RECITALS
A. The Boards of Directors of each of the BIOF and FWAY believe it is in
the best interests of each company and their respective stockholders that BIOF
acquire FWAY through the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of capital
stock of FWAY from the FWAY Stockholders (the "ACQUISITION") and, in furtherance
thereof, have approved the Acquisition.
B. Pursuant to the Acquisition, the FWAY Stockholders, who in the
aggregate own all of the outstanding shares of FWAY Common Stock ("FWAY
COMMON"), shall exchange the shares of FWAY Common held by them for newly-issued
shares of BIOF Common Stock ("BIOF Common").
C. On the Closing Date, BIOF shall have either liquidated or otherwise
provided for the elimination of 100% of the current liabilities of BIOF and
shall have transferred all of its assets to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Ocwen, a
Nevada corporation ("OCWEN"), the shares of capital stock of which shall have
been transferred, as a dividend on the pre-Acquisition outstanding BIOF Common,
to a trustee to hold for the benefit of the pre-Acquisition holders of the BIOF
Common (the "SPIN-OFF").
D. In connection with the Acquisition, BIOF desires to make certain
representations and warranties to FWAY and the FWAY Stockholders, and each of
FWAY and the two FWAY Stockholders desire to make certain representations to
BIOF.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and
representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
intending to be legally bound hereby the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1
THE ACQUISITION.
1.1 SHARE EXCHANGE. Subject to the terms and conditions herein stated, on
the Closing Date each FWAY Stockholder shall exchange, assign, transfer and
deliver to BIOF and BIOF shall acquire such FWAY Stockholder's FWAY Common in
exchange for the issuance by BIOF of an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of BIOF
Common (the "ACQUISITION CONSIDERATION") to the FWAY Stockholders. The number of
shares of FWAY Common to be exchanged by each FYWAY Stockholder and the number
-1-
of shares of BIOF Common to be received by each FWAY Stockholder pursuant to
this Agreement is set forth on EXHIBIT A.
1.2 ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS. At the Closing Date, all options to purchase
FWAY Common then outstanding under FWAY's 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan (the
"OPTION PLAN") shall be assumed by BIOF in accordance with provisions described
below.
(a) Each such option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same
terms and conditions set forth in the Option Plan and/or as provided in the
respective option agreements governing such immediately prior to the Closing
Date, except that (A) such option shall be exercisable for that number of whole
shares of BIOF Common equal to the product of the number of shares of FWAY
Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such option immediately prior
to the Closing Date multiplied by quotient of (x) the number of shares of BIOF
Common constituting the Acquisition Consideration divided by (y) the number of
shares of FWAY Common to be exchanged by the FWAY Stockholders pursuant to this
Agreement, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of BIOF Common and
(B) the per share exercise price for the shares of BIOF Common issuable upon
exercise of such assumed option shall be equal to the quotient determined by
dividing the exercise price per share of FWAY Common at which such option was
exercisable immediately prior to the Closing Date by the quotient described in
clause (A), rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
(b) It is the intention of the parties that the options assumed by BIOF
qualify following the Closing Date as incentive stock options as defined in
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent such options qualified as
incentive stock options immediately prior to the Closing Date.
(c) Promptly following the Closing Date, BIOF will issue to each holder of
an assumed option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such option
by BIOF.
1.3 ANTIDILUTION PROVISION. In the event BIOF changes (or establishes a
record date that occurs before the Closing Date for changing) the number of
shares of BIOF Common issued and outstanding before the Closing Date as a result
of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision,
reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction with
respect to the outstanding shares as of the Closing Date, the Acquisition
Consideration shall be proportionately adjusted, as applicable, to reflect such
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification,
combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction. In addition, in the
event BIOF pays (or establishes a record date that occurs before the Closing
Date for payment of) an extraordinary dividend on, or makes any other
extraordinary distribution in respect of, BIOF Common, the Acquisition
Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such dividend or
distribution.
1.4 REORGANIZATION FOR TAX PURPOSES. The parties intend to adopt this
Agreement as a "Plan of Reorganization" and to consummate the Acquisition in
accordance with the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

of business. With respect to the property and assets it leases, FWAY is in
compliance with such leases in all material respects and, to its knowledge,
holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances,

terms thereof public, it shall consult with the other parties regarding such
disclosure and seek confidential treatment for such terms or portions of this

8.4 NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN MATTERS.
(a) FWAY and the FWAY Stockholders shall give prompt notice to BIOF of
(i) the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event the occurrence or nonoccurrence
of which has caused or would be likely to cause any representation or warranty
by FWAY or any of the FWAY Stockholders contained in this Agreement to be untrue
or inaccurate at or before the Closing Date and (ii) any failure by FWAY or any
of the FWAY Stockholders to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any
covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it
hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this
SECTION 8.4(a) shall not cure such breach or non-compliance by FWAY or any FWAY
Stockholder, limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to BIOF,
or constitute an amendment of any representation, warranty or statement in this

Closing Date and (ii) any failure by BIOF to comply with or satisfy in any
material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice
pursuant to this SECTION 8.4(B) shall not cure such breach or non-compliance by
BIOF, as the case may be, limit or otherwise affect the remedies available
hereunder to the FWAY or the FWAY Stockholders, or constitute an amendment of
any representation, warranty or statement in this Agreement.
8.5 BIOF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING. BIOF shall, as promptly as practicable

Incorporation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the FWAY

of the adoption and approval of the foregoing proposals and shall take all other
actions necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its stockholders
required by NASDAQ to obtain such approvals. BIOF's Board of Directors shall
recommend to BIOF's stockholders that they vote in favor of the foregoing
resolutions.

regulatory Authority.
8.7 REORGANIZATION MATTERS. None of BIOF, FWAY or the FWAY Stockholders,
or any of their respective Affiliates shall take any action or fail to take any

reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal
Revenue Code. SECTION 9

Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect and there shall be no
liability on the part of any party hereto or its Affiliates, directors, officers
or stockholders; provided that if this Agreement is terminated by BIOF pursuant
to SECTION 9.1(C) or by FWAY pursuant to SECTION 9.1(D) then the terminating
party shall retain all rights to seek damages or other relief from the breaching
party for any losses arising from or related to such party's breach; and
provided further that SECTION 10 shall continue in full force and effect.
SECTION 10
SPECIAL REMEDIES
10.1 RESCISSION. If the representations and warranties of BIOF are not
true and correct and such failure or failures taken together have a Material
Adverse Effect on BIOF and its subsidiaries taken as a whole then the FWAY
Stockholders shall have a right of recession with respect to this transaction.
Such right may be exercised by the FWAY Stockholders delivering to BIOF a signed
written notice (the "RESCISSION NOTICE") stating (i) the breaches of the BIOF
representations and warranties which constitute a material adverse effect and
-26-
(ii) the date (the "RESCISSION CLOSING") on which the closing of the rescission
shall take place, which date shall be no less than 14 days and no more than 30
days after the date of the Rescission Notice. To the extent that any assets of
FWAY have been transferred to BIOF or a subsidiary or affiliate of BIOF after
the Closing without the transfer to FWAY of assets or services of equivalent
value, such assets (or the monetary equivalent thereof) shall be transferred
back to FWAY at the Rescission Closing. At the Rescission Closing, BIOF shall
deliver to the FWAY Stockholders (in the same proportion as their current
ownership of FWAY) duly endorsed share certificates representing all of the
issued and outstanding shares of FWAY (including any options, warrants or other
rights with respect to FWAY), which shares shall be free and clear of all liens
or encumbrances. At the Rescission Closing, each of the FWAY Stockholders shall
deliver to BIOF duly endorsed share certificates representing the number of
shares of BIOF Common issued to such FWAY Stockholder pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,
reverse stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events). The foregoing right
of rescission shall expire, if not exercised, at the end of the survival of
BIOF's representations and warranties.
10.2 ADJUSTMENT OF SHARE ISSUANCES. If at any time, and from time to time,
after the Closing, the sum of (i) the number of shares of BIOF Common issued and
outstanding as of the Closing (including the number of S-8 Shares, if any, that
are subsequent to the Closing determined to have been issued and outstanding as
of the Closing), (ii) the number of shares of BIOF Common issued with respect to
any claims relating to the cancellation of the S-8 Shares, (iii) the number of
shares of BIOF Common issued in connection with the Artwork Obligation after the
Closing, and (iv) the number of shares of BIOF Common issued with respect to any
claims arising out of events or circumstances occurring prior to the Closing
which are issued subsequent to the Closing (such sum the "ADJUSTED
CAPITALIZATION"), exceeds 6,000,000 (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, recapitalizations and like events) then BIOF shall, as soon as
practicable, issue to the FWAY Stockholders (in the same proportions as the
Acquisition Consideration was issued to them) such additional number of shares
of BIOF Common such that the total number of shares of BIOF Common issued to the
FWAY Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement equals three (3) times the Adjusted
Capitalization. Such shares shall be deemed to be additional shares of
Acquisition Consideration and an adjustment to the acquisition price.

11.8 DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or
omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party to this
Agreement upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement
shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-defaulting party, nor
shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an
acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter
occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a
waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any
waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any
party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part
of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in

declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or
void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the
extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement, and such court will
replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a
valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the

provision. The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with
its terms.
