RECITALS

On the date hereof, AGNI has entered into an agreement with WARNER NUTRACEUTICAL INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“WNI”) providing for the merger of Agronix Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of AGNI with and into WNI (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the shareholders of WNI will acquire a majority of the shares of capital stock of AGNI.

The Shareholder, who is currently a holder of common stock of AGNI, wishes to acquire from AGNI the right to purchase the subsidiary owned by AGNI (“Subsidiary,” as further defined below) on the date hereof upon the terms and conditions set forth herein within the “Option Period” (as defined below). AGNI is willing to grant such right to the Shareholder, and, in addition, AGNI wishes to have the right to require the Shareholder to purchase the Subsidiary within the Option Period.

The Shareholder may exercise the Shareholder’s Option at any time during the Option Period by giving notice of exercise, in writing, to AGNI. The notice of exercise of the Shareholder’s Option must be duly executed by the Shareholder in order to be effective. Upon receipt of such notice, AGNI shall be bound to sell, and the Shareholder shall be bound to purchase, all of the Subsidiary Shares for the purchase price of $107,000  less any fees paid to reconcile liabilities within 90 days of closing of the Merger  (the “Purchase Price”) and upon the additional terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

3.  AGNI’s Option. The Shareholder hereby grants to AGNI an irrevocable option to require the Shareholder to purchase the Subsidiary Shares (the “AGNI Option”) at any time during the Option Period.

Upon receipt of such notice, the Shareholder shall be bound to purchase, and AGNI shall be bound to sell, all of the Subsidiary Shares for the Purchase Price and upon the additional terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
