Such additional payments shall continue through the calendar quarter during which the [Confidential Treatment Requested] anniversary of the Scanner Production Date occurs (the “First Period”); provided that if (i) Purchaser has distributed at least [Confidential Treatment Requested] Scanners in the United States during the First Period, and (ii) the total payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) do not equal Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), then Purchaser shall pay Sellers an additional amount necessary to bring the total payments under this Section 2.2(a) to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000); provided further, however, that the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.2 (a) through Section 2.2 (c) hereof shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

          (b)       If the aggregate amount paid to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), then, as described in Section 2.2(d) hereof, after the end of each calendar quarter during the year immediately following the First Period (the “Second Period”), Purchaser shall pay to Sellers in the aggregate cash consideration in an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of Scanned/Downline Nutritional Sales made during such quarter; provided that the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof, this Section 2.2(b) and Section 2.2 (c) hereof shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

          (c)       If the aggregate amount paid to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof and Section 2.2(b) hereof is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), then, as described in Section 2.2(d) hereof, after the end of each calendar quarter during the year immediately following the Second Period, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers in the aggregate cash consideration in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Scanned/Downline Nutritional Sales made during such quarter; provided, however, that the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof, Section 2.2(b) hereof and this Section 2.2(c) shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

          (d)       All amounts payable to Sellers under Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) or 2.2(c) shall be allocated among the Sellers in the percentages indicated on Schedule 2.2. Such

8

  amounts shall be paid to Sellers on the date that is twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Contingent Payment Notice (as defined below).

          (e)       All payments to be made pursuant to Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) shall be subject to the following provisions. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar quarter from the Scanner Production Date through the [Confidential Treatment Requested] anniversary of the Scanner Production Date, Purchaser shall deliver to each Seller a notice (the “Contingent Payment Notice”) setting forth the amount of Scanned/Downline Nutritional Sales for the period relevant to the calculation of the payment to be made pursuant to Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) or 2.2(c), as the case may be. If any Seller wishes to dispute the amount of such payment due then, within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the Contingent Payment Notice, such Seller must deliver to Purchaser a written notice setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the dispute. The failure of a Seller to deliver such written notice of dispute within the specified time period shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by such Seller of the information and calculations set forth in the Contingent Payment Notice. Promptly after the receipt of such written notice of dispute, an appropriate representative of Purchaser and the disputing Seller shall attempt to reconcile their differences and any resolution by them as to the dispute shall be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and each Seller. If Purchaser and the disputing Seller are not able to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) business days of the delivery of the notice indicating a dispute, Purchaser and the disputing Seller shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to an independent third party knowledgeable in such matters (which may be an independent accounting firm or consultant of national reputation) mutually acceptable to Purchaser and the disputing Seller, which shall, within ninety (90) days of such submission, report in writing to Purchaser and each Seller as to the resolution of such dispute, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and each Seller. The fees and disbursements of such third party shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller (or Sellers) asserting the dispute, on the other, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to such third party which are unsuccessfully disputed by Purchaser and such Sellers (as determined by the third party) bears to the total amount of disputed items so submitted. Purchaser will only be obligated to make payments to Sellers under Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) or 2.2(c) while a dispute is pending for amounts of payments under Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b), or 2.2(c) that are not in dispute under this Section 2.2.

          (f)       In the event Purchaser or its Affiliates are required to withhold taxes under applicable laws with respect to the contingent payments tied to a percentage of sales, Sellers acknowledge that the payments required to be paid under Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) shall be paid net of any such withholding taxes and the amount of such withholding taxes shall be considered part of the payment to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.2 and included in the determination of the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers.

         2.3      Assets and Liabilities of the Company at Closing.

         At the Closing, the Company shall own or possess only the Assets. Sellers, but excluding UURF, shall cause (a) all assets of the Company except the Assets to be distributed by

9

the Company to Sellers prior to the Closing and (b) all liabilities of the Company to be discharged in full prior to the Closing.

         2.4      Right of Offset.

          Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole option, to withhold and offset against any amount otherwise payable to any Seller, other than UURF, pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof an amount equal to the amount of any actual Purchaser's Losses in satisfaction of that Seller's indemnification obligations under Section 11 hereof with respect to such Purchaser's Loss. Purchaser shall have the right at its sole option to withhold and offset against any amount otherwise payable to UURF pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof an amount equal to the amount of any damages suffered by Purchaser due to a breach by UURF of any provision set forth in the UURF Statement of Representation and Warranties.

         2.5       Manner of Payment.

         All payments made to a Seller pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall be paid via wire transfer or other form of electronic funds transmission, by check or in certified funds pursuant to wire transfer and payment instructions for each Seller listed on Schedule 2.2 to this Agreement.

         2.6       Transfer Taxes.

29

suffered or incurred by them (including, without limitation, any claim, action, suit, injury, proceeding or investigation before any Governmental Authority or taxing authority brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (hereinafter a “Loss”), arising out of or resulting from:

           (i)        the breach by the indemnifying Seller of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2 and Section 3.6 hereof and the breach by any Seller of any representation or warranty made elsewhere in Section 3 hereof; or

           (ii)        the breach by the indemnifying Seller of any covenant or agreement made by such Seller in this Agreement; or

           (iii)        any Liabilities whether arising before or after the Closing Date, arising from or relating to the ownership or actions or inactions of the Company or the LLC or the conduct of their respective businesses prior to the Closing Date; or

           (iv)        any or all Losses suffered or incurred by reason of or in connection with any claim or cause of action of any third party to the extent (A) arising out of any action, inaction, event, condition, liability or obligation of the indemnifying Seller (to the extent such action, inaction, event, condition, liability or obligation is attributable to one or more specific Sellers), or (B) arising out of any action, inaction, event, conditon, liability or obligation of any Seller (to the extent such action, inaction, event, condition, liability or obligation is attributable to all Sellers or the Company), but only if occurring or existing prior to the Closing Date; or

           (v)        any and all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of the failure of the indemnifying Seller, the Company or the LLC to obtain prior to the Closing Date the consent of all third-parties who are parties to contracts with the Company or the LLC (including, but not limited to, the License), the terms of which such contracts require the consent of such third-parties to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

           (vi)        any and all Taxes with respect to any taxable period or a portion thereof, of the Company ending on or before the Closing Date; or

           (vii)        any and all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of any claim by any current or former stockholder, employee or consultant of Caroderm or the Company or any current or former member, employee or consultant of Spectrotek that relates to or arises out of any claim of entitlement by such stockholder or member to any fees, royalties or other compensation not expressly contemplated by the Transaction Agreements; or

           (viii)        any and all Losses suffered or incurred that relate to or arise out of any controversy with respect to the clarification of the scope of the fields of uses of the various licenses that is set forth in the MOU.

Any right of a Purchaser Indemnified Party to be indemnified and held harmless for Liabilities or

30

Losses pursuant to this Section 11.1(a) that arises under more than one of clauses (i) through (viii) above shall be deemed to arise out of each and every such clause that is applicable, so that the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under any applicable clause.

             (b)      Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall defend and indemnify Sellers (other than UURF) and hold Sellers (other than UURF) harmless from and against any Losses caused by third-party claims resulting from or arising out of (i) any Covenant Breach or Warranty Breach by Purchaser or (ii) claims arising from the operations of the Company after the Closing Date, including from the Company’s failure to pay any liabilities owed by it, provided that such liabilities relate to periods after the Closing Date.

             (c)       Except for any Losses arising out of a breach in the representations contained in Section 3.6 hereof, arising as a result of fraud or a breach of any covenant or agreement made by the applicable Sellers in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the convenant made by the applicable Sellers in Section 2.3 hereof), or arising as a result of any claim or controversy covered by Section 11.1(a)(vii) or Section 11.1(a)(viii) hereof, no claim may be made against the Sellers for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1(a) hereof with respect to any claims of Losses, unless, and then only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of all such Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000. The indemnification obligations of any Seller under Section 11.1(a)(i) and Section 11.1(a)(iii) through (vi) hereof related to a breach of a representation or warranty (excluding those arising out of a breach of the representations contained in Section 3.6 hereof or as a result of fraud or a breach of any covenant or agreement made by the applicable Sellers in this Agreement), and of the Purchaser to any Seller under Section 11.1(b) hereof, shall be effective only until the dollar amount paid by such Seller in respect of Losses indemnified against in Section 11.1(a) hereof, or by Purchaser to any Seller in respect of Losses indemnified against in Section 11.1(b) hereof, aggregates to an amount equal to the total Purchase Price paid to such Seller; provided, to the extent that Purchaser’s Losses exceed the total Purchase Price paid, such Losses will be deducted from any future payments of Purchase Price otherwise payable to such Seller under Section 2.2 hereof. To the extent that any person’s undertaking set forth in this Section 11.1 may be unenforceable, such person shall contribute the maximum amount that they are permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Losses incurred by a Seller, Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be.

             (d)       Any person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 11.1(a) or 11.1(b) hereof (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying party notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within 45 days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any indemnifying party from any of its obligations under this Section 11.1 except to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve any indemnifying party from any other obligation or Liability that they may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 11.1. The obligations and Liabilities of the parties under this Section 11.1 with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Section 11.1 (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed

31

by the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying party notice of such Third Party Claim within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any indemnifying party from any of its obligations under this Section 11.1 except to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve any indemnifying party from any other obligation or Liability that they may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 11.1. If an indemnifying party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then such indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at their expense and through counsel of its choice and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 15 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and any indemnifying party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the indemnifying party.
