    ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES OF GALAXY

     

    Galaxy
hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

     

    SECTION
3.1 Capitalization

     

    The
authorized capital stock of Galaxy consists of 85,000,000 shares of common stock
and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.  As of the date of this
Agreement, 17,110,016 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding and no
shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding.  14,075,669 shares have
been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, options
and convertible securities or obligations (including the 9,941,278 Conversion
Shares through the date of this Agreement).  The Shares are fully paid
and non-assessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership
thereof.  The Shares were issued in compliance with exemptions from
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and the securities laws of
the State of Florida.

     

    SECTION
3.2 Financial Statements

     

    The
audited financial statements of Galaxy for the year ended March 31, 2008 present
fairly in all material respects the financial position of Galaxy as of such date
and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered
thereby.  Since March 31, 2008, no event or development has occurred
which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
business of Galaxy, its financial condition or operating results, or its
prospects.

     

    SECTION
3.3 Disclosure

     

    All
reports, registration statements and other documents filed by Galaxy with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) during the two year period
immediately preceding the Closing Date (collectively, the “Company SEC
Documents”) have been prepared in accordance with, and comply in all material
respects with, the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the
Commission under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”). To the best knowledge of Galaxy, none of the
Company SEC Documents at the time it was filed or became effective, as the case

material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not
misleading.

or make any filing with, or give any notice (except as contemplated by Section
1.2) to, any state or federal public body or authority, except for the filing of

either filed as an exhibit to, or described in, the Company SEC Documents (a
“material agreement”), (ii) to the best of Galaxy’s knowledge, result in a
violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time
or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination,
cancellation, material modifications or acceleration) under any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of any material agreement, or (iii) violate any order,
writ, injunction, decree, or, to the best of Galaxy’s knowledge after
consultation with counsel, any statute, rule or regulation applicable to Galaxy
or any of Galaxy’s properties or assets.

is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota.

     

    SECTION 4.2 Authority Relative to
This Agreement.

     

    Purchaser
has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
consummate the Contemplated Transactions. The execution, delivery and
performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by it of the
Contemplated Transactions have been duly and validly authorized and approved by
Purchaser and no other proceedings on the part of Purchaser are necessary to
authorize the execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement or the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions. This Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with
its terms.

     

    SECTION
4.3 No Conflicts; Consents.

     

    (a)
Neither the execution, delivery or performance by Purchaser of this Agreement
nor the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions requires Purchaser, to the
best of its knowledge, to obtain any consent, approval or action of or waiver
from, or make any filing with, or give any notice to, any state or federal
public body or authority or any other person, except for filings on Form 3 and
Schedule 13D, and (b) neither the execution, delivery or performance by
Purchaser of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Contemplated
Transactions nor compliance by Purchaser with any of the provisions hereof shall
(i) conflict with or result in any

    
      
         

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    breach of
any of Purchasers governing documents, (ii) result in a violation or breach of,
or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or
give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation, material
modification or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions
of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, commitment,
arrangement, understanding, agreement or other instrument or obligation of any
kind to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser or any of its
properties or assets may be bound, or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction,
decree, judgment, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Purchaser or any of
Purchaser’s assets or properties.

     

    SECTION
4.4 Purchase for Investment.

     

    Purchaser
is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment, and not with a
view to any distribution thereof. Purchaser acknowledges that the certificates
evidencing the Shares will contain a legend restricting transfer thereof
pursuant to the Securities Act and that the Securities may not be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of unless pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Securities or
pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

     

    SECTION
4.5 Purchaser Status and Experience.

     

     Purchaser
is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Act.  Purchaser, either alone or together with his representatives,
has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial
matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment
in the Securities.  Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a
complete loss of such investment.  Purchaser recognizes that an
investment in the securities is highly speculative and that the public market
for the Shares is relatively illiquid.  Purchaser understands that the
Purchase Price has been determined solely by negotiations between Seller and
Purchaser and represents a significant premium to the current market price of
the common stock.  Purchaser understands that any sale or transfer of
the Securities is subject to restrictions under Federal securities laws and that
Galaxy does not have any obligation to cause any sale or transfer of any of the
Securities to be registered under the Act or under any state “blue sky”
laws.

     

    SECTION
4.6 Access to Information

     

    Purchaser
acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions
as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of
Seller and Galaxy concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction and
the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information
about Galaxy and Galaxy’s financial condition, results or operations, business,
properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable Purchaser to evaluate
its investment in the Securities; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such
additional information which Seller or Galaxy possesses or can acquire without
unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the Securities.

     

    SECTION
4.7 Reliance

     

    Purchaser
understands and acknowledges that (i) the Securities were offered and sold to it
without registration under the Act in a private placement that is exempt from
the registration

    
      
         

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    provisions
of the Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and
that Galaxy (and its counsel, solely for the purpose of providing its opinions
to Galaxy’s transfer agent as contemplated by Section 1.2(d) hereof) will rely
upon, the accuracy and truthfulness of Purchaser’s representations in Sections
4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 hereof, and Purchaser hereby consents to such
reliance.

     

    SECTION 4.8
Brokers

     

    Purchaser
has engaged a financial advisor in connection with the Acquisition but has not
taken any action in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby so as to give rise to any claim against Seller for any
brokerage or finder’s commissions, fees or similar compensation.

     

    ARTICLE

    Re:  Employment
Continuation – Michael E. Broll  via email
and Priority

    mebroll@galaxyfoods.com

    Dear Mr.
Broll:

    

    This
letter sets forth my understanding respecting the continuation of your
employment with Galaxy Nutritional Foods, Inc. and/or its successor
organizations (“Galaxy”) after completion of our purchase of a controlling
interest in Galaxy. My understanding of these terms is as follows,
namely:

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              1.

            	
              I
      would request that you continue as Chief Executive Officer and Board
      Member of Galaxy through March 31,
2009.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              2.

            	
              It
      would be my hope that we mutually re-negotiate an Employment Agreement
      between Galaxy and you prior to March 31, 2009. In the event that we
      cannot re-negotiate an Employment Agreement or, in the event that either
      you or Galaxy decides that it is not in their best interest to continue
      your employment with Galaxy, then, and in that event, Galaxy would accept
      and you would tender your resignation as of March 31,
  2009.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              3.

            	
              Upon
      receipt of your resignation from Galaxy and its Board of Directors on
      March 31, 2009, then, and in that event, in consideration of your staying
      with Galaxy during the transition period subsequent to the change of
      control in Galaxy and in recognition of your waiver of your present Galaxy
      Stay Bonus, Galaxy will pay to you compensation of $20,000.00 per month
      for 25 consecutive months beginning on April 1, 2009 less any applicable
      federal and/or state taxes.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              4.

            	
              There
      may be other issues to be considered such as COBRA, pension benefits or
      other matters which need be considered and which we will deal with on or
      before March 31, 2009.

            

    

    

    In any
event, if you find the above terms to be acceptable, please execute one copy of
this letter and return it to me at your convenience. I look forward to working
with you.
