Page 5: Distributor Agreement 4-08

allegedly defective items must be set aside for inspection by Supplier and returned to Supplier (at Supplier's expense) if so requested by Supplier. Supplier will be responsible only for defects in Products or packaging. In the event that any Product is established to Supplier’s satisfaction to have been defective at time of sale to Distributor, the sole responsibility of Supplier will be to replace the Product it deems to be defective. No monetary credit will be issued. In no event will Supplier be responsible for incidental or consequential damages.

9.  Product Warranty Policies. Supplier shall provide to Distributor information with respect to SUPPLIER's limited warranty extended to the original consumer of the Products.

Distributor hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Supplier from and against any and all loss, liability and expense, including, but not limited to, fees, fines, attorney’s fees and expenses, and loss of business and other consequential damages arising out of, or relating to (i) any unauthorized or unapproved representations or claims concerning the Products made by Distributor or any of its sales personnel, independent distributors or representatives whether referred to in paragraph 7 of this Agreement or otherwise, (ii) breach of its obligations under paragraph 12 of this Agreement and (iii) the negligence of Distributor, its sales personnel, independent distributors or representatives in the installation, use, sale or servicing of Supplier’s Products.

11. Vendor’s Lien. Supplier shall retain a lien on all Products in the possession of Distributor until such time as Distributor has satisfied all financial obligations to Supplier. Should Distributor fail to satisfy all such financial obligations within 10 days following the due date of invoice, Distributor shall not attempt to distribute, sell or otherwise dispose of the Products in its possession until such time as all such financial obligations are satisfied.

12. Proprietary and Confidential Information and Intellectual Property of Supplier.

A. The parties acknowledge and agree (i) that Supplier is providing the Products to Distributor under this Agreement solely for resale to retail customers in the ordinary course of Distributor's business, and for no other use or purpose; (ii) that Supplier is the owner of valuable proprietary and confidential information concerning the Products, including, but not limited to, pending patent applications, designs, product specifications, processes, systems, financial, pricing, point-of-sale, photographs, unique product names and other marketing information, properties, operations, know how, customer and vendor information, business opportunities and strategies, technical, artistic and other information, concepts and data, in written, oral, magnetic, photographic, digital, videographic, and/or other forms (the "Confidential Information"); (iii) that any and all variations or modifications of Products or other Confidential Information supplied by Supplier hereunder, whether or not developed at the request or in conjunction with the efforts of, Distributor shall, at all times be, and remain, the property and Confidential Information of Supplier; and (iv) that the disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties would cause irreparable harm to Supplier and to Supplier's business.

B. Distributor agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, through its officers, directors, contractors, employees, consultants, attorneys accountants, servants, agents, affiliates, or otherwise, disclose, cause or permit to be disclosed, or use, Supplier's Confidential Information for any purpose other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Distributor shall not disclose to any third party the pricing, terms, or any other provisions of this Agreement, and shall not furnish to third parties samples of any of the Products supplied by Supplier hereunder for duplication or any other purpose, any packaging or information contained thereon, or any other information provided by Supplier to Distributor in confidence. As used herein, an “affiliate” shall be deemed to include, without limitation, (i) any individual or entity who, directly, or through one or more entities, owns twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the equity interests of Distributor, (ii) any member of the immediate family (spouse, parent or child) of Distributor, of any officer or director of Distributor, or of any individual described in (i) above, and (iii) any individual or entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, Distributor or any individual or entity described in (i) or (ii) above.

6

Page 7: Distributor Agreement 4-08

C. Distributor agrees to take all reasonable steps as may be required or appropriate to ensure the non-disclosure and non-use of the Confidential Information except and only to the extent permitted by this Agreement, and to require its officers, directors, contractors, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants, servants, agents and affiliates who may be given access to or receive disclosure of any of the Confidential Information to maintain such Confidential Information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose or use any of such Confidential Information contrary to the requirements of this Agreement; and to be responsible in damages for the actions of any such person in contravention of the terms of this Paragraph 12.

D. In the event that Distributor becomes aware of any unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information, Distributor shall notify Supplier immediately and make every effort to recover the same from the unauthorized party.

E. All Confidential Information provided by Supplier or its representatives to Distributor, and all copies thereof, shall be returned to Supplier at Distributor's request or upon termination of this Agreement and, except for the limited purpose and time necessary to carry out the provisions of subparagraphs B and C of paragraph 15 hereof, if applicable, shall, in all events, cease to be disclosed or used by Distributor for any purpose upon termination of this Agreement.

F. Distributor understands and agrees that, due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the unauthorized disclosure or use thereof may allow Distributor, its affiliates, or third parties to unfairly compete with Supplier, resulting in irreparable harm to Supplier, and that monetary damages or other remedies at law will not be sufficient to preclude, or compensate for, such unauthorized use or disclosure and, therefore, consents to the issuance of an injunction and such other equitable relief as may be appropriate in addition to such remedies as may be available to Supplier at law to prevent or restrain any actual or threatened disclosure or use of Confidential Information in contravention of the provisions of this paragraph 12.

G.) The provisions of this Paragraph 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

13. Suggested Resale Price. Distributor recognizes that in order to compete effectively with other similar products, the resale price of the Products to retailers must be competitive with the prices to retailers of such other products. Distributor recognizes that Supplier has carefully considered the price charged to retailers for products similar to the Products, and has determined that the highest price that can be currently charged to retailers consistent with the maintenance of effective competition for the Products is

Page 8: Distributor Agreement 4-08

US $99.95 for the NJOY Cigar Starter Kit and $109.95 for the NJOY Cigarette Starter Kit, and US $24.95 per NJOY 5-pack of cartridges. The suggested resale price will be subject to review by Supplier as conditions require.

If the parties agree to continue this Agreement after the initial six (6) month trial period, the term of this Agreement shall be extended for a period of one (1) year commencing on the date following the expiration of the trial period, and shall be deemed automatically renewed at the end of the each one (1) year term for an additional one (1) year unless terminated by written notice by the terminating party to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the applicable one (1) year period; provided that this Agreement may be terminated by Supplier at any time upon written notice to Distributor in the event that Distributor (i) fails to make payments as and when due, (ii) breaches its obligations under Paragraph 12 of this Agreement, (ii) makes an assignment or attempted assignment in contravention of the provisions of paragraph 17 of this Agreement, or (iii) intentionally fails or refuses to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Until the effective date of any termination of this Agreement, Distributor shall continue to purchase its requirements for the Products from Supplier in the usual and normal course of its business, and Supplier shall continue to fulfill Distributor's orders received prior to the end of such term. Notwithstanding the giving of notice of termination by either party, Distributor shall continue to pay all unpaid balances as and when due and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement until the effective date of such termination; provided that any balance owing to Supplier not previously paid, shall be due and payable in full in all events at the effective date of termination. No termination of this Agreement by either party shall be deemed to deprive such party of any rights it may have against the other party arising out of the breach of this Agreement by such other party.

D. Distributor will immediately take all appropriate steps to remove and cancel its listings in telephone books, and other directories, and public records, or elsewhere that contain the NJOY name, logo or trademark. If Distributor fails to obtain such removals or cancellations promptly, SUPPLIER may make application for such removals or cancellations on behalf of Distributor at Distributor’s cost and in Distributor's name and in such event Distributor will render all assistance necessary to accomplish the removal and/or cancellations.

16. Waiver. No waiver or forbearance on the part of either party with respect to any breach of this Agreement by the other party shall operate as a waiver or forbearance with respect to any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.

17. Assignment. No rights or obligations of Distributor under this Agreement shall be assignable without the prior written consent of Supplier, which consent may be withheld by Supplier in its absolute discretion.
