corporation, and Wiley Organics, Inc. dba Organic Technologies ("Organic"), an
Ohio corporation, shall be effective as of the first day of January, 2000 (the
"Effective Date"), and witnesses the following:
RECITALS
--------
WHEREAS, IMAGENETIX desires to enter into a multi-year exclusive contract with
ORGANIC for the purchase of formulations containing Cetyl myristoleate.
WHEREAS, Organic has technical and manufacturing ability to manufacture
formulations of Cetyl myristoleate and desires a multi-year contract with
IMAGENETIX to supply exclusively to IMAGENETIX all formulations containing Cetyl
myristoleate.
WHEREAS, IMAGENETIX has full legal authority to enter into this agreement with
ORGANIC for the purchase of formulations containing Cetyl myristoleate.
WHEREAS, Organic has demonstrated technical capability, manufacturing capacity,
and full legal authority to enter into this agreement with IMAGENETIX for the
manufacture and sale of formulations containing Cetyl myristoleate.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein set
forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
"CM" means the organic ester, Cetyl myristoleate and all formulations
containing the same. CM is formed from the reaction of Myristoleic acid
(cis-9-Tetradecenoic acid) and Cetyl alcohol (1-Hexadecanol). CM is derived
from petroleum and/or animal sources, is manufactured under Good
Manufacturing Practices and used by IMAGENETIX as a neutriceutical product.
"CMO-20" means CM that complies with the specification as set forth in
Attachment "A".
"CMA-20" means CM that complies with the specification as set forth in
Attachment "B".
"Calendar quarter" is defined as one fourth of a calendar year as measured
in three months increments beginning on January 1.
"Confidential Information" means valuable information, owned by IMAGENETIX
or ORGANIC as described in Attachment "C".
2. CM PURCHASE REQUIREMENT
ORGANIC agrees to make available to IMAGENETIX a maximum quantity of 3,000
kilograms of CM per calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement.
Page 1 of 11
IMAGENETIX may at its option, order either CMO-20 or CMA-20 from ORGANIC
and ORGANIC shall produce and sell said specified type of CM, provided
IMAGENETIX gives ORGANIC 90 day advance notice regarding the type of CM
requested.
If IMAGENETIX fails to specify the type of CM required, or fails to order
products in a timely manner as set forth in this agreement, ORGANIC will
have the option to manufacture and ship to IMAGENETIX those minimum
quantities of that type of CM which resulted in more orders over the
previous 90 day period, and invoice IMAGENETIX for the calendar quarterly
minimum quantities accordingly.
IMAGENETIX may place additional purchase orders for CM during the first
term or any renewal term of this agreement. In each and every case, if
IMAGENETIX issues orders in excess of the calendar quarter minimum, ORGANIC
shall have up to ninety (90) days after the date on which an order is
received from IMAGENETIX to produce and ship the additional CM.
Order dates shall determine the calendar quarter when each applicable
transaction occurs, i.e., if CM is ordered during the latter weeks of one
calendar quarter and delivered during the following calendar quarter, CM
will be counted in the earlier calendar quarter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, in the event
ORGANIC fails to ship to IMAGENETIX on a timely basis as set forth in this
agreement sufficient CM to satisfy all orders for any two consecutive
calendar quarters, IMAGENETIX will have the right to purchase CM from other
suppliers of IMAGENETIX's sole choosing. If IMAGENETIX elects to purchase
quantities of CM beyond ORGANIC's ability to supply, ORGANIC will have-an
additional 90 days to remedy the CM supply shortfall. Upon receipt by
IMAGENETIX of written notice from ORGANIC that it can supply all or a
fraction of the excess CM required by IMAGENETIX, IMAGENETIX shall reissue
orders to ORGANIC for the fraction of CM ORGANIC certifies it can supply,
provided that said additional amounts are still required by IMAGENETIX.
3. Price
The price for the first 3,000 kilograms of CM which is ordered on a
calendar quarterly basis shall be U.S.$70.00 per kilogram F.O.B. shipping
point. For each additional kilogram ordered beyond 3,000 kilograms per
calendar quarter, the price shall be U.S.$60.00 per kilogram. If the total
amount ordered in any one calendar quarter exceeds 6000 kilograms, Organic
shall discount all quantities ordered during said calendar quarter to
U.S.$60.00 per kilogram FOB shipping point.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if IMAGENETIX receives bona fide offers by
another company to supply CM that meets all of the specifications in
Attachments "A" and/or "B", and further, if IMAGENETIX seeks a price
reduction from ORGANIC based upon such a competitive offer, the parties
shall follow the following procedure to obtain price reductions from
ORGANIC.
a. IMAGENETIX shall send notice to ORGANIC that a lower competitive
price for CM has been received and that IMAGENETIX desires ORGANIC to
reduce its price for future purchases of CM to within 120% of the
competitive price.
Page 2 of 11
b. IMAGENETIX shall provide independently verifiable evidence of the
lower competitive offer and warrant that it receives or anticipates
receiving no economic interest in the entity offering CM at a lower
price, beyond the simple and straightforward purchase of CM.
c. ORGANIC shall have up to 90 days from the notice referred to in
3(a) to initiate a price reduction for future orders to within 120% of
the competitive price.
If ORGANIC provides the above Notice of CM Price Reduction to IMAGENETIX
within 90 days as indicated, and further, provided ORGANIC is supplying
quantities of CM ordered by IMAGENETIX and otherwise not in breach of this
agreement, ORGANIC shall thereby preserve its exclusive CM supply position
with IMAGENETIX.
If ORGANIC fails to provide Notice of CM Price Reduction within 90 days as
required, and thus fails to offer pricing within 120% of the competitive
offer, IMAGENETIX shall be free of requirements to purchase CM from ORGANIC
and this agreement shall be subject to immediate termination by either
party.
4. Ordering, Invoicing, Shipment and Payment Terms.
All orders for CM by IMAGENETIX shall be in writing, by Purchase Order in a
form acceptable to ORGANIC. ORGANIC shall provide IMAGENETIX with an
acceptable purchase order form upon execution of this Agreement.
Following each shipment of CM to IMAGENETIX, an invoice shall immediately
be sent by telecopy and U.S. Mail to IMAGENETIX describing the quantity of
CM shipped, the place where such Product is scheduled to be delivered, the
date of shipment, and the price. If IMAGENETIX fails to provide timely
shipping instructions to ORGANIC, ORGANIC shall have the right to invoice
and to expect payment for calendar quarter minimum quantities of CM
produced. In such cases, ORGANIC will hold CM for 90 days at no extra
charge, whether it is paid for or not, until shipping instructions are
received from IMAGENETIX. After 90 days Imagenetix shall be liable to pay
the costs of storage not to exceed area standard warehouse rates plus 20%.
Upon receipt of a valid invoice by telecopy for CM, IMAGENETIX will pay to
ORGANIC in cash or cash equivalent, the full amount due within thirty (30)
days of receipt of invoice. For purposes hereof, the parties agree that
payments are deemed made when actually received by ORGANIC.
All shipments of CM shall be made F.O.B. origin of manufacture. IMAGENETIX
shall designate the method of shipment reasonably well in advance of each
such shipment.

5. Specifications.
All CM supplied hereunder shall conform to the CM Specifications agreed
upon by IMAGENETIX and ORGANIC as detailed in Attachments "A" and "B",
attached hereto and made a part hereof. Any revisions or amendments to CM
specifications shall be in writing and must be agreed upon by both ORGANIC
and IMAGENETIX prior to the time any order for CM is issued by IMAGENETIX
that will be expected to conform to revised specifications.
6. Warranties.
ORGANIC agrees and warrants that all CM shipped or delivered shall conform
to the specifications set forth in Attachments "A" and/or "B" which is
incorporated herein by this reference.
ORGANIC warrants that CM delivered to, or at the direction of IMAGENETIX,
will at the time of shipment be free of defects and that IMAGENETIX will
receive good title to the product, free of all liens and encumbrances of
any kind. At the time of shipment of CM to IMAGENETIX, IMAGENETIX assumes
all ownership and control of CM, and shall thereafter assume all
responsibility for CM, including compliance with all laws and regulations
regarding CM further including compliance with U.S. Food and Drug
Administration laws and regulations.
ORGANIC warrants that it will manufacture CM in a good and workmanlike
manner consistent with Good Manufacturing Practices and maintain proper
sanitation practices appropriate to a product manufactured for human
consumption and will comply with all applicable Federal, State and local
laws, ordinances and regulations.
Inasmuch as ORGANIC has no control over the application of CM by IMAGENETIX
or other products with which it may be used and inasmuch as said product is
to be manufactured pursuant to specifications accepted by IMAGENETIX,
ORGANIC assumes no responsibility or liability for its CM beyond its
warranty that the product conforms to IMAGENETIX's specifications.
ORGANIC warrants that all CM furnished hereunder does not infringe on any
patent, trademark or copyright; that ORGANIC will, at its own expense,
defend any suit, with legal counsel of its choice, that may arise in
respect to CM composition of matter claims.
It is understood by both parties to this agreement that ORGANIC does not
direct or have control over the uses to which IMAGENETIX may employ CM.
Thus, IMAGENETIX shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ORGANIC and its
owners, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and
assigns from all loss and expense incurred on account of any such alleged
or actual infringement involving the uses to which IMAGENETIX employs CM
that is supplied by ORGANIC.
Inasmuch as IMAGENETIX has no control over the manufacturing of CM by
ORGANIC, IMAGENETIX assumes no responsibility for the manufacturing process
or for any product which does not conform to CM specifications, as set
forth in Attachments "A" or "B".
Page 4 of 11
ORGANIC warrants that it will reserve sufficient production capacity to
produce a minimum of 5,000 kilograms of CM per calendar quarter.

contain an endorsement requirement for the carrier to give the respective
parties at least ten days prior notice of cancellation of said policies.
8. Term.
This agreement shall commence on the Effective Date set forth on page 1 of
the agreement and shall continue for three (3) years unless it is
terminated by either or both parties in accordance with the provisions of
this agreement.
This agreement is an evergreen contract and thus it shall automatically
renew for additional increments of three (3) years unless terminated by
IMAGENETIX or ORGANIC. Termination at the end of any three year contract
period shall be implemented by delivering to the other party a Notice of
Termination at least 180 days prior to the end of any three year -contract

Attachments "A" or "B", said claim shall be processed as follows:
a. IMAGENETIX shall notify ORGANIC in writing or by facsimile of the
rejection within twenty (20) days of either the physical receipt

whichever occurs first. IMAGENETIX's Notice of Rejection shall
set forth the defect or conditions that are believed to cause the
nonconformity.
b. Upon Notification of Rejection, ORGANIC shall have the right to
inspect rejected Product at the rejection site, or to request a
sample of said rejected Product.
