W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive, and
Executive desires to obtain employment with the Company.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
promises and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Effective Date; Term of Employment. The Company agrees to employ Executive and
Executive agrees to become an employee and perform services for the
Company, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Executive’s
employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be “at will,” meaning that either
Executive or the Company may terminate Executive’s employment relationship
at any time, for any reason, with or without prior notice.

 

2.                                       Duties; Extent of Service.

 

(a)                                  During
Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Executive shall serve as an
employee of the Company with the title and position of Chief Executive Officer
and President, reporting to the Board of Directors of the Company. Executive
hereby accepts such employment, agrees to serve the Company in the capacities indicated,
and agrees to use Executive’s best efforts in, and shall devote Executive’s
full working time, attention, skill and energies to, the advancement of the
interests of the Company and its subsidiaries and the performance of Executive’s
duties and responsibilities hereunder. Executive confirms that he is not
subject to any agreement or obligations that would conflict with his employment
by the Company hereunder as of the Effective Date.

 

(b)                                 Without
limitation of Section 2(a) above, Executive shall not be required to
spend more than 180 days in any calendar year in the United States of America
as he has substantial responsibilities for the Company’s operations outside of
the United States.

 

3.                                       Salary and Bonus.

 

(a)                                  During
Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive a
base salary, which initially shall be paid at a rate of $600,000 per annum and
shall be payable in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s
usual payroll practice for executive officers of the Company as in effect from
time to time.

 

(b)                                 Executive
shall be eligible to receive a bonus based upon the Company’s bonus
compensation plan as approved annually by the Board of Directors (each, a “Bonus”).
Each Bonus shall be subject to applicable withholding and shall be paid to
Executive at such

 

 

time as the Company pays bonuses to its employees generally, provided
Executive must be employed by the Company on December 31 of a given year
in order to receive a Bonus for such year (or portion thereof).

 

4.                                       Benefits.

 

(a)                                  During
Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to
participate in any and all medical, pension, profit sharing, dental and life
insurance plans and disability income plans, retirement arrangements and other
employment benefits, as may be in effect from time to time for executive
officers of the Company generally. Such participation shall be subject to (i) the
terms of the applicable plan documents (including, as applicable, provisions
granting discretion to the Board of Directors of the Company or any
administrative or other committee provided for therein or contemplated
thereby), and (ii) generally applicable policies of the Company. Executive
shall be eligible to participate in all such plans and other benefits as of the
Effective Date

 

(b)                                 The
Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses
incurred by Executive during Executive’s employment hereunder in accordance
with the Company’s practices for executive officers of the Company, as in
effect from time to time.

 

(c)                                  Compliance
with the provisions of this Section 4 shall in no way create or be deemed
to create any obligation, express or implied, on the part of the Company
or any of its affiliates with respect to the continuation of any particular
benefit or other plan or arrangement maintained by them or their subsidiaries
as of or prior to the Effective Date or the creation and maintenance of any
particular benefit or other plan or arrangement at any time after the Effective
Date.

 

5.                                       Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall

6.                                       Severability. In the event that any covenant contained in this Agreement shall be
determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, it shall
be interpreted so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent possible, all as
determined by such court in such action. The existence of any claim or cause of
action which Executive may have against the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates shall not constitute a defense or bar to the
enforcement of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

7.                                       Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the
State of California, without consideration of its choice of law provisions, and
shall not be amended, modified or discharged in whole or in part except by
an agreement in writing signed by both of the parties hereto. Executive will
also concurrently execute the Company’s standard from “Agreement to Arbitrate,”
which shall be incorporated by reference herein and supplements this Agreement.

 

The failure of either of the
parties to require the performance of a term or obligation or to exercise any
right under this Agreement or the waiver of any breach hereunder shall not
prevent subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or exercise of such
right or the enforcement at any time of any other right hereunder or be deemed a
waiver of any subsequent breach of the provision so breached, or of any other
breach hereunder. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon and assignable to, successors of the Company by way of merger,
consolidation or sale and may not be assigned by Executive. This Agreement
supersedes and terminates all prior understandings and agreements between the
parties (or their predecessors) relating to the subject matter hereof. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “person” means an individual, corporation,
partnership, association, trust or any unincorporated organization; a “subsidiary”
means any corporation more than 50 percent of whose outstanding voting
securities, or any partnership, joint venture or other entity more than 50 percent
of whose total equity interest, is directly or indirectly owned by such person;
and an “affiliate” of a person shall mean, with respect to a person or entity,
any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by,
or is under common control with such person or entity.

Natrol, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together
with all successors thereto, the “Company”), hereby grants to BDL Investment
Trust (the “Optionee”), for the benefit of Wayne Bos (the “Executive”), an
option (the “Stock Option”) to purchase on or prior to the expiration date
specified above, or such earlier date as is specified herein, all or any part of
the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”),
of the Company indicated above (the “Option Shares”), at the per share option
exercise price specified above (which is the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock at the time of grant, based upon the last trade immediately prior
to the grant) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”). This Stock Option is
not intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”).

 

1.                                      Vesting, Exercisability
and Sale.

 

(a)                                  This Stock Option is fully vested upon
its grant on the date hereof.

 

(b)                                 This Stock Option shall become
exercisable upon approval of this Stock Option by the Company’s shareholders
and shall continue to be exercisable by the Optionee or its successors as
contemplated herein at any time or times prior to February 14, 2011,
subject to the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, Section 5
hereof which provides for the termination of unexercised options upon
completion of certain transactions as described therein and the provisions of Section 1(c) below
regarding shareholder approval (the earliest to occur of such dates being
referred to as the “Expiration Date”).

 

 

(c)                                  In the event the shareholders of the
Company do not approve the grant of this Stock Option at the Company’s next
annual meeting of shareholders held after the date hereof, this Stock Option
shall be deemed to be null and void and of no effect.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event that the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment
with the Company during the one year period after the date hereof, this Stock
Option shall terminate on the date which is 90 days following the date of such
termination of employment.

 

(e)                                  The Option Shares may only be sold
as set forth on Exhibit A.

 

2.                                      Exercise of Stock Option.

 

(a)                                  The Optionee may exercise this Stock
Option in the following manner:  Prior to
the Expiration Date (subject to Section 5), the Optionee may deliver
a Stock Option Exercise Notice (an “Exercise Notice”) in the form of Appendix A
hereto indicating its election to purchase some or all of the Option Shares.
Such notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased.

 

Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be
made by one or more of the following methods: 
(i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument
acceptable to the Board of Directors; or (ii) (A) through the
delivery (or attestation to ownership) of shares of Common Stock that have been
purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that have been held by the
Optionee for at least six months and are not subject to restrictions under any
plan of the Company, or (B) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a
properly executed Exercise Notice together with irrevocable instructions to a
broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and
acceptable to the Company to pay the option purchase price, provided that in
the event the Optionee chooses to pay the option purchase price as so provided,
the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into
such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Committee shall
prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure, or (C) a combination
of (i), (ii)(A) and (ii)(B) above. Payment instruments will be
received subject to collection.

 

(b)                                 Certificates for the Option Shares so
purchased will be issued and delivered to the Optionee upon compliance to the
satisfaction of the Board of Directors with all requirements under applicable
laws or regulations in connection with such issuance. Until the Optionee shall
have complied with the requirements hereof, the Company shall be under no
obligation to issue the Option Shares subject to this Stock Option, and the
determination of the Board of Directors as to such compliance shall be final
and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder
of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of
stock subject to this Stock Option unless and until this Stock Option shall
have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have issued
and delivered the Option Shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall
have been entered as a stockholder of record on the books of the Company.
Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full dividend and other ownership rights
with respect to such Option Shares, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

2

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the
Expiration Date, including such date as is contemplated by Section 5
hereof.

 

3.                                      Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee
and is not transferable by the Optionee in any manner. This Stock Option may be
exercised only by the Optionee. This Stock Option may not be sold,
assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by Optionee. This
Stock Option shall not be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment,
execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof
shall be null and void.

 

4.                                      Adjustment Upon Changes in
Capitalization. The
shares of stock covered by this Stock Option are shares of Common Stock of the
Company. Subject to Section 5 hereof, if the shares of Common Stock as a
whole are increased, decreased, changed or converted into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or securities of the Company or any
successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), whether through merger or
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock
split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure
or the like, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in the
number and kind of shares and in the per share exercise price of shares subject
to any unexercised portion of this Stock Option. In the event of any such
adjustment in this Stock Option, the Optionee thereafter shall have the right,
subject to Section 5, to purchase the number of shares under this Stock
Option at the per share price, as so adjusted, which the Optionee could
purchase at the total purchase price applicable to this Stock Option
immediately prior to such adjustment, all references herein to Common Stock
shall be deemed to refer to the security that is subject to acquisition upon
exercise of this Stock Option and all references to the Company shall be deemed
to refer to the issuer of such security. Adjustments under this Section 4
shall be determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination as to what
adjustment shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be conclusive. No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued here resulting from any such
adjustment, but the Company in its discretion may make a cash payment in
lieu of fractional shares.

 

5.                                      Effect of Certain
Transactions.
Notwithstanding anything in Section 4 to the contrary, in the case of (a) the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (b) the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an
another person or entity, (c) a merger, reorganization or consolidation in
which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately prior
to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power of
the surviving or resulting entity immediately upon completion of such
transaction, (d) the sale of all of the outstanding stock of the Company
to an unrelated person or entity or (e) any other transaction where the
owners of the Company’s outstanding voting power prior to such transaction do
not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the relevant
entity after the transaction (in each case, a “Sale Event”), this Stock Option
shall terminate on the effective date of such transaction or event, unless
provision is made in such transaction in the sole discretion of the parties
thereto for the assumption or continuation by the Company of this Stock Option
or the substitution for this Stock Option of a new stock option of the
successor person or entity or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate
adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and the per share exercise
price, as provided in Section 4 of this

 

3

 

Agreement.
In the event of any transaction which will result in such termination, the
Company shall give to the Optionee written notice thereof prior to the
effective date of such transaction. Until such effective date, the Optionee may exercise
any portion of this Stock Option, but after such effective date, the Optionee may not
exercise this Stock Option unless it is assumed or substituted by the successor
entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof) as provided above.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5,
in the event of a Sale Event pursuant to which holders of the Stock of the
Company will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share
surrendered in the Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the Optionee in exchange
for the cancellation hereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the
value as determined by the Board of Directors of the consideration payable per
share of Common Stock pursuant to the Sale Event (the “Sale Price”) times the
number of shares of Stock subject to this Stock Option (to the extent then
exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate
exercise price of this Stock Option.

 

6.                                      Withholding Taxes. The Optionee is not a U.S. Resident or a
U.S. Citizen on the date of Grant, or on the date that this Stock Option
vested. The Company agrees to review with tax counsel (agreed to by the Optionee)
the appropriate federal, state and local tax withholdings required immediately
prior to the Optionee exercising this Stock Option. The Optionee shall, not
later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option becomes a
taxable event for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make
arrangements satisfactory to the Board of Directors for payment of any federal,
state and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable
event. Subject to approval by the Board of Directors, the Optionee may elect
to have such tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by
authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Common Stock to be issued or
transferring to the Company, a number of shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due. For
purposes of this Section 6 “Fair Market Value” on any given date means the
last reported sale price at which Common Stock is traded on such date or, if no
Common Stock is traded on such date, the next preceding date on which Common
Stock was traded, as reflected on the principal stock exchange or, if
applicable, any other national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is
traded or admitted to trading. The Optionee and the Executive acknowledge and
agree that the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has the right to deduct
from payments of any kind due to the Optionee or the Executive, or from the
Option Shares to be issued in respect of an exercise of this Stock Option, any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the issuance of Option Shares to the Optionee.

 

7.                                      Representations, warranties
and covenants of the Optionee. The Optionee and the Executive each represent, warrant and covenant
to the Company, both as of the date hereof and upon exercise of this Stock
Option from time to time, as follows:

 

(a)                                  Securities Law Representations and
Warranties.

 

(i)                                     Each of the Optionee and the Executive (i) is

the knowledge, sophistication and experience necessary to make, and is qualified
to make decisions with

total loss of its investment in this Stock Option and the Common Stock and (iv) has
requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant
in making an informed decision to purchase this Stock Option and the Common
Stock;

 

(ii)                                  The Optionee is acquiring this Option or
the Option Shares, as appropriate, for its own account for investment only and
not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or
distribution thereof;

 

(iii)                               The Optionee was not organized for the
specific purpose of acquiring this Stock Option or the Option Shares;

 

(iv)                              The Optionee will not, directly or
indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit
any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) this
Option any of the Option Shares except in compliance with the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), applicable state securities laws and
the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

 

(v)                                 The Optionee understands that this Option
and the Option Shares are being offered and sold to the Optionee in reliance on
specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States
federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the
truth and accuracy of, and the Optionee’s compliance with, representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of the Optionee set
forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the
eligibility of the Optionee to acquire this Option and the Option Shares;

 

(vi)                              The Optionee acknowledges that the
Company has represented that no action has been or will be taken in any

offering of this Option and the Option Shares, or possession or distribution of
offering materials in connection with the issue of this Option and the Option
Shares, in any jurisdiction outside the United States where action for that
purpose is required. If the Optionee is located or domiciled outside the United
States it agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each
foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers this
Option and the Option Shares or has in its possession or distributes any
offering material, in all cases at its own expense;

 

(b)                                 Legends.

end of the applicable holding period under Rule 144(k) of the Securities
Act (or any successor provision) the Option Shares shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT
BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS

 

5

ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN
COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

 

(c)                                  Optionee understands that the Company
has, at the direction of the Executive, issued this Stock Option in the name of
Optionee on the understanding that Executive is the sole beneficial owner of
the equity interests of Optionee. Executive and Optionee each covenant to the
Company that the equity interests of
Optionee will not be transferred, directly or indirectly, to any other party,
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
