The new certificates shall be delivered to the Participant promptly after the date on which the restrictions imposed on such shares by this Restriction Agreement have lapsed, but not before the Participant has made arrangements satisfactory to the Company for tax withholding (as required by Section 5), and provided that any certificate representing the portion of the newly vested shares (if any) that the Participant applies to satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 5(b) below shall be delivered to the Company rather than the Participant. The Company may also condition delivery of certificates for Restricted Shares upon receipt from the Participant of any undertakings that it may determine are appropriate to facilitate compliance with federal and state securities laws.

5. Tax Withholding. Whenever the restrictions applicable to all or a portion of the Restricted Shares lapse under the terms of this Restriction Agreement, the Company shall notify the Participant of the amount of tax that must be withheld by the Company under all applicable federal, state and local tax laws. The Participant agrees to make arrangements with the Company to:

Such conditions may include, without limitation, the partial or complete suspension of the right to transfer the Restricted Shares subject to the Restricted Shares having been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(b) Investment Purpose. The Participant is acquiring the Restricted Shares for his own account for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution of the Restricted Shares.

(c) Economic Risk. The Participant is willing and able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Restricted Shares (in making this representation, attention has been given to whether Participant can afford to hold the Restricted Shares for an indefinite period of time and whether, at this time, the Participant can afford a complete loss of the investment).

10. Restricted Shares Not to Affect Employment Rights. Neither this Restriction Agreement nor the Restricted Shares granted hereunder shall confer upon the Participant any right to continued employment with the Company under the terms of any employment agreement with the Company, and this Restriction Agreement shall not in any way modify or restrict any rights the Company may have to terminate the Participant’s employment under such an employment agreement.

11. Restriction Covenants. As additional consideration for the Company’s grant of the Restricted Stock described in this Restriction Agreement, the Participant agrees and covenants that during the period of his employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following his termination of employment (the “Restricted Period”):

(i) the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, render any services, including without limitation service as an advisor, consultant, employee, officer or board member, competitive with the Company Business (as hereinafter defined) in any metropolitan area in which the Company then operates. During this period, the Participant shall not engage in, hold an equity interest in, operate, join, control or participate in any firm, partnership or corporation which competes with the Company Business, except that beneficial ownership by the Participant (together with any one or more members of Participant’s immediate family and together with any entity under the Participant’s direct or indirect control) of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation which may be engaged in any of the same business as the Company Business which stock is listed on a national securities exchange or

publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of the covenants in this Section 11. For purposes of this Restriction Agreement, “Company Business” shall mean the marketing and selling of probiotic products.

The parties acknowledge that the type and periods of restriction imposed in the provisions of Section 11 hereof are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company and the goodwill associated with the business of the Company; and that the time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of Section 11 have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated parties and are given as an integral part of this Restriction Agreement. If any of the covenants in Section 11 hereof, or any part thereof, is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenants or covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the covenants contained in Section 11 hereof, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or areas of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable. The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Section 11 hereof above upon the courts of any state or other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or more of such states or other jurisdictions shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the right of the Company to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states or other jurisdictions within the geographical scope of such covenants, as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective states or other jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state or other jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

The Participant hereby expressly acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach by the Participant of any of the terms set forth in Section 11 of this Restriction Agreement may result in significant and continuing injury to the Company, the monetary value of which would be impossible to establish. Therefore, the Participant acknowledges that the Company is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Restriction Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Restriction Agreement.

(a) In the event of any change or changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or any similar transaction, the Board of Directors shall adjust the number of shares of Common Stock issued as Restricted Shares under this Restriction Agreement, and make any and all other adjustments deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors in such manner as the Board of Directors deems necessary to prevent material dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Participant.

(b) This Restriction Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

(c) The terms of this Restriction Agreement may only be amended, modified or waived by a written agreement executed by both of the parties hereto.

(d) This Restriction Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs and representatives of Participant and the assigns and successors of the Company, but neither this Restriction Agreement nor any rights hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by Participant.

(e) This Restriction Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties and shall supersede any and all previous contracts, arrangements or understandings between the Company and Participant. The Restriction Agreement may be amended at any time by mutual written agreement of the parties hereto.

(f) This Award of Restricted Shares is subject to, and the Participant agrees to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as such Plan may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Pursuant to the Plan, the Board is authorized to adopt rules and regulations not inconsistent with the Plan as it shall deem appropriate and proper. A copy of the Plan in its present form is available for inspection during business hours by the Participant at the Company’s principal office. All questions of the interpretation and application of the Plan and the Participant shall be determined by the Board and any such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(g) This Restriction Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the internal and domestic laws of such state, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws of such state. Any claims or legal actions by one party against the other arising out of the relationship between the parties contemplated herein (whether or not arising under this Restriction Agreement) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Restriction Agreement as of the day and date first above written.
