Certain statements in this report, including information incorporated by reference, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and financial performance based on certain assumptions. They include opinions, forecasts, intentions, plans, goals, projections, guidance, expectations, beliefs or other statements that are not statements of historical fact. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “approximates,” “predicts,” or “projects,” or the negative or other variation of such words, and similar expressions may identify a statement as a forward-looking statement. Any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our business, our goals, strategies, focus and plans, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including statements expressing general optimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this report may include statements about:
 
 	•	 	future financial and operating results, including projections of net sales, revenue, income or loss, net income or loss per share, profit margins, expenditures, liquidity, goodwill valuation and other financial items;	
 
 	•	 	our ability to develop relationships with new customers and maintain or improve existing customer relationships;	
 
 	•	 	future levels of our revenue concentration risk;	
 
 	•	 	development of new products, brands and marketing strategies;	
 
 	•	 	the effect of the discontinuance of Dr. Cherry’s television program and our ability to develop a new marketing plan for, and to sustain, our Pathway to Healing ®  product line;	
 
 	•	 	distribution channels, product sales and performance, and timing of product shipments;	
 
 	•	 	inventories and the adequacy and intended use of our facilities;	
 
 	•	 	current or future customer orders;	
 
 	•	 	the impact on our business and results of operations and variations in quarterly net sales from cost reduction programs, seasonal and other factors;	
 
 	•	 	management’s goals and plans for future operations;	
 
 	•	 	our ability to improve operational efficiencies, manage costs and business risks and improve or maintain profitability;	
 
 	•	 	growth, expansion, diversification, acquisition, divestment and consolidation strategies, the success of such strategies, and the benefits we believe can be derived from such strategies;	
 
 	•	 	personnel;	
 
 	•	 	the outcome of regulatory, tax and litigation matters;	
 
 	•	 	our ability to operate within the standards set by the Food and Drug Administration’s Good Manufacturing Practices;	
 
 	•	 	sources and availability of raw materials;	
 
 	•	 	operations outside the United States (U.S.);	
 
 	•	 	the adequacy of reserves and allowances;	
 
 	•	 	overall industry and market performance;	
 
 	•	 	competition and competitive advantages resulting from our quality commitment;	
 
 	•	 	current and future economic and political conditions;	
 
 	•	 	the impact of accounting pronouncements; and	
 
 	•	 	other assumptions described in this report underlying or relating to any forward-looking statements.	
The forward-looking statements in this report speak only as of the date of this report and caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain events, risks, and uncertainties that may be outside of our control. When considering forward-looking statements, you should carefully review the risks, uncertainties and other cautionary statements in this report as they identify certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the risks described under Item 1A of Part II and elsewhere in this report, as well as in other reports and documents we file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to the “Company,” “NAI,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Natural Alternatives International, Inc. and, as applicable, Natural Alternatives International Europe S.A. (NAIE), and our other wholly owned subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
A. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules and regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
You should read the financial statements and these notes, which are an integral part of the financial statements, together with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (“2009 Annual Report”). The accounting policies used to prepare the financial statements included in this report are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2009 Annual Report unless otherwise noted below.
Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2009 and through February 16, 2010, the date these financial statements were filed with the SEC as part of this report.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
We compute net income per common share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net income per common share using the additional dilutive effect of all dilutive securities. The dilutive impact of stock options account for the additional weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for our diluted net income per common share computation. We calculated basic and diluted net income per common share as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Shares related to stock options representing the right to acquire 415,354 shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2009, and 487,815 shares for the six months ended December 31, 2009, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Shares related to stock options representing the right to acquire 879,492 shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2008, and 973,096 shares for the six months ended December 31, 2008, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
We have a new omnibus incentive plan that was approved by our Board of Directors effective as of October 15, 2009 and approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on November 30, 2009. Under the plan, we may grant nonqualified and incentive stock options and other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2009, no awards had been granted under the plan. Our prior equity incentive plan was terminated effective as of November 30, 2009. We also had an employee stock purchase plan that was terminated effective as of June 30, 2009.

Table of Contents
We estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant and estimated employee stock purchase plan shares at the beginning of the offering period using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Black-Scholes uses assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which we assume to be zero, as we have not paid any cash dividends) and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities used in the model are based mainly on the historical volatility of our stock price. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect in the period of grant. The expected life of stock option grants is derived from historical experience.
Our net income included stock based compensation expense of approximately $69,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and approximately $112,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009. Our net loss included stock based compensation expense of approximately $112,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and approximately $181,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial statements include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. We believe the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities in the financial statements approximate the fair values of these financial instruments at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
We use a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. We classify cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances as Level 1 assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated, either directly or indirectly by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These include certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. As of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, we did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as Level 2 or 3.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
During the first quarter of 2010, we adopted the new Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The ASC has become the source of authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The ASC is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP. The adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
B. Discontinued Operations
In an effort to enhance stockholder value, improve working capital and enable us to focus on our core contract manufacturing business, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 we undertook a careful review of our branded products portfolio and operations. As a result, we decided to narrow our branded products focus and portfolio and developed a plan to do so, which included a decision to sell the legacy business of Real Health Laboratories (RHL). On August 4, 2008, RHL sold certain assets related to its catalog and internet business conducted under the name “As We Change ® ” to Miles Kimball Company for a cash purchase price of $2.3 million. We recorded a loss of $226,000 as a result of this sale and recognized $221,000 in severance and related payroll costs during fiscal 2009.
On July 29, 2009, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with PharmaCare US Inc. and PharmaCare Laboratories Pty Ltd. for the sale of substantially all of the remaining assets of RHL related to its wholesale and direct-to-consumer business. The sale closed on July 31, 2009 for a cash purchase price of $500,000. NAI provided a guarantee of RHL’s indemnity obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, which potential liability is capped at the amount of the purchase price paid by the buyers to RHL. We recorded a loss of $6,000 as a result of this sale during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. RHL has agreed to provide certain transition services and support to the buyers for a period of up to six months and will receive an amount equal to $9,000 per month for such services. Following the sale of substantially all of the assets of RHL, we changed the name of RHL to Disposition Company, Inc.

Table of Contents
As part of the original Asset Purchase Agreement, we had the potential to receive up to an additional $500,000 from the buyers as a conditional earn-out if the RHL business acquired by the buyers met or exceeded certain budgeted profitability criteria during the period August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010. Effective as of February 12, 2010, based on the loss of one or more customers, the results of operation of the RHL business since the closing date of the sale, the anticipated results of operation of the RHL business through July 31, 2010, and the corresponding anticipated reduction and or elimination in the conditional earn-out amount, and in an effort to avoid the time and expense associated with the procedures required in connection with the earn-out, including, without limitation, the time and expense associated with the preparation of the required reports and a review of the books and records of PharmaCare US and PharmaCare Australia, we amended the Asset Purchase Agreement to eliminate the potential earn-out compensation.
As a result of our decision to sell the legacy RHL business, we initiated an operational consolidation program during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 that transitioned the remaining branded products business operations to our corporate offices. We substantially completed this operational consolidation program as of September 30, 2008. The program resulted in a charge to discontinued operations of $820,000 in severance and other business related exit costs during the six months ended December 31, 2008.
As the plan to dispose of the legacy RHL business met the criteria of accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the current and prior periods presented in this report have been reclassified to reflect the legacy RHL business as discontinued operations.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, RHL’s wholesale operation experienced a decline in sales activity from one of its largest customers as a result of the discontinuance of certain RHL product lines. Historically these product sales represented a significant portion of RHL’s overall annual sales to this customer. Additionally, during this same period we received feedback from multiple parties related to their preliminary interest in acquiring the then remaining RHL operations. Due in part to the expected decline in future RHL sales as noted above and the current depressed worldwide economic conditions, the preliminary purchase price valuations provided by these third parties provided us with an indication that an impairment of the RHL net asset carrying values may exist.
We performed an analysis that compared the fair value of RHL’s net assets as indicated by the third party purchase price valuations noted above to the current carrying amounts to determine if an impairment of value was evident. As a result of this analysis, we determined that as of the related measurement date the book value of RHL’s net assets exceeded the fair value by approximately $1.8 million and recorded an impairment charge for this amount to discontinued operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

E. Debt
We have a bank credit facility of $8.2 million as of December 31, 2009, comprised of a $7.5 million working capital line of credit and $675,000 in outstanding term loans. The working capital line of credit has a maturity date of November 1, 2010 and is secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, has a fluctuating or fixed interest rate as elected by NAI from time to time and borrowings are subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances. As of December 31, 2009, the outstanding balances on the term loans consisted of a $170,000, 15 year term loan due June 2011, secured by our San Marcos building, at an interest rate of 8.25%; and a $505,000, 10 year term loan due May 2014 with a twenty year amortization, secured by our San Marcos building, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. Monthly payments on the term loans are approximately $98,000 plus interest. As of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, our working capital line of credit balance was zero.
On December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants required under our facility.
On September 22, 2006, NAIE, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility to provide it with a credit line of up to CHF 1.3 million, or approximately $1.3 million, which is the initial maximum aggregate amount that can be outstanding at any one time under the credit facility. This maximum amount was reduced by CHF 160,000, or approximately $154,000, as of December 31, 2007, and was reduced an additional CHF 160,000, or approximately $154,000, as of December 31, 2008, and will be reduced by an additional CHF 160,000 at the end of each succeeding calendar year. On February 19, 2007, NAIE amended its credit facility to provide that the maximum aggregate amount that may be outstanding under the facility cannot be reduced below CHF 500,000, or approximately $482,000. As of December 31, 2009, there was no outstanding balance under the credit facility.
Under its credit facility, NAIE may draw amounts either as current account loan credits to its current or future bank accounts or as fixed loans with a maximum term of 24 months. Current account loans will bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Fixed loans will bear interest at a rate determined by the parties based on current market conditions and must be repaid pursuant to a repayment schedule established by the parties at the time of the loan. If a fixed loan is repaid early at NAIE’s election or in connection with the termination of the credit facility, NAIE will be charged a pre-payment penalty equal to 0.1% of the principal amount of the fixed loan or CHF 1,000 (approximately $964), whichever is greater. The bank reserves the right to refuse individual requests for an advance under the credit facility, although its exercise of such right will not have the effect of terminating the credit facility as a whole.
The composite interest rate on all of our outstanding debt was 13.69% at December 31, 2009 and 6.70% at December 31, 2008. The composite interest rate includes interest from our term debt, interest from the use of our working capital line of credit, amortization of annual loan fees and loan modification fess, as applicable, divided by the average balance of our outstanding borrowings during the period.
F. Defined Benefit Pension Plan
We sponsor a defined benefit pension plan that provides retirement benefits to employees based generally on years of service and compensation during the last five years before retirement. Effective June 20, 1999, our Board of Directors amended the plan to freeze the accrued benefit of each plan member at its then current amount and to no longer allow inactive plan members or other employees to become active members of the plan. We contribute an amount not less than the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 nor more than the maximum tax-deductible amount.

H. Segment Information
Our business consists of two segments, identified as private label contract manufacturing, which primarily provides private label contract manufacturing services to companies that market and distribute nutritional supplements and other health care products, and branded products, which markets and distributes branded nutritional supplements.
In an effort to enhance stockholder value, improve working capital and enable us to focus on our core contract manufacturing business, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 we developed a plan to narrow our branded products focus and portfolio and to sell our legacy RHL business. On August 4, 2008, RHL sold certain assets related to its catalog and internet business conducted under the name “As We Change ® ” to Miles Kimball Company for a cash purchase price of $2.3 million. We recorded a loss of $226,000 as a result of this sale and recognized $221,000 in severance and related payroll costs during fiscal 2009.
On July 31, 2009, we sold substantially all of the remaining assets of RHL related to its wholesale and direct-to-consumer business to PharmaCare US Inc. and PharmaCare Laboratories Pty Ltd. for a cash purchase price of $500,000. The financial information presented in this report has been reclassified to reflect the legacy RHL business as discontinued operations. We recorded a loss of $6,000 as a result of this sale.
Following the completion of the sale of substantially all of the assets of RHL, our branded products segment consists primarily of the products sold under our Pathway to Healing product line.
We evaluate performance based on a number of factors. The primary performance measures for each segment are net sales and income or loss from operations before corporate allocations. Operating income or loss for each segment does not include corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and other miscellaneous income and expense items. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to: human resources, legal, finance, information technology, and other corporate level related expenses, which are not allocated to either segment. The accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in Note A above and in the consolidated financial statements included in our 2009 Annual Report.

I. Restructuring Costs
During the first six months of fiscal 2009, the continued decline in economic conditions in the United States and the various foreign markets we service negatively impacted our customers’ businesses and our operations. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 we implemented a cost reduction program that resulted in the elimination of certain personnel and business activities. The cost reduction program is expected to reduce the financial impact of the anticipated reduction in future sales. This program resulted in a charge to our operations of $558,000 in severance from a reduction in force during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. All payments related to this cost reduction program were completed by December 31, 2009.
The following table presents the activity and the reserve balance related to this restructuring program for the six months ended December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

J. Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, for each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
During fiscal 2009, we recorded a valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets of $1.8 million, representing the amount of our deferred income tax assets in excess of our deferred income tax liabilities. We recorded the valuation allowance because management was unable to conclude, in light of the cumulative loss we realized related to our US-based operations for the three year period ended June 30, 2009, that realization of the net deferred income tax asset was more likely than not. The valuation allowance recorded during fiscal 2009 primarily related to fiscal 2009 net operating loss carry forwards and changes in other deferred tax items recognized during fiscal 2009. During the six months ended December 31, 2009 we recorded U.S.-based federal tax expense of $382,000, which was fully offset by a release of a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance during the six month period. In addition, during the six months ended December 31, 2009 we recorded US-based state tax expense from continuing operations of $142,000 as a result of our inability to use our state net operating loss carryforwards due to the suspension of loss carryforward deductions by the state of California during fiscal 2010.
As a result of the recognition of these valuation adjustments, we had a $2.0 million gross deferred tax asset offset by a deferred tax liability of $272,000 and a valuation allowance of $1.4 million resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $368,000 as of December 31, 2009. This valuation allowance did not have any affect on the tax expense and related liability recorded for operating income recognized by our foreign subsidiary during the three and six months ended December 31, 2009.
We account for uncertain tax positions using the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, we had not recorded any tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
We are subject to taxation in the United States, Switzerland and various state jurisdictions. Our tax years for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and forward are subject to examination by the United States and state tax authorities and our tax years for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and forward are subject to examination by the Switzerland tax authorities.
We do not record U.S. income tax expense for NAIE’s retained earnings that are declared as indefinitely reinvested offshore, thus reducing our overall income tax expense. The amount of earnings designated as indefinitely reinvested in NAIE is based on the actual deployment of such earnings in NAIE’s assets and our expectations of the future cash needs of our U.S. and foreign entities. Income tax laws are also a factor in determining the amount of foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested offshore.
It is our policy to establish reserves based on management’s assessment of exposure for certain positions taken in previously filed tax returns that may become payable upon audit by tax authorities. The tax reserves are analyzed at least annually, generally in the fourth quarter of each year, and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustments to the reserve.

On November 6, 2009, the President signed into law the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009. This law amended Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code to allow net operating losses realized in either tax year 2008 or 2009 to be carried back up to five years (previously limited to a two-year carryback). We are assessing the impact this new law may have on our financial statements.
K. Contingencies
From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to product liability, employment, intellectual property, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we generally do not believe the resolution of these matters will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could adversely impact our results of operations. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes that we do not expect.
As of February 16, 2010, neither NAI nor its subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of their property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding.
On July 31, 2009 RHL sold substantially all of the remaining assets of RHL related to its wholesale and direct-to-consumer business to PharmaCare US Inc. and PharmaCare Laboratories Pty Ltd. for a cash purchase price of $500,000. NAI provided a guarantee of RHL’s indemnity obligations under the asset purchase agreement, which potential liability is capped at the amount of the purchase price paid by the buyers to RHL.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS	
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 in this report, as well as the risk factors and other information included in our 2009 Annual Report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC. Our future financial condition and results of operations will vary from our historical financial condition and results of operations described below based on a variety of factors.
Executive Overview
The following overview does not address all of the matters covered in the other sections of this Item 2 or other items in this report or contain all of the information that may be important to our stockholders or the investing public. This overview should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Item 2 and this report.
Our primary business activity is providing private label contract manufacturing services to companies that market and distribute vitamins, minerals, herbs and other nutritional supplements, as well as other health care products, to consumers both within and outside the United States. Historically, our revenue has been largely dependent on sales to one or two private label contract manufacturing customers and subject to variations in the timing of such customers’ orders, which in turn is impacted by such customers’ internal marketing programs, supply chain management, entry into new markets, new product introductions and general industry and economic conditions.
A cornerstone of our business strategy is to achieve long-term growth and profitability and to diversify our sales base. We have sought and expect to continue to seek to diversify our sales by developing relationships with additional, quality-oriented, private label contract manufacturing customers, developing and growing our own line of branded products and commercializing our licensed patent estate through contract manufacturing, royalty and sub-license agreements.
In an effort to enhance stockholder value, improve working capital and enable us to focus on our core contract manufacturing business, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 we developed a plan to narrow our branded products focus and portfolio and to sell our legacy RHL business. On August 4, 2008, we sold certain assets related to RHL’s catalog and internet business conducted under the name “As We Change ® ” to Miles Kimball Company for a cash purchase price of $2.3 million. We recorded a loss of $226,000 as a result of this sale and recognized $221,000 in severance and related payroll costs during fiscal 2009.
On July 31, 2009, we sold substantially all of the remaining assets of RHL related to its wholesale and direct-to-consumer business to PharmaCare US Inc. and PharmaCare Laboratories Pty Ltd. for a cash purchase price of $500,000. We had the potential to receive up to an additional $500,000 from the buyers as a conditional earn-out if the RHL business acquired by the buyers met or exceeded certain budgeted profitability criteria during the period August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010. Effective as of February 12, 2010, based on the loss of one or more customers, the results of operation of the RHL business since the closing date of the sale, the anticipated results of operation of the RHL business through July 31, 2010, and the corresponding anticipated reduction and or elimination in the conditional earn-out amount, and in an effort to avoid the time and expense associated with the procedures required in connection with the earn-out, including, without limitation, the time and expense associated with the preparation of the required reports and a review of the books and records of PharmaCare US and PharmaCare Australia, we entered into an agreement with PharmaCare to eliminate the potential earn-out compensation.The financial information presented in this report has been reclassified to reflect the legacy RHL business as discontinued operations. We recorded a loss of $6,000 as a result of this sale.
As a result of our decision to sell the legacy RHL business, we initiated an operational consolidation program during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 that transitioned the remaining branded products business operations to our corporate offices. We substantially completed this operational consolidation program as of September 30, 2008. The program resulted in a charge to discontinued operations of $823,000 in severance and other business related exit costs during fiscal 2009.
During the first six months of fiscal 2010, our net sales from continuing operations were 7.9% lower than in the first six months of fiscal 2009. Private label contract manufacturing sales declined 7.5% due primarily to lower volumes of existing products in existing markets sold to a couple of our largest customers and the discontinuance of a relationship with one of our smaller customers. This decline was partially offset by increased sales to one of our largest customers and income related to our sub-license agreement for the distribution of Beta-Alanine. Net sales from our branded products declined 18.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2010 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2009 due to the continued softening of our Pathway to Healing ®  product line. During fiscal 2010 we intend to further increase our Dr. Cherry marketing and advertising efforts and plan to re-launch the product line in late fiscal 2010 with new formulations, labeling and packaging in an effort to expand our future sales opportunities.
Our revenue concentration risk for our two largest customers increased to 84% as a percentage of our total sales from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal 2010 compared to 77% in the first six months of fiscal 2009. We expect our contract manufacturing revenue concentration percentage for our two largest customers to remain relatively consistent for the remainder of fiscal 2010.

Beginning in fiscal 2008 and continuing through fiscal 2009, we invested substantial time and incurred substantial costs associated with hiring and training new quality assurance and other manufacturing support personnel, increased testing activity, and documentation and validation processes related to our Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) compliance programs. These additional expenses negatively impacted our operating income from continuing operations during fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009. Although the cost of GMP compliance is significant, we believe the majority of our implementation investment costs have been incurred. Going forward, our commitment to quality and our steadfast support of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) mandated GMPs makes us well positioned to operate within the higher standards of such GMPs and we believe differentiates us from our competitors.
During fiscal 2009, the continued decline in economic conditions in the United States and the various foreign markets we service negatively impacted our customers’ businesses and our operations. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 we implemented a cost reduction program that resulted in the elimination of certain personnel and business activities. This program resulted in a charge to our continuing operations of $558,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. During the second half of fiscal 2009, our cost reduction program resulted in a savings of $3.0 million compared to the cost structure in the comparable prior year period. This cost reduction program reduced our operating overhead costs during the first six months of fiscal 2010 by approximately $2.5 million and we expect it will further reduce our remaining fiscal 2010 operating overhead by approximately $600,000 as compared to fiscal 2009.
Following the completion of the sale of substantially all of the assets of RHL, our branded products segment consists primarily of the products sold under our Pathway to Healing ®  product line. Beginning in April 2007, Dr. Cherry ceased airing his weekly television program, which had served as the primary customer acquisition vehicle in marketing the Pathway to Healing ®  product line. While sales of the product line have been primarily generated by continuity orders from long-standing repeat customers, the loss of the television program has had a negative impact on our ability to acquire new customers and retain existing customers. During fiscal 2009, we revamped our Dr. Cherry website and increased our direct-to-consumer marketing and advertising efforts. These activities helped reduce the decline in our Dr. Cherry sales volumes during the second half of fiscal 2009. During the remainder of fiscal 2010, we intend to further increase our Dr. Cherry marketing and advertising efforts and continue working with Dr. Cherry to evaluate alternative sales growth initiatives to support the product line.
During the remainder of fiscal 2010, we plan to continue to focus on:
 
 	•	 	Leveraging our state of the art, certified facilities to increase the value of the goods and services we provide to our highly valued private label contract manufacturing customers, and assist us in developing relationships with additional quality oriented customers;	
 
 	•	 	Implementing focused initiatives to grow our Pathway to Healing® product line;	
 
 	•	 	Commercializing our licensed patent estate through contract manufacturing, royalties and sublicense agreements and protecting our proprietary rights; and	
 
 	•	 	Improving operational efficiencies and managing costs and business risks to improve profitability.	
Looking forward, as a result of continued uncertain near-term economic conditions, anticipated reduced sales volumes combined with lower pricing programs from our largest customers we expect net sales and net operating income from continuing operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 to be lower than the comparable prior year period.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and their accompanying notes. We have identified certain policies that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These policies require the application of significant judgment by our management. We base our estimates on our historical experience, industry standards, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. An adverse effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations could occur if circumstances change that alter the various assumptions or conditions used in such estimates or assumptions.
Our critical accounting policies are discussed under Item 7 of our 2009 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended December 31, 2009.

Other customers(3)	  	(10	) 	 	(8	) 	
 	  	 	 	 	 	 	
Total	  	(2	)% 	 	(7	)% 	

1	Net sales to Mannatech, Incorporated increased primarily as a result of higher volumes of established and new products in existing markets along with a shift in sales mix to higher priced products.	
 
2	The decrease in net sales to NSA International, Inc. (NSA) for the three months ended December 31, 2009 included a decrease in international sales of 1.7% and a decline in domestic sales of 19.6%. The decrease in net sales to NSA International, Inc. for the six months ended December 31, 2009 included a decrease in international sales of 6.9% and a decline in domestic sales of 17.6%. These sales declines were due to lower demand by NSA’s consumers, lower average sales prices, and NSA’s inventory management program.	
 
3	The decrease in net sales to other customers was primarily related to the discontinuance of a customer relationship and timing of shipments during the first half of fiscal 2010 as compared to the prior year period offset by royalty income related to our sub-license agreement for the distribution of Beta-Alanine.	
Net sales from our branded products segment decreased 10% from the comparable quarter in fiscal 2009 and 18% from the comparable six month period last year due primarily to the continuing impact of the cessation of the Dr. Cherry weekly television program in April 2007, which had served as the primary acquisition vehicle in marketing the Pathway to Healing ®  product line.

Gross profit margin increased 9.9 percentage points from the comparable quarter in fiscal 2009 and 7.9 percentage points from the comparable six month period last year. The change in gross profit margin was primarily due to the following for the periods ended December 31, 2009:

 	  	Three Months
Ended	 	 	Six Months
Ended	 	
Branded products operations	  	(0.4	)% 	 	(0.5	)% 	
Contract manufacturing:	  	 	 	 	 	 	
Shift in sales and material mix	  	3.2	  	 	2.5	  	
Reduced overhead expenses	  	2.6	  	 	1.9	  	
Reduced direct and indirect labor	  	3.4	  	 	3.5	  	
Cost reduction program	  	1.1	  	 	0.5	  	
 	  	 	 	 	 	 	
Total	  	9.9	% 	 	7.9	% 	
 	  	 	 	 	 	 	
Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations decreased $1.1 million, or 38.9%, from the comparable quarter last year and decreased $2.0 million, or 36.2%, from the comparable six month period last year primarily due to a reduction in compensation and severance associated with reduced headcount, decreased outside services expenses and reduced direct-to-consumer operating costs primarily associated with lower marketing and advertising expenses, employee compensation costs and call center and fulfillment expenses as a result of the sale of substantially all of the assets of RHL.
Other expense, net decreased $92,000 from the comparable quarter last year and $416,000 from the comparable six month period last year due primarily to reduced interest expense and lower foreign currency exchange losses associated with changes in the Euro and the related impact on the translation of Euro denominated cash and receivables.
Our income tax expense from continuing operations decreased $268,000, or 74.0%, from the comparable quarter last year primarily due to the full valuation of our net deferred tax asset during the prior year comparable quarter while the fiscal 2010 provision was based on income from operations. As a result, the tax expense from continuing operations for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 included expense from our foreign subsidiary at a statutory tax rate of 20% and state tax expense from our U.S.-based income from operations. No net federal tax expense was recognized in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 for our U.S.-based income from operations as it was offset by a release of our net deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Our income tax expense from continuing operations increased $86,000, or 47.8%, during the first six months of fiscal 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to the corresponding increase in our income from continuing operations. As a result, the tax expense from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal 2010 included expense from our foreign subsidiary at a statutory tax rate of 20% and state tax expense from our U.S.-based income from operations. No net federal tax expense was recognized during the first six months of fiscal 2010 for our U.S.-based income from operations as it was offset by a release of our net deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows provided by operating activities and the availability of borrowings under our credit facility. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.7 million in the comparable period in the prior year.
Income before discontinued operations increased to $1.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010 as compared to a loss before discontinued operations of $2.9 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. At December 31, 2009, changes in accounts receivable, consisting primarily of amounts due from our private label contract manufacturing customers, provided $90,000 in cash during the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to providing $1.8 million in the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable during the six months ended December 31, 2009 was the result of lower sales and increased days sales outstanding as compared to the comparable prior year period. Days sales outstanding was 30 days as of December 31, 2009 compared to 27 days as of December 31, 2008.
Approximately $1.4 million of our operating cash flow was generated by NAIE in the six months ended December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, NAIE’s undistributed retained earnings were considered indefinitely reinvested.
Capital expenditures were $1.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $2.8 million in the comparable period in the prior year. Capital expenditures during the six months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were primarily for manufacturing equipment in our Vista, California and Manno, Switzerland facilities. Additionally, during the six months ended December 31, 2009, we received $500,000 in proceeds related to the sale of the remaining assets of the legacy RHL business as compared to $2.2 million in proceeds related to the sale of our As We Change business in the comparable quarter last year. We also invested $699,000 in a six month certificate of deposit during the six months ended December 31, 2008.

Our consolidated debt decreased to $675,000 at December 31, 2009 from $1.3 million at June 30, 2009 primarily due to payments on our term loans.
We have a bank credit facility of $8.2 million as of December 31, 2009, comprised of a $7.5 million working capital line of credit and $675,000 in outstanding term loans. The working capital line of credit has a maturity date of November 1, 2010 and is secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, has a fluctuating or fixed interest rate as elected by NAI from time to time and borrowings are subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances. As of December 31, 2009, the outstanding balances on the term loans consisted of a $170,000, 15 year term loan due June 2011, secured by our San Marcos building, at an interest rate of 8.25%; and a $505,000, 10 year term loan due May 2014 with a twenty year amortization, secured by our San Marcos building, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. Monthly payments on the term loans are approximately $98,000 plus interest. As of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, our working capital line of credit balance was zero.
On December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants required under our credit facility.
On September 22, 2006, NAIE, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility to provide it with a credit line of up to CHF 1.3 million, or approximately $1.3 million, which is the initial maximum aggregate amount that can be outstanding at any one time under the credit facility. This maximum amount was reduced by CHF 160,000, or approximately $154,000, as of December 31, 2007, and was reduced an additional CHF 160,000, or approximately $154,000, as of December 31, 2008, and will be reduced by an additional CHF 160,000 at the end of each succeeding calendar year. On February 19, 2007, NAIE amended its credit facility to provide that the maximum aggregate amount that may be outstanding under the facility cannot be reduced below CHF 500,000, or approximately $482,000. As of December 31, 2009, there was no outstanding balance under the credit facility.
Under its credit facility, NAIE may draw amounts either as current account loan credits to its current or future bank accounts or as fixed loans with a maximum term of 24 months. Current account loans will bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Fixed loans will bear interest at a rate determined by the parties based on current market conditions and must be repaid pursuant to a repayment schedule established by the parties at the time of the loan. If a fixed loan is repaid early at NAIE’s election or in connection with the termination of the credit facility, NAIE will be charged a pre-payment penalty equal to 0.1% of the principal amount of the fixed loan or CHF 1,000 (approximately $964), whichever is greater. The bank reserves the right to refuse individual requests for an advance under the credit facility, although its exercise of such right will not have the effect of terminating the credit facility as a whole.
As of December 31, 2009, we had $4.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, a $699,000 certificate of deposit and $3.8 million available under our working capital line of credit. We believe our available cash, cash equivalents and potential cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our current working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt payments through at least the next 12 months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2009, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses material to investors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included under Item 8 of our 2009 Annual Report. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we adopted the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The ASC has become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The ASC is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP. The adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Other than the pronouncements discussed in our 2009 Annual Report and above, we are not aware of any other pronouncements that materially affect our financial position or results of operations.
 
ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES	
We maintain certain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They are designed to help ensure that material information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and within the time periods

specified by the SEC. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for their intended purpose described above as of December 31, 2009.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS	
From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to product liability, employment, intellectual property, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we generally do not believe the resolution of these matters will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could adversely impact our results of operations. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes that we do not expect.
As of February 16, 2009, neither NAI nor its subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of their property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding.
 
ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS	
You should carefully consider the risks described under Item 1A of our 2009 Annual Report, as well as the other information in our 2009 Annual Report, this report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC, when evaluating our business and future prospects. If any of the identified risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or a portion of the value of your investment in our common stock.
 
ITEM 2.	UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS	
None.
 
ITEM 3.	DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

EXECUTION COPY
 
 	(d)	Continuing Effect. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein shall be continuing representations, warranties, and covenants and shall be binding upon Seller with respect to all Products that Seller ships or delivers to NSA or its designee. The warranties set forth in this Section shall not extend to provide a warranty claim to NSA in connection with any liability for which NSA has an obligation to indemnify Seller pursuant to  Section 31 , below, and shall not extend to NSA’s customers or their customers, if any.	
The failure by Seller to adhere to any of the terms of this Section 6 shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
7.Delivery of Products. All Products are delivered F.O.B. Seller’s manufacturing facility in San Marcos, California and/or Vista, California. Seller shall not change the manufacturing location for the Products without the prior written consent of NSA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The act of payment for Products shall not of itself signify acceptance. Notwithstanding the above, Seller shall, at NSA’s option, replace (F.O.B. NSA’s point of destination) or issue a credit or refund to NSA for any Products discovered by NSA after the Products have been delivered to NSA or its customers that do not conform to the Standards, provided, however, that NSA furnishes to Seller written notice, in reasonable detail, of the nonconformity of the Products prior to the expiration date set forth on the Products, and provides Seller with a reasonable opportunity to inspect such goods and offers to return such goods to Seller at Seller’s cost. NSA or any Master Distributor to whom Products are shipped by Seller shall have the right to reject any Products delivered to NSA or such Master Distributor which are not accompanied by or preceded by a certificate of analysis, as described in  Section 1(h) . If the returned Products are not in breach of Seller’s warranties, NSA or a Master Distributor to whom Products have been shipped shall bear the cost of shipping the returned Products back to Seller’s point of shipment. These rights granted to NSA and any Master Distributor to whom Products are shipped are in addition to and shall not be construed as a limitation of the warranties set forth in  Section 6  of this Agreement. NSA, its Master Distributors, distributors or any other representative or agent of NSA shall store all shipped Products in clean space suitable for storage

 	(a)	Seller’s Access to Confidential Information. The Parties agree and acknowledge that as a result of this Agreement, each party shall receive and have access to information, including, without limitation, information regarding the Product specifications and formulations, costs of manufacture, pricing, and information regarding customers, which is proprietary to and a trade secret of the other party and which is governed by this  Section 10(a) , all of which shall be considered “Confidential Information.” Each party covenants and warrants to the other party that it shall not disclose or divulge Confidential Information except to the extent: (i) required by law, (ii) to protect its interests in any dispute or litigation, (iii) necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or (iv) if such information becomes publicly available without breach of this  Section 10 . The Parties’ obligations under this  Section 10(a)  shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.	
 
 	(b)	Injunctive Relief. The Parties hereby acknowledge that breach of the covenants contained in Section 10(a) will cause irreparable harm to the nonbreaching party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a party may enforce the above-described covenants and warranties by injunction, both preliminary and permanent, it being agreed that the posting of an injunction bond of no more than $5,000 shall be sufficient to indemnify the other party against costs or damages which might be incurred by virtue of any temporary injunction. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting a party from pursuing any other legal or equitable remedy available due to the breach of the provisions of this  Section 10 .	
The failure by Seller or NSA to adhere to any of the terms of this Section 10 shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
11.Intellectual Property, Formulations and Suppliers. NSA hereby warrants that it is the owner or exclusive licensee of the formulations for the Products that are the subject of this Agreement and that it has the right to manufacture or have manufactured such Products, and Seller acknowledges NSA’s rights in the Products. Seller shall not be permitted to use the formulations for the Products in any way except as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Furthermore, Seller agrees that it shall not, during the term of this Agreement and any extensions hereof and for a period of three (3) years hereafter, utilize NSA’s proprietary juice powder ingredients from any existing supplier of such ingredients for the Products in the manufacture and/or distribution of any products for Seller or any other customers of Seller without the prior written approval from NSA. For purposes of this Section, NSA’s proprietary juice powder ingredients used in the Products shall be defined in the Standards or on an attached memorandum signed by the Parties expressly referring to this Agreement. Seller acknowledges

NSA’s exclusive ownership of the trademarks affixed to and any patents embodied in the Products and will do nothing at any time, during or after the term of this Agreement, which could adversely affect their validity or enforceability, including any modification or obliteration of the trademark or patent markings on the Products as sold. This Agreement shall not give Seller any right to use the “NSA” or “Juice Plus+®” name, logo, and marks, or any other trademarks of NSA, except as specifically authorized by NSA. Promptly following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Seller agrees to discontinue use of the “NSA” and “Juice Plus+®” marks, and any other NSA names and trademarks and to remove, or dispose of, as NSA shall direct, any signs or other indicia relating to NSA’s name and trademarks. Following termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not be permitted to use the “NSA” or “Juice Plus+®” name, logo or marks on any other NSA name or trademark in connection with any product. Seller shall not have any right to register any trademarks identical with or similar to NSA’s trademarks. All use of NSA’s trademarks by Seller in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to NSA’s control and shall inure to the benefit of NSA. NSA hereby licenses to Seller during the term of this Agreement the use of the “NSA” and “Juice Plus+®” trademarks and other intellectual property rights solely for Seller’s use in the manufacture and sale of the Products to NSA. Any and all improvements, modifications, inventions or discoveries by Seller or its employees relating to the Products and formulations shall be the sole and exclusive property of NSA. Seller’s obligations under this  Section 11  shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. The failure by Seller to adhere to any of the terms of this  Section 11  shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
12.Term. Subject to Section 14 of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the date first written hereinabove and shall expire at the end of the business day occurring seven (7) years thereafter.
13.Minimum Purchases. In consideration of all of Seller’s services, NSA agrees to provide Seller Purchase Orders for certain portions and/or percentages (“Minimum Purchases”) of its requirements for Juice Plus+® Orchard Blend and Garden Blend Capsules manufactured for distribution in the United States (referred to as “domestic”) as follows:
 
 	(a)	Calendar Year 2005. For the period running from the date of the Agreement through December 31, 2005, NSA agrees to purchase no more than 12,500 units (as used herein, “units” shall mean NSA’s standard consumer packages/boxes of the Product) of its monthly domestic requirements for Juice Plus+® Orchard Blend and Garden Blend Capsules from manufacturers other than Seller.	
 
 	(b)	Calendar Year 2006. For the period running from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006, NSA agrees to purchase no more than 25,000 units of its monthly domestic requirements for Juice Plus+® Orchard Blend and Garden Blend Capsules from manufacturers other than Seller.

11

EXECUTION COPY
 
 	Orchard Blend and Garden Blend Capsules from Seller. For purposes of compliance with this Section, each calendar year is to be measured separately.	
 
 	(d)	Non-Compliance. In the event that the Minimum Purchases are not met, NSA shall have the option to comply with the Minimum Purchases within ninety (90) days by issuing additional Purchase Orders to meet the Minimum Purchases or by paying to Seller 25% of the dollar amount of the Minimum Purchase shortage. If NSA does not comply with the Minimum Purchases within ninety (90) days, Seller shall have the option to: (i) waive the non-compliance; (ii) renegotiate in good faith the terms of this Agreement, or (iii) terminate this Agreement.	
 
 	(e)	Right to Audit. NSA shall keep accurate and correct records of all domestic Purchase Orders and domestic Products purchased (“Records”) during the term of this Agreement. Such Records shall be retained by NSA for at least three (3) years following the minimum purchase periods described above (“MPP”). All MPP Records shall be available during normal business hours for inspection upon ten (10) days prior notice by a Certified Public Accountant selected by Seller for the purpose of verifying MPP Records. Except as provided below all costs and expenses of any such inspection or audit shall be paid by Seller. The selected Certified Public Accountant shall not disclose to Seller any information other than information relating to the accuracy of MPP Records under this Agreement. In the event any such inspection shows Minimum Purchases are not met for any MPP, the provisions of Section 13(d) shall apply. In addition, if Minimum Purchases are not met during any MPP and the shortfall is greater than 10% of Minimum Purchases, then NSA shall pay the reasonable cost of the audit in addition to the remedies available under Section 13(d).	
14.Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of the following:
 
 	(a)	Default of Seller. If NSA delivers to Seller a written notice specifying the nature of Seller’s default and Seller fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice, then and only then shall NSA have the right to terminate or cancel this Agreement. A “default” with respect to Seller shall mean that Seller, or Seller’s Affiliate, as applicable:	
 
 	(i)	becomes insolvent or has a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar action filed by or against it;	
 
 	(ii)	is unable to produce the Products in sufficient volume as required by this Agreement or maintain the quality control levels specified pursuant to this Agreement;	
 
 	(iii)	has all or a substantial portion of its capital stock or assets expropriated or attached by any government entity;

 	(iv)	is dissolved or liquidated or has a petition for dissolution or liquidation filed with respect to it;	
 
 	(v)	is subject to property attachment, court injunction, or court order materially affecting its operations under this Agreement;	
 
 	(vi)	breaches any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, commitment or other agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a material breach by Seller of its obligations under Sections 11 or 23, if NSA delivers to Seller a written notice specifying the nature of Seller’s default and Seller fails to cure such default within three (3) business days following the delivery of such notice, then and only then shall NSA have the right to terminate or cancel this Agreement without further opportunity to cure; or	
 
 	(vii)	shall be in default in the full and prompt payment or performance of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, commitment, condition or undertaking on Seller’s or Seller’s Affiliate’s part to be paid, met, kept, observed or performed pursuant to the provisions of any other written agreements between Seller or Seller’s Affiliate and NSA. “Seller’s Affiliate” shall mean any individual or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Seller.	
 
 	(b)	Default by NSA. If Seller delivers to NSA a written notice specifying the nature of NSA’s default and NSA fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice, then and only then shall Seller have the right to terminate or cancel this Agreement. A “default” with respect to NSA shall mean that NSA:	
 
 	(i)	becomes insolvent or has a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar action filed by or against it;	
 
 	(ii)	has all or a substantial portion of its capital stock or assets expropriated or attached by any government entity;	
 
 	(iii)	is dissolved or liquidated or has a petition for dissolution or liquidation filed with respect to it;	
 
 	(iv)	is subject to property attachment, court injunction, or court order materially affecting its operations under this Agreement; or	
 
 	(v)	fails to pay any amount due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that if NSA is in good faith contesting any amount owed to Seller as a result of this Agreement through appropriate proceedings, such failure to pay shall not be considered an event of default under this Agreement.	
 
 	(c)	Election to Continue. In the event of a default and the lapse of any applicable cure period, the non-defaulting party may agree to continue the Agreement rather than terminating it. To do so, that party shall send a notice to	
 
13

EXECUTION COPY
 
 	the defaulting party specifying the conditions under which the non-defaulting party will agree to continue the Agreement. By agreeing to continue the Agreement in this manner, the non-defaulting party does not waive its right to later terminate the Agreement for default based on the event of default that is the subject of the notice.	
 
 	(d)	Result of Termination by NSA. Upon termination of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to NSA all documents, information, and work in process produced in performance of this Agreement pursuant to  Section 17 .	
15.Force Majeure. Neither party shall be in default nor liable to the other for any failure to perform directly caused by events beyond that party’s reasonable control, such as acts of nature, labor strikes, war, insurrections, riots, acts of governments, embargoes and unusually severe weather provided the affected party notifies the other party within ten (10) days of the occurrence. Such an event is an Excusable Delay. THE PARTY AFFECTED BY AN EXCUSABLE DELAY SHALL TAKE ALL REASONABLE STEPS TO PERFORM DESPITE THE DELAY. If the party is unable to perform within a reasonable period, this Agreement shall end without any further obligation of the unaffected party.
16.Reserved.
17.Return of Materials. If NSA terminates this Agreement, Seller shall complete all work in process in a timely fashion and deliver the same to NSA as provided herein against payment as provided herein. To the extent that after such work in progress has been completed, Seller has inventory of raw materials and packaging materials on hand that were purchased in good faith reliance upon the rolling forecasts, then NSA shall be liable for, and required to purchase such inventory from Seller within thirty (30) days from the date that Seller furnishes to NSA a written reconciliation showing the amount of such inventory; provided that such inventory is in compliance with the Standards. With the approval of NSA, Seller may try to use all or any part of such inventory for other customers or sell all or any part of it to third parties. The Parties shall cooperate and utilize their reasonable best efforts to prepare such final reconciliations of Products and inventory and any other amounts to be provided as between them in connection with such termination. Upon payment of all amounts owed to Seller, Seller shall return to NSA all materials containing the Confidential Information, documents produced in the performance of this Agreement, work-in-process, parts, tools and test equipment paid for, owned or supplied by NSA.
18.Acts of Employees. Each party is solely responsible for the acts of its respective employees and agents, including any negligent acts. Each party shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the other against all claims based on acts of its respective employees or agents.
19.Insurance. Seller will, at Seller’s expense, maintain in full force and effect, products liability insurance coverage with a policy limit of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) per occurrence and Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate, consisting of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in primary coverage and the remaining Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) in an umbrella form for excess liability coverage. Such policy

Seller will deliver to NSA original or duplicate policies of such insurance, or satisfactory certificates of insurance.
20.Seller’s Agreement with its Employees. Seller shall have an appropriate agreement with each of its employees, or others whose service Seller may require, sufficient to enable it to comply with all of the terms of this Agreement.
21.Relationship with Employees. Neither party’s employees shall be considered employees or agents of the other party. Each party shall be solely responsible for paying, supervising, and directing the manner of work of its employees.
22.Foreign Registrations. In the event NSA intends to sell Products in a new geographic area, NSA and Seller agree to cooperate and use their best commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain any necessary approvals or registrations by or with any governmental or regulatory agency in any country or political subdivision in which the Products are to be sold. NSA and Seller shall mutually agree as to which party shall be primarily responsible for obtaining such approvals or registrations on a case-by-case basis. In the event Seller shall be responsible for obtaining such foreign registrations, Seller shall obtain such approvals or registrations and/or file all applications on behalf of and under the name of NSA. Payment for all costs incurred in obtaining such foreign registrations shall be made as listed on subsequent written memorandums signed by the Parties and expressly referring to this Agreement. Regardless of which Party shall be responsible for obtaining such foreign registrations, the responsible Party will provide copies of all registration documents for the other Party’s review prior to submission for approval of such registration documents. The reviewing Party will have ten (10) business days following receipt of such registration documents to provide comments to the responsible Party on any such matters following submission to it. All such approvals, registrations and applications under this Section shall inure solely to the benefit of NSA and Seller shall have no rights in any such approvals, registrations, or applications. All costs, including consulting and legal fees, associated with obtaining and maintaining approvals or registrations for products not manufactured by Seller shall be borne completely by NSA.
23.Restriction on Manufacture or Distribution of Competing Products. During the term of this Agreement and any extensions hereof and for a period of three (3) years hereafter, Seller agrees that Seller shall not manufacture or otherwise distribute any products substantially similar to the Products. For purposes of this  Section 23 , a product will be considered to be substantially similar to the Products if it is an encapsulated whole food based nutrition product containing blended fruit, berry and/or vegetable juice powders. The failure of Seller to comply with the provision of this  Section 23  shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
24.Amendments. This Agreement may only be changed or supplemented by a written amendment, signed by authorized representatives of each party.

26.Governing Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee without regard to any provision (including conflicts of law provisions) which would require the application of the law of any state other than the State of Tennessee.

 	(j)	Facility Tours - Monthly and Special. Seller shall cooperate with NSA to provide tours of Seller’s receiving, production, packaging and laboratory facilities to NSA distributors, Master Distributors and other personnel requested by NSA. On a  monthly basis, Seller and NSA will coordinate no more than two days per month to be designated for tours of the production facility by distributors in reasonable size groups of approximately twenty-five people. If it is mutually agreeable to Seller and NSA, multiple tours may be conducted on the same day to accommodate interested distributors.  Special  tours will be arranged from time to time for special events or personnel requested by NSA and reasonably agreed to by Seller including “boot camps” and other tours reasonably requested by NSA from time to time. With respect to all tours, NSA shall be responsible for approving the group, coordinating distributor signups and advising Seller of the general size of the group. Seller shall be responsible for providing adequately trained guides for each tour, any direct costs related to the tour on Seller’s premises and ensuring Seller’s facilities are adequately prepared for each tour.

Should any distributor, Master Distributor or other NSA personnel contact Seller directly to arrange any tour, Seller will refer them to NSA and/or will contact NSA to notify them of the request.	
3.Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid by NSA for each Product shall be listed on subsequent written memorandums signed by the Parties and expressly referring to this Agreement. Any change in the purchase price is subject to the following:
 
 	(a)	Price Increases. In the event that manufacturing and other Product related costs increase materially as a result of labor costs, material costs, rent, custom charges, state taxes, import or export fees, freight costs, utility rates, or other costs, Seller shall provide NSA documentation supporting such cost increases in a form reasonably satisfactory to NSA. Upon NSA’s reasonable satisfaction and confirmation of the increased manufacturing and other Product related costs, the increased costs shall be reflected in an increased purchase price of the Products paid by NSA to Seller on a per Product basis to be determined by NSA and Seller. In such an event the purchase price of the Products shall increase by a percentage equal to the percentage of the increase in Seller’s manufacturing and other Product related costs. Any increase in purchase price shall become effective ninety (90) days after such increase is determined by NSA and Seller. Seller agrees to take all customary and reasonable steps to maintain manufacturing costs at levels consistent with or below such costs as of the date of this Agreement. For purposes of this  Section 3(a) , manufacturing and other Product related costs shall

 	be examined annually, with the first such examination to occur on the first business day after April 1, 2006.	
 
 	(b)	Price Decreases. In the event manufacturing costs and other Product related costs decrease materially, Seller shall inform NSA of such decrease and negotiate with NSA, in good faith, a reduction in the purchase price of each Product. The decreased costs shall be “passed through” to NSA on a per Product basis to be determined by NSA and Seller, with such decrease to reflect a direct pass through of such decreased manufacturing costs. Any decrease in purchase price shall become effective ninety (90) days after such decrease is determined by NSA and Seller. For purposes of this  Section 3(b) , manufacturing costs shall be examined annually, with the first such examination to occur on the first business day after April 1, 2006.	
4.Payment Terms. Seller shall submit invoices to NSA with each shipment of Products. Payment in full shall be due within thirty (30) days after receipt by NSA of each invoice and shall be made in United States Dollars. NSA shall receive a two percent (2%) discount for payments made on or before the tenth (10 th ) day after receipt of such invoice by NSA. All payments shall be made via wire transfer pursuant to wire instructions agreed to by the Parties from time to time. NSA’s payment of the purchase price shall be subject to its rights under  Section 9  of this Agreement.
5.Purchase Orders. Seller’s authorization to perform work under this Agreement will be given by NSA in the form of a Purchase Order executed by an officer of NSA or their written designee (“Purchase Order”). NSA will not pay Seller for Products or charges for Products unless the Products are produced, and the charges were incurred, to fill an authorized Purchase Order previously submitted to Seller by NSA, except as provided in  Section 17 . The Purchase Orders shall set forth a quantity of Products which NSA requires from Seller and the delivery requirements. The Purchase Order is the authorization by NSA to order materials, allocate labor or equipment, or enter into any other commitments for the assembly of the Products. NSA shall issue Purchase Orders for delivery of Products at NSA’s discretion. Upon receipt of a Purchase Order, Seller shall send NSA within 48 hours written confirmation of such receipt and shall confirm the delivery date for such Products. Except as provided in  Section 17 , NSA shall not be responsible for work performed, material purchased or other commitments or expenses incurred by Seller other than as stated in the Purchase Order provided by NSA unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both Parties. Seller will ship Product on the date set forth in each Purchase Order provided that: (i) such date cannot be less than the number of days agreed upon in subsequent written memorandums signed by the Parties and expressly referring to this Agreement; and (ii) NSA may, prior to shipment, request that Seller delay the shipment date subject to the Parties’ agreement to the payment by NSA for any additional storage charges. The Parties agree to set minimum order sizes for all Purchase Orders under this Agreement in subsequent written memorandums signed by the Parties and expressly referring to this Agreement. NSA shall provide Seller monthly during the term of this Agreement with a good faith rolling forecast of its Product needs for the following twelve (12) month period. Except as provided in  Section 17 , such forecasts provided by NSA shall be only for Seller’s production planning and capacity

 	(a)	Manufacturing. Products manufactured by Seller (i) shall be manufactured in conformity with the Standards and comply in all respects to all applicable laws of the intended marketplace, (ii) will have a shelf life equal to or in excess of the shelf life specified in the Standards, and (iii) Seller, except as set forth in  Section 6(b) , shall not change any formulation or specification for the Products without the prior written consent of NSA, which consent may be withheld in NSA’s sole and absolute discretion. All Products sold hereunder shall be of merchantable quality, free from defects, fully acceptable, fit for their intended use and manufactured in conformity with the Standards and comply in all respects to all applicable laws, regulations, statutes and orders of the intended marketplace, and any intended marketplace in which (i) NSA advised Seller prior to manufacture and delivery, in writing, the Products are to be sold and in which (ii) Seller participated in or reviewed the procurement of any necessary governmental registrations or approvals. Each Product shall be delivered free and clear of all liens, security interests, and/or encumbrances of any type or nature;	
 
 	(b)	Legal Requirements. Should applicable law requirements specify defect limits or other requirements that are more stringent than those, if any, contained in the Standards, the more stringent requirements shall prevail and apply and the Standards shall be automatically modified without the requirement of action by either Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not change any Standards as a result of the preceding sentence without the prior written consent of NSA. In the event Seller and NSA fail to agree on any modification that Seller deems required under this  Section 6(b) , Seller shall not be obligated to manufacture any Product in accordance with any Standard that Seller deems to be non-conforming, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the issue;	
 
 	(c)	Labeling. All packaging and labeling provided by Seller for Products manufactured by Seller under this Agreement shall be in conformity with the Standards and comply in all respects to all applicable laws, regulations, statutes and orders of the intended marketplace and any intended marketplace in which (i) NSA advised Seller prior to manufacture and delivery, in writing, the Products are to be sold and in which (ii) Seller participated in or reviewed the procurement of any necessary governmental registrations or approvals.

 	(d)	Continuing Effect. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein shall be continuing representations, warranties, and covenants and shall be binding upon Seller with respect to all Products that Seller ships or delivers to NSA or its designee. The warranties set forth in this Section shall not extend to provide a warranty claim to NSA in connection with any liability for which NSA has an obligation to indemnify Seller pursuant to  Section 31 , below, and shall not extend to NSA’s customers or their customers, if any.	
The failure by Seller to adhere to any of the terms of this Section 6 shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
7.Delivery of Products. All Products are delivered FCA (Incoterms 2000) Seller’s manufacturing facility in Lugano, Switzerland. Seller shall provide Products to the NSA location that is set forth in the Purchase Order. In the event Seller is requested to ship Products on NSA’s behalf, Seller shall deliver the Products to the party and the final destination set forth in the Purchase Order. It is the responsibility of Seller to schedule production and delivery of all Products ordered under this Agreement.
8.Title and Risk of Loss. The title to and all risk of loss of the Products shall remain with Seller until loaded onto the designated shipper.
9.Acceptance and Rejections. Seller shall provide and maintain an inspection procedure and quality assurance program for the Products and their production processes. All inspection records maintained by Seller shall be made available to NSA, at a reasonable time, upon request. NSA and any Master Distributor to whom Products are shipped by Seller shall have fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of delivery to inspect and test all Products and may refuse to accept Products which do not conform to the Standards. If NSA or such Master Distributor has not timely notified Seller of rejection, then the Products shall be deemed to have been accepted by NSA. The act of payment for Products shall not of itself signify acceptance. Notwithstanding the above, Seller shall, at NSA’s option, replace (FCA (Incoterms 2000) NSA’s point of destination) or issue a credit or refund to NSA for any Products discovered by NSA after the Products have been delivered to NSA or its customers that do not conform to the Standards, provided, however, that NSA furnishes to Seller written notice, in reasonable detail, of the nonconformity of the Products prior to the expiration date set forth on the Products, and provides Seller with a reasonable opportunity to inspect such goods and offers to return such goods to Seller at Seller’s cost. NSA or any Master Distributor to whom Products are shipped by Seller shall have the right to reject any Products delivered to NSA or such Master Distributor which are not accompanied by or preceded by a certificate of analysis, as described in  Section 1(h) . If the returned Products are not in breach of Seller’s warranties, NSA or a Master Distributor to whom Products have been shipped shall bear the cost of shipping the returned Products back to Seller’s point of shipment. These rights granted to NSA and any Master Distributor to whom Products are shipped are in addition to and shall not be construed as a limitation of  Section 6  of this Agreement. NSA, its Master Distributors, distributors or any other representative or agent of NSA shall store all shipped Products in clean space suitable for storage of food and protection of

its contents with respect to integrity and quality, in compliance with good commercial practice, the Standards and all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the intended marketplace.
10.Confidential Information.
 
 	(a)	Seller’s Access to Confidential Information. The Parties agree and acknowledge that as a result of this Agreement, each party shall receive and have access to information, including, without limitation, information regarding the Product specifications and formulations, costs of manufacture, pricing, and information regarding customers, which is proprietary to and a trade secret of the other party and which is governed by this  Section 10(a) , all of which shall be considered “Confidential Information.” Each party covenants and warrants to the other party that it shall not disclose or divulge Confidential Information except to the extent: (i) required by law, (ii) to protect its interests in any dispute or litigation, (iii) necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or (iv) if such information becomes publicly available without breach of this  Section 10 . The Parties’ obligations under this  Section 10(a)  shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.	
 
 	(b)	Injunctive Relief. The Parties hereby acknowledge that breach of the covenants contained in Section 10(a) will cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a party may enforce the above-described covenants and warranties by injunction, both preliminary and permanent, it being agreed that the posting of an injunction bond of no more than $5,000 shall be sufficient to indemnify the other party against costs or damages which might be incurred by virtue of any temporary injunction. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting a party from pursuing any other legal or equitable remedy available due to the breach of the provisions of this  Section 10 .	
The failure by Seller or NSA to adhere to any of the terms of this Section 10 shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
11.Intellectual Property, Formulations and Suppliers. NSA hereby warrants that it is the owner or exclusive licensee of the formulations for the Products that are the subject of this Agreement and that it has the right to manufacture or have manufactured such Products, and Seller acknowledges NSA’s rights in the Products. Seller shall not be permitted to use the formulations for the Products in any way except as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Furthermore, Seller agrees that it shall not, during the term of this Agreement and any extensions hereof and for a period of three (3) years hereafter, utilize NSA’s proprietary juice powder ingredients from any existing supplier of such ingredients for the Products in the manufacture and/or distribution of any products for Seller or any other customers of Seller without the prior written approval from NSA. For purposes of this Section, NSA’s proprietary juice powder ingredients used in the Products shall be defined in the Standards or on an attached memorandum signed by the Parties expressly referring to this Agreement. Seller acknowledges

NSA’s exclusive ownership of the trademarks affixed to and any patents embodied in the Products and will do nothing at any time, during or after the term of this Agreement, which could adversely affect their validity or enforceability, including any modification or obliteration of the trademark or patent markings on the Products as sold. This Agreement shall not give Seller any right to use the “NSA” or “Juice Plus+ ® ” name, logo, and marks, or any other trademarks of NSA, except as specifically authorized by NSA. Promptly following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Seller agrees to discontinue use of the “NSA” and “Juice Plus+ ® ” marks, and any other NSA names and trademarks and to remove, or dispose of, as NSA shall direct, any signs or other indicia relating to NSA’s name and trademarks.

NSA hereby licenses to Seller during the term of this Agreement the use of the “NSA” and “Juice Plus+ ® ” trademarks and other intellectual property rights solely for Seller’s use in the manufacture and sale of the Products to NSA. Any and all improvements, modifications, inventions or discoveries by Seller or its employees relating to the Products and formulations shall be the sole and exclusive property of NSA. Seller’s obligations under this  Section 11  shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. The failure by Seller to adhere to any of the terms of this  Section 11  shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
12.Term. Subject to Section 14 of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the date first written hereinabove and shall expire at the end of the business day occurring seven (7) years thereafter.
13.New Products.
 
 	(a)	Right of First Refusal. During the term of this Agreement and to the extent not prohibited by applicable patent or other law or any applicable agreement, NSA hereby grants to Seller a right of first refusal to manufacture new nutritional products in capsule or tablet form which include the proprietary NSA Juice Plus+ ®  powder blend that NSA desires to distribute in the Territory (“New Products”); provided, however, that nothing in this right of first refusal shall be construed or interpreted in any way to prevent NSA from obtaining competitive bids from third party manufacturers to produce any New Product.	
 
 	(b)	New Product Notice. In the event NSA wishes to manufacture a New Product for distribution in the Territory, NSA shall provide a written notice (“New Product Notice”) to Seller. The New Product Notice will contain formulation and product specifications and any price, manufacturing, delivery and other material terms agreed to or offered in writing by any third party manufacturer. Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the New Product Notice to determine whether or not to exercise its right of first refusal. If Seller exercises its right of first refusal, it must have the ability	
 
11

EXECUTION COPY
 
 	to produce the New Product in quality, quantity, and at costs competitive with those specified in the New Product Notice. If Seller does not exercise its right of first refusal, NSA shall have the right to have the New Product produced by a third party manufacturer on the terms specified in the New Product Notice. If NSA is unable to have the New Product manufactured upon the terms set forth in the New Product Notice, NSA shall be required to resubmit a New Product Notice to Seller and Seller shall have an additional thirty (30) days from the date of resubmittal to exercise its right of first refusal. If Seller is granted the right to produce any New Products for NSA pursuant to this Section 13 , such New Products shall be listed on subsequent written memorandums signed by the Parties and expressly referring to this Agreement, and shall fall within the definition of a Product subject to terms of this Agreement.	
14.Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of the following:
 
 	(a)	Default of Seller. If NSA delivers to Seller a written notice specifying the nature of Seller’s default and Seller fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice, then and only then shall NSA have the right to terminate or cancel this Agreement. A “default” with respect to Seller shall mean that Seller, or Seller’s Affiliate, as applicable:	
 
 	(i)	becomes insolvent or has a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar action filed by or against it;	
 
 	(ii)	has all or a substantial portion of its capital stock or assets expropriated or attached by any government entity;	
 
 	(iii)	is dissolved or liquidated or has a petition for dissolution or liquidation filed with respect to it;	
 
 	(iv)	is subject to property attachment, court injunction, or court order materially affecting its operations under this Agreement; or	
 
 	(v)	breaches any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, commitment or other agreement contained in this Agreement provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a material breach by Seller of its obligations under Sections 1, 6, 10, 11 or 23, if NSA delivers to Seller a written notice specifying the nature of Seller’s default and Seller fails to cure such default within three (3) business days following the delivery of such notice, then and only then shall NSA have the right to terminate or cancel this Agreement without further opportunity to cure; or	
 
 	(vi)	shall be in default in the full and prompt payment or performance of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, commitment, condition or undertaking on Seller’s or Seller’s Affiliate’s part to be paid, met, kept, observed or performed pursuant to the provisions of any other written	
 
12

EXECUTION COPY
 
 	agreements between Seller or Seller’s Affiliate and NSA. “Seller’s Affiliate” shall mean any individual or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Seller.	
 
 	(b)	Default by NSA. If Seller delivers to NSA a written notice specifying the nature of NSA’s default and NSA fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice, then and only then shall Seller have the right to terminate or cancel this Agreement. A “default” with respect to NSA shall mean that NSA:	
 
 	(i)	becomes insolvent or has a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar action filed by or against it;	
 
 	(ii)	has all or a substantial portion of its capital stock or assets expropriated or attached by any government entity;	
 
 	(iii)	is dissolved or liquidated or has a petition for dissolution or liquidation filed with respect to it;	
 
 	(iv)	is subject to property attachment, court injunction, or court order materially affecting its operations under this Agreement; or	
 
 	(v)	fails to pay any amount due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that if NSA is in good faith contesting any amount owed to Seller as a result of this Agreement through appropriate proceedings, such failure to pay shall not be considered an event of default under this Agreement.	
 
 	(c)	Election to Continue. In the event of a default and the lapse of any applicable cure period, the non-defaulting party may agree to continue the Agreement rather than terminating it. To do so, that party shall send a notice to the defaulting party specifying the conditions under which the non-defaulting party will agree to continue the Agreement. By agreeing to continue the Agreement in this manner, the non-defaulting party does not waive its right to later terminate the Agreement for default based on the event of default that is the subject of the notice.	
 
 	(d)	Result of Termination by NSA. Upon termination of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to NSA all documents, information, and work in process produced in performance of this Agreement pursuant to  Section 17 .	
15.Force Majeure. Neither party shall be in default nor liable to the other for any failure to perform directly caused by events beyond that party’s reasonable control, such as acts of nature, labor strikes, war, insurrections, riots, acts of governments, embargoes and unusually severe weather provided the affected party notifies the other party within ten (10) days of the occurrence. Such an event is an Excusable Delay. THE PARTY AFFECTED BY AN EXCUSABLE DELAY SHALL TAKE ALL REASONABLE STEPS TO PERFORM DESPITE THE DELAY. If the party is unable to perform within a reasonable period, this Agreement shall end without any further obligation of the unaffected party.

17.Return of Materials.

To the extent that after such work in progress has been completed, Seller has inventory of raw materials and packaging materials on hand that were purchased in good faith reliance upon the rolling forecasts, then NSA shall be liable for, and required to purchase such inventory from Seller within thirty (30) days from the date that Seller furnishes to NSA a written reconciliation showing the amount of such inventory; provided that such inventory is in compliance with the Standards. With the approval of NSA, Seller may try to use all or any part of such inventory for other customers or sell all or any part of it to third parties. The Parties shall cooperate and utilize their reasonable best efforts to prepare such final reconciliations of Products and inventory and any other amounts to be provided as between them in connection with such termination. Upon payment of all amounts owed to Seller, Seller shall return to NSA all materials containing the Confidential Information, documents produced in the performance of this Agreement, work-in-process, parts, tools and test equipment paid for, owned or supplied by NSA.

Seller will deliver to NSA original or duplicate policies of such insurance, or satisfactory certificates of insurance.

21.Relationship with Employees. Neither party’s employees shall be considered employees or agents of the other party. Each party shall be solely responsible for paying, supervising, and directing the manner of work of its employees.

22.Foreign Registrations. In the event NSA intends to sell Products in a new geographic area, NSA and Seller agree to cooperate and use their best commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain any necessary approvals or registrations by or with any governmental or regulatory agency in any country or political subdivision in which the Products are to be sold. NSA and Seller shall mutually agree as to which party shall be primarily responsible for obtaining such approvals or registrations on a case-by-case basis. In the event Seller shall be responsible for obtaining such foreign registrations, Seller shall obtain such approvals or registrations and/or file all applications on behalf of and under the name of NSA. Payment for all costs incurred in obtaining such foreign registrations shall be made as listed on subsequent written memorandums signed by the Parties and expressly referring to this Agreement. Regardless of which Party shall be responsible for obtaining such foreign registrations, the responsible Party will provide copies of all registration documents for the other Party’s review prior to submission for approval of such registration documents. The reviewing Party will have ten (10) business days following receipt of such registration documents to provide comments to the responsible Party on any such matters following submission to it. All such approvals, registrations and applications under this Section shall inure solely to the benefit of NSA and Seller shall have no rights in any such approvals, registrations, or applications. All costs, including consulting and legal fees, associated with obtaining and maintaining approvals or registrations for products not manufactured by Seller shall be borne completely by NSA.
23.Restriction on Manufacture or Distribution of Competing Products. During the term of this Agreement and any extensions hereof and for a period of three (3) years hereafter, Seller agrees that Seller shall not manufacture or otherwise distribute any products substantially similar to the Products. For purposes of this  Section 23 , a product will be considered to be substantially similar to the Products if it is an encapsulated whole food based nutrition product containing blended fruit, berry and/or vegetable juice powders. The failure of Seller to comply with the provision of this  Section 23  shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
24.Amendments. This Agreement may only be changed or supplemented by a written amendment, signed by authorized representatives of each party.
25.Assignment. Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party.
