Olson, attorney at law, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"),

     WHEREAS, RGGL and Distributees are parties to a Master Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of November ___, 2005 ("Distribution Agreement");

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the parties have agreed that the Distributees will place into escrow 315,561 shares of RGGL common stock (“Escrow Funds”) to indemnify RGGL and/or Amerikal Nutraceutical Corp. (“Indemnitees”) effected by claims presented to RGGL for claims arising from the Distribution Agreement (“Claims”);

WHEREAS, the Agreement will expire in twelve months from the date of execution of the Distribution Agreement, whereupon all remaining Escrow Funds will be returned to Distributees.

     WHEREAS, it is a condition to the closing of the Distribution Agreement that the parties hereto will have entered into this Agreement and delivered the Deposit (as defined below) to the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent as security for potential Claims upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.  Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

     "Claim" means a claim for any loss suffered, incurred or paid by any Indemnitee arising out of the Distribution Agreement.

     "Claim Date" has the meaning set forth in Section 6.

     "Claim Disbursement Amount" has the meaning set forth in Section 6.

     "Claim Notice" has the meaning set forth in Section 6.

     "Escrow Funds" means the 315,561 shares of RGGl common stock while held by the Escrow Agent from time to time pursuant to this Agreement.

1

     "Expiration Date" means twelve months from the date of execution of the Distribution Agreement.

     "Final Instruction" has the meaning set forth in Section 7.

2.  Appointment of Escrow Agent. RGGL and Distributees hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as agent for the purpose of holding and distributing the Escrow Fund upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, and the Escrow Agent accepts such appointment subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

3.  Escrow Funds. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Distributees have deposited the Escrow Funds with the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Funds.

4.  Maintenance of Escrow. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Fund in escrow and shall disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to this Agreement.

5.  Assertion of Claim. Indemitees may assert one or more Claims for which it seeks recovery hereunder on or prior to the Expiration Date. Indemitees shall assert such Claims by delivering a written notice ("Claim Notice") to the Escrow Agent (who will distribute to Distributees) which includes (i) the date of the Claim Notice ("Claim Date"), (ii) Indemnitees estimate of the Loss incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Claim ("Claim Disbursement Amount"), (iii) a reasonably detailed summary of the basis for such Claim, and (iv) a determination as to whether or not such Claim relates to the Distribution Agreement. Indemnitee may assert one or more Claim in a single Claim Notice. If Indemnitee desires to change a Claim Disbursement Amount of a Claim Notice, then it shall submit a new Claim Notice amending and restating the original Claim Notice. A Claim Notice shall indicate whether the Claim Disbursement Amount exceeds the balance of the Escrow Fund.

7.  Final Instruction. For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Final Instruction" shall mean a written notice delivered to the Escrow Agent directing the disbursement of the Claim Disbursement Amount relating to a particular Claim, and which expressly states that it is a "Final Instruction" pursuant to this Section 7. Except as provided in Subsections (b) and (d) below, a Final Instruction shall be signed by RGGL and Distributees. A Final Instruction shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent only under the following circumstances, and accompanied by the indicated documentation:

     (a)  If Distributees dispute any aspect of a Claim Notice, the Distributees shall give written notice of such dispute to the Escrow Agent, within 30 calendar days after receipt by Distributees of such Claim Notice. In such event, no Final Instruction may be given to the Escrow Agent except as provided in (c) or (d) below.

     (b)  If Distributees fail to respond to a Claim Notice within 30 calendar days after receipt by Distributees of such Claim Notice, or if Distributees notifies Indemnitee and the Escrow Agent in writing that there is no dispute with respect to a Claim Notice, Indemnitee shall have the right to deliver to the Escrow Agent a Final Instruction, signed only by Indemnitee, with respect to the Claims described in such Claim Notice.

2

     (c)  In the case of a Claim Notice which Distributees have disputed (as provided in Subsection 7(a) above), if Indemitee and Distributees reach an agreement with respect to the Claims described in a Claim Notice, Indemnitee and Distributees shall give the Escrow Agent a Final Instruction, signed by both Indemnitee and Distributees, with respect to such Claims.

     (d)  In the case of a Claim Notice which Distributees have disputed (as provided in Subsection 7(a) above), if an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final, non-appealable order specifying the amount of Indemnitee’s recovery (if any) with respect to a Claim, either Indemnitee or Distributees shall have the right to deliver to the Escrow Agent a Final Instruction with respect to such Claim based on and in compliance with such order, signed only by indemnitee or Distributees, as the case may be, and accompanied by a copy of such order.

8.  Distribution of Escrow Fund.

     (a)  Disbursements to Indemitee. Upon receipt of a Final Instruction, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to Indemnitee, funds in the form of RGGL common stock equivalent in value to the sum of the Claim Disbursement Amount set forth in such Final Instruction. Such common stock will be valued at the closing price of RGBL.OB as reported by the OTC:BB on the day of such disbursement.

     (b)  Disbursements to Distributees. If no Claim is "asserted and unresolved" (as defined below) by the Expiration Date, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to Distributees all of the Escrow Funds. If any RGGL Claims are asserted and unresolved by the Expiration Date, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to Distributees Escrow Funds in an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (A) the Claim Disbursement Amounts relating to such Claims and (B) the amount of Escrow Funds as of immediately prior to the Expiration Date. Upon receipt of Final Instructions after the Expiration Date relating to Claims that were asserted and unresolved on the Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to Distributees all of the Escrow Funds, if any, that remains in the Escrow Account after payment to Indemnitee of the Claim Disbursement Amounts relating to such Final Instructions. For the purposes of this Section 8(b), the phrase "asserted and unresolved" means, with respect to any Claim, the Escrow Agent has received a Claim Notice but no Final Instruction with respect to such Claim.

9.  Limitation of Liability of Escrow Agent; Etc.

     (a)  Nature of Duties; Liability; Indemnification. It is understood and agreed that the duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder are purely ministerial in nature and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, fact or law, or any act done or omitted to be done, except for its own willful misconduct or that of its employees and agents. The Escrow Agent's determination as to whether an event or condition has occurred, or been met or satisfied, or as to whether a provision of this Agreement has been complied with, or as to whether sufficient evidence of the event or condition or compliance with the provision has been furnished to it, shall not subject the Escrow Agent to any claim, liability or obligation whatsoever, even if it shall be found that such determination was improper and incorrect; provided, that the Escrow Agent and its employees and agents shall not have been guilty of willful misconduct or gross negligence in making such determination. RGGL and Distributees jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or reasonable expense ("Cost") incurred without willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in connection herewith or therewith. The right to indemnification set forth in the preceding sentence shall include the right to be paid by RGGL and Distributees in respect of Costs as they are incurred (including Costs incurred in connection with defending itself against any claim of liability in connection herewith). The Escrow Agent shall promptly repay any amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is or can be taken that the Escrow Agent is not entitled to such indemnification.

3

     (b)  Documents and Instructions. The Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depository only and shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the genuineness, sufficiency, correctness or validity of any agreement, document, certificate, instrument or item deposited with it or any notice, consent, approval direction or instruction given to it, and the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected, under Section 9(a) above, for all acts taken in accordance with any written instruction or instrument given to it hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and reasonably believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and what it purports to be.

     (c)  Conflicting Notices, RGGL Claims, Demands or Instructions. If at any time the Escrow Agent shall receive conflicting notices, claims, demands or instructions with respect to the Escrow Fund, or if for any other reason it shall in good faith be unable to determine the party or parties entitled to receive monies from the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent may refuse to make any distribution or payment and may retain the Escrow Fund in its possession until it shall have received instructions in writing concurred in by all parties in interest, or until directed by a final order or judgment of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is or can be taken, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall make such disposition in accordance with such instructions or such order.

     (d)  Advice of Counsel. The Escrow Agent may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel and employees in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected and indemnified under Section 9(a) above for all acts taken, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in accordance with the opinion and instructions of such counsel, and the reasonable costs of such counsel shall be subject to reimbursement under Section 9(a) above.
