ARTICLE I

PRE-CLOSING ASSET AND LIABILITY TRANSFERS;

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SECURITIES

1.01 Certain Actions to be Taken Prior to Closing. In anticipation of the sale of the Securities and the other transactions contemplated herein, prior to the Closing Date, Seller may cause the Companies and the Company Subsidiaries to distribute to its members cash necessary to make all estimated distributions pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.1.4 of the M2P2 Operating Agreement for profits allocated to the members of M2P2 prior to the Closing Date. Such distributions will be reflected as a reduction in Equity Value as of the Pricing Date.

1.02 Purchase and Sale of Securities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created by Buyer or arising under applicable federal or state securities Laws), and Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Securities.

1.03 Purchase Price. In consideration for the transactions contemplated herein, Buyer agrees to pay to Seller an amount equal to the sum of the Equity Value as of the Pricing Date and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”) by delivery of (a) the number of shares (the “Equity Consideration”) of Buyer’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), equal to (i) twenty percent (20%) of two-thirds of the Equity Value (the “Closing Funded Amount”) divided by (ii) the Per-Share Final Price; (b) cash equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Closing Funded Amount (the “Cash Consideration”) payable by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to an account of Seller designated by written notice to Buyer at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing; and (c) one or more notes of Buyer in the aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of one-third of the Equity Value and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Closing Unfunded Amount”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each and collectively, the “Note”), which Note shall be secured by all the Securities as set forth in the Pledge Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Pledge Agreement”).

1.04 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxx & Xxx, P.C., located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, at 10:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, on the Execution Date, or such other date or other location as agreed upon by the parties. The date of the Closing is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Closing shall be deemed to occur at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the obligations of the parties hereto under Article I.

1.05 Payment of Preliminary Purchase Price and Deposit of Escrow Amount.

(a) Buyer agrees to pay to Seller at Closing an amount equal to the Equity Value as of August 14, 2010 (the “Preliminary Equity Value”) plus Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (collectively, the “Preliminary Purchase Price”), less the Escrow Amount. Subject to Section 1.05(b), such Preliminary Purchase Price shall be delivered to Seller in the form of Common Stock, cash and a Note in accordance with the Consideration Ratio.

(b) On the Closing Date, Buyer will deposit ten percent (10%) of the Preliminary Purchase Price (such amount, the “Escrow Amount”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Amount shall consist of shares of Common Stock, cash and a Note in the same ratio as the Consideration Ratio.

1.06 Final Statement of Equity Value; Settlement of Final Purchase Price.

(a) Within sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing, Seller will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Buyer a consolidated and combined balance sheet (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) for M2P2 Operations as of the Pricing Date prepared consistent with, according to and as provided in the notes to the Illustrative Balance Sheet. The Closing Date Balance Sheet will include the Equity Value for M2P2 Operations as of the Pricing Date plus Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Closing Date Equity Value”) and a statement (the “Closing Statement”) reflecting the calculation of any adjustment to the Preliminary Purchase Price under Section 1.06(e). In connection with the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Equity Value and for purposes of determining the amount of inventory of the Business on the Pricing Date to be included in such Closing Date Balance Sheet, Seller shall (i) with respect to its sow farm inventory (i.e., all of the inventory of M2P2 Operations that is located outside the State of Iowa) conduct a physical inventory as of the Pricing Date, and (ii) with respect to its finishing inventory (i.e., all of the inventory of M2P2 Operations located within the State of Iowa), update its internal records, consistent with past practice, as of the Pricing Date. A representative designated by Buyer may be present, at its own cost, to witness the physical inventory.

(b) If (i) Buyer disagrees with the calculation of the Closing Date Equity Value or the Closing Date Balance Sheet as set forth on the Closing Statement and (ii) the amount of such disagreement exceeds $25,000, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of such disagreement within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Closing Statement by Buyer (such period, the “Closing Statement Review Period”), which notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identify the specific items involved and the dollar amount of such disagreement and provide reasonable supporting documentation for such disagreement (the “Closing Statement Dispute”). After the end of the Closing Statement Review Period, Buyer may not introduce additional Closing Statement Disputes or increase the amount of the Closing Statement Dispute, and any item not so identified shall be deemed to be agreed to by Buyer and will be final and binding upon the parties hereto for all purposes (absent Fraud). The failure of Buyer to deliver written notice of a Closing Statement Dispute prior to the expiration of the Closing Statement Review Period shall be deemed acceptance of calculation of the Closing Date Equity Value and the Closing Date Balance Sheet as set forth on the Closing Statement, and such calculations shall thereupon shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto for all purposes.

(c) Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Closing Statement Dispute and any resolution thereof agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto for all purposes. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any Closing Statement Dispute within twenty (20) days after delivery of such Closing Statement Dispute in accordance with Section 1.06(b), then the Closing Statement Dispute shall be referred for final determination by Kohler & Eyre CPA’s, LLP (the “Accounting Arbitrator”) within fifteen (15) days thereafter. If such firm is unable to serve, Buyer and Seller shall jointly select a substitute Accounting Arbitrator, provided that such substitute firm shall not be the independent auditor of Buyer or Seller or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries, including the Illustrative Balance Sheet. The Accounting Arbitrator shall only consider those items and amounts as to which there is disagreement within the time periods and on the terms specified in this Section 1.06 and must resolve all unresolved Closing Statement Disputes in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the Illustrative Balance Sheet. The Accounting Arbitrator shall deliver to Buyer and Seller, as promptly as practicable and in any event within forty-five (45) days after its appointment, a written report setting forth the resolution of any unresolved Closing Statement Dispute determined in accordance with the terms herein. The Accounting Arbitrator shall select as a resolution the position of either Buyer and Seller for each Closing Statement Dispute (based solely on presentations and supporting material provided by the parties and not pursuant to any independent review) and may not impose an alternative resolution. In the case of a Closing Statement Dispute, the amounts set forth on the Closing Statement as amended by the Accounting Arbitrator shall thereupon become the Closing Date Equity Value or the Closing Date Balance Sheet, which shall be final and binding upon all of the parties to this Agreement (absent manifest error). The fees, expenses and costs of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne by Buyer and Seller in proportion to the aggregate amount unsuccessfully disputed by Buyer and Seller, respectively, in connection with the dispute resolution procedures described in this Section 1.06.

(d) Each party shall provide the other party and its representatives with reasonable access to the business records and relevant personnel and properties during the preparation of the Closing Statement and the resolution of any disputes that may arise under Section 1.06.

(e) In the event that the calculation of the final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value:

(i) does not equal or exceed the Preliminary Purchase Price, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows: Following the final determination thereof, Buyer shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent out of the Escrow Amount the amount of such deficiency (the “Equity Value Shortfall”), subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.06(f). In the event that the amount of the Equity Value Shortfall is not fully funded by the Escrow Amount (such difference between the Equity Value Shortfall and Escrow Amount, the “Unfunded Equity Value Shortfall”), Seller shall pay the Unfunded Equity Value Shortfall to Buyer not later than ten (10) business days following such final determination, by delivery of (A) the certificate of Common Stock representing the Equity Consideration delivered at Closing for cancellation and re-issuance in accordance herewith, (B) cash by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Buyer equal to (x) the difference between the Cash Consideration as determined utilizing the final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value and the Cash Consideration as determined utilizing the Preliminary Equity Value less (y) cash distributed to Buyer as part of the Escrow Amount from the Escrow Agent, and (C) the Note for cancellation and re-issuance in accordance herewith, and the Escrow Agent shall release to Buyer the entire Escrow Amount not later than concurrently with payment by Seller. Upon receipt of the certificate of Common Stock identified above pursuant to Section 1.06(e)(i)(A), Buyer shall deliver a new certificate representing such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Equity Consideration as determined utilizing the final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value. Upon receipt of the Note pursuant to this Section 1.06(e)(i)(C), Buyer shall deliver a new Note with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Closing Unfunded Amount as determined utilizing the final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value.

(ii) exceeds the Preliminary Purchase Price, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows: Following the final determination thereof, Seller shall be entitled to receive from Buyer the amount of such excess (the “Equity Value Excess”). Buyer shall pay the Equity Value Excess to Seller not later than ten (10) business days following such final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value, by delivery of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the difference between the Equity Consideration as determined utilizing the final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value and the Equity Consideration as determined using the Preliminary Equity Value, divided by (y) the Per-Share Final Price, (B) cash by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Seller equal to the difference between the Cash Consideration as determined utilizing the Preliminary Equity Value and the Cash Consideration as determined utilizing the final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value, and (C) a Note for an aggregate principal amount equal to the balance of the Equity Value Excess, and the Escrow Agent shall release to Seller the entire Escrow Amount not later than concurrently with payment by Buyer.

(f) In the event of an Unfunded Equity Value Shortfall, no later than five (5) days after the final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value, the Escrow Agent shall release to Buyer the entire Escrow Amount. In the event an Equity Value Shortfall is funded by the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 1.06(e)(i), the balance of the Escrow Amount, if any, shall be released to Seller concurrently with payment to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.06(e)(i). Any distributions from the Escrow Amount by the Escrow Agent shall consist of shares of Common Stock, cash, and Note in the same ratio as the Consideration Ratio. At the request of either Buyer or Seller, Seller shall return all earlier delivered Notes in its possession marked “replaced in full,” and, upon receipt of such earlier Notes, Buyer shall deliver to Seller an amended and restated Note for an aggregate principal amount equal to the Closing Unfunded Amount as determined utilizing the final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Note, Interest (as defined in the Note) shall start accruing as of the Closing Date on the entire Unfunded Closing Amount as determined utilizing the final determination of the Closing Date Equity Value regardless of when such Note was issued.

1.07 Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no fraction of a whole share of Common Stock and shall be issued in connection with any amounts payable by Buyer pursuant to Sections 1.03, 1.05 and 1.06 to Seller. Seller shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Per-Share Final Price.

1.08 Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person an amount not in excess of the amount it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the payment of such consideration under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax or other Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by or on behalf of Buyer, and timely paid to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

1.09 Purchase Price Allocations. Attached as Schedule 1.09 is an allocation of the Purchase Price and liabilities of M2P2 Operations to the assets of M2P2 Operations as of August 14, 2010 for all purposes (including tax, financial accounting and other reporting purposes) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Such Purchase Price Allocation, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.06, shall be used by the parties for all purposes, including any Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and other information reports. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.06 shall be consistent with the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

This Agreement, and each of the Ancillary Agreements to which Seller is a party, when executed and delivered by the applicable counterparties thereto, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, or moratorium Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies.

3.03 No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder do not and will not, with or without the giving of notices, the lapse of time or both, (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Seller Operating Agreement, (ii) assuming the receipt of all consents, approvals, waivers and authorizations and the making of the notices and filings referred to in Section 3.05, conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the termination, Lien, vesting, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any right or obligation of Seller under, or result in a loss of any benefit to which Seller is entitled under, any Contract or instrument binding upon Seller or to which the property of Seller is subject, (iii) assuming the receipt of all consents, approvals, waivers and authorizations and the making of notices and filings referred to in Section 3.05, violate or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any Law to which Seller is subject or under any Governmental Authorization, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), any conflict, breach, default, termination, Lien, vesting, cancellation, modification, acceleration or loss that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Seller or M2P2 Operations.

3.04 Ownership. Seller is the sole record owner of the Securities set forth on Schedule 3.04 and has good and valid title to such Securities. On the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer to Buyer, and Buyer shall acquire, good and valid title to the Securities free and clear of all Liens, options, proxies, voting trusts or agreements and other restrictions and limitations of any kind, other than as created by Buyer or applicable federal and state securities Laws.

3.08 Litigation. There is no Litigation pending and served or threatened in writing or, to Seller’s Knowledge, pending and not served or otherwise threatened against or affecting Seller at Law, in equity or before or by any Governmental Body, which, if determined adversely, individually or in the aggregate, would materially impair Seller’s ability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, would challenge the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or seek to enjoin or prohibit consummation or seek other material equitable relief with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller or M2P2 Operations.

3.09 Organization, Qualification, Capitalization, etc. of the Companies and the Company Subsidiaries.

(a) Other than AF JV's equity interest in AFIP, Schedule 3.09 lists each Subsidiary owned by any Company, whether direct or indirect, and the Persons owning such equity interests and the percentage of the outstanding equity interests so owned.

If within twenty (20) calendar days after an Indemnitee provides written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any Third Party Claim and the Indemnitee receives written notice from the Indemnifying Party that such Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable determination, to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within twenty-five (25) calendar days after receiving notice from the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee believes the Indemnifying Party has failed to take such steps, (ii) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnitee or other Indemnitees that are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that, with respect to such claims, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests, the Indemnitee may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable expenses thereof. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim which would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. If (x) a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim (a) without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, (b) which does not, to the extent that the Indemnitee may have any liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release of the Indemnitee of all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (c) which includes any statement as to or an admission of fact, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, or (d) in any manner that involves any injunctive relief against the Indemnitee or may materially or adversely affect the Indemnitee and (y) the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnitee to that effect. If the Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer within twenty (20) calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall be the amount of such settlement offer, plus reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Indemnitee up to the date of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnitee shall have the right to pay, compromise, or settle any Third Party Claim at any time, provided that in such event the Indemnitee shall waive any right to indemnity hereunder unless the Indemnitee shall have first sought the consent of the Indemnifying Party in writing to such payment, settlement or compromise and such consent was unreasonably withheld or delayed, in which event no claim for indemnity therefore hereunder shall be waived.

The parties shall cooperate in the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives all records and other materials in its possession reasonably required for use in contesting any Third Party Claim (subject to such confidentiality provisions as the Indemnitee may reasonably require) and shall furnish such testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the claim or demand, or any cross-complaint against any Person. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee in cooperating with or acting at the request of the Indemnifying Party.

The party defending the Third Party Claim shall (A) consult with the other party throughout the pendency of the Third Party Claim regarding the investigation, defense, settlement, compromise, trial, appeal or other resolution thereof; and (B) afford the other party the opportunity, by notice, to participate and be associated in the defense of the Third Party Claim through counsel chosen by such other party, at its own expense, in the defense of any Third Party Claim as to which a party has elected to conduct and control the defense thereof.

10.08 Direct Claim. Any claim by an Indemnitee on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, stating the nature of such claim in reasonable detail and indicating the estimated amount, if practicable, but in any event not later than twenty five (25) calendar days after the Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) calendar days within which to respond to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim. If the Indemnifying Party rejects such claim, the Indemnitee shall be free to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement.

10.09 Reduction of Indemnity. If the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith (together with interest thereon from the date of payment thereof at the prime rate then in effect of the Escrow Agent, or any successor thereto, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. Upon making any indemnity payment, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee against any third party in respect of the Indemnifiable Loss to which the indemnity payment relates; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall then be in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss and (ii) until the Indemnitee recovers full payment of its Indemnifiable Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby made expressly subordinated and subjected in right of payment to the Indemnitee’s rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnitee and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation and subordination rights. Nothing in this Section 10.10 shall be construed to require any party hereto to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage.

10.10 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise set forth in the Note and Pledge Agreement and Section 12.16, the provisions set forth in this Article X are the exclusive remedies of Seller and Buyer arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and shall be in lieu of any rights under contract, tort, equity or otherwise (other than claims based on Fraud or intentional breach of this Agreement).

10.11 Failure of Notice. A failure to give timely notice as provided in this Article X shall not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except if, and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the party which was entitled to receive such notice was actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE

$[_______________]

September 13, 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and intending to be legally bound, AGFEED INDUSTRIES, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Buyer”), promises to pay to the order of AF SELLCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), the principal sum of [_______________] Dollars ($[_______________]), with interest thereon, as provided herein.

1. Principal and Interest.

(a) Unless sooner accelerated pursuant to Section 8 hereof, and subject to any restrictions and limitations stated herein, the principal balance of this Promissory Note (this “Note”) shall be due and payable in forty (40) successive quarterly payments commencing on December 31, 2010 in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto.

(b) Simple interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the fixed annual rate of eight percent (8.0%). Accrued interest shall be payable quarterly, simultaneously with the payment of the installments of principal required to be made pursuant to Section 1(a).

2. Maximum Legal Rate. Buyer shall not be obligated to pay, and Seller shall not collect, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum permitted by law or the maximum that will not subject Seller to any civil or criminal penalties. If, because of the acceleration of maturity, the payment of interest in advance or any other reason, Buyer is required, under the provisions of this Note or otherwise, to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under such provisions shall immediately and automatically be reduced to such maximum rate, and any payment made in excess of such maximum rate, together with interest thereon at the rate provided herein from the date of such payment, shall be immediately and automatically applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the date on which such excess payment was made. If the amount to be so applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance exceeds the amount of the unpaid principal balance, the amount of such excess shall be refunded by Seller to Buyer.

3. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that each partial prepayment hereon shall be in an amount of no less than One-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). Each prepayment hereon shall be applied first to interest and then to principal in the inverse order of maturity and shall not postpone or reduce any regularly scheduled payment of principal or interest.

4. Acquisition. This Note is one of the “Notes” identified and defined in Section 1.03 of the Membership Purchase Agreement dated as of September 13, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”) between Buyer and Seller, and evidences a portion of the purchase price payable by Buyer to Seller in consideration for the sale and transfer by Seller to Buyer of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of M2 P2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“M2P2”), owned by Seller. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

5. Pledge Agreement. This Note is secured by a Pledge Agreement dated as of the Execution Date (the “Pledge Agreement”) executed by Buyer in favor of Seller pursuant to which Buyer has pledged to Seller, and granted to Seller a first-priority lien on, and security interest in, all of the issued and outstanding equity interest of M2P2 (the “Collateral”).

6. Additional Covenants of Buyer. Until such time as the entire principal amount, subject to any restrictions and limitations stated herein, of, and all accrued, unpaid interest on, this Note shall have been irrevocably paid in full, Buyer will, and will cause M2P2 to, observe the following covenants unless Seller shall otherwise consent in advance and in writing:

(iii) Indebtedness of the Companies and the Company Subsidiaries in existence as of the date hereof.

(iv) For purposes of this Note, “Indebtedness” means, with respect to any Person, any and all obligations of such Person (1) for borrowed money, (2) evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, (3) under or relating to letters of credit (including any obligation to reimburse the letter of credit issuer with respect to amounts drawn on such instruments), (4) for the deferred purchase price of goods or services (other than trade payables or accruals incurred and paid in the ordinary course of business), (5) under capital leases, (6) with respect to bank overdrafts or otherwise reflected as negative cash in financial statements of such Person, (7) for deferred compensation, (8) to pay any accrued dividends or dividends that have otherwise been declared and not yet paid, and (ix) in the nature of guarantees of the obligations described in clauses (i) through (viii) above of any other Person.

(b) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain all of the assets of M2P2 Operations that are material or necessary to the operation of its business in their condition as of the Execution Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

(d) Buyer shall maintain the Collateral free and clear of any Lien except (i) the Lien contemplated by the Pledge Agreement, and (ii) any restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement Restrictions") or any restrictions identical to the Credit Agreement Restrictions under any Indebtedness permitted by Section 6(a)(ii)). .

(g) Buyer cause to be kept, complete and accurate books and records with respect to the business and financial condition of the Companies and the Company Subsidiaries, in accordance with GAAP. Buyer will permit any employee, attorney, accountant or other agent of Seller, at Seller's sole cost and expense, to audit, review, make extracts from and copy any of such books and records at any time during ordinary business hours, and to discuss the affairs of the Companies and the Company Subsidiaries with any of Seller's managers.

(i) None of the Companies and the Company Subsidiaries will, nor will Buyer cause or permit any Company or Company Subsidiary to, consolidate with or merge into any other entity whereby such Company or Company Subsidiary is not the surviving entity, or permit any other entity to merge into it that would result in a violation of any other provision of this Section when looking at the merged or consolidated entity; provided, however, any Company or Company Subsidiary can merge with another Company or Company Subsidiary.

(j) In order to permit Seller to file a financing statement covering such Collateral or perfect the security interest granted by the Pledge Agreement, Buyer shall notify Seller at least five (5) business days prior to (i) any move of its chief executive office or principal place of business or (ii) any change in its name or jurisdiction of organization.

(l) Buyer shall not allow the addition of any new members in M2P2.

WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into a Membership Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Parties have agreed to deposit in escrow certain funds and other property and wish such deposit to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment. The Parties hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2. Fund. Buyer shall deposit with the Escrow Agent (a) the sum of $[________] by wire transfer and $[________] by check (collectively, the “Escrowed Cash”), (b) a stock certificate representing [________] shares of common stock of Buyer, par value $0.001 per share (the “Escrowed Stock”), and (c) a promissory note from Buyer to Seller in the principal amount of $[________] (the “Escrowed Note” and together with the Escrowed Cash and the Escrowed Stock, the “Escrow Deposit”). The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Deposit and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall invest and reinvest the Escrowed Cash and the proceeds thereof (the “Fund”) as directed in Section 3.

3. Investment of Fund. During the term of this Agreement, the Fund shall be invested in a Money Market Deposit Account (“MMDA”) or a successor or similar investment offered by the Escrow Agent, unless otherwise instructed by the Parties and as shall be acceptable to the Escrow Agent. MMDA have rates of compensation that may vary from time to time based upon market conditions. Instructions to make any other investment (“Alternative Investment”), must be in a writing signed by both Parties and shall specify the type and identity of the investments to be purchased and/or sold. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to execute purchases and sales of investments through the facilities of its own trading or capital markets operations or those of any affiliated entity. The Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates may receive compensation with respect to any Alternative Investment directed hereunder including without limitation charging any applicable agency fee in connection with each transaction. The Parties recognize and agree that the Escrow Agent will not provide supervision, recommendations or advice relating to either the investment of moneys held in the Fund or the purchase, sale, retention or other disposition of any investment described herein. The Escrow Agent shall not have any liability for any loss sustained as a result of any investment in an investment made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or as a result of any liquidation of any investment prior to its maturity or for the failure of the Parties to give the Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest the Fund. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds necessary to make required payments under this Agreement.

4. Disposition and Termination. The Escrow Deposit shall be disbursed as follows:

(a) Upon written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A signed by representatives of Seller and Buyer, respectively, to Seller if the Closing Date Equity Value (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) equals or exceeds the Preliminary Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

(b) Upon written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit B signed by representatives of Seller and Buyer, respectively, to Buyer and possibly Seller, if the Closing Date Equity Value does not equal to or exceed the Preliminary Purchase Price. The Parties agree that the Escrow Agent is not responsible for reviewing the Purchase Agreement or investigating the matters set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B.

(c) Upon delivery of the Escrow Deposit by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 4, this Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 8(b).

(d) Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Seller shall not be entitled to payment by Buyer or the Escrow Agent of any interest, earnings or other income on or in respect of the Funds other than the Escrowed Cash to be disbursed to Seller pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 4(b); and (ii) in no event shall Buyer have any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever to pay any interest or other fees or amounts to Seller on account of or with respect to any of the Escrow Deposit. In addition, Seller (A) acknowledges that Buyer intends to comply with such federal, state and local tax information reporting and withholding requirements as Buyer determines are applicable to the Funds and any interest, earnings or other income on or in respect thereof paid to Seller, and (B) agrees to file its tax returns consistent with such information reporting and withholding absent manifest error of applicable law or fact.

5. Escrow Agent. (a) The Escrow Agent shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the Parties, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation the Purchase Agreement and any agreements entered into in connection therewith (collectively, the “Underlying Agreements”), nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any person or entity has complied with any Underlying Agreements, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of any Underlying Agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement, those of any Underlying Agreements, any schedule or exhibit attached to the Agreement, or any other agreement among the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Party or Parties without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party, any beneficiary or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or related to the transfer or distribution of the Fund, or any portion thereof, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 11 below and the Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as may be required thereunder. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due to it or the Fund, including, without limitation, the Escrow Deposit nor shall the Escrow Agent have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any amounts deposited with it hereunder.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to either Party. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any Party which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be given a direction in writing by the Parties which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Escrow Agent or by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties agree to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

6. Succession. (a) The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) days advance notice in writing of such resignation to the Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. If the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires shall be to hold the Fund (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a designated substitute escrow agent, if any, or in accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time of delivery Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 8(b). In accordance with Section 8(b), the Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold an amount equal to any amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of the Agreement.

(b) Any entity into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity to which all or substantially all the escrow business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.

7. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Parties agree jointly and severally (a) to pay the Escrow Agent upon execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter reasonable compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, along with any fees or charges for accounts, including those levied by any governmental authority which the Escrow Agent may impose, charge or pass-through, which unless otherwise agreed in writing shall be as described in Schedule 2 attached hereto, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all expenses, disbursements and advances, including, without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred or made by it in connection with the performance, modification and termination of this Agreement. The obligations contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent. Buyer and Seller each agree to pay 50% of the Annual Administration Fee set forth on Schedule 2 upon execution of this Agreement.

8. Indemnity. The Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, directors, agents and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, penalties, judgments, settlements, litigation, investigations, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment)(collectively “Losses”) arising out of or in connection with (i) the Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Agreement, tax reporting or withholding, the enforcement of any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement, or as may arise by reason of any act, omission or error of the Indemnitee, except in the case of any Indemnitee to the extent that such Losses are finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been primarily caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (ii) its following any instructions or directions, whether joint or singular, from the Parties, except to the extent that its following any such instruction or direction is expressly forbidden by the terms hereof. The indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 8(a) shall survive the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

9. Patriot Act Disclosure/Taxpayer Identification Numbers/Tax Reporting.

(a) Patriot Act Disclosure. Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires the Escrow Agent to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Escrow Agent’s identity verification procedures require the Escrow Agent to obtain information which may be used to confirm the Parties identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). The Parties agree to provide the Escrow Agent with and consent to the Escrow Agent obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Escrow Agent.

(b) Certification and Tax Reporting. The Parties have provided the Escrow Agent with their respective fully executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8, or W-9 and/or other required documentation. All interest or other income earned under this Agreement shall be allocated to Buyer and/or Seller, as set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, and reported, as and to the extent required by law, by the Escrow Agent to the IRS, or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the Escrow Deposit by Buyer and/or Seller, as set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable. Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities. The Parties hereby represent to the Escrow Agent that (i) there is no sale or transfer of an United States Real Property Interest as defined under IRC Section 897(c) in the underlying transaction giving rise to this Agreement; and (ii) such underlying transaction does not constitute an installment sale requiring tax reporting or withholding of imputed interest or original issue discount to the IRS or other taxing authority. All accrued interest shall be paid to Seller in accordance with Exhibit A upon disbursement of the Escrow Deposit pursuant to Section 4(a). All accrued interest shall be paid to Buyer and/or Seller in accordance with Exhibit B upon disbursement of the Escrow Deposit pursuant to Section 4(b).

10. Notices.

11. Security Procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary as set forth in Section 10, any instructions setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the transfer or distribution of funds, including but not limited to any such funds transfer instructions that may otherwise be set forth in a written instruction permitted pursuant to Section 4, may be given to the Escrow Agent only by confirmed facsimile and no instruction for or related to the transfer or distribution of the Fund, or any portion thereof, shall be deemed delivered and effective unless the Escrow Agent actually shall have received such instruction by facsimile at the number provided to the Parties by the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 10 and as further evidenced by a confirmed transmittal to that number.

(a) In the event funds transfer instructions are so received by the Escrow Agent by facsimile, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule 1 hereto, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the authorized representatives identified in Schedule 1, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized both to receive written instructions from and seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of Seller or Buyer’s executive officers, (“Executive Officers”), as the case may be, , as the Escrow Agent may select. Such Executive Officer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer. The Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Seller or Buyer to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent may apply any of the Fund for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated.

Each Party and the Escrow Agent irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Delaware. To the extent that in any jurisdiction either Party may now or hereafter be entitled to claim for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution attachment (before or after judgment), or other legal process, such Party shall not claim, and it hereby irrevocably waives, such immunity. The Escrow Agent and the Parties further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Agreement. No party to this Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, floods, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failure, or other causes reasonably beyond its control. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. All signatures of the parties to this Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile or other electronic transmission, and such facsimile or other electronic transmission will, for all purposes, be deemed to be the original signature of such party whose signature it reproduces, and will be binding upon such party. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction. A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right to enforce any term of this Agreement. The Parties represent, warrant and covenant that each document, notice, instruction or request provided by such Party to Escrow Agent shall comply with applicable laws and regulations. Where, however, the conflicting provisions of any such applicable law may be waived, they are hereby irrevocably waived by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the end that this Agreement shall be enforced as written. Except as expressly provided in Section 8, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Escrow Agent and the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, interest or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any funds escrowed hereunder.
