To our Agel World Team European Leaders,

Just want to make sure each of you is on Paul’s mailing list, and have received this important communication. If not, you need to add your name immediately. Paul Eddington is Agel Regional Manager for Europe, and his e-mail address is peddington@agel.com.

TO ALL EUROPEAN TEAM LEADERS
October 19, 2006

An Open Letter to European Team Leaders,

In an effort to significantly improve field communication in the EU, we have established a regular e-mail campaign that will go out to you, the leaders of Europe, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This Agel e-mail communication will address areas of immediate concern and also keep you informed of all the happenings here at Agel. Your input is greatly appreciated. This e-mail will go out to you prior to going out to the field and will include information that will not be sent to the field at large.

We want to give you all of the information and allow you to be the conduit of Agel information to your teams.

This week we have several things to discuss, including a new product in Europe, the inclusion of Finland as a menu option in the back office, the issue of the legality of the Agel Marketing Plan in Germany, and plea for your help with shipping issues.

AGEL OHM—Starting this week, OHM is an option in the European Back Office and is available for both Autoships and initial orders. The cost of OHM in Europe is the same as FIT. OHM is considered NFR (Not For Resale) in all open EU markets except the Netherlands.FINLAND—The Agel Back Office has been updated to include Finland as a country option. France, Italy, Greece, Malta, and Cyprus have not been added. Their inclusion as an option in Europe will be announced later when we have worked through the social, tax, and shipping issues involved when doing business in these countries. Other countries we are currently working to open include, Turkey, Norway, and Switzerland.

Team Members have asked about signing up new Team Members in countries not currently supported by Agel. Today our unified response to that question is no. Just this week, Agel contacted all Team Members living in countries not supported by Agel and informed them their accounts will be discontinued. We are aware the practice of enrolling Team Members in countries not currently supported has become an increasing liability for Agel and have now officially put an end to that practice.

THE AGEL MARKETING (PAY) PLAN IN GERMANY— We have received inquiries from the field regarding the legality of the Agel Marketing Plan in Germany.

Make sure everyone you talk to knows that the Agel Plan is 100% LEGAL in Germany.

At no small cost to Agel, our German plan has been reviewed and approved by Agel’s top legal experts in Germany.

The Marketing Plan for Germany is outlined in the European Policies and Procedures with the following differences:

Terms and Conditions for Team Members Working and Doing Business in
Germany

These Terms and Conditions for Germany apply in addition to the Policies & Procedures, the Compensation Plan and the Team Member Application to all Team Members registered or domiciled in Germany and are an integral part of the Agreement between Agel Enterprises (Netherlands) B.V. (“the Company”) and a Team Member.

1. Focus of the Company’s system. The main focus of the Company and its distribution system is the sale of products to end-users. Although the Team Members may recruit new Team Members to achieve an additional income, there is no obligation on the Team Member to do so. Accordingly, a Team Member may limit its activities to procuring sales of products without recruiting new Team Members. Any provisions suggesting otherwise shall be interpreted according to this provision.

2. Fast Start Commissions Replaced by First-Order Bonus. As the focus of the Company’s sales strategy is the sale of products, the Company will – in deviation from Section 2 of the Compensation Plan – not grant any Fast Start Commissions to a Team Member. Rather, the Team Member will be entitled to a bonus for the first order of a new end- user procured by the Team Member if the first order of the end-user equals or exceeds US$ 250 (“First-Order Bonus”). The First Order Bonus is calculated on the invoice amount and amounts to 14% if the invoice amount equals or exceeds US$ 250 and 20% if the invoice amount equals or exceeds US$ 1000. In addition to the First Order Bonus the Team Member will be entitled to the Commissionable Volume (CV ) of 500 for the Executive level package and 125 for the retail level package.

3. Independent Contract Status. A Team Member is an independent contractor. Accordingly, a Team Member is free in organizing his time, shall arrange on his own for the necessary means of operation and shall in general be able to freely organize his activities in compliance with the obligations stipulated in the Agreement.

4. Personal Success and Positions. The Compensation Plan sets out the positions which a Team Member may reach. However, it should be noted that as in any business high positions in the Company’s system require excellent sales efforts and talent and are not easily achieved.

5. Waiver of Enrollment Fee. There is no obligation on a Team Member to pay an enrollment fee and the Company hereby waives its right to request the payment of such fee. The purchase of the Start Kit is strictly optional.

6. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. The parties agree that the Agreement with the Company is governed and construed by Dutch Law. The courts of the Netherlands shall settle any disputes arising in connection with the Agreement.< br/>
7. Severability. The terms of the Agreement shall be deemed severable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions.

8. Conflicts of Provisions. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions conflicts with the terms of the Policies and Procedures, the Compensation Plan or the Team Member Application, these Terms and Conditions shall control.

SHIPPING— The UPS system of distributing Agel Product throughout Europe is working as designed. Confirmed orders are going out on time and arriving within days. Within 24 to 36 hours of shipping, European Team Members have access to their tracking numbers in their back office.

We have a small problem with Team Members entering their addresses incorrectly in the back office. Right now we are working on a solution that will force the correct address fields when a team member enrolls in Europe; however, until that is ready, we need your help communicating to the field that if their address is incorrect in the back office, their orders will not be delivered. Team Members can go into their back office and check and update their address if needed.

Another shipping issue is that of Team Members being listed in country warehouses that are not correct. It is the Team Member’s responsibility to make sure they are listed in the correct warehouse. If they are listed in the wrong warehouse, they will not receive products or commissions. If you have European Team Members who signed up in the wrong warehouse (i.e US Special, Russia, Israel, Australia, etc.), we need to know who they are and their ID number to make that change. Please send all warehouse changes to Megan Carter of Agel’s Customer Service Department. Her e-mail address is mcarter@agel.com.

Finally, we cannot send orders to European Team Members who have not submitted their signed applications within 15 days of enrollment.

Thank you for your help in making Europe a great Agel Market. New European Regional Manager, Zach Bradley, and Agel Vice President of Sales, Jeff Higginson, will tour Europe in early November. You will receive their schedule next week.

Sincerely,

I am Paul Eddington, and I AM AGEL

Regional Manager, Europe
