NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements contained herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. S2C’s
Obligations 

     (a)           S2C
shall create DR Advertisements for the Products, in consultation with PGen,
which shall initially consist of DR print (“DR Print”) advertisements, and shall
thereafter include DR TV commercials (“DRTV”) and other forms of DR
Advertisements, following national rollout of S2C’s DR Print campaign for the
Initial Products. The DRTV commercials may be of any length determined by S2C in
its sole discretion.

     (b)          
S2C shall manage all creative, testing, media buying, telemarketing, fulfillment
and credit card processing relating to the sale of Products through DR
Advertisements. S2C will work with PGen on appropriate publicity and home
shopping opportunities for the Products. If S2C believes it necessary, the
parties will work together to adjust packaging of the Products. 

     (c)           S2C
may, but shall not be obligated to, present buying opportunities online of the
Products as part of its overall web strategy, including order acceptance,

Obligations 

     (a)           PGen
shall (1) supply finished goods inventory for the Products (“Finished Goods”);
(2) provide claims substantiation with respect to each Product (including
without limitation any relevant clinical data and support for claims in PGen’s current print
advertising); (3) provide assistance with securing testimonials and cooperation
from experts; and (4) arranging for reasonable appearances by Burt Ensley to
promote PGen-derived products in DR advertising, home shopping and other
channels of distribution; and (5) provide unlimited fully cleared content

necessary rights to use names, likenesses, etc. (“Content”) (6) All patent and
IP are in good standing, and that PGen will aggressively defend them against
potential competition and infringement. S2C shall pay PGen’s (i) reasonable
costs associated with clause (3) above and (ii) standard and customary travel
and meal expenses associated with clause (4) above, provided in each case that
individual expenses in excess of $100 must be preapproved in writing by S2C.
Burt Ensley will not be required to make home shopping appearances more than 12
times per year nor more than twice per month. Until shipment of the Products,
all inventory shall be owned by PGen; thereafter it shall be owned by S2C,
subject to returns in accordance with Section 10 below. 

     (b)          
At no additional cost to S2C, PGen shall: 

     Furnish to S2C fully cleared and
pre-approved clips (video and audio), marketing materials, photographs and

relating to the advertising, distribution and sale thereof; and 

     (c)          
All Products shall be manufactured in accordance with industry standards,
government approvals and shall be fit for the purpose for which they are being
created. 

     3. Orders;
Pricing 

     (a)          
Orders; Fulfillment. During the Term (as defined in Section 8 below), S2C
shall place orders for Products with PGen on a standard purchase order that
shall solely state the quantity of Products desired, the purchase price
therefore, the delivery dates requested, and the shipment address. PGen shall
respond in writing to all purchase orders that may be submitted by S2C to PGen
confirming such order within five working days. PGen agrees to accept any order
placed by S2C on such standard purchase order and in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. All orders shall be shipped DDP to such address or addresses
as may be specified by S2C in the applicable purchase order. 

     (b)          
Purchase Price.

	 	i. 	
      The initial purchase price for each Initial Product is
      set forth on Exhibit C annexed hereto and made a part hereof. The purchase
      prices thereafter for each Product shall be equal to PGen’s mutually
      agreed upon costs for such Product (“Costs”).

	 	 	 
	 	ii. 	
      PGen shall invoice S2C for the Products purchased by and
      delivered to S2C or its designees, and S2C will pay 1⁄2 the invoice amount
      upon receipt by PGen of the Purchase Order, and, within 45 days after the
      date any purchase order product is shipped, pay PGen the remaining 1⁄2 of
      the invoice amount for the Products so invoiced; provided, however, that
      any returns by S2C to PGen in accordance with Section 12 hereof shall be
      offset from the purchase price payable in respect of any purchase order
      and invoice in respect thereof.

     (c)          
Pricing. 

2 

           
The parties anticipate that the Initial Products will be marketed in a three SKU
sales unit consisting of a one-month supply of a DermaLastyl-based system (e.g.,
(x) 1-oz. jar of DermaLastyl-B, (y) 1-month supply of DermaLastyl-E, and (z)
moisturizer) for the three SKUs (collectively, a “Sales Unit”). S2C intends to
test multiple price points and offers with respect to the Products, and does not
presently know the retail price at which it will end up selling the Sales Unit.
S2C also may, but shall not be obligated to, explore trials, sampling and lead
generation campaigns in an effort to minimize customer acquisition cost and
maximize customer lifetime value. 

     4. Production &
Test Marketing 

     (a)          
Commencing on the date of this Agreement S2C will produce and begin testing DR
Advertisements for the Initial Products (the “Testing Period”). During the
Testing Period, S2C will bear all of the costs of the test DR advertising and
will invest not less than $100,000 for the initial test DR advertising, and
additional sums if in S2C’s good faith determination the initial tests are
successful.

     (b)          
S2C will proceed with the National Roll-out if it achieves positive results from
its test DR advertising during the Testing Period. At the end of the Testing
Period, S2C will assume financial and managerial responsibility for public
relations in connection with the Products. 

     (c)           If
S2C fails to roll out a national DR advertising campaign with respect to the
Initial Products by the end of the Testing Period, PGen shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice with no further
liability to S2C, provided, however, that any delay resulting from a failure on
the part of PGen to timely furnish all materials pursuant to Sections 2(a)(1),
2(a)(2) and (5) shall not trigger PGen’s rights under this Section 4(c).

     (d)          
Subsequent to successful testing, S2C and PGen may work together to modify
packaging of the Products by mutual agreement.

     (e)          
S2C shall determine in its sole discretion whether to market the Products
individually or in any combination configuration (including continuity,
boxed-set, multi-pay and single-unit), provided that the price of each
individual SKU for a Product marketed in this manner is equal to the highest
prevailing retail price for such Product and reflects no discount, as indicated
by the current product price chart reflected on the attached Exhibit B (subject
to future price reductions by PGen). 

     5. Exclusive
Rights. During the Term, S2C shall have exclusive worldwide rights (the
“Exclusive Rights”) to all Products in the following channels: (i) DR
television, (ii) home shopping, (iii) DR print, (iv) catalog, (v) Direct Mail,
(vi) DR radio, (vii) outbound telemarketing; (viii) online (including eCommerce,
lead generation and direct marketing) and (ix) retail.

     6. Right
of First Refusal on New Products. S2C will have a Right of First
Refusal on any new cosmeceutical and dermaceutical product(s) (the “New
Products”) created by PGen during the Term on similar terms and conditions to
those outlined in this Agreement.

     7. Term.

The initial term of this Agreement (as
such term may be renewed pursuant to this Section 8(a), the “Term”) shall
commence on the date of this Agreement and shall continue for a period of 5 (5)
years, provided that the initial Term and any renewal Term shall automatically
be renewed for additional 5 (5) year periods in the event that S2C sells at
least $500 Thousand of Products per annum under the terms of this Agreement in
the preceding 5-year Term.

     8. Ownership

     (a)           S2C
shall own the copyright in the DR Advertisements and all other materials created
by it or on its behalf hereunder. 

     (b)           PGen
shall own any materials contained in the Products supplied to S2C by PGen and
nothing in this Agreement shall confer in S2C any right of ownership in such
materials. PGen grants to S2C a exclusive, nonassignable (except to affiliated
entities), nontransferable, royalty-free license, in the United States and for
the Term, to the Products for use by S2C in creating the DR advertising in
accordance with this Agreement. 

     (c)           PGen’s
trademarks, service marks, trade or company names, product and service
identifications, artwork and other symbols and devices associated with the
Products (“PGen’s Marks”) are and shall remain PGen’s property. PGen grants to
S2C an exclusive, nonassignable, nontransferable, royalty-free license, in the
Territory and for the Term, to PGen’s Marks for use by (except to affiliated
entities) S2C solely in accordance with this Agreement. All uses by S2C of
PGen’s Marks shall insure solely to the benefit of PGen.

as an additional insured and shall be non-cancelable by a party except after
thirty (30) days prior written notice to such other party. Each party will

party.

     14. Force
Majeure. Neither party shall have liability for any failure or
delay resulting from any governmental action, fire, flood, insurrection,
earthquake, power failure, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes whether legal or illegal, labor or material shortage,
transportation interruption of any kind, work slowdown or any other condition
that is not reasonably foreseeable and beyond the control of either party
affecting production or delivery in any manner that such party is unable to

directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of

Resolution. 

     (a)          
Mandatory Procedures. The parties agree that any dispute arising out of
or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved solely by means of the
procedures set forth in this Section 20, and that such procedures constitute
legally binding obligations that are an essential provision of this Agreement.
If either party fails to observe the procedures of this Section, as may be
modified by their written agreement, the other party may bring an action for
specific performance of these procedures in any court of competent
jurisdiction.

     (b)          
Equitable Remedies. Although the procedures specified in this Section 20
are the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, either party may seek a preliminary injunction
or other provisional equitable relief if, in its reasonable judgment, such
action is necessary to avoid irreparable harm to itself or to preserve its
rights under this Agreement. 

     (c)           Dispute
Resolution Procedures. If a dispute between the parties cannot be resolved
by informal meetings and discussions within five days after commencement
thereof, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration, and a
corresponding judgment may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Arbitration of any dispute may be initiated by one party by sending a written
demand for arbitration to the other party. This demand will specify the matter
in dispute and request the appointment of an arbitration panel. The arbitration
panel will consist of one arbitrator named by S2C, one arbitrator named by PGen
and a third arbitrator named by the two arbitrators so chosen. The arbitration
hearing will be conducted in accordance with the procedural rules set forth in
the JAMS/Endispute Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. The site of
the arbitration will be in XXX.
