<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">United States or abroad, Executive agrees to assist the Company in every proper way. In the
event that the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Executive&#146;s signature on any

and issuance of patents and copyrights with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the
Executive.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(a) </B>As used in the Agreement, to &#147;compete&#148; shall include any action by Executive, directly or
indirectly, to own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, participate in, or become a
director, officer, shareholder (holding more than 1% of shares) of, consultant to, or otherwise a
participant in, any pet food, pet supplies or pet services superstore business. For the purposes of
this Agreement, &#147;superstore business&#148; is defined to means a business with: (a)&nbsp;at least one store
with at least 10,000 square feet of retail space; or (b)&nbsp;more than one store with at least 8,000
square feet of retail space.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(b) </B>During the term of Executive&#146;s employment by the Company and continuing for a period of
one (1)&nbsp;year after the termination of Executive&#146;s employment for any reason (whether by
resignation, dismissal, retirement or otherwise), Executive shall not compete with the Company
anywhere within the Company&#146;s sales territory as it exists during the period of Executive&#146;s
employment or in any sales territory added by the Company during the one (1)&nbsp;year period after
Executive&#146;s departure provided that during Executive&#146;s employment with the Company, the Company
distributes to Executive information indicating a plan to add such sales territory or publicly
announces such a plan; or Executive or Executive&#146;s subsequent employer otherwise acquires knowledge
of such a plan. In view of the Company&#146;s business style and character, its marketing methods, and
its strategy, Executive agrees that it is reasonable to reconsider that the Company&#146;s sales
territory extends throughout each state in which it is doing business and Executive shall not
Compete within such area.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(c) </B>Executive understands that while this Agreement allows Executive to compete with the
Company following the expiration of the one-year period, it does not give Executive license to
engage in acts which would constitute unfair competition in violation of the applicable law.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(d) </B>Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of
this Agreement, the Company will suffer an irreparable injury and remedies at law may be
inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees that in such event the Company shall be entitled to apply
for an injunction restraining Executive from rendering any services to any person, company or other
entity in violation of the Agreement, without bond. (This clause,
however, shall not be interpreted as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other available
remedies, including the recovery of damages.)
