    5.1 Organization
      and Qualification.
      Seller
      is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under
      the laws of the State of Delaware, with all necessary corporate power and
      authority to own or use its property that it now owns or uses and to carry
      on
      its business as it is now being conducted. Seller is duly qualified to do
      business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership,
      lease, or operation of its property or the conduct of its business requires
      such
      qualification, except where the failure to be in good standing or so qualified
      would not have a material adverse effect on Seller or the Business. At the
      date
      hereof, Seller is authorized to issue one class of stock of up to one thousand
      five hundred (1,500) shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, and
      of
      such authorized shares, one thousand five hundred (1,500) shares (the
“Seller
      Stock”)
      have
      been validly issued and are outstanding. The Seller Stock is fully paid,
      non-assessable, and is entirely owned of record and beneficially by Seller’s
      Owners, neither of whom has granted any options in the Seller Stock to any
      person. There are no options, warrants, or other secur-ities exercisable or
      convertible into, or any calls, commitments, agreements, or obligations of
      any
      kind relating to, any unissued equity securities of Seller. 

     

    5.2 Authorization
      and Validity.
      Each of
      the Seller Parties has the requisite power and is duly authorized to execute
      and
      deliver and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and to execute, deliver
      and
      perform its respective obligations under the documents required at the Closing
      pursuant to Article 10 (the “Closing
      Documents”) and
      any other documents this Agreement contemplates. All action required, by law
      and/or Seller’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or otherwise, to
      authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Closing Documents
      and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby has been taken.
      This Agreement, the Closing Documents and all other documents contemplated
      by
      this Agreement are, or will be upon execution, legal, valid and binding
      obligations of the Seller Parties,
      duly
      enforceable against the Seller Parties according to their terms, except as
      may
      be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, or other similar laws
      affecting creditors’ rights gener-ally, and (ii) general principles of
      equity relating to the availability of equitable remedies.

     

    5.3 Consents
      and Approvals.
      Except
      for that stated on Schedule
      5.3,
      no
      consent, approval, notification or authorization is required in connection
      with
      the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement or any Closing
      Document by the Seller Parties or the consummation of any transactions
      contemplated hereby, including but not limited to any “bulk sale” notice or
      similar filing, publication or notice by any Party under the laws of the State
      of Delaware or the State of Ohio in connection with the transactions
      contemplated hereby.

     

    5.4 No
      Defaults.
      Seller
      is not in default under or in violation of (i) any provision of its
      Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; (ii) any material provision of any
      indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, loan agreement, or other agreement
      or
      instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of
      Seller’s property is subject (including without limitation the Contracts, as
      that term is defined hereinafter), if such default would have a material adverse
      effect on Seller, the Business, or the Purchased Assets; or (iii) any
      statute, law, ordinance, order, judgment, rule, regulation, permit, franchise,
      or other approval or authoriza-tion of any court or governmental agency or
      body
      having jurisdiction over it or any of Seller’s properties which, if enforced,
      would have a material adverse effect on Seller, the Business, or the Purchased
      Assets. The execu-tion and delivery of this Agreement, the Closing Documents
      and
      any other documents contemplated hereunder or thereunder; the Seller Parties’
performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement, the Closing
      Documents and other documents; or the consumma-tion of the transactions
      contemplated herein will not conflict with, result in a breach of or, constitute
      a default under any of the foregoing, require the payment of any prepayment
      or
      other penalties, or re-sult in the creation of any lien, mortgage, pledge,
      charge, or en-cumbrance upon any asset of Seller. Furthermore, no consents
      or
      waivers thereunder are required to be obtained or notices be given in connection
      therewith in order to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Closing Documents
      and/or any other documents contemplated hereunder or thereunder or to
      consum-mate the transac-tions contemplated by this Agree-ment.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5.5 Documents.
      The
      copies and/or originals of all agreements, books and records related to the
      Purchased Assets, and other instru-ments (including any financial statements
      relating to the Business provided to Buyer prior to Closing) that have been
      delivered by the Seller Parties to Buyer are true, correct, and complete copies
      and/or originals of such agreements, books, records, and instru-ments, and
      include all amend-ments thereto. 

     

    5.6 Litigation.
      There
      are no actions, suits, proceedings, orders, investigations, or claims
      (collectively, “Proceedings”)
      pending or threatened against or affecting Seller, the Business or the Purchased
      Assets, or that may interfere with the timely consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement, at law or in equity, or before or by any
      governmental department, commis-sion, board, bureau, agency, or instrumentality.
      Seller is not operating under or subject to, or in default with re-spect to,
      any
      order, writ, injunc-tion, or decree of any court or federal, state, municipal,
      or other governmental depart-ment, commis-sion, board, agency, or
      instrumen-tality. Neither of the Seller Parties has any Knowledge (defined
      below) of the basis for any such action, suit, proceeding, order, investigation,
      or claim. “Knowledge”
is
      defined to include actual knowledge and what a reasonably prudent person would
      discover upon due inquiry and investigation.

     

    5.7 Products.
      During
      its existence, Seller has not had (a) any notification, in writing or otherwise,
      relating to or (b) any claims, demands, causes of action (including third-party
      claims, demands, and causes of action, whether directly or for contribution
      or
      indemnification), losses, damages, expenses (including attorney’s fees), and/or
      liabilities of any kind and nature asserted by any person that arises out of
      or
      results from any one or more of the following, with respect to products sold
      by
      the Seller in relation to the Business: (i) any breach by any manufacturer
      of
      any of its representations, warranties, or covenants; (ii) without limiting
      the
      preceding, any defective product; (iii) any recall of any product, regardless
      of
      who initiated the product recall; and/or (iv) any negligent act or omission
      by a
      manufacturer. In addition, the Seller has not issued or been required to issue
      any notification, in writing or otherwise, to any person about the quality,
      manner of consumption, or spoilage of any products sold by the Seller in
      relation to the Business, or for any other reason. Furthermore, there has been
      no, or any notice received of, death, personal injury, or loss of property
      to
      unrelated third parties, whether during any warranty period or after its
      expiration, in connection with any products of the Business.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5.8 Inventory.
      Except
      for obsolete items and items below standard quality, all of which will have
      been
      written off or written down to net realizable value, all Inventory will (a)
      consist of inventory manufactured or acquired in bona fide transactions in
      the
      ordinary course of business; (b) be of a quality and quantity usable and salable
      in the ordinary course of business; and (c) not exceed the shelf life that
      would
      adversely affect the qualitative performance characteristics or the quality
      of
      the ingredients. All inventories not written off will be reflected in the
      appropriate documents at the lower of average cost or market on a last-in,
      first-out basis. The quantities of each item of Inventory (whether raw
      materials, work-in-process or finished goods) will not be excessive, but will
      be
      reasonable in the circumstances of the Business.

     

    5.9 Title
      to Properties.
      Seller
      is the sole owner of and has good, complete, and marketable title to, and full
      rights to utilize, the Purchased Assets, free and clear of liens, claims, and
      encumbrances. At the Closing, Seller will convey and transfer to Buyer good,
      complete, and marketable title to all of the Purchased Assets, free and clear
      of
      restrictions or conditions to transfer or assignment, and free and clear of
      all
      liens, claims, and encumbrances.

     

    5.10 Real
      Property.
      Schedule
      5.10
      sets
      forth a description of all real property and real property interests currently
      owned, leased or otherwise held by Seller (“Real
      Property”).
      Schedule
      5.10
      also
      sets forth a list of
      all
      leases of real property to which Seller is a signatory or by which it is bound
      or affected (collectively, the “Real
      Property Leases”).
      Seller owns valid and binding leasehold interests in the Real Property Leases.
      The Real Property Leases are in full force and effect and have not been
      terminated. No event has occurred and no condition exists which, with the giving
      of notice or the lapse of time or both, will constitute a default under any
      of
      the Real Property Leases. Seller has not sublet or assigned any portion of
      the
      Real Property. To
      Seller
      Parties’ Knowledge, none of the Real Property is the subject of any condemnation
      action and, to Seller Parties’ Knowledge, there is no proposal under
      consideration by any governmental body to take or use any of the Real Property.
      To Seller Parties’ Knowledge, the Real Property has direct access on a public
      way with sufficient road frontage to satisfy all necessary Laws. 

     

    5.11 Condition
      and Sufficiency of Assets.
      To
      Seller
      Parties’ Knowledge, the
      buildings, plants, structures, furniture, fixtures and/or equipment owned or
      used by Seller and included in the Purchased Assets: (a) are structurally sound,
      are in good operating condition and repair,
      are
      adequately serviced by all required utilities
      and are
      adequate for the uses to which they are being put; (b) do not need maintenance
      or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs;
      and (c)
      are sufficient for the continued conduct of the Business
      as
it
      is
      currently being conducted.
      

     

    5.12 Compliance
      with Laws.
      Seller
      has complied with and is not in violation of any federal, state, county, or
      local statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, guidance, code, license, use,
      permit, franchise, judgment, decree, writ, injunction, and/or order
      (collectively, “Laws”) applicable
      to the Purchased Assets. Neither of the Seller Parties has received any notice
      alleging non-compliance with any Law. There are no present or past conditions
      relating to the Purchased Assets arising from or related to any past or present
      storage, spill, discharge, leak, emission, injection, escape, dumping, or
      release of any kind whatsoever of any hazardous material or any generation,
      transportation, treatment, storage, or disposal of waste materials, raw
      material, or other products of any kind or from the storage, use, or handling
      of
      any hazardous material or other substances. Seller has no reason to anticipate
      that any existing circumstances are likely to result in a violation of any
      Laws.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5.13 Permits
      and Licenses.
      To
      Seller Parties’ Knowledge, all governmental authorizations necessary to carry on
      the Business as presently conducted are set forth in Schedule
      5.13
      and have
      been timely obtained, are in full force and effect and have been complied with.
      All fees and charges incident to those governmental authorizations have been
      fully paid and are current, and no suspension or cancellation of any
      governmental authorization has been threatened or to Seller Parties’ Knowledge
      could result by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
      

     

    5.14 Liabilities.
      Seller
      has no liabilities or obligations, including without limitation any debt,
      accounts payable, indebtedness, commitment, unpaid tax liability or other
      obligation of any nature, incurred in connection with the Purchased Assets
      (whether known or unknown and whether absolute, accrued, contingent, unasserted,
      secured, unsecured or otherwise), except those set forth in Schedule 5.14.
      Schedule
      5.14
      also
      sets forth any liabilities and/or obligations of Seller that are being assumed
      by Buyer at Closing. 

     

    5.15 No
      Other Agreements to Sell the Assets.
      Neither
      the Seller Parties nor any of Seller’s officers or affiliates has any commitment
      or legal obligation, absolute or contingent, to any other person or entity
      other
      than Buyer to sell, assign, transfer, or effect a sale of any of the Purchased
      Assets, to sell or effect a sale of any of the capital stock of Seller, to
      effect any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, or other
      reorganization of Seller, or to enter into any agreement or cause the entering
      into of an agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

     

    5.16 Taxes.
      All tax
      returns or statements required to be filed with respect to the operations or
      assets of Seller prior to the Closing Date have been correctly prepared in
      all
      material respects and timely filed, and all taxes, and penalties and interest,
      if any, required to be paid in respect of the periods covered by such returns
      have been paid in full or adequate reserves have been established for the
      payment of such taxes. All known deficiencies of any tax, assessment, or
      government charge or duty have been paid in full or adequate reserves have
      been
      established for the payment of such taxes. No audits or investigations by
      federal or state authorities are currently pending or threatened. Furthermore,
      Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws relating
      to the payment and withholding of taxes and has, within the time and the manner
      prescribed by such Laws, withheld and paid over to the proper governmental
      authorities all amounts required to be so withheld and paid over under the
      applicable Laws.

     

    5.17 Intellectual
      Property.
      To
      Seller Parties’ Knowledge, Seller owns or has the right to use, pursuant to
      license, sublicense, agreement or permission, all IP. The use of IP has not
      infringed any intellectual property of any other person and, to Seller Parties’
Knowledge, there is no infringement of or unlawful use by any other person
      of
      any of the IP. Schedule 5.17
      also
      sets
      forth a list of all contracts relating to IP to which Seller or any affiliate
      is
      a party or by which Seller or any affiliate is bound or affected to any material
      extent, excluding: (i) license agreements for “off the shelf” computer software
      and other commercially available products and (ii) any licenses implied by
      the
      sale of a product. None of the IP owned or used by Seller is subject to any
      pending, or threatened, Proceedings, and there is no valid basis for asserting
      any such Proceeding. No IP owned or used by Seller is subject to any outstanding
      order restricting the use by Seller (or Buyer following the Closing) of that
      IP.
      The IP included among the Purchased Assets is all that is necessary for the
      operation of the Business as presently conducted.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5.18 Subsidiaries.
      (a) Seller has no subsidiaries; (b) Seller does not own, beneficially, of
      record or otherwise, any securities of any entity; (c) Seller is not a
      party or subject to any partnership, joint venture, or similar agreement or
      arrangement; and (d) except shares of common stock of ANI owned of record or
      beneficially by Seller’s Owners (or Seller’s Owners’ spouses), no Seller
      Party owns, directly or indirectly, any security or financial interest in any
      other entity or concern which competes with or does business with Seller or
      which would interfere with the performance of any duties it/they owe to Seller.

      status): name; job title; hire date; current compensation paid or payable;
      vacation accrued; eligibility to participate under any Employee Benefit Plan;
      and citizenship. Seller Parties have no Knowledge that any employee intends

      employment arrangements and policies to be implemented after the
      Closing).

     

    (b) Neither
      Seller, nor any affiliate of Seller, is now or has ever been a party to any
      collective bargaining or other labor contract. In the last five (5) years there

      organizational activity or other labor dispute or Proceeding; (ii) any
      application or complaint filed by any employee or union with any governmental

      currently, nor has there been in the past five years, any internal investigation
      of any charge or complaint by any employee of Seller alleging harassment,
      discrimination or other employment conduct which could give rise to liability.
      To Seller Parties’ Knowledge, all Laws relating to Seller’s employees, including
      Laws relating to terms of employment, immigration and employment of illegal
      aliens, the payment of social security and other payroll taxes, the payment
      of
      employee wages and benefits (including overtime pay) and occupational safety
      and
      health, have been complied with in all material respects.

     

    (c) All
      of
      Seller’s employees and consultants are employed or engaged on an “at will”
basis, and Seller may terminate such employment or consulting arrangement at
      any
      time without any liability for severance or any other obligation, except its
      obligation to pay unpaid accrued salary or consulting fees and vacation pay
      and
      to provide group health insurance in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus
      Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”).
      Except as set forth on Schedule
      5.19,
      Seller
      has not made any statement or taken any action which could reasonably be
      expected to result in an employee being found to be entitled to indefinite
      employment, employment for a particular term or subject to termination only
      for
      cause.

      each employee policy manual, handbook or other employment policy provided or
      applicable to the employees of Seller, and a copy of the employment application
      forms, form offer letters and other hiring documents (including pre-employment
      tests) currently being used by Seller or which have been used by Seller in
      the
      last two years, in connection with the hiring of any new employees, have been
      provided or made available to Buyer, and all such copies provided to Buyer

      hereto, Seller has no contracts, agreements, arrangements or commitments
      material to the Business other than that disclosed on Schedule
      1.1(c).
      Seller
      has supplied Buyer with a true and correct copy and/or description of each
      such
      contract, agreement, arrangement and commitment. Each of the contracts,
      agreements, arrangements and commitments listed in Schedules
      1.1(c) and 5.21
      (each a
“Contract”
and
      collectively, the “Contracts”)
      is in
      full force and effect and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
      of
      the parties thereto and is enforceable in accordance with its terms. Seller
      has
      complied with the terms of each Contract and is not in default under any
      Contract, and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time, would
      constitute a default or cause an acceleration of any obligation in connection
      therewith. To the Seller Parties’ knowledge, no other party is in default in any
      material respect under any Contract.

     

    5.22 Insurance.
      Schedule
      5.22
      sets

      the Closing; and (b) are sufficient for compliance with all Laws and
      Contracts to which the Seller is a party or is bound or affected. Seller has

      been refused insurance by any carrier to which it has applied for insurance
      within the past five (5) years. Seller has paid all premiums due by it and
      has otherwise performed all of its obligations under its insurance policies.
      The
      policies to which Seller is a party or that provide coverage to Seller, or
      any
      director or officer of Seller, taken together, provide adequate insurance
      coverage for the assets and the operations of Seller for all risks normally
      insured against by a person carrying on the same business or businesses as
      Seller. Seller has had no claims or loss experience under any insurance policy
      at any time during the three-year period immediately preceding the date hereof.

      has been no material change in the condi-tion (financial or otherwise) of
      Seller since February 28, 2007 through the Closing Date, except changes
      occurring in the ordinary course of business, which changes have not material-ly
      adversely af-fected its organiza-tion, business, proper-ties, condi-tion or
      prospects.

     

    5.24 Adverse
      Facts and Circumstances.

      Purchased Assets.

    COVENANTS

     

    7. Covenants
      of the Parties.
      

     

    7.1 Conduct
      of Business of Seller.
      During
      the period between the Effective Date and continuing until the earlier of
      termination of this Agreement or the Closing, Seller and Seller’s Owners agree
      (except to the extent that Buyer shall otherwise consent in writing, which
      consent shall be made in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion) to carry on
      its business in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the
      same
      manner as it is currently being conducted and use all reasonable efforts
      consistent with past practices and policies to preserve in tact its present
      business organization. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without
      the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall be made in Buyer’s sole
      and absolute discretion), Seller shall not: 

     

    (a) sell,
      pledge, lease, dispose of, grant, encumber or otherwise authorize the sale,
      pledge, disposition, grant or encumbrance of any Purchased Asset;

     

    (b) incur
      any
      further debt, accounts receivable, indebtedness, commitments, or other such
      liability; or

     

    (c) enter
      into a contract to do any of the foregoing, or authorize or announce an
      intention to do any of the foregoing.

     

    7.2 Access
      to Information.
      Seller
      shall afford Buyer access during the period from the Effective Date to the
      Closing to all of Seller’s personnel, property, books, contracts and records and
      shall provide Buyer copies of such books, contracts, and records at Buyer’s
      request.

     

    7.3 Best
      Efforts.
      The
      Seller Parties hereby covenant and agree that each shall use its best efforts
      to
      cause the lessor of the premises, which is the subject of the Lease Agreement,
      to consent to the assignment of the Lease Agreement and all related items from
      Seller to Buyer.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    7.4 Reasonable
      Best Efforts; Notice; Further Assurances.
      Each
      Party will use its reasonable best efforts to fulfill the conditions required
      to
      be fulfilled by it to bring about the timely consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party will give prompt notice to the other
      Parties of the occurrence of any event or the failure of any event to occur
      that
      might preclude or interfere with (i) the satisfaction of any condition precedent
      to the obligations of any Party under this Agreement; (ii) the truth and
      accuracy of any Party’s representations or warranties under this Agreement; or
      (iii) the timely consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will
      promptly notify Buyer of any fact or circumstance which could constitute a
      breach of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Article 5.
      After the Closing, each Party will take all such further actions, execute and
      deliver all such further documents and do all other acts and things as another
      Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out and documenting
      the
      intent of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and for the purpose
      of assisting the other Party in the enforcement of any rights obtained pursuant
      to this Agreement. Should any such fact or condition require any change in
      the
      Disclosure Schedules if such Schedules were dated the date of the occurrence
      or
      discovery of any such fact or condition, the Seller Parties will promptly
      deliver to the Buyer a supplement to the Disclosure Schedules specifying such
      changes; provided,
      however,
      that
      the determination of whether the conditions to Closing set forth in Article
      9
      have been met shall be made without giving effect to any such supplement to
      the
      Disclosure Schedules; provided,
      further,
      that
      such supplement shall not be considered as part of the Disclosure Schedules
      for
      purposes of determining whether representations and warranties have been
      breached in respect of indemnification claims being made pursuant to Article
      11
      hereof. Any portion of the Disclosure Schedules and any Schedule which is
      delivered after the execution of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing
      Date shall be deemed to be a supplement to the Disclosure Schedules, and as
      such, shall be treated in the same manner as a supplement to the Disclosure
      Schedules described in the preceding sentence. 

     

    7.5 Intentionally
      Omitted.

     

    7.6 Prorations

     

    . 

     

    (a) All
      items
      that affect the Business or the Purchased Assets and that relate, in whole
      or in
      part, to periods on or prior to the effective time of the Closing, will be
      apportioned as of the Closing Date (the “Proration
      Items”),
      and
      representatives of Seller and Buyer will, if practicable, examine all relevant
      books and records as of the Closing Date in order to make the determination
      of
      such apportionments. The net amount of all Proration Items will be settled
      and
      paid on the Closing Date to the extent practicable, or as soon thereafter as
      is
      reasonably possible. In the event that the amount of any of the Proration Items
      is not known by Seller and Buyer at the Closing, the proration will be made
      based upon the amount of the most recent cost of such Proration Item to Seller.
      After Closing, Buyer and Seller each will provide to the other prompt written
      notice of each invoice relating to any Proration Item so estimated. Within
      ten
      days thereafter, Buyer and Seller will make any payment to the other that is
      necessary to compensate for any difference between the proration made at the
      Closing and the correct proration based on the actual invoice. Seller and Buyer
      will each fully cooperate to avoid, to the extent legally possible, the payment
      of duplicate personal property taxes, and each will furnish, at the request
      of
      the other, proof of payment of any personal property taxes or other
      documentation that is a prerequisite to avoiding payment of a duplicate
      tax.

     

    (b) If
      either
      Buyer or Seller (a “Payor”)
      pays a
      Proration Item for which the other (a “Payee”)
      is
      obligated in whole or in part under this Section 7.6, the Payor will present
      to
      the Payee evidence of payment and a statement setting forth the Payee’s
      proportionate share of such Proration Item, and the Payee will promptly pay
      its
      share to the Payor. In the event either Buyer or Seller (as applicable, a
“Recipient”)
      receives payments, or the benefit of payments, of a Proration Item to which
      the

    11.1 Survival
      and Indemnification.
      All
      representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations of the Seller Parties
      in
      the Transaction Documents will survive the Closing. The remedies provided in
      this Article 11 will not be exclusive of or limit any other remedies that
      may be available to Buyer. The Seller Parties, jointly and severally, shall
      indemnify Buyer and its affiliates, employees, agents, representatives,
      successors, and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer
      Parties”)
      and

      cause of action, cost, damage, deficiency, penalty, fine, or expense, whether

      incurred by Buyer which arise, result from, or relate to any liability or other
      obligation of Seller not specifically assumed by Buyer under the Transaction
      Documents, or any misrepresentation or breach by a Seller Party of any of
      its/her representations or warranties or any nonfulfillment or breach by a
      Seller Party to perform any of its/her covenants, agreements, or other
      provisions in the Transaction Documents. The Seller Parties’ requirement to
      provide indemnification under this Article 11 shall terminate three years after
      the Closing Date, except for those matters relating to taxes, employee benefits,
      environmental, and
      stockholder capitalization, for which the requirement shall be indefinite.
      

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    11.2 Right
      to Set-Off.
      From
      and after the Closing Date and following delivery of the Purchase Price payable
      at Closing to the Seller in accordance with Section 2.1, upon notice to the
      Seller Parties specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such set-off,
      the
      Buyer may set-off any amount which the Buyer may be entitled to hereunder (the
      “Set-Off
      Amount”) against
      amounts otherwise payable for any reason by Buyer to the Seller Parties. The
      Set-Off Amount shall be deposited and held in an escrow account to be determined
      by Buyer, pursuant
      to an escrow agreement with customary terms, including release terms with
      respect to the ownership and distribution of the Set-Off Amount, which terms
      shall require the receipt by the escrow agent of joint written instructions
      for
      release from both of the Seller Parties and Buyer or the receipt of a final
      non-appealable binding judgment or order from a court or arbitral authority
      of
      competent jurisdiction. The
      exercise of such a right of set-off by Buyer in good faith, whether or not
      ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute a breach of Buyer’s
      agreements or obligations under this Agreement.

    12. Non-Competition.

     

    12.1 Non-Competition

     

    12.1.a.1 .
      In
      consideration of the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated hereby, and without the making of any additional
      payment for or in respect of the covenants and agreements made in this
      Section 12.1, each of the Seller Parties hereby covenants and agrees
      it/she/he shall not, for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date
      (“Non-Compete
      Period”),
      directly or indirectly, in any county and/or city in the United States of
      America engage in, or have any interest in, or manage, or operate or otherwise
      participate in, or encourage, counsel, advise or financially assist, or support
      such Seller Parties’ affiliate, spouse, or other immediate family member that
      resides with him/her to be or become involved in, any activity with any person,
      firm, corporation, partnership or business (whether as an advisor, director,
      officer, employee, agent, representative, principal, partner, security holder,
      consultant or otherwise) that engages in the business of selling, via its
      website on the internet (and not from any physical retail presence), all-natural
      gourmet foods and other items, placing an emphasis on products made by Amish
      families or in the Amish tradition. Each of the Seller Parties acknowledges
      and
      agrees that these restrictions are a material part of the consideration given
      in
      this transaction and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement
      without the Seller Parties agreement to be bound by these provisions.

     

    12.2 Invalidity.
      If any
      of the foregoing provisions of this Article 12 are determined by any court
      of
      competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for
      too
      great of a period of time or over too great of a geographic area, or by reason
      of their being too extensive in any other respect, such covenants shall be
      interpreted to extend only for the longest period of time and over the greatest
      geographic area, and to otherwise have the broadest application, as shall be
      enforceable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision
      of
      this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, which shall
      continue in full force and effect. Each of the Seller Parties acknowledges
      and
      agrees that the restrictions contained in this Article 12 are reasonable and
      will not prevent such Seller Party from earning a living, that Buyer’s remedy at
      law for any breach of the provisions of this Article 12 is and will be
      insufficient and inadequate and that Buyer shall be entitled to equitable
      relief, including by way of temporary restraining order, temporary injunction
      and permanent injunction, without the need for posting a bond or for any other
      undertaking (including without limitation, the need to prove the inadequacy
      of
      money damages), in addition to any remedies Buyer may have at law.

    TERMINATION

     

    13.  Termination.

     

    13.1 Events
      of Termination.
      This
      Agreement may, by notice given prior to or at the Closing, be
      terminated:

     

    (a)
        (i) by
      Buyer if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed
      by Seller and/or either of Seller’s Owners (and not cured within five days of
      written notice if capable of cure) and such breach has not been waived; or
      (ii) by Seller if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has
      been
      committed by Buyer (and not cured within five days of written notice if capable
      of cure) and such breach has not been waived;

    

    (b)
         (i) by
      Buyer if any of the conditions in Article 9 has not been satisfied as of the
      Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible
      (other than through the failure of Buyer to comply with its obligations under
      this Agreement) and Buyer has not waived such condition on or before the
      Closing Date; or (ii) by Seller, if any of the conditions in Article 8 has
      not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition
      is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Seller to comply
      with its obligations under this Agreement) and Seller has not waived such
      condition on or before the Closing Date;

    

    (c)
         by
      mutual
      consent of Buyer and Seller; or

    

    (d)
         by
      either
      Buyer or Seller if the Closing has not occurred (other than through the failure
      of any Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to comply fully with its
      obligations under this Agreement) on or before that date which is 30 days
      following the Effective Date, or such later date as the Parties may agree
      upon.

    

    13.2 Effect
      of Termination.
      Each
      Party’s right of termination under Section 12.1 is in addition to any other
      rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a
      right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement
      is
      terminated pursuant to Section  12.1, all further obligations of the
      Parties under this Agreement will terminate; provided,
      however,
      that if
      this Agreement is terminated by a Party because of the breach of the Agreement
      by the other Party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating
      Party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the
      other Party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the
      terminating Party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such
      termination unimpaired.
