               laws of Nevada, having its principal offices located at 3rd Floor
               Olde Town Marina, Sandyport, Nassau, Bahamas

               ("TDNT")

AND:

               CONTINENTAL INGREDIENTS CANADA INC., a company incorporated under
               the laws of Ontario, having its principal offices located at 1170
               Invicta Drive, Oakville, Ontario, L6H 6G1

               ("CIC")

WHEREAS TDNT intends to  commercialize  nutritional  supplements  and functional
food and beverage  products  under its Everlast  Sports  Nutrition(R)  trademark
(collectively  the  "PRODUCTS")  for direct response sales in the North American
market;

AND WHEREAS TDNT wishes to engage CIC on an exclusive basis to provide  services
with  respect  to the  development,  manufacture  and  supply  of the  Products,
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

THEREFORE the parties covenant and agree as follows:

1.   SERVICES

1.1  TDNT hereby exclusively retains CIC, and CIC agrees, to furnish to TDNT the
     services described generally in Exhibit A to this Agreement,  which Exhibit
     forms an integral  part of this  Agreement  (the  "Services").  The parties
     recognize  that  Exhibit A is not  intended  to  describe  the  Services in
     complete detail,  but rather, to define the general scope and nature of the
     Services.

1.2  CIC will,  from time to time,  submit to TDNT, for its approval,  proposals
     for  the  production  of  one  or  more  of  the  Products,  setting  forth
     objectives,  proposed  actions and schedules  for the  Services.  Once such
     proposals  are approved by TDNT,  and CIC has agreed to any  specifications
     for the Products  provided by TDNT, the parties shall enter into a separate
     production   agreement   with   respect  to  the  Product  (a   "Production
     Agreement"),  which  Production  Agreement  will,  amongst  other  matters,
     contain terms for manufacturing, pricing and distribution of the Products.

1.3  CIC  covenants  and agrees that it shall perform all Services in a diligent
     and  professional  manner,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this
     Agreement and any applicable Production Agreements.

1.4  TDNT  covenants and agrees that during the term of this  Agreement it shall
     not engage another party other than CIC or its  Associates,  to provide the
     Services  with  respect  to the  Products.  Subject  to  section  5 (TDNT's
     Intellectual Property Rights), nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
     to limit the rights of CIC to provide  services  similar to the Services to
     any other party.

1.5  This Agreement shall not be construed to limit either party's right to deal
     with any other  vendors,  suppliers,  sellers  or  customers  in respect of
     matters other than the manufacture, supply, distribution or purchase of the
     Products.

2.   TERM AND TERMINATION

2.1  The initial term of this Agreement shall be five (5) years,  commencing May
     5,  2014,  2014 and ending May 5,  2019.  The term of this  Agreement  will
     automatically renew for further consecutive twelve (12) month periods on an
     ongoing basis,  unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions
     of this  Agreement,  upon the same terms and  conditions as set out herein,
     unless either party  delivers to the other a termination  notice in writing
     at least six (6) months prior to the  expiration of the initial term or any
     renewal period.

     breach or  violation  within  thirty (30)  business  days after  receipt of
     written notice from the other party describing the breach or violation.

2.3  Without restricting any right or remedy otherwise available to the parties,
     this  Agreement may be terminated on notice to the other party if the other
     party  ceases  to  do  business,  becomes  bankrupt,  takes  any  steps  or
     proceeding  available to it for the benefit of insolvent  debtors,  becomes
     insolvent or takes any step or proceeding for its dissolution or winding up
     including the appointment of a receiver.

3.   PRODUCTION AGREEMENT

3.1  Each Production  Agreement  shall provide details  regarding the pricing of
     the  Product(s)  and the parties  acknowledge  that it is intended that the
     pricing of the Products  will result in a gross margin to CIC of between 20
     to 30 percent.  The Production  Agreements  shall also set forth provisions
     for  the   establishment  of  appropriate   accounting   systems  for  cash

          parties;

     (c)  TDNT shall  keep the  Products  separate  and in good  condition  as a
          fiduciary of CIC, clearly showing CIC's ownership of the Products;

     (d)  CIC shall be entitled to inspect the  Products  and may recover all or
          any part  thereof  at any time from TDNT of any  Products  that are in

          may enter upon any land or building  upon or in which the Products are
          situated;

     (e)  TDNT shall have the right to dispose of the  Products  (as  between it
          and its customers only), upon payment for same to CIC, as principal in
          the ordinary  course of its business  provided that where TDNT is paid
          by its customers  TDNT holds the proceeds of sale to the extent of the
          amount owing by TDNT to CIC at the time of receipt of such proceeds in
          trust for CIC and does not mix those proceeds with any other monies.

     (f)  under no circumstances shall CIC be liable to TDNT for any expenses or
          any damage that TDNT may incur or suffer while acting as the bailee of
          CIC.

     (a)  TDNT's  designated  employees  or agents shall have the right to enter
          CIC's  production  facility at reasonable times on prior notice to CIC
          to be present  for an  inspection,  supervised  and  conducted  by CIC
          personnel,  of the  facility,  the  Products,  the  materials  and any

                                       3

ARTICLE III.    
GRANTING OF OPTIONS AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK
Section 3.1    Eligibility.  Non-Qualified Stock Options may be granted to Service Providers.  Subject to Section 3.2, Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Employees.  
Section 3.2    Qualification of Incentive Stock Options.  No Employee may be granted an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan if such Employee, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any then existing Subsidiary of the Company or “parent corporation” (within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code) unless such Incentive Stock Option conforms to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.  
Section 3.3    Granting of Options to Service Providers 
(a)    The Administrator may from time to time:
(i)    Select from among the Service Providers (including those to whom Options have been previously granted under the Plan) such of them as in its opinion should be granted Options;
(ii)    Determine the number of Shares to be subject to such Options granted to such Service Provider, and determine whether such Options are to be Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options; and
(iii)    Determine the terms and conditions of such Options.
(b)    Upon the selection of a Service Provider to be granted an Option pursuant to subsection (a), the Administrator shall instruct the Secretary or another authorized Officer to issue such Option and may impose such conditions on the grant of such Option as it deems appropriate.  Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Administrator may, subject to applicable securities laws, require as a condition to the grant of an Option to a Service Provider that the Service Provider surrender for cancellation all or a portion of the unexercised Options which have previously been granted to him or her.  An Option the grant of which is conditioned upon such surrender may have an Option exercise price lower (or higher) than the Option exercise price of the surrendered Option, may cover the same (or a lesser or greater) number of Shares as the surrendered Option, may contain such other terms as the Administrator 

7

deems appropriate and shall be exercisable in accordance with its terms, without regard to the number of Shares, price, period of exercisability or any other term or condition of the surrendered Option.  Subject to Section 8.3 of the Plan, any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan may be modified by the Administrator, without the consent of the Optionee, even if such modification would result in the disqualification of such Option as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. 
Section 3.4        Sale of Common Stock to Service Providers
The Administrator, acting in its sole discretion, may from time to time designate one or more Service Providers to whom an offer to sell Shares shall be made and the terms and conditions thereof.  Each Share sold to a Service Provider under this Section 3.4 shall be evidenced by a written stock purchase agreement in a form approved by an authorized Officer of the Company, which shall contain terms consistent with the terms hereof.  Any Common Stock sold under this Section 3.4 shall be subject to the same limitations, restrictions and administration hereunder as would apply to any Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option under this Plan including, but not limited to, conditions and restrictions set forth in Section 5.5 hereunder.  Shares acquired pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall also be subject to the terms and conditions of a Stockholders Agreement.
ARTICLE IV.     
TERMS OF OPTIONS
Section 4.1    Award Agreement
(a)    Each Option shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement (“Award Agreement”), which shall be executed by the Optionee and an authorized Officer and which shall contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine.  Award Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to qualify such Options as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code.
(b)    The Administrator at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more existing Award Agreements; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of this Plan, the rights of an Optionee under an Award Agreement shall not be adversely impaired in any material respect without the Optionee’s written consent.  The Company shall provide an Optionee with written notice of any amendment made to such Optionee’s existing Award Agreement.  
Section 4.2    Exercisability and Vesting of Options
(a)    Each Option shall become exercisable according to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that, by a resolution adopted after an Option is granted, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, accelerate the time at which such Option or any portion thereof may be exercised.

8

(b)    Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or as determined by the Administrator, no portion of an Option which is unexercisable on the date that an Optionee incurs a termination of service as a Service Provider shall thereafter become exercisable.
(c)    The aggregate Fair Market Value of all Shares (determined as of the time the Option is granted) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Service Provider in any calendar year, together with the fair market value of all shares of other stock of the Company or its Subsidiary with respect to which incentive stock options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year, may not exceed $100,000 or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision.  To the extent that any portion of an Incentive Stock Option becomes first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered a Non-Qualified Stock Option.  
Section 4.3    Option Price.      The per Share purchase price of the Shares subject to each Option (the “Option Price”) shall be set by the Administrator.  The Option Price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share.  With respect to Incentive Stock Options, in the case of an individual then owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the Option Price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.
Section 4.4    Expiration of Options
No Option may be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:
(a)    The expiration of ten years from the date the Option was granted; or
(b)    With respect to an Incentive Stock Option in the case of an Optionee owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the time the Incentive Stock Option was granted, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the expiration of five years from the date the Incentive Stock Option was granted.

During the lifetime of the Optionee, only he or she may exercise an Option (or any portion thereof granted to him or her); provided, however, that the Optionee’s Eligible Representative may exercise his or her Option during the period of the Optionee’s Disability.  After the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion of an Option may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by his or her Eligible Representative.
Section 5.2    Partial Exercise.  At any time and from time to time prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, the exercisable portion of an Option may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to issue fractional Shares and the Administrator may, by the terms of the Option, require any partial exercise to exceed a specified minimum number of Shares not to exceed 100 Shares.
Section 5.3    Manner of Exercise.  An exercisable Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the Secretary of all of the following prior to the time when such Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement:

(i)    With the consent of the Administrator or except as otherwise set forth under the applicable Award Agreement, (A) Shares owned by the Optionee duly endorsed for transfer to the Company; or (B) Shares issuable to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option, with a Fair Market Value on the date of Option exercise equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Shares with respect to which such Option (or portion thereof) is thereby exercised; or
(ii)    With the consent of the Administrator, any form of payment permitted by Applicable Laws and any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; 
(d)    The payment to the Company (in cash or by personal, certified or bank cashier check or by any other means of payment approved by the Administrator) of all minimum 

10

amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and local tax withholding requirements arising in connection with the exercise of the Option;
(e)    Such representations and documents as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations.  The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance including, without limitation, placing legends on Share certificates and issuing stop-transfer orders to transfer agents and registrars; and
(f)    In the event that the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised as permitted under Section 5.1 by any person or persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option or portion thereof.
Section 5.4    Optionee Representations. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may require an Optionee to make certain representations or acknowledgements, on or prior to the purchase of any Shares pursuant to any Option granted under this Plan, in respect thereof including, without limitation, that the Optionee is acquiring the Shares for an investment purpose and not for resale, and, if the Optionee is an Affiliate, additional acknowledgements regarding when and to what extent any transfers of such Shares may occur.    
Section 5.5    Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates.  The Shares issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of an Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares or issued Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company, subject to Section 2.1(b).  A certificate of Shares will be delivered to the Optionee at the Company’s principal place of business as soon as practicable after the Option is properly exercised or the Company may, in the Administrator’s discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as the Administrator deems appropriate.  Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares purchased upon the exercise of any Option or portion thereof prior to the payment to the Company (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) of all amounts which it is required to withhold under applicable law in connection with the exercise of the Option.  In lieu of the delivery of certificates, evidence of ownership in the Shares may be evidenced by the book-entry method. The Administrator shall not have any liability to any Optionee for any delay in the delivery of Shares to be issued upon an Optionee’s exercise of an Option.
Section 5.6    Rights as Stockholders. The holder of an Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part of an Option unless and until such holder has signed a Stockholders Agreement provided by the Administrator and certificates representing such Shares have been issued by the Company to such holder or an appropriate book-entry has been made.
Section 5.7    Transfer Restrictions.  Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of a Stockholders Agreement.  In addition, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose further restrictions on the transferability of the Shares purchasable upon the exercise of an Option as it deems appropriate.  Any such restriction shall be 

11

set forth in the respective Award Agreement and may be referred to on the certificates evidencing such Shares.  The Administrator may require the Employee to give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, within two years from the date of granting such Option or one year after the transfer of such Shares to such Employee.  The Administrator may direct that the certificates evidencing Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option refer to such requirement.

(b)    Issuance and Restrictions.  Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Administrator may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock).  These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, pursuant to such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter.  
(c)    Forfeiture.  Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon the holder of Restricted Stock incurring a termination of service as a Service Provider during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to vesting restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that, the Administrator may (i) provide in any Restricted Stock Award Agreement that vesting restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations of service resulting from specified causes and (ii) in other cases waive in whole or in part vesting restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock.  
(d)    Certificates for Restricted Stock.  Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator shall determine.  If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse or until such other time as the Administrator deems appropriate.  The Administrator shall not have any liability to any holder of Restricted Stock for any delay in the delivery of Shares issued in respect of such Restricted Stock.
Section 6.2        Restricted Stock Units.  The Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock Units to any Service Provider selected by the Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator.  At the time of

grant, the Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate.  At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the grantee.  As soon as administratively practicable following the maturity date, the Company shall, subject to the terms of this Plan, transfer to the Participant one Share for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited.  The Administrator shall specify the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the grantee to the Company for such Shares.

ARTICLE VIII.     
OTHER PROVISIONS
Section 8.1    Changes in Common Stock; Disposition of Assets and Corporate Events
(a)    In the event that the Administrator determines that any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition, disposition, extraordinary dividend, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, 

14

dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or any disposition of all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of the Company, exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, the acquisition or disposition of any material assets or business or other similar corporate transaction or event, which in the Administrator’s sole discretion, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment to the Awards or Plan is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Award, then the Administrator may, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of:
(i)    The number and kind of Shares (or other securities or property) with respect to which an Award may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 2.1 on the maximum number and kind of Shares which may be issued);
(ii)    The number and kind of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards;
(iii)    The grant or exercise price per Share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan; and
(iv)    The terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable financial or other performance “targets” specified in each Award Agreement).
(b)    Upon the occurrence of a Corporate Event, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under this Plan, (y) facilitate such Corporate Event or (z) give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or accounting principles:
(i)    In its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Administrator may provide, either by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Event, and either automatically or upon the Participant’s request, for either (A) the purchase or cancellation of any outstanding Award for an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of the portion of such Award that was vested and exercisable (and such additional portion of the Award as the Administrator may determine) immediately prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Event or (B) the replacement of such vested (and other) portion of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;
(ii)    In its sole discretion, the Administrator may provide, either by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Event, that the Award (or any portion thereof) will terminate upon the occurrence of 

15

such Corporate Event and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such Corporate Event;
(iii)    In its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Administrator may provide, either by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Event, that for a specified period of time prior to such Corporate Event, such Award shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby or a specified portion of such Shares, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in (A) Section 4.2 or (B) the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement;
(iv)    In its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Administrator may provide, either by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Event, that upon such Corporate Event, such Award (or any portion thereof) be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or Awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; and
(v)    In its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Administrator may make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to the Plan and outstanding Awards (or any portion thereof) and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards and Awards which may be granted in the future.
For the avoidance of doubt, in taking any of the actions permitted under this subsection (b), the Administrator shall not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.
(c)    In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 8.1(a) and 8.1(b), the Administrator will equitably adjust each outstanding Award, which adjustments may include adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and/or the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, the grant of new Awards to Participants, and/or the making of a cash payment to Participants, as the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring.  The adjustments provided under this Section 8.1(c) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company; provided that whether an adjustment is equitable shall be determined in the discretion of the Administrator.  
(d)    The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award Agreement or Stockholders Agreement as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(e)    To the extent required by the terms of an Award Agreement, the Company shall notify the Participant prior to the date of a Corporate Event. 

16

Section 8.2        Awards Not Transferable.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Administrator, no Award or interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall prevent transfers by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
Section 8.3    Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan or Award Agreements
(a)    The Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator.  
(b)    Except as provided by Section 8.1, neither the amendment, suspension nor termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of the Award, materially and adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted.  Except as provided by Section 8.1, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more existing Award Agreements, provided, however, that the rights of a Participant under an Award Agreement shall not be materially adversely impaired without the Participant’s written consent.  The Company shall provide a Participant with notice of any amendment made to such Participant’s existing Award Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.3(b).  
(c)    No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and in no event may any Award be granted under this Plan after the expiration of ten years from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the Company’s stockholders, whichever is earlier.
Section 8.4    Stockholder Approval.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) below, in the event that it shall be determined that any right to receive an Award, payment or other benefit under this Plan (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the vesting and/or exercisability of an Award and taking into account the effect of this Section) to or for the benefit of the Participant (the “Payments”), would not be deductible, in whole or part when aggregated with any other right, payment or benefit to or for the Participant under all other agreements or benefit plans of the Company, by the Company or the Person making such payment or distribution or providing such right or benefit as a result of Section 280G of the Code, then, to the extent necessary to make the Payments deductible to the maximum extent possible (but only to such extent and after taking into account any reduction in the Payments relating to Section 280G of the Code under any other plan, arrangement or agreement), the Award held by the Participant or any other right, payment or benefit under this Plan shall not become exercisable, vested or paid.  For purposes of determining whether any of the Payments would not be deductible as a result of Section 280G of the Code and the amount of such disallowed deduction, all Payments will be treated as 

17

“parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as nondeductible, unless and except to the extent that in the opinion of a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accountants”), such Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments,” including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code, or are otherwise not subject to disallowance as a deduction.  All determinations required to be made under this subsection (a), including whether and which of the Payments are required to be reduced, the amount of such reduction and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Accountants.
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the provisions of subsection (a) above shall not apply to reduce the Payments if the Payments that would otherwise be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code are disclosed to and approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the 280G Regulations.
(c)    The Company shall prepare and deliver to its stockholders the disclosure required by Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code with respect to the Payments and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to subsection (b) above.
Section 8.5    Effect of Plan Upon Other Award and Compensation Plans.  The adoption of this Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Service Providers or (b) to grant or assume options or restricted stock otherwise than under this Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose, including, but not by way of limitation, the grant or assumption of options or restricted stock in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, firm or association.

18

Section 8.6    At-Will Employment.  Nothing in the Plan, the Stockholders Agreement or any Award Agreement hereunder shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue as a Service Provider for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge any Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written employment agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  
Section 8.7    Stockholder Approval. This Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders within twelve months of the date of the Board’s initial adoption of this Plan.  
Section 8.8    Titles.  Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the Plan.
Section 8.9    Conformity to Securities Laws.  The Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated under any of the foregoing, to the extent the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Participant is subject to the provisions thereof.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and Awards shall be granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.
Section 8.10    Governing Law.  To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of law principles of any jurisdiction.
Section 8.11    Severability.  In the event any portion of the Plan or any action taken pursuant thereto shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included, and the illegal or invalid action shall be null and void.
Section 8.12    Governing Documents.  In the event of any contradiction between the Plan and any Award Agreement or any other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that has been approved by the Administrator, the terms of the Plan shall govern, unless it is expressly specified in such Award Agreement or other written document that a specific provision of the Plan shall not apply.
Section 8.13    Section 409A.  To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or 

19

other guidance that may be issued after the adoption of the Plan.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the adoption of the Plan, the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the adoption of the Plan), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.  No provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A from a Participant or any other individual to the Company or any of its Affiliates, employees or agents.
