Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of February 11, 2008 (“Effective Date”), by and between Kenneth E. Wolf (“Employee”), and Natural Alternatives International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”). The Company and Employee may be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to retain the services of Employee as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, but only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Employee desires to enter into the employ of the Company and is willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein and intending to be legally bound thereby, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Employment . Employee hereby accepts the offer of the Company for employment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company beginning on the Effective Date. Employee’s employment will be at-will and may be terminated by either Employee or the Company at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without Cause (as hereinafter defined), upon written notice to the other, or without any notice upon the death of Employee. The at-will status of the employment relationship may not be modified except by an agreement in writing signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Employee, the terms of which were approved in advance in writing by the Company’s Board of Directors (which shall include any committee or subcommittee thereof authorized to determine matters of executive employment and compensation).

2. Employee Handbook . Employee and the Company understand and agree that nothing in the Company’s Employee Handbook is intended to be, and nothing in it should be construed to be, a limitation of the Company’s right to terminate, transfer, demote, suspend and administer discipline at any time for any reason. Employee and the Company understand and agree nothing in the Company’s Employee Handbook is intended to, and nothing in such Employee Handbook should be construed to, create an implied or express contract of employment contrary to this Agreement nor to relieve either party of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

3. Position and Responsibilities .

a. During Employee’s employment with the Company hereunder, Employee shall report to the Company’s President and Board of Directors and shall have such responsibilities, duties and authority as the Company, through its Board of Directors, may from time to time assign to Employee. Employee shall perform any other duties reasonably required by the Company and, if requested by the Company, shall serve as a director and/or as an additional officer of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company without additional compensation.

1

b. Employee, in Employee’s capacity as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, shall diligently and to the best of Employee’s ability perform all duties that such position entails. Employee shall devote such time, energy, skill and effort to the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder as may be fairly and reasonably necessary to faithfully and diligently further the business and interests of the Company and its subsidiaries. Employee agrees not to engage in any other business activity that would materially interfere with the performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement. Employee represents to the Company that Employee has no other outstanding commitments inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or the services to be rendered under it.

c. Employee shall render Employee’s service at the Company’s offices in the County of San Diego, California, or such other location as is mutually agreed upon by the Company and Employee. It is understood, however, and agreed that Employee’s duties may from time to time require travel to other locations, including other offices of the Company and/or its subsidiaries both within and outside the United States.

4. Compensation .

a. Salary . During the term of Employee’s employment hereunder, the Company agrees to pay Employee a base salary of $237,500 per year, payable in arrears no less frequently than bi-weekly in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices. In the first year of employment, the base salary will be prorated from the start date of Employee’s employment with the Company. The amount of Employee’s base salary as set forth in this Section 4(a) may be adjusted from time to time by an agreement in writing signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Employee, the terms of which were approved in advance by action of the Company’s Board of Directors (or authorized committee or subcommittee thereof). All references in this Agreement to Employee’s base salary shall mean the base salary as adjusted from time to time.

b. Additional Benefits . During Employee’s employment with the Company, in addition to the other compensation and benefits set forth herein, Employee shall be entitled to receive and/or participate in such other benefits of employment generally available to the Company’s other corporate officers when and as Employee becomes eligible for them, including, without limitation, participation in the Company’s Management Cash Incentive Plan for fiscal 2008. Employee’s participation in the Company’s Management Cash Incentive Plan for fiscal 2008 shall be at seventy five percent (75%) of the amount in which Employee otherwise would have been entitled to participate if Employee had participated in such plan for a full fiscal year. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any and all benefit plans, policies and practices at any time without notice to or recourse by the Employee. Employee’s eligibility to participate in the Company’s Management Cash Incentive Plan in fiscal years after 2008 shall be in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

c. No Other Compensation . Employee acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided herein, and as set forth in the Company’s Employee Handbook or any other written compensation arrangement approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Employee is not entitled to any other compensation or benefits from the Company.

2

d. Withholdings . All compensation under this Agreement shall be paid less withholdings required by federal and state law and less deductions agreed to by the Company and Employee.

5. Termination .

a. Due to Death . Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate automatically in the event of Employee’s death. The Company shall have no obligation to Employee or Employee’s estate for base salary or any other form of compensation or benefit other than amounts accrued through the date of Employee’s death, except as otherwise required by law or pursuant to a specific written policy, agreement or benefit plan of the Company.

b. Without Cause, Severance Benefit . In the event Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause and not as a result of death, upon Employee’s delivery to the Company of an executed general release in a form substantially similar to that set forth in Attachment #3 attached hereto (“Release”), Employee shall be entitled to receive (i) a severance benefit, including standard employee benefits available to the Company’s other corporate officers, in an amount equal to three (3) months’ base salary; and (ii) continuing group health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA for the three (3) months following termination with the premiums for such continuation coverage paid by the Company. If Employee does not execute and deliver the Release, Employee shall only be entitled to receive a severance benefit in an amount equal to four (4) weeks’ base salary and the Company shall not pay any premiums for continuing group health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA or otherwise. One half of any severance benefit owing hereunder shall be paid within ten (10) business days of termination and the balance shall be paid on a bi-weekly basis over the applicable severance period of four (4) weeks or three (3) months.

c. With Cause, No Severance Benefit . The Company may terminate Employee for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (i) the Employee’s commission of any fraud against the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) Employee’s intentional appropriation for Employee’s personal use or benefit of the funds of the Company or of its subsidiaries not authorized in writing by the Board of Directors; (iii) Employee’s conviction of any crime involving moral turpitude; (iv) Employee’s conviction of a violation of any state or federal law that could result in a material adverse impact upon the business of the Company or its subsidiaries; (v) Employee engaging in any other professional employment or consulting or directly or indirectly participating in or assisting any business that is a current or potential supplier, customer or competitor of the Company or its subsidiaries without prior written approval from the Company’s Board of Directors; (vi) Employee’s failure to comply with the Company’s written policy on acceptance of gifts and gratuities as in effect from time to time; or (vii) when Employee has been disabled and is unable to perform the essential functions of the position for any reason notwithstanding reasonable accommodation, provided Employee has received from the Company compensation in an amount equivalent to Employee’s severance benefit payment. No severance benefit shall be due to Employee if Employee is terminated for Cause, including if Employee is terminated for Cause upon or after a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined and separately addressed below), except in the event of disability as set forth above.

d. Resignation or Retirement, No Severance Benefit . This Agreement shall be terminated upon Employee’s voluntary retirement or resignation. No severance benefit shall be due to Employee if Employee resigns or retires from employment for any reason or at any time, including upon or after a Change in Control.

3

e. Payment Through Date of Termination . Except as otherwise set forth herein, upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Employee shall be entitled to receive any unpaid compensation earned through the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason before year-end bonus or other compensation becoming payable to Employee, then such bonus and other compensation shall be forfeited in full by Employee.

6. Termination Obligations .

a. Return of Company Property . Upon termination of this Agreement and cessation of Employee’s employment, Employee agrees to return all Company Property (as such term is defined in Attachment #2 to this Agreement) to the Company promptly, but in no event later than two (2) business days following termination of employment.

b. Termination of Benefits . Any and all benefits to which Employee is otherwise entitled shall cease upon Employee’s termination, unless explicitly continued either under this Agreement or under any specific written policy or benefit plan of the Company.

c. Termination of Other Positions . Upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall be deemed to have resigned from all other offices and directorships then held with the Company or its subsidiaries, unless otherwise expressly agreed in a writing signed by the Parties.

d. Employee Cooperation . Following termination of Employee’s employment, Employee shall cooperate fully with the Company in all matters including, but not limited to, advising the Company of all pending work on behalf of the Company and the orderly transfer of work to other employees or representatives of the Company. Employee shall also cooperate in the defense of any action brought by any third party against the Company that relates in any way to Employee’s acts or omissions while employed by the Company.

e. Survival of Obligations . Employee’s obligations under this Section 6 shall survive the termination of employment and the termination of this Agreement.

7. Change in Control . In the event of any Change in Control, the following provisions will apply.

a. Any of the following shall constitute a “Change in Control” for the purposes of this Agreement:

(i) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if more than 50% of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s securities outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization is owned by persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization;

4

(ii) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

(iii) A change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors, as a result of which fewer than 50% of the incumbent directors are directors who either (i) had been directors of the Company on the date 24 months prior to the date of the event that may constitute a Change in Control (the “original directors”) or (ii) were elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination and the directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved; or

(iv) Any transaction as a result of which any person is the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing at least 20% of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities. For this purpose, the term “person” shall have the same meaning as when used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or of a parent or subsidiary of the Company and (ii) a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the common stock of the Company.

A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

b. In the event of a Change in Control, this Agreement shall continue in effect unless terminated by Employee or the Company.

c. If Employee is terminated without Cause following a Change in Control by the Company and/or the surviving or resulting corporation, upon Employee’s delivery to the Company of an executed Release, Employee shall be entitled to receive as severance pay or liquidated damages, or both, (i) a lump sum payment (“Change in Control Severance Payment”) in an amount equal to one (1) year’s compensation or such greater amount as the Board of Directors determines from time to time pursuant to terms which may not be revoked or reduced thereafter; and (ii) continuing group health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA for the twelve (12) months following termination with the premiums for such continuation coverage paid by the Company. If Employee does not execute and deliver the Release, Employee shall only be entitled to receive a Change in Control Severance Payment in an amount equal to four (4) weeks’ compensation and the Company shall not pay any premiums for continuing group health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA or otherwise.

d. Subject to applicable law, any Change in Control Severance Payment shall be made not later than the fifteenth (15th) day following the effective date of Employee’s termination without Cause in connection with a Change in Control; provided, however, that if the amount of such payment cannot be finally determined on or before such date, the Company shall pay to Employee on such date a good faith estimate of the minimum amount of such payment, and, subject to applicable law, shall pay the remainder of such payment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended

5

(“Code”)), as soon as the amount thereof can be determined, but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the applicable termination date. If the amount of the estimated payment exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to Employee payable on the fifteenth (15th) day after receipt by Employee of a written demand for payment from the Company (together with interest calculated as set forth above). The total of any payment pursuant to this Section 7 shall be limited to the extent necessary, in the opinion of legal counsel acceptable to Employee and the Company, to avoid the payment of an “excess parachute” payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or any similar successor provision.

e. In the event of termination of Employee’s employment under Section 7(c), and provided Employee delivers to the Company an executed Release, the Company shall cause each then-outstanding stock option granted by the Company to the Employee as of the date of termination to become fully exercisable and to remain exercisable for the term of the option.

8. Arbitration . Employee and the Company hereby agree to the Mutual Agreement to Mediate and Arbitrate Claims attached hereto as Attachment #1 and made a part hereof. Employee’s obligations under this Section 8 and such Mutual Agreement to Mediate and Arbitrate Claims shall survive the termination of employment and the termination of this Agreement.

9. Confidential Information and Inventions . Employee and the Company hereby agree to the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement, Covenant of Exclusivity and Covenant Not to Compete attached hereto as Attachment #2 and made a part hereof. Employee’s obligations under this Section 9 and such Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement, Covenant of Exclusivity and Covenant Not to Compete shall survive the termination of employment and the termination of this Agreement.

10. Competitive Activity . Employee covenants, warrants and represents that during the period of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall not engage anywhere, directly or indirectly (as a principal, shareholder, partner, director, manager, member, officer, agent, employee, consultant or otherwise), or be financially interested in any business that is involved in business activities that are the same as, similar to, or in competition with the business activities carried on by the Company or any business that is a current or potential supplier, customer or competitor of the Company without prior written approval from the Company’s Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may invest in and hold up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting stock of a publicly held company that is involved in business activities that are the same as, similar to, or in competition with the business activities carried on by the Company or any business that is a current or potential supplier, customer or competitor of the Company without the prior written approval of the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that if such publicly held company is a current or potential supplier, customer or competitor of the Company, the Employee shall advise the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors in writing of Employee’s investment in such company as soon as reasonably practicable.

11. Employee Conduct . Employee covenants, warrants and represents that during the period of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall at all times comply with the Company’s written policy as in effect from time to time on the acceptance of gifts and gratuities from customers, vendors, suppliers, or other persons doing business with the Company.

6

Employee represents and understands that acceptance or encouragement of any gift or gratuity not in compliance with such policy may create a perceived financial obligation and/or conflict of interest for the Company and shall not be permitted as a means to influence business decisions, transactions or service. In this situation, as in all other areas of employment, Employee is expected to conduct himself or herself using the highest ethical standard.

12. Miscellaneous Provisions .

a. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and any attachments and/or exhibits contains the entire agreement between the Parties. It supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or in writing, between the Parties with respect to Employee’s employment by the Company. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein and acknowledges that no other agreement, statement or promise not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding. To the extent the practices, policies or procedures of the Company, now or in the future, are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

b. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

c. Severability . Should any part or provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, invalid or void, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected by such holding.

d. Attorneys’ Fees . Except as set forth in the Mutual Agreement to Mediate and Arbitrate Claims attached hereto as Attachment #1, should any party institute any action, arbitration or proceeding to enforce, interpret or apply any provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the non-prevailing party of all recoverable costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

e. Interpretation . This Agreement shall be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not in favor of or against any party.

The failure of either party hereto at any time to require the performance by the other party hereto of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or waiver of the provision itself or a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.

7

g. Assignment . This Agreement is binding on and is for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives.
