agreement (in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Parties) (the “Assumption and Assignment Agreement”) pursuant to which Purchaser shall assume and agree to discharge, when due (in accordance with its respective terms and subject to the respective conditions thereof), only the following Liabilities (without duplication) (collectively the “Assumed Liabilities”) and no others:

(a)

all Liabilities of Sellers arising after the Closing Date in the ordinary course of the Business;

(b)

the obligations to Sellers’ trade creditors set forth on Schedule 2.3(c) (the “Trade Creditor Obligations”);

The assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities shall not, in any way, enlarge the rights of any third parties relating thereto. Except for the agreements set forth on Schedule 2.1(d), the Buyer is not assuming any Assumed Contracts. There are no Cure Costs and, accordingly, no Cure Costs are included in the Assumed Liabilities.

Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for providing to the counterparty to any Assumed Contract any information necessary to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” pursuant to section 365(f)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to make any payment of Cure Costs for, and shall not assume any Liabilities with respect to, any Contract that is not an Assigned Contract.

Such exhibit shall also set forth the Cure Costs for each of the

Assumed Contracts as determined by Sellers based on Sellers’ books and records or as otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court.

(c)

In the case of Permits, Assumed Contracts and other commitments included in the Purchased Assets that cannot be transferred or assigned effectively without the consent of third parties (“Non-Assignable Assets”), which consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing (after giving effect to the Sale Order and the Bankruptcy Code), this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an agreement to transfer or assign any Non-Assignable Asset until such consent is obtained if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention of any such Non-Assignable Asset or law to which any Seller is a party or by which a Seller is bound, or in any way adversely affect the rights of any Seller or, upon transfer, Purchaser under such Non-Assignable Asset; and Purchaser shall assume no Liabilities under such Non-Assignable Assets. With respect to such Non-Assignable Assets for which required consent has not been obtained prior to Closing, Sellers shall, subject to any approval of the Bankruptcy Court that may be required and the terms set forth in Section 6.3, (i) reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in endeavoring to obtain such consent, and (ii) cooperate with Purchaser in any lawful and commercially reasonable manner under which Purchaser would obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under such Non-Assignable Assets.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser reserves the right and shall have the right to designate in one or more written notices delivered to Sellers (i) at any time prior to the Closing Date, any Purchased Asset as an Excluded Asset and any of the Liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.3(c) as Excluded Liabilities, and (ii) at any time prior to the commencement of the Auction, any Excluded Asset as a Purchased Asset (it being understood that such written notices will be deemed to have automatically updated and revised any schedules under this Section 2 as applicable, for all purposes under this Agreement).

Section 2.7. Further Assurances.

(a)

At the Closing, and at all times thereafter as may be necessary, Sellers and Purchaser shall execute and deliver such other instruments of transfer as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in Purchaser title to the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liabilities, Liens, Claims, Interests and Encumbrances (other than the Permitted Encumbrances) and such other instruments as shall be reasonably necessary to evidence the assignment by Sellers and the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities, including the Assumed Contracts.

At the Closing, and at all times thereafter as may be necessary, Sellers shall, at the reasonable request of Purchaser, execute, deliver, and file, or cause to be executed, delivered, and filed, such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other actions as Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to more effectively consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to vest in Purchaser good and marketable title to the Intellectual Property included in the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation,

executing, filing, and recording, with all appropriate intellectual property registration authorities and other relevant entities, all assignment instruments and other filings that are necessary to correctly record the prior chain of title with respect to ownership of the Intellectual Property included in the Purchased Assets.

Section 3.1. Consideration.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Parties set forth herein, at the Closing, the purchase price to be paid by Purchaser to Sellers in exchange for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) shall be the sum of (i) cash in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) plus (ii) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) non-cash value for excluding D&O Claims and Avoidance Actions from the Purchased Assets plus (iii) One Hundred Percent (100%) of the Credit Bid in the approximate amount of Four Million Seven Hundred Sixty Five Thousand Dollars ($4,765,000) plus accrued interest. Purchaser shall satisfy the Purchase Price at the Closing in part by the Credit Bid by releasing Seller from indebtedness under the Prepetition Loan Documents in an aggregate amount up to the Credit Bid.

Section 3.2. Allocation of Purchase Price

Within thirty (30) Business Days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers for Sellers’ review and approval allocation schedule(s) (the “Allocation Schedule(s)”) allocating the Purchase Price in accordance with the percentages set forth on the Allocation Schedule(s), including the Assumed Liabilities that are liabilities for federal income Tax purposes, among the Purchased Assets. The Allocation Schedule(s) shall be reasonable and shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Sellers agree that, following their approval of the Allocation Schedule(s), Sellers shall sign the Allocation Schedule(s) and return an executed copy thereof to Purchaser, it being understood and agreed that on or before the tenth (10^th) Business Day following their receipt of the Allocation Schedule(s) from Purchaser as herein provided, Sellers shall either deliver an executed copy thereof to Purchaser or, in the event that Sellers shall have objections to all or any portion of the Allocation Schedule(s), Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a written objection to such Allocation Schedule(s), which written objection shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the objections of Sellers thereto. In the event that Sellers fails to deliver to Purchaser either an executed Allocation Schedule(s) or a written objection on or before the tenth (10^th) Business Day following their receipt of the Allocation Schedule(s) from Purchaser, Sellers will be deemed to have accepted and be bound by the Allocation Schedule(s) in the form delivered by Purchaser. In the event that Sellers shall deliver a written objection to the Allocation Schedule(s), Sellers and Purchaser shall thereafter work in good faith for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days to

resolve any and all objections set forth therein, and upon the resolution of all such objections, Sellers and Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the other Party a signed copy of such agreed upon Allocation Schedule(s). In the event that Purchaser and Sellers are unable to resolve such dispute within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Purchaser and Sellers shall jointly retain a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Sellers (an “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve the disputed items and the determinations of such Independent Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties for the purposes of this Section 3.2. Upon resolution of the disputed items, the allocation reflected on the Allocation Schedule(s) shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. The costs, fees, and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Sellers. Purchaser and Sellers will each file IRS Form 8594, and all Tax Returns, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule(s) that are agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.2. Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, each agrees to provide the other promptly with any other information required to complete Form 8594.

In addition, none of Parties shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, unless such Party consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by any such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate thereat, in each case to the maximum extent practicable.

Each Party shall also furnish the other Party with such necessary information and assistance as such other party and its Affiliates may reasonably request in connection with their preparation of necessary filings, registration or submissions of information to the Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and any such filing,

notification or request for approval. Sellers and Purchaser shall prosecute all required requests for approval with all necessary diligence and otherwise use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the grant thereof by an Order as soon as possible including in order to resolve such objections or suits which, in any case if not resolved, could reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder or the other transactions contemplated hereby, including by Purchaser selling, holding separate or otherwise disposing of or conducting its business in a manner which would resolve such objections or suits or agreeing to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct its business in a manner which would resolve such objections or suits or permitting the sale, holding separate or other disposition of, any of its assets or the assets of its subsidiaries or the conducting of its business in a manner which would resolve such objections or suits.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private party challenging the transactions hereunder or any other agreement contemplated hereby, Purchaser shall cooperate, at its own cost and expense, in all respects with each other and use its respective best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

During the period prior to the Closing Date, each Party will promptly advise the other in writing of any written notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is acknowledged and understood that no notice given pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall have any effect on the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement for purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions contained herein or rights or remedies of the Parties.

SECTION 7.
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 7.1. Taxes.

(a)

Sellers shall be liable for and shall pay, and pursuant to Section 7.1(c) shall reimburse Purchaser for, all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Business and the Purchased Assets, in each case attributable to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Without limiting the obligations of Purchaser contained elsewhere in this Agreement, including in respect of Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall be liable for and shall pay, and pursuant to Section 7.1(c) shall reimburse Sellers for, all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Business and the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, in each case attributable to periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph (a), any period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date shall be treated as two partial periods, one ending on the Closing Date and the other beginning on the day after the Closing Date except that Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily basis.

(b)

Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to exempt the sale and transfer of the Business from any Transfer Tax.

Without limiting the other terms set forth in this Agreement, real property transfer or gains Tax, real property records recordation fees, documentary stamp Tax or similar Tax attributable to the sale or transfer of the Purchased Assets and not exempted under the Sale Order or by section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Sellers.

(c)

Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall provide reimbursement for any Tax paid by one Party all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.1. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any such Tax, the Party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other of the Tax payable and each Party’s respective liability therefor, although failure to do so will not relieve the other Party from its liability hereunder.

(d)

Purchaser and Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax.

(e)

Purchaser and Sellers shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Purchased Assets for a period of at least six (6) years following the Closing Date. On or after the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at least twenty-one (21) days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records.

(f)

Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets or the Business.

Section 7.2. Employees and Employee Benefit Plans.

(a)

Employees. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have the sole and exclusive discretion, but not the obligation, to offer employment to all of Sellers’s employees on terms subject to the sole and exclusive discretion of Purchaser. Those employees who accept Purchaser’s offer of employment and commence working for Purchaser on the Closing Date (or upon return to work from approved leave of absence) shall be deemed to have terminated their employment with Sellers upon the earlier of such acceptance or the Closing Date, and will hereafter be referred to as the “Employees.” Purchaser will have no Liability with respect to any employee of Sellers who is not an Employee , and Purchaser will not assume, and will have no Liability with respect to, any Seller Employee Benefit Plan. Sellers shall be solely responsible for providing notice of any plant closing or mass layoff in accordance with WARN. Sellers will bear all Liability with respect to WARN, similar state laws or any other Legal Requirements to the extent applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)

Credit Under Purchaser Plans. With respect to any Employees, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent permitted by the third party providers of such plan(s), to cause any employee benefit plans of Purchaser (or any Affiliate thereof

sponsoring or maintaining such plans) which the Employees are entitled to participate in from and after the Closing Date (the “Purchaser Plans”) to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting thereunder, but not with respect to accrual of benefits, service by the Employees with Sellers prior to the Closing as if such service were with Purchaser, to the same extent such service was credited under a comparable benefit plan of Sellers prior to the Closing (except to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits). In addition, with respect to each Purchaser Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, or shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause an Affiliate of Purchaser sponsoring or maintaining such Purchaser Plan, to the extent permitted by the third party providers of such plan, to (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition exclusions, actively at work requirements, insurability requirements or other eligibility limitations to the extent such exclusions, requirements or limitations were waived or were inapplicable under a comparable benefit plan of Sellers prior to the Closing, and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible, co-insurance and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, the Employees and their dependents under a comparable benefit plan of Sellers prior to the Closing. Such Employees shall receive benefits and be covered by employment policies on substantially similar terms and conditions as other employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates with similar titles and functions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such employee benefits shall include immediate eligibility to participate in medical and health insurance plans and 401(k) (including rolling-over any funds maintained by any Employee in any 401(k) account maintained by Sellers) or retirement plans sponsored by Purchaser.

(c)

Employment Tax Reporting. With respect to any Employees, Purchaser and Sellers shall use the standard procedure set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53 2004-34 I.R.B. 320, for purposes of employment tax reporting.

(d)

No Obligation. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to require the employment of (or prevent the termination of employment of) any individual, require minimum benefit levels or prevent any change in the employee benefits provided to any individual Employee. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee of Sellers or any other Person (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of any nature or kind whatsoever, including without limitation, in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) for any specified period. Except as provided for in any employment or other agreement with Purchaser, nothing in this Section 7.2 is intended to interfere with Purchaser’s right from and after the Closing to terminate the employment of, or change the compensation and benefits available to, any employees that are not Employees.

(e)

Employee List. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the execution of this Agreement by all parties, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a list of all of Sellers’s employees, together with particulars of the date of commencement of employment, period of continuous employment, job description or grade, age, holiday entitlements, salary, and commissions.

Section 7.3. Collection of Receivables.

Sellers shall provide reasonable assistance to Purchaser in the collection of any Accounts Receivable included in the Purchased Assets. If, after the Closing Date, Sellers shall receive payment from any account debtor with respect to any Accounts Receivable included in the Purchased Assets, Sellers shall promptly thereafter deliver such funds and assets to Purchaser and take all steps necessary to vest title to such funds and/or assets in Purchaser. Effective as of the Closing Date, Sellers hereby designates Purchaser and its respective officers as Sellers true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute and endorse for the benefit of Purchaser all checks, notes or other documents received by Sellers in payment of or in substitution or exchange for any of the Purchased Assets. Sellers hereby acknowledges and agrees that the power of attorney set forth in the preceding sentence in favor of Purchaser is coupled with an interest, and further agrees to execute and deliver to Purchaser from time to time any documents or other instruments reasonably requested by Purchaser to evidence such power of attorney.

Section 7.4. Certain Actions.

Within one (1) day after the Closing Date, Sellers shall take such corporate and other actions necessary to change its corporate or company name, as the case may be, to a name that is not similar to, or confusing with, the current name of Sellers, including any necessary filings required by the general corporation or other law of the states in which Sellers is incorporated or otherwise qualified or registered to transact business. Sellers acknowledge that the name “Soupman” and all other Intellectual Property shall be and remain, after the Closing, the sole and exclusive property of Purchaser. Prior to the Closing Date, unless otherwise requested by Purchaser, Sellers shall terminate any Contract granting any third party the right to use any Intellectual Property.

Section 7.5. Reasonable Access to Records and Certain Personnel.

In order to facilitate Sellers’ efforts to (a) administer and close the Bankruptcy Cases, and (b) prepare Tax Returns (together, the “Post-Close Filings”), for a period of one (1) year following the Closing, Purchaser shall permit Sellers and Sellers’ counsel and accountants (collectively, “Permitted Access Parties”) during regular business hours, with reasonable notice, and subject to reasonable rules and regulations, reasonable access to the financial and other books and records which comprised part of the Purchased Assets that are required to complete the Post-Close Filings, which access shall include (x) the right of such Permitted Access Parties to copy, at such Permitted Access Parties’ expense, such required documents and records and (y) Purchaser’s copying and delivering to the relevant Permitted Access Parties such documents or records as they require, but only to the extent such Permitted Access Parties furnish Purchaser with reasonably detailed written descriptions of the materials to be so copies and applicable Permitted Access Party reimburses Purchaser for the costs and expenses thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing rights of access shall not be exercisable in such a manner as to interfere with the normal operations of Purchaser’s business. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.5 to the contrary, in no event shall Sellers have access to any information that, based on advice of Purchaser’s counsel, could (1) reasonably be expected to create liability under applicable law, or waive any legal privilege, (2) result in the discharge of

any Trade Secrets of Purchaser, its affiliates or any third parties or (3) violate any obligation of Purchaser with respect to confidentiality. Purchaser shall retain all books and records pertaining to the Purchased Assets for a period of at least two (2) years following the Closing Date. On or after the end of such period, Purchaser shall provide the Sellers and the Permitted Access Parties other with at least twenty-one (21) days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period the Sellers can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records.

Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. Except as otherwise provided herein, the failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

Section 11.7. Expenses.

Except as set forth herein and in the Bid Procedures Order, each party hereto will pay all of its own costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants.

Section 11.8. Partial Invalidity.

Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

Section 11.9. Execution in Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same

agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by and delivered to each of the Parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

The Parties hereby consent to service of process by mail (in accordance with Section 11.3) or any other manner permitted by law.

THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SELLER, PURCHASER, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES IN THE NEGOTIATION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF.
