Inc., a Colorado corporation ("LT") and Lifeline Nutraceuticals Corp., a
Colorado corporation ("LN") and Michael Barber, an individual residing at 2880
S. Locust Street, North Tower - 406, Denver, CO 80222 ("Barber") (each a "Party"
and collectively the "Parties").
In consideration of the (i) recitals, representations and warranties,
which are expressly incorporated as a part of this Agreement and (ii) the
promises and obligations of the Parties as set out in this Agreement, the
Parties agree as follows:
I. RECITALS
A. LN is a privately-held company that is involved in the dietary

B. LT is a publicly traded company that is the parent company of LN,
and is or intends to be involved in the nutraceutical, cosmeceutical and
pharmaceutical industries.
C. Barber is a former employee, Officer and Director of LN. On July
15, 2003, Barber entered into an Employment Agreement with LN.
D. On August 15, 2003, Barber was issued 4,500,000 shares of common
stock in LN (the "LN Common Stock"). Barber contends that the LN Common
Stock was properly and validly issued and Barber paid all sums due and
owing for it.
E. On April 7, 2004, Barber executed a written Resignation, resigning
as an officer and director of LN. Barber terminated his Employment
Agreement as well.
F. A dispute has arisen between Barber, LN and LT regarding the
circumstances under which Barber obtained the LN Common Stock and the
disposition of that stock.
1
G. The Parties desire to avoid the uncertainty, time, and expense of
litigating their dispute.
H. The Parties have reached a settlement of this dispute, and through
this Agreement, desire to memorialize their settlement.
II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PARTIES:
The following are not all of the representations and warranties of the
Parties; these relate directly to the ownership of the shares that will be
exchanged pursuant to this Agreement:
(A) Barber represents and warrants that:
(1) He is the sole owner of and has full power and authority to
convey good and marketable title to the LN Common Stock, free and clear of
any mortgages, liens, restrictions, security interests, claims, rights of
another or encumbrances. He has not assigned, sold, conveyed, hypothecated,
licensed, leased, partitioned, pledged, granted, exchanged or otherwise
transferred (voluntarily or involuntarily), any of the LN Common Stock. Any
such transfer will not be recognized by LN or LT.
(2) The 4,500,000 shares of LN Common Stock are the only shares
of LN stock that Barber has ever owned or held and that Barber has no other
stock, options, warrants or any other interests in LN or LT, or right to
purchase any other interests in LN or LT, except as set forth in this
Agreement.
(B) LN and LT represent and warrant that:
(1) LN and LT are corporations duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado.

III. TERMS, COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS
A. Share Exchange. LT agrees to deliver to Barber 1,000,000 shares of
restricted voting common stock of LT (the "Restricted Stock")in exchange
for Barber's assignment and delivery of all of the LN Common Stock held by
him, directly or indirectly (the "Exchange"). The parties shall cooperate,
use their respective best efforts and take such actions and execute such
documents (including a Plan of Reorganization, resolutions and consents,
stock powers, and record-keeping and tax reporting requirements) as
reasonably necessary to structure the Exchange as a tax-free reorganization
within the meaning of section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. It
is understood that neither LT nor LN shall be responsible for any taxes,
interest or penalties payable by Barber if the Exchange does not qualify as
a tax-free reorganization and this Agreement is in no way contingent on the
same.
(1) At the time this Agreement is executed (the "Closing"), Barber will
deliver to LT the original certificate(s) representing the LN Common Stock
to be delivered by him pursuant to the Paragraph A. immediately above (the
"LN Stock Certificates") and LT will deliver, at the same time, to Barber
the original certificates representing the Restricted Stock. The LN Stock
Certificate(s) shall be accompanied by original stock powers (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A)duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly
executed assignment documents in form and substance satisfactory to LT.
(2) LT agrees to grant to Barber registration rights for the Restricted
Stock on a pari passu basis with the registration rights to be granted to
the investors in connection with the financing described below. LT agrees
to use its best efforts to register the Restricted Stock for resale by
Barber at the time it undertakes its first registration of shares
subsequent to the possible financing that LT is currently discussing with
Keating & Co. LT further agrees to use its best efforts to keep such
registration statement current and effective until the earlier of (i) the
3
date by which all of the Restricted Shares have been sold or (ii) the date
by which all of the Restricted Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k).
All of Barber's shares shall be subject to volume limitations on the amount
that may be sold under the registration statement in accordance with the
following: immediately after the effective date of the registration
statement, but not prior to such date, Barber may sell up to 150,000 of the
Restricted Shares. Thereafter Barber may sell increments of up to 150,000
of the Restricted Shares in each subsequent ninety (90) day period.
Notwithstanding the limitations on the number of shares that may be sold by
Barber set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, (i) Barber may sell
the Restricted Shares in private placements immediately following the date
hereof and (ii) in the event the registration statement on which the
Restricted Shares were registered is not current or effective and Barber is
not able to sell his shares, then Barber shall be permitted to sell such
shares that he would have otherwise been able to sell if the registration
statement was current and effective without affecting and in addition to
the volume limitations set forth above. Subject to the approval of LT, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Barber may transfer
his shares in a private sale to any person (i) if such person agrees to be
bound by the volume limitations set forth above or (ii) if Barber's sale is
within the volume limitations set forth above. Notwithstanding anything
else in this paragraph, Barber agrees to comply with all state and federal
securities laws and regulations with respect to the disposition of the
shares of LT that Barber receives pursuant to this Agreement. LT further
agrees to use its best efforts to remove all legends from the stock
certificates representing such securities upon the request of Barber if
such legends are no longer applicable, including if such shares are
eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, LT
agrees to use its best efforts to file for registration of Barber's
4
securities no later than the earlier of (i) the date LT registers its first
registration statement following the date hereof or (ii) within 45 days
after the closing of the financing that LT is currently discussing with
Keating & Co.
B. Compensation Payment to Barber. In consideration of Barber's
covenant not to compete as provided in this Agreement, LN shall deliver to
Barber or Barber's counsel the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000), payable as follows:
(1) One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) at the
Closing; and
(2) One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000)on April
15, 2005.
The payments shall be delivered in the form of a cashier's check or wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account(s) nominated by
Barber. As to the payment due on April 15, 2005, LN shall deliver to Barber
an unconditional Promissory Note in favor of Barber and as to which LN is
the Maker in the amount of $125,000 due and payable on April 15, 2005, with
interest accruing from that date forward, if unpaid, at a rate of 8% per
annum. The Promissory Note shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to
Barber and LN and shall be attached hereto as Exhibit B. If LN makes
payment to Barber of this April 15, 2005 payment of $125,000 by that date,
Barber shall cancel the Promissory Note and return it to LN.
C. Amounts Owed to Barber; Withholding Liabilities. Any and all
amounts that may be owed to Barber for services rendered, costs, expenses
and any other matters through the date of this Agreement, and expressly not
including those amounts set forth in paragraph III.B. above, are fully and
permanently cancelled. Barber permanently waives his rights to claim any
amounts owed for services rendered, costs, expenses, and any other amounts
advanced or claimed as owed by LN or LT through the date of this Agreement,
and expressly not including those amounts set forth in paragraph III.B.
above. In addition, Barber agrees to pay all federal and state income, FICA
5
and Medicare taxes due in connection with cancellation of the advances
described in paragraph III.D. below.
D. Prior Compensation. Barber received payment from LN for services
that may have involved various fund raising activities on behalf of LN. The
Parties acknowledge that any monies or other compensation paid to Barber
was not payment of commission(s), but constituted an advance to Barber as
an employee of LN. LN and LT acknowledge and agree that Barber has no
obligation to pay or repay to LN or LT any monies, including any monies or
other compensation previously paid to him by LN.
E. No Admission of Liability. The Parties are entering into this
Agreement as a method of resolving and compromising their dispute and,
therefore, LN and LT, by entering this Agreement, are not admitting any
liability to Barber or any entity or individual associated with Barber. LN
and LT expressly deny any such liability. Further, by entering into this
Agreement, Barber is not admitting any liability to LN and LT. Barber
expressly denies any such liability.
F. No Rights to Additional Interests. Barber represents and warrants
to LN and LT that, except as set forth in this Agreement, he waives any and
all claims to any stock, membership units and other possible ownership or
other interests and rights in LT or LN .
G. Association with LN or LT. Barber agrees that he will never in his
own name or through any individual or entity with whom he is associated in
any capacity ever voluntarily advertise, publicize or publicly disclose,
any former or present association with LN or LT. However, LN and LT agree
that Barber shall be entitled to and have the right to disclose his entire
employment history. In addition, Barber agree that he will not be involved
with any type of communication intended for public viewing that compare the
benefits of any LT or LN product with any product with which Barber has any
involvement. Further, Barber agrees that he will not refer to or cite or
cause others to refer or cite to Dr. Joe McCord, including, but not limited
to, (i) any comment or other communication of any kind that directly or
ultimately emanated from Dr. Mc Cord or that describes Dr. Mc Cord and any
of his scientific work and (ii) any test or study in which Dr. McCord has
had some role, including any report of such test or study.
6
H. Restrictions on Competition.
(1) Barber agrees that for one year from the date of this Agreement
that he will and shall not knowingly (a) apply for or be employed by
or contract with, and (b) acquire, either directly or indirectly, any
ownership or other interest in, any individual or entity, throughout
the world, that at that time markets, sells, distributes or
manufactures any dietary or food supplement product that competes or
is intended to compete with Protandim or CMX-1152 or both of them,
including knockoffs or derivatives of either Protandim or CMX-1152. A
product will be conclusively deemed to compete or intended to compete
with Protandim or CMX-1152 if:

or extracts of those ingredients, all of which are in or intended to
be in Protandim: (i) Ashwagandha, (ii) Bacopa, (iii) Green Tea, (iv)
Milk Thistle, (v) Tumeric, (vi) Gotu Kola, (vii) Ginkgo Biloba, (viii)
Aloe Vera; or if
b. That product is promoted, in any way, as being able to provide
or deliver a health benefit to a human being by affecting, in any way,
one or more of the following substances or the production by the human
body of one or more of those substances: (i) SOD, which is superoxide
dismutases and (ii) CAT, which is catalase; or if
c. That product is promoted, designed or formulated to affect the
human body in any way that is similar to the way in which CMX-1152 or
Protandim is now or may be promoted, designed or formulated, as
described on Protandim.com and lifelinenutraceuticals.com or any other
website owned or controlled by LN, LT or CereMedix. Subject to the
provisions of subparagraphs a., b. immediately above and the first
7
sentence of this subparagraph c. , LN and LT acknowledge and agree

of a substantial portion of the LN Common Stock and his relationship
and employment with LN or LT or both, Barber has obtained valuable

warrants that he shall not send, deliver or otherwise disseminate any
