NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


 


1.           Contribution of Assets and Issuance of Shares:


 


(a)             On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the closing for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”), Footstar shall convey, transfer, assign, deliver and grant to Xstelos, its legal representatives, successors, and assigns, forever, all right, title and interest in and to all of its assets and property of every kind and description (the “Contributed Assets”).


 


(b)             Footstar hereby appoints Xstelos, its successors and assigns, the true and lawful attorney of Footstar, with full power of substitution, in the name of Footstar, or otherwise, and on behalf and for the benefit of Xstelos, its successors and assigns, to execute and deliver on behalf of Footstar and in its name any and all agreements, amendments, assignments, consents, releases, waivers, instruments of conveyance, transfer and assignment and other documents or instruments and to do all such other acts which such attorney may deem necessary or appropriate (a) to vest in Xstelos all right, title and interest of Footstar in and to the Contributed Assets, or (b) in connection with such conveyance, sale, transfer, assignment and delivery: to demand and receive from time to time the Contributed Assets; to give receipts, releases and acquittances for or in respect of the same or any part thereof; to collect, for the account of Xstelos, all other items transferred to Xstelos as provided herein; and to endorse with the name of Footstar any checks received on account of any such items; and to defend and compromise any and all Contributed Assets, that Xstelos, its successors and assigns, shall deem desirable.


 




  





 











  






 


(c)             Footstar hereby covenants with Xstelos, its successors and assigns, that Footstar, its successors and assigns, will do, execute and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed and delivered, all such further acts, transfers, assignments and conveyances, powers of attorney and assurances for the better assuring, conveying and confirming unto Xstelos, its successors and assigns, all and singular, the Contributed Assets hereby assigned, transferred and conveyed which Xstelos, its successors and assigns, shall request.


 


(d)            Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an agreement to transfer or assign any property, claim, contract, agreement, license, lease, commitment, sales order or purchase order, government approvals, permits, and other authorizations or any claim or right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom relating to the Contributed Assets (the “Rights”) if an attempted assignment of such Rights without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach thereof or in any way affect the rights of Xstelos or Footstar thereunder and such consent has not been obtained; provided, however, that upon the consent of such third party to the assignment of such Rights, the assignment to Xstelos by Footstar of any such Rights shall be deemed effective as of the Closing, without any further action by the parties hereto.


 


(e)             Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, at the Closing, Xstelos shall issue, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Footstar, 100 shares of Xstelos Common Stock, which shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of Xstelos Common Stock and certificates representing such stock and, as a result, Xstelos shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of Footstar.


 


2.           Liabilities Being Assumed.


 


(a)             Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, in consideration of the foregoing assignment and conveyances and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, at the Closing, simultaneously with the transfer, conveyance and assignment to Xstelos of the Contributed Assets and issuance of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Xstelos Common Stock to Footstar, Xstelos shall assume, and agrees to pay, perform or discharge when due all of the liabilities and obligations of Footstar, known or unknown, whether arising on, prior to, or following the date of this Agreement (the “Assumed Liabilities”).


 


(b)             Xstelos, for itself and its successors and assigns, covenants that, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, it will do, execute and deliver all such further acts, instruments of assumption and acknowledgments or take such other action as Footstar may request in order to effectuate Xstelos’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.


 


3.           Closing.  The Closing shall take place at the offices of Olshan Grundman Frome & Rosenzweig LLP, 65 East 55th Street, New York, New York 10022 or such other location as the parties shall agree, as soon as practicable following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.

(b)             Promptly after the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, and is not the subject of any stop order or proceedings seeking a stop order, Footstar shall effect the Distribution by causing  to be distributed to the holders of record on the Record Date of Footstar Common Stock all of the issued and outstanding shares of Xstelos Common Stock, on the basis of one share of Xstelos Common Stock for each one share of Footstar Common Stock held of record by such holders on the Record Date, as will be further described in the Registration Statement and the prospectus that will form a part thereof.
