Gross profits on the sale of all BSMI products shall be shared equally-BSMI 50%; and, BSFC-50%. Gross profit is defined as the difference between the "Base Cost" and "BSFC Sales Price." 2. BSFC Sales Price is defined as the price at which BSFC sells to any third party and collects payment from any third party, including but not limited to, all wholesale or retail sales, to franchisees or distributors, and whether domestic or international sales. The parties understand and agree that the price from BSMI to BSFC for the same product or products may vary and such prices will be set by BSFC in its sole discretion as long as there is a gross profit. 3. Base Cost is defined as the actual cost of ingredients for the product plus an overhead allowance for BSMI to be set at a minimum of 20% and not to exceed 100%, based on actual overhead expenses incurred and experienced by BSMI. Additionally, there shall be an overhead allowance for BSFC that shall be deemed to be one-half of the amount allocated for overhead for BSMI. Overhead for BSMI shall be divided among the various products based on percentage of sales during the preceding full calendar year. For example, if a product represented 15% of sales then 15% of the overhead will be allocated to that product, subject to the overhead allocation minimum of 20% and maximum of 100%. Prices for future products and/or changes to existing products shall be set based on this formula. Should this formula prove to be unbalanced and unfair to either company at the fiscal year end- June 30, 2005, a new formula will be negotiated. 4. Base Manufacturing Cost shall be calculated annually based on the audit of BSMI and adjustments in Base Manufacturing Cost made accordingly. Any overcharges by BSMI shall be repaid to BSFC within 30 days of the completion of the audit. During the first fiscal year of this agreement, as determined by BSMI's fiscal year end, the prices set forth below have been mutually agreed upon according to the above stated formula; Product Transfer Price BP-710 $15.95 BP-310 $17.98 BP-910 $11.04 Bio Catalyst $13.27 Bio Care G $ 9.42 Floor Soap $ 2.29 Hood & Stack $20.52 Wheels $20.52 DePlugger $ 9.45 Lift Station Extract $ 7.54 Buffer $ 2.88 BP-101 $ 6.77 BP-102 $20.83 Bio Care H2S $ 5.53 5
