<PAGE>

                  (a) The Company shall, at its cost, prepare and, by
         [_______________, 2005], file with the SEC and thereafter use its best
         efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as practicable, a
         registration statement on Form S-B2 (or such other form as may be
         allowed under law) (the "SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT") relating to the
         offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof
         from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set
         forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the
         Securities Act (hereinafter, the "SHELF REGISTRATION").

                  (b) The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Shelf
         Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the
         prospectus included therein (the "PROSPECTUS") to be lawfully delivered
         by the Holders of the Registrable Securities for a period of two (2)
         years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to the terms
         herein) from the date of its effectiveness or such shorter period that
         will terminate when all the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf
         Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto, (ii) become
         eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act,
         or (iii) cease to be outstanding (in any such case, such period being
         called the "SHELF REGISTRATION PERIOD"). The Company shall be deemed
         not to have used its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
         effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any
         action that would result in Holders of the Registrable Securities
         covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Registrable
         Securities during that period, unless such action is (i) required by
         applicable law or (ii) taken by the Company in good faith and
         contemplated by Section 1.3(f).

                  (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to
         the contrary, the Company shall use its best efforts such that each of
         the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment
         or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf
         Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) comply in all
         material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities
         Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and (ii) do not contain
         any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
         fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
         statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
         made, not misleading.

         1.3 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the Shelf
Registration contemplated in Section 1.2 hereof, the following provisions shall
apply:

                  (a) The Company shall furnish to each Holder, prior to filing
         thereof with the SEC, a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and
         each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the Prospectus
         included therein and include the names of the Holders who propose to
         sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
         Statement as selling security holders.

                  (b) During the Shelf Registration Period, the Company shall
         furnish to the Holders such reasonable number of copies of a
         Prospectus, including a preliminary Prospectus in conformity with the
         requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they
         may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
         Registrable Securities owned by them; and the Company consents, subject
         to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the Prospectus and
         any amendment or supplement thereto, by each of the selling Holders of
         the Registrable Securities in connection with the offering and sale of
         the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus, or any amendment
         or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement.

                  (c) The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to register
         or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the securities covered by
         such Registration Statement included therein in connection with the
         registration or qualification of the Registrable Securities for offer
         and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as
         shall be reasonably requested by the Holders and do any and all other
         acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in
         such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf
         Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall not be required
         in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify
         generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
         qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to general
         service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not
         then so subject.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  (d) The Company will use its best efforts to comply with all
         rules and regulations of the SEC to the extent and so long as they are
         applicable to the Shelf Registration and will make generally available
         to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with
         Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement covering at
         least twelve (12) months satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of
         the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder as soon as reasonably
         practicable.

                  (e) The Company shall notify each Holder of Registrable
         Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement at any time
         when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
         the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which
         the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in
         effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
         state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
         circumstances then existing. During the period for which the Company is
         required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement, the
         Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to
         the Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the
         Prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter
         delivered to Holders or purchasers of the Registrable Securities, the
         Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
         omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
         under which they were made, not misleading.

                  (f) The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish on
         the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the
         underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through
         underwriters, (i) an opinion dated as of such date of the counsel
         representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form
         and substance as is customarily given to underwriters addressed to the
         underwriters, and (ii) a comfort letter dated as of such date from the
         independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and
         substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
         accountants to underwriters in connection with primary underwritten
         public offerings, addressed to the underwriters.

                  (g) The Company shall (i) make reasonably available for
         inspection by the Holders, any underwriter participating in any
         disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any
         attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such
         underwriter, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent
         corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the
         Company's officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to
         supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or
         any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with
         the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably
         necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation
         within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided,
         however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall
         be coordinated on behalf of the Holders by one counsel designated by
         and on behalf of the Holders as described in Section 1.4 hereof.

                  (h) If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with
         Section 1.3(f) to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite
         changes to the Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall
         suspend use of such Prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the
         Shelf Registration Statement shall be extended by the number of days
         from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and
         including the earlier of (i) the date when the Holders shall have
         received such amended or supplemented Prospectus pursuant to this
         Section 1.3 and (ii) the effective date of notice by the Company to the
         Holders that the Shelf Registration Statement is effective and that no
         supplement or amendment is required.

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (i) The Company shall use its best efforts to take all other
         steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable
         Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement contemplated
         hereby.

         1.4 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. Except as specifically provided herein,
all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification, or compliance shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses
incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by the
Holders of the securities so registered PRO RATA on the basis of the number of
shares so registered.

         1.5 UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING. If the Shelf Registration Statement is for
an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of the
Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder to be
included in a registration pursuant to this Article 1 shall be conditioned upon
such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through
such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the
Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the
underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation
of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be
included in the underwriting shall be allocated: first, to the Company; second,
to the Holders on a PRO RATA basis based on the number of Registrable Securities
requested by each Holder to be included in such underwriting; and third, to any
shareholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a PRO RATA basis. No such
reduction shall reduce the amount of securities proposed by the Holders to be so
included in the registration below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of
securities included in such registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms
of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company and the underwriter delivered at least ten (10) business
days prior to the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement. Any
Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a
partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, retired
partners, members, former members, and shareholders of such Holder, or the
estates and family members of any such individuals and any trusts for the
benefit of any of the foregoing person shall be deemed to be a single "Holder,"
and any PRO RATA reduction with respect to such "Holder" shall be based upon the
aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities
and individuals included in such "Holder," as defined in this sentence.

         1.6 FURNISHING INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article 1 that
the selling Holders furnish to the Company such information regarding
themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration
of their Registrable Securities.

         1.7 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a Shelf Registration Statement under Section 1.2:

                  (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
         and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers and
         directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities
         Act) for such Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder
         or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
         Act against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
         several) to which they may become subject insofar as such losses,
         claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
         out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions, or
         violations (collectively a "VIOLATION") by the Company: (i) any untrue
         statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
         such Shelf Registration Statement including any preliminary Prospectus
         or final Prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements
         thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading, and (iii) any violation or alleged

                                       4
<PAGE>

         violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
         state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
         Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law in
         connection with the offering covered by such Shelf Registration
         Statement; and the Company will pay as incurred to each such Holder,
         partner, member, officer, director, underwriter, or controlling person
         of such Holder or underwriter for any legal or other expenses
         reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
         defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided,
         however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7
         shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
         damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the
         consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
         withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such
         loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises
         out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in
         conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in
         connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, member,
         officer, director, underwriter, or controlling person of such Holder or
         underwriter.

                  (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if
         Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the
         securities as to which such registration, qualification, or compliance
         is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
         directors, its officers, and each person, if any, who controls the
         Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter (and
         any person that controls such underwriter) and any other Holder selling
         securities under such Shelf Registration Statement or any of such other
         Holder"s partners, members, directors, or officers or any person who
         controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or
         liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such
         director, member, officer, controlling person, underwriter, or other
         such Holder or partner, member, director, officer, or controlling
         person of such underwriter or other Holder may become subject under the
         Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state law,
         insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
         respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each
         case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs
         in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
         by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder
         specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each
         such Holder will pay as incurred any legal or other expenses reasonably
         incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this
         Section 1.7 in connection with investigating or defending any such
         loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if it is judicially
         determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however, that the
         indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7 shall not apply to
         amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
         or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Holders
         representing 51% or more of the Registrable Securities, which consent
         shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided FURTHER, that in no event
         shall any indemnity under this Section 1.7 exceed the net proceeds
         received by such Holder for the Shares that were registered in that
         offering.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
         Section 1.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
         governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in
         respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this
         Section 1.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
         commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
         participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,
         jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
         the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
         indemnifying parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
         shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and
         expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of
         such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying
         party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
         interests between such indemnified party and any other party
         represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
         written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of
         the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its
         ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of
         any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.7, but the
         omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will
         not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified
         party otherwise than under this Section 1.7.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is
         held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
         indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages, or
         liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of
         indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall, to the extent
         permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount paid or payable
         by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, or
         liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
         fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified
         party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in
         such loss, claim, damage, or liability, as well as any other relevant
         equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party
         and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by
         reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
         statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
         relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the
         indemnified party and the parties" relative intent, knowledge, access
         to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
         omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder
         hereunder exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder for the
         Shares that were registered in that offering.

                  (e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
         Section 1.7 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable
         Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and the
         termination of this Agreement. No indemnifying party, in the defense of
         any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each
         indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
         settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
         giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a
         release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

         1.8 LIMITATION ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION RIGHTS. After the date of

would grant such holder registration rights senior to those granted to the
Holders hereunder.

         1.9 "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT; AGREEMENT TO FURNISH INFORMATION.
Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any
short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging
or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale with respect to
any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other
than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the
representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the
Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date
of a Shelf Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act;
provided that all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least
ten percent (10%) of the Company"s voting securities enter into similar
agreements.

         1.10 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available to the Holders
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the
sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the
Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

                  (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms
         are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous
         rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the
         effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an
         offering of its securities to the general public;

                  (b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and
         other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

                  (c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities,
         furnish to such Holder forthwith upon reasonable request: (i) a written
         statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
         requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act and of the Exchange
         Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
         requirements); (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
         report of the Company; and (iii) such other reports and documents as a
         Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or
         regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without
         registration. In the event that a Holder requests an opinion from
         counsel concerning the transfer of shares, such Holder shall pay all
         costs, including attorney fees, related to such opinion.

              The
                Share and the Participation as well as all shares in the Subsidiaries
                have
                been validly issued, are free of any encumbrances and are fully paid
                in,

                of share
                capital. Neither the Share, the Participation nor the shares in any
                of the
                Subsidiaries are subject to or have been issued in violation of
                pre-emptive or similar rights. No options or other rights to acquire
                shares in the Companies or any of the Subsidiaries have been granted.
                Neither the Share, the Participation nor any of the shares in any
                of the
                Subsidiaries are subject to any voting or trust agreements or arrangements
                or shareholders' agreement and sub-participation or similar
                rights.

            

    

    

    
      	(d)  	
              Since
                1 January 2005 neither the Sellers nor any of the affiliated companies
                of
                the Sellers has directly or indirectly withdrawn any amount of cash
                from
                the Companies or any of the Subsidiaries and no direct or indirect
                payments have been made by the Companies or any of the Subsidiaries
                to any
                of the Sellers or any of Sellers' affiliated companies other than
                in the
                ordinary course of business and on arms’ length terms and the measures
                which led to the receivable mentioned in section 2.7 of this
                Agreement.

    Neither
      the Companies nor any of the Subsidiaries have incurred the obligation to
      initiate bankruptcy, insolvency or judicial composition proceedings. To the
      Seller’s Knowledge, no bankruptcy, insolvency or judicial composition
      proceedings have been initiated or applied for under the laws under which the
      Companies or any of the Subsidiaries, as applicable, are registered and, to
      the
      Seller’s Knowledge, there exist no circumstances which would justify the opening
      of such proceedings or the avoidance, challenge or rescission of this Agreement
      under the German Insolvency Code.

      any material contingent liabilities other than those shown in the Financial
      Statements or incurred in the ordinary course of business or except such
      liabilities which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the

      records (the “Records”)

      	(b)  	
              their

      by
      reason of such breach subject to sections 8.5 and 8.6 hereof by payment of

      the deferred cash payments according to section 2.3(c) and (d) of the Stock
      Purchase Agreement between Weider Nutrition Group Inc., Wolfgang Brandt and
      Eberhardt Schlüter of 9 July 1998. However, the Sellers shall hold the
      Purchasers free and harmless from any claims by Wolfgang Brandt and Eberhardt
      Schlüter existing against Haleko pursuant to section 2.3 (c) and (d) of the
      aforesaid agreement if and to the extent to which the Sellers or any of its
      direct or indirect shareholders are authorized to assume the defence against
      such claims and are in charge of any litigation in connection therewith. Any
      settlement entered into by Haleko with regard to the aforesaid subject
      matter shall require the prior written consent of Sellers, such consent not
      to
      be unreasonably withheld.

                indemnification of
                Purchasers

            

    

    

    
      	(a)  	
              The Purchasers
                are aware of the fact that the Companies are currently subject to
                a tax
                field audit for assessment periods 1.1.1998 - 30.4. 2003. For Haleko
                the
                competent tax office intends to recognize additional taxable
                profit,
                inter
                alia,
                in the
                amount of DEM 5.26 million. The Sellers furnished the Purchasers
                with
                a memorandum prepared by the law firm Latham & Watkins LLP dated June
                9, 2005 dealing with the merits of the arguments raised by the tax
                office
                with regard to such additional income recognition. The Parties assume
                that
                the on-going tax field audit at the level of the Companies will not
                have
                been finalized prior to signing of this Agreement. Therefore, the
                Parties
                agree as follows:

            

    

    

    
      	(1)  	
              The
                Sellers
                shall indemnify the Companies for 80% of any negative impact arising
                from
                the field audit conducted by the tax authorities in spring 2005,
                provided
                such tax audit has a direct negative cash-effect of taxes payable
                in
                excess of an exemption threshold (Freibetrag) of € 100,000, which has
                to be borne by the Purchasers anyway, and cannot be compensated by
                existing loss carry-forwards, any other positive future tax effects
                (such
                as depreciation allowances, write-downs or other allowances for income
                tax
                purposes; input tax deductions for VAT purposes etc., excluding future
                loss carry forwards), or any other compensatory effect for the benefit
                of
                any of the
                Companies or
                the Purchasers. The total exposure of the Purchasers and the Companies
                in
                excess of the aforesaid exemption threshold shall be limited to
                € 100,000; the Purchasers and the Companies shall, however,
                pick up
                the tax bill for those taxes which will result in compensatory tax
                effects
                in subsequent years. Example:
                The tax
                field audit will result in additional cash tax payments of the Companies
                in the amount of € 500,000. Compensatory tax effects are
                € 100,000 which are economically borne by the Companies; an
                additional € 160,000 will be paid by the Companies and € 240,000
                by the Sellers. If the additional tax payments amount to € 1 million,
                and no compensatory effects will occur, the Companies will bear
                € 200,000 whereas the Sellers will bear
                € 800,000.

            

    

    

    
      	(2)  	
              The
                aforesaid
                tax indemnity shall be contingent upon the Sellers’ remaining in joint
                control with the Purchasers - each at his own costs of any negotiations
                with, and proceedings or litigation against, the tax authorities
                as far as
                the afore-mentioned tax audit is concerned. The Purchasers are aware
                of
                the fact that Seller 1 is also subject to the afore-mentioned
                tax
                field audit and that the recognition of additional taxable profit
                in the
                amount of DEM 5.26 million may have an impact on Seller 1
                as
                well. As a consequence, the Companies and the Purchasers agree, to
                handle
                the afore-mentioned tax field audit in good faith together with the
                Sellers. This shall include to negotiate with this tax authorities,
                reach
                agreements and settlements, instigate legal proceedings and represent
                the
                Companies and the Purchasers, as the case may be, in such proceedings.
                The
                Companies and the Purchasers undertake to (i) cooperate with Seller 1
                to the extent legally possible, (ii) to provide Seller 1 with
                any
                information required and (iii) subject to mutual agreement, to make
                any
                statement, election or other declaration which for statutory purposes
                or
                for any other reason the Companies or the Purchasers, respectively
                have to
                make in person.

                that
                such field audit is completed before the fourth anniversary of the
                date of

                be, due

      Sellers incur any Taxes in their capacity as former partners of Haleko, which
      (i) are attributable to the period between the Effective Date and the date
      of
      this Agreement and (ii) are not related to transactions of Haleko outside of
      the
      ordinary course of business, the Purchasers will indemnify and hold harmless
      Sellers from any such Taxes.
