On August 7, 2017, Natural Alternatives International, Inc.

The Agreements are an Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement, a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, and an Irrevocable Proxy. Pursuant to the Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement Juice Plus+ has granted NAI exclusive rights to manufacture and supply Juice Plus+ with certain Juice Plus+ products within 24 countries that Juice Plus+ currently sells those products. Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, NAI has agreed to grant 500,000 shares of NAI common stock to Juice Plus+, (the “Shares”), and Juice Plus+ has agreed the Shares are subject to certain restrictions and risk of forfeiture. Pursuant to the Irrevocable Proxy, Juice Plus+ has granted to the NAI Board of Directors Juice Plus+’s right to vote the Shares as long as they are subject to the associated risk of forfeiture. The Agreements are for a term of 5 years, and may be terminated by either party only on the occurrence of specified events. A copy of the Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.45, and 10.46, and are incorporated herein.

Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Agreement NAI will issue 500,000 unregistered shares of its Common Stock to Juice Plus+. The Shares, and any dividends that may be paid on the Shares are subject to forfeiture in the event the Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement is terminated by NAI for cause or by Juice Plus+ without cause.
