TPC shall have the
      sole right to handle any claims made against it with respect to use of the
      PROPERTY in connection with TPC's BRANDED PRODUCTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
      that TPC shall not, without the prior consent of LICENSEE, acknowledge the
      validity of any such claim or take any other action if such
      acknowledgement or action materially impairs LICENSEE's rights under this
      AGREEMENT or LICENSEE's rights to use or protect the PROPERTY; PROVIDED,
      HOWEVER, that TPC may obtain or seek a license from such third party so
      long as such license does not acknowledge the validity of the claim.

            (b) LICENSEE agrees to make, within a reasonable timeframe,
      reasonable modifications requested by TPC in LICENSEE's use of the
      PROPERTY if TPC reasonably determines such action is necessary to resolve
      or settle a claim or suit unless such modifications would have a
      materially negative effect on LICENSEE's business.

                                      VI.
                         INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

6.1   SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties of the parties hereto in this
      AGREEMENT shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the delivery
      of all of the documents executed in connection herewith and shall continue
      in full force and effect after the date hereof.

6.2   DEFINED TERMS RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS. For all purposes
      of this AGREEMENT, except as expressly provided or unless the context
      otherwise requires, the following definitions shall apply:

            "AFFILIATE" shall mean, with respect to any PERSON, any PERSON
      directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control
      with, such other PERSON at any time during the period for which the
      determination of affiliation is being made. For purposes of this
      definition, the term "control" (including the correlative meanings of the
      terms "controlled by" and "under common control with"), as used with
      respect to any PERSON, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly,
      of the power to direct or cause the direction of management policies of
      such PERSON, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by
      contract or otherwise.

            "GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY" shall mean any federal, state, political
      subdivision or other governmental agency, court or instrumentality,
      foreign or domestic.

            "PERSON" shall mean an individual, corporation, partnership, limited
      liability company, association, trust or unincorporated organization, a
      government or any agency or political subdivision thereof or any other
      entity or organization.

6.3   INDEMNIFICATION BY TPC. From and after the EFFECTIVE DATE, subject to the
      provisions of this Article VI, TPC shall indemnify LICENSEE, its
      AFFILIATES and each of their respective officers, directors, employees,
      agents and representatives against

                                       8
<Page>

      and hold them harmless from any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or
      expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of lawyers, accountants,
      investigators, experts and other professionals) (collectively, a "LOSS")
      suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party to the extent arising
      out of the manufacture, distribution, use, sale or marketing of TPC's (or
      its other licensees') BRANDED PRODUCTS, including any unauthorized use of
      any patent, process, idea, method or device, or unfair trade practice,
      false advertising, trademark infringement, or the like.

6.4   INDEMNIFICATION BY LICENSEE. From and after the EFFECTIVE DATE, subject to
      the provisions of this Article VI, LICENSEE shall indemnify TPC, its
      AFFILIATES and each of their respective officers, directors, employees,
      agents and representatives against and hold them harmless from any LOSS
      suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party to the extent arising
      out of the manufacture, distribution, use, sale or marketing of LICENSEE's
      (or its other licensees') BRANDED PRODUCTS, including (except as set forth
      below) any unauthorized use of any patent, process, idea, method or
      device, or unfair trade practice, false advertising, trademark
      infringement, or the like, but excluding items for which LICENSEE has a
      claim for indemnification under that certain Amended and Restated Asset
      Purchase Agreement among TPC, LICENSEE and General Mills, Inc., a Delaware
      corporation ("GMI"), dated October 24, 2001 (as it may be amended from
      time to time, the "ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT").

6.5   PROCEDURES RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION.

            (a) In order for an indemnified party to be entitled to any
      indemnification provided for under this Article VI in respect of, arising
      out of or involving a claim or demand made by any person, firm,
      GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY or corporation against the indemnified party (a
      "THIRD-PARTY CLAIM"), such indemnified party must notify the indemnifying
      party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the THIRD-PARTY CLAIM as
      promptly as reasonably possible after receipt by such indemnified party of
      written notice of the THIRD-PARTY CLAIM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that failure
      to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided
      hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been
      actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the
      indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, within five (5)
      business days after the indemnified party's receipt thereof, copies of all
      notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified
      party relating to the THIRD-PARTY CLAIM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that failure
      to make such deliveries shall not affect the indemnification provided
      hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been
      actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

            (b) If a THIRD-PARTY CLAIM is made against an indemnified party, the
      indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof
      and, if it so elects in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of written
      notice from the indemnified party and acknowledges its obligation to
      indemnify the indemnified party therefor, to assume the defense thereof
      with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably
      satisfactory to the indemnified party, PROVIDED that the indemnifying
      party conducts the defense actively and diligently thereafter. Should the
      indemnifying party so elect to

                                       9
<Page>

      assume the defense of a THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, the indemnifying party will not
      be liable to the indemnified party for legal expenses subsequently
      incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof,
      absent any conflict of interest between such parties. If the indemnifying
      party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to
      participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own
      expense, unless a conflict of interest would arise if counsel to the
      indemnifying party also represented the indemnified party, separate from
      the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that
      the indemnifying party shall control such defense, except to the extent of
      any such conflict of interest between such parties. The indemnifying party
      shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the
      indemnified party for any period during which the indemnifying party has
      not assumed the defense thereof or in the event of any conflict of
      interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party. All the
      parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any
      THIRD-PARTY CLAIM. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon
      the other party's request) the provision to the other party of records and
      information that are reasonably relevant to such THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, and
      making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
      additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder,
      at the reasonable expense of the indemnifying party. Whether or not the
      indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of a THIRD-PARTY CLAIM,
      the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or
      settle, compromise or discharge, such THIRD-PARTY CLAIM without the
      indemnifying party's prior written consent (which consent shall not be
      unreasonably withheld). The indemnifying party shall not, without the
      prior written consent of the indemnified party, enter into any settlement
      of any THIRD-PARTY CLAIM that would result in the imposition of a consent
      order, injunction or decree which would materially restrict or otherwise
      materially adversely affect the future activity or conduct of the
      indemnified party or any AFFILIATE thereof, or without the prior written
      consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld) that does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the
      release of the indemnified party from all liability in respect of such
      THIRD-PARTY CLAIM except the liability satisfied by the indemnifying
      party.

6.6   REPRESENTATION BY TPC. Except as set forth in the ASSET PURCHASE
      AGREEMENT, the PROPERTY is being licensed on an AS IS basis and TPC makes
      no warranties or representations of any kind. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
      EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED BY TPC, INCLUDING
      ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
      NON-INFRINGEMENT AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE
      OF TRADE. NO AGENT, EMPLOYEE OR REPRESENTATIVE OF TPC HAS ANY AUTHORITY TO
      BIND TPC TO ANY AFFIRMATION, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY EXCEPT AS STATED
      IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

6.7   INSURANCE. LICENSEE shall acquire and maintain at its sole cost and
      expense throughout the Term and any Renewal Term of this AGREEMENT
      comprehensive general liability insurance, including product liability,
      advertisers liability, and contractual liability,

                                       10
<Page>

      (hereinafter referred to as "LIABILITY INSURANCE"), underwritten by a
      financially sound and reputable insurance company qualified to do business
      in the LICENSED TERRITORY. This insurance coverage shall provide
      protection of not less than $10 million, combined single limit for
      personal injury and property damage (on a per occurrence basis) with TPC
      named as an additional insured party and shall provide adequate protection
      for LICENSEE and TPC against any and all claims, demands, causes of action
      or damages, including attorneys' fees, arising out of this AGREEMENT,
      including but not limited to any alleged defects in the BRANDED PRODUCTS
      of LICENSEE or its other licensees or any use thereof. Such LIABILITY
      INSURANCE shall be maintained on an occurrence basis to provide such
      protection after expiration or termination of the policy itself and/or of
      this AGREEMENT. The parties acknowledge that such insurance need not
      include product recall coverage.

6.8   CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE. LICENSEE shall furnish to the AUDITOR (as
      defined below) certificates issued by the insurance company setting forth
      the amount of LIABILITY INSURANCE, the policy number, the date of
      expiration, and a provision that TPC shall receive thirty (30) days'
      written notice prior to termination, reduction or modification of the
      coverage. LICENSEE's purchase and maintenance of the LIABILITY INSURANCE
      or furnishing of the certificate of insurance shall not relieve LICENSEE
      of any of its obligations or liabilities under this AGREEMENT.

                                      VII.
                             QUALITY CONTROL/RECALL

7.1   AUDITING. In order to assure LICENSEE's compliance with its obligations
      under this AGREEMENT and to assure the adequate protection of the great
      value of the goodwill associated with the PROPERTY, LICENSEE agrees to
      hire an independent third party auditor certified by the American
      Institute of Baking (the "AUDITOR") to assess annually LICENSEE's
      compliance with its obligations under this Article VII. TPC shall pay the
      reasonable and customary fees of the AUDITOR. If the AUDITOR discovers any
      noncompliance with such obligations, the AUDITOR shall provide specific
      notice of the deficiency to LICENSEE, and LICENSEE shall promptly take the
      necessary steps to come into compliance. This paragraph shall not require
      either the AUDITOR or LICENSEE to communicate with TPC regarding the
      results of any assessment of LICENSEE's compliance with this AGREEMENT.

7.2   QUALITY STANDARDS. LICENSEE covenants that the BRANDED PRODUCTS that it
      sells (and that any of its sublicensees sell) shall meet or exceed all
      government standards, regulations, guidelines, manufacturing codes, rules,
      laws or the like dealing with or applicable to the BRANDED PRODUCTS.
      Without limiting the foregoing, LICENSEE agrees that all of its activities
      (and the activities of its sublicensees) in relation to BRANDED PRODUCTS
      shall comply with the "good manufacturing practices" regulations
      established by the federal Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). LICENSEE
      agrees to maintain the HACCP (Hazards And Critical Control Points) program
      currently in place at GMI's Toledo plant (which plant is being turned over
      to LICENSEE pursuant to other agreements between the parties) or some
      other comparable

                                       11
<Page>

      voluntary quality assurance program designed to maintain a quality
      assurance standard appropriate to protect the valuable goodwill associated
      with the PROPERTY, and which quality assurance program LICENSEE may review
      and update from time to time as is appropriate to maintain a quality
      assurance standard appropriate to protect the valuable goodwill associated
      with the PROPERTY. LICENSEE shall establish, and cause its sublicensees to
      establish, a quality assurance plan (including HACCP programs similar to
      the one currently in place at GMI's Toledo plant or some other comparable
      voluntary quality assurance plan) for all facilities at which BRANDED
      PRODUCTS are produced, which quality assurance plan shall be used to
      assure the compliance with these quality standards and to assure
      consistent quality of the BRANDED PRODUCTS. The plan shall include a
      description of the quality controls observed in the BRANDED PRODUCTS'
      manufacture, and the procedures followed to audit and verify continued
      quality and conformance to specifications for the BRANDED PRODUCTS, as
      well as applicable laws and regulations. In addition, with respect to each
      sublicensee of LICENSEE (1) LICENSEE shall regularly inspect (either
      directly or through qualified third parties) the activities of such
      sublicensee with respect to the sublicensee's compliance with the terms of
      its sublicense agreement and the quality assurance plan established for
      the sublicensee's manufacture of BRANDED PRODUCTS; (2) prior to the
      introduction by such sublicensee of any new product covered by the
      sublicense with LICENSEE, LICENSEE shall require the sublicensee to submit
      to LICENSEE samples or prototypes of that product, along with proposed
      packaging and advertising materials for that product, and LICENSEE (either
      directly or through qualified third parties) shall inspect the safety of
      the proposed product and review whether the product and the packaging and
      advertising are of a nature and quality that is consistent with the
      goodwill associated with the PROPERTY; and (3) with respect to any
      sublicensee authorized to manufacture any non-food items (as to which
      HACCP, good manufacturing practices and similar governmental standards may
      not be applicable), LICENSEE shall review the sublicensee's quality
      assurance plan and LICENSEE shall monitor the sublicensee's activities in
      a manner appropriate for the protection of the valuable goodwill
      associated with the PROPERTY.

7.3   CONSUMER INQUIRIES. As between LICENSEE and TPC, LICENSEE will, at its
      sole cost, handle all product warranty and/or guarantee/satisfaction
      issues, response and compliance requirements, as well as all consumer
      inquiries or complaints (collectively, the "CONSUMER INQUIRIES") relative
      to any of the BRANDED PRODUCTS that it or its sublicensees sell. Such
      CONSUMER INQUIRIES shall be handled in a competent, professional manner so
      as to maintain the great value of the goodwill associated with the
      PROPERTY. The parties agree to cooperate to establish suitable procedures
      and systems for forwarding to each other all CONSUMER INQUIRIES that
      either party receives relating to the other party's business.

7.4   PRODUCT RECALL. LICENSEE shall make reasonable efforts to give TPC advance
      notice of any product recall or withdrawal with respect to its BRANDED
      PRODUCTS in order to permit TPC to prepare for dealing with the attendant
      public relations and investors relations issues. TPC shall make reasonable
      efforts to give LICENSEE advance notice of any product recall or
      withdrawal with respect to its BRANDED PRODUCTS in order to

                                       12
<Page>

      permit LICENSEE to prepare for dealing with the attendant public relations
      and investors relations issues. As between LICENSEE and TPC, each party
      shall bear any and all costs related to any recall or withdrawal of its
      (and its other licensees') BRANDED PRODUCTS, whether voluntary or
      otherwise. Each party shall implement and maintain, and in all future
      license/sublicense agreements for food products shall cause its
      licensees/sublicensees to implement and maintain, a comprehensive lot
      tracking program with respect to all BRANDED PRODUCTS, starting with raw
      materials and carrying through to final retail distribution, to maximize
      the effectiveness and minimize the extent of any recall or withdrawal.

7.5   CHILD/PRISON LABOR. LICENSEE and TPC agree not to use CHILD labor in the
      manufacturing, packaging or distribution of BRANDED PRODUCTS. The term
      "CHILD" refers to a person younger than the local legal minimum age for
      employment or the age for compelling compulsory education, but in no case
      shall be any child younger than 15 years of age (or 14 years of age where
      local law allows). Each party agrees not to use any forced or involuntary
      labor, whether prison, bonded, indentured or otherwise. In all future
      license/sublicense agreements involving BRANDED PRODUCTS, each party shall
      cause its licensees/sublicensees to abide by all of the foregoing
      restrictions.

                                     VIII.
                                   ASSIGNMENT

8.1   This AGREEMENT may be assigned, transferred or otherwise delegated
      (collectively, an "ASSIGNMENT") by LICENSEE without the prior written
      consent of TPC to an AFFILIATE of LICENSEE, to a party who purchases or
      acquires, as a going concern, the business of LICENSEE in which any of the
      PROPERTY is used (on all or a portion of the PRODUCTS) and/or to any
      lenders providing financing to LICENSEE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that prior to
      an ASSIGNMENT (which for purposes of this proviso only shall not include
      any pledge of this AGREEMENT to a lender providing financing to LICENSEE
      until such time as the lender exercises it rights under applicable pledge
      agreements, security agreements or other collateral documents) any
      proposed assignee of this AGREEMENT must agree in writing, delivered to
      TPC, that it shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this AGREEMENT.

8.2   This AGREEMENT may be assigned, transferred, sublicensed or otherwise
      delegated by TPC without the prior written consent of LICENSEE, PROVIDED,
      HOWEVER, that any assignee of this AGREEMENT must agree in writing,
      delivered to LICENSEE, that it shall be bound by the terms and provisions
      of this AGREEMENT.

8.3   This AGREEMENT and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and
      inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and
      their respective successors and permitted assigns.

8.4   This AGREEMENT may be sublicensed, in whole or in part, by LICENSEE,
      without the prior written consent of TPC, PROVIDED THAT LICENSEE gives
      prompt written notice to TPC of any sublicense.

                                       13
<Page>

8.5   Any attempted assignment or delegation in contravention hereof shall be
      null and void.

                                      IX.
                           BREACH, CURE AND REMEDIES

9.1   BREACH AND CURE.  If a party materially violates any of the terms or
      conditions of this AGREEMENT, the other party may send written notice
      to the breaching party, particularly specifying the breach.  The
      breaching party shall have thirty (30) days to cure the specified
      breach. If the breaching party does not cure the breach within such
      period of time, then the non-breaching party may pursue such remedies
      as may be available to it under applicable law, including but not
      limited to both equitable and damages remedies, but excluding
      termination of this AGREEMENT.  In the event that one party claims that
      the other party is materially violating any of the terms or conditions
      of this Agreement and such other party disputes such claim, the party
      claiming that the other party is in breach may seek to resolve such
      dispute either (A) pursuant to the third party arbitration provisions
      set forth in Sections 5.2(g) through 5.2(j), in which event such
      provisions shall apply to such dispute or (B) in a court of competent
      jurisdiction pursuant to Section 10.13. In formulating appropriate
      remedies commensurate with the nature and extent of any such uncured
      breach, the arbitrator or the court shall take into account, in
      addition to all other pertinent factors, each party's inability to
      terminate this AGREEMENT for breach. The parties also agree that,
      subject to its equitable powers to decide otherwise, the arbitrator or
      the court shall award to the prevailing party in any litigation under
      this section the prevailing party's costs and reasonable attorneys'
      fees in pursuing the matter. Either party's failure to send a notice of
      breach or to pursue legal remedies available to it shall not constitute
      or be construed as a waiver or acquiescence, and each party expressly
      reserves the right to subsequently pursue such remedies for the same or
      any other breach, either of the same or different character. The
      provisions in this Section 9.l are in addition to the provisions in
      Section 5.2.

9.2   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS
      AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR THE REJECTION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN BANKRUPTCY (OR
      SIMILAR INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING), NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
      PARTY FOR LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE OR ANY OTHER FORM OF INDIRECT,
      INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF THAT PARTY
      HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

                                       X.
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

10.1  CONFIDENTIALITY. Without the prior written approval of the non-disclosing
      party, neither party shall disclose, use or otherwise communicate to any
      third party any information regarding either the terms and provisions of
      this AGREEMENT or any other confidential materials, trade secrets and/or
      proprietary information delivered pursuant to the terms and provisions of
      this AGREEMENT except: (i) to the extent necessary to comply with a

                                       14
<Page>

      specific applicable law, regulatory oversight (such as the Federal Trade
      Commission or its agents or the Securities and Exchange Commission) or the
      valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction, PROVIDED THAT the party
      making the disclosure or communication shall notify the other party in
      writing and shall seek confidential and proprietary treatment of the
      information; (ii) as part of normal reporting or review procedure to
      either party's board of directors, parent company, auditors and attorneys,
      PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such persons or entities agree to be bound by the
      provisions of this Paragraph; (iii) to enforce its rights legally under
      this AGREEMENT in a court of competent jurisdiction, PROVIDED THAT the
      party making the disclosure or communication shall notify the other party
      in writing and shall seek confidential and proprietary treatment of the
      information; (iv) with respect solely to disclosing this AGREEMENT to a
      potential sublicensee in connection with any sublicenses or proposed
      sublicenses, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such persons or entities agree to be
      bound by the provisions of this Paragraph; (v) with respect solely to
      disclosing this AGREEMENT to potential purchasers in connection with the
      sale of all or part of the applicable business of a party, PROVIDED,
      HOWEVER, that such persons or entities agree to be bound by the provisions
      of this Paragraph; (vi) with respect solely to disclosing this AGREEMENT
      with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (or any similar
      office), provided that the party making the disclosure or communication
      shall notify the other party in writing and shall seek confidential and
      proprietary treatment of the information; or (vii) such information is or
      becomes part of the public domain through disclosure other than by the
      disclosing party. For purposes of this Section 10.1, "confidential
      materials, trade secrets and/or proprietary information" shall mean all
      information that is not publicly known.

10.2  RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. Nothing in this AGREEMENT shall be construed
      to create or constitute a partnership, joint venture, or any other agency
      or employment relationship between the parties hereto. Neither party is
      authorized to enter into any agreement on behalf of, assume any obligation
      for, or otherwise bind the other party financially or otherwise; nor is
      either party responsible for the obligations of the other party, including
      but not limited to obligations to the other's own employees, their
      wage/salaries, benefits, vacation pay, and the like.

10.3  FORCE MAJEURE. In the event that either party hereto shall be prevented
      from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of strikes,
      lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of
      power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection,
      war, acts of God, force of nature, or other reasons of a like nature not
      the fault of, or under the control of, the party delayed in performing
      work or doing acts required under the terms of this AGREEMENT, then
      performance of such act shall be excused for the periods of the delay and
      the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a
      period equivalent to the period of such delay, PROVIDED THAT the party
      delayed in performing promptly gives written notice to the other party of
      its ability to perform.

10.4  NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Except for PERSONS entitled to
      indemnification under Article VI hereof, this AGREEMENT is for the sole
      benefit of the parties hereto, and

                                       15
<Page>

      nothing herein express or implied shall give or be construed to give to
      any PERSON or entity, other than the parties hereto, any legal or
      equitable rights hereunder.

10.5  AMENDMENTS. No amendment to this AGREEMENT shall be effective unless in
      writing and signed by each party hereto.

10.6  WAIVER OF COMPLIANCE. Except as otherwise provided in this AGREEMENT, any
      failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant,
      agreement or condition herein may be waived by the party entitled to the
      benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party,
      granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict
      compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall
      not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or
      other failure. Any consent given by any party pursuant to this AGREEMENT
      shall be valid only if contained in a written consent signed by such
      party. The parties acknowledge that certain Contracts (as defined in the
      Asset Purchase Agreement) may include existing licenses of intellectual
      property. To the extent such Contracts are assigned to LICENSEE, LICENSEE
      shall enforce such Contracts in accordance with their terms and, to the
      extent such Contracts permit, in accordance with the terms of this
      Agreement. So long as LICENSEE is in compliance with the foregoing, TPC
      acknowledges that TPC's claims against LICENSEE for damages or
      indemnification arising from the acts or omissions of the sublicensees
      under such Contracts shall be limited to the rights of recovery of
      LICENSEE under such Contracts or applicable law.

10.7  COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN PARTIES. All communications between the parties
      relating to any disputes under this AGREEMENT shall be through and to
      in-house and/or outside counsel only and such counsel shall only disclose
      such communications to the parties to the extent permissible under
      applicable antitrust laws.

10.8  NOTICES. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be
      given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent

10.9  INTERPRETATION. The headings contained in this AGREEMENT, in any Schedule
      hereto and in the table of contents to this AGREEMENT, are for reference
      purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
      interpretation of this AGREEMENT. The terms defined in the singular shall
      have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. This
      AGREEMENT shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule
      requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or
      causing any instrument to be drafted. When a reference is made in this
      AGREEMENT to sections or schedules, such reference shall be to a section
      of or schedule to this AGREEMENT unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the
      words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this AGREEMENT,
      they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation". The
      phrases "the date of this AGREEMENT," "the date hereof" and terms of
      similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to
      refer to the date set forth in the first paragraph of Schedule 1 to this
      AGREEMENT. The words "hereof," "hereby," "herein," "hereunder" and similar
      terms in this AGREEMENT shall refer to this AGREEMENT as a whole and not
      to any particular Section or Article in which such words appear. All
      references to dollar amounts shall be deemed to be references to U.S.
      Dollars.

10.10 COUNTERPARTS. This AGREEMENT and any amendments hereto may be executed by
      facsimile and in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be
      considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one
      or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and
      delivered to the other party.

10.11 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this AGREEMENT or the application of any
      such provision to any PERSON or circumstance shall be held invalid,
      illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent
      jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
      affect any other provision hereof.

10.12 GOVERNING LAW. This AGREEMENT shall be governed by and construed in
      accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota applicable to
      agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State, without
      regard to the choice of law principles of such State.

10.13 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. TPC and LICENSEE hereby irrevocably consent to
      the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Courts of the State of
      Minnesota and the United States District Court for the District of
      Minnesota, in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or
      relating to this AGREEMENT or the transactions

      contemplated hereby. THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL
      BY JURY.

10.14 SCHEDULES. All Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby
      incorporated in and made a part of this AGREEMENT as if set forth in full
      herein.

10.15 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. LICENSEE and TPC hereby acknowledge, recognize and
      agree that irreparable injury may result to the non-breaching party and
      its business if the other party breaches any provision of this AGREEMENT
      such that money damages alone would not be sufficient remedy for any such
      breach. Each party hereto therefore agrees that if it should engage, or
      cause or permit any other PERSON to engage, in any act in violation of any
      provision hereof, the other party or parties shall be entitled, in
      addition to such other remedies, damages and relief as may be available
      under this AGREEMENT or applicable law, to an injunction prohibiting the
      breaching party from engaging in any such act or specifically enforcing
      this AGREEMENT, as the case may be.

10.16 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except to the extent otherwise contemplated herein, this
      AGREEMENT, together with the ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (and any Collateral
      Agreements, as that term is defined in the ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT),
      contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto
      with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except to the extent
      specifically set forth herein, supersedes all prior agreements and
      understandings relating to such subject matter.

10.17 GUARANTY. GMI has made a Guaranty, dated as of the date hereof, with
      respect to TPC's obligations hereunder, for the benefit of LICENSEE.

       herein shall survive a bankruptcy insolvency, or reorganization
       pursuant to applicable bankruptcy laws or any change of control of TPC
       or GMI.

                       RETAIL TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT

                                   SCHEDULE 3

                            BAKE-OFF PROMOTION TERMS

1.    BAKE-OFF PROMOTION

      LICENSEE may participate in any promotional event executed by TPC using
      the term BAKE-OFF and the Pillsbury trademark involving a recipe contest
      using a given set of TPC products (the "Promotion"), subject to the terms
      and conditions set forth in this Schedule 3 and consistent with the terms
      and conditions of this AGREEMENT. For purposes of this Schedule 3,
      references to LICENSEE shall be deemed to include LICENSEE's AFFILIATES.

2.    PARTICIPATION IN THE PROMOTION

      TPC shall provide written notice to LICENSEE of its intention to execute
      each Promotion, together with a detailed description of all material
      aspects of such Promotion and statement of the cost to LICENSEE for each
      LICENSEE PRODUCT incorporated into such Promotion. Cost shall be allocated
      (the "ALLOCATED COST") based upon the relative number of TPC and LICENSEE
      PRODUCTS incorporated into such Promotion to the extent that LICENSEE
      elects to participate and TPC shall provide a good-faith estimate (the
      "COSTS ESTIMATE") of the timing and amount of such costs. LICENSEE shall
      have thirty (30) days to provide TPC, in writing, notice of its decision
      to participate in such Promotion, together with a listing of the LICENSEE
      PRODUCTS to be included in the Promotion and a check payable to TPC in the
      amount required by the TPC notice. In connection with the foregoing
      sentence, LICENSEE shall only be required to pay TPC in the amounts and at
      the times consistent with the COSTS ESTIMATE. TPC and LICENSEE shall act
      promptly and in good faith to "true-up" such amounts, so that, to the
      extent LICENSEE pays TPC more than the ALLOCATED COST, TPC will pay
      LICENSEE the amount of any such excess and to the extent LICENSEE pays TPC
      less than the ALLOCATED COST, LICENSEE will pay TPC the amount of any such
      deficit. The number of LICENSEE PRODUCTS listed shall not exceed a number
      which is generally consistent with the average number of such LICENSEE
      PRODUCTS included in Promotions in the last five (5) years when such
      products were part of the TPC portfolio of PRODUCTS. TPC shall be
      responsible for development and distribution of all consumer materials in
      connection with the Promotion, which materials shall (a) incorporate the
      LICENSEE PRODUCTS identified in the LICENSEE notice of participation and
      shall do so in a manner consistent with such LICENSEE PRODUCTS'
      incorporation into such materials when they were part of the TPC portfolio
      of PRODUCTS and (b) be subject to the prior consent of LICENSEE (which
      consent is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent such
      materials relate to the LICENSEE PRODUCTS. The consumer materials shall
      comply in all respects with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT.
      All consumer entries relating to the LICENSEE PRODUCTS shall be forwarded
      to LICENSEE for handling and response consistent with the Promotion rules
      provided to the consumer.

                                       30
<Page>

3.    TRADE MATERIALS

      Each party will develop, at its own expense, its trade materials used in
      connection with each Promotion. LICENSEE shall send its trade materials
      directly to retailers, as appropriate, without prior review by TPC, but
      such trade materials shall comply in all respects with the terms and
      conditions of this AGREEMENT.

4.    COVENANTS AND USE OF TRADEMARKS

      For purposes of LICENSEE's participation in each Promotion, the BAKE-OFF
      trademark (including all logos or stylized versions) shall be included in
      the PROPERTY licensed to LICENSEE under this AGREEMENT. For purposes of
      being included in each Promotion, LICENSEE grants to TPC a royalty-free,
      non-exclusive license to use and display such marks of LICENSEE as
      LICENSEE may designate, such use to be limited solely to the Promotion
      contemplated hereby and any advertising or other promotional activities
      relating thereto and shall comply in all respects with the terms and
      conditions of this AGREEMENT. The parties acknowledge that every use of
      the other party's trademarks shall inure to the benefit of the other party
      and that the provisions of this paragraph do not convey to a party any
      right, title or ownership interest in the other party's trademarks.

5.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      Each party represents and warrants that its products, services and
      performance in connection with each Promotion shall comply with all
      applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

6.    All activities of the parties in connection with each Promotion shall be
      governed by the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, including the
      handling of consumer inquiries and complaints and the parties' respective
      obligations of indemnification.

the responsibility for administering the Plan with respect to designated classes of eligible persons to different committees consisting of one or more members of the Board, subject to such limitations
as the Board deems appropriate. Committee members shall serve for such term as the Board may determine, subject to removal by the Board at any time.

conditions, restrictions and limitations, if any, of an Award and the terms of any instrument that evidences the Award. The Plan Administrator shall also have exclusive authority to interpret the Plan
and the terms of any instrument evidencing the Award and may from time to time adopt and change rules and regulations of general application for the Plan's administration. The Plan Administrator's
interpretation of the Plan and its rules and regulations, and all actions taken and determinations made by the Plan Administrator pursuant to the Plan, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties
involved or affected. The Plan Administrator may delegate administrative duties to such of the Company's officers as it so determines.

shares plus; 

    (b) any
authorized shares (i) not issued or subject to outstanding options under the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Prior Plan") as of the date the Board
approves the Plan and (ii) any shares subject to outstanding options under the Prior Plan on such date that cease to be subject to such options (other than by reason of exercise of the options
to the extent they are exercised for shares), up to an aggregate maximum of 50,000 shares, which shares shall cease, as of such date, to be available for grant and issuance under the Prior Plan, but
shall be available for issuance under the Plan. 

    Shares
issued under the Plan shall be drawn from authorized and unissued shares or shares now held or subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares. 

4.2 Reuse of Shares

Award to the extent it is exercised for or settled in shares) shall again be available for issuance in connection with future grants of Awards under the Plan. In the event shares issued under the Plan
are reacquired by the Company pursuant to any forfeiture provision or right of repurchase, such shares shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan; provided, however, that the maximum number
of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall equal the share number stated in Section 4.1, subject to adjustment

from time to time as provided in Section 12.1; and provided, further, that for purposes of Section 4.3, any such shares shall be counted in accordance with the requirements of
Section 162(m) of the Code. 

4.3 Limitations  

    (a) Subject
to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 12.1, not more than an aggregate of 27,000 shares shall be available for issurance pursuant to
grants of Stock Awards under the Plan. 

    (b) Subject
to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 12.1, not more than 27,000 shares of Common Stock may be made subject to Awards under the Plan
to any individual in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company, except that the Company may make one-time grants of up to 54,000 shares to newly hired or newly promoted
individuals, such limitations to be applied in a manner
consistant with the requirements of, and only to the extent required for compliance with, the exclusion from the limitation on deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. 

SECTION 5. ELIGIBILITY  

    An Award may be granted to any officer, director or employee of the Company or a Related Company that the Plan Administrator from time to time selects. An
Award may also be granted to any consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor who provides services to the Company or any Related Company, so long as such Participant (a) is a natural
person or an alter ego entity of the natural person providing the services; (b) renders bona fide services that are not in connection with the offer and sale of the Company's securities in a
capital-raising transaction; and (c) does not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities. 

SECTION 6. AWARDS  

6.1 Form and Grant of Awards  

    The Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to determine the type or types of Awards to be granted under the Plan. Awards may be
granted singly or in combination. 

6.2 Settlement of Awards  

    The Company may settle Awards through the delivery of shares of Common Stock, the granting of replacement Awards or any combination thereof as the Plan
Administrator shall determine. Any Award settlement, including payment deferrals, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. The Plan
Administrator may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest,
or dividend equivalents, including converting such credits into deferred stock equivalents. 

6.3 Acquired Company Awards  

    Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for awards issued under other
plans, or assume under the Plan awards issued under other plans, if the other plans are or were plans of other acquired entities ("Acquired Entities") (or the parent of an Acquired Entity) and the new
Award is substituted, or the old award is assumed, by reason of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or liquidation (the "Acquisition Transaction"). In the event
that a written agreement pursuant to which the Acquisition Transaction is completed is approved by the Board and said agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the substitution for or
assumption of outstanding awards of the Acquired Entity, said terms and conditions shall be deemed to be the action of the Plan Administrator without any further 

4

 

action by the Plan Administrator, except as may be required for compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the persons holding such awards shall be deemed to be
Participants. 

SECTION 7. AWARDS OF OPTIONS  

7.1 Grant of Options  

    The Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to grant Options as Incentive Stock Options or as Nonqualified Stock Options, which
shall be appropriately designated. 

7.2 Option Exercise Price  

    The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be as determined by the Plan Administrator, but shall not be less than the minimum exercise price
required by Section 8.3 with respect to Incentive Stock Options and shall not be less than 85% of Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date with respect to Nonqualified Stock
Options. 

7.3 Term of Options  

    Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the instrument evidencing the Option, the maximum term of an Option (the "Option
Term") shall be as established for that Option by the Plan Administrator or, if not so established, shall be ten years from the Grant Date. 

7.4 Exercise of Options  

    The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option the time at which, or the installments in which, the Option
shall vest and become exercisable, any of which provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time. 

    The
Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may adjust the vesting schedule of an Option held by a Participant who works less than "full-time" as that term is defined
by the Plan Administrator or who takes a Company-approved leave of absence. 

    To
the extent an Option has vested and become exercisable, the Option may be exercised in whole or from time to time in part by delivery to the Company of a written stock option
exercise agreement or notice, in a form and in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, setting forth the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised,
the restrictions imposed on the shares purchased under such exercise agreement, if any, and such representations and agreements as may be required by the Plan Administrator, accompanied by payment in
full as described in Section 7.5. An Option may be exercised only for whole shares and may not be exercised for less than a reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the
Plan Administrator. 

7.5 Payment of Exercise Price  

    The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in full to the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the Option
exercise price and the number of shares purchased. Such consideration must be paid before the Company will issue the shares being purchased and must be in a form or a combination of forms acceptable
to the Plan Administrator for that purchase, which forms may include: 

    (a) cash; 

    (b) check; 

5

 

    (c) tendering (either actually or, if the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, by attestation) shares of Common Stock
already owned by the Participant for at least six months (or any shorter period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes) that on the day prior to the
exercise date have a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares being purchased under the Option; or 

    (d) if
the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, together with
irrevocable instructions to a brokerage firm designated by the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option exercise price and any
withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. 

7.6 Post-Termination Exercises  

    The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable, and the
terms and conditions of such exercise, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or to provide services to, the Company or a Related Company, which provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan
Administrator at any time. If not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall be exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may be waived or
modified by the Plan Administrator at any time: 

    (a) Except
as otherwise set forth in this Section 7.6, any portion of an Option that is not vested and exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall
expire on such date. 

    (b) Any
portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall expire on the earliest to occur of 

     (i) if
the Participant's Employment Termination Date occurs for reasons other than Cause, Retirement, Disability or death, the day which is three months after such
Employment Termination Date; 

    (ii) if
the Participant's Employment Termination Date occurs by reason of Retirement, Disability or death, the one-year anniversary of such Employment
Termination Date; and 

    (iii) the
last day of the Option Term (the "Option Expiration Date"). 

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Participant dies after his or her Employment Termination Date but while an Option is otherwise exercisable, the portion of the Option that is
vested and exercisable on such Employment Termination Date shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (y) the Option Expiration Date and (z) the one-year anniversary of the
date of death, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. 

    Also
notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of termination of the Participant's employment or service relationship for Cause, all Options granted to that Participant shall
automatically expire upon first notification to the Participant of such termination, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. If a Participant's employment or service relationship with the
Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the Participant's rights under any Option shall likewise be suspended during the period of
investigation. If any facts that would constitute termination for Cause are discovered after the Participant's relationship with the Company or a Related Company has ended, any Option then held by the
Participant may be immediately terminated by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion. 

    (c) A
Participant's transfer of employment or service relationship between or among the Company and any Related Company, or a change in status from an employee to a
consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor or a change in status from a consultant, agent, advisor or independent 

6

 

contractor to an employee, shall not be considered a termination of employment or service relationship for purposes of this Section 7. Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, a
termination of employment or service relationship shall be deemed to occur if a Particpant's employment or service relationship is with an entity that has ceased to be a Related Company 

    (d) The
effect of a Company-approved leave of absence on the application of this Section 7 shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion. 

    (e) If
a Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company or a Related Company terminates by reason of Disability or death, the Option shall become
fully vested and exercisable for all the shares subject to the Option. Such Option shall remain exercisable for the time period set forth in this Section 7.6. 

SECTION 8. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION LIMITATIONS  

    Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, and to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code, Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the
following additional terms and conditions: 

8.1 Dollar Limitation  

    To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable
for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other stock option plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such portion in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a Nonqualified
Stock Option. In the event the Participant holds two or more such Options that become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, such limitation shall be applied on the basis of the
order in which such Options are granted. 

8.2 Eligible Employees  

    Individuals who are not employees of the Company or one of its parent corporations or subsidiary corporations may not be granted Incentive Stock Options. 

8.3 Exercise Price  

    The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date, and in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations (a "Ten
Percent Stockholder"), shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date. The determination of more than 10% ownership shall be made in accordance with
Section 422 of the Code. 

8.4 Exercisability  

    An Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent it is exercised
(if permitted by the terms of the Option) (a) more than three months after the Employment Termination Date if termination was for reasons other than death or disability, (b) more than
one year after the Employment Termination Date if termination was by reason of disability, or (c) after the Participant has been on leave of absence for more than 90 days, unless the
Participant's reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or contract. 

7

 

8.5 Taxation of Incentive Stock Options  

    In order to obtain certain tax benefits afforded to Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code, the Participant must hold the shares acquired
upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option for two years after the Grant Date and one year after the date of exercise. 

    A
Participant may be subject to the alternative minimum tax at the time of exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any
disposition of shares acquired on the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration of such holding periods. 

8.6 Code Definitions  

    For the purposes of this Section 8, "parent corporation," "subsidiary corporation" and "disability" shall have the meanings attributed to those terms
for purposes of Section 422 of the Code. 

SECTION 9. STOCK AWARDS  

9.1 Grant of Stock Awards  

    The Plan Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Common Stock or Awards denominated in units of Common Stock on such terms and conditions and subject to
such repurchase or forfeiture restrictions, if any (which may be based on achievement of performance goals), as the Plan Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, which terms, conditions
and restrictions shall be set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award. The terms, conditions and restrictions that the Plan Administrator shall have the power to determine shall include, without
limitation, the manner in which shares subject to Stock Awards are held during the periods they are subject to restrictions and the circumstances under which repurchase or forfeiture of the Stock
Award shall occur by reason of termination of the Participant's employment or service relationship. 

9.2 Issuance of Shares  

    Upon the satisfaction of any terms, conditions and restrictions prescribed in respect to a Stock Award, or upon the Participant's release from any terms,
conditions and restrictions of a Stock Award, as determined by the Plan Administrator, the Company shall release, as soon as practicable, to the Participant or, in the case of the Participant's death,
to the personal representative of the Participant's estate or as the appropriate court directs, the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock. 

9.3 Waiver of Restrictions  

    Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, waive the repurchase or forfeiture period and any other
terms, conditions or restrictions on any Stock Award under such circumstances and subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that the
Plan Administrator may not adjust performance goals for any Stock Award intended to be exempt under Section 162(m) of the Code for the year in which the Stock Award is settled in such a manner
as would increase the amount of compensation otherwise payable to a Participant. 

SECTION 10. WITHHOLDING  

10.1 General  

    The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company is required by applicable federal, state, local or
foreign law to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of an Award. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares Common Stock under the Plan until such obligations are
satisfied. 

8

 

10.2 Payment of Withholding Obligations in Cash or Shares  

    The Plan Administrator may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her tax withholding obligations by (a) paying cash to the
Company, (b) having the Company withhold from any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from the Company to the Participant, (c) having the Company withhold a portion of any shares
of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to the Participant having a value equal to the tax withholding obligations (up to the employer's minimum required tax withholding rate), or
(d) surrendering any shares of Common Stock that the Participant previously acquired having a value equal to the tax withholding obligations (up to the employer's minimum required tax
withholding rate to the extent the Participant has held the surrendered shares for less than six months). 

SECTION 11. ASSIGNABILITY  

    Neither an Award nor any interest therein may be assigned, pledged or transferred by the Participant or made subject to attachment or similar proceedings other
than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and, during the Participant's lifetime, such Awards may be exercised only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to
the extent permitted by Section 422 of the Code, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to assign or transfer an Award or may permit a Participant to designate
a beneficiary who may exercise the Award or receive payment under the Award after the Participant's death; provided, however, that any Award so assigned or transferred shall be subject to all the
terms and conditions of the Plan and those contained in the instrument evidencing the Award. 

SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENTS  

12.1 Adjustment of Shares  

    In the event, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, distribution to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend, or other change in the Company's corporate or capital structure, including, without limitation, a Related Party
Transaction, results in (a) the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or kind of securities
of the Company or of any other corporation or (b) new, different or additional securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received by the holders of shares of Common Stock of
the Company, then the Plan Administrator shall make proportional adjustments in (i) the maximum number and kind of securities subject to the Plan and issuable as Incentive Stock Options as set
forth in Section 4 and the maximum number and kind of securities that may be made subject to Stock Awards and to Awards to any individual as set forth in Section 4.3, and (ii) the
number and kind of securities that are subject to any outstanding Award and the per share price of such securities, without any change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor. The determination by
the Plan Administrator as to the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a Corporate Transaction shall not be governed by this Section 12.1 but shall be governed by Sections 12.2 and 12.3,
respectively. 

12.2 Dissolution or Liquidation  

    To the extent not previously exercised or settled, and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, Options and Stock Awards
denominated in units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. To the extent a forfeiture provision or repurchase right applicable to an Award has not been
waived by the Plan Administrator, the Award shall be forfeited immediately prior to the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation. 

9

 

12.3 Corporate Transaction  

 Options  

    (a) In
the event of a Corporate Transaction, except as otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing an Option (or in a written employment or services agreement
between a Participant and the Company or Related Company) and except as provided in subsection (b) below, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted
by the surviving corporation, the successor corporation or its parent corporation, as applicable (the "Successor Corporation"). 

    (b) If,
in connection with a Corporate Transaction, the Successor Corporation refuses to assume or substitute for an Option, then each such outstanding Option shall
become fully vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the unvested portion of the Option. In such case, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the
unvested portion of the Option specified above shall be fully vested and exercisable for a specified time period. At the expiration of the time period, the Option shall terminate, provided that the
Corporate Transaction has occurred. 

    (c) For
the purposes of this Section 12.3, the Option shall be considered assumed or substituted for if following the Corporate Transaction the option or right
confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Corporate Transaction is not
solely common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Plan Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the
Option, for each share of Common Stock subject thereto, to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Common Stock in the Corporate Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Plan Administrator and its determination shall be
conclusive and binding. 

    (d) All
Options shall terminate and cease to remain outstanding immediately following the Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the Successor
Corporation. 

12.4 Further Adjustment of Awards  

    Subject to Sections 12.2 and 12.3, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable at any time before a sale, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, liquidation or change of control of the Company, as defined by the Plan Administrator, to take such further action as it determines to be necessary or advisable, and fair and equitable
to the Participants, with respect to Awards. Such authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to) establishing, amending or waiving the type, terms, conditions or duration of, or
restrictions on, Awards so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional time for exercise, lifting restrictions and other modifications, and the Plan Administrator may take such actions
with respect to all Participants, to certain categories of Participants or only to individual Participants. The Plan Administrator may take such action before or after granting Awards to which the
action relates and before or after any public announcement with respect to such sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or change of control that is the reason for such action. 

10

 

12.5 Limitations  

    The grant of Awards shall in no way affect the Company's right to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to
merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 

12.6 Fractional Shares  

    In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Award, each such Award shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such
adjustment. 

SECTION 13. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION  

13.1 Amendment or Termination of Plan  

    The Board may suspend, amend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time and in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however,
that to the extent required for compliance with Section 422 of the Code or any applicable law or regulation, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment that would
(a) increase the total number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, (b) modify the class of employees eligible to receive Options, or (c) otherwise require stockholder
approval under any applicable law or regulation. Any amendment made to the Plan that would constitute a "modification" to Incentive Stock Options outstanding on the date of such amendment shall not,
without the consent of the Participant, be applicable to such outstanding Incentive Stock Options but shall have prospective effect only. 

13.2 Term of Plan  

    Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten years after the earlier of the Plan's adoption by the Board and approval by the
stockholders. 

13.3 Consent of Participant  

    The suspension, amendment or termination of the Plan or a portion thereof or the amendment of an outstanding Award shall not, without the Participant's
consent, materially adversely affect any rights under any Award theretofore granted to the Participant under the Plan. Any change or adjustment to an outstanding Incentive Stock Option shall not,
without the consent of the Participant, be made in a manner so as to constitute a "modification" that would cause such Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 12 shall not be subject to these restrictions. 

SECTION 14. GENERAL  

14.1 Evidence of Awards  

    Awards granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument that shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Plan
Administrator shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the Plan. 

14.2 No Individual Rights  

    Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any
Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Related Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Related Company
to terminate a Participant's employment or other relationship at any time, with or without Cause. 

11

 

14.3 Issuance of Shares  

    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or make any
other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, such issuance, delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without
limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity. 

    The
Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities Act, or to register or qualify under
state securities laws, any shares of Common Stock, security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications
if made. The Company may issue certificates for shares with such legends and subject to such restrictions on transfer and stop-transfer
instructions as counsel for the Company deems necessary or desirable for compliance by the Company with federal and state securities laws. 

    To
the extent the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Award provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the issuance may be
effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange. 

14.4 No Rights as a Stockholder  

    No Option or Stock Award denominated in units shall entitle the Participant to any cash dividend, voting or other right of a stockholder unless and until the
date of issuance under the Plan of the shares that are the subject of such Award. 

14.5 Compliance With Laws and Regulations  

    Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or
condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are officers or directors subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan
with respect to other Participants. Additionally, in interpreting and applying the provisions of the Plan, any Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the Plan shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be construed as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 

14.6 Participants in Other Countries  

    The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions
of the laws of other countries in which the Company or any Related Company may operate to assure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted to Participants employed in such countries and to
meet the objectives of the Plan. 

14.7 No Trust or Fund  

    The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan. Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other property, or shares
of Common Stock, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any
Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 

12

 

14.8 Severability  

    If any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would disqualify
the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Plan Administrator, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or
deemed amended without, in the Plan Administrator's determination, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award,
and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 

14.9 Choice of Law  

    The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. 

SECTION 15. EFFECTIVE DATE  

    The effective date is the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board. If the stockholders of the Company do not approve the Plan within 12 months
after the Board's adoption of the Plan, any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. 

    Adopted by the Board on July 19, 2001, and approved by the Company's stockholders on October 16, 2001.
