authorization, license or consent of any other person or entity.

         (H) All necessary steps have been, or promptly can be and will be,
taken by the Assignor, at no cost or expense to Assignor other than Assignor's

Assignor from taking any action required by legal or governmental rules,

upon any of the Assignee's right, title or interest in or to any of the
Intellectual Property, or constitutes a copy or colorable imitation of any of
the Intellectual Property, or is substantially or confusingly similar thereto;
in particular, but without limitation, Assignor agrees that it shall not adopt
or use any word, name, symbol or device comprised of or incorporating stylized
letters arrayed in a design or form identical or substantially similar to the
stylized HANSEN'S trademark that was previously or is currently used by Assignor
and depicted on the attached Schedule 13, in the location and/or manner in which
it was previously or is currently used in Assignor's label and/or trade dress or
in any other manner, medium or location as is likely to cause consumer
confusion. Provided however, that this Section 6(I) shall not restrict the right
of Assignor to use the Trademarks and/or Trade Names in accordance with the
Sublicense set forth in Section 5 hereof.

         (J) Assignor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Assignor has the full
power and authority to own its property and carry on its business as now being
conducted. The execution and delivery of this Assignment and Agreement by
Assignor and the performance by Assignor of all of its obligations contemplated
hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action. This
Assignment and Agreement and all other agreements and written obligations
entered into and undertaken in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of Assignor
enforceable against Assignor in accordance with their respective terms except as
such enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors'
rights

                                       16

<PAGE>

generally or general principles of public policy. The execution and delivery of
this Assignment and Agreement, the consummation of the transactions provided for
herein, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof, will not result in the breach
of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or
conflict with, or cause any acceleration of any obligation of Assignor under:
(i) any agreement, indenture, or other instrument; (ii) the articles of
incorporation or by-laws of Assignor; (iii) any judgment, decree, order or award
of any court, governmental body or arbitrator; or (iv) any applicable rule,
regulation or law.

         Section 7: Agreement to Settle Arbitration.

         Contemporaneously with the execution of this Assignment and Agreement,
Assignor agrees to execute and cause to be delivered to Assignee and Assignee
agrees to execute and cause to be delivered to Assignor (a) an original of the
Settlement Agreement dated September __, 1999 between Assignee and Assignor in
connection with the arbitration commenced by Assignee and the Trustee of the
Trust against Assignor, Juice Creations, FSC and the Former Trustees, No. 72 Y
114 01292 98, pending before the American Arbitration Association in Los
Angeles, California (the "Arbitration"), and (b) the Stipulated Final Dismissal
of the Arbitration annexed to, and the Releases executed in connection with,
said Settlement Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this
Assignment and Agreement, Assignor also agrees to execute, and cause to be
delivered to Assignee, Assignor's consent to and approval of the terms and
conditions of the Settlement Agreement dated September __, 1999 between
Assignee, the Trustee of the Trust and Juice Creations, FSC, Barry Lublin and
Harvey Laderman in connection with the Arbitration.

         Section 8: Cooperation.

         (A) Assignor acknowledges and agrees that the Trust is the exclusive
owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks and Trade Names
and all goodwill of the businesses directly associated therewith, subject only
to such licenses to use the Trademarks and Trade Names as may properly have been
granted by the Trust. Assignor further acknowledges and agrees that it is the
primary intention and purpose of this Assignment and Agreement to transfer such
rights, titles and interests to Assignee as will enable Assignee to assume full
ownership, possession and enjoyment of all right, title and interest in and to
the Trademarks, Trade Names and HANSEN'S Girl (including, without limitation,
the entire, valid and exclusive ownership and title therein and in all
registrations and applications for registration thereof, and all goodwill of the
businesses symbolized thereby), by, among other means, enabling Assignee to
cause the assignment and transfer of all such right, title and interest by the
Trust to Assignee or Assignee's designee.

         (B) Assignor, therefore, agrees that, upon and after the Parties' entry
into this Assignment and Agreement, Assignor will, at Assignee's expense,
provide such full and continuing cooperation and assistance to the Assignee as
may be necessary or desirable: (i) to effect the assignment and transfer to
Assignee or Assignee's designee, and their respective successors,
representatives and assigns, of all right, title and interest in and to the
Trademarks and other Intellectual Property and subject matter assigned to
Assignee pursuant to Section 1 hereof (including, without limitation, all right,
title and interest in and to the Trademarks and other Intellectual Property held
by the Trust), and all registrations and applications for registration thereof;
and (ii) to secure, validate, register, perfect, defend, protect and/or enforce

                                       18

<PAGE>

Assignee's right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks, other
Intellectual Property and any subject matter assigned to Assignee pursuant to
Section I hereof. Provided, however that Assignor shall be responsible for
payment of its own attorneys' fees incurred in rendering such cooperation or
assistance.

         (C) Such cooperation and assistance shall include, without limitation,
Assignor's receipt, preparation, execution and delivery to or on behalf of
Assignee or Assignee's designee all documents, instruments and materials
(including, but not limited to, all assignments, affidavits and powers), and
performance of all acts (including, but not limited to, the dissolution of the
Trust, amendment of the Trust Agreement and/or participation as a party or
witness to any action or proceeding), as may reasonably be requested by the
Assignee for the purposes of: (i) effecting any of the assignments referred to
in Section 8 (B), above; (ii) authorizing and requesting the Commissioner of
Patents and Trademarks of the United States of America and the appropriate
officers of all other jurisdictions in which the Trademarks are registered or in
which applications included among and for registration of the Trademarks are
pending, to record the title of Assignee or Assignee's designee, and their
respective successors, representatives and assigns, as owner of all right, title
and interest in and to the Trademarks, together with all good will of the
businesses directly associated with the Trademarks, and to issue the Certificate
of Registration resulting from any application for registration of the
Trademarks or renewal of any existing registration of any of the Trademarks to
Assignee or Assignee's designee and their respective successors, representatives
and assigns; (iii) obtaining any other applications, registrations, recordations
or other filings of or for any of the Trademarks and/or other Intellectual
Property or subject matter assigned to Assignee pursuant to Section 1 hereof;

                                       19

<PAGE>

(iv) initiating, prosecuting, defending or participating in any action or
proceeding of or relating to any of the Trademarks and/or other Intellectual
Property or subject matter assigned to Assignee pursuant to Section 1 hereof; or
(v) establishing, evidencing or obtaining the validity, performance or
enforcement of any of the transactions, rights or obligations provided for by
this Assignment and Agreement.

         Section 9: Confidentiality. The existence, nature and content of this
Assignment and Agreement and its terms and conditions shall remain confidential.
Other than the Press Release provided for in Section 11(O) below, there shall be
no publication, disclosure, dissemination, representation, or characterization
to any third party of or concerning: this Assignment and Agreement or the nature
and contents of this Assignment and Agreement, provided however, that nothing
herein shall be construed as to prohibit the Parties from disclosing the
foregoing information (a) to independent auditors or legal counsel, (b) when
required by legal or governmental rules, regulations or compulsory process, or
(c) when appropriate, to enforce, confirm or defend the disclosing Party's
intellectual property rights and/or this Assignment and Agreement.

         Section 10: Assignor's Distribution Agreements. With the sole exception
of the Fresh Juices Sublicense, Assignor agrees that, effective upon or before
the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublicense provided for in Section
5 above, it shall modify, amend and supersede, and/or, if necessary, cancel,
terminate, rescind, nullify or void, all such provisions of any distribution,
license, sublicense or other agreement between Assignor or HJI and any other
person or entity as grant, permit or entail any express or implied rights,
titles or interests in or to any of the Trademarks or Trade Names (the
"Distribution Agreements") so as to eliminate,

                                       20

<PAGE>

terminate, rescind, nullify or void all rights, titles and interests in and to
the Trademarks and Trade Names expressly or impliedly granted or created by, or
which may arise from, the Distribution Agreements. Nothing contained in this
Assignment and Agreement shall be construed (i) as a recognition or
acknowledgment by Assignee or the Trustee of the Trust that any third parties,
including, without limitation, any distributors of Assignor, have any rights,
titles or interests in and to the Intellectual Property and/or (ii) as a waiver
of any of Assignee's or the Trustee of the Trust's rights, titles or interests
in and to the Intellectual Property and/or as a waiver of their rights to seek
enforcement thereof.

         Section 11: Miscellaneous.

         (A) Binding Effect; Assignability. This Assignment and Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Assignor and Assignee, and each of

         (E) Remedies. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided at equity or at law. In the
event of a breach or threatened breach by either Party of its obligations under
this Assignment and Agreement, each Party acknowledges that the other Party may
not have an adequate remedy at law and shall be entitled to seek specific
performance of this Assignment and Agreement and such preliminary, permanent and
mandatory equitable and injunctive relief as may be available to restrain the
other Party from any actual or threatened violation of the provisions hereof.
Accordingly, notwithstanding the Parties' agreement to submit to arbitration set
forth in Section 11(F), below,

                                       23

<PAGE>

either party may apply to any court situate in Los Angeles County (the "Court")
to obtain any of the foregoing, or other, relief in connection with any dispute,
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Assignment and Agreement
in the event that the granting of any such relief is not within the
authorization, power or policy of any arbitral authority selected by the
Parties, or is not expressly denied by such arbitral authority but nevertheless
cannot be obtained from such authority in time to avoid imminent, irreparable
harm. The Parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court for
the purposes of hearing and deciding such application. The prevailing Party in
any action or proceeding seeking such relief shall be entitled to reimbursement
from the other Party of any costs or expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such proceeding. Nothing
herein shall be construed as prohibiting either Party from pursuing any other
remedies available for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery
of damages.

         (F) Arbitration/Alternative Dispute Resolution. The Parties hereby
expressly agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, in
connection with, or relating to this Assignment and Agreement, or the entry
into, breach or termination hereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration
conducted by JAMS/Endispute ("JAMS") in accordance with JAMS Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "Rules"). The arbitration shall be heard
by one (1) arbitrator to be selected in accordance with the Rules, in Orange
County, California. Judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. Within seven (7) calendar days after appointment
the arbitrator shall set the hearing date, which shall be within ninety (90)
days after the filing date of the demand for arbitration unless a later date is
required for good cause shown and shall order a mutual exchange of what he/she

                                       24

<PAGE>

determines to be relevant documents, identifications of witnesses and
information and the dates thereafter for the taking of up to a maximum of five
(5) depositions by each Party to last no more than two (2) days per deponent.
Both Parties waive the right, if any, to obtain any award for exemplary or
punitive damages or any other amount for the purpose of imposing a penalty from
the other in any arbitration or judicial proceedings or other adjudication
arising out of or with respect to this Assignment and Agreement, or any breach
hereof, including any claim that this Assignment and Agreement or any part
hereof, is invalid, illegal or otherwise voidable or void. In addition to all
other relief that may be granted in the arbitration, including, without
limitation, the relief set forth in Section 11(E) above, the arbitrator shall
award reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing Party. The arbitrator shall
make his or her award no later than seven (7) calendar days after the close of
evidence or the submission of final briefs, whichever occurs later. The
arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties and the parties
hereto agree that they will accept such decision and award as binding and
conclusive and will abide thereby. Service of any notice, process, motion or
other document in connection with such arbitration proceeding and arbitration
award may be made by personal service or by any means specified in Section 11(D)
hereof.

         (G) Governing Law. This Assignment and Agreement, including, without
limitation, the formation, validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement
hereof, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving
effect to the laws, rules or principles of that State with regard to conflicts
of law.

         (H) Independent Agents. The parties hereto are independent contractors
and neither party is the agent, joint venturer, partner, or employee of the
other.

                                       25

<PAGE>

         (I) No Third Party Beneficiaries. No third party beneficiary rights or
interests are contemplated, intended or created by this Assignment and
Agreement.

         (J) Modifications and Amendments. No amendment, modification,
rescission, or waiver of, or const to any departure from, this Assignment and
Agreement, in whole or in part, shall be valid or binding upon any of the
Parties unless made in writing and property signed by or on behalf of the party
to be charged therewith.

         (K) Waivers. No failure or delay of any Party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege. Any waiver of or consent to any departure from the terms of this
Assignment and Agreement, in whole or in part, shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

         (L) Severability. If any provision of this Assignment and Agreement or
the application thereof shall to any extent be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the remainder of the Assignment and Agreement shall not be
affected or impaired thereby, and each provision hereof shall be construed and
enforced consistent with the intent of this Assignment and Agreement and shall
be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         (M) Survival of Provisions. The assignments set forth in Section 1, the
representations, warranties and obligations set forth in Section 6, and the
rights and obligations set forth in Sections 7, 82, 9, 10, 11(A), 11(E), 11(F)
and 11(O) of this Assignment and Agreement, shall be of continuing duration and
shall survive the execution, termination,

                                       26

<PAGE>

expiration, cancellation, repudiation and/or rescission of this Assignment and
Agreement for any reason.

         (N) Entire Understanding. This Assignment and Agreement (including the
Introduction and Recitals and annexed Schedules, which are incorporated and made
a part hereof), sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the
Parties relating to the subject matter set forth herein, and merges, cancels and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous representations, discussions,
communications, assignments and agreements between them with respect to the

of the assignments provided in this Assignment and Agreement may have a
significant effect with each of the Parties' respective customers. For that

Mr. P. J. Norris
Chairman, President & CEO
W. R. Grace & Co.

Dear Paul,

Per our recent discussions, the following is a summary of the employment status,
compensation and other arrangements that we agreed to regarding my personal
situation in connection with the relocation of the Company's Headquarters to
Columbia, Maryland:

1.       I will remain with the Company in the position of Senior Vice President
         and General Counsel and resign from the position of Secretary in
         anticipation that Mark Shelnitz will be elected Secretary by the Board
         at its July 8, 1999 meeting.

2.       Under this arrangement I will receive a salary increase to $300,000 per
         year effective July 1, 1999 and agree to divide my working time
         approximately 50%/50% between Boca Raton, Florida and Columbia,
         Maryland, with the intention of remaining with the Company as Senior
         Vice President and General Counsel, at least through June 30, 2000.

         By March 31, 2000, we will reach mutual agreement for me to either stay
         with the Company or to resign as of June 30, 2000. In either case,
         however, voluntary termination or resignation at the Company's request,
         I will be eligible for all of the Productivity Effectiveness Program
         (PEP) separation arrangements including, but not limited to, severance
         pay, vesting of stock options and prorated restricted shares, etc.
         Further, in the event we mutually agree to extend my employment with
         the Company beyond June 30, 2000, I will remain eligible for the PEP
         separation arrangements, provided that I give the Company 90 days
         notice if I voluntarily resign at any time after that date. In turn, I
         understand and agree that the Company will give me at least 90 days
         notice in the event it decides to terminate my employment at any time
         after June 30, 2000 and that the PEP severance arrangement will also be
         provided to me in such a case. However, as of June 30, 2001, I will
         become an employee at will and not be eligible for the PEP severance
         arrangement, in the event of my voluntary resignation.

3.       If I become entitled to receive severance benefits under the Executive
         Severance Agreement between me and the Company (i.e., the "Golden
         Parachute"), then I will receive benefits under that Agreement and will
         not receive the benefits of the PEP separation arrangements. In
         addition, if I become eligible to receive severance pay under any other
         program or plan of the Company (other than the PEP separation
         arrangements), at the time I become entitled to receive benefits under

         benefits of the PEP separation arrangements; except that, if the
         benefits under such other program or plan are of greater cash value
