The Purpose of the Compensation Committee

The purpose of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Nutrastar International Inc. (the “Company”) is to represent and assist the Board of Directors to discharge the responsibilities of the Company’s Board of Directors relating to compensation of the Company’s executives, to produce an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement, and to oversee and advise the Board of Directors of the Company on the adoption of policies that govern the Company’s compensation programs, including stock and benefit plans.

Membership and Structure

The membership of the Compensation Committee consists of at least three directors, all of whom shall (a) meet the independence requirements established by the Board of Directors of the Company and applicable laws, regulations and listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, (b) be a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (c) be an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Board of Directors of the Company appoints the members of the Compensation Committee and the chairperson of the Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors of the Company may remove any member from the Compensation Committee at any time with or without cause.

Operations

The Compensation Committee meets in person or telephonically at least twice a year. Additional meetings may occur as the Compensation Committee or its chairperson deems advisable. The Compensation Committee may take action by unanimous written consent in lieu of meeting. The Compensation Committee will cause adequate minutes of all its proceedings to be kept, and will report on its actions and activities at the next quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Compensation Committee members will be furnished with copies of the minutes of each meeting and any action taken by unanimous consent. The Compensation Committee is governed by the same rules regarding meetings (including meetings by conference telephone or similar communications equipment), action without meetings, notice, waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements as are applicable to the Board of Directors of the Company.
