RECITALS

A. Purchaser and the AG Companies are the parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 2, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”, with terms used but not defined in this Limited Waiver having the meanings given in the Purchase Agreement).

B. Purchaser and the AG Companies have good and valid reasons for desiring to complete the Closing on Sunday, September 30, 2007, which will make compliance with certain provisions of the Purchase Agreement (specified below) impracticable.

C. Purchaser and the AG Companies have good and valid reasons for desiring to satisfy Purchaser’s credit requirements for retailers to qualify as Qualified Retailers, to be certain that the Closing will occur on Sunday, September 30, 2007, and to maximize the Supply Agreement Adjustment to be paid to the Company.

LIMITED WAIVER

Accordingly, the parties, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

1. Closing Date; Closing Payment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Closing Date shall be Sunday, September 30, 2007, and the Closing shall be effective as of the first moment of time on September 30, 2007, Pacific Time (the “Effective Time”). The parties waive the requirements of Section 3.05(f) of the Purchase Agreement (entitled “Wire Transfers”) as to delivery of the Closing Payment at Closing under Section 3.05(a). Instead:

1.1 Notwithstanding Section 3.01(m) or anything else to the contrary, at Closing the AG Companies shall retain all cash and cash equivalents of the AG Companies as of the Closing Date and time, as set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet, as a partial payment of the Closing Payment; and

1.2 On Monday, October 1, 2007, Purchaser shall deliver $2,646,807.91 (which the parties agree is the Withdrawal Liability Amount calculated under Section 7.03(d) of the Purchase Agreement) to U.S. Bank National Association as the escrow agent under the Escrow Agreement described in Section 3.10(a)(7) of the Purchase Agreement; and

1.3 By 10:00 A.M. on Monday, October 1, 2007, Purchaser shall pay to the Company, in immediately available funds in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Purchase Agreement, the amount of $30,241,024.73 (which is the Closing Payment minus the cash and cash equivalents described in Section 1.1 above).

2. Purchase Price Adjustments. The parties agree that the adjustments to the Closing Payment to be made at Closing under Section 3.05(a) of the Purchase Agreement are as described in this Section 2 and in the Closing Statement attached as Annex A hereto (the “Closing Statement”). The parties further agree that all adjustments shall be made as of Saturday, September 29, 2007 immediately prior to the Effective Time; for example, and without limiting the foregoing, all revenue earned and expenses owing as of September 29, 2007 (including payroll and related expenses) shall be for the AG Companies’ account, and all revenue earned and expenses owing from and after the Effective Time relating to Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities or Hired Employees (including payroll and related expenses) shall be for Purchaser’s account. Nothing in this Section 2 constitute a waiver or settlement of the post-closing adjustments described in the Purchase Agreement.

2.1 Estimated Closing Purchased Working Capital Adjustment. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Statement of Estimated Closing Purchased Working Capital, and the parties agree the Estimated Closing Purchased Working Capital Adjustment shall be a downward adjustment to the Closing Payment of $989,751, as set forth in the Statement of Estimated Closing Purchased Working Capital and the Closing Statement. The parties agree that the accounts receivable of AGIC Insurance Agency, Inc. (estimated to be approximately $100,000 as of the Closing Date) are Purchased Assets for all purposes of the Purchase Agreement, including the calculation of Purchased Working Capital.

2.2 Estimated Closing Reserves. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Statement of Estimated Closing Reserves, and the parties agree the Estimated Closing Reserves shall be an upward adjustment to the Closing Payment of $383,247, as set forth in the Statement of Estimated Closing Reserves and the Closing Statement.

2.3 Supply Agreement Adjustment; Qualified Retailers. The parties agree the Supply Agreement Adjustment as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was $1,903,645.64 (the “Estimated Supply Agreement Adjustment”), calculated as provided in the attached Annex B (the “Supply Agreement Adjustment Spreadsheet”). The parties agree that each of the retailers identified as a Qualified Retailer in the Supply Agreement Adjustment Spreadsheet is a “Qualified Retailer” for all purposes of the Purchase Agreement (including Section 8.02(f) thereof, entitled “Aggregate Minimum Annual Committed Purchases of Qualified Retailers” and Section 3.05(b)(3) thereof, entitled “Supply Agreement Adjustment”). Purchaser will pay the Estimated Supply Agreement Adjustment Amount to the Company on October 1, 2007 as part of the Closing Payment. If Purchaser receives any additional Supply Agreements, documentation or credit support from Zupan Enterprises, Inc. or Zupan’s Belmont, Inc. by October 5, 2007, Purchaser will pay to the Company by 10:00 A.M. on October 8, 2007 an amount equal to 0.04 multiplied by the aggregate amount of committed annual purchases reflected the Supply Agreements executed by such those entities.

2.4 Tax Adjustment. The parties agree that there shall be no Tax Adjustment.

2.5 Long Term Asset Adjustment. The parties agree the Long Term Asset Adjustment reduces the Closing Payment by $218,587, calculated as provide in the Statement of Long Term Asset Adjustment attached as Annex C.

3. Effective Date of Certain Covenants. Each party acknowledges that certain activities that would ordinarily occur on the Closing Date, such as recording or filing conveyances, instruments of title, releases of liens and the like, cannot occur on a Sunday. Each party therefore agrees that all covenants that the other parties cannot perform on the Closing Date solely because the Closing is occurring on a Sunday shall be performed on Monday, October 1, 2007.

4. Irrevocable Partial Assignment of Distributions.

4.1 With respect to each Irrevocable Partial Assignment of Distributions in substantially the form attached as Annex D. hereto (each an “Assignment”) that a Qualified Retailer signs and delivers to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date in lieu of an immediate cash deposit, the AG Companies agree to subordinate any security interest, lien or right of setoff, recoupment or reduction of any kind that the AG Companies may have in the Distributions that the Qualified Retailer is otherwise entitled to receive from the Company to Purchaser’s right to receive assignment of such Distributions. Such subordination shall apply only to the extent of the lesser of (a) the Distribution Portion in the amount set forth in the Assignment that the Qualified Retailer signs and delivers to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date and (b) the amount set forth beside the name of the applicable Qualified Retailer in the Supply Agreement Adjustment Spreadsheet.

Purchaser confirms that it has not received any signed Assignment other than from the Company.

4.2 With respect to each Assignment that a retailer who is not a Qualified Retailer signs and delivers to Purchaser in lieu of an immediate cash deposit by such retailer (and that Purchaser delivers to the Company on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date), the AG Companies agree to subordinate any security interest, lien or right of setoff, recoupment or reduction of any kind that the AG Companies may have in the Distributions that the retailer is otherwise entitled to receive from the Company to Purchaser’s right to receive assignment of such Distributions but only after the AG Companies have collected all Excluded Accounts Receivable due to the any of the AG Companies from such retailer. Subject to the preceding, (i) the Company agrees to pay any Distribution that the retailer is otherwise entitled to receive from the Company (after the AG Companies have collected all Excluded Accounts Receivable due to the any of the AG Companies from such retailer) to Purchaser in accordance with the payment instructions attached to the Assignment before exercising any of the rights that are subordinated above, (ii) the AG Companies acknowledge and agree they will retain no legal or equitable interest whatsoever in the amounts paid to Purchaser pursuant to an Assignment, and (iii) solely for the purposes of this Section 4.2, the Company agrees to waive those terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, and those terms of any other document or agreement between the Company and the retailer, that would prohibit, restrict, or otherwise conflict with the subordination and payment provisions of this Section 4.2.

Purchaser expressly assumes from and after the Closing all liabilities associated with all DUNS numbers used by any of the AG Companies; in addition, Purchaser expressly assumes all liabilities associated with Purchaser using any DUNS numbers before the Closing. All such liabilities shall be “Assumed Liabilities” for all purposes of the Purchase Agreement.
