sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, PCI and Supplier agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF EXCLUSIVITY. Subject to the terms
herein, Supplier agrees to exclusively supply the Cigar Products to PCI for the
term set forth in paragraph 2 herein, provided PCI satisfies the Purchase
Requirements described in paragraph 3 herein and provided PCI is not in default
under the terms of this Agreement. Unless PCI fails to satisfy the Purchase
Requirements set forth in paragraph 3 herein or PCI is in default under the
terms of this Agreement, Supplier acknowledges and agrees that, during the term
of this Agreement, it shall not supply the Cigar Products or little cigars to
any manufacturer, supplier, distributor, retailer or other person or entity,
other than PCI, worldwide and shall not be a distributor of the Cigar Products
or little cigars. During the term of this Agreement and provided Supplier is not
in default under the terms of this Agreement, PCI shall not be a distributor of
products in direct competition with the Cigar Products or little cigars
manufactured by Supplier. Subject to the foregoing, PCI may sell and distribute
cigars and related products (but not little cigars in single tubes) without

of the initial five (5) year period, PCI and Supplier shall use their best
efforts to mutually agree on Purchase Requirements, as defined below, for years

business ("Third Party") to establish the Purchase Requirements for years 6
through and including 10, taking into account the following: past per store
sales, purchase history, regulatory climate, competitive products, market and
industry factors and other relevant issues. The parties hereto agree that the
Purchase Requirements as determined by such Third Party shall be binding on the
parties hereto and PCI and Supplier agree to split 50/50 any fees and costs
charged by such Third Party in connection with its evaluation and determination
of the Purchase Requirements. If the parties hereto cannot agree on a Third
Party, PCI and Supplier shall each select a qualified party with substantial
experience in the cigar business and such two qualified parties selected shall
select another qualified party with experience in the cigar business and such
party shall establish the Purchase Requirements for years 6 through and
including 10, which shall be binding on the parties hereto.
3. PURCHASE REQUIREMENTS. PCI shall order from Supplier minimum orders
of Cigar Products as set forth on the attached Exhibit "A" (the "Purchase
Requirements"). The Cigar Products must satisfy the specifications of PCI as to
blend, color, flavor, tip, concentration, quality and packaging as more
specifically set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. The final specifications
shall be deemed Confidential Information and evidenced by both parties signing
Exhibit B. PCI must give Supplier at least three months prior notice of any
proposed change in the specifications for the Cigar Products. The parties agree
to work together to effectuate a smooth transition to Cigar Products with new
specifications and to mitigate the costs to both parties. The Purchase
Requirements shall be calculated on a cumulative basis. The parties agree that
such purchases shall generally be made on a monthly basis taking into account
the existing production capacity of Supplier and requirements of PCI. If in any
given period, the purchase orders by PCI exceed the Purchase Requirements set
forth on the attached Exhibit "A," such excess amount shall be applied to the
Purchase Requirements for the next succeeding fiscal quarter. Within thirty (30)
business days of PCI's receipt of any Cigar Products delivered by Supplier
pursuant to a PCI purchase order, PCI may return any or all of such Cigar
Products because of damage or quality problems. PCI must notify Supplier as to
nature of defect. Pursuant to the written instruction of PCI, Supplier shall as
soon as possible. replace such returned Cigar Products. If damaged Cigar
Products are not replaced within 60 days, Supplier shall immediately refund all
monies paid for said product. Notwithstanding anything mentioned herein to the
contrary, in the event that the FDA or any federal or state, governmental agency
or legislative body at any time enacts any legislation, rule, regulation,
ordinance or law which would prevent PCI from selling the Cigar Products in the
same manner as it is selling its cigars as of the date of this Agreement or have
a material adverse impact on the sales of Cigar Products, the Purchase
Requirements shall be adjusted based on the following formula: 10 Cigar Products
per day x 90 days x number of stores affected. Such adjusted Purchase
Requirements shall be applicable to the fiscal quarter as of the date of the
foregoing event and all subsequent fiscal quarters thereafter unless otherwise
modified as provided for herein. In the event PCI fails to meet the Purchase
Requirements for any given fiscal quarter as set forth on Exhibit A, as modified
and PCI fails to cure such default within 60 days of the end of such fiscal
quarter, PCI shall be deemed to be in default under the terms of this Agreement.
To the extent the Purchase Requirements are reduced below 60% of the then
current or future Purchase Requirements as set forth on Exhibit A due to the
events described above, either PCI or Supplier may give the other party 30 days
prior written notice of its election to terminate this Agreement.

4. PURCHASE PRICE; Adjustment of Price. During the term of this
Agreement, PCI shall pay Supplier the price ("Purchase Price") for the Cigar
Products of no higher than * per unit including the federal tobacco tax paid by
Supplier. Such prices are subject to factory increases or decreases, provided
Supplier delivers to PCI invoices and other information in a form acceptable to
PCI which verify such increases or decreases and provided such cost increases or
decreases are greater than ten percent (10%) of the actual costs of plastic and
tobacco paid by Supplier for the manufacture of Cigar Products as of the date of
this Agreement or the date of the latest adjustment to the Purchase Price,
whichever is later. If any increases or decreases for the actual costs of
plastic and tobacco paid by Supplier for the Cigar Products is ten percent (10%)
or less there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price. Increases or
decreases are subject to verification by PCI. For example, if the actual cost of
plastic and tobacco paid by Supplier for the manufacture of Cigar Products has
increased by fifteen percent (15%) from the date of this Agreement and PCI is
able to verify such cost increases the Purchase Price shall be increased by
fifteen percent (15%) increasing the Purchase Price from * per unit to * per
unit. The price of * per unit shall then be the benchmark Purchase Price and any
further increases or decreases in the Purchase Price shall be based on an
increase or decrease of greater than ten percent (10%) from the benchmark
Purchase Price of * per unit. Any increase in the federal cigar tobacco tax,
which is in effect as of the date of this Agreement, shall increase the Purchase
Price by the amount of such increase. As set forth in Section 18 below, Supplier
shall at all times use best efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the
Purchase Price paid by PCI and shall not disclose such prices to PCI's
distributors or other third parties with which PCI does business. Supplier will
invoice PCI by components, separating the price of the tobacco products from the
price of all other components, like packaging. The price that Supplier sells the
Cigar Products to PCI is net of any state taxes, PCI is responsible to pay
Arizona taxes on the price of the tobacco portion of the invoice.
5. PAYMENT TERMS. All payments shall be made within fifteen (15) days
of both delivery of the Cigar Products and receipt of the invoice. Failure by
PCI to make timely payments shall allow Supplier to require PCI to pay on a COD
basis for future deliveries. A late charge of five (5%) of the payment amount
shall be added to all payments not made within fifteen (15) days of delivery and
receipt of the invoice for the Cigar Products.
6. PACKAGING. At PCI's request, Supplier shall provide appropriate
retail packaging including the box in which the Cigar Products are shipped
utilizing packaging materials provided by Supplier, at its sole cost, and
mutually approved by PCI and Supplier and using logos and designs provided by
PCI to Supplier. If prior to the production of the retail packaging, such
packaging as set forth in Exhibit B does not reasonably satisfy PCI, Supplier
shall provide the Cigar Products, at Supplier's sole expense, in packaging which
does satisfy PCI, determined by mutual agreement, as signified by a signed
memorandum by officers of each party. Any change to specifications set forth in
Exhibit B for packaging must have three months lead-time from PCI to Supplier
and the cost difference shall be paid by PCI provided the parties agree to work
together to mitigate the costs of such transition. PCI has the right to produce,
at its discretion and expense, any and all sales/marketing materials under the

Products to anyone except PCI, and the Supplier will not distribute the Cigar

PCI is in default under the terms of this Agreement, PCI agrees to transfer to
Supplier all of its rights, title, and interest in the trademarks associated
with the brand name "PrimeTime" and all other intellectual property rights
(including related marketing materials) relating to the Cigar Products and to
