----------------------
indicated in Schedule A and Manufacturing fees will be based upon the cost
categories set forth in Schedule D. Such prices will be effective until ***. The
present pricing parameters in the Schedules hereto are based on an annual volume
of units from *** to ***. Under this pricing structure, Contractor commits to
deliver up to *** units per week when and if required by Jafra. An annual volume
less than or greater than the *** to *** range shall warrant a price
renegotiation. In the event Jafra takes delivery of less than *** units per
calendar fiscal quarter, during the term of this Agreement, within ten (10) days
after the end of such three-month period, Jafra shall pay to contractor the sum
of $*** multiplied by the difference between *** and the number of units Jafra
accepted for the last month of such three-month period.
3.2 Product Price Forecast. Manufacturing fees will be increased not more
----------------------
than *** every twelve months beginning July 1, 2000 at a rate not more than ***

during such applicable twelve-month period. Commencing not later than June 1st
of each year of this Agreement beginning June 1, 2000, Jafra and Contractor will
work together to establish pricing for the succeeding twelve-month period
commencing July 1. If contractor is seeking an increase in the Manufacturing
fees, it shall provide Jafra with written justification and substantiation for
such increase. In the event that new twelve-month pricing has not been agreed
upon by both Jafra and Contractor by June 1 of the applicable year, either party
may submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.7
hereof. Until the matter has been agreed to or decided by arbitration, the
pricing on Schedule A will continue to apply, provided, however, that any
increase subsequently agreed to or determined by the arbitrator shall be
retroactive to July 1 of the applicable year, and any sum owing due to a
retroactive adjustment shall be paid to Contractor within ten (10) days of the
determination of the increase. *** of any governmentally imposed wage increases
(expressed as a percentage increase over the current minimum wage) (the "Wage
Increase Adjustment") will be transferrable to the Manufacturing fee (Schedule

Jafra commencing at the beginning of the *** month following such increase.
Provided, however, if the increase in the cost of a material causes the cost of
all materials used in a particular formula or formulas to increase by more than
***%, Jafra will have *** months to identify and approve alternative sources of
supply or raw materials to be used; otherwise, Contractor will be authorized to
pass the higher cost on to Jafra commencing at the beginning of the *** month
following such increase.

Contractor has sufficient materials available to cover such extraordinary demand
in accordance with the ***-month materials availability agreement. Contractor
will provide Jafra with a production schedule
8
showing weekly production plans for each Product for a minimum period of two
