RECITALS


WHEREAS, the Company primarily is in the business of developing and marketing of homeopathic nasal spray products for the over-the-counter market (the “Business”);


WHEREAS, Consultant, through its consultant, Kelly T. Hickel (“Hickel”), has unique experience, knowledge, expertise and talents relating to the Company’s business; and


WHEREAS, the Company desires to engage Consultant to provide consulting services to the Company, and Consultant is willing to perform such consulting services, both upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties to this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:




Section 1.  Consultancy.


(a)       The Company hereby engages Consultant to perform consulting services for the Company and Consultant hereby accepts such engagement, both upon the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.  Consultant hereby covenants and agrees that Consultant will use Consultant’s best efforts, skills and abilities faithfully to provide senior management of the Company and others affiliated with the Company with such consulting services as may be reasonably  requested  of  Consultant  by  the  chief  executive  officer  of  the  Company  (the “Company CEO”) management.  The consulting services (the “Services”) to be performed by Consultant  under  this  Agreement  are  described  in  Schedule  A  to  this  Agreement,  which Schedule A forms an integral part of this Agreement and may not be amended or supplemented except by a written document executed by both the Company and Consultant.  In performing the Services, Consultant shall report to the Board of Directors.


(b)       Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  in  this  Agreement,  it  is expressly understood and agreed by the Company that Consultant may engage in any other business or professional activities, provided, however, that such activities do not interfere with the performance of Consultant’ duties under this Agreement or that such engagement is with a entity which manufactures and/or distributes products that directly compete with the products






manufactured and/or distributed by the Company in conducting the Business as more fully set forth in paragraph 5(a).


(c)       Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  in  this  Agreement,  it  is expressly understood and agreed by the Company and Consultant that the engagement of Consultant by the Company pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute Consultant or Hickel as an employee, officer or agent of the Company, except to the extent as may hereafter be agreed upon by the Company and Consultant for a particular purpose and evidenced in writing by the parties.  In furtherance of such understanding and agreement, neither Consultant nor Hickel shall have the authority to obligate or commit the Company, nor shall Consultant nor Hickel enter into any negotiations, contract and/or agreement with any third party which shall in any way bind, obligate or commit the Company without the prior written consent of the Company CEO.


(d)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Services shall be performed by Hickel and no one else other than Hickel shall perform the Services without the Company’s prior written consent.

(d)       The Company and Consultant each acknowledge and agree that any remedy at law for a violation of any of the provisions of this Section 5, Sections 4 and 8 or paragraph 11(n) may not, in itself, adequate to protect such party, and each party shall therefore be entitled to specific performance or any other mode of injunctive and/or other equitable relief to enforce the party’s rights under this Agreement or any other relief a court may award.


Section 6.  Enforcement.   It is the desire and intent of the parties to this Agreement that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  Accordingly, to the extent that a restriction contained in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any jurisdiction where this Agreement may be subject to review and interpretation, the terms of such restriction, for the purpose only of the operation of such restriction in such jurisdiction, shall be the maximum restriction allowed by the laws of such jurisdiction and such restriction shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly in this Agreement.


Section  7.    Representations,  Warranties  and  Covenants  of  the Consultant.    Consultant hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that:


(a)

Consultant has the capacity to enter into this Agreement;


(b)       The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and compliance with the provisions of this agreement by Consultant will not conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any note, mortgage, agreement, contract or instrument to which Consultant is a party or which Consultant may be bound or affected; and


(c)

Hickel is available to perform the Services on behalf of Consultant.


Section 8.  Non-Disparagement.  The parties to this Agreement mutually agree not to publish, communicate or disseminate any negative information as regards each other, or to make public any information regarding this Agreement to the public, suppliers, vendors and other industry participants, or in any way to any other person, except that a party may disclose the contents of this Agreement to such party’s respective financial advisors, accountants and attorneys and as required by law.  The parties further agree that any breach of this Section 8 by a party will cause the other party substantial and irreparable damages that would not be quantifiable and, therefore,






in the event of any such breach, in addition to other remedies that may be available, such other party shall have the right to seek specific performance and other injunctive and equitable relief.


Section 9.   Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.   The Company represents, warrants and covenants to Consultant that:


(a)       The Company is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, having the corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and possesses all licenses, franchises, rights and privileges material to the conduct of its business, taken as a whole; neither the character of the properties owned or leased by the Company nor the nature of its business as transacted by it requires the Company to be qualified in any other jurisdiction, except in those jurisdictions where the Company is so qualified or those jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify would not materially adversely affect the business, properties or operations of the Company, taken as a whole;
