COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Commitments
The Company maintains supply agreements with its suppliers and manufacturers. In 2016, the Company entered into a four-year supply agreement with a vendor to purchase an aloe vera powder in whole leaf aloe form and an aloe vera gel extract. The agreement has been amended and renews annually. As of December 31, 2022, the Company is required to purchase an aggregate of $7.9 million through 2024. Failure to satisfy minimum purchase requirements could result in the loss of exclusivity.

Royalty and Consulting Agreements
The Company utilizes royalty agreements with individuals and entities to provide compensation for items relating to developed products, websites and emails provided to our associates. The Company paid royalties of less than $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Employment Agreements
The Company has non-cancelable employment agreements with certain executives. If the employment relationships with these executives were terminated, as of December 31, 2022, the Company would continue to be indebted to the executives for $0.6 million, payable through 2023.

Korean Customs Audit
We resolved the Busan Customs Office audit of the Korean customs values for $0.1 million, which was $0.4 million lower than that had been accrued in the prior year. As we process commissions monthly, Mannatech Korea receives from Mannatech Inc. payments for members’ commissions and these intercompany payments are settled by way of netting set-off with other transactions. We are seeking an official ruling from the Ministry of Economy and Finance involving the netting of receivables / payables in foreign currency between a Korean resident and a non-resident and whether this should be reported to the Bank of Korea or a designated foreign exchange bank under compliance with the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act ("FETA") of Korea. If it is confirmed in the ruling that the above transactions are subject to the advance reporting requirement under the FETA, there is a possibility of a penalty for the violation.
