(c) Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a closing statement calculating the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Closing Statement”). For purposes of this Agreement, the Purchased Inventory value shall be calculated at the agreed values set forth on Schedule 3.2(c); provided, however, that the fixed overhead allocation related to the Purchased Inventory shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $625,000 and (ii) 18.5% of the Purchased Inventory.
6
(d) Sellers shall provide Buyer and its accountants and legal counsel with reasonable information, and access to books and records of Sellers, related to the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital set forth on the Closing Statement, for forty five (45) days after receipt of the Closing Statement. Unless Buyer delivers the Dispute Notice within forty five (45) days after receipt of the Closing Statement, such Closing Statement shall be deemed the “Final Closing Statement,” shall be binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review. If Buyer disagrees with the Closing Statement, Buyer shall, within forty five (45) days after receipt thereof, notify Sellers in writing (the “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall provide reasonable detail of the nature of each disputed item on the Closing Statement. Buyer and Sellers shall first use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute among themselves and, if the parties are able to resolve such dispute, the Closing Statement shall be revised to the extent necessary to reflect such resolution, shall be deemed the “Final Closing Statement” and shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Dispute Notice, the parties shall submit the dispute to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP at such firm’s New York City office (the “Accountants”). Each of Buyer, FAP, First Aid and NutraMax represents and covenants that the Accountants are not currently engaged and are not expected to be engaged to perform services for it or any of its affiliates (as hereinafter defined). The Accountants shall act as experts and not arbiters and shall determine only those items in dispute on the Closing Statement. Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after engagement, the Accountants shall deliver a written report to Buyer and Sellers as to the resolution of the disputed items and the resulting calculation of the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement as determined by the Accountants shall be deemed the “Final Closing Statement,” and shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review. The fees and expenses of the Accountants in connection with the resolution of disputes pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be borne one-half by Buyer and one-half by Sellers. If the Closing Working Capital exceeds $4,500,000, Buyer shall pay the difference to FAP within five (5) days of the delivery of the Final Closing Statement. If the Closing Working Capital is less than $4,300,000, the Escrow Agent shall release the difference to Buyer pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.
3.3 Supply Agreement Escrow Amount Release.
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within forty five (45) days after each of the dates that are three months, six months, nine months, and twelve months from the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare, and provide to Sellers, a schedule (each, a “Supply Schedule”) calculating the amount invoiced by Infotex to Buyer for products supplied to Buyer under the Supply Agreement during the three month period then ended (the “Invoiced Amount”), the cost of any products covered by the Supply Agreement but manufactured in Buyer’s United States manufacturing facilities during the three month period then ended, calculated by Buyer in accordance with GAAP (the “Manufacturing Cost” and, together with the Invoiced Amount, the “Buyer’s Total Cost”), and the calculation of the Contractual Amount. Each Supply Schedule shall provide reasonable detail of the calculation of the Invoiced Amount, the Manufacturing Cost and the Contractual Amount, including detail by SKU. If Buyer claims that Infotex has not met the Performance Standard, each Supply Schedule shall also provide reasonable detail documenting such noncompliance. Buyer shall provide Sellers and their accountants and legal counsel with reasonable information, and access to books and records of Buyer related to the preparation of the Supply Schedule for fifteen (15) days after receipt of
7
each Supply Schedule. Unless Sellers deliver a Supply Dispute Notice within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Supply Schedule, such Supply Schedule shall be deemed a “Final Supply Schedule,” shall be binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review. If Sellers disagree with the Supply Schedule, Sellers shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof, notify Buyer in writing (a “Supply Dispute Notice”), which Supply Dispute Notice shall provide reasonable detail of the nature of each disputed item on the Supply Schedule. Buyer and Sellers shall first use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute among themselves and, if the parties are able to resolve such dispute, the Supply Schedule shall be revised to the extent necessary to reflect such resolution, shall be deemed the “Final Supply Schedule” and shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Supply Dispute Notice, the parties shall submit the dispute to the Accountants. The Accountants shall act as experts and not arbiters and shall determine only those items in dispute on such Supply Schedule. Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after engagement, the Accountants shall deliver a written report to Buyer and Sellers as to the resolution of the disputed items and the resulting calculation of the Supply Schedule. The Supply Schedule as determined by the Accountants shall be deemed the “Final Supply Schedule,” and shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review. The fees and expenses of the Accountants in connection with the resolution of disputes pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be borne one-half by Buyer and one-half by Sellers.
(i) If the Buyer’s Total Cost is less than or equal to 105% of the Contractual Amount for such three-month period, and the Performance Standard has been met, an amount equal to $500,000, plus interest on such amount at a rate of 6% per annum calculated from the Closing Date until the date that the payment is actually made, shall be released, within five (5) days of the delivery of the Supply Schedule by Buyer, to NutraMax from the Supply Agreement Escrow Amount in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
(ii) If the Buyer’s Total Cost is greater than 105% but less than 110% of the Contractual Amount for such three-month period, and the Performance Standard has been met, an amount equal to the product of (i) $500,000, plus interest on such amount at a rate of 6% per annum calculated from the Closing Date until the date that the payment is actually made, multiplied by (ii) one(1) minus a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the excess of the Invoiced Amount over one hundred five percent (105%) of the Contractual Amount and (B) the denominator of which shall be five percent (5%) of the Contractual Amount shall be released, within five (5) days of the delivery of the Final Supply Schedule by Buyer, to NutraMax from the Supply Agreement Escrow Amount in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement. To the extent that the amount released to NutraMax under this Section 3.3(a)(ii) is less than $500,000, the balance of the $500,000 shall be released to the Buyer.
By way of example, if the Buyer’s Total Cost for a three-month period is $107,500 and the Contractual Amount for the same three-month period is $100,000, the amount to be released to NutraMax shall be calculated as ($500,000) * [1-($2500/$5000)] = ($500,000) * (0.5) = $250,000, plus interest on such amount at a rate of 6% per annum calculated from the Closing Date until the date that the payment is actually made.
8
(iii) If the Buyer’s Total Cost is greater than 110% of the Contractual Amount for such three-month period pursuant to a Final Supply Schedule, an amount equal to $500,000 shall be released to Buyer from the Supply Agreement Escrow Amount in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but in any event within forty five (45) days thereof, Buyer shall prepare, and provide to Sellers, a Supply Schedule calculating the Buyer’s Total Cost for the twelve-month period then ended. The Supply Schedule provided under this Section 3.3(b) shall be subject to the review and dispute procedures set forth in Section 3.3(a).
(i) If the Buyer’s Total Cost is less than or equal to 101% of the Contractual Amount for such twelve-month period, and the Performance Standard has been met (over such twelve month period), Buyer shall pay to NutraMax, within five (5) days of the delivery of the Supply Schedule by Buyer, an amount equal to $500,000, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by NutraMax. If the Buyer’s Total Cost is greater than 101% of the Contractual Amount for such twelve-month period pursuant to a Final Supply Schedule, or if the Performance Standard has not been met (over such twelve month period), no additional payment shall be made by Buyer to any Seller hereunder.
Any payment to Seller under this Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed a “Bonus Payment Amount”.
(c) Notwithstanding acceptance of any payment under Section 3.3(a)(ii) hereunder, Sellers shall be entitled to dispute the amount of any such payment and the accuracy of any Supply Schedule.
(d) For the twelve-month period subsequent to the Closing Date, Buyer and Buyer Parent shall act in good faith in their dealings with Infotex and shall take no actions, including but not limited to materially breaching the Supply Agreement, that would reasonably be expected to harm their relationship with Infotex or cause Infotex to raise the prices at which it provides products to Buyer. Should Infotex attempt to raise such prices, or if Buyer believes in good faith that the Performance Standard is in jeopardy of not being met for any three month period, Buyer shall immediately notify NutraMax, and Sellers shall have the right to participate in negotiations with Infotex in connection with such proposed price increases or such claimed nonperformance. At any time after ten (10) days following the date of such notice to NutraMax, nothing herein shall preclude Buyer from accepting products from Infotex at higher prices if a failure to accept such products would have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.3(d) shall relieve Buyer and Buyer Parent of their duty hereunder to pursue all remedies reasonably available to them in order to enforce the terms of the Supply Agreement, including but not limited to the price terms set forth on Addendum A to Amendment One to the Supply Agreement, and any relief granted to the Buyers pursuant to such remedies shall be taken into account in calculating the relevant Invoiced Amount. In addition, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase supplies from Infotex in preference to manufacturing products in its United States manufacturing facility during the twelve month period subsequent to the Closing Date and shall not make any decision to manufacture products in its United States manufacturing facility with the primary intent of avoiding any payment to NutraMax pursuant to this Section 3.3. Upon a material breach by Buyer of its obligations under
9
this Section 3.3(d), (i) the entire remaining balance of the Supply Agreement Escrow Amount, plus interest on such amount at a rate of 6% per annum calculated from the Closing Date until the date that the payment is actually made, shall immediately be released to NutraMax in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the maximum Bonus Payment Amount shall become immediately payable to NutraMax as set forth in Section 3.2(b).
(e) Any dispute as to whether Infotex has met the Performance Standard under the Supply Agreement shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association for resolution in accordance with its rules in effect at that time. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction hereof.

12.4 Notice; Payment of Losses; Defense of Claims.
(a) Notice of Claims. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of any claim, liability or expense to which the indemnification obligations hereunder would apply, the indemnified party shall give notice thereof in writing (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party promptly will not
24
relieve the indemnifying party from any liability except (i) to the extent that the indemnifying party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of the failure or delay in giving such Claim Notice and (ii) that no indemnification will be payable to an indemnified party with respect to any claim for which the Claim Notice is given after the Indemnification Cut-Off Date for such claim. Such Claim Notice shall state the information then available regarding the amount and nature of such claim, liability or expense and shall specify the provision or provisions of this Agreement under which the liability or obligation is asserted.
(b) Third Party Claims. In the case of any third party claim, if within ten (10) business days after receiving the notice described in the preceding paragraph the indemnifying party gives written notice (the “Defense Notice”) to the indemnified party stating that (i) it may be liable under the provisions hereof for indemnity in the amount of such claim if such claim were successful and (ii) that it disputes and intends to defend against such claim, liability or expense at its own cost and expense, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the indemnifying party (subject to the consent of the indemnified party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the indemnified party shall not be required to make any payment with respect to such claim, liability or expense as long as the indemnifying party is conducting a good faith defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the assumption of defense of any such matters by the indemnifying party shall relate solely to the claim, liability or expense that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification.
(c) The indemnifying party shall have the right, with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled provided the indemnifying parties’ obligation to indemnify the indemnified party therefore will be fully satisfied. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish the indemnified party with all documents and information that the indemnified party shall reasonably request and shall consult with the indemnified party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, the indemnified party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the expense of separate counsel for the indemnified party shall be paid by the indemnifying party.
If no Defense Notice is given by the indemnifying party, or if a good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall, at the expense of the indemnifying party, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the indemnified party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense. If such claim, liability or expense is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall make available all information and assistance that the indemnifying party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in such defense.
12.5 Purchase Price Adjustment. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.
25
12.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, after the Closing, this Section 12 shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy for claims for indemnification for Losses arising from a breach of the representations and warranties, covenants or other agreement or any other claim arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the remedy available to a party for (i) claims arising out of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach or (ii) claims arising out of breaches of Sections 8.1 (Confidentiality) and 9.1 (Confidentiality).

B-4
disappearance or injury to any of the merchandise, equipment, furniture, fixtures, and/or any other personal property of Tenant, or in the possession or custody of Tenant, regardless of the cause of such damage, injury, disappearance or loss.
Tenant shall procure, pay for and maintain comprehensive general public liability insurance and property damage insurance providing coverage from any loss or damage occasioned by an accident or casualty, arising from use of the Premises by Tenant, its employees, agents, guests and invitees in amounts not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence with an aggregate of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) coverage for bodily injury, death and property damage with overlying excess liability coverage of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or such other limits as Owner may, from time to time designate by notice to Tenant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Tenant’s worker’s insurance, said coverage shall be the greater of (i) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and (ii) the minimum amount required by law in Texas. It is further agreed that a certificate of the Liability Policies shall be delivered to Owner by Tenant upon request of Owner. All insurance provided for in this Article to be obtained by Tenant shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies in form satisfactory to Owner, issued by insurers of recognized responsibility and each such policy shall name Owner as an additional insured. All such insurance policies shall be written on an “occurrence” basis and shall state that such insurance obtained by Tenant is primary over any insurance carried by Owner, and each worker’s compensation, employer’s liability, automobile liability policy and all other liability policies shall include a wavier of subrogation in favor of Owner. Certificates of such insurance naming Owner as an additional insured shall be delivered to Owner and shall provide that said coverage shall not be changed, modified, reduced or canceled except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Owner, with the exception of cancellation for non-payment, in which case, upon ten (10) days.
If Tenant shall fail to comply with any of the foregoing requirements relating to insurance, Owner may, at its option, obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Owner upon demand as additional rent the costs of the premiums therefor.
12.02. Owner’s Insurance. Owner agrees to maintain at its sole cost and expense throughout the term of this Lease, one or more policies of fire and standard extended coverage insurance that shall include the Premises (excluding Tenant’s leasehold improvements, fixtures, equipment, merchandise and other personal property from time to time located on the Premises) providing protection against perils included within the standard form of all-risk insurance policy issued by insurance companies in the State of Texas.
13.0 | DAMAGE TO THE PREMISES: |
In the event the Premises and/or the improvements of which the Premises are a part shall be totally destroyed by fire or other casualty or so badly damaged that, in the opinion of Owner, it is not feasible to repair or rebuild same, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant. If, as determined by Owner, (i) the Premises shall be partially untenantable thereby and (ii) the remaining tenantable portion of the Premises is less than the Maximum Square Footage as defined hereinafter, then appropriate reduction of the Monthly Rent shall be allowed for the unoccupied portion of the Maximum Square Footage until repair thereof shall be substantially completed. “Maximum Square Footage” as used herein shall be equal to 50,000 square feet. If the entire Premises are rendered untenantable thereby, except if caused by Tenant’s negligence, Tenant may, at its election, terminate this Lease as of the date of

14.04.03 Any oil, petroleum products and their byproducts; and 14.04.04 Any substance which is or becomes regulated by any federal, state, or local governmental authority.

Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Owner and its agents from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and consultant fees, court costs, and litigation expenses) of whatever kind or nature, know or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of or in any way related to:
14.05.01. | The presence, disposal, release, or threatened release of any such Hazardous Material which affects soil, water, vegetation, buildings, personal property, persons, animals, or otherwise; |

Owner may enter by means of a master key without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant’s property and without affecting this Lease. Owner shall use reasonable efforts on any such entry not to unreasonably interrupt or interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises and Owner shall notify Tenant prior to entry except in cases of an emergency.
16.0 | DEFAULT - REMEDIES OF OWNER: |
16.01 In an event of non-monetary default in the terms hereof by Tenant and failure of Tenant to cure such non-monetary default within ten (10) business days after written notice of default from Owner, or alternatively in an event of a monetary default of which no notice is required, and failure of Tenant to cure such default within three (3) business days, Owner shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to all other remedies at law or equity, and none of the following, whether or not exercised by Owner, shall preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy whether herein set forth or existing at law or equity.
16.01.01 | Owner shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice in writing, and upon the giving of such notice, this Lease and the term hereof as well as all the right, title and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall wholly cease and expire in the same manner and with the same force and effect on the date specified in such notice as if such date were the Expiration Date of the term of this Lease, without the necessity of re-entry or any other act on Owner’s part. Upon termination, tenant shall quit and surrender to Owner the Premises. If this Lease is so terminated by Owner, Owner shall be entitled to recover from Tenant as damages, in addition to other costs, damages, charges or obligations under this Lease, the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of the term of this Lease (which shall be calculated on the then current rent under this Lease) in excess of the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period plus all cost and expenses of Owner caused by Tenant’s default. |
16.01.02 | Owner may, without demand, or notice, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, repossess the same and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant, and remove the effect of any and all such persons (forcibly, if necessary) without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or preceding breach of covenants. Should Owner elect to re-enter as provided in this Section 16.01, or should Owner take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by the law, Owner may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such other conditions as Owner may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to Premises. No such re-entry or repossession of the Premises shall be construed as an election on Owner’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of termination is given to Tenant by Owner. No such re-entry or repossession of the Premises shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligation under this Lease, all which shall survive such re-entry or repossession. Upon the |
B-7
occurrence of such re-entry or repossession, Owner shall be entitled to damages in the amount of the Monthly Rent, and any other sums, which would be payable hereunder if such re-entry or repossession had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of reletting of the Premises after deduction all owner’s expenses in connection with such reletting, including, but without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorney’s fees expenses of employees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such liquidated damages to Owner on the days on which the Rent or any other sums due hereunder would have been payable if possession had not been retaken. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess, if any, of net Rent collected by Owner as a result of such reletting over the sums payable by Tenant to Owner hereunder. |
16.01.03 | No remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Owner shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by Statute. Further, all powers and remedies given by this Lease to Owner may be exercised, from time to time, and as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Owner to exercise any right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be considered to be a waiver of such default or acquiescence thereof. The acceptance of rental by Owner shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach of any of the covenants herein contained or of any of the rights of Owner to any remedies herein given |
17.0 | INDEMNIFICATION OF OWNER: |
Tenant shall pay, protect, defend and indemnify Owner and save it harmless from and against any and all loss (including loss of rentals payable by Tenant in the event of loss either directly or indirectly caused by commission or omission of Tenant), claims, actions, damages, liability and expenses in connection with loss of life, personal injury and damage to property arising from any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises or any party thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, servants, licensees, or concessionaires or invitees or by anyone permitted to be on the Premises by Tenant. In case Owner shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold Owner harmless and shall pay all cost, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid by Owner in connection with such litigation. All personal property on the Premises shall be at Tenant’s sole risk, and Owner shall not be liable for any damage done to or loss of such personal property, or for damage or loss suffered by Tenant.

B-8
20.0 | CONDEMNATION: |
If more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises, shall be taken by eminent domain, or by conveyance in lieu thereof, and if such taking interferes substantially with Tenant’s use of the Premises, then this Lease, at the option of either party evidenced by notice to the other given within thirty (30) days from the taking or conveyance, shall forthwith cease and terminate entirely. In the event of such termination of this Lease, then rental shall be due and payable to the actual date of such termination. If less than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises shall be taken, or if more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises is taken and neither party terminates this Lease, this Lease shall cease and terminate as to that portion of the Premises so taken as of the date of taking, and the rental thereafter payable under this Lease shall be abated pro rata from the date of such taking in an amount by which that portion of the structural portion of the Premises so taken shall bear to the Maximum Square Footage prior to such taking. If any part of the buildings or real property shall be taken by eminent domain, or by conveyance in lieu thereof, and if such taking substantially interferes with Owner’s ownership or use of the buildings, Owner, at its option, may, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease as of such taking.

22.0 | INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS: |
Any amount due to Owner not paid when due shall bear interest at eight percent (8%) per annum month from due date until paid. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.

In such event, the Tenant shall, on written demand of the Owner, forthwith remit to the Owner a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If the Security Deposit has not been utilized as aforesaid, and no obligations under this lease notwithstanding and refunded, the Security Deposit, or as much thereof as has not been utilized for such purposes, shall be refunded to the Tenant, without interest, upon full performance of this Lease by the Tenant. Owner shall have the right to commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of the Owner, Owner shall deliver the funds deposited herein by the Tenant to any purchaser of the Owner’s interest in the Premises in the event such interest be sold, and thereupon, the Owner shall be discharged from further liability with respect to the Security Deposit.

The Escrow Parties understand that, in the event one or more tax identification number is not certified to the Escrow Agent, the Internal Revenue Code, as amended from time to time, may require withholding of a portion of any interest or other income earned on the Initial Deposit.
If at any time all or any portion of the Escrow Fund is released to NutraMax, Buyer and NutraMax agree that the interest earned on such portion of the Escrow Fund as of such release date shall be paid to NutraMax; provided, however, that the amount of such interest shall be credited against any amounts payable by Buyer to NutraMax under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. If the entire Initial Deposit is paid to Buyer under the terms of this Escrow
E-2
Agreement, then the parties hereto covenant and agree to provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay to the Buyer all of the interest earned on the Initial Deposit and requesting that Escrow Agent assign to the account in which the Escrow Fund is being held the tax identification number certified by Buyer, it being understood by the Escrow Parties that interest earned on the Escrow Fund for any given tax year will be reported by the Escrow Agent based on the tax identification number assigned to the account as of the last day of said tax year.
4. Deposit of the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Fund in one or more money market accounts at Mellon Trust of New England, N.A. Deposits shall in all instances be subject to the Escrow Agent’s standard funds availability policy. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate fluctuation or early withdrawal penalty. The Escrow Parties understand that deposits of the Escrow Fund are not necessarily insured by the United States Government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or of any state or municipality, and that such deposits do not necessarily earn a fixed rate of return. In no instance shall the Escrow Agent have any obligation to provide investment advice of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any deposits made pursuant to this Section 4, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent.
5. Release of the Indemnification Escrow Fund.
(a) Claims Against Indemnification Escrow Fund. From and after the date hereof at any time or times on or before the first anniversary of the date hereof (the “Anniversary Date”), Buyer may make claims against the Indemnification Escrow Fund. Buyer shall notify NutraMax and the Escrow Agent in writing on or before the Anniversary Date of each such claim, including a specific dollar amount of the claim and a summary of bases for such claim. The Escrow Agent is entitled to disregard any claims which are not specified by notice given in the manner provided and received on or before the Anniversary Date. If NutraMax shall dispute such claim, NutraMax shall cause written notice to be delivered to Buyer and to the Escrow Agent within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice of Buyer’s claim by the Escrow Agent, in which case the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold in the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement the amount specified by Buyer in its notice of claim; otherwise, such claim shall be deemed to have been acknowledged to be payable out of the Indemnification Escrow Fund in the full amount and the Escrow Agent shall use its best efforts to pay such claim in immediately available funds to Buyer within three (3) business days after expiration of said twenty-day period or as soon thereafter as possible.
(b) Disputed Claims. If NutraMax shall dispute a claim of Buyer as provided in subsection 5(a) above and the disputed claim has not been resolved or compromised within thirty (30) days after NutraMax sends notice of dispute of the same as provided above, said claim shall be referred to the American Arbitration Association to be settled by binding arbitration. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for any fee or expense of any party to any arbitration proceeding. Upon completion of the arbitration, the Escrow Parties shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent as to the resolution of the dispute, attaching a copy of any relevant arbitration decision, and instructing the Escrow Agent as to funds to be
E-3
disbursed. The Escrow Agent shall use its best efforts to make such payment out of the Indemnification Escrow Fund within three (3) business days following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of written notice of said determination or as soon thereafter as possible.
(c) Joint Written Instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Escrow Agent receives written instructions from all of the Escrow Parties, or their respective successors or assigns, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, as to the disbursement of the Indemnification Escrow Fund (“Joint Written Instructions”), the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Indemnification Escrow Fund pursuant to such Joint Written Instruction. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to follow any directions set forth in any Joint Written Instructions unless and until the Escrow Agent is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that the persons executing said Joint Written Instructions are authorized to do so.
(d) Indemnification Escrow Release Date. On the next business day following the Anniversary Date, any amounts remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be released to NutraMax; provided, however, that one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of any pending claims against the Indemnification Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 5(b) on the Anniversary Date shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent pending the resolution of such claims in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b).
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any amount to be released at any time or under any circumstances exceeds the balance in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall release such amount and shall have no liability or responsibility to the Escrow Parties for any deficiency.
6. Release of the Supply Agreement Escrow Fund.
(a) Joint Written Instructions. The Escrow Agent shall disburse the Supply Agreement Escrow Fund pursuant to Joint Written Instruction delivered, from time to time, to the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Parties. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to follow any directions set forth in any Joint Written Instructions unless and until the Escrow Agent is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that the persons executing said Joint Written Instructions are authorized to do so.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any amount to be released at any time or under any circumstances exceeds the balance in the Supply Agreement Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall release such amount and shall have no liability or responsibility to the Escrow Parties for any deficiency.
7. Methods of Payment. All payments required to be made by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer or by cashier’s check made payable to the relevant Escrow Party, as elected by the party receiving the funds. Any wire transfers shall be made subject to, and in accordance with, the Escrow Agent’s normal funds transfer procedures in effect from time to time. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon all bank and account information provided to the Escrow Agent by any of the Escrow Parties. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to verify or otherwise confirm any written wire transfer instructions but it may do so in its discretion on any occasion without incurring any liability to any of the Escrow
E-4
Parties for failing to do so on any other occasion. The Escrow Agent shall process all wire transfers based on bank identification and account numbers rather than the names of the intended recipient of the funds, even if such numbers pertain to a recipient other than the recipient identified in the payment instructions. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to detect any such inconsistencies and shall resolve any such inconsistencies by using the account number.
8. Responsibilities and Liability of Escrow Agent.
(a) Duties Limited. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent’s duties shall be determined only with reference to this Agreement and applicable laws and it shall have no implied duties. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by, deemed to have knowledge of, or have any obligation to make inquiry into or consider, any term or provision of any agreement between any of the Escrow Parties and/or any other third party or as to which the escrow relationship created by this Agreement relates, including without limitation any documents referenced in this Agreement.
(b) Limitations on Liability of Escrow Agent. Except in cases of the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected (i) in acting in reliance upon any certificate, statement, request, notice, advice, instruction, direction, other agreement or instrument or signature reasonably and in good faith believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine, (ii) in assuming that any person purporting to give the Escrow Agent any of the foregoing in connection with either this Agreement or the Escrow Agent’s duties, has been duly authorized to do so, and (iii) in acting or failing to act in good faith on the advice of any counsel retained by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or law or any error of judgment, or for any act or omission, except as a result of its bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss incurred upon any action taken under circumstances not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
In connection with any payments that the Escrow Agent is instructed to make by wire transfer, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of (a) any Escrow Party or other person providing such instructions, including without limitation errors as to the amount, bank information or bank account number; or (b) any other person or entity, including without limitation any Federal Reserve Bank, any transmission or communications facility, any funds transfer system, any receiver or receiving depository financial institution, and no such person or entity shall be deemed to be an agent of the Escrow Agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that in no event will the Escrow Agent be liable for any lost profits or other indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages which the parties may incur or experience by reason of having entered into or relied on this Agreement or arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s services, even if the Escrow Agent was advised or otherwise made aware of the possibility of such damages; nor shall the Escrow Agent be liable for acts of God, acts of war, breakdowns or malfunctions of machines or computers, interruptions or malfunctions of communications or power supplies, labor difficulties, actions of public authorities, or any other similar cause or catastrophe beyond the Escrow Agent’s reasonable control.
E-5
In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights under this Agreement, or shall receive any certificate, statement, request, notice, advice, instruction, direction or other agreement or instrument from any other party with respect to the Escrow Funds which, in the Escrow Agent’s reasonable and good faith opinion, is in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or shall be advised that a dispute has arisen with respect to the Escrow Fund or any part thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, without liability to any person, to refrain from taking any action other than to keep safely the Escrow Fund until the Escrow Agent shall be directed otherwise in accordance with Joint Written Instructions or an order of a court with jurisdiction over the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to institute or defend any legal proceedings, although the Escrow Agent may, in its discretion and at the expense of the Escrow Parties as provided in subsections (c) or (d) immediately below, institute or defend such proceedings.
(c) Indemnification of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings, investigations, judgments, deficiencies, damages, settlements, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of attorneys chosen by the Escrow Agent) as and when incurred, arising out of or based upon any act, omission, alleged act or alleged omission by the Escrow Agent or any other cause, in any case in connection with the acceptance of, or performance or non-performance by the Escrow Agent of, any of the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement, except as a result of the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(d) Authority to Interplead. The Escrow Parties authorize the Escrow Agent, if the Escrow Agent is threatened with litigation or is sued, to interplead all interested parties in any court of competent jurisdiction and to deposit the Escrow Fund with the clerk of that court. In the event of any dispute, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction and shall perform any acts ordered by such court.
9. Termination. This Agreement and all the obligations of the Escrow Agent shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the release of the entire Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement or the deposit of the Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 8(d) hereof.
10. Removal of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Parties acting together shall have the right to terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent, specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation to the Escrow Parties except to hold the Escrow Fund as depository and not otherwise. The Escrow Parties agree that they will jointly appoint a banking corporation, trust company or attorney as successor escrow agent. Escrow Agent shall refrain from taking any action until it shall receive joint written instructions from the Escrow Parties designating the successor escrow agent. Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the Escrow Fund to such successor escrow agent in accordance with such instructions and upon receipt of the Escrow Fund, the successor escrow agent shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.
X-0
00. Resignation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder at any time by giving no less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Escrow Parties, specifying the date when such resignation will take effect. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation to the Escrow Parties except to hold the Escrow Fund as depository and not otherwise. In the event of such resignation, the Escrow Parties agree that they will jointly appoint a banking corporation, trust company, or attorney as successor escrow agent within ten (10) days of notice of such resignation. Escrow Agent shall refrain from taking any action until it shall receive joint written instructions from the Escrow Parties designating the successor escrow agent.

The Escrow Parties each acknowledge their joint and several obligation to pay any expenses and other amounts owed to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement. The Escrow Parties agree that Escrow Agent shall be entitled to pay itself for any expenses or other amounts owed to the Escrow Agent out of the amounts held in the Escrow Fund and grant to the Escrow Agent a first priority security interest in the Escrow Fund to secure all obligations owed by them to the Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

TRANSITION SERVICE AGREEMENT
THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of November [__], 2007 (the “Effective Date”) by and among F.A. Products L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“FAP”), First Aid Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“First Aid”), NutraMax Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NutraMax” and, together with FAP and First Aid, the “Sellers”), and Derma First Aid Products, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Buyer”) (collectively Sellers and Buyer may be referred to herein as either a “Party”, or the “Parties”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Sellers and Buyer are parties to a certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated November [__], 2007 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Buyer is purchasing from Sellers substantially all of the assets exclusively related to or used by Seller in connection with the Business (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Sellers have agreed to provide the services hereinafter defined to Buyer for a limited transition period after the Closing Date of the transactions provided for in the Asset Purchase Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
2. Services:
(a) Provision of Services. Commencing on the Closing Date and continuing throughout the Transition Period (as defined in Section 4), unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Sellers shall provide to Buyer certain corporate overhead and accounting transition services to assist Buyer in the transition of the Business and Purchased Assets into its own operations, as more specifically set forth in Annex A attached hereto (the “Services”).
(b) Quality of Sellers’ Services. Sellers shall provide or cause to be provided all Services in the manner and at a relative level of service consistent in all material respects with, but in no event materially higher or lower than, the typical level of service provided by Sellers or their affiliates to the Business immediately prior to the date hereof; provided that in no event are such Services deemed to be expert services.
(c) Sellers shall not be obligated to provide any services to Buyer other than the Services; provided that (i) if any service that Sellers provided related to the Business in the
F-1
ordinary course of business immediately prior to the date hereof and that is of a transitional nature is inadvertently omitted from the list of Services or (ii) if Buyer requires additional services of a transitional nature, then Buyer and Sellers agree to negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to include such services (to the extent, and only to the extent, that such services can be provided without resulting in a material cost or significant disruption to Sellers) in Annex A at a cost to be determined in good faith, using the same methodology as Sellers used to determine the costs set forth in Annex A. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Sellers to provide priority to Buyer with respect to the Services over Sellers’ businesses or those of its affiliates, Subsidiaries or divisions.
(d) Costs, Billing and Payments. In consideration of the provision of the Services by Sellers, Buyer shall pay NutraMax Products, Inc. an amount in cash equal to Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) per month, plus leased line costs not to exceed One Thousand, Seven Hundred Dollars ($1,700) per month for systems support incurred by Sellers in connection with the provision of the Services. Sellers shall issue Buyer invoices for the Services at the beginning of each month during the Transition Period. Buyer shall promptly pay any bills and invoices that it receives from Sellers or their affiliates for the Services. All invoices shall be paid by wire transfer in accordance with the instructions provided by Sellers (in writing to Buyer) not later than ten (10) days following receipt by Buyer of Sellers’ invoice, unless such invoice is disputed in good faith within ten (10) days after receipt of such invoice. In the event that Buyer fails to make payment to Sellers within ten (10) days following receipt by Buyer of Sellers’ invoice (other than any invoice that was timely disputed in good faith), Sellers may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Buyer, and the amount of any such outstanding invoice shall bear interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum until the overdue amount plus any applicable interest thereon is paid in full. Buyer shall not offset any amounts owing to it by any Seller or any of Sellers’ affiliates against amounts payable by Buyer hereunder.
3. General Intent. Sellers shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to provide the Services at the price set forth in Annex A during the Transition Period and such other transition assistance as the parties may otherwise agree. Buyer agrees to use its reasonable commercial efforts to end its need to use such assistance as soon as reasonably practicable and in all events to end such need with respect to each Transition Service not later than the end of the Transition Period pursuant to Section 4.
4. Transition Period. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from such date (unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof) (the “Transition Period”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no termination of this Agreement or expiration of the Transition Period shall affect Buyer’s obligation to make payments due hereunder.
5. Relationship Between the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall cause the relationship between Sellers and Buyer to be deemed to constitute an agency, partnership or joint venture. The terms of this Agreement are not intended to cause any of the Parties to become a joint employer for any purpose. Each of the Parties agrees that the provisions of this Agreement as a whole are not intended to, and do not, constitute control of the other Party or provide it with the ability to control such other Party, and each Party hereto expressly disclaims any right or power under this Agreement to exercise any power whatsoever over the management or policies
F-2
of the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate either Party hereto to act in breach of the requirements of any applicable Legal Requirement.
6. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that such consent shall not be required (i) for assignments and transfers by operation of law, (ii) in the event Sellers assign any or all of their rights, interests and obligations hereunder to a Person with whom Sellers merges or to whom Sellers sells all or substantially all of its assets and (iii) for assignments and transfers by either party to one or more of its Subsidiaries or affiliates. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section shall be null and void.
7. Confidentiality. Each of the parties will hold, and will cause its affiliates and representatives to hold, in strict confidence from any Person (other than any such affiliate or representative), unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of any Law, all confidential or competitively sensitive information received in connection with the provision of the Services, except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) in the public domain (either prior to or after the furnishing of such information) through no fault of such party or its affiliates or its representatives or (ii) later acquired by such party, its affiliates or its representatives from another source if such party, its affiliates or its representatives is unaware that such source is under an obligation to the other party to keep such information confidential. This duty shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement, and any renewals or extensions thereof, and after termination thereof for a period of three (3) years.
8. Limitation of Liability. Neither party shall be liable to the other party or any third party for any special, punitive, consequential, incidental or exemplary damages (including lost or anticipated revenues or profits relating to the same) arising from any claim relating to this Agreement or any of the services provided hereunder, whether such claim is based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence or strict liability) or otherwise, even if an authorized representative of such party is advised of the possibility or likelihood of the same. In addition, neither party shall be liable to the other party or any third party for any direct damages from any claim arising or allegedly arising from providing or failing to provide the Services or any other services, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such claims arise from gross negligence, reckless or willful misconduct or fraud.
9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
10. Notices. All notices shall be provided in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
11. Force Majeure. If either party is prevented from complying, either totally or in part, with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement by reason of fire, flood, storm, strike, lockout or other labor trouble, any law, demand or other requirement of any governmental authority, riot,
F-3
war, rebellion, acts of terrorism, acts of the public enemy or other causes beyond the reasonable control of such party or other acts of God, then upon written notice to the other party, the affected provisions and/or other requirements of this Agreement shall be suspended during the period of such disability (the “Disability Period”) and the affected party shall have no obligation to extend such Services and shall have no liability to the other party or any other party in connection therewith. The affected party shall make all reasonable efforts to remove such disability within thirty (30) days after giving notice of such usability.
12. Captions. The captions herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof. All references to an Article or Section include all subparts thereof.
13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original with the same effect as if the signatures thereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Parties hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto.
14. Entire Agreement; Waivers. This Agreement (including the Annex referred to herein which is incorporated by reference) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if and only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by all Parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.
15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Party, place or circumstance, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions as applied to other Parties, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.

Litigation
There is an Office Action pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) dated April 4, 2007 which states that there is a break in the chain of title of the trademark “White Cross” which prevents the Section 8 Affidavit establishing ownership, because the USPTO’s records show the registration being issued to American White Cross Laboratories, Inc. and then a subsequent assignment from The American White Cross with no intervening assignment from American White Cross Laboratories, Inc. to American White Cross. This discrepancy in name led the USPTO to say these two are not the same entity, and therefore there is a break in the chain of title. This discrepancy is the result of a merger of The American White Cross Laboratories, Inc. into NPM Healthcare Products, Inc. and simultaneous name change to American White Cross, Inc. that was not reported to the USPTO at the time. On August 3, 2007, the Company filed the Certificate of Merger related to the name change to American White Cross, Inc. with the USPTO.
